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

Chapter 506: The True Weight of the Qingshui River Oath
On the street outside Tianbaoju.

"How?" Xuan Yin asked.

Li Jingyu said: "Zeng Wendao originally planned to give up revenge for Guan Chenghuang, but I used the story of 'Yu Rang Stabbing His Clothes' to make him change his mind."

"Yu Rang embroidered his clothes." Xuan Yin only thought about it for a moment and understood Li Jingyu's intention.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "Yu Fengxian is Zhao Xiangzi, and Zeng Wendao is Yu Rang? It's not auspicious!"

Yu Rang failed to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi in the end, and Zhao Xiangzi was in high spirits and lived a very carefree life.

"It's enough to convince Zeng Wendao to change his mind. We don't have to worry about whether it's auspicious or not," said Li Jingyu.

Xuan Yin frowned slightly.

He is not just an ordinary person who wants to please others.

He said it was not auspicious and it was just a sudden impulse after hearing about "Yu Rang Embroidering His Clothes".

Although Yu Fengxian had the advantage of terrain last night, it was also the time when the gap in Taoism between her and Zeng Wendao was the greatest.

Yu Fengxian only came into contact with immortal martial arts half a year ago.

When will they meet next time?
A few months, a few years later? What would Yu Fengxian's strength and realm be by then?

Zeng Wendao had also been very brave and diligent in his early years. He ascended to become an immortal within ten years, shocking the Liusha Region and was a legend that is rarely seen in a thousand years.

But after becoming a true immortal, the growth of his Taoism began to slow down.

Zeng Wendao said that he might not be able to recover in a few months or years.

After all, he was seriously injured at this time, and his origin was damaged.

If he fights with Yu Fengxian again at that time, perhaps Yu Fengxian can win without relying on the advantage of geographical location.

In this way, Zeng Wendao really became the "Yu Rang of Shudong" who failed in his revenge attempts many times.

Alas, when I think about it this way, Zeng Wendao is really a bit pitiful!

"Yu Fengxian released Zeng Wendao. How does he plan to repay this kindness?" he asked.

The Prince of Qinghe said, "Although I made him change his mind, he always insisted on repaying Yu Fengxian for sparing his life first, and then deciding how to avenge Guan Chenghuang."

Xuan Yin Zhenren wanted to complain again, "I haven't even decided how to take revenge on Yu Fengxian. How can I take revenge? I guess it will end up in nothing."

It really ended up in nothing, which might be a good thing for Zeng Wendao.

At least you don’t have to worry about becoming the tragic “Yu Rang of Shudong”.

Li Jingyu said: "I don't really care whether or how he takes revenge.

I'm looking for Yu Fengxian, but I don't necessarily have to kill her.

I mainly want to find out how 'The Last Fairy' is related to her."

Xuan Yin nodded slightly, "You are still rational."

Li Jingyu sighed, "I can't be irrational. The inheritance of the Ancient Dragon Palace is my destiny and the greatest hope of the Li family.

I confessed to Zeng Wendao about the ancient Dragon Palace inheritance.

He promised to look for Yu Fengxian after his injuries healed.

When Yu Fengxian was in danger, he helped her out to repay her favor and also asked about the "immortal fate" for me.

I promise that the Li family will not interfere with the lives of the remaining Guan family members in Xishu."

The so-called non-interference means not taking the initiative to clean up.

“Just asking Yu Fengxian may be useless.”

Xuan Yin Zhenren hesitated and said, "A few words, a few questions, even if she answered sincerely and without hiding anything, it would not be able to resolve the cause and effect that has already been formed."

“We definitely can’t put all our hopes on Zeng Wendao. If he can find Yu Fengxian, so can we.

He can at least help us test Yu Fengxian's attitude. Alas, we can't rely on him in the short term. His injuries are too serious and he needs several months of recuperation.

While searching for Yu Fengxian's traces, I intend to follow the master's previous plan and conduct a large-scale search for objects, people, landscapes, etc. related to the 'Golden Carp' in Yingxiang Prefecture."

Li Jingyu looked at Xuan Yin expectantly, "What do you think, Master?"

"This time is different from before. Well, you try it. Doing something is better than doing nothing." Xuan Yin sighed.

This is a bit depressing.

Li Jingyu asked nervously, "Does the master have any better plan?"

Xuan Yin Zhenren tucked his right hand into his sleeve, calculated a few times quickly, and asked, "Is there anyone in Yingxiang Prefecture who is familiar with Yu Fengxian's secrets?"

