Zhao Ning said as she walked, "It's an old friend, and my uncle has also met him."
Qin Keyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is it?"
"Mo Qingkun." He was the younger brother of the Mo brothers who followed Immortal Master Baiyun back then.
"I have some impressions. It seems that he entered Kunxu with Baiyun back then, and later became a registered disciple in the outer sect of Qingxiao Sect."
Qin Keyuan looked down at her, "Do you want to see an old friend?"
Zhao Ning thought for a moment and nodded. This place was only a few miles away from the residence of the Imperial Master mentioned by the young lady. They could reach it in an instant.
After Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan left, the rattan that originally blocked the boulder suddenly disappeared, and the boulder moved instantly. Fortunately, no one was around at this time.
These people watched as the boulder rolled, then rolled out of the official road and hit the low-lying area on the other side, forcefully spreading the low-lying area down three to four feet deep.
When Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan arrived at Qingzhu Garden, they noticed something strange. There were faint formation fluctuations in the mansion.
Everyone in the manor was busy as usual. They knocked on the door of Qingzhu Manor. The concierge told them that the master was not in the manor and asked them to come back later.
Facing the re-closed door, the two stood outside the door, but had no intention of leaving.
Zhao Ning's eyes seemed to see the formation hidden in the deep courtyard through the door.
"Why is there a soul-binding array in Mo Qingkun's mansion?" Zhao Ning asked hesitantly.
This kind of soul-binding array is usually used to imprison souls. Could it be that there are ghosts causing chaos in Mo Qingkun's mansion? But the fact is that Zhao Ning did not sense any ghost energy or resentment in the mansion.
Qin Keyuan suddenly whispered, "Is it a living soul?"
Zhao Ning paused and looked at Qin Keyuan, then the two of them appeared outside the formation at the same time.
The true energy circulates, the Zhao Ning Jue is cast, and a ray of spiritual light penetrates into the formation. The formation is rippled, and the waves spread out in circles, and the appearance of the living soul appears in the center of the formation.
"Mo Qingkun?!" This made Zhao Ning even more surprised. How could someone suppress his own soul in the soul-binding array in his own mansion?
Zhao Ning realized that there must be something wrong with this. Considering her previous interactions with Mo Qingkun, she thought that Mo Qingkun was not that kind of evil cultivator, so the aura bloomed instantly. It had no power at first, but now it was like a sharp blade. Directly split the soul-binding array.
Mo Qingkun's living soul was floating in the air, so illusory that it seemed like it was about to collapse.
Qin Keyuan raised his hand and pointed, and the living soul instantly got into the rockery as if it had received some guidance.
There was a dark room under the rockery, and Mo Qingkun's body lay there.
Mo Qingkun struggled to wake up, his eyes were confused, as if his memory had not been fully recovered.
He heard a slight noise, looked towards the door, and saw Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan who had returned to their original appearance.
The appearance of someone he probably knew was irritating, and Mo Qingkun's chaotic consciousness suddenly became clear. He almost jumped out of bed, "You, you, you, you are not..."
He walked in a few steps and said, "Shen Zhaoning, it's really you, why are you here."
He was still thinking about asking when he noticed another gaze. He deliberately avoided it because of fear, but because of the excitement approaching just now, he didn't avoid it at this moment.
With a pop, he knelt on the ground and saluted, "Young man, I have seen the Chief Qin."
He looked at Qin Keyuan tremblingly, "I didn't disturb the common customs. I just had a name in Dayue Kingdom. I have nothing to do with the affairs of Dayue Kingdom's court. Uncle Master, please watch me expose the plague in Dayue Kingdom." The hidden things have reduced Dayue Kingdom’s casualties, don’t punish the younger one, the younger one just wants to experience it.”
Listening to the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he didn't know what happened in Kunxu.
Zhao Ning paid attention to the situation in his words. Mo Qingkun seemed to be involved in the ghost fetus Gu.
"You said you exposed the hidden plague of Dayue Kingdom. How did you expose it? Just because of this, you became the national master of Dayue Kingdom?"
"That's about it. I showed them the magic talisman and killed a few wild beasts, and they began to believe in me more and more. As for the plague, it was actually a coincidence that I knew..."
Mo Qingkun suddenly opened his palm, and a bronze mirror appeared in his hand. During the pinching method, the scene of the ghost fetus Gu in the Yu family's old house in Yongfeng City appeared in the bronze mirror.
"...I thought that the plague was coming and the world would be in chaos again, so I came directly to Yuexiu Mansion to show the situation to the king. In addition, the king of Dayue Kingdom has been troubled by Zhengyang Guan for a long time in the past few years, so he Let me be the national preceptor of Dayue Kingdom to balance the Zhengyang concept."
At this point, Mo Qingkun suddenly slapped the ground, "I didn't expect that the people in Yuexiu Mansion who were watching Zhengyang were particularly powerful. Not only were they high-level Qi training disciples, but there were also two Foundation Establishment Stage disciples watching. Okay. When I borrowed Uncle Baiyun's contribution points from the sect to exchange for a soul-binding order, they couldn't do anything to me, so they forcibly separated my soul from my body and bound my soul in the soul-binding array!"
