Chapter 0054 Jade Concubine
Wang Ruoyu looked calm, but shook his head secretly.
If someone else saw this, I don't know how excited they would be.
The Nirvana Realm has trapped countless martial arts masters. Many people have been stuck here their entire lives, trying desperately to break through, only to end up discouraged.
If you can't make a breakthrough before the age of fifty, it will be impossible to make a breakthrough again. This is what it means to know one's destiny at fifty.
Li Chengkong walked on it as if it were flat ground, without any obstacles.
"Forget it, it's up to you." Wang Ruoyu shook his head: "But now that you have become a master, you can't stay in Xiaoling Mausoleum, right?"
Li Chengkong smiled: "Even Chief Qin can stay here, why can't I?"
"He——?" Wang Ruoyu curled his lips: "He is disheartened and is hiding here."
"Escape from the world?" Li Chengkong asked hurriedly.
"He also had a miserable life," Wang Ruoyu said, "His wife died young during childbirth, and he and his son depended on each other for life. He was both a father and a mother for twenty years, but his son died in the end."
Li Chengkong suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he hated Song Wuji so much.
Wang Ruoyu asked, "Are you, the Grandmaster, going to stay here forever?"
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "It depends on the opportunity."
"You..." Wang Ruoyu said no more. It was too late to say anything now.
Two days later, Li Chengkong saw a mark by the Shenxiu Lake, which was very faint and difficult to notice.
He entered Dawn City the next evening, followed the secret instructions to a Fulai Restaurant, and sat down at a square table by the window on the second floor.
Sitting opposite the square table was a middle-aged man with a round face, wearing a brocade robe, and a jade ring on his plump white fingers, which was warm, clear and transparent.
He seemed like a rich man, smiling and said, "Li Chengkong, I am Pan Hu, nice to meet you."
He took off the jade ring and handed it to Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong took it, took a look at it, and returned it to him. He was a disciple of Siyang.
Li Chengkong smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, drank a glass of wine, and started talking about business.
"Have you met Princess Qingming?"
Li Chengkong nodded.
"Princess Qingming has met Wang Ruoyu, right?"
“Yes.”
"What did you say?"
"Ask about his recent situation, nothing more."
"Any other news?"
"...Princess Qingming is, after all, just an unloved princess. Is there any value in finding out about her?"
"No matter how unfavored she is, she is still a princess." Pan Hu said with a smile: "What she said carelessly may be important news."
Li Chengkong shook his head.
"Before I came here, Elder Chang asked me to tell you that you were practicing too fast and it would be best to slow down a bit." Pan Hu said gently, "Sometimes practicing too fast is not a good thing. Without enough time to settle down, you will lose strength to continue."
Li Chengkong nodded.
Pan Hu began to talk about some interesting things in the church, who made a fool of themselves, who died, and who got promoted.
Li Chengkong talked for a while and then they parted ways.
After leaving the restaurant, he strolled on the street, weaving in and out of the pedestrians, avoiding the naughty children , and became more and more curious about the Zi Yang Sect.
The disciples of Zi Yang Sect are really diverse, including eunuchs and people from all walks of life. However, Zi Yang Sect is not very famous and others have never even heard of it.
At present, it seems that Zi Yang Sect is not only not harsh on itself, but rather very lenient.
After teaching him the Zi Yang magic, it seemed as if they had forgotten him. This was the first time that someone from the Zi Yang sect came to find him.
…
Shenjing Mingyu Palace
Mingyu Palace is a huge palace made of white jade. Jade is everywhere you look, including the jade bed, jade table, jade stools, and even the tea cups.
Pure white, quiet and peaceful.
Dugu Shuming, wearing a snow-white silk shirt, sat on the edge of the couch and tightly held the hand of a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman was lying on her back on the jade couch, her body covered by a brocade quilt, her cheeks were red, and her facial skin was burnt yellow as if covered with iodine.
There are also black spots the size of fingernails on the face.
The breath exhaled had a faint smell of sulfur from hot springs.
But it can be seen that this middle-aged woman originally had a beautiful appearance, with delicate and soft features, but her beauty was ruined by her skin.
"Mother..." Dugu Shuming said softly, "Are you feeling better?"
The middle-aged woman opened her eyes, which were bloodshot, and smiled tiredly: " Ming'er, you are here."
"feel better now?"
"My mother's body is just like this."
"Mom, you will get better." Dugu Shuming looked determined.
The middle-aged woman smiled, her sallow skin with dark spots still couldn't hide her gentle temperament.
She coughed twice, closed her eyes tiredly, and fell asleep again.
Dugu Shuming stood up gently, lifted the pearl curtain and went outside, where several beautiful palace maids were waiting.
In front of the palace maids were an old eunuch with white beard and an old official in a crimson robe.
Dugu Shuming stretched out his hand, motioning for him to go out and talk.
The old eunuch and the aged official left the hall and came to the white jade steps.
"Doctor Chen, is there no other way?" Dugu Shuming frowned: "No matter what!"
Chen Bingzheng, who was as old as a pine tree, stroked his beard and sighed, "The Jade Concubine's Red Sun True Fire is getting stronger and stronger. It is difficult to take medicine or stone. This old minister can only suppress it with the Nine Needles to Subdue Evil. But this is not a long-term solution. The best way is to find a master who practices the Extremely Cold Heart Method to completely suppress or even drive away the true fire."
Dugu Shuming was silent.
I have searched everywhere for the masters who have practiced the Zhihan Heart Method, but this Red Sun True Fire is too powerful. There are only three masters in the world who can suppress it. However, these three masters are all in high positions and have great power. It is impossible for them to stay in Shenjing forever to suppress the true fire for my mother.
In the final analysis, it was because the mother's status was not high enough. If it were the queen, these three masters would never refuse and would even volunteer.
She said coldly: "Is there no other way?"
Chen Bingzheng lowered his head with a look of shame: "I am an old minister with little talent and knowledge, and I am sorry that I can't do anything."
Dugu Shuming stared at him coldly without saying a word.
Chen Bingzheng bowed his head.
The silent Dugu Shuming put him under tremendous pressure.
Princess Qingming had a bad temper and was also a very filial person. She would definitely be furious in such a situation, and she might even vent her anger on herself.
"Your Highness, let Lord Chen go back and rest first." The old eunuch who had been silent said softly.
He has a simple and honest appearance and a medium build. His voice is neither low nor high, but gentle and mellow, with a hint of magnetism and is extremely pleasant to the ear.
"Well, thank you, Lord Chen." Dugu Shuming retracted his cold gaze and clasped his fists.
"I'm leaving now." Chen Bingzheng bowed and left.
Dugu Shuming stood with his hands behind his back at the white jade steps, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
A bright moon like a jade plate rotates slowly, emitting soft and clear light, making the Mingyu Palace even more quiet and cold.
Everything around her was quiet, but her heart was in a mess.
The old eunuch said softly, "Your Highness, worrying and worrying will not help. The Queen will be worried when she sees you like this."
Dugu Shuming turned around and left, and Xiao Meiying and Xiao Miaoxue, who were standing on the corridor, hurriedly followed.
Dugu Shuming said: "No need to follow me."
"Miss, where are you going?" Xiao Miaoxue asked hurriedly.
"Looking for my father!" After saying this, Dugu Shuming disappeared from the gate of Mingyu Palace.
