Having said that, Xie Xuanyang was not quite sure that the door would not open.

He had a feeling that there might be something behind that Suzaku gate.At the beginning, Hua Wenyu asked him to come to the imperial city of Dongdu in the capacity of Linglong Pavilion, which meant that there must be something special in this imperial city related to Bai Qishan.

These days, Xie Xuanyang and Qing Xiao have searched the entire imperial city, except for the palace that has not been inspected, only the Suzaku gate in the entire imperial city is considered special.If this door is really related to Bai Qishan, then the door that Mozun Yixuan couldn't open will be opened by him and Qing Xiao, two immortal cultivators with inheritance.

Maybe Hua Wenyu had this idea, Xie Xuanyang thought.

Thinking in his heart, he had already followed the two brothers Ting Hao and Ting Yuan into the palace gate.

The imperial palace in the Eastern Capital is much larger than that in Xiliang. The roofs of all the halls are covered with smooth yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimmings. Looking up, the ridges of the halls are shining, like clouds that cannot be climbed.The eastern capital respects dragons but respects wolves more, and there are more jade carvings in Xiliang palace than wolf carvings in eastern capital palace.It was the Hall of Supreme Harmony where a few people passed by, and at a glance, you could see the carving of the black wolf shovel flag instead of the golden dragon and the pillar.

The flag of the wolf carving shovel is the battle flag of the Tiance Army of the Eastern Capital. Now that the Ce Army is gone today, the flame extinction pattern on the military flag has become the standard pattern of the imperial family of the Eastern Capital.It's just that the lines are really familiar, especially the long lines on the column.Xie Xuanyang was sure that he had never been to the imperial city of the Eastern Capital, nor had he seen anyone from the imperial family of the Eastern Capital except Li Hongye, but he felt that he had seen this kind of flame pattern somewhere.

As he was recalling, Qing Xiao said beside him, "I've seen this flame pattern before."

Xie Xuanyang was startled, "Have you seen it too?"

Qing Xiao nodded.Xie Xuanyang asked again, "I also feel familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it, do you remember?"

Qing Xiao looked at him, the corners of his lips suddenly curled up slightly, this short-lived smile was enough to make Xie Xuanyang stunned.He raised his hand to cover Xie Xuanyang's back, just when Xie Xuanyang was wondering what he meant at this time, he felt his fingers gently sliding down his back, the faint touch made Xie Xuanyang tremble slightly.

He leaned close to Xie Xuanyang's ear, and said softly, "You and I will go together..."

He didn't make a sound for the last two words, but Xie Xuanyang heard the word Wushan from his silent bite.Xie Xuanyang immediately stepped on Qingxiao's foot, slapped away his thief's hand that was still rubbing against his waist, glared at him and said, "Well, Daoist Qingxiao, what are you doing in public?"

Qing Xiao said without changing his face, "You ask, I'll just answer."

This serious look really makes it impossible to see what molestation he did just now.Xie Xuanyang said, "Are you still Daoist Qingxiao? Did you look like you didn't eat the fireworks in the world before?"

Qing Xiao said, "For you, you are not a Taoist monarch, but a Taoist companion."

Xie Xuanyang couldn't help but think of Mo Lingyan's words "an old man who's fucked up" when he was out of tune. Xie Xuanyang laughed angrily, "How about letting Ling Yan see your master?"

Qing Xiao said, "He's not here."

What he said was well-founded, and Xie Xuanyang could hear the sense of righteousness from it.At this time, he turned his head and found that they had passed through many palace roads and arrived at the Royal Garden.There is no one in Li Hongye's harem, let alone the concubine who has few attendants, only some court ladies who are doing things, and there are no swallows, swallows and warblers walking around in this imperial garden.

They stopped in front of the sitting pavilion in the imperial garden. Behind the sitting pavilion is the imperial pool. There are red carps swimming in the sparkling water, which is really beautiful.Li Hongye was sitting in the pavilion waiting for them, accompanied by Bu Wenye.

Now no one knows when Yiyan will strike, and Li Hongye is a mortal with no cultivation, falling into Yiyan's hands like an unarmed toddler, Bu Wenye and other demons are thinking of various reasons to stay in the palace, I'm afraid that one day Yixuan can't help but make a move on this majesty.