Li Jingyu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the Taoist Dog Meat from Xianyun Temple and the monk Chi Jiu Luo from Faneng Temple are both good at spying on the secrets of heaven, and they are also close friends with Yu Fengxian."

Then he asked in confusion: "What's the point of looking for them? Can they figure out Yu Fengxian's location?"

Xuan Yin Zhenren said: "I want them to tell Yu Fengxian's fortune!"

An hour later, Xianyunguan entered the backyard and the quiet and elegant guest room.

Xuanyin and Li Jingyu sat at the top, drinking tea silently from their tea bowls.

The dog meat Taoist priest hurried in and bowed to the two of them repeatedly, "Master, Your Majesty, I was just at Mr. Cui's house outside the city, performing a ritual to ward off disasters and pray for blessings, and I couldn't stop halfway.

I apologize for keeping you two waiting for so long."

He was running with sweat all over his face and a thick layer of dust on his forehead.

Sweat formed lines and left obvious grooves on his face.

"The prince and I came to visit suddenly and disturbed your ritual. We are rude." Xuanyin stood up and returned the greeting.

"I dare not, I dare not, Master, just call me 'Yun Qing'." The Dog Meat Taoist waved his hand.

Xuan Yin Zhenren first asked him to sit down beside him, and said with a smile: "You and I are both from the Taiyi Xuan Sect. At this moment, you are the host and I am the guest. Calling each other "Daoist Brother" is basic etiquette. How can there be any "dare not"? "

The dog-meat Taoist priest spoke a few more humble words, drank a cup of tea, and calmed himself before asking the two distinguished guests about their purpose of visit.

"Brother Taoist, before I went down the mountain, you and Master Chijiuluo had been helping the prince find the immortal fate in the ancient Dragon Palace, right?" Xuan Yin asked.

Taoist Dog Meat looked at the Prince of Qinghe and shook his head, saying, "Your Highness did tell me about the Dragon Palace inheritance, but my ability is limited, so I only did a few small things for you.

I dare not say how much I know about the Ancient Dragon Palace."

Li Jingyu said: "After Ge Qingyun smashed my spine, you said that my destiny had been lost and that forcing for immortal fate was futile."

The dog meat Taoist priest said awkwardly, "Your Highness has misunderstood. I told the prince at that time that since the Heavenly Emperor was angry and had cut off your fortune, no matter how much I did with my shallow tricks, it would be in vain and I would not be able to help you restore your fortune. It is because my ability is limited and I cannot go against the will of the Heavenly Emperor. It does not mean that your great undertaking will not succeed."

Li Jingyu said woodenly: "From the results today, it seems that you are right."

The dog meat Taoist priest was surprised and asked, "What's going on now?"

Xuan Yin Zhenren said: "Just the day before yesterday, when He Xuan was beheaded, I met Prince Li.

Everything was fine then. I wouldn’t say I helped the prince to restore the fortune that was cut by the Emperor of Heaven, but at least I inherited the destiny of the Ancient Dragon Palace and maintained it temporarily.”

The dog meat Taoist priest immediately flattered him with a face full of admiration, "You can actually reverse the will of heaven. Your skills are extraordinary. I admire you very much!"

This flattery is quite sincere.

Because he really couldn't help Li Jingyu.

Compared with the kings of Shu throughout history and the monarchs of other kingdoms in the Xisha region, Li Jingyu was already a rare wise ruler.

He has inherited the ancient Dragon Palace, which is beneficial to the prosperity of Western Shu and the people's peace and happiness, free from foreign enemies and monsters. The dog meat Taoist priest is happy to help him get what he wants.

The last time I rejected Li Xianzhi was purely because I knew it was impossible and I was powerless to do anything.

If you force it, not only will it not help Li Jingyu, it will also hurt yourself.

There are only a hundred disadvantages and no advantages, so I don't want to wade into muddy water.

"But Prince Li agreed to conspire with Yaochan and the Guan family to capture the Immortal Queen Yufeng. The prince had an ominous premonition and felt that he had lost his chance to become an immortal." Xuanyin Zhenren continued, "I calculated carefully, mainly the prince's fate.

The discovery of the Qingshui River oath has a huge impact on the gains and losses of immortal fate beyond our imagination. "

The dog meat Taoist priest blurted out, "Isn't this obvious? Why is it so hard to imagine?"

