Chapter 217: High Priest

Yu Qingwu opened the door with curiosity and a hint of expectation for the so-called 'Wu Zhu', just in time to see Lu Hu, who was already the housekeeper of the palace, groveling and waiting for him.

As soon as he saw Yu Qingwu come out, Lu Hu's back bent lower, and he looked up and was about to say something, but found that Yu Qingwu's face was worse than before entering the room, and he immediately asked, "Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Come forward and lead the way!" Yu Qingwu waved his hand, signaling Lu Hu to lead the way.

Seeing that Yu Qingwu didn't say anything, Lu Hu, who was a servant, didn't want to ask any more, so he immediately took Yu Qingwu to Tingfeng Pavilion.

It's unitary time, and it may not have completely sunset in the summer, but it's already dark in the winter. However, the palace has been held in the lamp, although it is not as bright as day, but it will not say that the five fingers are not visible, but the rockery, pool, and jade carving in the palace are illuminated by the light, which looks a little dreamy.

Listening to the wind pavilion is located in the center of the palace, in the center of the small lake with a radius of nearly 20 zhang, the pavilion is five floors high, carves the dragon and carves the phoenix, the whole attic is hollowed out, sitting in it can be seen and felt the wind outside, so it is named 'listening to the wind'.

There are no less than ten pavilions in the palace, the Supreme Pavilion is the main pavilion, where the emperor stays, and now it has become Yu Qingwu's couch, and the Tingfeng Pavilion is the deputy pavilion, with the purpose of viewing, the two pavilions are not far apart, so the two did not travel long before they came to the lakeside pavilion.

There are pontoon bridges on the shore of Tingfeng Pavilion and the surrounding shores, Yu Qingwu saw seven people standing or sitting in the Pavilion in the lake from a long distance, among which the burly man sitting on the big horn was the big cow, and on the opposite side sat an elegant middle-aged man with a calm expression, and then stood five officials in the clothes of internal officials.

"Your Highness, Lord Wu Zhu is in the pavilion!" Lu Hu stopped in front of the pontoon bridge and pointed to the pavilion in the lake.

Yu Qingwu nodded, and while stepping on the pontoon bridge, he said to the lake: "Lord Wu Zhu is coming, this king has missed the welcome, and he is guilty of sin!"

As soon as they heard the voice, several people in the pavilion immediately got up and turned to Yu Qingwu.

"Master, Childe!"

"See Your Highness!"

Several people called each other differently, and at this time, Yu Qingwu had already walked into the pavilion. He looked at the elegant middle-aged man in civilian clothes, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu Zhu, don't come unharmed!"

The elegant middle-aged man in front of him is the priest official in charge of the sacrifice and blessing of the Great Xia Dynasty, on the surface, he is a subordinate of the Chunguan Zongbo, one of the Jiuqing, but in fact, he specializes in serving the human emperor, which is somewhat similar to Long Ju, and they are all the kind of people whose official positions are not top-notch, but their status is not low.

When he set out on the expedition that day, it was this person who presided over it, but he was wearing a witch suit at that time, and his face was painted with witch script.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Chi Lin is here on the orders of His Majesty!" Wu Zhu Chi Lin bowed and saluted, and after speaking, he raised his hand to the internal officials behind him, and the two internal officials behind him who were holding mahogany plates immediately stepped forward. One of the mahogany plates contained a dark costume, while the other contained a half-palm-sized jade tiger seal engraved with the word 'Tianwei'.

Chi Lin pointed to these two things and said, "Your Highness, this is the general seal tiger talisman of the court clothes and the Tianwei Army. ”

Yu Qingwu nodded, motioned to the big bull on the side to take these two items down, and then waved his hand to signal the officials to go down as well. After everyone stepped back, he motioned for Chi Lin to sit down as well, and then said, "Lord Wu Zhu's surname is Chi, presumably from the Wu clan, right?"

Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Chi Lin, who sat down, was obviously stunned, and then his eyes showed a sudden look, and said: "Your Highness has not been in the imperial capital for a long time, and you should not know about these things. After a pause, he continued: "Your Highness is right, the subordinate is the person of the Wu clan, in fact, since the Yellow Emperor, the Wu clan will have clansmen come to the Central Plains to appoint the position of Wu Zhu under the throne, and the subordinate is the high priest of this generation of the Wu clan, so he was elected as the Wu Zhu of Great Xia......

Wu is the Jiuli tribe, is a small state in the south, the end of the three emperors, Shennong returned to the sky, the world is in chaos, there is Xiong Xuanyuan in the north and the face of the human emperor, but the leader of the Jiuli tribe in the south is not convinced, so he competes with him for the position of the emperor, several battles and several victories, until Xuanyuan asks the gods to help, and finally defeats Chiyou in Zhuolu, laying the foundation of the human emperor.

Chiyou is the ancestor of the Jiuli tribe, the clan since the Zhuolu World War after the great loss of vitality, from the original large country to the Central Plains vassal state, and because the people of the tribe witchcraft can pass ghosts and gods, sacrifices, in order to continue the bloodline, they will send the best people to the Central Plains every generation to serve as witches.

"I see. Yu Qingwu showed a sudden look, and then smiled: "This king has heard that witchcraft is mysterious and unpredictable, especially Gu is the most, it is rumored that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor almost died on Gu poison back then! And there are many kinds of Gu, there are murderers, and there are also rescuers, but there is such a thing?"

