Young man, please stay

Chapter 374 Is there a fairy here?

In fact, Qin Lang's brain was buzzing when he heard the first thing.

Shock was secondary, confusion was the main thing.

"Eliminate...Eliminate the crown prince? Wait a minute..."

While Qin Lang was still organizing his thoughts, the Regent let out a long sigh and lay back in Qin Lang's arms, his eyes filled with relief.

"Isn't it said that the Crown Prince was assisted by the Regent at that time? How come..."

"The process is not important, it's the result that matters."

Bai Qingqing asked Qin Lang:
"What was the final outcome for the prince?"

“… He was placed under house arrest in the Yangxin Palace, mad and crazy, stupid and foolish.”

Qin Lang naturally understood Bai Qingqing's meaning as he murmured, and suddenly felt mixed emotions.

It turns out that the prince's fate was caused by the regent who seemed to be supporting him...

Who would believe this if I told others?

Qin Lang did not ask any more questions about the specific details, and there was no need to ask more.

"Then what about seizing the throne?"

Qin Lang asked:
"According to what you said, Qingqing, the late emperor passed the throne to Yupan, and then secretly let you take the throne? What's the purpose of this?"

"do not know."

Bai Qingqing said honestly:

"Anyway, this is what the late emperor meant. I confirmed it several times at the time. I can only say... well... the late emperor had his own ideas."

"..."

The Queen Regent doesn't like to owe favors to anyone, no matter if it's an ordinary person or an emperor, so she is only responsible for repaying the favor, and she won't interfere in other aspects as long as they are not too outrageous.

“Isn’t this outrageous?”

"What's so outrageous about this? It's just a throne. It doesn't matter who sits, Xiao Pan or I."

The Regent waved his hand dismissively:
"Anyway, no matter how much we fight, it's best if no one gets hurt. Although there has always been bloodshed in party struggles since ancient times, I am fighting on orders."

"..."

"Besides, the late emperor also said that we should just do our best. So the bottom line of my best efforts is to make sure that Xiao Panzi's life is not in danger. After all, she is so powerful that it is not my turn to worry. It's just that..."

Bai Qingqing stretched lazily:

"After all these years, if I hadn't gotten this off my chest today, I would have forgotten that I was fighting against Xiao Panzi to repay my gratitude. I've become accustomed to fighting after so many years... Humph, and during this process, Xiao Panzi has become more and more arrogant, as if he is superior to everyone. Naturally, I am becoming more and more dissatisfied with such a person."

"..."

Qin Lang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

As the emperor has been in office for a long time, he has to become more and more superior. An emperor must have the aura, majesty, and posture of an emperor. Unfortunately, the regent did not acquire these things at the same time. He just followed the orders of the party struggle and followed the example of the emperor. He could not compare with the empress.

"It's just that... after the Immortal Disaster, I came back and found that the small plate high up seemed to have changed a little. At that time, I didn't know why, until..."

"Until the day I knocked you off your horse?"

Qin Lang recalled their encounter, but Bai Qingqing denied it:

"No! That time, I just knew your identity, so I simply wanted to snatch you away from Xiao Panzi. It was not until I really liked you later that I understood why Xiao Panzi had changed."

--------------

Get rid of the crown prince and seize the throne.

In Qin Lang's opinion, none of the requests made by the late emperor to Bai Qingqing before his death were normal, and the motives were all very difficult to understand.

If we must talk about it, getting rid of one's only son is not uncommon among royal families in history.

But allowing a person of an outsider to seize the throne from his niece made Qin Lang wonder whether the late emperor was insane before his death.

As for the last thing the late emperor asked Bai Qingqing to do...

"When you say you want to find immortality, do you mean immortality in the literal sense?"

"Ah."

"Is the search for the Dragon Heart Sutra included in this?"

The first time Qin Lang knew that the Regent was looking for the "Dragon Heart Sutra", which was also the remaining fragments of the "Mu Heart Sutra", in Longding Villa was when he saw the "task log" in Juxian Pavilion. It recorded the things that Juxian Pavilion had done to help the Regent, and almost all of them were directly or indirectly related to "dragon hunting".

Although Qin Lang has never had the chance to ask Bai Qingqing about this in person, he can obviously guess the answer now.

Qin Lang had already heard from Qingzhou prefect Zhou Ning that the "Dragon Heart Sutra" could increase one's lifespan.

I didn’t expect that it would involve something as outrageous as “immortality”…

Let's not talk about Qin Lang's attitude towards the concept of immortality. If Senior Sister Mu Xuanli's "Mu Xin Jue" involves the so-called immortality, then Third Senior Sister Zhuo Beibei's "Zhuo Xin Jue" and Junior Senior Sister Su Yupan's "Yu Xin Jue" will also involve something mysterious. "Qingqing, do you believe in immortality in the world?"

"Do not believe."

"What exactly did the late emperor mean by asking you to seek immortality?"

"He didn't say it. At least according to my own understanding, I have been trying to find various prescriptions or techniques to prolong life, hoping to find out some information related to longevity, but..."

But this is too ethereal. Speaking of it, the "Dragon Heart Sutra" which is said to be able to "increase lifespan by a hundred years" is already considered a relatively heaven-defying internal skill, but it is still far from the word "immortality".

But Qin Lang is now thinking about another aspect of the problem:

"Qingqing, what I mean is, do you think the late emperor... wants you to find a way to achieve immortality, or a person who can achieve immortality...?"

"Eh…?"

This was the first time Bai Qingqing heard this angle, and she fell into deep thought after hearing Qin Lang's words.

Seeking longevity.

The method of achieving immortality is one thing, and the person who achieves immortality is another.

The latter is even more mysterious than the former.

Because if the latter exists, it may mean that there are immortals in this world.

……

Are there immortals here?

Qin Lang kept shaking his head in his heart.

This is ridiculous.

so funny.

Or...

Is this really bullshit?

Well...bullshit!

Hiss...are you kidding?
After thinking about it, a question that most people, especially those who practiced martial arts, could answer immediately, gradually began to waver in Qin Lang's mind.

Are there really gods in this world?
What caused Qin Lang's emotions to fluctuate at the moment was actually far more than the conversation with Bai Qingqing, and far more than the late emperor's last words of "seeking immortality".

But at this moment, Qin Lang thought of the bits and pieces related to this in the past.

For example, there was a conversation between him and the empress when he was taken flying in the sky for the first time.

……

"Baby, you are really a fairy..."

"Hush! There are gods above us. I just came down from the sky. Don't be so presumptuous as to claim that I am an immortal or not. It would be bad if a real immortal heard it."

"..."

"Tsk, be serious! This is what our master told us. Qin Lang, you often deceive the emperor, and that's ok, but are you going to laugh at her teachings?"

……

And then there was Linglongzi.

……

"Master, are you thinking that there really is an immortal on your Wuliang Mountain?"

"Wulian Tianzun...there are gods three feet above your head, so don't talk nonsense about immortals, little Taoist friend."

"What? Really?"

"The Three Pure Ones enshrined on Wuliang Mountain are true immortals."

……

And after that, Su Yupan talked to him about Linglongzi's visit to the palace.

……

"According to Linglongzi, this strange phenomenon alarmed the immortals."

"Fairy?"

"The so-called immortals are the Three Pure Ones worshipped in Taoist temples. Anyway, whenever those idiots make a move, they always mention the immortals."

……

Now, when Qin Lang recalled the emperor's words "seek immortality" again, it was hard not to think seriously about a question.

Could it be that there really are immortal gods in this world?
