Volume Four, Volume 39, Chapter 15, Exploring the Imperial City at Night
"Ah, Lord Lord..." In the hall of the palace tree, Edward just passed by when he saw Zhang Tie suddenly appeared. Edward was excited and quickly saluted Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie rushed past Edward in a gust of wind. Without even having time to say a word, he rushed to the small tree, picked off the newly born Soul Tribulation Fruit on the small tree, and then stuffed the Soul Tribulation Fruit into his mouth.
He smiled at Edward, and then disappeared under the small tree. The whole process took less than three seconds, leaving Edward with a stunned look on his face...
…
Coming out of the Black Iron Castle again, Zhang Tie was still chewing the latest Soul Tribulation Fruit in his mouth, and he had already sat down cross-legged.
The most recent Soul Tribulation Fruit was eaten by Zhang Tie in the Diyuan Realm. However, although he ate the Soul Tribulation Fruit, Zhang Tie had basically not activated it. It had been a long time since Zhang Tie had eaten the Soul Tribulation Fruit. Zhang Tie almost
They have all forgotten the taste of the Soul Tribulation Fruit.
The strange energy contained in the Soul Tribulation Fruit in his mouth rose like a wisp of green smoke in Zhang Tie's mouth after eating it, and then rushed straight into Zhang Tie's sea of consciousness, merged with Zhang Tie's mental power, and then Zhang Tie
A little light appeared in the sea of consciousness, and a strange hexagonal entrance flew out of the light, suddenly covering Zhang Tie inside, bringing Zhang Tie into a strange realm of soul tribulation.
…
Zhang Tie still appeared in this room.
Zhang Tie stood. In front of him was the demonized puppet that he had just killed. The demonized puppet with blood-red eyes roared and rushed towards Zhang Tie as if it was seeing a huge enemy.
To Zhang Tie, this level nine demonized puppet was like a fly beside him. Zhang Tie didn't bother to pay attention to it at all. Instead, his fighting spirit shook and he smashed a wall of this room into pieces with just one punch.
, amidst the shaking and roaring of the house. Zhang Tie's figure was like lightning. With just one step, he stepped out of the room and arrived at the Guangnan King's Manor.
Everything in the manor was as before, and there was an aura of tranquility everywhere. Except that there was no one around, every plant and tree here was exactly the same as what Zhang Tie saw a few minutes ago.
On the lawn of the garden, the metal cage containing the level 6 black spider is still placed there. There are still blood stains in the cage, and the smell of blood is still in the air of the garden, but there is no black spider in the cage.
The ninth-level demonized puppet followed Zhang Tie and jumped out of the shattered wall. It still rushed towards Zhang Tie with its teeth and claws bared. Zhang Tie pointed out without restraint, and the two calves of the demonized puppet were instantly blown away.
It broke into pieces, and the demonized puppet screamed and fell. Then it continued to crawl on the ground and crawled towards Zhang Tie, as if it wanted to bite Zhang Tie several times, but its speed was faster than before.
It was already more than ten times slower, and the scene in front of me looked very funny.
The world is purified.
Zhang Tie moved his feet, and the powerful mobility brought by Kuafu's blood allowed him to cross a hundred meters in one step, leaving the manor of Guangnan Prince's Mansion and appearing on the street outside the manor.
Everything on the street remains as before, with streetlights, shops, and lively entertainment, exactly as before.
Zhang Tie took a look and found that the street seemed a little different from before. It seemed much emptyer and there were a few things missing.
By the way, it's an alcohol car. The alcohol car that was originally on the street has disappeared at this time. Only the cars parked on both sides of the street can still be seen. Zhang Tie thought about it and found that it seemed to be the soul calamity fruit.
One of the characteristics is that in the realm of soul calamity, these moving objects controlled by people cannot be captured, nor can things carried by others, and anything that is in a state of interaction with people or some ** biological beings.
It can't be captured either.
If these things could be captured, the soul calamity would be truly unbelievable.
But even so, Zhang Tie was very satisfied.
