"Sir, Sect Master, there is a man at the foot of the mountain who claims to be Li Xiu and has handed over a greeting card asking for an audience!"
"What? You mean he calls himself Li Xiu? Where is the greeting card? Get it quickly!"
The elder gatekeeper handed over a letter of greeting, and as soon as the leader of the Seven Kills Sect opened it, a few ten numbers turned into runes like tadpoles, which suddenly penetrated into the eyes of the leader of the Seven Kills Sect.
The leader of the Seven Kills Sect almost fainted, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Invite Hero Li to the second hall quickly, don't be slow!" the leader of the Seven Kills Sect confessed, and went to the secret room in person to ask for an audience with the ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect.
The ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect received the invitation and was also dizzy, but he soon woke up and looked shocked.
But it turned out that the tadpole-like runes penetrated into their eyes, and a vast and boundless world appeared. In it, spiritual crystals formed mountains, spiritual springs formed seas, and birds and animals were formed by the gathering of spiritual energy. It was not a fairyland, but better than a fairyland.
"Old Ancestor, no wonder this boy was able to open the Dharma Realm at such a young age. It turns out he knows such a good place! Do you want to capture this boy first and send him to the place where the soul is nourished?" the leader of the Seven Kills Sect asked tentatively.
"Fuck you! If you dare to reveal even a single word, I will kill your whole family with my own hands!" The ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect glared and scolded, "The so-called non-visiting the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, he is far away in Hancheng, waiting with me.
We have never known each other, but he revealed such news to us. It seems that this matter is not unfounded. I want to meet him in person. If there is such a benefit, I will become his acquaintance and recognize him as a brother!"
"Yes, yes, I'll get ready right now!"
Li Xiu lingered in the Seven Kills Sect for a short half day and talked privately with the ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect for two hours. Then he made a big show of it. After the two bowed for eight times, they stood up and left. The ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect personally
After seeing each other for ten miles, we said goodbye.
Immediately, Li Xiu went to the Eight Immortals Sect, but he felt from a distance that there were not many masters in the Eight Immortals Sect. There was no one of the same level as the ancestor of the Seven Kills Sect. It seemed that he came at the wrong time.
The head of the house was away, and Li Xiu was no longer interested in visiting.
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiu selected four or five powerful immortal sects whose strength was second only to the Eight Immortals Sect and the Seven Killings Sect, and visited them one by one. Some of these sects did not like to see Li Xiu, but they all knew that Li Xiu had a perverse personality and was a
A ruthless person would not dare not see a visitor! However, Li Xiu never mentioned anything about the Immortal Realm. Compared to the Seven Kills Sect, these people from the Immortal Sect made Li Xiu uncomfortable. Li Xiu dared to say that as soon as he walked with his front foot, his back foot fell.
News will spread to the Soul Cultivation Land or the branch of Tianduyuan. If the news about the immortal world is leaked to them, then I estimate that I will be hunted down by the Soul Cultivation Land immediately.
"Unexpectedly, among most of the immortal cultivating sects in ancient Qin County, only one of the Seven Kills Sect can be regarded as a hero. Even if he was planted with a demon seed, he still has not been devoured by nature. The rest are just hawks and lackeys, insensitive and incompetent.
Let’s talk about big things!” Li Xiu waved his sleeves and left.
Li Xiu suddenly got up and went to visit the governor's mansion in Gu Qin County, which made the governor quite nervous. Instead of meeting Li Xiu in person, he ordered the eldest son to entertain Li Xiu with wine and food.
Xiu didn't feel uncomfortable at all, this was human nature, and he and the eldest young master actually had a very pleasant conversation.
