The taboo that covers the sky

Chapter 123: Being single is the only truth for the strong to stay strong (6K big chapter)

"Prince, the bald young monk is at De Sheng Residence."

After seeing Li Chengnian arriving, Qi Ming suddenly appeared next to him.

"Well, we have Senior Brother Lao Ming."

"Prince, what are you doing? This old man belongs to you, Prince. If you do this again, I will get angry."

Faced with Li Chengnian's politeness, Qi was obviously very angry.

"Okay, I'll remember it and I'll change it next time."

At this time, little Tingting, who had always been cute and cute next to her, struck out at the right time and said:
"Brother Nian, if I remember correctly, you said the same thing last time."

Qi Ming, who was originally satisfied with Xiao Tingting's reminder, first looked at Xiao Tingting very kindly, then stared at Li Chengnian with both eyes and said:

"That's right, Prince, don't try to fool me this time. You must ensure that you won't do it next time."

Staring angrily at the little cotton-padded jacket beside him that seemed to be leaking, Li Chengnian surrendered directly in Qi Ming's eyes and said:

"Okay, I swear, that's it."

"It's almost there."

Qi Ming nodded with satisfaction, his eyes seemed to say that he was very proud to have finally helped His Royal Highness get rid of a big problem.

Speaking of this Shengsheng Residence, it is extremely famous in the entire Divine City and even the Northern Territory. It can be called Fengyue Xiaozhu or Miaoyu Temple among restaurants.

As the first-class noble restaurant in the divine city, not only the big shots from the major holy land families, but also some young geniuses like this Shengsheng residence.

As for Deshengju's reputation, apart from its own delicious food, the more important reason is that it is actually related to a great emperor.

Yes, the reason why Deshengju became famous in the Northern Territory was directly due to the legendary emperor, Emperor Hengyu.

When Emperor Hengyu was young, he had a wide range of hobbies, and one of his two favorite hobbies was food. It can be said that the development of Deshengju to its current scale owes a lot to Emperor Hengyu. .

You must know that as a great emperor, Emperor Hengyu only needs to express that he likes the food in Deshengju. This is a great honor for Deshengju.

Under normal circumstances, not everyone can enter Deshengju. People who can eat here value not the food, but the quality.

When it comes to quality, which restaurant can compare to De Sheng Ju, which has a golden name like Hengyu Emperor.

Although Emperor Hengyu has passed away for who knows how many years, the ancient emperors will always live in people's hearts. What's more, for the sake of their ancestors, the Huanggu Jiang family will patronize Deshengju from time to time. After so many years, this Deshengju can be regarded as an independent branch of the Jiang family.

Today's Deshengju seemed a little colder. Of course, this was all just because many people were in the Jiang Family Immortal Palace.

At this time, when the spring is warm and the grass is growing, it is really relaxing to walk in the Victory Residence and smell the various fragrances.

In the courtyard, there are small bridges, flowing water, gauze and light tents, and the breeze is blowing. It can be said to be an excellent place.

But at this time, deep in the De Sheng Residence, in a quiet courtyard, a little bald head seemed to take away the color of the many beautiful scenes here.

It was a young monk who looked to be in his 20s. He was wearing an ordinary monk's cassock. There were no fancy accessories on his body. However, such a young monk with such ordinary clothes covered Victory. The beautiful scenery that has been painstakingly arranged in this quiet courtyard.

So it doesn't matter what a person wears, what matters is who that person is.

The young monk is very handsome, with a very calm expression on his face. He just stands there and does not move much, but people can feel his mysterious and ethereal feeling at the first sight of him.

It also allows people to feel his indifference and tranquility that is not visible in front of others but is always present.

This bald little monk is very beautiful. He has a pair of eyes that are as beautiful as heaven and earth. They do not contain any magazines. They are clear but bottomless.

If it weren't for his hairless hair, he would definitely be a pretty boy popular in the Eastern Wasteland and even Beidou.

Seeing the young monk who called himself Jin Chanzi again, Li Chengnian felt that he was still very good-looking and was about to catch up with him.

