Chapter 128 Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince
Qin Tianjian, Zhaixing Tower.
The young prince Zhou Huan stood at the center of the formation, with his eyes closed and a solemn expression. Golden light poured out from his body, as if the sun was rising, spreading boundless auspiciousness.
The disciples of Qin Tianjian all around sat cross-legged in a circle, maintaining the formation.
The brilliance arising from the formation flows endlessly, like liquid gold rushing through Zhou Hui's meridians.
This is not the first time that Haotian Divine Luck has appeared in public view.
As early as two thousand years ago, there was an emperor who was entrusted with the destiny of Heaven. He used great courage to unify the war-torn Central Plains for the first time and ushered in a new dynasty era.
Then he injected the divine fortune of Haotian into the jade seal passed down to the country, and engraved the eight seal characters "Ordered by heaven, he will live forever" as a token of the imperial power and legitimacy.
With the change of dynasties, the general situation of the world is divided and reunited. Although the whereabouts of the national jade seal are unknown, any emperor's desire for Haotian's divine destiny has never stopped.
From the moment they sat on the throne, they could increasingly feel the mysterious feeling brought by the word "Emperor".
The son of Chengtian, the emperor in the human world, has not received the divine power from heaven, and is like a duckweed losing its roots. This undoubtedly made them very insecure, and caused the emperors of all dynasties to always feel worried.
How can we live a long and prosperous life if we cannot "be ordered by heaven".
At the moment when Haotian Divine Fortune reappeared in the world, the emperors of Dazhou, Yanrong, and other small countries such as Loulan could all feel the brilliant power of heaven.
Everyone was thinking at this moment.
The Empress Dowager Yanrong Xiao made a decisive decision and immediately sent people to search for him, but in the end, Dazhou was the one who took the lead.
No one can resist the temptation of "Haotian Divine Luck", and no one dares to underestimate its power.
The Empress Dowager Xiao, who had the ambition to unify the world, would not give up and watched her enemies take orders from heaven, so she came to snatch it during the most critical period when the prince was integrating the "Haotian Divine Luck". Even if the robbery fails, the integration process will be destroyed.
The so-called integration is to let Haotian Divine Fortune completely recognize its master.
It does not mean that the divine luck can be placed directly on the body. After all, it was taken from others. It is necessary to use the true dragon spiritual energy of the ancestors of the past generations to prove the orthodox bloodline of the royal family before it can be completely integrated.
Due to some special reasons, the current emperor Zhou Chang cannot do it and can only look to the next generation.
Therefore, when the prince worships his ancestors on New Year's Eve, when the true dragon spirit is at its strongest, he needs to stay at the Star Observation Tower of the Qintian Prison to let Haotian's divine luck recognize him as his master. Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month, which is also the most critical day. Once he fails, he will lose the qualification to be the master of Haotian's destiny.
Looking at the figures rushing towards the palace in the distance, Zhou Hao frowned and looked at Old Jianzheng, "Lord Jianzheng, will you..."
"Prince, don't worry. , they can’t do anything bad.”
The old supervisor was smiling and comforting, “When the Demon Lord came, they couldn’t do anything, let alone them. Your Majesty has deployed layers of defenses inside and outside the palace, Yelu. If Shenye dares to come, don’t even think about going back.”
Zhou Hao felt relieved and had a smile on his face.
He clenched his fists slightly.
Just this one night!
As long as he survives this night, he will become a human emperor recognized by heaven, create a prosperous age for eternity, and become an emperor throughout the ages!
The whole world is mine!
Inexplicably, that beautiful image appeared in the prince's mind again.
I really never forget it.
The prince murmured: "Ye Zhuchan, if you can see this moment with your own eyes, I believe you will regret your original choice."
......
Gong Outside the door, eighteen figures stood in the night wind.
The leader was a man in black clothes, about fifty years old, with a tall build, strands of silver threads looming in the black hair, and deep eyes with a sharp light inside.
He is the number one master of Yan Rong, Yelu Shenye.
He entered the palace four times and tried to assassinate the Emperor of Continent, but escaped unharmed.
"Ancestor, just fight in like this?"
A charming woman in purple clothes beside Yelu Shenye's right hand asked, with a delicate voice.
The woman's name is Yeluna Lihong. She is a member of the Hengzhang Sanfufang clan. She was particularly obsessed with Central Plains martial arts when she was young. She once ran away from home alone and hid her identity to practice in the Lotus Sect. In just three years, he was promoted to the level of Master Xiaoxuan.
After his identity was exposed, he fled back to Yanrong and entered the thirteen-story martial arts building founded by Empress Dowager Xiao to practice. Finally, he spent twelve years climbing to the tenth floor, reaching the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Desolate Realm and becoming a first-class master in Yanrong.
