Chapter 612: The Late Imperial Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Mirror of the Muddy Sky said:

“You’ve already seen my ability to noiselessly ingest the target’s genjutsu and manipulate the physical body through it, turning the target person into a puppet.

“The great Kingdom Lord relied on me back then and subdued many great demons. But now, I can only take in the Heavenly Soul and let the flesh die a slow death.

“Well, if the target person is an ordinary being, or has extremely shallow cultivation, I can manipulate the other person just as well. It doesn’t have to be face-to-face to take the Heavenly Soul, you can even forcefully manipulate it from ten thousand miles away.”

Forced control from 10,000 miles away, this is simply as perverse as taking someone s chastity from 10,000 miles away ……… Xu Qi an could not hide his surprise and felt that it was somewhat unreasonable.

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror added:

“The farther the distance, the weaker the control, and 10,000 miles away you can usually only control beings with little spirit. Now that I am crippled, this ability is no longer possible.

“The disadvantage is that the puppet state controlled by me cannot be concealed, and will be instantly recognized by those with high cultivation, or experts proficient in the Yuan Shen domain.”

The distance is so far that it’s basically uncontrollable even for normal people.

Xu Qi’an drifted off.

“My second ability is the ability to shine through the nine states, ignoring distance. But some special places can’t be spied on, such as the Buddhist holy mountain Alanta.”

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror sighed, “Already I’m a broken body and can’t illuminate the nine states. But a two thousand mile radius is thought to be fine.”

“How do I use you, dropping blood to recognize my master?” Xu Qi’an asked.

The Hunting Heaven Divine Mirror snorted:

“Don’t compare me to that kind of low-grade magic weapon, as long as I recognize you and am willing to cooperate with you, you will be able to use me. If I’m not willing, even if you drop blood to recognize me, it won’t help.”

The fragment of the earth book was connoted to ……… Xu Qi’an “Oh”, suddenly thought that the same broken magic treasure, why the fragment of the earth book does not have self-awareness?

There’s only a 2,000-mile radius, so you can’t see what’s going on in Yunzhou. ”Well, I’ll give it a try first.” Xu Qi’an immediately said:

“Can Daebong Capital City be illuminated?”

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror hesitated, “There is a First Grade Martial Artist and a First Grade Warlock in the capital city of Da Feng, I can’t illuminate them.”

“It’s fine, that martial artist has been dead for hundreds of years, and a first-ranked warlock shouldn’t be hitting on you if he is.”

Xu Qi’an patted the mirror, signaling it to hurry.

It seems to be unaware of the hidden secret that those with good fortune cannot live forever. When Xu Qi’an thought in his heart, the bronze mirror surface appeared to change, the bronze material disappeared, then the translucent as a glass mirror.

A magnificent, majestic city reflected in the glass mirror.

Xu Qi’an, who had overlooked the capital several times, instantly recognized the capital below.

“I feel like someone is spying on me ……..”

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror transmitted an intention.

It’s the supervisor, right ………. Xu Qi’an nodded, “Don’t pay any attention, he’s just a bad old man.”

I hope the Supervisor is not hearing this. He added silently in his mind.

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror didn’t pay any more attention and said smugly, “Now you know how powerful I am.”

The capital isn’t more than 2,000 miles away.

“Locate the capital ……. Move seventy feet north, ten feet in ……. Okay, okay, can you penetrate the house?”

Under the communication, the mirror shows the scene inside the Shaun’s Palace, the bedroom of the Progenitor.

She’s not in the Shao Yin Palace, she doesn’t know where she’s gone.

“Can you do localization? Well, it means that next time you can just see the place without having to give directions.”

“It’s as if you’re doubting my abilities.”

The Huntsman Mirror conveyed displeasure, then, said, “Do you need help locating the tub, I know that males love to see females out of the bath.”

I’ll wait until tonight to see …….. Xu Qi’an said in a deep voice, “Nonsense, I am different from the males you know.”

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror was surprised, “You like to watch males take a bath?”

Are you a fucking comic relief? Xu Qi’an had the Hunting Heavenly Divine Mirror locate the Xu Mansion again, and this time, it kindly locked onto the bath tub directly.

