When the spring rain falls, hundreds of grains grow, which is the beautiful scenery of late spring in the world.
At this time of year, the wind should be high and the air should be crisp, but there will be clouds and rain, and the world should not be groggy.
But for some unknown reason, dark clouds have always been shining over Xuandu these past few days, and lightning flashes occasionally, creating an extremely depressing atmosphere.
The dark clouds seemed to be brewing for heavy rain, and seemed to lead to a storm, but for some reason, several days passed, and the heavy rain never fell, nor did the storm come.
The weather was uncharacteristically hot and muggy.
Occasionally, the wind blows, accompanied by a strong fishy smell, just like the sea breeze.
Many old people in Xuandu feel that something big might happen in Taixuan Capital.
There are also legends that only a real dragon that can turn clouds and rain can cause such a battle. Perhaps it was Duke Jing Guo who asked for help for the people who finally angered the Dragon Lord of Taichong mentioned in the memorial, causing the Dragon Lord to be dissatisfied.
, that’s why we have such a beautiful weather.
It can be seen from this that even though most of the people in Xuandu did not read or write, they were not stupid.
Taichong Longjun has indeed come to Taixuanjing.
But he hung in the clouds and mist outside Taixuanjing for seven full days, without entering Xuandu. He just waited respectfully for the Holy Lord to summon him.
But the displeasure of this Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon was already known throughout the city.
The heavy dark clouds in the sky and the heavy rain were enough to prove that Taichong Longjun was already furious.
In Taixuan Capital, there were also monks from the court who went to pay a visit to Dragon Lord Taichong in the clouds and mist. Since their return, there have been many different opinions in the court.
"Long Jun came in person, knowing that he had not clearly identified his guilt, and did not dare to enter Xuandu for politics. Instead, he waited outside Xuandu, respectfully waiting for the summons of the Holy Lord. This can prove that the Dafulong clan headed by Taichong Longjun,
He is truly loyal to Da Fu and the Holy King."
"But in the final analysis, Beique Hai and Xiyun Hai have done wrong things, and they have paid the price. A dragon king died in Beique Hai, the Dragon Palace of Xiyun Hai was destroyed by Jing Guogong, and the bones of the Dragon King of Xiyun are still in the river.
The road is stained by the soil from wind and rain.
The price paid by Dafulong is actually enough. If the people who died in the Blood Sacrifice Formation knew that the two dragon kings died as a result, they would probably be able to rest in peace."
"That's the truth, but the final result depends on the Holy Lord's intention. An Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon... If you really want to punish him, it will hurt his muscles and bones, but it will be considered a loss."
…
Various opinions surged like a torrent under this storm.
Since Lu Jing wore the white jade Chihu court uniform, went to court once and handed over a memorial that shocked the entire Taixuan Capital, he returned to his small courtyard that seemed a bit shabby in the eyes of most people.
The Thirteenth Prince would visit and listen to lectures from time to time.
Occasionally, a few ladies from the Lu family, a few gentlemen from the library, and scholars would come to visit.
Apart from this, Lu Jing seemed to be in seclusion, having no contact with others and never taking a step out of the empty mountain alley.
It was not until the seventh day after Guyu that news finally came from the palace, ordering Taichong Longjun to enter the capital and enter the palace.
As a result, many practitioners of the sixth realm and above looked up and felt amazing fluctuations in vitality.
One after another pure Yang thunderbolts stirred wantonly in the vitality, the dark clouds in the sky burst into mysterious light, and the cyan light shone in time and space, turning into the reflection of a heavenly dragon.
That day the dragon's reflection was entrenched in the sky, stretching from east to west, probably tens of thousands of feet long.
When those who practice Yuanshen see the reflection of the heavenly dragon and the pure Yang thunder flashing on the reflection, the Yuanshen trembles in fear.
This is the power revealed by the high-level soul, which makes them uncontrollably want to worship.
