Chapter 147: The power of the temple arises from the heart
Shen Fu in Yehuang City is bustling.
Not only did a young master from the 13th realm come, but also a brother from the 12th realm, plus a peer of the same age who couldn't tell the difference. Stamping his feet actually made the surrounding temperature drop a lot.
So remarkable?
The onlookers around them had already moved out of the way. Under the leadership of the old man, a group of people who seemed a little tired from work rushed over. I saw the head of the Shen family and the groom Shen Xiuqi, both with happy faces and welcoming the visitors. He walked out: "Long time no see!"
The young master of the Shen family, who was already wearing red and flowers, quickly knelt to greet him: "Master, please bow to me!"
The old man took out his crotch without any image, and said to Shen Xiuqi with a look of disgust on his face: "Next time someone says you don't have a master, why don't you just do it and wait for them to squat on your head and shit? "
Of course, Shen Xiuqi did not dare to agree. Not to mention that this man was already the noble prince of the vassal. Moreover, his status as his wife's biological brother and future uncle did not allow the fat man to be so presumptuous. He knelt down on the ground. The fat man laughed along with him: "My uncle also cares about Master, so he asked a few questions. Now that Master is here, wouldn't everyone be happy?"
Then he stood up and looked at Xu Qingmu: "Good brother!" His eyes were filled with gratitude.
So timely.
If Xu Qingmu and others cannot arrive in time today, it is estimated that Xu Chengdi will never let him go easily.
Then he looked at Bai Qi behind Xu Qingmu, with some confusion in his eyes: "Who is this?"
Bai Qi's familiar introduction: "Xu Qingmu is my eldest brother, Wang Shuai is my second brother, my eldest brother said that you are his good brother, and my eldest brother's brother is my brother. Now that you have a happy wedding, I naturally want to accompany you." The eldest brother came here to congratulate you." Bai Qi then looked at Xu Chengdi, who was under tremendous pressure, and said, "Why, in the Shuirou Legacy Realm, my eldest brother exchanged the name of his sword for your humble life. Don’t have a memory?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was in an uproar.
Who is this person? In front of many people, he calls the crown prince Xu Chengdi a scoundrel? Moreover, sitting in the main hall now is none other than Xu Chengdi’s biological father, Prince Changling!
In front of his father, openly insulting the current prince is a serious crime in itself. Shen Zhu immediately knelt in front of King Changling and kowtowed to the ground with his head: "Thousand years old, please calm down your anger. This child must have been drunk and talked nonsense. Please forgive me, Lord!"
With sweat pouring from Shen Zhu's head, he looked up and saw that Changling King Xu Yong's face was a little gloomy. However, what Shen Zhu didn't expect was that Changling King just frowned: "Young monk, you have such a loud tone, but Today is a great day for my daughter Xu Luo to get married to your brother. I wonder if the young monk can give me a face and allow them to sit down and talk about everything after the marriage is completed?"
Shen Zhi broke out in cold sweat. The Changling King suppressed his anger, thinking that the trouble would never stop. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials, even though in Yehuang City, the Shen family can be said to cover the sky with one hand, and there is also a plaque on the entrance door. It says "The king's relatives come second", but Shen Zhu knew that traders were just traders. Since ancient times, they were just low-class people lying on the ground wagging their tails and praying for food.
Bai Qi, who had stopped talking arrogantly, snorted: "Look at your father, he can talk better than you, so he lives longer."
"Bai Qi, please don't be rude!" After saying that, he stepped forward alone, clasped his hands and saluted, "Xu Qingmu, I've met my uncle." On the birthday of King Xu Yan, the emperor and Empress Cao openly acknowledged their loss in front of all the civil and military officials. The prince of more than ten years, naturally, met Xu Qingmu as a junior today and took the initiative to salute Changling King Xu Yong who was sitting in the main hall.
Then he added: "My third brother has not had anyone to teach him since he was a child. Please don't take offense at anything he says that offends you."
