"Is this a star pattern?"
After Zongzheng exclaimed, he stretched out his sleeves, and a ball of pure spiritual energy rushed over, trying to wash away the illusion around Zongshou.
Zong Shou originally tried his best to resist, forming seals in his hands and chanting mantras. But when it comes to the spiritual master's fighting methods, he is really far removed from this sect.
But in a moment, the illusion seemed to be broken. Zong Shou had no choice but to use magic talismans again, and summoned a cloud of mist twenty feet away from his body, blocking the sight of the people around him.
Then the fox ears and fox tail appeared in front of everyone. I lamented in my heart that my illusion skills still didn't work.
Zong Zheng could only vaguely see star patterns flashing on Zong Shou's body. But when he washed away his spiritual energy, he was completely stunned. This sect guard's spiritual cultivation has actually reached the stage of returning to Yang! The fourteen-year-old Huanyang Spirit Master!
But at this moment, what concerned him more was Zong Shou’s body.
"Sky Fox Demon Body! Your half-demon body actually didn't realize that the demon body is actually a five-tailed star pattern!"
First there was endless surprise, and then Zongzheng seemed to have realized something, and his expression became gloomy again: "Since you have awakened the demon body, why do you need to hide it and be so secretive? The so-called star pattern is the name of the emperor of my fox tribe. He is the purest bloodline of the Sky Fox clan. He was born to lead the ten clans of our Fox clan. He is the true direct descendant of our Fox clan."
Zong Shou was speechless for a while, did he still need to wear these fox ears and drag a few tails behind him, swaggering around
Looking at the expressions of the people around him, he saw that Ren Bo, Hu Qianqiu and others all had solemn and respectful expressions on their faces. Even Hu Zhongyuan didn't have the slightest bit of ridicule, but was extremely envious.
When offering sacrifices to Zong Ling, his body was like sieving chaff and his face was flushed. He wished he could bow down and worship on the spot. Only Zong Yuan had a calm expression on his face. Probably in this person's heart, no matter who Zong Shou was or what his bloodline was, he would Won't care.
Even if Zong Shou has nothing and becomes a commoner, this person will still fight to the death.
The next moment, I heard Zongzheng laugh at himself: "Before your father disappeared, there were actually signs of awakening the eight-tailed bloodline. Zongshou, your demon body has even shown star patterns. Speaking of which, you two father and son have similar bloodlines. It is purer than our so-called direct lineages. The plans of the Eight-Tailed Snow Clan this time will really come to nothing. I, the Heavenly Fox Sect, can straighten up from now on."
After a while, Zongzheng took out a book made of gold thread from his sleeve and handed it over.
"This is my experience in studying the magic and spiritual powers of Tianhu over the years. It should be of some help to you. Zong Shou, as a Huanyang spiritual master, when it comes to the spiritual seals, it is inferior to those of out-of-body It’s really too shameful to be worse than a spiritual master in other realms!”
Hearing this, Zong Shou couldn't help but feel slightly ashamed. He cursed in his heart, how could he be like this if he didn't have the orthodox spiritual master inheritance? These days, although I am using the fantasy mind mirror to hone my spiritual skills. But in just a few dozen days, how can it be effective
But he was so busy that he took the gold book and bowed solemnly. Knowing this Zongzheng is tantamount to entrusting the inheritance of one's mantle to oneself.
He always had great respect for this old man. I thought that my mentality was really quite utilitarian. If you can help yourself, you are a good person. Anyone who dares to stand in his way is scum and should be thrown into the garbage heap.
He actually didn't know what kind of temperament this Zongzheng had until now. He only knew that this person was indeed very concerned about the rise and fall of the Zong clan and was sincere.
Just as he was about to express his thanks, Zongzheng said coldly: "You don't need to thank me, I just don't want to see you lose the face of my Tianhu clan!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, left the group of people behind, and left far away.
Zong Shou frowned slightly and then laughed dumbly. Put the golden book into the Qiankun bag, and then formed the hand seals to hide his demonic body in the illusion again.
Zong Ling frowned for a while and said in confusion: "Your Highness actually does not need to hide it. If you know that Your Highness is aware of the five-tailed star pattern, I will not only protect the heart of my Tianhu clan, but also the entire Qiantian Mountain." It will lift people’s hearts.”
Zong Shou was speechless for a while. Chuxue Ruoshui had mentioned before that this star-patterned monster body actually represented the Tianhu orthodoxy and had great authority.
But probably his mentality is still that of the purest human being, and this demon body is still a bit unacceptable. If it is not necessary, I really don’t want to show it to others.
Without answering, Zong Shou walked directly into the Tiegang Hall. Almost immediately, he felt a strong force coming, and both his true energy and soul power were suppressed below the fourth level.
Even the illusion that Zong Shou had just performed was shaking and almost falling apart.
Fortunately, he was already prepared for this, and this illusion method was specially researched and strengthened. After a while, it stabilized again.
The level of spiritual magic was suppressed to the third level. However, when everyone here enters here, their spiritual senses and five senses are also suppressed, so there is no need to pay much attention.
The entire meeting hall was built according to Zong Shou's drawings. It is an arched building with a main hall, ten side halls, and hundreds of rooms. It is more than ten times larger than the Tiegang Hall in Xuanshan City. This is also because Qian Tianshan has a lot of money to build it so quickly.
