Chapter 456: Ancient Legends
Originally, as Meng Zhun, he was not qualified to meet the emperor.
However, considering that the weather has been so strange recently that even the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison could not explain it, the official of the royal palace decided to report it.
With several days of rain and no sign of stopping, the atmosphere in the palace was as lifeless as it is now.
There were dozens of arm-thick candles lit in the imperial study, the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and the kneeling in front of the dragon book case was the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, sweating profusely.
"What the hell is going on, why is it raining all over the Han?" the Emperor asked sharply.
The prison officer wiped a handful of sweat and said, "It's not just Dahan, it's Daqin. ”
The emperor frowned: "That means it's raining in the entire Holy Heaven Continent?"
The supervisor nodded cautiously and said, "But this is the case, before the rain, many officials of this prison observed the stars together and determined that there would be at least half a month of fine weather. But it turned out to rain the next day, and it continued for so many days. ”
"Are you wrong?" asked the prince.
Jian Zheng shook his head: "Impossible, the people who can become the officials of the Qintian Supervision Office all have decades of experience in observing the weather and astrological phenomena, one person can be forgiven for making mistakes, so many people make mistakes together, this can't be explained." ”
The emperor's brows became tighter and tighter: "Isn't there anyone who can explain this situation? You always say that we have a lot of talents, why can't we even explain a small climate change?"
The prison is about to cry, this is a strange weather that has not been seen for thousands of years, how can it be said that it is a small climate change.
The emperor then asked the crown prince, "You have come to see me, what do you have to report?"
The crown prince arched his hand and said: "Father Qi, all parts of the coast have sent flying wings to search at sea, but due to weather conditions, flying wings cannot see the situation on the sea surface in the air, so the location of the big ship cannot be determined. ”
The emperor said with displeasure: "What about the coast guard, have all their warships set sail and found clues?"
The prince smiled bitterly: "All set sail, but because of the rain, everywhere you look is foggy, and the visual distance is only a few miles, and it is not easy to find the whereabouts of a boat on the vast sea!"
The emperor said angrily: "Even the heavenly prince is not beautiful!"
"My father was angry. The prince hurriedly persuaded.
There were some cases that he didn't dare to say, such as three individual wings and one medium wing, because of the heavy wind and rain, there was an accident during the sea search mission, and none of the six pilots survived.
In addition, more than a dozen old warships of the Coast Guard were overturned by the wind and waves, and hundreds of people fell into the water, and due to the poor sea conditions, less than half of them were lucky enough to be rescued.
At this time, the chief eunuch walked in, bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the barbarian king Meng Zhun asks to see you." ”
"I'm dying of annoyance, I don't have time to see him!" said the Emperor very politely.
In his impression, Meng Zhun was nothing more than trivial things, such as complaining that he was not used to living in the imperial capital, and that there was a lack of this and that in the palace, and he had been on similar performances several times before.
Since he was imprisoned, he should be mentally prepared, and the emperor ignored his performance.
The eunuch explained: "Meng Zhun said that he knew the reason for the strange weather, and he asked people to come to see His Majesty last night, because it was late at night, so he was pressed until now." ”
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "He knows the reason? Then don't you call in quickly, you should let him enter the palace last night!"
"It's the minions who are derelict in their duties, so I'll go to the Xuanban King to meet him. "The manager ran away.
A few minutes later, Meng Zhun came to the imperial study with obvious dark circles under his eyes, since he thought of that story last night, he couldn't fall asleep, and he waited for the emperor's summons all night.
"Little King greets Your Majesty......"
"The barbarian king doesn't need to be polite, hurry up. The emperor was anxious to know the reason, and before he could kneel down completely, he shouted flat.
The Barbarian King immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why there is strange weather in the Holy Heaven Continent, Xiao Wang guesses that it is related to the Ancient Seal!"
Ancient Seals?
Everyone was confused, and even the supervisor of Qin Tianjian didn't know.
"In Nanban, there is a legend that has been circulating for tens of thousands of years. Meng Zhun continued: "Legend has it that there is an isolated island in the depths of the South China Sea, which is sealed with the divine consciousness left by the ancient demon god after his death. ”
The crown prince expressed disdain for this statement, and how many legends are true?
The emperor frowned and motioned for Meng Zhun to continue.
Meng Zhun continued: "The demonic qi will be accompanied by strange weather, and in a short period of time, walk to every corner of the Holy Heaven Continent, the beasts will first appear demonic changes, and then completely demonize, and all kinds of demonized beasts will bring disaster to the world, until the person who helps open the seal dominates the continent." ”
The prince sneered and said, "This is too alarmist, isn't it?"
Meng Zhun clasped his fists at him and said, "If it's just a legend, it's normal for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to believe it. But when Xiao Wang was young, my father once showed me an ancient book, which recorded in detail the location of the isolated island, as well as a clear navigation route map, and even how to open the seal, so this matter still has some credibility. ”
The prince immediately asked, "Where are the ancient books?"
