Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1109: Outer Pole (1+12) (Qianlong Wuyong Golden Alliance plus 1113)

The purple water gurgles.

The purple light in the hall merged into one, illuminating patches of color. Gongsun Baifan stood outside the cave in fear, not daring to look up - in all these years, let alone entering Ye Hui's cave... he had never even been to the door.

The young man with golden eyes paced casually, glanced around, and stopped beside the purple pond that was as smooth as a mirror.

This water is [Dark Purple Spirit Water], which is the spiritual resource of the "Duwei" sect. It is often regarded as "Purple Qi" and "Fu Shui" by low-level cultivators. Although it is precious, it is not rare.

As this real person watched, the water in the pool quickly boiled, and the dark springs deep underground continued to surge up and were vaporized into pieces of purple spiritual mist. Li Zhouwei took another step forward and stepped lightly!
"Crack!"

It was as if something collapsed deep in the earth, and all the purple water sank in an instant. A point of green light suddenly jumped up, breaking through the air and trying to fly away on the wind, but was restrained by the light of the sky and had to fall into the hands of this immortal.

The first thing that caught Li Zhouwei's eye was the symbol on it. It was a piece of purple gold, extremely gorgeous, with golden runes and four large characters written in red ink:
"Duxian Avenue."

He casually pulled out the talisman, which was as flexible as paper. It fell limply into his hand. The light dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the object inside.

This object is about the size of a palm, made of a peculiar material, and is extremely pleasing to the eye with an irregular edge, yet extremely beautiful. Holding it in the hand is like holding a token, with five mysterious runes on it, a gold dot in the middle, and four round silver-purple dots on the four sides.

The back is flat, with four golden characters:

【Grand View of Jingyang】.

"It's a... storage device."

The material of this thing is very special. It can store spiritual objects. It seems that it has been transformed into a spiritual embryo by some kind of ritual refining method! If he hadn't torn off the talisman paper, the opportunity fate caused by the destruction of the mountain and the extermination of the family outside would still be increasing its power.

He took a quick look with his spiritual sense and was slightly stunned.

The inside was a light green color, with rippling water, clear and transparent, with all kinds of light and colors shining against each other. It was obviously some kind of spiritual water, and a white jade slip was sinking in the water.

It just happened to be a pool of [submerged water].

Li Zhouwei had a somewhat intriguing expression. He did not take it out, but secretly put away the Qingling first, walked down, and walked out of the hall with Gongsun Baifan.

The young man with golden eyes, wearing white and purple clothes and a black cloud robe, had been waiting outside the hall. When he saw Li Zhouwei stepping out, he quickly saluted and said:
"Father, General Yang wants to see you!"

Li Zhouwei was not surprised. He nodded and took a step. The father and son stepped into the void and floated forward. Li Jianglong waited for a long time and whispered:
"Thank you, father... for your divine power. My son and my two brothers... are all grateful and delighted."

After Duxian was conquered, Li Jiangxia was sent to clean up the remnants in the area, while Li Jiangliang brought the two Lianmin back to the capital. Only he was ordered to pick up Li Zhouwei, and what he mentioned was naturally Guangchan's affairs.

He lowered his eyebrows and eyes, but Li Zhouwei didn't laugh or get angry, he nodded and said:
"Shi Xiu is very calculating and plotting against you, so you better be careful."

Li Jianglong quickly swallowed what he was about to say and nodded in agreement.

But the Baiyedu Immortal Road is too close to the wilderness. After hearing these words, Li Jianglong found that he had actually fallen from the void and saw the glorious hall. The descendant of the Yang family dressed in black was standing in front of the door, coming to greet him in person!

"Congratulations, King Wei."

"Congratulations, General!"

Li Jianglong could only stop again and watch his father stride into the hall and disappear into the gloomy bronze ghost hall.

Yang Ruiyi's face was ruddy and he looked extremely happy. He led Li Zhouwei forward in a very intimate manner. King Wei of the Song Dynasty took a quick glance and found that his uncle was standing beside him with a smile on his face. He had drunk half a cup of tea on the table beside him. It was obvious that they had been talking for a while.

Yang Ruiyi said:
"The King of Wei's axe has spread far and wide, and has shocked the Jianghuai region. It is truly...unexpected!"

Li Ximing raised his eyebrows, hearing the hidden meaning:

"For Yang Ruiyi to say the word 'unexpected', it seems that the underworld is not prepared! It turns out... the master in the sky can also be unexpected!"

