Gao Ming listened quietly for a while, and understood the reason for this.

It turned out that her cousin was born with poor talent, and he only had one spiritual vein, and he couldn't do martial arts, he couldn't refine qi, he couldn't refine his body, and he couldn't learn talismans. Now, her aunt was going to let his cousin inherit everything in the family, but his cousin's uncles and uncles used the ancestral rules as an excuse to say that they had to pass the test to be eligible to inherit the family business, otherwise they had to choose one of the uncles as the heir.

Gao Ming listened to Daqi and said: "How can there be such a truth in this world! It has always been the father's death and the son's succession, where is the turn of the uncles to inherit, these uncles are too domineering." ”

"Not really. The woman was visibly overjoyed to hear him, "That's what my aunt said. But she was weak, and finally had to agree to let my cousin test it in a few days. ”

"So you're going to suck my spiritual power, and then pass it on to your brother?" Gao Ming thought of Shen Xiu as he spoke, and he suddenly faintly felt that Shen Xiu didn't send him over for his cultivation. I'm afraid it's more likely that he took a fancy to the purity of his spiritual power, so he sent him over to this woman to suck. Thinking of this, his face suddenly sank, but in the dark, no one could see it.

"You think I'm willing. The woman pinched him lightly, "Isn't there no way? My aunt has regarded me as her own daughter since she was a child, and now that she has such a big difficulty, can I not help her?" Hey, but my younger brother has been lazy since he was a child, and he has not been able to cultivate well, even if I send him these pure spiritual powers in the past, I don't know if he can pass the test of those uncles and ancestors that day. As soon as she said this, she couldn't help frowning and worrying. Her younger brother knows the roots, and the swordsmanship, spells, and talismans are all extremely ordinary. Even if you suddenly have profound spiritual power, that level is not so easy to pass. If he had one-tenth of the ability given by the king of the family, he wouldn't have to make such a move.

Hearing what the other party said, Gao Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Isn't there any other trick? For example, find someone to test for your brother." "His world is from childhood to adulthood, and some people in the class have started cheating since he was a child, and some methods are not new.

"Looking for someone to replace?" said the woman in surprise, "What kind of substitution?"

Gao Ming remembered a kind of exercise he had once come into contact with, called "Transfiguration", which could greatly change a person's appearance when practiced to the depths. He had already integrated the entire body refining technique now, and after a little thought, he knew the principle of this "shape-shifting technique", and he immediately knew how to use spiritual power to transform his body. Thinking of this, he spoke: "I know a kind of exercise, called 'Transfiguration Technique', which can be transformed into your brother's appearance, but the face is not easy to make. ”

"Will you 'transfigulate'?" the woman was overjoyed, "show me the one quickly, and if it does, I'll get you a fake face." At this point, she called out to the outside of the house: "Xiaocui, you come in and light the candles." ”

The two maidservants had been standing outside the door, and when they heard the woman's command, they hurriedly came in again and lit the candles. Gao Ming looked fixedly, and the two of them let out an exclamation from their mouths at the same time: "Why are you!"

This woman is none other than Han Yan whom Gao Ming met at Hongdu Academy that day!

Han Yan looked at Gao Ming's face, full of doubts: "When I saw you that day, you weren't a monk, why is it that after this little time, your spiritual power is so pure and strong?"

Gao Ming thought that he couldn't say that his body was transformed by programmers from another world, so he could only spread his hands again: "I guess I am the genius of the legendary genius." ”

"Genius, you big-headed ghost!" Han Yan was amused by him and giggled, "You genius didn't be robbed of the spirit fruit that day, right?"

Gao Ming had already been not entangled in the matter of Han Yan digging a pit for him that day, and it was all about all these mistakes that made him now: "How can your little trick be rare to live in this genius!"

While the two were talking and laughing, the two maidservants had already brought warm water for the two to wash their faces and wipe them, and they didn't mean that they were naked at all. This embarrassed Gao Ming, who had never experienced this kind of battle, after all, he was from another world in his bones. When he saw Han Yan, who had a natural expression, looking at him with a somewhat embarrassed look, he no longer insisted. Do as the locals do, just think these are NPCs in that game.

The two maids were busy for a while, and then withdrew. Gao Ming came to the bed, closed his eyes a little and recalled the previous accumulations in his heart, just watching him silently use his spiritual power, and his whole body suddenly made a sound of "crackling" like stir-fried beans, and in a blink of an eye, his figure had changed.

Han Yan saw him like this, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and her hands couldn't help but applaud: "Your 'Transfiguration Technique' is so powerful! I just don't know if you can become my cousin?"

