Prophet Continuation 3
On the second day after Qu Feng got married, Qu Cang asked Qu Taijun and the others to pack up and go back to Jidihou's mansion. He didn't want them to stay for a day. If it wasn't for Yanhao himself and Miaochen to persuade him, he would have Qu Feng will not be allowed to marry from the General's Mansion.
Mrs. Qu and the others originally planned to stay in the market place after Donglai Festival, but Qu Cang drove them away immediately. If they didn't leave voluntarily, they would let people pack their things for them and send them away by force. . Mrs. Qu and the others could only leave the general's mansion with a full stomach.
A few days later, it will be the Donglai Festival. Donglai Festival is the most important festival in the Donglai Kingdom. The festival lasts for fifteen days. During these fifteen days, the people will worship the gods and ancestors, and during the day and There will be various lively activities in the evening.
On the first day of the Dongrae Festival, worship the heaven, earth and gods, and on the second day, worship the ancestors. On the third day, all the wives and young ladies of the officials in the capital will go to the spiritual temple to pray for blessings.
Tao Yuan got up early that day, ready to go to the Temple of Spiritual Practice with Qu Cang and Miaochen to pray for blessings. Every year when the original owner arrives at this time, his body is very weak, so he can't go. This year, because Tao Yuan traveled through time and inspired the power of the Holy Spirit hidden in the original owner, his body has fully healed, and Qu Cang and his wife are very happy . And Tao Yuan has a very important reason, he must go to the Temple of Spiritual Practice today.
Tao Yuan was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the maid was helping him comb his hair. He remembered that he was stabbed and kicked in the stomach as soon as he came to this world, and he couldn't help feeling angry. Tao Yuan touched his stomach, thinking that this was the first time he had personally experienced such a thing, and he dared to kick him. If those people hadn't died so quickly, he would have tortured them severely.
The original owner is usually in good health, but every year during these few days, his body becomes very weak. Qu Cang invited many doctors but they couldn't diagnose the cause. He could only be sent to live with an anonymous genius doctor for a few days every year. In order not to show off and attract attention, Qu Cang asked soldiers to disguise themselves as domestic servants to protect him. Every year, I go and return safely, but this time, someone specially sent people to ambush on the road in order to kill the original owner.
Those who killed the original owner all committed suicide because they did not want to fall into Lei Yuan's hands. And the person who instructed them was the former owner's husband in the previous life, Yanwu King Yanhao. In the past, when the original owner went to the genius doctor every year, either Qu Cang or Miaochen would send him there, but this year, because of Yanhao's plan, both of them got stuck and had to send someone to escort the original owner.
The hatred between the two lives, how painful the soul of the original owner must be, Tao Yuan could not feel it deeply if it was not him himself. But he will definitely help him repay the revenge he deserves.
After combing her hair, Tao Yuan got up and went to the yard of Miaochen and Qucang, and went out with them.
In today's capital, almost all the princes and officials will take their families to the spiritual temple to pray for blessings.
And the most noble ones are the three Martial Kings and the two Eldest Princesses. Because these two princesses were not born to the same mother, they had been at odds since they were young. After marrying King Lei Wu and King Yan Wu respectively, they fought fiercely for the rights of their husbands' families. Not only do they fight for power, but they are unwilling to be compared with each other in any other aspects.
The Temple of Xiuling is the largest temple in Donglai Kingdom. If the total area is added up, it is one-third the size of the imperial palace. The main hall enshrines the legendary god who created the Spiritual Continent. After praying devoutly in front of the god, you will go to the god pool in the back hall to get a small bottle of water and take it home for a bath. It is said that it can wash away bad luck.
Qu Feng is now the king of Yanwu. With this noble status, he can pray to God with Princess Jiade and Yanhao. While waiting for the door to open outside the main hall, Qu Feng looked back at Tao Yuan with arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
Tao Yuan looked at him, and his eyes were full of contempt.
Seeing Tao Yuan's eyes, Qu Feng sneered angrily, thinking that he is already a king now, and Tao Yuan dared to look at him with contemptuous eyes. In this life, after Yan Hao finished using Qu Cang, he will make him pay the price for the enmity in the past and present life.
And when Tao Yuan looked at Qu Feng, what he thought in his heart was that the pride of your previous life and this life, Qu Feng, are all up to today.
Lei Yuan knew that Tao Yuan was standing not far behind, so he couldn't help but look back at him. After Tao Yuan met his gaze, he looked away in embarrassment.
Lei Yuan wanted to see if his health was better, seeing his rosy complexion and looking very good, he felt inexplicably relieved at last.
