Chapter 508: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
"Your Majesty~"
Seeing that Di Xin had finally calmed down his anger, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes. She gently grabbed Di Xin's arm and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is wise, such a decision will definitely stabilize the morale of the army and turn things around." β
Di Xin was touched by her tenderness, and the anger and anxiety in his heart gradually subsided. He looked down at Daji, only to see her eyes fluttering, her face like a peach blossom, and she was unbelievably beautiful.
In this tense atmosphere, Daji's beauty is undoubtedly the best antidote.
"Daji, with you by my side, my mood can always be calmed down a lot." Tisin's voice softened considerably, and his hand gently stroked Daji's hair.
Daji snuggled in Di Xin's arms and said softly: "Your Majesty has worked hard, and it is the duty of the concubine to share your worries and sorrows for you here." β
Her fingers gently circled around Di Sin's chest, and every movement was full of temptation. Dixin's breathing grew rapid, and his sanity began to blur under Daji's gentle onslaught.
The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became ambiguous, and all the civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at this scene. They all knew that once Di Xin indulged in Daji's beauty, he would leave state affairs behind, which was not a good thing for the Great Shang Dynasty, but few people dared to speak out.
Those who dare to do this have already been burned alive by the torture of cannon burning.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Da Ji proposed softly: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that several exotic spices have been newly introduced in the harem, which are said to be able to soothe the mind, why don't Your Majesty go to the harem with the concubine to rest for a while?" β
Di Xin was intrigued by her words, and his heart was indeed tired, so he nodded in agreement. He got up, helped Daji, and walked slowly in the direction of the harem.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials had their own thoughts in their hearts, but no one dared to say more. They knew that at this time, Di Xin was completely immersed in Daji's beauty, and any advice would be useless.
Yu Yuanpan sat on a dangerous peak in the Penglai Holy Realm, facing the rising sun, holding a simple bronze treasure mirror in his hand. The brilliance in the mirror flows, reflecting the scenes of the distant Chao Song. Bai Ling's voice came from the mirror, cold and distant, but it was like a whisper in the ear.
"It's great that you're okay, Childe!"
"What is the current situation of Chaoge now?" Yu Yuan's voice asked calmly.
"Everything is as usual, Di Xin is still obsessed with the beauty of Daji, and the government is becoming deserted. However, a few loyal ministers are still working behind the scenes to try to salvage the situation. There was a hint of helplessness in Bai Ling's words.
Yu Yuan nodded, and was about to continue asking, when suddenly a firelight swept through the valley, and the figure of the water and fire boy appeared in front of him. The boy was dressed in red, and his face was immature, with a look of joy that could not be concealed.
Ever since the Heavenly Sect Master returned from the Netherworld, he, a boy serving in the Biyou Palace, noticed the difference for the first time - it was not the grumpy and irritable old man who came back, but the unrestrained and bold old man who used to be!
"Deputy Sect Master, my lord, please come over." The voice of the water and fire boy was crisp, and there was a happy smile on his face.
Yu Yuan looked at the bronze treasure mirror and said to Bai Ling: "I have something important, please pay attention to safety in Chaoge, don't get too close to Na Su Daji, just let your subordinates collect information from her." β
Bai Ling smiled and said: "Thank you Gongzi for your concern, the slave family will protect themselves." β
Yu Yuan nodded, then put away the bronze treasure mirror, and followed the water and fire boy through the clouds and mist of Penglai to the Biyou Palace on the Zizhi Cliff. This is the cultivation place of the Tongtian Sect Master, the clouds are swirling, the cranes are flying, and there is a fairy atmosphere.
Yu Yuan walked up the palace steps and walked into the palace, only to see the Tongtian Sect Master sitting upright on the jade throne, with a tall posture and extraordinary bearing. Behind him, nine-colored auspicious clouds were swirling, and the treasure light was flickering, making people dare not look directly.
Yu Yuan took a few steps forward and bowed: "Disciple Yu Yuan, meet the ancestor." β
The Tongtian Sect Master's gaze fell on Yu Yuan, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, with an imperceptible gratitude in his voice: "Yu Yuan, this time it's really thanks to you." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to return to my roots. β
Hearing the thanks of the Tongtian Sect Master, Yu Yuan raised his head and said with a firm gaze: "Master, the disciple has gone through many hardships and dangers, day and night, just to find a way to help you return to your roots, I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles you have encountered along the way, and I have almost lost my life a few times......
