Chapter 62 I should treat him with kindness
That's quite a grand gesture!
Si Chen held the newly issued edict, which bore Li Zicheng's unique mark of destiny, and asked, "What do you all think?"
Xu Wenjue examined the edict from left to right. "This fellow is quite sincere, but I'm afraid he'll try to swallow an elephant whole and end up choking himself."
Looking at the imperial edict, Song Yingxing remarked, "He's actually willing to part with it?"
"Haha, it seems he was frightened by the last flood in Sichuan."
"If they can flood Kaifeng, why can't we?"
General Jiazi and General Jiachen, who controlled the city's two major warrior groups, said, "Whatever you say, we'll do."
Liu Ji stroked the horse's ear. "This imperial advisor is not bad."
Si Chen glanced at everyone and their thoughts were quite clear.
In short, it's all about waiting and seeing.
After all, they never expected things to turn out this way. With their strength, it was already quite good that they could protect one side.
Si Chen said, "Please invite this envoy forward."
The Six Ding Divine Generals slowly entered the Florence Palace from outside. A chill filled the room. The Florence Palace had pipes laid underground, creating a heated room. As soon as the door was closed, it became warm again.
"The one who took over is an old acquaintance."
The Six Ding Gods spread out their palms.
Jiazi stood up, his eyes wide. "So it was you?"
Jia Chen was also extremely surprised, "Weren't you operating in the Ghost Market? Why did you go to Xi'an?"
A tiny, three-inch-long figure jumped down from the hands of the Six Jia Divine Generals.
It was none other than Qing Ji, the spirit of the dried-up swamp, who was involved in the British public contract on the spot.
Qing Ji said, "A good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and a wise man chooses a master to devour. I hold many positions, and you all are really making a fuss over nothing."
Si Chen raised his hand, and the crowd stopped talking.
"Since we are old friends, please take a seat."
"What brings you here today, Da Shun?"
Qing Ji then said, "I dare not presume to offer guidance, but my lord once said that although I have never met him, I have been deeply indebted to him, so I will treat him with the same kindness. The position of National Preceptor can only be held by a great and virtuous teacher! For the sake of all the people and the well-being of the world, I must not refuse."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Si Chen, holding a whisk, casually waved it, and a sudden gust of wind rose in the hall, sweeping the tiny figure closer. "Wait," he said, "explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by 'receiving his kindness without ever meeting him's face'?"
He doesn't remember ever helping Li Zicheng.
Qing Ji added, "The Great Teacher of Virtue and Goodness, who vanquishes demons and monsters, would naturally not remember a nobody from Mizhi. Let's not mention him."
Si Chen shook his head. "These words have probably spread all over the country by now."
Qing Ji laughed and said, "Your wise and insightful teacher is truly wise!"
The crowd glared at him angrily. "You despicable person!"
What do you mean by treating them with kindness? It's clearly just a way to drag them down and commit smears.
Si Chen, holding a whisk, said, "Since that's the case, then let's tell that the ruler of Da Shun that I did not come for fame or fortune, and that I am a person from outside the realm who cannot bear the title of Imperial Preceptor."
"see a visitor out!"
Everyone watched Qing Ji leave with complicated expressions.
"How do I get to the top?"
Xu Wenjue, on the contrary, was not in a hurry. "In that case, it's simple. Let's see how Li Zicheng takes over the world."
Cao Youyi, however, was unwilling to accept this, asking, "Then how should we conduct ourselves?"
Liu Ji looked around and said, "We can go into Sichuan."
At worst, I can go to Sichuan and become the King of Shu.
This is our greatest source of confidence.
Si Chen remained calm and composed, saying, "You should all humble yourselves and await the opportune moment. If Heaven's mandate is in my favor, I will be the King of Peace; if Heaven's mandate is in my favor, I will be the Great Teacher of Virtue."
People thrive when they move, but trees die when they are moved.
That's the logic.
After everyone had left, Si Chen lowered his head. Whose idea was this, the one who devised the plan for Li Zicheng? Could it be Niu Jinxing?
Si Chen had already made up his mind and decided to ignore him.
Lin Daiyu, wearing a silver mask, knelt on one knee, put away Li Zicheng's letter, and placed it on a high shelf. "Great Teacher of Virtue, even the position of Imperial Preceptor cannot tempt you?"
