Chapter 156: Sneaking Out of Luoyang
About half an hour later, Li Shimin was already standing outside the walls of Luoyang City.
The process of him coming out of the Tang State Mansion can be described as smooth sailing. The enshrinement sorcerer of the Guogong Mansion was indeed negligent on the back wall of the Weishan Hall. He just used two barrier-breaking talismans prepared in advance, plus the knowledge he had accumulated on the two array talismans, and easily jumped out of the courtyard wall, without alarming anyone the whole time.
But the process of going out of the city after that was a little thrilling. Li Shimin's method of entering and exiting the Eastern Capital was to jump into the Luo River with his armor and sneak all the way to the bottom of the river until he walked out of the Xicheng Water Gate.
- If it had been a month ago, Li Shimin would never have been able to do this.
But now that he has become a golden pill, he has two grades of true yuan, a body of spiritual power, and has also entered the innate realm, and his qi veins are far longer than ordinary people, and it is no problem to persist under the water for a moment without ventilation.
In addition, he also has a 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' that he can use, this first-grade magic weapon, he has never been able to break the prohibition inside, and he can't refine it.
But after his spiritual power broke through the three grades and was promoted to the innate level, he easily refined it.
At that time, the prohibitions in this 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' were all gone.
Li Shimin guessed that this was the handwriting of Qinghua Yuanjun, Jiang Hengkong was definitely not the owner of the 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower', and the real master of this magic weapon must be someone else, and his cultivation was superb. Therefore, it is difficult for other sorcerers to sacrifice this thing.
But in the eyes of Qinghua Yuanjun, the forbidden law in this 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' is naturally nothing, and it can be solved with a slight raise of his hand.
However, this 'effort' made him owe a great favor.
With the 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' in hand, Li Shimin only needs to store some air in this magic weapon in advance, so that he can ventilate under the water, and it will be no problem to hold on for two or three hours.
In fact, with his current spiritual power cultivation, he can also perform a sixth-grade 'water avoidance technique'. can create a three-foot square air hood around his body, allowing people to walk freely in it and breathe freely,
It's a pity that the sixth-grade technique is far more difficult than the eighth-grade and ninth-grade, and Li Shimin doesn't plan to wait any longer.
However, he sneaked all the way, although it was unimpeded, but after arriving at the Xicheng Water Gate, he found that this was not just a big iron gate, but also dozens of iron pillars were nailed into the bottom of the iron gate, which was covered with runes, and was connected with the gate, not giving people any space to enter and exit the water gate.
In addition, the soldiers of the forbidden army patrolling above are also extremely vigilant, and every hundred breaths, they will launch a magic circle to search for underwater movements. There were several times during this period, and Li Shimin was almost discovered.
Fortunately, this 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' is not only a rare space magic weapon, but also has a certain ability to isolate spiritual power.
Jiang Hengkong that day used this thing to isolate him from the outside world. The people of the Dou Mansion failed to discover the abnormality at the entrance of the East Courtyard at the first time.
At this time, in the face of these military magicians who belonged to the government army, as well as the exploration circle of the Water Gate, this 'Purple Qi Qiankun Tower' also had a miraculous effect.
And just after Li Shimin waited for half a moment, when he almost wanted to give up, a few Wuya warships happened to leave the city, making the water gate of the West City open.
Li Shimin didn't dare to risk going out of the city directly, and he had always clinged to the bottom of a big ship, and he arrived outside the eastern capital without danger.
- In fact, with Li Shimin's identity, there is no need to be so sneaky.
Although his father, Tang Guogong, ordered him to be grounded at home, if Li Shimin really wanted to leave the mansion, in fact, no one in the Tang Mansion could stop him.
And a dignified Qianniu is prepared, and the three divisions are the same, and there is a way to leave Luoyang at the moment when the city gate is locked.
But the problem is that Li Shimin doesn't want his trip to the suburbs to be known to anyone. Especially those embroidered guards who have been around the Tang Mansion like flies since the death of his third brother.
In addition, there are also those masterminds of the traitors, the murderer of the third brother, who cannot be guarded against.
As far as he knew, there were still many killers in the Eastern Capital City who were eyeing him. Obviously, the 500,000 yuan bounty given by the mysterious force has not been canceled.
So once his current whereabouts are revealed, maybe he will face another deadly siege, which Li Shimin never wants to see.
※ ※ ※ ※
After leaving the eastern capital, Li Shimin rushed all the way to the west. He didn't dare to walk the road, so he could only run through the mountains and forests. But the dexterity and speed of the hundred armor are also enough to do the job. And the ink stone that Li Shimin had stored in the Purple Qi Qiankun Tower was enough for him to gallop for a day and a night with a power of 120%.
Of course, in order to achieve the highest output power, it is not only enough ink and stone to achieve the highest output power, but also the true element of martial cultivation.
And this time, Li Shimin has enough qi and blood true yuan to supply the loss of the hundred armor.
