Chapter 761: Recalling the Time Under the Peach Blossom Tree! Taoist Priest and Beggar

"You are lucky enough to recognize Prince Yuan."

Mo Huaixian said lightly, seemingly not surprised by Gao Li's recognition.

"It is because of Lord Yuan Wang's recommendation that I can serve His Highness." Gao Li replied respectfully, looking at Zhou Dao with eyes full of gratitude.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Dao changed his destiny.

If it weren't for the recommendation that day, he would now be just a little eunuch in Anyang Palace who could be bullied at will. He wouldn't even know when he would be beaten to death.

But it was because of Zhou Dao that he rose to the top and became a personal attendant of the Thirteenth Prince, and he was quite favored.

"I didn't expect that this little guy would follow the senior." Zhou Dao whispered.

"That's not the case." Mo Huaixian waved his hand and said to Gao Li, "His Royal Highness's morning class is almost over. You can go and wait on him."

"Slave, please retire."

Without any hesitation, Gao Li saluted Zhou Dao and Mo Huaixian, turned around and walked out of the yard.

Mo Huaixian looked at his retreating figure and then slowly withdrew his gaze.

"Prince Yuan, please come this way."

As he spoke, Mo Huaixian led Zhou Dao to the stone table next to him and sat down respectively.

At this moment, tea is boiling on the stove, steaming hot, and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

"My place is very secluded and few people in the palace know about it." Mo Huaixian said.

"One day, the little guy passed by and saw me doing heavy farm work, so he took the initiative to come in and help. He got familiar with it as soon as he went back and forth." There was no emotion or anger on Mo Huaixian's face, and he just narrated lightly.

"He doesn't know the identity of the senior?" Zhou Dao suddenly asked.

"Can Prince Yuan see that?" Mo Huaixian said with a smile.

Zhou Dao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

If you didn't know Mo Huaixian, who would have thought that the old man who looked like a farmer in front of you would be the most powerful eunuch in the palace and the largest eunuch leader in the world.

"That little guy has a kind heart and has formed a good relationship."

"He is very smart. I heard people say that when he first entered the palace, he was the weakest among the eunuchs. He had no foundation in the palace and was often bullied. However, whenever the steward asked, he said nothing. Say it." Mo Huaixian said calmly.

As the ancestor of this group of eunuchs, if he wanted to, he could get to the bottom of everyone.

"Prince Yuan should know that this dynasty has been extremely strict in the palace since Taizu, and lynching and bullying are not allowed in name..." Mo Huaixian said.

Once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea. It is not easy to implement these rules, let alone these most despicable slaves! ?

"That little guy was often beaten until he couldn't get out of bed for a long time, but when questioned, he didn't say a word, nor did he say who was beaten." There was a trace of appreciation on Mo Huaixian's face.

"The water is too deep and the wind is too strong. If you don't have the strength, don't talk." Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed.

"What King Yuan said is very interesting." Mo Huaixian's eyes lit up: "He understands this truth at a young age."

"Of course, if that's all, he's just a slightly smart little guy."

Mo Huaixian stared at the fire making tea, smiled slightly and said: "King Yuan, do you know that he has gained your appreciation? How did he treat the minions who bullied him before he came to power?"

Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

That day, he promoted Gao Li casually and didn't care at all. Naturally, he never paid attention to the little eunuch again after that.

"The bully who he hated the most was beaten to death in front of all the slaves in the yard."

Mo Huaixian said calmly.

"As for the others, instead of taking revenge, this little guy rewarded each of them with five taels of silver to celebrate his promotion to His Highness's personal attendant."

"Both kindness and power, those people are afraid that they will have no other thoughts in the future." Zhou Dao looked thoughtful.

He never expected that this young eunuch named Gao Li would be so sophisticated at such a young age.

Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Those monkey cubs who had bullied him before escaped death and received rewards. I am afraid they are even more frightened and afraid of him. If he is grateful, he will only be determined to stand on the ground in the future, and he will not dare to have other thoughts.

"This is not something a seven or eight-year-old child can do." Zhou Dao couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder senior is willing to train him personally."

"It's not because of this that I like this kid." Mo Huaixian shook his head.

"Isn't it because of these?" Zhou Dao was stunned, and then blurted out: "Then what else could it be because of?"

"Prince Yuan may not know that the encounter between this little guy and the old slave was no accident." Mo Huaixian narrowed his eyes slightly, with a vague smile.

"He spent eight hundred taels of silver to bribe the little eunuch next to me, and then he found out about this place."

"He is quite scheming." Zhou Dao whispered.

Nothing in the palace could be hidden from the eyes of this ancestor.

"No..." Mo Huaixian seemed to see through Zhou Dao's thoughts and shook his head.

"That's what he told me himself."

"Huh!?" Zhou Dao was stunned.

