The Queen thought about it carefully and found that there really was nothing to plan.
The prince has been appointed, his position has been stable in the past few years, and he has won the Holy Heart. There is no need for her to add fuel to the fire.
Since the emperor resolutely replaced the deposed prince, the courtiers have been in awe of him. They all surrendered to the prince chosen by the emperor, so there is no need to worry.
There are several imperial doctors who are fully responsible for the prince's health. The prince's health and safety are connected with their own and the lives of the nine tribes, so there is no need to worry.
The Crown Princess, whose natal family has declined, is well-educated and has a grandson...
It really seemed like there was nothing to plan for.
The queen couldn't stop laughing. She had nowhere to use the wealth that everyone hoped for. Her son also missed out on the position that others worked so hard to occupy.
"That's all, put it away first." The queen ordered Ruliu, "When the prince comes next time, ask him if it is of any use."
Li Qingzheng entered the palace again at night, accompanied by the chief minister, and looked over the palace's protective array base.
The great worshiper introduced as he walked: "Actually, the palace's protective array bases are all standard. There are formation diagrams in the worship hall, which are changed every fifty years. The real core is in the underground imperial tomb..."
"Where?" Yan Qingzheng was surprised.
"To be fair to the princess, the imperial mausoleum was actually built on a spiritual vein. After thousands of years of excavation, the underground has actually become a lot empty. It is said that it has been built into an underground palace."
Yan Qingzheng knew that Rong Che negotiated with the Demon Slayer in the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum and signed a soul contract.
But the underground palace is said to be very majestic. Who built it?
"The Enshrining Hall... is actually far from as simple as it seems." The great engraver sighed, "I didn't know anything about it until I became the great engraver. I never knew that the Fenrong royal family had such a profound foundation."
Yan Qingzheng found it strange that there were spiritual veins near the capital?
The royal family built the imperial mausoleum on the spiritual veins, and no one discovered it?
"The royal family has done a good job in keeping this secret. It has been able to keep this secret for so many years..."
"Hehe, actually, before everyone is told this secret, they will be forced to sign a soul contract and it will not be told outside."
Yan Qingzheng looked at the big worshiper speechlessly: "Then you tell me that you are not afraid of your soul being burned?"
"It's different, it's different," the great minister smiled. He was not stupid. How could he risk his soul being burned by telling Yan Qingzheng such secrets, "Princess, you are a member of the royal family, and the emperor has given
I have your greatest authorization, so telling you this does not constitute a violation of the soul contract."
"It seems that being the emperor of Feng Rong is not easy. If we choose an unreliable heir in the future, I am afraid the country will be destroyed!" Yan Qing did not expect this. At first, she thought that letting the prince enter the underground secret room was a mistake.
This kind of behavior has only a sense of ritual. Who knew it could have such a big secret!
But this was not her concern, she just wanted to fulfill Rong Che's request.
"Then we still have to go to the imperial mausoleum."
"Yes, I must go." The great priest said excitedly. He didn't have much chance to go to the imperial mausoleum. Now that he has been authorized to take Yan Qingzheng in, he can follow him to pay his respects.
The imperial mausoleum has not changed much over the years, except that the late emperor’s spiritual tablet has been placed there.
When Yan Qing saw it, her eyes darkened. She thought of Tong Yao.
That stupid woman resolutely died for a man who could not give her a fair and honest identity and could not always accompany her...
How many sad tears it made her shed!
Sighing, he remembered that he was actually a decisive person. His foresight and tactics were far superior to the current emperor. Not to mention his innate unique charm, which made Yan Xi regret his passing.
And lingering on the bed for three months!
That's all, let's offer him some incense.
There was a hint of curiosity on the wrinkled face of an old eunuch. While sweeping the dusty steps with a broom that had been bare for thousands of years, he let his eyes fall through the open door on the woman who was offering incense to the late emperor.
However, Qingzheng was unaware of it, and the great worshiper followed behind him to salute. None of them noticed anything unusual about the old eunuch, which was not normal for the two cultivators.
Then the great minister took Yan Qingzheng to the underground palace. This time they went deep underground and finally saw the spiritual stones in the spiritual veins.
"Is this also called spiritual veins?" Yan Qing was looking at a few scattered spiritual stones. After a deep inspection, he found that there were not many spiritual stones underneath.
"It must have been over-exploited. Spiritual veins also need to be nourished. However, the royal family only knows how to mine, but they don't know how to nourish spiritual veins, so they haven't mined spiritual stones again for many years." This is also the first time for the great worshiper to come here.
This place was completely different from what he imagined with abundant spiritual energy and spiritual veins everywhere, and he was also dumbfounded.
Yan Qing was silent, looked up at the dark mine, and said pertinently: "Based on the scale that can be seen now, this spiritual vein is really not small, but it should have been dug to the end now.
"
The great worshiper shook his head, feeling very sorry in his heart.
Yan Qing was touching the rock wall casually when he suddenly discovered lines of different depths.
Startled, she quickly cleaned away the thick dust along the lines, and a part of a huge formation appeared in front of her eyes.
