In the corner of Xianting, where the sea of clouds is vast, there is a small pond with mountains and rivers, and there is a small pavilion beside the pond.
Two immortals are playing chess in the pavilion. Their demeanor is soothing, and there is a lot of meaning in each picture, as if they are painting a landscape painting, which is pleasing to the eye.
After a long time, the game was over, and the Immortal Emperor in normal clothes threw the chess pieces into the chess box, smiled and said to Li Changgeng: "Your chess skills have regressed a lot. When I played against you last time, you didn't lose so badly. quick."
Li Changgeng said sincerely: "Your Majesty's chess skills have improved, it is only natural that Chang Geng should lose."
The Immortal Emperor was noncommittal, he seemed to be in a good mood today, his face was always pleasant, and he lost a lot of the majesty facing the officials in the Purple Night Palace. But only close officials like Li Changgeng knew that the Immortal Emperor had always been easy-going in private, and when he was almost never angry, his majesty in the palace was only needed to coerce his officials.
Daoist immortals are mostly undisciplined, even if the system of immortal emperors is basically the same as that of mortal courts, immortal officials seldom have long-cherished worries. If it weren't for the current war in the Immortal Territory, court meetings in the Purple Night Palace would be seldom held. If the Immortal Emperor were not more majestic, I'm afraid no one would come to the court meeting.
The chessboard has been taken away by the attendants, and there is a tea-making fairy next to him offering fragrant tea. The Immortal Emperor took a sip, as if feeling something: "There are countless spiritual springs in the Immortal Domain, but for some reason, the brewed tea always feels a little less interesting, and the tea in the mortal world is more affordable."
Li Changgeng knew the elegant meaning of the strings, and asked tentatively: "Is Your Majesty worried about the chaos in the world?"
The Immortal Emperor put down his tea bowl, and his smile became more bitter and helpless: "Li Ye got the secret in the secret realm and was recognized by the Dao of Heaven. Now that he has the secret to protect his body, it is very difficult for the immortal to kill him. Humans in the world are unpredictable. Immortals’ intentions are hard to fathom, but to immortals, the unpredictable nature of Heaven’s will is truly unpredictable.”
Li Changgeng remained silent.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Taoist sect entered the Immortal Court, and that was naturally the will of heaven. As the spokesperson of the way of heaven, Xianting is in charge of everything in the world, which is also the will of heaven. But now, the heavenly secret representing the will of heaven has been obtained by Li Ye, and has not fallen into the hands of Xianting, which is intriguing.
The Immortal Emperor sat cross-legged, with his hands flat on his knees, his eyes crossed the pavilion and became far away at the end of the sea of clouds.
He said calmly and calmly: "After all, we underestimated this Li Ye. We really didn't expect him to have the luck to overthrow the world. Before, we regarded him as an ant, and thought that we could kill him by sending someone casually. If It's not that Zhang Ji missed it, but the secret of the sky is the master, we don't know how long we will be wrong."
Speaking of this, the Immortal Emperor fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Li Changgeng said at the right time: "Li Ye has the protection of heaven, and it is impossible to send someone to assassinate him. For the present plan, the only way is to support Zhu Wen to compete with him head-on. The order of heaven and earth, in the final analysis, is still in the hands of the emperor. As long as Zhu Wen wins the world, even if Li Ye has a body protected by heavenly secrets, he will not be able to stir up any more troubles with his body in common clothes."

The Immortal Emperor nodded slightly: "It's time to shift the focus from assassinating Li Ye to fighting for the world. Looking at the weather of the world, I found that this time the world is in chaos. If orthodoxy is lost, is the world going to return to the situation at the time of Yingzheng? That is really going to be chaotic."
Li Changgeng breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the Immortal Emperor would hold onto Li Ye. After all, Li Ye had caused a lot of losses to the Immortal Court, and it would be embarrassing for the Immortal Emperor to give up the assassination of Li Ye.
Li Changgeng has no choice but to admire the Immortal Emperor's ability to take the initiative to reflect on himself. But he felt that this was normal, after all, he was the Immortal Emperor.
Li Changgeng said: "Nowadays the monster clan is taking advantage of the chaos, and there is no shortage of monks beside Li Ye. If Zhu Wen wants to win Li Ye, Xianting will have to help."
The Immortal Emperor glanced at Li Changgeng: "What does Aiqing mean?"
Li Changgeng said bluntly: "Your Majesty should know better than your servants. Right now, it's time to become a soldier."
The Immortal Emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes changing several times.
In the end he still nodded and said: "The Immortal Territory is in a war. Because of this, the world must not lose control. It is indeed necessary to dispatch Dao soldiers at this time."
Li Changgeng stood up and left his seat, prostrated himself on the ground, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise."
There are immortal soldiers and generals in the fairy court, or heavenly soldiers and generals, who use fairyland monks as soldiers and hold magic weapons to form battle formations. In contrast, the mortal Taoist soldiers are the army of the Taoist Immortal Court sweeping the world.
Dao soldiers are not all fairyland.
Apart from the different fields of battle, this is the only difference between immortal soldiers and Taoist soldiers.
...
There was a heavy rain in Taiyuan City, which lasted for three days without a break.
Three days later, the temperature rose sharply, and it was sunny and scorching sun for four consecutive days.
During these seven days, there was a white-robed swordsman standing on the top of the north gate tower, and remained motionless despite the wind, sun, and rain.
After the news spread in Taiyuan City, the swordsman seemed to have become the most popular scenery in Taiyuan City. Both common people and monks, big and small, rushed to the north gate, looking up at the swordsman, and there were many discussions .
