Chapter 916: Remaining Poison from the Last Session
Mr. Ming Jing summoned him, so naturally Chu Chen didn’t want to delay. After bathing and changing clothes, he was summoned to the imperial palace.
Before setting off, Chu Chen did not forget the little ghost boy.
The clone [Five-Colored Dream Dragon] is currently suppressing the demons outside the realm in Damengzhen Township, so it is not convenient for him to show up to protect the little devil.
Immediately, he plucked out a cold hair, blew a breath, and used the method of "Blow hair to become a tiger" and the "Laojun Sun and Moon Four Symbols Bagua Mirror" to keep one body, and immediately turned the cold hair into a "Chu Chen Incarnation"
", stayed in the clean room to protect the little devil.
This magical power is a bit like the method of the Monkey King.
This can be regarded as the benefit of improving the realm of Taoism.
He knows everything, and as his level becomes higher, his methods become more mysterious and magical. When an ordinary spell comes into his hands, it has the magical effect of turning decay into magic, without sticking to the formula.
Of course, the "clone" method in front of me is relatively low-level.
In the future, he will practice super skills and turn the hair on his body into gods. When the time comes to use this clone technique, the clone will no longer be a decoration, but a powerful supernatural power that can penetrate the heaven and earth and subdue all the immortals and gods.
After leaving behind a "mana incarnation", Chu Chen took another [Golden Lotus Seed] from the Bracelet Fairy Mansion and gave it to the incarnation, leaving it for the little devil to break through.
A few years ago, he and Han Chen went out to hunt for treasures and got twelve golden lotus seeds. He divided six of them.
Master Xu Ping, Fire Dragon Alchemist, and Qingying each used one. He broke through to the third level smoothly without using golden lotus seeds.
Therefore, he still has three pills in his hand.
Among them, there was one pill that was originally prepared for the little devil to reach the third level. I didn't give it to the little devil at that time because I was afraid that it would be greedy and eat it for no reason, thus wasting the natural resources.
Now, the little devil has an epiphany, and the opportunity for breakthrough has arrived. As long as he waits for the epiphany to be over and eats a golden lotus seed, he can officially reach the third-level fairy child realm.
.....
Starting from the Imperial Capital Taoist Temple, we rushed all the way to the Imperial Capital and entered the city...
Along the way, Chu Chen only felt that he was being noticed.
Maybe the scene of him killing Tianyi Hou with his flying sword was witnessed by too many people and was too shocking. He couldn't go out in seclusion for the past few days and accompanied the little devil to break through. However, the outside world had obviously spread.
Whether they were disciples of the Taoist academy, doctoral students, or Taoist masters practicing in the Taoist academy, when they saw Chu Chen leaving the cave, they all looked at him with mixed looks of surprise and curiosity.
Especially those who had listened to Chu Chen's sermons before were all even more excited, looking at Chu Chen with eyes full of admiration and respect.
Lectures on the scriptures can be made in a profound and simple way, and the subtle meanings can be said, which can certainly make you famous.
However, due to different personal ethics, cognitions, and levels of attainments in classics, everyone has different opinions, and it is difficult to convince everyone.
However, the results achieved this time using Taoism and magical powers are extremely convincing.
A Taoist monk who has high attainments in Confucian classics and alchemy may not necessarily have great Taoist and magical powers, but if he has strong Taoist and magical powers and has attained alchemy, his attainments in Confucian classics will certainly not be bad.
The entire Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, no matter how they viewed Chu Chen before, looked at him with a little more awe this time.
When they arrived at the gate of the imperial capital, the gate guard Xu knew in advance that Chu Chen was summoned by the emperor and went out to greet him personally. He seemed to have lost the arrogance of the imperial capital gate guard in the past. He was really respectful.
With the title and strength of Marquis Tianyi, he is their immediate boss when he joins the imperial army.
The death of such a big shot in the military is undoubtedly a big earthquake for the military, and everyone is paying attention.
...
Royal Palace Garden.
"Meet sir!"
Chu Chen was wearing a blue Taoist robe, without complicated patterns, elegant and clean, no different from ordinary Taoists in the outside world, but there was an extraordinary and refined aura about him.
Especially because he killed the Tianyi Hou with his flying sword a few days ago, his otherworldly aura revealed a bit of formidable aura, with restrained edge.
