Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth mortal star
Qiongqi Canhun looks like a mediocre-looking man.
But on the outside, she turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman.
This was difficult for Xu Zhiqiong to understand. He wanted to continue asking, but Li Shabai didn't want to answer.
He didn't want to recall anything related to Qiongqi's appearance.
Standing by the window, watching the singing and dancing on the deck, Li Shabai silently stared at the prince in the crowd.
"What an ambitious young man. Let's see what kind of emperor he can become."
Xu Zhiqiong poured a glass of wine for Li Shabai: "Tomorrow I will test my cultivation in Canglong Palace. Taifu is crazy, I don't know if it will work."
Li Shabai took the wine glass and took a sip with a rather bitter expression: "Xu Qianhu, the wine you cook is not much better than your tea art.
You don’t have to worry about what will happen tomorrow, since Li has said it beforehand, he will definitely help the prince cover it up tomorrow.”
Xu Zhiqiong was quite worried: "The Ninth Five-Year-Old Lord and the Lord of a country, King Jin has already seen the throne. It's hard to say how much preparation he will make."
"Let him prepare," Li Shabai smiled lightly, "As long as it is a mortal means, Li will let him take action!"
…
At midnight on the next day, all the ministers gathered in Canglong Hall.
Taibu arrived first and placed a white jade Ruiming Tower in the center of the hall.
There is no difference between the White Jade Ruiming Pagoda and the ordinary Ruiming Pagoda, except that the materials are precious and in line with the royal status.
Taibu was well dressed and behaved as usual, with no sign of madness at all.
Liang Jixiong glanced at Taibu from time to time, fearing that he might suddenly become ill.
Taibu looked at the prince from time to time, as if to indicate that he had arranged everything.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the strange Taifu, and then at He Fang standing next to him.
The prince's cultivation test was scheduled to start at Chen hour, but King Jin never showed up.
Liang Jixiong sent people to urge him several times, and at about midnight, King Jin finally arrived at Canglong Hall.
As soon as King Jin entered the door, Liang Jixiong's throat burned.
He was sitting on a sedan chair and had to be carried in.
Even when Emperor Zhaoxing was alive, he would not dare to enter the Canglong Palace like this.
"I am old, so my steps are a little late, and I walk slowly. I'd like to thank you for waiting."
King Jin slowly got down from the sedan chair and hugged his fists towards Elder Shengwei. Liang Jixiong returned the gesture symbolically.
The Taibu stepped forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Jin, everything is ready. We should test the prince's cultivation."
"There's no rush," King Jin smiled calmly and looked the divination up and down, "I see that you look good today. You must have encountered some happy event."
Taibu was startled: "Where does the joy come from? Your Highness, please give me some advice?"
King Jin smiled and said: "Taibu, I heard that the twin stars of your Taoist sect are gone, and now you have the highest cultivation level in Yin and Yang Taoism. Do you think this is a happy event?"
Liang Jixiong's eyebrows immediately stood up.
This old thief is really on fire!
But Taibu didn't get angry or crazy, and still had a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness King Jin also understands celestial phenomena?"
"I don't know much about it," King Jin said with a smile, "Can you please give me some advice as to how this double star of life and death will disappear?"
"The stars change for their own reasons!"
King Jin said, "Tell me, what's the reason?"
Taibu said with a mysterious face: "This is a heavenly secret. I dare not tell His Highness about it, for fear of ruining Your Highness's life."
King Jin's smile disappeared, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Taibu. He is eighty-six years old this year, and this joke is the one he can't tolerate the most: "Old man, just do the math, how many years do I have left to live?"
Taibu twirled his fingers, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to talk about the year, and it's not easy to calculate the month. Let's talk about the sky, three days, five days at most... It seems that there are only so many days."
"How dare you, old man, be so arrogant! Take it down, left and right!" King Jin was furious and ordered his men to get the divination.
None of his men came forward.
Capture Taibu?
They are not crazy yet.
King Jin grabbed Taibu and cursed loudly.
Liang Jixiong exerted strong pressure, forcing King Jin to lower his head.
When the pressure passed, King Jin raised his head and cursed again, only to find that he was holding a wooden stake in his hand.
Taibu stood five feet away and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Jin, how do you like this wood? Can I make you a high-quality longevity wood?"
King Jin's face was ashen, he turned his face and said to Liang Jixiong: "This man has committed the crime of disrespect, do you care or not?"
Liang Jixiong stared at King Jin.
The ministers also looked at King Jin.
How disrespectful!
According to the "Da Xuan Law", disrespect is a serious crime, which refers to treating the emperor without courtesy.
No wonder King Jin behaved so arrogantly today, he had already considered himself the emperor by default.
King Jin also felt that he said this a little too early, and changed his tone and said: "He is disrespectful to the royal family and should be severely punished!"
Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin with a fierce look in his eyes.
King Jin looked disdainful and waved his sleeves: "This matter will never be settled. Let's wait until Yuyang has tested his cultivation!"
Taibu pointed at the White Jade Ruiming Pagoda and said: "Everything is ready, just waiting for His Highness King Jin to bear witness."
