The incident in Luoyang spread throughout the Sui Dynasty at an incredible speed. At this time, people also knew that the storyteller of Tianlongbabu was actually a real immortal.
The identity of Immortal Li Daoyi concealed those dead warriors of good and evil. People did not even mention the Jing Nian Zen Sect that had been reduced to ruins. There is nothing better than this, and the former holy land of martial arts was submerged in the dust of history. among.
Yangzhou, palace.
"Okay, okay, good talk, good kill." After listening to Song Que and Pei Ju's report on the battle in Luoyang, Yang Guang stood up with excitement.
"I didn't expect the Taoist Priest to have such magical powers. Blood Demon, just hearing the name gives me chills down my spine."
"Zhennan Gong, Pei Aiqing, today is a double blessing. I also received a reply from the emperor's uncle. He promised to go to the capital soon." Yang Guang said and asked the eunuch to hand over a letter.
Pei Ju quickly took it, and it turned out to be a reply from the patron king Yang Lin.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." At this time, Song Que said.
"Mr. Zhennan, please speak."
"In this battle of Luoyang, Goguryeo's great master Cai Lin came uninvited. Now he has lost his life after stealing the chicken but losing the rice. This man has a very high status in Goguryeo. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Optimus Prime. , Now that he is dead, Goguryeo has lost its biggest trump card. I thought that Tuyuhun should be spared first, and the imperial court should prioritize attacking Goguryeo." Song Que said with his hand.
"Attack Goguryeo first?" Yang Guang was stunned. After all, the imperial court had been preparing to attack Tuyuhun since the beginning of the year. It was no small matter to suddenly change the target of the war.
"Your Majesty, what Zhennan Gong said is what I think. The imperial court's preparations for the attack on Tuyuhun in the past few months can continue, but the start of the war has been delayed. Now we should gather the army as soon as possible, especially other nobles, and attack Goguryeo without delay. , once they recover from the Fu Cailin incident, it will be troublesome to fight." Pei Ju said quickly.
"Furthermore, it is just after the Dragon Boat Festival, which is very suitable for attacking Goguryeo. If we delay for a few months, we will have to wait until the beginning of next spring." Pei Ju continued.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, before I got up from Luoyang and came back, I sent a message to Lingnan Feige. We, Lingnan, have sent 50,000 elite troops. They are already on the road and will arrive in the capital in half a month at the latest."
"Okay, I will return to Beijing tomorrow. Pei Aiqing, immediately draft a decree to Duke Tang. I will launch an army to attack Goguryeo at the end of the month. Let him be prepared. We will discuss other matters after returning to Beijing." Yang Guang said.
"Yes." Pei Ju greeted.
At this time Yang Guang calmed down and asked again.
"How is Daozhang Li doing now?"
"The Taoist has returned to the lakeside courtyard. In addition, the Taoist also agreed to this matter and asked me to tell His Majesty that it will be cut off immediately." Song Que said.
"Well, it's time to break it off, yes, but I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow." Yang Guang sighed.
Lakeside courtyard.
Li Daoyi was sitting in the yard with Mengmeng in his arms, while Xiao Longnu and Dongfang Bubai were cooking in the kitchen.
"Eight million, Taoist brother."
Li Daoyi was opening the system panel and looking at it, when Mengmeng suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Li Daoyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the little girl in his arms with a ghostly expression. The little girl who was sleeping just now woke up without knowing it.
"What are you going to do? Brother Taoist priest? Am I dreaming?" Li Daoyi said in shock. Mengmeng suddenly called him Taoist brother, which made him feel a little awkward.
As he said that, he quickly closed the system panel, fearing that the little girl would miss the eight million points that she finally got.
"Humph..." Mengmeng wrinkled her cute little nose.
At this moment, the green cow outside the door suddenly barked.
"Hey, there's someone outside." Mengmeng tilted her little head and said.
Li Daoyi closed his eyes and sensed that, sure enough, outside the forest by the lake, a carriage was parked there, and a middle-aged man was standing outside the fog, looking around.
"It's him..." Li Daoyi opened his eyes.
"Who is that?" Mengmeng asked curiously.
"Stone Dragon."
"Mengmeng." Li Daoyi touched the little girl's head.
"Hehe, I know." The little guy understood what Li Daoyi meant.
"Let's go, Niu Er." Then he jumped out of Li Daoyi's arms and flew onto Niu Er's back outside the courtyard. One person and one Niu walked towards the outside of the forest.
"Why did this guy come to me suddenly?" Li Daoyi was a little confused.
In fact, this was not Shilong's first time here. This person had been here several times before, but after entering the mist, he was sent out by the formation. After several times, he never came again.
"Could it be? It's possible that the original work didn't mention the time when he got the treasure. He should have been enlightened for a long time before being discovered." Li Daoyi thought.
Shi Long stood anxiously outside the fog at this time. Ever since he heard about what happened in Luoyang, he wanted to see the immortal even more. The most important thing was that he got something by chance not long ago, and he really couldn't understand the words on it. , until now I have barely deciphered the first few words of this treasure.
"Secret of Immortality."
Just as he was thinking wildly, heavy footsteps came from the fog, and soon a huge creature appeared in front of him.
"Kekeke..."
The green cow smiled cutely on its back.
Shilong quickly came to his senses.
"Little sister, Shilong, I'm here to ask for an audience with the immortal." Shilong said quickly.
