Chapter 125 Jade Pendant and Golden Tai Chi Book
Two days later, in Tianmen Town, Prince Qinghe's villa.

"There really are more than just eight 'Eight Immortals of the West'. There must be a powerful organization behind them, or some immortals. Real immortals, earthly immortals, or even heavenly immortals."

Li Dan, a clerk at the Lacquer Garden, said with a serious expression: "Master Chi Jiu Luo, Mr. Cui Ling and Taoist Gou Rou have all been to the scene to check and confirmed that no one has buried a magic array or anything like that in Hong Xiu Fang in advance.

No need.

The Thousand-Handed Thief Saint and his men directly detonated the "karma" of Taoist Qingsong.

Of course, "karma" is the term used by Master Chijula, which is a Buddhist term.

The Dog Meat Taoist explained it in a relatively simple and easy-to-understand way. People have three souls and six spirits, and dragon veins are the essence of mountains and rivers.

When people die, they leave resentment and ghosts behind; the same is true for dragon veins after death.

Even more resentment.

Especially those dragon veins that died out naturally without the decline of a dynasty.

Taoist Qingsong not only cut off the dragon veins of the thirty-six western countries.

Over the years, he has been doing similar things for the Qin Dynasty in all directions and regions, and has accumulated a lot of calamity and karma.

It’s just that in the past, he was protected by the dragon energy of the Human Emperor, and was immune to all kinds of attacks and could easily ward off all evil, so he was fine.

Now that the Human Emperor is dead, the dragon energy of the Great Qin is a bit strange. I don’t understand it, and no one in Tianmen Town understands it either.

Anyway, there was an obvious loophole in the protection that the Great Qin dragon energy provided to Taoist Qingsong (ps).

When the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint stole the Human Emperor Order and the List of Gods, he also stuffed a "Heavenly Way to Punish Evil Talisman" on him.

Lingnan Dao Zun, Bi Bo Qing Long and others who were lying in ambush in the lobby on the first floor did not need to suppress Taoist Qingsong, as they did not have the ability to do so.

They just used hand seals and spells to activate the Heavenly Dao Demon-Slaying Talisman, and when Taoist Qingsong subconsciously escaped from the earth, it immediately triggered the backlash of the dragon vein. "

Prince Li Xianzhi asked, "Are you sure that only the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint, Lingnan Sword Master, Fairy Hongfu, Blue Dragon, and Great Sage Tongtian are here?"

Li Dan smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't the five of them scary enough? Let's not talk about others. The Great Sage Tongtian Lang Fuyun, who has supernatural powers and the appearance of a celestial being, even crushed our Shudong True Immortal Zeng Wendao in the past.

Now he died in Hongxiufang for unknown reasons, his golden elixir was not completed, his true spirit sank, and his immortal path collapsed.
I don’t know whether the Western immortals are shocked or feel the absurdity of the impermanence of the world.”

Li Xianzhi also smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Dan has misunderstood, I don't look down on those five immortals.

Let alone five, if any one of them came to Shu, we would be on high alert and respond with caution.

I just wonder, they should not be able to trigger the calamity energy from Taoist Qingsong.

It is true that Lang Fuyun has the appearance of a celestial being, but he ultimately failed to condense his golden elixir and did not become an immortal.

Although he crushed Zeng Wendao back then, supernatural powers are not a state of mind.

Zeng Daxian has now attained true immortality, is free and carefree for eternity, and has escaped the cycle of reincarnation. How can he compare?"

Human immortals also have "golden elixir" - in fact, it is not 'gold' (immortal), it is a 'qi elixir' that can easily decay over time - without condensing the golden elixir, strictly speaking, one cannot even be considered a human immortal.

Prince Qinghe said calmly: "That's why they say there are people, masters behind them, behind the 'Eight Immortals of the West'.

Without guidance from an expert, who could have predicted that Taoist Qingsong was about to be killed?
Can it go further and catalyze a whole set of human, earth and heavenly disasters?"

Li Dan glanced at the prince and said, "Your Highness, recently a large number of nobles from the upper states have gathered in Luodu. Should we strengthen our protection for them?
The reason why Taoist Qingsong encountered disaster this time was certainly due to the secret planning of immortals.

But if Taoist Qingsong had not escorted the nobles of Shangbang across the Liusha River several times, exposing his whereabouts, they would not have found any opportunity to plot against him.

