Chapter Ninety-Six: The Emperor Kills the Immortals! (+1 more)
Two-finger-thick sandalwood was lit around the Temple of Heaven, and the curling pure white smoke meandered into the sky, and in the clear morning, it rose to the clouds before it was blown away, and the civil and military officials of Daqin stood around the Temple of Heaven wearing court clothes and hanging their hands, and the main altar surrounded by the white jade railing carved Zhou Tian Xingchen.
On top of it is a quaint altar, like a whole rock dug out of the oldest mountains, which is not flat, but it seems more crude and real, and on top of the altar is a dossier with white jade as a scroll, and there are stone tablets with ancient prayers written on it.
Chu Tianxing stood on the south side, wearing snow-colored sleeves and a jade crown to tie his hair. On the other hand, the emperor of Great Qin stood on the north side, wearing the grandest twelve-chapter gown, holding the emperor's sword in one hand and the heirloom jade seal wrapped in golden silk in the other.
Chu Tianxing saw from a distance that although the emperor's eyes were still as smart as before and he could continue to arrange matters, there was an indescribable woodenness in the depths, as if all this was just a natural behavior according to habit, and he himself could no longer continue to think.
The emperor's gaze was dry, and he didn't even blink at all.
Chu Tianxing smiled slightly, his hands were in his sleeves, the wide cloud sleeves hung down, he bowed to the emperor of the world, the surroundings of the Temple of Heaven were solemn, all the officials knew the purpose of the emperor standing here today, they had an indescribable sense of humiliation in their hearts, but they could not do anything.
The time has come for the ancient sacrifice to the heavens.
The old Shangshu Changsun Nian at the front of the civil officials was not there, and the Ministry of Rites asked the emperor to prepare to start this abrupt prayer ceremony at the same time, Chu Tianxing looked around, except for the eldest Sun Nian who assisted the emperor of the three dynasties, all the officials were there.
Even the Emperor Li Shude, who has been indulging in lust in the palace and doesn't care about the affairs of the world, was also invited over.
But when he was invited, he was still letting several beautiful young women play the piano and music, and he was dressed in colorful and frivolous clothes, so that the scantily clad women formed a circle, and he was barefoot, dancing to the beat of the music, laughing.
Even if he was pulled over, he was still wearing that gorgeous costume, like a play, and the look on his face at the moment was impatient, and he was even turning his head and laughing with those ministers, but in such a solemn occasion, no one could still laugh.
Chu Tianxing's gaze paused next to Emperor Li Shude.
The old eunuch Li Lian, who intercepted him in the air last time, was standing beside the Emperor Taishang, standing with his hands down, Li Lian noticed Chu Tianxing's gaze, raised his head and saluted slightly towards this distinguished guest, Chu Tianxing's heart was slightly cold, nodded, and after returning the salute, he withdrew his gaze.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites sounded the solemn ritual music, which was the music used by the Shang King Mutian and the King of Zhou before the crusade against the enemy country, when praying for the sky, as if overlooking the world from the Taishang, with a vast momentum, the officials put their left and right hands on the back of their right hands and bowed down to make a big salute.
The wide long sleeves hung down like a cloud, and the large pieces were connected together.
Together with the celestial man, the emperor slowly walked up the white jade steps, and the ritual music gradually rose from the thick expanse, gradually becoming light and empty, as if whispering, gradually rising, and finally accompanied by the pure white sandalwood smoke, slowly dissipated in the sky.
The ceremonial officer presided over the festival with ancient syllables.
In the smoke, except for the emperor's seat, after the hundred officials bowed again, they all knelt on the white jade royal road, the emperor and Chu Tianxing sat on the left and right sides of the altar, Chu Tianxing unfolded the file of the jade shaft, and said:
"Your Majesty, please press down the jade seal......"
