Chapter 15: Three Thousand Palms (two chapters in one)
“Your master??”
Xu Tong looked at the inn and immediately asked: "Who is your master??"
The boy smiled and said: "My master is named after a poem. He was born during the transition of Xia and Shang Dynasties. He is the Xiaoyao Immortal of the East, who rules the Nine Heavens Chou Bo, and is also the Demon King of the Three Realms."
Xu Tong blinked: "I don't understand!"
The boy was stunned and had no choice but to reveal his master's name: "My master is the Great Demon King Qingdi."
"oh!!"
Xu Tong suddenly realized it and secretly cried out in his heart, "Good guy, what are you afraid of?"
Just after seeing off a White Emperor's guard, the boss here came in person.
This must have come too quickly.
"this……"
The Great Demon King Qingdi came in person, and Xu Tong was in distress for a moment. This was not a guard. He could fight on his own. Anyway, there were people to help him.
Just when I was worried about how to deal with it, I heard Lilith's voice from behind: "Then let's meet together."
When he looked back, he realized that Lilith had stepped out of the carriage and was behind him.
"Then you go and come back quickly, I'll wait for you outside."
When Xu Tong saw this, he was about to leave, but Lilith grabbed him by the collar. How could she let Xu Tong escape so easily? She immediately said in a deep voice: "You come with me."
"No, you boss is talking about business, what do you want me to do?"
Xu Tong asked knowingly.
What to do? Use it as a shield.
It seems that women like this. Even if someone asks you to date, you have to drag a best friend with you, and then use your best friend as a shield to stand in the middle.
The boy also spoke at this moment: "My master specifically told me that the envoy must come with us."
Xu Tong grimaced and glanced back at the fat monk.
As a result, he found that the fat monk waved to him with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Tong's eyes lit up: "Okay, just wait for me."
Saying that, he walked quickly to the fat monk.
He took the fat monk's arm and said, "Let's go together."
As a result, the fat monk hurriedly waved his hand: "Goodbye, this poor monk has a shallow cultivation level and dare not disobey the great demon king Qing Di."
"Then why are you waving? Your hands are itchy?"
Xu Tong's face darkened when he heard this, as if if you don't come with me, I will hold you and not let go.
"Hahahaha, sir, don't worry, the poor monk will teach you a method that will protect you."
The fat monk smiled and wet his saliva, and wrote and drew randomly on Xu Tong's back. For a moment, Xu Tong didn't know what the fat monk had written.
I only heard the fat monk's message: "Just go, Your Majesty. Although the Qing Emperor is terrifying, as long as you don't get angry, he can't do anything to you."
"Really??" Xu Tong was a little confused.
"I swear!"
Seeing the fat monk raising his hand in assurance, Xu Tong felt relieved, walked to Lilith, raised his arm, and said in a playful tone: "Let's have a relationship with you!!"
Lilith covered her mouth, reached out to hold Xu Tong's arm, and walked into the inn with the boy leading the way.
Like the Shiluting Inn, it doesn't look big from the outside, but the space inside is surprisingly large.
In the neat rows of small courtyards, you can see steaming heat rising upwards from time to time.
The boy led the two of them until they reached the deepest part, in front of the door of a separate luxurious compound. Xu Tong took a closer look and saw several soldiers wearing black armor guarding the door.
These people exuded a strong murderous aura from a distance. The murderous aura was so frightening that it was as terrifying as if these people had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Before Xu Tong could get closer, his scales stretched out unconsciously.
"This is the elite!!"
Compared with the previous White Emperor Guards, they are completely different. These people are the real underworld warriors.
As if she noticed the dragon scales on Xu Tong's body that were inspired by the murderous aura, Lilith gently placed her hand on Xu Tong's palm, patted it twice, and gave Xu Tong a relieved look.
"You two, please come inside!"
The boy stood in front of the door to pay respects. Xu Tong took a deep breath and entered the courtyard with Lilith.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge hot spring. The pool is gleaming with golden light, and the steaming heat sweeps away the chill from your body. There are also a few unnamed flowers inside, and I don’t know what species they are, which can grow in such a hot spring.
