"Birthday!"

Just as Feng Ning Yan finished speaking, Shen Ling Jue suddenly remembered something from his childhood.

"When this Thousand Blessings Pavilion was being built, I was once bored in the palace, so mufei brought me to see a golden carp. I caught two fish at the edge of the pond, and when I returned to my mother, she was drawing a Fate Plate on the ground. I didn't understand, so I asked my mother what it was. She said it was Jue'er's birthday. It was then that I learned that the word "birthright" could be expressed in a form other than words. "

"Birthday …" Feng Ning Yan was pleasantly surprised, "Yes! The trigram was divided into Yin and Yang, and that was the opposite of positive and negative. The line segment represented a certain number, and that was the number of circles! The eight keyholes are all real. They form a set of passwords and all you need to do is to open them according to the direction of the word 'birthday'! "

Shen Ling Jue smiled and nodded his head, then turned to face the stone door, with a solemn expression, he handed over the golden key and pushed it into one of the keyholes.

Every time he opened a keyhole, the interior of the copper plate would emit a beautiful sound like the playing of a zither.

Feng Ning Yan only watched Shen Ling Jue's actions as her hand was already covered in sweat.

When they arrived at the last keyhole, the moment Shen Ling Jue pushed the key in, the three of them couldn't help but hold their breath, quietly waiting for the stone door to open.

The last machine finally made a "ka" sound.

The copper plate shook slightly before suddenly loosening. The two stone doors rumbled as they opened. Just like the time in the Hundred Miles Town tomb, a dazzling golden light like the rising sun shone from behind the door!

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan stood by the door. Such a dazzling light made them unable to close their eyes.

At that moment, a loud shout came from behind the door.

"This subordinate welcomes the new Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Interpretation!"

The three of them were shocked by the scene behind the door.

Behind the door was not an underground palace, but an open mountain stream.

Beneath their feet was a flight of steps carved from white jade. At the bottom of the steps was a throne made of pure gold, even more extravagant and extravagant than the dragon throne in the throne room.

In front of the throne, there were nine purple gold incense burners, each burning with a different color of light smoke.

Behind each of the censers, there were three people kneeling in a neat row, looking at Shen Ling Jue, their eyes were filled with anticipation, hot tears flowing down their cheeks, as if they had been waiting here for a long time, and finally came to this day.

They were neatly dressed in black robes with gold stripes on the ground. Three diamond-shaped symbols were embroidered on their right shoulders.

It was the emblem of the Pavilion of Interpretation, but the colors were different.

Feng Ning Yan looked at Shen Ling Jue in surprise: "The Hall of Interpretation! That is the symbol of the Pavilion of Interpretation! "

No wonder there was this sign embroidered on Bai Pi's shoes. It wasn't a coincidence.

At that time, Nangong Xingyao dared to meet Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan and help them unconditionally because of this symbol's rallying power.

Shen Ling Jue's gaze landed on the middle of the crowd kneeling down on one knee, a familiar figure appearing before his eyes.

"Nangong Xingyao." He shouted in a deep voice.

Among the people, a lady with a beautiful smile raised her head and smiled. She cupped her fist and said, "Subordinate Nangong Xingyao greets Pavilion Master! "Greetings, consort!"

Feng Ning Yan looked at her in disbelief: "Ah Yao?!" Why are you here! "

She, Shen Ling Jue and Luo Yunxuan spent a huge amount of effort to get here. Ah Yao obviously hasn't even entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Pavilion yet, how could he be here? How did these people get in?

Ah Yao laughed, "Because your subordinate and the other eight branch hall masters received the order to assemble, this means that for the past thirteen years, the successor of the previous Pavilion Master has finally returned. Therefore, your subordinates have all come from the vicinity of the capital to pay their respects to the new Pavilion Master. The other branch hall masters in the remote areas will receive the news tomorrow morning from the main hall. "

Not only did this answer not solve Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan's confusion, it actually made everything even more complicated and confusing.

