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

Chapter 282: Diving Underground Tonight

Zuo Chenshang couldn't read minds, and he didn't want to drag things out, so he used a covert warning and asked the little emperor:
"There is indeed something wrong with your body. If you know anything, just tell me directly."

His voice was directed only at the little emperor. Others thought it was just an ordinary question and did not take it seriously.

There was a trace of confusion in Li Rongxuan's eyes, and he spoke almost subconsciously:

"Ah? I don't remember."

I don’t remember…

It seems that he really doesn't know the condition of his body.

Zuo Chen nodded and stopped talking.

No one knew what he wanted to do, except Caiyi, who looked at Zuo Chen twice, her eyes widened as if she had figured out something.

Seeing that there was nothing more to talk about, Li Rongxuan spoke enthusiastically:

"Uncle, Taoist priest, please stay in the palace for the time being. I will consider the matter you mentioned before."

"No need." Li Ji said, "We can just find a place to stay in the city and not disturb Your Majesty."

After saying this, he stood up, bowed and left, leaving only the emperor and the other three in the room.

Only after the door was closed and everyone was sure to leave did the old eunuch finally speak, his face grim:

"So disrespectful! So disrespectful! Li Jihe, the Taoist priest, actually wants to overthrow the imperial power of Daliang. So disrespectful!"

He was so angry that he didn't know what to do. It was the typical example that the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch

"Eunuch Bao, why are you so angry? What my uncle said makes sense. If there is really a world-destroying catastrophe outside, I would rather not have the throne."

Li Rongxian laughed.

"Your Majesty, you can't say that! You are the Son of Heaven, and the people of the world should be governed by you. Your throne is a gift from heaven, and the entire Daliang is your territory, the territory of the Li family."

At this point, the old eunuch seemed to have no idea how to continue, and only added one last sentence:
"Besides, what King Wei said may not be true."

"Yes." Li Rongxuan stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, stuck his head out, and looked to the north: "My uncle's words may not be true. We have to look at the situation first."

……

Back on the carriage and slowly driving away from the palace, Li Ji looked back at the imperial study that was going away.

Caiyi had just listened to the whole thing and couldn't help but ask:

"King Wei, will your nephew agree?"

"I think it's difficult." Li Ji said: "If he is really just a puppet emperor, he will most likely agree. But this kid is more ambitious than I expected. He wants to make a name for himself in this complicated Kyoto. The more such a person is, the less likely he is to give up what he has worked so hard to get. What's more, he is only fourteen years old."

"I see." Caiyi thought about it, as if she were in the position of the little emperor. She probably wouldn't be willing to be replaced.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chen said, "This may be more complicated than you think."

"Hmm?" Li Ji was stunned: "Master, could it be that you have seen something from my nephew?"

"…I'm afraid your nephew is not alive."

"what?"

Li Ji was stunned.

Zuo Chen briefly told him about Li Rongxuan's current situation, and Li Ji was bewildered:
"Is this a walking corpse? Or a half-dead person?"

"The former is more likely." Zuo Chen said.

Come to think of it, she was quite similar to the woman who attacked them two days ago.

It’s just that this little emperor is more smart and looks less abnormal.

Or, the manipulator behind the scenes is a great performer and an incredible acting talent.

Or, the person he met today was the little emperor himself, who just used some unconventional means to prolong his life and he didn't even realize it.

"Has anything strange happened to the little emperor?"

Hearing Zuo Chen's question, Li Ji began to recall seriously.

After thinking for a few breaths, he said uncertainly:

"When my nephew was young, he fell seriously ill and had a high fever for three days. At that time, his father took him to the underground ancestral hall, where he stayed for a day and a night, asking for protection from the ancestors. When he came out, he had recovered."

This appears to be the source.

Seeing Zuo Chen thinking, Li Ji did not disturb him. The car was quiet until they left the palace and returned to the street. Then Li Ji asked:
"Does the Taoist have any arrangements?"

"Let's find a place to rest today. Tomorrow I will go to the library to see the dojo run by my disciple." Zuo Chen said, "Cockroaches have entered my disciple's dojo. As a master, shouldn't I clean it up properly?"

When Li Ji heard this, he knew that those people in the library would probably be in big trouble tomorrow.

The residence for the few people was found by the imperial guards. It was a luxurious restaurant called Yaochi Tower. Several large rooms were connected together. The living room on the first floor was where people drank and prepared meals. The second floor and above were the residences. The higher you went in the building, the more luxurious it became.

Yaochi Tower was owned by a wealthy family in Kyoto. Even the noble sons of the aristocratic families would only book a room in the upper room when they came to stay here. The owner of this store would not let anyone in more than one room. But today was different.

