"Master, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?"
The autumn night was slightly cool, and the lights were as bright as day. Yang Chan, the "Three Holy Mothers", went back to the Daming Palace.
As the master of the harem, Yang Chan tried his best to behave more in line with the rules of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, there was an extremely naughty little Chenxiang to take care of.
Regarding the affairs of the Wu family's wives, Yang Chan actually didn't pay much attention to it. She already had Luo Jia, Ao Ling and the eldest grandson Pingting in front of her, so she didn't mind Li Zhi taking another concubine.
But every time he saw the wife of the Wu family, Yang Chan had an inexplicable feeling, as if there was something extremely special about this woman.
Yang Chan finally found the reason for Taoist Yuan Tiangang's rhetoric today. Could it be that this woman really has the appearance of a "female empress"?
However, after all, Yang Chan is not an ordinary ordinary woman. Not to mention that this is still a fiction. Even if a female emperor really comes, how can she be compared with her "Three Holy Mothers"?
However, when she left "Lizheng Palace", she deliberately left Bai Suzhen behind.
The eldest disciple that Yang Chan and Li Zhi accepted together, it is said that he has basically been practicing with Yang Chan these years, and Li Zhi, who is the master, is a completely irresponsible hands-off shopkeeper.
"Oh, it's Suzhen, why didn't you follow your wife back to Daming Palace?"
When one has reached the level of Li Zhi, he naturally does not need to follow the routine of ordinary people. However, whenever it is quiet at night, either he is "communicating" with Yang Chan in the harem, or he is alone in a room, thinking about what to do next.
"Master's mother said that Master is staying here alone and there is no suitable person around him, so he asked his disciple to stay here as well."
Bai Suzhen walked over, holding a small food box in her hand. She didn't have much time, and she was able to pull out several plates of peeled fruits like magic.
Most of these precious fruits are produced in the "Lizheng Palace" and can be regarded as the result of Sun Simiao's hard work over the years.
Naturally, he picked the best ones that could be given to Li Zhi, especially the plate of flat peaches, which really looked like that, but the aura in it was much less.
"These are considered rare things. You can ask Bai Zhen to share them with the guards who are on duty tonight. It is just a waste to eat these for the master."
Li Zhi took a look and only picked a few purple grapes from a bunch. The remaining plates of precious fruits were still placed in their original places.
"Master, I don't know whether I should say something or not?..."
Seeing that Li Zhi only ate a few grapes and started to lower his head to read the books on the table, Bai Suzhen said bravely.
They have been master and disciple for several years, but they have never been alone together. Even though she has practiced for hundreds of years more than Li Zhi, Bai Suzhen still seems a little reserved in front of this little master.
"Is it about the wife of the Wu family? So, do you have something to say yourself, or did your master ask you to say it?"
Li Zhi finally put down the book in his hand. In fact, he didn't really want to read any books, but he felt inexplicably bored, so he borrowed a few books on divination from Yuan Tiangang.
Speaking of which, there is really a specialization in the arts. Even those who practice immortality and Taoism, if they have not learned these, it is useless to be better than the "Da Luo Jinxian".
For so many years before, Li Zhi had been relying on "foreseen events" to plan the path he would take. Unfortunately, today many things have "changed beyond recognition".
"Master, please calm down and don't do anything about Master Mu. It's just that this disciple has some doubts and doesn't want to express his displeasure in front of Master."
Li Zhi's tone was very calm. He didn't want Bai Suzhen to misunderstand what he meant, but he still misunderstood the other party.
"Su Zhen, you are my master's disciple and the only one currently. We have known each other for many years. There is no need to be submissive when speaking in front of my master. It will not be good for your practice."
Cultivation of immortals and Taoism is to compete with heaven for destiny and seize the fortune of heaven and earth. Even if there are teachers to protect you, even if you have rare treasures to protect you, you still have to rely on your own determination and fearlessness in the end.
Li Zhike
If he, the great disciple, turns into a submissive person, how will he be able to support his family in the future?
"Today at noon, the disciple overheard what Master Yuan said outside the hall. Regarding the appearance of that...that lady from the Wu family, if she was the 'empress', then..."
Even though Li Zhi had mentioned it in advance, Bai Suzhen still couldn't let go when it came to this matter, but it might be related to the master's foundation, so Bai Suzhen had to say it face to face.
