Chapter 76 Purple Clothes
In the imperial garden, the peonies were in full bloom, and everyone was looking at Zhou's mother.

Mother Zhou looked up at the sky and saw the sky was filled with purple air. She bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

After saying this, she took the imperial edict and, ignoring the purple robe presented to her by the chief eunuch, displayed the imperial edict towards the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

The vast energy of national destiny flew out like a dragon. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed. The long dragon flew into the sea, rolled up the mountainside thousands of feet high, and filled the sky with purple clouds.

The purple clouds are like rain, like a lake, like fog, like ice, like smoke, and like clouds.

Demonstrating the changes of the six qi of Taoism.

Mother Zhou rolled up the imperial edict again, and in the sky, vast purple clouds fell continuously. When the purple clouds fell beside Mother Zhou.

Mother Zhou held the imperial edict in one hand and threaded a needle with the other. The purple energy condensed into silk threads, which covered the yellow Taoist robe on her body layer by layer. After a while, she had woven a Daluo celestial robe with purple energy coming from the east.

In the heavenly clothes, the six qi change, the national destiny is woven into a brocade, and the brilliance is overflowing, which is wonderful beyond words.

When the Queen put on this heavenly dress, all the peonies in the garden were eclipsed, except for the peony on her head which was still bright red.

Zhou's mother bowed to the Queen Mother again and said, "I am truly guilty of borrowing the clouds from your garden. I hope you will forgive me."

But when she said she was guilty, there was no trace of fault in her eyes, and she was as calm as before.

I, Zhou Yulong, want to wear purple clothes. Why do I need worldly clothes given by others?

This time, even the queen was silent.

After a while, the concubine who had gained some experience whispered, "The celestial phenomenon."

The third-grade Taoist celestial being is no longer an earthly person, and has inherited the Taoist tradition of a saint. Even if the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty is very solid, the royal family must treat him with courtesy instead of bullying him, otherwise how will the practitioners in the world view him?
Not to mention that borrowing Yunxia was not a mistake. Even if it was a mistake, as long as it was not a heinous crime, the emperor would just laugh it off.

The Queen was silent for a moment, without showing any anger on her face. She suddenly took Zhou Yulong's hand and said, "Who says women are inferior to men? Seeing your elegance today makes all the Daoists in the world ashamed. A hundred years from now, the Daoists will regard you as their leader."

"He has not yet reached the third level, but he has seen the celestial phenomena. He is truly the first person in history."

As she spoke, she actually pulled Zhou Yulong to her throne and sat down with him.

The queen's throne was spacious enough for two people to sit on without feeling crowded.

Although Zhou Yulong was not good at calculating, he had a keen mind like a Taoist and could tell that the Queen Mother's praise was sincere, and these words of praise touched his heart.

What's more, the Queen Mother was able to point out that she had not reached the third rank. This kind of vision was far inferior to that of an ordinary third rank person.

······
In the wind and rain lake, Zhou Tieyi felt something in his heart. He looked up at the sky and saw the purple air rolling, which was a spectacular sight.

He whispered, "Astronomical phenomena."

However, it was not convenient for him to inquire about the matters of the Imperial Garden in Fengyu Lake, and suddenly he thought of an idea.

He glanced at the fish basket of the fourth prince Li Jing next to him. No longer hiding his incompetence, Li Jing fished desperately today. In a short while, there were seven or eight sixth-grade dragon fish in the fish basket.

As for dragon fish below the sixth rank, they simply cannot swim in this Wind and Rain Lake.

On the other hand, Zhou Tieyi himself, apart from relying on the golden words of the Great Xia Emperor and the Taoist magic of the Daming Palace Master at the beginning, was really casual about fishing. He just put the fishing rod without fishing line on the lake, and he didn't catch a single fish for such a long time.

Don’t you even look at what others are using to fish!

Some people used fifth-grade Taoist elixirs as bait, some used rare three-colored earthworms as bait, and some used dragon blood grass as bait...

That's what can really catch dragon fish in the lake.

Zhou Tieyi only made two thousand taels of silver a month, and he really couldn't afford to catch this much fish. But no matter how many fish he caught, the fish caught by others would eventually be decided through gambling.

The fourth prince Li Jing had already discussed the matter with Zhou Tieyi in advance. Now as soon as Zhou Tieyi saw his fish basket, he immediately knew what to do.

So he stood up and bowed to His Majesty the Great Xia, saying, "Father, I have something to ask of you."

His Majesty the Great Xia Emperor was originally bored with fishing. Just as he said, anyone who has been fishing for more than twenty years would find fishing boring. However, Zhou Tieyi's appearance today made him feel it was interesting.

So he looked at Li Jing and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"My Great Xia loves martial arts, and my father also used martial arts to build the country. I am not good at fishing for dragon fish, but I want to try my father's trick. I would like to have a bet with the retainers of my brothers and sisters to decide whether to keep or keep the dragon fish."

Daxia really likes gambling fights among its retainers. Zhou Tieyi knew about this on the first day he traveled through time.

The Emperor of Great Xia secured his throne by leading his troops to raid King Yuanmeng's tent, so it was absolutely not taboo for the Fourth Prince to say this.

Sure enough, the bored Emperor Daxia showed an interested look on his face while fishing, and looked at the small platforms around him. However, he did not speak directly. As the Queen said, this was the business of the younger generations, and as an elder, he should just watch the show and not interfere.

This proposal naturally met the wishes of the princes and sons of noble families present.

Just as Li Jing had discussed with Zhou Tieyi before, Zhou Tieyi stirred up the situation this month, and was known as the number one martial artist in the country, and he opened the sea faster than the champion Xiao Yuanshan.

No one knew whether it was true before, but if they could beat Zhou Tieyi in a bet, they would be able to suppress the arrogance of the Zhou family.

The Mei Qingchen incident happened.

In fact, everyone already believed that Zhou Tieyi would open the sea on the 9th.

That would further suppress Zhou Tieyi's arrogance.

Martial arts emphasizes bravery and perseverance.

If he doesn't take advantage of the fact that Zhou Tieyi is only at the ninth level of martial arts to dampen his arrogance, will he wait until Zhou Tieyi reaches the seventh level of martial arts, and then really use the drop of Qilin blood given by the Right General's Mansion to "plant the soul" in him before taking action?

That would be too costly.

Therefore, even the princes who were watching from the sidelines were ready to make a move.

After all, before this, even if Zhou Tieyi stirred up the situation in Tianjing, after the incident with the Confucian Mei Qingchen, smart people knew that Zhou Tieyi would not be able to stay alive for long.

However, the situation is changing rapidly and it is hard to keep up. Today, Zhou Tieyi presented a Taoist poem through the Palace Master of Daming Taoist Palace, which made the Emperor of Daxia laugh heartily and he said he would reward him handsomely.

Although Zhou Tieyi only asked for one dragon fish.

But this favor was remembered in the heart of His Majesty the Great Xia.

After all, an article that lasts for thousands of years cannot compare to an article that lasts for eternity.

So even if Mei Qingchen died kneeling in front of the Meridian Gate in the end, Zhou Tieyi would be killed.

He would definitely not be exiled eight thousand miles away to guard the border.

Then, combined with the sudden action taken by Li Jing, the King of Anle, everyone had to unite to suppress the arrogance of Li Jing and Zhou Tieyi.

King Anle?
It’s really hidden well!
Before coming to fish for dragon fish this time, all the princes brought their eighth- and ninth-grade elite martial artists with them just for this occasion.

Suddenly, a prince who was about the same age as Zhou Tieyi stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Father, I am willing to fight with my fourth brother's disciples!"
