Chapter 125 Taoist Qinglian, His Majesty Has Been Waiting for You for Five Thousand Years
Copy·Ancient Xiu Mausoleum, in the tomb chamber.
"Times have changed, and I never thought that the Qingxuan puppet, which would have required many deaths before, can now be solved without much effort."
"Unconsciously, I am indeed much stronger than before..."
Lu Chen looked at the Qingxuan puppet that was easily eliminated by him in the tomb, his tone full of emotion.
He thought back to the first time he came to this copy a few months ago.
But he was taught a good lesson by these Qingxuan puppets in front of him.
I know what it means to bully the minority with more, and I know what it means to beat the master to death with random punches.
But now the offensive and defensive changes are made in just four months.
The person is still the same person, and the puppets are still those puppets.
But the person in class turned out to be him, Lu Chen!
Do you understand what it means for advanced players to return to the novice village?
[You killed a Qingxuan puppet and gained 35 experience points...]
[You killed one...]
"Although I don't have much experience, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."
Lu Chen looked at the beating game panel and walked out of the tomb after sighing for a moment.
As soon as he went out, the familiar Qi-training corpse outside the door immediately sneaked up on him.
In this regard, Lu Chen didn't even need to do anything at the moment, he just looked at it calmly.
The body of the Qi-training corpse burned with raging purple flames and turned into ashes amid a burst of screams.
[You killed the magic corpse in the Qi training stage (the fifth level of the Qi training period), and gained 70 experience points, soul crystal fragment (white)*1]
Without stopping for too long, Lu Chen quickly killed all the remaining corpses in the entire underground palace.
Then we came to the gate of the underground mausoleum where Ye Chenglin was.
When the door opened, Lu Chen saw the familiar figure again.
But it was different from the first time. Lu Chen felt that the Ye Chenglin he saw this time was a little strange.
If I had to describe it, it would be when Lu Chen saw Ye Chenglin for the first time.
Although the other party turned into a corpse, he could still feel the humanity in Ye Chenglin.
But now Ye Chenglin doesn't know why, but he no longer feels that way.
It was as if what appeared in front of Lu Chen was just a cold piece of designed data.
Not only were his eyes dull, but his expression was also very mechanical.
"Who...is it?"
Ye Chenglin looked at Lu Chen walking into the mausoleum, and asked Lu Chen expressionlessly as before.
Obviously the words were still the same, but this time Lu Chen felt more awkward than ever.
Because before, he could still see doubts on Ye Chenglin's face, which was very human.
But this time, he couldn't see any expression fluctuation on Ye Chenglin's face, as if he was just asking for the sake of asking.
Just like the acting skills of an eighteenth-tier young actor, the word "hard" is revealed from every part of his body.
Not knowing what he thought of, Lu Chen looked at Ye Chenglin at this time and said in a complicated tone: "...It seems that you are no longer the old Ye I am familiar with."
With that said, Lu Chen walked towards Ye Chenglin.
In this regard, Ye Chenglin didn't say much and stood up directly to launch the attack.
As before, although Ye Chenglin only had one arm, he still used exquisite talismans.
It's a pity that Lu Chen is not what he used to be now.
He didn't even have to dodge the thunder talisman that he had to avoid before.
Snapped!
Facing the flying talisman, Lu Chen casually slapped it away, as if he was just swatting away harmless snowflakes.
After seeing that the thunder talisman had no effect on Lu Chen, Ye Chenglin immediately wanted to use some other talismans.
But just when he was about to draw other talismans, Lu Chen's figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Ye Chenglin.
Looking at the expressionless Ye Chenglin in front of him, Lu Chen whispered: "Farewell, Lao Ye."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chendang lightly hit Ye Chenglin on the chest with his palm.
And just this ordinary palm not only made Ye Chenglin fly backwards immediately.
The body was wrapped in a purple flame and soon turned into ashes.
