Chapter 5 Palace Master Zhaixing, National Teacher Chen Moxi(1/2)
They rested in the old Taoist temple in the wilderness for one night. When the rain stopped the next day, they set off again and headed towards Langya City.
But Zhuo Bingchun's thoughts were a little heavier.
Perhaps Tang Wenliu just told him something he was worried about very often, but Zhuo Bingchun had a deeper understanding of Li Mengzhou's life experience. In fact, the question about His Majesty the Emperor and Jiang Tingyu were doubtful and had not been confirmed. Then there would naturally be the opposite truth. When did Li Mengzhou come into contact with the Shanwei Medicine Emperor, and what did Shanwei Medicine Emperor do to Li Mengzhou, it is something that cannot be ignored.
Zhuo Bingchun was thinking about the problem very seriously, but Tang Wenliu became much more relaxed. He just felt something was strange and did not really say that Li Mengzhou must have a problem. Moreover, his duty was to guard the border, and these things were not within the scope of his need to consider. Since he told Zhuo Bingchun about his questions, the next thing had nothing to do with him.
In the carriage, Li Mengzhou sat up, gently lifted the curtain, and looked at the scenery flashing outside. His face was quite pale, without any energy, only the pair of eyes were still bright.
In fact, what happened in Tianqi Wasteland is really bad.
Especially for him.
It even made him feel a little uneasy.
He didn't know what he would face when he returned to Langya City this time. He exposed some things in the Tianqi Wasteland. He couldn't just hope to be unaware of it, because that possibility is really small.
If it is normal, there is no problem with him using Bu Er Sword, but the matter in Tianqi Wasteland will inevitably be watched by the strong people in the world. Someone may realize the truth about Bu Er Sword and then calculate something. Those who have good intentions will naturally have malicious intentions.
He was still not fully prepared, and because Mr. Long's aura was pulled away by Lin Ganxiao, he was not sure whether he could still cross the threshold of the five realms. If he was caught by a malicious person here, he could easily kill him.
Of course, it is relatively safe in Langya City. After all, he still has the identity of Mr. Seven of Ligong Sword Court, but there is also Qin Chengyi in Langya City, which is not an absolutely safe place.
"Now I can only take one step at a time. If that time comes, I can only draw my sword."
......
There were many people gathered outside the southern gate of Langya. The ordinary people naturally didn't know what was going on. Even the storyteller could not find out what happened in the Tianqi Wasteland. The young people who entered the world practiced were suffering heavy casualties. There were many people who welcomed the return trip this time.
And in the palace hall, someone came into the palace to see the holy.
A faint aroma of tea lingers in the hall. His Majesty the Emperor flirts with his eyebrows deep in his brows as he reads the memorials.
Apart from the Tianqi Wasteland incident, practitioners from the Nantianmen Temple of Beiyan came to Jiangguo, and were also sorted out the information of each of them by the secret spies of Tianshu Courtyard and sent it to His Majesty the Emperor.
The Emperor was very clear about Li Mengzhou drawing a sword at the small south Tianmen in Mocheng, Dishui County. He just didn't know that Gushanke was involved in it. Even Tianshuyuan did not investigate it clearly. Gushanke had been avoiding the eyes of the world. If it weren't for a coincidence or accident, the Lord of Haitang Mountain would not have discovered the existence of Gushanke.
However, the practitioners of the Nantianmen Temple of the Temple were intercepted on the way to Jianjiayuan and thus transferred their destination, and were also sent to His Majesty the Emperor. However, the spy of Tianshu Courtyard still did not find out who the interceptor was.
It is not that the spys in Tianshu Academy are not capable, but that Gushanke is too powerful. He wants to hide. With the cultivation level of those spys in Tianshu Academy, how can he detect that Tianshu Academy is the strongest intelligence agency in the world, but it is just intelligence. They do not have the ability to explore the quietness of mountains and seas, and naturally they do not have the ability to explore things beyond their abilities.
The entanglement between Li Mengzhou and Lin Ganxiao in Tianqi Wasteland was also sorted out by the spy of the Tianshu Academy. Although in that situation, the spy of the Tianshu Academy could not get close to them, they still used other means to find out some keywords.
There are always people watching that scene. Some of them are unaffordable by the spies of Tianshu Academy, but if they want to find out the news, some of them have a way.
But the information they sorted out is not that detailed, but the keyword "Shanwai Yaohuang" is very clear.
