Chapter 77 Protective excavation of the imperial tomb?
The next day, early in the morning.

Zheng Yi appeared on the second floor of Baiyujing, sitting quietly at the desk with his eyes closed in deep thought.

Baiyujing was built by him with a lot of effort and silver, and was specially built for his cultivation.

The first level is used for daily activities, entertainment, and dual cultivation.

In addition to the thirty or so rooms, there are also more than ten so-called 'entertainment rooms'.

The biggest of them is the wine pool and meat forest!
It covers an area of ​​about five acres, with a large bathing pool made of Lantian jade in the middle, which is big enough for more than 30 people to play in.

Surrounding the wine pool is the 'meat forest' area.

He collected precious fruits, medicinal herbs and barbecued meats that were famous in the thirteen states of Dayu to provide for the concubines and women in Baiyujing.

In order to reduce the vigilance and shame of women who entered the wine pool and the meat forest, in addition to the large amount of wine aroma, Zheng Yi also specially ordered the imperial physician to prepare spices with aphrodisiac effects, which were burned in the wine pool and the meat forest.

Surrounding the wine pool and meat forest are other entertainment rooms.

For example, the "Glass Sky Room" has transparent mirrors all around, even the ceiling and the floor.

The bronze mirror was not clear, so at Zheng Yi's suggestion, the people from the Ministry of Industry made this transparent mirror using sand and stone as raw materials for Zheng Yi's enjoyment.

In addition to mirrors, this glazed sky also contains a large number of translucent crystals, diamonds, glazed tiles, etc. for Zheng Yi and his concubines to play with.

There are also rooms that he specially set aside as 'dressing rooms'.

Ancient dresses such as the wide-sleeved fairy skirt, the horse-faced skirt, and the chest-length glutinous skirt, as well as JK, nurse, secretary, stockings and other costumes that are more in line with the past and present, were also sewn by the embroiderers in the palace under his instruction.

Of course, the raw materials used are all the top-grade silk, Shu brocade, etc. The fabrics are of high quality and are best at protecting the skin.

Other rooms also have similar functions, but each has its own.

The second floor is where Zheng Yi works and studies.

It stores a large number of books, most of which are martial arts secrets, medical manuals, etc. collected from within the territory of the Dayu Dynasty.

The third floor is the tallest room in the palace.

Standing on the third floor, you can overlook the entire palace and even the entire capital city.

The Ministry of Industry is now building a telescope. Once the telescope is completed, I wonder if it will be able to see outside the city?
The third floor is the gathering place where Zheng Yi holds banquets, dances and the like.

The whole is a huge terrace made entirely of jade, which is wide and large enough for thousands of people to gather here.

These three floors are the ground buildings of Baiyujing.

And underground, there are two layers of underground palaces, which have other functions!
At this moment, Zheng Yi was truly looking at the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror in his mind.

Sure enough, after a night of dual cultivation, layers of words were flowing on the mirror.

【Absorb pure Yin energy, lifespan +17. 】

【Absorb pure Yin energy, lifespan +19. 】

【Absorb pure Yin energy, lifespan +18. 】

[Absorbing pure Yin energy...]

The ten new concubines who entered the palace contributed a full 187 years of his life!

When they were having fun until late at night, perhaps it was the aroma of wine and aphrodisiac spices, in the end even the dozen or so palace maids serving them could not escape Zheng Yi's clutches.

Four hundred and twenty-one years of life!
This is the total amount of lifespan he gained last night!

"call……"

He let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

Last night, he did not call those seventeen women from the martial arts world over.

The women in the martial arts world are arrogant by nature and cannot accept such advanced gameplay at once. It would be bad if they end up making things worse.

It is better to subdue these ordinary women one by one before provoking those women from the martial arts world.

"There are more than 500 new concubines entering the palace. I just don't know how much my life span will increase after I subdue all of these women."

"To what extent will the strength be improved?"

