Chapter 49, Re-entering the Secret Realm

Early the next morning, Shangguan Jinghong bid farewell to Leng Lingfeng and Yuan Hong, and went to the capital again with Hong Tianyu. On the same day, he entered the Jin Palace. Zhao Tianqi was overjoyed when he saw Shangguan Jinghong: "Brother, why are you here?"

Shangguan Jinghong smiled embarrassedly. It wasn't long before I said goodbye to him, and he was willing to stay longer if he wanted to stay. This time I came here to ask for something.”

Zhao Tianqi smiled slightly: "My brother's business is my business, please tell me."

"My lord, I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and I want to enter the secret realm of the royal family again," Shangguan Jinghong said very seriously.

Zhao Tianqi's heart skipped a beat: "Brother, what are you kidding?"

"how?"

Zhao Tianqi looked at Shangguan Jinghong and frowned, and said: "It's not that the emperor disagrees, even if he agrees, it's useless. The secret realm only opens once in a century, and it's just been opened. Even if I want you to enter, you won't be able to enter. "

Shangguan Jinghong smiled mysteriously: "So that's the case, the prince doesn't have to worry, as long as the emperor agrees, I can go in freely, even if I can't get in, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Tianqi was taken aback, can he go in?What's the situation: "Okay, you and I will enter the palace now, the emperor will not stop you."

After Zhao Tianqi finished speaking, he brought Shangguan Jinghong into the palace. The little emperor Zhao Lin was also very happy when he saw Shangguan Jinghong, but he had no choice but to have someone by his side, so he couldn't get too close, so he had to say: "Shangguan worship, you are here. "

Shangguan gave a little salute in surprise, but he joked directly, "How is it, Your Majesty, how does it feel to be an emperor?"

One sentence made Zhao Tianqi break out in cold sweat, and hurriedly pulled Shangguan Jinghong's clothes: "Brother, uh, Shangguan worships, don't be rude in front of the emperor."

Shangguan pursed his lips resentfully in shock, Zhao Lin said indifferently: "It's okay, Uncle Emperor, the priest of Shangguan speaks straightforwardly, but it is more pleasant to listen to than those ministers who are stalking in the court."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Zhao Lin with admiration. Although the boy's words were still far from the emperor's, he was becoming more and more like an adult: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I am here to ask for something."

Zhao Lin's eyes flashed: "Zhengchou doesn't know how to repay Shangguan's favor. This feeling is good. If Shangguan has something to do, feel free to ask. I will never refuse if I can do it."

Shangguan Jinghong said: "Okay, Your Majesty, then I will not be polite." Shangguan Jinghong rubbed his hands, thinking about how to speak.

Zhao Tianqi said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you, Shangguan wants to enter the secret realm again."

Zhao Lin was slightly startled, and said, "This..."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Zhao Lin with some hesitation, and couldn't help but anxiously said: "Your Majesty, is this difficult?"

"That's not true. When my father was in power, the Shangguan priest also entered the secret realm. What's embarrassing for me is that this secret realm can't be opened just by saying it. The royal family's secret realm is opened once every hundred years. I heard from my father that there were people in the past." I wanted to break the rules and reopen the secret realm, but all failed, and the Shangguan enshrined..."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, since I proposed to re-enter the secret realm, there is naturally a way to open it, but the royal family's secret realm is owned by the royal family. .”

As soon as Zhao Lin heard that he liked Shangguan Jinghong even more, seeing that the court priest who had spared no effort to help him tide over the difficulties was not proud of his merits, Zhao Lin said: "Shangguan priest, since you have a way, how can I help you?" Do you disagree? The Shangguan will make offerings, please feel free to do so."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "Okay, Your Majesty, thank you very much, this time I owe His Majesty a favor."

