Now that the senior brother has spoken, the others have no opinions.
After chatting for a few more words, they got up and prepared to rest. When Du Jie was leaving, Ye Qingcheng suddenly walked up to him and said, "Seventh Junior Brother."
Du Jie glanced at Ye Qingcheng with some confusion, then hurriedly lowered his head: "Sister, what are your orders?"
"After March, there will be Yashan's annual sect competition. I hope you can accept my challenge then." Ye Qingcheng said warmly and softly before standing up and leaving.
Du Jie watched Ye Qingcheng leave. He didn't know if it was his misunderstanding. Since returning to Yashan, the Fourth Senior Sister seemed to have set his sights on him. Although he wasn't as arrogant as before, this made him even more uncomfortable.
I heard Wu Qi guess before that Ye Qingcheng had suffered a love injury before and would be honest with all men from then on. Over the years, I have been a little kinder to my elders, but I have always been indifferent to my brothers and sisters. It was the first time that I could say a few words to Du Jie. But Du Jie really couldn't figure out what happened to his fourth senior sister? Du Jie couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it, because the next day was the national religious election.
The name of the state religion was given by a certain founding monarch thousands of years ago. From then on, no matter how the dynasty changed, the state religion was the first object to be fought for by the emperor. According to folklore, the state religion was given by the gods the right to control the destiny of the country. Those who win the state religion will conquer the world. .
There are only three principles for selecting candidates for the state religion. One is that the heir to the saint must be a woman, the other is that the candidate must first enter the state religion, and the third is that those who are virgins must be less than twenty years old. Only with these three conditions, not many people can be elected to the state religion, and those who join the state religion are not allowed to abandon the religion for life. If any of the younger generations who join the state religion meet the requirements, they can be given priority to join the church.
The followers of the state religion are all over the world, and the saint is revered by all people. Therefore, the election of the state religion is the most important event in the world after the new emperor's enthronement. If people in the martial arts world want to have a good future, they will raise their daughters well from an early age. What they want is to fly into the sky on the day of the election.
But every selection of a saint is different, and martial arts cultivation is not all part of the examination. Sometimes some innocuous things recorded in essays often become test questions.
And the questions for this exam were indeed set by the Qianqiu Saint long ago. This exam is divided into three sessions. The three exams are completely different and have almost no connection. If you are lucky enough to win a match, there will be many difficulties ahead.
It is said that there are more than 300 candidates for the selection of the saint this time, covering almost all the martial arts sects and celebrities. Therefore, almost all the heroes from the world have flocked to the imperial capital. This is almost the biggest event in the world in more than ten years.
The next day, Du Jie and others arrived at Tingfeng Pavilion early. Zhuo Bufan waited for them in the front hall before getting up and heading to the Holy Lady's Palace. Ye Qingcheng didn't really want to come, but Changsun Wufang kept trying to persuade her, so she had no choice but to come with her.
However, when they went out, Huo Lin'er never showed up. Only then did Zheng Chumu tell them that Huo Lin'er suddenly left because of something urgent last night and was no longer in Tingfeng Pavilion. He seemed to have learned that the divination star Lord Huo Baozi had arrived. Imperial capital. Went to find him.
Huo Baozi actually arrived in the imperial capital at this time.
After a few people left Tingfeng Pavilion, they walked forward shortly. Changsun Wufang suddenly said "Hey", then stuck his head out of the carriage and said to Zhuo Bufan: "Uncle, please stop for a moment."
Zhuo Bufan reined in the horse, turned around and asked with some confusion: "What's wrong?"
Changsun Wufang hesitated for a long time before saying: "I smelled a very strange smell after I came out of Lao Qi's house in the morning. I just asked the fourth sister and she said she couldn't smell it. Have any of you smelled it? "
"Strange smell?" Zhuo Bufan sniffed his nose: "There is no special smell. The area around Tingfeng Pavilion is mostly a place where merchants gather, so some strange smells are not uncommon. Xiao Wu, you have been smart since you were a child, and your sense of smell is also First-rate. I'm afraid that someone's brew may smell moldy. Let's leave quickly." After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Changsun Wufang also felt that he seemed to be thinking too much. Just as he was about to lower the curtain of the carriage, he glanced at Wu Qi and Kong Miaozhi who were in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Third Senior Brother , Sixth Junior Brother, you two don’t leave yet, come here and I’ll help you feel your pulse.”
After hearing this, Wu Qi and Kong Miaozhi looked at Changsun Wufang, who was a bit abnormal, inexplicably. Wu Qi whispered to her: "Fourth, have you not seen a doctor for several days? Your hands are itchy. If your hands are itchy, turn around and I'll cut the hole." You can do whatever you want with Lao Liu tied up, let’s now…”
Changsun Wufang didn't wait for Wu Qi to say anything, and shouted in a stern tone: "Stop talking nonsense, take your hands out!"
Changsun Wufang's temperament has always been as gentle as jade. Wu Qi has never seen her lose her temper, but this time she was suddenly so irritable. Wu Qi did not dare to say anything and obediently put his wrist in front of Changsun Wufang. Kong Miaozhi rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something, and walked to the carriage with a pale face.
After about a cup of tea, Changsun Wufang put Wu Qi and Kong Miaozhi's arms back. He looked like he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.
