When they arrived at Lihuo City, there was a strict inspection at the city gate. When they saw Li Qinglin leading his team back, the city guards all knelt down and saluted, and everyone looked extremely serious.
Lihuo City, which should have been bustling and bustling, was now extremely solemn, with white flags everywhere and troops checking passers-by. Pedestrians passed by in a hurry and did not dare to speak loudly.
The death of a country's crown prince is a serious political incident, enough to make the entire capital tremble.
Qin Yi suddenly felt that it was a good thing that Li Qinglin was not in Beijing when the incident occurred, and the princess could testify that they had no room for remote control in the ravine. Otherwise, he would be the first suspect at this time, and it was naturally not a problem at the moment.
No one is so arrogant. While plotting to assassinate his brother, he actually ran into the mountains for several days without even intervening. If the plot failed, he wouldn't even clean up the aftermath and cover up clues? No one wants to die like this.
Not to mention that Li Qinglin is such a meticulous person. Therefore, Li Qinglin has no suspicion at this moment, and it is natural for him to become the prince.
The first thing the Li brothers and sisters did when they entered the city was not to accommodate Qin Yi, but to go straight to the palace. Li Qinglin just gave Qin Yi a card and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Qin, my brother and sister must enter the palace immediately.
There is no way to delay. Brother Qin comes to my house with my badge and will be treated as a distinguished guest. Brother Yu, I am negligent, please forgive me."
Qin Yi was very considerate. He took the badge and said with a smile, "That's right. You can go and do your own business."
Seeing the Li brothers and sisters walking towards the palace with solemn expressions, Qin Yi sighed and went shopping while holding his waist tag.
Although he understands their situation at the moment, Qin Yi doesn't want to come to the door with his waist card like this. It feels very awkward. It would be better to wait for Li Qinglin to return home before approaching him. Now it is better to stroll around, not only to appreciate the scenery of the capital, but also to stop by.
Take a look at what the Imperial Master’s view of immortality is like.
The Changsheng Temple is easy to find. If you ask any passerby, you will see him pointing the way with awe and longing. In fact, the Changsheng Temple is not far from the palace. It is at the intersection where Qin Yi and the Li brothers and sisters separate. To the left is
From the palace, to the right is the Taoist temple. Looking up, you can see the high platform on top of the Taoist temple, filled with smoke.
That is the Dengxian Platform, which was originally built on a higher hill. The platform has nine floors and is the tallest building away from the Fire City.
It is taller than the palace building.
What surprised Qin Yi was that the national master had a very good reputation among the people.
"Master, that is a true immortal. Last month, my wife was possessed by an evil spirit, and she was cured by a pair of talisman water from Changsheng Guan..."
"The divination of Changsheng Guan is the most accurate. That time I was going out to do business and went for divination. The Taoist priest of Changsheng Guan asked me to go back in three days. What do you think? On the third day, my wife turned over the candlestick and almost lost the water.
Well, I put it out immediately at home. If this is not a living god, who is?"
"It is said that the barbarians from the Western Wilderness invaded last month. The national master cast a spell on the stage and made them vomit and have diarrhea for several days. General Xie won the battle."
Qin Yi shook his head and walked slowly. Forget about everything else, even the credit for fighting the enemy country was deducted from this kind of thing. The military would only be so angry if it didn't make them angry. It's no wonder that Li Qinglin, who coordinated the deployment of troops, said to the national division
Extremely disgusted.
Standing in front of the Temple of Immortality, Qin Yi looked up. There were ninety-nine stone steps in front of the temple. There were crowds of people on the stone steps, kowtowing devoutly. The solemn atmosphere in the city caused by the death of the prince seemed completely absent from this place.
Influence.
The soldiers and horses patrolling the city under martial law will not come here. Occasionally, if a team passes by, they will salute reverently and leave.
"In this country, we don't care about the people or the ghosts and gods anymore." Qin Yi whispered: "I understand more and more why Li Qinglin wants to deal with the national master."
Liusu said: "Immortality is real. Li Qinglin is limited by his knowledge and is biased."
Qin Yi said "hmm". If according to his inherent view of Chinese history, the imperial master is undoubtedly a liar, and Li Qinglin's actions are undoubtedly loyal; but in this world, because there is really a way to live forever, then it changes
It has become an opposition of positions, not simply a distinction between right and wrong. Of course, for Qin Yi, whether in terms of his own inherent view of history or personal likes and dislikes, his position naturally aligns with that of Li Qinglin.
Just as he was about to climb the steps to take a look at the main hall, Qin Yi suddenly slowed down before walking a few floors.
A Taoist nun slowly walked out of the Taoist temple and walked in the direction of Qin Yi.
Qin Yi could swear that he had never seen such a beautiful Taoist nun, not even in anime or CG games!
She stood quietly in the middle of the stone steps, her delicate face was incomparably beautiful, her expression was calm and quiet, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as water. She was clearly standing in a place where people were coming and going, but Qin Yi felt in a daze that everything around him had become distant.
She is alone and independent.
