The Emperor took a deep breath, as if he was sorting out his thoughts. "Speaking of Chiyan Mountain, in fact, this also starts with my attack on Chrysanthemum Island. ”

Ding Qin said, "What the emperor said, but the Chrysanthemum Island in the Starry Sea?"

The emperor nodded, "That's right, it's the Chrysanthemum Island in the Starry Sea." At that time, I was forced to withdraw my troops from Tianwu Kingdom, and I couldn't vent my depression in my heart. It happened to be learned that in the sea of stars, there is a chrysanthemum island. The island is rich in longevity-prolonging miracle meat chrysanthemums, and the island has always been an independent tribe that has not yet been established, so I pointed the finger at it. ”

"At first, I sent two hundred men to investigate. After figuring out the sea route and basic information, I sent an army of 50,000 to attack Chrysanthemum Island directly. Soon, the island fell to me. ”

"And while cleaning the mansion where its tribal chief was located, we found a map from it. It was a nautical chart. Part of the charts, to be exact. There is a route marked, although incomplete, without a beginning and no affiliation, but there is a key piece of information. That is, on the label of the route, it is written that Chiyan Mountain. ”

"I was deeply shocked to get this picture. Chiyan Mountain has always been a heart disease for me. So, I made up my mind to find out the location of Chiyan Mountain. I first asked more than 1,000 navigators to identify the location of the chart, and after obtaining the basic data, I sent five waves of people, about 100 people in each wave, but none of them were heard. Later, after analysis, we determined that the route was going to pass through the sea near the Star Empire, maybe it was a large number of people, and it was discovered and wiped out by the Star Empire. ”

"After that, we changed our strategy. We're ready to send a single man on the mission. There are three conditions that must be met by this person. ”

"The first, absolute loyalty. The people sent before were all people directly under the province and the personal guard, and they were selected at various levels, which was very reliable. And when sending out a single person, it must also be able to meet the standard. ”

"Second, it has considerable reconnaissance and improvisation ability, and has good cultivation to deal with general troubles. ”

"Third, considering that you may want to get close to the Star Empire, you need to have a certain understanding of the Star Empire, preferably very well. ”

And your father fits these three points. The first two points, needless to say. And the third point, no one can match him. When he was not promoted to the rank of defending the city, he was specifically responsible for gathering intelligence on the Star Glory Kingdom. Later, after being promoted to the general of the city defense, he was also a senior advisor to the defense military command of the Xuantian Empire's Star Glory Direction, and a member of the imperial family's exclusive think tank. ”

"It is precisely for this reason that I personally drafted the letter and entrusted this task to your relatives Ding Shouyi. At the same time, in order to protect the Ding family, I also used a series of means. If you've already seen secret letters, you should know about them. ”

But I didn't expect that he would never return, and he was never heard from. After him, I thought about sending someone to investigate, but I didn't do it again for fear of causing trouble. ”

At this point, the emperor stopped. Judging from his expression, he may also have a lot of emotion now.

Ding Qin said, "Then, in this way, in fact, the emperor doesn't know where this Chiyan Mountain is. Including saying that my father may not be in Chiyan Mountain either, but on the way to Chiyan Mountain. ”

The emperor said, "That's right. Actually, it's this picture. ”

He reached into his arms and pulled out a delicate locket. When opened, it was just a palm-sized piece of sheepskin. Above, there is a vast sea, with only a few small dots, like islands. In the sea, there is a dotted line, and the words Chiyan Mountain are marked on the side.

The emperor handed the map to Ding Qin, "You want to find your father, I support you." This is my first gift to you. ”

Ding Qin glanced at Xu Zhinuo first, and when he saw Xu Zhinuo, he also nodded, so he took it over and put it away properly.

The Emperor nodded. "There was another reason why I didn't send anyone to look for it later. That was the legacy of Emperor Lingyuan. Because I found a place. The puzzle of this place makes me think that it may be more important than going to find Chiyan Mountain. ”

"Is it Emperor Lingyuan again......" Ding Qin muttered. Because he had entered the tomb of Emperor Lingyuan, he was particularly sensitive when he mentioned this name.

The emperor said, "Yes." Because I am a person, first, I like to open up the territory and take Lingyuan as an example, and second, I like to investigate and research, and get to the bottom of everything. While researching the entire palace, and especially the former residence of Emperor Lingyuan, I discovered a secret room. ”

"Secret room?" This time, not only Ding Qin, but even Xu Zhizhi involuntarily repeated it.

"Hmm. At this time, the emperor stood up again and paced a few steps, as if he was thinking, and as if he was moving his body that had not moved for a long time. "The Chamber of Secrets is located under the Emperor's bed. According to the expert inspection, the entire secret room is not large, but an extremely strong formation prohibition is used. We can't open it directly for fear of damage. ”

"Most of the secret room is carved out of the Nine Heavens Dark Iron as a whole, and in the middle part, it seems to be a door, embedded in it with white jade. And in the middle of the white jade, there is a piece missing, like a key that can be opened. ”

Nine Heavens Dark Iron! White Jade Key!

