After the Skyfall

Chapter 556 Jinyiwei

Li Yi had a really hard time walking on the streets of the capital. These people, rich or poor, seemed to treat him as a wish-making machine, asking about money, marriage, or fame. After he gave them some pointers, they found an opportunity to quickly leave.

After he had walked several streets away, people around him no longer recognized him. They thought he was just an ordinary Taoist and did not pay much attention to him.

However, after this operation, Li Yi found that there were indeed a lot of incense and faith gathered around him.

really.

The more people there are in a place, the easier it is to obtain incense. However, his belief in incense is unstable. Today these people believe in him, but after a few days, when they forget about this matter, the aura of incense on Li Yi will dissipate.

Therefore, if you want stable incense offerings, you must obtain the title from the imperial court. Only then can you manage a piece of land with peace of mind and gather incense offerings from all the people. Otherwise, there is no way to practice peacefully with only these short-lived incense offerings and beliefs.

If Li Yi hadn't been thinking about finding his father, he would really want to raise the flag of rebellion in Xinzhou City. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, at least he could obtain a large amount of incense and mental power first.

"Prince Xin, are you still not going to tell me where the person who wrote the lyrics is now? You promised me before. If you go back on your word, you know my methods."

Li Yi spoke as he appreciated the prosperity of the capital city.

Prince Xin was also walking on the road. Looking at the familiar streets of the capital, he seemed a little silent. "I have lived in the capital for sixteen years. I was only named Prince Xin five years ago. I left the capital and went to Xinzhou City. The words that the Taoist priest said in the clouds shocked me so much that I have been thinking about them over and over again in my mind."

"Should I die, or let nature take its course and take the Taoist priest to find the person who wrote the lyrics and sort out some things, or should I delay for some time and wait and see what happens?"

Li Yi said: "Then you must have made a decision."

Prince Xin paused, looked into the distance, and said, "Looking back suddenly, that person is at the end of the street where the lights are dimming. The person who wrote the lyrics that the Taoist priest is looking for is there."

As he said this he pointed.

It was just that the night was long and even though the capital was brightly lit, the field of vision was limited and it was impossible to see further, so he then said, "Here we go, eighty miles north, in the middle of the capital, deep inside the imperial palace."

Li Yi was not surprised when he heard this. Instead, he was very calm and felt that it should be so.

No matter who that cross-border person is, as long as he comes to this world and has insight into the practice methods of this world, as long as he does not rebel, he can only come to the capital city and infiltrate the court, preferably the palace. Only in this way can he steal the incense and faith of the world and embark on the path of practice.

"Then I can use your identity as Prince Xin to enter the palace and meet this person." Li Yi said.

Prince Xin smiled bitterly and said, "I can get in, but the Taoist priest cannot. It is very troublesome to arrange a meeting. It is not that I am unwilling to help, but the chance is slim. If the Taoist priest is willing to believe me, you can write a letter. I will personally go to the palace to hand over the letter tomorrow morning. If the lyricist agrees to meet with the Taoist priest after reading the letter, that would be the best. If not, I can do nothing and am willing to die at the hands of the Taoist priest."

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly at this moment, but he was also thinking.

He was not sure who the man who sneaked into the palace was on Earth, whether he was a strange cross-border person or his father.

If a stranger crosses the border, it would be very dangerous to rashly enter the palace. One would be afraid that one could get in but not get out. After all, no stranger crosses the border willing to share his coordinates with others.

What's more, the power of the God of Incense in this world is not weak. If he makes too much noise, he may not be able to find the person, but make a lot of enemies. He came to this world to practice, not to fight. He also wanted to gain the faith of incense, open up the acupoints, and improve his cultivation.

Think about it for a moment.

Li Yi said, "Well, I will trust you for once. I will send you a letter tomorrow morning. Once it reaches the person who wrote the lyrics, everything will be clear."

Having said that, without saying much, he found a stall at a night market on the side of the road and sat down. Then he took out a pen and paper from the Five Elements Bracelet and started writing quickly.

Prince Xin took a curious look at it, but he didn't recognize a single word.

Obviously this is not the text of this world.

Li Yi wrote in simplified Chinese characters, and the content was also simple. He only wrote an address and his own name. Anyone who crossed the border would understand it at a glance, and there was no need to say anything else.

After writing it, he stuffed it directly into Prince Xin's hands.

After Prince Xin received the letter, he looked dazed for a moment, but soon he held the letter tightly in his hand, fearing that it would be lost accidentally.

"Don't be nervous, you just need to do your own thing. Let's go. From now on, there is no need to follow me. You can go to the palace by yourself, but time must go quickly and my patience is limited." Li Yi then stopped a passerby who was leading a horse, snatched the horse away, and handed it to King Xin.

"I understand, Taoist priest, don't worry, this letter will definitely appear in the hands of the person who wrote the lyrics tomorrow morning." Prince Xin took a deep breath, and for some reason, his whole body was shaking slightly.

The man in front of him didn't understand, but he knew very well how serious this matter was.

I don’t know whether what I did today was right or wrong.