Speaking of this, Yu Yuan's eyes showed imperceptible tiredness, and then he changed his words, looked at the Tongtian Sect Master with anticipation and said, "Master, you see that I am working so hard, should you also say something?" β
The Tongtian Sect Master listened to Yu Yuan's narration, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.
Although what this disciple said is suspected of exaggeration, but this journey is indeed dangerous and abnormal, if it weren't for his wit and extraordinary, I am afraid that his soul would have been scattered.
He smiled lightly, with a hint of ridicule in his smile: "Okay, okay, what do you want?" Just open your mouth today, as long as I have the treasure here, whatever you want, I will satisfy you. β
When Yu Yuan heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes. He knew that with the dignity of the saint of the Tongtian Sect Master, the treasures on his body were among the best existences, especially the four swords of the Immortal were even more powerful.
If I can get some rewards from him, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to my future practice. But he didn't rush to speak, but pondered for a moment, as if weighing something.
In the end, Yu Yuan raised his head and looked firm: "Master, I don't ask for anything else, I just hope to get some guidance-how to achieve sanctification?" I would be grateful if my master could guide me in the way of sanctification. β
When the Tongtian Sect Master heard this, his eyes flashed.
He nodded, and then waved his hand, and suddenly countless immortal grass spirit fruits flew out from all corners of the palace, converging into a brilliant brilliance, floating towards Yu Yuan.
"Okay, you can look at the distribution of these heavenly treasures by yourself, and let me think about it and then talk to you in detail." The voice of the Tongtian Sect Master carried undoubted majesty, and at the same time, it also revealed his doting on his disciples.
Yu Yuan was excited in his heart, and hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Thank you for your generous gift." β
The Tongtian Sect Master nodded with satisfaction, he knew that this disciple was not simple.
He smiled slightly, then said no more, closed his eyes and pondered, as if he had begun to prepare for Yu Yuan's upcoming guidance.
Yu Yuan stood aside, secretly thinking about how to use these natural treasures.
Although these treasures are of little use to him, they are very important to Huo Ling'er and Wen Zhong.
After some words, the Tongtian Sect Master suddenly changed the topic, directly waved his hand and summoned a delicate and elegant chessboard, and said lightly: "Yu Yuan, we haven't played against each other for a long time. It's better to have a game today. β
Yu Yuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the Tongtian Sect Master would propose a game at this time, but he quickly reacted, which may have hidden the deep meaning of the ancestor. He walked to the chessboard and said respectfully, "The disciple is willing to be taught." β
On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces lie there quietly, as if waiting for the fierce confrontation between the two. The Tongtian Sect Master picked up a sunspot, gently landed in the center of the chessboard, and said, "You and I play against each other, you don't have to stick to the routine, how to be happy." β
Yu Yuan nodded, he picked up a white piece and landed steadily on the chessboard.
The chess game unfolded slowly, the chess styles of the two were very different, the master of the Tongtian Sect had a grand chess style, and each son contained far-reaching intentions; And Yu Yuan was calm and calm, step by step, trying to find a flaw in the overall situation of Shizu.
As the game progresses, the battles on the board become more and more intense. Between black and white, the offense and defense are switched, and you come and go, just like a real battlefield. Every confrontation seemed to hint at the struggle and contest in the Heavenly Dao.
After the Tongtian Sect Master gave birth to a son, he looked up at Yu Yuan, with a bit of deep meaning in his eyes: "Yu Yuan, do you know that even if you are a meritorious saint, you are not truly free. Above the Heavenly Dao, there are higher rules and constraints. β
The white son in Yu Yuan's hand hung in the air, his eyes were solemn, and he understood the weight of his ancestor's words in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and said, "The meaning of the master, the disciple understands." Under the way of heaven, all living beings are chess pieces, and even saints cannot escape a game. β
The Tongtian Sect Master nodded, his fingers lightly tapping the chessboard, and his voice was low: "Yes, each of us is looking for our own place and path in this big game of chess. β
The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard are staggered, and with the game between the two sides, an intricate pattern is gradually formed, as if it is the intersection of yin and yang between heaven and earth, and the Tao is natural.
The Tongtian Sect Master pointed to the chessboard and spoke, with a hint of depth in his voice: "Although becoming a meritorious saint can master a part of the power of the Heavenly Dao, it does not mean complete freedom. β
The chess pieces in Yu Yuan's hand paused, he looked up at the Tongtian Sect Master, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What does the master mean by this?" β
The Tongtian Sect Master pointed to the chessboard: "Look at this chess game, although the chess pieces can walk freely on the chessboard, in fact, every move is restricted by the chessboard. To become a meritorious saint, you can indeed use the power of the Heavenly Dao, but your actions will also be restricted by the Heavenly Dao. β
Yu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, he seemed to have understood.