After the gate of the main hall was opened, the three kings of Wu, the two eldest princesses and the two princes went in first to pray for blessings. After they finished praying, it was the turn of the officials behind to enter according to their rank.
Qu Feng knelt in front of the statue and thought, in his previous life, he never dreamed that he, Yanhao and their children would die in Qu Yun's hands, and they still don't know how Qu Yun did it. In this life, he must take revenge and trample Qu Yun under his feet.
Qu Feng prayed to God very earnestly, but what he didn't know was that even if God heard his prayer, he would never stand by his side. Because after Tao Yuan traveled to this world, there was no god who would dare to help him against Tao Yuan.
After Qu Feng got up, he followed Yan Hao and the others to the main hall behind.
Tao Yuan followed Miaochen, and after the people in front finished praying, he entered the hall with other officials and prayed in front of the gods. Tao Yuan closed his eyes and put his palms together, but he couldn't think of what he was going to pray for. Safety? healthy? He can do all these things with the help of the system, so he doesn't need to pray to God, just pray so that Miaochen and Qucang will be safe and healthy.
Tao Yuan raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the tall statue. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He seemed to feel the statue shaking just now. It must be an illusion, Tao Yuan thought to himself, even if God really descended today, why is he shaking
Tao Yuan stood up and walked towards the apse together with Qu Cang and Miaochen.
In the middle of the Shenchi in the back hall, a fist-sized Lingzhu is supported by a white jade lotus. This Lingzhu is usually kept in the water of the Shenchi, and its function is to test the level of spiritual power.
Tao Yuan had already seen the spirit bead from a long distance away. As he walked in, he counted his steps and estimated the distance in his heart.
Tao Yuan was getting closer and closer to the Shenchi, and he kept staring at the Lingzhu. Before he was completely close to the Shenchi, the Lingzhu had already started to glow faintly. , were all stunned in doubt. As soon as Tao Yuan stood on the edge of Shenchi, the pearl immediately emitted a dazzling white light, which made people unable to open their eyes.
Tao Yuan stepped back a few steps before the dazzling white light disappeared, while the Lingzhu was still faintly glowing.
The others were stunned, not knowing what happened just now, the three Martial Kings and the two Eldest Princesses all turned their heads to look at the spirit bead.
The national teacher, who was talking to Princess Yunyang, walked quickly to the edge of the Shenchi, looked at the flashing Lingzhu, opened his eyes and said excitedly, "The body of the Holy Spirit, the body of the Holy Spirit has appeared!"
As soon as Princess Yunyang heard the words "body of the holy spirit", her heartbeat immediately accelerated. She excitedly walked to the edge of the god's pool, and then opened her eyes wide to see everyone by the edge of the god's pool.
Princess Jiade and Yanhao were originally planning to leave, but the dazzling light just now made them stunned for a while. After hearing the words of the Holy Spirit Body from the national teacher, their hearts immediately raised their hearts, and then they also He walked quickly to the edge of Shenchi.
Because there were more than a dozen people standing by the lake, Princess Yunyang really couldn't tell who was the body of the holy spirit, so she could only turn her head to look at the national teacher, and asked eagerly, "National teacher, who is the holy spirit among them?" Body?!"
Only Lei Yuan kept looking at Tao Yuan, and after the national teacher said the words "body of the holy spirit", he was almost certain that it was Tao Yuan. Because he had personally seen Tao Yuan use spiritual power to heal wounds. Before that, he had never seen or heard that spiritual power could heal wounds.
And the most important thing is, although there are still several unmarried young men and young ladies standing by the side of Shenchi, Lei Yuan feels that if the body of the holy spirit is among them, he hopes that person will be Tao Yuan, even his I can't even say why he thinks this way.
"Princess, don't worry. According to ancient books, only when the body of the Holy Spirit is approaching, you don't need to put your hands on it, the spirit beads will also emit a dazzling light. Just let them approach each other and try to determine who is the body of the Holy Spirit." body." The national teacher can't directly judge which of them is the body of the Holy Spirit, but there is a fairly simple way to judge.
"Everyone, please step back a little bit more." The national teacher said to all the people who were still standing by the pool of gods.
Although those people didn't know why and looked puzzled, they all took a few steps back according to the words of the national teacher. Tao Yuan and Miaochen also backed away a little more, and Miaochen was also full of doubts, but when he turned his head to look at Tao Yuan, he suddenly had a contradictory feeling that he understood something but didn't quite understand it.
