The prince's personal bodyguard

Chapter 145 The Greedy Empress

Everyone looked up into the sky and saw a man who looked like a Taoist priest falling from the sky.

The Taoist priest was dressed in a flowing Taoist robe, the color of which was deep and mysterious, with a faint light flickering on it, as if it was blending with the heaven and earth, descending from mid-air like an immortal descending to earth.

His magical powers were unfathomable. He held a Buddhist whisk in his hand. He flicked the whisk, and the powerful magical powers condensed by the national master on the eight-ring tin staff suddenly disappeared.

The Taoist's eyes revealed a transcendental temperament, as if he could see through all illusions.

When he fell from the sky, the air around him seemed to make way for him, and his figure appeared in front of everyone in an instant like a flash of lightning.

Bai Xinyin and others did not recognize this person when they saw him. At first, Bai Xinyin thought it was his master because of his figure, but after the man landed, he found that it was not him. This person had long white hair and a childlike face, but he was much older than his master, and his eyes were much deeper.

"Amitabha, I was wondering who it was? It turns out to be Taoist Master Xuanling. I didn't know you were coming and was sorry for not welcoming you. Didn't you stay away from worldly affairs and travel around the world? How come you show up here?" The national teacher didn't get angry. He immediately put on a respectful face and stopped calling himself "old monk".

"I passed by here and noticed that there was a lot of smoke above the palace, so I came to take a look and found that it was you, the monk, who was causing trouble!" said Xuan Lingzi.

"Haha, Taoist priest, what you said is wrong. What I did was to enforce justice. The chaos and chaos were not caused by me." The national teacher had a good level of cultivation, so he was not annoyed when he heard this.

"You? Doing justice for the heaven? If you were doing justice for the heaven, why did God strike you with lightning five years ago?" Taoist Master Xuan Lingzi hit the nail on the head and went back to the point.

"You... I have my own methods for doing things, so there's no need for you to worry about it, Taoist priest!" The National Master was obviously a little angry and embarrassed when he saw that the old matter was brought up again.

"I don't worry about you. I'm afraid you'll be killed again, and I'll have to take care of the aftermath for that old monk Wubian. What a trouble!"

Xuan Lingzi shook his head helplessly, then turned around and said to the air, "Why don't you leave here quickly? Do you want to wait until this bald monk is struck by lightning again and then the disaster will affect you? I really don't know why my stupid disciple Jiu Ming accepted such a stupid disciple! Alas, it really makes me worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he violently waved the whisk in his hand, put on an arrogant attitude, and quickly flew away from the palace.

When the others heard this, their faces changed drastically and they quickly used their lightness skills to fly out of the palace together.

As soon as they left the palace, they ran straight towards the inn, but unexpectedly they saw Taoist Xuan Ling standing with his hands behind his back at the intersection ahead, as if waiting for them.

Bai Xinyin was puzzled when she saw this. She felt that the old Taoist priest had no ill intentions, so she walked forward quickly.

Walking closer, Bai Xinyin knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, shouting, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"He's not completely stupid." Xuan Lingzi turned and looked at Bai Xinyin, his tone seemed to be filled with a hint of relief, "You guys should not have a direct conflict with the monk for the time being to avoid danger. He has an eight-ring tin staff in his hand, which is said to be a magic weapon of an ancient Bodhisattva. It can greatly increase his power and should not be underestimated.

Especially the young female emperor next to you, her cultivation is still shallow, if I hadn't arrived in time tonight, I'm afraid her Yuandan would have been sucked away by that monk. "

"Female Emperor? May I ask who the Taoist priest is talking about?" Mei Jiu asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"How many nine-tailed foxes do you have here?" Xuan Lingzi asked back.

Mei Jiu turned her head and glanced at several people. Bai Xinyin was definitely not a nine-tailed fox, so only Nanxing was left. She stared at Nanxing closely, as if she wanted to find out some clues from her.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not a nine-tailed fox, let alone an imperial princess. What does this have to do with me?" Nan Xing explained hurriedly when he saw this.