"Haha, I understand what you mean. Even if Taoist Yuan has not mentioned this matter, I am still under control. Don't worry, Datang's country is safe."
Whether it was Yuan Tiangang or Bai Suzhen, they were still able to raise such a sensitive issue outright in person, and Li Zhi was still very moved.
You know, in this era, anything related to the throne, even fathers, sons and brothers, usually keep their mouths shut.
"Since you are here and have nothing to do, I would like to teach you how you are doing with the Heaven and Earth Sword Technique?——"
Thinking that the person in front of him was his disciple, it seemed that he had never taught him seriously after being accepted as his disciple. He always gave him the techniques directly or passed them on to Yang Chan for teaching.
"Then...disciple will show his disgrace, please teach me Master——"
In Li Zhi's study, he casually drew a barrier and enclosed the two of them.
The study room is not big, but the barrier drawn by Li Zhi seems to be boundless, enough for the two of them to use their magical powers inside.
Bai Suzhen reached out and made a move, and the "Cangming Sword" appeared in her hand. This was originally a gift from Li Zhi back then, but now Bai Suzhen can use it with ease, and she has the potential to outperform others.
Li Zhi naturally used his "Xuanyuan Sword" in his hand. However, as his master, he naturally could not rely on the power of the "Xuanyuan Sword" to bully the opponent's "Cangming Sword".
"Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" is the skill of Emperor Xuanyuan Huang. Compared with the effort spent on this set of sword techniques, Li Zhi is far behind his disciple Bai Suzhen.
After all, she stayed in the "Shanhe Sheji Tu" for more than two years, which is equivalent to more than two hundred years of practice. In addition to constantly improving her own cultivation, Bai Suzhen practiced the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" the most.
One used all his strength and the other fought back. Li Zhi also wanted to determine how far his disciple had cultivated and try his best to suppress his combat power to the same level as Bai Suzhen.
In this way, the two fought for more than two hundred rounds as soon as they stretched out their hands, and still maintained an invincible streak.
"Haha, let's get rid of it——"
After barely fighting for 300 rounds, Li Zhi saw that Bai Suzhen's breath was a little unsteady, and then he saw a flaw in the opponent and lightly knocked the "Cangming Sword" with the blade of the "Xuanyuan Sword".
Bai Suzhen felt a huge force coming from the "Cangming Sword", which shocked her so hard that she couldn't let go of the "Cangming Sword". She forcefully raised her strength three times, and even did a mid-air flip before she regained her balance. .
"Disciple is useless and has let Master down."
During the whole fight, Bai Suzhen was doing her best. She not only wanted to verify her true fighting power, but also wanted to show off in front of her master.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she exerted herself, a set of "Heaven and Earth Sword Techniques" had already reached the transformation state, and she still could not shake the master in the slightest.
Bai Suzhen knew even more clearly that her master did not try his best. He only used the "Xuanyuan Sword" to resist, and did not use the "Purple Golden Beam to Strive the Sea" at all, let alone the unparalleled "God-killing Spear". .
"Disciple, please don't underestimate yourself. Just looking at the sword art, your understanding of the Heaven and Earth Sword Art is no longer as good as that of a teacher. What you lack is nothing but cultivation and strength."
"In the realm of cultivation, you can't take chances. You can only practice diligently day after day. Only when you realize Daluo in the future can you practice this set of 'Heaven and Earth Sword Techniques' to perfection."
"As for strength, you should work more on your physical skills from now on. It's a pity that
Master's Xuanyuan Jue is not suitable for you. However, there is another set of techniques that may be your chance. "
After three hundred rounds of fighting with Bai Suzhen, Li Zhi was overall very satisfied and felt that he had "robbed" the master-disciple relationship in vain, so he casually removed the barrier in the room.
"Really, Master? What kind of technique is that?——"
Bai Suzhen was happy from the bottom of her heart when she heard her master's affirmation of her, and she was even more overjoyed when she heard her master said that there were exercises suitable for her.
You must know that she is now in the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian". If she wants to reach the "Daluo Jinxian" in the grand realm, apart from practicing "Physical Art", Bai Suzhen really doesn't have any suitable skills for the time being.
Yang Chan gave her some. After all, the "Wa Palace" was a family with a big business.
