Chapter 3582
"Oh, the monarch of the Chanyang Kingdom is so wise?"
Xiao Hua was a little confused. It seemed that in Xiao Jian's words, the monarch of the Chaliang Country was a cruel person, an ungrateful person, extremely unbearable. Why was it so different from Xue Ping's description. "This monarch … What is his name?"
"Hehe, if we're talking about the monarch's name, it has something to do with Senior Xiao," Xue Ping said with a smile. "My monarch's surname is Xiao and his name is Jun. He's a loyal monarch."
"Xiao Jun?" Xiao Hua frowned. Wasn't this the shameless person Xiao Jian mentioned who stole his throne?
"Actually, I came to Yaotai Mountain because I took the initiative to request the monarch to send people to recruit some Dao cultivators …" Xue Ping continued, "After all, although my Chanyang Kingdom has a strong population, it might not be rich. I feel that we urgently need some people with lofty ideals to help our monarch govern the country and prevent other countries from harboring ill intentions towards my Chanyang Kingdom."
"Hehe, don't tell me you were bribed by a mere county governor joining the army?" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "Don't forget that you're a Dao cultivator.
You're not a Buddhist Kingdom's Bodhisattva. "
"Senior, you're wrong."
When Xue Ping heard that, he answered righteously, "Of course I won't abandon my principles just because a prefectural governor has joined the army.
I still don't approve of the Buddhist Sect, but that doesn't mean I don't approve of a Buddhist Kingdom or the monarch of a Buddhist Kingdom.
My Monarch seems to know about the Yaotai Meeting, but he didn't think about it before. When he saw this junior's memorial, he immediately made a decision. Not only did he approve this junior's memorial, he even personally brought some aides to Yaotai Mountain. "
Xiao Hua smiled. "So Xiao Jun is also at Yaotai Mountain!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Xue Ping nodded. "When Senior flew over, I was chatting with my monarch's aides and was delayed. When I saw Senior's face, I didn't dare to approach. Later, when I saw a Nascent Soul Senior, I had to be courteous to Senior. Only then … did I muster the courage to come over.
If … Senior is willing, I'll invite my monarch to pay you a visit! "
Xiao Hua's heart stirred as he asked, "You told the county governor of Butian Commandery about Longevity Town, right?"
"That's right. I have nothing to hide." Xue Ping nodded.
"Then, have you told your Monarch about this old man's visit today?"
"Junior wouldn't dare. Longevity Town's matters are junior's own. Junior naturally dares to speak.
But Senior's matter … I dare not speak rashly without Senior's approval, "Xue Ping immediately said in a panic.
Xiao Hua nodded, "That's good. You don't need to tell others about this old man's matters. If this old man is interested, he can come and find you."
"Yes, this junior understands!"
Xue Ping hastily stood up, knowing that Xiao Hua was about to send him off. However, when he stood up, he still didn't forget to say, "Senior, if you have the time, this junior would like to invite His Majesty to meet you. Although this junior hasn't met His Majesty much, I have a good relationship with His Majesty's aides.
All the advisors know the monarch very well. Their … reputation towards the monarch is extremely good! "
Xiao Hua frowned and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Xue Ping, are you just here to be the Buddhist Sect's lobbyist?"
"Oh, please forgive me, Senior."
Xue Ping hastily shut his mouth and said with a smile, "This junior is used to speaking these days, so I just said it in passing.
This is my Message Talisman. If Senior returns from the Yaotai Gathering with a full load, this junior will come and congratulate Senior. "
With that said, Xue Ping carefully took out a Message Talisman and handed it to Xiao Hua, looking at him pitifully.
It seemed that he was still worried when Xiao Hua said that he would look for him when he had the time.
"Mm," Xiao Hua reached out to take it without any displeasure on his face. Only then did Xue Ping feel relieved. He looked around and said, "Senior is already a Nascent Soul cultivator. Why don't you have a boy to serve you?
If Senior needs one, can this junior send a few over? "
"There's no need for that!"
Xiao Hua was somewhat speechless. He waved his hand and said, "I'm just here to take a stroll around Yaotai Mountain. Why would I need a boy to serve me?
Those who came with me earlier were also people I met along the way. They can't be considered as disciples. "
"Senior is really amiable and approachable!"
Xue Ping sighed. "If this junior cultivates to the Nascent Soul realm, I'll definitely have someone to rely on like Perfected Yuanqing. This is something that a Nascent Soul senior should enjoy …"
"It won't be too late to talk about it after you cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm!" Xiao Hua said with a smile and then walked to see him off.
How could Xue Ping dare to let Xiao Hua see him off? He hurriedly bowed and said, "Senior, please wait. This junior doesn't dare to trouble you …"
"Senior Xiao, let this junior see this fellow Daoist off!"
With that said, Chang Yu quickly walked out of the quiet room and said eagerly, "I'm Chang Yu. Fellow Daoist, this way please."
Xiao Hua nodded and stopped in his tracks. Xue Ping bowed again and smiled at Chang Yu before following him out of the palace.
Looking at Xue Ping's back, Xiao Hua frowned slightly. He was somewhat surprised by Xue Ping's visit, but he was even more puzzled by Xiao Jun's situation.
Xiao Hua returned to the jade table and sat down. Not long after, Chang Yu turned around and Xiao Hua said loudly, "All of you, come out and follow me to this palace. Don't cultivate in seclusion. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as a cave?"
