Chapter 1695: The Sky Is High and the Sun Is Far Away, and the Shadows Are Wrong. The Orioles and the Beauties Ask the Slave of the Zither

Han Gong Emperor Realm, Barren Mountain.

Barren Mountain is just as its name suggests, no vegetation grows.

Looking around, there are only jagged rocks and sandstones, and the entire mountain range is buried in the rolling dust and smoke of the wind, making people wonder whether there is a civilization inside.

Deep in the barren mountain where no one dares to set foot, Yue Gongli is desperately trying to condense his body.

But he has used up all the holy medicines that Ah Si gave him, and his body still failed to condense.

"It's going to be a big problem!"

Yue Gongli is about to collapse.

This is the 368th time that he has failed to condense his body.

The medicine that Ah Si prepared thoughtfully was used up as early as the 18th time - Ah Si was even thoughtful enough to think that he would fail 17 times!

How outrageous is this?

But reality is always more outrageous.

Could it be that I am really not talented, or that God wants to kill me, so I will not be allowed to condense my body in the place of breaking the law?

"Saucy old Taoist, it must be you who did it!"

Yuegongli roared to the sky, wishing he could rush back to the Holy Land and cut the damn thing into pieces.

As early as when Dao Qiongcang kindly helped him to shape his body in the Relics of God, he guessed that this guy must have a backup plan.

As soon as he returned to the Holy Land, Yuegongli didn't even dare to stay in the Central Region, and went directly back to the Han Palace Emperor Realm to save his life.

He even chose this place of law-breaking - the barren mountain!

No matter how mysterious Dao Qiongcang is, he can't get past the intricate and broken rules of this place, and continue to interfere with his self-destruction and reshaping of his body.

He self-destructed, and the process was very smooth.

At the moment of liberation, Yuegongli's soul ascended to heaven, and he felt so painful and happy.

"This is the first time I self-destruct in my life, and it will be the only time."

"My body and hair are from my parents, but now I throw them away, which is a shame."

"And you, Dao Qiong Cang, just wait for me to punish you severely next time!"

At that time, Yue Gongli was so confident, and was determined to start all over again.

However, self-destruction was simple, and the subsequent process of reshaping the body was full of obstacles.

Either the details of the reshaping process went wrong and led to failure, or the reshaping body was a little wilted and needed to be re-done...

"This is the second time, and it will be the only two times."

"This is the third time. As the saying goes, things never happen more than three times."

"This is the ninth time. Nine is the number of extremes. I can't make any more mistakes, right?"

"I'm stupid. I can't..."

Bang!

Yue Gongli exploded again and again, and it hurt again and again.

It was only the first time that was satisfying. Every explosion after the failure of reshaping the body was torture.

He couldn't figure it out!

Even if Dao Qiongcang left a back-up plan, it could still affect him across the barren mountain. Why would he trip him up at this time?

How boring!

Wouldn't it be nice if you kept this plan and detonated it at an important moment in the future?

Are you here just for fun?

When he failed for the 399th time, Yue Gongli was about to be drained dry by himself, and his soul body became extremely weak.

He could no longer restrain his crazy voice, and his soul sound was angry in all directions, but it could not reach this barren mountain:

"Dao Qiongcang, I will kill you!"

...

"Is Master Li still not well?"

Outside the barren mountain, more than ten people were surrounding the "line" that Master Li drew before he closed his eyes and told everyone not to cross it.

Except for an octogenarian who was gathered at the head, most of them were maids from Tingyu Pavilion.

Originally, Master Li was tired of life and went to self-destruct. Everyone had a rare holiday. No matter how crazy the content of the news itself was, it was good news anyway.

But even though they were called during the break, no matter how impatient they were, the maids could still show their worries on the surface.

"Don't worry, Master Hui. Since Master Li has the confidence to self-destruct and draws this line to prevent us from getting close, it means that he must be tired... uh, confident!" A maid responded.

"Well, Master Li always has a sense of measure when doing things, so we don't have to worry too much." Another maid swallowed her yawn and wanted to joke, "It's a lie, but it's better to go back to sleep."

