Chapter 19: The Other
Di Tian's explanation is half-true and half-false, although it sounds incredible, but after all, it is also reasonable, and it is difficult for my father to distinguish the truth from the falsehood for a while.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Di Chongyang quickly fell into deep thought.
After a long while, I saw him raise his head and ask, "Tian'er, what about the rusty sword you mentioned, let my father take a look." ”
Di Tian said with an embarrassed face: "Father, it's not that the child doesn't want to take it out, it's just that ...... Somehow, the broken sword ran into the child's body, and it seemed to have spirituality, but with the child's current strength, it couldn't command it to move. ”
Hearing this, Di Chongyang couldn't help but show a look of surprise, with a spiritual sword? That should be a peerless divine weapon-level existence, could it be that this son is really so blessed by chance that he actually got this heaven-sent thing?
After thinking about it, Di Chongyang still said: "That is the case, then the father will not embarrass you." But God, you have to remember that this matter must not be revealed to anyone again. A sword that can possess spirituality is already a heaven-sent artifact. You must also understand the ideal of innocence and guilt, and you will not say more about being a father. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow it, otherwise the father can give you a closer look. There is just one more point, although such a divine object can bring you great help for a while, but you must pay attention to it. Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, it can help you, and it is very likely to harm you. With your current cultivation, don't try to manipulate or use it, otherwise, it is very likely to bring you some harm. ”
Hearing this, Di Tian nodded and said, "I understand what my father said, in fact, in the past two days, the child has already felt it deeply. This sword is not something I can handle now. Your child will never try to use it unless it is absolutely necessary, and you can rest assured, father. ”
"Well, that's fine. By the way, I think you have some understanding of the situation that our emperor family is facing now, right?" Emperor Chongyang said again.
Di Tian replied: "I heard some of them at my mother's place and Uncle Chen's place before, although it is not very specific, but I also roughly know that the current situation of our emperor's family is very bad. Father, if the Fang family really has the support of people from the heavens and the earth, how should we deal with it?"
When Emperor Chongyang heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and muttered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Tian'er, you have to remember that although the ancestors of our emperor family have always admonished us to be generous to others, don't be like the ancestor of the emperor, who killed too much in his life, and finally ended up with no place to die." But this doesn't mean that the people of our emperor's family can be bullied, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, ......"
As soon as Di Chongyang's tone stopped, Di Tian seemed to feel that the air around him became frozen for a moment, and he was a little out of breath. I just heard my father's heavy words vaguely in my ears: "No mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!" These three dull and piercing words, like a boulder, fell directly into Di Tian's heart, stirring up a wave of waves.
Regarding the ancestral teachings of the emperor family, Emperor Tian is naturally no stranger. The first article of the emperor's ancestral training is a benevolent word. Tracing back to its origin, it can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, when the imperial family was at its peak. At that time, it was a dispute between the hundred emperors and a situation where all parties were divided. And it was also at this time that there was a stunning emperor in the imperial family, who dominated one side and made the imperial family infinite for a while.
It's just that later, perhaps it was the ancestor who caused too many killings on the road to becoming the emperor, and it didn't take long for the emperor's family to decline rapidly, and even once faced the crisis of severing the bloodline. Later, some people suggested that it was because the ancestors killed too much that it caused the curse. Since then, the emperor has set up an ancestral motto, starting with the word benevolence and treating people with generosity. It is strange to say that since the establishment of this ancestral teaching, the descendants of the emperor's family have been strictly disciplined with this ancestral teaching, and they have done good deeds.
However, after that, the people of the imperial family were no longer as prosperous as they were at the beginning, and they gradually declined after all. But even so, in the past hundreds of years, seeing that the big family that existed like the emperor family has gradually disappeared in the long river of history, the emperor family has survived to this day, but it is impossible to say whether it is fortunate or unfortunate.
But one thing is certain, even the emperor's family, which has been declining day by day, will never allow outsiders to trample on it at will!
"Father, the child understands. Di Tian said solemnly.
Di Chongyang looked at him, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "I know you will understand the truth in this, although the current situation of our emperor family is indeed a little bad, but according to my observation, the Fang family will not tear their faces with our emperor family in public for a while." Especially the fact that Xing Shanhu was killed, I am afraid that most of the people of the Fang family will also be a little jealous. During this time, there should be a period of calm in Zhongshu City. Tian'er, you just take this opportunity to consolidate your cultivation. According to what you just said, Emperor Xuangong has already cultivated to the fourth level, if you cultivate well during this time, you should make a lot of progress, as for other things, with me and your second uncle here, don't worry too much for the time being. ”
Hearing this, Di Tian nodded yes and didn't say anything more.
