Be a Salted Fish In the Harem Text - Chapter 59

Smoke curls up from the duck stove.

Mu Sheng sat in front of the small table, with a book rolled up in his hand. The heavy burden in her heart was lifted, and she had the leisure to think about other things. Like where did the others fall? Are the other three imperial heirs self-derived characters in the picture of Shanhe Sheji, or are they outsiders like her? Her identity is alienated from the Taiyuan Dao Palace because of her different Taoism, and she does not want to change now. It would be fine if laymen and monks were completely separated, but now that monks are messing up the situation, why not give the rest of the people a way to enter the Tao?

“Your Highness—” the sound of hurried footsteps came to his ears in unison with that uneasy tone, and Mu Sheng raised his eyes and saw a female general in armor. This person’s name is Jiang Yan, and he is an illusion in the Sheji map, and he is one of her confidantes.

Mu Sheng immediately put down the scroll, looked up at her, and asked warmly, “What happened?”

“The battle post sent by the demon of Heifeng Mountain.” Jiang Yan presented the post with both hands, and there were raging flames hidden in those beautiful eyes. That monster is really bold, not only wanting the whole Chilong City to bow down, but also wanting His Highness to be his concubine! It’s really unreasonable! Mu Sheng glanced at the ten lines, and took the content of the “battle post” into her eyes. She also had a wave of anger, and her eyes were like frost.

After Taiyuan Dao Palace and the imperial dynasty were divorced, the monsters that were suppressed suddenly started to make trouble. If it was said that there was no handwriting of Taiyuan Dao Palace, Mu Sheng would not believe it. “What does Taiyuan Dao Palace say?” Mu Sheng turned to Jiang Yan and asked in a deep voice.

“The real people in Taiyuan Dao Palace are in seclusion, and they have no time to deal with demon affairs.” Jiang Yan pursed his lips and said. She didn’t say any more embarrassing words, Taiyuan Dao Palace deliberately did this, just to want His Highness to be soft.

“Use the Longwei cannon first.” Mu Sheng ordered coldly. Speaking of which, when the founders of the former dynasty quelled the rebellion in the four directions, they also seized a lot of Daoist scriptures. They did not send these things to the Taiyuan Daoist Palace, but kept them in the palace treasury for their own research. At that time, he wanted to take a different path from Taiyuan Taoist Palace, and this artillery that could kill demons and monks was one of the achievements.

“Over there at Taiyuan Dao Palace—” Jiang Yan hesitated.

Mu Sheng raised his eyelids and said, “Leave them alone.” The artillery itself is a kind of provocation to Taiyuan Dao Palace. However, its power is limited, and high-level monsters and monks may not be afraid of the power of artillery. If they show up, things will probably become much more difficult.

Jiang Yan responded, and suddenly remembered something again. She took out a handwritten letter from her sleeve, and whispered: “It was sent by the Second Highness.”

“Second?” Mu Sheng frowned. Originally, the impression of the so-called Second Highness was vague, but the information about him slowly became clear in his mind when he came into contact with the handwriting from him. Taiyuan Dao Palace couldn’t break the imperial fortune of the Dahong Dynasty, so it prepared to support one by itself. Among the four competitors with imperial aura, this second child was close to Taiyuan Dao Palace! But what made Mu Sheng frown was not his choice, but his identity—Meng Yan!

Meng Yan disappeared after falling off the cliff. Without him in the experience of Mingxin Island, it is impossible for him to be on the top list. If so, how did he enter this mysterious realm of artifacts? He exchanged places with someone? But if this is the case, how could the Xuanmo Erdao agree? Mu Sheng squeezed the handwritten letter into a ball, and the worry in his heart became more and more intense.

Outside Red Dragon City.

The sound of rumbling artillery fire was earth-shattering, and the smoke shot straight into the sky. Many monsters that emerged from the Black Wind City died under the attack of the artillery fire, but some still climbed up the city wall. However, the armored man on the city wall swung his long sword in his hand, taking advantage of the situation to kill the demon. The Dahong Dynasty has studied high-level power, and it is in the direction of creation. The spirit armor on the armored man has different powers. After wearing the spirit armor, one’s own strength can be raised to a level, and can compete with monsters. However, the high-level strength is insufficient, and the armored warriors cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with the real people of Taiyuan Dao Palace.

There were a thousand armored men under Mu Sheng, and with the cooperation of Longwei artillery, they barely kept the monsters out of the city. After suffering a big loss, the demons of Heifeng Mountain receded like a tide, and then a gust of black wind spread outside, with blood and stench hidden in the strong evil spirit, attacking forward one after another. Jie Jie’s strange laughter floated in the air, and the demon king retreated to his own soldiers, not intending to give up, but preparing to do it himself. But just as its aura climbed upwards, a strange flame landed on the black smoke, accompanied by painful and shrill screams, the demon king was burned to ashes by the fire!

