Chapter 115 The situation has been formed, will I be trapped too? The future master of Daxia
Yangchun City, Qi Mansion.
In the remote but quiet courtyard, Qi Qingxuan, as usual, recited the Altar of State and Country Sutra several times before noon before going to the kitchen to collect his daily breakfast.
"Lord Wei, I have to go to Jiyun Temple with the old lady and the others. The old lady is very generous and never hesitates to give rewards. I just want to borrow the Tai Sui book from her to read."
"The master of Jiyun Temple is quite appreciative of me."
While chewing a steamed bun, he spoke to Wei Gong, who seemed to be squinting his eyes and breathing out the morning glow in the courtyard.
Duke Wei had no white beard, but a childlike face and white hair. His complexion was very ruddy, and he was wearing a robe that had been washed so much that it looked whitish. He was a head shorter than ordinary people.
"Don't worry, Third Young Master. I will protect your safety in secret." Hearing this, he began to speak.
Qi Qingxuan didn't mean that.
Over the years, he had not encountered any danger, but every time he went on a long journey, he was required to inform Duke Wei.
"Lord Wei, there is no need to go through so much trouble. Jiyun Temple is not far from Yangchun City. It will take only a few hours to get there at most." Qi Qingxuan replied.
Upon hearing this, Duke Wei just shook his head and said nothing, still breathing in the morning glow.
Qi Qingxuan glanced at him and said nothing more.
This is Duke Wei’s habit.
Over the years, he would inhale and exhale the morning glow every morning. In his words, this was the best way to practice.
After a night of sedimentation, every morning, the clear air rises and the turbid air descends. That ray of morning glow is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that is closest to the innate qi. It is inhaled and exhaled all year round and is beneficial to spiritual practice.
Whenever he heard this, Qi Qingxuan would show envy.
He had often heard about spiritual practice, but had never understood it himself. He had always been fascinated by these cultivators who could fly into the sky and escape into the ground.
Most of the younger generations in the Qi family have some cultivation experience. When they reach a certain age, their physique will be checked out. If they are outstanding, the family will also bestow upon them many cultivation resources such as skills and spirit stones.
However, because of his low qualifications and mediocre foundation, he did not receive such treatment.
This is why Qi Qingxuan wanted to change the fate of every poor disciple.
There are many people in this world who achieve success late in life. There are also many people who are born stupid and mediocre but have an epiphany overnight.
It would be too arbitrary to judge a person's life based solely on his early talents and foundation.
It’s a pity that there are too few universities that truly consider the country and the people and are unwilling to waste more resources.
After breakfast, Qi Qingxuan began to tidy up his appearance and changed into a new brocade robe without a single wrinkle on the lapels.
After all, I was traveling with the old lady from the Qi family. If my appearance was not up to par, it would easily displease her.
At the moment, he also plans to borrow the Tai Sui book from him to take a look.
It is said that it was written by a monk named Tai Sui Jushi in his later years. It records his many difficult experiences in his youth, as well as his later open-minded attitude, which has a sense of returning to the ordinary world and simplicity.
The monk had mediocre qualifications at the beginning and had no natural talent for cultivation. He wasted the first half of his life. It was not until he was in his forties that he embarked on the path of cultivation by chance.
Many stories related to it are often circulated among many monks.
Qi Qingxuan was also fascinated by this.
Outside the gate of the Qi Mansion, there were already chariots and horses waiting. The old lady of the Qi family, who was surrounded by red and green jade and covered with jewels, was supported by several maids and walked towards the chariot in front.
The rest of the Qi family's young descendants followed behind, either riding in carriages or riding on fine horses or exotic beasts.
After Qi Qingxuan arrived, not many people noticed him.
A guard led a dark-haired horse to him, and he followed the team, heading out of the city in a mighty manner.
Such a scene is not a strange sight in Yangchun City. The old lady of the Qi family advocates Taoism. On the 15th of every month, she would bring her young descendants to Jiyun Temple to burn incense.
The Daxia royal family also had great respect for Taoism.
It is said that the national teacher once practiced the orthodox Taoism in an immortal sect, and could confer titles and enlightenment on some mountain spirits and wild monsters.
