"Guanghan?"

The Taoist Saint looked at the girl Wutong and said with a smile: "The human demon knows this text? Could it be a magic text?"

Wutong glanced at him and said, "The words that the Taoist Saint doesn't understand are the magic words? Old Taoist, you have to be open-minded, otherwise you will be struck by lightning."

"Those who advised the old Taoist to be open-minded were beaten to death by him."

Dao Sheng raised his eyebrows, unable to suppress his murderous intent: "When a human demon appears, there will be disasters! As a human demon, are you going to bring chaos to the world by entering Dongdu? Dongdu is where the dragon veins are, and the dynasty is prosperous. It is not a place where you can run wild!"

Jiao Shuao drew out his sword with a bang, and said murderously: "Old Niubi is so sarcastic, I have been displeased with you for a long time!"

The Taoist sneered: "If you continue to be an accomplice to the tiger, I will pull out your dragon tendons and peel off your dragon skin!"

Wutong got angry, slammed the table and stood up.

The Taoist Saint stood up and laughed loudly: "Today we will exorcise the demons and monsters..."

Su Yun slammed the table in front of him: "Enough!"

The tension in the carriage was high, but he made it quiet with his shout. Su Yun was so angry that he was shaking. He looked around and said in a slow tone, "Everyone sit down."

Wutong sat down, and Daosheng also sat down when he saw this.

Jiao Shuao hesitated for a moment, put away his sword and sat down.

Li Zhuxian watched with great interest, while Li Muge and Ye Luogongzi hid in the corner, trembling while holding the fat dragon. Li Zhuxian didn't know the danger in the carriage, but they knew the reason behind it.

The Taoist Saint is the great saint of Taoism. Although Taoism is a leisurely school, many academies offer Taoist courses. Taoist scholars have a strong sense of justice and regard it as their responsibility to subdue demons and monsters.

Daosheng had been sitting there for such a long time without attacking the girl Wutong, which showed that he was very restrained.

As for Wutong, although she has the image of a young girl, she is a human-demon after all. Wherever she goes, there are disasters. First there was the snow disaster 150 years ago, and then there was the turmoil among the seven major families in Shuobei.

Now she is going to Dongdu again, under the feet of the emperor, which makes people wonder whether she will spread disaster in Dongdu.

The Taoist saints attached great importance to the orthodoxy of imperial power. After ascending the throne, every Yuanshuo emperor would reward Taoism, promote its leaders, and confer them the title of Taoist saints. Therefore, Taoism was also very committed to protecting imperial power.

To safeguard the imperial power is to safeguard Taoism, and to safeguard the interests of the royal family is to safeguard the interests of Taoism.

Taoism is equivalent to another form of aristocratic family.

Otherwise, Dao Sheng would not have been asked by Emperor Ping to come and kill Xue Qingfu.

The Taoist Saint was worried that the demon's trip to the Eastern Capital would threaten the emperor's rule, and he was eager to find a reason to get rid of Wutong.

If the Taoist Sage fights the human demon, innocent people will naturally be affected, and those on this Candle Dragon Chariot will probably not have an easy time!

Su Yun glanced at Daosheng, then looked at the girl Wutong, and felt a headache.

He got along quite well with the Taoist Saint. He did not expect that the Taoist Saint would appear to him as an otherworldly sage, very easy to talk to, and would not get angry even if he made some excessive jokes. However, in front of Wutong and others, the Taoist Saint's majesty and his hatred of evil were exposed.

All of this is actually due to status.

The country boy is the master of Tongtian Pavilion. His status has reached a certain level. The Taoist Saint will naturally not turn against him easily, nor will he give Su Yun a cold shoulder. Making some jokes can also bring them closer.

But for Wutong, this is not necessary.

In fact, isn’t this also the case with Su Yun and Wu Tong’s relationship

Wutong is a human-demon after all, and since he can't do anything to Su Yun, they get along well with each other. Wutong and Su Yun even often help each other. Wutong also helped Shuofang survive the disaster of the rebellion of the seven great families, and absorbed the disaster energy and luck to benefit the people.

But the premise of all this is that Su Yun has the capital to cooperate with her.

"Wutong, what is the origin of Guanghan?" Su Yun asked with a smile.

"These two words are from the fairyland. I've heard people talk about the legend of Guanghan before."

