208. The unicorn statue, the wind and snow say goodbye, go to the court, never return
Xia Ji took the head of the Snow Lady and turned back from the Dragon Qi Secret Realm, and he had no point in staying any longer.
The poisonous unicorn turned into a golden unicorn and took over the position of Snow Niangniang, and it had just come into contact with the dragon qi and seemed to be in a state of deep sleep.
How long do you sleep?
I don't know.
Maybe decades, but also hundreds of years, it can be expected that if there is no accident, it will always lie on the golden statue of the unicorn in that temple.
The space spread like ripples of water and converged.
The regent, dressed in the clothes of a villager, has appeared behind a golden statue.
The body is shining with golden light, but it is very different from before.
The pilgrims who came to pray for blessings and vows in the temple were dumbfounded and at a loss.
Incense curls up, and golden statues crawl in the smoke of tranquility.
It's just that the appearance of the golden statue is no longer the original six-armed snow lady, but a golden unicorn with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Where is Snow Niangniang?"
"It's... What's going on? How did this monster beast come about?"
"Come on, come and see what's going on with this look! Smash this look, or the mother will be angry!"
The sound is noisy.
Xia Ji frowned, this group of people was a little confused.
That Snow Lady is just a spider who has become a demon through the dragon's energy, but she was worshiped by this group of people, and now what he gave is a real holy beast, but it was slandered.
Although they don't know it.
But Xia Ji still felt a little ironic.
He was ready to punish.
But before he could do it, the whole temple suddenly became a snowstorm.
Futons and scriptures flew up, and the stored candles also rolled down.
The pilgrims hurriedly took refuge.
And after a while, it calmed down, but it was shocked again.
A unicorn remnant slowly walked out of the golden statue, and everywhere it went, the golden light shone brightly, making people feel awe.
The unicorn circled, then turned back to the golden statue and disappeared.
Those who cursed suddenly began to tremble, and then a cold cold grew out of their bodies, and even their skin was covered with a layer of hoarfrost.
The unicorn manifests!
The voice of the insult gradually became quieter.
And quite a few knelt down again.
Xia Ji felt a connection from there, and he suddenly understood one thing: that little unicorn was different from the past, and it had become a little god who needed to worship and incense.
Manifestations, punishments, these things, it can do on its own, and it does not need to pretend to be its own power at all.
"But I'm worried in vain. ”
The Lord Regent stepped out from behind the idol, and he was extremely fast.
He walked past the pilgrims and monks, and no one could notice his presence.
At most, I felt a wind blowing.
He is now of extraordinary strength, and he is no longer from the same world as these civilians.
If he didn't want to show up, no one would be able to spot him.
Out of the temple, his body was like a gray afterimage, and he swept out of Wangxiang Mountain.
One step out, you will arrive outside Guling Town.
The black carriage, the nightmarish giant horse, snorted in the shadows, and without the need for a rein, the horse pulled a coffin-like carriage to a standstill and waited.
Grunt...
The Snow Maiden's head was thrown in front of the carriage and rolled twice in the snow.
Here's what the deal is about.
A cloud of black smoke floated out.
The butler in the cigarette kicked his head with his foot, and then apparently showed some shock.
It's just that there seems to be some kind of peculiar advance foreknowledge in this shock, so there is no gaffe.
Although I don't understand how this man did it...
But the executioner had apparently recognized the existence of this one.
He looked up in the direction of Wangxiang Mountain, as if sensing something.
Although Xia Ji destroyed the Snow Lady, he also made a golden unicorn to sit in the secret realm, in essence, this dragon qi has not been destroyed, although the transaction is completed, but this may not be the situation that the underworld wants to see.
But the executioner did not speak, and stood still in the black smoke for a long time, as if he was communicating with something unknown.
Then came a suppressed violent voice:
"Mentor, you're doing a good job, then there's nothing else going on here, so I'll take my leave...
If you don't want to, then we won't force you. Just to tell you, the third position of the ten karma of this drunken capital, as well as the vacancy of my partner, will always be reserved for you.
The intrigue of the yang world may not be worth your attention, come back when you are tired, and the door of the capital will always be open for you. ”
The executioner paused, and his voice suddenly became a little solemn, "That one let me tell you that the residence permit of the New World has been given to you a long time ago, and in the future... There's always a place for you. ”
Xia Ji knew who he was talking about, but he didn't know the name of the little girl in the black egg, so he asked, "Is it?"
The executioner paused and hesitated, "Unspeakable." ”
Xia Ji frowned, not ready to continue the topic, and asked instead, "What about Xiao Ning?"
The executioner chuckled and stepped out of the way.
The snow weighed on the branches, a few thuds, and the crisp sound of cold branches breaking.
A human head came out of the window of the black coffin car.
A pile of snow fell from the top branch and happened to land on one of her green silks.
The girl said "ouch", held her head in her hands, hurriedly dusted off the snow, and then looked at the young man outside the car, waving her hands:
"Hey, Xia Ji Xia Ji, I'm here!"
