After a big war, Lingdu, which was not prosperous but certainly not decayed, was desolate.

Broken houses and alleys, broken walls and ruins, corpses and bones are like mountains, and blood flows like rivers.

The blood on Dongluo's chest had almost stopped, and the group of Jianghu men who fled in Lingdu also stopped their senseless struggle, leaving only the corpses in one place, which were gradually cold under the cover of heavy snow.

Dongluo staggered to his feet, this was not the first time he had seen war, nor was it the first time he had seen a dead man, but his heart was still a little cold.

He remembered that in the past, on the battlefield, every time he won a great victory, he would ride on his horse and shout excitedly, "I have conquered this land." ”

Once this sentence was heard by Chen Baxian, Chen Baxian said a word to him very seriously, and that sentence has been remembered by him to this day, and will be remembered forever.

After hearing that sentence, in the future, no matter whether he won or lost, he never said again, "I conquered this land".

He remembered that the sunset that day was redder than the blood on the grassland, and even the wind that blew looked bloody, and after the battle that day, Chen Ba first watched the sunset side by side with him, and at their feet were the corpses of countless people and the vultures that annoyed people.

He remembered that Chen Ba first said this to him, "You didn't conquer this land, you just defeated your enemy, no one can conquer this land, I can't, you can't." ”

Winter falls are terrifying and terrifying.

He defeated his enemies again today.

Lingdu was full of joy, and 100,000 people were shouting "King Han and King Han", but he didn't really hear it, he didn't know how that day had passed, because he had just stood up, and his head was black, and he fell down again. By the time he woke up, the day had passed.

......

......

Lingdu at night was pitch black, except for the enduring snow, it seemed to be abandoned by the sky, and it didn't even deserve to have starlight.

The first thing Dongluo said when he woke up was to ask Zhang Baigui Dahei!

For this big black who escaped from Shaohao's clan with him and carried him on his back on the endless wilderness, he had the most sincere emotion, which was a kind of dependence on each other. It's not that he depends on Daikoku, and it's not that Daikoku depends on him, but on each other.

When Zhang Baigui led an army of 100,000 to appear in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky, he didn't see Da Hei's figure, but the situation was complicated at that time, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, but now that he has finally settled down, he naturally wants to ask.

Zhang Baigui comforted: "Don't worry! Dahei is very good, a year ago, Nianci asked him to come to the Extreme Northern Prairie, and after obtaining the consent of me and Uncle Li, he set up the Temple of Death. I don't know what Nian Ci told him in the letter to him, he has been in Chen State most of the year this year, and now he can't get out of his body for a while, but it is estimated that you will be able to see him when you arrive in Weicheng. ”

Hearing that everything was fine with Dahei, he was relieved, Dongluo lay on the bed and turned his head to look at Xue Nianci, and asked with some confusion: "What is the Temple of Death?"

Xue Nianci shook her head and said, "To be precise, it should be the Temple of Death and the Temple of God, one is in the darkness and the other is in the light." As for what the Temple of Death is, you can ask him when the time comes, I just gave him a general framework at that time, and he will handle the rest of the things himself, and I don't know. ”

When the spring breeze gradually rose last year, he asked Da Hei to leave Luoyang with three letters and come to the extremely northern grassland, in order to form this Temple of Death, but since then, although he has occasionally been in contact with Da Hei, both of them have a tacit understanding that they have not talked about the existence of the Temple of Death.

Although Dongluo was puzzled, he didn't ask much, anyway, this Lingdu is only a few days away from Weicheng, and he is not in a hurry.

Zhang Baigui stood up and patted Dongluo's shoulder and said, "Uncle Li and my mother are also here, you wait for a while, I'll call them." ”

After a while, Li Mu and the three walked in, Zhang Tuling waved his hand to Zhang Baigui Xue Nianci and the four of them, and Zhang Baigui and the four walked out in a funny way.

Dongluo, whose face was a little pale, just wanted to get up, but Li Mu strode forward and slapped him on both shoulders, making him grin in pain again.

Dongluo's face was unconcealably happy, "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for three years, you can't beat me as soon as you meet! Even if you want to beat me, you have to wait until I am healed!"

