Volume 2: Lotus and Dragon Lying Chapter 73 The Female Hall Master
"Xuan, Xiangguo!" The lady shouted again, and the old man beside Changsun Jing also stood up slowly, holding the Seven Treasure Sword in his hand.
The two of them took a step at the same time, solemnly and slowly walked towards the altar.
Except for the hunting sound of those flags that symbolized the Yuan Palace, which was blown by the wind, the entire Yuan Palace, no, even the entire Tianyou County City, was quiet.
After a short time, the two stepped on the altar, saluted the master of the branch hall one after another, and then stood on either side of the hall master.
With a clear sound of "Zheng", the two Seven Treasure Swords were drawn out at the same time, their blades as white as frost and flashing with cold light.
The two looked at each other expressionlessly and swung their swords violently.
There was a loud bang of "dang", and the huge force made that Xiangguo stumble unnoticedly, and soon he stood up, looking at Changsun Jing with anger in his eyes.
Changsun Jing looked at him proudly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The two swords were crossed, and the master of the branch hall held a beautifully decorated bronze mirror and placed it on top of the two swords.
The bronze mirror was very strange, both sides could be illuminated, and the mirror behind it reflected the statue of the god, and it was suspended above the two swords like that, and with the lady's thoughts, the mirror turned in a different direction.
"Get up!" the hall master shouted, and the officials quickly straightened up and held the small box in their hands above their heads.
The small boxes snapped open, and many clumps of aura poured out of them, all of which poured towards the mirror.
The mirror only rotated slowly at the beginning of absorbing the aura, and then it turned faster and faster, and it was almost impossible to see its original appearance.
Suddenly, the mirror stopped without warning, and seemed to absorb all the sunlight that was cast, emitting a dazzling glow.
Thousands of people were illuminated by this strong light, and they all subconsciously covered their faces with their sleeves.
After a while, the bright light gradually dissipated, and a dynamic picture appeared in the mirror.
It shows the scene of smooth wind and rain, abundant harvest, abundant harvest of thousands of fertile fields, and happy family of the people.
The people looked at the picture in amazement, and when they came to their senses, they immediately cheered and danced, they looked at each other happily, clapped vigorously, and even were a little at a loss for excitement.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Yuan Palace. The hall master used Yuan Li to expand his voice and said loudly.
Under the shouts of the hall master, the people who were cheering and excited gradually quieted down and focused their eyes on the hall master.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Yuan Palace. The hall master glanced at the people below who were densely packed like a large group of ants, and said loudly, "You have also seen that God has promised us that in the coming year, the twenty-one cities under the jurisdiction of my branch hall will be smooth, but God also requires us to be loyal to the Yuan Palace, to keep to ourselves, to work hard, to be virtuous and courteous, if there is another disaster in another place, someone must have violated the will of God, so, his heart can be punished!"
Immediately, those people hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed one by one, and swore to the mirror.
Seeing this, Xing Zhen couldn't help but secretly admire the beauty of this ceremony.
This hand is too ruthless and too smart.
Giving orders in the name of heaven, even if any disaster really happens, it is also the reason why the people "do not act virtuously" and do not keep to themselves, which not only strengthens the cohesion of the people, but also consolidates the rule of the Yuan Palace.
No wonder for many years, all parts of the Yuan Palace have been calm and peaceful, not to mention rebellion, and there was not even a riot inside.
As for that mirror, please, the two Fusion Yuan Realm cultivators are there, isn't it okay to do some tricks?
Xing Xuan couldn't help but look at the people who had been bowing to thank him, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart.
Although he is an official of the Yuan Palace, he has seen that the Yuan Palace has recruited soldiers and integrated armaments for many years, and the fields have been somewhat deserted.
Fortunately, it is somewhat passable, and it is still within the affordable range.
After all, it is said that the great dynasty has gradually declined recently, and it has no influence, and seeing that the chaos is coming, the reorganization of the army is also for the peace of this area.
