Chapter 80: Immortality Stone

Qi Xuansu highly praised a saying that when things come to an end, you must let go, which is also called "when things are extremely difficult, you must be bold."

This is undoubtedly a very difficult moment, and Qi Xuansu has to be bold.

In fact, it can be summarized in six words: responsible and decisive.

Qi Xuansu is not an indecisive person. He made a decision at the first time and took all the responsibilities on his own initiative.

If things succeed, everything will be easy. But if things fail, Qi Xuansu will not even have room to shirk, and it will be difficult to turn over. It can be said to be a gamble.

Qi Xuansu understood the pros and cons and made a choice.

It was late at night, and Qi Xuansu rushed to the palace of Dayu Kingdom as soon as possible. At first glance, the palace was still the same, with strict guards, all arranged by Qi Xuansu, and completely under Qi Xuansu's control.

Qi Xuansu walked through the hall and corridor all the way to the bedroom.

Shangguan Ya followed behind Qi Xuansu.

Xu Jiaorong will stay in the Water Palace, and the two first-rank spiritual officials will go to arrest Chen Shuhua. The rest, whether it is Chen Jianqiu, Chen Jiangou, or Han Yongfeng and Lu Yuting, are too weak. If something unexpected happens, they will not only be unable to help Qi Xuansu, but will also become a burden to Qi Xuansu.

The one who can really help Qi Xuansu is Shangguan Ya.

Of course, Qi Xuansu has also prepared some means. For example, the "Xirui Scripture Page". ..

In addition, Qi Xuansu has already acted boldly and doesn't care about being bolder, so he called on 8,300 ke of divine power from the reserve divine power of the Water Palace to make up the integer of 10,000 ke of divine power to prevent any accidents.

When Qi Xuansu left the outer hall, passed through the middle hall, and came to the bedroom, the bedroom was actually dark and cold and silent. Qi Xuansu flicked his fingers and re-lit the many candlesticks in the bedroom.

The lights illuminated the bedroom, and the bed was still covered with curtains.

Qi Xuansu walked towards the bed without any hesitation. Then he stretched out his hand and gently pulled open the curtain. At this moment, Qi Xuansu's anxiety reached its peak, making him tense up, as if there was a top assassin hiding behind the curtain.

However, to Qi Xuansu's surprise, there was no assassin behind the curtain, only the Lord of Dayu.

Unlike usual, the Lord of Dayu actually sat up.

I don't know if it was because of the last breath, but the Lord of Dayu looked good today, and seemed to have returned to the state when Qi Xuansu first came to visit him, at least he could speak.

"Second Master Qi." The Lord of Dayu spoke first, "Thank you for taking care of me during this period."

This was very ironic.

Qi Xuansu sent so many spiritual officials to guard here, but the final result was still a step behind.

However, Qi Xuansu did not get angry, but just asked: "There is one thing I have not figured out yet."

The King of Dayu leaned against the head of the bed, with a smile on his old and dry face: "Second Master Qi wants to know whether I was forced or took the initiative to participate in this matter."

Qi Xuansu said: "Now it is no longer a question. Judging from the attitude of the King, the King should have taken the initiative to participate in this matter, and can even be regarded as one of the masterminds behind the scenes. It can be said that the King and Chief Chen sang a good double act and deceived us all."

The King of Dayu smiled and said nothing, which was considered as tacit agreement.

Qi Xuansu continued, "You abandoned your wife and children, sacrificed your loyal servants, killed your mother, and even sacrificed yourself. What was your purpose?"

The King of Dayu asked back, "Qi Cixi is so good at guessing, can't you guess it?"

Qi Xuansu said, "It's one thing for me to have a guess, but I still want to hear it from the King himself."

The King of Dayu answered the question irrelevantly, "In fact, our brother and sister have always had a good relationship since childhood. The reason why we have to behave badly, or even never contact each other, is because only in this way can she join the Taoist sect and become a Taoist disciple. Qi Cixi just said that we played a double act, which is not wrong."

"As Qi Cixi said, I took the initiative to plan this matter, not under coercion. As for why I risked my life, there is actually only one purpose, that is, to let her go further. She has outstanding qualifications since she was a child. If she was not born in the royal family, she would have been the chief of the nine halls or the head of a place."

The "she" here naturally refers to Chen Shuhua.

Qi Xuansu said: "Just to make Chief Chen go one step further, I sacrificed my life and the lives of so many people. Is it worth it?"

The Lord of Dayu raised his head and smiled: "Of course it's worth it."

"You Taoists always say equality, but in fact you say one thing and do another. Qi Cixi, you were born in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and you have risen to prominence at a young age. You probably don't feel anything. But the royal families of us small countries feel it very deeply. The Taoists are very defensive against us. Anyone born in the royal family is labeled as 'untrustworthy' and is usually controlled and used. Except for very few cases, the so-called royal family is just a puppet in the hands of the Taoists. As long as the Taoists manage it a little more In recent years, it would not be surprising to give all the countries in Nanyang to the Daxuan court. "

"What king? Daoism can abolish or establish him at will? Even if he is a king, he has to be submissive in front of the people of Daoism. He is afraid of saying the wrong thing or doing the wrong thing. No matter how good Chen Shuhua's qualifications are, her background determines that her future in Daoism can be seen at a glance, and she will never become a Taoist master. "

"This makes people wonder, in the current Nanyang Dayu Kingdom, is it the royal family that has the final say? Or does Daoism have the final say? For the sake of Dayu Kingdom and future generations, even if I sacrifice my life, I am willing to do so, which is enough to comfort the spirits of my ancestors in heaven. "

Qi Xuansu probably understood.