His mood suddenly brightened. After listening to Yang Ruiyi's generous praise, Li Zhouwei tried to decline, and then Yang Ruiyi smiled and said:

"The great achievement of the King of Wei has been reported to His Majesty. His Majesty is very pleased and personally praised him in front of all the officials, saying that this is unprecedented in the history of the dynasty and the first achievement of beheading a general!"

"In a few days, there should be an order to go to the capital to see the emperor and bestow lavish gifts on him!"

When these words were spoken, both Li's masters were surprised. Li Ximing's expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little hesitant. The smile on Yang Ruiyi's face changed a little, and he stared at his face with some concern.

Li Zhouwei smiled and said:

"The grace of the Holy Lord is so great that I shall return to the lake, take off my armor, burn incense, and correct my nature before the Supreme Being."

After hearing this, Yang Ruiyi seemed to be secretly relieved, and even showed some gratitude. His voice became much softer, and he didn't even say many polite words. He hurriedly said:
"Great...Great, I won't disturb the King of Wei..."

Seeing the two Lis bowing and retreating together, Yang Ruiyi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly returned to the main seat, and pushed the teacup away in an upset manner.

"Your Majesty...what exactly are you thinking..."

If the incident with Guangchan was already an accident, then summoning Li Zhouwei was an even more unexpected change. At least from Yang Ruiyi's level and perspective, Yang had never thought of letting the emperor meet!

It’s not that there is any taboo about emperors meeting each other...it’s just that there is no need at all!

"These two are the biggest variables. One represents Ming Yang, and the other represents Zhen Qi. They are already extremely difficult to control. Why do we have to let them collide with each other?"

'Every move of the two is a symbol. If the Emperor of Song makes any unexpected move to suppress the King of Wei, wouldn't he offend people for no reason? This is still good. If... if there is a slight possibility that the Emperor is outmaneuvered by the King... how embarrassing it would be in the underworld! '

But Yang Xuan is not the Emperor of Zhao. If he really gives the order to summon him, who would dare to say no?

This made him even more anxious, with mixed feelings:
"Not to mention Hirotsuchi's matter..."

What made him happy was that there would be no wind in the north for a while, but he thought about breaking the impasse, but he didn't expect that Li Zhouwei would kill the man with a single blow of his axe!

Li Zhouwei killed Guangchan with great majesty and his martial arts skills were shining brightly. This matter can only be said to be a mixed blessing. The Emperor Song was very happy, but what about the underworld? The underworld probably disliked things that changed the status quo!
'Whoever is concerned about the overall situation doesn't like changes, even if the changes are in their favor... But as long as there is a first time, there will be a second time. Who knows what changes will happen next? It's better not to change! '

Of course, people like Li Zhouwei are variables in themselves. The higher his cultivation level, the more likely he is to change the situation. But it's too early...

He thought about it for a while, and could only let go of his thoughts and secretly comfort himself:
"Fortunately, this is not something I have to deal with. At least from Yang Ruiyi's perspective, it's a good thing no matter how you look at it!"

“What’s more, the emperors have to meet each other. It’s a good thing to meet them early while Li Zhouwei is still in the Purple Palace. If you wait until both of you are at the peak of the Purple Palace and have perfected your magical powers, then meet them… I’m afraid the adults will have to come down and watch in person!”

Thinking about that scene, he even felt a little chilly and sighed deeply. He just felt that this position was like being on the edge of a knife, which was really uncomfortable.

...

Zhijing Mountain.

The light of the bright sun fell one after another. Li Ximing straightened his clothes and said with a smile:

"It seems that the underworld has miscalculated."

Li Zhouwei took a step forward with his hands behind his back, sat down at the jade table, filled the pot with tea, and said:

"It's just the beginning."

"Besides..."

He took a sip of tea and said:

"I don't think it's a miscalculation. The only one who lost is the master of the Damu Dharma Realm. The underworld seems to be fanning the flames. Today's incident is a bit like the carp going south to occupy the guest position of Zhenqi. Without the permission of the big shots in the underworld, things cannot succeed."

Li Ximing fell into deep thought, but Li Zhouwei smiled. His face was originally tough, and the rare smile wiped away the fierceness on his face:

"But it's also a good thing - no matter what, Faxiang is still a True Lord. Regardless of whether he borrowed the power of another party, this matter is real."

“That’s a good sign.”

