Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor's Original Sin
Two days later, the pangolin's eye was cured, and the doctor prescribed some medicine and told him to go home and recuperate. The two of them returned to the Thousand Buddha Grottoes.
The entrance to Shilian Cave has been sealed, and it is no longer possible to enter it by the same way.
Mei Tingxue, who rushed to rendezvous, put a sword on the neck of the pangolin demon: "You'd better hand over the Nine Dragons Halberd, don't play tricks, otherwise I'll kill you." ”
The pangolin hid behind Yan Shuangmeng: "Woman help." ”
Yan Shuangmeng turned around and said, "Then you should think of a way, where else can we get in." ”
Pangolin said: "There is a way. The inside of the Yin-Yang Cave and the Shilian Cave are connected, I will go to the Yin-Yang Cave to make a hole, and we will enter from that side. ”
The three of them and one demon went to the Yin Yang Cave, but fortunately, there were no people who went up the mountain to worship when it rained today.
When the pangolin reached the deepest part of the Yinyang Cave, it crackled and drilled a hole at the top of the Yang Cave, and after a while, a black hole appeared on the top, and the pangolin was gone, and a heat wave erupted.
Mei listened to Xue Qi and said, "The cave is usually cold, how can there be such a big heat?"
Yan Shuangmeng said: "This cave is called Yin Yang Cave, but I am afraid that this Yang Cave is connected to the earth's leylines, which is the heat from the underground." ”
"Three heroes, the road is open, come up. "The sound of pangolins can be heard from inside the cave walls.
Gu Chen said: "Two girls, go up, I'm here to guard the wind and watch the entrance of the cave." ”
Yan Shuangmeng glanced at him, and sure enough, every time something happened, he would leave first, and then no one knew what he was doing.
"Senior Sister Yan, let's go. Mei Tingxue urged.
"Good ......"
Yan Shuangmeng and Mei Tingxue flew in from the entrance of the cave and crawled along the newly opened hole of the pangolin. After climbing a cup of tea, my eyes finally opened up.
The two of them climbed out of the narrow passage and jumped down, and an open cavern appeared in front of them. The cave chamber is three zhang high, and there is a huge stone pillar in the center, and the nine dragon halberds in the stone pillar can be faintly seen.
"It turns out that this is the Nine Dragons Halberd, so mighty!" Mei Tingxue exclaimed.
Yan Shuangmeng saw the Nine Dragons Halberd, but there was no reason for a sharp pain in her heart.
Fortunately, Mei Tingxue stared at the Nine Dragon Halberd excitedly, and didn't notice that something was wrong with Yan Shuangmeng. "How can I get the Nine Dragons Halberd out?"
The pangolin demon said: "I can't take it out, four hundred years ago, it was the gods in the sky who sealed the Nine Dragons Halberd here, and I relied on the divine energy emitted by the Nine Dragons Halberd to cultivate into a human form, and I don't know how many times faster than other monsters to cultivate, if I could take it out, I would have taken it out and cultivated a long time ago." ”
Mei Tingxue said: "Senior Sister Yan, I'll take a look separately." ”
The two of them looked carefully around the towering stone pillar. The Nine Dragons Halberd is embedded in the stone pillars, exposed in some places and hidden in others. As soon as Yan Shuangmeng reached out and touched it, a hallucination suddenly appeared in front of him!
In the golden and brilliant Nine Clouds Purple Palace, the temple that should have been surrounded by auspicious clouds was shrouded in a gloomy mist at this moment. The Emperor sat on the throne as usual, but his head hung weakly. The long hair was scattered disheveled, congealed with the blood flowing from the wound on his chest, as if a blood-colored flower had bloomed on his chest. The Nine Dragons Halberd lay at his feet, its blades still stained with blood......
The gods stood sadly at the Highness, surrounding another half-kneeling man.
