Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

Tang Lin walked to the wall and gently touched it with her hand.

Oh, no, it's not so much touching the wall as it is touching the traces of spiritual energy left on the wall. These traces are very faint, invisible and intangible, and only a person with Tang Lin's level of perception can detect their existence.

And with this touch, Tang Lin discovered the problem.

Her hand touched the traces of spiritual power on the wall, and the spiritual power at her fingertips... was sucked away.

"This is....."

Tang Lin's perception was still able to track. She could sense that her spiritual power seemed to be sucked to somewhere else, vague and illusory, and she didn't know where it was.

"What the hell is this..."

Tang Lin's expression became more and more serious, and he realized something at the same time.

Baili Qiankun is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

......

Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er walked for a long time in the maze of ice and snow within the Zaka Mountains, but found nothing. They couldn't even confirm whether the entrance to Su Qingqiu's tomb was inside the maze, let alone escape.

However, this maze was too large, and due to the interference of snow, fog and spiritual power, Su Luoxue couldn't even tell whether they were going in circles.

No matter who enters the maze, they will probably lose their way and become directionally challenged.

Fortunately, Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er later walked along the edge of the mountain. Although they did not find the exit or the entrance to the ancient tomb, they found a cave where they could go in to rest.

The weather here is too cold, and they have to constantly use their spiritual energy to resist the cold. Although this level of consumption is nothing for them, even if they have a lot of spiritual energy, they can't waste it like this. They still need to rest when they need to.

After the two of them entered the cave, Su Luoxue raised her hand, and the ink cores at her fingertips gathered to form two talismans.

One was thrown to the cave entrance, and the spiritual power on the talisman spread out, forming a barrier at the cave entrance, blocking all movements, including temperature and spiritual power fluctuations.

One talisman was thrown into the cave, and it burned on its own after it hit the ground, forming a fire, which gradually brought warmth and brightness to the cave.

It was just two random talismans, but Ji Wan'er could tell what Su Luoxue's technique was: "Wen Tian Lu?"

"Yes."

"Whose apprentice are you?"

The rule of Wen Tian Lu being passed down through a single lineage was no secret in the martial arts world, and Ji Wan'er naturally knew about it. Su Luoxue had no intention of hiding it, and spoke frankly, "My master is Pang Yuanchu."

"Master Pang! Are you his disciple?" Ji Wan'er was surprised. "Marshal Yinlong's daughter is Master Pang's disciple. Interesting, quite interesting."

Pang Laodao was Pang Yuanchu's nickname within the Great Zhou. Anyone who was rude to him or meant to insult him called him that. Even Ji Taibai had called him that several times. Ji Wan'er was Ji Taibai's sister, so naturally, she followed suit.

"Let's rest first."

Su Luoxue didn't care about these things. She walked in and observed the cave first. After not finding any secrets and confirming that there were no other problems, she sat by the fire to keep warm and recover her consumed spiritual power.

Thanks to both of you for your tips and monthly tickets. From today on, I will officially enter the explosive update phase, with about three updates a day. Today, because of the tips and monthly tickets, I will have five updates!

In addition, due to the rewards and monthly tickets, today's fifth update will include a spoiler color insert, which is a spoiler character design for Su Luoxue. [Someone guessed Su Luoxue's plot in the previous post, so I'm posting the spoiler character design.]

4.68 The Emperor's Little Aunt is Awesome

Su Luoxue sat next to the fire created by the talisman, put the luggage bag on her back in front of her, took out some dry food from it, and ate it in small bites to replenish her physical strength. At the same time, she was also practicing internal Qigong and regulating her breathing to recover her spiritual power as soon as possible.

Su Luoxue did not consume much spiritual power and had no internal or external injuries. Although the spiritual power here was disordered, it was extremely abundant. It was not difficult to recover, and it could basically be done after dinner.

However, the piercing gaze of Ji Wan'er, who was sitting opposite her, made Su Luoxue feel very uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at?"

After being stared at for a long time, Su Luoxue finally asked.

"Oh, nothing." Ji Wan'er shook her head, her tone quite calm. "I was just surprised and moved. I didn't expect that the taciturn Silver Dragon Marshal actually had a daughter, and his daughter is actually the disciple of Pang Yuanchu, that cunning and experienced one."

"The descendants of the Qingqiu Su family are descendants of the Wentian lineage. It sounds quite interesting."

As she spoke, Ji Wan'er hugged her knees and looked up at the high rock wall, sighing, "I've been away for too long. This Great Zhou has changed..."

"..."

Su Luoxue didn't say anything, but she could understand Ji Wan'er's feelings.

It is not difficult to understand if you put yourself in their shoes. Suppose Su Luoxue left the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and when she came back, her father, sister, master, and even Ji Xian were gone. Although the Great Zhou was still the same Great Zhou, and she could still meet many familiar people, but that Great Zhou... could it still be the Great Zhou in her mind?

Su Luoxue was unwilling to make this assumption, nor did she want to leave Da Zhou and leave those familiar people.

The same is true for Ji Wan'er. So many people are gone, but she can still cheer up and continue to serve the Great Zhou. It is really not easy.

Ji Wan'er didn't seem to be immersed in it any further. She quickly took something out of her luggage bag, which was a book.

Then, she leaned against the rock wall of the cave, picked up the book and began to read. Her pretty face looked very beautiful in the light of the fire, and her golden eyes also shone like gold.

Compared to Su Luoxue, Ji Wan'er didn't seem to need to replenish her spiritual power. Su Luoxue could feel that the spiritual power in her body was still abundant, as if it was always in its prime and had never been consumed.

Su Luoxue was not surprised. After all, she had the Nine Heavens Ink Core in her body, and she knew exactly the characteristics of this original power.

But Ji Wan'er is also a human being. At this moment, she was reading a book with one hand and reaching out to Su Luoxue with the other hand: "Give me some dry food too. I'm hungry."

Su Luoxue gave the dried meat in the luggage bag to Ji Wan'er, and Ji Wan'er ate while reading a book.

Su Luoxue had already finished eating and her spiritual power had almost recovered. She then began to rummage through her luggage bag and took out a pen and paper. She then took the pen and began to draw on the paper.

Ji Wan'er glanced at Su Luoxue and saw what she was drawing. The lines were messy and it was hard to tell what she was drawing. If she had to say it, Ji Wan'er felt like she was just scribbling.

"What are you doing?" Ji Wan'er asked.

“Draw the line.”

"You can tell, what kind of lines are all this mess?"

"The route we took after entering the valley."

"what?"

Ji Wan'er then put down the book, stood up and walked over to Su Luoxue to take a closer look. After staring at her for a while, Ji Wan'er discovered that Su Luoxue's lines were not randomly drawn, but were moving in a regular pattern.

The drawing shows the route, where to turn after entering the valley, where not to go, how far to walk in each place, etc. Su Luoxue was using a pen to simulate it, as if she wanted to draw a map like this.

Ji Wan'er kept staring at it. Although her brain was not as smart as Su Luoxue's, she was also a smart person and she quickly saw through these things.

After drawing for a long time, Su Luoxue took out another piece of paper and started drawing again. This time, the drawing was no longer something that looked messy, but a serious map, drawn on the spot!

The map was quickly drawn, but more than half of the places were missing, which meant they had not been to these places yet.

"Well, it's almost done." Su Luoxue looked at Ji Wan'er while holding the map she had drawn. "Let's rest for a while, then go to the places we haven't been to yet."

"..." This time it was finally Ji Wan'er's turn to remain silent. After a long silence, she asked, "Who is your mother?"

"Huh?" Su Luoxue was a little confused by this question.

"Who is your mother?" Ji Wan'er repeated.

"Princess Ye Ning of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Su Luoxue didn't know why Ji Wan'er asked this, but she still answered Ji Wan'er first.

"Princess, is she very clever?"

"It's okay, what's wrong?"

"I'm just a little curious. You're much smarter than Silver Dragon Shuai."

"......"

They said they would set off after resting for a while, but in fact, the two of them set off immediately without waiting for a moment. After all, Dieying's people and Silver Dragon Marshal had already entered the Zaka Mountains. Who knew when they would find Su Qingqiu's tomb or find themselves? The sooner they found the entrance to the ancient tomb or found Silver Dragon Marshal, the better.

Su Luoxue took the map she had drawn and took Ji Wan'er to the places they hadn't been to yet. After they had been there, they drew the route map of that place on a rough draft, and then drew the complete planned route on a formal map, constantly improving the map.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, and I don't know whether to say it's lucky or unlucky.

After walking about 70% of the vast valley, Su Luoxue felt that the map was a bit strange and had a guess in her mind. After Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er had walked almost the entire valley, Su Luoxue looked at the map in her hand and confirmed her guess.

Gossip!

This huge valley maze in the Zaka Mountains is actually a pre-heavenly Bagua map!

This maze is not only formed naturally, but also an enormous Bagua formation built in the valley based on the local environment and climate.

This is the innate Bagua formation that combines the topography, climate, natural spiritual power, and formation.

And there is only one person who set up this formation!

Tianji Pavilion, Lord Jiang Shang!

"Is this the Xiantian Bagua formation constructed by the laws of nature..." Su Luoxue muttered, her eyes fixed on the map in her hand, and she had already begun to study the formation: "Constructed by the laws of nature, the wind and snow here..."

As she spoke, Su Luoxue looked around, taking in the wind and snow of heaven and earth. Then, she looked at the map and said, "If the formation is arranged according to natural methods, then is the entrance and exit of the ancient tomb also arranged in the same way?"

