Chapter 772 Suspicions of the Sui Emperor, Digging Nirvana Bones Again
“Zhou Qing, we will meet again in the future.”
“I also look forward to the next exchange with Senior Wen.”< br>
Zhou Qing sent the old man out and watched him go away.
After Ming Sheng's invitation was rejected by Zhou Qing, he didn't say much. It was as if he had never said this, and he became angry because of embarrassment, which was not the case.
Ming Sheng just said a few more words, telling Zhou Qing not to be restrained when staying at All Saints Academy, and just treat this place as Xuandu Temple.
No matter what happens, he can report it to the academy, and the academy will definitely help him solve it.
He was quite kind, which gave Zhou Qing a good impression of this old man.
Speaking of which, the people Zhou Qing met after coming to All Saints Academy were all good people.
“An Lang, let’s go out!”
Zhou Qing shouted into the yard.
“Where are you going, young master?”
“Let’s take a tour of the capital city of God!”
“Come on, come on!”
We have arrived at the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty , it would be a pity not to go in and take a look.
There are still a few days before the reincarnation spring opens, and Zhou Qing cannot stay in the yard without going out.
Zhou Qing was very interested in the Taoism of All Saints Academy, which was vaguely stronger than that of Xuandu Temple, and the capital of the most prosperous dynasty of the human race.
He took An Lang out of All Saints Academy. The journey went smoothly. Although he met some academy disciples, nothing happened.
There are many disciples and elders in All Saints Academy, and no one can remember all of them. Although Zhou Qing came here for the first time, when others saw him and discovered his cultivation, they thought he was An elder I don’t know.
Just like in Xuandu Temple, Zhou Qing did not know all the sages, because the identities of some sages were not disclosed to the public.
After the news of Zhou Qing's arrival spreads, it is estimated that someone will go out to find him.
One person and one ghost are going to the capital of the gods, hoping to visit this city.
On the other side, Ming Sheng returned to the nine-story stone tower. Dean Wen was still waiting here, and he never left.
Seeing Ming Sheng return, Dean Wen hurriedly asked:
"How are you, great-grandfather? What's going on with Zhou Qing?"
"The exquisite heart with seven orifices."
Hearing this answer, Dean Wen took a deep breath.
"The Heart of the Ancestors..."
The legendary Sacred Heart of the Supreme Literary and Taoist Realm has really reappeared!
Dean Wen was excited and uplifted, as if he had seen the day when literature flourished and sages came to the world.
"Then great-grandfather, what should we do?"
Dean Wen solemnly said: "We must not give up on Zhou Qing."
"I have invited him, please He joined All Saints Academy, but he refused and did not agree."
"Zengzu, you personally invited him, but he didn't agree?"
Ming Sheng shook his head, "I didn't tell Zhou. Clear my identity.”
"If Zhou Qing is not willing, then we still have to talk to Xuandu Guan."
Dean Wen asked tentatively:
"What if Xuandu Guan is not willing?"< br>
“We can’t give up Zhou Qing.”
Ming Sheng’s answer was not what he asked, but the meaning was obvious.
Dean Wen immediately expressed his position, "Then I will immediately go to the academy to prepare for the war!"
"...This is not the case."
Mingsheng glanced at Dean Wen, you kid, you still Quite exaggerated.
You are a bit too extreme.
"I just need to have a friendly chat with Taoist Chunyang. No matter what, we can't fight Xuanduguan."
That's not to say that the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart is not worthy of All Saints Academy's full efforts, but there are many ways to fight for it. It would be too funny to start fighting directly.
This does no good to anyone, and will only hurt both sides in the end.
Moreover, the two sides are the Western Qi State Church and the Eastern Zhou Academy. If a fight breaks out, it will not only be a matter for both parties, but will involve two countries.
"Leave this matter to me. You can go down first and take good care of Zhou Qing. Don't let him have a bad impression of All Saints Academy, let alone hate the academy. Do you understand?"
< br>“I understand.”
Dean Wen promised: "I will warn everyone not to be rude to Zhou Qing. If he has any requests, I will try my best to satisfy him."
Dean Wen is so shrewd, there is no need to think about it. He knew what kind of trouble Zhou Qing might encounter in the academy.