Isn’t this the second uncle and aunt’s room …….. Xu Qi’an nearly froze and said angrily:

“No, there’s no need to locate the tub here, are you really a proper phallic side?”

“You really do like males!” The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror came to a realization.

Xu Qi’an was too lazy to explain himself to a psychopath as he set his location in the inner hall of the Xu Mansion.

“Huh, Suzume is going out, to school?”

In the picture, he saw Xu Lingyin carrying a “school bag” made of a small cloth bag, wearing a child’s hair tied in a bun, and reluctantly being led out of the house by Xu Erlang.

Auntie was whispering something in her ear.

The Muddy Sky Divine Mirror did not have a voice function and could only see the screen.

“Auntie still hasn’t given up on Suzume’s studies, what a great mother’s love, even through countless times of despair and countless times of slaps in the face, Auntie hasn’t given up on her wish to see her daughter become a dragon.”

Xu Qi’an flirted, and after locating the Xu Mansion, he then had the mirror locate the Spirit Treasure View.

The scene shifted and the imposing Taoist temple appeared, and then it was instantly localized to a small secluded courtyard, in which, on the pool, a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a feathered garment and a lotus flower crown sat perched above the pool.

Meditate with your eyes closed.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked toward Xu Qi’an.

In the next moment, the image shattered, and the Muddy Sky Divine Mirror screamed miserably:

“I’m blind I’m blind …….. That woman is a land goddess!”

It backfired.

The state master is one step closer to the tribulation, ah, the Hunting Heaven Divine Mirror is treating her as a first class land deity ……… Xu Qi an is both happy and worried.

Joyfully, her cultivation was further advanced, and a land god was in sight.

The worry was that this shark couldn’t be harnessed at all, even if he regained his cultivation, how could a third grade martial artist harness a first grade?

The fish in the pond will never get out.

…………

Capital!

Erlang Xu purposely returned to the mansion for dinner today, as he was coming back to pick up Xu Suoyin to study at the palace.

The thing was, after finalizing the donation, Emperor Yongxing summoned Xu Erlang to the imperial study, appreciated him and expressed the idea of giving him a promotion.

Encourage Xu Erlang to work harder and not to let the court down.

At the end of the conversation, Emperor Yongxing, whether intentionally or not, said:

“I heard that Xu Aiqing’s youngest sister happens to be at the age of enlightenment, and she is similar in age to several imperial princesses in the palace, so why don’t we just let the young lady’s child come into the palace to study, and be taught by the Tai Fu himself.”

Xu Erlang immediately heard that Emperor Yongxing was expressing goodwill and pulling the strings.

It was a great honor for the children of courtiers to be able to enter the palace as readers, and usually only the county lords and sons of the royal family, as well as the children of some honored and important ministers, had this qualification.

But Xu Erlang did not want such a “gift”, and quickly refused.

Emperor Yongxing then became a bit unhappy, ignoring Xu Erlang’s refusal and forcing an order.

The emperor pulls in favors, how can he allow his subjects to refuse? Besides, when he ostensibly drew in Erlang Xu, who he actually drew in was known to the discerning, so he didn’t care about Erlang Xu’s opinion at all.

Imperial orders were hard to disobey, so Xu Erlang could only respond.

When I went home and told my mother about it, she was overjoyed and said, “My stupid daughter has finally had her lucky break!

This Taifu is a figure who teaches royal sons and daughters, it’s always okay for him to teach Suzume to read and write.

Last time, because Suzume beat up Seiji and was expelled from the palace, Auntie regretted it to this day.

In the carriage, Erlang Xu looked at his sister who was sitting obediently on the bench and said:

“Into the palace, no matter what Tai Fu ……. Mr. ask you anything, you say you have not read a book and do not understand anything, understand.”

Xu Lingyin nodded her head vigorously:

“Uh-huh!

“I’ll study hard and be as golden as Second Brother.”

No, I only beg you to spare Tai Fu a dog s life ……… Xu Erlang muttered in his heart.

After thinking about it, he touched Xu Lingyin’s head and said:

“If anyone bullies you, just beat him up, and if anything happens, big brother will take care of it for you.”

After a pause, he busied himself by adding, “Be careful with your measurements, and don’t hit anyone with full force.”

It’s going to kill someone.

“Oh!”

The little peahen nodded his head in a slightly naive manner.

