In the mountains of the south.

I saw an old Taoist man, stroking his beard slightly.

His robe was old, and his hair was white.

Looking in the direction of the north, his expression was as usual.

"Sure enough, I still lost."

"Didn't the Heavenly Master anticipate it a long time ago?" At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the forest.

"For thousands of years, the old man has been divining countless hexagrams, and there is no mistake or omission." The old master sighed and said, "However, in fact, there are times when the old man also wants to make a mistake. ”

"Does it matter?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Of course it is." The Heavenly Master said lightly: "My hexagram is wrong, so as to prove that everything in this world is not a completely fixed number of fate, nor is it a fate that cannot be changed completely." ”

"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, under the protection of your Heavenly Master's Mansion, has become a protector." The middle-aged man said loudly: "How do you explain to the Daqian Dynasty?" ”

"What the Daqian Dynasty failed to do, it was just that the dead horse was handed over to the old man as a live horse doctor...... The old man didn't do it, so what could he do? ”

The old heavenly master spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, will you behead the old man?" ”

He said this, then looked at the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "It's about to condense the last seal of the True Xuan, faster than the old man expected." ”

"I've been in hiding for almost six hundred years."

The middle-aged man said, "I have always avoided the demons in the world, and you have to ask me to help you get rid of the demons...... This time, it's kind of giving your life to you. ”

"After the deed is done, you have your own place."

The old master said: "Otherwise, if you continue to hide, the old man is really worried, you will become the next ...... 'demon'!" ”

The middle-aged man was expressionless and said, "Aren't you very good at divination?" Whether I become a demon or not, a hexagram will be calculated. ”

"Measuring the heavenly machine is going to be counterattacked, and the old man can't count the hexagram anymore in ten years."

When the Heavenly Master said this, he said, "The demon who ate Li Yitu has escaped!" But he doesn't matter, what matters is ...... The one who ate the demon seed! ”

"That Adversary ......"

The middle-aged man was silent and said, "He is actually about to lose his 'original self' after swallowing the demon seed, and he is completely crazy!" Originally, he didn't dare to take such a risk, but it seems that there is a more powerful being who wants to eat Him......"

"That's not what an old man should do."

The old heavenly master said: "The old man went down the mountain this time, and what he wanted to kill was this guy who was very likely to become a heavenly demon!" ”

——

At the same time, in the Divine Capital.

Si Tianjian made every effort to measure the celestial phenomena.

Although Lu Wan had returned to the human world, in fact, the other six halls of the White Tiger Heavenly Palace were still fiercely competitive.

But in the midst of this, there is a piece of news coming.

"Send it to the palace."

"Understood."

This news was presented to His Majesty the Emperor.

And this old Emperor Daqian seems to be more and more depressed.

"Isn't there a way for the Heavenly Master's Mansion to do it?"

This news came from the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resisted the obsession of protecting the Tao in his heart and failed.

Among the princes today, there is no one more outstanding than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Even if there are two princes who have become the God Refining Realm, they are still over a hundred years old.

Li Shou is not the eldest prince, but he is the most outstanding prince, and he is also the orthodox bloodline, the queen's concubine.

"If he hadn't been allowed to inherit the supernatural powers, maybe he would have gone far in the realm of refining the gods today."

"I expected too much from him, and instead pushed him into the abyss."

"Thunder ...... Protector"

The Emperor fell silent, originally he was a little worried about this, but because of the past, there was no such precedent.

So he didn't know how complicated and difficult it was.

At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was given supernatural powers and knelt down to the south.

The emperor was furious, and his ministers were horrified.

Afterwards, he asked the prince to retreat and overcome the thoughts in his heart.

But it turns out that the thunder of the road protection, not its own strength, can be resisted.

So it was sent to the Heavenly Master's Mansion!

It is intended to borrow the power of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to disintegrate the thoughts in his heart and eliminate the influence of the thunder of the Dao Protector.

But he didn't expect that the Heavenly Master, who was known as the most powerful in the world, controlled the source of the Dao Law in the world...... It didn't work either.

And the last sentence of this message is the handwriting of the Heavenly Master.

"The heart of the Dao protector is as solid as a rock, inheriting the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and it has not been cracked."

There was silence for a long time.

Only then did he hear His Majesty the Emperor sigh abruptly, waved his hand, and said, "Let me be quiet." ”

Three days later, the Great Emperor finally made a decision.

Historical records: The prince died (shi), and the emperor wept.

——

The crown prince Li Shou no longer exists.

From now on, there are only Li Shoudao.

"The Daqian Dynasty will not allow a prince of the East Palace to submit to the knees of outsiders."

