This Realm Bead of Wengzhong that Xia Pingan had just integrated was similar to the Realm Bead of Earth Escaping Skill that Xia Pingan had obtained before. It was both the easiest and the most difficult to integrate.
Just now, in the world of the Realm Bead, a majestic giant in armor was standing in front of Xia Pingan. As long as Xia Pingan said the name of Wengzhong, this Realm Bead would be integrated successfully.
If one didn't know the history of this Realm Bead or had a spiritual crystal, the probability of successfully integrating this Realm Bead was zero!
After integrating this Realm Bead of Wengzhong, Xia Pingan picked up that Realm Bead of Pig Herding in Forbidden Garden. After a short while, he was wrapped in the light cocoon once again.
…
As soon as he opened his eyes, Xia Pingan found himself in a garden. What entered his eyes was a piece of flourishing beauty. In the surrounding garden, there were artificial mountains, man-made ponds, corridors, pavilions, halls, pavilions, and flowers. Several guards were following beside him, and in front of him, there was a eunuch whose face was as white as snow, who was carefully introducing the place to him.
"Look, the long pine trees, ancient cypresses, pomegranates, cherries, as well as the ornamental Julie, Shandan, Auspicious Fragrance and Smiley are all from Fujian and Lingnan. They were built in Qiande 2 years ago. That high mound over there is Huazui Mound. There's a horizontal view on the mound. From the horizontal view, you can see the Fengjiong Mound and the Ruohong Bridge in the Painting Pond at the foot of the mountain. The willows around the Painting Pond are also very good. Although the Painting Pond is smaller than Jinming Pond, it also has a unique scenery. If Your Majesty wants to go up there, I can show you the way …"
"No, I'll just take a stroll around …" Xia Pingan said casually.
"A few days ago, some peacocks and monkeys with golden fur were sent from the south. They've been settled in the garden. Different from common monkeys, the monkeys have golden fur all over and have an auspicious aura. Your Majesty, you should take a look …" The old eunuch introduced them with a smile. After that, he led Xia Pingan to another direction along the path ahead.
'Monkeys with golden fur? Auspicious aura?
Isn't that a golden-haired monkey? 'Xia Pingan shook his head with a smile. At the same time, he glanced around the Forbidden Garden. The Forbidden Garden of the Northern Song Dynasty was indeed a first-class place in Dongjing City. It gathered all the rare birds, exotic beasts, flowers and rare plants. Every plant here had a history. No wonder Song Shenzong was stunned when he saw some dirty big black pig Pig herding here.
The old eunuch was leading Xia Pingan to the place where the animals were kept. Before they had walked dozens of meters, the branches of a nearby flowerbed suddenly trembled. Then, a black shadow drilled out of the flowerbed and rushed towards Xia Pingan at an extremely fast speed.
When the nearby guards saw something rushing towards them, two guards immediately stood in front of Xia Pingan. One of the guards was worthy of being called an expert. As soon as the shadow rushed out from the thicket, the other guard rushed forward like an arrow. With just a kick, the shadow was kicked until it let out an ear-piercing scream. It was kicked two meters into the air and heavily fell to the side of the flower bed. As soon as the shadow fell to the ground, a saber light flashed and the shadow was cut into two halves.
The bodyguards of the Emperor were of course masters.
The old eunuch leading the way was so scared that his face turned pale. It was not until this moment that he shouted, "Protect the Emperor, protect the Emperor …"
"Don't panic, it's just a pig …" Xia Pingan shook his head and waved his hand to signal the guard beside him to stand aside. He walked forward to take a look. The black shadow that had alarmed the guard beside him was only a black pig that was over a meter long, born and raised here.
The big black pig was dead, but it still smelled bad. There was a layer of pig dung and mud on its body. Blood flowed all over the ground. It looked extremely filthy.
Just now, when the black pig rushed out of the flowerbed, it was kicked by a bodyguard and its internal organs and spine were all broken. When it fell to the ground, it was killed by another bodyguard. At this moment, the big black pig's blood was all over the ground and it was motionless.
The bodyguards at the side were also shocked. They looked at each other. How could there be such a vulgar thing like a pig in the Imperial Forbidden Garden? It almost alarmed the Emperor.
As soon as the big black pig was killed, two people holding ropes and wooden sticks ran over while panting. Judging from their attire, the two people were wearing the servant attire of the Forbidden Garden. When they saw that the big black pig had been killed and that the Emperor was here, the two people were so scared that their faces turned pale and they hurriedly knelt down.
