Luo Yuheng's expression was cold, as if she was talking about something insignificant. "I gave a talisman to Chu Yuanzhen."
After that, she closed her eyes and stopped explaining. Her attitude was just right.
"It was given to Chu Yuanzhen …" The Yuanjing Emperor's expression eased a little. If that was the case, it didn't matter who used the talisman to summon the Grand Tutor.
However, the Yuanjing Emperor didn't completely dispel his doubts.
He said in a low voice, "Grand Tutor, although you and the Earth Sect are from the same sect, you are also the Grand Tutor of Daibun. Renzong is the national religion of Daibun. You know that I sent people to fight for the lotus seed, but you … "
He looked angry.
Faced with the Yuanjing Emperor's question, Luo Yuheng was silent for a moment. Then, she sighed.
"To tell you the truth, the Earth Sect has had an accident in recent years. The Earth Sect's Daoist Leader was entangled in karma and fell into the path of evil, which affected most of the disciples.
"Only a small number of disciples were not affected due to certain reasons. These disciples who escaped formed an organization called the Heaven & Earth Society. They secretly recuperated, accumulated their strength, and tried to clean up the sect.
"The Nine-Colored Lotus Seed is very important to them. A while ago, the Heaven & Earth Society asked Chu Yuanzhen to contact me, hoping that I could help them.
"Maintaining the continuity of the three sects is our common goal. Even the Grand Forgotten Tenzō has the same idea."
After a pause, Luo Yuheng stared at the Yuanjing Emperor and said with a faint smile, "Don't you know, Your Majesty?"
"This is the reason why she helped … The talisman was given to Chu Yuanzhen. It has nothing to do with Xu Qi'an. Am I being too sensitive?" As for Xu Qi 'an's involvement in the matter of the nine-colored lotus, it was very likely that he owed Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen a favor. On that day, the two of them had stopped my imperial army … Emperor Yuan Jing's thoughts turned and he shook his head calmly.
"How do I know the secrets of the Earth Sect?"
The two ended their conversation and began to meditate as usual. Then, Luo Yuheng explained the profound meaning of Taoist scriptures and the truth of immortality. An hour later, the Yuanjing Emperor left the Lingbao Temple.
Returning to the palace, the Yuanjing Emperor drank a cup of tea served by a eunuch.
"Go and do two things. First, get Heavenly Secrets to investigate that monk's background and try to capture him alive. Second, summon Assistant Minister of War Qin Yuandao to the palace to see Us. "
The old eunuch nodded and asked tentatively, "If I may be so bold, how does Your Majesty intend to deal with Xu Qi 'an?"
The old eunuch nodded and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Xu Qi'an?"
The old eunuch felt that he would probably start with Xu Qi'an's second uncle, cousin, or other family members.
His Majesty did not say anything. It meant that he had not thought of how to deal with Xu Qi 'an, or that he had not thought about it for the time being … The old eunuch was a little confused. Before he left the palace, he had a gloomy look on his face as if he wanted to kill Xu Qi' an's entire family.
But now, he was acting in a carefree manner.
…
"Holy shit!!!"
Xu Qi 'an didn't need to look at himself in the mirror to know that his face was crumbling and he was dumbfounded …
Xu Qi'an had three secrets: Time Travel, Luck, and Divinity.
He had been hiding these three secrets carefully. The First Generation and the Current Supervisor were both chess players and people involved in the incident. He couldn't hide them and didn't need to.
Other than that, Xu Qi'an only revealed the Luck to the old man from the Wulin League. There were two reasons: The Taiping Saber was too big of a commotion and couldn't be hidden; he wanted to ride on someone powerful to increase his ability to fight.
As for Wei Yuan, Xu Qi'an trusted him. But because he couldn't see through this wise and deep Nation Scholar, he didn't dare to be honest.
He didn't expect that Wei Yuan already knew that Monk Divinity was in his body.
"Duke Wei … How did you know?" Xu Qi'an's voice was a little hoarse.
Wei Yuan said lightly, "Let's talk about it after we roll the die."
Xu Qi'an smiled bitterly and said, "There's no need to roll the die."
There was indeed no need. Wei Yuan didn't ask about the Initial Supervisor's information. Instead, he asked about the Sealed Artifact under Sampo. This was telling him that he knew all his secrets.
Let's just play the card.
After taking a deep breath, Xu Qi'an said, "When I was in Sword Province, I met a young man named Ji Qian. We had a conflict and I killed him. After asking the spirit, I found out that he was from the royal family from five hundred years ago. After Emperor Wuzong purged the emperor's side, they were protected by the Initial Supervisor and have been lying low ever since.
"The Shanhai Pass Battle was instigated by the Initial Supervisor and the leader of the Heaven Venomous Tribe. Their goal was to steal the fate of Daibun and support the royal family from five hundred years ago to ascend the throne.
"They have been hiding in a place called Xu Province. I suspect that it's a lawless place that's out of the control of the imperial court …"
He recounted the process of inquiring about the spirit, temporarily hiding the fact that he possessed providence.
