The king of Qi was simply frightened.
The national teacher is gone.
The sect elders are gone too.
They all evaporated directly from the human world without leaving any trace.
He really wanted to think that this was a mysterious and powerful man guarding the palace.
But he quickly slapped himself awake.
No matter how powerful he is, can he make a twelve-level magical powerhouse disappear without leaving any traces of the fight?
This is not a strong man, this is simply a god.
Will God protect the palace of a mortal dynasty
Won't.
What's more, there are many dynasties nowadays, but I have never heard of any real records about ghosts and gods in the world.
The strong can move mountains and seas, and killing people can be invisible due to karma.
But there are never real ghosts and gods, only powerful people.
Most of the myths circulated in ancient times just added a bit of fun to the entertainment in the streets and villages.
The king of Qi came to his senses. He ordered people to deliver medicine to Shan Xin in Tianlao. He then secretly released the guard, gave him a lot of money, and sent people to help Shan Xin stay near the capital of Qi. Buy a mansion in the city and settle down again.
After doing all this in secret, he sent his father-in-law to the Qingfeng Fifth Sect to report the "missing of Jiyun".
If the Imperial Master is missing, there is still a slight possibility that he ran away.
Then the disappearance of Elder Jiyun makes no sense at all.
This can only mean one thing, there is something wrong with the palace.
The problem lies.
have no idea.
no one knows.
…
…
"I see."
Xiao Wu suddenly touched his palm and said, "Xiao Yu must want to drink."
Hua Xiaochan was speechless, "Sister Wu, Xiaoyu is only one year old, he is still a child."
Xiao Wudao: "Then why doesn't he drink milk obediently or eat milk porridge, but just stares at the wine glass?"
Hua Xiaochan turned slightly sideways and looked at the one-year-old boy in her arms.
Xia Ji's eyes turned away and he no longer stared at the wine glass. He was just lost in thought and was staring at the jade wine glass unintentionally.
He doesn't drink milk or eat milk porridge simply because he is full.
Xiao Wu said in surprise: "He can understand what we are talking about."
Hua Xiaochan lowered her head and gently touched the boy's face: "It's so cute."
She smiled softly, and for some reason she felt much better.
To be honest, some rumors have begun to spread in the palace recently.
It is said that there is a mysterious and unfathomable monster hidden deep in the palace.
The national master and the elders were all killed by the monster.
Of course, no one dared to spread this rumor. If it came up in gossip, it would be kept secret, but no one would dare to discuss it openly.
Hua Xiaochan didn't understand what kind of monster could make the national master and elders disappear silently.
But despite her fear, she felt a little more relaxed.
At least, the people this monster killed made her feel lucky and happy.
Not just her, but probably everyone in the entire palace was happy.
As long as you don't have anything to do with them, that's a good thing.
Will it happen
no one knows.
Therefore, people in the palace became wary, especially Concubine Ya.
She was the elder's key investigation target, but the elder suddenly disappeared...
If we investigate again later, this matter will definitely not be bypassed.
Yafei was worried, and the others were also frightened.
Hua Xiaochan couldn't help hugging her son tightly. She was full of worry, fearing that her son would be involved in this turbulent storm...
The next day…
Concubine Chan took Xiao Wu and her son out of the palace and went to Mingsheng Temple in the suburbs of the country. They burned incense and worshiped Buddha devoutly, and gave up hundreds of taels of silver before asking for a consecrated longevity lock.
This lock is made of jade. The front is engraved with the pattern of "Pisces Swimming Under the Lotus", and the back is engraved with "Longevity and Longevity". It has a silver ring on the top and five-color silk threads with bells hanging on the bottom. , jingle, jingle, jingle.
Hua Xiaochan put the longevity lock on her son carefully and felt a little relieved.
The longevity lock can lock a child's life, dispel evil and avoid disasters, and help him grow up safely. Even if he doesn't know whether he can avoid the monster in the palace and the treacherous undercurrent in the dynasty sect, it can still be regarded as a Psychologically comforted.
…
…
The King of Qi reported "the disappearance of Elder Jiyun" to the sect queen.
On the contrary, the sect did not react violently.
As for why there was no response, Qi Xiu didn't know.
According to the eunuch who went to deliver the message, while he was waiting outside the sect gate, he vaguely noticed that the five Qingfeng sects seemed to be busy with something, which seemed to be a trial of alternative sect leaders resulting from the change of old and new sect masters...