Wutong said: "Legend has it that Guanghan is the place where the moon of the fairyland sinks. Every winter solstice, the moon will sink to Guanghan Mountain. There is a moon pool in Guanghan Mountain. The moon is immersed in the pool to refine the moon spirit. There is a rumor where I lived in my previous life. Guanghan Mountain should be somewhere in the fairyland. On the winter solstice, the moon is connected to Guanghan Mountain. You can reach Guanghan Mountain in the fairyland from the moon and collect the moon spirit."

Su Yun's heart was moved: "The winter solstice? Guanghan Mountain in the fairyland? Are those palaces on the moon guarding the altar? On the winter solstice, will there be a road leading directly to Guanghan Mountain in the fairyland from the altar?"

Wutong asked: "Where did you see these two words?"

Daosheng also became concerned.

Su Yun said: "I saw it on the moon."

Wutong was about to ask more, but Su Yun didn't answer, which made her so anxious that she wanted to pounce on him and bite his head a few times to see what was in his mind.

"Junior sister, you recognize these words. Where is your hometown?" Su Yun asked with a smile.

Wutong didn't answer.

Su Yun was in a bad mood.

When the sun rose, they arrived at Hexi City. Hexi City was different from Shuofang. It had an old city and a new city. The old city was dilapidated, but the new city was as luxurious as Shuofang.

Su Yun and his companions stopped in Hexi to buy food. At noon, they changed cars again and rode the Zhulong chariot to Hanoi.

We walked and stopped like this from Shuobei in Yuanshuo all the way to Shuodong, and after more than ten changes, we finally arrived in Dongdu.

Although they were all in one country, the customs and habits in each city and place were very different, which opened Su Yun's eyes.

When we arrived in Dongdu, we saw a divine city on land rising from the ground from afar.

The Eastern Capital was built on a plain, on which stood a magnificent and majestic Jade Peak. At the foot of the mountain was the first city of the Eastern Capital, with hexagonal and octagonal buildings rising from the ground, and layers of palaces stacked up, like small peaks growing out of the mountain!

The buildings spiral upward along the foothills, and the early morning sun shines down, illuminating the glazed tiles of the buildings and palaces, making them look extremely gorgeous and colorful.

On the Jade Peak, there are waterfalls, forests of grass and trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, all over the city. Even between the buildings, there are many trees and lakes.

You can even see flocks of white cranes flying between the vermilion buildings and blue glazed windows in the distance.

But this is only the first layer.

There is a second level city on the mountain.

The top floor of the first-floor building does not have a fairy residence like the one in Shuofang, but a group of buildings together support a Ganoderma lucidum-petal-shaped platform extending from the Yufeng Mountain.

There are nine petals of this kind of Ganoderma lucidum extending from the mountain, like a nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.

The urban clusters of Dongdu are built on these Ganoderma lucidum petals!

And on the topmost petals of the Ganoderma lucidum is the imperial palace, where Emperor Ping lives and rules Yuan Shuo's world!

There are waterfalls hanging down from the edges of the Ganoderma lucidum petals, with flying jades and flowing water, making the entire Eastern Capital look like a rainbow.

Su Yun looked at it from afar and couldn't help feeling refreshed. Such a magnificent scene really fulfilled Lou Ban's wish. He had indeed created a divine city and a fairyland on earth!

The Zhulong chariot let out a long cry as it drove into the Eastern Capital.

Suddenly, the wooden box in Su Yun's sleeve pocket began to jump violently. Su Yun hurriedly put his hands in his sleeve pockets and grabbed the wooden box tightly. His heart was pounding: "The masters of Tongtian Pavilion in all generations are ruthless people, especially the stall owner of Louban, who is the ruthless one among the ruthless ones!"

The entire Dongdu is divided into ten floors. The Zhulong chariot rushed into the bottom floor of Dongdu and immediately activated the key in Su Yun's hand.

Su Yun suddenly felt that wherever the Zhulong chariot passed, buildings all fell into his spiritual "vision". In his spiritual world, the great holy weapon, Dust Curtain Sky, began to change in various ways, turning into buildings on the lower floors of Dongdu, constantly extending forward.

Yingying was in his spiritual world, flying between these buildings, exclaiming constantly.

At this moment, the Taoist Saint was surprised, and looked at Su Yun. Suddenly, his brows cracked and a Taoist heavenly eye grew out.

