Chapter 22 - Through the Ages
The moon is bright and the wind is clear, the long wind is leisurely, and a golden light symbolizing the dawn is gradually projected in the sky. The light swept through the quiet streets, with dead leaves and dust sprinkled over them. Although the surrounding city walls are still towering, there is not a single soldier on the city wall, and there is not a trace of life in the whole city. It seems that there is no trace of people in the uneven houses displayed on both sides of the city.
It was a sword pointing at the sky, and a puff of snow-breaking dust rose from the ground, and from it flashed a long black hair with a bronze mask and a strand of black hair peeking out of the top of his head. He was wearing a black cloak, and these two 2 cloaks were fluttering in the wind. The unusually burly figure with a bronze mask smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
"Uhh From this red cloud of smoke, a large bird with red wings waving and feathers like blood red lotus gradually flashed. This large bird has a pointed beak and seven feet long, and some of these large birds also possess some kind of spirituality. In ancient rumors, a big bird with this appearance was called a phoenix. At this moment, the long wings that fluttered flew to the side of the man with the bronze mask, and stopped their fluttering wings.
The phoenix is also divided into "phoenix" and "phoenix", the phoenix is yin and the phoenix is yang. Yin and Yang complement each other, and when the phoenix is united, it is when the phoenix's ability is the strongest. The rest, whether it is a phoenix or a phoenix, are not the true king of white birds, auspicious signs.
The phoenix is a bird in people's minds, and is also known as a symbol of peace in the world. The ancients believed that when the times were peaceful and prosperous, there would be a phoenix flying, which represented the omnipresence of the wind and the meaning of spiritual power; The phoenix phoenix is also a symbol of imperial power, often used with the dragon, the phoenix is subordinate to the dragon, used for the queen's concubines, the dragon and phoenix are the most Chinese totems. It's just that this totem-like phoenix dragon is just the reverie of the common people and the royal unifiers. And the phoenix that followed this figure with a bronze mask was bathed in a red color like a blood lotus, a real phoenix that really existed!
There are also a large number of similar shapes in the folk art of the Demon Spirit Continent. The phoenix also represents yin, although the phoenix is also male and female, and more generally sees it as feminine. "Phoenix" and "phoenix" are commonly found in women's names. The phoenix is considered to be the most noble of the birds, and it is said that "the king of birds" is the king of birds. According to the five elements of yin and yang, the phoenix is red, and the five elements belong to fire. And the phoenix also has the meaning of "love" and "husband and wife" in the folk.
In ancient times, there was a scroll that said: 'The phoenix emperor is flying, and his feathers are feathered.' ’。 The phoenix communicates with the wind and can be understood as the "wind god". "Huang", the ancient sound is connected with light, and some researchers believe that it is a bird related to light, that is, the sunbird. The ancients always regarded the phoenix as a bird, so the phoenix was also transformed from the god of wind to the god of fire. "Beginner's Record" volume 30 weft book "Kong Yantu" said: "Phoenix, fire spirit".
There is also "The Crane Crown: Duwan Eighth": "The phoenix, the bird of quail fire, and the essence of yang." ”
The phoenix standing beside the bronze-masked man was covered in a vermilion, long-lasting flame like a holy flame. The phoenix chirped lowly, and the man beside it gently touched its head, and then walked forward. The phoenix rose into the air again, but it always stayed above the man in the bronze mask, watching the man's footsteps keep moving forward, jumping step by step and continuing to walk upward, without the slightest intention of stopping.
When he stepped up the last step of a hall in front of him, a faint long smile came from the top of the steps, "Haha, I knew you would come to last year's aged peach wine, would you be interested in having a drink?"
Listening to this indifferent voice, this one with a bronze mask and a black cloak fluttered in the wind, moving with the wind. He also let out a long laugh, "Okay, Your Majesty is really still so happy, it's really comfortable to be with Your Majesty, hahaha, come and let me taste this taste, but it's still mellow" After saying that, his footsteps continued to walk up, and at the end of the steps there was a small pavilion, Guang Wujun had changed into a plain and elegant white clothes, holding a black chess piece in his right hand, and there were three black chess pieces on a chessboard in front of him, and three white chess pieces. On Guang Wujun's left hand, he was playing with a silver wine jug, his face was indifferent, and he smiled for a long time.