Moreover, a new killing calamity has arrived, and the sect seems to be preparing for it.
The disappearance of an elder in the realm of supernatural powers has already involved a lot of power. The five Qingfeng sects have not been able to take care of this for the time being. They only sent some disciples to investigate the capital of Qi and its surroundings through trials, but they did not Intervene recklessly to avoid unnecessary losses at this critical moment.
Qi Xiu didn't know what the new killing calamity was, he only knew that a new catastrophe might be coming.
He is the emperor and knows more, but ordinary people don't even know about the killings that happen once in five hundred years.
Without the suppression of the sect, Qi Xiu began to work hard to turn his energy towards Jiangshan Sheji.
He began to carefully interrogate political affairs, review memorials, and even pay private visits incognito...
For a moment, it seemed that the killing disaster had not yet arrived.
However, Qi State began to gradually regain its prosperity and vitality, and was considered to be developing rapidly among neighboring countries.
The number of merchants coming and going has gradually increased, and even the street vendors have become more energetic. The brothels and Liuyuan, the warrior dojo, the mortal sects, etc. are also full of vitality.
Since the disappearance of the national master and the sect elders, the palace has been very stable, and there have been no similar disappearances. However, Qi Xiu also has fear hidden in his heart and does not dare to do anything ridiculous.
In the dead of night, the monarch couldn't help but feel horrified every time he thought about it. He could only attribute it to the fact that the monster hiding in the shadows probably saw that he was diligent in government affairs, so it didn't appear again.
Of course, this is entirely self-consolation.
Because that monster...
I didn't care about him at all.
The monster is already five years old, and his shoes have changed from size seventeen to size twenty-seven. He is studying in the study.
The teacher who teaches the class is Taifu.
In addition to him, there were many princes and princesses in the study room, totaling forty-six people in total, which was a considerable number...
This tutor is also a man of some character, so the seats are not arranged according to the degree of favor, but according to height.
The short ones sit in the front and the tall ones sit in the back.
Xia Ji sat in the middle, leaning against the wall.
At this time, Taifu was teaching them how to read.
He listened "very carefully" because if he learned to read earlier, he would be able to use his abilities.
As a result, he became the most diligent in studying among all the princes and princesses.
Usually after other children ran away after class, he would stay in the study room and concentrate on reading and practicing calligraphy.
So many laughing "idiots" and "nerds" said things like "Only idiots can't understand something in class and continue learning after class".
slowly…
The voice escalated again.
"Our seventeenth brother is truly worthy of his name."
"Not bad, not bad. Foolishness is a word. It's actually good and wonderful, haha."
"Stop bullying your stupid brother all the time. It's not too late before the stupid bird flies first."
"Hey, Sister Ninth, you really know how to learn and apply it."
"of course."
"If Seventeenth Brother were half as smart as Ninth Sister, he wouldn't need to study so hard."
After all the royal children had finished their studies, in the garden in the distance, through the window from a distance, you could see the prince reading seriously in the upper study room.
They escaped and went to the study in fear, where the seventeenth prince seemed to be trapped inside.
"What a freak."
"It's really weird..."
"And..." said a tall, precocious prince, "Actually, in this world, the only real way out is to enter a sect and seek the way to immortality. Studying to death is useless!"
"Ah~~ Zongmen, fourth brother, please say a few more words."
"Yes, how can I enter the sect?"
The princes and princesses ran away again.
Xia Ji took a look.
In a daze, he seemed to see several princes and princesses running in the Dashang Palace fifteen hundred years ago...
The twists and turns of right and wrong, and the grievances and grievances involved, have all gone with time.
He smiled, blankly, silently, lowered his head, and turned to the next page of the paper.
The heavy snow in late winter becomes shallower and deeper, then deeper and shallower.
Spring went and autumn came, and in a blink of an eye it was winter again, and Xia Ji was already six years old.
In the cold winter, there was no charcoal stove and no ground dragons in the study. The fragrance of plum blossoms came from the bitter cold. The Taifu still understood the truth, so he stubbornly refused to let the royal family turn the study into a greenhouse.
At this time, it is time for school to end again.
The maids all came to pick up their respective young masters and left.
But only one prince is still there.
The footprints outside the door were covered with snow again.
There is black on top of white, and white on top of black.
The candlelight in the study is still not extinguished, dancing in the heavy snow of deep winter.
The prince seemed to have forgotten himself and the time while reading.
