Chapter 2: Meet
There are not many empires that can be called big days, and the Cleansing Ceremony is one of them, because this time is about the future rise and fall of an empire.
Lin Tianxing stood in front of the mirror, and the palace maids surrounded him and helped him sort out his clothes. Looking at his face in the mirror, with a hint of sickness in the ruddy, he also thought a lot last night: If the marrow washing is successful, it will not work, because the blood of the royal family will be tainted by other things, and the road to the throne in the future will be bumpy;
We're really at the end of the road......
"Your Highness, it's ready," the palace maid next to him said, "Oh, then let's go" Lin Tianxuan came back to his senses: after all the palace maids got up and bowed, they separated to both sides and knelt down to greet the prince.
The ornate chariots had long been stopped, and the eight people stood on both sides separately, looking mighty.
Lin Tianxuan sat on the chariot, passed through the huge arches, and watched the place where he had lived since he was a child pass by quickly, and his heart actually gained some peace, and in front of him was the Lin Family Heavenly Palace......
The rapid pace suddenly stopped, and a huge arch that was completely different from the previous one appeared in front of Lin Tianxuan's eyes, and it was completely impossible to see what it was like from the outside, which seemed out of place with the scenery next to him. It's hard to imagine that there is such an incredible place in a palace.
The guards stood at the door and rushed forward directly after a slight pause! The speed made Lin Tianxuan close his eyes.
A strong sense of weightlessness came, and Lin Tianxuan clutched the handrail next to him tightly, and his fingers turned white. After a split second, the feeling disappeared.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that there were no longer all red walls and yellow tiles in front of me, but countless magnificent high-rise palaces! What was even more shocking was that these temples were all supported by the thin clouds below and floated in the air, and the stepped platform became the main road, connecting the towers in the air everywhere.
A faint purple color appeared in the sky, and the sunlight sprinkled on it, adding holiness and nobility to the temple.
I don't know how many years ago, the Lin family established the Chess Star Empire, and established the Lin Family Heavenly Palace in the depths of the palace, cultivating countless geniuses and demons and Lin family masters, and for a while the Lin family's prestige reached its peak on the mainland, although the Lin family was still one of the top cultivation families in the Vortex Heart Continent for many years.
Lin Tianxing was once proud of this......
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" The guard next to him reminded him: "The second prince and the fifth prince are here" Lin Tianxuan came back to his senses, and looked at it, and the two young men stood in front of him as if they had been waiting for him here for a long time.
One was wearing a black robe with a somewhat gloomy face, and the other was dressed in bright colors and looked at Lin Tianxuan with a smile on his face. "It's the second brother and the fifth brother," Lin Tianxuan greeted embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, the imperial brother just ......", and walked down from the chariot as he spoke.
"Okay, there's no need to say it anymore" The black-robed man interrupted: "The ceremony is about to start, it's better for the imperial brother to prepare quickly" After a pause, he said: "The imperial brother waits for the end of the ceremony, and it's not too late to look at the scenery above", Lin Tianxuan had no choice but to purse his lips and stop talking.
In an instant, the atmosphere froze to the extreme.
"Okay, fifth brother" Lin Xiao sneaked out to break the deadlock, and then turned his head to Lin Tianxuan and said: "Brother Huang, it's not too early to see this time, the fifth brother is also talking like this for the sake of the overall situation, otherwise once it is late, he will make his father unhappy" The black-robed young man snorted coldly when he heard this, but he stopped talking, and said secretly in his heart: "Look at the end of today's ceremony, see that you are still angry, a waste prince hums ......"
Lin Tianxuan and Lin Xiao walked behind, and Lin Tianxuan said: "Brother Huang was distracted just now, sorry I didn't notice that you guys have come." "Where is the imperial brother", Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said: "We didn't take it to heart, the fifth brother is this character, I hope the imperial brother doesn't take it to heart" Lin Tianxuan also responded with a smile.
Lin Xiao said: "This time the seventh brother is also out of the customs, let's get together after the ceremony, and also celebrate the eldest brother", "My eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, but is the seventh brother also out of the customs, it's time to get together if you haven't seen you for a long time, don't let the feelings be alienated" Lin Tianxuan said, the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, looking intimate.
