In the somewhat too simple courtyard, Mao Aowu stood upright at the gate. For a moment, he didn't know whether to move forward or back, whether to kneel down or clasp his fists.
This, is this true?
Could it be some kind of fantasy?
Mao Aowu looked at the old man in the courtyard, then turned to look at the master of the Renhuang Pavilion who was playing chess under a tree not far away - the most powerful man he had ever been lucky enough to come into contact with before.
Your Majesty, the Human Emperor, invite him to a simple meal... This is just like a dream!
"What are you doing standing still?"
The amiable, kind and friendly His Majesty the Emperor, who combined the dignity of an emperor, the temperament of a top expert, and the image of a gentle old man next door, was greeting me with a smile to come over and take a seat.
Mao Aowu nodded sharply, cheering up, breathing a little heavily, and his demon heart was quite unstable.
In a state of dizziness, he no longer knew how to walk, so he sat down on the small bench opposite His Majesty the Emperor in a daze, still in an extremely upright posture, his body was like a stone sculpture.
There were several side dishes on the table, which were surprisingly ordinary.
His Majesty the Human Emperor picked up a glass of wine, sipped it slightly, let out a few comfortable sighs, and said with a smile: "What are you doing standing still? You can move the chopsticks and hold the wine glass by yourself. Do you want me to respect you?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare! How can you respect me? I can do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want."
Mao Aowu quickly picked up the wine cup in front of him, raised his head and drank it all, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
His Majesty the Human Emperor has no airs, he has heard the Pavilion Master say this before.
But when I actually faced His Majesty the Human Emperor, I felt that his cultivation state was like the vast ocean and the endless starry sky, and I really couldn't let myself relax.
"Your Majesty, I am a little too excited!"
"It's understandable," Shen Nong smiled warmly, "This time the war between immortals and demons was quickly settled, and you took great credit for it. The reason why I asked you to come here is because I wanted to see you.
These three strategies for Dinghai don't seem complicated and are quite simple to implement. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the principles and wisdom hidden in them are extraordinary.
Can you tell me how you came up with these three strategies?"
When Mao Aowu heard this, his heart suddenly thumped a few times and he didn't know how to answer.
The silver-haired fairy's face gradually turned pale, he hesitated and trembled, his eyes were filled with surprise and hesitation, and finally he simply stood up and knelt down with a thud.
"Eh?" Shennong was puzzled, "Why are you kneeling down?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me! These three strategies are not what I thought!"
Mao Aowu said firmly: "But I cannot tell the person behind the scenes! I am willing to bear the responsibility of deceiving His Majesty!"
Shennong frowned slightly and looked up outside the courtyard.
The two old men in rich clothes also stood up. One of them frowned and looked at Mao Aowu, and said in a deep voice: "Aowu, these three strategies were not made by you? Where did they come from?"
Mao Aowu frowned and sighed: "I didn't know that this matter would come before His Majesty. If I concealed something from His Majesty, it would be disloyal.
However, it would be disloyal and even more unjust for a subordinate to reveal the reason for this matter.
This subordinate is in a dilemma and is willing to die!"
"Hey," Shen Nong already understood something and said to the two people outside, "Play your chess, don't scare this kid. Ao Wu just get up."
The two old men outside bowed their heads and accepted the order, continuing to play chess and chatting.
When Shen Nong saw Mao Aowu's troubled face, he gently enlightened:
"You are too nervous, and you treat me as a ferocious beast. Is this a man-eating beast? Look, I have lost a few of my teeth.
What's the problem if it's not your idea? This is discussing merit, not punishment.
If you tell the truth and don't take the credit, why does it involve disloyalty and unrighteousness?
You are the hero, if any of them wants to make things difficult for you, I will withdraw them immediately!"
At this moment, in Mao Aowu's eyes, the old man actually... glowed.
His Majesty the Human Emperor is so kind.
Mao Aowu came back to his senses, felt a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My subordinate was excited for a while and made you laugh."
"Just sit down and eat," Shennong said with a smile, "Who came up with this plan?"
Mao Aowu hesitated again and again, but finally said: "I have nothing to hide from you. This strategy was given to me by my sect master. Because I serve as the patrolling envoy, I was asked to do my best to submit it to the pavilion master as soon as possible."
Shennong nodded slowly and said with a smile: "It's really rare for your sect leader to be so indifferent to fame and wealth and think about the overall situation... Which sect are you from?"
"The great demon sect that destroys the sky and the darkness is about to come to the wind!"
