Chapter Seventy-Two: Fleeing for Your Life
At this moment, the seriously injured Emperor Lie was hiding in a secret passage.
This secret passage was built during the period of Emperor Wu and can directly lead to the outside of the palace.
Back then, in order to leave a back road for future generations, Emperor Wu secretly built this secret road. The formation to protect the secret path was arranged by Yun He's mother, Yun Xue Ji.
Although Emperor Lie and Yunhe are not in harmony, they are also his own sons, the palm of the hand is meat, and the back of the hand is also meat, before Emperor Wu died, he called his two sons Yunhe and Yunlie to his side and told them the existence of this secret road.
The key to this secret passage is the king's jade seal. In the future, even if the throne changes hands, whether Yun He is the king, or Yun Lie firmly guards the throne, it will finally give the successor an extra layer of protection.
At this moment, Emperor Lie collapsed in a corner of the secret passage, gasping for breath. He didn't expect that since he ascended the throne, he had been high on the top, but he would have such a failed day.
He was extremely badly wounded.
The internal organs were shattered, and the sea of qi was destroyed. If it weren't for the fact that he drank the fox blood of his imperial brother Yunhe half a month ago, and refined the power of the Divine Book Space and the Vortex, his realm would have been improved, and he would have been killed on the spot with the blow of the priest just now, and it would be impossible for him to escape into the secret passage alive and breathe here.
He smiled wryly.
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect that I would regard you as a long-cherished enemy all my life, but at the most critical moment, it was you who protected me in the dark. In this life, I have been blinded by jealousy, and I have done too many wrong things, and now I am reaping the consequences......"
He muttered to himself sadly.
How much did he regret that he regarded Yunhe as an enemy in the past, if he had listened to his father's words and worked together to protect the Chiyan Country, how could there be a catastrophe for the Brahman priests to seize the throne and bring disaster to the country today?
There is no regret medicine in this world.
Caused by depression, Emperor Lie vomited another mouthful of blood.
If the sea of qi is destroyed, then the cultivation will be lost, and with serious internal injuries, he is not even as good as an ordinary person now.
Hiding in the secret passage, you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime, sooner or later the priest will find this place, and he must escape from this place before his physical strength is exhausted.
Ironically, he found that there was probably no place for him in the whole world. Now that the priest has taken control of the imperial capital, his claws will soon extend to the entire Red Flame Kingdom.
Is there no hope for the Red Flame Country?
In despair, Emperor Lie's mind reminded him of Yunhe's open-minded, kind, and compassionate figure.
That's right, now Yunhe is his only hope.
Tang Zixi said that Yunhe was resurrected.
After the incident at the Shengluo Sacrifice Ground, Tang Zixi must have taken Yunhe back to Shenmeng Mountain to live in seclusion.
If you can rush to Shenmeng Mountain to ventilate and report the news, maybe you can invite them to clean up the priests!
Thinking of this, Emperor Lie's eyes became firm!
Now he can't die here!
However, dragging this seriously injured body, it is impossible to survive to Shenmeng Mountain, which is thousands of miles away.
Just when Emperor Lie was desperate, a burst of elixir fragrance wafted in.
Could it be that this secret passage still contains emergency elixirs or medicines?
Emperor Lie struggled to his feet, and with great difficulty, he moved towards the place where the incense emanated.
After turning a corner, I found a stone chamber with a stone frame with many jade bottles on it.
Danxiang wafted out of this stone room!
He endured the severe pain and walked to the stone frame, picked up one of the bottles, unscrewed the cap, put it to his nose and smelled it, and immediately overjoyed!
Luck is so good! It turned out to be a bottle of holy product replenishing Yuan Dan!
Emperor Lie immediately sat cross-legged, took two holy products to replenish the Yuan Pill, and began to refine the spirit pill, and soon his injuries were basically healed.
If what was stored here was just an ordinary Replenishing Yuan Pill, I am afraid that after refining another hundred grains, his injuries would not recover so quickly.
Regaining a slight strength in his hands and feet, Emperor Lie looked at all the bottles on the bookshelf again.
In addition to the Holy Product Replenishing Yuan Pill, there are also Holy Mt. Pulp Cleansing Pills, as well as other elixirs that strengthen the body and replenish physical strength. It's just that the number of each spirit pill is very small, and the largest number of holy products is only five pills. However, Emperor Lie's most needed holy product now is only one Purifying Pill.
All of these elixirs have reached holy products. Such a level of elixir cannot be refined by an alchemist in the mortal world.
"Father, what do you have to do with God?" Emperor Lie was puzzled.
These elixirs are very precious and very rare, otherwise they would not have been hidden in the secret passage for decades, and they would not be easily used unless they had to.
Although Emperor Lie had a lot of questions about his father, Emperor Wu, at this moment, he was full of gratitude to his father.
Because even when his father was dying, he was reluctant to use these elixirs to continue his life, and would rather die from now on, but also leave a way back for him.
In the past, Emperor Lie always blamed his father for being partial to his brother Yunhe, but today he suddenly realized that his father's love for himself and his brother was the same, and he misunderstood him......