"Master Li is in a dead end, and self-destruction is indeed a big deal... Maybe this is an open conspiracy. He is waiting inside for someone with bad intentions to break in without permission so that he can catch him in the act. Master Li is always suspicious... well, resourceful."

"Hmm, hmm, Master Li is wise!"

The chirping of the birds and the noise is so noisy!

Also, Master Li is not here, why are you flattering him? Are you talking to me now?

The old man Yuegong Hui, who was called Hui Lao, almost had his head swollen from hearing the devilish sounds in his ears.

It was really noisy!

How could Yuegong Li stand it?

There had long been rumors in the Hangong Emperor Realm that the maids in Tingyu Pavilion were beautiful as fairies, but they had poor patience.

He had seen the beauty.

He had also seen the poor patience today.

I am the Lord of the Guardian Spirit Hall, and I came here in person to ask for instructions from Master Li. This clearly shows that something big is going on.

You tell me, he is playing with self-destruction out of boredom, and what kind of conspiracy is he playing?

Who in the Hangong Emperor Realm dares to have bad intentions?

Even if there is, he would not be so stupid as to rush into this line and seek his own death!

——Even without a physical body, Master Li’s strength is not something that an ordinary half-saint can match!

Yuegong Hui said impatiently: "I am not worried about Master Li’s safety, I just want to ask, how long do I have to wait for him?"

"I don’t know about that."

"Last time Young Master Li said he was going to the Holy Continent, we all thought he was going there secretly again. He didn't even tell us that he was invited by the Taoist Palace Master to be the... yes, the red-robed Taoist Master."

"That's right, he didn't tell us anything, and he didn't take us to play. Mr. Hui, if you have any important matters, you don't have to tell us."

"Yes, yes, we are useless. We are of no use at all. We can only give Mr. Li a shoulder squeeze and a pat on the back. We have no strength!"

Wow……

Yue Gong told me how old she was, and she was speechless.

Is this the world of young people? He decided to take a hard look at these maids after Mr. Li came out.

What's the use of keeping this?

Is it purely pleasing to the eye?

"This line..."

Huelao's eyes were fixed on the thread on the ground.

The wind and sand in the barren mountains are so strong that the lines are actually blurred.

But when the maids saw him coming, they quickly stopped him and placed a "No Traveling in This Place" sign beside them and warned him.

Before Yue Gong's words could be asked, these smart maids seemed to know what he wanted to ask and replied:

"If you want to enter, please go in by yourself, we don't dare."

"Yes, the price for exceeding the order is death. We only get three thousand spiritual crystals a month, so there is no need to do this."

"The main reason is that Tingyuge's aura concentration is very high, otherwise I wouldn't want to leave home. I would miss my mother."

"Yes, when it comes to home..."

"Shut up!" Yue Gongji shouted angrily, and his tiger eyes swept over him.

The maids all lowered their heads, touching their skirts, looking at their breasts, or stepping on stones. They were very busy.

Just not scared.

What kind of witches are these... Yue Gongjie couldn't stand it any longer. If it wasn't a serious matter, he would have wanted to leave this ghost place of Barren Mountain right now.

"Is this a big deal? If there is anyone in Tingyu Pavilion who dares to go beyond Young Master Li's order, it must be the fourth elder."

"Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Hui, please hurry up and find the fourth elder. If he comes, he will definitely dare to disobey the order, and then he will take you to meet Mr. Li in the barren mountains."

"But it was Ah Si who was in trouble!" Yue Gongji shouted angrily, unable to bear it.

In fact, he rarely gets angry. The Order of the Soul Protector Palace is looking at the blood soul tokens of all the high-level cultivators in the Han Palace Emperor Realm, and they need a calm mind the most.

If you are always angry, it is possible that the person died somewhere, and the sound of the broken token is heard, and even the palace order cannot hear it.

Previously, in the Soul Guarding Hall, something happened to Ah Si's blood soul token, which proved that something had happened to him.

But he is not dead yet, there is room for redemption.