He paused slightly, his eyebrows and eyes became prominent:
"Since the Dharma Image can miscalculate, then the True Lord can also miscalculate. In the past few hundred years, they have always exchanged and conspired. What if my position and the golden position I seek cannot be exchanged and conspired? How can I break the situation? The people at the top are not omnipotent. That's enough."

Li Zhouwei's smile became even more intense:

"Uncle thought Emperor Song was so happy about something!"

"Did you kill Guangchan? No!"

This sentence woke Li Ximing up from his dream. He was shocked and frightened, and murmured:
"I see!"

He thought about it for a long time, but still found it difficult to understand Li Zhouwei's idea:

"Emperor Song...if he follows the rules, he will surely be a position that no one in the world can reach. Why must he do this?"

Li Zhouwei poured him more tea and said:

"Tianwu, how can you be inferior to others? If I can easily understand what the underworld is planning, I can't stay in the netherworld and watch the world from afar."

Li Ximing nodded and said hesitantly:
"As for... meeting the emperor."

Li Zhouwei smiled and said:
"Let him do what he wants. It doesn't matter if he is popular or not for a while. He knows the light and the darkness by himself. After a hundred years of competition, it is still unknown who will be the emperor."

His golden eyes were shining, and the gloomy golden color in his eyes made Li Ximing speechless for a long time. He sighed deeply and said:
"it is good!"

The two of them settled the matter. Before Li Zhouwei could speak, Li Ximing was already smiling happily. He hurriedly took out a bunch of things from his sleeves, first holding up a golden pagoda, and said:
"This is happening!"

"I just went to the wilderness and made some inquiries. Guangchan's pagoda is made of Mingfang Tianshi mixed with Lihuo's Chongming Jinjing. It looks like a Buddhist thing, but it's actually very valuable!"

He quickly put the thing down, then raised the spear and said:
“And this Lihuo Spear is equally strong. Half of the [Heavenly Red Gold] is used for the spear body, and one part of [Heavenly Sun Colored Copper] is used for the spear head. Although it is very thin, it is still there!”

Li Ximing said solemnly:
"When the Emperor reincarnated the [Lihuo Gun], he used [Tianyang Colored Copper]! This item is comparable to [Tianyi Chunyuan]."

Li Zhouwei just smiled and said:

"Better than I am."

Li Ximing's smile deepened, and he said:

"Yang Ruiyi also mentioned that Guangchan is a very peculiar person. These things have not been transformed into Buddhism and Taoism at all. He only made a framework. He then used his own immortal way to reconcile the achievements of Buddhist cultivation. It took some time to smash the golden pagoda. These raw materials can be used for 80% to 90%!"

"Most of the materials for this gun are mixed together. It will be difficult to refine it if it is smashed. It will take quite some time to refine it."

Li Zhouwei was shocked and a little surprised:

"This monk...why does he have to go through all these twists and turns?"

Li Ximing sneered:

"Yang Ruiyi saw through it at a glance and said that he was still thinking about returning to the devil's way, so he must have a way out!"

Li Zhouwei seemed to be thinking about something. The female water glass lotus throne had turned into the size of a palm and was held in Li Ximing's palm. He said:

"This is also a good thing. It was modified from a female water spirit object. Unfortunately, it was modified too much. It should have been given to him by a Buddhist cultivator. The materials have been mixed. Unless you are a master of weapon arts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to modify it back."

Then he took out the cassock and the black drum with white leather and gold edges, and said:
"These two things are inferior, and you broke them. They are also good treasures for the monks!"

Li Zhouwei glanced at it and said with a smile:

"This is not a difficult matter. The old master of Qusi Mountain is a great master of the Way of Weapons. I'd like to trouble you to go to Qusi Mountain and discuss it with us. There will be a solution."

Li Ximing nodded and said:

"I just thought of something. Not only that old Taoist priest, but also Liao Luo Taoist priest is also good at this! If we can't alarm the old Taoist priest, we can just go find him."

Li Zhouwei stopped smiling, took out the jade box from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said:

"Uncle mentioned the harvest, and coincidentally, I have also gained a lot here."

Only then did he bring up the topic of the trip to Dali Mountain. Li Ximing seemed to want to say something but stopped talking several times, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

After a long while, Li Ximing said:
"Although Senior Liu may have chosen to be with us for profit, who wouldn't be with us for profit? The generations of friendship, the many times we helped each other, and even today when he was guarding the East China Sea, all of these cannot be erased. His true feelings are revealed, and it doesn't seem fake."

