Desperate Night

Mid-November.

Late autumn.

Zihe Palace.

The broad and shimmering Ziying Lake was slowly coated with a brilliant golden red in the sun.

In the center of the lake, a wooden bridge runs through it.

The bridge is narrow, and the bridge deck is paved with black and white stones.

In the middle, a one-meter-diameter Tai Chi diagram is inlaid on the ground.

At this time, in the Tai Chi diagram, a long-haired woman in a purple skirt was sitting on a small wooden stool with an umbrella, staring at the buoy on the lake intently.

She held a brown bamboo fishing rod in her hand, and her beautiful and delicate face was full of calmness and expectation.

Suddenly, her expression moved and she looked to the side not far away.

A handsome man in a purple Taoist robe was walking slowly towards here along the wooden bridge.

The man had an upright posture, a square face, broad shoulders and a broad body, black hair hanging down like a waterfall behind him, and a tuft of black mustache on his lips.

"You came back early today?" The woman retracted her gaze and continued to stare at her float.

"You are fishing for my purple carp again." The man showed helplessness, walked to her side and stood still.

"You didn't say no." The woman raised her eyebrows.

"Alas," the man was helpless, closed his eyes, and rubbed one temple.

Suddenly, he felt a faint fragrance approaching, and then there was a cold finger gently rubbing the other temple.

He reached out and held that hand.

"You are so cold, and you are still sitting in the middle of the lake. Be careful not to catch a cold."

"I am your senior sister, do I still need your care?" The hand was forcibly pulled out and held his hand in return.

"Junior brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you haven't trimmed your beard. You look a lot more mature, don't you?"

The man opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful face close at hand, and couldn't help but reach out to hold her waist.

The woman didn't struggle, just rolled her eyes at him, put down the umbrella and threw it aside.

"You have to compensate me if you get tanned."

"I'll put sunscreen on you." The man smiled.

"You're still thinking about taking advantage." The woman said, but her body gently leaned against the man's arms.

"Ku Chan, I've been thinking about a question these days."

"What?"

"Do you think we should have two or three children in the future?"

". You can make the decision on this matter."

"Such a big thing must be discussed by both of us. I asked my parents, and they hope to have more children so that the family will be prosperous."

"Then have more children, but will too many affect your body?"

"Then have one first and see the effect? ​​If the effect is good, have as many children as possible. I like the hustle and bustle." The woman thought, "My dream when I was a child was to have a national theater, where everyone would play my favorite songs together, sing the national anthem together, and sing the motherland together. That scene must be very shocking."

". Your hobby" Ku Chan's mouth twitched, unable to imagine the scene.

"A national theater can seat tens of thousands of people. It seems that I will never be able to complete this dream in this lifetime." The woman said helplessly.

Ku Chan smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to lift the woman's delicate white chin, and the two looked into each other's eyes.

"Or, let's talk about it alone?"

"Here? Wait! Ku Chan, you!" The woman's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

"Spiritual method." Ku Chan smiled slightly.

"The Milky Way turns upside down."

Swish!

In an instant, with his body as the center, a circle of majestic and terrifying spiritual pressure spread and shook.

With the two people as the center, a large area of ​​lake water around them was pulled into the air by an invisible force, forming a huge sphere around the two people.

The sphere completely wrapped the two people, and a faint purple light lit up on the surface, covering everything.

The sound of rushing water completely covered up the subtle noise inside.

In the distance, the towering purple-red Taoist palace.

A woman in a white skirt looked over here and shook her head helplessly.

"Jinzhi is making trouble again."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, he and Ying'er have been engaged for a long time. They will get married next year and it will be just in time for them to have children. They have to respond to the call of the country when they are old. They can't marry and have children late."

Yuqin, the master of Zihe Palace, was taking care of her beloved zither.

The zither made of jade and phoenix wood was placed horizontally in front of her. Even under the morning sun, it was shining with a cool light blue tone.

"Speaking of which, Jinzhi has been working hard during this period. It's just right to give them a holiday and have a good rest." Yuqin said softly.

"There are a lot of things in the palace now. Can it be done?" The woman in the white dress was surprised.

"I'm here, no problem. It's such a big Zihe Palace, you can't let Jinzhi do everything. There are so many disciples and elders, not all of them are here to eat." Yuqin smiled.

"You decide." The woman nodded.

"Speaking of which, Jin Zhi's Taoism has already reached the highest realm. If he takes one more step forward, he can only break through the shackles of the sect like the old Tianshi and walk out his own unique Tao. I don't know how long it will take him to take this step." Yuqin sighed.

"He is less than 30 years old, still very young, no rush." ​​The woman comforted.

"Yes, at this age, there is really no need to rush. The old Tianshi and others also found their direction when they were in their 50s and 60s. In comparison, my son is much better than them." Yuqin said with a little pride.

"By the way, Feixiajian went to Taizhou and came back injured. It seems that the situation in Taizhou is more serious." The woman reminded.