It's a pity that after Bai Suzhen read it once, she found that it was a good technique, but she always felt that something was missing.
"Master, I'm not sure yet. I'll have my own thoughts when I meet Senior Brother Ao Lie tomorrow."
Suddenly hearing her master mention Xiao Bailong's name, Bai Suzhen was stunned and her pretty face turned red.
Fortunately, it was at night, and the candle lights in the study were also a little red, so Li Zhi didn't notice any clues.
...
The next day, "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan came from the "Daming Palace" early in the morning, holding the somewhat reluctant little Agarwood in her hand.
This kid is over three years old and is about the same height as a normal six or seven year old child. Li Zhi taught him so many magical powers at once, and he became the best at practicing the "Art of Rainbow Transformation".
Have you been thinking about running away all day?
"The child has sent greetings to his father. The father must be busy with political affairs, so the child will not disturb his father and will go to play with Grandpa Huang and Grandma Huang——"
Seeing Li Zhi, Yang Chan let go of Xiao Chenxiang's hand and watched her son respectfully greet Li Zhi as she had told him in advance.
Before she could praise her, who would have thought that the boy disappeared in a flash, and his voice before leaving was still lingering in the hall.
"Hahaha, this bastard——"
Li Zhi was also caught off guard by Xiao Chenxiang's move. Looking at Yang Chan who was also shocked, as well as Ao Ling and Changsun Pingting who had just stepped into the palace gate, Li Zhi could only smile awkwardly "Haha".
"You're still laughing. As a father, you didn't even bother to discipline your son properly, but you taught him the art of transforming the rainbow. I'm really pissed off."
Seeing Li Zhi like this, Yang Chan pretended to be angry.
You can't blame Yang Chan for being like this. That little Chenxiang is only over three years old, so Yang Chan can't handle him.
Or, that kid just hid in the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map". Yang Chan, the temporary owner, couldn't match the familiarity of little Chenxiang with the "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map".
Or, if that kid uses the "Rainbow Technique", Yang Chan, who is as powerful as the peak "Taiyi Golden Immortal", will have to spend a lot of effort to catch him back.
"Okay, boy, let's just be skinny. Do we need to put a 'tightening curse' on him? I originally planned to go to the Daming Palace, but you guys came together?"
Seeing Ao Ling and Changsun Pingting coming over, Li Zhi hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh, look at what your majesty said, how can we sisters dare to work for your majesty's golden body? No, I called sister Chan and sister Pingting very early in the morning and rushed over to your majesty. Say hello——"
Yang Chan was always solemn, and her eldest grandson Pingting was a virtuous and virtuous person. She bowed slightly to Li Zhi and then stood aside with a smile without saying a word.
It just happened to be Ao Ling, the seventh princess of the East China Sea. This little fire dragon didn't know which of its tendons was wrong. It was acting strangely early in the morning, and it was still saying words that Li Zhi would "accidentally" slip out of his mouth every day.
"Ahem, that sister Ling, what you said sounds a bit...but what did I do wrong?"
Hear Ao Ling
Having said that, he looked at Yang Chan and Changsun Pingting who were smiling and saying nothing, and intuitively told Li Zhi that there must be a big problem here.
"Sister Ling? Your Majesty, do you still recognize me? I thought there was a martial lady in the palace, and Your Majesty didn't even remember us."
Well, the strong smell of vinegar and sourness made Li Zhi feel a little disappointed when he heard it. Fortunately, there were only four of them present in the entire hall.
"Haha, Chan'er, Pingting, do you two think so too? To be honest, that Lady Wu was originally destined to be husband and wife to me. However, times have changed, and now the three realms are in turmoil, and the secrets of heaven are unpredictable."
"I already have a few of you, and most of them are just practicing the 'Xuanyuan Fangzhongshu'. Do you think I am that kind of lecherous person?"
In front of his wife, Li Zhi would naturally not pretend to be pretentious. They were different from ordinary couples, let alone ordinary emperors and concubines. They were going to spend thousands or thousands of years together.
"Kuroro, speaking of the warrior lady's injury, if you don't want to reincarnate and recuperate, but also want to restore your cultivation, there seems to be a method you can try."
Li Zhi was so "open and honest". As the master of the harem, Yang Chan couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Her eyes lit up after hearing Li Zhi's unconscious words.
