Zhao Xingping also changed his previous indifference and put on a solemn and solemn look.

He turned around and said to a few people: "Follow me for a while, don't look around, and the most important thing is not to talk nonsense and lose etiquette." ”

After speaking, he dressed up and walked down the square with a group of people in the direction of the main hall.

As soon as Zhao Xingping walked down the square, a eunuch in a python robe greeted him. Unfolded the holy decree in his hand and recited it.

The general meaning is to let Zhao Xingping take the Qi refining spirit seedlings selected from Wucheng County to the temple for pilgrimage.

After Zhao Xingping received the order, under the leadership of the eunuch, he climbed the tall nine steps step by step. A sense of majesty and solemnity arises spontaneously.

The main hall is empty, only a few eunuchs and a few palace maids shaking fans stand above the steps, and a dragon chair carved with a golden dragon stands majestically on the high platform in the middle of the main hall, and a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a crown is sitting on the dragon chair.

The man had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall nose bridge and a very handsome face, and he was looking at Ye Ziyu and his party in the audience condescendingly.

There is an imperial majesty in the dark. Ye Ziyu, who had cultivated to the first level of Qi refining, could even vaguely sense that there seemed to be a small golden dragon flowing around the emperor's body when that wonderful hot air flowed through his eyes, probably this was the legendary dragon qi.

Ye Ziyu saluted the emperor with Zhao Xingping's three bows and nine bows, and the emperor coughed lightly, and the eunuch on the side shouted: "Flat." ”

Zhao Xingping reported to the emperor the results of this verification of qi refiners, and greatly publicized Ye Ziyu's extraordinary qi refining qualifications.

When the emperor heard that Ye Ziyu had directly smashed the stone used for calibration, he also showed a look of surprise, and immediately beckoned the eunuch to invite the national teacher.

A short time later, a tall middle-aged man walked in, and saw that he was wearing a black robe.

A face is extremely handsome, but the eyes are as cold as a poisonous snake, and when it sweeps on people, people can't help but feel cold.

And there seem to be traces left by the vicissitudes of time in the depths of his eyes, and the age of this national teacher is by no means as young as it seems on the surface.

Moreover, Ye Ziyu could vaguely feel that this national teacher was also a qi refiner, and his strength was even more unfathomable than Zhao Xingping next to him.

After the middle-aged man entered the palace, he did not bow to the emperor, but arched his hand to the top lightly, even if he finished the salute.

To Ye Ziyu's surprise, the emperor was not angry, and even Zhao Xingping on the side was accustomed to it.

The emperor ordered someone to bring a chair for the national teacher to sit down before he said: "National teacher, come and see the qi refining wizard that Zhao Qing's family brought back from Wucheng County, it is said that the verification stone was directly shattered when it was verified." ”

The national teacher just sighed, then turned his head to look at Ye Ziyu who was standing aside, and after staying on Ye Ziyu for a while, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

He said lightly to the emperor: "I think this son is mediocre and unremarkable, but he is over thirteen years old but only a layer of qi refining, how can such an ordinary qualification shatter the verification stone." Presumably his subordinates are greedy for merit and deliberately exaggerated. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Xingping, and the disdain in his eyes was undisguised.

Zhao Xingping, who was standing on the side, heard the national teacher say this, and his old face suddenly turned red.

He bowed down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this son has only been refining qi for more than one night, and he is even just a mortal at the time of verification. ”

A flash of surprise flashed in the national teacher's eyes when he heard this, but it was fleeting.

He said deliberately: "It's just a trick to trick your eyes, Zhao Shilang thinks it's old eyes dizzy." ”

Seeing that the quarrel between the two people in the audience was getting more and more intense, the emperor on the dragon chair raised his hand slightly, and Zhao Xingping in the audience quickly stopped his words when he saw this, only the national teacher still had a faint smile on his face.

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "Why should the two Qing families argue, you will know if it is true or not." ”

After speaking, he waved to the eunuch beside him, and attached a few words to his ear and ordered the eunuch to take his own orders and go down to arrange.

Not long after, a team of Imperial Forest Army moved a piece of bluestone from outside the hall, which was not as large as the one that Ye Ziyu had seen in the school field of the county guard mansion before.

But the whole body exudes a blue light, and what is even more peculiar is that there is a big "Han" character engraved on the bluestone.

Zhao Xingping's eyes showed surprise when he saw this stone, and even the national teacher's expression became solemn.

The emperor spoke: "This is a hundred years ago when the Han Dynasty paid tribute, the Han Emperor Longyan Dayue personally rewarded me with the verification stone of Cai Guo. There is an inscription on it by a Taixue Great Sacrifice Wine, which is enough to verify the most outstanding qi refining qualifications. ”

Ye Ziyu didn't panic at all, he was convinced that there must be a big secret hidden in his body, and now he took this opportunity to explore.

So without hesitation, he imprinted his palm on the bluestone, and as soon as he touched the blue light on the stone, it burst into flames, and in an instant, the entire bright yellow hall was rendered a piece of blue.

Ye Ziyu closed his eyes tightly, but there was a strong wind blowing between his sleeves, only to see that the blue light gradually gathered, and gradually formed a Taiji Bagua diagram, but the yin and yang in the gossip area could not be formed, and the Chinese character on the bluestone suddenly glowed.

Vaguely, it seemed that an old man with a tall crown and a broad belt could be seen holding a carved stone, and his obviously extremely thin body seemed to hold up the eternal blue sky.

Although the carved stone in his hand is small, every time it falls, it carries the most original righteousness of heaven and earth, a kind of unquestionable brilliance.

Everyone in the hall was shocked, this piece of bluestone was engraved with a trace of the great sacrificial wine, with the appearance of the old man's figure after the power of the bluestone increased again, the yin and yang in the gossip diagram finally emerged.

Zhao Xingping's face changed greatly after seeing it clearly, and he muttered in his mouth: "How can this be, this is impossible!" ”

The national teacher was first startled after the appearance of the figure of the Great Sacrifice Wine, but after seeing the yin and yang on the gossip map, he sneered, and his smile was full of disdain.

Only the emperor sitting on the dragon chair had an indifferent expression, as if everything was under his control. At this time, he calmly watched everything that was happening.
