Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1081 Children
Kuang Yu saw Li Ximing off and rode the wind back. When he arrived at Qusi Mountain, Xuan Yi and the others were long gone and the attic was silent.

Kuang Yu went to the mountain by himself, but saw a woman in red blocking the way and said respectfully:

"Miss, the master wants to see you."

Kuang Yu withdrew her hand, with a little more surprise, nodded slightly, and walked all the way to the [Sanyang Yuxi Palace]. The rolling Xiqi was shuttling on the golden platform. She stepped over the steps and saw that the main seat on the stage was bright, and her master was sitting in the deep dark red.

She took a few more steps, stepped forward, bowed and said respectfully:

"grown ups!"

Di Yan's expression was no longer as solemn as before, but more lively. He sat casually in the main seat, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and whispered:

"What did he say?"

Kuang Yu said:
"The matter of Baoya Jindi."

Di Yan took a sip of wine and asked:
"I insist on seeking the truth, do you have any complaints?"

Kuang Yu bowed his head and said:

"I dare not complain... My Lord is seeking the truth, and I can only help him. I am only worried about Qu Si's situation, and even more worried about..."

She looked complicated and said:
"If I get too involved and anger this company or that company, will it affect Qu Si..."

Diyan took another sip of wine and said:
"Don't worry. After all, [Master Qu Jie] is a disciple of [Motong Palace]. People in heaven...see this matter differently."

Kuang Yu looked up with some doubt and listened to Di Yan:
"This is the wonderful thing. In the eyes of King Wei, we are helping him, but in the eyes of Luoxia, aren't we also helping Luoxia? Even in the eyes of the dragons, we are also contributing our part!"

"Although that lord hasn't appeared in the world for a long time, according to his standpoint and interests, he should do this. Regardless of whether he directly ordered it or not, in the eyes of those lords, it was his work. Why would they vent their anger on us?"

After a while of silence, Kuang Yu asked:

"It turns out that the adults had planned this long ago."

Diyan looked at her with a smile, sipped his wine and said nothing.

'Who planned this? That's not certain!'

Kuang Yu stood up. Di Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a jade talisman from his sleeve. It was about three fingers wide, with a black background and gold and red painted on it.

Kuang Yu stood up, took the talisman from his hand, and took a close look at it. His face suddenly became suspicious. He looked up at the adult and listened to Di Yan's calm tone:

"When I asked you to practice Xiuyue, I was thinking about the future, which would be a chaotic world where you would be displaced. Xiuyue is not only good at saving your life, but it can also adapt to the situation and give you the opportunity to achieve the great way..."

"Now that we have penetrated deep into Mingyang's layout, your way of 'cultivation' can be used to borrow some power."

Kuang Yu was slightly disappointed and replied:
"I have never thought of asking for gold!"

Di Yan shook his head:

"I never asked you to ask for gold. I just wanted to borrow your might so that I could cultivate my magical powers. If you want to rebel, I'm afraid it would be hard to find something more rebellious than killing the emperor."

Kuang Yu said in confusion:
"I am confused... My Lord has already asked my younger brother to practice 'Xiu Yue', so he is a more suitable candidate than me. I will inherit Qu Si's legacy..."

Diyan stopped drinking, seemed to be in some pain, and sighed after a long while:
"This matter should have been done by your father... He is just the right age... If he had lived to this day, his cultivation would have been just right. Let him help the King of Wei to rebel. In the end, whether it succeeds or not, he would have a chance to ask me for help... If he were here, I would never let you touch this matter!"

He closed his eyes tightly:
"How hateful... I was harmed by Canlufu!"

Speaking of his father, Kuang Yu's expression was uncertain and he looked depressed, while Di Yan said quietly:
"He's gone now. No one dares to risk the karma of Xing Ming Yang's peril. Only you and your cousin can each get some. With your qualifications, you have a chance to survive the Purple Stage. If you get the lion's share, you might even get a chance to reincarnate."

"That's why I asked you to get close to Li Ximing instead of the King of Wei. That's Juexi's business. He's an official in public, and you're secretly dating him. With Juexi's help, you can get more of the cause and effect... Without him, it would be hard for you to get it."

Kuang Yu nodded thoughtfully, and Di Yan said earnestly:
"That's why I had to talk to him about this today, why I had to let him meet Juexi, and why I had to let him agree on behalf of King Wei first. Juexi's talent... After all, it would be very dangerous for him to break through the Purple Mansion. If he can get a taste of Mingyang's rebellious character, he will have a better chance of achieving supernatural powers!"

Kuang Yu suddenly realized and sighed deeply:
"Your Excellency has good intentions..."

"And I want to avenge your father... but it's too early..."

