On this day, in the Peach Blossom Palace, there were distinguished guests such as Ling Zhen and Xian Hao who took the initiative to come to the door. As the host, Lu Chi naturally knew how to treat guests and other etiquette, so there was no need to say anything. .
The palace owner Lu Chi ordered the servants in the palace to prepare a large table of sumptuous dishes for the guests as a courtesy.
Peach Blossom Palace belongs to the Zhengyi sect and is an authentic Taoist sect. It does not require a light diet, and you can drink and eat meat as you like.
And those prepared delicacies from the mountains and seas are without exception the rarest treasures. Ordinary people are not lucky enough to enjoy them. People who practice Qi refining can also get the spiritual energy of heaven and earth they want from those precious ingredients!
It will not be like those mundane things that ordinary people eat, which are harmful to spiritual practice but not beneficial. Just eat and drink with an open belly.
In addition to the table of dishes that were so delicious and delicious that one would drool after just one look at them, just as Lu Chi had promised Ling Zhen outside the palace gate, he took out a drink called "Bacchus" that he had treasured for many years. .
There was also the Peach Blossom Brew, which was extremely famous in the palace and was made with exquisite craftsmanship, and everyone was summoned to bring it out in an altar, and generously shared it with everyone.
At the banquet, peach blossom wine was not considered a strong liquor and was even a bit sweet, so it was very popular among women. Ling Xingchui, Ling Wanji, and Ling Zhen's eighth sister Ling Xiaoxiao all rushed to drink it.
As for the three great men, Lu Chi, Xianhao, and Ling Zhen, it was natural for them to drink the few jars of Dionysian wine together.
This wine is strong and is the proud work of Lu Chi, who is very good at wine making. When you drink it, you will have a fantastic feeling of ecstasy in your mouth, as if you are about to reach heaven and become a god.
And he’s not just any god, he’s the God of Wine, the supreme god of wine!
Ling Zhen knew that this wine was precious and extremely strong, so even though he always liked to drink in large quantities, he only dared to drink it in small sips at the wine table, and did not dare to drink a bowl at a time, otherwise it would be extremely easy to get really drunk.
Once you are really drunk, you will inevitably receive at least one scolding from Sister Xiaoxiao.
During the banquet, Ling Zhen and Lu Chi asked Palace Master Lu Chi briefly about the ghost king Lu Tongxuan. They wanted to know what grudges there were between Lu Chi and the man surnamed Lu. Ghost King Lu even had his son. I am willing to let him go and become a disciple of Peach Blossom Palace.
Of course, Lu Chi had no intention of hiding anything, so he recalled a small part of his past experiences and told them.
That year, he went alone to the Great Pu Dynasty in the west of Hanlan Continent to discuss the secrets of the thunder method with Zhang Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion.
As a result, while the two were studying seriously, a little Taoist boy came to report that a demon sent by the devil came to ask the mountain gate. The person who came was undoubtedly the ghost king Lu Tongxuan, nicknamed the "King of Ghosts"!
Since the enemies are all coming up the mountain, what reason does Master Zhang have for not fighting? But by chance, Tianshi's pregnant wife accidentally moved her fetus. She fell while walking up the stairs and suffered unbearable pain in her abdomen.
Lu Chi was kind-hearted, and as a visiting guest, he took the initiative to take on the task of fighting. He asked the extremely anxious Zhang Tianshi to take care of his beloved wife who was in ill health, while he dealt with the demon king named Lu.
That battle took place on the Lion Peak of the Tianshi Mansion, and everyone knew that the Ghost King was defeated miserably. Zhang Tianshi didn't even make a move, and Lu Tongxuan was defeated by Lu Chi's Five Thunder Technique. He was disgraced. Returned to his demon lair.
After hearing this story that had happened many years ago, Ling Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "It turns out that the fifth brother-in-law had no past enmity with the Lu Ghost King before the battle at Tianshi Mansion?"
Lu Chi responded: "Indeed, there is no such thing, but that man named Lu was responsible for the trouble, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people. Since I happened to be in the Tianshi Mansion, I should do justice for Tian. Subduing demons and eliminating demons is what Taoist monks should do."
Ling Zhen was filled with admiration. He picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Lu Chi. He praised loudly: "As expected of me, Ling Zhen's brother-in-law. He thinks about all the people and can be called a great hero. I admire you! If you have the right, you will be as good as the devil." The legendary story of my brother-in-law defeating the Ghost King with his own hands should be told by the storyteller under the overpass for three days and three nights!"
