Chapter 60: The Two Paths of Immortals and Demons
Now that I heard that His Majesty was going to invite a banquet to the immortal master who killed the national thief, the entire court moved in groups.
Those monks who had left the sect also took the opportunity to visit, and these monks were all disciples who had no hope of advancing and returned to the world. Bringing the best children of their respective families with them comes with them, and their thoughts speak for themselves.
But these are not Xiao Yu's concerns, in the imperial garden, Xiao Yu and the four of them sat around, listening to His Majesty the Emperor tell about Princess Qinglian's mother.
"As early as ten years ago, Li'er suddenly had a serious illness, and I heard the national teacher at that time say that this disease is incurable, and she can only hang her life, and she can live for a few years. Seeing Concubine Ai haggard day and night, now that I think about it, this is simply a conspiracy, with the ability of the national teacher and monk, there is something he can't solve in the world, except for birth, old age, sickness and death. ”
A person's soul has been trapped in the body for nearly ten years and cannot be reincarnated, and he has to endure torture day and night, and his pain can be imagined, no wonder the strength of the ghost concubine can have the middle stage of foundation building.
Looking at Qinglian who was sitting on the sidelines, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly asked, "By the way, can you ask the immortal master to see if my son has the potential to cultivate immortals?"
As soon as the words came out, Princess Qinglian, who was originally silent, instantly lit up, and her clear and translucent eyes looked at Xiao Yu expectantly.
Xiao Yu is in Princess Qinglian, as a princess of a country, she is usually high, but she is still a little girl in the end. Signaling Princess Qinglian to stretch out her arm, Xiao Yu probed with her spiritual power, and it turned out to be the three spirit roots of Jinshuimu, but unfortunately, judging from the bone age, Princess Qinglian is already thirteen years old, and she has already passed the best period of cultivation, even if she cultivates forcibly, her achievements are not high.
So, after thinking about it, instead of giving her hope, it is better to tell the truth.
"The princess is the golden water and wood three spirit roots, but unfortunately she has passed the best age for cultivation, if you want to cultivate, I am afraid that your achievements will not be high, so I don't recommend you to cultivate, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. ”
At the beginning, when she heard that she had a spiritual root, the expression of surprise on Princess Qinglian's face was overflowing, but in the end, when she heard that she couldn't become a great monk, she was suddenly stunned.
But His Majesty the Emperor was furious, slammed his hand on the stone table, his eyes were full of anger, and he only said: "The demon misunderstands my son, Wu Yifan obviously told me that Qinglian has no spiritual root, just an ordinary mortal, and now it seems that it is really hateful!"
Xiao Yu and Song Ling'er glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's speechlessness. This Wu Yifan is too lacking in morality, not to mention refining other people's beloved concubines into ghost concubines, and also cutting off the future of other people's children;
"Immortal Master, is there no other way?" The anger gradually subsided, and His Majesty the Emperor still did not give up.
But seeing Qinglian on the side, she gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, quickly got up from her seat, came to Xiao Yu, and slowly bowed, "The national teacher is dead, and my royal family no longer has a monk to protect me, in the eyes of outsiders, this is a piece of fat." There are not a few people who are staring, and I implore the immortal master to teach me to cultivate, no matter how much I can achieve in the future, I just hope to protect my royal family from being coveted by others. ”
This is also the reason why His Majesty the Emperor left Xiao Yu, originally planned to make Xiao Yu the national teacher of the Yin Dynasty. But looking at Xiao Yu's attitude, this is impossible, and now listening to what her daughter said, she secretly said that her daughter has finally grown up and knows how to worry about herself.
Even looking at Qinglian's eyes were full of love, so much so that as a princess of a country, he felt that there was nothing wrong with kneeling for others. After all, the other party is an immortal master of the Immeasurable Immortal Sect, isn't it!
Xiao Yu shook his head, pulled Princess Qinglian up, and said, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's that I haven't qualified to accept apprentices." In this way, I have a magic trick here, if you can cultivate to the Dan stage, whether you can achieve it depends on your own creation, and I am not violating the rules of the sect. ”
After speaking, he took out a jade slip from the ring, which was a magic trick that was picked up on the fairy demon battlefield back then, and the name was Qinglian Sword Technique. It seems that this is also a kind of fate! Handing over the jade slip to Princess Qinglian, Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Xiao Yu took a closer look, the Qinglian Sword Technique was very suitable for the three spirit roots of Jinshuimu, and it could even be said that it was specially prepared for Princess Qinglian.
Song Ling'er on the side quickly found what she could do, that is, to teach Princess Qinglian some simple introductory knowledge.
Seeing the two girls whispering on the side, His Majesty the Emperor was finally satisfied, reached out and touched his short beard, looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Immortal Master is not strange, this girl has even forgotten the number of courtesies, and please forgive the Immortal Master, I have thanked the Immortal Master for Qinglian here." ”
When Qinglian heard this, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, she spit out her fragrant tongue, and quickly got up and said, "Immortal Master Xie gave the law!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and shook his head, what was incomparably precious to others was nothing more than a gesture to him. A low-level technique like the Qinglian Sword Technique is only a mid-grade method at most.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for the banquet, and the palace is still brightly lit at night.
When His Majesty the Emperor brought Xiao Yu and the others to the scene, the entire banquet was already full of people.
With the sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami of long live, Xiao Yu finally felt a different feeling from the mortal world, that is, the majesty of the emperor. Maybe in the cultivation realm, the king of a country is nothing, or even inferior to a qi refiner, but in the mortal realm, he is the master of a country.
