Chapter 606: Holy Fire Message
Li Xuan used both deception and threats to finally calm Xie Qingmo down a bit.

This man looked more mature and steady than Aimu, but when he went crazy he was even more violent.

"Ayimu, have you reported the news about the Western Region Fire Demon back to the headquarters?"

Li Xuan was afraid that Xie Qingmo would go crazy again, so he quickly got down to business.

Seeing Li Xuan asking questions, Aimu nodded repeatedly and quickly answered:

"Ayimu naturally dares not neglect the order of Master Xuan."

"After you left that night, I used a special communication method to pass the message back. I guess the headquarters should have received the message by now."

Li Xuan was stunned and looked at the sky outside the window.

He came to see Aimu late at night yesterday, and it has been less than twelve hours since then. Has the news been delivered to the Western Region Headquarters of the Holy Fire Cult?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not received any news from Jiangnan Dao yet. It turns out that the Holy Fire Cult is so efficient.

When Li Xuan was secretly surprised, Xie Qingmo beside him explained:
"Master Xuan, you don't know."

"This girl Ayimu used the special communication method of the capital branch without my consent, so the news was transmitted so quickly."

"But she is only a candidate saint now. Such an operation is against the rules. Regardless of whether the news is true or false, it will be recorded."

"If someone takes advantage of me again, I'm afraid that the annual assessment I passed will be in vain."

As Xie Qingmo spoke, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

What worried Xie Qingmo the most about this matter was not that Aimu trusted Li Xuan too easily, but this illegal operation.

Just as Aimu said, the news has almost been delivered to the headquarters, and Xie Qingmo now has no way to make up for it.

Li Xuan looked at Aimu's smug smile as he was trying to take credit, and then at Xie Qingmo's sad face, and he knew that they were not just talking casually.

"I never thought that the Holy Fire Cult actually had such an efficient way of communication. I wonder if it could be popularized to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as well?"

Li Xuan's eyes turned, and then he asked without hesitation:

"What's your method?"

“It’s amazing that the news can spread so quickly.”

Aimu shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.

"I will only follow the steps to send the message, but what is the specific principle..."

She only knows how to use the communication method, but she doesn't know the principles behind it.

Aimu silently turned his head and looked at Xie Qingmo.

Xie Qingmo looked at Li Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"Master Xuan, the Holy Fire Sect's secret method of communication is related to the Holy Fire of the sect. I only know that the materials needed for communication are very valuable and can only be produced in the main temple."

"Every year, each branch temple receives a set of materials to be used in the summons, and they will receive new materials the following year. As for those that were not used last year, they will be taken back by the messenger of the main temple."

"Although it is the end of the year and the original subpoena materials are about to be taken back, I didn't expect Aimu to use them by accident."

After listening to Xie Qingmo's explanation, Li Xuan became even more confused.

Flame? Message? Materials?

Li Xuan used his imagination, but he couldn't imagine what kind of communication method this was.

It was Aimu who saw Li Xuan frowning, leaned close to his ear and whispered:
"We can perform a simple ceremony with these materials and speak to the fire, and the contents will be transmitted back to the main altar."

Li Xuan widened his eyes in shock and looked up at Aimu.

When Aimu met Li Xuan's big, beautiful eyes, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart and her whole body went numb.

"Ah~ I'm dead!"

Aimu bit her red lips tightly, unable to describe her feelings at the moment. She only felt her body was burning hot, as if it was about to melt.

Li Xuan didn't realize that his unintentional cuteness almost cost Aimu's life. He just saw Aimu drooling and almost drooling on his head.

Li Xuan immediately broke free from Aimu's arms and climbed back onto the table.

His current situation is like a wolf in front and a tiger behind. He is in a dilemma and can only guard the small piece of land on the table.

Li Xuan placed his front paws on the center of the table, then wrapped his tail around his body to protect himself.

"Ayimu, just speak, don't drool."

Li Xuan criticized seriously.

"Oh--"

Aimu agreed obediently and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Seeing that Li Xuan was interested in their communication method, Xie Qingmo continued to explain:
"Master Xuan, this method of communication requires a flame separated from the Holy Fire. It is very difficult to replicate, and now it is only popularized in a few important altars."

Since Xie Qingmo said so, Li Xuan had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​learning this method of transmitting messages.

"If Master Xuan is interested, you can go to the main altar to have a look. You may even have a chance to get the flame of the Holy Fire."

Hearing this, Li Xuan glanced at Xie Qingmo.

He discovered that no matter whether it was Aimu or Xie Qingmo, after confirming that he was the prophesied savior beast, they always wanted to take him to the headquarters of the Holy Fire Cult in the Western Regions.

It seemed as if Li Xuan's going there was very important to them.