Li Hongye was looking at Xie Xuanyang and Qing Xiao with interest, and he was not annoyed when he saw them flirting and ignoring him.On the contrary, Xie Xuanyang was a little uncomfortable being seen, and couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry."

Li Hongye waved his hands nonchalantly.At this time, he was wearing a black-bottomed embroidered dragon gown, and the golden dragon embroidered fringe shimmered from time to time, like dark lines. It looked simple but hidden luxury, and it was even more ninefold than when we met in the small courtyard a few days ago The majesty of the emperor.But no matter how noble a man is, he doesn't show his prestige in front of these two immortal cultivators, and he doesn't even need to use the self-proclaimed "Zhen".

He nodded to several people to indicate the vacant seats in the pavilion.The table in the pavilion was already covered with meals, he had already expected how many guests there would be in the palace today, and he found that the table was also covered with the same number of bowls and chopsticks.Apart from meals, bowls and chopsticks, there is also the wine stored in the palace that Ting Yuan has been thinking about, which was poured into the jade wine glass early.

The aroma of wine is overflowing in the air, and you can tell that it is a rare good wine as soon as you smell it.It's just that Xie Xuanyang and Qing Xiao didn't touch wine, and Li Hongye also served them good tribute tea.

Li Hongye said with a smile, "It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good. I thought that only men and women can be in harmony like this, but I didn't think it could be the same between men."

Sitting in the pavilion, Xie Xuanyang also smiled, "I agree with each other, so I can naturally harmonize with each other."

Li Hongye let out a long sigh, and asked a little strangely, "Don't you seekers always say that yin and yang are compatible? I see that you should pay more attention to men and women than demon cultivators."

Li Hongye has had such doubts ever since he knew that Qing Xiao and Xie Xuanyang were Taoist couples. In his opinion, the relationship between Tai | Zu and Tai | Empress was already a special case.One of them cultivates demons and the other cultivates immortals. The combination of demons and immortals is the biggest exception. Compared with them, their same gender is not so conspicuous.

Whether it is a demon cultivator or an immortal cultivator, it is impossible to control the combination of these two Tai|ancestors whose identities are opposite, and it is even more impossible to control their gender.

But although Xie Xuanyang is a half-devil who once earned a reputation as a white-clothed sword demon in the demon world, the mind and sword techniques he practiced are all orthodox immortal ways, except for his blood. In any case, he is also an immortal cultivator like Qing Xiao.Why didn't other self-proclaimed orthodox immortal cultivators say that they had reversed yin and yang when he became a Taoist couple?

This question is not difficult for Xie Xuanyang or any seeker of immortality to answer.He raised his hand to dip some tea, drew a circle on the table, and asked, "Does Your Majesty know what this is?"

Li Hongye looked at it and said, "One circle?"

Xie Xuanyang nodded, and drew a serpentine shape in the center, "Yin and Yang are the way of heaven and earth, and the discipline of all things, but it does not specifically refer to men and women. It is true that men and women are yin and yang, but this yin and yang are fundamentally lacking and complement each other. Love is the same , One is lacking in heart, and the other is making up for it. What can be made up to make a circle is harmony."

Li Hongye gazed thoughtfully at the Yin-Yang fish Tai Chi diagram drawn by Xie Xuanyang with water stains.Xie Xuanyang said again, "What's more, we as seekers seek the way of heaven and earth, and even more seek to respect and understand our original mind. If we can't understand our original mind, how can we understand the way of heaven? Taoist couples are companions who are like-minded and practice together. , is also a partner who complements and lacks each other. In my heart, I am destined to lack him, that is, this person can be male or female."

Li Hongye laughed knowingly, "I have been taught, I think the difference between men and women is the same among monks like you."

Xie Xuanyang looked at Li Hongye and sighed in his heart.He didn't know why Li Hongye asked him this question, but he knew that Li Hongye had a knot in his heart when he said the word monk.

