The lifespan of a firefly is less than seven years. The firefly must complete the process of growing up, finding a mate, giving birth, and dying in just seven years. Every major event that seems to be of great significance to life is incredibly rushed in Liuying's body.

Ordinary people can live for decades, so when it comes to important days in life, they can spend two or three years to waste.

The spirit bridge has a lifespan of five hundred years, the supernatural power lives eight hundred years, and the venerable one has a lifespan of a thousand years.

The true God is immortal for thousands of years, and the God King lives forever.

The longer life exists, the meaning of time becomes diluted.

Therefore, Emperor Ji Fa, as the Lord of Nine Provinces, ordered his birthday banquet to last for a month.

After the ceremony officials received the blessings, the emperor raised a toast to thank the officials and the people.

Next, the princes and princes of the vassal states paid tribute and celebrated their birthdays with a roll call. This alone takes three full days, and that's just picking out expensive things.

At this time, the benefits of the palace built by the Ministry of Industry became apparent. As long as you don't listen deliberately, you can drink and talk in the palace where you are.

There were palace music, ceremonial dances, flowing wine glasses, and rare delicacies. As the ceremonial music began, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Facing this table of delicacies, even rare royal tributes, Shen Zhui only took a bite occasionally, and the rest of the time drank the fruit juice in mouthfuls.

"Nervous?" Lu Yuanwei came over, raised his glass and touched it with Shen Zhui. "I saw that you didn't even touch the fruit, and you rarely talked to anyone."

"Master, how can I not be nervous?" Shen Zhui drank down the drink and shook his head. "As the matter remains unresolved, this disciple's state of mind will not be stable for a moment."

"It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to them to succeed." Lu Yuanwei said softly. "You have achieved the ultimate. No matter what the result is, it is your destiny. Instead of worrying, it is better to face it calmly. Only in this way can you have the opportunity to reach the third level of perfection."

"Master, who are you?" Shen Zhuizheng said the words, but suddenly looked at Lu Yuanwei in surprise.

I saw the other party smiling and nodding: "Yes, Master's state of mind is the third level of perfection."

Shen Zhui's breath suffocated.

The state of mind is extremely important for a practitioner. Those with a firm state of mind will be less prone to being possessed by evil spirits during the process of practice, will be calmer in battle, and will find it easier to get out of the illusion...even many secret techniques and exercises. , all have special requirements for the state of mind!

For example, the "Ten Thousand Hearts and Soul Control Technique" requires a perfect state of mind and a 10,000-fold increase in spiritual thoughts before you have a chance to practice it.

Another example is the "Linglong Buddha Collection" left by his teacher, Venerable Ciyun, which also requires a perfect state of mind, so that the chance of success will be much greater.

One can imagine how important the spiritual realm is to a practitioner.

However, the great role of the spiritual realm also means that it is extremely difficult to improve. It even requires more talent than practicing secret techniques and improving cultivation. Moreover, one must go through many life and death tribulations before one can achieve a perfect state.

The spiritual realm is illusory, but it is real. Until now, Shen Zhui has never met a strong person at the third level of mind. Even if he broke into the ninety-ninth level of the Netherworld and went very far in the state of concentration, could he reach the state of perfection? It was only at the Sun Moon Flower Banquet, listening to Zixuan playing the Jiaowei Qin, that I briefly touched that barrier.

It’s difficult to be in a perfect state of mind!

It is not enough to have perseverance and a firm mind.

Many true gods who have lived for thousands of years may not necessarily have a perfect state of mind, but Lu Yuanwei, who has only practiced for less than sixty years, is actually in a state of perfect state of mind. How can this not surprise Shen Zhui?

"No wonder the master had a very high status in the Wu'an Army. He practiced holy poetry and even mastered a trace of the rules. It turns out that the master is in a perfect state of mind." Shen Zhui thought to himself. He recalled that what the Cangjin King actually wanted to kill was his master Lu Yuanwei. As for himself, at least he had a temporary intention and only used part of his strength.

"I am in a perfect state of mind... Shen Zhui, your master's qualifications are incredible." Zen Xin also sighed with emotion.

"It's amazing." There was a hint of envy in Shen Zhui's eyes, and he was also happy for his master.

"Maybe your master's future achievements will be greater than yours." Zen thought.

"Huh? Zen Xin's evaluation of Master is so high." Shen Zhui was slightly surprised.

