Chapter 1352 Secret Talk:
Head Jurba brought a group of young monks into the Western Continent to slow down their journey a little, giving half a day to the fairies to scan the goods in each big town.
The group walked and stopped, and in a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Most of the Western Continent was covered by heavy snow, and people were busy celebrating the New Year. On the day before the New Year, they also stopped in the wilderness, deliberately choosing a place in the snowy mountains, and took out Le Xiaoxianzi's The rosewood palace is placed in an open area for easy viewing.
Classmate Le Xiao personally cooked spiritual food and spent two days making several kinds of spiritual food that were full of color and taste. As a result, one of the first generation direct disciples of the Yuheng Sect, who was originally a perfect real person in the late Yuan Ying period, after a full meal After a sudden pause, he was promoted to the out-of-body stage.
If it weren't for the presence of Yulan Sect disciples, the beaming head Julba would probably jump for joy. The one who was promoted was the chief disciple among the first generation direct disciples. He specially brought him to the Western Continent in the hope of letting him get involved. Blessed by the little fairy.
Now that his wish has been fulfilled, the head of Jurba is very happy. The chief disciple has been promoted to the out-of-body stage. He can consider stepping down to make way for others. After he is relieved of the post of head, he can practice wholeheartedly to pursue the path of flying immortals.
Yu Qi and others secretly rolled their eyes, knowing that the head of Zhuerba specially brought four disciples to escort the junior sister to the Western Continent because he must want to get the favor of the little fairy, and it was indeed the case.
After the New Year, when the second day of training arrived, Master Jurba and the young monks set off again. After flying for nearly two months, the central part of the Western Continent was also in sight.
At the beginning of March of the new year, when spring was everywhere and the people were busy farming, Mu Yuechan, the eldest princess of Cang Yue Kingdom, finally returned to the capital of Cang Yue Empire with a few people who survived the secret realm of Langshan.
Don't think that it took them more than two years to return to Cang Yue because they missed time while playing on the road. In fact, that was a very normal speed.
There is a distance of tens of millions of miles from Langshan Mountain in the Central Continent to the Cangyue Empire in the North Continent. If ordinary people are allowed to walk, it will take at least ten to thirty years, and monks in the Qi Refining Stage will have to walk for more than five years. , only Mu Er in Cang Yue's treasure hunting group had the intact golden elixir, and she was traveling with a few burdens. It was not easy to return to Cang Yue in two years.
Mu Yuechan returned to the imperial capital in a dusty state and did not immediately enter the city. She first stopped in the wilderness dozens of miles away from the city to rest and recuperate. The Cang Yue Empire's treasure-hunting group set off with great fanfare, but the entire army was almost annihilated. Now that she has returned in disgrace, how can she? He had the nerve to parade around the imperial capital with his remaining soldiers and generals.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that Mu Yuechan led the surviving members of the treasure hunt group into the city. She flew over the city wall with her flying sword from the sky beyond the sight of the common people, and landed directly outside the palace, which was also the emperor's living room.
A UFO suddenly descended. The palace guards initially thought there was an assassin and surrounded it. Then they discovered that it was the eldest princess of the empire and were extremely shocked.
Emperor Cang Yue, who had been busy with government affairs all day, returned to the living hall in the evening. He had just rested for a while and before the food was passed around, there were bursts of noise outside, and there was a louder call of "See the eldest princess, Your Highness". I couldn't believe it. The princess has returned to China?
It stands to reason that the imperial sister will definitely go to the Langshan Secret Realm with the Yulan Sect. Then, she will definitely return to Yulan Mountain with the sect. She should not have time to return to Cangyue.
While feeling surprised, the man stood up and walked out.
Cang Yue Emperor Mu Hao and Mu Yuechan have the same mother. However, Mu Yuechan is the eldest daughter of the late emperor, while Mu Hao is his mother's elder son. There is a difference of more than forty years between the siblings. Emperor Hao is over three hundred and ninety years old.
