Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1503: Legend of the Hidden Sea 23

Xiao Jinyue was not in a hurry to inform Emperor Zhenshun about Shi Quan and Zhao Bingwen's acquaintance. After all, it would be best for Shi Quan to find an opportunity to explain the matter himself. It happened that Zhao Bingwen really sent someone to keep an eye on Hanzhang Palace. After Shi Quan found out, he had an excuse to confess to Emperor Zhenshun.

It just so happened that Emperor Zhenshun wanted to find the three bronze fish that were placed together with the Gui Seal, so he of course gave Shi Quan a light punishment and a severe warning, and by the way, he released a large amount of water for Zhao Bingwen's men, allowing Zhao Bingwen to successfully steal the Gui Seal.

That’s right, the Gui Seal that Emperor Zhenshun took out to fish was a real thing, but when it really fell into Zhao Bingwen’s hands, it had been replaced with a fake provided by Cang Hai Youyi. As for the real thing, it went directly into Xiao Jinyue’s hands.

This Gui Seal is not very big, and at a glance its shape resembles a Qilin stepping on a ghost.

The Qilin held its head high and chest out, stepping on a three-headed imp, the imp's claws also grabbing the Qilin's feet.

Looking closely, it doesn't look like a unicorn stepping on a ghost, but rather many little ghosts gathering into a unicorn.

These little ghosts have smooth scales on their bodies, and they look like snakes entangled together.

The shape and appearance are secondary. This Gui Seal is indeed Yin in nature. Xiao Jinyue's soul is now sealed and concealed. Even if there are many methods of cultivation, it will be useless. However, he can still gather spiritual energy when there is plenty of spiritual energy.

This Guixi looked very familiar to Xiao Jinyue. Zang Hai watched her staring at the Guixi in a daze. He couldn't help but feel uneasy and hurriedly tried to wake her up, "Your Majesty, what do you think of this Guixi?"

Xiao Jinyue was interrupted by Zang Hai and couldn't remember where she had seen this thing. She answered casually, "I just think this Guixi is very familiar. I think I have seen it somewhere."

Zang Hai would not think that Xiao Jinyue just made up an excuse, nor would he think that Xiao Jinyue had seen it from the drawings provided by Queen Dongxia Mingyusuti. He would not guess that Emperor Zhenshun would share something with Xiao Jinyue after he got the Gui Seal. He really couldn't figure out under what circumstances Xiao Jinyue would have seen the appearance of the Gui Seal, so he kept this matter in mind.

Xiao Jinyue asked Cang Hai, "Did Ming Yusuti tell you under what circumstances the former king of winter and summer decided to use the Guixi to create the Yin soldiers to fight against Dayong?"

Zang Hai didn't need to recall and said directly: "Queen Dongxia hasn't mentioned it yet. Do you want me to ask?"

Xiao Jinyue looked straight at Zang Hai and nodded, "You might as well tell Queen Dongxia directly that I will not return the Gui Seal to Dongxia. The Gui Seal will only be destroyed in my hands."

Xiao Jinyue called herself the king, and Zang Hai would not doubt her determination. He immediately agreed solemnly that he would definitely get the matter done for Xiao Jinyue.

After Ming Yusuti heard what Xiao Jinyue said as conveyed by Zang Hai, and after hearing Zang Hai ask about the causes and consequences of the late king's use of the Gui Seal, she immediately understood Xiao Jinyue's thoughts. She did not intend to hide it, but still wanted to use this matter to make a deal with Xiao Jinyue and take Ming Xiang An Tu and the Gui Seal back together.

Zang Hai, however, was not optimistic about Ming Yusuti's thoughts and said directly: "I can also help Mr. Xiang return to Dongxia. This is not difficult, but the Guixi is something that King Qinghe must destroy. The cause and effect of the previous King Dongxia using the Guixi may not be enough to make King Qinghe change his mind."

Ming Yu Suti was certainly not fully prepared, and directly threw out another huge temptation: "What if it is immortality?"

"Even if Prince Qinghe is not interested in immortality, can you guarantee that Emperor Zhenshun will not care about it?"

