The Disciple’s Diligence Makes the Master Seem Lazy - Chapter 204
[Chapter 202: The relationship between Daxu and the Empress comes to light [40 chapters to go]]
Li Xu is worried that the Empress has practiced some evil technique. She
might explode if she can’t control herself for a while.
“She only practices the power of ice, not any Taoist techniques, and relies on her powerful spiritual power to crush people all the way.” King Qingqiu explained quickly.
This is the path of cultivation that the Empress took.
Hearing this, Li Xu suddenly realized that her path was exactly the same as his own.
He didn’t practice Taoism before, but just relied on his vast spiritual power to push people all the way. If he hadn’t heard what she said, Li Xu would have been shocked and thought she was telling her own story.
Fortunately, he didn’t have a hobby of wearing women’s clothes.
Otherwise, he would have thought that he was playing the Empress.
“That can’t explode.”
Li Xu couldn’t figure it out, and the more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed.
Based on his many years of experience, he had never heard of a person being able to explode, unless it was a custom inflatable character on Earth.
It would explode with a pinch or a “poke”.
This idea can be ruled out for the time being.
Li Xu asked, “You didn’t hide it, or your maids hid other information
.” “No.”
“Are they still alive now?”
Li Xu was afraid that the King of Qingqiu would deal with all these maids, after all, this was a big deal.
“Yes.” The King of Qingqiu replied that these maids were now in her bedroom.
“Can you call them over? I want to ask them questions?”
“Okay.” The King of Qingqiu nodded.
After a few sticks of incense, all the maids who served the empress appeared in the empress’s bedroom and knelt in a row.
Li Xu asked one by one, and the results were the same. It was
basically the same as what the King of Qingqiu said.
Li Xu did not dare to use hypnosis on the King of Qingqiu, because she was in a high position and was the mother of Dahu, so he did not dare to offend her.
But Li Xu dared to take action on these maids. After a hypnotic test, the information he got was: the empress was indeed blown up in front of their eyes.
“Master, do you have any clues?” Dahu asked.
“No.”
Li Xu has now reached a clear conclusion. The empress did explode like an inflatable, but why did she explode, he can’t figure it out.
Li Xu asked the King of Qingqiu about other things about the empress, such as the empress’s growth history, but the King of Qingqiu couldn’t explain it.
Because of the empress’s power, she didn’t know how the empress practiced it.
Li Xu’s eyes turned to Da’er and Ban Ruozhu again: “Has the empress never told you about her practice?”
The two women shook their heads.
Where did her power come from? It couldn’t come out of thin air?
Even he knew where his power came from. Therefore, no matter who it was, there must be a pattern to follow for the source of power.
Now that the maid and the King of Qingqiu were not lying, the mystery became more complicated.
Li Xu closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: “Is the ashes of the empress still there after the explosion?”
The King of Qingqiu said: “Yes, I put it in a jar.”
At that time, she felt something was wrong, so she didn’t throw it away, but packed it up and secretly kept it in a secret room.
“Can you take out the ashes?”
“Do you have a way?”
“I’ll try.” Li Xu dared to try, but he was not very sure.
“Okay.”
King Qingqiu immediately ordered someone to bring the jar hidden in his palace.
Li Xu took the jar, sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, poured the ashes on the ground, and performed a Taoist method, the sixth-grade Taoist method, the Eye of Retrospection.
This was the first time he had used a strange Taoist method.
As the Taoist method was performed, the ashes gradually flew up.
In an instant, it seemed as if the scene was replayed, returning to the situation on that day.
The time was around five o’clock in the afternoon.
This was a hall, obviously the empress’s bedroom.
At the door of the bedroom, there were four maids standing, one of whom was yawning, as if she had not woken up yet, and then her eyes rushed into the door. There were
two rows of maids standing inside. In the center of the hall, a little in front of where King Qingqiu was sitting now, there was a woman with her back to the crowd. The woman was wearing a white long skirt.
The long skirt dragged on the ground. The woman had a head full of
silver
hair, which was very long and long, reaching her buttocks.
There are two cute fox ears on her head.
At this time, her fox ears stood up, and I don’t know if she is angry or something.
She clenched her fists, and a cold breath burst out from her whole body.
“Why does the back look exactly like Daxu?”
