Chapter 478 You have to praise me
"Baby, why don't you eat it? This is a very precious ingredient in our Jinque Kingdom."
"Bao, I'll take a break before eating."
After the conversation, everyone was satisfied. Empress Mingyan ordered the palace servants to remove the table of wine and food and replace it with a new one.
The little koi frowned, looking a little unhappy.
The dishes just now were all delicious, why are the new ones all weird? Oysters, sea cucumbers, leeks, yams...
Wang Longqi looked at Yu Qian'an with sympathy.
Old Master, the Queen wants you to die.
Yu Qian'an responded with a calm expression.
It's a small scene, just some chickens and dogs.
Just when the host and the guests were enjoying themselves, a palace servant suddenly came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Empress Mingyan glared at him and said, "Just tell me, we are not outsiders."
The palace servant bowed his head and said, "The Imperial Master sent a message saying that there was a riot in Qiyun Jinchi and he couldn't suppress it. He needs you, the Queen, to take charge..."
Upon hearing this, Empress Mingyan's eyebrows tightened. She said worriedly, "Bao, the Golden Pond of Luck is a vital place for our Jinque Kingdom. We cannot afford to lose it. Please wait here for a while. I will be back soon."
Yu Qian'an nodded and said, "Bao, just be careful."
After saying this, Empress Mingyan hurriedly led her people out of the palace.
Wang Longqi, who stayed where he was, saw that the palace people on both sides were very far away, so he came to Yu Qian'an and said respectfully: "Master Yu, you are really amazing. You fooled the queen with just a few words. If I become your disciple now, is it too late?"
"Humph, who is lying?" The old Taoist snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to become my disciple. I will only teach you one thing. When you interact with others, remember to be honest and don't lie to them. Especially between men and women, the most important thing is sincerity."
Wang Longqi immediately showed a look of being screwed and said, "Master Yu, do you think I'm a fool? Then what you said just now, can you really mean it?"
"Of course I mean it sincerely." Yu Qian'an said calmly, "When I was young, I traveled all over the country. People nicknamed me 'Honest and Reliable Young Master'. I never told a lie."
Honest and reliable Yu Qi'an? Wang Longqi looked at Yu Qi'an and said slowly: "Master Yu, if you are honest, then I am not a saint."
"Alas, you still don't understand." Yu Qian'an shook his head with an expression that said he was a child who could not be taught. "No one is a fool. Everyone can feel whether you are lying or not. If you don't say it sincerely, how can you move others? But... the world is vast, how can you predict what your future will be like?"
“Ah…” Wang Longqi nodded as if he had understood something. “You mean… to make a promise sincerely at first, and then change your mind later… But isn’t that still lying?”
"There is an essential difference." Yu Qian'an said, "A person speaks from the heart at every stage of his life. Can you say he is wrong?"
"Oh..." Wang Longqi suddenly realized.
The old Taoist priest said leisurely: "The only thing that does not change in the world is that people are fickle."
Wang Longqi suddenly realized that he had been elevated, and murmured, "I am just passing through the world, love has a time limit..."
Yu Qian'an then smiled slightly and said, "Good."
As they were talking, suddenly a strong wind blew up in the sky and a cloud of black smoke quickly swept over.
"What's going on?" Wang Longqi shuddered and looked up.
Yu Qi sat calmly on the Diaoyutai, took a bite of the leeks in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and then said: "This evil spirit...if nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid there will be another accident."
…
"It turns out that it's a monster that captures people."
Dulanke looked up at the stars above the desert and spoke in a low voice.
"According to the sand sculpture spirit, there are not many monsters in these hundreds of miles of yellow sand that dare to capture living people. If they are really the monsters from the Yellow Sand Cave, I hope to meet Master and the others." Li Chu replied.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work." Dulanke said, "The little koi can still grow a little longer. The master's meat is old and tough, so the Seventh Young Master will definitely be eaten first. If there are not many monsters in the cave, the Seventh Young Master can at least eat one for three days..."
Li Chu was not as optimistic as him. He shook his head and said, "Let's see when we get there."
"What are you two whispering about?" a sharp voice sounded from the front.
It turned out that the creature walking in the front of the team was a half-human, half-fox monster, which seemed to be a sand fox that had turned into a spirit. It was walking in front, and behind it were several other monsters, holding up two people who were tied up.
