If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 300: Looking at the Qi
Xiao Yu wrote a report to be shown to the Grand Commandant of Daqin. The Grand Commandant was a living person, so it did not need to be burned.

The divine mace guard took the report and read it carefully, then tilted his head to look at the gauze covering her eyes, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

"It was corroded by the evil power of the monsters from outside the domain." Xiao Yu quickly explained, and then said: "The evil power has been basically eliminated, but my eyes are still a little uncomfortable. It will probably take some time to recover."

"Without your eyes, can you still read and write normally?" Taibao asked.

"I am very telepathic and close to having a clear mind of swordsmanship." Xiao Yu said.

Taibao sneered, "You don't even know what Jianxin Tongming is, and you're still talking nonsense here."

Then he pointed to the last paragraph of the report and said, "You plan to leave Xishu, does the Li family agree?
I heard that you swore by the water and made a ten-year agreement. "

Xiao Yu said, "I have discussed this with Prince Li Xianzhi before. He expressed his understanding and promised that I can leave immediately once the Qin Dynasty orders me to be recruited. Going out for refuge does not count as breaking the oath."

Then she recounted in detail the "Ten-Year Covenant" sworn with water.

"When we swore the oath, we had already considered the possibility that I would be hunted down by the 'Eight Immortals of the West' and forced to flee."

The Divine Mace Guard opened his mouth and glanced at the Dog Meat Taoist priest who had been standing by silently but watching the whole process.

"Taoist, please go out. I have something to say to Yu Fengxian."

The dog-meat Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, without any struggle, he bowed his head and retreated obediently.

The divine mace guard whispered: "The Queen Mother Zhao is now the regent of the Qin State, and she has no intention of establishing a new emperor.

Although the elders of the royal family tried their best to push for the new king to ascend the throne, they had different ideas about the candidate for the new king.

For some reason, Prime Minister Li Si did not support Prince Fusu.

In short, the court of Great Qin is in chaos right now, and you gentlemen have no intention of paying attention to things outside of Xianyang."

He flicked the report lightly with his fingers, "Before Emperor Zheng dies, I can guarantee that your report will be delivered to the Emperor within two days.

Now I can't guarantee anything.

The chief official of the Taiwei Mansion will definitely copy and archive the information you report.

But I don’t know when it will be handled, who will handle it, and what the result will be.”

Taibao sighed softly and said in a complicated tone: "You are already lucky, luckier than many people.

Their report couldn't even get into Xianyang City.

But you can take the path of Taiyi and let your voice be heard by the nobles in the court."

"The situation in the Qin Dynasty has become so chaotic? The Human Emperor has only been dead for a short time!" Xiao Yu frowned.

The Divine Mace Guard said: "It is precisely because the Human Emperor has just died and the new Emperor has not yet ascended the throne that the situation is in chaos.

When the new emperor takes the throne and the chaos ends, the court will surely be completely renewed and return to its past efficiency and order. "

——When Qin II, Hu Hai, ascends the throne, things will only get more chaotic.

As soon as this thought came to Xiaoyu's mind, she hesitated again.

The history of this world has many similarities with the previous life, but there are more differences.

For example, Empress Dowager Zhao, the mother of Emperor Ren Zheng.

Even though she had not read much history, she knew that the story of Queen Dowager Zhao and Lao Ai ended long before the death of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

"When Emperor Ren Zheng was still alive, did Queen Mother Zhao have any male favorites?"

Taibao glared at him and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! The emperor is so powerful that he is feared by everyone. Who dares to humiliate him?"

——So the Queen Mother Zhao in this world had been holding it in for hundreds of years? No wonder she openly kept a male lover after her son died. She really couldn't hold it in any longer.

Xiao Yu complained in her heart, saying: "Even though the emperor is dead, why don't the Qin royal family care about Queen Mother Zhao?"

The Taibao said calmly: "If you dare to control the Queen Mother's clan, can you live to see the death of His Majesty the Emperor?
Although you are born intelligent, you are ultimately an ignorant barbarian.

The affairs of the upper court are very complicated.

The imperial court is not the one you foreigners imagine in your minds, with a sage ruler ruling with ease and wise ministers being impartial and selfless.

Not to mention the court on earth, even the court in heaven——"

Taibao almost slipped up and said something extremely treasonous.

Fortunately, he remembered in time that Yu Fengxian was a jinx and a piece of stinky shit.

In fact, who hasn’t cursed “thief God” behind someone’s back, or said weird or bad things about the Heavenly Court?

Just don't let the Emperor of Heaven hear it.