"Junior understands."

Li Zhouwei let him relax for a while, then pushed the jade box and said:

"As for this thing... Qing Yu said it is [Zhong Que Chen Yuan], also called [Yin Duan Wai Qi]."

"【The final part of the poem is about Chen Yuan】?"

Li Ximing took another look and listened to Li Zhouwei's complicated expression:
"【Taiyin Moonlight】is the Yin pole. This thing is the outermost Yin. It is located in the place where Taiyin fell and hid. It combines Yin and nature. It is the most Yin thing. Because it is a sign of the most Yin, it cannot be accepted by humans. If you swallow this energy, you will die immediately."

Li Ximing secretly pondered the meaning of it, while Li Zhouwei said:
“But if this thing encounters the yin and yang energy, it will manifest as the symbol of the yin extreme seeking change, and then it will become another way. It is extremely useful in alchemy and refining. In the words of Qing Yuqian: [Ancient monks flocked to it. If you get one of them, you will keep it in your pocket and spend your whole life to imitate it, so that your name will be passed on to future generations and admired by thousands of people!]”

Li Ximing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked:

"What does [then do it] mean?"

Li Zhouwei still had a sense of amazement and replied:

"Qing Yuqian gave me the most famous example... There was once an ancient True Lord named Zuo Yuan. Before he became a Taoist, he studied the Taiyin Dao system, but he lacked magical powers, so he retreated to Jueyin Dao. He had no weapons to use, but fortunately he got a copy of Zhong Que Chen Yuan."

"He then sought help from the then world-renowned weapon refining grandmaster [Sikong You]. When this man saw [Zhongque Chen Yuan], he knew that the time had come for his fame to be passed down through the generations, so he sacrificed his life and refined a [Second Phase Taigong Star] for him."

"I heard that this thing is neither extreme nor lacking, neither full nor incomplete, and is located between Taiyin and Jueyin, yet it has both aspects. Its unpredictable changes have attracted worldwide attention. Zhenren [Zuoyuan] even ascended to Jueyin through this and became a Zhenjun!"

Li Ximing gradually fell into deep thought while Li Zhouwei sighed:

"I heard that the golden position achieved by this True Lord is extremely peculiar. He clearly ascended to the Jueyin position, but the celestial position is not far from the Taiyin celestial region. To repay [Sikong You], He suspended [the Second Phase Taigong Star] in the sky as the last minor star, to make it known to the world."

"From then on, [Second Phase Taigong Star] became one of the stars worshipped by craftsmen. It was often used to predict the fate of a lifetime. It was the most important star!"

Li Ximing listened for a long time without saying anything, as if he was thinking about the mystery. After a long while, he said:

"I understand! It is such a precious treasure! To use it well... the requirements for instrument skills and even Taoism are probably extremely high!"

He looked at the small jade bottle in the jade box with a complicated expression:

"There are four more bottles of this treasure in the world of Sun and Moon!"

The two looked at each other and realized the horror of it:
"If you get one of these things, you will have the potential to reach the gold level. How much immortal merit can it be worth? !"

"That gentleman who is suspected to be Li Jiangqun... has five bottles... and this is the remaining half box. Where did he use the remaining half box?"

The two of them were silent for a while, and at the same time put aside the topic. They did not dare to put the thing in the storage bag. They quietly put it away and prepared to send it back to the world of the sun and the moon. Li Zhouwei then took out the second thing he got from entering the mountain, which was a golden and extremely heavy spiritual scroll:
[Taixu Yuanxu Xuansi Construction Method]!
This book is extremely long, and is filled with golden characters. Any symbol dropped into the spiritual consciousness would represent thousands of profound words. Even Li Ximing, a master of the Purple Mansion, was overwhelmed and dazzled by it. Only with the blessing of his divine power could he read it clearly.

Li Zhouwei sighed and said:
"I have read the Xuan Gang and found that this thing is indeed extremely valuable. Si Boxiu made the right decision to collect the Qingqi spiritual object. It can solve a big problem, but it only solves one or two problems."

Li Ximing put it away solemnly and said:

"I know this thing is precious, and I don't know how long it will take to collect the spiritual resources. We have to wait for Que Wan to come out of retreat so that we can discuss this matter together."