After His Majesty the Emperor began the banquet, everyone sat down, and the next moment they all raised their eyes to look at Xiao Yu and Song Ling'er.
Especially those monks, in the mortal world, Wu Yifan in the early stage of fusion was like a big mountain, so that they didn't dare to raise their heads. Because these people have never even touched the threshold of foundation building, they are only a qi refiner all their lives.
Don't look at Xiao Yu, Liu Qingqing, Song Ling'er, etc., they have successfully built a foundation, and they feel that it is easy to build a foundation. How many monks are there in the entire cultivation realm? 1 percent can successfully build a foundation, 1 in 1,000 can achieve a pill, and there is not one in 10,000 who can achieve a primordial infant.
"Weichen respects His Majesty and the two immortal masters, Weichen should die, he failed to see the wolf ambition of the national teacher earlier. Fortunately, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and is blessed by nature, and now it is the blessing of Your Majesty and my Yin Dynasty to have two immortal masters eradicate the scourge. ”
"Your Majesty Hongfu!"
"Your Majesty Hongfu!"
“......”
With the scene being touted, His Majesty the Emperor finally smiled, and in front of everyone, he raised his wine glass to Xiao Yu and the two, and said, "I respect the two immortal masters, please!"
After drinking a glass of wine, he said again: "Zhong Aiqing is free." ”
After Xiao Yu finished drinking a glass, he no longer picked up the wine glass, these are ordinary things, and drinking too much is not good for himself. Therefore, in the face of people who came to show goodwill, they all smiled and shook their heads and refused.
Over time, Xiao Yu and Song Ling'er left everyone with a feeling that they were not getting along well and rejected people.
Looking at some people who are not giving up and have always wanted to come over to talk and make friends, Xiao Yu said to Song Ling'er: "Senior sister, look at it, all living beings, whether they are mortals or monks, can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, what is the explanation?"
Song Ling'er pondered for a moment, and also looked at those humanitarians: "There are two reasons, one is to test the attitude of the senior brother towards the Yin Dynasty, our sudden appearance, coupled with the death of the national teacher Wu Yifan, will the royal family be protected by the sect in the future;
"That's right, so it created a false impression for them, maybe in the near future, the war in the cultivation realm will spread to the mortal realm, and their worries are understandable. ”
This sentence is a prophecy, and it will really happen in the near future, because a large number of ghost cultivators and demon cultivators have poured into the mortal world to plague the common people, causing heavy casualties to the mortal world, and even some countries will disappear, of course, this is a later story.
The next day
Bidding farewell to Emperor Li Mu and Princess Qinglian, Xiao Yu took Song Ling'er back to the immortal cultivation world.
The spring breeze does not cross for ten miles, and the white clouds are drifting for thousands of miles.
Stepping on the flying sword and looking at the blue sky, Xiao Yu sighed with emotion. I thought that this trip home would be a reunion after a long absence, but I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was a parting!
Life and death are fate, when you see through everything, you will find that the most beautiful thing in life is two words - to live.
That's right, to be alive! Monks cultivating immortals are not just to change their lives against the heavens and get rid of life and death; they are immortal with the heavens and cultivate with the earth.
Enlightenment, enlightenment.
Three Thousand Great Avenues, I am cultivating the Immortal Dao or the Demon Dao, or the Immortal and Demon Dao, but all living beings say that the Immortal and the Demon are not mutually exclusive. And I, can I break the shackles?
Xiao Yu was a little confused at this moment, what no monk could do since ancient times, could he do it?
Tens of thousands of years ago, perhaps even longer, how many monks died on this path?
Immortals and demons are not mutually exclusive, not only the contradiction between the immortal cultivation realm and the demon cultivation realm, but also the conflict between the immortal path and the demon path. Can two very different ways be changed by him?
"Senior brother, what are you thinking? I've called you several times!"
Just as Xiao Yu was pondering, Song Ling'er on the side called him several times, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.
"What?"
Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at Song Ling'er in confusion.
"There was a fight ahead. ”
With Song Ling'er's reminder, Xiao Yu reacted and secretly said that he was too careless. Now that the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm has fallen into a melee, this is the territory of the Infinite Immortal Sect, so naturally it cannot be spared.
"Let's go, let's see. ”
Xiao Yu took the lead and dived towards the place where the sound came from, and it didn't take long for him to come to the periphery of the place where he was fighting. The two of them restrained their breath and hid behind a big tree and looked towards the field, only to see that in a cloud of black mist, three men and one woman were trapped to death, accompanied by a burst of terrible ghost screams, and wounds continued to appear on the four of them.
Especially the female cultivator standing in the middle, her white robes had already been stained red with blood, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear.
"It's Senior Sister Zhou of Flawless Peak, go and help. As soon as Song Ling'er saw the female cultivator's face, she immediately recognized it, and after speaking, she was about to rush out to rescue her.
But he didn't want to be pulled by Xiao Yu's arm, and suddenly said anxiously: "Senior brother, what's wrong?
Looking at the white clothes, Xiao Yu didn't want to save people. But Song Ling'er was eager to save people, so she didn't experience Xiao Yu's resistance.
Helpless, Xiao Yu pointed to the black mist and said sincerely: "It's not too late to see the situation clearly before making a move, it's a ghost cultivation in the middle stage of fusion, and if you go, you will only die in vain." ”
That's right, Black Mist is a ghost cultivator in the middle stage of fusion, and the four people trapped in it have the highest cultivation level but the late stage of foundation building, and they are a full three small steps short (peak of foundation building, early stage of fusion, middle stage of fusion)
Xiao Yu can deal with one or two, the key is that he is not happy with the white clothes, so he has no intention of making a move.
