The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 330 Immortality (4400 words)
"You bear with it for now, I'll try my best." Zhu Houzhao said, with golden flames rising from his body.

The people around felt a suffocating pressure.

It was not that Zhu Houzhao could not control the spread of his aura, but except for Yin Tianqi and Butler Li, they were all in the innate realm and could naturally sense how terrifying Zhu Houzhao was at this moment.

A power that is beyond words and has no limits.

Even Zhang Sanfen and Zheng Gong felt a strong sense of oppression.

An even stronger golden light surged into Yin Zhong's body.

The pain seemed to penetrate deep into Yin Zhong's soul, and he couldn't help but roar. More blood appeared on his chest.

However, a hint of incredible surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The power of the spirit mirror wavered!

This is the first time in nearly five hundred years that the power of the spiritual realm has been shaken.

Zhu Houzhao’s strength is actually...!

The look of surprise just appeared and then quickly disappeared.

It’s not enough, far from enough!

It seemed that he knew it was not enough and Yin Zhong's body could hardly support it, so Zhu Houzhao withdrew his strength.

With his eyebrows raised, he refused to admit defeat and said, “This power is really difficult to deal with. I cannot expel it with the Mingshen Wu Dian alone.

Unfortunately, the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi are mainly used to increase physical strength, otherwise I would definitely be able to drive him away.

Old Ancestor, you have to wait a little longer. When I have developed the Mingshen Wu Dian to the peak of the heavenly realm, I will definitely be able to drive away this power."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." Yin Zhong's body was shaky and he almost fell, but a smile appeared on his face.

A smile of hope.

Because of Zhu Houzhao’s words.

Given Zhu Houzhao's age and achievements, he would certainly be able to push the Ming Shenwu Canon to the pinnacle of perfection.

Then maybe there will really be hope.

Apart from the spiritual realm, this is the second hope he sees for recovering from his injuries. How can he not smile?
I have no regrets about the things I choose to be honest about.

"Oh, old man Zhang, come and help him suppress that power." Zhu Houzhao just realized Yin Zhong's condition and said hurriedly.

His true energy is too overbearing. When it enters Yin Zhong's body, it will only suppress Yin Zhong's own true energy.

Zhang Sanfeng is the most suitable person to help Yin Zhong suppress that power, so that Yin Zhong can recover on his own.

Nodding, Zhang Sanfeng took action. About half an hour later, the hideous crack on Yin Zhong's chest disappeared and returned to normal.

"For the time being, using your true energy to expel that power won't work. You can go to the medical school later to see if you can use medicine to expel it. The dragon balls of my Ming Dynasty are also very powerful." Zhu Houzhao said immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Zhong did not refuse, mainly because the word "Dragon Ball" aroused his curiosity.

He was also curious about this treasure.

"Ancestor, I haven't asked yet, what caused your injury? Where did that power come from?" Zhu Houzhao asked again.

"To be honest with Your Majesty, my injury was not caused by man-made factors, but by a treasure." Yin Zhong was delighted and spoke without hesitation.

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity.

What kind of treasure could make a powerful celestial being who has lived for more than 500 years helpless?
Not even Your Majesty can dispel its power!
"Your Majesty, have you heard of the magic mirror?" Yin Zhong asked.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it. What about you?"

Zhang Sanfeng, Zheng Gong and others all shook their heads after thinking deeply.

"The Spirit Mirror is a legendary treasure that was born from heaven and earth. On the surface, it is just an ordinary stone mirror.

But it possesses incredible power that can make people's wishes come true and is almost omnipotent.

Resurrection and immortality are certainly out of the question.

I was severely injured by someone using a magic mirror." Yin Zhong confirmed truthfully.

At the same time, Zhang Sanfeng, Zheng Gong, Yin Tianxue and Wei Jinzhong looked at Yin Zhong with a look of increased vigilance in their eyes.

Immortality.

What a temptation this is for an emperor!
Yin Zhong did it on purpose, he was seducing Your Majesty!
"There is such a treasure!" Zhu Houzhao was not surprised at all. He was very curious, "Where is such a treasure?"

“This treasure has always been in the hands of the Tong family.

It’s a pity that the Tong family has been living in seclusion and has not appeared for nearly five hundred years.” Yin Zhong continued truthfully.

"Five hundred years, is it still there?" Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise.

"Definitely." Yin Zhong immediately confirmed: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Tong family is the bloodline of ancient gods and men, which is extremely extraordinary. They are also protected by the magic mirror, so they will not be exterminated.

At this time, I am hiding somewhere in Daming."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, as if thinking about something.

“The ancestor just said that every five hundred years is a reincarnation, and everything in the world may change drastically.

So the ancestor believes that five hundred years from now, the Tong family is likely to be born with a magic mirror?

Is the ancestor's purpose to find the Tong family and the spirit mirror and use the spirit mirror to heal his injuries?" Yin Tianxue suddenly spoke.

