Chapter 760: September 9th! The Biggest Eunuch
The Lord of Darkness, Zhou Xuan! ?
This name was like a sharp sword, rushing into Zhou Dao's eyes and piercing his heart.
He thought of many possibilities, but he never expected to see this name.
"The Lord of Darkness... is my father!?" Zhou Dao looked at the Sun Festival Spirit Master with some uncertainty.
"No one knows your identity." Sun Festival Spirit Master said in a deep voice.
"In the Demon Suppressing Division, darkness is unknown. Even other adults who are also the Six Demon Lords cannot know his roots."
"Impossible." Zhou Dao blurted out.
Zhou Xuan was already dead when he was born, twenty years ago.
How could the majestic Dark Lord be a dead person?
"The Dark Hall has indeed not been opened for twenty years..." Sun Festival Great Spirit Master said in a deep voice.
That is the dojo of the [Dark Lord]. Unless permission is granted, not even the other five great Lords can set foot there.
"The Dark Lord has been missing for twenty years!?" Zhou Dao frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.
The Sun Festival Great Spirit Master was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
The Lord of Darkness has not appeared for twenty years. However, the fire in the Dark Hall has not been extinguished, and it seems that there is an unparalleled being sitting in it.
No one had any doubts about this.
"Who asked you to come to the capital to help me surrender to Jie Ri?" Zhou Dao asked again.
"Twenty years ago, your Excellency left your final instructions..." the Sun Festival Great Spirit Master said in a deep voice.
"He said that if one day, the festival day reappears, he will let the Star Lord and the Moon Demon come to collect it, reunite the three elements, and transform into a spiritual master. When the time comes..."
Having said this, the Great Spirit Master paused slightly.
"What?"
"If there is a setting sun for King Yuan at that time, he will be his master, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, what?" Zhou Dao blurted out, his heart pounding.
"Kill without mercy!"
These four simple words came out of the mouth of the Ritual Great Spirit Master, but they revealed infinite murderous intent.
According to the Dark Lord's wishes, once the Ritual Sun appears in the world, the Star Lord Moon Demon can go and recover it, and the three will be combined into one and become the real killing weapon of the Sun Sun Sect in the past.
By then, King Yuan must have been born. If he is the descendant of the Sunset Sect, then the Great Spirit Lord of the Sun Festival can worship him as the master. If not, he will be killed without mercy.
Except for the descendants of the Sunset Sect, most of the people who stood out from the Yuan King Dharma Assembly in the past dynasties were bewitched by the Yuanzu and grew up to be formidable enemies.
"He has really thought deeply and has already planned the next generation of King Yuan." Zhou Dao sighed.
If he had been defeated by Ye Kong at the King Yuan Dharma Assembly and was allowed to become King Yuan, I am afraid that this person would not live long.
You know, Zhou Dao's growth rate is already comparable to that of a monster, and he is still unable to compete with the now complete Sun Festival Great Spirit Master.
If it were Ye Kong, he would be a dead man now.
Facing the power of the Ritual Great Spirit Lord, he couldn't even leave ashes behind.
"Dad, dad, how much shock do you still have for me!?" Zhou Dao curled his lips.
Even though he had reached such a height, Zhou Xuan was still like a big mountain standing in front of him, shocking him from time to time.
This previous generation of King Yuan finally gradually became a legend in Zhou Dao's eyes.
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you." Zhou Dao asked suddenly with a thought in his mind.
"Master, please speak clearly." The Sun Festival Spirit Master said respectfully.
Whether it was because of Zhou Dao's identity as the heir of the Sunset Sect or the order of the Dark Lord, the Sun Festival Spirit Master was absolutely loyal to Zhou Dao at this time.
"I heard that the Demon Suppression Division has been building a black coffin since its inception. Is this true? Where is the black coffin now?"
Zhou Dao thought of the information provided by the poisonous Taoist in Tianwaitian.
It was a huge project that spanned the history of Zhenmo Division, and could be said to be the most important treasure of Zhenmo Division.
"Black coffin!?"
The Great Spiritual Lord of the Ritual Festival shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
Zhou Dao was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he felt relieved after thinking about it.
That was the top secret of the Demon Suppressing Division. Back then, the Venomous Taoist rebelled against the Demon Control Division and had reached an extremely high level within the Demon Suppressing Division, but he was silenced because of his insight into this secret.
Even if Star Lord Moon Demon doesn’t know, it’s normal.
"However, many years ago, before the master disappeared, a treasure was indeed lost within the Demon Suppression Division."
The Great Spiritual Lord of the Ritual Festival suddenly spoke.
"Lost a treasure!?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but asked, moved.
"We don't know exactly what the treasure is, but it was a big deal back then, and it can be regarded as the biggest turmoil in the history of the Demon Suppression Division." The Sun Festival Great Spirit Master retained the consciousness of Star Lord Moon Demon, and they were deeply concerned about this incident. Have experience.
At that time, even the six demon lords were subject to strict scrutiny, and as many as 100,000 people were implicated. In the end, as many as 30,000 people were secretly executed because of this incident, which can be regarded as a bloody purge.
