Chapter 553

Li Yi, walking on the streets of the capital, was truly having a hard time. These capital people, whether rich or poor, seemed to treat him as a wish-granting machine. They either asked about money or marriage, and some asked about fame. After giving a little guidance, he found an opportunity to quickly pull himself away.

After leaving several streets, the people around no longer recognized him, thinking he was just an ordinary Daoist, and didn't pay much attention to him.

However, after this operation, Li Yi discovered that there were indeed quite a few incense beliefs gathering around him.

Sure enough.

The more people there are, the easier it is to obtain incense. However, his incense belief is unstable. Today these people believe in him, but in a few days, when they forget and throw this matter to the back of their minds, the incense Qi on Li Yi will dissipate.

Therefore, to have stable incense, one must obtain the appointment of the imperial court, and then you can manage a piece of territory with peace of mind and gather the incense of ten thousand people. Otherwise, just relying on these short-lived incense beliefs, there is no way to cultivate steadily.

If Li Yi hadn't been thinking about finding his father, he would have really wanted to raise a flag and rebel in Xinzhou City. Regardless of whether it succeeded or not, at least he could first obtain a large amount of incense power.

"Wang Hou Xin, don't you intend to tell me where the lyricist is now? You promised me before. If you go back on your word, you know my means."

Li Yi said while enjoying the prosperity of the capital.

Wang Hou Xin also walked on the road, looking at the familiar streets of the capital, appearing a bit silent: "I have lived in the capital for a full sixteen years. It was only five years ago that I was titled Wang Hou Xin and left the capital to go to Xinzhou City. The words you said on the clouds just now shocked my heart, so much so that I have been thinking about them repeatedly in my mind."

"Should I die, or let nature take its course, take you to find the lyricist, and clarify some things, or delay for some time and wait and see?"

Li Yi said: "Then you must have already made a decision."

Wang Hou Xin stopped walking at this moment, then looked into the distance and said: "Suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light... The lyricist you are looking for is there."

As he spoke, he pointed.

It was just that the night was long. Even if the capital was brightly lit, the vision was limited and he couldn't see further. So he then said: "Go north from here, eighty miles, in the center of the capital, deep in the imperial palace."

Hearing this, Li Yi was not surprised, but very calm, feeling that it should be so.

No matter who that cross-world traveler was, as long as he came to this world and saw through the cultivation method of this world, as long as he didn't rebel, no matter what, he could only come to the capital, mix into the imperial court, and it was best to enter the imperial palace. Only in this way could he steal the incense belief of the world and step into the path of cultivation.

"Then I will just use your identity as Wang Hou Xin to enter the imperial palace and make an appointment to meet this person." Li Yi said.

Wang Hou Xin smiled bitterly: "I can go in, but you, Daoist, can't. It's very troublesome to make an appointment. It's not that I don't want to help, but the opportunity is slim. If you are willing to believe me, you can write a letter. I will personally enter the imperial palace early tomorrow morning to deliver the letter. If the lyricist agrees to meet you after reading the letter, that would naturally be best. If he is unwilling, I can't do anything and am willing to die at your hands."

Li Yi's eyes moved at this moment, but he was also thinking.

He wasn't sure who the person who mixed into the imperial palace was in his Earth identity—a strange cross-world traveler or his own father.

If it was a strange cross-world traveler, entering the imperial palace rashly was indeed dangerous. He was afraid that he could get in but couldn't get out. After all, no cross-world traveler was willing to share his coordinates with others.

Moreover, the strength of the incense gods in this world was not bad. If the commotion was too big, he was afraid that he wouldn't find the person, but instead would make a lot of enemies. He came to this world to cultivate, not to fight. He still wanted to obtain incense belief, open up acupoints, and increase his cultivation.

Thinking for a while.

Li Yi said: "Fine, I will believe you once. Write a letter later, and you will send it early tomorrow morning. As long as it is delivered to the lyricist, everything will naturally be clear."

As he spoke, he didn't say much, found a night market stall on the side of the road, sat down, and took out a pen and paper from the Five Elements Bracelet to write quickly.

Wang Hou Xin took a curious look, but didn't recognize a single word.

Clearly, this was not the writing of this world.

Li Yi wrote in simplified Chinese, and the content was simple. He just wrote an address and his own name. As long as the cross-world traveler saw it, he would understand. There was no need to say anything else.

After writing, he stuffed it directly into Wang Hou Xin's hand.

After Wang Hou Xin got the letter, he was in a trance for a moment, but soon he held the letter tightly in his palm, fearing that he would lose it by accident.

"Don't be nervous. You just need to do your own thing. Go. From now on, there's no need to follow me. You can go to the imperial palace yourself, but be quick. My patience is limited." Li Yi then stopped a passerby leading a horse, snatched the horse directly, and handed it to Wang Hou Xin.

"I understand. Daoist, don't worry. This letter will definitely appear in the hands of the lyricist early tomorrow morning." Wang Hou Xin took a deep breath. He didn't know why, but his whole body was trembling slightly.

He didn't know who this Daoist was, but he knew very well how big this matter was.

He didn't know if what he did today was right or wrong.

It was just that there were some questions he couldn't help but want to explore. Even if he knew he would risk his life, he wouldn't regret it.

"Giddyup!"

