Because the Beggar Gang deliberately blocked the news, the battle on Beggar Island did not spread too much. The royal family of the Northern Song knew the inside story, but they also cooperated with the Beggar Gang to block the news.
Today's Northern Song was already in troubled times. Neither the Beggar Gang nor the royal family wanted this kind of thing to spread, so they just needed to digest it internally.
The Lord Virtuous the Eighth's mansion covered a large area, like a garden, with pavilions, terraces, jade ramparts, waterside pavilions, winding streams, row upon row of gorgeous buildings, quaint pavilions, and all kinds of rare flowers and plants were planted in the garden. There was a star pattern tactical deployment to create an environment suitable for the growth of exotic flowers and plants all over the country, and the fragrance of flowers filled the garden.
As an idle lord, Lord Virtuous the Eighth had been in a semi-idle state in the past ten years, planting flowers and grass, and playing with fish and insects. Only when the Northern Song Empire encountered major events would the emperor summon him to ask about national affairs.
It could be seen that he was still very trusted by the emperor of the Northern Song.
However, now that the Northern Song was in a precarious situation and rebellious kings were frequently rising, the number of times that Lord Virtuous the Eighth entered the palace had increased. Especially after he returned to the capital this time, he went to the palace to meet the emperor, and it took him a day and a night to return to the mansion.
"Is Sage Li still there?" Lord Virtuous the Eighth asked as soon as he came back.
Wang Shiyu massaged her adoptive father's shoulders and said with a smile, "Brother Mu is in closed-door training in the backyard of the mansion. He gained something from the battle on Beggar Island, so he needs a few days of quiet meditation. It will take about half a month before he comes out."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard about the battle on Beggar Island in the palace. Sage Li is really a genius. Since his debut, he has never been defeated. It's incredible. Is he really 15 years old this year? Is he the reincarnation of an old immortal? "
Wang Shiyu giggled and said, "I can guarantee that he is absolutely not. He has unparalleled opportunities, and he is a natural martial arts genius, so he can make such rapid progress."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth said, "It can't be described as a genius. In this world, there has never been a lack of martial arts geniuses, but it can be said that he can cultivate to the Great Sage at the age of 15, which can be said to be unprecedented."
Wang Shiyu said, "That's true."
She couldn't help but sigh with emotion. She told him about the inscription on the stele in the Daoyin Temple and how Li Mu sensed it. She said, "Over the years, countless people have seen that stele, but only Brother Mu can trigger the true meaning of it."
However, she kept the fact that the Tao Te Ching was written by the ancestors of Earth a secret, because Li Mu had told her that the identity of an Earth resident might represent a kind of danger on that planet.
"Oh? There's such a thing? "Lord Virtuous the Eighth's eyes lit up.
He knew far more about the Daoyin Temple and the stele than Wang Shiyu did. It involved some secrets of the royal family of the Northern Song. According to some legends, once the secret on the stele was cracked, something big would happen.
The royal family of the Northern Song once attached great importance to it.
But later, after a thousand years, no one had cracked the mystery. Some people in the royal family thought it might be a rumor, so they gradually didn't pay much attention to it. But unexpectedly … this legendary prophecy was actually imprinted on Li Mu.
"By the way, I just remembered something. I have to go to the palace again."
He got up and, without caring about anything else, ordered people to prepare a carriage and went to the palace again.
Wang Shiyu looked confused.
Her adoptive father just came out of the palace.
"Woof, little sister, let's play the game of picking up the ball." The Husky came in with the head of the demonized Liang Zhi in its mouth.
These days, it was very interested in the head. It never got tired of playing the game of picking up the head, oh, no, picking up the ball.
The demonized Liang Zhi had been tortured into a psycho. When he saw the Husky, he showed a flattering smile on his face. There was no trace of the arrogance of a disciple of the Blood Sea in the universe who had practiced the Blood Eyes.
"Okay." Wang Shiyu was also very happy.
As old friends on the earth, the man and the dog had a tacit understanding. Wang Shiyu ordered people to get a large slingshot in the mansion to eject the head … Oh, no, to eject the flying ball.
More than a dozen guards in the Master Realm pulled the slingshot. Wang Shiyu put the demonized Liang Zhi on it and then chose the direction.
In a courtyard of the mansion.
Ming Yue Guang sat on the roof with her bare feet, bored and helpless. She held her chin and kicked her white and tender feet in the air.
She was very active and liked to go crazy. Especially in Lin 'an, the capital of the Northern Song, where flowers were blooming, she couldn't wait to rush into the city and have fun …
However, Qing Feng was in closed-door training in the room below, saying that he was going to refine something.
So, Ming Yue had to stay to protect him.
"I said that from now on, I must protect you from any harm. As the leader of the largest gang in the Northern Song, I will definitely keep my word."
She sat, holding her chin, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and couldn't help but smile.
She wanted to protect Qing Feng.
Because before the Young Master made his fortune, the three of them were down and out and often did not know the next meal. It was Qing Feng who begged, performed, helped others write documents, ran errands, and even carried sacks to make money to support her and the Young Master.
At that time, it was Qing Feng who protected her, who was naughty and confused.
