Behind me is the earth

Early the next morning, after taking a bath and burning incense, Zhou Zhi followed the people from the palace and entered the palace with Lan Feng to meet the saint.

Only two palace attendants came to pick her up, and she and Lan Feng were the only ones entering the palace, which seemed a bit shabby.

There is a huge difference from the treatment Su Lingshan received when he was in Yanzhao.

However, this is also the price paid by Suringshan after making a mistake in betting.

Shangshui Fang was very close to the palace, but the palace still sent a black car. Sitting on the sofa inside the car, Zhou Zhi felt the softness of the sofa with her buttocks, feeling a little novel.

Listening to the piano music in the car and looking at the driver's face reflected in the mirror, it was as clear as looking directly at his face. It wasn't until the driver couldn't help but glance at her through the mirror that she withdrew her gaze.

After getting off the car and stepping into the palace, Zhou Zhi's heart gradually became nervous.

In her mind, she kept reviewing the questions that King Qi might ask her, simulating how to answer the true dragon's words in a pretentious and elegant way.

Zhou Zhi feels that she is under a lot of pressure. She is now the hope of the whole mountain. If Master Qinghui hadn't been at a critical moment in his cultivation, he would have taken action personally at this moment.

"If it were Master, he wouldn't be as embarrassed as me, right?"

Zhou Zhi thought.

At least, Yunlongguan did not dare to send people to intercept and kill them. They would not die so many people.

The person who came to take her into the palace now should not only have this kind of ostentation.

Beside her, Lan Feng was thinking about how her former "elder brother" would face the king after meeting him later.

Lan Feng didn't know what attitude the king would take towards him.

Soon, after passing the Second Palace Gate and entering the Second West Palace, the guards immediately became tighter.

Zhou Zhi looked at Qi and could see the guard standing at the door of Xi Er Mansion. The powerful aura on his body made the "qi" around him become slightly distorted. However, the Qi that Zhou Zhi is looking for is not Qi in the traditional sense such as water vapor and air, but spiritual Qi.

This shows that this guard has developed inner Qi. According to the "Qi" momentum around him, he should be in the Yin Yuan realm.

Zhou Zhi’s case was judged.

After passing the Second West Mansion, she saw the people beside the flower beds in the courtyard. The fire element around them was particularly strong, as if every friction would ignite them. Opposite this person is a strange person with dense water elements around his body.

Her eyes rolled around, secretly observing the people here through the veil.

However, she didn't dare to stare at others. Whether they were warriors or strangers, their spiritual senses were often very keen. It was like she was in the car just now, staring at the driver through the rearview mirror through her veil, and was noticed by the other party.

Fortunately, she was thick-skinned and didn't show it.

"There are also medical aliens, metal aliens, and the guard leader at the door should be a warrior of the Insight Realm!

The guards around His Royal Highness King Qi are the most complete, reasonable, and powerful that I have ever seen.

Compared to King Qi, the guards around Zhu Kan are much weaker, and most of them are from Suling Mountain. "

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a pain in her head.

Providing bodyguard services is also one of the benefits that Suring Mountain has prepared for Qianlong.

And with the protective force around King Qi, they, Suring Mountain, have no negotiating advantage in this aspect.

"Please take out your space equipment and we will keep it for you temporarily."

When Zhou Zhi came outside the hall, a guard held a tray and said.

"ah?"

Zhou Zhi touched her space bracelet.

This is a black Pixiu bracelet, which makes her skin fairer.

It contained most of her family fortune, a change of clothes, and some favorite things. If anyone saw it, it would definitely kill her.

Although she was a little worried, but thinking about the importance of this trip, she took it back and put it on the tray.

"Xuan, Taidao Suling Mountain Saint Zhou Zhi comes to visit!"

A high-pitched voice came from Yuanhe Hall, and Zhou Zhi was immediately led into the main hall.

Lan Feng was waiting outside.

Zhou Zhi raised her foot and stepped across the threshold, quietly looking through the veil at King Qi, who was sitting on the royal platform and wearing a black dragon-patterned robe.

Eye to eye.

The other party's gaze seemed to have penetrating power, passing through the veil and actually colliding with hers.

This shocked Zhou Zhi.

The qi-watching technique was ineffective in front of King Qi!

She couldn't see the depth of King Qi.

I just feel that this king is very oppressive, which is completely different from when I faced Zhu Kan.

Just when he was about to receive the gift, King Qi on the imperial stage spoke first.

"When you come to the palace to meet me, don't you think it's impolite to wear a hat on your head?"

Ren Pingsheng leaned back, folded his arms, and stared at Zhou Zhi.

