Concubine Ning Guifei soon came.

She wore a pink fringed freckle-patterned brocade dress, a baochai on her head, exquisite makeup, and luxurious accessories. As usual, followed by a group of women in palace costumes, the style is extraordinary.

When they saw her coming, they should all kneel, young and old. As a result, the people in the outer court, the middle court, and the inner court knelt on the ground.

Shen Man was in it, looking at Ning Xiangye, who was about to kneel on the ground in front of him, thinking that as long as this woman married the emperor, even her father, who was in power, would kneel down and be a minister, no wonder there were so many women who wanted to enter the palace.

The concubine did not speak directly to everyone, all the orders were conveyed by Xiao Dezi beside her, Xiao Dezi only said "get up" to the people in the inner courtyard, and then, you could hear a voice in the middle courtyard and the middle courtyard repeating Xiao Dezi's words. In this way, the concubine's orders were conveyed layer by layer.

The concubine sat down, swept her eyes, frowned, and asked, "The gate supervisor hasn't come yet?" ”

Ning Xiang pretended not to hear, and sat there with a straight body reads.

The eldest prince Zhu Kui glanced at Ning Xiang and replied respectfully, "The gate supervisor may have something to delay, the mother concubine is a little restless, and the sons will send someone to invite you." ”

Ning Xiang looked up at Zhu Kui, with an obscure look in his eyes, and said with a sullen voice, "If the gate supervisor is coming, it has already appeared at this moment." If you don't come, the eldest prince will personally invite you, and it will be difficult for a strong man. ”

Zhu Kui was silent, and when he was embarrassed, he heard the front teeth report, "The gate is overseed-" Zhu Kui immediately looked happy, leaned over and said, "Isn't this coming." ”

Ning Xiang remained silent and still sat upright.

Shen Man was in the crowd behind the concubine, trying to keep her head down, she listened to Ning didn't seem to be very friendly to the eldest prince, and at this moment, when she heard that the mysterious gate supervisor had finally arrived, she couldn't help but raise her head slightly, wanting to take advantage of the location to see the gate supervisor.

She had heard a lot about the gatekeepers, and she was full of curiosity about the most mysterious and capable people in the world.

"Shen Man, you are also curious, what kind of character is this gate prison." Ning Chun suddenly spoke, and said in a voice that only Shen Man could hear.

"The position of gatekeeper is passed down from generation to generation. Only the previous gate supervisor was qualified to choose an heir, and even the Son of Heaven did not have the right to intervene, which was a rule handed down after the opening of the dynasty. The current Daimon took over five years ago, and in this short period of five years, he not only formulated the 'Twelve Levels of Official Ranks' to unify the official ranks of the imperial court, but also compiled the "Calendar" book to predict changes in the heavens to promote agricultural cultivation. He was born in the astronomical sect, and he can observe celestial phenomena and measure numerology. At the same time, he is also good at Danmen, arithmetic, and medicine...... He is the only one in the world today and the first person in the Dafeng Dynasty. It is precisely because he is omnipotent that he can sway the government and the opposition with a casual word......"

Shen Man was dumbfounded. She knew that this gate supervisor was amazing, but she didn't know that he was proficient in almost all the disciplines of the Yin and Yang Dao! At the beginning, Ning Xu, who was talented and intelligent, only dared to learn astronomy and arithmetic, but this gate supervisor actually included everything, and all of them were perfect!

"Some people say that he was just lucky, and he got the true inheritance of the previous gate wardens; But some people feel that he has such ability because he is not a human at all, but a god......" Ning Chun's low words carried a hint of mockery.

Shen Man felt shocked and strange, a woman wearing a moon-white brocade robe and leading two different colored dresses was slowly walking forward. As rumored, he wore a mask with a white bone china pattern, his steps were light, and his clothes were fluttering. The long silky black hair is draped over the shoulders, making it look more and more fairy-like and out of the ordinary.

The two men who followed him were also wearing masks. But the two of them were dressed unusually brightly, one was wearing a bright red peony brocade robe, and the waist was soft. One is an aqua blue skirt, petite in size, and the mask only covers the upper part of the face, exposing Sakura's small lips and the high bridge of the nose, and at the same time, there are sweet swirls that are sometimes displayed on the side of the mouth. These two people looked out of place with the elegant, fairy-like gatekeeper who walked ahead.

