Chapter 761: Breaking the Formation and Gazing at the Immortal
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and praised: “Your ancestor was a smart and courageous man who was grateful and repaid favors. He was also a man of perseverance and tenacity. If not for this, he would not have been recognized by the goddess.”

Ayiguli bowed slightly and replied respectfully: “Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.”

Ying Zheng stopped smiling and said slowly, “To be honest, I came here to find this goddess. I have already found the valley, but there is a barrier in the valley. I have no ill intentions, so it is not easy to force my way in.”

“I wonder if your ancestors left any map information, and do you know how to enter the barrier?” Ying Zheng stared at Aiguli with a sharp gaze.

Ayiguli swallowed her saliva, feeling the tremendous pressure, and opened her eyes wide. Her emerald green pupils trembled slightly. After hesitating for a long time, she knelt down respectfully and kowtowed:

“Great Son of Heaven, great Emperor Qin Shi Huang, I shall obey your will. However, my clan is able to have what it has today because of the grace of the goddess. This…”

As soon as he heard this, Ying Zheng knew what was going on. He smiled slightly, raised his hand to support him, and said gently, “Stand up and talk.”

“You are grateful and repaying my kindness. This is only natural. I am very satisfied. Since you know how to be grateful, you will certainly be loyal to me.”

He paused, and continued, “I have no ill intentions in this trip. I have important matters to attend to. If I had any ill intentions, I would have forced my way in long ago. The barrier is just a cover-up and will break at the first touch. I don’t want to be rude, so I don’t want to force my way in.”

“I am the Son of Heaven. Even the Goddess of Wushan, the daughter of Emperor Yan, is my consort. I have come from afar to confirm an important matter.”

Ying Zheng smiled, and became more gentle, “Your beloved daughter is my favorite concubine, we are family, how could I put one of my own in an unjust situation?”

“Don’t worry too much.”

Ying Zheng’s words made Aiguli feel a little relieved, and she immediately decided to back off.

She said this to make Ying Zheng take her seriously. No one would like an ungrateful person, especially the monarch.

Secondly, it is to pass on the blame.

The goddess is far away, but you definitely can’t afford to offend her.

His Majesty the Emperor is right in front of us, so we can’t afford to offend him.

Could I really refuse His Majesty? His Majesty is not forcing me, and his attitude is so good, how can I refuse?

Just show your attitude, no matter what the emperor said is true or false, and no matter what really happens in the future, even if it is a fight.

No matter who wins or loses, neither of them would kill innocent people indiscriminately. After she expressed her attitude, everyone on both sides had something to say.

Ayiguli knelt down before Ying Zheng, kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: “Your Majesty is wise and great, the Son of Heaven. How could I not know that Your Majesty’s brilliance is like the sun and the moon, shining on the heaven and earth? I will obey Your Majesty’s will.”

“My ancestors left behind a stone tablet, which has been passed down in my family for generations. Your Majesty, please take a look. If it can help Your Majesty meet the goddess, it will be my honor.”

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: “Thank you, my dear. When you pay tribute in the future, you can go to the capital in person. Severanya misses you too.”

Aiguli lowered her eyebrows and said devoutly and respectfully: “Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely obey your Majesty’s will. The beauty in your Majesty’s heavenly palace must be far better than Jingjue. Even so, I miss the beauty very much. Your Majesty has graced us to meet, and I am grateful.”

Ying Zheng nodded and said, “I am in a hurry, there is no time to lose, take me to have a look.”

“Yes.” Aiguli got up and went straight to her bedroom, right in this room. She pushed open her bed and pulled open the floor, revealing a small basement underneath.

The current Queen of Jingjue also has a good level of cultivation and does not rely solely on her eyes.

There were many treasures in the basement, and in a corner, the thick stone floor of the basement was opened.

There is also a secret cave, which contains even more precious treasures.

However, the key point is the stone slab that serves as the floor, which is plain both from the front and the back.

Aiguli carefully used a knife to scrape off the thick layer of mud on the bottom surface of the stone slab, revealing a simple map and some special symbols.

Ying Zheng couldn’t help but sigh, it was the same all over the world, the most precious things were always kept under one’s pillow.

Ayiguli’s method is quite ingenious. When ordinary people search this treasure basement, it is hard to imagine that there are other secret treasures hidden in the basement.

Even if they found this secret cave and got the most precious treasure, they would never have thought that the biggest secret was on the stone slab that served as the lid.

Although the Jingjue Kingdom is not big, it is not short of smart people.

Aiguli wiped the stone slab clean, presented it to Ying Zheng, and explained to him the meaning of the symbols.

This map shows the route from here to the valley. Ying Zheng doesn’t need to look at it. The main thing is to see how to enter the barrier.

No matter what kind of formation there is, there must be a way to enter and exit through life and death. This is in accordance with the way of heaven. There is absolutely no formation that can only enter but not exit. In that case, the formation itself is dead. It is nothing more than two gates of life and death, each with a different size. Especially for a barrier like this one used for camouflage and concealment, there must be a normal entrance passage.

