2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 87 Golden Aura
The perception of the soul floated to an infinite height, and Du Heng came to the Taoist Palace again, sat on the lotus platform, focused his eyes, and saw the picture of hundreds of feet around the inn where he lived.

A personal figure emerged in the screen, and auras of different colors lit up on these figures, which represented his aptitude potential.

"The top 20 people on the list, 14 people have come besides me." Du Heng looked at the scene on the screen and secretly said, "Among them, there are [-] people in white, five in cyan, and one in purple...

"Sure enough, even if they are in the top [-], there are very few people who can reach the blue color. Brother Xubai and sister Xuyue are blue, Chu Jiu and Zhong are also blue, and there is another person I don't know.

"The only purple color is Hui Zhi, that little monk from Liantai Mountain. Does this mean that he may break through to the realm of Shenmen in the future?"

Three years ago, Hui Zhi followed his elders to Jinxia Mountain, and had a brief exchange with Du Heng. Although there was no contact later, it was considered an acquaintance.

"Huizhi can be used as an alternative, but we still need to figure out his attitude towards the court before making a decision."

Du Heng selected a person, and was about to withdraw from the Dao Palace, but suddenly saw a very dazzling golden light enter the screen displayed in the Dao Palace.

"What is this, so dazzling, golden legend?!"

Afterwards, he took a closer look, and immediately laughed again, "So it's Senior Sister Cheng, well, with her aptitude, it's normal to have a golden potential aptitude."

At this moment, Du Heng had already seen clearly the figure shining with golden aura.

It was Cheng Yujun.

She can be said to be a born swordsman, and she has shown extremely dazzling aptitude since she was a child, and she is also favored by countless people, who think that she can become a female sword god like Tianjian in the future.

"Do you want to pull Senior Sister Cheng in?" Du Heng fell into deep thought, secretly said, "With Senior Sister Cheng's aptitude and strength, she can definitely provide a lot of help for my future plans.

"This should be regarded as an opportunity for her. With the background of Zhujian Pavilion, it may be difficult to bring her any improvement after she reaches the Divine Gate Realm."

After some thought, he made a decision and planned to pull Cheng Yujun into the Dao Palace.

"It's best not to pull too many people for the first time, two or three are enough." Du Heng closed his eyes slightly, and thoughts turned in his mind, "If Hui Zhi is not suitable, first pull Senior Sister Cheng in, and then randomly come from the unknown." Pull a golden aptitude in the fog area.

"If Huizhi is suitable, then add another him, and there will be a total of three people. In the early stage, three people are enough, and we can expand to do a lot of things.

"Next, it depends on what Tian Xing wants to do at the Tianjiao Banquet."

……

Zhongzhou Nanshan County City.

In the ancient Zhou Dynasty, it was once a world-renowned prosperous city. There was an endless stream of merchants and pedestrians coming and going. People in the market crowded shoulder to shoulder, and almost every shop along the street was prosperous.

But now it is deserted here, there are very few pedestrians on the spacious streets, not to mention shops, not even a hawker walking around the streets.

If it weren't for the occasional armored soldiers passing by on the street, it would almost make people suspect that this place is a dead city.

In fact, this Nanshan county city is indeed not far from the dead city.

Since 16 years ago, Chen Ju usurped Zhou and proclaimed himself emperor, the country was named Dazhao, Jianyuan Huangjia, and the former emperor Li Bian was conferred the title of Nanshan Gong and placed under house arrest here. The once prosperous and prosperous scene no longer exists. .

The imperial court does not allow any entertainment, singing and dancing, playing and singing, and other things that are regarded as fun, and does not allow vendors to bring goods into the city for sale, and even the travel of ordinary people is greatly restricted.

This makes many people completely unable to adapt.

But it didn't take long, with the news that the former prince Li Yin tried to assassinate the emperor Chen Ju, the situation in Nanshan County became more serious, and the people were ordered not to go out.

Moreover, this kind of situation is not just a day or two, but continues forever, no one knows when it will end, it seems that there will never be an end.

As time went by, more and more people couldn't hold on, and people began to flee from Nanshan County, and it became more and more serious and out of control.

Up to now, this Nanshan county city has become so lifeless and lifeless.

But in the center of this "dead city", a very luxurious mansion was built.

Whether it is masonry tiles, or purlin wood columns and beams, they are all made of high-quality materials, and the carvings are also extremely exquisite. All the standards are reproduced according to the old royal courtyard.

This is the place where the former emperor Li Bian was put under house arrest by the Dazhao court.

In the beginning, Li Bian could still walk around in this garden.

But as Li Yin's failure to assassinate Chen Ju was exposed, he was ordered to stay in his bedroom only. From then on, he had completely lost all freedom.

In the early morning of the second day of March in the sixth year of Chonghe, Li Bian woke up from his sleep when the sky was just getting dark, got up and opened the window, first looked at the scene outside, and then looked in the direction of the imperial city.

He is an old man who looks to be about 60 years old, with half-black hair and normal wrinkles on his face. He seems to be an ordinary old man who is in the process of aging.

However, this simple and unrestrained toga gave him a sense of chic.

Li Bian looked in the direction of the imperial city for a long time, didn't know what to look at, and then laughed out loud, "Hahaha, yes, yes, the thief who steals the country should end up like this! "

Then he closed the window again, returned to the table, opened the two boxes of pastries that had just been delivered, and poured himself another glass of fine wine.

Although he is under house arrest here and cannot even leave his bedroom, he still has delicious food and wine every day.

Li Bian picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, nodded and said with a smile: "It tastes good, but unfortunately it's not rich enough, just like this stolen national fortune, it's just a castle in the air.

"I hope the prince can succeed this time!"

……

On the third day of March in the sixth year of Chonghe, the Tianjiao banquet was held in the imperial city, and the emperor would also come to the banquet in person, which can be described as extremely grand.

From the place where the banquet guests lived to the palace, there was a guard of honor lined up along the way, and the momentum was so huge that many people were envious, wishing that they were also among the top [-] powerhouses.

At this time, Du Heng was walking with Cheng Yujun to the palace for a banquet, but when he passed the crowd, he suddenly felt a strange trace of power remaining.

Ahead is the periphery of the palace.

Du Heng frowned slightly, and secretly said: "Is it the arrangement left by Tian Xing on purpose, or is there another force intervening, and what is the purpose?"