Since the three of them entered the inner courtyard, everyone's eyes stayed on them. With adoration, reverence and envy.

Shen Man was on the high platform, and after everyone, he could also look at them clearly. But these three people are all masked, and their appearance is unknown, but Shen Man knows that a person with such momentum and temperament must be outstanding in appearance.

Just as he was stunned, Shen Man felt that a gaze was projected towards him. She followed her gaze by feeling, and it just so happened that she met the calm and deep eyes of the gatekeeper in front of her. At that moment, Shen Man heard a "groan" in his heart, and the whole person froze evilly.

This look ...... Somewhat familiar......

"Ministers, see the concubine Niangniang, see the eldest prince, see Her Royal Highness Princess Decheng reads;." The woman in the blue dress knelt down and saluted, and the woman in red next to her also knelt down, only the gate supervisor only bent down and bowed.

"I heard that the gate supervisor doesn't have to bow to anyone except the emperor, it seems to be true......," Ning Chun said thoughtfully, "But why didn't he speak, is he a dumb man?" ”

Shen Man is also very strange, if the gate supervisor is actually a mute, it is really a joke made by God.

"Lime-sama excuses me." The concubine smiled gently, "Why didn't the gate supervisor speak today, and asked Lord Lime to do it for him?" ”

The woman in the water blue dress was Lime, only to hear the corners of her mouth curl and smile, "Concubine Qi, the gate supervisor has been refining pills for the Empress Dowager these days, and I accidentally ate something bad, and I lost my voice for a while." ”

The audience was speechless......

The concubine said, "Not long ago, I heard that the gate supervisor had worked hard because of the drought in the northwest, and he prayed day and night to guide him and lost his voice, so it didn't take long, why was he so tired to try the pill?" Could it be that there is no one else in the Yinyang Gate except for the gate supervisor? ”

This is blaming the Yin and Yang Gate.

Lime only smiled.

The concubine's gaze turned to the woman in red again and asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Concubine Qi, this is the new Astronomical Gate Supervisor." Lime said again.

"This palace remembers that the previous gate supervisor was surnamed Zou, and he was a descendant of the first gate supervisor in my dynasty." The concubine twisted her eyebrows and thought.

"The concubine is not mistaken, the previous door supervisor was Zou is Lord Ming Zou, but Lord Zou is deceased, and now he is replaced by the person recommended by the gate supervisor, and he is the one in front of him."

"Although the Yin-Yang Gate is supervised by the gate supervisor, the appointment and dismissal of officials can't let the gate supervisor have the final say, right?" Ning Xiang suddenly opened his mouth to make a difficulty, and everyone knew that this was still lingering about Ning Xu's death. It's okay if the gate supervisor doesn't come today, and if he comes, he will inevitably have to deal with Ning Xiang's embarrassment.

Everyone in the inner courtyard was worried about the gatekeeper. Not long ago, the emperor punished the gate supervisor of the court, wanting to resolve the grievances of these two important ministers in the court, but he didn't expect the birthday banquet of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this gate supervisor knew that it was the Hongmen banquet, but he still came, and he just came, but he misused the pill and was temporarily dumb, even if Ning Xiang was embarrassed, he couldn't argue.

Could it be that she calculated in Taige that when she came today, she would turn evil into good fortune?

But Ning Xiang is never easy to mess with, this is his territory, it is his birthday banquet, and even Ning Guifei, who has the highest rank, is also a person from his Ning Mansion, I really don't know how the gate supervisor will survive this pass.

"The gate supervisor has already started the Shengshang, and the Shengshang has already allowed it, I don't know what Xiangye is dissatisfied with the Shengshang's decision?" The lime is smiling, like a spring breeze.

"Since all the distinguished guests have arrived, it is better to have a banquet now." The concubine said, "The gate supervisor is invited to sit down." ”

So the drum music started, and a line of beautiful women in green radish gauze clothes flung their water sleeves to enter, and there was a scene of singing and dancing to promote peace and music.

But Shen Man was even more restless than before, because she felt that the gate supervisor's eyes had been looking this way.

Ning Chun must have also found out, and he also "hummed", which didn't seem strange.

After the dance, I saw a man in a dark robe walk in quickly, this is a middle-aged man, with a small beard on his chin and a bulging cheekbone.

