Taoist Guangcheng looked at Jiang Li with a smile and bright eyes, "Fellow Taoist Tianxuan is really courageous and skillful. I admire him."
He was talking about Tianxuan, but in fact Taoist Guangcheng had been observing Jiang Li, with a hint that this was indeed the case.
'What do you understand?'
Jiang Li had a hunch that Taoist Guangcheng seemed to have misunderstood something.
Tianxuan was able to bring up the position of Imperial Master with a clear goal, and was not like Jiang Li who wanted to play a trick with empty hands.
Nowadays, the most influential people in the imperial court are still the combination of Tianxuan, Ji Lingguang, Jiang Li and others, which can be said to have overwhelming power. If they are willing to support a certain prince, they have a high probability of pushing him to the top.
of the throne.
They must do the same.
If the emperor still fails to escape the predicament and the emperor's Dao fruit fails to be passed down, then the next emperor will no longer be an absolutely just emperor, but a mortal with selfish desires. If the person who succeeds to the throne is not one of his own, wouldn't it be
Coming to a reckoning?
If the Emperor's Dao Fruit is passed down, then the next Emperor will not have human shortcomings. As long as Tianxuan and others do not go out of bounds, then he will naturally be able to accommodate these people. The Emperor who accommodates the Emperor's Dao Fruit does not need to worry
It belongs to powerful ministers, because it itself is the incarnation of the country.
Therefore, no matter what happens in the future, Tianxuan and Ji Lingguang will support a certain prince.
Considering the chaos, the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future will urgently need strong support. Even if the Emperor's Dao Fruit is passed down, external help will be needed to fill the gap. Yuxu Temple is the best choice for this external help.
No matter whether the emperor possesses the Son of Heaven's Dao Fruit or not, he will not be stingy about recognizing an imperial master to unite Yuxu Guan and Dazhou.
Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue can swear by heaven to guarantee this.
It's just that there is some inside story, and Taoist Guangcheng is unaware of it.
——That is the side effect of the Emperor Dao Fruit.
Taoist Guangcheng did not know that the person who accommodated the Emperor's Dao Fruit would become a perfect ruling machine, the incarnation of the dynasty. His understanding of the Emperor was extremely biased.
However, the contemporary emperor who is now offline can completely verify this deviation. The emperor's operations before being sealed were not like a wise king at all, and were full of selfish desires.
In the view of Guangcheng Taoist, being able to make such a promise on behalf of the emperor means that Tianxuan has already planned for the emperor's position and is determined to make the future emperor pay the price. It just so happens that there is a handsome guy on the scene who is qualified to succeed.
, even his own talent, potential, and strength are completely superior to the princes of the Ji family.
He is now the most powerful contender for the throne of emperor.
That's right, I'm talking about you - Jiang Li.
The promise given by Jiang Li was more like recruiting people into a gang to conspire to become emperor.
As for which family will inherit the throne of emperor after Jiang Li, that is a matter of the future. And with Cangtian around, Tianxuan does not need to worry about the throne of emperor always falling by the wayside.
Everything is connected in the heart of Taoist Guangcheng.
A clear look appeared on his face.
"Fellow Taoist has really posed a difficult problem for Pindao. The risks of such a big event are not small, but if you pay a fourth-grade Taoist fruit for investment, Pindao can't try it."
Taoist Guangcheng finished looking at Jiang Li and said slowly.
As long as Yuxu Temple does not decline, even if Jiang Li fails in his attempt to seize the throne of emperor, Yuxu Temple can escape.
If Yuxu Temple declines, even if this is not the case, it will fall into other difficulties sooner or later.
In this world, strength speaks for itself.
Taoist Guangcheng understood this clearly, so he didn't mind investing in Taoist fruits and considering Jiang Li's pie.
And Jiang Li...
'Could he really have misunderstood?'
With his keenness, he can still detect the subtle deviations. Nine times out of ten, the meaning understood by Taoist Guangcheng is inconsistent with the idea expressed by himself.
However, the results are consistent.
‘Forget it, that’s it.’ Jiang Li thought about it and decided not to say anything.
Anyway, the goal has been achieved, so it’s best not to cause unnecessary problems.
Moreover, Jiang Li never thought of going back on his word. If he said he would give it to the Imperial Master, he would give it to him.
"Since the Taoist Master has agreed, I will swear an oath with my senior sister and let heaven witness the oath." Jiang Li said immediately.
"Yes," Taoist Guangcheng waved his hand, "but regarding the content of the oath, Pindao has a suggestion. If you and others are unable to obtain the position of emperor master for Pindao in the end, then fellow Taoists must take on the responsibility of protecting my Yuxu Temple and protect my temple.