Three days later!
The first ten beauties who entered Baiyujing were sent away, and then another ten beauties and ladies were sent in.

The difference is that this time there is one more woman.

Lan Lingrong.

Because of his worst performance in the feast, Zheng Yi specially approved him to be the "manager" of the feast.

The task is to manage the first level of Baiyujing and teach every concubine who enters Baiyujing for the first time how to do things and how to serve His Majesty.

In order to reward her, she was specially named "Lanpin!"

For a time, Lan Lingrong was the most popular person in the entire harem, and many women came to curry favor with her in the hope of entering Baiyujing as soon as possible to serve His Majesty.

Even some concubines had to bow their heads several times when they saw him.

The women in Baiyujing are replaced every three days. If Your Majesty is so inclined, they will also be replaced every five days to ensure that every woman is taken care of.

If there is a woman who suits his taste, he will invite her several times.

But most of the women only came to Baiyujing once and were never summoned again.

As soon as he thought about it, a small blood-red insect crawled out.

Blood Moon Gu.

"If I continue to use my blood essence to cultivate the Blood Moon Gu, I wonder what changes will happen?"

A few more days passed.

Zheng Yi, accompanied by Liu Chengen, Chen Liancang, Hu Bafeng and a large number of guards, appeared at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in the northern suburbs of the capital in the name of offering sacrifices to the late emperor.

Tianshou Mountain is a royal garden and also the burial place of deceased emperors of the Dayu Dynasty.

The twenty emperors of the Dayu Dynasty, together with the founding emperor Zheng Mingsen, were all buried on Tianshou Mountain!

Around Tianshou Mountain, there lived a "tomb-guarding army" numbering more than a thousand people.

"His Majesty!"

Mu Qing, the chief eunuch guarding the place, said respectfully: "The tomb of the late emperor is located at the northern foot of Tianshou Mountain. Next to it are Jingling, Xianling, Tailing, etc...."

Zheng Yi nodded. These emperors were other emperors buried here. They were also Emperor Zhengyong’s grandfathers, great-grandfathers, etc.

After finishing the browsing, Zheng Yi specifically asked the rest of the people to leave, leaving only Hu Bafeng.

"Hu Bafeng, how is this place?"

Hu Bafeng's eyes were a little vague at this moment. His Majesty brought him here, the purpose was self-evident.

His Majesty had said before that he wanted him to dig... err, it should be a 'protective dig' of the cemetery, which turned out to be the tombs of past emperors!
Once this matter is exposed, not to mention his nine clans, even if there are ninety clans, it will not be enough to kill them all! "Your Majesty..."

Hu Bafeng's legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"There is a tomb here, you can't dig it up!"

"Ok?"

Zheng Yi glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "Hu Bafeng, get up."

"It's normal for you to react like this since you're new here."

"But...I have no choice but to do this!"

Hu Bafeng was completely confused. What was His Majesty talking about?
Zheng Yi put one hand behind his back, looked to the north and said, "Hu Bafeng, do you know what the situation is like in the six northern states of Dayu now?"

“I know…”

Hu Bafeng swallowed his saliva and said, after all, he was born into a feudal family, and his ancestors who were tomb robbers had traveled all over the six northern states, so he was more familiar with the environment of the six northern states.

"The six northern states have been suffering from severe drought for five years. The fields are barren, the people are displaced, and large areas of land have been occupied by rioters."

"But the imperial court of Great Yu is mostly occupied by a group of officials who are corrupt and do nothing."

"The Binzhou border troops can't even receive food and wages... The court has no money!"

"I want to provide disaster relief, but I have no money or food!"

Zheng Yi said: "In order to maintain the stability of the Great Yu Empire and to help the common people, I have no choice but to 'borrow money' from the previous emperors!"

"Ah, borrow some money..."

Hu Bafeng was startled and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, the emperors of past dynasties are buried here. What if..."

"so what!"

