SKY SWORD LEGEND
Soul Gate _ Towards the Sky Sword
Yin He, Jingmi and the three Xiao immediately rushed to head towards the third gate that was the soul gate, before Xiao Zhuang had informed him of the location of the third gate, the location of the gate is in the temple of the sky (Tan Tian), a temple that is in one of the strongest powers, namely the Ming empire, to enter the area of the Temple of Heaven is not easy, either, because only with the permission of the emperor someone who is not a member of the temple is allowed to enter, so it is not easy for others who can enter the temple.
The five of them immediately darted south, precisely towards the center of the Ming kingdom, Jingmi just remained silent, because he did not know what and how the place to be visited, he said, however, after Xiao Zhao told him about the third location they would go to, Jingmi was surprised, because as a child, Jingmi had also heard stories about how magnificent and great the Ming empire was, he said, fortunately, the Tang and Song empires were never disturbed by the Ming rule because the area was very far from the Ming empire, and had to conquer Tibet first and then enter the Song and Tang empires.
This time they will travel a long journey, because the distance between the second gate on the border of Song and Tibet is 2x the distance, he said, so that the possibility of them flying for 2 days can only reach the Ming Empire.
After a full day of Yin He and his entourage have reached the border between Tibet and Ming Kingdom, “Kak, we rest here, I will immediately hunt for us to eat, if the night is easier.” Xiao Yan invited Xioa Zhuang to hunt, but just a few steps away, they were startled by a swarm of several young girls in such clothes from the palace residence, they ran over with bated cries, they were, it seems like they are trying to avoid something.
Right before Yin He's entourage, they were shocked, their voices clenched and unable to shout, self-sweat stretched out from their bodies, until one of them calmed down in tears, “Ampuni us sir, do not lower us back to the palace, we are not guilty sir.” The girl nodded while crying.
Jingmi approached the restive girl, the girls as Jingmi approached them, they did not know Jingmi's figure, as their eyes were always downcast not daring to see who was in front of them, when Jingmi spoke then they were surprised, that the one who spoke was a woman, the girls were frightened, “Let's not cry, we are not murderers, we are not from the palace.” Jingmi tried to calm the girls down, Xiao Zhao walked up to them and gave the girls a jug of drinks, the girls received the drink and were willing to be invited after Jingmi persuaded and convinced them that they would be protected.
“Tell us, who are you, and why do you have to avoid the shock of the palace guards, did you make a mistake?” Xiao Yan stared one by one at the girls, making the girls bow down trembling while squeezing their hands together.
“I'm sorry my friend, he didn't mean to yell at or scare you, tell me why you guys got to this forest.” Jingmi sat near them and tried to convince the girls to tell them what really happened, after a moment of silence, one of the girls told her.
“Two days ago the anger that was buried in the chests of the concubines and and some of the servants peaked, with the help of a number of people in the palace, the perpetrators headed for Concubine Duan's pavilion, which was to be seen in the palace, Consort Yang Jinying led the plot, they had a plan to trap the emperor, and at that time, as planned, after the emperor's bedmate came out with the ladies, Emperor Zhengde was left alone in the room alone, which was when, the assault concubines took action. They tried to strangle the emperor with a hairband.”
“Will but the emperor's assassination attempt failed. The concubines then took the silk curtain, twisted it, and tied it to the emperor's neck. However, they tied it with the wrong knot so that the noose on Emperor Zhengde's neck was loose, and did not maximally strangle him, so again the emperor still remained alive.”
“One of the concubines panicked, he reported the assassination attempt to Empress Fang, meanwhile, Emperor Zhengde fought back with all his might. One of the concubines then pulled a silver skewer from her hair and stabbed it at the emperor who was instantly unconscious. It was then that the empress came with the soldiers, and the concubines and servants were all snatched up, but some servants escaped including us.”
“When dawn broke, they were all cruelly put to death, their bodies were sliced slowly and the execution was dubbed "death by a thousand wounds". Their heads were then beheaded and shown to the public as a warning to others, we learned this from the stories of the people we met, not just the perpetrators, their families did not escape punishment. Even Consort Cao Duan who slept with the emperor that night was also put to death.”
Yin He from earlier could only hold back his emotions, he did not think that there was such a cruel leader Emperor Zhengde, “There must be someone behind the emperor to do so, we will ensure your safety, we will, but you must cooperate with us, showing the direction to the forbidden palace and also the location of the sky temple.” Yin He said, the girls looked at each other and finally snuggled.
Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Zhao immediately went hunting for dinner, after they got the burrow, and immediately set it on fire, Yin He asked Xiao Zhuang to make a protective seal magic formation for the girls, so that the soldiers could not catch them. And after he finished eating, Xiao Zhuang immediately set up a defensive seal formation for the girls to defend, after he finished, Yin He pu immediately used an illusion technique to seal off the area around them so that no one would see it, Yin He then used the technique of communicating with the animals, and the technique of communicating with the animals, he wanted to know the real story and the details.