Wang Hou Xin turned over and mounted the horse, holding the reins in one hand and the letter in the other, rushing wildly on the main road. He shouted loudly: "I am Wang Hou Xin. I have important matters to go to the imperial palace. Everyone irrelevant, get out of the way."

As soon as this voice came out, the people on the road gave way one after another.

But soon, there were public servants in brocade robes with precious swords hanging from their waists who rushed out from somewhere, then chased after him, bowed and saluted: "If you are really Wang Hou Xin, you can take the Imperial Road, which leads directly to the imperial palace. If you are impersonating a prince, your three clans will be exterminated." "My identity will be verified by someone. The Embroidered Uniform Guards just lead the way in front. Don't talk too much." Wang Hou Xin shouted.

Those few Embroidered Uniform Guards bowed respectfully and led the way in front, leading him into the Imperial Road.

The Imperial Road was a main road nine zhang wide, connecting the east, west, south, and north of the capital. Usually, only officials going to court were qualified to walk it, and officials could only walk on the two-zhang-wide side roads on the left and right. Only the emperor and princes were qualified to walk in the middle. Of course, there were exceptions for special circumstances, such as urgent military intelligence or the top scholar in the imperial examination, who would also be specially permitted to walk the Imperial Road.

Wang Hou Xin was soon led by the Embroidered Uniform Guards onto the Imperial Road. He rode wildly, stepped into the middle road, and headed straight for the imperial palace.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards didn't dare to step on it, but they were worried that Wang Hou Xin would get lost, so they immediately issued a secret signal, letting the Embroidered Uniform Guards near the Imperial Road pay attention to this person, and also sent this matter by bird messenger, reporting it quickly.

Soon.

Quite a few secret agents appeared near the Imperial Road. They stared at Wang Hou Xin riding wildly, their eyes full of indifference and hostility.

Because Wang Hou Xin's identity had not been confirmed, if he was a fake, there would definitely be Embroidered Uniform Guards intercepting and killing him halfway. It was absolutely impossible to let him live and approach the imperial city, followed by an investigation of his identity and the extermination of his three clans.

This place was eighty miles away from the imperial palace.

Even if Wang Hou Xin rode wildly, it would take some time to enter the imperial palace.

And as the secret order spread.

【System Note: No errors in the content, check it out!】

Soon, a few Daoists appeared on the Imperial Road not far away. They stared at Wang Hou Xin passing by, with Embroidered Uniform Guards accompanying him.

"This person possesses the aura of a dragon, which indeed matches the identity of a prince."

"The age should be twenty-one, consistent with Wang Hou Xin's age."

These few Daoists were identifying his identity, and their every word and action were recorded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards on the side. Then, the secret order was sent out again.

If the Daoists observed the person and looked at the Qi, and found that Wang Hou Xin did not possess the dragon aura, then he would be shot and killed on the spot.

So don't look at Wang Hou Xin riding without stopping and unimpeded; in fact, he was already in danger in the dark.

Wang Hou Xin rode wildly for another twenty miles. At this time, two teams of soldiers wearing bright armor and holding spear flags rushed out from a side road, stepped onto the side road, and escorted him all the way forward.

Clearly, his identity had been confirmed, and the imperial court would naturally dispatch the Imperial Guards to escort him, ensuring the safety of the prince entering the imperial palace.

As for why Wang Hou Xin violated the imperial order and left the fief without authorization to enter the capital, that was not their business.

At this moment.

Li Yi, sitting next to the roadside stall, was stunned when he saw the Embroidered Uniform Guards suddenly rushing out of the street.

Since when did this world of incense gods have Embroidered Uniform Guards?

And why were those Embroidered Uniform Guards each with eyes shining and bright?

This was clearly the practice of the evolution method.

It's just that the strength is not high, probably Spirit Medium, Inspiration. Of course, it doesn't exclude that some Embroidered Uniform Guards have cultivated to Spirit Perception.

"Is there a cross-world traveler teaching the evolution method in this world?" Li Yi's heart sank.

Teaching the evolution method in a world of incense gods—although this looks good, once it gets out of hand, it will cause a great disaster.

Because as long as the evolver enters the Soul Realm, they can concurrently cultivate to become an incense god. At that time, with the support of incense power, the evolvers will be genuine gods with flesh and blood, completely making up for the congenital deficiency of incense gods.

And in order to compete for incense, these people will have to go crazy?

However, this harm cannot be seen in a short time. After all, it takes time for the new method to adapt to this world.

"Could it be that the cross-world traveler used the evolution method as a stepping stone to exchange for high official positions and incense belief, so he was able to enter the imperial palace?" Li Yi couldn't help but think this way.

He had many questions in his heart.

But what the other party's identity was, there would naturally be a result early tomorrow morning.

What Li Yi needs to do now is wait patiently.

Thinking of this, he left the stall immediately, preparing to find a good place to wait quietly for the change.

However, the passerby whose horse was snatched away on the side looked at Li Yi with eager eyes. He wanted to scold him, but seeing that he was a Daoist, tall and extraordinary, he didn't dare, so he could only wait on the side, thinking about when to open his mouth to ask for his loss back.

"Don't look. I won't take advantage of you. I'll compensate you for the horse." Li Yi glanced at him, threw a gemstone to him, and then strode away.

The passerby got a big bargain and was extremely excited, bowing to the direction Li Yi left.
