Living forever in the deep palace
Chapter 4: Burying the Body on a Snowy Night
In the quiet room, the lonely wind blew in with cold snow, accumulating a thin layer on the ground, just like Su Chen's current mood.
The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.
It's time to come.
When he made a big splash at the entrance of the Shangwu Bureau, he had thought of this day.
He shouldn't have stepped out of the library that day.
"Huang Jiu! Why don't you respond?"
The man in black may have thought that Su Chen was doubting his identity, so he frowned and took out a half-palm-sized brass token from his arms, on which the word "nine" could be vaguely seen.
Grinding bones and scattering ashes is the least of the worries.
soon.
“Huang Jiu!!!”
The original owner belonged to a hidden church called Black Abyss, which specialized in coming out in years of great disasters to deceive people and recruit members. The original owner was relatively young and had a fanatical faith, so he was quickly valued. After a lot of deception, he gave up his identity as a man and came to the Daliang Palace to be a eunuch.
Looking at the wind and snow outside the library, Su Chen knew that he might be in trouble in the future.
This poisonous corpse actually dropped two items.
On the day the old emperor recovered from his illness, he summoned the eldest prince into the palace and twisted his head off alive.
"It's not a third-grade secret poison, but a second-grade one, the rumored Heart-Eating Powder."
however.
The black-clothed man's eyes turned completely cold.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince, the legitimate son of Concubine Zhang.
I don’t know what to say.
Let him poison the seventh prince.
"Huang Jiu, do you still think there is a Holy Society?"
Bang!
next moment.
Just try it.
A third-grade master of the Black Abyss died.
"never mind."
Afterwards, the court purged civil and military officials.
The black-robed envoy had a fanatical look in his eyes, holding the token in his hand and knelt respectfully. The person he was kneeling to was naturally the Black Lotus Saint represented by the token. Then he saw Su Chen who was still standing, and he became angry again.
"This is……"
Su Chen was amazed.
The top three grades are not cabbages. Each one is a humanoid monster that can suppress an area and massacre an entire city by himself. They are absolutely high-end combat forces. The Black Abyss is afraid that there will be an earthquake.
The black-clad envoy was now completely furious.
However, he is just a low-level hidden chess piece.
It stands to reason.
"A peak third-grade warrior, such a powerful figure, was actually killed by me?"
next moment.
Su Chen rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.
A third-rank master is already a powerful figure in Daliang and has founded his own school.
"Ugh."
His whole body was filled with surging energy and blood, his muscles and bones were horrifying, his black clothes were bursting, and he was expanding violently. The breath from his mouth and nose was like a white silk thread, and his entire skin was glowing with a layer of gold, shining like a body forged from gold.
Su Chen was just a lowly eunuch, an ant with no cultivation. Whether he wanted to or not, he couldn't cause any trouble in his hands.
The black clothes diminished the powerful aura on his body.
"Following the true qi, the blood energy spreads rapidly. The more advanced the master, the more dangerous it is. On the contrary, it will not endanger a weak person like me in the first place. It seems that I will need to prepare a few more bottles in the future."
Two things!
Su Chen sighed, put on gloves made of fish intestines, cleaned up the corpse water on the ground, dragged the poisonous corpse of the top third-grade master in black clothes, dug a big hole, and was about to step into the medicinal field in the courtyard of the library.
"The Holy Religion of the Black Abyss saves all living beings. The saint has come to the world to save me from suffering!"
There was an unusual sound.
And this Heart-Eating Powder, brewed over a century ago, was more than three times as toxic. Within a breath, the poison reached the lungs and innards. Even a third-grade master, who had refined his skin, flesh, tendons, and marrow to the utmost, was unable to resist it.
The old emperor had seven sons, three of whom were outstanding men.
Su Chen had two bottles in total. After killing a peak third-grade cultivator, he still had one bottle left.
“It’s really useful.”
If it were the original owner, he would have already performed a sliding kneeling gesture.
Su Chen stammered in silence.
An immortal monster like him would become stronger if he lived honestly, but he had nothing better to do than to seek death by getting involved in such a dangerous matter.
The body of a top-level third-grade horizontal refining expert is harder than gold and iron. The black-clothed envoy was completely corroded, so there shouldn't be anything left on his body.
Black iron plate, Su Chen couldn’t figure out the trick.
Vaguely visible.
Not only did Su Chen not take it, he also took two steps back to avoid it.
The path to the body, the third level of marrow cleansing.
Who is he?
The leader of the three black-robed envoys under the saint, a master of the third rank of horizontal training.
"Even if I peel off your skin, I can still arrange for someone to assassinate the Seventh Prince in your identity!"
"You treated the token bestowed upon you by the Saint himself so carelessly. Do you still have regard for the Holy Assembly, or for the Saint who has shown such great kindness to you?!"
"The Saint had anticipated your rebellion. What can this mere fifth-grade secret poison do to me? Hahaha! I'm a peak third-grade. In this palace, no one can hurt me unless a second-grade takes action..."
The black-clothed man's rotten body exploded with a loud bang, turning into a black skeleton filled with terrible poison. His strong flesh and blood turned into corpse water all over the ground, and everything on his body was corroded by the terrible poison.
"Ah! What kind of poison is this? It's not my secret Red Snake medicine at all..."
Second-grade Heart-Eating Powder? !
Heart-eating powder is specifically used to hunt down high-level practitioners, but it has little effect on low-level practitioners or even mortals.
