Chapter 154: The horse is lost again

Views:

In the ancient town on the other side of the river, Zhou Bo and others looked in wonder as they watched Su Yun kill Wen Zhaozhi's five men swiftly and walk into the city.

"Is this an immortal body?" asked Zhou Bo.

"It's not an immortal body, but it's better than an immortal body."

The tea master in the tea house next to him seemed to be able to hear his words and whispered: "This is what Qiu Taichang wants to do, to refine an ordinary person's body to be like an immortal body. Immortal bodies and immortal skills are not as good as this kind of practice..."

The old cow grazing on the street still had grass in its mouth, forgetting to swallow it. It looked up at the direction where Su Yun left, and murmured, "Is this the immortal method that Your Majesty wants? If he continues to practice like this, will he be able to live forever?"

The chef in the restaurant had a twinkling look in his eyes: "If Qiu Taichang could create a magic method that could make him immortal, then..."

Just at this moment, Xue Qingfu walked out of the Saint's Residence, and everyone in the ancient town hurriedly put on a smiling face and greeted Xue Qingfu warmly.

Xue Qingfu returned the greetings with a smile one by one, not looking down on these people because of their humble status. The ancient town was filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.

Zhou Bo prepared the cart and was about to tie up the old ox. He asked, "Are you planning to go out, Master?"

Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "These days, Zuo Pushe has been worried about Su Yun staying with me, so he has been watching me for ten days. His eyes are vicious and make me feel uncomfortable, so I'm going out for a walk. There's no need to tie up the ox cart. I'm going to take a walk along the river."

Zhou Bo followed him, leading the old cow, and said, "Mr. Su's kung fu is really good."

"Of course."

Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "Qiu Shuijing created a magic method, maybe this time it will succeed and make people live forever like immortals. It's strange to say that when Qu Taichang and his team went to study the Heaven Gate and open the fairyland, they died in a catastrophe. The emperor ordered people to get the Chaotianque that recorded the method to open the fairyland, but it was said that it has never been found. Could it be that the Chaotianque fell into Qiu..."

He frowned and stopped talking, smiling, "Am I overthinking? Qiu Taichang was not in Tianshiyuan at that time."

Zhou Bo and Lao Niu lowered their heads and stopped talking.

Xue Qingfu looked across the river, his eyes flickering, and whispered, "That is the Chaotian Palace with eight sides that can open the fairyland. It records the secret of immortality researched by Yuanshuo's top masters such as Qu Taichang. It's a pity, why did it disappear... By the way, Lao Zhou, how long have you been following me?"

Just as Zhou Bo was about to speak, he suddenly saw a short and stocky old man walking towards him with his hands behind his back. He quickly bowed and walked away.

Zuo Songyan glanced at Zhou Bo and the old cow and said with a smile: "The servants and cows of the saint's family are both first-class masters, which is enviable."

Xue Qingfu sighed: "If the old man is envious, he can stay in my house for a few days."

Zuo Songyan shook his head and said, "I won't go. If I go, the Emperor of Dongdu will know exactly how many hairs I have down there."

Xue Qingfu smiled bitterly and said, "They don't know it so clearly. Those maids won't climb onto your bed and count your hair..."

Zuo Songyan looked strange and asked tentatively, "You've never climbed it?"

Xue Qingfu hesitated for a moment and answered truthfully, "I did climb, but I was worried about my reputation being damaged, so I chased him down. Otherwise, I might have been counted out."

Zuo Songyan laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed on the river.

Xue Qingfu smiled, and when he stopped laughing, he said, "Qiu Shuijing may not be with us to the end. He is very likely to be recalled to the East Capital by the Emperor in advance and reinstated."

Zuo Songyan frowned: "If the emperor summons him, we and the Marquis of Shuofang will not be able to stop the counterattack of the seven great families. At this critical moment, Qiu Shuijing must not be recalled under any circumstances! The Emperor of Dongdu is not a tyrant!"

Xue Qingfu smiled and said, "Whether the Emperor of Dongdu is a tyrant or not, we will know in a few days. Zuo Pushe, do you and I want to make a bet?"

Zuo Songyan took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "How do you want to bet?"

Shuofang Lin family.

Lin Qingsheng returned to the Lin family in a daze. He sat there blankly, motionless, with no life in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyuan frowned, feeling uneasy. He hurriedly found the old immortal Lin Gaoyi and said, "Sheng'er has an appointment with the imperial envoy surnamed Su to fight a life-and-death duel in front of the Shuofang Palace in fourteen days! Right now, Sheng'er's eyes are devoid of interest and filled with despair. I'm worried that his cultivation will be greatly damaged because of this. In the decisive battle in half a month, there is no chance of winning! I beg the ancestor to give me some advice!"

Lin Gaoyi came to see Lin Qingsheng and laughed, "Sheng'er, crisis is both a danger and an opportunity. You only see that you are no match for him at the same level, but you don't see that he is only at the first cave heaven, and you have already cultivated to the sixth cave heaven. As long as you take one more step forward in these fourteen days and cultivate to the Yuandong realm, the gap between him and you will be a chasm that is beyond your reach. Even a genius will have to suffer at the hands of your piano!"

Lin Qingsheng's eyes moved, and he regained some spirit: "Ancestor, can I cultivate to the Yuandong realm within fourteen days?"

"cannot."

Lin Gaoyi said decisively: "You have only been in the Soul Condensation Realm for two years, and you have only recently reached the Sixth Cave Heaven. It is almost impossible for you to break through in one fell swoop and reach the Yuandong Realm within fourteen days!"

