When Chu Jiuyue returned to the back garden, he saw Emperor Yu sitting in a pavilion and tasting pastries.

Emperor Yu sensed that the people outside had left, and glanced at Chu Jiuyue, who was walking over. This guy was becoming more and more eloquent.

"Xian'er is also here, asking her brothers to come and intercede for the child."

Emperor Yu sighed, "Since Li Junye's death, she has been resentful of my father, but she has made many exceptions for this child."

Chu Jiuyue whispered: "It means that the little princess has grown up. It's no wonder that Your Majesty knows about Li Junye."

Emperor Yu's eyes were slightly lost in thought, and then he smiled softly, seeming to be in a happy mood:

"The child has a promiscuous temperament and has good connections. The Xia family also came to plead for his risk, even if they did not hesitate to offend the Buddhist sect. The other three divine generals were able to keep their composure and did not say a word."

Chu Jiuyue smiled bitterly in his heart. If the other three divine generals' houses also came to plead for mercy, I'm afraid it would be counterproductive.

After all, if the five great generals intercede for one person, whose world is this?

Not to mention Emperor Yu, any king would be afraid of him.

"The Xia family accepts the kindness of the child, so it's normal to come here." Chu Jiuyue said in a low voice. If he didn't come, it would seem that he was deliberately avoiding suspicion. Naturally, he was avoiding His Majesty's suspicion, but it was not magnanimous enough.

"The ancestor of the Li family is very calm. He is worthy of being a veteran who followed the late emperor on the expedition. He knows the rules of emotion and reason, and what is good and bad. I will not touch this child at this juncture."

Emperor Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table with a smile in his eyes:

"This Lord Buddha is too impatient. He is so impatient that he colludes with demons. His desire to fight for orthodoxy and become a saint is too strong."

"But in this world, what we talk about is the truth, the truth, the truth, the truth of the Tao, not the truth of the Buddha."

Chu Jiuyue's eyes flickered, and he was not surprised. The collusion between Buddhism and demons was extremely secret, but His Majesty already knew about it, and he also knew about it, so he was not surprised.

After all, there is no paper that can cover fire, not even the Buddha's light cassock.

"That child can be regarded as solving our serious problem, but unfortunately, his approach is too rough."

"However, roughness also has its advantages. It can be regarded as filling in the pieces for my next move."

Emperor Yu had a chuckle on his lips.

Chu Jiuyue was silent. In front of the court today, he was actually not completely sure that His Majesty would forgive the child.

Although what the child did was beneficial to them, those ministers were not wrong at all. The child's growth rate was too fast, so fast that it was scary!

The threat is approaching and far exceeds that of Lord Buddha.

Although he was one of the closest and most trusted people to Emperor Yu, he could not be said to have a complete insight into the emperor's heart.

After all, when the late emperor died and the princes seized the throne, His Majesty's ruthlessness was obvious to everyone. He was not a merciful master.

After a brief silence, Chu Jiuyue looked at Emperor Yu and finally asked the doubts in his heart:

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

"explain."

"Why are you so relieved about that child?"

Chu Jiuyue stared slightly.

This is what he still can't figure out.

Just played a game of chess by the willow tree river?

Or do you think that the child is too talented and may become a saint in the future, but may not usurp imperial power?

But if you want to become a saint, it will be difficult to cross the threshold of incense.

What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable. The stronger they are, the more they like to take the initiative in their own hands, rather than handing it over to the other party, relying only on fragile trust?

After hearing Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu's smile faded slightly and he did not answer. Instead, he looked up at the late-season peach blossoms in front of him. The petals were like leaves falling in the wind, drifting in the wind.

Summer is scorching hot, and spring flowers fade early.

"I want to go play a game of chess."

Emperor Yu said softly.

Chu Jiuyue was slightly startled.

However, Emperor Yu had already stood up and said, "You don't need to follow me. I will go to court tomorrow morning and say that I miss the Lord Buddha deeply and am ill."

Chu Jiuyue's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly covered it up and whispered: "But Your Majesty, if the Buddhist disciples are unwilling to give in, what about another trouble?"