"The old lady called that guy up again. He is just a person who can read a few books, but he showed off in front of Master Jiyun last time and tried to show off..."
"What's the point of learning to study? The family now advocates cultivation and despises Confucianism. If Qi Qingxuan is unwilling and practices Confucianism, he will probably be banished from the Qi family."
"Everyone knows that the current Prime Minister intends to suppress Confucianism, and the family does not want to be involved in these affairs."
Several young descendants of the Qi family who were riding exotic beasts in the front noticed Qi Qingxuan following behind them.
Some people couldn't help but curl their lips in disdain, their eyes full of disgust.
Although Qi Qingxuan is the third master of the Qi family, according to seniority, they still have to call him clan brother.
But few people care about these.
On the contrary, because of the incense-burning event at Jiyun Temple, Qi Qingxuan was highly valued by the old lady, and in the eyes of many of them, he stole their limelight.
However, the Qi family has strict rules and no one would bully Qi Qingxuan openly, but no one would respect him either.
Qi Qingxuan had long been accustomed to this and took it in stride.
The horse's back was quite bumpy. He had no cultivation and felt uncomfortable after sitting for too long, so he took out a book to kill time.
But after watching for a while, he couldn't calm down like usual.
The words that Shang Mingyu said in the small courtyard that day had been echoing in his mind for the past few days, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.
The merit of following the dragon?
What's so special about me? Why did she say that she wanted to help me achieve great things?
Such treason.
But afterwards, when he calmed down, he felt overwhelmed and as if he really had the kind of mentality that comes from being depressed and distressed for a long time.
In the past few days, he would dream of a golden five-clawed dragon, looming in the clouds and mist, as if raising its head and roaring. The dragon's body was trapped in the abyss, unable to soar into the sea, and it let out an unwilling dragon roar that shocked the world.
The brilliant golden light was so real, and every dragon scale seemed to be cast from golden molten iron. It carried with it a mighty and awe-inspiring divine power, as if the Son of Heaven had descended to earth.
Could it be that he really had the potential to be the emperor? Whenever he thought of this, Qi Qingxuan's heart was filled with emotion.
It's a pity that he hasn't seen Shang Mingyu in the past few days, otherwise he could ask her in person. If it's really as she said...
Why wouldn't I dare to do that?
He is just a commoner. If he doesn't even have this kind of spirit, then it is useless for him to read so many ancient books by sages.
On top of a mountain whose name cannot be told.
Jiang Lan stood there with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, and a layer of fairy mist seemed to be lingering on his body, blurring and enveloping his entire figure.
And in his eyes, strange runes flashed one after another.
From where he looked, he could see a looming golden dragon swimming around in Yangchun City, and it seemed like it would take off at any time and leap into the sky.
"The spirit is formed and it has taken shape..."
"But it's so obvious, I'm afraid Shang Mingyu has contacted him and told him something."
"Otherwise, Qi Qingxuan shouldn't be able to condense Dragon Luck so quickly."
Jiang Lan smiled meaningfully.
Things like weather, like luck, are mysterious. He has no idea how they condense or take shape.
However, he did not intend to cover up for Qi Qingxuan, because someone would be anxious before him, and Qi Qingxuan had no power at all now.
It's just a newborn dragon. If it shows its embryonic form so early, it will only be noticed earlier. The result is... it will die prematurely and be killed.
The official road under the mountain where he is now is the only way to Jiyun Temple. He just needs to wait here, and Qi Qingxuan will pass by soon.
With Song Youwei helping him delay the former eunuch chief, he could also devote his attention to making plans for Qi Qingxuan.
He did not return to the Prime Minister's Mansion last night, but informed the mansion that he stayed overnight in Yuxianfang. In fact, he came to Yangchun City with Song Youwei.
This was the time difference he was waiting for.
At this time, in Yangchun City, as Qi Qingxuan's mentality changed, Duke Wei, who had been following him secretly and was responsible for his safety, changed his expression.
He didn't care about too much, and his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in a remote and deserted alley.
Then he flicked his sleeves, and a vast wave of magic power swept towards the sky like a raging wave, directly covering up the strange phenomenon that had just appeared.