In fact, except for Qin Yi, almost everyone was not looking at her, as if she was not even there.
What she was wearing was not the pure blue robe worn by ordinary disciples as seen on TV, but Bagua weaving and embroidery. The plain robe base material alternated with the sky blue Yao Gua texture. The breeze blew up the hem of her robe, and the plain robe underneath was
White lined trousers and Taoist boots. This outfit should belong to a middle-to-high-level Taoist priest. But paired with her flawless body and temperament, it suddenly seemed like a fashion show. Her hair was neatly pulled up.
The Taoist nun's bun has the Taoist scarf draped loosely and the sleeves are like flowing clouds, which adds a bit of a sense of being out of the world.
She held a long sword upside down in her hand, not a fly whisk. This holy and pure temperament showed a bit of heroism.
Qin Yi suddenly felt that words like "fairy aunt" should be used to describe this kind of person.
Liusu's cold voice penetrated into the soul: "What? Seeing the beauty of the city, forget about the corpse insects."
Qin Yi's heart trembled, he stopped staring at them and quickened his pace.
But the Taoist nun stood directly in front of him, as if she had something to say to him.
Qin Yi looked around and then looked directly at the Taoist nun looking directly at him to confirm that she was really looking for him.
Why is this Taoist girl suddenly looking for me when she looks so refined and is a stranger to me? Qin Yi's heart was alarmed, and the sight of the corpse insect demon bursting out of its skin repeatedly stirred in his heart, so he simply took another step away.
, I want to pass by directly.
The Taoist nun raised her hand to stop him gently: "Sir, please stay."
Are you really relying on this? No one will believe you if you say you are innocent! Qin Yi's hair was horrified, and he subconsciously took half a step back. He stretched out his palm to push her hand in front of him, and said solemnly: "Fairy, please respect yourself."
Liusu sighed leisurely, counting silently in his heart: once.
The Taoist nun frowned, maybe she never thought that she would be said such a thing in her life. But she frowned and went straight to the point: "The iron handle exposed on the young master's backpack is the young master's weapon?"
Qin Yi's words, which were already humiliating to others, seemed to be like the wind blowing in her face. She had no feeling at all. She still said what she should say, and she seemed to have a very high level of self-cultivation.
But what she said made Qin Yi's heart tighten even more, and his vigilance increased tenfold.
If you want to trick me, forget it. You actually ask Bangbang if he feels that there is a spirit in the mace, right? No matter how bad Tassel is, he will never let anyone use it to slay demons.
Find a way to fool it...
The Taoist nun really didn't understand what was going on with Qin Yi's weird sense of vigilance, so she had no choice but to continue: "I can see that there is a faint trace of monster blood on this thing. It can be seen that the young master used this thing to get rid of monsters not long ago. It seems to be... a spider?"
Qin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
It’s not just a matter of noticing the tassels.
But this Taoist girl really has a lot of skills, and even the spider demon she knocked to death two days ago can be seen. Unlike Liusu, the fast-talking guy, the corpse insect demon can't feel the demonic aura standing in front of her.
Qin Yi relaxed and finally answered: "I did see a spider monster eating people. Let's get rid of it with my friends."
The Taoist nun nodded, her voice still cold: "Since the young master has eliminated demons, why are you hanging out with Prince Qinglin?"
"Huh?" Qin Yi frowned, "What does this mean? This spider demon is to be eliminated together with brother and sister Li Qinglin, okay?"
The Taoist nun looked at Qin Yi's eyes seriously, as if to see whether he was genuine or not.
Qin Yi suddenly felt uncomfortable with this look.
I don’t know how to describe this kind of look, and this kind of tone that is obviously a good question but makes people feel like he is questioning...
It’s not right to say it’s indifference or cold arrogance. It’s either cold or calm. But this kind of calmness is not as comfortable as a clear spring, but like the Milky Way in the night sky. Although it is beautiful, it is very high and far away. You can only
Look up.
It's probably similar to when I see ants. I see it when I see it, and I don't have any thoughts about the ant. At most, I just see a certain ant carrying something, say "Wow, it's very hardworking," and then pass by.
Maybe he had some bad intentions and even trampled him to death.
That’s about it. By the way, this feeling is actually a bit familiar, very similar to someone...
tassel?
Most of Tassel's evil nature also stems from this remoteness. It said that there is nothing to be true about the rules and regulations in the world. It is not the evil nature, but the feeling of looking down on all living beings from different dimensions.
The so-called cultivation is nothing but distance.
Qin Yi simply asked: "Is the fairy a disciple of the national master?"
If Xindao is from the National Preceptor, it is normal for him to be biased against Li Qinglin. In the eyes of the entire Changsheng Gatekeeper, Li Qinglin is unlikely to be a good person.
The Taoist nun shook her head: "I am a poor Dao Minghe, but I am just a wandering Taoist who lives here. He is not a member of the Donghua sect. Don't call me a fairy anymore, just call me Taoist priest."
Minghe is so unapproachable that Qin Yi immediately thought of such a poem.