"Back then, your teacher, Venerable Ciyun, had a special physique with seven orifices and an exquisite mind. Ever since she entered the realm of the Venerable, she had naturally reached a state of perfect state of mind. She created her own "Ling Ling Buddha Treasure", a mind power method. It is a unique approach and a very profound study of the state of mind.”

"With a perfect state of mind, it will be easier to understand the original laws of the earth. It will not be affected by anything, and it will be completely close to the origin of the world. And other people's understanding will more or less go astray, which will lead to changes in their own path. It’s not perfect. But I can’t find it at all.”

"The reason why the powerful true gods reject other paths is because those true gods who break through with a calm state of mind have gone very deep on the road to the second level."

"Although this situation may not be bad in the extreme, the master guesses that after the true god, those who have a perfect spiritual realm have a better chance of advancing to the realm of the God King than those who have not."

"What is a divine king? Only a person with an extremely powerful mind can be called the king among true gods!" Zen Heart said in a deep voice.

"The third level of the state of mind..." Shen Zhui shook his head. "This is something you can only meet once in a while, so don't think too much about it for the time being."

While Shen Zhui and Lu Yuanwei were communicating, the roll call of the ceremony officer had stopped at some point.

The Human Emperor led important civil and military ministers, harem concubines, and princesses to travel to the thirty-third level.

As the champion, Shen Zhui was also among the companions, but he could only follow in the middle and last stages of the team.

Stepping from Lingxiao to Ziqing, it was the first time for Shen Zhui to see the Supreme of Nine Provinces, the Emperor of the World, so close.

In the past, the Human Emperor was either a clone or shrouded in purple gold luck, making it difficult to see his face clearly, but now, Shen Zhui unexpectedly saw clearly the appearance inspired by the Emperor of Ming.

To Shen Zhui's surprise, this face turned out to be a very ordinary face. Although it was majestic and majestic, it had a calm expression and a faint smile on its face, which made people feel like spring breeze. It was as if the person walking in front was not the Human Emperor, but a wealthy Confucian businessman who was out for an outing.

"When the emperor travels, he really has an extraordinary bearing and majestic manner. It's even more impressive than what the prince gave me." Zhixinhou Quehu on the side couldn't help but admire him.

"Yes, His Majesty's kindness is so great that the whole land must surrender to him sincerely." The loyal Hou Lanhe also praised.

"Where is the majesty and virtue?" Shen Zhui looked at Zhongyi Marquis Lan He and Zhixin Marquis Quehu in confusion.

Lu Yuanwei chuckled and said, "Shen Zhui, everyone looks different when they see His Majesty."

"Although it is the same face, different temperaments produce different power, but present different feelings and appearances in the eyes of those who look at it."

"Why is this?" Shen Zhui asked confused.

"Because Your Majesty is blessed with the luck of the Nine Provinces and is the wish of all people, he naturally has all the appearances of all living beings. This kind of vision is somewhat similar to the Buddhist Dharma. It is like thousands of people with thousands of faces. When you look at others, you also look at your own mind."

"The loyal and righteous Hou Lanhe was favored by the Human Emperor and reversed time and space to resurrect him. Therefore, he saw His Majesty's virtue, and it also proved that he was grateful for the imperial court's kindness in his heart." Lu Yuanwei said.

"What Zhixin Hou Quehu saw was majesty. That's because he was born in a famous family and received family influence. He was in awe of his son, so what he saw was the majesty of His Majesty."

"These are all related to the spiritual realm. The higher the spiritual realm, the clearer the vision. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is the friendly side that His Majesty wants them to see."

"I see." Shen Zhui nodded. "Then what did Master see?"

Lu Yuanwei cupped his hands forward and said: "One emperor through the ages, the sage king!"

Then why did I see that look? Shen Zhui was a little confused.

Just as Shen Zhui was thinking about it, hundreds of civil and military officials and the Emperor arrived at the Twenty-fifth Chongyue School.

A loud voice echoed in everyone's mind: "Your Majesty."

Swish, swish, swish~ Everyone turned their attention to the source of the sound and gathered at the front of the team. The old man accompanying the Human Emperor was none other than the great scholar Liu Haoran.

"Liu Aiqing, why are you so solemn?" the Human Emperor's rich voice responded.