Since they can target Taoist Qingsong, the nobleman from Shangbang escorted by Taoist Qingsong may become the next target."

The Prince of Qinghe pressed his temples in distress and exhaustion, and sighed, "Only those who want to return to the upper country of China can be called 'nobles of the upper country'.

If they cross the Liusha River, whether they live or die, they will remain in the Xisha region. How can they be considered as "nobles of the upper state"? "

"Having said that, too many nobles of the Great Qin have died. How angry will the Great Qin court be? How will they reprimand you and the king?" Li Dan said helplessly.

The Crown Prince Li Xianzhi smiled and said, “Father, Uncle Dan, don’t worry too much.

I think the 'Eight Immortals of the West' will not attack the nobles from Daqin. There are three reasons!"

He raised his index finger and said, "First of all, although it may be a bit disrespectful, Taoist Qingsong died, and his death was very tragic.

Unlike the disastrous defeat at Feixiandu Shooting the Sun, this time the 'Eight Immortals of the West' achieved their goal.

An important envoy of the Qin Dynasty has been successfully killed. He has gained both face and money. He has expressed his intention of warning and revenge. It's time to quiet down. There's no need to vent his anger on ordinary nobles.

Secondly, as my father said, the nobles from the Qin Empire who crossed the sea to the west were no longer "distinguished guests from a superior state"; they were already considered Xisha people.

There is no point in killing them, and it will be harmful to the overall situation in the Xisha region.

No matter what our attitude towards the "migration of culture and talents to the West" is, we must admit that the prosperity of culture and military in the West was thanks to the Central Plains people who migrated from the East.

Finally, immortals need to save face and avoid being killed.

As an immortal, slaughtering ordinary warriors is not only shameful, but also excessive, which is against the harmony of nature and not worth it! "

Li Dan's face was full of approval. He twirled his beard and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Your Highness is right!"

There was also a look of satisfaction in the eyes of the Prince of Qinghe, but he still pondered and said: "Remind them not to leave Luodu in the near future and not to wander around the streets.

In addition, the newly formed Luye Guards will be transferred to the inner city, and each noble will be assigned a Luye team to serve them."

Li Dan smiled and said, “Whether we can really protect them or not is not very important.

The important thing is to let Daqin know how much we value the nobles from Xidu, and know that we from Xishu have done our best. "

Li Xianzhi was stunned and thought to himself: My father is indeed experienced. I still have a lot to learn!

He asked, "What should Yu Fengxian do? She is the one in the most dangerous situation.

Not to mention the real immortals behind the 'Eight Immortals of the West'.

Which immortal doesn’t have a large family and wealth and is the overlord of a region?

For example, the Monkey King built his mansion on the banks of the Tongtian River within the borders of Chechi State. He had three thousand concubines, hundreds of children, and, including his disciples, more than twenty human immortals.

Tongtianfu is so powerful that it dominates the 18,000-mile section of Tongtian River. No one dares to provoke it. Can it easily give up the hatred for killing its father and destroying its teacher?
There is also Fairy Hongfu, and many fairy friends from all over the world, too many to count. "

At this point, Li Xianzhi touched his nose, his eyes twinkling as he said, "Don't be afraid of being laughed at by father and Uncle Dan. Lian Xianzhi has admired her for a long time. It is said that she was even invited to visit Penglai Fairy Island.

If Yu Fengxian was killed one day, I would have no idea who killed her.

There are too many immortals who have the ability and willingness to kill her."

“Yu Fengxian” Prince Qinghe began to have a headache again, “I am not afraid that the immortal will seek revenge on her. After all, after the battle of Feixiandu, I received news from Wanshou Mountain that Zhou Lang had expressed his position to Kong Zan’s master and family - give him face and leave Yu Fengxian to him.

When he recovers from his injuries and refines the 'Big Dipper Sword' again, he will personally settle the cause and effect.

Now even if there are several or dozens of human immortals who want to kill her, I don’t feel anything.

I'm just worried that they will blame me for everything.

Don't forget why the Guan family was so eager to abandon "Guan Yu".

At first, Guan Huchen was planning to borrow a human immortal from me.

The human immortal and Guan Chenghuang could barely save the Guan family and Guan Yu.

Now, unless a golden immortal jumps out and takes Yu Fengxian as his disciple.