Lin Qingsheng's face suddenly turned pale and he vomited blood.

Lin Gaoyi stroked his back and said with a smile, "But there is nothing absolute in this world. Tribulation Ashes are the essence of the previous world, and can greatly improve your essence. If you use Tribulation Ashes to practice, and add the True Dragon Technique, you can practice to the Yuandong realm in just fourteen days!"

Lin Qingsheng remembered that Su Yun once ignited the ashes of catastrophe to improve his own cultivation, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

Elder Immortal Lin Gaoyi's eyes flickered as he said, "Tong Qingyun is my old friend. He has already reached an agreement with the Jiehui Monster. You will follow me to the Tong family. During these fourteen days, the Jiehui Monster will personally teach you how to use the Jiehui to practice."

Lin Qingsheng was surprised and delighted, and kowtowed to Lin Gaoyi repeatedly.

Lin Gaoyi brought him to the Tong family's fairy residence. Tong Qingyun ordered someone to take Lin Qingsheng to a secret room in the fairy residence. There was a mirror hanging in the secret room. Tong Qingyun motioned Lin Qingsheng to walk into the mirror.

Lin Qingsheng was feeling uneasy, so he entered the mirror, only to find that this was a spiritual world, which was extremely vast. In the spiritual world, many spiritual masters were practicing with a burly robbery ash monster, learning how to take robbery ash to increase their magic power!

The gray monster had bones and muscles like wheel spokes, and had wings behind it, looking strange.

Lin Qingsheng was stunned to see that many of those spiritualists were actually scholars from the seven major families!

In addition to the scholars from the seven great families, he also saw some generals and soldiers from the local armies!

These people followed the gray monster to practice, and their bodies unexpectedly underwent subtle changes. Their bones were exposed, and their appearances became more and more weird!

"It's better than dying at the hands of the Su guy!" Lin Qingsheng gritted his teeth, joined the crowd, and followed the gray monster to practice.

The immortals were in the middle, Tong Qingyun and Lin Gaoyi were sitting upright, and the old immortal Tong stood beside them serving them.

Lin Gaoyi sighed, "I don't want Sheng'er to become a dead soldier. It's a pity that he followed the Jiehui monster to practice, and after absorbing the power of Jiehui, it won't take long for him to become neither human nor ghost."

Tong Qingyun smiled and said, "But his strength will also increase greatly as a result."

He stood up and said leisurely: "If I can use the life of a Lin family man to exchange for the life of Su Shangshi, it will be a huge profit no matter how you look at it."

Lin Gaoyi laughed loudly: "That's right, it's a win-win situation! Lin Gaoyi's battle with Su Shangshi seems to have delayed Su Shangshi, but in fact, we are the ones who delayed time!"

He stood up and said coldly: "He thought he could plot against us, but he didn't expect that we would use the Grey Robbery Monsters to assimilate more spiritualists. At the same time, there are more Grey Robbery Monsters on the grassland, forming an army and rushing here!"

Tong Qingyun's eyes flickered as he said, "Don't underestimate Envoy Su. He is old and cunning, with a maturity and cunning that does not match his age."

Lin Gaoyi laughed and said, "But what about us? We have lived 150 years longer than him. How could he possibly outsmart us? Qingyun, think about it, what did we do 150 years ago?"

He laughed, triumphantly.

Tong Qingyun smiled and said, "One hundred and fifty years ago, we did a great job. In the future, we will do even better! This world will eventually belong to us!"

Wenchang Academy.

When Su Yun returned to Gewuyuan, he saw that most of the building had been renovated, with only the last hall left to be completed. The mute senior brother and those civil engineering masters were nowhere to be found.

Master Ye Luo, Li Zhuxian, Bai Yuelou and Wutong are all in the Gewu Academy. They all study their own things and do not interfere with each other.

Bai Yuelou studied under Xue Qingfu and often went to Qiu Shuijing to listen to his lectures. Wutong was a human-demon and would go to Qiu Shuijing to listen to his lectures as soon as he had money. Li Zhuxian and Ye Luogongzi were heirs of aristocratic families and would also often go to Qiu Shuijing to listen to his lectures.

Especially Young Master Ye Luo, because he was the envoy sent by the Emperor, he had to monitor Qiu Shuijing on the one hand, and seek advice from Qiu Shuijing on the other, so he ran very frequently.

Qiu Shuijing even doubted for a time whether Su Yun was his disciple or they were his disciples. Su Yun had only been to Qiu Shuijing's Shenxianju once, but the four people from Wenchang Academy went there almost every day.

"The Wenchang Emperor Temple was demolished by a horse. The foreman took people to repair the Wenchang Emperor Temple."

Master Ye Luo said to Su Yun, "I heard that a few nights ago, Emperor Wenchang appeared in spirit. The emperor's golden body rode a dragon horse and went out at night to travel around the north. The emperor rode the dragon horse several times, going out at night and coming back before dawn, and tied the horse in the temple. Later, the horse was unhappy, and took advantage of the fact that the emperor did not appear that night, so it demolished the emperor's temple."

Su Yun was stunned and hesitated in his heart: "This horse has a fierce temper, and it can only be ridden at night. Otherwise, why not take Senior Sister Xiaoyao for a ride and then send her back..."

Master Ye Luo continued, "... and yesterday, Emperor Wenchang rode out on horseback again, and both the Emperor and the horse were lost."

Su Yun was still thinking about whether to send Longxiong back to Dongling. Hearing this, he was stunned: "The emperor and the horse are both lost?"

Young Master Ye Luo nodded and said, "Master Tu Ming and Taoist Xian Yun are still looking for him."
