Talk about the world of mortals in detail

The originally drowsy old emperor was now so energetic that he stood up from the throne involuntarily.

To be able to emit such luster, first of all, it must be a treasure, such as the two luminous pearls treasured in the palace, but what King Xin is talking about are dragon scales!

"Mao'er, did you see a dragon in Beihai?"

King Xin would not answer such a question rashly. He had to ignore it when it was time to answer it, and he just answered it loudly.

"Back to my father, I have not seen the dragon with my own eyes. As I said before, the dragon scales came from the magistrate of Haiyu County, and the dragon scales were also salvaged by fishermen in Haiyu County."

"Quick, bring it up for me to see!"

The emperor couldn't wait any longer. The old eunuch went down immediately, and King Xin also handed over the dragon scale.

When the eunuch brought the dragon scales, the old emperor's face was full of excitement when he held the dragon scales. Looking at it from a close distance, the aura was more obvious. It felt cold and delicate to the touch, which was very special, and it also had a sense of flexibility.

The old emperor has seen countless rare treasures in his life, but he has never seen anything like this.

Is this a dragon scale? This is dragon scale!

Not only did his son say it was, but the old emperor also had a special feeling as soon as he bought it. He vaguely seemed to hear the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder, but it seemed like it was just an illusion.

Prince Xiao on the side looked to his side, and a minister who received the instruction immediately asked.

"Since it was presented by a local official, how could His Highness King Xin know that this object is a dragon scale? Is that what the county magistrate said? Even so, how could His Highness King Xin easily gain trust?"

The minister said, deliberately taking on a serious tone.

"You should not play tricks on the court, let alone bully the emperor."

This was said very seriously, and it attracted many people, including the emperor, to look at King Xin, who was already convinced that this was a dragon scale that was naturally fearless and answered calmly.

"Father, I dare to believe that this thing is a dragon scale, and there is more evidence to prove it. It can be proved by both human beings and treasures!"

Prince Zhong on the side also spoke, but he had nothing to do with his brother, and his eyes were curiously staring at the two dragon scales in the emperor's hands.

"The witness couldn't be Magistrate Haiyu, right? He's here too?"

"Exactly, what a coincidence, the Haiyu County Magistrate Guan Xinrui is Liu Yanchong's son-in-law! It was only through his hands that I learned that this thing is really a dragon scale. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a treasure presented by the county magistrate, but I can't. Just take him to Beijing to face the saint together!"

King Xin's words were even more modest and courteous. His weight in the emperor's heart was not low, and he had the guts to put aside the relationship. Even if the dragon scales were fake, there was still a way to make things right.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately gave the order.

"Xuan Haiyu County Magistrate has an audience!"

Immediately, a eunuch announcing the order shouted outside the gate of the Golden Palace.

"Xuan~Haiyu County Magistrate has an audience——"

After several rounds of transmission of the voice, when it arrived at Guan Xinruina, he who had been waiting and preparing for it suddenly became more excited and hurriedly tidied up his clothes.

"Master Guan, leave quickly, don't keep the emperor waiting!"

"Yes, please ask father-in-law to lead the way!"

As Guan Xinrui spoke, he picked up a copper basin filled with water and followed. The eunuch in front looked back and was surprised.

"Master Guan, what are you doing?"

"Don't be surprised, father-in-law, you'll need it later!"

The eunuch nodded without saying anything and took Guan Xinrui to the Golden Palace.

During the imperial examination, Guan Xinrui came to the palace once, but never to the Chaohui Golden Hall, let alone this time as an official.

After arriving outside the Golden Palace, Guan Xinrui looked inside, as if he had already seen his own path to great success. He adjusted his breathing before entering the palace.

All the civil and military officials looked at Guan Xinrui, which made him, a small local magistrate, feel that everyone was paying attention to him, and the emperor was also looking at him.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Xinrui stepped forward quickly. When he reached the center, he put down the basin and bowed without saying a word.

"My lord, Guan Xinrui, the magistrate of Haiyu County, pays homage to your majesty!"

