In November, the chill has brought the whole of the north into a long winter, the clouds are low, the sun is dim, and a huge city lies across the southern bank of Peishui, which is the largest state in Zhongzhou, the capital of the Chu Dynasty, Pengcheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the capital, in front of a deserted side hall, there was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with a delicate hanging bun combed on her head, and a luxurious and warm mink brocade dress wrapped her tightly, and she was playing with a dead branch there, as if she was looking for something.

A slightly older girl outside the courtyard of the side hall of "Mingyu" ran towards this side,

"The concubine is looking for you, why did you come here?" The girl was about ten years old, combed in a double flat bun, wore a pair of plackets, and had some complaints in her tone

"Amber... I'm looking for the jade pendant that the third brother hid," the girl who was called Mingyu scratched the ground with a branch, muttering a little angrily,

"He said he would give me Yushu when he found it. ”

"Xiao Mingyu, the Third Highness lied to you, I just saw him hanging on his waist with his jade pendant, how could he be here. Amber suppressed some rapid breathing, squatted down and touched Mingyu's head,

"Hmm... He lied to me again" Mingyu picked up his little face and sulked.

"Okay, good, today is the day agreed by the great teacher, the mother and father are still waiting" Amber picked up Mingyu, and hurriedly picked up Mingyu's little hand, and rushed to Zhaoming Hall as he spoke.

It is said that the Chu Dynasty has been founded for more than 300 years, located in the Central Plains of Zhongzhou, with a vast territory, north of the Minghai, south of Luzhou Mengze, East Pole Yingzhou, west of Yongzhou, in the entire Kyushu continent is also regarded as a first-class power, Chu Emperor Xiang clan is even more profound, since three hundred years ago Xiang Yu, the ancestor of the Xiang family, defeated Han Jian to unify the Central Plains, now the Chu Dynasty has occupied most of the Zhongzhou, and the national strength has not weakened in the slightest. Chu Dynasty national teacher Dou Linzhu is the most relied on power of this dynasty today, it went to Yongzhou to practice immortal law since childhood, more than 100 years ago, it was thwarted by the northern Korean sorcerer Lingxia's surprise attack, single to relieve the siege of Pengcheng, won the trust of Emperor Ruizong at that time, and was awarded the title of Qi Fu Rui Xian Hongwu Great Teacher, Xiang family from generation to generation.

Shao Ming Palace, belongs to the inner hall of the palace, generally used as a meeting and discussion of major matters within the royal family, at this time, Xiang Li, who is not confused by the Chu Shenzong, is leaning on the dragon chair in the main hall, his face is anxious, and the woman in Chinese clothes beside him is graceful and elegant, which is Mingyu's biological mother, Zhao Guifei.

"Hasn't Princess Mingyu been found yet?" he asked impatiently

"Back to Your Majesty, the people from the palace came to report that they had not seen several places around Princess Mingyu frequented. Wei Yan, the head of the inner court who was standing at the foot of the steps, shook his hands a little timidly,

"Then go and look for it, and in a few moments the national teacher will arrive, what kind of system will this Mingyu become. ”

"Your Majesty, dissipate your anger, Mingyu is not still young, teach a lesson in a while, don't be angry" Zhao Guifei on the side stretched out her hand to stroke Shenzong's back and persuaded softly.

"Weichen commands" Wei Yanzheng said, the sound of hurried footsteps came into the hall, Amber pulled Mingyu to the door of the hall, straightened the clothes of the two people, and hurriedly walked into the hall, she raised her eyes and swept the hall, Shenzong, Zhao Guifei was on the throne, and on both sides sat the crown prince Xiang Xu, the second prince Xiang Ce, the third prince Xiang Ji and the standing chief of the inner Wei Yan and several officials of the Ministry of Rites. Xiang Ji saw Mingyu and them come in, and secretly made a grimace at Mingyu, causing Amber to glare at him fiercely, and Xiao Mingyu's little face was wrinkled into a ball by this teasing.

"Mingyu, amber, see father and mother. Amber pulled Mingyu and bowed down.