Li Xu’s heart skipped a beat, and everyone became nervous because they saw what happened in the past.
The empress clenched her fists tightly, shaking with anger. She turned around and stomped her foot on the ground. The palace was frozen and the air was filled with a cold breath.
At this time, her face was completely revealed to everyone.
Li Xu’s eyes widened.
This woman’s appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, with a slender figure, about 1.7 meters tall, very tall.
She was wearing a white veil, barefoot, with curves constantly around, a slender waist, a full outline, and a particularly large breast size.
Li Xu felt that she could compete with An Zhiyu, and even more turbulent.
The snow-white arms were exposed, and the white clothes danced in the air. Her face was particularly cold, and her eyes seemed to be burning with small flames.
This face, Li Xu was too familiar.
It can’t be said to be similar to Daxu, it’s exactly the same.
Li Xu’s eyes looked back and forth between the empress and Daxu.
This was the first time she saw the true face of the empress. Except for the height ratio and the outline of her chest, she was simply another Daxu.
Or perhaps it could be said to be a grown-up version of Daxu.
The empress’s face was cold, her eyes gradually turned blood red, her whole body was trembling, and her chest was heaving. The
coldness in her body kept coming out.
She reached out and overturned all the fruit plates on the table, and overturned the chairs. The palace was filled with cold air, and all the maids knelt on the ground, shivering.
“This is the first time I see the empress angry. What’s going on?” King Qingqiu was puzzled. This was
the first time she had seen the empress smashing things in such a long time.
And her state was very wrong, her face gradually turned red.
Suddenly.
“Hmm.”
She panted, and suddenly the whole palace echoed with her voice, and her eyes became blurred.
Her state was completely wrong.
Then her coldness could not be suppressed at all, and it kept seeping out, so she quickly sat cross-legged on the ground to suppress it.
Just when she was sitting cross-legged, she opened her eyes wide, and then exploded directly, burning fiercely. Then the King of Qingqiu came, and then the empress turned into ash.
The eye of retrospection was over, and the place returned to normal.
Everyone saw the scene just now clearly. The empress really exploded, but Li Xu’s eyes never left Dahu, staring at her.
Because the empress’s “hmm” sound just now, Li Xu was not unfamiliar with it, and it was no different from Dahu’s voice.
He suddenly had a bold idea that Dahu was the empress.
Not only him, many people doubted it. Since the first sight of Dahu, they began to doubt it, such as Ban Ruozhu and the King of Qingqiu, because they looked so similar.
“Master, why are you looking at me?”
Dahu was a little panicked. She knew what Li Xu was thinking, and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m not the empress. The empress is my sister. How can I be the empress?”
They are a world apart.
The empress sister existed when she was born, and she has been close to the empress sister since she was a child. If she is the empress, then who is the empress?
Isn’t this nonsense?
“I suddenly remembered something. You all go out first. Li Xu, you stay.” King Qingqiu looked at Ban Ruozhu and said, “Take Daxu out as well.”
“Do I have to go too? Is there anything I can’t listen to?”
Daxu pursed her lips. Her mother was really partial. She told Li Xu but not herself.
“Let’s go out first.” Ban Ruozhu pulled Daxu, who looked reluctant, out of the hall and closed the door.
King Qingqiu stood up, stretched out his hand and cast a layer of spiritual power barrier, covering himself and Li Xu.
She looked over.
Li Xu asked, “Excuse me, is there anything you want to tell me?”
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
The King of Qingqiu said, “I just saw your methods, and you are Daxu’s master. Now I have something to tell you. Daxu is not my biological daughter. I picked her up.”
Li Xu had heard about this from Ban Ruozhu, but he still wanted to know more details, so he asked,
“Excuse me, how did you pick her up? Can you tell me the details?”
“I picked her up from the Queen’s bedroom. When I picked her up, she was that tall and big.” She gestured.
“At that time, a ball of sky fire fell from Qingqiu, and it happened to fall into the Queen’s bedroom. It burned for several days, and she was born from the flame.”
“People can’t be born out of thin air. There must be a reason for it?” The King of Qingqiu continued.
“She has the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox, which makes me feel even more extraordinary. I suspected that she was the daughter of the Queen, but she couldn’t go out. I raised her as my own daughter.