Yin Zhong glanced at Zhu Houzhao and nodded, "Yes, that's right."

"Ancestor, do you have a grudge against the Tong family?

I was actually hurt to this extent by someone using a spirit mirror!" Yin Tianxue said with curiosity and concentration on her face.

'This girl.'

Yin Zhong snorted in his heart, feeling a little dissatisfied.

How could he not hear that this girl wanted to get to the bottom of something with him?

To put it bluntly, we should still be wary of him and use our elbow to turn outward.

But facing the gazes of the crowd, especially Zhu Houzhao's curious eyes, he had already prepared himself mentally, and nodded without hesitation.

“Yes, I do have a grudge against the Tong family.

Your Majesty, in fact, I am from the Tong family." Yin Zhong said frankly.

Several people from the Yin family were surprised. If that was the case, their surname should be Tong.

The curiosity and interest in Zhu Houzhao's eyes became stronger, and he listened attentively.

“My real name is Tong Yinzhong. The Tong family is descended from the bloodline of ancient gods. We have always lived alone and rarely contacted outsiders.

On the surface, they appear to be kind, but in fact, their internal rules are already corrupt, old-fashioned and inflexible.

Because I secretly learned a martial art, they expelled me from the tribe.

This is nothing. I broke the clan rules. I admit it.

I left the Tong family with my young daughter who was only a few years old."

Yin Zhong's voice gradually became low, angry, and regretful.

“That year, my daughter was very hungry and we ate poisonous snake meat by mistake. I was fine, but Feng’er was dying.

I tried my best, but I could only protect Feng'er's last breath from escaping and freeze it.

The only way to save Feng'er is with the magic mirror.

I went to find the Tong family, but they rejected me.

What else can I say? I am already a traitor.

Moreover, bringing the dead back to life is something that is intolerable to heaven and earth, and the Tong family will not do it.

Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Yin Zhong said with hatred in his tone.

The Yin family members were all silent, their expressions moved.

They had never thought that their ancestors would do such a thing!

Yin Tianxue sighed inwardly, and his vigilance dropped a little.

I can also guess what will happen next.

Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong both felt the same way. They sighed inwardly and shared the same feeling.

In the realm of heaven and man, there are many things in life that are beyond our control.

"Of course I took it from his great grandfather." Zhu Houzhao's domineering voice sounded without hesitation.

These words did not surprise Yin Tianxue and others who were familiar with him.

Your Majesty is just like that.

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I will kill anyone who dares to stop me from saving my daughter." Yin Zhong's eyes lit up and he nodded heavily.

"I swore at that time that if I didn't have the surname Tong anymore, I would have the surname Yin.

When I was strong enough, I killed the Tong family and forced them to hand over the spirit mirror to me. But they still refused to give it to me and insisted on that broken rule.

He also invited a powerful man who had been friends with me for generations to deal with me, and I was injured by that man using a magic mirror.

It has been almost five hundred years.”

“Since that war, the Tong family has completely secluded themselves from the world and has no contact with outsiders.

Because of my injuries, I couldn't go looking for him in a big way.

I can only wait until now.

Five hundred years will pass, and the world will revolve around. The Tong family will definitely emerge, and they will be able to obtain the spiritual mirror by then."

At this point, Yin Zhong looked at Zhu Houzhao calmly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to find the magic mirror for you.

At that time, I only need to use the spirit mirror to do three things. "

"Which three things?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"The first thing is to find my daughter." Yin Zhong's tone was filled with unconcealed regret. Facing everyone's gaze, he gritted his teeth and said, "For the past five hundred years, I have kept my daughter frozen in an ice coffin in one place.

I would check on her regularly to keep her frozen and protect her last breath.

But just over ten years ago, when I went there again, I found that the ice coffin was gone.

I have been searching for a long time but have not found it.

Now we can only use the spirit mirror to find it."

"You are really miserable." Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little pitiful.

Although he felt that Yin Zhong was not a good person, he felt that these things were true.

Come to think of it, it’s really sad.

The others all had this idea, but except Zhu Houzhao, no one dared to express it.

But your Majesty's words are quite direct.

(The reason why Yin Feng was able to survive was probably because Yin Zhong had often used his internal energy to help her in the past five hundred years. This was the last time, but unexpectedly, a flood washed away the ice coffin, and her daughter was completely gone. It was so tragic and sad just to think about it.)
The corner of Yin Zhong's eyes twitched. If he couldn't defeat him, he really didn't want to endure it.

"Okay, there will be absolutely no problem with this matter. I will ask the factory guards to keep an eye out for similar ice coffins?" Zhu Houzhao said proudly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Zhong bowed solemnly.

"It's nothing, we are all family." Zhu Houzhao said generously.

"The second thing is to use the magic mirror to save my daughter." Yin Zhong continued.

"Of course no problem." Zhu Houzhao agreed without hesitation. He didn't believe in anything like resurrection or condemnation from heaven or earth.

