Chapter 267 I am Di Shu Ling Ling Qi, Princess Pingyang eloped
"Master Jinlian, your coming to see me off already shows my deep affection and loyalty.
You're here, why bring a gift?"
The Taoist master Jinlian, who had originally looked calm, was slightly startled when he heard this. It seemed that he had not yet said he wanted to give a gift.
However, he did want to give the fragment of the Book of Earth to Li Changan, because Li Changan's actions and potential were obviously going to surpass Li Lingsu.
"You are practicing both martial arts and Taoism, and you have made such a great name in the martial arts world at such a young age. I really admire you."
Li Changan smiled calmly, "So, you really are here to give me a gift."
Taoist Jinlian said slowly, "You are right. This small mirror in my hand is a fragment of my Zongdi Book."
"The leader of the Earth Sect has been possessed by a demon, which has affected almost everyone. Xugu, whom you met before, is one of them. Only a few people, including me, have not been affected."
"And it is these fragments of the Earth Book that protect us."
Li Changan was silent. He knew that the Taoist leader Jinlian was talking about was himself.
"Success is due to merit, and failure is also due to merit. When the Taoist God founded the Earth Sect, he said that fortune and misfortune have no doors, but are brought upon by people themselves. The rewards for good and evil follow like a shadow."
"However, for us, the more merits we accumulate, the deeper the karma will be. The head of the Earth Sect has been doing good deeds and accumulating virtues. He failed to survive the calamity sixty years ago, and the karma backfired, causing him to fall into the path of evil. The saying that things will turn around when they reach their extremes is exactly this principle."
"If you want to prove your Dao with merit, you must bear the corresponding cause and effect. One thought can make you an immortal, and one thought can make you a demon. This is the fate that every Earth Sect member cannot escape."
Li Changan said, "The Taoist priest should know that it is impossible for me to join the Earth Sect."
The Taoist leader Jinlian smiled and said, "Brother Li's sword techniques are very advanced. It is very likely that they were taught by the Taoist leader of the Human Sect himself."
Li Changan smiled secretly in his heart. Luo Yuheng didn't know the Qingyuan Sword Technique. It would be good for him to teach it to the sect leader personally one day.
"The Tiandihui I founded is to gather the heroes of the world, kill the leader of the sect, and clean up the sect."
Li Changan asked, "What good will this do for me?"
Taoist Jinlian was a little surprised by this question. He thought that Li Changan would be like Li Miaozhen, who could not bear to see the evil leader of the Earth Sect doing evil, and would happily take the fragment of the Earth Book.
"Firstly, the Golden Eagle Warrior punishes evil and promotes good. It will be a great merit to kill the Earth Sect leader Black Lotus in the future."
"Secondly, the holders of the fragments of the Earth Book can communicate with each other, and the other people are not ordinary people either, so they can help each other if they encounter any difficulties."
"I have been cultivating merits for decades. Although I don't have any great abilities, I am still very accurate in judging people. Those in the Tiandihui will definitely have great fortune."
Taoist Jinlian was right. The people he chose were not bad and their qualifications were not bad either. According to the character Li Changan created for himself, he should accept this small jade mirror now.
If nothing else, it would be good to have one more magical weapon.
"Since the Taoist priest thinks so highly of Li, I will accept this fragment of the Earth Book."
Taoist Jinlian handed the small jade mirror to Li Changan and said with a smile, "I really didn't make a mistake. All I need to do is drip blood to recognize the owner, and this fragment will be able to communicate information."
"From now on, you are a member of the Tiandihui. I will not force you to do anything. You just need to do what is in your heart."
"The affairs of the Earth Sect must not be spread outside. The people who hold the Earth Book do not know each other, and they will not reveal their identities to each other during communication."
"I know your identities, but I will never reveal them. You are all scattered all over the world, and you will meet each other one day in the future. It is better to join the Tiandihui as soon as possible to form a friendship, so as to avoid fighting among the geniuses in the future and avoid casualties."
"If you run into trouble, you can seek help through the Earth Book. Mutual assistance is the purpose of the establishment of the Heaven and Earth Society. The holder of the Earth Book is named after the Earth Book serial number. You are Earth Book No. 7."
Number seven replaced the Holy Son in White, Li Lingsu.
After Taoist Master Jinlian left, Li Changan pricked his fingertip in the carriage, and blood dripped onto the small mirror.
The blood stayed on the mirror for a few seconds, then slowly disappeared and was absorbed by the mirror.
The next moment, the surrounding scenery began to blur, and the things in the carriage disappeared temporarily. In the chaos, Li Changan saw eight floating light spots.
Soon, all the light spots representing other earth books disappeared, and the process of blood dripping to recognize the owner was completed.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ling Lingqi, please give me your guidance."
Book No. 007 is exactly .
[Number Nine: Brother Ling Ling Qi is traveling in the capital, let's help each other in the future.]
