Chapter 41: Pretending to be a ghost

As he spoke, another thin prisoner walked into the room, patted him lightly on the abdomen, and bowed to Li Yun and said:

"Left envoy, offend."

The voice he made was very similar to Li Yun!

If it weren't for the close relatives around you who listened carefully, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

Then this person came to the bed in Li Yun's inner room, took off his shoes and clothes and lay on the bed, and carefully covered the quilt, facing inward, only the back of his head was exposed, and he couldn't tell who it was.

Obviously, this is a disguise made by the White Lotus Sect, lest someone from the eunuch party come to check on the emperor and reveal his flaws.

That's a good trick......

Li Yun sighed in his heart, took the guard service handed over by the other party, and nodded to Shao Guang.

The other party immediately turned around and led the way in front, leading Li Yun out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, those inner supervisors who were on duty outside the hall quickly closed the door of the palace, and they were still the original appearance of being loyal to their duties.

It's just that unlike the original internal prisons, what these people are guarding against now is the eunuch party.

Li Yun followed behind Shao Guang and walked all the way in the palace at night, and at this time he found that there were really a lot of trails in the palace.

Many places that I had never paid attention to before were hidden in small passages between walls.

Soon, the two of them had come to the imperial garden on the side of the palace, in the rockery forest.

Shao Guang dodged and took Li Yun into a rockery, opened a shrub, and revealed a small door that only allowed one person to enter.

Xiang Li Yundao:

"Lord Zuo, after this secret passage goes out, it will be outside the imperial city, and there will be someone to answer it."

As he spoke, he gave Li Yun a lantern.

Li Yun took the lantern, got into the small door, and walked down a few steps, inside was a long secret passage, on the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage, there were some carved out of the lamp niche, touch it with your hand, there was old ointment inside, and it was almost stone.

And judging from the smoothness and antiquity of the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage, it is likely that this secret passage has existed in this imperial city for many years.

It was there even before the establishment of the military state.

It should be unknown which dynasty cultivated it, and it was later buried in history, and it was not until the White Lotus Sect occasionally got relevant news that it made use of this secret passage.

His spiritual sense was released, and he walked quickly with a lantern, and in about a cup of tea, an upward staircase had already appeared in front of him.

He walked up the stairs, lifted the covered plank, and found a firewood room outside, full of firewood.

There is also the smell of oil smoke.

Hearing the voice, the door of the firewood room was opened, and a man dressed as a businessman quickly handed Li Yun a burqa and said:

"I've seen Lord Zuo, my subordinates have been waiting for me for a long time, please come with me."

Out of the firewood house, this is an ordinary house, it looks a little dilapidated, it should be in the east of the city.

Walking out the back door of the house, there was already a carriage waiting in the dark.

The wheels of the carriage and the four hooves of the horses were wrapped in cloth, and the sound of walking was very small, and it seemed that the patrols of the five cities had also rested tonight, although it was said that there was a curfew in the capital, but there was not even a shadow of a person along the way.

Or maybe that's the power of the White Lotus Sect.

Before that, Li Yun didn't know much about the White Lotus Sect, but now he gradually felt that the White Lotus Sect seemed to have infiltrated the capital a long time ago, like a shadow monster dormant in the dark, silently waiting for the time to attack.

The eastern part of the capital is a civilian settlement, which is far less prosperous than the commercial areas in the south of the city and the powerful settlements in the east of the city.

Walking all the way to the east, many of the houses are relatively dilapidated, and the more you go out, the more they look like shanty slums.

A few blocks from the city walls, among the low houses, there was a ruined temple.

This dilapidated temple doesn't look like there is any incense, the walls are half collapsed, there is a candle flame in the main hall, and there is a dilapidated plaque of "Land Temple".

The carriage stopped.

The coachman driving the carriage got out of the car to help Li Yun lift the curtain and said respectfully:

"Left, wait here for a moment."

Li Yun nodded, got out of the carriage, and walked into the Land Temple.

The land god in the temple is like a clay sculpture wooden tire, the paint peels off a lot, it looks very shabby, and there is only an incense burner, half a sheet of flour, and a cup of residual wine on a long table.

The entire land temple was silent and empty.

And that's just the appearance.

Li Yun's spiritual sense spread, and at this time, it had been discovered that there were still some horns behind the door, beams, corners and so on of the land temple in the statue of the land god, and there were people hiding there at this time.

These people were all wearing plain white clothes, as if they were wearing linen and filial piety, and they were obviously a group of White Lotus cultists.

And all of them have martial arts, basically at the level of four or five grades.

On the beams of the house, on the crooked neck tree outside the door, and in the temple in the dark, there are also a lot of extremely fine silk threads laid at this time.

There are also places where there are obviously brackets that have been installed long ago, and there are demonstrations with cobwebs and the like.

That White Lotus Sect Master, this is preparing to pretend to be a god and ghost for him.

Since the other party wants to do this, he doesn't bother to debunk it.

Everyone gives each other face, and life can be passable.

Please start your performance.

However, this White Lotus Sect Master dared to meet him in this residential area of Dongcheng, instead of choosing to be outside the city, which only explained one problem:

This area, at least this block, has been completely controlled by the White Lotus Sect!

Just thinking about the candle on the desk in the broken temple, it was suddenly extinguished, and the temple was dark, only the moonlight outside came in.

A burst of ethereal melodious music suddenly sounded, as if it came from a far away.

In this ruined temple, along with the courtyard, at this time, patches of white smoke rose up, rolling on the ground, like a fairyland!

Along with it, there is also a faint aroma that envelops everything around and is refreshing.

In the sky, there is also a rain of petals falling down, and the falling flowers are colorful, which is very beautiful.

The music gradually became clearer, accompanied by a chorus chant, somewhat similar to that of an aria:

"The red dust of hell, the pain of all living beings, pity the world, the sorrow is endless, the white lotus cleanses the world, there is a god descending from heaven, there is no childless old mother, vacuum hometown-"

Li Yun walked to the gate of the broken temple and looked out, and saw that in the air dozens of meters away, almost ten meters high, a huge snow-white lotus platform suddenly appeared, and under the support of dozens of white-clothed boys and virgins, it floated down from the sky.

At this time, the surrounding fog rises, the fairy music is fluttering, the fragrance is pervasive, the petals are like rain, and the white lotus platform is like a fairyland.

On the white lotus platform, there is an old man sitting upright at this time, with a compassionate smile on his face, fluttering sleeves, fairy wind bones, and lotus handprints on his hands, like an immortal descending into the world.

White Lotus Sect Master, here!

Li Yun secretly snorted his teeth, and his murderous intent had risen.

How is it a man?
