Shaoshi Mountain.
Located in Wenliang State, it is the mountain gate of Fuyao Palace.
Wenliang is located on the east side of Zhaoqin. When placed on the map of Kyushu continent, its geographical location belongs to the east side.
In terms of comprehensive national strength, Wenliang was a thousand-year-old divine dynasty, and its royal family was not tainted by the blood curse. It was stronger than the sum of the three kingdoms of Chu, Wu Zhou, Qi and Yan, and had Mahayana cultivators in charge.
Logically speaking, Wenliang has a solid foundation and can easily take the top spot as a regional power like Xuanlong.
It’s a pity that it’s too close to Zhao Qin.
Because the comprehensive national strength was slightly lower than that of Zhao Qin, the relationship between the two countries was harmonious. Wen Liang called him "big brother" and Zhao Qin called him "boy", which was a standard template of brotherly love and respect.
In order to show respect for his elder brother, Wen Liang not only followed Zhao Qin's lead at the Holy Land Conference, but also left a small friendly buffer country to avoid direct contact between the two countries on the border.
There have been many intermarriages between the two countries in history. In addition to the excellent relationship between the royal families, the Mahayana monks in Wenliang were often invited to dinner by Zhaoqin.
For example, Yan Xiaoshuang would receive an invitation from the Zhaoqin royal family every hundred years, inviting her to give lectures in Zhaoqin so that everyone could comprehend together and learn from each other.
Zhao Qin's investment was worth it. During this civil strife, all of Wen Liang's Mahayana monks went into seclusion and no one dared to interfere.
At the beginning, Yan Xiaoshuang was also like this, staying in seclusion and refusing to go out, until Concubine Kan Meng in the sect was abducted by Xuanwu, and then she rashly stepped into southern Xinjiang.
The mountains are rolling and looming in the misty green. The main peak is half-hidden in clouds and mist. It is favored by the branches of the Kunlun Mountains and has abundant spiritual energy, making it an excellent place for spiritual practice.
The white jade path leads to the sky, straight into the depths of clouds and mist. Climbing up the steps, it feels like ascending to heaven.
Two figures came at high speed, and when they saw Yan Xiaoshuang, they bowed hastily and said, "Disciple greets Palace Master."
The two female disciples were dressed in palace costumes and had long hair, and they were pretty good-looking.
He was just an average person. When the pretty boy next to Yan Xiaoshuang stared at him, he lowered his head and dared not look at him, not even daring to glare at him.
Yan Xiaoshuang nodded, asked a female disciple to lead the way, and asked if there were any major events happening in Wenliang within a few days of their departure.
The major event refers to the impact of the civil strife in Zhao Qin on Wen Liang. Prince Yan has been involved in politics for a thousand years, not only turning Zhao Qin into his own shape, but also having an impact on neighboring countries.
This time, the Zhao Qin royal family and Prince Yan had a showdown, and Prince Yan was defeated. The Imperial Observatory existed in name only, but its influence spread, enough to subvert several surrounding vassal states.
It is impossible that Wen Liang was not affected.
He asked a few simple questions and the disciples answered them one by one.
There is an impact, but it's not a big problem.
Only a few princes died suddenly of colds and the crown prince was demoted for molesting a palace maid, but everyone in Wenliang still respected Zhao Qin as their eldest brother.
Yan Xiaoshuang nodded. Fuyao Palace was a secluded mountain gate that adhered to the principle of low-key cultivation of immortals. As long as there was no dynasty change in the secular world, it would not be a big deal in her eyes if the prince molested a palace maid and was demoted, or even if the emperor molested the queen and was dismissed.
Lu Bei followed Yan Xiaoshuang, walking with the same ruthless pace as Yang Lianting, with a very arrogant look in his eyes. Whenever he met a disciple, he would stare at the person fiercely.
Like Liluan Palace, Fuyao Palace only accepts female disciples. There are more than 400 people in the mountain gate, all dressed in white.
This is also the reason why Lu Bei looked around when he went up the mountain.
There are too many monks and too little porridge, and we are outnumbered by the enemy. If we don't want to be surrounded and besieged tonight, we must set up someone to say "What are you looking at?"
"Who is that person? He has an abominable face and a lecherous look. Could he be the Palace Master's guest?"
"Yes, he just stared at me, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I'm telling you in secret, don't tell anyone, when he was staring at me, I thought I was naked..."
"But that person is at a very high level. At first glance, he looks very powerful, real and fake. Could he be a Mahayana cultivator?"
Hearing the disciples' whispers, Yan Xiaoshuang felt tired. She tried her best to maintain the dignity of the Palace Master and sent a message to Lu Bei, asking him to restrain himself.
Lu Bei received the message, patted his butt, and said that he would try his best to restrain himself.
Yan Xiaoshuang was struck by lightning. She looked around and confirmed that there were no witnesses. She glared at Lu Bei angrily.
