Master Huanglong returned from the human world and was about to go to Yuxu Palace after climbing Qilin Cliff. Suddenly he stopped and turned towards Yuquan Peak.
"I'm afraid that I have been influenced by the short-lived human race, and I want to complete everything as soon as possible," he shook his head and muttered to himself: "If I rashly ask to see the Master, just to say back, 'There are no abnormalities in human dynasties,' I don't know what will happen."
No matter how you are punished, it is better to wait until the next time Master gives a sermon to repay you."
The situation of the dynasties in the human world cannot actually be said to be "unusual". King Xia was keen on plundering the wealth and women of the "rebellious tribes". He was hostile to almost all tribes and countries except the direct territories and foreign countries in the four directions. The people of the surrounding tribes
He even shouted the slogan "I wish we all would perish".
As for the Xia Dynasty, as the head of the military officials and a disciple of the outer sect, Guan Longfeng was a direct minister. He only listened to King Xia's orders in everything, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Zhonggu, the head of the civil service, was an old cunning man who could always make King Xia do what he wanted.
Zhao Liang, who has the most influence in the court, is a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He has no ability other than teaching King Xia how to play.
.
The Xia Dynasty seemed to be suffering from internal and external troubles, but in fact it was impregnable - because the gap in military force was extremely huge.
After seeing the total strength of the Xia Dynasty's military camp, Huang Long made a special trip to the surrounding countries. Assuming that the number of troops in the Xia Dynasty was "ten", then the combined strength of all the surrounding tribes would only be "five" at most.
Moreover, this is "all the troops" that can be brought to the battlefield. This does not include the standing army of the Xia Dynasty, which is mainly separated from production. It is strictly trained and has strong soldiers and horses. However, the troops of the surrounding tribes still need to farm land and have less training.
The equipment also varies greatly.
In addition, although the King of Xia went about extorting money and fighting everywhere, he never caused trouble in the Xia Dynasty. At most, he just kidnapped some beautiful women and led them to live a luxurious life so that they would never go back. So far, no one has really
If you can live without food and salt, you would rather die than surrender - well, this specifically refers to the behavior of preferring to die of hunger and thirst rather than touch the things in the palace.
The only one who ran away was Meixi, and the only ones who never succeeded were the Min sisters.
At least in the capital of Xia, Huanglong Zhenren never heard any people complain about King Xia. They were more interested in talking about where King Xia had gone and who he had robbed. The officials in the court were only dissatisfied with Zhao.
Liang misled King Xia about his actions, but had no objection to King Xia himself.
The only ones who can threaten the Xia Dynasty are those half-empty ascetics, such as the Min sisters. Ascetics at this level cannot ascend due to the catastrophe, and their lifespan is limited. They are likely to be killed for some purpose.
The tribes who opposed King Xia recruited thugs. Although King Sigui and Guan Longfeng of Xia could defeat the sisters, if more monks swarmed them, it would be difficult for them to gain favor.
Then, the solution is to suggest that the Heavenly Court should pay more attention to the safety of the Xia Dynasty royal family, and be especially wary of those monks with evil intentions.
From this point of view, the situation of the Xia Dynasty can indeed be called "not very abnormal", because none of these trivial things is qualified to report to the saints.
So, it is really more important to go and see how Yuding's new apprentice is doing.

Yuquan Peak, Jinxia Cave.
Kunlun Mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain range. In addition to Qilin Cliff where Yuxu Palace is located, there are twelve main peaks. The cave that Yuding Master chose for himself is located on the top of one of them, the "Yuquan Peak" with spring water emerging from it.
"superior.
When Huanglong arrived, he saw the spectacular "Jade Spring" pouring down from the peak in the distance.
As for the "Jinxia Cave", its meaning is somewhat unclear. There is no golden light or clouds nearby. I can only guess that it is Yuding's own naming preference. After all, there is a saying in the human world that gold and jade are outside, and there is nothing - no, it should be
It's a good match... There still seems to be a problem. Is it a chance meeting? It's still not right, so forget it.
"Huanglong, what kind of wind blows you here?" When Master Huanglong pressed his head on the cloud, Master Yuding, who was wearing bright yellow Taoist robes, took the initiative to come out of the cave to greet him.
"Golden Wind." Huang Long replied smoothly.
"..." Yuding didn't know how to answer these words for a moment and was stunned on the spot.
"Ahem, what I mean is that the mission of the deputy master master has been completed. There is nothing abnormal and it is not worth repaying immediately, so I came to you to see how my nephew is doing." Master Huang Long added.
"He, hey... come in." Yuding shook his head and led Huanglong into his cave.
Jade Cauldron is still not used to being a "living creature", so Huang Long looked around as he walked.
Perhaps because the real person Yuding has been a "Jade Chime" for too long, he regards dead objects as his own kind. There are almost no furnishings in the cave, and the original style of the cave is restored as much as possible. Huanglong even saw an ordinary tree.
Wild fruit trees grow in the main hall of the cave, and a jade spring of running water is deliberately introduced around it. If it is not needed for meditation, he may not even plan to put a futon.
"He is right there," Yu Ding sighed as he raised his hand and pointed to the tree: "Although he can no longer escape on his own, he still ignores my wish to accept a disciple."
Isn't it? How long have I been wandering in the human world, and I haven't even managed to get a sheep from the Jade Cauldron? Huang Long looked at it and was speechless for a moment.
Next to the fruit tree was a large rock. The goat that had been carried back by the jade tripod was standing on it. It raised its chin high and looked down at the jade tripod and Huanglong with an attitude that seemed to say "stupid mortal".
"Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?" It seemed that Huanglong's arrival gave Yuding hope, so he took the initiative to ask the goat.
When the goat heard this, he rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side.
"Wait?" Huang Long looked surprised: "You just said that and it's over?"
"Otherwise?" Yu Ding asked in equal surprise: "As disciples of saints and Daluo Jinxian, do we still need to use coercion and inducement in the human world?"
"You said this, does Yang understand? I'm afraid he thinks you are a boastful wild man, right?" Huanglong raised his head and looked at the top of the cave. Sure enough, the jade tripod has been used as a "vessel" for too long, and it is impossible to predict his behavior with common sense.
.
"Then..." Yuding seemed to be aware of the problem, but didn't know what to do.
"Look at me." Master Huanglong rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the sheep. After all, his body once had no fixed shape, so he was quite proficient in the magical power of transformation.
Under the contemptuous gaze of the goat, Huanglong first transformed into a goat exactly like it, then an elk, a jackal, a tiger, and a giant elephant. Then his style changed and he transformed into a sparrow, a seagull, a vulture, a roc, and then a small roc.
The fish, the giant turtle, the giant shark and the beluga finally turned into a golden dragon and circled down, transforming back into themselves.
During this period, Master Yuding also cooperated in enlarging and shrinking the cave to accommodate the transformed body of Master Huanglong.
"If you are willing to accept him as your teacher, I will teach you the 'Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques'." Huang Long finally said.
Although Yuding felt something was wrong, he still looked at the goat eagerly.
"..." The goat looked at Huanglong and then at the jade tripod, and finally nodded slowly.