But Yu Fengxian is a tough person with a lowly fate. She is not afraid of death. But our Li family cannot do that!"

Li Dan also sighed in distress, "We laughed at the Guan family for being unwise that day, but now I think that Guan Laozu is indeed a cautious person, and he made decisions decisively and resolutely."

"Father, you are worrying too much. Yu Fengxian doesn't live in our Li family. She is in Hongxiufang!" Li Xianzhi said. "Who doesn't know that Hongxiufang is the property of the palace? When the Guan family handed Yu Fengxian over to the Li family, they didn't hide it from anyone." The prince said.

"You also said that Yu Fengxian was handed over to us by the Guan family. The fact that you placed her in the Jiaosifang instead of the palace has already shown your distant attitude of handling official matters impartially." Li Xianzhi said.

The prince nodded and said, "Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to express, and they must understand.

But if you understand it, you can definitely accept it?

Take Fairy Hongfu's fairy friends for example. If any of them get carried away by passion, how can they still have reason?"

"All immortals are rational, so they won't get carried away so easily." Li Xianzhi shook his head disapprovingly, "Take myself as an example, I admire Fairy Hongfu, this is a fact.

But I am also a little afraid of Yu Fengxian.

That guy is so weird.

He killed Kong Zan inside the Qimen Escape Formation, saw through the 'Thousand Hands Moving Technique' that Taoist Qingsong and Taoist Suiyuanzi had not seen through, and activated the Investiture of the Gods. None of these could be explained by luck.

If her existence was not related to the fate of Shu, I would have suggested that my father simply give her a bag of silver and send her away from Shu."

Their status as royal family of Shu State played an important role in the resources and immortal fate they have today.

If Shu Kingdom loses its national fortune, they will not be left with nothing, but they will definitely lose most of their existing resources and gradually become mediocre.

Prince Qinghe smiled bitterly and nodded, "I know your heart! If you can get rid of her, let alone a huge sum of silver, it wouldn't matter if I gave her an extra opportunity."

It is indeed very tempting to cultivate a human immortal fighting force under one's own control.

But if that "future human immortal" has too many causes and effects and is being targeted by dozens or hundreds of more powerful human immortals, he would rather stay away from him.

Li Dan said: "This morning I went to Hongxiufang to find Yu Fengxian, and she told me in detail about the assassination last night.

Good luck indeed.

The reason why Taoist Qingsong went to find her at that time was to redeem the reward for killing Kong Zan.

Everyone knows the bounty offered by Marquis Lieyang: the position of City God.

To be conferred the title of City God, one must sign the List of Gods.

Before the assassination began, she saw the List of Gods and aroused the evil spirit of the soldiers in the List of Gods.

If Taoist Qingsong hadn't suppressed her, she would have been able to activate the List of Gods at that time.

As a result, the Thousand-Armed Thief stole the Investiture of the Gods right in front of her. She didn't know what the Great Moving Technique was, but she could sense the murderous aura of the Investiture of the Gods. If this isn't luck, what is?
If it was Lingnan Dao Zun or Tongtian Dasheng who came looking for her instead of Zong Erbu, her body might have been torn into two on the spot.

But as luck would have it, the person who came to find her was Zong Erbu who was carrying the List of the Gods.

She directly detonated the evil energy in the sea of ​​blood and activated the List of Gods.

Human immortals are indeed powerful, but facing a peerless weapon like the Investiture of the Gods, even a true immortal may not be able to withstand it."

Prince Qinghe also looked at his son and said, "She is just lucky, born with wisdom and favored by heaven. If not, why would Guan Huchen travel thousands of miles to Shaqiu to capture her?
Even though Guan Huchen and Taoist Qingsong went to the dunes, they were unable to find her in the first place.

She almost escaped from under their noses.”

"If it's pure luck, it would be even more terrifying. The righteous immortals are most reluctant to go against fate." Li Xianzhi said.

“Of course it’s not just luck. After absorbing a ray of evil spirit from the Investiture of the Gods, her Tiger Soul Seven Killings seemed to have reached perfection, and she also comprehended more than a dozen kinds of chaotic sword intent.

You can say she is lucky, but you can't say she relies entirely on luck." Li Dan said.

“Hiss, Tiger Soul’s Seven Kills has reached perfection. Doesn’t that mean it’s about to break through to the human immortal level?” Li Xianzhi, who was half a step away from becoming a human immortal, said in shock.

