Chapter 171: Listening to the Bell

......

After Fan Xian came to this world, from the time he was still a little baby, he began to learn the nameless trick that was said to be left to him by his mother, it was a thin book with yellow pages, and the trick was divided into two volumes.

Only an irresponsible male nanny like Wuzhu would hold this dangerous trick around a baby so casually, and only a monster like Fan Xian would start practicing when he couldn't even run.

Fan Xian took a nap, then took a nap, sixteen years of napping, is sixteen years of meditation, because of greed for life and fear of death, so the perseverance is amazing, even after entering Beijing, the practice has not been a little slack. After twenty years of hard work, he has become so familiar with the nameless techniques of the upper and lower volumes that he has stopped reading since he was three years old, and all of them are deeply imprinted in his mind.

At the age of twelve, after hitting the top with five bamboos and a stick, he broke the threshold of domineering skills, and then through the life and death struggle in the following years, the meridians in the Kyoto alley behind the hanging temple were shattered.

Today, he is one of the youngest Nine Rank masters in the world. But he knew that he was not a genius like Haitang and Wang Shisanlang. It's just that the meridians in my body are a little different from the others. And it took a lot of time and energy that no one else could have paid for. Hard work pays off. Fan Xian is better than diligence.

However, he still didn't have much to do about the second half of the Nameless Technique, because the True Qi Hammer Cultivation Method in the second half of the book, as well as the trajectory, seemed so weird. Not to mention the normal people in the world, even he, a little monster with thick meridians and a different kind of difference, has no way to get started.

Yes. The sky is facing a treasure mountain. But I couldn't even find the way up the mountain. Because the clear light on the mountain attracted him, but to climb the mountain, he had to be forced to dig it up. Who can do it?

If the domineering true qi needs to be supported by the vast meridians, then the second half of the book needs to be even more terrifying. Every time Fan Xian made no progress in his cultivation. Extremely disappointed. Occasionally, it comes to me that unless there are no meridians in the whole person, or to put it another way, there are all the meridians in a person's body. Scattered between the limbs of the king's intestines. It is possible to practice the second half of the volume.

For many years, Fan Xian has been troubled by this problem. There is no way to find any possibility of a breakthrough, Uncle Wuzhu has not practiced true qi, and Jiang Nanshi occasionally said a few words vaguely with Haitang. Begonia just shook his head. Because this kind of true qi method requires a person who has no meridians. It's clearly a joke.

A man without meridians. No doubt a dead man, so this year. Fan Xian gradually faded the idea of cultivating the second half of the nameless technique, if it weren't for what Uncle Wuzhu said many years ago. Some people have practiced this skill, but they are afraid that Fan Xian will think that the sages in the second half of the volume will use it to make people laugh in horror.

However. Today, Fan Xian is outside the curtain of the Hanguang Palace, and he is clear. I was shocked to feel that kind of state, that kind of self that I had never reached. Even the realm he had seen seeped out from behind the curtain and struck his heart.

If the domineering true qi is a mountain axe. The earthly breath in the curtain is like a god holding an earth-electric blade, and the breath is more pure and exquisite, mediocre and peaceful. Dignified and upright, it comes from it, and it spreads between heaven and earth, making people feel worshipped.

Fan Xian knew that he would not admit his mistake. Because this kind of aura and the domineering true qi in his body definitely come from the same source. It's just that the realm is a few levels higher - when one has been seeking up and down for more than ten years. After pondering for a long time, he suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. His whole body stiffened, and he fell into some kind of imperceptible agitation.

Excited. He even felt a hint of fear.

......

......

His Majesty the Emperor lifted the curtain and walked out, glanced at everyone, and said softly: "The Queen Mother is tired, you go and wait outside the palace." ”

Everyone didn't know what His Majesty was going to explain, so they bowed down to accept the order, but Fan Xian was still standing in place a little dazed, half-bowing his head, looking at His Majesty's dragon robe in a daze.

The corners of the emperor's lips curled slightly, and he smiled, knowing what his son had noticed, that finger of style, if it weren't for this boy who had practiced domineering skills since childhood, where could others have such a deep understanding and be so shocked.

Fan Xian's stunned appearance at this time was actually mostly pretending, but he knew that in front of His Majesty, it was impossible to hide the horror in his heart, so he simply let go of his heart and naturally revealed the thoughts in his mind.

Your Majesty is a great master, Your Majesty has practiced the second half of the volume, and Fan Xian knows that His Majesty knows that he can know, so he has to show his shock and panic.

The emperor looked at him, and after a while, he said slowly: "You go to the East Palace and wait for me, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it later." ”

Fan Xian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, smiled slightly, and bowed back

Temple of Light. The hall was repeated and quiet at this time, in addition to lying on the bed and not being able to send out the queen mother to the end of life, there was also the emperor who was sitting quietly on the side of the bed.

