In ancient times, there was a person who opened the heavens, who took his eyes as the sun and the moon, incarnated into mountains and rivers, determined the universe, created Kyushu, and became the ancestor of heaven and earth, and was able to preach the Tao and complete his merits. Later, people set fires; Fu Xi on the nine palaces and gossip; Shennong took himself as the tripod and tried a hundred herbs to bless the people, and since then, the three emperors have successively returned to the great god throne.

During the Zhuan period, there were Gonggong Zhurong and other ancient capable people who fought wildly, and then Gonggong angrily touched the Zhou Mountain, until the sky was broken, and the heavenly pillar fell, so that the sun could not be light, and the moon could not be bright, and all the people were hunted by fierce beasts and died for natural disasters. The great gods of the upper realm decided on the technique of mending the sky, sealing the way of heaven with the technique of Fuxi, looking for the five-colored stone, and then the people led the fire god to refine it, and handed it over to Nuwa to mend the sky. It is temporarily supported by the power of many powerful gods. Later, Nuwa came out of the chaos to find something that supported the sky, and when she saw the giant ao, she wanted to cut off her feet to support the sky, but she didn't want the giant ao's feet to be extremely hard, but Nuwa couldn't move its roots with her divine power, and she couldn't break it if it wasn't a sharp weapon, so the great gods called all the people to refine the extremely sharp weapon.

There is a craftsman in the west who is called "牱顚". Known for forging swords, when he heard this, he secretly looked for Fuxi, and wanted to exercise the sword with the ancient forbidden method, and got Fuxi's acquiescence.

He found nine kinds of ancient god gold, forged for many years, and found the soul and resentment of the dead in disasters and wars as the source of the sword, and captured tens of thousands of living people to die as the spirit, and when the furnace was opened, the sky was all blood-red, and the resentment went straight to the sky.

The god Nuwa took this sword and finally slashed the giant turtle four enough to determine the heavens and the earth, but when she learned the forbidden method of casting the sword, she was angry and could not do it. Later, the great gods rewarded those who made meritorious contributions to the heavens, or obtained positive results or preached the world. On the day of the great achievement, the gods were proven, but they did not reward a single person. Nuwa said: "The universe is set again, and the power of the gods is gathered, so that all the meritorious people have been sealed." "I was not convinced. Nuwa said to her: "It is a great achievement, and there are also great faults, and it is a great achievement to forge a very sharp sword to make the foot of the giant turtle be cut; Using the ancient taboo evil method to refine the sword, tens of thousands of people were killed at every turn, and hundreds of thousands of souls were reduced, which was a big mistake, and the fault was greater than the merit. ”

After Nuwa and other gods returned to the throne, he used the forbidden method to refine this sword, slaughtering tens of thousands of people again, giving the name "killing dust", the gods were furious, and the gods punished him, but he didn't want to "kill the dust" to protect the lord so that the heavenly god punishment could not be moved, so the gods led the gods to destroy the gods. Later, the people used the supreme divine fire to refine the demon into ashes, but they never refined the "Killing Dust Sword", because the evil spirit of killing dust is too heavy, if it is allowed to fall into the lower realm, it is afraid of change, so that all beings will experience a blood rain again, the god decided to seal its evil energy in the sword with divine power and hand it over to the surviving descendants of the god of war Chi You [Jiuli Clan] for generations to guard, and recognize the status of the God of War Chi You, and make future generations not wars against the Jiuli Clan. Therefore, the Chiyou Houyi Jiuli clan was protected by the gods and was called the [forgiven clan]

Even if the huge family is rich in its glory, it is difficult to escape the fate of evaporation, and it is the opposite of everything. But Cangtian is a bookmaker that no one can reach, it is used to holding up its fate at the peak, and then smashing it hard, the Chu family is such a family.