Xu Yong laughed and said: "My nephew is indeed a man of heaven. Since he is my nephew's brother, how can my uncle take it to heart? Come and give me a seat."
There were servants coming in and out, and several sandalwood chairs were brought in: "Nephew, these are the sandalwood chairs that I specially asked my servants to bring all the way from Jinling Mansion. I know that today you and the master who has cultivated the Thirteenth Realm must be together."
The meeting came, so my uncle took note of it and brought this treasure that he could not bear to sit on for many years, so he brought it here for you to sit on."
After saying that, Xu Yong, who did not stand up, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Li Chengru took the first two steps forward and sat on the chair without giving any face to the feudal king. He moved his butt and adjusted his posture: "It's a bit hard. I heard that the most famous specialty of Elf City is the gold silk cloth on your body.
, it is quite soft and breathable, and even if you fart while sitting on it, it will be absorbed. I wonder if King Changling brought these two pieces with him?"
The Crown Prince Xu Chengdi immediately stepped forward, pointed at Li Chengru and said, "My father has given you enough face. Now if you are so rude again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Chengru's smile gradually disappeared and he stared at Xu Chengdi: "Oh?"
Then endless sword intent poured out of his body, directly forcing Xu Chengdi, who was already in the eleventh realm, to kneel on the ground: "As you said, is your father dead? It's your turn to dictate here?"
No words should be spared.
King Changling seemed unusually calm. Seeing his only son being tortured by the sword, he did not ask for mercy, but turned to Li Chengru: "I have long heard that senior Li Chengru is of high realm and powerful. When I see him today, he is indeed extraordinary.
Xiu Qi, why don’t you come here and kowtow to your master, hurry up and get married. If you burden my precious daughter, I won’t let you go lightly.”
Shen Xiuqi understood and quickly asked the matchmaker next to him to bring a cup of tea: "Master, please drink tea!"
Together with Xu Luo, who was wearing a red cloth hijab, they knelt on the ground and offered tea respectfully. From the beginning to the end, Xu Chengdi was kneeling on the ground, unable to move at all.
Finally, as the matchmaker yelled, "It's done, let's go to the new house!", Shen Xiuqi and Xu Luo were both led into the new house by servants. All the guests around them also dispersed and sat back down at their dining tables.
, they drank and blessed each other again.
When you raise your head, you will see the sun in the sky; when you lower your head, you will get drunk with the wine in your cup.
In the entire main hall, only the group of Shen Xiuqi's close relatives were left.
Li Chengru probably felt uncomfortable sitting, so he changed his legs and looked at Xu Chengdi leisurely and lazily: "Boy, I will teach you a lesson today, let you know that madness will bring disaster."
Xu Chengdi still couldn't get up, gnashing his teeth and full of anger.
Prince Changling got up first, walked towards Xu Chengdi step by step, stretched out his hand and slapped Xu Chengdi hard on the face. This sudden slap made the prince, who was usually arrogant, stunned for a moment:
"Father......"
"Shut up, Senior Li kowtows and apologizes!" King Changling, who was no longer surrounded by outsiders, was furious and yelled directly at Xu Chengdi.
The prince's face was full of reluctance, he lowered his head and said: "My prince... Cheng Di knows his mistake, please calm down, senior Li!"
Li Chengru stood up with a smile, and the heavy sword intent disappeared: "This is a good boy. Look at your father, he is much more sensible than you. That's why he can thrive in this country."
Sheng Shui Qi. That's why you can be called Xu Chengdi and live till now. All of this can be attributed to your good father."
The implication couldn't be more obvious.
Although the sword intent was taken back by Li Chengru, Xu Chengdi was covered in cold sweat and knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to get up at all. At this moment, he realized that the old man in front of him was no ordinary Thirteenth Level swordsman.
Xiu, this person seems to...know everything they did?