There is a sister who is a direct disciple of the Yulan Sect. Mu Hao was forcibly stacked with pills to become a monk in the consecration stage. Of course, he only has the lifespan of a monk in the consecration stage and does not have the strength. At the same time, he has reached his limit. There are too many elixirs that cannot be advanced. If there is no accident, you will be stuck at the initial stage of consecration for the rest of your life. Unless you take the elixir that can make people soar in the day, it can have miraculous effects again.
The consecrated monks who have accumulated elixirs and taken a large amount of beauty elixirs are still unable to cover up the traces of time. A person who is over 300 years old looks like he is over 50 years old.
The imperial robes of the Cang Yue Kingdom were purple and gold. Emperor Mu had not changed into his imperial robes when he came back from the previous dynasty. He only took off the emperor's crown and was still wearing the purple and gold robes.
Mu Yuechan was in a bad mood. When she returned to the palace and saw a group of guards coming, she almost ran away. It wasn't until the group of people knelt on the ground that her anger subsided a little. With a cold face, she asked the survivors of the treasure hunt group to be killed. Take her down first and place her there, then she goes to see the emperor.
The guards in the palace obeyed the eldest princess's orders without any hesitation. The entire empire knew that the emperor of Cang Yue respected his eldest sister the most, and it was right to follow the eldest princess's orders.
The guards led several people and were about to retreat when they found that the emperor had left the hall and immediately saluted.
Mu Yuechan ordered the palace guards to take the survivors of the treasure hunt group down and resettle them. She turned around and floated towards the main hall. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw the emperor's brother coming out to greet them, and her cold expression softened a bit.
Mu Dijun saw that his sister was really back, and he could tell from her face that she was in a bad mood. He smiled and stepped out of the palace and stood in front of her: "Sister Huang is back? It must have been a hard journey. Let's go to the palace and rest. ."
The emperor's brother was still as close as ever, and Mu Yuechan's gloomy mood improved a little. She only answered with "hmm" and walked towards the palace.
Mu Dijun walked out of the palace gate and saw clearly the people who had returned to the palace with the emperor's sister. He guessed that they might be members of the treasure hunting team sent to the secret place of Langshan, but for some reason there were only a few people, and Mu's Nascent Soul enshrinement was nowhere to be seen. He was surprised and doubtful, but without asking, he and the imperial sister turned around and entered the palace.
After the siblings entered the palace, they immediately went to the side hall to warm the pavilion. The maids fetched water in an orderly manner to serve the eldest princess to clean her hands and face, and then served spiritual tea. After that, only the emperor was left to walk by the emperor's side to wait on him, and all other palace residents left the warm pavilion. .
After drinking the spiritual tea from the Yulan Sect, Mu Yuechan's gloomy and irritable mood became calmer, but her face still didn't look good.
Mu Dijun guessed that the trip to the secret place of Langshan must be very unsatisfactory, so he didn't ask and ordered the meal to be passed on first.
The palace people who had been waiting for a long time immediately took the meal. The royal meal flowed from the kitchen into the emperor's living room like water. Nearly a hundred dishes were placed on the huge table. The palace attendants stood in all directions to serve the emperor and the eldest princess. Cloth dishes.
Mu Yuechan was used to eating spiritual food. In the past, when she returned to the palace to stay for a long time, she would take out monster meat or first- and second-level grouse and other animal meat and give it to the chef to open a small stove for her. She also had a cunning mouth. Looking at the ordinary delicacies, I only picked a few foods that were barely edible and ate them.
Mu Dijun did not feel wronged because of his sister's picky eaters. He ate dinner as usual, washed his hands and noodles, and moved to the study.
The emperor and the eldest princess always go to the study room protected by the formation when they have business discussions. The palace people have long been accustomed to it. When walking in front of the emperor, he first brings spiritual tea into the study room, and then leads the palace people to evacuate the table in an orderly manner. The shifts that need to be changed are replaced. Those who go to dine go to eat.
The study was protected by the formation, and they were not afraid of being spied on. Without the palace attendants around, the siblings also relaxed.
