Chapter 230: Competition
But I saw several Xuanduguan elders and disciples flying up, starting from the Daoist platform, and rushing towards the mountain.
There is no high mountain near the capital, and the mountain on which the Xuandu Temple rests is nothing more than a hundred zhang, and the momentum is gentle. From the asking platform to the top of the mountain, there is a road passing, and there is a square gate every half a mile, and the top point is the stargazing platform.
The stargazing platform is a place where the stars are observed in the past dynasties, and Emperor Taizu has asked the previous generation to observe the lord several times, and it is here that he made a decision about the world.
In normal times, the Xuandu Temple will set up a barrier around it and not let others watch. But today, the barriers have been removed, and the people on the periphery can clearly see the road leading to the observatory.
The road from the Dao Terrace to the Stargazing Platform is not long, and it is only three miles away, with a total of five square gates.
Those Xuanduguan elders and disciples, one or many, stopped at the Wudaofang Gate respectively.
"Holy." The elder in front of the emperor said, "With this five gates as the limit, there are five levels in total, and whoever can win will be the master." ”
The emperor stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay! This is a dignified competition, the winner succeeds, and the loser has no exception. After thinking about it, he said, "Since I want to compete, then I will add a piece of color." ”
He glanced to the side, and an inner supervisor came out with a color box.
The color box was opened, and there was an object resting on the yellow silk, which looked like a piece of jade, with a lustrous color and a faint white gas, as if surrounded by clouds and mist.
Mingwei saw it, and her pupils shrank.
Epiphany!
When this thing is put aside, it is like a piece of jade, and when it is stimulated, it blooms like a flower, hence the name epiphany.
The emperor sighed: "The Void Immortal has been with Taizu for many years, and he still thinks about me when he sits down. This is the epiphany born of his sitting, and the winner gets it, which can make him feel very gratified. ”
Seeing this, the Yuyang Immortal Elder cried excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for letting Xiaodao see the relics of the teacher......"
He was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a long face, a straight nose and a square mouth, and a tall figure.
Standing with Xuan Fei, although not as delicate and elegant as the other party, he has another dignified temperament. Let the public choose, I'm afraid it will still favor him. Because Xuan Fei's appearance is too delicate, he always feels that he has a hint of romance, which is not as serious as him.
Ming Wei's eyes sank slightly, thinking about what Ning Xiu said earlier.
"The epiphany flower reserved by the Xuandu Temple has one in the hand of the saint. That one was condensed by the sitting of the previous generation of contemplators, and it should also be the most effective one. ”
"Actually in the palace forbidden?" Ming Wei was surprised, "Isn't that a chance?" ”
Ning Xiu shook his head: "On the contrary, this one has the best chance." Because the Holy One has decided to take this epiphany flower as a reward. ”
Mingwei wrinkled his eyebrows and was silent.
Ning Xiu looked at her expression and asked, "Are you thinking that no matter which of them wins, it has nothing to do with you, so it's not good to interfere?" ”
"Yes." Mingwei said bluntly, "There is no enmity between us and Xuan Fei, but the time when we intersected, it was obviously not very pleasant for both parties." I don't know Yuyang at all. No matter which of them wins, it is impossible for them to hand over the relics of their ancestors to me. ”
Ning Xiu was obviously prepared, and as soon as she finished speaking, she said, "So, junior brother has made some arrangements......
Ming Wei retracted his thoughts, listened to the emperor's kind words and comforted a few words, turned his head and asked Pei Guifei with a smile: "Aifei, why don't you add a colorful head?" ”
The emperor wanted to crown Pei Guifei as the queen for a long time, but unfortunately he couldn't get his way. Out of a certain psychology, as long as she went out, the emperor would take the concubine with her, which seemed to show her special status.
Pei Guifei thought for a while and said: "Previously, His Majesty gave his concubine a piece of tranquilizing wood, this thing came from overseas, it has a strange fragrance and calms the nerves, it is suitable for the cultivation of immortals, it is better to add color to this thing." ”
The emperor smiled: "Very good. ”
After that, he saw Yang Shu not far below looking over here, so he asked, "What is Shu'er doing?" Isn't it greedy for your aunt's lottery? ”
On the side of the holy car, there are several princes.
The three adult princes sat together, and Yang Shu was next to them.
Hearing the emperor's words, Yang Shu got up to salute, and then said: "Your Majesty, this Anshen Wood, the minister has long wanted to ask Niangniang for it, but he just thought that Niangniang might need it, so he didn't dare to speak." Now the mother wants to use this thing as a color head and send it to someone else's hands, and the minister ......"
His unwilling look made the emperor smile: "I want you not to say it earlier, now that the concubine has already said that it is a lottery, how can I give it to you again?" ”
Yang Shu still looked unhappy, looked at the piece of calm wood and said: "Since it is a lottery head, those who win can get it, right?" Do you know a little about the occult arts, why don't you allow me to go down and compare with them? If I win, I don't want to be the master, so I want this piece of calming wood. ”
The emperor smiled dumbly: "Shu'er, this is a major event in the Xuandu Temple, don't mess around." ”
When Yang Shu spoke up, the crown prince Jiang Sheng secretly sneered, on this occasion, he has to be in the limelight, and he is really the same as his restless mother!
Jiang Cheng, the king of letters, leaned over and whispered, "Big brother, although An Shenmu is rare, it is of little use to him. What do you think he's trying to do? ”
Jiang Sheng frowned.
Yuyang is very good at camping, and has found opportunities to curry favor with him several times, and he has also acquiesced in supporting Yuyang as the successor of the master. Could it be that this kid heard about it and wanted to do something bad about him?
After all, he had the Imperial City Division in his hands, and it was not surprising to know that Yuyang was currying favor with him.
Jiang Cheng said again: "He went on a business trip before, and when he returned to Beijing, he was much more restrained, and it was not like his recent style to appear on such an occasion." ”
Jiang Sheng listened, turned his head to look at Pei Guifei, and sure enough, seeing that she wanted to answer, he stood up: "Father!" ”
The Emperor looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Sheng said: "Erchen heard that the immortals of the Xuandu Temple are not only proficient in occult arts, but also proficient in scriptures and righteousness, and their martial arts are profound. ”
Speaking of the back, he looked at the elder in charge.
The elder hurriedly replied, "Naturally. These five levels include scripture, martial arts, and machine changes. ”
Jiang Sheng nodded with a smile, turned back and continued: "In this way, this battle between the masters is an excellent opportunity, it would be a pity to just ask the two immortal elders to compete!" ”
The emperor said, "You don't want to compete too, do you?" ”
Jiang Sheng smiled: "How come? Erchen just thinks that fewer people are better than more people, such a good opportunity, it is better to let everyone who wants to participate, wouldn't it be better? ”
Yang Shu suppressed the surprise in his heart. Knowing that the emperor took out the epiphany flower as a lottery head, he thought of moving Pei Guifei, but he didn't expect the prince to stand up.
He knew that the prince didn't like him very much, but why should he help him?
The emperor thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is too child's play......
Yang Shu said: "Your Majesty, just now they said that those with profound mana and proficient in scriptures and righteousness are the masters, so they don't necessarily have them, right?" Xuandu Guan is not only their two disciples, since the Void Immortal Elder did not leave a last word, why can't he give others a chance? ”
