Chapter 979 Imperial Purple Qi
In the palace, Li Er held the Qiankun mirror and looked at the purple air in the mirror excitedly. After a long time, he slowly calmed down.
He took a long breath, looked at Lin Zhongtian calmly and said, "Sorry, I lost my composure for a moment and made you laugh."
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't care.
Li Er looked at the Qiankun mirror in his hand, and then looked at Lin Zhongtian behind the desk. After hesitating for a while, he still said, "I wonder if you are willing to be in front of me?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and replied, "Of course."
At this time, Li Er's mentality was completely different from before.
If he was still wary and suspicious of Lin Zhongtian before, then now, after untying the knot in his heart, he inexplicably had more respect and trust for Lin Zhongtian, and even a hint of closeness.
Of course, a change in mentality does not mean that the previous vigilance and doubt will disappear.
Li Er's suspicion as a master is still at work. At most, it is overshadowed by the excitement and excitement of seeing the purple air at this moment.
After getting Lin Zhongtian's reply, Li Er turned the mirror around and pointed it at Lin Zhongtian.
The young man in white stood in the mirror. His handsome face did not change much, but there were two different colors around him.
One of them was a hazy white mist, like fairy air, lingering on Lin Zhongtian's body.
The other was a misty flame, as bright as the sun, which kept burning the white mist to boiling.
Li Er stared at the white mist and red fire in the mirror in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the red dust fire?"
Lin Zhongtian sighed and said: "That's right."
Li Er opened his eyes wide and asked anxiously: "Then this white mist..."
Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "I know what your majesty is thinking, but this white mist is not fairy air, at most it can only be regarded as spiritual energy."
"As your majesty thinks, Lin has indeed inherited the immortal way, but there is still a long way to go before he can ascend to the immortal world. If not, Lin would not have risked coming to the mortal world to find Yun Ye..."
At this point, Lin Zhongtian sighed , said with some emotion: "It's only been a few months, and Lin has been stained with half of the red dust fire. I don't know how many years it will take to smooth it out in the future."
Li Er didn't care about the so-called red dust fire, but asked excitedly: "So, sir, are you really a disciple of the immortal?"
Lin Zhongtian nodded, then shook his head: "I am indeed from Baiyujing, and I am indeed a fairy inheritance, but a real fairy will not have the intention of accepting disciples. My master and Yun Ye's master are both losers on the road to immortality!"
Hearing this, Li Er was not discouraged, but nodded excitedly.
"Yes, yes, Yun Ye said so too. He said that Xiaoyaozi once took half a step, but eventually retreated."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't be too happy too early. Even if Lin has solved your doubts, your Majesty will definitely not be able to seek immortality."
Lin Zhongtian's light words were like a basin of cold water, pouring hard on Li Er's head.
Li Er stared at him blankly, and couldn't help asking unwillingly: "Why?"
Lin Zhongtian sighed softly: "Your Majesty, everyone in the world has the fire of the mortal world, even someone like Lin, who is out of the world, can't avoid being disturbed by the fire of the mortal world."
"But your majesty is in the center of the world, but there is only purple air lingering around your body, and not even a little fire of the mortal world can be seen."
"... Your Majesty, do you know why this is?"
After hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, the already smart Li Er finally reacted.
He opened his eyes wide and fell on the couch in a daze.
"Could it be... Could it be..."
"That's right!" Lin Zhongtian sighed, "Just like the official uniforms in the court change from red to purple, the mortal fire is also like this. The purple air on your majesty is actually the extreme state of the mortal fire, which is thousands of times more fierce than the mortal fire on ordinary people."
"As long as there is the purple air of the emperor, your majesty will never be able to contact the spiritual energy, let alone become an immortal."
"Everything you gain must be lost. Your majesty, as the emperor of mankind, is already the ultimate in the world. Naturally, you cannot live forever. This is the destiny of heaven, a drink and a bite!"
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's leisurely words, Li Er had to admit that what Lin Zhongtian said was indeed reasonable, no matter how reluctant he was.
This logically self-consistent theory not only conforms to the facts he knows, but also conforms to the law in history books that immortals do not appear and emperors do not live long.
So that's it, so that's it...
No wonder the first emperor ruled the world and searched all over the world, but in the end he found nothing and died with hatred.
Li Er held the Qiankun Mirror in his right hand, fell down on the soft couch, and laughed at the emperor in the mirror with purple air.
Just like that, Li Er sat for a long time in a daze, until the sky darkened, he slowly came back to his senses.
"...Mr. Lin, why are you still here?"
Li Er looked at Lin Zhongtian beside the table in surprise.
Lin Zhongtian blinked and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this Qiankun Mirror..."
Li Er was stunned when he heard the words, and then subconsciously retracted his hand and looked at Lin Zhongtian vigilantly.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian's mouth twitched, and Li Er came back to his senses before he could speak.
When he realized what he had done, Li Er's old face turned red, coughed twice, and said seriously: "As the saying goes, no one comes to the temple for no reason, sir, this trip should not just be for offering treasures, right?"
As expected of an emperor, this possessiveness and shameless spirit are simply amazing.
Fortunately, Lin Zhongtian had no intention of taking back the Universe Mirror. It was just a useless gadget, not even a magic weapon.
Lin Zhongtian didn't care about this kind of thing. He put on such a posture mainly to put on a show in front of Li Er.
Hearing the word "treasure offering" emphasized by Li Er, Lin Zhongtian pretended to be helpless and sighed: "That's natural. In addition to offering treasures to His Majesty, Lin also came to intercede for his junior brother."
As soon as he said this, Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Zhongtian understood what he meant and planned to use this mirror to make a deal with him.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "I see, sir, don't worry, I will only lock him up for one night and I will release him tomorrow."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and said: "In that case, I'll take my leave!"