Ordinary people naturally cannot see what happened just now, but with his level of cultivation, it is easy to discover the abnormality as long as he pays a little attention.
Not to mention that he knew Qi Qingxuan's identity, so he had been paying attention to the changes in his temperament.
At that moment just now, Duke Wei noticed the change in the aura of this world.
The weather is beginning to take shape, and there are already signs that the dragon's luck is protecting us.
"I hope no one noticed just now."
"However, during this period of time, many people have poured into Yangchun City. Their origins are mysterious, and they are trying to find out about the maids who left the palace. If we don't take action to deal with them, they will probably find the Sixth Prince soon."
Duke Wei's expression darkened slightly, and his eyes flickered.
He has been protecting Qi Qingxuan in Yangchun City for so many years, but he has only encountered this situation in the past few days.
He guessed that the royal family might have noticed that the late emperor had left behind offspring.
So, they began a thorough investigation, focusing their attention on the palace maids who had left the palace many years ago, hoping to determine the identity of the late emperor's heir by following the clues.
This matter is of great importance. It is not only related to the last will and testament left by the late emperor, but also to the stability of the Great Xia country today.
Duke Wei had served the late emperor and was highly respected and trusted by him, otherwise the late emperor would not have entrusted him with such an important task.
Therefore, in order not to alert the enemy, he did not stop them when he heard that they were trying to gather information these days. He wanted to see if he could identify the mastermind behind them and nip any unknown danger in the bud.
But today, Qi Qingxuan suddenly showed signs of dragon luck, and his aura began to take shape.
Duke Wei had no choice but to show up to stop it. Once Qi Qingxuan was noticed by those interested, it would be impossible for him to hide his identity any longer, and he would face endless dangers.
With his current strength, it is difficult to guarantee that Qi Qingxuan can survive.
Not to mention that in the future, according to the will left by the late emperor, he would fight for power from the current Emperor Xia and succeed to the throne.
"It's just a trip to Jiyun Temple. There shouldn't be any danger. The Qi family has many experts."
"For now, we should find out the past of those who investigated this matter and eliminate the troubles in the future."
Duke Wei glanced at the direction where the smoke and dust were rolling, and instead of following it, he disappeared on the spot.
With his level of cultivation, he could move around Yangchun City with ease, and no one could detect his trace.
So in the past few days, he has determined the locations of those who were investigating, and left marks on their bodies, so he knows where they are temporarily staying these days.
Buzz!!! The next moment, the void trembled slightly and became blurry.
Duke Wei's figure flashed, and he appeared in a very quiet mansion in the blink of an eye.
The mansion did not occupy a large area, with red walls and green tiles, courtyards and pavilions, flowing water, rockery, and pavilions and terraces arranged in an orderly manner. His arrival did not attract anyone's attention.
"What are the results of the investigation in the past few days?"
Faintly, he could hear a female voice that sounded mute and indifferent.
"Reporting to the lord, the investigation has been almost completed. The most suspicious one is the Qi family. The former head of the Qi family married a retired palace maid and took her as a concubine. They had a son named Qi Qingxuan." One of the voices replied respectfully.
"Qi Qingxuan?"
The hoarse female voice muttered the name, as if she was thinking.
"Coincidentally, is the person behind the scenes here?"
"We have already investigated the Qi family. It seems that we really cannot keep them here. We have arrived just in time."
Hearing the words coming from the other side, Duke Wei narrowed his eyes, filled with murderous intent, then he revealed his figure and walked over.
As soon as he revealed his murderous intent, the people who were talking over there immediately noticed it.
The woman with a hoarse voice immediately looked over and shouted coldly, "Who is here?"
Duke Wei's face was indifferent and cold, and he did not answer. His wide robe rolled up, and the whole mansion seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable aura.
Then the sky and the earth became dark, and a misty atmosphere surged in it, making it blurry and hazy.
"The power of the domain..."
The expressions of the people who were talking in the pavilion suddenly changed.
The woman in the lead had a sallow complexion and ordinary looks, with her hair pinned up with a simple wooden hairpin.
Seeing this, he raised his wrist, and instantly a hazy light burst out.