This time is also different from the previous trip to Tailing, Li Shimin is not dragged down by others, and the Baijia is full of power, plus the help of a seven-grade 'wind technique', he galloped with all his might, and the speed can be described as galloping, terrifyingly fast. It only took less than an hour to gallop for 820 miles, directly crossing the Tongguan.
It's just that after Li Shimin arrived here, he was already out of breath. Although the Hundred Armor is only a handsome ink armor, it can fully urge the subsequent wear and tear, which is not trivial.
Even if he has now formed a golden pill and cultivated to the second grade, he can only support a little more than an hour. By this time, it was almost time to run out of oil.
This kind of ability is already quite remarkable. If it had been a month ago, when he was still a fourth-grade martial cultivator, he would not have been able to produce the twelve percent strength of the Hundred Armor at all. And even if he used all his true yuan to urge and agitate, he could only insist on about one cup of tea at most, which was far from what he was capable of now.
- In short, running nearly a thousand miles in one hour is an ability that only a martial artist of the second rank or above can have.
Li Shimin finally chose the top of a towering hill and stopped. After he lifted his face armor, he immediately took an elixir to restore the true vitality and blood, and then while pranayama, he tried his best to calm the burning pain caused by the emptiness of the true yuan in his body, and took out a coarse cloth, compared it with the dark red lines on it, and looked in all directions.
The latter is a map given by the old beggar before he died, painted in blood on the basis of coarse cloth. And what is recorded in it is part of the goods left by Shi Wansui in the past.
After Shi Wansui was violently killed in court in the court, although the first emperor was remorseful, he withdrew the holy decree of copying his family and sitting together. However, his family was persecuted by the late Duke of Chu Yang Su and today's son Yang Guang, but they had to flee in all directions in order to survive.
And Shi Huan, an old beggar at that time, was ordered by Shi Huaiyi, the son of Shi Wansui, to escape from Chang'an with part of the family wealth left by Shi Wansui.
However, this was forced by Yang Su's eagle dog at that time, and he couldn't escape far with those belongings. In order to get out easily, Shi Huan could only bury the wealth of these Shi families in the east of Kechang'an, not far from Tongguan, in this uninhabited valley - that is, not far from here.
The drawings left by Shi Huan are quite detailed, and Li Shimin searched according to the maps, and it didn't take long to find a secret mark left by this person under a cliff.
Only a slight difference from ten years ago is that this was originally a loess place, which is already overgrown with weeds and a lot of rockfall.
Fortunately, there were no landslides or mudslides, otherwise Li Shimin might not have found them even if he had the drawings in hand.
And when he used the tools hidden in the Purple Qi Qiankun Pagoda to dig three zhang underground, he saw dozens of intact ink boxes, neatly arranged under the pit.
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly flashed, and he raised his hand slightly, and lifted one of the ink boxes that was three feet square, golden all over, and painted with magic patterns on the surface. I thought that this should be what Shi Huan said, that king-level ink armor.
This armor is called 'Sunset Thunder', and it is made by the famous craftsman Yingsheng hook in the former Great Qin - the latter is one of the producers of the 'Twelve Golden Men', and is a famous master craftsman in the pre-Qin era.
And this king-level battle armor, even in all the works of Yingsheng Hook's life, is enough to rank in the top five.
Coupled with the abundant aura in the pre-Qin period, the number of heavenly and earthly treasures is far greater than today, so the strength of this armor is far from being comparable to those king-level battle armors after the Three Kingdoms.
It's a pity that after the Eastern Han Dynasty, this armor has fallen into the hands of the northern aliens. It wasn't until the nineteenth year of the emperor's reign that Shi Wansui and Yang Liang, the king of Han, went out of Shuozhou, conquered the Turks in the north, and killed four king-level generals in the grassland battle, and broke the Bujia Khan, which recaptured this 'sunset thunder', and returned to the Central Plains.
Afterwards, several nobles of the court wanted to buy this armor with millions of pieces of gold, but they were all rejected by Shi Wansui. For this person who loves armor like his life, this king-level battle armor in the pre-Qin era is not only an extremely valuable collection, but also a treasure that has enough heirlooms, how can it be easily sold?
Not to mention millions of pieces of gold, even 10 million pieces may not be able to make Shi Wansui loosen.
Li Shimin was also happy to see the hunt, and took a closer look. But through this layer of ink box, he couldn't see anything. And the time is not enough, otherwise you can replace your own hundred armor and try the feeling of this 'sunset thunder'.
After Li Shimin's divine armor was placed in the Purple Qi Qiankun Tower, he looked at the other treasures below.
According to the old beggar, Shi Wansui didn't pay much attention to money during his lifetime, but he liked all kinds of ink armor and war equipment, so there was not much money in those 'family wealth', mainly ink armor and weapons. In addition to the 'Sunset Thunder', it also includes a full forty sets of cavalry armor, twenty sets of general-level battle armor, six sets of handsome-level, and three rare divine weapons.
And among them, Li Shimin cares about the latter the most.
