The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 836 Yuandi and Taiji

"Are you sure this is the entrance to the 'secret passage'?" After Zhong Ying emerged from the shadows, he looked carefully at that section of the wall but saw nothing unusual.

Zhao Chen, who had opened his "Dongxu Eye", nodded and replied with a smile, "The imperial palace must be tightly sealed by formations. The secret passage to such a place must not be an ordinary underground tunnel or secret passage.

"It's more like a 'shortcut' like the 'Black Domain Channel' that is created by abilities or magical powers.

"As for the entrance to this kind of 'shortcut', it is not bound by form."

As he spoke, he circulated his true energy and tapped repeatedly with his fingers on several specific locations on that section of the wall for more than ten times, then stepped aside.

The next moment, the surface of the wall changed. Countless runes that seemed to be formed by weathering and erosion emerged, outlining a "black and white picture" of a road leading to the distance.

The painting was getting lighter every second and it seemed that it would disappear completely soon.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen did not dare to delay. He took Zhong Ying's hand and stepped forward, stepping onto the "road" displayed on the wall.

To outsiders, it is like entering a painting!
But Zhao Chen and Zhong Ying had completely different feelings. They felt as if they had entered an abstract world composed of black, white and gray. Their eyes and spiritual consciousness could only see those three colors, nothing else.

Unable to sense objects or living beings, unable to sense direction or time, it can only keep moving forward.

If Zhao Chen could not enter the "Big Sun Star Raft" at any time, he would have wanted to take Zhong Ying away from here.

I don’t know how long it took, but when Zhao Chen took a step forward numbly, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear, and the previous feeling of "chaos" was no longer there.

He looked back and saw Zhong Ying, who was one step behind him, walking out from a wall.

"What was that just now? Was it a world in a painting?" As soon as Zhong Ying came back to reality, he looked at the wall behind him in doubt, "It was still a world of ink painting!"

"Maybe it's not just the 'world in the painting'... I have a feeling that if there wasn't a connection between the two walls that allowed us to keep moving 'forward', we would probably be lost in that abstract world just now." Zhao Chen touched his chin, and his "Dongxu Eyes" only gave a two-word introduction to the world just now.

He paused, then asked, "Have you heard of 'Yuan Di'?"

"Yuandi?" Zhong Ying thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "'Yuan' means 'Taiji'!

"Is this the clue you got? Hmm... Could it be that the place just now was a special world opened up by the Taoist Taiji?"

"Special world?" Zhao Chen asked carefully, "Like the 'underworld' or 'heart world'?"

Zhong Ying nodded and explained, “That’s right…When every Dao Lord attains enlightenment, a similar strange world will be opened up, but generally speaking, unless the Dao Lord is willing to open it to other cultivators, this kind of world is the private property of the Dao Lord, and outsiders cannot enter or use it at all.

“Besides the Five Innate Supreme Beings, the worlds opened up by other Dao Lords are not closely related to Xuantian.

"Well, as far as I know, the 'Heart Realm' was opened up by 'Taishu Daojun', and the 'Yin World' originated from 'Taishi Daojun'. This is relatively clear... 'Taiyi' is more controversial. Some say that he is the ancestor of the 'Blood Sea', some think that the 'Black Domain' is the basis for his enlightenment, and some believe that the 'Historical Mist' was opened up by him...

"It is rumored that the source of Taichu's enlightenment is the Nine-Layered Heaven Palace or the Nine Heavenly Palaces, which correspond to the Nine Veins of Kunlun.

“Unfortunately, the Nine Heavens are now empty, and the Nine Veins of Kunlun are also hidden in the mist of history, so there is no way to prove this statement.

"As for 'Tai Chi'... this Taoist is extremely low-key, has never appeared in public, has never accepted any disciples, and has never established a Taoist school... All the information about him comes from the words of other Taoists." Having said this, Zhong Ying touched the surface of the wall with a solemn expression, and said in disbelief:

"If 'Yuan Di' is really a special world opened up by 'Taiji Daojun' for him to prove his Dao, then who is the person who can use it to build such a 'secret passage'?

"And why did they build such a secret passage in the Liang Kingdom's palace... It couldn't be that they were doing this for an affair, right?"

Zhao Chen naturally had no answer to Zhong Ying's question, but he actually thought of more things:
If the secret passage really borrowed the power of Taiji Daojun's world, does it mean that Taiji Daojun is aware of the current series of events surrounding the King of Liang?
It is even possible that He is one of the behind-the-scenes driving forces behind the fate of Feimeng and me!

Otherwise, why is there still a secret passage in this replica of the capital city that can borrow the power of "His World"? !
He did not die, nor did he open his "heart realm" while he was alive like the Taoist Master "Tai Su".

"Have we finally seen the tip of the iceberg?" Zhao Chen muttered, and then he temporarily suppressed his slightly excited mood. He took a deep breath and said to Zhong Ying: "Let's confirm the situation first, and discuss the rest after we get out."

"Okay!" Zhong Ying had no objection and quickly got into the "role", turning into a shadow and extending outwards.

However, Zhao Chen did not act rashly, but only explored the palace where he was.

However, he soon found that this place was very familiar. Apart from the different decoration and furnishings, the layout was exactly the same as the Queen's bedroom.

The room where that wall was located was also the bathing place where he took two baths.

It’s just that the bathing pool in the Queen’s bedroom was built by the Queen based on the bathing pool in Xuannv Palace, and there is no such bathing pool here.

"It was very deserted, the furniture was old and rotten in many places, and it was obvious that no one lived there permanently...

"Could this be the Liang Kingdom's cold palace?
"But the Queen's bedroom is in a good location in the imperial palace. Can it really be used as a cold palace?"

Zhao Chen frowned. There was no treasure here, and no one was guarding it, so it should be considered a safe house, but he always felt something was not right.

At this moment, intermittent sounds of women crying suddenly rang out all around.

The sound was very far away at first and could not be heard clearly, but within a few breaths, it reached Zhao Chen's ears clearly.

The crying was so mournful and mournful that it was chilling.

What is this? Is it haunted? No wonder it's abandoned!
Zhao Chen complained in his mind, then circulated the "Five Immortals' Spiritual Qi" and entered the "Yellow Emperor's Central Lord" state, aiming to prevent any external evil from invading his body and mind.

However, a "faint fragrance" suddenly emerged from nowhere at this moment and filled the entire palace.

"The witch's fragrance? Why is it here... Is that 'Saint' here too?

"No... Although it is very similar, this is not the fragrance of that 'Saint'!

"Are there other witches here?"

As his thoughts raced, Zhao Chen suddenly realized a problem that both he and Fei Meng had overlooked:

Why did the King of Liang obtain the remains of the evil god worshipped by the witch? Was it really a coincidence?
