The two returned to the small table and sat down. Su Emei changed to a batch of cakes, but they only served hot ones. The style was still the same as before, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was still the most.
When Li Ye was talking to Chu Nanhuai, Su Emei never interrupted. After Li Ye sat down this time, Su Emei pushed the pastry plate at his side towards him. She still didn't speak or disturb, and kept her duty quietly, but Qingtan moved her eyes and looked at Li Ye with a very obvious meaning - Li Ye hadn't eaten pastry yet.
Li Ye picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, bit into half, and unexpectedly found that it was very delicious. It is soft but not sticky, with just the right amount of sweetness and a little sourness, which is very suitable for wine.
I don't know if after hearing Chu Nanhuai's words, Li Ye's mood changed, and he felt that the pastry was delicious, so he quickly finished one piece and picked up the second one. Su Emei had already withdrawn her gaze and lowered her head obediently, but she also saw Li Ye's movements, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly.
Chu Nanhuai said while drinking: "Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created man, Taiyi ruled the world, and then the human religion prospered. The Daoist sect controls the monks of heaven and earth, and the Lich clan has retreated for many years, becoming a fringe force, and is also regarded as a mountain by the Daoist sect." Loose cultivators. The descendants of the two races are not allowed to become immortals, no matter what their cultivation level is, they cannot be admitted to the Immortal Court. This has been a practice for thousands of years. Although the Lich and Demon Clans are dissatisfied, they have no capital to bargain with the Immortal Court."
"Times have changed, and the rise of various tribes outside the region. The Huns and Turkic gods have all fought against the Taoist Immortal Court. The biggest setback suffered by the Immortal Court was during the chaos of China. Countless immortals fell in that battle, and the orthodoxy was almost gone."
"Nowadays, there is a resurgence of border troubles in the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao, Tubo, Uighur, and Khitan have grown stronger, and the Western Regions have fallen. Although Hexi was recovered once by Zhang Yichao, it also fell again during the Huangchao Rebellion. The main force and energy of Xianting are all Facing the army of gods from various races. At this time, it is logical for the Yaozu to deal with His Highness. Moreover, if this matter can be used to allow the Yaozu to be under the jurisdiction of the Daomen Immortal Court, this is also a kind of strength for the Daomen Immortal Court. enhance."
Li Ye nodded, the heaven and the earth are one, he can expect these things, but right now he is not most concerned about this: "What are the realms of the monks of the monster clan?"
Chu Nanhuai glanced at Li Ye, and said slowly: "The monster clan is just a small number of people. In terms of cultivation, they are uniquely blessed with many masters. However, all the big monsters in ancient times have fallen, and now the monster clan has the highest and most famous cultivation base. , is the Seventh Sage. Oh, it should be called the Sixth Sage, that monkey is no longer a monster.”
Li Ye nodded. The so-called "Seven Sages" does not mean that they have the cultivation of saints. The heaven and earth sages consisted of six of them, Nuwa and Laojun. The so-called seven sages of the demon clan, when the monkey caused trouble and claimed to be the great sage, the six kings of the demon clan who swore with him also called themselves the great sage.
But that monkey's cultivation is far from comparable to Li Ye's now, if the Six Sages lead the way to make trouble in Pinglu, Li Ye won't be able to play with them at all.
Seeing Li Ye's expression, Chu Nanhuai said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Six Sages will not take action directly. Their cultivation base is too high. Once the world is in chaos, the Immortal Court will not allow it. Besides, they are not all willing to buy it." Heaven's account."
Li Ye heaved a sigh of relief. He is not even an Earth Immortal now. When that monkey made trouble, he was in the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal. Later, it was rumored that he was in the realm of the Quasi-Saint, which is incomparable.
Li Ye suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Have you ever heard of "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing"?"
Chu Nanhuai asked strangely: "What is "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing"?"
Li Ye smiled and didn't explain much.
According to the Taoism of the earth, Lao Tzu rode an ox out of Hangu Pass to the west, went to the place where the barbarians lived, and educated them. Buddhism is also a sect left after the old man educated the barbarians. Therefore, Buddhism is also included in the system of Taoist immortals. Many immortals are both Buddhist and Taoist, and even the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha is a Luya Taoist.
But in this world, the situation is obviously different. Shimen is an external force, just like the gods of Uighur and Tubo, and has nothing to do with Taoism. They went east for one purpose, to fight for the blessed land of Shenzhou.
This point was corroborated by Chu Nanhuai, and Li Ye also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Since there are so many differences between the two worlds, it's no wonder that the monks here don't know the "Purple Qi from the East" this exercise. Perhaps in this world, Lao Tzu did not travel far westward at all.
It's almost sunrise.
Everyone left the small case, came to the edge of the cliff, and watched quietly. For those who practice Taoism, such a scene should not be missed.
The dark eastern sky gradually has a line of dark blue, and the dark blue continues to expand, and then the horizon has a blush, and the morning star gradually dims. The fish-belly white gradually emerges, the scale-like flowing clouds have outlines, and the mountains and rivers have a faint golden yellow. Finally, under the red line, a round of golden red the size of an egg slowly floats up, and the sky gradually unfolds.
The mountains and rivers surrounded by clouds and mist, under the dim light of the morning sun, are hazy and mysterious, with purple air coming from the east.
Li Ye frowned slightly, and the sea of air stirred up waves for no reason, as if under the calm sea, some powerful existence was about to surface.