At this moment, the words of the Tongtian Sect Master exploded in his ears like thunder, interrupting his thoughts.
"The reason why Zixiao Palace issued a decree this time to eradicate you as an extraterritorial demon is because there is something wrong with the Heavenly Dao. When I went to Zixiao Palace this time, what I saw was not Hongjun Dao Ancestor. The Tongtian Sect Master's voice was heavy, and his eyes flashed with a bit of worry that could not be concealed.
Yu Yuan was shocked in his heart, but he quickly calmed down, because he already had such a premonition in his heart. All the previous signs are silently revealing this possibility.
He looked up at the Tongtian Sect Master, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "So, who is that false Dao Ancestor in the Zixiao Palace?" Why do you want to pretend to be Hongjun Dao Ancestor? β
The Tongtian Sect Master sighed, and the divine light in his eyes became profound: "I don't know his true identity either, but what is certain is that his cultivation is not trivial, and even in some aspects, he is not inferior to the Dao Ancestor himself. He disguised himself as a Dao Ancestor and stole the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and there must be a deep meaning in it, which was a huge threat to the entire Three Realms. β
Yu Yuan was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "So, what should we do now?" β
The Tongtian Sect Master's gaze was like a torch, and a trace of sharpness flashed: "The most important thing now is to find out his true purpose and what the consequences of what he has done to the Heavenly Dao. I need to discuss this matter with several other saints, and you will be fully responsible for the canonization of gods. β
Yu Yuan's heart froze, he did not hesitate at all, and replied firmly: "Master Ancestor, rest assured, the disciple will do his best." β
The Tongtian Sect Master nodded, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Yuan: "This records some of my understanding and speculation of the Heavenly Dao, as well as some secrets of the Zixiao Palace, you can take it for reference, it may be helpful for you to preach the Tao in the future." β
Yu Yuan took the jade slip with a solemn expression: "The disciple will definitely live up to the trust of the master." β
The Tongtian Sect Master looked at Yu Yuan's back, and there was a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes. He knew that this disciple was about to embark on a different path than he did, and all he could do was help him as much as he could.
Yu Yuan left Biyou Palace, his heart was full of thoughts. Something went wrong with the Heavenly Dao, which meant that the entire Three Realms could face an unprecedented crisis. And he's going to face it all head-on.
He clenched the jade slip tightly, and his eyes flashed with determination.
Sanctification is imminent.
Out of Biyou Palace, Yu Yuan stood alone on Tianyuan Peak, looking at the layers of immortal mist in the distance, but the waves in his heart were difficult to calm down.
He knew very well that he didn't know when he started, and he had become a thorn in the side of that false Dao Ancestor, a thorn in his flesh, and a thorn in his heart, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him as soon as possible!
It's just that this false Dao Ancestor is sacred, and why did he attack me?
Yu Yuan muttered silently to himself in his heart.
After hearing it, he could feel that mysterious power was spying on him all the time, like a beast lurking in the shadows, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.
However, Yu Yuan also understood that if the false Dao Ancestor really had the ability to do it to him personally, he would definitely not choose such a tortuous method. Among them, there must be a secret that he doesn't know, maybe it is some kind of rule of the Heavenly Dao, or maybe it is the restraint of other saints, so that the false Dao Ancestor cannot directly take action.
Such a situation made Yu Yuan feel a little comforted, but more of a heavy pressure. He clearly knows that he is now standing on the cusp of the storm, and he must be extremely careful with every step.
"Only by becoming holy can I truly control my own destiny and not be swayed by anyone." Yu Yuan thought firmly in his heart, and his gaze became more resolute.
He knew that time was running out, and he had to seize every minute and every second to find an opportunity to preach. In this world full of uncertainties, only with enough strength can you ensure your own safety and protect everything you cherish.
Yu Yuan clenched the jade slip in his hand, which was the Tongtian Sect Master's understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and it was also an important clue to his enlightenment. He decided that from today onwards, he would retreat and cultivate, and at all costs, he would also break through the existing realm as soon as possible.
He glanced back at Biyou Palace, where was his ancestor, his reliance, and his responsibility. He will not let his master down, let alone regret it.
Yu Yuanpan sat down, this Tianyuan Peak would be the place where he would cultivate next.
He knew that he would face countless challenges and tribulations in the days to come, but he had only one goal in mind β to become holy.
