Jiangnan, south of the Yangtze River.

Jiangnan is like a poem, throughout the ages, literati and ink writers sing endless changes in the world, the end of the world, the end of the smoke, all blood-stained style.

After hardships, prosperity, with the vicissitudes of life as a drink, the years are full of hunger, the world is changing, endless, countless heroes and heroes, in the Shenzhou continent set off a shocking prelude, crying ghosts and gods, a great war between man and demons, more ruthless than any disaster between heaven and earth, more tragic......

Jiankang City, the palace Taicheng, magnificent and majestic, the palace is lofty.

The snowflakes roared wildly, hitting their faces like pins and needles, cold and biting.

At the top of the palace, an old man over sixty years old stood here, his silver hair scattered by the wind, and his weather-beaten face was carved with wrinkles and ravines, flashing with fierce eyes......

The old man stretched out his fingers like withered branches, holding the Chixiao Sword across his neck, the cold light flickered, the edge was exposed, the fear and despair brought by failure shrouded the surroundings, the yellowed skin lined with the afterglow of the setting sun, he muttered to himself: "It's all over, it's destroyed, just say goodbye like this......"

After that, he wanted to swing his sword and kill himself.

A melodious bell rang out, stirring up a deep and grand echo between heaven and earth.

The old man was excited, the Chixiao Sword was slowly put down, looking at the southern suburbs of the capital, and his already desperate eyes rekindled a raging fire......

The southern suburbs are densely populated with flags.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites offered their respects to the Heaven and Earth Temple, Xiao Yan prayed in front of the tablets of the first emperor and the gods.

"The auspicious time has arrived. The eunuch shouted loudly, the bells and drums rang out in unison, and the civil and military officials were dressed in ceremonial robes, kneeling on both sides of the royal road.

Xiao Yan, less than fifty years old, wore a yellow gown, the robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, the sleeves were carried high by the wind, and a wide jade belt was tied around his waist, carrying the god-like majesty and innate nobility, exuding the aura of a mighty king.

He ascended the altar and prayed to heaven and earth: "Xiao Yan, the emperor's minister, sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, and announce to the emperor and the queen of heaven: the days of Qi have ended, and the mandate of heaven belongs to Xiao Yan." Heaven decrees that the Mandate of Heaven will not belong to one country forever, and the emperor will not belong to one family forever...... For the emperor, he should be blessed all over the world, spread all over the world, and make the country prosperous......

The minister Xiao Yan is weak in virtue, and now he rules the world, and he only wants to stay up to his original intention, and he is sincerely afraid to be a good emperor. Respectfully choose a good day and auspicious day, prepare a great gift to the heavens, raise the altar, and accept the Zen concession of the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. Declare to the heavens, for the well-being of all the people of the world, let me make the kingdom of Liang long and prosperous, and invite the gods of heaven and earth to enjoy the sacrifices. ”

"Rite over!"

At the end of the prayer, under Xiao Yan's broad thick eyebrows, a pair of shrewd, deep eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he slowly exhaled, he sat upright, looked around, and signaled the ceremony to begin.

The officials of Honglu Temple shouted and saluted, and the civil and military officials entered in turn, and bowed five times and kowtowed.

The palm seal eunuch held up the national seal, and pressed heavily on the canonization edict, and the official of Honglu Temple read out the edict with his hand: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, when the sky is good, it is hereby clearly ordered...... Today, there is an attendant Li Ji, who is dedicated to his best efforts, loyal to the world, and has meritorious assistance, and is deeply comforted by my heart, and is immediately canonized as the chief secretary and in charge of the world's documents, and I admire this!"

Among the hundred officials, a young official walked out, with a majestic and handsome appearance, with well-defined facial features, like a well-polished sculpture, dark and deep eyes, looking wild and unrestrained, evil and sexy, with a very beautiful figure, standing there, unable to say that he was floating out of the dust, as if he was a celestial man.

"Minister Li Ji leads the order, thank you Lord Longen!" Li Ji bowed his head and bowed.

"Li Aiqing, be flat!" Xiao Yan glanced at the young official, and his majestic eyes were instantly filled with kindness, kindness, and even a hint of pity.

At the end of the prayer ceremony, hundreds of officials congratulated Li Ji one after another, causing a commotion in the crowded square.

"Master Li's book is a martial arts strategy, the best in ancient and modern times, young and promising, really amazing!"

"Li Dawen is better than Zijian, he looks like Pan An, he is both talented and beautiful, he is really envious of others!"

"Yes, it's rare to be so bold and knowledgeable......"

"Congratulations......!

......

"I'm just doing everything I can to do what a courtier should do, and it's not a big deal!" Looking at the hundreds of officials coming to congratulate him, Li Ji couldn't help but be stunned, with a touch of embarrassment on the corners of his lips.

The cheers and compliments around him reached Li Ji's ears, piercing his heart like sharp thorns, making his breathing a little short.

Li Ji raised his head slowly, his dark eyes swept over the surrounding officials, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to become a little bitter: "Are these people so mean and snobbish? Do you forget that three years ago he was a natural waste material who was neglected, disdained, and ridiculed? Now, do they want to erase the past with unwilled applause and hypocritical compliments? In this world, changing faces is faster than changing the sky......

Smiled helplessly, and bowed to the officials, Li Ji returned to the palace with Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang.

At the gate of the palace, an attendant hurriedly walked up to Li Ji and whispered, "I heard that Xiao Luan escaped from Shang Fang Prison, what an evil old man!"

Li Ji stopped, his expression suddenly became solemn, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and his huge palm trembled slightly.

