Dazhou's talent inner treasury will collect the precious treasures submitted by various states and counties every year. When Dazhou first established the Xuanjing Division, it used the resources of the emperor's inner treasury to establish the secret guards.
Later, with the secret guards, the Great Zhou Dynasty began a journey across the world, destroying countless immortal cultivating sects, and the emperor's inner treasury was never opened again.
Now, the emperor's inner treasury, which has been accumulated for a long time, has finally been opened.
The inner treasury was built deep underground in the imperial city. It was built on the dragon veins. Later, it was connected by the former imperial master with the city protection formation. Unless the dragon veins could be bypassed and the formation was not disturbed, it would be difficult to open the inner treasury.
Therefore, this is almost the safest and most secret place in the world.
Deep underground, there is a long corridor with no end in sight. Runes are engraved everywhere in the passage, and the top is illuminated with luminous pearls, each of which is the size of a fist. At the same time, these luminous pearls are also part of the formation.
After walking for about half an hour, a bronze door appeared at the end of the passage. It was about ten feet high and five feet wide. It was made of bronze and had patina on it. It exuded an ancient atmosphere. On both sides of the door, there were seals engraved with the four spirits. There is a keyhole in the door.
Seeing the door, Su Ming subconsciously sent out his spiritual consciousness to investigate, but found that his spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the bronze door at all and was directly isolated from the outside.
Cao Yuchen took out a copper box and took out a bronze key from the box. The key was surrounded by various runes and had various mechanisms.
He inserted the key into the keyhole and opened it using a special technique. The whole process was complicated and tedious, with dozens of procedures. Then he took out a drop of blood from his body and dripped it on the door.
As the blood dripped, the heavy bronze door slowly opened, "Master Imperial Master, I won't let this old slave go in. Please do it." After saying that, he put away the key and stood guard on the side of the door.
This drop of blood should be the blood of Princess Yongan.
Su Ming nodded and slowly stepped into it.
After entering the gate, you feel as if you have stepped into the endless starry sky. Everything is dark in front of you. Only the stars are shining. Different stars are different in size and emit different light. At a glance, you can see how many stars are there, forming a galaxy. .
This place should be a small world, just like the place where the monsters are imprisoned in the Royal Forest Garden.
Fortunately, he can use his spiritual thoughts here, so he doesn't need to search slowly.
Immediately, a powerful spiritual thought swept across, as vast and powerful as a storm. Every time it swept across a star, countless starlights dissipated and were collected into the storage ring by Su Ming.
Before entering the Emperor's inner treasury this time, Su Ming took a lot of storage rings. After all, he wanted to expand the Xuanjing Division, which consumed a lot of resources.
Most of these stars contain spiritual minerals, magical iron, and elixirs that are not available in the outside world. Of course, these things are not uncommon if they are placed in the world of immortality. Obviously, these things are specially supplied to monks.
At the same time, he also saw many magic weapons and magic weapons, but Su Ming didn't take any of them. The Xuanjing Division had a special workshop to refine armor weapons. This was left behind by Emperor Shenwu. Over time, Xuanjing was added The division has a lot of combat power.
In the army, there is no need for powerful magic weapons. The same standard weapons can exert greater power. Of course, Su Ming did not let go of the best magic weapons. Just because the lower-level secret guards cannot use them does not mean that Xuan The middle and high-level managers of Mirror Division have no use for it.
Of course, all the magic weapons that can catch his eye are of the highest quality, but of course, he doesn't need them himself.
After entering the emperor's inner treasury, he had three hours to choose. Once the three hours were over, he had to leave. No one knew what divine objects were in the inner treasury, not even the servants who managed the inner treasury.
However, Su Ming also found a lot of practice secrets, which were obtained when Dazhou destroyed the sects in the world of immortality. Of course, all the secrets of practice that can be included in the inner library are excellent, and they can directly point to the avenue of the soul. , so Su Ming took it away without any courtesy.
Unfortunately, he searched for two hours but couldn't find the Lingbao.
When Da Zhou swept through the world of cultivating immortals, there must be spiritual treasures among the trophies he obtained, but he didn't know if they would be here. As Su Ming continued to search, the storage ring on his body was quickly filled.
Most of them are elixirs, spiritual materials and spiritual stones, and the rest are some magic weapons and scripture exercises.
Suddenly, Su Ming's expression was shocked, and divine light burst out from his eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a broken star in his hand.
As the stars shattered, a pitch-black Guqin fell into his hand. This Qin was the spiritual treasure Su Ming was looking for! Su Ming stretched out his palm and rubbed the body of the piano. It was as cold and smooth as cold jade. The red strings exuded a cold luster, which was quite impressive.
