Chapter 298 The Old Emperor
Zuo Chen continued to move forward along the long river of time.
Looking at the pictures that were changing rapidly in front of him, Zuo Chen could also feel that he was getting closer to the target time.
Finally, he stopped on the bank of the long river of time.
He saw a huge wave.
Some important events will leave hidden reefs in the long river of time. The rushing tide of time will hit the top of the hidden reefs and set off rushing white waves, guiding travelers along the current.
As he approached the surging waves, Zuo Chen knew he had found the place.
This period of time corresponds to the few years left vacant after the ghost disaster.
After mooring to the bank of the River of Time, Zuo Chen lowered his head and looked down at the flowing river of time.
My eyes swept across the river.
Soon, Zuo Chen found the "hidden reef" in the long river of time.
The huge shadow is falling in the palace, covering the entire palace.
Walking directly into the river, Ruochen's figure also appeared in the palace at this time.
After wandering around for two times, Zuo Chen simply found a big rock and sat down, waiting for something to happen.
And soon, he saw a little baby running out from the depths of the palace with a sad face.
This doll looks young, wearing a pair of small cloth shoes, and the satin on her body is luxurious and beautiful.
And his face is neutral, like a man and a woman.
Zuo Chen recognized who this little doll was at a glance.
This is Li Rongxuan.
Li Rongxuan ran towards Zuo Chen's direction, and then his body was like mist, passing around Zuo Chen's legs.
The images from the past still cannot affect Zuo Chen, and Zuo Chen cannot touch these images.
Just as Zuo Chen's eyes followed Li Rongxuan away, he suddenly heard a slightly tired male voice coming from behind:
"Rong'er, Rong'er."
Looking sideways, I found a man standing in the long corridor.
He is a little thin and his face is somewhat similar to Li Ji and Li Yu.
This man is...
Li Rongxuan’s father.
Zuo Chen remembered that Li Ji once introduced him to him that this was the previous emperor, Li Zhao.
He still remembered Li Ji’s evaluation.
The old emperor Li Zhao was a qualified emperor when he was young. He served the country and the people, and was even worthy of being called a saint.
As a result, he suddenly became insane and caused a ghost disaster in Kyoto.
This time point...
It should be after the ghost disaster is over and before Li Zhao's death.
But from the memories in this book, Li Zhao looks very normal now, without any trace of madness about killing the world.
Li Rongxuan, who was running along the street, suddenly tripped over something. He fell forward and fell to the ground, crying in pain.
Li Zhao also walked quickly behind Li Rongxuan.
He stretched out his hands and picked up Li Rongxuan:
"You kid, you must have fallen down while running around."
"It hurts...it hurts... "
The young Li Rongxuan obviously couldn't speak fluently now. He could only shed tears and repeat in a milky voice.
"Hey, my father will take you to treatment. You'll be fine in a while."
Li Rongxuan nodded.
Li Zhao smiled and walked in the palace holding Li Rongxuan.
Zuo Chen followed suit.
Soon, Zuo Chen had to realize that Li Zhao was going in the wrong direction.
If it is just a fall, normally you can just call the imperial doctor into the palace for treatment. Even if you are eager to protect your child, you should send it to the imperial doctor's office.
And the direction Li Zhao is taking now...
Zuo Chen looks a bit familiar.
This seems to be,
the direction to the underground ancestral hall!
Zuo Chen suddenly recalled that Li Ji had said that Li Rongxuan suffered a serious illness when he was a child. At that time, his father took him into the underground mausoleum and he recovered when he came out.
Is it now?
A serious illness that cannot be cured after a fall?
Zuo Chen felt something in his heart and had already guessed what would happen next.
And just as he expected,
Li Zhao took Li Rongxuan to the entrance of the underground mausoleum.
He said hello and asked the soldiers guarding the door to move away. A high-ranking official happened to be nearby. Seeing this situation, he hurried up and asked:
"Your Majesty, why did you bring the prince into the mausoleum?"
"The prince has a strange disease, and the imperial doctors can't solve it." Li Zhao said with a smile on his face: "I need to ask my ancestors for instructions."
>The young Li Rongxuan could not tell that there was something wrong in his father's words. He just bit his thumb and looked at his father in confusion.
The official seemed to sense something was wrong from Li Zhao's words. He even wiped his forehead and withdrew, not daring to stop Li Zhao.
In this way, Li Zhao entered the tomb.
Zuo Chen followed.
There were only two people in the entire mausoleum, Li Zhao and Li Rongxuan. Li Rongxuan finally felt something was wrong at this moment:
"Father, why did you bring me here? I'm afraid..."
< br>
"Don't be afraid." Li Zhao had a big smile on his face.
In the darkness, the dancing firelight in the mausoleum reflected on his face, and long shadows were drawn under his hair and on the bridge of his nose:
"My father's life is not long. But you You still have a long life.”
“Father?”
Li Rongxuan’s words stopped abruptly.
A dagger pierced his chest.
Li Zhao held the dagger in his hand, with the smile still on his face.
……
Zuo Chen opened his eyes.