The emperor's eyes were wooden, he unfolded the bright yellow silk next to him, revealing the jade seal of the Great Qin Kingdom hovering with the dragon, his right hand was held on the jade seal, the luck of the empire was overflowing, Chu Tianxing had irrepressible joy in his eyes, and the emperor raised the jade seal slightly, ready to press it down.
In an instant, the next steps have been rehearsed in my mind.
With the instant explosion of the imperial dragon qi, and the heavenly qi luck in the heaven-turning seal instantly collided, taking advantage of the instantaneous gap between the two qi machines, he took out the sword to slash the sky-turning seal, as long as he hit a crack, the heavenly qi luck inside would all surge out like an ocean, and Chu Tianxing lost the ability to ignore the martial artist's qi.
"Are you going to die at last?"
The emperor muttered to himself in his heart, and then calmed down.
No one could have imagined what would happen in the next moment.
On such a solemn occasion, everyone's attention was on the two people on the Temple of Heaven, the old man who was dressed in colorful clothes and entertained himself suddenly reached out and grabbed the rosewood seat under him, and then shook his wrist, and the heavy seat flew over the head of the hundred officials and smashed on the altar accurately.
Li Lian's Great Grandmaster Qi concealed this behavior.
So even Chu Tianxing couldn't react, the heavy rosewood chair knocked down everything on the altar, the sandalwood was broken, and finally the rosewood chair fell to the ground heavily, turning into fragments, making a series of noisy sounds.
Dead silence, the entire Temple of Heaven fell into dead silence.
Baiguan raised his head suddenly, and saw the back of the Emperor Taishang, with old white hair, broad shoulders, and tall figure, standing there, like a mighty lion, such a thought subconsciously appeared in their hearts, but they immediately naturally denied it.
Chu Tianxing got up slowly, looking at the old man who dared to disturb his good deeds, looking at him wearing a handsome colorful robe, like a clown, Chu Tianxing's eyes looked indifferent, and a low voice came out of his mouth:
"Emperor Taishang, what do you mean?"
Li Shude didn't care about this heavenly person, he just looked at the emperor sitting there, and the emperor also looked into his eyes, and saw that sadness appeared in the eyes of those who had always been frivolous, and then like a long knife with rust on its scabbard, it was pulled out violently, and it sent out a sharp and cold determination.
Li Shude said softly: "Emperor, my son. ”
"You have killed your brother and imprisoned your father."
"Now you're going to give away your world?"
Chu Tianxing's face was gloomy, and the Emperor Li Shude walked up to the Temple of Heaven step by step, the emperor looked at him, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, but that feeling was so familiar, he finally remembered that it was when he went to the territory of the Qin State as a teenager to hunt and met a tiger.
He was thrown off his mount by the tiger, and his father stretched out his arms, shielded him from the tiger's fangs with his arms, and protected him in his arms, saying, "Don't be afraid, my son, your father is still here."
An extremely heavy uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and he almost subconsciously got up and shouted:
"Go down quickly, Father!"
Chu Tianxing looked up at the emperor who got up suddenly, the expression in his eyes changed several times, and finally turned into the anger of being deceived, he stood up suddenly, and a pure white lotus flower appeared above his head, and a jade seal surrounded by a lotus flower appeared, sprinkling layers of qi.
A sword appeared in his hand, and he was about to kill the emperor immediately, but the old eunuch suddenly appeared on his side, and the five fingers of his palm were opened, stopping the sword, and the blade fell, bursting out with scorching sparks.
"Turning the Seal?"
Li Shude suddenly smiled slightly, he held the sword, his bearing was graceful and domineering, he said gently.
"My son, I told you the story of this divine soldier."
The emperor who was standing in front of the case suddenly rushed to the front, his movements were too intense, the file on the table turned over, and the jade seal that had been pressed on it fell down with a bang, and the seal pressed on the file was actually blood red, without half a sentence.
The back of the jade seal is only one piece smooth.
The emperor looked at the old emperor, and saw that he was used to the frivolous, indulgent eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife again, and his heart was flustered, his right hand had already held the Tai'a sword on his waist, and in the direction of Qin Tianjian, the eldest grandson Nian who had snatched a healthy horse came over.