Hearing this, Ding Qin's heart trembled slightly.

How consistent this is with what was found in the Longkou Oasis at that time!

The emperor said, "Actually, the reason why I temporarily stopped looking for Chiyan Mountain was because of the handwriting on the secret room. The above is the masterstroke of Emperor Lingyuan, mainly to say that the information of the lord of the continent is in this room. Future generations of kings, if they can't enter my tomb and can't get the white jade key, even if there are clues about the dominance of the continent, don't easily explore them, otherwise, they will lose their lives at least and lose their country at worst. ”

The emperor sighed again, "However, I've been looking for so many years, and I don't even know what the white jade key is. The legacy of our ancestors cannot be violated. Probably, I'm not a great king. Just like this time, if it weren't for the timely help of the two of you, I'm afraid I would have been sent to the west sky. ”

Ding Qin's heart suddenly became complicated now. He wasn't sure if he was going to tell the emperor about his entry into the tomb of Emperor Lingyuan. Because trespassing in the royal tomb is a capital offense.

may have seen that Ding Qin had something on his mind, and the emperor actually took the initiative to ask, "Ding Qin, what are you thinking?"

"Oh no, nothing. Ding Qin was slightly flustered for a while, and this performance naturally aroused the emperor's vigilance. Of course, he could also just be curious.

Xu Zhinuo stepped forward at this time and said, "Emperor, Ding Qin's knowledge is extremely rich, and he knows a lot of things that we don't understand. Actually, I have a suggestion. Since Ding Qin has made great contributions in saving the emperor's life, his loyalty to the empire is also clearly visible, and his father is even more loyal to the empire, so it is better to let him also take a look at the Lingyuan secret room. Maybe he can give us some inspiration. ”

After listening to this, the emperor did not express his position, and paced back and forth for many steps. After a long time, he said, "Okay. However, you must keep your mouth shut about what you see, and you must not leak half of it. ”

Xu Zhinuo nodded and said, "I believe Ding Qin in this." ”

Ding Qin also stated that he would never spread the word.

The Emperor took a deep breath, "That's good. Let's go now. After speaking, he pressed a position next to the bed and slightly injected some spiritual power into it. After a crisp sound outside, Mr. Cao brought people in again.

The emperor said first, "It seems that my spiritual power is also recovering. I didn't expect to recover so quickly. ”

When these servants saw that the emperor had been detoxified, they shouted one by one. The emperor said, "This time I was born in a desperate place, and I am fortunate to have the grace of my ancestors." According to my practice, whenever there is a major event, I have to worship Emperor Lingyuan. Manager Cao, you go and arrange it quickly. ”

Hearing him say this, Ding Qin also understood how the emperor had worshiped Emperor Lingyuan as an example.

Mr. Cao stepped back. After a while, the emperor said, "Let's go too." ”

With the promise of the emperor and Xu Zhi, surrounded by a group of servants, Ding Qin slowly walked out of this bedroom. Outside, too, after turning around, people entered another room. The emperor was still the same as before, and asked Chief Manager Cao to lead people to retreat, close the door, turn on a switch, and enter the inner room of this room.

Inside is a very spacious bedroom. Probably due to the closure, there is basically no trace of dust to be seen. In front of Emperor Lingyuan's bed, the emperor first knelt down and bowed, and then stepped forward and lightly touched an extremely hidden mechanism under the bed.

The bed slowly descended and then slid inward. The emperor said, "Come and see." ”

Ding Qin stepped forward and leaned in to take a look. What he saw was exactly what the emperor had described.

The whole of the Nine Heavens Xuantie has a round white jade embedded in the middle. On the entire device, the formation lines are densely carved, and there is no flaw. In the middle of the white jade, there was a groove, which was the shape of the key that Ding Qin had discovered earlier.

And on the Nine Heavens Xuantie under the white jade, the words engraved are also exactly the same as what the emperor said.

From this point of view, Emperor Lingyuan may indeed have discovered something related to the domination of the continent. But, just to prevent this thing from becoming a disaster, he sealed it up.

Because, with his ability and strength, he has not been able to change all this, and among the descendants, how many people can do it?

For a while, Ding Qin was a little afraid of the things in this secret room.

What's in it?

However, deep down in his heart, there was a very strong desire for what was in it.

Because so far, there is an indescribable relationship between Chiyan Mountain and the master of the continent. His father disappeared when he went to look for Chiyan Mountain, can it also be inferred that there is also some connection between his father and the so-called master of the continent?

If that's the case, if you want to find your father, you naturally can't avoid this so-called master!

However, can the master really dominate this continent, this world, and control the fate of himself and his father?

Ding Qin suddenly felt a little unconvinced.

You have to decide your own things!

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Emperor." There is one thing I want to confess to you. But before I say that, I hope the emperor will forgive me of my crimes. ”
