The sky is gloomy, the rain is continuous, in the new capital built dozens of miles northwest of the former Dongsheng capital, the palace is sparse, the pedestrians on the road are nowhere to be seen, and it is deserted and lonely. At this moment, above the court, there are crowds of people and constant quarrels.

"Hit! The chaotic party and thieves are becoming more and more rampant, how can they give in? ”

"The magic of the rebellious party demons is profound, and now that the various factions in the East China Sea have suffered heavy casualties, what are you going to fight?"

"There is still a group of monks in the Huaiying Pavilion, as long as they are gathered, they will definitely be able to turn things around!"

"Joke! The first seat of the Huaiying Pavilion has defected, do you dare to call them casually? Don't forget, Zhao Xiao is from Huaiying Pavilion! ”

"Who don't use them? Back then, I advised you not to rely too much on the monks of the East China Sea! ”

"In order to please the Phantom Wave Palace, you gave your daughter to them as a concubine, who would believe this nonsense now? Isn't it just to see that the Phantom Wave Palace is about to go, trying to draw a line with them? ”

"You horseman, you dare to spew blood?!"

"That's you! The decline of the state is because of traitors like you! ”

The courtiers on both sides went from arguing to fighting with each other, each carrying a wat board and pulling the collar of their robes, and beckoned to each other, without the demeanor and demeanor of the court ministers.

"Da Sima, the ministers are fighting, don't you take care of it?" In the apse, the Empress Dowager Zhou was dressed neatly and energetically, not at all like a palace ban.

In front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, Da Sima Luo sat with his sword on his shoulders and asked with a gloomy expression: "Do you really want to abandon the country and flee away?" ”

"This palace is gone, isn't it just according to Da Sima's wishes?" Empress Dowager Zhou looked around, the candle flame flickered, and said with a smile: "Where can my orphans and widows preside over state affairs?" Thanks to the great Sima who has presided over the overall situation over the years, and now Zen has given way to the big position, which can reassure the hearts of hundreds of officials and all the people. ”

When Luo Yi heard this, there was neither joy nor panic on his face, but he looked deeply at the Empress Dowager Zhou, who was skilled in front of him and looked like a young girl, and said in a deep voice:

"The Queen Mother doesn't want to joke, now that Huaxu is in danger, she needs the help of all factions in the East China Sea."

The Empress Dowager Zhou did not relent: "This palace is just a woman, and she has no right to interfere in state affairs." ”

Luo Yi couldn't listen to it, he paused his sword, got up and asked, "You see that the situation is not good, so you want to take people to flee back to the East China Sea?" To say that it is Zen is nothing more than throwing a mess to others! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou saw the figure of Fang Jiashi behind the curtain, the sword and axe shaking, and said calmly: "I hope that the Great Sima understands that the Phantom Wave Palace was only promoted by all the families in the East China Sea in the past, and there is no real power to order other sects to water mansions, they want to leave, and the palace can't stop it." As for our Phantom Wave Palace, two palace masters and dozens of disciples sacrificed their lives for Hua Xu Kingdom, and in the face of the current erosion situation, they have long been powerless. ”

Luo Yi asked, "Then why did you send people to loot gold and silk property, heaven and earth treasures?" Several treasury in the capital have been emptied by you, how will we deal with the invasion of the rebellious party in the future?! ”

Empress Dowager Zhou avoided the important and trivialized: "That may just be a reckless act of subordinates, the palace does not ask about foreign affairs, so naturally it does not know the truth." ”

Luo Yi was furious in his heart, since he learned the news of the defeat and death of the Donghai monks, he immediately understood that it would be difficult to succeed in exterminating the chaotic party, and even the front-line soldiers and horses had to retreat again and again, allowing Chiyun to attack the city.

But just as Da Sima was trying to save the situation, he learned that the Empress Dowager Zhou had arranged for people to pack up and immediately led troops into the palace to ask questions.