After he said this, he realized that the two people opposite him were of noble status, and that he was being too reckless in his words and actions.

He apologized awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I said that. Please forgive me. Well, please continue."

Xuan Yin Zhenren looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother Daoist, we came here today to ask for your help. Please be frank with us. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be shy about anything."

Taoist Dog Meat scratched the back of his head and said, "This is just my humble opinion. If what I said is wrong, please forgive me, Master and the Prince."

After clearing his throat, he got to the point and said, "In my humble opinion, the focus of this matter is not the Qingshui River oath.

The Qingshui River Oath is merely a bond between Yu Fengxian and the Li Dynasty.

Originally, it was the true destiny for Xisha to destroy Shu.

What is the price of eliminating this destiny?
Just restrain Yu Fengxian? No, that's not enough.

We have all seen the result now. Because of Yu Fengxian, the Emperor of Heaven has noticed us, Xi Shu.

Tianmen Town was the first to suffer from the fire disaster, and next year it will be Yingxiangfu. Alas, these are the prices to pay.

But these costs are not the real costs of the destiny of "destroying Shu in Xisha".

Our bad karma is the reason why we suffer from natural and man-made disasters."

Xuan Yin Zhenren nodded slightly, "Brother, what do you think the real price is?"

The dog-meat Taoist priest glanced at Li Jingyu and felt a little hesitant.

But considering that Xiao Fengxian had successfully escaped, she was truly like a "hidden dragon in the abyss", and neither the Li family nor Western Shu could tie her down anymore.

The hesitation in his heart was dispelled, and he said bluntly: "Xisha's destruction of Shu is the national destiny of both Xisha and Xishu.

If there is a stone in Xisha's national destiny, Yu Fengxian will occupy nine buckets.

This is because Taoist Qingsong from Shangbang is determined to capture Yu Fengxian.

It was destiny that Xisha destroyed Shu.

Changing this destiny is equivalent to Western Shu taking away the national destiny of the Xisha Kingdom.

Transfer "one stone" of national destiny to Western Shu.

If we leave Yu Fengxian in Xishu and take away her 'Nine Dou Xisha National Destiny', wouldn't Xishu be able to reverse its fate of national destruction?"

"You can also kill her directly." Li Jingyu said.

The dog meat Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, we can kill her. Killing her is equivalent to robbing the country of its destiny of rising in the Xisha Islands.

If Xishu is willing to kill Yu Fengxian, Taoist Qingsong has no objection, so why does the prince insist that Yu Fengxian live? "

Li Jingyu said in a hoarse voice: "Killing her will backfire, and the cost is too high. It is better to imprison her and let time wear away her destiny."

Taoist Dog Meat nodded solemnly again, "That's right. It's not impossible to kill her, but the method is rough and the cost is too high. It's better to imprison her.

Why did the prince stop imprisoning her and instead swear an oath with her by pointing to water?

The oath of water and non-aggression is obviously a gentler approach. "

Li Jingyu said: "Because imprisoning her also has a price, and the price is too high, I can't afford it."

Taoist Dog Meat nodded again, "Yes, she is the 'natural saint' of the Xisha barbarians. Even if she is imprisoned, there is a price to pay.

If he had given Yu Fengxian a mansion, gold, and martial arts skills when she first entered Xishu, and had sworn an oath with her by pointing at water.

Ge Qingyun has no reason to hit you with the iron paddle. You have nothing to do with Yu Fengxian."

Li Jingyu said: "No one knew her at the beginning, and no one understood her character. If she was determined to restore the country, wouldn't it cause endless trouble if she escaped?"

The Dog Meat Taoist nodded, "Yes, no matter what choice you make, you have to pay the price.

To change the destiny of "destroying Shu in Xisha" cannot be done without paying a price.

The only difference is which one has a lower price and is more acceptable to Xishu and the prince."

A thoughtful look appeared on Xuanyin's face.

Li Jingyu was a little confused. "Master, this seems to have nothing to do with my destiny!"

Taoist Dog Meat said: "The essence of the Qingshui River oath is that Yu Fengxian promised to give the 'Nine Dou National Fortune' to Xishu. The Li family only needs to abide by the oath to complete the transaction.

But what if the Li family breaks their oath?

The price to be paid for breaking the oath must be equal to the "Nine Dou Xisha National Destiny".

Isn't the ancient Dragon Palace inheritance of the prince the foundation of the Li family and the destiny of the West Shu?"