Yue Gongjie made a preliminary investigation of the situation and found out that Ah Si went out on orders and went to the Holy God Continent.

Look at this situation...

It also involves the Holy Continent...

All I can say is that the situation is huge.

But when it came time to find that one person who could make the final decision, at the critical moment, the Han Palace Emperor Realm was leaderless.

and!

The first one is self-destructing!

What is this?

The collapse of Yuegongjie was not because of the maid, but because of today's events, one after another was outrageous.

He quickly interrupted his chaotic thoughts. Recently, his mind has been a little messy, and his mood has fluctuated extremely frequently. It must be that he didn't sleep well.

"What do you think?"

Yue Gongjie looked at the group of maids and asked without shame.

In fact, it can be seen that the maids in Tingyu Pavilion are very smart, they are just pretending to be stupid.

These people follow Mr. Li on weekdays, and they must have learned more than just some bad habits.

Okay, there should be one too?

Maybe there would be someone among them who could give me reasonable suggestions based on Mr. Li's way of looking at things, so that I could be inspired.

that's enough!

"Ah? Something happened to the fourth elder..."

But the maids who heard the sound were once again touching their skirts, looking at their breasts, or stepping on stones, and they seemed very busy.

No one is a fool.

The fourth elder is the shadow of Mr. Li. If something happens to him, it will definitely be a big deal.

This is something that the people above have to consider. What use are we maids talking about?

Also, what are you picturing?

Will he be dragged out to take the blame afterwards?

"Whoever can give useful advice, even just a few words that may be useful, this spirit tower belongs to her." Yue Gongjie took out a spirit tower filled with spiritual energy, with a serious and serious expression.

The Spiritual Tower is valuable. In addition to being used for cultivation, it is mainly worth 100 million spiritual crystals.

The little maids who only received three thousand spiritual crystals a month, couldn't they pounce on them when they saw this, use their smart heads, and come up with useful suggestions?

But the spirit tower was lingering in the hand for a long time, and the maids only raised their eyes to glance at it, and then looked away.

Just kidding, a spirit tower wants to buy our lives, who will be fooled?

Of all of you present, is there any one of you who really wants to be a maid in Tingyu Pavilion for three thousand spirit crystals a month?

Who didn't save some money to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, but then withered away after discovering that Mr. Li was not very interested in him?

Besides, if the family doesn't have any small savings from Lingque, do you really think that no one wants the position of Tingyuge maid, so you can get it through an honest election?

A spiritual palace?

Let’s send away the spiritual refiners from Holy God Continent!

Yue Gongjie also couldn't keep up with the rhythm of young people. After seeing that Lingque couldn't impress people, he pinched out an ownerless token:

"Then again, the Soul Guarding Hall is short of a manpower recently..."

The maids raised their eyes and then looked back. There was a faint laughter from somewhere, but they quickly suppressed it.

Yuegong Hui knew who was laughing, but as the Lord Commander of the Guardian Spirit Hall, it was not easy for him to argue with a little maid.

His old face turned red, and he could only take back the token.

Yes, working in the Guardian Spirit Hall is not as comfortable as working in the Tingyu Pavilion.

The Guardian Spirit Hall is old, and the Tingyu Pavilion is young.

The Guardian Spirit Hall has heavy tasks, and the Tingyu Pavilion has frequent rest.

These maids sat in the best seats at the most beautiful age, and they have clearly reached the "peak of life". Neither internal nor external things can move them.

What should we do!

These people are too unambitious!

Is there no one who wants to move their butts, climb up a little bit, and get rid of the title of "maid"?

Yuegong Hui was embarrassed, and didn't know how to speak for a long time.

"Young Master Li is not here, go find the head of the family!"

In the end, the maids of the Tingyu Pavilion couldn't bear it and gave a shallow opinion.

This voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal and pleasant, not like the maids here, but the fairy in the sky who couldn't bear to make the old man embarrassed.

"Today's matter will not be investigated later, just pretend that nothing happened, I swear!" Yue Gonghui took a deep breath, knowing the maids' worries, and pretended not to know who was giving advice, and responded to the air in a muffled voice: "The old master is also in seclusion."