The Taifu looked at the only child in the empty study and smiled happily. He walked over and added some oil to the ever-burning lamp.
The oil lamp made a slight crackling sound, which made Xia Ji raise his head and meet the old man's eyes.
The Taifu asked warmly: "Is there anything you don't understand about the seventeenth prince?"
Xia Ji thought for a moment, then asked a question that was "just enough to show that he was looking carefully, but not so much that the old lady couldn't answer it."
There was admiration in Taifu's eyes, and he sat across from him and patiently answered his questions.
One old and one young, one asked and the other answered.
Before long, the question and answer turned into a discussion.
The two of them actually became involved in the discussion...
In a blink of an eye, there were two more people outside the door.
Xiao Wu stood outside the door with Concubine Chan, silently looking into the study.
But the old man and the young man were so engrossed in the discussion that no one noticed them.
Concubine Chan glanced at the study room, which had long been empty, and then at her son, and suddenly rubbed her eyes.
Xiao Wudao: "What's wrong?"
"nothing… "
"You cried."
"I... I... I'm just happy to see Xiaoyu working so hard." Concubine Chan's eyes were red, but she tried her best to smile.
"oh."
Xiaowu responded, but she didn't know that the reason why Hua Xiaochan cried was not because she was happy, but because she was afraid that her son would not receive corresponding rewards despite working so hard.
Other concubines with connections are trying every means to connect their children with the sect, so that they can enter the sect when there is an opportunity in the future.
But what about her
She doesn't have this relationship.
Although the Hua family is not weak, she is just a symbolic marriage tool.
The Hua family will invest, but it will never be her, nor will it be her son.
And if the son cannot enter the sect, he will definitely be involved in the dispute over the inheritance in the future.
The so-called seizing the direct descendant means a narrow escape from death...
Even if you stay out of it, you will be implicated and die.
That's why Hua Xiaochan cried.
Mom is sorry for you...
Mom is useless and can’t give you the best...
Poor parents in the world, who doesn’t want their children to become dragons and phoenixes
The two people who were discussing in the study finally raised their heads slightly. The Taifu was a little confused and suddenly realized. The contemplative look in his eyes had not dissipated. He just felt that the child in front of him was too spiritual, right
This was simply genius, no, maybe genius wasn't the right word, because he had never seen a child with such a unique mind.
Although those thoughts were still in their infancy, how did he come up with them
Tai Tu felt like he had been taught a lesson...
Before he could say anything, the seventeenth prince in front of him had already stood up and said respectfully: "The concubine is here, I will leave first today."
The Taifu smiled and said: "Good boy, go ahead."
"Um."
Xia Ji walked out, and the longevity lock jingled softly.
The Grand Tutor suddenly shouted: "Seventeenth Prince."
Xia Ji turned his head slightly.
The Taifu said: "I am proud to have you as my student."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Foolishness is the same."
The Tutor smiled back, he was really satisfied with this student.
He watched the seventeenth prince go away.
Concubine Chan took the boy's hand, held up the oil-paper umbrella with golden plum blossoms, and walked into the snow-covered road ahead, gradually disappearing into the distance.
…
…
In the following days, Xia Ji naturally got the opportunity to enter Daqi Academy in advance because of his Taifu.
Daqi Academy is a special force in Qi State, with one hundred and eight small pavilions, seventy-two schools, and thirty-six academic palaces.
This can be said to be a hub for the country to control the world.
The teachers of Daqi Academy include well-known bachelors, famous and knowledgeable figures from all walks of life, and well-known warriors from various sects.
Any well-known Jianghu sect can hang its name on the small pavilion here, and then arrange teachers to teach.
The students taught by these teachers are naturally special.
They not only contacted the original sect, but also belonged to the imperial court.
There are more students with dual identities, which makes the relationship between the court and the world more smooth.
The hub of Da Qi Academy functioned in this way, closely connecting the Qi royal family and the world.
Of course, this is also the sect's acquiescence, so that the whole Qi State can be integrated, which will facilitate the rule of the court and their rule.
The most famous thing about Daqi Academy is that it has the richest collection of books in Qi.
Xia Ji knows this, he wants to read here.
The Taifu discussed with him for several days, and then bet on three topics.
Xia Ji won, so the Taifu guaranteed that he would leave the palace and get the opportunity to enter the Daqi Academy to read books.
Xia Ji studied, firstly to use his ability to obtain more nine-level skills, and secondly to open his eyes to see this new world clearly.