Shen Nong blinked, then Fu Xu chuckled, and the grains of rice fell on his beard.
"I'm not laughing at your sect name, but it's really too long and the meaning is a bit unclear."
Mao Aowu hurriedly said: "It's the chief, it's the chief. We were merged from three sects a long time ago. In order to respect the original three sects, we merged our names directly."
"Put down your chopsticks, don't just say it, try the spiritual fish I caught with my own hands."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
After shivering and eating a piece of fish, Mao Aowu gradually relaxed, his speech became much smoother, and his mind began to work again.
Why should I conceal this matter in front of His Majesty the Human Emperor?
Isn't this a good opportunity for the sect leader to become famous and be appreciated and trained by His Majesty the Emperor?
Therefore, when His Majesty the Human Emperor asked: "What is the cultivation level of your sect leader this year?"
Mao Aowu did not hesitate, struck decisively, and immediately said:
"Coal Condensation Realm!"
——He has been busy in the Renhuang Pavilion, and after Wu Wang's breakthrough, the Mie Zong has been busy telling the internal people to keep it secret, without notifying Mao Aowu.
"Oh?" Shen Nong frowned, "Yes, the Dan Condensation Realm in the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," Mao Aowu deliberately let it slip and said with a smile, "Although my sect leader's cultivation level is not high, that is because he has only been cultivating for a short period of time, he is just over 20 years old.
But Your Majesty, my sect leader is truly one of the top three smartest people I have ever seen.
When the Immortal Sect was robbed before, my sect leader used limited clues and deduced where the murderer might be hiding in a very short period of time, so that he could be caught in one fell swoop.
As soon as the matter was settled and Renhuang Pavilion had not officially intervened, my sect leader said that this matter could easily cause a big mess and told me to act in my capacity as Renhuang Pavilion to avoid causing disputes between immortals and demons.
Things really got serious later, and the sect master probably wanted to see how Renhuang Pavilion would respond, so he waited for a while before calling me back and giving me these three measures to Dinghai."
Mao Aowu paused and said with a smile: "Besides, my sect master is particularly... Your Majesty, what's wrong with you when it comes to developing the sect's industry?"
At this moment, the silver-haired immortal discovered that His Majesty the Human Emperor was holding his forehead with one hand and his expression was very complicated.
Shennong raised his hand to draw a circle, and wisps of obscure Taoist rhyme enveloped the two of them, making their conversation disappear here.
This human emperor's expression was very similar to "Thousands of kilograms of filth fell from behind, the door was tight, and he sighed about the hardships." He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice:
"His name is Wuwang? Or Wuwangzi?"
Mao Aowu was surprised and said: "Your Majesty is so clever and has so many magical powers! You can calculate all these things instantly! That's right, that's the name of my sect master."
Shen Nong casually lit up a little spiritual light, and the spiritual light dimmed, revealing Wu Wan's figure and face.
"Looks like this?"
"Yep!"
Mao Aowu said excitedly: "Your Majesty can even count this..."
He paused for a moment, with a slightly strange expression on his face. He looked at Shennong and then at the aura, and suddenly realized a small problem.
"Have you met my sect leader?"
Shen Nong lost his spiritual light, picked up the chopsticks, and said calmly: "I'm not familiar with it. It's just average."
Mao Aowu couldn't help but be startled, why did this tone sound so awkward...
Resentment.
"Tell me," Shen Nong frowned, "How did this guy become the leader of your sect with his cultivation in the Dan Condensing Realm? Is he really that good at deceiving you? Please be more detailed about the process and tell me everything you know.
"
"Yes," Mao Aowu agreed, but couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, your relationship with our sect master is..."
"You must keep this matter secret, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble for him and the human realm."
Shennong smiled calmly, Fusu hummed, and said with a smile:
"I look at him as my own grandson."
Mao Aowu was so shaken that he no longer had any doubts and began to describe in detail everything that happened before and after his encounter with Wu Wan.
From the perspective of the two old men outside, the silver-haired immortal in the small courtyard was having a very happy conversation with His Majesty the Human Emperor.
The thin old man who was the new head of the Sihai Pavilion smiled and said: "Your Majesty rarely values a young man so much. The Renhuang Pavilion should pay more attention to this person later."
"It's natural," Fu Xu, the slightly wealthy master of Renhuang Pavilion, chuckled, "I'll promote him to a chief inspector when he gets back, but how far he can go in the future depends on his own efforts."
"That's right. We can't say that His Majesty will reuse whomever he likes. It still depends on whether he has such talent."
