Prologue: The Heavens Change

Next Chapter

As the Song Dynasty with the most powerful country in China, its capital Hangzhou is also synonymous with prosperity. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, several generations of Song emperors have migrated the surrounding population and built a large number of buildings, until the time of this generation of Song Xing Emperor Zhao Yu, Hangzhou has been crowned with the reputation of "the first city in China".

The reason why it can have this reputation is not only the prosperity and richness of the city, but also because of the huge spiritual array that shrouds the sky over the city. This was laid out by the spiritual masters of the Song Dynasty after spending countless energy and painstaking efforts, and it took hundreds of years to lay it out. It is no exaggeration to say that relying on this spirit array alone is enough to protect Hangzhou from falling.

It is precisely because of the existence of this spirit array that Hangzhou has had an unwritten rule of forbidding the void for many years. In fact, there was no need to stipulate it, because all those who dared to fly to a height of fifty zhang in the city would be reduced to ashes by the spirit array above.

Today, however, this unwritten rule has been broken......

Just about a hundred feet above Hangzhou, a majestic man was walking in the night sky.

Although compared to the Hangzhou City below, the man was as small as an ant, but when he stepped forward out of thin air and stepped into the night sky step by step, the majestic momentum of his body made the man taller than the entire Hangzhou City, so that the black clouds around him seemed to be afraid of his existence and quietly dispersed towards the surroundings.

However, it is also strange to say, the man's momentum is obviously as majestic as a mountain, vast and immeasurable, but it does not interfere with the surrounding spirit array, and the spiritual energy in the formation pattern flows around him without hindrance, and even occasionally passes through his body, as if his whole person is completely transparent and does not exist at all.

It seemed to be slow and fast, like slow and real, but in a moment, the man had already passed through most of the spirit array and came to the gate of the imperial city.

Standing in the air in front of the gate of the imperial city, the man put his hands on his hands and said indifferently: "Don't open the door yet?"

"King Chu?" A voice as quiet as water suddenly came from the depths of the imperial city, and then the spirit array above the palace city suddenly split into a gap, making way for a straight passage to the imperial palace.

With a smile, the man known as the King of Chu stepped out, and in an instant, he passed through the heavy palace walls, and along the passage in the spirit array, he came to the front of the court where the civil and military ministers discussed their daily affairs.

At this time, there were already several people standing in front of the door of the palace, and when they saw the man appear, an old man in a purple robe smiled indifferently: "The king of Chu came very quickly. ”

"Since it is eighteen tokens in a row, the king is naturally in a hurry," replied casually, the man glanced around, frowned, and said, "I thought I just called this king, but I didn't want to even you all arrive, what is it that is worth making such a big move?"

Seeing him ask, a man wearing a Peng helmet and wearing golden chain mail smiled: "I don't know, Su Xiang said, let's talk about it after everyone is ready." ”

"It's a mystery. Frowning slightly, the man snorted, and then looked at the purple-robed old man from earlier.

Seeing him coming, the purple-robed old man put his hands in his sleeves, arched in front of his abdomen, and looked like the most kind old man in the neighborhood, and said with a smile: "Su Xiang has never participated in court politics, and he rarely shows up, so the old man doesn't know what is going on." ”

"Hmph!" Among the few people in front of the palace gate, the last golden-armored old man with white hair and a body as straight as a steel spear said coldly, "If you Qin Xiang don't know, who else can know?"

With a smile, Qin Xiang bowed his head and replied with a smile: "King Yang has praised it, and he is ashamed!"

Seeing a few people playing with a sharp edge, the man who had come across half of Hangzhou unconsciously shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at the court hall in front of him, and his eyes were full of deep meaning.

In the current Song Dynasty, the military generals and civil ministers were led by the three kings and the two prime ministers respectively.

The three kings are all princes with different surnames, the man who came across Hangzhou was the "King of Chu" Chu Yangge, the man wearing the Peng helmet was the "King of Yue" Yue Pengju, and the old man in the golden armor was the "King of Yang" Yang Ji, the three of them sat in the northwest, south and north of the Song Dynasty, responsible for resisting the three kingdoms of Dajin, Mongolia and Nanban.

The two phases are Su Xiang and Qin Xiang. The old man in the purple robe before was Qin Xiang, who had been in the position of prime minister for many years, and nearly seventy percent of the court's ministers were his henchmen, which was monstrous.

As for Su Xiang, although he is also in the phase, this person likes celestial divination, astrological ghosts and gods, and has never participated in court politics, and his subordinates are only in charge of Si Tianjian and other departments.

This person has never been involved in the court, and this is the first time he has used the power of the prime minister to issue a gold medal to convene everyone. If it weren't for this, the three kings who had been sitting on the border all the year round would not have hurried back, and all of them appeared in the imperial city.

Seeing that King Yang's face turned blue by Qin Xiangqi, King Yue sighed helplessly and said, "The New Year is approaching, Su Xiang suddenly called us back to the dynasty, and I don't know if it is good or evil?"