As if he also felt the determination in Yu Yuan's heart, the wind and clouds were surging under the cliff, and an invisible force was quietly gathering.
Yu Yuan was closing his eyes and pondering, trying to find clues to the Tao from the jade slips given by his ancestors, when suddenly a light footstep broke the silence of the mountain peak. When he opened his eyes, he saw a red shadow floating in, it was his senior sister Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er was dancing in the mountain breeze in a fiery red dress, her eyes flashed with concern, and as soon as she saw Yu Yuan, she stepped forward quickly, her tone was full of worry: "Senior brother! You're finally back! I heard that Master Ancestor was going to kill you, and I was almost worried to death! Are you okay? β
Yu Yuan smiled slightly, this senior sister can always bring a warm current to people's hearts.
He smiled and said, "It's all gone, you don't have to worry." β
Huo Ling'er frowned, looking a little dissatisfied: "The past is over?" You're facing so many dangers alone, and I can't be there for you to help...... Now you're awesome, I'm holding you back, aren't I? No wonder I feel like we're getting farther and farther apart. β
Yu Yuan looked at Huo Ling'er's face that was slightly flushed with worry, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm. He reached out and gently patted her on the shoulder, comforting, "You think too much." Who is with whom, how can the distance be far? β
When Huo Ling'er heard this, the dissatisfaction in her eyes seemed to dissipate a little, but she still pouted, looking a little willful: "Then how do you prove that our distance has not become farther?" β
Yu Yuan thought about it, and a thought suddenly came to his heart. He has been spending time in intense cultivation and dealing with crises lately, and maybe he should really relax and adjust his mentality. He showed a bright smile to Huo Ling'er: "Senior sister, today we won't talk about cultivation or crisis, I'll accompany you to do something interestingβwhale fishing in the East China Sea, how about it?" β
Huo Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the words "whale fishing in the East China Sea", and her temperament liked novel and interesting things the most: "Really? You can't lie to me! β
Yu Yuan nodded and said seriously: "Of course it's true, let's just be lazy and relax." β
Huo Ling'er clapped her hands happily, and her laughter was as crisp as a silver bell: "Then what are we waiting for, go quickly!" β
The figures of the two quickly disappeared on Tianyuan Peak and flew in the direction of the East China Sea. On the way to the East China Sea, Huo Ling'er said some interesting things from time to time, and the crisp laughter echoed between heaven and earth, as if all the troubles were gone with the wind.
And in this laughter, Yu Yuan's mood was indeed much more relaxed.
Yu Yuan and Huo Ling'er flew above the sea of clouds and galloped towards the direction of the East China Sea Tang Valley. The clouds in the sky are as soft as cotton candy, and the sun shines through the clouds, casting a warm glow. As the two approached, the magnificent scene of the East China Sea gradually unfolded in front of them, the waves lapping against the shore with a pleasant sound, and the sea breeze with a salty and wet breath, blowing on their clothes.
They chose a cloud, not far from the sea, just overlooking the entire Yuya sea. Yu Yuan took out a spirit pill from his arms, which was an elixir he rubbed out casually, which could not only replenish the monk's true qi, but also attract spirit beasts in the sea. He tied the elixir to a thin thread condensed by spiritual power, gently threw it into the sea, and began this unique fishing.
Huo Ling'er sat next to Yu Yuan, and the two sat side by side, looking at the sparkling sea, feeling extremely comfortable. Huo Ling'er's gaze wandered over Yu Yuan from time to time, and there was indescribable joy and throbbing in her heart. She loves such moments, sharing the peace and ease with her beloved.
"Senior brother, you say, if we really catch a dragon whale, what are we going to do with it?" Huo Ling'er suddenly spoke, breaking the silence for a moment.
Yu Yuan smiled slightly and replied, "If you are really so lucky and catch a dragon whale, how about roasting it with fire?" β
"Roasted dragon whales?" Huo Ling'er's eyes lit up, flashing with a sparkling light. "Okay, okay, I haven't eaten a roast dragon whale yet."
"Then it's decided." Yu Yuanwan smiled, "Let's see which dragon whale is lucky enough to be our Fire Spirit Mother's meal today!" β
"You're going to scare the dragons and whales away if you say that!" Huo Ling'er said angrily.
Her gaze fell on Yu Yuan's face again, the tenderness in her eyes was like water, and her voice was soft: "Senior brother, do you know? I've always admired you, whether it's cultivation or facing difficulties, you always solve things with a smile.