To slander the Emperor of Heaven in front of Yu Fengxian is almost like slapping the Emperor in the face.

"Well, anyway, I will use my connections at Taiyi Dao to submit your report, but don't have too high or too eager expectations."

Xiao Yu asked, "If the demon cicada really represents Buddhism and is targeted by a Buddhist conspiracy, it would be a big deal for Daqin, right? Isn't such a big deal worthy of being discussed in the court?"

The Divine Mace Guardian stared into her eyes and said, "The Human Emperor once planned to go on an expedition to Lingshan. Did you know that?"

"Expedition to Lingshan? The Human Emperor followed General Bai Qi's advice?" Xiao Yu looked incredulous.

The Divine Mace Guard shook his head and said, “Strictly speaking, the expedition to Lingshan is not aimed at Buddhism, but is an extension of your majesty’s ambitions to the West.

Your Majesty wants to conquer the West, not because there is a Buddha on Mount Lingshan, nor because there has been any conflict between Buddha and the Qin Dynasty.

Your Majesty wants to conquer the West simply because it is there."

Xiao Yu said: "The West is there, and the East, North, and South are also there. Your Majesty the Human Emperor wants to conquer the whole world?"

The Divine Mace Guardian said uncertainly: "The whole world belongs to the king, what's the problem with conquering the four directions?
However, the West seems to be different from other places. I once heard Taoist Master Daogong say that there is another world west of the West.

This world is quite different from the Pangu world we live in."

"Another world?" Xiao Yu was a little confused. "What kind of world is that?"

Taibao said: "I don't know either. But I know very well how powerful the Lingshan Buddha is.

I also know that the Emperor and his advisers are not arrogant fools.

As a result, the plan to conquer the West and take over Lingshan is still taking shape. If it weren’t for the change in destiny——”

The divine mace guardian's eyes flickered, and he immediately ended this sensitive topic, saying: "Human Emperor Zheng is definitely the most wise and powerful Human Emperor in the past 100,000 years.

It can even be said that he is the only "True Emperor" in a hundred thousand years.

Other human emperors have the honorific title of "Human Emperor" but do not have the power of the Human Emperor.

Not to mention that they could command the four wildernesses and eight poles and all living beings in the world to obey, they could not even unify the Southern Continent.

Such a great and wise emperor must have a great and wise plan. Since the Qin Dynasty is openly planning an expedition to Lingshan, the Buddhas of Lingshan are not really selfless.

The court officials had long anticipated that Buddhism would secretly subvert the Qin Dynasty.

Now that the demon cicada has been exposed, they are not shocked at all, but can only sigh, "It is really Buddhism."

Xiao Yu said: "If they had already realized that they would be retaliated by Western Buddhism, why could the mastermind behind the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion still be hiding until now?"

The Divine Mace Guardian sighed, “If the Thirty-Six Kingdoms Rebellion had occurred fifty years ago, the officials in the court would have immediately thought of Buddhism.

However, the Qin Dynasty's plan to conquer the West began a hundred years ago, but was completely shelved fifty years ago.

Who could have thought that the bald monk in Buddhism could be so tolerant and insidious, pretending to be non-confrontational and inactive for nearly a hundred years.

Over the past hundred years, Buddhism has even sent Buddha to the Qin Dynasty to meet the Emperor many times.

Nowadays, temples can be seen everywhere in the Central Plains.”

Xiaoyu felt that Buddhism must have calculated that the Qin Dynasty would lose its destiny.

What was it fifty years ago?
Fifty years ago, a prophecy appeared: "The one who will destroy Qin is Hu."

The guardian glanced outside the palace, put away the report, and said, "Okay, it's daybreak, I should leave now."

Not only was the sky getting brighter outside, but the Taoists also got up and prepared for morning lessons.

Even though there were dog meat Taoist priests trying to stop them, they still kept poking their heads around the front yard.

"What's the situation? What did Taibao tell you?"

After Taibao turned into a beam of golden light and ascended to heaven, the Dog Meat Taoist pulled Xiaoyu to the backyard and asked.

"Alas, it turns out that the Great Qin has offended Buddhism a long time ago. I'm afraid it won't be much of a credit to find out the mastermind this time." Xiao Yu did not hide anything and told all about the shame and embarrassment of the Great Qin court.

"The Qin Dynasty has launched an expedition to the West. I have lived for more than 60 years, but I have never heard of it." Taoist Dog Meat muttered, "There is another world west of the West. It is hard to imagine. I only regret that I am not a celestial being, so I cannot travel the vast sea in the morning and the Cangwu in the evening."

