Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 131 Mystery Treasure Box
When Xibo Jifu came to the North Palace, he didn't see Ji Gongnie, so he couldn't help feeling strange.

At this time, the Great Hall of the Beigong Palace was resplendent and resplendent, and envoys from all over the world stood respectfully on both sides who had just presented their treasures.The tribute boxes, large and small, were piled up under the ten-foot-high steps in the center of the hall.Seven or eight little eunuchs were busy counting the number of boxes, and the light of gold and jewelry made the little eunuchs dizzy.

Above the mountain of treasure chests, there is a gold-lacquered throne carved with dragons, on which sits a small old man.The crown inlaid with gold and inlaid with jade, and the dragon robe with brocade and jade belts were announcing to everyone present that this unattractive sixtieth old man was the Emperor Zhou who had power all over the world.

Seeing Xibo Jifu, Zhou Tianzi quickly waved his hand, signaling him to come over.

"Aiqing, Qingli Shangxian recently gave me a pill to rejuvenate my youth. How do you look today?"

Xibo Jifu sized up Emperor Zhou, and replied: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, not only has your majesty's complexion not improved, but he has lost a lot of weight."

Hearing Xi Bojifu's negation, Zhou Tianzi was not angry, but laughed instead: "I like to hear Aiqing tell the truth the most. In fact, it is not the upper body but the lower body that makes the widow rejuvenate..."

"Lower body?"

Zhou Tianzi showed a wretched and sinister smile, and whispered in Xibo Jifu's ear:

"Since eating that panacea, all the concubines love you to death, hahahaha!"

Xibo Jifu gave a wry smile, and sighed secretly in his heart, he couldn't help but think of the cruel and fatuous King Zhou Li.At that time, the princes did not come to the court until the emperor of Zhou ascended the throne. He made extensive admonitions, settled down the common people, promoted hunting rituals and music, followed the legacy of King Wen of Zhou, and restored the declining authority of the Zhou royal family.Later, the princes went to court with the emperor one after another, and the four barbarians surrendered, bringing about an unprecedented prosperity.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Since Zhou Tianzi met a fairy named Qingli in his later years, his temperament began to change drastically.Xibo Jifu felt a deep regret for this, and was afraid that if it continued, the revival of the Zhou family would soon become a flash in the pan.

"The envoy of Shen Kingdom enters the palace!"

Accompanied by a soft cry, two people slowly walked in outside the palace gate.

Su Ji walked in front wearing a bronze mask, and Li Rumei, who was wearing a light purple thin smoky veil, walked behind holding a wooden box in her jade hands.

Looking at the two people walking from a distance, Zhou Tianzi's complexion changed subtly.

"Who is that person?" Zhou Tianzi asked.

Xibo Jifu replied: "Master Fox of Xuanhu Sect."

Zhou Tianzi frowned, "I didn't ask you about the masked man, I asked you who is the beauty beside him?"

"She is Li Rumei, the wife of the fox master Mo Shu." Xibo Jifu hesitated for a moment, then frowned and said, "However, I seem to have heard that Mo Shu is dead..."

Hearing the death of Li Rumei's husband, Zhou Tianzi's heart fluttered suddenly, a gleam of light lit up in his eyes, but it dimmed again in an instant, "Since the fox master named Mo Shu is dead, who is the person in the audience now? "

Xibo Jifu showed a look of embarrassment, and shook his head, "This... I don't know."

When the two walked down the steps, Zhou Tianzi said sharply:

"Envoy of Shen Kingdom, I ordered you to take off your mask!"

Li Rumei glanced at Su Ji.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Ji took off the mask on his face, revealing a delicate face.

Xibo Jifu suddenly turned pale with shock, he didn't expect that the person under the mask would be Su Ji.Taoist Huangmei had never told him that the master of Xuanling Pavilion was Mr. Fox, but now that he suddenly saw Su Ji, he began to feel uneasy.Su Ji left the palace without authorization before, but now he went back and forth, and suddenly appeared as a fox master, which made people feel deeply suspicious.

Zhou Tianzi looked at Li Rumei and the wooden box she was holding, with a look of anticipation on his face: "The tributes from Shen Kingdom in the past years, the crown prince likes them very much, I hope you will not disappoint this year."

"That's natural." Su Ji pointed to the wooden box, and said Langlang: "I heard that your majesty has the most treasures in the world. It's a pity that there is no decent container to hold them, and even the best treasures will cry. Often the more precious The more people want to get the treasure, the easier it is to be thieves, with this mysterious treasure box, Your Majesty can rest easy."

"Mystery treasure box?" Zhou Tianzi repeated silently, his face darkened.

Li Rumei smiled sweetly, and slowly raised the box in her hand.

Su Ji continued: "The cover of the mysterious treasure box is inlaid with 49 precious stones, corresponding to the stars in the sky, which change with the sun and the moon. Those who don't know how to open it will be injured by the mechanisms in the box. If it is serious, it can kill you, and it is extremely dangerous, so I must first teach the opening and closing method, so as not to hurt your majesty."

