The setting sun stained the heavens and the earth with blood, and the remnants of the Divine Bird City were still noisy, and Gu Que and Han Qiu walked all the way, seeing more ruins than intact.

And this is not the weakness of the tide receding, but the turbulence of the white marks that have just come out.

Where the rocks are piled up, the delicate green buds break through the shackles, eager to suck the warm sunset.

The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times.

Gu Que only realized the meaning of this sentence at this moment, but he did not have Yang Shen's compassion after returning to his heart, but a kind of rebirth.

Just like the blood phoenix bathing in fire, just like the divine dragon nirvana, the Divine Bird City will eventually be reborn.

Civilians all around cast respectful glances, including old people and children.

After Gu Que and Han Qiu glanced at each other, their figures moved, stood on a high-rise building that had just been built, looked at the crowd of people, and said loudly: "About seventy years ago, when I returned to Shenque City, I once said a word to Qingshan. ”

"I said that any great civilization needs to go through one calamity after another, and will go through the process of germination, development, peak, decline, and annihilation. ”

"While other civilizations have been submerged in history, great civilizations have been reborn from annihilation, found the meaning of existence, and continued to pass on the torch and pass on their bloodline. ”

"Civilization, like a person, is never born great, but gradually becomes great in its development and growth. It's a long process. ”

Everyone looked at Gu Que blankly, their faces reflected red by the sunset, exuding the brilliance of hope.

Gu Que said with a smile: "When I first stepped into the cultivation world, I was chased and killed everywhere by a group of ordinary corpse clans, and when I met Xuanyuan Chen, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, running faster than anyone else. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The crowd laughed.

Gu Que shook his head and couldn't help but smile: "Later, I was really afraid of where I went, I was too weak, and many people could easily wipe me out, but I didn't give up, so I came to this day, and I have Shenque City." ”

"One or two calamities are nothing, people have to learn to be strong, you have done a good job, I am sincerely proud. ”

He looked at everyone and sighed: "Looking at the eight states in the world, there are many heroes in Dongzhou and Huangzhou, including the emperor, who is also as shining as the stars, while the emperor of Xuanzhou is much inferior. This is the influence of national character, and it is also the soil and water that give birth to people. ”

"Dongzhou is adjacent to Tuhai, there are many wars, Huangzhou is barren, and there is a threat of fire, so it has created their national character. Xuanzhou is located in the center of the mainland, and the cultural development is very good, but it is 'outside the mountain, Qingshan Building, West Lake, when to rest'. ”

"Born in sorrow, dying in peace, everything now only makes us stronger. ”

"Yes, where the wound heals, the strongest muscles will grow. ”

"Roar!"

The people around him shouted, their blood boiling, and they waved the utensils in their hands.

And Gu Que said again: "The world is very vast, the universe is very deep, we will go to the more vast starry sky sooner or later, at that time, I hope you will join me to witness the changes of the times." ”

"Long live Your Majesty!"

The sound swept like a tide, Gu Que took Han Qiu's hand and slowly walked up to the Divine Bird Mountain.

On the top of the Divine Bird Mountain, on the Dragon Bird Platform, two large flags hunt in the wind, one is the banner of the Dragon Bird Alliance, and the other is the banner of the Zhongzhou Divine Bird.

The country is breaking mountains and rivers, these two flags are the soul of Zhongzhou, they are there, Zhongzhou will not fall.

Han Qiu tidied up Gu Que's clothes and left slowly.

Their tacit understanding is already very deep, and there is no need for Gu Que to explain anything.

He sighed, walked into the basement inside the Divine Bird Mountain, and walked down step by step, with lone lights flickering on both sides, and finally reached the end.

At the end, a large figure sat cross-legged, quietly looking at the cold stone wall.

The stone wall had already cracked several large openings, and although it was protected by the strongest formation of the Heavenly Age, it was inevitable that it would be affected.

Xue Qingshan seemed to feel something, his figure was shocked, he turned his head, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Qingshan has seen the master. ”

"Get up. ”

Gu Que waved his hand and said, "You are also almost two hundred years old, and you have also reached the god level." ”

Xue Qingshan said: "No matter how geometrical the Qingshan life wheel is and what the strength is, the master will always be the master." ”

Gu Que nodded, and also saw the wrinkles in the corners of Xue Qingshan's eyes, and said slowly: "Qingshan, how long have you been under my door?"

Xue Qingshan hurriedly said: "It has been one hundred and fifty-one years since Qingshan worshiped under the master's sect. ”

"Time is like a knife!"

Gu Que said: "I still remember the scene when I saw you on Time Island, I can't imagine that so many years have passed, and now that you have a wife, and you have children and grandchildren, how did you feel?"

Xue Qingshan bowed his head and said: "Life is like a reverse journey, you must always remain humble, maintain your original intention, do your part well, and take a long-term view." ”

Gu Que sighed: "Pretty standard answer, but you know I didn't mean to hear that. ”

Xue Qingshan raised his head, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and said loudly: "Look up to the sky, bow down to the ground, and be ashamed of your heart." ”

"That's right. ”

Gu Que turned his head, strode out, and said, "Follow me." ”

Xue Qingshan hurriedly followed, and the two walked through the dark corridor tunnel, and finally walked out of the cave and saw the vast world.