After the drastic change in Dongshengdu, Huaxu Kingdom suffered a catastrophe, chaos up and down, and the forts of various counties and counties were fortified, and Luo Yi led his troops to the north at that time, and he reluctantly pulled Huaxu Kingdom back from the brink of destruction.

At that time, the Great Sima Luoyi returned to the dilapidated Dongsheng Capital, gathered the fleeing clan nobles, and supported the new monarch, but also received the assistance of the monks of the East China Sea behind the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Although Chiyun later made an incident and Huaxu lost its city and land again, with the help of the monks of the East China Sea and the acquiescence of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the Great Sima Luoyi was able to successfully take power.

Now that the East China Sea families have suffered heavy losses, even to the point of fleeing from Huaxu and returning to the East China Sea, it can be seen that they believe that the future of Huaxu is slim, and it is harmful to stay any longer.

These immortal cultivators from the East China Sea still have a way out, but Da Sima Luoyi does not. Now the people in Xindu are panicking, and what kind of Zen concessions are being made at the moment will not make the situation better at all.

During the years that Luo Yi was in power, there was no shortage of people in the government and the opposition who thought that Da Sima was autocratic, and even compared him with He Qingchen of the Bear Country.

As for Luo Yi himself, he does have the intention of usurping the throne, but the monks of the East China Sea have stepped into the court, the current lord is young, and the Empress Dowager Zhou is from the Phantom Wave Palace, which makes Luo Yi seem to control the government, but in fact, he has to carefully maintain the stability of the court.

Sometimes Luo Yi was even glad that Chiyun had raised things, and their appearance allowed Da Sima Luo Yi to firmly hold the military power in his hands in the name of exterminating the chaotic party. Because now in Huaxu Kingdom, several soldiers and horses who can fight and are good at fighting are either Luo Yi's early years or have installed cronies.

But all this must be under control of the victory or defeat on the battlefield in advance, if Chiyun has the upper hand and makes it difficult for Huaxu to continue, then all the calculations of Da Sima will be in vain.

Originally, he noticed that the offensive of Chiyundu was slowing down last year, and Luo Yi let his son Luo Xixian command the army on the front line, planning to regain the lost territory to the south this year.

But who would have thought that Zhao Xiao's "resurrection from the dead" would completely reverse the situation. The adventurous actions of the various factions in the East China Sea directly buried a group of masters, and the Empress Dowager Zhou saw that the situation was not good, and immediately abandoned Huaxu and prepared to flee back to the East China Sea.

As a result, when Luo Yi led troops into the palace to ask questions, the Empress Dowager Zhou was very obedient, and even proposed the matter of Chan concession, as if her son's position as the lord of the country was something that could be bargained at will.

In the current situation, even if the dynasty is really changed, what can Luo Yi do? I can't enjoy the taste of power for a few days.

Just as Luo Yi was thinking about how to persuade, Empress Dowager Zhou's face suddenly changed, and then a sound of rolling thunder came from the southeast, and there was a slight tremor on the ground.

"Find out the cause of the tremor quickly!" Luo Yi was shocked but not confused, and immediately gave an order to the soldiers outside the curtain.

"It's the crack in the ground outside the old capital." After all, Empress Dowager Zhou was a cultivator, and immediately judged the cause of the earthquake.

The most impressive disaster of the drastic changes in Dongshengdu is that the land outside Dongshengdu collapsed, starting from Pengxuan Lake, extending to the seaside at one end and expanding to Dongshengdu at the other.

At the moment when the earth collapsed, Dongshengdu was robbed by fire, and the casualties were innumerable, and the turbidity in the depths of the subsequent earth crack was thin, and Dongshengdu was already unbearable to live in, so he could only build a new capital in the northwest of the original site.

Luo Yi asked eagerly, "Wasn't that ground crack sealed by you?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know what was happening, so she could only say: "The ground crack was poured into the sea, and the turbid air entangled part had been stable for many years, and it should not be shaken for no reason." ”

"Even if you want to leave, you must take care of this matter first!" Luo Yi didn't care what position he was inferior: "Don't think I don't know, Dongsheng's drastic changes are inseparable from Yang Jingxi!" You immortal masters are in trouble in the world, do you want to pat your ass and leave when you see that the situation is not good? ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was not provoked, of course she knew what happened back then, but now the vitality of the East China Sea has been greatly damaged, and even the hermit cultivators like Yuanji Shuangzun have been defeated by Zhao Xiao, and Huaxu has no chance to compete in Kunlun Continent.