The emperor sat silently beside the Queen Mother, gently holding her hand in the palm of his hand, looking down and thinking about the previous scene, the child should have known and guessed. The emperor was not prepared to continue to hide these things from Fan Xian, after all, after the battle of Dadongshan, there was no need to continue to conceal them, and except for Fan Xian, no one should be able to detect the special skills of the emperor's cultivation.

Thinking of Fan Xian's shocked expression before, the emperor's face softened, and he secretly thought that he had suffered him all these years, and he had to compensate him, but about this trick, he was afraid that he wanted to make up for it, and Fan Xian had no way to accept it.

Glancing at the Queen Mother again, the emperor's ground was a little gloomy. As Fan Xian guessed, the Great Grandmaster had no way to detect the slightest changes in the old man's body. Fei Jie solemnly delivered the drugs in the ground pressure box. It's wonderful in its own right.

The emperor sat on the edge of the bed like this. I don't know what I'm thinking. After a long time. He suddenly opened his mouth and said softly: "Mother, my son still has a lot to say to you, and there is still a lot of glory he wants to share with you......

His hand gently held the hand of the Queen Mother. The body is not very upright, but a little shrunken. Ren is the most ruthless person in the world, watching his biological mother gradually pass away. I'm afraid that there will be a little uneasiness and sadness in my heart.

A faint veil fluttered in the Hall of Light in early autumn. The emperor's face became paler and paler. Holding the Queen Mother's hand tighter and tighter, a large amount of pure and royal true qi kept pouring into the Queen Mother's body.

Maybe it's the realm of the Great Grandmaster. It can really slow down the pace of death, maybe anyone when they are dying. There will be a moment of returning to the light. The Queen Mother's eyes twitched slightly, and her eyeballs rolled slightly. It seems that he is about to open his eyes and wake up. But it always ...... Failure to open eyes.

The Emperor knew that this was the last time his mother could hear a voice. I felt a chill in my body. Properly knelt beside the bed. Holding his mother's old hand with both hands, he put his lips to the queen mother's ear. Said: "Mother." The child did not disappoint you. The bitter lotus and the Sigu sword are dead, this world. After all, it will be the ...... of the world in Daqing."

The emperor was like a child. Affectionately and reluctantly told what happened in the Queen Mother's ear, and even kept himself the secret of being the Great Grandmaster. He also said it, like a child telling his mother. I got a perfect score in my exam today.

Because he knew that the queen mother only had a very short time, he wanted her to go happier.

However, at the end of the deathbed farewell. The emperor, who had always been in front of the mountain, suddenly became a little heavy. It seems that I am thinking about some very important issues, and after thinking about it for a long time. He finally made up his mind. said in the ear of the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother." Twenty years ago. I listened to you, and twenty years later, I decided to listen to my own ...... Ann. He's a nice boy. ”

The Queen Mother, whose life is gradually extinguished, and her body is as weak as wood in her old age. I don't know if I heard this sentence and understood the earth-shattering news contained in this sentence, but the old lady's body suddenly stiffened.

The Emperor frowned. Blink to look at her mother's face.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes suddenly!

However, she tried desperately to make a sound in her throat, but she couldn't make a sound because her vocal cords were relaxed. The last burst of power in life. Still can't let her break through the life limit itself, the effect of energy and medicine. In the end, it just turned into infinite resentment in his eyes. Remorse, unwilling!

......

......

Fan Xian walked into the East Palace. Preparing in advance for His Majesty's arrival, he knew what was going to happen next. There is no doubt that it is not uncommon for father and son to kill each other in the history of the thousand-year-old continent, and his mood can't help but be a little cold, not only because of Li Chengqian's fate over the years. It is also because of the facts that I learned in the Hanguang Hall and the last words of His Majesty the Emperor.

"Something to say later. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, it turned out that Emperor Lao Tzu was the one who had practiced the nameless skill before him, and it turned out that he was the most mysterious grandmaster in the palace, no wonder he was able to come back alive from Dadong Mountain, no wonder he couldn't see Gonggong Hong in the team returning to Beijing.

It seems that the signboard of Hong Si has completed his historical mission. Your Majesty, with the dignity of the emperor and the strength of the great master, is on the top of Dadong Mountain. From the role of a prey to a hunter, coupled with Ye Liuyun, it is no wonder that Sigu Sword and Bitter Lotus have ended up like this.

He sighed, his mood was a little gloomy, and once again confirmed that His Majesty the Emperor was cold-blooded and ruthless, thinking that his meridians were all shattered that year, and he almost died, at least he was also a complete cultivator, the emperor had sent Gonggong Hong into the Fan Mansion to check on the injury, with the strength of his great grandmaster, how could he not know what was going on? Especially since he himself was also a person who practiced nameless skills......

If there is someone in the world who can break the side effects of the domineering technique, it is only the emperor, but he has never said anything, if it is not for the help of Haitang, I am afraid that at this time, he will only be paralyzed in the hospital bed, and he will not be able to afford it for the rest of his life - thinking of this, Fan Xiandi's heart is cold again.

......

......

