"Master Hongqing, we have arrived at the Moon-Lanyue Pavilion." The little boy said, pointing to the small pavilion in front.

Fang Jian nodded towards the little boy, then bowed and said, "Thank you, fairy boy."

"Master Hongqing, what are you talking about? We have already arrived at the Moon-Raising Pavilion. I will take my leave now." The little boy said slowly.

After the little boy left, Fang Jian withdrew his gaze and looked towards the Moon-Raising Pavilion.

The next moment, a man with a weathered face, wearing a plain Taoist robe and a purple-gold wine gourd tied around his waist, walked out of the Moon-Raising Pavilion and came towards him.

"I am Situ Yao from the Shushan Sword Controlling Sect, and I would like to pay my respects to Master Hongqing." Situ Yao came in front of Fang Jian and bowed.

Fang Jian also bowed in return, then said, "Master Situ, I wonder why you invited me here?"

Situ Yao turned around and pointed to the Moon-Lan Pavilion, saying, "Master Hongqing, please come into the pavilion and chat."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and said, "Master Situ, please come in."

Then the two of them entered the pavilion. Situ Yao first asked Fang Jian to sit down, and then he sat down opposite Fang Jian.

"Master Hongqing has sent a message saying he doesn't want to eat or drink. To be honest, I don't like eating either, I only like drinking." Situ Yao said, first picking up a jade pot and pouring a cup of immortal wine for Fang Jian, then handed it to Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing, please."

Fang Jian looked down and saw that there was nothing on the stone table in the pavilion except a wine pot and two green jade wine cups.

At this moment, Situ Yao was holding a jade wine cup filled with immortal wine and placing it in front of Fang Jian. He said, "Master Hongqing doesn't want to accept bribes from me, so a glass of sake shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"That's good, no problem." Fang Jian smiled faintly, then raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's a delight." Situ Yao praised loudly, and also raised his wine cup and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

At this time, Fang Jian said, "Okay, we've had our fill of wine, so it's time to tell me what you want to see me about."

Situ Yao put down his wine cup, sighed, and said, "Actually, I came to see Master Hongqing on behalf of someone else."

"Someone else?" Fang Jian flicked his sleeves and asked, "Who?"

Situ Yao said, "Queen Qixiu of Nanzhao."

"The Nanzhao Kingdom?" Fang Jian was startled when he heard this. "Isn't that the country that the Tang Dynasty wants to send troops to attack?"

"Yes," Situ Yao said, "The reason the Tang Dynasty sent troops to attack the Nanzhao Kingdom was because the Nanzhao Kingdom killed the Tang Dynasty envoys who were traveling to Nanzhao Kingdom twenty years ago."

"..." Fang Jian was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "This is courting death."

Situ Yao sighed again, "They were indeed courting death. The Tang Empire had sent troops to attack the Nanzhao Kingdom at that time, but the Nanzhao Kingdom, together with Jiaozhi and Siam, repelled the Tang Empire's attack."

"This war lasted for five years, and all four countries suffered countless casualties." Situ Yao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he recalled the war that he had witnessed with corpses floating everywhere and blood flowing everywhere.

Hearing this, Fang Jian was a little confused. "Why did Jiaozhi and Siam work so closely with the Nanzhao Kingdom to help Nanzhao resist the Tang Dynasty for five years?"

Situ Yao said: "This is because of the current Queen of Nanzhao."

At this point, Situ Yao glanced at Fang Jian and said, "The ancestors of the Nanzhao clan were one of the first people created by the Queen Mother Nuwa when she created humans. This first group of people all received a gift from the Queen Mother.

A drop of divine blood condenses into a primordial spirit, and one is born with magical powers that are no less than those of a true immortal. If they continue to practice diligently, their strength will be further enhanced. That is why they claim to be descendants of Nuwa..."

"Heh." Fang Jian chuckled faintly and said, "The human race is all descendants of Nuwa."

"That's right." Situ Yao dropped the subject and continued, "The current Queen of Nanzhao, Qixiu, was a princess of Nanzhao at the time. She volunteered to go to Siam and Jiaozhi to send troops to aid Nanzhao."

Fang Jian asked, "What method did he use?"

Situ Yao said, "There's a sea monster off the coast of Siam. It's been haunting the shores of Siam for three thousand years, occasionally coming out to devour Siamese fishermen. At the time, the King of Siam told Qi Xiu that if he could kill the monster and help Siam conquer the sea, he would send troops to help Nanzhao."

"As for Jiaozhi, a million years ago, after suppressing the Jiaozhi rebellion, General Fubo of the Han Dynasty in the Southern Continent erected a bronze pillar in Jiaozhi, with the inscription 'Bronze pillar broken, Jiaozhi destroyed'. This pillar suppressed Jiaozhi's national destiny for one hundred and thirty years.

"For a hundred thousand years, no one had the ability to destroy it. And those who could have done so disdained Jiaozhi. So, the Jiaozhi king told Qixiu that if she could destroy the pillar, Jiaozhi would send troops to aid Nanzhao," Situ Yao recalled.

Fang Jian asked, "Did Queen Qixiu complete the matters concerning the sea monster and the bronze pillar?"

Situ Yao nodded and said, "Yes, Qi Xiu killed the sea monster personally. She was seriously injured and had to recuperate for half a year. During this time..."

Having said that, Situ Yao shook his head, smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

But when Fang Jian saw his expression, he knew that they must have been in a beautiful love relationship for the past six months.

"As for the Jiaozhi Copper Pillar, I asked my senior brother, the Sword Saint, to destroy it personally." Situ Yao said.

Fang Jian nodded, then said, "So why did you come to see me today?"

Situ Yao said, "This time, the Tang Dynasty is destroying Buddhism and consolidating its national strength. We vow to annihilate Nanzhao, Siam, and Jiaozhi with all our might. This time is different from twenty years ago. Even if the three kingdoms unite, they cannot stop the Tang Dynasty's military advance."

"Well, so what?" Fang Jian looked at Situ Yao and said.
