255: The Emperor of Men
"It's just funny!" There was no mockery in the Thirteenth Master's tone, and then he straightened up, and swiped his palm towards the sky, and the place where okra was instantly returned to the dead wall of Fangcai, it turned out that this dead wall was the gate of the Yin and Yang realm.
Okra and Wei Linyuan got out of the trap, Wei Linyuan was still in the fear of the abyss just now, and Okra also saw the power of this thirteen masters, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Thirteen masters, the king of Guangmu is in your thirteen cities, right?" β
"How so?" The Thirteenth Master asked her rhetorically.
Okra replied without thinking: "The divine thoughts of the dead soul do not lie, except here, I am afraid that he will not bother to go anywhere else in the world!" β
"You know him!" The Thirteenth Master turned around and walked towards the road where they came, and it was also from that end that a pair of pigtailed girls were running out, and when he saw okra from afar, he shouted happily: "Sister Goddess!" Sister Goddess! β
"Double Happiness!" Okra was happy in his eyes, temporarily let go of Wei Linyuan and rushed up, the two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days, and they hugged each other very much.
The little girl looked her up and down and said, "Sister Goddess, you finally came to us, how are these days?" β
"Good!" Okra only cared about agreeing, but she remembered that her red demon eyes were gradually devouring her consciousness, and she was scolded by the world as a demon girl, so many situations are really not good.
Seeing that the Thirteenth Master was gone, she hurriedly asked, "Where did this Thirteenth Master come from?" Why does the Thirteen Cities of Jiang exist? β
Song Shuangxi has always known everything about her, and this time is no exception, she said: "Sister Goddess doesn't know, the Thirteenth Master is the descendant of the Ouyang family in the eight families who believed in the Immortal Lord back then, he is the first person in Yin-Yang Technique today, as for the thirteen cities, it existed in the battle of life and death hundreds of years ago, and it has been left here for a long time, in fact, it has long since declined, and the name of the Thirteenth Master is only because he became the city lord of the Thirteen Cities, and his original life is naturally not called this!" β
As soon as okra heard her mention the battle of life and death hundreds of years ago, it was immediately clear, six hundred years ago, the spirit girl Nanzhao in order to suppress the prison monument, against those who were sealed in the sarcophagus, called on the world's Xuanmen to form an organization called the righteous way camp, and the righteous way camp was not disbanded after the war, a considerable number of warlocks remained, continued to support the righteous path, and the descendants or descendants of these people also continued, due to the changes of the world, their names have erased the shadow of the righteous path camp of the year, Hidden in the city of Jiangzhou, each in its own way.
This would explain why Wei Zhongyi was able to tolerate the existence of such a place, because long before the Wei family ruled Jiangzhou, their ancestors existed here.
Therefore, the thirteen cities of Jiang were not founded by the thirteen masters, and he was just the city lord selected among the many strange men in the thirteen cities.
And this city lord is precisely the descendant of the family who once believed in Jiang Wuzhong, he is not only the city lord, but also said that Guangmu is now worshiped by the thirteen cities!
Okra couldn't wait to say to Song Shuangxi: "Take me to see him!" β
Song Shuangxi was a little distressed, she said: "The fairy lord doesn't seem to want to see the goddess sister!" β
"Why?" Okra was stunned, she had gone through many tests just to see Guangmu, she felt that this fairy should also want to see herself, how could she not want to see her.
Song Shuangxi replied: "I don't know, but when I came, the fairy lord told me so." β
As he spoke, Song Shuangxi straightened his chest, straightened his neck, and said with his hands behind his back: "If there is nothing to do, she will not go to the Three Treasures Palace, if she doesn't have something to ask for, can she think of the deity?" β
Okra hurriedly defended herself: "Why did your immortal master look at me like this? I still often wonder if he has eaten well these days, and if he doesn't drink the tasteless tea I brewed, will he feel unhappy! β
Song Shuangxi covered his mouth and snickered, and then said to himself: "Shuangxi also thinks that how can the goddess sister be so ruthless? Even if you don't want our fairy master, you have to think about double happiness, go, I'll take you to see the fairy master! β
Okra nodded and said okay, and didn't forget to turn around and pull Wei Linyuan together.
Wei Linyuan was sullen, and said angrily: "Your immortal lord is so domineering, he will leave when people leave, and he will hook my soul to go, causing chaos in the whole Jiangzhou, and now I want to see him, and I and my sister almost hit the ground." β
Song Shuangxi replied: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, you're angry!" β
ββ¦β¦β
They soon came to a building, and there were many rare flowers and plants in the building, which was where the Thirteenth Master lived, and Guangmu now lived in the building.
Shuangxi led the okra in, and saw a lot of people in the thirteen cities who served here, many of them had also seen okra when they entered the city, at this time they all stood aside amicably, and then walked inside, it was the lobby on this floor, there was a mink chair on the high hall, and there was a man in a red robe sitting on the chair, which was the king of Guangmu.
