Chapter Eighty-Five: Ask Zutai

At noon on the second day, Qi Qingru followed Li Rong, escorted by the guards, and rode a phoenix chariot to the ancestral platform.

Yi Jiuxiao didn't go with her, although Qi Qingru really wanted Yi Jiuxiao to accompany her, but considering that there were elders of the royal family, she was afraid that some changes would happen for no reason.

The elders of the royal family are at least the powerhouses of the late stage of Jindan, and there are even Yuanying masters. Yi Jiuxiao has no mana fluctuations, and it may not be good to be recognized by him.

Wenzutai is not in the imperial city, but in the Taimiao ten miles away from the imperial city.

Taimiao is the ancestral temple of the Wei royal family, which is not only a place for the royal family to worship their ancestors and worship the heavens, but also a place for the elders of the royal family to practice.

Many masters of the royal family are stationed in it, and it is said that they can guard the national fortune, but it is unknown whether it is useful or not.

The scale of the temple is very grand, there is a row of palaces as high as several zhang at the main entrance, and the golden splendor is not lost to the palace.

There is a treasure pavilion on the west side of the palace, which is the place where the royal family surnamed Wei has hidden treasures for generations, and there must be a lot of treasures among them.

On the east side of the palace, there is also a Gong Fa Pavilion, in which there are elders who pass on the Gong Gong and master all kinds of exercises and classics of the royal family.

In addition, there are hundreds of houses in the palace for the cultivation of royal elders and royal powerhouses.

Outside the main gate, there is a square with a width of 500 zhang and a depth of 200 zhang, which is the place where the royal worship of heaven is located.

Every spring, the emperor would lead a group of officials to this place, build an altar in the square, and worship the heavens and ancestors on it.

This kind of sacrifice is called the Spring Festival, not only in Wei, but also in all countries on the mainland, in order to seek the protection of heaven and the protection of ancestors.

There is also a square inside the main gate of the temple, which is almost the same size as the square outside.

The ancestral platform is in the middle of the square in the temple, as its name suggests, it is a high platform, and it is also an altar.

It's just that the inner square is surrounded by a two-zhang high wall, and it is impossible to see what is inside from the outside.

Moreover, there are 2,000 forbidden troops stationed around the temple all year round, and ordinary people are not allowed to step into the temple, not to mention the outside square.

After all, this place is a sacred place for the Wei royal family, and no desecration is allowed, and no interference is allowed.

In a sense, the status of the Taimiao in the hearts of the Wei royal family is higher than that of the imperial palace, the imperial palace is only the emperor's, and the Taimiao is the entire royal family surnamed Wei.

Three days ago, Li Rong sent someone to inform the steward of the Taimiao, saying that he was going to bring the prince to participate in the ancestor ceremony.

Let the steward of the temple prepare in advance, and invite the elders of the royal family to send people out to help and witness.

The royal family of the Wei State currently has nine elders, two in the early Yuan Infant period and seven in the late Jin Dan period, and their strength is not strong among the big countries, but it is not weak either.

However, these elders only cared about using the royal resources for cultivation on weekdays, and almost did not care about mundane matters.

After the elders of the royal family cultivated to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, they simply didn't even do the elders, and disappeared without a trace, not knowing life and death.

Therefore, Li Rong didn't expect the nine elders to participate in the ancestor questioning ceremony, it would be very good to have three or four people go out of the customs to participate.

Among these people, there are those who have closed the life and death barrier and impacted the Yuan Infant, and a retreat is ten years and decades.

Half of them will fail to impact the Yuan Infant and finally die. As long as the life and death are closed, don't expect them to come out unless the sky falls.

Sure enough, in the end, only two elders came out to participate in the ceremony, which was the result of repeated requests.

According to Wei Quan, the steward of Taimiao, one of the elders is called Wei Dingke, who cultivated in the later stage of Jindan, and his breath is very powerful, and he is already a ninth-layer cultivation of Jindan.

Another elder is called Wei Qingyan, Qi Qingru and Li Rong can't feel his cultivation, in fact, this person is in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, and he is the Supreme Elder of the Imperial Family.

And Wei Quan, the steward of Taimiao, is an eight-layer cultivator of Jindan, and he is also a master of the royal family.

The two elders are the least, because there is a magic circle at the entrance of the Asking Ancestor Terrace, and this array is called the Sancai Array.

To activate this magic circle, not only does it need to consume a large number of high-grade spirit stones, but it also requires three masters who are at least in the late stage of Jindan.

They occupy the positions of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and they can open the magic circle by casting spells together, and the successor enters the ancestral platform from the entrance of the magic circle.

Only two elders came out, plus the steward of the Taimiao, and barely managed to get together three people.

Li Rong led Qi Qingru to kowtow to the two elders and the steward of the Taimiao, all three of whom were seniors of the royal family.

Wei Qingyan and Wei Dingke were even the emperors who retired from the previous dynasty, and they didn't even bother to pay attention to the kowtow of the mother and son, and went directly to the heaven and status to meditate.

Fortunately, Wei Quan nodded at Li Rong and Qi Qingru, which was regarded as giving them a face, and then he walked to the last position and sat down.

After the three of them sat down, they only heard Wei Qingyan, who was sitting in the heavenly position, whispering "open", and then Wei Dingke, who was sitting in the position, also said "open", and then Wei Quan, who was in the position, said "open".

After three sounds, three white rays of light shot out from the formation, converging into a white pillar of light the size of a bucket in the air.

