The Golden Crow falls in the west and the Jade Rabbit rises in the east. Today is not a full moon night, but it is also a rare sunny day with a gentle breeze and a sky full of stars.
"Rutoro, do you really mean what you just said?——"
Rutoluo, who was already in the later stage of "Daluo Jinxian", was half-kneeling on the ground at this moment, wishing he could bury his head in the ground.
The incident happened suddenly. When everyone saw that His Highness King Jin had something to deal with, they all left and went back.
Fortunately, the banquet was already more than half over, and we had eaten the peaches we should eat, and drank the "baihua dew" we should drink. Some of them even achieved breakthroughs on the spot.
Those in the "tribulation" period are working hard to suppress themselves. They have not yet finished absorbing the energy in the flat peach and "hundred flower dew", and they are about to break through to the "celestial being" realm.
As His Highness the King of Jin had something to deal with, they quickly headed east to Chang'an City under the guidance of Qin Huaiyu.
In the "Prince Jin's Mansion", as more and more people break through to the realm of "celestial beings", there will even be higher realms to attack in the future. Early in the east of Chang'an City, a special hall for overcoming thunder tribulations has been opened.
Place.
However, no one expected that so many people would pass through the tribulation at the same time today.
The first one is Qin Qiong. This old man is also from the "Prince Jin's Mansion". He was originally at the pinnacle of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty. In recent years, he has been surpassed by a younger generation, so Qin Qiong can only practice hard in secret.
Before that, he had reached the peak of "overcoming the tribulation". At the banquet, Qin Qiong only drank a few bowls of wine, and even before he had time to eat the peaches, he felt that his "immortal" tribulation was coming. p>
Ranked second is Wei Zheng. This old man Wei is not very impressive on weekdays, but his cultivation is also growing steadily.
Looking back, Sun Simiao, Luo Tong, Yan Chixia, Yuan Tiangang and Bai Suzhen also followed.
They are not here to survive the "celestial immortal" tribulation. Among them, Yan Chixia and Yuan Tiangang are already facing the arrival of the "true immortal" realm, and Li Zhi's only disciple Bai Suzhen is even more exaggerated, and is about to reach the "mysterious immortal" realm. In such a grand scene of overcoming a tribulation, although their respective levels are not too high, there are so many people going through the tribulation at the same time.
......
"Uncle, it's already this time, how dare I, Rutoro, lie to you with lies? Hey, it's all my fault——"
In the main hall, Fairy Yunhua, Yang Jian and Roaring Sky Dog and their party have left.
After the worship ceremony, these few chatted briefly with the Emperor and Empress of the Tang Dynasty. After all, there was still a big gap between the two, and they didn't seem to have much in common.
Yang Jian used the excuse that Heavenly Court was busy and protected his mother before leaving, but Nezha stayed.
Firstly, he himself did not want to return to heaven for the time being, and secondly, Nezha had come to ask for something, but he had been at the banquet and he had not had time to ask.
Now in the main hall, Li Shimin and Changsun Wujia were sitting in the middle. Although they couldn't get involved, they became even more interested when they heard that Li Zhi was involved in this matter, and even Li Zhi had a "daughter" suddenly appear.
.
On the other side, the "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan, Ao Ling, Changsun Pingting and Li Mingda were present. Who made Rutuolo shout with such an amazing voice?
The other people in the "Prince Jin's Mansion" either ran to escape the tribulation, or were blocked from the main hall by Bai Zhi.
This Bai Zhi is really a loyal protector of the Lord. He also wanted to know what happened, but he still guarded the door of the palace resolutely.
It has been almost four years since I said this. At that time, in order to find the origin of the "Lingming Stone Monkey" for Sun Wukong, Li Zhi went to the underworld alone. By some strange combination of circumstances, he even came to the "Devil Palace" in the Netherworld and Blood Sea.<
/p>
Of all things in the world, fate is the hardest thing to explain. Luo Jia, the little princess of the Asura tribe, fell in love with Li Zhi.
She was a woman who dared to love and hate, and she had her sister as a role model, plus a willful father. Everything happened without Li Zhi's knowledge.
With two "Yin Yang Fruits", Li Zhi naturally broke through to the peak of "Golden Immortal" in one fell swoop, and also achieved the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" Tao Fruit of the little princess Luo Jia.