Li Mu laughed and said: "Good boy, I'll just say that your life is hard, what kind of bullshit cold will definitely not kill you." No, you're not a child anymore, and you can't lie to you anymore. ”

Dongluo's face was slightly dark.

For a long time, he thought that the Heavenly Dao seed that hindered his cultivation was really as Chen Baxian said, it was the heavenly cold that he contracted after staying in the dead pile for a long time, and the co-author was deceived by these two old and unscrupulous people, but his heart was also slightly hot.

Li Mu patted his chest and said: "When you go to Luoyang, what did Uncle Li tell you, as long as you can't get along in Luoyang one day, you will come to Weicheng, and Uncle Li will ensure that you go sideways." Today, Uncle Li is not afraid of the strong wind in Weishui, and his tongue flashed when he spoke, this sentence still works, and even the scope can be expanded to the entire northern territory of the Great Zhou. ”

Dongluo was speechless, looking at this middle-aged man who taught him to practice boxing since he was a child, his nose couldn't help but be slightly sour.

Dugu Yunyu frowned slightly, coughed lightly and said: "Li Mu, it's almost there, he is now the King of Han, and his status is higher than that of you, the general of the town, if you want to go sideways, you still need to protect it!"

Li Mu quipped: "You care about me, I want to protect it, who said that the general of Zhenbei can't protect the king of Han, look at Chen Baxian, isn't he also me protecting ......"

Li Mu's voice weakened as he spoke, and even the expression on his face became painful.

Who said that the general of Zhenbei couldn't protect the king of Han, he was a captain of Weicheng and protected the king of Han, but he still didn't keep it after all.

The atmosphere in the room became heavy, and Dongluo was a little silent.

After a long time, Li Mu sighed lightly and said, "Don't talk about this, let's get down to business!"

Zhang Tuling sat on the edge of Dongluo's bed, looked at Dongluo with a trace of grief on his pale face and said: "The national teacher said that as long as you can walk to the north of the Great Zhou alive, all the people in the Great Zhou who are against you will be wiped out in person, so that you no longer have internal worries." Now as long as you cross the Lingdu is the northern border of the Great Zhou, from now on your only relationship with the Great Zhou Kingdom is that you are one of the eight kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty Han King, nothing else, the country you established is not a subject country of the Great Zhou. ”

"The so-called Nine Monarchs of the Great Zhou Dynasty have the same status, which means that although you are nominally the King of the Great Zhou Han, you actually have nothing to do with the Great Zhou Kingdom. ”

Dongluo thought for a moment and said: "In other words, the eight kings of the Great Zhou are only the nominal Nine Monarchs of the Great Zhou, and in the general environment, the eight kings of the Great Zhou only need to respect the son of Zhou Tianzi, and the others don't need to be ignored?"

Zhang Turing nodded and said, "Yes, just respect Zhou Tianzi together." ”

Dongluo frowned slightly, "What is Zhou Tianzi's intention to do this?"

Zhang Tuling immediately interrupted Dongluo, and said solemnly: "Don't say, in the future, it's best if you don't want to miss this issue." You can do whatever Zhou Tianzi asks you to do, just do your best, don't tell anyone, you can't say it to us, and you can't say it to Zhang Baigui and Xue Nianci. ”

Li Mu also nodded solemnly, "Do you know what it means not to want to miss it? That is, after leaving the Great Zhou Kingdom, you can be your Han King, Zhou Tianzi's affairs, you don't even think about it, it's best to be if he doesn't exist." ”

Dongluo was even more puzzled in his heart, he seriously thought about what Zhou Tianzi had said to him, it seemed that there was nothing that he couldn't say to outsiders!

But even though Li Mu and Zhang Tuling said so, there must be something else that he hadn't thought of, so he hurriedly let go of all his thoughts, and sure enough, he didn't think about it anymore, and he didn't think about it anymore.

Zhang Tuling said: "Do you know what the word "Son of Heaven" means by Zhou Tianzi?"

Dongluo thought to himself, isn't it named after himself? Like some son of heaven! What kind of chosen son! But Dongluo knew that Zhang Tuling would ask like this, and that matter must not be so simple.

Dongluo shook his head.