Even King Changling next to him was a little frightened. What did these simple words mean? It meant that once someone revealed something in front of King Xu Yan, it meant that Xu Qingmu would have a casual conversation with Queen Cao when he came to Beijing next time.
In two sentences, these more than ten years of enduring humiliation, and more than ten years of working in vain will completely come to naught!
At that moment, the Prince of Changling, who had deep thoughts about the city, cupped his hands in front of Li Chengru and said, "Senior Li is absolutely right. I will definitely educate the dog well. From now on, I will ask a Feng Shui master to change Xu Chengdi's name."
!”
Isn’t this obvious? I am a thousand-year-old vassal king, and I take the initiative to bow my head to you. Please show me your noble hand.
Then he continued: "I heard that in addition to practicing swordsmanship, Xiu Qi also wanted to stay in Jinling City and take charge of the affairs of Jinling with me last time he talked to me. Now that I am old, and when Xu Chengdi came, he said that he wanted to
Take the initiative to surrender to the surrounding fortresses and defend the territory and expand the territory for the country. In this way, how can there be no one around to take charge? After thinking about it, this cultivation is the most suitable!"
Gao! He is indeed a master of power in the temple!
Xu Qingmu secretly sighed in his heart, the palace of King Changling is really not that deep! First he expressed his attitude to Li Chengru, and then threatened at the exit, "I can't control you, Li Chengru, then I will trap your disciple by my side and tie him to a thread."
When it comes to business, you will always put your finger on the wall and think twice before doing anything, right?
Bai Qi naturally didn't understand these political tricks, so he came over to Xu Qingmu and said, "Brother, this person's face changes so quickly!"
Xu Qingmu smiled and said just listen and don't say anything. Bai Qi nodded, but there was still some curiosity in his eyes.
Li Chengru raised his hand and waved: "That's all, it's the destiny of that boy Shen Xiuqi to choose. I'm old too. You guys who are above the temple can play whatever you want with your mind. It's just one thing. I never like people who treat people like that.
I am a chess piece, and this is one of them."
Li Chengru stared into King Changling's eyes: "I am more protective of calves, and this is the second one."
King Changling was ecstatic. What do you mean by what he said today? These were just the last two sentences of Li Chengru! They both showed that he would not be involved in it, would not interfere in the struggle for power, and would not reveal these views.
The doorway out is to Xu Qingmu.
King Changling bowed his head to the end: "Xu Yong, thank you, senior!"
Only Xu Chengdi, who was kneeling on the ground, was heartbroken.
...In the afternoon, when Shen Xiuqi and Xu Luo went out to toast, the people who were already sitting at the dinner table looked at the busy fat man and Xu Luo, and they were really happy, especially
Xu Qingmu, after ten years of life-and-death training in Qinglian Space, came out so warm, filling the young man's heart with warmth. With what he thought in his heart, he reached out and held Lin Xue's hand, touching the warmth.
At that moment, I was even happier.
Wang Shuai leaned over and said something to Hong Li. The funny red carp sometimes covered his face and smiled, sometimes flushed, and lightly hit Wang Shuai. The head of the Wang family, who had been transformed by Fu Xiansheng, returned to his former lively state.
appearance.
When the fat man came to toast with Xu Luo, holding the wine glass, the sharp-eyed Liu Liu noticed carefully that Xu Luo's belly was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant. This woman can now completely suppress the voodoo body on her own.
The girl looked at Xu Qingmu, who was holding Lin Xue's hand, with a flash of disappointment in her eyes.
"Sister Xu Luo, congratulations!" Liu Liu raised his wine glass and raised it generously. On the road, Liu Liu and Xu Luo were the closest to each other. The two were almost inseparable and often leaned over each other.
Whispering together.
Xu Luo was naturally happy and said with a smile: "You should hurry up, I don't know who has cultivated blessings for eight lifetimes before he can fall in your eyes!"
Liu Liu smiled and lowered his head, but his eyes were wandering. So what? This heart is not with me.