The soldiers who saw such methods on the city wall hurriedly reported back to Mu Sheng, thinking that it was Taiyuan Dao Palace who came to help. Another possibility appeared in Mu Sheng’s mind—when the name popped up, a red dress came straight into his eyes.

Familiar deep eyebrows, bright smile…how did she come so fast? Mu Sheng stood up hastily, but the excitement and joy in his heart could hardly be suppressed, the excessive movement involved Xiaoji, making the copper vase with flowers on it crumbling! Wen Qingchou’s footsteps were fast, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived in front of Mu Sheng and helped up the copper bottle that had fallen down.

“Junior sister seems a little surprised?” Wen Qingyou asked with a smile.

How could Mu Sheng not be surprised? Her body is a mortal, but the senior sister seems to have maintained her cultivation. Is it just the senior sister? Or is there someone else? If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be powerless against the group of monks who kept their cultivation? ! “Senior sister came so fast!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to hurry up?” Warmth smiled and said again, “I thought you wanted to see it very much.”

Mu Sheng was taken aback, and she cast a warm and sad look, her eyes flickering. “The demon outside was also your hand, Senior Sister?” Mu Sheng asked again.

Wen Qingshou nodded and said, “That’s right.” After a pause, she smiled, “I’m afraid this news will be known by people in Taiyuan Dao Palace.” There was a strange look on her face.

Mu Sheng frowned, and said again: “Are there any comrades in the Taoist Palace?”

Wen Qingchou understood that she was referring to the monks who entered from the outside, and immediately nodded and said: “Yes. Now the power of the Dahong Dynasty is divided into three parts, some are in the demons, some are in the dynasty, and some are in the Taiyuan Taoist Palace. “

Mu Sheng had a clear expression on his face. Those in the demon or Taiyuan Dao Palace will probably maintain their cultivation, and only those in the court will lose their strength. That being the case, the senior sister took a fixed look at Wen Qingchou, and Mu Sheng still asked: “Then senior sister, where are you?”

“It’s you,” she said with a calm smile.

The words that came to his ears were quite pleasant, and Mu Sheng thought about it, and immediately suppressed that emotion. She sat on the couch with Wen Qingchou, and a map of the territory of the Dahong Dynasty was spread out in front of her. “The key to getting the map of Jiangshan Sheji lies in the throne, and this throne is for four people to fight for. I think there are at least four forces behind the four people. But among them, the most important thing is the attitude of Taiyuan Dao Palace. Before Taiyuan The people from the Dao Palace found me here, and asked me to give up the means of creation and not to peep at the Dao. In this way, they were willing to help me. But after I refused, they found the so-called Second Highness, and this Second Highness is Meng Yan!”

“Meng Yan?” Wen Qingchou raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise, “how could he appear in this secret place?”

Mu Sheng shook her head and said, “I don’t know.” She was also puzzled, perhaps only by finding Meng Yan could she find the answer.

“What’s your plan?” said tenderly and sadly.

Mu Sheng smiled, and sighed: “Actually, I didn’t want to fight at first. But now, I have no other choice.” The map of mountains, rivers and land can never fall into Meng Yan’s hands. Pointing her fingertips on the territory map, she said again, “Although there are 365 Taoist palaces, after the great actions of the previous three emperors, not every Taoist palace occupies an absolute position in the state and county. The land boundary can be taken into your hands.”

“In confronting monsters and Taiyuan Dao Palace, the most important thing is the strength of the upper level.” Wen Qingshou gave Mu Sheng a meaningful look.

Mu Sheng nodded and said: “I have a thousand armored men in my hand, but this number is still not enough. The Daoist scriptures in the imperial dynasty are not enough to push them to climb a level.” She frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said , “But those in Taiyuan Dao Palace can.”

Warm and sad, she raised her eyebrows and said, “are you going to do something to Taiyuan Dao Palace?”

Mu Sheng said: “Even if I don’t do anything, those comrades will not let me go.” What they are fighting for is the map of the country, and the first step is to exclude dissidents? For the monks who still have cultivation, the “ordinary people” who are in the court and have different thoughts are the best targets. Of course, if it was just Mu Sheng herself, she would not have such a plan. But isn’t Senior Sister Wen here now?

“Are you sure that I will help you?” Wen Qingshou stared at Mu Sheng, raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.

