Chapter 1334 Xiling? The Mysterious Old Man in Gray!
Wang Chong's heart tightened, he put down his teacup and stood up from the roof.
His surprise was no small matter. From the moment the old man in gray clothes appeared, his mind was on him without any relaxation. When the old man in gray clothes appeared before, he didn't notice it in advance. It could be said to be careless, but this time This time, when he was well prepared, the old man in gray clothes, who didn't seem to be very strong, could disappear from under his eyes out of thin air. It was simply unbelievable.
No one in the Cave Heaven Realm can do this.
——Or else the old man in gray used some special technique.
"over there!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he quickly discovered a clue. Just a few hundred feet away from him, a very faint figure quickly passed by under the eaves in the night.
Although the time was extremely short, even so fast that people thought it was an illusion, Wang Chong immediately confirmed that it was the mysterious old man.
The old man came and went without a trace, and Wang Chong didn't know who he was, but after Wang Chong made tea with Daluo Immortal Lord's tea leaves, this was the only figure that appeared for several hours.
Moreover, the other party's taste in tea is completely different from that of today's, and it seems most suspicious at the moment. At least this is Wang Chong's only clue right now.
"call!"
Wang Chong stretched out his sleeves and swept all the fragrant tea and half a bag of tea leaves into the Crown of Light Artifact, and then quickly rushed out along the roof, towards the direction where the old man in gray clothes disappeared.
"So fast!"
In just a moment, Wang Chong's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Originally, he thought he could easily track the opponent, but in fact, the opponent's figure was erratic, coming and going. With Wang Chong's speed, he almost lost him. Every time, he could only touch the tail and see the person. A blurry figure.
It would be fine if the opponent was a strong person like Tian, but Wang Chong couldn't feel the strong energy fluctuations from him at all.
There are actually people in the capital who he can't keep up with, and this thing is getting more and more strange.
The other party's whereabouts were erratic and seemed to have no specific purpose. They went to Zhuque Street, Shilong Street, Moss Street... Wang Chong followed that figure almost throughout most of the capital.
Moreover, the old man in gray clothes did not always stay on his street. Sometimes, when he found him again, Wang Chong saw that man appearing on the ridge of an empty roof, or a huge tree. , on the lush locust trees, or in a house built by businessmen in the capital, silently staring at a calm lake in the house, motionless, as if remembering something, or maybe something else.
"What the hell is he doing?"
Wang Chong became more and more suspicious, and this man's actions became more and more weird and bizarre.
If it hadn't been for the previous encounter on the rooftop, where this man came to ask for a cup of tea, Wang Chong would not have even noticed this place among the millions of people in the capital.
No matter where he was, the man's stay was very short. Basically, the old man in gray disappeared shortly after Wang Chong caught up with him.
"Buzz!"
Just when Wang Chong was meditating, a sudden change occurred. In just a moment, the old man in gray clothes disappeared again, but unlike the previous times, this time the old man in gray clothes completely disappeared, just like a bubble bursting and disappearing. , there are absolutely no traces to be found.
"not good!"
Wang Chong's surprise was not trivial. He didn't have time to think about it carefully. Wang Chong quickly jumped out from the darkness. At the same time, without showing any traces, his huge mental power also spread out.
But this time, there was nothing all around.
Within a radius of several thousand feet, not even a trace could be seen.
"how so?"
Wang Chong jumped into the void and quickly jumped into the sky, hoping to be able to find the opponent's traces from a high place.
However, the night was dark and cold, and the entire capital was completely quiet. Rows of buildings were scattered throughout the field of vision, but on the streets, under the eaves, in the houses... there was no sign of the old man in gray at all.
This time he seems to have really disappeared!
Wang Chong finally became anxious.
If the old man in gray disappears, the clues left by Immortal Da Luo will be completely cut off.
"boom!"
Not caring about so much, Wang Chong directly controlled the power of time and space. The rings of time and space centered on Wang Chong and radiated in all directions. Not only that, Wang Chong directly used all methods to track the opponent.
"real world!"
"The Stone of Destiny, use the highest authority, Archon of Destiny!"
The wind howled, Wang Chong was suspended high in the sky, and everything came into view.
Finally, a moment later, under the influence of the Stone of Destiny, Wang Chong finally captured the whereabouts of the old man in gray again:
"over there!"
Just on the edge of the Imperial Palace of the Capital of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong finally caught the familiar aura again. Although there was only a faint gray aura and it disappeared quickly, Wang Chong was sure that the other party was the old man in gray who disappeared.
But soon, Wang Chong frowned:
"What happened? He went to the palace?"
In the state of real vision, Wang Chong clearly captured the traces of the other party on the streets outside the palace. Then after a flicker, the man crossed the high palace wall and disappeared inside.
