In the early morning of the first day of the first month of the second year of Zhengtai, the doctors of the Ministry of Rites and the Lang of the Ministry of Rites led the carriages and horses of the honor guard to welcome the people of Kunlunmen into the palace. Except for Jizang and Fengmeng, who are demon beasts and cannot enter the palace, the rest of the Lantern Festival people who went to the banquet participated in the court meeting with us.

Princess Lin and I sat together in the eight-horse and seven-incense car flying the silver gourd flag.

I'm still meditating on the written exercises of the "General Outline of the Heavenly Thunder Law" that I compiled last night

- Proud Sword recited the runes and mantras of the three mantras of fire, earth, and water, and I passed on his mental method of the general outline of the thunder method in my divine thoughts. Then I started with the earth spell that Proud Sword was most likely to use. The young man tried dozens of times in the atrium of the other courtyard to concentrate, gather his energy, and concentrate his mind, but he barely condensed into a yin thunder and buried it in the ground, and fainted immediately. He was still asleep in my room.

Fundamentally, Lei Fa is to invoke the five elements of true qi to strike at each other, internally to carry its own five elements true qi, and externally to communicate with the aura of the universe. Therefore, among the Five Elements Spells, Lei Fa has always been ranked first. Leifa has a solid foundation, and it is not a problem to carry the five elements.

While guiding Aojian, I sorted out my understanding of the "General Outline of Lei Law". In the past, I didn't have an orthodox Dao art inheritance, so I could only gradually explore the general outline of Su Huizhong as the circumstances followed, and now that I have studied the Taoist scriptures, I have experienced the duel with Yunmeng, Xiaoyue and others, and I have been able to deduce the unprecedentedly sub-lineage Lei Fa from the existing general outline.

When I was directing Aojian, I deduced a Yin Mine and a Water Mine: the Yin Mine lay in ambush in the ground and could lie dormant for six hours like a sleeping cicada. I am within a hundred miles of the thunderstorm, and I can trigger it immediately at my heart, and the mine floats and sinks in the water like a swimming fish, and the effect is like the thunder.

This is the introductory spell of water and earth in the general outline of the thunder method. Before the Lantern Festival feast, I can also deduce the five elements of the general outline to the apex of the Jindan that can be cast;

- I hope that during the Lantern Festival, I can recover enough true yuan.

"Yuanjun, have you thought about asking for something from the Son of Middle-earth?"

Princess Lynn called me.

Today, she is really like a fairy who has descended on the red dust, so beautiful that I am suffocated.

Wenhou has been informed: Today, the emperor of the court will promise us many benefits, which is the court's gratitude to the Kunlunmen people for the battle of Yunmeng.

"I don't have anything to ask of the Emperor of Middle-earth. I replied.

"Ha, anyway, the Son of Heaven can't give him the Immortal Enlightenment, and I don't have anything to ask him. The girl who was as bright as a cloud thought for a moment and said, "Then let's ask the Son of Heaven for benefits according to Uncle Ji's arrangement!"

She took out a small bag from the ring and handed it to me, "Last night, Ji Liuli sent the crane to bring me a bag and instructed me to ask for the benefit of the Son of Heaven according to the note of the bag; ”

"Doesn't Liu Ziyue have a good bag?"

I asked as I dismantled it.

"As far as the two of us speak on behalf of Kunlun and the Son of Heaven, there is no matter of Liu Ziyue - your sister is the leader of the Hebei Righteous Army, and she will also ask the Son of Heaven for something, but that is her business, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

- Xiao Zhi's carriage and horses are late, and we set off. She represented the sixteen righteous troops of Yan Zhao to participate in the New Year's Day court meeting, and according to the court meeting regulations, she did not enter the palace until the time of the meeting.

Princess Lynn naughtily leaned in to see my tips,

"What did Uncle Ji tell you to ask the Son of Heaven for?"

"Then what does Ji Liuli want you to ask the Son of Heaven?" I flashed to her.

