Chapter 216: Evolution

Hearing such a conversation, a group of people retreated with great interest. Whatever the soothsayer's wishes are, this is not a secret that everyone can hear. As for whether His Majesty the Tang Emperor can do it? Definitely. As long as the requirements made by the diviner are not too excessive, His Majesty the Tang Emperor, who has the power of immortals, will definitely be able to do it.

Think about it.

Even if the soothsayer was transcendent, it was impossible for her to dare to make it difficult for the emperor of the Shui Hua Kingdom.

The crowd withdrew.

Jin Yiwei also withdrew from the door, leaving the two to talk.

At this time, the soothsayer slowly spoke: "His Majesty the Tang Emperor swears to help the people's daughter realize her wish, and the people's daughter is grateful. But isn't Your Majesty afraid that the whims of the people will make some impossible demands? For example, please let the people see again? ”

Tang Shidao said lightly: "Are you sure, you just want to restore the vision of both eyes?" ”

The diviner also said calmly: "No, the folk girl just said, it sounds like it is not difficult for Your Majesty to do it?" ”

"Well, it's not difficult."

"The maiden fully understands that the 'reward' that His Majesty needs to pay is not such a thing. Since it is the wish of the people's daughter, it must be something that the people's daughter really wants to achieve, not just to ask for some benefits. Your Majesty thinks that the wish of the people is like a lock, and if it is not unlocked, the people will not be able to obtain that kind of power? ”

"Yes. It is said that it is a wish, but it is more like a dream. It's not real, it's your 'most desirable' fantasy. For example, someone wants to grow wings and fly into the sky. This is completely unreasonable, but it is the most genuine wish. ”

"Xuanwu! I want to meet Xuanwu. Hearing this, the soothsayer suddenly said seriously.

"Can you explain why?"

"Of course, Your Majesty, the story of the Minnu is very simple. When he was a child, he was a war orphan, his father died in war, and his mother starved to death, and was later adopted by the Jianghu opera troupe in the village. At that time, there was a large group of orphans living together, because the women were blind and easily ostracized, and life was particularly difficult. Once, the folk girl was pushed into the water, thinking that she was dead, but she unintentionally hugged something and floated. ”

"Is it a turtle or a snake?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a turtle, maybe it's a snake, or maybe it's just a piece of wood. However, the Minnu was just a child at that time, and it happened that the lake was also called Xuanwu Lake, so the Minnu claimed that she was rescued by Xuanwu. ”

"I guess this 'lie' has done you a great favor?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is really shrewd. Originally, the folk girl was just an ordinary child, a blind child who was bullied everywhere. With the legend of 'Xuanwu Rescue', the folk girl was demigodized. Jianghu opera troupes have always needed legends, and what better story could be better than Xuanwu's rescue. Therefore, the folk girl attracted the attention of all directions when she was less than ten years old. There is no need to perform, as long as you stand up and say that the folk girl was saved by Xuanwu, the people watching will shout excitedly and reward money. ”

Tang Shidao understood.

There are too many wars in Shuihua, and people need a kind of spiritual sustenance.

If the diviner is a man, I am afraid that some people will pull it over as a banner and engage in a gimmick of 'Xuanwu descends into the world, the world is unified'. It's a pity that she is a girl and blind, and it is a bit difficult to use it to raise the anti-flag.

Since it's a story, it often has to take a turn.

Really.

"It's just that this good life didn't last long. There are not many places where the troupe can move around, and people will shout fresh when they walk once or twice. If you walk a few more times, people will wonder: since it is the chosen person rescued by Xuanwu, there must be something special, right? Therefore, they all want to see the difference between the people's daughters. It's a pity that the folk girl really doesn't have a second ability except for being blind. ”

"The attention is too high, is someone doing something to Xuanwu Lake?" Tang Shidao smiled.

"Your Majesty is indeed as wise as the sea. That's right, there is. When the maiden told the first lie, someone immediately said the second. When more and more people saw the 'Xuanwu out of the water', the folk girls were afraid. The folk girl is not yet ten years old and knows very well the consequences of the lie being exposed. The day before, everyone regarded the folk girl as a goddess, but the next day they could burn the folk girl. ”

"And then, your crisis arose?"

"Heh, Your Majesty has really seen everything through. The folk girl had a crisis, and the crisis originated from a soothsayer. Your Majesty, you also know that the chaotic Shuihua Kingdom is king by brute force, and these brainless people tend to do a lot of crazy things. Once, the beloved son of a 'king' near Xuanwu Lake fell from his horse, was seriously injured, and the medicine stone was ineffective, and he almost died. He beheaded many healers and killed many gods. ”

"You've been called in for healing too?"

"Your Majesty didn't guess right this time, the story of the Minnu is not so legendary. It's not a folk girl, it's a diviner. The folk girl can't see with her eyes, but she hears the sound very clearly. At that time, the folk girl could hear that the diviner was desperate, and he knew that the divination could not save him, so he told a lie: let the water of Xuanwu Lake dry, stab the blood of Xuanwu, and drink it to be saved. ”

"That king did it, but didn't find Xuanwu?"

"Yes. There are all kinds of crazy people in troubled times, he drained the water of Xuanwu Lake, but he did not find Xuanwu. As a result, the folk girl became a liar. There is no need for everyone to burn to death, the 'king' is already ready to boil the folk girl in hot water. At that time, the folk girl prayed desperately, whether it was a turtle or a snake or a piece of wood to save me at that time, the folk girl only asked it to be gracious again. ”

"And then you hear the natural voice of heaven and earth?"

"No, not yet. Maybe the folk girl was too scared, but she calmed down. Inadvertently, the folk girl hears the voice of a healer begging for mercy. He didn't remember what he said, only his last sentence...... What will work, please don't kill me, let me try. At that time, the folk girl felt that she had 'seen' something. ”

Tang Shidao was stunned.

