Chapter 52

Northern Song, Imperial Palace, Zichen Hall.

The whole hall was magnificent and elegant, but Wu Pifu had no culture and could only describe it as low-key luxury.

"Damn, is this gold-paved floor?" Amada stepped on the ground and said.

"This is a specially fired brick, um, low-key luxury." Wu Pifu said.

"Damn, this wood has such a rich fragrance, it has been extinct since the Third War." Amada knocked on the table in front of him and said.

"This is a specially felled wood, um, low-key luxury." Wu Pifu said.

"Damn, these foods are really..."

"Um, low-key luxury..."

Xu Shilan looked at the two speechlessly and said, "I said, are you two enough? Why don't you just kill them? Why use such awkward laughter to hide your murderous intent?"

The three of them didn't avoid the left and right when they spoke, and although Chu Minghao didn't say anything or do anything, he watched the three happily without any obstruction.

This made the serving eunuchs and maids break into a cold sweat, and also made the officials on the left and right feel embarrassed. I don't know if they should speak, or accompany them with a smile, or simply have no expression.

The two Golden Warriors were roared and exploded by Wu Pifu, along with the Imperial Preceptor Guo Jing who fainted directly, and then... those two children's souls were not seen by Wu Pifu alone.

Everyone present saw it!

Although the remains of the Golden Warrior burned and destroyed quickly, this scene still made Wu Pifu and others have some guesses in their hearts.

However, Chu Minghao didn't say anything, and even happily agreed to the banquet invitation of the Zhao Song Emperor Zhao Ji, and brought the three to this Zichen Hall.

But Wu Pifu and Amada couldn't bear it. One had a normal worldview and was truly murderous when seeing such things. The other grew up in the Third War. Although he was used to life and death, he couldn't bear to see any children have any trouble. This was the iron rule in the Third War, so the murderous intent of the two really broke out blatantly.

Chu Minghao said to the two, "I have my own plans, don't panic."

The two calmed down a little, but their eyes were fierce.

The four sat down, and there were many eunuchs and maids in the palace starting to arrange and serve dishes. Some officials also came to sit down. They were very curious about these four people in strange clothes. However, most of these officials were in green, and a few were in scarlet.

Wu Pifu only had a general knowledge of the Great Song Dynasty, but he knew about the official uniforms of the Song Dynasty. According to the color, purple is a high-level official, probably above the third or fourth rank, then scarlet, and then green.

With the arrival of these low-level officials, gradually some scarlet and purple officials arrived. Some officials even bowed respectfully to Chu Minghao from afar.

Chu Minghao just drank tea with a smile, looking like a cloud and light wind. With the fairy flavor he created using super-brain, he really bluffed everyone, including Wu Pifu and Amada.

About twenty minutes later, suddenly there was the sound of a whip, and then the ministers stood up respectfully. Only the four of Chu Minghao sat steadily in place. Immediately after, an old man wearing the Emperor's uniform walked out from behind the hall, surrounded by ceremonial guards. Accompanying him were a middle-aged woman, several princes, and a princess, who were all sitting in the upper and surrounding positions.

At this time, the whole royal banquet was still considered normal. Those low-level ministers didn't know the truth of this banquet. However, in the past Lantern Festival, the Zhao Song Emperor would also hold a banquet, and it was in this Zichen Hall. Although there were a few more people in strange clothes than usual, thinking of the recent war in the north, maybe these four were righteous people from the north.

It's just that it was so rude at this time. Immediately, a remonstrating official stood out and was about to speak.

Yet, unexpectedly, Zhao Ji took a step ahead of them and smiled at Chu Minghao, "It's a great pleasure for the Immortal to come. Please enjoy the culture and food of my Great Song."

After speaking, the eunuch beside Zhao Ji cleared his throat, preparing to call the song and dance troupe outside the hall to enter the performance. At this time, the sky outside was at the end of dusk, and the palace hall was also lit with lanterns and candles.

During this period, Zhao Ji didn't even look at those ministers who stood up and saluted.

Chu Minghao laughed, interrupted the eunuch's words, and said, "Wait a minute, I ask you, where is the Daoist Guo Jing?"

Zhao Ji's expression changed slightly, and the dozen or so ministers who knew the truth also changed their expressions. But the rest of the ministers who didn't know were dark-faced, and even some ministers came out on the spot and were about to ask directly.

The atmosphere in the hall changed immediately. But Chu Minghao seemed not to notice. He laughed again, stood up suddenly, his voice became thick, and his body began to grow taller and larger without end. And the lights and candles in the whole hall began to dim at this moment, as if Chu Minghao alone blocked all the light.