Walking along the path next to the hot spring to the main hall, through the screen I saw the shadow of a model lake lying on a beauty's couch.
Standing on the side were two girls with beautiful figures and beautiful figures, holding wine and feeding them.
After the two people walked in with the boy, the boy whispered: "Qing Emperor, people have arrived."
"In this humble position, I accept the envoy to meet the Qing Emperor, the Great Demon King. I wish the Qing Emperor, the Great Demon King, good fortune and good fortune to stay forever and live forever!"
Xu Tong stepped forward and respectfully paid homage to the figure behind the screen.
Although he likes to play, it doesn't mean that he likes to look for trouble. In front of him, the Qing Emperor's status is even equal to that of a ghost emperor like Du Ziren. It is obviously not a wise idea to show off his cleverness in front of such a person.
"I've seen the Great Demon King Qingdi."
Lilith followed Xu Tong and bowed slightly.
The figure behind the screen swayed slightly, and then a lazy voice was heard: "You two, please take a seat."
There were two seats, one on the left and one on the right. They should have been separated, but Xu Tong sat directly next to Lilith.
He didn't say anything to the figure behind the screen, but looked at Xu Tong through the screen.
It was just a normal look, without deliberately peeking at Xu Tong. Even so, the scrutinizing gaze still made Xu Tong a little uncomfortable.
"I heard that you tore up Bai Emperor's decree and beat up Bai Emperor's people. Now it seems that you are indeed a heroic young man. But if you do this, Bai Emperor will definitely not give up. You may be fine in the world, but... everyone
There will come a time when your life will end and you will rest."
Qingdi's voice is very kind and gives people a unique sense of intimacy, making it easy for people to let go of their guard.
It's just that Xu Tong didn't dare to have this idea, and besides, he wouldn't act stupidly with such a big hat.
The look on his face was straight and he said: "Qing Emperor Ming Jian, Bai Emperor's decree is like a sacred object. How can I tear it up? Someone must be instigating it. Such tricks cannot be hidden from Bai Emperor's discernment. As for me beating Bai Emperor's attendant, it's even more...
Nonsense.”
"Oh! So I have wronged you??"
Behind the screen, Qingdi's voice was slightly mocking.
Xu Tong immediately explained: "I have been ordered by Yin Cao Si, and Yang Yin Si has repeatedly explained the important task of guiding the envoys. I dare not be careless in this humble position. The other party neither has the order of Yin Cao Si nor is he a direct superior. Not only did he block the envoys,
, and even beat us up, I was just punishing Cao Sixiao on behalf of Yin Cao."
Xu Tong couldn't do without Yin Caosi. As for whether Yin Caosi could withstand it, he didn't care at all.
The Qing Emperor behind the screen couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Then he looked at Lilith aside and said, "Did the Western envoy come this time to broker the agreement? If so, I'm afraid it would be a wasted trip. As far as I know, the prince has never thought about negotiating with the Western envoy.
The meaning of hell joining forces."
Xu Tong sat aside and listened with open ears.
But Lilith had no intention of answering, and instead said with a smile: "I can't understand what Qingdi said. This time, my father came here hoping to give the prince a gift to show his sincerity.
, As for the agreement back then, I haven’t heard anything about it.”
"oh!"
Qingdi nodded thoughtfully: "If that's the case, I'm overthinking it."
After saying that, he stared at Xu Tong: "The man you beat just now is a well-known devil in the world, and his father is the master of the Tiangong Palace in Mingchen Naiwu City.
The other four are also children from Luofeng Liutian Palace in Beiyin. Even if they are not direct children, they are definitely not something you can mess with."
Xu Tong's heart sank slightly, knowing that the Qing Emperor was afraid that Lilith would not cooperate with him, so he simply started to use the knife on himself.
He immediately asked: "Dare I ask Emperor Qing, since they are the children of Luofeng Liutian Palace in Beiyin, can they have the priesthood?"
This question was pure nonsense. Qingdi frowned and did not respond.