Xing Xuan let out a deep sigh of relief and thought so.
Some of these are what Xing Xuan thinks about himself, some of them are hearsay, and some of them are from all over the city lord's mansion, plus he has read all kinds of books for many years, and while he has some understanding of all this, he can't help but be a little curious about this world.
The Great Dynasty is also pitiful, when it established a political power on this continent, paid tribute from all directions, and all countries came to the court, and at this time, although it shows that the Yuan Palace is only one of the many vassal states that defend it, but there are many warlords, and the Great Dynasty also exists in name only, and there is no slightest influence and majesty.
Grandpa Changsun said that the monarch of the Great Dynasty was a faint monarch, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
When Xing Xuan was in a trance, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed his shoulders and pulled his thoughts back.
He looked back and found that it was a eunuch from the Yuan Palace.
He stood up and bowed slightly.
"Are you the Imperial Guard of Kuicheng?" the eunuch asked.
"Well, it's down there," Xing Xuan replied, looking at the eunuch suspiciously.
"When the temple master wants to see you, let the slave come and ask you. The eunuch said respectfully.
"Ah, the hall is going to see me, why?"
"This slave doesn't know, the slave is just here to tell you and pick you up. The eunuch said.
Seeing this, Xing Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then turned his head and signaled to Amon and Chen behind him.
"Then I'll leave you to lead the way. Xing Xuan said.
The eunuch didn't say anything, just turned around and went back the way he came, and Xing Xuan stepped forward and followed him.
After Xing Xuan left, the officials beside him began to talk about it.
"This is the elder of the court guard in Kuicheng, it is better to meet when he hears the voice, and it is really a magnificent atmosphere. ”
"Yes, although he is still young, he has a unique eye and is different from others, if it weren't for him before, I'm afraid Kuicheng would have fallen. ”
"It's really a terrible young man, what a great honor it is to be appreciated by the general and the hall master, don't look at him as a small court guard at this time, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future. ”
Chen and Amon on the side shrugged their shoulders when they heard this, looking at each other, still suspicious in their hearts.
After a while, Xing Xuan followed the eunuch in the Yuan Palace, Xing Xuan felt strange while walking, usually the pattern of the Yuan Hall is obviously very staggered, row upon row, how do you feel like you have entered a labyrinth today, you can't recognize the loop.........
Walking down the way, Xing Zhen is also breathtaking, I didn't expect this Yuan Hall to give people a feeling of a unique hole, and I have to marvel at the designer's intelligence and skills.
The oil paintings hanging on the wall, Xing Zhen had never seen before, and couldn't help but step forward.
"Well, who are these oil paintings, why haven't I seen them anywhere else in the Yuan Palace?" Xing Xuan wondered.
The eunuch glanced back at him and said in a low voice: "Those are the elders of the Yuan Palace, the founding heroes, and they have made great contributions, so they will only be placed in the depths of the upper echelons, and they will supervise the masters of the branch halls." ”
"Oh, that's right. Xing Zhen looked at the portraits with great interest.
Looking at the name of Xing Zhen, the people in the painting are angry with swords, horizontal swords, strategizing, and different forms, and I can't help but sigh in my heart.
His attention was completely drawn to these paintings, as if he followed the characters back to that time when the war was raging and the frost was everywhere.
If it hadn't been for the eunuch reminding him, he wouldn't have known that he had reached the last step.
"Elder Tingwei, this is already the highest place in the Yuan Palace, and the gorgeous gate in the middle of the front is where the hall master usually works. The eunuch said, "The slave still has something to do, so he will retire first." ”
"I'm sorry for you. Xing Xuan arched his hand and said.
The eunuch nodded as a greeting, walked downstairs, and returned the way he came.
After the eunuch left, Xing Xuan was left alone.
Xing Zhen looked at this place carefully.
The pavilion is high, and the clouds pass through the corridor hall, and it is still in the fairyland.
