So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Daqian Dynasty.

Royal Garden.

In the pavilion, the old emperor in Taoist robes was playing chess with the current imperial advisor. The two held important positions in the Daqian Dynasty. However, recently, the imperial advisor Gu Boxing had become much more haggard and his face was a little pale.

The old emperor who was playing chess with him was radiant. He had recently brought a lot of medicinal materials from the treasury to refine elixirs, which extended his life. He was naturally in a very good state of mind at the moment.

"Since the Qing Emperor's liquidation, the imperial master has been in a state of decline. Although your cauldron has been sealed, at least Fairy Yao Meng spared your life, which is considered a blessing in misfortune, isn't it?" The old emperor twisted one. Chess Piece's tone was calm, but he had a feeling of not being angry and asserting himself.

Gu Boxing shook his head: "It wasn't Fairy Yao Meng who spared my life. She spared Daqian's national destiny and even the will of the people."

As early as when he became the Imperial Advisor of Daqian, Gu Boxing was bound to the Daqian Dynasty in a sense. Although he could not use this huge national destiny, he could be bound to it. If Gu Boxing died, The national destiny of the Daqian Dynasty may collapse.

Dongzhou's luck is actually related to this dynasty.

"So, Fairy Yao Meng does care about all living beings? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Aiqing now." The old emperor picked up a few white stones in the chess game.

Gu Boxing's expression froze for a moment, as if he was recalling what happened after Fairy Yao Meng personally 'visited' the dynasty a few months ago.

After a while, he regained his previous calmness and said quietly: "Over the years, I have planned immortality for Your Majesty. I have sent people to the World Sea several times to investigate the secret treasures left by the original witch, but I never expected that I would end up doing something for others. Wedding dress.”

The old emperor frowned, stared at the chessboard, and pondered for a long time: "You mean, the original witch's spiritual consciousness may have informed Mu Zhian of the location of the secret treasure she left in the past?"

"The spiritual consciousness of the original witch in the World Sea has a lot to do with Mu Zhian. It wouldn't be surprising even to tell him the location of the secret treasure... Now that things have come to this, if your Majesty wants to live forever, I'm afraid you have to find another way." Gu Boxing sighed lightly. A sound.

"It's just a pity that my cauldron was sealed by the Pure World Green Lotus. Now I am no different from an ordinary person. I'm afraid I won't be able to help His Majesty in the future."

When the old emperor heard this, he couldn't help pinching his eyebrows and said, "Is there a way to break the seal of the Pure World Green Lotus?"

"Even the first-generation Demon Emperor found it difficult to resist the Purifying Green Lotus, let alone me."

Gu Boxing shook his head slowly and paused: "Unless..."

"Unless what?" the old emperor immediately asked.

"There is a Buddhist method in Xiaoleiyin Temple in the Western Regions, which can refine the will power of all living beings and even the destiny of the entire dynasty for one person. Over the past thousand years, there have been many conflicts between the Western Regions and the Demon Realm, but even as powerful as the Demon Realm, they cannot defeat the Western Regions. Get the slightest benefit.”

Gu Boxing showed a faint smile: "A large part of the reason is because this Buddhist method can refine the will power of all living beings, and even the luck of the entire dynasty."

"Some time ago, someone from Xiaoleiyin Temple in the Western Regions passed on this Buddhist teaching to me."

Hearing this, the old emperor frowned slightly: "But if Qing Emperor notices that you want to refine the will power of all living beings, I'm afraid..."

In the past, Gu Boxing only had the blessing of the will of all sentient beings, but the arrival of the Qing Emperor a few months ago caused an uproar in the entire Daqian Dynasty. Rumors about Gu Boxing were spread in various places in Dongzhou, which also made the common people in the world of mortals hate Gu Boxing. Strong suspicion arose.

The doubts of ordinary people in the mortal world will naturally affect the will of all sentient beings who support Gu Boxing.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Qing Emperor does love her Taoist lover very much, but don't forget that her relationship with the Queen of the Demon Realm is not much better. Although she has not done anything to other states after she ascended, it does not mean that other great states have Will you tolerate her taking action against the Daqian Dynasty?"

You must know that the Qing Emperor is already powerful after becoming an ascension. If she takes action against the Daqian Dynasty, people will inevitably think that she also wants to take away the will of all living beings and the destiny of Daqian... No other powerful person can make her do this even if they risk their lives. Do.

