Not long after Zhang Yan let Fairy Bi Qi and her husband go down the mountain, a servant of the Heavenly Court was ordered by Heavenly Mother to come to Mount Li Wang. He carefully inquired about whether the Grand Supreme intended to accept Fairy Bi Qi and her husband as disciples.
In fact, if that was the case, both the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Mother could accept it. Even if the man was once a mortal, if he became a disciple of the Grand Supreme with Fairy Bi Qi, they would not be able to explain themselves.
Danguang was ordered to reply that the pair of children were fated with Mount Li Wang, so the Grand Supreme General took them in. As for Fairy Bi Qi and her husband, they had nothing to do with them and were sent down the mountain long ago.
After Heavenly Mother got the news, she did not dare to say anything more. She secretly sent people to search for her daughter.
After Fairy Bi Qi and her husband left Mount Li Wang, they were surprised to find that no one was following them.
This was because after the Second Prince learned his lesson, he was afraid of provoking Mount Li Wang, so he called back all his people and did not dare to care about this matter anymore. In addition, the Heavenly Court deliberately concealed this matter, so the two of them took this opportunity to escape safely.
The two of them still remembered what Zhang Yan said. They still had a calamity to escape, so they concealed their identities and temporarily lived in seclusion at the border of Yu Country.
Great Zhou Jiliang said.
Dust and sand filled the air, and yellow soil flew in the air.
Left Imperial Advisor Ying Kuang was wearing a loose robe and walking on the official road. Beside him was a lively young man who was about ten years old. He carried a tall bamboo basket on his back, and a small beast that looked like a cat or a fox squatted on it. Its black eyes blinked from time to time.
Ying Kuang looked in front of him. He said, "Pingsheng, there is a village 60 miles away. You and I will rest there."
The young man said, "Yes, Master."
The two of them walked very fast. They were dozens of miles away, but they arrived in less than an hour. However, when they entered the village, they saw that the place was in ruins. The fields were dry, and the villagers were in rags. Everyone's faces were ashen, and their expressions were numb.
The young man turned his head and saw that in front of a half-collapsed house, there was a skinny child looking at them with his finger in his mouth. Although he had followed his master all the way, he had seen such scenes everywhere he went. However, he still couldn't help but reveal a pained expression.
Ying Kuang said in a deep voice, "In this lifetime, the root of all the evil in the world today is the celestial beings. You must remember, in the future, when you have achieved success in your cultivation, you must kill all the celestial beings and cleanse the world!"
If what he said before was a bit extreme, then he wasn't wrong in the slightest.
There were many princes who had been conferred titles. In order to maintain the demon soldiers, he had to reach out to the celestial beings. This was because the Celestial Court did not only include the fiefdom under their rule, but also the people in the fiefdom. Therefore, from a legal point of view, all the celestial beings in the fiefdom were the people of the Celestial Court and had to offer sufficient offerings to the Celestial Court. On the other hand, the accumulation of deities came from the kingdoms in the mortal world, and the wealth of the kingdoms came from the commoners.
The burden was passed down layer by layer, and in the end, it was still the people at the bottom who suffered.
Especially in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were no states or prefectures that were still peaceful. Instead, there were more and more demons, and the people were destitute and homeless. The rich families formed camps to fight against the government, which led to a sharp decrease in taxes. The imperial court was pressured by the gods and had no choice but to step up their exploitation. Now, the country was in a state of decline.
Ping Sheng nodded his head seriously and said, "Master, I will remember." After thinking for a while, he asked, "Master, when can I kill the celestial beings?"
Ying Kuang looked in a direction, and after a while, he said in a deep voice, "The time is not right, let's wait a little longer."
Zi Que Mountain, where the ancestral court of the Path of Virtue was located.
The three Taishang transcended the world and were not involved in the mortal world. Therefore, they usually did not care about the affairs of the world, and all the affairs were handled by the disciples.
Among the disciples, the three Perfected Immortals, Zhi Le, Zhi Chang, and Zhi Sheng, were the leaders.
Today, it was Daoist Zhi Le's turn to preach. In the middle of the courtyard, it was filled with the disciples and cultivators of the sect. Among them, there were also some rogue immortals who were attached to the Path of Virtue. These people all came from the Heavens Continent to listen to the preaching.
Once the time was up, Daoist Zhi Le went up on stage to preach.
The preaching went on for a few days, and as the people listened to him, they gradually became engrossed in the preaching. Not long after, they felt like they had forgotten about everything, as if they had become one with the heavens. Then, a chime was heard, and they woke up Just Now, they heard the child saying, "Today's preaching ends, please leave."
The people stood up, bowed to the stage, and then left. However, some people who came from afar stayed on the mountain, preparing to listen to the preaching next time.
After Daoist Zhi Le returned to his abode, a child standing in front of the courtyard said with a clear voice, "Grandmaster, the Celestial Court's Second Prince is here."
Daoist Zhi Le stroked his beard and said, "How long has he been here?"
The child said, "Three days, he has been waiting at the foot of the mountain."
Daoist Zhi Le waved his horsetail whisk and said, "Call him up for a chat."
The child obeyed and left.
When Hao Qiu arrived at the hall, he saw Daoist Zhi Le, Daoist Zhi Chang, and Daoist Zhi Sheng sitting on cattail hassocks, high up on the jade platform, and on both sides stood hundreds of Daoists. Since he came here, he didn't dare to put on any airs as a Celestial Court's Prince, so he put away his arrogance and went forward, cupping his hands, and said, "Celestial Court's Prince Hao Qiu greets the three Celestial Masters."