Xu Er Lang was instantly relieved, under normal circumstances, Suzaku was still very obedient. Her temper was also very good, and she didn’t get angry easily, unless the food was robbed.

Soon, the carriage entered the imperial city and was stopped outside the palace gates.

After Xu Erlang explained the situation, the feather guards went into the palace to notify them, and in a short while, a eunuch came out, bowed and saluted towards Xu Erlang, and brought Xu Suoyin into the palace.

The place where the royal sons and daughters, as well as the county lords and sons of the world, have their lessons is called the “Upper Study Room”.

Xu Lingyin looked left and right in amazement, despite having been to the palace once, to a child, one time was obviously not enough to satisfy their exuberant curiosity.

As she walked, she suddenly saw a long, plain dress coming from the distance.

“Sister, Sister ……..”

The little peasants rose up in surprise, making loud noises without any rules, and waving their hands toward the long, plain dress.

Huaiqing looked over at the sound of the voice and was slightly stunned to see the rounded female child, who was ushered in with a light smile on her face:

“You remember me?”

“You came to the house when my cauldron died.” Xu Lingyin said aloud.

This sounds a bit wrong …….. Huaiqing smiled and nodded:

“What are you doing in the palace?”

Xu Suoyin’s naive face revealed a few moments of bewilderment, “What is doing a kidney ah.”

“What are you doing here.” Wyvern switched.

“Come to study. Mother told me to come to study.”

The little peahen had a question and an innocent face.

Huaiqing glanced at the eunuch, who said:

“His Majesty has granted permission for the young lady child of the Xu family to study at the palace.”

Huaiqing then said, “Let me take her to the upper study.”

The eunuch dared not refuse and bowed and retreated.

“Go!” Huaiqing looked at Little Dou Ding with a gentle brow.

She hadn’t crossed paths with the Xu family’s young misses much, having only met them at Xu Qi’an’s funeral, and hadn’t paid much attention to them subsequently.

After all, even if one was on good terms with Xu Qi’an and appreciated Xu Erlang, it was impossible to keep an eye on a six or seven year old toddler in the family.

She didn’t even know that Lina had taken Xu Lingyin as her disciple, let alone how powerful Little Dou Ding was.

Number One had always been high strung and didn’t fit in very well, and no one from the Heaven and Earth Society would talk to her about these everyday trivialities.

“You’re beautiful, sister.”

The little djinn looked up as he followed Wyvern’s side.

Wyvern smiled.

“You’re beautiful, sister.”

After a moment, she spoke again.

Huaiqing lowered his head and saw a pleasing glint in the girl child’s wide eyes.

“What are you trying to say?”

Wyvern narrowed his eyes, easily reading her little mind.

“Can I come to your house for pastries.”

The little beanstalker figure.

Wyvern smiled, “Yes.”

She had always admired smart people, and smart kids were among them. Plus, this kid was not only resourceful, he was bold.

Not long after, Little Dou Ding followed Huai Qing to the upper study.

In the spacious hall, there were twelve tables and cases, and twelve children sat behind the cases in a well-behaved manner, with their eyes focused, listening to the lectures of the old Tai Fu in front of the hall.

Taifu was close to eighty years old, a veteran of three dynasties, a top scorer during the years of Zhende, had taught Emperor Yuan Jing, had taught Huaiqing Lin’an, and now he was going to teach the new generation of the royal family.

When Emperor Yuan Jing cultivated negligence, Tai Fu rushed into the palace and angrily scolded the fainting emperor outside the imperial study.

And then, disheartened, he went into seclusion in the capital.

After Genjing’s death, he was one of the few people who knew the secret, so he unraveled his heart and took up the job he loved to play again.

“Tai Fu!”

Huaiqing crossed the threshold with Little Dou Ding and saluted.

“Greetings, Eldest Princess.”

Tai Fu bowed in return.

“Greetings, Eldest Princess.”

A dozen or so imperial sons and daughters and county lords and sons rose to salute.

Huaiqing nodded slightly and looked toward Xu Lingyin:

“This child troubles Tai Fu, she is Xu Qi’an’s youngest sister. You are not allowed to bully her.”

She had brought Xu Lingyin here mainly to warn the late generations of the royal family, lest this naive child be bullied here.

