He Qingchen looked at the bronze alchemy cauldron in front of him and asked slightly suspiciously: "Can this immortal divine cauldron really be used to pray for elixirs to be obtained?"
"Lord Zuo Xiang, you might as well give it a try." Zhao Shu stood aside and said with a smile on his lips.
He Qingchen glanced at Zhao Mi, immediately clicked the three links with his teeth, pointed at the seal, and prayed towards the Immortal Weng Divine Cauldron:
"Three scenes are flying around, red and yellow smoke are scattered, energy captures the evil spirits, corpses are filthy and disappear, and the soul is refined, and the body is merged with the great god, so that I will not die, live forever, be wise and see clearly, and live forever."
After the prayer, the aura of the Immortal God Cauldron emerged, and suddenly the hall was filled with fragrance. The smoke swirled in the alchemy cauldron, and the elixir was kneaded into elixirs. They fluttered around in the cauldron for a moment, and then they turned into two groups like birds rushing out of their cages.
The light flew out of the alchemy cauldron.
He Qingchen raised his hand to take it, and saw three radiant pills placed in his palm. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You can really make something out of nothing. This kind of thing has never been heard of in the past."
"It's not really something that comes out of nothing, it's the condensation of emptiness and energy, and the movement and harmony. The monks refine the external elixir bait, collect gold, stone, and grass. After matching the fire, seven to nine times, they finally burn out the dregs and condense the pure physical properties, which are comparable to
Gathering energy to form." Zhao Shu explained:
"I guess this divine cauldron is the treasure of Ge Xianweng's enlightenment. He left it in the world in order to pass on the immortal family's magical method of refining the elixir to the world. If you only focus on the magical effect of the divine cauldron in transporting elixirs, it will be wrong.
It’s like falling into the inferior category.”
"It makes sense." He Qingchen did not take the pill immediately, but put it away and said, "I just didn't expect that Princess Wu'an would actually appear in Xilun Mountain."
After killing Lord Shilong, Zhao Shu and others set out to return to the imperial capital. He told He Qingchen what happened. Lord Zuo Xiang was particularly curious about Princess Wu'an's actions.
"She is not only coming for me, but also to warn you." Zhao Shu complained: "The situation in Xilun Mountain is different from what you said before. A big demon like Shilongjun is causing trouble, and he has created a sect like the Guding Sect.
, you don’t know anything about it. If my cultivation and magic power were not enough to deal with it, I might have died in Xilu Mountain."
He Qingchen's expression was serious and he immediately picked up his notes and said at the same time: "I was negligent this time. It seems that the manpower I arranged was not able to observe everything. Princess Wu'an was right. What I saw and what I planned is limited after all."
Zhao Shu did not expect that He Qingchen would admit his mistake so earnestly and would not find another excuse to deal with it.
"It's true that you hold a high position and have great power, but you can't cover everything." Zhao Shui said: "Besides, you are doing your best. There is no need to force things that are impossible to do."
He Qingchen raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Shu, and said with a smile: "It's okay to say this from other people, but you have no right to say it to me."
Zhao Mian curled his lips and said: "Okay, Mr. Zuo Xiang has a far-sighted vision and a grand plan. How can I, a man from the mountains and plains, be compared to me?"
He Qingchen shook his head and chuckled, and then said: "Actually, I have known for a long time that someone in the Xiong clan has been secretly requesting Princess Wu'an, hoping that she would come forward to depose me and return the power to His Majesty the Emperor.
But Princess Wu'an did not agree. She took action this time. Firstly, she saw through your identity and was worried about other changes. Secondly, she also used your words to gently persuade me to abdicate as soon as possible, so as to save my life."
Zhao Shu glanced around and asked: "That Zhu Sanniang, is it sent by Princess Wu'an to monitor you?"
"Maybe, but I don't care too much." He Qingchen laughed at himself: "With my little ability, if Princess Wu An had wanted to do something, she would have cut me into pieces. On the contrary, Sanniang was sent by the princess.
Protect me from some foolish people who ruin the overall situation for their own delusions."
"But someone still tried to assassinate me before," Zhao Shu said.
"It is inevitable for people like you and me to arouse jealousy and hatred." He Qingchen looked at the Immortal God's Cauldron and sighed: "Ge Xianweng paid attention to the God's Cauldron in the world to enlighten the world. Princess Wu'an is telling me that there is no need to do anything.
attend to personally."
Zhao Shu had seen He Qingchen deal with government affairs almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. In the past year, many new policies were implemented, which one was not complicated and cumbersome? If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be exhausted.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was silent, He Qingchen asked with a smile: "Why don't you speak?"
"What are you talking about? I advise you to retreat bravely? What a joke!" Zhao Shu said without a smile: "Princess Wu'an has achieved success in cultivation. She naturally has room for maneuver outside the mortal world, but you can't retreat. If you want to make a living, you want to retreat.
However, it is harmful to the bear country."
"If you say that, I'm afraid you will displease Princess Wu'an." He Qingchen sighed.