Speed up and leave.
On the side, Han Miaojun smiled softly, and every laugh was like a knife, urging Yan Xiaoshuang to speed up.
Soon, the three arrived at the palace gate hall.
With cloud tops as beams, pearls and jade as scrolls, gold as pillars and flowing silver as walls, the magnificent hall sparkles brightly, standing on the top of the main peak like a bright moon, hanging above the mountains.
The hall is paved with white jade, and the ground is warm and smooth when you step on it.
In the center, a lotus pond was carved out to turn spiritual energy into liquid. Nine white jade lotuses were lined up in a row, looking vivid and lively. The details such as the lotus stems and stamens were lifelike, implying that lotus will grow with every step.
Han Miaojun frowned upon seeing this. She was somewhat unhappy to see her old friend again after a long separation and find that Yan Xiaoshuang was living a good life in Fuyao Palace.
As soon as he saw the pretty boy next to him with his nose poking at people, he immediately smiled.
What a beautiful palace lady, it's a pity that she was not bitten by a dog.
In the main hall, Yan Xiaoshuang called in four elders. The beauties in palace dress were as pretty as the autumn moon, each with their own beauty and graceful demeanor.
Although they were all ordinary stuff in Lu Bei's eyes, because there were so many people, they all admitted that this painting of beauty was pleasing to the eye and that Fu Yao Palace did have its merits.
Yan Xiaoshuang first introduced Han Miaojun. When the four elders heard that the Palace Master of Liluan Palace was coming in person, they were stunned at first, and then expressed their welcome.
Ever since the last Palace Master ascended to heaven, the two Palaces have seldom interacted with each other, and in the past hundred years, they had not had any contact with each other. Now that the barrier has been broken and the relationship has warmed up, it is undoubtedly a good thing.
"This fellow Taoist is Sect Master Lu of the Tianjian Sect, and he learned the Immortal Sword Intent from you." Yan Xiaoshuang said concisely.
Lu Bei's nostrils blew out two puffs of hot air, with a proud look on his face. After listening to the introduction, he said dissatisfiedly: "That's it, what about the bottom, isn't there more?"
“No more.”
Yan Xiaoshuang waved her sleeves and refused to confess the affair between them in front of her disciples.
Lu Bei didn't take it seriously. He responded to the four elders' polite words, suppressed his arrogance, and humbly said that the Immortal Sword Intent was just so-so and it was not worthy of its reputation. He then kindly invited the four beauties in palace dress to sit in the back hill to discuss the Dao.
After saying that, he added that Palace Master Yan always gained a lot every time he discussed Taoism with him.
Seeing that the four elders were quite interested, Yan Xiaoshuang interrupted with a dark face and said in a cold voice: "This palace and this person have already had the ceremony of dual cultivation, but you should not misunderstand, just like the old palace master, this helpless move is only for the immortal way of longevity."
The sudden change made it difficult for the four elders to accept it for a while. They didn't know whether to congratulate or give advice.
The pure and innocent palace master went out for a while, not far, she just walked around her home, and when she came back she had them, all saying that she wanted to be alone.
That's right!
Lu Bei nodded with satisfaction. He was not trying to scare Yan Xiaoshuang, but the latter dared to keep hiding the truth and refused to face up to her bleak life. He would take advantage of her and make the Fuyao Palace have more than a dozen small groups in one night after the large group.
By then, the trend of beauty's scheming will sweep the whole mountain. Today you jump into a well, tomorrow she hangs herself, and the day after tomorrow there will be a murder in a closed room. Within three to five days, the chaotic Fu Yao Palace will completely bid farewell to its peace.
This is the end of the rhythm!
Lu Bei was very proud, but Yan Xiaoshuang's face became even colder. She told the four elders that she had invited them here not only to introduce two distinguished guests, but also to deal with an important matter.
She waved her hand and took out the Taoist map, released Concubine Kan Meng who had violated the sect rules, and punished her to face the wall for two hundred years as a warning to others.
All I can say is that Concubine Kan Meng was unlucky, as her life was originally supposed to be a hundred years.
Afterwards, Yan Xiaoshuang reiterated the sect rules, stating that no one was allowed to enter Zhao Qin without her permission for nearly a hundred years.
Don’t think that Zhao Qin’s situation is settled and the turmoil is over, in fact it is not.
It has just begun.
Prince Yan Jiang Suxin has many supporters. In order to consolidate the national strength of Zhao Qin, the royal family cannot kill him with one blow. The best strategy is to win over some and suppress some.
It is like the Mahayana monks gathered in southern Xinjiang, all waiting for the Yellow Spring Pearl and following King Yan's footsteps.
It is impossible for the royal family to let them leave, and they will definitely find ways to keep a group of people. These monks have friends all over the world, and after a while, it is possible that one of them will be related to the Fuyao Palace.