Lu Chi was already very thin-skinned. Being praised so much by Ling Zhen and drinking some wine made him blush. It was a typical "embarrassment".
His Taoist companion, Ling Ling, who was wearing a bun, saw that his cheeks were red, and hurriedly helped to speak: "Ninth brother, you are almost done. Look, my Achi is blushing."
Ling Zhen laughed loudly, "I didn't expect that my brother-in-law would be so thin-skinned. That won't work. You have to practice. When you become thick enough, you won't be famous anymore."
Sitting at the same table, Ling Zhen's fourth sister Ling Xingchui couldn't help but joke: "You think everyone is like you, you are as thick-skinned as a city wall, even eight cannons can't penetrate it!"
Ling Zhen smiled shamelessly and said, "Yes, that's how it is. I hope that one day, my fifth sister's shamelessness can reach my current level. That would be perfect!"
The eighth sister, Ling Xiaoxiao, put a large piece of meat on Ling Zhen's plate and said in a nonchalant tone: "Eat your meat, there will be so many delicious things that I can't even fill your mouth."
Ling Zhen knew that among the people present, the one with the thinnest skin was not the Grand Palace Master Lu Chilu, but his "girly" sister who would never grow up in her life, Ling Xiaoxiao.
Knowing that she could no longer "embarrass" Sister Xiaoxiao, Ling Zhen dropped the topic and stopped talking nonsense.
After a few more glasses of wine, Ling Zhen suddenly remembered what happened on Quanzhen Mountain that day, and in a more serious tone, he described the Western Pulian Mountain Jialan Temple's attempt to attack the Peach Blossom Palace and even the entire Central Plains religious territory. All the unfavorable plans were told without any reservation.
After the fifth brother-in-law Lu Chizhi learned about this, he was very grateful to Ling Zhen for informing him of this extremely important information in advance. He said that since he already knew about Jialan Temple's plot, he would definitely make precautions and preparations early and never do anything. As for being succeeded by their conspiracy!
Ling Zhen just smiled and said, you are my brother-in-law, why do you need to thank me for such a small thing? Why should one family speak two different languages?
Ling Wanji and her Taoist companion Lu Chi, the fifth sister and fifth brother-in-law of Ling Zhen, were grateful for this incident and stood up together to toast Ling Zhen.
Ling Zhen stood up and gave a toast in return.
In the following time, Ling Zhen asked his fourth brother-in-law, Xianhao, for some ideas on the unity of the three religions, hoping to learn something useful from the idea of the great path of the human race's number one in immortality. Turn it into your own use.
In the past years, Ling Zhen had asked Lu Chi, the master of Peach Blossom Palace, for some advice on the foundation of Taoism's Zhengtong lineage, but he had never had a similar "academic" discussion with Xian Hao. He is really too young, his thoughts are not mature enough, and his knowledge is too shallow. He is skeptical about Xianhao's extremely unique view of "the three religions are integrated into one".
But as time goes by, and I have reached the age of twenty weak crowns, I feel more and more that Xianhao is indeed the strongest person in the Hanlanzhou Xianjia tradition. He is well-deserved, and he really has something!
Previously, in the Daxuan Tong Temple, Ling Zhen asked the temple master for some Taoist martial arts secrets with a fat face, so to this day, Ling Zhen is older and thicker-skinned, and what he says is even more unruly. .
He actually said very directly and straightforwardly at the banquet that the master of Xianhao Temple is no longer in charge of Daxuan Tongguan, so some useless Xianjia treasures will be wasted if left alone. It is better to leave them to Ling Zhen for safekeeping. This saves the fourth brother-in-law from worrying all day long about what to do.
It is said that it is useless to keep it, but it is a pity to throw it away!
Xianhao had long known what kind of character and thoughts he, the brother of a Taoist monk, was like. Since he was willing to lower his face and openly "ask for bribes" at the table, then as a brother-in-law, he should have expressed his gratitude, otherwise I'm sorry. The title of "brother-in-law".
His Taoist companion Ling Xingchui was cursing that his ninth brother was getting thicker and thicker. Xianhao had already taken out an object from Mustard Sumeru's storage ring.
It was a colorful and bizarre little alchemy furnace, probably only a little bigger than a fist.
Xian Hao held the exquisite and gorgeous little stove in his hand, smiled confidently, and said: "This thing is called 'Laojun Alchemy Furnace'. As long as you recite the unique formula, it can instantly become as big as this room. After that, You can put any magic weapon, spiritual weapon, or other rare and exotic items into it, and add various grades of talismans and treasures to increase the material level of the item to a higher level. The more you refine it, the higher its value will be! You can even add it to the item. You can process and smelt some crude medicines in the mortal world at will into Taoist elixirs and immortal elixirs that can save people's lives, and then sell them to mortals under the mountain. That is a genuine and top-quality thing, and many people can only dream of it. Not coming!"