Now it seems that things are really not simple.
Daxu must have some connection with the Queen.
I once suspected that Dazhu was the Dao Fruit of the Empress. Do you think it’s possible? “
She didn’t know what the eighth grade was, so she could only guess.
“It’s possible.” Li Xu said.
Although he didn’t cultivate such a thing as Dao Fruit, he had read a lot of novels before.
Dao Fruit could really be in human form.
King Qingqiu said: “So Dazhu could really be the Dao Fruit of the Empress?”
“It’s just a guess, not necessarily, but I feel there are still many suspense. If it is a Dao Fruit, the Empress does not need the help of heavenly fire to give birth to the Dao Fruit.”
“That’s right.” King Qingqiu frowned, looked at Li Xu and said: “Can I trouble you with something now? Just help me investigate the relationship between the Empress and Dazhu.”
“That’s exactly why I came here. “Li Xu felt that the truth was very close to him, and he just needed a little more information.
Now he has two pieces of information.
One, Daxu is the fruit of the empress.
Two, Daxu is the empress.
But there is still a lack of evidence, because Daxu herself doesn’t know, and can only deduce and guess based on clues.
Li Xu asked: “Is the place where little Daxu was born still there? Can I take a look?”
King Qingqiu said: “Please follow me.”
Li Xu followed her out, and halfway through, he found two people sticking to the door. At first glance, they are Ban Ruozhu and Daxu.
“What are my mother and my master whispering about? Why can’t I hear it?” Daxu stuck to it and pricked up her ears, but she couldn’t hear anything.
“I don’t know what happened in there? “Ban Ruozhu was also eavesdropping on the door.
Li Xu opened the door quickly, and the two women fell to the ground.
Li Xu was quick to support Dazhu and prevent her from falling to the ground.
A “bang” was heard nearby, and Ban Ruozhu fell to the ground with a small bump on her forehead.
“What are you two eavesdropping on?” Li Xu helped Dazhu up, knocked on her head and said, “There is a spiritual barrier in there, how could you hear it?”
“Master, what are you talking about?”
“Guess.”
“I’m too lazy to pay attention to you.” Dazhu ran to her mother, hugged her arm and said, “Mom, what are you talking about with my master?”
“Nothing, come on, I’ll take you to a place. “The King of Qingqiu said as he glanced at Li Xu. Li Xu understood and hurried to follow.
Ban Ruozhu also followed.
They soon came to an abandoned palace, which was the palace of the former empress.
Because of the falling of the sky fire, it was considered unlucky and was no longer used.
So it has been abandoned.
It has been abandoned for hundreds of years and many places are overgrown with grass.
“Mother, is there anything special about this place?”
Obviously Dazhu came to this place many times, but every time she approached, she was driven away.
The palace is now guarded by two powerful guards to prevent people from trespassing.
This palace, which has been abandoned for several years, can finally be approached. She walked in front and stepped into the palace. Li Xu followed behind her.
Soon they came to the damaged hall.
“This is where the sky fire fell that year.” The King of Qingqiu said, “When it fell here, the sky fire burned for several days and nights and could not be extinguished at all. “
This Heavenly Fire was extinguished by itself.
And then Daxu was born from it.
As for what happened in between, no one knows.
There were still traces of Heavenly Fire burning on the ground. Li Xu squatted down, studied it carefully, and suddenly his mouth twitched:
“Little Daxu, release your Heavenly Fire.”
“Bear…”
Daxu stretched out her hand, and the flame in her hand burned violently.
“Yes, yes, it’s this kind of fire.”
King Qingqiu remembered clearly that it was this kind of flame that came out of Daxu’s hand.
King Qingqiu suddenly remembered now that Daxu wrote to him, saying that she practiced two ways, the Way of Ice and the Way of Heavenly Fire.
“Release your Way of Ice, let me see.” King Qingqiu looked at Daxu.
“Okay. “The power of ice surged out of Dazhu’s other hand.
One hand was ice, the other hand was heavenly fire.
The King of Qingqiu was stunned.
This icy power was too familiar, obviously it was the power of the empress, and this heavenly fire was the fire that fell from the sky.
It was hard to imagine that these two powers, one cold and one hot, actually existed in the same person’s body.