I saw that this white light shot directly to the bottom of the Asking Ancestor Platform, and for ten breaths, I heard a "boom" sound, and a larger pillar of light was cast from the Asking Ancestor Platform.

This pillar of light came down from top to bottom, and it happened to fall on Qi Qingru, who was sitting under the Asking Ancestor Platform, and then she was swept away by the pillar of light.

Qi Qingru was dizzy for a while, not knowing where he was going, but he felt as if he had entered a certain space.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself on a large square, so large that she could not see the farthest.

In the middle of the square is a nine-zhang high statue, the person in the statue is a young man with a crown of Bo, his eyes are high, and he has the feeling of looking at all directions.

Looking up at the statue, Qi Qingru thought to himself: What kind of person is this, is this person the ancestor of the Wei State?

Suddenly, the statue let out a long sigh: "The sky is cracked, the four seas are tribulated, and it will be indestructible." ”

Qi Qingru was startled, how could this statue speak so suddenly.

And what she said was crazy things that she didn't understand at all, what kind of sky splitting, catastrophe in the four seas.

"Thirty years ago, there was a prince who broke Jindan, and today there is another Jindan layer, it is really not as good as the generation, it seems that my Wei family has no successor!"

Hearing the tone of the statue's speech, Qi Qingru knew that this statue was indeed the ancestor of the Wei family.

He seems to be complaining that the younger generations are weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and he can even see that he is a Jindan, which is really clever.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator can only feel that the other person's cultivation is in the early, middle, or late stage.

In the small realm of cultivators, the difference is not obvious, and it is almost impossible to see, at most they can only guess based on the strength of their breath.

As for what he said about the prince who came to the Jindan thirty years ago, Qi Qingru estimated that it should be the first emperor Wei Wen.

"The younger generation sees the ancestors and is willing to listen to the teachings of the ancestors. ”

Qi Qingru was very well-behaved, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, as the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person.

"You baby is also well-behaved, hey~ Why is it still a female baby! It's not the bloodline of my Wei family, is it possible that my Wei family was wiped out so soon?"

"Back to the ancestor, the Wei family is still there, I was just chosen by the royal family to be the prince by chance. ”

Qi Qingru was recognized as a woman by the statue, and she couldn't help but be shocked and ashamed.

"I see, that's okay, I give you a drop of true blood, and you will become the bloodline of my Wei family, but the risk is extremely high, life and death only depend on your fortune. ”

As soon as the words fell, a drop of blood the size of a soybean flew out of the statue's fingertips and went straight to the top of Qi Qingru's head, who was kneeling on the ground.

Just as the blood drops were about to approach the top of his head, he saw a flash of light above Qi Qingru's head, and a red dragon with a length of a foot flew out.

The red dragon opened his mouth and swallowed the blood droplet, as if he had eaten a great tonic, it seemed to be very useful, and disappeared into Qi Qingru's hair bun with a shake of his head.

"Haha~~" The statue laughed a few times, and then asked, "Are you a hidden dragon body?"

"Back to the ancestor, I am the Hidden Dragon Body. ”

Qi Qingru replied, you can't lie in front of the masters, and it is useless to deceive.

"Very good, I have waited for 10,000 years and finally waited for the Hidden Dragon Body, it seems that the sky has been saved! You hurry up and ascend the throne, and then destroy the rest of the kingdoms, collect all the Heavenly Dragon Recipes, and then try to save the sky. ”

This Wei family ancestor revealed a lot of excitement in his words, but the statue had no expression, otherwise it must be full of energy.

"Ancestor is above, I don't understand what you said about saving the sky, and I ask Ancestor to make it clear. ”

Cangtian Dragon Recipe Qi Qingru knew that the royal family exercises of the Qi State she practiced were the Cangtian Dragon Recipes, and the royal exercises of the Wei Kingdom were also Cangtian Dragon Techniques.

And she also guessed that whether it was the royal exercises of the Qi State or the royal exercises of the Wei Kingdom, it was just a fragment of the Cangtian Dragon Formula, and if all of them were collected, it should be a complete Cangtian Dragon Technique.

However, she didn't understand what to save the sky, she was a Jindan monk, she was just out of the mortal world, and she was too far away from the sky.

"The sky cracked that day......."

Just as he was saying this, I saw a thunderbolt sound, which was slashing on the top of the statue's head, splitting the statue to a shaky and almost toppling it.

Qi Qingru was terrified when she watched it from the sidelines, she had survived the Jindan Thunder Tribulation, and knew that the power of the Heavenly Thunder should not be underestimated.

And this heavenly thunder is several times stronger than the heavenly thunder when she crossed the tribulation, if it were her being split, she would definitely be blown into ashes, and her soul would be destroyed.

"I won't say it, I won't dare to say anything......."

The statue begged for mercy, and his voice was a little whimpering, like a child begging for forgiveness from his elders.

Then the thunder suddenly stopped, but the statue's face was already charred, and it no longer looked at the world with the same radiance as before.

Qi Qingru still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, nor did he dare to get up, and the statue didn't speak anymore, and the scene became extremely quiet.

It was a quarter of an hour before the statue spoke.

But the voice was extremely gloomy: "Get up, I can't say anything more to you, if you don't have any demands, go down." ”

"Ancestor, I really have a request, I wonder if you can agree?"

Qi Qingru didn't get up, but knelt on the ground and said, she was bold enough to propose it, and she didn't know what the consequences would be.