"I want the person in Zhengyang Temple to look good." He said a few words angrily, and then suddenly thought of something, "How many days is it now?!"
Zhao Ning looked at him and replied suspiciously, "It's the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Mo Qingkun was shocked, "Oh no! I'm going to miss the treasure-presenting banquet at Zhengyang Temple!"
Chapter 148
The Imperial Palace of Dayue Kingdom is magnificent. The banquet is in full swing at this moment. The dancers' clothes are fluttering, ribbons are flying, and their smiles are extremely moving. The ministers are enjoying themselves by changing glasses, but the Lord of Dayue Kingdom does not seem to be affected by this. Infected, instead, he kept looking outside with a little anxiety. During this period, he had asked the eunuch manager around him to send people out several times.
Zhengyang looked at Taoist Zou Shun, the head of the Dayue Kingdom, sipping his drink immaculately and seeing all this without reminding or urging him.
The dance music presented by the dance studio has passed three times, but the leader of Dayue Kingdom still hasn't waited for anyone.
"Why hasn't the Imperial Master come yet?!"
The monarch's face was gradually becoming impatient.
The chief eunuch heard his subordinate's report in a low voice, gave him a small kick, and bowed close to the king, "Master, let me report below, the master is not in Qingzhuyuan, I'm afraid he has gone on a trip."
"Didn't I tell the Imperial Master that there will be a treasure-presenting banquet today, and I asked him to come and help me with my eyes!" The Imperial Master's impatience turned into a bit of anger.
The chief eunuch quickly advised, "The Imperial Master is an immortal, he is carefree and at ease, so he may not care too much."
"As a national master, what else does he care about?!" The king knocked on the armrest of the dragon sculpture and then calmed down. He knew that he, an ordinary king, could not control the immortals who came and went, let alone Taoist Zou Shun from Zhengyang Temple was still sitting next to him, "Well, what time is it now?"
"It's already the beginning of the Youshi period, Your Majesty."
The king hesitated for a moment, turned slightly and asked Master Zou Shun, "Master Immortal, must this treasure be enshrined in the sky at sunset?"
Taoist Zou Shun put down his tea cup and was quite polite to the king, "That's not true. It's just that at sunset, when the turbid air from the sky and the earth sinks, the filthy breath can be suppressed and feed back the national destiny of my great mountain. It is the best way to promote the national destiny." At the right time, at night, the effect will be half-performed, and until the third watch, the turbid air will become even more chaotic, fearing that the country's destiny will not be improved, and it will further disrupt the country's destiny."
"What?!" The king was shocked, "It's so serious."
Taoist Zou Shun consoled him, "Master, don't panic. It doesn't matter if you are a quarter and a half late. It doesn't matter if you wait for the master."
"Don't wait any longer." The king's face darkened, and he waved his hand and called the eunuch manager beside him, "Start directly, don't delay the development of my country's fortune."
"The Lord of the Kingdom is a wise man." The chief eunuch praised flatteringly, then straightened up and clapped his hands with a serious look on his face.
The clapping sound was very soft, but everyone in the court heard it like thunder and immediately stopped. The officials and family members stood upright and respectfully, and the dancer bowed and exited the hall.
"The Holy Ming, recognized by the Immortal Master Zhengyang Guan, took the horn of the mythical beast Fei, which is the national treasure of Yuezhao Kingdom, and used the essence of the sun and moon to wash away the treasure's plague. Now I place the treasure on the top of Fengtian Palace to use the power of the mythical beast to promote our great mountain. The power of the country shakes up all directions and covets Xiaoxiao, and protects the prosperity of our Dayue Kingdom."
After the singing stopped, everyone in the hall knelt on the ground and shouted, "The Lord of the Kingdom is the Holy Ming, the Emperor of Humanity!"
The Lord of Dayue Kingdom stroked his long beard and nodded with satisfaction amidst the neat congratulations.
At this time, the chief eunuch raised his voice and sang again, "Please give me the horn of the sacred beast, the most precious treasure!"
The sound spread from the main hall to the outside of the hall, and then from outside the hall, the eunuch continued to sing, one after another, reaching far and wide.
"Zhengyang Guan Lu Shi presented the treasure!"
Someone outside the hall responded loudly, and for a moment everyone looked outward. It was undeniable that everyone at this banquet had been waiting for this moment.
I saw a Taoist wearing a dark purple Taoist robe holding a jade box high and entering the main hall step by step.
Countless eyes focused on the jade box. There seemed to be a flash of light on the jade box, and the outline of Fei's horn could be faintly seen in the box.
Taoist Lu Shi stood still and nodded slightly.
The Lord of the Kingdom stood up and raised his hand to support him from a distance, "Master Taoist, don't be too polite. It's really hard work to surrender the Supreme Treasure. Someone come and give me a seat."
Another precious chair fell to the right of the king, but Mr. Lu Shi did not climb the steps to sit on the high platform.
