In order to welcome Li Qinglian's arrival, Jinling City was lit up everywhere, and the people were waiting on the street early, wanting to see this unprecedented grand occasion.

Prime Minister Li Tang's visit to Daomen was actually the first time that the Daomen of Middle Earth had established contacts with other forces in the Flood Wilderness, and both the Daogong and the ordinary people attached great importance to this.

"Coming, coming, I don't know how the people of Dongsheng Shenzhou are different from us, I heard that this Prime Minister Li Tang is also known as a poet immortal. The crowd was already boiling, and most of the people were talking about Li Qinglian.

"Daoist friends still don't know, we and the Dongsheng Shenzhou human race are originally from the same origin, if it weren't for the Ancient Tribulation, maybe we would still be living together. Some well-informed Jinling people hurriedly explained.

Claiming to be Zhou Cheng's preaching to the world, coupled with the surge of aura after the reunion of the flood and famine, there are no ordinary people in the sense of the past in Middle Earth, and now both men, women, and children are actually cultivators, and they are mostly commensurate with each other.

Just as the people of Jinling were looking forward to it, Li Qinglian's guard of honor finally drove into Jinling City.

Li Qinglian gently lifted the corner of the frame curtain, and took a look at the majestic and prosperous Jinling City outside, as well as the vibrant crowds, which can be regarded as having a first impression of Jinling City.

Jinling City has already become a big city in the flood wilderness, and now Li Tang Chang'an is destroyed, Jinling has a great atmosphere of the first city in the flood wilderness, the so-called peek at a glimpse and see the whole leopard, Li Qinglian's Jinling in the eyes is the weather that represents the entire Middle Earth Daomen.

"Now that the Great Tribulation of the Era has begun, everyone in the flood and wilderness is in danger, or running for the opportunity, or hiding to avoid the catastrophe, but only this Middle Earth Dao Gate is full of vitality, a good preaching world, and the mind of this Dao Jun is even better than that of the Dao Ancestor!" Li Qinglian thought in his heart while driving, and seeing the weather in Jinling made him admire Zhou Cheng even more.

At the end of ancient times, Daozu Hongjun passed down the Dao, but Daozu also paid attention to chance and understanding, and not all living beings could comprehend the Dao of Daozu. However, Zhou Cheng's preaching is more thorough, he forms a system of Taoism from basic to profound, without setting any threshold, so that anyone can learn it, so that every living creature has infinite possibilities.

Just as Li Qinglian was thinking about it, the honor guard also came all the way to the front of the Dao Palace.

Outside the Dao Palace, there was also a banner hunt at the moment, and a large number of Dao Palace officials were waiting for Li Qinglian in full costume.

However, the most people who greeted here were Taiyi Xuan Immortals, and there was not a single Da Luo Jin Immortal.

In fact, although Jinling is an important place in Middle-earth, there is not much force stationed here on weekdays, and at most, Chu garlic often appears. It's not that they don't pay attention to Jinling, but because the high-level Daomen know that Xie An is still cultivating in Dongshan, not far from Jinling, and with this quasi-saint in charge, Jinling can be described as impregnable.

Li Qinglian's guard of honor landed, followed by a series of welcome ceremonies in the Dao Palace, which were solemn but not lengthy, but ended quickly.

"Li Xiang, please, the ruling power is already waiting in the palace. After the ceremony, Zu Chongzhi once again led Li Qinglian to the depths of the Dao Palace, and the power in his mouth was Chu Garlic.

This former Empress Dowager of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is now not only the existence of the peak of Da Luo, but also the ruling power of the Dao Palace personally sealed by Zhou Cheng, and she is also the most likely person to advance to the quasi-saint of the Dao Sect after Su Ruolan.

Chu Garlic entered the Tao late, but her understanding is extremely high, and her identity is special and noble, that is, Zhou Cheng is also a Taoist friend to her, so although she is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, she is not included in the list of the twenty-four immortals in Yuntai, and Chu Garlic is slightly higher than the twenty-four immortals in terms of status.

Li Qinglian followed Zu Chongzhi into the Dao Palace, where Zhou Cheng once lived, and everything remained the same as it was back then.

If you go deeper along the central axis of the Dao Palace, you will come to the Yuntai Hall, the center of the entire Dao Palace.

However, although the Yuntai Palace is the center of the Dao Palace, it is not the center of the geographical location of the entire Dao Palace, and the center of the geographical location of the entire Dao Palace has to move forward slightly by dozens of zhang, just in the center of the square in front of the Yuntai Palace.

And now at this central point, there is a lifelike white jade statue.

The statue is majestic and upright, standing with its hands in its hands, and its head slightly raised, as if staring at the sky.

Li Qinglian walked into the square, and when she saw this statue for the first time, her subconscious body was shocked, and then it was difficult to move her feet.