Duan Cainan and the Thirteenth Master were waiting on both sides of the big chair, but the closest to the chair was Dai Biluo, who was still dressed in white and stood very coldly.
When the okra came closer, before she could speak, Dai Biluo counted Song Shuangxi.
"Didn't the fairy lord already tell you and didn't want to see her, how can you take the fairy lord's command as the wind in your ears?"
Song Shuangxi lowered his head, the humble appearance of a child who had done something wrong walked to Guangmu's side, and whispered: "Shuangxi originally wanted to send the goddess sister away according to the fairy lord's intentions, but the goddess sister has been thinking about the fairy lord for a long time, and the goddess couldn't bear it, so she dared to bring it, and the fairy will punish it, so punish the double happiness!" β
After saying the little girl's double happiness song, she knelt in front of Guangmu with a 'bang', and couldn't wait to squeeze out two tears from her eyes immediately.
Guangmu had a horse's face, as if he was angry for Song Shuangxi's assertions, and his lack of saying a word made everyone in the lobby a little nervous.
Because this immortal has been in the Thirteen Cities for some time, as soon as he shows this look, some people will suffer, and they are all very afraid!
Okra saw that the little girl was so wronged for herself, and her heart was distressed, so she hurriedly said: "Don't blame Shuangxi, I forced her to bring me here, she is soft-hearted, how can she twist me!" β
"You're capable!" Wide-eyed glanced at her, and looked away, looking angry at the sight of her.
Okra was no longer surprised by this appearance, and knew in his heart that if he was really angry, he would definitely not sit there and talk, so he pretended to blame himself and said, "Hey, since King Guangmu is so tired of me, then I will go!" β
She turned around and was about to leave, but Wei Linyuan didn't understand why, and glared at her: We finally got here? Where to go? Rappisa has to stay here today!
Guangmu also seemed to guess her thoughts, and raised his eyebrows and watched her go.
The okra people were about to walk to the gate, and there was no sound from behind her to stop, she couldn't help it, she looked back at Guangmu, Guangmu held her cheeks and said, "Let's go, you-"
Seeing that this plan was a mistake, Okra immediately turned his face into a smile, and said cheekily: "I'm kidding, I have wasted all my strength to get here, even if you kill me today, I won't be able to leave!" β
After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked to the mink chair again.
Guangmu lazily changed his posture, supported the other cheek with his other hand and said, "You just said that the deity is your important person?" When the deity is not there, you feel that the sky is about to fall, and the earth is also falling, but is it true? β
Okra nodded sharply without doubting herself, "Of course it's true, without you, I feel that as soon as I sleep until dawn, I don't have to finish practicing, and I am idle because I don't have to prepare ingredients for you, and I am terrified, isn't it that the sky has fallen and the earth has fallen?" β
"Huh." Hiromu let go of his cheeks and sat up, "I know that you conscienceless girl said those things just to suffer less sin!" β
The face of the thirteenth master hidden in the robe changed slightly, and he wanted to help King Guangmu ask a few more questions to make him happy and happy, this girl from the Feng family is really cunning.
"Don't be in a hurry to get angry just yet!" Okra wants to explain.
Hirome emphasized: "Why is the deity angry? The deity knew it from the beginning, that's why I didn't bother to see you! β
Okra smiled and said, "Isn't this too exaggerated and distorted?" When you are not there, the sky is indeed not yet bed, and the earth has not had time to fall, but I am really thinking about you, thinking about whether you have eaten well, whether you have drunk well, whether the filth of this world has smoked you, and I am still making your shoes! β
"What about the shoes?" The wide-eyed question approached the soul, and the okra was stunned again.
Then she replied awkwardly: "Shoes...... It's all to blame on Zhao Luan, he stole my ghost, and he didn't even have a helper to help me sew the soles of my shoes, where can I have shoes? Don't you have to get the ghost back first! β
Guangmu let out a long sigh, a little crying and laughing.
The deity knows that saying such well-behaved words can't avoid the ultimate goal after all!
Okra also felt that this motive was too obvious and a little guilty, and she leaned forward and pulled out a bulging piece of oiled paper from her bag, which she had brought out of the palace.
She said, "Thinking that you must have lost any taste in your mouth for a few days, before going out, I made you a piece of red bean cake with my own hands." β
She handed the red bean cake to Hirome and looked at him with a blank eye.
Guangmu wanted to take it and taste it immediately, but with so many pairs of eyes in this hall, it really lost the majesty of his immortals, and he said angrily: "Is the deity rare these things?" β
Okra was dumbfounded and took the red bean cake back.
Guangmu then said to the others in the hall with a blank face: "What are you doing here?" The filthy breath in the hall has reached the deity! β
The Thirteenth Master then ordered: "Let's all disperse!" β
And then the men departed without getting enough of it!