After Yu Qingwu's words fell, he didn't answer directly, but asked: "Your Highness said that His Highness was unwell, and sent his subordinates to take a look, and I heard that His Highness is a descendant of the exorcist Yu family, and the subordinates thought, Nine times out of ten, His Highness wants to ask the subordinates if the Gu is used to suppress the demon blood, right?"

Yu Qingwu smiled and said nothing, looked at Chi Lin with both hands and arms for a long time, and then said after the last word: "It's okay, but it's not all." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chi Lin finally showed a hint of doubt.

The corners of Yu Qingwu's lips tilted slightly, got up and looked at the lake under the lights, and said with his hands behind his back: "If you want to be a witch wisher, you must be able to know the art of astrology and divination, and the method of passing through the dark gods. ”

Hearing Yu Qingwu's words, Chi Lin's brows couldn't help but tremble, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes. He forced himself to calm down and said: "The subordinates don't understand what His Highness means, the subordinates look at His Highness's qi deficiency and white face, and it is expected that it should be a lack of qi and blood, and the spirit is unstable, if His Highness can trust the subordinates, the subordinates can ...... for you."

"I don't know if Lord Wuzhu knows who the Emperor of Heaven is?"

Before Chi Lin could finish speaking, Yu Qingwu turned around abruptly and asked, and the suddenly interrupted Chi Lin's body trembled and almost slipped off the stool. Seeing Yu Qingwu staring at him fiercely, he hurriedly put aside his eyes and squeaked, "Your Highness said...... It's a joke, isn't it just the emperor of heaven...... It's ...... He should be in ...... Where's the place......"

"Where should it be?" Yu Qingwu shook his head and smiled, and said as he walked towards the panicked Chi Lin, "Should that be in Yanzhou?"

When he heard the word 'Yanzhou', Chi Lin's whole person was stunned, he turned to Yu Qingwu in a daze, looked at the eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and couldn't help but say: "How do you know Lu Dao?"

As soon as the words landed, he woke up in shock, knelt on the ground with a puff, supported the ground with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "The subordinate did not explain to His Majesty for a while, and asked His Highness to surrender the crime!"

Twelve years ago, he made his own astrological divination, but the hexagram he obtained showed that in the near future, the emperor of man will change hands, and the emperor of heaven will be in the west. Since then, he will divinate again every once in a while, the first ten years, the location of the Tianding Emperor is the west, but in the last two years, the location of the Tianding Emperor has become Yanzhou in the north!

He has never dared to tell the second person about this, for fear of being punished for it, and he is confident that except for himself, unless he is a peerless master in the immortal path, there is absolutely no one who can use divination or deduce the will of heaven that the human emperor will change hands.

However, today he heard from Yu Qingwu's mouth about the change of ownership of the human emperor, and at first he thought that Yu Qingwu might have discovered a little bit and tested himself with words, but when he heard the word 'Yanzhou', he had already determined that Yu Qingwu knew about the change of ownership of the human emperor nine times out of ten.

Yu Qingwu is the Fuyao King of Xia Luqi's own title, and the two are sworn brothers, he knows that the Emperor of the Dao will change hands, doesn't it mean that the Emperor of the People will also know the Dao? If the Emperor of the People knows about the Dao, not only will he die, but the entire Wu clan will probably be slaughtered!

Seeing that Chi Lin who was kneeling on the ground was trembling, and his clothes were directly wet with sweat, Yu Qingwu half-squinted, looked at Chi Lin who was prostrate on the ground condescendingly, and said coldly: "As a witch wish, you have the duty to carry out the will of heaven, but when you found out about the change of ownership of the human emperor, you didn't report it, what is the use of asking you to be a witch wish?"

As the words fell, a beam of sword qi condensed from his fingertips, pointing directly at Chi Lin's neck, as long as he moved slightly, Chi Lin would die no longer dead.

"Your Highness spares your life!

The fierce aura emitted by the sword qi made Chi Lin shudder, he raised his face full of cold sweat, looked at the expressionless Yu Qingwu and said: "The reason why the criminal minister concealed it and did not report it was also because he was afraid that His Majesty would worry about this matter, and he had no intention of framing His Majesty!"

Yu Qingwu sneered, dispersed his fingertip sword qi and said, "Judging from this king, you are afraid of getting into trouble!"

After Yu Qingwu dissipated his sword qi, Chi Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just now he really felt Yu Qingwu's oppressive murderous aura, and at that time he even had a feeling of being in a sea of corpses and blood, and he was extremely close to death!

At this time, although Yu Qingwu's words were still like a sword, and the words penetrated his heart, he dispersed his sword qi, which meant that his life was temporarily unhindered. He knelt forward a few steps forward to Yu Qingwu's feet, pulled the hem of his clothes and said, "Your Highness, as long as you can protect the villain and the Wu clan, the villain will be at your disposal from now on!"

He didn't know what Yu Qingwu would know about the imminent change of ownership of the Emperor of the Daoist Dynasty, but since Xia Luwu did not condemn himself, it meant that Xia Luwu did not know about the Daoist matter, and at this time, Yu Qingwu made it clear to himself alone, it must be Yu Qingwu who wanted to recover himself.

If it was just about his own life, he would not succumb to Yu Qingwu's obscenity even if he died, but this matter was very important, once it was exposed, it was not possible that Xia Luqi would be angry with the entire Wu clan, which made him have to take the initiative to show favor to Yu Qingwu, just to retain the blood of the Wu clan.

If I had known that there would be today, I wouldn't have gone to divination even if I killed him back then!