"Excuse me" After a few breaths, I heard Shenzong's angry reply, and Zhao Guifei next to her wanted to say something was also interrupted by Shenzong's gesture, Amber thought in her heart that it was bad, could it be that her father was really angry with Mingyu, and before he could think about it, he heard Shenzong's slightly angry voice

"Yu'er, why did you only arrive at this time, do you know how important today's events are!" At this time, the Divine Sect had already calmed down, but he was still a little annoyed

“… Mingyu knew that he was wrong" Mingyu lowered his head and whispered to admit his mistake, but thinking about Xiang Ji's small movements, he felt very uncomfortable.

"This time you will be punished to go back and write the hundred-character note silently twenty times, if there is a next time, it will not be spared, you know?"

Mingyu pouted and just wanted to refute, but Amber hurriedly tugged at the corner of her sleeve on the side, "Mingyu is punished, Mingyu doesn't dare anymore." Mingyu pouted and accepted the punishment.

"Okay, stand down" Shenzong motioned to Amber to pull Mingyu aside and sit down, after all, this is his favorite little princess, not to mention that she is only eight years old, this time the matter has been revealed, thinking of this, he gently patted Zhao Guifei's somewhat uneasy hand that was on his hand.

Wei Zihan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had been silent, saw that the princesses were seated, so he came out and hugged his hands and saluted, and said

"Your Majesty, noon has arrived, please move"

"Well, go to the Altar of Heaven"

"Move to the Pole Altar!" Chief Wei shouted to the guards outside the hall at the top of his voice.

When Shenzong and his party came to the Upper Pole Altar, above the simple stone steps, an old man in a gray robe and white shirt seemed to have been sitting on the stone futon for a long time, and the old Taoist crane had a childish face and his eyes were slightly closed. Shenzong retreated left and right, and walked up to the stone altar along the vermilion carpet set up in advance with a group of royal relatives and nobles.

"Xiang Li, the seventh generation grandson of the Xiang family, visited Qi Furui, the great master of Hongwu. Shenzong and the others clasped their palms and saluted, bowing down, this was the second time Xiang Li had seen this great master, the last time was more than twenty years ago, so he didn't know this Dou national teacher very well.

"Your Majesty is so polite," the old man opened his eyes, but he didn't get up, and Shenzong was not angry, after all, he knew very well that this great master was an immortal-like existence. Mingyu, who followed the salute, was a little scared, because the light that flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes when he opened his eyes was terrifying.

"The great teacher is serious, the national teacher is my great Chu humerus, and he deserves this gift. Lao Dao looked at Xiang Li, and seeing that he didn't show much emotion, he couldn't help nodding slightly, and continued

"Today's poor road is the last thing to come here to fulfill the hundred-year covenant. Lao Dao stood up at this time and looked at the heirs of the Divine Sect,

"A hundred years ago, the poor Dao returned from learning the Tao, thanked the homeland, and helped the first emperor Ruizong to retreat from the enemy, and since then, I have also been worshiped by the Ruxiang clan for generations, and made this agreement to protect the Xiang clan's Chu Dynasty for a hundred years, and today will be the last time the poor Dao will come here, as for the last thing of the agreement..."

"When Ruizong was dying, he asked me to choose a few descendants to go to Yongzhou to learn Taoism with me at the end of the hundred-year covenant. Shenzong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, he was worried about the invasion of the Waiyi, especially the northern Koreans, after Dou Linzhu left, after all, the witchcraft of the Northern Yi people was very good, although they were not defeated by the elite soldiers of Dachu, but it was also a trouble, not to mention a big trouble like the demon Ling Xia more than a hundred years ago. Dou Linzhu walked in front of several princes,

"You were all born in the family of emperors, and you know little about the sufferings of the world, and the road to seek the Tao is difficult and dangerous, and you can't force it, I don't know who wants to go with me?"

The crown prince Xiang Xu, who is now thirteen years old, looked around at the Shangji Altar with a smug face, and did not take the words of this great master seriously, the second prince Xiang Ce was only half a year younger than Xiang Xu, and he smiled when he saw him.

"The national teacher must not be able to defeat Lin Fu, so I won't go. Not long ago, he just learned a few styles of fist and foot kung fu from Lin Fu, the head of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and he was obsessed, so he couldn't help but say,

Xiang Ji, the third prince who was one year younger than him, knocked him next to him and bowed to Dou Linzhu

"The second brother is incoherent, and I ask the national teacher to forgive me. "Haha, it doesn't matter. ”

Dou Linzhu stroked his goatee with his hand, his eyes full of approval.

