Chapter 360: Talking to Flowers
Li Qi stood up, then bowed and saluted.
Then, there was a sound of the door being pushed open, followed by the sound of light footsteps.
Because he lowered his head, Li Qi could only see his feet.
Well...
Even with shoes on, he couldn't see his feet.
However, he could find that the shoes were not of the Tang style, but the kind of women's shoes commonly seen in the Baiyue area, which made the feet look smaller, and the soles were very thin, looking more like a layer of socks than shoes.
Looking up, the calves were not the kind of gorgeous clothes, but just ordinary long skirts, but the skirts were embroidered with trumpet creeper patterns.
However, the embroidered trumpet creeper pattern did not cling to something, but extended upwards along the light-like things.
It seemed that she deliberately changed this point in order to avoid being accused of clinging.
As Li Qi had guessed before, the flower that dared to compete with the sun must be a bloody flower, and she would rather stop growing than crawl on the ground.
"Why don't you speak, sir?" The tone of the Lord of Lingxiao was slightly curious.
Li Qi stood up straight and looked directly at the Lord of Lingxiao.
His eyes were filled with curiosity and expectation.
Because Li Qi had heard of the reputation of the Flower God.
Think about it, that is the Flower God, a famous place for beauties, sought after by countless people.
Although Li Qi had no idea about the Flower God, he was a little curious and wanted to know what the Flower God, who was praised by many people, looked like.
However, when he looked up, Li Qi's eyes were slightly stiff.
But the Lingxiao Flower God in front of him, although it was indeed a beauty...
Tall, dark green clouds, bright jade face, a kind of proud temperament, eyebrows and eyes are not weak, there is a sense of pride, but it is not released, it looks quite approachable.
But...
It seems that I have seen too many beauties recently, and my aesthetics have been raised too high.
To be honest, the Lingxiao Flower God in front of me is slightly inferior to the rabbit in appearance, and is at the same level as the two Wu Yu who serve the Great Earth Witch God.
You know, Li Qi now even thinks that the rabbit is not so thrilling, because the most beautiful face he has ever seen is actually his self-demon.
When she turned into a beauty, to be honest, Li Qi really didn't know how he could bear it.
I guess it was all because of the fear of the demon that he could suppress it.
So now seeing the flower god like this...
To be honest, I am a little disappointed.
"Young master seems a little disappointed, I wonder if Ling Xiao is rude or what?" Seeing this, Ling Xiao Flower God sat down in front of Li Qi's desk and asked lightly.
Li Qi reacted and immediately bowed again: "It's the boy who is rude, I hope the king will forgive me."
This time it was really a bit embarrassed...
Obviously, Ling Xiao Flower God was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't tear his face. After all, no matter what, he was only a seventh-grade, and he should have a basic respect for the fifth-grade.
Even if he is a young master, he can't be too rude to those who are stronger than him.
So Li Qi apologized immediately and sat opposite her.
It can't be delayed any longer, otherwise if Ling Xiao Flower God's dissatisfaction ferments in her heart, then Li Qi feels that he might be driven out.
After all, he has a certain degree of understanding of Ling Xiao Flower God, and knows her temper. She can really give up her future for face, and would rather break than bend.
Fortunately, after Li Qi apologized, the atmosphere eased temporarily.
"Just now the king asked me why I came. It can be seen that the king does not know my identity yet and only thinks I am an ordinary young master." Li Qi said immediately, trying to mobilize the other party's curiosity and bring the topic to the point, so as not to let Ling Xiao King's unhappy mood continue.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's to give Li Qi face, anyway, it seems to work, Ling Xiao King asked: "Young master said he is unusual? What's unusual about that?"
"The kid actually came from Chang'an Imperial College." Li Qi said.
Hearing that Li Qi was from the Imperial Academy, the Lord of Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said in astonishment: "You are the hostage who kidnapped the direct descendant of Luofu Mountain and was sent to Chang'an?!"
Uh...
Li Qi touched his face.
A little embarrassed.
"It's not... kidnapping. My wife and I have a good relationship. It's just a little unexpected. Everything I do is from the heart, and there is no impoliteness or presumption." Li Qi stood up and explained quickly.
If it only involved himself, he would not bother to defend himself, but it involved the reputation of Rabbit, so he couldn't be careless.
If the true inheritance became 'kidnapping the disciples of Luofu Mountain', there would be a lot of rumors at that time.