Although I know that there is no fundamental difference between the Xuanyuan Hill in front of me and the Wild Wolf Valley or Qianlong Island in Xiaoshu's eyes, or to Xiaoshu, everything in front of me is just a meaningless arrangement of material elements, or just like
It’s the same as the scenery under the camera. No matter what the scenery is, no matter what handsome guys, beauties or ugly people, no matter what gold, silver, copper and iron, no matter treasures or trash, the same click can leave the same image, looking at the empty Xuanyuan Hill in front of you.
, Looking at the Xuanyuan Hill that was completely open in front of him, Zhang Tie was still a little excited, and he felt a sense of pleasure in cheating in the examination room through the back door...
Zhang Tie ran quickly on the street, rushing towards the Imperial City. The effect of Kuafu's bloodline made Zhang Tie unable to fly at this moment, but his speed on the ground was lightning fast, and he could reach hundreds of meters in one step.
In addition, the flying speed was almost faster than that of ordinary knights. After running for two minutes, Zhang Tie got interested, roared, and jumped directly from the street to the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the street. On that one
The top of a building jumped...
Under the two bright moons, Zhang Tie's figure was seen flying like a meteor on the top of the Xuanyuan Hill building, and the buildings and streets flew back behind him like running water.
Sometimes Zhang Tie's feet would be so strong that he would even collapse the tops of those buildings, but in the realm of soul calamity, no one would jump out to ask for compensation.
The straight-line distance from the Guangnan Prince's Manor to Wuma Bridge is only over 140 kilometers. In less than ten minutes, Zhang Tie stepped on the roof of the building and landed on the tower at the head of Wuma Bridge with a loud bang.
above.
Standing on the city tower, a cool breeze blew against his face. The Jinshui River was still surging, but the city tower was empty. There was no longer a guard or knight in sight. Zhang Tie looked at the direction, jumped up again, and stepped on
On the huge steel structure of Wuma Bridge, in just a few steps, he rushed across Wuma Bridge and entered the scope of the Imperial City.
At first glance, the Imperial City of Xuanyuan Hill is not fundamentally different from other places in Xuanyuan Hill. It’s just that the buildings on both sides of the streets are more orderly, and the various hubs of Taixia can be seen everywhere in the Imperial City.
The residences and signboards of power agencies, these places are all very imposing and majestic. Even the houses in the Imperial City of the Earth have a special temperament.
If Xuanyuan Hill can be regarded as the ground under the feet of Emperor Xuanyuan, then the Imperial City can almost be regarded as under the nose of Emperor Xuanyuan.
As Zhang Tie ran, he recalled the map of the Emperor's Imperial City in Xuanyuan Hill in his mind.
Although ordinary people cannot enter the Great Emperor's Imperial City, the map of the Great Emperor's Imperial City is not a secret. On the map of Xuanyuan Hill that Zhang Tie saw, even the location of the palace in the Great Emperor's Imperial City is marked, as well as other
The central locations of various power agencies in Taixia, as well as the official residences of court ministers such as the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, are clearly marked on the map.
A few minutes later, Zhang Tie's figure fell out of thin air and stood in front of an imposing mansion. He looked up at the large golden characters of "Sinong's Mansion" on the door of the mansion.
The entrance of this official residence is guarded by bronze lions and has white jade steps. There are four rows of lanterns hanging on the door. There are three entrances and exits, one large one in the middle and two small ones next to it. All three doors are tightly closed.
Zhang Tie looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head, walked up the jade steps, and came to the middle door. With just one kick, he blasted the closed door into pieces, and then walked in.
Da Sinong's official residence covers an area of several hundred acres, and is equipped with pavilions, rockeries, gardens, waterside pavilions and ponds.
Zhang Tie was like a curious tourist, strolling around Da Sinong's official residence and looking around. Under the attention of the Eyes of Lotus, everything in this official residence was invisible to Zhang Tie.
There are three underground buildings in the official residence, one of which is the ice room. There are still many ice cubes stored in the ice room to this day.
There is also an underground building that is a wine cellar, and there is also a lot of wine stored in the wine cellar.
