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?"

Lin Zhongtian chuckled: "Your Majesty, that's right."

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?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "People from the mountains and wild areas do not understand etiquette, which makes Your Majesty laugh."

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.

"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 smiled and said: "Your Majesty is joking."

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?"

When he said these words, Li Er looked calm, but in fact he meant something else, implying murderous intent.

If Yun Ye were here, he would definitely be frightened by the killing intent revealed in Li Er's words.

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.

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.”

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian drank the wine in one gulp, then turned it over to indicate that there was nothing left.

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!"

"I have heard that the ignorant are fearless. I wonder what you think, sir?"

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!"

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?"

"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!"

"……Yeah?"

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!"

"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 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... "

Li Er had no expression on his face: "You mean, Bai Yujing is outside the sky and is not under my control?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and bowed, smiling without saying a word.

Li Er stared at him for a while and suddenly asked: "Prove it to me!"

Lin Zhongtian was slightly startled and looked at Li Er seemingly puzzled.

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!"

"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.”

"But the more this happens, the more I feel sure that Yun Ye has something up his sleeve!"

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."

"I think there is still enough time. We can keep Yun Ye and slowly find his hidden secrets."

"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."

"I discovered that you are somewhat different from Yun Ye. You will not deny the existence of immortals."

"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."

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 said without hesitation: "Longevity and long-term vision, carefree in the world."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and shook his head.

Li Er frowned and asked in confusion: "What does this mean, sir?"

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 are no immortals in this world."

Li Er frowned tightly: "Sir, what do you mean, if you want to live forever, you can't be free and easy in the world?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, do you know what the word immortal means?"

Li Er sat up straight: "I would like to hear the details."

Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "Immortals are mountains. If you use the simplest words to describe it, then becoming an immortal is to cultivate into a person like a mountain. Yun Ye said that becoming an immortal is to become a stone, which comes from this."

"Mountains are detached from the outside, not happy with things, not sad with themselves, no matter how the outside world changes, I will remain unmoved."

"Similarly, immortals are the same. If you want to live forever, you can't be free and easy in the world..."

Li Er's face was a little unhappy Good-looking: "Did you listen to what the gentleman said, or what Yun Ye said?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head: "Yun Ye only knows the fact, but not the reason. The reason why immortals want to avoid the world is because this world is in turmoil, with billions of people living in it, and countless distracting thoughts gather and interweave, forming a phenomenon called red dust fire."

"This fire cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it exists between heaven and earth. All immortals who come to the world will be harassed by this fire. If they stay in the world for a long time, they will even fall into the mortal world and return to the mortal body."

Li Er stared at Lin Zhongtian in a daze: "So the history books record that immortals are all short-lived and disappear in a flash?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said: "I'm not sure whether the records your majesty said are true, but if there are immortals who live in the world forever, then they must be deceiving your majesty..."

Li Er came back to his senses, clenched his fists tightly, and there was a faint anger in his eyes. It seemed that he had believed Lin Zhongtian's words.

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.

Li Er was slightly startled, and looked at Lin Zhongtian in confusion.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, didn't you ask Lin to prove it to you? This is the proof!"

Li Er's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately cast his eyes on the smooth silver mirror on the table that looked like an ordinary object.

Lin Zhongtian said leisurely: "This mirror is called Qiankun Mirror. It was forged by my ancestors with moon silver. It can not only exorcise evil spirits, but also reflect everything. If your majesty is interested, you can hold this mirror and see things that you can't see at ordinary times."

Li Er didn't understand and hurriedly said: "Are you serious, sir?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled but didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand towards the silver mirror.

Li Er looked at him suspiciously, hesitated for a while, but still couldn't help his curiosity and picked up the Qiankun Mirror.

As soon as he entered the mirror, Li Er saw his familiar handsome face.

But in addition to this handsome face, he actually saw a large area of ​​purple air surrounding him.

These purple airs were like mist, floating slowly around his body, sometimes converging into one, sometimes dispersing everywhere, looking quite magical.

"This... is this the legendary purple air?"

Li Er showed a look of shock on his face, but besides being shocked, he was also faintly excited and excited.

After all, purple air has been auspicious air since ancient times, and it is born with emperors and sages.

If this Qiankun mirror can really reflect everything, then it reflects the purple air on his body, doesn'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 air on your majesty is a symbol of the blessing of the Purple Star. The rich purple air shows that your majesty's country is extremely stable, and is steadily entering a prosperous era!"

"Good, good, good!"

Li Er looked at the purple air in the mirror, excited like a child in a dragon robe.

Lin Zhongtian was not surprised to see Li Er like this. After all, it was well known that Li Er forced his father to kill his brother and got the throne illegitimately. Although his political achievements showed that he was indeed the most suitable emperor for the Tang Dynasty, there was still a shadow in his heart.

He had always been worried about the fact that he got the throne illegitimately. No matter how much the Imperial Observatory used astrology to prove it, Li Er knew that it was just the political behavior of the Imperial Observatory, not the true will of heaven.

Now, he saw the purple air in the Qiankun mirror with his own eyes, confirming his identity as the true master of the world.

How could he not be excited and excited?

At this moment, even if all the civil and military officials in the court suddenly jumped out and said that this was just a trick used by Lin Zhongtian to deceive His Majesty, Li Er would definitely defend Lin Zhongtian's identity as a disciple of the immortal at all costs!