Of course, it is more than enough to surpass Jiang Yifei, that guy in white.

"Little monk, here I come."

Li Chengnian pushed the door open unceremoniously and looked at the little bald monk with an expressionless face. It concerned Old Man Xue. If he hadn't still had a shred of sense, the little bald monk would have definitely been arrested and endured a hundred and eight kinds of torture. Tortured.

Facing the deep eyes of the young man in green across from him, the young monk Jin Chanzi found that for the first time, he seemed to be unable to see through what a person was thinking.

Because he seemed to see a bottomless abyss in the young man's eyes. After looking at it for a long time, he actually felt like he was surrounded by the bottomless abyss.

At the same time, a strong pressure came from the unknown void, and there seemed to be an everlasting chill sweeping across the courtyard. For a moment, little monk Jin Chanzi felt as if he was about to be frozen.

saint?And he is not an ordinary saint, there is even a possibility that he is a saint king.

"Little monk, you'd better explain what you said today."

Little monk Jin Chanzi took a deep breath, bowed respectfully in the direction of the strong pressure coming from the darkness, and then said softly:
"Monks do not lie. Everything the young monk said is true. There are indeed relics of the Demon King in the Dia Desert deep in the Western Desert."

As the words fell, another wave of icy chill enveloped Jin Chanzi, making her feel as if winter had arrived in this quiet courtyard early.

"You came to the divine city for me?"

Little monk Jin Chanzi nodded and said:
"The young monk is indeed here for Benefactor Li."

Seeing that the bald young monk was quite honest, Li Chengnian continued:

"Tell me your purpose."

"The young monk is here for my teacher Sakyamuni."

Hearing this, Li Chengnian pondered for a moment and said:
"Is there any trace of your master in the ruins of the Demon King?"

According to the original work, the great monk Sakyamuni should have left Beidou by this time, so it is very likely that when Sakyamuni came to Beidou and went to the Western Desert, he discovered the ruins of the Demon Emperor. Some traces were left.

And this bald little monk accidentally discovered the ruins of the Demon Emperor in the Western Desert. This time he came to the divine city to find himself, the Demon Prince, to explore the ruins of the Demon Emperor together.

After all, this bald little monk is no better than his master Sakyamuni, who is a quasi-emperor. The many dangerous places in the world are nothing to him. As long as he does not meet the living emperor or the Supreme, he is the ancient emperor. The ruins couldn't stop him.

Even with the specialness of this old guy, Sakyamuni, as long as he is not the great emperor in his heyday, he is very likely to be able to escape.

However, for this bald little monk, the ruins of the Demon Emperor are an absolute forbidden area, so finding the Demon Prince himself is the best choice.

"Almsgiver Li has a clear lesson."

"Why, don't you have the idea of ​​​​entering the Demon Emperor's ruins and obtaining the Demon Emperor's inheritance?"

Seeing that the little bald monk still had a calm face, Li Chengnian chuckled in his heart. The relics of the ancient emperor, especially the peerless demon emperor like Old Man Xue who has left his name forever, absolutely no one in the world can remain calm. This little monk's acting skills are good.

"Amitabha, everything in this world is all about fate. The little monk who is supposed to be a little monk will not let go."

"Little monk, are you afraid that I will kill you directly, and then go to the Western Desert to find the ruins of the Demon Emperor?"

Facing Li Chengnian's smile, Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together and said calmly:

"Amitabha, since the young monk entered Buddhism, he has forgotten his own life and death. However, Donor Li needs to know that the ruins of the Demon King are protected by the formations set up by our master Sakyamuni. If the young monk dies, I am afraid that Donor Li will I will draw water out of the bamboo basket in vain, and I hope Donor Li will think twice."

"Okay, little monk, I feel it. You are still afraid of death."

Li Chengnian stood up, stared at Jin Chanzi closely, and said in a deep voice:
"Little monk, it's our first time meeting you. How can I believe that you didn't lie to me?"

"It should be noted that as the old saying goes, the intention to harm others is always present in the world; the intention to guard against others must be present!"