"Junior Brother Yucheng has already checked it out. It was Qinghuang of the Seven Evils Alliance who concealed Feixia's perception and then used a sniper rifle to kill her from a distance. He almost got caught." Yuqin's face was restrained and he said in a low voice.

"The Seven Evils are still haunting us. Poor little Feixia, she is in such great danger." The woman was also dissatisfied.

"We will compensate Feixia well. Qinghuang, it seems that she is one of the so-called dark heavenly masters they set up? You are so arrogant. You named the so-called masters under the leader and the Seven Evils as heavenly masters. This is humiliating the two great heavenly masters of my Dao lineage." Yuqin nodded.

"Okay, don't worry about these trivial matters. With two great heavenly masters, it won't be your turn even if the sky falls. Let's think about how to distribute the grandson when he comes out, who will take care of him, let's make it clear first, I want to sleep with my grandson at night!" The woman changed the subject.

"Haha. Do you think I'm stupid? Children are the cutest at this stage! No!" Yuqin refused decisively.

"Make a condition."

"No condition!"

"Then I will invite Bai Yu to the palace to exchange ideas?"

"Bai Yu. Is this true?" The figure of Bai Yueguang flashed in the mind of Zihe Palace Master, and he hesitated.

"Okay, you and I have been married for so many years, but you still can't forget that Bai Yu!!" The woman in the white dress stood up angrily and rushed towards him.

"Wait, I just suddenly remembered what to eat for dinner tonight? It's white fish tofu soup, right!?"

Yuqin quickly got up and ran.

"You still want to eat Bai Yu tofu! You shameless! How old are you? Watching beautiful women videos on your phone every day! Aren't you ashamed!!"

On the top platform of Zihe Palace, the palace master's painful screams kept floating out for a while.

The Taoists passing by below were also doing their own things as if they were used to it. This was also a natural phenomenon that would inevitably occur in Zihe Palace at regular intervals.

Taizhou.

In a separate courtyard of Qingchen Temple.

Yu Hong and a group of old Taoists entered the gate of the separate courtyard one after another, and then the last one closed it with his backhand.

Everyone sat on the wooden chairs that had been placed in the yard.

All the wooden chairs were arranged around a black chair in a huge circle.

On the ground in the middle of the circle, there were densely packed scripture symbols.

At this time, the sun was gradually approaching noon. Because it was autumn, the sun would not be too good even at noon. Only half of the old Taoists were exposed to the light and bathed in the light.

Click.

Yu Hong sat upright on the chair in the middle.

"Everything is ready, Zhengrou. This time we will assist you in taking the elixir and stabilizing the realm of Taoism after the breakthrough. Although it is easy to fall back after the breakthrough with the help of elixir, with the help of our group of old guys, we should be able to greatly extend this time." Yu Mo solemnly instructed Yu Hong.

"Disciple understands." Yu Hong nodded seriously.

"If you understand, adjust your state." Yu Mo waved his hand, and all the old men, including him, raised their hands at the same time to pinch the same seal and recite the true scriptures.

Yu Hong sat upright in the middle, vaguely feeling a stream of not strong but very tenacious spiritual power.

These spiritual powers surrounded him, circling like flying birds.

Time passed by little by little.

About half an hour later, all the old Taoist priests of the Yu generation paused at the same time and stopped chanting.

At this moment.

Chi Chi Chi Chi!!

All the spiritual birds swooped down at Yu Hong.

They rushed into Yu Hong's body one after another.

In just a few minutes, all the birds disappeared completely.

Yu Hong sat alone in his seat and could feel that the spiritual birds that temporarily entered his body were rapidly dissipating.

"Get up quickly! Go to the room and take the pill! You must take it within ten minutes, otherwise it will be invalid! Then go into seclusion immediately. From today on, you will concentrate on seclusion until your Taoism is stable before coming out!" Yu Hen ordered loudly.

"Yes!" Yu Hong immediately got up and rushed into the room.

The door was opened in advance, and Yu Hong sat cross-legged on a cushion on the ground as soon as he entered, and then entered into a state of meditation.

Two minutes later, he adjusted his breath and reached out to take out a small black gourd-shaped bottle from his waist bag.

Opening the bottle stopper, a strong medicinal fragrance rushed out immediately.

Yu Hong immediately poured out a yellowish-brown pill and threw it into his mouth.

Suddenly, a sweet taste of tangerine peel candy entered his mouth and slid down his throat.

This was the purpose of today, to take the pill.

Heart-changing pills were one of the two great foundations of Qingchen Temple. Now two pills were given to him at once, so that he could break through the limit faster.

As soon as the pill went into his stomach, Yu Hong felt a scorching heat wave rising from his stomach at a very fast speed.

The whole body was shaking slightly under this powerful stimulation.

Hiss.

Yu Hong seemed to hear an inexplicable hissing sound in his ears, like a poisonous snake, like something scraping on the ground.

It was piercing and continuous.

In this sound, his mental power at this time was rising rapidly without him noticing.

At this time, the value of the mental power fluctuation on the detector he carried on his body also soared from more than 60 to more than 100.

At the same time, the most dangerous part of Guanwugong also followed.