"Ling Xiao, no need to be polite."
Under the flower garden, Mr. Ming Jing sat upright, looking at Chu Chen, with a thick smile on his face and in a very good mood.
After looking at it, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Half a year ago, when Chu Chen came to Beijing, he didn't see any clues. He only felt that Chu Chen had a profound background and good Taoist and magical powers. After a few more years of hard work, he could be reused and become his right-hand man.
When I saw Chu Chen again, he was obviously the same person, but his senses were very different.
At the moment, Chu Chen stood there, his body upright, and his whole body was like a sword soaring into the sky, with its sharp edge clearly visible.
"Come here, give me a seat!"
As Mr. Ming Jing finished speaking, a woman in palace clothes flew from the garden like a butterfly through flowers, carrying a chair and placing it under Mr. Ming Jing's side.
When Chu Chen saw the chair, he didn't say thank you for sitting down at the first moment. Instead, he bowed and cupped his hands:
"I didn't tell you first, Sir, Immortal Court. I killed the Tianyi Marquis with my sword without permission, and broke the laws and regulations of the Immortal Court of Heaven. Please punish me sir!"
Under normal circumstances, for a noble prince of Tianyi Hou's level, let alone killing him on the spot, even if he wanted to conduct an investigation, it would only be carried out with the consent of Mr. Ming Jing or the real person of Tianshi Yulou.
Essentially speaking, it was against the rules for Chu Chen to kill Tianyi Hou with his sword.
Of course, Chu Chen apologized, but in his heart he did not regret his decision.
The situation was urgent at that time. He was investigating whether there was a dragon vein in Xiaochi Snake Mountain. He happened to be peeped by Tian Yihou. The other party wanted to kill someone and silence him. The two sides were fighting each other. Either you die or I live. Naturally, he had to take action with all his strength.
To be kind to the enemy and to respect the rules is to be cruel to oneself.
As for immediately reporting the clues to "Little Red Snake Mountain" to Mr. Mingjing and Mr. Yulou, this is in line with public rules.
It's just that this is a mediocre move.
That day, Yi Hou Nie Zhen was already frightened because of his entry into the game. He "killed the chicken to get the eggs" to refine the Little Golden Dragon of Luck. He reported the matter seriously and followed the normal process. When the superiors took action, the Little Golden Dragon of Luck might be further persecuted.
By that time, the day lilies were cold.
In fact, even if Chu Chen reported it to Mr. Mingjing and Master Yulou at that time, I am afraid that the two of them would have ordered him to take a look at the situation immediately.
After all, he is now a third-grade monk with great supernatural powers, standing at the top of the world of immortality. He is no longer the little immortal official he used to be. He is the one who holds up the sky on his own, instead of reporting it to others whenever something goes wrong.
On the contrary, he was the target of being "swayed".
Of course, Chu Chen still didn't report it immediately, but had to investigate.
There is no other reason. He hurriedly reported to the superiors when he was not sure, and questioned the princes of the imperial court at will. When the time comes, under the eyes of Qinglong, he might have made a mistake and made a mistake. It would be a huge embarrassment for others.
Leave a bad impact such as "not keeping promises", "retaliating against Fengminghou Mansion", etc.
After all, his identity was extremely sensitive at that time.
In order to help Baiyundong, the Han family came forward and went to Fengminghou Mansion to argue about the fate of "Little Red Snake Mountain". After taking the money, they made a small report. Once the matter was not confirmed, it was a frivolous matter, and outsiders thought he was fighting for "Little Red Snake Mountain".
"Little Red Snake Mountain" failed, and he deliberately retaliated and did this kind of villainous behavior, which made Mr. Mingjing and Master Yulou look down upon him and felt that there was something wrong with his character.
At that time, even if he wanted to defend himself, it would be of no use and he would be labeled as a "despicable person".
After two lifetimes, having been together in the workplace and in the Immortal Court for many years, Chu Chen would naturally not do such reckless things.
Overall, Chu Chen may not have handled the emergency perfectly this time, but from his point of view, there is generally no problem. If he were asked to make a decision a hundred times, he would make the same decision.
In fact, Mr. Ming Jing's current reaction is extremely favorable to his killing of Tianyi Hou with his sword.
