"What's going on?"
Lady Zhao was still sitting calmly, but Lady Rong couldn't sit still anymore. This time, Hong Xuanji was taking in a concubine. It was already shocking enough that so many people had sent gifts. Lady Zhao seemed to have a card up her sleeve, but Lady Rong had never seen such a grand scene before.
This wasn't strange. Other than the Empress Dowager's birthday and the Emperor's birthday, all the governors would come to pay tribute. The other nobles and the crown prince's coronation ceremony didn't have such a grand scene.
And this time, the gift was even bigger than the Empress Dowager's and the Emperor's birthday. No matter which noble family it was, even the most experienced noble lady would tremble in fear and be at a loss.
So when Lady Rong saw how calm Lady Zhao was, an unfathomable feeling welled up in her heart.
"They're fighting over a congratulatory gift and started arguing. Now they're in a mess." When the servant heard Lady Zhao's question, she hurriedly knelt and reported.
"How is that possible? What day is it today? Prince Feng, Duke Li, and Duke Ling, which one of them isn't a person of etiquette? Why are they arguing over a congratulatory gift on such an occasion? You stupid girl, do you want to die? "Lady Rong said angrily.
"No, it's true! They're still arguing right now. "The servant hurriedly kowtowed.
"She wouldn't dare to lie about such an important matter. What kind of gift is it?" Lord Zhao said coldly, "What kind of gift is worth fighting over?"
"It's …" The servant glanced at the cold Lady Zhao.
"Speak!" Lady Zhao snorted coldly.
"It's a copy of the Book of Changes written by Hong Yi from the Zhouyi Academy. Originally, Duke Li wanted it as a congratulatory gift, but now many people want to exchange it for something else. Lady, you should go out and take care of the situation. "The servant kowtowed.
"Hong Yi! The Book of Changes? " When Lady Zhao heard this, a cold aura immediately emanated from her body and a ferocious expression flashed across her face.
"Is it really the Book of Changes written by Hong Yi? However, Madam Rong let out a cry of surprise. "How much is this worth? I heard that the Empress Dowager went to the Academy of Changes to ask for a manuscript of the Book of Changes, but she didn't manage to obtain it. Now, it's actually being sent as a congratulatory gift? There are so many aristocratic families that want this book, but they can't get it. If we can get it, we can exchange it with the Divine Wind Nation and the Yun Meng Nation for many Xiantian masters, Transcendent Masters, and even Wu Sheng to work for us. "
"Hmph!" Madam Zhao snorted coldly again, "I've prepared so many countermeasures for this Hong Yi. I've prepared for him to cause trouble today and let him suffer a great loss. I didn't expect him to ruin my entire plan with just a simple manuscript! "
"Go! Come with me! " Madam Zhao stood up, "Lord Fashen, are the Pope and Marquis still in the secret chamber?"
"That's right, they are discussing important matters in the secret chamber. They will only come out to meet the guests later." Lord Fashen replied.
"Then you should come with me. If you are loyal to me and do a few big things for me, I won't be stingy with some things. For example, what you need for my flesh and blood to be sacrificed …" Madam Zhao said deeply, as if she had great power in her hands.
"Madam, it's a deal!"
Lord Fashen and Xue Shen looked at each other. The flesh and blood sacrifice was a sacrificial method for the deities to transform into a human body. They indeed wanted to transform into a human body to improve their powers.
The deities' bodies were incomplete and could not be possessed. They could only use the sacrifice to rebuild their bodies.
Two hours later, the commotion caused by Hong Yi's manuscript of the Book of Changes had finally subsided. The Dukes and Dukes who were fighting for the Book of Changes were also invited to the Hou Residence for a banquet in the garden at the center of the Hou Residence.
However, the contents of Duke Li's congratulatory gift had already spread to the ears of everyone in the Hou Residence, big or small.
Many people were discussing about it.
"This time, those Dukes, Dukes, and Royal Family are having a drink at the Lake Haizi in the garden? Although we are the Governor's sons, we can only drink in these rooms. Our status is not high enough, so we can't attend the banquet. "
At this moment, in the other rooms of the Hou Residence, a few Young Masters were eating and drinking in groups of twos and threes. They were all served by people.