Wu Pifu, who was sitting beside Chu Minghao, felt the deepest. At this moment, he felt that Chu Minghao seemed to be a thousand meters high. Even if the whole hall was not a hundred meters high, the feeling of being extremely small was extremely strong. He even felt that he was not as big as one of Chu Minghao's fingers.

Everyone inside and outside the hall was stunned and suffocated. The terrifying pressure like seeing a god, the timidity of being as small as an ant, broke out at this moment. They even found that they couldn't move a finger.

"Old man, I ask you, where is the Daoist Guo Jing!?"

The voice was thick, not very loud, but it seemed to come from the nine heavens, rolling down like thunder.

"Here, here, here, Immortal, calm down, Immortal, calm down, the evil Daoist Guo Jing has been executed, has been executed, Immortal, please take back this divine power, we mortals can't bear it, we mortals can't bear it." Zhao Ji was terrified, but unlike others, he could speak, so he shouted in panic, no longer daring to put on the Emperor's posture.

As Zhao Ji spoke, Chu Minghao seemed to start to shrink, and the lights gradually returned to their original appearance. After a few seconds, everyone was horrified to find that they could move and speak, while Chu Minghao was still sitting in place, as if everything just now was an illusion.

But where is this? And who are they?

This is the core of the Imperial Song, the palace where the Emperor is located, offering the Six Imperial Seals, connecting the national destiny golden dragon, and immune to all evil. Even that Daoist Guo Jing could call the wind and rain outside the city of Bianliang, and could cast beans into soldiers. After coming to this city of Bianliang, without the Emperor's permission, he couldn't even cast an illusion.

And who are they? They dare not say that they are all great Confucian scholars, but at least they are all proficient in Confucianism, and their hearts are protected by Confucian righteousness. What illusions, what Buddhist and Daoist methods, and even demon and ghost methods are all greatly reduced in effect on them. And they also have the protection of the national destiny golden dragon, so they are not afraid of these divine and ghost powers.

But the scene just now happened, and even the Emperor who received the heavy burden of the country couldn't bear it, only able to speak. This means that this young man is stronger than the hundreds of millions of people in the Imperial Song combined?

Could it really be an Immortal!?

No one dared to move, no one dared to speak, only Zhao Ji hurriedly roared at the eunuch leader who fell to the ground beside the hall, "Didn't I order the head of the evil Daoist Guo Jing to be offered? You guys ruined things, hurry up!"

The eunuch leader woke up like a dream, kept apologizing, and ran to the back of the hall with several eunuchs.

Chu Minghao just smiled and drank tea without speaking. And no one in the hall dared to move or speak. Especially those guards in the hall wished they could really turn into statues.

Everything in the hall seemed to be frozen. Time passed second by second. Many people's foreheads were already covered with sweat, but no one dared to wipe it.

Just then, the eunuch leader held a silver tray, and a head was placed on the silver tray. It was the head of the Imperial Preceptor Guo Jing, full of horror and shock, and it was offered to the hall like this. Zhao Ji saw this and immediately said hurriedly, "Hurry up and offer it to the Immortal!"

The eunuch leader didn't dare to delay, knelt down and carefully offered the head to Chu Minghao's table. Chu Minghao looked at the head and looked at Zhao Ji thoughtfully. Zhao Ji was immediately soaked in sweat.

After a few seconds, people in the hall felt that it had been days or tens of days. Chu Minghao suddenly laughed lightly, "It is indeed the head of the evil Daoist Guo Jing. The Emperor can distinguish good from evil and know loyalty from treachery, which is not bad."

Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief and laughed dryly, "Immortal's praise, Immortal's praise, come, come, come, all ministers, sit, sit, and come to see the Immortal."

The ministers were relieved, and each bowed and agreed, and then bowed to Chu Minghao, and then sat down. During that moment, these ministers were also soaked in cold sweat.

"Serve the banquet!"

"Enter the dance!"

"Start the music!"

The eunuch shouted loudly, and immediately a large group of palace maids entered from outside the hall and started dancing in the hall, and the sound of silk and bamboo slowly sounded.

This was the palace banquet process. The ministers, Emperor, and princes were still thinking about the Immortal's power, and then someone with sharp eyes discovered that the Immortal's disciple sitting near the Immortal, Wu Pifu, who broke the evil with one roar, was staring at the Imperial Princess sitting below King Kang Zhao Gou, who was the only one of all the Imperial Princesses to come to the scene.

