Eternal Night

Chapter 52 Immortal Disciple
Chu Minghao smiled and said to the eunuch: "Please wait outside for a while, we haven't finished our meal yet."

The eunuch paused for a moment, then immediately and obediently closed the door of the private room.

Chu Minghao looked at the table full of food and said to the three people with a smile: "We have been talking for a long time, but I haven't eaten a single bite of food yet."

After saying that, Chu Minghao picked up the bowl and ate the food in big mouthfuls. Although he didn't look as rude as Yamade, he wasn't pretending to be reserved either. He really gave people the feeling of his true nature.

The more Wu Xianxiao liked Chu Minghao, the more it grew on him, and apparently so did Yamade. He picked up a jar of wine, broke the mud seal and poured out a large bowl of it, then poured another large bowl for Wu Xianxiao and Chu Minghao, and began to drink it himself.

Wu Xianxiao also began to eat food with big mouthfuls. He had a huge appetite, and Chu Minghao was no less hungry than him. When they saw the wine bowls, they each picked up a few sips and drank, then smiled at each other and started eating again.

At the same time, outside the private room, several eunuchs had anxious expressions on their faces, while the tall and strong armored men who were accompanying them had no expression on their faces.

The leading burly man whispered to the eunuch leader, "Mr. Zhong, isn't the emperor very anxious? Is this...appropriate?"

The eunuch leader glanced at the big man, but the two seemed to have a good relationship, so he whispered: "That's why we can't be disrespectful. This man is an immortal!"

The leading sturdy man did not comment on the word "immortal", but he did not say another word. He just stood behind the eunuch leader like an iron tower.

In the private room, the three men ate and drank voraciously. Although they were not full, at least they enjoyed the food. Chu Minghao took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It tastes really good. You don't know, I set up three dream worlds for the Level 5 shelter. One era was in the middle of the Third World War, and the food was all two-headed cows, roasted lizards, and giant earthworms. One era was in the middle of the Jurassic period, with a lot of meat, but it was tasteless. There was another dream world with a huge deviation, but it was not polluted enough, so it was still the baseline reality 0.7. That world was all ice and snow, the whole world was frozen, and every time I went in, I could only eat ice..."

Wu Xianxiao smiled and said, "Then why don't you build a shelter in a dream world like this one?"

Chu Minghao smiled and shook his head, "I want to break through to the baseline reality of 0.6. The more dangerous, the more bizarre, and the more deviated the dream world is, the more good things there are... I have to fight hard. There are tens of millions of maintenance personnel on Gaia, and more than one billion citizens are trapped in the dream world. I must become stronger faster and take on my responsibilities and obligations faster."

Although Wu Xianxiao did not have such a broad mind and ideas, he admired this kind of people very much and immediately toasted Chu Minghao with another bowl of wine.

Chu Minghao drank it all in one gulp and said to the three people, "I have basically said everything that can be said. The rest are just some minor details, or they cannot be said. You can only know them yourself when you are stronger. So how about we talk about setting up a shelter now?"

The three of them nodded, and Chu Minghao stretched out five fingers and said, "There are five types of legislation in the shelter. First, to obtain ownership of a building or an area. Second, to form a force composed of most of the natives of the dream world. Third, to change the direction of the era of the dream world or leave a record. Fourth, to occupy two or three of the above three. Fifth... I won't talk about the fifth."

Xu Shilan said unhappily, "Every time you mention something bad, you keep silent. Do you know why I rejected you during the marriage matchmaking? It's because your mild-mannered personality really annoys me!"

Chu Minghao was not angry, he just touched his head and smiled foolishly, then he said seriously: "Okay, it's not a big deal to tell you, the last way to build a shelter is to kill people, the more you kill, the higher level of the shelter you build, and this last method is also called the Blood Shelter... Purchase, power, event, special, and Blood Shelter, each has slightly different rewards and functions. My personal suggestion is to make a special shelter, otherwise you have to make an event shelter."

The three of them were silently thinking about the information of the Scarlet Shelter. Chu Minghao said, "Now is a good opportunity. This should be an ancient feudal dynasty. I don't know the specific situation, but since it is a feudal dynasty, superstitious people in power, nobles, and religions that rely on the former are indispensable. The eunuchs and guards outside are sent by the rulers of this feudal dynasty. How about we use this opportunity to establish a second-level special shelter?"

