Traveling through the apocalypse to raise a beauty
Chapter 248: Choosing Ink
Qiu Bieyi held Zhenqing's hand tightly in silence. At the last second, he saw the evil hidden in Nai Jin's eyes.
But the issue now is not to worry about these, but that they have already landed on the altar and scared a group of radiants.
The group of radiant spirits stared with wide eyes in horror at Zhen Qing and the others who appeared on the altar. When they sensed that they had bloodlines of higher level than their own, they were so scared that they collapsed to the ground and trembled. They knelt on the ground and were overwhelmed by the pressure emitted by several people and could not breathe.
In their confused minds, the Radiants accurately sensed the pressure emanating from this group of people. They were obviously nobles, especially the two with outstanding looks. The submission from the depths of their souls made them immediately confirm that they might be royal family.
But judging from the clothes and runes on their bodies, they are clearly priests. However, there are only two priests in their tribe. Where did these people come from?
Zhen Qing looked around carefully without making any expression. It was exactly the same as the empire they lived in, except that the appearance in this dimension was very obviously different from that in the outside world. He and Qiu Bieyi were gods, and they could clearly feel that the climate here was hotter than that in the outside world, and that time passed faster.
They should be in the center of the imperial city. The altar was grand and majestic. There was a wide, circular flat ground in the center of the bustling city. The floor tiles under their feet seemed to be warm jade, carved with various mysterious totems and symbols.
What was surprising was the location of the altar and the surrounding environment. They had not expected that there were various shops near such a solemn altar, with common people coming and going, and every soul seemed happy.
Their arrival broke the peace. They were overwhelmed by the pressure emitted by Zhenqing and his men. They knelt on the ground and trembled. Zhenqing fixed his eyes on the few Radiant Spirits kneeling in the front whose clothes were obviously different from those of the other Radiant Spirits around them. They seemed to be the guards guarding the altar.
Lan Yun smiled and tilted her head to greet him, "Hi?"
The guards were quite calm and analyzed Zhenqing's origins in detail. Finally, he came to the conclusion that they might be messengers sent by the sacred tree. So he trembled and adjusted his posture to kneel on the ground, "My Lord."
Gu Yuan smiled faintly. This group of people had been at the top of the pyramid since birth. The calm and noble attitude from the upper class did not need to be acted. The boy gently waved his fan upwards, "Get up."
The radiant spirits around stood up tremblingly and responded submissively.
Zhenqing waved his hand and said impatiently, "Everyone go do your own thing."
As soon as Zhen Qing finished speaking, the other radiant spirits dared to move. Then each spirit disappeared from the spot at the fastest speed in their lives, and the surroundings became completely quiet.
Wen Sheng acted domineeringly, "Hey, what's your name?"
The leading Radiant bowed and began to introduce himself, "My name is Lilawei, you can just call me 'Wei', I am the leader of the Guards."
Gu Yuan smiled and spoke to him politely and gently.
"We are the messengers sent by the mother tree. We are formed by the gathering of the sacred trees. We were born under the sacred trees. Thanks to the spirit of the sacred trees, we probably know some vague concepts, but we don't know much about everything in this world. I wonder if you can take us to see it..."
Before Gu Yuan finished speaking, two figures appeared under the altar, a man and a woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes, similar to those worn by Zhenqing and the others. The man was walking in front, and his clothes looked much more noble and gorgeous than the woman's.
Two radiating spirits walked up to the altar with indifferent expressions and looked at Zhenqing and others, as if they were observing and confirming something, examining it closely. This look made people feel a little uncomfortable but it was not malicious.
Zhenqing was not used to being looked at in such a way, he frowned slightly, his aura became stronger. The two radiating spirits sensed the pressure from the royal family, retracted the look, and greeted them neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The female radiant spirit took two steps forward and said, "Hello, my name is Yueli, and the one next to me is Zemo, a priest of the empire."
Zhenqing saw that the two had a good attitude and said calmly, "Qingyu."
Qiu Bieyi said with a cold face, "Yi Qiu."
Gu Yuan chuckled: "Yuan Sheng."
Wen Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Gu Wen."
