The Himalayan vulture Alan Woo has been hovering on the top of Dingyuan Mountain in recent days, of course it knows where the snow lotus is, Qingming and Dusheng have picked a lot, and they are wrapped in their robes and embraced, returning to Dingyuan Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Green Lantern Immortal Master had already come out of the cellar and returned to the hall, and the three Immortal Masters meditated and practiced in the hall together.
Qing Ming counted the snow lotus he had obtained, and sorted out some of the best ones to give to the elders.
Qingcan Immortal Master laughed and said, "Haha! Ming'er, we have learned your filial piety! However, the three of us live on the top of the snowy mountain every day, and we often eat snow lotus. Ouch, I'm getting tired of it!"
Qingyan Immortal Master glanced at him and said with a smile: "What Senior Brother said this time is true, Ming'er, you bother to pick, you really have a heart!
Qing Ming grinned awkwardly and withdrew.
The voice of the Qingyan Immortal Master came from the air: "Ming'er, your giant eagle has a lot of background, you are good friends, it's very interesting!"
Qing Ming knew that the elders' far-sighted skills were perfect, and they all understood clearly what happened to him when he subdued the giant eagle Alan Woo, and immediately turned around and replied: "Yes!
When he returned to his residence, he gave all the snow lotus that he was going to give to the Chaofu Divine Doctor, plus the snow lotus that was originally going to be dedicated to the elders, and the divine doctor smiled happily and praised again and again: "Boutique! Definitely a boutique! Dingyuan Mountain Peak is really outstanding, these snow lotuses are full of aura, it is really a good product for strengthening the body and practicing to replenish qi!"
Chaofu Divine Doctor used Snow Lotus to refine medicinal pills and distributed them to Qing Ming and Du Sheng, and after they tried to take it, they all felt refreshed, and sincerely admired the exquisite alchemy skills of the Divine Doctor.
General Watari looked sincere and said with a smile: "The divine doctor is only high-spirited and pure, and it is a pity that he usually lives in seclusion!
Chao Fu showed a mysterious smile, shook his head and said: "The common people have their own blessings, who am I obsessed with?"
After speaking, his smile gradually faded, and instead revealed endless regret and despair, Qing Ming and Du Sheng saw this, and it was inconvenient to ask, and they didn't know where to start with comfort, and the three of them immediately fell silent.
After that, Qing Ming continued to breathe his luck in the ice and snow according to Chaofu's instructions. The three of them stayed until the next day, and after the Chaofu Divine Doctor checked the pulse in Qingming's body to ensure that nothing went wrong, the group said goodbye to the elders and returned to the bottom of the mountain.
Qing Ming rode the giant eagle Alan Woo, this time he came up to Dingyuan Mountain, not only exhausted the blood and toxins, but also got the ten years of internal strength of the Green Lantern Immortal Master, although he didn't know it, but he felt that his body was smoother, and he couldn't help but be radiant.
When the Chaofu Divine Doctor arrived at the mountainside, he said goodbye to Qingming and Dusheng, and chose the way to return to his seclusion.
General Watari rode forward, feeling more and more unable to keep up with Qing Ming's pace, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and from time to time he looked at the giant eagle hovering in the air and let out a knowing smile. He has been grateful for the kindness of King Qingzhe since he was young, and has been serving under King Qingzhe for many years. He still remembered that when he saw the newborn prince with empty eyes and lost his soul, he volunteered to embark on the long road of finding the prince's soul. Now, seeing the prince's outstanding achievements, he was of course overjoyed in his heart.
At this time, the royal city was very busy, and every household put up lanterns and prepared to welcome the new bronze king to succeed to the throne. Prime Minister Yunsheng led the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household to prepare for the enthronement ceremony in an orderly manner, and put the Bronze King's Palace, which had been ownerless for many years, in order. Princess Qinghui, who is in charge of the foreign affairs of the major subject countries, is busy distributing invitations to the envoys of various countries, King Qingyuan has stepped up the training of the troops participating in the ceremony, and the Qingzhe Royal Mansion is also very lively, Prince Qingming's dress, the banquet in the palace on the day of the ceremony, the servants are actively preparing.
