Chapter 2 Jade Lock
Who are these two people?
The secret guards sent by the emperor's grandfather? Or spies from other mansions, or other unknown forces?
Just seeing how they can hide their breath from the two masters, Guo Chi, the guard commander, and Zou Fang, the personal eunuch, we know that they have top-notch breath-containing secret techniques and are by no means an ordinary force.
They are following them now. If they make a sneak attack, will Guo Chi and Zou Fang be able to react? They are unstoppable now.
What those old men in the restaurant said was right, in this world, good martial arts are required.
Even if he is a future prince, he still has to practice hard. His life and death cannot be completely dependent on others.
……
It has been a year since I broke the mystery in my womb and awakened my past life memories.
In his previous life, he was hit by a meteorite falling from the sky during a donkey trip. When he woke up, he was the prince Chu Zhiyuan of this martial world, and his five senses were mutated.
The range of perception of the five senses is greatly increased, like a god.
Looking inward, you can penetrate your own body, skin, muscles, fascia, bones, bone marrow, blood, meridians, acupuncture points, and even hidden orifices.
It can cover an area of twenty feet outward, and you can see, hear, feel, taste and smell everything.
He called it supersensibility.
His transition from the seventh level to the ninth level in one year was the result of his clear and subtle inner observation.
The memory of the past life and the memory of this life are completely integrated and indistinguishable from each other. They are Chu Yuan in the previous life and Chu Zhiyuan, the eldest son of Prince Qing in this life.
Prince Qing's Mansion was in decline, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. As Prince Qing's only heir, even if he lay down and did nothing, he could still inherit the prince's splendid life.
But he understood that there was no need to do anything else and he had to pay close attention to his martial arts practice.
The Grandmaster's bodyguard may not be foolproof, and it would be unjust to be assassinated when one of the rare riches and honors in the world comes.
What's more, the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the life span.
In the innate realm, one has a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years, a grandmaster has a lifespan of two hundred years, and a great master starts at three hundred years old.
Three days ago, Emperor Dajing issued an edict to lift the 30-year ban on Prince Qing's Mansion and allowed his eldest son to enter the Mingwu Palace to practice.
The Mingwu Hall is where the princes and princes practice martial arts. It contains magical and secret techniques and is taught by the great master. It is an opportunity that all warriors in the world dream of.
The Little Ziyang Technique he practiced was a secret passed down from the Chu family of the royal family, and it was the most advanced acquired skill in the world.
If you want to practice the innate Kung Fu Da Zi Yang Jue, you have to go to Mingwu Hall.
Moreover, if you want to step into the innate realm after you have perfected the day after tomorrow, you need to practice special secret skills to break through the three levels. There are the top secret skills to break through the levels in Mingwu Hall.
After entering the Mingwu Hall, he found top-notch magical skills and secret techniques, as well as guidance from masters. He couldn't wait.
……
Prince Qing's Mansion covers an area of 500 acres, with a length of about 600 meters and a width of about 600 meters.
The gate tower with double cornices is majestic, the glazed tiles covering the roof are flashing with golden light, and the three characters "Prince Qing's Mansion" on the plaque are elegant and elegant.
But the faded vermilion paint door, the feeble lanterns, and the mottled stone lions all give off an air of decay.
Qingwang Street is ten feet wide, paved with white jade, clean and tidy. Stepping on it are fifteen mysterious robe guards, patrolling in groups of three.
They wore long knives on their waists, their eyes flashed with hope, but their expressions were as lazy as cats, showing weakness.
The front door of the house was deserted, without any guests.
The palace is so neglected that it is the only one in the entire Yujing City.
Seeing Chu Zhiyuan approaching slowly from a distance, the guards immediately straightened their bodies and saluted solemnly.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly, as if he didn't notice their laziness.
With the decline of the palace, the guards and attendants of the palace naturally lost their vitality. This cannot be eliminated by strict control.
These guards are decadent and lazy, but they are all innate masters who are only one in a million. They are the cornerstone of the palace's security and cannot be too harsh.
……
Chu Zhiyuan stood at the foot of the steps, looking at the palace gate and lanterns, and shook his head: "The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs haven't come to the door yet?"
Zou Fang said softly: "Your Majesty, it will take two more days for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reply."
