Chapter 388 Ancient Times, Princess Yuzhen

The lake breeze blows gently.

The two stood side by side on the sparkling deck.

Looking at the boundless lake, Shen Qing couldn't help but wonder whether the origin of Beihai was true or false.

He couldn't help but said: "As for the origin of the North Sea, there are folk rumors that it was caused by ancient monks. Do you think it is true?"

"Nine times out of ten, it's true." Huangfu Rou said firmly.

"Why?" Shen Qing asked curiously.

Huangfurou's eyes passed through the waves, as if she saw that glorious era that was far away, and she slowly said: "I heard that in the ancient times, the world was full of spiritual energy. The monks picked the stars and the moon at will, and once they performed a skill, The situation has changed."

"At that time, there were all kinds of things in the world, and hundreds of flowers were blooming. A beam of light could destroy the world, and a blade of grass could cut down stars. The avenues of heaven and earth were controlled by people, and immortality was not out of reach for many monks."

As he spoke, Huangfurou's eyes flashed with endless yearning for the ancient times.

Shen Qing's expression became serious. This was the first time he heard about ancient things, which shocked him.

Huangfu Rou's experience in the Shanhai Division during this period of time probably made him know many secrets that the people at the bottom didn't know.

He asked with some confusion: "If it was so powerful in ancient times, why is it like this now?"

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

"Yes." Huangfurou said with a long sigh: "In ancient times, when the human race was in a brilliant era, the heaven suddenly collapsed, and countless sects disappeared overnight. Those who once stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world The inheritance was silently cut off. The path we are cultivating today was completely built on those ruins."

Shen Qing frowned slightly, turned his gaze to the vast lake not far away, and said after a long time: "Then our ancestors are really amazing."

"Look at this northern sea that extends for nearly a hundred miles. It is the trace left by the punch of the ancient power. You can feel the power of the ancestors of that era. How lucky we are."

Shen Qing looked at the lake, silent.

Not long after, a gong sounded from behind the deck, like a startling roar in autumn, breaking the tranquility of the lake.

Huangfurou tilted his head slightly and said to Shen Qing: "The chrysanthemum appreciation meeting is about to begin. Let's go there."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked inside.

Shen Qing had long heard of Princess Yuzhen's reputation, and she couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation deep in her heart.

He closely followed Huangfu Rou's pace, and the two walked side by side towards the building's boat.

In the lobby of the building, the main seats for the chrysanthemum appreciation ceremony have been carefully arranged in the center. The surrounding areas are decorated with various chrysanthemums, which makes it look particularly enchanting. The air is filled with a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Not only that, in addition to the floral shapes composed of various chrysanthemums, there is also a gorgeous costume made entirely of chrysanthemums of various colors displayed in the center, which is eye-catching.

This gorgeous dress paved with chrysanthemums stretches for more than ten meters and is decorated with many gold, silver and corals, making it extremely luxurious.

At this time, many gentlemen and ladies had already rushed over to the door, which seemed a bit lively.

When Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou arrived at the entrance of the hall, a woman with outstanding appearance stopped them both with a look of caution.

"The two distinguished guests are disturbing you. I am Su Qiaoqiao. I am organizing this grand event for Princess Yuzhen today. I don't know the names of the two distinguished guests, so I can arrange their seats."

Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou looked at each other, and Huangfu Rou lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady of the Su family."

Shen Qing's heart trembled because the woman in front of her was the daughter of a noble family.

He took out the invitation, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sending Shen Qing to the southern part of the Bingma Division."

"The general manager of Shanhaisi is sending Huangfu Rou."

Huangfu Rou and Shen Qing announced their families one after another.

Su Qiaoqiao immediately remembered the identities of the two people.

She gently took the invitation from the two of them, smiled slightly, and showed everyone's style in her behavior.

After careful verification, he took out two exquisite identity cards from the tray of the maid beside him, handed them to them and said: "It turns out that it is two adults who are here to welcome two distinguished guests. Please come in with this card. Two adults, please." "

After receiving the identity card and invitation, Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou passed by Su Qiaoqiao and entered the hall.

I saw that in the hall, young ladies, celebrities and elegant people from all walks of life had gathered together, chatting and laughing happily.

They used Ju as a matchmaker to chat about interesting things happening around them.

"Forty-one..."

Shen Qing took his identity card and found his position relatively far back.

This location is relatively hidden and not so eye-catching, which is in line with his desire to observe in secret and understand intelligence.