Behind him was seven hundred holding Jinwu, no one could imagine that Lao Shangshu, who had always had a good temper, was so skillful in bowing and horses, and his hair was open, and he actually showed a fierce wind that only soldiers can have.
Li Shude raised his foot and kicked the emperor staggered back, and no one thought that this old man actually had such strength, he looked at the eldest grandson Nian who drove the horse, suddenly grinned, held the sword, and said loudly:
"It's time for you to see the spirit of the older generation, little lotus!"
"No!"
Li Lian let out a loud cry in her mouth, and she had already appeared behind Chu Tianxing, her arms outstretched, and she hugged this celestial who relied on the Heaven Turning Seal, and this reaction obviously exceeded Chu Tianxing's expectations.
The pure white qi flames on Chu Tianxing's body burned wildly.
Li Lian was one of the few great masters in the world, but he was still deterred before the accumulation of five hundred years of Qi Luck in the Heavenly Realm, and there was still a layer of ripples that were only an inch, which made Chu Tianxing's suddenly flustered mind instantly regain his composure, he laughed insolently, and said:
"Since I already know that I have a heaven-turning seal, I know the aura of a martial artist, even if it is a great grandmaster, what can I do? Or are you going to let your emperor come and fight me to the death? I will die here today, but killing your emperor will cause chaos in the world, but I have fulfilled my wish! ”
But at this time, Li Shude held the Guantai Dingqin Sword on his waist with his right hand, and he muttered:
"I traveled the world at the age of sixteen, and ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one."
The look on Chu Tianxing's face suddenly froze.
In the sound of the sword, the sword of the Guantai Dingqin slowly came out of its sheath little by little.
On the old man's body, there was no inferior to the emperor's body, the domineering dragon qi turned into a dragon with delicate scales, and suddenly roared, the old man raised his sword, his voice was still flat, he was wearing colorful clothes, but when he spoke now, he had an inexplicable sense of majesty, which made people want to tremble:
"At the age of twenty-three, he captured eleven cities and beheaded more than sixty-seven thousand."
"Twenty-four-year-old Raid Yan."
"Twenty-seven years old, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, together with me, attacked Hangu Pass."
"I drove the expedition in person, and the army of the five countries was defeated."
"At the age of thirty-one, the horse set foot in the northern frontier, and the Huns retreated three hundred miles."
Li Shude grinned.
Chu Tianxing's expression had changed, his elbows were bent, and he frantically hit Li Lian's abdomen, and the old eunuch behind him who was almost dying of old age had already coughed up blood in his mouth, but those thin arms burst out with terrifying power at this moment, locking Chu Tianxing tightly.
The Guantai Dingqin Sword in Li Shude's hand pointed sharply at the surrounding ministers and the emperor who was blocked by the qi barrier, and pointed to the old Shangshu who was rushing over, took a deep breath, suddenly his eyes were about to split, and roared:
"Don't fall!"
"I'm Daqin, don't surrender !!"
The incomparably high dragon roar really appeared in everyone's ears this time.
Li Shude moved suddenly, gray hair, he was like an old lion running to the end, he rushed out without hesitation, his steps stepped heavily on the Temple of Heaven, he stabbed out his long sword, and shouted hoarsely:
"Old Qin!"
The hoarse and mournful voice constantly echoed between heaven and earth, lonely and resolute.
A violent dragon roar suddenly rose in Chu Tianxing's ears, and his head slammed to the ground, blank.
The Guantai Dingqin Sword in Li Shude's hand stabbed out violently, and only the last layer of Qi was left to defend itself, and this divine weapon pierced Mr. Chu, but at the same time, it also pierced Li Lian, who was holding Mr. Chu to death.
Facing Li Lian, who grew up with him since he was a child, I don't know how much he saved his life.
Li Shude's sword still didn't spare any hand.
