Chapter 402: The Emperor and the Taoist, the Taoist's Merit!

"This... Hey, during the war, the Emperor spent a lot of money."

"It's a pity that I have always been upright and incorruptible, but I don't have much savings. Otherwise, I should bear part of the expenses for holding the Limit Breaking Ceremony."

"Please ask Fellow Daoist Lin Luo to report to the Emperor that the coronation ceremony of the National Master should be kept simple and not wasteful, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Yi Chen glanced quietly at Fellow Daoist Lin Luo's purple stockings in front of him and immediately replied in a serious tone.

Lin Luo's eyes flickered. Having dealt with Yi Chen for a long time, she instantly extracted the key points of his words: they wanted to be extravagant and wasteful, and make the scene bigger. The family of Yinlong Temple was poor, and Master Yi could not afford the money.

However, Lin Luo didn't care about it. She smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Taoist priest? If my Great Qin welcomes you as the national teacher and the event is shabby, wouldn't people laugh at us if they see us?"

"As for asking the Taoist priest to pay out of his own pocket to subsidize the part, it is even more nonsense. Please do not mention this matter again."

"It's just a pity for Lin Luo. Considering the friendship between me and the Taoist priest, this time her wallet will bleed a lot."

At this moment, the purple-haired girl actually started making jokes, which made Yi Chen couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the tall and handsome face of the burly Taoist priest, Lin Luo couldn't help but be slightly moved.

"When you meet a bosom friend, a thousand cups are not enough; when you are not on speaking terms, a single word is too much. The Taoist priest and I hit it off right away. Although Lin Luo had said at that time, 'I feel you are not an ordinary person, but I can make love with you like a dragon within my reach', this day has come sooner than Lin Luo thought."

"A few days later, the Taoist priest became the National Master, and his rank was higher than Lin Luo's."

"The difference in their cultivation levels is even greater. The Taoist priest took a blow from the reclusive cultivator Qian Xuanzi from Mount Longhu head-on, and he was not hurt at all. It's really shocking."

Just as Lin Luo was speaking, a big hand suddenly rested on her shoulder:

"What rank or no rank? Fellow Daoist Lin Luo is kind-hearted and has helped me a lot. He must have also helped me secretly and prevented me from getting into trouble. Please don't say such things anymore."

"Otherwise, you don't consider me your friend."

“As for cultivation, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time, or tell me my name. There are not many people who dare not give me face now.”

With Yi Chen’s current level of cultivation, there are not many things that can be difficult for him to deal with.

What some people consider to be an insurmountable mountain of fire can, in Yi Chengzi's eyes, be extinguished with just a pee.

This is the current value of his Pure Yang.

"The Taoist priest always puts loyalty first when doing things. Even if the status of old friends is very different now, they are still equal. Lin Luo can naturally trust the Taoist priest's character."

There was a crisp sound like pearls falling on a plate, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

I don't know who took a step forward or who took a step back. At this moment, the two of them stood side by side, riding the wind, looking down at the mountains and rivers from the vast sky.

Beautiful mountains and beautiful waters are all in sight.

The white clouds around them kept retreating, crossing the Xianjie Mountain and arriving in the territory of Daqin. Lin Luo and Yi Chen actually abandoned the team and returned to Hailong City ahead of time.

At this moment, in the vast plain in the distance, a strange yet familiar mountain suddenly came into Yi Chen's sight, causing his pupils to shrink slightly.

"This...is this...Falling Dragon Mountain?"

On the distant plain, a familiar mountain over a thousand meters high suddenly appeared.

He remembered that Yi Chengzi had once killed a wild boar king on this mountain, and had picked herbs to replenish qi and blood for his junior brother who was refining essence into qi.

Of course, this was because he hid in Longguan back then, and this was more suitable for the physique of the poor baby. But now it is no longer necessary.

With his saturated supply of resources, Qingfeng Mingyue is now about to enter the late stage of refining essence into Qi.

