Chapter 106 Shuzhou Immortal Mountain
Back at the old house in Suzhou, Bu Feiyan was reading quietly in the study, and when he saw Lu Shenghuilai, he quickly stood up.
"What are you reading?"
"Are these the books that my father-in-law left behind?" Bu Feiyan asked, holding a book that had no cover at all.
Lu Sheng's expression was a little embarrassed, although after crossing over, the parents of the body had passed away. But the memory of the predecessor is still intact, Lu Sheng flipped through it when he was okay at the beginning, and now, the memories between the two Lu Sheng have been completely integrated.
Daddy's book Lu Sheng has read before, in addition to some must-read imperial examination books in this era, there are more Fengyue. Well...... The scholar is amorous and romantic, but there are mythical beasts in the family, and the only way to do it is to watch a film to relieve the wind and moon, and he is obscene.
After my father died, those useful books were basically taken by Lu Sheng to the capital to catch the exam, and on the way back, they were hit into the river by the big waves.
The reason why these useless books were not thrown away directly was also because they were Daddy's relics. Now that he is turned out by his wife, Lu Sheng's face is a little burned.
But fortunately, Bu Feiyan seems to have just begun to turn, and he didn't see the essence of the back. In this era, it is the kind of flower group splendor, which is also written, and it will not be so direct.
So...... Lu Sheng took the book casually, opened it pretending to open it, and then closed it.
"It should be, this kind of affection between men and women will only make people lose their minds, and I haven't seen it before. After becoming an official, I don't have time to watch it. โ
"We came back in a hurry, and the people didn't prepare anything. Originally, when they saw me coming back, they said that they were going to buy vegetables and cook, but I asked them not to go, but to go to the restaurant to buy some food and come back, it should be almost there. โ
"Hmm!" Lu Sheng put the book back away, and then stuffed it back into the shelf.
"How's the interrogation?"
"The merman is just a person who has been eliminated from the world, and there is no threat to Shenzhou. The real threat is to drive them out of the sea. The sea realm may be coming back. Do you know about the sealing of the sea realm?"
Bu Feiyan looked at Lu Sheng for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "Have you forgotten, the phoenix died with the Sea Emperor, and the Phoenix was already dead when the Sea Realm was sealed." How would I know?"
"Uh......"
"The date for the return of the sea realm may not be far off. I'm going to the capital tomorrow, and you're going with me?"
Yuzhu Villa now has Lingzun in charge, so there is no need for Bu Feiyan to guard it anymore. When Lu Sheng said this, Bu Feiyan naturally nodded.
The two spent a peaceful night, and the next day, when the Sanfang Xuantianwei was still cleaning up Taihu Lake and Duan Fei was busy with some closing reports, Lu Sheng and Bu Feiyan had already flown their swords and entered the Jingzhou realm.
Around the new palace, the weather is myriad, and the new capital also has the style of a modern city.
Even the royal palace, which has always been old-fashioned, has added elements of a modern manor to its design. The height of the entire palace is staggered, and it is no longer a flat picture scroll as before.
Outside the Royal Palace, there is a sprawling complex of villas. High-rise buildings are only allowed to be built two kilometres away from the Royal Palace.
It is impossible for a high-rise building in this era to really have skyscrapers hundreds of meters high, at most only a few tens of meters. But even so, the utilization rate of land has increased several times compared with the previous capital.
Housing prices are high, rents are expensive, and houses that are several times more expensive will never be so expensive anymore, right? The real beneficiaries of urbanization and transformation are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but those middle-level who are not up or down. When the middle layer has excess profits, it will flow to the bottom.
A year has passed since the undead natural disaster, but the change in his mentality is very different. In his words, even the undead natural disaster has survived, what else is there to worry about?
Life must be happy, there is wine today and drunk today. But it's not the kind of decadent wine and drunkenness, but an optimistic, upward, self-relaxed mood.
It was not yet noon at the moment, and Ji Lin ordered the imperial meal at noon today to have a barbecue. So in the back garden, more than a dozen barbecue grills were set up, and the emperor took a group of concubines to do it themselves in the back garden.
And Ji Zheng was lying on the recliner and looking up at the sun in the sky, dim but sober. Sometimes he turned his head and looked at the joyful concubines with childlike smiles.
Ji Zheng's body is really not optimistic.
Lu Sheng and the two crossed the sky and slowly fell. Of course, this move was approved by Ji Lin.
"Lu Sheng, are you here, come, it's just baked, sit together." Qingluan Sword Immortal, quick, sit here. Ji Lin greeted Lu Sheng and his wife like an ordinary hospitable man.
Lu Sheng took Bu Feiyan to come to Ji Zheng and saluted, "Minister, see the Emperor." โ
"Lu Sheng, are you back from Chuzhou?" said Ji Zheng happily, but his words were not right.
"The minister did not come back from Chuzhou, but from Wuzhou......"
"Lanzhou, Lanzhou is good now...... I remember that Ji En was sealed in Lanzhou, is he okay?"
Lu Sheng looked at Xi Lin suspiciously, "How long has the Emperor been in this state?"
"Ever since the Scourge of the Dead, my father's mind has not been a little clear. Sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's not knowing what he's talking about. And many times the memory is confused.
It's like this morning, when I just woke up, I called my father. The eunuch who was waiting said that the old prince had died, and he didn't want to be scolded by him, saying that I was not dead, how could Shen Ruoxu die?