Tai Fu laughed, “There is no need for the Eldest Princess to worry, this child is very powerful.”

Told Xu Lingyin about her last feat.

Huaiqing was surprised to look at the round and cute female child and laughed:

“The palace is overly concerned.”

Tai Fu said with broken depth:

“Your Highness is too detached from the affairs of the palace.”

Huaiqing smiled, not saying much more, and excused himself.

Tai Fu beckoned Xu Lingyin to come forward and asked:

“You left the palace before I could test you last time. Where were you initiated before you came here? Who was the teacher who enlightened you?”

The little peahen tilted his head in thought and answered honestly:

“Forgot.”

What? Tai Fu froze, enlightened benefactor have forgotten, or, this child has not been enlightened?

He mused for a moment and said, “Can you memorize the Three Characters.”

“Will do will do.”

Xu Lingyin nodded excitedly.

Tai Fu’s face eased and he nodded with a smile, “Recite it for Lao Fu to hear.”

………..

After Huaiqing left the palace, he went to the Hanlin Academy and relayed what Xu Qi’an had explained to Xu Erlang.

Emperor Yongxing was extremely wary of her, as well as her sibling, the Fourth Prince, so this matter had to be left to Xu Erlang.

If the Yongxing Emperor knew that Xu Qi’an was privately in close contact with her, there would inevitably be a lot of suspicion.

With a new king on the throne, it was the most sensitive time, and Huaiqing was unwilling to invite trouble.

“Alas, three feet of ice is not a day’s cold.”

Xu Xinxin was overwhelmed with emotion.

“Ruling a country is like cooking a small delicacy; it is a matter of a slow and steady progress. But if the country is terminally ill, how should it be governed? Neither His Majesty, nor Chief Minister Wang, nor any of the court officials have similar experience.” Huaiqing faintly said:

“Lord Xu, do you still remember the wager we made during our hand-to-hand talk that day?”

Xu New Year revealed a solemn look and hesitated for a few seconds, “Naturally, I remember.”

Huaiqing nodded, “We’ll see.”

Pausing for a moment, she changed the subject, “In three days, there will be the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, and His Majesty will call for donations at that time, how much silver does Lord Xu intend to donate?”

Knowing that she was reminding herself, Xu New Year said:

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, I have long since discussed this matter with my elder brother.

“I will donate three months of my salary, while my elder brother will donate five thousand taels of silver.

“That way, I won’t invite impeachment for donating more, and I won’t be accused of pushing for donations while skimping on money myself.”

The district is going to be in trouble if a commoner donates 5,000 taels of silver.

But if you don’t donate, you’ll invite a storm of abuse.

“So be it.”

Huaiqing was instantly relieved and turned to say, “I saw Lord Xu’s sister in the palace on my way here.”

At those words, Xu Erlang’s face was filled with worry as he let out a sigh:

“If Your Highness has nothing to do today, could you watch over the upper study?”

Huaiqing smiled and said, “Lord Xu is afraid of her being bullied?”

I am for the sake of Taifu s safety and security ……… Xu Erlang sighed again, and reported the glorious deeds of the little bean ding one by one, and helplessly said:

“I have politely refused His Majesty, but His Majesty is bent on it, alas.”

Wyvern was dumbfounded at what he heard.

Pneumatic Qing Yunshan all gentlemen see her to hide, angry Li Miaozhen gnashing teeth, Chu Yuanzhen face green, but also the vegetarian talent Wang Simu angry cry ……..

“Your sister is pretending to be a fool and doesn’t like to read, I guess.” Huaiqing said.

“If she had played dumb, the academy’s misters, Daoist Li, Brother Chu, and Simu wouldn’t have been so frustrated and discouraged. Or even cry bitterly out of frustration.”

Xu New Year laughed bitterly.

It’s the fact that they really can’t learn that makes them feel like failures and unworthy teachers.

This leads to intense self-doubt, self-denial.

If Suzume had played dumb, they would have laughed it off and not gotten on top of it at all.

Huaiqing half convinced, moved back to the palace, the front foot just stepped into the palace, the back foot will get the news:

Tai Fu had a sudden illness and was bedridden!

Huaiqing violently surprised, said just now Tai Fu is still good, how to sudden illness …….