"In Xilun Mountain before, she almost struck me with a sword." Zhao Shu spread his hands and said, "You guys have a strong foundation in the Xiong Kingdom. I have heard of Xihe Jiange before, but I didn't expect Princess Wu'an of Zhenguo.
With such a high level of cultivation, I thought it was all a joke for the emperor’s relatives to cultivate immortality.”
He Qingchen said: "The name of Zhenguo Wu'an is by no means empty talk. It's just that Xihe Jiange is not as big a family as Shangjing Sect. But the princess's reminder is reasonable. I really should arrange my affairs after my death."
Zhao Shu really admired him for facing life and death so calmly, but He Qingchen did not continue to talk in depth, but changed the topic and asked: "Do you know anyone from Chiyundu?"
"Why do you say that?" Zhao Shu was puzzled.
He Qingchen took out a letter: "I am thinking about how to deal with the Huaxu Kingdom. Chiyundu currently occupies half of the Huaxu Kingdom. I have to deal with them after all."
Zhao Shu's expression was subtle and unpredictable: "Are you asking me about this matter, are you afraid that I will be biased? Chiyundu is a rebellious bandit in Huaxu Kingdom, and the Left Prime Minister should hate them deeply, right?"
"I really don't like Chiyun City. Back then, they kidnapped millions of people in the Bear Country. They hollowed out several counties in the southeast. To this day, the registered population has not been restored." He Qingchen said.
The attitude is straightforward:
"But just because I don't like it doesn't mean that I will completely ignore the current situation. Back then, Chiyun all sought refuge in Huaxu Kingdom, but were brutally massacred. I won't do that, but I need someone who can be trusted by both parties to bridge the gap."
"Wait a minute." Zhao Shu interrupted: "You said you won't attack Chi Yundu. What evidence do you have? Don't forget that the Rising Sun Sect was completely wiped out by you. Mr. Zuo Xiang has no intention of coercing the people.
You are a rebellious gangster who has always been decisive and ruthless, why should I believe that you will let Chi Yundu go?"
"The two are not the same." He Qingchen said: "In addition to some delusional people who want to restore the previous dynasty, the Rising Sun Sect is also targeting me and the Shangjing Sect. Even Chiyundu has made noises among the people and coerced the refugees.
, but at least it is for the purpose of settling down and establishing a life, I can still understand this."
"I didn't expect Mr. Zuo Xiang to value Chi Yun so much." Zhao Shu's tone couldn't tell whether he was praising or teasing.
"Master told me that the Three Elders of Chiyun also appeared on Difei Mountain back then." He Qingchen tapped the table gum: "They did not come for revenge, and they left peacefully afterwards. I should say that they did.
Has Liang Tao already arranged an escape route, or do the three elders of Chiyun understand the righteousness?"
"Lord Zuo Xiang, please send someone to ask questions directly. I don't believe you don't have manpower in Huaxu Kingdom." Zhao Shu said.
He Qingchen smiled and said: "It's boring to explain this kind of thing, but I don't want Elder Chiyun to be suspicious, so I want to ask you to go there in person."
"Are you so sure that I will help?" Zhao Shu had been instructed by the Third Elder Chiyun, so he didn't want to implicate Chiyundu.
"Unifying Kunlun does not necessarily mean killing you to death." He Qingchen said: "If all Chiyun are willing to submit, everyone from the three elders of Chiyun to many generals, commanders, and officials can be appointed, promoted, and promoted.
, Chiyundu can also revive the inheritance of the Immortal family."
"The three elders did not do these things for the sake of high official status, salary, power, fame and fortune." Zhao Shu said with a straight face.
"Of course I know, but what about other than the three elders?" He Qingchen asked back: "Let me tell you clearly, taking over half of Huaxu Kingdom is the limit of Chiyun City. They may be able to separate themselves, but
It is difficult to hold on for a long time. Rather than resorting to large-scale warfare, it is better to surrender as soon as possible to leave a way for everyone to survive and restore peace to the people."
Zhao Shu said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, back then, the Xiong Kingdom took advantage of the five kingdoms to wipe out their troops and forced Chiyundu to go to the Huaxu Kingdom. I'm afraid they had a grudge against the Xiong Kingdom."
"I had no right to preside over this matter back then. If Chi Yun really wants to be held accountable, I guess no one can bear the responsibility." He Qingchen nodded and said thoughtfully: "But I also understand the thoughts of the three elders of Chi Yun... Well, I heard
Chiyundu lacks weapons and weapons. Facing the Huaxu Kingdom's talisman soldiers and talisman armor, they are exhausted on the battlefield. The Xiong Kingdom can help them, which can be regarded as a first sign of goodwill."
"You... shouldn't you be playing the same trick on Huaxu Kingdom?" Zhao Shu suddenly asked: "At the same time, send soldiers and weapons to both sides, let them fight each other, snipe and clam fight, so that
There are fishermen in the country of bears who benefit from it.”