"Well, let's go!" Mengmeng nodded, then patted the cow and turned around, and the fog dispersed from both sides, revealing a road.
Shi Long took out a brocade box from the carriage, carefully held it in his arms, and hurriedly walked along the path.
After a while, the lake and small courtyard appeared in front of Shilong.
"It's truly a fairyland on earth." Shi Long couldn't help but praise as he looked at the beautiful scenery.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Daoyi sitting at the table drinking tea. Shi Long quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I'm here, Shilong, to pay my respects to the immortal."
"Brother Taoist priest, he is holding something delicious in his hand." At this time, Mengmeng came to Li Daoyi and whispered in his ear.
"Okay, go and see if your sister Long's chicken wings are ready." Li Daoyi said to the little girl.
"Wow chicken wings." Sure enough, Mengmeng's eyes lit up and she ran towards the kitchen.
"Please sit down." Li Daoyi pointed to the chair in front of him.
"Thank you, Immortal."
"What? Got the hot potato?" Li Daoyi said with a slight smile.
"The Taoist Master has a wonderful plan." Shi Long was not surprised and said with a wry smile.
Then he put the brocade box in his hand on the table.
"The Taoist Priest doesn't know. Although our Shilong Dojo is mainly open to teach martial arts and accept disciples, we occasionally do some business." Shilong felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
Li Dao nodded. Many small sects in the world are like this. They occasionally take on some shady business, such as smuggling goods strictly prohibited by the imperial court, collecting debts for others, lending usury, etc.
"Last month, just a few days after the Taoist Master finished teaching the Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon, the disciples from my Taoist temple went to Ezhou to collect debts from others. I have always been very fond of antiquities. When the disciples came back, they brought back things from the creditor's house. This thing.”
After Shi Long finished speaking, he opened the brocade box, and suddenly a faint brilliance emerged from the box, and a fragrance also hit his nostrils.
"Huh?" Li Daoyi smelled the smell, which was somewhat familiar.
"Immortal energy." Li Daoyi secretly said. Lu Dongbin also had this smell on him when he was summoned last time.
Shi Long carefully took out a stack of things from the brocade box. It looked like paper but not paper, and looked like silk but not silk. It was made of black gold threads.
It was slightly yellowed, and the brilliance on it gradually faded away after leaving the box.
"Taoist Master, please take a look." As he said that, Shi Long stood up and slowly unfolded the things.
I saw that the animal skin was densely covered with words, and at the back were seven diagrams of the human body's meridians. There were also many small words marked on them, but these words were all oracle bone inscriptions.
"I've learned a lot about writing, but I've only cracked the first few characters in the past month, and this thing is actually..." Shi Long sighed.
"Secret of Immortality." Li Daoyi blurted out.
"..." Shi Long was stunned and looked at Li Daoyi in shock.
"The Great Wulin West Great Book on the Secret of Longevity, in addition to that, there is also the Illustrated Book of the God of War, the Cihang Sword Manual, and the Heavenly Demon Strategy, right?" Li Daoyi looked at Shi Long.
"Ah...yes, it's the Secret of Immortality." Shi Long nodded hurriedly.
"The scan is over. Congratulations to the host for getting 50,000 points."
At this time, Li Daoyi also received the reward prompt from the system. As soon as the brocade box was opened, the system started the scanning and inclusion process.
"It is said that this was written by Guangchengzi, the teacher of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi in ancient times. It can allow people to break the void after practicing. Unfortunately, for many years, I have only heard of its name and disappeared. I didn't expect that you would accidentally obtain it." Li Daoyi sighed.
"You said before that this thing was obtained in Ezhou?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Exactly."
"Ezhou, Ezhou, Hubei, Tianmen Mountain, Jingyan Palace, that's it." Li Daoyi thought to himself.
"Taoist Priest, what is written on it?" Shi Long asked cautiously.
"Owner of the stone field, have you ever heard of the allusion of a man who is not guilty but carries a jade?" Li Daoyi asked, gently stroking the Secret of Immortality.
"Plop." Shi Long was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Taoist Priest, this thing was originally given to you, Shi Long doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes." Shi Long said sweating profusely.
"It doesn't have to be like this, that's not what I meant." Li Daoyi raised his hand, and Shi Long slowly stood up.
"The Secret of Immortality is the supreme martial arts classic, but have you ever thought that since it is so magical, why has it not been seen in the world for a long time, and now it has even become an antique among wealthy merchants?"
"This..., could it be because no one can understand it?" Shi Long said.
"This is one of them. The most important thing is that practicing the Secret of Immortality requires extremely high talent and luck. The gods have spirits and can be responsible for themselves. You are not his master and cannot practice at all. If you keep him, sooner or later you will You will die a violent death." Li Daoyi's eyes narrowed as he spoke, and Shi Long shivered in fear.
"What the Taoist Master said is that, alas, magical skills and secret methods naturally have countless stringent requirements, otherwise it would be a bad street." Shi Long nodded and said.
"I accept this. I'll give this to you. I see that you are already at the early stage of Grand Master. Taking this pill can help you advance to the late stage of Grand Master." Li Daoyi said and handed Shi Long two pills.
"Taoist Priest, this..." Shi Long's excited hands stretched out and carefully took the elixir.
"Don't worry, this is called the Grandmaster Pill. One pill can elevate a Grandmaster to a small level." Li Daoyi smiled. He spent a thousand points to redeem it in the system mall.
"Thank you, Immortal, for your mercy." Shi Long said excitedly.
