Xiao Yan, who was lying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly, looked at the old eunuch who was serving him on the side, smiled meaningfully, raised his chin slightly, and nodded in the direction of the door of the imperial study.

Gao Zhan comprehended, let go of his hands on Gao Zhan's shoulders, walked to the door, and said to the two little eunuchs who were waiting outside the door: "You two go to the distance to serve first, and I will announce you if there is something." At the same time, pass the word to others, without His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to trespass around the imperial study, and the violators will be held accountable, is it clear?"

"Obey the words of Grandpa Gao. The two little eunuchs took a few steps back, and then turned around and walked into the distance, Gao Zhan saw the figures of the two little eunuchs disappear, and then slowly took a slightly eager step back behind Xiao Yan.

"Come, help me press my head, lately, my head hurts so much. Xiao Yan saw Gao Zhan coming back, so he closed his eyes again, raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and said in a tired voice.

"Okay, the old slave is coming. ”

When Gao Zhan's gentle fingertips slowly stroked his temples with strength, Xiao Yan let out a long breath of comfort, as if talking to himself: "When I was a child, I also heard a lot of mythological stories, and I still wanted to believe in the existence of those immortals, and I always wondered if there were immortals in the mountain.

When I grew up, I read a lot of books and made a lot of interesting friends, such as Shen Yue, Xie Wei, and Fan Yun, etc., at that time, I was also talented, and was known as the Eight Friends of Jingling by the world.

When we were together at that time, we discussed whether there were gods or not in this world, some people said there were, some people said they didn't, and there were endless debates.

And guess what we came to in the end?"

"Your Majesty is talented, where can the old slave guess. Gao Zhan's hand didn't stop, but just changed to the top of Xiao Yan's head, using his fingers to do acupressure, and answered Xiao Yan's words with a smile.

Xiao Yan didn't care about Gao Zhan's slightly flattering words, and still said as if talking to himself: "After a long time of arguing, several of us all thought that there were immortals in ancient times, and then those immortals didn't know where they went, so we couldn't find them.

Those ancient scholars were very close to the era of immortals, so in the Spring and Autumn Period, a hundred flowers contended, and there were saints in large numbers, because the immortals they found were different.

In other words, we don't think that there are gods in this world now. Now that I am old and have become emperors, I know that those immortals have never left, and this world is not as simple as we see. ”

"Your Majesty, do you mean that there are still immortals on this land, and those immortals are the real masters of this land?" Gao Zhan was shocked when he heard this, so he no longer pretended to be confused, and directly said what he thought in his heart.

Xiao Yan was not touched by Gao Zhan's words, and said with a smile: "Yes and no." The masters of this land are still us, but not us, the people in power.

That day, under my questioning, Zhuo Rufeng finally confessed some truths to me. The reason why his Divine Soldier Gate can become stronger and stronger in this troubled world and become bigger and bigger is not because of how amazing the Mo family's mechanical skills and weapon manufacturing capabilities are, but because some people don't want them to perish, and want the Divine Soldier Gate to be the eyes of this world and help them observe the changes in this world. ”

"Who are they?" Gao Zhan's hands trembled slightly, and then he stabilized his mind with great concentration, and said in a very uncertain tone: "Are they those immortals?"

"They are, so to speak, the immortals. It stands to reason that the immortals should be high up and will not easily meddle in the mortal world, but there are so many so-called immortals who are still not at ease with this land and secretly control all this. Xiao Yan said a little unwillingly.

"But when the old slave was serving the previous dynasty, he hadn't heard of the existence of the immortals, and just based on the words of the master of the Divine Soldier Sect, these legends can't be believed, right?"

"Listening to Zhuo Rufeng's meaning, those immortals can't appear at any time, as if there are some strange and powerful forces restricting them, and they can only convey some information to their mortal eyes every once in a while.

In the period of the previous dynasty, maybe it was when those immortals were restricted, or it was possible that those immortals didn't look down on the group of waste emperors of the previous dynasty at all, and disdained to let them know about the existence of the immortals.

Nowadays, my Liang is more prosperous and powerful than ever, so they sent Zhuo Rufeng to express some intentions to me, and let my Liang be their other pair of eyes. ”

When Gao Zhan heard this, the doubts in his heart were still not completely lifted, and he continued to ask: "Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for talking too much, since those immortals can't appear in person, it is difficult to shake Your Majesty's prosperity with just the Divine Soldier Gate, then Your Majesty doesn't have to be at their mercy." ”

"I thought so at the time, but later, do you know what Zhuo Rufeng said?

Zhuo Rufeng told me that he had also resisted, but when he saw my eldest princess appear, he had no desire to resist. ”

"What's the matter with the eldest princess here? Could it be that the eldest princess has had contact with those immortals?" Gao Zhan was no longer calm this time, his hands trembled terribly, if the eldest princess had contact with those immortals, then it was very likely that she would become an immortal in the future, so he was the one who had seen the immortals, how could he not be excited.