However, although he listened to his father's words as if they were so lightly spoken, he faintly felt that there seemed to be a special atmosphere in the air at this time, which was a kind of wind and rain that was about to come. It's just that he doesn't know how long this calm before the storm can last.
However, his father's words were deeply imprinted in his mind: If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and if people offend me, there will be no forgiveness!
Next, Di Chongyang briefly told Di Tian about some things that must be paid attention to in the cultivation process, especially the synchronization of mood and cultivation. This path of cultivation is not only about cultivating the human body to the extreme, but also about training people's minds. If the mind is not firm, the more you reach the later stage of cultivation, the more likely you are to make mistakes, and even go mad.
Di Tian listened carefully, although these were just the foundation of cultivation, in fact, Di Tian had already been very clear. But the bastard master who took him into the cultivation path at the beginning was a man in the Demon Dao, and he was also an old drunkard, so at that time, he directly threw a set of exercises to Di Tian, and then let him explore it by himself. It was really never before that my father patiently explained to him all the things that he needed to pay attention to when cultivating.
So Di Tian listened very carefully, even if he already knew, he still listened humbly, and benefited a lot from it.
I don't know how long it has been, but the sky outside is getting darker and darker, and the people of Tianyi Pavilion have already prepared dinner, and then Steward Chen came over to call the two of them.
Hearing Steward Chen say that dinner had been prepared, Di Chongyang said to Di Tian: "Tian'er, what I just told you must be remembered. On the way to cultivation, there can not be a little child's play, but if you are not careful, it is very likely that you will fall into a place of no return, you must take it slowly, and do not rush it. ”
"The father taught that the child will take it to heart. Di Tian said solemnly.
Di Chongyang nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's fine, okay, Steward Chen's side has also prepared dinner, you and I will go over." ”
With that, the father and son walked out of the room one after another.
When he came to the door and saw Steward Chen, Di Chongyang asked, "Old Chen, can you please Elder Xu?"
I saw Steward Chen shake his head and said, "Because Old Xu had explained in advance and didn't let people go to disturb him, it was not easy for the old slave to make his own decisions." ”
Di Chongyang thought about it, then turned his head and glanced at Di Tian beside him, and said, "Since this is the case, then Tian'er will go over with me." Not to mention that Xu Lao has worked tirelessly to send you over all the way, just because he watched your mother grow up, he can be regarded as half of your mother's father, that is, half of your grandfather. As juniors, we naturally have to go and invite talents in person. ”
"That's exactly what my father said. Di Tian didn't say much, just nodded in response.
Then Emperor Chongyang instructed Steward Chen to invite Su Yan and Su Gongzi to the banquet first, and then invite the retinue who escorted Emperor Tian to Zhongshu City to the banquet today, and then the two of them walked to the east wing.
When he came to the east wing, Di Tian asked where Xu Lao lived, and walked with his father to a room on the left.
When the two of them came to the front of the room, they saw that the room was pitch black, and no one seemed to be there. Di Tian hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Old Xu, Old Xu, are you always in the room?"
After half a ring, no one was heard responding.
Di Tian looked at his father helplessly, and saw that his father gave him a look to continue knocking on the door, so he had to knock on the door a few more times.
But the room was quiet, and there was still no movement.
"Could it be that Old Xu went out, but when I came in just now, I didn't hear from those nurses that someone had gone out?" Di Tian muttered to himself.
At this time, I saw Di Chongyang stretch out his hand and gently push the door, and with a soft sound, the door opened.
The room was dim, Di Tian hurriedly took a few steps forward, lit the fire candle on the table, and then saw everything in the room clearly. I saw that the whole room was empty, and there was half a figure somewhere.
Where did Mr. Xu go?
Just as he was wondering, he saw that Di Chongyang had taken something on the table, and after looking at it, he handed it to Di Tian.
"Take a look, Xu Laoliu. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Tian took a closer look, but it turned out to be a letter.
Di Tian opened it and took a look, only to see that it was written: "Di Tian boy, the old man has something to do, tell you Lao Tzu." There are two Nine Turns Life Continuation Pill in the box, and if you keep them, they may be able to save your life in a critical moment. You don't have to send someone to me, when you're done, the old man will come back soon. Before the old man comes back, the emperor boy must not die, otherwise the old man will be difficult to explain to your mother!"
