Chapter 743 The First Sect in the Mortal World
Lu Yuanxiao changed his clothes and took a few sips of the ginger soup.
“Fortunately, the project was completed before the snow started, otherwise it would have been delayed.”
"The soldiers sent out to test their spiritual roots should be returning to the city soon. I wonder how many people they can bring back. I hope this snow won't hinder our efforts."
"This is the first sect in our mortal world, and it is of great significance. It is a great honor for my son to be able to participate in it."
"Mom, you haven't seen it before, right? It was built with the combined strength of four countries." The disciples were naturally selected from the four countries.
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the clan, mother, you should go to bed early."
"His Majesty has specially invited you and Chaochao." Everyone knew that the emperor valued Xu Shiyun very much.
Xu Shiyun waited until midnight until she could hardly open her eyes. Only after she saw the children finish their meal and return to their room did she go back to rest.
I had just laid down and was falling into a hazy sleep.
She just felt her body swaying, as if she was in rough water, which made her frown.
But in an instant, she suddenly opened her eyes and turned over and sat up.
wrong!
"Madam!" Dengzhi pushed open the door with a pale face and staggered forward. There were tears in my eyes that I dared not let fall, and my teeth were chattering with nervousness.
Xu Shiyun didn't even have time to put on her shoes before she hurriedly pushed the door open and walked out. The shaking had stopped at this moment, and some tiles on the roof had fallen off.
"Is it an earthquake? Another earthquake?" Maids and servants ran out, terrified.
Lu Yanshu was still wearing his robe, and it looked like he hadn't slept yet?
"It's not an earthquake." He said in a deep voice.
Lu Chaochao looked around. Shanshan covered her butt and looked at her vigilantly. When he saw her sister's eyes on him, he was furious and said, "I just farted. Is this my fault?"
Lu Chaochao looked away and was about to walk out.
Lu Yanshu immediately said: "No one is allowed to leave the house. I'll go and take a look." He looked at Chao Chao, his eyes full of rejection.
Lu Chaochao paused slightly. She could feel that her elder brother was intentionally or unintentionally letting her return to mortal life.
Xu Shiyun gritted her teeth and suppressed the words she wanted to stop him.
"Brother, wait for me. Chaochao, protect the family and don't go out." Lu Yuanxiao went out while putting on his clothes.
When the door was pushed open, Lu Yanshu was stunned.
"It's a monster!"
"How could a monster come to the human world?" Lu Yanshu's face suddenly darkened. His father was guarding the barrier, and now a monster has arrived in the human world...
That……
"Brother, father..." Lu Yuanxiao also noticed this and his face turned pale.
"Save the people first." Both of them were top scorers in the imperial examinations. At this moment, they were reciting poems with sonorous and righteous voices, resisting the monsters.
"The door god on our front door is really powerful. I just saw it." The doorman hid in the yard and trembled.
Dengzhi gathered all the people in the mansion together, including the gatekeeper.
"A monster rushed into our mansion, but as soon as it touched our door, it made a hissing sound and disappeared. No monster could get in..."
Yunniang was startled, and Yushu whispered, "Our door gods were painted by the princess when she had nothing to do."
Shanshan: This is why I seldom go through the front door.
Xu Shiyun saw the blood-red sky, and her heart was beating fast with anxiety: "Why does the direction of the accident look like... your father's direction?"
"Ma'am, don't let your imagination run wild. Our master has many amulets and blessings from the emperor. Everything will go smoothly and safely."
Everyone was in a state of panic, and birds were flying across the sky from time to time.
The birds spread their wings, their eyes bloodshot, and wherever they went, they brought up a gust of wind, causing people to scream. They looked like they did not belong to this mortal world.
As daybreak approached, the city gradually returned to its normal order.
"Madam, the eldest master sent someone to report that there are monsters in the city. Fortunately, they are just small minions and did not cause too much damage."
"Everything has been restored to order now, please rest assured, ma'am."
Bei Zhao has trained a group of monks. Although their skills are not high enough, they can easily deal with some small monsters.
When Yunniang heard the word monster, her heart skipped a beat.
"Is there any news from the border?"
"The eldest master has sent someone to the palace, and there should be news coming back soon. Madam, don't worry."
By the time the servant hurried away, Yunniang was already exhausted.
"Is his life card okay?" Xu Shiyun looked at Chaochao worriedly.
Lu Chaochao had actually already seen the fine lines on the fate plate, but she didn't dare to say it out loud to irritate her mother: "Although I don't know what happened, my father's life should be safe."
She glanced at Zhu Mo, and Zhu Mo left quietly.
Zhuifeng continued to follow her slowly, not missing a step.
"Madam, there is a clan opening ceremony today. Would you like to take a rest?" the maid asked in a low voice.
Xu Shiyun waved her hand tiredly: "Help me wash up first, we can't miss the important things."
The founding ceremony is another new starting point for mortals. The whole country is looking forward to it and there must be no mistakes.
This is also a time to rally people’s hearts.
After the whole family washed up, they got on the sedan chair and went out.
Although there was a sudden attack by monsters last night, the court controlled the situation in time, which gave the people a shot in the arm and there was no panic.
At this moment, many people were carrying goods on ox carts and heading towards the sect.
"If the monster hadn't appeared last night, I would have gone over and claimed a spot."
"This damn monster."
"I heard that my uncle's son's neighbor's third uncle's grandson had his spiritual roots detected and is planning to join a sect. This is a step to heaven..."
"If our family can produce one, it will bring honor to our family and change our status."
"Alright, alright, don't think about that. Your descendants had their spiritual roots tested last month. If you have time to think about spiritual roots, you might as well think about making more money today. This world is getting harder and harder."
"We are not at peace living here at the feet of the emperor, let alone outside." Everyone nodded, and immediately showed some worry.
The road was blocked, but fortunately Lu Yanshu sent people to clear the road early in the morning and restore order.
When the carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, everyone's faces were filled with amazement.
"Wow..." Everyone looked up at the majestic sect in front of them, and couldn't help but feel a sense of submission.
Two unicorns stand at the gate to guard it, and white jade steps lead directly to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain rises high into the clouds, and you can vaguely glimpse the buildings in the clouds, which makes it even more desirable.
Prince Jingxi was holding his chubby little son’s hand.
The little fellow looked around with his round eyes: "Father, let me practice... I want to do that too." He spoke in a baby voice, only a little older than Shanshan.
King Jingxi glanced at him and said jokingly, "If you have spiritual roots, your father is willing to be a stone pillar guarding the gate."
He turned around and greeted his colleagues.
Everyone greeted each other and stepped onto the white jade steps together.
However, this white jade staircase is extraordinary.
The moment I stepped on it, it felt like I was carrying a heavy burden. The higher you climb, the heavier the burden becomes.
After only a hundred or so steps, the court officials, who had been greeting each other politely, were already soaked through in their clothes.
His calves were trembling and he was breathing heavily.