Although the conditions at home were good, there was still a big gap to building a secret realm in Taixu. The two younger generations were about to achieve the Purple Palace, which would inevitably be a huge expense. Li Zhouwei did not mention it much, took out the green jade obtained from the Duxian Dao from his sleeve, handed it to Li Ximing, and said with a smile:
"Uncle, take a look. This is something I got from the Duxian Dao... This item was placed deep in the earth veins and used to make sacrifices to destroy the mountain and the family."

There is nothing taboo here. Li Ximing flipped his hand and took out the jade slip. After taking a look at it, he was surprised:
"[Yundu Taoism Secret Book]? This is..."

Li Zhouwei shook his head and smiled:
"Uncle, read it carefully."

Li Ximing spent some time reading it, and said in silence for a long time:

"It's like... a secret method to enter the cave heaven... only half of it... and it needs to rely on some mysterious order, which is too complicated. This half is still in my hand, and it is useless to you and me..."

This made Li Zhouwei laugh:
"Ye Hui...actually likes to play this kind of trick. It seems...he has a good understanding of the situation...and has a lot of thoughts in his mind..."

Li Ximing was silent for a moment, looked carefully for a while, and asked doubtfully:

"What does this... mean?"

Li Zhouwei smiled and said:
"Ye Hui is a man of high moral character and deep scheming. How could he risk leaving something in the mountains? How could this thing be discovered by my Dharma body? I had my suspicions to begin with, and when I saw the sinking water in the pond, I had a clue... This person... left this thing for me on purpose. What's wrong with it? Why did he have to leave this sinking water?... It's a hint, and it's also where his ability lies!"

"He knows that I will definitely defeat the Immortal Sect! He also knows that my family is in dire need of water!"

Li Ximing was silent for a moment, then replied:

"This half of the [Cloud City Entry Secret Book]... is it his sincerity?"

Li Zhouwei nodded and said:

"Uncle, do you remember how this man got his start?"

Li Ximing suddenly realized:
"Dou Xuan Mountain——【Chu Yitian】! Is the one in your hand the Xuan Ling?!"

But he soon became suspicious and whispered:

"He, Ye Hui, offered such a temptation... He must be asking for something, right? What in my family is worth his exchange?"

Li Zhouwei shook his head and said with a smile:

"There is nothing to covet in my family... but the situation in the north and south - there are many things for him to covet! Situ Huo wants to surrender, but doesn't anyone want to surrender? This person is arrogant and will never surrender to Shi Xiu, but Shi Xiu covets his cultivation. How can he rely on Shi Xiu?"

"How many Dharma images of the Seven Northern Phases have occupied the essence of 'Duwei', 'Huaqi'? How can we allow him to covet 'Duwei'! 'Duwei' is a road to the spirits of the Dushan Mountain, and it often interacts with ghosts and monsters. Isn't it great to be thrown into the underworld?"

Li Ximing suddenly understood:

"I see...I see! He is so brave!"

The real person still found it hard to believe and said:
"I heard that... Wei Xuanyin treated him very well and entrusted him with important tasks, but he actually didn't care about friendship at all and was planning betrayal from the beginning to the end!"

"Friendship? How can it be as important as a position of gold!"

Li Zhouwei smiled and said:
"He wants to please the underworld, not the true Qi, so he has to make a big change in the situation. He has been planning this since the day he joined the Northern Army. I once wondered why he came to save my uncle in advance if he wanted to join the Northern Army, and why he came to my mountain gate to say such a thing... His so-called mutual help is simply bullshit. He expressed his ambitions... just to show that he would not join the Northern Army and pave the way for this day!"

"Yang Ruiyi is good at defense but not at attack. He won't be able to hold on to his army for too long. Situ Huo might sell him out. Only my family has been in his sight for a long time. He also knows that my family will definitely fall into the hands of the South, so he made arrangements in advance... which is the most appropriate."

"And my family is a clan, so we take the younger generation into consideration. This cave is the most suitable place to support the younger generation. It even has the [Wuguan Heritage]. There is no doubt that my family will be tempted!"

Li Zhouwei's eyes are as bright as stars:

"Of course there is another point - he doesn't know whether his surrender is part of the calculations of both sides... Is Yang Ruiyi reliable? Is he willing to accept him as a variable? But I am certain - this King of Wei will not miss the opportunity to defeat the north, and he is definitely willing to accept variables!"

"There is one thing that my uncle said is right."

The King of Wei of the Song Dynasty was somewhat impressed and whispered:

"This man is so courageous and ambitious... He is rare in this world!"