It can be seen from the granting of seats. In the past, it was the Master of Yulou who was qualified to grant seats in front of the emperor.
On the one hand, this means that Chu Chen has entered the palace and officially entered the stage of Dachang Celestial Dynasty. It also shows the attitude of Celestial Dynasty Immortal Court.
Of course, when Chu Chen met Mr. Ming Jing, he still followed the rules to apologize and give himself layers of armor first.
"Hahahaha~ Ling Xiao, what are you guilty of? You handled it very well this time. You can only take credit for it, and there is no blame for it."
Mr. Mirror laughed loudly and was in a great mood.
A few days ago, during the fight, after the Xiao Chi Snake Mountain trap formation was broken, Chu Chen used the [Laojun Sun and Moon Four Symbols Bagua Mirror] Shouyi method, and immediately used the [Xianting Elder's Order] to challenge Yulou Zhenren and Mingjing.
The husband reported the matter and blamed the evil slaves of Fengminghou Mansion for bringing trouble to the place. He was asked by Song Jian to come forward and negotiate with Fengminghou Mansion, and then revealed the whole story of the cause and effect of the discovery of Dragon Vein.
Subsequently, the Celestial Court of Heaven apparently also confirmed it.
After laughing loudly, Mr. Ming Jing stroked his beard, his face full of joy:
"God has really blessed me with great prosperity. Fortunately, Ling Xiao, you discovered the clues and took action in time. Otherwise, the losses to the Celestial Empire would have been huge this time."
Chu Chen sat down at Mr. Mingjing's gesture. After hearing Mr. Mingjing's emotion, he suddenly became curious:
"Sir, how is the lucky golden dragon?"
Mr. Ming Jing said calmly: "The current situation is good. Under the care of the Qi Luck Ancestral Dragon, the Qi Luck Little Golden Dragon in Xiaochilong Mountain has regained its vitality, escaped the danger of stillbirth, and then integrated into the Qi Luck Golden Dragon.
There is no external force that can threaten us."
The Luck Golden Dragon is an artifact of the country and is extraordinary.
Generally speaking, the Dragon Veins that have just been born and are alone are the most dangerous. They are unable to survive alone and are in danger of being trapped, swallowed, and enslaved by others. But once they return to the Celestial Dynasty and are under the command of the Ancestral Dragon, surrounded by dragons and outsiders making decisions, then
It's an act of seeking death.
Precisely because the dragon veins were saved, Xiao Chi Snake Mountain suddenly became "Little Red Snake Mountain" and its status skyrocketed.
Speaking of this, Mr. Ming Jing was so happy that he couldn't help but sigh:
"What a pity. After being devoured and refined by Nie Zhen, the foundation of the little red dragon was damaged, and its potential dropped a lot."
After saying that, Mr. Mirror raised his hand, and a scroll flew out in the air.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly took it with both hands. Under Mr. Ming Jing's instructions, he slowly rolled out the scroll.
This scroll is clearly a map of the Little Red Snake Mountain.
Well, to be precise, it is the main vein and branch distribution map of Xiaochilongshan Dragon Vein.
After passing through a group of Xianting masters who were good at the art of Qingwu Kanyu, the dragon vein diagram was clearly presented in front of Chu Chen. In addition to the main vein of "Little Red Snake Mountain", there were also more than a dozen large and small ones within a radius of two to three hundred miles.
The branches are quite large in scale.
On this dragon vein map, there is also the "Original Dragon Vein Deduction Map" deduced by Xianting Gaogong. Its scope is even larger, and the farthest branch can reach seven or eight hundred miles.
Among them, Yunwu Mountain, where Song Jian Baiyun Cave is located, is also on the "Original Dragon Vein Deduction Map" and is a branch of the Dragon Vein.
It's a pity that everything is gone now, and Song Jian and the Liu family's "dream of getting rich through demolition" came to nothing.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was the Celestial Empire. The Dragon Vein was a beautiful place in the world. Once the Dragon Vein was formed, it would be rich in heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It would be a cornucopia that could greatly enrich the national treasury.
In addition, the return of the Luck Little Golden Dragon to the Celestial Dynasty can improve the Celestial Dynasty's luck, boost the energy of the dragon and tiger, enhance national power, cultivate more elite troops, and overall enhance the strength of the Celestial Court.