The two Hechul brothers were now raising their eyebrows, and they walked with their heads held high in front of the other servants. Long Xing and Yang Yong were happy in their hearts, and it was understandable that they got carried away for a while.
The ceremony was held as scheduled.
On the same day, the three elders came to watch the ceremony, and the envoys from various countries gathered to congratulate them.
Qing Ming was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, embroidered with a yellow snow eagle pattern, and at this time, the costume designed by the Ministry of Rites according to the ancestral system was personally supervised and woven by Princess Qingzhe, and the Yuesheng sword worn on his waist was dazzling. Under the escort of King Qingyuan and King Qingzhe, Qingming rode a high-headed horse, followed by the escort team led by the two princes, and set off from the Qingzhe Palace, went to the collegial court, and accepted the worship of the hundred officials led by Prime Minister Yunsheng. Then the Prime Minister Yunsheng and the Ministry of Officials Shangshu Zhongquan, the Ministry of Household Shangshu Yunhui, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mingsu opened the way to lead the way, and Qingming was surrounded by everyone and stayed in the palace of the king.
After that, the army performed in a parade, and the momentum was magnificent, and Qingming feasted his eyes.
The guards in the palace were composed of elite soldiers selected by King Qingyuan and King Qingzhe from their respective descendants, and General Watsu served as the chief of the guard. The servants are mainly the original servants on duty in the palace, including many old servants who served the previous Qingyang King eighteen years ago, and they have been staying behind since then, taking care of this empty palace, as well as some personal attendants brought by Qingming from the Qingzhe Palace, and the two Hechuer brothers, Long Xing, and Yang Yong all lived in the palace with them.
In the afternoon, Qingming sat on the main hall of the palace and met with the envoys of various countries in turn.
The envoy of the Cuijin Kingdom is a bald old man, wide and fat, dressed in brocade clothes, wearing gold and silver, full of jewels, he smiled lovely, and greeted Qingming: "In the next Jinguo Zhenjin King special ambassador, white matter, congratulations to the king of the great country Qingming on his accession to the throne!
He presented a box inlaid with gems with both hands, Heqiu took it and opened it for Qing Ming to see, the box was full of gold and all kinds of gemstones, the Cuijin Country was really generous, although Qingming was not red-eyed, but he couldn't help but sigh a little, and said in his heart that he had never seen such a rich scene in the mansions of Qingzhe Wangfu and other major subject countries, and the wealth of the Cuijin Kingdom was really worthy of its reputation.
Before the ceremony, Princess Qinghui had conducted special training for Qing Ming, and talked about the national conditions of various countries and the information of the envoys, at the moment, Qing Ming fixed his mind, remembering that this envoy was the brother of the queen of the Zhenjin King of the Jin Kingdom, and said loudly: "Uncle Guo personally came to watch the ceremony, this king is not very grateful! Please thank the king of your country on behalf of this king! In the future, I will send a messenger to return the ceremony and thank you!"
The person who met next made Qing Ming shocked, it turned out to be no one else, it was the green robe guest who had mistakenly taken him hostage in Daopu Guangcheng in the world, and he was in a hurry to see it in the astonishment that day, but he was very impressed, Qing Ming knew that he took Yang Ling away later, when he was eager to ask him, he couldn't help but stand up from the throne tremblingly, and was about to speak, General Watari who was standing on the side immediately understood, and quickly pretended to cough, signaling him to be patient.
Qing Ming immediately came to his senses, looked around the hall, there were all high-ranking officials and envoys, and he really shouldn't ask about personal matters on such an occasion, so he sat back.
The Qing-robed guest pretended to have no knowledge of the previous events, and solemnly bowed according to diplomatic etiquette: "The envoy of the Deep Oxygen King of the Lower Flame Country, the patriarch of the Deep Nitrogen Clan is bright, see the Qingming King of the Great Subordinate Country!" He took out a gift box from the sleeve of his robe and presented it, after Qing Ming saw it, it turned out to be a high-grade blue soul refining stone, and he didn't ask about Yang Ling's matter at the moment, but just thanked him lightly. He motioned to General Dusheng to come over, and arranged for Dusheng with his ear, and be sure to keep Mingmingjun alone for a night talk.