Li Shou looked in the direction of Shendu, sighed and said, "Otherwise, I will ascend the throne in the future, I am the emperor, or ...... Are you the emperor? ”

"Isn't the emperor known as the Son of Heaven?"

Lu Wan sighed and said, "I am heaven, you are the son of heaven, don't you have it?" ”

This joke was obviously not funny, so Li Shoudao didn't laugh, just exhaled and said, "How did you find out my identity?" ”

"I have the ability to break through delusion, and I can detect all kinds of clues and make calculations......"

When Lu Wan said this, he said: "When the high master was killed by you that day, I vaguely noticed something strange. ”

"He's seen me."

Li Shou said: "There was indeed a suspicion of murder that day, but he deserved ...... death."

And then Lu Wan asked some more about Li Shoudaoren.

"In fact, over the past dynasties, there have been many descendants in the royal family who have entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion to study the law."

Li Shou said slowly: "First, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is the first Dao Sect in the world!" Second, when I entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, I was watching every move of the Heavenly Master's Mansion from a certain level......"

"Afraid that the Heavenly Master's Mansion is reversed?" Lu Wan said with a smile.

"Sort of, after all, as an emperor, I am always afraid of a powerful force that is not under my control, especially this force, which can overthrow the dynasty!" Li Shou said: "If I can ascend the throne, I will do the same!" ”

"That's true, after all, the Heavenly Master's Mansion can support one Great Qian Dynasty, but it may not be able to support another dynasty." Lu Wan nodded.

"But the Heavenly Master's Mansion is very cooperative." Li Shou said: "To be precise, the Heavenly Masters of the past dynasties are using this to show that there is no intention of rebellion!" I've been practicing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion for ten years, and at least that's something I can confirm......"

"So, when you get started, let the Heavenly Master's Mansion take a look, and then retreat all year round...... And when you get out, it's the prince who has returned to Shendu? Lu Wan asked.

"Not bad."

Li Shou said this, looked ahead again, and said, "Is there anything else you want to ask?" ”

"Nope."

Lu Wan sighed and said, "Actually, I didn't think that I had to tie you up and be a protector...... You are a very good person, and in the future, as the emperor, you should still be good. ”

Li Shou said calmly: "If you change the prince, you may not be worse than me." ”

Lu Wan shook his head and said, "I don't know the other princes, and I don't know their character, but you're good, it's a pity." ”

Li Shou didn't reply, but just said: "The Zhenyang Palace's Mansion has fallen, and among the eight major regions in the south...... With your Xuantian view being the strongest, and now that you occupy this purple yang domain, it may not be easy to do so next. ”

"You mean, let Xuantianguan return to Kaiyang Mountain and give up all the forces that have expanded?"

"It's the best option." Li Shou said: "Si Tianjian, I have already been eyeing you. ”

"Of course I do." Lu Wan said with a smile: "The national teacher of Si Tianjian just can't get out. ”

"You already know that he is the demon tiger that ate the fifth generation of your Xuantian Temple." Li Shou said suddenly.

“……”

Lu Wan was shocked, and his eyes were full of astonishment when he looked at Li Shou.

He has always been on this matter and did not dare to say more.

It's just because the demon tiger is too powerful.

Now the demon tiger is a national teacher.

Moreover, he didn't know if the demon tiger was so powerful that he would feel it whenever he mentioned it......

Therefore, he didn't plan to tell Li Shou about it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Li Shou mentioned this matter lightly.

"You know about this?"

"The Celestial Master knows." Li Shou said: "He told me. ”

"And what about His Majesty in Shendu?" Lu Wan said solemnly.

"The Celestial Master didn't tell him." Li Shou thought for a while and said, "My father has always been unfathomable, and he has a ...... in the court Even if it is a national teacher, it is just a chess piece. ”

“……”

Lu Wan's expression was complicated, and he looked at the direction of Shendu.

I thought that the national teacher was a demon tiger, a huge secret, and a huge hidden danger.

But I didn't expect that this matter was no longer a secret.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion knew about this.

The Grand Master of the Dragon Court also knew about this.

And His Majesty of the Divine Capital, who has read the records of the "Imperial God King", seems to know most of them.

Lu Wan originally thought that if the matter of the demon tiger was known by the most powerful force in the world, then the demon tiger would definitely die.

But now it seems that the demon tiger is still like a fish in water above the court.

The forces of all parties still did not make a move against the demon tiger.

Lu Wan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Li Shou asked.

