Qing Ming

The Tianxing Imperial Palace, the magnificent hall was silent, only the unknown spices that were slowly burning in the huge incense burner next to the huge dragon-carved beams made a crackle or two from time to time, and the curling green smoke exuded a puff of smoke. An elegant fragrance.

The scarlet velvet carpet was filled with more than a hundred well-dressed civil and military ministers. At this time, they all bowed their heads and silently counted the fluff from the branches on the carpet. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the middle-aged man sitting alone on the high platform at the end of the carpet.

This person is Chu Tianxing, the lord of the Tianxing Empire. After sitting on the dragon chair, he took over the military and political power of a country with his iron-blooded wrists beyond ordinary people. Life is like a fish in water, the huge Tianxing Empire has never been stronger under his governance, and it has faintly become the leader of the four great empires.

Now this all-powerful man was sitting alone on the dragon chair silently with frowning frowns, his face was full of sorrow, all the powerful officials below were silent like cicadas, and needles could be heard above the hall.

Even the warriors standing in front of the temple could only hold their sword hilts, standing like clay sculptures and wood carvings, not even daring to move their heels.

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps outside the hall, and a group of people came in a file. The leader was a warrior in black armor, about 30 years old, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and he was not angry but mighty. Commander Paulin was followed by more than a dozen old men with skins and white hair, all carrying a wooden box of different sizes in their hands, bowing tremblingly and following behind Paulin.

Chu Tian stood up abruptly, and before everyone could salute, he asked, "Have you ever found out the princess's illness?" His tone was very anxious.

Pauling clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, we haven't found out yet." He turned his head and looked at the famous doctors behind him who bowed their heads silently. The imperial doctors tried their best to find out the root cause of this strange disease.

Chu Tianxing got this princess when he was over 12 years old: Chu Li, the husband and wife regarded him as the jewel in his palm and loved him very much. What I am proud of is the talent of my daughter. I still remember that when I was [-] years old, the bachelor who was in charge of teaching Chuli literature and history resigned on my own initiative. Fate, even Bao Lin, who teaches martial arts, is often forced into a hurry by the little girl. Fortunately, his daughter's body will never be as strong as his young man's, so he can only often praise the little princess.

How can such a gifted and beautiful baby girl not be loved by her parents, but now she is inexplicably suffering from a strange disease. With a few pots of charcoal fire, the princess's hair can also form a layer of frost. If it weren't for a few strangers who used their internal energy to relax the princess's tendons and activate her veins every day, she might have died in hell already. Could it be that God is really jealous of her beauty?

Chu Tianxing widely posted the imperial list, if he could cure the princess' illness, he promised high-ranking officials and generous salary, and found all the best doctors in the world. The doctors who come to the palace every day to treat the princess are like crucian carp crossing the river. After a hundred days, even the princess's illness was not found, so how could this father be so anxious.

"Forget it, let them leave!" Chu Tianxing waved his hand weakly, his face was full of sadness, he seemed to be ten years older, and there were a few clusters of silver strands on his temples, who was already nearly half a century old.

The doctors bowed their heads and left, leaving only Pauling to stand aside after saluting.

"Let's go!" Chu Tianxing said lightly, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly he heard a loud singing outside the hall: "Master Dongsheng begs to see you!"

Chu Tianxing, who was about to turn around and leave, raised his sword eyebrows. This Master Dongsheng was a strange person in his heart. Usually, the gods and dragons do not see the end, which is rare for ordinary people. This person is proficient in metaphysics and divination, and he talks about everything As it turned out, Chu Tianxing met him once when he was still a prince.

At the beginning, the former king had nine sons, each with their own strengths. Chu Tianxing ranked fifth, and he was a poorly clothed and unastonishing type at that time.The late kings highly respected Master Dongsheng as a brother, and once invited him to be a national teacher, but they were all politely declined.

One day the late king visited the garden with the master and the princes and asked jokingly, "Does the master know who this king will inherit the throne in a hundred years?" The king is determined by heaven, and you need to be careful when you discipline yourself." Then there was no more text.

The princes also chirped and asked how many children they would have in the future, and so on. The Master answered them one by one in a friendly manner. Chu Tianxing, who was only ten years old at the time, couldn't help but follow the crowd's question. The Master smiled and replied: " One son and one daughter, dragon and phoenix among people."

Scenes of the past came to mind, and a bright light lit up in Chu Tianxing's heart. Regardless of the majesty of the royal family, he jumped down from the high platform and strode towards the front of the hall, shouting in his mouth: "Hurry up!" Please, Uncle Emperor!" All the ministers were stunned for a moment, secretly wondering who this Master Dongsheng was, and all turned their heads to look behind him.

I saw an old Taoist in a linen robe approaching from outside the hall with a smile on his face. This Taoist had a childish face, a long beard reaching his chest, and he was holding a huge cloth banner in his hand. A bit of a fairy-tale appearance.

It was Master Dongsheng who was called Uncle by Chu Tianxing who came here. Before the death of the king, he was commensurate with his brothers. It is reasonable for Chu Tianxing to call him Uncle. The most timely life-saving straw!

Chu Tianxing walked quickly to Master Dongsheng, bowed his fists and saluted, "Tianxing has seen the emperor!" He looked up with tears on his face, and his heart was full of grief because of his beloved daughter's illness. At this time, Chu Tianxing was like a child who was full of grievances and met his relatives for the first time.

Master Dongsheng stretched out his hand to support Chu Tianxing's generous arm: "Nephew, you don't have to be like this. Now that you are the king of a country, didn't you kill me?" Although he said so, there was a gratifying smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Tian Xing begged Uncle Huang to save the little girl's life!" After speaking, he bent down and wanted to worship.

