What is the mystery behind the so-called spiritual realm?
What exactly does Taibu want to get from the spiritual realm?
No matter what his purpose was, Xu Zhiqiong did not want Tao Huayuan to take risks.
"Tao'er, if you don't go, what can Taibu do to you? He probably won't come to Yu Xianguo to look for you."
Tao Huayuan said with a bitter look on her face: "He said that he had recorded this matter in the book of iron promises. If I break my promise, he will never forgive me."
Book of Iron Words?
Tao Huayuan is thousands of miles away, can the iron book be of any use?
Is this old guy just messing around?
Don't be reckless.
It's hard to fathom Taibu's intentions, and it's hard to tell what methods he will use.
Since he dared to let Taoer come alone, he must have a way to control her.
"That's all, let me think about countermeasures in the past few days, and I will make a decision when I get to Wansheng City."
At dawn the next day, Mo Chi said goodbye to Ke Kun, the lord of Qingshui City, and took Xu Zhiqiong and others to Wansheng City.
The handsome women were waiting outside the mansion door with wooden beds. Xu Zhiqiong said to Kekun, "Can I trouble you, Lord, to prepare two carriages?"
Mo Chi asked in surprise: "What do you want a carriage for?"
"It's a long way to go. If these girls carry it all the way, I really won't be able to bear it."
Mo Chi was puzzled: "You pity such a woman?"
"Shu is as beautiful as flowers and jade, but who doesn't pity her?"
Out of etiquette considerations, Xu Zhiqiong asked the girls to carry him into Qingshui City yesterday.
It was just a short walk. If someone kept carrying him, Xu Zhiqiong would not feel so majestic. Instead, he would feel ashamed.
Mo Chi had no choice but to order Ke Kun to prepare a carriage. The girls followed the carriage and walked all the way towards Wansheng City.
There is not only jungle in Yu Xianguo. After passing through a mountain range, Xu Zhiqiong saw a large field with rolling waves of wheat, which gave Xu Zhiqiong the illusion of being trapped in the sea.
Those who were busy in the wheat fields were all women. Looking at them from the perspective of sinful karma children, many of them had cultivation abilities.
At dusk, Mo Chi ordered the car to stop and camp for the night. During dinner, Shan Yan looked at the wheat waves and said, "It's time to harvest the second season's grain."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "You said this is the food for the second season?"
Mo Chi said: "The first season's grain harvest was finished as early as April."
"Is there a third season?"
Mo Chi smiled and said nothing.
Shan Yan said aside: "I, Dayu, produce food in four seasons a year. The first season is harvested in April, the second season is harvested in June, the third season is harvested in August, and the four seasons are harvested in winter.
Rest for the first month in the twelfth lunar month, offer sacrifices to the God of Fire in the first month, start plowing in the second month, and harvest in April."
Xu Zhiqiong was dumbfounded. How much grain will be produced this year?
"If you farm like this, the land won't be able to bear it, right?"
Shan Yan said: "The land is cultivated for three years and rested for one year. During the rest year, specialized farmers cultivate the land. After one year, it will be as fertile as before."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the endless waves of wheat and couldn't help feeling envious in his heart.
Is he the only one envious?
Obviously not.
The Gu tribe fell into the hands of Xiao Songting. If he conquered Yu Xian, Nu Fu Church would build an empire that would make Da Xuan fearful.
…
That night, Xu Zhiqiong took out the copper lotus and tried to contact Taibu to discuss Tao Huayuan's matter with him.
After contacting him for two whole hours, there was no reply from Taibu.
In the Department of Yin and Yang, Taibu sat in front of the green lantern, quietly listening to Xu Zhiqiong's call in his ear, but never gave a response.
"Taibu, have you slept yet? I have something to discuss with you."
He knew what Xu Zhiqiong wanted to discuss with him, but there was no need to discuss this matter.
If there is no need to discuss, don't discuss it, so as not to hurt the harmony.
After riding in a carriage for two more days, Xu Zhiqiong and his party arrived at Wansheng City, the imperial capital of Yu Xianguo.
The overall structure of Wansheng City is somewhat similar to Qingshui City. It is also a circular city, but the scale of the city is much larger.
The city is five feet high and there is a moat outside the city. Princess Yu Xianhuang's sister, Princess Yanghuan, personally went out of the city to greet her.
Mo Chi got off the carriage and saluted his aunt respectfully. The two of them chatted in Yu Xianhua for a long time, but Xu Zhiqiong could not understand a word.
Mo Chi quickly introduced: "This is the Yunhou of Daxuan, Xu Zhiqiong."
Princess Yang Huan stared at Xu Zhiqiong's pale cheek for a moment, then smiled slightly and said: "I'm afraid no one will adopt a sick person as a human being."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "It seems that princesses often adopt human species."
Princess Yang Huan's face sank, her eyebrows raised, she looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Who are you, but you dare to be rude to me?"
Xu Zhiqiong said, neither humble nor arrogant: "I am the Grand Marquis of Xuanyun, but you were the first to be rude."
Yang Huan waved his hand, and two guards walked up, one on the left and the other on the right.
These two guards are men. It is really not easy to see a man in Yu Xianguo.
Both of these two people only have eighth-level cultivation. How can a princess use such low-level bodyguards?
When Xu Zhiqiong is in good health, he can take care of them in the blink of an eye.
Even if the situation was not good, it didn't matter. Tao Huayuan cast a magic circle, and the two guards were caught off guard. Their four legs stumbled together and they both fell to the ground.
Princess Yang Huan looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a cold face: "You are a hostage from the Xuan Kingdom. You dare to provoke me before you even set foot in the capital?"
"I am the lucky prince of Xuanguo," Xu Zhiqiong repeated, "it was you who provoked me first."