“The expedition to the West has always been in the plan, but it was terminated before it was completed. It’s normal that you haven’t heard about it.

I will go to the West of the West sooner or later to take a look. I'm sure you will not have died of old age by then. I will come back and tell you."

Different from the Taoist Dog Meat's face full of regret and dejection, Xiaoyu's face was full of energy, confidence and yearning.

The dog-meat Taoist priest glanced at her and said, "I can only live to seventy-three in this life. Can you become an immortal in ten years?"

Xiao Yu was stunned. "Have you calculated the date of your death? You are only seventy-three years old, a little short!"

The dog meat Taoist said: “For ordinary people, being over seventy is considered old, and I am just an ordinary person.

As long as you don’t become an immortal, you too——Hey~~"

The old Taoist priest looked her up and down, counted with his fingers, and after a moment he asked in surprise, "Have you found your destiny?"

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "What did you predict? When will the demon cicada come to find me?"

The old Taoist shook his head and said, "I can only see that your forehead is slightly black."

After a pause, he said strangely, "Ever since you killed Ge Qing in Baxia Hutong, your forehead has been dark.

It's just that the degree of darkness is different.

There are too many people who want to kill you and have the ability to do so now, and I can’t even tell that the black air came from the demon cicada.

However, now a ray of flickering auspicious light is visible in the black air, which is a sign of transcendence from the mortal world to the holy one.

It's not that you will reach the level of a saint through martial arts, it's that your lifespan will surpass that of ordinary people.

So I guess you have mastered the method to become an immortal."

"The method to become an immortal." Xiao Yu thought for a moment, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "When I killed Chi Lingzi, I had already obtained the complete method to become an immortal, Chi Lingzi's Blood Spirit Scripture."

"Even if Chi Lingzi is a demon, he is also a hero. How could you torture him into revealing the complete method of becoming an immortal?" said the Dog Meat Taoist in surprise.

"'Hero' also needs comparison. Compared with me, he is just a fool who can be rubbed by me at will." Xiaoyu said proudly.

The dog-meat Taoist priest really wanted to mock her.

But the reality was that even the basic principles of that idiot Chi Lingzi were tortured out of him.

"The Blood Spirit Sutra is very evil, you don't plan to practice it." said the Taoist priest Gou Rou.

Xiao Yu nodded, "I only practiced the first level, controlling and refining the blood in my body. It's very good for training my body and should also be able to be used for 'Slaying the Red Dragon'."

Killing the Red Dragon does not mean literally killing a dragon, but rather it means that the female cultivator cuts off her menstruation. Xiao Yu was twelve years old, she had a good life, she was growing strong, and her period came early.

She touched her face and said, "Look, isn't my face whiter and smoother? This is just the external manifestation of the cleansing of the essence and blood, and the thorough elimination of impurities."

She is not actually black, but she is not too white either.

After all, the sand dune environment is harsh, and even natural beauty cannot withstand the test of the environment.

Recently, her skin has become white and dazzling at a speed that ordinary people can notice.

It is so white that it glows and stands out in the crowd.

Walking on the streets of Tianmen Town, there were suddenly more and more people whispering, "Xiao Fengxian has grown up and become more beautiful."

Taoist Dog Meat said: "You don't plan to practice the Blood Spirit Sutra, so there is no auspicious light on your face."

Xiao Yu thought about it, and then recounted in detail how the old ghost from Minshan "took the initiative" to sell the "Five Thunders Law" for his life.

"Alas, Liu Tianjun was wrong. You will definitely be able to master the Five Thunder Method."

Taoist Dog Meat had a complex expression, with envy, admiration, and confusion, "The leader of Minshan has messed up the mental method, how can you still practice it?"

Xiao Yu said: "I never planned to practice according to the original secret book.

The Heavenly Master's Law can only help the soul ascend, I want my body to become holy."

The old Taoist thought, "Even if you can't practice the Five Thunders Method, with your intelligence, you can still practice magic power.

Compared to a warrior's true essence, the magic power that integrates the rules of heaven and earth can at least help you live two hundred years longer."

If he could extend his life by two hundred years, he would at least be considered an "extraordinary person" and could be called an "immortal master".

Xiaoyu believes that as she becomes an adoptive father and gains more experience, her improved Five Thunder Method will definitely not be weaker than the original version, which is almost out of date.

But she didn't argue with the Taoist priest.

She had a serious expression, with a hint of worry between her brows. "I just got a broken method of becoming an immortal. I haven't even started to modify it, let alone practice it. You can tell at a glance that I have a chance to become an immortal. What about others? Is there any way to stop others from observing my qi and fortune-telling?"
