In Huang Ting's world, Xu Mochen watched Jiu Ying spit out flames and burn the surrounding ground.
After burning for a long time, the ground finally became loose. Jiuying stopped spitting fire and touched it with his head, causing the ground to crack.
Very good, it probably opened up an area as big as a fist.
The ground disappeared, and the glass divine water poured in, expanding the territory a little.
Xu Mochen felt nothing. If he continued at this rate, it would last until the end of the year.
"Is the power of the flame too weak?" Xu Mochen couldn't help but ask.
All nine heads of Jiuying gave him a look of contempt.
Needless to say, although the Fire of Naraku Dark Cage is one of the Eighteen Different Fires, it ranks low, and it is the flame of the underworld, and its main focus is Yin Fire.
Xu Mochen, on the other hand, follows the path of a king and is masculine and upright, which actually doesn't quite match him.
"So what you mean is that you want me to find another strange fire?" Xu Mochen asked again.
All nine heads nodded in unison.
"..." Xu Mochen was silent. This strange fire is hard to find. If it can be seen everywhere, can it still be called a strange fire?
"How about the glass divine water?" He might as well solve all the problems in one go.
Jiuying said that there was no problem with the glass divine water.
Glaze Divine Water is also one of the thirty-six different waters, and is also ranked behind.
But this sacred water comes from the Buddhist world. It was originally made from incense and faith merits, and was tempered by integrating the spiritual energy of immortality.
Xu Mochen has awakened in his second life and has mastered the good power of the Ten Sins. Combining it with his own system, extracting the Glazed Divine Water is the standard configuration.
After analyzing it for Xu Mochen, Jiuying lay on the ground and slept.
Xu Mochen condensed his light sword and slashed it on the ground, but it had no effect.
It seems that the only way to find strange fire is somewhere.
This is a sad answer.
Without the appropriate strange fire, the Huangting world could not be opened for the time being, and Xu Mochen had no choice but to withdraw from his inner world.
The improvement of cultivation level is stuck, but things in the outside world are going smoothly.
Tang Derun and others, in accordance with the order, began to return to the capital in batches.
On Xu Mochen's side, He Shu Wuyin led the team towards Lanzhou in a mighty manner.
It happens to be spring now, the melting season of ice and snow has passed, and the ground is no longer as muddy as before.
After arriving in the real Lanzhou, Xu Mochen saw that it was really remote and desolate.
"The geographical records are correct." Xu Mochen felt a little uncomfortable at the sharp contrast between the front and back. "Sure enough, this is a barren place."
Shu Wuyin, who was riding beside him on horseback, could see clearly: "Everything in the world has life and death, prosperity and poverty. This is the law of heaven and earth.
If everyone can have enough food and clothing, be healthy and healthy for the rest of their lives, and don’t need anything else, then that is not true. "
Xu Mochen was very surprised: "Miss Shu sees things very clearly."
"It's nothing," Shu Wuyin waved his hand, "I am a stranger. I have known since I was a child that I am different from ordinary people and immortal cultivators, and that I am an alternative in the world.
But so what, it’s not about living. "
Yes, for life, the most important meaning is to live and let one's own individuality continue.
It is different from the goal of immortal cultivators who focus on improving themselves, overcoming tribulations, and enjoying eternal life.
"If you put it like that," Xu Mochen became interested, "that kind of society where everyone achieves enlightenment and ascends to heaven is actually a symbol of collapse."
Shu Wuyin also smiled: "This is something that you emperors, immortal cultivators, adults should consider.
I just want to live on my own and the people around me who can protect me can live on. "
Xu Mochen was thoughtful, wondering if the "people around her" included herself.
"Xu Mochen," Shu Wuyin suddenly reined in the horse and gestured to the reins in his hand, "Do you dare to compete?"
Xu Mochen smiled, I am the emperor on horseback, are you competing with me on horseback?
Then give it a try and see who can ride better than whom!
The two looked at each other and smiled
, clamping his legs together, and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
On one side, Xu Mochen led the team towards the destination of Lanzhou, while on the other side, Tang Derun and others returned to the capital.
The movement was so loud that it was impossible to hide it from the cultivators.
But among them, they don’t know the details.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, a group of courtiers gathered.