And those martial arts monks with strong blood and powerful bodies dare not look at the phantom of the dragon, for fear that if they take one more look, they will be frightened away by the extremely long body of the dragon!
This scene is extremely rare even in Taixuanjing.
Every once in a while, the Dragon King of Taichong, like the other sea dragon kings from all over the world, would enter Taixuan Capital to have an audience with Emperor Chongtian.
But when Taichong Longjun entered Taixuan Capital in the past, he always came and went without a trace. There had never been such a big battle.
Naturally, the ministers and generals in the court knew what this formation represented.
In the small courtyard of Kongshan Lane, Lu Jing still stayed behind closed doors.
Ordinary people cannot see the vision in the sky, but practitioners above the sixth level can see it clearly. The phantom of the sky dragon has not disappeared for a long time, and dark clouds have gathered around the phantom of the sky dragon, exuding a heavy and rich power.
Taichong Longjun entered Taiqian Palace and went to the court.
But the strange thing is that Emperor Chongtian did not go to court for several days. Jiang Baishi, the chief minister of Taishu Pavilion, was infected with the cold again. The person in charge of presiding over the court meeting was Sheng Ruzhou, the second minister of Taishu Pavilion.
Sheng Ruzhou specially sent the Diao Temple in the palace to Kongshan Lane of Yanglu Street to ask Duke Jing Lu Jing to go to the palace to question Taichong Longjun.
Yu Dongshen, the crown prince of Chong'an, was also invited to the palace.
Yu Dongshen still wore the silver armor and entered Taixuan Palace, but he did not bring the heavenly halberd with him.
But what is surprising is that Duke Lu Jing of Jing State, who personally wrote the memorial, denounced the guilt of dragon blood sacrifices in the world, and pointed the finger at the Dragon Lord of Taichong, only sent back Diao Si who came to invite him, but He has never come to the palace to question Taichong Longjun.
This puzzled all the ministers and generals in the court.
"This is strange for Duke Jing Guo. In that memorial, he wrote it impassionedly. Could it be that the whole world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. In that memorial, Lu Jing even called himself a "deficit and agitator" Heart.
I want the sage to purify the sun and the moon, cultivate the mountains and rivers, and question the Dragon Lord of Taichong.
Now it's good, Taichong Longjun entered Taixuanjing in response to the Holy Lord's edict, and was questioned by the officials in the court.
On the contrary, Duke Jingguo stayed behind closed doors and did not dare to go to the palace. He was somewhat..."
"Somewhat ridiculous?"
"Don't say too much. Lu Jing has the rank of a duke. Only you and I can say that?"
"I told him in my own house, he is the Duke of the country, how can he still listen to my house? After all, the power of Taichong Dragon Lord Eight Realm Tianlong is too strong. Although Lu Jing is the genius of the world, even if it is the genius of the world, , and always have to be wary of stronger and stronger ones.
I think it's just because Lu Jing saw the power of Lord Tai Chong that he didn't dare to go to the palace, so it doesn't matter."
…
Another seven days.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Every day when the ministers went to the palace, the Dragon King of Taichong was already waiting in the palace.
Yu Dongshen also went to court every day, but his behavior was also very strange. He just looked coldly at Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and many other ministries questioning Taichong Longjun without saying much.
Sheng Ruzhou invited Lu Jing seven times in a row, but Lu Jing still never came to court.
It was not until seven days later that Duke Jing stood before the throne of the Holy King, and the matter of Wen Shen and Taichong Longjun finally came to an end.
Just like what the ministers and generals in the court thought...
When Sheng Ruzhou stood in the middle of the Taiqian Palace, he announced with an expressionless face that the North Que Sea Dragon King and the Xiyun Sea Dragon King should be held accountable, and the Beique Dragon Palace and Xiyun Dragon Palace should be held accountable.
Two dragon kings who had been dead for a long time were convicted.
