Volume 1 Flowers, Birds, Fishes and Insects Chapter 56 The Late Southern Song Dynasty
The cold air drifted away, the stone boat could fall to the ground, and in the small lake where the boat surface had been frozen, the red mangs seemed to have been released, struggling violently, the ice surface was crisp and bursting, and cracks appeared again.
As the cracks continued to expand, the demons in the sealed iron cages that had been climbing along the lake to the iron cables also roared wildly, and for a while, Penglai shook and the ice chips scattered.
Suzaku didn't dare to be distracted at all, the true qi in his body fluctuated like waves, and the blue aura on the body of the glazed immovable venerable on his side was even worse, and the blue cold qi of the Dao Dao penetrated into the ice with the palm of his hand.
Your Excellency Zhenjun, the one hundred and thirty-seventh generation sect master of Penglai Immortal Sect, and the last generation sect master of Penglai Immortal Sect, Peng Xinglai, sat with his head bowed and silently.
Uribazi looked at Peng Xinglai, who had died, and bowed his head and was silent.
The prairie children galloped freely, not caring about life and death, but as soon as his daughter was born, Uribazi suddenly put away his ambitions, and wanted to live to the gray hair, watching the little girl in his arms start a family and start a business, and be happy for a lifetime.
But the daughter is extremely weak, the witch doctor in the clan bluntly said that he will not live for three years, his wife is grief-stricken, and Uribazi can only hold his little daughter and ask for famous doctors all over the world, but they are helpless.
It was this old man who personally found himself and saved his daughter's life, at the cost of being a sword slave for Penglai Immortal Sect.
Although he knew that it was not good, Uribazi did not hesitate at all, and he promised to no longer distinguish between good and evil, besides, the grassland does not talk about good and evil, only victory and defeat, life and death, this time it seems that his side is losing.
"Uribazi, you have been in Penglai Immortal Sect for ten years, and now that the inheritance of Penglai Immortal Sect has been broken, you will be in my hidden prison for ten years, and then go back to the grassland. ”
Uribazi raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhong Lijiu who came with a sword,
"I have long heard from the sect master that Mr. Zhongli is a generation of true dragons, but even so, he is not qualified to be in the inner rivers and lakes, under this hidden world, make rules, right?"
The rouge scimitar was raised, a pair of tiger eyes were on fire, and he said coldly,
"Then according to the rules of your grassland, the loser will die. ”
"Hahaha"
The majestic laughter came, and Uribazi looked up, only to see a figure, with a thick long beard and chest-length, wearing a blue and gray regular robe, with his hands behind his back, as if he regarded this place as a vegetable garden, pacing slowly, looking left and right.
Yao Guangxiao stood in His Excellency the fungus, bowed to Emperor Weiwei Yongle, then turned around and pushed open the white jade door of the True Monarch Pavilion, and walked in by himself.
Walking all the way to the garden to His Excellency Zhenjun, Zhu Di looked at the tower-like Uribazi, stroked his beard and admired,
"Very good, you have the demeanor of your ancestor Temujin, but, in the land of Daming, in this Jinling City, you don't abide by the laws of Daming?"
Temujin's descendants, when they saw the Yongle Emperor of the current dynasty, put away their rivers and lakes, and the dignity in the blood of the golden family made him straighten his waist, put away his long knife, and bowed to the Yongle Emperor, his voice was respectful, but it was never lower,
"Uribazi, I've seen the Ming Emperor. ”
Emperor Yongle nodded slightly, pointed at Peng Xinglai, and said lightly,
"The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the court also has the laws of the court, he wants to fly to the sky, as long as the rules of the rivers and lakes do not disturb my Ming law, I will naturally not care. Since you are an accomplice, you deserve your punishment. ”
Uribazi's face was gloomy and uncertain, a little cold light flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to make a move, Rouge snorted coldly, and as soon as the scimitar shook, he was about to fly up, Zhongli Jiu raised his hand to stop it, coughed lightly, nodded towards Emperor Yongle, and said to Uribazi,
"Three months, three months later, come to the hell by yourself, you can do whatever you want for these three months. ”
Seeing that Uribaqi's eyes lit up and his face hesitated, the corners of Emperor Yongle's mouth were raised, he reached out and patted Uribaqi's majestic shoulder, laughed, and walked into the True Monarch Pavilion.
