The imaginary word of the non-human race immediately plunged the vast calculation chamber into a dead silence. Only Ji Zheng's face was full of questions, and he wanted to ask Shang Zhu clearly, but when he saw that the others were solemn, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Are you sure?" asked the Spirit King again.

"The minister only heard about it, but he didn't dare to be sure. Shang Zhu spoke in a weaker voice than he had just done.

"Could it be a ghost made by a dark wizard?" Chang Jin reminded in a low voice, "It seems that the Xuantie Army saw the dark wizards haunting the borders of the northern countries during that time. ”

"Dark wizards are also Terrans. "It was the Spirit King who personally made the denial, and Chang Jin didn't dare to say anything more.

If you want to talk about the whole Mijing, the spirit king said that he likes witchcraft first, and no one dares to say second, so he ignored the ancestral teachings and secretly supported a mysterious wizard in the palace. But there is no secret in the royal palace, and everyone knows about it, but it is not broken.

The Spirit King also knows this, he is indeed a little weak-hearted, no matter if there is something to do, he still goes to Sitian Pavilion to divination, calculate a hexagram, and make a show to the world, wanting to gain peace of mind.

"But I can't rule it out, I've heard that their magic tricks are very good. The Spirit King shook his head and asked Shang Zhu again, "You can only deduce these results?"

"Yes. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion. Chang Jin stood up again at this time.

Say. ”

"The calamity that even Taibu can't deduce is certainly extraordinary, and I suggest that Your Majesty consider asking the Grand Wizard of the Witch Alliance to come out for the following reasons......."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is absolutely impossible. Shang Zhu couldn't imagine that Chang Jin would be so bold and make such an absurd suggestion, and hurriedly interrupted him, "Emperor Zhuan Xuan has explicitly forbidden wizards to participate in the country since he reached the heavens and the Jedi, and this disaster is related to the survival of Xuanyuan Kingdom, let alone entrust such a major matter to this group of nervous wizards. ”

"Shang Zhu Taibu has a point, but if you can deduce where the trouble is coming from, then why bother with it. Chang Jin spoke softly, but it was like a heavy hammer hammer in Shang Zhu's mouth, leaving him speechless.

Seeing that Chang Jin hadn't finished speaking, the Spirit King motioned for him to continue.

“...... First, the divination level of the Witch Alliance is the highest in the world, there is nothing they can't divination, as long as they go out, what demons and monsters, all appear, and secondly, even if the black wizard is making trouble, the white wizard is born to be the nemesis of the black wizard, if there is still someone in this world who can subdue the black wizard, there is only the white wizard. ”

"The minister has a different opinion. Shang Zhu said at this time.

Say. ”

"The minister suspects that this statement was deliberately put out by someone, in order to cover it up through these things that are not understandable to the human race......"

"You're talking inconsistently. The Spirit King stopped Shang Zhu from speaking, and turned to look at Chang Jin.

Chang Jin continued: "Your Majesty, in fact, we don't need to be too afraid of the power of the White Wizard, we have the rules of the Witch Alliance to bind them, we only need the White Wizard to deduce the place of chaos, and the rest should be rebels to bear the fire of the wrath of our Central Empire's millions of Xuantie Army. ”

The Spirit King turned his face and asked Ji Zheng, who had been silent, "What does the prince mean?"

Ji is the first son born to the Spirit King and the Eldest Queen, twenty-five years old this year, smart but not flexible, especially with the Confucian who has always opposed the things of ghosts and gods, the Spirit King does not like him very much.

Ji Zheng, who was dressed in black, bowed his hand to the Spirit King and said: "Erchen thinks that Shang Zhu Taibu is right, all the things in the world that pretend to be gods and ghosts are disguised by people, if this matter is not a natural disaster, then someone deliberately pretends to be a ghost and god to set fire, and directs a series of natural disasters, these people with ulterior motives will fool the local people who are wandering and hungry, and finally incite them to counterattack the central country." ”

"Do you think it's necessary to ask the people of the Witch Alliance to help us calculate the rebels in the Land of Rebellion?"

"This ......"

"It doesn't hurt to be straight. ”

"Erchen thinks that the ancestral precepts cannot be violated, and since the first emperor has made a rule, we as descendants of the royal family should abide by it. ”

"Really?" the Spirit King tapped his head lightly, he was very tired of the prince's words.

"According to the observation of the ministers, the Wu clan is good at pretending to be gods and ghosts, and often deceives the people and monarchs on the grounds of communicating with heaven and earth, which should not be trusted. ”

"And what do you suggest?"

"The son thought that his father could send people to the northern principalities to understand the situation, and be ready to send troops to destroy the rebels at any time. ”

The Spirit King didn't expect the prince to give some useful advice, so he smiled: "It's too late, if you send someone to go, you won't be able to come back and forth, and it won't take a month?" ”

"But the law of the ancestors cannot be violated, father. ”

"Then what do you say?" The Spirit King was almost mad by Ji Zheng, patted the dragon chair, Huo stood up, and when he saw the prince's frightened face, he realized that he had lost his temper, sighed, and sat down slowly.