Only Dai Biluo and Song Shuangxi were left in the hall, and the okra was still holding the red bean cake, and he didn't know whether he wanted to eat it or not, but Song Shuangxi got up from the ground and took the red bean cake, and sent it to Guangmu, and persuaded: "Fairy master, the goddess's sister has injured her hand, and she can be described as exhausted these days, and it is really well-intentioned to make pastries for you, so you can enjoy your face and taste it!" β
Guangmu reluctantly took it, opened the oil paper wrapped outside, frowned, and said in disgust: "It's all squashed for you, it's extremely ugly!" β
Okra turned around embarrassedly and explained: "It's not easy to toss for so long on the way here, and it is not easy to tell that it is a cake, or ...... I'll do it for you when I go back? β
I thought that Guangmu would not eat it, but when I raised my eyes, I found that people had picked it up and took a bite, and commented: "It's too sweet!" Greasy! β
"Red bean cake is already sweet!"
Seeing that he had eaten half of it, he enjoyed it very much, and the okra couldn't bear it anymore, and was just about to ask a question, but was overshadowed by a wide voice.
"Why did Zhao Luan give you a three-day period?"
"Yes......" Okra frowned and thought carefully, it stands to reason that if Zhao Luan wants to destroy her soul, she can do it at any time, but if she wants to give her a three-day period, it is expected that she will definitely find another way to find it.
"Is he here for you?"
Guangmu sneered, "The deity hasn't gone to him yet, but he's thinking about the deity!" β
"So what do I do now?" Okra asked.
"Are you really asking the deity?"
"Who else do I ask?"
"The deity hated as early as the first day you saw Zhao Luan, he had the deity on his body, and the deity wanted to get it back, but it was because you took care of the overall situation of Jiangzhou and your brother Wei's loyalty that it was slowed down, how, at this time I finally knew that your set would not work?" Countless mockery on a wide face.
Okra frowned, she was still too naΓ―ve, she always thought that everything in this world could be resolved one by one as long as she was attentive, just like she tried her best to persuade Wei Zhongyi and Sima Yan, but the final result was a slap in the face.
It turned out that she was not able to move the world with her sincerity, and the world was much more stubborn than ghosts.
"Maybe it backfired, but I'm not wrong, it's this world and this human heart that is wrong!" Okra said without remorse: "If I had to do it again, I'm afraid I would still choose to do so." β
"Even if they want you dead? Wish you were going to die right away? β
"If my death can change their peace of mind, it will be worth it in their eyes, and if I resent it, what difference am I from them?"
Guangmu clapped his hands and sarcastically said: "If you don't get together with the like, then you deserve to be pierced by ten thousand arrows and spurned by the world!" β
"I don't care!" Okra raised his head and said: "What I want to win has never been the admiration of the world, I am a yin person, I must stick to the original intention of the yin person, stick to the promise I made with him, if I give up the original intention for those virtual things, then what is the point of my journey?" It's better to sink into the vast green river and become one of the thousands of sand and stones! β
Whenever she argued with him, Hirome always retorted in the strongest possible way, but when she heard her say that she would rather be the sand and gravel at the bottom of the river, she was silent!
He hated this obsession that came from Jiang Wuzhong, and while he tried to change her obsession, he was also deeply infected by this obsession, as if he had found the original intention that he had never had.
After a long time, he spoke: "So even if I know that I will be crushed by this, I will not hesitate to break my bones." β
He wasn't asking, but it was clear in this moment.
Okra said: "What I am afraid of is never broken bones, but even if I am broken bones, I will still change something." β
"What a foolβ" Hirome smiled, and his smile was weak, because at this moment he finally understood that his obsession could not be changed.
"Maybe there's only one way......" He looked at the lotus flower that had been left by his side, and said thoughtfully, "There is only one way to change your heart for him." β
Okra didn't care how he was trying to change his heart, she was bent on getting her soul bag back, and said eagerly, "Please tell me where the soul bag is?" β
Guangmu got up, the water-red robe on the floor rubbed a soft sound, and he turned his back to the past, "Zhao Luan used your soul bag to blackmail, just to draw out the deity, or not, the deity condescended to look at him." β
Okra hurriedly asked, "Are you going to kill him?" β
She was a little worried, Zhao Luan had a 'Jue' spirit on his body, if the two of them fought head-on, it would be a big war, and I was afraid that many innocent people would be affected at that time.
Guangmu had already guessed her thoughts, and replied coldly: "I will have a battle with him sooner or later, no matter how much you worry, it will be useless!" β
"Oh."
Okra speculated in his heart, that Zhao Luan was ambitious, but it was not surprising that he was born in the royal family, and it was difficult to find the 'Jue' soul on his body.