!

Zhao Ji's twenty-sixth daughter, Imperial Princess Yongfu, Zhao Fubao.

Zhao Ji saw this and was happy in his heart, secretly praising himself for being wise and martial. It was good that he called Yongfu, otherwise, today's matter would be a big trouble.

While the ministers' thoughts were constant, and Zhao Ji was thinking about many thoughts, Chu Minghao suddenly said, "Emperor, having received this banquet, what do you want?"

Zhao Ji's heart was about to jump out. He endured the desire for longevity in his heart and said respectfully, "How dare I, how dare I? Being able to see a true Immortal is already a great blessing and luck. How dare I have other thoughts?"

Chu Minghao laughed, "Life has desires. Mortals are like this, how can Immortals be spared? I brought three disciples out of the South China Sea Penglai, just to give these three unpromising disciples a training in the human world. I have desires, let alone you?"

South China Sea, Penglai...

All the ministers lowered their heads, enduring the horror in their hearts. But Zhao Ji didn't have to be like this. He asked urgently, "Could it be that overseas immortal mountain Penglai Island?"

Chu Minghao nodded, "It is indeed the immortal mountain Penglai. However, there are immortal restrictions there, and mortals cannot set foot on it. I can't invite you to a banquet now."

"I dare not, I dare not." Zhao Ji said immediately.

Chu Minghao showed a thoughtful expression, "Then let me make a covenant with you. These three disciples of mine are unpromising. They can neither make a living in the world nor farm. I am afraid they will starve to death in this human world."

Zhao Ji immediately said, "How can that be? I will definitely..."

"Listen to me first."

Chu Minghao said, "Let them train in the human world for five years. During these five years, you give them a place to live and provide them with food. Anyway, they will often disappear to hunt demons and ghosts, and they won't bother you much. After five years, I will come to pick them up. How about giving you and ten designated people fifty years of life each?"

All the ministers, eunuchs, guards, palace maids, and even the princes, Empress, and Emperor couldn't help but swallow their saliva. The sound even echoed in the hall, but no one in the hall cared about this embarrassment, just staring at Chu Minghao.

However, Zhao Ji was overjoyed, but the greater desire in his heart became more intense. But before he could speak, Chu Minghao also looked at Wu Pifu beside him, looking at him staring at the little girl, and he laughed, saying, "Of course, if there is fate, it is not impossible to invite people into Penglai. Just don't have other desires, okay?"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly, even standing up from the dragon chair, "I dare not, I dare not. I will definitely respect the Immortal's decree, I will definitely respect the Immortal's decree!"

Chu Minghao just smiled. At this time, Wu Pifu also withdrew his gaze from Zhao Fubao's face with an expressionless face. He was about to speak to Chu Minghao, but Chu Minghao's voice sounded in his mind, and Chu Minghao's lips didn't move at all.

"Guo Jing is not dead. The one who died was just a substitute who looked like him."

"I am here to help you, but I cannot be your nanny. You also need to fight, train, and become stronger so that you can face greater challenges and responsibilities in the future."

"So, I give you a comprehensive task."

"Kill Guo Jing and the power behind him, and at the same time upgrade your shelter in this world to Level 5. Clean up all evil grotesqueries in this world as much as possible. This place can be used as a logistics base for you to conquer other Dream Worlds in the future."

"I will return in five years, as I just said. If you complete the task..."

"Then I will take you to see this magnificent and strange Great Thousand World, and fight with me against the thousands of horrors!"

At the same time, Chu Minghao laughed, stood up with the sword box on his back, toasted Zhao Ji and the ministers with a cup of wine, and everyone stood up to return the salute immediately.

"Having received the Emperor's promise, I am also happy in my heart. Today I am in high spirits, so I will perform for everyone."

After speaking, Chu Minghao took a step and arrived at the entrance of the palace. Everyone stretched their necks and stared at him.

They saw Chu Minghao pat the sword box. I don't know what he did, but the scene of the black and white world was actually seen by everyone present.

Everyone couldn't move, but they could see a sword light as brilliant as the sun surging out from the sword box, disappearing into the distance in a flash, and then at the large drill ground in the distance, the earth-shattering white light poured back from the ground to the sky, as if the stars had fallen into the mortal world.

When the black and white world disappeared, Chu Minghao also disappeared from the spot, leaving only a high song echoing in Bianliang.

"... Riding the wind with the sword, eliminating demons between heaven and earth..."

"Going, going!"

There was no figure of Chu Minghao in the hall anymore.