[You defeated the Dharma Corpse Ye Chenglin in the Foundation Establishment Stage, you gained 3000 experience points, you obtained the Soul Crystal Fragment (green)*1, you obtained the True Solution to the Ten Thousand Talisman·Fragmentary Scroll*1...]
Lu Chen did not look at the game panel, but looked deeply towards the end of the tomb, and seemed to have discovered something.
Because when he entered the dungeon for the first time, he had neither reached the foundation building stage nor learned the Green Lotus Eyes.
As a result, he didn't realize that one part of the wall behind Ye Chenglin was actually covered by a formation.
Now that I have discovered this, I think this is the special tomb that needs to be opened by the 'Mysterious Tomb Key'...
Thinking of this, Lu Chen walked directly towards that place.
Not long after, he came to the strange wall.
Before Lu Chen could think about how to crack this formation, new information popped up on his system panel.
[You have discovered a new copy: Imperial City Mausoleum. You can use the 'Imperial Tomb Key' to open a special copy... Dayan Emperor Mausoleum. 】
Looking at the system package, the original 'mysterious mausoleum key' became a special prop like the 'imperial mausoleum key'.
Lu Chen looked thoughtful.
The key to the imperial mausoleum is still the mausoleum in Dayan Imperial City.
There is no doubt that the next place he will go to is the Great Yan Dynasty.
Thinking of his first stop for the main mission in the game is the Great Yan Dynasty.
Lu Chen suddenly became curious about what might happen in this dungeon next.
Is there any mysterious connection between the two?
[You used the 'Imperial City Tomb Key', and the teleportation array was opened...]
As the 'Imperial City Tomb Key' disappeared, Lu Chen found that the array wall in front of him disappeared.
Instead, there was a strange black vortex.
Without thinking too much, Lu Chen immediately strode into the black vortex...
[Special copy: Da Yan Imperial City Tomb]
[Minimum requirement: Foundation Establishment Stage 1]
[Description: After five thousand years of changes, Da Yan Imperial City has been completely occupied by evil. In order to protect the last pure land of the Da Yan Dynasty, after being instructed by an expert, the Da Yan royal family retreated to the underground mausoleum. Except for the last emperor of the Da Yan royal family, Ji Ling'er, the rest of them volunteered to become ghost soldiers and ghost generals to fight against the continuous invasion of the ancient evil...]
[Note: The special copy disappears completely after the clearance, and the copy reward depends on the completion of the copy]
When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, what came into view was a huge underground palace.
And the location where he appeared was in front of the gate outside the palace.
The two ghost soldiers guarding the gate knelt down strangely on the spot when they saw him appear, and acted very respectful, as if they knew him.
In response, Lu Chen looked at the panels of the two ghost soldiers curiously.
[Great Yan Dynasty·Dongying Ghost Soldiers]
[Cultivation: Fourth level of Qi training period]
[Features: Due to special reasons, these ghost soldiers can be resurrected infinitely after death, but cannot move in the sun]
Ghost soldiers that can be resurrected infinitely?
Lu Chen looked at the two ghost soldiers in surprise, wondering if only they could be resurrected infinitely, or if all the ghost soldiers and ghost generals in the imperial mausoleum of the Great Yan Dynasty were like this.
If all the ghost soldiers and ghost generals could be resurrected infinitely.
Then according to what Lu Chen learned after his spiritual sense swept.
The combat potential contained in this Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum... is too exaggerated!
Because he sensed the breath of at least tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in this mausoleum.
Not to mention those ghost generals in the foundation building period.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about what he should do, the tightly closed palace door suddenly opened.
Soon, an ancient female ghost wearing armor, a half-golden mask, and a square flag on her back, riding a skeleton horse, slowly stopped in front of the city gate.
Because he did not sense the hostility of the other party, Lu Chen did not attack her immediately, but looked at the other party's panel.