"I haven't visited that lady from the Wu family yet, but since the Lotus Lantern has no way to save her, and Taoist Sun is also at his wits' end, could it be that Chan'er thought of a solution after just one night?"
In order to completely restore Wu Niangzi's cultivation, Li Zhi is not completely helpless. He just needs to use the "Twelfth Grade Purifying White Lotus".
However, with the previous Sun Wukong and Nezha, plus the "God-killing Spear" and "Sea-jia Purple Golden Beam" that are still being warmed up, the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" is too overdrawn.
Judging from the daily production of spiritual water in the Consciousness Sea, the output in the past five years is not as good as the previous few months.
The "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" has recognized Li Zhi as its master. Over the years, it has basically responded to requests. Even if it has been overdrawn too much, it has still been a silent devotee.
Li Zhi naturally had an account in his mind. If it wasn't a fatal thing every time, he really didn't want to bother with the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" easily.
If the situation of the Wu family's wife is true, it is very similar to that of Sun Wukong and Nezha. The three souls and seven souls are intact, and they have to reshape their bodies and cultivation.
However, Sun Wukong still had the origin of the "Lingming Stone Monkey" back then, and Nezha activated the origin of the "Spiritual Pearl" in time. So what does this Lady Wu have?
Li Zhidu suspected that if he really wanted to achieve his goal, the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" might have to pay more, and his vitality would be greatly damaged after a good effort.
Nowadays, the Three Realms are in turmoil. Although the demon clan has been uprooted from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it has only scratched its surface at most.
Li Zhi was not sure of the specific plan of the demon clan, but he also knew that if he really wanted to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty, all the Tang Dynasties would be in vain.
Therefore, it now seems that the "God-killing Spear" and the "Twelfth-grade Purifying White Lotus" are Li Zhi's biggest and final reliance.
The "God-Killing Spear" is still not at its peak state, and it still relies on the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" to maintain it. Is it possible that at this critical juncture, the strength of the "Twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus" must be further weakened? ?
"Sister, do you want His Majesty to use the 'Xuanyuan Fangzhong Technique'?"
Li Zhi was thinking a lot on the side, and the smart eldest grandson Pingting rolled her eyes and asked something that she couldn't even believe.
Looking at Yang Chan again, she actually smiled and nodded.
The hall fell into silence again, and the three women did not speak anymore, because they knew that this method must be feasible.
The person who feels the most profound here is Changsun Pingting. After all, her cultivation level is the lowest.
When she was just adopted as a concubine by Li Zhi, what level of cultivation was she at?
In just a few short years, Changsun Pingting has reached the late stage of "Golden Immortal". In addition to her own hard work, it is also due to the "Xuanyuan Room"
"Chinese magic".
You must know that Changsun Pingting's talent in cultivation is only above average at best, far less than Ao Ling and Yang Chan.
Both Li Zhi and Yang Chan had seen that lady from the Wu family with their own eyes. Yang Chan believed that she was no better than the other party, and at most she was just between the brothers.
"This matter... Let's discuss this later..."
With his three wives looking at him like this and discussing such things, Li Zhi felt a chill on his back. Was his "pseudo ancestral witch" body about to break through?
...
"Master, the wife of the Wu family has awakened. Master Sun, please come over -"
Li Zhi was chatting with his three wives, and Bai Suzhen came in to report.
This girl didn't sleep all night last night. After sparring with her master, she went back and started practicing the "Physical Technique".
In the past few years, she had indeed neglected this technique. In other words, compared with those techniques that had quick results, it was possible for anyone to ignore this technique that required time and effort, right?
"Let's go, let's go over there and take a look."
In front of his apprentice, Li Zhi had no choice but to put on airs again. Even Ao Ling, the most "sharp" person, didn't say anything, but just glared at Li Zhi without leaving any trace.
The group left the courtyard where Li Zhi lived and came to the place where the Wu family's wife lived temporarily.
"Lizheng Palace" was already so big. If Li Mingda, Changsun Pingting, Qin Shubao and others had not moved out, they might not have been able to free up a courtyard for Lady Wu.
The place where Mrs. Wu lives now is exactly where Li Mingda lived. This was naturally the arrangement of the "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan.
