The sound of silk and bamboo sounded again, and the graceful dancers filed in, singing and dancing, as if what Yang Shangjie said had never been uttered...
After the birthday banquet was over, Zhou Xing followed Chen Wenle out of Chongxi Palace. The latter seemed to have forgotten that the people at the birthday banquet were unhappy, and carelessly hugged the latter's shoulders and said: "How are you, my sisters?"
Which one do you like? I saw that when you defeated that Yangyu, their eyes were all shining. If you haven't gone far now, just catch up and catch up, you can definitely win!"
"What are you taking?" A voice came from behind, and Chen Yucheng, dressed in sky-blue palace clothes, stepped forward. Compared with her wearing armor, she had a different charm.
Chen Wenle scratched his head and said awkwardly: "It's nothing, I just said yes, take down that Yangyu. It seems that that guy was ordered by Yang Shangjie to cause trouble. It's really a relief, and it can be regarded as a blessing for my sister."
You took a breath."
"By the way, you should have beaten the shit out of Yang Shangjie to see if he, a toad, still wants to eat swan meat."
Chen Yucheng shook his head and said: "You put it lightly. Yang Shangjie can stand out among dozens of princes and princesses in the Tianyang Dynasty and become the prince. How can it be so easy to deal with? Only the body of the Holy King dares to say that he can stabilize him. Then wait.
Tianjiao..."
The words stopped abruptly, and Chen Yucheng paused and continued: "It will be the time for Tianchi to open in half a year. When you come back now, don't think about running around anymore. Practice hard for me. Not to mention becoming a saint in the future, at least you will be able to become a saint."
You need to have a cultivation level in the Dharmakaya realm to be considered passable."
Hearing about the cultivation, Chen Wenle immediately said with a grimace: "Sister, don't you know me yet? I really have no talent in this area. Otherwise, I won't go to Tianchi and find someone else to take my place."
Bar."
Chen Yucheng said sternly with a straight face: "Do you know how long I have worked hard for you to get the chance to go to Tianchi? How many people are staring at a quota, like hungry wolves smelling meat, they all say you
Not worthy at all, you have to prove yourself!"
Chen Wenle pursed his lips. He also knew how much pressure his sister was under, but he was really not that good at it. Looking at Zhou Xing who had already turned his back and looked around, he turned him around and said: "
Sister, I will give up my place to Xing, he has become stronger and can help you more than me."
"I?"
"he?"
Chen Yucheng and Zhou Xing glanced at each other and were stunned at the same time. The former was silent for a while, seeming to be thinking, and the latter immediately asked: "Let me ask first, what is that Tianchi?"
"Tianchi is a lake naturally formed on the top of Tianchi Mountain. It is formed by gathering the essence of heaven and earth. It can cleanse the marrow and cut the scriptures, improve the physique of monks, and greatly enhance their cultivation."
"Tianchi Mountain is shrouded in energy tides all year round. Every ten years the energy tide pours into Tianchi on the top of the mountain, making Tianchi a holy place for cultivation. Monks can therefore reach the top safely. If the energy tide is forced to break through, the entire Tianchi will be triggered.
When a mountain erupts, even a saint will fall under the bombardment of terrifying energy."
"During the ten-year period, monks at or above the Celestial Realm realm were still unable to enter because they were too powerful and began to integrate the energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, Tianchi became a holy land for monks below the Celestial Realm realm. Whenever it was opened, countless people would flock there.
Go."
"But there are too many monks, and there are more than hundreds of millions of monks in the world. Even under the sky, there are countless people. Everyone comes to share a piece of the pie, and everyone can get very little. So the major universities in the two states closer to Tianchi Mountain
The imperial sect then united to occupy Tianchi Mountain and allocate quotas to their own geniuses."
"Two states?" Zhou Xing asked.
Chen Yucheng explained: "Mainly it is our central and northern regions of Yanzhou and the central and southern regions of Jizhou. The folk customs in Jizhou are strong and the monks' living environment is even worse. In fact, it has created more strong people, so Jizhou has always accounted for 60% of the quota. Our Yanzhou
Only 40%."
"How is it? Are you excited?" Chen Wenle came closer and smiled.
"It would be a lie to say that you are not interested," Zhou Xing said truthfully, "but will your royal family members agree to let an outsider like me occupy a quota?"
"Why are you an outsider? You are my good brother," Chen Wenle thought for a while and then said, "If it doesn't work, you can also adopt my previous suggestion."
"What proposal?" Chen Yucheng's eyes were sharp. She would not accept being fooled.