No wonder Dazhu couldn’t break through for hundreds of years.
What exactly is hidden in her body?
If it weren’t for Li Xu, it would have been impossible to activate it at all.
The King of Qingqiu felt that the truth was getting closer and closer to him.
Dazhu must be related to the empress.
“Have you discovered anything?” Li Xu saw the change in the expression of the King of Qingqiu.
“Her Ice Path is exactly the same as the Empress’s.” The King of Qingqiu said.
“I know.”
After using the Eye of Retrospection just now, he had already concluded that Dalu’s Ice Path and the Empress’s Ice Path were exactly the same. Now he could be sure of one more thing.
Dalu’s Heavenly Fire Path originated from Heavenly Fire.
Now he basically understood this, but Li Xu still had one thing he didn’t understand, why did the Empress explode?
Suddenly he thought of something.
“Mother-in-law… King of Qingqiu, is the jar containing the Empress’s ashes that you put away just now still there?”
“Yes.”
“Can someone bring that jar back here?”
“Sure.” The King of Qingqiu waved his hand, and then a maid went to bring the jar containing the Empress’s ashes here.
About an incense stick of time, the jar appeared in front of Li Xu again.
He poured the ashes in the jar onto the ground again, and then performed the identification technique.
“Sawdust.”
The identification technique told him that the ashes were sawdust.
Li Xu looked at the King of Qingqiu and said, “This is not the ashes of the empress after the explosion. The ashes in this jar are sawdust. Has your thing been tampered with?”
“Impossible, my people are all loyal people. What’s the use of the ashes in it?” said the King of Qingqiu.
“Little Daxu, come here.” Li Xu waved his hand.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
“Stick out your tongue.”
“Lululu…”
Daxu obediently opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.
Li Xu quickly put the sawdust on her tongue.
“Puh, puh, puh…” Dahu kept spitting, “Master, what are you doing? Why did you put the ashes of the empress sister on my tongue?”
“I remember that your sense of smell is quite sensitive. Can you smell if there is anything else on it?”
“I’ll try again.” She didn’t feel anything after spitting it out just now. Dahu had to try again. She put the ashes of the empress sister on her tongue with her fingers and felt it carefully. She said:
“There are sawdust ingredients in it, but I also tasted another taste, a very strange taste. I must have eaten this kind of thing.”
Dahu thought carefully, but couldn’t think of it.
“I’ll try.” The aunt also tasted the ashes of the empress, but she couldn’t taste it.
“Yes, yes, I remember.”
After seeing the aunt, Dahu instantly remembered something. She remembered that once the aunt was poisoned by greed, it was actually the Miao Dou Gu technique.
At that time, several Miao Dou masters were invited to come.
During that period of time, she had learned the methods related to Gu insects and Gu techniques.
“There is a potion of Miao Dou Leathermaking on it.” She had taken this potion when she was practicing, so she remembered it.
“Why does the empress smell of Miao Dou Leathermaking and sawdust?” Li Xu pondered, “It’s impossible for a human to have this smell.
If the empress is not a human, it can perfectly explain why the empress exploded.”
The truth is getting closer and closer.
“I suddenly have a question, when was the day when the empress exploded?” Li Xu asked.
“I remember the day very clearly, the time was November 16th.” Qingqiu King said.
November 16th.
When the time came out, Li Xu and Dahu looked at each other.
This day, they can’t forget it.
Because on the night of November 16th, Li Xu helped Dahu open the nine tails.
But before opening the nine tails, he and Dahu had something going on.
This was their first time.
They can’t forget it.
But the problem came again.
Li Xu and Dahu were at night, why did the empress of Qingqiu explode in the afternoon, the time doesn’t match.
Suddenly, Li Xu thought of something. Santu Town is in the west of Zhuanxu State, and Qingqiu is more than 108,000 miles away from Zhuanxu State, if the time difference is taken into account.
After a moment,
Li Xu roughly calculated it.
It was just right.
The time when the empress exploded was exactly when Li Xu and Daxu were causing trouble.
Based on all the clues, Li Xu almost figured out the truth of the matter, and the life stories of the empress and Daxu were basically clear.
“Now let me see what the truth is?”
Li Xu planned to use the Eye of Retrospection.
Take a look at what happened in this palace?
He was looking forward to it.