Liang Jixiong nodded: "Yuyang, please do as Taifu tells you."
Logically speaking, since the ceremony was performed in Canglong Hall, Liang Jixiong should pray to the true God.
But there is no need to pray today.
The prince was cheating, and he didn’t want the true God to know, let alone have his prayers come true.
The prince was about to reach the Ruiming Pagoda and stretched out his hand when he suddenly heard King Jin shout: "Wait a minute!"
Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin, his eyes almost sparkling.
King Jin said calmly: "I am standing here today. Among you, there must be a few people who are unhappy, and there must be a few people who still want to hope that the prince will ascend the throne. I advise you to get rid of these thoughts as soon as possible.
No one can change the rules of our ancestors!"
While speaking, King Jin looked at Liang Yuyang: "Yuyang, you are a good fighter, and you have indeed made many military exploits. After I ascend the throne, I will make you a general. The achievements you have made, the historian
I will write down a lot of money for you. I have treated you with all my kindness and kindness. If you still have any sense of shame, leave now and don't bring shame on yourself here."
The prince laughed and said: "King Jin, do you think that my cultivation level has passed the seventh level?"
King Jin looked at the prince and said with a deep smile: "Yuyang, if you admit it now, I will let it go. If it is found out later, after I ascend the throne, I will be punished for deceiving the king. Don't blame me for being ruthless.
"
Yan Anqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "His Royal Highness King Jin, please be careful when speaking. The new king has not yet ascended the throne, and the crime of bullying the king cannot be abused."
Wang Yanyang, the imperial censor, said: "Even if King Jin ascends the throne, today's affairs come first and the king's affairs come later. How can he deceive the king's name and punish the prince?"
What the old censor meant was that even if King Jin became the emperor, and the prince deceived King Jin first, and King Jin became emperor later, it could not be considered as deceiving the emperor at this time.
Xu Zhiqiong sighed softly in his heart.
Old censor, I'm really worried for you.
How can you follow King Jin’s train of thought?
King Jin looked at Yan Anqing and Wang Yanyang and smiled ferociously: "Since you know that I am about to ascend the throne, why are you still talking so much? Don't you even understand the rules of being a minister?"
Yan Anqing remained silent. If King Jin ascended the throne, he would resign immediately. He had a hunch that his actions after taking the throne would be even worse than Emperor Zhaoxing.
Wang Yanyang was about to open his mouth to argue, but Qiu Dongcai pulled him from behind.
Qiu Dongcai didn't give in, it was because it was pointless to argue now.
If King Jin becomes the emperor, it will be meaningless to say anything.
He Fang, who was standing behind Liang Jixiong, bit her lip. She was glad that she agreed to Xu Zhiqiong's suggestion. If King Jin conquered the world, he might really destroy Daxuan within a year.
When Li Shabai was in the tea house, he could clearly hear the conversation in the Canglong Palace. There was a scroll hidden in He Fang's sleeve, which allowed Li Shabai to use his skills from a distance.
Li Shabai raised his pen and drew a white jade Ruiming Tower on the scroll. He thought about it for a moment, then put the pen aside.
King Jin is confident, let's see what methods he can use.
The prince did not argue with King Jin, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "After all the talk, when are we going to test our cultivation?"
King Jin looked at the prince and said: "Yuyang, I really pity you. You are really ignorant. Let me ask you again. I know that you have a sixth-level cultivation. Do you admit it or not?"
Liang Yuyang didn't want to listen to King Jin's nagging anymore, so he directly put his hand on the Ruiming Tower. The Ruiming Tower lit up three levels, indicating that the prince had a seventh-level cultivation level.
Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin and shouted, "What else do you have to say?"
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone looked at King Jin with ridicule. Several censors moved their jaws, ready to drown King Jin with a mouthful of clear water.
King Jin shook his head, looked at Liang Yuyang and said, "You are really stubborn! Get the Ruiming Pagoda!"
With an order, four guards carried him up to a black jade Ruiming Tower.
They placed the Ruiming Pagoda in front of Liang Jixiong, and one of the guards looked up at Liang Jixiong.
Liang Jixiong's head was trembling, and he always felt as if he had seen this guard somewhere.
Looking at the black jade Ruiming Pagoda, Liang Jixiong asked King Jin: "Why is this?"
"Elder Shengwei, Taibu had tampered with the Ruiming Pagoda in advance and has been discovered by me. I have brought another Ruiming Pagoda here. Do you dare to test Liang Yuyang's cultivation level again?"
Liang Jixiong gritted his teeth and said, "You said Taibu had tampered with Ruiming Pagoda. What proof is there?"
King Jin smiled and said: "What, Elder Shengwei also wants to cover up for the prince? Do you dare to test it on that white jade tower?"
Liang Jixiong really didn’t dare.
The White Jade Pagoda has been tampered with by Taifu. If it is detected that it is not of the third grade, it will be broken.
King Jin smiled and said: "If you are open-minded and let the prince test it again on my tower, what's the harm?"
Liang Jixiong said: "What if you did something on the tower?"
