81. You and I are caged birds
Xia Ji walked under the moonlight of the ancient temple, the masters of the Great Light Temple were basically meditating in the Great Sun Temple, although there were many bright monks in the Hall of Living Beings here, but there were no people who could find him, after all, no one would have thought that someone would not steal the Xuan Gong and steal the scriptures.
What is the use of stealing scriptures?
Xia Ji came quietly and left quietly.
Tomorrow, the monks of the Great Light Temple will find out that the scriptures are missing, but he is already thousands of miles away.
As soon as he stepped into the wilderness, he raised his hand, and a huge shadow fell from the sky in the moonlight.
The great golden eagle descended from the sky and crawled at his feet.
Who said you have to take a carriage when going south?
He stepped on the eagle and flapped its wings.
The eagle suddenly flapped its wings and flew up.
It was late at night.
The spring is cold and the night wind is biting.
Xia Ji sat on the back of an eagle, and the rest of the distance was point-to-point, and he could ignore all routes and reach the south as fast as he could.
That's what he wants, when his eighth sister who is good at looking at qi comes to his senses, he has reached his destination.
She must have set up a lot of ambushes on the road, but sorry, her plans were about to be disrupted.
Xia Ji sat on top of the falcon, and from time to time took out a piece of meat from the dark gold cloak and threw it forward, and the falcon raised its head and ate it in one bite, and then galloped away towards the south without pausing for a moment.
Now his dark gold cloak has expanded to three cubic meters, which contains a string of three thousand worlds, a string of one thousand and eight Dharma realms, a string of one hundred and eight afflictions, and twenty strings of fourteen basic nyorai prayer beads.
In addition, there is also his Great Dark Halberd, Beast Face Swallowing Head Armor, as well as some elixirs, food, and many other essential items.
A sharp eagle's chirp pierced the sky, and night and dawn passed.
Xia Ji went directly through the mountains and rivers of Osawa...
Seven days later, he had traveled 8,000 miles and arrived at the north of the river ahead of schedule.
The early spring is the time when the ice and snow melt, looking down from a high place, the big river is turbulent, and it is gone to the east and never return, just like the great regret of life is irreparable.
The falcon circled in the clouds a few times, Xia Ji observed the scenery below, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, but took the falcon to look down on the high place, so that he could see clearly and truly.
And usually, he sleeps on the top of the mountain with this eagle demon.
In the early spring, there were many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, he hunted some hares and the like, made barbecue, ate half of his own, and gave half of the rest to the eagle demon, which was also regarded as a reward, and at night, he took out the tent, rested in the tent, and then took out the collection of books in the Great Guangming Temple and continued to read at night.
And so on and so on and on and on
On the third day, at dawn, a huge five-tooth warship was breaking through the waves of the great river, and the warship was built with five floors, more than 100 feet high, and the flags fluttered like clouds.
The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the ship was wearing a dragon robe, with an extraordinary temperament, and there was an image of looking at the world between them.
Xia Ji recognized it at a glance as the Son of Heaven - Xia Taiqian.
He came to see the Son of Heaven.
Ming Xiu plank road darkly Chen Cang, now it can be regarded as a success.
Presumably, there should be many obstacles on the way to the prince's arrival, but these have nothing to do with him.
He's already found his target, so he's waiting to meet him.
Xia Taiqian stood on the deck at the bow of the ship, accompanied by several brocade-clothed guards.
The waves were rolling, and the Son of Heaven suddenly raised his head and glanced at the golden clouds, Xia Ji patted the head of the Eagle Demon and let it fly high.
An eagle and a boat, one in the sky and one in the water, so move forward together.
Smack.
The Wuya warship docked at the largest pier in the northern city, and many soldiers lined up to meet them.
Xia Ji waited patiently, he had too many questions and needed to question the Son of Heaven.
Night.
The Son of Heaven has already moved into the temporary palace.
The moon is bright tonight.
The Son of Heaven repelled all the guards and quietly tasted wine in the courtyard.