After reading it, Di Tian couldn't help but feel angry and funny in his heart, this strange old man, if you have something to say, will we still be forced to stay, and we will say goodbye without saying goodbye. And don't do it, don't do it, what does this last sentence mean? I don't want to die until he comes back?
Di Tian shook his head, looked at a small wooden box on the table, and couldn't help but open it to take a look, and suddenly felt a refreshing fragrance coming to his nose. Just smelling it, I immediately felt much refreshed.
Di Tian couldn't help but secretly exclaim in his heart: This is really a good thing!
Holding the two pills of the Nine Revolutions Life Continuation Pill that Elder Xu said, Di Tian thought about it, and finally handed it to Di Chongyang's hand, and said, "Father, these two pills are also good things to think about, so let's put them with my father." ”
Di Chongyang shook his head: "No, you can keep it yourself." It seems that Xu Lao should have left in a hurry, I'm afraid that there is really something urgent. Anyway, with Xu Lao's strength, there won't be any trouble in the future, let's go back. ”
So saying, he turned and left.
Originally, he thought that he had brought a right-hand man like Xu Lao, but this time he faced the Fang family, which could be said to have added a little hope. But who knew that this so-called helper was so unreliable, and he didn't say a word, he just left, and he didn't even know where the people had gone and when they would be able to rush back.
Looking at his father's figure gradually walking away, Di Tian had to shake his head helplessly, sighed secretly, and had to follow.
This night, in the welcome hall of Tianyi Pavilion, a simple and stylish dinner began.
Everyone present, in addition to the father and son of the emperor family, Di Chonghai and Su Yan, Steward Chen and others, Di Chongyang also specially asked the entourage who escorted Di Tian to come today to join them. After a day of tension and fatigue, after being treated so favorably by the head of the family, the entourage was naturally flattered one by one.
On weekdays, Di Chongyang always feels so taciturn and majestic.
However, at the banquet at this time, in the face of these entourages who risked their lives to escort his son to Zhongshu City safely, Di Chongyang still expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Then I drank with everyone.
And contrary to Emperor Chongyang's character, Emperor Chonghai was originally a big grinning character, and there has always been no distinction between dignity and inferiority in front of these guards and entourage. Especially at the wine table, after three rounds of drinking, he immediately hooked up with a group of people and called him brothers.
In this regard, Di Chongyang has long been surprised, but he is silent.
On the other hand, on Di Tian's side, Di Tian and Su Yan sat next to each other, and the two of them were chatting about something while drinking slowly, and they seemed to have a good conversation.
This dinner, it seems that everything is so happy.
But no one noticed that at this time, there was a faint trace of worry in Di Chongyang's eyes.
Although the current Zhongshu City seems to be calm on the surface, in fact, there is already an undercurrent surging in the secret. That Fang family has long regarded the emperor family as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and it is not a matter of a day or two to plot against the emperor's family. However, this time they have made such a big battle, it is obvious that their side thinks that the time is ripe, and I am afraid that a bigger offensive is about to be launched.
Glancing around at everyone present, Di Chongyang's heart couldn't help but secretly ask: How long can the tranquility before this storm last?
In the next few days, there was nothing going on in Zhongshu City, and Emperor Tian began to practice diligently behind closed doors.
After Xingshan Hu and the others, who were originally ambushed at Sandaokou, were exterminated by Emperor Tian, the connection between Zhongshu City and Qingzhou City was also restored. So when Emperor Chongyang asked Emgrand to send the news of Ditian's safe arrival back to Qingzhou, and Liu Shuyao over there learned that the current situation in Zhongshu City was so grim, she also followed Emgrand to Zhongshu City the next day.
And when Di Tian learned that his mother had also arrived in Zhongshu City, it was already early the next morning. Because in the past few days, the Fang family's side didn't seem to have made too many moves, and Zhongshu City was relatively calm. Emperor Tian naturally had to take out the gap in this, seize the time to cultivate, and think about consolidating his cultivation as soon as possible.
Although it was only a short period of three days, after all, Emperor Tian had the cultivation experience of his previous life, and what he was cultivating at this time was an extremely advanced technique of the Emperor Family, so the progress was also amazingly fast. By the time he had been cultivating for a few days, his cultivation had already stabilized at the middle of the Earth Realm.
"Young, young master...... You, you actually reached the middle of the realm?" The emperor who had been guarding in front of the gate of the Emperor Heaven Courtyard for the past few days, as soon as he saw the emperor come out, he immediately said with a shocked face.