When Li Zhi left, he did not see the little princess Luo Jia again. What he heard at the time was that the little princess Luo Jia had just broken through to the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" and needed to retreat to consolidate her cultivation.
Little did they know that the breakthrough in their cultivation had already happened more than a year ago.
Li Zhizhi was satisfied and left happily, but he didn't know that high up in the "Tianmo Palace", the little princess Luo Jia was standing leaning on the railing, holding a baby girl who had just turned three months old in her arms.
That was naturally the daughter born from the union between Li Zhi and the little princess Luo Jia. This daughter came too strangely, and Li Zhi and Luo Jia had only a verbal engagement at best.
In desperation, Luo Jia chose to hide Li Zhi temporarily and raised his newborn daughter alone, naming her "Li Luo".
Now, counting the time, Li Luo is almost two years old. He has been born with a "celestial immortal" cultivation level and has caught up with the dragon clan.
The fact that the little princess Luo Jia gave birth to a daughter is considered a small secret even in the "Tianmo Palace".
However, Rutoro knows the inside story. He is not only one of the four great demon generals of the Asura clan, but also a person loyal to Zizai Tenha Shun.
In the entire "Tianmo Palace", Rutoro is the most familiar with Li Zhi. When he sees the little Liluo growing up in front of him, the ugly Rutoro always shows a "kind" smile.
As soon as Liluo started to walk, Rutuolo almost became a full-time "nanny", teaching Xiaoliluo various interesting little spells in various ways.
Born in such an environment, with the blood of Li Zhi and Luo Jia flowing through her body, Xiao Liluo's talent was not a problem. Not only did she inherit the beauty of the Asura woman, she also inherited Li Zhi's shamanic body. Of course, after all, Xiao Liluo is still young. Although he also has elements of "Witch Body", he cannot even reach the level of a Little Witch, but he is still better than many people in the "Celestial Immortal" realm.
With Xiao Liluo by his side, Luojia completely changed his past temperament, became gentle and kind, and even began to study various classics of the human race.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In this regard, her father Bo Xun claimed to be a "human expert" and became her teacher without hesitation, which gave the father and daughter another topic to talk about.
It seemed that everything was going on peacefully, and the Demon King Bo Xun even began to personally enlighten this lovely little granddaughter, but something unexpected happened.
One day, Rutuolo suddenly had a whim and took Xiao Liluo to swim in the Nether Sea of Blood. He accidentally left the sea of blood and ran to the "Yellow Spring".
No matter how old Xiao Liluo is, even though he has the realm of "celestial being", he has not learned any attack or defense skills, let alone the dangers of the outside world.
Xiao Liluo disappeared. To be more precise, someone snatched Xiao Liluo away from under Rutuolo's nose!
This time, the hornet's nest was stung. The entire "Demon Palace" took action, and Demon King Bo Xun almost brought down the entire underworld.
For this reason, he even had a fight with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was in retreat.
It's a pity that these two are both in the "quasi-sage" realm. Even if Bo Xun has a slight upper hand, it won't be able to resolve the battle in a short time.
The two of them caused enough trouble in the underworld. In the end, it was Po Meng who came forward to temporarily resolve the storm.
But where did Xiao Liluo go?
Demon King Bo Xun, Meng Po, and even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva worked together, but they couldn't find any clues in the underworld, as if this little girl had never been to the underworld.
What a coincidence. At this time, our omniscient Listening Master entered the retreat again.
Who can take away a person from the underworld and leave several "quasi-sage" bosses so helpless?
This question is terrifying to think about!
Although this underworld is a place where various forces compete, when they really face unknown dangers, these parties will also unconsciously temporarily unite together.
Rutuolo no longer remembers how many times he was asked. He is also a late-stage cultivator of "Daluo Jinxian". He is not a mediocre person, but he really watched Xiao Liluo lost.
"Master Demon King, who is the lost little girl? How could a little girl less than two years old attract such a terrifying person?"
Finally, it was Mrs. Meng who spoke.
Despite this humble appearance, even Bo Xun, who has always been fearless, or Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the great Buddhist figure, were respectful in front of Po Meng.