It takes up to three years to reach the realm of sainthood.
The man on Yelu's left hand is a man in his forties, with a long knife on his waist. He is not handsome, and there is a scar across his eyebrows.
Hearing the woman's question, he sneered: "What? Are you scared?"
The man's name was Han Chuyong. He was originally from Dazhou. Later, he was executed by his entire family because of a serious crime committed by his family. Under the desperate escort of his steward, he managed to escape to Yanrong.
Because of his outstanding talent, he was selected to practice in the 13th-floor Xiuwu Pavilion.
It has reached the state of Saint Dzogchen.
Having hated Dazhou deeply, he heard that he was going to break into the palace to snatch the divine fortune, so he volunteered and planned to personally kill the prince and avenge his family.
The woman sneered, "I'm afraid that there are too many wine bags and rice bags in this palace for us to kill."
Yeluna Lihong is not conceited.
Because among these people, except Yelu Shenye, there are at least five people with higher cultivation than them. Among them, there are even masters in the Ascension Realm who specialize in blocking the two great saints of Confucianism and Military Sect.
It can be said that Yan Rong spent a lot of money this time in order to snatch Haotian's destiny.
In addition to the eighteen of them, there are also hidden stakes that have been lurking in the palace for many years.
If it fails, it will be a big blow to Yan Rong.
In this era that pays attention to spiritual practice, for any dynasty, powerful monks are the foundation of the dynasty.
On the battlefield, there are many cases of both sides using masters to assassinate generals. Many generals must have at least a master of Daxuan Grandmaster sitting beside them, or they themselves are powerful military monks.
The same is true when it comes to soldiers and armors. The same well-trained soldiers and armor are at completely different levels from those who have not practiced martial arts.
Sometimes, powerful monks can completely influence the situation of the battle.
Even one man can defeat ten thousand armies.
When the late emperor died of illness, Jiang Wan escorted Zhou Chang to the capital. It was she who single-handedly blocked King Yunzhu's 4,000 elite pursuers and gave Zhou Chang a chance to turn the situation around.
Not to mention masters like Zhao Wuxiu and Yelu Shenye who can be defeated by thousands of people.
So the Empress Dowager Xiao issued an order at that time. Even if she failed to obtain the Haotian Divine Luck, nothing could happen to Yelu Shenye. As long as the prince's plan to integrate the Divine Luck was destroyed, the mission would be completed.
Once something happens to Yelu Shenye, it will be a heavy blow to Yan Rong.
But what puzzles Yeluna Lihong is that among the eighteen people, one person has a very low level of cultivation, at most the Daxuan Grandmaster level, and she doesn’t know why the Queen Mother sent him.
Yeluna Lihong glanced at the man subconsciously.
He is thin and looks very young. He is not tall, he is sixteen or seventeen years old at most. He has an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of eyes that are shining like stars in the sky.
The woman disguised herself as a man...
The woman had a delicate mind and discovered clues along the way.
I just don’t know who it is.
While the woman was deep in thought, a figure appeared in front of the palace gate.
Compared with Yelu Shenye, this person is not tall and tall, but he has a sense of oppression rushing towards his face, like an invisible mountain pressing on the top.
The air around him rippled, being pulled by an invisible force.
Except for Yelu Shenye, the breathing of everyone else in the field suddenly stagnated, and they felt overwhelmed, as if a giant mountain lay across their chests, making it difficult to breathe.
Zhao Wuxiu!
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Yelu Shenye smiled and said: "Zhao Wuxiu, this must be the fifth time you and I have met. Your skills don't seem to have improved at all. But what I don't understand is that every time I come to assassinate your master in person, you But he never came to Yan Rong to assassinate the Queen Mother. Why are you, Zhao Wuxiu, so timid? Or are you saying that everyone else in Dazhou is useless if you leave? "
Zhao Wuxiu put his hands behind his back and said with a faint smile: "After all these years, brother Yelu still likes to argue for words. But this time, it should be the last time you and I meet."
"Oh? Are you so sure you can keep me here?" Yelu Shenye smiled playfully.
Zhao Wuxiu waved his hand.
The palace door slowly opened behind him.
Zhao Wuxiu said: "I'm good at closing doors and beating dogs. I just don't know if Brother Yelu dares to enter this door."
Yelu Shenye laughed loudly, "I am thick-skinned and consider myself a dog, but Aren’t you, Zhao Wuxiu, also a guard dog? Let’s have a dog-eat-dog fight today to see if my tiger dog can kill your family dog!”
Yelü Shenye suppressed his smile and said coldly. The voice said: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Eighteen evil spirits surged toward the palace.
——
Jiang Shouzhong was not aware of the changes in the palace, but he could also sense that something big was about to happen in the capital.
