Chapter 2 The Palace of Life

Yangchen glanced at her: "Before I get angry, let's go." ”

Xiao Cui glanced at Liu hesitantly.

"Haven't had enough?" A breath of evil air surged into Yang Chen's eyes, and the temperature around him dropped a few points in an instant.

Xiao Cui's face turned pale, and a look of horror flashed in her eyes.

She couldn't have imagined that a waste-like young master would have such courage, and she didn't have time to think about it, because she had already felt the arrival of the second slap and hurriedly fled.

"Chen'er, you are too reckless, Xiao Cui is the favorite maid of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, if you hit her, it is equivalent to beating the eldest princess. Liu's beautiful eyes were full of anxiety.

"Mother, didn't you see that she was about to ride on our necks? How can you say that you are also the concubine of the Marquis of Dingguo, what is the difference between her calling you around like this and treating her subordinates?" Yang Chen said dissatisfied.

Liu sighed deeply: "Mother was originally..."

"Mother, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will definitely make you the master, and after tomorrow, I will let those slaves and maids who look down on people look at you differently!" Yang Chen swore solemnly.

Liu Shi showed a wry smile: "You beat Xiaocui, the eldest princess will not let go of our mother and son." ”

"Tomorrow is the day to worship the 'God of Destiny', and the Marquis of Dingguo will also come back tonight, she will not do anything to us at this juncture. Yang Chen's eyes narrowed, and he said: "After tomorrow's ceremony, if she wants to do something to us again, she will have to ask the Marquis of Dingguo!"

Liu sighed helplessly, she didn't know where the dust came from.

However, she was ready, and after tomorrow's sacrifice, she would personally go to the eldest princess to plead guilty.

......

Following.

When the sky in the east turned white, the entire Guangling City was immersed in a sheng song.

The summer solstice, the hottest day of the year, every year on this day, the princes and generals of the entire Guangling City will bring their families and appear at the worship ceremony of Tianque Terrace.

Tianque platform, is the ancient altar made of marble, known as the highest building in Guangling City, in the center of the altar, there is a stone statue more than 100 meters high, you will find that this stone statue is very strange around a circle, there are actually two faces, inlaid in the form of back to back, one positive and one negative, one male and one female.

The male is fierce and fierce, and is called the 'fierce god', and the female is called the 'good god'.

This is the idol of the 'God of Destiny'.

Around the idol, cows, sheep, pigs are tethered... and so on, all kinds of livestock, used for worship......

Standing at the top is the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty wearing a dragon robe, Emperor Wuheng.

Further outward, there are princes and concubines, royal relatives, and princes and generals, and at the outermost end are their families, and even rich merchants, all hoping that their children can be favored by the 'god of fate' in this grand sacrifice.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the second brother to come. Yang Xiu, the prince of Dingguo, put his hands behind his back and said in a contemptuous tone.

His voice was not lowered, so everyone around him immediately turned their eyes to him.

"Hey, isn't that the second son of the Marquis of Dingguo? He is sixteen years old and hasn't opened the palace yet, how can he still have the face to participate in the divine sacrifice?"

"Since he was six years old, he has been participating for nine years, and he has been disappointed every year, and maybe even he doesn't know how to write the word shame. ”

"It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, and the marquis of Dingguo is so majestic, how did he give birth to such a nest son. ”

"The nine sons of the dragon are different, you see the prince of Dingguo, the nine-year-old life palace, and it is also the four-grade life palace, and now it has reached the realm of the body realm of the palace heaven, that is the orthodox bloodline of the Yang family. ”

“......”

Among these words, there are some excessives, and the dust in the past has already been angry.

But today, to everyone's surprise, the dust was as steady as Mount Tai as if ignoring the words of these people, there was no fluctuation on his face, and his tone was quite calm: "Why, I have to report to you when I come?"

Yang Xiu's attitude made Yang Xiu a little unhappy, Yang Xiu smiled coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't come this time, no matter what, you are also a person from the Dingguo Hou Mansion, you are shameless, and the Dingguo Hou Mansion will have to be faceless." ”

The power of the Yang family of Dingguo Hou is extremely huge, and it can be said that it is above 10,000 people under one person, so the Yang family is the object of focus every year.

Yang Huizong, the Marquis of Dingguo, has a total of two sons, the eldest son Yang Xiu has already opened up the Four Lives Palace a few years ago, and has become the envy of everyone in the imperial capital, but this younger son has tried and failed repeatedly.

In the long run, the dust has attracted a lot of gossip for the Yang family.

Some people say that the Yang family is too powerful, and God gave him an idiot son as a punishment, which was to remind the Marquis of Dingguo.

Some people also say that Yangchen was not born by the Marquis of Dingguo at all, maybe it was the Liu family who was mixed up with the people in the house. Although it was just a rumor, it also made Dingguohou's face gloomy.

Because of this incident, the Marquis of Dingguo gradually alienated Liu's mother and son.

Under the exclusion of the eldest princess and the son, the situation of Liu's mother and son became more and more worrying.

Yang Chen glanced at Yang Xiu and didn't pay attention to it, the facts will prove everything.

"Listen, if you still think of yourself as someone from the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, leave now. Yang Xiu said in a low voice.

Yang Chen turned his gaze to Yang Xiu and suddenly smiled: "You are not worthy!"

