Chapter 0136: Wang Yan
The palace attendant arched his hand and said: "The king atoned for his sins, a few days ago I asked people to investigate this Longqing, and found that this person suddenly appeared in Shenzhou at the beginning of this year, and as soon as he appeared, he provoked the young master of Dunjie Village Wan Qi Wushuang in Black Rock City, and therefore he went to the blood killing order of the blood killing gambling house, and escaped the pursuit of the living Yama Shen Jie in Zhubi Mountain with the cultivation of Xuanyuan Realm at that time. ”
Seeing that Xuanyuan Heng listened carefully, the palace attendant continued: "What's even more amazing is that after he broke the mirror, he relied on his own strength to kill the two brothers of Bishan Shuangxiong, and then beheaded the living Yama Shen Jie, avenging the revenge of Zhubi Mountain!
"After he came to the royal city, in the face of the assassination of the four masters of the Earth Yuan Realm, not only did he not make a noise, but led him to Li Mountain, directly killed him, and at that time, he also broke through the mirror to the Tianyuan Realm in one fell swoop!"
"In the Divine Protector Mansion, he used the Tianyuan Realm to fight against the Innate Xuanyuan Realm, and he could still have the power to fight back, even those sect disciples would be difficult to do!"
"It seems that you have a high opinion of him!" Xuanyuan Heng nodded and said.
"In terms of cultivation, calling him a genius has wronged him! But from him, I can perceive that he and I are the same kind of human being. The palace attendant said with a smile.
"How do you say that?" Xuanyuan Hengyi became interested, staring at the palace attendant and asked.
"They're all people with stories!"
"Uh... That's right!" Xuanyuan Heng suddenly woke up, and finally figured out why he was so impressed by Long Qing's eyes, because there was a story in his eyes!
"You make arrangements, invite him to enter the palace with Shuotian and Boqian tomorrow, and I will hold a banquet in the Imperial Garden to entertain them, which can be regarded as thanking him for his action in the Divine Protectorate Mansion at that time!" Xuanyuan Hengyi ordered.
"Yes!" the palace attendant took the order, turned and walked outside.
Xuanyuan Hengyi shouted at his back: "Ao, by the way, invite Liu Baiqin from Qingcang Courtyard as well!"
"Yes!"
The palace attendants soon spread the news to the Xicheng courtyard and Qionglin Garden, Long Qing was also shocked when he heard that the king was going to feast him, after all, he and he had no deep friendship, but with Zhou Shuotian, Si Boqian and Liu Baiqin, they were also much more relieved.
On the second day, the four of them met for a banquet together.
Driving to the palace gate, there was already a waiter waiting on the side, and when he saw Long Qing and others getting down from the carriage, he greeted him with a smile.
The chamberlain, who was in his early twenties, looked handsome, and had a clever look in his eyes, and said to everyone: "Everyone, the feast is set up in the Imperial Garden, please come with me!"
Zhou Shuotian threw a silver ingot to the waiter, and said with a smile: "Then there will be labor!"
"Yes, yes!" the chamberlain took the silver and put it in his bosom with joy.
Long Qing and the others followed this chamberlain into the majestic and solemn palace gate, and what caught their eyes was the narrow and towering Yongdao, the city walls on both sides of the Yongdao were too high, blocking the sunlight from the outside, and suddenly gave people a cold and depressing feeling!
Passing through the road, and stepping through a palace gate, suddenly opened, the square is empty, the sun is shining, several white jade pillars stand on both sides of the stone steps, the flying dragon, flying bear and other reliefs on it are lifelike, just like the real general.
The road paved with white jade under the feet leads directly to the Qilin Palace, and there are patterns carved on the white jade, several pieces are connected into a picture, each picture is different, but it can be vaguely seen from the picture that these pictures are describing a person's deeds!
Zhou Shuotian saw that Long Qing could see it, so he explained: "These carvings all depict the deeds of the ancestor Emperor Xuanyuan back then!"
Long Qing suddenly realized and said, "I see!"
Step on the white jade stone, walk through the empty square, enter from the right path of the Qilin Hall, and pass through the winding corridors to finally arrive at the Imperial Garden.
Xuanyuan Hengyi was already waiting in a pavilion in the imperial garden, and when a few people saw it, they also took two steps quickly, and they were about to bow down.
As soon as Xuanyuan Heng knew that Long Qing and Liu Baiqin were both cultivators and were not used to the rules of this palace, he directly stopped him: "Everyone is from the rivers and lakes, don't stick to these red tapes!"
He made a gesture of invitation to the crowd and said, "Sit down!"
"King Xie!"
Everyone took their seats, and the drinks and dishes came up like flowing water.
Xuanyuan Heng picked up the wine glass and said to Long Qing: "The first glass of wine, I would like to thank you for the maintenance of the Divine Protector Mansion that day, please!"
"Not enough to worry about!"
"Boom!"
Long Qing hurriedly got up, picked up the wine glass, the wine glass touched in one place, and both of them drank it all!
Xuanyuan Hengyi motioned to the chamberlain next to him to fill his wine glass, and thanked Liu Baiqin with his wine glass: "This time, thanks to Qingcangyuan's help in saving the people of my Heavenly Empire, thank you here, please!"
"This is what Qingcang Yuan should do, the king doesn't need to worry about it!"
"Boom!"
The wine glasses collided, making a pleasant sound, and they drank it all and looked at each other and smiled.
Xuanyuan Hengyi asked the waiter to fill the wine glass, and said to Zhou Shuotian and Si Boqian: "I have been waiting for this glass of wine for ten years, and now I have finally waited for it." His eyes glistened with tears, and he said excitedly: "From now on, you will be my brothers!"