"What's more, we are not targeting Mu Zhian this time, we just want to use the Buddhist method to refine the will power of all living beings and part of the national destiny..."

The old emperor said expressionlessly: "If the destiny of a country is lost, it will affect not only the common people, but even Dongzhou..."

Although he has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism over the years, he still clings to the government situation, which makes him give up most of the country's destiny for the country's master for no reason. Even the emperor on earth is reluctant to do this.

"If I use the luck of the country and the will of all living beings to break through the seal of the Pure World Green Lotus and successfully merge with the Tao, then in the Daqian Dynasty, I will not be affected by the rules of heaven and earth... Your Majesty, this is not only for the entire Daqian Dynasty, but also for Your wish for eternal life.”

Gu Boxing stood up, raised his hands and bowed, saying, "I hope your Majesty will listen to what I have to say."

Seeing that the old emperor was still silent, Gu Boxing spoke again: "Not long ago, a spy came to report that a monk from the Yaochi Holy Land had gone to Tianxuan City."

"But those monks from Yaochi looked confused after leaving Tianxuan City, as if they had forgotten the purpose of going to Tianxuan City."

The old emperor was finally moved.

He realized the meaning of Gu Boxing's words.

The energy behind Mu Zhian is astonishing and terrifying. Not only them, but also the memories of other people investigating his life experience will be inexplicably blocked by heaven.

Such people are their enemies, and there is the Qing Emperor behind them. Isn't this human emperor sitting unsteadily every day?

The old emperor thought for a long time and finally nodded silently.

"What does the Imperial Master want to do?"

"I understand His Majesty's concerns, and it is the same as His Majesty's concerns. I am afraid it will be difficult for us to do this alone."

Gu Boxing said calmly: "A few days ago, the God of Space returned to the Southern Wilderness, and now he has become the only master of the Southern Wilderness. It is rumored that Ye Yu, who rescued her, was killed by Mu Zhian, and there was some friction with the Qing Emperor. I will send someone to contact the God of Space secretly, so your Majesty can rest assured.”

"In addition, I will also secretly send people to the Demon Realm, Western Region, Yunzhou and other places."

Feathering and ascension, this has always been the lingering haze in the mind of the great master of Jiuzhou.

Although in their own territory, if they have the blessing of formations, they can exert the strength of the Feathering Realm, but it is not as good as the real Feathering after all, and who can guarantee that they will never leave their own territory in this life?

If there is an opportunity to weaken the fortune of the Daqian Dynasty, it will actually weaken the fortune of Dongzhou. Those powerful men will definitely be willing to do such a thing.

"The so-called enemy of your enemy is your friend. Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I have sworn that after I reconcile with the way of heaven, I will find a way to extend your Majesty's life and ensure that you become the emperor of the world for a thousand years."

The old emperor twisted the chess piece, looked at it for a while, then dropped the chess piece into the chessboard, and said with a smile: "I am relieved a lot by the words of my beloved."

"Speaking of which, didn't His Majesty summon Princess Yongning today? Why hasn't she come yet?" Gu Boxing suddenly remembered this matter.

"Maybe I forgot the time while reading again. I will send someone to Shoukang Palace again."

The old emperor shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Yongning is not a man, otherwise I would have more free time to practice Taoism with peace of mind."

The prince at that time was incompetent, the eldest son died young, and the third prince was locked up in a secret room. Among his children, the smartest one was undoubtedly Yongning.

Unfortunately, she is a princess.

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that under a plum tree in the distance, a woman turned around quietly, her gorgeous pale golden dress dragging on the ground, and the maid held it up for her respectfully. Left the Royal Garden.

"If what happened today reaches the ears of a third person, I will not be able to save your life."

When leaving the imperial garden, Princess Yongning glanced at the maid beside her and spoke softly.

The maid hurriedly nodded in agreement.

…

Three days later, Sword Palace.

Lin Ling was wandering around outside the Sword Palace. She couldn't help but want to call out the people in the Sword Palace several times, but she finally held back.

Three full days have passed since Lin Ling left Liangyi Peak. At first, she wanted to use the spirit of speech to bring Mu Zhian to her, but she found that the spirit of speech failed.

According to Lin Ling's guess, there should be a powerful person guarding Mu Zhian, so he could not be transferred directly to his side even with the use of words and spirits.

