Prince 152 thought that he would definitely die. When he was in despair, he suddenly felt a lightness all over his body. He found that all the Gu insects died instantly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He trembled and stood up with difficulty. He first took a handful of elixirs to suppress the injuries and toxins in his body, and then bowed his hands to Chen Hao and saluted: "Thank you for your mercy, His Highness Eighty-sixth. I am not good at my skills. I am very ashamed and have to admit defeat!"
The remaining Gu insects suddenly disappeared, naturally it was not for no reason, Du Xueqing must have come to the rescue.
After all, it was just a discussion, and Du Xueqing would not really kill him.
Du Xueqing waved her hand: "You're welcome."
The spectators secretly sighed. Although they didn’t know what the third game was about, it was a fact that they lost.
They have tried their best to stop Du Xueqing, but so far, they have all failed.
I don't know if they are too unlucky or if Du Xueqing is very lucky.
"Father, the competition between sons and ministers is over."
Prince 152 saluted Emperor Xuanqing again. Seeing that the emperor did not respond, his eyes darkened and he slowly retreated.
He was very disappointed.
Although he lost to Du Xueqing in the Gu technique competition, it was impossible for Emperor Xuan Qing not to recognize his level.
However, Emperor Xuanqing said nothing and had no intention of expressing appreciation for him, let alone giving him a reward.
This was completely beyond the expectations of Prince 152.
This competition was really thankless. Not only did he fail to win the eighty-six, but he also lost many precious Gu insects and suffered backlash. Moreover, he did not win the favor of the emperor. It was a waste of time.
In addition, afterward, Eighty-Six was very likely to secretly spread the information that he knew how to bewitch, causing others to be suspicious of him, and causing a lot more trouble.
Prince 152 originally wanted to silence Du Xueqing afterwards to prevent the secret of his bewitching skills from being exposed. However, after this competition, he immediately knew that Du Xueqing's bewitching skills were far superior to his. I am afraid that silence will not work. There is still a possibility.
Being counterattacked by the opponent.
He made many mistakes with one move, and he regretted it very much.
"One five two."
Suddenly, Emperor Xuanqing stopped him.
Prince 152 suddenly felt happy and responded quickly: "My son is here."
Emperor Xuanqing suddenly called him. Could it be that something had changed.
Emperor Xuanqing looked at him, his eyes meaningless, and said slowly: "How long have you been practicing this skill?"
Prince 152 said: "I can't remember the exact time when I returned to my father. It probably took several hundred years."
Emperor Xuanqing nodded: "You have been able to practice to this level for hundreds of years, which shows that you have put your heart into it."
The 152nd prince was even more happy when he heard this. The emperor's words were obviously a compliment.
Naturally, he would not show it, and said humbly: "Thank you for your father's praise, but I don't dare to accept it. Compared with His Highness Eighty-sixth, I am still far behind, otherwise I wouldn't have lost completely."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "You don't have to be modest, you have indeed done a good job.
But I would like to advise you... don’t practice anymore, just give up."
Prince 152's face froze.
"Why?"
he asked in shock.
I originally thought that the emperor would appreciate it and give me a reward, but I didn't expect that it would be a slap in the face.
Emperor Xuanqing said meaningfully: "Do you know why your art is good in all aspects, but there are very few practitioners in Dasheng?"
Prince 152 had countless thoughts running through his mind and said, "I don't know, please teach me."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Because it has too few benefits and too many negative aspects."
Prince 152 was confused: "Father, son, minister... I don't understand a bit. Can you explain it in more detail?"
Emperor Xuanqing smiled and answered the question unintentionally: "The reason why you stood up to compete with 86 is because you saw that 293 and Chang 877 have received my attention and received benefits, so you stepped forward.
And come out?"
Prince 152's face became embarrassed and he hesitated: "Father, the main purpose of my sons and ministers is to support other royal families..." Emperor Xuanqing interrupted him and said: "Yes means yes, no means no,
Even if you stand up to compete because you see benefits, what's the harm in speaking out?
If you don't punish yourself for yourself, how can you find a high-sounding excuse to support others? I can't see it and say you are hypocritical?"
Prince 152 was exposed and his face turned red: "Yes, Father, I admit my mistake. I did see His Highness 293 and His Highness Chang 877 demonstrating various arts of cultivation, and they were appreciated and rewarded by you.
, so my heart is moved.”
Emperor Xuanqing said: "And you also think that the level of skills you master is far better than that of 293 and Chang877. Since they can get benefits, then you don't need to mention it, right?"
Prince 152 said awkwardly: "Father, your eyes are as bright as a torch."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "Of course, you have other little thoughts, but I won't embarrass you by saying them out loud. Do you know that 293 and 877 have little mastery of their respective cultivation skills?"
Gao, why do I reward them so generously?"
The 152nd prince said: "I don't know, my father, please make it clear."
Emperor Xuanqing said: "As I said just now, because the various cultivation arts they know have high benefits, such as the spiritual planting technique of the 293th Society, it does not help the cultivation strength, but it is like elixirs.
Assisting cultivation is of great benefit to the court, and even to a larger extent, it is a good thing for all cultivators, because promoting spiritual plants is equivalent to promoting the food that we cultivators can eat and promoting the development of our cultivation."
"The same is true for Chang Baqiqi's Object-Keeping Technique. Promoting the Puppet Technique can greatly reduce the casualties of the imperial court. It is also very good to deal with the zombie monsters, the natural enemies of all living things, in a targeted manner. It is also very good to fight against the various strange talents of the Wanman tribe.
the touchstone.
It is not easy for us to cultivate a powerful cultivator, but it is not very difficult to use resources to create a puppet, so for the court, puppetry also has many benefits."
"Of course, there are many people in the imperial court who know both the spiritual planting technique and the puppet technique, and there are also many people who are better than the two of them in terms of skill.
So why do I still reward them like this?
Because they are the top royal family and can bring a huge demonstration effect."
"I rewarded the two of them and encouraged them to do these two skills, which represents my attitude. After the people below know about it, they will naturally respond to each other, forming a cluster effect and promoting the development and growth of spiritual planting and puppetry.
Thereby strengthening the imperial court’s strength and changing the situation on the battlefield.”
"Of course, this can't be done overnight. Even if it shows its effect, it will be a long time later. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and someone has to do it and promote it."
"The best way to start is to set a benchmark, gather influence, and drive."
"Do you understand?"
...Plop-plop-plop... After hearing this, Prince 293 and Prince Chang 877 immediately fell to their knees: "Father, the Holy Ming."
Everyone bowed in unison: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