"If it's opened by means of a formation, or... is there more than one entrance?"

Su Luoxue had some guesses in her mind.

She acted decisively.

Su Luoxue first raised her hand on the spot, and a ball of spiritual power appeared in her hand. Then this ball of spiritual power quickly split into many different spiritual power elements, turning into small light balls of different colors, circling around the palm of Su Luoxue's hand.

The trajectory of this movement is like the stars revolving around the sun.

But in fact, this is a simple compass created by Su Luoxue using spiritual power.

The spiritual light ball in Su Luoxue's palm is actually the power of origin.

The power of origin originates from nature. The innate Bagua formation in the Zaka Mountains was constructed according to the laws of nature. Su Luoxue now wanted to resonate with nature and then simulate a compass to deduce the operation of the Bagua formation.

"Qian on top, Kun on bottom, Li two, Ji thirteen, Bingwu, Dingwei..."

Su Luoxue studied under Pang Yuanchu and also learned a lot from her uncle Kong Mingliang, so she naturally became proficient in the Bagua method.

Right now, she has begun to break the formation!

4.69 The Emperor's Enemies Enter the Tomb [with Color Insert]

Su Luoxue was recognized as a peerless genius since she was a child. Before she entered Chang'an at the age of ten, she was always brought up by Pang Yuanchu and Su Luohua. She was also very diligent and studious. She had finished learning the entire Wen Tianlu before she was ten years old, and also learned many other skills to improve herself. At that time, she was already a rare top master in the world.

Later, she went to Chang'an to accompany Ji Xian's growth. Kong Mingliang began to teach her Taoism, strategy, tactics, the laws of heaven and earth, the way of being a human being, etc., and Di Qingtian, as the prime minister, also taught Su Luoxue a lot about state affairs.

On the day Ji Xian ascended the throne, Su Luoxue was also appointed as the chief minister of the Great Zhou.

Su Luoxue is proficient in all kinds of magic in the world!

Su Luoxue had read almost all of the thousands of Taoist scriptures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Everyone in the Great Zhou, whether from the older or younger generations, praised Su Luoxue as exceptional, almost demonically outstanding. They all believed her future achievements would be no less impressive than her father, Yin Longshuai, and some even believed she could reach the level of Ji Taibai.

In the Zhaka Mountains, Lord Jiang Shang, taking advantage of the region's topography and climate, laid out a natural, innate Bagua formation. Anyone who entered, regardless of their level of cultivation, would be trapped, lost, and their spiritual energy gradually drained by the endless cold wind.

The entrance to Su Qingqiu's tomb will also constantly adjust its position according to climate changes. Even if a powerful master can destroy the entire valley, it would be a dream to find the entrance!

Even if such a formation cannot trap Yang Shen to death, it would be extremely difficult to break the formation and find the entrance.

Even for a powerful Yangshen who is proficient in the natural laws of the Eight Trigrams, it would be impossible to do it without several days or even dozens of days. Even several months would not be considered strange.

But in less than half a day, Su Luoxue had already figured out the principles of this formation, drawn a map of the formation, and... had already begun to break the formation!

However, there was someone who broke the formation faster than Su Luoxue, and the moment he arrived at the Zaka Mountains, he had already entered Su Qingqiu's tomb.

......

Su Qingqiu's tomb is actually located underground in the Zhaka Mountains. There are several entrances, but the activation and changes of the entrances will be based on the climate changes in the mountains.

The entrance to Su Qingqiu's tomb is now somewhere in the Zaka Mountains, buried by heavy snow. Under the snow is an extremely huge bronze door built on the ground.

However, not only was the bronze door not opened, no one even dug away the snow on top of it.

But... there is someone in this tomb!

Su Qingqiu's tomb was built for her by Jiang Shanggong. Although she was guilty of heinous crimes and deserved death, she was still the most powerful Yang God in the world at that time. And before Zhang Ziliang and Ji Taibai were born, she was undeniably invincible.

It was precisely because of her astonishing cultivation that Lord Jiang Shang finally gave her some respect and built a tomb for her after killing her.

However, it is naturally impossible for any treasures or magic weapons to be left in this tomb, nor are there any complicated mechanisms or traps. Apart from the innate Bagua formation on the ground, one can directly reach the main tomb hall after entering the ancient tomb.

The main tomb hall was filled with cold air and a thick layer of ice was everywhere.

The ceiling of the main tomb hall is inlaid with many spirit crystals, which are always shining under the influence of the spiritual energy of this place, as bright as stars, as if you are in the starry sky. Therefore, this tomb hall is not dark and can be seen clearly without lighting.

At the deepest part of the main tomb hall, there is a five-meter-high platform with a blue bed on it.
