Chapter 298: Spiritual Domain (1)
At night, the deep palace is also particularly quiet.
Xu Changsheng, who was ordered to lead the way, walked in front, while Dongfang Shuo lowered his head and followed him against the palace wall.
At this time, Dongfang Shuo's mind was still haunted by the words that the prince threw at him.
"Dongfang Shuo, what the prince means, I think you should be able to understand. ”
Xu Changsheng, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke, bringing a trace of non-discordant sound to this secluded palace road.
As soon as these words sounded, Dongfang Shuo, who had his head down, immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Changsheng in front of him.
Xu Changsheng had stopped at this time, and turned to face Dongfang Shuo.
Therefore, Dongfang Shuo will also take a foothold.
"The Six Princes need me to kill, but they can't let me kill them myself. Dongfang Shuo spoke in a low voice, what he said was exactly what the prince said to him in the main hall. Then, he pursed his lips and expressed his understanding: "I think the core meaning of the prince should still be the first half of the sentence." As for the second half of the sentence, it should be an additional condition that must be guaranteed while I carry out the first half of the sentence. ”
He wanted to kill, but he couldn't kill with his own hands.
If you taste it more, it is not difficult to understand the reason.
"The interpretation you are making at this moment is the most superficial meaning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words. Xu Changsheng said, "I can't say that you are completely right, but I am not wrong." So, can you see why?"
Dongfang Shuo exhaled heavily.
"Do you people who have lived in the deep palace for a long time like to talk in this way, isn't it good to be straightforward?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but complain again and again.
Listening to this complaint, Xu Changsheng's face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"In this place, which is called 'Gongfu', the most alluring thing is power. Those who get it need to hold on to it and ask for more, while those who don't get it will try their best to get it. Xu Changsheng opened his mouth and said, "All the people are meditating hard all day long for such a thing, every corner is stared at, and any mistake of anyone will be infinitely magnified." Although it is easy to be straightforward, the cost is unknown. ”
Dongfang Shuo pursed his lips.
He said: "To put it bluntly, it's just the intrigue of a group of idlers." ”
"It's precise. ”
Xu Changsheng smiled, and then immediately pulled the topic back, "After walking around a corner, it is where you stay." Before I send you back, no matter what it is, I have to know first, whether you know it or not. ”
Dongfang Shuo took a step forward and walked to Xu Changsheng.
At this point, there was only a few feet between the two.
"If you want to know what the prince thinks, you must first figure out the prince's purpose. Dongfang Shuo said, "And the prince's purpose is not difficult to see from the three words he deliberately said to me directly just now. As the prince, he didn't want the control of the spiritual realm to fall into the hands of someone outside him. ”
Xu Changsheng did not speak.
The only thing he had to do next was to deny. If you don't speak, you affirm.
Dongfang Shuo quickly continued: "So right now, the only roadblock in front of the crown prince is the six princes. Removing obstacles, with the hands of the crown prince, is not difficult to do. But if you want to get rid of this obstacle once and for all, you can't be rude, you have to be safe. And if you do it directly, all the blame will definitely be pointed at the prince soon, even if it is not pointed at the prince himself, it will be used by people with intentions to anchor the prince's wings, but it will create more trouble for the prince. ”
Xu Changsheng remained silent.
Dongfang Shuo said: "With such an understanding, it is obvious that not only can I not do it myself, but no one can do it at will. The death of the six princes must be justified, or even logically watertight. He paused, and then a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "If you can let the emperor do it himself, that is the best policy." ”
Hearing this, Xu Changsheng immediately waved the dust.
Then he turned and turned in the direction he had been going.
"In the future, in this palace, don't mention the honorific name of any of the people just mentioned. Xu Changsheng, who had his back to Dongfang Shuo, said lightly, "After all, no one knows if there will be ears on the outside of this wall." ”
As soon as the words fell, he walked forward.
Dongfang Shuo was silent, and after pursing his lips, he immediately followed.
Walking around the corner, both of them could already see the triple palace wall, the outermost gate.
Outside the gate, a patrol guard was approaching from the other direction of the corridor, and the distance between the two was about thirty or fifty zhang.
"It's great if you can do your best, and if you can't, it's better not to show up on the other side. At this moment, Xu Changsheng stopped and said in a low voice.
Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "The prince promised me half of the dividends of the spiritual realm, since I have my share in this world, I will naturally do my best." He didn't stop, but walked straight to Xu Changsheng's side, and after passing by, "Interests are far more reliable than favors." ”
As soon as the words fell, he walked forward without pause.
As he said, the prince's promise was that as long as he could complete the mission, the prince promised him half of the dividends of the Longlin Empire within the spirit realm.
Originally, he was going to seek the spiritual domain from the hands of the Longlin Empire, and he could get a glimpse of the Longlin Empire, but now that he is still weak, then doing so is tantamount to snatching food. And at this time, you only need to do one thing well, and you can get half of the dividends of the spiritual realm, why not?
Seeing Dongfang Shuo passing by the patrol guards, and then entering the palace gate, Xu Changsheng retracted his gaze, turned around and returned the same way.