The Chu family has been a general for generations, and has been favored by the emperor for nearly a hundred years, and in addition to the royal family in the capital of Chang'an, it will belong to the Chu family. Since 20 years ago, the head of the Chu family - Chu Jianyi was ordered to quell the chaos, before the expedition, the Son of Heaven asked a hermit to build a giant sword, personally sent to the Chu general Jianyi, and bowed outside the imperial city to send the soldiers of the three armies, since then the morale of the three armies has increased greatly, all the way through the thorns and thorns, until after the Pingkou, the Son of Heaven specially named Chu Jianyi as a prince with a different surname, and built the palace of the king of Chu. At this time, the status of the Chu family had reached a peak, but the good times did not last long, and a few years later, a strange illness broke out in the Chu family: the people of the Chu family often had red eyes and lost control of their spirits. The family members fled one after another, and since then the Chu family has been regarded as a cold person, and in the past few years, the Chu family has been unable to solve the hermit's ability, and those who are different in the palace cannot be treated. And the palace of the king of Chu is also known as the ominous place.

Three years later, Chu Jianyi's wife Hua left a son, who died three years later, and Chu Jianyi is a person who practices martial arts, and his physique is stronger than ordinary people, but he is also tired of strange diseases, because he can't bear to be affected by this, so he sent it to the palace, only wishing that Emperor Xuan would have a good life to raise, and it can be regarded as a queen for the Chu family, and he returned to the Chu Palace, and some people persuaded him to leave this place or avoid this catastrophe, but he insisted on refusing: "The emperor's grace is given, and it cannot be abandoned." ”

Time is like the water of a great river, rushing and never returning, and fourteen years have passed since then.

【Imperial Palace*Study】

The study is resplendent in gold, there are dragon jade pillars, carved on the beams, several steps of the main hall are still the royal symbol of golden yellow, there is a desk case, the yellow cloth hangs to the ground, and then there is a person sitting on the golden chair of the dragon, that person is wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, and there are some tea stains at the cuffs......

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang, what are you looking for a child?" Chu Haoge bowed down, but did not bow down.

Emperor Xuan: "Haoge, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be restrained." Emperor Xuan got up and waved his hand indifferently, looking more cordial. Then Emperor Xuan walked down the steps to Chu Haoge, patted Chu Haoge on the shoulder and said: "Haoge, you have often wanted to see your father since you were a child, but your uncle never allowed it, so you had to sneak out a few times to see your father in private, during which you were in a hurry, and you couldn't talk more about your father and son, do you blame your uncle?" ”

Chu Haoge: "This ...... If my uncle wants to hear the truth, there are some of them. I was a little overwhelmed, but finally nodded and agreed.

Emperor Xuan: "Alas, not only do you want to see Brother Chu Wang, why don't I want to see him?" Presumably, you should have heard about the affairs of the Chu Palace. He turned around and paced back and forth a few steps, and his voice was sad: "Three years before Sister-in-law Wang gave birth to you, your family suddenly fell ill, and since then, I have not seen Brother Chu for the next twenty years, don't I want to?" Those civil and military ministers said that they should not go to ominous places. And I'm afraid that you have also suffered an illness when you have been to the Chu Palace, if so, how can I be worthy of Brother Wang...... How can you be worthy of it......"

Chu Haoge: "Uncle......" His nose was sour, but he still didn't say anything.

Emperor Xuan: "I learned from my letter to Brother Wang yesterday that Brother Wang ......" Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanhuang turned his back to Chu Haoge, his throat 'gurgled', he paused a little, looked at the roof of the shed, and continued: "Brother Wang, his time is short......"

"What?!" Chu Haoge interrupted him before the emperor could finish speaking: "Father, he ......"

Emperor Xuan touched his face with his hand, then turned around, faced Chu Haoge still looked like usual, and said, "Brother Wang, he has one last wish...... It's just goodbye to you......"