"Is it such a big fuss?" Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed slightly and he fell into deep thought.
That black coffin is the biggest secret of the Demon Suppressing Division, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If it is really lost, it would be reasonable to examine the six demon lords.
But if such an important thing is lost, where can it be?
At this moment, an idea suddenly appeared in Zhou Dao's mind.
The black coffin that sealed Zhou Xuan's corpse...
"Dad couldn't have stolen it from the Demon Suppression Division, right?" Zhou Dao's heart was beating wildly.
If Zhou Xuan is really the Dark Lord, it is possible.
"We have to find an opportunity to bring that black coffin out from Chiling Palace." Zhou Dao thought thoughtfully.
According to what the Dark Lord said, the true highest will of the Demon Suppressing Division and the Demon Control Division is the monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Then Emperor Qin should know about the existence of this black coffin. In this case, perhaps placing it in Chiling Palace was the king's intention.
In this way, it's really hard for Zhou Dao to start.
"Emperor Qin..."
Zhou Dao's mind gradually calmed down, and he was more in awe and fear of this unfathomable emperor than ever before.
"Just wait a little longer." Zhou Dao said silently in his heart.
His strength still needs to continue to improve. Once he enters the [Breaking Realm] and reaches the [Outer World], his combat power and life-saving ability will be greatly improved.
Just like the poisonous Taoist back then, even if he encounters a disaster and his body dies, as long as the [outer world] is still there, there will be a chance to come back.
Only by reaching the [Breaking Realm] can one have a world of freedom and the ability to be arrogant.
"It's time to calm down and practice hard."
Today's Zhou Dao can be regarded as having no worries.
Yuanshi Mountain is no longer what it used to be, the dragon veins have been formed, pure yang and taiyin, and there is a temple of peace.
In addition, there are also magic weapons such as Yuxu Palace, Liangyi Dust Formation, Tai Chi Diagram, etc.
Now, Zhou Dao has obtained the Great Spirit of the Sun Festival.
It can be said that the foundation is behind, as solid as a rock, no less than any other Taoism in the world.
Even if one day he is gone, the banner of Yuanshi Mountain will not fall.
"By the way, now only the battle with senior brother is left." Zhou Dao's heart moved.
The ninth day of September was the duel between Lin Jie and Wang Tong. Counting the days, it was almost here.
Although this battle was silent, there was no ups and downs in the world.
But in the eyes of many powerful masters, it is the center of attention.
"On the ninth day of September, there are only a few days left." Zhou Dao looked solemn.
He has absolute confidence in his senior brother.
But Wang Tong is also not an ordinary person. Compared with other descendants of the Five Great Dao Sects, he is even more unfathomable.
Back then, he and Lin Jie had several battles with no outcome.
Now, they should all have stepped into the Tao realm. Today is not what it used to be, and I'm afraid it's not what it used to be.
Zhou Dao has always been cautious about this descendant of Longhu Mountain.
"Let's go to the palace and say goodbye tomorrow."
After all, Zhou Dao still holds the position of [Young Master Zongbao] and is the nominal teacher of the Thirteenth Prince. Since he is going to travel far, he must say hello to the palace and inform Concubine Chen.
"Elder brother, I don't know where you are now."
Zhou Dao raised his head, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh.
…
The next day, it was dawn.
Zhou Dao had already entered the palace in a carriage.
He is the noble king of the Yuan Dynasty and the prince's teacher. He once received a special decree from his majesty and was allowed to walk around the palace at will.
"This is Emperor Qin's palace."
After passing through the big front door, Sun Festival Spirit Master looked at the scenery outside the car and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, he was wearing a wide robe and looked like a middle-aged scribe.
As the killing weapon of the Sunset Sect, he looks the same as a human being, and even has his own consciousness, thinking, and emotions.
"It looks very dangerous." Sun Festival Great Spirit Master was thoughtful, his eyes full of fear.
His perception is much sharper than Zhou Dao, and it can make him feel dangerous. The depth of this palace can be imagined.
"The Qin Dynasty has produced countless kings for three thousand years..." Zhou Dao whispered.
"The king's energy is condensed... This palace is no longer ordinary."
"Master is right." The Sun Festival Great Spirit Master slowly withdrew his gaze, but he did not dare to explore at will.
King Yuan's carriage passed directly through the [Big Front Gate], passed [Sword Holding Road], and stopped in front of [Sanyang Hall].
"Lord Yuan Wang."
At this moment, Eunuch Li has been waiting for a long time.
Last night, Zhou Dao had sent someone overnight to hand over the documents for entering the palace.
This is also the rule in the palace. Although there is a decree, the so-called entering and exiting the palace at will must be done in accordance with the regulations.
"Eunuch Li, I've been waiting for a long time."
"There are so many people in the palace, who is as lucky as this old slave to wait for King Yuan?" Eunuch Li said with a smile.
This chief eunuch, second only to the Eighth Steward and the mysterious ancestor, has become more respectful than before.
After all, today's Zhou Dao is not what it used to be.
He is the true prince and the teacher of the Thirteenth Prince.
"Eunuch Li, thank you for your work." Zhou Dao made a gesture of invitation.
