The afterglow of autumn dyes the sky in an orange color, echoing the yellow corn on the earth, and the whole world turns yellow.

In the Chu Palace.

After dinner, Xiong Huai lazily lay on the couch, closed his eyes, listened to the sound of Wei Meiren's piano, and his mood was quiet and peaceful.

Just as the sound of the piano was slowly flowing, Li Qiu walked over and whispered in Xiong Huai's ear: "King, Sikong Zhaoyu is asking to see you with the left worker and the right worker?" ”

"The left and the right are the right workers! All three of them are here? Xiong Huai opened his eyes and asked, "Haven't they already reported on the matter of the canal today?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the gradually dim sky, and hesitated: "Did Sikong say that he asked to see the widow for something, if it was too late today, why didn't he wait for tomorrow to ask for a meeting?" ”

Li Qiu shook his head and said: "Back to the king, Sikong didn't explain why he asked to see him, but Sikong said that there is something big to report to the king, and the king is extremely summoned to them." Moreover, Sikong entered the palace with a wooden box in his hand, and the three ministers of Sikong Left and Right all had strange faces, and they were all extremely anxious. ”

"Oh!" When Xiong Huai heard that these three people had something important to tell each other, he immediately cheered up and ordered: "Quickly ask Sikong and them to go to the side hall, and the widow will arrive later." ”

"Yui!"

Soon, Xiong Huai came to the side hall, and after seeing the three of Zhaoyu, he finally knew what Li Qiu meant by his strange face.

I saw that all three of them showed expressions of excitement and fear, joy and worry, and they were all panting nervously, and they really looked strange.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai asked in surprise: "Sikong, two gentlemen, what is the matter, they actually asked to see the widow at this time." ”

The three of them looked at each other when they heard this, then swallowed their saliva, and took a step back to let Zhaoyu speak.

Zhaoyu took the brocade box, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the great joy of the sky, the sky is auspicious, my Chu country will definitely prosper!" ”

After Zhaoyu spoke, he had already bowed excitedly to Xu Xing: "Congratulations to the king, auspicious rain has descended from the sky, indicating that my Chu country is about to prosper." ”

"Xiangrui?" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you have found the traces of the fire phoenix?" ”

I can't help Xiong Huai not think so, Chu State to one of the five emperors of Zhuan Xuan as the ancestor, called Zhurong Zhurong, Zhu Rong legend is the god of fire, according to the Chu State of Chu said: Zhu Rong, its essence is a bird, away from Luan. Therefore, the state of Chu took the fire phoenix as a totem and worshiped the fire phoenix madly.

And the fire phoenix is also integrated into all aspects of the Chu State, from the patterns on the clothes to the home decoration, all of which are related to the fire phoenix.

As for dragons, except for the allusions that Ye Gong likes dragons for more than a hundred years and leaves Ye Gong as a good dragon, dragons are not particularly popular in the Chu State.

If it is auspicious from the sky, Xiong Huai naturally thinks that there is a trace of the fire phoenix.

Xiong Huai looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the hall and thought thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately shook his head: "Great King, it's not like that, it's not the trace of the fire phoenix. It's..."

As he spoke, Zhaoyu stopped, stretched out a pair of trembling hands, staggered the brocade box, and said, "The king, Xiangrui is in the box, please take a look at it yourself." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned when he heard this, there are still real things?

Xiangrui is put in the box!

Thinking about it, he glanced at Li Qiu beside him.

Li Qiu nodded his head and walked into the hall to pick up the brocade box in Zhaoyu's hand.

Seeing Li Qiu coming to his side, Zhao Yu immediately handed him the brocade box carefully, and then advised: "Si Gong, be careful, this is the auspicious rui of my Chu country!" ”

Li Qiu nodded and responded, "Sikong, please rest assured!" ”

"Si Gong, be careful!" The person on the side said at the same time.

"Please rest assured, two gentlemen!"

Listening to the instructions of the three of them, Li Qiu cheered up and carefully took the brocade box, but found that the brocade box was very light, like an empty object.

Despite this, Li Qiu did not dare to be careless, and walked towards the king of Chu with great caution.

One step at a time, after a while, the brocade box was placed on the case in front of King Chu.

After the three of Zhaoyu saw that the brocade box was placed on the case, they breathed a long sigh of relief, especially Zhaoyu, who was already sweating nervously, and only then did he dare to wipe the sweat on his face slightly.

Seeing this, Xiong Huai was affected by everyone, and immediately held his breath and solemnly opened the brocade box. After seeing the contents of the box, Xiong Huai's pupils immediately contracted sharply, his eyes widened, and then, he showed a look of ecstasy.

The things in the box are two pieces of glass, mixed with five colors, intertwined with each other, not beautiful, can only be said to be passable, not dazzling!

In the past two or three years, Zhaoyu has successively offered several pieces of glass, all of which were inadvertently refined by craftsmen!

It's just that the yield rate of glaze is extremely low, and the craftsmen can only refine the glaze, but they can't say how it is refined, and it is completely dependent on luck.

Seeing these two pieces of glaze, Xiong Huai was immediately overjoyed, and the auspicious Rui offered by Sikong Zhaoyu is what the glaze illustrates, indicating that more than three years have passed, and the craftsmen of Chu have mastered the manufacturing technology of glaze.

If Chu can manufacture glaze on a large scale, then Chu's financial problems will be greatly alleviated.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai took out one of the pieces of glass from the brocade box, and watched it carefully in front of him, although his appearance was not good, but the more he looked at it, the more he was happy, and he couldn't help sighing: "Okay, good, auspicious, worthy of auspiciousness." ”

After Xiong Huai took out the glass, everyone in the hall had already seen this five-colored glass from the hands of the King of Chu, and they were all stunned.

When the words of the King of Chu fell, all the people in the palace immediately bowed: "Congratulations to the king, auspicious rain from the sky, great Chu should be happy!" ”

Xiong Huai immediately laughed when he heard this.

I haven't finished laughing yet.

Zhaoyu had already gotten up and praised loudly: "Great King, in the past, Zi Liezi said: Heaven and earth are also things, and things are insufficient, so the former Nuwa clan refined five-color stones to make up for it; It is enough to stand at the four poles. ”

"King, now that the five-colored stone is in my Chu country, it shows that my Chu country has been recognized by Nuwa, which is tantamount to ······"

On the other side, Xiong Huai was still laughing, but he heard Zhaoyu pull Nuwa out and treat this piece of glass as Nuwa's token five-color stone, and he was stunned for a moment.

It is refined, five colors, and some transparent, like gold and not gold, like jade and not jade, and the five-color glass is regarded as a five-color stone that fills the sky.

Xiong Huai suddenly stopped laughing, and then choked on saliva, coughed suddenly a few times, accidentally shook his hand, and the five-colored stone fell from his hand.

In the panic of everyone, the five-colored stone fell to the ground, only to hear the "click" snap, and shattered.

Zhaoyu's voice and Xiong Huai's coughing all stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the temple.

At this moment, except for Xiong Huai and Zhaoyu, who were stunned, everyone else pressed their heads tightly to the ground, and they didn't dare to take a breath, and a thought appeared in their hearts.

The auspicious five-color stone was broken by the king...

What can I do?

Will the king kill people in a fit of rage? Or secrecy?

Moreover, because of the matter of breaking the five-color stone, will my Chu State evil Nuwa and thus be guilty of heaven?

The people's bodies were stiff, their hearts were afraid, and they could not calm down for a long time.