"I really admire your courage." Princess Yang Huan waved her hand again, and two more women walked out from behind. These two women had fifth-level cultivation.
At that time, those two men were just for appearance. In Yu Xianguo, men were too rare. Having male guards around them was a symbol of status.
These two women are difficult to deal with, and Princess Yang Huan herself has a sixth-grade cultivation level.
Even if it is difficult to deal with, it must be dealt with.
When they meet, they want to show off their power, but Xu Zhiqiong doesn’t accept this!
He mobilized the power of imagery and moved the Yuanyang Blade on his waist. It seemed that he needed to stretch his muscles today.
Tao Huayuan looked indifferent and didn't take the other party seriously at all.
The two sides were about to take action, but Mo Chi watched from the side as if nothing happened.
Is this guy really interested in watching a show?
He didn't seem to care at all about the friction between me and the princess.
Shan Yan stepped forward and persuaded in Yu Xian's words: "Your Royal Highness, Marquis Yun has a very high status in Xuan State. Since we want to form an alliance with Xuan State, we cannot hurt him."
Princess Yang Huan glanced at Shan Yan and said with a fierce look in her eyes: "Get away!"
Shan Yan wanted to say more, but Mo Chi pulled her aside.
The sword was drawn twice, and suddenly he felt a hot air coming from the top of his head.
Tao Huayuan was no longer calm.
There are high-quality cultivators around her, whose cultivation level is above hers.
Xu Zhiqiong signaled Tao Huayuan to set up a magic circle and let her escape first.
He himself cannot escape, otherwise the alliance between the two countries will be over.
But I saw an old man swooping down from the air. He didn't come towards Xu Zhiqiong or Tao Huayuan. He rushed down Shanyan with a deep groan.
"Obstacle, take your life!"
Xu Zhiqiong took a closer look and recognized this man.
The former eldest uncle of Zhuque Palace, Yan Huan.
But seeing Yan Huan reaching out to grab Shan Yan's head, Shan Yan tried her best to dodge, but was still caught in the shoulder, and a large piece of flesh was burned on the shoulder.
Yan Huan groaned again, and the people around him heard it. They were fine. After Shan Yan heard this, he vomited a mouthful of blood, and nine wheat seedlings sprouted from the wound on his shoulder. The wheat seedlings took root and continued to spread into Shan Yan's body.
The Suzaku is born with the sixth level skill, and the Danque has nine ears.
This skill was not originally used for fighting, but for farming on barren land.
No matter how barren the land is, or even if it is a stone, as long as the nine-tassel technique is used, nine wheat seedlings can take root on the stone and multiply.
However, when Suzaku reached the third level of cultivation, the technique changed. The technique of Nine Spikes could be used on living creatures, becoming a ruthless means of killing enemies.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't understand how much hatred the two of them had and why Yan Huan wanted to kill him.
But Shan Yan knew it in her heart.
When she was doing detailed work in Daxuan, she first followed King Huai and was later captured alive by Emperor Zhaoxing.
While working under Emperor Zhaoxing, she cooperated with Gongsun Wen in the Zhuque Palace of Yuanzhou to kill Liang Gongping, the Shengci Elder of Canglong Palace.
This move was partly due to helplessness, and the other half was an order from Emperor Yu Xian. No matter what the purpose was, she caused great harm to the great uncle Yanhuan, and in the end everything was blamed on Yanhuan.
Mo Chi shouted: "Uncle Zong, please listen to me. Uncle Zong, Shan Yan has some difficulties..."
How could Yan Huan listen? When he thought of Shan Yan, his teeth itched with hatred. How could he spare her life after seeing her today?
At the critical moment of life and death, Mo Chi's persuasion was fruitless, and he hugged Shan Yan to block Yan Huan and said: "Uncle Zong, Shan Yan did this on the order of his father. If you must kill me, just kill me."
!”
Xu Zhiqiong was startled, and Mo Chi's attitude surprised him.
Could it be that Mo Chi and Shan Yan really had an affair?
No, it’s not that simple!
Yan Huan gasped for a long time.
Princess Yang Huan was nearby, her face turned pale and she didn't dare to say anything.
This is the strength of a third-level cultivator. If he loses his mind, no one present can stop him.
"That's alright!" Yan Huan looked at Shan Yan and said, "I'll keep you alive for a few days. After you take care of your funeral affairs, we'll make an end of it!"
He harvested the sixth-grade skills, and the ears of wheat he planted on Shan Yan disappeared.
When Yan Huan calmed down, he turned his face and said to Xu Zhiqiong in Daxuan Mandarin: "Xu Denglang, it's been a long time."
The two met in Wanganjing and knew each other, but they had no close friendship.
Xu Zhiqiong cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Zong, your temper still hasn't changed."
"It's hard to change at your age," Yan Huan smiled bitterly, turned to look at Princess Yanghuan, and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "Just now, you and Her Royal Highness seem to have some disputes?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "It's not really a dispute. Princess Yanghuan likes to joke, so she insists on making me a human being."
Yan Huan lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a cold expression.
Tao Huayuan was sweating profusely and was ready to fight for her life.
Xu Zhiqiong looked calm and looked back silently.
Looking at each other for a long time, Yan Huan suddenly laughed.
"I've heard before that you like to joke, and you really deserve your reputation. I have some fragrant mash at home, come and have a drink with me!"
Xu Zhiqiong cupped his fists and said, "It is better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders."
Princess Yanghuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Yan Huan was so kind to Xu Zhiqiong. He should not be familiar with Xu Zhiqiong.
She was right, Yan Huan was indeed very kind to Xu Zhiqiong.
It is true that he and Xu Zhiqiong are not familiar with each other, but he likes Xu Zhiqiong's authentic Daxuan Mandarin.
He has stayed in Daxuan for too long, and he likes the tone so much.
