My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 140 Undercurrent
Tiandu, Xie Mansion.

When Xie Yao returned home, it was already the time when the lanterns were turned on. Today, the emperor vomited blood in the main hall, and Xie Yao sensed something was wrong. Although he was not a great scholar, he was already very sensitive to the green energy of the city protector in the Confucian realm, and he clearly felt that the emperor was protecting the city. The city's green energy fluctuated, and then the emperor vomited blood.

And the thunder that resounded throughout the world gave him a sense of sadness.

"Master~" The pretty maid who was waiting saw Xie Yao coming back and quickly stepped forward to help him undress.

"No need, have Hui'er and Yun'er come back? Tell them to come see me quickly!" Xie Yao waved his hand.

"Yes, the two young masters have returned! I'll go and invite you, my servant!" the maid agreed, bowed and retreated.

Xie Yao went straight to his study and asked people to guard it outside the courtyard. In the courtyard where the study was located, no one was allowed to approach except brothers Xie Hui and Xie Yun.

After entering the room, Xie Yao went straight to the bookshelf. After turning a vase three times, the bookshelf began to move slowly, and a secret passage appeared.

Xie Yao went straight in and came out after a while with a bamboo slip.

Nowadays, Daqian paper books have long been popular, and bamboo slips like this are almost extinct on the market.

The bamboo slips are obviously old, and even the handwriting recorded on them is not the current writing, but recorded in ancient characters.

Carefully opening the yellowed bamboo slips, Xie Yao glanced at them.

"Dad, are you looking for us?" A knock on the door was accompanied by Xie Hui's voice.

"Come in!" Xie Yao responded, but his eyes never left the bamboo slips.

Two young men pushed open the door and entered. One of them, who was slightly younger, said impatiently: "Dad, I heard that His Majesty suddenly vomited blood today in the Chaotian Palace?"

"How many times have I told you, be cautious when things happen, and learn from your elder brother!" Xie Yao looked at his second son with some dissatisfaction. He was too frivolous. On the contrary, although his eldest son Xie Hui was a concubine, Xie Yao valued him for his well-mannered manners.

"Yes, yes." Xie Yun curled his lips secretly.

"It's enough to say it once!" Xie Yao shouted angrily as a vein burst out from his forehead.

"Yes, I know." Xie Yun straightened his expression and said.

"Dad, my son went to Qintian Prison today. He wanted to visit Jian Zheng, but he didn't see him. According to Situ Nan, the disciple of Jian Zheng, Cao Jingzhong came to deliver the order today. After being rejected by Jian Zheng, Jian Zheng disappeared. , did not return to Qintian Prison, my father asked me to wait, but for this matter?" Xie Hui bowed.

"Yes, that's right." Xie Yao nodded with satisfaction: "What I told you two today is a major matter related to the future of our Xie family. Today's thunder can be heard."

"Of course, where did that thunder come from?" Xie Yun nodded, somewhat puzzled.

The sky is clear and the sky is clear, and the city is protected by green energy, but even so, it feels like the sky is about to collapse.

"It should be Dongzhou!" Xie Yao pointed to the bamboo slips on the table and said, "This thing was obtained by my Xie family since the previous dynasty. It records some secrets of heaven and earth. If nothing else, it should be Zhang Yuqing who destroyed it. Great Qian Luck, and whenever the Luck collapses, heaven and earth will drop a rare treasure called the Mountain and River Seal, and if you obtain it, you can gain the support of the sect behind Qin Tianjian."

Seeing his two sons' surprised expressions, Xie Yao smiled and said: "800 years ago, the founder of Daqian got this thing and established the foundation of Daqian for 800 years."

"Mountain and River Seal? Magical weapon? What's so special about this thing?" Xie Yun asked doubtfully.

"I don't know. It is said that those who hold this object can turn bad luck into good luck, and there will be immortals to help." Xie Yao shook his head.

"What immortals are, they are just the so-called immortal sects of Taoism." Xie Yun said disdainfully. There were many fifth-grade people in the imperial court. Counting back, Daqian also produced third-grade Confucianists. According to rumors, the founding emperor was a first-grade martial artist. In Xie Yun's eyes, the so-called immortal sect is just a power established by people who have practiced for a long time. They cannot be contaminated by the world of mortals. They can only hide in the mountains and old forests and practice hard. What's the point of living like that, no matter how long you live?
"Shut up!" Xie Yao glared at his son and said, "Don't forget, Jian Zheng is also a member of the Immortal Sect."

No one knows how high Qin Tian Jian Zheng's cultivation level is, but it must be above the fifth level. Otherwise, he would not have such a transcendent status in Da Qian.

After all, there are many masters in Daqian. If Jianzheng's cultivation is too poor, how can he maintain his aloof status in Daqian?

Of course, behind this transcendence, there is also the influence of the sect behind him.

"Father is saying that today's vision of the heaven and earth is related to this mountain and river seal?" Xie Hui looked at Xie Yao and said.

"Yes." Xie Yao nodded and said, "Today's vision is exactly the same as the records of the decline of the previous dynasty, so my father wants you to go to Dongzhou and find your uncle to see if you can find this mountain and river seal?"

If the Xie family can get the Mountain and River Seal, maybe the whole world will be named Xie.

"Father, don't worry, my son will leave tomorrow." Xie Hui nodded, and then said: "Father, I don't know what this mountain and river seal looks like?"

"There is no record of this, but you should know it if you go to Dongzhou."

"How do you find this!?" Xie Yun said in astonishment.

