The banquet lasted until evening.
Huaying and Chu Qingcheng got drunk one after another.
Zhu Xian and Qin Luo drank a lot of wine, Xiaotuanzi drooled with envy, and she could only gnaw on the pig knuckle to satisfy her craving.
Qin Luo watched Zhu Xian drink one glass after another, and then realized that she had a good drinking capacity, "So you are such a good drinker."
Zhu Xian raised his eyebrows, "Of course, I wanted to get you drunk, so why can't you imitate me?"
Qin Luo held his forehead, "I'm a little drunk."
"You're so fake!"
Zhu Xian looked at Hua Ying who was drunk on the wine table and said, "Ying'er doesn't want to practice Taoism. She will leave Supreme View after hosting the Taoism discussion. I plan to let her go to Huaxi Village to raise pigs."
"fine."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Zhu Xian's phoenix eyes stared at Qin Luo, and she asked: "Ying'er originally had the appearance of a celestial being, but you made her have a weak heart. Don't you feel guilty?"
Qin Luo shook his head, "Why should you feel guilty?"
"They all say that the highest state of Taoism is ruthlessness. It's true. You are awesome!" Zhu Xian raised the wine glass towards Qin Luo and drank it down in one gulp.
Qin Luo smiled calmly. He looked at the drunk Chu Qingcheng and said softly: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. I will send Senior Sister back to rest first."
Zhu Xian nodded, "Then please send the eldest princess back to rest. Wan'er, you can send Xiaotuanzi and Lao Gao back to Tianqianyuan."
"promise!"
Wan'er said respectfully.
Xiaotuanzi has a big chicken drumstick in each hand.
Zhu Xian did not arrange a carriage for Qin Luo, so he could only leave the palace with his senior sister in his arms.
When Qin Luo carried Chu Qingcheng back to Tenglong Inn, Chu Qingcheng opened her eyes and said with a smile: "Junior brother, let me down."
Qin Luo put down Chu Qingcheng and chuckled: "Senior sister, are you pretending too?"
Chu Qingcheng smiled sweetly, "I'm a little drunk, I just woke up, we'll see you tomorrow."
Qin Luo waved goodbye to his senior sister. When he returned to Tianqianyuan, it was already late. Xiaotuanzi was playing in the yard, with the little black cat in her arms.
The Emperor Star is getting closer and closer to the capital.
The sky was filled with purple mist.
Qin Luo took out the golden gourd and took a sip. The dew was still delicious.
"Boss, when will we go back?"
"You can go back anytime."
"I mean us."
Qin Luo looked at Emperor Xing, "I don't know."
Xiaotuanzi rubbed the little black cat's head, grinning stupidly, "Xiaotuanzi, would you like to follow me to the Ziyun Mountains, and follow me to eat well and drink spicy food."
The little black cat made no sound.
Outside the capital city of Daxia.
The Supreme View in the deep mountains is extremely quiet.
In the Sutra Pavilion, Pei Mu was reading ancient books by candlelight. He was the direct disciple of the Imperial Master. Since his defeat to Qin Luo, he had been reading in the Sutra Pavilion, hoping to understand stronger Taoism.
"is that useful?"
There were whispers in the darkness.
Pei Mu was frightened and trembled. He came to his senses, closed the book in his hand, and said respectfully: "Master, the principles in the book have benefited my disciples a lot."
The Imperial Master walked out of the darkness. He was wearing a black robe, and the lights in the pavilion were flickering. "What is useful is Tao, and what is useless is not Tao. It doesn't matter whether you have Tao or not, and it doesn't matter whether you can attain Tao. What matters is who you are." , what kind of role are you going to play, and have you really lived it?"
Pei Mu knelt on the ground excitedly, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching. I will keep it in my heart!"
"My teacher is about to leave. If you can carry the burden of Supreme View, you will. If you can't, don't be embarrassed and just disband Supreme View."
Pei Mu's eyes widened, he lowered his head and said, "Master, junior sister is more qualified than me!"
After a long time, there was no sound in the Sutra Pavilion. Pei Mu slowly raised his head, and the Imperial Master had long since disappeared.
The capital of Daxia.
Golden patterns lit up on the city wall that was higher than the mountain. The Qian and Kun hexagrams lit up one after another. A large formation appeared in the capital. A golden light flashed past, and the whole city became silent.
The next day, early morning.
After Lao Gao got up, he picked some vegetables in the field. When he came back, he saw Qin Luo practicing boxing, "Taoist Priest, would you like a bowl of clear soup noodles?"
"Have a bowl."
Qin Luo saw that the dumplings were delicious and wanted to try them.
Lao Gao went back to the kitchen and cooked three bowls of clear soup noodles. Qin Luo ate one with chopsticks, with a smile on his face, "No wonder Master shed tears, it turns out it's the taste of hometown."
Xiaotuanzi picked up a noodle and fed it to the little black cat, then grinned sweetly, "Quickly say thank you Sister Tuanzi."