"You really reminded me that you can still do this!" He Qingchen deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened, then shook his head and said: "Now there are two parties fighting each other in Huaxu Kingdom, and I will win over the weak Chi Yun.
They are all providing help in times of need. Moreover, in the Huaxu Kingdom, Grand Sima Luo Yi is now in charge of the government, and he may soon seek to usurp the throne, which is a good opportunity to take action."
"Usurping the throne?" Zhao Shu was shocked when he heard this.
"Is it strange?" He Qingchen smiled and said: "That's right. Do you think everyone is like me? I have a good son waiting to inherit the country, called Luo, what is Luo?"
"Luo Xixian." Zhao Shu said.
"Do you know him?" He Qingchen asked.
"He is also a monk of the Huaiying Hall." Zhao Shu sighed helplessly, but he did not expect that the same disciple in the past would actually embark on a completely different path.
But at this moment, Zhao Shui suddenly thought of Xin Shunying. The Xin family's father and daughter were proficient in divination. They chose to marry the Luo family, perhaps because they predicted future changes. Could it be that they were waiting for the great Sima Luo Yi to usurp the Huaxu Kingdom?
Bit?
If this is the case, Zhao Shui doesn't know if the Xin family's father and daughter are really smart. With the current situation in Huaxu Kingdom, even if the Great Sima really usurps the throne and ascends the throne, in the final analysis, it will only be half of the country, which is much worse than in the past.
In addition to facing Chiyundu, the Xiong Kingdom is also eyeing him. Even if Great Sima succeeds in usurping the throne, the leader of the country will not be able to sit on the throne for long.
"The decline of Huaxu Country is irreversible. I just need to add fuel to the flames." He Qingchen said, "If you really don't want to, I won't force you."
"I'll go, but I can't guarantee that I can convince the Third Elder Chiyun." Zhao Shui still chose to agree.
He Qingchen said: "You don't have to rush to convince the three elders of Chiyun. This kind of thing cannot be determined in just one trip. If there is progress, I will personally visit several counties in the southeast and take that opportunity to talk to the three elders again."
There is no need for them to risk traveling to the emperor for a meeting."
Zhao Shu took the letter, and He Qingchen added: "You only need to go see Chiyun, the third elder. I will arrange the weapons and weapons, and someone will naturally contact you."
"I understand." Zhao Shu was about to leave when he suddenly asked: "I'm curious, do you plan to return power to the Emperor Xiong after your death? That young emperor, who only occasionally shows up at court meetings, really
Can you take on important responsibilities?"
"Not necessarily." He Qingchen replied almost without thinking.
"Then what's the point of doing all this now?" This is also Zhao Shu's biggest confusion at the moment: "I can almost conclude that even if you die, you will leave a bad reputation. Maybe future generations will.
Overthrow all your decrees and all your efforts and efforts now will only become a joke in the future."
"I don't do these things for the sake of fame in the future, nor for the sake of having the Xiong Kingdom." He Qingchen's eyes showed no hesitation at all: "Many people think that I am doing it for no reason, but it is not the case. Just like setting up subjects and selecting scholars,
Did you just dream it up out of thin air?”
"No." Zhao Miao replied: "Every college in Huaxu Kingdom has its own examination homework. I just generalize it."
"Each academy teaches different types of techniques. What should we do if we want to implement the establishment of subjects and select scholars?" He Qingchen asked again.
Zhao Shu had a vague understanding: "There must be rules to follow, so that the subjects of magic must be unified. For this reason, regulations must be compiled to clarify the system."
"If we want to clarify the system and change or abolish the old rules and customs, the people who used to manage the situation will have to give up their power. The Rising Sun God Sect jumped out on its own, which saved me a lot of trouble." He Qingchen said: "I understand.
What? I just adapt to the situation. What I can do specifically is not something I can achieve based on my wishful thinking.
As for what future generations will do, that is not something I can judge. Since I cannot know everything, there must be some gaps. That is the difficulty that future generations will face. I cannot help even if I want to, so naturally there is no need to do more.
think."
Zhao Shu remained silent. He found that He Qingchen, who was also living in a secular court, was far less indulgent in the secular world than he was in the past. He was open-minded and had a transcendent vision, and at the same time he was able to do things pragmatically.
Such people will not lose heart even if they face difficult situations. For this reason alone, He Qingchen's character is much better than that of Zhao Shu.
"Compared to the blessed places of immortality such as Tiancheng Mountain, perhaps the human world is your training ground." Zhao Shu said.
"When people from the Taiyi Sect heard this, they would think you were talking nonsense." He Qingchen smiled and said: "After all, no one who aspires to the immortal way would set foot in a first-class filthy place like the mortal court.
Too deep.”
"It's hard to say." After talking to He Qingchen, Zhao Shu was greatly inspired and felt that all his doubts had been swept away.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was about to leave, He Qingchen suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, what are you going to do with that Immortal Weng Shen Ding?"
"It's yours." Zhao Shu waved his hand: "Just take advantage of your life and stay a little longer. This must be Princess Wu'an's intention."
