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

Chapter 976 Lu Sheng is wronged
Xiaoyu scoffed at Meng Qi's words that there is "great potential".

"Do you know why Li Si hated me so much that he lost his prime minister's demeanor and madly bit me in the court like a mad dog?"

"I was just about to ask you, what did you do to him last night? He hates you so much, but he is unwilling to reveal a single word?" Meng Qi asked curiously.

"He has lost his destiny, and his guardian angel has left him. Once it is revealed, Prime Minister Li's prestige will be greatly damaged." Xiao Yu said.

"What guardian angel? He is already very old, and his fate has been determined. What destiny is there?" Meng Qi said, not being able to react for a moment.

Xiao Yu reminded him, "Didn't you notice that Li Si used to have such an extraordinary demeanor that it was hard to disrespect or disobey him.

Even though we are immortals, we will feel inexplicably awed when we get close to him.

But today he seemed to have suddenly lost some of his spirit and became somewhat mediocre."

Meng Qi pondered and said, "He is the left prime minister of the Great Qin Empire. Although the Great Qin Empire respects the right, Prime Minister Feng is only old, and his ability, authority, reputation, and the emperor's reliance and trust are far inferior to Li Si.

You also saw in the court before that Prime Minister Feng himself regarded Li Si as his superior.

Don’t look at the mediocrity of Queen Mother Zhao now.

Back then, the Human Emperor’s demeanor and majesty were so impressive that even the Golden Immortals would be impressed.

Even when facing the Human Emperor, the immortals lost their composure and became timid.

Li Si's status was second only to that of the Emperor Renhuang, and he was the leader among all the ministers.

He has the bearing that can impress even an immortal, which is normal.

Let’s take Dongfang Shuo, whom you are more familiar with.

When facing Wei Liaozi, he was respectful and did not dare to offend him in the slightest.

Their demeanor is already extraordinary, and the imperial authority adds to their splendor and power."

"Don't go too far, just talk about the difference between Li Si today and Li Si yesterday." Xiaoyu said.

“It is indeed a big difference, but Prime Minister Li’s eyes are bloodshot, his eye sockets are dark, and his face looks tired.

It must be because I didn't sleep well last night and was not in good condition, which affected my appearance and demeanor." Meng Qi said.

Xiao Yu curled her lips, "Senior, don't blame me for saying that. You've been in the officialdom for so long that even the immortal's spiritual perception has become dull.

He has changed so much, and you just think he is too tired?"

"Is it possible that your perception is sharper than others? Just like the 'Earthly Evil Dragon Tentacles' in Xianyang City, I am still the Grand Master, and I can't think of the method of 'Heavenly Eyes to Distinguish the Smooth and the Soft'.

I couldn’t think of it before, and now after listening to you explain the basic principles, I still can’t do it.”

Meng Qi sighed, “Although you don’t have immortal bones and your aptitude for cultivating immortals is far inferior to mine, you have your own strengths.

Your specialty is that you are very sensitive to 'qi', whether you are good at Taoism or not, you have extraordinary supernatural powers."

Xiaoyu doesn't think that his qualifications are worse than his.

Old Meng has been practicing for 300,000 years, and his teacher has taken him to Daluo Heaven to listen to the Taoist preaching, but he is still just a mysterious immortal. The key is that he is lost and cannot find the "Tao".

However, she did not want to argue with him, so she just said, "Just wait and see. After a few days, Li Si will be in better condition, but he still cannot recover the demeanor that made the immortals feel frustrated."

"Because the guardian angel left? Which guardian angel?" Meng Qi asked.

Xiao Yu said: "Senior, do you know how I killed Xiu Ge?
Xu Ge is the reincarnation of the evil star. Above his head is a cloud of good fortune and a copper-headed and iron-browed devil from hell guarding him.

Those demons not only saved him from death in an accident, but also gave him an aura of might and dominance out of thin air.

Li Si is the same as Xiu Ge.

But it was not the devil from hell who was protecting Li Si, but the gods from heaven."

