Chapter 299: Heaven’s Will

Zuo Chen put his hands behind his back and looked around.

The palace is prosperous and eye-catching, with the finest cold-colored luminous pearls and top-grade colored glaze and gemstones.

Each piece is extremely valuable, and they would be heavy if exchanged for gold bricks.

However, this palace, which should have been prosperous and magnificent, was far less glamorous and beautiful than its real owner.

The weather was very good today, and the sun was shining brightly outside the palace, enough to tan the old farmer’s face with sweat.

However, the sunlight seemed to be blocked by an invisible veil inside the palace and was left outside the palace.

The civil and military officials around were not living people either. A careful observation would reveal that their skin had no blood color and did not look like the sebum of living things, but more like slightly rough paper.

This is,

A paper-made figure in the court!

It was so gloomy and eerie that it didn’t feel like walking in the world of the living, but rather like entering the palace of the underworld.

“I built a palace in this hidden hill, made civil officials out of paper, and always went to Kyoto when I had nothing to do…”

Without disguising the sarcasm in his tone, Zuo Chen stared straight at Li Zhao who was sitting on the dragon chair:

“A noble man, a noble man… Haha, you are indeed a noble man, but you are a noble man in the sewers and gutters, and you can only command these filthy and evil things.”

“The Taoist priest’s words are sharp.”

Li Zhao’s expression remained unchanged, but his eyes became a little gloomy.

He cast his gaze towards the worn-out dragon robe in Zuo Chen’s hand:
“I never thought that a master like the Taoist priest would sneak into someone else’s cemetery and open the coffin to take the things inside.”

“Some people are worthy of respect, and some are not. What you did is totally unworthy of respect from others.”

Zuo Chen simply threw the robe in his hand forward.

The dragon robe fluttered in the air and then spread flat on the ground.

Like a dirty cloth.

“This is the symbol of imperial power, it is the will of heaven.”

Li Zhao looked at the dragon robe spread out on the ground.

“You’re talking to me about imperial power?”

“Why can’t we talk?” Li Zhao finally showed a faint smile on his face.

He waved his hand, and four maids immediately appeared.

The maids walked to the dragon robe, picked it up and brought it to Li Zhao’s side.

Li Zhao slowly stood up from the dragon throne again.

Only then did Zuo Chen discover that there were gray-black hoses extending from behind Li Zhao, which looked like intestines, internal organs and blood vessels.

His flesh and blood seemed to merge into the dragon throne behind him.

The rotten meat was roasted on the hot iron plate and stuck to the steel.

seem,

He paid a lot of price to prolong his life.

“There have been eighteen emperors in Daliang so far, each of whom has guarded the remaining kingdom on top of the mountain. If there were no emperor, the remaining common people would have died in the meat grinder long ago!

“We reclaimed, we maintained, we created, and we preserved the last remaining spark of fire.

“It was not until my generation was protected that I realized that everything I had done was in vain. My beam will eventually be swallowed up by the sea of ​​suffering. This is the destined future!

“Then I will naturally seek a way to protect the beam!”

Just as all the muddy hoses were pulled away from the throne, Li Zhao slowly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the dragon robe.

He stared at the dragon robe, a hint of obsession appearing in his eyes.

Finally, he swung it up and put it directly on his back.

Laugh out loud:

“I begged day and night, and finally got the response from the mountain in the ancestral temple.

“If you cannot escape from the sea of ​​suffering, then you will be drawn into it!

“But after the pain, there will be an eternal dynasty!

“No pain, no thoughts, no life, no death!

“And in this eternal dynasty, I am the eternal emperor, able to lead the subjects of Daliang forever, and live forever beyond the long river of time!

“It’s a pity that I am not old enough to accomplish this great feat, nor can I lead an army to charge towards Youzhou Pass, chop off my brother’s head, open Youzhou Pass, and let the bitter sea in!

“I can only temporarily lend my poor child’s life, and look forward to the day when I can rebuild the Kyoto Army and summon the Sea of ​​Bitterness!”

The gloomy palace began to rumble and the walls glowed with golden light.

Four paper maids draped the dragon robe on Li Zhao. They placed their hands on the throne and lifted it up steadily.

Deep in the palace, soldiers in black armor walked out from the shadows, six on the left, six on the right, and in the middle stood a tall soldier who looked like a commander, holding a black long sword in his hand.

The civil and military officials made of paper figures on both sides knelt down in unison and bowed to Li Zhaona:

“Long live!
“Long live!
“Long live!”

In the sky, the clouds seem to gather towards the mountain top, as if the entire sky is tilting towards the mountain.

Jin Xuan leaves the palace, and heaven favors him!
The entire palace became Li Zhao’s dojo!

Zuo Chen stared at Li Zhao coldly.

He could see very clearly,

Li Zhao has gone crazy.

Zuo Chen spread out his palm, and a large seal like white jade appeared in his palm. He sneered:
“After all this talk, it’s all for the sake of being able to sit on the throne forever!”

“I am the Son of Heaven, it is destiny. What’s wrong with me sitting here forever?” Li Zhao pointed his sword at Zuo Chen from the lower left corner of the black horse: “You and I have different ideas and we don’t agree. I have to ask the Taoist priest to test it through a duel!”