Familiar memories come flooding back.

Looking at Yi Chen's shocked eyes, Lin Luo smiled and said, "Yes, this is a small gift specially prepared by the Emperor for the Taoist priest."

"This is the Falling Dragon Mountain that the Emperor personally contacted the Zhongzhou sect and sent experts to move with great magical powers overnight."

"The Emperor was afraid that the Taoist priest would not be used to living here, so he specially built the Taoist priest's state master's residence here."

Yi Chen stood on the clouds and looked down. He saw a huge palace located on the top of the Falling Dragon Mountain, flashing with bright light in the sun.

When the Emperor made a move, it was naturally a grand one. This was not the ordinary stuff that King Jing gave to Yi Chenxiu. This palace and temple was actually a magical treasure like the Tanlang Star Palace.

On the gilded plaque in front of the palace, the four large characters "Chun Yang Taoist Palace" were written in iron and silver, shining brightly. It had an aura of "who else but me" that made it possible. If Yi Chen's guess was correct, it must have been written by Ying Si himself.

A huge open space has been opened up on the hillside, which can accommodate thousands of people. The foundation is paved with low-level magic weapon refining material such as Hanxing Stone, and there are many golden lines distributed on it.

"Haha, hasn't the Taoist priest always wanted to compile a top-notch martial arts manual? This is the place that the Emperor gave to the Taoist priest to practice martial arts. There are also the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Transmission Hall and other halls next to it."

"The Emperor said that human power is limited. We cannot compile martial arts classics behind closed doors. We must practice it ourselves. The mysteries of the human body are endless. For example, there are all kinds of strange and precious bodies in the world of cultivation, and how many physical constitutions are formed, we know nothing about them."

"So, Taoist priest, why don't you spread martial arts to the world first, let some people practice first, and then collect the situation of each person's practice and make adjustments. After all, they are just some mortals without spirituality. As long as they can gain strength, there are many warriors in my Great Qin who are not afraid of hardship and shedding blood and sweat."

Seeing Yi Chen staring at the middle of the mountain, Lin Luo thought that Yi Chen was confused, so she immediately explained with a smile.

The result was beyond her expectations, but Yi Chen shook his head.

"I understand what the emperor means. I just want to express my feelings for the chestnut tree on the hillside. It has become thinner."

"This year's chestnuts are not plump!"

Looking at the chestnut tree halfway up the mountain, Yi Chen's eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.

"ah?"

"It's okay, I just remembered some past events. It's better not to talk about it. Fellow Daoist Lin Luo, thank the emperor for his kindness. I will go take a bath, change clothes and pack up before going to the emperor's palace to pay my respects."

In response to Lin Luo's doubts, Yi Chen did not explain too much, and Lin Luo did not ask any more questions.

After chatting for a while, the two of them separated. Lin Luo immediately flew towards Ying Si's palace. Yi Chen thought for a while and also flew towards the palace that King Jing had built for him.

It must be said that facing the familiar Falling Dragon Mountain, Yi Chen's impression of this Millennium Emperor changed again.

This man is indeed a great leader! A palace comparable to the Tanlang Star Palace might make Yi Chen exclaim in amazement, but it would never be as shocking as Ying Si directly sending a master to move the Falling Dragon Mountain, which is more than a thousand meters above sea level, to him.

There is nothing mysterious about the Falling Dragon Mountain except for the story of a falling dragon whose truth or falsity is unknown. However, Yi Chen saw Ying Si and saw how much Daqin valued him.

"Your Majesty is truly open and honest in what he does, which is very touching."

"But I still have to borrow this money!"

Looking at the Hidden Dragon Palace which was so close below, Yi Chen sighed and landed immediately.

It is impossible to earn money by working honestly. No matter how high the salary of the Qin State Master is, it is a drop in the bucket compared to Yi Chen's acquisition plan.