King Jin said to everyone: "My lords, anyone who has the ability to cultivate can come and give it a try. Let's see if my Ruiming Tower is accurate?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Liang Jixiong stepped forward and pressed his hand on the top of the Black Jade Ruiming Tower.
The flames burned from the first floor to the seventh floor. Liang Jixiong had a third-level cultivation level and his measurement was very accurate.
King Jin did not tamper with the tower.
Liang Jixiong looked at Taibu.
Taibu stared at the Black Jade Ruiming Pagoda, his cheeks trembling.
The white jade Ruiming Pagoda is pure white and flawless.
The black jade Ruiming Tower is dark and crystal clear.
The two Ruiming Towers, one black and one white, show a strange light.
The divination has broken the defense.
King Jin did not forget to ask: "Taibu, does this look like the twin stars of Sheng and Ke?"
Taibu lowered his head.
Can't count on him anymore.
It is not easy for him to stand here steadily.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at He Fang.
He Fang touched the scroll in her sleeve.
The scroll trembled slightly, and Li Shabai responded.
Just leave this to me.
He has already drawn this black jade Ruiming Tower on the scroll.
The prince walked to the black tower and put his hand on the top of the tower.
The first layer of candles lit up, and the flames were more dazzling than in the White Tower.
A smile appeared on King Jin's face.
The candlelight on the second floor was lit, and King Jin slowly said to the prince: "Liang Yuyang, you have a sixth-level cultivation, and you have repeatedly denied and deceived the world. How do you have the face to stand in front of the ministers? How do you have the face to stand in front of the ministers?
Under the true God?”
The candles on the third floor lit up, and King Jin shouted loudly: "Masters, look carefully!"
Everyone stared at Ruiming Tower with their eyes widened.
The fourth floor of the tower is dark.
King Jin's expression gradually solidified, and smiles appeared on the faces of the ministers.
Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin and shouted: "Liang Huaiyu, why are you blind? How can this be the sixth level of cultivation?"
King Jin remained silent and looked behind him with his peripheral vision.
The guard who glanced at Liang Jixiong smiled.
The fourth floor of the Ruiming Tower is already lit, but no one can see it.
Li Shabai applied a layer of ink on the scroll to the fourth floor of the Ruiming Tower. The ink blocked the firelight in the tower and deceived everyone present, but it could not deceive the guard's eyes.
The guard's brows trembled. On Li Shabai's scroll, the ink began to melt slowly, gradually revealing flames.
Li Shabai casually filled in a piece of ink and sensed this powerful opponent.
Just as the ink stains covered the flames, the scroll suddenly tore apart, and a surge of domineering energy burst out from the cracks.
Li Shabai quickly dodged, but at this moment, because the scroll was damaged, Ruiming Tower had lost control.
Seeing that the fire on the fourth floor was about to appear, Li Shabai stretched out his hand and took out a new scroll in the air. With a wave of his hand, the tower shape was completed, and with a stroke of brush, the fourth floor of the tower was blackened.
In the Canglong Palace, the fourth floor of the tower was still dark, and King Jin was sweating coldly.
The guard's smile remained unchanged, but he was working hard secretly.
Cracks appeared again on Li Shabai's scroll, and the Ruiming Tower was about to lose control again. Li Shabai took the inkstone and sprinkled the ink in the air. The ink circled and formed a vortex, drawing out the domineering energy first.
The inkstone immediately shattered, but the scroll was saved and the four-story pagoda remained dark.
The guard blinked.
Li Shabai focused his attention on the four-story tower and did not want to be on the top of the tower. One eye suddenly blinked.
Li Shabai was suddenly choked and couldn't move any joints in his body.
The skill of Pan Python!
The ink stains on the scroll slowly dissipated, and the flames were about to appear.
Sitting in front of the scroll, Li Shabai's joints were bound, his face was purple, and he could not move at all.
He seemed to be completely blown away by the guard brought by King Jin.
There is a crisp sound!
Li Shabai's right arm was broken.
Two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes, and Li Shabai cried.
Tears quickly gathered on his face and turned into the shape of a finger.
The finger flew out from Li Shabai's face, stabbed hard at the top of the tower on the scroll, and hit the eye on the top of the tower.
In the Canglong Palace, the guard suddenly covered his right eye, and blood seeped out from between his fingers.
At the same time, Li Shabai broke free from the restraints, picked up the brush with his left hand, and added an ink mark on the scroll.
The Ruiming Tower on the fourth floor is still not lit.
The guard murmured: "This man can be called a mortal star king."
Everyone waited for a long time, but the fourth floor of the Ruiming Tower never came on.
The prince took his hand back.
King Jin was dumbfounded.
Liang Jixiong looked at King Jin with a ferocious expression: "Taibu, you just said, how many days does King Jin have to live?"
Taibu thought: "It should be three to five days."
Liang Jixiong shook his head and said, "I think you made a mistake in calculating it. It's too long."
King Jin turned pale and looked back at the guard, who had disappeared.
Li Shabai sat in front of the scroll and saw four more words on the picture:
