3, burn the pipa
The next day at Chaoge Palace, the Forbidden Forest Army lined up in front of the Meridian Gate and built a fire platform with wooden stakes. Haoran and Jiang Shang just stood far away from His Highness. The sun was high in the sky. The faces on the seats at the palace gate were not clear. They were determined.
It is undoubtedly King Zhou and Su Daji.
Haoran whispered: "Why do you remember it now?"
Jiang Shang replied awkwardly: "I was too panicked yesterday, too panicked."
The two of them were whispering to each other, and someone on the steps of the palace asked, "What's the matter?"
"Back to your Majesty." Huang Feihu said loudly, "A murder occurred in Chaoge yesterday."
While speaking, Wucheng King Huang Feihu reported to King Zhou that Wang Guiren was killed by a stone inkstone for fortune-telling. At the end, he said: "Haoran, Jiang Shang and others have concluded that this woman is a monster who has become a spirit. It is King Youcheng..."
"Nonsense!" a woman sitting on the seat accused in a sharp voice, obviously unable to hide her anger, "If you catch a woman anywhere, you are a monster. I think these two are clearly deceivers who use fortune telling to cause trouble; they molest women from good families.
If that didn't work, I beat her to death, captured the two men and beheaded them, and dragged the woman's body out and buried them!"
Relying on the favor she received, Su Daji couldn't help but interrupt King Wu Cheng's statement. As the marshal of the country, when would it be the turn of a concubine in the harem to contradict him? At that moment, she was extremely annoyed, and she said calmly:
"Your Majesty is aware that Jiang Shang has his own way of making this goblin reveal its true form. If the facts are the same as what Daji Empress guessed, it will not be too late to ask again and kill him."
In front of the palace, the emperor stood tall and majestic, with his hands behind his back, giving off a royal aura. After a while, King Zhou commented: "Well, this banshee has a beautiful face and a fair body..."
Daji snorted coldly. King Zhou quickly changed the subject and said, "Gu Ye doesn't feel like a good woman, so let's take action."
At this time, Wang Guiren's jade body was lying around. Jiang Shang had plastered yellow plague talismans and red sand talismans all over his body. A slide rule was pressed on his chest. His clothes were scattered, half-covered, and the guards secretly swallowed them.
Drool. Jiang Shang signaled, and someone brought a torch and burned the wooden platform. For a moment, black smoke evaporated and the wind rose, but the female body was not charred at all. Even the charms attached to her body did not burn. Everyone onlookers were talking about it.
Even a discerning person could see the evildoer. King Zhou stepped down a little, looked into the firelight, and said: "What Feihu said is true, how can we make it show its true form?"
Daji just watched with cold eyes and said nothing, and she was even more concerned about it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Shanglang said, "It must be burned with the Taoist three flavors of true fire to make it reveal its original shape."
There was a slight smile in King Zhou's words, and he teased, "Then the fire just now was just for Gu's sake?"
Ziya smiled but did not answer. He flexed the little finger of his left hand, circled the back of his ring finger, pinched it with his middle finger and pinched the Fire Jue. He exhaled loudly and reprimanded, triggering the real fire from the ground to be extinguished. In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky, higher than before.
The fire from the dry firewood became a hundred times more intense, instantly turning a wooden platform into ashes. On a sunny day, the sound of thunder made everyone stagger in fright, with their hearts beating wildly.
Only King Zhou, Haoran and Jiang Shang remained motionless. When they looked closely, they saw that the female body in the ashes had turned into a jade pipa.
Su Daji felt sad and hateful, but she felt helpless. She forced herself to calm down and said in a sweet voice: "It is indeed a monster. The Taoist Master is indispensable."
King Zhou turned around and returned to his seat. Huang Feihu picked out the pipa from the ashes and handed it to Ziya, motioning for the two of them to come forward. Daji said softly: "Your Majesty, why don't you string up this jade pipa and let me play it for you?"
You play..."
"Yes." King Zhou nodded and said with a smile, "I will follow what my beloved concubine said." He waved to Haoran and Jiang Shang, asking them to come up to the palace.
Jiang Shang placed the pipa on the steps. The two of them were dozens of steps away from Daji, King of Zhou. An internal official took it and presented it to him. However, when Su Daji saw the two of them, she could not help but gasp.
King Zhou said: "Jiang Shang has made great achievements in exterminating demons, so he will be given the post of a great official."
Jiang Shang was busy thanking him, and there was silence all around. There was a unique fragrance that was refreshing. Even though Jiang Shang had cultivated for more than 70 years, he couldn't bear it. His mind was dizzy for a while. Haoran hurriedly stretched out a hand and held Jiang Ziya.
.Looking towards the steps, he met King Zhou’s eyes.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Haoran knew that this was the best time to sneak into the palace to look for the Xuanyuan Sword. He looked at Su Daji again. He was thinking about what to say, so that King Zhou could give him an official position to make things easier.
.Finally, his eyes fell on a piece of colorful silk held in the jade arm of the fox demon.
"What's your name?" King Zhou suddenly asked.
"Haoran."
"Come forward again."
Haoran followed the instructions and walked a few steps and stood within three feet of King Zhou. Su Daji's expression changed for a moment and she hurriedly held King Zhou's arm, unwilling to let go.
Jiang Shangji whispered, "One of the seven magic weapons, the world's most powerful treasure. Brother Haoran, be careful."
It is said that in ancient times, Nuwa created humans by immersing a piece of silk in muddy water, then waved it out, and when it fell to the ground, all the mud turned into a human. From then on, men and women were paired up in the world, and Nuwa was regarded as the god of love who brings men and women together in the world.
A treasure mixed with innate yin and yang turbid energy. It has the power of enchantment and confuses all living beings. Later, it was given to a fox demon and brought to Chaoge for the convenience of confusing the emperor. It was called the "World-Qing Yuan Nang". It was no less powerful than the Thunderous Whip.
magic weapon.
However, this turbid energy collided with Haoran's innate righteousness, and the ice melted away and dispersed invisible. Daji was puzzled in her heart. No matter how high the cultivation level of the man in front of her was, he could not make Nuwa's magic weapon useless. What on earth was going on?
Already?
The fragrance gradually faded away, and King Zhou was charmed for a long time, never leaving Daji's side all day long. At this time, Haoran's righteousness and turbidity collided with each other, and the righteousness prevailed, making King Zhou's mind clear for a moment, his eyes were blurred, and finally he looked bright. Question
Said: "Where have I seen you before?"
Haoran looked at King Zhou and thought to himself, if Daji had not been deceived, no, if this damn foolish king had not written poems to blaspheme the gods in Lishan, he would have been a beautiful man with both talent and appearance.
King Zhou was in his early thirties, in his prime, with eyes like bright stars, thick eyebrows like swords, a high nose bridge, wide lips and a clear spirit, and a handsome appearance. Looking at his figure, he was half a head taller than Haoran. He was handsome.
The aura of an emperor makes people unconsciously want to surrender before him.
Looking at the fox demon again, his eyes were in a trance, and he was lost in his thoughts. Haoran couldn't help but secretly laugh. If it hadn't been for the world-class treasure, and without Nuwa as a great backer, he wouldn't have known who had bewitched whom.
King Zhou asked again, and Haoran regained his composure and replied, "No."
Daji rolled her eyes several times and scolded, "You are so bold and cunning, how can you not kneel down?"
Haoran glanced at the fox demon for a few times, and he knew it, and he was too lazy to talk to Daji Duolong again.
As soon as he said this, everyone in your highness screamed, as if someone was about to rush forward to capture Haoran. King Zhou waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and retorted, "As the emperor, the king is sent by heaven and earth to rule the four directions incarnation of the true dragon; in the whole world, there is no one like the king."
Tutu, on the shore of Tutu, could it be that the king’s ministers are kneeling to heaven and earth, why not kneel to the king?”
Haoran thought for a moment. According to the legend, King Zhou was extremely intelligent in reasoning and skilled in both civil and military affairs. It seems that the records in the history books are correct on this point. Then he replied: "The emperor is a human servant, why should he kneel down when he sees his own servant?"
