I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 415: Lihuo Tower Master, Peacock's Commission

Wind and Cloud Plane·Gyeonggi Province·Seoul Prefecture
Two hundred years ago, Lee Seong-gye established the Joseon Dynasty and subsequently moved the capital to Seoul.

From then on, Seoul remained the capital of Goryeo.

Because the Japanese front advanced too quickly, the fate of this capital was much better than that of Pyongyang, which is regrettable.

Although the people of Goryeo did not understand the inside story of the great catastrophe, they knew that the Lee royal family had been purged by Japan, and the Japanese army was defeated by the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing this, several families that still retained a little strength wrote letters to the emperor, requesting that the Ming Dynasty follow the example of Emperor Gaozong of Tang who conquered Goguryeo and let all eight provinces of Goryeo return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Houzhao discussed with Emperor Wenlong, he generously distributed this land to the Tianxiahui, which had made great contributions.

So, after receiving the imperial edict, Duan Lang found himself suddenly becoming the underground emperor of Goryeo, the godfather among godfathers...

Of course, considering Duan Shuai’s factor, Duan Lang is actually still a member of the imperial court, which is completely different from Xiong Ba.

While all the forces were shocked, they gradually accepted this arrangement and began to show goodwill towards Duan Lang.

After the Tianxiahui moved away from Tianshan, the Central Plains martial arts world suddenly became full of vitality without the huge mountain pressing down on them.

After weighing the pros and cons, Duan Lang also wholeheartedly cooperated with the court and focused on developing overseas communities...

Everyone's capacity is different.

No matter how ambitious Duan Lang is, he can never compare with great rulers like Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Duan Lang was already very satisfied with getting such a large territory.

If the territory were any bigger, it would exceed his ability limit and might even cause trouble...

***
At this moment, hearing that Lin Xuan was coming, Zhu Houzhao and his party hurried to the headquarters of Tianxiahui, which was converted from the Goryeo Royal Palace.

"According to what Emperor Xuanyuan said at the time, after this great catastrophe, the way of heaven in this world was slowly infiltrated by the way of humanity, and such extreme things should not happen again."

Zhu Houzhao handed Lin Xuan a pot of liquor and said happily: "The luck in the dragon vein will also be directly returned to the mountains and rivers, and will prosper China."

A few meters away, Duan Lang, Wen Chouchou, Ni Buddha, Wei Zhongxian and others followed behind the two men with respectful looks.

In the garden not far away, Huang Rong was chattering non-stop with Lao Zhang.

Beside the garden pond, the goddess Ba lowered her fishing rod and dozed off on a rock, looking lazy.

The sun is shining and the years are peaceful!
"Man can conquer nature, and the result is pretty good."

Lin Xuan took a sip of wine: "It hasn't been easy for you over the past hundred years."

"If your efforts are rewarded, then nothing is difficult."

"The most satisfying thing is to survive the great catastrophe safely, and then the moment when heaven and earth are on your side."

Zhu Houzhao grinned and said, "You didn't see it at that time, but the scene of vigorous vitality and the flourishing of all things is still before our eyes."

"See you, sir."

"Ah? What did you say, Mr. Lin?"

"nothing……"

Lin Xuan sighed: "Although these two idioms are quite good, please don't say them together in the future. It's not auspicious."

"Is there such a saying?"

"The karma of fate is quite powerful. Your Majesty should be more careful and not always act like the old general on the stage."

"You are a deity, so what you say must make sense."

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Okay! I will learn from you."

"..."

The Clay Buddha and Wei Zhongxian looked at each other with a thoughtful expression.

"…Have Shennong and His Majesty the Yellow Emperor returned?"

"Well, Huangdi said that the great catastrophe of the millennium has been passed smoothly. Since God will not destroy us, the human race in this world will prosper."

"Then he said he had other important matters to attend to and would probably not come again."

Zhu Houzhao sighed: "Emperor Yan also took Chiyou away, saying that they felt the most sorry for the Jiuli lineage, and now they have to find ways to make amends."

"Fate brings about fate, and there may be a chance to meet again. Don't take it too seriously."

"Well, two months later, Wenlong and his men returned to the capital one after another. I couldn't get used to the food here, and I wanted to go back several times."

"But Master Zhang said you guys are coming soon. I realized I didn't thank you, but I was embarrassed to leave first, so I had to grit my teeth and wait."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Now that I see you again, I can go back to my hometown and enjoy the good life with peace of mind."