The red-robed Taoist priest said with a smile: "Now that I am no longer the master of Daxuan Tongguan, I have no disciples and no dojo. This alchemy furnace is of little use to me. I just want to sell it to those vulgar ordinary people." , but I’m a little reluctant to give it up, I still feel like it takes up space if I put it here. Since it’s such a coincidence that I bumped into Master Ling today, I will be bold enough to give the sword to the hero and give this stove away, hoping that Master Ling will accept it!”
Ling Zhenji happily reached out and took over the small and exquisite Laojun alchemy furnace.
After learning from Xianhao's mouth how to use it and the secret formula to make it bigger, Ling Zhen stood up on his own initiative, held a bowl and toasted, and said loudly: "Brother-in-law is really a good man once in a lifetime. My fourth sister is also such a rare man in the world." There are some good women, talented men and beautiful women, perfect for each other. I am here to wish you a beautiful couple forever and ever!"
Xianhao and Ling Xingchui both smiled and stood up to respond.
That night, several guests stayed overnight inside the Peach Blossom Palace.
Xianhao and Ling Xingchui lived in one room, and Ling Zhen and his eighth sister Ling Xiaoxiao lived in one room each. The night was uneventful.
The next day, Lu Chi spent most of the day helping Ling Zhen explain the knowledge of the Five Thunder Techniques. Since the young master of the Tianshen Villa had an excellent understanding and an innately enlightened body, he didn't put much effort at all. He easily learned the "Five Thunder Technique", which is the most lethal among Taoist exercises.
In the excitement, Ling Zhen set off to the outside of the palace gate, where he used the five thunders of the magic seal in the large peach blossom forest, knocking down countless peach blossom trees planted by Lu Chi in the past.
This made Palace Master Lu begin to regret why she had to teach this young master the thunder method.
Isn’t this just making yourself feel uncomfortable?
On the same day, Xianhao also responded to Taoist companion Ling Xingchui's request and took the initiative to teach Ling Xiaoxiao many immortal arts. Xiaoxiao, the eighth daughter of the Ling family, was far inferior to her ninth brother in terms of martial arts qualifications, so she had some extremely powerful magical skills. There is no way to master it in a short time, and you can't even learn it superficially.
Xian Hao then chose to take out a lot of secret techniques from his treasure house of martial arts classics. Ling Xiaoxiao accepted the secret books with a smile and promised the Taoist Master that he would practice hard in the future and strive to understand the details and foundation of the Tao sect as soon as possible. solid!
The next day, Ling Zhen chose a ventilated and open area behind the Peach Blossom Palace building, used the secrets of Taoism, spoke out the divine decree, and just like that, he transformed an alchemy furnace no bigger than a fist into a tall and ten-foot-tall alchemy furnace. A giant furnace measuring 10 feet.
Take out the dragon tendon separated from the body of the Dragon King of Jianghe from the Najie, throw it into Laojun's furnace, add many radiant talisman papers presented by Lu Chi, as well as some unique alchemy raw materials from Peach Blossom Palace, as well as the thunder skills that you have trained yourself. Li Zhenqi, tempered and beaten repeatedly.
After a few hours, he opened the furnace and retrieved the items, and obtained a gorgeous "Thunder Whip" made of dragon tendons.
The whip has extraordinary toughness and extraordinary killing power. When you look down, you can see bursts of hidden thunder, which is very shocking!
Ling Zhen held the long whip in his hand and was full of energy. He thought about the heroic figure of Sister Xu wielding the soul-breaking whip in the Red Lian Gui Ruins in the past. He couldn't help but feel fascinated and yearned for it.
After putting away Laojun's alchemy furnace and entering the precepts, he immediately started practicing martial arts on that land, and what he practiced was naturally the whip technique.
The thunderous energy rolls away like a snake, and the whistling sound of the whip is just like the roar of a dragon!
After playing for a long time, Ling Zhen stopped as dusk approached. After standing still, he looked at the newly crafted slender whip in his hand for a while, then raised his head and looked at the night sky that was drooping. .
The young man in the green robe shouted loudly: "I have thought about it, this whip will be called the 'God Whip'!"
It was almost completely dark.
Ling Zhen returned to the palace and found Lu Chi, the master of the Peach Blossom Palace. He was going to talk with this Taoist master about how the thunder technique could work wonders in actual whip combat.
