Chapter 49 Intelligence on the Battle between Good and Evil
In the living room of Qianyang Palace, Zhou An and Zhou Lingsha were having lunch. Now, whenever Zhou Lingsha had nothing to do, she would stay at Qianyang Palace to eat. The snacks and dishes that Zhou An brought out were really delicious.
Her stomach had been conquered by Zhou An, and she repeatedly told Zhou An that she was not allowed to marry him and that she wanted to stay with her brother the emperor forever and eat for free.
After both of them had eaten their fill, Zhou An wiped his mouth and asked the maid to take the plates away before asking, "Are you satisfied now? Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, Qianjing has been very peaceful recently, and I'm not very busy. I just wanted to tell my emperor brother that the twelve red fruits you gave me have been refined into 12 bottles of red fruit pills." Zhou Lingsha smiled, but actually she just came to eat for free.
Zhou An rolled his eyes, then asked, "Have you ever eaten it yourself?"
"No, I brought it here to report to you right after I finished refining it. Be proactive." Zhou Lingsha took out a wooden box with 12 jade porcelain bottles in it.
"Eat one now and I will help you refine the pill." Zhou An said.
Zhou Lingsha looked at Zhou An in surprise, then poured out a scarlet pill and threw it into her mouth, then sat directly on the carpet.
Zhou An asked the palace maid to go out and close the door, then sat behind her and raised the Qiankun Yin-Yang Qi to help her refine it.
With the help of Zhou An's nearly two thousand years of Taoist practice, it only takes a few minutes to refine a Zhuguo Pill. Zhou Lingsha has to rely on herself to absorb the medicinal power.
After about a quarter of an hour, Zhou An finished his practice, sat down beside him, and picked up the tea to drink.
When Zhou Lingsha had finished absorbing the Vast Heaven and Earth Technique, her internal force surged. After a few breaths, she closed the skill, opened her eyes, and said with joy, "I have reached the tenth level of the acquired realm. Haha, I am also a peerless master in the martial arts world."
Zhou An rolled his eyes, walked over and knocked her head with his finger and said, "But you are so proud of the tenth level of acquired realm, you will not fly when you reach the innate realm."
"I'm only twelve years old. Is there anyone in the world with such a talent as mine?" Zhou Lingsha started to act arrogantly, her nose rising to the sky with pride.
"Okay, since you are so talented, I won't give you any pills or anything like that in the future." Zhou An said jokingly.
"No, I'm just feeling proud for a moment." Zhou Lingsha immediately came over and took Zhou An's hand and acted like a spoiled child, then suddenly leaned very close and said, "You will always be my brother. No matter what people say about you, I know you are not what they say."
Zhou An looked at the little girl, smiled and touched her head and said, "The Demon Suppression Division is now mine. You don't have to be too busy in the future. The Jinyiwei only needs to take care of ordinary people, and the Demon Suppression Division will be responsible for the monsters. If you encounter danger, you can always find the commander of the Demon Suppression Division. This Ten Thousand Monsters Token can let him help."
"Ten Thousand Demons Order! Great! Now I wonder who dares to look down on our Jinyiwei." Zhou Lingsha held the token in her hand, looking very happy. She couldn't wait to go back and brag about it. She waved to Zhou An and opened the door.
"Remember, practice the Xiantian Qiankun Jue and prepare for a breakthrough." Zhou An shouted.
"Got it." Zhou Lingsha replied, and she leaped onto the roof opposite, turned around and waved to Zhou An, then jumped away.
Zhou An smiled. He knew that Zhou Lingsha had discovered that he was Emperor Qianyuan. After all, the face could be covered, but some small movements could not be hidden. This girl was smart enough not to point it out.
She could say it because she trusted herself, which was the most important reason why Zhou An doted on her.
After dinner, he strolled to the Imperial Garden, where the archway at the entrance had been changed to "Hundred Flowers Palace".
Walking inside, thousands of workers and Baihua disciples were building the attic and garden together. The originally heavy stones, pillars and beams were easily moved by the Baihua disciples using magic, and the workers only had to be responsible for construction and carving.
