The Name of Eternity

When Chu Jiuyue returned to the back garden, he saw Emperor Yu sitting in a pavilion and tasting pastries.

Emperor Yu sensed that the people outside had left, and glanced at Chu Jiuyue, who was walking over. This guy was becoming more and more eloquent.

"Xian'er is also here, urging her brothers to come and intercede for the child."

Emperor Yu sighed, "Since Li Junye's death, she has been resentful of my father, but she has made many exceptions for this child."

Chu Jiuyue whispered: "It means that the little princess has grown up. It's no wonder that Your Majesty knows about Li Junye."

Emperor Yu's eyes were slightly lost in thought, and then he smiled softly, seeming to be in a happy mood:

"The child has a promiscuous temperament and has good connections. The Xia family also came to plead for his risk and did not hesitate to offend the Buddhist sect. The other three generals remained calm and did not say a word."

Chu Jiuyue smiled bitterly in his heart. If the other three divine generals' houses also came to plead for mercy, I'm afraid it would be counterproductive.

After all, if the five great generals interceded for one person, whose world would it be?

Not to mention Emperor Yu, any king would be afraid of him.

"It's normal for the Xia family to come here because of the kindness of the child." Chu Jiuyue said in a low voice. If he didn't come, it would appear that he was deliberately avoiding suspicion. Naturally, he was avoiding His Majesty's suspicion, but it was not magnanimous enough.

"The ancestor of the Li family is quite calm. He is worthy of being a veteran who followed the late emperor on the expedition. He knows both emotion and reason, and what is good and bad. I will not touch this child at this juncture."

Emperor Yu tapped his fingers lightly on the table with a smile in his eyes:

"This Lord Buddha is too impatient. He is so impatient that he colludes with demons. He is too determined to fight for orthodoxy and become a saint."

"But in this world, what we talk about is the truth, the truth, the truth, the truth of the Tao, not the truth of the Buddha."

Chu Jiuyue's eyes flickered, and he was not surprised. The collusion between Buddhism and demons was extremely secret, but His Majesty already knew about it, and he also knew about it, so he was not surprised.

After all, there is no paper that can cover the fire, not even the Buddha's light cassock.

"That child can be regarded as solving our serious problem, but unfortunately, his approach is too rough."

"However, roughness also has its advantages. It can be regarded as filling in the pieces for my next move."

Emperor Yu had a chuckle on his lips.

Chu Jiuyue was silent. In front of the court today, he was actually not completely sure that His Majesty would forgive the child.

Although what the child did was beneficial to them, those ministers were not wrong at all. The child's growth rate was too fast, so fast that it was scary!

The threat is approaching and far exceeds that of Lord Buddha.

Although he was one of the closest and most trusted people to Emperor Yu, he could not be said to have a complete insight into the emperor's heart.

After all, when the late emperor died and his disciples seized the throne, His Majesty's ruthlessness was obvious to everyone. He was not a merciful master.

After a brief silence, Chu Jiuyue looked at Emperor Yu and finally asked the doubts in his heart:

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

"explain."

"Why are you so relieved about that child?"

Chu Jiuyue stared slightly.

This was what he still couldn't figure out.

Just played a game of chess by the willow river?

Or do you think that the child is too talented and may become a saint in the future, but may not usurp the imperial power?

But if you want to become a saint, it will be difficult to cross the threshold of incense.

What's more, people's hearts are unpredictable. The stronger the person, the more they like to take the initiative in their own hands, instead of handing it over to the other party, relying only on fragile trust?

After hearing Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu's smile faded slightly and he did not answer. Instead, he looked up at the late-season peach blossoms in front of him. The petals were like leaves falling in the wind, drifting in the wind.

Summer is scorching hot, and spring flowers fade early.

"I want to go play a game of chess."

Emperor Yu said softly.

Chu Jiuyue was slightly startled.

However, Emperor Yu had already stood up and said, "You don't need to follow me. Tomorrow morning, I will tell you that I miss the Lord Buddha and am ill."

Chu Jiuyue's pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly covered it up and whispered: "But Your Majesty, if the Buddhist disciples are unwilling to give in, what about another trouble?"

"When I come back, I will have the answer."

Emperor Yu said.

Then the figure disappeared into the back garden.

