Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Present

Ye Xingyuan had also read the "Map of the Four Directions" and knew that this was a small country in the south, and all dynasties and dynasties had looked up to the Central Plains to breathe, paid tribute every year, and became ministers every year, so that they could survive for a long time. ↗

I didn't expect that even such a small country would dare to have a plot to dig up talents in the Central Plains, and it seems that the world situation is much more complicated than imagined.

Ding Huakui looked at Ye Xingyuan and was silent, thinking that he was hesitating, and said: "My Nanyue lord was canonized by the Celestial Empire, and the scholars in the country also understood the heavenly opportunity, and the ministers of the court and the central government can also be given the divine power of the Mandate of Heaven, so Ye Gongzi doesn't have to worry about this." ”

Scholars practice and comprehend the heavenly machine, one is for the glory of the ancestors, and the other is naturally for the official supernatural powers. Ye Xingyuan is still young, and he only uses money and beauty to seduce him, and he has to draw a big pie for him in the future.

Ye Xingyuan didn't understand for a while, was this a conscious cultural export or a lure of wolves?

The royal family is the human agent of the mandate of heaven, and the emperor of the Central Plains cannot be canonized, even if he establishes himself as a king and a knight in a foreign land, he can't borrow the opportunity of heaven and can't get supernatural powers. It is necessary to pay tribute to Beijing every three years and obtain a title seal before it can take effect.

Logically speaking, it is extremely easy for the imperial court to control these vassal states, as long as there is a slight restraint on the canonization, then the vassal state will inevitably have civil strife.

I am afraid that this dynasty will call itself the superior country of the Heavenly Empire, and I am deeply afraid that it will lose the bearing of a great country, as long as these small countries bow down on the surface, the court will not distinguish between good and bad. It's no wonder that others are ambitious and have their own ideas.

In any case, Ye Xingyuan is a native of the Central Plains, and his foundation is to make progress in scientific examinations, go to school and excel. Now that the future is bright, I will definitely not choose this kind of road to go to another country, let alone the issue of national integrity.

Therefore, he refused: "The kindness of the Oiran lady is appreciated in my heart." However, if you are a foreigner for the sake of glory and wealth, you are afraid that you will not have the face to see your ancestors under the nine springs. ”

In fact, there were a lot of sarcasm in the words, Ding Huakui touched a nail, and he didn't like it in his heart, but he also knew that the time had not yet come, so he no longer persuaded him. I only took the jade flute, played a song leisurely, invited wine twice, and then hung down the bead curtain, which was regarded as a send-off.

After Ye Xingyuan and Oiran made their words clear, they were not interested in chatting more, but they just responded to the story in vain, and after such a period of time, they went through a formality. After all, the wheel bead is the ultimate goal, and there is no grass at the end of the world, so there is no need to entangle with this dissenting Oiran.

After saying goodbye, he got off the painting boat, but Ouyang Ziyu was more anxious than Ye Xingyuan, and urged directly: "Let's go!

Tonight, in the middle of the Qing River, outside the painting boat, build a high platform, called "Pearl Terrace". The winners of the Oiran Conference can walk along the erected pontoon bridge to the pearl platform, and their own servants of the Dragon Palace will send the wheel beads for the winners to use, and then take them back when the sky is bright.

It takes about a quarter of an hour for a scholar to transform his body with a wheel bead, and he doesn't have to stay on the pearl platform all night, so most people spend more time at the Oiran.

It's just that Ye Xingyuan and Ding Huakui don't talk for more than half a sentence, although they are talented and beautiful, they just look at each other and hate each other, so it's better to see the wheel beads as soon as possible.

Ye Xing was far from getting off the painting boat a moment later than the others, and it was not late at night, and the riverside was still very lively. Seeing Ye Xingyuan coming out, he won a lot of praise, and was touted as a lascivious and sincere gentleman, and his reputation was raised a little.

Several principals surrounded him, put on bright new clothes for Ye Xingyuan, arranged flowers and wore crowns, dressed up like the groom's officials, and then sent Ye Xingyuan to the Yongdao leading to Mingzhutai.

Ouyang Ziyu was about to follow, but was stopped, "This little lady, I'm really sorry." Only Ye Gongzi can go on the Pearl Terrace, this is the rule of the past years, please bear with me"

Ouyang Ziyu glared angrily, she showed "so much" strength, and showed off her strength in the third level, which ensured that Ye Xing was far from the level and finally became the winner of the Oiran Conference. In the end, he just made a wedding dress for Ye Xingyuan, and he couldn't even take a look at the wheel beads?

It's just that on this occasion, she really can't do anything to play tricks, and after looking around, she has a careful thought, quietly burrows into the crowd, and disappears.

When Lu Wei, who had been low-key for a long time, looked back, he had already disappeared Miss Ouyang, and secretly complained in his heart, not only afraid that his cousin would investigate his betrayal after he took out his energy, but also afraid that Zhang Gongzi would retaliate against him, so he could only sigh for a long time......

Ye Xingyuan stepped on the pontoon bridge, only to feel that his feet were stable, and when he looked down, he saw countless golden carp clustered on both sides, holding the wooden planks of the pontoon bridge, so he walked up as if he were walking on the ground.

The dragon palace is also extraordinary, the dragon king of the Han River is the lord of the water system here, and the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the Qing River have to obey the order. I don't know if these carp take the initiative to pat themselves on the back, or if they are ordered, it always makes people feel magical and interesting.