In the past, it was just a trivial matter. He knew very well that people in the academy could not cross boundaries, and nothing would happen that would damage the friendship between the two forces, so the academy had no intention of paying attention to it.
Giving Xuanduguan a place in the Reincarnation Spring is already considered as giving face. There is no reason for me to support your disciples. I am not your vassal.
Besides, we are all the best young people and practitioners, and collisions are also a good thing.
But it's different now.
All Saints Academy wants to fight for Zhou Qing, and Ming Sheng personally wants to take good care of Zhou Qing. Then any trouble Zhou Qing will encounter in this land will no longer be a trivial matter.
Dean Wen left the stone tower, thinking about those who might have conflicts with Zhou Qing over the quota for the Reincarnation Spring, and planned to talk to their elders later.
Of course, if someone comes to Zhou Qing with the normal intention of asking for advice and discussion, there is no need to stop them. This is not a bad thing, but it will allow Zhou Qing to see the power of All Saints Academy.
And maybe friendship can emerge after the discussion?
If Zhou Qing has any needs, that would be even better, All Saints Academy will try its best to satisfy him!
Measure the material resources of a great country, and bring joy to the exquisite hearts of seven orifices!
Ming Sheng stood alone outside the stone tower, surrounded by stone statues.
These stone statues are exactly the statues of saints, except that the faces of each stone statue are faceless.
“The exquisite heart with seven orifices has reappeared. Is it really that another sage will be born?”
Mingsheng murmured to himself, unable to calm down in his heart. If a sage could be born again in this life, then maybe he could open a way for them!
But he soon thought of something else and felt a headache secretly.
"How could Emperor Sui...how could the person she was looking for be a young man like Zhou Qing?"
When he first saw Zhou Qing's face, Ming Sheng was filled with surprise.
I have seen this guy before!
For example, the Xuandu Guanzhu recognized Zhou Qing as the person painted in the portrait of Emperor Sui at a glance, and so did he.
The two are exactly the same, there is no difference at all. If you say it is a coincidence, they just look alike, but there is no relationship, who would believe it.
But who is Emperor Sui, and who is Zhou Qing? It is true that his potential is unlimited, and Zhou Qing practices normally, and the two of them may get to know each other one day in the future.
However, it is absolutely inappropriate and impossible to be related to Emperor Sui in this way.
Anyone who knows something about Emperor Sui knows that the portrait in her hand has been held for five hundred years!
A portrait from five hundred years ago actually depicts a young man five hundred years in the future?
This is so bizarre that people cannot understand it and at the same time, they are constantly speculating.
Five hundred years ago, no one knew where Zhou Qing’s ancestors were. But it turned out that Emperor Sui was looking at Zhou Qing’s portrait five hundred years ago?
It’s a bit weird.
“Could it be that he is really reincarnated?”
Ming Sheng also thought of this possibility and was greatly impressed by the complexity of Zhou Qing's identity.
The Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, Xuandu Temple, Sui Emperor, and Zhou Qing are too involved.
Masters like Ming Sheng find it difficult to handle quickly.
He clearly remembered the seriousness with which Emperor Sui asked them to search for someone more than two years ago. It was very persistent and an attitude that was impossible to give up.
What a coincidence, neither the Xuandu Temple nor him here would give up on Zhou Qing.
It is impossible for the three immortals to give up on a young man. What is this? The main one is outrageous.
When Ming Sheng first learned about Emperor Sui's search for someone, although he was curious, he actually didn't take it to heart.
The world is so big, it is too difficult to find someone, he thinks it is impossible.
But who would have imagined, this person actually appeared on his own...
After calming down and thinking carefully, Mingsheng found that he could not act like the Master of Xuandu, pretending not to know. The existence of Zhou Qing.
Xuandu Guanyuan is in Xiqi, far away from the Phoenix clan. There are almost no flaws in Xuandu Guanyuan's methods.
But All Saints Academy is in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the Phoenix Clan and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are still very close allies. People from the Phoenix Clan often come to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and enter the All Saints Academy, and vice versa.