"Average body shape is fine. Gao Ming looked up and down at his results, and he was very satisfied. He was not satisfied with the effect of this transformation, but because he knew that his previous accumulation and understanding seemed to be extremely correct. He replied: "As long as your brother's figure is not so special." ”

"I'm a little shorter than you, a little fatter than you, basically I guess it's okay. Han Yan had already gotten out of bed, looked around him, and was amazed, "By the way, which aspect of swordsmanship, spells, and talismans are you good at?"

Gao Mingxin said that I am very skilled in these three things, but he is not the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight, thinking that that day at least Wang Tianci, Shen Xiu Zhangbu and others knew that his swordsmanship was extraordinary, so he said: "Swordsmanship, my swordsmanship is first-class, that day Zhang Bu was guided by me to defeat Wang Tianci." ”

When he mentioned the name Wang Tianci, he saw Han Yan's beautiful face slightly darkened, and he knew the other party's affection for Wang Tianci in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel slightly sour. It's just that he has always been open-minded, but he also understands it very well, this sour taste comes and goes quickly, and he reached out and patted the other party's shoulder gently.

Han Yan snuggled into his arms, and said faintly after half a ring: "In that case, I'll go tell my aunt to see if she agrees to do this." You continue to cultivate here, and I'll ask Xiao Cui and the others to bring you some more yacon. With that, she left Gao Ming's embrace and drifted away like that.

When the two of them were talking in a private voice just now, Gao Ming already knew that the other party's name was Han Yan, but he didn't know that the other party's aunt was Jia Zhi, the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty! And the cousin in Han Yan's mouth was the emperor Fu Mi who Jia Zhi wanted to make him the new crown prince! He didn't know that he was in the Great Jin Palace at this time! At this time, he didn't expect that he was about to be involved in a major historical event that would go down in history, and he just continued to indulge in his own cultivation.

Seeing Han Yan's graceful back leaving, Gao Ming suddenly remembered that he didn't know the other party's name, and couldn't help patting his head in annoyance. But when the maid named Xiaocui brought the yacon fruit, he cleaned up his mood again and concentrated on cultivating. At this time, the spiritual power in his qi sea was almost completely crystallized, like pieces of snowflakes, piled up in a corner of the qi sea, only occupying a small part of the qi sea, which was completely different from the qi sea that was almost overflowing before Han Yan absorbed his spiritual power.

Gao Ming suddenly had a thought, what would he do after he finished cultivating?

Going back to being a handyman at Hongdu Academy? The regulations of the Great Jin Dynasty are very clear, and the monks are not allowed to do that kind of work.

The thought only bothered him for a moment, and then he forgot about it again. His philosophy has always been to do the immediate things well first, and don't think too much about things that are too long-term.

Han Yan had been gone for an hour or two before she returned, and at the same time, behind her was Yin Huangmen, who had brought him in.

"Gao Ming, my aunt asked me to take you there. Han Yan spoke, "However, there is one thing I have to make clear to you. ”

"You say. "With outsiders on the side, it's not easy for Gao Ming to walk up.

"My name is Han Yan, my father is Han Shou, the Ministry of Rites, and my aunt is the Empress of the Great Jin!"

"What!" Han Yan's ears were really like a shocking shock when he heard Gao Ming's words, "You say it again?"

"This is the Great Inner Palace, and my aunt is the queen of our Great Jin. ”

"Ahem," Yin Huangmen coughed dryly at this time and said, "Your name is Gao Ming, right, I'll teach you some etiquette for meeting Her Royal Highness the Queen, and you can't make the slightest mistake when you get to the queen in a while, otherwise you and I will press the board lightly." ”

Gao Ming mechanically followed Yin Huangmen to learn that set of complicated etiquette, with the strength of his current divine thoughts, everything is unforgettable, but it also made Yin Huangmen amazed.

After tossing for most of the hour, Yin Huangmen felt that he had no problem with these etiquettes, and several of them were led by Yin Huangmen, and went up the stairs again, out of the underground palace, Gao Ming found that they appeared in the imperial garden.

Along the way, everyone was quiet and did not speak. Gao Ming seems to be calm, but his heart is surging. Even in that online game, the Queen's NPC is an existence that is difficult for players to access. He was in Shangluo every day, and although he was not a monk before, he also knew what major things had happened over the years, especially the abolition of the crown prince.

Most of the people in Shangluo are sympathetic to the abolished crown prince Fu Yu, and the reputation of Empress Jia Zhi has always been not very good in the mouths of Shangluo and even the people of Dajin.