This is also a kind of awakening, an awakening of deception qualifications.

Really.

The rest of the story is very reasonable, the soothsayer suddenly calmed down, and the magic stick index and the mouth cannon index were upgraded together. He scolded the Grass Head King for offending Xuanwu's majesty, and pointed to the healer, saying that it was the last chance given to him by the Xuanwu Holy Beast. Only by listening to this messenger can his son be saved, otherwise the whole family will perish.

"That's a big gamble, he can't cure it, the people and he have to die."

"He must be cured. Even if he wasn't sure, he must have been sure after he became the 'Xuanwu Messenger'. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. He's smart and he knows it's his only chance. So...... And he really did. From then on, the women began to discover how important it was to hear the voices of the world. If the folk girl had been crying and making a fuss at that time, and listening to this sentence less, the folk girl would have died and had no place to be buried. After that, Your Majesty didn't have to guess, the folk girl became a diviner and a spokesperson for Xuanwu. ”

"When did you actually hear that?"

"Right now. When the folk girl crossed this threshold, she slowly heard the voice of heaven and earth. When she heard the music of fate, the folk girl said: Xuanwu has returned to heaven. ”

At this point in the story, the follow-up is meaningless.

A soothsayer with 'Resonance and Harmony' is invincible. At most, she just didn't know, there was not a single miscalculation error, and she didn't need Xuanwu to ascend to the altar.

Therefore.

There is a contradiction in the diviner's heart: Xuanwu is faked by herself, but this 'fake' is what she is most willing to believe.

It's the same feeling as a sling believing that a goddess has a place in her heart. Or, a fan believes that a star remembers themselves. Even if you know it's unlikely, you stubbornly think 'that's the case'.

The same thing.

The soothsayer knew that Xuanwu had forged it herself, but she was willing to believe that Xuanwu existed. In her life, all happiness was brought by Xuanwu. Whether it was a piece of wood or not, the soothsayer decided to believe it was Xuanwu. This is not to force himself, Tang Shidao also believed in some things that did not exist, such as the military generals in the ancient wild history of the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom.

When I grow up.

Looking through the history books, I found that these heroes did not exist...... But, the former self threw away the history books...... Yes, I believe in. No matter what the history books say, I just think there is.

"Okay, I'll give you Xuanwu." Tang Shidao nodded.

"Your Majesty, are you not joking?" Hearing this, the soothsayer was stunned, half surprised and half delighted.

"Hmm. This is your heart's desire, and it is also the knot of your heart. Without Xuanwu, your ability will not be liberated, and I must realize it. Tang Shidao said affirmatively, and then said, "However, I need a lie that only you and I know." ”

"It's been many years since the women of the people didn't lie." The soothsayer smiled.

"I hope you haven't lost your skills."

"It's not lost, it's always there."

"That's good. You should know that I come from another world, a place that doesn't believe in spirit beasts. Now, I need you to do one thing. ”

"Your Majesty, please command."

"Ask me to take you to find the Xuanwu you sent away. I know it doesn't exist, I just need you to say that, and I'll give you Xuanwu after that. I want everyone to know that it existed and that I didn't create it. Tang Shidao said.

The diviner was silent for a long time before asking, "Is Xuanwu real or false?" ”

Tang Shidao replied: "Really, I also have one in another place." When you finish your wish, you will naturally know what Xuanwu is. ”

The soothsayer nodded slightly.

Half a day later.

The whole city was spread throughout the city, and soon it spread to all the places, to the states, to the ministries. Within a few days, the Jinyi Guard, who had a special communication, spread the news to the world, saying that the famous soothsayer of Beihua asked His Majesty the Tang Emperor to fulfill his wish and take her to find the Xuanwu spirit beast that had saved her and returned to the sky.

For a while, people were lively after tea and dinner.

The Immortal Tang Emperor plus the Diviner, the mixture of the two is definitely an explosive topic.

When the outside world is rising.

Tang Shidao took the soothsayer to an inaccessible place.

"Your Majesty, what is this place?"

"Rokuyama Snake Valley. Before the power of Xuanwu is transmitted to you, it is in another snake woman, this one you should have heard. ”

"I've heard of a mad woman who doesn't want her parents and children for the sake of raising snakes."

"It's her, and now we're going to accept her work." Tang Shidao released the water turtles raised by the soothsayer, and also caught some giant turtle species. With a little coercion, the snakes in the valley swam out. They don't know what came, but they don't dare to resist this will.

The soothsayer could see the color, but she could see the heat, and she knew that countless snakes were crawling towards her.

She wasn't afraid.

The emperor beside him had a feeling that was a hundred million times stronger, facing the snakes, like a high mountain looking down on a group of larvae.

To her surprise.

One of the pythons got into a fight with a giant tortoise. Gradually, they became one. The soothsayers did not see any change in appearance, only a rapid increase in their heat and a rapid change in size. Slowly, a turtle-shaped giant beast with an extra-long snake neck was born.

"This is ......," the soothsayer shuddered.

"Not yet." Tang Shidao waved his hand, and the other turtles and snakes also entered this state of 'creature chimera'. At this time, the first 'Xuanwu' did not stop changing, it was still molting, growing, sharpening its claws, refining its pupils, solidifying its shell, and speeding up its speed.

Chimerism is not an organ transplant.

It is true fusion, the complete naturalization of two different beings. If Xuanwu only had the ability of a turtle or a snake, it would not be considered successful. In addition to the harmony of the turtle and snake, it also needs to go through tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years of evolution in an instant, and it is truly perfect.

This is not only the body, but also the fusion of the blood.