Xiang Ji unhurriedly pushed Xiang Ce's sneak attack fist away from behind his back and bowed again.

Dou Linzhu coughed lightly, and set his eyes on the two little girls who had been hiding behind, Mingyu was trying to hide himself behind Amber at this time, but Amber was slender, but she couldn't stop her little lump of flesh.

Dou Linzhu shook his head and smiled, this opportunity to cultivate is rare but not sought by mortals, and he was fortunate enough to enter the Shangji Gate of Yongzhou after going through hardships and dangers, but these princes and grandsons didn't care at all, it seemed that they had to make a little trick.

"Your Majesty, today Poor Dao happened to bring a spar to measure the immortal fate, so it is better to count it for the princes. He changed his previous solemnity and proposed to the Divine Sect in a very expectant tone,

"Master, please" Shenzong responded very cooperatively,

Dou Linzhu took out a crystal clear stone from his sleeve, "You hold this stone with your hand in turn, and I will know the fate of your immortal family" He handed the spar to Xiang Ji,

"I'll do it first. At this time, Xiang Xuan on the side took the stone first. Dou Linzhu frowned slightly,

I saw that the spar gradually glowed red on Xiang Xu's hand, and after three breaths, the whole spar showed a dark red color.

"Fifth-class immortal fate" Dou Linzhu said thoughtfully

Xiang Xuan glanced at the other princes proudly, and handed the spar to Xiang Ce. The second prince held the spar, looked left and right, and didn't see a reason, the three breaths had passed, but the stone didn't move at all, originally he was completely inappropriate about this fairy fate or not the fairy fate, but Xiang Xu's smug look of almost looking up to the sky and laughing made him very unhappy, hum, waiting for the opportunity to use the arm fist to have two tricks with him, so that he knew who was better. Thinking about it like this, Xiang Ce immediately felt much more comfortable, and when he looked at Xiang Xuan again, he had already begun to make up for the scene when he was beaten down by himself, and Xiang Xu's heart trembled under Xiang Ce's scrutiny, and he couldn't help but think of the last time he practiced boxing in the school field.

At this time, Xiang Ji had already taken the spirit stone, only to see the green fluorescence spread on the spar, and after three breaths, the spar was blue-green.

"Third-class upper-level immortal yuan" Dou Linzhu's voice sounded unhurriedly, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, it seems that his ability to view qi has really improved a lot, and he just watched the breath of the three princes be well-proportioned, his eyes were bright, and the spiritual root was really of excellent quality after a test, and in this dry child, Xiang Ji was able to enter his magic eyes, as for the two female babies, it was not a disaster. He took back the Immortal Yuan Stone from Xiang Ji and put it in his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, today's three highnesses have a deep relationship with my immortal dao, if there is no him, tomorrow at noon, poor dao will come here to take the three highnesses to the Yongzhou Cultivation Dao. Dou Linzhu didn't ask what Xiang Ji meant, but asked for someone directly from the Divine Sect.

"Haha, Ji'er has such an opportunity is the blessing of Da Chu, the national teacher can rest assured, I will definitely be ready tomorrow" Shenzong is very happy now, and when he returns from Xiang Ji's studies, he can ensure Xiang Chu's peace for more than a hundred years, he pulled Xiang Ji in front of Dou Guoshi and said to Xiang Ji

"Ji'er, don't thank the national teacher for his kindness"

Although Xiang Ji was a little reluctant, he was also full of indescribable expectations for his immortal fate at this time, after all, he was just a child.

"Father, Mingyu and Sister Amber haven't been tested yet!" At this time, Mingyu, who was hiding behind Amber, rushed out and pulled the hem of Shenzong's clothes angrily,

Shenzong's face was embarrassed, he glared at Amber, and then bowed to Dou Lin

"National teacher, look at this..."

"Okay, then the poor road will be tested" Dou Linzhu is in a good mood now, although the immortal stone will be scrapped if it is used five times, but as long as you bring back such talents as Xiang Ji, the reward of the master will definitely be indispensable.

Mingyu reached out and took the fairy edge stone that Dou Linzhu took out from his sleeve again, trotted to Amber's side, and was about to hand it out when the fairy edge stone suddenly burst out with a dark purple glow, and then quickly shattered.