After the death of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, it was originally arranged for Yang Jun, the father of the Empress Dowager Yang Qiong, and Emperor Fuliang, the king of Runan, to jointly assist the government. Yang Jun is a member of the Yang family of Hongnong, and the family of the princess has been luxurious for generations. It's just that Yang Jun was extremely greedy for power, and took advantage of the fact that Emperor Wu of Jin was seriously ill and couldn't take care of things, and the king of Runan was still on the way from Runan to Shangluo, so he asked Ji to lend the edict from the Zhongshu supervisor and not return it. Then he asked people to redraft a new edict, appointing Yang Jun as the chief lieutenant, the prince and the prince, supervising the Chinese and foreign military, and leading the servants to write the same thing. So the power was held alone. After the death of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, he forced away Emperor Fuliang, the respected king of Runan, who hurried to Beijing, to exclude dissidents and install cronies, and for a while, the power was monstrous.

Queen Jia Zhi had a holiday with the Empress Dowager Yang Qiong, and when she saw that Yang Jun was unpopular, she designed to use Huang Fu Liang, the king of Runan, and Huang Fu Wei, the king of Chu, to kill Yang Jun, and then made a series of schemes to let Huang Fu Wei, the king of Chu, kill Huang Fu Liang, the king of Runan, and finally kill Huang Fu Wei, the king of Chu. This set of serial schemes was talked about in Shangluo at that time, while lamenting the ruthlessness of the queen Jia Zhi, and praising this Jia Zhi for her scheming, worthy of being the daughter of the late Taifu Jia Chong.

Gao Ming has also heard all kinds of legends about Empress Jia Zhi, in addition to the above serial scheme that is most talked about by the people of Shangluo, everyone says that Empress Jia Zhi is black and ugly, and extremely jealous, except for himself, he will hardly let the current emperor and Huangfu touch any other concubines. The mother of the deposed crown prince Huang Fu Yu was married to the side room before Empress Jia Zhi married Huang Fu Xin, who had just become the crown prince at that time.

It was nighttime, and a crescent moon hung obliquely in the air, emitting a bleak light. The palace not far away is majestic and magnificent, with halberds in hand around it, and the body is wrapped in fine talismans and armor, and the tiger in the palace is in three or five rows, patrolling constantly. These tiger ben in the hall are all cultivators from good families, at least sixth-grade martial arts monks, with those armor, ordinary fifth-grade monks are no match for a tiger in the hall.

Gao Ming noticed that he was dressed as a eunuch, and under the guidance of Yin Huangmen, he passed by those tigers without danger and arrived at the palace where the queen was.

"Weichen Yin big eyes knock on the queen mother!" Yin Huangmen bowed down and shouted at the figure behind the embroidered flying phoenix screen after entering.

Seeing that Gao Ming was stunned, Han Yan kicked him right behind and whispered, "Hurry up and bow down." ”

Gao Ming also bowed down and bowed down according to the Yin Huangmen sect and said: "Cao Ming Gao Ming knocks on the queen!"

"Aunt!" Han Yan trotted over with a smile, walked straight behind the screen, and shook Empress Jia's arm, "I brought it to you, you can take care of it in a while, he has the ability." ”

"Flatten. Empress Jia Zhi's majestic voice came from behind the screen.

Seeing that he waved his hand, the palace maid standing beside him immediately stepped forward to remove the screen, and Gao Ming, who was getting up, peeked over, and happened to meet the eyes of Queen Jia Zhi.

Queen Jia Zhi's appearance is completely different from the legends in the outside world. The skin is fair, the phoenix eyes are thin, the face is like a full moon, the demeanor is graceful, and the wide sleeves and long coat in the palace dress are gorgeous and abnormal, and they are very beautiful. There was also a young man sitting next to Empress Jia, with a chubby body and a round face, who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

"This grass people are so bold. Empress Jia was unhappy in her heart, but she said lightly, "I heard Yan'er say that you are not only proficient in the 'Transfiguration Technique', but also quite high in swordsmanship?"

"Yes, Queen. Gao Ming's etiquette at this time was also decent, which made Yin Dayan on the side breathe a sigh of relief.

"You first change into the appearance of Mi'er next to me. Empress Jia's voice was cold and abnormal, without any emotion.

"Yes!"

Gao Ming knew that this little fat man was the cousin in Han Yan's mouth. He was not nervous at all at this time, but looked at Huangfu Mi and Empress Jia Zhi with great interest. In his opinion, the experience was really wonderful and interesting. He has always been cautious, but when he is in an environment beyond his control, he is very single. Just look at him after looking up and down Huangfu Mi twice, he silently used his spiritual power again, and his whole body crackled for a while, and in less than a moment, when everyone looked at it, they found that Gao Ming had changed into exactly the same appearance as Huangfu Mi.