"When your majesty returns, please do me a favor."

"Hmm? What's the favor? Just tell me as much as you can."

"I have obtained a magical weapon this time. I need to build eight wonder towers in total to attract the stars in the sky and gather the luck of humanity to compete with the leader Buddha."

"The eight wonder sub-towers are located in eight planes, including this world."

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and took out the corresponding metal box: "Time is quite tight this time, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to take care of this tower."

"Just building a tower... huh? This tower is something special..."

Zhu Houzhao took the tower map and looked at it for a few seconds, frowning slightly: "Wen Chouchou, you designed the No. 1 building in the world, right? Come and see if you can build this tower?"

"This tower is a masterpiece of genius. If Chou Chou were to design it, he would probably not be able to do it even if he spent ten thousand years trying."

Wen Chouchou read it carefully, and a confident look appeared on his face: "But every aspect of this drawing is clearly marked. As long as there are sufficient manpower and material resources, Chouchou will be able to complete it on schedule."

"This is the top priority of my Ming Dynasty. All the troops in the country can be mobilized."

Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said, "I will give you 300,000 troops. Is that enough?"

"Your Majesty, this is just building a tower, not fighting a war. It doesn't have to be so extreme..."

"That's the point!"

"Well, there are only so many construction sites. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, we can't arrange them."

Wen Chouchou's cheeks twitched: "Your Majesty, if you arrange 10,000 skilled craftsmen and workers for Chouchou and give Chouchou another year, the tower construction will be foolproof."

"One year?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Lin Xuan: "Is this fast or slow?"

"more or less."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "This tower gathers the power of humanity, so it should be as solid as possible. If we rush the construction and make it into a shoddy project, it will be more trouble than it's worth."

Huang Yaoshi had looked at the blueprints before and said it would take a year.

Wen Chouchou also estimated that it would take this long. It seems that this guy has some real skills besides flattering.

This changed Lin Xuan's opinion of him a lot.

"What Mr. Lin said is that 'tofu shoddy construction' is also vivid and refreshing."

Wen Chouchou hesitated and asked, "Where is this tower built? Is it in Seoul, where the headquarters of our Tianxiahui is located?"

"Let's build it in Wushuang City..."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "If I build it here, I'm afraid that thousands of years later, the people here will think I'm from Korea, and they will think that the tower was also invented by the Koreans."

According to the stereotypes of later generations, Lin Xuan was still a little cautious about this matter.

Although the impact is not great, it is still quite annoying.

Wushuang City is located in Shu. Nearly two thousand years later, the people of Shu are still worshiping Zhuge Liang. Lin Xuan has a good impression of this.

"Will the Koreans of later generations be so shameless? Then let's do as the True Lord said and build the tower in Wushuang City."

Wen Chouchou wiped his sweat and said, "But according to the diagram, the tower still needs a patrol tower master. Chouchou really can't think of a suitable candidate, so there's nothing I can do."

"Is it that difficult?"

Zhu Houzhao was very dissatisfied: "My Ming Dynasty is full of iron-blooded men and heroes, and we still can't choose a tower master?"

"This..., a man of steel can't do that."

Wen Chouchou looked embarrassed: "The selection of the owner of this tower is extremely demanding. According to the tower diagram, this tower corresponds to the Li position, which represents fire and belongs to Yin. The owner of the tower must be a woman."

"Is this true? Well, this bead is really not bright..."

Zhu Houzhao pinched the Lihuo Pearl and said unhappily, "My Great Ming is not short of women. Master Lin can choose any one you want. Even if he chooses Wenlong's queen, I will ask him to give her up."

"..."

Clay Buddha, Wei Zhongxian and others coughed repeatedly, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

"Why does this sound so strange after Your Majesty said it..."

Lin Xuan was also a little speechless: "I also know that this tower master needs a woman, and I already have a candidate in mind. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much."

"Hmm? Candidates? Didn't the higher-ups say... Holy shit! Such high requirements, they actually want the leader of a country!"

Zhu Houzhao's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will go and discuss with Wenlong and ask him to abdicate immediately and find a girl to be the emperor?"

"Hahaha! Emperor, don't talk nonsense."

