Chapter 233

Wanqi Zhuyin had already learned from Yue Yuekou that the Linghai Kingdom was established by the Wanqi family who fled from the island at the beginning, and even the priesthood was built by her.

It's a pity that after giving birth to her only daughter, Wan Qi couldn't afford to be seriously ill due to insufficient blood. In addition, she put the skull on her body forcibly, and established the Linghai Kingdom in a short period of time with the help of the skull. , Elected three great aristocratic families to assist in governing the country, the Wanqi family died after struggling for two years.

With the foundation laid by the Wanqi family, Prince Xuan, the loyal rib holder who protects the lord, and the three loyal families, the only two-year-old little empress of Linghai Kingdom can grow up safely and preside over state affairs.

In the early days of Linghai Kingdom, the offspring did not reproduce, and there were a large number of pirates haunting the sea. The whole country was unanimous in expanding the sea area, and the country achieved a high degree of unity.

However, the good times didn't last long. With the decline of the pirates, Linghai Kingdom quickly incorporated the surrounding islands into the territory of the country, and the country became more and more prosperous. After experiencing huge power and wealth, many Later, the rising powerful families began to become restless and have different intentions.

They united to resist the empress, and the royal family complied with their request to be succeeded by a man for stability, and the princess with the skull served as the high priest of the priesthood.Therefore, every new king of Linghai Kingdom is succeeded by the descendants of the princess who is the successor of the skull.

The next thing was that, just like every dynasty and generation that Wanqi Zhuyin knew, the rich and powerful rushed to send the school-age girls from their families into the palace.

This situation continued for a period of time, and the powerful families became more and more rampant. The Wanqi royal family finally couldn't bear it anymore and cleaned up the domestic noble families. Many families with a history of hundreds of years were replaced by upstarts who were loyal to the royal family. , which established the national style of Linghai Kingdom different from that of Chuyang Kingdom. The loyalty of the noble families of Linghai Kingdom to the royal family is beyond people's imagination.

Controlling the powerful family and the priesthood, the centralization of the Wanqi royal family reached its peak, and each generation of kings also worked hard to rule, while protecting the successor of the skull, while enjoying the power of being a king.

Generation after generation, until the generation of Wanqi Xuanyi, from the moment he ascended the throne, he hoped that his own children would succeed him.Why did he have to be succeeded by the descendants of Wancheng Lianhua after he finally obtained the throne?

Therefore, he preemptively married Wanqi Lianhua to Chuyang country.

Although many powerful families were dissatisfied with Wanqi Xuanyi's approach, they did not know the reason for the rule of succession. Since the royal family has not changed and they are all descendants of the Wanqi family, they will not intervene much.

In the long history of Linghai Kingdom, Wanqi Zhuyin noticed that in addition to the high-ranking high priest, there is also a holy master in the priesthood of Linghai Kingdom, whose status is second only to the high priest.

The strange thing is that during the tenure of Wanqi Lianhua, with Wanqi Lianhua's distant marriage, the Holy Master also disappeared together.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Wanqi Zhuyin looked at the wall of the main hall.

But it was discovered that there was a man and a woman on these ancient walls. Because of the long time, they were all blurred and could not see their faces clearly. They could only vaguely see them standing above the blue sky, and below were thousands of pious people.

"That man... should be the Holy Master of the priesthood... Unfortunately, I can't see his face clearly..." Wan Qizhuyin thought to himself.

Regarding the Holy Lord of the priesthood, Wanqi Zhuyin has hardly heard any relevant news. After all, he does not belong to the same country. In addition, Mo Zhuyin has been imprisoned in Zhuangzi all the time, so the news is blocked.

Moreover, the origin of the holy masters of the priesthood of Linghai country is a mystery. Even the people of Linghai country do not know where the previous holy masters came from, let alone how long they lived.

It is said that the Holy Master of the Priesthood is changed every 500 years. The first Holy Master appeared out of thin air in the Holy Land of the Priesthood. His spiritual power was comparable to that of the High Priest at that time. host.

And every Holy Master will disappear without a trace after 500 years of office, and a new Holy Master will appear in the temple the next day.However, the period of tenure of the Holy Master during the tenure of Wancheng Lianhua was only a few decades, which is far from 500 years. So where did the Holy Master go?
Regarding this suspicious holy master, Wanqi Zhuyin did not ignore it as much as Yueyue and the others. Although these holy masters have not had much intersection with every high priest for thousands of years, there has never been any weird incidents. Behavior, but Wan Teng Zhuyin faintly felt that this Holy Master was a little unusual.

