Half-Yokai Cultivating the Path of Immortality Chapter 718: Heart Lake
"Meet the King!"
In the Purple Air Palace, Xiao Longting knelt on the ground and prostrated deeply.
Lu Tong sat on the couch, smiling, but his smile was a little bitter.
Xiao Longting spent nine years in seclusion, single-handedly depleting the energy of the Three Treasures offered by the Xu Kingdom every year.
Fortunately, the hard work was not in vain.
"Finally a breakthrough."
Xiao Longting's mind was agitated, his magic power flowed violently, and a strong wind blew up in the palace.
"Xiao Longting will remember the kindness of the king and never forget it forever!"
"Get up."
Xiao Longting suddenly stood up.
After breaking through the Nascent Soul, the armor and stomach that were previously worn around the body were taken off, revealing a lean, rugged, narrow face that was very stubborn at first glance.
Lu Tong nodded slightly and said, "What method are you going to practice in the future?"
"I want to switch to the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra."
Lu Tong took out the Nascent Soul Realm Dharma of the "Neither Human nor Demon Sutra", and after thinking for a while, he took out a jade slip.
"This is the method of the Nascent Soul Realm, as well as the Snow Donkey's method of transforming into a demon."
Xiao Longting's eyes widened and he said: "Snow, snow donkey?"
Lu Tong rolled his eyelids, handed over the method, and said: "The strange beasts in ancient times have long since disappeared. If you don't think it sounds good, you can change it to another name."
"Yes."
When Xiao Longting heard "ancient strange beasts", his surprise was quickly washed away by joy.
Lu Tongtong: "Ji State has annexed Jianze State and its strength has greatly increased. It will definitely be our life and death enemy in the future. This beast's magical power is especially able to restrain ice and snow, so it must be used wisely."
"Yes."
……
In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.
In the Purple Air Palace, Lu Tong gathered his magic power and murmured: "The baby is born."
Solid Infant, the surface of the soul is solidified, forming a thin film similar to the skin of the physical body.
He raised his palm.
Putting the five fingers together, the Yuanying in the soul space closed their fists together. The spiritual energy within a radius of more than ten miles inside and outside the hall quickly gathered and poured into the palms.
"Hoo!"
He took a breath, calmed down, and continued to practice.
Late at night, a figure escaped into the temple.
"Master, there are eighteen people in the Bu family who have cultivated to the perfect state of foundation building, and they can try to condense the elixir at any time."
"Take them to Niuguan at midnight tonight, and someone will take them into battle."
"Understood."
……
"Your Majesty, the new capital has been built, when will the capital be moved?"
"As soon as possible."
"Yes. Palace Master Yun Ao suggested that the new capital should still be called Yuanxiang City and the old capital should be changed to Pingfeng City. This way, there is no need to notify other countries and there is no need to change the name of the capital in various books."
"Yes."
Colorful clouds rise, and precious chariots cross the sky.
Countless vehicles, horses, boats, etc. moved all the way east towards the new capital.
Inside the Purple Air Palace.
Lu Tong spread out his magic power to cut off the connection between the three halls of Ziqi, Qiuyin, Xuanyang and Chengchun Tongying Formation. He flew out and turned into a blood cloud to roll up the three halls.
"When the king travels, all living beings will avoid it!"
Several hundred demon chariots flew away, driving away the flying chariots and shuttles along the way.
Yuanxiang City.
The city is divided into two sides. On one side is the inner city. The city is full of green mist and clouds. There are pavilions and palaces floating in the clouds that shine with Dharma light.
On the other side is the outer city, which is located outside the mountain with countless pavilions surrounding the mountain.
Between the inner city and the outer city is a lake. The water in the lake is made of three layers. The top layer is colorless and transparent, the middle is light green, and the bottom layer is dark blue. The surface of the lake is calm, without a trace of water, like a pool of solidified gum.
A red cloud flew across the sky.
