The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 228: No one in the world would be tempted by an insignificant stone

"This part of the sky is poisonous. How come the fire has burned me all of a sudden?"

Xi Mingzhang said silently: "Forget it, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, just bear with it."

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tude Hall.

A middle-aged official who looked like a deity walked into the hall and said respectfully:
"Star Lord, the Star Lord of Destiny is here to visit."

Xi Mingzhang, who was handling some official documents at the main seat, spoke without even raising his head:
"Please come in."

"Yes."

Not long after, Xi Mingzhang heard footsteps. He looked up and saw a man and two women walking in. He looked at one of the women and said,
"You don't want to repay me, do you? I guess I can become the Lord of Earthly Virtue because of Qingqiu's help. In this way, you can repay me."

“So, go back to where you came from.”

After hearing this, Bai Fengjiu said with disdain:
"Aunt, let me tell you, he is a heartless and ungrateful person, and he is not worthy of your care and love at all."

Bai Qian did not show any emotion, but said with a smile:
"Indeed, we have settled our grudges. I came to the Nine Heavens Palace just to ask you to help me practice."

Xi Mingzhang's eyebrows moved slightly, and with a hint of weirdness in his tone, he said:
"Help you practice?"

Siming Xingjun coughed dryly, waved his hand to close the doors and windows of the hall, set up a barrier, and said:
"Huang Tian, ​​you don't know that the seal that suppresses Qingcang will be lifted in 70,000 years. Before this, my aunt ignored her own safety and reinforced the seal alone, which led to her being ambushed. Her appearance was completely destroyed, her cultivation was lost, and she became a mortal. If she wants to recover, she must go through a mental tribulation."

"God Zheyan came to Taichen Palace to discuss with the Emperor, saying that you are the best person to help my aunt overcome her mental tribulation."

"For the sake of peace in the world, my aunt risked her life to suppress Qingcang. Naturally, the emperor was deeply moved. The emperor had noticed that the seal on the Ruoshui River had loosened before, and wanted to take action on the day the seal was lifted, but he didn't expect my aunt to step forward in secret."

"So I couldn't just stand by and watch my aunt's current situation, so I promised the Supreme God Zheyan to let my aunt hide her identity and become an immortal official in Tude Palace."

After hearing this, Xi Mingzhang was speechless.

"Huang Tian, ​​in the past we were not only neighbors, but also good friends. You shouldn't reject me cruelly, right?" Bai Qian said with a smile.

Xi Mingzhang smiled and said calmly:
"If I reject you cruelly, will you just turn around and leave?"

"You still like to joke as always." Bai Qian smiled.

"There are not too many bedrooms in Tude Palace, but not too few either. Just find a maid and let her take you to choose one."

Xi Mingzhang's eyes fell on a certain Star Lord who was watching with great interest:
"Si Ming, have you had enough fun today? Do you want to stay and watch more?"

"Ah? I sent my aunt to Tude Temple on the orders of the Emperor. Now it's time to go back and report." Sima Xingjun waved his hand.

Soon, Bai Qian and Bai Fengjiu walked out of the hall, and Siming Xingjun, who was still in the hall, said:
"Huang Tian, ​​I say you should just give in. If the wealthy and powerful Eastern Wasteland Lady is attracted to you, if this news gets out, I wonder how many people in the world will beat their chests in jealousy."

"Why do you think they hate me?" Xi Mingzhang chuckled.
"Is it because the status of the Queen of Qingqiu is too noble? Or is it because she has an unparalleled beauty that can overwhelm a whole city and a whole country?"

Siming Xingjun pondered and said:
“It should be both.”

"To me, identity and appearance are like stones encountered while walking on the road." Xi Mingzhang said as a matter of course:

"I think no one in the world would be tempted by an insignificant stone."

Upon hearing this, Siming Xingjun couldn't help but sigh:
"You are the second person whom I cannot help but admire. You are not much different from the Emperor. You only care about what you want to care about, and you have no interest in other things in the world." "I am shallow in Taoism and virtue, so I dare not be compared with the Emperor. For me, practicing is the greatest joy in the world." Xi Mingzhang's eyes were shining.

On the other side, in the courtyard, Bai Fengjiu said angrily:

"Aunt, Huang Tian looks friendly and polite, but in fact, he is as cold as a stone. You must not hang yourself on this tree."

"Fengjiu, before coming to the Nine Heavens Palace, Zheyan told me the origin of Emperor Donghua. He has no father or mother, and at first he had no name or surname. He was born in the ancient turbulent times. Because he was born in Huaze, the blue sea and the green spirit, and the land belongs to the East Desert, he named himself Donghua."

"What do you mean?"

"Emperor Donghua is the one who truly burst out of stone. That's why Zheyan said in the Ten-mile Peach Forest that your efforts to repay the favor would be in vain."

"No matter what, I have to repay you. You always taught me that there is a cycle of cause and effect in the world. If there is a cause, there must be an effect. If there is a debt, there must be a repayment."

Bai Fengjiu saw Bai Qian's confused look and immediately reacted:
"I almost forgot, Auntie, you lost your memory and can't remember anything."

"Okay, then you can be your little maid first." Bai Qian thought for a moment and said:

"In the Nine Heavens Palace, you don't have to call me aunt anymore. Just call me Bai Su."

"Yes, aunt." Bai Fengjiu replied, and immediately called out again embarrassedly:
"Uh, it's Bai Su."

Three months later.

Starry night, Tude Hall.

Xi Mingzhang stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the bright stars that seemed to be very close.

He curled his lips slightly and said secretly:

"In the four seas and eight wastelands, the curse has been planted in the bodies of two or three out of ten gods. In order not to cause unrest, and also to wait for the hundreds of thousands of years of iron tree of Emperor Donghua to bloom, I have always let the curse fall into dormancy and never really activated it."

"According to my calculations, in about three hundred years, there will be a good opportunity to control the entire sky."

Xi Mingzhang glanced over and saw Bai Qian walking towards him with brisk steps. He couldn't help but think:
"In order to have a peaceful life in the future, we have to find a way to get rid of her."

“Huang Tian, ​​it seems that whether you are in Junji Mountain or Jiuchongtian Palace, you have the habit of stargazing late at night.”

"Seeing you and Bai Fengjiu, I have to say that it's no wonder that she has been staying in Taichen Palace and refused to leave. You really teach by example!"

Bai Qian sighed for some reason after hearing this:

"In the Ten-mile Peach Forest, they all said that I was the Queen of Qingqiu, but I just couldn't remember my past memories. Although I was extremely happy to have found my family, I always felt that the days spent in Junji Mountain were more comfortable and free."

"You, indeed, are a fox." Xi Mingzhang asked with a smile:

"I've thought of a way that may help you break the seal. Are you willing to try it?"

"Of course I believe in you, so of course I'm willing to try." Bai Qian responded immediately.

"Okay, it's late at night, get some rest, I'll take you there tomorrow."

Xi Mingzhang gave some instructions and walked away, leaving Bai Qian standing there, happy yet confused.