"There are many smart people in this world, but most of them are smart..." Mo Huaixian said with a smile.

"He knows his own value very well, and there is nothing more than sincerity."

"He's really special."

At this moment, Zhou Dao couldn't help but re-examine the little eunuch Gao Li.

"Lord Yuan Wang may know that this old slave is trusted by your majesty. There are countless people in this palace who want to be close to me." Mo Huaixian said directly.

"Those people hide their ambitions under various banners, but still make others feel invisible."

Mo Huaixian sneered: "Who is born in this world without ambition?"

"The smartest thing about this little guy is that he makes no secret of his ambition."

Zhou Dao couldn't help but nodded when he heard this.

Who wouldn't want to climb up above this palace?

As a superior, would you rather be a hypocrite who has eight hundred intentions but tries his best to cover it up, or a slave who is both smart and loyal to you without any reservation?

The most brilliant thing about Gao Li was that he confessed everything to Mo Huaixian. Regardless of whether he had deceived the ancestor in the palace or not, he showed that he had no reservations.

Even though she knew what he was thinking, Mo Huaixian still couldn't help but love this little guy.

"It seems that this little eunuch has really taken advantage of the rising clouds." Zhou Dao said with a smile.

The clouds he was talking about were naturally Mo Huaixian.

"This son has the look of an eagle watching a wolf. Even if he is in trouble for a while, as long as he gains power, he will definitely achieve something in the future."

As he spoke, Mo Huaixian reached out his hand, picked up the hot teapot directly from the stove, and poured a pot of tea for Zhou Dao.

"Your Majesty asked the old slave to entertain King Yuan well. This is the only tea that the old slave can handle."

"Your Majesty!?" Zhou Dao was surprised.

He originally thought that today's meeting was just the old eunuch's whim, but he didn't expect that it was Emperor Qin's wish.

"Yuan Yuan assisted King Fu on the Feng Chan platform and made great achievements. Your Majesty will naturally know about it."

Zhou Dao was silent when he heard the words.

On the Fengchan platform, he killed the remnants of Tianshi Dao. Naturally, this matter had already reached the ears of Emperor Qin.

Back then, Zhou Dao helped the thirteen princes complete their initiation ceremony, and all received the great honor of being conferred a royal title.

The outside world is speculating on what kind of reward the court will receive for such a great achievement.

Who would have thought that since the ceremony of enshrining Zen, everything in the palace has been calm and there has been no reaction at all.

Zhou Dao himself felt strange.

Who would have thought that Emperor Qin didn't show any expression, but chose to let Mo Huaixian, an old eunuch, entertain him.

this……

"Dare I ask, senior, does your Majesty have any other wishes?" Zhou Dao couldn't help but ask.

"No more." Mo Huaixian shook his head.

"Prince Yuan, there is no need to be restrained. It's just a matter of drinking tea."

"What the hell, I helped him level the Heavenly Master's way, so I'm just going to give him a cup of tea?" Zhou Dao muttered in his heart.

Of course, it was impossible for him to say such disrespectful words in front of Mo Huaixian.

"Prince Yuan can give you a taste." Mo Huaixian made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Dao nodded and looked around, only to see that the soup in the cup was clear blue in color and overflowing with fragrance, with a slight aroma of wine.

"It smells so good. What kind of tea is this?"

"Sunset drunk!"

Mo Huaixian's eyes narrowed slightly and a name came out of his mouth.

"Drunk at sunset!?"

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk, and the sunset is always intoxicating..." Mo Huaixian sighed softly, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

"Fifty years have passed since the sea of ​​clouds became disillusioned. When I taste this tea again, I am reminded of an old friend."

Suddenly, Mo Huaixian spoke and looked at Zhou Dao.

"As people get older, they talk more and always think about the past. I'm afraid Prince Yuan doesn't like to hear these old stories."

"Seniors are joking. Listening to the stories of our predecessors can refine your mind." Zhou Dao said softly.

After all, there are only a few monks in the world who can enter the Taoist realm. With such cultivation, they are willing to be eunuchs in the palace.

This made Zhou Dao quite curious about the past of this great eunuch.

"When the old slave was young, his mind was wandering and his temper was unstable. He successively visited Xuantian Temple, Imperial Palace, and the Demon Control Department to practice Taoism and specialize in refining things."

"Huh!?" Zhou Dao's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

Under the ancestral system of the Qin Dynasty, eunuchs were not allowed to serve as officials and participate in politics.

So, Mo Huaixian did not enter the palace as a eunuch when he was young?

That's even stranger.

Since ancient times, those who entered the palace as eunuchs were from poor families and had no way of living, so they sent incense to the palace and cut off their descendants.

At such a young age, Mo Huaixian was actually able to move through the three major institutions of Xuantian Temple, Imperial Palace, and the Demon Control Department one after another?