Shen Ling Jue raised his hand to let everyone rise, and sat on the throne beside Feng Ning Yan, and asked: "What thunderous sound transmission? Who is the previous pavilion master, and who is the new pavilion master? "

"It's a long story." Ah Yao walked up and handed over a thick letter. It looked like it was indeed a 'long story'.

Luo Yun Xuan took the letter and placed it in Shen Ling Jue's hands. Shen Ling Jue opened it and looked at it, his expression suddenly becoming solemn and respectful.

The words on the note were personally written by Imperial Concubine Min, and were addressed to Shen Ling Jue.

The words were filled with reluctance towards Shen Lingjue, but it was also full of determination to leave.

Feng Ning Yan watched from the side, her heart exceptionally heavy.

Could this be Imperial Concubine Min's will?

Ah Yao sternly replied, "Actually, the previous Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Interpretation was neither Ah Yao nor my master. He was the prince's biological mother, Imperial Concubine Min. The person who established the Interpretation Pavilion is Imperial Concubine Min's father, Du Xiangyang. "

What Ah Yao said was clearly written in the notebook.

When the late emperor ascended the throne, he was only fourteen years old. He was the father of Imperial Consort Min Min, Du Shizhen.

In this chaotic era, when the chaos of the West Shu vassal lords had yet to settle and wars were still frequent in the southern border, the imperial court was in turmoil. The Prince's forces were eyeing the throne covetously.

In order to eradicate the former emperor's discord, Du Xiangguo set up the Speaker's Pavilion. Within half a year, the organization had been expanded to every corner of the world. Nothing could be hidden from his eyes and ears.

Because of the intelligence gathered by the Interpretation Pavilion, the late emperor quickly established a firm base, leveling off those powers who were ready to make a move, taking back the West Shu City and defeating the Southern Wilderness.

It was a pity that the late emperor died young, leaving behind the crown prince, Shen Chenxuan, the current emperor.

When the late emperor was on his deathbed, he left Du Shizhen to assist the four-year-old Shen Chenxuan.

Shen Chen Xuan was a skeptical person and feared the Du Family's influence. At the age of sixteen, he removed Du Shizhen from her post as Minister of Imperial Household and gradually weakened the Du Family's control over the affairs of the Imperial Court.

A few years later, when the crown prince had already been established and the Empress Zhen Family felt that the time had come, they plotted to get rid of the Du Family and Imperial Consort Min.

Emperor Shen Chen Xuan listened to the rumors and had his own selfish thoughts. Finally, he decided to make a move on the Prime Minister's residence.

Du Shizhen had always been very clear about Shen Chenxuan's suspicions and also knew that a catastrophe would befall the Du Family one day. He did not hand over the Pavilion of Interpretation to Shen Chenxuan, but instead passed the position of Pavilion Master to Imperial Concubine Min. He hoped that Imperial Concubine Min would control the Pavilion of Interpretation, so the Emperor would be fearful of her and treat her well and Shen Lingjue.

Imperial Consort Min, under the guise of constructing a garden and a Thousand Buddha Pavilion, set up a Thousand Buddha Pavilion at the Yuwang Mansion. She used numerous mechanisms to protect the secrets hidden underground and also constructed a secret passageway leading to the Hall of Interpretation in the capital city.

In order to allow the information to be transmitted more quickly, Imperial Concubine Min had even used her proficiency in mechanical arts to create a thunderbolt sound transmission system, allowing the emergency documents to be transmitted rapidly to the capital through underground transmission channels.

The past wasn't a secret among the hall masters of the Pavilion of Interpretation, but this was the first time Shen Lingjue and Feng Ningyan heard about the true origins of the Hall of Interpretation.

When Feng Ningyan saw this, she was filled with emotions, "So the Hall of Interpretation is not a sect that buys and sells intelligence. It's an intelligence organization established by the Du Prime Minister and used to serve the imperial government."

Ah Yao nodded, "That's right. Ever since Imperial Concubine Min left, the Pavilion of Interpretation fell silent. "My subordinates have been waiting for the chief instructor's thunderous message all this time, but my master hasn't been able to wait for it even after twelve years …"
