The night was silent, and the palace was cold.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon, pitch black shrouded the heavens and the earth, the candlelight swayed, swaying with the wind, swaying out of a shadow, two shadows, the shadow was flickering, like a lonely ghost in the night sky, nothing to settle, and like duckweed in the rain, swaying and restless.

In the night, in the candlelight, she swayed her body, her graceful body, like a snake-like figure, twisted and moved, all attracting attention, she came to another figure, and said: "I didn't expect you to come out too, why didn't you stay in your place where you didn't see the light of day?"

The voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, it seemed that the two knew each other, were familiar, and even friends, and the other figure said lightly: "Aren't you coming out too? You are much better than me, at least you live in that place, there is the moon, there is light, the darkness is only temporary, you can always see the dawn, and I, the cold one, if I don't come out again, I will die." ”

With three points of banter, three points of naughtiness, and flattery, another figure shook his head and said: "Isn't it better to die, it is also death when you come out, and you are also dead inside, why not be a hundred in it, so as not to come out and harm others." ”

"Giggles, you're so funny, say it as if you didn't come out to harm others, you must know that you Ji Wushuang killed a lot more people than me, I think back then, you didn't frown, killed thousands of people, this time, how many people do you want to kill? hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands?"

The person known as Ji Wushuang was not angry, but laughed: "Haha, haha, I can't imagine that your Si Bai still remembers the incident back then, so many years have passed, you still remember, it's hard for you, but I remember that you were watching from the side." ”

Another woman, called Si Blank, was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to know, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to find me, it's not easy." ”

"Do you think that your Night Heart Sutra cultivation has reached the highest level? Even so, you can't escape my perception, you know, it was night. ”

The joking voice filled the surroundings, faintly visible, the shadow shook violently, crooked, and then, Si Bai suddenly realized: "I thought that your Tianyue Mental Method had been cultivated to that level, but I thought I was thinking too much." ”

The two knew each other well, revealing each other's past, but there was no sense of happiness or excitement, and the words had been said, and the two passed through each other, their figures crossed, and disappeared into the darkness, and when they disappeared, the dark clouds moved, and the moon came out to shine on the heavens and the earth.

The same is the Imperial Palace, inside the palace.

The atmosphere here is not as relaxed as outside, the atmosphere is solemn, so that his heart can't tremble, breathe, the chamberlain who served His Majesty's side, his movements are much stiffer, and there is a big difference from usual, he moves slowly, raises his hand, puts it down again, and stands there expressionless.

In front of him, there is a person sitting, this person is His Majesty Li Zhengbei of the Southern Dynasty, due north, the homonym is to conquer the Northern Dynasty, the unification of the north and the south, but unfortunately, after decades of reign, it is still unchanged, how should it be.

The old body, caused by hard work day and night, the body is very weak, it doesn't look like a cultivator at all, under the old body, the eyes are bright, glowing with a different fierce light, staring at the inner servant in front: "The three sons are dead, they all came out, do you think that the imperial capital is not chaotic enough, come out to add a fire." ”

The inner servant's body trembled, and he didn't dare to speak, the third prince Li Ming died, His Majesty was very heartbroken, you know, the third prince is His Majesty's most optimistic son, he died, died in a secret realm, died in the hands of the peasant family of Qingyang Academy, and wanted to kill the damned man, but he didn't know why he didn't make a move.

And recently, the situation in the imperial capital has changed, and the people who should come out have come out, and the people who have hidden the imperial capital for more than ten years have also appeared, and they all seem to know that the moment has come, can Li Zhengbei not be angry?

The chamberlain knows everything, and it is precisely because he knows that he does not speak and does not mention it.

"Bai Shou, you have been with me for more than ten years, don't you understand me?"

The chamberlain bowed his head, lowered his head, and looked at the ground, cold and ruthless, not only the ground, but also his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't dare to speculate. ”

Li Zhengbei's body trembled, and then the coughing sound continued to sound, echoing in this cold world, there were no words of concern, and no one helped, the people who should be standing stood, the people who should be sitting sitting, except for the two of them, there was no one else.

"Bai Shou, do you say that they all jumped out and just wanted to watch me die? I don't understand why I am not doing well enough to be as good as they want, why do I treat me like this. ”

"Ahem. ”

The cough sounded, blood spurted out, Bai Shou didn't move, continued to bow his head, as if he didn't see it, deaf to him, Li Zhengbei got used to it, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said desolately: "I'm going to die, can't they be quiet for a while?"

