The Dream of Jade Mountain

"Kunlun wants to use Beitian Twelve Cloud Continents to invade the fairy world?"

"Is there really such a thing?"

"I didn't expect that the unbounded covenant made by the immortal emperor ten thousand years ago was still broken."

"I heard that Kunlun has recruited King Nether to be an ally this time, and they will march to the boundary of Yunzhou together."

"Why did the Nether King get involved? Yunzhou doesn't border his territory."

"The Nether King didn't want to get involved, but Kunlun promised him five cloud continents. Moreover, Kunlun has assigned the Huanxin to the Nether King, and the two parties are married."

"Phantom? Is it the sister of King Kunlun?"

"I heard that she has a beautiful appearance that no one can match, but I didn't expect to marry the Nether King. It's a pity."

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. The Nether King is also very handsome, and the two are a perfect match."

"He is coming to meet the Immortal Venerable in the near future. I don't know why he is here?"

"It's not a few days ago, it's today. The immortal will meet him in the back garden of Yaochi." All the immortals looked at the person who spoke, who was Lin He's waiter next to the immortal. "The immortal said, if Yunzhou really fights , it is not good for all parties, so I invite Nether King to come, hoping to persuade him to withdraw peacefully."

……

In the back garden of Yaochi, the Immortal Venerable frowned, he didn't want the Immortal Emperor's unbounded agreement to be broken with him.However, Kunlun has always been worried about his status as a banished immortal ten thousand years ago. After all, Kunlun has grown stronger in Beitian for thousands of years, and has formed a threat to the fairy world. The ethnic group, there is nothing to do, and they dare not do it. Nowadays, the Kunlun clan is basically half-god and half-demon, and it is no longer the Kunlun of the past.

As for the Youming family, they have never had any contact with the fairy world, and they have no grievances or enmity. The Netherworld itself has continued internal strife, and the chaos in the Twelve Mansions has not subsided for a long time. The soul of the palace king is still panting in the Nether River. It's unreasonable to expand the territory, and even if you want to expand the territory, you should covet the East China Sea Xiandao and Xiniu Hezhou, and you can't see Beitian Yunzhou.

The more Xianzun thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When Lin He's waiter attracted Yuan Jiuya, Xianzun had received all the guesses and doubts in his eyes, looked at Yuan Jiuya with a smile, and only said "Welcome Your Excellency" on his face.

Yuan Jiuya's face was indifferent, as usual, as if he was wearing a natural mask, the immortal could not see a trace of emotion on his face, and when he looked into his eyes, it only said, what is the immortal looking for me?

"The Nether King is really handsome, and he and the Kunlun Celestial Girl are a perfect couple."

"If the Immortal Venerable is here to persuade me to quit, then please be ashamed of your words."

"Huanxin has a handsome appearance, but in the eyes of the fairy world, she is not considered a beauty."

Yuan Jiuya picked up the teacup in front of him, and the lid of the cup lightly bumped against the edge of the teacup, noncommittal.

"And I heard that Huanxin has an extremely stubborn personality and is not easy to get along with."

silence.

"If I want to make a wish with the three fairy islands in the East China Sea, would King Nether be interested?"

"Hahaha" Yuan Jiuya burst out laughing suddenly, "The Immortal Venerable is just joking, the Immortal Venerable abided by the unbounded agreement of the Immortal Emperor back then, which is why he has been arguing with Kunlun for so long. Not to mention the land of the fairy world, I am afraid that the immortal will not give in, how could he suddenly allow me three fairy islands in the East China Sea? Immortal, you are making fun of me."

Xianzun didn't change his face, he was indeed just probing, and it was within his expectation that Yuan Jiuya would see through him.

Yuan Jiuya didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly he sighed deeply, his breath was a little unstable, the immortal looked at him, and felt that something was wrong, yes, the face of the person opposite was still handsome, but his face began to turn pale, and the sigh seemed to be Involved in the inner breath.

"What's wrong with you?" Xianzun leaned over.

Yuan Jiuya's breathing became heavier and heavier, and he gasped and said, "I'm not afraid of the fairy's joke. I didn't want to come to today's appointment, just because I was infected with ice inflammation, and it happened on the first day of the new year. The disease was almost under control. , In the past few months, for some reason, it suddenly became worse..." As he spoke, his complexion became more and more ugly, and his hands were supported on the stone table, exhausted.

Seeing this scene, the Immortal Venerable was very puzzled. He did not expect to suffer from such a strange disease of alternating cold and heat all year round after living in the Netherworld.

The Immortal called Lin He's servant, "Take Nether King to Zhiju for a rest, don't let outsiders disturb him, and don't mention it to others." Lin He took orders to help Yuan Jiuya to Zhiju, where there are few people. It was very clean, Lin He's attendant Fu Yuan Jiuya was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt woven by Qixia Palace, poured tea and put it on the small table beside the bed, leaving two maids outside the screen, and was about to close the door and go out.Yuan Jiuya supported himself to sit up, and said, "Don't bother the maid, I want to rest alone, okay?"

The waiter Lin He said, "I'll leave them outside the door, call them if you have anything to do, I'll go to the Immortal Venerable to report back, and I'll come and see you later."

Yuan Jiuya breathed weakly and said, "It's time to work, thank you, you don't have to worry about me, I'll just take a rest."

The waiter Lin He nodded slightly, closed the door and went out.I can't help but sigh in my heart, the majestic Nether King has such a strange disease, and he looks dying at this time, so there is no trace of the Nether King's prestige. Lin He thinks that this Nether King is no different from other people who get sick, and now he lives as a guest. Immortal world, when he came here, he didn’t bring a single soldier. It’s not nice to say, he looks like any mortal can stab him down with a single sword. Seeing the Nether King who has become weak in an instant, Lin He is surprised. It was a trace of sympathy.