Upon hearing this, even Huang Feihu was moved and angrily shouted, "How bold! You won't back down yet!"
"Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs, Hou Yi shot the sun, killed Ba snakes, and cut down the strong wind. Why not serve as a servant?" Haoran pondered for a moment and then replied, "The eternal wise kings Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang all did everything in their lives.
For the sake of the common people, worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. Isn't this just a servant's nature, so what is it?"
Haoran paused for a moment and then said: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. Xia Jie regarded the people of Li as sheep to be driven away and property to be squandered, until the sheep turned against them and the people turned against each other and became Tangyi.
This is how you gain a kingdom, has your Majesty forgotten?"
His Highness Prime Minister Shang Rong, Yabi Gan, Wucheng King Huang Feihu and others all looked at each other. They were not only surprised because King Zhou had been obsessed with beauty for a long time, but he would argue with a commoner today, and also because of Haoran's "worry about the world first".
"Worried" and the crowd was in a state of excitement.
"Wrong" King Zhou replied, "The Son of Heaven is a father, not a servant. You can't tell the difference between a father and a servant. It's your nature: a father must wholeheartedly plan for his children. Often foolish children regard their parents as slaves, but they don't
Think about the reason behind this. Are your parents here?"
Haoran didn't expect King Zhou's thinking to be so clear, but he was left speechless. For a while, he couldn't catch the flaw in the other party's words, so he had to argue: "If you don't treat yourself as a servant, how can you be called an orphan?
Ignorant?"
These words were extremely unreasonable. The target of the attack was separated from the monarch, his subjects and the people in the broad sense, and pointed directly at King Zhou himself. However, the latter was not angry, he just laughed and did not care about Haoran. He asked again, "Are your parents still alive? All cultivators are free.
Abandoning your wife and children, your mother and your father, it shows that you don’t understand.”
Haoran said sadly, "I have had no parents since I was a child."
"War?" King Zhou asked again.
Haoran shook his head and nodded again.
King Zhou continued: "If there is no king to protect the people and rule the world, this Chinese state will be in the fire and water, and the people will leave their homes and lose their loved ones. In the ancient times, Gonggong climbed up to Buzhou Mountain, the pillar of the world, and the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed.
Empress Nuwa, one of the three emperors, built stones to mend the sky and save the people, but you don’t kneel down when you see her?”
Haoran was so convinced that he had to kneel down slowly. King Zhou stood up again and walked out of the steps in front of the palace. As the day went westward, there were flocks of egrets on the horizon, screaming by. The mountain on the school field shouted "Long live" and "Sheng Ming".
The sound is endless.
King Zhou's palms were generous and warm, and his fingers were slender and strong. He held Haoran's hand and helped him up. Haoran sighed, and thought about the chaos of his life and coming. He had a heavy mission and didn't know when he would be able to complete it. His heart ached beyond words.
He couldn't say even a single word. After King Zhou returned to the throne, he stretched out his arm for Daji to hold, and said, "I don't know why, but when I see you, I feel happy. It's like brothers who are separated from each other, and I unconsciously want to get close to you."
As soon as these words came out, all the Highnesses were frightened. Even Jiang Ziya raised his head in confusion, with puzzlement in his eyes. The emperor would actually say this in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The glory of Haoran is just around the corner.
However, beside King Zhou, the fox demon had already been itching with hatred. First, the sister Wang Guiren appeared back to her original form. Her awe-inspiring righteousness was overwhelming, making her breathless. She just wanted to take King Zhou away from this man first.
, without being disturbed by the righteousness of heaven and earth, the Qingshi Yuan Nang can continue to confuse. Daji subconsciously grasped King Zhou's arm with a jade hand. Her green nails almost dug into the flesh, and only heard King Zhou say: "You also stay here
I have an official position in the palace, and if I have time to have a good chat with you, I will accept..."
Seeing that it was a done deal, Daji was anxious and angry. Finally, she thought of a way. She let out a cry, turned her eyes white, and passed out. King Zhou Fang turned his head in shock, holding Daji in one hand, not knowing what had happened. At that time, the imperial doctor Xuan summoned the palace people.