Ay...... Gu Tai saw it, and bluntly said that his father should not be able to arrive next year. โ
"It is normal for people to be born, old, sick and die, and you don't have to be too entangled. At least the emperor lived up to the world and deserved the common people. โ
"It's hard to accept at first, but after a long time, it's okay to accept it. When you came back from Wuzhou, how did you investigate the merman's affairs? Do they want to go to war?"
"They are just a group of lost dogs, and they are not worthy of war!" Lu Sheng picked up the barbecue handed by Ji Lin and ate it slowly, "Back then, Emperor Yu cast Jiuding to seal the sea realm, but because of the mermaid and the human alliance, they were not sealed together.
The reason why there has been no legend of a merman for tens of thousands of years is because the life of a merman in these 40,000 years is too comfortable, and he doesn't want to come out at all when he is stuck at the bottom of the sea.
But just a year ago, ten thousand-footed ghost crows escaped from the seal, the one I killed in the East China Sea. The mermaids are like those who were killed by those beasts and almost became extinct.
The merman who escaped back to his life came ashore, which caused those turmoil in Shanghai. They have been killed by all the ministers hiding in the Taihu Lake, and even if there are sharks, it should be no longer possible.
As for the East China Sea Army on Yanluo Island, they were completely annihilated by the shark sneak attack, and only then did they report the three conflicts before and after. But later, these 30,000 mermaids also died in the mouth of the thousand-legged ghost Wu, so the case can be closed. โ
"You say...... Are there ten of those sea beasts?" asked Ji Lin in an instant, grasping the point.
"yes!"
"If the remaining nine invade Shenzhou, will they be able to withstand it?" asked Shan Lin worriedly.
"The strength of an ancient giant beast is also in the middle or late stage of the Immortal Mirror. There are also seven of our Immortal Mirror masters in Shenzhou, and if they don't go ashore together in the same place, it won't be too difficult to kill them. Even if it is together, it is ninety percent sure that they will be killed with the power of my divine state. โ
"Is that so?" Ji Lin's face relaxed, "Then why was the merman race killed by these ten giant beasts?"
"Can I call them rubbish?"
"That's too wasteful, isn't it?"
"But these are small problems, the real problem is ...... The appearance of those few desolate beasts meant that the seal of the Sea Realm had been loosened. The war of 40,000 years ago seems to continue. โ
"Poofโ"
"Boom-"
Ji Lin squirted out a sip of wine, and the charcoal fire in front of him instantly ignited a raging fire. Ji Lin turned his face sideways and looked at Lu Sheng with a confused face, "Can you finish the words in one breath?"
"That's it!"
"Then what should I do? How strong is the sea realm? Is there any certainty of winning?"
"I don't know how strong the sea realm is, it's still in the process of being sealed. Records of the sea boundary are almost extinct, and they are not found at all. โ
"What then?"
"The soldiers will block, and the water will bury the earth. At present, Dayu Shenzhou has no foreign enemies to covet, and it is enough to stabilize the people with Xuantian Mansion. So I propose that Dayu's soldiers be redeployed along the coastline.
The biggest threat in the future is still in the sea realm, and even if the army's military formation cannot kill the enemy, it can still intercept one or two. There is also to encourage the Dayu martial arts, the rivers and lakes martial arts to guard the sea area, if there is a discovery of the invasion of the sea can also help evacuate the people in time.
And then there's ...... The sea is closed, and foreign trade is either taken by land or stopped. The sea is not calm, and it is very likely that there will be no return. โ
"Okay, I'll discuss this matter with a few cabinet elders. By the way, have you ever heard of the appearance of immortal mountains in Shuzhou?"
"Xianshan?Shuzhou?" Lu Sheng shook his head, "Liu Changsheng didn't say. โ
"It was delivered by the King of Shu 800 miles of urgent news the day before yesterday, saying that in the early morning of the fifth day of the ninth month, a colorful fairy mountain appeared in the middle of Shuzhou.
The fairy mountain is full of sunshine, like jasper makeup. The mountain is covered with Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass, and there are phoenixes dancing in the sky above the mountain.
The people rushed to watch, and some hurried there.
However, in less than a stick of incense, the fairy mountain disappeared in the clouds and mist. โ
"Mirage, right?" Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"Maybe, but Lu Sheng, do you think there really is that kind of immortal mountain in the world, and there is an elixir of immortality growing on the mountain? Also, that immortal mountain may be just a mirage, but maybe somewhere we don't know, it really exists?"
"Xi Lin!" Lu Sheng suddenly shouted to Xi Lin in a low voice, "You have just ascended the throne, so don't have any dreams of immortality." With your cultivation and our brother's feelings, even if I lose my skills, I will help you cultivate to the realm of immortality.
The immortal mirror has a thousand-year lifespan, which is enough for ordinary people. Immortality is something you can't worry about. โ
"I never thought about it. Ji Lin looked at Ji Zheng in the distance, "But what about my father?"
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm, and the era of belonging to the Emperor Taishang has passed. Even if I help you break through the Mirror of Imperity, a thousand years later, you will be like this, and there will be no difference. โ
Ji Lin's eyes moistened, and he gently wiped the corners of his eyes, "I understand, but the King of Shu said that there is really an immortal mountain." If...... If there really is, it shouldn't be too much to get the elixir, right?"
He also said that the Immortal Religion is the blessing of Dayu Sheji. โ
This is, outside the arch of the garden, a eunuch poked his head out, and Gonggong Liu, who was following Ji Lin, hurriedly strode forward.
"Gonggong Liu, this is sent by a Xuan Tianwei outside the palace gate, saying that it is an urgent report from Lu Fujun in Shuzhou. โ