"Little girl Wu Yue, thank you to the Three Holy Mothers for saving your life——"
Seeing Li Zhi and his entourage come in, Mrs. Wu, who was half lying on the bed, bowed slightly and saluted Yang Chan who was taking the lead.
Sun Simiao sat down at the side, thinking that Sun Simiao had already introduced the treatment to Mrs. Wu yesterday.
"Sister Wu, don't be too polite. You were seriously injured for the millions of lives of the Tang Dynasty and for the great cause of conquering demons of the Tang Dynasty. You are my hero of the Tang Dynasty, how can I accept this courtesy from you?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Li Zhi always felt that the conversation between these two people was a bit strange?
Madam Wu did not call her "Queen," but called Yang Chan "Three Holy Mothers," but Yang Chan paused heavily at the word "my palace."
You know, since Yang Chan was named queen, she would only call herself "this palace" on very few important occasions. At other times, she would not have the slightest air of a queen at all.
How could he face a man who was seriously injured and bedridden, and who was also a "hero of the Tang Dynasty" in Yang Chan's own words, but he had to call himself "this palace" so solemnly?
Two women, one gentle and elegant, the other sharp-edged, had just had a small confrontation, but they had barely managed a draw.
"'The Three Holy Mothers are famous throughout the three realms, and are now the most respected among the female immortals in the three realms. And after the Tang Dynasty, what does this little girl's small contribution mean?"
When the wife of the Wu family said this, her voice deepened and her eyes seemed a little dim. From Sun Simiao's mouth, she already knew her current situation.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, it's just as we expected yesterday, the Wu family's wife's injuries... Oh, I'm so incompetent——"
Sun Simiao was a rare honest person. Even in front of the injured, he did not hide anything.
"Daozhang Sun, you don't have to be like this. Life and death are fateful, not to mention that the little girl's life is still saved? This life is nothing more than being unable to recover, so let's look forward to the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng in the next life..."
There was a brief silence in the dormitory.
"Sister Pingting, please accompany Daochang Sun to his garden and pick some fresh fruits to send to Sister Wu."
"Sister Ling, could you please go to the father and mother's place and take a look at that skinny monkey Chenxiang? Don't let him go crazy there again."
Yang Chan looked at the scene in the room and said, clearly intending to send everyone out.
...
"'If you have anything to say, Third Holy Mother, please say it directly. Although Wu Yue is not talented, he can still withstand some blows."
When there were only three people left in the dormitory, Li Zhi, Yang Chan and Lady Wu, Lady Wu was inexplicably nervous and tried her best to sit up straight.
"Sister Wu, although your life is not in danger, you have lost all your cultivation. I wonder if my sister can restore it?"
Without anyone else around, Yang Chan sat directly beside Mrs. Wu's bed and stretched out her hand to straighten the cushions behind her.
"This...to be honest, this little girl learned from Xitian Lingshan since she was a child. Unfortunately, Lingshan is now in the hands of the demons, and the whereabouts of my master are also unknown."
"If Master is here, there may be a chance. But I can't find Master, but the little girl is helpless."
The fall of Lingshan was known to all three realms, and it was not a secret to the three people in the dormitory.
With the cruel methods of the demons, even the Tathagata Buddha has disappeared. Will other Buddhas and Bodhisattvas trapped in Lingshan have a good ending?
To put it bluntly, it was unclear whether her master was present or not, so how could she put her hope in that illusory hope?
"Sister from the Wu family, if... I mean, if my sister can restore your cultivation and even become stronger, I wonder if my sister is willing to give up her life and give it a try?"
"What? 'Third Holy Mother, do you really have any idea? -"
...
"You white bear are so rude, you dare to block my way. Are you looking for death?"
A sharp shout came from outside the gate of "Lizheng Palace". It was a completely unfamiliar voice, and its powerful aura made Li Zhi frown.
"Humph, where did the fierce monk come from? Is this a place where you can wander around at will? Grandpa Bai just can't let you go -"
Immediately afterwards, the voice of the guard commander Bai Zhi came over, but it seemed that he was being suppressed, and he was a little short of breath when he spoke.
"Haha, are you worthy of using my Buddhism's Demon-Subduing Pestle? Give me a break -"
"Danglanglang——"
There was a loud sound of metal hitting, making the entire palace tremble.
"Where is Tang Emperor Li Zhi? I am here, why don't you come out quickly to greet-"
..