He just sat down, but he didn't expect Huangfu Rou to follow him closely.

Shen Qing said in surprise: "Are you sitting here too?"

Huangfu Rou pretended to be angry and said, "Why, can't I just sit here?"

"Haha... Miss Huangfu, although you usually like to have a cold face, you are not pretending to be angry at all." Shen Qing exposed Huangfu Rou's little thoughts with one sentence.

She gritted her teeth secretly, and for some reason, she felt that the handsome man in front of her was a bit disgusting.

"Seriously." Shen Qing sat in his seat, silently moved inside, smiled at Huangfu Rou and said, "You sit here, I really want it."

The slightest hint of unhappiness in Huangfu Rou's heart disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and he sat next to Shen Qing with a calm expression, sitting upright.

She looked around and felt that it was quiet, only she and Shen Qing, which was what she wanted.

"What are you looking at?" Not far away, your noble son Zhao Liu poked Li Yi beside him and said curiously: "Staring at someone, do you like them?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "I just saw a familiar figure and was a little curious."

Your noble son Zhao Liu smiled and said jokingly: "But let me tell you, Ninth Young Master, you have a good taste. Huangfu Rou's appearance and figure are not bad. With the current status of their Huangfu family, you should marry her as a Concubine. It just so happens that you have grown up and need someone to teach you the art of the house, haha..."

"There's just an eyesore sitting next to you. How about you buy me a drink and I'll help you get rid of him? Sitting in that row, you know that he has no money. It's easy for me to get rid of him."

Both Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou have reached a certain level in cultivation, and their five senses are sharper than those of ordinary people.

The conversation of the noble young master was overheard by the two of them.

To be honest, such words are quite offensive.

Before Shen Qing made any move, Huangfu Rou had already taken his arm, poured a cup of tea by herself, and said calmly: "Let's have a cup of tea first, we'll talk later."

He could sense some vague unpleasant emotions in Huangfu Rou, but he still suppressed it.

Shen Qing couldn't help but glance at Huangfu Rou.

In the middle of the hall, Li Yi, who was sitting in his seat, glanced at Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou. Seeing their calm and composed appearance, he couldn't help but concentrate, and vaguely recalled what his father had said.

He said that he was not as good as Shen Qing at the moment, which still made him feel angry.

For some reason, what Zhao Liu said next to him made him a little unhappy.

It's so easy for you to deal with him. Doesn't that mean I'm useless?

Li Yi said coldly: "Shut your stupid mouth and speak less, no one will treat you as a mute."

Your noble son Zhao Liu thought that he heard wrongly, and his face turned cold: "Li Laojiu, what do you mean by this?"

"I said shut the fuck up."

Your noble son, Zhao Liu, thought that he had heard wrongly. He suddenly became angry and a surge of anger surged from his heart.

You, Li Yi, are young and have no hair at all. You often bully men and dominate women, so you don't pretend to be serious.

He just stood up and wanted to teach this young man who knew nothing about the world a good lesson.

However, just as he stood up, a huge fist hit him in the face. His whole vision went dark, and he flew backwards, hitting the wall hard.

The severe pain made him cover his nose and scream.

"ah!"

Li Yi is young and energetic, which is when his anger is strong.

He was even more annoyed after suffering a loss at the hands of Shen Qing a few days ago.

He couldn't defeat Shen Qing, so couldn't he teach this dude a lesson?

He just acted first and vented his anger later.

Su Qiaoqiao, who was greeting guests at the door, was startled when she saw this, and hurried over and asked, "What's going on?"

"The ninth young master of the Li family suddenly beat up the sixth young master Zhao."

Su Qiaoqiao's scalp suddenly became numb.

She never expected that something like this would happen when the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference was about to start.

I was extremely careful, but something went wrong.

Now there's trouble.

Just as her thoughts were racing, she was trying to find a solution.

Young Master Zhao Liu staggered up from the ground, his face covered in blood.

He stared at Li Yi, with blazing anger in his eyes, like an enraged beast, gritting his teeth and saying: "Li Jiu, I will kill you!"

boom!

At this moment, an indescribable pressure surged out from the depths of the mysterious cabin like a flash flood, silently covering the entire hall.

The air in the hall froze. Except for Shen Qing, everyone's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it tightened involuntarily.

"oops!"

Su Qiaoqiao exclaimed softly and frowned. Although she had seen many big scenes in daily life, the pressure she felt at this moment made her feel uneasy like never before.