Bai Shou opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, they have been waiting for decades, and they feel that it is time to come out, so they came out, it is not your fault, Your Majesty." ”

When Li Zhengbei heard this, he laughed: "Yes, they have been waiting for decades, and you have been waiting for more than ten years, Bai Shou, you have been waiting for this moment, I ......." ”

The prolonged sigh sounded in this space, very cold, ruthless and indifferent, Li Zhengbei waved his hand, Bai Shou retreated, Li Zhengbei sat on the dragon chair, and muttered to himself: "I was wrong, for so many years, for this empty power, what have I done, how much effort has been spent, in the end, it is just a void." ”

"Hey, why bother. ”

There was a voice behind him, the voice was full of sighs, sighing something, I don't know, he walked out and looked at the old man in front of him, who was already terminally ill and incurable.

"Brother, you're out too?"

The man looked at his younger brother seriously, shook his head and said, "Yes, I also came out, but don't worry, I'm not interested in your position, you can give it to whomever you want, I just want to get that thing." ”

Li Zhengbei looked at his brother, the first feeling was young, the second feeling was vibrant, completely different from his broken body, and suddenly, he seemed to regret it.

However, that kind of thought flashed by, was abandoned by him, regretted, not what he should have, he is the emperor, the emperor of this empire, the existence that everyone looks up to.

"Brother, why bother, it's not something we can compete with. ”

The man smiled and said, "Besides, isn't there anyone else? As long as I can get a little blood, I can go further, and when the time comes, the world is so big, I can't go anywhere." ”

Li Zhengbei was stunned for a long time, until his brother left, he didn't notice, and when he came back to his senses, there was no one around him, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, the world is so big, I can't go anywhere, but it's a pity that I can only stop here." ”

…………

Time flies, in a hurry, three days have passed.

Three days, for cultivators, is just a matter of closing their eyes, waking up from cultivation, Dugu Lang looked down at his body, green vitality energy continued to permeate his body, trees were thick, and the room was already a green forest, swaying in the sun, it was very beautiful.

Dugu Lang took a look, his mouth opened, he exhaled a breath, the vitality dissipated, the trees disappeared, the room returned to its original state, Dugu Lang raised his hand, felt his strength, has broken through to the middle stage of the sub-sage, slightly improved a level, after entering the holy realm, each realm is divided into three phases, the front, middle and back, to the later stage, it is the peak, and the next step is to break through the realm.

It is not so much the result of three days of cultivation, but the result of continuous fighting these days, the cultivation is a natural breakthrough, Dugu Lang feels it, hides the good breath, and probably suppresses it to the realm of the little sage, and low-key is the king.

Leave a line in everything, this is the principle of Dugu Lang, cultivation should also be hidden, can not let others know your hole cards, so that you are not afraid of being calculated, if all your hole cards are exposed, then you will be greeted by death.

"It's been a long time since I've been so comfortable cultivating, and the Sutra of Creation and Transformation of All Things is about to reach its extreme, it's time to find more scriptures to read, and continue to improve this technique, otherwise, when you get to the back, you won't be able to break through. ”

Dugu Lang's exercise can only be cultivated until before asking the Tao, after the most holy, and after that, if the exercise is not perfect, it will not be able to continue to break through, and now there is still time, but this time is not much, Dugu Lang estimated in his heart that the time left for him is only a few years, and he must improve this exercise, the books of Qingyang Academy, he has read them roughly, and almost all of them are used to improve the Creation of All Things.

I can't continue to improve, I don't know if there is a scripture that Dugulang wants in the imperial capital, if not, I can only go to other places to look for it, and I can find it while I practice.

"It's really a headache, why did you practice such an exercise in the first place, but now it's miserable, and it's going to be troublesome. ”

Dugu Lang doesn't want trouble, but now he can't do it, he can't practice the exercises, he can't change them, and it's impossible to change the exercises, so he can only be a little tired by himself, thinking of this, Dugu Lang has to sigh that his life is really bitter.

"Leave it alone for the time being, when the trip to the imperial capital is over, I will have to go through it. Dugu Lang decided.

Experience and see the beauty of the outside world.

This thought, come together, Dugu Lang knows what he wants, and the quiet life can't continue, he can only miss it.

"Hey, born to work hard. ”

sighed, Dugulang cleaned up, opened the door, walked outside, the dazzling sunlight illuminated his eyes, it was very dazzling, his eyes couldn't be opened, for a long time, after Dugulang adapted, he looked outside, and had to sigh: "The weather is so good." ”