Number nine is Taoist Priest Jinlian. His fragment of the Book of Earth will be snatched away by Taoist Priest Zilian one year later, and then Xu Qian'an helps him get it back.
[No. 2: No. 7, which government office do you work for? ]
Li Changan thought to himself, Little Miaozhen, you were just in your brother's arms. Li Miaozhen is indeed the most active and lively.
It seems that Taoist Master Jinlian has already given small mirror No. 2 to Li Miaozhen.
What he didn't know was that Li Miaozhen said this now because she wanted to ask for help for her lover.
[No. 7: Does my name sound like a lackey of the imperial court? Is the Dafeng imperial court worth serving?]
[No. 2: No. 7 has a point. The Emperor of Dafeng has a dog brain. He spends all day either thinking about cultivating immortality or cultivating with the beautiful imperial teacher. It is really meaningless to be loyal to Dafeng.]
In front of mirror number one, the stunningly beautiful eldest princess frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the prestige of the court had fallen to this point.
The newly joined No. 7 and No. 2 have no respect for the Dafeng royal family, but Huaiqing doesn't care about this. After all, true geniuses are all arrogant. It's no wonder that Emperor Yuan Jingdi has turned the Dafeng Dynasty into this state, so it's no wonder that people are alienated.
[No. 2: No. 7, No. 1, what big things happened in Beijing recently? Tell us about it and let everyone be happy? ]
Before Li Changan answered, he saw Princess Huaiqing's reply.
[Number One: Prince Yu is about to enter the cabinet, Princess Pingyang will get married next month, the chief constable of the Six Gates was killed by a big bandit, and the court has sent a new general to Yunzhou.]
Although what Huaiqing said was no secret in the capital, it would still take some time for it to spread far and wide. So it seemed that the fragments of the Book of Earth were still very useful.
Princess Pingyang's wedding is imminent, which means she is about to elope. Li Changan feels that now is the right time to go to Beijing.
[No. 1: No. 2, I heard that the situation in Jianzhou has improved recently. The Golden Eagle Hero and the Flying Swallow Hero have caused chaos in the Jianghu of Jianzhou.]
Li Changan thought to himself, Li Miaozhen has been a member of Tiandi for more than three months, but now she is so familiar with Number One, it seems that she often chats with him using the Earth Book.
[No. 2: No. 1, your information is delayed. There is no Golden Eagle Hero and Flying Swallow Hero in Jianzhou now, only the Golden Eagle Couple. I saw them from a distance once, the two of them standing on the back of a big eagle, the man was handsome and heroic, and the woman was heroic and valiant, they are really a perfect match! ]
Li Changan almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the mirror. It turned out that Li Miaozhen, who was so well-behaved and reserved in front of him, was so narcissistic.
Not only is he narcissistic, he also shows off his affection in the Tiandihui chat group...
[No. 1: Jianzhou is peaceful, but Yunzhou is in a terrible state, with banditry all the time.]
I don’t know whether Huaiqing did it intentionally or unintentionally, but this sentence clearly pointed Li Miaozhen in the right direction.
In fact, Li Changan left Jianzhou, and Li Miaozhen also embarked on the journey to Yunzhou.
Capital city, Qinglong Temple.
Henghui, a monk who entered the temple to practice at the age of six, was the apprentice of the abbot Panshu. Over the years, the clever little monk grew into a handsome monk with delicate features.
If he had not met Princess Pingyang, his whole life would have been accompanied by a green lamp, chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha all day long.
One day, he cut a handkerchief that a woman had deliberately dropped into the stream with his sword, and then he heard a woman's voice like an oriole.
"Master, that is my handkerchief, can you give it back to me?" The one who spoke was Princess Pingyang, who was slender and graceful, wearing a lotus-colored long skirt, with a pretty face and curved eyebrows.
She often came to Qinglong Temple to worship Buddha and had been paying attention to Henghui for a long time. The handkerchief was just an opportunity for them to meet.
On this sunny afternoon in spring, the sound of gurgling water opened up another world for Henghui, and from then on he could never get rid of this girl.
When Henghui was meditating, the girl would stay by his side, reading her forbidden books, or fanning him gently, staring at him in a daze. When Henghui didn't respond, the girl would sweep his nostrils with dogtail grass.
"If you continue like this, I will go into seclusion!"
He was angry, but the girl just stuck out her tongue and giggled, as if she had no sincerity in apologizing.
When he meditated, she accompanied him. When he went up the mountain to collect herbs, she followed him. When spring came and the mountain flowers were in full bloom, he suddenly couldn't tell whether the people or the flowers were beautiful.
Rumors are scary. The rumor reached the ears of the monk Panshu, "Henghui, you are interested in that girl. Do you want to return to secular life?"
Henghui was very determined, "I have no interest in that woman. I am willing to stay with the Buddha forever. I will never return to secular life and will take refuge in my Buddha."
