In Li Chen's cave, he was harmonizing with his wife Qin Se. His wife was standing beside her husband with a smile on her lips, as if whispering something in his ear. At this time, Li Chen was not as aloof as before, and his face was rarely seen. A touch of warmth.
At this time, the gatekeeper boy reported outside the door: "Elder Qi, your junior fellow disciple Mu Sheng is here to visit."
When Li Chen heard this, he was stunned for a long time. He suddenly got up and went out to see the boy. He asked again and said, "Say it again? Who is here?"
The gatekeeper boy said respectfully: "Elder Qi, a monk from the inner sect is here to visit. He claims to be your junior brother Mu Sheng. Do you want me to call him in?"
Li Chen nodded and said: "No need, I will go see him in person..."
At this time, when the courtyard door opened, Li Chen saw that it was indeed Mu Sheng himself. He took one step at a time, stepped forward, bowed and said, "My lord, Li Chen pays homage to your majesty."
Today is different from the past. Junior brother has become the emperor and the lord of the world. The status and etiquette in this secular world are especially important. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king, even Master Li Wenmianjun? You also have to salute.
Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward to support Li Chen and said: "Brother, there is no need to be too polite. Today, junior brother, I am here to visit you in a private capacity. From today on, I am not the emperor, but a disciple of the Yuzhen Sect. This common courtesy can be avoided." Sorry, you seem to be a bit dissatisfied between our senior brothers. As usual, senior brother should call me junior brother."
Hearing this, Li Chen felt warm in his heart. His junior brother was still the same junior brother he was before, and he had not changed even after he succeeded to the throne.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Okay, in that case, senior brother, I will call you junior brother without permission."
Mu Sheng laughed and said, "This is exactly what senior brother should do."
Li Chen looked Mu Sheng up and down, and said with some surprise: "Junior brother, your cultivation speed is too amazing, isn't it? I can't even see through your true cultivation level now..."
Now that Tianque is offline, it is difficult for Mu Sheng to hide his true cultivation level.
Mu Sheng simply confessed: "To be honest with you, senior brother, I have just had some adventures over the years. I will tell you in detail later so that senior brother will know."
Li Chen said: "Okay, junior brother, let's go into the mansion and discuss it in detail."
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Okay!"
After the two of them entered the house and took their seats, a beauty with bright eyebrows and white teeth floated over with wine and food and placed it in front of the two of them.
Mu Sheng was a little surprised when he saw this. This was the first time that he saw his senior brother with a female family member by his side. Before, he thought that his senior brother was not interested in women...
Seeing this, Li Chen smiled and introduced to Mu Sheng: "Junior brother, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Huang Shan. She is a disciple of Elder Lu of Lingxuan Sect. A few years ago, it was our turn for Yuzhen Sect to hold a sword debate. During the conference, my wife happened to follow Elder Lu to our Yuzhen Sect to participate in the sword discussion conference, and this made us a good match."
Mu Sheng quickly stood up and saluted Huang Shan: "Mu Sheng pays homage to my sister-in-law."
Huang Shan chuckled lightly and returned to Mu Sheng: "Uncle, you're welcome. Let's chat and I won't disturb you." After that, she went to the inner hall.
Mu Sheng picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said to Li Chen: "Senior brother, you are so lucky. You and your sister-in-law are really talented and beautiful."
Li Chen smiled and waved his hands: "From now on, I will be like Master, and there will be someone above me to take care of me."
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "It seems that if something big happens in the future, junior brother, I will have to ask my sister-in-law for instructions first?"
The two looked at each other and laughed, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was getting closer.
Li Chen asked: "By the way, junior brother, didn't you visit Master first when you came here?"
Mu Sheng waved his hand and said: "Senior Brother, you also know that with my current status, it is always inconvenient to meet Master first. I still want to take Senior Brother with me to meet Master and him."
Li Chen nodded and said, "That's right. When Master sees you, he has to bow to you first. It's better for me to go see Master first than to be a little embarrassed when we actually meet."
Mu Sheng said: "That's right, huh? Senior brother, I just heard the doorman talking about Elder Li. Could it be that senior brother has become an elder of Yuzhen Sect? But he has officially entered the elders' house?"
