Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 67

"Back to the emperor, that's exactly it!" Liang Shilang put his hands on his sleeves and said, "The minister and the defense officer led the soldiers without resting for a moment, searched hard in Minhui Village, and finally found a tree under the waterfall of Yinxu Mountain to the east of the village. Under the soil of the ten-thousand-year-old tree, a god from heaven was discovered!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Shengdi sat up straight, raised his sleeves and hurriedly said: "What kind of god is it, tell me quickly!"

Liang Shilang cupped his hands and said: "I dug out an ancient thing from the soil under the ancient tree. I saw that the whole body of the ancient thing was black. I lifted it out and cleaned it for a while before removing it from the skin. On top of the engraved words, read the divine prophecy of the heavens."

After finishing speaking, Liang Shilang clapped his hands together, and the two guards behind him worked together to lift the heavy "Ancient Jia Object" to Ming Shengdi.

Ming Shengdi got up and walked forward to the thing, and leaned over to look at it with his bright yellow sleeves. He saw that the Jiagu thing was gray and black, with dense ravines on it, and traces of mud covering it could be vaguely seen.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Liang Shilang used his sleeve to wipe off the faint layer of floating soil on the surface of the ancient armor, took the clean water brought by the guard behind him and sprinkled it up a little, the clear water spread out along the direction of the gully, and in a moment there was a clearly visible typeface.

"During the Tianxu period, the demon star debuted, moved the world, and harmed the emperor. The demon star was eliminated, the emperor was safe, the demon star flourished, the emperor died, and there will be no end to the world..."

Ming Shengdi read out the above "God Prediction", his face changed from livid to pale, he looked at the three words "diwang die" above, and there was a rumble in his head, fear and coolness crawled all over his scalp.

He vaguely recalled the dream he had just had in the inner hall, the strange and ghostly voices were calling for his life, could it be that Xia Zhong was iron-blooded all his life, and he would also end up in an untimely death.

Do not!No way!

Ming Shengdi clenched his fists, the killing intent in his eyes was clearly revealed, he is the most noble and authoritative existence in this world, how could he tolerate the so-called demon star putting him to death!

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Qin Tianjian took a step forward, lowered his black gauze hat and raised his voice.

Emperor Ming suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes, sighed out of his nose, walked to the edge of the dragon chair with his hands behind his back, sat down with his robe lifted, and said, "Speak."

The oppressive atmosphere around made people shudder, Qin Tianjian shook his gray beard, held his breath and said: "Return to the emperor, I have observed the sky tonight, and I have already seen the position of this demon star from it. It still belongs to Xiaomang at the beginning, and it has not grown up, if it can be eradicated as soon as possible, it will be missing a serious problem in our heart, if we let it go, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ming Shengdi only felt the blue veins on his forehead throbbing, he didn't expect this monster star to be so fierce, and it was only a small awn at the beginning, and it has already disturbed the common people to mutate into monsters, disturbing people's panic.If it grows stronger, the world will not be allowed to overthrow it!

"Which zodiac sign did Jianzheng Aiqing observe?" Ming Shengdi said in a deep voice, almost wanting to get rid of this demon star and hurry up.

"Back to the emperor, according to the relationship between Sirius and the evil star, and then using the tortoise shell to make a divination, I roughly calculated that the evil star is hiding in the palace."

Xiao Xiazi stood aside, his expression suddenly shrinking, the demon star is hidden in the palace, this is such a big deal, if he finds out where this demon star is, he must die.

"In the imperial palace..." Ming Shengdi muttered, and suddenly laughed again, he is the master in this imperial palace, no matter where the demon star hides, he will dig it out and eradicate it in one fell swoop.

"Where is the demon star in the palace?"

Ming Shengdi said, the bloodlust in his eyes became more and more intense.

Qin Tianjian is bowing his head and said: "I can only get a rough measurement on the observatory. The reason is that although the observatory is the closest to the celestial phenomena, it lacks the energy of Zhengyang. If you want to find out the details of the demon star For the position, you need to do divination by the emperor's side, the emperor is the person with the most positive energy in the palace, and he will definitely help the humble minister to divination properly."

Ming Shengdi nodded, and then signaled that Qin Tianjian was preparing for divination.The palace servants brought him a divination table, on which the eight-treasure star sword and the compass were placed, a bowl of raw fragrant rice was placed in black pottery, and three red sticks of long-lasting incense were inserted on it.Qin Tianjian was taking out the tortoise shell and dial from his bosom, his middle finger was stained with rootless water from another black pottery bowl, and he was drawing a gossip pattern on the table.

With a creak, Xia Zijin's door was gently pushed open. Xiao Huanzi took off his black hoodie, rolled it up and stuffed it into his sleeves, and leaned over to shake Xia Zijin who was resting by the table with his eyes closed.

"Princess, the servant has found out."

Xia Zijin opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Huanzi who was leaning over to stand up, rubbed his head and said, "How is it?"

"The informant who was working in the Qianqing Palace reported that the Qintian Supervisor was doing divination in front of the imperial court and calculated the exact position of the demon star." Xiao Huanzi said firmly, "The supervisor is divining that the so-called demon star is located in the west. In the palace, it is above the second grade, facing the water, avoiding the cold, and there are objects in the palace that correspond to Jiagu. This news has not yet spread from the Qianqing Palace. I am afraid that in a short while, the emperor will order everyone in the West Palace to Gather in one place and search the palace one by one!"