Chu Zhiyuan said calmly: "It's been a month, right?"
"...Yes." Zou Fang nodded slightly, a layer of green energy flashed across his face, suppressing his anger.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for repairing the royal family's mansion. Prince Qing's Mansion asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repaint the doors, windows, wall tiles, etc. a month ago, and also replaced the lanterns and other items.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs happily agreed, but said that the craftsmen were limited and were busy elsewhere, so they would have to wait for two days.
Two days and two days, it has been delayed for a month.
He knew the reason. It was obvious that he had been jumped in line. These people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were famous for their snobbery, but he did not expect to be so bold.
No matter how declining Prince Qing's Mansion is, it is still the Prince's Mansion. If they dare to be so negligent, it can only be said that these internal affairs are really in need of handling!
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, exhaled a breath of turbid air, stepped up the steps and entered the side door of the palace. Turning around the pine and crane Yannian screen wall, he saw a wide lotus pond.
The water in the pool comes from hot springs, and the mist curls like gauze on the water. There are pavilions and pavilions above where you can watch lotuses and fish.
A chubby old man with a white beard and eyebrows floated over as lightly as his feet did not touch the ground, cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty."
Chu Zhiyuan kept walking: "Where are my father and mother and concubine?"
The guard commander Guo Chi has already retreated.
Zou Fang saluted Feng Xi, the fat and white man in charge of the palace.
"The prince is talking to Master Li Mohuai at Yunguangxuan."
"My father finally invited this master of painting to the palace, and he got his wish...where is the mother and concubine?"
"The princess has just returned from the palace and is in the back garden."
"No one is coming to the house today, right?"
"...No." Feng Xi shook his head.
Chu Zhiyuan kept walking while talking.
Prince Qing's Mansion opened the ban for three days but no one cared about it, which was very embarrassing.
In two days, I'm afraid it will spread throughout Yujing.
He waved his hand, indicating that Feng Xi didn't have to follow him, and walked alone through several yards to the lush back garden.
Hot springs keep trees and flowers alive.
The small, clear lake has a somewhat majestic atmosphere, with wisps of white steam steaming from the lake, and pavilions and pavilions dotted all over the lake.
"Zhengzheng..."
The sound of the piano was coming from a waterside pavilion.
He stepped into the corridor on the lake, turned several turns along the corridor and came to the waterside pavilion.
There were two maids standing outside the waterside pavilion, both with beautiful faces. They bowed to Chu Zhiyuan and greeted him with smiles. One smiles implicitly and the other smiles coquettishly.
Chu Zhiyuan lightly nodded and stepped into the pavilion.
A woman in rosy palace dress was playing the piano with her head lowered.
On the shiny black hair, a golden step swayed lightly.
The lotus-colored palace dress satin contains silky gold threads. The gold threads flicker faintly as they shake, highlighting luxury.
The jade hand pressed the strings fiercely, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped.
She looked up at Chu Zhiyuan.
A hibiscus jade face, eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with sharp brows.
It was Princess Qing Bai Ningshuang.
"Mother." Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Don't get so angry that you're not worth it."
The sound of the piano is filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Because he is the mystery of the awakened womb, he did not travel through time to replace the original body. Therefore, he was himself in the previous life, and he is also himself in this life, and it does not affect the family relationship.
Because the house has been sealed off, their family of four has become closer.
"Zheng!"
Bai Ning suddenly swept the strings with her frosty fingers and said bitterly: "Why am I angry? These ruthless and unjust people have long expected this!"
Chu Zhiyuan sat on the embroidery pier that the maid had moved and said with a smile: "Mom, think more broadly. It's much better now than before. We can come and go freely. We have always closed the door and lived our own lives. Why bother with other people?" People.”
Bai Ningshuang snorted: "I would rather seal the palace than suffer this cowardice!"
"Did you meet other princesses in the palace?"
"Everyone seems like they haven't seen me. I'm so angry!"
"..."
"Thirty years ago, they were very intimate, but now they have turned against each other and don't recognize each other!"
"And those palace maids and eunuchs, all of them have noses that are neither noses nor faces, they are just bullies!"
"Mom, are you not having an attack?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
These words sounded exaggerated at first sight and were an over-interpretation due to sensitivity. No matter how courageous those eunuchs and maids were, they would not give the prince and princess a hard time.
