Inside the lotus pond building.

The spring breeze with a faint fragrance of flowers wafted in from between the windows, blowing a silver-white wind chime under the window lattice, making a pleasant tinkling sound.

In front of the case, a pair of incense burners curls green smoke on the side, a dark sandalwood tea table lives quietly in the middle, and the fragrance of two warm teas rises above it like mist.

At this time, in front of the case, there were already two people sitting and chatting for a long time.

I saw that Luo Yu rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his hand: "Your Majesty, please." ”

Zhao Huang stretched out his hand slightly and picked up the small tea cup, tasted it lightly, and his right hand trembled slightly when he put it down! This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Luo Yu, who was tasting tea.

As the monarch of the country, Zhao Yi has been working hard for national affairs all year round, compared with ten years ago... He has grown much older.

But Zhao Yi looked at Luo Yu, whose appearance in front of him had not changed at all, and his complexion became more and more radiant, and sighed with a wry smile: "Ten years have passed, Luo Jun's demeanor is still shining, but I am dying of old age, which makes people sigh~!"

Luo Yu put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is a generation of Ming Jun, the destiny of heaven returns, and when the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, he will definitely be able to embrace the four seas." ”

Zhao Huangyi shook his head and waved his hand: "Luo Jun doesn't have to comfort me for being old, Huafa urges people to get old, and I am afraid that in my lifetime, I will never be able to see the world unified." ”

Saying that, he said with nostalgia: "Every time I remember Jun's demeanor back then, I only hate that I have no chance to participate in the world with Luo Jun..."

Luo Yu glanced at the old Emperor Zhao's sighing expression, and then glanced at the piece of jade slip that was turning in Emperor Zhao's left hand.

He naturally knew that Zhao Huangyi had come from thousands of miles away, and he must have asked for him. At this moment, after seeing the jade slip engraved with his name again, he already knew it. What Emperor Zhao asked for was nothing more than a matter of social affairs.

Seeing this, he smiled and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty has the grace of knowing Yu, but now although Yu is a member of the Xuanmen, it is inconvenient to interfere in mundane things, but... You can help each other. ”

"Oh!" When Zhao Yi heard this, he immediately looked expectantly: "Why did Luo Jun teach me?"

Obviously, Emperor Zhao knew that Luo Yu was no longer what he used to be, but a person who cultivated immortals in the Xuanmen. He did not follow Luo Yu's words to 'help,' but used a lower posture and said the word 'teach'! This has a kind of humble desire to ask for advice, and to retreat into advance.

But Luo Yu still tasted tea, and asked casually: "What does Your Majesty want Yu to do?"

"Hope?" Emperor Zhao fell into deep thought, but for a moment, he had already raised his head and looked at Luo Yu cautiously: "I am not here in the Spring and Autumn Period, and I am worried about what will happen in a hundred years. ”

"Your Majesty has many princes, why worry about it?" Luo Yu smiled.

But Emperor Zhao sighed and said: "The prince is mediocre and weak, ambitious and talented, and he is by no means a virtuous king. However, all the officials said that this was the way to get rid of chaos, and they persuaded endlessly... I naturally understand the truth, but the north and the south have not yet been unified, and non-holy kings can't protect the community...!"

Emperor Zhao's voice fell, and Luo Yu had already smiled and said: "Your Majesty is also worried, since ancient times, the kings of great governance have all been a combination of rigidity and softness, so that they can gather all rivers." ”

As he spoke, he asked, "Which prince does Your Majesty want to have in the courtyard, or is it the calm Second Prince, or the wise Nine Emperors?"

As soon as Emperor Zhao saw that Luo Yu could stay at home, he knew the situation of the princes in the courtyard, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, "Immortals are indeed immortals!"

In fact, Luo Yu can know this, which is nothing, because as long as his divine sense is released, he can know the words and deeds of the people in the courtyard... Moreover, Emperor Zhao came to see him, since he brought all the princes, he must have his intentions.

At this moment, every word and deed of several people in the courtyard was under the visit of his divine sense. What are the pros and cons? Coupled with Emperor Zhao's heart of abandoning longevity, he naturally understood Emperor Zhao's intention to be one of the nine princes.

And although Emperor Zhao at this moment is a mortal king, he also knows some things about cultivators. When Luo Yu said this, he naturally had already observed the princes through his supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhao nodded slightly, and he looked at Luo Yu inquiringly: "What does Luo Jun think of the Nine Emperor Princes?"

Luo Yu shook his head: "In all mundane matters, it is inconvenient for Yu to interfere too much. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his palm, as if asking for something.

When Emperor Zhao saw it, he was puzzled at first, but then he followed Luo Yu's gaze and looked at the jade slip in his hand!

He suddenly suddenly put the jade slip in Luo Yu's palm.

Luo Yu picked up the jade slip and looked at it and said to himself: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made, and people will not learn it and do not know." This jade slip is uncarved and difficult to form, so Yu will accept it for the time being. ”

Obviously, there is a deep meaning in Luo Yu's words.

