In a side hall of Xianyang Palace, a small pot is placed on each low mat, with charcoal burning underneath.
Milky white hot water is boiling in the pot, and the heat is dense.
Put all kinds of dishes into the pot, red, white and green, alternating colors, roll them and then you can eat them.
The ministers exchanged cups, and the meal was quite lively. It was the first time for many people to eat like this, such as Yu Gui, who had recently returned to Qin.
In terms of military merit in this attack on the Quanrong, Yu Gui was the leader. Her meritorious service of shooting and killing the leader of the Quanrong was unparalleled by anyone.
Zhao Huaizhong discussed rewards for meritorious deeds and asked her what rewards she wanted besides being promoted to the rank of ninth general in the Yeyu Mansion.
Yu Gui thought for a moment: "I hope your Majesty can give you some guidance on spiritual practice."
Zhao Huaizhong nodded in agreement.
During the dinner, Baiyao stepped forward and handed over a copper box. The old rule was that after raiding the Quanrong people, all the proceeds were sealed in the copper box.
Baiyao handed the box to Zhao Huaizhong skillfully: "There are a few special things. Your Majesty, look at the bottom of the box."
Zhao Huaizhong opened the copper box and took out an ancient scroll.
This ancient scroll is actually made of immortal brocade. It is silver-white and seamless, like cloth but not cloth, and is impervious to water and fire.
Zhao Huaizhong unfolded it slightly.
Inside the brocade cloth was a scroll, in which was painted the back of a woman.
Although it is only a back view and only a slight profile of the face is exposed, people feel that the appearance of the woman in the painting is full of charm and exquisite beauty.
Anyone who has seen the scroll will never forget the woman in the painting.
The so-called harm to the country and the people is probably like this.
Except for the woman's back, there is no signature in the scroll, and the rest of the space is blank.
"King Quanrong carried two things with him, and this scroll is one of them.
I suspect that this may be a portrait of Bao Si, the beloved concubine of King You of the Zhou Dynasty who was captured by the Dog Rong people. According to legend, Bao Si brought disaster to the country. The dress of the woman in the portrait also corresponds to the concubines of King You of the period."
Baiyao eloquently said: "King Quanrong was killed, and among the things found from his body, in addition to this scroll, there was also a jade ornament of a sacred bird from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
According to my analysis, it should also be the result of the Quanrong people slaughtering the royal family of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
Zhao Huaizhong searched in the copper box and took out the second item that Baiyao said King Quan Rong carried with him.
A jade ornament of a sacred bird from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The thing is not big, but the jade quality is very good, the touch is warm and the color is emerald green.
This jade piece shows the image of a divine bird flying into the sky. Its workmanship is ancient and clumsy, as if it were made from nature.
There is no flaw in the entire jade piece.
Zhao Huaizhong held the sacred bird jade in his hand, and the power of the saint circulated, unstained by dust, and the aura in the jade that had been passed down and explored by the Quanrong people from generation to generation was cleansed, and he used his own power to warm it up.
In a trance, there seemed to be a soft cry of a divine bird coming from the jade.
Zhao Huaizhong casually threaded the rope and pinned the jade piece to his waist, preparing to take it back and give it to Jiang Shu or Mu Yangjing.
Whoever it will be given to specifically, well, it will be given to whomever it meets first... Zhao Huaizhong thought for his own amusement.
There were several other items in the copper box. Zhao Huaizhong took a look at them and planned to use them for sacrifice.
After entertaining the officials, he returned to the study in the main hall of Xianyang.
Baiyao and Yu Gui also followed in.
Then there was Qi flowing out of the study room, and a formation diagram rose from the center of Baiyao's eyebrows, hanging in the sky above the Xianyang Hall, and was fluttering.
In the General's Mansion, Wang Jian, who had just returned from the banquet, turned to look at Xianyang Palace.
"The descendants of Lord Wu An will eventually achieve the status of Saint Killers. Our Great Qin will soon have one more Saint to kill the enlightened ones. It seems that there are only two people in the world..."
In the sky above Xianyang Palace, formation diagrams circulated and auras overflowed. Soon after, it was taken back to Baiyao's hands.
On that formation diagram, the power evolved and changed, and finally a pair of weapons and a pair of long swords appeared in the four corners of the formation diagram, guarding the four corners of the formation diagram respectively.
In the center of the formation diagram, a battlefield appeared.
Tens of thousands of soldiers are reflected in it, fighting against each other, showing many changes.
Zhao Huaizhong stretched out his hand and personally helped Baiyao sacrifice to refine the formation diagram.
After a while, Baiyao actually fell into the formation, where he fought with thousands of troops and horses, and experienced all kinds of will and skills in killing and fighting.
In the picture, he exchanges identities with countless soldiers and generals, as if he has spent a long time and experienced reincarnation again and again.
There is no sun or moon in the picture, the moment is like eternity.
Eventually, Baiyao emerged from the picture.
The array of images rolled back, turned into a little light, and disappeared again between Baiyao's eyebrows.
Between his eyebrows, the shadow of a long sword and a weapon appeared, flashing alternately, then disappearing.
Baiyao stood there with his eyes closed for a long time, motionless.
When he opened his eyes again, he slowly knelt down in front of Zhao Huaizhong: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for this generous gift."
Zhao Huaizhong said calmly: "If you want to practice this military killing formation diagram, you need to enter the diagram and match its qi.
I just helped you enter the map earlier. Even without my help, by this time next year at the latest, you can realize it on your own and absorb the killing will of thousands of soldiers in the map to achieve yourself and break through to the saint realm.
."
Baiyao bowed his head in response, his heart agitated with emotion and full of awe.
He cultivated the formation map day and night, studying its secrets for thirty years without any results. The Lord of Qin only borrowed the formation map from him once, and then he gained insight into the method of sacrificing the formation map and helped him achieve the position of Saint Killer.