With that said, he waved his hand and took out some spirit fruits and spirit wine, placing them on three jade tables.
Chang Yu blinked and bowed. "Thank you, Senior Xiao. Today, I've benefited from your presence."
Hearing Xiao Hua's summons, Wu Tianxin and Zhu Chengli hurriedly came out as well. They were happy to see the spirit fruits and other things. After thanking him, they sat down and ate and drank while chatting in a reserved manner.
Xiao Hua also casually said a few words before asking, "Chang Yu, do you know of the Chanyang Country in Liang Province?"
"Senior, Liang Province is very far from Qing Province. This junior has never heard of it." Chang Yu was about to drink when he hurriedly put down the wine cup and answered respectfully.
Previously, Xiao Hua did not hide his conversation with Xue Ping from the three of them. Therefore, Xiao Hua said again, "This Xue Ping is someone I knew in the past. I heard from him that he's currently serving as a county governor in the Chanyang Country, which was founded by a Buddhist sect. I don't understand. Is the monarch of this Chanyang Country really using our Daoist cultivators?
Or does he really have the intention to develop his country and seek benefits for his citizens? "
"No matter what, he's using our Daoist cultivators to work for his Buddhist sect!"
Wu Tianxin stood up without hesitation and said, "There aren't many good people in the Buddhist sect. On the surface, they're benevolent, abstain from meat and pray to Buddha. They don't get close to women, but in reality, how many men can tolerate their ten precepts?
This disciple has cultivated for so many years, but I can only abstain from nine of the ten precepts! "
Xiao Hua knew Wu Tianxin's personality and did not find it strange. He smiled and said, "Which precepts are so powerful?
Even Great Cultivator Wu can't abide by them? "
"Lust precepts!
Lust is emptiness, emptiness is lust. It's all … nonsense. "
Wu Tianxin smiled and said, "This lust precepts are men's lust tribulation. I don't think any man can avoid it!"
"Old Wu, you've drunk too much!" Zhu Chengli stole a glance at Xiao Hua and hurriedly chided, "Don't violate your precepts in front of Senior!"
Wu Tianxin shuddered and shrank his neck. He hurriedly sat down and took a spirit fruit to chew.
"Actually, it might not be as serious as Fellow Daoist Wu said."
Chang Yu smiled and said, "I've seen some Buddhist sect monks who say one thing and mean another. Similarly, I've seen even more Buddhist sect experts who are sincere towards Buddhism and treat others with sincerity.
With Fellow Daoist Xue Ping's cultivation, if not for the fact that the Single Liang Kingdom really attracted him, he might not have stayed behind and even more so, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to Yaotai Mountain.
It's certain that the Single Liang Kingdom's monarch is using Daoist cultivators, but we can't rule out the fact that this monarch is indeed ambitious. "
At this point, Chang Yu looked at Xiao Hua again and said, "If Senior is interested, you'll know when you meet him.
Otherwise, Senior can ride a pegasus to the Single Liang Kingdom to take a look.
If not, Junior and the others can also do it for you! "
"Haha, there's no need for that." Xiao Hua waved his hand. "I'm just curious. If I have time, I'll go take a look myself."
Zhu Chengli seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak, Xiao Hua raised his head and looked outside the palace. He said, "Chang Yu, go take a look. There seems to be someone outside again."
"Yes, Senior!" Chang Yu was very happy. He hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the palace door.
Zhu Chengli and Wu Tianxin were slightly stunned. After all, their cultivation levels were relatively low. If there was anything, they should be called. Zhu Chengli even had a look of regret on his face.
Not long after, Chang Yu brought a boy with red lips and white teeth in a clean Daoist robe in. He said respectfully, "Senior, Senior Hong Songzi sent an invitation card to invite you to a banquet."
"Junior Qing Mu greets Perfected Xiao."
The boy walks in front of Xiao Hua and respectfully raises his hands. In his hands is a diamond-shaped crystal object. Inside it is flashing a green and red brilliance. It looks very extraordinary. The boy says, "Junior is under the order of my family's Daoist to invite Daoist to Daoist Huode's banquet."
Xiao Hua slightly nodded and reached out to take the crystal object. He slightly used his Zhen Yuan and saw the crystal overflowing with brilliance. The green and red brilliance respectively gathered in two parts of the crystal. Soon after, the brilliance rushed out of the crystal and swam in front of Xiao Hua's eyes like a shuttle used to weave cloth. A moment later, a gorgeous invitation card appeared. The characters seemed to come alive and made a sound. It was Hong Songzi's voice. "Perfected Xiao, I originally planned to invite Fellow Daoist to my Immortal's Cave for a chat a few days ago. However, in these few days, Fellow Daoists from various provinces have come to Yaotai Mountain. This is really beyond my expectations. Today, I just received Perfected Huo De's invitation. I thought that I might as well go together. If Fellow Daoist has the time, you can ask Qing Mu to bring Fellow Daoist here. I will wait in my Immortal's Cave."
The voice drifted in the palace. The green and red brilliance gradually disappeared. The crystal object also turned into powder.
Xiao Hua looked at Qing Mu standing respectfully. He turned his head and sent a sound transmission to Chang Yu. "Who is this Perfected Huo De?"
