Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Fu Li holds...
Fu Li held Huizhi in her arms as she bid farewell to Ling Zhuzi. The child was ignorant and could not understand the undercurrents between the adults.
Huizhi nestled in Fuli's arms, first looking up at her, then turning back to Lingzhuzi, and asked crisply, "Is the Queen also going back to her mother's clan?"
also?
Fu Li was slightly startled. She exchanged glances with Ling Zhuzi, forced a smile, and nodded, "Yes, he's going back to his master." She then asked Hui Zhi, "How did you know?"
Huizhi said proudly, "Daddy told me. Daddy said that Mu went back to her mother's tribe. Her mother's tribe is very far away from here, separated by many mountains.
Daddy told me to eat well, study hard, and listen to the king. When I grow up, my mother will be able to come."
Fu Li's eyes welled up as she listened. She gently caressed her neck and echoed, "Yes, your father is right. When you grow up, your mother will be able to come back."
Huizhi tilted her head and looked at Lingzhuzi, her long, thick eyelashes fluttering like a fan. She asked in a childish voice, "What about the queen? Will you wait until I grow up before coming back?"
Lingzhuzi was a little at a loss.
He was not very warm to Xiang, let alone Xiang's daughter Huizhi?
The two of them met frequently, but each time it was always because of Fuli. Xiang, carrying her daughter, came to pay her respects to Fuli, and of course, she couldn't leave out the queen. Whenever they met, Fuli was always there, and aside from greetings, they rarely exchanged words.
Therefore, Lingzhuzi did not expect that such a young child would actually care about his whereabouts and ask about his return date.
His usual cold and arrogant expression softened a bit. He looked at Fu Li, a smile curling up at the corner of his lips, and said with his usual sarcasm: "I'm going there to practice in seclusion. Maybe two or three years, maybe twenty or thirty years. There's no exact time limit."
Fu Li subconsciously lowered her eyes, avoiding his gaze. When she realized what was happening, she smiled bitterly inwardly.
If it were someone else, she would have a million ways to prevent people from leaving, using both soft and hard tactics without any scruples.
But when it came to Lingzhuzi, she was unwilling to use any of them.
Because she knew very well that the conflict between the two was not in their personalities, nor in their boredom with each other, but in their different paths, making it difficult to work together.
Only if she could quickly train an heir and free herself from the paperwork of Shu Kingdom could she focus on rebuilding with Ling Zhuzi without distractions. Now, dragging things out in vain, even if Ling Zhuzi always softened his heart towards her, it would only delay things for a while, not forever.
What's more, Lingzhuzi has suppressed his nature for a long time for her. How could she bear to see him give in again and again?
Her parents and sister in her previous life had taught her that a healthy relationship is one of mutual achievement and support, rather than one party making endless sacrifices.
Huizhi nodded his head, not quite understanding, and said like a grown-up, "The queen is so powerful, she will definitely come out soon."
Lingzhuzi smiled and touched her forehead, but did not speak.
Fu Li lifted Huizhi up into a hug and said to Ling Zhuzi, "After parting today, you and I should take care of ourselves. We will meet again in the future."
Ling Zhuzi was silent for a while, then said, "If you're in danger, I'll come." He turned around, strode to the side of Taiyi Zhenren, and said, "Teacher, let's go."
Taiyi Zhenren looked back at Fuli, then at his disciple, sighed and shook his head, then leaped onto the crane and said to Zhao Gongming, "Brother Daoist, I'll take my leave now."
"Go, go." Zhao Gongming waved his hand. The black tiger lay at his feet, its tail curled lazily. Hearing the sound, it rubbed its ears on the ground, raised its head and snorted.
After watching them leave, Fu Li asked Zhao Gongming, "Teacher, when will you return to Emei?"
Zhao Gongming raised his eyebrows: "Why, are you trying to kick me out?"
"How could that be? Look at what you said." Fu Li laughed dryly. "I know you're always busy, so I'm afraid I'll delay your work."
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, "I won't leave yet. I've been busy for so many years, it's time to take a break. By the way..."
He rummaged through his sleeves for a moment and pulled out a mirror slightly larger than his palm. The back was rose gold, engraved with a pattern of two cranes soaring through the clouds. The handle had a natural wood grain, but the material wasn't wood itself; it was a new composite material, light yet strong, yet not brittle.
The mirror surface is a piece of pure glass, only slightly smaller than the mirror body. When caught by the sun, it shines brightly. When backlit, it looks like a pool of autumn water, clear and crystal clear.
"This is something I prepared especially for you." Zhao Gongming handed her the mirror and smiled. "It's only because Lingzhuzi left that I could take it out in front of you."
Fu Li looked at it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what it was. Curious, he asked, "What's so special about this mirror? Why does it have to avoid him?"
Zhao Gongming said proudly: "You will know after you practice it. This is the latest model of mobile phone. It is a customized model. You have to pay for the materials and labor yourself, and you can also choose the style yourself. We are only responsible for making it.
It not only functions as a mobile phone, but it can also be a magical weapon. As for the quality of a magical weapon, besides the raw materials, it also depends on the skill of the person who refined it.
He pointed at the mirror and said, "This one in your hand is made of materials that I personally selected. I went to Kunlun Mountain specifically to ask Second Uncle to help refine it. It is an acquired spiritual treasure."
