Chapter Eighty-Nine: Change
The sky in the east was slightly bright, Qin Wen sat on the futon and slowly opened his eyes, after a night of pranayama, the vitality consumed by refining the pill had also been completely recovered, although this time he successfully refined a pill, but Qin Wen's understanding of the Qinglong Dan Furnace had not increased, and there were still many questions in his heart.
But he had never encountered this kind of magic weapon, and there was no one else to ask, although he had seen the true body of Suzaku in the Tianmi Sect, but with the style of the Tianmi Sect, let alone asking for advice about the Qinglong Dan Furnace, as long as he revealed the slightest information about the Qinglong Dan Furnace, he would be endlessly hunted down by the Tianmi Sect.
Now he only has to take one step at a time to understand the situation inside, but now, on the shiyan of the Qinglong Dan Furnace, there is no detour, and he has obtained so many Spirit Eagle Stones from the Tianmi Sect, and now he has also found the two Dan Furnaces behind the dark cyan gate.
Although there is still something unknown in the fog behind the Dan furnace, but the direction should be right, now that a Dan Pill has been successfully refined in a Dan furnace, Qin Wen's heart is a little hesitant, according to common sense, there is already a successfully refined Dan Pill in this Dan Furnace, and the next one can only be refined after the Dan Pill is taken out, but Qin Wen knows that it is no longer possible to speculate on the situation of the Qinglong Dan Furnace with common sense.
There is also the elixir in the second Dan furnace, and what makes Qin Wen hesitate now is whether to continue to use the first Dan furnace to refine the Dan Pill, or put that Dan Pill in the Dan Furnace and start preparing the elixir used in the second Dan Furnace and refining the second Dan Pill.
In the end, Qin Wen still decided to put the first pill in the pill furnace first, and start refining the second pill while he was free now, thinking of this, Qin Wen got up and walked out of his room, came to the room in charge he found last time, and wrote the elixir he needed on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
Qin Wen has also seen these elixirs, and they are still Xuan-level low-grade and middle-grade elixirs, but this time there are more medium-grade elixirs, and there are fewer lower-grade elixirs, and the difference between them is not much different for Qin Wen, whether it is in price or refining.
Just when Qin Wen had just walked out of the steward's room, he suddenly saw Lao Gao hurriedly walking in, and after seeing Qin Wen, Lao Gao hurriedly stopped, and arched his hand: "It turns out that Qin Feng is also here, is Qian San in the courtyard?"
Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but immediately remembered that this was Qian San's courtyard, so he turned to look at the steward who sent him out and said, "I don't know much about this, I'm looking for the steward of the treasury to get some elixir." ”
Lao Gao's face hesitated slightly: "I heard some news outside just now, and I am going to find Qian San to discuss, if Qin Xian is free now, it is better for the three of us to discuss." ”
Qin Wen pondered slightly, and he was not in a hurry about the matter of the Qinglong Dan Furnace, so he nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I have only been out of the customs during this time, and I am not too anxious." ”
The steward next to him replied at this time: "The steward Qian got up early and went out to the treasury, and the chief steward and the worshipper went to the main hall to have tea first, and I immediately went to our steward to come back, and brought back the elixir that the worship wanted." As he spoke, he invited Lao Gao and Qin Wen into the main hall, and then instructed the servants to serve tea, while he himself left the courtyard in a hurry.
After about half a pillar of incense, I saw Qian San hurriedly walked into the courtyard, came to the main hall and sat down, looked at Lao Gao's solemn face, waved his hand to let the servant next to him go down, and then asked, "Uncle Gao, did you come to me today for something?"
Lao Gao nodded and said: "It's about the Huiwang Mansion, in ten days, it will be a three-year royal hunt, this time I heard that the King of Hui made a statement to the saint, and he is going to let the royal children who participated in the selection of the dragon jue go to Beiyuan, and then these children will carry out this hunt in Beiyuan." ”
"Beiyuan!" Qian San's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he immediately spoke: "It seems that they are targeting our young master, didn't they usually hunt in Nanyuan?
Lao Gao shook his head and said: "Whether it is in the South Garden or the North Garden, it is just a sentence from the saint, since King Hui has proposed it, it is estimated that the saint will not be able to refuse, but this time for our young master, it can be extremely dangerous." ”
Qin Wen didn't understand what the two of them meant by hunting at this time, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Old Gao, what's going on with the royal hunt every three years?
Lao Gao heard Qin Wen's question, and only then did he understand that Qin Wen had just entered the capital last year, and he had not experienced the royal hunt, so he explained: "This triennial royal hunt is the rule of Taizu since the founding of our Great Qi Dynasty, so that the children of the royal family are always vigilant and do not waste their cultivation. ”
"This hunting place used to be only Beiyuan, and the exiles in it were all spirit beasts sent from all over the country, hunting once every three years, each royal palace in the royal family was a team, and the rest of the royal family children were divided into the same bloodline as a team, which team hunted the spirit beast with the highest grade won. ”
Qin Wen was still a little puzzled and asked, "Then when was Nanyuan built?"