Daoist Zhi Le said in a warm tone, "Why did the Celestial Court's Prince come here?"
Hao Qiu took a deep breath, and showed an expression of righteous indignation, he said, "Reporting to the three Celestial Masters, ever since I was given the title by my father, everything was going smoothly for me to manage my fief and to recruit people, but not long ago, the Supreme Sect of Forgotten Li Mountain suddenly came to my fief and slaughtered my servants, causing my house to be empty, so I came to seek justice from the Celestial Masters."
The more he spoke, the angrier he got, and towards the end, his tone also involuntarily became higher.
Daoist Zhi Sheng, who was sitting on the left, said lightly, "What kind of justice do you want?"
Hao Qiu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to say the words that he had prepared to say. His eyes darted around for a moment, then he said carefully, "I don't want anything else, but if the Forgotten Li Mountain continues to make things difficult for my family, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to ascend to the throne in the future," he paused, then slowly raised his head, "I'm afraid that the Celestial Masters wouldn't want to see that happen, right?"
Taoist Zhi Le chuckled.
Hao Qiu, on the other hand, felt a little guilty for no reason.
Daoist Zhi Le smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this. What kind of person is the Supreme Sect, why would he make things difficult for you? This matter was caused by the carelessness of one of my disciples, who provoked the Forgotten Li Mountain. You happened to be there, so this happened. In fact, you've taken the blame on his behalf. "
Hao Qiu was stunned. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he knew that he was implicated, so he instantly became braver and said, "Then, what do the Celestial Masters think we should do?"
Daoist Zhi Le said, "Your Highness, you can go by yourself. Since this matter was caused by the Dao of Virtue, we will naturally give you an explanation."
Hao Qiu didn't dare to say anything more and said, "Then, I'll leave it to the Celestial Masters." He cupped his hands and turned to leave the hall under the guidance of the boy.
At this moment, Daoist Zhi Le said, "Are Chang Zhou and Chang Ming back?"
A boy replied, "They came back a few days ago."
Daoist Zhi Le said, "Summon them to the hall."
Not long after, the two Daoists who guided Bi Qi Fairy to the Forgotten Li Mountain came to the hall and bowed to Daoist Zhi Le, saying, "Greetings, Master, Uncle-Masters."
Daoist Zhi Sheng suddenly asked, "Chang Zhou, Chang Ming, who let you two act on your own and lead Bi Qi Fairy to the Forgotten Li Mountain?"
Chang Zhou was stunned and involuntarily looked at Daoist Zhi Le, saying, "Master, didn't you let us act on our own and find a way to expose the Forgotten Li Mountain to the eyes of the world?"
Daoist Zhi Le sighed and shook his head, saying, "But when did I let you lead Princess to the Forgotten Li Mountain?"
"This …"
Chang Zhou opened his mouth. When Daoist Zhi Le sent him down the mountain, although he didn't say it explicitly, it was clearly what he meant. Otherwise, why would he tell him about Bi Qi Fairy?
But the situation now …
He subconsciously looked to his left and right and saw that both his senior and junior brothers were looking at him indifferently. His body trembled and he lowered his head, saying, "Yes, it's our fault."
Daoist Zhi Le sighed and said, "Since no one else was behind this and it was all your own doing, I can't be biased."
Daoist Zhi Sheng said coldly, "What else do you two have to say?"
Chang Zhou and Chang Ming looked at each other and bowed, saying, "It's our fault, we'll let you punish us."
Daoist Zhi Sheng said yes and waved the jade ruler in his hand, sealing the magic power of the two and said, "Guards, send them to the Astral Peak and detain them."
When Chang Zhou and Chang Ming heard the two words Astral Peak, their faces turned pale and they trembled. A few attendants came forward and carried them away.
The Daoists standing on both sides looked at them indifferently, there was no sympathy in their eyes.
In their opinion, since Chang Zhou and Chang Ming were pushed out to do something, they had to bear the consequences themselves. If it was done properly, nothing would happen. But now that there was a problem, the sect had to take care of it for you. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Of course, we'll punish you.
Daoist Zhi Le waved his horsetail whisk and said, "All of you can leave."
The disciples bowed and left the hall along the two sides.
After everyone left, Daoist Zhi Le turned his head to the right and said, "Patriarch has already decided on the matter of the Forgotten Li Mountain and wrote a letter here. Junior Brother Zhi Chang, to show his sincerity, send it to the Grand Elder of the Forgotten Li Mountain."
Daoist Zhi Chang stood up and bowed. "Yes, Dharma Decree."
He bade farewell to the two and left the Purple Arc Mountain. With a change of his Qi, he arrived in front of the border river after a few teleportations. After that, he didn't move forward anymore. Instead, he bowed and took out the letter. He said loudly, "Virtuous Dao Zhi Chang greets the Grand Elder. I'm here on the orders of my sect's Patriarch to deliver a letter."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young Daoist came out and bowed to him. "I'm Danguang, I, Fellow Daoist, please take a seat on the mountain."
Daoist Zhi Chang returned the greeting and politely declined. "No, I still have important matters to attend to and can't stay any longer. Here's the letter, please pass it to your sect's Patriarch."
He bowed again and left without asking for the result.
Danguang took a look at the letter and saw the dazzling light above it, causing his soul to shake. He couldn't help but frown, feeling that the other party didn't come with good intentions. He turned around and returned to the main hall on the mountain peak. He raised his hands and presented it. "Here's the letter, please read it, Patriarch."