"After the Champion Hou Shen Zhui fought for the country and became the Duke of the country, the Shen family is now in decline. The huge champion Hou's mansion only has a mere five people, which is really pitiful for the humble ministers."

"So I want to marry the champion."

As soon as these words came out, the whole team suddenly became quiet, and their eyes intertwined. Many people were extremely surprised, especially among the group of princesses and princesses, who all speculated that Liu Haoran's such big fanfare must be nothing.

The Human Emperor smiled and asked, "Oh? I wonder which girl Liu Qing wants to be the matchmaker for the champion."

Liu Haoran bowed again, then raised his head and said: "No one is more noble than the royal family, and no woman is more virtuous than a princess. I would like to ask for your majesty's daughter to marry you on behalf of the champion."

As soon as these words came out, there was a slight commotion. Shen Zhui's heart trembled, and his palms slowly started to sweat.

Left Prime Minister Fan Wenhan, who was standing on the left side of the Human Emperor, looked as usual, while Fan Hongyi, who was behind Left Prime Minister, had his palms covered under his sleeves trembling slightly, his eyelids were lowered, and there was a haze.

The Human Emperor smiled and said nothing, and Queen De Rong, who was on the side, stepped forward and said deliberately: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank Liu Qing for your compliments on my royal daughter, but I am still reluctant to let my daughter get married prematurely, and I want them to spend more time with me. "

The Human Emperor immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, Liu Qing, you see it's not that I don't agree, it's that the queen, a mother, can't let go of her daughter."

The surrounding civil and military officials smiled knowingly.

Liu Haoran was rejected, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and cupped his hands towards Queen De Rong and said, "I'm rude, please forgive me, Queen."

After that, Liu Haoran returned to the team and continued to go to school.

Shen Zhui was not discouraged and turned a blind eye to the looks directed at him.

In order to show the noble status of the princess, the royal family usually rejects any marriage proposal twice, and will not agree until the third matchmaker appears.

Moreover, the status of these three matchmakers cannot be inferior. Fame and status are indispensable.

This is the ‘three media’ among the three media and six recruitments. Of course, this is only for the royal family. Although the ordinary three matchmakers are also three matchmakers, the meaning is different. They only refer to the matchmakers for both men and women, and a matchmaker.

The latter is the matchmaker at the beginning, while the former is the complicated process of communication between the two parties, including asking for names, accepting offers, accepting recruitment, requesting appointments, and personal greetings.

Everyone knew that this was a necessary process. The Fan family had already invited two matchmakers before, but they were also rejected, so they didn't take it to heart. Instead, they speculated on which two matchmakers the champion had invited. Guest, which princess is he asking to marry?

…………

It took seven hours to visit the thirty-third level.

Seven days later, all the civil and military officials, princes and ministers returned to Lingxiao.

The old man's banquet begins.

The Emperor met with virtuous elders among the people, all of whom were old men with gray beards. Their realm is not high, many of them are limited by their wealth, family background and many other reasons, and they are almost at the end of their lifespan.

After congratulating their birthdays, the Human Emperor Mingzi Temple’s Merit Division and Two Sushi Divisions extended the lives of these old people for two hundred years, allowing them to rejuvenate in an instant. They saw three thousand old people with gray beards suddenly become younger, and everyone in the Thirty-Third Level Everyone was boiling, and they once again called for the Emperor to live forever.

After the old man's banquet ended, the former Right Chancellor, the great scholar Wei Xuancheng, stood up and respectfully said: "Your Majesty!"

"What did Wei Qing mean?"

"Your Majesty, the champion, Shen Zhui, has outstanding qualifications and outstanding military exploits. He came out on top at the Moonlight Banquet. He has military ability to stabilize the country and is capable of managing the world as a writer. As the saying goes, he has both civil and military skills. He is actually a good match for the princess. Wei I also proposed marriage for the champion, and asked to marry the royal princess." Wei Wenhe said respectfully.

Shen Zhui couldn't help but blush.

The first matchmaker mainly praises the woman.

The second matchmaker touts the man's strengths.

It's just that he didn't expect Wei Xuancheng, his master's uncle, to be so exaggerated. He had the ability to stabilize the country and govern the world, which really made Shen Zhui feel ashamed.

Zixuan, who was standing next to Princess Anping, also had a red face and her heart was lifted. She felt that her heart was beating uncontrollably.