The master of the Sihai Pavilion pondered for a few times, changed the topic, and said: "Previously, Pindao received news that the young master of the Beiye Xiongbao Clan has arrived in the human domain. I don't know where the young master is."
"What? Why do you care about this?"
The master of Renhuang Pavilion was a little puzzled.
"Looking to him to buy minerals," the Sihaige Pavilion Master sighed, "Beiye has recently established a treasure ore alliance. The seven major clans directly control the outflow of minerals and unify the selling price to the outside world, saying that they want to be prosperous together.
The price they gave us was quite reasonable, but the quantity supplied to us was 20% less than before.
The magic weapons on the border are too worn out, and the war is approaching, so we must increase our reserves..."
The master of Renhuang Pavilion wondered: "What does that have to do with the young master of the Bear Hug Clan?"
"Pindao has sent people to find out secretly," the master of Sihai Pavilion whispered, "the sacrificial force that secretly controls Beiye has now been replaced by the Star God Sect.
The divine messenger of the Star God Cult is equivalent to the only messenger chosen by the Star God, who is the mother of the young master of the Bear Hug Clan.
Most of the seven major clans owe huge debts to the Bear Embrace Clan. They have jointly agreed not to expand externally, and they have followed the Bear Embrace Clan's lead in dealing with foreign affairs.
The Beiye Mining Alliance is presided over by the chief priests of each family, and the person who established this mining alliance is the Young Master Xiong who sneaked into our human domain to travel around."
The master of Renhuang Pavilion pondered for a few times and then said with a smile: "Beiye actually understood the game?"
"This young master has figured it out," Fu Xu, the master of the Sihai Pavilion, said softly, "According to the reports from our informants in Beiye, the seventh Star God envoy of the Star God Sect may be this young master of the Bear Embrace Clan.
Alas, Beiye is considered to be the top region in terms of strength among the Nine Wildernesses, but the situation of the Star God is a bit confusing.
If the Star God collapses, Kitano will probably have to rearrange its layout, and there will definitely be a bloody storm."
The master of the Renhuang Pavilion wondered: "Could it be that this Young Master Xiong came to the Human Realm for this reason? He wants to bring the human cultivation method to Beiye?"
"Eh? My Taoist friend gave me some advice, and I figured it out a bit."
The eyes of the master of Sihai Pavilion lit up, and the old man smiled and said: "What this Young Master Xiong said is that he left Beiye to seek the scripture that can save Beiye from suffering. Could this scripture be the cultivation method in the human realm?"
"If that's the case, are we still afraid that we won't be able to exchange for Beiye's mine?"
"Please also ask Renhuang Pavilion to conduct a secret search and do not make any publicity about this matter."
The master of the Sihai Pavilion said sternly: "If you find this young master, you must treat him with courtesy and don't disturb others, let alone leak the news and let the Ten Fierce Halls and others learn about it.
Pindao has locked dozens of spies in Sihai Pavilion and is secretly clearing them out one by one.
Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid there are a lot of moths in Renhuang Pavilion, so you have to be careful."
"good."
"good."
At this time, a call came from the small courtyard: "What are you two mumbling over there?"
The two powerful pavilion masters immediately stood up and saluted from afar towards the small courtyard.
I heard the emperor say: "The next thing to do is to entertain the leaders of the sect. We will increase the table and ask them to bring a few outstanding disciples over. I will see if there is any talent that can be used."
The two pavilion masters received the order at the same time, and without any delay, they rushed to arrange the arrangements together.
Mao Aowu understood something at this moment. He wished he could move the Dafa, flew directly back to his mountain gate, found the great elder and shouted, "Protect the lord of the clan!"
This may be the grandson of His Majesty the Human Emperor!
Confident face.
Isn't His Majesty the Human Emperor's order just to cover up the uniqueness of his sect master?
How else is this possible?
If we say that the lord of the clan is His Majesty’s lifelong friend? Who can believe it?
Then I heard His Majesty the Human Emperor ask: "Aowu, did you inform the sect before you came here?"
Mao Aowu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am in such a hurry that I will not be able to report it to the sect master in the future."
"The relationship is good. Just don't notify me... Aowu, you will stay here for the next few days. I will give you some advice on how to practice."
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Nong Yan Emperor’s mouth:
"I would like to see what new tricks your sect leader can come up with for me."
"I obey my orders!"
Mao Aowu was a little confused. He always felt that he had inadvertently caused trouble for his sect leader.
But what bad intentions could the great Shennong have?
He was a little confused in his heart.
