Chapter 643 Taizu Spirit Pagoda! Fortune Telling in the Middle of the Night
Entering Anyang Palace, Concubine Chen dismissed everyone, leaving only Zhou Dao and his confidant eunuchs.
"Master Xiao Zhou, is Xiao Thirteen important?" Concubine Chen asked again.
Her mother was poor and her son was rich. In this palace as deep as the ocean, the Thirteenth Prince was her entire support and hope.
If Emperor Qin has an accident in the future, she will still have someone to rely on. According to the regulations of this dynasty, any concubine with children can accompany the prince out of the palace to support him until his death.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, your Highness is fine. I will come to the palace from time to time to take care of you these days."
Zhou Dao fed Concubine Chen to take a reassuring pill.
"That's good."
Concubine Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Inside the curtain, she played with the small gourd in her hand. The gourd was engraved with the word "Xuan".
"After all, Mr. Xiao Zhou is not an outsider. From now on, Xiao Shisan will be entrusted to you."
Concubine Chen's voice was extremely soft.
"Actually, when His Majesty named you [Young Master Zongbao], he originally wanted you to be Little Thirteen's first teacher."
"Among the many princes today, this little guy is the only one who has not yet undergone the initiation ceremony."
"The opening ceremony?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but ask.
This was the first time he heard this word.
"This is a royal etiquette. When the prince reaches the age of six, he will enter the Taizu Pagoda for the initiation ceremony." Concubine Chen's eyes flashed with worry.
"What is the Taizu Spirit Pagoda?"
"That is a spiritual pagoda left behind by the great ancestor of the Qin Dynasty when he founded the country. All members of the royal family of the Qin Dynasty must enter the spiritual pagoda when they are six years old and receive initiation from their ancestors and gain enlightenment..." Concubine Chen whispered.
"This can be regarded as a kind of ancestral shadow."
Taizu Pagoda is an exclusive benefit for the direct royal bloodline, and any prince will have a chance to enter it.
Just like the fifth prince, it is said that when he was enlightened at the age of six, he just had a dream in the [Taizu Pagoda].
"A dream!?" Zhou Dao was stunned and asked.
"Yes, it's just a dream." Concubine Chen nodded.
"It is said that in a dream, the fifth prince went to a blue planet, where there were steel buildings everywhere, and there were all kinds of weird things..."
"Huh!?" Zhou Dao's eyes dropped slightly, showing a strange expression.
"Although the details are unknown, it is said that because of this dream, the fifth prince was inspired by the Grand Ancestor of Qin. He is also the first among your majesty's many princes to enter the Tao realm."
"Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, is a powerful Taoist!?" Zhou Dao asked.
Emperor Qin had nine sons, except for Lao Jiu and Lao Thirteen.
Back then, he and the Seventh Prince formed a rift because of the Great Qin Dragon Qi and the Shanhai Banquet.
Before, there was some trouble with the Sixth Prince because of the affairs of the Daomen Law Enforcement Team.
Although these two princes are both good, they seem a little underwhelming in front of Zhou Dao.
"Master Xiao Zhou, you don't know. Three thousand years ago, Taizu of the Great Qin Dynasty was known as the best master in the world. He conquered the sea and determined the world. How powerful is his bloodline?"
"The way of heaven is vast and the yin and yang are balanced. Since strong men spread in the world, they will naturally be restrained by heaven."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that the bloodline of the Great Qin royal family has been imprisoned?" Zhou Dao's heart moved. Such a secret is of great importance.
Concubine Chen nodded: "Since we enjoy the supreme position of the country, how can we be infected with the magic power of heaven again?"
"Because of this, it is much more difficult for royal disciples to practice than others, but once they break into the Tao realm and the imprisonment is lifted, the power of the Taizu hidden in the bloodline will awaken."
"Fifth Prince!?" Zhou Dao's heart moved.
In this way, isn't it true that the fifth prince who has entered the Tao realm is very different from the other princes?
"The bloodline of Taizu is no small matter." Concubine Chen said in a condensed voice.
"In this way, His Highness the Fifth Prince is truly blessed." Zhou Dao couldn't help but say.
Taizu of the Great Qin Dynasty is known as the best master in three thousand years. Is his bloodline a child's play?
"I wonder what kind of opportunity Lao Jiu got." Zhou Dao's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the Ninth Prince.
"So, the initiation ceremony is very important for any prince." Concubine Chen said.
"What do you need me to do?" Zhou Dao asked.
"I would like to ask Mr. Xiao Zhou to guard the gate for the Thirteen Guardians."
"Guarding the road and guarding the gate? Is it possible that this initiation ceremony is dangerous?" Zhou Dao asked curiously.
"Taizu Spirit Pagoda, when we succeed, there will be a demonic calamity, the sky will be filled with fog, and monsters will be rampant..." Concubine Chen frowned slightly.
This was the main reason why she summoned Zhou Dao.
Everyone said that when Taizu of the Qin Dynasty conquered the world, although he unified the country, he killed too much, so he brought bad luck.
"Demon disaster?" Zhou Dao thought thoughtfully.
"Back then, the second prince failed to withstand the disaster and died in front of the Taizu Pagoda." Concubine Chen looked worried.