Wei Yang: “Yin Jie.”
Lingjie responded with: "Yangli."
Lan Yun: "Mu Lan."
Mu Yao: "Yun Yun."
Qiu Bieyi's eyelids were twitching.
Zhenqing's mouth twitched. These people were just showing off their affection by naming him. He should have called him Qing Qiu if he regretted it.
After recognizing his face, Yueli retreated behind Zemo, who showed a friendly smile, found the backbone of the group opposite him, and asked softly, "You just said that you are the messengers sent by the Mother Tree. I wonder what is the purpose of your coming?"
"Ah, I don't mean anything else. The Mother Tree has rarely resonated with us over the years. We have to think more about your sudden appearance. If I have offended you, I apologize in advance."
What I mean is, how come the priests didn't know about your coming? Even if they have royal blood or above, they still can't confirm their identities. Please show me the proof.
"The mother tree has a deal with you." Zhenqing simply explained.
Ze Mo's eyes froze visibly for a moment. He knew that the only ones who had transactions with the Mother Tree were the government, the military, the six great nobles and the Emperor Spirit. This could indeed prove their identities, but his intuition told him that there was something wrong with this group of people.
Yue Li hesitated for two seconds, but still asked, "Excuse me, may I see your blood?"
Gu Yuan smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. His tone was a little cold, "You two, the God Tree sent us here to monitor and discuss cooperation. You came up and asked to see our blood and let us get hurt. Isn't this a bit too rude?"
Ze Mo shook his head gently, "Our tribe has not seen any strangers visit for many years. Now something has happened in the tribe, so we have to be vigilant. I hope you can forgive me."
Gu Yuan kept smiling and looked at Zhen Qing. When he saw Zhen Qing shaking his head, he immediately stopped smiling and turned his head away without saying anything.
Ze Mo knew that this group of people was centered around those two people. His intuition had always been accurate. There was obviously something wrong with this group of people, but the aura on their bodies could not be faked. He could not give in on this matter.
Zhenqing looked at him for two seconds. There was really nothing wrong with this spirit's attitude. If they didn't doubt him, then there would be a real problem. So he spoke up and agreed to his request.
Although they didn't know what the radiant spirit's blood looked like, Gu Yuan and the others had all undergone physical transformations in the Eye of Heaven, and their blood had long been different from that of ordinary people. The originally bright red blood now slightly leaned towards red-gold.
Not to mention Zhenqing and Qiu Bieyi, their blood of gods is mixed with divine power.
They are messengers sent by the sacred tree. The identities they gave were condensed from the sacred tree, and there would be no flaws even though their blood has different colors.
He transformed his hand into a dagger and cut a line on his palm.
"Qingqing!"
Zhen Qing shook his head gently towards them to indicate that he was fine. He clenched his fists tightly, and dark blood with a hint of gold flowed down his arms and dripped onto the ground.
At that moment, the pressure from the gods emanated along with the blood, and a blood-red light appeared on the altar. Because of the cover-up of the filthy divine power, the aura even faintly exceeded that of the royal family.
The two priests' legs went weak and they knelt down, not to mention the guards around them who were only of the middle rank. Cracks appeared on their bodies, they were spitting blood and their vision was black.
Even though Ze Mo's forehead was already covered with sweat, his back remained straight and his voice was calm and respectful.
"We misunderstood. We will immediately inform the entire clan and handle all matters for you as royal nobles. Compensation will be sent to your residence later. Please accept the pressure."
Qiu Bieyi, who was standing nearby, looked at Zhenqing's cut palm. The same pressure as Zhenqing's nailed the two spirits to the spot, and the murderous intent in his eyes almost overflowed.
The other radiant spirits fainted. Yue Li immediately said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw your pressure and do not vent your anger on other spirits. We will receive the punishment later."
Wow, this is a real priest.
Ze Mo also looked at the unconscious guards over there, and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. Most of Qiu Bieyi's pressure just now was on him, and now he couldn't even speak a complete sentence. He swallowed the iron smell in his mouth and said, "Your Majesty..."
Qiu Bieyi withdrew his pressure expressionlessly, held Zhenqing's injured hand and frantically input divine power into it to heal the wound.