"Bastard, how did this pig come here? It almost alarmed the Emperor …" The old eunuch went up and scolded.
"Eunuch, please calm down. This pig was originally in the pigsty over there. We don't know why it broke out of the pigsty and ran over here today. We quickly chased after it …"
"What? Pigs are raised in the Forbidden Garden?" Xia Pingan asked.
The old eunuch quickly turned his head and explained to Xia Pingan, "Sir, these pigs were not raised in recent years. They have been raised since the time of the Emperor Taizu. The Emperor Taizu set a rule that some pigs should be raised in the Forbidden Garden. They should be raised in the corner of the Forbidden Garden. Usually, they are surrounded in one place and no one can see them …"
"Oh, let's go take a look …" Xia Pingan's interest was piqued. He wanted to go take a look. The so-called rare beasts in the Forbidden Garden were not rare. However, he wanted to see how these big black pigs were raised.
"Sir, the place where the pigs are raised is too filthy and indecent …"
"All the land in the four seas belongs to the Emperor. What's more, there is no place in the Forbidden Garden that I can't go. What's more, there are many pigs raised in the Forbidden Garden. There is no harm in me going to see it. Let's go …"
Seeing Xia Pingan's resolute attitude, the eunuch could only take Xia Pingan to the place where the pigs were raised in the Forbidden Garden.
To be honest, there weren't many pig farms in the world that were clean, let alone in ancient times. Even in the Forbidden Garden, the place where the pigs were raised was the same. It was specially built with bamboo forests and cherry trees in the most remote corner of the Forbidden Garden. There was a pigsty inside. Usually, the people in the Forbidden Garden would throw the leftover swill and kitchen waste into this place to raise pigs.
The pigs were rolling in the mud pit. The pig feces pit was also next to it. The stench was overwhelming. There were seven or eight black pigs in the pigsty. All of them were in high spirits and were well taken care of by the servants in the Forbidden Garden.
The old eunuch looked at Xia Pingan's expression and said carefully, "These pigs are too filthy. It is not suitable to raise them here. If Your Majesty doesn't like them, I will ask people to remove the pigsty in the Forbidden Garden and not raise them …"
Xia Pingan smiled slightly. In the real history, when Emperor Shenzong of Song found that the Imperial Garden was still raising these filthy and smelly pigs, he also felt that these pigs were a nuisance in the Forbidden Garden. Therefore, he asked people to remove the pigsty and stop raising pigs. However, in less than two months, Emperor Shenzong asked people to start raising pigs in the Forbidden Garden again. Why? Because more than a month later, there was a night when a demon used sorcery to make trouble in the Imperial Palace, causing chaos in the Imperial Palace. Then, an old man in the Imperial Palace said that according to the traditions and rules left in the Imperial Palace, fresh pig blood could be used to break the evil sorcery of the demon. However, where could they find fresh pig blood in such a short time?
After the report was reported to Emperor Shenzong of Song, Emperor Shenzong finally understood why his ancestors wanted to raise pigs in the Imperial Forbidden Garden. They were prepared to break the evil sorcery at a critical moment.
Pigs lived in the dirtiest and smelliest places without any taboos. Therefore, pig blood had the innate effect of breaking the evil sorcery.
"Since raising pigs in the Forbidden Garden is a rule left behind by the Great Ancestor, then the Great Ancestor naturally has his reasons. We don't understand this reason now, but there's no need to rush to deny it. Leave these pigs here first and raise them as usual!" Xia Pingan ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
More than a month later, at night, a few green flames suddenly appeared in the Great Song Imperial Palace, floating around. Around the flames, there were cries of people. Various noises also came from a few abandoned courtyards and palaces that no one lived in. There were ghostly shadows everywhere. The Imperial Palace guards had a headache and were scared witless.
In the end, an old eunuch who had lived in the Imperial Palace for many years said that they could use pig blood to break the evil sorcery. Then, the Imperial Palace Guards remembered that there were still pigs in the Forbidden Garden. Immediately, someone went to get fresh pig blood. When they got the pig blood, they splashed it on the evil sorcery. All the evil sorcery was broken. They even caught a demon who somehow broke into the Imperial Palace …
The next day, Xia Pingan received a report that the demon was caught in the Imperial Palace last night. Only then did he know that the pigs in the Forbidden Garden had made a contribution. Before he could praise the Imperial Palace Guards, the world of the Realm Pearl was shattered.
The second Realm Pearl was successfully integrated.
The divine power limit of the secret mandala had reached 9087 points after the integration of the two Realm Pearls …
