Chapter 978 There is always someone better than you
The voice of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty echoed in the palace. Although his tone was gentle and did not have any obvious fluctuations, to others it sounded vigorous and powerful, with an indescribable majesty.
Behind this kind of majesty, in addition to the thing called imperial power, there is also the extraordinary self-confidence that Li Er has cultivated through half a lifetime of being invincible.
If the person in the palace were replaced by another real assassin, even if he was confident that he could stab Li Er in the palace, his momentum would probably be weakened by three points when facing Li Er who looked like this.
However, the handsome young man standing in the palace is obviously an exception.
He smiled slightly, walked up the stairs with the wine bottle in his hand, and placed it firmly on the desk.
Li Er raised his eyebrows and looked up and down at the young man in white with refined temperament in front of him. Suddenly, his heart moved and his face showed a sudden realization.
"Are you Yun Ye's senior brother?"
Li Er shook his head and said calmly: "You are not joking, I am not joking. Sir, you broke into the palace without permission and did not fear the imperial power. This is not informal, so what else can it be?"
Li Er sat upright: "I would like to hear the details."
Li Er looked at the purple energy in the mirror and was as excited as a child wearing a dragon robe.
Li Er stared at him for a while and suddenly asked: "Prove it to me!"
"That bitch in Hongcheng is indeed right. Your husband is really a detached person. He doesn't adhere to common etiquette. Even if I were in person, I can't shake your Taoist heart!"
Lin Zhongtian chuckled: "Your Majesty, that's right."
Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "Immortals are like mountains. If we use the simplest words to describe it, then becoming an immortal is like a person who has built a mountain. Yun Ye said that becoming an immortal means becoming a stone. This is where he comes from."
Li Er said without hesitation: "Longevity and long-term vision, carefree in the world."
After all, purple energy has been an auspicious energy since ancient times, accompanying emperors and sages.
"It wasn't until Yun Ye showed up that I finally felt that I had caught a clue. But you also know Yun Ye. Although he has a lot of supernatural powers in him, he always denies the existence of gods and talks about becoming immortals. Just turn into stone.”
Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said: "I'm not sure whether the record your majesty said is true, but if there are immortals who exist forever in the world, they must be deceiving your majesty..."
"But the more this happens, the more I feel sure that Yun Ye has something up his sleeve!"
Li Er stared at Lin Zhongtian's smiling face. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly slapped his thigh and looked up to the sky laughing.
This purple energy was like mist, floating slowly around his body, sometimes converging and sometimes dispersing, looking quite magical.
Li Er was slightly startled and looked at Lin Zhongtian in confusion.
But Lin Zhongtian was different. He didn't care about Li Er's faint threat, nor did he care about the so-called power in this world.
Li Er had no expression on his face: "You mean, Bai Yujing is outside the sky and is not under my control?"
"……Yeah?"
But besides this handsome face, he actually saw a large area of purple energy surrounding him.
Li Er frowned and asked doubtfully: "What's the explanation for this, sir?"
Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "Yun Ye only knows this, but he doesn't know why. The reason why immortals want to avoid the world is because of the chaos in the world, where hundreds of millions of people live in it, and countless distracting thoughts gather and intertwine, forming a kind of world called the world of mortals. The phenomenon of fire.”
When he said these words, Li Er looked calm, but in fact he meant something else, implying murderous intent.
Lin Zhongtian asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, do you know what the meaning of the word "Xian" is?"
"The so-called "all over the world" is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. Do you think so, sir?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "People from the mountains and wild areas do not understand etiquette, which makes Your Majesty laugh."
Seeing this, Li Er was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with interest and said: "Use my wine to make amends to me. Mr. Lin, you are really not afraid of anything!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Er explained calmly: "Before you and Yun Ye appeared, I had summoned many 'immortals', and they all showed some magical powers and spells in front of me, but in the end, I found that these people Just a charlatan!"
He has always been brooding about the unfairness of his position. No matter how hard the Qin Tian Jian used the stars to prove it, Li Er knew that it was just the political behavior of the Qin Tian Jian, not the real will of God.
Li Er stared at Lin Zhongtian blankly: "So it is recorded in historical records that immortals only appear briefly and then disappear?"
"I have heard that the ignorant are fearless. I wonder what you think, sir?"
"This...is this the legendary purple energy?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and bowed, smiling without saying a word.
"This fire is invisible to the naked eye, but it exists between heaven and earth. All immortals who descend to the earth will be disturbed by this fire. If they stay in the human world for a long time, they will even fall into the mortal world and return to the mortal world."
Now, he saw the purple energy in the Universe Mirror with his own eyes, confirming his identity as the rightful master of the world.
Li Er came back to his senses, clenched his fists tightly, and there was a faint anger in his eyes. He seemed to have believed Lin Zhongtian's words.
Li Er sat up straight, looked at Lin Zhongtian who was close at hand and said calmly: "If you don't worship me when you see me, do you know what the crime is?"