Hearing this, Jin Chanzi glanced at Li Chengnian subconsciously, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"The young monk is willing to swear in the name of my teacher Sakyamuni. Donor Li, is he willing to believe in the young monk?"

"Okay, then I swear it on the life and fortune of Gautama Buddha."

Although this little bald man has the same name as the monk in the classic novel of the previous life, which is not bad in the original work, Li Chengnian still said the same thing: the intention to harm others is always present in the world; you must have the intention to guard against others!

A few minutes later, Li Chengnian nodded with satisfaction:
"Now that everything is settled, let's set off in three days. Are there any questions? Little monk."

"The young monk respectfully abides by Almsgiver Li's arrangement."

Outside Deshengju, the hunchbacked old man Qi Ming and the little lolita Jiang Tingting, holding a sword, finally saw the familiar figure in Tsing Yi after declining many personal invitations from the boss of Deshengju.

"Prince, how are you?"

"It's true."

Li Chengnian nodded, and then continued:

"We will set off in three days. I'd like to trouble Brother Ming to return to Nanling and bring the Demon King Ruler to the Divine City."

"Prince, you just promised me today. You didn't say please, you just ordered me directly."

"Okay, I won't do it next time."

"Well, the prince must remember it next time."

Qi Ming nodded and then said:
"Then for the next three days, the prince remembers to stay at ease in the stone square of the Demon Emperor's Palace in the divine city. The old man will come back as soon as possible."

"Prince, goodbye."

After Qi Ming left, Xiao Tingting raised her head and said:

"Brother Nian, Tingting is leaving too."

"Ok?"

Li Chengnian said in surprise:

"Didn't Tingting say that she would be a swordsman for her brother, never leave, and always protect her brother?"

"Brother Nian, Tingting thought that Tingting was already strong and could protect brother Nian and grandpa. However, these days, Tingting found that she is still very weak."

"Tingting needs to leave, become stronger, and become stronger than those bad guys, so that she can protect her brother Nian and grandpa."

Li Chengnian rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile:
"Tingting is already very strong. She is on the fourth level of the world. She is much more powerful than her brother." The little girl closed her eyes and enjoyed the warmth of her brother's hand above her head. Then she opened her eyes and put the hand in her hand that she had been unwilling to give. The loosened Tianwen Sword hung back on Li Chengnian's waist, and then turned into that cold little loli again.

"Brother Nian, Tingting is gone, goodbye!"

Looking at the little figure who left resolutely, Li Chengnian suddenly didn't know whether he was doing the right thing or not.

In the original work, this little girl was an innocent and lovely girl. However, under her own training, she has become another version of herself. She also learned from Li Chengnian and made a sword as her weapon. The desire to kill is becoming increasingly determined.

"That's it."

With a sigh, Li Chengnian calmed down his complicated emotions and said softly:
"Where is the tenth elder? Protect my sister."

"I will obey the prince's holy orders."

In the unknown void, an old voice sounded in Li Chengnian's ears.

Actually, there is no need for Li Chengnian to worry about it. As a body of Taiyin, a peerless genius in Taoism, the elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace are called a top priority, and even the current Holy Master of the Demon Emperor's Palace, Qi Tianling, has already adjusted Xiao Tingting's level to Harmony. The Southern Demon is a level up.

But Li Chengnian felt that he still needed to express his attitude. In this way, if he really encountered a life-threatening situation, the elders of the Demon Emperor's Palace would not dare to take advantage of the situation and would only care about saving their own lives.

Late at night, in the stone square of the Demon Emperor's Palace.

As the beautiful music of the piano came to an abrupt end, Li Chengnian, who was sitting cross-legged in silence with his eyes closed to rest, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the man in blue in front of the guqin opposite.

"Yunfei, I haven't seen you for two years. Your piano skills are very good."

"Thank you for your compliment, son."

"In the past two years, I have experienced life and death, and I have gained a little understanding."

At this moment, Hua Yunfei's face that had been weathered for two years had a sincere smile. It was obvious that he was very satisfied to be praised by Li Chengnian.

"By the way, congratulations to the young master for his great achievement and his improved combat power."