If they don't borrow, they won't have the money to purchase the evil things at a premium. Only by borrowing money from the Qin treasury can they sustain the purchase.

Without money, Yichengzi would not have the Crimson Dot. How could he practice well in this way?

Without money, how could Yichengzi have the ability to maintain world peace? He couldn't possibly practice for hundreds or thousands of years like the Taoist priests in his memory before making a breakthrough.

What is the difference between this and the working class who work for hundreds of years to buy a house?

Of course not. Doing so would be an insult to his previous life.

Only Daqin can borrow money. With this thing, he, Shi Chunyang, can go to Taishang Taoist Sect and other big sects to beg for alms.

It's the same as being Bill Gates' son-in-law or the president of a certain bank.

Things will be easier to accomplish if both sides work together and provide mutual guarantees.

"Wuhu, I'm a genius!"

"But when dealing with an old fox like Ying Si, I still have to think about the packaging. Well, I got it, let's do it!"

——

In the magnificent sky-high palace, the three golden characters of "Imperial Palace" shine particularly brightly.

At this moment, a graceful woman wearing a phoenix crown smiled at Ying Si who was writing furiously and said:

"Your Majesty has treated Yi Chengzi with such courtesy. What if he turns against our Great Qin in the future?"

Ying Si glanced at the queen he had been with for many years, his hand still moving quickly, and said with a smile: "Madam, trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yi Chengzi may seem like a man who doesn't follow the rules, but in fact, he is the most rule-abiding. It's worth investing more in such a powerful man."

"Only those who have taken this road know how difficult it is to break through the limits. Everyone has a chance and a secret of their own. Madam, do you think Yichengzi's cultivation can match or even surpass your husband's?"

"Or do you think that after the martial arts flourish, it will pose a huge challenge to spiritual practitioners like us in the future?"

"Haha, I was just teasing. Your husband is a peerless hero. How can Yicheng be compared to you?" The graceful woman smiled gently, covering her mouth with the light silk feather fan in her hand.

After finishing the imperial edict in his hand, Ying Si put down his pen and ink and looked at his beautiful queen. Three golden dragon patterns suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Yue Ji, what do you think about moving the capital to Hailong City?"

"Husband...husband, have you broken the limit three times?" The graceful woman called Yue Ji by Ying Si was overjoyed when she heard this, and she even stuttered.

"I just gained some insights after the battle with Yue Qingping. I was only one step away from breaking the limit three times. Unfortunately, even if I broke the limit three times, I couldn't go as far as the Taoist friend in Qingping Mountain."

"However, Yue Qingping's transformation of the mountain into a prison is naturally flawed. I have two great treasures, the Ancestral Dragon Golden Decree and the Human Emperor Palace, but now I am not inferior to that True Lord Qingping at all."

Ying Si laughed, looking pleased, and continued, "Yue Ji, you haven't mentioned the matter of moving the capital yet."

"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. Why do you want to move the capital? Xianyang is located in the center of Dongzhou, far away from the battlefield. We can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat. Isn't it better this way?" the graceful woman asked doubtfully.

"Tsukiji, you are wrong. As the saying goes, one is born in adversity and dies in comfort. After much consideration, I think we should move the capital."

"In the future, wherever there is a crisis, wherever the front line is, there will be the capital of our Great Qin!"

"If I hadn't been concerned about the heavy casualties and the loss of my human realm resources, I would have used all my trump cards and conquered Zhongzhou!"

"The reason why we are still restraining ourselves now is just because we want to train our troops and fight in rotation, in order to subdue Zhongzhou."

"Xianyang is the center of Dongzhou. In the future, our Great Qin will dominate the human world, but the center of Dongzhou is not the center of the human world."

"Although Jing'er is not bad, he lacks the courage. Some things must be decided while I can still do things. I can't be lazy. If time is delayed for too long, you will find obstacles everywhere when you want to do things. Just like the six countries that are deeply rooted, the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed, and eventually you will die and your clan will be destroyed."

