Chapter 556: Witnessing an Era

Facing the old man's gaze, Gu Hengsheng felt a little uncomfortable.

It can be said that this is the first Dao realm powerhouse that Gu Hengsheng has faced in the true sense of the past and present lives, even if he has no Dao heart, it is difficult for him to maintain a calm attitude.

"Emperor Taishang, you're joking, I'm just a little lucky."

Gu Hengsheng bent down slightly and chuckled.

"Whether it's chance or luck, it's your own strength." The old man shook his head disapprovingly, as if he had thought of something, and said in a low voice: "I have lived for more than 4,000 years, and I have seen his rise with my own eyes, and I have watched him sweep through the Eight Desolations, suppress Zhongzhou, and ascend to the throne. ”

He, ascending to the throne?

Gu Hengsheng reacted immediately and knew who the "he" in the old man's mouth was.

In the whole world, there is only one emperor of Nangong.

"Back then, he rose from Beizhou with the cultivation of the Tianxuan Realm, fought the heroes, cut the sky, and went through life and death several times, whenever countless people thought that he had fallen, he was able to survive the adversity, and finally grew to the point where the world did not even have the qualifications to look up."

The old man's face was yearning and reverence, he was a person who watched the rise of the emperor with his own eyes, and he deeply understood what the emperor experienced when he was able to ascend the throne: "Luck, chance, cause and effect, the emperor alone has carried countless things, these are all indispensable things for him to kill the blood." ”

"So what! You must not say that you just have some good luck, this is your cause and effect and chance, it is your strength. ”

As the old man spoke, he looked at Gu Hengsheng with a peaceful expression: "Some things are already destined in the dark, maybe it's your cause and effect, maybe it's your calamity." However, no matter what lies ahead, you have to believe in yourself, you know? ”

Listening to the old man's teachings, Gu Hengsheng benefited a lot, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the teachings of the Emperor Taishang, the younger generation knows." ”

"You have now become the former prince of my former Su Dynasty, and your power and position are extremely noble, but you also shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing and protecting my dynasty."

The old man slowly stood up from the round bench, took a few steps closer to the blue water and green pool, and muttered: "I don't have long to live, the rise and fall of the future dynasty can only depend on yours." ”

For some reason, when Gu Hengsheng heard the old man's words, his heart was slightly sour.

Looking at the old man's rickety back, Gu Hengsheng seemed to see the picture of an emperor who was swallowing thousands of miles of rivers and mountains coming to a decline, and his throat couldn't help but tighten.

"My life should stop here. However, I have also witnessed the rise of a great emperor, and I have seen the beauty of the world, which is worth it. ”

The old man laughed self-deprecatingly and sighed: "It's a pity that I can only be regarded as a witness and onlooker after all, and I can't give up everything behind me and sing in the world." ”

Singing in the world, this sentence carries the will of the old man, and also reflects the arrogance and self-confidence of the old man.

Perhaps, a long, long time ago, the old man had to withdraw from the ranks of the rivalry for some reason and became a nameless witness.

How strong the old man's strength is, Gu Hengsheng doesn't know. However, the existence that has been able to live for more than 4,000 years is not a simple character.

"The Emperor, the past is like smoke and scattered with the wind, and it is useless to worry about it."

Gu Hengsheng slowly walked to the old man's side and whispered.

The old man smiled kindly: "Yes! It's useless to look back, my life should be over. ”

"Emperor Tai, you are too arbitrary, maybe your cultivation can go further, these things are unknown." Gu Hengsheng wanted to soothe the lamentation and sorrow of the old man in front of him.

"What you think is too simple, nine steps in the Dao realm, one step at a time, and the hardships and dangers in it cannot be described."

The old man didn't take it seriously and said softly.

"Emperor Taishang, Dao Realm...... What kind of realm is it? How do you touch it? Gu Hengsheng couldn't help but ask questions after all. This question has plagued Gu Hengsheng's past and present lives, and there has never been an answer.

"You kid don't be too ambitious, when you reach the Tianxuan Realm, come and ask me again!" The old man patted Gu Hengsheng's head lightly and admonished in the tone of an elder.

"Yes, the Emperor." Gu Hengsheng had no choice but to bury his doubts in his heart again and nodded respectfully.

"Since you are the former prince of my former Su Dynasty, then if there is anything that cannot be solved in the future, you can come to me."

The old man walked towards a pile of unchopped firewood and said hoarsely, "Although I have half a foot in the coffin, I can still live for decades." If something happens to you in the future, as long as I have a breath of air, even if the sky falls, I will help you bear it, you know? ”

Hearing this, Gu Hengsheng looked directly at the old man's staggering figure and was stunned.

Even if the sky falls, I will help you carry it.

Just a simple sentence made Gu Hengsheng's heart shake.

In his previous life, Gu Hengsheng reached the peak of the Tianxuan Realm alone, helpless. In this life, he felt a trace of warmth, and with the protection of the Gu family, he was able to grow up peacefully to the day of the weak crown, which made Gu Hengsheng feel the warmth of someone for the first time.

However, the Gu family is insignificant in this world. Therefore, Gu Hengsheng needs to be trembling and groping again, he can't fail, failure means death, no one will help him bear it, he can only bear the results by himself.

And now, the old man's words continued to surround Gu Hengsheng's ears, and wisps of warm current silently drilled into the depths of Gu Hengsheng's heart.

"Junior, got it."

Gu Hengsheng's throat rolled, and he really bowed to the Emperor Taishang from the bottom of his heart.

The Emperor waved his hand lightly and said weakly: "Okay, you go!" In the future, if you have time, you can always come over and have a drink or two with me, a bad old man, and talk to me. ”

"The younger generation remembers, thank you for the teachings and guidance of the Emperor."

Gu Hengsheng was overjoyed in his heart, and a trace of gratitude appeared in his eyes. The meaning of Emperor Taishang's words is obvious, as long as Gu Hengsheng has any problems with his cultivation in the future, he can come over at any time to ask for advice.

"Go ahead! I'm going to have to hurry up and chop wood, or I won't even have any firewood for dinner when it's dark. ”

The old man nodded, picked up the axe from the ground again, and prepared to chop firewood.

"The juniors are retiring."

Gu Hengsheng bowed, slowly turned around, and walked straight towards the outside of the peach forest.

Perhaps, from this moment on, Gu Hengsheng really accepted the fact that he was the former Duke of the Kingdom and regarded himself as a member of the former Su Dynasty.