Because there were still people waiting outside, Okra and Wei Linyuan didn't have much delay, since Guangmu promised her, it would definitely be completed, and the two came out of the Thirteen Cities that night and went back to Weiwang's Mansion to wait for news.
Seeing that it is almost Chinese New Year's Eve, the city is full of lights to welcome the new year.
As soon as the sun set on this day, the north wind blew again, and Prince Zhao's honor guard walked through the street, and was welcomed by the people along the way, because he was happy, and always sprinkled copper yuan into the people's pile, which was lively for a while, and left a good name.
Zhao Luan hugged his white cat and sat in the chariot, it was finally quiet outside, he pinched his forehead with his hand, and the originally quiet white cat suddenly stood up, and the white cat on his body stood up in shock.
Prince Zhao hadn't changed much, as if he had already known who was coming in front of him, and he ordered: "Stop!" β
The groom stopped the car, and his personal guard Degui stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, is this what you want?" β
"This is waiting."
As he spoke, he carried the white cat down to the ground, and the snow on the ground was still piled up, which would have soiled his leather boots, which was impossible before, but today he went against the norm and walked down to the ground himself, and the other servants in the honor guard were confused, but because they were afraid of his obscenity, no one dared to say a word.
Zhao Luan walked forward, and the whole street was empty, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
"Meow-" the cat whispered something in his arms, as if to remind him.
"There is no hindrance, what should come will come." Zhao Luan loved his cat so much that he comforted it in turn.
Further onto the intersection of Shizi Road, there is a hundred-year-old tree at the mouth, the huge roots of the tree extend intricately in the ground, and the trunk of the tree above is hung with the wish bags of the people in the city to pray for blessings, each wish bag is tied with a red cloth, in this white covered winter, like a fiery red flower blooming on the branches.
Under the tree stood a beautiful fairy man in a water-red robe, who turned his back to the direction from which Zhao Luan came and looked up at the blessing bags full of trees.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he could see the story contained in each prayer bag.
The fisherman who fishes in the river and the sea for a living never came back after leaving the river, leaving his wife and children to wait at home, knowing that the river was not very peaceful that night, and the fisherman would never come back, the wife still wrote the expectation of waiting for her husband to come back into the blessing bag, and hung it on the treetops. But she also wrote in the blessing bag that he would come back, and Yang Laohan, who made a living by collecting firewood, lost his son in his early years, and later picked up an outcast, cut down on food and clothing, and took care of the abandoned child to grow up, but this son thought he was poor and pickled, and he left the country after becoming an adult, and never came back.
O wretched man, wide eyes closed his eyes, and the voices of the sorrow of the world still echoed in his ears.
Zhao Luan had stopped not far behind Guangmu at this time, and sighed softly: "Legend has it that King Guangmu is ruthless and desireless, but he is also affected by the distractions of this world. β
Guangmu dismissed those mournful screams from his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he only turned cold, he turned slightly, but he disdained to look at Zhao Luan behind him, "It's just an ordinary man who got the divine thoughts of the deity by chance, and also tried to spy on the deity's meaning?" β
Zhao Luan was not annoyed by this contemptuous remark, his fingertips stroked repeatedly between the soft and smooth white cats of the white cat in his arms, "If I was only born to be an ordinary man, how can I control this divine soul?" And you were born a god, but you are no better than me! β
Guangmu turned around and looked at the other party coldly: "Maybe you have an extraordinary destiny, but after all, it's not your thing, it's useless to think about it!" β
"What I want should have been mine, I thought that the one who knew me best in this world should be your wide-eyed king!" Zhao Luan walked slowly around Guangmu, and reminded him with a smile: "Although you have broad eyes, it is his soul awakening, but you are only his shadow after all, but he is not as wise as you, you have long been aware of the unbearable and filthy nature of this world, you hate this fickle world for turning your back on you, you came out of the seal, it is to take back everything that belongs to you, and I was born as the emperor's order, this country and this Li people, should be mine, and only I can perceive your extraordinary consciousness, everything I have done, Isn't that what you think? Wide-eyed King! β
When the sound fell, the cat in Zhao Luan's arms had already gotten to the ground on its own, running to the side and bowing its head obediently.
Zhao Luan also felt something from the wide sleeves, presented it to Guangmu with both hands, and said very sincerely: "The soul bag of the Yin Walker is presented!" β
Guangmu glanced at the soul bag handed over, but did not take it, he sneered: "What a cunning prince of the Zhao family, do you think that in this way, the deity will not take back the soul of Jue on your body?" β
"The magic of the king of Guangmu is boundless, it is easy to take back the soul of Jue, Zhao Luan is not greedy, it is enough to have this soul for ten years, as long as the king of Guangmu helps, you can help me return to the heavenly capital, if I am the emperor, I will definitely respect you as the saint of the world, imagine that at that time, the land of the world, the people of the world, where can not be reached?"
