Chapter 321 Recognition of relatives
Chapter 321 Recognition of relatives
Chaotian Temple, Sanqing Hall.
When Xu Qing entered the temple, he did not see the abbot, but a handsome young Taoist priest.
"Tianshi?" Xu Qing recognized the other person at the first sight.
Although he knew that the old friend he was going to meet was the old Taoist priest, he did not expect that the other party actually looked like a young boy.
Because it has only been a few years since the old master's corpse was reincarnated.
However, Xu Qing changed his mind and realized that the other party was a ghost fairy, and the mystery in the womb had been solved. With the help of secret techniques and elixirs, it was not difficult to understand why his growth and development were accelerated.
Moreover, this controlled growth and development can actively strengthen certain talents and make up for some innate shortcomings in the mother and the womb.
It’s just that, it doesn’t quite conform to the wonderful principle of Taoism.
"I can't wait any longer, so I did this."
"Well, what does the Heavenly Master want to talk to me about?" Xu Qing knew that the other party was anxious to practice the Golden Elixir Method. The first step of the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Method is to build the foundation of the physical body.
It is indeed torture to make the elderly wait for more than ten years.
Therefore, it is reasonable to use some tricks.
"Ahem, there's something I need Gongming to help me get." The old Taoist priest gave an awkward smile.
He then explained the whole story.
It turned out that after the old Heavenly Master was reincarnated, Yu Xuan found the reincarnated body and invited him back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain. As soon as his body developed to the teenage stage, he began to build his foundation.
What he wanted to get was an elixir.
To be precise, it is an elixir refined using the old Heavenly Master’s physical body in his previous life.
The old master is really ruthless, even using his own body to make elixirs.
Because of this, this pill is even more powerful than the Xuantian Shenglong Pill. Since it was refined by the old Heavenly Master’s physical body in his previous life, there is naturally no problem with digestion.
It’s just that the elixir is in the alchemy well on Longhu Mountain.
The seal of that place can only be opened by an extremely powerful person.
In today's world, the only person who can open this seal without being greedy is Xu Qing, and the old Taoist priest doesn't trust anyone else.
Xu Qing smiled and said, "You really trust me, aren't you afraid that I might be tempted?"
“If even you, Xu Gongming, are not trustworthy, then no master in this world is trustworthy.” The old Taoist said leisurely.
The reason why he trusted Xu Qing, apart from his past experiences, was also because Xu Qing had not usurped the throne.
Although Xu Qing's actual power was no different from that of the emperor, he actually held back and did not usurp the throne, which shows how strong this man's character is.
A person's character is reflected in every single thing he does.
There is no doubt that Xu Qing's political credibility is extremely high in the world today.
Even Xu Qing's enemies had to admit that as long as Xu Gongming promised to do something, even if it was impossible to do it, he would give you greater benefits.
What's more, now that the Black Mountain Old Demon is gone, Xu Gongming can be said to be the best master in the world, and it is even more impossible for him to destroy his own image for a pill.
Moreover, the old Taoist priest also wanted to use this incident to bring Longhu Mountain and Xu Qing closer.
Sometimes, deepening the friendship between two parties does not mean giving gifts blindly or asking others to owe you favors. Instead, asking the other party to do you a small favor can more easily bring the two parties closer together.
If someone helps you once, they will most likely help you a second time...
In this process, you will repay favors and the communication between the two sides will increase.
This is also what the old Taoist priest thinks about for the thousand-year heritage of Mount Longhu.
...
...
Xu Qing went to Longhu Mountain and easily solved the problem of the old Taoist priest, but after returning to the capital, he encountered another small trouble.
"Zhang Kun, besides Zhao Bao, does anyone else know about this?"
"Reporting to the Grand Protector, because this matter is of great importance, after I got the news, I immediately captured the people myself and did not let anyone contact them during the whole process. As for whether he has told others before, I have not found out yet." Zhang Kun now began to take charge of the affairs of the inner factory.
He has a close relationship with Xu Qing, so Xu Qing trusts him.
Zhao Bao is Zhao Bao, Xu Qing's rival when he started out. But when King Lin guaranteed his life, Xu Qing spared his life.
Given Xu Qing's current status, he wouldn't be so petty as to want someone to kill him.
However, Zhao Bao's sudden appearance was not for revenge.
He has become a eunuch, and his Zhao family has been exterminated. His only pursuit in life is power.
The reason he came out this time was because he had clues about Xu Qing's life experience.
Xu Qing came to the Tianlao.
After dismissing his attendants, only Zhang Kun was left by his side, and in front of him was Zhao Bao, the prisoner.
"Zhao Bao, we are from the same hometown. I spared you for the sake of King Lin. I also told you that if you dare to have revenge again, I will make sure you die without a burial place. You didn't come to me for so many years, and I turned a blind eye to you. You are using my life experience to make a fuss this time. Are you tired of living?"