"It's fun, it's fun!" Huangfu Mi clapped his face excitedly when he saw this scene, "Queen Mother, I also want to learn this trick." ”

Empress Jia Zhi looked at Huangfu Mi with pity on her face and said: "This exercise is really profound, if you don't learn it well, not only will it be extremely painful when you move the exercises, but it will also cause harm to your body, which is really not the exercise that my son wants to learn." ”

Huangfu Mi's mouth was deflated after hearing this, and his fat hand pointed at Gao Ming: "Then why does this person look so easy." ”

Gao Ming's heart Dao Najia has seen people as a result, and this "Transfiguration Technique" requires the cultivator to control every muscle and bone in the whole body extremely finely, and only when he cultivates to the depths can he change at will like Gao Ming. At that moment, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to Your Highness, the grass people have been cultivating this 'Transfiguration Technique' for many years before they can be so proficient. This exercise is just like Her Royal Highness the Queen said, when I first cultivated, there was no place in my body that was not painful. This kind of exercise is really not suitable for His Highness's golden body. ”

Na Jia Hou was first annoyed that he spoke without permission, and after listening to him, she said in her heart: This young man is clever, but he doesn't understand etiquette at all.

Seeing that she groaned slightly, she said to Han Yan again: "Yan'er, you used to show him a piece of our Huangfu family's swordsmanship, remember not to use the energy of the talisman on the sword." ”

"Obey, my queen's aunt!" Han Yan smiled and took a long sword from the hand of the attendant next to her, and pulled out the sword with a "choking" sound. Just look at the blade of this sword like autumn frost, and the back is covered with delicate and gorgeous and unusual talismans, like pieces of patterns, and the blade of the sword is shining with blue light.

"Look at it. Han Yan smiled at Gao Ming, and the long sword first made a salute in her hand, matching her tall and charming figure, which was pleasing to the eye.

Suddenly, Han Yan's wrist flicked, and a sword was released, and the sword qi spread out as if it were substance. Han Yan and Wang Tianci Zhang Bu were completely different from each other this time. Those two were purely swordsmanship, and they didn't use spiritual power. And Han Yan mixed the spiritual power with the sword moves this time, and saw that the golden light between the sword shadows was like a starry sky, all over the period, rushing and Xu Ying, gathering but not dispersing, completely covering Han Yan's body behind the seemingly endless sword rays.

"This trick is called 'Yangguan Three Stacks'. Han Yan explained softly to Gao Ming while dancing the sword, "Three moves in a row, continuously, one move superimposed on the other, so that the enemy can't resist. ”

Gao Ming smiled and watched Han Yan's dance, Han Yan's style of "Yangguan Three Stacks" seemed to be amazing, but in Gao Ming's eyes, there were loopholes everywhere. The sword between the sword shadows is good-looking, but it is too thin. The connection between one move and one move is not strong enough, and the meaning of stagnation remains.

After Han Yan finished using the "Yangguan Three Stacks", he put away his long sword and asked Gao Ming, "My genius, have you seen it?" As long as you can use the momentum of the move I just made, then you can completely pass the level. ”

Gao Ming smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to ask for the sword in Han Yan's hand, and flicked his left index finger on the spine of the sword, and a sound like a dragon roaring and a tiger's roar suddenly echoed in this palace.

"Good sword!" Gao Ming exclaimed from within, not to mention the intricacy of the talisman on it, the material of the sword alone is already rare in the world, "'Yangguan Three Stacks' is not like you. ”

Gao Ming's tone was full of confidence and naturalness when he said this, and before Han Yan's anger was born, he couldn't help but feel that Gao Ming's words were taken for granted.

She snorted softly, and her figure floated to the periphery, her beautiful eyes full of color, and she watched the clever movements with all her heart.

"See clearly!" Gao Ming said, but he was not slow in his hand, and secretly carried out his spiritual power, and the sword seemed to turn into a dragon in the air, spitting out a sword light like a substance from his mouth. One move did not fall, and one move rose again. The sword light was layered on top of each other, like a mountain of golden light and shadow, pressing it over, making people seem to be out of breath.

"It's a good move, 'Yangguan Three Stacks'. When Queen Jia Zhi saw Gao Ming's move, she couldn't help but cheer, "I didn't expect to see the true power of this move again today!"

She was very grateful to Shen Xiu in her heart at this time, and at the critical moment, it was really timely to send such a person to her. As long as she can successfully pass the Zongzheng test, as long as she can make Huangfu Mi officially become the crown prince, she has nothing else to ask for.
