Chapter 2: The Night of the Hundred Birds Entering the City (2)
Master Taishi shook his head, he never hesitated on this point: "If I can't even protect my closest family members, what is the use of me being a so-called Fenglin City Lord?" Xuan Chen, think about it. If you could have foreseen the extinction of ten years ago, would you have tried to prevent it from happening at the risk of retribution?"
The black-clothed envoy was silent.
For a long, long time.
All she said was, "I was too young. ”
There is no need for her to admit it positively, Master Taishi understands it very well in his heart.
"Xuan Chen, did you realize that the two of us are really alike. ”
The disheartened Xuan Chen couldn't help but give Master Taishi an eviction order: "No." We're not like. As the lord of the city, whenever you are in trouble, the first thing you think of is always to save your family's life, and you don't care about the safety of the whole city. We're not like that. Please. Now I can't open a divination divination, and I don't know who the three people who will die in the prophecy of the Tianxuan Pavilion change are. Even if this sixth finger grows well, I am afraid that it will not be able to continue divination. I have changed my life for you too many times, my spiritual power is slowly lost, and the heavens have refused to open the illusion to the future for me. ”
"Alas, Xuan Chen, your temper is still so big. ”
Master Taishi carefully looked through the items used by Xuan Chen on the top of the Star Tower, in fact, there were no items, this floor was so empty that it could no longer be empty, except for a simple small bed, a table and a star track placed on it, as well as a golden black crown that symbolized Xuan Chen's identity as a female historian, as well as a pair of bowls and chopsticks, not even a mirror.
"Xuan Chen. I've adopted you since you were very young, and you've done a lot for the city over the years. As the lord of the city, I want to thank you. But this is my last request, if the destruction of the city in the sixteen-character prophecy really happens, please be sure to keep my family safe. ”
"When Baiyu enters the city," Xuan Chen asked rhetorically, "if my mana is only enough to keep one side." Who do you want? Your family, or the wind in the city. ”
Master Taishi's face was gloomy. It's not that he hasn't thought about this question over and over again, very painfully.
"My decision hasn't changed. Master Taishi muttered, "Xuan Chen, I'm not afraid that you will say that I, the city lord, am not qualified." I'm not a good lord. Perhaps, I shouldn't have been the lord of this city at all. Before the patriarchs of the Taishi clan officially succeeded to the position of the lord of the city of Fenglin, they would receive a dream from the Golden Crow God, and immediately set sail to the sea to bring back the Golden Crow God. This covenant with Heaven was broken when I came to me. I have never, ever seen the Golden Crow God in a dream. This city lord is not right, and my name is not right. ”
"Saying that you are not qualified to be the city lord, Xuan Chen doesn't believe it. According to the time of the reincarnation of the two Jiazi, it is indeed time for the Golden Crow God to come. It must be something that is missing from the link, so you don't get the dream. Just now I have learned that the Golden Crow God sent Qi Bei to Fenglin City, and it is better for Master Taishi to go and pay a visit. I don't know what this Golden Crow Divine Envoy looks like, and what he would think if he knew that you chose to put your family on top of weighing tens of millions of people. ”
She laughed miserably, and found that she and Master Taishi had long been bound to a crumbling boat: "What am I talking about." You are the lord of the city, and I am here to assist you and obey your orders unconditionally, even if you break the prophecy to protect the Taishi family. The Golden Crow Divine Envoy really wants to blame him, and Xuan Chen can't escape at all. ”
Master Taishi said worriedly: "Can you find out Ji Er's location?" In the past few days, General Li Lun Pei of the East China Sea has sent three black flag reports, and Ji Er has not heard from him for a long time. You know that Yang'er was like this ten years ago......
Although many years have passed, Master Taishi still choked up when he thought of his dead son: "I am very worried about Ji'er's safety. ”
"The last time Xuan Chen found out where Gongzi Ji was, it was near Hai Niangniang Island. If you cross the boundary line of Hai Niangniang, even Xuan Chen's mana can't be tracked. Xuan Chen told him, "And once you enter the barrier and continue to sail east, you will reach Dongsang Island, where the Golden Crow God is located." Xuan Chen believes that Gongzi Ji will definitely live up to his mission and invite the Golden Crow God. ”
"What about the Golden Crow Divine Envoy who appeared tonight?" Master Taishi was a little confused.
"Xuan Chen never knew about the Golden Crow Divine Envoy. She frowned, a little suspicious, "I have to invite him to meet him at the Star Tower to find out the reason for the matter." ”
"Okay, I'll go back and make arrangements. "Master Taishi immediately had a plan.
Xuan Chen was so tired that he didn't want to speak: "Xuan Chen is tired." Wait for your fingers to get better, and Xuan Chen will open a hexagram for you. There is another matter, please give me some convenience, Xuan Chen wants to strengthen the city defense and prevent Baiyu from entering the city, and the ghosts of the goldfish clan on the rocky mountain in the west, they have been trying to sneak in and kill. ”
Master Taishi immediately responded: "How many people do you want, just tell me." ”
"No, mortal swords and guns are not enough. Do you still remember that along the waterway in the city, many goldfish suddenly appeared on the Taishi Mansion? Gongzi was almost bitten, and the little boy was sick after being pecked, and Madame was also frightened. ”
Master Taishi sighed again and again: "Do you have any other way? I have already asked someone to paste the yellow talisman, and also decocted it into medicine for the two of them to take every day, why is it that it has not been good until now? When I see the Golden Crow Divine Envoy, I will beg him." How are you going to strengthen the city's defenses, and what do you want me to do?"
"Fenglin City is buried in the ancient Ten Golden Crow Formations left by the Golden Crow God, I have already sent Xu Yi and Xin Lin to find the whole city, I have to borrow some people from you, and I have to ask the city defense generals to give Xu Xin and the two some convenience. In addition, the sixteen-character prophecy has already caused panic in the whole city, and it is not appropriate to announce it in search of the Ten Golden Black Array. I heard that the Taishi Mansion has sent people to search for Xuantong monks, I am afraid that it will not be easy to pull out the weeds and eradicate the roots for a while, and if his disciples continue to walk in the city, the rumors must be extinguished as soon as possible. ”
"This is natural. I've sent someone to take strict precautions. Master Taishi nodded, and then couldn't help but sigh, and began to choke as he spoke, "Xuan Chen, I know that you are dissatisfied from time to time, blaming me for slaughtering your people, blaming me for being too small-minded and only caring about the safety of my family, but you still go all out to help me." I really, I don't know how to thank you. ”
"Not necessarily. The black-clothed envoy narrowed the distance and put on an unapproachable estranged posture, "I'll help you, just because you are the Lord of the Wind City." He has a trusted successor in the future, and Xuan Chen will naturally leave you. ”
"Good. Good. Master Taishi sighed twice, "I really want to know what the dream entrusted by the Golden Crow God looks like." I heard my grandfather talk about it, and I still remember it vividly. He said that in his dream that night, the golden light appeared, and the golden crow god flew from the East China Sea with colorful auspicious clouds, and the waves were dyed with all kinds of colors, and all things in heaven and earth were amazed! The golden crow god landed on the rocks by the sea, the musicians played joyful songs, the dancing girls were light, and there were no more crises and disputes in the city, and the people were peaceful and peaceful from then on. That's really a picture of the prosperous scene. ”
