Imperial Capital, East Palace.
In the East Palace, everyone from Zhan Shifu, Zuo Chunfang, You Chunfang and other East Palace chiefs to the golden-armored generals and guards were all cautious and did not dare to breathe.
There is no other reason.
Mr. Ming Jing, who came back from the Jinluan Palace, had a sullen face. Although he was not furious, anyone could tell that the prince was in a bad mood.
"Prince, Your Majesty is too disrespectful to you. He scolds you in public. How will you convince the public in the future?"
After taking their seats in the palace, East Palace Young Master Zhan Shi looked very ugly and couldn't help but murmur.
The rest of the East Palace officials, the great supernatural monks, the staff and the guests nodded one after another, all of them looking suffocated.
In the past, Mr. Ming Jing would have been reprimanded after hearing such nonsense about the Holy Father. However, this time he was silent, his eyes were dark, and he was lost in thought. In today's court meeting, what I did today was indeed a bit excessive. I was furious because of a trivial matter. Although he was not scolded in public, the people being scolded today are all his people. The affairs and various behaviors he is responsible for are undoubtedly slapping him in the face in public, reducing his prestige, and not showing due respect to him.
The enthronement ceremony is approaching, and he is about to take charge of the entire Dachang Dynasty. It is a critical moment to establish his authority.
According to the rules, the divine weapon of the state changes hands. Which emperor in the past has not tried his best to pave the way for the next generation of new emperors. If there is no opportunity to establish authority, he must try every means to create opportunities so that the supreme authority can pass peacefully. How can he be embarrassed in public at this critical moment? reason.
After all, the Dachang Dynasty was not an ordinary dynasty, and the relationship between the contemporary emperor and the prince was relatively more equal.
The closer the coronation ceremony is, the closer the status of the two parties is.
A new generation replaces the old, which is the final stage of the transition. The status of the prince is even slightly higher.
However, the situation in Dachang Dynasty is different this time.
The last Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty faced the test of the Zhongzhou Demonic Disaster, and its performance may not be good. Emperor Lingwei was unable to obtain the full support of the veterans and immortal officials of the dynasty, and his prestige and power increased instead of declining.
In other words, the main force that controlled the imperial court and the Immortal Court at that time was still closely surrounding Emperor Lingwei, with him as the core of power in order to deal with the uncertain situation that followed.
"What do you really want..."
Mr. Ming Jing's eyes were dark, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.
It is obvious that nowadays, the Immortal Court of Dachang Celestial Dynasty is divided, and many people have had second thoughts in life, breaking the rules and doing things against nature.
This time, Emperor Lingwei reprimanded and suppressed him in person, which was undoubtedly a kind of temptation and idle chess.
If the evil calamity is not eradicated in time, and the performance of the previous generation's imperial court is poor, the idle chess at the moment may very well become an excuse to flip the table, and then the prince will be incompetent and incapable of great achievements, etc. The dirty water will be poured out from all directions... ..
"Eh~"
Mr. Mirror sighed slightly, feeling quite heavy. It's not because of his personal future and interests. At worst, he will no longer be the prince. He is still a monk with great supernatural powers. He retreats from the world and practices hard to seek immortality. There are many ways out.
What he is really worried about is that once the gap is opened and the rules are broken, the society will be in turmoil.
In the east palace, there was deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop.
Everyone was clear in their hearts, but no one dared to open the discussion. Some were just silent and worried.
Just when everyone in the East Palace was silent, outside the East Palace, the sound of the golden-armored god general was heard shouting and singing.
Mr. Ming Jing, who was sitting quietly on the throne, heard the movement and learned that it was Master Yulou. His expression softened slightly and he heard from a distance with his spiritual consciousness:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, why are you in such a hurry? Is there another trouble?"
Recently, Mr. Mirror has been hearing bad news every day and little good news, and he has become accustomed to it.
When he saw Master Yulou coming in a hurry, he knew something was wrong and had an ominous premonition.
"Your Majesty, this is not trouble, but good news, great news!"
Master Yulou appeared in the hall in a flash, and hurriedly walked in with square steps.
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, I wonder what the good news is?"