He said, "A demon cultivator is also a monk. Don't talk about other countries, just say that the monks in Dongdu are no different from ordinary people. How can there be a difference between men and women? From the time of Tai | The law of marriage has not specified between a man and a woman, so it would be wrong for Your Majesty to emphasize the relationship between monks."

Li Hongye didn't quite agree. He shook his head and said, "There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants. Passing on the family line is a major event for human beings. Women can conceive children, and monks have a boundless life. It's okay to have no descendants, but we ordinary people can't do it." This is why ordinary people have three wives and four concubines, and the emperor has three thousand harem."

"Just for inheritance?" Xie Xuanyang asked.

Li Hongye nodded, "If it's possible, I would also like to take a scoop of Ruo Shui for three thousand. But I am the emperor of Dongdu, I can only think about it, but I can't do it. If I have no children, who will this inheritance be? Who will guard this country? ?”

These words are full of official accents, and the reason why the emperor's harem is three thousand is quite reasonable, but isn't this what Li Hongye really thinks?

However, Xie Xuanyang couldn't understand what His Majesty meant at all. In his opinion, heirs are not a big problem.

The so-called inheritance can also be passed on to the adopted son, just like his father chose a prince in the clan instead of finding a woman to give birth to the son; Lost his inheritance?Not to mention the master and apprentice among monks, how many apprentices are related to their master by blood, don't they all become inheritance?

He sighed for a long time, and said, "It's fate to have children, and it's fate to have no children. You don't need to be persistent, just follow your heart. Inheritance has nothing to do with heirs. You can choose capable people to guard the country like the Tai|Zu , His Majesty, this can be regarded as a sign."

Li Hongye took a sip of his wine, nodded and shook his head again, "Daozhang Xie, you don't understand. Not everyone in the royal family has the temperament of Tai|Zu, don't you see that Dongdu has been emperor for several times and has not been able to ascend?"

Xie Xuanyang murmured, and said, "You didn't either? I thought that with His Majesty's knowledge, he would be the second ascendant after my father."

The expression on Li Hongye's face suddenly became a little strange. Although there was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, people with discerning eyes couldn't see that he was smiling at all, but it was more like sadness or regret.He was silent for a long while, took a deep breath, and turned his eyes slightly sideways to the sparkling water surface of Yutan. He didn't know if he was looking at the red carps swimming in the water or what.

"Maybe I have." He said slowly, "but I can't."

Xie Xuanyang paused.

Li Hongye's face was a little pale, "Anyone in this Dongdu can practice, but I can't. Daoist Xie, as a great power, should know how important spiritual roots are to monks."

Xie Xuanyang didn't speak.Li Hongye's face turned paler, and he said, "But I didn't."

Without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate. This is Li Hongye's biggest heart disease.No one in the east will mention this matter, and no one dares to mention it.The competition for the throne in the Li royal family was fierce, especially Li Hongye's generation.Every prince who participated in the battle for succession was a person with excellent spiritual roots, but it happened that Li Hongye, a man who could not cultivate, became the emperor.

Why?Because those princes who seized the throne are all dead, now there are only three princes in the royal family except for Li Hongye. These three princes are not considered to be in the clan except for the third service. They have no inheritance rights, and only Li Hongye can inherit the throne. bit.

The deaths of those princes were very strange. Everyone could guess that their deaths were related to Li Hongye, but no one dared to ask, and no one dared to find out how a prince with no cultivation level killed those with cultivation bases. Prince.These questions became taboos, and things that Li Hongye couldn't practice gradually became taboos.

Now that Li Hongye himself brought up the matter, the Dongdu people present couldn't help but hold their breath.

For a moment, the pavilion was terribly quiet, as if the air had condensed.

But seeing Xie Xuanyang slowly lift up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, raised his eyes and said, "So what?"

Li Hongye smiled wryly, "How? You can't practice without spiritual roots."

Xie Xuanyang said, "Who said that?"

Li Hongye said, "Isn't this common sense? To cultivate demons, you need to induce energy. Without spiritual roots, it is impossible to even induce energy into the body. Of course, you can't practice. Daoist Xie should know this better than me."

Xie Xuanyang said indifferently, "I also have no spiritual roots."