"Imperial Advisor, huh. Just an empty title." Si Chen's eyes gleamed with a hazy blue light. "Xiao Xiang Sword, I need you to help me cultivate and subdue the great demon. Hurry up and come in."
"Hmph! As stiff as a log!"
Inside the monastery, there is a lotus platform with a dome displaying the stars of the heavens and a map of the nine provinces below.
Si Chen wore a dark yellow Taoist robe, with a whisk lying across his knees. His long black hair was tied up with a golden crown. "My karma is deep. I will take this opportunity to lure the Heavenly Demon into my inner realm and use the method of investigating things to refine it into a servant under my command."
Lin Daiyu moved gracefully, gazing at the lotus platform.
Eyes facing each other.
The two gradually became familiar with each other over this period of time. After all, in Si Chen's eyes, she was his treasure, and her life depended entirely on him. Even if he ignored her, she couldn't escape his grasp.
Si Chen said, "If you do your best, I will help you avenge yourself."
"It's a deal!"
A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.
Si Chen closed his eyes slightly, calming his mind and focusing his attention.
Once Si Chen relaxed his mind, he let countless thoughts arise in his heart. At first, they were just a gentle breeze and drizzle, starting from the tip of a duckweed, but later they turned into a storm and dark clouds.
"Master, your mind is in turmoil."
With a soft laugh, Xiao Xiang Sword disappeared into the clouds.
The inner scene no longer depicts the clear and bright world; instead, it transforms into countless palaces, pavilions, and celestial terraces.
A celestial maiden descended from the Land of Illusion, riding the clouds and mist, her robes fluttering, and landed to Si Chen's left and right, raising her jade-like cheeks as she gazed at him with tender affection.
She took off her gauze skirt.
Her clothes were half undone, revealing glimpses of spring.
A single speck of cinnabar on her jade-like arm stood out strikingly.
Spring sunshine shines through the hibiscus-scented tent; the beautiful woman returns to the mandarin duck-shaped mat.
"You lowly servant!" Si Chen suddenly opened his eyes and struck out with a palm, "Show your true form now!"
The celestial maiden was struck on the head with a palm strike and fell into the clouds, revealing her true form: two blue-faced, fanged men.
The Fairy Disenchantment revealed her true form. She had never suffered such humiliation before. "You audacious Taoist! I, the Fairy Disenchantment, am in charge of human affairs and romantic entanglements, the grudges of women and the infatuation of men in this mortal world, and I rule the Realm of Illusion. Today, I will make you pay!"
Countless evil spirits fell to the ground from the horizon, prostrating themselves at their feet.
Furthermore, three thousand yakshas and one hundred thousand evil spirits came in droves, intending to turn this inner world upside down.
"Hahaha. Well done!" Si Chen trembled, and his vast magical power surged out like a rolling river, forming a celestial river that directly pulled a mountain peak from the inner landscape and pressed it down with overwhelming divine power.
Yakshas and demons turn to dust in the Milky Way, only to be reborn there again, repeating this cycle endlessly.
Si Chen clasped his hands together, and the world turned upside down. The celestial membrane formed when the world was created suddenly closed in the middle, the earth rose, and countless whirlwinds swirled around, turning the Yaksha into dust.
"Immortal, this lowly demon was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please retract your supernatural powers!" Fairy Jinghuan struggled to her feet, landing at Sichen's feet and pleading, presenting a mirror with both hands. "This is the Mirror of Love and Lust, the key to the Realm of Illusion!"
"Are you really convinced?"
"I dare not do it again. I will never dare to do it again. I failed to recognize that it was a Heavenly Official in person and offended His Majesty. Please forgive me this time, considering how difficult my cultivation was."
"Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, I'll spare your life for now; it's not difficult." Si Chen stared at it for a long time, then took the Mirror of Love and Lust in his hand and refined it in an instant.
These yakshas, demons, and celestial beings immediately revealed piety, sitting upright in the inner realm, praising the venerable name of Sichen.
There is also an extremely hidden illusion that echoes in the spirit world.
As these celestial demons prayed, incredibly pure incense and spiritual energy accumulated within their bodies.
It is even more refined than the incense offered in the mortal world.
No wonder so many people flock to the Way of Mind; not only are celestial demons treasures, but even fellow disciples are valuable assets that can be converted at any time.
They gained two great demons, Fairy Jinghuan, and a group of beautiful skeletons, who were also a pitiful bunch, having had their souls captured from the mortal realm by Fairy Jinghuan and unable to escape day and night.