After all, Princess Lin has changed her dress, and she is a lady in action, so she can't catch my tips at once.

"Oh, we'll know then. She said.

I quickly engraved the message in my bag into my thoughts, and burned it with a fire spell.

"Then I won't tell you, I'll know then. ”

She gave me a blank look.

The carriage and horses passed through the nine-fold city gate, and I saw the Taiji banner of the Dragon and Tiger Sect in front of the palace, and there were also many ceremonial doctors and ceremonial ministers surrounding the chariots and horses. Pianpian Pavilion stands in front of the palace - the girl in Tsing Yi is elegant and beautiful, and her temperament is like a hollow valley orchid.

There were three other friars around her, one of whom was a young monk with a feathered coat who stood out.

"That person is Mei Wucheng, the proud disciple of Qingwei Zhenren, who was seventh on the last mountain and river list. ”

Princess Lynn reminded, and then she greeted Pian Pian warmly.

I got out of the car and exchanged a few words with Mei Wucheng and the other two dragon and tiger talisman masters. One of them is named Xu Huisi, and the other is named Wu Meng. Wu Meng supervised the carving of the runes of armor and cannonballs in the demon tide of the imperial capital, and Xu Huisi supervised the production of the runes and other spirit runes, all of which made great contributions.

I suddenly found that I was the only one of the nine men with the silver snake sword hanging from my waist.

I asked the doctor of the Ministry of Rites if he wanted to take off his sword in the Son of Heaven Mingtang, or put the sword into the ordination.

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites said respectfully, "The dignity of all the immortal elders, and the secular ministers are not comparable. The Son of Heaven specially ordered you to go to the temple with your sword and pay homage to the nameless. ”

"Great goodness. ”

I couldn't be happier

-- This man is very knowledgeable and well-behaved, and he saves me a lot of trouble.

Under the guidance of many eunuchs, our two sects entered the palace and went straight to the New Year's Day court meeting: the Ming Hall of the Son of Heaven.

The eunuchs are all beautiful young men with the same appearance. The lips are red and the teeth are white, the voice is gentle and clear, and the demeanor is dignified and elegant.

Princess Lynn and I were both amazed.

Meiwucheng explained to us,

"In ancient times, the imperial court used eunuchs as internal servants. The Taisho Dynasty was guided by the sect and upheld the Taoist virtue of good life, and no longer crippled people's limbs. Nowadays, the chamberlains are replaced by puppets, and the miscellaneous ministries and guards are all served by these puppets. ”

Ryuko chuckled as I asked him why.

"What Senior Brother Mei said is an official article. Legend has it that after a certain generation of Taisho Emperor did wrongs against the Sword Sect, the Sword Sect assigned the Tang Sect to develop a special puppet. They act as internal servants, and the Son of Heaven's every move cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Sword Sect, and he cannot bypass the encirclement of the puppets to cultivate his own private affairs. ”

"I heard my father say: For a hundred years, the prestige of the imperial court has been low, and the eunuchs who go to the county to announce the decree are often dismembered by the rebellious princes to vent their anger. The imperial court simply used puppets, and if they were damaged, they would only lose some machinery. ”

Pian Pian said.

"So did the Marquis of Shangguan deal with the envoys of the imperial court like this before?" I asked curiously.

"I heard my brother say that my father's youth was like a fire, and it was not until my mother fell that my mind became indifferent. The girl in Tsing Yi sighed.

――It seems that Pian Pian is a little more like her mother.

The inner puppet guided us into another palace gate. In the magnificent courtyard stands a golden eaves hall with a circle at the top and a bottom and surrounded by water on all sides. The upper circle is the sky, the lower method is the ground, and the water is called Huachi. This is the solemn hall where the Son of Heaven promulgated the first class of political and religious affairs in the canon.

We crossed the Golden Bridge and entered the Ming Hall.

In the Ming Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials such as ministers, secretaries, and doctors have been economically gathered together.

On the couch at the head of the east chamber sat a beautiful boy in black clothes, and the ranks on her side were all civil official dresses, while on the couch at the head of the west chamber sat a rickety old man, and the ranks on his side were all military attaché dresses.

