Chapter 15: The Ascending Ceremony (3)
In the Luojing Exorcism Division, Wang Yang was standing in front of the bronze mirror, trying on a new official uniform.
The background color of the new official uniform is bright red, and the chest is embroidered with the pattern of red birds and auspicious clouds, also known as "red bird suit".
Legend has it that the Vermilion Bird holds the power of fire, covers its body with flames, and does not extinguish it all day long, and is an auspicious beast that drives away evil and avoids evil and protects peace. The Great Xia Exorcism Division therefore uses this as a totemic symbol.
Wang Yang liked this new set of clothes very much, and felt that its colors were both festive and eye-catching, which perfectly set off his handsomeness.
Although Cui Tianyou once said in a joking tone, "You look even darker in red."
But Wang Yang didn't take it to heart, and still wore it all day long with a smile on his face to show off everywhere.
Today, Wang Yang has become one of the second realm monks, and has been appointed as the eight-rank inspector of the Luojing Exorcism Division.
In the past years in Yishui County, he had always felt inferior to his cultivation talent.
However, since being sent by Gu Xu to Liangzhou City, Wang Yang found that the biggest factor that limited his cultivation speed in the past was not talent, but resources.
Except for a very small number of gifted and outstanding cultivators in this world, as well as a few individuals with congenital defects, most of the cultivators are actually concentrated on a relatively mediocre level.
It's just that some people, born in the family of dignitaries, have never lacked pills, they can cultivate whenever they want to cultivate, they can break through the realm if they want to, and they can sell the surplus pills to others at a high price.
However, an ordinary monk like Wang Yang needs to take risks to do tasks for the sake of the elixir. If there are not enough pills, the progress of cultivation will stagnate. In such a situation, if you forcibly cultivate, there is still a risk of going mad and turning into a ghost.
However, after arriving in Liangzhou, because Gu Xu confiscated a large number of pills and alchemy materials from the surrounding wealthy clans and sects, and recruited many alchemists to continuously produce new pills, Wang Yang never worried about the shortage of pills again.
As long as you work hard under Gu Xu and conscientiously complete your work, you can receive a certain amount of pills every month; If you make more contributions, you will be rewarded with additional generous rewards.
Wang Yang's cultivation, which had been stagnant for several months, suddenly began to advance by leaps and bounds, and soon after Gu Xu captured Luojing, he successfully stepped into the threshold of the second realm.
Not long ago, Gu Xu sent someone to find him and asked him if he wanted a noble idle job and enjoyed the rest of his life, or if he wanted to do something real.
Wang Yang chose the latter without hesitation.
He was once saved by Zheng Yu in the crisis of the "Nine Infants", and later heard and saw Chen Jisheng's side, influenced by his style of acting, and wanted to be a good official like the two adults from the bottom of his heart.
So he came to the Luo Jing Exorcism Division.
Under his command, there were more than a dozen newly recruited young officials. From them, Wang Yang seemed to be able to glimpse the shadow of his past.
Wang Yang likes to talk eloquently in front of this group of young officials, bragging about:
"My Majesty and I used to be colleagues and brothers."
"I used to mingle with Your Majesty in the Piaoxiang Building, talking and laughing."
"Your Majesty has never been able to drink me, and he often uses tea to pass it off as wine."
"Your Majesty's favorite food used to be the almond tofu in the Yamen Kitchen."
"You know what? The sentence I told you a few days ago, 'Those who enjoy the benefits of the world, let the troubles of the world, and those who live in the joy of the world, share the worries of the world", was actually said by His Majesty at the earliest, and is still hanging in the yamen of the Yishui County Exorcism Division. I hope you will take this to heart and be your motto."
「……」
Whenever these little officials listened attentively to his narration and looked at him with adoring eyes, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel a fluttering feeling in his heart. He secretly thought to himself, it turned out that an ordinary person like himself had a moment of being worshiped by others. It's an amazing feeling.
When Wang Yang tidied up his robe, fastened his belt, and walked into the main hall of the Yamen of the Exorcism Division, he unexpectedly found one among the many officials
Familiar figure.
It was a petite, pretty-looking girl, dressed in the same red robes as them, and carrying a huge machete on her back. Her black and bright hair was tied up high, and her fair and translucent face was like the petals of peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Compared with the past, her face is a little less youthful and childish, but it adds a bit of charm and charm.