At this moment, Li Qinglian's heart was already shocked, he knew that the statue in front of him was the appearance of Yuntai Daojun, but this appearance was exactly the same as the most important figure in his memory.

Zu Chongzhi and the other accompanying officials only thought that Li Qinglian was attracted by the statue of Daojun, and did not urge him, but the next moment Li Qinglian's actions shocked the accompanying Li Tang officials.

I saw that after a while, Li Qinglian straightened her clothes, and then bowed to the statue of Daojun with great respect.

"Li Xiang can't be ........" Li Qinglian's accompanying deputy envoy shouted eagerly, Li Qinglian visited on behalf of Li Tang, if the main lord hadn't seen it, he would salute the statue of Daojun, which would indeed make Li Tang lose face.

Li Qinglian turned a deaf ear to the advice behind him, only to see him wave his hand, and then as soon as he lifted the hem of his clothes, he knelt on the ground on his left knee in front of everyone.

At this moment, not only the accompanying Li Tang officials panicked, but even Zu Chongzhi and the others were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qinglian's right knee also knelt on the ground, and then her sleeve flicked, and her forehead lightly touched the ground.

This is the most solemn kowtow ceremony, which is only used when worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping ancestors, even the courtiers do not have to do this to the king, but Li Qinglian has completed three kowtows three times in a row.

"Today, I bow to the Daojun three times, and worship the grace of the Daojun, and I should be my teacher. The second worship of the Taoist gentleman preaches the world and has the common people in mind. Three worships to the Taoist monarch, the saint should worship!" Li Qinglian said solemnly, his voice sounded in the square, and his every word surprised those who heard it.

Li Qinglian's first sentence made everyone suddenly realize, and they all understood that the mysterious Taibai Sword in Li Qinglian's hand was given by Zhou Cheng, this sentence made Zu Chongzhi and the others look at Li Qinglian The expression changed greatly, because with this relationship, they are actually the same family.

However, Li Tang's official face became particularly ugly, because the reason why Li Tang became what he is now is because of Su Ruolan and Zhou Cheng, and even now that the Holy Emperor Dao is scattered, the culprit is also Zhou Cheng.

As for Li Qinglian's second sentence, most people are a little confused. And the third sentence is only understood by a few people.

In fact, this statue of Dao Jun in the Dao Palace can be described as lifelike, but the most important face on the statue is hazy, and it seems that there is no carving of the face at all when this statue is completed.

Since the Dao Palace wants to erect this statue, it is natural that it will not be done halfway, in fact, it is not that he is unwilling to carve his face, but because no one in the entire Dao Gate can carve Zhou Cheng's face.

Although everyone has a deep imprint of Zhou Cheng's appearance in their hearts, even if those Da Luo peak existences want to carve or draw Zhou Cheng's appearance, they will not know how to write, and even if they are forcibly carved or painted, the jade or paper they carry will be wiped out.

And this is precisely one of the characteristics of the mixed yuan sage, known as the saint without appearance.

The so-called saint without appearance does not mean that the saint does not have a fixed appearance, but because the mixed elements have been blended with the Heavenly Dao, they have gradually become a part of the Heavenly Dao, their spiritual will is everywhere, and nothing can carry their will unless they themselves want to.

Zhou Cheng has always relied on huge merits and has the title of the first person under the mixed element, but now that he has some characteristics of the mixed element, it has become a mystery whether he has completed the mixed element.

"I didn't expect Li Xiang and Daojun to have such a relationship, you see that the ruling power has already come out to greet him in person. Zu Chongzhi felt that the atmosphere in Li Tang's team was a little abnormal, and hurriedly stepped forward and pointed to the Yuntai Hall and said reassuringly.

Following the direction of Zu Chongzhi's finger, everyone saw that a special figure did appear in front of the Yuntai Palace.

Although Chu Garlic is also a Taoist robe, it is still difficult to hide her noble and elegant temperament, she holds a silver-white scepter in her hand, and the countless textures on the scepter are intertwined as if the warp and weft of heaven and earth.

"Li Qinglian, the political affairs of the Tang Dynasty, has seen the Dao Palace in power. Li Qinglian gave up his hand to Chu Garlic, and he still maintained his identity as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister has worked hard all the way. Chu Lianzi responded politely, and then waited for Li Qinglian to arrive, and then the two walked into the Yuntai Hall together.

The Yuntai Hall is no longer a hall in the ordinary sense, and this place has become a space of its own, and everything in it has changed with the change of Chu Garlic's mind.

In order to welcome Li Qinglian, Chu Garlic changed it into a scene of Lanting Qu flowing water, but what floated in the water became all kinds of fairy fruit and fairy brew.

"I heard that Li Tang is full of civil strife, and the Holy Emperor of your country is also unable to govern, at this time, Li Xiang came to Middle-earth alone, so he is not afraid that the civil strife will be more prosperous?" Chu Garlic was the first to speak, because at the beginning, Li Qinglian did not explain what the specific purpose of his visit to Middle-earth was, and no one knew his intention.