Heaven one, earth three, mysterious six, yellow nine.
"Traitor, die!"
Black Lotus Token! Here's the token!
"Ugh!"
Even their Holy Church didn't have this kind of peerless poison, yet this lowly peasant actually had it in his hands...
With the Black-Cloaked Envoy's imposing manner, he is considered a formidable master even among the third rank, and in the eunuch system, he is definitely at least a deputy general manager level figure.
Facing the attack from this third-grade master of horizontal training, Su Chen remained calm.
If it weren't for Zhang Gui's rapid rise and the Imperial Concubine's attention, and if he wasn't about to become the Deputy General Manager, he, as a hidden pawn, would probably never see the day when he was called upon until his death.
The toxic exploding powder inside sizzled like sulfuric acid.
But he is not the original owner.
Seeing this token, Su Chen searched reluctantly and finally found the other half of the dusty brass token in the crack of the bed.
"Bastard!"
What does this Bird Holy Religion have to do with him?
Su Chen nodded.
"I don't want to die, is that okay?"
Such a secret poison was impossible for the eunuch Zhang Gui, who was extremely popular in the palace, or Concubine Zhang, or even the second-rank chief eunuch to possess.
The black-clothed man laughed wildly and took a step forward. The blue bricks shattered and a strong wind blew up, ravaging the library. The poisonous powder thrown in the air would be crushed into pieces by him.
Although the Seventh Prince is unable to practice cultivation and can only listen to music in brothels, he and the Second Prince are born of the same mother and depend on each other for survival, and their relationship is extremely deep.
The black-clad envoy gave a sarcastic smile.
This poisonous corpse and the corpse fluid can be used as fertilizer to nourish the poisonous weeds.
Su Chen just started counting.
"Poisoning the Seventh Prince..."
He didn't inherit any emotional legacy from the original owner.
The two tokens merged into one, forming the strange black lotus on the front of the token.
He came roaring.
Everyone in the palace knew about his relationship with Zhang Gui.
It can poison a third-grade master to death.
Obviously, the Holy Church wanted to provoke a fight to the death between the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince. After the poisoning, no matter what the outcome, he and Zhang Gui, a eunuch as insignificant as an ant, would surely die.
"Regardless of success or failure, after poisoning you, you must commit suicide on the spot. I have taken this token. This matter must not be connected to the Holy Church in any way..."
The current Su Chen is no longer as stupid as the original owner, who could be fooled with just a few words.
Who is the seventh prince?
Even though he was hiding in the deserted library, he had heard people talk about it more than once.
The black-clad envoy sneered and did not answer.
Su Chen said lightly.
The terrifying power of qi and blood continued to surge under his black clothes.
"Ah!"
The only ones who have a chance to succeed the throne are the second prince and the fifth prince.
Su Chen rubbed his hands and spoke nervously.
Rumor has it that the eldest prince couldn't wait any longer and orchestrated the shocking change in the imperial city, the assassination on a rainy night...
"Huang Jiu, you have no choice. This is the will of the Black Lotus Saint. Sacrificing your life for our great plan is your honor, and ours!"
"poison?!"
Su Chen picked up the white jade bottle on the ground and looked at this peak third-grade horizontal refining master.
"The Seventh Prince will come to the library tomorrow and question you. He is just a useless person who cannot practice cultivation. I will give you a bottle of poison, and you must find a way to poison him to death!"
Next.
"of course."
"You can also try to kill me."
"Can the Holy Church change its candidate? I want to be loyal to the Holy Church for a few more years. Is that okay with you?"
Bang!
The poison bottle smashed to the ground.
Su Chen took another white jade porcelain bottle and asked again: "Do I still have a chance?"
Normally, the Heart-Eating Powder made from fifty-year-old poisonous herbs will take five breaths to kill.
Su Chen remained silent.
But anything that can survive must be a treasure.
Before he died, the man in black opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief, and his expression was particularly wonderful.
The black-clad envoy shouted angrily, his eyes spitting fire.
Click!
A rough, black iron plate! And a broken rib...
"I don't fight or compete, I don't make enemies with others. Why do you have to disturb my peaceful life..."
"five……"
"Ants don't have a choice."
"But if you want me to die, why not let this black-robed envoy die first?"
Even in the hands of the old emperor who holds the world, the third-grade secret poison is an absolutely forbidden power that cannot be bestowed upon anyone in the imperial city. It will only be tightly held in the emperor's hands.
He threw poison from the secret medicine bottle in his hand.
He was terrified, bleeding from all seven orifices, and his flesh and blood, which had reached its peak strength, rapidly rotted at this moment. All his cultivation was destroyed in an instant.
Among the nineteen secret agents under the Black Lotus Saint, he is ranked last.
"it is good!"
As he spoke, the black-clad envoy threw a white porcelain bottle to Su Chen.
However, Su Chen crushed the broken bone, and a piece of human skin hidden inside quickly stretched out, revealing dark golden words and a diagram of a little man practicing Qigong.
The black-clothed envoy screamed like a duck. He looked at Su Chen in horror and couldn't believe that a lowly chess piece who came from a family of refugees and beggars could have a secret poison of at least the third grade in his hand.
Looking at the words on the human skin scroll, Su Chen read them out loud.
"A first-grade technique created by the old demon Gu Jue, the 'Six-foot Golden Body Technique'..."