[Lan Yan, the general of the Golden Army of the Great Yan Dynasty]
[Cultivation: Ghost Pill Stage 5]
[Features: The last general of the Great Yan Dynasty who protected the country, because of special reasons, he was transformed into a ghost general, immortal]
An ancient ghost general in the Ghost Pill Stage?
Looking at the other party's panel, Lu Chen immediately took precautions.
Because this powerful ghost general could threaten him now.
But what surprised Lu Chen was that the female ghost general named Lan Yan came five steps in front of Lu Chen on horseback.
She immediately got off the horse and walked to Lu Chen.
Then, in Lu Chen's surprised eyes, she took off her helmet and half-knelt in front of him.
"My daughter Lan Yan, respectfully welcomes Taoist Qinglian."
"I hope you won't be offended that I meet you again in such an ugly ghost body."
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Chen frowned and asked: "You... know me?"
Hearing this, Lan Yan seemed to have expected it, and said calmly: "Everything is just as the Taoist said a thousand years ago. Now you can't remember us, let alone what happened a thousand years ago..."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked again: "What else did I say before?"
Lan Yan replied: "The Taoist said before that if we find that the Taoist has lost his thousand-year memory when we meet again, then we should not talk too much about these, just talk about what happened after the Taoist left."
"Because then the Taoist will lead my Great Yan Dynasty out of the predicament again like he did a thousand years ago."
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned even more.
Because although it was just a few words, he still heard a lot of different information.
For example, he seemed to be talking to the ghost general Lan Yan at the moment, but in fact he was talking to himself a thousand years ago.
This way of communication across time brought countless possibilities to Lu Chen's mind.
However, although Lu Chen was thinking about a lot of things at this time, he understood one thing.
That is, his self a thousand years ago was telling him not to try to understand what happened a thousand years ago, and everything should be normal.
Because once he knew those things, it might have an impact on the situation a thousand years ago.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided to trust his own judgment a thousand years ago.
"Lead the way, and then tell me what happened here."
Lan Yan nodded, and then put on the helmet again.
"Master, please follow me. Let His Majesty tell you about what happened a thousand years later. After all, His Majesty... has been waiting for you for five thousand years."
Five thousand years?...
Lu Chen couldn't believe it for a while when he heard this amazing time span.
Because according to his previous inference, the ancient tomb of the cultivator was at most one thousand five to three thousand years away from the era in his game.
But now it seems that not every copy has the same timeline.
The eras of different copies may be very different.
This is another brand new information.
Under Lan Yan's guidance, Lu Chen soon arrived at the depths of the imperial mausoleum.
Along the way, Lu Chen also quickly saw the layout of the underground palace.
I saw the entire underground palace except for the main hall in the distance.
The remaining four directions, southeast and northwest, were filled with a large number of mercenaries.
And in these four directions, a very huge ever-burning lantern was erected.
Although Lu Chen couldn't see the role of these ever-burning lights.
This can be seen from the complex patterns on these ever-burning lamps and the special aura they exude.
Not only are these ever-burning lamps extraordinary, but their placement is certainly not arbitrary.
Combined with the fact that all ghost soldiers and generals, including Lan Yan, have the characteristics of immortality.
Lu Chen felt that the reason why they could be resurrected indefinitely might be inseparable from the four ever-burning lamps around them.
But whether this is the case will be known only after he meets Ji Ling'er, the last emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Under the leadership of Lan Yan, Lu Chen quickly crossed the square in front of the underground palace.
And every one of the mercenaries who appeared in this square had a cultivation level above the foundation building stage.
Lu Chen took a rough look and found that there were hundreds at least.
As for the four mercenaries standing at the front, their auras have reached the ghost elixir stage.
From left to right, there are sword generals, bow generals, spear generals, and sword generals.
Therefore, rather than saying that they are mercenaries, it is better to say that they are generals.
And every time Lu Chen and Lan Yan passed by a mercenary, a mercenary would resurrect in the form of a ghost and kneel down towards the two of them.