So, a few days later, during the Emperor's banquet.
…
The Human Emperor added a new order to the banquet, asking each Immortal Sect and Demon Sect to bring along three outstanding disciples in addition to the sect leader and elder.
As soon as this news came out, the entire human world was shocked.
The Human Emperor had not shown his face for more than 800 years before, but recently he had been making frequent moves. He once again promoted the matter of the Little Golden Dragon in the Human Realm, and also invited the Renhuang Pavilion General Pavilion of all sects to a banquet.
As a result, the human domain as a whole became much more stable.
Just before the banquet was about to begin, the notice was temporarily changed and the sect was asked to bring three disciples who had not become immortals.
What is this doing?
It's obvious that they are selecting a rising star from the human race, and maybe they will select the successor to the Human Emperor!
For this reason, the Demon Sect of the Immortal Sect exerted all its strength and immediately brought out its most talented disciples; and many non-sect border generals and aristocratic families from all over the world began to secretly contact various sects.
For those sects ranked one hundred or so away, the seats for ‘disciples attending the banquet’ were secretly priced at sky-high prices.
On a six-story high-rise ship sailing from the air to Renhuang Pavilion, Wu Wan sat on the top floor, watching the singing and dancing in front of him, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
He thought about it for days and nights, but he still couldn't figure out why the old man suddenly changed his order.
Doesn’t this intensify the conflict between immortals and demons?
When disciples from various schools gather together, they naturally have a desire to compete. If they are young and energetic and cannot control their tempers, unpleasant conflicts may easily occur.
And by asking various immortals to bring their disciples here, wouldn’t it give the Ten Fierce Palaces an opportunity to cause trouble?
The old-timer is covering his whereabouts?
Impossible, if he had such good intentions, he must have nodded and agreed to betroth Little Jingwei to him.
Eighty percent of this... no, there must be something wrong!
According to His Majesty the Human Emperor's consistent behavior, there must be a series of big pits waiting for him ahead!
The ship slowed down rapidly.
What Wu Wu saw with his spiritual consciousness was that the clouds above and below the place were full of magic weapons to control the sky. There was also a Immortal Soldier of Renhuang Pavilion in golden armor in the air ahead. They blocked all the cloud roads and verified the identity of each visitor one by one.
Some sects also brought a boatload of people, but there were only five places to enter, and the others could only wait nearby.
On the side, the great elder in black robe stood up and said:
"Sect Master, it's time for us to prepare."
Wu Wan nodded slowly and said calmly: "Bring me my battle clothes."
Two female disciples showed up in style, bringing them black coats and green jade rings. Wu Huan carried the clothes to the screen, opened the barrier, and began to change clothes quickly.
This strange disease caused him to lose so much happiness that even the maids could not get close to him.
When Wu Wang changed his clothes and came out, the four people who had gone to attend the Emperor's Banquet were already waiting.
The ‘Not Extraordinary’ Elder, the Blood-Hand Demon Lord, the eighteenth master of the demonic path, is dressed in black robes, with flowing bloody hair, and carries a somewhat unconcealable ferocious aura.
Elder Miao, who supplements the immortal's combat power in this trip, wears a slim-fitting tube top and a plain white short-sided skirt inside. Outside, he wears serious black clothes. He has light makeup, curved eyebrows, and extremely dignified hair accessories;
But unfortunately, one look from her can make a weak-minded person burn with fire.
In addition, there are two disciples, a boy and a girl, who are the rising stars of the Mie Tian Sect, one male and one female. The male is from the Mie Tian lineage, and the female is the future ‘Hua Dan’ of the Black Desire Sect.
Two witches, one big and one small, appeared together with their charms in full effect. Even without the Charming Skill, many demonic people on and off the building had their breaths burning and they dared not look directly at them.
Of course, the one who shines brightest today is today’s leader of the Mie Sect, Wu Huanzi.
There was nothing special about anything else. Wu Wan dressed up casually and acted normally. There were two big golden characters written on the black coat——
metropolitan.
He showed the fluctuations in the early stages of the Golden Core Realm, and wore six magic weapons that concealed his aura, as if he had just broken through from the Condensing Core Realm.
Then he took out a folding fan and a sachet, with a gentle smile on his lips, his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes shining with a faint light of fire.
The big boat stopped, Wu Wan slapped the folding fan in his hand, took out the invitation, and said:
"Walk."
The five members of the Mie Zong floated on a black cloud and flew towards the palaces hanging on the top of the mountain behind the golden-armored immortal soldiers.