The second time the ancestor of Jingjue went to see the goddess, he crossed the mountains and entered under guidance, so he must have taken the normal passage.

Ying Zheng carefully looked at the map carved on the stone slab and listened to Ayiguli’s explanation, and he already had a sense of what was going on.

Then he ordered: “My trip is top secret, you must not tell anyone else.”

“I have something important to do, so I won’t stay any longer.”

Ayiguli replied respectfully: “I understand. I will never tell anyone about what happened today.”

“Your Majesty, it is getting late today. Jingjue is honored to have your Majesty come to visit us. Please allow me to rest for a day and let you serve me. It will not be too late to do important things tomorrow.”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but I am short on time, so let’s just leave it at that for now.”

After saying that, he turned and left. Aiguli hurriedly followed to see him off. Ying Zheng walked out of the room, and his figure flashed and flew away. Aiguli was shocked and knelt there to see him off. She did not stand up for a long time, her eyes full of shock and awe.

After Ayiguli stood up, she looked up at the night sky and sighed softly. The moonlight sprinkled on her face, like a layer of gauze. Her ancestor was recognized by the goddess for the second time. The goddess gave her a feather again, and it has never been used by generations. The feather is sewn inside her underwear.

Giving the map but not the token also shows that the Jingjue lineage definitely did not betray the goddess, and they are not ungrateful people. The goddess will understand.

No matter what, we can’t afford to offend both sides, so this is the only way. This is the wisdom of survival for small people.

Ying Zheng arrived at the secret valley again and landed gently on the ground. His figure was light and his movements were cautious and careful, like a wisp of green smoke.

Even though he already knew the method to enter, Ying Zheng still kept his composure. He flicked his fingertips and a wisp of true Qi transformed into a true Qi body to try it out. He then concentrated all his attention and was ready to retreat at any time.

Who knows if the way to enter this barrier has been changed after two hundred years.

Until this true Qi body successfully entered, the seemingly desolate valley instantly turned into a paradise on earth.

Looking around, the green mountains are covered with dark blue, the clear water hides the secluded, and the fragrant paths are winding like silk. The flowers are dazzling, and the stream is bright and shining; the clear stream washes the rocks, and the sound of the clear stream is melodious. Clouds rise in the valley, and the fog covers the towers. Orioles sing in the trees, butterflies dance in the fragrant bushes, deer drink by the stream, and fish play in the waves. The morning sun and the evening light each present their own beauty; the spring prosperity and the autumn plainness are all into the realm of painting. This scene is free from the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, and has the tranquility of forests and springs. It is truly a paradise on earth and a paradise on earth.

It is truly a beautiful scene. Ying Zheng sighed in his heart, this is also a place that knows how to enjoy. This place is full of colorful flowers, lush green plants, flowers, birds, fish, insects and various auspicious animals. It is a good place to live in seclusion. It is simply a fairyland.

The wild animals in this place live in harmony. There are no carnivorous beasts. Most of them are herbivorous and gentle animals.

After the True Qi body explored it a bit, it found that even the wild beasts in this place were not afraid of humans. When they saw Ying Zheng, they did not run away, but approached curiously, with docility and curiosity in their eyes.

Ying Zheng made sure that there was no danger before he entered in person.

After Ying Zheng entered, he carefully explored it again and found that there was indeed no problem. He then turned his eyes to the most conspicuous place, a “hanging” palace built against the cliff.

The style is typical of the Central Plains, and it is not too old, at least not from the Xia and Shang dynasties.

Although this palace is not large, you can tell at a glance that it was not built by humans.

This palace is a seamless whole, being built by cutting through the cliff. With Ying Zheng’s vision, he could tell at a glance that it was built by someone with extremely high cultivation, who chiseled and mined the pure stone from the cliff himself.

Ying Zheng carefully explored the valley and the area around the palace, but did not find any special spiritual beasts, nor did he find the flying eagle that Aiguli mentioned that could carry people flying.

Ying Zheng hesitated for a moment and decided to investigate first.

He flew carefully to the palace on the cliff. When he arrived at the palace gate, he looked up and saw that there was not even a plaque. Although the palace was large, it was very quiet. None of the birds, beasts, fish, insects, etc. came here.

After Ying Zheng entered, he found that the palace was even more empty, almost nothing.

Ying Zheng continued to move forward carefully until he reached the back hall, which finally had some breath of life. At least there were a few storage boxes and a small dressing table, although there was nothing on the dressing table.

Just as Ying Zheng was about to go deeper, he suddenly discovered that there was another small barrier.

This barrier is not a hidden barrier, it is an invisible and colorless defensive barrier.

Ying Zheng looked carefully and saw a stone bed inside the defensive barrier. On the bed, a five-colored lotus was suspended in the air. The lotus emitted a soft light. It was obvious that this was another layer of defense.

Through these two layers of defensive barriers, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath and his heart was beating fast on the spot. He could clearly see that there was a stunning goddess wrapped in the colorless lotus.