It was a string of crystal bone beads, flashing with strange light. The moment they flew out, vein-like light spread, as if turning into a small star field, evolving there. The scene was astonishing.
"You are overestimating your own abilities. With your abilities, you dare to try to investigate something that you shouldn't investigate."
Duke Wei just casually pointed his finger, and the string of terrifying bone beads exploded directly in the void, turning into powder and ashes all over the sky.
Bang, bang, bang…
Several sounds were heard in succession.
As for the rest, they didn't even have time to say a word before they were torn into pieces by his casual palm strike and exploded into a blood mist that filled the sky.
He has already developed murderous intentions and will not allow anyone in this mansion to leave.
The marks he left in the past few days are all here. If nothing unexpected happens, the group of people who have been investigating the Sixth Prince during this period are all here.
"At least he is a being in the seventh realm..."
The woman with a sallow face was naturally Song Youwei in disguise.
Seeing this scene, her expression changed slightly.
She followed Jiang Lan's instructions and plan, coming here to wait for Duke Wei's arrival and try to delay him as much as possible.
However, Jiang Lan did not tell her that this person was very powerful, but just told her to be as careful as possible.
"Delaying a Seventh Realm being is not easy..."
"He really thinks highly of me."
Song Youwei became much more cautious and did not dare to show any contempt.
"You still want to escape right under my nose?"
Duke Wei said calmly, the powerful and terrifying aura was like a violent storm or a falling mountain top, oppressing the people here so much that they turned pale and almost couldn't breathe.
Someone not far away tried to escape and break through the mist-like substance, but before he got close, he was shaken into a bloody mist by the powerful aura, and he didn't even have time to scream.
Song Youwei had many thoughts in her mind, and she said in a hoarse voice, "A seventh-level being is living in seclusion in Yangchun City. It seems that our investigation was correct. Qi Qingxuan's identity is indeed special..."
Duke Wei's face turned cold, with a divine light flowing in his eyes and a terrifying aura. He said calmly, "Tell me your origins, and perhaps I can consider forgiving you this time."
Song Youwei sneered, "Do you think it's possible?"
"court death."
Seeing that she was not knowing whether to live or die, Duke Wei's face turned even colder. He simply stopped talking nonsense and captured them directly to search their souls.
However, when he stretched out his hand and grabbed one of them, the other person's sea of consciousness exploded with a bang. It was obvious that the restriction within was triggered.
"If you want to search souls, you're probably going to be disappointed."
Song Youwei sneered and took out a magic weapon. A bright white light flowed. It was a jade bracelet, emitting a hazy glow. It was like a silk thread that cut through the void and smashed towards Duke Wei, as if it weighed tens of millions of pounds.
"As expected, you are well prepared. In that case, then you can all stay here."
Duke Wei's expression was still very cold. The big hand that had just reached out slightly changed direction and grabbed the jade bracelet that Song Youwei had offered, wanting to destroy it.
One rune after another flashed, rumbling like thunder, with a terrifying sound.
If it happened in the outside world, it would be enough to blow up a mountain.
But in the hands of Duke Wei, it disappeared instantly without leaving any ripples.
Song Youwei's expression changed slightly. The strength of the Seventh Realm was indeed extraordinary. Moreover, she had a feeling that the old eunuch in front of her was probably at a level higher than the Seventh Realm.
Even some elders of the Blood Immortal Sect do not have such powerful strength as him.
"Either he is in the late stage of the Dharma Realm, or he has already stepped half a step into the eighth realm..."
"How can I delay this?"
"Are you going to trick me too?"
Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she had no time to think any more. If she didn't come up with some tricks, she might really be left here by this old eunuch.
Thinking of this, Song Youwei's body was radiant with a bright light, and her originally sallow face seemed to become dignified and precious.
She raised her jade hand, her magic power surged, and a jade plate with brilliant Buddha light emerged, with an astonishing aura, which she directly sacrificed.
At the same time, she made a seal with her other hand, and in an instant, her figure became blurred, and nine similar shadows appeared behind her at the same time, like a bright moon split into nine phantoms, and she took nine forms and fled in nine directions of the mansion.
The breath flowing like mist enveloped the entire mansion, ensuring that any movement and aura here would not be transmitted to the outside world.