Chu Jiuyue looked at the suddenly empty pavilion, with flower petals falling on the still warm stone bench. He was slightly lost in thought as he stared.

…

…

Qiandao Palace.

This Taoist temple standing on the top of Tianmen Mountain is majestic. It was originally a simple and peaceful Taoist temple, but because it was too close to the royal palace, it received too many rewards. The Taoist temple also has a few touches of gold, making it look majestic and solemn.

At this moment, in the depths of the Taoist temple, only a beam of light shone into the pure secret hall.

Emperor Yu, wearing a black dragon robe, appeared quietly and stood behind the Taoist who was sitting on the futon. The Taoist exuded an ancient aura, and the person worshiping in front of him was the Taoist saint's Dharma.

"I plan to take a long trip to see the child."

Emperor Yu whispered.

The Taoist on the futon slowly opened his mouth, and after a while, he softly said, "Have you made your decision?"

Emperor Yu was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's go and see him before we talk."

The Taoist also fell silent for a moment and said: "I am approaching my end of life and have only a few days left. I originally planned to take the Buddha Lord away before my death, but I didn't expect that a child would take care of him first, which saves me the need to wait."

Emperor Yu nodded slightly.

Previously, he had planned to wait for the Immortal Gate to reopen and those people from the Jiang family to return, and then purge them. Lord Buddha had already realized this, so in a bid for time, he secretly cultivated Mara at the expense of his own power eight hundred years ago.

Unfortunately, he did not have timely insight and did not catch the Buddha when he was at his weakest.

"He colluded with the demons and raced against time. He also realized that I had sent a message to the Immortal Sect. My uncles, Lao Shiba and others were trying to find a way to contact the saints and open the Immortal Sect over there. Unfortunately, within one year of the secret realm of the saints, Ten years in the world.”

"Originally, when they returned, it was the funeral of Lord Buddha. The incense collected for my Jiang family will eventually return to my Jiang family, and they will take back the principal and interest together."

"But now, this place has been explored by people from the Immortal Sect. Behind the three desolate gods, it is very likely that there are strong people instigating them. Their actions are not just pure killing."

Emperor Yu's eyes were sharp: "No matter who it is, no one can stop my Jiang family from resurrecting the ancestor. Now that the consummation is imminent, no mistakes can be made."

The Taoist nodded slightly and sighed: "Their foundation for entering the Immortal Sect is too shallow and they are in a difficult situation. I don't know if they can make friends with the Saint. It may take a long time to open the Immortal Sect again."

After hearing this, Emperor Yu also fell into silence.

"If you choose that child, I will support Dayu for another ten years and buy that boy another ten years."

The Taoist's voice was old, and he said: "Before I leave, I will take away all the dust. If you have not chosen, then choose one of Chunsheng and Mingyue Jian to become the next Taoist leader. I will take this Taoist palace. Leave it to them."

The two people he was talking about were the two carefully selected from among his direct disciples.

Emperor Yu glanced at him. That dry and thin body had protected the Emperor Yu's dynasty for more than three thousand years.

He lowered his head slightly and said, "Ten years is enough for that child."

The Taoist was slightly silent. It turned out that the other party had already made his choice.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

Emperor Yu did not answer.

The Taoist sighed and said slowly: "I hope you saw the right person."

"Wait until I come back."

Emperor Yu said softly.

A thousand-year-old darkroom can be illuminated by just one light.

He knows what it takes to light a long lamp.

After saying that, he slightly cupped his hands and then disappeared in a flash.

This beam of light shone in the pure secret hall, and the dust was floating in the light, unable to escape.

…

…

Liangzhou, Tianmen Pass.

After killing the Buddha Lord and returning from Wuliang Mountain, Li Hao took the God of Candlefire, Xiyan, and Feng Lao back to the familiar Tianmen Pass.

Ren Qianqian burst into tears when she learned that Feng Lao's soul was missing. This little girl seemed cold and cold on weekdays, but she was extremely emotional and easy to cry when dealing with people she knew well.

Li Hao comforted Ren Qianqian and started living as usual.

He knew that the old man in the imperial capital must be troubled by his own affairs at this moment.

He is also waiting for a result, which won't take too long.

Even if the result is not so ideal, he will not feel resentful.

After all, the old man had given him too much help.