The two walked forward talking and laughing, and after a while, they came to a huge stone unicorn, which looked into the distance, as if watching over this piece of heaven and earth. Looking at this stone unicorn that was several people tall, everyone's eyes showed a pious look, and the three of them folded their hands and bowed slightly. And next to Shi Qilin, two people were standing watching them.
A middle-aged strong man looked at them with a smile on his face and said respectfully: "I am ordered to wait for the princes here" Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have been in retreat in the Chess Star Tower for so long recently, and my strength should have improved by leaps and bounds."
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said: "The second prince is laughing, how can the strength be said to be progressive, as long as there is a little bit of progress, then I will be grateful" Lin Xiao said: "Uncle Zhong is still so modest, I think it won't take long for your strength to sit on the first seat of Xingtang" "Hey, then thank you for the second prince's good words" Uncle Zhong suddenly smiled brightly, and hurriedly offered his hand.
Lin Tianxin had the heart to ask what was the Chess Star Tower and what was the Xingtang, which seemed very unfamiliar to a person who couldn't even enter the threshold of cultivation.
"Hmph, I don't know how to be ashamed of such a big person" An old man standing next to the voice said disdainfully, Lin Xiaoqian hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for a long time recently, how is the old man doing recently?"
"Don't bother with it, you still care about the old immortal body behind you" Uncle Li said unappreciatively, "Li Zhenquan, I think you are tired and crooked" Uncle Zhong said: "Dare to talk to the second prince like this", Uncle Li sneered: "You wolf-hearted thing, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, you started to discuss the first issue of Qixingtang, is this something you should discuss, is it difficult for a group of rebellious ministers and thieves to rebel?"
Uncle Zhong's face was red when he was said, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. It is true that the issue of the first seat of Xingtang is not qualified for them to discuss, and it is indeed a little carried away when he speaks just now.
The fifth prince, Lin Feng, agreed: "Uncle Li is right, such a blatant rebellious thing to say, where to put the imperial brother?" Uncle Li pouted and said: "You are not a good thing, do you think no one knows what you have in your heart?" Li Feng had no choice but to snort coldly, staring at Uncle Li fiercely and no longer speaking.
Lin Xiaoqian hurriedly apologized to Lin Tianqian and said: "I'm sorry Brother Huang, my brother didn't do it unintentionally, I hope don't mind" Uncle Zhong also said: "Yes, yes, I am a reckless man who speaks more straightforwardly, and I hope His Royal Highness will atone for his sins", Lin Tianqian felt that Uncle Li seemed to be making a little fuss and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart, it's all my family making a joke."
Uncle Zhong and Lin Xiaoqian looked at each other and smiled, as if they had expected this to be the case, and the angry Uncle Li stomped his feet, but since the prince said so, he couldn't help it, so he had to grit his teeth and look at them. "It's not early, let's go in quickly" Uncle Zhong didn't want to talk more in this topic, so he quickly changed the topic, and took the lead in front at random.
Li Zhenquan has been loyal to the royal family for many years, this prince also grew up with him, and he has also taught him to be sensible and humble and courteous since he was a child...... But directly let the prince fall into the deep valley.
The prince is weak, and if this marrow cleansing still fails, then the prince's position will eventually be lost, and even his life will be lost.
Thinking of this, Uncle Li approached Lin Tianxuan and whispered: "Your Highness, you will walk with me at the end later, I have something to tell you, and I usually have less contact with them, I'm afraid of ......" Lin Tianxuan said: "Uncle Li rest assured" paused and said: "We are like brothers, they won't harm me, Uncle Li don't worry about me"
Uncle Li sighed in his heart, this prince is too easy to trust others if he is good at everything, doesn't he still understand that the current situation is very unfavorable to him? Just as he wanted to speak, a bell came out from the front, and it resounded through the sky, and everyone couldn't help but take two steps back to dissolve this attached sound wave, Lin Tianxuan's face turned pale when he heard it, and his legs trembled like sifting chaff, if Uncle Li hadn't helped him in time, he might have collapsed directly.
The palace bell was struck.