However, Song Youwei was well prepared. A gorgeous and dazzling treasure floated up and down from above her head, like a delicate and miniature tower, but it was filled with the light of dim stars.
As she transformed into nine forms, the aura of this small tower appeared above the heads of every phantom.
The bright starlight gathered together, and then the next moment in her hand, it turned into a ray of incredibly sharp star sword energy, which forcibly tore through the mist in an attempt to break through and escape.
"At this age, you have such strength. Who are you? Not only do you know the Nine Transformations of the Star and Moon Sect, but you also have the rare treasure, the Exquisite Starry Tower?"
Duke Wei had a cold expression and angry eyes. He recognized the origin of the rare treasure and was even more surprised and shocked at Song Youwei's identity.
The Xingyue Sect had long since been destroyed and disappeared, but there are still related records in the royal family.
He gathered the territory of this place to prevent Song Youwei from escaping. At the same time, the magic power around him was steaming, and runes and Tao rules were flashing, constantly connecting together, trying to turn into a cage to trap Song Youwei.
However, he still underestimated Song Youwei's methods at the moment when he was closing in his territory.
Six of Song Youwei's phantoms suddenly changed direction and attacked him. The bright and dazzling starlight splashed down. Although it was beautiful, it contained icy murderous intent.
Song Youwei's real body took advantage of this opportunity to tear itself out of the area.
…
The official road was rugged and Qi Qingxuan felt uncomfortable while riding on horseback.
Without any cultivation, he couldn't withstand just being away from Yangchun City for a short while. Unlike the others, they had magic power to protect themselves from the bumps and their bodies would not feel sore or tired.
"It will take several hours to get to Jiyun Temple. It's really a torture..."
He looked to the front of the team. The chariots were extremely luxurious and splendidly decorated. They moved steadily and were adorned with gold, jade, pearls, and cinnabar powder. One chariot after another was like a group of immortals traveling on earth.
Even the rare birds and beasts following behind him were shining brightly, puffing out clouds and mist.
Just when Qi Qingxuan was feeling envious, a notice came from the front of the team, asking everyone to go to the pavilion in front to rest for a while.
He also took this opportunity to dismount, intending to stretch his muscles and go to the jungle to relieve himself.
The jungle was very dense, and in order to avoid being noticed, Qi Qingxuan deliberately walked a few more steps. There was a slow stream passing by.
After urinating, Qi Qingxuan went to the stream to wash his hands.
But he didn't know if it was his illusion, but suddenly, the noisy sounds in his ears disappeared.
Even the stream in front of me slowed down, and the sound of flowing water quickly disappeared.
The world suddenly became extremely quiet with the sound of wind, chirping of insects and singing of birds.
His face showed shock and horror, and he had no idea what was going on. He turned his head and saw a spotless figure in white silently appearing on the bluestone behind him, looking at him quietly.
I couldn't see his face, I could only vaguely see the blurry face shrouded by fairy mist. His eyes were as calm as the deep sea, like a truly immortal who was ethereal and lofty.
“You… who are you?”
Qi Qingxuan was deeply shocked, but his years of self-cultivation helped him stay calm and not panic.
Although he had no cultivation experience, he still had some understanding of the methods used by cultivators.
The white-clothed figure in front of him should be a cultivator with extremely high cultivation level.
But why did the other party suddenly come to him? "Qi Qingxuan, the third young master of the Qi family in Yangchun City."
"My mother's name was Zhou Yun. She once served Concubine Xuan in the palace. Later, she returned to her hometown and came to Yangchun City. She married the head of the Qi family as a concubine and gave birth to a son for him. She died of illness many years ago."
"During the years in the Qi family, you were mediocre in talent and were not favored by your father. Even your peers in the clan often looked down on you. Many years ago, the Qi family chose a marriage for you, but the other party rejected you outright without even meeting you because of your background."
"I have studied the Five Classics for many years and have great talent and ambition. Unfortunately, I am depressed and have no chance to display my talents. I intend to change the government and the situation of poor students in the world. I also hope that everyone can be like a dragon..."
Jiang Lan did not answer Qi Qingxuan's question, but continued talking to himself.
