You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 171 Secret History
Zuo Chen took out four talismans, with the words "Qian", "Li", "Kun" and "Kan" written on them respectively. He pasted them on the four sides of the hall and then used his fingers to outline some simple runes on the ground.

After doing all this, straighten the index and middle fingers of your left hand and clasp your right hand.

"The universe takes the Dharma, and the four phases return to one mind."

The words on the talismans pasted on the ground lit up brightly, and in the blink of an eye they floated into the air, shining brightly.

Liu Quande, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt a breeze blowing all around him, and discovered that a ray of true Qi gathered in the center of the formation.

This strand of true Qi was very weak and almost unusable for cultivation, but it floated along the guidance of the talisman and entered the golden sphere.

The light above the golden sphere also stabilized.

Just like when Liu Quande was supplying true Qi.

"Master, what is this formation?" Liu Quande looked around, with strong curiosity in his eyes.

He even wanted to reach out and touch the magic circle, but was afraid of damaging it, so he finally withdrew his hand.

"The art of gathering spirits takes the four directions of heaven and earth and allows them to tirelessly generate innate spirit energy for maintenance."

Zuo Chen explained with a smile.

He had used this method when he turned beans into soldiers. Now it is still running in the bodies of the two golden bean generals, maintaining their existence.

This technique is not difficult and is the basis for opening an altar. Its only advantage is that it lasts for a long time.

The amount of innate true Qi required for the golden sphere is not large, and it is more than enough to maintain it with such a magic array.

"If you want to cut off the connection in the future, just uncover this talisman and the spirit gathering array will naturally stop working."

After listening to Zuo Chen's explanation, Liu Quande tried it twice himself and found that it was exactly as Zuo Chen said.

"Master! You have really helped me a lot!" Liu Quande was delighted. "If you hadn't come, I would have been unable to sleep well for three or four days. This big golden ball is crying for food every night like a newborn baby. If you don't give it some true Qi, it will really turn off the Yaoguang Yingyue and let this thick fog spread in, causing trouble for the monsters."

"Just a little trick." Zuo Chen waved his hand: "This formation is not difficult, it should just not be recorded in the Tiangongtu."

It is indeed not difficult, but whether you are willing to share it is another matter.

Liu Quande had been in the human world for so many years, so he naturally understood these principles, and he thanked Zuo Chen profusely.

After freeing himself from the golden ball, Liu Quande studied the spirit gathering array on the ground and found that it was indeed very simple. He didn't even need to deliberately learn it. He only needed to stare at it for half an incense stick of time to learn it.

Liu Quande was also in a good mood and very happy. He asked King Wei to quickly prepare some good wine and food for him to satisfy his craving, and King Wei agreed with a smile.

Everyone returned to the mansion, and the servants arranged rooms for them to live in and rest.

Prince Wei's Palace is not prosperous enough, but it is big enough. There is more land in the north and there are not many residents nearby, so Prince Wei's Palace was built along the border of Yaoguang Yingyue and is very long.

After running around for a long time, except for Zuo Chen, everyone else could hardly hide their fatigue and really planned to have a good rest for a day.

Hu Wen went to his residence. Hu Ni grabbed his collar and wouldn't let him let her go. Hu Wen had no choice but to take Hu Ni with him.

Caiyi was given a small courtyard with a very large bed and a stone bathtub where she could take a bath and rest.

Even the donkey had a special house and a maid to comb his hair.

As for Zuo Chen, he did not go to any separate compartment.

There was a wooden table in the hall of Prince Wei's mansion, and Li Ji poured a cup of tea for Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen took the teacup, shook it slightly in his hand, and the temperature immediately became moderate.

I took a sip and it was slightly bitter, as if it had been stored for a while.

"Sir, I asked you to come here this time mainly because I have something I want to entrust you with."

"please say."

"The Yaoguang Yingyue technique has blocked the fog outside, but it is not a solution if the fog does not dissipate. This dream will continue to spread outward until it engulfs the entire Youzhou. In this case, I really have no other choice. My ordinary soldiers will fall asleep as soon as they enter the fog. Even Old Liu can't stay in this fog for too long."

"You want me to go into the fog and cut off the source?"

"Yes. I'm afraid that only you can accomplish this task nowadays."

"I was planning to go north to see what the Far North Sea of ​​Bitterness looks like, and get rid of the disaster without much effort." "Thank you very much, sir."

Zuo Chen turned the teacup in his hand and suddenly said:
"Actually, I have a few questions for Your Excellency King Wei."

"Sir, you are too polite. Please tell me everything I know and can tell you."

Zuo Chen sorted out his words and asked:

"Does King Wei know what happened in Kyoto? What happened in Kyoto?"

After hearing Zuo Chen's question, King Wei was silent for a while before saying:
"More than fifty people have died in the capital. I was young at the time, and the cover-up of this matter was serious in the capital, so I really know very little about what happened in the capital."