Unfortunately, because Tianyi Hou Nie Zhen jumped over the wall and madly devoured and refined the dragon veins for his own use, the dragon veins were damaged and the expected profits were greatly reduced.
When Chu Chen saw Mr. Ming Jing's face full of pain, he immediately understood that his superiors had no objections to his decisive execution of Tianyi Hou, and instead praised him greatly. This matter was urgent and there was no way to delay it. If it were delayed, the loss would be even greater.
"Alas~ Yi Hou was so bold that day!"
Chu Chen shook his head with regret on his face.
"Little Red Dragon Mountain" gave birth to dragon veins and gave birth to little golden dragons with good luck. This is a manifestation of the improvement of the national power of the Dachang Dynasty over the years. Tianyi Hou devouring and refining the dragon veins for his own use is a complete treason and rebellion against the country!
"Who says otherwise!"
Mr. Ming Jing spoke in a leisurely tone, with a somewhat meaningful look in his eyes.
"Fengminghou Mansion's family is not the ones who are bold."
When Chu Chen saw this, he faintly heard that there was something in Mr. Mingjing's words.
However, this matter probably involved the secrets of the highest level of the Celestial Court, so he did not ask rashly.
After all, it was okay for him to ask about the lucky golden dragon before, but he would know it if he went out and asked around later.
Mr. Ming Jing glanced at Chu Chen, shook his head, and said:
"Ling Xiao, speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with you."
Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Sir, what does it have to do with me?"
Mr. Mingjing said leisurely: "Ten years ago, when the artifact was changed to the tripod, the bloody disaster shocked the heavens. The previous generation was afraid that the gods would be corrupted. In order to protect themselves, they tried to win over the Fengming Hou Mansion and all the heroes.
Expensive, the top sect of Immortal Sect."
"A group of nobles were already in charge of military power and had the authority to mobilize part of the country's land, dragons and tigers. Then, they used their military merits to receive numerous rewards, and they were so powerful that they could not be lost..."
Mr. Mirror did not name anyone.
However, Chu Chen could hear that every word he said was referring to "Emperor Lingwei" and the previous Immortal Court.
In fact, at the beginning of the world's great power, Taizu and the nobles shared the world, and the ministers and nobles had considerable power. Later, the court continued to weaken and strengthen the centralization of power, and only then did the momentum of the nobles be suppressed.
Ten years ago, during the Incident in the Imperial Capital, Emperor Lingwei became greedy for the divine weapon and was unwilling to give in in order to achieve immortality and become a god. This led to his nepotism and laid many pitfalls for the superior Mr. Ming Jing.
Right now, Fengminghou Mansion is a microcosm.
After Chu Chen heard this, he was slightly shocked.
Obviously, this is a competition at the highest level of Dachang Dynasty. Now, Mr. Ming Jing mentioned this to him.
On the one hand, it means trusting him, but on the other hand, it also means that Chu Chen has officially entered Mr. Ming Jing's inner circle.
"Sir, could it be that Marquis Fengming has the courage to rebel because he respects his troops?"
"That's not true. I've been wary of him for a long time. He can't cause any trouble. Now, Fengminghou has handed over his military power. He himself will return to Beijing in the next few days to plead guilty."
Mr. Ming Jing, who originally looked serious, now smiled:
"I have long wanted to find an opportunity to attack them, but unfortunately, one move can affect the whole body, so it is difficult to take action. Now is an opportunity."
Devouring and refining dragon veins is a serious crime of stealing the country and harming the interests of the people of the world.
Taking down Fengminghou Mansion is a matter of course. No one dares to join forces in this matter and plead for Fengminghou Mansion. Whoever pleads is an accomplice.
With great righteousness, it is natural that every action will be unfavorable.
Mr. Ming Jing was in a pretty good mood at the moment. He looked at Chu Chen and said:
"Ling Xiao, your little fairy boy is here. I heard that it has performed meritorious deeds again, foretelling that Tianyi Hou will be punished by heaven in advance. Yes, yes, I want to reward this little fairy boy well and let him come out and kowtow.
..."
Chu Chen's expression suddenly became extremely exciting: "This..."