Xiaokui stood aside, her face was stained with anxiety, and with the charcoal fire in her hand, she almost shook the ground with sparks.

"Princess, what should I do now..." Xiaokui put down the carbon tongs and said worriedly.

"Being close to the water, avoid the cold..." Xia Zijin bit her lips, thinking about these four words, with countless threads in her head, constantly spinning and entangled, and she was bound to weave an answer that she wanted to come up with.

Suddenly, Xia Zijin had a flash of inspiration, and said in a deep voice, "Quick, take the catalpa, and go to the kitchen stove!"

Xiaohuanzi and Xiaokui looked at each other, nodded in unison, and went down to do it. Xia Zijin pulled the cloak from the wooden frame, put it on his shoulders, and followed the two of them to the kitchen. At this moment, every second counts, and familiarity is better than familiarity. Defeat will soon be known.

In the kitchen, Xia Zijin and two people were digging under the stove. Xiaokui and Xiaohuanzi each held a handful of catalpa seeds. The people in the kitchen had already been driven out by them. The three of them were in the kitchen closely. Not to announce it, just waiting for the evil thing to show its traces.

Xiao Huanzi removed the stone slab on the stove, exposing the dry soil inside that was blackened by the smoke and grass ash.

"Let's dig it out." Xia Zijin said, she was also tense at the moment, the order of Ming Shengdi summoning the people in the West Hall to gather together and search one by one would be issued at any time, and she had to deal with everything before the order was issued.

Xiao Huanzi kept moving his hands, using catalpa to poke away the dry soil on the surface, and the slightly dark red part inside was exposed. After lightly shoveling a few times, the soil felt loose, as if it had been turned over past traces.

Xiaokui and Xiaohuanzi looked at each other, then quickened their movements and kept digging. Xia Zijin watched from the side without moving his eyes. Seeing that the red soil was sinking bit by bit, the bulge inside was exposed. corner.Xiao Huanzi and Xiaokui worked together to shovel the bulge and dug it out in a short while.

I saw that it looked the same as the big soft-shelled turtle shell under the ancient tree in Yinxu Mountain, but this one was obviously much smaller, about the size of two palms, and the lines on the back were clearly visible, but there were no engraved seal characters.

"That's it." Xia Zijin smiled with the corners of her lips curled up, and she had only put down half of the stone hanging in her heart. She held the thing in her hand and weighed it, and the weight was not light.

Concubine Yue and Xia Ziqi are probably waiting for Ming Shengdi's order to search for this thing in her palace at this moment, she just won't let them do what they want!

"Xiao Huanzi, come here now." Xia Zijin entrusted the thing to Xiao Huanzi's hands, and said in a deep voice, "Ask someone reliable to bury this thing under the stove in Qiluo Garden. Come on, we don't have much time."

Xiao Huanzi nodded solemnly, stuffed the thing into his sleeve pocket, and hurried down to do it.

Xiaokui leveled the place where the hole was dug, and then covered it with stone slabs, and then went out of the kitchen with Xia Zijin, waiting for Ming Shengdi's call.

The two walked in a hurry, but they didn't see a figure flashing past behind the window grille when they left.

In the main hall of Qianqing Palace, on top of the hall at this moment, there are women in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, all of them are young, with a faint tiredness on their foreheads.

At this time, it was close to Zi Shi, and everyone had already fallen asleep at this time of day. It was unprecedented for my son to receive a summon from Ming Shengdi to come to Qianqing Palace overnight.

"It's all ready." Xiao Xiazi murmured in a low voice next to Ming Shengdi's ear.

Ming Shengdi nodded, and swept his eyes among the crowd, a trace of heartache and anger inevitably flashed in his eyes, these delicate and beautiful women are all his blood, as royal daughters, they should have solved his problems for him , but never thought that there would be a demon star that harms the world, what a misfortune for the family!
"Father, what a big deal it is to summon us so late. My son is about to give birth now, and my eyelids are almost out of control." The tenth princess Xia Ziwan muttered flatly, a pair of almond-sized The eyes are a little listless.

The same was true for the other princesses, some of them were already rubbing their eyes, feeling sleepy.

"Princesses, please stay safe and don't be impatient." Ming Shengdi said in a deep voice, his sharp eyes swept over everyone.

"Jianzheng Aiqing and Liang Aiqing reported to me overnight about the riot in Minhui Village. Liang Aiqing found a divine omen in the village, and this omen indicated that a demon star appeared in the Dalai Dynasty. , the cholera world is safe and peaceful, and the crime should be punished!"

The unaware princesses looked at each other with curious expressions, and even their drowsiness was dispelled.

As calm as the Ninth Princess Xia Ziwu and the Fifth Princess Xia Zixun, they also frowned and became a little worried. Ming Shengdi definitely would not call them here in the middle of the night just to announce this matter, so he summoned everyone in the West Hall so violently Here, there is only one possibility, and that is to find the evil star of the cholera world among them!