Many blood sacrifices in the Beique Sea, the West Cloud Sea, and even the Five Directions Sea were all done by these two dragon kings.
He also ordered Ao Jiuyi, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and Feng Zhuhe, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, to immediately conduct a thorough investigation of their respective sea areas and the Dragon Pan Formation.
As for Taichong Longjun, as the leader of Wufanghai, he is also responsible for being lax and careless in his subordinates.
Taishu Pavilion, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment quoted scriptures and strictly followed many legal books to determine the punishment for Taichong Longjun's "consideration".
On the day of the punishment, Taichong Longjun did not go to the palace because of illness to show his dissatisfaction.
This matter... took more than half a month and ended here.
The storm in the city never came, but it was in line with the speculation of the ministers of the DPRK.
But even with such a painless punishment, Taichong Longjun may feel that he has lost face and is extremely dissatisfied.
But no matter what, if Sheng Ruzhou presides over the court and imposes punishments, Taichong Longjun will have to suffer.
So on the eighth day after Taichong Longjun entered the palace, and on the second day after Sheng Ruzhou's judgment, the Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon still went to Taixian Palace to receive the judgment in person.
"Beique Sea Dragon King and Xiyun Sea Dragon King were both convicted, and Dafu Chaotang was defined as a demon dragon. Although they are dead, they are still the second of the five sea dragon kings.
Although Duke Jing Guo did not go to court for this inquiry, his goal can be regarded as achieved."
"The Dafulong genus was punished and Taichong Longjun lost face. Although the purpose of Jing Guogong's memorial was achieved, if you think about it carefully, the Dafulong genus did not pay any price at all.
Taichong Dragon Lord is in Taichong Sea on weekdays, so thinking about it for a year is considered a punishment?"
"This is already an excellent result. Do you expect Dafu Chaotang to rush to Taichong Longjun, the head of the Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon, at this juncture?"
"Having said that, wouldn't Duke Jing Guo suffer a big loss in this way?
After this incident, Taichong Longjun and Duke Jingguo will definitely fight to the death. When the day comes when Duke Jingguo survives the thunder tribulation, I'm afraid..."
"Huh? This letter says that Taichong Longjun went to Kongshan Lane of Yanglu Street to ask for an audience with Duke Jing."
"Surprisingly, has this happened? Has Duke Jing Guo ever met Taichong Longjun?"
"Taichong Longjun stood at the entrance of Kongshan Lane with his hands behind his back for a full hour, and Duke Jing Guo never saw him.
At noon, Taichong Longjun is still in front of Kongshan Alley, and Jing Guogong is still behind closed doors."
There was a brief silence in the east hall of the huge mansion.
Then there were sighs.
"Taichong Dragon Lord is not an ordinary real dragon after all. Jing Guogong is young, and when he saw such a vision of a heavenly dragon, he felt a little frightened in his heart, but it is nothing."
"No matter what, the young prince has to be tempered and frightened, so that he can grow up.
Otherwise, if his advanced cultivation and extraordinary status do not match his impulsive nature, he will inevitably suffer big losses in the future."
…
At the entrance of Kongshan Lane, Yanglu Street.
The Taichong Dragon Lord has his hands behind his back, his green robes swinging in the wind, and wisps of rich mist flowing on his green dragon horns.
The mist rose into the void, covering up the sky and filling half of Taixuanjing with dark clouds.
With a slight smile on his face, he looked at the small courtyard in Kongshan Lane.
The gate of the small courtyard was closed tightly, and there was never any reply.
"Abandon this grand battle and lure me to Xuandu, but you don't dare to see me in the palace, and you don't dare to invite me to the hospital. You just lose half of my face?"
The smile on Taichong Longjun's face gradually deepened, and he looked sideways.
Then I saw that on Yanglu Street, the huge Jingguogong Mansion had already taken shape.
Many buildings have risen from the ground, creating a majestic scene.