Hearing this, Li Chen sighed softly and said: "Alas! It's not thanks to you, Junior Brother, that now the title of Senior Senior Brother has been given to Elder Hong's direct disciple Tang Ming. With my mere cultivation in the Heavenly Master realm, I have advanced After entering the Presbyterian Academy, now the master is not only in the Elder Academy, but also in the Yuzhen Sect. In fact, this is all because you became the True Dragon Emperor. Our Yuzhen Sect has been established for thousands of years. This has never happened before.”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he laughed. Of course he knew the reason. The status of the emperor was really more important than Mount Tai. Although Yuzhen Sect was famous in the world of monks and was the number one sect in the world, in front of the behemoth of the imperial court, Yuzhenzong is still not enough.
Now that headmaster Li Wen's personal disciple has become the emperor, naturally the entire Yuzhen Sect can only follow the lead of headmaster Li Wen. The emperor's master cannot afford to offend him, and the senior brother does not care whether he has reached the level of cultivation, so he was immediately carried into the palace. The Council of Elders has become the real authority in the Yuzhen Sect.
The two chatted for a while, and Mu Sheng talked about how he became a monk in the realm of Four Harmonies. Of course, he didn't mention much about Tianque. I am in a dangerous situation, and some secrets can only be kept deep in my heart for a lifetime, and no one can tell them.
Li Chen looked at Mu Sheng as if he were listening to a book from heaven, and said: "Junior brother, you are really... I don't know what to say to you. I even wonder if all the ancestors of my Yuzhen Sect are secretly doing this." Help you? If it weren’t for your actual cultivation in the Four Phases Unity Realm, it would be hard for me to believe this.”
Hearing this, Mu Sheng sighed with emotion: "Don't say it's senior brother, you can't believe it. Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming when I think about it. If the life and death disaster in Yucheng hadn't been for the carelessness of that old thief Borges, I wouldn't have had the chance to come back. of."
Li Chen nodded slightly and said, "That's right. You really survived the catastrophe and will be blessed later. If you hadn't become the emperor now, you would have been able to enter the Elder's House right away with your monster-level cultivation."
"You don't know that last year our Yuzhen Sect's two elders of the Ming generation who were closed to life and death have both fallen. Now our Yuzhen Sect includes Master Xuanqing Zhenren, Junior Brother Hongze's grandpa, Xuanling Zhenren Elder Hong, Zhang Lin’s grandfather, the former headmaster Xuanjing Master Zhang, and the Zhenzi generation Chisong Master Ma. There are only four Four-phase Return One Realm monks left in the whole sect. Our Yuzhen Sect is the best in the world. The name of the sect is so prestigious that it is hard to live up to it. We very much need a monk who can achieve the realm of Four Elements, and now the pressure is on me and Tang Ming, the two direct disciples who have high hopes for us, alas."
Mu Sheng was surprised: "Our Yuzhen Sect lost two elders all at once?"
"Well, those two elders of the Ming Dynasty are a Taoist couple. They have been taught by the same master for 487 years since they became Taoist in the Age of Nations. They are close in age and have practiced Taoism together to this day. They have a deep love as husband and wife. , both of them were approaching the end of their lifespan, and they both agreed to undergo a life-and-death trial together, so our Yuzhen Sect lost two elders all at once, which is a pity." Li Chen explained this way.
After hearing this, Mu Sheng said with emotion: "I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever. It is not easy to stay together for more than four hundred years."
Li Chen nodded and said: "Yes, the two elders have also become legends in the history of our Yuzhen Sect."
Mu Sheng sighed: "I really miss my time here. Now I understand why master didn't let me go up the mountain and insisted on letting me stay in the capital."
Li Chen sighed with emotion: "Junior brother, you are a person with a destiny. Master is proficient in numerology. He may have seen it long ago."
Mu Sheng said: "Yes, since we have talked about the master, let's go and see his old man?"
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "Not today. I heard that Master is currently in seclusion to practice and understand the secrets of heaven, and he will not be released until the day after tomorrow."
Mu Sheng nodded: "Okay, then how many days have you been bothering senior brother?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "You can rest assured to live here, there is plenty of space."
Two days later, the two brothers went to the place where the master was retreating to wait for Master Li Wen to come out of seclusion.
When the two arrived here, they saw that Hong Ze had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Mu Sheng, he was a little shocked. He quickly came to his senses and stepped forward to salute: "My lord, I would like to pay my respects to the Second Master...I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty, our Emperor." Long live."