Chu Haoge: "Uncle, my nephew wants to go to my father." He faced Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan smiled, then nodded and said, "I know, I won't stop you if I tell you, but there is one thing, my uncle wants to ask you for a favor." ”

Chu Haoge: "This ...... Uncle Huang, as the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, what can't he do, and he still needs the help of his little nephew? Chu Haoge looked suspicious.

Emperor Xuan: "Alas, even as the Son of Heaven, you can't do whatever you want, and sometimes there are more restrictions...... I want to see your father, but not to be noticed, and to go out unnoticed. I don't know why, Emperor Xuan even changed his self-title, "Haoge, you have a lot of ideas from a little ghost, you help your uncle think of a way, and your uncle will go with you to see Brother Wang." ”

Chu Haoge: "This ...... Well, let me think about it. ”

……

Emperor Xuan nodded, and after a while, Chu Haoge seemed to have a flash of inspiration and said, "Uncle Huang, you wait for me, I'm afraid I will have to wronged you for a while." Emperor Xuan smiled and gave him a noncommittal expression, and then Chu Haoge walked out of the study through the window.

When Hao Ge returned to the study for a long time, he carried two eunuch clothes and two wooden shelves, which should be used for drying clothes.

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang, this is something I finally found, you can put it on." With that, Chu Haoge handed the clothes to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Xuan took the clothes and sniffed it: "This smell...... Why is it a little ......" but had to be replaced.

Chu Haoge: "At this hour, there are very few people in the palace who can enter and leave casually, so we have to pretend to be a eunuch who pours swill out of the palace." ”

Emperor Xuan's face was black, obviously he hadn't worn this kind of clothes with a very pure taste.

After Chu Haoge finished changing his clothes, he placed two chairs at the table at the bottom of the steps, placed a chessboard on them, placed the wooden shelves on the two stools, and then draped the clothes of the two of them separately.

Chu Haoge: "It's okay now." Chu Haoge smiled.

Emperor Xuan couldn't help laughing twice: "Hehe, you have had a lot of ghost ideas since you were a child, and your mother will definitely make you torture unclear,"

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang, isn't this a special situation. He waved his hand awkwardly.

Xuanhuang: "And then?" Shall we go through the window? Emperor Xuan walked to the window and looked at it, it was still quite high, although he had practiced martial arts before, but after so many years, I am afraid that it has been abandoned a lot.

Chu Haoge: "Of course it's through the door." ”

Emperor Xuan frowned: "The main gate? But there are eunuchs and guards at the main gate, and they won't be recognized? ”

Chu Haoge smiled: "The reason why they know you is because you are wearing an imperial robe, if you take it off, I'm afraid few people will recognize you." Chu Haoge had a smug expression on his face.

After that, the two of them went out of the study, and there were two guards with their backs to the study, wearing guard clothes, and standing here with swords at their waists.

Chu Haoge walked in front, and the two of them were a little strange to see the two eunuchs come out, because no eunuch entered the study just now, but they didn't say anything.

Chu Haoge paused and said in a eunuch tone: "The emperor has an order to play chess with Prince Chu, no one is allowed to disturb, and no one is allowed to enter, do you understand?" ”

The two of them were a little strange, but seeing that this person's mouth was in a commanding tone, they were afraid that they were the emperor's henchmen, so they didn't dare to collide in the slightest, so they hurriedly responded in unison: "Yes, father-in-law." ”

The two of them and Emperor Xuan walked face to face, stunned and didn't recognize it, although Emperor Xuanhuang was happy in his heart, he was also a little angry, he usually didn't see these two people often, but now he didn't know him when he took off his dragon robe, which made him not angry.

