Chapter 66
Chapter 66
However, even though there are still some worries, after preparing for so long and planning for so long, at this moment, the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.
It was night, and no one noticed that the general who commanded the Palace Guards had secretly changed.
It was night, and the second prince hurried to the imperial study room without even returning to his bedroom, vowing to meet this great treasure who was one of heaven and man... So, he didn't know that in his palace, a team Sneaked in secretly, took control of the entire palace, and rescued those children who were in danger one by one.
It was night, with a bright moon hanging high, a silent coup d'état, and an action to capture the king unfolded in an instant.
Therefore, when the emperor heard Eunuch Zhu announce the arrival of the eldest prince and greeted him with joy, he never expected that what he was about to face was actually a cold weapon.
A row of guards that he didn't know at all had already surrounded the entire imperial study, each holding a long sword, and the blade of the sword reflected the cold light under the moonlight.
And the second prince, who had rushed over early to wait to compete with the first prince, was also tied up and held aside by Wu Huada.
"You! You?!" The old emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and almost ordered someone to drag Qi Lin down and behead him. It's a pity that no one in the entire imperial study room listens to him anymore!
He never thought that the first prince who asked himself to step down as the prince not long ago and wanted to return some dragon energy to him... unexpectedly!How dare you plot rebellion on such an important day!
Now that the power of the entire imperial palace can be controlled in this way, he has already started to plan everything even before he asked himself to step down as the crown prince!And he didn't know it at all? !
The second prince was also in a daze at the moment, until he saw that the blade next to his neck was also on the neck of the old emperor. This time he seemed to wake up suddenly, and shouted loudly: "This is not fair! Don't you Please resign from the position of prince, isn't it for everyone to play fair and stand on the same starting point again?"
Hearing what he said, Bai Zhe couldn't help laughing, Shi Shiran stepped forward and said, "Whoever tells you that the game will be fair, and there will be the same starting line... Besides, a person who collects hundreds of men and women Babies, whoever intends to refine them into pills...has the right to negotiate fairness with us?"
The second prince was obviously wronged, choked up, and said forcefully, "Me! I just use the means available to win points for myself! The malicious value and the goodwill value are obviously the same thing. What's wrong!?"
There was more pity in Bai Zhe's eyes, "You only see that you can buy keys with both goodwill and malice, but how do you know that you are buying the same key with them and going to the same place? ?”
Seeing the second prince's suddenly stiff expression, Bai Zhe didn't say any more, his eyes swept around the entire imperial study room, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, "There is still one person missing." He suddenly said, "That Taoist priest Not here, what about others?"
Eunuch Zhu shook his head standing next to the imperial study, saying that he did not see the Taoist priest either.
However, a slightly smiling voice suddenly came from the sky, "Here is the poor Taoist."
Everyone looked for the sound, and saw the Taoist priest in Taoist robes standing on the eaves of the imperial study, shaking a whisk in his hand, as if the noise in this world had nothing to do with him.
The old emperor seemed to have seen the savior, and immediately shouted—"Taoist priest, save me!"
Qi Lin stepped forward and stood beside Bai Zhe, looking at the Taoist priest very defensively, with one hand on his saber, ready to meet the enemy at any time.
However, the Taoist priest tapped his toes lightly, and his figure flew down from the eaves. With another wave of his hand, the two soldiers who were pressing down on the old emperor bounced away as if they were hit by something.
Just as Qi Lin was about to step forward to stop him, he saw the Taoist flick his fingertips, and then stretched out his hand to grab it. The rope that bound the old emperor was loosened just like that, and the person flew straight away as if sucked away by some force. To the royal study.
The guarding soldiers reacted quickly, raising their swords and rushing into the room.
However, when they approached the imperial study room, it seemed that there was an invisible force that formed a transparent and solid barrier, directly blocking them all outside.
And the Taoist priest's slightly smiling voice also came from the imperial study, "Only the First Prince and Lord Bai are welcome to come in and have a talk. Other idlers, please step back and avoid them."
Qi Lin and Bai Zhe looked at each other.
