"Concubine-taking ceremony?" A double-cultivation ceremony is equivalent to a secular wedding. According to the practice of the Cangzhou cultivation world, generally only high-level monks join hands with Taoists to hold a double-cultivation ceremony. If it is just a concubine-taking ceremony, there will be no corresponding ceremony. Yuan Xing secretly speculated that the reason why the eldest prince Jiang Kun held the concubinage ceremony was probably inseparable from his identity as the holy son, so as to carry out related games. "Yes." Ji Qu waved one hand, "The concubinage ceremony starts at noon. It's still early. Let's go and sit inside." Several people followed Ji Qu into the secret room and took their seats. Ji Qu said with a very interesting tone: "The eldest prince has not yet become the Holy Emperor, but he has begun to take in concubines, and each concubine is carefully considered. The first concubine is the sister of his adviser, and the second concubine is one of his The niece of the staff member, who is ranked eighth on the Boqing Ranking, is the concubine Feng Ying who has a good background. She is the daughter of Feng Chan, one of the five marshals of the dynasty. Jiang Kun is actively fighting for the throne. Very." As soon as Ji Qu finished speaking, Hua Ling immediately gave him a flirtatious look: "The eldest prince has even married three concubines, so what about the eighth prince, he doesn't want to be single all the time, right?" "Ling'er, My feelings for you can be seen from the heavens and the earth!" Ji Qu looked serious, "No matter whether I win the throne or not, I will give you an upright status. If I am lucky enough to ascend the throne of the Holy Emperor, you will be the queen of the dynasty! Hua Ling curled up her lips and said with great satisfaction: "I hope you can remember what you said." "Of course," Ji Qu repeatedly promised, "I will not only remember it, but also practice it in front of the Wind Song Demon Girl." When he came to pester me, I flatly refused and almost died from poison. Yuan Qing can prove it. " "I already know about this." Hua Ling smiled sweetly, "Although my father is a little opposed to our relationship, if necessary. , He will stand by the prince." Yuan Xing didn't reply, but he looked a little strange and glanced at Zhong Mou. "Brother Yuan, Zhongmou knows what you are thinking." Zhongmou shook his feather fan and chuckled, "Hua Ling is the daughter of Hua Xin, the marshal of the Wangyun Army. Hua Xin is known as the 'Famous Boqing' of the dynasty. Hua Ling's mother, Shui Ling, was the wife of Marshal Hua. She was dissatisfied with Hua Xin's frequent concubines, so she left Marshal Wangyun's Mansion and lived in seclusion in Huasheng Valley alone. A hermit in the mainland. Hua Xin was just a romantic person, and he often hung out in Huasheng Valley when he had free time. Because of this, few people knew Hua Ling's true identity. Before the Eighth Prince, Shui Ling was the only demon cultivator in the mainland who practiced the "Qingpeng Divine Art". Although he was only in the late stage of pill formation, he was able to teach others. Since the Eighth Prince was ten years old, he was sent to Huasheng Valley. Sui Shuiling cultivates Taoism. It can be said that since they were childhood sweethearts, they have loved each other and have a deep relationship. This is completely different from the eldest prince who puts his interests first. " Yuan Xing nodded suddenly, but didn't say anything. Hua Ling's face was stern and she scolded unhappily: "Zhongmou, who told you to reveal my affairs? It's so outrageous!" "Ling'er, Yuan Qing is not an outsider and should know about this." Ji Qu waved his hand and then looked at Xiang Yuan Xing, "Jiang Kun held a concubine-taking ceremony today. The main purpose is to build momentum and tell the demon cultivators in the world that Fengchan and the Fushun Army are already in his camp. This move is not wrong, but it is a bit eager for quick success. Before the handover of the throne, the Holy Son It is an invisible rule not to take advantage of the dynasty's army. It is precisely because of this that Ling'er temporarily exists as a guest. It is tantamount to digging his own grave. " " "Conspiracy." Zhong Mou answered slowly, "When the eldest prince gains power, Marshal Feng's status in the dynasty will be further improved. Otherwise, once the father-daughter relationship with Feng Ying is severed, Marshal Feng will be able to protect himself wisely, just like Empress Jiang. The actions of the eldest prince during the chaos were normal. Currently, the faction of the eldest prince and Xi Zun are still the most powerful. As soon as the eldest prince takes a concubine today, he will take the lead among the five saints. This is an immediate effect. "With the heroic nature of the eldest prince, he will do it immediately once someone encourages him." "What Zhong Qing said makes sense." Ji Qu nodded thoughtfully, "Although I have made some preparations in secret, it is obviously not enough. Fortunately, the emperor will not leave so soon. "Yuan Xing asked: "I wonder what the situation will be like in the past two years?" "The five saints are still fighting openly and secretly, and each is expanding its camp. Mou knew what Yuan Xing was going to ask, "Although the Eighth Prince's lineup has not changed at all, he has made many preparations secretly. In addition to Hua Keqing, Marshal Qi of the Dingyuan Army should also stand up." On the Eighth Prince's side, the bottle of spirit fox essence blood that Yuan Qing provided last time was for Marshal Qi's grandson Qi Jian. If Yuan Qing can accept Qi Jian as his disciple, this relationship will be more stable. Said, the Eighth Prince now?Indirectly win over the two legions. " "oh? "Yuan Xing's thoughts changed and he was quite moved. This would be very useful for him to find out the way to leave the lost continent. "If the Eighth Prince needs it, I don't care. I'll wait until I meet Qi Jian in person. " Ji Qu was very satisfied with Yuan Xing's response. He smiled and said: "Qi Jian is still in