However, there were some questions that he couldn't help but want to find out, even though he knew it would cost him his life.

"drive!"

Prince Xin jumped on his horse, holding the reins in one hand and the letter in the other, and rushed along the road. He shouted loudly: "I am His Royal Highness Prince Xin. I have important business to attend to in the palace. All those who are irrelevant please get out of my way."

As soon as this voice came out, people on the road made way.

But soon, another official in brocade clothes with a sword on his waist rushed out on horseback from somewhere, chased after him, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "If it is really His Royal Highness Prince Xin, you can take the imperial road directly to the palace. If you are pretending to be the prince, your three clans should be exterminated." "Someone will identify my identity. The Brocade Guards will lead the way. Don't say anything more." Prince Xin shouted.

The Jinyiwei bowed respectfully, then led the way in front of him and led him into the imperial road.

The Imperial Road is a nine-zhang wide avenue that connects the east, west, south and north of the capital. Normally, only officials going to court are qualified to walk on it, and they can only walk on the side roads two zhang wide on the left and right. Only emperors and princes are qualified to walk in the middle, except in special circumstances, such as when there is urgent military intelligence or the top scorer in the imperial examination, who will be allowed to walk on the Imperial Road.

Prince Xin was quickly led to the Imperial Road by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. He rode his horse at full speed, stepped into the middle road, and headed straight for the palace.

The Jinyiwei did not dare to set foot there, but were worried that Prince Xin would lose him, so they immediately sent out a secret signal, asking the Jinyiwei near the imperial road to keep an eye on this person. At the same time, they also quickly reported the matter via bird messenger.

soon.

Many secret agents appeared near the Imperial Road. They stared at Prince Xin as he rode his horse wildly, with cold hostility in their eyes.
Because Prince Xin's identity had not been confirmed, if he was a fake, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would definitely kill him along the way, and there would be no way he would be allowed to get close to the imperial city alive. After that, their identity would be investigated and their three clans would be exterminated.

This place is eighty miles away from the imperial palace.

Even if Prince Xin rode at full speed, it would still take some time for him to enter the palace.

And as the secret order spread.

Soon, several Taoists appeared on the imperial road not far away. They stared at Prince Xin as he passed by, accompanied by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

"This person has the aura of a dragon, which is indeed in line with the status of a king."

"He should be about twenty-one, the same age as Prince Xin."

These Taoists were identifying their identities, and their every word and action was recorded by the Jinyiwei standing by, and then the secret order was sent out again.

If the Taoist observed the person's aura and found that Prince Xin did not have the aura of a dragon, he would be shot to death on the spot.

So even though Prince Xin seemed to be traveling non-stop and without any obstacles, he was actually surrounded by dangers in secret.

Prince Xin rode his horse for another twenty miles when two teams of soldiers wearing bright armor and holding spears and flags rushed out from the side road, stepped onto the side road, and escorted him all the way.

Obviously, his identity has been confirmed, and the court will dispatch the Imperial Guards to escort him and ensure his safety when entering the palace.

As for why Prince Xin disobeyed the imperial order and left his fiefdom without permission to enter the capital, that was none of their business.

now.

Li Yi, who was sitting next to a roadside stall, was stunned when he saw the Jinyiwei suddenly jump out on the street.

Since when did the Imperial Guards appear in this world where people become gods through worshipping incense?
And why do those Jinyiwei have eyes that shine brightly and energetically?

This is clearly the practice of evolution.

It's just that their strength is not high, they are probably just psychics and have inspiration. Of course, it is not ruled out that some Jinyiwei have already cultivated spiritual perception.

"Is there someone from another world teaching the method of evolution in this world?" Li Yi's heart sank.

Although teaching the method of evolution in a world where incense becomes gods seems good, it can cause disasters if it is not done properly.

Because as long as the evolver enters the soul realm, he can practice incense and become a god. When the time comes, with the blessing of the power of incense, the evolver will be a god with flesh and blood, which completely makes up for the inherent deficiencies of the god of incense.

In order to fight for incense, wouldn't these people go crazy?

However, this disadvantage will not be seen in a short period of time. After all, it takes time for the new law to adapt to the world.

"Could it be that the cross-border person used the evolution method as a means of advancement in his career, in exchange for high positions, generous salaries, and religious beliefs, so that he was able to enter the palace?" Li Yi couldn't help but think about it.

He had a lot of questions in his mind.

But the identity of the other party will naturally be revealed tomorrow morning.

All Li Yi has to do now is wait patiently.

Thinking of this, he immediately left the stall and prepared to find a good place to wait for things to happen.

However, the passerby whose horse was stolen looked at Li Yi eagerly. He wanted to yell at him, but seeing that he was a Taoist priest, tall and with an extraordinary bearing, he did not dare to do so. He could only wait obediently by the side, thinking about when to ask for compensation for his loss.

"Don't look at it. I won't take advantage of you. I'll compensate you with the horse." Li Yi took a look, threw a gem to him, and then strode away.

The passerby got a great bargain and was immediately excited. He quickly bowed in the direction Li Yi left.
