Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1227 Underwater Palace

"Even though he said that, which one is 'my door'?!"

Countless doors, from ancient times to the present, were neatly arranged in front of him. When he looked back, the white palace door had disappeared without a trace, overlapping with the countless doors of various shapes and sizes.

"He has quite a few users here!" Shangluo looked around - he couldn't even count how many doors there were.

[So, which one is yours? He lets you find it yourself, but doesn't let you open other people's doors? What does that mean? Is your door the most conspicuous among so many doors?]

"Is it that conspicuous? Never mind, let's open one and try."

[Do you open the blind box? ? ? ]

"He didn't tell me which one was mine, so don't blame me if he opened someone else's."

[You actually want to see what's inside the door, right?]

"Well, anyway, let's open one and see. I won't open it randomly, I'll open the most reliable one." He looked around.
There is a door with two red columns supporting a horizontal beam, and the column heads are dyed black. According to the Song Dynasty system, this is the Wutou door used by officials above the sixth rank in their homes.

“This should be mine, right?”

[Are you an official of the sixth rank or above? Does this door look like yours? ]

"I think I am - mainly because this door seems to have some meaning, as if there is some secret inside. Anyway, I won't act anymore, I just want to see it. It was Xu Fu who made the mistake first, he didn't point the way clearly, so it's reasonable for me to go to the wrong door, right?"

He really wanted to see what was inside these doors. After all, Xu Fu had been urging him to eat one pill just now. Although after Shang Luo refused, Xu Fu did not continue to persuade him, but just angrily stuffed the pill into his mouth and asked him to leave. But Shang Luo really wanted to see what he would become after eating it.

The most perfect person does not have dreams, his dreams are about traveling to the immortal world. The real person does not sleep, sleep is just floating clouds and smoke.

Although he didn't want to eat it, he had to admit that this thing was really tempting to outsiders - after all, it was indeed a real elixir of immortality. This medicine could really allow people to escape from the mortal body and travel proudly into the void.

And behind this door is the real area belonging to the Penglai fairyland.

Shangluo pushed open the Wutou door from the Song Dynasty and walked in.

The evening light shone obliquely into the courtyard and onto the corridor. A moon rabbit in red clothes was walking lightly in the corridor. The sound of wind chimes and the evening breeze drifted to my ears, and the sound of drums and harps came from not far away.

[Hmm? Why doesn’t this place look like the style of Kinai?]

"After all, this is still Japan, so I guess there are many clients of Xu Fu. But it seems that this place is not as plain as it looks."

Shangluo could see that the palace on the left was filled with colorful brocades. There were embroidered brocades, flower-studded brocades, and all kinds of colors. There were also porcelain vases—one person tall, weighed in the palm of your hand, with Ru kiln sky-blue and Jun kiln iridescent vases, all piled up there.

At the end of the corridor, where the sound of drums and music came from, there was a hall emitting faint light.

[Hey, Shangluo, look up at the sky. ]

"Hmm?" Shangluo raised his head. The sky was not the sky, but the sparkling sea. The sunlight swayed with the waves of the sea, and the sunlight under the water was even more colorful.

"Is this under the sea? But I seem to be able to breathe normally. There is such a palace under the sea?"

He was looking up when he heard hurried footsteps in front of him.

"Oh! Are you a guest from the Song Kingdom? Come in and have a seat! The Prime Minister is waiting for you! The Prime Minister has been waiting for you!"

"Prime Minister?" Shang Luo looked up at the bottom of the sea. "Ah! So this is his territory."

【Who? 】

"Taira no Kiyomori. This is his underwater imperial capital." A monk in a purple brocade robe sat in the hall, and the nobles in their best glory sat beside him. They were wearing dazzling brocade, and the cups in their hands were also wine vessels made in famous kilns in the Song Dynasty.

Although he is a monk, he does everything.

Seeing Shangluo coming, the monk stood up. "A guest from Song! Come, come, please sit down."

He raised his cup and motioned Shangluo to sit next to him.

Shangluo walked in and sat down next to him.

[Taira no Kiyomori? Who is this? ]

"Around the 12th century, the leader of the Taira clan was a prime minister in Japan. He accumulated a huge amount of wealth through trade with the Song Dynasty and maintained good personal relationships with many officials along the coast of the Song Dynasty. The wealth gained through trade made the Taira clan extremely prosperous. However, after the death of Taira no Kiyomori, the Taira clan disappeared like dew - in the Genpei War, the Minamoto clan killed them all the way from Kamakura. The Minamoto clan had a man named Minamoto no Yoshitsune who made a name for himself in the war like a god of war."

[So they are all finished?]

"Well, in the final battle, the Heike took the King of Wa and the three sacred treasures and confronted Minamoto no Yoshitsune on the sea. Minamoto no Yoshitsune was a man of no moral integrity. He shot and killed the non-combatants, then jumped on the boats and overturned eight boats by himself. The Heike did not surrender in the end, but jumped into the sea with the three sacred treasures and the young King of Wa who was only 8 years old. Their last words were: Under the sea, there is also the imperial capital."

【Ah this.】

"Come, come, come!" Taira no Kiyomori raised his glass, "He is a guest from the Song Dynasty."

"Yeah." Shangluo also raised his glass, but didn't drink it.

"Song Dynasty, how are you these days? Actually, I've said long ago that one day I would build a big ship like the ones in Song Dynasty, bring my family property to Song Dynasty, buy land, and become a citizen of Song Dynasty."

“Actually, you can also live in the next life.”

"I don't talk about afterlife. I want to be a Song Dynasty man in this life. You know, I built an artificial island in deep water so that the Song Dynasty's giant ships can dock directly at the port. The sea god didn't want me to do that, so he used the waves to destroy it. I sank 200 ships in one breath as a foundation, and sacrificed 49 virgins to the Dragon Palace, and only then did the waves calm down. I have correspondence with the brother of your Song Dynasty emperor, and he is really a good man! He gave me many calligraphy and paintings."

"Ah yes."

[That's true. I looked through the history books and found that he and the governor of Mingzhou were pen pals. This guy is an avid Song fan.]

"I say, Prime Minister Ping," Shangluo asked, "Do you know how to get out?"

"Are you leaving now?"

"I want to go back to my country. Coming here was an accident. How can I go back?"

"Easy! This is easy. I built a big merchant ship, carrying gold and silver and is about to cross the East China Sea. The big ship is..." He looked around and looked up:

"Eh? Why is my big ship in the sky? Could it be that I am at the bottom of the sea?"

Suddenly, something seemed to break, and the sky suddenly darkened. A drop of water fell down.
"Oh, sorry!! Sorry!" Shangluo stood up quickly, "Excuse me! I'll talk to you next time!"

——He slammed the door shut, blocking the seawater rushing in. Shangluo breathed a sigh of relief.

[That’s why I told you not to go in there! He was dreaming peacefully in there, but you made him think about when he could leave.]

"It shouldn't be a problem." He turned around and opened the door a crack again. When he opened it the second time, everything inside was the same as before, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"It's okay. It's okay." He closed the door with confidence, "I'll open something else."

[Don't open it randomly! They are sleeping, don't disturb them! Open a more reliable one! ]