This time the Emperor was entertaining King Wei, and the entire Yao Chi Tower began to clear out after receiving the letter. No matter if you were a high-ranking official or a wealthy family member, they would all say "sorry" to you, return double the accommodation fee, and then drive you out of the building, leaving you to find a new place to stay by yourself.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many young masters, and they gathered at the entrance of Yaochi Tower to protest, hoping that the boss would come out and give them a response.

But they were not waiting for the boss, but for the imperial guards.

Seeing the imperial guards in full armor surrounding the Yao Chi Tower in three layers inside and outside, even this group of spoiled young masters knew that an important guest had come to the Yao Chi Tower!

But you can’t keep on getting entangled in it. If you continue, you might lose your head!
Most of them left in disgrace, leaving only a few brave ones who squatted under the willow trees beside the building, wanting to see who was the big shot who could book the entire building.

When they saw King Wei arriving and staying in the restaurant, the people squatting on the treetops felt their curiosity was satisfied. They got something to talk about tonight and left with satisfaction.

As soon as we entered the restaurant, two rows of girls in light gauze came forward and stood on both sides to welcome us.

After choosing the room, the girls immediately led the group upstairs.

The best top room was naturally reserved for Li Ji, and the rest of the people were also arranged in high-quality rooms.

Among them, Zhu Laoba and his friends were easy to deal with, but Jin Feng Yu Yue was really difficult for Yao Chi Tower - it was somewhat risky to let two children live together. In the end, Zuo Chen ensured that the two kids were obedient and arranged their rooms next to his own house before he could prepare the guest rooms.

When Zuo Chen was about to enter the room, he even found that two beautiful girls wanted to follow him in. He couldn't help laughing, just waved his hand and said it was not necessary, and sent the two girls away.

Caiyi was even more embarrassed. She pointed at the girls and then at herself, almost saying "Are you sure you want to come into my room?"
Finally, he chased away the accompanying girls. When he was about to enter the room, Caiyi suddenly ran to Zuo Chen with a grin:
"Master, are you going to do something tonight?"

Zuo Chen looked at her, smiled and tapped Caiyi's forehead: "Go to sleep well."

"Oh." Caiyi seemed to have received a satisfactory answer and left with a smile.

Zuo Chen shook his head helplessly and entered the room.

This restaurant is indeed luxurious, and the entire house is filled with countless rare treasures. However, for Zuo Chen, most of these things have gone beyond the scope of practicality and comfort, and have become value-added products that meaninglessly increase his own worth.

Good is indeed good.

But it's not necessary.

Zuo Chen actually didn’t plan to rest tonight, as he still had something important to do.

That is to go underground.

He did not tell Li Ji about this. After all, Zuo Chen was planning to look for clues in other people's ancestral tombs, and it would be a bit inappropriate to tell Li Ji about it, so he simply took action on his own to avoid any more trouble.

After putting away the luggage, Zuo Chen opened the window, climbed the stairs outside under the moonlight, and in the blink of an eye he was floating in the air, overlooking the entire city of Kyoto.

Majestic and huge, this city-state is as big as half of the ocean, and the towering buildings of varying heights are like waves, drifting with the flow.

The Imperial Palace in the center of the city is a square city within a city, like a big square seal, located in the middle of Kyoto.

Looking around the entire Kyoto, his eyes passed through the chaotic and turbid air and finally fell on a place near the imperial palace.

He flew over and found that it was a small forest behind the imperial palace. However, after looking around, he did not find any passage to go down, so he simply floated down to the ground.

Looking at the soil under his feet, Zuo Chen touched his chin and began to think.

Of the Five Elements Escape Technique, he could only avoid water. If he wanted to enter the soil, he had to master the Earth Element.

How should this earth element be used?

As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered the turbid liquid in his dantian.

This thing can transform the forms of all things. That is to say, by wrapping this layer of liquid around your body, you can first transform the soil into water, then use the water avoidance technique to avoid it, and finally transform the water into soil.

Well, I feel that this should be completely different from the principle of Earth Escape Technique.

But it doesn't matter,
It's the power to fly bricks!

The art of flying in the clouds and riding on mist is all done with the use of water vapor. Isn’t the same true for earth-walking techniques?

Whatever he thought, his thoughts followed. Zuo Chen jumped directly on the spot and fell into the ground with a whoosh.

Just as he thought, the car was moving through the dirt as if there was nothing on it, and there was not even a single obstacle.

After moving forward for a while, Zuo Chen soon felt that there seemed to be a small hard object in front of him.

Then he didn't brake in time and went straight through.

By the time he reacted, he had already appeared in mid-air, so he immediately stopped the "Earth Walking Technique" and landed steadily on the ground.

It was pitch black all around, and Zuo Chen's eyes shone brightly. The surrounding scenery also appeared clearly in his eyes.

This is an underground mausoleum.

great.
