Chapter 26 Something happened at home
"So, how far are you from that mountain?" asked the old eunuch in python robe.
Zhao Duan hesitated and said:
"It's probably within a few miles, I can't estimate it."
The real situation was truly shocking. To be cautious, he decided to play it safe.
"Within a few miles..." Eunuch Hai was slightly surprised and praised:
"It's very good. This is already a middle-class asset."
This is all good...Zhao Duan felt that he had gone too far.
"Okay, get up. After the first visualization, "Martial God Picture" has been imprinted in your heart. Then you can enter it again with the help of your memories. When you enter the divine chapter realm, you can enter it again. On the second floor, watch the second mural." Eunuch Hai said.
Zhao Duan stood up. Xu Shi just broke through and felt endless strength all over his body. He said curiously:
"So, the five-story pavilion and the five murals correspond to the five major realms of cultivation?"
Eunuch Hai nodded, then smiled and said:
"Our family knows what you are thinking. In his later years, Taizu was extremely close to the 'human immortal', so what is depicted on the fifth floor of the mural is Taizu's experience of attacking the human immortal...
But this thing is too far away from you. Don't even think about looking at it. Just a glance at it is enough to make you seriously injured and faint. Even His Majesty is still comprehending the fourth level. "
After saying that, the old eunuch took out another porcelain bottle from his sleeve and threw it to him:
"This is the remaining spiritual pill, about five or six, to help you visualize the picture scroll."
Zhao Duan took it. He knew that this elixir was produced by Tianshi Mansion and was quite expensive.
As expected of a royal family, he is generous.
Next, the old eunuch led him back to the front yard to register him, which was a standard procedure.
Finally, he handed him a small silver plate with the words "Royal Offering" written on it, and said in a deep voice: "Please keep your identity plate. Remember, the process of the mural you saw today is strictly prohibited from being told to outsiders. Once found, you will be responsible for the consequences.”
Zhao Duan's mind shivered, he held the token in both hands and put it in his inner pocket to guarantee it.
At this point, the entire process is completed.
Before Zhao Duan left, he curiously asked:
"Father, may I ask what is in the houses we just passed along the way?"
Eunuch Hai said leisurely:
"This place is the inner arsenal, naturally displaying all kinds of magic weapons, armor, talismans, pills, and precious spiritual tools. Oh, your merits are still small. Once you accumulate your merits, you can apply to come here to choose weapons."
Magic weapon? The flying sword kind?
With one sword strike, someone's head could be taken from a thousand miles away... Zhao Duan couldn't help but think about it.
…
Watching Zhao Duan leave, Mr. Hai is about to leave.
Suddenly, the empress Xu Zhenguan was seen arriving here quietly.
"Slave, please see Your Majesty!"
"Without courtesy," Xu Zhenguan was dressed in white, with a graceful figure, her black hair waving, and she looked brightly: "What about Zhao Duan?"
Eunuch Hai responded truthfully.
Above average appearance? Xu Zhenguan was also slightly surprised.
In fact, Zhao Duanka had been in mortal form for several years, so she originally thought that this young guard's talent was mediocre.
Now it seems that it should be caused by lack of resources.
In addition, the first thing to consider when choosing a candidate for royal service is "loyalty", followed by talent. Zhao Duan can get an "above average rating", which is already good.
"Very good, you can go ahead. I'll go to the building to examine the details for a while." Xu Zhenguan walked towards the depths.
His Majesty actually came to inquire in person... As everyone knows, Eunuch Hai was also quite surprised by this.
The enshrined person was a personal guard of the royal family, and Zhao Duan was appointed by the empress, so he was obviously trained according to his direct lineage.
"The rumored favorite of a handsome man has now become his direct descendant. How strange, how strange."
Eunuch Hai became curious and thought about paying more attention to it.
…
The pavilion has four floors.
Xu Zhenguan moved lightly and reached the door. Ten slender fingers slipped out of the sleeves, as white as jade. With just one push, the six-hundred-year-old door opened with a creak.
Inside, the layout is similar to the first floor, with only one stone wall, and a futon and an incense burner placed in front.
Xu Zhenguan sat on the futon, holding the incense burner with both hands, green smoke curled up, and a jade seal mark flickered between his eyebrows.
Start visualizing the mural for the umpteenth time.
As Lao Zongfeng said, although Xu Zhenguan has the reality of "the realm of heaven and man", he relies on dragon energy to fill it. The real realm is still one step away from "the realm of heaven and man".
It was this step that made her want to die.
Therefore, Xu Zhenguan often came to study Taizu's murals, trying to truly take that step, but failed time and time again.
It's not that Xu Zhenguan is not talented enough.
In fact, this fourth mural was painted after the death of Emperor Taizu.
During the six hundred years of the Dayu Dynasty, during which time there were countless royal bloodlines and even gifted worshippers, no one could fully understand this fourth painting.
In history, there were times when an emperor was so desperate that he boldly invited the headmaster of the Tianshi Mansion of that generation, a real "celestial realm" warlock, to come into the palace to observe, but the other party could not understand it.
The fourth one is already so obscure and difficult to understand. As for the mural on the fifth floor, no one has been able to successfully "visualize" it for 600 years since Taizu.
Yes!
Even just entering it is impossible!
"Emperor Taizu, where exactly is this "human world" you describe, and how do you explain it?" Xu Zhenguan smiled bitterly.
The painting in front of him was both extremely familiar and unfamiliar to Xu Zhenguan.
Familiar because she has seen it thousands of times.
The strange thing is that this picture scroll depicts an extremely weird "bizarre world" that she cannot understand or understand at all, and therefore cannot fully comprehend.
In a daze, she visualized again.
In her beautiful eyes, the scene in the mural is gradually reflected:
Under the night, the modern city is as bright as a dense steel jungle. Skyscrapers stand tall, traffic is constantly flowing on overpasses, and the inner ring is like a flowing river. ribbons.
The empress’ beautiful eyes were extremely confused:
"What on earth are these...?"
…
…
"It's finally over!"
Outside the palace city, when Zhao Duan walked out of the deep doorway, he felt that his whole body was warmed by the afternoon sun.
This half-day experience was really exciting.
First, he dealt with the defense, reversed the situation, had a meal with the empress, explained the changes in his character, and then was enshrined. He obtained the royal family's unique spiritual inheritance, and also broke through a small realm.
"Well, now I should be regarded as a direct descendant of the empress, right?" Zhao Duan thought.
The empress had only been on the throne for two years. Although she had taken over the power of the late emperor and the prince, her "direct line" was still too small, and there were even fewer capable people in her line.
Zhao Duan made some operations, showed his ability, and showed his loyalty.
Although there is still a guillotine hanging above the head to "capture Zhuang Xiaocheng", at least the survival crisis has been temporarily lifted...
Well, it's just for the time being... You can't float, otherwise you will die suddenly if you float. This is an important experience from the previous life.
"Where to go next?"
Zhao Duan stood alone at the gate of the palace, a little confused.
It seems that it’s time to go back to the “home” of this identity.
In the past three days, Zhao Duan has not been home. By digging up his memory, how should I put it...
It can only be said that Zhao Duan's family situation is quite complicated.
"drive!"
At this moment, suddenly, a carriage came galloping in front, and it was Zhu Kui who was wielding a whip.
When Lao Zhu saw Zhao Duan, his eyes lit up. He quickly reined in the horse, grabbed the whip and ran off the car, shouting: "Shijun! Something bad has happened, something happened at home!!"
