Taiping Inn

The weakness of the ancient witch sect can be said to have a great relationship with the medicine of immortality. The ten witches of Lingshan were divided into two, and the six witches of Kaiming entered the "Xuandu Zifu" and turned against each other. Except for Wu Yang, all the other five people died. Wu Xian was also killed and suppressed by his four sisters. In the Netherworld Valley.

Because of the internal struggle between the Ten Witches of Lingshan, the ancient witch sect grew from prosperity to decline. After paying such a great price, it is naturally reasonable for Wu Xian to have an obsession with the medicine of immortality.

Li Xuan didn't say "can" or "can't", but said: "First of all, there are two points to explain to the great wizard. First, I did not use the complete medicine for immortality, the medicine for immortality at the beginning One part is six, the Earth Master Xu Wugui took two portions, Wu Yang took one portion, and I took three portions. The second point is that my "Eternal Life Stone" and the "Eternal Life Stone" refined by the great wizard himself were combined with the There is no essential difference, but I have been cured by the heavenly tribulation. I don’t want to say anything about what kind of changes have occurred. It’s just that after I got the “Eternal Life Stone”, I did not become crazy like a great wizard.”

At the earliest, the immortal medicine used by the Ten Witches of Lingshan to cure sausage was called "Immortal Medicine". After the reform of the Six Witches, the word "Eternal Life" was added, and it was named "Immortal Medicine" and "Wu Xian improved it" The Immortal Medicine" was the later "Eternal Stone".

After hearing this, Wu Xian thoughtfully said, "The 'Eternal Life Stone' refined by the heavenly tribulation plus half of the immortal medicines, this is a bit complicated."

Li Xuandu asked, "I have already made it clear about the specific situation. I wonder if the great wizard wants it?"

"Yes, of course." Wu Xian did not hesitate, "I want to know where I was wrong."

Li Xuandu said: "Even if the great wizard fully understands it, what can it be? The materials for refining the medicine of immortality are all in the Five Elements Cave Heaven of "Xuandu Purple Mansion". Lu Wushen is guarded by him, and he is also picked by the Kaiming Six Witches. In the past, the great wizard may be a clever wife who can’t cook without rice.”

Wu Xian said, "I heard the truth in the morning and died in the evening. Is it better to give me or not, please give me a good word."

Li Xuan felt a little funny. Although Wu Xian has recovered most of his mind, his temperament has changed a lot. The first half of the sentence is like the great wizard who once served the Emperor of Heaven, but the second half of the sentence is The secular woman spoke.

Li Xuan didn't say much anymore, and reached out and pressed it gently on his chest. A clear air suddenly appeared on his face, making him look like a stubborn stone.

I saw countless green lights burst out between the five fingers of Li Xuandu’s palm pressing on his chest, and then Li Xuandu slowly moved his palm away, with a little green light hanging in his palm, like a fireflies.

For Li Xuandu, he has entered the immortal realm and losing some medicinal properties will not hinder his cultivation. As long as he does not give up the entire "Eternal Life Stone" to others, it will not have much impact.

Wu Xian looked at the little green light in Li Xuandu's palm with a fiery look, his nose wings twitched slightly, and murmured: "Fresh, natural, with a thunderous aura, without a slight smell of blood, it's really a big difference."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and the green light flew towards Wu Xian: "Please prepare early for the great wizard."

Wu Xian reached out to hold the green light, swallowed it directly into his mouth, and smiled and said, "Wu Yang and I served the Emperor of Heaven back then, and now we are allowed to drive the boss."

"I dare not take it, nor dare to compare it with the Emperor of Heaven." Li Xuandu said humbly.

Wu Xian was satisfied and did not intend to talk to Li Xuandu anymore, saying, "Let's go, please let the boss do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Xianglian trembled slightly and her eyes became dazed.

Li Xuan knew that Wu Xian had left, and the next one was the lady of the Yao family.

Sure enough, Yao Xianglian rubbed her eyes, looked at Li Xuandu, and said in confusion: "Are you Miss Qin's husband?"

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Miss Qin asked me to say hello to Miss Yao on her behalf."

Yao Xianglian sighed, "I've become a Taoist nun, I can't get married. I'm working every day, what's better? I'll just live."

Li Xuandu asked, "Ms. Yao feels it's too hard?"

Yao Xianglian hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Xuandu said, "Miss Qin has a friendship with Princess Xuanzhen. She will ask Princess Xuanzhen to take care of Miss Yao more, please don't worry."

Yao Xianglian was happy at first, and then she was a little confused: "I am not a close friend to Miss Qin, why did she help me like this?"

Li Xuandu said, "It's probably because she's got a good relationship, or Miss Yao is lucky and has the secret care of her gods, and she will meet noble people when she goes out."

After saying that, Li Xuan stopped talking and walked straight out of the door.

Yao Xianglian looked at Li Xuandu's back and felt strange, but the statement of "care of gods" reminded her of those bizarre dreams. Could it be that she was really looked at by a god?

...

Inside the imperial palace.

Emperor Tianbao came to pay his respects to his mother as usual, and in addition to him, he also had his queen. After all, the primary premise for the emperor to take power is the emperor's wedding. The Confucian scholar advocated that the empress dowager returned to the emperor for so long, but the emperor could not have married a wife. However, the emperor and the empress have been married for two years and have no children yet.

