In the corner of the fairy court, the vast sea of clouds, there is a small pond of mountains and rivers, and there is a small pavilion by the pool.

Two immortals are playing against each other in the pavilion. Their demeanor is soothing, and they are quite meaningful, as if they are painting a landscape painting, which is pleasing to the eye.

After a long time, at the end of the game, the Immortal Emperor, who was dressed in regular clothes, threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and said to Li Changgeng with a smile: "Your chess skills have regressed a lot, and when I played against you last time, you didn't lose so quickly." ”

Li Changgeng said sincerely: "It's Your Majesty's chess skills that have improved, and it is natural for Chang Geng to be defeated." ”

The Immortal Emperor was noncommittal, he seemed to be in a very good mood today, he had always been kind and pleasant, and there was a lot less majesty in the face of the ministers in the Zixiao Treasure Palace. But only close ministers like Li Changgeng know that the Immortal Emperor has always been very easy-going in private, and when he is basically not angry, he is extremely majestic in the treasure hall, and it is only the need to coerce the courtiers.

Most of the immortals of the Daomen are scattered, even if the immortal emperor system is basically the same as the mortal court, the immortal officials rarely have the worry of sleeping at night, if it is not for the current war in the fairy realm, the court meetings of the Zixiao Treasure Hall are rarely held. If the Immortal Emperor is not more dignified, I am afraid that no one will come to the court.

The chessboard has been taken away by the attendants, and there is a fairy making tea next to it. The Immortal Emperor took a sip and felt something: "There are countless spiritual springs in the Immortal Domain, but for some reason, the brewed tea always feels a little less meaningful, or the tea in the mortal world is more worthy of tasting." ”

Li Changgeng heard the sound of the strings, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty is worried about the chaos in the world?"

The Immortal Emperor put down the tea bowl, and his smile was a little bitter and helpless: "Li Ye got the heavenly machine in the secret realm and was recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and now that he has the heavenly machine to protect the body, it is difficult for the immortals to kill him." For mortal people, it is difficult to figure out the meaning of immortals when it is unpredictable, but for immortals, it is really unpredictable when it is unpredictable. ”

Li Changgeng was silent.

Tens of millions of years ago, the Dao Gate entered the Immortal Court, which was naturally the meaning of the Heavenly Dao. As the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, the Immortal Court is in charge of all things in heaven and earth, which is also due to the will of heaven. But now, the heavenly machine that represents the will of the Heavenly Dao has been obtained by Li Ye and has not fallen into the hands of the Immortal Court, which is intriguing.

The Immortal Emperor sat cross-legged, his hands flat on his knees, his gaze crossed the pavilion and became distant at the end of the sea of clouds.

He said calmly and gently: "After all, we underestimated this Li Ye, I really didn't expect him to have the luck to overturn the world." Before, we thought of him as an ant, thinking that if we sent someone randomly, we could destroy him. If it weren't for Zhang Ji's mistake and the heavenly machine recognized the master, we don't know how long we would have been wrong. ”

Speaking of this, the Immortal Emperor fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Li Changgeng said at the right time: "Li Ye has the heavenly machine to protect his body, and it is impossible to send someone to assassinate him." For today's plan, the only way to do this is to support Zhu Wen to compete with him head-on for the world. The order of heaven and earth, in the final analysis, is still in the hands of the emperor. As long as Zhu Wen gets the world, even if Li Ye has a heavenly body protector, he can't roll up the wind and waves anymore with his cloth body. ”

The Immortal Emperor nodded slightly: "It's time to shift the focus from assassinating Li Ye to fighting for the world." I looked at the weather in the world and found that this time the world was in turmoil, different from the past, and the soldiers and Confucian families all had the appearance of success. If they really make them orthodox, will the world have to return to the situation at the time of Yingzheng? That is really going to be chaos. ”

Li Changgeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the Immortal Emperor would hold Li Ye and not let go. After all, Li Ye has caused a lot of losses to the Immortal Court, and if he wants to give up assassinating Li Ye, the Immortal Emperor's face will not be able to get by.