"Regardless of whether they have clergy or not, they are treasonous if they clash with the envoys. Moreover, it is self-defense to be humble. If they are convicted of this, please ask the Yin Cao Division to issue an official ultimatum and send me to the Hall of Hell to report. I think justice will be in people's hearts.
"
"It's ridiculous. Luo Feng wants to kill you in six days. Why should he notify Yin Cao Si? Crushing you to death is just a grasshopper."
The woman holding a drink on the side finally couldn't bear Xu Tong's arrogance and said sarcastically.
You can't blame the woman for talking too much, but these words sound really funny.
The six heavens of Beiyin, Luofeng, commanded all the demons, and even the Tenth Palace of Hell didn't take them seriously, so how could he care about a Yin Caosi?
When Xu Tong heard this, he just raised his eyelids and stared at the woman behind the screen calmly: "What this girl means is that Luo Feng can kill and lead people in six days?"
The woman was so excited by Xu Tong that she even sneered:
"What kind of guide? You are just a mortal mortal. If I kill you, I will kill you. I will beat you until your soul is gone. Who dares to say a word for you?"
Even through the screen, Xu Tong could feel the disdain in the woman's words, as if the person who wanted to kill him was the woman herself.
Being looked down upon by a maid like this would make anyone feel angry, but Xu Tong remembered the fat monk's words and kept a calm mind.
Hearing this, he even smiled and said, "What you said has really benefited me a lot, but I like to be more truthful. When my family Yang Yusi came, he told me that the underworld is vast, but there are limits to the law, and no one can be good at it."
"Exerting power, this is my life creed. If that day comes, I believe that my upright adults will seek justice for me."
"you!!"
The woman stared, but she didn't expect that the guy in front of her was so insignificant that he was just like a stone.
At this time, the Qing Emperor finally spoke and said with a full smile: "It is indeed extraordinary for the Yincaosi to have such a little brother. Anyway, I give this thing to you. If one day, we are at the end of our rope and show this thing, maybe I can protect you."
One life!"
After saying that, he ordered the woman next to him to give him a waist badge. The woman took it respectfully, walked out of the screen, and handed the waist badge to Xu Tong.
I saw the words Qing Di Great Demon King clearly written on the waist tag.
After Xu Tong accepted his belt, he thanked the Qing Emperor, stood up, and left with Lilith.
Only after the two of them left did the maid who had mocked Xu Tong kneel before the Qing Emperor: "It's Xiaodie who is incompetent."
"Forget it, if you take precautions, it won't go as you wish."
Qingdi waved his hand to signal the maid to stand up. Just now he had secretly tried to anger the boy, intending to make him angry so as to plant a demonic seed in his heart.
As a result, there seemed to be some power secretly guarding the other party, making it impossible for him to succeed.
It seems that if this kid dares to be so tough, there must be someone behind him to back him up.
He immediately took out an edict and handed it to the woman: "Send it to the Yin Cao Division. I also want to see if this upright Yang Yu Division really dares to disobey my order!"
"According to the order!"
The maid took the badge and left.
On the other side, Xu Tong and Lilith only waited for Xu Tong and Lilith to walk out of the compound. Only when they were far away did Xu Tong heave a sigh of relief.
"Next time something like this happens, please don't drag me around. Well, if I can't win you over, I'll kill you."
Xu Tong complained to Lilith.
If he had been really angered by the maid at that time, Emperor Qing might have planted a demonic seed in his mind, and then he would not be able to control his life or death.
I simply keep the fat monk's words in mind, and no matter how agitated the maid is, I can stay calm.
However, it is better that this kind of thing happens less often, so next time, I will never come again, unless... I pay more!
"Aren't you curious about what the agreement just mentioned is?"
Lilith asked in a low voice.
Xu Tong hurriedly signaled her to stop. Curiosity can kill a cat. What kind of class did he belong to? If he got involved in this matter, he would definitely not end well.
Besides, there are some things that you will naturally know when you have the strength, so why should you be in a hurry?
While the two were talking, they walked into another small courtyard.
Gao Zhuo and others have already moved in. Naturally, the courtyard cannot be compared with Qingdi's exclusive residence.
But there is no problem for three or four people to bathe in such a large hot spring.
"came back!"