Like Emperor Sui's new disciple, Xi, who possesses the bones of Nirvana, she has come to study at All Saints Academy more than once before.
The frequent exchanges between this place and the Phoenix Clan meant that if Zhou Qing stayed in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there would be a high possibility of being discovered by the Phoenix Clan.
The most important thing is that because the two parties are allies, the Phoenix Clan has a better understanding of the situation at All Saints Academy.
Maybe they don't know what the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart means, but they definitely know how amazing it is to cultivate Haoran Qi on their own without inheritance or teaching in All Saints Academy. They are the talents that have been longed for here.
It can be said that even if Zhou Qing does not have the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart, he will definitely be reported to Mingsheng just by cultivating Haoran Qi on his own.
Going back five thousand years, there were only two such people. Now that they appear again, they will definitely alarm the Mingsheng. There is no doubt about this.
This alone is a talent worthy of his sub-saint disciple!
If he chose to conceal it, Emperor Sui would find out that the person he was looking for had already appeared in All Saints Academy, and Ming Sheng would have no way to explain it to Emperor Sui.
You say I don’t know either?
Don’t you know this kind of gifted literary genius? Are you a liar? !
At that time, it will even affect the alliance between Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Phoenix clan. The impact will be too great and too bad.
The master of Xuandu Temple does not need to know. After all, Zhou Qing’s cultivation talent is not as important to Xuandu Temple as the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart is to All Saints Academy.
If Emperor Sui discovers it, the master of Xuandu Temple only needs to say that he has other things to do and is not at Xuandu Temple, and the people of Xuandu Temple will inform him of the matter.
Although this reason is not perfect, it can barely be explained. But Ming Sheng was not good enough. With Zhou Qing's talent, he would have to leave the seclusion immediately. If he was not in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he would have to rush back immediately. It makes no sense to say that he didn't know.
The relationship between Dong Zhou and the Phoenix clan does not support his concealment.
The Qiqiao Exquisite Heart is important, but the allies of the Phoenix Clan and the endless people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are also important.
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty was bounded by mountains and seas, but in the past five hundred years, it had never encountered large-scale demon disasters or beast tides, and the territory was peaceful.
The biggest reason for this is the support of the Phoenix clan.
If there is a problem in the relationship between the two parties, what will happen, even Mingsheng cannot imagine.
The main reason is that Emperor Sui is independent and no one can guess her thoughts.
So after thinking about it, Mingsheng knew that he had to contact Emperor Sui.
It’s hard to hide it, and he can’t hide it either.
"But informing Emperor Sui of this matter is not a bad thing for the academy."
Ming Sheng thought about it and smiled slightly.
Emperor Sui was, after all, an ally of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
As for Zhou Qing, he is not yet a member of All Saints Academy. It is foreseeable that it will be difficult to win over him.
The Academy will not give up on Zhou Qing, and the same goes for Xuandu Temple.
Ming Sheng communicates with Xuandu Guanzhu alone, and the result is unknown.
But if Emperor Sui can be added, the possibility of winning over Zhou Qing will undoubtedly be much greater.
At that time, the two of them will face the Master of Xuandu.
Now that the decision had been made, Ming Sheng did not hesitate and immediately sent a message to Emperor Sui to ask if Emperor Sui had time.
Ming Sheng did not tell Zhou Qing's affairs explicitly, but planned to inquire first to see Emperor Sui's attitude towards Zhou Qing before making a decision.
If Emperor Sui was looking for Zhou Qing with malicious intentions, then Ming Sheng would definitely conceal Zhou Qing's existence.
This is the hope of All Saints Academy. He will never allow anyone to destroy it, so he will give her a try first.
As allies, these two immortals certainly have contact information and can communicate at any time.
More than two years ago, Emperor Sui summoned all the human immortals. He first contacted Ming Sheng, and then Ming Sheng contacted Xuandu Guanzhu and others.
And the connection between immortals is very convenient and fast. Considering the distance between Dongzhou and Shanhaiguo, there is not much delay.
...
Deep in the mountains and seas, there stands a huge ancient tree that reaches into the sky and the earth.
A city was built on the ancient trees!
At the top of the ancient trees, above the city, there are several wooden houses.