Chen Wenle hesitated and hesitated, but in the end he could only tell everything in detail, which made Chen Yucheng couldn't help but sigh: "I am really convinced by you."
"I am fighting for all the power I can get." Chen Wenle said forcefully.
"I'm too lazy to worry about you. I'll go check on the replacement first." After saying that, Chen Yucheng left directly.
In the days that followed, Zhou Xing stayed in the palace and shared Chen Wenle's training resources. The use of various elixirs, spirit gathering formations, etc. quickly improved his strength.
On this day, Zhou Xing had just completed a stage of training when Chen Yucheng came to find him.
"Grandpa Huang wants to see you, come with me."
"Old Emperor?" Zhou Xing was puzzled, "Did he decide the places to go to Tianchi Mountain?"
"No," Chen Yucheng said, "Of course this was originally decided by my father, but there was some resistance to changing the candidate, so I had no choice but to go to grandpa to make the decision."
It seems that the situation in the Chenxu Dynasty is very complicated!
Zhou Xing sighed in his heart, and then followed Chen Yucheng to the depths of the palace. There was a mulberry forest here, and a simple bamboo house was built in it. People couldn't believe that this was the residence of the old emperor of the dynasty.
"You are here." An old voice came from Chen Mofan's mouth. At this time, he looked dozens of years older than at the birthday party, like an ordinary centenarian.
"grandfather."
"I've met the old emperor."
Chen Mofan looked at Zhou Xing and said straight to the point: "Tell me about your origin."
Zhou Xing's heart tightened. Chen Wenle didn't even know his past. He only knew that he was from Qingzhou, and he didn't ask.
Then Zhou Xing relaxed again. He had no evil intentions, so what was he afraid of? So he told everything truthfully.
Chen Mofan showed admiration on his face: "It's amazing that you can come here from such a remote place. Seeing you reminds me of my old self."
"Many years ago, when I was young, I was just an inconspicuous one among many princes. No one took me seriously, and she was the only one who stayed with me..."
Chen Mofan did not continue speaking. When Zhou Xing saw his expression of sadness and nostalgia, he understood that the person he was talking about was no longer there.
"I can see that your spiritual root is only of the eighth grade. I wonder what kind of skills you have practiced, but you can actually completely suppress the thunder power of that boy from the Tianyang Dynasty?" Chen Mofan continued to ask.
There was a look of embarrassment on Zhou Xing's face. This was his biggest secret. When Chen Yucheng saw this, he quickly said: "Grandpa, how can you ask such a thing?"
"It's just a joke," Chen Mofan said with a smile, "If possible, I would like to use a skill to exchange with my friend. I believe you will be tempted, but unfortunately I am not qualified to use that skill."
What kind of technique doesn't even the old emperor Chen Mofan have the qualifications to use? Zhou Xing was very confused and curious.
Chen Yucheng was surprised and said: "Grandpa, you are talking about that skill, that is..."
Chen Yucheng did not expect that the skills practiced by Zhou Xing could be compared with that skill, which she was not qualified to touch now.
"That skill is called Xi Huang Ming Soul Sutra. Our Chenxu Dynasty only has a part of it. This is not a secret that cannot be told." Chen Mofan paused and continued, "Let's get back to the topic. You have to get the chance to go to Tianchi."
Shan's quota, as long as you become the emperor's consort, I will immediately make the decision and promise you."
"Grandpa, why do you still make such a request? Then why should I come to you?" Chen Yucheng indeed regarded Zhou Xing as one of his own.
Chen Mofan chuckled and said: "None of the girls in our Chen family have the appearance of a fish out of place, which obviously gives this guy an advantage."
Zhou Xing said helplessly: "Old Emperor, I really don't have this blessing, so I'd better not mention this matter again."
"Okay, okay," Chen Mofan stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm not in a hurry anyway. You can think about it slowly. I will promise you the choice. My words are still of some use."
Zhou Xing was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and then left the mulberry forest with Chen Yucheng.
After the two left, Chen Mofan looked to the north, as if he could see millions of miles away through endless space.
A shadow appeared silently in the bamboo house and faced Chen Mofan respectfully.
"How's it going?"
"It's not completely certain yet, but there are indeed signs of disaster, and several major holy religions near Gonggongtai have begun to worry."
Chen Mofan looked up to the sky and sighed: "Under the glory of this world, there is an unknown amount of blood and tears buried. If disaster sweeps the world, can our Chenxu Dynasty survive..."
There is no doubt that when Zhou Xing replaced Chen Wenle and occupied a spot to go to Tianchi, various voices immediately came out in the palace.