Mu Dijun looked at the face of the emperor and saw that the emperor's sister had a gloomy expression. He deliberately pretended that he had not seen the guards of the treasure hunting team who had returned with the emperor's sister outside the palace before, and asked jokingly: "Emperor, sister, you look very worried. Is it possible that there is a male immortal who wants to practice dual cultivation with the imperial sister, which makes the imperial sister hesitate?"
Mu Yuechan was in a bad mood. She was ridiculed by the emperor's brother, and her heart wrinkled: "It's not a matter of dual cultivation partners, but the trip to the secret place of Langshan Mountain. There has been a big change."
"Sister Huang, with you and Elder Miao, it doesn't matter if the harvest is not big this time. If you go to other secret realms in the future, you don't have to worry about it." Mu Dijun already guessed something. , was not surprised, but comforted the imperial sister, who didn’t know that Elder Miao, the inner elder of the Yulan Sect, was Cang Yue’s patron saint. With Elder Miao’s protection, even if Cang Yue went to the secret realm and failed to gain anything, she would still be able to make money in the future. The bowl is full.
When she mentioned her master, Mu Yuechan's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly: "Brother, the situation is not optimistic this time. The sect is very dissatisfied with my master and me for protecting Cang Yue as disciples of the Yulan Sect, which led to the opening of the secret realm of Langshan." On that day, the sect did not allow us masters and disciples to enter the secret realm. Therefore, the empire and the Mi Tuan expedition team were attacked by high-level monsters in the secret realm and suffered heavy losses. One of the two emperor's nephews died and the other was maimed. The real person Yuanying worshiped by the Mu family was also seriously injured. In the end, only a few people survived after being rescued along the way."
"How could this happen? The relationship between Elder Miao and Cang Yue has been maintained for hundreds of years. The Yulan Sect has never asked about Elder Miao's personal affairs before, so why does it suddenly care? How should the disciples behave in the secular world?"
Mu Dijun was shocked. There is nothing to be sad about if the entire treasure hunting group is wiped out. He has more than forty sons. The death of one or two will have no impact on the future of the empire, but if the Yulan Sect Explicitly prohibiting disciples from having close contact with Cang Yue would be extremely detrimental to Cang Yue.
In the past few hundred years, Elder Miao had protected Cang Yue, so even if Cang Yue expanded her territory and swallowed up the territories of other empires, other countries were afraid of the Yulan Sect and did not dare to counterattack aggressively, allowing Cang Yue to accumulate a lot of wealth.
If once the Yulan Sect explicitly orders Elder Miao not to interfere in the battle for empire in the secular world, Cang Yue will lose the protection of the Yulan Sect elders and will surely suffer suppression and retaliation from the surrounding empires.
Mu Dijun became more and more frightened as he thought about it. Elder Miao protected Cangyue not for a few years or decades, but for hundreds of years. Why did the Yulan Sect never ask questions before? What happened that led to the Yulan Sect? Suddenly dissatisfied with Elder Miao?
"I don't know what's going on. The master and the head of the sect have clearly ordered the disciples of the sect not to interfere with the affairs of the secular world. If the master and I continue to put Cang Yue first as before, it is very likely that we will be punished, and even some He may be demoted from a direct disciple to an outer disciple."
Mu Yuechan did not dare to say that there might be serious consequences such as being expelled from the Yulan Sect. She tried her best to whitewash the situation and said more calmly: "The secret realm of Langshan is closed, and the master has been expelled from the sect. I was ordered to return to the Yulan Sect. I will most likely not leave Yulan Mountain without the sect’s permission. I have been traveling for ten years with the sect’s permission. In order not to incur the wrath of the elders of the sect, I will not stay for a long time. According to time, three
years Later, a secret realm will be opened in Yujing Mountain. About six years later, the secret realm of Mangshan Mountain will be opened on the border of Cangyue Kingdom. I will go to Yujing Mountain and try to return to Cangyue before the secret realm of Mangshan Mountain is opened. After that, almost ten years will come. I will return to the sect, and I don’t know how long it will take to walk again.