The Immortal Emperor was able to take the initiative to self-reflect, and Li Changgeng had to admire. However, he felt that this was normal, after all, it was the Immortal Emperor.

Li Changgeng said: "Now that the demon clan has taken advantage of the chaos, there is no shortage of monks beside Li Ye, and if Zhu Wen wants to win Li Ye, the Immortal Court will not be stingy with help." ”

The Immortal Emperor glanced at Li Changgeng: "What does Aiqing mean?"

Li Changgeng said bluntly: "Your Majesty should know better than your subordinates, now, it's time to make your debut." ”

The Immortal Emperor was silent for a moment, his eyes changing several times.

In the end, he nodded and said: "The Immortal Domain is in a big war, and because of this, the world cannot lose control, and it is indeed necessary to dispatch Dao soldiers at this time." ”

Li Changgeng got up and left his seat, bowed to the ground, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise." ”

There are immortal soldiers and immortal generals in the Immortal Court, or Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, who take the monks of the Immortal Realm as soldiers and hold magic weapons to form a battle array, which is the basis for the Immortal Court to conquer the Immortal Domain. On the other hand, the mortal Dao soldiers are the army of the Daomen Immortal Court that swept the world.

Dao soldiers are not all immortal realms.

In addition to the difference in the field of conquest, this is the only difference between immortal soldiers and dao soldiers.

......

There was a heavy rain in Taiyuan City, which lasted for three days.

Three days later, the temperature rose sharply, and it was four days in a row.

During these seven days, there was a white-robed swordsman who had been standing on the top of the tower at the north gate, and he had been blown by the wind, the sun, and the rain and remained unmoved.

After this matter spread in Taiyuan City, the swordsman still seemed to have become the most popular scenery in Taiyuan City, whether it was the common people or the monks, all rushed to the north gate and outside, looking up at the posture of the swordsman, and there were many discussions.

Taiyuan City is nearly 10,000 empty alleys, the liveliness of the north gate, for a while more than the most prosperous East Market in the past, not to mention the busy traffic, pedestrians rubbing shoulders, but also blocking the road.

All kinds of vendors came to hear the news, and in the square area near the north gate, they saw the seams and needles to start all kinds of business, especially the various food stalls were connected to each other and formed a long queue.

In the end, the government and the city garrison had to intervene to control the scene, and the road was restored to the open air.

It was day and night, the moon and stars were scarce, and the people had all returned. The silence of the north gate was restored, and the white-robed swordsman was still standing on the cornice, his clothes fluttering, like a visitor from outside the world.

"Do you have to pick such a place to enlighten the Dao? You have stood for seven days and nights, do you know what those little ladies in the city think of you? Various versions of love stories have been circulated, and they are all looking forward to when a fairy will appear on the cornices on the other side, so that they can fly with you!"

Li Ye jumped onto the roof with two wine jars, threw a jar to Nangong No. 1, and joked with a helpless smile.

Nangong No. 1, who stood like a sculpture for seven days and seven nights, didn't even move his fingers, stretched out his hand to catch the wine jar, and without saying a word, he raised his head for a while.

After drinking, Nangong No. 1 sat down cross-legged on the cornice, faced Li Ye and said solemnly: "I think I'm about to become an immortal." ”

Li Ye smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that this jar of wine is too strong, so you will get drunk after taking a sip." ”

Nangong said with a straight face: "I'm not kidding. ”

Nangong No. 1 rarely jokes, this guy's temperament has never changed, and he has always maintained a cold and arrogant style.

But since he came out of the secret realm of the Heavenly Dao, he seemed to have lost his heart, and he was silent all day long. This time, he ran to the north gate and stood on the tower for seven days and seven nights, and the whole person finally recovered some of his former style.

