Chapter 13: The Heart of Covetousness
The sky is clear and the clouds are blooming.
Yujing City.
In the Prince's East Palace directly east of the imperial city.
A person with a jade crown on his head and a few strands of red gold flowers on the crown sat on a chair in the depths of the palace, and between the eyebrows of the heavenly court, there was a purple air flow shrouded all the time, like smoke and fog, giving people an incomparably mysterious nobility.
If there is a Taoist master who is good at looking at qi, he will know that this person's life is unspeakably precious.
This person does not have the slightest dilapidated appearance on his body, and some of them seem to have a charm of "purple qi coming from the east".
This person is Yang Yuan, the crown prince of Daqian, who is now thirty-five years old, and he has already passed the age of his establishment.
But because Emperor Yang Pan was still in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, the prince had to live in seclusion in the East Palace, and he usually did not show up, nor did he supervise the country, but hibernated silently in the East Palace.
In the face of a powerful father, and this father may have to sit on the throne for a long time, the crown prince wants to ascend the throne, it may be decades, or even thirty or fifty years.
The prince naturally will not be satisfied with the status quo and will stay up honestly.
In the face of the national social artifact, the supreme emperor's position, what is the relationship between father and son.
Moreover, the position of the crown prince may not be as stable as Mount Tai.
The heavenly family is ruthless, there are so many brothers, and there are many princes who have the strength to compete with the crown prince for the throne.
For example, Prince Jade, such as Prince He.
For example, "Champion Hou", you must know that "Champion Hou" is the illegitimate son of Emperor Qian.
Maybe one day, if Emperor Qiandi is unhappy, his position as crown prince will be lost.
At this time, Yang Yuan, the prince of the Great Qian, was sitting in the palace, wearing a wide brocade robe, and his hands were on the armrests of the chair, which seemed to have a momentum of controlling the country.
The prince sat firmly, his eyelids drooping, as if he didn't think about anything, and did nothing, and in the empty hall, there was not a single eunuch waiting, and there were guards, palace maids.
Because these palace maids, eunuchs, and guards all know that the prince is thinking about things at this time, and he must not be disturbed.
After a long time, suddenly, a slight nasal voice snorted from the prince's nose, and the whole hall suddenly became slightly dark.
Then, in the center of the main hall, a woman appeared.
This woman was white, her clothes fluttering, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a pair of pale white cloud shoes under her feet, and her hands behind her back.
"Wusheng, why is it here?"
As soon as the prince saw this woman appear, his eyes were raised, and there was a strange look in his eternal eyes.
"Hong Xuanji was abandoned by Qingyunzi of Qingyun Dao, and escaped from Yujing City in a gloomy manner, I don't know what you think of this Qingyunzi."
The woman who is called "lifeless", between her words, calls the prince as you.
There is not the slightest awe in the title, which shows that the identity is very special.
"Hong Xuanji is my master, I know how powerful he is, although his Dao heart was broken back then, he is also a peak martial saint, and although he was seriously injured by the Qingyunzi of Qingyun Dao, he is now a blessing in disguise, and he has broken through the threshold of life and death and reached the realm of human immortals!"
"If it weren't for Hong Xuanji's Dao heart being broken back then, he would have achieved such an achievement twenty years ago...... This time, it was because of this Qingyunzi's sudden disturbance that Hong Xuanji had a breakthrough, and this Hong Xuanji was really admirable. ”
"However, that Qingyunzi seems to be more worthy of my attention."
The prince smiled indifferently and said softly.
The hall was very quiet, and although the prince's voice was not high, it was still heard far away in the hall.
Wusheng frowned and said: "I didn't expect Hong Xuanji to have broken through the human immortal, no wonder he disappeared as soon as he came out of the Jade Capital City, no one knows where he went, it turns out that he has broken through the human immortal!" ”
"The way of immortals, the entrance of life and death, the bridge of heaven and earth, I didn't expect Hong Xuanji to suffer such a catastrophe, but he still became a human immortal!"
"One know-how, all know-how, it will be even more difficult to deal with Hong Xuanji in the future."
When the prince heard this, he just smiled slightly, and said, "No matter how he breaks through, he may not be Qingyunzi's opponent." ”
Wusheng was puzzled: "What is the origin of this Qingyunzi?" It is rumored that Qingyun Dao and Vacuum Dao and Lifeless Dao come from the same source, could it be that this Qingyunzi is really recruited by you? “
When the prince heard this, he kept his mouth shut, and changed the topic: "Let's not talk about Qingyunzi's affairs for the time being, the most important thing at the moment is the development of the teaching affairs of the Vacuum Dao and the Lifeless Dao in Zhongzhou. ”
Wusheng heard that the prince deliberately changed the topic, but frowned, and did not continue to ask, but said: "After you ascend the throne, the two major religions of Vacuum Dao and Wusheng Dao will definitely be abolished, even if you don't ascend the throne, after our supernatural powers are completed, they will be abolished. ”
"But what about this Qingyun Dao?"
