ACT215: The Jade of the Ancient Sages

"Have you heard? We're going to talk to the Japanese. ”

"Peace talks? Whom are you talking to? This battle has just begun, and we are done before we have any strength? ”

"That's it! The losses of the two fleets of the West Wind and the Far East this time are so great that those Japanese must not be spared! ”

"But the problem is that the news came from Earth five days ago, and our ambassador had already left for Tokyo, Japan. This took the initiative to go to other people's land for peace talks...... Isn't that a good sign! ”

"The emperor, he ate the wrong ...... His Majesty is confused, right? ”

Although there was a considerable delay in news between the mainland and the colonies, the news of the peace talks reached the Jupiter colony five days after the Tang Dynasty agreed to hold peace talks with Japan, and the front-line troops all talked about it. Everyone felt that the previous defeat was a shame, but the Tang army still had enough strength to continue fighting until the final victory was obtained.

Talking to the other party now is no different from admitting cowardice!

For this reason, the front-line army was preparing to petition the emperor to retract his order, and even several naval academies participated in this activity. Zhao Jian, as an "insider" who knew a little about the inside story, although he was not optimistic about this petition, in order not to become an "outlier" who was excluded from others, he still signed his name on the petition, and then continued to make trouble with his carrier-based plane.

However, not long after Zhao Jian finished signing, a familiar sense of presence suddenly appeared in his perception range, and the general location was on the side of the campus port. It was already close to this distance before it was discovered, indicating that the other party had deliberately hidden his aura before, as if he was afraid of alarming Zhao Jian in advance and giving him a chance to escape in advance.

"Tsk! As for ......"

Leaving the ground hangar of the school, Zhao Jian went straight to the school gate port, after the West Wind and the Far East Fleet were transferred to Beixing Island, the aircraft carriers of the Northern Fleet moved here, and the original ship Zhao in the port knew each other. And he is no stranger to the newcomer, it is the flagship of the SAR fleet, the Nanjing, the largest tonnage and fastest destroyer in Datang and even the whole world!

Zhao Jian looked up at the bow of the Nanjing, and saw a certain giant god soldier at a glance, and the two sides met again on the dock!

"General Huang, why did you even come to the front line?"

"I'm here to find you at the front."

"Uh...... What are you looking for me? ”

"I'm looking for you to help, come with me!"

“……”

couldn't help but step forward and grab Zhao Jian, and the Yellow Emperor directly dragged him onto the boat. Although the other party looks like an ordinary girl, she is essentially a genuine "humanoid giant god soldier". The staff on the dock inexplicably saw the Nanjing coming in a hurry. Then he didn't stop for 10 minutes and hurried away again.

"Hey, hey! Is there such a hurry? Can't even let me prepare a little!? ”

"Time waits for no one, and it may be too late to delay even one second longer."

"Then you have to tell me, who am I going to save?"

"The person I want you to save is the Spirit Sect!"

Just a week ago, when Lingzong was dealing with the music, he suddenly fainted in the study, and the Yellow Emperor, who rushed to hear the news, looked at Lingzong's chest, and his face suddenly sank. She hurriedly pushed away the helpless Imperial Doctor and pressed her hand on Lingzong's chest. After a few minutes, the other party's complexion turned rosy again, but the Yellow Emperor himself seemed to be about to collapse.

After Lingzong woke up, he ordered all the palace people present at the time not to reveal the news that he had fainted by half a word, after letting everyone except the Yellow Emperor quit Lu. Lingzong asked the other party a simple but heavy question.

"How much time do I have?"

"There will be half a month at most, and if it's short, it's ......"

"Looks like I'm going to have to hold on tighter."

"Your Majesty, you need to rest now."

"I'll get some rest when 'it' stops."

He smiled and patted his chest. Lingzong returned to his desk and continued to bury his head in the piles of government affairs, and the Yellow Emperor stared at the other party for a long time. Leaving the study silently, she decided to help the other party again.

"Do you know why the Tang Dynasty Li Clan has not produced a faint monarch for thousands of years?"

In the battle conference room of the Nanjing, the Yellow Emperor suddenly asked Zhao Jian.

"Is it because of that thing on the emperor's chest?"

"You noticed."

"So obvious, how could I not notice? The first time I met the saint, I almost thought I had run into Iron Man. ”

"Iron Man? What is that? ”

"Uh...... A not-so-famous American comic. ”

The Yellow Emperor told Zhao Jian that the ball of light on Lingzong's chest was called "Ancient Sage's Jade", and it was precisely because of its existence that the Tang Li royal family had all 42 consecutive monarchs since Tang Xuanzong Li Longji were Ming monarchs with the talent to govern the country. This thing belongs to a memory storage device developed by ancient people, and was used to prevent "amnesia", that is, a "mobile hard drive" that can be connected to the human body before they were converted into energy bodies.

During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the treasure hunters who specialized in searching for the core of the gods accidentally found a piece of treasure in a cave and presented it to Xuanzong Li Longji. At that time, the Yellow Emperor, who had already awakened, recognized this thing as a "USB flash drive" of the ancient people at a glance, and told Li Longji how to use it.