Zhao Lin said: "Shangguan is being polite. This time, I am repaying your kindness for helping me. There is nothing human or unkind."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Zhao Lin with a gleam in his eyes. What a little emperor, he knows how to repay his kindness and is considerate: "Your Majesty, the reason for helping you was because I promised the old emperor that I didn't do well, and I have been owed you all the time." His favor is why I helped, this time I owe the emperor a favor."

Zhao Lin didn't say anything on the surface, but he was overjoyed in his heart. With a master like Shangguan Jinghong who owed him a favor, he would definitely help him in trouble in the future: "Okay, Shangguan, if there is a need in the future, I will definitely trouble you .”

Shangguan Jinghong cupped his hands, thanked again, and came to the harem rockery with Hong Tianyu and said secretly: "Master, this is the entrance to the royal secret realm."

Hong Tianyu nodded, and looked around: "Well, there is indeed some aura that doesn't belong here."

Shangguan Jinghong heard the words and said: "Master, since you can see the clue, how about it? Can you open it?"

Hong Tianyu smiled slightly: "It should be possible, I will try."

Shangguan Jinghong stepped back consciously to make room, and saw Hong Tianyu took a deep breath, and the breath circulated around his body, forming a Tai Chi circle, and gradually the yin and yang poles converged, forming a circle of dazzling white light, Hong Tianyu gradually turned a little blush, Hastily called Shangguan Jinghong and said: "Teacher, hurry up, I can't maintain this entrance for long, you go in quickly, remember that the entrance will automatically close after you enter, and I will open it again after seven days, you must remember that no matter what the result is after seven days, you All come back here."

Shangguan Jinghong didn't hesitate, nodded to express his understanding, stepped in towards the white light, turned around again and the white light had disappeared, Shangguan Jinghong looked at the familiar environment around him, Shangguan Jinghong knew that he was running out of time and quickly flew towards the direction of the mountain, bitterly After searching for a long time, he finally found the cave where Yuanchen was. Shangguan Jinghong looked at Yuanchen who was drinking water, and smiled easily. Greatly surprised: "Boy Shangguan?"

Shangguan Jinghong was also very happy to see Yuan Chen: "Senior Yuan, are you here all right?"

Yuan Chen was surprised and said: "Why, has 100 years passed so quickly? Hehe, it seems that the old man really doesn't know how long he has been here."

Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said: "No way, Senior Yuan, I asked my master to forcibly open the passage to the secret realm before I came in."

"Forcibly open it? It seems that your master's cultivation base is not weak, at least it must be one step into the realm of middle-grade saints?" Yuan Chen said.

Shangguan Jinghong smiled mysteriously, and did not answer, but said to Yuan Chen: "Senior Yuan, I am here this time to pick you up."

Yuan Chen raised his eyes and stared at Shangguan Jinghong, and sighed for a long time: "Shangguan boy, you have a heart, but I said it last time, I'm used to staying here, and I haven't gone out for so many years."

Shangguan Jinghong was not polite at all, and found a place to sit down: "Senior Yuan, in fact, I am here this time because of someone's entrustment."

Yuan Chen didn't raise his head, he just lowered his head and poured water for Shangguan Jinghong: "Who is it?"

"Yuan Hong."

Yuan Chen's hand holding the teapot stopped in mid-air: "You told him about me."

Shangguan Jinghong said: "I kept my promise to Senior Yuan, and I didn't tell Brother Yuan Hong where you are, but Brother Yuan Hong's filial piety moved me deeply. The boy was moved, so I told him that I can see Senior. , this is not..."

Yuan Chen smiled: "Brother? Shangguan boy, it seems that you and Hong'er have a good relationship."

"Hehe, speaking of this, I owe it to my seniors. I took seniors' tokens to Yuan's house, and I was almost beaten out. Fortunately, the kid's martial arts are not bad. If this doesn't lead to elder brother Yuan Hong meeting me, we'll be together." got to know each other."

"Hey, Hong'er is really filial, but the old man is really used to living here. Boy, you go back and tell him that I'm fine, so that he doesn't have to worry about it." Yuan Chen said with a sigh.