"What will happen if the prophesied savior beast goes to the Holy Fire Cult headquarters?"

This question couldn't help but arise in Li Xuan's mind, arousing his curiosity.

But now it is still a long way for him to have the opportunity to go to the Western Regions, so he should first solve the problem at hand.

For Li Xuan, the most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the threat of King Zheng as soon as possible and stabilize the internal situation of the Daxing Dynasty.

"Since the news about the Western Region Fire Demon has been delivered to the Holy Fire Cult, how long do you think it will take for them to send someone over?"

"Ayimu said that the Holy Fire Cult has been hunting down the Western Region Fire Demon for many years."

While Li Xuan was speaking, he looked at Xie Qingmo.

Xie Qingmo thought for a moment and said, "If it is a normal email, it will take at least ten days or half a month."

"But Aimu's reckless behavior is likely to cause a big mess at the headquarters."

"If her uncle heard about this, I'm afraid she would come here alone to kill us without waiting for orders from the sect."

Xie Qingmo explained in detail their method of sending letters.

As the person in charge of the branch temple and an elder of the sect, Xie Qingmo had his own way of conveying messages to the main temple.

This method is more formal and can allow the headquarters to be prepared to receive the message and arrange the corresponding personnel.

But Aimu's casual approach would cause the headquarters to mistakenly believe that it was an urgent message concerning her life.

This kind of information will be directly reported to the Saint and a number of high-ranking members of the church. It is easy for it to be leaked, causing turmoil in the church.

"If my guess is correct, her uncle will be here any time."

Li Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect there was such a thing.

He turned to look at Aimu, who just stuck out her tongue and didn't take it seriously.

Li Xuan knew that Aimu’s uncle was the former saint, the one who was most miserably deceived by the Western Region Fire Demon.

Li Xuan naturally welcomed her to seek revenge, but he didn't know whether she was strong enough.

"The Western Region Fire Demon is now at the second level of cultivation. Can Ayimu's uncle do it?"

"Don't let her make this trip in vain."

Li Xuan said kindly.

Xie Qingmo sighed: "Alas, I haven't been able to swallow this anger for thirty years, so why would I care about these things?"

"Ayimu's uncle's strength is not bad, between the second and third rank."

"But this person has a strange personality. If he is not restrained by anyone, he will easily get into trouble. If he causes trouble for the Holy Fire Cult on his way here, then all the blame will be on this damn girl!"

Xie Qingmo glared at Ayimu angrily, and Ayimu shrank back and hid herself behind Li Xuan. Li Xuan was so small, how could he hide the whole Ayimu?

Li Xuan was speechless when he realized that Aimu just hid her head behind him.

"Who cares? As long as I can be of help, that's fine."

"If there really is trouble, the worst that can happen is that Aimu will continue to stay in the capital and be an oiran."

Li Xuan didn't think it was a big deal and didn't take it to heart.

He knew that it would be good enough if the reinforcements from the Holy Fire Cult could arrive in time, preferably in time for the next battle with the Western Region Fire Demon.

In fact, Li Xuan is now afraid that the Western Region Fire Demon will disappear and never be found again.

Although there were monk Chengche and other disciples of the Fuhu Temple, as well as people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Buddhist sect as witnesses, so that Aimu would not be blamed by the church for passing on the message, Li Xuan was really worried about letting a master like the Western Region Fire Demon continue to ambush in the dark and become a helper of Prince Zheng's Palace.

"Elder Xie, you don't have to worry too much."

"As long as we can kill the Western Region Fire Demon, wouldn't Aimu have accomplished a great feat?"

Xie Qingmo smiled helplessly, thinking: "It's not that simple."

But since the person in front of him was Li Xuan, he couldn't be too blunt.

Li Xuan also discovered that although Xie Qingmo seemed to distrust Li Xuan before, he was actually worried that Aimu would be implicated in this matter.

He remembered that Aimu's master, the current Saint of the Holy Fire Sect, was Xie Qingmo's sister, so they were real relatives.

"Even if I can't take down the Western Region Fire Demon, I can get someone influential enough to prove the existence of the Western Region Fire Demon, so you don't have to worry about the Holy Fire Cult's pursuit of responsibility."

"If they still want to investigate, just say that I coerced Aimu."

"It's a good opportunity to see how many of you from the Holy Fire Sect are willing to acknowledge my identity as a holy beast."

When Xie Qingmo heard Li Xuan's words, he was immediately startled.

He didn't expect that Li Xuan was not only extremely intelligent as a beastman, but also so meticulous in his thinking.

Xie Qingmo immediately expressed his opinion: "Master Xuan, what are you talking about?"