"If the water has contact with those immortals, I don't know. But later I asked Ruoshui about the immortals, and she didn't say much, just hinted that I was in the middle of the Qinling Mountains, on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, and mortals could not pass through, it was for Zhongnan. What do you mean by that?"

"The old slave thought that the eldest princess was telling His Majesty that there was an irreversible existence on the top of Zhongnan Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, but it was inconvenient for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to explain it directly.

The eldest princess should have had a strange chance in Zhongnan Mountain, otherwise why would she be famous in China in just three years, and even the barbarians in the north would not dare to offend easily.

No matter how talented the eldest princess is, the old slave thinks that this is something that cannot be done by manpower, and now that I think about it, what the eldest princess pursues may be the way to become an immortal. Gao Zhan said calmly.

"I think so, too. Zhuo Rufeng said that since he saw my eldest princess famous in China, he believed in some things, that is, those immortals had some mysterious power hidden in this land, and they could subvert the whole world at any time.

According to the report of his Divine Soldier Gate, after the eldest princess went to Zhongnan Mountain, she did not practice in the Zhongnan Sword Sect, but was secretly sent to those mysterious forces by the Zhongnan Sword Sect, so she had this achievement. Xiao Yan opened his eyes at this time, glanced at Gao Zhan, and then closed his eyes again, probably not wanting this old eunuch who had just let him trust see something.

Gao Zhan didn't seem to see Xiao Yan looking at him, his hands kneaded for Xiao Yan didn't stop for a moment, and he continued to ask very interestingly: "Then what kind of existence is the Zhongnan Sword Sect?" According to the information of the old slave for so many years, the Zhongnan Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sword Sect are just two transcendent and indisputable two martial arts sects. Now listening to His Majesty say this, it seems that it is not so simple. ”

After Xiao Yan heard Gao Zhan's words, he said calmly: "It's that simple, after Zhuo Rufeng and I talked about the eldest princess, I found someone to check the Zhongnan Sword Sect, but I didn't find anything, it was just a simple martial arts sect."

However, this is the most terrifying, God knows how many such simple martial arts sects have that mysterious force behind them.

The Divine Soldier Sect is still like this, I don't have to think about it anymore in other sects, they must all be puppet-like existences, I am waiting for them to find me when they will find me, this feeling of sitting still, I really don't like it, it's really uncomfortable!"

Gao Zhan's hands trembled slightly, and then the old face piled up a peaceful smile and said: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the reason why those immortals only control the Jianghu sect and have not come to harass Your Majesty for a long time is because they are restricted by that mysterious power and are not allowed to interfere with the fortunes of the country and the change of dynasty?"

Xiao Yan's eyelids moved, but he didn't open them upward, and after thinking slightly, he said calmly: "Impossible, the King Wu of Zhou recorded in the history books has already been infested by immortals.

The first emperor ruled the world, and he died in the sand dunes at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and I heard that it was also because of those immortals, dissatisfied with the first emperor, who thought that he had surpassed the three emperors and five emperors and was punished by heaven.

Besides, they had already found my eldest princess, and later I sent the little princess to Kunlun Mountain, but the little princess did not have any unusual pursuits. ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't quite understand that the eldest princess became famous in China after practicing in Zhongnan Mountain, so isn't it a little inappropriate for Your Majesty to send the little princess to Kunlun Mountain?" Gao Zhan asked.

"Of course I have it in mind. Do you know where those immortals are most likely to hide, and then overlook the land of Kyushu?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Zhongnan Mountain is one, and then His Majesty mentioned Kunlun Mountain, so if you want to come to Kunlun Mountain, it is also one. Also, today, the old slave heard the eldest princess talk about Wanlian Lake, the Purple Gold Water Pavilion, and if you want to come there, it should be counted as a place, right?" Gao Zhan replied after thinking about it.

"You old thing, I see you confused on weekdays, it seems that you know better than anyone else, in the future, in front of me, you can say anything, don't hide it anymore. ”

Xiao Yan heard Gao Zhan's analysis, slowly opened his eyes, then sat up, signaled that Gao Zhan didn't need to massage him, looked at Gao Zhan with a smile on his face that was now calm, and said, "Go and get the four treasures of my study." ”

Xiao Yan watched Gao Zhan walk towards the bookshelf, sat on the couch and said, "After Zhuo Rufeng and I discussed, we secretly made an agreement that if there is a chance, we must get rid of the control of those so-called immortals.

If you want to get rid of the fate of being a puppet, then you must first know where those who carry the thread of your fate are, so I secretly arranged a large number of people with him to inquire where those immortals might be hiding, that is, the folklore workshop that I asked you to secretly arrange, after several years of inquiry, after a long time of deliberation, I finally have some eyebrows. ”

At this time, Gao Zhan had already spread out the rice paper for Xiao Yan, polished the inkstone inkstone, moistened the pen, and stood aside very interestingly.