At the same time, Wutong also showed a look of shock and looked towards Su Yun's spiritual world.

Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and the big yellow bell was turned upside down outside the dust curtain sky to prevent their investigation. He smiled and said, "We have arrived at Dongdu."

The Zhulong chariot slowly stopped, Su Yun and others got off and walked out of the Dongdu Post Station. They saw that the bottom of Dongdu was very humid and the ground was wet. Although there was sunlight, it was difficult to find this place.

It's like a rain forest here, a bit stuffy, with vines climbing up the buildings everywhere. There are many more people on the streets than in Shuofang, and their clothes are much more fancy than those of the lower-class people in Shuofang. Their speech and behavior all seem cultured.

It was the first time for Su Yun to come to a city like Dongdu. He saw that the carriages and chariots carrying mountains on the road were no longer the mainstream, but various kinds of exotic beasts and giant beasts, carrying small buildings on their backs.

Li Muge and Li Zhuxian walked slowly because they still had to get Tianfeng down from the Zhulong chariot. As soon as Tianfeng got down, she ran towards Su Yun, making Li Zhuxian tremble with anger.

"Want to fly in Dongdu?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "It's very simple. But I can't let you fly now. After all, I just arrived in Dongdu. It's hard for a powerful dragon to suppress a local snake. It's better to keep a low profile and save some face for Di Ping..."

Wutong, Li Zhuxian, Li Muge and the others were all visiting Dongdu for the first time. Young Master Ye Luo had been here once before and said, "If the emperor summons us, we must stay at the fifth level of Yuhuang Mountain. There is an official post called Xianliangyuan where officials from other provinces can report on their duties."

The fat dragon took out a small wooden building from the box, which turned out to be a set of spiritual weapons. The fat dragon shook its body and turned into a fat and big dragon. It raised the spiritual weapons and dropped them on itself.

Young Master Ye Luo went upstairs and said, "Big Brother, I will take you to Xianliang Courtyard to stay!"

Su Yun, Li Muge and others boarded the Fat Dragon Chariot. Wutong and Jiao Shuao followed, with Jiao Shuao looking disgusted.

Although the Fat Dragon Chariot was slow, it was extremely stable and did not shake at all when sitting in the small building. The big bird Tianfeng followed behind, looking around, curious about everything.

When we arrived at the second floor of Dongdu, we saw guards blocking the way and checking our identity.

Young Master Ye Luo took out the imperial edict and the guards hurriedly let him go.

On the way, Su Yun saw that there were gradually more foreigners on the streets. Their clothes were more gorgeous and gorgeous, and their eye color was different from that of the Yuanshuo people. They were often followed by many servants, all of whom were Yuanshuo people.

"Semu people?"

Su Yun also saw some Semites getting married in Yuan Shuo, with three wives and four concubines, showing off their power and arrogance. Even the guards of Dongdu were submissive and fawning to them.

"That's the upper class of Dongdu."

Master Ye Luo said, "The Semites have surpassed Yuan Shuo in recent years. During the reign of Emperor Ai, there were several wars, and Yuan Shuo lost some land and money. Later, the Semites in Dongdu gradually increased. Some officials hated the Semites and wanted to kill them all. Some officials knelt before Semites when they met them, and said that our Yuan Shuo race was inferior and that we should introduce more Semites to improve our Yuan Shuo race!"

"Fuck the improvement!" Li Muge said angrily.

Su Yun was puzzled and asked in confusion: "I read in history books that when we built palaces and began to practice five thousand years ago, the Semites were still living in trees and caves. How come their race is better than ours?"

"Not to mention five thousand years ago, even two or three thousand years ago, they lived in trees!"

Young Master Ye Luo spat angrily and said helplessly: "But who made them stronger now? I also heard that officials in Dongdu are planning to assimilate the Semites, saying that if Semites join Yuanshuo and become Yuanshuo people, Yuanshuo will become stronger, right? Senior Brother is familiar with the old holy scriptures, have you seen this truth?"

Su Yun shook his head: "In the five thousand years of history, no dynasty has ever relied on foreigners to help or have children. It doesn't make sense to rely on foreigners instead of relying on the Chinese people, supporting the Chinese people, and supporting education."

"You are going to be beheaded." Wutong said with a smile.

Jiao Shuao drew out the Dragon Tooth Sword, wiped it across his neck, and sneered.