Qi Qingxuan opened his eyes wide, looking at him in surprise and shock, not understanding why he knew him so well.
He even knew his own ambitions and aspirations very clearly.
"Am I right about this?" Jiang Lan asked.
Qi Qingxuan nodded subconsciously, and still asked in shock, "Who are you?"
However, Jiang Lan still did not answer, but said with interest, "No, I'm not right."
"Your name is not Qi Qingxuan, your name is actually Xia Qingxuan, and your mother is not Zhou Yun, but Empress Xuan, the concubine of the late emperor of Great Xia."
"Before you were born, Zhou Yun had been a maid serving your mother, Concubine Xuan, to protect you from being harmed by treacherous people in the court."
"Zhou Yun followed your mother's instructions and married the current head of the Qi family at an early age. She also used a secret method to delay the birth of the fetus, just to make it easier for you to be born and switch babies..."
"You are the elder brother of the current Emperor Xia, and the legitimate Prince of Daxia."
"What……"
Hearing these words, Qi Qingxuan's head buzzed, as if a bolt from the blue had struck him directly, shocking him so much that he stood there in a daze, simply unable to believe it.
He was actually the brother of the current Emperor Xia? His mother was the former Concubine Xuan? These news were too shocking and unbelievable for him to accept for a while.
"You... who are you?"
After coming to his senses, Qi Qingxuan looked at Jiang Lan in front of him, and an uncontrollable tremor surged in his heart.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this information be a shocking secret? How did he know about it?
Why did he tell me so openly? "It doesn't matter who I am. The Sixth Prince only needs to know that you are the legitimate emperor of Daxia today."
"You are now a well-known figure with good luck. I think it won't be long before people start to notice you."
"There are many people with ulterior motives among them. I come to you to help you." Jiang Lan said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, Qi Qingxuan felt relieved and relaxed a little.
He thought of Shang Mingyu, who had said that she was willing to assist him. At that time, he didn't understand why she was so sure that he could achieve great success.
Now, after listening to the explanation of the mysterious man in white, he suddenly understood... that he was a true noble, a direct descendant of the royal family, and even the first heir to the throne of the current Great Xia in the true sense.
The merit of following the dragon, so this is it...
"I see. Thank you for your explanation, sir."
Thinking of this, Qi Qingxuan bowed slightly.
His mentality was indeed different from that of ordinary people. He quickly accepted so much information and returned to normal.
He also slightly let down his initial guard and vigilance towards Jiang Lan in front of him.
The other party's strength is unfathomable. If he wanted to harm him, he probably wouldn't explain so much to him.
"gentlemen?"
Jiang Lan seemed to chuckle, and didn't really care about his address.
"As a direct descendant of the royal family, your bloodline is not obvious. In fact, there is another reason. You have been unable to practice in recent years, but your hard study of the Scripture of Society and State has laid a solid foundation for your body..."
"The current Emperor Xia practices the Imperial Supreme World Sutra, and his power is unfathomable. The Sheji Sutra you have been reading is actually the prequel of the Imperial Supreme World Sutra."
"However, compared to the Imperial Supreme World Sutra, the Imperial Supreme State Sutra is more difficult to learn. It requires the cultivation of the State Qi within the body. Without years of hard study, it is difficult to cultivate it into a physical form."
"Although you have studied the Sheji Sutra for many years, you still have a long way to go before you can possess the spirit of Sheji. I intend to help you seize the throne of the current Great Xia."
"This is a piece of state energy that I accidentally gathered from a certain country. It can help you start practicing earlier and catch up later."
After saying that, Jiang Lan raised his hand, and a ray of bright yellow, pure and righteous aura emerged in his palm, which seemed to illuminate even his bones, flesh and skin, making them crystal clear.
"Would you accept it?"
He looked at Qi Qingxuan and asked with interest.
Qi Qingxuan felt his heart tremble because of Jiang Lan's words. He didn't expect that this was the reason why his mother wanted him to read the "Society and State Sutra" carefully.
However, this was the first time he met Jiang Lan, and he had no idea about her background, yet she was willing to help him.
In fact, he was a little worried in his heart whether there was any conspiracy behind this.
But that ray of bright yellow breath seemed to have completely captured his mind at this moment.