The abbot had no choice but to let the woman enter the temple because she was the daughter of Prince Yu and a royal relative.
From that day on, the monk became indifferent to the girl's teasing and pranks.
"Monk, is this flower beautiful?"
"Monk, can I play the zither for you?"
"Monk, I feel very dizzy and unwell. Don't you care about me?"
"Monk, why do you want to bury yourself in loneliness?"
……
Henghui ignored all the words, no matter how sweet, joyful or concerned they were.
Finally, she stopped coming, as if this person had never existed.
The monk was able to continue to accompany the Buddha, and he seemed to be liberated, but soon he felt something was wrong, and he always felt that something was missing in his life.
More than a month later, Princess Pingyang came, looking dazed, her pretty face thinner and haggard.
"Monk, I'm getting married."
Hearing this, Henghui was speechless, his expression calm. Princess Pingyang felt a pain in her heart and tears filled her eyes.
Prince Yu would soon be able to enter the cabinet as prime minister. The noble group, which had been in a weak position, saw hope. Prince Yu also wanted to win over these powerful people, so he arranged a marriage for his legitimate daughter.
Royal ladies never have the power to decide their own marriage.
"Danglanglang..."
Suddenly, a clear sound rang out throughout the Buddhist hall.
The Buddhist beads were scattered all over the floor.
Looking at the Buddhist beads scattered all over the floor, Princess Pingyang finally held back her tears.
"Monk, are you willing to elope with me?"
"……it is good."
Henghui agreed because he had seen clearly what was in his heart.
Princess Pingyang cried with joy; her efforts were finally rewarded.
"Monk, I am accompanied by guards. If I am missing for more than half an hour, the guards will search the mountain, and it won't be long before the news reaches my father."
"We need a magical weapon that can conceal our aura and hide from the Si Tian Jian sorcerers. We also need to prepare a new household registration identity so that we can leave the capital. We also need to prepare money, otherwise we will have no way to survive if we escape..."
Princess Pingyang, who was lively and cheerful by nature, spoke out all the ideas she had been brewing for the past few days.
Henghui was a little dazed because he had no experience in worldly life and had no idea how to live outside. He could only listen to Princess Pingyang on how to elope.
"Don't worry, monk. I'll take care of everything!"
Princess Pingyang was very excited. After all, she was a princess. There was nothing she could not do since she was a child. It was just elopement, which was often done by the talented men and beautiful women in the banned books.
"As for other matters, I really can't help you, but this temple has a magic weapon that can conceal the aura and hide from any prying eyes... Master trusts me very much, I should be able to take it out."
Facing the princess's big watery eyes, Henghui could not remain indifferent and let the girl plan their future alone.
The girl smiled, leaned her head forward slightly, and pecked Henghui lightly on the face.
"Speaking of which, I really don't have a good way to deal with magic weapons. But I do have a way to get an identity. The son of the Pingyuan Earl's family often boasts to me that he is good at both black and white, and there is nothing in the capital that he can't handle."
"We grew up together, and his father is also trying to curry favor with my father. I have plenty of money, so if I give him some, he will definitely help me!"
"I asked him to create fake identities for us and send us out of the city. Then we'll be completely free!"
……
Listening to Princess Pingyang talking endlessly about her plan to elope, Henghui was full of longing for the future.
three days later.
At the residence of Zhang Feng, the Minister of War.
Zhang Fengzheng, Sun Mingzhong, the deputy secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Earl of Pingyuan were discussing something in secret.
Although Pingyuan Bo was a member of the nobles, he was very close to the civil officials and was not on the same page with Prince Yu, whom the nobles were pushing for.
"My Lord, is this true?"
Zhang Feng could not conceal his excitement in his words, and Sun Mingzhong also looked happy.
"Master Zhang, Master Sun, everything I said is true!"
"Prince Yu arranged a marriage for Princess Pingyang, but the princess wanted to elope with a monk and even found a magic weapon to conceal her aura."
"The princess asked my son to make a fake household registration for them. Now I have temporarily withheld the household registration. How should this matter be handled? Please give me some advice, my lords."
Zhang Feng was obviously the person in charge among these people. He stroked his neat and majestic beard and his expression gradually calmed down.
"Then help the princess elope!"
"Prince Yu is a royal relative. If he fails to discipline his daughter and lets her elope with a monk, where is Prince Yu's credibility?"
"He is a man who cultivates himself, manages his family, governs the country and brings peace to the world. Prince Yu can't even control the women in his family. He has done such an indecent thing. How can he help govern the country?"
Sun Mingzhong echoed, "Master Zhang is right, I think so too, after all, we didn't do anything, we just added fuel to the fire.
It’s only because Prince Yu didn’t teach his daughter well that he can’t enter the cabinet, and it’s not anyone else’s fault.”