Meng Qi suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "Are you talking about the boy in green holding the incense burner in front of Li Si?"

"Senior, have you seen it too?"

Xiaoyu was not surprised that Meng Qi knew the boy in green.

Taoist Lu Lingzi had told her about this at Yanmen Pass that day.

Li Si is suspected to be protected by a god, and he is a boy holding an incense burner.

Even Lu Lingzi outside the Great Wall knew about it, and the immortal in Xianyang must have heard of it or even seen it with his own eyes.

Meng Qi shook his head and said, “The connection between this old man and Prime Minister Li is not deep enough, so I didn’t see it.

However, in his early years, the ancient immortal Yun Zhongzi wanted to convert Li Si.

Not only did Li Si not appreciate it, he also mocked the immortal and said some unpleasant things.

The immortal didn't hate him, but said to others with great regret: There was a boy holding an incense burner in front of Li Si, whose fate was indescribably noble. If he converted to Taoism, he would easily achieve the status of an immortal.

But it was a pity that Li Si allowed his good fortune to be completely wasted in the web of power.

Even if one is the most powerful official in the country and becomes a famous prime minister throughout history, in the end, he will be nothing more than a handful of yellow earth. "

"That's right! Imperial ambitions and human power are nothing compared to eternal freedom. Is Li Siming suffering from brain damage?"

Xiao Yu was puzzled, "He didn't even want to be accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Yun Zhongzi? What was he thinking?"

Not to mention Yun Zhongzi, even if the disciple of Yun Zhongzi's disciple finds her now and wants to take her in as a disciple and promises to teach her the full set of celestial immortal techniques, she will agree.

Don’t worry about cause and effect, just get the Heavenly Immortal Technique first.

Even if one finally decides not to practice, one can still use the Heavenly Immortal Method to directly glimpse the highest realm of the Immortal Path - Daluo Hedao.

It provides important reference for creating one's own Taoism and finding one's own path.

Meng Qi said: "Now you know that it was Yun Zhongzi who wanted to save Li Si, so you feel sorry.

But the Taoist in hemp clothes who appeared in front of Li Si that year was ordinary, verbose, and could not speak well.

Even the Human Emperor was angry.

At that time, Li Si was young, but he held a high position, was full of vigor and looked down on the world.

Even the Golden Immortals had to bow and greet him, calling him "Prime Minister" when they saw him.

Xiao Yu asked curiously, "Back then, the Immortal Yun Zhongzi only saw a young boy holding an incense burner?"

"Are there more?" Meng Qi asked in surprise.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Last night in Yangxian Hall of Li's Mansion, I used the Earth Demon method to transform into a servant boy of the Li family. When I was about to pour wine for Li Si, I approached within two feet and saw a young boy holding a bronze incense burner as big as a rice bowl. A wisp of smoke drifted over and made me dizzy.

There were also two little children in colorful clothes, holding large round fans, who fanned me.

All the weather clouds above my head were blown away, and I felt terrified and inexplicably uneasy.

My method of changing into Disha can not only change one's appearance, but also change the sign of destiny, so I can deceive the gods and demons and deceive the undead.

But the fan directly broke my disguised aura, revealing my true aura, which immediately made Li Si realize something was wrong. "

"I didn't expect Li Si to be so lucky to have three fairy children protecting him." Meng Qi exclaimed, "I don't know how many the great fairy Yun Zhongzi saw.

You can see three things at once. It seems you have mastered a very advanced spiritual eye technique!"

Xiao Yu said: "My pupil skills are average, mainly because I have experienced the copper-headed iron-foreheaded ghost and I am used to it."

After a pause, she added, “I suspect those three aren’t all.

At that time, I had a feeling that if I forced myself to get close to Li Si and endangered his life, something terrible would happen.

Maybe it's the same as killing Xiu Ge.

More fairy children jumped out and fought with me directly for 300 rounds."