The one in front of him was the feudal monarch Guangwujun, and his original plan was to fight a decisive battle with the sect leader of the feudal war society alone to solve the feudal civil strife this time. In this way, it can also disturb the people as little as possible and make the people's livelihood wither. And the reason why Princess Rong Le supports Guang Wujun for this act is because after all, Princess Rong Le has had too much contact with the sect leader of the Sealing War Society, and it is also the relationship between Princess Rong Le and Guang Wu Jun's support.
However, Guang Wujun didn't realize the kind of relationship between the eldest princess Rong Le and the sect leader of the Fengzhan Society. Therefore, Princess Rong Le's suggestion to her younger brother, who has suffered the most blows in the world, is not a very good proposal. If this is really the case, it is not a very wise choice for Guangwu Jun to face the Sect Master of the Sealed War Society now.
Even though he knew that it was the result of hitting a stone with an egg, Guang Wujun was not afraid, even though he knew that he was so present in Lincheng, he really could give away his life. But because of the character of happiness and revenge, Guang Wujun no longer cares about his life and death. Drinking a good wine and doing a decisive battle that is the best in the world is exactly what Guangwujun has really done for himself since he became the emperor.
Gently pouring a glass of wine, the Sect Master of the Sealing War Society shook his robe and sat in front of Guang Wujun. Two men who once fought side by side have not spoken to each other for a long, long time now. And now, Guang Wujun was holding the aged peach wine, holding the black chess pieces, and gently landed on the chessboard in front of him. Fell the seventh son on the chessboard at this time.
The Sect Master of the Sealing War Society in front of him raised his head and drank the peach wine in front of him, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. "Good wine, good wine! I didn't expect that His Majesty is still in good spirits after the passage of time!" Then, he also held the white chess piece in front of him, and the two of them began to laugh and laugh.
"At this time, the wind gallop army on the border has returned to help, I don't know why the sect leader is still attacking Zhongcheng now? Don't you know that now is not a good opportunity?" Guang Wujun held the black chess piece, bypassing a living area in the center of the chessboard in front of him, his voice was extremely calm, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. The deep eyes reveal an incomprehensible feeling.
The Sect Master of the Sealing War Society in front of him sighed softly, and his face also showed an expression of happiness and hatred, "Haha! I just like Your Majesty, but at this time, the Sealing War Association is imperative." If Your Majesty continues to insist on it, I cannot guarantee your safety. ”
"Oh, so it sounds like I'm still going to survive?" Guang Wujun's face changed for the first time with a look of surprise. He poured a glass of Taoyao liquor again, looking at the Sect Master of the Sealed War Society who was still wearing a bronze mask in front of him, Guang Wujun smiled slightly, "Why are you still unwilling to show your true face now?
The leader of the Fengzhan Society in front of him also poured a glass of peach wine again, he put a white chess piece in the opportunity position of the chessboard, and then explained helplessly: "I can't hide it, I shouldn't hide it, Your Majesty, I actually have a hard time doing this, for example, she doesn't want me to do this."
Hearing this name, Guang Wujun's heart was suddenly tightened, this name was familiar to her, and she couldn't be more familiar. The eldest princess of Rongle of the country, surnamed the name of the royal family of the country, is called Bu, and the name is "pity". Bu Lian is the name of Guang Wujun's closest eldest sister, Princess Rongle!
Guang Wujun laughed loudly, raised his head and drank the last cup of peach wine in front of him, and shook off the chessboard in front of him. The white clothes waved their wide sleeves, and their bodies stood proudly with their hands in their hands, although the expression on his face was not shocked, but in fact, he had made the final plan.
Through the ages, what can make Guangwujun really nostalgic in this world is probably the only thing left to be this "scorching" peach wine. I don't know if it's the past life or the present, it's destined that this battle is inevitable.
The Sect Master of the Fengzhan Society in front of him also drank the last remaining peach wine in front of him in one gulp. Then he gently lifted up the table and chessboard in front of him, and carefully picked up all the black and white chess pieces scattered on the ground. Only then did he open his hands and slowly split out a handful of pure white and dark blue light from the air, and from the wrapped holy light, a stalk was dotted with seven bright and transparent, even ethereal gems from top to bottom. At the top of this long sword is a string of red ribbons. When the Sect Master of the Sealing War Society really held it in his hands, the rising sun above their heads suddenly began to change color. A red cloud floated to the edge of the warm winter sun, instantly enveloping the sun's brilliance.
"Let's start," the two of them spoke almost at the same time, and Guangwu Jun let out a long laugh, "I haven't seen your seven-star sword unsheathed for many years, this battle, no matter what the outcome is, I have indeed won hahaha"