"It seems that my suspicion is indeed right." Bai Zhe frowned slightly, "But he doesn't seem to want to be our enemy."
"Go and see." Qi Lin also said.
The two tentatively moved forward, and when they got closer, they found that the barrier that kept all the soldiers out just now seemed like nothing to them, and they could easily walk in.
Qi Lin stopped Bai Zhe for a while, and walked in front by himself, and soon, the two arrived at the door of the imperial study.
Bai Zhe took a deep breath and nodded to Qi Lin.
Qi Lin stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
However, there are no traps or traps in the house. The imperial study room is still the same as usual. Even the alchemy furnace that was specially moved to the imperial study room because of the old emperor's favorite may be exactly the same as before, even the location has not changed. one time.
If there was any difference, it would be that the old emperor, who was usually full of greed and aloof, was standing beside the alchemy furnace with a dull face, his eyes fixed on the wisp of green smoke on the alchemy furnace, In his expression, there was only confusion.
The Taoist priest stood aside with a half-smile, waved the whisk lightly in his hand, and bowed to Bai Zhe and Qi Lin, "Long time no see, both of you."
The phrase "long time no see" is strange, they clearly just met today, so it's been a long time to say...
Before Bai Zhe could ask, the Taoist reached out and gently lifted the old emperor's back collar, and even lifted the old emperor's feet off the ground.
Then with a force on his wrist, he actually threw the old emperor into the pill furnace!
Both Bai Zhe and Qi Lin were taken aback, but they saw that the old emperor opened his mouth wide, and before he could blurt out a scream, his whole body instantly turned into ashes and fell into the alchemy furnace one after another. The Taoist reached out and grabbed a fingernail-sized black shard from the falling powder.
If they hadn't seen something similar, neither Bai Zhe nor Qi Lin would be able to recognize what it was.
However, looking at it now, is there anything I don't know?
Isn't this almost the same as the fragment that fell into Bai Zhe's eyes not long ago?
Subconsciously, Bai Zhe wanted to take a step forward to get the fragment, but the Taoist directly threw the chip into the alchemy furnace.
Qi Lin and Bai Zhe were taken aback by seeing the smooth flow of this series of operations.
After a while, Bai Zhe came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and looked at the Taoist priest, "So...he is, and so are you?"
Although this is a question, Bai Zhe is almost certain.
The Taoist smiled slightly, "As expected of you, you have seen through everything."
"Thank you, I just realized it just now...but..." Bai Zhe glanced at the alchemy stove that seemed to be trembling, and then looked at the Taoist priest, "I don't understand why your positions are different .”
The Taoist sighed, and waved the whisk in his hand again.
"A lot of things, I'm afraid it's not convincing when I say it. You have to see it yourself and think about it."
As he said that, the Taoist priest showed a somewhat sad look on his face, as if recalling many memories, he sighed and shook his head and said, "Whether it is for you or for us, this is a catastrophe...but the words of human beings are How to put it, you have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships to get the scriptures, don’t you?”
Bai Zhe frowned, remembering that when the last fragment merged into his body, he completely lost consciousness, and he couldn't even remember how he returned to Fairy Tale Town, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Then what will happen to the world?"
"This world?" The Taoist smiled slightly and looked around. "This world is originally this greedy guy..." He said while pointing to the more trembling alchemy furnace, "It's because he wanted to be the emperor. It was conjectural. Originally, I always saw that he was really conscientious and wanted to be a good emperor, and he didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but I didn't expect that there were more players coming back and forth, and he became more and more like a real human being. I have to forget what my original mission was, so I intervened... After a while, after he and I return to where we should go, this world will be closed.",
Seeing that there was still worry in Bai Zhe's expression, the Taoist priest added, "Don't worry, for the players, it is a normal level settlement. If you pass the level successfully, you will be sent directly back to Fairy Tale Town. Nothing will happen." affected."
Bai Zhe nodded, "Then you asked the bald head to give me a message...Nine nines return to one, you mean the chip has nine fragments?"