Although I am curious, I also understand that some of the excitement is not random.
But right now, his attention was attracted by the boiling Huailan Lake in front of him. To be precise, it was a coffin located in the middle of Huailan Lake.
The coffin is looming, exuding a sense of mystery.
"Why is there a coffin in this lake?" Jiang Shouzhong asked Mengniang beside him.
Meng Niang looked at the waves of the lake carefully, her mind moved slightly, hoping to get a glimpse of it with her spiritual consciousness. Unexpectedly, as soon as his spiritual consciousness touched the water, Sanskrit characters emitting golden light rose from the bottom of the lake, dazzling like an oracle from heaven.
Meng Niang’s expression changed drastically, and she quickly withdrew her consciousness.
The next moment, I felt the demon soul in my body was damaged and in severe pain, and even traces of green smoke came out of my skin. She was so frightened that she staggered back a few steps, her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear.
The golden Sanskrit words hover above the lake, shining brightly, causing ripples, echoing with mysterious power. Soon the lake level subsided and the coffin sank and disappeared.
“What’s wrong with Meng Niang?”
Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Meng Niang was still frightened. She stared at the lake for a long time and saw no response. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It is the Wuchan Temple's Buddha-breaking array. It is specially used to suppress evil spirits. There should be some evil spirits at the bottom of the lake. ”
Evil things?
Jiang Shouzhong has gained some experience.
Unexpectedly, there is a big secret hidden in a lake in the capital.
At this time, Meng Niang seemed to sense something. She looked up at the night sky and frowned, "Something's wrong... there seems to be an unusual aura."
...
Wuchen Temple, inside Luohan Hall.
Master Du'e, who was chanting sutras with white eyebrows and beard, suddenly frowned.
The young monk next to him also stopped chanting.
"Master, there seems to be movement in Huailan Lake." The young monk named "Pu Xin" said in surprise.
Du'e looked up at the sky and said, "It should be that Qin Tianjian is about to activate some grand formation, which has interfered with the aura of the Golden Buddha in the lake."
He left. When I got to the guardrail, I grabbed a handful in the air.
Then Du'e closed his eyes and twisted a ray of heaven and earth energy in his hand. After sensing it carefully for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a golden light flowing in his eyes, not angry but powerful.
“That’s not right!”
Du’e’s face looked ugly, “Qin Tianjian is going to activate the Tianchu Formation!”
He turned to the young monk and said: “Call the Arhats immediately All the holy monks in the hall go to the Buddhist cave and hold down the nine golden bodies of the holy Buddhas. As long as the golden bodies are not broken, Huailan Lake will not be affected!”
“Yes, Master”
The young monk was startled and left in a hurry.
The young monk has heard of the Tianchu Formation.
It is said that this formation was built by the founding emperor of the previous dynasty and was hidden in the palace. The purpose was to kill the assassins who came to assassinate. Even masters in the heaven and human realm would not be able to escape once they were trapped. One death.
This formation consumes a lot of energy from heaven and earth, so four formation springs were built in the capital to provide energy.
Huailan Lake is one of the springs.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to suppress evil spirits.
But later on, the formation was incomplete, the formation eyes disappeared, and it was gradually abandoned. Unexpectedly, it has been repaired again.
Once it is opened, it will inevitably affect Huailan Lake.
Du'e looked up at the slowly rotating stars and murmured: "Your Majesty wants to catch them all in one fell swoop, but the problem is, how can the formation operate without formation eyes? Could it be..."
Du'e suddenly thought of something and looked a little unbelievable.
After a long time, he clasped his hands together and sighed with a complex expression, "Amitabha, that's good, that's good."
——
Qiuye saw Jiang Shouzhong who came to find her.
She did not run away in a hurry, nor did she show shyness like a little girl as before. Her expression was very calm, as calm as the water of Huailan Lake that had returned to peace.
From having a good impression, to gradually falling in love, to disappointment and lovelorn, to relief, to renewed love, to as if the devil has blocked... A girl's first love is like a boat rising and falling in the waves. Only when you are knocked over by the waves and finally sink into the abyss of the water will you realize many things.
When the girl who has calmed down looks at her previous self again, she will feel very childish and innocent.
After all, feelings are what make people grow the most.
You will grow if you are in love, and you will grow if you are not in love.
Sometimes, people will fall into a demonic barrier and want to take out their heart and lungs. Sometimes I feel as clear-headed as an outsider, and even a small look in my eyes carries a calmness of relief.
"I'm sorry, Jiang Mo, for causing you trouble."
Qiuye looked at the man calmly, with no unnecessary emotions in his eyes as clear as a mirror lake.
She apologized for her willfulness.
I also apologized for my pretentiousness.