Meng Qi said solemnly, "Now the fairy children around Li Si are gone? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Xiao Yu said: "Earlier in the court, I quietly moved towards Li Si and approached within two feet.

I saw nothing, and the special feeling I had last night also disappeared.

If that were all, I would not be able to conclude that he had lost his destiny.

But you also saw the way he looked at me and his attitude towards me.

It was as if I had killed his father and cut off his lineage.

In the court, I tried to test him a little, and his reaction proved my guess." "What did you do to him? Even the guardian spirit boy left him. Let alone him, if it were someone else, they would also regard you as a great enemy who killed his father and destroyed his family." Meng Qi said worriedly.

"I am not his great enemy. On the contrary, I have done him a great favor. After meeting the fairy children, I immediately understood their identities.

I also knew that it was not appropriate to reveal this secret in front of Li Si and the other immortals.

Revealing the secret may affect his destiny.

If I regarded him as an enemy, I would have deliberately revealed the secret and forced all the immortal children out to fight with them.

Just like when I saw the demon guarding Xiu Ge, my interest increased and my murderous intent became even stronger.

I have seen the demon, and I really want to study the fairy boy.

But I held back, in order not to ruin Li Si's fate.

Is my kindness worth his kneeling down and kowtow twice?" Xiao Yu asked confidently.

"But the fairy boy who was protecting him ran away. What happened?" Meng Qi asked.

"Is there any need to ask this?" Xiao Yu said as a matter of course: "The Qin Empire is about to fall, and the country's fortune is about to be completely wiped out. How much luck does the Left Prime Minister of the Qin Empire have left?
Unless Li Si intends to betray the Qin Dynasty and assist Xinlong.

Only by joining the new true dragon can he have a new destiny.

But he is closely connected with the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty.

Not just closeness.

I observed his aura and it seemed that he was bound by the dragon energy of the Qin Dynasty.

His popularity and the dragon energy of the Great Qin formed an intricate net that enveloped him, and he could not untie it or escape it.

Even if you have the intention to rebel, you cannot do it now if you plan to surrender to the new king.

If you force it, your luck will backfire.

To put it bluntly, the reason he had the protection of the immortal child was because of the blessing of the Qin Dynasty.

Without the Qin Dynasty, he would be just a minor official in a county."

Li Si's background and experience are very similar to those of Xiao He.

Both of them were born in ordinary families and got a clerk job in the county. Then, relying on their own talents, they attached themselves to the real dragon and were promoted step by step to the prime minister who dominated a country's political affairs. If you have to say the difference, Li Si was lucky. He worshipped Xunzi as his teacher and became a fellow apprentice with Han Fei, so his career was smoother.

Could Xiao He betray Liu Bang?

Anyone can rebel, but Xiao He cannot rebel without a reason.

The same is true for Li Si. He can retreat but cannot rebel.

Therefore, the Qin Dynasty was about to perish, and Li Si's mandate of heaven was also about to end.

Xiao Yu continued, "The guardian fairy boy came here because of destiny, and we are protecting his destiny.

When Li Si had passed away, why didn't the fairy boy leave and stay with him in his old age?
At the beginning, Xiu Ge’s destiny had not yet ended, but because I wanted to kill him forcefully and destroy his destiny, the demons fled one after another.

What comes with luck will eventually leave when the luck dissipates."

Meng Qi asked doubtfully, “What you said makes sense, and I totally agree with it.

But why did they leave after you saw the fairy children? It can't be a coincidence, right? "

Xiao Yu shook her head and said, “Just because I have seen them, they blame me for their leaving.

It makes even less sense.

Not only have I seen the demons guarding Hugh, I've also fought several battles with them.

Why didn’t they leave in the first place?”

"I hope Prime Minister Li can come to his senses. After all, he is the Prime Minister of the empire. If he insists on making things difficult for you, your plan to move west will encounter many troubles." Meng Qi sighed.

"He'd better be more open-minded. I'm not a good man." Xiaoyu said calmly.

"You are the Grand Tutor, and like the Prime Minister, you are a pillar of the empire. Don't just think about fighting and killing." Meng Qi said earnestly.

