Ye Hong didn't care. He cast his gaze at Yu'er who seemed a little bored. It was funny that he didn't realize what Shuiyue Tower was for a moment.
Yu'er didn't want to have dinner with someone like Chen Yangeng, and the place they were going to was a brothel, where it wouldn't be a peaceful place to eat, so she shook her head decisively.
Chen Yangeng had no choice but to give up.
On the way back, Yu'er casually asked what the two had talked about in secret. Ye Hong did not hide anything and told the truth about buying merit.
Hearing this, Yu'er sneered, as if she was not surprised at all, her gaze gradually became somewhat long-lasting, she thought, the years have passed, the world has changed countless times, the way of heaven is not on their side, even the disciples of the Tiandao Pavilion have become so weak and lazy, where is the demeanor of the former leader of the righteous path?
One leaf can tell the coming of autumn. Yu'er casually asked what Ye Hong, the true disciple of Qiuye Zong, thought about this.
Ye Hong thought about this question for a long time. Combining his own thoughts when he was in school and the history books he had studied, he finally answered: "If you want to formulate a system, whether before or after, you always need to consider many things. If you are only responsible for formulating a system but do not supervise and improve it, the final result is that there will be people who are willing to take advantage of loopholes to gain benefits."
He paused and continued, "If the left hand supervises the right hand, and the self supervises itself, there is no deterrent effect at all. Such self-supervision cannot truly prevent corruption. Once the internal fighting power is lost, most people will feel that there is no hope. In contrast, this indicates that this dynasty is about to end."
Dynasties in history basically follow such a cyclical pattern.
In this vast land of China, countless dynasties have risen and fallen, but the immortals have always called the dynasty "Daxia". No matter how many times it has been destroyed, it is still Daxia that is rebuilt on the ruins.
Unless one day people no longer need the immortal emperor, otherwise, everything is just another reincarnation.
Coincidentally, the magical power that Yu'er practiced was "Reincarnation", also known as the "Wheel of Life and Death", while the one Shen He chose was "Withering and Flourishing", also known as "Rise and Fall".
There are similarities between the two, both are the ultimate of flowers.
Let's get back to the point. After Ye Hong finished speaking, Yu'er looked at him with new eyes and felt that she had not misjudged him.
She said calmly: "That's right, it's because of this that the world will enter a period of great strife."
To put it simply, an era of great contention means that the existing order has collapsed and a new order needs to be established urgently.
Yu'er reminded him worriedly, "If you want to form a pill as soon as possible, you must practice hard after you return."
"Do I need you to tell me this, Senior?" Ye Hong responded with a hearty laugh, chanting "Smoke and mist spread across the forests and mountains, I will never return until my golden elixir is broken."
I not only want to compete, but also have the courage to be the first and strive to shine brightly.
Yu'er was a little surprised and gave him a smile of approval, then suddenly said, "Boy, why do you keep reciting poems lately?"
Ye Hong said seriously: "Senior, haven't you heard that saying? People who can recite poetry may not necessarily become immortals, but a successful immortal will definitely recite a set poem."
"Hmm, why is that?"
"Just imagine, after fighting against all the heroes and standing firm, he suddenly recited the line 'Ambition and hegemony are just jokes, but they are no match for a drunken moment in the world'. What a magnificent scene that would be!"
Yu'er found it a little funny. After all, he was still a child and liked to show off. Based on her understanding of him, the purpose of showing off was probably to sleep with pretty girls.
……
On the other side, there was a base of the Yanyue Sect.
Looking around, there were more than twenty Jindan and foundation-building female cultivators in different clothes kneeling down in a group. The rows of women's peach buttocks were quite spectacular.
After Xiao Zi left Ye Hong, she really flew up like a phoenix. In front of her fellow disciples, the innocent smile on her face disappeared, and her expression became cold and proud, like a queen who ruled the world, giving people a feeling that she could not be disobeyed.
According to the rules of the Yanyue Sect, disciples who have reached the Nascent Soul stage will be automatically promoted to elders of the sect, and any female cultivator under her command must respectfully address her as "Mom".
Chapter 102: Choosing a Stool
A charming laugh came from outside the door, the voice arrived before the person arrived. A woman in pink stepped in, bringing a fragrance with her steps, a faint smile on her face, and her red lips slightly parted.
"Sister, why are you organizing the talent show with such fanfare? What's the important matter?"
It's nothing more than wanting to find a more perfect bed slave to replace the phoenix slave.
Xiao Zi stared at him, raised her delicate hand, pointed at the door, and said with a sweet smile: "Go back to your Shuixiang Tower."
"Why, Junior Sister, can't you even care about Senior Sister?"