As the tenth son of the current emperor, Chen Wenle also has a good sister who can compete with the eldest prince for the throne. Chen Yucheng secured a place for him. Others were dissatisfied and did not dare to express their dissatisfaction, especially those from the eldest prince's lineage.
People just looked on with a cold eye on this. In their eyes, Chen Wenle was just a waste anyway.
But Zhou Xing is different. After the battle at the birthday banquet, he is now so popular that he has overshadowed many princes and princesses, second only to the eldest prince and Chen Yucheng.
And all idiots know that Zhou Xing is a member of Chen Yucheng's family. Even if the eldest prince doesn't say anything, those around him can't remain indifferent.
However, they also heard that this was agreed by the old emperor, and his attitude was firm and could not be refuted. So how could they stop Zhou Xing from going to Tianchi Mountain?
In the eldest prince's residence, several old men gathered together to discuss how to deal with Zhou Xing's variable.
They are all aides who have followed Chen Zhexia for many years. Some of them are members of the royal family, and some come from various parts of the Chenxu Dynasty. Their strength may not be considered top-notch, but they can advise Chen Zhexia and deal with the situation when he becomes the crown prince.
stumbling blocks, and each one is absolutely loyal.
"He is just a junior who has just reached the Tianwu Realm. Even if he has unlimited potential, it will be possible for him to catch up with His Highness's realm in the future. It will only be a matter of years and months. By then, the battle for the throne will have been settled, and there is no need for us to spend so much effort.
Are you going to deal with it?" A slightly younger man said, not regarding Zhou Xing as a big threat.
Zhou Xing had just broken through to the Tianwu Realm, and he only went to see the old emperor Chen Mofan outside. These people knew about it immediately. This shows how far their intelligence work has gone. They will know about any troubles.
The old man who was the oldest among the group and obviously had the highest status scolded: "Short-sighted, if that junior continues to show his impressive talent and improves his realm, some neutral people will think that Chen Yucheng ascended the throne only then."
It is what is most beneficial to the dynasty. If you end up supporting Chen Yucheng, it will be a great disadvantage to His Highness the First Prince."
"If a woman insists on competing for the throne, I think she should be married off as early as possible. Unfortunately, the marriage proposal of the Crown Prince of Tianyang Dynasty was mercilessly rejected by the old emperor. Otherwise, even if this matter fails, as long as there is a little room left,
, it is also a fatal point for Chen Yucheng."
"It was the old emperor's so-called fair competition attitude that made her such a success, otherwise there would be nothing to do with her."
Among the chatter, someone had a strange look on his face: "If Chen Yucheng really became the emperor, wouldn't he include Zhou Xing and his wife in the harem? Even if it's just a title."
"Ahem..." The old man with the highest status interrupted these random discussions, "We are going to discuss how to deal with Zhou Xing today, not for you to complain... It is best to let him die young!"
"How about using 'dust poison'? This poison is colorless and odorless, and it is difficult to detect with spiritual power or soul power. Moreover, it has never been used before. It will definitely make him die inexplicably."
One person shook his head and said: "With how much attention Zhou Xing receives now, how could he have been able to hide it from the investigation? Moreover, he is now closely following the tenth prince, and has affected the tenth prince. It is not enough for all of us to sacrifice our lives, and the eldest prince cannot escape.
"
"We are not alone on Chen Yucheng's side. As the saying goes, it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty..."
"Haha, I think what this sentence says is that Chen Yucheng is pretty much the same as the people who always want to be around her."
"In my opinion, let someone go directly to challenge Zhou Xing, but this candidate needs to be carefully considered."
"Sneeze!" In the beast forest, Zhou Xing suddenly sneezed. Looking at Chen Wenle who had just gotten up from the ground not far away and rubbing his butt, he said: "Who is scolding me? You won't be able to lose.
Bar?"
"You make me so sad. Even though I was beaten violently by you just now, my heart is full of admiration for you!" Chen Wenle quickly cried out, with tears in his eyes.
"Why don't I believe it?" Zhou Xing looked at Chen Wenle and was very suspicious of his words.
"You two, stop making trouble." Chen Yucheng walked over and said.
"Your black thunder is stronger than the ordinary ninth-grade spiritual root, but it is not enough to face the holy body. It is not easy to upgrade the spiritual root to ninth-grade. Now you can practice some body refining or soul aspects.
Martial arts.”
Zhou Xing nodded. When he first entered Wucheng Academy, he practiced a body-refining martial art called Golden Body Technique, but it was far behind his pace. In terms of soul, the Star Points Yao Soul Sutra only had
It enhances the effect of soul power, but he speculated that there should be at least one page of gold paper recording the method of using soul power.
