The blooming spiritual flowers exude a refreshing fragrance at night, and Kong Jue, who is among them, can't help but take a few more breaths of the fresh scent with floral fragrance.
On his left, the prince walked at a leisurely pace, introducing to him in detail some precious spiritual plants in the garden.
Kong Ju would chime in from time to time, and on the surface they seemed quite harmonious.
The two also talked about the customs and habits of Wudong, and the differences between Tianqi and Wudong.
Kong Ju couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. This prince was indeed full of wisdom. Whenever he talked about some of Wudong's secrets, he always hit the point directly.
In addition, the prince had an extraordinary manner of conversation, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, and was gentle and elegant without showing any dominance, which gave Kong Ju a sense of intimacy.
This made Kong Qi unable to help but feel some favor towards him in his heart.
"The Second Prince is already a rare talent, and the Crown Prince is even more extraordinary."
The more this happened, the more Kong Ju became wary of the prince. If he was always like this, perfect and flawless without a single blemish.
The scheming of this kind of person is almost demonic.
There are countless people in the court and the country who are willing to submit to him, and his status as the Crown Prince of Tianqi will almost never be shaken.
Kong Ju secretly reminded herself many times not to be too fond of the man in front of her and to know her position clearly.
The two chatted for a long time.
We have reached the depths of Qinchun Garden.
I don't know when the several servants who followed closely behind me stopped catching up.
In the silent night, there were only Kong Ju and the prince. The gentle spiritual lamp emitted soft light, stretching their shadows very long.
At this time, the prince who was walking in front suddenly stopped.
Kong Ju heard his usual gentle voice: "I heard that Master Bingpo auctioned some items in Xunyu Pavilion in exchange for spirit crystals."
"Is Master Bingpo in trouble?"
"How does he even know this? Does the prince have some voyeurism?" Kong Ju secretly criticized the prince's behavior, but smiled awkwardly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that he is obsessed with alchemy, so he needs more expenses."
"The Cangwu Sect is the largest sect in Wudong. As the direct disciple of Sect Leader Huangfu, Master Bingpo doesn't even have these resources?" The prince asked this sincerely, and the confusion in his eyes did not seem to be fake.
This question made Kong Qi blush.
The prince's question was like "Why not eat meat porridge?"
After all, considering his status as the crown prince, Kong Ju, as the sect leader's first disciple, should not be short of spirit crystals.
But in Wudong, the Tianqi royal family’s way of doing things is not popular.
No matter whose disciple you are, you have to earn the resources for cultivation on your own.
There are times when I just need help from my teacher, such as when I am using the Sanjiu Yinlei Jue or the Shenglun Dan.
Huangfu Ying would occasionally lend a helping hand, which was already an exception among exceptions.
Kong Ju could only respond: "Master is very self-disciplined. He is reluctant to use the sect's resources and puts the sect's interests first."
"So that's how it is. No wonder the Cangwu sect was able to go against the current." The prince nodded, thoughtfully.
The topic came to this point, and the prince did not beat around the bush. He raised his head lightly, looked at Kong Ju in front of him and said, "How much do you know about Chaodi Ancient City, Master Bingpo?"
Kong Ju's light golden eyes met the prince's, and he didn't know what the latter was up to and why he suddenly mentioned the Chaodi Ancient City.
However, the Chaodi Ancient City was no secret to the crown prince, and Kong Ju had no intention of hiding anything.
After taking a short break, he told the news he knew about the Chaodi Ancient City:
"I heard that Chaodi Ancient City was built when His Majesty the White Emperor ascended to the Immortal Realm."
"When the royal bloodline of each generation reaches the end of their life span, they will take the initiative to enter the Chaodi Ancient City. It is more like a burial ground than a city."
The prince nodded slightly, not intending to interrupt Kong Ju, who could only continue, "The White Emperor's merits are comparable to those of creation, and he has forged a hundred Heirloom Tokens to distribute throughout the world. Except for the White Emperor's bloodline who are approaching the end of their life span, only those holding Heirloom Tokens can enter."
"I heard that there are countless tombs of outstanding people from your dynasty in the Chaodi Ancient City. They contain their lifelong inheritance. Those who have enough opportunities can take them."
This is all Kong Qi knew.
Even his own master Huangfu Ying seemed to know little about the Chaodi Ancient City. He only knew that the Chaodi Ancient City was a great opportunity.
After that, Kong Ju raised his eyes and said softly: "After all, the Chaodi Ancient City is related to the secrets of the royal family. This is all I know."
The prince didn't seem surprised. Even Monk Tianqi was confused about the Chaodi Ancient City, so it was no surprise that Kong Ju was a monk from Wudong.
He nodded, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "The Chaodi Ancient City opens once every sixty years. Anyone holding a handed-down spirit can enter, whether they are ordinary civilians or strange monsters."
"But there is a restriction. Only monks below the level of Master Sheng can enter Chaodi Ancient City."
"Master Bingpo, do you know why our ancestor, Emperor Bai, distributed the heirloom order to the world?"
Kong Ju still didn't quite understand the prince's intention, so he could only patiently reply, "I don't know about that."
"The White Emperor once said that the fate of the dynasty depends on all living beings. It is just like the fate of a cultivator. Sometimes it reaches the pinnacle, and sometimes it falls to the bottom. It is difficult for it to prosper for a long time."
"To maintain the dynasty, when the crown prince's luck is at its peak, the luck must be spread throughout the world and shared with the people. When the luck is not yet at its peak, the luck of all living beings must be used to nourish the country's luck."
“That’s how the order came into being.”