Recalling everything he saw just now, Zuo Chen had some ideas in his mind. He went straight downstairs.
"Taoist Master, how's it going?" Seeing Zuo Chen come down after spending only half a stick of incense, Li Rongxuan, who was in a daze at the door, blinked and looked at Zuo Chen with some confusion.
Without saying anything, Zuo Chen took out a thick stack of yellow paper talismans from his arms and began to stick them on Li Rongxuan.
Blessing, great luck, no disaster, exorcism, steel body.
Li Rongxuan: "?"
After doing this, Zuo Chen thought about it again, and differentiated a drop of Hunyuan Qi from his dantian, and put a protective layer on it to ensure that it would not After four weeks of assimilation, this thing was stuffed into Li Rongxuan's hands.
"Take it."
"Oh."
Although Li Rongxuan didn't know what Zuo Chen meant, he still put the things away honestly.
After finishing these preparations, Zuo Chen felt that there still seemed to be a lack of killing methods here, so he simply called Li Ji, who was a little confused next to him, and asked him to take out the knife.
Li Ji didn't doubt him at all, so he threw the knife to Zuo Chen directly.
Zuo Chen poured his true energy into the blade.
This time he did not consider any sustainability, so the knife could only swing one blow.
But precisely because of this, this knife is enough to break open mountains and clear away evil spirits.
"Taoist Master? Is this what you want?"
Everyone could see that something was wrong with Zuo Chen's behavior and couldn't help but feel doubtful.
"I'm going to take care of some things."
Zuo Chen looked at the position of the sun in the sky:
"It won't take long."
"Do you want to prepare lunch? Cai Yi asked familiarly.
“Okay, make more soup.”
After saying this, Zuo Chen flew away without knowing where he was going.
Until he disappeared, Cai Yi turned to look at the people around him with a smile:
"Taoist Master wants to drink soup, Eunuch Bao, do you have any recommendations?"
< br>"Huh? Oh, I'm going to ask the cooks in the imperial dining room."
Eunuch Bao ran towards the imperial dining room, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart:
"Is it all so natural?"
......
Zuo Chen, who was drifting away, actually turned in the air and returned to the sky directly above the palace.
He attached the "Escape Technique" around his body, and the person immediately burrowed into the thick soil.
It didn’t take long for Zuo Chen to arrive at the location of the previous mausoleum.
Standing on the simple floor, Zuo Chen's eyes were full of energy as he looked at the coffins one by one.
The last time he came, he only did a cursory scan, and out of respect for the deceased, Zuo Chen did not use Guan Qi to peek inside the coffin.
But this time, with the relationship numbers running at full strength, Zuo Chen quickly found the completely different coffin.
It was a mahogany coffin placed under a dead tree. The entire dead tree branches were tied with red ribbons, hanging down like willows. Together with this gloomy ancient tomb and coffin, it made people feel A chill spreads down one's spine.
Zuo Chen walked directly to the coffin and put his hand on the coffin lid.
Push hard.
A smell of old decay suddenly filled the entire underground secret room.
There is indeed a corpse lying inside the coffin, but the remaining energy attached to this corpse is not the same as that of the Li family.
Zuo Chen didn’t know who the owner of this body was, but he was definitely not Li Zhao.
But he was wearing a dragon robe.
The breath of dragon veins on it cannot be faked.
In order to escape for death, Li Zhao put his dragon robe on the dead body.
In this way, even if the coffin is opened for inspection, most people will not realize that the body is not his at all.
With a wave of his hand, the dragon robe fell directly into Zuo Chen's hands.
Zuo Chen also jumped up, left the tomb and arrived directly above Kyoto.
In fact, as a sacrificial garment, Li Zhao may not have worn the dragon robe a few times, but this thing is the same as the Tianqing Jinxuan, with strong Qi breath on it.
It also happened to be the best way for Zuo Chen to find someone.
Contrast the breath, Zuo Chen's eyes quickly looked around the entire Kyoto.
Seen the houses and swept the city walls.
Zuo Chen’s eyes finally fell on a mountain outside Kyoto.
It's bright today and there are many clouds, but there are no clouds on the top of the mountain over there, and they were blown away by something.
Zuo Chen flew in that direction and soon reached the top of the mountain.
When you reach the top of the mountain, you can see a gentle platform.
And directly above this platform.
A luxurious building is being built.
Entering the main hall, what you see is a magnificent sight. The left and right sides of the hall are full of people, including civil servants on the left and military generals on the right.
They stood stiffly on the spot, like rows of dead but not stiff corpses.
When Zuo Chen entered, these civil servants and generals also bent their heads sideways and stared in his direction.
As Zuo Chen advanced, the eyes of the civil servants and generals were also locked on him.
Zuo Chengen didn't care about the people on both sides. He went directly to the middle of the hall.
There is a golden throne here, with a ferocious five-clawed dragon carved on top.
A middle-aged man with a soft face is sitting above.
He is the same man Zuo Chen saw in the long river of time.
The former emperor of Daliang.
The initiator of the ghost disaster in Kyoto.
Li Zhao!