"Qingyun Dao's range in the Jade Capital City, could it be that this is another move you played?"
Wusheng naturally pulled this topic back.
Apparently she wanted to know the truth of the matter.
A superlative master at the peak of an immortal, but no one knows where he comes from, which makes her quite worried.
This Wusheng, her full name is Crane Wusheng, she is nominally a saint of the Dao of Lifeless, but in fact she is an elder of the Taishang Dao.
This time, she came to find the prince in order to find out the truth of the prince.
The two major cults of the Void Dao and the Vacuum Dao were secretly developed by the prince.
Now there is another Qingyun Road.
And it is rumored that this Qingyun Dao and the Lifeless Dao and the Vacuum Dao come from the same source.
It's hard to tell the truth from the fake.
Although He Wusheng knew that the prince coveted her beauty, she was not very clear about the prince's heart.
For example, now, as soon as she asked about Qingyun Dao, the prince talked about him and deliberately covered it up.
This made He Wusheng even more confused, but in his heart, he believed that this Qingyun Dao really had something to do with the prince.
If this is the case, then the prince will have a person who is at the peak of immortals and a superb master as a backer.
When the prince heard He Wusheng's words, he just said indifferently: "I can't tell you about Qingyun Dao for the time being. ”
When He Wusheng heard this, he pretended to be a little unhappy, shook his hand, his face was quite ugly, and said, "Does the prince regard me as an outsider?" ”
When the prince heard this, he smiled and said, "Wusheng is serious, don't you know my heart for you?" ”
"It's just that this Qingyunzi matter involves my follow-up key step, and the stakes are naturally as few people as possible."
"No life, I can learn from your heart, the sun and the moon can be expressed, if the future can be accomplished, I will naturally accept you as a concubine, and then abolish the queen, embrace you as the queen, you can also be the mother of the world, the two of us may not and cannot follow the ancient holy emperor, double cultivation of eternal life, riding a dragon to ascend to heaven, and traveling too empty."
He Wusheng listened, but it was not good to ask too much, so he had to soften his attitude and said softly: "It's good that you have this heart, but I'm afraid that you will leave me behind when the time comes." ”
When the prince heard this, he grabbed He Wusheng's hand in his hand, he patted the back of He Wusheng's hand, and then said: "Don't worry, Wusheng, no, your position in my heart cannot be replaced by anyone." “
Although He Wusheng didn't believe the prince's nonsense at all, he made a clear appearance on his face.
"I understand, since that's the case, then when you feel that the time is right, tell me about Qingyun Dao."
As he spoke, Crane Wusheng naturally pulled out the hand that the prince had pinched.
The prince let out a long breath, and the air flow in the cold air of the hall actually condensed into a white mist, which did not disperse for a long time, like a faint ink landscape painting, forming all kinds of shadows.
"Zhongzhou's teaching affairs still have to be supervised by Wusheng, I won't keep you, and when the big thing is done, I will have a good time with Wusheng."
He Wusheng frowned slightly, and only said, "Okay then, I'll go first." ”
With that, Crane Wusheng's body stepped in the direction of the entrance of the main hall, and his figure disappeared, as if he had left directly from the void.
Just as Crane Wusheng had just left, the prince stood up directly, he looked at the back of Crane Wusheng who had disappeared, and a trace of purple light flashed in his eyes.
Against the backdrop of that purple light, the prince saw the crane Wusheng covered in mist and flying towards the sky beyond the main hall.
The mist should be a means of confusing people's eyes, similar to a spell like a blinding technique.
As long as a person is wrapped, he disappears from sight.
The prince looked at the back of the crane Wusheng leaving, and muttered: "Crane Wusheng, little crane, you are really anxious, but you may not dream of it, this prince does not know the roots and feet of the Qingyunzi, and the appearance of the Qingyunzi is a good thing to directly stir up the muddy waters of this jade capital." “
At this moment, from the side of the main hall, an old woman with a cane came out, this person was not a bystander, but a childless old mother.
The leader of the lifeless Tao has no birth mother!
Although the lifeless old mother did not cultivate into a ghost immortal, she cultivated into the incarnation of the Seven Great Doumu Xuanling True Gods, which is extremely powerful, and the power of each incarnation is comparable to the power of a ghost immortal's divine soul!