Lao Gao continued to explain: "At that time, Taizu stipulated that it would be once every three years, and the remaining three years would be supplemented by various places, and the spirit beasts should be allowed to cultivate and recuperate in it, but it was impossible to kill all the spirit beasts inside every time, so the remaining spirit beasts avoided such hunting for hundreds of years, and gradually became stronger and stronger. ”
"When the fifth generation of Emperor Qi ascended the throne, there was once a spirit-level black bear who directly killed two princes of the palace, one of whom was also a popular disciple who participated in the selection of the dragon jue that year, this was very shocking in the court and the opposition, generally speaking, the people who participated in the hunt were the royal children below the Xuanshi realm, even if there were offerings and guards around them, there were very few people who exceeded the spirit level, so hunting in Beiyuan became more and more dangerous. ”
At this time, Lao Gao paused slightly and said: "At that time, the saint could not directly abolish the rules set by Taizu, Zuihou thought of a compromise plan, and rebuilt a South Garden in the south of the capital, South Garden is smaller than North Garden, the most important thing is that there are a number of spirit beasts stocked in South Garden every year, and at the end of the hunt every three years, the remaining spirit beasts will be caught in North Garden, and then a part of the suitable spirit beasts will be re-captured from North Garden every year to replenish. ”
Qin Wen understood a little bit at this time, but he still had a question in his heart, so he continued to ask: "Then since he has been hunting in Nanyuan for so many years, doesn't the saint know that there are high-level spirit beasts in Beiyuan this time?"
Qian San opened his mouth and explained: "Since the spirit beasts are transported from Beiyuan to Nanyuan every year, the spirit beast level of Beiyuan is still recorded in the royal family, I remember that it is these two years, basically every time the spirit beast is sent, the guards of Beiyuan will kill several high-level spirit beasts, it may be that the high-level spirit beasts recorded by the royal family that can threaten the upper level of the Xuanshi have been almost emptied, and the saint will allow this hunt to be held in Beiyuan this time." ”
As soon as he said this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Lao Gao in disbelief, and then the two of them spoke at the same time: "King Hui?" Then Lao Gao couldn't help but gasp and said: "It turns out that King Hui has been preparing to deal with the young master for the past few years, so this time it is really troublesome." ”
Seeing Qin Wen's still puzzled eyes, Qian San spoke: "King Hui has been serving as the commander of the royal guard for the past few years, although he has only hung a false position, the real power is still in the hands of the saint, but it is still easy to empty the high-level spirit beasts of Beiyuan. ”
"This is the first step of his planning, and then he knows that there is only Uncle Gao alone in our palace, and in terms of strength, our Duanwang Mansion is not even comparable to some ordinary royal children, and then he said that the Holy Lord will hold a hunt in Beiyuan, and he is going to use spirit beasts there to deal with the young master. ”
Qin Wen only understood the reason at this time, according to the analysis of Lao Gao and Qian San, it seems that the Huiwang Mansion has a careful Jihua to deal with Xiang Hao, and it may be a temporary intention when he was in Luming City, and the Beiyuan hunting should have been planned for a long time, and the people in the Huiwang Mansion have already calculated that after the death of King Duan, there are almost no high-level monks around Xiang Hao, so he planned such an inescapable death.
According to what Lao Gao said just now, Qin Wen could already think that when Xiang Hao entered Beiyuan, if there was only Lao Gao, an upper-level guard of the Xuanshi, there would be two Xuan-level upper-level spirit beasts inside, and Xiang Hao's situation would be dangerous, and it would not necessarily only meet two.
According to Xiang Kuang's consistent and steady style of besieging Xiang Hao in Luming City, it is estimated that there will be no spirit beasts in it this time, so as not to be left behind, and there must be no fewer spirit beasts at the upper level of the Xuan level, Qin Wen hesitated at this time and asked: "Then generally speaking, how many worshippers and guards will be sent by other palaces?"
Lao Gao pondered for a moment and said: "In the past, they were all in Nanyuan, at most, they put in three or five Xuan-level upper-level spirit beasts, saying that it was hunting, almost no different from a field trip in the suburbs, generally the palace sent about three Xuanshi upper-level monks, and the rest had more than a dozen people, but this time in Beiyuan, I estimate that each palace will strengthen the monks sent, and there will be at least five Xuanshi upper-level monks, maybe some will also send monks who are about to break the spirit." ”
Qin Wen frowned slightly, took a sip of tea gently, he also wanted to find a solution to this rule, so he asked, "Then what if Xiang Gongzi doesn't participate in this hunt on the grounds of retreat?"