After asking for peace, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tianbao sat down, and the Empress stood by.

Compared with Empress Dowager Xie, the famous mother-in-law, the queen is really not famous and does not have much weight in the court. This is reasonable. After all, the queen is not from a high birth and her father only enjoys a reputation among the scholars. However, he has never served in the court, nor has he been a high priest of the Confucian clan or academy chief. He can only be said to be a scholarly family. Being noble is a noble person, but no matter how expensive it is, can he be as valuable as the Tian family royal family, which is comparable to the saint's mansion?

In addition, the empress is younger than the emperor. If she were in the martial arts world, Li Xuan would still be regarded as a young person. At her age, she is just a child. The older Wanshou Zhenren, Zang Lao Ren, Ji Tian Wang and others are almost her great-grandfathers.

It is said that the dispute between the emperor and the empress is of course not between the emperor and the empress, but between the emperor and the empress dowager. Now the relationship between the emperor and the empress is tense, but after all, they are mother and son connected by blood, and it has not reached the point of tearing their faces apart. There are also ancestral rules and etiquette constraints. Usually, the mother and son will talk about family matters, so they will not die without contact.

Xie Zhi glanced at his respectful son with a deep look.

After all, Zhang Suqing and other four ministers are also Confucianists. Although the new policies of the four ministers touched the interests of the Confucianists, resulting in the Confucianists not supporting the four ministers, which forced Zhang Suqing and others to seek support from the Taoists, but in order to let the Confucianists sit back and watch the four ministers fail and die, Xie Zhi still has to show some "sincerity".

This "sincerity" is Emperor Tianbao.

Xie Zhi knew that the Confucian sect had placed its bet on Emperor Tianbao. As long as Emperor Tianbao was in their hands, even if the four ministers were gone, she, the empress dowager, would only be in power temporarily. When Emperor Tianbao took power, the world would be theirs again. In addition, the Taoist sect had taken up a lot of the Confucian sect's energy, so the Confucian sect did not act radically in the past few years, and mainly waited.

At that time, she had no right to refuse, so she could only agree.

So over the years, Emperor Tianbao, from teachers to followers, were all Confucianists, and even the choice of the queen was decided by the Confucian sect.

Because of this, Xie Zhi didn't like this daughter-in-law who looked weak, gentle and virtuous. Although the queen didn't argue about everything, was gentle as water, and even a little submissive, which made people unable to find fault, in Xie Zhi's view, she was deep-minded and restrained. She was said to be a Confucian, but she looked like a Taoist. After all, the Supreme Taoist Ancestor said: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending. Only when it does not contend, no one in the world can contend with it."

Doesn't the queen know that the emperor has another Shi Hengbo outside the palace? Most likely she knows, because she is the emperor's favorite, but the queen has no complaints and abides by her duties, which makes the emperor look up to the queen. Although the emperor and the queen are not in love, the emperor respects the queen very much, and the couple can be regarded as respectful to each other on weekdays.

When the queen is pregnant and gives birth to a legitimate son, the legitimate son is established and the officials support him, and he is the prince. No matter how much Shi Hengbo is loved by the emperor, she is just an unofficial concubine. Even if she has a son, she may not even have the title of prince. It's already seen who is superior.

What a fight is not to fight, not to fight is to fight.

Xie Zhi thought about this, and heard Emperor Tianbao say: "Mother..."

"What?" Xie Zhi came back to his senses.

Emperor Tianbao hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I have met Mr. Qingping."

"Li Xuandu." Xie Zhi's face was a little gloomy.

Emperor Tianbao said, "That's right."

Xie Zhi asked, "What did the emperor want to see him for?"

Emperor Tianbao said, "I want to see who is the person who can make the mother, the kings, and the gentlemen feel like they are facing a great enemy."

Xie Zhi asked again, "Then did the emperor see it clearly?"

Emperor Tianbao shook his head, "He... This person is arrogant and rude, and has no respect for the court..."

Xie Zhi interrupted him, "Emperor, let me say something unruly. He has the qualifications."

Emperor Tianbao was silent, but his palms hidden under the sleeves of his wide robe were clenched into fists.

Xie Zhi frowned and was a little puzzled, "Why did you suddenly mention Li Xuandu?"

Emperor Tianbao glanced at the queen beside him and said softly, "Queen, you should go and rest first."

The queen, who had never said a word, bowed and then retreated.

Without Xie Zhi's instructions, the palace maids and eunuchs also withdrew, leaving only the mother and son.

Emperor Tianbao showed an angry look on his face: "Li Xuandu is too much!"

Xie Zhi narrowed his eyes, looked at the anger on his son's face, as if to judge the truth, and asked: "What does the emperor plan to do?"

Emperor Tianbao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said: "I want the gentlemen to try to get rid of this person, but the gentlemen are just perfunctory..."

Xie Zhi sneered: "Gentlemen, you still want to keep this knife to kill someone with a borrowed knife, how can you get rid of this person?"

Emperor Tianbao's face suddenly showed panic: "Mother, why do you say that?"

Xie Zhi looked at Emperor Tianbao deeply: "The emperor knows it in his heart."

Emperor Tianbao whispered: "If the mother says so, the son has nothing to say."

A flash of disgust flashed across Xie Zhi's face: "I am tired, the emperor, please leave."

"The son will leave." The emperor slowly stood up and bowed to the queen mother to leave.