"!" Zhou Shuotian and Si Boqian understood his waiting, so they also said arrogantly.
"Dang!"
The wine glasses of the three of them collided together, and a lot of them splashed out because of the force!
Wine is a good thing, it can quickly enliven the atmosphere, open up to each other, make strangers become familiar, and make familiar people become intimate.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors, from the west of the sun to the west, until the moon hangs on the east branch. Long Qing and the others were very restrained at first, after all, this was the palace, but as they drank more and more, their nerves became more and more numb, and some words slipped out of their mouths uncontrollably.
Long Qing's eyes were misty, with a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and he tugged on Liu Baiqin's cuffs and said sadly, "Baiqin, you tell me... Tell me, why was your uncle Xuehua locked up by your master?"
Liu Baiqin was surprised when she saw Long Qing suddenly mention her uncle, because it was the secret of Qingcang Courtyard that her uncle was locked up in the underground cold pool, and very few people knew about it, so how could she not be surprised when he mentioned it, so she didn't answer his question, but asked rhetorically: "How did you know about this?"
"This..."Long Qing looked at Liu Baiqin's sharp eyes, and suddenly woke up, not knowing how to answer.
"I told him!" said Zhou Shuotian, who was dazed on the other side, grinning.
"Uh..."Liu Baiqin glanced at Zhou Shuotian.
Zhou Shuotian took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and said apologetically: "That day in the Hanhai Pavilion of Black Rock City, when you and Wan Qi Wushuang's kid bid for the purple vine, I said it in passing. ”
"I see!" Liu Baiqin saw that everyone already knew about it, so he had nothing to hide, so he said: "Actually, I don't know much about my uncle's affairs, when my uncle returned from traveling, he knelt down for a long time in front of the patriarch's ranking, and he also quarreled with the master a few times, and then he was locked up by the master, and this level is more than ten years!"
Zhou Shuotian sighed: "Your master is too ruthless, what did your uncle Xuehua say back then, it was also a peerless Fanghua, what a pity!"
Si Boqian pinched Zhou Shuotian's sleeve and gave him a look, he immediately understood that he had lost his words, so he said apologetically to Liu Baiqin: "Senior Sister Baiqin, I don't mean to be disrespectful to Dean Gao, it's just... You know!"
"Understood!" Liu Baiqin knew that he was unintentional, so she didn't pursue it, in fact, she was also worried about this matter in her heart, but every time she mentioned her uncle, her master was furious, and over time, no one dared to mention the name "Xuehua" anymore.
Long Qing saw that Liu Baiqin didn't understand the hidden secret, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, so he said casually: "When I was drinking with Wei Che the day before yesterday, I heard him say that Dun Tizhai seemed to be planning a shocking conspiracy, but he didn't know what it was!"
"It's not unusual at all!"
Zhou Shuotian said with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth: "Dun Ti Zhai has been looking for a kind of thing all these years, guess what?"
"What is it?" asked Xuanyuan Hengyi.
Zhou Shuotian said mysteriously: "Ruomu!"
"Wakaki?" the others had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Although Ruomu is a magical wood, it doesn't seem to have anything of great value!" Xuanyuan Hengyi also has a certain understanding of Ruomu!
The palace attendant suddenly interjected and said: "Ruomu is a very buoyant wood, legend has it that there is a river in the west called Ruoshui, feathers can't float on the water, but there is something in the world that can float on it!"
"Wakaki!" the others replied in unison.
"Yes!" A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the palace attendant, and he sighed: "Back then, Wuji Gate was destroyed because of the possession of a piece of Ruomu!"
"Ahh I see!"
Liu Baiqin suddenly thought of something and said, "There is a boat made of Ruomu in Qingcang Courtyard!"
"What?" the others looked at Liu Baiqin with wide-eyed eyes.
Liu Baiqin seemed to have figured out something, frowned slightly, and said: "Back then, Uncle Shi traveled to sea on a Ruomu boat, and when he came back, Master burned a fire! At that time, we thought that Master was angry, but now it seems that this Ruomu boat has another meaning!"
"I'm going, there is such a thing!" Zhou Shuotian sighed.
Si Boqian shook the paper fan, closed his eyes tightly, and sorted out these things in his mind, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and shouted: "I understand!"
"What do you understand?" Zhou Shuo hurriedly asked.
Si Boqian's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "I may understand why Dun Ti Zhai is looking for Ruomu!"
"Why?"
Si Boqian said solemnly: "More than ten years ago, Wan Qi Hanyue, the owner of Dunjie Village, and Xuehua of Qingcang Courtyard were a pair of fairy couples, I speculate that they must have taken a Ruomu boat to a certain place, and this place can only be reached by Ruomu boat, which is why Dunti Village has been searching for Ruomu!"
"Then how do you explain that Dean Gao is going to burn the Ruomu boat?" Xuanyuan Hengyi groaned.
Si Boqian frowned and speculated: "This should have something to do with that place, that place may have an ancient divine beast or a very powerful power!
"That's reasonable, but it's just speculation!" Zhou Shuotian sarcastically mocked Si Boqian angrily.
"If you want to know why, it's very simple!" Xuanyuan Heng smiled and said, "Just ask Xue Hua of Qingcang Courtyard directly!"
"Uh... It is estimated that Dean Gao will kill us!" Zhou Shuotian knew Gao Jiying's temper, and his neck shrank in fright.
"Haha..." The others laughed when they saw Zhou Shuotian's timid appearance.
