Chapter 338 The Truth About the Old Nun and the Underground Palace of Tenryuji Temple

Liu Xing was a little puzzled, what was going on with this wordless book, the temperature had exceeded 100 degrees, and the pages of the book shone pink, like peach blossoms.

Isn’t the Wordless Book white? Why did it turn pink?

Liu Xing couldn't figure it out, he checked the heavenly book repeatedly, from the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, and checked the pages of the heavenly book one by one.

"Emperor..."

At this time, Nie Xiaoqian finally couldn't help herself, and whispered, "Grandfather, I...I'm fine."

Liu Xing said: "Why is it all right? The pages of the book are so red that they are almost on fire!"

"..." Nie Xiaoqian was at a loss for words, and after a while, she said weakly, "I'm just a little excited because I have a new body, so my face... turned red."

"Blushing?" Liu Xing heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out to be blushing. This was not the first time he encountered such a thing. Last time when Hua Yingxue turned into a laptop, a red screen also appeared.

"It's fine." Liu Xing closed the pink book and asked again, "Xiaoqian, can you sense the contents of the book now?"

After several attempts, Nie Xiaoqian replied, "Grandfather, I'm sorry, but I still can't read the contents of the book..."

Hearing this, Liu Xing sighed secretly, it seemed that he still couldn't know what kind of book this heavenly book was.

This heavenly book has gathered the power of heaven and earth for decades at the bottom of Longtan, and the energy of self-defense is no small matter. Liu Xing does not have enough magic power to tear off the pages of the heavenly book.

Liu Xing originally suspected that this wordless bible might be "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" written by Pu Songling, a famous novelist in the Qing Dynasty, because there was a short story named "Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".

However, "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" contains only short stories, and the chapters of "Nie Xiaoqian" are only a few thousand words.

With such a small number of words, it is almost impossible to be absorbed.

The most important thing about rapt reading is imagination, and words are the basis for stimulating imagination.If there are too few words, there will be too many blank spots left, and it will be impossible to immerse yourself in it.

There is a theory in Huaxia Kingdom's reading skills that a novel must have at least 20 words in order to be absorbed.

Among all the novels that Liu Xing has been absorbed in, the word count has never been less than 20 words.

"Nie Xiaoqian" in "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" has only a few thousand words, which obviously does not meet the minimum standard of ecstasy.

Therefore, Liu Xing decided that the wordless book in front of him should not be "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio". As for what kind of book it was, it was really difficult to guess for a while.

This heavenly book can condense soul consciousness and form a ghost body. Liu Xing called the heavenly book "ghost book" for the time being.

This ghost book is a fairy tale of burying the soul, and Liu Xing decided to take it away.

"Xiaoqian, are you willing to leave this forest with me?" Liu Xing asked suddenly, if he took away the ghost book, Nie Xiaoqian could only leave with him.

There were no female ghosts in the Chinese world, and the reason why Nie Xiaoqian survived was because of the protection of the strange rules condensed in the ghost book.Once she leaves the scope of the ghost book's rules, Nie Xiaoqian will immediately lose her soul.

"Engong, you want to take me away?" Nie Xiaoqian thought she had heard wrong.

Liu Xing explained: "This ghost book is related to the life of a friend of mine. I have to take it away. You are a female ghost and cannot leave the guardianship of the ghost book. Therefore, I want to take you away together. I don't know if you are willing." ?”

Hearing that the temperature of the ghost book rose again, Nie Xiaoqian was so excited that her whole body was boiling with excitement. She lived alone in the woods for more than a year, and thought that she would never see the sun again.Now, Engong is going to take her away, so she is naturally very happy.

"If there is no objection, this matter will be settled."

After speaking, Liu Xing put away the ghost book and hid it in his arms.

"..." Nie Xiaoqian.

This is the first time she and the shadow man met today, and the shadow man hid her in his arms, and still had close contact with her. I'm really... very sorry...

Thinking of this, the pages of the ghost book turned redder, like a delicate red cherry.

At this moment, a white dove flew over from the front and landed on the branch next to Liu Xing. This white dove was naturally Hua Yingxue.

"Yingxue, how is Lan Lan?"

"Lanlan is fine. She was originally investigating female ghosts on the west side of the woods. After seeing the burning flames in Longtan, she is about to come to Longtan to investigate." Baige introduced.

"This girl still doesn't stop, let her investigate if she wants to." Liu Xing changed the subject, "Yingxue, let's go to Tianlong Temple first."

White Pigeon asked, "What are you doing at Tianlong Temple?"

"I sensed that there is a palace under the Tianlong Temple. There are some strange things in the palace. I want to take a look."

Before, due to the influence of the strange law of the ghost book, Liu Xing lost his perception ability in this forest.Now that the ghost book has been subdued by Liu Xing, his perception ability has been restored.

Liu Xing's spiritual sense just swept across the area within a few hundred meters, and found that there is another mystery in the underground of Tianlong Temple, it seems that there is a large underground palace.

"Let's go."