The suspended pond of green lotus is also like a breeze, swaying slowly, as if responding to the existence in the sea of air. Only the dragon qi was dormant, it had just absorbed the green and white ball left by Yuan Tiangang, and the scales on its already solid body appeared clearly, as if it had reached a threshold of some kind of breakthrough.
However, this change was fleeting, and the sea of qi quickly returned to calm.
Li Ye thought silently: "There is only one line left before I can be promoted to Daoist Yinshen."
Chu Nanhuai asked, "Does Your Highness want to return to Qingzhou?"
Li Ye shook his head, "Qizhou is the most plagued by demons, and it is also the place where the disaster of demons originated. If I expect it to be correct, it should be the headquarters of the demon clan. I will go directly to Qizhou."
After the Huangchao Rebellion, the general situation of the world has become clear, and it is inevitable to enter the chaotic world of feudal lords fighting for hegemony, but there is nothing wrong with Li Ye for the time being. The key competition for winning the Central Plains, the first battle will be between Li Ye, Li Keyong in the north, and Zhu Wen in the Central Plains, but that will not happen in the past two years, so now Li Ye has time to deal with the chaos of the Yaozu .
Chu Nanhuai sighed: "The old Taoist will go back to Dupan Mountain, and Xiaozhuang will go back with me, and Emei will follow His Highness."
Li Ye nodded: "When Nangong Yi returns in the future, I will let Emei return to Quanzhen Temple."
Li Ye went to Qizhou, so naturally he couldn't go alone. Young Master Siming's cultivation base is not enough, and he is currently retreating. Wei Xiaozhuang still had to manage the Quanzhen Temple, and seeing Chu Nanhuai's appearance, Li Ye always felt that the old man was planning something again. Su Emei's cultivation base has reached the realm of real people, and she happens to be walking with Li Ye.
Before leaving, Chu Nanhuai suddenly said: "Your Highness has managed Pinglu in an orderly manner, which has won the praise of the people. They all say that His Highness is a benevolent Lord. But His Highness should also know whether people can be rich and successful in this world. What matters is not character, virtue, or whether to do good or not, or whether to do evil or not, but strength."
Li Ye frowned.
Qizhou, Huabu Zhushan.
In the fourth year of Qianfu, when Li Ye first arrived in Pinglu, he went to Qizhou to Mount Huabuzhu. Since then, Hua Buzhu Mountain Taoist Temple has become the influence of Tsing Yi Yamen. However, at this time, there was neither a swordsman in blue nor a Taoist in the gymnasium.
From halfway up the mountain, the mountain peak was hidden in thick fog, and the bottom was white fog, which was so thick that it could not be seen five paces away. As the altitude rises, the color of the fog continues to deepen, and what surrounds the peak is a wave-like black fog. Ordinary people are here, they must be unable to see their fingers.
However, the black mist is just floating in the air like a cloud belt, but the Taoist temple is completely clear. The hall that was destroyed by Li Ye's punch had already been rebuilt. It's just that now, there are no god statues in the hall, and it is empty without a single thing. Only at the end of the spacious hall, on the nine-step high platform, there is a tiger-skin seat that looks like a mountain king.
A young man in a black robe sat on the seat.
His face was extremely handsome, with a pale and bloodless face, red and black lips, coupled with a pair of deep eyes that seemed to hide hell, he was particularly eerie and frightening. The thick curly hair is casually scattered on the shoulders, the black robe is dotted with gold trim, inlaid with scales and orbs, and the shoulder armor is lifted up like peacock feathers, which is so gorgeous that it is dizzying.
He was sitting on the throne with his legs crossed, his hands resting on his chin, his eyes were unfocused, as if he was thinking about something. Wisps of black air hovered around him like flowing clouds.
The door of the main hall was open, and a cloud of dark green air, like cooking smoke, quickly swept in from a distance. In the hall, the dark green mass suddenly swelled and dissipated, revealing a huge beast with a white head, a snake tail and a single eye, exuding a dark green aura.
The animal roared, and the man stood up, and soon turned into a nine-foot-tall man. His muscles were swollen all over, and his face was full of fierceness, which made people shudder to see.
"Fei Yao pays homage to the Holy Son!" The big man cupped his fists and saluted the young man on the throne.
The young man in black didn't respond, and kept his previous posture motionless, as if he didn't hear the big man at all, and didn't notice his arrival. He didn't say a word, and the big man didn't dare to move, so he stood in the hall and waited.
After a long time, the young man in black finally recovered from his contemplation. He glanced at the big man in the hall, his expression remained unchanged, neither surprised nor excited. Looking at the big man's eyes, it was as if the man had been standing in the hall, He said flatly, "Fei Yao, do you know why we came here?"
"Respond to the order of Xianting, and come here to arrest the sinners of Xianting." Fei Yaoweng said, this question is not difficult, they were told so before they came.
The black-robed young man was noncommittal, and lightly ordered: "Then you can do it."
"Yes, Holy Son!" Fei Yao clasped his fists as he promised, stepped back to the entrance of the hall, and transformed back into the form of a bull. A cloud of dark green smoke rose from under his feet, dragging him into the air.
The hall was empty again.
In fact, even if Fei Yao was standing there, the hall still seemed empty. At the end of the hall, tens of feet long and wide, where there was no sunlight, the young man in black robe on the throne fell into deep thought after Fei Yao left.

Maybe he wasn't thinking, just in a daze. When there is too much time in sight and there is nothing important to do, there is no difference between contemplation and daze.