"Wait."

"If you can wait, why ask... cough, then I will wait patiently."

"Choose another shadow."

Wow...

Who gave the advice! Who!

Yue Gonghui almost couldn't hold it in, and wanted to pull him out and beat him to death.

But then he thought, the old master and the young master were no longer there, and the shadow was in trouble, so it seemed that choosing a new shadow to manage the affairs was indeed a good suggestion?

Thinking about this carefully, you can also read that the maids are interpreting the fundamental drawbacks of the current situation of Hangong Emperor Realm:

Two generations use the same shadow!

If there were two shadows, this wouldn't have happened.

Even if something happened to the new shadow, the old patriarch and the young patriarch were both in seclusion, so there must be another old shadow who dared not run around, just in case something unexpected happened.

Damn, they really have something...

The selection of the new shadow should indeed be put on the agenda. Recently, things have been wrong, and things have always happened...

Yue Gonghui answered seriously to the air: "There is no time. The old patriarch and the young patriarch are both in seclusion. Even if we want to select a new shadow, they have to pass the last level. It is essentially a dead cycle."

The maids were still busy with their own things, and they all bowed their heads and buried their chests. After hearing the voice, they could hardly speak.

Speak!

Give some more suggestions!

They are all very good suggestions, and there will be rewards for all of them later!

Yue Gonghui waited for a while, but no one spoke, so he took out 18 Lingque and put them on the ground, and decided to let the maids take them after he left to avoid the embarrassment of dividing the spoils.

But after a glance...

This looks too outrageous, how can there be a reward thrown on the ground? This looks like a reward for the Holy Spirit Continent Spirit Refiner!

After thinking about it, Yue Gonghui took back the Lingque.

The maids all looked up at him, and Yue Gonghui was startled and waved his hands: "No..."

He put each Lingque into a space ring and put it on the ground to show respect and pay for knowledge.

It's still a bit shabby!

After thinking about it, Yue Gonghui took out his beloved small square table made of red ant wood, which he and his old friend usually used for drinking.

He placed the square table in front of the "No Entry" sign and presented the space rings one by one. This looked a bit decent.

It was a bit like seeing off Master Li... Yue Gonghui suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and looked at the maids expectantly:

"Anything else?"

The maids stole a glance at the solemn little square table, then lowered their heads. After a long time, someone whispered:

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work..."

"There is no solution."

Wow...

Yue Gonghui had the urge to pick up the little square table and slap the eighteen rings into the maids' foreheads one by one.

But he held back the twitch of his mouth, and waited quietly without saying anything.

They are the think tank of Tingyu Pavilion, and they will definitely be able to give useful suggestions!

"If you can't choose a new shadow, choose the old shadow." Sure enough, a kind-hearted fairy spoke up.

But this was so confusing that Yue Gonghui didn't even get around it for a while, "Where is the old shadow?"

The old shadow is Ah Si.

The only one who can be related to the old shadow is Master Li, whose previous identity was a shadow.

Going forward...

There's nothing more!

The shadows before them were buried in the soil, and the semi-saint status was passed down. Who is qualified to be older?

Hangong Emperor Realm is not the other four families. It has not selected a shadow for hundreds of years. I almost forgot what the process is... Yuegong Hui frowned and repeated: "Where is the old shadow?"

Fairy: "Think."

Think?

Are these maids stupid?

How can a shadow exist just by thinking?

Can I create a shadow out of thin air and take charge just by thinking?

"Oh!"

At this time, a maid looked at the sky, slapped her forehead, and said in annoyance: "It's time, Master Li hasn't come out yet, I have to take his place to deliver food to my sister, I almost forgot."

Thump thump thump.

After that, she ran away.

Boom!

Yuegong Hui was struck by lightning, and his whole body trembled a few times. Looking at the back of the maid who left, he couldn't speak.

You, you guys...

Don't, don't...

Reverse Tiangang!

It's simply the opposite of Tiangang!

