Chapter 169 Lao Deng [asking for a monthly ticket! ]

Liang Yue had also heard of Senior Sister Wen’s master.

The leader of the Yujian Sect, number 21 on the Tongtian Ranking, one of the four great sword masters in the world, the famous Deng Yunzi.

The four great sword masters were all former disciples of the sword-controlling lineage, Deng Yunzi, Wang Rulin, Lu Renxian, and Jian Wangsun. Among the four, Deng Yunzi was the first disciple, and Wang Rulin had to call him the eldest brother.

Whenever Wang Rulin mentioned this senior brother, his tone was full of fear.

There are not many people who can make him look at them squarely.

Although Deng Yunzi is ranked twenty-first on the Tongtian list, the combat power of sword cultivators has always been far beyond their realm. I am afraid that none of the twenty people above him dare to say that they can definitely defeat him.

It can be said that this person is undoubtedly the top one in the world in terms of cultivation, combat power and status in the martial arts world, and he deserves the title of a righteous great man.

There is such a person standing in front of you, suppressing his anger and looking at you with a look of contempt, who would not be afraid?

Liang Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly bowed respectfully, "Junior Liang Yue, I pay my respects to my uncle."

"Humph." Deng Yunzi snorted unhappily and looked at Wen Yifan again, "Chen Su said that you sneaked out. Why didn't you take a good rest after getting injured, and chose to go out at this time? Did this kid bewitched you?"

"Master!" Wen Yifan frowned and said, "Although I was hit by the Seven Emotions Curse and my cultivation level has dropped, I am not seriously injured and do not need to stay in bed. I felt too bored in the Evil Slaying Division, so I wanted to go out for a walk. Liang Yue was afraid that I would be in danger, so he followed me all the way to protect me. Please stop talking about him all the time."

"His cultivation level is not that high, how can he protect you?" Deng Yunzi turned around and walked into the Zhuxie Yamen. It seemed that he had just sensed his disciple and came here to wait for him.

Wen Yifan and Liang Yue behind him looked at each other, grinned, and had no choice but to follow him.

Soon, three elders gathered in front of the Zhuxie Hall.

Chen Su was in the center, smiling and welcoming the guests. On the right was Deng Yunzi, who had a solemn expression on his face and frowned without saying a word.

On the left was a kind-looking middle-aged woman, about 30 or 40 years old, with fair skin and clear eyes, just like a young person. Wei Ping'er was standing behind her, looking well-behaved.

I think he should be an elder of the Danding School.

As expected, Chen Su introduced: "Xiao Yue, you probably haven't seen these two. This one is Senior Deng Yunzi, the head of the Yu Jian Sect, and the master of Wen Yifan. This one is Senior Xue Baizhi from the Dan Ding Sect, and the master of Wei Ping'er."

Liang Yue bowed again one by one as he introduced them.

He also remembered Xue Baizhi's name, who was ranked 69th on the Tongtian List.

This ranking may not be considered high, after all, she is also the top person among the practitioners in the world. But this senior has something more amazing than her cultivation, that is... she is almost the same age as Master Zhangxuan.

In other words, she is already over a hundred years old, but still looks so young. She can truly be said to have the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance.

Therefore, her lineage has an incredibly high seniority in the Danding Sect. Also for this reason, they often address people in a sequential manner. For example, Wei Ping'er calls her the Ninth Girl, which means she is Xue Baizhi's ninth disciple.

If we talk about it seriously, the current leader of Danding Sect has to call Wei Ping'er "Uncle Master".

As for the other branches of Xuanmen, they were not so strict when discussing with them. They just looked at age, the time of joining the sect, etc., and did not need to be so meticulous about seniority. So Liang Yue called Wei Ping'er "senior sister", and there was nothing wrong with that.

After the salute, Deng Yunzi's face showed his worries, and it was obvious that he had some opinions about Liang Yue, so he just nodded lightly.

Xue Baizhi nodded amiably and said, "I heard that Wang Rulin has accepted a disciple with amazing talent. He looks like a very talented person. It's a pity to be with him."

Now Liang Yue has become accustomed to taking words like "It's a pity to be with Wang Rulin" as a compliment and affirmation to himself, so he just smiled shyly and did not refute.

There is nothing to argue with.

The Master's daily behavior really made the disciple lose face when fighting outside. You can't say that although he is not good in the righteous way, he is well-known in the evil way, right?

I just want to give you one piece of advice: if you get into trouble outside in the future, don't tell others the name of my disciple.

Chen Su said, "I asked Senior Xue to come here this time because I mentioned in the letter that I want to see if we can develop an antidote for the lotus fragrance. I also want you to help Miss Wen see if she can be cured of the Seven Emotions Curse that hit her."

"Let me take a look." Xue Baizhi called Wen Yifan over, put her hand on her pulse, and used her mind to check the situation.

After a moment, she held Wen Yifan's hand and said, "There is indeed no sign of injury on this girl's body now. The Seven Emotions Curse has already dissolved in the Divine Palace, so there is nothing to be solved. If you want to regain your cultivation, I'm afraid you still have to start from your Dao Heart, but..."

She thought for a moment, and then said, "She was born with a supreme immortal body. If she uses medicine to stimulate the power of her immortal body, she might be able to overcome the magic of the Seven Emotions Curse. Give me a few days, and maybe I can give it a try."

Xue Baizhi raised her eyes to look at Wen Yifan, with a hint of heartache in her eyes, as if she knew him well.

When Liang Yue heard that she had a way to cure it, he still felt a little lost in his heart.