"You are the only one who talks a lot." Xie Yao glared at him and said, "Remember, we are going to Dongzhou and meet up with your uncle as soon as possible. With this big movement, I am afraid there are many forces going to Dongzhou."

"Yes!" Xie Hui and Xie Yun agreed upon hearing this. Seeing that Xie Yao had no other instructions, they stood up and left.

Not only the Xie family, but also the Cui family, the Murong family and other large families with a long history, all know more or less about the mountain and river seals.

...The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.

Ji Huan looked at the roof with a languid expression and let the imperial doctor take his pulse.

After a long time, the imperial doctor respectfully put Ji Huan's hand back into the silk quilt, bowed and said: "Your Majesty's body is not abnormal. You just need to rest peacefully, take some soothing and replenishing decoction, and rest for a while." Can."

Ji Huan ignored him and just waved his hand to signal him to retreat.

Cao Jingzhong hesitated for a moment and then went out.

"Mr. Chen, is your Majesty really okay?" Cao Jingzhong stopped the doctor and asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Cao, there is indeed nothing abnormal about Your Majesty's body. It's just that for some unknown reason, your Qi and blood are severely deficient. It doesn't seem like you are overindulging in lust." Doctor Chen nodded, then frowned and said, "I have been studying medicine for many years, and it seems that This is the first time His Majesty has experienced symptoms like this today."

"Thank you." Cao Jingzhong nodded: "I will send the imperial doctor to you."

"Mr. Cao is interested, but let's take care of your majesty first. This medicinal stone will come second. If your majesty can keep a cheerful mood, many diseases can actually be cured without medicine." Dr. Chen shook his head and saluted Cao Jingzhong. : "I'll take my leave first."

"Go slowly!" Cao Jingzhong nodded and asked a young eunuch to take Doctor Chen out of the palace.

"Father, His Majesty is calling you." A eunuch came out and whispered when he saw Cao Jingzhong.

"I know." Cao Jingzhong nodded, entered the Yangxin Hall, came to Ji Huan's couch, bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"Jingzhong, how long have you been following me?" Ji Huan asked with a sigh.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been 39 years since I became your Majesty's attendant." Cao Jingzhong bowed.

"In 39, when I was just a young man, I didn't even think that one day I would be the emperor. My father wanted to pass the throne to me, and it was you who worked hard to help me ascend the throne. I remember that it was you who helped me in the battle over the foundation of the country. Jiang Song came over from Cryptomeria sect." Ji Huan said with emotion.

"Why did your Majesty suddenly say these things?" Cao Jingzhong said with some fear.

"The country is unstable, and my time seems to be running out." Ji Huan looked a little gloomy: "Among the disciples, who do you think can succeed the emperor?"

Cao Jingzhong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period. The imperial doctor said..."

"Don't pay attention to the words of those quack doctors. What do they know? I know my situation very well." Ji Huan waved his hand and said: "There are some things that ordinary people don't understand, but I know that my time is coming, but this country Now that it's like this, I've thought about it all, but no one can take over this country, so I really don't feel at ease about leaving."

"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong kowtowed quickly and said: "Please don't say such words again, this servant will be frightened~"

"Jingzhong, I can only trust you now." Ji Huan lost his voice and said, "There is something I want you to do for me."

"Your Majesty, please tell me, even if I am torn to pieces, I will still accomplish this for Your Majesty." Cao Jingzhong kowtowed.

"Go to Dongzhou!" Ji Huan took out a jade pendant from under his pillow. Magic power surged in his hand, and a three-dimensional projection of a seal appeared in front of Cao Jingzhong: "If you find this thing, try to bring it back."

The seal is somewhat similar to the emperor's jade seal. It is shiny and white, but the difference is that it is engraved with mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars, exuding an ancient atmosphere.

"The changes in the world are related to this thing. Bringing it back may help me survive for a while." Ji Huan lost his mind and said.

"My servant obeys the order." Cao Jingzhong raised his head, remembered the appearance of the seal, and bowed, "I will definitely bring this thing back."

"Don't force it. There are too many people fighting for this thing. Since it came out, I haven't heard of any court that can get it. Do your best to obey fate. Regardless of whether you get it or not, you have to come back. I... can still trust you now There are not many people left." Ji Huan shook his head.

"Your Majesty~" Cao Jingzhong's nose felt sore, he closed his eyes and said with tears, "Even if this slave is shattered into pieces, we must still recover him."

"Go ahead and bring more masters." Ji Huan waved his hand and said, "Don't force it. If you can't do it, try to kill more masters from aristocratic families for me."

"My servant obeys the order!" Cao Jingzhong bowed again.

"In addition..." Ji Huan was silent for a moment and then said: "Inform all the princes about this news. If one of them can get it, then the throne will be handed over to this person."

Cao Jingzhong stiffened when he heard Ji Huan's words, which were like explaining the funeral affairs, and then nodded and said: "I obey the order!"

Seeing that Ji Huan had no other instructions, Cao Jingzhong stood up silently, bowed and exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"Father!" After leaving the Yangxin Hall, a eunuch came over.

"Have you heard everything?" Cao Jingzhong took a deep breath and asked.

"I heard it. Is this news blocked?"

"No, please send someone to inform all the princes." Cao Jingzhong shook his head: "Inform your other brothers and prepare. We will set off to Dongzhou overnight."

"Yes~"

　After thinking about it, I might as well post it. Firstly, I will continue to thank Mr. Nuanyang, and secondly, there will be as many nodes as possible in this map.