Zhenqing shook Qiu Bieyi's hand to comfort him, and gave Gu Yuan a look.
The young man stepped forward and said, "You accept the punishment? As messengers, we have a rough understanding of the grading of your Radiant Spirits. The rank of a priest is above ten thousand and below one. You are also a messenger of the mother tree supported by the Radiant Spirits. How can you accept the punishment?"
Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Yue Li. He gently lifted her chin with the fan in his hand, looked her up and down condescendingly, and said jokingly, "They are just a few lowly Zhongli. If they die, they die. As a priest, you care about the people. You are unworthy of this status."
Everyone: "........" As expected of you...
The arrogant look on his face made Zhen Qing and the others want to beat him up. Sure enough, only Gu Yuan could act out this kind of arrogance and domineering attitude, looking down on everyone equally. No one could compare to him.
Zhenqing pulled Gu Yuan back, held back his smile, raised his hand to help Yueli up first, and then went to help Zemo up.
"As you said, our arrival was indeed sudden. It's normal for you two to be suspicious. Qiuqiu and the others were just worried when they saw me injured. I'm really sorry for hurting you all."
Ze Mo's face looked much better. "It's okay. You all came suddenly, and the clan didn't prepare anything. How about we go to the priest's hall to rest first?"
Gu Yuan opened the fan and turned back into his polite self, communicating with him very skillfully.
"We are new here, and the mother tree has only just condensed a short time ago. We still don't know much about the outside world, but we still know the existence of the two emperor spirits. Could you please take us to pay us an audience?"
Zemo and Yueli's mouths twitched, especially Yueli. Isn't this too different from just now? ? ?
Yueli glanced at Zemo silently, "Her Majesty the Empress is not in the Imperial City right now. She has important matters to attend to. Her Majesty Wenren is not convenient to see anyone right now. We are the ones who are in charge of the affairs now."
Zhenqing narrowed his eyes, "You can make the decision?"
Seeing that Zemo didn't say anything, Yueli began to explain, "Zemo is the queen of the empress."
Everyone: "???"
Huh? What's the situation with Xu Yun? Isn't Xia Chen Xu Yun's biological child? ! ! !
No wonder Yue Li is always half a step behind Ze Mo, and he subconsciously glances at Ling next to him when he speaks.
Gu Yuan was stunned for two seconds, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He smiled and said, "Then we are sorry. It turned out to be Her Majesty the Queen."
Zemo shook his head, "No, the envoys came here on behalf of the Mother Tree, and it is an honor for us to receive them."
Along the way, Zemo and Yueli were polite and humble, and told Zhenqing and the others a lot about the Fuling clan.
Temple of Priests.
After getting off the car, Zhenqing was stunned when he looked at the palace in front of him. Just as the Fallen Angel said, the Radiant Clan really looked like the ancient dynasty.
The imperial city is divided into two cities, the outer city and the inner city. The outer city is where Zhongli lives, and the inner city is where the priest Gaoluo lives. The priest's palace is built in the center of the outer city of the imperial city, and the surrounding area is full of ordinary spirits coming and going.
The outer city as a whole tends to be technological in texture, with the altar being the only thing that doesn't fit in with it. When they cross a barrier and enter the inner city, the noise from the outside world disappears without a trace. It can even be said that they are two extremes.
Various houses are stacked up in the middle. Unlike the prosperous outer city with a strong smell of fireworks, it is more like a comfortable residence, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
In the distance is the platinum-colored imperial palace. The complex has a unique layout, is majestic and spectacular, steep and tall, with narrow windows and sharp spires, and the carved details on the roof are exquisite.
The Priest's Temple is located next to the Imperial Palace. It is much simpler than the magnificent and majestic palace behind it, but it is also the most beautiful of the surrounding buildings. The combination of warm white and green looks gentle. There are many flowers, plants and trees around it, and it can be seen that it has been carefully maintained.
Zemo led Zhenqing and the others into the priest's hall. Along the way, many maids shouted with laughter, "Queen, Moon Priest."