This may be due to the fact that Zhao Huaizhong stood in the third realm of saints and had a high level of vision.
However, the Lord of Qin's cultivation qualifications, understanding talent, and even his own level of power are all awe-inspiring and admirable.
Like Baiyao, Yu Gui stood aside and watched, feeling it was incredible.
The Baiyao was taken into the void by Zhao Huaizhong, put into the formation, and released again in the blink of an eye, but its breath underwent earth-shaking changes, achieving a state that countless people dream of.
"Baiyao, you still need to go back to warm up the formation diagram for a few days before you can officially step into the lintel of the Saint."
Zhao Huaizhong said warmly: "If you want to become a saint, do you have any other requirements?"
"I have nothing to ask for."
Baiyao said: "The position of Ye Yu's Deputy Shi can best display the minister's strengths.
I only hope that I can go further in my spiritual practice in the future, help your Majesty, open up new territories for our great Qin, and create unparalleled achievements."
President Zhao nodded: "Go ahead."
Baiyao bowed and disappeared into thin air the next moment.
Zhao Huaizhong turned his attention to Yu Gui: "You also want to make a breakthrough in practice?"
"Yes." Yu Gui said respectfully.
After returning to Xianyang to attend the celebration banquet, she resumed her women's clothing.
She is wearing a long black floral skirt embroidered with clear water patterns, and a wide belt embroidered with dark red edges is wrapped around her waist, which makes her graceful figure and willow-like waist.
His face is also carefully decorated, his flawless facial features are very three-dimensional, with cloud-like hair on the temples, pink face and peach cheeks, moist lips, and a pair of beautiful eyes that make waves.
Zhao Huaizhong said: "Bring me the Heaven-Mending Diagram of your Heaven-Mending Sect."
A few months ago, Yu Gui led the Butian Sect to enter the Qin Dynasty. At that time, she handed over the Butian Sect's most precious treasure, the Map of the Mending Sky, to show her sincerity.
However, Zhao Huaizhong did not collect it, and the map of mending the sky was still in Yu Gui's hands.
The breath in her body was circulating, her sandalwood mouth was slightly opened, and a white picture scroll the size of a rice grain was spit out, with fairy light flowing around it, which was the picture of mending the sky.
This is an ancient inheritance of Butian Sect, and it has always been warmed and cultivated in Yu Gui's Dantian.
The sky patching diagram was spit out from his mouth, and then stretched and unfolded, turning into a size of about ten feet, and the fog on it was clear.
In the dispersing mist, a large snake with black and yellow scales vaguely emerged.
The big snake lies in the picture, as if lying in the middle of the sky and the earth.
His eyes were closed tightly, his body was coiled into a ring, and he was sleeping for an unknown length of time.
As soon as the patching of the sky came out, Zhao Huaizhong's consciousness sank into the image uncontrollably, and he felt an ancient and boundless majestic aura from it.
His consciousness seemed to be taken back to the ancient times when the world was first opened.
That big snake is obviously the legendary Nuwa who created mankind after the beginning of the world.
Zhao Huaizhong's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at the big snake in the picture and said slowly: "This picture of Mending the Sky is a visualization picture that contains infinite mysteries. Your practice and inheritance of the Heaven-Mending Sect are all derived from this picture.
"
After pondering for a moment, he added: "This picture should be more than one form of visualization.
Emperor Wa's snake body is in the shape of a ring, which symbolizes the cyclical nature of heaven.
When you advance to the saint realm, this picture will manifest into the second stage, and I guess it should be another form of Emperor Wa."
"This picture is called Butian, and your practice of Butian Sect requires you to rely on the royal authority in order to save the world.
So you came to Qin, because only I, Great Qin, can fight monsters and barbarians in this world, protect the prosperity of the human race, and it is most consistent with your cultivation path of Butian Sect."
Yu Gui seemed to be able to hear the pounding sound of her own heart.
Zhao Huaizhong seemed to know everything. From the Mending Picture, he could see the concept and foundation of the practice of Mending Sect.
Yu Gui inexplicably felt that she had been stripped naked (harmony) and allowed to be scrutinized by Zhao Huaizhong.
Of course, grilling here is not a verb, but an adjective.
"If you want to break through to the saint realm, you are heading in the right direction, but the time is not there and the accumulation is not enough.
Have you thought about it? If I help you, you can forcefully rush into the saint realm at this moment, but the saints who are born in advance are different from those who have been trained by Baiyao for many years and thousands of battles.
If you become a saint now, you will definitely regret it in the future." Zhao Huaizhong said calmly.
Yu Gui couldn't help but curse, the Lord of the Qin Dynasty would actually say such words as years of accumulation and thousands of battles, how long did it take for you to achieve your current state.
She hesitated for a moment, then took back the sky patching map, bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. According to Your Majesty's wishes, I should continue to accumulate, and there is no need to deliberately pursue faster breakthroughs?"
"Well, accumulation and a solid foundation are the right ways."
Zhao Huaizhong glanced at her, as if he could understand her thoughts, and said, "You and I are different too."
After Yu Gui retreated, Zhao Huaizhong began to deal with various state affairs in the afternoon.
At dusk, the sun sets late.
Lu Buwei walked in from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, regarding the affairs of the Zhao people, King Zhao is now being condemned by people all over the world, and there are many voices asking him to abdicate.
According to what Your Majesty sees, should I, Great Qin, secretly promote this matter?"
Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand and said: "We will not participate, let Zhao people handle it by themselves."
After Lu Buwei retreated, Zhao Huaizhong was about to return to Wuying Hall, when he suddenly felt the main mirror of the bone mirror in the small gourd vibrate, and there was news from the Saint Circle.