The moment Li Mengzhou arrived at the capital, Jiang Tingyu sent a secret agent of Tianshuyuan to Shuning Town. Otherwise, it would be difficult to know the identity of "Fusheng". However, no matter what was related to Shanwai Medicine Emperor, he was involved in Li Mengzhou and Shanwai Medicine Emperor, Jiang Tingyu decided to go to Shuning Town in person.
His Majesty the Emperor is also very clear about what happened in the Tianqi Wasteland, although only those present knew about the people, the world's strong practitioners were also watching, and more or less people would notice the four words "The Medicine Emperor outside the Mountain".
With Lin Ganxiao's appearance, the world's vigilance towards people outside the mountain has increased a lot. Mr. Qi of Ligong Jianyuan once seemed to have had contact with the Medicine Emperor outside the mountain, which was something that had to be cared about.
Perhaps no one would make things difficult for Li Mengzhou before he could figure out the truth, but it was only a matter of time before he could find out the investigation. Every time he thought of this, His Majesty the Emperor had a headache. After all, the people outside the mountain were not the affairs of Jiang Guo’s family, and the whole world was paying attention.
In fact, there is nothing worth caring about in itself. Everything depends on Lin Gan laughing's attitude, which made Li Mengzhou's incident of having been exposed to Shanwai Medicine Emperor, which became a little unusual.
An eunuch came out of the hall, lowered his head, knelt on the ground in front of His Emperor, and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the National Master is asking for your visit!"
The national teacher of Jiang State is Chen Moxi, the lord of Zhaixing Mansion.
He has been in seclusion for a long time and has seen through the realm above the five realms. This time he left the emperor's Majesty's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Please!"
Chen Moxi is an old man with gray hair, but his face is very young and has a typical childish face. He is thin and has a very energetic whole. He walks slowly. Although he is outside the quiet mountains and seas, Chen Moxi has created a new cultivation faction after all, and his status in the world of cultivation is also very transcendent, and no one dares to underestimate him.
"Greetings to Your Majesty." Chen Moxi bowed slightly.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have improved a lot, and said, "Has the national ranks been discovered through the five realms?"
Chen Moxi bowed again and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have not been able to break the barriers of the five realms, but I have stood in front of that barrier. If I break Xuanming, it will be meaningless to continue to retreat with just one opportunity. Although I am still in the five realms, I am invincible under Xuanming."
His Majesty the Emperor was a little disappointed, but he still said with a smile: "The State of Jiang is in turmoil and the national army is out of seclusion, which is a great blessing for our country."
Chen Moxi was able to understand His Majesty’s thoughts and said lightly: “I know about Tianqi Wasteland, and I know that Lin dared to laugh. He fell from the five realms and still had half his foot above the five realms. Although I failed to break the barriers of the five realms, it was equivalent to stepping into Xuanming with half his foot."
The meaning of failing to break the barriers of the five realms and stepping into the mysterious life with half a foot is naturally completely different.
His Majesty the Emperor knew that he had misunderstood Chen Moxi just now. Even if Chen Moxi is really still in the fifth realm, he would have to enter Xuanming anytime and anywhere, and it was equivalent to transcending the five realm categories.
"Please sit down by the national master." His Majesty the Emperor smiled and reached out to Chen Moxi. An eunuch brought a stool and hurriedly retreated.
After Chen Moxi thanked him, he sat upright and said, "Lin Ganxiao is hiding deeply, especially when he arranged for Zhuge Dan to hide in the palace. I know what Your Majesty is worried about, but I think that instead of worrying about whether there are still strong people outside the mountain hidden like Lin Ganxiao in the world, it is better to make Langya City as solid as the golden soup first. As long as Langya is not broken, our Jiang Kingdom will be undefeated. Even if there are strong people outside the mountain appear, we have the ability to deal with it."
Lin Ganxiao's appearance was indeed sudden, and the battlefield was in the Tianqi Wasteland. The first one to fight were the strong cultivators and the young men guarding the Tianqi Wasteland. Although they paid some price, Lin Ganxiao was unable to accomplish anything. Moreover, the real strong men in Jiang Kingdom have not appeared. It is indeed not a big threat to the entire Jiang Kingdom, but they are just a little scared.
If Lin Ganxiao was still Lin Ganxiao during the Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon-Demon
Maybe Master Wunian has some insight, but that is just maybe and cannot be guaranteed as a necessary guarantee.
