The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 585 The Power of Civilization

In Wannian County in the east of Chang'an City, in a mansion that has just been renovated.

"Look, isn't this our famous five-color Taoist?"

"I heard that you went to find that 'silly prince', why are you in such a mess now?"

"Have you been tricked by that Huiji again? If I remember correctly, this seems to be the seventh time?"

Sitting leisurely on a certain railing, I saw a woman with a voluptuous figure and a charming face, using a very frivolous tone, mocking the five-color Taoist who had just appeared.

If Pei Wende were here now, he would be surprised to find that this woman is none other than Chihu who left Tanzhou with Hui Ji.

And beside the red fox at this moment, there are more than a dozen practitioners with different identities and purposes gathered here.

"Yaohu, we are all working for His Highness King Qi, what good will it do you if I get tricked?"

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, the five-color Taoist stared at the red fox, and then turned his gaze to another woman beside him.

Compared with the charming red fox, the woman next to her looks very dignified.

It's just that from her occasional disdain, it can be seen that this woman obviously has the same thoughts as the red fox.

After all, the five-color Taoist has always called himself "Xuanmen authentic", and looked down on other practitioners who were also recruited by King Qi.

As a result, every time he confronted Huiji, the five-color Taoist either lost the chain here or there, and he couldn't see the appearance of "Xuanmen authenticity" at all.

The most important thing is that although the five-color Taoist has always regarded himself as an "authentic orthodox sect" and used his innate five-element magical powers superbly, in fact, everyone has a vague awareness that the other party may not be human.

"Well, now is not the time for infighting."

At the critical moment, the dignified woman at the side interrupted the red fox's ridicule, and asked about the business instead.

"Wu Se, what is the situation with you? Have you found the King of Light?"

Hearing this, the five-color Taoist who was quite angry at first sighed suddenly, and his tone became decadent.

"That Huiji really deserves to be a sage who comes out of the Buddhist family only once in hundreds of years. He dared to show up to challenge Zhao Guizhen, and he was indeed fully prepared."

"That silly prince has really become a monk, and all the real dragon energy in his body has dissipated. It is impossible for him to be the person Huiji wants to help."

When he said this, Taoist Five Colors paused for a moment before continuing.

"Hui Ji just used him as a bait to mislead us, and he chose someone else."

As soon as the five-color Taoist said this, the scene suddenly fell into silence.

But thinking about it carefully, although such a result is somewhat unexpected, it is reasonable.

Because no matter how taboo the current emperor is about his uncle, King Guang is not the orthodox heir to the throne after all.

In contrast, the five sons of the current emperor are the real contenders for the throne.

"It seems that we were intimidated by Huiji's name, and we actually believed that he would assist that 'silly prince'."

After a brief silence, the solemn woman spoke again.

"Then since he didn't choose 'Silly Prince', there is a high probability that it will be the other four princes."

"Is it Li Xian, King Yi? Li Qi, King Yan? Li Yi, King De?"

"Or the youngest King Chang Li Cuo?"

As the list of candidates was announced one by one, the solemn woman showed a rare expression of headache.

"Anyway, since we put the treasure on Qi Wang Li Jun, we must not let other 'accidents' happen."

After saying that, the solemn woman turned her head and ordered to the red fox.

"A few days ago, there were signs of crossing the catastrophe in Fengzhuang. No accident, it should be Hui Ji's junior who appeared in Chang'an."

"You go over there to investigate first. If you find that it is indeed the 'King of Ming Dynasty', you can find a way to lure him to the National Teacher's Mansion to intensify the conflict between him and Zhao Guizhen."

"At that time, no matter how Huiji hides in the Daming Palace, he will definitely choose to make a move."

After receiving this unexpected task, Chihu was shocked at first, and then said with a reluctant expression on purpose.

"Of course there is no problem with this, but I have to explain in advance that I will not appear in front of Zhao Guizhen in person."

"I'm only drawing Qin Tianjian's 'Secret Records of Fox Cultivators', and I don't intend to risk my life."

Hearing Chihu's statement, the solemn woman just stared at the other party silently, and then turned her gaze to the other practitioners who took refuge in King Qi.

"Luhu, you act together with the red fox."

"As for the others, except for those who have unfinished tasks, everyone will go with me to protect King Qi."

"And let me emphasize again, no matter what grievances you have with Qin Tianjian before, I must not conflict with them this time."

"If I find out that another demon-hunting master from Qin Tianjian died unexpectedly suddenly, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."

"Is this the Lantern Festival?"

Following behind Ah Yue with great interest, Xiaoqing was manipulating Pei Wende's fake body and chatting with Zou Qiwu, while she couldn't help but look at the lively lantern festival around her.

At this moment, it has been less than half an hour since Wende went to the Temple of Mercy.

After enjoying the delicious Roasted Whole Lamb, the group finally started to move towards the destination of the trip - the Charity Temple Fair.

Thanks to the quick response and appeasement of the monks in Ci'en Temple, the battle between Abbot Yongci and Taoist Five Colors did not cause too many disturbances, and was completely quelled.

Especially under Xiaoqing's deliberate guidance, father and daughter Zou Qiwu avoided the most chaotic place. They didn't even notice the commotion near the Daxiong Palace.

"This is the Lantern Festival, but it's not yet time to put the lights on."

Happily leading the way, Ah Yue, who had heard Xiaoqing's embarrassment, smiled proudly after a long absence.

In the territory of Chang'an, Ah Yue is the real host.

"It's still daytime now. At night, when these lanterns are drifting down the river or flying high into the sky, that's the most beautiful time."

Looking at Ah Yue who looked fascinated, although Xiao Qing couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was, she couldn't help feeling a little longing.

This is an emotion that Xiaoqing was absolutely impossible to have before, and it is also a manifestation of her becoming more and more humane.

【Is this the 'human civilization' that Pei Wende said? 】

Can't help but think of some words that Pei Wende once said to himself, Xiaoqing really realized the power of "human beings" for the first time.

It's not the strength of an individual, but the gathering of countless ants-like creatures, which explode with a mighty power that can change the world and nature.

[Perhaps there will be a day when these mortals can achieve the feat of catching the moon in the nine heavens and catching turtles in the five oceans without relying on the power of gods and monsters. 】