I can't see you during this time, and I worry every day...... Until I saw you and sat next to you, I was not afraid of anything. β
Hearing this almost confessional whisper, Yu Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, turned his head to look at Huo Ling'er, and his eyes rarely showed affection: "You can always sit by my side in the future...... You won't be charged for your seat. β
The eyes of the two met in the air, Huo Ling'er's cheeks flushed slightly, she mustered up her courage and slowly approached Yu Yuan, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.
Yu Yuan felt Huo Ling'er's approach, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Finally, on this cloud, Huo Ling'er gently pressed her lips to Yu Yuan, looking for Yu Yuan's mouth a little awkwardly.
Yu Yuan was a little funny, he didn't flinch, but took out his consciousness as a veteran of the love field, responded and guided gently, and the two enjoyed their sweet moments on this quiet sea.
At this moment, the sea was suddenly turbulent, and a huge figure rushed out from under the water, which was a dragon whale. It leaps high above the surface of the sea, forming a beautiful arc, and then leisurely submerges into the sea.
"Dragon whale!"
Huo Ling'er exclaimed in surprise, removed her flushed cheeks, and tried to change the subject, "Hurry up...... Don't let it escape. β
Yu Yuan looked at Huo Ling'er's excited appearance, his heart moved, and he decided to give her an unforgettable surprise. His mind moved slightly, and he began to operate the mana in his body.
As his mana poured out like a tide, merging with the surrounding sea and white clouds, he began to slowly build a huge playground in the air.
With the continuous infusion of Yu Yuan's mana, the seawater was extracted and condensed into crystal crystals, forming slides and winding waterways. The white clouds were skillfully woven by him and turned into soft cloud beds and cloud chairs for them to rest and play.
The sea water was attracted by him, turning into water dragons, circling and flying, and the white clouds were compressed into various shapes, building wonderful amusement facilities.
The waves are crashing, the white clouds are swirling, and the whole scene is like a fairyland, beautiful.
Huo Ling'er was dumbfounded, she had never thought of such a scene.
Yu Yuan turned the waters of the East China Sea and the white clouds in the sky into a huge playground.
After realizing that these were all prepared for her, Huo Ling'er couldn't help but cheer, excitedly took Yu Yuan's hand, and jumped onto the merry-go-round made of clouds like a child.
The merry-go-round spins slowly and takes the two of them through the air, and the surrounding sea breeze and clouds accompany their laughter, creating a wonderful atmosphere.
Huo Ling'er's smile bloomed like a flower, and her happiness infected Yu Yuan, making his mood extremely relaxed and happy.
Then, Yu Yuan built a cloud ladder slide, a sea water fountain, a cloud seesaw, etc., each of which made Huo Ling'er have a lot of fun. She climbed and slid down the ladder and sprinted on the roller coaster with Yu Yuan, enjoying the special joy to the fullest.
Yu Yuan looked at Huo Ling'er's innocent smile like a child, and secretly decided in his heart that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he would protect the beauty in front of him and prevent her from being hurt in any way.
With a light sea breeze and mist, the whole playground is like a fairyland, and it is beautiful.
Yu Yuan was infected by Huo Ling'er's enthusiasm, and his nervous mind, which had been tense, also relaxed.
Together, they ride a roller coaster, sprint through the clouds at breakneck speed, and then hold hands and slide down the water ladder together. The water on the crystal slide rolled like a wave, carrying them through the air until they fell into a huge pool of cloud bubbles, splashing with water.
"Hahaha, it's fun!" Huo Ling'er smiled and leaned back, she played in the bubble pool, and splashed water on Yu Yuan from time to time.
Yu Yuan unceremoniously gave a counterattack.
The sea water was like a naughty child, constantly slapping the two of them, soaking through Huo Ling'er's clothes. The long fiery red dress hugged her body, outlining her perfect curves to the fullest. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds and shone on her body, as if she were covered with a golden glow.
Huo Ling'er didn't seem to care about the change in her clothes, and there was only joy of fun and deep affection for Yu Yuan in her eyes. She laughed and moved closer to Yu Yuan while splashing water until their bodies were almost close together.
Yu Yuan felt Huo Ling'er's body temperature and the faint fragrance on her body, and his heart throbbed. His gaze involuntarily fell on her wet clothes, then quickly moved to her expectant eyes.
The atmosphere became extremely ambiguous at this moment, and the surrounding waves and clouds seemed to become their cover, making the proximity more private.
Huo Ling'er's cheeks were stained with a blush, and she bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes revealing a mixed emotion that was both shy and expectant. Her fingers gently caressed Yu Yuan's chest, as if exploring something.
