Volume 1: Prologue: A Glimmer of Light Chapter 68: The New King Succeeds to the Throne (Two Chapters in One)
The earth is divided into two parts, and there is no bottom in the middle, and there are still remnants of sword qi, causing the wind and snow in the sky to never fill this abyss, and it has been shattered before it can get close.
From the bitter cold ice field in the extreme north of Shenzhou to the south, there is a huge ravine about 100 miles long, which spreads to the foot of the Wolf God Mountain, and is cut off by people at the waist.
The huge ravine that longitudinally runs from north to south ends horizontally, and on the side of the Wolf God Mountain is a sharp and protruding cliff, on which stands a scarred man.
The wolf king, Yelu Xucai.
Yelu Yucai was seriously injured, and his life was on the verge of death, just relying on a touch of divine light descending from the Wolf God Mountain to maintain his life, not to mention returning to the king's tent to lie down and recuperate, just lifting his feet and moving a few steps to kill immediately.
The old priest beside him struggled to maintain the barrier so that the wind and snow would not invade, and the master and servant waited here for the return of Yelu Langya.
Yelu Xucai's voice was hoarse: "Is the road paved?"
The old priest responded: "Wolf King, I have killed everything I can kill with my own hands, and those who can't be killed have been properly suppressed." ”
Yelu nodded faintly and said, "That's enough, the rest is only left for his tempering, and I believe he can settle it." Langya's talent is even better than I was back then, I hope you can accompany him to become a talent, let him take that thunderous half a step for me, as a father, as long as he can successfully reach the Five Realms, open the secret realm of the Wolf God Mountain, and inherit the mantle of the wolf god, at that time, the wolf court can really be unified, and you can also think about it when you go south to extinguish the Ming, if it is too difficult, forget it. ”
The old priest bowed down and said, "The old man must convey it on his behalf." ”
Gazing at the ice field wind and snow, the wind and snow are sudden, rushing forward, and it is impossible to distinguish who is in front and who is behind.
Yelu Xucai seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "You are old, you should be tired after so many years, it's time to let go, go into the mountains and go into seclusion, guard the secret realm for me for a few years, and take care of my tomb by the way." ”
The old priest smiled bitterly: "I have never fought for you in my life, how can I be embarrassed to fight with your son again when I am old, don't worry, I don't have the cheekiness to usurp the throne." ”
The corners of Yelu Yucai's mouth curled, not like the pathos of a dying person, but a little proud, and said: "Your son is very smart, why do you keep pressing him? Let him assist Langya, just like you and me at the beginning, more like this wind and snow, the wind helps the snow, the snow makes the wind cold, and it rolls in regardless of each other, unstoppable." I would be relieved. ”
The old priest had a little headache, waved his hand and said: "Smart is smart, but that's all clever, not old enough, if you meet a Ming national teacher, you have to pay a lot." ”
Yelu Xucai laughed and said: "Stinky and shameless old thing! I'm so embarrassed to say? If you have your son's three points of wisdom when you are twenty years old, how can I press you everywhere? In fact, they have always done better than us, but they lack some experience, and they can practice more. As for the old monster like the Ming National Teacher, who can't touch a single one for hundreds of years, if you lose it, you will pay for it, our generation of old ones will not be spared, so why bother to ask for the small ones. The Wolf Court has lost so much this time, can it be even worse? I don't see it. In that case, it's good to leave the road ahead to them on their own, and we don't interfere too much. ”
Nearby, the entourage who rushed over looked dumbfounded and looked at each other.
The wolf king is talking and laughing with the old priest, why doesn't he look like he is half-cut into the ground, could it be that the rumors are wrong?
Yelu Langya was inexplicably sad, and bowed: "See my father, my son is late, I hope my father will forgive my sins." ”
Yelu Xuancai turned around and smiled: "Is Langya here?" Quick, come forward, Daddy will talk to you." ”
The old priest bowed silently, and his entourage also left, leaving only the wolf king and the prince here.
Yelu Langya stepped forward according to his words and said, "Father, you ...... you"
Yelu Xuancai interrupted him and scolded with a smile: "Silly children don't understand the rules, today we don't care about kings and ministers, we only talk about fathers and sons." ”
Yelu Langya was silent.
Yelu pointed to the ravine in front of him and asked, "What can you see from this?"
The ravine is as wide as a hundred zhang, like a moat, it is hard to imagine that this is the work of one person, let alone the abyss that spreads for hundreds of miles in front of it?
The sword aura is still the same.