Zhan Shi from the East Palace Zhan Shifu, who was also a third-grade great supernatural monk, was overjoyed when he saw the real person in Yulou, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Master Yulou saw Mr. Ming Jing, all his colleagues in the East Palace looked at him with curiosity on their faces. He immediately took out a ball of black and red Qi from his sleeve and placed it in front of everyone.
"This is..."
Mr. Ming Jing, all the monks belonging to the East Palace in the palace have great supernatural powers and have good eyesight. As soon as they saw the black and red Qi in the palm of the real man, they saw the clues, and each of them showed a look of surprise.
"This energy of origin of disaster seems familiar, could it be...
Master Yulou smiled calmly: "Exactly!"
Seeing such a firm answer from Master Yulou, Mr. Ming Jing, Dong Gong Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi and others were surprised.
The scenes that happened in today's court meeting were indeed frustrating, but ultimately, it was not that Emperor Lingwei and the current forces were greedy for human power, but that they were influenced by the demonic disaster and had two minds.
Once the demonic disaster can be resolved in time without affecting the performance evaluation of the heavenly court in the upper realm, then all problems will be solved.
Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers.
A moment ago, everyone was still worried that there was no way to break the situation. Unexpectedly, Master Yulou immediately gave him hope.
Mr. Ming Jing was beaming with joy and couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, you are really an unparalleled scholar in the country. At the critical moment, I have to look at you."
Zhan Shi, Shao Zhan Shi and other East Palace officials all looked envious after hearing Mr. Ming Jing's unabashed praise of Master Yulou.
"Your Majesty, how dare I take credit? The credit is not mine, but someone else's."
Master Yulou waved his hands after hearing this.
He is an open-minded person, not a greedy person who is greedy for the success of heaven, and he pays attention to seeking truth from facts in everything.
"Oh?" Mr. Ming Jing became interested: "Which Taoist friend is this handiwork? I must reward him generously."
"It's little friend Ling Xiao and his subordinate, the Little Fairy Boy." Upon hearing this, Mr. Ming Jing's expression suddenly became wonderful.
It's Chu Chen again.
It was precisely because of Chu Chen's insight into the demonic disaster that Xianting knew the seriousness of the demonic disaster and then paid attention to it.
Without Chu Chen's reminder, the evil disaster would have been much more serious and corrupt, and it might even have gotten out of hand and made great achievements.
Now, Chu Chen actually made another contribution. Mr. Mirror suddenly became curious and asked:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou, what's going on? Please tell me carefully."
Master Yulou smiled:
"This is what happened. This happened thanks to the little fairy boy under Chu Chen. He has the magical power of [mediating disasters]. Today Chu Chen went to Tianbaohui, Zhongzhou for business, and happened to meet the guest of the Ma family. The great elder, Old Man Shanyin, encountered a demonic obstacle, so he took action to protect the law. In the process, his subordinate, the Little Fairy Boy, saw at a glance that Old Man Shanyin possessed the power of Shen Fei's bloodline and had the ability to cause plague disasters."
"After receiving Chu Chen's report, I was afraid that something might happen, so I personally went to Zhongzhou, captured the old man of Shanyin, and brought him down in front of the Taoist Monument. Maybe it was God who blessed me with great prosperity, but the old man of Shanyin encountered another evil obstacle. , the Taoist heart was lost, and a flaw was revealed in front of the Taoist Monument..."
Following Master Yulou's explanation, Mr. Mingjing, Donggong Zhanshi, Shao Zhanshi and others all looked happy and fortunate.
I have to say that the whole process was extremely coincidental.
If it hadn't been for chance, the demon behind the deliberate plan might not have surfaced so easily.
"God bless me with great prosperity!"
Mr. Ming Jing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The master and servant are really lucky."
Master Yulou smiled and agreed.
This time, it was really the blessing of heaven's luck. At the critical moment, noble Tianyi came and everything went well.
After having important clues to solve the demonic disaster, Mr. Mingjing did not chat too much with the real person of Yulou. He made a prompt decision and summoned experts who were good at deduction and medical skills. He also called on all the forces of the Celestial Dynasty and the Immortal Court to start eradicating the demonic disaster.
