Chen Zhimo stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and screamed in a low voice, and several cracks appeared on the pillar with such great strength, and the bamboo leaves fell in a flutter.

"Thank you. ”

Li Xiu stood up, the cyan lotus flower in his palm swirled and dissipated, he looked at Chen Zhimo and thanked him.

He had learned everything in the world and all the books and records on cultivation, but he had never participated in the cultivation method, so he could not practice, and naturally no one taught him.

"No thanks, a little thing, a little thing. ”

Chen Zhimo took out a towel out of nowhere and put it on his head, dragged his waist with one hand, and looked up at the sky.

"Am I just stepping into the first realm?"

Li Xiu asked.

"Count, naturally. ”

Chen Zhimo said.

Being able to cultivate is a good thing after all, no matter how fast or slow you cultivate, as long as you make progress, it is a good thing.

What's more, he did learn very quickly, and he cultivated very quickly.

Stepping into the first realm day and night, and the aura stared, like an arm, Chen Zhimo didn't know what to say, but felt that there was only one Li Xiu in the world.

I think there should be only one Li Xiu.

"The realm of cultivation is important, but there are so many differences in the path of cultivation, and I have nothing more to teach you, but first you have to be clear about what you want, in other words, what do you want to cultivate?"

Chen Zhimo put down the towel, revealing his forehead with red marks, and asked seriously.

"I don't know much about spiritual practice, but I've read a lot of books, I have a lot of ways to choose from, and I have a lot of things to like. ”

"And what do you like?"

Chen Zhimo asked.

"Playing chess, reading books, listening to operas, appreciating plum blossoms, stepping on snow, watching rain, I like everything good and bad in the world. ”

Li Xiu said.

"Then there must be a lot of things you want to fix. ”

Chen Zhimo said with a smile.

"It used to be a lot. ”

Li Xiu thought for a while, said a word, and then was silent for a long time, and continued: "But I just want to learn the sword now. ”

"Why?"

Chen Zhimo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because Xiao Bo is a sword immortal. ”

Li Xiu looked at him and said.

Chen Zhimo frowned, but he didn't understand.

Li Xiu didn't want to explain in detail, but said, "I want to prove that his sword is stronger than Xiao Boru, and it is much stronger." ”

......

Li Xiu's joining was like a big stone smashed into the surface of a lake for the academy, and a gust of wind blew directly into Chang'an City in Qianli Meiling.

At this time, Chang'an City was very lively.

Today's birthday of Concubine Yang, this woman has accompanied the first emperor all her life, she has seen the turmoil of the court with her own eyes, and she has personally experienced the darkest time period of the Tang Dynasty fourteen years ago, she has lived for a long time, a thousand years, or nine hundred years.

Concubine Yang is very old, senile, the skin on her body is dark yellow, and the age spots are all over the place, but her teeth are very neat and white, but her eyes are dim and her breath is sluggish, and she can't live too long.

But as long as they can live, no one wants to die.

So Concubine Yang was dressed very neatly and solemnly.

The birthday banquet was held in the Imperial Palace, in the Shokulin Garden.

Many people came on this day, and almost all the officials of the court and the central government arrived, but His Majesty did not come, and His Majesty has not been here since fourteen years ago.

Naturally, the queen will not come.

This is the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty's attitude is naturally the most important, and it stands to reason that the ministers should not come.

But the crown prince is here, and the most important thing is that Concubine Yang is a powerhouse in the Five Realms.

So the officials came.

No matter how strong a person is, he can't escape the erosion of the years, although Concubine Yang is a strong person in the Five Realms, but now she is in her twilight years, and she can't live for a few years, and her blood and spirit are extremely weak, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the weakest of the Five Realms.

But the Five Realms are the Five Realms, which in itself is worthy of respect.

"Chen Liuwang's son Li Xiu arrived. ”

The atmosphere of the birthday is naturally very lively, the palace maids hold Baise food in their hands, and the thousand flavors of wine shuttle through the banquet, and occasionally pass by the side of the guards will secretly stuff a few fruits, and the sergeants also quietly hide.

During the banquet, hundreds of officials and ministers greeted each other, discussing the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty and the border war, among which there were a few words about the girl in Hualou, and then caused a burst of laughter.

At this moment, the guard at the door suddenly opened his mouth and shouted inside.

It stands to reason that only officials above the third rank deserve such treatment.

Li Xiu is the son of the world, and he has no official position, but his identity is special, and the identity of the prince is different.

Therefore, it was also shouted out.

The atmosphere was quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the young man in green shirt at the door.

The young man did not dodge or dodge, his face did not change, and he walked straight to the center.

didn't speak, just raised his head and quietly looked at Concubine Yang on the first high seat.

Since he returned to Chang'an, the rumors about him have never subsided, especially recently Lao Qiao's sword splitting the heavenly gate has resounded in Kyoto, I don't know how many people have been shocked, it can really be said that although he is still honored.

Not long ago, there was a voice that Li Xiu had joined the academy and seemed to be able to start practicing again.

The academy did not deny it, and Li Xiu did not deny it.

That being the case, that's tacit.

The academy is at odds with the current Chen Liuwang Li Anzhi, Li Xiu joined the academy as a nephew, and then thinks of the rumor fourteen years ago, everything seems to be clear, just take out a needle and gently pick it out.

Moreover, all the officials in the court and the central government knew that the reason why Li Laizhi died in battle back then had a lot to do with Concubine Yang, and it was precisely because of this that His Majesty would ignore it.

Unlike the rumors that Ang Lee coveted the throne, there is definite evidence that Concubine Yang was involved in Li Laizhi's death.

Everyone knows that.

Concubine Yang looked down at Li Xiu, there was a moment of trance in her cloudy eyes, and the hand holding the cup trembled unconsciously.

Those eyes, Li Laizhi back then was that pair of eyes, the same indifferent eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became solemn, and the sound of the birthday celebration became smaller and quieter, until it disappeared.

"Your Highness. ”

A minister opened his mouth to remind.

Taiwei Qi Qin sat on the chair with his eyes closed, and the old god was there, as if he couldn't feel the scene in front of him.

"Li Xiu, come and sit with me. ”

Prince Li Xianyi beckoned at him and said.

No matter what, today is Concubine Yang's birthday banquet, hundreds of officials from the court and the central government gather together, no matter how big the matter is, no matter how big the grievance is, it will be said today, otherwise no one's face will look good.

Li Xiu didn't seem to hear it, he still looked at Concubine Yang quietly, and the atmosphere in the audience became even heavier.

For a moment, he saluted Concubine Yang, then got up and stared at the slightly cloudy eyes, with calm in his eyes, his body straightened, and said softly: "Today's concubine's birthday, this son left in a hurry, and only prepared a gift. ”

Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on the prince's face also faded.

Concubine Yang drooped her eyelids, a little funny.

"The prince prepared with his heart, and it must be a generous gift. ”

Li Xiu nodded, and his tone gradually became indifferent: "It's a generous gift, but I want to ask you to do one thing before giving a gift." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Concubine Yang's face showed a hint of interest.

"Li Xiu, please die. ”

He arched his hand and saluted again, looking solemn.

The prince stood up from his seat suddenly, and the sound of a cup shattering sounded, and all the officials in the court were shocked and got up.

The lieutenant's closed eyes finally opened a slit.

"I have lived for nineteen years and I am tired of the world, you have lived for a thousand years, naturally you should have been tired of it, it is better to go back here, born here and now, and die here and now, how about it?"

Li Xiu said again.
