In the Xianle Palace, the palace where Master Miaomiao11 Dao lived was very high, and one could see the entire Jingdu from there.

Master Miaomiao11dao, who was wearing a robe, stood by the window and seemed to use his invisible eyes to look at the magnificent scenery of the world.

“Do you think it’s Kunpeng’s Pisces Array too?” He asked, turning his head from the window.

Not far behind him, stood two tall apostles. The one with pale complexion, long hair reaching to the ground, and a heavy chain around his body was Du Shuo who had fought with Nan He not long ago.

The other person had a horn on his forehead, and his bronze skin was covered with strange red lines. His name was Hao Han.

Du Shuo snorted softly and didn’t speak, but he didn’t deny it either.

“When I heard Yun Xuan mention it, I thought since he was young he got it wrong,” Master Miaomiao11dao sat back in his seat, raised his sleeves and brushed the white jade plate in front of him. The smoke on the white jade plate dissipated and what appeared was a calm sea.

“I didn’t expect him to leave this life-saving skill to a human child.” Miaomiao11 Dao stared down at the sea area, and seemed to whisper to himself, “Perhaps, Kunpeng really likes humans.”

 “Do you feel guilty?” Du Shuo sneered, “Even someone like you will sometimes feel sorry for others.”

“Du Shuo.” Hao Han turned to look at him and shook his head disapprovingly, “Don’t talk to your Shifu like that. You’re asking for trouble.”

Miaomiao11 Dao didn’t seem to hear, but quietly faced the white jade plate in front of him. The sea water that appeared on the white jade plate was blue, and the sapphire-like sea was hiding a world that no one knew about.

He looked at it for a long time, and his expression was a little lonely, “How can there be no guilt when you are born as a human being? It’s a pity that Dao is ruthless. In order to pursue the way of my generation, I have to give up too many things.”

He waved his sleeves, “Go ahead. That child is here, go bring her in.”

Yuan Xiang came to Xianle Palace in a carriage, only to see the layers of temples painted with carved buildings, pearls and emeralds shining.

The place where Master Miaomiao11 Dao was located was the highest. Following the old pine trees, one had to go up the steps to a square paved with purple stones. Around the square were erected Mengzhang Shenjun, Jianbing Shenjun, Lingguang Shenjun, Zhiming Shenjun, the half-human stone statues of the four Gods of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. (Shenjun: Sage)

At the back of the square, a pine tree stood, and there was a magnificent palace in the middle.

On the steps outside the vermilion gate, stood a demon with a bluish-white-faced, thin lips and dark skin with a shackled body.

“Come in with me, he wants to see you,” Du Shuo gave Yuan Xiang a light look, then turned around and entered first.

Nan He grabbed Yuan Xiang and shook his head disapprovingly, “Don’t go, I feel that there is a very powerful presence inside, and we are not his opponents.”

Yuan Xiang clenched her hand, “This is the first time I have received news about Shifu. I really want to go. Besides, I think if they want to harm us, there is no need to invite us here. Can’t he come to me?”

Nan He hesitated for a moment, then let go of Yuan Xiang. When passing through the door, the air seemed to stagnate for a while, and there was a slight sound. Yuan Xiang went in, but Nan He and Wu Yuan were blocked outside the door.

When Yuan Xiang looked back, the gate was hazy, and she could no longer see the scene outside the gate.

Wu Yuan’s anxious voice sounded in her mind, “Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang, how are you? We can’t get in, we’re blocked out, these people are too cunning.”

“Without Master’s permission, no demon can get in,” Du Shuo stopped and told her. His eyes were cold, not warm, “Don’t worry, if he really wanted to deal with you, he won’t use this method.”

Yuan Xiang thought about it and said to Wu Yuan, “I’m fine, you and Nan He should just wait outside.”

She followed Du Shuo down a long corridor, and there were tall red lacquer pillars on both sides, auspicious patterns, but engraved with lifelike demons.

Along the way, those demons were either chasing and devouring humans with their teeth and claws, or they were pressed under the red pillar and could not turn over. The light and shadow of the sun came in from the gap between the red pillars, casting a light spot on the ground.

Du Shuo walked slowly in front of Yuan Xiang with his bare and pale feet, the thick shackles on his ankles made noises along the way.

Yuan Xiang looked at the iron chain that penetrated his body, and couldn’t help but ask, “Does it hurt like?”

Du Shuo turned half of his pale face to the side, and his thin eyebrows turned, “When humans put them on oxen and drive them to plow, do they consider whether it hurts? When they bridle the horses and let them pull the cart, do they consider whether it hurts? Prisoners, slaves and servants, do they consider if they are hurt?”

Yuan Xiang looked at his slender brows, and suddenly felt that he was very similar to a person.

She remembered when Wu Yuan said, “When demons transform for the first time, they often change according to the similar appearance of the person closest to them. And this appearance becomes fixed.”

“Wait a minute.” Yuan Xiang asked, “Do you know a girl named Ah Qing?”

The clanging footsteps suddenly stopped. The person with long hair reaching the ground did not look back, paused for a moment, and then started to walk again.