She remembered what Erlang Xu had just said, and her heart steeply sank as she immediately rushed to visit.

Huaiqing lifted his skirt and flew to the upper study room, and saw Tai Fu lying on a small collapse, and several imperial doctors were asking questions.

“Your Highness, the Rapunzel.”

The imperial doctors saluted.

Huaiqing waved her hand, her cool and absolutely beautiful face covered in seriousness:

“How is the Taifu’s health?”

An imperial doctor said: “the eldest princess do not be anxious, Tai Fu is fine, just suddenly have a headache and dizziness symptoms, bed rest for a few days will be.”

Another imperial physician added, “But you can’t be stimulated again for a while, you have to recuperate.”

Explain it in more understandable terms:

Tai Fu is fine. Tai Fu just had a spike in blood pressure!

Huaiqing walked to the bedside, looked at the weak breath of the Tai Fu, softly probed: “What’s wrong with the Tai Fu, encountered what?”

Tai Fu weakly said:

“Help me up, I can still do it, I don’t believe there is such a stupid person in the world.

“Old me must teach her to memorize the Three Character Sutra today, or else it will be a wasted lifetime of reading sage books.”

Huaiqing moved slightly and held Tai Fu’s withered hand, “Tai Fu, this is too difficult for you.”

Tai Fu said excitedly:

“No. Even if I die, I will teach her to memorize the Three Character Classic.

“I have taught the late emperor, and I have taught your highnesses that I cannot be late.”

Not so much Not so much, then your death would be too worthless ……… Huaiqing momentarily did not know how to pacify him.

At this point, Tai Fu’s eyelids rolled over and he fainted.

………

Xiangzhou!

Dongfang Wanrong rode in a large whisky, waving through the city, followed by dozens of East Sea Dragon Palace disciples in clusters.

Beside her sat Dongfang Wanqing, who had the same looks but a cool temperament.

“Master, we’ve already collected eight Dragon Qi Hosts, should we send them back to Jing Mountain City?”

Dongfang Wanrong asked.

“No need!”

Nalan Tianlu’s voice rang out in her mind, speaking gently:

“Dragon qi has the property of attracting each other, the more scattered dragon qi we collect, the more we can attract other dragon qi hosts.

“We’re missing a needle in a haystack magnet if we send them back to Jing Shan City.”

Dongfang Wanrong nodded and asked again:

“Why don’t you simply occupy the physical body of one of the Dragon Qi Hosts, they are all lucky people with deep blessings.”

Nalan Tianlu laughed:

“What kind of deep blessings do they count as, in the eyes of a strong person in the Transcendent Realm, it’s just a fluke that they got some benefits. For someone to allow Master to take over their body, they would have to be in the Transcendent Realm in any case.

“If you really can’t, the peak of the fourth grade is fine, just like you.”

Dongfang Wanrong giggled, “Disciple is willing to sacrifice for Master.”

Nalan Tianlu shook his head, “Oily mouth.”

Although the peak of the fourth grade was rare, it wasn’t hard to find, there was no need to take a disciple.

Besides, this disciple was a female child, and Nalan Tianlu was not willing to be resurrected in a daughter’s body.

Dongfang Wanrong thought for a moment and curiously said, “What if you could take over Xu Qi’an? That would be considered a deep blessing, right?”

“………” Nalan Tianlu shook his head and lost his smile:

“This son is covered in karma, and the Master would rather exist in the state of a lonely soul than take over him.”

After a pause, he continued:

“Among the nine states, the only one that I know of is the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom that can mold a perfect physical body with its own spiritual essence.

“If we can trade with her, Master will not have to take over the body.”

The aftereffects of taking over the body were immense, the physical body and the Yuan Shen would repel each other and could not be rubbed together for hundreds of years.

In other words, for hundreds of years, it would be difficult for his cultivation to advance another inch.

Dongfang Wanrong mused:

“We’re collecting Dragon Qi Hosts, and so is the Buddhist Sect, as well as that Xu Qi’an.

“Master, do you think our parties will wind up at a certain place at a certain time?”

Nalan Tianlu gave an affirmative answer:

“It will be, and it will be wonderful.

“When the time comes, the Master will help you.

“Wei Yuan sacked Jing Shan City and killed my son. I will then kill the younger generation he relied on to settle this karma.”