Di Yan shook his head, blocking her words, and took the jade talisman that she had been holding in her hand and put it into her palm, saying:
"I'll just arrange this for you... It's up to you to decide how to go in the future and whether to do it or not."

Perhaps it was because the red light in the hall was too bright, which made Kuang Yu's pretty face look a little more rosy. She quietly took her leave, leaving Di Yan sitting in the main seat.

The expression on his face completely disappeared, and there was even a hint of loneliness in his look as he looked at the woman's back. This great master with perfect magical powers was like a bird in a cage, trapped in this small temple. He squinted his eyes and watched Kuang Yu leave dimly.

……

'Diyan...'

Li Ximing flew over the South China Sea on the light, but his deep thoughts were still there.

He now knows quite a lot, and even 80 to 90 percent of what Li Zhouwei knows has been discussed with him. With the major forces showing up one by one and testing them again and again... Li Ximing actually felt a sense of absurdity.

"The matter of Mingyang actually seems like a gambling game!"

This gambling game has the guarantee of [Mingyang is shaken], the bonus of [White Kirin's fate], and the jackpot of [Will he become the new king of Mingyang]. Not only do the leaders from all sides place bets at will, but people like Changxiao, Diyan and even Yuandao take turns to place bets, and are even willing to risk their entire fortune and lives.

"These people are betting more and more, which is equivalent to the whole world pushing forward... There is no chance to turn back."

His eyes were calm as he flew westwards. After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw many attics on the coastline emerging one by one.

Jinghai Protectorate was originally the territory of Zhusheng Zhenren. There was a Shahuang Kingdom here, where most of the people were Jiaozhi people. Now it has collapsed and divided into counties, all of which are run by officials from the Song Dynasty.

When Li Ximing returned, the mountain was surprisingly lively. A group of monks knelt in the hall, not daring to move. Cheng Qian, dressed in white and with a stern look, sat in the main seat, frightening them so much that they dared not breathe.

Li Ximing's sky suddenly appeared, and Chengqian's expression eased:

"Daoyou Zhao Jing!"

As he went to greet Li Ximing, he waved his sleeves and said:
"Go check again!"

All the monks dispersed as if they had been pardoned. Li Ximing saw that he looked solemn and raised his eyebrows and said:

"What's going on here?"

Cheng Qian raised his hand and waved his sleeves, sighing:

"I came here and visited several witch countries, and then I started to deal with the demon chaos... But after much investigation, I found that this matter is not simple. There must be a demon king behind the turmoil in the witch country."

Li Ximing narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Which demon king?"

Chengqian sighed:

"More than one!"

He looked grim, and said:

"These witch countries are sandwiched between two places. One is the territory of Bifu Mountain Lord, whose border is [Black Lacquer Ridge]. The other is also the territory of a mountain lord named Yuandan Mountain Lord, whose border is [Haoling Peak], and he has shown goodwill to Jinghai."

"This Bifu Mountain Master is very famous. I'm sure you know him. His name is Canlufu..."

Although he was intelligent, he was after all an overseas cultivator and was not familiar with the affairs of Jiangnan. He had no idea about the Li family's past or who they had grievances with, so he spoke very naturally.

Li Xi didn't show any reaction on the surface, but his heart suddenly turned cold:

"Still free and happy... I'll keep you happy for a few more decades!"

In the past, when Li Ximing had not yet broken through, the Li family was just a speck of dust in the eyes of Canlufu. Even if Li Ximing had broken through, the entire Li family could only do a somersault in Canlufu's hands. But now it is different. If the Li family gets ruthless and calls on everyone, it can really give the demon king a beating, but it is far from enough to kill him.

Sincerity leads to the truth:

"This Canlufu is a well-known old demon, with extremely high skills and abilities. The other side's Yuantun Mountain Master is only in the middle stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. He only managed to contend with him by winning over several surrounding demon kings and working together."

"The noble general took the territory of Canlufu. Now... the old demon took the territory from the north and gave it to the east. He found an excuse and started a fierce battle between the two sides. He used this opportunity to abduct people and suppress the Lord of Yuantun Mountain..."

This Immortal has not achieved the Purple Palace for long. He has been in the East China Sea for a long time. It is natural that he has a headache when encountering such a thing. Li Ximing exhaled and thought:
"Did the Purple Mansion take action?"

Cheng Qian's expression darkened and he said:
"The trouble is here... The Lord of Bifu Mountain has sent two Purple Mansion Demon Kings to fight back and forth for several times. The ground veins are shaking and they are asking for help. If the fight gets more intense, we may have to help the Yuantun..."

Li Ximing said thoughtfully:

"I vaguely remember... Master Zhusheng has a good friend who is a demon in the local area... His name is Master Xianchan."

"It is the subordinate of the Yuantan Mountain Master!"