Wei Yuan listened quietly and said slowly, "That's why the Initial Supervisor joined forces with the barbarians to deal with the King of Zhenbei. Is it my turn next? "
Xu Qi'an was convinced. "Yes."
Wei Yuan sighed. "I didn't expect the Initial Supervisor to be alive. You reminded me that after Emperor Wuzong seized the throne, he secretly sent his trusted aides to search for something all over the world. For this, he didn't hesitate to sail out to sea. This matter wasn't recorded in the official history, but it was recorded in the biography of a great scholar. "
"The First Supervisor has been hiding for so long. First, he didn't get rid of the King of Zhenbei and me. Second, he can't take back the Luck in your body for the time being … Eh, why are you crawling under the table?"
Wei Yuan asked with a faint smile on his face.
"I'm looking for Duke Wei's leg. Let me hug it for a while …"
Xu Qi'an said wittily to hide the turbulent emotions in his heart.
Knock, knock! Wei Yuan knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "Come out!"
Xu Qi'an crawled out from under the table and sat upright. "Duke Wei, you know everything. You know everything."
Wei Yuan sighed.
"You're someone I've taken a fancy to. I'll carefully investigate and monitor anyone I want to train. Your extraordinary cultivation speed, the Supervisor's favor toward you, the Spirit Dragon's attitude toward you, the appearance of the Confucian School's carving knife during the Buddhist battle, and the carving knife when you killed the Lord Protector. Hmm, isn't the fact that you keep rolling full dice also proof? There are still many, many flaws in your body. These scattered pieces of information are nothing if I look at them individually.
"But I know you too well. When I put all the clues together and combine them with some secrets I already know, I can guess most of it after a simple review.
"After you won the Battle of Heaven and Man, you came to ask me about the details of the Shanhai Pass Battle. I asked you if there was anything else you wanted to say. I thought you would tell me the truth, but you chose to hide it. "
Xu Qi'an opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but he didn't think it was necessary. He said dejectedly, "What about the Sealed Artifact under Sampo?"
"The Buddhist battle also exposed the fact that you have the Sealed Artifact and that you have the light from providence. Of course, that alone isn't enough. There must be other evidence. For example, how did you kill the level-four Barbarian leader and snatch the Princess away? "
Wei Yuan sneered. "Since I know you have the light from providence, then there's no need to guess who the mysterious master in Chu Zhou who can use the Nation Suppressing Sword is. In fact, before we went north, I wasn't sure if the Sealed Artifact was with you.
"You hid it well. Do you trust the Supervisor and that Buddhist heretic that much?"
Xu Qi'an shook his head. "The Supervisor is an immortal. It doesn't matter if I believe him or not. As for the Sealed Artifact, his Dharma name is Shenshu. I promised him to keep it a secret. "
He told him about his agreement with Shenshu: to find out about Shenshu's past.
Wei Yuan pondered and said, "The Supervisor allowed the demons to break the seal on Sampo. I guess he set it up for you, to use him to shock the First Generation. As long as Shenshu is in your body, the First Generation won't dare to touch you. If I'm not mistaken, he is actively looking for a way to break the seal.
"I have some guesses about the Buddhist heretic's identity. It's most likely related to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and the Jiazi Demon Slaying Campaign. In the future, when you travel the world, you can go to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south and find the truth there. "
Huh? Shenshu was related to the Jiazi Demon Slaying Campaign? This was something Xu Qi'an didn't expect.
"So, how is Duke Wei going to deal with me?" Xu Qi'an probed.
After that, he stared at Wei Yuan, afraid to see the murderous intent in his eyes.
"I want to kill you, if I can." Wei Yuan put his hands in his sleeves and looked down at the table. His voice was low and calm.
"Being stuck between two generations of Supervisor, you don't know what to do. So, you might as well be honest with me. Your goal is to take a gamble and obtain my protection."
Blood on the first prick!
Xu Qi'an felt a little ashamed. That was indeed what he thought.
"If you want to ask if the Supervisor is trustworthy, I can't give you an answer because I don't know either. As for the Initial Supervisor, you don't have to be afraid. The one playing with him is the current Supervisor. You won't be the one making the moves. What you need to do now is to increase your rank and accumulate resources. "
After a pause, Wei Yuan's gaze turned gentle. He said in a low voice, "I will help you."
Hearing this, Xu Qi'an felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt his heart settle down.
He smiled and said, "Then I have something to ask Duke Wei."
Wei Yuan nodded.
Xu Qi'an said, "How to get promoted to Fourth Rank."
Wei Yuan's expression froze. He said in surprise, "You've reached Fifth Rank?"
Xu Qi'an nodded.
"In less than a year, Fifth Rank Transforming Strength …" Wei Yuan was lost in thought. After a long time, his pupils moved slightly and he recovered. He sighed.
"That's right. If you have great luck, you have a chance to reach First Rank. Unfortunately, you will have to walk the path of Great Ancestor and Wu Zong in the future. You may not know this, but luck is a double-edged sword. "
"Those who have luck can't live forever," Xu Qi'an said.