So, she had no choice but to search for people all over Dongzhou. She visited Yaochi, the Forbidden Zone, Ye Clan's Starry Sky Road, Tianxuan City and other places, but she didn't see anyone.

At first, Lin Ling didn't think of the Sword Palace. After all, people in the Yaochi Holy Land said that Emperor Qing had not returned for a long time. Lin Ling naturally suspected that Yao Meng had hidden Mu Zhian somewhere.

After all, she sometimes hides some delicious snacks in the storage ring and only takes them out to eat when she is particularly hungry.

Tibetan people and Tibetan dim sum are the same.

However, she had searched in several places in Dongzhou, but in the end she couldn't find anyone. She also thought that she might be suffering from karma like herself in the past, so she had an idea and thought of this place. The Heavenly Palace is suspended near Xuanyin Hall.

However, if you go in to look for someone like this, if you can't find someone, when Gong Lianyue learns that Mu Zhian is missing, she will definitely look for someone with her.

Then, what happens after you find it?

If Gong Lianyue asked her why she took Mu Zhian away, how would she answer?

Is it possible to tell Gong Lianyue that the sect master is suffering from the fire of karma and needs your Taoist companion to help her practice and suppress the fire of karma...?

Why do you say that Bai Ruoxi is also Mu Zhian's official Taoist companion? It is inappropriate to say so...

Lin Ling hesitated for a moment, thinking of her close friend who might still be suffering from the karma fire in Liangyi Peak, she finally stopped hesitating and opened her mouth slightly.

"Aaaaaa——"

…

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, his pupils slightly out of focus, and he looked at the ceiling blankly, like a salted fish that had been drained of his aura.

He reluctantly stood up, got out of bed, held on to the wall, and walked slowly toward the basement door with empty steps.

At this time, a light fragrance was smelled nearby, and Wei Mengrou stepped forward to help the young master go up the stairs.

Mu Zhian glanced at her silently and said, "Sister Mengrou, I am very disappointed in you."

Three days.

Three whole days!

As a maid who is supposed to protect the young master, she did nothing during the past three days and just meditated outside the Sword Palace? !

Did you promise to protect the young master's safety? !

There is no trust between people anymore.

Wei Mengrou seemed to know the meaning of what Mu Zhian said. She glanced at the young master sideways and sneered: "If I save you, I'm afraid I'll let you down, right? I'm afraid you're eager to be intimate with them, why should I come to save you?"

Her tone was extremely cold, and the look she glanced at the young man was filled with resentment.

If she hadn't seen him looking so weak now, she might have just thrown him into the basement again, leaving the young master to fend for himself.

"How do you feel these days?" Wei Mengrou continued to mock.

Mu Zhian's eyes were as clear as water, he clasped his hands together and said, "Emptiness is form, and form is emptiness. The so-called woman, the so-called dual cultivation, is nothing more than that."

"What about other than that? Don't have any other ideas?" Wei Mengrou sneered.

If it had been in the past, Mu Zhian would probably have said something like 'very moist' at this moment. However, looking at his appearance now, it was obvious that he had temporarily lost his worldly desires and turned into dried salted fish.

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and said: "If possible, Sister Mengrou, why don't you go back and help me prepare some wolfberry, oysters, duck eggs, leeks, etc., and by the way, go to the auction house to buy some essence-returning elixirs and body-strengthening elixirs..."

Wei Mengrou gave the young master a strange look. Although she wanted to slander him again, seeing the young master's 'tired' look, her eyes flashed with unbearable sadness and she silently helped the young master out of the basement.

She has not been near the basement of Sword Palace in the past three days, and there are female elders of Sword Palace guarding the basement outside, so she cannot easily set foot there.

Besides, she knew that neither Fairy Yao Meng nor Bai Ruoxi would really do anything too extreme... I guess the problem shouldn't be big.

But now it seems that although the young master is fine, in a sense, there seems to be something mentally wrong.

"What happened to you these days?" Wei Mengrou finally couldn't help asking.

"They went too far this time." The maid said silently again, verbally criticizing Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi.

It indirectly highlights the meaning of "Only I feel sorry for the young master".

Mu Zhian shook his head gently, looked up at the sunlight falling from the door, and said, "Actually, they didn't do anything if they had to say it..."

"Then why did you..." Wei Mengrou hesitated.