Meng Zhun replied: "It should still be in the royal court...... No, now it's called Nanban Mansion City, in my family's old mansion, I remember that after my father became king, our family moved into the palace, and the old mansion was abandoned, and no one lived in it for decades. Then...... At that time, my father seemed to have wrapped old books in oiled paper and hid them in a stove. ”
The crown prince suggested to the emperor: "Father, the son thinks that he should immediately send someone to contact the government over there, and ask them to go to the old mansion of the barbarian king to find out the ancient books, and then quickly submit them to the imperial capital." ”
The emperor nodded: "That's very good! But after all, it was decades ago, and the ancient book is still there, and no one dares to guarantee it." I thought that in addition to this, I would also order the Hanlin Academy to hurry up and look through the ancient books to find anything related to the ancient seals. ”
"Father is wise!"
The emperor waved his hand and said to Meng Zhun: "Barbarian King, no matter whether the information you provide is useful or not, I feel very pleased, because you care about the people of Li in my Han Dynasty, which means that you really want to integrate into the Han Dynasty." If what you say is useful, I will reward you. ”
Meng Zhun clenched his fists: "Xiao Wang doesn't dare, I just said what I know, and I don't dare to be greedy for heaven." ”
The Hanlin Academy began to get busy, and hundreds of Hanlin began to stumble against the palace collection, focusing on ancient books that recorded ancient events.
Above the North Sea, Ye Yunyang stretched out and walked out of the cabin, the rain was still falling, and there was no sign of stopping.
He raised his head and asked Chen Shilai on the lookout, "How is the situation?"
"Not optimistic!" Chen Shilai replied: "The line of sight is blocked, and no reference can be found, and the sailors have calculated according to the speed and time of the voyage that we should have entered the Daqin Sea!"
Finally arrived in Daqin, Ye Yunyang felt a little comforted, and asked again: "What's going on with the sound of flying wings just now?"
These days, there are often flying wings flying overhead, sometimes at very low altitudes, but the big ship has never been spotted.
"It should still be the patrol soldiers of the big man, judging by the voice, they are at an altitude of three hundred meters, and they can't see us at all. Chen Shilai said.
Ye Yunyang was relieved at this time, looked up for a long time, and said: "It seems that the rain can't stop for a while, let the sailors put away the sails and lower the iron anchor, you drive the flying wings ashore to take a look, first determine the position and course." ”
"Understood!"
An hour later, Chen Shilai drove away on the flying wing.
In the cabin, two girls were studying witchcraft, and Liu Yuying's progress was very fast.
Although he hugged left and right and enjoyed the blessings of Qi people, Ye Yunyang did not get depressed because of this, and still insisted on cultivating every day.
He taught the "Interception Method" to Liu Yuying and Chen Shilai, and the two of them have basically mastered it.
He himself is now in the Gathering God Realm Qiankun Completion Stage, and if nothing else, he will immediately advance to the Abyss Realm.
Nineteen-year-old Tongyuan Realm master, such an achievement is enough to make the entire Holy Heaven Continent look sideways.
There is no way, the current situation is so serious, everything can only be settled by yourself, the level of the martial artist is particularly important, if you can't become a master in a short period of time, you will definitely be bullied in the future.
In the Imperial Capital Temple, Huo Hong was entertaining the visiting Wu Qinglin.
There was no news of the little junior brother, and both of them were very anxious.
Through his friends in the palace, Huo Hong learned that Ye Yunyang and Ye Yunyang had left Lieyang Island by boat a few days ago, and the weather was so bad, and the sea was windy and rough, which was really worrying.
Wu Qinglin remembered the matter of the "Interception Method" and snorted: "Your Majesty's giving up on the junior brother is definitely the most wrong decision in his life. ”
Huo Hong said helplessly: "The group of people that the prince is looking for have basically mastered the drawing method of the new spirit map, and I heard that they have successfully drawn the auxiliary map of the Gathering Divine Realm, so the emperor is so fearless and does not take the little junior brother seriously." ”
"What is the new spirit map, the little junior brother's ability is more than this. He said coldly.
The "Interception Method" has not been passed on, and the emperor does not know, because this is a secret method translated and personally tested by Ye Yunyang, and without his consent, Wu Qinglin will not tell anyone.
Qu Pingyuan walked in from outside, shook the rain on his head, and said: "The latest news I heard from the palace, the emperor has already regretted it, ostensibly to continue to want the little junior brother, but in fact, he wants to get him and Princess Yuying back, and he doesn't mean to blame them. ”
Huo Hong smiled: "In this way, our emperor is not too mediocre. ”
Qu Pingyuan sat down, and then said: "There is another news, the emperor ordered all the officials of the Hanlin Academy to go to the palace library, even the people who complained about the illness were no exception, it seems that they are looking for a follow...... By the way, it's related to the ancient seals. ”
Huo Hong raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure it's the Ancient Seal?"
Qu Pingyuan nodded: "That's right, it is said that it is still the clue provided by the barbarian king Meng Zhun, saying that it is related to the strange weather now." ”
Seeing that Huo Hong's brows were furrowing deeper and deeper, Wu Qinglin asked, "What's the matter, the high priest knows the inside story?"
Huo Hong nodded and said in a deep voice: "In those forbidden books in the Forbidden Book Pavilion, the word Ancient Seal appears many times, so I am not unfamiliar with it at all. According to the records of those books, these four words represent not a good thing, and the current situation really looks like the seal has been broken. ”
After speaking, he stood up, walked to the door and looked at the sky, and muttered to himself: "The demonic qi leaks out, the heavens and the earth have no light, lightning and thunder roar, the wind and rain are raging, and the earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking...... There will no longer be a peaceful day in the Holy Heaven Continent!"