The third secret room is a knight's training room. A high-level Yuan Gathering Formation is arranged in the training room, and there are two secret passages in the training room that can leave or enter Da Sinong's mansion without anyone noticing.
For the official residence of one of the Nine Qings of Taixia, Zhang Tie felt that such a secret passage should not be surprising, and judging from the appearance of the secret passage, it should have been built along with the secret passage when the official residence was built.
In the underground of the official residence, except for these three secret rooms, there is nothing eye-catching.
Among the houses above the ground, most of the people living in this official residence are servants or guards in the official residence, and the rooms of these people are not very attractive.
Among the rooms on the ground, there are two buildings that seem to be private treasuries in the official residence. There are some collections of treasures and money in the rooms. Although they are valuable, many of them Zhang Tie has never seen before, but
These money and treasures within the Soul Tribulation are of little value to Zhang Tie.
There is nothing eye-catching among the bedrooms and rooms in the owner's residence.
Zhang Tie walked around the official residence seriously for a long time, and finally came to the study next to the lotus pond in the official residence.
This study is not big, but it is quite quiet, undisturbed, and extremely tidy. As soon as he entered the study, Zhang Tie saw a pair of calligraphy hanging in the study. There were only two words "Guanzhi" on the calligraphy.
The signature on the calligraphy treasure is "Tingshuishan people, Qianlongyue Tubai in the year of Guimao". Next to the signature is a small private seal with three small seal characters "Han Zhengfang"...
Zhang Tie stood in front of this calligraphy and looked at it silently. The three words on the private seal made Zhang Tie's eyes shrink slightly.
Han Zhengfang is the name of Da Sinong, one of the Nine Qings of Taixia today.
Tingshui Shanren must be Han Zhengfang’s self-title and nickname. This is very popular among the upper-class people in Taixia. The Guimao Year is a dating method that has been passed down in Taixia since ancient times and is based on the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches.
If Zhang Tie hadn't worked hard to understand this, I'm afraid he wouldn't know which year the so-called Guimao Year is.
The most recent Guimao year should be 891 in the Heitie calendar. If you push it further forward, every 60 years, one Jiazi, there will be a Guimao year. Looking at the newness of this calligraphy, Zhang Tie judged that it should be correct.
It is the year 891 in the Chengyu Heitie calendar, and Qianlong month is another way of saying November.
If he didn't know Han Zhengfang's other identity, Zhang Tie wouldn't have thought too much about this calligraphy. But now that he knows, he can taste a different flavor when he looks at this calligraphy.
The year 891 of the Black Iron Calendar should be the time when the Holy War just broke out. At this time, in the Hidden Dragon Moon, Han Zhengfang, who colluded with the demons and was the leader of the Tongtian Sect, left such a calligraphy, which is unusual.
The taste is gone.
Guan Zhi, Hidden Dragon, is interesting and ambitious. A sneer appeared on Zhang Tie's face. This time, I will turn your ambitious Hidden Dragon into a dead snake.
After taking a few glances at the calligraphy in front of him, Zhang Tie walked to the bookshelf in the study room and took a look.
The books on the bookshelf were not too special. Most of them were political, epic, and other works. There were no small details such as interlayers in those books. Zhang Tie looked at them and walked towards the desk over there.
On one side of the desk, there are the Four Treasures of the Study, and in an elegant gold folder on top of the desk, there are a bunch of famous cards and invitations. It seems that someone close to Han Zhengfang should have sorted them out and put them here.
Let Han Zhengfang choose.
Zhang Tie picked up the invitation on the top of the gold folder and opened it. Among the invitations, there was a post from Guang Luxun, one of the Nine Qings of Taixia, inviting Han Zhengfang to meet. The post was sent three days ago.
, the time to get together is today...
Looking at the gold folder on the desk, Zhang Tie's eyes flashed. If he generated a Soul Tribulation Fruit every day and came here to see it, wouldn't he be able to grasp Zhao Zhengfang's whereabouts in the Imperial City in advance?