When Zhuo Bufan saw it, he asked, "Wufang, do you see anything? Is there anything wrong with you, senior fellow apprentice?"
Changsun Wufang looked ugly and opened his mouth. He didn't say anything for a long time, which made Wu Qi beside him jump up in anxiety. Changsun Wufang then said: "There is something wrong with the appearance of Third Senior Brother and Old Sixth Brother. I just took their pulses. Their pulses were sonorous and strong, half better than normal people. But they also have a faint smell on their bodies. You didn't smell it." Are you here?"
"Smell?" After hearing this, several people came to Wu Qi and sniffed, but they didn't smell anything. However, Zhuo Bufan sniffed it carefully and said, "Is it the scent of night-blooming cereus?"
Changsun Wufang shook his head: "It's like the fragrance of epiphyllum, but it's not the fragrance of epiphyllum. This smell comes from their bodies. I think they got it by eating something they shouldn't eat. But..."
Wu Qi said tremblingly: "But what? Don't scare me, Fourth Brother. If it doesn't work, let's not watch the Saintess election. Let's go back today. Master, uncles, and I are all in Yashan. Sixth Brother, I and I My life is at stake. Does that expression you just gave me mean that I have an incurable disease? I just told you that you shouldn’t have gone greedy with Lao Liu yesterday to eat the best delicacy in the imperial capital.”
"Wait a minute, what is the best delicacy in the imperial capital? Why haven't I heard of such a thing? The chef at Jinfeng Yulu Tower is the best in the capital. You didn't eat there yesterday. Where were you?" Zhuo Bufan finished listening. As soon as Wu Qi spoke, he asked hurriedly
"Uncle Thirteenth Master, don't you know that there is a very popular restaurant in the Imperial Capital recently? It's not far from the gate of the Holy Lady's Palace. Every night, people waiting to eat can line up from the Jinfeng Yulu Tower to the Tingfeng Pavilion. My old man and I Didn't Liu get anxious while waiting for Lao Qi yesterday so he went out to find something to eat? When we turned there, we just smelled the aroma. We couldn't hold it back, so we went to have a taste. Liu, please say something too .”
When Kong Miaozhi saw Chang Sun Wufang's appearance, he felt unsure: "Let's just eat something casually in some restaurant, Lao Wu, we won't eat anything we shouldn't eat."
"What kind of fragrance does that thing have?" Changsun Wufang asked.
"What kind of fragrance? What kind of fragrance is there? It's just a particularly good smell. Fourth son, tell me the truth. Did I cause it by eating randomly? No. I heard others say that that place has opened. It’s been so long. How many people have eaten it? Wu Qi looked at Changsun Wufang’s expression carefully while frightening himself.
Changsun Wufang frowned, looking puzzled. After seeing this, Kong Miao whispered a few words to Changsun Wufang. At first, the two of them were a little nervous, but after a while they talked about the knot between their eyebrows. They untied each other, and then Changsun Wufang said to Zhuo Bufan: "Uncle, I thought wrongly. They are fine. We should go to participate in the election of the Saint. Maybe today's election will be very interesting."
Wu Qi became anxious after hearing this: "Lao Wu, don't listen to Kong Laoliu's nonsense. This kid has been taking small pills since he was a child. There are no taboos. I can't bear such a scary disease. Why don't we go back first, you guys?" If you don’t want to go back, let Lao Qi go back with me.”
Zhuo Bufan also asked: "Wufang, are you sure?"
Changsun Wufang walked over and whispered a few words into Zhuo Bufan's ear. After hearing this, Zhuo Bufan was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little awkwardly and then said: "I think this is the only way it is, and this is the only way to do it." Yes, Wufang, go and find that thing, let the others go."
Wu Qi wanted to say something else, but Zhuo Bufan said first: "Little monkey, when has your thirteenth uncle ever made you suffer? Follow Wu Fang and I'll make sure you're fine. You have to go to Yashan by yourself, but something happened on the way." But I don’t respond every day.”
Changsun Wufang smiled and said: "Uncle Zhuo, don't scare the third child. Third child, come here." Changsun Wufang whispered in Wu Qi's ear for a while.
Wu Qi's face turned pale at first, and then slowly regained his color. When Sun Wufang finished speaking, Wu Qi was stunned and muttered: "Old Five, are you sure? This is your third senior brother's wealth and life, it is not safe or not."
Changsun Wufang said angrily and funny: "If something happens, blame yourself for being greedy. Hmph!"
Zhuo Bufan saw that the explanation was clear, so he didn't stay any longer. Now it's three poles a day. If it were later, I might not even be able to watch the ceremony.
At this time, Saint Qianqiu was in the main hall of the Holy Lady's Palace. Behind the Saint, there were several deacons of the state church. The Saint was telling them some things to pay attention to for the next election. The election of the Saints of the State Church is the top priority of the State Church. Congregants from all branches of the world will rush back from all directions. The State Church claims to have millions of believers, and there are tens of thousands of working members alone. There is no room for such a huge event. Sloppy, the saint's expression suddenly changed when the deacons were talking, and then she waved everyone away.
Not long after I left, two gray-haired old men walked in through the main hall door.