Mu Sheng chuckled, this kid finally stopped calling him Second Senior Brother.
Mu Sheng stepped forward to help him up and said: "Junior Brother Hong, I am here in a private capacity, so I will waive the common etiquette. By the way, don't tell outsiders that I am here."
Hong Ze promised repeatedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no one else will know about this."
Before Hong Ze finished speaking, at this moment, the stone door of Li Wen's retreat slowly opened, and a voice was heard from inside the cave: "You all come in."
The three of them immediately entered the cave entrance. The cave was quite spacious. Shark oil lamps were burning on the artificially dug walls. There was a small Dharma altar inside the cave. The headmaster Li Wen frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
The three apprentices went up and said in unison: "Congratulations, Master, on your successful release from seclusion."
Li Wen suddenly heard a familiar voice and couldn't believe it. As soon as he turned around, Mu Sheng immediately stepped forward to salute the disciple and said: "Disciple Mu Sheng pays homage to the master."
Just when Li Wen was about to pay homage to the king, Mu Sheng quickly stepped forward and took Li Wen's hand, saying, "Master, today my disciple is here to visit you in a private capacity. The common courtesy is waived. You should always call your disciple by his real name." Bar."
Li Wen sighed, and seeing Mu Sheng's sincere attitude, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, then I'm overstepping my bounds. I came out of seclusion today to find you, but I didn't expect His Majesty to come here in person. In this case …”
Li Wen said something in the middle, and let out a light sigh. He looked Mu Sheng carefully up and down and said, "When did your Majesty reach the realm of Four Phases Reunion? No wonder I can't predict your whereabouts."
The senior brother naturally knew the truth, and Hong Ze's jaw almost dropped in shock when he heard this.
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly and explained the cause and effect to Master and the others.
After hearing this, Li Wen nodded slightly and said: "This calamity is really blessed by God. When you went to conquer the Mountain Puppet, I calculated that you would have a life-and-death calamity, but you would turn it into a disaster, but I didn't expect that not only would you encounter I didn’t expect that I would have such an opportunity to turn evil into good fortune..."
Mu Sheng said: "Yes, Master, I didn't expect it either."
Mu Sheng caught a glimpse of the divination words on the altar and asked curiously: "Master, are you in seclusion to study the art of divination?"
Li Wen nodded and said: "Well, I have nothing to do as a teacher these days, so I will take some time to do some research..."
The master and apprentice chatted for a while, and the three apprentices accompanied Li Wen back to the main hall. Li Chen and Hong Ze excused themselves and left. They saw that the master seemed to want to talk to Mu Sheng in private about something, so they All avoided.
Mu Sheng and his master didn't meet often, so they naturally talked more.
Li Wen suddenly changed the subject and said, "Sheng'er, do you know why our Yuzhen Sect can become the number one sect in the world?"
Hearing this, Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "Master, please give me some advice."
Li Wendao: "Our Yuzhen sect is actually not as good as the other three sects in terms of bravery, ruthlessness, and strange skills. The reason why our Yuzhen sect is ranked first is mainly because what the Yuzhen sect is really best at is handed down from ancient times. The key to our Yuzhen Sect’s ability to survive for thousands of years is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.”
Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly and said, "Disciple understands."
Li Wendao said: "Your Majesty is now in charge of the country, and the country, the country, and the country are all dependent on your thoughts. I am a little worried, so I only did one thing during those few days of seclusion, which was to calculate the future national destiny of the Jin Dynasty. "
When Mu Sheng heard this, he was shocked and said: "National destiny? Master, can the national destiny also be calculated?"
Li Wen said calmly: "Of course it can be calculated that everything in the universe, astronomy and geography, as well as the general trend of the world and the future of numerology are all included in the Zhoutian magic number. However, when manpower will eventually be limited, the Zhoutian magic number is all-encompassing. He has almost exhausted the changes in the birth and death of all things in the universe. Even if I try my best, I can only come up with some obscure hints, like seeing a leopard through a tube."
Li Wen handed a scroll of bamboo slips to Mu Sheng and said: "This book is what I learned from my master's study of the heavenly secrets. You go back and think about it carefully. This is all I can do for you."
Mu Sheng was greatly moved, and he saluted and said, "Thank you, Master. I will understand it carefully when I return."