"My mother is not that stupid!... It's just that the more I think about it, the more I hold my breath!"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head.
In a place of fame and fortune like the palace, it is inevitable to be flattered and underestimated.
"Yuan'er, you went to Mingwu Palace and fought hard," Bai Ningshuang snorted: "Don't be like your father who is a good old man who doesn't offend anyone. If you can suppress them, just suppress them hard!"
< br>
In the eyes of outsiders, an idle prince is happy and carefree, but don't they know that princes are also divided into three, six, and nine grades, and even those at the lower level have to be criticized and feel bitter.
If you want to escape from the lowest level, you must gain power, and the source of power lies in the emperor.
The emperor attaches great importance to martial arts. As the emperor's grandson, the shortest way to gain the favor of the Holy Family is to practice martial arts.
Yuan'er is a prodigy in martial arts. He has perfected his skills at the age of twenty, and if he practices by himself, he will definitely be able to win the eyes of the emperor.
But after a serious illness a year ago, Yuan'er became calm and old, losing her energy.
Entering the Mingwu Hall, you will definitely think that Prince Qing's palace is now weak, so it is better to stay humble and hide the front, hide your strength and bide your time, and not offend the princes and grandsons.
"Okay, listen to me." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.
Bai Ningshuang snorted: "I can see through it. The more you show weakness, the more angry you will be."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and said a few more words of comfort.
"Yuan'er," Bai Ningshuang suddenly lowered her voice: "Your imperial grandmother told you a piece of news."
"Oh——?" Chu Zhiyuan asked with a smile.
The imperial grandmother is the biological mother of her father, King Chu Minghou, Concubine Rou.
Thirty years ago, the mother respected the son, and the son was valued by the mother.
Thirty years later, the son will respect the mother, and the mother will be valued based on the son.
As the third son of Chu Minghou, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't practice martial arts and had no status, Concubine Rou would have become a noble concubine or even an imperial concubine.
Prince Qing's Mansion was sealed, and her life in the palace was not easy.
So as soon as the palace opened the ban, Bai Ningshuang, the daughter-in-law, couldn't wait to visit the palace. She went there once a day and had endless things to say.
Bai Ningshuang raised her head and glanced to both sides.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the maids with a smile and waved his hand for them to leave.
Bai Ningshuang watched them close the pavilion door, then lowered her voice and said: "Your imperial grandmother said that there is a Jade Lock and Golden Pass in the Mingwu Palace, which is the emperor's own secret method for breaking through the gate."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The emperor's grandfather is the strongest genius of the Chu family in history. It is not surprising that he created a secret."
"Your imperial grandmother said that this secret is the emperor's fusion of ancient magical skills. It can be said to be an extremely powerful way to break through barriers."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned slightly.
After the nine levels of acquired heaven are completed, if you want to step into the innate world, you must break through the three hidden passes of Weilu, Jiaji, and Yuzhen to truly connect the bridge between heaven and earth.
The secret technique of breaking through barriers is an extreme and dangerous method. If you don't do it well, you will go crazy. Therefore, practitioners often seek stability and would rather go slow than fast.
The emperor is a rare genius in the world. It is not surprising to create a magical skill and secret technique, but the completion of a skill requires time and accumulation of wisdom.
This is just like the research and development of drugs in previous lives, which requires testing and correction by a sufficient number of people.
This secret technique is suitable for Emperor Chu Qingquan but may not be suitable for others. It is a miracle for Chu Qingquan but may be fatal for others.
"Is there anyone who practices this secret technique?"
"At the beginning, some people wanted to practice, but they couldn't. Later, no one practiced. Everyone kept it secret and didn't mention it. If your imperial grandmother hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't even know about it."
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
The prince and princes must have suspected something was wrong with this secret, but they must not say or show such suspicion to avoid angering the emperor.
Not even mentioning it, pretending not to know is the best way.
"If you can practice the Jade Lock Golden Pass Technique, your imperial grandfather will look upon you with special eyes! ... Yuan'er, you are a martial arts prodigy. If others can't do it, you may not be able to do it either."
"...Okay, mother, I'll try to practice."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and agreed, but he didn't agree in his heart.