As soon as the words fell, the Baoguo envoy suddenly stepped forward, pointed at Su Ji's nose and shouted:
"Brave maniac! How dare you tease the Holy Majesty! How can a mere broken box be used as a tribute? Besides, to present such a dangerous thing to the emperor, is it impossible to plan an assassination like the White Wolf King?"

After the envoy of Baoguo finished speaking, the people in the hall began to discuss one after another.

Zhou Tianzi was silent, and couldn't help but began to hesitate.

Su Ji turned a deaf ear to the doubts around him, and just said respectfully to Emperor Zhou: "In terms of danger, a magic weapon is far more dangerous than a box, but a magic weapon can still be the best tribute. The power spreads all over the world, and the power shakes all directions. Would you be afraid of a mere box?"

Zhou Tianzi hesitated for a moment, then slowly pressed his two old hands on the dragon chair, and subconsciously made a movement to get up.

At this time, Xibo Jifu closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly found the clue of the box.With his eyes, he could detect a hint of mysterious energy in the box.If the box has been casted with spells, not only can it contain items many times larger than the box's capacity, but it can also hide living people.Now even if there are thousands of troops hidden in that box, it is not surprising.

"This thing is dangerous! Your Majesty, don't come near it!" Xibo Jifu shouted, looking at Su Ji with vigilant eyes.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not!" Man Chao fell to his knees one by one and shouted at the same time.

Seeing this situation, Emperor Zhou slowly retracted his hand on the dragon chair.

Su Ji looked at his father who was loyal to protect the lord, and there was an indescribable complex emotion in his eyes.

At this moment, a childish voice suddenly came from outside the palace gate:

"The son is willing to replace the father!"

In the voice, Ji Gongyan in coir raincoat was carried by Li Hongxi and ran in from the outside.

Taking off the hat that was still dripping, Ji Gongnie said to Zhou Tianzi on the high platform: "Please let the child learn the opening and closing method instead of the father. If someone wants to plot evil, even if he kills his son, there are still others." Many brothers and sisters can inherit sons and ministers to become princes, but there will always be only one father and king."

Zhou Tianzi turned his head and glanced at Xibo Jifu, as if to approve of his teaching skills.

Looking at the little prince who suddenly barged in, Su Ji couldn't help clenching his fists slightly.

Li Hongxi took a step forward, protecting his body in front of Ji Gongxuan.

"His Royal Highness, let me come."

After finishing speaking, Li Hongxi strode towards the mysterious treasure box.

Xibo Jifu breathed a sigh of relief, because with Li Hongxi here, ordinary monks couldn't do anything wrong.

Su Ji's face darkened, and he looked at Li Hongxi who was coming towards him with both eyes, faintly feeling the danger of this person,
Li Hongxi looked calm, and after learning the opening method from Su Ji, he opened the lid of the box without any hesitation without saying a word!
The moment it was opened, a strong light in the shape of a dragon flew out of the box, and the purple light inside the box flourished!
Everyone was shocked.The surrounding guards stepped forward one after another, shouting nervously: "Escort! Protect Your Majesty!"

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Tianzi got up and stepped down from the throne, seeing the empty box from a distance, he couldn't help asking: "There is nothing in the box, why is it still shining?"

Su Ji replied: "This is exactly the power of the mysterious treasure box. Only treasures that are precious enough can suppress its light."

Zhou Tianzi was dubious, and immediately pointed at the mountain of treasures.

The eunuch understood, followed the direction pointed by Emperor Zhou, and quickly brought a golden pearl the size of an egg.

This is a South Sea pearl produced from the extremely rare golden-lipped shellfish. It is pure, large, and never fades. Some people call it a golden pearl.Usually the largest golden bead is no more than the size of a grape, but this golden bead is the size of an egg, it can be said to be a rare and top-quality product.

However, after this golden bead was put into the box, the light inside did not change at all!

The expression of the Baoguo envoy suddenly changed.

Ji Gongyan blinked, and began to find it very interesting, raised his head and said, "Father, why don't you put the best treasure of this year in it."

Zhou Tianzi smiled slightly, and said to the eunuch, "Go and put in the Zhujin liquid, which can turn stones into gold."

The eunuch turned around and took out a golden jade bottle, and put it into the mysterious treasure box.

The light in the box suddenly began to change, the golden light from the jade bottle and the purple light in the box flickered, as if a fierce contest was going on.

After a while, the golden light emitted by the jade bottle dimmed as if suppressed, and the purple light inside the box was still dazzling.

"It really is a good treasure." Ji Gongyan clapped his hands and praised.

"Since the crown prince likes it, I will accept it." Zhou Tianzi nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Come here! Prepare a gift for this fox master of Shen Kingdom!"

"No rush." ​​With two words, Su Ji instantly quieted the surroundings.

Zhou Tianzi asked: "Master, do you have anything else to say?"

Su Ji said solemnly: "In fact, there is a more magical place in the mysterious treasure box. It can not only test the value of a treasure, but also test the value of an emperor. Don't you want to know whether your majesty? Is it enough to overwhelm the light of this treasure box?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone couldn't help talking.

Zhou Tianzi stared at Su Ji, his smiling face suddenly darkened.