The enthronement ceremony is about to take place, and the Kyushu barrier has long been opened.
Zhongzhou Barrier is no exception. It is closed inside and outside at all times, making it difficult to get out and enter.
The demon has sneaked into Zhongzhou and will be unable to escape for a while.
Previously, the reason why the demon disaster was unable to do anything was because the demon was hiding in the dark, and even if the Celestial Court wanted to take action, it could not find its opponent.
Now that the Celestial Court has clues about the "Qi of the Source of Disaster", it can immediately follow the clues to search for the demons who are behind the scenes and causing trouble, catch them in the jar, and eliminate them one by one.
Any matter, two sides of the same coin.
The demons penetrated deeply into Zhongzhou and caused a great demonic disaster. They severely defeated the Celestial Empire and almost shook the foundation of the Celestial Kingdom. Now that the matter is exposed, the backlash will follow, and a big price will inevitably be paid.
For a time, the entire Zhongzhou suddenly became lively, and there was movement in all directions.
The inner city of the imperial capital, Chen Mansion.
After returning from the "Tianbaohui" trade fair, Chu Chen was not idle. With the help of the Nine Nether Alliance, he spent millions of jade coins to buy a luxurious four-in-one house with a garden in the inner city of the imperial capital where the powerful gathered. , as the place where younger brother Pengju settles in the imperial capital.
This was Chu Chen's plan early on, and he had already entrusted the Nine Nether Alliance to help him find someone.
He wasn't in a hurry at first, but after learning that his younger brother Peng Ju was favored by his mentor Tang Boqing, and that the Tang Dynasty intended to betroth his beloved daughter to his younger brother, he became more and more concerned about the mansion.
After all, even if Tangzhou Mu didn't mind that Peng Ju's family was poor, the old Chen family couldn't let their daughter live in a small house with two square meters to live with Peng Ju and suffer.
After entering the small house, I am afraid that not even Miss Tang's maid can stay.
Sijin Mansion is a standard large-scale mansion with a large garden courtyard. It is located in the inner city of the imperial capital where every inch of land is precious. It looks extremely grand, and the Tang family's mansion is nothing more than that.
Chu Chen originally planned to buy a five- or even six-entry house. After all, it was the imperial capital, and he would not lose money by buying a property.
It's a pity that I didn't buy it.
It's not that I don't have enough money, it's that I don't have a suitable house to buy.
However, despite this, there is a four-entry house in the inner city of the imperial capital. My younger brother Pengju seems extremely happy. He has been smiling and full of energy these days.
The world is converging. No matter which world you work in a small town, it is an extremely happy thing to have an ideal house in the imperial capital and a place to live in the land of struggle.
"Brother, are you out of seclusion?
The next day, Chu Chen was meditating in the clean room of his new house. When he heard that his younger brother Pengju was looking for him, he suddenly had a strange look on his face. Someone from the Ma family is here?
He was still looking forward to the Ma family's return. After all, the Ma family promised to give him a piece of "Suzaku Lingshi" as a reward for protecting the law.
However, after it was reported that the old man from Shanyin had the blood of Shen Fei, the situation became a bit embarrassing.
Last night, he contacted Master Yulou and inquired about the situation. It turned out that Master seemed to be very busy and could not find anyone at all.
Even without asking, Chu Chen could guess that the old man from Shanyin must have been taken away by Xianting.
However, he behaved correctly and fearlessly. He immediately left the practice clean room and went to the front parlor to meet the Ma family.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ma Huanzong, who looked anxious, saw Chu Chen and immediately stood up from his seat. Without saying a word, he fell to the ground:
"Please, Taoist Master Chu, save my Ma family, and ask Xianting to open up the net and give my Ma family a way out!"
Chu Chen's Taoist practice was profound. Just as Ma Huanzong was about to kneel down, he predicted it and quickly raised his hand to help him up. He was confused and was shocked in his heart.
The great elder of Majia Keqing, the old man Shanyin, has the blood of Shen Fei and controls the power of disasters. The Immortal Court can at most control him and not cause too much trouble to others unless other troubles are involved.
Chu Chen didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the wealthy families in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, but he was closely involved in this matter, so it was hard for him to stay out of it.