The ornamental satin hung from the beams, hanging down, slowly blown by the breeze, and the patterns on the roofs were exquisite, and the sound of bells seemed to come from far away.
On the sandalwood railing, small but delicate bronze finches look lonely ahead, as if longing to spread their wings and fly high like gulls and herons in the sky.
It is said that there is a pavilion called the castle tower in the palace complex with a series of branches, and I wonder if it is here.
The castle tower is as high as the pavilion, and the high place is lonely and cold, and only the castle tower is surrounded by the stars.
Xing Zhen flapped his sleeves a few times, crossed his hands on his chest, and walked cautiously forward.
He pushed the door open and strode inside.
Incense burned throughout the room.
Those gold-cast Vermilion Birds are even more lifelike in this smoke, as if they will spread their wings in the next moment.
On the central aisle on both sides of the beams and columns, a long carpet is spread to the soft chairs at the end.
The entire hall is golden and splendid, obviously dazzling, dizzying, but it gives Xing Zhen a feeling of emptiness.
Behind the beaded curtain, a blue luan bird with a colorful tail flew down from the soft chair and walked around the table recklessly.
Xing Xuan was very curious about the bird, so he looked at it carefully.
It seemed to have spotted Xing Zhen, and stared at Xing Xuan with wide eyes, and then turned its head away with disdain.
Xing Zhen pursed her lips and tilted her head.
What does it mean to be despised by a bird?
This bird aroused Xing Ying's great interest, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to take a closer look at this strange bird with human nature.
But before he could take a few steps, suddenly, the curtain was violently swept up by a powerful Yuan Force, and a tornado-like Yuan Force struck straight towards Xing Zhen!
Rao is Xingxuan reacted extremely quickly and dodged sideways, but the Yuan Force still brushed in front of him.
With a "bang", a yuan force struck the door of the temple, and suddenly there was a loud bang, directly penetrating the past.
Xing Xuan stared blankly at the door that had been pierced through and still emitting white smoke, and turned to look at the bird in disbelief.
The bird pecked at its feathers, then raised its head haughtily and looked at Xing Zhen with contempt.
That door was made of iron, and in some ways harder than steel, and it was broken alive?
Just when Xing Xuan was surprised, the bird monster suddenly pounced on him with a scream, and gathered Yuan Power in its mouth.
Xing Xuan was startled, and hurriedly pulled out the saber at his waist.
At this moment, the bird suddenly screamed, stopped in mid-air, and fluttered its wings vigorously.
Xing Xuan looked intently, and it was clear that there was nothing next to the bird, but it seemed to be pinned there, no matter how it fluttered its wings and screamed, it couldn't move a step further.
Just when Xing Xuan was surprised, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the hall, and many visible air currents converged towards the main seat, and a huge amount of Yuan Force suddenly filled this hall, and the pressure of Xing Xuan was almost out of breath.
With a "buzz", a huge ship appeared, and immediately, a figure appeared on the main seat against the backdrop of the sound of phoenixes and raging flames.
At that time, the distance was too far for Xing Xuan to see clearly, but at this time, it was only ten meters away from her, and she suddenly felt that the hot and terrifying Yuan Force on her body was like a raging fire burning inexhaustibly.
She wore a red gilt dress, covered with the coat of an unknown animal, and a little beaded gold hairpin on her sideburns was like a starry sky.
Although she can be called peerless, but the cold and arrogant face that can make the frost condense, as well as the eyes of Ruifeng who is not angry and self-threatening, and hides murderous intentions, although her face is like a moth eyebrows, it makes people only tremble, bow to the ground, dare not look directly, and dare not give birth to a disobedient and blasphemous heart!
In the end, it is the master of the Yuan Palace, even if it is only one of several branch halls, even if it is just a female streamer, but it is powerful and domineering between gestures, and the women do not let the eyebrows be bearded, and have a demeanor overlooking the world.
When the phantoms dissipated, she slowly raised her head, and her cold eyes pierced the stars below.