Di Tian smiled and didn't say anything more.
In fact, in his opinion, this is not something to make a fuss about. After all, he had already comprehended the Emperor Xuangong to the realm of the fourth layer a long time ago, but he was suffering from not being able to open up the flood wilderness, which caused his cultivation to not be able to keep up with his state of mind. Therefore, once Emperor Tian opened a coffin, with his experience in cultivating in his previous life, coupled with his comprehension of Emperor Xuangong, it was naturally twice the result with half the effort to cultivate at this time, and he advanced to the middle stage of the earth realm in just three days.
"By the way, nothing has happened in the city these days, has it?" asked Di Tian.
In fact, he has been cultivating behind closed doors for the past few days, and what he is most worried about is that something will suddenly happen to the people of the Fang family during this period. But I heard Emgrand say: "It's okay, everything has been calm in Zhongshu City recently." But there is one thing, I think it is better for you to go to the West Wing as soon as possible, young master. ”
"What's the matter? Could it be that my father is looking for me?"
"It's not the head of the house, it's the lady. Yesterday, my wife and I came to Zhongshu City. ”
"What?!"
Di Tian couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why is my mother here too?"
Emgrand said: "Madame, she stayed in Qingzhou alone, and after hearing about some of the situations in Zhongshu City that day, she naturally couldn't rest assured that the head of the family and the young master would be relieved, so I asked her to come over." It's just that Madame's since Madame came yesterday, the young master has been cultivating in the room, so Madame didn't let me come forward to disturb me. Instead, he told me, after you finish your cultivation, young master, let me call you to her for a visit. ”
Hearing this, Di Tian hummed and said, "I know, let's go over." By the way, Emgrand, is there still no news from Old Xu's side now?"
Emgrand shook his head: "No." But there is one thing, I think we still have to remind the young master first. ”
"What's the matter?" Di Tian looked strange.
"Yes, ma'am...... She learned that you have been cultivating behind closed doors for the past few days, it seems that she is a little unhappy, I think young master, you should be careful yourself. Emgrand said.
Di Tian couldn't help but feel even more strange when he heard this: "I'm cultivating, not playing, what's so upset about my mother?"
"I don't know about this, so let's go and see it yourself, young master. Emgrand shrugged his shoulders and said.
Di Tian thought about it, it seems that he didn't do anything to make his mother angry, where did he start?
"Forget it, you go and talk to my mother first, I'll wash up and go back. ”
Di Tian commanded, and then turned back to the room.
After he cleaned up the room at will, changed his clothes, and hurried to the west wing.
When he came to the West Wing, Di Tian saw Hsinchu waiting in front of the door at a glance, and Di Tian walked over with a smile: "Hsinchu, can my mother be inside?"
Seeing that it was Emperor Tian, Hsinchu hurriedly saluted, and then said, "Back to the young master, Madame, she is waiting for you inside." ”
Di Tian snorted, just wanted to push the door in, but suddenly stopped, seemed to hesitate, and then turned to Hsinchu and asked, "My mother is alone, how is she feeling in the past two days?"
Seeing him like this, Hsinchu couldn't help but smile and said, "What is the mood of the lady, the slave doesn't dare to speculate." But Madame is not alone in the house, there is also a guest, and the young master will know when he enters. ”
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Di Tian couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, and finally sighed secretly and pushed the door directly and walked in.
"Mother, the child is here. Di Tian shouted as soon as he entered the door.
At the same time, he glanced at the room at random, and vaguely saw two figures sitting in the hall, and looked at it, one was naturally his mother-in-law Liu Shuyao, and the other was ......
Di Tian couldn't help frowning, who is this girl?
Looking at her dress, she doesn't look like a maid of the emperor's family, and she still sits hand in hand with her mother, and it seems that they are talking happily. When Di Tian saw the girl's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but light up, seeing that she was about ten years old, with long hair and waist, fair complexion, beautiful face, eyebrows and eyes, like a beautiful person in a painting.
It was the emperor who was a man in two lives, and when he saw this beautiful girl at this time, he couldn't help but feel a pounding in his heart, and subconsciously withdrew his eyes, for fear of abruptly abrupt the beauty.
"You dead boy, why don't you come in and knock on the door first, such a non-disciplined and undisciplined person, if your father is here, wouldn't you have to find another training. Liu Shuyao sat in front of the hall and said angrily.