And the Phantom Wave Palace, as a sect that secretly took refuge in Canghua Heavenly Monarch early, was able to retain its position after the drastic change in Dongshengdu, which was already a very fluke.

Luo Yi used Empress Dowager Zhou to maintain contacts with various families in the East China Sea, why didn't Empress Dowager Zhou use Luo Yi to ensure her own status? Only now all this is gone.

"This can be regarded as the last thing that this palace did for Hua Xu before leaving." Empress Dowager Zhou did not refuse, got up and said, "As for Da Sima, please do it yourself." ”

After saying this, Empress Dowager Zhou left the palace city, called a few disciples of the Phantom Wave Palace, and flew towards the old capital together.

……

"Unexpectedly, this ground crack actually formed a turbidity equilibrium trend."

Zhao Xiao stood in the air, overlooking the crack of the ground filled with sea water below, like a sharp blade piercing the land from the sea, and the dilapidated and withered Dongsheng was located on the cliff by the sea, and some people still lived here.

It stands to reason that the turbidity around the ground fissure, coupled with the damage of poisonous earth fire, is almost a dead realm with no vitality.

However, this ground fissure, which first appeared because of the fall of the Canghua Heavenly Monarch, is now extremely calm. Although the imperial court built a new capital elsewhere, there were still many poor people living in the old capital.

Zhao Huang sighed with great emotion, if you talk about prosperity and wealth, the Dongsheng capital of that year was even above the emperor's capital, but a drastic change in the immortals has turned such a rich township into a ruined and withered land, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see a revival in the long years in the future.

Witnessing the changes in Dongshengdu, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of vicissitudes and things in his heart. The immortal family looks at the world with cold eyes, contains spiritual beings, and evolves and changes, so that they can see it all, if they see it for a long time, they will naturally have the idea of transcending the world.

Zhao Huang was silent in the air for a long time, unconsciously opening his body and mind, the wind and clouds between heaven and earth, the waves and waves, all the movements were under control.

Suddenly, he seemed to be walking in the dilapidated Dongsheng Capital, although there were ruins and broken walls all around, but the people who lived here did not abandon themselves. They collected scrap bricks and tiles, rebuilt houses, built dikes near the water, and built boats out of strips of wood to catch fish offshore.

In the past, the mansion of the Qing Gui became a place for the people to gather and deliberate, and the palace forbidden garden in the past was full of leeks, mustards, onions, garlic and various miscellaneous vegetables. The men, women and children of this place, in order to live and reproduce, continue to exert their simple wisdom. In the corners ignored by the powerful, there is still a vigorous vitality.

Retracting his gaze, Zhao Xiao raised his hand silently, the Nine Heavens Cloud Platform unfolded by itself, the mandala was laid out in a blink of an eye, and the Daming Treasure Mirror was hung high, like the sun and the moon in the sky, hanging down to the world.

The mirror light shone straight towards the ground crack, and the uncertain sea surface was calm for a moment, like a piece of crystal clear and flawless jade, revealing the situation hundreds of zhang down.

Back then, Zhang Duanjing beheaded Canghua Tianjun, and the clear qi of the cave sky flowed into the world out of order, pouring into the leylines of the earth. However, there is already turbidity in the depths of the earth's veins, and the turbidity intersects, which immediately causes the mountains and rivers to shake and the earth to collapse.

But now in the depths of this earth crack, the turbid qi is entangled, like a piece of chaos that has not been opened in Hongmeng, which is unique.

Zhao Xiao's mana followed the mirror light into the ground crack, concentrating deeply, as if he was also in chaos, the upper and lower sides were indistinguishable, and there was no difference between the past and the present.

