Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 267 The Origin of the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus

Ji Haoyu noticed that the atmosphere around him was not right, and he immediately realized that he had spoken rudely, and he became even more panicked for a moment.

Fortunately, Emperor Tianwu did not care and said, "What kind of gift did Haoyu prepare? Present it to me and let me see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch outside the hall came into the hall with a wooden barrel in his hand and some difficulty.

Everyone in front of the hall was looking up, and noticed that the wooden barrel was full of water. When they came over, some of the clear water in the barrel splashed out. For a moment, no one could tell what gift the second prince had sent, and they couldn't help but talk about it among themselves.

However, many people who knew the situation were surprised at this moment:
"And isn't the birthday gift that the Second Prince prepared Enlightenment Tea? This doesn't look like it."

"Did you change the birthday gift at the last minute?"

"What's in this bucket? Could it be more valuable than the priceless Enlightenment Tea?"

Most of the people who were talking about this were officials from the Wu Party. They already knew what birthday gift the Second Prince had prepared. That was why they were so surprised when they saw that the Second Prince did not take out the enlightenment tea he had prepared in advance, but instead replaced it with this inexplicable birthday gift.

Emperor Tianwu joked: "Haoyu, is it possible that he is sending me a bucket of water, implying that the people's hearts are like water, which can carry a boat but can also capsize it?"

Ji Haoyu quickly replied: "Father, you are wrong. This water is a container. The precious things are still in the water."

In front of everyone, he rolled up his sleeves, then reached into the wooden barrel and took out the clear lotus in the water.

That pure lotus was originally just a bud about to bloom.

But as it was exposed to the air, it began to bloom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A refreshing and light fragrance filled the hall, and those who were nearby were all inspired by the smell, as if their whole bodies were full of energy.

The lotus has nine petals, each one is different, and there seems to be a divine light flowing through it. You can tell it is extraordinary just by looking at it.

"What is this?"

"When I smell the fragrance of this lotus, all my fatigue disappears. It's a magical thing!"

"Is there such a strange thing in the world?"

The ancestor worship ceremony during the day had caused many elderly officials to suffer from back pain, but when they smelled the lotus fragrance, all their fatigue disappeared.

Many military officers looked at the nine-colored lotus in the second prince's hand with burning eyes. Although they did not know the effect of this lotus, they could perceive that this nine-colored lotus must be a magical object that can warm the qi and blood!
"quiet!"

Seeing the commotion and constant conversation in front of the hall, the Fifth Marquis stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.

It was not until the hall fell silent that Emperor Tianwu's voice was heard again: "My son, what is this?"

Ji Haoyu felt much more relaxed at this moment, and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, this lotus is the 'Nine Brahma Pure Lotus', a divine object born and raised by nature, and was accidentally found in an underwater fairy palace."

"What are the benefits?"

"If ordinary people take it, it can extend their lifespan by sixty years!"

For a moment, there was a hissing sound in the hall.

Prolong life? !
The charm of these four words is enough to make everyone present feel excited.

You should know that in this world, even if a warrior who practices martial arts does not reach the level of a celestial being, his lifespan will be no different from that of an ordinary person.

But even if one enters the realm of heaven, the lifespan will not be extended for long.

In the entire Daqian Jiuzhou, the person with the longest lifespan is currently known to be Daqian's first pillar, Xuandao Sect's leader Guan Yunzi, whose lifespan is over 200 years old.

Apart from him, no one, even a powerful Yangxian who had achieved the first level of Taoism, could live more than 200 years.

For this reason, how can it be said that the birthday gift presented by the Second Prince is not valuable?
When the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus was presented, even Emperor Tianwu was no longer calm. His originally gentle voice became a little excited: "Really?"

Ji Haoyu leaned forward and said, "I dare not lie."

"Good good."

Emperor Tianwu said "good" three times in a row, and his joy was hard to conceal: "It's rare that you have such filial piety, Fifth Marquis, go and get this Nine Brahma Pure Lotus for me to see."

Ji Haoyu said quickly: "This lotus is magical. It will wither when it meets fire, disappear when it meets wood, escape when it meets soil, and seal when it meets water. It can only be carried by gold and silver vessels. Please keep it carefully, father." It is so precious that it really fits the ordinary people's impression of natural treasures.

Fortunately, there are many gold and silver utensils in the palace.

The Fifth Marquis Qiansui quickly found a golden cup and came in front of Ji Haoyu.

This time, even the Fifth Marquis was more cautious. He carefully took the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus from the Second Prince's hands, put it into the golden cup, and then took a few quick steps to present it to His Majesty.

……

"Prime Minister Wu, Your Highness was able to find such a treasure. Your Highness will surely win first place at the banquet tonight!"

Wu Yong, the left prime minister who sat at the head of all officials, heard the words of joy from his trusted officials beside him, but he did not show any happiness on his face. Instead, his expression became a little gloomy.

His eyes moved around, seemingly casually glancing at Zhao Qian'an who was sitting in the front row.

The Zhao family of Donghai could actually give such a treasure to the second prince?
It seems that the Zhao family has noticed something and is finally going to take sides?

"Humph!"

He snorted lightly, picked up the wine on the table, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

What made him angry was not that the Zhao family of Donghai wanted to get a piece of the pie.

He was angry because the emergence of the Zhao family from the East China Sea caused the Second Prince to gradually slip out of his control!

And his grandson really believed what outsiders said. When he encountered problems, he did not come to his grandfather for help, but instead went to seek help from the Zhao family.

It’s a pity that although the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus is precious, it may not play such a big role tonight.

……

On the high throne, Emperor Tianwu looked at the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus presented to him by the Fifth Marquis with a fiery gaze.

The nine-colored lotus lies quietly in the golden cup, like a dazzling and magnificent work of art, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

"Can this treasure really prolong your life?"

Emperor Tianwu murmured something and stretched out his hand to touch it, but his hand looked huge compared to the tiny lotus. He was afraid of damaging this rare treasure, so he did not dare to touch it.

Beside him, Shui Yuexian exclaimed softly: "Does this look like the holy medicine cultivated by Feng Xiao?"

"Fengxiao?"

When this name was mentioned, a hint of astonishment flashed in Emperor Tianwu's eyes.

Donghua asked in confusion: "Who is Feng Xiao?"

"The first imperial teacher of Daqian, the sworn brother of Emperor Guiyuan, and also a great Yangxian."

Shui Yuexian calmly explained Feng Xiao's origins to Donghua, then reached out and picked up the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus in the golden cup, fiddled with the lotus petals, pointed at the lotus platform inside and said, "Is there a seal here?"

The others came closer to take a look, and sure enough, on the lotus platform of the Jiufan Qinglian, there saw a small seal - Feng Xiao.

Donghua was surprised and said, "Daqian was founded thousands of years ago. Senior Feng Xiao should have died long ago. How could the sacred medicine he cultivated still be preserved until now?"

"Don't underestimate him. Although he may not be good at physical strength, his ability to create things is extraordinary. The magic weapons he created and the precious medicines he cultivated are still popular in the nine states of Daqian."

Shui Yuexian turned her head to look at Emperor Tianwu and said, "No one in the world knows this better than Your Majesty."

Emperor Tianwu smiled slightly but did not answer.

Of course he knew it, because the Emperor's Sword and the Emperor's Armor were both made by the first national teacher of Daqian.

Shui Yuexian placed the Nine Brahma Pure Lotus back on the golden cup, and as if she had confirmed something, she nodded and said, "This thing was most likely taken by the Second Prince from Zhao Qi'an."

"how you said that?"