When Su Ming caught it in his hand, the strings of the piano began to vibrate, and with a tinkling sound, an invisible sound wave hit Su Ming, but was blocked by his spiritual thoughts.
In an instant, the entire space seemed to be shaken by sound waves, and the starlight of countless stars began to dim. At this moment, several stars above the galaxy in the sky burst out with intense light, and the entire space quickly stabilized.
"Dragon Qin!"
Su Ming engraved the soul mark on the true soul of this spiritual treasure and knew its name. This piano was actually made of the body of the true dragon of the soul. Each of the five strings was It is made from the tendon of a true dragon, and its body is made from an extremely rare spiritual jade chalcedony. It is an offensive spiritual treasure.
Of course, the Tianlong Qin has not one true spirit, but five. There is a true spirit in each string, which is refined from the original spirit of the true dragon.
This Qin was forged by Ling Xuzi, the great master of the Zhou Dynasty, and Tie Qingqing, the master of the Xuanjing Division, and it was very powerful. However, their combat power was too strong and they did not lack this spiritual treasure. Therefore, this spiritual treasure was Was put into the emperor's inner treasury.
Even if those Yuanshen monks that Su Ming conquered at the beginning entered the realm of Yuanshen, their cultivation was not enough to use this spiritual treasure. Therefore, no one used it and it was left here for a long time.
"Dragon Qin?"
Su Ming took it into the sea of consciousness, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. The five true dragons of the primordial spirit were really ruthless when the Great Zhou swept across the world. No wonder the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea started fighting when they disagreed with him when they saw him. It turned out that there was such deep hatred inside.
Five Yuan Shen monks are an unbearable pain for any force. Previously, Kunlun suddenly lost four Yuan Shen monks and had to summon three sects to deal with it together.
"There will be opportunities in the future." Su Ming comforted the five true spirits in the Tianlong Qin and said with a proud smile.
Today's harvest really surprised him. Calculating the time, three hours were almost here. These resources should be enough for Xuanjing Division to expand the secret guard.
Immediately, Su Ming disappeared in a flash.
After he left, the stars in the sky once again emitted starlight and gathered together again.
Outside the bronze gate, Cao Yuchen was waiting here quietly. Su Ming slowly revealed his figure and thanked him, "Thank you, Manager Cao!"
This Cao Yuchen is not simple. Although in Su Ming's opinion, this guy is extremely weak, there is always an evil nature in him that makes him unpredictable.
However, he didn't mean to go into details. Who in the palace didn't know any secrets?
Afterwards, the two left the place together.
After leaving the palace, Su Ming returned to Tianshu Pavilion and handed over all the spiritual materials and treasures he had to his subordinates, ordering them to refine elixirs, armor, and weapons as soon as possible.
Yesterday, he had ordered people to select 20,000 people from the 60,000 Forbidden Army. Originally, the Forbidden Army was already the elite of the border army, and these 20,000 people were selected from the 100,000 Forbidden Army. Both his qualifications and his character are good, and there is no big stain on him, so he was selected.
The Xuanjing Division had already gone through a series of procedures for selecting secret guards, so Su Ming didn't need to worry about it.
······
Three days later, Emperor Shenwu was finally buried in the mausoleum.
In the early morning of this day, the whole city was deserted, with white lanterns hanging on every house, and a long funeral procession stretching for hundreds of miles from the palace to the outside of the city.
After all, Emperor Shenwu was the emperor who had been in power for more than sixty years, and was the emperor who revitalized the Great Zhou Dynasty. His burial ceremony attracted the attention of many people.
The people in the city were also shocked by this huge funeral, and recalled the goodness of Emperor Shenwu. Most of the people of this generation lived in peaceful times and had never experienced war and hardship.
But they also experienced the period when the Great Zhou Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, which was also the origin of their resentment towards Emperor Shenwu. However, death was like a lamp going out. As soon as Emperor Shenwu died, the resentment in their hearts almost disappeared.
Later, after the death of Emperor Shenwu, the rebels attacked the city. This would have been impossible if Emperor Shenwu was still in power. Therefore, after this battle, the people of the capital had the last bit of resentment towards him. Also dissipated.
In the end, his posthumous title was designated as the Yingyi Holy God Xuanwen Great Sage and the Divine Benevolence Wenyi Wujunde Emperor. Although his later actions were not worthy of this posthumous title, in general, he had great influence on the Great Zhou Dynasty and the billions of people in the world. As far as the people are concerned, merit still outweighs faults.
As a national advisor and a second-rank official of the imperial court, Su Ming participated in the funeral. At the same time, he also prayed for Emperor Shenwu as a state advisor.