The fat monk waved to Xu Tong with a silly smile on his face.
"How about it, no problem."
"It's okay. I was given a brand, but I don't know if it will work."
Xu Tong took out the waist tag given to him by Qing Emperor. The fat monk took it and weighed it in his hand for a few times. He seemed to be sure that there was nothing wrong before returning the tag to Xu Tong.
"I don't want to give it to you for free. This is the finest green smoke wood. If you don't like it, throw it into the fire and burn it to ashes. When you take it out, it will be the best healing medicine in the world."
Hearing what the fat monk said, Xu Tong immediately felt much better.
"Hurry up and cook, baby, this poor monk is almost starving."
After the fat monk finished speaking, he began to urge Lilith to cook, as if he really regarded the hell princess as the royal cook.
Lilith was very happy with this. Cooking was her greatest pleasure. What's more, the old Taoist also brought out the treasured pork, which was top-notch ingredients. How could she refuse?
Just put on a neat kitchen robe, walk into the kitchen and start cooking.
After a while, Lilith prepared a top-notch banquet.
The meat of Fu Dou itself is particularly fragrant, and after being processed by Lilith, it becomes even more delicious and addictive.
Paired with a pot of sweet and delicious wine, the fat monk's mouth was full of oil after eating, and he called it "good, good, good."
The meat was delicious, but only Xu Tong in the team could devour it. As for Gu Xibai and the others, after eating a few bites, they felt extremely hot all over.
Upon seeing this, the fat monk rushed them directly to the hot spring, saying that he wanted to use the hot air of the hot spring to activate the essence of the evil meat.
Gao Zhuo and others were still doubtful at first, but after soaking in the hot spring for a while, they felt as if their skin and flesh were being burned. Then the three of them began to burp continuously and spit out the turbid air in their chests.
In just a few minutes, the three of them experienced different changes.
Gao Zhuo's face surged with anger, and he had actually made a great breakthrough. He had reached the fourth level of the reverse training of life and death. Most of the corpse energy in his body had dissipated, and his whole person became no different from a living person.
Gu Xibai's forehead was beaded with sweat, and his body was even more solid. A faint milky halo appeared on his smooth skin, which was a precursor to entering the Tao through martial arts.
As for Chang Wugu, it is more difficult to figure out. This guy has no cultivation system. Like normal players, he relies entirely on the blessing of prop cards.
But at this moment, black smoke was rising from this guy's body, and his body began to swell.
After waiting for a while, Chang Wuzhen opened his eyes, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of black blood. The black blood spit out on the ground, and in an instant, a hole was eroded into the ground.
"This guy is really interesting. He also has some blood from hell. I didn't know he was the baby secretly given birth to by that bitch."
Seeing this, Lilith couldn't help but snicker secretly.
"Let's go, let these stinky men hang out here, and let's go back and rest."
Lilith stood up and took the eldest princess out, preparing to go back to her room to rest and take a hot bath.
"Hmm...is it really good for these two girls to go together??"
Xu Tong looked at the two girls leaving, and he didn't know why he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
After all, it's not Chang Wuju who wants to burp the most, but these two tiger girls.
But everyone was gone, so I had no choice but to eat and drink, so I followed the fat monk and soaked in the spring.
"Gudong!!"
The scalding hot water flooded his skin, causing Xu Tong to squint his eyes. He felt that the pores all over his body were open, and he felt so comfortable that he was about to fly.
The fat monk sat shirtless next to Xu Tong. Although the fat monk looked meaty, his skin looked like a peeled egg.
As soon as he sat next to Xu Tong, there was a unique fragrance exuding from his body, which made Xu Tong want to pounce on the little fat man and bite him hard.
While taking a bath, Xu Tong's soul came out of his body and returned to the entrance of the hall.
Right now, as Qingdi said, his situation is not good, especially those little devils who may come to trouble him again at any time.
If I want to make a breakthrough now, I need to achieve enlightenment, but enlightenment cannot be achieved through practice, but requires an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong not only took out an object from the props book, it was the crystal heart obtained at the Jade Virtual Platform in Heaven.