After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, I also visited some senior officials from the human race who had served in Sheji. These veterans were all mortals. In the fiftieth year since the founding of Bu Le Kingdom, high-ranking officials with mortal bodies were transferred to the capital, and none of them were lower than
Counting those who are fifty years old, the actual age of these old people who are still alive is not one hundred, but definitely eighty. They are frail and old. They resigned and returned to their hometowns, and their families were left in the cold. Fortunately, the Bu Le Kingdom court treated these human race veterans,
They were never treated badly and did not suffer a happy death. Most of them returned to their hometowns and were treated like veterans.
What surprised Li Xiu was that after he left the Sheriff's Mansion, he visited these retired officials on a whim, and none of them met Li Xiu in person. At least they were friendly on the surface! They all seemed to have heard of Li Xiu.
Name, this made Li Xiu feel very strange.
If it is a sect in the world of immortality, even a small sect, it is barely reasonable to know one's own name. After these old people retired, their information was blocked. Shangbei County is tens of thousands of miles away from Gu Qin County, and their reputation is even more important.
To say that it has completely started, it probably started with the Battle of Fenglei Pavilion and the Battle of Hancheng. In other words, it was less than a month ago. If it were not for the cultivation world and relied on folk communication to spread to ancient Qin County, it would probably be
It will be a few years later. Unless the imperial court pays attention to Li Xiu and there is news such as the Tongbao reported to various states and counties, that is of course another story.
This is so strange!
Li Xiu did not cast spells on these old people to peep into their secrets and gave them enough respect. No matter whether they worked for the Demon Kingdom or not, at least, only with these senior officials of the human race in the court or cabinet could they speak out for the human race.
If the voice exists, otherwise in this entire large area, demons and people can be seen everywhere, which is definitely not the case now.
Li Xiu finally found out that it turned out that Li Xiu was named one of the Chosen Seeds by the imperial court and was a representative of the human race in Shangbei County. The imperial envoy carrying the decree had already gone north, and it was estimated that it would not take long to reach Hancheng.
There was even more news coming out of the palace that Emperor Ji Yuan seemed to be dying.
Li Xiu couldn't help but re-examine the old man in front of him. It seemed that this old man had great insight. There were still ministers in the imperial court who had correspondence with him, and the relationship was very deep. Otherwise, how could this kind of news reach the world?
In his ears, especially the news that Emperor Ji Yuan was dying, leaking such secrets would be a serious matter that would destroy the nine clans.
"Mr. Zhang Ge, what do you think about this Heavenly Chosen Seed? From what I heard, the Heavenly Chosen Seed has always been judged by the Supreme of the Great Region. Why does this kind of thing have to go through the hands of the Bu Le Kingdom's court?"
Li Xiu raised questions.
The old man named Zhang Ge is already one hundred and thirteen years old. If he can survive the age of one hundred and twenty, he will have survived a disaster. For a mortal body, a disaster
One hundred and twenty years is the limit of lifespan. Once you get over it, although you will not have the magical power to conquer demons, your Taoism and lifespan are similar to those of a strong man who cultivates immortality. He can live for hundreds of years, which is equivalent to entering Taoism as a mortal.
Li Xiu listened to Bai Zhen's brief introduction to some of this person's deeds. He was a Kaiyuan minister who came to the throne with Emperor Ji Yuan. His name was Zhang Zhijian, and he once served as prime minister. Zhang Zhijian's official career was full of twists and turns, and he was demoted to a commoner and entered the army.
In the prison, he served as county magistrate and served as magistrate of ten counties, running around here and there. If he had not been a great talent, he had always been famous in Emperor Ji Yuan's archives and offended so many people, he would have died ten times.
"Li Shaoxia, I don't dare to mention the second son of the pavilion. Now I am just a commoner with a few acres of fertile land. I have only five slaves. Including the housekeeper and a great-granddaughter, there are a total of eight people." Zhang Zhijian.
He had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and said it very normally, without much exclamation.
Li Xiu could tell that this man really saw through human nature. He was not pure-hearted, but he was definitely not pretending.