"Xu Gongming, with your caution, if I had done anything that was detrimental to you, you would have killed me long ago. I am alive today, so I understand this. So you should also know that I have no ill intentions in this matter."
"It's easy for me to check my background. It's not your turn." Xu Qing shook his head.
Zhao Bao sighed and said, "I just want to take this opportunity to ask you for credit. Otherwise, I will have to sweep the floor in the cold palace for the rest of my life, and I won't be willing to accept that."
He was originally exiled to Prince Yu's mansion, but Prince Yu died of illness, so he was inexplicably exiled to the cold palace.
Zhao Bao was naturally unwilling to accept this.
So he took out this trump card in an attempt to get Xu Qing's attention.
This trump card concerns Xu Qing's true life experience.
Because Xu Qing’s grandfather is most likely Emperor Wuzong.
That is, the emperor's brother.
He even found Xu Qing's grandmother's family.
Xu Qing shook his head, "Making trouble out of nothing."
Afterwards, Zhao Bao fainted.
Xu Qing used the magic soul-searching method to figure out the matter, and then said to Zhang Kun: "After he wakes up, he will lose his past memories. This man is also my fellow villager. Although there are some grievances, they have paid a big enough price. Since he doesn't want to live in the cold palace, let him guard the imperial mausoleum."
"only."
Xu Qing walked out of the prison slowly.
His life experience has been clarified by Zhao Bao.
Emperor Wuzong once had an affair with a commoner woman, who gave birth to his father. The woman was sent to the Xu family in Jiangning to be raised by one of Emperor Wuzong's confidants.
What really surprised Xu Qing was that the mysterious force that destroyed the Xu family in Jiangning actually came from Changbai Mountain.
However, Xu Qing still failed to find the mysterious blind man that his uncle mentioned from Zhao Bao's memory.
In fact, the reason why Xu Qing had not investigated this matter before was because he had some guesses. He thought that the mastermind behind sending people to destroy the Xu family in Jiangning might be the old emperor.
If that was the case, he would find it difficult to face it.
Because Xu Qing is not the original "Xu Qing", and his demonic body is completely different from his original body.
If it can really be considered a blood revenge, it's a stretch.
And the old emperor treated him very well indeed.
At the critical moment of the final battle with the Black Mountain Demon, the old emperor still did not turn against Xu Qing, and even entrusted the world to Xu Qing.
Therefore, Xu Qing has been somewhat evasive about this matter.
But now that he got the result, he felt relieved.
But why did the Black Mountain Old Demon want to wipe out the entire Xu family?
The only thing Xu Qing could think of was that it was because of the bronze mirror, or maybe it also included Xu Qing.
The Black Mountain Demon was likely to have figured out the secret, so he wanted to solve Xu Qing's problem in advance and retrieve the bronze mirror. However, the Black Mountain Demon probably didn't expect that Xu Qing would actually appear many years later.
As for the bronze mirror, it was most likely a token of love given by Emperor Wuzong to Xu Qing's grandmother.
Because the Black Mountain Old Demon was knocked down by the Creator and the bronze mirror was lost, it might have been collected by the royal family.
After analysis, Xu Qing obtained a complete clue.
Zhao Bao was able to get this information because Prince Yu had previously asked the Blood Droplet to investigate Xu Qing's background. Zhao Bao was the one who was in charge of investigating the matter.
After he found out, he did not report it immediately.
Xu Qing's grandmother's surname was Li, and the family originally lived in Nanzhili.
Coincidentally, the minor official Li Xiuwen that Xu Qing valued was the descendant of her grandmother's brothers.
Xu Qing had no intention of accepting this marriage, nor did he intend to disclose his background.
It would be easy for him to conquer the world, and he didn't need to label himself as a member of the royal family.
However, the necessary care still needs to be provided.
After thinking it over, Xu Qing called his uncle Li Gongyu.
"Qing Ge'er, do you want me to recognize Li Xiuwen as a relative?"
"Anyway, we all have the surname Li. Hundreds of years ago, we might have been a family." Xu Qing smiled.
Li Gongyi: "Qing'er, can you tell me the reason? I'm mainly worried that your aunt will misunderstand."
Old Li couldn't help but cough.
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "I found out something. Li Xiuwen is the grandson of my grandmother's brother."
"How is that possible?" Li Gongyu shook his head.
He knew the Xu family's affairs best.
Xu Qing's grandmother's surname wasn't Li at all.
Xu Qing: "Uncle, I didn't lie to you. Don't tell anyone else about this, and don't tell Li Xuwen. The recognition of relatives is nothing more than finding an excuse. I still have a lot of use for this person in the future."
