Liu Xuan didn't know how much dragon energy there was in the Qin Dynasty, and neither did the historians.

Shi Daoren only came to know such a thing after more than a hundred years because he has been practicing for a long time and because he likes to travel around and listen to the secrets and legends.

Coupled with some of his own searches and explorations, he only knew how to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, but he learned one thing based on some clues: the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was not that easy to enter.

"Pindao knows the way to enter, but there are many mechanisms inside to deal with intruders. With Pindao's cultivation level, he may be able to get through the first few levels, but the last level to protect the elixir will be difficult to handle.

."

Shi Daoren directly told the difficulties of this trip. He knew that although he and Liu Xuan were both monks, Liu Xuan was now the emperor of the entire Han Dynasty. People sitting in such high positions must have tempers, especially

I can't tolerate being used and deceived by others, and I want to get their help, so it's better to explain the matter clearly first, otherwise the emperor will feel that he has been deceived, and he will not be able to please him.

It's okay for ordinary emperors. Shi Daoren is confident that he will have the means to leave even if he offends him. But this is different. This is an emperor who knows the real mystical arts and is very powerful. If he is really angry, he may not be able to get it.

.

Based on these considerations, Shi Daoren told all the information he knew: "The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is located east of Chang'an, but if we want to enter it, we definitely cannot use normal methods. There is a place in the southeast of Chang'an where we can directly enter the Emperor's Mausoleum.

Go inside the mausoleum."

"Could it be that a passage was cracked due to an earthquake or something?" Liu Xuan's guess was not unreasonable, but he soon overturned this guess.

As far as he knew, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum had not been fully opened even after 1,800 years. The so-called Qin Emperor's Mausoleum in later generations was only the outermost part, which showed that the inside was never exposed to the outside at all.

This proves that during this period, the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum did not have a natural entrance due to terrain changes.

"The entrance is an entrance, but it is not an ordinary entrance."

Shi Daoren shook his head: "The senior who helped create the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum was indeed a great sage... and he was proficient in formations. He used the structure of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum and the surrounding terrain to create a formation that allowed people to enter and exit."

"Teleportation array?" Shi Daoren was having trouble explaining, but Liu Xuan understood it right away. After saying so much, didn't he mean that the monk who helped build the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum left a backdoor? And it was in the form of a teleportation array.

"Originally, the formation could only be used within a certain period of time... But due to the changes in the terrain and the movement of the earth's veins, the formation also changed... Pindao went to check a while ago and found that the formation was not destroyed, and it was very

Fortunately, within the next month, this formation can be used. But after this month...then..."

Liu Xuan nodded, and then he realized that the formation had a time limit. No wonder Shi Daoren would run to Chang'an during this period, probably just to see if he could see him, and then invite himself to the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum. The result was just right.

Catching up with him and wanting to go on patrol saved the Taoist historian a lot of trouble.

From the current point of view, the opportunity is only in the next month. If he succeeds... he will naturally get the elixir he wants, and Liu Xuan can also get the suppressed Qin Chao Dragon Qi.

If you miss this period, the formation cannot be used... If you want to enter the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum? I'm afraid you have to dig - this kind of behavior is particularly easy to destroy the Emperor's Mausoleum. If someone is not careful, the entire Emperor's Mausoleum will be destroyed.

Then you will never be able to get the contents inside again.

Maybe some of the dragon energy will escape, but don't even think about the elixir.

In fact, Liu Xuan is more inclined to enter the underground palace, because he now attaches great importance to the dragon energy. If he can get all of it, even if he cannot raise the golden dragon to a mature state, he can still make the golden dragon grow up a little bit.

With his cultivation level high, he can do many things as he pleases. Apart from other things... he can use his dragon energy to directly affect the civil servants and generals who have been canonized by him, so that their cultivation speed will also change.

Gotta go faster.

This will naturally be of great help to his ultimate goal, and he has absolutely no reason to miss it.

"A month?"

Liu Xuan's fingers began to tap on the table in front of him unconsciously. The force was not very strong, but it was very conspicuous in this quiet and strange tent.

Shi Daoren could tell that Liu Xuan was thinking about it... He sat aside without saying a word. Although his eyes were looking at nothing, his ears were always paying attention to the sound of Liu Xuan's fingers tapping on the table.

When he heard the sound suddenly stop, the corners of Shi Daoren's mouth curled up slightly, knowing that Liu Xuan had already made a decision.

Sure enough, Liu Xuan called out and called Cao Bao in, who had been waiting outside. He immediately gave an order: "Go and call Gongda and Han Sheng. I have something to tell them."

Cao Bao didn't ask any more questions, and turned around to look for the two of them. After a while, he called them over and let them into the tent.

Huang Zhong and Xun You were both busy with their own affairs. When Cao Bao found them, they had just finished their work. They were about to take a rest when they saw the emperor's ministers coming over, and they didn't bother to rest.

Yes, I hurried over.