The attendant frowned, his face showed fear, and he carefully watched the change in Li Ji's expression, and slowed down his tone: "That terrifying crazy old man...... Will you come to take revenge on you, Lord Li?"

"Let all the guards in the attic of the other garden be removed!" Li Ji looked into the distance, his eyebrows tightly locked, and his dark eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible darkness.

"What?" Hearing this, the attendant was stunned, his face full of confusion......

When night fell, the highest place in the capital, the Beyuan attic, was deserted, and it was as silent as death.

Accompanied by the bright moonlight and pouring a glass of wine, Li Ji sat in the attic of the other garden, falling into infinite contemplation.

Raising the wine glass, he was just about to drink it all, when the tip of a cold sword reached his throat, cold to the bone.

Li Ji turned his head, and an old man with a hideous face and disheveled hair appeared behind him like a ghost, and a pair of evil eyes seemed to be about to erupt flames.

"It's been a long time. Li Ji stood up, didn't seem surprised, and raised his wine glass lightly: "Do you want to have a drink?"

The sword flashed, the wine glass shattered into powder, the old man's face was flushed, his muscles were exposed, and his eyes were wide with anger, as if a volcano was about to erupt, which made people shudder.

"Do you think I'm going to stop there? I'm the dignified Emperor Xiao Luan, I'm not dead, I founded this country single-handedly, and this is all my hard work for Daqi. Unexpectedly...... Snatched away by you kid. All the great deeds that I have worked hard for and sacrificed all my life have been taken away from you......" Xiao Luan's whole body trembled, his teeth were gritted, and his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.

"Because of your mediocrity and cruelty, rebellions are everywhere in the world, the people of Li are living in dire straits, and the country of Qi is crumbling and overturning in an instant, without you, the world will be more peaceful......" Li Ji looked directly at Xiao Luan and sighed in extreme disgust.

"What?"

"It's all ruined by you, on the surface under the banner of benevolence and governance, but secretly you are satisfying your own selfish desires, abandoning etiquette, colluding with demons, mutilating innocents, and ruining lives......"

"Shut up, what kind of saint and gentleman are you pretending, kill you with a sword, and it's over. Hurry up and beg me for mercy...... Hey...... I knew that I would have given your father a chance to live. At that time, if he begged me for mercy, maybe he wouldn't have died in my hands, hehe......" Xiao Luan sneered, his vicious eyes seemed to swallow everything in front of him, "He died all of a sudden, and there was dark red blood spraying on his chest......"

Hearing this, Li Ji's face changed suddenly, his clenched fists were too hard, his nails pierced deep into his palms, and his sleeve robe made a loud crackling sound. His arm shook violently, and in an instant, the spiritual power of heaven and earth immediately surged up wildly, and an incomparably terrifying cyan light wave swept out like a volcanic eruption.

Feeling a powerful spiritual power oppressing, the old man's face changed suddenly, his smile sank completely, he sensed that something was wrong, and quickly retreated under his feet, trying to dodge, but unfortunately, it was still a step too late.

I only heard a click, the wind was blowing, Xiao Luan's eyes were dark, and the whole person flew out upside down like a broken kite, smashing to the ground, and the intense pain enveloped him in an instant, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"The moment your father died, you should have been a spectator. Kill me quickly, just stab the sword down and stick it in my chest, you can avenge your father's murder, kill me, hurry up and ......" The hysterical shouts continued to sound, Xiao Luan's face was extremely pale, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes still flashed with a vicious coldness.

The Chixia Sword was suspended in the air, and an astonishing wave of spiritual power spread quickly from the top of Li Ji's head, and more than a dozen red sword shadows condensed by spiritual energy immediately appeared.

Xiao Luan's eyes swept several red sword rays, reaching his chest, sharp as lightning, and his breathing became a little rapid: "You kid can't kill me, because you don't have the courage." It's not an errand that anyone can do well. ”

As he spoke, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, sneered at Li Ji, and slowly stood up.

"Hehe, if you hate me, kill me quickly, don't you want revenge?" Quick, hurry up and ......" Xiao Luan stared at Li Ji and shouted hoarsely.

At the moment of the lightning and stone fire, a long shout from Shen Xiong, carrying earth-shattering anger, drew an elegant arc, the momentum was strong, the sword qi was within reach, and the mountains and rocks collapsed.

The vermilion wooden window behind Xiao Luan turned into powder in an instant, and a strong north wind whistled along the window.

"Do you want your filthy blood to defile my hands, and if that's your wish, jump from here!"

"Why?"

"Since you've given everything for this land, there's no better way to make it your grave. ”

Taking advantage of Li Ji's intersperse, Xiao Luan's fierce light was revealed, and he jumped up, his body was like a tiger, and a surging force rushed out of his body, not hesitating to use the last trace of cultivation to make a desperate bet.

Li Ji's rich spiritual power surrounded his body, the blue light penetrated the night, his fingers flicked, and the light shone brightly, Xiao Luan screamed, and the whole person flew out in the air and fell to the ground.

"Remember me, the land will never forget the ugly crimes you have committed. Looking at the crazy Xiao Luan unwilling to fail, like a trapped beast, in the last dying struggle, Li Ji's shoulders shrugged slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly provoked a faint sneer.

"You...... What are you!" The messy silver hair swayed in the wind, and Xiao Luan's evil eyes were filled with fear and despair.

Li Ji faced the wind, his clothes were hunting, he looked out of the window, the lights outside the palace were brilliant, and the streets were ten miles away, a peaceful and prosperous scene.

In a person's life, he always can't get rid of the memories, turning the desolate title page, the past is vivid, and countless pictures flashed in that moment......