"Good, good. ”

Yang Xiu squeezed his fist with a loud sound, he didn't know why this Yang Chen, who had always been obedient, had the courage to confront him today, but this had already made him very unhappy: "I hope you can successfully open the Life Palace today." ”

After this time the Divine Sacrifice, if Yang Chen has not opened the Life Palace, he will never have the opportunity to participate in the Divine Sacrifice again.

The Marquis of Dingguo will also give up on him completely, and at that time, Liu's mother and son will lose their only remaining protection, and it is inevitable that they will become Yang Xiu's palms.

"The Ritual of Worshipping the Gods, Begin!"

There was silence.

The priest of the Great Wu Dynasty stood on top of the altar, holding an ancient scepter, closed his eyes and began to chant with words.

"Great God of Destiny, your most loyal people beseech your grace and rain ......"

At the end of the ceremony, a thunderous trumpet sounded around the altar, rolling into the sky, and a roaring fire was lit at the feet of the god of fate, and runes swirled around the stone statue in a mysterious light.

Oxen were slaughtered and sheep were slaughtered, and blood was sacrificed to the gods.

Rumble~

The heavens and the earth were colorless, the dark clouds were thick, and a bloody light shot straight into the sky, breaking through the thick clouds.

Then, a divine beam of light descended from the sky and shone on the stone statue of the god of fate, and then the idol turned in place.

Every time she rotated, the female 'good god' would open her eyes, and wherever she looked, there would be a golden light gathering on the top.

In the golden light, he is the son of heaven.

Suddenly, a golden light fell from the sky and fell on the top of a ten-year-old boy's head, gradually integrating into the boy's body, and four points of light lit up in the center of his eyebrows, which flashed and disappeared.

"It's the youngest son of Xuanping Hou, and he didn't expect to open the palace of life before he was ten years old. ”

"It's still the Fourth Life Palace, this little guy's future is limitless, Xuanping Hou has made a lot of money this time, and his two sons are all life palaces that were opened at the age of ten. ”

The life palace is also divided into grades, from weak to strong, from one to nine grades.

Everyone showed a look of envy, it was a great favor to be able to get the favor of the gods, and it was even more important to be able to open the Four Grades of Life Palace.

"Haha, it's worthy of being my Zhang Ao's son, I really give Lao Tzu a long face!" Among the hundred officials of the Great Wu Dynasty, a sturdy man said proudly: "Xuanping Mansion will hold a banquet tonight, you must appreciate it!"

Everyone looked at Xuanping Hou, who was full of red light, and stepped forward to congratulate him.

Opening the Four Lives Palace at the age of ten is already considered the pride of the sky, and the future achievements are immeasurable, and now is a good time to pull the relationship.

Whoosh!

As the stone statue continued to open and close its eyes, a golden light appeared out of thin air, causing bursts of exclamations in the crowd, among them, the first grade life palace was the most, followed by the second grade.

However, the young people who can open the Second Rank Life Palace are basically the children of the princes and ministers, and the bloodline of the previous generation plays a crucial factor.

And the three-rank life palace is very few, and as for the four-grade life palace, no one has obtained it since the youngest son of Xuanping Hou.

After all, the son of the heavenly family is a minority, and among the hundreds of teenagers present, only twenty or thirty people are fortunate enough to open the life palace, whether it is the first product or the second product, these people are very excited.

Those teenagers and girls who have not received the favor of heaven are very depressed.

The festival is coming to an end.

However, Yang Chen still has not won the favor of heaven, and it seems that he has no hope of becoming a warrior in this life.

Yang Huizong, the Marquis of Dingguo in front, let out a long sigh, anyway, Yang Chen is also his son, and if an ordinary person appears among his heirs, I am afraid it will become a shame for his life.

The Liu family still had a glimmer of hope at the beginning, even if it was a first-grade life palace, as long as it could open the way of cultivation, it would not be reduced to the point of being bullied by others in the future.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

"After all, a concubine is a concubine, how can it compare to my noble bloodline. Yang Xiu sneered and simply stopped paying attention to the movement of the dust.

Yang Chen ignored the emotions of everyone, stood quietly in the crowd, staring intently at the rotating statue of the god of fate, and at a certain moment, a trace of black mist appeared in his deep pupils, and an invisible force rushed out.

Rumble!

At the last moment of the festival, a vision suddenly appeared.

I saw that the rotating stone statue suddenly froze, and in an instant, everyone saw a shocking scene, the fierce man's face suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of demonic pupils exuded a terrifying light.

Swish!

A pillar of black light fell from the sky and shrouded the dust above.

"Oh my God!

There was an exclamation from the crowd, such a phenomenon has never been seen before, since the appearance of the stone statue of the god of fate, it has always been the manifestation of the good god to help the world open up the palace of life, and I have never heard of the manifestation of the evil god.

This situation made them very panicked, and the black pillar of light just now was extremely evil, and at this moment, some people already had a sense of foreboding.

The black pillar of light gradually disappeared, and seven points of light lit up in the center of Dust's eyebrows.

Seven Lives Palace!

There was a deathly silence.

Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, this guy who only opened the Life Palace at the age of sixteen was actually the Seventh Rank Life Palace?

How can it be?

This kind of talent is comparable to the peerless genius of the royal family.

The first to react was the emperor of the Dawu Dynasty, he glanced at the eunuch beside him, and a trace of intrigue flashed in his eyes, the power of the Marquis of Dingguo was about to exceed his control, and now there was a son of the Seven Rank Life Palace......