"You know a lot!" Wei Yuan had a complicated expression on his face.
Wei Gong, look at you now, it's as if you're saying, "Did you secretly take supplementary lessons behind my back?
Xu Qi'an laughed.
"Fourth Rank is a very important rank for a Warrior. It determines the path you will take in the future. Those who are good at swordsmanship will understand Sword Will. Those who are good at Saber will understand Saber Will. It can't be changed. "Wei Yuan said.
"The core of Fourth Rank lies in the word 'Will'. Will can also be called Dao. It is the Dao that Warrior will walk in the future. So, Warrior Second Rank is also called Dao Integration. Xu Qi'an, have you thought about the Dao you want to walk? "
"Duke Wei, is there a kind of will in this world called Freeloading …" Xu Qi'an said tentatively, "Does killing all the injustices in the world count?"
"That's ambition!" Wei Yuan said grumpily, "You shout to everyone you meet: Kill all the injustices in the world! And then they will succumb to your ambition? "
"…"
"The so-called will depends on the Warrior's violence. To be precise, it is the means of attack. Saber, spear, sword, halberd, fist, and so on. You use a saber, so naturally it is Saber Will. "
"How do I cultivate Saber Will?" Xu Qi'an asked humbly.
"I've told you before that starting from Fifth Rank, everything depends on understanding! You are talented and have a high level of understanding. You can control your body in a very short time and ascend to Fifth Rank. But some people are not talented and can never fully control their body's strength in their lifetime.
"As for how to comprehend Saber Will, the only thing I can teach you is experience. First, you have to reach the state of 'One with the Saber'. Simply put, you have to comprehend the profound meaning of the saber. This requires you to combine your own understanding of saber techniques. You have to accumulate it over time.
"Next, you have to integrate your beliefs into the saber. The Single Slice of Heaven and Earth that you cultivate is the belief of the creator of this technique." Wei Yuan said earnestly.
Yes, my Single Slice of Heaven and Earth is a type of Saber Will. The creator's belief is that there is nothing that cannot be cut with one slice. If there is, then run.
"Duke Wei, does this mean that I have already comprehended half of the Saber Will? Then, could I add my own things to the foundation of the Single Blade of Heaven and Earth? And make it my own 'intent'? "Xu Qi'an was pleasantly surprised.
"You are worth teaching." Wei Yuan smiled.
As the conversation came to an end, Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
"The time in the Stargazing Tower?" Xu Qi'an wasn't sure.
"Yes!"
Wei Yuan nodded. "The song you sang was very interesting. I still remember it. I stood in the strong wind, wishing I could wash away the pain in my heart. Looking at the sky, the clouds moved. With a sword in my hand, I ask who is the hero. "
His humming was very accurate.
"What happened next? I like this song very much. "Wei Yuan smiled.
"Well, what I've been most afraid of since I was young is being invited to the podium by my teacher to sing in public …" Xu Qi'an said, "I'll sing for you when Duke Wei tells me the story of you and the Empress."
…
After leaving the night watchman's office, Xu Qi'an rode his beloved filly into the brothel. He changed his appearance with a potion in the brothel before continuing his journey.
After walking around for a long time and confirming that no one was following him, he quietly knocked on the door of the outer room.
"Squeak ~ ~"
The courtyard door opened, revealing a plump old lady.
“???”
A series of question marks flashed in Xu Qi'an's mind. "Where is my Princess? The wife that I've spent so much effort to steal? The first beauty of Daibun?
How did she become an old maid?! "
"Who are you?"
The old maid stared at Xu Qi'an suspiciously. Her expression was quite unfriendly.
Xu Qi'an simplified his name and said, "My name is Xu Qian. Auntie, why are you in my house?"
"Your house?"
The old maid's eyes became even more suspicious. "Wait a minute!"
Without closing the door, she turned around and went in.
After about the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the old woman rushed out with a broom in her hand. She shouted angrily,
"You ungrateful dog, you actually chased me all the way here. This is under the feet of the Emperor. It's not a place for a dog like you to behave atrociously. "
The old maid swung the broom at him. Xu Qi'an ducked his head and dodged it. He took the opportunity to sneak into the courtyard.
The old maid roared angrily and chased after him to hit him.
The door of the main room opened. The Princess was holding a bowl of peanuts in her small hands. She leaned against the door and watched the show happily.
When the old maid saw her smiling face, she realized that there was something fishy. She held the broom and looked at Xu Qi'an doubtfully. Then she looked at the Princess.
"I'm really her man."
Xu Qi 'an explained. He looked at the young woman who was dressed in plain clothes and had a cheap jade hairpin in her hair. He walked over and knocked on her head. "Is it fun?"
The widow of the King of Zhenbei, the first beauty of Daibun, was beaten. Her face turned cold again.
She stubbornly ignored him and said softly, "Aunt Zhang, you go back first."
Aunt Zhang muttered a few words. She leaned the broom against the wall and walked out of the courtyard.