If I believe him, he will only let the world tolerate me.

"The third thing is to treat my injuries." Yin Zhong said the third thing that everyone wanted.

Zhu Houzhao naturally nodded in agreement.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely present the magic mirror to Your Majesty." Yin Zhong was excited. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, he believed that no one could stop him.

“Yes.” Zhu Houzhao responded, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously: “But if the Tong family has not done anything evil, then they are the people of the Ming Dynasty within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

You can't hurt them at will, understand?"

"Your Majesty, the Tong family are all pedantic people who stick to the rules. They will not hand over the magic mirror." Yin Zhong said hurriedly.

"Isn't this easy? If they refuse to hand it over, then we can just snatch it away. Then I will send more experts and use our absolute strength to defeat them.

Isn't it enough to just snatch the spiritual mirror without harming their lives?" Zhu Houzhao said arrogantly.

"Yes, I understand." Yin Zhong thought for a moment and responded with a smile.

However, Zhang Sanfeng, Zheng Gong and Yin Tianxue were secretly frowning.

Although His Majesty is tyrannical and overbearing, he never covets other people's treasures.

This time, he had no scruples.

Could it be that he is really attracted by immortality?

This is not a good sign.

I really don’t know whether the appearance of Yin Zhong is a good thing or a bad thing.

But the three of them also knew that they could not stop it now and could only talk about it later.

“Your Majesty, we still need the factory guards to find the whereabouts of the Tong family.

I know the characteristics, habits and customs of the Tong family, and I will definitely be able to find someone from the Tong family." Yin Zhong said again.

"Okay, I'll let the factory guards cooperate with you.

But the factory guards are busy with important matters now and cannot go all out to look for him," said Zhu Houzhao.

"I understand." Yin Zhong replied, not disappointed.

With the current strength of the factory guards, as long as they try their best, they will reap rewards sooner or later.

Moreover, he didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao could resist the temptation of immortality. It wouldn't be long before Zhu Houzhao would be searching the world for the Tong family and the magic mirror.

Even though Zhu Houzhao is young now and doesn't care much, his subordinates will not miss out on this great achievement.

After discussing a series of things, Zhu Houzhao had lunch with the Yin family in a good mood.

Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, there was no dull moment as long as Zhu Houzhao was there.

After dinner, the Yin family left the palace.

On the way and until they returned to the mansion, Yin Hao and his son, as well as Yin Tianchou, were quite restrained.

After all, Yin Zhong is a celestial being and also their ancestor, and they had such a strange relationship before.

Have to be restrained.

"Well, there's no need to be so restrained, you are all my descendants.

There is no need to deliberately publicize my true identity." Yin Zhong said calmly in a good mood.

The three of them should be it.

Without staying in the mansion for long, Yin Zhong was led by a eunuch to try medical school.

In the palace on the other side.

Zhu Houzhao is meeting Yin Tianxue who has returned.

"Your Majesty, although I believe that Ancestor Yin is the ancestor of my Yin family, I still think that we have to be on guard against him." Yin Tianxue said directly.

"Don't you believe what he said?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

“I believe it, but it may be exaggerated. Moreover, the ancestor has lived for more than 500 years and is definitely not on the same page with my Ming Dynasty.

He is so frank at this time, probably because he wants to use Ming Dynasty to find the magic mirror.

We are still not sure whether the magic mirror can bring back the dead and make people immortal, so we cannot believe it completely.

He is obviously trying to seduce Your Majesty with the spirit mirror." Yin Tianxue said bluntly.

Just as Zhu Houzhao was about to say something, he looked outside the door and shouted, "Old man, come in if you are here."

Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong walked in together and bowed slightly to Zhu Houzhao.

Yin Tianxue also bowed to the two of them.

The two nodded, and Duke Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very understanding of justice, which is a blessing for our Ming Dynasty."

"Mr. Zheng, you are too kind." Yin Tianxue said respectfully.

"Old man, what do you want to say too?" Zhu Houzhao asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, I have discussed the matter of Yin Zhong with Master Zhang, and I think what he said is probably true.

But this person must be guarded against and cannot be trusted." Duke Zheng said solemnly.

"Why?" Zhu Houzhao frowned, seeming unhappy.

Lord Zheng then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the reason for this is that this old servant and Master Zhang believe that Yin Zhong has a very strong evil spirit and demonic energy in his heart.

Although he is suppressing it, it will be released one day, and that time may be the time when he becomes possessed by the devil."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it seriously, looked at the three people, and said seriously: "I understand what you said.

Yin Zhong is indeed not a good person. I can feel it and no one can hide it from me.

But he's not a truly evil villain.

Moreover, there are many people in the Ming Dynasty who are not good people.

Many of my wives are not good people, and several of my companions are not good people either.

But as long as it doesn't harm the people and doesn't violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then it's okay.

What's more, they are still devoting their strength to the Ming Dynasty."
