The spring in Licheng is warm and humid, but today's prefect's palace is a little different from the past. It is warm and warm, especially the area between the front palace and the rear palace. It is like summer day and night. The palace waiters guarding here
He and his guards even put on summer clothes early, looking fresh and convenient.
This warm and dry area has a row of three main halls. The middle one is slightly smaller than the previous main hall. It is the place where successive prefects used to work. The east side hall is generally used for the prefect's banquets and other external activities. The west side hall is generally used for the prefect's banquets and other external activities.
The palace is generally for the private use of the eunuchs. Some eunuchs will convert the west hall into a study room, where they will check the homework of the princes. Some will arrange it as a bedroom, where they can rest when they are not going to the harem courtyards.
When it came to the generation of the former prefect Luo Tianen, it seems that because he didn't like this place very much, he emptied out the furnishings and left it abandoned for more than ten years, so that moss grew on the stone steps in front and behind the main hall door.
Luochuan's stay in Licheng was too short, and he didn't want to pay attention to this side hall at first, but he changed his mind after bringing a fire sycamore tree from Yongchang County, and directly moved the fire sycamore tree and the red box here.
So this side hall became the largest stove in the prefect's palace, impervious to wind and snow.
At this time, the side hall was filled with heat. In the center of the side hall, a huge red box stood quietly. The box was wide open. A large red tree in it was like a huge torch, filling the entire side hall.
, there was no wind in the hall, but the palm-sized flame-shaped leaves swayed freely, as if they were alive.
These fire-like leaves have their own light, which casts a warm color over the entire hall.
There is a red rope hanging from the trunk of the big tree. The red rope hangs from the trunk and falls to the ground. The other end is tied to a huge copper coin. The copper coin is close to the ground and has deep patterns carved around it.
There is a faint green light flowing in the pattern, which looks quite mysterious.
There were only six people in the side hall. The two standing side by side under the tree were Luo Chuan and Qian Xue who had returned from Anling. A little further away were Luo Jiang and Siqi who were whispering. On the other side of the big tree, near the red box, there was another person.
Those who stood and crouched and whispered were the shadow and the silversmith.
"This is the fire sycamore tree you mentioned in your letter," Qianxue raised her head and looked at the flaming crown of the big tree in front of her. She raised her right hand and turned it slightly, and a ball of cold air with a slight blue color appeared out of thin air.
Then it turned into invisible water vapor and disappeared under the waves of heat in the side hall. "For a fire practitioner like you, this thing might really be called a holy object. The five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other.
Earth element cultivators should gain slightly from cultivating here, but for the metal and wood elements, it is just the opposite. It is not helpful for the water element. But no matter how you say it, this thing is undoubtedly a cultivation treasure. Are you sure?
Do you want to plant it in the palace?"
"Otherwise, we can't throw away this kind of thing," Luo Chuan shrugged. "The palace of the prefect of Li City is already one of the safest places in Li County at the moment."
Qianxue still raised her head and looked at the leaves surging like a sea of fire, "When you talked about the bronze cauldron in front of the main hall earlier, you said that the master who delivered the cauldron also stopped under the tree and observed it, but in the end he did not take action.
If you rob it, it might be necessary to plant it in the palace."
Luo Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "What you said makes me a little uneasy, as if I am a chess piece in the hands of someone..."
Qianxue turned to look at him, with a sarcastic smile on her lips, "From the time you decided not to follow me but stepped into the whirlpool of Li County, shouldn't you have thought that you would become someone else's pawn?" She added.
Looking at the thick trunk of the big tree, he stretched out his hand and weighed it a little, "From this point of view, running less outside and staying under this tree to practice well is probably the best way for you to break the situation.
, now you have also seen how powerful the real demon is. If you want to play chess with such a person, you must have that kind of strength. You always think that relying on other people's luck like this time won't work."
Luo Chuan's face suddenly became even more bitter, "I am only in the fourth realm now. Even if I stay under this tree from now on and never go anywhere, I don't know if it will take dozens or hundreds of years to break through to the upper three realms."
, let alone reaching the realm like that old snake. God knows it has lived for hundreds of years." He pointed at his chest and abdomen and said, "Not to mention the upper three realms, the master of the Cangyan Sword Sect
The real person has tied a chain to my Qi sea, and I am trying my best to not be able to shake it even a little bit. The five realms of concentration may kill me!"
Hearing this, Qianxue smiled and said, "You are only twenty now. Where did you get your old life? The real master locked you up probably because he was afraid that you would be eager for quick success and quick gain in cultivation and miss the point of practicing." She walked there
While observing the magic circle where the huge copper coin was located, he asked casually, "Did you notice anything strange when you saw the true demon's Dharma form in Liufeng Mountain?"
"Weird?" Luo Chuan subconsciously glanced in the direction of the shadow and said, "What can be strange? The old snake set up a large formation in Liufeng Mountain, making it dark and terrifying. The real demon's appearance is as big as a small mountain.
I was very brave enough not to be frightened to death on the spot, so I could still detect anything strange."
Qianxue turned back and looked at him deeply, and then said, "Your current path of cultivation... is a bit special. No one can give you an absolutely suitable experience, so you can't simply follow anyone's path.
, you have to broaden your horizons and learn from everyone's strengths. Even if it's the old snake in your mouth, you can learn from it, but the practice is extremely complicated. If you encounter any difficulties, you must ask me in time. If I can't solve it, you can answer it yourself.
It's better to have elders from the sect than to just mess around with your head down alone, and it will be too troublesome if something goes wrong."
Luochuan nodded, and then talked about another topic with a smile, "I heard from Jingzhi that you single-handedly attacked Yun Bailou outside Roucheng, and almost killed him in public. It's a pity that I was not there, otherwise you could have killed him.
Let’s learn from the fairy sister’s style first.”
Qianxue sneered, stretched out her hand and patted Luo Chuan's shoulder, covering it with a shallow layer of ice. However, it quickly melted away in the side hall, turning into a puddle of water stains on the clothes, "Master Taishou"
The ability to compliment people has not diminished, which is really gratifying. It’s just that if it’s not beheaded, it’s not beheaded. There’s no way to say it’s close or not.” She looked towards the center of the side hall, and saw that the silversmith and the shadow had already cut one end of the other.
The fire sycamore was pulled out of the red box!
In an instant, the flame tree crown swayed crazily, and countless roots twisted wildly like white snakes, and burrowed into it the moment it touched the earth!
Microtremors on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, those many roots had already pierced into the ground, pushing the originally flat and thick stone floor into a mess.
"If this thing grows again in the future..." Luo Chuan just looked up at the roof of the side hall, "Why don't we dig a big hole in the roof..."