The corners of Mu Sheng’s lips curled up, and a bright smile appeared. She met her warm and sad eyes, which were clever and sly: “If Senior Sister Wen doesn’t help me, who are you going to help?” silence. Wen Qingchou turned around, her body leaned forward slightly, as if she was about to touch the tip of Mu Sheng’s nose. Mu Sheng’s face turned red, and his heart beat suddenly accelerated. She flinched first, avoiding the sight of warmth and sorrow in a hurry, coughed lightly and said, “I don’t have to ask for the map of mountains and rivers, but I can take it if I want it.”

“If the disciples of Tianyanzong heard what you said, I’m afraid they will have a good meal of complaints.” He said with a warm smile.

There is still closeness between people, all for the purpose of suppressing the remnant soul of the evil lord, as long as this goal is achieved, the things are in the same hands. Mu Sheng thought so, and still smiled and accepted the words of warmth and sorrow: “Only you and I are here, how can the people of Tianyan Sect know?”

There are many sub-concepts of Taiyuan Dao Palace, and there is one in Chilong City, and its status is detached, guarded by real people, above all sub-concepts in this big state.

“Senior Sister Qu.” The young disciple in Taoist robes hurriedly walked, it was Chang Rui, the registered disciple of Linchuan Peak of Tianyan Sect. The identities of their group in the secret realm are all monks of Taiyuan Taoist Palace, and among them, Qu Yichen is the real person in charge of this branch.

“The demons in Heifeng Mountain were killed, and the monks in Taiyuan Taoist Palace would not take action. They could only come here like us.” Chang Rui frowned and said in a deep voice. After the initial daze, they figured out their identities and quickly adapted to their new roles. Chang Rui came back to see Qu Yichen, and brought the news he had inquired, and he said, “The four people who are full of imperial aura are all from Kyushu. Among them, the first highness is Junior Sister Mu, and the second highness is Master Meng and Meng Meng. Yan, the third highness is Cui Danlou, and the fourth highness is Xia Yingying from the Demon Sect.”

“Meng Yan? Why did he appear in the secret realm?” Qu Yichen suddenly flashed a cold light in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Chang Rui shook his head, sighed wistfully, and said, “I don’t know.” After a pause, he continued, “It stands to reason that we should join Junior Sister Mu to fight for the map of the mountains and rivers for her, but Junior Sister Mu’s ideas are different from those of the Grand Master. Yuan Dao Palace is different, but Meng Yan is the supporter of Tai Yuan Dao Palace. Shall we change our minds?”

“How to change it? Do you support Junior Sister Mu to preach among mortals? Do you support her in researching creations and expel the forces of Taiyuan Dao Palace?” Qu Yichen glanced at Chang Rui coldly, thought for a moment and said, “We won’t change it, but Sister Mu can give me some advice.” The Dahong Dynasty wanted more than creations, and clearly wanted to confer the titles of immortals and gods, and put the Dynasty above the monks. But now the way of Taiyuan Dao Palace has also deviated from the intention of the ancestors. Qu Yichen is a little displeased with their attitude, but this point will be discussed later. Right now, the goal of the entire Taiyuan Dao Palace is the same, that is, Dahong The imperial dynasty and the scroll map of mountains, rivers and society.

After all, there is a fellowship, Chang Rui got Qu Yichen’s order, and left Taiyuan Taoist Palace to look for Mu Sheng. When the Kyushu monks entered the map of the mountains and rivers, the entire secret realm was “lived” instead of the rigid evolution like in the past.

The tea leaves sink and float in the cup, and the dense smoke envelops the tea fragrance in the breeze.

Chang Rui and Mu Sheng sat cross-legged, their smiles were as gentle as the breeze. “Junior Sister Mu, except for you, everyone in my Tianyan Sect is now in the Taiyuan Dao Palace.”

“If you can get help from senior sisters and senior brothers, you will be close to the throne.” Mu Sheng replied with a smile.

Chang Rui nodded and said: “Yes, you and I are from the same school, so we should help each other.” He smiled, and said, “The Emperor Hong went against the law and wanted to put the imperial power above us and other outsiders. It’s unbearable.”

Mu Sheng was noncommittal to the word “outsider”. Monks are different from ordinary people. If according to the past structure, the two have nothing to do with each other, but now the Taiyuan Taoist Palace is in such a mess, how can they let it go?

From Mu Sheng’s expression, Chang Rui saw her thoughts, and said again: “The current Taiyuan Taoist Palace is indeed a bit chaotic, and it will take some time to rectify the 365 Taoist palaces. But the foreign enemies have not disappeared. , is not a good time to sort out civil strife.”