Zheng Yi said in a low voice, "For the sake of the people of the world to have enough food, what if I become a traitor?"

"Besides, I am not borrowing money from all the emperors. I am only borrowing some from two or three ancestors."

"After the world is settled, I will repay you double!"

"Ah...this..."

Hu Bafeng was confused, but was calmed by Zheng Yi's wild ideas, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hu Bafeng, from now on this place will be the station for you tomb-raiding lieutenants."

Zheng Yi made up his mind and said, "I will transfer all the troops guarding the mausoleum here and replace them with the Shenji Battalion."

"The Shenji Battalion is composed of warriors loyal to me. They are enough to protect the secrets of this place. Do you understand?"

Hu Bafeng's expression was startled, and he said quickly, "I obey your orders."

"in addition."

Zheng Yi stared at Hu Bafeng and said, "In order for you to work for me here with peace of mind, I have brought all your family members to the capital, granted them houses and land, and rewarded them with a large amount of money and silver."

"You don't have to worry about their safety."

"Your two sons are also enrolled in the private school in the north of the city."

"With me watching, they will be safe!"

Hu Bafeng was so moved that he knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I will repay your kindness with my humble servant!"

"Well, get up."

Zheng Yi called him up and asked, "How is your work in gathering your colleagues going?"

"Your Majesty, my good friends 'Earth Dragon Rat Chen Yanshi', 'Golden Boots Yang Dashan', and 'Wind-Listening Swallow Wang Fei' have all agreed to come, and they will arrive in the capital in half a month at most!"

Hu Bafeng said quickly: "These three are the best at dividing gold, determining the location of the cave, detecting the soil, and removing traps and hidden weapons. With these three people, your majesty's request will be foolproof!"

"Earth Dragon Rat Chen Yanshi..."

Zheng Yi murmured, "Let him change his nickname."

Hu Bayi looked aside and said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty. I will write him a letter when I get back."

He looked around Tianshou Mountain again and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, I wonder which former emperor should we go to first... to borrow money?"

Zheng Yi looked towards the top of Tianshou Mountain and murmured, "If I want to borrow money, I have to find the richest person."

"The founding emperor, Zheng Mingsen!"

"what……?"

Hu Bafeng left to prepare for the excavation of the ancient tomb.

Zheng Yi stood alone on the top of Tianshou Mountain, in front of the mausoleum of the founding emperor Zheng Mingsen, looking at the mausoleum indifferently.

The reason why he chose Zheng Mingsen’s mausoleum was that among the three mausoleums he had reserved, his tomb had the highest probability of containing the secret method of cultivation!
After all, he was the founding emperor, and he must have had interactions with the monks of that time more than three hundred years ago.

Even if there are no secret methods of cultivation in his tomb, there must be other things related to cultivation.

In addition to this consideration, more than three hundred years have passed, and some of the mechanisms and hidden weapons in his tomb have most likely become ineffective, making excavation more convenient.

"Your Majesty~!"

At this time, Chen Liancang quietly came behind Zheng Yi.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to dig up the tombs of the previous emperors?"

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "Not all, but selective excavation."

"The world is in chaos now, and I need the treasures in the mausoleum as military pay and food."

"If the world of Dayu falls, the treasures in their mausoleums will not be safe!"

"one more……"

Zheng Yi murmured, "The secret method of cultivation, there must be a secret method of cultivation under the ancestor's tomb!"

Chen Liancang hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, once this move gets out, have you thought about how to face the court officials and the people of the world?"

"The courtiers and the people of the world?"

Zheng Yi sneered and said, "I have a clear conscience, so what do I have to fear?"

"Besides...Mr. Chen, don't you want to see if there is another realm of martial arts after the Xiantian realm?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Yi felt Chen Liancang's breathing quicken.

"Hahaha... Old Chen, as long as you help me dig up the tombs of the previous emperors, if there are any secret methods or items for cultivation, I will definitely share them with you!"