"Guan Ai, no courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guan Xinrui stood up excitedly, but the old emperor above him was equally excited, holding a dragon scale and asking.

"Guan Aiqing will soon tell you in detail how to obtain the dragon scales. By the way, Mao'er said there is a method to prove it. Does Aiqing know?"

Hearing the emperor call him "Aiqing", Guan Xinrui, who was slightly in a mood, always had a calm face.

"Your Majesty, of course there is. I have brought what I need. It is this basin of water. I will confirm it and tell you the origin of the dragon scale. Please lend me a dragon scale for the time being!" "

The small local county magistrate met the emperor for the first time in the capital. His words were sonorous, powerful and clear. This alone made all the officials present look at him. He was worthy of being Liu Yanchong's son-in-law.

The emperor immediately separated a piece of dragon scale and gave it to the eunuch beside him. The old eunuch took the dragon scale and walked below. Guan Xinrui pointed directly at the water basin.

"The sky is still bright at the moment. Please put the dragon scales in the water."

The old eunuch looked at Guan Xinrui, then bent down and carefully put the dragon scale into the water.

The next moment, the water in the basin swayed, and streaks of light were refracted from the water.

On the one hand, a copper basin was used today, and on the other hand, the scales were stained with the emperor's dragon energy, so they were glossier than before.

Even though the sky is brighter now, this stream of light is still very conspicuous in the Golden Palace.

The eyes of the court officials and the emperor slowly turned from the water basin to other places, and streams of light flowed in the golden palace.

At this moment, both the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a special feeling. Even though the flow of light did not form a complete dragon body, it felt like part of the dragon body was swimming in the nine heavens.

It is as if this dragon is very huge, and the stream of light it brings is just a part of its dragon body.

It's a dragon!

"It's really dragon scales, it's really dragon scales!"

The old emperor stood up in excitement again and looked at the light flowing from the Golden Palace. The scales in his hands seemed to be brighter in response to the scales in the basin.

At this moment, Guan Xinrui seized the opportunity to talk about it.

"Your Majesty, there was a fisherman who went out to sea to fish at the pier in Haiyu County. Before dawn, he saw bursts of light flowing from the net. It was the same golden light we saw from the dragon's body at this moment."

Guan Xinrui's slightly exaggerated and altered story became particularly believable under his calm narration, and the emperor and officials in the palace listened quietly to his story.

"When I learned about this, I went to the fishing village in person, and finally discussed it with the fisherman, and moved him with emotion and reason. You must know that dragon scales are divine objects, and the emperor is a real dragon in the world. This treasure is auspiciousness descended from heaven. , it should belong to the Emperor, so I spent a lot of money to buy the dragon scales and present them to the Emperor!"

With that said, Guan Xinrui looked at King Xin.

"His Royal Highness King Xin is sincere and filial. I am a small county magistrate who should not be qualified to see him, but when he heard that the matter was related to the Holy Lord, he made a special trip to see me. Only then did we come to Beijing together. I am a small local county magistrate. Your Majesty, I dare not boast in the Golden Palace, but all the above are words from Fei Mansion. I sincerely hope that our dynasty will prosper and your Majesty will live forever!"

It is really remarkable that a small local magistrate can be so eloquent! Many ministers felt this way in their hearts.

The emperor above even laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha, okay, okay, Guan Aiqing said it well! Maoer did a good job too!"

At this moment, the old emperor only felt that the dragon scales were in his hand, and he was full of energy. The weakness in the past was gone, and a special desire became stronger.

He walked down from above step by step with the dragon scale in hand. When he reached the edge of the copper basin, he seemed to be able to see the dragon shadow swimming in the water.

Guan Xinrui on the side quickly bowed and retreated, while the old emperor looked at the scales in the water and in his hands and couldn't help but say.

"If there is a real dragon in the world, then there must be a real immortal, and there must be the elixir of immortality wine. Maybe these dragon scales can be used as medicine."

Some loyal people in the court frowned at this moment, but it was hard to say anything with the real dragon scale in front, so it was King Xin who spoke.

"Father, it may be difficult to use dragon scales into medicine. I have tried it before, no matter how sharp the weapon is, it can't hurt the dragon scales at all."