At this moment, Qiuye has returned to the girl she once was, with a bit of cold pride and sassiness.
The only difference is that she learned how to hide her feelings and how to let go of her feelings.
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned. The words he intended to comfort and enlighten seemed useless. He smiled and said, "I am the one who should apologize. I should have made it clear in advance. In addition, I didn't tell you anything about your second sister." Understand.
The reason why I am willing to marry her is because I have destroyed the Destiny Pearl in her body, which means that she must stay with me if she wants to survive. "
Qiu. Ye looked shocked, "Second sister's destiny pearl is gone!?"
Jiang Shouzhong was about to speak, but suddenly the lake water that had just calmed down began to vibrate again, like water in a hot cauldron, with bubbles constantly jumping. A series of golden Sanskrit characters floated on the water, vaguely condensed into a golden golden body of the giant Buddha.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion came from the lake, like thunder exploding in the ears.
The giant golden Buddha was shaken high!
It was as if someone had kicked him.
A brilliant curtain of light spread from the exploding heart, like a huge wave, overwhelming the sky and the earth.
Jiang Shouzhong looked dumbfounded.
What is going on? The end of the world is coming?
In a daze, his feet suddenly became unstable. Jiang Shouzhong looked down and saw that there were countless cracks on the ground, criss-crossing them. Following the explosion, light beams emerged from the cracks like dragons and snakes dancing, covering Huailan Lake.
“Get out of here quickly!”
The beautiful figure of Meng Niang suddenly appeared beside Jiang Shou and grabbed his shoulder, with a look of panic on his face.
However, before he jumped up, the golden light spots splashing out from the lake were like stars, rushing towards his face with the fierce Buddha spirit.
Meng Niang’s expression changed and she hurriedly waved her sleeves to stop her.
Each of these light spots contains the supreme Dharma, and for a monster like her, it has the power to harm the monster's soul. Although Meng Niang prides herself on her advanced cultivation, she does not dare to take it lightly when faced with this overwhelming thing, so she has to use all her skills to avoid its attack.
Jiang Shouzhong and Qiuye also waved their swords to help resist.
But more and more light points are coming. No matter where they move, they can never escape the Buddha's light.
“It’s for me!” Meng Niang’s heart was shocked.
It turns out that after the Golden Buddha in the lake was shaken away, the lost power of the Buddha would automatically look for evil things around it, and Mengniang happened to be a monster, so she was attracted to it.
Mengniang gritted her silver teeth and said to Qiuye: "Take Jiang Mo away from here, I will be there soon!"
After speaking, her body moved two feet away. As expected, the light spot seemed to be attracted The honey from the bees chased away one after another.
Although Qiuye was very confused about Mengniang's appearance, he didn't bother to ask too much at the moment. Just as he was about to take Jiang Mo away, his mind moved slightly and he felt something strange. He couldn't help but look up, but when he saw the previous The giant golden Buddha that rose up in shock actually came down on them.
In an instant, a vast shadow covered the sky and covered the stars, as if the true Buddha had come to the world, with boundless power.
Under the pressure, the air solidified like iron, and the surrounding scene gradually became distorted.
It was too late to escape at this time.
“Get down!”
Qiuye quickly pressed Jiang Shouzhong into a gap in the ground without thinking, and he protected the opponent closely, using his body as a shield.
Boom!
The giant Buddha pressed down and the terrain completely collapsed. In a daze, Jiang Shouzhong faintly heard a familiar soft sigh.
"Brother Xiao Jiang..."
——
Qin Tianjian, upstairs in Zhaixing.
The old prisoner was not looking at the two sides fighting fiercely in the palace. Instead, he was looking in the direction of Huailan Lake, his brows furrowed tightly, "These guys knew that we were going to activate the Tianchu Formation, so they blew it up The golden Buddha under the lake, while destroying the array spring, plans to release the demon fox to cause chaos?"
He looked up.
The trajectory of the stars in the sky seems to be messed up, and they appear to be bright and dark.
The old eunuch smiled lightly, "The devil is one foot high, and the Tao is ten feet high."
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.
The two Qin Tianjian disciples who were originally maintaining the formation around the prince, looked fiercely, swung the dagger in their sleeves and killed their companions with lightning speed, and grabbed the prince.
Zhou Huan’s complexion changed drastically.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that even Qintian Prison had spies from Yan Rong!" The old prisoner's face turned cold as he waved his sleeves and knocked away the two assailants.
Before Zhou Huan could breathe a sigh of relief, a white hand suddenly passed through Lao Jianzheng's chest.
"Hello, His Highness the Crown Prince."
A petite woman turned away from the old prisoner and waved towards Zhou Hui.
It is the most inconspicuous one among the eighteen people.