The former Fenglinzhou royal family rebelled openly, and the current Dayu royal family rebelled secretly. Their purpose is the same. It is to get rid of the control of Taoism.

Qi Xuansu said: "Even if you go one step further, where can you go? The world is still the world of Taoism now. Even if you enter the realm of immortals, it will still be like this."

The Lord of Dayu laughed and said: "One immortal is not enough, then what about two? Two immortals are not enough, then what about three?"

Qi Xuansu's face changed slightly: "You are inviting a wolf into the house."

The Lord of Dayu corrected calmly: "It is driving a tiger to swallow a wolf."

There is an altar with a square tower structure under Chen Shuhua's mansion. The bottom is large and the top is small, stacked layer by layer, and it is ten feet high. There are ninety-one steps in each direction of the altar leading to the top of the altar. All the steps plus the top altar are exactly the number of 365 days in a year.

Chen Shuhua walked into the range of the altar and climbed the steps.

Chen Shuhua walked like an ordinary person, and his footsteps made a crisp sound on the steps, which was very clear and could be heard far away in the night.

After walking up the ninety-one steps, Chen Shuhua climbed to the top of the altar. There was a stone platform in the center of the place, and on the stone platform hung a diamond-shaped eight-sided stone emitting faint fluorescence. The material was almost translucent and blood-red. It was slowly rotating on its own, constantly absorbing the blood-colored breath from the altar below.

The wind rose from the ground.

Chen Shuhua opened her hands, and her crane cloak fluttered in the wind. Then she murmured: "When the sky thundered, the sky became chaos. In the thunder, there was infinite power. When yin and yang met, the flames of heaven and earth changed instantly. Changshengtian came, mastered the power, and ruled all things."

"When it came, thunder resounded through the sky, flames descended on the earth, and the scorching wind turned the creatures into corpses. The people praised it. With great power, it must control the life and death of all things."

As Chen Shuhua chanted, the blood-red stone emitted a light that seemed to be substantial, and faintly revealed the mysterious yellow air, reflecting Chen Shuhua's crane cloak into a blood-stained robe. At the same time, rolling thunder sounded between heaven and earth, and purple lightning was like long snakes passing across the sky.

Chen Shuhua's eyes became deep, like two deep wells with no bottom, but at the deepest part, there was a raging fire, as if it was going to burn all things in the world.

At some point, the night wind was no longer cool, but was replaced by a strong burning feeling, which was more oppressive than the heat of the scorching season. It was as if he was standing on the edge of a volcano, and the ice and snow melted wherever he passed.

Chen Shuhua stretched out his hand, broke through the red halo, and grasped the bright red stone that was suspended in the air.

At this moment, the veins on the back of Chen Shuhua's hand bulged and wrinkles appeared, but Chen Shuhua didn't care, letting his palm gradually dry up, like a dead branch, and slowly began to recover. If it were an ordinary person, the moment he grasped the stone, he would be firmly sucked, and then watch in despair that he was sucked dry bit by bit, becoming a skeleton. Unless he cut off his arm at the first moment, there would be no chance of survival.

Chen Shuhua held the stone tightly with one hand, and began to impose various restrictions on it with the other hand to isolate it from its terrifying suction.

The sound of thunder gradually faded away, and the light illuminated the altar again. The blood-red light gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely. The stone in Chen Shuhua's hand lost all its luster and strangeness, just like an ordinary crystal.

But Chen Shuhua knew that this was not the case.

This was not a crystal, but the famous Shamanism "Immortality Stone".

The so-called Shamanism "Immortality Stone" is a variant of the immortal medicine. This so-called immortal medicine is similar to the "golden elixir" in the Taoist classics of the Central Plains, so it is also called "Immortality Stone", "Stone from Heaven", "Stone of Life" by the Golden Tent Shamans, and is a sacred object of Shamanism.

Shamanism believes that the "Immortality Stone" is the oldest, most mysterious, and most unknown. It is the most unreasonable in nature, and it is also the eternal, blessed and sacred. Therefore, the "Stone of Life" is real, and more certain than the reality itself, and it is a mystery among mysteries.

It is the power of the eternal heaven, but it is hidden to the ignorant. It is the limit and purpose of all things under the sky, and the final and incredible result of all shaman operations. It is the perfect essence of heaven and earth, an indestructible object that cannot be damaged or destroyed, a dual and living stone with its own spirit. It is eternal brilliance, a panacea that can cure all diseases, an immortal bird that blesses the grassland, the most precious treasure of all wealth, and the most important treasure of the entire grassland.