In the streets and pavilions of the outer city, there were sounds of roaring mountains and tsunami: "Greetings to the Lord of the Kingdom!"
There is a hill less than a hundred feet deep in the clouds and mist of the inner city.
The milky white hill is like jade, with four cracks split from top to bottom, and strands of spring water mixed with white, green, blue and other colors seep out of the cracks.
Beside the hill, there are several palaces in the shape of dragons, phoenixes, dragons and salamanders. There are three clouds in the center of the palace complex.
The blood cloud fell, and Zi Qi, Prison Yin, and Xuan Yang fell into a cloud of mist respectively.
Lu Tong calmed down the blood cloud, regained his figure, and looked at the surrounding springs, palaces, and spiritual clouds.
Everyone accompanying them fell down one by one.
Zhang Qiao said: "Your Majesty, this is the center of the spring. In addition to the three palaces of Purple Qi, there are also thirty-six palaces such as Thunder Dragon, Fire Phoenix, Golden Jiao, Jade Salamander, and Blue Bird."
"Not bad."
"Downward is where the Quanhe River is. Along the way are the Six Halls, the Qiangwu Tower and the palaces of Baishan, each pool and each tower."
"Yeah."
"Below are the eight surrounding hills, on which seventy-nine cave dwellings have been opened. On the inside of Yuhu Lake outside the mountains, there are also 360 superior mansions opened."
Lu Tong withdrew his gaze from a distance.
After several years of cultivation in the Qing Dynasty, my mind has gradually calmed down, and I no longer feel the joy of just annexing the Xuelian Kingdom.
"Does the cave or the mansion have an owner?"
"No, the inner city will not be opened until the king moves in."
The eyes of several people around him were downcast.
Jue Tianniu, Liu Jixin, Qin Zong, etc., each of them met some acquaintance who came to ask for a mansion in the inner city.
Lu Tong pondered for a moment and said: "The caves and mansions in the inner city are not allowed to be sold. The order is passed down. Only those who have made great contributions to the good demon and the country can move into the inner city."
"Master, how do you evaluate your great achievements?"
"Surrounded by foreign enemies and not yet strong in national strength, if you want to make meritorious deeds, are you afraid that you won't have the chance?"
Lu Tong turned around and entered the Purple Air Palace.
Zhang Qiao and the people next to him looked at each other and said, "Yes."
……
"Master, the young master is back!"
In the hall, Lu Tong opened his eyes, his eyes were very calm without any waves.
The road is empty and quiet.
This time I refine the precious energy given by the True Lord. I live in peace and quiet every day. I am rarely disturbed by outsiders and foreign affairs. I practice in seclusion every day and inadvertently create a calm "inner lake".
Quietness can explore all things.
Yin and Yang change, and the four seasons flow, from all phenomena to all opportunities. Only after the inner lake is at peace can we stand in heaven and earth.
"Bring him in."
The sound was calm, without any fluctuation, like a gust of wind blowing across the water without causing any wrinkles.
The little blue bird couldn't help but calm down.
"Yes."
After drinking tea, Xiao Qingniao led two people into the Purple Air Palace.
"Meet Father."
Lu Tai bowed and saluted.
After traveling for more than 20 years, his appearance has not changed much, but his temperament has become completely different. His bookishness has disappeared. He looks very calm and honest, but also vaguely dull.
Not like the son of a king, but like a farmer growing crops.
Lu Tong nodded slightly and said: "Very good."
Lu Tai looked at the woman next to him and said, "Father, my son met my concubine in Shanglin Kingdom. We share the same mind and have become husband and wife. Please forgive me, father."
"The king hired a concubine to meet his father."
Lu Tong looked sideways.
The king's concubine has big eyes, thick eyebrows, and a very heroic appearance.
When he saw it for the first time, he immediately thought of Wanxi and Wanyi. The ancestors all had this look.
"Very good."
Lu Tong's heart still remained unmoved.