In this way, the two of them slipped out of the palace by taking advantage of the introduction of swill out of the palace, and after coming out, Emperor Xuan felt that he liked this Chu Haoge more and more, and said in his heart: "I have always had many heirs, but the eldest son is stupid, the second son is cowardly, the third, fourth and seventh sons are insidious and cunning, bent on winning the emperor, and the ambition is monstrous. The fifth son is full of economy, kind, but does not know how to be flexible, too modest, if this son gets the throne can guard the world, not a loss, the sixth son loves martial arts like an idiot, is a handsome talent that is rare in a hundred years, but if it is not appropriate to take over the country, but the son of the king of Chu is clever and fickle, although his temperament is a little stubborn and informal, but it can be regarded as a literary and martial arts, and he wants to be martial, alas, if it is my child......"

【Chu Wangfu】

The two came to the gate of the Chu Palace, and when they looked at the past, it was as desolate as a tomb, like a ghost house, and it was even more chilling when the sky was already dark.

Chu Haoge entered without knocking on the door, and said as he walked: "I don't know when my house will no longer be closed, even at night." ”

"I heard my father say that even pickpockets don't want to come into my house to steal."

Emperor Xuan didn't answer, just let Chu Haoge lead the way in front, and he followed silently behind, at this time he felt that he was not a Ninety-Five Supreme, not a son of heaven, but an ordinary person who had not seen his brother for many years.

There are gardens, rockeries, and pavilions in the courtyard, but because no one has taken care of them for many years, the flowers in the garden have withered to the point that only a wasteland remains, and the water of the rockery has dried up, and the pavilions and corridors are even more old and in disrepair, dilapidated.

The two arrived at Chu Jianyi's bedroom, and the two walked in one after the other, the room was neat and orderly, obviously it had been cleaned, but they didn't see Chu Jianyi's figure, but the candlelight had not been extinguished, at this time both of them were a little worried, Chu Haoge thought: "Father said that he wanted to see me, he must not lie to me, but he didn't see his father's figure, could it be that something happened to him?" Thinking of this, Chu Haoge was a little impatient.

Chu Haoge: "Uncle Huang, my father is ......" looked back at Emperor Xuan, but Emperor Xuan did not look at him, but looked at a letter on the table.

Emperor Xuan: "This should be the letter left by Brother Chu Wang." ”

Chu Haoge didn't care about any etiquette, hurriedly picked up the letter, and read it in a low voice: "My son Haoge, when you saw this letter, your father should have left, and some words should have been narrated in person, but how could my father find some clues at this time, so he wanted to verify some things, don't worry about my father, I think you and my father and son will see each other again."

You are ten and seven, for your father and you have already gone out with your father when you are so old, and you should not live in the palace anymore, by this brocade clothes and food, the Chu family has a distant relative in Jiangling, and he was very kind to him in his early years, and now he should be a big family, you can go to him.

The Chu family was prosperous for a while, and there were many treasures, but my father only left you two treasures, and these two treasures are the most precious treasures of my Chu family, one is the jade pendant you are wearing around your neck now, which is the jade pendant handed down by my Chu family. The second is the sword [Starlight] that the emperor gave me back then, and you can take it out under my couch.

If what I expected is correct, the emperor should come with you, the emperor has always valued affection and righteousness, and must have come when he learned that I was critically ill. Wait for me to ask the emperor for my guilt, forgive me for the crime of bullying the king, and say goodbye without saying goodbye. The emperor should not have been invited to come here in person, but this matter is very important, and it must not pass through the hands of the people in the palace. Hao Ge looked at Emperor Xuan in puzzlement, his father said in the letter that he had something to explain, but he didn't mention it, what does this mean?

Emperor Xuan: "Forgiveness...... What a crime Brother Wang has, he is dedicated to serving the society of the country......" Emperor Xuan glanced at Chu Haoge, shook his head, and said: "In the early years, Brother Wang once passed a secret letter with me, which was to use some secret means," As he spoke, Emperor Xuan put the letter on the candle flame and roasted it, and after a long time, he immersed it in ink, until the whole paper was dyed black, and then printed it on the white paper, and the white paper was dyed black in an instant, and the blank space was connected into a few words: "Do not touch the boundless end." ”