The regent was stunned, because Xiao Luding was shouting "Xia Ji", not "Gong Jiu".
"Fool, I already knew you were Xia Ji!" Xiao Lu Ding held his cheeks, held his hands into a blooming flower, and quietly looked at the young man outside the car, with a happy look in his eyes.
You've always thought I'm stupid, and today shocked you, right?
Xia Ji smiled speechlessly, and through the silver snow mist blown by the north wind, he raised his voice and said, "Hey, get out of the car and go back." ”
Ning Meng really wanted to run like this...
But she remembered Xiao Yuanwu, that woman gave her a "feeling that she couldn't fight even if she tried her best", and that woman seemed to see everything, which made her feel frustrated like never before.
The executioner's words echoed in her mind.
"You're such a blessed girl to be able to connect with your mentor and the clown... But if you don't make changes, you will eventually be left behind, and you won't even be able to see their backs, and from then on, you will be like a stranger.
If you don't stay strong, you'll never see them again. ”
Gong Jiu or something, she can only hehe.
It's just Xia Ji... She didn't want to lose, she didn't want to be a stranger.
So...
As if she had made a big decision, the girl in red said "hey" again, "Xia Ji, I won't go back with you, help me and my mother-in-law too." ”
Xia Ji frowned: "Where are you going?"
"I... I want you to know where I go. ”
Ning Mengzhen wanted to say, "She wants to be stronger, she wants to see the back of the young man", but when it came to her mouth, it became like this.
As long as...
As long as you say to stay, as long as you say "I'll take care of you", I may be able to give up.
Maybe I'll cry, rush out of the carriage, and...
Well, then what to do?
The regent looked at her quietly, and Ning Mengzhen also bit her lip, her eyes like autumn water.
Xia Ji asked, "Have you really decided?"
Ning Meng really wanted to say, "No, as long as you say that you like me, I won't decide", but the words became "decided!"
Xia Ji looked sideways at the cloud of black smoke, and the meaning of the inquiry was very clear.
If it were someone else, the executioner might not explain it at all.
Want to explain?
Come on, let you see Lao Tzu's two big knives.
But in the face of the mentor, the executioner still spoke: "I accepted Xiao Ning as an apprentice, and I only have one apprentice." When I go to Xudu, I will pass on to her what I have learned all my life. ”
Xia Ji showed a strange look again.
How did these two people get together?
It feels like a fierce and furious wolf king leading a husky and vowing "I want to train it to be the next generation of wolf kings".
What kind of painting style is this?
Xia Ji turned his head, looked at the "husky who wants to be the wolf king", and said, "It's very bitter." ”
Ning Meng really wanted to say, "I'm so scared, I'm so cowardly, you take me away, you pull me away, I definitely won't refuse, and I can't refuse", but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know why: "I... I am not afraid of hardship. ”
After thinking about it, he added: "I carry a bag for you, and it is not bitter for you to get up in the middle of the night to cook, what am I afraid of?"
Xia Ji looked at her with a smile.
Xiao Luding felt that he needed to be brave, and he had already reached this point...
Her heart was pounding wildly, and her small, charming, somewhat seductive face showed three points of arc that seemed to be firm but could collapse at any time.
Once again, she was duplicitous: "I can take care of myself!"
But what I thought in my heart was "As long as you say you can take care of me, then I don't want to work hard in my life, and it's good to live for a hundred years."
But Xia Ji didn't say anything.
Instead, he turned his head, looked at the executioner in the black smoke, and asked, "Is it your decision to take her as an apprentice, or is it the one's." ”
The executioner was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
He understood what the guru meant.
If it is the meaning of that one, then it is very likely that there is a meaning of "taking Xiao Ning as a hostage".
Can... Not really.
He licked his lips: "If I don't take in the apprentices, no one can force them." ”
"Then Xiao Ning, please you. ”
"She's my apprentice. ”
A simple two-sentence dialogue.
Sent away a pitch-black carriage.
The body is leaking.
The snow suddenly began again, it was the end of winter, and the car had reached the end of sight.
Xia Ji turned around and stood in the wind and snow.
Behind him, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and the girl in red looked back again...
She didn't know what she wanted to see, maybe it was a retention, maybe it was the same thoughtful turn.
However, there was nothing else in sight except for the wind and snow, except for the cold and ruthless vastness of the world.
The executioner held his two knives in the black smoke, and suddenly said hoarsely: "Xiao Ning, the distance between people is not in space, but in strength. When power is near, how can people be far away, do you understand?"
Xiao Lu Ding didn't understand, but since she had taken on the wish of this "inheritance and killing", no matter how stupid she was, she would not expose her sand sculpture side.
So...
Calm down with a little groaning.
I suddenly felt so panicked.
What should I do?
...
After Xia Ji returned to the palace, the eunuchs and palace maids were shocked.
I have never seen such a willful regent, who disappears when he says that he will disappear, so how can he go to court?
It was another busy time, combing the hair of this prince, putting on the python robe of the Nine Python Swallowing Sun, and then going to court.