This time, there were more than a thousand guest rooms. It was enough to entertain the Governor's sons, officials, and many wealthy merchants. However, the real banquet was held at the Lake Haizi in the center of the Hou Residence. They did not have seats and could only complain.
"How can a Book of Changes be so charming? I read it for a while, but I don't know what it is talking about. On the other hand, my Old Master reads it every day and night. He is like a demon! "One of the Young Masters whispered.
"Ugh! Brother Qin, you don't even know how to read the Book of Changes? You are so uncultured and uneducated. You will be laughed at. " Another Young Master quickly pulled the Young Master and said, "At this moment, most of the tables and tea parties are talking about the Book of Changes. If you don't understand Tai Chi and the Eight Trigrams, you will be excluded from this circle. If my Old Master knows that there is a Book of Changes written by the Master of Changes here, he will probably go bankrupt and give up his position to come here to ask for it. "
At the tea tables in the other rooms.
A few middle-aged officials and a few wealthy merchants were also discussing, "The Book of Changes, the Kun hexagram says that on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be frost and ice will arrive. What does that mean? Please enlighten me on your knowledge. "
"Didn't the Confucian scholars explain it? A family that accumulates good deeds will have more than good deeds, and a family that accumulates evil deeds will have more than good deeds. It is also a sign of gradual progress. The Earth hexagram is virtuous, but it is not something that can be done in a day … "
The few officials spoke with fervor and assurance.
At this moment, at the banquet for Marquis Wu Wen's concubine taking banquet, after the disturbance caused by Hong Yi's Book of Changes, the discussion of the Book of Changes became more and more lively. It was like an academic exchange. Even some of the Young Masters who did not know much about the Book of Changes also joined in the conversation.
At this moment, at the banquet by the Haizi Lake in the main residence, crystal pavilions were built in the garden using a kind of "glass" produced by the Marquis Champion.
After Hong Yi took over all the forces of the Marquis Champion, he saw the value of this material. Therefore, he produced it on a large scale. Many forces also began to imitate it. Now, many noble families began to accept this strange crystal.
However, for Marquis Wu Wen's family to build one pavilion after another with glass and hold a banquet while admiring the snow, it was an extremely extravagant thing.
In these pavilions, people could see the lake in the distance. Many songs and dances were performed in the pavilions in the center of the lake. It was simply exquisite. It was unknown how much manpower, material resources, and financial resources were used.
Now, hundreds of Academy Masters, princes, princes, princesses, dukes, and Marquis were all seated in these pavilions. The singing of the gift list was also louder and louder, symbolizing the value of each force's gift.
"The Crown Prince has arrived! The Prince He has arrived! The Prince Chan has arrived! The Prince Mi has arrived! "At this moment, four people sang loudly, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax. The crowd saw the Crown Prince Yang Yuan, Prince He, as well as Prince Chan and Prince Mi, who in the past two years had been bestowed titles by the Emperor and had greatly increased their power. They sat in the pavilions.
"Hong Xuanji, today is the day for you to take in a concubine. Aren't you guarding against your son showing up? But it seems that your son hasn't shown up yet. Just one book has changed the entire atmosphere of the banquet. Overturning the clouds and overturning the rain, the general trend is already set. Everything is reasonable. If he really comes, how will you deal with him? "
In the secret chamber of the Marquis's Mansion, Hong Xuanji was dressed in a brocade robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon. His acupoints were wide open, constantly absorbing all kinds of unknown Genuine Qi and Primordial Qi in the entire universe. In front of him stood the Essence Temple Pope, dressed in red with a red veil covering his face.
"Who's behind you? Tell me all about it today. " Hong Xuanji did not answer the Essence Temple Pope's question. Instead, he said in a mysterious tone, "The Book of Changes was originally a kind of mystery of heaven and earth. It was just that someone wrote it first to steal the mysteries of heaven."