Palace Master Yan had a broad vision and managed the mountain gate in an orderly manner. The four elders were ordered to leave, but Concubine Kan Meng was willing to accept the punishment and went to the back mountain alone to face the wall.
After finishing official business, the next thing was personal matters. Lu Bei was very interested in the inheritance of the two palaces' martial arts, so he asked Yan Xiaoshuang to lead the way and personally explore the treasure house at the mountain gate of Fuyao Palace.
Yan Xiaoshuang would have to be crazy to agree to her request, so she politely declined the offer on the grounds that men were not allowed to enter the treasure house at the mountain gate.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely true!" Yan Xiaoshuang said firmly.
"Actually, this sect master's Yin-Yang Creation Diagram has the great power to reverse Yin-Yang, so it's not impossible to have a woman."
"… "
In the end, Yan Xiaoshuang did not agree to let Lu Bei enter the mountain gate treasury. As the palace master, she was very responsible and would rather suffer misfortune herself than bring disaster to the entire mountain.
Lu Bei hasn't changed either. Having experienced the painful loss of little Lu Bei once, he doesn't want to experience it again.
Both sides should take a step back, practice dual cultivation first, and talk about it later.
In the palace lady's boudoir, the wind blows the gauze and the pearl curtain touches the sound of bells.
Under Han Miaojun's teasing gaze, Yan Xiaoshuang reluctantly sat opposite Lu Bei, took out the secret methods passed down by the mountain sect, and showed them to him one by one.
The way of jade transformation.
Tiankui's secret technique of evil intention.
Illustrated Book of the Seven Evil Stars. Incomplete version.
The general outline of the Nine Stars Hidden in the Clouds.
Among them, only Hua Yudao, the master of Fu Yao Palace, can inherit the method. The Jade Maiden's Taoist body is perfected, and the jade stone is broken to return to the innate state, which is comparable to the body of an immortal.
Tiankui Huoxin's secret technique connects directly to heaven and earth. If one's cultivation is successful, Huoxin can reverse the rules of heaven and earth. The most direct effect is that Yan Xiaoshuang changed the flow of time and broke Lu Bei's super speed ability.
The incomplete copy of the Seven Killing Stars Atlas is one of the few secret killing techniques in the Fu Yao Palace. A dot of red light between the eyebrows can destroy the body of a cultivator who has endured a thousand years of hard work. If it were not an incomplete copy, its power would be even greater.
The final Nine Stars Hidden in the Clouds outline gave rise to many magical powers and secret methods, which are similar to the Liluan Palace's Hidden Stars Technique. It can be used to observe the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and to explore all living things, as well as to explore a little bit of numerology, geomancy, divination, strange gates, and astrology.
The inheritance connection has a hidden meaning. Because the two former palace masters got together, they learned from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and together they participated in the world, which led to the feat of ascending to heaven together.
Lu Bei touched them one by one, without any intention of practicing. He waved his hand and placed the Nine Lights Cloud Hidden Outline in Han Miaojun's hand.
“No!”
Yan Xiaoshuang raised her hand to interrupt, Lu Bei could watch, but Han Miaojun absolutely could not.
"No room for negotiation?"
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, muttered that the weather was too hot, and untied his belt with a wave of his hand.
Yan Xiaoshuang knew that the other party was trying to scare her, but she was still afraid that the other party would come for real, so she gritted her teeth and said, "In exchange for something, please ask Palace Master Han to take out the outline of the Hidden Star Technique."
Han Miaojun didn't care. She was so evil that she even sold herself out, let alone the inheritance of the mountain sect. She had already written a handwritten copy and it was in Lu Bei's hands.
"Take it."
Lu Bei tightened his belt, thinking that it would be troublesome without the Dragon Binding Rope, so he took out the outline of the Hidden Star Technique and handed it over.
The two palace masters were overjoyed and left Lu Bei alone to study hard.
The Orange Outsider reappears.
…
At the foot of the Fuyao Palace mountain, a figure climbed up the stairs, saw the disciple guarding the gate, and bowed.
Seeing this man, the gatekeeper disciple did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly led him into the hall, where an elder came to meet him.
He was not a powerful person, just a cultivator in the Refinement Realm who ran errands, but his master had a high status in Wenliang—Peng Xinzhi, the King of Zhenbei.
He was known as King Xiaoyan of Wenliang.
Five hundred years ago, the young Prince Yan was struck by the beauty Yan Xiaoshuang upon seeing her, and began his arduous pursuit of her.
The Fuyao Palace, which lives in peace with the world, has been able to have the illustrious wealth it has today, thanks to the generosity of its disciples, and the King of Zhenbei has made a lot of efforts.
In other words, he has been a bootlicker for five hundred years.
The Hundred Flowers Festival of Wenliang State is approaching. Peng Xinzhi collects famous flowers from all over the world and orders people to present an invitation to Shaoshi Mountain, just to make the beauty smile.