"Hey, it's a long story. That little girl is the daughter of Luojia, my granddaughter of Bo Xun. Her father is a very important person in the human race. Who would have thought..."<
/p>
At this time, Bo Xun, who was as powerful as a "quasi-sage", also felt powerless. How could he explain this to Li Zhi?
Of course, at this time, Li Zhi didn't know that such a thing had happened. He didn't even know that he already had a daughter in this world.
"Amitabha, Demon King Bo Xun, old monk, can I ask, who is the father of your little granddaughter?"
"You know, although this child was lost from the underworld, according to you, this child has stayed in the 'Demon Palace' since he was born and has never had any contact with the outside world."
"Although little Princess Luojia has a small reputation, she is only in the Netherworld Blood Sea. She would never attract someone with such a background."
Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not deal with the entire Asura clan, he still has his own unique way of thinking when analyzing problems.
In fact, both Po Meng and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva are very interested in the little girl’s father.
That is the little princess of Luojia, the youngest member of the Asura clan to break through to the "Daluo Golden Immortal". She is also extremely beautiful, and all the men in the Asura clan want to be their son-in-law.
"Well...it's getting late today, so let's find this place first. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first."
Demon King Bo Xun looked at the two "quasi-sages" on the left and right. Po Meng still had an air of being unconcerned with the matter. After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked that question, he seemed to have fallen into chanting the Buddha again? Speaking of which, these two are both "quasi-sage" masters. If you really need help from someone, they are indeed two rare helpers.
Bo Xun left, thinking of Li Zhi's identity, which he did not want to reveal to outsiders yet.
Yes, Bo Xun is not a weak-minded person. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can think of it. Even if he didn't think of it just now, it is now almost certain.
The disappearance of Xiao Liluo must be related to Li Zhi.
Of course, Bo Xun would not be stupid enough to suspect that Li Zhi had snatched Xiao Liluo away.
Firstly, Li Zhi didn’t know about Xiao Liluo’s existence at all. Secondly, even if he knew about it, would he still need to rob her if he wanted his daughter?
Besides, even if it was done by robbing, could Li Zhi have such skills?
......
"Father, have you found Luo'er?——"
As soon as Bo Xun returned to the "Tianmo Palace", little Princess Luojia ran over. Her red and swollen eyes showed that she had cried countless times.
At this time, Luo Jia was not a master of "Daluo Golden Immortal", she was just a weak mother.
"Jia'er, don't worry, even if my father searches through the three realms, he will definitely bring Luo'er back."
"Since that person kidnapped Luo'er, he will not harm her. Maybe there will be news soon. Besides, we are guarding the underworld..."
There were some words Bo Xun didn't say, but Luo Jia understood in his heart that his father's meaning was very obvious. Even if Xiao Liluo suffered an accident, wouldn't he eventually return to the underworld?
Sure enough, on the third day after the incident, Demon King Bo Xun was meditating, and Rutoro ran in from outside.
Hey, why do you always let Rutoro do it?
"Lord Demon King, this is a letter I just received. I didn't... didn't see anyone coming..."
Rutoluo has been completely depressed these past two days. He personally lost all the little ancestors of the "Tianmo Palace" and found an extra letter on his desk early in the morning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Rutoro understood that this should be the news that the Demon King was waiting for. He didn't even dare to open it, so he just took it and ran over.
"Sincerely invite King Jin to meet in the devil world——"
It's quite a big piece of paper - let's call it "paper", but it only has eight characters.
"An invitation from the devil's world?——"
Bo Xun frowned.
Even though this place is called "Tianmo Palace", Bo Xun also has the title of "Demon King". Unfortunately, they are only the Asura clan, not the demon clan.
The real demons have long been driven out of the wilderness by many great powers, and even Bo Xun himself was personally involved in this matter.
I only heard that those innate gods and demons did not die, but were in places outside the prehistoric times. Even Bo Xun didn't know where they went.
Of course, the characteristics of the demons are so weird that even the various races in the Three Realms may be possessed by the demons if they are not careful, just like his junior brother.
"Rutoluo, it seems that this matter is as expected by me. You should keep quiet for the time being. Change yourself and secretly leave the 'Tianmo Palace' and go to the Tang Dynasty to find Li Zhi."