The eagle demon's wings flapped, and a strong wind blew on the ground, making people's eyes squint slightly to avoid the wind and sand.
And in this kung fu, Xia Ji had already jumped down from a high place and landed on the glazed tiles of the eaves of the palace.
The Son of Heaven was pouring wine, and in the icy light of the moon ring, it was clearly clear that they were two glasses of wine.
"Coming?"
Xia Ji didn't hide, jumped directly from the glazed tiles, and stood in the courtyard.
The Son of Heaven looked calm, as if he was not surprised that he was here, but pointed to the other side of the stone table, and said lightly: "Sit." ”
Xia Ji did not move.
The Son of Heaven raised his eyes and said: "You and I have the name of father and son, eighteen years, it can be regarded as fate, sit down and talk first." ”
Xia Ji asked, "You killed my mother?"
"Yes, I absorbed her power, and she died as a result. ”
Xia Ji's tone was already calm, "Reason." ”
"Why?"
A hint of banter appeared on the corner of Tianzi's lips, and he muttered the "reason" a few times, and then laughed a little crazily, and after laughing, there was no movement of the guards in the distance.
The Son of Heaven said hoarsely: "I am alone in the palace, and all the guards have been driven out by me." I've seen you on the ship today, so I've been waiting for you tonight. ”
Xia Ji looked at him quietly.
The Son of Heaven said: "If you ask me the reason, then I will tell you today... I knew one thing before I ascended the throne. ”
He beckoned, motioning for Xia Ji to come closer.
But Xia Ji didn't move.
The Son of Heaven shook his head and laughed, laughing fiercely: "Old Seven, do you know that I can't actually have children. None of you are my children! None of you are related by blood except for the same mother!"
He smiled and asked, "Do you know how I feel in the palace?"
Without waiting for Xia Ji to answer, he directly roared: "Caged Sparrow!"
Then, he poured himself a drink, drank two glasses of wine, and said, "Do you know what a cage is?"
Immediately afterward, he roared again: "Thousands of years of family!"
"Do you know how I got on the throne when I wasn't originally the crown prince?"
"The family killed the crown prince and all the other princes, and sent me, a puppet, to the throne. ”
"Do you know why the family wants me to take the throne?"
"Because I was the most low-key of the princes, it seems that I am the most manipulative, and I am also the one who cannot have children. ”
"Do you know why the family wants an emperor who can't have children?"
The Son of Heaven became more and more crazy, and there was a smile in his tone.
But this smile is a little infiltrating.
"Because, they are going to take the world, what is the essence of Kowloon's succession, you understand? The essence is to divide the world between families. But the family doesn't leave waste, so except for a few concubines, you don't know, the family just wants to see which of you has the strongest ability. ”
Every word of the Son of Heaven is a shocking secret.
But he was still unsatisfied, drinking glass after glass of wine.
"Xia Ji, do you know my heart for you?
I want each and every one of you to die, and every one of you will die tragically.
So, why do I care about this world?
The more tattered the world is, the happier I am in my heart!
What does the alien invasion have to do with me, what does the common people have to do with me!
Can the common people be regarded as human beings, is there anyone else in this world besides these thousand-year-old families?
Driving tigers and devouring wolves and watching the family eat dogs is my greatest pleasure. ”
"By the way, do you know why I want to see you, why I say so much to you?"
Xia Ji said lightly: "You feel confident that you can beat me." ”
"No, don't fight yet, I'm just telling you something, and you'll be glad to hear it. ”
The Son of Heaven leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Your mother was abandoned by the head of the family, so I will deal with her.
You and your sister have also been abandoned, which is why I will leave you in the imperial capital.
What's even more interesting is that you've been labeled as a demon and an anomaly, and they see that you have what it takes to be a greedy wolf to accomplish their purpose. ”
"For what purpose?"
"I don't know. What I know is that I want to share this happiness with you, because you are the same as me, no matter how you struggle, you are this caged bird, and you can't fly out, hehahahaha. ”