This man was dressed in a uniform that had not yet faded after returning from the battlefield, and his red cloak hung behind him, like blood like the sun. The handsome beauty had a cold expression on his face, and his sword eyebrows were deep, he had just returned from the battlefield of the decisive battle with the Demon King, and he originally thought that what was waiting for him was the reception and reward of his father, how could he have expected such an ending......
The Nine Dragons Halberd is his weapon.
"Gu Chen, why did you kill your own father?!" a graceful and luxurious woman asked sharply.
"Queen of Heaven, please calm your anger and listen to Gu Chen's explanation. "Someone next to him was talking.
"I saw it with my own eyes, how can I explain it? Lingjun also saw it with my own eyes, Lingjun, Lingjun?"
A faint voice sounded in the crowd of "......", and it turned out to be the scarlet-clothed fairy that Yan Shuang often dreamed of.
"Lingjun, tell everyone, what did you see?"
Lingjun's lips moved slightly, and his dark eyes looked at his dearest brother and friend.
Gu Chen also raised his head and looked at him fixedly.
"Speak quickly, Lingjun!" cried the Queen of Heaven aloud, "Do you want to make your majesty hate?"
Lingjun's chest rose and fell violently twice, and he said in a low voice: "Just now I came in with the Queen of Heaven and saw ...... Gu Chen stood beside His Majesty, holding the Nine Dragons Halberd in his hand. Your Majesty......"
"How is Your Majesty?" asked the elder next to him.
"Your Majesty is what you see it like this......"
"And then, Lingjun, don't you say I'll tell you!" the queen of heaven said sharply, "Gu Chen is a thief, and when he saw us suddenly come in, the Nine Dragons Halberd in his hand fell to the ground. At that time, only he and His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven were in the Zihuan Palace, it was him, it was he who killed His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. ”
"Why did he do this?" said a male god in green clothes with curly hair next to him, "He is the crown prince, and he has just returned victorious, so he has no reason to do so." ”
"Yuexi said that Gu Chen is a descendant of the god of war, and he has no motive to do so. Did you miss any details?" said another male god dressed in white with a cold face.
The Queen of Heaven narrowed her eyes: "Yuexi, Dongjun, you are all new gods born directly from the body of the Emperor of Heaven, you are still young, and some things are secrets that everyone knows." ”
Everyone in the hall, especially the seven older elders, was silent.
The Gods of War are tasked with guarding the Celestial Realm, but at the same time, the killing in their nature consumes their hearts. The slain Emperor of Heaven also led the gods in rebellion against the tyrannical rule of the previous Emperor, killed his own father, and obtained imperial power, which only the oldest gods know.
Gu Chen was born from the blood of the Emperor of Heaven, the heir of the purest God of War clan, could it be that he is also repeating his father's past and repeating history......
The Emperor of Heaven has ruled the Divine Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, and his divine power has failed, while the newborn God of War Gu Chen is young and strong, and his southern and northern wars have become famous in the Three Realms. At this time, if Gu Chen really wanted to seize the throne, no one in the heavenly realm could stop him.
After being silent for a long time, the chief elder spoke: "Lingjun, you are born with the ability of a prophet, tell me, do you think Gu Chen has any reason to kill the Heavenly Emperor?"
Lingjun walked in front of Gu Chen, stretched out his hand to hold Gu Chen's hand, and his eyes were relatively slow to speak.
The queen of heaven hurriedly said: "Lingjun, you tell the truth, as a prophet, you can't lie, otherwise you will be punished by God." ”
Gu Chen looked at Lingjun's eyes and said, "Lingjun, you can say it, just tell the truth, I won't blame you." ”
Lingjun bit his lower lip, tears began to fill his eyes, and he slowly spit out a word: "Yes." ”
The queen of heaven breathed a long sigh of relief: "Elders, Lingjun will not lie, Gu Chen has a reason, we have also seen with our own eyes, his sin is unforgivable, please make the decision of the elders." ”
"No!" Lingjun turned around, "Brother has a reason, but he will never do it!"