"I thought that after everyone knew about this, I would be much more relaxed, and the demon tiger would no longer be my confidant." Lu Wan said in a low voice: "But now...... Perhaps the waters of this divine capital are much deeper than I expected. ”

"Isn't the deepest water in the Divine Capital coming from my father?"

When Li Shoudao said this, he looked in the direction of Zhenyang Palace, and his expression became more and more complicated.

After a pause, I heard Li Shoudao say loudly: "There is something wrong with the palace...... I will go one day, and tomorrow I will return. ”

"Let's go."

Lu Wan suddenly spoke, turned his head to look at Kaiyang Mountain, and said, "I don't have to worry about the affairs here, it's enough to leave them to them...... Zhenyang Palace, I have an old relationship, I should always go and see it. ”

The two looked at each other.

Lu Wan sighed, and he already understood in his heart what had happened.

——

Among the contemporary Zhenyang kings, among his heirs, the most outstanding is the son Li Qing.

The old prince Li Yitu has passed away.

The contemporary king of Zhenyang, going to the divine capital, must be short in life.

Presumably, it won't be long before Li Qing will succeed the next generation of Zhenyang princes.

"This son of the world was cast thirteen years ago, and today, it is almost time to reach the realm of Dacheng."

Li Shoudao said quietly: "He is quite eloquent, more like the demeanor of the old prince!" ”

The contemporary king of Zhenyang, in the suppression of the southern mountains, is resolute and fierce, and can be called a fierce general!

But in terms of the layout of power schemes, he is relatively shallow and does not understand officialdom disputes.

A large part of the reason is also because the old prince is still there.

Compared with the upright temperament of the contemporary king of Zhenyang, this prince is more forbearing, and the city government is quite deep.

"I heard that he has changed his identity and served as the commander of the fourteenth mountain among the twenty-four mountains, and he has been tempered."

After a pause, Li Shoudao said again: "The layout of the formation of the Twenty-four Mountains Defense Line is the idea of the old prince, but it is not the contemporary prince who really implements this matter and completes the construction of the Twenty-four Mountains defense line...... It's the son! ”

"In that case, it's really talented."

Lu Wan said with emotion: "If he succeeds to the position of King Zhenyang, he may not be inferior to the old prince, at least he should be better than the contemporary King of Zhenyang......"

"So, he's dead."

Li Shoudao said calmly: "Just yesterday night, he went to the southern mountains, and early this morning, his life card was shattered, and his soul was gone!" ”

Lu Wan was silent, but there was no surprise.

"So now, are we going to mourn?"

"Naturally, I'm going to mourn." Li Shoudao said calmly: "After all, you are of the same clan as me, so what about you?" ”

"Help the old prince and leave a bloodline." Lu Wan sighed.

"It's fine."

Li Shoudao nodded slightly.

——

Zhenyang Palace.

Since the prince went to the divine capital, the prince has taken over everything in the house.

Including the concession of Si Tianjian, the active cutting of authority in all aspects, and the transfer of military power to the 24 Mountain Defense Line.

As well as the reappointment of the local governments in the Eight Great Domains, the attitude and direction towards the cultivators of the various clans and sects were formulated.

Especially the former Xuantian Temple!

The first of the four great refining forces!

The first sect in the south of Daqian!

Courteously stand!

In the early years, the palace had a deep connection with the Xuantian Temple, but then gradually faded away, until the Xuantian Temple was destroyed, and there was no help.

Later, even the fourth son, Li Mo, secretly wanted to take action against Xuantianguan with the tacit consent of the contemporary King of Zhenyang.

Until the old prince acted in secret, eased the relationship, and in the end, seemed to become somewhat close.

Originally, this was a good thing.

But now the Zhenyang Mansion is doomed to decline.

The Xuantian view is like the sun in the sky.

Then there is the gaze from the Shendu, and Si Tianjian is pressing everywhere, so he can only draw a clear line with Xuantianguan and stay away.

Otherwise, it will no longer be the end of the decline of the palace, but the end of it.

In today's situation, it is extremely good for the prince to judge the situation and make the right choice in various aspects.

Those who know the times are Junjie!

But today's Zhenyang Mansion does not need such a person.

So he died.

Even the body was not recovered.

"Right now...... What should I do? ”

Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

There are Princess Zhenyang here, there are princes, and several henchmen who have served the palace for many years.

There was silence for a moment before Li Mo spoke loudly.

"My brother did his best for my Zhenyang Palace, and now he is unfortunately killed, so he should issue an obituary, do a big job, and give him a beautiful funeral!"

“……”

The princess was silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "At the end of life, you shouldn't have wronged Qing'er, just ......"

Before the voice fell, a voice came from outside.

"Secrets are not mourned."