Taoist inheritance."
Good guy, this is because you are interested in yourself.
Jiang Li can now be truly sure that Taoist Guangcheng has definitely misunderstood. Moreover, he has also identified Jiang Li, or Jiang Li's potential. Even if he cannot become the emperor's master, he still has to earn Jiang Li to be the protector.
.
In this way, the rumor of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun's external biography is eliminated.
Judging from the results, Jiang Li has to be related to Yuxu Temple in the end, and it really doesn't count as the leakage of Dao Fruit.
However, Jiang Li was determined to obtain the Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun Daoguo, and the request did not exceed his bottom line at all. Hearing this, he didn't say much and directly agreed.
He and Gongsun Qingyue made an oath by pointing to the sky, using the sky as a witness, and made an oath. As the invisible eyes fell from the sky, both parties could sense the establishment of a certain oath.
"good."
Taoist Guangcheng laughed, showing a sense of closeness and a cheerful look.
He stood up from the green lotus, cast a golden light, and carried the two of them away through the air.
······
······
Although Taoist Guangcheng's sword has near-light speed, he himself cannot reach this speed.
The reason why the sword is so fast and near light is because Taoist Guangcheng's swords have been refined into reality and are themselves a kind of light, so they can reach such extreme speed. However, his physical body cannot turn into light, so naturally it is impossible to be as fast as the sword.
pole.
Golden light broke through the sky, and it took a lot of time to rush all the way from West Kunxu to Yuxu Temple. By the time we arrived at Yuxu Peak in East Kunxu, it was almost dusk.
At this time, night is approaching, and Kunxu Mountain is three-thirds colder than during the day, with streaks of cold wind biting the bones.
However, the climate near Yuxu Temple is completely contrary to the season, fixed in spring.
This palace located on a peak occupies a very large area, with palaces and buildings arranged in rows and rows, showing the solemnity and atmosphere of Xuanmen resort. It is surrounded by lush vegetation and feels like spring all year round. The vibrant scene is completely opposite to the ice and snow outside.
, but it is not abrupt, but has a natural fit.
Before the golden light fell on the palace, Taoist Guangcheng waved his hand gently, and the vermilion door slowly opened. The low sound alerted the two dozing Taoist boys behind the door.
"ah!"
One of the Taoist boys was awakened and saw Taoist Guangcheng entering at a glance. He rushed over and gave the other Taoist boy a hand. They both saluted and said, "See the temple master."
"Bai He, Ling Yu, are you forced to stand again?"
When Taoist Guangcheng saw these two boys, he sighed and said, "You can even doze off even if you stand for a long time. I don't know who you two learned this from. Junior Brother Shenhou, who is obviously the laziest, is out all the year round and can't do any harm at all."
It’s up to you.”
The two Taoist boys are both around thirteen or fourteen years old. They have a lot of spiritual energy in their brows, and they obviously have some cultivation. They are not very young, which is quite rare at this age.
Hearing the sigh of Taoist Guangcheng, the two Taoist boys were not alarmed. They just smiled. One of them even had the heart to quibble, saying: "Master, we are not dozing off, at least I am not. I am closing my eyes."
Adjust your breath and do your exercises while standing."
"Wipe the saliva from your mouth, I may still believe your nonsense." Taoist Guangcheng said angrily.
"Master, please don't deceive me. I don't have a mouth..."
This boy was quite smart, and his expression did not change after hearing the words. He did not wipe his mouth, but said with a smile. Halfway through the words, he noticed something was wrong at the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and found that there was really something wrong.
"I can't even explain what I'm talking about. I believe it wasn't Junior Brother Shenhou who taught you bad things. I was punished by copying the "Huangting Sutra" a hundred times. Also, where is Junior Brother Shenhou now?"
Taoist Guangcheng punished him and asked at the same time.
"Uncle Master Shen is in the alchemy room, looking after uncle Yin." The Taoist boy replied with a sad face.
"Um."
Taoist Guangcheng nodded slightly and took Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue into the view. However, he did not go to the Alchemy Cauldron Room that he asked about. Instead, he led the two of them through the pavilions and halls, going further and further away.
There were no other people along the way, and it seemed quite deserted. Moreover, the arrangement of the surrounding buildings gradually changed. At the beginning, it was still row upon row and well-proportioned, but later it gradually became disordered. Sometimes there were pavilions, sometimes palaces, and all kinds of buildings were mixed together, which was weird and abnormal.
Seeing this, Gongsun Qingyue lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the wordless heavenly book in his hand. Sure enough, he discovered the invisible energy veins and noticed the changes in the surrounding formation.