As soon as they entered the tent, they saw the Shi Taoist from Prince Hongnong's Palace sitting aside. The Empress had his eyes closed as if he was dozing. After the two of them opened their mouths to greet each other, Liu Xuan opened his eyes and motioned for them to sit down.

Say it again.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Liu Xuan say: "We will arrange for the soldiers to have a good rest today. We will go southeast of Chang'an early tomorrow morning."

"Huh? Southeast of Chang'an?"

Huang Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect that the emperor would actually issue such an order? Because their group came out of the west gate of Chang'an and walked west at the beginning. After all, the emperor's inspection of the northwest mainly targeted the west of Chang'an and the north of the Qinling Mountains.

of these counties.

Why did it suddenly change its route to the southeast? Could it be that the emperor wanted to take a look near Tongguan?

There is nothing wrong with going to Tongguan. Although Chang'an still controls Tongguan now, it is very different from when Dong Zhuo was there, because the east of Chang'an is now controlled by Kong Rong.

Kong Rong was also a loyal minister of the imperial court. Even if it was a separatist regime, he would comply with any edict issued by the imperial court. Generally speaking, it was within the imperial court's sphere of influence. However, Liu Xuan was busy governing the northwest and had not yet sent Hongnong and others to the imperial court.

The two armies in Henan have the idea of ​​taking back the direct control of the imperial court - because the situation around them will be more complicated after they are taken back. At present, the imperial court only has so many troops. Without a significant increase in strength, it is better not to be greedy for more.

Due to various circumstances, although Tongguan is not very safe now, it is not too dangerous. At least the west side of Tongguan will be fine. If the emperor wants to go, as long as he takes appropriate measures, it will not be a big deal.

Although Huang Zhong was curious as to why the emperor suddenly came up with such an idea, he still respectfully accepted the order.

As for Xun You? He didn't care even more. Anyway, he came out just to inspect the agricultural work in various places. Where to go but to see? Just follow the emperor.

Moreover, he was keenly aware that the emperor suddenly changed his mind and changed his course, which had a lot to do with the Taoist Shi. As soon as he saw the Taoist, Xun You naturally thought of those Xuanmen methods, "Maybe they are related to the cultivation matters?"

He had such a guess in his mind, but did not ask. Instead, Liu Xuan simply explained: "This Taoist scholar said that there is a rare treasure in the southeast of Chang'an. I want to go and get it myself."

"Exotic treasure..."

Huang Zhong didn't say anything. He didn't know what the so-called exotic treasure was, but it didn't seem like it should be among his concerns.

On the other hand, Xun You became more and more certain that it must be something related to mystical arts, and it must be a treasure that His Majesty thinks is particularly helpful for cultivation.

He didn't know that he had already guessed the truth infinitely, and Liu Xuan didn't know that Xun You had almost learned everything. He just said to Xun You suddenly after finishing his instructions: "This trip is entirely dependent on your ministers. The Han Dynasty was promoted to Jingzhou

I have also heard of his achievements, so I issued an edict to transfer Han Sheng to the capital."

"Now that the imperial court is employing people, Han Sheng will definitely be able to make contributions on the battlefield in the future! However, there are still many things that Han Sheng needs to be familiar with first. If you have time, you might as well talk to Gongda more."

These words sounded to Huang Zhong as the emperor expressing his respect for him and making himself a modest promise. Naturally, he was very happy.

But Xun You heard that the emperor wanted to lay the foundation for Huang Zhong himself. He looked up at the emperor and saw that the emperor was nodding slightly towards him. He knew that he had understood correctly, so he handed over his hand and said, "I happen to also want to talk to you."

General Huang is so close and dear!”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xuan knew that Xun You understood. He nodded and said a few words to the two of them before asking them to leave.

Huang Zhong didn't think there was anything wrong. After leaving the tent, he was ready to go back to rest. However, he didn't expect Xun You to leave. Instead, he stepped forward and said, "If nothing happens, General Huang, I just have something to say to General Huang."

Huang Zhong was stunned for a while when he heard this. He originally thought that the emperor's words were just casual polite words, and Xun You, the Minister of Household Affairs, agreed that it was just a small talk. Who would have thought that Xun You really wanted to talk to him?

Want to get close?, but the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said so, Huang Zhong naturally would not refuse to give him any face, so he nodded and took Xun You to his tent.

Liu Xuan, who had been paying attention to these things, naturally heard clearly. He opened his eyes and smiled slightly. He knew that if this trip goes well, Huang Zhong can be trained.

Originally, he wanted to teach him personally, but he didn't want Shi Daoren to bring him such news, so he asked Xun You to do the basic things.

Anyway, he has to personally come forward to deal with more profound magic techniques and weapons. He is not afraid of not having the opportunity to show mercy. Besides, this time to get the Dragon Qi of the Qin Dynasty, it is not an opportunity for Huang Zhong. If there is something in the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum,

Liu Xuan would definitely not be stingy about rare treasures, and would reward them to everyone nearby. If Huang Zhong showed up, he would naturally benefit.

Right now...

"Now that we have this opportunity, let's go and clear the copy of Emperor Qin's Tomb first!"!
