Too much fruit

Chapter 275

Tiezhu Temple is located in the west of Longyuan Lake, at the foot of Wanshou Mountain.

The Taoist temple occupies a large area, about 50 acres, with six halls, six pavilions, twelve floors, three corridors, seven doors and eighteen halls. It is so large that it is considered to be at the forefront even if it is placed in Taoist temples.

However, the most famous thing about Iron Pillar Temple is the towering iron pillar on the Immortal Platform behind it.

Some people say that the iron pillars of the Iron Pillar Temple suppress the water veins of Longyuan Lake to prevent floods. Others say that the iron pillars are actually objects that reach the sky, representing the cultivation ambition of the first generation temple masters to reach the sky.

There are various theories, and the Iron Pillar Temple itself is named after "Iron Pillar", which has attracted many people's imagination.

When the flying boat arrived at the river area near Wanshou Mountain, Jiang Li and the other three who came out of the cabin immediately saw the iron pillars standing like mountain peaks, as well as dozens of armored guards on the shore surrounded by the flying boat.

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.

These guards are all practitioners. The fourth prince took so many guards with him even when he was escaping, so he didn't look like someone who had no interest in power.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Dao explained: "Recently, there have been many mysterious rumors outside the city of God, and demons suspected to be from the Demon God Sect have appeared. After all, the fourth prince is a member of the royal family. When traveling, the palace has assigned some guards to accompany him to protect his safety."

This makes sense, but...
Why did Jiang Li feel that this picture made Dao Yi and the fourth prince look more familiar to each other?Logically speaking, shouldn't Meng Xiuwu be the one to explain?
Just as Zhang Dao finished speaking, a blue shadow passed by.I saw a gentle middle-aged man with a white face and no beard quietly appear on the shore. He waved his hand gently, and the gathered guards immediately dispersed.

He should be a eunuch, or to put it in simpler terms - a eunuch.

Then, the eunuch clasped his hands and lowered his eyebrows as he said: "Daozhang Zhang, Mr. Meng, and Mr. Jiang Li, please come and see me."

When he talked about the three people, he ranked Zhang Daoyi first, which invisibly expressed the status of the three people in his heart, or in the heart of his master.

Moreover, to be able to name Jiang Li directly, it was obvious that Zhang Daoyi and the two had told the fourth prince their purpose before leaving.

Jiang Li felt that his previous guess was wrong, or that Zhang Daoyi and the others were hiding something.Not only did Meng Xiuwu have friendship with the fourth prince, but Zhang Daoyi also had friendship.

Moreover, the friendship between Zhang Daoyi and the fourth prince is deeper than that between Meng Xiuwu.

In this case, it is no wonder that the fourth prince has no intention of having power.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, a prince who had friendship with the Sanqing sect would undoubtedly have no chance of ascending the throne, and would even be restricted from being granted a title in the future.

Even if he becomes a prince in the future, he will not be able to hold real power like King Lu. Instead, he will be excluded from the center of power and become a marginal figure.

When Zhang Daoyi and Meng Xiuwu heard the eunuch's words, they looked to the right.There is a wooden corridor that leads to a fishing platform facing the lake. A bright yellow figure is looking this way.

Jiang Li followed the gazes of the two men and easily caught a handsome face with his outstanding eyesight.

The fourth prince's name is Ji Chengyuan. He looks to be in his thirties. He has the same two-stroke beard as Lu Xiaofeng. His facial features are regular and he is easy-going and elegant.

Seeing Jiang Li looking this way, the fourth prince nodded in greeting.

Then, Jiang Li looked at the middle-aged eunuch again and said, "Please tell the Fourth Prince that your Highness's kindness has been extended to you. Jiang Li has accepted it. However, Jiang Li has important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient for him to meet with His Highness."

Regardless of whether he has no intention of gaining power or keeps a low profile, Jiang Li is too lazy to get involved in this matter between the princes.

In particular, the fourth prince had a friendship with Zhang Daoyi. Even if he really had no intention of competing for the throne of emperor, he was still a trouble in himself. Even if he had even the slightest contamination, it would be of no benefit to Jiang Li.

"Young Master Jiang."

The middle-aged eunuch's voice was slightly lowered, with a hint of sternness in his femininity, "The current Jiang family is not qualified to refuse the prince. Please think more carefully."

As he spoke, a faint air of Qi emerged, like a needle hidden in cotton. It looked soft, but was actually sharp.

A phoenix on the ground is not as good as a chicken. Maybe in other places, the Jiang family can still have some say, but in the capital of the gods, the Jiang family has no place to stand, but there is absolutely no room for it in Yongzhou.

In the capital of the gods, no one would stand up for Jiang's suffering, and Jiang had no friends in the court.

Even if there is, I would never dare to expose it.

Fortunately, Jiang Li had already considered this.

"is it?"

He said calmly and took something out of his sleeve.

An invisible aura spread, and when the middle-aged eunuch saw what Jiang Li was holding, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

But he still asked in disbelief, "How could you possibly have the power seal?! How could you possibly use the power seal?"

At this moment, Jiang Li held a white jade seal in his hand. His true energy was stimulated, and the invisible aura revealed the nobility of the seal.

Almost as soon as the middle-aged eunuch sensed this aura, he saluted subconsciously, not daring to make the slightest mistake in etiquette.The class structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty may not be obvious in terms of sectarian circles, but in the court, the hierarchy is insurmountable.No matter how unbelieving the middle-aged eunuch is, he may salute the first moment he sees the seal of power.