Zhongli Jiu nodded to Rouge and walked towards the lake, just two steps away, he saw Tie Lingshuang walking over with a spear and a cold face, and couldn't help but sigh,
"I don't have the time to fight you right now. ”
Don't talk nonsense with him, Tie Lingshuang no longer suppressed his anger and shouted loudly,
"You said, I have full authority to hold the jade, and now that he has run away, what do you want to say?"
The thick blood qi drifted in, Zhongli Jiu's body was covered in blood, and Tie Lingshuang passed by, and a faint voice came,
"He was seriously injured, chased by Zhang Tie, and couldn't escape. ”
Walking to the small lake, Zhong Lijiu looked down at the three-foot red light that was like a snake swimming in the ice, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, and nodded to the Suzaku who was still trying to maintain it, Suzaku breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his palms, flew to Zhong Lijiu's side, and asked anxiously,
"Commander, your injuries?"
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhong Lijiu chuckled,
"Fortunately, I can barely get to a tie with the Iron Girl, and I can't die. ”
Suzaku's slender eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Tie Lingshuang who was rushing up angrily, and looked up and smiled, his head full of green hair flying.
Tie Lingshuang didn't make a move, just stared at a green-haired Vermilion Finch, and opened his mouth to ask,
"When and where did you meet my sister?"
Sister, Suzaku was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Zhong Lijiu turned to face him,
"The information of the peacock imprint, I will go back and tell her everything you know, now get down to business, you go down and freeze the cage." ”
Suzaku's eyes lit up, he came back to his senses, and stared at Tie Lingshuang who raised his eyebrows rather strangely, then nodded yes, and disappeared.
Tie Lingshuang glanced at Zhong Lijiu coldly,
"I'm going to know now!"
Zhong Lijiu shook his head, and a faint voice came,
"You get out of the way. ”
After speaking, with a flick of his fingers, a burst of energy exploded, directly breaking through the ice. The red light in the ice, which was already struggling with all its might, suddenly broke free from the prohibition, and the breath was violent and ferocious, and the ice splashed between the roars.
Tie Lingshuang's spear slapped away a piece of broken ice, looking at the red light revealing its body, all covered in blood red, like a stream of water, and the blood-red body flashed with a little blue light during the turning, and a cold aura came to his face.
"What is this?"
Zhong Lijiu's left hand tiger claw, dragged on his chest, the five fingertips flashed with a subtle light, the breath of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth overflowed, as the light flickered, thin lines crisscrossed in the palm of his hand, weaving into a two-inch five-pointed cage.
The five elements trap the dragon, and the five elements of true qi turn into a cage, which can trap the true dragon.
Knowing that the real body of the person in front of him is a dragon, and it is indeed a monster, it seems that he was not wrong when he was a child, but is he using the five elements of Qingcheng Mountain to trap himself? Tie Lingshuang narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically,
"The Five Elements Trapped Dragon of Qingcheng Mountain, are you trying to trap yourself?"
Zhong Lijiu smiled and said nothing, his right hand raised his sword fingers, A warm water light spread at his fingertips, turning into chains, enveloping the entire lake, Tie Lingshuang stood three steps beside him, looking at Zhong Lijiu's fingers trembling slightly with the struggling roar of the essence blood, the tip of the spear groaned softly, and said lightly,
"I'll do it now, even if I can't kill you, I should be able to hurt you a point, right?"