"As a poor man in the mountains, if you are disrespectful, I hope your highness will forgive you."

Zhou Zhi took off the bamboo hat on her head. She originally wanted to put it into the space bracelet, but found that she had already handed it over. It was a little embarrassing to hold it in her hand like this.

Ren Pingsheng stood up, stood on the imperial platform, and looked down at Zhou Zhi.

After this Taoist nun took off her bamboo hat, because of her cold white skin, in the hall, which was slightly dim after closing the door, the light from the window lattice behind her reflected on her body, and she looked so white that she was about to shine.

As for her appearance, although she is beautiful, she seems too cold.

Wearing a navy blue robe, he has a somewhat free and easy temperament.

"You shouldn't have come."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"ah?"

Zhou Zhi felt that she could not catch up with what King Qi said.

Ren Pingsheng commented: "With your temperament of wandering clouds and wild cranes, you should cultivate yourself in the mountains instead of coming to the world to acquire these tacky things."

No one had ever said such a thing to her, and she had never thought of such a topic in the couple she reviewed over and over again.

After a silent silence, Zhou Zhi said: "Pindao came here under orders. It is our long-cherished wish in Suring Mountain to be able to reconcile with Qi State.

If we can help Qi to defeat the Daru Empire, it is our wish in Suring Mountain.

Here, we are also responding to Qi's call for a united front against Daru, and we are here to contribute to Qi's efforts to repel the Daru people! "

She went straight to the point, trying to get the topic back on track.

"good."

Ren Pingsheng took a step forward, stood on the steps, folded his hands on his chest, and said condescendingly: "I am deeply gratified by Su Lingshan's heart."

Zhou Zhi listened and saw that after King Qi finished speaking, there was no more words.

What about below?

Why didn't King Qi follow the routine? According to the previous review, since King Qi agreed to Su Lingshan's audience, shouldn't he express his welcome at this time or discuss the conditions? topic.

What does it mean to be silent?

"Great Immortal Court and Suring Mountain are also involved?"

On the surface, Zhou Zhi seemed to be standing there blankly, but in fact, a fierce brainstorming was going on in his brain, Ren Pingsheng suddenly asked.

"ah?"

Zhou Zhi, who was instantly pulled out of the brainstorm, was startled when he heard this and said in surprise: "Did Yunlong Guan even say this?"

"Tell me about it."

When Ren Pingsheng's mind power covered the whole city, he heard Master Qingyuan say the three words "Great Immortal Court" several times, but he kept it secret every time and never explained in detail what the Great Immortal Court meant.

This is also one of the important reasons why he does not trust Yunlong Guan enough.

"Your Highness, regarding the Great Immortal Court, this is a statement that is not spread among the top five people. In fact, it has been passed down for countless years and has been recorded since ancient times.

It's just that in the records of the Great Immortal Court, the statement of 'creating the Supreme Immortal Court and suppressing the Three Realms and Six Paths' is too sensational and is not tolerated by the kings of the world. For the better development of the Taoist sect, it is not disclosed to the public. "

Zhou Zhi explained.

Ren Pingsheng raised his head and looked at the four- to five-meter-high nanmu gate behind Zhou Zhi, and the sunlight shone in wisps.

According to what Zhou Zhi said, terms such as "Supreme Immortal Court" and "Suppression of the Three Realms" will indeed arouse the dissatisfaction of the king. This is a specific statement that puts divine power above imperial power. If Taoism holds this doctrine, I am afraid that I will be labeled as a cult by the emperor.

The emperor of this world offers sacrifices to ancestors, heaven, and gods, but there is no theory of heaven governing the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans.

"I think it's not just the fear of the emperor's intolerance, but the Taoist sect really has ideas and plans to create the glory of the Great Immortal Court.

Especially the Taiyi Road represented by Suring Mountain! "

Ren Pingsheng lowered his head slightly and looked at Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi looked at His Highness who was looking down at her from the royal platform, and felt an invisible pressure pressing on her body.

The words "A companion to a king is like a tiger to a companion" filled her mind with an extremely concrete explanation.

It seemed that if she answered incorrectly, King Qi would immediately expel her.

Zhou Zhi, who shouldered the hope of Suling Mountain, felt a lot of pressure.

"Your Highness clearly knows that Su Lingshan has never thought about it. In order to seek for the Heavenly One to appear in the world, Yunlong Mountain may not have told His Highness everything.

It is still doubtful whether the Great Immortal Court Plan is real.

It is even more impossible to talk about consecrating gods and creating a great fairy court. "

Zhou Zhi quickly explained.

She had even imagined the scene of Yunlong Guan slandering Su Lingshan in front of the king.

