The human realm, the divine capital.
The entrance to the hall of the Zhao Mansion is facing a wooden wall. In front of the wooden wall is a long table. In front of the wooden table is an Eight Immortals square table with Taishi chairs on the left and right sides.
There are calligraphy and paintings hanging in the middle of the wall, with banners on both sides, all of which are famous people's calligraphy and paintings.
The layout pays attention to the integrity and solemnity, forming a world of its own.
Dou Changsheng was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, holding three peach stones in his hands. As his fingers shook, the peach stones kept spinning, occasionally making crisp impact sounds.
The old butler stood at the side with a bent posture and a humble attitude. At first, he could occasionally exchange a few words with Dou Changsheng and regarded Dou Changsheng as his young master. Now, he has completely lost communication and regards Dou Changsheng as his ancestor. .
Dou Changsheng didn't take the initiative to give orders, and the old housekeeper basically didn't take the initiative to speak. Dou Changsheng didn't realize much because he kept running around, but to others, Dou Changsheng's power became more and more powerful day by day.
Today, at the ordinary level, he has become a big man who cannot be talked about casually.
If it were Zhao Mingyu, he wouldn't be so rigid. The two parties have been together for more than ten years, and they naturally have feelings for each other. But if it were Dou Changsheng, there would be a gap. In the end, Dou Changsheng rose too fast, otherwise if he were an ordinary warrior, his strength would gradually increase. This process will lead to continuous contact, and the relationship will naturally become deeper, and in the end it will be like Zhao Mingyu.
Dou Changsheng asked casually: "How long until Master comes back?"
The old housekeeper quickly replied: "The master came back from summons not long ago, probably within the next few days."
"The reason why we have been delayed in Tianwaitian for so long is because there are many masters from Tianwaitian who want to enter the human realm. This is resisted by the imperial court. There are too many masters who have entered the human realm. If everyone divides their time privately, although it is also difficult, Second Young Master can With the relationship, you can also come to the human realm."
"But it would be too ostentatious for them to enter the human realm together, which would be difficult. The imperial court turned away these masters who entered. But not long ago, they heard that the second young master had a great victory in the blessed land, so the imperial court allowed it."
After the topic started, the depressing atmosphere dissipated, and the old housekeeper also complained and said: "I heard that the resistance from the court comes from Prince Jin. His Highness, Prince Jin, is too ignorant of praise."
Dou Changsheng slowly raised his arm and stopped the old butler from speaking next. He knew the rest of the words even if he didn't listen. Now even the old butler didn't realize that he subconsciously began to please himself and put himself in a very high position. , even the prince of Zhou Dynasty is trash.
"Go and give a message to His Majesty Gaozong in person. I will hold a banquet in Luoshui this evening and invite His Majesty Gaozong to give a message."
The old butler nodded and said, "How big is the second young master's banquet?"
"Whether it should be more lively or more deserted, and meet His Majesty Gaozong in private."
Dou Changsheng took a plate of flat peach cores, pondered for a moment and said, "Let's make it more lively."
"Remember to invite the God of Heavenly Works. My Ice Soul Sword has been reforged for several years. I don't know how the progress is?"
"Also, if the head of the Xiahou family is still in the capital, please come. If so, I also accepted this marriage. I definitely cannot go back on it."
Dou Changsheng thought about it carefully, trying to find his three or five close friends. Unfortunately, no matter how he thought about it, the ones he knew were either dead or running away, and he had no friends to invite.
Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.
I originally had some thoughts on this aspect, but now I have faded away.
This time it was more lively, and they were dealing with all the matters in the Divine Capital together, including the marriage of the Xiahou family, the divine soldiers of the Tiangong Division, and asking His Majesty Gaozong to resolve the matter of King Jin. Dou Changsheng also knew about the death of the master of the Qinglong Palace. Yes, but this is not enough to solve the thorn in the heart.
Last time, time was limited, and Dou Changsheng was too lazy to talk to King Jin. After all, Dou Changsheng now knew that the gods and demons of the Phoenix clan chose him because he had the aura of the Phoenix clan, and the source was the bowl of soup at the banquet.