The emperor was slightly stunned and raised the dragon scale in his hand higher.

The sky was already bright at this moment, and there was plenty of light in the Golden Palace, but the dragon scales in the emperor's hands still had a faint aura.

"Can't cut it? Come here, try to cut it with a sword!"

After this order, guards immediately came forward.

After a while, a piece of dragon scale was placed on a moved stool.

The civil and military officials of the court and the emperor watched from the outside, while the commander of the guards slowly pulled out his sword and hesitantly asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to chop it down? If such a treasure is injured, I can't afford it."

"Forgive you, chop!"

When the emperor said this, the commander of the guards immediately took the order.

"yes!"

After the words fell, the long sword was raised and dropped in an instant. However, the leader of the movement was very careful, only cutting the corners of the dragon scale, and the force was well controlled.

The sound of "ding~" was very clear, and the sword bounced three inches before being taken back by the guard commander.

Bystanders gathered around and saw that the dragon scales were not damaged at all.

"There really aren't any traces at all." "Is the strength too weak?"

The emperor looked at the commander of the guards again.

"Bring out all your skills and use your full strength!"

The guard commander immediately clasped his fists.

"Yes! Your Majesty and your lords, please take a few steps back!"

When everyone retreated again, the inner strength of the guard commander rose up. For a moment, he felt that his momentum had changed. The sword in his hand was raised again. The next moment,

Huh~

With just a flash of white light, the sword had already landed on the dragon scale.

"when--"

The strong sound of gold and iron clashing made some nearby ministers couldn't help but cover their ears, and the commander of the guards even took three steps back after the blow.

"Click. Bang."

The stool with the dragon scales on it shattered

The old emperor pushed aside the eunuchs and guards who were blocking him at that moment with his hands, walked to the dragon scale and picked it up, looking at the ground and then in his hands.

The pear wood stool was shattered into pieces, but the dragon scales were not damaged at all.

"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"

A crisp sound came from the direction of the guard commander. Everyone looking for the sound looked shocked, including the guard commander himself.

His sword actually broke into more than a dozen pieces, and all the fragments fell to the ground.

"It is said that dragon scales are indestructible and cannot be damaged by anything. Your Majesty, it is not feasible to use dragon scales as medicine. They can be classified as national treasures and passed down to future generations to protect the country and the country!"

The emperor shook his head.

"There must be other ways. I heard that there are countless treasures in the Dragon Palace in the sea. If I use scales as a sacrifice, can I exchange the elixir of immortality with the dragon in the sea? Or, is there an expert alchemist who can use dragon scales to make elixirs? Mortal weapons cannot hurt dragons. Scales, maybe they can be directly incorporated into the elixir?"

Some ministers couldn't help but speak out.

"Your Majesty, most masters are deceivers and deceivers. Many so-called masters have been killed in the capital over the years. I think that no matter how hard we look for them, they will only attract some liars who are just trying to gain fame!"

Guan Xinrui raised his head slightly and suddenly thought of Taoist Xue. This was a real master!

However, Guan Xinrui was not allowed to speak, and King Yi on the side suddenly spoke.

"Father, why don't you seek advice from Zen Master Dingzhen of Hualong Temple? Hualong Mountain is a masterpiece of heaven and earth. Hualong Temple has always had eminent monks in large numbers. Zen Master Dingzhen is even more eminent in virtue and profound in Buddhism. Maybe Long Lin has another explanation."

Hualong Temple?

The emperor's eyes lit up. The Daegu royal family had always attached great importance to Hualong Temple. Each generation of abbots were eminent monks and were canonized by the court.

The other ministers also nodded slightly, thinking that the emperor might be able to listen to what Zen Master Dingzhen said.

A few years ago, there was a demon who used some tricks and small magic to deceive the emperor's trust and almost got the title of Imperial Master. It was Zen Master Dingzhen who exposed the demon's true colors and finally executed him.

"What His Royal Highness King Yi said is true. Zen Master Dingzhen has great wisdom. Maybe he can relieve His Majesty's worries!"