For a moment, Emperor Zhao had already begun to frown and stroke his beard, pondering the meaning of his words.

When he saw Luo Yu take the jade slip into his arms, and then thought back to what he said, he immediately understood.

Obviously, Luo Yu has already seen his thoughts, this is to carve a tool for him!

Seeing this, Emperor Zhao couldn't ask for it. He came here in the hope that with the opportunity of paying tribute to Master Qian, Luo Yu could know about it, so that he could miss it or two. Even if it is good to send a disciple to sit in his Zhao country, even if it doesn't work, it is also good to ask Luo Yu to support the Nine Emperor Princes as the crown prince as the honor of immortals.

After all, the hundred officials saw the scene of Luo Yu stepping on the Xuanlong with their own eyes, if Luo Yu is willing to help, even the hundred officials, and even the people will be convinced...

Now, although Luo Yu said that he 'does not interfere in the affairs of the heavenly family', he accepted the jade slip, saying that 'jade is not cut into a weapon', then the meaning is obvious.

First, Luo Yu politely refused and did not directly interfere in mundane matters.

The second is that you can accept the prince in the courtyard as your subordinate!

You must know that today's Luo Yu is not only a Xuanmen immortal, but also a person who is very respected in the Zhao Kingdom and even in the court, if the prince can be under his disciple, it will be equivalent to establishing his position.

It's just that who Luo Yu wants to leave behind is unknown?

Although Emperor Zhao likes Jiuzi very much, after all, he also knows that when he enters the Xuan Cultivation, he also has to pay attention to qualifications.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Luo Jun thinks that among the princes in the courtyard, who can carve into a vessel?"

Luo Yu closed his eyes slightly and released his divine sense again.

Under Emperor Zhao's expectant gaze, Luo Yu opened his eyes in just a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are two people in the courtyard who have the foundation of cultivation. ”

"Oh, there are two of them!" Emperor Zhao didn't expect that among his princes, there were actually two people who could cultivate!

He was suddenly in a good mood and asked, "I don't know which of my two princes?"

Luo Yu waved his hand slightly: "It's not two princes, it's a prince and a princess." ”

"Tingnuo!" Obviously, in the previous chat, Luo Yu had already known from Emperor Zhao that the wife of Tao De, who he gave jade, was none other than Zhao Tingnuo, the little princess of Zhao Kingdom.

Emperor Zhao looked a little surprised, he thought it was two princes, but he didn't expect that Tingnuo could actually cultivate! If so, wouldn't there be two people in his Zhao royal family who could become immortals?

But Luo Yu didn't seem to have the intention of accepting the two of them together, so he said: "Your Majesty has a good eye, although the Nine Emperor Sons' spiritual root qualifications are average, they can still be cultivated. If His Majesty decides, Yu Ke can accept him as a disciple of the outer chamber of the sect. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, obviously Luo Yu was only willing to accept the nine sons under the door, this was to repay him!

And why is Luo Yu unwilling to accept Zhao Tingnuo? Naturally, it is because Zhao Tingnuo is the wife of Tao De. No matter what, they are all his sisters and sisters-in-law, how can they mess up the generations and accept them as disciples?

At this time, Emperor Zhao also knew that Luo Yu's willingness to accept the Nine Emperors was already based on the past feelings.

Seeing this, he was also relieved, so he got up and said goodbye.

But at this moment, Luo Yu handed over a Dan bottle the size of a goose egg, and smiled at Emperor Zhao, who was puzzled: "After Your Majesty returns to the palace, you can choose a hidden place, divide this spiritual liquid into seven days, and bathe it in warm water every hour." Not to mention immortality, it can also prolong life, activate the meridians and strengthen the body. ”

When Emperor Zhao heard this, his heart was immediately excited, obviously the thing that Luo Yu gave was an elixir of the immortal family that could not be found!

After carefully collecting the pills, the two of them went out of the small house together.

At this time, the princes were chatting boredly. But suddenly I heard the voice of the 'swordsman' behind me: "Master." ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately got up and saluted: "Father, Luo Jun." ”

Seeing that Luo Yu and his father were both smiling, they knew that the two must have had a good conversation.

And just when everyone showed a look of expectation, Emperor Zhao had already glanced at all the princes, and finally his eyes fell on the face of the Nine Emperor Prince Zhao Xuan's expectation: "Xuan'er, from today onwards, you will stay here and listen to Luo Jun's teachings. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, and they all looked at Zhao Xuan, envious, jealous and hate...!

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped out, lifted the hem of his clothes to make a disciple's big salute, and called out: "Disciple Zhao Xuan, meet Master Luo." ”

Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to get up.

After Zhao Xuan got up, he also knew how to be polite, and he didn't forget to greet Xu Hengxuan and Shu Fangyi.

Zhao Xuan's worship and Luo Yu's response can be regarded as laying the foundation for his future.