From what I can see now, other empires still don’t know that the Yulan Sect has explicitly ordered my master not to get involved in the affairs of Cang Yue Kingdom. Taking advantage of the remaining power of our master and disciple, if the emperor brother wants The expansion of territory or the accumulation of wealth for the empire should be completed within a few years as soon as possible.
Also, the emperor's brother is strictly guarding against the Mingyue Kingdom. It is best to deal with the Mingyue Kingdom first to eliminate the serious troubles."
After the Langshan secret realm was closed, the master After losing her trace, Mu Yuechan didn't know what happened to her master, and she didn't dare to challenge the sect leader's rights. She still traveled around the imperial capital as unscrupulously as before, so she decided to avoid the limelight first.
Based on her guess, Luo Cheng and other junior brothers will definitely accompany a certain girl to the Yujing Mountain Secret Realm. After all, the Yujing Mountain Secret Realm is also a ten-thousand-year secret realm. It is only opened once, and the next time it is opened will be the second time. Those who go to the secret realm for the first time The harvest is very fruitful, and the second opening is also very tempting to the world of immortality. If someone likes spiritual plants, he will definitely go to explore it.
Mu Yuechan decided to go to Yujing Mountain and find Yulan Sect disciples according to the situation to find out the sect's attitude towards the master, and then decide what to do.
When the imperial sister mentioned the Mingyue Kingdom, Emperor Mu felt aggrieved. Both the Mingyue Empire and the Cang Yue Empire had the word "moon" in them, but they were bitter rivals. Moreover, the Mingyue Kingdom had been established longer than Cang Yue, so Cang Yue wanted to use the same name as the country. The words indicate that it is not feasible for the Yue Kingdom to seize Cang Yue's luck and attack the other party.
The Mingyue Empire used to suppress Cang Yue, until the late emperor and the imperial sister used Duan, and the elder Miao of the inner sect of the Yulan Sect protected Cang Yue, giving Cang Yue a chance to breathe, and thus had the opportunity to grow in recent hundreds of years. .
It is not an easy task to clean up the Mingyue Empire. A certain royal child of the Mingyue Empire was also a direct disciple of the Yulan Sect. Even if he died more than ten years ago, if Cang Yue destroys the Mingyue Kingdom, who can be sure that the Yulan Sect will not be destroyed? Will you come out to reason?
To Cang Yue, Mingyue Kingdom was like a thorn in her throat, unable to come up or go down. Mu Dijun also listened to the emperor's words, and then asked how many members of the Langshan Secret Treasure Hunting Group came back alive, What kind of monster was encountered in the secret realm? Why didn't the Mu family come back after worshiping the Nascent Soul?
When he heard that the enshrined Yuanying Master had been seriously injured and had to resign, Mu Dijun became more and more shocked and suspicious. The enshrined Yuanying Master had been severely damaged. No matter what, it was supposed to be the best thing to return to Cang Yue and let Mu support him until he was old. Instead, he chose to resign. No matter how you say it, it is obvious. Weird.
He felt that it must be the Yulan Sect's action of not allowing Master Miao and his disciples to enter the secret realm, which made Master Mu realize that the Yulan Sect was dissatisfied with Elder Miao, so Master Master Miao took the opportunity to escape.
Mu Dijun felt that the situation was becoming more and more serious. He spoke calmly to the emperor's sister for a while, sent the emperor's sister away, and immediately went to the study room where government affairs were handled. He opened the secret passage in the study room and entered the underground secret palace to discuss state affairs with the cultivators in the underground secret palace. .
He stayed in the palace below for nearly half an hour before leaving the study. The next day, he calmly summoned the survivors who had returned from the Langshan secret realm and paid for the comfort of the dead and injured. As for the disabled prince, he became a Abandoned son of the royal family.
The mothers and concubines of the two princes heard that their children were dead or injured. No matter how sad they were, they did not dare to make a fuss, let alone reveal the slightest dissatisfaction with the eldest princess.
Cang Yue's eldest princess stayed in the palace for ten days and set off for Yujing Mountain. As soon as she left, Emperor Mu secretly mobilized his troops to punish the generals and stepped up preparations for the supplies needed for the war.