The wind keeps blowing and the water keeps flowing. Things in the world are ever-changing, and change is also a part of nature. The king's appointment as a concubine is just one of them.
Over the years, he has realized what his path is: keeping quiet and adapting to changes.
Lu Tai said: "Father, is mother okay?"
"Not so good."
"Father, I want to take my concubine to see my mother."
"Go ahead."
Lu Tai and Wang Pinfei resigned together.
Lu Tong sat alone for a while, exhaled softly, and said: "Little Bluebird, go call Wangqiu, Ji Baobao, Zhiguan, Xuxing, and Azhuang, and ask them to come over immediately."
"Yes."
Half a day later, Wang Qiu and others arrived one after another.
"Senior sister, what happened?" Ji Baobao asked.
Wangqiu shook his head slowly.
She arrived first and waited for nearly two hours. The longer she waited, the worse she felt.
Lu Tong walked out of the hall, looked at a few people one by one, and said, "Let's go to Shu Kingdom with me."
"Yes."
……
The world of gods.
Yuchao sat cross-legged under the tree, a beam of colorful light emitting from his eyebrows.
"Senior brother."
Lu Tong landed next to him, looked into the darkness under the tree, and said, "Tail went in?"
"Well, it's been almost an hour."
"Thank you for your hard work, junior sister."
Wangqiu lowered his head, his eyes quickly turned red, and he guessed something in his mind.
"Master's wife!"
Zhi Guan suddenly roared, rushed past Lu Tong, and fled to the darkness under the tree.
The jade tide immediately exuded divinity and turned into a stream of water to protect Zhiguan.
After half a breath, Da Zhuang also rushed down.
Lu Tong, Wangqiu, Ji Baobao, and Xu Xuxing stood under the tree together.
Lu Tong looked calm, but ripples kept rippling in the calm inner lake he had just cultivated.
Madam Ninth is leaving soon.
The only thing she cared about before was Lu Tai. Madam Ninth had been worried about her and never dared to let go. For this reason, she would rather suffer the torture of deathly silence and boredom.
This time Lu Tai has made great progress and does not need anyone else's protection.
Mrs. Ninth no longer has to worry or suffer.
"Master."
Wangqiu shouted softly.
Lu Tong looked sideways and said, "What's wrong?"
"No, is there no other way?"
Wangqiu is usually very cold, but at this moment he is the saddest, his eyes are red, and his lips are trembling uncontrollably when he speaks.
Lu Tong raised his hand and patted Wangqiu on the head.
"Don't be afraid, you will have no regrets when you are alive, and you will have no fear when you die. Many people will have this day."
Wangqiu lowered his head.
Baobao Ji and Mrs. Jiu do not have a close relationship, and they have seen many dead people in the fight all year round. They are not too sad, but just a little depressed.
She looked at Xu Xuxing and said, "Aren't you going?"
Xu Xuxing kept frowning, showing no sadness, as if he had encountered a trouble that was difficult to solve.
"Humph."
Ji Baobao snorted and said, "You were taught by the master's wife herself, and you, the master of the palace, were given by the master's wife."
Xu Xuxing pursed her lips hard, and two veins popped out of her temples.
"Okay."
Lu Tong looked under the tree.
After burning the incense, Lu Tai, Wang Pinfei, Zhiguan, Da Zhuang, and several water people escaped together.
Lu Tong is ready to go down.
Before he even moved, he shrank when he saw the orb in Lu Tai’s hand.
"Winter!"
It was as if a huge boulder had fallen, exploding a raging wave of water in the calm lake.
A group of people flew out.
Lu Tai's eyes were red, he was holding a blue orb and said: "Dad, mother is gone."
"Huuwuwu..."
Zhi Guan and Da Zhuang let out an unusually dull growl.
Lu Tong stared at the orb, unable to calm down for a long time.
Already gone.
He originally thought that Madam Ninth would spend her last days with him after meeting Lu Tai.