Yamadei and Xu Shilan both nodded, and Wu Xianxiao couldn't help but complain, "No, Yamadei was from the Third World War. I can understand that in troubled times. You two are obviously high-ranking citizens with power and influence. Don't you read history?"

Chu Minghao shook his head and said, "It's impossible to read... Wei Lan has completely erased all the past history, leaving only the simplest records, so we only know the general feudal dynasties of the East and the names of some countries in the West, but we have no idea what kind of specific history it is."

"There is such a thing!?"

Wu Xianxiao, Yamade, and Xu Shilan were all surprised.

Chu Minghao looked at Xu Shilan unhappily and said, "No, they are fine, but why are you so surprised? The predecessor of the Thirteen Singularity Group was Wei Lan, which once controlled everything of mankind after the Third World War. Your ancestors also participated in the battle to siege Wei Lan. I don't believe there is no record of this in your family library."

Xu Shilan shrugged her shoulders, and Chu Minghao continued, "Because of this, we are really not familiar with the history before the Third World War... Brother Wu, it sounds like you are very familiar with history?"

Wu Xianxiao had nothing to hide, so he said directly: "I am the future frozen in the 21st century."

Chu Minghao was silent. He looked at Wu Xianxiao with pity in his eyes, but he immediately smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. If you really have the qualifications of a super brain, you can still suppress the backlash of hundreds of years of spiritual darkness. Even if not, when I can return to Gaia, I can also use the main brain share to suppress and eliminate it for you... How many days do you have left?"

Wu Xianxiao said: "About one hundred and sixty days."

"One hundred and sixty days..."

Chu Minghao thought for a moment and said, "You'd better practice some extraordinary skills involving the mind, consciousness, soul and other fields. These can greatly enhance your self-personality, slow down the backflow of darkness in your mind, and delay time as much as possible."

Wu Xianxiao nodded in response, and Chu Minghao asked, "Since Brother Wu is familiar with this era, what should we do next?"

Wu Xianxiao began to think about it, and the other three looked at him. After a moment, Wu Xianxiao smiled and said, "Didn't they send someone to invite us? Then we should go. As for how to do it... It's too easy with you here. We just need to..."

"Fairy?"

In the imperial palace, Zhao Ji, a dozen officials in purple and red robes, three princes, and the pale-faced imperial teacher Guo Jing, were all looking at the same scene.

A young man was carrying a sword case on his back. The young man in the picture patted the sword case with a smile. In an instant, the world turned black and white, and everything was still. Only a bright light like the scorching sun shone from the sword case, which disappeared in a flash, and the world returned to normal.

The Six Seals of the Son of Heaven! They are the most important national treasures of the Song Dynasty. They can control the clouds above and the earth below. They are connected to the golden dragon of national destiny. They are invulnerable to all evil and untainted by all evil. In this Bianliang city, as long as the national destiny does not fall, they can suppress people, gods, demons and ghosts with a Taoist practice of less than 300 years.

But just now, the six seals of the emperor rang at the same time, and slight cracks appeared on all six seals.

This frightened the head of the clan affairs office so much that he almost lost his soul, and he immediately reported the matter to the Song Emperor Zhao Ji.

This matter was of great importance, so Zhao Ji hurriedly brought all the ministers and the prince to the place where the six seals of the emperor were placed, and then he saw this scene in the six seals of the emperor.

Later, the state teacher Guo Jing came back with a pale face. Although he did not say a word, everyone saw that he was without his Taoist hat and his hair was disheveled. When they thought about the person standing in front of the young man in the picture who was spying on the princess, how could everyone not guess the cause and effect of the matter? Zhao Ji was no longer friendly and asked Guo Jing sternly about what happened.

Guo Jing was in a thrilling moment at this time. After a circle between life and death, his mind was in chaos. Facing the emperor's questioning, he could only admit that he had encountered a terrifying immortal. In a flash, all his defenses were broken. If the other party had no intention of killing him, his corpse might not even be able to be pieced together into a complete piece of flesh.

"Sword Immortal... He must be the legendary Sword Immortal without a doubt. This method must be the supreme method among the Sword Immortals to refine swords into silk." Guo Jing's eyes were full of fear when he said this.