With a bang, Liu Xing turned into a black eagle again, and it flew away from the woods with the white dove, passed Longtan, and went straight to Tianlong Temple.

Under the night, Tianlong Temple was still silent, and the black eagle and white pigeon fell on the pillars of a ruined temple on the east side of Tianlong Temple.

Looking around, weeds were overgrown near the ruined temple, and it was a mess. Opposite the gate of the ruined temple, there stood an ancient pagoda named Dragon Pagoda, which was one of the landmark buildings of Tianlong Temple.

Eight long dragons are carved on the body of the Dragon Pagoda, and the eight golden dragon heads gather on the top of the tower, which looks quite imposing.

This dragon tower has been abandoned for a long time, and the iron gate at the entrance is full of rust.

"The Dragon Tower is the entrance to the underground palace."

Hei Diao reminded, and flew into the Dragon Pagoda from a small window, followed by the white dove.

The tower was empty, and the two birds found a hearth on the first floor of the Dragon Tower. There was a secret passage inside the hearth, leading to the ground.

The black eagle and the white pigeon flew into the stove and went down the dark passage. After a while, a square passage appeared in the ground, and there was an iron door in front of the passage.

The iron gate is about four meters high, made of fine steel, more than 50 centimeters thick and weighs a hundred tons.

The iron door was tightly locked, with only one opening the size of a matchbox, which was a vent.

The black eagle and the white dove were too big to fly through the air vent, so they had to deform again.

"72 Changes" fairy formula is turned around.

"Change!"

In a moment, the black eagle and the white dove turned into jade bees at the same time, buzzing, and easily flew through the opening of the iron gate.

Behind the iron gate, there is another pitch-black passage. The passage twists and turns like a maze. After flying for a few minutes, the two Jade Bees arrived at the end of the passage.

Another iron gate blocked the way.

It's just that the iron gate in front of me has no opening and is almost completely closed, even the Jade Bee cannot fly in.

"Brother Jie, there is no way."

"There are tiny gaps in this iron gate, we turned into air and floated in."

"Air?"

"Change!"

Suddenly, the two Jade Bees disappeared out of thin air, turning into two masses of transparent air, or wind.

call--

With the sound of the wind blowing gently, two groups of air passed through the gap of the iron door less than 0.1 mm wide, and entered the space behind the iron door, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw a grand underground palace in front of me. The palace was about ten meters high and resplendent. Eight golden dragon statues were placed in front of the hall. Each golden dragon was about three meters long.

The eight golden dragons are entrusted with gold chains, and the gold chains are all pulling a golden throne. The throne is like a huge open book, and it is full of dragon-shaped reliefs, shining golden light and magnificent.

This throne is a dragon chair!
The dragon chair that the ancient Chinese emperor sat on!

"Why is there a royal dragon chair here?" Hua Yingxue, who was floating in the air, looked around and asked strangely, "Could it be that this was a royal palace before?"

"It shouldn't be wrong." Liu Xing, who was also floating in the air, said, "Except for the imperial palace, who would dare to build such a palace without permission?"

Hua Yingxue was puzzled: "Where is Tianlong Temple? Why is there an imperial palace? Which dynasty left it?"

"This imperial palace should be a secret palace built by the last emperor of China, Huang Lingtian."

"Huang Lingtian?"

"Yes." Liu Xing floated forward, came to the dragon chair in front of the palace, and said, "It is said that Huang Lingtian is addicted to books. He is an out-and-out bookworm. The greatest hobby in his life is reading novels. He collects Huang Lingtian has more than 1000 million volumes of imperial literature, and he is the emperor with the largest collection of books in the history of China. In addition, Huang Lingtian also built his own palace into a palace of books. The dragon chair he sat on, the dragon bed he slept on, and the dragon palace he lived in It is related to books, and even the dishes for dinner are cooked in the shape of books by the imperial chef. Therefore, Huang Lingtian has the reputation of "Book Emperor".

"Book Emperor?" Hua Yingxue was curious, "Brother Jie, how do you know these things?"

Liu Xingdao: "I saw it in the historical records of the Book King's Secret Chamber."

Huang Lingtian was the last emperor of Huaxia Kingdom. He was born more than 100 years ago, which is not a long time. However, there are very few historical materials about Huang Lingtian in Huaxia Kingdom. Even many historians know little about Huang Lingtian.

Since the imperial power system was overthrown more than 100 years ago, Huang Lingtian was executed.

The Huaxia Kingdom was originally a feudal country, and the autocratic imperial power system ruled the Huaxia Kingdom for more than 4000 years. There have been more than 300 emperors in the history of the Huaxia Kingdom.

Until more than 100 years ago, Chinese scholars were dissatisfied with the unequal system of imperial power, and launched a massive reading movement across the country. These scholars established the "Reading League" in the name of book clubs.

After several years of planning, the Reading League continued to expand its power, secretly win people's hearts, and finally broke into the imperial palace of the imperial capital, executed the then emperor Huang Lingtian, and overthrew the imperial power system that had ruled China for more than 4000 years in one fell swoop.