As if encountering an enemy that had been destined since its birth, the divine weapon instantly bloomed with a vast brilliance and a poignant sword sound that was not inferior to the great sun in the sky.
Chu Tianxing was obviously a celestial comparable to the Great Grandmaster, but at this moment, he had to retreat again and again, the dragon qi was constantly entangled, Chu Tianxing's body was torn apart by the invisible dragon qi entanglement, and Li Shude's body was also constantly eaten by the luck in the Heaven Turning Seal, the old man began to cough up blood, but his eyes were still bright.
Chu Tianxing gritted his teeth and wanted to consume Li Shude to death.
The qi on Li Lian's body suddenly exploded.
When Chu Tianxing was stunned, the Heaven Turning Seal had already been thrown out, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab this divine weapon in his hand, but Li Lian directly grabbed his arm, the eunuch who had accompanied Li Shude since he was a child grinned, and he still looked like in the past.
He suddenly whispered that the little one thanked His Majesty for a mouthful of food that year, and the little family members all survived.
He whispered that this life is here, go down first and wait for Your Majesty.
Chu Tianxing's color changed.
The great grandmaster Li Lian grinned behind him, as if he was as honest as a teenager, no one knew that this great grandmaster who shocked the world for half a hundred was just a heavenly eunuch beggar of the Seven Kingdoms back then, and no one knew that the young prince who escaped from the palace back then once gave half a steamed bun to the little beggar who was about to starve to death.
It's been so long, so long that even the young prince has forgotten it.
But that piece of steamed bun that is a little rancid is really something I can't forget in this life.
Li Lian straightened her back and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty, Minister, retreat!"
The qi in the old man's body suddenly reversed, and he rushed into the sky with Chu Tianxing, and the vision that seemed to be a flame erupting in the sky spread throughout Tianjing City, and the red fire burned the clouds of the entire sky to the end, leaving the flowing fire to sweep through the sky, and all that was left was the pure pale blue sky.
After everything burned out.
Chu Tianxing fell heavily on the Temple of Heaven, and when he struggled to raise his head, he saw Li Shude who was smiling fiercely, and saw the famous Guantai Dingqin Sword, he struggled to get up on his knees, gritted his teeth and said:
"Does the Qin State want war?"
The sword in Li Shude's hand fell on his shoulder and said:
"It's not that we want war, it's that you want it."
"I'm from Daqin......"
He muttered softly.
"No war, no revenge!"
The sword in his hand slashed horizontally.
At the end of the day, the old man's play-like clothes were stained with blood, he held a sword in his right hand, and grabbed Mr. Chu's dead head with his left hand, step by step, staggered past the white jade railing.
The surrounding courtiers knelt on the ground.
Those gray-haired old ministers who followed Li Shude through life and death were already in tears.
He passed by the emperor and muttered to himself:
"My son, I don't know how to face you."
"I always knew that you were better than your eldest brother, but I never made up my mind, my son, your father was an indecisive man, and my indecision led to such a tragic end, ha, I thought I was decisive enough."
He said:
"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."
"The Son of Heaven is an ancient title, since then, this title is no longer needed, the world is reunified in my hands, the title of the Son of Heaven will also end in my time, after I die, I will still be buried under the emperor's name, draw an end, but you can't, as for what the emperor will call in the future, you can think for yourself."
Under the tearful gaze of the courtiers, the old man stood alone in the center of the Temple of Heaven, and then kicked the altar of sacrifice to heaven over, put the head still on the ground, grabbed the broken sandalwood, and stuck it in front of the dead head, grinning and laughing.
"Great Qin sacrifices to the sky with this head!"
"God, are you satisfied?! Hahaha......"
He was dressed in fancy costumes, funny and funny.
The hosta had already fallen to the ground and shattered into several pieces, his white hair was like withered grass, he shook his head with a laugh, looked to the side, and said, "Li Lian? ”
But there was no one next to him who would definitely respond.
