Chapter Ninety-Three: On the Present

Qiu Si looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "Do you want to go to the Witch Sect Ancestral Court?"

Xiao Yu nodded yes.

Qiu Si looked down at the Great Sun Seal Wheel in his hand, and said: "The Ancestral Court of the Witch Sect is not so easy to enter, after all, it is the residence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, since the fall of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Witch Sect has been declining day by day, and the Witch Sect has dominated the cultivation world for many years, and there are countless treasures in the Witch Sect, attracting countless peeps. After the mountain was closed, the Witch Sect Ancestral Court had become a place where people could not enter and exit. Moreover, in the more than 1,000 years that followed, the descendants of the Witch Sect continued to strengthen the seal, and in terms of vitality alone, even the portal of the Taoist Sect was nothing more than that. ”

Xiao Yu gently rubbed the ebony staff in his hand, his face was a little solemn, although he was a cultivator, he was not a person in the cultivation world, and he could be said to know nothing about all kinds of secrets in the cultivation world. In this way, the Ancestral Court of the Witch Sect is the largest cave left by the ancestors.

Xiao Yu raised his head and looked at Qiu Si, "Is there nothing that can be done?"

Qiu Si said bluntly: "Naturally, there is a way, in the past four hundred years, the witch sect has declined again and again, and even a master of the Freedom Realm can't take it out, and relying on the blessing and sealing of a cultivator in the Heavenly and Human Realm alone is already a drop in the bucket." Moreover, the witch cult is more than domineering, but it does not have the endless wonder of Taoist supernatural powers, and after this thousand years of escape, it is not too much to maintain the vitality of the mountain. On the fifteenth day of August every year, the portal to the Ancestral Court of the Witchcraft is briefly opened overnight. ”

Xiao Yu's brows furrowed, "August 15, today is the sixth day of the seventh month, which means that there are still forty days to go." In this way, after forty days, the Witch Sect's ancestral court Qi Mountain will not be overcrowded. ”

Qiu Si shook his head and said, "Although the seal of the Witch Sect Ancestral Court will be weakened for a short time on this day, if the Heavenly and Human Realm enters it, it will still provoke the backlash of the seal, so the peak of frost is already the limit." Moreover, the witch cult has been closed for thousands of years, no one knows what is inside, and there is only one night, and there are not many people who can enter the treasure mountain and return. ”

Xiao Yu groaned, "Maybe I can give it a try." ”

Qiu Si disagreed: "You are not a loose cultivator with nothing, whether it is the cultivation of the Fa or the secret arts, you have everything, now that the grassland is settled, it is a good foundation, as the saying goes, the son of a daughter does not sit in the hall, why should you take risks in person?"

Xiao Yu let go of the ebony staff he had been holding, crossed his ten fingers on his lower abdomen, and said calmly: "Because I feel that my cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, whether it is the pupils, or the haoran qi, or even the exercises of the Tao, Buddha, and demons, they have had little effect during this time. ”

Qiu Si's expression was a little complicated, and said: "It's that you used to go too fast, others have to walk for twenty years, and you can finish it in one year, so it's not that you are slower now, but that you were too fast before, and it is a hurdle to walk on frost to heaven and man, and some people may not be able to take this step in their lifetime, you are too anxious." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "If I practice step by step, I will definitely be able to step into the realm of heaven and man within ten years, but I lack the most time." Now I have a witchcraft inheritance, but it is mostly strange and obscene skills, which are not beneficial to practice, what I want is the legacy of the ancient ancestors. ”

Qiu Si smiled bitterly: "I really don't know whether to say that you are ambitious or ambitious." ”

Xiao Yu laughed to himself, "I've always been doing what I think I should do. ”

Xiao Yu glanced at the sky and asked, "Don't talk about this, the matter outside should be almost over, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Qiu Si smiled: "This is not bad, except for the fact that I came to the royal court with my master when I was a child, I haven't been here for many years." ”

The two said that they would leave, and when Xiao Yu changed into an ordinary robe, they walked out of the Zhenbei Palace, which still smelled of blood.

Truckloads of corpses have solidified and dried up blood stains are still telling about last night's massacre, at this time the city ban is much stricter than usual, from time to time you can see several waves of fish that slipped through the net being killed by Xiao Yu's cavalry on the street, as for whether these fish that slipped through the net can escape from the ascension, it is not Xiao Yu knows.

Xiao Yu really hopes that in a few years, he can still see those people who come to him for revenge, at least it means that he will not die early.

Qiu Si didn't dress up as a layman, but changed into an ordinary robe, which also confirmed the saying that the Jingchai cloth skirt is also difficult to hide.

Xiao Yu walked forward with his hands in his hands, looking at the demeanor and movements, he couldn't see that he was the "devil" who single-handedly directed the tragedy of the royal court.

Walking out of the "bloody land" of the palace, Qiu Si smiled and said, "Xiao Concubine, I wonder if Senior Xiao Lie will regret letting you go to the grassland?"

Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Xiao Lie won't regret it, this is his calculation, but Emperor Zheng is going to regret it." ”

Qiu Si was stunned.

Obviously, there is some confusion about Xiao Yu's words.

Xiao Yu explained with a smile: "Qiu Si, you are a person in the cultivation world, I'm afraid you don't understand the twists and turns in the world, Xiao Lie is the first person in the world, naturally he is a worldly person, in the world, cultivation is only secondary." The calculation of one's own power is the foundation of one's life. This time, it was Xiao Lie who calculated Emperor Zheng once, which made Emperor Zheng suffer a dumb loss. However, Emperor Zheng will not consider himself unlucky, Xu Lin's 230,000 iron horses are the capital of Emperor Zheng to fight back. ”

Qiu Si pondered for a while and asked: "I have been to the Eastern Capital, and what I feel the most in the Eastern Capital is that among the five major governors, the most powerful one is not Zhang Qing, the head of the five major governors, nor Qin Zheng, the governor of the Eastern Capital, but Xiao Lie, the governor of the secret guard, speaking of which, Xiao Lie is still the brother-in-law of Emperor Zheng. You and Emperor Zheng are still relatives. ”

Xiao Yu sneered: "The heavenly family has no family affection, and all my own sons can be killed, not to mention that I am a relative who can't beat the eight poles? And the master of Confucianism once said, heaven, earth, king, parent, teacher, first monarch and then parent, Emperor Zheng is the king, I am the minister, and the emperor of later generations added another article, the king called the minister to die, the minister had to die, if he did not die, he would be disloyal." Isn't that forcing me to be a thief?"

Qiu Si sighed and said, "It is said that cultivators are ruthless, but they are really not as good as the emperor's family. ”

Xiao Yu laughed at himself: "Not only the emperor's family, but also the thousand-year-old family, the higher the status, the more difficult it is to write this love word." ”

Qiu Si suddenly said: "What about Lin Yuan Khan? Her Royal Highness the princess can have today's heart, but she relies on the protection of the Great Khan for many years. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned again, and then smiled: "The powerful also have compassion, and the common people may not always be good. Lin Yuan is a good father to Lin Yinping and a hero to the grassland, but what about Da Zheng?"

Qiu Si was thoughtful.

Qiu Si and Xiao Yu walked slowly along the main axis of the royal court.

At this time, a young Taoist in Tsing Yi entered the city with a head in his hand.