Lin He left Zhiju, crossed Yunlian Bridge, and walked to Mingxiu dressed in silver from a distance. Lin He bowed: "Mingxiu Shangxian."

"By the way, Lin He, I heard that King Nether has arrived in the back garden of Yaochi, do you know how the conversation went?"

"How do you know this? It's estimated that we won't be able to discuss it for a while. Don't worry about it, Shangxian. When there is a result, I will inform the immortals. I will leave first."

When Mingxiu returned to Bixiao Palace, Qianyin had already moved back to his mansion, and the maid followed him back, and suddenly felt that Bixiao Palace was a little deserted.

When I came to the backyard, the hibiscus was still in full bloom, but there was a person standing under the tree, looking at his figure, "Is it the immortal?"

"I heard that the hibiscus flowers in your garden are blooming just right, so I'll come and have a look."

Mingxiu didn't expect the Immortal Venerable to arrive, so he was a little surprised, but he also asked bluntly, "Isn't the Immortal Venerable discussing with the Nether King? Seeing that the Immortal Venerable is refreshed, then the Nether King agrees."

Xianzun looked at him and said with a smile: "Everything has its own destiny, so don't rush for a while."

Ming Xiu said, "If there is something that I can do my best in the matter of the Nether King, the immortal may as well tell me that the safety of the immortal world is duty-bound."

Xianzun suppressed his smile, looked at him, and said, "Mingxiu, can you move to the study?"

Mingxiu gave the immortal to the study room, made tea, and heard the immortal speak slowly, "Mingxiu, when did you leave the fairyland recently?"

Ming Xiu said, "Immortal Venerable, the mortal world is peaceful, I haven't left the fairy world for a long time."

"Then do you remember the last time you went to the mortal world, what alias you used, and what kind of face you used?"

"Well, the last time I went, I went to kill the river demon in Mingzhou City a long time ago. I remember that the alias Zongguang used the face. This, every time we go to a place other than the fairyland, our faces are random. I really can't remember."

"Have you ever been drunk in the mortal world?"

"Indeed, last time in Mingzhou City, after the death of the river demon, the local people cheered and drank all night, until they were so drunk that they passed out."

"During the drunkenness, the immortal power fades away. Have you ever used your true face?"

"Why did the immortal talk about the old things in Mingzhou today? Has the immortal forgotten? The immortal has cast mana at the enchantment of the immortal world. As long as we step out of the immortal world, no matter where we go, our appearance will change randomly. People see the true colors of our immortals."

The immortal said thoughtfully: "Then I can rest assured." Then he took out a kit bag from his sleeve, opened it, took out a circle of thin thread, and handed it to Mingxiu.

Mingxiu held it in his hand and looked at it, and said to himself, "What is this? This... seems to be the bamboo thread of mottled bamboo."

"Do you recognize this thing?" The Immortal Venerable looked at him with earnest eyes, making Mingxiu feel a little dazed.

"I don't know." It was still a calm voice.

"Look again, really, don't you know?"

"This bamboo thread is so smooth that it can almost be used as silk thread, but I haven't seen it before, so I don't recognize it."

Immortal Venerable pulled Mingxiu's sleeve, put it in his ear, and said softly, "I'm here today, don't let outsiders tell you."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Mingxiu only heard him sigh softly.

I couldn't help asking, "Xianzun, should I recognize it?"

The figure of Xianzun has drifted away.Mingxiu stood in the backyard, looking at his background, the hesitation in his heart was like hibiscus petals, overlapping.

The Zhiju courtyard was peaceful, and the maid stood outside the door, not daring to go in and disturb her.

The waiter Lin He opened the door and walked in, calling softly, "You Hades, are you feeling better?"

The green gauze curtain was put down, and Lin He gently lifted the curtain, and there was a quilt woven with brocade, and there was no one on the bed, except for a coat. "Ah! Where did people go?"

The servant girl ran in three steps and two steps after hearing the voice, tears were about to come down before she could speak, "Servant Lin He, we, we haven't left for half a step, we have been outside the door all the time."

Lin He glanced back at the two honest girls, with grievance and fear written all over his face, and he didn't want to talk too much. As he walked to the back garden of Yaochi, he thought about how to explain to the immortal.

Seeing the background of the Immortal Venerable from a distance, holding a chess piece with his fingers, and tapping on the table lightly, Lin He lowered his head and reaffirmed his footsteps, "Going?" "Huh? Yes, I will back out after I settle him down." , Walking around Zhiju, the girl at the door of the room did not leave an inch, and after about a cup of tea, when I went back, she disappeared out of thin air." Lin He finished speaking, holding out the robe of Nether King with both hands , raised his head, looked at Xianzun, then lowered his head again.

The Immortal Venerable approached, stroking the black satin and silver silk robe, which was shining brightly, and said to it, your master has already returned, so you can go too.The robe instantly turned into dots of silver light in Lin He's hands, and disappeared into nothingness.

With a calm face, the Immortal Venerable walked slowly to the jade railing, looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds, and sighed silently in his heart, he was not for the illusion, if it was for the illusion, he would definitely not allow me to say that the illusion is not good , he is not for Yunzhou, he has no interest in the fairy islands of the East China Sea, let alone Yunzhou, which is almost outside the fairyland.Yuan Jiuya, you just pretended to be sick and left, so why did you come here, and what exactly do you want.