Taoist Zou Shun next to him also said, "We need to present the treasure to the top of Fengtian Hall later. Without further delay, how about your majesty take a look at the eye beast treasure directly?"
"Of course, of course." Upon hearing what Master Zou Shun said, the king nodded eagerly.
He sat back and said, "Master Lu Shi, please come quickly, please come quickly."
With everyone watching, Taoist Lu Shi had no expression on his face. A spiritual light flashed across his palm, and the jade box was suspended directly in the air. This move made the officials and family members in the audience marvel in admiration. The next moment, Taoist Lu Shi pinched the magic spell with his hand, and the magic seal entered. In the jade box.
While listening to several crisp sounds in the air, purple brilliance seeped out from the surface of the jade box. The brilliance became brighter and brighter, becoming more and more dense, until the brilliance connected and enveloped the entire jade box. The jade box seemed to disappear in the brilliance, and a Curved corners less than three feet appeared in mid-air. The corners were densely covered with cloud patterns, as if forming a circle of light on its surface.
But the Horn of Fei was fully present in the main hall, and everyone heard a vast and deep horn sound, as if it came from ancient times.
"Good! Good! Good!" The leader of Dayue Kingdom was so excited that he could not speak. All his praises were limited to the word "good".
The ordinary officials and family members in the main hall were even more excited and overwhelmed as if they had seen a miracle, until an official took the lead in shouting "Long live the Lord of the country, may the immortal master be blessed". A crowd of people in the main hall knelt down, the momentum and Even the Taoist priests at Zhengyang Temple could not suppress their aloof expressions due to their prestige.
Taoist Zou Shun reminded, "Sunset is approaching. Your Majesty will move outside the palace to pay homage?"
"Yes, yes, no delay!" The Lord Dayue could not calm down his excitement at this moment. He stood up and walked out of the palace on his own, striding like lightning. The eunuch in charge had to jog to keep up. The officials in the palace did not move. They waited respectfully. The Taoist from Zhengyang Temple went first.
Taoist Zou Shun walked down from the high platform and passed Taoist Lu Shi. As they passed each other, their eyes collided. Only the two of them could understand the sign of great success.
The two Taoist priests from Zhengyang Temple walked out, and then the officials rushed out.
Outside the main hall, the leader of the Dayue Kingdom looked at the Fengtian Hall. The roof of the main hall is a dome, and on the top is embedded a pearl from the East China Sea that the founder of the country got from an immortal. It is as big as his head. This pearl is said to have been the founder of the country when he founded the country. The key was to suppress the fortunes of the previous dynasties and attract the energies of all directions, making Dayue Kingdom the most vast and powerful country in the east of Kyushu in just three hundred years. However, in these one hundred years, there were many small countries around it. The other regional powers are provoking and provoking, and their national strength is declining day by day.
Just looking at the dim appearance of the Pearl of the East China Sea at this moment seems to indicate the declining situation of Dayue Kingdom.
The current leader of Dayue Kingdom is a mediocre person who likes to enjoy life and save face. If he removes the Pearl of the East China Sea, welcomes the sacred beast to the top, changes the fate of Dayue Kingdom, and leaves his name in history, wouldn't it be a great thing in his life?
The leader of the Dayue Kingdom couldn't wait to hear this, and quickly asked the Taoist Zou Shun beside him to hurry up.
Taoist Zou Shun narrowed his eyes and nodded, signaling to Taoist Lu Shi. Their eyes met again, and they understood some of the explanations.
Taoist Lu Shi held the Fei's horn in one hand and raised it high in the other hand. The aura inspired him, and the Pearl of the East China Sea on the top of Fengtian Hall echoed in the distance. It slowly rose from the top.
Just before he waved and took down the East China Sea Pearl, he heard an explosion.
"Zou Shun, Lu Shi! Accept your fate!"
Along with the words, a ray of green light wrapped in a flying sword went straight towards Lu Shi.
The officials who were originally watching the ceremony with excitement saw the offensive wave and were so horrified that they quickly dodged to both sides, forcibly separated a path, and the flying swords flew across instantly. The Lord of Dayue standing next to Taoist Zou Shun had never seen him before. This murderous intention made his legs weak and he collapsed directly on the ground.
Taoist Zou Shun's expression was filled with surprise and coldness. He pinched the magic weapon in his hand and directly cut off the flying sword attack.
The flying sword retreated, and the master of the flying sword landed on the ground, grabbed the flying sword, and stared at Zhengyang Guan and the two angrily.
"You two villains!"
The chief eunuch knelt down and crawled to the side of the leader of Dayue Kingdom in fear, trying to help him up, but the leader of Dayue Kingdom looked at the person in shock, "Guo...Guo Shi!"
Mo Qingkun glanced at the Lord of Dayue and became even more angry, "You actually started the banquet early without waiting for me to come. Do you know that you almost made the mistake of ruining the country!"
In the stiff "What" trembling voice of the Lord of Dayue, "This Zhengyang Guan has no good intentions and wants to use the horn of Fei to suck up the fate of Dayue Kingdom. It would be better for you to keep it in the dark and treat people as immortals."