Dou Changsheng didn't care whether he was related to King Jin or not, but King Jin had annoyed him. The battle for the right to inherit the throne had now turned into a battle for restoration.
"Brothers and sisters Qian Xiaosan and Qian Xiaojiu, if you are in the capital, please come too."
There are not many friends left. Even if they are acquaintances, their level is not high enough. For example, his second brother and Mr. Wang are currently in the Chen Di fiefdom. Guan Xinran is in the divine capital, but this one is not qualified to sit.
He waved his hand and said, "You can take care of the rest yourself."
After the old housekeeper responded, he turned around and left.
The old butler acted quickly. After leaving the mansion, he was the first to let the wind go, and then went straight to the imperial city. He personally invited several important guests. All of them were ordered by Dou Changsheng. Regardless of his status, he had to do it himself. The rest was to instruct the servants to send them off. Last invitation.
The old housekeeper quickly settled the matter, and the news also caused a sensation in the city of God. Dou Changsheng's return to the city of God was something that could only be hidden from some thoughtful people, such as the cabinet bosses, but most people didn't know it. Suddenly I heard that Dou Changsheng was going to host a banquet, which immediately caused a commotion.
In a short period of time, it has become the headline in the city of God and is the hottest news in the city at the moment.
Whoever has an invitation from Dou Changsheng is a symbol of identity and status. Many people who don't have invitations have begun to have a trust relationship, find connections, and start fighting to get to the banquet.
This is Dou Changsheng's first return to the human realm after overwhelming all races and seizing the blessed land. The world is really curious about the inside story of the blessed land, as well as the death of the geniuses of all races, the war between gods and demons, etc., even if he is participating in the banquet, It was impossible to ask Dou Changsheng in person, but as long as he could get one or two pieces of information from Dou Changsheng's mouth, it could be regarded as an inside story, and he would then become the core of a small circle and be supported and flattered by everyone.
This incident caused a sensation, and everyone competed for the place to go to the banquet, which invisibly raised the level of the banquet.
Xu Changqing was sitting in the courtyard, holding a book under a tall tree.
The leafy crown of the tree blocks the sun's rays, and the shade covers the whole body. The northwest wind blows slowly, and the branches rustle and tremble. Xu Changqing, who should be reading the books of the sages, is holding the book at the moment, showing a look of helplessness.
Appearing in front of Xu Changqing were boys and girls, not too old, wearing brocade robes and white skirts. The fabrics were of extraordinary quality. Occasionally, auras appeared and flowed, highlighting their extraordinary family background.
As long as you are in the world of mortals, it is naturally impossible to remain untainted by it. As the chief minister of the dynasty, Xu Changqing still has weaknesses, heirs, family, etc. This is unavoidable.
Originally, Xu Changqing was one of the first people to know about the banquet hosted by Dou Changsheng. As the chief minister of the dynasty, there were very few things in the world that could be concealed from Xu Changqing.
Xu Changqing did not intend to participate. Xu Changqing believed that his relationship with Dou Changsheng was neither far nor close. There was no big relationship, so why bother asking for trouble? This banquet was a banquet without a good banquet.
Dou Changsheng was not a calm person. After learning that he had returned to the capital of gods, Xu Changqing suddenly felt troubled. In the past, Dou Changsheng's troubles were troubles, and the court was still able to restrain Dou Changsheng. Now that Dou Changsheng is fighting for the blessed land this time, Dou is back. The status of immortality is already extraordinary.
Since ancient times, many human beings have fought for the blessed land and won. However, they have used secret methods or fought bloody battles, which has destroyed their own foundation. In the future, few will be able to achieve enlightenment.
Of course, it is difficult to attain enlightenment, but it is not a bad thing to be able to live a safe life and be a blessing to future generations.
But Dou Changsheng was safe and sound, and he was the first to become more and more powerful. Xu Changqing was studying at home, just to calm down and think about how to deal with Dou Changsheng.
I never thought that Dou Changsheng was so restless that he would cause trouble just after he came back. Xu Changqing looked unhappy and cold, and he was about to scold him. You can also attend Dou Changsheng's banquet. If you are destined to go, I'm afraid. Didn't make it out alive.
