The tall and majestic palace was as magnificent as a painting. The palaces and pavilions were arranged in rows and orderly. The roof of the double-eave hall was covered with ink-black glazed tiles with green edges. Under the illumination of the sky, it flickered with a faint light.
The black roof, brown walls, and simple and elegant style made people feel solemn and solemn when they arrived at the center of the world's power.
In the narrow palace path, a slightly hunched and respectful old servant led Yan Chunqiu straight to Jingping Hall.
This old servant was surnamed Zhang. He was an old man beside the Emperor. Although he did not have much power, he was deeply trusted by the Emperor. He led the way and sighed softly." I am also an old man, but this is the first time I have seen such a phenomenon. It is said that if there is a phenomenon in the sky, something big will happen. The King summoned you to the palace urgently for this matter. You need to prepare early."”
"Thank you for your reminder, I understand.”Yan Chunqiu smiled and nodded.
Attendant Zhang hesitated for a moment and said,"His Majesty's condition has worsened recently. If this strange phenomenon is not a good omen but a bad one, please be careful, Imperial Preceptor."”
Yan Chunqiu stroked his long beard with his fingers and said slowly,"Is Chamberlain Zhang afraid that this old man will say something wrong and provoke His Majesty?" There is no need to worry. I know how to answer the king's doubts!”
"So Imperial Preceptor has already made up his mind. This time, this old servant has spoken too much.”Attendant Zhang apologized and then said nothing more.
After passing through many halls, they arrived at the Jingping Hall in a short while. Two bronze statues of monsters that looked like dragons were erected in front of the steps of the Jingping Hall. They were made of crocodile heads, antlers, prawn whiskers, fish scales, eagle claws, snake bodies, and bird wings. The eyes of these monsters were inlaid with two fiery red beads that were emitting a faint flame. When Yan Chunqiu and the other two arrived, the eyeballs of the two monsters moved and stared at them fiercely.
Yan Chunqiu had personally crafted these two statues of monsters that looked like dragons. He had used Kunshan Copper, Thunder Stone, Psychic Wood, Spiritual Heart Fire Ape's pearl, the blood of seven kinds of desolate beasts, the souls of two evil flood dragons, and other precious materials. He had activated the Earth Core Evil Fire and spent 49 days to craft them.
The Spirit Heart Fire Ape was gifted and was able to discern the good and evil of a person's heart. Its pearl was naturally extraordinary, and it had also inherited a portion of the Spirit Heart Fire Ape's talent. It was used to refine the eyeball of the bronze statue monster. If anyone with killing intent approached this place, they would definitely not be able to hide from their eyes and would be able to fly up on their own to resist the enemy.
Although Attendant Zhang didn't have any killing intent, he still managed to intimidate the two bronze statues. It wasn't until Yan Chunqiu waved his sleeve that the fierce aura disappeared.
"Thank you, Imperial Preceptor!"
Chamberlain Zhang cupped his hands in thanks and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Every time he passed by this place, it was as if he had walked through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire. It made people feel uneasy.
Yan Chunqiu waved his hand, indicating that it was fine.
The two of them walked up the stairs and entered the hall after being notified by the Imperial Army guards outside.
The hall was grand and magnificent. The beams were made of sandalwood, and the lights were made of crystal jade. A lifelike dragon was carved on each of the sixteen purple gold pillars, making it look especially majestic.
Prince Yin was handsome and dressed in a black imperial robe. He looked to be no more than forty people. Right now, he was sitting on a spacious throne, burying his head in front of a table and reading memorials. His slightly pale face looked a little sickly and weak, which washed away some of the imperial dignity on him. Seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids were carefully waiting on him by the side, occasionally helping him pass memorials.
As soon as he entered, Yan Chunqiu immediately smelled a faint medicinal smell. He understood that King Yin had just finished using the medicine and sighed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Preceptor has arrived." Imperial Attendant Zhang stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
When King Yin heard this, his hand paused slightly. He placed the Sapphire Wolf Brush on the brush that was shaped like a five-fingered mountain. Then, he slowly raised his head and coughed violently.
"I am Yan Chunqiu. Greetings, Your Majesty.”Yan Chunqiu stepped forward and bowed.
A trace of a smile appeared on King Yin's pale face as he ordered his men," You may leave first and close the door. I have something to discuss with the Imperial Advisor alone. No one is allowed to enter during this period."”
"Yes!"
The palace maids answered in unison. They bowed slightly and slowly took a few steps back before leaving Jingping Hall in an orderly manner. With a soft "Ka Ka" sound, the two people who were at the back closed the door of the hall.
Seeing that the palace maids had already left, Prince Yin raised his hand and supported him." There's no need to be so polite. We haven't seen each other for a while. Please come and sit."”
Yan Chunqiu shook his head and bluntly refused," The etiquette between monarch and subject cannot be abandoned. I'd better stand."”
King Yin sighed lightly and personally got up to move a low stool. He patted the surface of the stool and said with a sincere smile," There are only the two of us here now. You are the elder and I am the junior.”
Yan Chunqiu hesitated for a while before stepping forward. He lifted his robe and sat on a low stool. He looked at King Yin in front of him." This time, you summoned me into the palace. Does Zhong Hua want to ask about the meaning of the phenomenon of the sun, moon, and stars appearing in the sky?"”
King Yin smiled helplessly," Imperial Uncle still doesn't like to beat around the bush. Can't he talk about his daily life with Zhong Hua before bringing up such a serious topic?"”
Then, he brewed a cup of fragrant tea and handed it to Yan Chunqiu.
Yan Chunqiu took the teacup and lifted the lid. He gently brushed the steaming tea and said leisurely," You have to say it sooner or later, right? How does Zhonghua want me to solve it? What do you mean?"
The smile on King Yin's face gradually faded as he solemnly said," Imperial Uncle Ancestor, please tell me the truth. I disdain to do such a thing, and I don't want to do it. Whether it's a disaster or a blessing, a blessing or a curse, Zhong Hua wants to know clearly. Do you understand?”
"I understand, I understand!"
Yan Chunqiu nodded and smiled. He took a sip of tea and moistened his throat." Since you want to know, I won't hide it from you. To be honest, regarding this phenomenon, the heavenly secrets are chaotic and difficult to understand. Moreover, the Tribulation Qi is abundant and covers up each other. If you want to calculate it in depth, I'm afraid that I can't do it with my cultivation. I can only dissect it from the surface. What I'm going to say next is all nonsense. Don't worry too much about it.”
King Yin nodded and said," I'll remember Royal Granduncle's words. As for the meaning of the phenomenon, you can say it!”
Yan Chunqiu slowly put down his teacup and was silent for a long time before he broke the gradually oppressive atmosphere." There are no two suns in the sky and no two masters in the country. I privately think this is a sign of chaos in the country!”