The Lord of Lingxiao did not comment, but looked at Li Qi: "Well, I see, so why did you come out of the Imperial Academy and come to Lingxiao Kingdom?"
"I came to pay a visit to the Lord and want to visit Zunfo Mountain. I hope the Lord will allow it." Li Qi said.
"Zunfo Mountain? I didn't forbid others to go there. You can go there directly. Why do you need to ask me?" said the Lord of Lingxiao.
Then, she raised her eyes and carefully observed the young man in front of her.
The matter of Luofu Mountain and Tang State was a hot topic in Baiyue. All the rulers of Baiyue received instructions and orders from Wushen Mountain, requiring them to do their best to find Luofu Niangniang and all people or things related to Luofu Mountain, regardless of life or death.
This matter even developed into a full-scale confrontation between humans and witches. For this reason, a great fortune teller and a great blessing came to Baiyue in person and left a relic.
That is a fingerprint with a radius of hundreds of miles. It has been blocked by the Lord of Dalu and is not open to the public after discussions with many of the Lords. It can only be digested internally by the Lords of Baiyue.
In addition to the kings themselves who can watch at will, each king only has ten designated places that are open to the public every hundred years. Otherwise, it is strictly sealed and no one is allowed to view the divination fingerprints.
This fingerprint has become one of the foundations of the entire Baiyue. It can be observed and practiced at ordinary times. At the critical moment, if all the earth veins in that area are detonated together with the big divination fingerprint, it can burst out with the power of a third-grade strike, within the fifth-grade No one can catch it and will surely die if they touch it.
Such a being... is the master of the seventh-grade young man in front of him.
Moreover, this young man also had an affair with a real person from a fifth-grade Taoist sect and obtained the Chenji Golden Pill Method.
To be honest, if it were not for his status as a young master, Lingxiao Flower God would definitely stay away from such people.
It's a pity that the other party came to visit him in person and also entrusted one of his prefects to come to ask for an audience. He was too polite to refuse.
Li Qi didn't know what the other party was thinking. He just heard what Lord Lingxiao said about the Buddha Mountain, so he said: "There are many secrets in the Buddha Mountain. If you go there without permission, you will probably run into them like a headless fly. I can't see anything, so I ask to see the king, which can save a lot of trouble. "
Lingxiao Flower God said lightly: "Young Master is joking, Zunfo Mountain has been standing for hundreds of years, and tens of thousands of people come to visit it every day. What secrets can there be? Hasn't it been thoroughly analyzed by experts from all walks of life?"
Li Qize said: "I don't know very well. In fact, the reason why I came here this time was because I met a monk by chance. He was not very successful, but he had mastered the method of getting started with clairvoyance. Not to mention the disciples of Buddha. I helped him with a little thing on the way, and he told me that there was a Buddha statue in Zunfo Mountain, which was the key to him gaining clairvoyance. "
"I don't know the situation, so I found Governor Mu and asked him to contact the king to find out something. If the king can tell some of the reasons, I would be very grateful."
When Li Qi said this, his expression was very serious and he looked quite solemn.
But Lord Lingxiao turned away and said in a calm tone: "There is Fengde Temple in Zunfo Mountain. Fengde Temple also has many eminent monks who learned from Baima Temple. I know far less than them. If there really is a Buddha, Fate, you should ask them, why did they find me here?"
Li Qi now saw the other party's polite refusal.
He curled his lips.
Of course he knows that there is a Buddhist temple inside, but if he goes to those monks directly, he will probably be rejected, and he won't be able to get anything out of him. That's why he has to go to you first, Lingxiao Flower God.
Compared to those bald donkeys who didn't know the details at all and couldn't figure out what their needs were, Ling Xiao Flower God's weaknesses and needs were clear.
As long as the Lingxiao Flower Goddess is dealt with, she will naturally become a stepping stone and can pry open the mouths of those monks.
Seeing that it was just an ordinary negotiation, Lingxiao Flower God definitely didn't want to say anything more, so Li Qi changed his explanation: "I know that the king is busy with affairs, so I don't want to bother with these small things. However, if I can contribute to the king's affairs, Woolen cloth?"
The Lord of Lingxiao turned his head and looked directly at Li Qi: "Dedicate yourself to my cause? Although the young master is extremely talented and will surpass those of us who have reached the end sooner or later, he is still young after all, only seventh grade... I'm afraid you can help Nothing.”
"Some things are not decided by cultivation. What if I can help the king return to Tang Dynasty?" Li Qi said.