Although the lines were thick and rough, the familiar circuit still made Yan Qingzheng cover her mouth in shock, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This... this is a spirit-absorbing formation!"
The great worshiper also knows what the spiritual formation is, which is to stimulate the spiritual power of the spirit stones through the formation diagram and transmit it to the coordinates depicted in the formation diagram.
For example, Yan Qingzheng made the flying chariot many years ago. In order to allow people without spiritual power to control the flying chariot, she used this spirit-absorbing array. As long as the nodes on the array were triggered, the spirit stones on the array could be controlled.
The spiritual power is transferred to the formation that requires spiritual power.
However, the scale of spirit-absorbing formations is generally not large, and this is also because the spiritual power in this world has gradually become thinner over the millennium, and there is a shortage of spiritual stones. No one will use this kind of spiritual-absorbing formation to kill the goose and lay the eggs.
Suddenly, Yan Qing's heart suddenly moved, and he quickly flew around the entire cave, clearing all the buried formations.
Sure enough, a huge Jiling array appeared in front of us.
"What a great gesture!" Yan Qingzheng couldn't help but exclaimed, "Using the spiritual power of a single spiritual vein to protect a mere palace?"
She always felt that it was not that simple.
"Yes, the imperial palace has never heard of any attack. How come this spiritual vein has been used up?" The great worshiper also said casually with a look of disbelief.
Yan Qingzheng's eyes flashed. What the great minister said was right. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng Rong has never heard of the imperial palace being attacked. Since the protective formation has never absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the spiritual veins, then those spiritual energy
Where did the power go? The spiritual power of such a huge spiritual vein can supply the palace's protective formation for hundreds of thousands of years!
So the question is, where is the spiritual power of the entire spiritual vein sent? What is the reason that consumes all the spiritual power of a spiritual vein?
She began to observe carefully, looking for clues in the complicated Jiling Formation.
A few days passed, and she finally discovered a formation...
"Seal..." Yan Qing was murmuring with distracted eyes.
After leaving the imperial mausoleum, Yan Qing was in a trance.
The old eunuch looked at their backs flying away with flying swords, and sighed silently. Suddenly, a slight breeze blew by, leaving only a bare broom on the ground.
After returning to the capital, the two of them left separately. Yan Qingzheng returned to Prince Xuan's Mansion, and the great minister returned to the palace to resume his duties.
When Rong Che learned that his wife was back, he immediately changed his clothes and went to the study.
But he found that Yan Qing was in a daze.
It's so rare that I didn't even notice him entering the door!
Rong Che's eyes narrowed. Could it be that it was too difficult for him to ask her to strengthen the palace's protective formation?
He blamed himself, hugged Yan Qingzheng from behind, and said in her ear: "Let's forget about the protective formation and return to the first sect, okay?"
Yan Qingzheng was really startled, feeling his self-blame and heartache, and smiled relievedly: "It's not that problem. I have already figured out how to do the protective array. I am thinking about another problem."
"what is the problem?"
"The matter of the ascension passage being closed." Yan Qing was in a complicated mood, her eyes blurred.
"The ascension passage is closed... Why did you suddenly think of this?" Rong Che was very surprised, had all the passages been reopened, or had Yan Qing opened them?
"I have always found it strange why the ascension channel in our world was suddenly closed for thousands of years, and why the Yuling Realm, Zhang Xianwang, and even the Miao Realm suddenly appeared in this backward lower plane like ours!
There is even the Slaughter Demon Lord, why did he come from the demon world to join in the fun!" Yan Qingzheng's eyes gradually became clearer, "Now I finally understand."
"what happened?"
Rong Che let go of Yan Qingzheng and placed a soundproof barrier. He felt that what he was about to hear next would be horrifying.
"I think the cause of the matter is the demon world!"
Yan Qing was slowly saying that the demon world discovered this lower plane for some unknown reason, and the reason why they traveled thousands of miles to extend their tentacles here is because... the Slaughter Demon Lord escaped to this world!
Escape from the demon world to a lower plane of the side courtyard under the jurisdiction of the fairy world. Even though you are coming from a high plane, after all, you have crossed the level of immortals and demons, so it must be extremely difficult.
The Demon Lord of Slaughter had to tear open the space barrier before he could come over. At that time, he used self-destruction to block most of the pursuit, and a ray of soul escaped, and he had to break the space barrier, which must have been extremely weak. Therefore, the crack he opened was not closed in time.
, causing this world to be easily invaded by demonic energy.
Just when the enemies of Demon Lord Slaughter searched the demon world but could not find any trace of Demon Lord Slaughter's soul, they found clues. Following this clue, they found this plane.
This process must have taken tens of thousands of years, and the problem of space instability here was discovered by the superior plane responsible for management, so they sent people to check and found that there were space cracks leading to the devil world. So I didn't want to
The superiors in the immortal world who started a war easily decided to end the way of ascension for all cultivators in this world, in order to eliminate the possibility of the demon world invading the immortal world through this world!
This is why the ascension channel is closed.
But they did not sit still and wait for death, so they sent people down to arrange a seal to seal the space crack that they discovered leading to the demon world.
And this spiritual vein is the "spiritual stone" they use to maintain the seal!