"In this case, Li has the guts to call Senior Zhang!" Li Xiudao, "Presumably a good official like Senior Zhang has a bright future and a family full of descendants. They all seek to achieve their goals. Even though they are a family of eight, they are quite
There may be some neglect, but it must be very lively during the New Year and festivals because the population is prosperous!”
"These eight people are all I have!" Zhang Zhijian said.
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the other party didn't want to talk too much about this topic, Li Xiu immediately talked to the other party about some things in the world of immortality, and also talked about some people's livelihood and common people's daily routine. Zhang Zhijian answered everything he knew, and talked with him.
Li Xiu had a great conversation with him, and Li Xiu also benefited a lot.
Before leaving, Zhang Zhijian said to Li Xiu: "I heard that although Li Shaoxia has a bad reputation, today we had a long talk, which shows that you are a man of lofty ideals who cares about the country and the people. You asked me a lot about the people's livelihood of all ethnic groups and the people's needs.
Jia Chang, after all, I am old and I dare not overstep my authority and teach you how to do things. I only have one sentence to offer you!"
Li Xiu nodded and said, "I am willing to listen to my teachings!"
Zhang Zhijian said: "You can still protect yourself in Shangbei County. If you see the imperial envoy following him south to the capital, you will be killed. You can see that at the end of spring every year, when the flowers in Shangjing are in full bloom, girls are decorated with flowers, and craftsmen
Flowers were ground into powder to make rouge, and the scholar-bureaucrats used flowers to show their elegance, but the green leaves were always fertilizer and horse manure! Do you understand?"
Li Xiudao: "The Chosen Seed is a disaster?"
"A boy can be taught! I hope I can see you again in my lifetime!" Zhang Zhijian sighed, stroking his beard.
This was actually a way to see off guests. Li Xiu stood up, clasped his fists, said goodbye, turned around and left.
When Li Xiu was just looking around, masters sent by powerful forces such as the Soul Cultivation Ground, the Tiandu Academy Branch, the Eight Immortals Sect, and the Seven Killings Sect came to find trouble for Li Xiu. Especially the Eight Immortals Sect, almost half of the senior officials were involved.
, I want to go to Li Xiu to ask for an explanation, or to ask for compensation from those who were injured by Li Xiu's Three Corpses Dharma Realm.
But they were all in vain. It was like Li Xiu had just subdued Bai Zhen and had just escaped with his front foot. They rushed to the scene and found that the Dharma Realm that made them very unhappy had disappeared, and Li Xiu and Bai Zhen were also missing.
"Search! Dig three feet into the ground to find him!" the person in charge of the soul-nurturing place spoke.
"Go back!" The experts from the Tianduyuan branch looked a little suspicious. Li Xiu dared to come through the market in a swagger, and he couldn't leave quietly without any reason. Unless there was something weird, besides, it was impossible for Tianduyuan to communicate with Yanghun.
The two places were so close that it was best to separate them, so they chose to go back home.
The Seven Kills Sect has the fewest powerful people here. Since Li Xiu has disappeared, what are they doing here? Anyway, the order from above is just for them to go through the motions.
The Eight Immortals Sect is more roaring than the demons in the Soul Cultivation Land. Everyone is full of energy. While they pretend to be powerful, their own strength is indeed unique. Each strong person flies around and scans with his spiritual consciousness without any scruples. Don't
It is said that ordinary people's homes, even small sects, and even some powerful sects second only to the Eight Immortals Sect, have almost no secrets except some secret rooms and forbidden areas blocked by formations. This makes everyone very dissatisfied.
But he didn't dare to resist.
What's even more annoying is that after searching around and finding no one, they began to raid the secret rooms and forbidden areas of each sect. All the supreme elders were picked out like grandsons, and they all stood aside and let them search!
Some old-fashioned Supreme Elders stood there blowing their beards and staring in anger, but they did not have the courage to stand up and challenge them. They could only watch the masters from the Eight Immortals Sect and the Soul Cultivation Land leave in a swaggering manner.