"Well, you can't even tell your aunt?"
"I'll go talk to my aunt."
"Okay." Li Gongyu agreed, and then he remembered something, "Shitou is not young anymore, I want him to be a master, what do you think?"
Shitou is the son of his uncle and aunt, and now he has reached the age to learn to read and write.
Speaking of which, this cousin is a little older than Xuanhu.
Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of his poor son.
Originally, he planned to let Xuan Hu spend more time with Li Shitou in the future.
"I have always remembered this matter. Even if my uncle doesn't mention it, I will mention it next year. Let Shitou worship Master Fayue as his teacher, so that he can practice Master Yankong's Vajra power in the future. This is the world's leading method of body refining and foundation building." Xu Qing replied.
"Well, also, it's time to give the stone a formal name."
"It's called Wufeng, the heavy sword has no edge, the Wufeng of great skill and simplicity."
"That name sounds good."
Xu Qing smiled and said, "When my second brother develops the power of a great diamond in the future, I will personally make a heavy sword for him."
He regards the Li family as his closest relatives, so even though Li Shitou is his cousin, Xu Qing still treats him like a real brother according to his seniority.
...
...
After dealing with the issue of his background, Xu Qing suddenly felt a sense of fulfillment and freedom.
In this life, he owes no one anything.
There is a sense of freedom that both the body and mind are liberated.
Xu Qing was strolling in the yard.
Suddenly, it started to rain all around.
But not a drop of rain fell on him.
He entered into the mysterious realm where the Black Mountain Demon had fought.
Xu Qing named it - The Ultimate Freedom.
This is a tribute to an anime he loved in his previous life.
In this state, Xu Qing felt as if he was unaffected by anything.
It seemed as if no attacking power could be used on him.
Of course, Xu Qing also didn’t know what the upper limit of this state was.
All in all, the normal magical powers of the Creator should not be able to hurt him.
Thinking of the Creator, Xu Qing deeply understood that he was still a long way from the original strength of the Black Mountain Demon.
Thinking of the oppressive feeling of the Black Mountain Demon, Xu Qing still feels a little chilly.
But there was one thing he didn’t expect. Why did the Black Mountain Old Demon forcibly activate the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man?
He always felt that there was something inexplicably strange about the Black Mountain Old Demon's activation of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man.
This is obviously a case of killing one thousand enemies but losing eight hundred of your own.
And finally, Lord Fang took action, and the Black Mountain Old Demon had to retreat because of the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man.
It's like stealing a chicken but losing the rice.
Therefore, it seems that the Black Mountain Demon was deliberately trying to complete the mission given to him by Heaven, but he actually had other intentions.
For example, taking away Xuanhu, the appointed fourth-generation Black Mountain Demon.
The problem is that Xuan Hu is no longer on Mars and has completely cut off contact with Xu Qing.
Where on earth did this child go?
In this world, the relationship between master and disciple is even better than that between biological father and son.
Xu Qing knew very well that since Xuan Hu was the fourth generation of the Black Mountain Old Demon, the old demon would not do anything to Xuan Hu, because the Black Mountain Old Demon's motto was that each generation would be stronger than the previous one.
People like them pursue the great way more than they cherish their own lives.
Xu Qing couldn't help but guess in his heart that Xuan Hu was most likely taken away by the Black Mountain Old Demon and went to the world connected to Mars, which is the place where Sakyamuni, Lu Zu, Chongyang Zhenren and others had been.
Unfortunately, Xu Qing’s current strength is not enough to cross the starry sky and reach Mars.
Moreover, the Black Mountain Old Demon also used some means to escape into the void and enter the Great Leiyin Temple on Mars.
If the soul were to travel across the starry sky, it would take a very long time.
...
...
Before I knew it, five years had passed.
Over the course of five years, the magic network was upgraded.
One is the external network, which is used by some middle and lower-level officials, and the other is the dark network, which can only be used by the bigwigs in the court.
This is also because Xu Qing listened to the advice of Lord Zhang.
Moreover, not every qualified big shot can get the sycamore leaves refined by Xu Qing.
Under the suggestion of Lord Zhang, this special high-level paulownia leaf requires a certain degree of contribution from a big man to obtain it. The right to interpret the contribution belongs to Xu Liushou. In addition, after obtaining it, to activate the special functions of the paulownia leaf, one must burn incense and bathe, and sincerely worship Xu Liushou's portrait day and night.
Of course, after unlocking the advanced paulownia leaves, you will be eligible to exchange them for the elixir of life.
This is the benefit that drives many high-ranking officials in the imperial court crazy.
On the other hand, Tiangong Academy also developed something called "Sound Transmission Notes" based on the magic network, which is also an important achievement in the immortal cultivation world of the Dayu Dynasty.