Yelu Langya said: "The sword is profound, at least it is also a character like the sword ancestor and the sword head to do it, and when the child returned, he has investigated in many ways, the sword ancestor and the sword head have never left Yangzhou, and the sword masters in Shenzhou have always been famous, almost all of them come from the sword mound, and there are few unborn kendo masters, so they assassinated their fathers...... The murderer of Daddy is very likely to be the Sword Ancestor Ertu Yuanting who claimed to have died in the East China Sea back then. ”
Yelu Yucai first nodded, then shook his head again, pulled him to sit down on the edge of the cliff, and said, "What you said is good, but it is not enough, this is too close, if you want to sit on the throne, you have to see farther and deeper." ”
Yelu Langya thought about it for a while and said, "Earlier, Pingnan sent me a message saying that the assassins had fled to Yongzhou, and Helian Muxia had also died in Yongzhou, thinking that someone was trying to frame Longmen. Before contacting, Jizhou Lirenjie hit the king of horses hard, and led us to the support of the horse city, and the city of Yongzhou was broken ten years ago. ”
Yelu Yucai just looked at the side face of his son, he didn't see it less before, but now he can't see more, and he won't see it anymore after today, so it's good to take a few more looks.
For this son, the wolf king was a little satisfied.
In fact, he is very satisfied, very satisfied, how can there be parents who don't look forward to their son's goodness?
So Yelu Xucai continued to guide and persuade him step by step: "Those who achieve great things must dare to think and dare to do, so we can see further." ”
Yelu Langya couldn't find a clue for a while, and said, "My son is ignorant, Daddy told me what to do." ”
Yelu Xucai stretched out his big hand and rubbed the back of his head, and said with a smile: "If you don't understand, find a way to understand, instead of pretending to understand, this is also very good, to be royal, you can't just rely on majesty, otherwise you will be stubborn and self-serving, and there will be a lot of other things, you will understand it slowly after pondering it yourself, Daddy doesn't have much time, let's continue the topic just now, I also figured out the truth in the past few days." ”
"Daming Kyushu Earth Spirit Master, this is far from comparable to our Wolf Courtyard Grassland, let's just talk about the situation in the past fifty years, Kyushu has a large number of talents, and every once in a while there will be a genius in the real sense, and it is the kind of genius who is proud of Kyushu, one person is enough to be comparable to a country. Forty years ago, the sword mound Yuanting was born, so that the juniors of the same era felt that the sky was above, so high that it could not be crossed, and then Yuanting died, not long after, Jizhou appeared another genius, his name in our grassland can be much louder than Yuanting, after many years, it still makes people palpitate. ”
Yelu Langya nodded and said: "I know, the white-clothed killing god Shi Jingtian, the only person on the land of Shenzhou who can make us millions of steppe wolves ride in fear, but it's a pity ......"
Yelu Xuancai sighed: "It's a pity, he also died, and he died with Yongzhou City, but you should know that in the next era, and in the next era, there will still be many talents in Shenzhou who will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, provoking the Kyushu beam, with them, it can only be a dream for the wolf to ride south, which is why we have been yearning to enter the Central Plains in this barren prairie for thousands of years but we can't get what we want." It was never the towering Jizhou Chengguan that blocked the wolf's ride, but those who held up the times...... Do you feel desperate when you hear this?"
Yelu Langya lowered her head and said softly, "Yes." ”
Yelu smiled and asked, "Then will you give up?"
Although Yelu Langya was discouraged, his eyes were very firm: "How can we give up? This is the dream of our ancestors for generations! Even if I can't stand it, I can't break this dream in my lifetime." ”
Yelu nodded with a smile and asked, "Then what should you do?"
Yelu Langya stood up, stared at the abyss in front of him, there was fire in his heart, there was light in his eyes, and he said with high morale: "Kyushu has always liked infighting, Mu Xiu will destroy it in the forest wind, there is a sword mound Yuan Pavilion in front of him, Shi Jingtian who kills the god, and there is a dragon Li Yu, as long as the Ming Emperor is still in one day, he will not let go of any existence that may grow up and threaten him." ”
"I can wait, Taoguang Yanghui secretly cultivates, I can transcend the four realms to reach the five realms, and then dominate the grassland, and then wait for the opportunity, wait for the real civil strife in Kyushu, and both sides will lose, so I will take advantage of the situation to go south, flatten the Ming Imperial City, and establish an imperial capital belonging to our wolf court in Xuzhou! Daddy, do you think this is possible?"
As he was talking, Yelu Langya's mood suddenly shattered, and at this moment, the breath around him was broken.
He really lost it forever, he really couldn't get it back, he knew where the pain came from, but he couldn't bear it at all, his heart hurt so much that he couldn't stand up straight, and he fell to his knees.