Just for the sake of Ah Si, is it possible that I have to ask that sinner to come out of the cold prison and come to the council?

Then I must not become another sinner?

"I also want to see Sister Nu. Sister Dai'er is waiting for me."

"Master Li and Sister Nu have a good relationship. I also want to listen to Sister Nu play the piano. Her music is the sound of nature."

"Hmm, Mr. Li is not here, so it is our task to accompany Sister Nu well, otherwise he will be blamed!"

"Sister Nu is so beautiful, Sister Nu is a fairy."

"Speaking of which, it seems that every time Mr. Li encounters a difficult problem, he will ask Sister Nu..."

Half of the girls, Yingying and Yanyan, left happily.

The remaining half lowered their heads and continued to touch their skirts, look at their breasts, and step on stones around the small square table. They were not interested in the space ring or the spiritual palace at all.

I am also not interested in the small square table made of red ant wood.

presumptuous……

So unbridled...

Yue Gongjie tried to calm himself down.

It’s so peaceful to think about the current problem, but it’s really scary to think about it!

It doesn't matter if the four of them are dead.

The key is that he has too many things in his mind. He is a shadow. If this information falls outside...

Even if it is lost, it is possible that someone from the Holy Spirit Continent will dig it out later.

After all, wherever the semi-holy person is left, that is the center of the world, and someone will always find it.

This is the opportunity for canonization!

"If this matter is not handled well, there will be big problems in the Han Palace Emperor Realm."

"Their suggestions were not wrong. They took things for granted and simplified them. But it was me who was stupid."

"You have to ask, you really have to ask!"

"But……"

But that’s the Moon Palace Slave!

In the realm of the Han Palace Emperor, a "Saint Slave" who should have been executed, or even punished by his clan, or at the worst, exiled!

Due to various unexplainable relationships, the Moon Palace Slave survived, but was imprisoned in the Cold Prison for life.

Her name has even become a taboo, even if the maid of Yu Pavilion dares to mention it so bluntly.

"Moon Palace Slave...Miss..."

Yue Gongjie was completely absent-minded and his thoughts were completely confused.

Many images that he had been forced to uncover flashed through his mind, and the long-lost honorific he had given to that person many years ago came to mind. The key was that he read it out loud unconsciously.

The maids looked up in surprise.

They dared to call them that because Mr. Li doted on them.

But after thirty years in the Han Palace Emperor's realm, no one is so bold as to dare to scream directly.

"no……"

After Yue Gongjie reacted, his face turned pale with fright and he waved his hands repeatedly.

The maids lowered their heads again, as if they hadn't heard anything just now.

We are all smart people, and selective deafness is a spiritual skill that must be learned to live in the world.

Yue Gong's right eyelid twitched wildly. He pressed his eyes, feeling that he couldn't stay here for long.

"You guys wait here, Master. As soon as there is any news, come and deliver this order personally."

"I almost forgot. There is still something going on at the Soul Guarding Hall. I have to take care of it. You all should be busy first..."

Yue Gongjie spoke in a panic, becoming more and more confused as he spoke. Finally, after finishing a few sentences, he flashed up to the sky.

Stop in the void.

The void is empty.

Yue Gongjie's heart felt even more empty and numb.

"Are you going to ask?"

"The sinner, the Moon Palace Slave..."

Yue Gongjie suddenly raised his eyes and looked towards the sky.

Somehow, he always felt like there was an invisible big eye from the sky staring at him.

However, when the holy thoughts are swept away, it is clear and nothing.

Strange.

Why have I been having delusions lately?

After Young Master Li came back, why did he feel that everything was not going well in the Han Palace Emperor Realm?

Selectively forgetting the weirdness, Yue Gongji quickly returned to his thoughts on business:

"I'm just going to ask for advice, or use her advice to go deep into the barren mountains to see Mr. Li, but I won't take her out of the cold prison."

"She is so kind-hearted, she will definitely agree, right?"

"In this case, Mr. Li will not blame you, and everything will be business as usual in Han Prison..."

Is this okay?

Well, there should be no problem.