In the secret realm of the Heavenly Dao, the great monks went back and forth, and the first cultivation of Nangong was not good, not to mention the soy sauce throughout the whole process, and finally fell into the hands of the monks of the Buddha Domain and became a prisoner, which was a great blow to his self-esteem.

Li Ye took out a pack of well-cooked pig's trotters from his waist and threw it to Nangong No. 1, "If you want to achieve the immortal realm, you have the final say in the Daomen Immortal Court." For many years, the Dao Sect has been controlling the Dao system, you should know that with your situation, the Immortal Court is afraid that it will not accept you. ”

Nangong didn't speak for the first time, not in deep thought, but busy gnawing on pig's trotters.

On weekdays, Nangong No. 1 is also a personable character, although his eyes are too small, and his demeanor is stunning from a distance, and his close-up view will always disappoint Xiao Jiaoniang, but he has never slacked off his demeanor. It's as if in addition to the way of the sword, that is already his second way.

Li Ye has never seen such a situation of burying his head in gnawing on pig's trotters and eating lard like now.

After eating the pig's trotters in three times and five by two, Nangong lay on the cornice, covering his bulging belly and exhaling with satisfaction, "I will remember your pig's trotters, I am afraid I will not be able to eat them for a long time in the future." ”

Li Ye heard his voice: "It feels like something was said at the time of parting." ”

Nangong No. 1 seemed to have let go of the big stone in his heart, and the whole person was very relaxed, he said, "I plan to go to Hexi." ”

Li Ye was slightly stunned, not knowing why Nangong No. 1 suddenly had this plan. Li Xian has already gone to Hexi to defend the country for the Tang Dynasty, could it be that Nangong first planned to fight side by side with Li Xian?

Li Ye smiled: "It seems that I brought too few pig's trotters today...... When you get to Hexi, you may really not be able to eat pig's trotters, and the people in Hexi don't seem to raise pigs. ”

Nangong Yiyi shook his head again: "Although Hexi has been occupied by the Tibetans and Uighurs for many years, I heard that the people there are all dressed in the Central Plains, and their behavior is no different from that of the Central Plains, perhaps...... They also have pigs there. ”

Li Ye smiled, he really didn't want to continue to discuss the topic of pig raising, although he felt that there were not many pigs in the Central Plains now, and Hexi should be all sheep raising.

"Actually, it's a little bit close. Nangong put his first hands on the back of his head, bent his knees on the cornice, the hairband behind his head fluttered in the wind, looked at the stars in the sky for a long time, and suddenly said: "So I want to go to Hexi." I haven't been to Hexi yet, maybe the desert yellow sand and the border passes of a hundred battles can give me a different understanding and help me achieve the immortal realm. ”

Li Ye said strangely: "You are still separated from the immortal realm by the realm of a Yang God and a real person, so you are so sure?"

Nangong pouted for the first time: "If you can enter the Dao in one step, what is it if you cross the two thresholds?"

He paused, and his tone suddenly became solemn: "When I achieve the immortal realm, I will come back to help you level the world and reshape the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Ye smiled: "I'm afraid that the Earth Immortal Realm is not good, at least it has to be a Heavenly Immortal Realm." ”

Nangong snorted firstly: "What is the Heavenly Immortal Realm, haven't you noticed it yet, this time the world is in chaos unlike usual, the Heavenly Dao Qi is very scattered, if you can catch a wisp, don't say the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it is possible for me to become a Da Luo Golden Immortal when we meet again!"

Li Ye was dumbfounded, stretched out his hand to beckon to the city, and a wine jar flew up, and he pushed the wine jar in front of Nangong No. 1: "One step into the Dao, achieve the realm of immortals, and then enter the palm Dao, ranking in the Great Luo Golden Immortal." I hope that when you come back after these two steps, my bones have not turned to ashes. ”

Nangong Yi hugged the huge wine jar and sighed: "It really won't take long." Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my name. ”

Li Ye nodded like garlic: "Then I'll wait for you to come back and take me to kill the Quartet." ”

"It's a deal!"

"The bright moon is proof. ”