It is like a budding flower bone, finally moistened by a spring rain, blooming with unprecedented brilliance.
This girl is Shi Xiaohan.
Wang Yang was quite surprised by her sudden appearance.
After today's ceremony, Gu Xu rewarded many meritorious heroes, and canonized Zhao Yan as the queen and Shi Xiaohan as the concubine.
However, what was unexpected was that after the canonization ceremony, the newly promoted concubine Niangniang actually changed into the official robe of the Exorcism Division, carried the huge machete, and ran out of the palace.
With doubts, Wang Yang stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Shi Da...... Concubine Niangniang."
Shi Xiaohan pursed her lips slightly, as if she was quite dissatisfied with his title, she said lightly, "In the Exorcism Division, don't call me a concubine, call me a position."
As she spoke, she took off a waist card from her body, shook it lightly in front of Wang Yang, and said in a firm tone, "Look clearly, I am now the captain of the Great Xia Exorcism Division, don't call it a mistake again."
"I've seen the Captain!" Hearing her words, Wang Yang saluted again.
Shi Xiaohan smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, with a light leap, she jumped onto the table next to her, and announced in a condescending voice, "Today, under the orders of Your Majesty, this official will lead you to deal with the ghost in the Gyeonggi area, the Snake Bone Woman. The snake bone woman is like an old woman, with two snakes wrapped around her body, a red snake in her left hand and a green snake in her right hand, and it will manipulate these two snakes to attack passers-by......
Shi Xiaohan loudly talked about the various characteristics of the "Snake Bone Woman" and the tactical plan to deal with it, and everyone present listened attentively, taking her words seriously in their minds.
Some people couldn't hold back the doubts in their hearts, and lowered their voices to discuss: "Didn't the emperor's concubines stay in the palace in the past? Why did the concubine of Great Xia not only come out to show her face, but also carried a machete on her back, and wanted to personally lead us to kill ghosts?"
As a monk at the peak of the Third Realm, Shi Xiaohan relied on his divine sense, which was more acute than ordinary people, and easily captured their stumbling discussions.
But instead of being angry, she raised her chin slightly, and a small sense of pride welled up in her heart. She thought: It seems that you people still don't know Gu Xu well enough, he is different from those pedantic emperors of the Great Qi Dynasty.
………
Shi Xiaohan clearly remembered the scene when she and Gu Xu shared the bed for the second time.
He embraced her from behind, his breath brushing over her most sensitive earlobe, causing her to breathe faster and her cheeks red.
He whispered in her ear, "Lady Heroine, from what I know of you, you are not willing to be a canary and spend the rest of your life in this oppressive palace. I know that you still have the ideal of slaying demons and demons and doing the right thing for heaven, and you still want to be a heroine who will go down in history."
When he heard these words, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart.
When she agreed to return to the palace with Gu Xu, she was actually mentally prepared to give up her dream of being a heroine and teach her husband and children with peace of mind - after all, in the past Great Qi Dynasty, the concubines had never had a precedent for running out of the palace.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu was willing to support her to continue her career as a heroine who slays demons.
"It's not very proper, is it......
"In Great Xia, my words are the rules. Look, isn't Zhao Yan still a female general in the army?"
"But I ......"
"Have you forgotten that you are the 'Demon God Body', even in the Upper Realm, it is an extremely rare physique. After I have researched a magic circle that can transform the Yin and Evil Qi into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on a large scale, you will become a cultivation wizard that has not been encountered in the Great Wilderness for thousands of years, and you may become more powerful than me."
"Big bad, don't lie to me."
"I've always been honest, when did I lie to you? Moreover, we will have to fight against Taishang Haotian in the future, and every powerful monk under our command will increase our chances of victory by one point. I don't have the luxury of locking a genius with the 'body of a demon god' in the palace and making her a resentful woman in the deep palace who has nothing to do. You know, I've always been picky......
Thinking of Gu Xu's appearance of eating tofu every day in the Yamen kitchen in the past in order to save money, Shi Xiaohan couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Gu Xu's words made Shi Xiaohan both moved and happy, and his heart was a little dazed for a while.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu, the big villain, took this opportunity to sneak attack her, turned her over, and made her lie on the bed like a cat stretching her waist, her delicate face full of blush buried in the pillow.