Ji Liuli urged me to recite the rules of the court. If I don't remember the grade of the prince and the prince and the direction of the court, the beautiful middle-aged man who is next to the Wenhou is the Taishi Xun Si, and then the princess is the imperial historian.

The decrepit old man at the head of the military attache was like a dead leaf and a rotten tree, and his spirit seemed to be drained by someone. The old man's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and it seemed that he might fall asleep in the Ming Hall at any time.

I chuckled inwardly, and could scarcely bear to look at this old man, who was physically and mentally exhausted

-- According to the position of the canonical rules I recited, that person is the current generation of Wuhou Yuwen Dengcheng. Unexpectedly, after the battle with Zhou Jia, a generation of Yuanying powerhouses was defeated.

The pointed-headed man under Wuhou was tall and proud, faintly with the breath of a primordial infant. From time to time, his gaze glanced out of the hall, and when he met ours, I couldn't help but feel a strong malice in my heart

- This person is Taiwei Yan Luobai, an ally of the imperial court of Yuwen Badu.

At the end of the Vermilion Majesty Steps, between the emperor's throne high above and the court's guests below, stood an iron tower-like statue.

Not a god to be exact, but the power of the man like a god.

This is the general, Yang Pengnian, the Marquis of Anle, and Guo Zihan, a middle-level powerhouse of Yuanying. His countenance was like an ancient rock, and there was no fluctuation of joy or anger. It is not known if this person is ready to leave the position.

Behind the general, a curtain of jewels was hidden in front of the throne. It was as if he had separated the boundaries between God and man alone.

- However, there are no gods for us cultivators. Stripped of mythology, the Son of Heaven is nothing more than a mortal.

I look at the throne behind the bead curtain.

"Who is the character, dare to watch the face of the sky!"

The idol scolds!

The truth spreads to me, and my bones stir up. The mantra is the tide, I am the boat. I wanted to draw the silver snake sword to resist, but I was worried that drawing the sword in Mingtang would break the rules of the sect.

In an instant, Princess Lynn stopped in front of me. Her eyes were golden, and she raised her hand to choke the general's mantra. Princess Lin's jade hand condensed into a black ice ball.

The voice was silent.

She sent me a divine thought: "I used demonic energy to freeze Yang Pengnian's mantra." ”

Then the girl replied with a little lacquered eyes. Ice hockey ablation.

Mingtang's surprised voice was frequent.

Wen Hou glanced at the middle-aged man beside him,

Taishi Xun Si went out of class and played to the emperor's throne,

The Zhengdan Pilgrimage Mission of the Xizhou Kunlun Sect and the Middle Earth Dragon and Tiger Sect has arrived. ”

"Since it is the presence of the immortal chief outside the red dust, he should be treated as a guest. Bestow the seat. A calm and firm young man's voice came from the throne of the beaded curtain, like the spring rain that spreads all over the world.

"No!"

The general Yang Pengnian sang the promise, and the ministers sang the promise.

The puppets served us small couches one by one.

All of us recited the sect's answer together, and then lined up beside Wenhou.

"I know that the Luo Shen family is a great sage revered by the princes of Xizhou. I am the lord of Middle-earth, and Princess Lin is my royal sister, and she is on my right. ”

The young man's warm voice came out again.

The puppet of the inner chamberlain puts a phoenix seat on the right side of the throne of God. As soon as the bead curtain was unfurled, the young man's beautiful eyes and solemn face appeared.

It was a teenager my age.

His cultivation is roughly at the upper level of the Golden Pill, the Dan is nearly mature, and with a little bit of implication, he can step into the Dao Fetal Golden Pill.

The young man in the golden dragon robe smiled faintly and whispered the word "please" to Princess Lin.

Princess Lynn sat right on God's throne.

Long live the Qunchen Mountain.

Suddenly, the chamberlain spread,

"The Sword Sect is congratulating the mission. ”
