Saint Qin Batu

Chapter 371 The Key
The streets of Xianyang are only a little cold at night, and there are always crowds of people during the day.

And after the news of the Eastern Tour came out, there were many more busy sergeants.The already bustling street was even more crowded with people.

However, the originally bustling street was full of soldiers because of the arrival of Donghuang Taiyi.

The people all over the street were squeezed to the sides, opening the way for Donghuang Taiyi.

Facing Donghuang Taiyi's massive plastic surgery, the people all over the street were also full of envy.He is also full of awe for this national teacher who rarely appears.

"Your Majesty, the National Teacher has arrived." In the central hall, Zhao Gao bowed his waist and reported respectfully to Ying Zheng.

"Biography!" Ying Zheng put down the brush in his hand and stared solemnly at the entrance of the hall.There was also a trace of vigilance in his tone.

Donghuang Taiyi, as early as decades ago, was already a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm.Even, compared to Ying Zheng's teacher, Ji Hao, he was somewhat stronger.

Facing such a master, even if Ying Zheng was already at the Nascent Soul Realm, there was no room for sloppyness.

"Here!"

Zhao Gao bowed his waist and exited the hall again.

The scorching sun was shining brightly, but there was a sense of coolness in the central hall.

A tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Step, step..."

The sound of steady footsteps was particularly piercing in the hall where needles could be heard.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Donghuang Taiyi stood still, under the cold mask, his voice was still so flat, as if everything was under his control.

"National Teacher, the trip to Shushan was hard work."

Ying Zheng was still sitting on the cushion, looking at Donghuang Taiyi below.

"I also need to thank His Majesty's Iron Eagle, otherwise, the rebels in Shushan will definitely escape."

Donghuang Taiyi seemed to be a minister of Yingzheng, with a hint of humility in his tone.It made Yingzheng's previous accusations useless.

"Go down." Ying Zheng stood up, waved to the two eunuchs standing at His Royal Highness and said.

"Here."

The eunuch bent over and walked backwards towards the outside of the hall.Before leaving the hall, don't forget to close the door of the hall.

Walking in the central hall, these eunuchs already had deep eyesight.It is also very clear that Ying Zheng may be going to talk about some secret things with the Master of the National Teacher next.

After the two eunuchs left, Ying Zheng continued: "I'm just curious. A mere Shu Mountain can't be named or won. It's located in the back warehouse of the empire, and it can't pose the slightest threat to the empire. The national teacher, what is it? What made them betray the empire?"

"People's hearts are unpredictable, and carrying heavy treasures is a serious crime..."

Although it is obviously a bandit-like logic, it is full of sense of justice when it comes from Donghuang Taiyi's mouth.

Yingzheng naturally understands the truth that everyone is innocent and pregnant with guilt.As for Shushan, although it has a long history, Yingzheng still doesn't like it.

Even if he knew that there might be a future "protagonist" in Shu Mountain, Ying Zheng didn't take it to heart.

Naturally, Ying Zheng wasn't regretting the fate of Mount Shu. What really caught his attention was the hibiscus tree.

"It is indeed a great crime for Shushan to cherish the great treasure of the empire. However, I don't know what the use of this so-called great treasure is. Whether this hibiscus tree can really attract the three-legged golden crow..."

At some point, Ying Zheng's hand was already firmly grasping the Tianwen Sword at his waist.The gently swaying bead curtain made Ying Zheng look full of evil spirits.

Donghuang Taiyi under the main hall, this time, did not answer Ying Zheng's question straightforwardly like before.

After a moment of silence, he said just now: "The sacred hibiscus tree is said to be the key to the three worlds. With this sacred hibiscus tree, you can open the gate of the underworld..."

"Is there really an underworld in this world?" Ying Zheng's cold voice interrupted Donghuang Taiyi again, "I want the truth."

"It's the key." Donghuang Taiyi said bluntly this time.

"Where is the key!"

"East, the key to the Far East..."

In the hall, Xiang fell into silence again.Ying Zheng squinted his eyes, trying to see the loopholes in Donghuang Taiyi's words.

However, that cold mask made everything empty talk.

"The land of the extreme east, where the fairyland is. Presumably, Your Majesty, you must have heard Mr. Ji mention it." Donghuang Taiyi didn't mean to hide it, and continued: "The hibiscus tree is the key to that fairyland."

In Yingzheng's mind, the appearance of the overseas monk from ten years ago flashed across.Looking at Donghuang Taiyi's eyes, he also softened a little.

Although I don't know how much the Eastern Emperor Taiyi has concealed from him, at least the Fusang Shenmu is the key to the overseas fairy mountains, and Ying Zheng believes it.

"Since there are monks like His Majesty and me on the Chinese Divine Land, it is impossible for this inheritance to appear out of thin air..."

"So, His Excellency Donghuang's purpose is to continue the empire and march towards the three overseas fairy mountains?" Ying Zheng interrupted Donghuang Taiyi again.

This time, the title of national teacher was not used, and it was also superficial. At this moment, Ying Zheng had placed Donghuang Taiyi above the Yinyang family, not the empire.

"Everyone in the world fantasizes about longevity, and we monks take this as our lifelong goal. Isn't that true, Your Majesty?" Facing Yingzheng's hostility, Donghuang Taiyi asked rhetorically.

"I..." Ying Zheng frowned, but nodded slightly, "Naturally, I also want to live forever! Therefore, I hope that Your Excellency Donghuang can hand over everything related to the overseas fairy mountains."

Lao Tzu's handwriting, after nearly a thousand years have passed, has become the only witness of the monks at the end of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.If you want to go to the Overseas Fairy Mountains, without Lao Tzu's handwriting, your eyes will be blackened.

Donghuang Taiyi didn't speak, but moved his hands slightly under the huge black robe.

"Shh!"

Without any sign, the originally bright hall suddenly lost its brilliance and fell into darkness.Donghuang Taiyi also disappeared.

"Since Your Majesty wants to obtain the secrets of overseas wonderlands, Tai Yi dare not refuse. However, just like Shushan, without strength, Your Majesty will be in vain to obtain it."

Donghuang Taiyi's voice sounded in the quiet space.As Donghuang Taiyi's voice fell, the originally pitch-black space suddenly lit up.

And what illuminates all of this is the vast galaxy above the space.

"The national teacher's words are reasonable. If this is the case, then I will have a good fight with the national teacher!"