Ji Zheng was frightened in the aftershocks of Long Wei at this time, his head was confused, and he had no idea, so he finally chose to compromise, saying: "Erchen thinks that what my father said is right, Si Tiange is up to the task." ”

The Spirit King nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Prince, this matter is entrusted to you to be responsible for the whole process, tomorrow morning, I want to see the latest and most accurate calculation results." If this is done, the king will be rewarded, if not...... At one's own risk. ”

"No. ”

The Spirit King stood up, straightened the black Nine Dragons Dragon Robe, and stood on the stage, with a condescending momentum, he stared at Ji Zheng, and his expression gradually became stern: "The founding ancestor, Emperor Xuanyuan, is in charge of all things in the world, commanding the gods of the heavenly court, the war demon clan, the demon clan, the demon clan, the exorcism of ghosts, the unification of Kyushu, and the establishment of a great reputation." Isn't it blasphemy to say that you don't believe in ghosts and gods?" After a pause, he added, "Respecting ancestors and not ghosts and gods? After speaking, he flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and left angrily, and Qinghong quickly followed.

"Then it's hard work, His Royal Highness the Prince. The last sentence of the Spirit King was obviously suppressed with anger, and several people in the room could hear it, and Chang Jin, who smiled slightly, bowed to Ji Zheng and slowly withdrew from the deduction room.

Looking at Chang Jin's back getting farther and farther away, Shang Zhu shook his head helplessly, everyone knew what was hidden in Chang Jin's smile: Chang Jin was the third prince's person, and it was no secret that the third prince wanted to get his hands on the throne.

Shang Zhu saw that Ji Zheng was still stunned in place, he was grateful to the prince for his help just now, and took the initiative to step forward and say, "Shang Zhu is willing to accompany His Highness to Si Tian Pavilion." ”

"Thank you, Taibu. Ji Zheng barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Shang Zhu probably guessed why Ji Zheng was smiling so bitterly, and he also knew why the Spirit King was so angry.

As we all know, the spirit king trusts the sorcerer very much, and he often learns witchcraft, but the spirit king does not dare to openly violate the precepts of the first emperor, and only dares to secretly support the sorcerer in the palace. But Ji Zheng has been educated by Taifu since he was a child, and he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, and thinks that witchcraft is the art of a god and a liar. Under the influence of Taifu for many years, he didn't even believe in the affairs of the gods, and the Xuanyuan royal family, who had always claimed to be the descendants of the gods, had such a freak, no wonder it would make the Spirit King so unhappy.

Who doesn't know the story of Emperor Xuanyuan, who founded the Xuanyuan Kingdom more than a thousand years ago, who cultivated into a god and ascended to the sky, as well as the miracle of the ancestor Jedi to heaven, but these nerds who can only read books don't believe it.

However, it is no wonder that they, since the Emperor of Heaven went to the Western Heavens, there are fewer and fewer descendants of the royal family with the bloodline of the Protoss, and the earth-shattering and shocking assassination incident three hundred years ago actually killed all the members of the royal family in the Xuanyuan Palace, and the bloodline of the Xuanyuan Royal Clan's Protoss was almost broken. It was also this time that the national fortunes of the Xuanyuan Kingdom declined again and again, and the growing vassal states no longer took the Xuanyuan Kingdom in their eyes, and even often transgressed, constantly challenging the authority of the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

Xuanyuan raised his arms and shouted, and the glorious years of the coming dynasty of all countries have since become history.

Shang Zhu Chong Ji Zheng smiled: "Your Highness is polite, the master of Yiming Pavilion is Wei Chen's uncle, we haven't met for a long time, Wei Chen just took this opportunity to say hello to his old man." ”

"That's great. Ji Zheng thanked Shang Zhu again with a grateful gaze.

Shang Zhu wore a black robe, with a wide forehead, a somewhat large nose, a nose that was tilted high, cheekbones that were high and raised, and a regular sideburn on each side.

At that moment, Ji Zheng and Shang Zhu immediately set off.

Si Tiange is in the west of Wanglong City, ten miles away from Xuande Palace, and Ji Zheng ordered someone to drive there.

The carriage swayed, Ji Zheng's face was very bad, and Shang Zhu looked at him as if he was very worried, so he asked: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has something to understand. ”

"Taibu, please. ”

"Why doesn't Your Highness believe in ghosts and gods?"

"Teacher Xiao Yuanzhi taught that the things of ghosts and gods are nonsense, the small ones plague the lives of the people, and the big ones can disrupt the dynasty and cause the country to fall into chaos. And the people live in the world, they should work hard, produce diligently, and live hard, and they should not believe that ghosts and gods come out of nothing. ”

"Really?"

"Does Taibu believe it?" Ji Zheng asked as he listened to Shang Zhu's tone that seemed to be a little sarcastic.

"Me?" Shang Zhu laughed, "Of course I do." ”

"Why is Taibu so convinced? ”

Because it's true. ”

"Really?"