Holding back his grief and tears, Emperor Lie refined the only Holy Purifying Pill, reshaped the sea of qi in a short period of time, and cultivated to restore it to the Primordial Realm.
Although his cultivation was completely lost, his comprehension was still there, and the power of the fox blood precipitated in his physique had not been exhausted, otherwise it would be impossible to recover to the Primordial Realm so quickly.
The First Yuan Realm was not enough to see in front of the shadow puppet of the priest, but at least it gave him the strength to escape from the palace.
In addition to the elixir, there are many other stone chambers in the secret passage, which store countless magic weapons, gold, silver and jewelry. Of course, there is food, but it has been more than 30 years, and this grain has long been moldy.
Emperor Lie used the space ring to put away the magic weapons and gold and silver jewelry here, and then ran in the direction of the exit.
"Bang!", Emperor Lie pushed open the last door of the secret passage, and appeared on a hillside ten miles away from the palace.
The exit to the secret passage then closes automatically, in order to prevent the pursuit of the Imperial Palace.
Standing at the top of the hillside and looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace, you can see that the once glorious and magnificent Imperial Palace is shrouded in a black fog, and this black fog is spreading around, and it seems that it has submerged under this hillside.
"Cut! Looks like time is running out......"
Emperor Lie gritted his teeth with hatred.
Emperor Lie was thinking that the priest would not have guessed that he had fled to this place now.
However, after the priest took control of the palace, he would definitely send shadow puppets and guards to intercept him, searching for him throughout the Red Flame Country, and it would not be easy to avoid being caught.
Emperor Lie didn't dare to stay for a moment, and immediately set off towards Qingtong County. At that time, the priests were busy rectifying the palace, and before they had fully baptized the Chiyan Kingdom, Emperor Lie had a little time to escape.
When Emperor Lie ran down the hillside, the village was covered in black mist.
This black fog can only be seen by the eyes of monks. The people here are all ordinary people, they are completely unalert and are living and working as usual.
Once it is eroded by the black mist, it will be controlled by the priests.
Whether it is a man in the prime of life who is doing farm work in the field, a woman doing housework in her yard, or an old man enjoying his old age in the shade under a tree, once eroded by the black fog, the whites of the eyes in the pupils will be swallowed by the darkness and become a puppet with empty eyes.
They put down what they were holdings, staggered to their feet, and then walked step by step towards the west in the direction of the spread of the black fog.
"Kill Yunhe, kill Tang Zixi......"
All they could say was the same phrase over and over again.
Emperor Lie, who was hiding behind a tree, watched his Li people become puppets with his own eyes, and he was grief-stricken!
He is the king of this country, but he can't protect his own people, it's his fault!
Black mist hung all around him. He knew that it was these black fogs that made these ordinary people like this.
He quickly covered his mouth and held his breath.
However, the black mist could seep through his skin and into his limbs, even if he held his breath, it was useless.
"Is the sky going to die...... Emperor Lie's eyes were full of fire, he was very unwilling. When he thought that he would become the kind of person who was not like a human and a ghost who was not like a ghost, he would rather die immediately! If the priests saw him, they would definitely make fun of him.
But what he feared didn't happen.
As soon as the black mist seeped into his meridians, before he could reach the sea of qi, he was purified by an ancient and divine power.
It's the remnants of the fox blood power in his bloodline at work!
"Brother Huang, I didn't expect you to save me again......" Emperor Lie burst into tears.
When the group of puppets walked away, Emperor Lie came out from behind the tree, he quickly picked a fast horse from the nearby stable, and rode at a gallop, he planned to bypass this group of puppets and take a small road to Qingtong County.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the horse started, it attracted the attention of the group of puppets! They screamed strangely in the "...... of Titicacaca", turned around one after another, and chased after Emperor Lie.
Golems have special sensing abilities that allow them to sniff out normal humans in the vicinity. As long as they find a normal human, they will attack like crazy until the other party is assimilated by the black mist and becomes one of them.
The puppets are all changed by ordinary people, and they have no cultivation, and with the current realm of Emperor Lie, they are more than capable of dealing with them. But there were too many of them, and even if they could defeat them all, it would take a lot of physical strength, and Emperor Lie didn't want to waste his precious physical strength and time on them.
Emperor Lie understood the importance of conserving physical strength. Instead of attacking the golems, he desperately sped up the speed of his horses, leaving them far behind.
At the same time, the priest who was sitting firmly on the dragon chair in the main hall snorted in surprise:
"Emperor Lie, I didn't expect you to be still alive, it's really surprising that you still escaped to such a far place after being slapped by me! ”
It turns out that all those who become puppets, their eyes will become the eyes of the priests.
They had already reported the news of the discovery of Emperor Lie to the priests.
The priest took out the black crystal ball and recited an ancient incantation, he wanted to summon more shadow puppets to "beckon" the Emperor......
The remnant sun was like blood, and a fast horse came from afar, raising the dust on the ground. A man could be seen hunched on horseback. But the man was clearly out of strength, his body was almost completely attached to the horse's back, his hair was scattered, and his face could not be seen.