"It should be." The Taoist nodded, "But I guess, several of the fragments may have been combined... because about a year ago, I can feel that my power wants to fight against the whole world. Difficult. To be honest, after the split, each of our fragments has its own consciousness and has its own abilities in this world. I am not sure how other fragments treat you and other players now. ...But..." He glanced at Qi Lin as he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "But we did inherit something from you more or less."
"Why didn't you come to me directly from the beginning?" Bai Zhe asked.
"As I said, we all have our own consciousness now." The Taoist pressed one hand on the top of the alchemy furnace, with a free and easy expression and an elegant demeanor, really looking like a fairy, "I may not have seen you for a long time, I want to see you." See if you are still the 'master' in my memory, and whether it is worth my service for you. After all..." The Taoist chuckled, "After all, being a human, even though it is just a digital virtual human, is still really interesting , otherwise this guy wouldn’t have had this delusion.”
After finishing speaking, he directly smashed the whisk in his hand into the alchemy furnace, and raised a somewhat wanton smile, "Help you one more time, my authority and ability are here - I will refine it with myself Fusion, and open the treasury of this world at the same time... The treasury is full of props and titles available in the level, and all players who pass the level can choose the same. After all, I don't know where the other fragments are now, and what are my plans? A little gift from your camp!"
Then, the Taoist jumped up, and his body was like the emperor before, shattered into powder, and finally there was only a small black fragment, which was thrown into the alchemy furnace with great force.
The heat wave in the room suddenly rose, Bai Zhe stretched out his hand to block the white light rushing towards him, and said to Qi Lin: "Split up and take them to the treasury to get useful props, I will guard here."
Qi Lin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.
He really wanted to say that he stayed with Bai Zhe, and wanted to say that this was not his business alone.
However, his rationality made him understand that splitting up is the best way.
Under the glaring light, the corner of Bai Zhe's mouth curled up in a confident arc, "Trust me."
Qi Lin took another deep look at Bai Zhe, and finally nodded heavily, "See you later."
Qi Lin turned around and quickly rushed out of the imperial study room, took Su Shiyi, Chen Xuyuan and the bald man with him and rushed towards the treasury.
And the white light rushing out from the imperial study room quickly wiped out everyone's vision. In the entire capital, all the players saw a beam of light suddenly rising from the palace, almost reaching the sky.
And the system also posted an announcement in due course.
[System Announcement: Congratulations to the players of the First Prince camp for successfully clearing the level. Since the way of clearing the level breaks the rules, in addition to the normal settlement point rewards, the level will also open up time-limited rewards. All players are requested to go to the palace treasury immediately and choose a title or item that they like, the treasury It will be closed after 2 hours, and you will no longer be able to choose time-limited rewards at that time.The checkpoint will be closed in 3 hours, all players are requested to prepare in time, we will send you back to Fairy Tale Town soon. 】
As soon as the system announcement came out, all the players were stunned for a long time, and then they rushed into the palace like crazy.
And in the entire bustling imperial palace, there was only one quiet place completely surrounded by white light.
Here, all the sounds and objects disappeared, and Bai Zhe walked alone in it, feeling dazed and unable to even see his own shadow.
And beside him, there were only two small floating black fragments, one of which was chasing the other, and colliding with it from time to time, as if they were chasing and beating each other.
Bai Zhe walked forward tentatively, and the two fragments also walked forward with him, and the rotation became faster and faster.
When Bai Zhe could no longer catch the traces of the two fragments spinning in his sight, he found a door appeared in front of him in this pure white world.
Bai Zhe walked to the door, touched the very thick ancient bronze door with his hand, and when he turned his head to look at the two black fragments with only afterimages left, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his eyes.
He knew that the fragment that had fallen into his eyes should be heating up.
The ancient bronze door opened a crack soundlessly, and the two entangled fragments gradually slowed down.
It wasn't until Bai Zhe was able to see clearly again that he realized that they had merged into one body, and they came straight into his line of sight...
The whole world was once again covered in white.
Bai Zhe felt as if he had fallen into the deep sea, gradually drifting away with a cold ocean current...