"For the outside world, I claim that you were punished in this matter and locked up. Take this letter with you, and you will stay with Li Zhi for the time being and follow his arrangements."
Bo Xun is naturally not a fool, but a person with superior intelligence. After calming down, he understood the merits of this situation.
Such a situation cannot be solved by simple cultivation and combat power. Let alone a "quasi-sage", what about so many saints back then?
It seems that this should be Li Zhi's "disaster", or perhaps his "opportunity".
......
"Uncle, this subordinate knows only so much. You should think of a way to rescue Xiao Liluo quickly, right?"
Demon King Bo Xun may have known it well, but Rutuolo has already lost his control, not only because he lost Xiao Liluo, but also because this evil-faced demon general has become accustomed to playing with Xiao Liluo.<
/p>
"Pheasant slave, I don't know what you have done outside, and I don't know what this 'Devil Realm' is, but since 'Li Luo' is the blood of my Li family, you must bring it back to me——" Seeing that no one spoke in the hall, Li Shimin stood up, came to Li Zhi, patted his shoulder, and said seriously.
"Pheasant slave, your father is right. Whatever an adult does, no matter how difficult it is, should be borne by the adult. A child under two years old should not be allowed to suffer such a disaster."
"Chan'er, my mother has told you about the pheasant slave in the 'Tianmo Palace' before. However, we really don't know that he has a daughter. You..."
Changsun Wugou is a kind-hearted person, but she is also the most attentive. She warned Li Zhi while holding Yang Chan's hand.
"What did the Queen Mother say? Jiulang's disaster is my Yang Chan's disaster. Jiulang's daughter is also Yang Chan's daughter. How can Chan'er blame him?"
Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou left, and the hall fell into silence again.
......
Chang'an City, Prince Wei's Mansion.
Jin King Li Zhi is getting married today. In Chang'an City, the person who should have gone but has not is probably none other than Wei King Li Tai.
As for the other princes and princesses, it's okay to say that King Li Tai of Wei is, after all, a sibling of King Li Zhi of Jin, and Li Zhi is away from home all the year round. In fact, there is no real conflict between the two of them.
Of course, Li Zhi sent someone to deliver the invitation to the wedding early in the morning. The congratulatory gift from Wei King Li Tai was also delivered to the Jin Palace, but no one came.
The reason given by the Wei Palace is also very simple. His Highness the King of Wei - is ill.
Fortunately, King Li Tai of Wei has not used this as an excuse for a year or two. His health has not been very good in the past few years. It is not that he has any incurable disease. It can only be said that it is caused by obesity.
The current King of Wei, Li Tai, is less than forty years old. He seems to be about the same age as Li Shimin. He can only be considered to be of medium height and weighs as much as Li Zhi, who is one and a half years old.
So, is our lovely Prince Wei really sick?
When the lanterns were first lit, the palace of Prince Wei was filled with people and cheers kept coming.
In the main hall of Prince Wei's Mansion, there was also a grand banquet, with six tables set up. This ostentation even surpassed the wedding scene of Prince Jin.
Most of those present here are supporters of King Li Tai of Wei for many years, and some of them are here to participate in the Qiu Wei Festival this year.
The Imperial Examination in the Tang Dynasty was held every three years. Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty was caught up in the turmoil in Northern Xinjiang last year, and even Li Shimin went to Northern Xinjiang. The Prince Supervisor Li Chengqian simply postponed it for a year after discussing with all the important ministers. p>
This delay does not matter. Many people who were already on the road could not change their schedules and were stranded in Chang'an City.
Living in Chang'an is not easy.
Although the Tang Dynasty had just revealed its glory at this time, Chang'an, the most beautiful place in the Tang Dynasty, had already become prosperous.
Not every scholar can have enough food and clothing. Fortunately, the prince Li Chengqian also made some corresponding preparations. The imperial court bought several large inns for the free use of these scholars who came to Beijing. p>
With plenty of time, most candidates are still making preparations for the exam with peace of mind. Some people who have connections or are smart have already started to make preparations.
There is also a special name for this, called "Xingjuan", that is, in order to increase the possibility of passing the examination and strive for ranking, people often edit their daily poems and write them into scrolls, and submit them to those with status before the examination.