In just half a month, the foundation has been completed, many buildings have already had their frames, and many flowers, plants and trees unique to Baihua Valley have been transplanted. They are all arranged according to the formations, which is pleasing to the eyes and happy both physically and mentally.
The formation of the Hundred Flowers Valley does have something in common with the Qi Men Dun Jia. As soon as Zhou An walked in here, Hua Wu Yue flew down beside him.
"I have already restrained my breath, how come you can still detect it? Is it because I haven't practiced my skills well enough?" Zhou An asked curiously.
"In the Hundred Flowers Flying Picture, there is a way to use the spirits of flowers and plants to observe the surroundings. No matter who comes in, I can sense what the flowers and plants sense." Hua Wu Yue said.
"Your painting of Flying Hundred Flowers is truly mysterious." Zhou An looked at the surrounding flowers and plants, as well as the busy workers and Hundred Flowers disciples.
"Of course, the Hundred Flowers Flying Picture comes from the fairyland. Legend has it that it was created by the flower fairy." When talking about the inheritance of his master, Hua Wu Yue showed a look of admiration.
Zhou An smiled and nodded, then asked: "Wu Yue, I came here to ask you, what do you think of this battle between good and evil? Which side has a higher chance of winning?"
“If we talk about individual strength, it is undoubtedly the demon path. Their magical powers are powerful, and many of them are not much worse than immortal treasures.
The advantage of the righteous is unity. When facing the devil, everyone will unite. In addition, there are powerful people in the righteous who can calculate and find treasures to restrain the devil. Combined with the formation, in most battles, the righteous will win.
It is still unknown what demons the Demonic Path has gathered. I cannot judge. For example, the old demon Kushan who destroyed Baihua Tower last time was already an eighth-level innate expert. You have seen the power of the Ten Thousand Bones Formation that was cultivated by a million people. If it were not for the cooperation of Taixuan Zhenren and several other elders, Qianjingdu might have been destroyed by him alone."
Hua Wu Yue showed an angry look. He was still very concerned about the old demon Kushan destroying the Baihua Tower. After all, that was the result of his many years of hard work.
Zhou An asked: "So if you fight against the old demon Kushan now, what are your chances of winning?"
Hua Wu Yue shook his head and said, "We can only protect ourselves at best. The Ten Thousand Bones Formation is too powerful, unless my Flowing Flowers Flying Formation can be perfected. I didn't care about the battle between good and evil before, but now you are the emperor. If the evil wins, they will definitely attack Qianjing and snatch the Sun and Moon Universe Pearl.
Regardless of whether we can hold on, at least all the people in Qianjing will die. It will be easy for these demons to massacre an entire city."
Zhou An frowned and said, "It seems that I can't just sit on the mountain and watch the fight. I'd better go and see this battle between good and evil."
"I'll go with you. Let's join forces. As long as we don't fall into a powerful formation, no one can stop us." Hua Wu Yue said worriedly.
Zhou An smiled and patted her hand and said, "The emperor will not participate. Only friend Zhou Nan will go. I will go to investigate the situation over there. Now we need time to develop.
You have just obtained the Hundred Flowers Flying Map and you need more time to comprehend it. Zi Yan and the other two have also been in seclusion. Only when they all reach the first level of the innate realm will the imperial palace be able to protect itself to a certain extent.
You should look after the Baihua disciples and build this place, and then we can go out and train together."
"Okay, you must be careful. Those who participate this time are likely to be demons whose cultivation is not inferior to that of the Ten Thousand Demon King. You must not force yourself to stand out. The battle will be arranged by the leader of the righteous path." Hua Wu Yue said repeatedly.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything without confidence." Zhou An said goodbye to Hua Wu Yue, left the secret passage under the palace, and appeared in Qianjing Zuixianlou dressed as the chivalrous knight Zhou Nan.