"Who's behind me? The Primordial Qi God is already dead. Who else could it be? If there was someone behind me, do you think I, a master of six Thunder Tribulations and a Pope, would lower myself to marry you? "The Essence Temple Pope said coldly.
"Well, I'll find out sooner or later even if you don't tell me. But it doesn't matter if I tell you my cultivation. I've already comprehended the Immortality Tao Fruit and I'm only one step away from the Vacuum-shattering Realm. I can step into that realm at any time. I'm stronger than the person behind you. " Hong Xuanji continued in a cold tone. Then he stood up and said, "Follow me out. The princes and princes are all here."
"Hehe …" The Essence Yuan Temple's Pontiff let out a mysterious chuckle and followed behind Hong Xuanji.
"Huh? That's Hong Xuanji's concubine? Unfathomable! "
At this time, in the many glass pavilions on the shore of Haizi Lake, people saw Hong Xuanji and his concubine coming out. They were all shocked. Which of these princes and nobles did not have good eyesight? They could tell at a glance that the Essence Temple Pope was not ordinary.
"Everyone, I'm really grateful to you for coming to my concubine banquet today. I've prepared some wine to show my respect. " After Hong Xuanji came out, the entire lakeside of Haizi Lake seemed to be under a spell. An indescribable aura filled the air. Those who were talking about the Book of Changes seemed to be under a magic spell and actually stopped talking.
Although Crown Prince Yang Yuan was present, Hong Xuanji did not need to salute him because Hong Xuanji was the Crown Prince's master. Instead, it was the Crown Prince who had to salute him.
At this time, Hong Xuanji's body was constantly emitting a whirlpool-like aura. Regardless of how profound one's cultivation was, they would not be able to calm their minds after seeing Hong Xuanji. They would unconsciously put their minds into him.
The weight of his majesty was like a mountain pressing down on everyone's subconscious.
This was the first time many of the people present felt that Hong Xuanji was actually this terrifying.
"Hmm? Senior Tutor Hong's cultivation must have reached the legendary realm. He can fly in the sky and burrow underground. He's omnipotent. Resonating with heaven and earth and shattering the vacuum? "Yuan Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the Yuan Clan and the dean of the Ziyan Academy, was shocked.
At the same time, Prince Mi, Yang Lie, and Prince Chan, Dragon Soul of the Primordial Mountain, Yang Chan, were also shocked.
"Hong Xuanji's cultivation is getting more terrifying by the day. He's improving much faster than me. If this continues, once he shatters the vacuum, I won't be his match even if I become a Creator. "For the first time, Yang Lie felt that Hong Xuanji's threat was even greater than Yang Pan's.
At this moment, another song came from the outside: "Prince Yu, Dean of the Zhou Yi Academy, Hong Yi, presents a gift."
Rumble!
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Everyone present was wondering if Hong Yi would attend this concubine ceremony. At this moment, everyone wanted to witness Hong Yi's glory. Since the establishment of the Zhou Yi Academy, the study of Yi had spread all over the world. Hong Yi's face had gradually become mysterious. In a short five years, Hong Yi made his debut in the imperial examinations. In his first year, he was the Top Scorer of the Jade Capital. In his second year, he was the Second Sage Champion. In his third year, he defeated the Western Regions and became the War God of the School of Military. In his fourth and fifth years, he established the Zhou Yi Academy and wrote supreme scriptures. There were even rumors that his cultivation had reached the level of the Middle Ages Philosophers, allowing him to travel beyond the heavens.
Many of them were people with high cultivation, and they all wanted to see what the cultivation of the Middle Ages Philosophers was like.
At this moment, Prince Yu and a group of people came in. Walking in front of Prince Yu was Hong Yi, who was dressed in loose clothes. When Hong Yi came in, a gentle and noble aura spread out. Everyone seemed to hear the chanting of the Hundred Sages Philosophers in their subconscious. Their souls that were suppressed by Hong Xuanji's aura suddenly became lively and full of wisdom.
"I've finally stepped into Marquis Wu Wen's residence again …"
Hong Yi thought to himself the moment he stepped into the Marquis's residence.