Mu Sheng blinked, and asked, “What do senior brothers think about mortals entering the Tao?”

Chang Rui snorted softly and said, “How can ordinary people peep into the gate of the Dao? What kind of Dao do people with insufficient roots talk about?”

Mu Sheng laughed and said, “That’s why the Dahong Dynasty took the path of creation and used the spirit armor to enhance the fighting power of mortals. Could it be that Senior Brother Chang is so opposed because it poses a threat to monks?”

Chang Rui’s complexion changed, and he stood up abruptly. He looked at Mu Sheng and frowned and said, “Junior Sister Mu, what are you talking about?”

Mu Sheng smiled calmly and said, “How similar are the creations to the refining tools of Kyushu? Since the Dahong Dynasty has stepped out of this way, why do they still want to stop it?”

Chang Rui had a sullen face and didn’t respond. Due to his fellowship, he was not easy to get angry, so he said stiffly: “Junior Sister Mu, this is a fictitious secret place. My task is to get the map of the mountains and rivers. You can let go of other things. Think about it.”

Mu Sheng lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, pretending to hesitate, and after a long time, he followed Chang Rui’s words and said, “Let me think about it for a few more days.”

After Chang Rui left, Wen Qingchou came out from behind the screen. Looking at the teacup that was barely moved, she reached out and brushed it away, then took it away. Leaning on the pillar carved with dragons and phoenixes with arms crossed, he asked with a warm and sad smile: “Are you concerned about the friendship of the same family, are you going to give in?”

“No.” Mu Sheng shook his head and said seriously, “Even if it’s just an illusion, what I insist on will not retreat.”

“The scene outlined here is so similar to the past,” she said with a snort of warmth.

Mu Sheng raised his eyes in surprise, and asked, “What happened in the past?”

Wen Qingshou glanced at Mu Sheng, and said: “Didn’t you read the legends related to Lord Lixiao before? Haven’t you seen the battle between the gods and the immortals in the age of ignorance?”

Mu Sheng really didn’t notice those disputes, only a rather vague impression remained in his mind. Maybe it was about Zhuqin. She was very interested in things in ancient times. When Wen Qingchou spoke, she hurriedly urged her to tell the legend.

“At that time, there were only gods and mortals.” A gleam of light flashed across her warm and melancholy eyes. After staring at Mu Sheng for a long while, she recounted the past, “Yuan Qi flows between heaven and earth, and demons run rampant. Ordinary people almost It has reached a point where it is impossible to survive. In this kind of situation, after imagining gods and demons, some people have faintly touched the immortal way, and took the lead in embarking on the path of cultivating Taoism. It’s just that it sprouted at that time, similar to today’s martial arts, right? Later, someone approached the gods. It was said that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Lord Lixiao decided to preach in the world. But this decision was opposed by many gods.

“Heaven, earth, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and many powerful signs are the authority of the gods. How can they be touched by ordinary people? Under the divine way, the immortal way is not prosperous. But Li Xiaojun resisted all opinions, and the gods refused to preach, so she herself Come to pass. With the rise of the Dao in the mortal world, there are many Taoist sects. The gods saw that the Taoism of Li Xiaojun was everywhere, and they were a little anxious. They finally succumbed, holding the hope of not being left behind. Ideas began to spread in the world.” Wen Qingchou did not elaborate, the so-called “controversy between the divine way and the immortal way”, those gods actually chose to bow their heads under the coercion of force.

Mu Sheng was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and then said softly: “It is indeed similar.” Maybe the brothers and sisters didn’t think so much just for the sake of the mountains and rivers, but the concept of Taiyuan Dao Palace evolved here is definitely “Don’t allow ordinary people to get their hands on supernatural powers”, trying to block ordinary people’s way of self-improvement.

“What about Mr. Zhuyou? Why doesn’t she appear in the story? Could it be that she didn’t support preaching in the first place?” Just when Wen Qingchou thought that this matter was about to be exposed, Mu Sheng suddenly asked something that made her Also surprised by the question. She met those pure eyes full of curiosity and longing, and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. Mr. Zhuyou… Naturally, Mr. Zhuyou is not willing to preach in the world. After the birth of the immortal way, there are so many people who have entered the way. The thin inspiration in the world can’t make the immortal way go forward. But since God’s will has pushed this way, it means that someone has to sacrifice.

——The heaven and the earth are not enough for the great prosperity of the immortal way, so it is futile for you to preach like this. At worst, I will become the lower realm and eradicate demons.

— It is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself. When we return to the space between heaven and earth, Yuan Qi will be filled.

