Chen Jinchan has been watching He Xiangu. During Lu Shouyi's fifty years of cultivation, his spirit has already reached the sacred level of immortals and Buddhas. If he practices Qi seriously, it may not be long before the Taoist Fruit of Immortality is at his fingertips.
Therefore, his keen spiritual sense told him that the beautiful Taoist nun opposite was not telling any lies.
But his previous judgment should be correct. Chen Jinchan said: "Xiangu has not told me yet whether this heavenly book comes from Xuannv Palace."
Seeing Chen Jinchan's sincere eyes, He Xiangu knew that it would be difficult to prevaricate. Fortunately, she did not have to hide the truth. She smiled and said: "The emperor's eldest grandson can call me by my name He Xiang. As for the Book of Heaven, it does come from Xuannv Palace. I also To tell you the truth, Empress Xuannv personally asked me to give it to you."
Chen Jinchan pondered: "Why did Empress Xuannv suddenly show her favor to me?"
Jiutian Xuannv is also an ancient immortal family. Even if she has not reached Daluo, she is still a top figure in the immortal family, far more than the average Taiyi True Immortal. How can she show favor to his not-so-powerful emperor's eldest grandson. Even if he has a bright future and becomes a figure like Xuannv, there is no need to offend His Majesty at the height of his power now.
After all, His Majesty is now obedient to his words and can be said to be the most powerful human emperor in history. Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have a tendency to be compared to him.
He Xiang suddenly approached and whispered: "His Highness's status is unusual. We all wish His Highness well, so please don't have any doubts."
Chen Jinchan has always been suspicious of his identity, because although His Majesty hates him, he seems to be afraid of him, and the teacher is vaguely respectful to him. That is not because of his identity as the emperor's eldest grandson. Now this A mysterious Taoist nun also had a vaguely similar attitude, and Xuannv's overtures made him even more suspicious.
He knew that his teacher Lu Shouyi might know the answer, but since the teacher didn't tell him, it was not yet time to know the answer, so Chen Jinchan stopped worrying about the question, accepted the book calmly, and said to He Xiang, "Thank you very much."
He Xiang didn't chat with Chen Jinchan for long, and they parted ways after a while.
After that, He Xiang went to a painting boat on the canal outside the city, with carved railings and jade pillars, and the fragrance overflowed. The Yingying and Yanyan inside were all women. Under the guidance of one person, they went up to the top of the painting boat. What caught He Xiang's eyes was the back of a woman.
She was wearing a light purple dress and turned around slowly, allowing He Xiang to clearly see her features.
Even though it was the first time for He Xiangfei to see her, his heart felt ups and downs every time.
Because the woman's features do have a certain resemblance to her mentor Shen Lian.
And she is Xuannv Empress, a female cultivator in the world who can be ranked in the top ten, or even the top five.
Compared to her, her meager behavior was like the flame of a firefly, while the other party was just like the brilliance of the bright moon.
Not only does this empress have a cold face, but she also behaves vigorously. In the past twenty years, the appearance of Xuannv Palace has changed drastically. Incompetent disciples such as He Shuying who existed in the past are no longer visible in Xuannv Palace.
If Shen Lian were here, he would naturally recognize Xuannv as Ruoxi.
It's a pity that He Xiang doesn't know the relationship between his master Shen Lian and Xuannv, otherwise the anxiety in his heart should be eliminated a lot.
Xuannv's delicate and pretty face had a hint of coldness. She looked at He Xiang and said, "After Chen Jinchan left Shendu, you followed him secretly. If you really encountered a danger that he couldn't handle, you would Help secretly.”
He Xiang's awe of Xuannv was not only due to the similarities between her and Shen Lian's facial expressions, but also because of her true cultivation. In fact, apart from her slightly cold personality, Xuannv helped her a lot. At least when He Xiang asked Xuannv for advice on practice, the other party often hit the mark and didn't hide anything.
At the same time, He Xiang was also surprised. That was that her path of cultivation essentially started from Shen Lian’s teachings. It was quite different from other practitioners she had met so far. However, Xuannv seemed to know her path of cultivation. Very detailed. She vaguely felt that this was not a coincidence, and the Qi hidden in the body of the emperor's eldest grandson also coincided with the origin of the magic power she practiced, and seemed to come from the same source.
From this connection, she really wanted to ask whether Xuan Nu was related to her mentor Shen Lian.
After hearing Xuannv's instructions, He Xiang temporarily suppressed the questions in her heart and replied: "I will definitely do this well."
Xuannv said again: "Taoism seeks longevity and freedom, while demonism cultivates self-will. Looking at the bottom of it, they are actually similar. This process of eliminating demons will also be of great help to your practice, but there is one thing you must pay attention to. , that is, if you encounter the Demon Emperor’s abandonment, run away quickly.”
This was by no means the first time He Xiang heard the name "Qi", but from Xuan Nu's tone, it seemed that the Demon Emperor was really extremely terrifying, and even she was afraid of it.
She asked curiously: "The Demon Realm was only born fifty years ago. It is said that Qi was born with the Demon Realm. In such a short time, can she really be more powerful than many senior immortals and Buddhas?"
Xuannv said: "The devil exists because it rebels against the way of heaven. Xi is the devil emperor who was born in response to the fate of the devil. If we want to find a comparison, then her roots should be the same as those of the gods and demons born in the creation of the universe like the Blood River Taoist. Five Ten years are enough for her to achieve something similar to Da Luo. In the process of adapting to the declining destiny of the universe, her Holy Demon Yuan Gong will become more and more incredible, and it will not be unusual for her to even destroy the entire world one day. Even if you have practiced hard for a thousand years, it may not be possible. That’s what someone can achieve in one day.”
He Xiang was shocked and a little unconvinced when he heard Xuan Nu praise Demon Emperor Qi so highly. Because she was born with Taoism, the speed at which she entered the level of immortals and Buddhas was astonishingly fast, and her understanding was extremely advanced. She can be convinced if she is not as good as the Demon Emperor, but if Qian Niu can't compete with his enemy for a day, she will be dissatisfied.
Xuannv seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly: "The speed of practice does not mean anything. The heaven and the earth are all working together, and a mortal who has good luck can turn into a real dragon in a short time, turning rain and clouds. The results of practice , is often more important than how long it takes you to reach a certain state.”
After hearing this, He Xiang thought carefully and was finally touched.
She bowed deeply to Xuannv, which was sincere.
Xuan Nu raised her lips slightly and said: "If you are still unhappy, I won't have to tell you this truth in the future, and it will make me even more disappointed."
He Xiang's heart moved when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, you seem to have a different kind of care for me. I don't know why."
Xuannv said calmly: "You have wanted to ask for a long time, so I will answer you, but because you and I have a connection. You have been walking in the world for many years, but have you ever heard of the word Qingxuan?"
He Xiang was a kind-hearted person and had indeed interacted with many immortals, Buddhas and gods, and knew some secrets. However, she had only heard the word "Qingxuan" once, and that was when she learned it from Master Xunyou of Changsheng Temple.