Li Er's pupils narrowed, and he immediately turned his gaze to the smooth silver mirror on the desk.
Lin Zhongtian said softly: "If Your Majesty only said the first half of the sentence, then Lin can be sure that there are indeed immortals in this world. But if you add the second half of the sentence, then there will be no immortals in this world."
After saying that, Lin Zhongtian drank the wine in one gulp, then turned it over to indicate that there was nothing left.
"None of them." Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said with a smile, "Lin is neither ignorant nor fearless. He just comes from outside the world, so he can deal with things in this world aloofly!"
If Yun Ye were here, he would definitely be frightened by the killing intent revealed in Li Er's words.
"Until the Great Victory of Yinshan, Mr. Yun Ye suddenly appeared as Senior Brother. Although I did not summon you, I collected your every word and deed through many channels."
Lin Zhongtian was slightly startled and looked at Li Er seemingly puzzled.
Lin Zhongtian looked at Li Er's expression, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a silver mirror, and placed it in front of Li Er.
"Of course, you didn't admit it, but not admitting it means not denying it. I have seen enough things in the world to know the difference between the two."
Lin Zhongtian nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head.
"The mountain person is detached from the outside world. He does not take joy in things or feel sad about himself. No matter the changes in the outside world, he himself remains unmoved."
Li Er didn't realize how serious he was and said hurriedly: "Sir, are you serious about what you said?"
Li Er glanced at him suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back his curiosity and picked up the Universe Mirror.
Lin Zhongtian said in a leisurely tone: "This mirror is called the Qiankun Mirror. It was forged by my ancestors from moon silver. It can not only exorcise evil spirits and subjugate ghosts, but also reflect all things. If your Majesty is willing, you can hold this mirror and see what you usually see." Something you can’t see.”
"In the same way, the same goes for immortals. If you want to live forever, you can't live in this world..."
If this Universe Mirror can really reflect all things, then if it reflects the dense purple energy on his body, wouldn't it mean that he, Li Shimin, is the rightful ruler of the world who is destined to ascend the throne?
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Yes, the purple energy on your majesty's body is a symbol of the blessing of the purple star. The rich purple energy shows that your majesty's empire is extremely stable and is entering a prosperous era!"
"I discovered that you are somewhat different from Yun Ye. You will not deny the existence of immortals."
Lin Zhongtian was not surprised when he saw Li Er's appearance. After all, it was well known that Li Er forced his father to kill his brother and gained the throne unfairly. Although his political achievements showed that he was indeed the most suitable emperor for the Tang Dynasty, in his heart, he still There is a shadow.
He blinked, picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine, then raised the glass and said seriously: "I broke into the owner's house without notification. This is indeed Lin's impoliteness. Lin is willing to punish himself with a drink. I hope Your Majesty, don’t blame me.”
"I think there is still enough time. We can keep Yun Ye and slowly find his hidden secrets."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking."
Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said: "Those who are fearless are also fearless."
The smile on Li Er's face gradually faded, and he said expressionlessly: "Is Mr. ignorant or fearless?"
Li Er raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "But I don't think so. I believe that the Tang Dynasty is the orthodoxy of China and should rule the world. Whether it is in the world or outside the world, it should be my land of the Tang Dynasty!"
Having said this, Li Er lowered his head, picked up the wine glass containing the Yun family's wine, and while turning it, he said softly: "I am still in my prime, and I am not eager to seek immortality, so I have not Yun Ye pushed too hard."
Lin Zhongtian looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has the ambition to conquer the world and level the four directions. This is the blessing of China. However, Lin felt that your Majesty may have forgotten another sentence, that is, there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky... "
With that said, Li Er raised his head, stared straight at Lin Zhongtian and said, "So, Mr. Lin, I hope you can help me clear up my doubts and tell me, are there immortals in this world?"
Lin Zhongtian pondered for a moment and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what do you think is an immortal?"
Li Er's face looked a little ugly: "What do you mean, sir, or is it Yun Ye's idea?"
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said nothing, but stretched his hand towards the silver mirror.
Lin Zhongtian put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "This statement does have some truth, but Lin also heard another saying."
"Oh?" Li Er raised his hand and said enthusiastically, "I'd like to hear the details!"
Li Er frowned tightly: "Sir, what do you mean, if you want to live forever, you can't be free from the world?"
Li Er had a shocked look on his face, but besides being shocked, he was also slightly excited.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and explained: "Didn't His Majesty want Lin to prove it to you? This is the proof!"
As soon as he came into the mirror, Li Er saw his familiar handsome face.
How could this not make him excited?
At this moment, even if all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly jumped out and said that this was just Lin Zhongtian's trick to deceive His Majesty, Li Er would definitely defend Lin Zhongtian's identity as a disciple of Immortal Lin Zhongtian at all costs!