She had high hopes for the Thirteenth Prince.
"I understand, don't worry, Madam, I will protect your Highness." Zhou Dao stood up and said.
Although the Thirteenth Prince did not really become a disciple of the Sunset Sect, he had the title of master and disciple with him after all, and he naturally shouldered the responsibility of protecting the Tao.
"I know that although Mr. Xiao Zhou has entered the Taoist realm, he has not yet condensed the Dharma Seal. If this happens, I will definitely find the Taoist Protector Spirit Treasure for Mr. Xiao Zhou." Concubine Chen made a promise.
"Dao-protecting spirit treasure!?" Zhou Dao's eyes lit up.
This kind of treasure can resist the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent, restore life, and save life at critical moments.
When Li Zangfeng condensed the seal, he consumed five spiritual treasures to protect the soul, otherwise he might not be able to survive.
"Thank you, empress." Zhou Dao felt happy.
If he can really obtain a protective spiritual treasure, his success rate in condensing the seal will be greatly improved.
Zhou Dao knew very well that this was his fate. His magical power was too strong, Hunyuan entered the Dharma realm, and he possessed the magical power of the setting sun. He restrained the lineage of Yuanzu. Once he condensed the Dharma seal, he was afraid that the heaven and earth would change, causing disaster and ominous disaster.
He expected that this catastrophe would be no small matter, and maybe those hidden enemies would take action.
As a result, Zhou Dao must be fully prepared.
Zhou Dao and Concubine Chen exchanged greetings and then stood up to leave.
"Boy, Taizu Spirit Pagoda is such a good thing."
Before leaving Anyang Palace, the voice of Earth King Shituo sounded in his mind.
"You know?" Zhou Daoqi asked.
"I have to do this job even if my legs are broken." Earth King Shituo's voice was a little excited.
"If that kid succeeds in getting out of seclusion, a lot of Great Qin Dragon Qi will flow out of him."
"Great Qin Dragon Qi!?" Zhou Dao's eyes lit up.
The Great Qin Dragon Qi is the place where the dragon veins of the world meet. A true dragon that has only been cultivated by Shen Yun for thousands of years has been occupied by the Great Qin royal family.
This kind of power has the ability to create the universe, seize the opportunity of heaven and earth, and is almost omnipotent. It can be called the treasure that ascetics dream of.
At the beginning, Zhou Dao had two major dharma lines: King Yuan and Nielong.
The Yuan Wang Dharma lineage relied on the Dragon Qi of Great Qin to transform and enter the true realm.
Zhou Dao, who has tasted the sweetness, naturally does not need to elaborate on it.
At this moment, his heart was already restless.
"With the help of the Great Qin Dragon Qi, the certainty of condensing the seal will be even greater." Zhou Dao's eyes became intense.
Even if Concubine Chen found a spiritual treasure to protect him, Zhou Dao would only be 10% sure of condensing the seal.
But if he obtains the Great Qin Dragon Qi, his certainty can be increased to 40%.
"As a teacher, it is your duty to protect your students."
Zhou Dao felt great righteousness in his heart.
"I just admire your face." Earth King Shituo said with a strange smile.
Walking out of the gate of Anyang Palace, a figure jumped out from the side of the palace wall.
Zhou Dao stopped to look and saw the young eunuch he had just rescued - Gao Li.
"Benefactor."
"Are you waiting for me?" Zhou Dao asked.
Gao Li nodded, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed three times. By the time he finished kowtowing, his forehead became red and swollen.
"My benefactor is a great kindness. I have no way to repay you. I can only remember it in my heart and pay it back in all my lifetimes."
"You little thing, you do have a loyal heart."
Zhou Dao saw it, but it was extremely pleasing to his eyes.
Buzz…
As soon as he pointed it out, the mysterious runes seemed to flow and disappeared into Gao Li's mind.
Suddenly, Gao Li's little face turned pale, he covered his head, as if he was going to explode, and a massive amount of information came in like a tide.
"I will teach you some techniques so that you can practice well and serve your little highness well."
What Zhou Dao had just taught Gao Li was the Taoism of Longhu Mountain.
After all, he has already reached that level in Longhu Mountain, so he naturally knows some tricks of entering the law.
"The Immortal's method?" Gao Li was surprised and happy when he heard this. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed heavily several times.
"Okay, stop knocking. The Dharma door is right in front of you. Whether you can enter or not depends on your own destiny."
Zhou Dao casually formed a good relationship, turned around and left.
Gao Li watched Zhou Daoyuan go and bowed deeply again, his eyes full of gratitude.
It was precisely because of Zhou Dao's appearance that his life's destiny changed.
"Brother Gao Li, I heard that you have great luck and have been given the job of serving His Highness. Congratulations."
"As long as you are rich and noble, don't forget each other. Don't forget us two brothers in the future."
At this moment, two slightly older eunuchs came out of nowhere and hooked their shoulders to Gao Li with flattering looks on their faces.
Being able to become His Royal Highness's personal attendant is like a step to the top for eunuchs like them.
In the future, when the prince leaves the palace and builds a mansion, they can also follow him out. If they do well, they may even be able to go out and start a family.
