Chapter 278: Peerless Demon
After finding that there were no extra words on the wanted warrant except for Shangguan's introduction and appearance, Xu Lin suddenly lost interest, turned around and walked into the city. It's just that when he turned around, the appearance of the wanted officer on the wanted notice had already been imprinted in his mind, and as long as he saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize it.
Phoenix, the big city second only to Luodu under the rule of the Yuetang Dynasty, is only below Luodu in terms of prosperity and population, and ranks second in the entire land of Zhongzhou.
Xu Lin walked into Phoenix City and was surprised to find that among the passers-by on the roads in the city, there were mortals, and there were countless monks with the vitality of heaven and earth rippling on their bodies. Mortals and monks walk together, and they don't seem to have much influence on each other. There was no surprise in the eyes of mortals, only a slight respect. Nor are the monks above the sky, believing that mortals are ants.
"Huh, all beings are equal, Tiangong Academy!" Seeing such a harmonious scene, Xu Lin couldn't help but exhale lightly and sighed.
Tiangong Academy advocates the five major thoughts, benevolence, education, equality, virtue, and heavenly will. One of them is equal, so that there is no barrier between the immortals and mortals in the entire land of Zhongzhou, and they are very integrated.
Unconsciously, Xu Lin couldn't help but admire Tiangong Academy in his heart. Although he didn't have much interest in Tiangong Academy and the people in Tiangong Academy, he was able to make monks and mortals get along on an equal footing, which made Xu Lin have to admire. At least, outside of Zhongzhou, Xu Lin hadn't seen a monk and a mortal get along on an equal footing.
But admiration is admiration, and if you don't catch a cold, you still don't catch a cold. Xu Lin muttered to himself, and aimlessly followed the flow of people on the road to the center of the city, in front of a seven-story exquisite attic.
Seven-storey exquisite pavilion, covering an area of 100 acres, carved beams and painted buildings, the end is antique. Above the door of the lowest floor, there is a plaque hanging on it, with four big characters of "Suyun Xianju" written on it.
Xu Lin stood still in the crowd, looked at the first floor of this Suyun Immortal Residence, and found that among the people who came in and out were mortals, monks, and the smell of wine came from them. Suddenly, Xu Lin understood that this Suyun Xianju turned out to be a restaurant.
After smiling slightly, Xu Lin walked towards the Suyun Immortal Residence, he hadn't eaten mortal wine and food for a long time, and at this time, he was aroused by the smell of wine, so he wanted to enter the Suyun Immortal Residence to relieve his slander.
"Guest officer, you're here! Please inside, please inside!" As soon as he entered Suyun Xianju, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and greeted Xu Lin with a smile on his face.
Xu Lin's eyes fell on the shopkeeper's body, his eyes lit up, and his face showed a slight look of surprise. This shopkeeper turned out to be a monk, although his cultivation was only a step of the Dao Fetus, but it still surprised Xu Lin. As a monk, he actually worked as a shopkeeper in a restaurant, Xu Lin felt very incredible.
Seeing that Xu Lin didn't speak, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he was about to speak, but he felt the fluctuation of heaven and earth vitality faintly coming from Xu Lin's body, and his smile froze for a moment, and then he became more respectful: "Senior, it turns out that you are also a monk, Suyun Immortal Residence has a quiet room specially set up for monks, but it is only available above the fifth floor, why don't you go to the fifth floor?"
"Oh, okay, let's go to the fifth floor. Xu Lin raised his eyebrows and agreed.
At that moment, the shopkeeper led the way in front, leading Xu Lin through the lobby on the first floor, and stepped on the stairs upstairs near the wall on the far left.
Above the fifth floor, there is no noise on the first floor below, and the noise in the second floor is much quieter. After the shopkeeper led Xu Lin to the fifth floor, he led Xu Lin to an independent cottage.
"Senior, we can use the gold and silver things in the mortal world to pay the bills here, and we can also use the Xuanyang Pill among the monks to pay the bills. Would you like to take a seat, do you need anything?" beckoned Xu Lin to sit down in the small house.
The cottage is very delicate and elegant, simple and simple, on the low table in the center, an incense burner is burning sandalwood, and the fragrance rising from the incense makes the hearts of those who enter here immediately overflow.
Xu Lin nodded with satisfaction, flipped his palm, took out ten Xuanyang Pills and threw them to the shopkeeper, and said, "You can show me some wine and food, it's delicious." ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and took the Xuanyang Dan that Xu Lin had rewarded without a trace, and the respectful look on his face became even greater: "Okay, senior, please wait a minute, the wine and food you want will arrive soon." With that, the shopkeeper quickly withdrew from the cottage and prepared wine and food for Xu Lin.
After the shopkeeper left, Xu Lin released his divine sense. When he came upstairs just now, he saw that above the fifth floor, all of them were small houses, almost hundreds, and Xu Lin felt that more than half of them were monks. Xu Lin released his divine sense, just to hear what they were talking about.
Maybe it's because this Suyun Immortal Residence is trying to show that he is upright, and there is no forbidden formation in the small houses above. Xu Lin's divine sense easily spread to the entire fifth floor, and he listened to the words of many of them.
