The Empress Dowager was stunned for a while and said, "Is what you said true?"
Celestial Master Zhang said, "I'm not lying."
The Empress Dowager was in a daze for a long time, but she soon recovered from the shock, "Celestial Master, why do you think he stayed in the court?
Could it be some kind of conspiracy? "
She finally understood where Xu Xian's attitude came from, but anyone in power would only feel uneasy if they knew that there was a powerful figure beside them that they could not control.
Celestial Master Zhang said, "I don't dare to speculate, but from what Lord Xu did, he must be doing it to accumulate merits, or to play in the human world."
In fact, he was also skeptical about these two things. Even if it was to accumulate merits, he should not be stained with such a big cause and effect.
Although there were many immortals who played in the human world, most of them lingered in the market, not in the court.
Celestial Master Zhang left and returned to the mountain to cultivate.
The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
Even if he knew more political tricks, what could he do to an immortal?
Moreover, it seemed that Xu Xian did not have any evil intentions. On the contrary, he was really planning for the world, so he might as well let him be. However, it seemed that the Flame Worship Cult that he mentioned was not groundless. He had to pay more attention to it.
The Empress Dowager was thinking about the world affairs, but she did not notice that the little emperor beside her lowered his head, clenched his fists, and couldn't suppress the excitement in his eyes.
But when she looked at the Empress Dowager beside her, she looked a little distressed.
Xu Xian went straight to the house where Yu Xuanji lived, but there was only a white wall in front of him, which was naturally not difficult for him. He saw that the door was open, and even the threshold was covered with a layer of snow, as if it had been waiting silently for a long time.
Xu Xian took a breath, slowed down, and stepped into the door. When he entered the house, it suddenly became dark, as if he had stepped into another world.
It was bright outside, and the snow reflected the light, but it seemed that it could not penetrate the room. Only the seven-star lamp on the square table was slowly burning, leaving only five sparks.
Xu Xian called softly, "Xuanji!"
Sun 'er heard the call and walked out of the inner room, "Martial Uncle, you're here. Master just fell asleep."
Xu Xian said in surprise, "Fell asleep?" Didn't she know that I was coming?
"I'll go see her." Because of this, she simply sealed the door with illusion, but the real door was still open.
Sun 'er quickly stood in front of him and pleaded, "Teacher hasn't slept for days, please let her rest for a while!" But Yu Xuanji's voice could be heard from behind, "You're here."
In Xu Xian's eyes, she seemed to have walked out of the darkness. She was wearing a white unlined garment and a light yellow Taoist robe casually draped over her body. Her long hair was also unkempt. He noticed that there seemed to be more silver strands in it.
Master Yu Zhang said, and King, and Master Master Yu Xu Xian Dower, Yu Yu King, she, who Xuan Master, and said, "Yu, and, Dower Master. Yu Zhang, Master,
Master Yu Xu Xian Dower opened his mouth, but he chose to tell her what happened.
Yu Xuanji nodded, "Now that I've passed the Intermediate Heavenly Tribulation, I have the strength to fight."
Xu Xian Dower said, "But you …"
Yu Xuanji Dower gently interrupted, "Listen to me first, the next disaster is not as easy to deal with as the last one. Your old enemy is also making preparations. If you're not careful, you'll repeat the same mistake."
"Old enemy?" Xu Xian Dower thought of someone.
…
In Mount Zhongnan, on Ling Yun Peak, two people sat facing each other. The black and white pieces on the chessboard were fighting against each other. It was the most critical moment, but no one cared.
Han Zhongli's hair was tied into two buns, and his chest was exposed. He waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand and asked, "You've made up your mind to leave the mountain?"
Lu Dongbin stood up, "Fate has come to this, I won't go against it, I'll settle things with him eventually."
Although he still had a long beard and a long sword, his expression and demeanor were very different from before. He had lost some of his elegance and gained some of the majesty of an emperor.
Han Zhongli shook his head, "I'm afraid that person won't be easy to deal with. Don't be stained with karma for no reason."
Lu Dongbin said, "When has that person been easy to deal with?
Coincidentally, the two of us have reached the point where we need to remember the past. If we don't settle this, how can we take another step forward and achieve the path of celestial. Senior brother, don't try to persuade me anymore, Dongbin has made up his mind.
I've already sent Chunjing to serve the Hu army, and he's now a general. I'll ride the heavenly mandate to destroy Xia. If he wants to change his fate, he'll have to go through me first. "
Han Zhongli saw that he still called himself Lu Dongbin, and was not affected by the hatred of the past. He pushed the stone with the chessboard in front of him and said, "If that's the case, then take this chessboard!"
Lu Dongbin waved his sleeve and kept the stone. He bowed to Han Zhongli and floated down the mountain.
…
After listening to Yu Xuanji's deduction, Xu Xian couldn't help but frown, "If the Eight Immortals come at me together, how can I fight them alone?"
The Eight Immortals had been famous for a long time. They were called the Eight Immortals of the Upper Caves because there were the Eight Middle Caves and Eight Lower Caves.
They were the cream of the crop among the itinerant immortals, and each of them had powerful treasures. It would be difficult to deal with any one of them, let alone eight of them.
Yu Xuanji smiled calmly, "You don't have to worry too much about this. This is the relationship between you and Pure Yang Grandmaster, and no one can interfere. Pure Yang Grandmaster probably doesn't want others to be involved, so as long as you don't ask for help, the Seven Immortals will just watch."
Xu Xian heaved a sigh of relief. Although he couldn't get help from others, he didn't have to face eight strong opponents at the same time. He was more than willing to take on this matter alone.
"If it's just Lu Chunyang, I have some confidence."
Yu Xuanji said, "Don't be happy too early. According to my deduction, you will definitely lose this battle."
Xu Xian said, "What?"
He had passed the Middle Heavenly Tribulation and became a deity. He had also cultivated Jupiter to the culmination of the Unity Star. Now, he was full of confidence. Who would have thought that Yu Xuanji would say that he would definitely lose?
Yu Xuanji suddenly asked, "Do you know how to play chess?"
Xu Xian said proudly, "Will I lose?"
Yu Xuanji said helplessly, "You!"
Xu Xian said, "Hey, what does this have to do with chess?"
Yu Xuanji smiled mysteriously, "Of course it has a lot to do with it. But I knew I couldn't count on you. Come closer."
Xu Xian moved closer to listen to her whisper. Her warm breath tickled his ear, but what she said quickly made him restrain his thoughts. One moment he smiled, the next moment he was deep in thought.
When she finished, Xu Xian praised sincerely, "What a great plan."