The Human Emperor still smiled and said nothing, and it was still Queen De Rong who came out to reply.

"Wei Qing's family is highly respected, and the champion Hou Shenzhui is a rare virtuous hero. It's just that my daughters are reluctant to leave Your Majesty so early. They want to fulfill their filial piety before their father. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, so what will happen to Your Majesty and I? Can you bear to attack your children’s filial piety?”

Well, last time it was the queen who couldn't let go of her daughter, this time it's the daughters who can't let go of their parents.

The common people watching this scene on the 33rd level were all staring here with relish, thinking that the princess of the royal family was hard to find.

Wei Xuancheng also bowed again like Liu Haoran and said respectfully: "The royal princess is respectful of etiquette, filial piety and virtue. It's a humble minister who is rude."

…………

Twelve years later, the birthday banquet is coming to an end.

The Human Emperor, together with his concubines and princesses, met with the chief officials of nursing homes across the Eastern Continent.

The so-called nursing home is actually a complex of orphanages and nursing homes established by Da Zhou.

Although the world is stable, there are always unavoidable disasters, both man-made and man-made, leaving the elderly homeless and the young homeless.

After the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty established the country and established the dynasty, it was the time when the war had just subsided and everything was waiting for him.

During the Emperor's campaign, hundreds of officials governed the local area, while the Queen led the concubines in the harem to advise the Emperor, extended her kindness, and established numerous nursing homes in various places.

This move resulted in numerous deaths and was very popular among the people, hence the title of Empress Derong.

Every year after that, Queen Derong would summon the chief officials of the nursing homes, asking the princesses and concubines of the royal family to donate their own thoughts, or donate their salaries to various nursing homes, or directly donate materials... It proves that the royal family is not only majestic but also kind. The princess is not only filial, but also has a heart of love for the people.

By the time the chief officials of the nursing home had retired, the Human Emperor's birthday banquet was almost over.

At this moment, a woman holding a golden staff and wearing gorgeous clothes slowly walked up to the order. Although her temples are gray and her face is full of wrinkles, she has a graceful and generous temperament.

Mrs. Yang, Yang An’s wife!

Everyone was extremely surprised, because the Yang family has always regarded the champion as their own, and logically, even if the Yang family does not hold grudges, they should not help each other if they pursue the champion. Unexpectedly, the Yang family not only helped, but also invited this old lady to come forward!

"Your Majesty." Mrs. Yang stepped forward with a smile and saluted.

"Mrs. Yang, you don't have to salute." The Human Emperor stood up. "I am very happy that you can come to celebrate my birthday, so there is no need to make such a big gift."

"Your Majesty, the third matchmaker chosen by champion Hou Shenzhui is my wife." Mrs. Yang said with a smile.

"Hahaha." The Human Emperor seemed to be amused by Mrs. Yang's straightforward words. This time he did not remain silent, but asked: "I wonder which princess Mrs. Yang wants to marry on behalf of Shen?"

A flash of shock flashed in everyone's eyes, because the Human Emperor spoke instead of the Empress refusing, which meant that it was almost done.

As usual, the third matchmaker announced the name of a specific princess.

The golden staff shook slightly, and Mrs. Yang slowly said: "My wife is proposing marriage to the champion Hou Chen, and I am looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to propose marriage to none other than Princess Anle Ji Zixuan."

As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused a storm!

Although many people have known the inside story for a long time, and rumors about the Yuehua Banquet have leaked out. But many people still couldn't believe that Shen Zhui actually wanted to marry Princess Anle!

Princess Anle also has another nickname - Princess of the South China Sea!

Whoever marries her means that he can become half the master of the South China Sea Islands! The meaning is not unimportant, but it is the one with the highest status among all the unmarried princesses! Even Princess Anping, who has the same mother as the Seventh Prince, cannot be compared to her. Originally, the Fan family has proposed marriage twice. Although the person has not been announced, everyone knows that the Fan family is asking for the princess of Anle, Ji Zixuan. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhui came out halfway! This is exactly what the royal family wants when they have a daughter!Shocked and shocked, but no one in front of the palace dared to make any noise. Everyone, including the Fan family, focused their attention on the Human Emperor, waiting for the voice that sounded like a verdict. A moment later, a loud voice spread throughout the thirty-third level. “I’m sure!”  Hush~ The whole capital suddenly boiled!