When he was about to scold him, a flawless white jade slip had already arrived in front of Xu Changqing. After he stretched out his hand to open the jade slip, Xu Changqing looked stunned.
His Majesty Taizong also set off for the trip.
Dou Changsheng was so proud that now an invitation asking Emperor Gaozong to leave the imperial city for a banquet actually forced Emperor Taizong out.
Xu Changqing grabbed the jade slip, and the movement was even louder now. Although Gaozong had an extraordinary status, his reputation was not obvious under the background of Taizong, so the trip was still within the control range, but Taizong was different.
Not to mention the past years when Emperor Taizong was in his prime, when he came from all directions to congratulate him and became his vassal from all over the world, many of the territories in the Zhou Dynasty were conquered by Emperor Taizong with his swords and spears.
It has not been a good thing since ancient times for ministers to be above the monarch. This is Tai Ah hanging upside down. If it is not done well, it will lead to the disaster of overthrow, and the country will be ruined.
Xu Changqing complained to Taizong in his heart that he didn't know how much influence he had, but he took the initiative to get involved.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, and now that the throne is vacant, Xu Changqing is the highest chief executive of the Zhou Dynasty. His power is greater than that of Gaozong and Taizong. If he is determined, he will start to eliminate dissidents, promote his confidants, and have the ability to make the court a unified government. .
But how could Xu Changqing, who knew how to protect himself wisely, seek death? The power of the Dazhou clan has not weakened, and there is no way out if they fight. Moreover, Dazhou is also a ship that is about to be silenced. Xu Changqing just wants to stand on the last guard.
To maintain the situation in the world, when the new emperor comes to the throne, he will definitely have to change his first assistant. Xu Changqing can retire and return to his hometown, leave the center of the storm in Dazhou, and start preparing for the family to survive the next chaos in the world.
Finally, he said helplessly: "It's okay, you go with me."
Even if he didn't get an invitation, as long as Xu Changqing said hello, the old housekeeper of the Zhao family would send an invitation to him. When Xu Changqing made this move, others who were watching the situation started to take action.
In less than half an hour, there was already a lot of traffic on the bank of Luoshui. Now it is even more crowded, and new people are replacing the old people. Some people with insufficient status who managed to sneak in were expelled, and a group of new people with more status were replaced. The taller one.
Time passed bit by bit, and seeing the time approaching, Dou Changsheng stood up, walked out of the mansion, and came to the door. Guan Xinran had been waiting for a long time. This was the first time Dou Changsheng saw Guan Xinran after returning to the capital of the gods. He has broken through to the third level and became a Dharma Master.
Dou Changsheng's expression was dull. He had been away from the human world for some time. It had been more than a year, and he was already in his twenties. Such a long time was enough for Guan Xinran to complete his breakthrough. After all, Guan Xinran was his own, and he was accompanied by his power. Higher and higher.
Guan Xinran is also rising, and there will definitely be some dependents. They rely on Guan Xinran's relationship and then build a relationship with him. Guan Xinran has no shortage of treasure resources. With the other party's qualifications, he can cultivate to the fourth level of martial arts through casual cultivation. His qualifications are definitely sufficient.
The only difficulty was Xiao Tianming. Now it seems that Tianming has passed, which is a good thing, because if Guan Xinran's strength cannot keep up, he is destined to be marginalized this time when he comes back, but now he has lived up to himself.
Dou Changsheng walked onto the carriage and sat down. Guan Xinran immediately put away the bench and got on the carriage. Although Dou Changsheng was sitting in the carriage with a curtain in front of him, he could still sense the scene outside. He shook his head slightly and said: "It doesn't have to be this way."
"You have broken through to the third level and have become a master. No matter where you go in this world, you are a distinguished guest. How can you be humiliated here and drive the carriage for me yourself?"
"As long as you have this heart, I'll be satisfied."
Guan Xinran looked solemn and spoke solemnly: "My master has given me the gift of reincarnation. If there were no master, Guan Xinran would be just an ordinary third-grade warrior today. No matter where he went, he would be inferior."