Venerable Dongsheng smiled slightly, and lightly supported his seemingly skinny palm. Chu Tianxing couldn't bow down anyway, and had to give up after struggling a few times. He raised his head and looked eagerly at the Venerable Venerable Master.

"Nephew, why should you care about these etiquettes? This old man is here just for this matter. Quickly lead me to see the princess!" Master Dongsheng actually called her a princess, which seemed a bit nondescript.

Chu Tianxing, who felt that he had lost his composure, no longer paid any attention to those dull civil and military ministers, and led Dongsheng to the inner courtyard of the palace without looking back, followed by Bao Lin.

A group of people walked quickly through the promenade surrounded by green shade in the palace, bypassed the imperial garden, and headed south all the way. The plain white palace-like building not far in front was the place where Princess Chuli lived: Lixu Palace .

The servants standing outside the palace saw Chu Tianxing coming and hurriedly bowed and saluted, but they did not dare to make a sound. Ever since the princess got a strange disease, Chu Tianxing had already ordered the servants in Lixu Palace not to make loud noises, so as not to affect the princess Take a break, even if you see yourself, you don't need to sing the newspaper, which shows how much he loves Chu Li.

"Uncle Emperor, please!" Bao Lin stepped forward and gently pushed open the palace door, a wave of heat rushed towards him, several fist-sized white mysterious crystals were covered by several lampshade-like objects, emitting a soft light, There is a pungent herbal smell in the air, mixed with a faint scent of agarwood.

The decoration layout in the palace is extremely elegant, and the four treasures of the study are all complete, including the qin, zither, Xiao, and sword. It can be seen that Princess Chuli is really a strange woman who has both literary talent and martial arts.There are several huge copper basins in the main hall, which are burning with raging charcoal. The whole main hall is scorching hot, and there are two attendants who are sweating like rain, adding new charcoal to the copper basins, not daring to slack off.

When everyone walked into the bedroom in the south of the hall, the first thing they saw was a large milky white gum bed. Through the light gauze bed curtain, one could vaguely see a woman in palace clothes lying on the inside, and two women standing in front of the bed. Seeing Chu Tianxing coming, the waiter squatted down to salute, and then gently lifted the bed curtain.

It was the princess Chu Li who was sleeping soundly inside, her two crescent eyebrows seemed to be frowning but not frowning, her fat-like skin was slightly pale, her pretty face was slightly thinner, there was a touch of sadness between her brows, and there was a faint hint of sadness between her temples like silk. There is still some unscattered hoarfrost, what a peerless beauty that makes people pitiful.

Master Dongsheng glanced at the beautiful woman on the bed, couldn't help but sighed slightly, ignored Chu Tianxing and the others, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

This action made Chu Tianxing on the side slightly stunned, and then quickly followed up...

Master Dongsheng was walking like flying, until he reached the imperial garden, he stopped suddenly, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, standing still.Chu Tianxing and Bao Lin who came later had no choice but to wait silently with their hands down.

After two full hours, both of Chu Tianxing's feet were numb. Careful Bao Lin brought a wicker chair from somewhere and wanted to ask Chu Tianxing to sit down, but he was refused by the stubborn king. , had to stand quietly aside.

At this moment, Master Dongsheng suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to caress the silver whiskers reaching to his chest, and spoke slowly.

"God! The old man already knows the disease of the princess, but it is even more difficult to cure the disease!" Master Dongsheng showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

Chu Tianxing was overjoyed when he heard the words, tears welled up in the tiger's eyes, and even his voice became a little trembling: "Uncle Huang, if we can save Li'er, even if we use all the power of the whole country, Tianxing will not hesitate! Please also ask Uncle Huang to show you the immortal recipe, Tian Xingding will do it!"

"Alas! The blood of the golden dragon is needed to heal the Jiu Yin Jue Meridian. How many people in the world can capture the blood of a dragon? I ask myself that I don't have the ability..."

Boom!Bao Lin knelt in front of the Venerable Master, and said in a voice like a bell: "Master Bao Lin, I implore the Venerable Master to tell you where the golden dragon is hiding. The latter will take back the blood of the golden dragon even if he is heartbroken!" Bao Lin's teaching as a princess Teacher, the comfort to the disciple is naturally to be desperate.

"Please, general! The blood of the golden dragon is not something that ordinary people can easily get. Even if the old man told you where the golden dragon is hiding, it would be nothing more than throwing his life away!" Shengsheng pulled up his kneeling body.

Hearing what the Venerable Master said, Chu Tianxing couldn't help feeling a little impatient, he finally found a good way to save his beloved daughter, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up, he gritted his teeth.

"Uncle, even though you can tell where you can get the blood of the golden dragon, Tianxing can invite the guardian gods to go there. Is it possible that they can't defeat the golden dragon with their supernatural powers?" For his daughter, Chu Tianxing decided to invite Tianxing The Guardian God, whom few people in the empire know, will help out.

"Those four god generals are self-cultivated, and it may be difficult to capture the dragon for blood. If one of them is lost, the foundation of the empire will be loosened for thousands of years!"

"Uncle Emperor..." Chu Tianxing could no longer bear the sorrow in his heart, and let out a long cry.

The Venerable Master shook his head lightly, and sighed slightly: "Forget it, the one-horned golden dragon hides in the forest of ten thousand beasts in the extreme south of the empire. If you want to get its essence and blood, you must recruit all kinds of strange people from all over the world. It will be effective if we will attack by surprise, even three or five drops of dragon's blood can make the princess heal!"

Master Dongsheng grabbed the cloth banner beside him with his hand and floated away, no matter how Chu Tianxing called behind him, he didn't turn his head to take a look...

Watching the Venerable Master gradually disappearing into the distance, Chu Tianxing looked dazed and muttered two words: "Myriad Beast Forest, Golden Dragon Blood..."