Li Ximing hated Can Lufu to begin with, so after hearing this, how could he not side with him? But firstly, he had a stronger desire for revenge, so he was worried about alerting the enemy. Secondly, even if he wanted to take action, he wanted to do it in the name of the Song court, so he said:

"We should support the officials and balance the southern border, but now is not the time to be independent. We must ask the Lord for instructions on everything. Even if we don't have any manpower to send, it would be better to bring one or two spiritual weapons!"

Cheng Qian suddenly felt that this made sense, and replied:
"Senior is still very thoughtful!"

Li Ximing only picked up the pen and used his magical power to write down the scroll. While he was considering the words to report to Yang Xu, he coldly calculated:
'But there is more than one use! The current Qinglu is still far from being found! If we can find out the situation here clearly, find an opportunity, and eliminate one of the demon kings who is close to Canlu Fu, we can also add a talisman to Jiang Qian! '

Thinking of this, he was quite satisfied and had a better impression of Yang Ruiyi:
"No matter how we influence the situation in Southern Xinjiang, we won't have any big troubles with the identity of the Song Dynasty. Compared with the north, this place is much more comfortable. We don't have to face the Buddhist monks in the north, and maybe we can earn some spiritual resources and favors..."

……

Simin County.

Si Min was originally the foundation of Qingchi, but the fairy towers and pavilions were all on the mountain. Although the county was rich and luxurious, it was ultimately a place for mortals. However, when the Song Dynasty was established and made the imperial capital, it gathered together the heroes of the former Yue Kingdom, reformed the system, and built palaces, and it became glorious.

Hidden under the attics, the door of a large but low-key mansion was closed. The inner room was equally quiet. A group of servants stood against the wall, not daring to look up. The only sound was the gentle ringing of bells.

A woman in white was sitting beside the bed, her pure white hands gently twisting a bell, which made a tinkling sound. The boy on the bed was no more than a year old, with a focused expression, his golden eyes fixed on the bell.

The other girl looked even more petite and cute, with her golden eyes looking even brighter. She turned her back and fell asleep close to her mother.

The woman was teasing the child, while a sturdy man beside her was trying on a black robe. The purple and gold ribbon tied around his body made him look extremely majestic.

Li Jiangxia picked up the bronze mirror and looked carefully at the pair of golden eyes in the mirror. Suddenly, she remembered something and asked:

"Master Zhao Jing went to Southern Xinjiang?"

The woman next to her immediately put down the bell in her hand and said softly:
"Yes."

Li Jiangxia then raised his hand and shook his head:

"If he hadn't returned to the lake, he probably wouldn't know what happened to Yuzhi and Suichu. Please ask someone to go to Jinghai and report this to the Lord."

The woman responded in a gentle voice, as if she had something to hide. Li Jiangxia simply waved away the people around him and listened to the woman say:
"I am unlucky, but I have the great fortune to bear a son for the general... But I heard that there are generations in Tingzhou, so whether it's a good pheasant or a good place, I'm afraid it's against the rules."

She looked worried:
"I am not afraid of any gossip, but I am afraid that the two children...will not be liked by the King of Wei!"

Li Jiangxia laughed, shook her head, put on her spiritual boots, and said:
"Don't worry about that. My name [Xia] is not in the rules either. It was given to me by my father."

He turned around and said:

"Now I understand what he meant, so I'm not afraid of any rules. I'm not like Li Jianglong, who had to shamelessly ask for a favor. This is fine... As for you, you gave birth to twins for me, so who would embarrass you?"

Although Li Jiangxia had many concubines, she had no heir for many years. Finally, she went to the Song court and went to war with Xuan, which originally cut off the last bit of her thoughts and allowed her to concentrate on practicing.

The Emperor of Song thought highly of him. Not only did he bestow spiritual resources and treasures on him, he also gave him six daughters to serve him. All of them practiced Jueyin. He was not expecting him to have children, but purely to let him practice dual cultivation and harmonize yin and yang to improve his cultivation.

But perhaps it was because they left Wangyue Lake, where Mingyang was entrenched and their father and brother suppressed them, that their fate was better, or perhaps the Jueyin method was really useful, because among the six girls, there was a girl from Mushroom Forest, whose surname was Zou and name was Xie, who was actually pregnant!
Li Jiangxia was overjoyed, but an even bigger surprise was yet to come. Zou Xie actually gave birth to a pair of children for him!
"Could it be that fate really is not going to work?"

He was delighted to be a father and loved his pair of children very much. He took Zou Xie with him wherever he went. Now that he had returned to the imperial capital to report on his work, he brought the mother and child back with him.

He touched the two children lovingly and said softly:

"The Lord has summoned me, so I will go to the palace."