In the underworld, the essence is grateful, the true life, the silence is inactive, the empty and unpredictable, the end of all things, the omen is here.

Suddenly, the clear and clear air is floating and thin, and the turbidity and obscurity are accumulated and the ground. Taizhen cultivates all kinds of people in one breath, gives birth to the form of heaven and earth figures, and bestows the spirit of heaven and earth characters.

Since then, the sky and the earth have been established, the yin and yang have changed, and the turbidity has been separated, as if it has established another world and reopened the creation.

Shou Dacheng, the fetal immortal passed through the heavens, wore the extreme truth, entered the Xuandan, and turned into the Taiyi Emperor from the Shangyuan Child.

Chaos is chiseled, all things are done together, Zhao Xiao slowly raised his eyes, his eyes were bright, like the sun and the moon and shining in the sky, the clouds and gases around the body turned into shapes, the shape of birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects, the changes of wind and rain, cold and summer, day and night, the forest was scattered, the gods were clear, and it was incredible.

Zhao Huang couldn't tell for a while whether it was the scene inside the brain palace or the changes outside his body, he just raised his hand and held it weakly, and there was a disturbing commotion in the depths of the earth crack, the sea surface whirlpool turned sharply, the waves rolled, and the sky was also surging with dark clouds.

Then there was a thunderbolt, and a dazzling light rushed into the sky in the depths of the whirlpool, pointing directly at Zhao Xiao, and the incomparable edge attacked him.

Zhao Huang guarded the silence and emptiness, and let the incomparable edge add to his body, but it was like smoke flowing by, without any damage.

After returning to his eyes and dissipating his glory, Zhao Xiao saw that he was holding an ancient clumsy long sword in his hand, as if it had experienced vicissitudes of life, covered with mottled rust. And near the sword, two ancient inscriptions were engraved.

"Silence." Zhao Xiao read it softly, and suddenly the thunder of the four directions of heaven and earth shook, and the wind and rain cried like ghosts and gods.

After Zhao Xiao left Qingtong Continent and came to Dongshengdu, he wanted to try to recover the divine sword that he had lost, although he didn't think he would be able to find it.

It's just that when Zhao Huang sensed that the turbid qi in the depths of the earth crack was entangled in chaos, he noticed a bit of mystery, and unconsciously practiced the method to separate the turbid qi, and while cultivating to make further progress, he also took advantage of the situation to recover the divine sword that fell into the depths of the earth crack.

Caressing the sword body, Zhao Xiao's mind flashed the figures of his mother and teacher, and the method of the imperial envoy divine sword naturally came to mind.

"The sword has a spirit, according to the past and the present." Zhao Xiao sighed secretly.

Just as Zhao Xiao was still looking at the divine sword, a shout came from afar: "Who broke the seal?!" ”

Zhao Xiao turned his head to look, and saw the Empress Dowager Zhou and several disciples of the Phantom Wave Palace flying into the sky, looking at each other for a moment, the Empress Dowager Zhou was so shocked that she froze her body in mid-air, and instantly took full precautions, and asked, "You, are you Zhao Xiao?!" ”

Zhao Xiao stood with his sword in his hand, thinking that he had taken the sword and caused the earth's veins to vibrate, which disturbed the nearby masters. He looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou for a moment, and sensed that the qi and mana around her body were all in the vein of the Phantom Wave Palace, and he silently deduced for a moment in his heart, and immediately understood: "You are the Empress Dowager Zhou?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou was shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Zhao Xiao to appear here, she shouldn't have come!

"Back then, the various sects and water mansions in the East China Sea attacked the Lung Mountain, so you must have been the one behind the scenes, right?" Zhao Xiao looked at the Empress Dowager Zhou: "I have been hiding for a long time, and I finally showed up today, so I will clean it up." ”

Before the words were finished, the Empress Dowager Zhou turned around and retreated quickly, Zhao Xiao raised her hand, and a hundred and ten thunderous arrows rolled down, blasting the Empress Dowager Zhou into powder on the spot!