"The Tang Dynasty has been established for hundreds of thousands of years, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor is a rare Ming monarch and holy lord in the past and present, and the civil strife is only for a while. "Li Qinglian has the style of a prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and she is neither humble nor arrogant when she speaks.

However, when Li Qinglian entered the Yuntai Palace, the matter of him kowtowing to the Daojun statue just now had already spread to Dongsheng Shenzhou, and it was still spreading to other places at a very fast speed, and now everyone knew that Li Tang's prime minister was actually a disciple of Daojun.

This news may be just an after-dinner conversation for ordinary people, but for the troops and officials who are loyal to Li Tang, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and even these people subconsciously think that Li Qinglian is a spy of the Daomen.

And this situation is especially prominent in the Holy Emperor's Palace, where many officers and soldiers are even talking in private, saying that the Holy Emperor has actually been placed under house arrest by Li Qinglian.

Outside the hall where the Holy Emperor lived in seclusion, Chen Xuanli knelt on the ground with tens of thousands of forbidden troops, and tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, "Ask to see the Holy Emperor", the voice came out for more than ten miles, and even Concubine Taizhen hurried over.

Outside the main hall, Gao Lishi stared at the forbidden army with a frosty face, he knew best whether the Holy Emperor was under house arrest, but the Holy Emperor didn't see anyone now, and he couldn't break the rules just because all the forbidden troops asked to see him.

"General Chen, this official said that the Holy Emperor is fine, do you even doubt me?" Gao Lishi said in an unkind tone, he didn't know if Li Qinglian was a spy or not, but he knew that the Holy Emperor hadn't said it until now, so he would act as if nothing had happened.

"It's just that this matter is very important, if today's chaotic people's hearts are fluctuating, and Your Majesty has not shown up for a long time, please ask Your Majesty to come out and see it, so that the world can rest assured and let the soldiers dispel their doubts. Chen Xuanli still didn't give up, as if they really wouldn't leave without seeing Li Xuanzong.

"Presumptuous, Your Majesty has not summoned you, will you see you when you say you will see it? Do you want to force the palace to fail? If you have the ability, you will step over the official. Gao Lishi also moved the real fire, and in an instant, the momentum on his body skyrocketed, and a Da Luo Dao fruit was suspended above his head, and the whole person was like a towering mountain in front of the main hall.

Colliers' arrogance temporarily suppressed the Forbidden Army riots, but that didn't mean it was over.

In Chen Xuanli's military tent, more than ten generals of the forbidden army gathered together.

"General, the general has a plan to verify whether His Majesty is safe. Just when the generals were talking, a young commander of the forbidden army suddenly said to Chen Xuanli.

"Tell me about it. Chen Xuanli hurriedly asked, and at the same time, the tent suddenly fell silent, waiting for this commander to say a plan.

"This idea of the last general is a bit risky, but it is absolutely effective, you all know that His Majesty the Holy Emperor cares most about Concubine Taizhen, we can find a reason to control Concubine Taizhen, His Majesty will inevitably appear for this matter, if so, it is okay, but if His Majesty does not show up, it means that it is really ........" The young commander said in his heart, but the last sentence was difficult to say.

There was silence in the military tent for a while, everyone knew what the last sentence was, if the forbidden army arrested Concubine Taizhen, and the Holy Emperor didn't go out, it meant that the Holy Emperor really had an accident.

The most struggling at this moment is Chen Xuanli, as the general of the forbidden army, this decision is only made by him, but no matter what the result is, he is not willing to make such a decision.

"Okay, that's it! Any consequences would have been borne by one person. However, unexpectedly, Chen Xuanli did not struggle for long before making a decision.

At this moment, Chen Xuanli is not the only one who also needs to make a choice, but the crown prince Li Heng, who is far away in Yuyang, also needs to make a decision.

At this moment, dozens of Li Tang officials in front of him knelt on the ground, and they all received the news that Li Qinglian had kowtowed three times in front of him, and in the consciousness of these people, Li Xuanzong had already encountered an accident, and they were advising the crown prince to ascend the throne in order to achieve great unification.

Perhaps no one expected that Li Qinglian's visit to the Middle Earth Daomen not only did not improve the relationship between the two camps, but instead plunged Li Tang into greater turmoil.

In the midst of countless speculations and uneasiness, Ma Weipo's forbidden army arrested Concubine Taizhen as Li Qinglian's comrade on the grounds that she had appreciated Li Qinglian, and demanded that Li Xuanzong execute Concubine Taizhen and depose Li Qinglian as prime minister.

At the same time, the crown prince Li Heng also held an enthronement ceremony in Yuyang under repeated excuses, and became the holy emperor of Li Tang's new generation, but his legitimacy as the holy emperor was still questioned by many people. ()