I have to say that the current Senior Sister Wen is easier to get along with than the previous one. She is more like a real person, and she seems to be happier too.

"Okay." Chen Su stood up and said, "Then you two will stay in the Evil-Slaying Division for a few days. Master's order has arrived, and I will go to the palace now." Xue Baizhi was invited to refine medicine, and Deng Yunzi came to visit his disciple. Although he seemed stern, it can be seen that he is still very concerned about his disciple Wen Yifan.

After Chen Su left, Deng Yunzi asked in detail about what happened that day.

After Wen Yifan briefly recounted the story, he emphasized, "I was cursed because I wasn't careful enough. It had nothing to do with Liang Yue. During the time after I was cursed, he was the one who tried his best to protect me. Master, please don't blame him anymore."

Deng Yunzi had previously believed that Liang Yue's cultivation was low and that was why he could not help Wen Yifan, or at least he was a burden to him. Now that he had heard the details and realized that he had misunderstood, he felt a little relieved.

He said to Liang Yue: "If that's the case, I don't blame you. Remember to practice well in the future, follow the right path, and don't learn everything from your master."

"Junior understands." Liang Yue replied.

Deng Yunzi took a few steps and added, "You are a very polite and sensible child. I was rude to you before, not because of you. Don't take it to heart. It was mainly because of your master. I get annoyed when I think of him..."

Before he finished his words, a man walked in from the main gate of the Zhuxie Yamen. He was wearing a green Taoist robe, with his hands in his sleeves, and had the demeanor of an immortal. Who else could it be but Wang Rulin?
Wang Rulin walked into the courtyard and saw Deng Yunzi outside the main hall. He raised his eyebrows and called out, "Old Deng?"

……

Imperial City, Qinzheng Hall.

When Chen Su went to the hall, a chair had already been placed in the hall. After he bowed, Emperor Mu Bei pointed at the chair and motioned him to sit down and talk.

The rest of the court officials had no business sitting opposite the emperor when they were presenting their opinions to him. Even if they were high-ranking officials, princes, generals, or ministers, no matter how powerful they were, they had to stand and answer questions.

Because court officials are all subjects in front of the emperor, and they all have to follow the emperor for a living.

But the immortal officials are different. After all, they are outsiders, and they are here to help. Whether they are invited to exorcise demons or catch spies, it is voluntary labor. After they finish their work, they go back to practice and do not eat in your court system.

If outsiders respect you, then you should naturally be polite to them.

In addition to leveraging power, the Xianguan model actually has a very important significance in that it strengthens the connection between both parties.

If the human dynasty and the secular world have no connection, but only know each other's existence, there will often be friction. Practitioners emphasize enforcing justice, and the government emphasizes maintaining order, but there are often conflicts between the two.

If there is a long-term lack of communication and contact, the relationship between the dynasty and the Xuanmen will become increasingly alienated, until it becomes confrontational.

The Heavenly Masters of the Mysterious Sect of all generations also understood one thing, that is, if they really wanted to maintain the order of the mountains and rivers of the Nine Provinces and bring peace to the world, that could not be achieved by just relying on the Xuanmen practitioners like them; they needed the existence of a behemoth like the dynasty.

But because a country is too big, it is easy to breed diseases and insects, so someone is needed to remove the sores for the dynasty.

Chen Sulai helped Liang Fuguo not only out of help for him, but more out of his own needs.

The relationship between Xuanmen and the dynasty is so subtle.

On the one hand, there is a common pursuit, that is, the peaceful atmosphere of the four seas and nine states, which is what both sides need; on the other hand, there is an inevitable opposition. If the power of the Xuanmen is too strong, the status of the imperial power will be reduced, and the dynasty will be controlled. If the power of the dynasty is too strong, then the practitioners of the Xuanmen will no longer be so free, and they will no longer be able to restrain the unbridled imperial power.

In fact, both sides knew that once one side gained an overwhelming power advantage, it would no longer tolerate the other side's sovereignty. But when neither side could overwhelm the other, they were perfect partners and could target the common enemy Jiuyang.

The basis of all calculations is actually power.

And the most decisive force is the fairyland.

If the Yin Dynasty has the opportunity to have another fairyland, it may break the balance of power between the two sides and completely change the existing situation.

This is also the purpose of Chen Su's visit today.

First, he had to confirm whether Emperor Mu Beidi knew about this matter.

"Your Majesty," Chen Su said solemnly, "Longhu Hall is selling a kind of lotus incense in the capital of the gods, claiming that it has the effect of soothing sleep and replenishing the spirit, and can awaken the Buddha's heart. I wonder if Your Majesty knows about this?"

Mu Beidi said calmly: "I know, it's the lotus incense. I also practiced Buddhism with the national teacher, so naturally I have used it before."

"Then..." Chen Su said, "The lotus incense contains a secret recipe for witch medicine. If you absorb too much, Li Longchan might control your mind. Does your majesty know about this?"

"I know a little about this." Mu Beidi glanced at Cao Wujiu beside him, and then said, "If it is to control divine thoughts, it is a bit exaggerated. It is nothing more than creating a god-like existence in the mind, gathering incense and wish power, praying for its blessing, prolonging life, and improving cultivation."

Chen Su continued, "This method is derived from the incense-making method of the Southern Province Black Witch Mysticism. Once it is forcibly activated, it may cause great harm to the people controlled by him. This will spread far and wide, so we must guard against it."

Mu Beidi frowned slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "Chen Qing, you don't have to worry about this incense harming the people, nor do you have to worry about the State Master forcing it to activate it, hoping to become a god through it, because this is the place where the incense and the power of the will are gathered..."

"It's me."