Hearing this, Lord Lingxiao's expression was obviously flustered, his lips tightened for a moment, and his pupils shrank.
But it was only for a moment. She immediately returned to normal and said: "It seems that the young master came prepared, but let's forget it. What can we do if we return to Tang Kingdom?"
"It's just a few more ridicules and a few more sarcastic words. Why bother asking for trouble? I'm living well in Baiyue. Isn't it good to be my king?"
Li Qi immediately replied: "If the king really thinks this is good, why do he work hard to improve his cultivation, farm outside the territory every day, and engrave the ambition of Lingxiao in sacrifices to secretly accumulate strength? If you say that the king has no idea about returning to the Tang Dynasty, I’m afraid the king himself doesn’t believe it, right?”
Li Qi read the history of the country, and saw with his own eyes the process of the sacrifice, as well as the poem in the sacrifice, none of which was a sign of acceptance of fate.
"In this country, all it takes to do this is to give an order. It's just a matter of amusing oneself and comforting oneself. Do you think you are taking it seriously?" Lord Lingxiao looked at Li Qi with a smile and asked.
"It turns out that I misunderstood. I'm really sorry for disturbing the king. Then I will write to my classmate and tell him not to bother Mr. Liu Donghe." Li Qi said with a sad expression.
"Mr. Liu Donghe?" Lingxiao Flower God changed her previous indifference and became a little lost her temper. She couldn't help but raise her voice.
Liu Donghe, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, was a great Confucian who had the ability to be independent from Nanshan Academy.
Moreover, he also has an identity.
Liu Shenzhi's father and Liu Junyi's uncle.
"Yes, when I was studying in Taixue, I felt a little sorry for Ling Xiaohua's deeds. It happened that my classmate Liu Shenzhi and I went to his house to play, and then I discovered that Liu Shenzhi's father was actually Mr. Liu Donghe , I just met him by chance," Li Qi said.
While Li Qi spoke, he looked at Lingxiao Flower Goddess. It was obvious that she was shaken.
She could be exiled from the Tang Dynasty because of a poem by a famous scholar, and naturally she could return to the public's attention because of another poem.
This is the tiger skin that Li Qi is going to pull out.
Although he is not very familiar with Uncle Liu Donghe, he has indeed known him for a long time.
During the time in the Imperial College, in order to study the matter of the witch silkworm, he basically ran to Liu Canzhi's house every day. After a few visits, he naturally became familiar with the people in the family.
At that time, he knew the reputation of Liu Donghe. Now he pulled out the tiger skin, not afraid that the Lingxiao Flower God would not be fooled.
If the Lingxiao Flower God really wanted to follow him back to the Tang Dynasty, he would not be afraid of being exposed.
What he said was 'Tell the classmates not to prepare for the troublesome Liu Donghe's affairs'.
The matter is very simple. When the time comes, say a few words to Liu Canzhi, and the matter will be over. Li Qi and Liu Canzhi are not iron buddies, but at least they are good brothers. Liu Canzhi will not do nothing at all.
If she could ask Liu Donghe's son to endorse her and pass the message to Liu Donghe, even if Liu Donghe refused to agree and the matter could not be done, Lingxiao Flower God would have no complaints.
It was not easy to get in touch with such a person. It was very good to have a chance. Do you still want Li Qi to promise that it would be done?
Li Qi might be able to promise, but is the secret of the Buddha sculpture really enough for this?
Let alone a Buddha sculpture, even the real method of practicing the clairvoyance could not buy a promise from Liu Donghe.
Lingxiao King naturally knew about this.
So she was stunned and fell into thought.
Li Qi did not urge her, just sat and waited.
After a long while, Lingxiao Flower God sighed, raised her beautiful eyebrows, sat down, and looked at Li Qi: "What exactly did you do? If you really want to find out about the Buddha sculpture, you wouldn't use this kind of thing to tease me."
"I think you are well prepared, and you have done a lot of research beforehand. You can even use Liu Donghe's name to seduce me. You must have a big plan. It's better to talk directly, so that I can weigh your weight and see if I can interfere in your affairs."
After listening, Li Qi nodded.
This is to show his hand. I don't want to argue anymore. Let Li Qi tell the truth, mark the price clearly, and do business straightforwardly, and don't try to make friends.
However, it's a bit hard to say.
How to show your hand? Tell her that you are being targeted by the demon, and you don't know when you will sink into the desire world. You can't figure out 'I am me', so you want to find some magical powers like the clairvoyance to see if you can make do with it?