The Prince of Qinghe shook his head and said, "The Guan family's Tiger Soul Seven Killings follows the path of evil. It is powerful and strange, and can kill ghosts and frighten gods, but it is not the proper Taoist immortal martial arts. It will never be able to condense the Yuandan and become a human immortal.

If not, why did Guan Huchen switch to practicing the "Fire Crow Power"?
Moreover, to make the Human Immortal Yuandan, one needs to cultivate both the body and the soul. The perfection of the mind alone is far from enough.

Yu Fengxian is still in the Inner Qi realm at the moment. She needs to communicate with the natural forces of heaven and earth first, and then polish herself for several decades before there is a glimmer of hope. "

Li Dan shook his head and said, "There is little hope. She has a slight limp."

"Cripple?" Li Xianzhi was puzzled. "When did Yu Fengxian become lame?"

"It's not that she's lame, it's that her legs are a little different in the way of immortal martial arts. The breathing technique she practices is the "Male Dragon Skill". The internal force she has cultivated cannot be integrated with the sword intent of killing, and cannot be linked to life and death. How can she condense the Yuandan?" Li Dan said.

Li Xianzhi suddenly realized, "Even Lao Shenxian can't make a pill, she only knows how to practice the "Xiong Long Gong". She can change to the breathing technique! Have you reminded her?"

"Of course! Even if she has a heavy karma and cannot be approached, I still have to express my gratitude.

On behalf of the prince, I have presented her with the first volume of the Jade Pendant and Gold Ornament Tai Chi Golden Book as a reward for her protection of the envoys from the upper state." Li Dan said.

Li Xianzhi was surprised and asked, "Is it Li Manman's Jade Pendant and Gold Tai Chi Golden Book? That is her immortal fate. Why did you give it away?"

Li Dan said calmly: "Without the prince's full support, how could she get the chance to enter the 'Red Cloud Immortal Mansion'? Moreover, Miss Li Manman had already handed over all the jade books to the prince.

The prince can dispose of his things at will."

Prince Qinghe sighed, "I will understand it slowly. Yu Fengxian's killing of Tongtian Dasheng, Hongfu Fairy and others did cause a lot of trouble, and also affected the palace.

But we all have to admit that she made great contributions to Xishu and Daqin last night.

Apart from anything else, she at least avenged Sui Yuanzi on the spot, and we can barely give an explanation to Wanshou Mountain."

Li Xianzhi seemed to understand something.

Hongxiufang is the property of the royal palace, and the people in Hongxiufang are the people of Prince Qinghe. If Yu Fengxian is not rewarded this time, who will work for them and their son in the future?

"With the Jade Pendant and Golden Book of Tai Chi, her shortcomings will soon be made up," he said.

Li Dan still shook his head and said, "There is a chance, but it is very difficult!

It’s not that her internal energy is too weak.

In fact, the speed at which her internal strength improved was astonishing.

In just over a month, it is equivalent to four or five years of hard practice for others.

This is because Doctor Min has integrated the sword bone spirit into her blood, so she will never lack internal strength before she becomes a human immortal.

It's not that the internal force makes the legs short, it's that the sword intent is too much and too complicated, and the legs are too long."

“So she may not necessarily become a human immortal, but her future strength will definitely far exceed that of ordinary human immortals.” Li Xianzhi said.

This time, Li Dan agreed with his words and nodded, "Yes, realm improvement can bring about a qualitative change in a cultivator's strength, but realm does not equal absolute strength.

It may be difficult for her to condense her inner elixir, but her swordsmanship is superb and she can slay ghosts and frighten immortals.

As long as we help her get through this disaster, she will definitely be a great help to the prince and the crown prince in the future."

"Help her." The prince smiled bitterly and said, "What we should consider first is not how to help her get through this disaster, but to ensure that we are not implicated by her."

Li Dan said solemnly: "Of course, from now on, the guards of the prince, the prince, the princess and the princess will all be tripled and equipped with heavy armor and powerful crossbows.

Try not to go out recently.

If you must leave the house, you must be accompanied by at least two human immortals, one who is good at reconnaissance and the other who is good at escape.

It would be best if you could send a letter to Wanshou Mountain and ask an earthly immortal to take charge of the palace."

Prince Qinghe shook his head, "Don't even think about it. I can't control the earth immortals."