The long black hair was scattered like a waterfall, and the smooth and white back was faintly visible under the cover of the hair.
This shape made Shi Xiaohan extremely ashamed.
She suddenly felt that Gu Xu had just said those nice things in order to coax her, so as to persuade her to play these perverted things.
He's a big badass, a big big badass! I will only bully her in a different way all day long!
When Gu Xu hugged her slender and soft waist tightly from behind, Shi Xiaohan clutched the pillow tightly with both hands, thinking to himself.
…………
At noon the next day, when Xiao Han woke up in pain, she had an extra set of official robes on her pillow, a waist card of the captain of the Exorcism Division, and several pieces of paper densely filled with words, all of which were Gu Xu's thoughts and precautions on breaking through the fourth realm.
…………
And today, after the canonization ceremony, Shi Xiaohan experienced several months of ups and downs, tasted joys and sorrows, and finally felt the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth realm "Wangxiangtai".
So, as soon as the ceremony ended, she took off the gorgeous palace dress of the concubine, changed into the red official robe of the Exorcism Division, carried the heavy "Kunwu Knife", and came to the Yamen of the Luojing Exorcism Division, and met Wang Yang, Cui Tianyou and other old colleagues.
She wants to take the opportunity of killing the "Snake Bone Woman" to refine the "Kunwu Sword" into her natal magic weapon, and become a Fourth Realm monk who can fly with a weapon in one fell swoop.
Although her current cultivation has been left far behind by Gu Xu, she still has to work hard to make herself stronger in order to better help him in the future war between the two realms.
…………
Zichen Palace, Qianyun Palace.
Gu Xu wore twelve crowns on his head, dressed in Xuanyi and robes, and stood quietly in front of the bronze mirror.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and under the light of the candle flame, the jade beads hanging on the crown were brilliant.
Zhao Yan stood behind him and gently unfastened his belt.
It stands to reason that this set of crowned dragon gon is generally only worn during major ceremonies such as enthronement and sacrifice, and it is usually changed to a lighter regular dress.
But perhaps because Zhao Yan recently stayed alone in the Yanguo Mansion for a few nights, she was very jealous when she came back. She drove away all the maidservants, chamberlains, and even paper servants in the palace who tried to help Gu Xu change his clothes, and insisted that she, the queen mother, would complete the important task of helping Gu Xu change his clothes by herself.
However, Zhao Yan seemed to particularly like to watch Gu Xu wear this dress, not only did he move slowly when changing clothes, but he also kept looking for opportunities to sneak his abdominal muscles.
Gu Xu looked helpless about this: "Can you help me take off this hat first?"
One of the reasons why the emperor of the Great Wilderness wears a crown is that it can have a vigilant and normative effect on the emperor's words and deeds. Because the jade beads in front and back of the crown are easy to shake and make sounds, so that people should be dignified and steady no matter their movements when speaking, walking or even sitting.
If the range of action is too large, you will be slapped in the face by the jade bead; If you don't sit properly and tilt your head, your crown will slip off.
In this way, the wearer will gradually develop a majestic style with his head held high and his chest held high.
It can be said that Zhao Yan not let him take off the crown at this time, and he is engaging in all kinds of small actions, which is completely torturing him - Gu Xu feels that she must be taking revenge on him for leaving her alone in the Yanguo Mansion for a few nights.
"No," I saw Zhao Yan chuckle with a pair of charming fox eyes
Squinted slightly, "You look good wearing it."
As she spoke, she grabbed Gu Xu's arm and walked in the direction of the couch.
At this moment, Gu Xu's clothes were half untied, and the jade on the crown kept colliding, making a crisp "da-da" sound.
He finally realized what this woman wanted to do.
"Yan'er, wait!" He shouted, "You're pregnant now, you'd better not do that, it's not good for the baby—"
"—My Majesty, have you forgotten?" Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile, her eyes sparkling, as if she was drunk but not drunk, "In that pink album, even if we don't go that far, we have hundreds of ways to get close."
With that, she gently pushed Gu Xu down on the couch and straddled his waist.
Then she leaned down and propped her hands around his head.
Her long black hair hung down like a flowing waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance.
Her dragonfly kisses landed on his eyebrows, at the corners of his eyes, on his lips, on his Adam's apple, and on his chest......
Only to hear her delicate voice lingering in his ears:
"Husband, I miss you so much, I miss you every day......