It was dusk, and darkness had descended, rising from afar, rapidly devouring the only light.

Gu Que said: "See? This is the mountains and rivers after the war, broken and in urgent need of rescue." ”

Xue Qingshan took a deep breath, but did not speak.

Gu Que smiled: "It is not easy for me to create this foundation, the birth of Zhongzhou has also experienced many twists and turns, with today's status, in fact, there is your governance work, but most people do not recognize you, only recognize me." ”

"Because I am the founding emperor and the first person to give them happiness. ”

"But now it's different, the world is declining, civilization is collapsing, and it's your chance. You need to lead them to face life again and regain happiness. ”

"In this way, I am the emperor of the founding of the country, you are the emperor of Zhongxing, I open up the earth, and you save the danger. In this way, these people will remember you, and they will really recognize you, and at that time, you will be the real king of this land!"

Hearing this, Xue Qingshan immediately knelt down and shouted, "Qingshan, thank you, Master." ”

Gu Que said: "There is an ancient saying, self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world, and it is also said that it is the heart of heaven and earth, the life of the people, the continuation of learning for the saints, and the peace for all generations, do you know its meaning?"

Xue Qingshan hugged his fists and said: "Qingshan has a solution, but please ask the master to solve the puzzle." ”

Gu Que looked at the lonely lights in the darkness, and said slowly: "Self-cultivation is to do a good job of oneself first, and the Qi family is to manage the family well, and then to cure a country, and then to set one's eyes on the world." ”

"What is it to be oneself well? It is to find a piece of Dan heart for heaven and earth, and it is the embodiment of the will of the world. What is the will of the world? It is the will of all the people, and it is the destiny of the people. Then, inherit the glory of the past and open the peace of eternity. ”

"Step by step, no impatience, no impatience. Step by step, from small to large, from narrow to wide, slowly do a good job in each step, to become great. ”

"This is the emperor. ”

He looked back at Xue Qingshan and said, "You have done a good job yourself, and you also have a family, take care of your home first, handle it well, family style, family education...... The emperor's family, for the world to emulate, you can manage your own family well, it is possible to manage the country well. Only when the country is well managed can it be possible to establish a peaceful order in the world. ”

"You're young, you have time to be great. ”

Xue Qingshan's eyes were red, and he kowtowed three times at Gu Que, and said in a trembling voice: "What the master said, Qingshan remembers, don't dare to forget." ”

Gu Que nodded, raised his head, stretched out his right hand, and a row of large characters was already burned into the void.

Xue Qingshan raised his head and saw that it was written: "Xue Qingshan, the prince of Zhongzhou, has worked hard for a hundred years to stabilize Zhongzhou, make extraordinary achievements, and make great contributions to the peace and development of Zhongzhou." Its martial arts have been channeled, its ability has covered the ground, its morality is disciplined, and its heart is all-encompassing. ”

"I have been the emperor for more than 100 years, I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I have the great responsibility of heaven, so I can't open it. Therefore, this legend is located in the crown prince Xue Qingshan, the second emperor of Zhongzhou, with the will of the people, reviving in the world, and opening the peace of all generations. ”

The big golden characters shone brightly and spiraled upward, illuminating the dark night like the sun.

All the people shouted loudly, shouting one by one over and over again, and their voices rushed into the sky like angry water.

Gu Que turned his head to look at Xue Qingshan and said, "Did you see it? You are still not recognized, but I have done enough for you." Ten years from now, I want to see that everyone in this land is convinced and in awe of you, can you do it?"

Xue Qingshan's face was extremely solemn, and he said solemnly: "Qingshan will live up to the expectations of his master, work hard, and rejuvenate Zhongzhou." ”

Gu Que nodded and said, "The Wing Dragon Pegasus Clan and the Sin Forest Clan, I won't say anything, how to conquer it, how to make them respect you as much as they respect me, it depends on your ability." ”

"For the emperor, the pattern is the first, the wisdom is second, and the force is the second. The so-called domain people do not use the boundaries of the territory, the country does not use the danger of mountains and streams, and the world does not take the benefits of the military revolution, which is the case. ”

"You have a good understanding, and you can appreciate it! This land is your land. ”

Xue Qingshan finally shed tears, gritted his teeth and said: "Qingshan knows that the responsibility of a country is as heavy as Mount Tai, and there will be no slackness, please rest assured." ”

Gu Que smiled: "Ning Buregret and Ning Ding are still locked up, it's almost over, let it go." Your wife, children, strict discipline, I don't want Zhongzhou to have no successor. ”

"Yes, Master. ”

Xue Qingshan clenched his fists, and Gu Que said lightly: "As the Emperor of Zhongzhou, I will give you the last order, here, on this dragon bird platform, overlooking the earth for three days and three nights." ”

He spoke, striding away.

He heard the sound of kowtowing behind him, and his heart was infinitely emotional.

Qingshan, the child, did not disappoint him, everyone has their own way to go, Qingshan's road is obviously more difficult and bumpy than Luo Li's road.