One seems to be able to hear a mysterious voice of chanting and praying, as if the ancient emperor was offering sacrifices to the heaven and praying for the protection of the country.
"I... am willing to accept it."
Qi Qingxuan didn't hesitate for long, he gritted his teeth and said directly.
He was not a indecisive person. The mysterious man in white in front of him knew his identity and background so well that he even prepared a ray of state energy for him. His strength must be unfathomable.
Even if he refuses, the other party will probably use tough measures to make him accept it.
Instead of being so doubtful and having so many concerns, it is better to agree directly and appear to be open and decisive.
"As expected of you, the Sixth Prince. I admire smart people like you."
Jiang Lan nodded slightly, as if revealing a smile of approval.
Then he snapped his fingers, and the bright yellow light, like a wisp of green smoke, quickly penetrated into Qi Qingxuan's brows.
Then it quickly penetrated his sea of consciousness, followed his meridians and lungs, and fell to his dantian, like a seed, quickly looking for fertile soil, and then taking root and sprouting.
At the same time, Qi Qingxuan's eyes became blurred and a grand sacrificial sound rang in his ears.
In a trance, he saw himself wearing the sacrificial robes of an ancient emperor, with a crown on his head, standing on an ancient rooftop, kneeling and praying to the sacrificial cauldron in front of him with utmost piety.
Countless people shouted the name of the emperor, and the sound was shocking.
A warm and mellow breath emerged from his dantian, and the Sutra of State and Society that he had recited every day also passed through his mind silently.
Every word in it seemed to shine brightly, as dazzling as stars, and they were arranged there, containing profound meaning.
After coming back to his senses, Qi Qingxuan's face was filled with shock and joy. He finally felt the breath of cultivation.
I no longer have any doubts about the spirit of the country that Jiang Lan mentioned.
"Thank you, sir."
He bowed to Jiang Lan very seriously. He was not the emperor yet. The person in front of him had a mysterious origin, but it seemed that he really wanted to assist him.
Naturally, he wouldn't care about his status, and he would not neglect the proper etiquette.
"You don't have to be polite, Sixth Prince. You are the future ruler of Daxia. I'm afraid I can't bear it if you show me such respect." Jiang Lan just smiled faintly, but the strange look in his eyes disappeared.
Qi Qingxuan was being polite to him at the moment because he was not strong enough. In the original plot, later on, his ambitions swelled and he even attempted to take Shang Mingyu as his concubine. His fate was naturally predictable...
But he doesn't care about that.
This breath of the country's aura originated from the aura of the Son of Heaven, but it was just a breath he stripped off and he put a lot of tricks into it.
Qi Qingxuan naturally couldn't notice anything at the moment. If there really came a day when he succeeded to the throne, it would be a great time for Jiang Lan to reap the rewards.
"Master appeared today, told me all this, and gave me the spirit of the state to help me start my practice."
"Qingxuan will never forget this favor. When I ascend to the throne in the future, I will definitely be grateful for your kindness today." Qi Qingxuan calmed down and bowed again.
Jiang Lan nodded slightly and said, "With the Sixth Prince's words, I feel relieved."
Qi Qingxuan felt the warm breath in his body, and the many bumps and soreness from riding the horse just now seemed to have completely disappeared.
He secretly marveled at it, it turned out that after practicing, one would become extraordinary.
At the same time, his ambition was rapidly expanding, his fists were clenched, and he suddenly became full of ambition.
Jiang Lan looked at the changes that had taken place in him and said casually, "Sixth Prince, it is best to keep today's events in your heart. Although that eunuch Wei will protect your safety now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future..."
Qi Qingxuan was stunned when he heard this. In fact, after Jiang Lan's explanation just now, he had some guesses about Eunuch Wei's identity.
However, he was not a stupid man. He never told anyone, including Eunuch Wei, about Shang Mingyu's intention to assist him and help him achieve great things.
For things like this, the fewer people who know about it, the better. After all, it is like he has an extra trump card that the other party doesn't know about.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir..."
Coming back to his senses, Qi Qingxuan bowed and was about to express his gratitude, but he found that Jiang Lan was no longer in front of him.