There were a group of people at the table in twos and threes, all raising their glasses and saying their blessings, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
After Fatty and Xu Luo left, the Crown Prince Xu Chengdi came over with a wine glass in his hands, looking extremely lonely: "Senior Li, I apologize for what I said today. Please don't remember the faults of villains and don't argue with me like this!"
After that, drink it all in one gulp.
Li Chengru looked at the person in front of him and sighed: "That's all, you are just a victim. Forget it, do you really think you can enjoy the shade at the top of the temple?"
Yes, the heights of the temple are where people’s hearts become cold and desolate!
The banquet was not fully enjoyed until the evening. After all, everyone in the Shen Mansion was a businessman. As one of the three surnamed families, naturally they should not be careless in hospitality. Under Shen Zhu's instructions, the servants of the Shen Mansion prepared a banquet overnight, so the entire Shen Mansion,
The lights were as bright as day again, and some guests who were not satisfied stayed to drink again.
It’s just that the sun above has become the moon above, and the wine in the cup is still the wine in the cup.
In the evening, Xu Qingmu did not participate in the fat man's wedding ceremony, but rested in the room prepared by Uncle Shen Zhu. The relationship between Qishang and Ye Qingxian improved a lot, and they took some money and went to the street early. Wang Shuai and
Hong Li and the other two were very interested in having a wedding party, so they went to Fatty's new house with several other people to have fun, including Lin Xue and Cao Tong, who also stood far outside the door, smiling at the cheerful scene inside the house.
In the whole room, only Li Chengru, Xu Qingmu and Bai Qi were left.
"What's your plan next?" Li Chengru stole a lot of wine today, and Bai Qi rolled his eyes at him several times. Logically speaking, as soon as he opened his mouth, wouldn't Shen Zhu immediately fill up his wine bottle? Bai Qi asked him.
At that time, this old man in the thirteenth realm was not ashamed at all: "What do you know? This is how the wine will be sweet!"
Xu Qingmu thought of the conversation between Shuirou Sword Spirit and him in the Shuirou Legacy Territory, and felt a little sad in his heart: "Get ready to return to Chang'an and find Xu Pei to start the battle for the way of heaven in advance."
The letter he asked Brother Qi Chunfeng to bring back earlier was an agreement to fight with Xu Pei in advance. With the proud temper of Prince Xu Pei, he would definitely agree. Of course, there is another letter written to King Xu Yan and
As for Queen Cao Yuqiu, Xu Qingmu didn't say anything about it, and Qi Chunfeng didn't point it out either.
"Are you sure?" Li Chengru secretly poured the wine on the table into the jug, not forgetting to sip it off the bowl.
"Although the black ice field cannot be used, it is the foundation of the Nine Realms after all. In terms of realm, I should be higher than Wang Shuai, right?" Xu Qingmu has been in the cave for ten years, and Wang Shuai is only in Haoran World.
The past two months or so.
Li Chengru Yaoyaotou: "Before the Qinglian space was not broken, you were indeed higher than them. But now that the Qinglian space is broken, it's hard to say." Spiritual energy poured into the world. In the past, countless monks could have reached a higher level, but they suffered from this.
At the end of the world, the spiritual energy in the world is just lacking. Now that this opportunity has come, many people just walked around and broke through.
Xu Qingmu nodded and thought in his mind: "My domain has completely disappeared. The sword spirit is not allowed to be used. It is probably to balance the fight between me and Xu Pei. The Shuirou Sword will definitely not be taken out, not to mention the sword spirit.
Even if I can use it, it would not be a smart idea to let this soft water sword appear in the world."
Li Chengru nodded, it was true.
But Xu Qingmu still smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm sure of it!"
The young man thought of Lin Zhenbei, the man who knew he was going to die but still walked out of Funiu Town without any complaints, and felt some unexplainable happiness and confidence in his heart.
The more wine you drink, the happier you will become.