"When I come back, I will have the answer."

Emperor Yu said.

Then the figure disappeared into the back garden.

Chu Jiuyue looked at the suddenly empty pavilion, with flower petals falling on the still warm stone bench. He was slightly lost in thought as he stared.

…

…

Qiandao Palace.

This Taoist temple standing on the top of Tianmen Mountain is majestic. It was originally a simple and peaceful Taoist temple, but because it was too close to the royal palace, it received too many rewards. There was also a touch of gold in the Taoist temple, making it look majestic and solemn.

At this moment, in the depths of the Taoist temple, only a beam of light shines into the pure secret hall.

Emperor Yu, who was wearing a black dragon robe, appeared quietly and stood behind the Taoist who was sitting on the futon. The Taoist exuded an ancient aura, and the person in front of him was worshiping the dharma image of the Taoist saint.

"I plan to take a long trip to see the child."

Emperor Yu whispered.

The Taoist on the futon slowly opened his mouth, and after a while, he softly said, "Have you made your decision?"

Emperor Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "We'll talk to you later."

The Taoist also fell silent for a moment and said: "I am approaching my end of life and have only a few days left. I originally planned to take the Buddha Lord away before my death, but I didn't expect that a child would take care of him first, so I didn't have to wait."

Emperor Yu nodded slightly.

Previously, he had planned to wait for the Immortal Gate to reopen and the Jiang family members to return, and then purge them. Lord Buddha had already realized this, so in a bid for time, he secretly cultivated Mara at the expense of his own power eight hundred years ago.

It was a pity that he did not have timely insight and did not catch the Buddha when he was at his weakest.

"He colluded with the demons and raced against time. He also realized that I had sent a message to the Immortal Sect. My uncles, Lao Shiba and others were trying to find a way to contact the saints and open the Immortal Sect over there. Unfortunately, within one year of the secret realm of the saints,

Ten years on earth.”

"Originally, when they returned, it was the funeral of Lord Buddha. The incense collected for my Jiang family will eventually return to my Jiang family, and they will take back the principal and interest together."

"But now, this place has been explored by people from the Immortal Sect. Behind the three desolate gods, there is most likely a strong person instigating them. Their actions are not just pure killing."

Emperor Yu's eyes were sharp: "No matter who it is, no one can stop my Jiang family from resurrecting the ancestor. Now that the consummation is imminent, no mistakes can be made."

The Taoist nodded slightly and sighed: "Their foundation for entering the Immortal Sect is too shallow, and they are in a difficult situation. I don't know if they can make friends with a saint. It may take a long time to open the Immortal Sect again."

After hearing this, Emperor Yu also fell into silence.

"If you choose that child, I will support Dayu for another ten years and buy that boy another ten years."

The Taoist's voice was old, and he said: "Before I leave, I will take away all the dust. If you have not chosen, then choose one of Chunsheng and Mingyue Jian to become the next Taoist leader. I will take this Taoist palace.

Leave it to them."

The two people he mentioned were carefully selected from among his direct disciples.

Emperor Yu glanced at him. That dry and thin body had protected the Emperor Yu's dynasty for more than three thousand years.

He lowered his head slightly and said, "Ten years is enough for that child."

The Taoist was slightly silent. It turned out that the other party had already made his choice.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

Emperor Yu did not answer.

The Taoist sighed and said slowly: "I hope you saw the right person."

"Wait until I come back."

Emperor Yu said softly.

A thousand-year-old darkroom can be illuminated by just one light.

He knows what it takes to light a long lamp.

After saying that, he slightly cupped his hands and then disappeared in a flash.

This beam of light shone in the pure secret hall, and the dust was floating in the light, unable to escape.

…

…

Liangzhou, Tianmen Pass.

After killing the Buddha Lord and returning from Wuliang Mountain, Li Hao took the God of Candle Fire, Xi Yan, and Feng Lao back to the familiar Tianmen Pass.

Ren Qianqian burst into tears when she learned that Feng Lao's soul was missing. This little girl seemed cold and cold on weekdays, but she was extremely emotional and prone to tears when dealing with familiar people.