"Huanzong, what are you doing? What happened?"
Ma Huanzong said with a sad face:
"Taoist Master Chu, yesterday the powerful men from the Immortal Court took my elder Hakka away, saying that he had the blood of Shen Fei, and wanted to force him to take the test in front of the Taoist Monument. After the test,
In the core, Elder Shanyin's old illness relapsed, and he encountered a demonic obstacle again. The master of the fairy court saw through the demon with the power of disaster dormant in the body of Elder Shanyin. "
"It is said that this demon was involved in the Demonic Disaster in Zhongzhou and was the source of the Demonic Disaster. Taoist Master Chu, our Ma family did not know about it at all. We are unjustly accused. I heard that you discovered the Demonic Disaster and were able to find it in the Immortal Courtyard." The higher-ups spoke up and asked the Taoist priest to say a kind word for our Ma family..."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Ma Huanzong was in a hurry and sought medical treatment. He had no choice but to kill Chu Chen's disciples.
However, Chu Chen and Chen Pengju were stunned after hearing this.
After sending Ma Huanzong away, the two brothers were still immersed in shock.
Chen Pengju swallowed his saliva and sighed: "Brother, this is too much of a coincidence." "No, it's not a coincidence."
Chu Chen murmured to himself, not only remembering the scene yesterday when the little devil hurriedly came to him to show off.
At that time, the little ghost said that it caused great misfortune by causing the devil's curse behind the disaster to smoke. He did not pay attention to it, but he heard from Ma Huanzong that the devil was unlucky at a critical moment by chance and encountered the recurrence of the old illness of the old man from Shanyin. , this was exposed, and Chu Chen was a little shocked.
Others thought it was a coincidence, but he knew it very well.
This is not a coincidence, it is entirely the work of some kid.
Except for him, I'm afraid no one knows that the peerless devil who stirred up a bloody storm in Zhongzhou and disturbed all the princes in the court has capsized in the gutter and fell on the body of a harmless little devil.
Chen Pengju was surprised: "Brother, isn't this a coincidence?" "No."
Chu Chen replied, and immediately used the magic formula to call out the little ghost sleeping in the "Pure Yin Gourd".
"Brother, what happened? I was exhausted last night. Don't come to me if you have nothing to do."
"Little devil, you have made great achievements. I'm afraid the Immortal Court will grant you a high official title."
When the little ghost boy heard the word "official title", his whole body became energetic.
Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise:
"Brother, what happened?"
Chu Chen did not give in and explained what Ma Huanzong said.
Chen Pengju couldn't understand the inside story, but the little kid understood it, which was a surprise.
"Senior brother...is this my handiwork? I am really that powerful..."
The little ghost murmured to himself, with a look of shock on his face. Although he was usually awesome and felt good about himself, this was the first time that he felt his abilities so intuitively. He couldn't help but feel a dreamy feeling. .
Chu Chen smiled when he saw that the kid was a little worried about gain and loss.
Whether it is to control subordinates or to teach disciples and children, the best way is to "clear rewards and punishments." If you do something wrong, you should be reprimanded. If you do well, you should be rewarded and fully affirmed.
"Little devil, you heard me right. All of this is your handiwork. You have really made great achievements with your true skills. Hahaha, you are the most talented fairy boy in the world. You can mediate disasters with ease. There is no one like you in the world. Ordinary people."
"You are unique and unparalleled in the world!" "I...are so powerful..."
After hearing the compliments and affirmations from his senior brother one after another, the little ghost felt a little ecstatic and in a daze.
After a while, the little devil turned into a wisp of smoke and floated in the air.
He fell asleep straight up.
Seeing this scene, Chen Pengju was stunned and pointed at the little devil:
"Brother, what's wrong with the little devil?"
Chu Chen was also a little dazed. After a few words of praise, why did the little devil faint?
He just wanted to wake up the little devil.
However, at this moment, Chu Chen, as the master, keenly sensed an obscure and mysterious aura from the little ghost boy.
Immediately, Chu Chen was overjoyed.
"The opportunity for breakthrough, the opportunity for little devil's breakthrough has come.