And just when Emperor Zhao and the others were about to go to pay tribute to Master Qian, Zhao Tingnuo, who had never spoken, suddenly rushed out, knelt down in front of Luo Yu, and buried his head and said: "Tingnuo, I implore Luo Jun to accept me as an apprentice." ”

Zhao Tingnuo suddenly came to such a hand, which really surprised everyone. Luo Yu hurriedly staggered away, obviously unwilling to accept Zhao Tingnuo's worship. After all, Zhao Tingnuo is also his brother and sister-in-law, how can he accept this worship?

Zhao Huangyi frowned and scolded: "Tingnuo, don't be rude!"

But Zhao Tingnuo didn't care about it, and still kept bowing: "Ask Luo Jun to accept Tingnuo as an apprentice..." ”

Seeing that Zhao Tingnuo's forehead was red, she still kept bowing.

Luo Yu frowned, raised his hand slightly, and dragged it up.

Everyone saw that Zhao Tingnuo seemed to be held up by an invisible energy, and she could no longer bow down.

And Zhao Tingnuo was already a pear blossom with rain, looking at Luo Yu expectantly: "Tingnuo is not for immortality, just to be able to find him... Be by his side. ”

Obviously, this 'he' is referring to her husband, Todd!

Zhao Huangyi was displeased when he heard it, and changed to ai pity, sighing and shaking his head.

Luo Yu asked: "He has entered the evil path and is not tolerated by the mountains and seas, why should you be persistent?"

Zhao Tingnuo smiled sadly: "Since Tingnuo is Tao's wife, she should follow the king's side, and she has no regrets." ”

With a deep sigh, Luo Yu waved his hand and said, "Shu'er, Xuan'er, Mrs. Futao went inside to treat her wounds." ”

"No. Shu Fangyi and Zhao Xuan hurriedly came to Zhao Tingnuo's side.

Zhao Xuan persuaded and said, "Sister Huang, hurry up?"

As soon as Zhao Huang and the others saw that Luo Yu's title had changed, they knew that Luo Yu was going to leave Zhao Tingnuo.

Sure enough, when Zhao Tingnuo passed by Luo Yu, she thanked gratefully: "Second brother Xie is complete." ”

......

The sunset swayed in the western sky, the valley was silent, and the murmuring of water was endless.

After Emperor Zhao paid tribute to his master and led the princes to leave, Peach Blossom Village once again regained its tranquility.

Turning on the lights in the room one by one, 'Huh~' gently blew out the fire, and Shu Fangyi returned to his seat.

By the flickering candlelight, Luo Yu looked at the two extra people in the room, and smiled helplessly in his heart.

Since Emperor Zhao's arrival, he had guessed his general intentions. Agreeing to accept the Nine Emperor Princes as a registered disciple of the outer chamber is also a gesture. But what he never expected was that there was an extra Zhao Tingnuo.

Thinking of this, he first looked at Zhao Xuan, who looked fifteen or sixteen, and said bluntly: "Xuan'er, you have to be clear that your spiritual root qualifications are average, and according to the door rules, you can only temporarily become a disciple of the outer room. ”

Zhao Xuan was respectful and polite, but he seemed very indifferent: "Master doesn't have to be embarrassed, as long as the disciple can follow you, listen to the teachings, and increase his knowledge, even if he doesn't learn immortal arts, it's nothing." ”

"Poof..."Shu Fangyi and Xu Hengxuan suddenly laughed. Secretly said, "If the master goes away, you don't have any cultivation, how can you follow?"

Luo Yu also shook his head helplessly, this Nine Emperor Princes could think about it. Everyone wants to cultivate and live forever, but he has no desires and no desires, and he is free and easy.

Immediately, he looked at Zhao Tingnuo again: "The princess is the eldest sister-in-law, and it is inconvenient for Yu to accept you as an apprentice, but she can pass on your cultivation skills." ”

When Zhao Tingnuo heard this, she was grateful softly: "There is a second brother Lao, which makes the second brother embarrassed." ”

"Heh~" Luo Yu waved indifferently, and then stretched out his palm to summon two bamboo slips that had been prepared during the day, and pushed them to the two of them in the air.

After briefly explaining the cultivation system and some common sense, he continued: "This is the cultivation method of the disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Sister and Xuan'er can refine qi according to their methods, and with the qualifications of the two of you, you can enter the qi refining realm in half a year. ”

Zhao Xuan didn't seem to care, while Zhao Yingnuo frowned slightly: "It takes half a load?"

Luo Yu could understand Zhao Yingnuo's mood of wanting to find her husband Tao De as soon as possible, but cultivation was the most taboo and in a hurry.

"If you want to do things quickly, you can't reach ......" Luo Yu was relieved after some persuasion: "But sister doesn't need to worry, I will bring some pills in a few days..." ”

After Luo Yu finished speaking, Zhao Tingnuo was grateful and disrespectful.