"Wait!"
Li Er quickly called Lin Zhongtian, hesitated for a moment, and asked a little embarrassedly: "I have been absentminded for a long time just now. Why don't you just take this treasure away, sir, but wait here for me to wake up?"
Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said: "Your Majesty has also seen that the spiritual energy in Lin's body will be burned by the red dust fire in this world. Your Majesty's purple energy is the ultimate red dust fire, and is naturally more intense than the ordinary red dust fire."
Li Er thought thoughtfully: "Sir, what you mean is that the immortal's magic can't hurt me?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
Li Er stared at Lin Zhongtian closely and said, "What about the thunder in the daytime...is this the same?"
Lin Zhongtian was waiting for this sentence and immediately said with a chuckle: "The so-called mortal things are mortal. Your Majesty is in the national destiny. If you want to hurt Your Majesty, you can only use mortal means, such as swords, sticks, and strong bows. crossbow."
As he spoke, Lin Zhongtian raised his right hand, and a translucent energy condensed from his palm.
Li Er was shocked when he saw this, and then he saw Lin Zhongtian hand over the ball of energy, motioning for him to touch it.
Li Er came back to his senses, looked at Lin Zhongtian deeply, and then raised his hand without hesitation to explore Jinqi.
"Chichi——"
The translucent energy twisted and made a hissing sound, which was completely eliminated by Li Er's stretched out fingers in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Li Er looked surprised, and finally a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart.
At this point, most of Lin Zhongtian's goals for this trip have been achieved.
Whether it is Bai Yujing's quest for immortality, or the immortal arts in the daytime, or the thunder from the sky, it has now come to an end for the time being.
After Li Er got the Xianbao Universe Mirror and heard Lin Zhongtian's deceptive words, he would probably fall into the sage's time in a short period of time and find it difficult to show any interest in other things.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian smiled and cupped his hands and said: "If your Majesty has nothing to do, I will take my leave!"
"Oh, by the way, without spiritual energy nourishment, this treasure can only be used three times a day. After three times of exhaustion, Your Majesty can put this treasure under the sun in the early morning to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and restore the aura."
Li Er looked at the Universe Mirror thoughtfully, nodded and said, "I've written it down."
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, turned around immediately, and walked away.
Li Erduan sat on the low couch, playing with the Universe Mirror in his hand. It was not until he was sure that Lin Zhongzhen had left that he quickly stood up, carefully stuffed the Universe Mirror into his arms, and hurried out of the hall.
"His Majesty!"
The palace people waiting outside the palace saw Li Er walking out in a hurry and saluted quickly.
They knew nothing about what was going on in the palace. If it were any other time, Li Er would definitely punish them for lax guarding.
But now, after hearing many secrets of immortality and getting the 'heavy treasure' of the Universe Mirror, Li Er only wanted to conceal the matter, and how could he have the thought to punish these unknowing servants.
Li Er waved his sleeves and robe, grabbed an old eunuch, looked at him and asked: "Where is the queen?"
Not long after, Li Er hurriedly arrived at the palace where Empress Changsun was. Then he withdrew and pulled the unaware Empress Changsun onto the bed. He covered the curtain and said solemnly:
"I have just received a treasure. After much thought, I can only share it with Guanyin."
Queen Changsun was startled for a moment, then her face turned slightly red, as if she thought of something else.
Li Er was also stunned for a moment, and then he reacted with helplessness on his face.
They were an old couple, so he didn't know what Queen Changsun was thinking.
Li Er lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Mr. Guanyin, don't think too much. What I said is a real treasure!"
With that said, Li Er took out the Universe Mirror from his arms and said proudly: "This treasure is called the Universe Mirror. It can not only exorcise evil spirits and subjugate ghosts, but also reflect everything in the world. Do you know, Maid Guanyin, who gave this to me?"
Queen Changsun looked at the Universe Mirror suspiciously, frowned and said, "Could it be Yun Ye?"
Li Er smiled and said: "It's almost the same, it's that senior brother Yun Ye."
"It turns out it's him!"
Empress Changsun thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that...he came here to plead for Yun Ye?"
"Indeed." Li Er replied casually, and then said with a smile, "Let's not talk about it for now. Mr. Lin said that this treasure can only be used three times a day. I have already used it twice on him and myself. This third time Next time, I will naturally leave it to Guanyin."
Empress Changsun still didn't understand the function of the Qiankun Mirror, but seeing Li Er's expectation, she could only pick up the mirror in confusion.
"ah!"
Empress Changsun was startled by the purple aura lingering in the mirror, and couldn't help but look at the mirror in astonishment.
Li Er clapped his hands and laughed, and said cheerfully: "Guanyin's maid is indeed a cloud made of purple energy. It is fitting that you hold the position of queen and be the mother of the world!"
Empress Changsun stared at Li Er in a daze, seemingly not understanding the situation.
Seeing this, Li Er had to stop smiling and repeat what Lin Zhongtian said.
After hearing this, Empress Changsun's body trembled, and she was both happy and surprised.
She immediately bowed down, leaned on the bed, and said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"The one who knows me is the Empress!"
Li Er smiled and helped Empress Changsun up, whispering: "There is no one here, Guanyin maid does not need to be polite. Now this treasure has been used three times. After the sun is exposed in the morning, I will trouble Guanyin maid to take this treasure and go to the bedroom of the emperor for me."
Empress Changsun was slightly startled, and then her face was complicated: "Your Majesty means..."
Li Er sighed lightly, looked at the Qiankun mirror in Empress Changsun's hand, and said in a faint tone: "I want to know whether the abdicated emperor still has purple air..."
