Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 771 It turns out that “Senior He” is actually the late emperor!
With this guess in mind, Li Yun reviewed the records of his past conversations with "Senior He" dozens of times, but could not find anything wrong.

In his opinion, "Senior He" was by no means a petty person, and sometimes he would even joke with him through the "Qingdu Order".

Given Senior He's temperament, how could he be dissatisfied and cut off contact just because of a few words from him?

"Why is that? Did something go wrong when Senior He was practicing?" As time went by, Li Yun's anxiety gradually turned into deep concern for Senior He.

However, He Yiqun had always been traveling around the world and his whereabouts were erratic. Li Yun had no way of knowing his whereabouts, let alone being able to personally confirm his situation.

Therefore, he could only pray silently to the late emperor in his heart, hoping that the late emperor's spirit in heaven would protect Senior He and keep him safe and sound.

Ever since the late emperor passed away while trying to save all living beings, his status in the hearts of the people in the Great Wilderness has become increasingly lofty, and he has been revered as a god-like existence.

The "God" of the Great Qi period had long been forgotten by people, and even the title "Emperor Ziwei", which came from distant history, had gradually faded from people's memory.

Nowadays, the deity enshrined in every household’s shrine is “Emperor Wen of the Xia Dynasty”, the “Emperor of Man”.

The people of the Great Wilderness clearly know who can truly make their lives better.

In the past few thousand years, they believed in God and offered tributes to God, but when ghosts and monsters wreaked havoc, God never helped them, leaving them to suffer the consequences of their homelessness and the loss of their lives under the attacks of ghosts and monsters.

However, during the short few years of the late emperor's reign, earth-shaking changes took place in the Great Wilderness.

Civilians no longer need to worry about being hunted by ghosts day and night, and practitioners no longer need to worry about going astray due to inhaling Yin energy. Even the powerful enemy like Xuandan Tianzun who tried to destroy the Great Wilderness failed because of the previous emperor's efforts to turn the tide.

However, that night, Li Yun received a message from Wang Jian through the "Qingdu Order":
"Li Yun, haven't you always wanted to meet my junior brother? He just returned to Luojing today and asked me to go to his mansion for tea. If you are free, we can go together."

Li Yun was slightly stunned when he saw the message.

Since the previous emperor mentioned his name in his last words, several saints and true masters of the Great Xia Dynasty paid great attention to him. For example, the formation master Wang Jian often cared about his cultivation and sometimes helped him deal with some internal affairs of the Purple Mansion Army.

"Okay, thank you, Your Majesty!" He responded immediately, "It's really rare for Senior He to come back. I will definitely keep the appointment on time tonight."

He didn't know if it was the spirit of the late emperor appearing. Just now, he was still worried about "Senior He" when the prince sent him a message, allowing him to confirm that Senior He was safe and had not encountered any accidents.

What made him even more delighted was that the opportunity he had been waiting for for many years had finally come - he was finally able to talk to Senior He and personally express his long-brewing gratitude.

A few hours later, Li Yun changed into a neat robe, hung up his sword properly, and carefully tidied his appearance.

Although he has always been a calm person, at this moment, he still can't hide his excitement and anticipation.

The city of Luojing is shrouded in night, brightly lit and still prosperous.

Li Yun arrived at He Yiqun's residence on time.

This mansion is located on a hill in the far suburbs of Luojing City, hidden among a dense forest, appearing quiet and mysterious.

A few years ago, shortly after the late emperor ascended the throne, Li Yun came here once.

It was midwinter, the mountains and forests were covered in snow, and the waterfall had already frozen into ice, like a crystal clear jade belt hanging between the cliffs. Now, the mountains and forests are lush and green, full of vitality.

The waterfall rushes down, the sound of water is like thunder, and the splashing mist fills the night.

The last time he came here, he waited for a long time but still failed to see Senior He.

The only time he had seen Senior He was at the funeral of the late emperor, when he had only seen him from a distance. Senior He stood beside Wang Jian, wearing a white mourning dress, with a solemn and sad look on his face.

But after the funeral, Senior He seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and there was no news of him again. The two of them never even said a word to each other.

A moment later, Wang Jian's figure appeared out of nowhere beside him.

The short, dark-skinned former imperial teacher raised his hand and knocked gently on the door a few times.

Soon, the door slowly opened and He Yiqun stood inside the door with a smile on his face, making a gesture to invite him in.

They went inside and sat down at a low table.

He Yiqun picked up the teapot and poured them some hot tea.

The fragrance of tea wafts in the air, quiet and elegant, making people feel relaxed and happy.

During this process, Li Yun silently looked at He Yiqun who was sitting opposite him.

He Yiqun was wearing a black robe and had a long beard. He had a calm expression, and his behavior was easy-going and friendly. He had no airs at all and was truly a very easy-going person to get along with.

But Li Yun had a vague feeling in his heart - the He Yiqun in front of him seemed different from the "Senior He" he had imagined.

"Senior He" in "Qingdu Ling" is knowledgeable and talented, and is proficient in all kinds of Taoism in the world. There is always an arrogance in his words that looks down on the world, as if he regards all the conventions of the world as nothing, and is free and unrestrained.

The person in front of him was gentle and calm, yet seemed to lack some sharpness and edge.

"Don't judge a person by his appearance," Li Yun said silently to himself in his heart, "Maybe this is just Senior He's way of dealing with the world, he doesn't want to show his sharp side in front of others."

He took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, then stood up and sincerely said what had been pent up in his heart for a long time but had not been able to say out loud:

"Senior He, I have always been grateful for your teachings in 'Qingdu Ling'. Without your guidance and help, I would never have achieved what I have today. I have never been able to thank you in person before, but today I finally have the opportunity to meet you and say thank you in person..."

Li Yun expressed his inner thoughts sincerely.

However, before he finished speaking, he noticed a strange expression on the faces of He Yiqun and Wang Jian beside him.

The expression seemed to be neither a smile nor a smile, but it was mixed with a hint of imperceptible nostalgia and sadness.

"Commander Li, the 'He Yiqun' in the 'Qingdu Fantasy' is not actually me."

After Li Yun finished speaking, He Yiqun sighed and said slowly: "The late emperor was worried that you would feel awkward or hesitant when communicating with you in his own identity, so he borrowed my name to guide you in your cultivation. In this way, you may feel more comfortable when you are with him...

"As for myself, I have always used an alias in the 'Qingdu Fantasy'..."