Both of them were wearing Taoist robes, they were Li Chu and Du Lanke.
Just now, seeing the evil spirit coming from the front, the two of them quickly gave up resistance and were carried back by the monsters. Now they were hurriedly rushing back to the monster cave.
To be honest, they were anxious, but Li Chu and Du Lanke were even more anxious than them.
If he wasn't afraid of exposing his cultivation level, Li Chu really wanted to fly on his sword and pick up these monsters and take them to their yellow sand cave.
Hearing the question from the Sand Fox Spirit, Dulanke replied, "It's nothing. We are both facing death, so it's natural for us to be afraid. Mumbling a few words, isn't that normal?"
"Yes, we are afraid." Li Chu replied calmly.
"Ha." The sand fox spirit turned around and sneered, "Are you scared already? There will be something scarier later."
Although it vaguely felt that something was wrong, its intelligence did not seem to be enough to figure out what was wrong.
In this way, after many twists and turns, we arrived at a hidden place behind a sand dune.
Then the fox demon shouted at the sand dune, "Open sesame!"
Then, the sand dunes in front of him rumbled, and a hole covered by quicksand actually opened up! Li Chu thought, is there a formula?
Somewhat magical.
Soon, the fox spirit led the team into the yellow sand cave and said to the door: "Thank you for your hard work, Zhima, opening the door here every day."
A skinny, pockmarked monster behind the door nodded and said, "Hey, it's okay. You guys go out and capture people all day long to feed your brothers. That's hard work!"
Oh, so the doorman’s name is Zhima…
After going down the cave, the path inside was more complicated than above. The demon king in the yellow sand cave was really cautious. If it weren't for the demons in the cave leading the way, even if they had a high level of cultivation, it would be difficult to catch them from under the yellow sand.
In this way, they walked for half a day before arriving at the depths of the Yellow Sand Cave, which was the cave residence of the Golden Hook King and the Silver Hook King.
King Golden Hook was sitting on a tiger-skin chair with a worried look on his face.
The fox spirit laughed and said, "My king! Don't be sad. We have brought back two living people for you! We will fry, stir-fry, stew, and braise them to whet your appetite."
King Golden Hook glanced at the two Taoists thrown to the ground and was about to wave his hand to let his men go down to clean up, when suddenly his eyes fixed.
Something is wrong.
Something is seriously wrong.
He looked at Li Chu's face carefully...this little Taoist priest was too handsome.
Scarily handsome.
Because according to the legend, the young Taoist priest who caused a great disturbance in the north and conquered the Golden State with one sword was regarded as extremely handsome.
At first, King Golden Hook thought it was a bit outrageous. He could not think of what kind of appearance could be described as extremely handsome.
But the moment he saw the little Taoist priest, he suddenly understood something.
"That little Taoist priest...what's your name?" King Golden Hook's voice trembled slightly.
"Li Chu."
"Haha, Li Chu." King Golden Hook wiped his sweat, "It can't be such a coincidence, think about it carefully, is your name really Li Chu?"
Li Chu paused, thought about it carefully, and then nodded and said, "Really."
Plop! Before he finished speaking, King Jin Gou knelt down heavily from the tiger-skin chair.
"Young Taoist priest, what brings you here today?" he asked in a crying voice.
There are many Taoist priests in the world, and there are many named Li Chu, but there are definitely not many who are as handsome as this one. So many points match up, who else could it be but that Li Chu? Li Chu stood up from the ground and replied calmly: "It was the monsters under your command who captured me."
"Stop it..." King Jin Gou said with a sad face, "With your level of cultivation, if you don't want to come over, which little demon can catch you?"
Li Chu saw that the other party confirmed his identity at a glance, and knew that it was useless to pretend. He thought to himself that he had to think of a way to avoid being recognized so quickly next time.
So he asked, "My master and several friends were taken away from the city by a monster the other day. I wonder if it was your Yellow Sand Cave who did it?"
"No, absolutely not!"
No matter how stupid King Jin Gou was, he knew that he had to deny it. He shook his head and said, "We just occasionally capture two lone men from the desert. How dare we go to the city to capture people?"
As soon as he finished his denial, he heard another burst of laughter coming from the other side of the cave.
"Brother! Good things are about to happen! You will never guess what just happened..."
The footsteps and laughter of King Silver Hook could be heard from afar.
"You have to praise me. I caught the old Taoist priest again!"