"Mr. Feng, you haven't had my barbecue for a long time, try it."

In the small courtyard, there was a strong aroma of meat. When Zhuhuo Shen and Xi Yan were having a barbecue with Li Hao, their sense of smell was already heightened and their mouths were so greedy that they were drooling.

Feng Lao sniffed, his sluggish expression softened a little, took the barbecue from Li Hao and started to eat it.

Li Hao smiled and handed him the wine gourd.

The smell of fireworks filled the courtyard.

Two days later, an old man in a black gown arrived alone at the border of Liangzhou.

Looking up, I saw the majestic and towering city walls, as well as the Haotian flags planted on top of the city.

The flag flutters majestically in the wind.

The old man looked up and slowly walked into the city.

After showing the customs clearance document, the journey was smooth, and the interrogating soldiers also saw that the old man was extraordinary, rich or noble, and seemed to have some power.

In the city, there are all kinds of stalls, and young men and young ladies from aristocratic families are wandering around the city. It looks prosperous and prosperous, not at all like the lively scene that a border city should have.

The old man watched the various things in the city as if he was playing. After a while, he walked to the center of the city.

There was a small, independent fenced courtyard with an empty surrounding. No one approached it rashly, and there were soldiers patrolling it.

The old man couldn't help but smile when he heard the music of the piano wafting out from the courtyard. This guy was quite at ease. He killed the Buddha and still had the time to play the piano here. Little did he know that people all over the world were already making trouble for this matter.

He went straight to the small courtyard and was stopped immediately.

"An old friend is visiting."

The old man said.

The guard was not weak, he was in the fifteenth mile realm. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he felt an indescribable sense of intimidation. Although the old man looked calm, his brain seemed to twitch, and he nodded subconsciously, then said I have to turn around and report.

"Invite your distinguished guest to come in."

Li Hao's voice came from the courtyard.

The two watchmen quickly invited the old man in front of them.

In the courtyard, Li Hao's fingers stopped from the strings, and there was a strange look in his eyes, a little surprised.

A wall naturally could not block his perception. Although he did not deliberately explore, he still recognized the old man at a glance.

He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen, and this old man who should be in the imperial capital would actually appear here. It was simply shocking.

If Li Haoru still can't recognize the old man's identity now, then he is too slow.

I was waiting for news, but I never expected to wait until the other party came in person.

Li Hao quickly stood up and went to greet him.

The old man and the young man who had met by chance by the Willow River met each other again in this small fenced courtyard.

Li Hao slightly cupped his hands and was about to salute, but the old man raised his hand and held it up with strength, "You're welcome."

With a few simple words, Li Hao immediately understood and understood that he had not mistaken the identity of the other party.

“Nice environment.”

The old man looked around and saw the girl practicing sword next to him, and the somewhat slow and dementia Feng Boping, as well as the master of the Taixu Realm, the God of Candlefire, sitting beside him.

The small courtyard is quite strange.

The old man laughed dumbly.

Li Hao said in a daze: "Senior, why are you here?"

He did not address his majesty. The other party's behavior was obviously unwilling to expose his identity. Moreover, the states of Dayu were now in danger and demons were lurking. Emperor Yu walked out of the imperial palace and went far away from the customs. This made Li Hao feel complicated.

He had just killed the Buddha Lord, but the other party came to see him in person. This in itself was too much trust in him.

"My hands are itchy and I want to find someone to play chess with."

The old man chuckled. Seeing that there were drawing boards, guqins, and chessboards in the yard, all of which were placed where he usually sat, he couldn't help but feel a little funny and said:

"You play these all day long, don't you practice?"

This is cultivation, I have worked hard... Li Hao said in his heart, but on the surface he just smiled. This kind of thing cannot be explained.

"Moving here must be hard, isn't it? Are your chess skills unfamiliar?"

The old man chuckled and walked around the yard. When he saw the little girl who had stopped practicing her sword and tilted her head to look at him curiously, he smiled at her.

"It's not too hard, and the scenery at the border is the best in the world."

Li Hao chuckled and invited the old man to take a seat in the courtyard.

Then he asked Ren Qianqian to bring some tea.

Ren Qianqian was surprised, not knowing who the old man was, but he obeyed Li Hao's words and quickly brought tea to make tea for the old man.