"What a pity." Zuo Chen sighed.

"However... there are many doubts about the death of the capital master. I did investigate it for a while before and got a lot of secret history."

Li Ji suddenly made a turn.

Zuo Chen glanced at him.

Li Ji laughed dryly twice before continuing:
"My grandfather came to the Daliang Dynasty at the end of his reign. As soon as he entered the court, he demonstrated many magical skills. He stretched out his hands to pick stars, lit up the sunset, and could save people and govern the country. And... he was very strong.

"The soldiers couldn't beat him, the generals couldn't beat him, the imperial guards couldn't beat him, and even the guards who were specially assigned to protect the emperor couldn't beat him.

"At that time, the capital didn't even need weapons. He held a bottle of wine in his left hand and used his bare fist in his right hand. He didn't use any magical methods or secret techniques. He just used his fists to beat the celebrities up to the sky one by one.

“The old man liked him very much, and the two of them had a great time talking and drinking. Three days later, the new Taoist priest became the capital of Kyoto, assisting the country, and his power was almost as great as that of the left and right prime ministers.

"But the old man was not an immortal after all. After more than ten years, the old man passed away. It was at this time that my father took the throne.

"My father relied a lot on the capital when he was young. The capital was indeed like a teacher, helping my father all the way. He worked in the capital for many years. He did a lot of good things and became a well-known and capable person in Daliang."

Having said that, Li Ji poured another cup of tea for himself and Zuo Chencheng.

He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp. At this moment, Li Jicai sighed a little depressed:
“But then things started to go wrong.

“I don’t know what my father was thinking or what went wrong with him. Maybe he felt that the power of the capital was too great and had threatened his position. Or maybe he felt that the power of the capital was too strong and he was not at ease with him following him around every day. So he teamed up with the major families in the capital to perform a ritual to harm the capital!
“I was born not long ago when that fight started, and I don’t remember exactly what happened. But I know that just to fight off one person from Jingshi, almost all of the elite forces in Jingdu were used up, and they haven’t recovered to this day.

"According to the documents I have investigated, Jingshi was killed because he wanted to usurp the throne. But is this really the case? According to Jingshi's ability, if he really wanted to secretly usurp the throne of Daliang, he only needed to do it in court and kill those who resisted him one by one. How could he give them the opportunity to gather together and perform rituals?"

Something is indeed wrong.

If Zuo Chen had greed for power in the world, he would have thousands of ways to easily destroy a human dynasty, or easily put it under his control.

According to current reports, Jingshi's cultivation level was probably not much different from that of Master Lin Xi. It was really strange that he was killed in this way.

“After the killing of Jingshi, the throne of Daliang seemed to be cursed. When I was a child, I only remembered that my father would occasionally go crazy. When he was dying in his later years, he lay on the bed wailing, as if poisonous insects were crawling all over his body, tearing his heart and lungs, and eating his flesh and blood.

"This incident was recorded by the historians as the capital's sorrow. They said the capital was in decline and they were angry that Daliang did not remember their kindness. So they used the secret method of black magic to cut off the dragon vein."

After saying that, Li Ji fell into silence for a long time and drank three or four cups of tea, as if he was adjusting his mood.

Zuo Chen was not in a hurry and just stayed beside him.

"Sir, do you know about the ghost disaster in Kyoto twenty years ago?" Li Ji asked.

"I heard Ning Wei say that there was a war more than 20 years ago. This is the first time I have heard of such a ghost disaster." Zuo Chen said.

"These two are the same thing." Li Ji said: "Whether the Capital's Sorrow is true or not, it has indeed ruined the atmosphere of the entire imperial capital. When I was a child, I didn't want to stay in the palace. I always felt very depressed, as if something was staring at me.

"The previous emperor was my brother Li Zhao, a capable man who stood out from the crowd when he was young. Everyone thought he was the most suitable person to be the emperor, and I thought so too.

"Later, he really became the emperor, and I came to the north and became the King of Zhenbei.

"After that, there was the Kyoto ghost disaster twenty years ago."

Li Ji kept tapping his fingers on the table, sorting out his memories:
"Thirty years ago, Li Zhao and I exchanged letters frequently. We were both young at that time. Both he and I had just taken office and were full of enthusiasm, hoping to make Daliang go further and higher.

"Twenty-five years ago, I had very few correspondences with him. When I occasionally went back to Kyoto to see him, I found that he was taciturn and in a daze from time to time. I asked him what happened, but he didn't answer. He just warned me not to come to Kyoto in the future and asked me to guard the north. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking that he was too busy and under too much pressure.

"Twenty years ago... he went crazy. His imperial guards went crazy with him. They turned into evil spirits and killed people all over Daliang from Kyoto."