Shangguan Jinghong picked up the teacup in his hand and drank the tea, and said to himself: "Then bastard had a drink with brother Yuan Hong, he was a little drunk, I really didn't expect such a steadfast Patriarch of the Yuan family She actually shed tears in front of this kid like me."

Yuan Chen's lips twitched slightly when he heard this, but he didn't speak.

Shangguan Jinghong pretended not to see and continued: "He is not suitable to be the head of the family. He is struggling to support a family by himself. To be honest, if it wasn't for the senior, you asked me to bring him the secret knowledge. I'm afraid the Yuan Family will be destroyed forever."

While talking, Shangguan Jinghong took a sneak look at Yuan Chen, drank his saliva and continued: "The whole family, from brothers to clan members, no one can take charge alone. Brother Yuan Hong worries and works hard alone, and he can't make a good profit. The patriarch of the Shangyan family almost... hey, forget it, what are you talking about."

"Well, senior, it will take seven days for my master to open the passage, so I'll stay with you for a few days?"

Yuan Chen didn't listen carefully to the last sentence, but asked: "How did you meet the ancestor of the Yan family?"

"Senior, you live here and don't go out. I told you, but you are just angry, so I don't want to say anything."

"Boy, what do you think the Yan family has done to Hong'er?"

"Hey, well, in fact, this matter is a matter of the Leng family. Brother Yuan Hong values ​​friendship, and he can't understand the Yan family's oppression of the Leng family, and finally provoked the ancestors of the Yan family. Fortunately, my master is here, otherwise you and I may be afraid today. I can’t see you anymore, just like that, my master also got hurt, but the Leng family has my master’s protection, but what about Brother Yuanhong? But I had no choice but to lie to him that you will come to the Leng’s house in a few days, so I can keep him. Otherwise, if he returns to Yuan's house, I think you know better than me how Yan's family behaves, right?" Shangguan Jinghong sipped his tea after finishing speaking, watching Yuan Chen's reaction.

Sure enough, Yuan Chen's eyes were full of anger, and Shangguan Jinghong was just a little secretly happy at the beginning. I just felt like my whole body was frozen, unable to move at all, and said anxiously: "Senior, senior, I'm about to freeze to death!"

When Yuan Chen heard the words, he stopped his momentum: "Shangguan boy, it's okay, I didn't stop it for a while."

Shangguan Jinghong just looked at Yuan Chen in horror, and then reacted: "Senior, you lied to me."

"Oh? Why did the old man lie to you?"

"You said that you have lost all your martial arts, but your aura is as good as my master's. Are you lying to me?"

Yuan Chen laughed: "Boy Shangguan, I understand now, you kid was just trying to provoke me, right?"

Shangguan Jinghong shook his head seriously: "No, what the boy said is the truth, but I used the name of the senior to drive away the ancestors of the Yan family, otherwise the fate of the elder brother Yuan Hong can be imagined. But there is no ally like my master who is equal to the ancestor of the Yan family, right? But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, if the ancestor of the Yan family heard about the existence of the senior, I just said it out of my mouth, then..."

Yuan Chen was silent: "You're right, boy, the old man almost hurt Hong'er in a moment of confusion, um, I'll go out with you."

Shangguan Jinghong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he finally lived up to elder brother Yuan Hong's entrustment: "Great, after seven days, my master will open the passage, and we will go out."

Yuan Chen smiled: "Boy, since you already know that my martial arts are not lost, can you be sure that I can't open it if your master can open it?"

Shangguan Jinghong's heart skipped a beat, darling, this old guy has reached the realm of becoming a saint in one step, no wonder his aura is so tyrannical, and at the same time he couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Senior Yuan, I can explain clearly, even though the things you gave me back then were I thought you got it when you lost all your martial arts, but now you can't go back."

Yuan Chen laughed loudly: "What a Shangguan boy, what kind of person is this old man, don't worry."