Especially the east hall of Duke Jingguo's Mansion is square and square, with many wood carving masters carving carefully.
Taichong Longjun suddenly became interested when he saw this scene. He saw his fingers move slightly, and a ray of vitality spurted out, and immediately landed on the boulders in the courtyard. The boulders flew up and were instantly refined into a ball.
Smoke and dust flew up from the huge bricks, and then turned into a giant dragon in an instant.
The giant dragon stood in front of the east hall of Duke Jingguo's residence. It was soaring in the clouds and mist. It opened its mouth and seemed to spit out fire and melt the most important east hall in the palace!
"This Tianlong statue...even if I give it to Jingguo as a gift from the public palace."
Taichong Longjun fluttered his sleeves and took another deep look at the small courtyard in Kongshan Alley. It was not that you barged in, but just turned around and left.
"Lu Jing, when the west tower in the sky falls to earth, you and I...will see you again."
"That's right, I'll come to you again in exchange for half of my face."
"It's just that Taichong Hai has a lot of face, but he wants to repay it with your life."
Taichong Longjun's spiritual thoughts drifted away and fell into the small courtyard of Kongshan Alley.
On the site where Duke Jing's Mansion was built, a statue of a celestial dragon stood there, leaving many craftsmen at a loss.
The small courtyard in Kongshan Alley is as quiet as ever.
Taichong Longjun left Taixuanjing.
Duke Jingguo never showed up.
The statue of a celestial dragon that is about to swallow up the east hall at the site of Duke Jing's Mansion represents that in this confrontation, Duke Jing is not the winner.
The young Duke went to court for the first time and handed in a memorial for the first time. The turmoil seemed to have ended here.
The Seventh Prince Yu Xuan Tower, Duke Chu was happy to see its completion.
"It can be regarded as putting obstacles in front of him. If Lu Jing is always so impulsive, it will be much easier."
Luo Mingyue, the great master of Yuxing Island, has been in Taixuan Capital these days. She looked at Nan Heyu and Luo Shubai who were looking back frequently, with some confusion.
Luo Shubai thought for a while and said: "This matter is strange. With Lu Jing's temperament, when his cultivation was far inferior to what it is now, he faced the Dragon King of Xiyun to kill him, and faced several immortals who took advantage of him without changing his expression.
, no fear at all.
How could it be that when we arrived at Taixuanjing, with the title of Duke, and three stars reflected in it, two of which were even the Gouchen and Kunpeng Yuan stars, we became timid?
The Dragon King of Xiyun has magical powers, and Lu Jing is not afraid when he is about to die. Although the Dragon Lord of Taichong is stronger than the Dragon King of Xiyun, this is Taixuanjing after all. Does the Dragon Lord of Taichong still dare to kill Dang Jing in the street?
Duke?"
Luo Mingyue knew that her two disciples admired Lu Jing. After thinking about it, she also felt that what Luo Shubai said was very reasonable.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Nan Heyu frequently looking at the sky in the distance.
There seemed to be a strong wind blowing among the dense dark clouds there.
The sudden storm blew away the clouds and fog, bringing out a bit of clarity.
It's quite strange that the clarity is also accompanied by a bit of haziness.
"Junior sister, what are you looking at?"
Luo Shubai seemed to be aware of it and looked towards Nan Heyu.
Nan Heyu still turned his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
Behind her, the Jian Qianxiu Shui shimmered.
"I originally wanted to lend Qian Xiushui to...Mr. Lu Jing.
Qian Xiushui also seemed very willing to accompany Duke Jing on a journey.
It’s just that Duke Jing Guo was probably afraid of dragging me down, so he asked Brother Xuehu to bring this sword back.”
"What?"
Luo Mingyue frowned, and Luo Shubai couldn't help but ask.
Nan Heyu turned around, sat cross-legged on the futon, and said softly: "Mr. Lu Jing, he is no longer in Taixuanjing."