The next envoy, thin and straight, with deep eye sockets, a slightly higher nose bridge, and faint blue light in his eyes, Qing Ming thought of the appearance of the Chaofu Divine Doctor, and felt that the facial features of the person who came were quite similar to it, this person had a fair complexion, not as dark as the Chaofu Divine Doctor, and he looked younger, and he guessed in his heart that the person who came must be the special envoy of the Mianshi Kingdom.
Sure enough, the man bowed loudly: "In the next Mianshi Kingdom, the envoy of the King of Luyuan, Prince Mianyin, meet King Qingming!"
As he spoke, he offered a pot of plants and introduced in a proud tone: "Please accept the gift prepared by King Qingming, this is the turtle back grass planted by King Luyuan in the imperial garden, this grass can prevent a hundred poisons, if it is placed in King Qingming's bedroom, within a radius of 100 meters, any snakes, insects, rats and ants and other poisonous things dare not approach, and this grass belongs to the treasure in the spirit grass, with soul energy, long-term coexistence, and it is of great benefit to people who practice soul alchemy!"
Some of the advanced soul refining masters in the hall all praised it, and Prime Minister Yun Sheng sighed: "The turtle back grass really lives up to its reputation, compared to the Yun Spirit Grass below, it is just a small thing!" General Watari also smiled and nodded.
Qing Ming looked curiously, only to see that the pot of grass had small branches and luxuriant leaves, each leaf was the size of a small turtle, and the leaves were covered with patterns like the back of a turtle, when Heqiu took the pot of grass and brought it to Qing Ming, he felt that the air he breathed was fresher, his eyes were clearer, and he said gratefully: "Please bring back my sincere thanks, thank you for the kindness of King Luyuan!"
The foreign envoys in the palace have seen them one by one, Qingming stood up, and was about to set up according to the procedures of the ceremony, inviting everyone to go to the banquet, but did not want to, Prince Mianyin did not retreat, but bowed down and bowed again, and said: "King Qingming, please wait for a while, and take advantage of the new king's enthronement to celebrate, put forward a reluctant request, and hope that King Qingming will be considerate and agree!"
Qing Ming said calmly: "Prince Mianyin doesn't have to be polite, just say it, this king should do his best!"
Prince Mianyin's face sank slightly, and he said in his sad tone: "My brother, Prince Mianchao, was sent to the great subject country on a business trip nineteen years ago, but disappeared for no reason, and since then there has been no news, and the search has been fruitless in Xia, all kinds of signs speculate that if he is alive, he should still be in the territory of the great subject country! Zaixia's ability is limited, and he dares to ask King Qingming to help find him! If he can find his brother, he is willing to pay any price to repay King Qingming!"
When Qing Ming heard this, he felt the true and deep brotherhood from his words, and his heart was moved, and he immediately agreed: "The prince is looking for a brother, the love is sincere and moving, this king should help, but he has been separated for many years, and there is no news, wait for me to send someone to investigate slowly, if there is news, I must tell you in time!"
He was busy talking, and he didn't notice that when he heard Prince Mianyin mention the Mian Dynasty, the Qingyuan, Qingzhe, Qinghui, and the older Zhong Quan in the palace all flashed a strange look on their faces, but they were only flashing and did not attract the attention of the people around them.
At the end of the conversation, Qing Ming invited everyone to the banquet. After the dinner, he asked General Watatsu to take him to the agreed place to meet Mingming-kun. They waited patiently until a full hour had passed since the time of the date, and they never saw Mingmingjun arrive, so they had to return to the palace in a huff, and the two looked at each other, and it was self-evident that Mingmingjun had deliberately released their pigeons.
Qing Mingxin said that Mingmingjun was unwilling to face himself alone, there must be something strange in it, and he was nervous and uneasy in his heart.