The harem is such an important place that someone must take care of it. After all, all the emperor's women live there. It would be hard to tell if anyone were to run around.
As he spoke, Zhou Dao was about to bring the Sun Worshiping Spirit Lord into the palace.
"Lord Yuan Wang, this..." Eunuch Li looked at the Great Spirit Lord Ji Ri with a troubled expression.
Originally, it was okay for the prince to bring two personal attendants with him when he entered the palace. It did not break the rules, but...
"The ancestors have told me that this person should stay here and wait."
Eunuch Li spoke implicitly, but the implication was that he blocked the Sun Festival Spirit Master from the door.
His eyes flashed with awe.
Obviously, the chief eunuch also saw the extraordinaryness of the middle-aged scribe in front of him, and even instinctively feared him.
He would not dare to bring such a secretive master into the palace.
"Ancestor!?" Zhou Dao narrowed his eyes slightly.
In this palace, only the old eunuch who had served two saints and was known as the most powerful person in the palace was worthy of this title.
"Mo Huaixian!?"
In fact, as early as when Zhou Dao stepped into the palace gate, the old eunuch had already sensed the existence of the Sun Festival Spirit Master.
As the head of the eunuchs and the person in charge of the palace, it was impossible for him to let in such a dangerous being.
"On the festival day, just wait for me here." Zhou Dao said casually.
"Um!"
The Great Spiritual Lord of the Ritual Festival responded casually and sat down on his own.
Seeing this, Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief and took Zhou Dao into the palace.
"Eunuch Li, this doesn't seem to be the way to Anyang Palace." Zhou Dao asked as he looked at the unfamiliar path.
In the past, he would pass through Longfeng Road, pass through the Gilded Palace, and enter the harem.
But today the road seemed unfamiliar.
"Reporting to Lord Yuan, His Royal Highness Thirteen is still having morning classes, and Concubine Chen is also having dinner. It is not appropriate to see foreign ministers at this time." Eunuch Li replied respectfully.
"Then where are you going?"
"Ancestor wants to meet Lord Yuan Wang."
"He!?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
He has also been curious about this top master in the field, the old man next to Emperor Qin.
Who would have thought that if you enter the palace today, you will be able to meet the greatest eunuch in the world.
"Eunuch Li..." Zhou Daogang was about to ask again.
"Lord Yuan Wang, we are just ahead."
Turning around the corridor, there is a secluded small courtyard hidden in the corner, which looks like a farmhouse in the mountains. It looks out of place in the palace.
"Is there still a place like this in the palace?"
"This is the residence of our ancestors." Eunuch Li said with a smile.
"Huh!?" Zhou Dao was stunned and became more and more curious.
He thought that as the largest eunuch in the world, not to mention his luxurious residence, he would not be so shabby, and even inferior to the Demon Slayer Guard of the Demon Control Department.
"Ancestor, Lord Yuan Wang is here."
Eunuch Li stood in front of the dilapidated wooden door and said respectfully.
"come in."
At this moment, an old voice came slowly, and it was soft and shrill.
Eunuch Li pushed open the half-open wooden door and led him inside.
What came into view was the scene of a small farmyard. Several chickens were roaming around on the ground, picking up vegetable leaves and nibbling them from time to time.
Not far away from the ancient well, a young eunuch was drawing water from the well.
An old man was barefoot and wearing coarse clothes. He looked like a farmer in the mountains, renovating the land in the vegetable garden.
When the old man saw someone coming in, he slowly put down his hoe, walked to Zhou Dao, and bowed.
"Old slave has met Lord Yuan Wang."
"Huh? Is this the number one master in Ouchi? The greatest eunuch in the world?" Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment.
Eunuch Li next to him coughed twice.
"Senior, there is no need to be polite." Zhou Dao quickly helped the ordinary old eunuch in front of him.
This is an old man who has served saints for two dynasties. He has great energy in the palace. Even if the prince sees him, he must be respectful and dare not neglect him.
As a junior, Zhou Dao certainly would not put on the airs of King Yuan.
Although Zhou Dao tried his best to stop him, the old eunuch still performed the rituals respectfully.
"This position is too right." Zhou Dao sighed in his heart.
He could see that this old eunuch was a strong Taoist, the most trusted person around Emperor Qin, and his status was supposed to be respected. He was no different from ordinary eunuchs, so there was no need to be like this.
However, facing Zhou Dao, he still placed himself in the position of a slave.
Such a state of mind is not easy to achieve even for a strong Taoist.
"Ancestor, the water is ready."
At this moment, the little eunuch who had just fetched water came over. He rolled up his sleeves, sweat dripped from his forehead, but his face was full of a smile that was still full of meaning.
After all, not everyone in the palace is qualified to serve this ancestor.
"Lord benefactor!?"
Suddenly, the little eunuch saw Zhou Dao and blurted out.
"Gao Li!?" Zhou Dao blurted out after seeing the person clearly.
Isn't this the young eunuch he recommended to Concubine Chen to serve the Thirteenth Prince? ! ?
In just a few days, he actually fell in love with the greatest eunuch in the world.