Please recommend.
There are many real literary scholars in Chang'an City, but it is a pity that several big guys headed by Kong Yingda, as if they had made an agreement, all declined Juzi's "exit papers".
Are you kidding me? Now that the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin has gone to Northern Xinjiang, it can be considered that he is in danger, and he has personally conquered it, right?
As for the prince Li Chengqian who supervised the country's governance, these important civil and military ministers at the core knew who would be the future ruler of the Tang Dynasty.
In this complicated moment, how can these literary giants still have the energy to stand out in the limelight, and do their work with peace of mind, isn't it good to practice behind closed doors?
Of course, there are exceptions to the huge city of Chang'an, such as our lovely His Highness the King of Wei.
Now that all the big names in the literary world have closed their doors and thanked guests, these unsuspecting posters must find a way to send the "book" out, right?
As a result, the Palace of the Prince of Wei became the only choice for many candidates.
The king of Wei, Li Tai, was also very ambitious, and he almost refused to accept anyone who came, and for a while it was like a bustling crowd.
Even at the beginning of spring this year, King Wei arranged a competition in his "Furong Garden".
All candidates who come to Beijing can participate, and for those who enter the top twenty, Wei King Li Tai will even give 10,000 taels of silver from his private treasury as a bonus.
The grand occasion at the "Furong Garden" was unprecedented. People from all over the Tang Dynasty actively participated and tried their best to take this opportunity to become famous.
Those who do good deeds are even crowned as "King Chunwei of Wei".
At that time, the Supreme Emperor Li Shimin had already returned from Northern Xinjiang, but he quietly moved into the "Prince Jin's Mansion" without anyone disturbing him.
Of course, Li Shimin was well aware of Wei Wang Li Tai's actions, but he did not say a word or say a word.
Even Li Shimin was like this, and Li Chengqian, the prince of the country, would not interfere even more, and he seemed to let things go.
No, in the end, twenty winners were selected. Not only did they share the 10,000 taels of silver given by King Li Tai of Wei, but they also became guests of the Prince of Wei's Mansion.
No, today His Royal Highness the King of Jin is getting married, and "coincidentally" King Li Tai of Wei is also holding a poetry gathering in his mansion, so these twenty poets naturally become the most active people at the table.
......
"Your Highness, it's already the second watch. Although there is no curfew now, it is getting late after all, so you should rest."
Sitting next to King Li Tai of Wei was none other than Du Chuke, who had regarded himself as the number one counselor under King Wei for many years. Changsun Huan, the second son of Changsun's family, was also sitting at the main table.
"Humph, that's really disappointing. Where are you from? Do you usually stay up all night long?"
The fat Li Tai was already seventy percent drunk, but he still didn’t want to leave.
"Your Highness, Mrs. Wu just sent someone to deliver a message, asking you to break up the banquet and go to her study. What do you think?..."
Du Chuke still said what he least wanted to say, but there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Wu Niangzi"?
Naturally, she was a woman who came to the residence of King Li Tai of Wei a year ago, but she was not a concubine, let alone a slave, but an aide to King Li Tai of Wei.
No one knows what this "Warrior Lady" looks like. She always covers her face with a gauze veil when she sees people every day. From her voice and body shape, she can tell that she is a young woman.
After the arrival of "Wu Niangzi", she showed her skills and gave several ideas to King Li Tai of Wei. Not only did Li Tai's status among the literati of the Tang Dynasty increase, but even among the civil and military officials, there were more
The person contacted Li Tai privately.
As a result, Du Chuke's status in the Wei palace was bound to be affected. He also repeatedly made remarks in front of Wei Wang Li Tai in an attempt to slander and attack "Mrs. Wu".
However, the arrogant and arrogant His Royal Highness the King of Wei seems to be very afraid of this "Warrior Lady", maybe because he is crazy or something else?
No, Wei Wang Li Tai, who just wanted to stay up all night, suddenly sobered up after hearing that Du Chuke said it was "Mrs. Wu" who invited him.
"'Mrs. Wu' has invited me, why didn't you tell me earlier? Lead the way——"
After saying that, he actually stood up from his seat, shook his fat body, and hurriedly walked towards the east crossing...
