Dragon's Origin

#449 - Royal Gossip (Part 2)

"Wait! Wait!" Wang Sheng suddenly stopped the old Taoist priest and quickly interjected, asking, "Don't tell me that in the end, this eunuch was hunted down by the emperor and had no choice but to escape to Worry-Free City."

Why does this plot sound so familiar? It's almost the same as the story of Wang Sheng's neighbor in Worry-Free City, the shadow old eunuch! If you don't look at the previous inside story, it's almost exactly the same.

"Of course!" The old Taoist priest glanced at Wang Sheng: "He killed the emperor's favorite concubine, where else in the world could he find a place to stay? Besides Worry-Free City, where else could he go?"

Sure enough, this story is really related to the shadow old eunuch. But it's still not right! If the shadow old eunuch killed the emperor's favorite concubine, wouldn't the emperor hate the shadow old eunuch to the bone? But looking at the shadow old eunuch's appearance, he is clearly loyal to the emperor and can't wait to die for him. Where can you see that the emperor wants to kill the shadow old eunuch?

"Then the emperor just endured it like this?" Wang Sheng didn't believe it. The current emperor is the kind of person who can kill his own son to win people's hearts when he gets angry. Is he a kind man? If someone really killed his favorite concubine, even if the shadow old eunuch escaped to Worry-Free City, with Li Laoguai's cultivation level a dozen or twenty years ago, wouldn't he be able to kill the shadow old eunuch in Worry-Free City?

"How is that possible?" The old Taoist priest curled his lips: "Our current emperor is not a kind person! At that time, he did endure it, and then in less than two years, he abolished all the elders who participated in the宗人府 at that time. Two years later, he also abolished the queen. The queen's family was said to be involved in treason and was executed. The old men in the宗人府 all died cleanly in less than five years. The current queen is a newly entered palace favorite concubine who was later promoted."

"Our emperor was so awesome at that time?" Wang Sheng was about to give a thumbs up in admiration. A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, the emperor actually took only five years to avenge all his great revenge. I'm impressed!

"What happened later?" Wang Sheng was purely immersed in the story and said the classic words to urge for more.

"Later, the emperor worked hard to govern, not only diligently cultivated his profound skills, but also worked hard." The old Taoist priest said slowly: "This isn't it, in just fifteen or sixteen years, he came up with this grand ceremony of enfeoffing the princes, the royal prestige greatly increased, and the princes from all sides scrambled to curry favor."

"Tch!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but despise: "Is this grand ceremony of enfeoffing the princes the emperor's idea? It's clearly mine." But the emperor was able to execute it so thoroughly, which was also extremely impressive. Thinking of this, Wang Sheng suddenly thought of another question.

"What was the emperor's cultivation level at that time?" Wang Sheng asked: "Since just improving his cultivation level would be enough to not worry, then the emperor only needed to improve his cultivation level at that time, right?"

"The emperor at that time had at most only the fourth level." The old Taoist priest shook his head: "However, the emperor's technique definitely doesn't require fighting and killing, as long as he can strengthen his will and improve his wisdom. If you were to practice the emperor's technique, then you wouldn't need to reach the eighth level, at most the sixth level would be enough to take that girl without being affected."

"What about now? Can you see the emperor's current cultivation level?" Wang Sheng asked again.

This question was very strange, the old Taoist priest didn't say that he could see the emperor at any time, how could he know the emperor's cultivation level? But Wang Sheng didn't care about this at all, if the old Taoist priest really wanted to see the emperor, it would really be just a word, even if he had already seen the emperor, the emperor and the people around him wouldn't have noticed him.

"The emperor is now about at the seventh level!" The old Taoist priest really knew, and even had targeted comments: "However, as far as I know, his technique reached the sixth level more than ten years ago, but after more than ten years, he has only improved by one level, the emperor's cultivation is not very good."

Thinking that the emperor who was sitting and chatting with him pretending to be a businessman was actually a seventh-level master, Wang Sheng was also afraid for a while. But thinking about the old Taoist priest saying that the emperor's technique was not used for fighting, Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Something's not right, this is definitely not right. Wang Sheng quickly analyzed the unreasonable parts, pondered for a while, and then asked curiously: "When the favorite concubine died, the emperor was only at the fourth level, but according to your calculations, in less than three or four years, the emperor went from the fourth level to the sixth level, and then it took more than ten years to improve by one level, is he a cultivation genius? And then he couldn't do it anymore?"

"Don't forget the nature of the technique that the emperor practices." The old Taoist priest was not surprised by this: "Losing his favorite concubine, the emperor's state of mind fluctuated greatly, which is in line with the extreme feelings between gain and loss, what's so strange about improving to the sixth level in a short period of time? Later, he favored a new favorite concubine who entered the palace, his mood was no longer there, and naturally his progress slowed down."

The old Taoist priest said it for granted, and Wang Sheng listened to it for granted. However, the old Taoist priest didn't know the current relationship between the shadow old eunuch and the royal emperor, so he simply thought that the shadow killed the naturally charming concubine and allowed the emperor to work hard, but the truth would definitely not be like this.

There is definitely a story in here, and it's a story that the old Taoist priest doesn't even know. Wang Sheng's gossip heart itched for a while. It's a pity that he can't tell the old Taoist priest these things now, he should wait until he has a chance in the future and slowly explore the royal gossip!

"You said, with my current cultivation, if I add the Nine Syllable Mantra, at what level can I touch that girl?" Wang Sheng suddenly became curious and asked the old Taoist priest excitedly.

"If you add the Nine Syllable Mantra..." The old Taoist priest stroked his beard, pondered slowly for a while, and gave a definite answer: "The seventh level is definitely no problem, as for whether the sixth level will work, you'll have to try it. What, can't you hold back?"

"No rush, no rush!" Wang Sheng hurriedly denied, he didn't seem to be such a lustful person, right?

"By the way, what are you planning to do this time you came to me?" The old Taoist priest didn't care about the relationship between Wang Sheng and Mei'er, but just asked. Seeing that they had already walked halfway to the Old Lord Temple, knowing Wang Sheng's plan in advance would allow him to make arrangements as early as possible after returning.

"Last time I accompanied Mei'er and the others into the Thousand Absolute Land, I seemed to have touched a bit of the 'Line' word formula." Wang Sheng told the truth and said to the old Taoist priest, "I'm looking for you because I want to see if you can help me study it. If I comprehend the 'Line' word formula, I can advance, and I'm afraid I'll have to borrow your territory at that time."

"Then what are you waiting for? Talking nonsense and wasting time!" Hearing that it was related to the 'Line' word formula, and that Wang Sheng had already touched the edge of the 'Line' word formula, the old Taoist priest suddenly became excited, and deeply hated wasting time talking about gossip with Wang Sheng before.

"Hurry up!" The old Taoist priest urged, while speeding up his pace, he asked Wang Sheng to tell him the process: "What exactly did you experience? How did you feel it?"