The owner of Shuixianglou raised his chin proudly: "I heard that you sold yourself cheaply and found a little man. Do you want to be his mother?..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zi made her move. She stood up straight, and with the large sleeves of her "Dragon and Phoenix Robe" covering her, a shadow was cast down like a net, falling from the top of her head and covering her entire body. Without saying a word, he stripped off her clothes.
"You are worthy enough to challenge me?"
Xiao Zi rolled up her sleeves, took back a dozen strands of red hair, threw her clothes on the ground, and said calmly: "If you do it again, I'll peel off your skin."
The owner of Shuixiang Tower looked incredulous at first, but soon came to her senses, bent down to pick up her dress, covered her body and left angrily.
Not long after she left, another woman in green and white skirt slowly walked into the hall. She had a white ribbon tied around her waist that fluttered in the wind, and a wisp of black hair hung in front of her chest. She was not wearing any makeup, but had a kind of lazy beauty. She was the owner of Yiran Tower.
The woman laughed and said, "Senior sister, how did you strip Shui Rou so clean? Her figure is so pitiful. It would be a pity if she didn't receive customers."
When has a woman as proud as the owner of Shuixianglou ever taken men seriously? Asking her to go to a brothel to entertain customers would probably be more painful than killing her.
Xiao Zi glanced at her, and the low pressure that kept people away from her body dissipated a little. Then she waved her hand. Didn't she mean to say that it was not her who provoked her first?
The owner of Yiran Tower didn't care. He glanced at the cauldrons kneeling on the ground, then looked at the only two golden elixirs in his tower. As for the foundation-building master, he was too stingy to even glance at him. He asked softly, "How was your selection? Is there anything you like?"
Xiao Zi said slowly: "You've only been kneeling for a short while, what can you see?" After that, he turned his head and looked at her, as if thinking about something.
The owner of Yiran Tower had known her for a long time and knew that she was plotting against him. He was neither anxious nor annoyed, but quickly begged for mercy with a smile, "No, no, Mother Zi, please spare me." He did not have the reserve or pride of a great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
Xiao Zi smiled sweetly: "What a pity."
……
In fact, the Yanyue Sect relied on these brothels to plan its strategy for Huazhou and its love-inducing techniques. There were a total of seven Nascent Souls and thirty-two Golden Cores assigned to various major immortal cities. In addition, there were more than 20,000 furnaces and servants, forming an intelligence network that could not be underestimated. They could even influence the overall situation by whispering in the men's ear, and the size of the influence was closely related to the man's status and power.
If the man has limited power, it will be like a breeze passing by, but if the man is in a high position, then the pillow talk will become strong and powerful, like flying sand and rocks, and extremely destructive.
There is a saying that goes, men conquer the world, women conquer men, and then conquer the world. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, this is the purpose of the Yanyue Sect. Anyone who can do this can be called a "beauty who brings disaster", and the Yanyue Sect happens to be home to all kinds of beautiful women.
There was once an emperor of Daxia who was particularly lustful. He built a Chuling Palace and selected countless beautiful women to enter the palace for his pleasure. He did not care about whether they were vegetarian or not, even had sex with them. Inevitably, a few evil women from the Hehuan Sect with ulterior motives sneaked in, which made the rest of his life full of stupidity.
After draining the pond to catch fish, they gave the emperor a strong drug, which eventually led to him becoming the only emperor in Chinese history to be murdered in his bed by a woman. This was despicable, so Chuguan later became a synonym for brothel.
If it weren't for the fact that there is currently a female emperor in power in this dynasty, the Yanyue Sect could even directly arrange the harem to achieve the results they want.
Originally, Xiao Zi was placed with high hopes by the sect. She was asked to stay in the southwest and be directly responsible for the "love Gu" matter. In the name of gathering **, she collected the secluded Miao girls in the mountains.
But in actual practice, she found that the information was false, or the legend had always been wrong. Not all Miao people knew how to use Gu. Only the Black Miao tribe was proficient in the use of Gu, a legacy from the ancient demon god - the one who rode a horned iron-eating beast and fought against the immortal riding a yellow dragon. As long as hundreds of poisons were put together and let them kill each other, the one that survived was the Gu.
The most important thing is that "Love Gu" is considered to be the best among all Gu. The best means it is extremely difficult to find and the output is not high.
This is not respect, it is obviously sending her to suffer, which is a disguised form of exile to the frontier.
Those old bitches in the sect are all good at talking and guarding the southwest. They probably don't want to live out the days of expanding territory, nor are they willing to go.
Xiao Zi had no feelings towards the sect and was simply considering the matter at hand. He felt that instead of staying in the southwest and wasting time, it would be better to just defect and liquidate the Yanyue Sect.
This has another benefit, which is that there is a chance to collect a complete set of Yin-Yang Hehuan Sect's inherited treasures from the Grand Elder.
You know, she is an equipment cultivator, and the way to advance is to collect upgrade materials for the corresponding magic weapon, so as to upgrade her own magic weapon.