"Please come forward one by one according to the order in which you are standing now." The national teacher looked at Tao Yuan who was standing on the farthest side and said, "This Xiaolang invites you first."
Tao Yuan stepped forward according to the words of the national teacher. As soon as he stood still on the edge of the Shenchi, the Lingzhu immediately emitted a dazzling light again. Tao Yuan stepped back a few more steps, and the light disappeared immediately.
Princess Yunyang strode up to Tao Yuan, held Tao Yuan's hand excitedly, looked Tao Yuan up and down several times, then turned to look at the national teacher and asked, "Is that him?!"
The national teacher was sure that it was Tao Yuan, but for the sake of caution, he said to the others, "Please come forward together."
Everyone except Tao Yuan stood still by the edge of the Shenchi, but the Lingzhu didn't shine brightly like when Tao Yuan approached.
"This is the once-in-a-thousand-year body of the Holy Spirit." The national teacher said to Princess Yunyang with certainty.
Princess Yunyang was so excited that her hands were trembling. She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, looked at Tao Yuan seriously, and asked, "Whose family are you Xiaolang? Are you married?"
Tao Yuan showed a look of bewilderment, then looked at Qu Cang and Miaochen, "Father, Dad."
Princess Yunyang followed Tao Yuan's line of sight, because she was too impatient and excited just now, she couldn't see other people in her eyes, so she saw Qu Cang and Miaochen.
"General Qu, is this your little man?" Princess Yunyang looked at Qu Cang and asked.
"Yes." Qu Cang nodded, he knew what the body of the Holy Spirit was, so he was still shocked that Tao Yuan was actually the body of the Holy Spirit.
"General Qu, Mr. Qu Lang, I wonder if I can go back to the palace with me? I have something important to discuss with you." Grand Duke Yunyang said while looking at Qu Cang and Miaochen with a smile.
"This..." Qu Cang was a little hesitant, because he had already guessed what the eldest princess Yunyang wanted to discuss with him.
"Didn't you see that people don't want it?" Princess Jiade strode over and interrupted Princess Yunyang, "I'm afraid it's not good for you to force others to make things difficult for you."
Princess Yunyang turned to look at Princess Jiade, the smile on her face had disappeared, she looked at her coldly and said, "I didn't talk to you, it's not your turn to intervene."
"Hmph," Princess Jiade said with a cold snort, "Do you think I want to talk to you? It's just that I don't like how you push others hard, so I just speak up."
Elder Princess Jiade looked at Qu Cang and Miaochen again and said, "General Qu, Mr. Qu Lang, you should go back to your residence first. With my palace here, no one will stop you."
Princess Yunyang slashed Princess Jiade with her eyes like a knife, then looked at Qu Cang and said, "General Qu, don't get me wrong, this palace is sincerely hosting a banquet, and I want to invite you husband and wife to the palace as guests."
Qu Cang already had a plan in mind, and immediately said respectfully, "Princess Xie for the invitation, please wait for my husband and wife to go home and make some preparations before going to the palace for the banquet."
"Okay," Princess Yunyang said with a smile, "Then I will go back to the palace first, and wait for you and my husband to come."
"Yes, then let's take our leave first." After saluting to Princess Yunyang, Qu Cang turned and took Tao Yuan and Miaochen's hands and left.
Tao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Lei Yuan, Lei Yuan was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two met again, as if holding a silk thread, continuously.
After Princess Yunyang watched them leave, she turned to look at Princess Jiade and snorted coldly, then walked to Lei Yuan's side and said a few words, and the two left with them. The body of the holy spirit, which they had been searching for for many years, finally appeared, and they had to go back to discuss how to persuade Mrs. Qucang to agree to marry Tao Yuan to Lei Yuan.
Princess Jiade also gave Princess Yunyang a hard look, and then she felt extremely worried. After she exchanged glances with Yanhao, she immediately brought her back to Yanwu Palace, and hurried back to discuss countermeasures. Yan Hao tightly clenched his fists, he never thought that the Lord he married in his previous life would actually be the body of the Holy Spirit, why didn't such a thing happen in his previous life.
The rest of the people who were left behind hadn't reacted yet, and they all froze in place.
Qu Feng, who followed quickly, didn't quite understand what happened just now, but he had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Tao Yuan sat on the carriage, turned to look at Miaochen with a serious face, "Daddy..."
Miaochen held his hand, turned to look at him and comforted him, "Did it scare you? The body of the holy spirit is not a bad thing, you don't have to be afraid, Dad and your father are just too surprised."
Tao Yuan nodded.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Miaochen asked Tao Yuan to rest first, and then went to the study with Qu Cang.