This kind of wooden house is red and made of unknown wood. It exudes spiritual light and is very magical.
In a wooden house, a beautiful and noble young woman sat in it, holding her chin in trance. Her red dress was spread on the ground, as gorgeous as a blooming flower.
Suddenly, a mirror in the room suddenly shone brightly, bringing the woman back to her senses, and she looked over.
"Has anyone contacted Master?"
The young woman walked over and picked up the mirror to check.
"Senior Mingsheng asked Master if he had time. I don't know what it was about, but Master can't respond to him now..."
"Alas."
The young woman sighed. She was not Sui Emperor, but Sui Emperor's young disciple, the new generation's most powerful genius of the Phoenix clan who was born out of nowhere and possessed the bones of Nirvana:< br>
Xi.
Xi held the mirror in her hand and glanced in the direction of the wooden house in the middle, and then Emperor Dai Sui replied to Ming Sheng.
"Senior Mingsheng, I am Xi. Master is conducting a very important retreat. No one can disturb him. I can't see him. I can't deliver news to you. Please forgive me."< br>
"I will ask Master to contact you after she comes out of seclusion."
After the message was sent, Xi put down the mirror, stood there blankly, and looked at the wooden house in the middle, with a sad face and heavy worry in her eyes. .
She put a hand on her chest and felt the power under her chest, which was extremely terrifying, as if it had the power to destroy the world, and murmured to herself.
"Master, you must be safe. If it is not possible, please come out and take it away from the disciple..."
In the All Saints Academy, Ming Sheng received Xi's reply. After hearing the news, I was a little surprised.
"In retreat? No one can disturb you?"
It is normal and not unusual for practitioners to practice in retreat.
But the problem is that this is Emperor Sui, who has reached the pinnacle of this world.
Ming Sheng has been in contact with Sui Emperor many times. He himself is also in the fairyland and knows very well what kind of state the other party is in.
With Emperor Sui's current state, seclusion is meaningless. It can even be said that cultivation is meaningless to Emperor Sui.
Her realm has reached its peak. There is no way ahead, and it is impossible to break through again.
Her Taoism and martial arts, during the five hundred years of practice, have all been perfect and superb.
Even if you get new Taoism and martial arts training, you won’t have to go into seclusion, you can easily complete it.
What's more, it is a retreat that cannot be disturbed. This is serious. In the eyes of Mingsheng, this matter is also a bit weird.
As for Emperor Sui suddenly feeling something in his heart, he wanted to break the limit and take the impossible step...
Everyone said that was an impossible step to take in today's era, and Emperor Sui certainly couldn't do it.
"Retreat, retreat, Xi..."
Mingsheng thought and suddenly took a breath.
"Did Emperor Sui really take out his Nirvana bone and transplant it to her new disciple?"
Retreating to practice and recuperate, most practitioners will basically have it in their lifetime. Whether you can be disturbed or not depends on the situation.
Since Emperor Sui cannot be practicing in seclusion, there is a high probability that he will be recuperating in seclusion.
Mingsheng is very convinced that no one in the world can hurt Sui Emperor to that extent. Any fairy on the list of mountains and rivers can face Sui Emperor alone, let alone hit her seriously, without being beaten. A serious injury would be considered good.
But sometimes, the injuries may not come from foreign enemies, but may also be caused by oneself.
Ming Sheng's guess is not nonsense. As an immortal from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, he knows the situation of the Phoenix clan very well.
The Phoenix Clan’s recently introduced Nirvana Bone owner, Sui Emperor’s disciple Xi, was actually not famous at all in the past, and he was not ranked among the Phoenix Clan at all.
There is even news that before Xi was accepted as a disciple by Emperor Sui, his talent was actually very average. He was just a lucky person who was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple by Emperor Sui, let alone the Nirvana Bone.
This is what someone who once knew Xi said.
After Xi Xi became a disciple of Emperor Sui for a period of time, Emperor Sui suddenly announced that his young disciple was pregnant with the Nirvana Bone. This was confirmed by other high-level officials of the Phoenix Clan.
Then the most powerful genius of the Phoenix clan was born and shined in the world.
