Song Xing: I am cultivating immortals in Qingcheng Mountain

Chapter 451 Father and Son, Monarch and Minister, Reason

"Have you seen what's happening outside?"

In the main hall, Emperor Mingde's voice was erratic, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Xiao Se held his hands in his sleeves, stood there without answering. It was a habit he had developed when his hidden meridian was injured, and he couldn't change it in a short time.

"I heard that the young man from Qingcheng Mountain is your friend?"

Emperor Mingde was silent for a moment and then spoke again, but this time he changed his target to Zhao Shouyi.

Xiao Se narrowed his eyes and glanced at Emperor Mingde from afar. When Zhao Shouyi was mentioned at this time, he had no idea what his father was thinking.

"That's right"

"But our relationship is not as good as it is said outside. If I don't take my father's position in the future, perhaps we will be very good friends."

Emperor Mingde was stunned. Obviously, this answer was somewhat beyond his expectations. There were many wandering gods in Tianqi City, each with his own calculations. With a friend like Zhao Shouyi, the situation Xiao Chuhe faced would undoubtedly be much better. Moreover, even if he admitted it, the Taoist from Qingcheng Mountain would not deny it. But Xiao Chuhe gave him such an answer.

The huge palace seems to be impenetrable, but it cannot stop the spiritual consciousness wandering in the mysterious realm. I believe that everything that happens here will be known to those outside in no time.

He could think of this, and he believed that Xiao Chuhe could think of it as well, but the other party's answer was still so straightforward. Back then, Xiao Chuhe's temperament was like this. He was very clear about right and wrong. He would not give in on the matter of Prince Langya, which made it difficult for him to back down, so he finally demoted him from Tianqi. Now that times have changed, he did not expect that the other party's temperament has become like this.

However, he couldn't say that he disliked the other person's personality. After all, he had been in this position for a long time, and it was not easy to hear the truth.

If he asked the same question to his other two princes, their answers would probably be completely different from Xiao Chuhe's.

I just don't know whether the prince's answer at this time was intentional or he simply didn't care.

He looked at Xiao Chuhe who was standing below, as if he wanted to see through this prince, and it took him a while to look away.

"I heard that you came back to Tianqi with a lot of people this time."

Xiao Se nodded.

When talking to his father, he would say as little as possible, or say nothing at all if possible. The other party's vision and scheming were not comparable to his, and he was very self-aware on this point.

“Some old faces.”

"When I think of them, it seems like what happened yesterday. Unfortunately, I am already old."

Xiao Chuhe stood there, feeling somewhat surprised when he heard these words. He raised his head and looked at his father. His appearance had not changed much, and he looked even more majestic than when he left that year. However, he also felt somewhat sad. His temples were already gray, giving people the feeling of a hero in his twilight years.

"That little Taoist priest doesn't have any secrets to immortality. I've seen the skills he practices. They're from the Taoist scriptures of Qingcheng Mountain."

Xiao Chuhe seemed to have guessed something. After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with a strange color. This information was not a secret to him, and it was not a big secret to the martial arts world. Qingcheng Mountain had already announced it. It was just that he had never seen the scripture, but he didn't expect Xiao Chuhe to have seen it with his own eyes.

"It is exactly the same as the Wordless Heavenly Book. Taoism has always emphasized fate and aptitude. Those with poor aptitude have no chance to enter, and those who don't have the fate won't recognize each other even if they meet. Among all the disciples of Qingcheng Mountain, only Zhao Shouyi has learned that method. Even the Taoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen has no chance to see the true face of Mount Lu!"

Through Baixiaotang, Xiao Chuhe roughly knew what Emperor Mingde wanted.

longevity.

Throughout the dynasties, many emperors had a common goal. Even the First Emperor who unified the country in the past, after completing his immortal achievements, also hoped that he would be immortal and that the dynasty he established would last for thousands of years.

But is there really immortality in this world? Can you really live forever? Xiao Chuhe is not sure about this, at least he is not sure now. In his impression, he can only break through to a certain realm through cultivation and then prolong his lifespan.

It was a pity that Emperor Mingde did not practice cultivation. Also, because those in the mysterious realm of wandering in the city of Apocalypse all had their own plans in mind, they did not intend to use the method of initiation to create a free and easy heaven realm to hinder their affairs, so Emperor Mingde was still a mortal, a mortal of inferior status.

As soon as Xiao Chuhe thought of this, he suddenly realized. He guessed what Emperor Mingde meant at once. If there was anyone else in this world who dared to let the emperor become a free and easy heavenly realm, there would be only one person who could become a free and easy heavenly realm.

But he knew that the probability of this happening was too small. Zhao Shouyi did not attach much importance to the change of dynasties. Separation and reunion were the way of nature, and he would not interfere. Even if he begged, he was afraid that the other party would not give in.

"That little Taoist priest is a real Taoist priest, although he doesn't look like a real Taoist priest."

"Qingcheng Mountain has always maintained neutrality, and it has never changed until now. It is almost impossible for him to interfere in the affairs of the court."

Emperor Mingde raised his head and looked towards the gate. He understood Xiao Chuhe's words very well. The implication was that it was impossible for Zhao Shouyi to help him.

As for the others, he was also worried. After all, it was a very difficult decision to put his life and death in the hands of another person. The reason for choosing Zhao Shouyi was the unusual movements in the East China Sea. He learned some of the inside story from Xiao Yuanshan. The young Taoist priest kept his promise and risked his own death to help the immortal accomplish the feat of bringing the dead back to life.

"Chu He, do you want to be the crown prince?"

The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder, leaving Xiao Chuhe stunned on the spot.

The position of the crown prince had been undecided before, so why would Emperor Mingde say this today?

"Do not want to."

The statement was also meant to shock people. If Xiao Chong and Xiao Yu heard this, they would probably be dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingde paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Not wanting to be a crown prince means not wanting to be an emperor.

Is there really anyone in the world who doesn't envy such power? If he hadn't experienced what happened to King Langya, perhaps he wouldn't believe it.

"Chu He, if the second and seventh brothers had said this to me, I would definitely not believe it. But I believe you because you and Ruo Feng are the same person. Maybe I finally understand why my father made that choice back then!!"