With such a promising future, the two brothers naturally wanted to curry favor with this little eunuch who they usually looked down upon.
"Get away!"
A cold voice sounded in the ears of the two brothers. They were startled, as if they didn't hear clearly, and they didn't recover.
The little eunuch who was usually submissive, cleaning their toilets every day, and being bullied into not even farting... actually told them to get out of here! ?
"Do you really think I'm a fool?"
Gao Li's voice became cold and cold, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his slightly condensed eyes.
"I have always been a man who repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. You bullied me, one by one, but I still remember them all."
Gao Li shook off the two people's hooked shoulders, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and revealed a cold smile.
"Just wait, you two brothers will die."
As he spoke, Gao Li walked into Anyang Palace without even looking.
The moment he stepped into the palace gate, he put away his fierce eyes, became submissive and quiet, and corrected himself as a slave.
…
In the evening, Jiangnan Villa.
This is a house owned by the fifth prince. It is located on the outskirts of Nancheng, next to Lengxiang Mountain and next to the Liujin River. It is in a quiet location and has an elegant environment.
"Jiankui, I heard that you met Mr. Xiao Zhou in the palace today?"
In the pavilion, incense is lingering, and among the green silk curtains, a young man wearing a python robe appears, his movements are quite noble.
"I've seen it before."
"How?" the fifth prince asked.
"Although he has a sharp edge, he still needs to sharpen it." Chen Daoling thought for a while and gave an eight-word comment.
"Jian Kui's vision is still as high as ever." The fifth prince chuckled and said, "Father seems to be very fond of this little Lord Zhou and has given him a high evaluation."
"Your Majesty has the heart to tolerate the world." Chen Daoling gave an explanation.
"Yes, but I see that Mr. Xiao Zhou is favored now and has a bright future... My younger brother's life is really not that good."
The fifth prince's tone became much calmer.
"Your Highness is joking. He has a bright future. I don't think so. Condensing the seal is a hurdle that he cannot overcome. Once his body dies and his Tao is destroyed, everything will be in vain... As for His Highness Thirteenth..."
"If we really choose this King Yuan to protect the Tao, I'm afraid it will be burdened by his reputation."
The words stopped here, and there was a sudden silence in the pavilion.
"What Jian Kui means is that someone will mess up my brother's initiation ceremony?"
"Who knows?" Chen Daoling was noncommittal.
"If this is really the case, then I really need to take good care of my little brother." The voice of the fifth prince sounded faintly, like the cliffs of a high mountain, and could not be traced.
Prince Yuan has made too many enemies. If he protects the thirteenth prince, who can guarantee that nothing will happen to him?
It is inevitable if the young Thirteenth Prince is implicated.
"Prince Yuan, after all, his reputation is too great." The fifth prince whispered.
"Your Highness thinks too highly of this person."
At this moment, a young man carrying an ancient bronze sword beside him finally couldn't sit still anymore. He snorted coldly, and a layer of misty power appeared around him, which turned out to be majestic magic power.
"Don't lie in front of His Highness." Chen Daoling raised his eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter." The fifth prince smiled: "Jian Kui, your disciple has entered the Taoist realm at a young age. In terms of talent, he is not inferior to King Yuan."
"Your Highness is ridiculous." Chen Daoling was noncommittal.
"Master, even His Highness has said so. Why don't you let me go and meet this King Yuan to see if his arrogance is as arrogant as the rumors say?" Jiang Ao sneered.
He is now also a strong man in the magic realm. He has also never condensed the magic seal. In terms of realm, he is the same as Zhou Dao.
Jiang Ao asked himself that no one in the same realm could be his opponent.
"Arrogant." Chen Daoling snorted coldly.
He knew best how his little disciple could step into the Tao realm.
In order to allow him to cultivate boundless magic power, Chen Daoling traveled all over the world and just found traces of the supreme being and received the gift.
"Master..." Jiang Ao felt dissatisfied.
He stepped into the Tao realm with high spirits and was looking for an opportunity to become famous in the world. In his eyes, King Yuan was a good stepping stone.
"Still not retreating?" Chen Daoling shouted coldly.
Jiang Ao gritted his silver teeth and retreated to the side unwillingly.
"Jian Kui is really a strict master."
"He's not hot enough and needs to be sharpened."
Chen Daoling whispered, Zhou Dao's figure appeared in his mind.
That is a sword that has been tempered.
…
It was late at night, Zhou Dao left the palace gate and had dinner with Jiang Yuan at Xiankeju.
The two of them had a pot of apricot wine, a plate of braised beef, a bowl of Bazhen braised pork, a plate of crispy pork slices, and a portion of vegetable and green pearl sugar. After having enough wine and food, they returned to the Yuyao Division.
"Brother, I heard from Mr. Souji that you are ready to condense the seals?"
On the way back, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's time to start preparing." Zhou Dao nodded.
Condensing the Dharma Seal is a major disaster of life and death. Naturally, we must be fully prepared and use all available means.
"Master, do you want your fortune told?"
At this moment, a light voice sounded under the moonlit night, blocking Zhou Dao's way.