And combining magic weapons is a very clever way of doing things. The Mirror of Wind and Moon, the Heart-Stirring Bell, the Male and Female Double-edged Swords, and of course the Dragon and Phoenix Robe on her body, are all magic weapons personally refined by the Dragon and Phoenix Supreme. They work in conjunction with each other, and any combination can produce an effect where one plus one is greater than two.
Also because she is an instrument cultivator, her soul cannot condense on its own with the nourishment of spiritual energy like that of an immortal cultivator. If she wants to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and reach the combat power of a combined spirit, she must obtain at least five magic weapons of the same level.
……
Xiao Zi suddenly raised her hand and pointed, selecting a cauldron in the Foundation Establishment Stage. "This is the one." She casually commented, "She kneels very steadily, and her hip shape is also good. I think he will like her."
The owner of Yiran Tower smiled and said, "I really want to see the genius that Mother Zi has placed a heavy bet on. How elegant he is."
Xiao Zi said very proudly: "Tsk, it's just a little dragon."
The woman in green turned around and ordered, "Xian'er, go with Mother Zi, and everyone else go back."
"Yes, Mom." Soon the beauties dispersed, leaving only one person.
Chapter 103: Cold Ice
After several months, Ye Hong moved back to the waterfall. The spiritual energy was still as rich and amazing, but his mood was no longer as relaxed as before.
He stared silently at the water surface where a thin layer of ice began to appear. His body spontaneously circulated Qi to resist the cold. He often sat there for a whole day, as if he had entered hibernation.
It was a little difficult to adapt in the first few days because the body has not yet adapted to the unfamiliar environment and temperature, and the movement will cause extra heat waste.
After a long time, you will gradually adapt to it and can do it by instinct alone without having to think about it anymore, because your subconscious mind has already undergone countless reinforcement and repeated training.
This is his usual way of training - practicing repeatedly until he no longer needs to think, and Zhou Tian Gong can help him remember the feeling at that time.
In terms of practicing martial arts, he and the headmaster have the same idea. He believes that true cultivators do not use their mind to practice, but are driven by instinct.
If you always use your mind to think about how to gather Qi and circulate Qi during your practice, your practice will become slower and you will be very tired.
This involves the wonderful use of the "primordial spirit".
After a person is born, the innate primordial spirit abdicates and the acquired conscious spirit begins to control the body. If one wants to follow the path of immortality and achieve immortality, one must cultivate the primordial spirit again and return to the innate state.
If he looked up at this moment, he would easily find Qingyi and Yu'er looking at him not far away, paying close attention to his movements.
It’s not that I stare at it all the time, but at least I come back to take a look every day.
Yu'er smiled and whispered to Qingyi: "When this child is quiet, he is like a little lamb. It would be great if he could always be so well-behaved."
Qingyi felt helpless. No matter how long a young dragon hibernated, it could never turn into a lamb.
Because of what happened between them before, she always felt a little cold and wary of him in her heart.
This is like reading books. The wise see wisdom, the benevolent see benevolence. Taoists are more likely to see lust. Many times, people think they see everything, but they don’t know that the information the brain understands is only what they want to pay attention to.
If Ye Hong knew what his beautiful master was thinking, he would probably be helpless as he doesn't know the truth. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this. How could I, Ye Hong, be so worthy of such high morals as to not even have touched your little hand? Is it worth your extreme vigilance and strict defense?
But unfortunately, at this moment he no longer had any extra thoughts to think about love between men and women. His whole mind was poured into himself, thinking silently, "Condensing the Dan", this was the most important thing now. As for the rest, except for my mother, none of them mattered, including women. Suddenly, a sentence Xiao Zi once said popped up in his mind, "Women are like clothes, and female cultivators are all cauldrons" - if you don't know, you would think she was a stud.
"This damn girl..." He cursed as if mumbling to himself, "She's quite arrogant, more like the male lead than I am."
Then he exhaled deeply and devoted himself to practice again, continuing to suffer.
……
The sun and the moon alternate ruthlessly, and time has come to the day of Great Cold.
Because of the splashing waterfalls, the abundant water spirit, the extreme cold, the steep cliffs frozen, snow falling from the sky, but the plum trees are blooming with pear blossoms.
The Yandang Mountain is covered in silver, like a paradise on earth.
The most amazing thing was that the Qiu River had actually begun to freeze. The winding condensation lines looked like snowflakes extending towards the center of the lake, reflecting the water as clearly as a mirror. This made him feel extremely surprised and excited.
Ye Hongku sat there, watching quietly. The once mighty waterfall was completely frozen after the flow stopped, forming tiers of icefalls. It looked like a sleeping ice dragon, or a giant tree carved from white jade. After sunrise, it sparkled with crystal clear light.
The jade dragon's scales are still dormant due to the cold, and the waves of the Milky Way are still frozen.