Eliminating those words of greeting senior brother and junior sister, Xu Lin suddenly laughed, and gathered his divine consciousness in a small house not far from him, which was only separated by five small houses. There were six monks in that small house, looking at the clothes, Xu Lin couldn't recognize which sect's disciples, four gods and two primordial gods. But their conversation made Xu Lin deeply interested.
Because, the hero of their conversation was the Shangguan that Xu Lin saw on the wanted notice at the city gate.
"That Shangguan, it's too shocking. We have been cultivating for seventy or fifty years, but we have only cultivated to the step of the gods. That guy has only been cultivating for a few years, and now he is already an immortal step. One of the monks of the Divine Step took a sip of wine and said with emotion in his mouth.
"I heard that last time in Qingling Villa, the elders of Tiangong Academy fought with Shangguan. Do you know what the result will be?" said another monk of the Divine Steps.
"How's it going? How's it going?" The two Yuan Shen steps were obviously their junior disciples, and when they spoke, they also had a little respect on their faces.
"As a result, Shangguan and the elders of Tiangong Academy were evenly matched. Although Shangguan only resisted the elder a few tricks and ran away, the result was too shocking. You must know that the elders of Tiangong Academy are all from the step of destiny. The legend of Destiny, that is the existence that we can only look up to. Shangguan is just a cultivator of the immortal step, and he can actually fight against the legend of the Mandate of Heaven. Demon, peerless demon. The man's words were full of spittle, and his face showed a look of great yearning.
"What, Shangguan is actually able to fight against the Legend of the Mandate of Heaven!" As soon as his voice fell, the faces of the other five people present showed shocked expressions. I believe that no matter who hears this result, they will be extremely shocked, Shangguan's cultivation of the Immortal Step can actually fight against the legend of the Mandate of Heaven, and the sentence that all ants under the Mandate of Heaven was broken by Shangguan like this.
When Xu Lin heard this result, his face also showed a look of shock. He originally thought that only he could fight against the Legend of the Mandate of Heaven, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived in the center of Zhongzhou, he heard that another monk could also fight against the Legend of the Mandate of Heaven. Immediately, Xu Lin's interest in this Shangguan in his heart was raised to an infinitely high height.
"By the way, senior brother, how could Shangguan be wanted by Tiangong Academy?" At this time, a junior disciple of the Yuan Shen Step asked his senior brother.
"I don't really know much about this matter, but I happen to be one of those who know, so I'll tell you about it now. Among the six, the Divine Step Monk, who was obviously the leader, spoke.
"Actually, seven years ago, this Shangguan was just a mortal monk. That year, in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, Shangguan participated. Among the nearly one million candidates, Shangguan won the championship with a splendid article that made the world lose color and became the champion of that year. As he spoke, his eyes seemed to see the scene of Shangguan winning the leader at that time.
On the day of the unveiling, Shangguan was led to the Jinluan Hall to meet the current Holy Moon Emperor. As you all know, the Moon Emperor is actually a cultivator, and it is said that his cultivation is not low, as if he is also an elder in the Tiangong Academy. At that time, as soon as he saw Shangguan, he took a fancy to Shangguan's qualifications and accepted him as a disciple. ”
"With the training of the Moon Emperor, Shangguan's cultivation is the rise of the line of fire. And Shangguan's qualifications, that is definitely a peerless demon, in five years, he was promoted to the step of the gods. It is said that the divine spirit seed used by Shangguan to promote the god at that time was exchanged by the Moon Emperor from the Tiangong Academy at a huge price, and it was a super powerful god seed in ancient times. ”
"It's different to have a strong backstage. His juniors and disciples said with emotion.
"A year ago, Shangguan fell in love with Yue Xuxu, the daughter of the Moon Emperor, and that Yue Xuxu was originally going to marry Sun Luoyue, the chief disciple of Tiangong Academy. And that's where it happened. Shangguan and Yue Xuxu's love was carried out in private, but the marriage between Yue Xuxu and Sun Luoyue was decreed by the Moon Emperor. At this time, not only the Moon Emperor was embarrassed, but also the Tiangong Academy was embarrassed. ”
"Yes, one is one of the two holy lands of the Immortal Dao, and the other is the ruler of the largest dynasty above Zhongzhou, the face of both of them cannot be easily destroyed, but Shangguan's peerless demons have made them in a dilemma. Xu Lin listened to it in his ear and thought secretly in his heart.
At this time, there was a shocking news coming out. Shangguan's life story was revealed, and he turned out to be the prince of the Great Chu Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and this Great Chu Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuetang Dynasty. The prince of the former dynasty and the princess of the current dynasty fell in love, and this matter was very popular. ”
The Moon Emperor was furious at that time and ordered Shangguan to be arrested. But he didn't want to be a good official, but he was one step ahead of him, and disappeared from the palace with the moon. At this time, not only the Moon Emperor was angry, but the Tiangong Academy was also angry, after all, Princess Yue Xuxu was already a member of the Tiangong Academy, but she let Shangguan run away like this. So, the wanted warrant came down. ”