– Do you want to be moralized?

—God cannot be violated.

—I don’t believe in providence. If you insist on doing this, I will go to the people and interrupt your orthodox tradition!

——Then there is nothing left between you and me.

…

The final result is Lord Zhuyou’s submission, and with her deterrence, how can those gods who refuse to let the immortality flourish dare to disobey? The **** born of heaven and earth is Yuan Qi, even if it is beaten to pieces, it can still recover, unless it is Zhuyou Lord. Because she represents a link in the cycle of birth and death, she is tantamount to the end.

“Senior sister? Senior sister?” Mu Sheng looked worriedly at Wen Qingchou, who was absent-minded, and called out in a low voice.

Wen Qingchou was withdrawn from the memory of the past, and looked at Mu Sheng’s brows and eyes more and more softly. This was the case in the past, and it is still the case today. Thousands of years have passed, she has changed, but she has not changed. Stretching out his hand to press his temple, he said tenderly and sadly: “The legends are all about Lord Lixiao. As for Lord Zhuyou, I have never heard of it.”

“Is that so…” Mu Sheng was faintly disappointed. However, she quickly came out of the slightly depressed mood. She looked at the warmth and sorrow and said, “Brother Chang is waiting for my answer, and will not set up defenses against me. If you want to attack Taiyuan in Chilong City Now is an excellent time for the Taoist Palace to attack.” As long as you get the Taoist scriptures from this Taiyuan Taoist Palace, you will be sure to push the creation to a higher level.

“You—” Wen Qingchou suddenly looked at Mu Sheng.

Under her gaze, Mu Sheng couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy. She whispered, “Do you think I’m too ruthless and cunning?” But otherwise, no one knows what will happen in the future Variety. After getting the Taoism, let Tianjiyuan push the creation to a higher level, and then target Meng Yan who was also kicked out of the capital. She really wanted to know how Meng Yan entered this secret realm, and whether there was something harmful to her in him! Before getting an accurate answer, she felt a little restless.

Qu Yichen is the only real person in the Taiyuan Dao Palace in Chilong City, and the remaining three senior brothers are all Jindan Qi practitioners. However, in order to alleviate the burden of warmth and sorrow, Mu Sheng still pretended to join hands with them and asked them to go to the vicinity of Heifeng Mountain to eradicate demons.

In Taiyuan Dao Palace.

There is a dharma sword in front of Qu Yichen. The exercises she practiced are “Qingwei Tianleiyuzhi” and “Tianyuan Demon Slaying Sword Sutra”, which have not changed in this secret world. Suddenly, a warning sign appeared in her heart, she stretched out her hand and pressed the dharma sword, and it flew out of the quiet room like a breeze. Pressing her finger on the hilt of the sword, she frowned slightly, and said coldly, “It’s you?”

During these times, she checked the list of monks at the Jindan and Yuanying levels of the Taiyuan Dao Palace, but she didn’t see warmth worrying about them. Since it doesn’t belong to Taiyuan Dao Palace, it belongs to demons? Could it be that she was on the side of Xia Yingying from the Demon Sect? No, Wen Qingchou is not on good terms with the monks of the Demon Sect, so she won’t stand on their side. Is that because of Junior Sister Mu? She probably solved the monsters outside the city earlier, right? Qu Yichen quickly figured out the reason. She stroked her temple hair, sighed softly and said, “Junior Sister Wen and Sister Mu have a good relationship. The three younger brothers were sent away by Sister Mu on purpose, right?” Even now After breaking away from Tianyan Sect, they are all from the Taoist sect, so it doesn’t matter if they are called “Junior Sister”.

Wen Qingchou met Qu Yichen’s probing eyes, smiled, and took the initiative to take the matter to her body: “This is all my idea.” With her fingers gently stroking over “Xing Ting”, she again He said, “I heard that the Qingwei Lightning Art of Tianyan’s lineage is very good, so Wen came here today to ask for a lesson or two.”

Qu Yichen smiled and said, “It’s nothing compared to Junior Sister Wen’s Yin-Yang Wuji Jue.” At this point, Mu Sheng obviously couldn’t agree, but that’s okay, no matter which side wins, they will have a chance to get the map of Shanhe Sheji . After nodding towards the warm and sad, the dharma sword moved forward, and immediately made a trick to attract thunder, only to hear an explosion, and countless thunder lights rushed around, and the thunder light full of grand Dao rhyme enveloped the entire Taiyuan Taoist temple.

——————–

The author has something to say:

Meng Yan is dying, really dying, in this dungeon.

A very crucial plot is involved.