Amidst loud laughter, Zhang Sanfeng came to the crowd holding the Thunder Pearl and said, "This is too childish and insincere. If you want to gather people, this is really a bad idea."

Under the stimulation of spiritual power, the Thunder Pearl flashed with an extremely rich purple light, covering an area of ​​one mile in radius.

"This is... huh? Your thunder bead is so bright?"

Zhu Houzhao was somewhat envious: "Hey, Immortal Zhang has a pure yang body and an immortal body. I can never compare to him."

"It's really rare." Huang Rong also breathed a sigh of relief: "I was just worried that after talking for so long, Zhang Laodao still didn't meet the requirements, and then this matter would be troublesome."

"If even the Great Emperor Zhenwu doesn't meet the requirements, then there won't be many candidates in the myriad worlds."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I wonder if Master Zhang is interested in becoming the Master of Thunder Tower?"

"Well, I have heard from Fairy Huang about what happened."

"The Conferred God Killing Tribulation involves all the heavens. Even the previous Zhenwu Emperor was probably affected by it and was destroyed both in body and soul."

“Although I cannot come in person this time, I would be glad if I could help you in some small way.”

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "I heard that Senior Huang, Island Master Huang, Master Sa, Master Chongyang, Master Zhang and others are all here. I would like to take this opportunity to ask them for more advice."

"The Chongyang Master over there is still Little Chongyang, and the others are not as good as you, Old Zhang, but they will definitely be very happy to see you..."

Huang Rong was a little embarrassed: "You are the Great Emperor Zhenwu, which is really too high a match. We owe you a favor."

"The tower is full of spiritual energy, and it is also a good place for an old Taoist to meditate and gain enlightenment. It doesn't matter if it's human or not."

Zhang Sanfeng hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "But if it is convenient for you, Brother Lin, please take me back with you to put my worries to rest."

"Go back? Of course you can."

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly: "Does Master Zhang intend to return to the end of the Yuan Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty?"

It sounds like Zhang Sanfeng plans to visit his relatives before the Conferred God Killing Tribulation to put aside the worries in his heart.

For Lin Xuan, it was just a piece of cake and had no impact on him.

Anyway, we have to go through these two planes, and Zhang Sanfeng's visit to his relatives will not affect the construction of the tower here.

"I just came here from the end of the Ming Dynasty, so I should go back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty to take a look."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "With my current cultivation, I should be able to conceal the truth and make the will of the heaven in that world undetectable."

"Amazing, so amazing..."

Zhu Houzhao was so excited when he heard this, his eyes sparkled, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"At the end of Yuan Dynasty..., the real person still can't let go of Wuji and the others, right?"

"When you get older, you always feel nostalgic."

"Since Master Zhang has this plan, how dare I disobey him?"

Lin Xuan solved a troublesome matter and was very happy: "Goddess of Heaven, please try the Fire Pearl."

"Oh, when I saw this thing of yours, I knew I couldn't escape..."

"No! You are Emperor Donghua. I am not worthy of being called Madam. Just call me Xiaoba."

Tiannu Ba stood up lazily and stretched out her white jade-like hand: "Xiao Zhu, let me try the bead."

"Xiaozhu understands."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then happily came to the side of the goddess Ba and handed over the beads.

Although Tiannv Ba looked like a beautiful girl, Zhu Houzhao really had nothing to say about her age.

The Lihuozhu was in hand, emitting an extremely bright red light, illuminating the sky.

"Well, I am the God of Drought, and the bead is the Fire Bead, so it really goes well with me."

Tiannuba thought about it, and said eagerly: "Okay, give me this job."

"Aren't you afraid of trouble this time?"

"I've said before that if I hang out with you, I have to do something. This tower master is just practicing in the tower and helping your main tower gather the power of humanity."

"I've been through this for thousands of years. It's a bit frustrating, but it's nothing serious."

Tiannu Ba shrugged: "If I don't serve as the tower master, I might be asked to participate in the Conferred God Killing Tribulation, and I might die if I'm not careful."

"The goddess is quite good at weighing the pros and cons..., huh?"

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly, and he looked up into the void: "Is it Fellow Daoist Kong and Xiaobai?"

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Lin."

The high-pitched and loud bird cry resounded through the heavens and the earth. An extremely huge peacock tore through the void and transformed into a young man with a vigorous appearance. "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you have time to listen to me?"

"Brother Lin, this is... Sister Huang?"