Because Lin Ganxiao needs to return to the fifth realm and also needs to rely on Luo Qingming's power, he has no ability to break the barrier to destruction in the short term. It is precisely because Lin Ganxiao has fallen into the realm that the strong people in the world can sit firmly as if they are very clear that Lin Ganxiao cannot do anything.
But I have to worry about it. If there are also strong people outside the mountain like Lin Ganxiao hidden in the world and have not fallen to the realm, it would be a great disaster. Moreover, most of the people participating in the war in the Tianqi Wasteland are cultivators from the Jiang Kingdom, so it is normal for His Majesty the Emperor to worry about this.
Moreover, the world is so big that only people outside the mountain appear in Jiang Kingdom, which is also the key to worrying His Majesty the Emperor.
Chen Moxi's words also made His Majesty understand that it is meaningless to just worry about nothing. As long as the Jiang Kingdom is strong enough, even if a strong man from outside the mountain makes a comeback, it will not affect the foundation of Jiang Kingdom.
"What are the countermeasures for the national teacher?"
Chen Moxi said lightly: "Opening the Thousand Sea Realm will allow the younger generation of practitioners to enter the Thousand Sea to realize, especially those young monks who are already at the peak of the fourth realm. They can use their luck to have a high probability of crossing the threshold of the fifth realm and increasing the overall strength of our Jiang Kingdom. As for letting the young practitioners of the world enter the Thousand Sea together, it doesn't matter. After all, there is a limit on their number, and our Jiang Kingdom has never been so stingy."
......
Although the downpour that swept the whole world had stopped, there was still a wetness in the world that never dissipated for a long time. The smoke in the imperial study room made the hall warm and dry. It was the most comfortable state. The Queen moved her lotus steps lightly and came to the side of His Majesty the Emperor. She made tea herself, and every step was very serious. The appearance reflected in His Majesty the Emperor's eyes was the most beautiful appearance in the world.
The Queen could naturally notice the look of His Majesty's infatuated eyes. She pursed her lips and chuckled, handed the brewed tea to His Majesty's hand, and said softly: "The opening of the Thousand Sea Realm is something Jiang Guo does every few years, but the national teacher suggested opening the Thousand Sea Realm at this time, and it seemed a little hasty."
His Majesty the Emperor took the teacup and gently grabbed the empress's tenderness, let her sit beside her, and said, "Chen Moxi is a very ambitious person. At that stage of the demon-slaying period, the father was sitting in this position. I had not been born yet. That should be a wonderful world, but I had no chance to meet him."
"Xue Wangyou, Chen Moxi and Li Daoling both emerged at that time and were the best among the younger generation. Now that Li Daoling is dead, Xue Wangyou and Chen Moxi are also old, but they are still people in Jiang Guo's position."
"Chen Moxi wants to be the first, but he is never the first. Now that he is ahead of Xue Wangyou, I can feel his pride. It is indeed necessary to open the Qianhai Realm. I still believe that even if Chen Moxi has ambitions, he will not do anything to harm Jiang Guo if he is not in the court."
His Majesty the Emperor drank a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, gently hugged the queen's shoulder, and the queen also hid in His Majesty's arms and said softly: "When it comes to Lin Ganxiao, the world is probably clear about what our Jiang Gong is doing. There has been news from Tianshu Court that young people have set off in all countries. Perhaps as His Majesty said, opening the Thousand Sea Realm is imminent, but people outside the mountain are concerned about the whole world. They are just watching the fun, which makes our Jiang Kingdom in the center of chaos, and I am afraid that there are other thoughts."
His Majesty the Emperor hugged the queen tightly and said, "Except for Northern Yan, although the world is relatively peaceful, they are actually waiting for the opportunity. The Jiang Kingdom cannot be destroyed. It does not mean that they do not want it, just because Langya City is indestructible and there are academies in the countries."
"The State of Jiang is already at the center of the world, so it must be surrounded by enemies. During my father's time, Jiang's State almost experienced the disaster of destroying the country. I have always been very clear that only by making Jiang's State strong enough can the enemy on all sides be afraid of being attacked. However, Jiang's State was not strong enough, and just barely protected itself."
"If you guard it, you will be as solid as a golden soup, but you have no power to attack. But when can you guard it? I am not as good as my father, so I can only try to be as strong as possible in my lifetime. Otherwise, if I go too, the Jiang Kingdom will be really over."