"The six kingdoms were destroyed. Was it because they didn't want to learn from the Qin Dynasty and carry out reforms? It was because of the constraints of various forces that the reforms turned out to be a mess due to the private schemes of the factions."

"If you want to do something, you have to do it while my Great Qin is strong. I am not afraid of making mistakes. As long as I am here, I can afford to lose. I want to see who dares to make trouble! After this point, Jing'er will be in power. I am afraid that he will find it difficult to do anything he wants. After thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything he wants."

Ying Si looked outside the palace, his gaze seemed to penetrate the fog of time and see the future. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to be like this? You are definitely the greatest emperor after the Human Emperor. You deserve the title of the First Emperor. Our Great Qin will surely last for seven or eight generations without end."

"Hehe, who else can be called the First Emperor but me, but my Great Qin will last forever, so Yueji, please stop talking nonsense like that."

"I only want to pacify the Five Realms and completely smash the sharp blade hanging over the heads of our human race. As for the internal strife of the human race in the future, I don't want to care about it."

At this point, Ying Si's tone suddenly became firm, with a will that could not be questioned or changed:

"The meat must rot in the pot!"

"I am willing to assist Your Majesty with all my strength!" Seeing her husband so heroic, a deep love flashed in the eyes of the graceful woman.

"Okay! When my long-cherished wish is fulfilled in the future, we can tear down the wall of this courtyard and take you, Yueji, to see the world outside the courtyard."

"At the age of twenty, I will be your wife. I am willing to be with you in the dust and ashes. Wherever your Majesty goes, I will go there too.

But Your Majesty, when will you make Lin Luo a princess? She has been wandering around for long enough. Her mother died young, and her father doesn't love her, which is too pitiful."

"Ah? This, this, this..." Looking at the graceful woman's half-smile, Ying Si couldn't help but blush. Then he puffed out his chest and said domineeringly: "Don't panic, wait until the Yichengzi National Master Ceremony is over, and I will start to do this."

"Yue Ji, you are being a little too presumptuous now. I will punish you!"

As the graceful woman screamed, her knees were actually grasped by a large hand and she was lifted up by the waist.

…. … .Starry night, Imperial Palace.

Yi Chen was really screwed. After he bathed, burned incense, and dressed himself up, he was turned away in the end.

A Praetorian Warrior guarding the gate told him that the emperor was busy with state affairs and asked him to come back at midnight.

After accidentally meeting Lin Luo, who had also been turned away before, on the jade steps of the Imperial Palace, Yi Chen walked into the hall with her.

"Haha, Master Yi, I've been busy with state affairs and neglected it."

"I wonder if you like the Pure Yang Taoist Palace that I built for you?"

"The gift from your majesty is naturally excellent. I am overjoyed." After flattering someone, Yi Chen continued,

"But today I came here to discuss an important matter with Your Majesty. After I take the position of the Great Qin State Master, if there are any strange and evil powers in the Great Qin that cause trouble, I will definitely be responsible for it and rush to kill them day and night."

"But I also have a small request. My master, Bai Yunzi, died at the hands of evil spirits in the past. So I made a vow in my heart that day that I would personally kill all those evil spirits."

"One evil spirit, one merit"

"I will kill thousands of evil spirits, gather thousands of merits, and hundreds of millions of honors to comfort the spirit of my master in heaven!"

"What does the Taoist priest mean?"

"I am a small person with limited power. I want to borrow some money from the Great Qin Treasury to buy evil and sinister things, cleanse the world of evil spirits, and accumulate millions of merits!"

"Otherwise, I will be bound by my vows and it will hinder my meritorious deeds! This is also a loss for the Qin Dynasty!"

Yi Chen's words sounded righteous and powerful!

He, Yi Chengzi, took out a loan to work, and everything was for Daqin. He was loyal and courageous, and his heart and actions were known to the world!