Zhao Ji and his ministers and princes looked at each other. Although they found it absurd and unbelievable, the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

You should know that everything in the world has a lifespan, even mountain monsters and spirits have a lifespan, that's why there are so few monsters that have only been around for a few decades, and every monster that has been around for a hundred years is a big monster.

A cultivator like Guo Jing, the national master, has practiced Taoism for more than thirty years, which makes him one of the most powerful Taoist masters in the world. It is said that the ancestor of Zhang Tianshi's lineage has practiced Taoism for more than seventy years, which is already the best.

Yet, this young man broke the forbidden seals of the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven with just one move, and even caused slight cracks to the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven. It is still unknown how much national fortune will be needed to mend the cracks. This would require at least four to five hundred years of cultivation, and who in the world can live to four to five hundred years?

It must be an immortal!
Zhao Ji and his ministers and princes looked at the images recorded by the six seals of the emperor over and over again. The more they looked, the more fascinated they were, especially Emperor Zhao Ji, whose enthusiasm was so intense that it was about to burst out.

"Are there really immortals? Are there really immortals?"

At this moment, several eunuchs hurried into the hall and said something in Zhao Ji's ear.

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and said, "Why don't you invite the immortal to the Purple Palace? Is the banquet ready?"

The leading eunuch immediately nodded in agreement. When Zhao Ji was about to speak to the ministers, the eunuch anxiously said, "But the immortal is just outside the palace and has not come in."

Zhao Ji said anxiously: "Why? Is it because I didn't come to greet you in person? I was afraid of disturbing the immortal. I will go now, I will go now."

All the ministers and princes were secretly complaining in their hearts, thinking that they were not afraid of disturbing the immortal, but were simply afraid of death. They did not dare to confirm the immortal's intention, so they sent people to invite him. If he came, it would prove that he would not pose a threat to the Emperor Song.

The eunuch said quickly, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. It's the son of the immortal who accompanied him, the strange man who just spied on the princess, who didn't want to. He said that he was attacked from a distance just now, and he didn't accept it. He wanted to fight with the attacker to confirm who was better, otherwise he would not come to this palace!"

Zhao Ji was stunned, the ministers were stunned, and the princes were stunned. They really didn't expect this to be the reason.

A minister in purple robes stroked his breath and said, "I have seen in those books about strange things and immortals that if a mortal wants to become an immortal, he must have a harmonious heart and cannot have any flaws. Could it be that this strange person... No, this immortal disciple is at the stage of refining his heart and cannot have a flawed heart?"

"Yes, yes!"

Zhao Ji nodded immediately. He looked at Guo Jing and said, "Master, can you go and compete with that immortal disciple?"

Guo Jing's face changed drastically. He was about to refuse, but the eunuch said, "The immortal said that he would not attack again. He would let his disciples compete. But if someone wants to run away after winning a move, he is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see bloodshed. Just be careful in your next life."

Guo Jing was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he realized what it meant to be more careful in the next life. His face turned bitter and he was silent for a few seconds. The emperor, ministers, and princes were all looking at him.

Guo Jing gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to compete. Please allow me to take out the golden warrior puppet and all the refined magic tools from the Taoist temple. Otherwise, how can I fight with the Qi and Blood Warrior in close combat? This is not fair to me!!"

Zhao Ji thought about it and felt that it was no big deal, since there was an immortal to help him. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Imperial Master. Go quickly, go quickly."

Guo Jing, with a smile that looked as if he was about to cry, bowed and said goodbye to the emperor, every minister, and every prince as if he was writing a will. From the time he became the imperial teacher until now, he had never been so respectful.

After hesitating for at least one or two minutes, Guo Jing slowly walked towards the Taoist temple.

After Guo Jing left, Zhao Ji lowered his head and thought for a long time. He suddenly smiled, called a eunuch, and whispered to him: "Yongfu has returned to the palace, right? She has been innocent and romantic since she was a child, and she likes these immortals and monsters the most. Let her go to watch the battle as well."

The eunuch took the order and quickly left the palace.

At this moment, Princess Yongfu, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen, was combing her long hair in front of a bronze mirror, but what she was thinking about was the reckless man she saw today, especially the scene of him breaking the wall at the end. As she thought about it, the girl suddenly laughed.

Her eyes...are exactly the same as the little mute's.