Yuchao noticed something, waited for two breaths, and saw that Lu Tong remained motionless for a long time, and said: "Brother, my condolences."
"Yeah."
Lu Tong kept looking at the orb, trying to read Madam Ninth's last thoughts from the orb.
"Master."
Wangqiu also shouted.
Lu Tong withdrew his gaze, glanced at several disciples one by one, nodded slightly, and said: "Tai'er, follow me."
"Yes."
Lianxin Palace.
Lu Tong and Lu Tai sat in the bright light, with a blue orb hanging between them.
Lu Tongtong: "What did your mother say?"
When Lu Tai thought of Madam Ninth, she immediately shed two lines of tears and choked up: "My mother said that she said I was not living up to expectations and it was all my fault that she suffered so much."
Lu Tong felt hurt and suddenly understood something.
"What else?"
"My mother did it all for me. I was too cowardly, so my mother had to stand in the way. I won't fight, and my mother has to fight for me. If it weren't for me, my mother wouldn't have suffered so much, nor would she Let’s go.”
"Hey."
Lu Tong sighed, looked at the orb, and murmured: "Jiu'er, you are so cruel."
Rather than comforting Lu Tai, Mrs. Ninth kept complaining, just to force Lu Tai to fight and rob with her own life.
And he...
Lu Tongtong: "Did your mother leave any words for you to tell me?"
Lu Tai sobbed a few times and said: "My mother said that if you are sorry for her, she will not forgive you. She will hate you even after death and departure."
Lu Tong's heart tightened, as if someone had pinched him.
"What else?"
Lu Tai gradually stopped crying, shook his head and said: "They are all complaints."
"It's okay, if you complain, just complain."
Lu Tong raised his hand to hold the orb, his palms slightly cool, as if he had caught Madam Ninth again.
Lu Tai said intermittently: "Mom said that my father was heartless and unjust and used her all his life. When he found a new love, he locked her in a water coffin..."
After a long time, Lu Tai sobbed twice and said, "Dad, what mom said were all angry words."
Lu Tong kept looking at the orb in his palm.
Not only did Madam Ninth force Lu Tai~IndoMTL.com~, she also forced him, deliberately not meeting her, and complaining a lot, all to make him feel guilty and regretful.
He looked at it for a long time, sighed, and said: "I know, go peacefully, I will give you an explanation."
Both father and son fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Tong pushed the orb over and said, "Your mother gave it to you, you keep it."
"Yeah."
"Don't let down your mother's hard work."
"Yeah."
……
Inside the Purple Air Palace.
Lu Tong was sitting on the couch, with no expression on his face, and a black cloth strip and a white cloth strip wrapped around his arms.
Mrs. Ninth is gone.
The inner lake has turned into a pool of stagnant water. The waves have subsided, but the calmness has been impossible to find for a long time.
"Meet the King."
Zhang Qiao whispered greetings.
Lu Tong sat for a while and said: "Tai'er is back. I'm going to let him be the tower master. Which tower in the country is the most difficult to control?"
"Shangfeng, Mingqian, Weifeng, etc. gathered in the pool. There are many descendants of the Ni family gathered there who have been disobedient to discipline over the years."
"Let Tai'er go."
"Yes."
After Zhang Qiao agreed, he hesitated and said: "The appointment of the tower master has always been the responsibility of Palace Master Xu. Do you want to tell Palace Master Xu that he is the king of the country?"
"As you wish, step back."
"Yes."
Lu Tong sat alone for a few breaths and said, "Little blue bird."
"Here."
"Pass a step forward."
"Yes."
Half an hour later, Bu Shefeng entered the palace and said, "Meet the Lord."
"Is there a marriageable woman in the Bu family?"
Bu Shefeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked overjoyed. The next moment he saw the black and white strip of cloth on Lu Tong's arm, he quickly regained his joy.
"Yes, there are many descendants of the Bu family, and everyone knows the book and is polite..."
"Screen a few people carefully."
"Yes!"