The eldest grandson Nian rolled off the saddle, he looked at the old man who was already dying, looked at him covered in blood, his eyes were slightly red, and suddenly he lifted his somewhat messy official uniform, knelt down heavily, saluted with his hands crossed, and said in a loud voice:
"Minister!"
"Under the command of Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin, the military division of the army sacrificed wine, and the eldest grandson read it."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
One by one, the old courtiers who had accompanied the white-haired old man to conquer the world fell to their knees, their voices choked, and they shouted out that their official positions were completely incommensurate with their current official uniforms, and they burst into tears.
"Minister!"
"Under the command of Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin, Lin Zi, the governor of the government."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Minister!"
",...... under Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin"
In the end, the emperor slowly crossed his hands and saluted, and said:
"Son."
"Under the command of Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin, the lord of Tiance Mansion."
"Congratulations, Father!"
"Receiving the imperial decree of my father, I am Daqin...... I'd rather die than surrender! ”
Everyone bowed down and saluted, and up was the pure, pale blue sky, and the white-haired old man stood between the sky and the earth, and everyone bowed down, except that he was still standing in the world, and at his feet were the immortal who was not blinding, and behind him were his subjects.
His eyes gradually dilated, and he held his sword, and murmured:
"Li Lian, all along, has been by my side."
"I'm glad I couldn't thank you in the end, it's a pity......"
"Red, I'm finally able to apologize to you personally."
"Tianjing Sword, I'm sorry."
"Abu ......"
He read the names one by one, as if counting the scars on his heart, tears flowed, Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin, when he was dying, he finally let go of himself completely, and finally he stood up and stood up, and the sword of Dingqin in his hand pointed forward, and suddenly laughed wildly:
"The !! of the world"
This high, lion-like roar, and then, as if he had exhausted all his strength, the voice was low, and he stretched out his hand to those dreams, long and gentle like a mighty spring breeze sweeping over the land of thousands of miles.
The iron horses fighting in the northern Xinjiang, the disturbed rivers and lakes, and the endless waves of Penglai.
The old man squinted and muttered contentedly.
"Dreaming ......"
He was lifeless, his eyes closed, and he fell backwards.
Before touching the earth, it turned into ashes because of the backlash of the huge heavenly machine, and the Guantai Dingqin Sword was inserted upside down on the ground, accompanied by the complete collapse of the heaven-turning seal, constantly whispering, and the ministers knelt on the ground one by one, holding Jin Wu and half-kneeling in armor, and those white-haired old men cried out bitterly.
No matter what happens after that, the emperor who once led them across the world has gone, and the land that the horse's hooves have trodden, and the dreams and ambitions that Jian Feng refers to have all collapsed.
Their time is over.
On this day, which lasted for 3,700 years, the chains used by the celestial beings to limit the emperors of the world from generation to generation were personally cut off by the last emperor of the Central Plains with the most decisive attitude. Later generations of historians have different opinions on the study of this change, which was covered up by the repeated palace coups and the opposition of father and son, but there has never been the slightest dispute about the historical significance of this node, and a rare unity has been reached.
Since then, heaven and man have completely said goodbye.
The emperor who once ruled the world for 500 years, the first genuine Son of Heaven in 500 years, finally ended the title of Son of Heaven with his own death. The world was ruled in his hands, and the name of the Son of Heaven was drawn to his final end.
History, June of the eighth year of Dayuan of Great Qin, Emperor Taishang, Emperor Xuanwu of Great Qin, Xu.
He was 83 years old.
Since then, the emperors of later generations no longer call themselves the Son of Heaven, but instead call themselves the King of Humans.
And in the year of history, the actions of the immortals, as well as the requirements put forward for Great Qin, also spread throughout the world along with the killing of immortals by Emperor Tai of Great Qin.
On the second day, the heavens were furious, and heavy auspicious clouds fell from the sky, enveloping the Tianjing City.
When the sun is rising.
An old man who had already fallen to the eighth rank put on the dusty armor and walked out of the mountain again.