Zemo and Yueli responded one by one and led them along the corridor. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw a little kid rushing towards them. He was about three or four years old, holding a toy in his hand, and looked delicate and pretty.
"Father!"
The little guy's baby voice startled everyone.
Zemo bent down and picked him up, saying softly, "Chenchen."
Then Yueli also laughed and called out, "Your Highness."
Zhenqing and the others' pupils trembled as they stared at the little radiant spirit in Zemo's arms. Don't tell me it's the morning morning! ! !
Zemo whispered a few words to the little guy, then said to Zhenqing and the others, "This is my son, his name is Zeyanchen."
"Chen in Chenxi?" Zhenqing smiled stiffly, hoping that he was wrong. Yanchen, Yanchen, Yanchen, didn't this imply something? !
"Yeah." Zemo put the child down, took the little guy by the hand and led Zhenqing and the others to the hall.
A group of people communicated politely with the two of them, and finally someone asked Zemo to go and handle the matter. Zemo gave a few instructions to the assistant beside him, then said goodbye to Yueli, Zhenqing and others.
Ze Mo: "Recently, there have been a lot of things going on in the clan, so everyone should have a good rest. In two days, I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome the arrival of several envoys. Mo Yi will take you to have a good tour of the imperial city. From now on, all matters will be taken care of by Mo Yi."
Zhenqing stood up and said, "Mother Tree sent us here just to investigate and learn about cooperation. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so we are sorry to bother you. Please go ahead and do your work."
"Okay." Ze Mo smiled at them, "Just tell Mo what you want for dinner and he will arrange it."
After Zemo and Yueli left, Mo Yi took them to the courtyard where they lived, and Zhenqing and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Bieyi put a barrier around the entire courtyard, and Mu Yao sat down on the couch. "I've been carrying this group of radiant spirits all this way. Why are they talking so flowery? I'm so tired."
Wei Yang just lay on the bed, "It doesn't matter. Aren't you curious? That child..."
Wen Sheng sucked in a breath of cold air, "I almost couldn't hold it in just now. Tina is the empress, and she is Xu Yun. Xu Yun and Xia Yi have a child named Xia Chen. Ze Mo is the empress's queen, and she also has a child named Ze Yanchen, Yanchen, and Yanchen!"
Lan Yun turned back into a little fox and jumped into Mu Yao's arms.
"If it is what we understand, it means that Zemo knows about Xia Chen's existence. He went to Yanchen, which means that Xia Chen is very likely Xu Yun's child, right?"
Gu Yuan poured a cup of tea and took a sip only after Qiu Bieyi said there was no problem.
"Judging from the layout and sophistication of the entire priest's hall, Tina and Ze Mo are clearly in love. In addition, the maids and guards also respect and like Ze Mo."
"What's more, they have a child." Mu Yao continued, "It's not that I'm speaking for Tina, I think Tina should love Ze Mo very much, so is Xia Chen Xu Yun's child?"
Qiu Bieyi: “It’s hard to say.”
Lingjie also poured a cup of tea.
"Xia Chen looks exactly like Xia Yi, so we can only say that he is Xia Yi's biological son. We have seen Xu Yun's photos, but we can't tell if he looks alike. But now it seems hard to say whether he is Xu Yun's child or not."
Lan Yun was puzzled: "Then why did you choose the name Yanchen?"
"What if his name is really just Yanchen?" Gu Yuan put down the teacup, "Wouldn't it be better if I go back and ask Xia Yi to help with a paternity test?"
"Can Ling also use paternity testing?" Wei Yang asked subconsciously.
Gu Yuan slapped him, "Otherwise? Xu Yun is a spirit, not the real person."
Wei Yang hugged his head: "Oh."
"Ah-Qing, Ah-Qing? Ah-Qing?"
Gu Yuan called out for a long time but Zhen Qing ignored him, so Qiu Bieyi reached out and squeezed Zhen Qing's hand, "Brother?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Zhenqing came back to his senses.
Qiu Bieyi: "What are you thinking about, brother?"
"I was thinking that the Radiant Spirit was possessed by someone else, so the real body must be in another dimension. Nai Jin told us that Wen Renxi was asleep. Does that mean he has also left?"
