Chapter 103: Enter the Imperial City
According to common sense, the affairs of the world, especially those involving the princes of all parties, will not be involved in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, but the secret letter mentions that someone used demon magic, which continuously caused the loss of young children, and even found bones, which attracted the attention of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land at this time.
Li Huachen convened a meeting of several leaders to discuss how to deal with it, and several leaders did not agree on the same opinion, and some believed that Dongtian Fudi should come forward to deal with this matter on behalf of the righteous way of the world, so as to demonstrate the justice of the world. However, some people think that it is not appropriate to send people from the blessed land, because once this matter is accepted, many similar events in the future will have to send people to participate, which may be difficult to deal with, and it is too deep in the world, which is contrary to the original intention of Qing Xiu. After a long time of controversy, there was never a unified opinion, and in the end Li Huachen made a decision, and decided to send a disciple of the cave heaven blessed land to go down the mountain to secretly investigate the matter, if there is a demon in the world, the cave heaven blessed land must not stand idly by, not to mention that Li Shanyuan is still related to the cave heaven blessed land, and he is also a nominal mountain disciple, no matter what he says, he can't ignore it.
Seeing that the head of the cabinet made the final decision, everyone had no objections, and finally Li Huachen sent Lin Chunxi, Xue Lingheng, Lu Yiru, Tao Ye, Luo Yifei, Chen Yiyao, Song Yan, and Lu Ling to investigate the matter on behalf of Dongtian Fudi, but also informed Li Shanyuan in writing that this action was a secret investigation, and it must not be publicized to the world.
Li Huachen found Lin Chunxi and others, told them the decision they had just made, and told them that this time it was not the same as going to Miaojiang, this time it was to enter the city where civilians lived, their actions not only represented the blessed land, but also to be careful when using the Dao method, the density of civilians in the city was too large, and Wu was a big country, so we must reduce the impact of things as much as possible, and eliminate demons for the place. Everyone saw Lu Ling again, and they were very curious about where she had gone these days, Lu Ling was vague and did not answer everyone positively, and everyone knew that she must have a hard time, so they didn't ask more. Lu Ling looked at Chen Yiyao, who was looking at him, smiled at him, and pointed at him at the fang, Chen Yiyao also smiled back, and then went separately to prepare.
In the end, Li Huachen left Lin Chunxi alone, and repeatedly told him that this time things were different from the past, and asked him to take care of his juniors and disciples, and at the same time fully cooperate with the power of the Wu royal family, find out the real culprit of the disaster as soon as possible, and punish it, so as to eliminate harm for the local area and benefit the people. Lin Chunxi didn't dare to be careless, remembered the teacher's words firmly, and asked the teacher for details before retreating.
Before Lin Chunxi left, he went to see Mo Ji, Miao Jiang and his party, Lin Chunxi and Mo Ji established a deep relationship, and at the same time, Mo Ji went south and north in the early years, went to many places, and also had a lot of ways to get along with the world, Lin Chunxi asked him for advice, Mo Ji told him a few words, and smiled and comforted him, signaling Lin Chunxi not to be nervous, there is also a lot of fun in the world, this trip will be very rewarding, and at the same time warned him that there are many temptations in the world, wine and wealth are all taboos for people who cultivate truth, this time into Wu State, it is a test for them, I hope they will cherish themselves, Lin Chunxi listened carefully to the teachings。
Three days later, Lin Chunxi and his entourage packed their bags, secretly went down the mountain, and went straight to Wu State, in order to avoid unnecessary branches, they did not fanfare this time, but chose to travel secretly, before dawn several people have already gone down the mountain, Wu is not far from the cave heaven blessed land, that is, less than two days away, the group of people from the trail forward, towards the pre-agreed place, nothing happened along the way, the group of people as fast as possible, to the fastest time to reach Wu country.
After Lin Chunxi led everyone to an inn and settled down, he took Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling to the palace of Wu State, and there were already people waiting at the gate of the forbidden palace, after Lin Chunxi showed the token token to the guard, the guard hurriedly led the three into the palace, and after waiting for a short time, an official came out to greet him, and the official told the three, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting for everyone, please come with me."
The three of them entered the inner city of the imperial city under the leadership of this person, and the three young people came to the bustling capital for the first time, and it was the first time to enter the majestic royal forbidden palace. Through the layers of guards, the three of them were treated to the crown prince's bedroom, the imperial city is magnificently decorated, gold, silver and jade, precious flowers and plants, but from the decoration, you can see the wealth and grandeur of the royal Wu Kingdom, although the people who cultivate the truth do not care about these things outside the body, but this powerful royal aura also makes people feel the pressure on their faces.
Not long after, a person walked out of it, this person is of medium stature, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, dignified appearance, dressed luxuriously, a royal style, it turns out that this person is the crown prince's Li Shanyuan, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute Li Shanyuan, although there is no kneeling salute to see the royal family, but the three represent the blessed land, completely representing the Taoist attitude.
Li Shanyuan hurriedly came over to help each other, and said loudly, "A few junior disciples don't be polite, the pavilion master has already said first, you are here on this trip, we want to call it the same senior brother, and this is the royal request and rank, you can't ask for more courtesy", the three of them saw that Li Shanyuan was the crown prince's honorable status, but he was very approachable to several people, adding a little favor, but Lin Chunxi remembered the teacher Li Huachen's advice before leaving, and did not dare to be careless, with a respectful application on his face, he began to ask the reason for the matter.
Li Shanyuan sighed slightly, and shook his head gently, "I'm ashamed to say it, at this time, it should have been handled by the royal family of my Wu Kingdom, but the matter is too strange, and it is also that I, the crown prince, am incompetent, and the characters assigned by my father and emperor cannot be solved for a long time, so I have to ask for help from everyone in the blessed world, and you listen to me and you in detail", and then began to talk to the three of them.
It turned out that more than three months ago, there were residents in the capital of Wu began to lose their children, and at the beginning it was only treated as a human trafficking incident, but after several investigations, there was no news of missing children, and I knew that half a month ago, someone was in the city god temple outside the city, and inadvertently found the bones of more than ten children.