Not everyone can do this.

"I think I have some talents, and when I first developed my magical powers, I became arrogant and did not take my peers into consideration." Mo Huaixian sighed leisurely.

"Perhaps, there were few talents in the capital at that time, so I gave him the title of Mo Invincible."

"Mo Wudi!?" Zhou Dao was surprised.

The capital city is at the feet of the emperor, the abode of the true dragon. How could it be associated with so few talents from ancient times to the present?

Perhaps not many people remember Mo Wudi's name nowadays.

But if you ask old people like Uncle Qin and Uncle Xu, they will definitely remember it deeply and will never forget it.

"Prince Yuan must also know what it's like to become famous at a young age." Mo Huaixian said with a smile.

Zhou Dao touched his nose. He was indeed famous at a young age.

"I was so arrogant that I walked out of the capital and even worshiped in Feixian Palace."

"Flying Immortal Palace!?"

Zhou Dao did not expect that this old eunuch was still studying under Feixian Palace.

"Feixian Palace is worthy of being the Sixth Avenue Sect. It took me seven years to get the title of [Immortal Seed]." Mo Huaixian said in a scornful tone.

But when Zhou Dao heard this, he was suddenly surprised.

"Immortal seed!?" Zhou Dao's eyes widened and he looked at Mo Huaixian with some suffocation.

Immortal Seed is the title given to candidates for the future leadership of Feixian Palace. Those who can obtain this title must be one of the strongest successors in the world.

"This old eunuch..." Zhou Dao swallowed.

He originally thought that Mo Huaixian entered the palace at an early age and slowly climbed up from the grassroots to his current position.

Who would have thought that this old eunuch would have such a glorious and terrifying past.

Obtaining the title of [Immortal Seed], if nothing unexpected happens, you can almost become the headmaster of Feixian Palace.

You know, that is one of the six great gates.

"Senior, you..."

Zhou Dao stopped talking, but Mo Huaixian seemed not to hear and continued talking.

"That year I left Feixian Palace and traveled around the world..."

"At that time, I had achieved magical powers and was so heroic, but I no longer took the world's heroes in my eyes."

Mo Huaixian's cloudy eyes flashed with confusion, and when he mentioned the spirit of his youth, the old man couldn't help but be moved, as if he was gradually remembering the feeling back then.

"It was that year that I met a Taoist priest in front of the peach blossom forest at the foot of Wudao Mountain. He was about the same age as me, but he was also extremely crazy." Mo Huaixian sighed.

"I had a disagreement with him and we got into a fight."

"At that time, I had mastered my magical powers. Among my peers, there were very few people who could match the three moves..."

Mo Huaixian said it easily, but it made Zhou Dao look sideways.

"Who would have thought that the young Taoist priest was as powerful as a dragon rising from the abyss, and that he actually fought me for three hundred rounds, with no outcome."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Mo Huaixian's face.

"Who is young and not frivolous? I was so high-spirited at that time, how could I bow my head? I made an agreement with that person to fight again in half a day."

"Just like that, we fought for three days and three nights at the foot of Wu Dao Mountain, but we still couldn't decide the winner. At this moment, a young man who looked like a beggar had been watching the battle for a long time..."

"He was lying on the peach blossom tree with a wine gourd hanging around his waist. When he saw that my fight was getting better, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded. He took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and sprinkled them over."

"This...he treats you as a trickster." Zhou Dao couldn't help but said.

"At that time, the Taoist priest and I were both shocked. Knowing that this beggar was not a good person, we actually killed him in unison."

"Who would have thought that that beggar doesn't have an amazing appearance, but he possesses incredible magical powers. With just a hundred moves, he actually managed to subdue both of me."

"So powerful!?" Zhou Dao was surprised.

Although he didn't know about the Taoist priest's magical powers, the name Feixian Palace [Immortal Seed] was not just blown away.

The beggar faced two masters of this level and was able to defeat them within a hundred moves. His strength was simply astonishing.

"The beggar said that he is invincible among his peers. He is a rare person in the world who can handle hundreds of moves. He should drink this wine."

"As he spoke, he picked up the two of us and walked to the depths of the peach blossoms to drink heavily."

After saying this, Mo Huaixian looked at the tea in his hand with a sad and distracted expression.

"Back then, we drank this [Sunset Drunk], boiled it into tea, and brewed it into wine... Later, we agreed to come here every year to discuss Taoism..."

Mo Huaixian's expression turned gloomy.

"It's a pity that things in the world are changing. I've only seen the peach blossoms there three times..."

"Later, the Taoist priest returned to Longhu Mountain and inherited the position of headmaster..."

"Could it be..." Zhou Dao's heart was slightly shaken.

"Perhaps King Yuan knows that his name is Mijueluo!"