After the fall of the imperial power, the Huaxia Kingdom once entered a chaotic situation. Hundreds of novel genres began to fight among themselves, fighting for power for their own genres. The reading alliance would soon disintegrate, and the entire country would become a mess.

Until more than 40 years ago, the four major book kings were born. They gathered the strengths of hundreds of schools, impressed scholars all over the world with their amazing talents, led hundreds of novel genres, created four new genres, and formed a reading alliance .

Since then, the Reading Alliance headed by the Four Great Book Kings has become the highest management organization in Huaxia Kingdom. In the blink of an eye, more than 40 years have passed.

"Huang Lingtian has been dead for more than 100 years, and this palace should have been there for more than 100 years, right?" Hua Yingxue floated back and forth around the dragon chair, and asked again, "But why is the palace built underground?"

"This should be a secret palace." Liu Xing speculated, "Huang Lingtian is an emperor who knows how to enjoy himself. He built countless palaces and kept countless concubines in captivity."

"It is indeed extravagant." Hua Yingxue looked at the eight golden dragon statues in front of her, "The cost of this golden dragon is enough to build a small building..."

Swish!
The two were chatting, at this time, there were slight footsteps outside the palace, and someone was walking towards the palace.

Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue floated aside, watching the changes quietly.

Not long after, a figure appeared in the palace. The person who came was an old woman with wrinkled face and gray Taoist robes. She was the old nun who was guarding the gate of Tianlong Temple before.

The old nun walked slowly to the center of the palace, looked at the golden dragon chair above the palace, bent her knees, knelt down, saluted the empty dragon chair, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my concubine has I want to report a great event to you. Half an hour ago, Lord Samsara was burned to death by the phoenix in Longtan and turned into ashes, and my concubine finally avenged his family's destruction."

After a pause, the old nun said again, "Your Majesty, the concubine has already asked Mudan to deceive the Twelve Disciples of Reincarnation's "General Outline of the Rhythm of Emotions" to open the Hall of Reincarnation. If your majesty is in the spirit of heaven, please bless Mudan with all the best."

After finishing speaking, the old nun bowed three times to the empty dragon chair.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue in the air were greatly surprised.

"Could this old nun be Huang Lingtian's concubine?" Hua Yingxue couldn't believe it. "When the imperial power was overthrown, wasn't the entire royal family executed? Huang Lingtian and his concubine are still alive?"

Liu Xingdao: "It's not surprising. Empress Huangling has more than three thousand palace beauties, and he has so many secret palaces. It is possible for some concubines to survive."

Hua Yingxue thought of something, and said again: "If this old nun is really Huang Lingtian's concubine, she should be over 100 years old, right?"

Liu Xingdao: "The old nun hides her secrets. Her daughter Huang Mudan is still so young in her 60s. It can be seen that the old nun's beauty skills are indispensable. She has lived in Tianlong Temple for more than 30 years just to assassinate Lord Samsara. Perseverance is not comparable to ordinary people..."

Just as he was talking, at this moment, the old nun kneeling in the palace said again: "Your Majesty the Book Emperor, it's getting late, and the concubine is leaving."

After finishing speaking, she kowtowed three more times to the dragon chair before the old nun slowly got up and left through a secret passage on the left side of the palace.

After the old nun walked away, Liu Xing and Hua Yingxue flashed out of the air at the same time, turning into human shapes.

"The old nun seems to be a real concubine!" Hua Yingxue couldn't believe it. The imperial power has disappeared for more than 100 years, and now the emperor's concubine is still alive. "Brother Jie, what does this old nun want to do?"

"Let me show you something first."

At this time, Liu Xing walked to the eight golden dragons in the palace. The eight golden dragons seemed to be decorations, but in fact they had other secrets. It was a simple formation.

Liu Xing has just carefully calculated that the eight golden dragons are arranged according to the "separation and combination" in the "General Outline of Plot Rhythm". trend.

If you want to break through this dragon formation, you have to go against the trend.

In the situation of separation and combination, separation means combination, and combination means separation.

boom!
With a wave of Liu Xing's hands, the eight gravitational fluctuations dissipated, entangled the heads of the eight dragons, and with a sudden pull, the eight heads were instantly gathered together.

The dragon formation suddenly changed, and the eight dragons dispersed after them, and a wave of weak waves dispersed towards the dragon chair behind.

hum!
After the formation was broken, the dragon chair was slowly closed like an open giant book.

When the dragon chair was closed, a golden door opened behind the dragon chair, leading to another palace.

Seeing this scene, Hua Yingxue's pretty face was startled: "Brother Jie, what's behind the dragon chair?"

"It should be the dormitory where Huang Lingtian lived with a group of concubines." Liu Xing suggested, "Let's go, take a look in the dormitory, and experience the corrupt life of the last emperor in China."

"..." Hua Yingxue.

After finishing speaking, the two walked into the golden gate behind the dragon chair together...