So when Lu Chen and Lan Yan walked to the entrance of the palace, all the ghost soldiers and generals in the entire underground palace came to life.
This also includes the four ancient ghost generals from the ghost elixir stage.
Facing the ghost soldiers and generals kneeling in the square, Lu Chen seemed expressionless, but he was actually a little nervous inside.
Because it was obviously his first time meeting these people.
But it was as if they had known him for a long time.
This strong information gap made Lu Chen feel like he met a group of so-called "acquaintances" after losing his memory. He felt an inexplicable sense of dissonance.
Therefore, the short road of a few hundred meters in front of the main hall of the imperial mausoleum was the longest road Lu Chen had ever walked.
Fortunately, all questions will be answered soon.
As Lan Yan pushed open the door of the main hall, a strange golden coffin locked in the air by four chains immediately caught his eye.
Under the strange coffin, there was a huge pool of blood.
After taking a closer look, Lu Chen found that the four chains connecting the golden coffin seemed to correspond to the directions of the four ever-burning lights around the palace.
[Name: Immortal Coffin]
【quality:? ? ? 】
【Effect:? ? ? 】
Looking at the immortal coffin, Lu Chen didn't know what to do for a while.
Just when he was hesitating, Lan Yan directly lit the four lamps in the west of the hall.
The next second, other lamps in the entire hall were lit up one after another, as if they had a chain reaction.
Only then did Lu Chen realize that what looked like a palace hall on the outside was actually a layout similar to an ancient ancestral hall. The hall was surrounded by dense plaques.
However, this place seemed to be a place filled with gloomy energy, but not only did Lu Chen not feel any chill here.
Instead, there was an inexplicable feeling of warmth, as if the surroundings were full of life.
This feeling of harmonious coexistence of life and death made Lu Chen somewhat uncomfortable.
Weird, it's so weird here.
rock!
With the sound of chains shaking, the immortal coffin that was originally hovering in mid-air fell smoothly into the blood pool without splashing any blood.
Immediately afterwards, bluestone slabs began to emerge from the scarlet blood pool.
These bluestone slabs are connected to each other, eventually forming a road leading to the coffin of immortality.
Looking at the bluestone road, Lan Yan said: "Priest Qinglian, please wake up His Majesty yourself."
After hearing Lan Yan's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then took the initiative to walk towards the immortal coffin.
Not long after, they arrived at the immortal coffin.
Looking at the tightly fitted gold coffin in front of him and the slightly familiar golden dragon carving on the coffin.
Lu Chen always felt as if he had seen similar patterns somewhere.
"Taoist Priest Qinglian, please put a drop of blood on the coffin surface."
While Lu Chen was thinking, Lan Yan spoke again.
Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately took out his Black Dragon Sword and swiped it on his palm.
Tick tock…
When his blood fell on the immortal coffin, the originally dim immortal coffin immediately shook.
After a while, the golden dragon carving on the coffin surface became lifelike.
Then the originally closed immortal coffin slowly opened, revealing the figure inside the coffin.
I saw that it was a woman who looked like she was only in her prime.
The woman has a beautiful face, wearing a red dragon robe, a gilt crown on her head, and her hands folded on her chest.
Although he was just lying in the coffin with his eyes closed, Lu Chen could still feel the elegant and noble temperament of the other party in an instant.
If we say that Shangguan Yunmeng is a misty fairy who is free from the world of mortals.
The last empress of Great Yan who appeared in front of Lu Chen at this time was the stunning beauty in the world who stood on the top of the world of mortals.
There is nothing wrong with the words "powerful country and beautiful city" applied to her.
And just when Lu Chen was thinking about what he should do next.
He suddenly saw the Great Yan Empress Ji Ling'er lying in the immortal coffin and her eyebrows moved slightly.
Not long after, Ji Ling'er opened her eyes completely.
And when she saw Lu Chen next to the immortal coffin.