"No, without the master, Guan Xinran would have died a long time ago. This life belongs to the master, so why care about such a mere face issue."
As Guan Xinran raised his hand, his magic power continued to surge, turning into a whip and whipping the horse. The carriage immediately started moving and headed straight towards Luoshui outside the city.
Dou Changsheng shook his head helplessly. This was not his true intention, and he had persuaded him to do so. However, Guan Xinran was too stubborn and just accepted death. Look at what happened, it was completely treated by gods and demons.
Guan Xinran concentrated on driving the car, but his technique was rough, but he was not strong enough. Even if something went wrong, he could still use his magic power to stabilize the car without causing any bumps.
The corners of Guan Xinran's mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared. He also knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from Dou Changsheng, but Dou Changsheng did not delve into it and did not care at all.
This was enough. Guan Xinran was very optimistic about Dou Changsheng, and even believed that being a retainer and calling Dou Changsheng his lord was far worse than being a slave and calling him master.
There will be more and more diners in the future, and there will also be more slaves, but it is far less than the growth rate of diners. Of course, there is another important reason. The slaves are our own people, and the diners are separated by one layer. In terms of closeness, they are far less than the slaves. It's close.
This loss of face may be exchanged for status, just like the seven chamberlains next to the saint. They are slaves in front of the saint, but in front of other people, they are extremely valuable.
The carriage came all the way to the bank of Luoshui River and immediately caused a sensation. People looked at the carriage. Dou Changsheng opened the curtain and saw this huge scene.
Dou Changsheng couldn't help but was stunned. He wanted to be lively, but he didn't say it was so lively. In Dou Changsheng's mind, there were more than a dozen or more people. He invited some dancers and some piano players to perform some songs and dances, and then drank. A little wine, this is very good.
But now in this scene, it seems that he is not hosting a banquet, but is here to ascend the throne.
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, most of the senior officials of the Sixth Division were here, and most of the cabinet ministers were present. This was like a morning court.
"Meet Chen Guogong!"
There was a sudden sound, and immediately everyone started shouting, and the sound was overwhelming, sweeping from all directions.
The voices were very mixed, and various voices were mixed together. Words about promoting our clan's power, overwhelming all clans, being a hero of the human race, etc. kept ringing out.
The messy sound is a good thing, it proves that they have not rehearsed in advance. If it is consistent, you should taste it carefully.
"First Evolution"
Dou Changsheng couldn't help but smile. It's not that Dou Changsheng has never seen it before. The gathering of all races is much bigger than this. There are countless gods and demons, and there are many masters. You don't have the strength of a master, and you don't even have the qualifications to wait and see.
But the reason why Dou Changsheng was happy was that he received positive comments this time, let's see what they said.
big hero.
Humanity is proud.
They all sound very good.
That's right, if there hadn't been a divine message, I would have been the light of the right path.
Thinking of the Tianji Bao, Dou Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. Because this issue of the Tianji Bao has not been released for a long time, this must be wrong. He was definitely holding back his big move, fearing that something might happen.
Now the strength is still weaker, and there is no capital to visit Tianji Tower. When I become a god and demon, I will definitely go to Tianji Tower to have a good chat with them.
The little black book is still remembering that this matter is not over yet.
There was a crowd of people in front of Dou Changsheng, but he naturally got out of the way. A road appeared, and Dou Changsheng walked slowly towards the head seat of the banquet.
Looking at the people on both sides who are either rich or noble, everyone can be regarded as a powerful person outside. Many of them are not weak and must be heroes. When I first came here a few years ago, I was also a marginal figure in the God of Wealth Conference. , I never thought that I would become the protagonist now.
In his current position, he can sit upright and watch the heroes below compete with each other, performing like monkeys.
Yes, peeling off the gorgeous coat is just a monkey show, but even so, people still flock to it, because it represents fame and fortune. Now, even a casual word from me can make a warrior a hundred times more valuable. All parties win over each other to reach the pinnacle of life.