So Xuanzong became the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty to use this piece of jade, and successfully passed on his governing talents to the crown prince Li Heng through the treasure. The 42 emperors after this have used the wisdom of kings that have been passed down from generation to generation to continue the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty to today, more than 1,000 years later.

However, using this piece of jade is not without risk!

From the beginning of its design, this memory device was specially prepared for the ancestors of Gendaya, and although humans can barely use it, there is a general problem of "compatibility". And the reason why this is the case is mainly because the ancient man who designed this device was a human slave who liked the "cute system"! The other party thinks that "little confusion" is one of the rare cuteness of human beings, so he doesn't want the cuteness of his baby to be reduced because of this.

Fortunately, Zhao Jian and the Yellow Emperor didn't know the truth of the Dao, otherwise they would have to kneel for the teasing inventor!

"In the Tang Dynasty, only me, Emperor Yan and the emperors of each generation know the existence and role of this piece of jade. The reason why I am telling you now is because I know the truth, because that thing will definitely not hide from your eyes, so it is better for me to explain it to you now, rather than making you guess or even make some dangerous moves. ”

"Then what do you say you want me to save the Spirit Sect? Won't it ...... Let me make up for him, right? ”

As soon as he thought that he was going to "replenish ♂ the demon" for a man, Zhao Jian's mind suddenly flashed some images that made him shudder. Although the Yellow Emperor, who could also feel the brainwaves of others, didn't understand why the other party would have such tangled mood swings in an instant, he still continued to explain to him about the Jade of the Ancient Sages.

"Once a human body is implanted with the Jade of the Ancient Sages, it will fall into a state of suspended animation for a period of time due to the fusion effect. At that time, I only knew how to use the Dao, and I didn't know what kind of reaction this thing would cause, Xuanzong fell to the ground on the spot after using the treasure jade, and he didn't have any breath on the spot, and he woke up in the mourning hall seven days later. Xuanzong knew that he had been 'dead' for 7 days, and he didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he used the nickname, which became a royal tradition and has been used to this day. ”

"And what do you mean by compatibility? Is it because of this that the Spirit Sect is in danger? ”

"That's right! The current situation of the Spirit Sect is indeed caused by compatibility. After implantation, Baoyu will cause certain physiological disorders in the human body, and the degree of disorder varies from person to person. Like Lingzong, he was implanted with the Jade of the Ancient Sages when he was 5 years old, and by the time he was 20 years old, his physical growth had completely stopped, otherwise how could he be so young when he was almost 40? ”

"Uh...... For many people, this problem is a good thing that they can't ask for! ”

"If it was just a simple appearance to stop aging, it wouldn't be a big deal, but after 7 years, a second adverse reaction appeared. Lingzong is only 39 years old this year, but his internal organs are already as old as a centenarian, and a man in the prime of life can't even eat as much as a 7-year-old Princess An Meng. ”

According to the Yellow Emperor, the most important criterion for the Tang Li family to select the heir to the throne is compatibility with the jade of the ancient sages and character, personal ability is secondary, anyway, with the experience of dozens of previous Ming monarchs, the ability after ascending the throne will definitely not be bad. With such clear conditions, coupled with the two prisoners of Yan and Huang, it should be a very simple thing to choose the prince, but the actual situation is far from being as easy as imagined!

When the Rebellion of the Six Kings had just begun, if the Yellow Emperor was willing to intervene to stop it, then the bad situation would not have happened after that. But among the 6 princes, it is the seventh prince who has the best compatibility, but the other party is also the most ambitious. The Yellow Emperor didn't want him to rule the Tang Dynasty and lead the whole country to the abyss of war like Napoleon in Europe, causing the whole world to suffer, so he hoped that the remaining princes could compete with each other, and those who were capable would live there!

It was she who was confused at this time, and the rebellion of the Six Kings after the disaster intensified, and when she began to want to intervene, the situation was no longer something that she could suppress as an S-level giant god soldier.

"I made a wrong decision back then, and in order to make up for this mistake and let the country stabilize as soon as possible, I knew that the child's compatibility was not good enough, but I still followed the advice of the eldest prince to let him ascend the throne, and personally implanted the jade of the ancient sages into the other party's chest. I am responsible for the country's predicament and the child's tragedy. ”

Speaking of the causes and consequences of all this, the Yellow Emperor's face was full of self-blame and loneliness. She held all this bitter water in her stomach, and Leng Buding found an opportunity to vent, so she poured it out in front of Zhao Jian.

"The current situation of the Spirit Sect is that there is no way to return to the heavens, and the only thing I can do now is to stabilize the Gu Sage Jade in his body as much as possible, and give him another month to fulfill his wish. But neither I nor the Yan Emperor's energy regeneration rate is as fast as the consumption rate, so I need you to provide me with energy. Of course! None of this was done in vain, and after the deed is done, I owe you a favor! (To be continued......)