Taiyuan City was almost deserted by thousands of people, and the bustle of the North Gate temporarily surpassed that of the most prosperous Dongshi City in the past. Not to mention the heavy traffic, the pedestrians rubbed their shoulders, and the road was blocked.
After hearing the news, various vendors came here, and in the square area near the North Gate, they started various businesses in every possible way, especially the various food stalls connected to each other, forming a long queue.
In the end, the government and the city defense garrison had to come forward to control the situation, which restored the smooth flow of the road.
It is day and night, the moon and stars are thin, and the people have all returned. The north gate returned to silence, the white-robed swordsman was still standing on the eaves, his robes fluttering like visitors from outside the sky.
"Do you have to choose such a place to enlighten? You just stood there for seven days and nights. Do you know what those little girls in the city think of you? Various versions of love stories have been spread, and they are all looking forward to it. When will a fairy appear on the cornice, so that I can fly with you!"
Li Ye jumped up to the roof with two wine jars in hand, threw one over to Nangong Yiyi, and joked helplessly.
Nangong No. 1, who stood like a sculpture for seven days and seven nights without even moving a finger, reached out to catch the wine jar, and without a word, he threw his head up and down.
After drinking, Nangong No.1 sat down cross-legged on the cornice, facing Li Ye and said solemnly: "I think I'm going to become a fairy."
Li Ye smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not because the wine is too strong, you'll get drunk after just one sip."
Nangong No.1 said seriously: "I'm not joking."
Nangong No. 1 seldom joked. This guy's temperament has never changed, and he has always maintained a cold and aloof style.
But ever since he came out of the secret realm of the Dao of Heaven, he seemed to have lost his heart, lost his soul and kept silent all day long. This time, he ran to the tower of the north gate and stood there for seven days and seven nights, and he finally regained some of his old style.
In the secret realm of the Dao of Heaven, great monks come and go, Nangong No. 1 is not good at cultivation, not to mention soy sauce all the way, and finally fell into the hands of monks in the Buddhist realm and became a prisoner, which was a great blow to his self-esteem.
Li Ye took out a pack of overcooked pig's trotters from his waist, and threw it over to Nangong No. 1, "To achieve the fairyland, the Daoist Immortal Court has the final say. For many years, the Daoist has been controlling the orthodoxy, you should know, in the future In your situation, I am afraid that Xianting will not accept you."
Nangong No. 1 stopped talking, not because he was lost in thought, but because he was busy gnawing on the pig's trotters.
On weekdays, Nangong No. 1 is also a handsome person. Although his eyes are a little too small, he looks so handsome from a distance, but he always disappoints Xiaojiaoniang when viewed up close, but he never slacks off his demeanor. It seems that besides the way of swordsmanship, that is already his second way.
Li Ye has never seen a situation where he gnawed his head on a pig's trotter with his face full of lard like now.
After finishing eating the pig's trotters, Nangong Yiban lay on the eaves, holding his protruding belly and let out a long sigh of satisfaction, "I will remember your pig's trotters, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them for a long time in the future."
Li Ye heard his subtext: "It feels like what I said when I was parting."
Nangong No. 1 seemed to have let go of the big stone in his heart, and he was very relaxed. He said: "I plan to go to Hexi."
Li Ye was slightly taken aback, wondering why Nangong No.1 suddenly had such a plan. Li Xian has already gone to Hexi, guarding the gate of the Tang Dynasty, is Nangong No. 1 planning to fight side by side with Li Xian
Li Ye laughed and said: "It seems that I brought too few pig's trotters today... When you arrive in Hexi, you may really not be able to eat pig's trotters. The people in Hexi don't seem to raise pigs."
Nangong No. 1 shook his head again: "Although Hexi has been occupied by Tubo and Uighurs for many years, I heard that the people there all wear the clothes of the Central Plains, and their behavior is no different from that of the Central Plains. Maybe...they There are also pigs raised there.”
Li Ye laughed, he really didn't want to continue discussing the topic of raising pigs, although he felt that there weren't many people raising pigs in the Central Plains, and the Hexi side should all be raising sheep.
"Actually, it's a little bit worse." Nangong Yi put his hands behind his head, lay on the cornice with his knees bent, his hair was fluttering in the wind, and looked at the stars in the sky for a long time, then suddenly said: "So I want to go to Hexi. I I haven't been to Hexi yet, maybe the desert yellow sand and the battle-ridden frontier can give me a different understanding and help me achieve the fairyland."
Li Ye asked strangely: "You and the Immortal Realm are still separated by a Realm of Yangshen Daoist, so you are so sure?"
Nangong first curled his lips: "If you can step into the Tao in one step, what's the point of crossing two thresholds?"
He paused, and his tone suddenly became solemn: "I will come back to help you level the world and reshape the Tang Dynasty after I have achieved the Immortal Realm!"
Li Ye smiled: "I'm afraid the Earth Fairyland won't work, at least it has to be a Heavenly Wonderland."
Nangong No. 1 snorted: "What is the Heavenly Wonderland? Haven't you discovered that this time the world is in great chaos, and the Heavenly Dao Qi is scattered so much. If you can catch a wisp, let alone the Heavenly Wonderland, when we meet again It is possible for me to become a Da Luo Jinxian!"
Li Ye was dumbfounded, and stretched out his hand to wave towards the city, and a wine jar flew up, and he pushed the wine jar to Nangong No. 1: "Once you step into the Tao, you will become a fairy; if you enter the Tao, you will be ranked among the golden immortals of Daluo. I hope you When I came back after taking these two steps, my bones hadn't been turned into ashes."
Holding the huge wine jar, Nangong No. 1 sighed, "It really won't be long. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my name."
Li Ye nodded softly: "Then I'll wait for you to come back and bring me to kill everyone."
"It's a deal!"
"The bright moon is the proof."