Even if it's a real ghost immortal, it's not the opponent of this lifeless old mother!
But this childless mother is the prince's subordinate!
"Prince, Wusheng has been under my door for several years, although she was selected by me to be the Holy Maiden of Wushengdao, but her true identity is doubtful to the old body."
"The prince is interesting to her, and she still has to know her true identity."
The childless mother said quietly.
"Isn't it the elder of the Supreme Dao?"
"This prince has known her identity for a long time, this time I am afraid that Su Mu, the saint of the Supreme Dao, sent her to inquire about the tone of this prince."
"It seems that dragging Qingyunzi into the water this time is not without effect, at least even Su Mu has some doubts that this Qingyunzi is the backer of this prince."
"Fiction is real, fiction is real, reality is virtual, this trick already has some flavor."
"The Taishang Dao is high up, and he doesn't look at the secular imperial power in his eyes, but in the face of a superlative master at the peak of a person's immortals, the Taishang Dao doesn't dare to easily touch its edge."
"Su Mu is just a ghost immortal who has not transitioned to a thunder tribulation, even the master of this prince, Hong Xuanji, can strangle Su Mu, not to mention Qingyunzi, who is at the peak of human immortals."
The prince sat down on the chair again, gently tapped the arm of the chair with one hand, and whispered.
"The crown prince Shengming, he has come up with such a good way to pull the tiger's skin, but after all, that Qingyunzi is a super master at the peak of human immortals, if he knows that the prince is using his reputation like this, I am afraid it will make him unhappy."
"Judging from this person's style of acting, he is also a figure who does not take secular imperial power in his eyes."
"This person is arrogant in the Qingyun Dao Mountain Gate outside the Jade Capital City, and he has also thrown out a method of refining qi that is completely different from the two major cultivation methods in the world."
"I'm afraid this person's appetite is big, big."
"Compared to the Vacuum Dharma King of the Vacuum Dao, the threat of this Qingyunzi is much greater."
"We don't have the strength to provoke him for the time being."
The childless mother analyzed on the side.
The prince's gaze fell outside the main hall, and his gaze was extremely profound, and he could only hear him say: "It's okay, since he came to the Jade Capital City to create the Dao system, it means that there is something in this Jade Capital City that can enter his eyes, and since he has established the Dao system, it is not invulnerable." ”
"Although he didn't kill Hong Xuanji with his own hands, Hong Xuanji was seriously injured by him because he abolished one of his arms, and the enmity between the two is already endless."
"When Hong Xuanji returns, he will definitely go to find this Qingyunzi trouble."
"And Hong Xuanji is my father's right-hand man, the minister of the humerus, and I still know my father's temperament."
"The reason why he doesn't attack Qingyunzi right now, and sits and watches Qingyunzi start a sect in Xishan and make trouble with the wind and rain is because his father and the emperor are not sure that he can deal with such a superb master at the peak of human immortals."
"If one day, my father and his old man have his hands free, he will definitely help Hong Xuanji to kill Qingyunzi!"
"After all, Qingyunzi's Qingyun Dao is very likely to become the second Taishang Dao!"
"There is already a Taishang Dao in this world!"
"Father Emperor definitely doesn't want a second Taishang Dao to appear!"
"Although Qingyunzi and his father have not yet met, the two will eventually fight each other, and they will definitely not stop if they don't fight to the death."
"But if Qingyunzi can help me, then for Qingyunzi's Qingyundao, there is only good and no harm."
"This prince can promise him that after this prince ascends the throne, he will establish Qingyun Dao as the state religion of Daqian! He Qingyunzi is the first person in my world! ”
"This prince believes that since he has come to Yujing City to establish a Taoist system, he will definitely ask for something."
"If he is really too forgetful with that Taishang Dao, why should he open a mountain in Yujing City, find a mountain with a mountain, and create a Taoist system like Taishang Dao, isn't it the same?"
"The prince's hole cards can be shown to him!"
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger, and if you can't give up the child and can't trap the wolf, this Qingyunzi prince must take it!"
"As long as he agrees to help this prince, this prince can do great things!"
"When the time comes, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he can also borrow the hand of Qingyunzi to eradicate the Taishang Dao!"
"Oneiroi is powerful, but Qingyunzi is not bad."
"It's best for these two people to fight to the death at that time, and in the end, the prince will reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
The prince sat in his chair with a smile on his face and a look of great confidence, as if he was only one step away from success, and he was planning thousands of miles away, and everything was under his control.