Jiang Kingdom has a vast land and is in a place that must be fought for in the world. It is difficult to get rid of the situation of making enemies on all sides. Even if some dynasties remain neutral and are unwilling to participate in the war, it is of little significance to Jiang Kingdom. Jiang Kingdom is a hot commodity. There will always be people who want to take a bite, but how can they easily trust other countries?
In addition to the vast territory of Jiang's country, it is Langya City and Academy. Langya City is protected by the inner and the academy, but the academy does not mean that there is no problem. His Majesty the Emperor absolutely trusts Lihua Academy, but he really cannot fully trust those academies that have been rooted in other countries. Just as Yun Qingchuan belongs to the mountains, even the Lihua Academy will have problems, let alone those academies that are no longer considered Jiang people.
As an emperor, there is no way to trust anyone easily, and you must have a backup plan.
......
The carriage was driving very smoothly. At least Li Mengzhou, who was sitting in the carriage, didn't feel anything. He regained some strength a little, but he still felt a little heavy. Moreover, his current appearance was a bit unbearable. The feeling of tearing his muscles was very uncomfortable. Even the bones were broken, and there were clear cracks on his skin, as if they were re-stitched, which was very strange.
Li Mengzhou's mood became much more relaxed by smelling the breath belonging to the capital. He was not worried about gains and losses, not very excited, but very calm.
He liked Langya City and even thought about living here forever because he had found the feeling of a young man here, so he didn't have to worry about life and death. Even if the life and death issues were always entangled with him, he could always find opportunities to forget it. That might seem childish and not consistent with his original appearance, just like his character collapsed, but that was indeed the feeling he had always wanted to find.
Unfortunately, that feeling has become a thing of the past forever. After all, youth must pass. Even if his youth comes later and shorter, there are more or less things worth remembering. Thinking about it this way, it will be enough.
Returning to the capital or coming to the capital again is different from the first time he came here. At that time, he was more like an innocent boy. He saw the prosperity of the world for the first time instead of being dark and dirty everywhere. Maybe he was not naive, but just hoped that he was very naive, because that was the little boy.
And this time I came back, I was the real Li Mengzhou. He no longer needed that innocence, and it was time to go back to the past.
The sound of horse hooves approached. Outside the south gate of Langya City, there were soldiers guarding the city and disciples from each practicing mountain gate. They had different outfits and stood in different directions, including the fourth Mr. Ning Haoran from Ligong Jianyuan.
He was still the same as before, but his body became weaker.
The carriage stopped outside the south city gate.
Li Mengzhou lifted up the curtains, stared at the fourth senior brother's figure, and frowned slightly.
He noticed that the fourth senior brother was in a very unusual state.
It was like a natural nature that returned to simplicity and a normal person with no cultivation.
The road was filled with wetness, and the green mountains outside the city were also shining with crystal clear after the rain, and the city walls were a little wet. The rain was very heavy, and the wetness didn't dissipate so easily.
There were also trees on both sides of the road, but they had been cleaned up, but there were still traces to be found.
Xiao Zhinan returned to the Immortal Palace Inn, Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng and others also returned, Tang Wenliu attacked the Sei Sheng, and Li Mengzhou did not return to Chaosi Lane as soon as possible, but followed Zhuo Bingchun and Ning Haoran along the small road outside the city and headed straight to Ligong Jianyuan.
The autumn rain is desolate, and the cold wind blows in the green mountains, bringing waves of earthy fragrance.
The carriage was moving forward slowly, Zhuo Bingchun was sitting on the shaft, Jiang Zihua and Ye Jinyu were also in another carriage, while Ning Haoran was walking next to him, his pace was the same as the speed of the carriage.
The rain stopped, but there were still water droplets on the leaves being blown off by the wind, splashing faintly on Li Mengzhou's face. He looked at Ning Haoran through the window and said in a deep thought: "Senior Brother Fourth has broken through the realm?"
Ning Haoran smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not about breaking the realm, but about falling into the realm."
Li Mengzhou frowned, "Why?"
He had not yet known that Mr. Third and Mr. Fourth of Ligong Jianyuan had gone to Qinghai Town, Dongjun, and something happened there, which was a very bad thing.
Ning Haoran remained silent about Li Mengzhou's questions.
In the carriage that followed, Ouyang Shengxue also frowned and looked at Ning Haoran. He could sense that Ning Haoran must have encountered something, otherwise it would be impossible for him to fall into the state.
To be continued...