"How could any disciple of the Holy Fire Sect who knows something about the prophecy and knows that Master Xuan is extraordinary have any doubts about your identity?"

"You can rest assured. Just like me and Ayimu, as long as we meet you, we will quickly respect you as the holy beast of the religion."

Xie Qingmo did not forget to give the Holy Fire Church an insurance while speaking.

If there are indeed disciples of the Holy Fire Sect who are skeptical of Li Xuan, it must be because they do not have a deep understanding of the prophecy, or they do not understand Li Xuan's extraordinary qualities.

Li Xuan also heard the hidden meaning in Xie Qingmo's words, but he didn't say much, just smiled slightly.

"I'll keep an eye on you guys."

Li Xuan left this sentence and then disappeared from the table.

Xie Qingmo instinctively looked out the window, but still didn't see any trace. He was shocked at Li Xuan's speed.

"It must be the savior of the holy beast."

"It has to be!"

Xie Qingmo had only heard of such powerful beastmen in legends.

Not long ago, Li Xuan's strength was far from being so terrifying.

This growth rate made Xie Qingmo certain of his guess.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Aimu opposite him.

Who would have thought that she would be the first one to spread the news that Li Xuan was the savior beast in the prophecy.

"Sister, it seems that your vision..."

Just as Xie Qingmo was about to sigh, he saw Aimu on the other side holding her cheek shyly and laughing foolishly:

"Hey, hey, did you hear that?"

"Master Xuan said he wanted to pay attention to me. How embarrassing!"

🇧🇷
Xie Qingmo had a dull look on his face, thinking to himself:

"This damn girl is really lucky!"

"Also, Master Xuan clearly said that he wanted to pay attention to the two of us, right?"

……

Li Xuan returned to the palace and went to find the two stewards yawning.

Fortunately, these two old men have been staying up late recently and have not gone to bed yet.

Although the two eunuchs hold prominent positions in the palace and hold real power in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they have to work hard when something happens.

Li Xuan told the two stewards that he had invited two masters to visit Monk Chengche tomorrow, and both of them showed expressions of approval.

"Ah Xuan, you did a great job. I had originally thought that after Cheng Che woke up, I would find an opportunity to explain things to the two masters, but I didn't expect that they would be willing to go directly to the palace."

Manager Shang expressed his approval of this.

After all, when he wanted to take those little monks away, Master Chenghai had expressed firm opposition, which led to what happened later.

According to intelligence from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ci'en Temple was peaceful that day and nothing happened.

This actually made Shang Zongguan a little disappointed. After all, if King Zheng could make a mistake here, it would be a great opportunity.

He had heard from Old Ye that the Western Region Fire Demon's mental state was not stable and he might do something rash.

But now it seems that the Western Region Fire Demon should have been stabilized by Prince Zheng's Mansion.

After Li Xuan finished talking about the two masters' visit to the palace tomorrow, he also talked about how he had gained nothing at the Sixteenth Prince's House.

Hearing this, the two stewards couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Ah Xuan, you should have asked us earlier."

"Prince Zheng's Mansion at the Sixteenth Prince's Residence is not important. Prince Zheng is not usually there."

"Prince Zheng has many private properties and estates in the capital and outside the city. His whereabouts are usually erratic. It is only easy to find him when he is in court. Normally, he is hard to find."

Li Xuan blushed slightly, but he was in a good mood today, so he was not prepared.

Being teased by the two stewards, Li Xuan embarrassedly changed the subject and talked about Master Shanle's Buddhist magical powers.

"That old monk said that he had mastered the Buddhist supernatural power of telepathy. Although he didn't elaborate on the effect, it was true that he was able to find my whereabouts."

"Is this telepathy really some kind of mind-reading skill?"

Li Xuan was too embarrassed to say that he had said a lot of nonsense in front of Master Shanle.

"The six magical powers of Buddhism?"

The two stewards looked at each other with serious expressions.

Finally, it was Chief Steward Shang who spoke up: "We have only heard about this matter, and we don't have a deep understanding of it. Only a few monks in the Buddhist community know about it."

Zhao Feng on the side also continued: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs does have some recorded cases, but those seem very mysterious, but they can generally be explained by Taoism."

"But we have to admit that there is indeed a force in the dark that can make these Buddhist monks produce some very similar abilities."

"These abilities are also known as the six magical powers of Buddhism."

Even the two successive chief stewards of the Imperial Household Department could not explain the six supernatural powers of Buddhism clearly, which made Li Xuan feel that Buddhism was even more mysterious.

Just as the two men and the cat were looking at each other in silence, the shadow not far away suddenly moved, and Old Ye walked out from it.

As soon as Mr. Ye appeared, he simply said:
"The six magical powers of Buddhism are real!"