When the concubine saw this person, her brows furrowed, and she was about to ask a question when she saw Ning Xiang stand up.

"Qi Qi Guifei Niangniang, this person is the second-class onmyoji Hong Dao Yihong master in my Prime Minister's Mansion, who has worshiped under the Wukong Zhenren Sect in Zhongfu Mountain since he was a child, and is good at astronomy and pills. This time, I heard that the gate supervisor was coming, so I begged Weichen to let him enter the inner courtyard to pay a visit. Weichen saw that he was sincere, so he made his wish without authorization, and asked the concubine to fulfill it. ”

As soon as Ning Xiang's words fell, everyone in the inner courtyard fell silent. Zhu Kui's face sank, but he still pretended not to care and said, "Ning Xiang, the gate supervisor is here today to congratulate you on your birthday, if there is an onmyoji in the house who wants to ask to teach the gate supervisor, it is better to choose another day to come to the door, I believe the gate supervisor will not refuse." ”

He originally wanted to leave a way back for Ning Xiang, and didn't want to embarrass the scene. Wouldn't it be a big laugh to let the gate supervisor accept the challenge of an unknown onmyoji and spread it out? If he fails in the challenge, it is understandable that he will be defeated under the hands of the first gate supervisor of the world's Yin-Yang Dao Technique, and he will be famous for his fearless spirit tonight; If he is lucky enough to succeed in the challenge, he will sweep away the face of the gate supervisor, so that he will never be able to raise his head again.

Zhu Kui stared at Ning Xiang deeply, thinking that he wanted to lose the face of the gate eunuch so disregarding the overall situation today, probably because Ning Xu's death hit him too hard, and he still refused to cross this hurdle.

How do you know that Ning Xiang didn't care about the prince's face at all, and said loudly, "Since the gate supervisor took over his duties five years ago, he has rarely shown up, and I only heard that the gate supervisor has locked himself in the Taige all day to develop pills, but I don't know how effective it is?" If the gate supervisor does not show his ability in front of the people of the world for a long time, I am afraid that the people of the world will be cold to me. Soon the Yin-Yang Dao exam is about to be held, why not take this opportunity to show off your skills and the heart of a Yin-Yang Dao student? ”

The words are deafening, and the head is the way. But he has forced Ning Xiang himself and the gate supervisor to death at the same time.

Shen Man felt very uncomfortable.

Ning Xu......

You died, and people still remember you...... Maybe if I die, no one will remember me, because I have no relatives and no reason in this world.

The gate supervisor was still sitting, and the clouds were light and breezy. Lime and the woman in red were separated, only to hear Lime step forward and say, "Hong Dao is a second-class onmyoji, and he is not qualified to compete with the gate supervisor at all, and he is not even qualified to compete with me." Then she picked up the object hanging around her waist, hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "This is the jade plate of the Yin and Yang Dao official system, Hong Daoyi, show your look." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Hong Daoyi could only pick up his own sign, which was a copper token with the words "second-class onmyoji" branded on it.

Everyone looked at the waist of the lime, and the words "Yin and Yang Creation, Special Great Onmyoji" were written side by side in a compilation book. The texture of jade is warm and shiny, which is incomparable to the bulkiness of copper.

"Those who have obtained less than 100 places in one course in the Yin-Yang Dao Examination are all Yin-Yang Dao masters. Only those who are within the three elements can be called the Great Onmyoji. Moreover, only the first test shall prevail, and the subsequent test will not be counted. Ordinary Yin-Yang Dao masters have to learn to advance, and the first level is the first class, starting from the tenth level, and the highest is the special class. Hong Daoyi's age is already considered fast to be a second-class Yin-Yang Daoist, but this Lime Gate Supervisor is a great Yin-Yang Daoist ......" Ning Chun muttered in a low voice, his gaze swept to the calm Gate Supervisor, "The people under him are all rare talents. ”

Shen Man asked, "Can't different levels of Onmyoji compete?" ”

Ning Chun snorted and said, "If the Lime Gate Supervisor accepts the challenge, it will be a humiliation to her. ”

Hong Daoyi was aggrieved by Lime's words, and after receiving Ning Xiang's eyes, he kowtowed and said, "Since the gate supervisor and the lime gate supervisor can't give advice, then ask the new Tianwen Gate Supervisor to compete with Zaixia." ”