When the old man in gray appeared, Wang Chong had been trying to figure out his origin, but Wang Chong never expected that after getting rid of him, the old man actually disappeared into the Tang Dynasty Palace, the most heavily guarded place in the world. place.
Regardless of whether it was the Imperial City's imperial guards, the patrols outside the city, or the Emperor's Dragon Guard deeper inside, from beginning to end, no one except Wang Chong noticed that he had entered the palace.
"The big one hides in the court, the small one hides in the wild." In the end, Wang Chong never thought that the other party actually came from the palace.
As the most prominent minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Chong often went in and out of the palace. During the Three Kings Rebellion, Wang Chong also sneaked into the palace many times. It can be said that Wang Chong was no stranger to the place.
Moreover, the palace used to be guarded by the Holy Emperor, as well as many powerful emperors and dragon guards, as well as worshipers in the palace. Not to mention, the palace was strictly inspected. Under normal circumstances, no one would even think of hiding in the palace.
For a moment, Wang Chong stood high in the sky and was stunned.
"Is it an offering from the royal family?"
Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly, and an idea flashed in his mind, but it was quickly rejected by Wang Chong. Not to mention that the worshipers in the palace did not have such high cultivation. If they were really worshiped by the royal family, they must have specific waist cards. No need to climb over the palace wall.
"Could it be someone from the Celestial God Organization?"
Almost subconsciously, Wang Chong thought of another possibility.
The capital is now different from before. The Holy Emperor has passed away, and the entire capital, including the imperial palace, has completely fallen under the control of Tian. In private, this place has actually become the territory of Tian and the God of Heaven.
There is something weird about the old man in gray clothes. If it was organized by the gods, then everything makes sense.
But soon, Wang Chong shook his head again.
He and Tian are now mortal enemies. After experiencing the Turkic trip, it is impossible for anyone in the entire Tianshen organization to come to see him privately at this time. More importantly, this person gives him a completely different feeling from the Tianshen organization.
This is a gut feeling!
——The old man in gray is definitely not from the Celestial God Organization!
But as a result, the old man in gray looks even more weird.
Wang Chong really couldn't think of any other equally powerful third-party forces in this small area of the capital besides the Celestial Organization and his own side, and they might also be related to the prophecy of Immortal Daluo.
Wang Chong became more and more curious.
"Walk!"
Wang Chong quickly suppressed his thoughts, dodged, quickly fell from the sky, climbed over the tall Tang Palace wall, and also entered the palace.
There was silence in the palace, and countless golden-armored imperial guards guarded the walls. Although they were also affected by the Heavenly Palace, they were still the center of the world, and the palace was still heavily guarded.
With the sound of wind, Wang Chong fell from the air and quickly landed on a vermilion wall.
Within the city wall, the old man in gray had disappeared, but Wang Changchun used the power of the Destiny Archon to still find a trace of clues from the void.
——It was a wisp of gray air as thin as a hair, floating in the air, fading rapidly, and disappearing at an alarming speed.
However, the remaining aura still pointed out to Wang Chong the whereabouts of the old man in gray.
"There!"
Wang Chong's body swayed, chasing the afterimage in the air, all the way towards the phase.
About a moment later, on the northwest side of the palace, the aura of the old man in gray disappeared and could no longer be felt.
"This is... Xiling!"
Looking at the building in front of him, Wang Chong was startled and stunned.
What appeared in front of Wang Chong's eyes was a tall white jade ridge with white jade railings on both sides, followed by a huge dragon-shaped stone tablet and a huge mausoleum.
Xiling!
In the entire Tang Dynasty, everyone knew that the person buried here was His Majesty Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, the father of Emperor Taizong, and the founding emperor of the entire Tang Dynasty.
Of course, when Taizu died, the Emperor Taizong's palace was so sad that he was buried close to him in the palace for his contemplation.
However, Xiling has a special place. It is not only the burial place of Taizu, but also the tomb of all previous Sui emperors, including Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. Even further back, emperors of the Han Dynasty and the Warring States Period were also buried. .
According to Yuan Tianshi, the former Emperor Taizu who was a master of Feng Shui and the first person in the art of heaven and fortune, Xiling is the place where dragons lair in the world, and where Long Qing is, it is the place where true dragons rest.
That's why it was favored by emperors of all ages.
It's just that Xiling has limited space after all. After burying all the emperors of the past generations, it can't accommodate too many.
Although there were also discussions in the court about moving the previous Sui emperors out, Emperor Taizong was kind-hearted after all and believed that the change of dynasties should not be the case when the new emperor ascended the throne. Otherwise, it would be a loss of harmony for generations to follow.
So another imperial mausoleum was selected.
Therefore, in the entire Xiling, Taizu was buried, and it was later listed as a forbidden area by Emperor Taizu, and any maids, eunuchs, guards, including the royal family's children were strictly prohibited from entering.
If things go on like this, a hundred years later, Xiling will become a completely forbidden place, and no one will even talk about it.