Looking sideways at Tie Lingshuang's phoenix eyes raised, he glanced at himself obliquely, Zhong Lijiu said lightly,
"The stupidest thing in the world is self-righteousness. ”
How can this be reasonable, there is no doubt that this person was seriously injured, and now there is only himself by his side, and he dares to be generous, but he thinks that he has always been quite three feet away from him, and he pondered viciously for a while, but he still put down his thoughts, looked at the three-foot red mang, and thought about it non-stop.
"This is the blood of the real dragon, which contains sufficient spiritual energy, and the jade pendant in the hand of the jade holder is to engrave this dragon blood into the Kunlun chalcedony. Monsters who have not passed the thunder tribulation, as long as they swallow a drop and become a demon, they will naturally be suppressed when they encounter this real dragon itself, and basically have no ability to shoot. ”
Tie Lingshuang remembered that the eyes of the demons under Shizhou were dull, and she was suspicious, and asked lightly,
"It's just suppression, why can you control them?"
Zhong Lijiu didn't answer, watching the three-foot blood light struggle more and more violently, without the slightest hint of docile intent, he drank lightly,
"You and I are originally from the same sect, your physical body has been lost, only the essence and blood are left, if there is still a trace of wisdom, calm down, I will find a place to go, so that you can cultivate well. ”
The three-foot red mangs condensed by the blood of the true dragon seemed to have no wisdom at all, and then collided and struggled between the chains and cages, and the locked monsters in the stone boat also roared and shouted, and for a while, the entire Penglai stone boat shook non-stop, fine cracks flashed, and the broken stones kept falling.
In the Zhenjun Pavilion, Yao Guangxiao, who was looking at a withered yellow book on the first floor, stretched out his hand to support the Yongle Emperor beside him, shook his head, and a dull voice came from the Zhenjun Pavilion,
"Its wisdom has been dispersed, and it is already the blood of the demons, and it has been directly collected. ”
Zhong Lijiu, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, heard Yao Guangxiao's voice, his eyes struggled for a moment, and then became cold, and a wisp of blood floated out of his fingertips with a fine arc of electricity, and in an instant, the water lock that shrouded the entire lake suddenly turned blood red, entangled with blue and purple electric light, and a little bit of fine electric light was like a sword, rushing into the three-foot red mang, and in a moment, a terrible roar sounded.
As the sword light came, the red light shattered into a heap, floating in the air, and a little bit of dark blue light floated out, connecting with the long sword turned into electric light, and disappeared in an instant.
About a stick of incense, the cold blue light was not there, the electric light slowly dissipated, the chain gradually faded away the miserable blood red, and the clear glass appearance was restored, and the pile of red light slowly condensed into a fist-sized blood ball, the surface rippled like a dragon, and the snowflakes around the body were faintly scattered, cold, but there was no blue and gloomy atmosphere.
Zhong Lijiu's right hand shook slightly, the water chain slowly tightened and thinned, slowly dragged the blood ball in front of him, sighed, and dragged the Five Elements Trapped Dragon Lock with his left hand and stretched forward.
The breath rolled, a gravitational force dragged it, the blood ball trembled slightly, and after a moment of struggle, it calmed down, turning into a blood line like wine, pouring into the cage, and the cold breath was also isolated by the true qi cage, and gradually disappeared.
In the Zhenjun Pavilion, looking around at the exquisite carving of the white jade wall, there are no other luxurious utensils on the first floor of the attic, but a full layer of books, some are engraved on the stones, some are written on the wooden board and bamboo slips, and some are engraved on the pieces of withered yellow leaves. The text is simple and expressive, not like the current dynasty, nor like the Qin and Han dynasties, and it is quite long ago.