The space fluctuated, revealing Ao Xue's tall and beautiful figure.

The Dragon Girl swept her eyes across the crowd, landing on Huang Rong, and spoke softly.

"Oh, Xuannv and Longnv both call me sister, it's such an honor."

Huang Rong giggled and held Ao Xue's hand: "This peacock seems to have something to do with Lin Xuan, let's go down and talk."

"Ah good……"

Ao Xue was stunned for a moment, then shyly followed Huang Rong towards the pavilion.

"Should I avoid it?"

The goddess Ba hesitated and looked at the peacock.

"You and Zhenwu are both family members, so it's okay to listen."

Peacock said calmly: "The two women just now are also involved in various causes and effects. If you want to stay, you can."

"That's it..."

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands and smiled: "Am I considered one of our own?"

"With your level of cultivation, if you get involved, you will be reduced to dust in an instant."

Peacock snorted, "Don't think that I have nothing to do and I am making fun of you."

"Ah, since Senior Kong said so, I naturally believe it."

Zhu Houzhao said unhappily, "Everyone is happy today. Xiaoduan and Chouchou, you guys arrange the banquet. We will get drunk with Master Lin later."

"Wei Chen takes orders."

Duan Lang and others also knew that Zhu Houzhao was not acting properly, so they bowed to Lin Xuan and the others, then quickly left to arrange the banquet.

"This time, the Emperor is going to Confer the Gods to Kill the Tribulation. Please be extra careful."

After Zhu Houzhao and the others left, Kong Que looked at Lin Xuan seriously and said loudly: "I know there is a book called Investiture of the Gods in the world, but the plane of Investiture of the Gods is a hundred times more dangerous than the one in the book."

"Yes, the last time I went to see Lao Zhang, I also asked the Empress for a copy of Investiture of the Gods. What is written in it is not so. Your Majesty, please be careful."

The goddess Ba said in a crisp voice: "I have also experienced the transition from Shang to Zhou, and I have also been to Xiqi once."

"Hmm? Is it the Conferred God Plane?"

"Probably not, but I met Jiang Ziya when he was fishing by the Wei River."

Tian Nuba frowned and said, "He looks like he is only in his twenties, totally different from what is written in the book. But I feel like if I attack him, I will definitely die."

"You or him?"

"I……"

"Is Jiang Ziya so powerful? Which version is this?"

Lin Xuan nodded: "I understand. Thank you for telling me, Fellow Daoist Kong, do you have anything to tell me?"

"I have learned some magical skills before, and I have taught them to your dragon girl. This time I just want to inform the emperor."

The peacock smiled and said, "After today, there will be no more Peacock King in the world. My Lord, you and I will meet again during the Conferred God Killing Tribulation."

"Hmm? What do you mean, Mr. Kong?"

"I am involved in all kinds of Buddhist karma, and I will never be able to attain enlightenment and transcendence."

“Instead of living for thousands of years in vain, why not stop here? With a little bit of true spirit left, I can once again gather the heavens and experience the Conferred God Killing Tribulation again.”

The Peacock King said proudly: "When we meet again, I will be the Demon Saint Kong Xuan."

"Life and death are both insignificant, worthy of being called the Conferred God Killing Tribulation..."

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly: "Then Kong Xuan is Fellow Daoist Kong?"

"Since the true spirit is indestructible, then naturally I am not me."

Peacock said calmly: "Since I can't transcend, there is no point in worrying about this. It's better to leave this opportunity to others."

"Since it is the choice of Fellow Daoist Kong, I have no objection."

Lin Xuan nodded: "When the time comes, I will tell you everything that happened today."

"Hahaha, thank you for helping me vent my anger before. These five tail feathers have the power of origin, so I will give them to you."

"If the Emperor can't use it, you can make it into a magical tool and give it to others."

The Peacock King laughed and sat down cross-legged: "When I see him tomorrow, I will show him this five-colored divine light, and he will naturally believe it."

The golden flames were swirling, and the peacock's figure was like a mirage, quickly shattering and turning into ashes.

Five hazy feathers slowly floated up and into Lin Xuan's hands.

The feathers are divided into five colors: red, green, yellow, white and black, and the light flows as if it contains the infinite Tao.

"..."

Zhang Sanfeng and Tiannv Ba sighed at the same time, bowed to Feather, looking somewhat lonely.