"Father returned to the palace safely, it seems that you are not in a good mood. The crown prince Li Chengqian, sitting behind a clean table, looked at him with a gentle smile, and took a sip of the slightly cold residue

It seems that he is enjoying the last days of the world.

Fan Xian smiled reluctantly, always feeling that he seemed to have heard this sentence somewhere. It seems that all enemies can guess. I'm in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty will be there later. Fan Xian looked at Li Chengqian's eyes.

Li Chengqian did not flinch in the slightest. Today, he no longer has any other thoughts, and a few days of solitary confinement are enough for him to think through many questions. Especially the death of the queen mother and aunt one after another. Let his mood be as clear as a cold pool.

"Everybody is going to die. The queen mother died, and the aunt died. Li Chengqian slowly put down the teacup in his hand. looked at Fan Xian and said, "My father will always die in the future." It's just a matter of prioritization. ”

Fan Xian thought for a while and said softly, "The second child is also dead." ”

Li Chengqian lowered his head. He was confined to the deep palace. I didn't know what had happened in the past few days, so I immediately raised my head. said with a complicated expression: "I have been fighting with him for so many years, but I didn't expect to fight for death in the end." ”

"Let's die first, go first. Li Chengqian looked at Fan Xian and said, "Then wait for you." ”

Fan Xian laughed to himself. Know that you have each other's pride. Gently said: "Then you have to grab a good position for me." ”

Li Chengqian waved his hand very chic and said: "When people are alive, they can be as lively as possible. Death is a lonely thing. Of course, you have to grab your own position. ”

Fan Xian was slightly stunned. A phrase came to mind: "livegether.lone." When I saw this sentence in my previous life. I always find it difficult to express the hidden meaning in Chinese, and recently I have watched countless deaths one after another. I heard Li Chengqian's words again. only to understand that this sentence is just a superposition of countless realities.

At this moment, Fan Xiandi's heart suddenly tightened. He didn't know that the Queen Mother in the Hanguang Hall had opened her eyes, but he was subconsciously afraid to look there, if the Queen Mother really woke up, he was only afraid that she would be unlucky.

This is the fear that comes from his heart, no matter who he has been facing in previous years. He wasn't really scared. But now I know that His Majesty the Emperor is a great master, a person. stepped on the two pinnacles of the martial arts realm and the secular power realm. What's the difference between that and descending to an earthly god?

Followed by. The bell in the palace buzzed, resounding all around, Fan Xian lowered his head and silently counted the number of times the bell rang, confirmed the death of the queen mother, and his mood relaxed a little, and then became empty again. Opposite him was Li Chengqian. But there is completely different news, and the queen mother, who knows that she loves her the most, also left so lonely. His face was a little pale. trembling said to Fan Xian: "You don't need to send it." ”

Fan Xian waved his hand calmly and said, "Go on the road with peace of mind." ”

......

......

Li Chengqian's sentence is not entirely correct, death is indeed the loneliest thing in the world. But before death, it is often the busiest time in the world. The old man awaits death in bed, while his relatives and younger generations gather around the bedside, chattering incessantly, so tiresome that life is boring.

The same is true of the East Palace today. Fan Xian waited outside the palace, and after a long time, he heard dense footsteps. His Majesty the Emperor came to the East Palace surrounded by many people, and then entered alone.

Li Chengqian did not stand up to greet his father, nor did he hate the excitement before his death at this time, he rejected Fan Xian's risky proposal, unwilling to go to the ends of the earth to hide his life, and did not commit suicide by taking poison before His Majesty the Emperor came back like the second child, because he had a lot of things to say to his father. He wants to vent the resentment in his heart for twenty years, and if he can't express it all, he is afraid that he will become a resentful ghost after death.

"How would this paragraph be described in the history books?" Li Chengqian looked at his father and the most powerful king in history, without a trace of fear.

People are not afraid of death, so they are no longer afraid of anything, and the prince, who has made great progress in the past two years, said very directly: "I am waiting for you to come back, just to know if you really don't care about anything." ”

Emperor Qingguo, dressed in civilian clothes, quietly looked at his son and said: "History books have always been written by the victors, and ...... Do you think I still have a place to be sorry for you?"

The prince sat behind the net, frowned and thought for a long time, then smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, the queen mother is weak, but you still made me the prince and let me sit in this position for so many years, of course you are worthy of me." ”

This is not true, because there is a strong sense of ridicule in it, which is fully revealed.

The emperor said indifferently: "Don't learn from women and people to be cowardly and sour. ”

"Cowardice? That's you, you're so glamorous, no one dares to snatch your brilliance. The prince closed his eyes and said stubbornly: "I've been thinking about a question, since you never thought about passing on your power to the next generation, why do you want to make me the prince?"

The emperor's floor was unusually calm, stared at him and said slowly: "Cheng Qian, you have disappointed me very much. I've been honing you all these years, for what?"

Li Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes and said sarcastically: "I'm not a knife, it will break if I sharpen it too much." ”