"That was a long, long time ago. At that time, people, gods and demons all lived in the mountains and seas continent, after the Xuanyuan Emperor ascended to heaven, the demons made waves again, disturbed the mountains and seas continent, and killed human beings. Since then, the demon clan has been wiped out, the demon clan has no path, and the god clan has returned to heaven, but as the helpers of the gods, the Yuren Shark Clan and the Kuafu Clan have stayed in the Shanhai Continent. But that era is so old that many people don't believe it. ”

"Does Taibu believe it?" Ji Zheng asked again.

"Naturally. Speaking of which, the position of Taibu also evolved from a wizard, and I have no reason not to believe in the history of this. ”

Although there were many people on the street, it was not crowded to come and go, but because there were guards in front of the road, the carriage went very fast, and the two did not talk for long before they heard the guards report that they had arrived at Sitian Pavilion.

After the Emperor Zhuan Tiantong, he explicitly forbade wizards to engage in private activities among the people, drove a large group of wizards to Nanzhou, and only retained a few wizards to stay in the empire, and built the Sitian Pavilion, and all these wizards who were willing to obey the orders of the empire were included in the Sitian Pavilion. It is worth mentioning that although Si Tiange claims to be a non-governmental organization, it is responsible for the royal family, and many people ridicule Si Tiange as the king's private endorsement body.

Si Tian Pavilion in the beginning of the establishment of a small wooden house, after the years continue to repair and expand, now the scale has been very grand, although the name of the pavilion is not a small building complex, the exterior wall decoration is very simple, white walls and black tiles, the eaves of the main entrance hang a tortoiseshell plaque, engraved with three magnificent and majestic oracle bone characters: Si Tian Pavilion.

Ji Zheng had passed by Sitian Pavilion several times before, but he had never stepped into the pavilion, got out of the carriage, and stood at the door to look over.

The weather was gloomy and gloomy, and the black and white buildings were silent under the gray sky, which was especially solemn.

On weekdays, there is a little wizard who has just entered the door in Si Tiange guarding the door, but today there is no one guarding it, Ji Zheng and Shang Zhu glanced at each other, and they both felt very strange, and the two of them thought of the chaos in the night sky in the past few days, and a not very good feeling rose in their hearts.

Sure enough, Shang Zhu stood at the gate and shouted several times that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, but still no one came to greet him, so Shang Zhu had to be embarrassed to invite Ji Zheng in.

When they bypassed the front hall and stepped into the main entrance, the two found that the entire Si Tian Pavilion was in a mess at the moment, and everyone hurried over with their heads down, and they had no time to take care of the others.

Ji Zheng and Shang Zhu looked at each other, and both of them felt the seriousness of the matter.

On the way here, Ji Zheng was in trouble, and he didn't know how to ask the master of Yiming Pavilion, now it's okay, and now he can't ask anything.

A wizard at the front desk glanced over and met the eyes of the two of them. The others were panicked, and he was the only one who sat in the hall as if nothing had happened, dressed in a burlap coat, with a ju die wrapped around his waist, a skein around his knees, and a suga on his feet

ju), wearing a crown tassel.

"Senior Brother Shangzhu, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Li Yun said hello to Shang Zhu.

Shang Zhu knew Li Yun, he was a disciple of the Yiming Pavilion Lord in his later years, and he was the lowest among the many disciples, he was not yet twenty-eight years old this year, but he was the most talented wizard among the apprentices he had taught by the old Pavilion Master.

"Li Yun, Uncle Shi, how could he?" Shang Zhu still couldn't believe his ears.

"The old man has been doing well these days, he can eat and drink, and occasionally he can give a stick, who knows....... Cut. Li Yun held a wooden branch in his mouth and said lazily.

"Where? I want to see him one last time. Shang Zhu wiped two lines of tears with his sleeve.

"His room. Li Yun suddenly took out an envelope and threw it on the stage, "The old man left it yesterday, saying that he handed it to him after seeing the prince." With that, he turned and left.

Ji Zheng called out to him: "May I ask what this is?"

"Just open the letter. ”

"And where are you going now?"

"Where are you going?"

"Yes. ”

"The world is so big, you can't go anywhere. ”

"But there's always a place to go. ”

Li Yun looked at Ji Zheng, not knowing why he insisted on asking like this, but after thinking about it, he seemed to understand, and said, "Where I want to go, where is where I go." After speaking, the big sleeves fluttered away, and he sang loudly as he walked: "The troubled times are coming, mourning everywhere, thinking of my Datong, like a big dream, where is the destiny of heaven, and the four seas are fluttering." "The song dies out, and so do the people.

Ji was holding the letter, standing in place, hearing Li Yun's singing through Si Tiange, and at this time, his mind suddenly remembered the children's song sung by a few three-year-old children when he passed by the market a few days earlier:

Mountains and seas move, heaven and earth merge, summer rain and snow, winter has no sun, the sea turns mulberry fields;

The world changes, the world changes, the seven tribes are in chaos, the human race is declining, and the white clouds become dogs.

Troubled times, is it really coming?