Ji Ling'er's original majestic temperament was instantly broken.
In Lu Chen's stunned expression, the other party not only sat up directly, but also hugged Lu Chen who was beside the immortal coffin.
W-what's going on? !
Ji Ling'er suddenly threw herself into her arms and caught Lu Chen off guard.
The Lu Chen who could face the golden elixir stage and was not afraid of the death of the copy.
At this time, he was hugged by a woman and became confused.
Because he didn't know Ji Linger, and he didn't know what happened.
This hug really caught him off guard.
No, the me a thousand years ago... what extraordinary things did I do behind my back!
Before Lu Chen could figure out the situation, Ji Ling'er, who was lying on his shoulder, spoke first and said something that made Lu Chen sweat instantly.
"Brother Qinglian, come here now...are you finally willing to marry me?"
ah? !
Lu Chen's pupils shrank and his head went blank.
For a moment, countless classic bloody scenes even appeared in Lu Chen's mind.
What kind of immortal cultivator always gives up, coaxing a simple little girl to make a thousand-year vow?
Or some mortal woman loves the immortal and waits for the other person to respond, and so on...
Sweating profusely, really sweating profusely!
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't reply for a long time, Ji Ling'er, who was lying on his shoulder, seemed to have thought of something and immediately let go of him. Then she looked face to face at the astonished Lu Chen and smiled sweetly.
"Hehe, Ling'er just made a joke. Brother Qinglian doesn't need to take it seriously."
Lu Chen looked at the Ji Ling'er who looked like a gorgeous empress before she fell asleep, but after she woke up she looked like the girl next door.
For a moment, I really didn’t know what to say.
The contrast between before and after... is a bit big.
And just when Lu Chen was sweating profusely, Lan Yan, who was half-kneeling at the door of the hall, couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, there is already outside the imperial mausoleum..."
"Shut up."
Ji Ling'er turned to look at Lan Yan, her eyes no longer looking at Lu Chen's gentleness, and looked very cold.
He seemed to dislike her sudden interruption.
In just one second, Lu Chen saw what it meant to change his face.
I also know why Ji Linger became the empress of Dayan Imperial City.
The domineering momentum displayed in that moment made even Lu Chen feel that imperial power cannot be questioned.
Ji Ling'er looked at Lan Yan, who was trembling all over, and said coldly: "Exit and close the door."
"No one is allowed in unless I ask."
"……yes."
Lan Yan lowered her head, exited the hall obediently, and then closed the door.
When only Lu Chen and Ji Linger were left in the hall.
Ji Ling'er's cold expression immediately disappeared, and a gentle smile appeared on her delicate and beautiful face.
That kind of tenderness seems to melt people.
Lu Chen was even more at a loss.
He originally thought he was in an upgrade book, but now it seems... he seems to be in a love book!
Something's wrong, there's something wrong with this script.
Ji Ling'er didn't seem to care about Lu Chen's embarrassment, and said with a proud face: "Brother Qinglian, Ling'er has lived up to your teachings, right?"
"It's you and the way to govern your subordinates. The key is to use kindness and power at the same time. When you are the emperor, you not only need to make them respect you, but also make them fear you, because only in this way can you control the entire dynasty."
"Ling'er has always remembered what you said casually for so many years."
"And do you still remember what Ling'er said back then?"
ah?
What did I say back then?
Lu Chen looked at Ji Ling'er's eyes that almost melted him.
I immediately felt something was wrong.
Because even though it was just the first time for him to see Ji Ling'er, he still felt the heavy love she had for him.
And this love seems to be not only simple love, but also mixed with a kind of morbid possessiveness that is visible to the naked eye.
Pressure, Lu Chen felt an unspeakable pressure for the first time.
Facing Ji Ling'er's unabashed love, Lu Chen was really sweating!
The main reason is that he really doesn’t know what he said in the first place!
Isn't this the first time we've met? ? ?