Hua Yunfei could clearly feel that compared to the young man in green two years ago, Li Chengnian was now even more unfathomable. Every time he looked directly at him, he felt like a real dragon cub had descended on this world. In a real battle, he might not be able to withstand fifty moves, and this is the result of countless grave-digging and corpse-killing in the past two years.

Two years ago, when he learned that he could get rid of that once fixed fate, he put down all his self-esteem. He frantically learned knowledge about tomb feng shui to ensure that he would not die among those ancient tombs. middle.

Of course, even though he put down his dignity and bottom line, he did not touch the ancestors of Taixuan Sect, just because it was the last piece of pure land deep in his heart.

As for why he didn't hunt down the geniuses of his generation, it was naturally because the existence of the Yaoguang Holy Son's lineage prevented him from easily exposing his traces, otherwise he would definitely die.

"Why, when did you, Hua Yunfei, also learn this trick of flattering others?"

"Everything Yun Fei said was from the bottom of his heart."

Hua Yunfei hurriedly bowed.

Seeing this, Li Chengnian waved his hand gently:

"Okay, I'm just kidding you, don't take it so seriously."

"Yunfei, do you still remember the black crow I killed today?"

"Young master is invincible, you should take it for granted"

Seeing how proficient Hua Yunfei was, Li Chengnian felt a little nostalgic for Hua Yunfei, the elegant piano master from Taixuan Sect two years ago.

"Okay, okay, why, are you still addicted?"

"Sir, I."

Li Chengnian waved his hand to interrupt him, and a small golden fairway appeared in his hand:

"This is a meeting gift for you to express my gratitude for giving me the elixir in human form."

In Hua Yunfei's eyes, the golden ball was like a vast golden sun, blooming with bright golden light that illuminated the entire world.

Brutal!
Then, it seemed as if a golden crow from ancient mythology sounded in his mind!

A three-legged golden crow the size of a human head soared in the sky, the golden divine light was bright, and the vision of the sun covering the sky covered the sky, causing Hua Yunfei's mind to roar.

"Take it, it's useless to me anyway."

With that said, Li Chengnian threw the golden ball in his hand casually.

Hurriedly and carefully holding the golden ball with both hands, Hua Yunfei felt some indescribable feelings in his heart. He knew that his fixed destiny had changed since the moment the young man stepped onto the Taixuan Gate two years ago. And just one thing, the young man's kindness was enough for him to remember for a lifetime.

But now it is.
"Okay, forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law. You also know my character, but I just do it casually."

Li Chengnian smiled and said:
"If you fail to live up to expectations and die in front of me in the future, I may be too lazy to take care of you, so go for it. And there is a saying, although this black crow is not very powerful in combat, it can still be regarded as a three-legged golden crow. In terms of qualifications You are no longer weaker than those guys like Beidi, so this is an extra support from me, so that you won’t be beaten to death by those guys from Shaking Light Holy Land anytime soon.”

"Yunfei thanks you, Master."

Hua Yunfei held the golden ball in both hands and quietly watched the figure who turned around and was about to open the door and leave.

However, at the next moment, both Hua Yunfei and Li Chengnian, who had already opened the door, froze in place.

And this was just because a figure appeared in their eyes.

"I I didn't mean it...I'm sorry...I'm sorry!"

Back in time, when Li Chengnian opened the door, he was greeted by a pair of beautiful eyes, clear, bright and gentle, but also somewhat beguiling.

Then there was a familiar face - An Miaoyi.

Her skin is as white as gelatin, her facial features are delicate and delicate, her eyes are filled with autumn water, and her eyebrows are as curved as willow leaves. She is wearing a long white dress, just like Chang'e came into the world in the middle of the moon. At this moment, compared to her previous appearance in Miaoyu Temple, she looks more beautiful. It has a bit more ethereal meaning that is not ordinary.

Of course, these are not the point. The point is that this woman may have overheard the conversation between the two of them.

Under An Miaoyi's pitiful gaze, Li Chengnian lived up to expectations and immediately grasped the key points.