No matter who this power seal belongs to, even if it is a prince or princess who is not in power, officials must not be rude, otherwise it will be an overstep.

"This is not something you can ask," Jiang Li held the power seal and said calmly, "Now, am I qualified to refuse?"

I wanted to interact with you normally, but I didn't expect you to move out as a prince, so I won't pretend anymore.

Let me show you the status of the son-in-law of the Gongsun family.

What Jiang Li held in his hand was the power seal belonging to Gongsun Qingyue.Due to certain operations in the past, Jiang Li was also able to activate the power seal, so before leaving, the senior sister specially sent someone to transfer the power seal to Jiang Li so that Jiang Li could act more conveniently in the divine capital.

"You and Qingyue have both reached the stage of dual cultivation of Qi." The hosta was shining with faint light, and Tianxuan's voice rang in his ears.

With a bit of nostalgia and gratification.

It seems that the eldest disciple is not really useless. At least this step can be regarded as announcing that Jiang Li has a master.

Even though Kunxu Immortal Palace still wants to steal the Gongsun family’s son-in-law, there’s no way!
Jiang Li took the power seal and floated up from the flying boat, like a floating cloud, and landed on the shore.

The approaching distance made the breath become clearer and clearer. Feeling the pressure, the middle-aged eunuch's body retreated unconsciously.

Although he did not tolerate the earthly Daoguo like local officials and was suppressed by the seal of power, mentally, he was completely domesticated and became a slave of the Ji family.Not only him, but also the other guards around him.

As the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Divine Capital is the area under the emperor's control that he has the strongest control over. Especially since these eunuchs and guards are still considered servants of the emperor, so it is naturally impossible for them to be disloyal.

The spiritual surrender made the middle-aged eunuch dare not do anything to stop him. Even if he wanted to inquire about the origin of the power seal, when Jiang Li came closer with the power seal in his hand, he still stood quietly and let Jiang Li Walk straight past and head towards the Iron Pillar View.

Walking through the corridor, Zhang Daoyi and Meng Xiuwu saw the fourth prince who shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that this rising star of the Dinghu Sect doesn't want to have anything to do with me."

The fourth prince did not use any title to show his status. He simply called him No. 1 and said: "It seems that I have no chance to talk to him this time. It is obvious that Fellow Daoist Zhang highly respects him."

Not only did he not call him a loner, he even treated Zhang Daoyi as a Taoist friend. The fourth prince's Taoist heart was expressed through his words and deeds.

Perhaps, it was because of this that Zhang Daoyi established friendship with him.

"Fellow Taoist Jiang's understanding of the unity of nature and man is extraordinary and unimaginable. Even today's poor Taoist dare not say that he can surpass him in Taoism." Zhang Daoyi said humbly.

"Seriously?" Meng Xiuwu asked curiously, "Daozhang Zhang's Nine Heavens Demonic Art is now very famous. Even the strong men of the fourth and even third grades covet it. Meng thinks that maybe in terms of strength, the outcome is unknown, but In terms of realm, Taoist Zhang is definitely above Jiang Li."

"I don't dare. The only thing I have confidence in is the state of mind of harmony between man and nature." Zhang Daoyi remained humble.

He couldn't understand Jiang Li's weird unity of heaven and man, so he said that he might not be able to see the scenery that Jiang Li could see. Based on this alone, Zhang Daoyi didn't dare to say that his realm was higher than Jiang Li's.

However, when it comes to the state of mind... For people like Zhang Daoyi, who are united with heaven and earth, state of mind is what they are best at.

"Just right," the fourth prince said, stroking his palms, "the promotion ceremony of Chunyang Master's Taoist Fruit is closely related to his state of mind, and Daoyou Zhang has already taken a three-thirds advantage."

"That's right, Meng would like to congratulate Daoist Zhang for your success." Meng Xiuwu smiled and congratulated.

His face was full of sincerity, and he seemed to be really happy for Zhang Daoyi.

Just when he looked back, Meng Xiuwu showed some concern inadvertently.

At the same time, Jiang Li was walking on the broad marble road, thinking deeply in his heart, "Zhang Daoyi is not a random person. Since he said that he has the advantage, he must have some confidence."In his opinion, what makes him better than me should be the special skills of the Jiutian Demon Slayer, some of the methods possessed by Daojun's disciples, and... his state of mind. '

From Jiang Li's point of view, Zhang Daoyi doesn't look like someone who would rely on external forces. Moreover, he has external forces, and Jiang Li also has external forces. The most likely possibility is that the Nine Heavens' True Demonic Technique and his state of mind are the most likely factors.

While thinking about it, Jiang Li could already see the gate of Tiezhu Temple. At this moment, a vague feeling came over his heart.

It was like an illusion but not an illusion, hazy, the surrounding scene seemed to have changed, and Jiang Li vaguely heard some familiar voices.

Something emerged from the depths of memory, and a white mist-like scene spread all around, evolving into a strange and bizarre scene.

　I haven't exercised much in the past few days, and I seem to be a little constipated. Then tonight, I had a hard time with the big size, so that...hemorrhoids bleed.

　　Alas, I am not even thirty, why do I have such a problem? Aspiring young people cannot afford it.