"Come here! Throw this rude young master of the Zhao family into the lake and let him sober up."

A clear female voice came from the cabin, like the sound of nature, but with unquestionable majesty.

Everyone heard the sound and followed it one after another.

I saw a beautiful woman wearing pearls and emeralds walking out of the cabin surrounded by several maids.

She has a beautiful face, her skin is as white as snow, and her eyebrows are picturesque. She looks like a fairy on earth, exuding a fairy-like air.

A beam of sunlight came in from outside the cabin and hit her face, making it look crystal clear.

The facial features are as if they were carved from beautiful jade.

Shen Qing was amazed when he saw it for the first time.

If he guessed correctly, this one should be the most beautiful woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Princess Yuzhen!

Li Yi's face lit up when he heard this. He heard that Princess Yuzhen didn't like Zhao Liu's naughty words either: "Your Highness, Princess, you have a clear understanding."

Zhao Liu in the distance was trembling like chaff at the moment, and he didn't say a word, showing no trace of masculinity.

Su Qiaoqiao was the first to react and signaled to the attendant behind her.

They understood what Su Qiaoqiao meant and hurried forward without thinking too much. They directly picked up Zhao Liu and dragged him out of the hall like a dead dog.

After doing all this, Su Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in her heart, stepped forward quickly, bowed to Princess Yuzhen Yingying, kept the baton in a decent manner and said: "It was my poor arrangement, Your Highness Princess, please You punish."

Princess Yuzhen waved her hand gently and said: "It doesn't matter. The forest is big, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of birds. You have arranged this chrysanthemum viewing party well, and I am very satisfied."

After saying this, she gently raised her hand and signaled the maid beside her to take out a gong.

Princess Yuzhen opened her red lips lightly and announced to everyone present: "This year's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference has officially begun!"

As Princess Yuzhen finished speaking, the gong was struck.

The sound of silk and bamboo flowed out from behind her, instantly filling the entire hall.

The tension on the faces of many guests present gradually faded away.

Huangfu Rou, who had been holding Shen Qing's hand, relaxed at this time, pretending to be nothing, and picked up the tea cup to drink tea.

Shen Qing smiled and said nothing.

Just after Princess Yuzhen announced the start of the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, everyone sat down and surrounded the pots of carefully arranged chrysanthemums with their own characteristics, and began to speak freely and express their opinions.

At the seat closest to Princess Yuzhen, a woman in yellow clothes stood up first. Her eyes were like a torch, staring at the top of the "huafu", a pot of rare chrysanthemums named "Frost Moon Hanju", appreciating: " I think this chrysanthemum should belong to other chrysanthemums The best among them, the flower is shaped like a fairy standing in the frost, and its petals have distinct layers. When I look closely, I can feel the good intentions of the cultivator, who must be an accomplished martial artist who understands chrysanthemums. Only spiritual nourishment can produce such excellent works.”

"Miss Zhang, your vision is as accurate as ever. This is the new chrysanthemum that Her Royal Highness has patiently cultivated this year." The maid standing next to Princess Yuzhen said with a smile.

Zhang Qingying was surprised and said: "No wonder. I'm just wondering how these chrysanthemums are cultivated so well."

Princess Yuzhen, who was sitting in the chief position, was very impressed by Zhang Qingying's praise. She smiled so brightly that the people present were mesmerized.

Immediately afterwards, a young man sitting next to Su Qiaoqiao pointed and stroked a pot of chrysanthemum named "Nine Yang Chiju" and tasted it: "The petals of this chrysanthemum are as gorgeous as fire. I noticed It contains a trace of spiritual power. In my opinion, this pot of chrysanthemums is not only for viewing, but also helpful for spiritual practice. It is a rare masterpiece. "

"If possible, Your Highness Princess, I would like to spend a thousand taels of gold to buy one of the petals."

hiss……

Everyone present took a breath when they heard this.

Even Shen Qing, who was sitting in the corner, was secretly speechless.

He is worthy of being a powerful person in the Zhou Dynasty.

They are all rich people.

He was actually willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy just one of the petals.

Shen Qing thought that he had accumulated some wealth now, but he was far from squandering it like this.

Princess Yuzhen said with a smile: "Young Master Su is really discerning. This pot of Nine-Yang Blazing Chrysanthemum is indeed a bit unusual. If you can guide the spiritual essence in it into your body, it will really help your practice."

What?

Is there really a chrysanthemum that can help spiritual practice?

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was amazed. (End of chapter)