Immediately, the sword light shone, and before An Miaoyi could react, the long sword at Li Chengnian's waist was already unsheathed and placed on An Miaoyi's white and slender neck.

Feeling the chill on her neck, An Miaoyi slowly closed her eyes as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
"Come in."

Some time passed, but there was no pain at all. I only heard Li Chengnian's calm words ringing in my ears.

"You won't kill me?"

Feeling the chill on her neck recede, An Miaoyi asked subconsciously.

Li Chengnian really thought about killing this woman and getting it over with, but then he thought that judging from this woman's reputation above Beidou, it would be even harder to hide the news.

Although these are all trivial matters to Li Chengnian, what he fears most is trouble.

More importantly, he was about to leave the Eastern Wasteland and go to the Western Desert to find the ruins left by old man Xue. It was really not the right time to make extraneous matters at this moment.

"I let you in."

Looking at An Miaoyi standing motionless at the door, Li Chengnian had a chill in his eyes. He just didn't want to cause trouble, but if this woman really didn't understand current affairs, he would just kill her.

As if she sensed the slightest hint of danger, An Miaoyi did not dare to delay any longer and dodged directly into the room.

Li Chengnian closed the door. This time, he carefully arranged a formation restriction to isolate the atmosphere in the room. Then he turned around and found a chair to sit down.

"What are you doing here? Why didn't I feel your breath before?"

Li Chengnian was very confused. With this woman's level of cultivation, she should not be able to hide from his detection and appear quietly outside the door.

An Miaoyi glanced at the figure in blue over there unconsciously, then stood respectfully and said to Li Chengnian who was sitting on the chair:

"I'm here to negotiate a deal with you."

"You are not qualified to make a deal with me."

An Miaoyi was not angry when Li Chengnian interrupted her unceremoniously. After all, at this moment, her life and fortune were in the hands of the other party.

"As for me being able to avoid your detection, it's all because of this feather coat on my body."

Under An Miaoyi's trembling explanation, both Li Chengnian understood.

It turns out that this woman was able to avoid the detection of the two men not because she had been hiding her strength, but because of the secret treasure of Miao Yuan on her body - Fengling Yuyi.

Miaoyu Temple is one of the two major Fengyue Holy Lands in the Divine City. Although its power is not strong among the holy land families, its history is definitely relatively long.

And this Fengling Yuyi was found in a ruins by an extremely powerful Supreme Elder thousands of years ago in Miao Yuan. It can cover and isolate the breath of the person wearing the Yuyi, and it can be lower than that of a monk with a cultivation level of the Dacheng King Realm. , except with the eyes, it is impossible to perceive the breath of the person wearing the feather coat.

As for how An Miaoyi, a mere contemporary descendant of Miaoyu Temple, was able to break through the blockade of many masters in the Demon Emperor's Palace and enter the depths of this stone workshop, Li Chengnian knew what was going on without asking.

After all, An Miaoyi, one of the most beautiful women in the Eastern Wasteland, came to her prince's residence at night. The profound meaning contained in it has definitely been figured out by the masters of the Demon Emperor Palace. After thinking about it, Just pretend that you can't see it. After all, if it disturbs the prince's good deeds, I'm afraid.
In this regard, Li Chengnian felt that it was necessary to rectify the style of the Demon Emperor's Palace. He must know that singleness is the truth that the strong will always be strong, and the people in the Demon Emperor's Palace obviously don't know this truth.

"I swear, I really only put on this feather coat to avoid attracting attention. It was definitely not to eavesdrop on your conversation."

Seeing Li Chengnian deep in thought, An Miaoyi immediately spoke loudly with a chill in his heart, and then immediately raised his hand to swear.

After An Miaoyi finished her oath, she looked at Li Chengnian sincerely and said:

"You must trust me."

Although she was indeed not afraid of death, she would not be willing to die in such an unknown way.

Li Chengnian hummed softly:
"If you want me to believe you, that's fine, then."

As for Hua Yunfei over there, he had quietly disappeared in the corner. It was obvious that Hua Yunfei, like those in the Demon Emperor's Palace, did not fully understand the truth that being single was the basis for the strong.