There are hidden formations in this Yuxu Temple. The pavilions, pavilions, palaces and halls are all part of the formation. If you don't pay attention, you may be trapped in it and find it difficult to get out.
As Taoist Guangcheng led the way, the more the three of them walked, the more frequently the surrounding formations changed, so much so that Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue unconsciously focused their attention to avoid danger.
However, this situation did not last long. As Taoist Guangcheng suddenly took three steps forward, the scenery in front of him changed. Two closed doors suddenly appeared in front, while bronze pillars were arranged on the left and right, and flowers, plants and trees could be seen behind.
There are shadows of distant pavilions.
They were walking on the road a moment ago, but at this moment they had arrived at the gate of a palace.
'A formation for space shifting and transformation?'
Jiang Li felt something in his heart and felt a sense of urgency.
He was already aware of what was in the hall in front of him.
If I guess correctly...
"Buzz——"
The heavy door opened slowly with a heavy sound, and a vast aura with strong inspiration leaked out from the door.
What appeared in front of their eyes was a vast space with a jade-like color. Both the floor and the surrounding walls seemed to be made of sapphire, crystal clear. The hall was so high that it didn't reach the top, and all they could see was like water.
The brilliance leaked from above, illuminating one exquisite statue after another.
There are male and female statues, old and young, and even animals, all dressed up in different ways.
Some are dressed as Taoists, holding whisks and long swords on their backs.
There are also some who are dressed in razor-sharp uniforms, with the bravery and coldness of veterans on the battlefield.
There are also statues of beasts, with dragon beards, spiritual beasts that look like dragons and tigers, but only have one leg; weird beasts with the characteristics of four beasts...
The statues of gods are lined up from the entrance of the palace to the end, and the fairy light can be seen blooming. More than ten statues of gods that are much taller than the rest stand majestically.
"This is the place where my Yuxu Temple houses the Taoist Fruit."
Taoist Guangcheng brought Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue inside and walked forward. "The Taoist fruits from the third to the fifth grade are all here. If the Guanzhong disciples become immortals, their Taoist fruits will also be sent back here."
Some of the statues of gods have their form but no spirit. Obviously, they do not contain the Tao and Fruit.
And what contains the Tao Fruit is the flow of Qi, manifesting a vague and non-existent Qi, which hides mysteries and evil intentions. If you don't approach it with the correct method, there will most likely be an extremely violent disaster.
Fight back.
The three of them walked all the way to the statue at the end. Jiang Li raised his eyes and saw thirteen statues standing there. Eight of them were filled with aura, sometimes evolving into strange phenomena.
'The Dao Fruit of the Twelve Golden Immortals... I don't know if they are all of the third grade. If they are all of the third grade, it would be too scary.'
However, there are thirteen statues of gods in the place of these twelve golden immortals...
Jiang Li glanced over, and finally his eyes fell on the statue of an old man.
'Isn't it Huanglong Zhenren?'
He originally thought that among the thirteen statues, there was the real Huanglong who was tragically removed from the list, but now it seems that it doesn't look like it.
This statue of the god has a white beard and a white robe. He holds his hands in front of his hands and holds a simple wooden whip. This whip has twenty-one sections, each section has four talismans, for a total of 84 talismans.
, waves of aura wrapped around the wooden whip, revealing an invisible majestic pressure and magnificent aura.
Jiang Li's eyes were attracted to the wooden whip almost instantly, and a term automatically popped into his mind.
——The magic whip.
"This is the Taoist fruit of Jiang Ziya, the master of hundreds of schools, who became the god on behalf of heaven. It is also the beginning of the relationship between this concept and the Jiang family."
Taoist Guangcheng also noticed where Jiang Li was looking and said, "As for the Taoist fruit of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun... Junior Brother Guangyuan."
Following the call of Taoist Guangcheng, a statue on the left glowed with dazzling light, and its majestic aura actually suppressed all the statues except the Twelve Golden Immortals and Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Li looked back and saw an image of a Taoist who looked like Taoism but not Taoism, and seemed like vulgarity but not vulgarity.
Wearing a cloud-fan crown on his head, water-weather clothes, a silk ribbon around his waist, and hemp shoes on his feet, he appears misty and out of the dust. There are vertical lines between his eyebrows, which are hidden like vertical eyes, and the bright light flashes, showing the appearance of observing the ten directions;
The two-edged sword possesses the fierceness of a general and the courage on the battlefield.
This is the goal of Jiang Li's trip - Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun Yang Jian.
When his eyes met the statue, the aura on the statue was aroused, and a message spontaneously emerged in his mind.