"My lord, it seems that your majesty's trip is not going well. It is rare that Lord Tang will not follow your majesty."
"It's no wonder," one courtier said confidently, "I heard that at the entrance to Lanzhou, we encountered a sniper attack from the Minister of Works and the Minister of Works."
"No way, we didn't feel any fluctuations."
"Maybe it happened within the small area of Shenyin. I just confirmed that Master Ji and Master Si have not come back."
The news was not good, and everyone was silent for a while.
It seems that another department is finished this time.
If this continues, this court will become His Majesty's world.
"Ji Junen is nothing more than a loser," another courtier shook his head, "Si Tingxuan is not low in strength, how could he miss."
"It seems that your Majesty's national fate cannot be underestimated. Sir, please come up with countermeasures as soon as possible."
"Yes, as long as the Lord ascends to the top and calls out, the subordinates will definitely follow him to the death."
"Yes, yes, I'm just waiting for a word from you. Your Majesty has passed away, but there are still several vassal kings left."
…
Everyone wanted to stab Xu Mochen.
The Prime Minister looked at it without moving at all. He put down the tea cup and said, "This matter needs to be investigated. I don't know the truth of the matter.
So don't mess up your position and want to change the emperor at every turn.
Use your brain to think more about problems and do your job well.
I heard that if His Majesty continues to go deep into Lanzhou to build a hydropower station, he will not be able to come back for a year or so. "
That’s all.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"My lord is still wise. I understand, and I will act appropriately in the past year and a half."
"Several vassal kings also have some ideas, but they just need an excuse. I think I can think about it."
"Next year is the three-year competition and the five-year celebration of the unification of Daqian. This is a good excuse."
"As expected of the Prime Minister, take one step and see ten steps. This is not my humble opinion."
…
The Prime Minister remained calm: "Your Majesty transferred Tang Derun and others back to the capital, plus the two empresses in the harem and the princess. This is his main strength. You cannot act rashly."
Everyone said yes.
"As for the follow-up questions," the Prime Minister looked at everyone with a smile, "I know everything.
I can only tell you a little bit about it now. I’m afraid the masters from the Cloud Realm will also come by then. "
"Hiss—" As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.
The immortal cultivators in the Yunshang Realm exist in the form of souls and have long given up their physical bodies.
Unexpectedly, they were willing to return to the mortal world for the sake of a human emperor.
This is an extremely rare thing.
But this also gave everyone confidence.
"Someone from the Cloud Realm takes action, so this time it's definitely safe."
"I just hope that the imperial palace in the capital can be saved by then."
"Hahahaha, I'm so happy. Your Majesty's good days are finally over!"
"How can we, the immortal cultivators, be controlled by you as an emperor?"
…
"Okay, okay," the Prime Minister said, his morale almost lifted, "To be more specific, I will naturally take action in the court, you guys will act accordingly.
There will be plenty of time when His Majesty comes back. It is said that someone is coming from the Cloud Realm, so we can't behave too badly. "
Everyone said yes, and made some loyal and patriotic remarks to each other, and then everyone went back satisfied.
Wait until everyone leaves
, the prime minister then sat on the chair with a gloomy face.
After a long time, he took out a bronze mirror and injected it with spiritual energy. The mirror lit up and a figure appeared.
"Brother," the Prime Minister began to report, "I have received the exact news that Ji Junen failed."
The figure in the mirror was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Wanli Mountains and Rivers Picture Scroll, even if you and I are trapped in it, we have to pay a price to escape. Are you sure that Your Majesty is fine?"
"I don't know whether he was injured or not," the Prime Minister took a breath, "but there shouldn't be any big problem. This person..."
"I'm afraid he has entered the immortal realm," the figure sighed, "Just now, people from the Buddhist world who are friends with our Mo Alliance also brought information.
Not long ago, it was said that there was some commotion in the Buddhist community, but someone stepped in to stop it. It is not clear what the problem was. "
The Prime Minister's eyes flashed: "Senior Brother, are you worried that this matter has something to do with His Majesty?
It's impossible. How can the barrier of Yunshang Realm be opened without the soul? Is it a coincidence? "
The figure shook his head: "You have forgotten that there were similar rumors in the underworld not long ago.
That’s it this time, if it happens twice…”
Not a coincidence!