"Whether it's auspicious or fierce, aren't there three kings in charge?" Qin Xiang smiled and said gently, "Any charm and spirit is just a matter of three people who are wiped out." ”

"Qin Xiangye is a good calculation!" King Chu heard the filthiness between Qin Xiang's words, and sneered unconsciously, "It's best for us to wait for the military to suffer a big loss, so that you can better control the situation, right?"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Qin smiled modestly and said respectfully: "What did the King of Chu say, isn't it the prime minister's responsibility to worry about the country and work hard to handle state affairs for His Majesty?"

Just when the words of everyone in the hall gradually became angry, a mysterious aura suddenly poured out from the corner of the main hall, and immediately I saw a snow-white brocade robe man wearing a jade mask strolling out of the shadow of the corner of the hall.

"Su Xiang is finally here," Seeing the man appear, King Yang sneered and said lightly, "Dare to ask why I was suddenly called back to the dynasty this time?"

"Nature is a big deal. Su Xiang shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said indifferently.

In this dark night, Su Xiang's voice was extremely warm and elegant, revealing indescribable comfort, even King Yang, who had the most fiery personality, couldn't help but relax at this moment, and felt a little less angry.

Bowing slightly, Su Xiang said softly: "This incident is urgent, and as a last resort, I sent twenty-four gold medals in a row to summon the three princes back to Beijing. ”

Chu Yangge frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he was relieved, although he only received eighteen gold medals, but he thought that the remaining six should still be on the way, but he had already set off to return to Beijing, so he missed it.

"It's okay," King Yue smiled heartily and hugged his fists, "Su Xiang is in charge of the Heavenly Prison of this dynasty, I guess there is something abnormal in the celestial phenomena, right?"

"It's not that there is some abnormality, but a great abnormality," sighed softly, Su Xiang said lightly, "Everyone, a few days ago, the Holy Lord ordered me to open the altar and predict the good and bad ...... for the year-end hall."

"Over the years, my Great Song Dynasty has been in good weather, and the Three Kingdoms of Mengjin and Mandarin have rarely come to commit crimes, if it is normal, it should be a good luck," Speaking of this, Chu Yangge frowned slightly and asked, "Isn't it a big murderer?"

"It's indeed a big murderer!" With a wry smile, Su believed that with a flick of his hand, wisps of smoke filled out, and a divination plate was condensed in front of him, and the one shown above was the result of this divination.

"A great omen! The troubled times will rise! The four kingdoms will be yesterday's yellow flowers!" Knowing that other people were not familiar with divination, Su Xiang did not sell it, and directly read out the results.

"Troubled times are coming?" A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and Chu Madge said calmly, "Who dares to mess with my Great Song Mountains and Rivers?"

Shaking his head, Su Xiang sighed and said: "Or Dajin, or Mongolia, or Nanban, as well as the Western countries, the remnants of Western Xia, Western Liao, Tubo and other countries are also in the wilderness, in the world, there are more than hundreds of thousands of people who covet my Great Song Dynasty, and how can we know where this chaos started?"

"Isn't it...... The Trickery Sect reappeared?" Suddenly, King Yang, who was twisting his long beard, said in a low voice.

"The Trick Sect?" Qin Xiang was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "King Yang really knows how to joke, since the death of the First Emperor and the fall of the Great Qin, the Trick Sect has already fallen apart, the inheritance has been cut off, and it is hundreds of years since my Great Song Dynasty, how can you think of this sect?"

King Yang was obviously extremely disgusted with Qin Xiang, so although he saw the other party asking at this moment, he just snorted coldly and ignored it at all.

Seeing this, Chu Yange said indifferently: "Since Su Xiang summoned me and others to come, I want to come and have a countermeasure?"

"What countermeasures are discussed, the only way to do it is to be vigilant," Su Xiang smiled slightly bitterly and replied, "Now that there has been no war in our four countries for many years, and I don't know if the swords and soldiers are rusty, I want to ask the three kings to reorganize their soldiers and horses after they go back, just in case." ”

"This is a natural ......" King Yue bowed slightly, and was about to answer, but his face suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly raised his head and looked up.

Not only him, but also the four of King Chu, King Yang, Su Xiang, and Qin Xiang also looked up at the sky at the same time.

A moment ago, the sky above Hangzhou was still pitch black, the dark clouds were heavy, and there was no starlight, but at this moment, the night was suddenly as bright as day, and twenty-four meteorites burning with red flames pierced the night sky, dragging out brilliant starfire smoke traces.

Under the gaze of Chu Yangge and the others, the twenty-four meteorites fell rapidly from the east, and then were pulled by an invisible force in the middle of the sky, and they scattered and flew out towards all parts of China.

Looking at the twenty-four meteorites in the sky with different brilliance, illuminating the entire night dome, Su Xiang muttered to himself: "The sky has changed...... What a bad omen!"