Inside the main hall, the terrain is low on the inside and high on the outside. The deepest part is a pulpit, and the outer edges are rows of seats. At a rough count, there are actually 800 seats.
At this moment, there is a crowd, and Qiantian Mountain has a population of nearly 100 million under its direct jurisdiction. Except for some people, they are not qualified to participate in the election. There were more than five hundred people present in this huge meeting hall. Only about 400 people were elected by the people, but about one-fifth of the rest were appointed by Zong Shou himself.
However, most of them were waiting with blank expressions, some were looking forward to it, and some were bored. He only knew that he was selected as a "counselor" to supervise the pension bank and the loans. But he didn't know why Zong Shou summoned them here in a hurry.
When Zong Shou walked in, everyone bowed down and bowed, but Zong Shou ignored them and walked directly to the throne behind the big podium and sat down on the throne. As for Hu Qianqiu, Chai Yuan and others, they actually have seats in this meeting hall.
There are additional provisions in Zong Shou's decree that those holding public office are not allowed to run for election. They, the heads of large clans, only have titles and titles but no positions, so they can naturally participate. The two of them and Lingxuan almost instinctively realized that there might be something mysterious about Zong Shou's move. Therefore, although they were doubtful, they actively participated in the matter and each took a consulting position.
Zong Shou finally spoke when silence returned to the hall.
"Gu Zhao, you are here to discuss several political matters. Now we have Prime Minister Ren Bo, who is very senior and highly respected, and is very knowledgeable about government affairs. In the next five years, I want to appoint him as our prime minister, but he has no regard for what I have done." Regarding political affairs, who of you agrees and who opposes it?"
Everyone in the hall immediately looked at each other, and the confusion in their eyes became even more intense. Confused, no one knew what Zong Shou meant.
Even Ren Bo on the side was also stunned.
It wasn't until half a quarter of an hour later that Zong Shou took another small hammer and struck it hard on the small golden clock next to his seat with a bang.
"No one says anything, so it's passed. Well, I forgot to mention it. From now on, if you agree, you can raise your hands, and if you disagree, you can slap the table. Half of them pass, if not, it will be invalid."
Before anyone could react, Zong Shou waved his sleeves, and a group of waiters came out and distributed the animal skins one by one to everyone in the hall.
"Previously, Gu Zao had a decree to implement the system of six cabinet ministries. This is the choice of the six cabinet ministries and nine ministers proposed by the prime minister. You can take a closer look."
The people in the palace still didn't understand the situation, thinking that since it was the person recommended by the Prime Minister, it probably made sense. The Prime Minister is highly virtuous and highly respected, and he can definitely do no wrong. At that moment, everyone raised their hands. Some people did not even take a closer look, but raised their hands like Hu Qianqiu and others. However, they were almost keenly aware that there were no candidates from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Military Affairs in the list, and the Ministry of Punishment was also changed to to the Ministry of Commerce.
Before the turmoil in Ren Bo's heart calmed down, another violent wave arose. It turns out that Zong Shou was not dissatisfied with him that day in Hongcheng, but wanted to wait until today.
But what is Zong Shou’s intention in acting like this
After another half a moment, Zong Shou tied him up again and rang the small bell.
"Four hundred and twenty-two people raised their hands. That means it's passed. Let's discuss next year's budget. In short, it means how to spend the money earned next year."
This time, without Zong Shou's signal, the waiters had already handed the animal skins to everyone. Then they all looked away. Ren Bo's so-called 'budget' required eight million level four beast crystals. This was a good thing and made people envious.
This time, they all raised their hands without waiting for Zong Shou to ask. They were afraid that their superiors would not see them, so they naturally passed without any suspense.
Zong Shou also smiled slightly, with a malicious look in his eyes: "Then the fourth motion is Gu Yu's legislation. In the cities under our direct jurisdiction in Qiantian, all private soldiers should be dismissed. Who among you is in favor and who is against?"
Many councilors in the hall subconsciously raised their hands. A moment later, Chai Yuan, Ling Xuan and others suddenly reacted and slapped the table in front of them with a loud bang.
The tiger Qianqiu stood up, his eyes were fierce and threatening, and he glanced at everyone in the hall. I will follow anyone who dares to agree.
Zong Shou immediately snorted coldly when he saw this: "I will add another decree. All the senators will be protected by Qian Tianshan for life. If there is any unexpected event, they will fight to the death!"
Hu Qianqiu's lips twitched and he could only sit down helplessly. There are many people in this palace who are not afraid of the power of these powerful families. After Zong Shou finished speaking, many people raised their hands again.
Unfortunately, in the end, there was still less than half. Even the counselors from Tianhu’s own clan were mostly disapproving.
Zong Shou was not surprised and shook his head regretfully: "Two hundred and thirty-four people, less than half, this case is invalidated!"
Another sound of 'tying up' rang the little bell. At this moment, there were already less than half of the people in this huge hall, looking back with thoughtful eyes.
Zong Shou also smiled slightly, thinking that after doing this, although he could not let go yet, he could rest assured that he would be able to spare most of his time to study martial arts. (To be continued