Zhang Tuling pondered for a moment and said: "Other people's titles of the Son of Heaven may be named by themselves, but Zhou Tianzi is not, his title of the Son of Heaven is given by heaven and earth, and it is witnessed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth." ”

"Son of Heaven, carry by heaven, set an example in the world. ”

"The Son of Heaven is ordered by the heavens, and he lives forever. ”

Zhang Tuling's expression became more and more solemn, "You are now the King of Han, and you will definitely be the Son of Heaven in the future, and what you have to do is to set an example in the world, set an example in the world, speak for the world, and speak for the world." This is what we want to talk to you today, it is very important, and this is also the meaning of the national teacher. ”

At this moment, Dongluo seemed to have taken over the heaviest burden in the world, and he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "As people grow older, the things on their shoulders also gradually increase. ”

Dongluo felt a little unreal, he had already known that he should have stepped into a big game of chess, and he was also working very hard to become a pawn in this big game, and to become a very important one, so that the chess player was willing to reopen a game for him in an already determined situation.

But now he still feels in the clouds, inexplicable, after thinking about it, he didn't understand, and finally he decided to do what Zhang Turing said, first be a good Han king, do his duty first, and do the things in front of him well.

The duty of a chess piece is to take a step and look at a step.

Thinking about the near future, what should be played next, that is the business of the chess player, and it has nothing to do with him.

Dongluo thought about the predicament he was facing at the moment, it seemed that there was nothing but the blood cloud above his head, and it happened that Li Mu and several people were there, so he could just ask.

After Dongluo finished asking, Li Mu and Zhang Tuling's eyes fell on Dugu Yunyu's body, and Dongluo also looked over.

Dugu Yunyu said casually: "This is karma, visible cause and effect, the bad luck in the mouth of the fortune teller of the rivers and lakes, it is not difficult to eliminate it, just do more good deeds." Of course, I can also help you cut it with a sword, but there is no need, it will only be good for you to cross the tribulation, and there is no harm. ”

Dongluo exhaled lightly, it can be eliminated, if you are unlucky for a lifetime, and you will stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, then who will you reason with.

"However, before this karma is removed, you'd better not add any more karma, otherwise you will wait for the mental calamity to come, and your heart will burn and die!"

Dongluo's face instantly became extremely ugly.

Dugu Yunyu laughed and said, "What scares you, visible karma can't burn you." ”

Dongluo breathed a sigh of relief.

Dugu Yunyu suddenly stopped laughing, and said with a serious face: "What can be seen is that it can't burn you, but what you can't see will make you have countless ways to die, such as the great karma of heaven and earth on your body, which is much more than this." ”

Dongluo was speechless, lying on the bed on all fours, and sighed: "Aunt Zhang, what else do you have to say, is it okay to finish it all at once, let me die clearly." ”

Dugu Yunyu spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's gone." ”

Dongluo turned around, looked at Dugu Yunyu and asked, "Aunt Zhang, did you save me in Guangling City?"

Dugu Yunyu was stunned for a moment and nodded, "It's me, as well as you, Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, and Mr. Li, they all went." I didn't see you at the time, because I didn't want you to feel that we were protecting you in the dark, so you could relax your vigilance, and now that you've come here, it doesn't hurt to tell you. ”

He has been thinking about this for a while, and now that it has been confirmed, it is really them, and only they should be able to save him, and his heart is naturally moved.

Zhang Tuling said with a smile: "Don't worry! The Yao family's affairs are already over, and their compensation is also on the way north, it is estimated that when you officially establish yourself in Chen Guo, you will be able to see it." The piece of jade that you used to buy Nian Ci's life, Yao Baoshu used to buy his life again, and now it is in your Aunt Zhang's hands! After you are healed, your Aunt Zhang will pass on a method of practicing weapons to you, and it will be a pity to abandon such heavenly and earthly treasures. ”

The corners of Dongluo's eyes were sour, and he almost cried again.

Li Mu quipped: "When the boy grows up, he can't cry his nose!"

Dongluo's expression was big, and he hurriedly pulled the quilt to cover his face, "I didn't cry! ”

Li Mu and the others laughed, "Wangwang......"