According to the precious mirror under the Yuxu stage, the opportunity for him to become enlightened lies on this thing, but this thing is just a stone, how can he make it beat?
So if you want to become enlightened, I'm afraid you still have to look at opportunities. Before that, you can only use other ways to improve your strength.
For example……
Xu Tong looked at the fairy furnace at the entrance of the hall.
With a thought, he took out all the medicinal materials obtained during this period.
Many of these medicinal materials are treasures provided by the Mei family, and many are left over from the last elixir refining.
The most precious among them is probably the [Golden Dragon Blood].
After he displayed these things in front of him, he felt his forehead begin to jump, and the elixir's consciousness began to be stimulated to wake up from his deep sleep.
Looking at the materials in front of him, Danjing sketched out one recipe after another in Xu Tong's mind.
Until I saw [The Blood of the Golden Dragon], there was only one elixir recipe left in my mind called [Golden Dao Casting Pill].
At this moment, inside the Yin Cao Division.
Only the sound of wailing was heard, it was sad and sad.
The few kiddies hiding in the corner looked in the direction of the Yincaosi lobby, and let out light laughter from time to time.
Not to mention these little brats, even the other Yin officers of the Yin Cao Division had a somewhat light and joyful expression on their faces.
It feels like this sad scream is more like the sound of New Year's firecrackers, which makes people feel comfortable.
"Hey, you were beaten so badly!"
"Isn't it? It's a deadly move."
"I have been here for so long and I have never seen anything so happy."
Some Yin officials whispered about the scene that had just happened.
The group of Baidi's guards could not defeat Xu Tong, so they could only vent their frustration on the poor Yang Yinsi.
"Wait, I'm going to sue you!!"
Yang Yinsi was lying on the bed at this moment, his nose and face were bruised and swollen from being beaten. He had never suffered such humiliation since he became the head of Yincao Division.
Wailing means clamoring to sue the King of Hell. If the King of Hell doesn't care, his family will continue to sue. He has never been beaten so severely in his life, and he must give himself an explanation no matter what.
Yang Yin Si was still wailing, and a kid from outside the door came in, lay down in Yang Yin Si's ear, and whispered: "Yin Si, I have inquired clearly, this matter... seems to be......"
"What is it? Tell me quickly!"
After being beaten for no reason, Yang Yu sent someone to find out whether he had offended Bai Di or someone else.
In the end, it was okay not to ask about it. When the kid below found out clearly, he was also shocked.
Faced with Yang Yu's urging, he could only bite the bullet and tell everything he had heard.
Well, when he learned that the initiator turned out to be Xu Tong, Yang Yu almost jumped out of bed.
"Damn this little bastard, you have a grudge against me along with my mother-in-law."
Yang Yu's lungs were about to burst with rage.
The matter of the Y book last time is not over yet. I thought about it for the sake of Luofu Mountain and turned a blind eye.
As a result, this kid gave himself a big gift with a backhand, which made him unable to get out of bed.
The more Yang Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished he could call Xu Tong back now and send this boy to the Eighteen Hells.
Just as Yang Yu was cursing Xu Tong in his heart.
Outside the door, I saw a kid running in hastily. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Sir, please get up quickly, the Qing Emperor's decree has arrived!"
Qing Emperor’s decree??
Yang Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, wondering why the Qing Emperor came just after one of Bai Di's people left?
However, he did not dare to be careless and hurriedly limped to the front hall with the help of his men.
He saw a woman standing in the lobby waiting for him. When she saw Yang Yinsi, who was already bruised and swollen, the woman couldn't help but look suspicious.
However, seeing Yang Yu kneeling down to receive the Qing Emperor's decree, although he was confused, he didn't feel like asking any more questions, so he sent the Qing Emperor's decree to Yang Yin Si.
Yang Yu picked it up and opened it to take a look. On the bruised and swollen face that had been beaten, the facial features were suddenly twisted into a ball of pain.
He rolled his eyes and passed out.
Several Yin officials on the side quickly picked up the Qing Emperor's decree and took a look at it. They saw a line written on it: "If the emperor is not strict, he will be slapped with three thousand mouths."