Hearing him say he went to Kunlun Mountain, Fu Li was surprised and moved: "Teacher, you are not afraid of the Second Master anymore?"
"What?" Zhao Gongming quickly glanced at Huizhi. Seeing that she was curiously looking at the mirror in Fuli's hand and didn't pay attention to what they were saying, he breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, and said, "The main thing is that they found someone else and wasted those good materials."
In order to buy this magic weapon for his disciple, he spent a lot of money, collected all his collections over the years, and posted on the Internet, exchanging a lot of things for it.
Apart from Yuanshi Tianzun, a saint famous for his art of instruments, he really couldn't think of anyone else qualified to handle these materials.
At this time, Huizhi's father came, and Fuli handed the child to him and asked him to take the child back home safely.
The master and disciple did not return to the palace, but went to the temple of the God of Wealth where Zhao Gongming was staying. The water and fire boys serving in the temple were brought by Zhao Gongming himself from Emei and were very familiar with his habits.
Therefore, although he changed his place, he did not feel any inconvenience.
Fuli lit incense in the front hall first, while Zhao Gongming went to the back hall. After she placed the incense in the incense burner, she followed him in, holding up the mirror and asking, "Then why did the teacher avoid the spirit pearl?"
Zhao Gongming raised his eyebrows proudly and said with a smile, "Besides being able to be used as a mobile phone, this magic weapon has two other wonderful benefits. The first is similar to the Heavenly Emperor's Haotian Mirror. As long as your cultivation is sufficient, you can use this mirror to observe the three realms. Any demon below the level of Daluo Jinxian will be exposed to this mirror and its true form will be revealed."
Fu Li nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "I'm afraid this isn't the function of the spirit bead you're trying to avoid, right?"
"My disciple is indeed clever." Zhao Gongming praised him without hesitation. He leaned forward slightly and said mysteriously, "Another benefit of this magic weapon is that it can specifically restrain the Spirit Pearl."
"Huh? Restrain him?"
Zhao Gongming said, "To be precise, it restrains all fire and lightning spells. From the level of Golden Immortal below, anyone who attacks you with spells from these two types can be reflected back with this mirror, causing them to suffer the consequences."
Fu Li was stunned for a long while, swallowed unconsciously, nodded slightly and smiled tactically: "This is really a special spirit bead."
Although Lingzhuzi can use all five elements of magic, he was born with a fire spirit body, so the best and most powerful spells he used were all fire spells.
Zhao Gongming whispered, "Master is mainly worried that if you two get into a fight, you'll suffer."
Fu Li said, "We've never fought, and he won't fight me either."
"I know, I know." Zhao Gongming waved his hand, "Just in case."
Fu Li: “…………”
——Forget it, let’s stop explaining. You can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.
So she quickly changed the subject: "Teacher, what are your plans next?"
Zhao Gongming said, "I plan to stay in Shu for a few years. Zhao Bao and the others have gradually taken over the affairs of Emei in recent years. This time, I will just let them do it."
"That's good." Fu Li smiled. "The people of Shu have worshipped the God of Wealth for so many years, but they've never seen what he looks like. Now they can finally see him."
Zhao Gongming laughed heartily: "I will not accept their offerings in vain. I must find a way for them to make money."
Since then, Zhao Gongming settled in Jinguan City and sent many of his gods out to station in various temples of the God of Wealth in Shu.
When the people of Shu went to worship the God of Wealth again, they found that every time they burned incense, the statue in the shrine would emit a faint golden light. Although it was clearly a clay statue, many people claimed to have seen the God of Wealth smiling at them.
What's more, filial sons and mothers, friendly sisters, and harmonious neighbors from poor families will receive dreams from the God of Wealth, who will guide them in reviving their family businesses.
Although not everyone who is guided by the God of Wealth can make a fortune due to personal qualifications, as long as they manage the business honestly and ensure that their family has enough food and clothing, it is still possible.
Just as Fu Li once said to Zhao Gongming, when humans worship gods, they always prefer to worship those who are closely related to themselves.
It is true that the God of Works has completed many major projects, but they are all related to the country, and the benefits that the people have received from them are subtle and not intuitive.
Those who receive guidance from the God of Wealth in dreams are not only intuitive, but also stand out from the crowd.
No one doesn't like to be special, especially the kind that gets benefits.
However, in just three or four years, the popularity of the Temple of the God of Wealth increased rapidly, and it became the largest temple in Shu, completely suppressing the God of Work.
Because of his eldest disciple, Taiyi Zhenren did not return to Jinguan City for several years, and he did not care whether his temple was deserted or not.
He didn't care, and Zhao Gongming also felt that winning didn't give him much sense of accomplishment.
It's worth mentioning that after Lingzhuzi left, he had no contact with Fuli. Even though ancient tools have communication jade slips, the new generation has various mobile phones, so it's not very convenient to contact.
But on the one hand, the two were competing with each other, and on the other hand, they both felt guilty about each other, and no one could break the deadlock.
This made the two teachers extremely anxious, and they kept in contact with each other privately. Zhao Gongming asked Taiyi Zhenren to persuade Lingzhuzi to bow his head first, while Taiyi Zhenren asked Zhao Gongming to persuade Fuli to speak first.
Neither of them was able to convince the other, and neither of them brought the matter to the front of their own disciples.