"If he really succeeds, it doesn't mean anything to him to be my grandson of old bones, right?" Xu Changsheng muttered something to himself as he walked.
Then he disappeared into the night.
And so, it was dawn.
It took only half an hour for the sky to be white, and the entire sky was already illuminated by the sun.
At this time, the young men and women of the twenty-eight counties had already woken up to the call of the eunuchs and palace maids, completed their washing, and successively went to the dormitory of the six princes in the East Palace, the square in front of the Yuling Palace, under the leadership of the eunuchs and palace maids.
When all the young men and women were neatly lined up in solemnity, in the slowly open door of the main hall, the six princes walked out of the main hall to the top of the stairs, surrounded by a group of eunuchs.
"This guy isn't such an easy person to deal with, is he?"
Looking at the six princes at the top of the stairs, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but squint.
Beside him, Su He vaguely noticed the strangeness on his face.
"Dongfang Shuo, how can your expression look like a hunter seeing his prey?" Su He said coldly.
These words made Dongfang Shuo's heart tremble, and he turned his head to look at the young man beside him.
His martial arts talent is average, and he can even be regarded as a lower-to-average level, but it seems that because of his life experience, his insight into the emotions and atmosphere of others is very keen and accurate.
"Didn't I say that I want to take you to the Spirit Realm to make a big difference. Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "The spiritual domain is our goal!"
"It's obviously a person who hasn't even been to the spiritual realm, and he still talks so much. Su He glanced at him and said, "Although I promised to come out with you, I just had the mentality of giving it a try, and I didn't put all the treasure on you." Also, the main thing, I was trying to be able to get out of that place that upset me. ”
"Just keep your eyes peeled and wait to see the results. ”
Dongfang Shuo smiled and said.
So, the twenty-eight counties were ready to go.
Under the guidance of the six princes, a team of 1,700 people walked out of the palace gate and came to the main road of the East Palace.
Compared to the rest of the palace roads, this road is very spacious.
And at the end of the road, a finely carved palace wall is erected.
Dongfang Shuo was almost at the front of the line, and naturally he was the first to arrive at the end of the main road of the East Palace and cross the palace wall, except for the six princes and his party.
Behind the palace wall is an empty boundary.
There are no carved railings, no pavilions, only a circular stone platform with a radius of five zhang.
On top of the stone platform, there is a hollow stone gate about five zhang high.
At both ends of the stone door, two lifelike dragons are coiled in a carved position, and the dragon heads are opposite each other and outline the appearance of the door frame.
Compared with the Dragon Gate of the Heaven Dou Sect, it seems that the little family is a little angry.
However, the Dragon Gate of the Heaven Dou Sect, after all, is just an ornament, and it was also built by relying on the topography of the two mountain peaks, so it is basically useless except for the ornamental value.
"Bongyin!"
When everyone arrived here, a chief eunuch beside the six princes shouted loudly.
So, a middle-aged eunuch who had been waiting on the side for a long time walked to the side of the six princes with a wooden disc in both hands.
Dongfang Shuo fixed his eyes and saw that on the wooden plate, there was a palm-sized red jade pendant.
After the eighth prince picked up the jade pendant with both hands, he walked up the stairs alone on the stone platform, and then the spiritual power surged, and the jade pendant seemed to be pulled by some kind of force, and floated to the middle of the two pillars of the stone dragon head, which directly released a crimson brilliance.
Eventually, the light filled the stone gate, and a light curtain was suddenly formed.
"Into the Spiritual Realm!"
The chief eunuch shouted again.
As soon as the words fell, the six princes closest to the light curtain were the first to set off and step through the light curtain and disappeared without a trace.
Behind the light curtain is the spiritual realm.
So, everyone set off one after another, following the footsteps of the six princes to the spiritual realm.
Among the people who walked in the front, there was naturally Dongfang Shuo's figure.
Passing through the light curtain, the crimson light in front of him instantly turned into a white glow, and all the perceptions around him disappeared without a trace at this moment.
In this white world, one step further, a burst of faint blue light immediately appeared in front of Dongfang Shuo's eyes, as well as a world of blue sky.
The sky here is not blue, but green.
As far as the eye can see, the whole world is shrouded in mist, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that this is not a mist, but a heaven and earth aura that is so dense that it is visible to the naked eye!
Here, it seems to be an ocean of heaven and earth aura.
"Is this the Spiritual Realm?"
Dongfang Shuo's heart was shocked.
The other end of the 'portal' is also located in a city, but even in this man-made city, it also has such a strong aura of heaven and earth, so wouldn't those inaccessible wildernesses outside the city be overwhelmed by the aura of heaven and earth?
And in this spiritual realm, there are countless spiritual veins criss-crossed.
If you can get half of the dividends, how terrifying and astronomical it will be?
And what Dongfang Shuo wants to do is just kill someone.
Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze.
But just as he lowered his head and was about to walk forward, the halberd in front of him blocked his way.
It was only at this moment that he finally discovered that there were several circles of young soldiers in armor and halberds around the stone gate.
There was only one person left in the encirclement, and outside the encirclement, beside the six princes, there was a familiar figure.
The Eighth Prince. Take a hundred plating on the latest chapter of "I'm not a villain, Ah Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