Xi came to All Saints Academy and borrowed some treasures from All Saints Academy. Ming Sheng met her.
Most of the treasures Xi borrowed were related to combing the body and harmonizing strength.
At that time, Mingsheng had some doubts. How could a talented person with Nirvana bones be unknown and ordinary when he was young?
How could it be possible that the talent was not discovered in the first place?
More importantly, this is not the first time that the Phoenix Clan has had Nirvana Bones since Emperor Sui!
The origin of Emperor Sui and her childhood experiences are not secrets to Ming Sheng.
Sui Di had her Nirvana bone taken away from her when she was young. She survived tenaciously, practiced all the way, and finally took revenge by killing the phoenix that had taken and transplanted her Nirvana bone.
During that period of time, the Phoenix clan's biggest civil strife also occurred. This matter caused a big fuss in the mountains and seas, and involved many demon clans, so it was impossible to keep it absolutely confidential.
At the same time, there are accurate records that show that when Emperor Sui fought with her ultimate enemy, she had a Nirvana bone on her body, and she showed her power and completely suppressed the Nirvana bone on her opponent's body that originally belonged to her. bone.
This also means that after the natural Nirvana bone was taken away, Emperor Sui's body gave birth to a second Nirvana bone through acquired practice.
Ming Sheng became an immortal much later than Sui Emperor. After he became an immortal, when he learned about it, he was amazed. He did not expect that Sui Emperor could achieve this step. This was simply a miracle.
After killing the enemy, the Nirvana Bone naturally returned to Sui Emperor's hands, but no one knew how she dealt with it.
To the Phoenix clan at that time, Emperor Sui was a god of murder, and countless phoenixes died in her hands.
Who dares to mention the nirvana bone that is the source of trouble in front of her?
But two hundred years ago, there was actually another genius in the Phoenix clan who possessed the bones of Nirvana, and he was also a disciple of Emperor Sui.
She has made great progress all the way, practicing at a speed that ordinary people cannot understand, and has reached the Daluo Heaven Realm, and is about to ascend to immortality.
The Phoenix clan is about to usher in the situation of two immortals in one clan, and it is simply a blessing from the sky.
But after word spread that the Sui Emperor's disciple would ascend to immortality, she suddenly disappeared and never appeared again.
No one in the Phoenix clan knows where she went. Maybe Emperor Sui knew, but Emperor Sui never revealed it.
Ming Sheng did not sense that anyone had caused the Immortal Tribulation at that time.
Some people even suspected that Emperor Sui had assassinated his disciple in order to go further.
And now, the Phoenix clan has welcomed the third person with the Nirvana Bone. If you include the person who took away the Nirvana Bone of Emperor Sui, then the Phoenix clan has produced four Nirvana Bones in just over 500 years. ...
This is simply unbelievable. You must know that before Emperor Sui, the Phoenix clan had not seen a Nirvana Bone for who knows how many years. It has been so long that this talent has completely become a legend.
After Emperor Sui, Nirvana Bones were born one after another. This talent was destined to become an immortal, but among the Phoenix clan, they were as common as wholesale.
This has to make people wonder where these Nirvana bones came from.
The Mingsheng had seen the disciple of Emperor Sui two hundred years ago, and he could confirm that both Emperor Sui and the disciple at that time had nirvana bones.
At that time, Mingsheng had doubted whether Emperor Sui had transplanted her first Nirvana bone into his disciples.
After all, the Phoenix clan has a criminal record in this regard. If it can be transplanted once, of course it can be transplanted a second time. This thing is too precious and has transplantation value.
As for Xi, Mingsheng has also seen her. Because the difference in realm is too big, the aura of the Nirvana Bone in her body cannot be hidden from Mingsheng. It is not the same as the disciple of Sui Emperor two hundred years ago. It is not the same.
But thinking back to that meeting more than two years ago, Ming Sheng was a little unsure whether the Nirvana Bone was still in Emperor Sui's body.
Suppose Emperor Sui really took out the nirvana bone from his body and transplanted it into Xi's body...
When Ming Sheng thought about this possibility again, he couldn't help but be speechless.
This is life-threatening. How dare Emperor Sui do this?
Who taught you to do this?