The Qinghe River is not too wide, Ye Xing walked more than a dozen steps away, and then stepped on the Pearl Terrace. There is a wooden pavilion on the platform, four eaves and eight antagons, made of pure fragrant wood, quite exquisite.

Ye Xingyuan sat down in the pavilion, waited patiently for a while, listened to the sound of the water, and then the waves parted, and an old turtle in an official uniform leaned out of the water, tread water under the moon, and walked in front of Ye Xingyuan.

The old turtle shook three times in one step, and grinned: "Ye Gongzi is amazingly talented, and he is the leader of this Hanjiang Mansion Oiran Conference, which is gratifying." This minister was ordered by the dragon king to send the treasure of the water tribe to the wheel beads, and lent them to the prince to enjoy the night, and took them back at dawn tomorrow. ”

The Dragon King of the Han River is the god of water who was enshrined by the imperial court and recognized by the heavenly court, and his rank is equivalent to that of the Yin of the Han River Mansion. Under his Dragon Palace, he can also be knighted, although this old turtle is not really a first-class member equivalent to the prime minister of the imperial court, but he is also a water tribe with a status and status.

Ye Xingyuan did not slack off, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Prime Minister Gui took out a box from his arms, held it in front of Ye Xingyuan and said: "This is the wheel bead, this treasure was born in the moon, nourished by the river for thousands of years, and it is infinitely useful, but it can't see the sun." Ye Gongzi can be used carefully, just don't damage it. ”

In fact, this kind of aquatic treasure, it is difficult for ordinary people to break it even if they deliberately want to, not to mention just letting Ye Xingyuan use it on the Pearl Terrace, and it can't be taken away, so there will be no accidents.

When exposed to sunlight, the beads fade. But before dawn, the turtle prime minister will come back and hide it under the water, and there will be no chance for it to see the light of day.

After that, Prime Minister Gui opened the treasure box in his hand, and Ye Xingyuan saw the five-colored light dazzling, so shaking that he could barely open his eyes. After his eyes adjusted to the bright light, he saw that there was a layer of cyan velvet in the box, and a dragon's eye orb was embedded in the velvet.

This is the treasure that the scholars in the Hanjiang Mansion dream of, and by washing the whole body with pearl brilliance, it can open up the meridians and have the effect of spiritual energy empowerment. It is only once a year that the leader of the Oiran Congress has the opportunity to use it.

Ye Xingyuan took the treasure box, and Prime Minister Gui temporarily took his leave and retreated into the water. The wheel beads were shining endlessly, almost lighting up the night sky. Looking far away by the river, you can see the colorful lights on the pearl platform flickering, causing cheers.

On the painting boat, Ding Huakui also walked out of the cabin, standing on the deck and looking at the Pearl Terrace, frowning slightly thoughtfully.

"It's out!" Ye Xingyuan watched the turtle prime minister leave, and then he shook his sleeves, and a palm-sized white fox silently drilled out of his sleeve. and it grew in the wind, and became a foot long.

When the white fox saw the divine light of the wheel bead, he couldn't help but pounce on it, opening his mouth to hold it. Ye Xingyuan hurriedly covered the box, lifted the fox ears, shook his head, and said, "Why are you so anxious? ”

Of course, this white fox is Mo Niangzi, she has been shrinking her body with the turtle breath secret method since this morning, and hid it in Ye Xingyuan's sleeve. As long as she doesn't say anything and doesn't feel the outside world, people from the outside world can't discover her existence.

Ye Xingyuan was a good talker, and when he got the wheel beads, he generously gave them to Mrs. Mo to use them first. Mo Niangzi twisted her body, stretched out her tongue and licked Ye Xingyuan's palm. He also said: "Ye Gongzi is really a believer, this wheel bead is the treasure of the Dragon Palace, I will take care of it."

However, the ugly story is said in the front, the wheel beads are hidden under the Han River, absorbing the essence of moonlight for a whole year, which has the power to transform the body. If I use it to heal first, and you use it again, the effect may not be one in ten, can you be willing to do it?"

Although Ye Xingyuan has emphasized several times that he should use it first to treat Mo Niangzi's injuries, now that the treasure is in front of him, it is inevitable that he will not regret it. Mo Niangzi listened to the lessons of the elders very early, men are the best at lying, especially beautiful and talented men can lie, although Ye Xingyuan is not extremely beautiful, but he is already a talented man who moves the Han River, I don't know if it is reliable?

Of course, Ye Xingyuan was a little reluctant, but he recalled the scene where Mo Niangzi sacrificed herself to fight against the old lady that night, and he could only let go of the pain.

In the world, life-saving kindness always has to be repaid, and at the moment, Ye Xingyuan could only wave his hand arrogantly: "The big husband is hard to chase after him, how can I, Ye Xingyuan, be this kind of backsliding?"

Mo Niangzi smiled, she stood upright on her hind legs again, and bowed to the moon three times. He spit out the cyan Neidan from his mouth, and turned twice on the treasure box, the box opened automatically, and the wheel bead was attracted by the power of Neidan and flew into the air, spinning and dancing with Mo Niangzi's Neidan, as if he was playing.

"Since you are a believer, I cannot bear you. The fox turned her head, and she said very seriously, "I have the benefit of this wheel bead, and I will not treat you badly, maybe it is no less than you use it directly!"

After that, the white fox opened its mouth and sucked it, and the wheel bead and Nedan flew up quickly, bringing dazzling brilliance, crossing a brilliant curve in the air, and falling steadily into her mouth!