"Meow~"
The little black cat looked at the little dumpling.
Xiaotuanzi slurped the noodles quickly. She finished the noodle soup and then showed the empty bowl to the little black cat. There were still chopped green onions on her white teeth. "Look, it's gone."
Qin Luo finished eating the noodles.
Wan'er happened to arrive at Tianqianyuan, "Taoist Master Qin, the princess asked me to invite you to the Supreme View to discuss Taoism!"
"I also need to go!"
Xiaotuanzi likes to join in the fun.
Qin Luo said with a serious expression: "Don't go anywhere, stay in the yard with Lao Gao."
"oh!"
Xiaotuanzi pouted.
Qin Luo and Wan'er left Tianqianyuan.
Xiaotuanzi could only watch them go further and further away.
The little black cat followed Qin Luo. When Xiaotuanzi saw it, he shouted loudly: "Little Heizi, come back!"
The little black cat left without looking back.
Xiaotuanzi was very envious, but still followed Qin Luo's arrangement and stayed in the yard with Lao Gao.
Qin Luo walked on the street. He looked at the deserted street. There was no one on the street.
Even Wan'er was a little surprised. All the people in the city disappeared overnight. She didn't hear any movement and didn't know what was going on.
When Qin Luo approached the Supreme Temple, he saw a burly man with two horns on his head, which was the symbol of the Dragon Clan. The young man from the Dragon Clan walked into the Supreme Temple.
"Who is that?"
"The second son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Ao Rui."
Wan'er continued: "The relationship between Daxia and the East China Sea Dragon Clan is very tense. A few years ago, the youngest son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea made trouble in the eastern sea of Daxia. After Si Tianjian went to warn him, he intensified his behavior and was finally suppressed and killed by the princess."
"No wonder he carries murderous intent!"
The Daxia Dynasty had many enemies, and Qin Luo knew that this argument was very detrimental to the Daxia Dynasty.
Qin Luo walked into the Supreme View. He saw Lu Ming and bowed to him. He also saw the ancestor of the martial arts academy and Jiang Ding.
The ancestor of the martial arts academy recovered well. He bowed to Qin Luo and saluted with gratitude in his eyes, "Taoist Master Qin, I haven't thanked you properly yet."
Qin Luo waved his hand with a humble look on his face, "Senior, we each get what we need, you don't need to keep it in mind!"
They walked towards the Supreme View together.
Qin Luo saw the main hall dedicated to Taoist ancestors. He walked towards the main hall. There were strong men from all forces in the hall. The portrait of Taoist ancestors at the top was a bit blurry and could not be seen clearly.
There were many strong men in the hall, but there was no incense in the incense burner. Qin Luo saw Dao Zi from Bai Yuguan and Yuan Qi from Dao Alliance. They all stopped and watched in the hall.
Qin Luo took out three sticks of incense and lit them.
He took the incense and bowed in salute, then placed three sticks of incense in the incense burner. Green smoke rose in the hall.
Prince Dazhen said with an indifferent expression: "These green smoke are no different from ordinary green smoke."
Taoist alliance Yuan Qi looked at Qin Luo, shook his head, and said softly: "He has run out of energy!"
"Little junior brother!"
Chu Qingcheng walked into the palace.
Qin Luo turned around and saluted with his hands raised, "Senior sister!"
Chu Qingcheng walked to the incense burner and bowed to the portrait of Daozu with a respectful expression.
Hua Ying appeared outside the hall. She was wearing a lavender dress and her purple hair was tied up high. She was noble and elegant. "Everyone, the discussion is about to begin. Please follow me."
Qin Luo and the others followed Huaying to the depths of the Supreme View. Not far away was a tall building. There were many platforms under the tall building. From a height, they looked like eye positions on a chessboard.
There are many powerful people near the Taoist platform, including an old monk in black cassock, a slovenly-looking middle-aged swordsman, a burly monster with a lion face, a handsome young man in gray armor, and a banished fairy in a white dress with vertical eyes on his forehead. The genius of the fairy world.
There are hundreds of strong men in the Supreme Temple, many of whom Qin Luo has never seen before. There are still strong men in the royal capital who have not come to the Supreme Temple, such as the True Sage in Qilong Lane and Duke Zhou of Daxia Academy. The old woman Xiaotuanzi met and so on.
Huaying stood in front of many Tao platforms. She said loudly: "Everyone, my master proposed to use chess games to discuss Tao. I support man's victory and heaven's control of white, and his support of heaven's victory. Man's control of black. We can all make our own moves."
"interesting!"
The strong men around were nodding.
Qin Luo smiled. He didn't expect to discuss Tao in such a way. The imperial master was forcing him to choose.
Yuan Qi was carrying an empty scabbard. He stepped forward and asked, "So Zhi Bai goes first?"
The rule of Daxia is to act white first.
Anyone who plays chess knows that playing first has an advantage.
Hua Ying said softly: "How dare the human race let the way of heaven come first!"