Mu Zhian sighed softly: "They just used some props and inhuman means. When they tried to make the spiritual energy erupt several times, they then used the principle of time to flow the spiritual energy back to a few seconds ago, and so on. The ground circulates..."

There was doubt in Wei Mengrou's eyebrows, and she hesitated: "Then why do you look so tired now...?"

Mu Zhian looked at her silently: "Because the spiritual energy has not erupted yet."

Wei Mengrou was stunned.

After a while, she turned her face away silently, her shoulders trembled, and she covered her mouth, seemingly suppressing a gloating chuckle.

Mu Zhian looked at the maid in silence. Suddenly, he seemed to see an innocent girl, not the cold maid who always had a cold face.

"Sister Mengrou, aren't you going to help your young master?"

Mu Zhian grabbed her little hand and pulled her to sit down by the basement steps.

Wei Mengrou's pretty face turned red when her hand was suddenly grabbed. She resisted a little, then lowered her head silently, acquiescing to the young master's action.

After a while, she felt a warm palm gradually move up along her waist. Her heart skipped a beat, and she woke up from her previous daze and said: "Palace Master, I have to leave temporarily because there is something going on in the Sword Palace today. Don't you be afraid of being caught?" Did anyone see it?”

Mu Zhian stared at her and said softly: "Even if others see it, as long as I can hold your hand like this, I will die without regrets."

Wei Mengrou lowered her eyes, the coldness between her brows and eyes gradually softened, showing a shy posture.

Time passed silently, and Mu Zhian seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, where did Yao Meng go?"

"There are several murals left in the Sword Palace from the past, all of which depict the body of doom ruining the dynasty. She went to see the murals today." Wei Mengrou explained.

Although he said this, Mu Zhi'an knew in his heart that it was clearly the Qing Emperor sister who couldn't bear to do too much to him, so she just gave him some time to 'rest'.

Mu Zhian thought of this and was about to continue talking. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sweet and sweet song in his ears.

Mu Zhian reacted almost immediately and subconsciously said to himself: "Ling'er?"

He glanced at Wei Mengrou, who should be said to be the woman who knew Mu Zhian best. She understood immediately, put a hand on his shoulder, and turned into a rainbow towards the outside of the Sword Palace.

After a while, Mu Zhian saw the naturally dazed Miss Linglong outside the Sword Palace.

She is as elegant, cute, and beautiful as ever. If you ignore her pair of ruby-like red star eyes without any impurities, you will probably be in awe of this spirit dragon lady involuntarily.

After all, the special aura brought by the blessing of thousands of luck is too amazing.

"Ling'er? How did you know I was here?" Mu Zhian said in surprise.

As soon as Lin Ling saw Mu Zhian, he immediately floated to the square of Jian Palace, and then handed him the small book in his hand to read.

"You've been looking for me for a long time... Also, the sect master needs my help?"

When Mu Zhian saw the contents in the notebook, he couldn't help but be startled and asked, "What can I do for you?"

You know, the sect leader's sister is a powerful person in the Hedao realm... and everything has been deduced in advance. Is there anything he can do to help the sect leader's sister?

"You didn't come to me because you were hungry and wanted some snacks, right?" Mu Zhian asked suspiciously.

"Aaa..." Lin Ling pecked his head like a chicken.

She was indeed a little hungry.

Then, she quickly reacted and frowned slightly, feeling unhappy.

She held up the small notebook: "I'm not kidding you, come with me back to Liangyi Peak."

"So what exactly are you going to do when you take me back to Liangyi Peak...?" Mu Zhian couldn't help but ask.

He was considering whether to tell Yao Mengruoxi and the others. If he left so suddenly... maybe he would have to play the game of Inch again...

However, the next moment, as Lin Ling continued to write in the notebook, Mu Zhian's eyes became more surprised.

"Suppress the Karma Fire...? Are you talking about the Karma Fire of the Sect Master's Sister?"

Mu Zhian had many questions in his mind.

With a big shark like the Sect Master's Sister... how could she not predict when the Karma Fire would burn her body and she still need my help?

Although I don't mind...

But now the question is, where did her Karma Fire come from?

She has never left Liangyi Peak, which means that this Karma Fire should be caused by something related to her in the outside world.

Has anything happened recently that would even affect her Karma Fire...?

Mu Zhian pondered for a long time, and finally gathered his thoughts a little, nodded slightly:

"Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