Emperor Yongle sighed in a little disappointment,
"Looking at the carved fence and jade pillar from the outside, I thought that the inside was extremely luxurious, but I didn't expect that it was just some ancient books, and it was better to pile up gold, so that our Daming treasury could be full. ”
Hehe smiled, Yao Guangxiao put down the large leaf in his hand, the characters engraved on it were curved like insects, it should be the Bayeux Sutra passed from the Tianzhu Treasure Elephant Kingdom, and looked at Zhu Di who sighed,
"These books are all unique thousands of years ago, and the preciousness is not much better than the "Yongle Canon", and the emperor still finds some famous ministers and Confucians to sort it out carefully. ”
The old monk's vision, Zhu Di never doubted, nodded, and walked to the second floor first, not worrying about traps at all, there was an old monk behind him, Jun Linjing, and he had the six divine powers of Buddhism, beside him, it was not Jun Linjing, and he couldn't hurt at all.
The sky is dark, the inner wall of the Zhenjun Pavilion is also inlaid with luminous pearls, with the warm white light, the two of them walked around the flowers, all the way up, the other layers are nothing more than some hidden books, smelling the faint fragrance of books, Emperor Ming couldn't help but be a little bored, angry and rushed to the top layer, can't help but cold face.
On the top floor of the Zhenjun Pavilion, there is only one square circle, next to the window, one side of the futon, on the wall on both sides of the futon, there is a long sword hanging on one side, the scabbard is blue and gray like stone, it looks quite inconspicuous, and the other is an old tabletop, on which there is only a one-foot-sized sandalwood box.
This, this is too simple, people who cultivate immortals, they are really poor, it seems that they can only demolish this Zhenjun Pavilion and sell the jade walls outside, I don't know if it is enough for a provincial tax revenue.
Yao Guangxiao stepped up, saw the long sword hanging on the wall, his eyes were slightly condensed, walked closer, looked carefully, the scabbard was blue and gray, and the mottled lines were depicted into a big mountain, the mountain was continuous like a dragon, stretching to the hilt of the sword, and suddenly raised a majestic peak.
Yao Guangxiao understood in his heart, reached out and took off the long sword, held it in the palm of his hand, looked at it carefully, nodded slightly, held the hilt of the sword, and used a slight force, the sword body was exposed, a faint blue light spread out, and the long sword in his hand was suddenly heavy.
The wrist sank slightly, and a crisp cracking sound came from under his feet, and the stone surface paved with warm jade actually cracked, Yao Guangxiao narrowed his tiger eyes, smiled lowly, and closed his long sword.
Zhu Di on the side was looking at the wooden box on the table, and was about to reach out to open it, when he heard the sound under his feet, he looked back, and saw Yao Guangxiao, who had always been pulling his face, holding the blue-gray long sword with a lot of joy, and couldn't help but stare at it.
"Old monk, is this sword any kind of treasure?"
Holding the long sword and walking in front of Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao nodded,
"Great Qin unified the six countries, the first emperor Ying Zheng ordered Li Si to build a jade seal of the country with the He's bi, the jade seal wandered and wandered, until the Jianwen of this dynasty after a fire in the palace, disappeared without a trace. ”
The battle of Jingyan, bypassing Jinan, went straight to the capital, the army besieged the city, and his emperor's nephew burned the imperial city with the last fire, and then the jade seal of the country disappeared with the people.
The jade seal used now is to invite a famous craftsman to re-carve it according to the style of the jade seal of the country, the appearance is the same, the handwriting is the same, all are "ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", the heart is always not a taste.
The name is not right, the word is not good.
Zhu Di lowered his face, stared at the long sword in Yao Guangxiao's hand lightly, and said unhappily,
"My nephew is missing, and the jade seal inherited from the Qin Dynasty has also disappeared, could it be that this sword can allow me to find the jade seal?"
The two have been going all the way for many years, Yao Guangxiao knew that the emperor was sick, and shook his head gently,
"This is the Sword of the Son of Heaven, Tai'a. ”
Qin Shi Huang wore two swords, the edict was the sword of the Son of Heaven, a piece of cloth, buried with the first emperor, and the other Tai'a, hung in the Xianyang Palace, two swords and a seal, all were listed as imperial symbols.