"But..." Mei Jiu thought to herself: I am indeed a nine-tailed fox, but I have been alone since I was a child, without a father or a mother, and no one has ever told me about my life experience? Could it be that this so-called "female emperor" identity is really related to me? Thinking of this, Mei Jiu's eyes became more and more confused.

Xuan Lingzi looked at her confused expression, smiled slightly, and said softly: "It seems that you and this little girl Ayin are indeed destined to be together! As for the fact that you left home, it was because you were greedy when you were a child, and as a result, you were abducted by other foxes from Qingqiu to another fox tribe. As time goes by, you naturally can't remember things from your childhood."

After hearing this, Mei Jiu thought to herself, was she tricked into leaving home just because she was greedy? Could the reason be so hasty?

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, was she deceived by another fox because of eating the braised pork elbow?" Nanxing asked, blinking her big, shining eyes.

"No, it's pickled pig's trotters." The Taoist priest answered casually.

"What a greedy princess!" Nanxing exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Nanxing: Are you doing this to finish off the enemy?

Mei Jiu felt helpless and glared at Nan Xing fiercely. Then she couldn't help but sigh that if she hadn't left Qingqiu, she might have ascended to become an immortal sooner. She felt a little sorry, but then she thought, maybe all this was destined.

"But fortunately you are safe now. Although you have taken some detours in practicing with other foxes, this is the disaster you deserve. It is not a loss to become an immortal later. Moreover, it won't be long before your parents come to find you." Xuan Lingzi seemed to see what she was thinking and comforted her.

Hearing this, Mei Jiu's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she quickly asked, "So where are they now?"

However, Xuan Lingzi just smiled and shook his head, and slowly said: "Everything in the world has its cause and effect, and we will meet naturally when it is time to meet."

Then, he added earnestly: "Just try your best in everything and don't force it." Before he finished speaking, Xuan Lingzi's figure gradually dissipated like smoke until it disappeared completely.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, staring at the empty air in front of them, and then looked at the princess who left home because of greed, as if they were dreaming.

As for what happened tonight, everyone had a lot of thoughts in their minds, and they lowered their heads and slowly walked back to the inn.

After entering the inn, the third prince said, "Prince Rong has just arrived here. Everyone is exhausted today. Let's take a rest first. If there is anything, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Everyone thought it made sense. After all, only by getting enough sleep and having a clear mind could they more effectively sort out their thoughts and find a solution. So they all returned to their homes, washed up, and planned to rest in bed.

However, Bai Xinyin lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. The monk's words kept echoing in her mind, and she also thought of the secrets hidden in the mysterious ancient book that Dugu Feng gave her.

Is there any connection between these two events? Could it be that the real purpose of the monk's search for these items is to explore the legendary treasure and the mysterious Kunlun warriors?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Bai Xinyin simply sat up, put on a coat, and decided to go out for a walk to get some fresh air.

The State of Wei is now very powerful and has become the overlord of the Nine Provinces. If the rumored treasures and the mysterious Kunlun soldiers really exist, then it will be a piece of cake for the State of Wei to unify the world!

At present, the various countries in Kyushu are separated and check each other, so they can maintain a relatively peaceful state. However, once unification is achieved, war will inevitably occur, and then the people will be displaced and live in misery.

Thinking of this, Bai Xinyin became a little anxious, frowned, and kept thinking about how to stop this terrible war.

However, she thought again: "The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division." If she forcibly stopped this war, would it hinder the development of society? After all, the course of history is always full of variables and uncertainties.

However, how could a weak woman like me control such a huge situation? This was not a responsibility she could bear! Thinking of this, Bai Xinyin felt a sense of powerlessness.

Forget it, forget it, I'd better stop thinking about it and go back to sleep... Bai Xinyin told herself silently while dragging her exhausted body back to bed.

It was almost dawn when she fell into a drowsy sleep.