Just as Wanqi Zhuyin was thinking deeply, the sound of several heavy footsteps outside the hall brought Wanqi Zhuyin back to reality.

Soon, three old men with white hair and beards walked to the main hall. Besides the seven high priests, there were also several other powerful... I don't know if they were human...things.

One of them wrapped his body in a black robe, without any skin exposed, only a pair of gloomy and frightening eyes could be seen.

There is also a woman who looks young, her whole body is crystal clear, and she has an unspeakable strangeness.

The others, who looked middle-aged, carried swords or knives.

The power of several people is strange, it is not clear whether it is spiritual power or demon power, but the power is as deep and unfathomable as the lake and sea, not a little bit stronger than the new seven priests in front of them.

Wan Tengzhuyin thought, these people should all be the real strength hidden by the priesthood.

Those people stood aside, staring at Wanqi Zhuyin's face, but did not speak.

After a long time, the old man at the head clasped his fists towards Wanqi Zhuyin and said, "I heard what the seven priests said, Her Royal Highness the Princess is here..."

Seeing the expressions of the three elders, Xuan Yun didn't completely believe it, but he wasn't worried either. Anyway, it couldn't be true, and he believed that Wanqi Zhuyin had enough ability to solve it.

"Hehe... If the descendants of Princess An Ran are really here, it will be an honor for my priesthood... But..." The old man stared at Wan Cheng Zhuyin's face and smiled coldly.

"Oh, are you questioning Princess Benben?" A cold light flashed in Wan Qizhu's eyes.

"Don't dare, it's not questioning, but I want to confirm the identity of Her Royal Highness... After all, today's priesthood can no longer tolerate any blows. I still remember the lesson of Wanqi Xuanyi when I was young. Come to think of it, Your Highness Princess , and I don’t want us to be so hasty and credulous to others.” The old man laughed.

"Okay." Wan Qi Zhuyin nodded, took out a seal from his bosom, put it in the palm of his hand and displayed it in front of everyone, "I think the three elders still remember what this is."

"This is... the Soldier Talisman of Po Jun!?" The three elders shouted in unison, with a bit of disbelief in their surprised expressions.

What was more exciting than them were the strangely powerful people standing aside. They quickly stepped forward and surrounded Wanqi Zhuyin, and one of them in a black robe even wanted to take the seal of Wanqi Zhuyin's palm.

Wan Teng Zhuyin clasped his palms together, leaped out of the encirclement lightly, stood beside Xuan Yun and said with a smile: "Everyone can take a look at such an important thing, but don't touch it."

The man in black robe gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you get the soldier talisman? Where are the seven generals now?"

Wan Tengzhuyin raised her eyebrows. It seems that these people are priests belonging to Pojun. She said calmly: "Of course my mother entrusted friends to give them to me when I grew up. Priest, they are dead."

There was a sound of gasping all around, and the people in the priesthood looked sad, but at the same time they didn't want to believe it, and forced themselves to suppress it.

Presumably, they also had a premonition in their hearts, and felt that the Seventh Priest's absence for such a long time was bad luck, but they still had a glimmer of hope.

The man in black glared at Wanqi Zhuyin fiercely, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible! The soldier talisman is so important, even if it is to be entrusted, it should be handed over to the Seventh Priest. How could the princess hand it over to an outsider? You said that the Seventh Priest The priest is dead, what evidence is there?"

"Presumptuous!" The elder in charge sneered at the black-robed man, "How can you question so presumptuously in front of the princess!"

The moment Wanqi Zhuyin took out the soldier talisman, the three elders already believed [-]% of Wanqi Zhuyin's identity. As far as they knew, how smart Wanqi Lianhua was, how could she randomly use such an important soldier talisman? Random entrustment.

The soldier talisman has not been produced for more than ten years, and when it came out, it was in the hands of a woman who looked exactly like Wanqi Lianhua and had such a similar spiritual power. They had nothing to doubt when they saw this soldier talisman.

"Princess, forgive me, Zang Tian, ​​this is..." The head elder general said eloquently about the situation of these seven people.

Wanqi Lianhua died tragically 16 years ago, and the seven high priests disappeared together with the soldier talisman. Wanqi Xuanyi imposed the crime of treason and theft on the seven high priests.Of course, the members of the House of Priests who firmly believed that the Seventh Priests were human would not believe it, so their seven lieutenants sneaked into Chuyang Kingdom to find the whereabouts of the Seventh Priests and the soldiers. They don't even look like ghosts, and they can't even see the sun. If the sun shines, their skin and flesh will be burned.