At this funeral, Princess Li Waner of Yong'an officially appeared in front of the officials as the crown princess, embarking on the path of a generation of empress.
It was July 21, the sixty-fourth year of Shenwu in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This day is an auspicious day, one month has passed since Emperor Shenwu was buried, and it is also the time when Princess Yong'an officially succeeds to the throne.
Ancestral Temple
The sky is wide open and the clouds are in uneven patterns.
As the sun rises, the glow fills the left and right sides, and the sky is towering and colorful. The golden and white light rubs against each other and touches the jade water, giving it a solemn and majestic look.
Princess Li Wan'er of Yong'an wears a flat crown on her head, a splendid dragon robe with sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and a dragon and tiger jade pendant hanging from her waist. She has a calm posture, and her delicate and beautiful face is full of majesty.
In front of her, there is an ancient sapphire platform.
It is nine feet high, with embroidered patterns on each level, with turtles and snakes guarding it, the clear light is rising, and it is thick and graceful. The stage is engraved with auspicious clouds, dragons and phoenixes, as well as various mythical beasts, etc., which are lifelike and glowing with a faint and deep brilliance.
Different from the altar where Emperor Shenwu conferred the title of Imperial Master on Su Ming, this is the Temple of Heaven, which will only be used when the new emperor ascends the throne. It is one of the most sacred places in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Jishi was far away, and Su Ming could feel its unpredictable power, pressing down on him, so heavy that even the power of his soul was suppressed.
This power is not due to the altar itself, but because every size, pattern, and cloud on the altar is arranged strictly according to an ancient etiquette system.
As a result, it is connected to the heaven in the underworld, giving birth to huge majesty.
The system, specifications, and etiquette correspond to the celestial phenomena at the top and the earth's energy at the bottom. They are solemn and solemn in people's eyes. At the same time, they also gather the dragon energy of the Great Zhou Dynasty and condense the luck.
As the auspicious time came, Princess Yong'an straightened her clothes, walked up the stairs step by step, and came to the high platform.
A few are listed above.
In the center is the incense burner, with three bronze-green legs, which are very stable.
Then, there is sandalwood.
As the sacrificial inscriptions were recited, a layer of colorful light began to fill the sky above the altar, and the condensed dragon energy around them began to boil instantly. With the Temple of Heaven as the center, dragon energy roared in all directions, gradually causing fluctuations in the entire imperial capital. In the imperial capital, everyone felt a subtle reaction. They all put down the things in their hands and knelt down. On the ground, the mountains shout long live.
After the memorial text was recited, Princess Yong'an stepped forward to burn incense and pray. Invisible to the naked eye, purple and green circles swirled, and the dragon's aura was released, one after another, and then, in the dark, the voices of faith from all the people came one after another.
At the same time, the patterns on the ancient altar created ripples. If there was substance, a mysterious and mysterious, wonderful and wonderful will descended.
God is above.
The ground is down.
People can communicate.
After the memorial ceremony was over, it turned into a wisp of blue smoke, which condensed but never dispersed, and the birds flew upward, filling the sky and the earth.
Suddenly, there was thunder across the horizon, ringing in the nine heavens, brilliant and vast, carrying the will of the entire humanity and descending suddenly.
Among the hundreds of officials, Su Ming's eyes lit up and he felt the powerful power contained in Princess Yong'an, which seemed invisible and tangible. The heaven and earth were calling her, and her luck was booming.
It was clear that at the previous moment, she was just a noble person with great luck, but no authority and power, and could not be mobilized. But at this moment, as the process of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed, her whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes. , has authority.
This kind of authority is the divine right of kings, given by heaven, and represents the orthodoxy of imperial power. With the imperial power, she can control the emperor's dragon energy in her body.
Now, even Su Ming couldn't do anything to her.
At this moment, Su Ming was thinking that if the Yuanshen monk who cursed Emperor Shenwu that night came to curse Princess Yong'an now, he would definitely be counterattacked by the emperor's dragon energy in her immediately. The path of death is gone.
The reason why he was able to curse and kill Emperor Shenwu in the first place was because Emperor Shenwu was at odds with his ministers and was betrayed by a wealthy family. The people's support was no longer there. Moreover, the emperor's dragon energy in him was eroded by the resentment of the people, and his power was completely destroyed. Only then Got it by him.
I am afraid that even the strongest monks of the three sects cannot kill her. Of course, if the three sects really want to kill her, there are many ways.
"Grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, etiquette of enthronement, and divine right of kings." Su Ming's eyes stayed on her for a moment, then withdrew, and recited silently in his heart.