Upwards...
The officials didn't say anything, and they had a tacit understanding with each other.
Just one thing of advice, it is basically "the regent should go to court well, go up every day, and not be late."
Xia Ji threw up his sleeves and left...
If you want to go up, will you be coerced to go to court?
The hundred officials were shocked, and shouted behind them, "Lord Wang, you are the regent..."
There have always been only officials who don't go to court in the name of illness, this special prince is so awesome, he doesn't even find a reason, he can't say it...
"Da Wei is dying. An old minister knelt and looked up at the snowy sky.
Another official patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "The efficiency of the prince is dozens of times higher than that of the previous king, so even if he does not come to the court for more than ten days, it is more effective than the reign of the previous king... We can't die in Wei. ”
Thinking about it carefully, Lao Chen seems to be too.
It's just that his expression is worried again.
This regent used to be the son of the Holy Gate, he was reckless and wild in the rivers and lakes, and his sudden disappearance must be another strife and killing on the rivers and lakes.
Thinking of this, the old minister ran out worriedly, chased after the regent and shouted: "Lord, prince, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall! You are now the regent, you are no longer a person in the rivers and lakes, for the country and the people, don't go to the rivers and lakes!"
If you want to travel, you should list 3,000 elite soldiers and 300 guards to escort you when you travel, which is in line with etiquette!"
I have to praise that the literati are like sparks.
If one side is burned, the rest must also be burned, otherwise it will not be seen.
So there was a minister kneeling in the snow and kowtowing violently, with a posture of admonishing with death.
"The rivers and lakes are dangerous, the prince can't be in danger!"
Xia Ji couldn't help but be angry and funny when he heard the ministers behind him persuading his ministers one after another.
Damn.
Who is more dangerous than me in the Great Wei River and Lake now?
Traveling with 3,000 elite soldiers and 300 guards, will they protect me, or will I protect them?
But this group of courtiers also cared about him.
So, the regent turned his head and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, don't kneel, go to court." ”
Several old ministers said: "If the prince doesn't agree to us, we will kneel to death." ”
Xia Ji picked his fingers...
A gentle wind led a few kneeling ministers to their feet.
Several people were startled and hurriedly knelt down.
But there was such a force that they couldn't kneel at all.
These people looked at each other, and then looked at the regent, all of them looked like they were looking at the immortals.
Only then did they know that this prince had such magical powers.
This ability, I'm afraid it's close to the realm of the legendary Tongxuan Immortal, right?
Oops, that's amazing.
It's terrifying!
It's almost half a step through.
The regent is awesome!
Don't worry anymore.
Well, don't worry.
The ministers happily went to court.
A moment ago, he was still fighting with the gods who were worshiped with incense and nourished by dragon qi in the secret realm of dragon qi, and at this time he was sitting on the dragon chair again, listening to the hundreds of officials report on various people's livelihood, military and political affairs, and financial matters.
It's an amazing feeling.
Fortunately, I have a step to shrink into inches, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to catch up.
After the last dynasty, I harvested a bunch of "after-school homework", no, it's a twist.
Xia Ji asked the eunuch to take back the imperial study, but he had no intention of returning immediately.
Walking around, watching.
The Huaqing Palace was empty.
Although he had already sensed it, Xia Ji couldn't help but pull a palace maid and asked, "Is Miss Xiao back?"
The palace maid was full of happiness when she saw the regent asking, and then hurriedly replied: "During the time when the prince was away, Miss Xiao never returned. ”
Xia Ji nodded, "Let's go down." ”
The palace maid's back faded away.
Xia Ji saw that it was still early, and when he stepped out, he came to the Divine Capture Hall.
In the hall, the ram Xiaohua did not come back.
Xia Ji closed his eyes and sensed the "positioning of life and death", and immediately knew where Xiaohua was, and when he took a few steps, his body was thousands of miles away.
On the slopes, a horse-drawn carriage is galloping.
The wheels took off with snow.
A young man driving a car was wearing a fast suit, his eyes were extremely attentive, staring into the distance like an eagle, and he was carrying a long sword behind his back, looking heroic and cool, showing that he was a young man in the rivers and lakes.
Inside the car, the ram Xiaohua is napping.
Suddenly, a gust of wind struck.
The curtain is lifted.
The young man turned his head sharply, but found nothing.
It's just that Xia Ji has already gotten into the carriage and patted this worry-free gentleman on the shoulder.
Ram Xiaohua was shocked, his eyes opened, and a short gun was about to be thrown out of his sleeve, and the gun was more than halfway out, and when he saw the comer, he hurriedly withdrew it.
"Lord Wang. ”
Ram Xiaohua smiled bitterly, "You're too elusive." ”
Xia Ji didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "Protect yourself with Xuan Qi." ”
"What?"
Xia Ji reached out and grabbed him behind his back.
"No, no, wait, wait... Ahhh
A little after a while.
Fengyang Mansion.
Mr. Sanssouci knelt on the ground and vomited wildly.