This sentence is also a sentiment. It is definitely unrealistic to let yourself go to fight gods and demons, but as long as you are qualified to visit, all worries will disappear, and the world will be so realistic.
Dou Changsheng felt lost in his heart, and unknowingly, he started to tremble.
Of course, Dou Changsheng has not lost his cool. Now he is the most popular one because he has just returned from the blessed land. He is carrying the power to seize the blessed land and overwhelm all races.
Things like momentum will dissipate with the passage of time. Now I respond to everything. After two years, there will be many people who don't give me face. They won't refuse on the surface, so there is no other way?
Our country has its own national conditions. I will go to the frontier for two years to train first. This is for your own good, so that you can accumulate experience so that you can be promoted to a more important position. As for whether you will never come back, then you have to carefully examine it.
Dou Changsheng stepped on the red carpet and walked to the main seat. He sat behind the desk. Looking up, he could see the people on the left and right of the red carpet and behind the desks. They were all familiar faces. Everyone's identity All extraordinary.
Especially among them, His Majesty Taizong and His Majesty Gaozong were sitting directly below them. The former Nine-Five Supreme Beings had to succumb to others. They felt a sense of superiority and subconsciously felt joy in their hearts. This is why they both like to push icebergs. What I want is this conquering power. Even if it is temporary, I am not happy about it.
Just as Dou Changsheng sat down, Taizong had already gently clapped his palms twice, attracting everyone's attention. Dou Changsheng also looked towards Gaozong, and a group of people appeared at the end of the red carpet, which directly caused a commotion. Dou Changsheng's gaze Moving slightly, he could clearly see a man with disheveled hair and single clothes approaching.
Although the man's clothes were disheveled, it was difficult to hide his nobility. He couldn't help but reach out to cover his face as he walked towards him. Dou Changsheng recognized who it was at a glance. This was the target of his banquet. He had the Prince of Zhou, the legitimate son of the saint, and the throne. Candidates for a series of titles as King of Jin.
King Jin has lost his former honor, and his favorite appearance has now been completely given up.
Dou Changsheng looked at this scene with doubts and looked at Gaozong aside. Gaozong said nothing and calmly stared at King Jin in the distance.
King Jin walked forward step by step, and when he came ten steps away from Dou Changsheng, he raised his hand to reveal a dagger from his sleeve, and knelt down.
Seeing this scene, Dou Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He thought that Taizong had arranged a big show of pleading guilty. He could let King Jin go, but that was his own wish, not something imposed on him by others.
King Jin held the dagger high and said in a hoarse voice: "I am responsible for all the crimes."
"Now I don't expect the Duke's forgiveness. I am here to express my attitude to the Duke. If you do something wrong, you will be punished."
"This time I failed the human race and almost harmed the Duke, which caused a catastrophe and caused my human race to lose its blessed land. I know that I have sinned deeply."
"I will die today to warn the world not to follow in my footsteps."
King Jin preached word by word, and his words were a little messy, but the general meaning was explained, causing an uproar. Everyone looked at King Jin angrily. If there were no people blocking him from all directions, they would have rushed up and hacked King Jin to death.
King Jin raised his head and stared at Dou Changsheng in the upper position. Seeing Dou Changsheng's graceful posture, hatred flashed in his eyes. Naturally, all of this was not done willingly, but just like the death of Yan Jingtian in the past, now The clan is also forcing itself.
Dou Changsheng returned victorious from seizing the blessed land this time, and came to the capital of the gods with this great trend. Not only did he have trouble sleeping and eating, but even Taizong was also the same. Therefore, someone must bear everything and completely solve the last time in the world.
After King Jin finished speaking, he remained silent for more than ten breaths, then waved the dagger and inserted it into his chest instantly, piercing his heart. Then he actively disintegrated the Dharma and allowed the life force to continue to flow away.
He stared at Dou Changsheng with bright eyes, and the expression in his eyes gradually dimmed, but his eyes were still staring at Dou Changsheng.
Not willing to give in.
Why did Dou Changsheng not die?
Could it be that those gods and demons are made of paper?
If there is an afterlife, I hope it will be a world without Dou Changsheng.