In fact, he understood that the tall man in the golden armor and fox fur burst into tears. Yelu Langya turned his head, and when he was at the height of his life, he saw an old man, Yelu Langya sitting beside him, and after his cultivation was exhausted, he became emaciated and gray-haired.
This man who has been king for half his life has passed away suddenly, and now he is just a father who dies with a smile.
If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for?
Yelu Langya's tears could no longer be suppressed, hugging his father tightly, without the dignity of the king, without the joy of the throne, he would rather exchange everything he has for the man in front of him to live, even if it is just to accompany him for one more day, just one more day.
Even the wind and snow still can't hide the man's crying, but you can imagine how hoarse and painful he is.
On the mountainside, Yelu Pingnan heard the cry and was eager to try, and said, "Father, the wolf king is dead, and now you are the highest cultivator in the wolf court, why don't you take the throne?"
The old priest was so angry that he slapped him with his backhand and vomited blood, and sneered: "It's really not a cover to say that you are stupid, do you think that the wolf king can't think of what we will do? He Yelu Xucai has warned me a long time ago, believe it or not, as long as I dare to move this idea, the will of the wolf god will immediately slap our father and son into a puddle of flesh? If I die early, don't blame me for killing you first. ”
Yelu Pingnan covered his chest and said in a low voice, "I know." ”
The old priest picked up his unsuccessful son, took him to the foot of the mountain, and confessed: "Pingnan is delusional, my king can kill at will, and he doesn't have to care what my old man thinks." ”
Yelu Langya took the light left in Yelu Xuancai's hand and turned into a pair of wolf king gold armor, which is the proof of ascending the throne and becoming king, and at the same time, he also mastered the words and deeds of all the clansmen under the entire wolf god mountain and Yelu ancestral land, and Yelu Pingnan's words just now were also known by him word for word.
Yelu Langya got up and said: "Uncle is serious, I have known him since I was a child, and I know that Pingnan has always been like this, how can I compare?"
The old priest grinned, the son of someone else's family is good, and the more he looks at his own family, the more unpleasant he becomes, he raised his foot and kicked at Yelu Pingnan, and said, "What are you doing with the pestle!
Yelu Pingnan bowed solemnly and said: "The grace of the wolf king to forgive." "Let's talk about squeezing my eyebrows with Yelu Langya, it's not serious.
Yelu Langya will have the heart to laugh, and said: "The Eagle King Wanyan Rongluo and my father have died, and the King of Horses is seriously injured and difficult to recover, now I am only afraid that the King of Bears will give up the revenge of killing his son and not revenge, and turn the spearhead to counterattack the various clans of the Wolf Court, intending to be the king, so we must send an army to the northern border of Yongzhou to suppress them to fight, the little nephew urgently needs to retreat, only my uncle in the Yelu clan can do it, and I hope that my uncle will go on my behalf." ”
The old priest nodded and said: "It's this Li'er, and the clansmen all know that the murderer has nothing to do with the sword mound, and he fled to Yongzhou, even if we know that it was designed by the national teacher, but they don't know that the surface work has to be done, so as not to chill the hearts of the old ministers and the hearts of the people of the grassland." ”
When the old priest said goodbye, Yelu Langya stepped forward and asked, "Uncle is not light, do you hurt?"
Yelu Pingnan patted his chest, coughed in pain, and said with a smile: "The old guy is precious to me, an only son, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, how can he be ruthless, unlike your brothers and sisters, who are chasing each other to death." ”
Yelu Langya sighed: "No way, they are not right-hearted, they all want to usurp the throne, Daddy can endure it, if it is too much, it should be killed without birth, and you can't watch the Yelu clan civil strife at this critical moment, and then the foundation laid by the ancestors can be said to be gone." ”
Yeluping said with a head in his head: "It is indeed not easier to be born in the emperor's family than ordinary people, cough cough ......"
Yelu Langya stroked Yelu Pingnan's back to smooth him, and said, "How can you test your father for the sake of the new master? Uncle must have seen that he was angry that you didn't bend your elbow out before he punched you. ”
Yelu Pingnan shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma, and they are equal in my heart, why do you favor you because we are friends." And this is also for his sake, the Wolf God Mountain is still there, how can he fight you if he really wants to usurp the throne? Besides, I really don't want the two of you to fight, and when the time comes, I will want to help no one and no one will be able to help, and as a result, I will not be a human being inside and out. ”
Yelu Langya didn't speak, and the movements of his hands didn't stop, since ancient times, emperors had no confidants, and it was not easy to have one.
True friends have to be cherished, and who's to say they aren't?