Dingyuan City. Yuan Qing and I will go there another day. ¡± Langtou Peak is where Jiang Kun¡¯s palace is located, and the concubinage ceremony was naturally held here. In an open-air square paved with white jade on this peak, there are exquisite jade tables and chairs arranged in squares, making it The participating monks took their seats according to their camps. Ji Qu, Zhongmou, Yan Lao, Hua Ling, Ji Yuan, and the thirteenth princess Ji You went to Langtou Peak and took their seats one by one under the leadership of a welcoming woman. Zhongmou sent them off on behalf of the eighth prince. Congratulations. At this time, the square was packed with people talking, and there were monks walking around, inviting friends. Yuan Xing glanced around and saw that most of the people present were demon cultivators in the transformation stage, and the number was nearly two hundred. Xing and Zhong Qing sat next to each other, and they had a very close relationship due to the mutual exchange of formation knowledge. Yuan Xing asked in a low voice: "It seems that the eldest prince's concubine-taking ceremony only invited demon cultivators above the transformation stage. I don't know." How many boqings are there in the mainland? " "Currently there are two hundred and thirteen people. Zhong Mou replied eloquently. This number made Yuan Xingsheng sigh with emotion, "Brother Yuan, look, the positions to the left and right of me are the camps of the other saints. The eldest prince arranged our positions together, and his intention is very obvious. . " After Zhongmou said this, Yuan Xing was too busy to glance left and right. Zhongmou introduced them one by one through voice transmission. Yuan Xing cared about Xi Zun the most. He saw that Xi Zun had a purple face and three wisps. His long beard fluttered in the wind, his figure was high and his whole body had no momentum, but Yuan Xing could see that his magic power was unfathomable. Yuan Xing said: "How is the ranking of the Qianglu Dynasty's Boqing ranked? " Zhongmou replied slowly: "The Qianglu Dynasty will hold a 'Bo Qing Discussion' every hundred years. All demon cultivators in the transformation stage can participate. In addition to the exchange of cultivation experiences, the discussion is a battle between Bo Qing. Skilled. The Ranking of Boqing is the result of the battle in Taoism. This list is not enough to determine the real combat power of each great Boqing. The combat capabilities of many Boqings who have not participated in Taoism discussions cannot be underestimated, especially the hermit Boqings, many of whom are crouching tigers, hidden dragons. " Yuan Xing nodded, this was more reasonable, and then said: "On the Boqing Ranking, Xi Zun ranks first, the eldest prince Jiang Kun ranks third, and Mr. Yan ranks fourth. I wonder who ranks second? " "Dou Yao. "Zhong Mou's always indifferent expression became more solemn, "This man, like Brother Yuan, has real abilities. The technique he practiced was "Peacock King Ming Jue", which refined the essence blood of Peacock King Ming, making him extremely talented. Emperor Xi has always been at the top of Bo Qing's list of celebrities due to his status. In fact, in Bo Qing's discussion two hundred years ago, if Xi Zun had not possessed a powerful ancient treasure, it would have been difficult to defeat Dou Yao. The subsequent Boqing discussions were not as good as the previous ones. In the past two hundred years, except for the removal of Xihuang's advancement, there were no changes in the top ten of Boqing's ranking. " Yuan Xing's expression changed and he glanced forward: "Is Dou Yao at the scene? " "Dou Yao is the leader of the chaos in the dynasty, so naturally he will not be invited. "Zhong Mou changed his voice and said, "Dou Yao was also the holy son of the dynasty back then. He couldn't compete with Emperor Xi, so he left the dynasty. On the surface, he is a hermit, but secretly he colludes with Queen Jiang in an attempt to seize the throne and subvert the regime. After Queen Jiang failed, Dou Yao united with a large number of demon cultivators and fled to the demon clan's territory. Due to his own powerful strength and the interference of the five demon kings, the dynasty has been unable to apprehend him. Zhong Mou expected that after Xi Huang came out of seclusion, he would perform surgery on Dou Yao. " "Is there still such a thing? "A trace of surprise flashed in Yuan Xing's eyes, "Isn't Dou Yao Jiang Kun's hidden help? " "Dou Yao is determined to be evil and will not give up this opportunity. Dou Yao occupies Chaoyin Mountain in Beilu and is the king, calling himself the "King of Yao". Over the past two hundred years, many wanted criminals from the Qianglu Dynasty have sought refuge in Chaoyin Mountain. Dou Ya now has considerable strength. Zhong Mou changed the subject, "According to reliable information, the eldest prince has gone to Chaoyin Mountain many times to meet with Dou Yao secretly. Privately, they may have reached some agreement. " At noon, the ceremony officially started. Jiang Kun and his concubine Feng Ying appeared together. Yuan Xing looked around and saw Feng Ying, who was slim and slim, but her appearance was not impressive. She was in the early stage of forming pills. Jiang Kun was wearing a bright red robe, with a strong back and waist, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes. , full of imposing manner, looking like a full-fledged hero. The so-called concubine-taking ceremony is a flowing banquet. Jiang Kun made a simple opening speech, and a maidservant carrying various delicacies filed out with elegance. In the following process, all the participating monks were enjoying the food as they walked back and forth in the square. There was no ceremony, and the atmosphere was joyful, at least on the surface.In the sky, when the concubinage ceremony was about to end, suddenly, an extremely terrifying coercion of heaven and earth erupted from the Shengyang Palace in the distance, and swept towards Hammer Peak in a mighty manner. There was a moment of silence in the square, and all the monks were shocked!