The jade seal of the country disappeared without a trace, and the Tai'a sword that was handed down to the Southern Song Dynasty destroyed the country, and disappeared with Lu Xiufu carrying the young emperor Zhao Yu into the vast waves in the Battle of Yashan.
The Yuan Dynasty once sent tens of thousands of people who were good at water to search for many years in the rolling waves under the cliff mountain, digging out countless sand and stones, but they couldn't find a trace, and they didn't want to be here.
"Hahaha"
Zhu Di looked up to the sky and laughed, I just saw the illusory fish intestine sword today, I didn't expect to find the real Tai'a Tianzi Sword in this Penglai Immortal Mountain, it was really worth the trip, the jade seal of the country was not there, there was the Son of Heaven Sword on the side, and it could also make up for the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
Stretched out his hand to take the long sword, and was about to reach out and pull it out, but Yao Guangxiao stretched out and grabbed it, shook his head, and followed Yao Guangxiao's fingers to look at the crack on the white jade surface,
"The sword of admonition, Tai'a is a mountain, the sword is extremely heavy, the long sword is out of the sheath, there is no great power, and it can't drag this Jiuding Central Plains. It can be placed in the palace, hung on the waist, and unsheathed, unless the emperor wants to crawl and walk. ”
Ignoring Zhu Di, who was frowning, Yao Guangxiao walked to the table, stretched out his hand to open it, and when he saw the Sword of the Son of Heaven, he already had a trace of speculation in his heart.
"Dragon robe?"
If you don't pull it out, you won't pull it out, the meaning of the existence of the sword is greater than pulling it out, Zhu Di let go of his regrets, proudly carried the sword of the Son of Heaven, and looked back at the box.
A neatly stacked piece of clothing inside, with black as the base and silver thread as the edge, depicts the rising clouds, the silk and gold threads shuttle, embroidered into a majestic dragon head.
The dragon robe looks very small, it should be worn by children at the time, and the color style is not the silver dragon with the bright yellow as the base of the current dynasty, nor is it the dragon with teeth and claws in the previous dynasty Dayuan period, which looks like the dragon robe of the Song Dynasty.
Yao Guangxiao nodded,
"It seems that the last sect master of Penglai Immortal Sect should be surnamed Zhao. ”
Zhao Qian, Sun Li's Zhao, Zhao Kuangyin's Zhao.
As an emperor, he is naturally more familiar with the kings of the past dynasties than ordinary people, the sword of the Son of Heaven is on the side, the dragon robe is in the box, Zhu Di pondered slightly, the eighteen emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty swept over his heart, and the young emperor Zhao Yu.
The Yuan general Zhang Hongfan fought with the Southern Song Dynasty naval army in Yashan, Guangdong, and was defeated, and Lu Xiufu carried the eight-year-old young emperor Zhao Yu into the sea, and since then, the Great Song Dynasty that has lasted for 319 years has come to an end.
The Battle of Yashan is one hundred and thirty years away, and the Yuan army has searched for ten years, but has not found the remains of Emperor Song.
Zhu Di glanced at the dragon robe in the box a few times, shook his head and chuckled,
"This Zhao Yu was the last sect in the Song Dynasty, and the Penglai Immortal Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years, is also the last sect. ”
A figure hunted, flying to the Penglai stone boat, it was Zhang Tie, carrying a bloody jade in his hand, Du Mu, who was holding jade with a leisurely breath, walked to the small lake, raised his hand and threw the jade at his feet, and whispered to Zhong Lijiu,
"The sea of waste gas, people still have a trace of breath. ”
Zhong Lijiu nodded, looking at Tie Lingshuang, who couldn't hold back the murderous aura around him, stretched out his toes and kicked Yu Du Mu,
"You and Qi Chen take him back to the underworld, whether you live or die, what you can ask depends on your own skills. ”
