Chapter 27: The gentleman's words are light

The three elders of the Heavenly Palace watched the emperor's purple clothes disappear into the depths of the mist, they glanced at each other, smiled and sighed.

The good night is short, but tonight's time seems to be particularly long, the three elders sit around the ever-bright lights in the temple, and take turns to probe outside the temple from time to time, peeking into the sky.

The night breeze blew, the treetops murmured, and the sky was silent.

The sky was white, the glow gradually leaked through the thin clouds, the quiet palace was dyed with a faint golden color, and the birds perched in the trees began to squeak, and a new day began.

The three elders walked out of the temple and looked at the continuous plane trees under the temple, the trees were swaying, reflecting the brilliant morning glow in the sky, and the morning of the heavenly palace was soft and charming, but the only thing missing was the new people who should have come to the temple to worship the Holy Ancestor.

On the altar, the statue of the Holy Ancestor is as solemn and majestic as ever, his gaze is restrained and wise, as if he has seen through the world, and he does not want to think about it, the three elders looked at the jade carving with a reverent face for a moment, Fang turned his head, glanced at each other, shook his head and sighed, "Why is this?"

Rapid footsteps sounded in the morning light, the three elders' eyes lit up, and they all turned around to look, and the emperor and Xi in purple satin robes were hurrying towards the temple, the golden mask that covered the face yesterday was gone, and the fresh and handsome face was re-presented in the glow.

The three elders hurriedly stepped forward, the Emperor of Heaven paused, his sharp eyes swept over the tired faces of the three people, and his sword eyebrows twisted slightly: "Didn't you rest last night?" There is nothing important today, let's go back to the temple and rest! ”

The wise man stepped forward, he stretched out his hand to rub his dry old eyes, and said with a smile: "The old slave is old, he can't sleep for a long time, emperor, do you want to enter the temple to worship the Holy Ancestor?" Why hasn't the mistress arrived? ”

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes dimmed: "I will go out later, so I don't have to disturb her." ”

He lifted his robe, walked straight into the temple, burned incense and knelt down to worship, and the three elders looked at each other, standing outside the temple gate for some reason.

After the tea time, the Emperor of Heaven stepped out of the temple, he looked at the three old men who seemed to be nailed to the ground with wooden stakes, and his voice was calm: "Yesterday, the dragon warned me, I was uneasy, and now I am going to the demon ruins to inspect in case it recurs, you stay in the palace and rest!" ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, the three old faces condensed into a wrinkle, and only one of the protectors said in a trembling voice: "Emperor, the queen is newly married in the first month of Yan'er, and it is not appropriate to leave the palace." ”

The Heavenly Emperor's face sank, and he said in a sullen voice: "Why not? ”

The four of them were relatively silent for a moment, and the wise man smiled and said: "The divine dragon warning should be an important matter, but the warning has been lifted yesterday, it should not be a big problem, the old slaves think that this inspection matter, there is no need to alarm the emperor, just send a few bronze fighters to go." ”

The Heavenly Emperor's eyes were gloomy, and he did not speak.

The wise man covered his nose and coughed a few times, and said: "Since ancient times, the woman given by the phoenix crown will be the best, throughout the past emperors, the emperor and the queen have raised their eyebrows, so the emperor does not need to worry too much, or stay in the palace with peace of mind."

The corners of the Heavenly Emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his hand, interrupting the wise man's words.

He looked at the continuous palace soaked in the morning light, and said coldly: "Shenlong will not give unwarranted warnings, in the past few years, have the three of them encountered yesterday's events?" It is rumored that the Jinling Demon Clan is an immortal, and you know this better than me. Otherwise, why did the father leave a legacy to guard against it for a hundred years before he died? ”

The third elder's face changed awe-inspiring, and the keeper said in a deep voice: "We have been monitoring that land for all these years, and there are no visions. ”

The Emperor of Heaven sighed, and said lightly: "The dragon stone carving in the palace originated from ancient times, and the historical records were cast to warn the demon clan. ”

The three elders were silent.

After a while, the wise man looked up at the emperor with a gloomy expression, and said: "It is better to take precautions, this is the right thing, but there is no need to rush for a while, yesterday's alarm was fleeting, and it may not be harmful." These days are the emperor's good period, today out of the palace, in the unreasonable, the old slaves dare to bond the emperor's itinerary, we can send the bronze fighter to go there to inspect, if there is really an abnormal situation, the emperor will go again, okay? ”

The Heavenly Emperor's face was pale, and his eyes suddenly turned cold: "How can this matter be delayed?" It's a strange and sinister place, do you think the bronze fighter can handle it? ”

The three elders knelt in front of the Emperor of Heaven and said in a deep voice: "The ceremony of the emperor and queen to unveil the crown must not be delayed, and the emperor thinks twice." ”

The Heavenly Emperor's handsome face was suddenly dyed with a thin layer of anger, and his cold gaze swept over the stubborn old men under him, and said indifferently: "Since the phoenix crown is given, it will be a good fate, and since it is a good fate, why be afraid to wait?" I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? ”

The three elders looked at each other, this matter was indeed the emperor's private matter, and the minions should not interfere too much.

The wise man scratched the silver-white hair on his head, and muttered: "But the ancients stipulated that the Hehuan party was a rite, and the emperor still followed the ancient law, and it was more appropriate to go after the ceremony was completed." ”

The Emperor of Heaven snorted, and the three old men bowed their heads respectfully and knelt in front of him, and said in unison: "Please go back to the palace." Together with the main mother, they came to the temple for a sacrificial ceremony. ”

The Emperor of Heaven sneered, displeased, and said: "In the past, Hexi was young, and the three of them were good at guiding them, but now that Hexi has been an adult for many years, does it even have to be arranged by the three of them one by one?" ”

He stopped talking, turned around and was about to stride away.

The third elder pounced, stretched out his hand and grabbed the emperor's robe, and called loudly: "Emperor, please stay." ”

The Emperor of Heaven turned his head, the sleeves of his robe waved, and a gust of wind was raised, and the three elders made a few sounds, and were carried up by the wind, rolling on the platform like a ball, and the Emperor of Heaven stared at the old man who was spinning in a circle, and said coldly: "The three of you have overstepped your authority too much today, so let's go back to the temple and sit and chat!" ”

The defender propped up the ground hard, raised his head, and gasped and said: "It's the old slave who offended the emperor, yesterday the dragon warned me, my heart is also uneasy, if the emperor really insists on going today, I and the protector should accompany me, speaking of which, we haven't trampled on that place for more than 20 years, so it's good to go and see." ”

Later, he hung his head, and his mottled face was full of gloom.

The Emperor of Heaven silently looked at the three people who struggled to get up from the ground, since the return of their father, they have been supporting and assisting their young self to deal with the affairs of the Heavenly Domain, he has always respected the three elders, if it is not for the disorder of mind today, he will not speak against them, now seeing the eyes of the three of them, the words are earnest, and the feelings can not be shirked, so he has to take a step back, he smiled and said: "Okay, even if I am afraid of you, the old rules, you two go out with me, and the wise man stays in the palace!" ”