"Now, in the land of Yan and Zhao, isn't Suling Mountain building a temple and consecrating the gods? The Five Elements Talisman Soldiers made a great name on the battlefield against Daru."

Ren Pingsheng frowned slightly.

I was thinking in my heart that the Qingyuan Taoist built a temple at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain and enshrined the gods. Could this be the reason behind it?

"Your Highness, the gods decreed by Heaven are the gods of the five elements of nature. They originally existed between heaven and earth. They are natural beauties that have no human consciousness and are even selfless. What we do is just gathering the spirits of nature and using the help of them. It’s just the power of the spirit of nature.

It has nothing to do with the Great Immortal Court. "

Zhou Zhi explained.

"So, the Great Immortal Court consecrates gods with human consciousness to control the mountains and rivers and control the three realms and six paths?"

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"Your Highness is right. However, this is just an ancient rumor that exists in Taoist scriptures. No one has ever seen the Great Immortal Court with their own eyes, and no one has ever really seen the ancient gods who can communicate with humans. "

Zhou Zhi said.

She saw King Qi walking down the imperial platform one step at a time.

Until he came to her.

He was very tall, a head taller than her.

She raised her head and saw the other person's mouth.

There was a smile on his lips, and he was still wearing a gorgeous black dragon robe with gold patterns, but the cold feeling just now was gone. From the high-altitude look just now, it seemed as if he had finally landed down to earth.

"If Sulingshan wants to join the Qi Kingdom, it must show its value. Yunlongguan has been with me for a long time, and there is no credit but hard work.

If Suring Mountain cannot reflect enough value, it cannot become the state religion of Qi. Do you understand? "

Ren Pingsheng said very straightforwardly.

"Pindao understands."

Zhou Zhi only felt that today's meeting completely broke all her rehearsals, and all the conversations were far beyond her expectations. She was always being led by the nose.

"Suling Mountain's records about the ancient times and the records about the Great Immortal Courtyard plan were sent to the palace.

This king gave Su Lingshan the qualification to preach in Caiyun Province. "

Ren Pingsheng said.

"But······"

Zhou Zhi raised her head and wanted to argue that their mountain gate was originally in Suling Mountain and they preached in Suling Mountain.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she shouldn't argue about it.

King Qi’s words have two meanings.

First, Suling Mountain originally preached. Although it was endorsed by the Jing Dynasty, now the Jing Dynasty has been destroyed. Caiyun Province is the territory of Qi State. The preaching in Suring Mountain is legal only with the permission of the King of Qi.

Second, the King of Qi allowed Su Lingshan to preach in Caiyun Province, which also accepted Su Lingshan's status in Qi as legal. From then on, it was officially endorsed.

As for the rest, you have to fight for it yourself after Suring Mountain shows its own value.

Speaking of which, although the purpose of Suring Mountain is somewhat unsatisfactory, it has finally been achieved.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I will convey Your Highness's request to Master."

Zhou Zhi said, thinking about sending the news back quickly.

Tianyi Yiyi has been operating in Qi State for a long time. If Su Lingshan wants to gain a firm foothold in Qi State and become the state religion of Qi State in the future, he must compete for the first place.

This is also the price Suring Mountain has to pay.

Fortunately, Qi State has just regained the south. Outside Wuzhou, Tianyi Yiyi's strength cannot be compared with Taiyiyi. As long as the King of Qi is satisfied, Tianyiyi's expansion speed will not be slow.

After chatting for more than an hour, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she walked out of Yuanhe Hall.

Being with this King of Qi is really stressful!

When Zhou Zhi left the palace, he saw Taoist Priest Qingyuan in front of the palace gate.

"Uncle Qingyuan."

Zhou Zhi showed a bright smile, saluted and left quickly.

Taoist Priest Qingyuan saw Zhou Zhi's true face for the first time and her bright smile, and his mood suddenly became very bad.

It seems that Suring Mountain’s goal has been achieved!

This terrible guy is so presumptuous!

"Taoist Priest Qingyuan, your Majesty has important matters to do today. Please come back tomorrow, Taoist Priest."

When he heard that the king refused to meet him, Qingyuan Taoist felt even more uncomfortable.

Have I fallen out of favor?

When the old Taoist from Qingyuan returned to Yunlong Temple, the north wind began to blow.

The temperature in Qidu has entered quick-freezing mode, and it has snowed for several days.

Heavy snow hampered traffic and there were fewer people on the streets.

At this time, telegrams began to be sent intensively from Xinpan Province, Wacheng, Guguo County, Nanyang and other places. (End of chapter)