"The Chaodi Ancient City is an opportunity for all living beings. For our Tianqi Dynasty, the Legend Order is also the key to maintaining the foundation of our national destiny."
Hearing the prince's detailed account, Kong Ju's eyes flashed with surprise, and he sighed in his heart: "The White Emperor is truly a hero of the world."
The concept of luck is illusory, and Kong Ju can only see the luck above the cultivator's head with the help of the cloud pattern stele.
Baidi was already able to glimpse the destiny of a country.
And use the method of passing down orders to continue the country's destiny.
"No wonder the Tianqi Dynasty has lasted for thousands of years." Kong Ju suddenly understood.
I also understood the purpose of Baidi building the ancient city of Chaodi.
It's nothing more than mutual benefit.
"Why is the prince telling me all this?" After understanding the secret of Chaodi Ancient City, Kong Ju became more and more confused as to why the prince told him these truths.
While Kong Ju was thinking.
The prince's expression suddenly became solemn, and a hint of strength emerged in his eyes.
"The opportunities in the Chaodi Ancient City can be taken by anyone who holds the Heirloom Token."
"But there is one thing that our Tianqi Dynasty cannot share with all living beings."
"Especially those villains who covet our Tianqi Dynasty. My royal bloodline entered the Chaodi Ancient City with the heirloom order, one for the inheritance of our ancestors, and two for the purpose of defending the things that cannot be made public."
"For Master Bingpo, Chaodi Ancient City is an opportunity, but for me, Chaodi Ancient City is a test."
Kong Ju opened his mouth, wanting to ask what it was that made the prince so cautious.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
But it seemed inappropriate to ask at this time, so I could only keep silent.
At this time, the prince suddenly changed the subject and looked at Kong Ju sincerely: "Before the opening of the Chaodi Ancient City this time, my dynasty's important weapon will be used as a warning to the world. The golden light will not fade for three days and three nights."
"There may be a disaster that threatens the fate of our Tianqi nation."
"Father speculated that the disaster was most likely caused by the Chaodi Ancient City."
The prince's words have become a royal secret.
Kong Ju was terrified upon hearing this. If the prince had no reason to attack him, he would have almost thought that the prince was going to attack him.
He tightened his hands slightly inside his sleeves and found that sweat was already oozing out of his palms.
"Why are you telling me these things? I didn't ask!"
Kong Ju secretly groaned in his heart. He had no interest in the mess in the Tianqi Dynasty, otherwise he would not have just left it alone after taking back Prince Yaoyun's body.
The prince's words today seemed like he was going to drag him down with him.
"This is a matter concerning Tianqi's national destiny. How can I control it? I don't even want to hear about it."
Kong Ju's thoughts quickly flashed, and he could only reply dryly: "The Crown Prince is worthy of being the crown prince of Tianqi. He cares about the dynasty. It is a blessing for the people of Tianqi to have a crown prince."
Kong Ju's slippery response made the prince smile slightly, but inviting Kong Ju here today was definitely not as simple as telling the truth or secrets.
Today, he must drag Kong Ju into the water.
He immediately said lightly: "Young Master Bingpo came from a foreign land, I shouldn't have troubled you."
"But this time it is very serious, the Qingluan uncles and the fifth aunt also take it very seriously."
"Fifth Aunt said that she will not interfere with your decision, but it would be great if you are willing to lend a helping hand to our dynasty."
"Did the master's wife say this?" Kong Ju frowned, half believing and half doubting.
But he lives in Princess Qing's mansion, so we can find out whether he has told us or not just by asking him.
A man like the prince, whose intelligence is almost demonic, would not lie about something that could be easily exposed.
However, Kong Ju was extremely unwilling to do so, and unless his master's wife brought it up in person, he would pretend not to know.
Kong Ju made a decision immediately, and just as he cleared his throat and was about to refuse.
The prince suddenly said lightly, "It won't be too much trouble, Master Bingpo. I just need you to block one person for me when the time comes. You can just leave the others alone."
"Of course, I will not let Master Bingpo's work go in vain. I will give you a Calming Pill as a reward."
"Whether to take action or not is still up to Master Kong to decide."
"Calming pill?" The words that were about to come out of Kong Ju's mouth were swallowed back immediately after hearing these three words.
That is the best of the third-grade elixirs.
At the Xunyu Pavilion auction that day, his master's wife used a Calming Pill as an additional bonus and outbid Princess Qingyang to win the Purple Fantasy Pupil.
Its value is immeasurable, conservatively estimated to be over 100,000 spirit crystals.
If it were put up for auction, the price could be as much as 50,000 yuan higher.
In other words, the prince directly asked himself to take action once for 150,000 spirit crystals.
The prince is not an ordinary person, but he knows what others lack.
When he asked about Kong Jue's spiritual crystal just now, he must have been paving the way for this matter.
For a poor man like Kong Jue, nothing could be more straightforward than this.
As expected, when Kong Ju heard about the tranquilizing pill, the words of refusal came to his lips, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Damn it! Everyone in the Tianqi royal family is so fat." He was so jealous that his eyes turned red, but reason prevented him from nodding his head immediately.
Instead, he became a little more alert and said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Who is the prince going to kill?"
The prince said that I only needed to help him resist one person, which meant that I only needed to help him fight one battle.
There is no need to get too involved in the vortex of the Tianqi royal family.
There are risks though.
For the sake of the tranquilizing pill, Kong Ju decided to do it.
Kong Ju's reaction made the prince's mouth curl up slightly.
But soon, it was covered by a cold expression.
He spoke a name in a deep voice: "The Holy Son of Gujiang, Yu Suo Fangming." (End of this chapter)