Now, it was her turn to stand up.
"I have become sensible."
Ming Yue said to herself in her heart.
…
…
Time went by day after day.
Ten days later.
In the secret room, Li Mu was surrounded by the qi of the Southern Fire Emperor and the Eastern Wood Emperor. One was green and the other was red, which was very beautiful, reflecting his angular face.
The natural qi cultivated in the Xiantian Skill was unique, far better than any magic skill or secret method in the world.
In the past ten days, Li Mu had been trying to break through the third level of the Xiantian Skill.
It had been some days since he reached the top of the second level. He had always been practicing the Xiantian Skill hard, but his progress was slower than expected. But this time, in the battle with the two Extra-terrestrial Devils, he opened the Third Eye to assist him in the battle, and finally gained a lot.
In the past few days, he had been polishing his spirit and his Sea of Consciousness. In the Mud-pill Palace, the spiritual Sea of Consciousness was surging, like the roar of Taoist Sound.
Suddenly, the Third Eye between Li Mu's eyebrows opened automatically.
The Third Eye was originally just a gap without a pupil, but at this moment, a light purple pupil was slowly formed, like a nebula vortex, and the light purple light was twisted like the mouth of a spring. In the end, a light purple pupil was finally formed.
It was also at this moment that Li Mu opened his eyes.
"The third level of the Xiantian Skill …"
After entering the third level of the Xiantian Skill, the speed of cultivating natural qi was faster, and there were more routes of the natural qi in the body. In the future, every two hours of cultivation was equivalent to 20 hours of cultivation before, and it could nourish the body more deeply, because the more routes of the natural qi in the body, the nourishment of the body could be more perfect.
The cultivation of natural qi and the body complemented each other.
As the saying goes, lonely Yang does not grow, and lonely Yin does not grow. In this world, many magic skills that only cultivated the body or only cultivated natural qi could only be unorthodox in the martial arts world in the universe.
The Xiantian Skill was an auxiliary method for internal cultivation, which could enhance spiritual force.
After entering the third layer, Li Mu only felt that a stream of mysterious moral knowledge, as if it was naturally formed, automatically appeared in his mind, which was absolutely not so obvious when he broke through the first and second layer of the Xiantian Skill.
"Purple Thunder Eye!"
That was the mystery contained in the third level of the Xiantian Skill.
As soon as the Heavenly Eye opened, purple strands of lightning immediately flowed in the pupil. The pupil was like a whirlpool. The Heavenly Eye's ability to see and predict was still there. As the purple pupil whirlpool spun faster, a beam of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder shot out of the Heavenly Eye.
"Oh no …" Li Mu was shocked and looked up. The roof of the secret room and the layers of tactical deployments were instantly penetrated, and the purple thunder shot into the sky.
What a terrible power!
If he looked directly at it just now, he was afraid that this beam of purple thunder was enough to melt the entire Lord Virtuous the Eighth's Mansion.
He quickly focused his mind, closed the Third Eye, and slowly comprehended its power and familiarized himself with the control method.
…
…
"What? The secret method on the Black Bull Stone Tablet was obtained by Li Mu? "
In the palace of the Northern Song, the emperor of the Northern Song was extremely shocked.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth said, "I also just learned that Li Mu has the power of the Great Sage, and it should be true that he can unlock the secret method of the Black Bull Stone Tablet. Your Majesty, this matter should be considered in the long term."
The emperor of the Northern Song nodded.
It was a handsome man who inherited the throne for only ten years, and he was only 30 years old this year. In this world, he was absolutely young, but there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and there were strands of silver hair on his temples, which made him look a little old. It was really because, in recent years, the power of the Northern Song had declined, and the feudal lords obeyed in public but opposed in private. The internal affairs of the Northern Song were stretched, which made him, the emperor, exhausted day and night.
"The opportunities on the stele have something to do with those relics before the epoch. Now that Li Mu has obtained one of them, his next step will definitely be to explore the Tianyi Palace." The emperor of the Northern Song said with great certainty.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth nodded and said, "Roughly so."
The emperor of the Northern Song said, "Take my seal and give it to Li Mu. He can take as many things in the Tianyi Palace as he can, and I will never stop him."
"This … Your Majesty, please think twice. After all, the things in there are …" Lord Virtuous the Eighth said in surprise.
The emperor of the Northern Song said, "The things in the Tianyi Palace belong to the royal family in name, but in fact, we can't get them. If Li Mu can get them, just give them to him. Some antiques hidden in dangerous places can be exchanged for the gratitude of a Great Sage. It's very worthwhile."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth thought for a moment and agreed.
The emperor of the Northern Song said again, "Li Mu is a peerless genius, the youngest Great Sage in history. Now he is at loggerheads with the Western Qin Empire, but with the Northern Song, because of Countess Huanzhu, we have a little favor. Uncle Virtuous the Eighth, if you can keep him in the Northern Song, it will be the time of our prosperity."
"I also thought about it. These days, Li Mu has been in my mansion, and I will do my best," said Lord Virtuous the Eighth.
The emperor of the Northern Song said, "If the time is right, I also want to see him."