But before they could talk about anything useful, a young Taoist priest wearing a white robe suddenly broke into the meeting place in an unruly manner.
After he entered the house in a panic, the pink-robed Taoist priest Lu Chi suddenly looked unhappy, frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"
The little Taoist priest was out of breath after running. After panting for a while, he said: "Palace Master, no, it's not good! There are cavalry outside who are about to attack!"
Lu Chi and Ling Zhen were both surprised, and they both stood up from their seats.
cavalry?
Called in? !
Outside the gate of Peach Blossom Palace, there are thick iron armor and war horses arrayed in formation.
The armor covers the men and horses, and the cold light of the thick iron pieces, reflected by the moonlight in the sky, is as bright as a mirror and as cold as ice!
Nearly 10,000 heavily armored cavalrymen have gathered outside this Taoist holy land. Their momentum is so majestic that it can make the bright moon dim.
At the forefront of a group of elite cavalry, there was a huge beast, far larger than a tiger or a lion, with bright blue and orange fur all over its body.
There is a pair of short snow-white horns on the top of the head, and the pupils are green, as if inlaid with two emerald rare gems.
The fangs are spread out, looking fierce!
Riding on the back of this giant beast was a blue-robed young man who was extremely well-dressed and had a jade medal on his waist.
His face was handsome, but his eyes were cold and murderous.
He was riding on the back of the giant beast, holding the reins in his hand, looking up at the palace plaque hanging above the palace gate.
On the left and right sides of the white-horned beast, there is a person standing on each side.
The man on the left has hair that falls like a waterfall, hanging down to his waist. His figure is quite thin and skinny, and he looks even shorter due to his slender shoulders and hunched back.
With a slight beard at the corner of his mouth and a pair of narrowed slender eyes, his whole face looks extremely cunning and full of bad qualities!
There is a long sword with a pure white scabbard hanging diagonally behind him. Because of its extremely long length, it looks like he is carrying a spear on his back.
As for the man on the right, his physique is completely different from that of the man carrying the sword. His back is very straight, his back is strong and his waist is strong. He wears a short shirt sewn from animal skin, revealing two dark arms with strong muscles.
His facial features are extremely rough and strong, his eyebrows are erect, and his beard is thick and lush. Even if he is said to love cannibalism, it would not look inconsistent with his image!
At his waist was a long knife with a jet black sheath, and a round brown-yellow gemstone on the handle, which was definitely worth a lot of money.
The blue-robed young man on the back of the beast, after looking at the plaque on the palace gate for a while, said to the two people on the left and right: "You two, go and break the gate and the plaque on the door. Got it!"
Obviously he wanted to use this to give this Taoist palace a solid "power"!
As soon as the words were spoken, the two men with knives and swords as weapons took action one after another.
The burly giant sweat wearing animal skin quickly pulled out the long knife at his waist. The blade made a trembling sound when it was unsheathed. He raised his extremely thick arm and slashed out suddenly.
The thick black sword rushed away at high speed.
The palace gate plaque with "Peach Blossom Palace" written in the middle was destroyed by this strong energy. It shattered in an instant, fell from a height, fell to the ground, and smashed into pieces!
The other man with a sword on his back did not take off his sword, but chose to contain a ball of blue flame-like infuriating energy in his palm, which was extremely colorful.
The fire in the palm illuminated the night, and the man pushed his palm out in an instant and rushed towards the palace gate.
The palace door with a foot-shaped depression was instantly hit by the blue fire and collapsed!
There is no plaque or main entrance. The so-called "declaration of war" is nothing more than that.
The wealthy young man riding on the back of the blue and yellow beast smiled slightly, with a relaxed and calm expression. He seemed to have no sense of urgency about the impending war, and looked like he was sure of victory.
He looked at the Peach Blossom Palace without a gate, narrowed his eyes, and then said calmly: "Today, in front of you, Lu Chi, I will destroy your Peach Blossom Palace!"
————
Inside the residence of Prince Jiyuan.
The prince, Ling Yunfeng, who fully supported the crown prince's ascension to the throne one day, knew that it was destined to be difficult to fall asleep tonight, and he would definitely not be able to sleep.
He was alone in his nightgown. Due to excessive anxiety, he paced back and forth in the study, repeatedly recalling the words of the Prince Ling Mian who visited the palace yesterday, and all the words of the man in blue.
The old vassal king Ling Yunfeng had a solemn expression on his face and repeatedly muttered to himself: "It's amazing. This move is really amazing..."