Xiao Yu was speechless, "Master, you go and do your work! I'm going back to the Black Ice Terrace.

Well, the prophecy case is over, and I will go to the Emperor's Palace to work tomorrow."

"Do you have to let Lu Sheng be the scapegoat? He is really wronged and does not deserve such humiliation." Meng Qi sighed.

"The Grand Master felt that he was wronged, so he quietly released him. I have no personal grudge against him, I just want to put an end to the prophecy case immediately.

As for how to punish the criminal after the case is closed, it will naturally be decided by the Grand Tutor." Xiao Yu said indifferently.

Meng Qi's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Are you still searching for the real murderer?"

"What are you searching for?" Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, "As the senior said before, Daqin has too many enemies, and they all have the motivation and ability to spread prophecies.

Going to great lengths to catch one will not affect the overall situation of "the Qin Dynasty will fall" at all.

Nowadays, those who dare to and have the ability to rebel against Qin are most likely the immortals of Xuanmen who have decided to fall into disaster.

If I catch one, I will offend the whole group. Why bother?"

Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "You are very clear-headed! If that's the case, why did you still arrest Lu Sheng?"

"How can we close the case immediately if we don't arrest Lu Sheng? It doesn't matter whether we can catch the real murderer or not.

The most important thing is to catch a murderer who convinces the people as soon as possible and quickly quell the negative impact of the prophecy."

Xiao Yu sighed, "I'm new here, and I've received the emperor's grace, so I have to do something practical for Daqin."

Lu Sheng may have many friends, but he is indeed a casual cultivator.

Just like her, not in the true stream.

She is not a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Lu Sheng bumped into him and was a soft persimmon. If he didn't squeeze it hard, he would be unworthy of this "opportunity" that came to his door.

"Did Lu Sheng confess?" After General Wu Lei's spirit body returned to the Black Ice Platform, his real body continued to study the "Divine Book of Records" while his spirit body walked outside the prison door and asked loudly.

"Grandma Tianshi, this thief is very stubborn. We brothers tortured him for several hours, but he didn't even say a word."

An old ghost who looked like a devil and had a foul breath stuck his head out of the cell window and said with a flattering look on his face.

"But don't worry, grandma. As long as we give us some time, there is no one we cannot conquer."

Xiao Yu nodded woodenly and said, "Keep up the good work and serve him some good food."

"Yes, sir!" The old ghost went with a happy face.

At night, Xiao Yu encountered trouble while reading the Divine Book of Records and could not continue. Feeling anxious, he paced outside the cell again and asked, "Did he hum?"

"Grandma, this old Taoist priest is so tough that he didn't make a sound. He's so powerful!" The old ghost began to breathe heavily, with a hint of admiration in his voice.

"How can he be so tough, a weak warlock? Hey, he just didn't speak. Is he in good condition?"

Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something. Before leaving the cell in the morning, she blocked several of his meridians.

It was like pressing the "mute point" to stop him from shouting.

The old ghost inside said, "He was in a terrible state. He fainted several times, but his bones were very hard and he didn't scream."

"Alas, Lu Sheng is really wronged!" Xiao Yu slapped his forehead and said, "You guys get out first."

"Grandma, give us another chance, we can serve even tougher dishes." The old ghost said in panic.

"Get out!" Xiao Yu shouted, and the Yin-Yang Dao was activated in the cell, and several old ghosts ran away in a hurry.

Only then did she creak open the cell door.

Lu Sheng's body was intact, and his clothes were clean without any blood stains, but his pants were full of feces and urine, and his body was sweaty, soaking his clothes.

His face was pale and twisted, his expression was dazed and frightened, he had completely lost the calm demeanor of an immortal.

The old ghost is a ghost, and the torture is aimed at his soul. The torture instruments fall on his flesh, but do not hurt the skin, but only the soul.

Xiaoyu took a closer look and found that Lu Sheng's "dumb point" was still sealed.