Zang Hai's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood the Queen of Winter and Summer's demeanor at this moment.

He had to admit that he had been slack in many areas recently. Even in the words of Queen Dongxia, she had a deep affection for his father Kuai Duo and had been thinking about him for many years because she had been unable to get him, so she loved him as much as her own son or nephew.

Now it seems that the queen is the head of a country after all. Although her status is slightly lower than that of Emperor Zhenshun, she is also the real master of the royal court and rules a region.

Zang Hai could only agree to help mediate. After Zang Hai left, Ming Xiang An Tu couldn't understand why Ming Yu Suti suddenly became like this, and asked the reason.

Ming Yusuti saw that Ming Xiang An Tu was so concerned about Zang Hai. She said that she had forgotten Zang Hai, but in fact she just stared at him without blinking when he was in front of her, and when he was not in front of her, she looked like she was eagerly waiting for him to come over. She couldn't help but shook her head.

Mingyu Suti replied Mingxiang Antu: "Just like Emperor Zhenshun and Prince Qinghe trust me but not the future queen Dongxia, even if I really can't take the Guixi with me, I have to see it destroyed with my own eyes before I can feel at ease."

Mingxiang Antu breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that Mingyusuti was not really trying to threaten Xiao Jinyue with the matter of immortality, and apologized to his mother embarrassedly.

Mingyu Suti would not blame this young girl who had been away from her homeland and suffered all kinds of grievances since she was a child for her throne. She also took the opportunity to teach her a few words and promised to bring her back to Dongxia.

Xiao Jinyue also guessed what Ming Yusuti was thinking, so she invited Ming Yusuti to come and witness the destruction of the Gui Seal.

Ming Yusuti went there happily, but when she saw Xiao Jinyue and verified the authenticity of the Gui Seal in her hand, she had to remind Xiao Jinyue: "The material of the Gui Seal is special. It is neither gold nor jade, neither copper nor iron. No one proposed to destroy the Gui Seal in winter and summer before, so naturally I don't know how to destroy it."

Xiao Jinyue had been prepared for this. "The Guixi is indeed special. It is formed naturally by mixing meteorite jade from outer space with other materials. Ordinary methods of burning and smashing are of course useless. But as long as the Yang Fire is used, the Guixi will disappear in an instant."

Ming Yusuti was really curious, "In this world, fire also has yin and yang?"

Zang Hai had done some research on this, and seeing that Xiao Jinyue had no intention of helping Ming Yusu to solve his doubts, he took the initiative to explain, "In the Eight Trigrams, the hexagram of fire is Li, with the upper and lower parts being yang and the middle being yin. It belongs to the south and represents both light and wisdom."

Xiao Jinyue continued with Zang Hai's words and said, "The fire in the Eight Diagrams is Yang Fire, and the fire that comes from underground is Yin Fire."

Ming Yusuti looked at the barbecue ingredients and utensils prepared in the small garden. She certainly didn't think that Xiao Jinyue would be so careless as to burn the Gui Seal on the charcoal fire. Sure enough, she saw a maid with steady steps holding a two-foot-long exquisite mother-of-pearl butterfly and crabapple box, and stopped beside Xiao Jinyue.

Xiao Jinyue opened the box, which contained three transparent white diamonds that were larger than his palm and had been polished into a teardrop shape.

Everyone saw Xiao Jinyue placing the three transparent diamonds in a corner position. After carefully adjusting the positions, the sunlight passed through the three gems and gradually gathered the light to one point.

Xiao Jinyue placed the Gui Seal on the point where the sunlight converged. After a while, wisps of green smoke really came out from the Gui Seal.

Xiao Jinyue began to ask Cang Hai to prepare the barbecue. Cang Hai sat in the pavilion, turning over various meats, while not forgetting to pay attention to the situation of Gui Xi. The wisps of green smoke were floating diligently, but the color of Gui Xi just became slightly lighter, without any major changes.

However, with this trick, Ming Yusuti completely believed that Xiao Jinyue had a way to get rid of the Gui Seal, and he had no desire to covet it.