As a last resort, they could only temporarily retreat to Linghai Kingdom and hide in the underground temple.

Everyone in the Priestly Academy knew in their hearts that this was the work of Wanqixuanyi and Murong Tingshen, but they had nothing to do without evidence. After all, the Priestly Academy still had to be loyal to the Wanqi royal family, so they could only endure it and unite with Wanqixuan Haojing wait for the time.

"It's okay, they are only so cautious because they are loyal to my mother." Wan Qizhuyin sighed secretly, and waved his hand indifferently.

These seven people's abilities are very strong, not weaker than Xiao Xinghan, so it's a pity, and I don't know if there is any way to cure their strange disease.

"Zang Tian, ​​why don't you hurry up and thank the princess for your innocence!" the elder gave the black-robed man a glance and said coldly.

Zang Tian just snorted coldly, he didn't kneel down and kowtow like the elder said, and the six people behind him were all skeptical, but not as tough as Zang Tian.

Seeing that the seven people did not believe it, Wan Teng Zhuyin was not angry, but smiled lightly: "Since you want to see the evidence, I will show it to you."

After all, she jumped off the ground with her toes, and the red lotus in her body exploded instantly and held her in midair. She closed her eyes, put her hands on her chest to make a big day Buddha seal, and chanted a mantra.

Seeing the familiar flame, not to mention the three elders who believed in it [-]%, even the seven Zang Tian were all shocked.

Crimson...fire! ?

"How is it possible..." Zang Tian looked at the flames surrounding Wanqi Zhuyin, dumbfounded.

This is the red lotus fire that belongs exclusively to Princess Anran Wanqi Lianhua. Except for the high-level priests, outsiders don't know it at all, let alone have the same move.

And this girl not only possessed a soldier talisman, but also used the same flames as Princess An Ran, could it be...

However, before everyone recovered from the flames, even greater shock struck again.

Behind Wan Teng Zhuyin, seven looming figures suddenly appeared. Those figures were recognized by the three elders present, the seven Zang Tian, ​​and the new unrecognized seven high priests who had already been stunned. The seven high priests who have disappeared for many years, the seven generals who broke the army!
Looking at the seven people behind Wanqi Zhuyin, and the increasingly dazzling and fiery flames on Wanqi Zhuyin, the three elders suddenly "plopped" a few times and fell to their knees on the ground.

"Subordinates see the High Priest, see the Seven High Priests!"

Behind the three elders, the seven Zang Tian and the last seven priests bowed down to Wanqi Zhuyin.

Wan Qizhu's voice: "..."

If she had known that the priests were so loyal, she would have summoned Po Jun earlier, wasting so much of her saliva!
"Get up." Wan Cheng Zhuyin waved at them, she was really not used to being bowed down so often.

"High Priest, my subordinates are guilty, I don't know the true face of the High Priest...and even offended the High Priest... Please protect the High Priest and convict him!" The head of the Great Elder lowered his head, not daring to lift it up.

Offending the high priest is a serious sin, and he, a mere great elder, definitely shouldn't commit such a crime.

"I am guilty!"

Zang Tian and the others shouted, but their voices were a little choked, and Wan Qi Zhuyin saw tears gleaming at the corners of their drooping eyes.It seems that the death of the Seven High Priests was a big blow to them.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Zang Tian asked with difficulty: "High priest, I don't know, how did the seven high priests die?"

Looking at the reactions of the people, Wan Teng Zhuyin sighed slowly. It was inconvenient for her to explain to them what was going on in the misty forest, so she simply said that they were already friends when she met them. The spirit body, it was their spirit body that taught her to use the soldier talisman to absorb them into her body, making them her own special shikigami.

After finishing speaking, she glanced at the crowd, and said slowly: "You are also thinking about the priesthood and the Linghai Kingdom, so the crime should not be considered. I forgive you and wait. I will not be an example."

"Thank you High Priest!" The three elders stood up slowly, apparently greatly relieved, and the seven Zang Tian and the seven panic-stricken priests also stood up together.

At this moment, the Great Elder remembered another matter reported by the seven priests, and leaned over and asked respectfully, "High Priest, where are Mo Yuxin and Mo Mingxian? Where is that Miss Zhao Xue now?"

Wan Tengzhuyin smiled and said, "Zhao Xue was transformed by me. As for Mo Mingxian and Mo Yuxin, I have already killed them."