All the civil and military officials stood up again, formed into human walls, and rushed towards Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen just lightly weighed the seal in his hand:
“Noisy.”

…Li Rongxian, who was stuffed with talismans by Zuo Chen, walked towards the imperial study in confusion, with Eunuch Bao and General Zhou following him.

Li Ji and Cai Yi followed behind.

Firstly, the two of them didn’t know where to go now, and secondly, Zuo Chen had just attached true Qi to Li Ji’s blade, and Li Ji felt that he would be able to use it soon, so he kept following the little emperor.

Eunuch Bao took a look at the talismans on Li Rongxian’s body. He obviously had some obsessive-compulsive disorder and wanted to reach out and tear off the talismans.

But he clearly knows right from wrong.

The Taoist priest is as capable as his father-in-law.

Although he didn’t know what the Taoist priest saw above the library, since he was sent so many talismans to protect the little emperor, it proved that the other party was likely to plot against the little emperor.

With such a great master protecting me, it doesn’t matter if this tight-fitting outfit is a little ugly.

If it really doesn’t work, just put on a big flag to cover these talismans.

As they were about to reach the imperial study, they suddenly felt an earthquake. Li Rongxian, who was walking in front, subconsciously held onto the stone pillar beside him and did not fall.

Eunuch Bao was much more miserable.

There was nothing around him to hold on to, and he was quite old, so he slipped and fell to the ground with a thud, screaming in agony.

The other people were all skilled in Taoism, and even earthquakes could not shake their steps. They calmed down even faster, raised their heads in surprise, and looked at the mountain peak in the distance.

Thick dust and smoke were emitting from the top of the mountain outside Kyoto, and clouds were flying in all directions. There seemed to be flashes of thunder and golden light in the thick gray smoke, as if two brutal forces were colliding with each other.

There are people fighting over there.

The impact of this brute force fight was like a dragon turning over, crashing into everyone in Kyoto and filling them with panic.

“A battle between gods, a battle between gods!” Eunuch Bao, who fell to the ground, opened his mouth so wide that his eyes almost popped out.

Li Rongxian also stared blankly at the thick fog.

He could clearly see two rays of light on the distant mountain top.

A ray of thunder and a ray of golden light.

Now the mighty thunder is obviously suppressing the golden light, and is devouring the golden light at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But for some reason, Li Rongxian’s thoughts suddenly became a little confused.

He could feel something in his dantian calling him, and a shadow appeared in his sight.

It was a man wearing a dragon robe.

Li Rongxian felt that this man’s face looked very familiar.

When he was very young, this man was always by his side, holding him gently.

At that time, there was always a faint and gentle smile on the other person’s face.

This is……

His father.

Li Rongxian felt a sense of intimacy from the man in front of him.

It was like it was calling him over.

Subconsciously, Li Rongxian took a step forward and walked towards the man in front of him.

However, before he took this step, he suddenly felt a gentle force on his clothes.

This power traveled through his body and quickly flowed into his mind.

Li Rongxian woke up immediately.

When he looked at the figure in front of him again, he realized that the other person looked completely different from the father in his memory.

“Li Zhao” was wearing a tattered dragon robe, with half of his body badly damaged. The flesh and blood on the wounds were slowly wriggling, and many gray tubes like intestines stretched out from it, which was horrifying.

At his chest, his dragon robe was opened, revealing a Buddhist bead that emitted a faint glow.

Even the smile on his face became dark and terrifying.

Li Rongxian took two steps back in shock.

Only then did he realize that everything around him seemed to be in slow motion.

Eunuch Bao, who was trembling on the ground, was drawing his sword to protect his General Zhou. He was surprised to see Li Jihe on the mountain wearing colorful clothes that seemed to be commonplace.

There was an old tree in the yard. Due to the violent vibration, its leaves were shaken off and it was slowly falling in the air. It was unknown how long it would take to fall to the ground.

Li Rongxian can see his own body.

The body was nervously holding onto a stone pillar, looking up at the violently shaking mountaintop not far away.

This?
What’s going on here?

Li Rongxian looked at Li Zhao warily.

Although this man has the face of his father, Li Rongxuan always has a feeling:
The other person is not his father at all!

Puzzlement gradually emerged on Li Zhaoben’s smiling face.

“Why don’t you come over? I’m your father.”

Li Rongxian took two steps back.

At this moment, Li Zhao’s gaze fell on Li Rongxian’s original body.

He saw the coat covered with talismans.

A look of surprise flashed across Li Zhao’s face for a second, then his face turned gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“That damn Taoist priest is quite cautious in his actions!”

“Who are you?” Li Rongxuan moved closer to Li Ji and asked, “Why are you using my father’s face?”

“Me? I am Li Zhao, your father.” Li Zhao walked slowly towards Li Rongxuan. “Taoist, I cast a protective spell on you, but what’s the use? You are still mine after all.”

Li Rongxian retreated step by step.

He finally got close to Li Ji.

At this moment, Li Ji’s eyes, which seemed to be trapped in the long river of time, finally became lively.