Still sitting at the edge of the balcony, he ordered a few signature dishes and two pots of Drunken Immortal Wine, took out the wooden sign given by the Drunken Taoist, activated the formation with his true Qi, and soon a mysterious light flew out, forming a mirror.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The drunk Taoist appeared in the mirror and was not drinking. Instead, he had a worried look on his face. When he saw Zhou An, he just casually responded, "I'm glad you're okay. I've been so busy lately that I don't even have time to drink."
"I just prepared a table of wine and food from Zuixianlou." Zhou An pointed to the wine on the table.
The drunk Taoist smacked his lips and showed an expression of struggle.
Zhou An asked curiously, "What kind of trouble did you run into, senior? You're not even in the mood to drink?"
"Hey, I'll come over now. Let's talk when we meet." After the drunk Taoist said this, he lifted the spell of the Xuanguan Mirror.
Zhou An put away the wooden sign and asked the waiter to bring another jar of Zuixian Wine, which was the signature wine of Zuixianlou. One jar was almost a month's income for an ordinary family.
Not long after, a streak of light flew in from the sky and landed on the balcony. The drunk Taoist walked in and sat directly opposite. He picked up the wine jug and drank half of the wine in one gulp.
When the drunk Taoist put down the wine pot, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "You should have seen Emperor Qianyuan behead five hundred monks."
"Well, people from the Zhengyi sect were also beheaded?" Zhou An asked in surprise. In fact, he had known for a long time that those who were beheaded were from small and medium-sized sects who only knew how to practice and did not understand the way of heaven.
"No, the headmaster has ordered that all disciples of Zhengyi Dao must not offend the emperor. The emperor has a strong destiny and his emperor star is shining brightly. Not only will the fortune of the Qianyuan Empire not decline, but it will become more prosperous. We cultivators must not go against the will of heaven." The drunk Taoist said, and raised his head to take another big gulp of wine.
"I hope you won't be worried about this matter, senior!" Zhou An said jokingly.
"I don't have time to care about the emperor's affairs. During this period of investigation, I found that the people of the Demonic Path have gathered eight demons. Each of them is at the level of an ancestor and has lived for more than 500 years. They are all very difficult to deal with. Moreover, even the evil path wants to unite with them. In this way, our chances of winning are less than 30%.
"My head teacher asked me to ask the Eight Ghosts for help. Those guys have strange personalities. It's no problem to have fun with them, but asking them to participate in the battle between good and evil is harder than going through the nine heavenly tribulations." The drunk Taoist sighed.
"Oh! The Eight Ethereal Monsters! Who are they? Do you want me to help you find a solution?" Zhou An asked.
"The Divine Beggar, Lord Longyang, the Gambler, the Zither Fairy, the Chess Saint, the Book Fairy, the Painting Demon, and the last one is me." The drunk Taoist laughed at himself, leaning back on the bench and drinking.
Zhou An's eyes widened in surprise, then he laughed and said, "This is interesting. I wonder if money can deal with them?"
"Hmph, forget it. Apart from gamblers, no one else can be dealt with by your money." The drunk Taoist shook his head.
"Judging from their names, they should have their own obsessions and hobbies, which is why they are called that," Zhou An asked.
"That's right, the Godly Beggar loves to eat, the Gambler loves to gamble, but they are always short of money. The Fairy of Zither is obsessed with playing the Zither, the Chess Saint loves chess, the Book Fairy and the Painting Demon are not human, they like to collect calligraphy and paintings, and hide in calligraphy and paintings all day to comprehend the truth in them.
Finally, Long Yangjun is extremely infatuated, and he is also the leader of the Eight Monsters. He is also the most accomplished, so I don’t need to say anything more.” The drunk Taoist said.
Zhou An laughed and said, "Then I am very confident. As for Long Yangjun, I will know after I meet him."
"Really?" The drunk Taoist showed a surprised expression.
"Of course." Zhou An smiled. The system space was filled with rare treasures obtained by signing in, and now they could be put to good use.
"Okay, haha, you are really this old Taoist's lucky star. If you succeed this time, this old Taoist will definitely give you a big gift." The matter was settled, and the drunk Taoist was happy. His appetite was great, and he drank and ate food with big gulps.
