Chapter 197: The Path to Immortality
The heavy snow in the capital came very suddenly.
This year's heavy winter snow came later than in previous years, but it was also more fierce than in later years.
Overnight, a cold wind swept through the capital, and snow fell from the sky, turning the entire capital into a white world.
The depth of the snow has severely affected the residents of the city.
Even in the bustling and lively capital, it is inconvenient to travel because of the thick snow, and the streets and alleys are unprecedentedly deserted.
Coupled with the night watchmen who constantly patrolled in the cold wind, and the recent attack on the Empress, the entire capital seemed to be shrouded in some kind of shadow.
Jing Zhaoyin opened the sealing array, the four gates were closed, and the tens of thousands of bronze and plastic tiger heads on the walls of the capital were all aimed at the sky.
This is the forbidden air array that the Divine Dynasty has established for many years, and once it is opened, anyone who flies without permission will be set on fire by tens of thousands of tiger heads.
It is said that even the legendary Heavenly and Human Realm cultivators could not resist that kind of power.
Therefore, everyone knows that the murderer who attacked the empress is still lurking in the capital and cannot be escaped.
The people who kept warm at home discussed the horror of the thief in a low voice, carefully capturing all the gossip circulating in the market, trying to piece together a truth from those fragmentary rumors.
But all that most people can hear is rumors that there are many hands.
As these rumors spread wider, people will only get closer to the truth.
Even above the court, there are very few people who can really grasp the truth about the attack on the empress.
And now, outside the snowy prison, there are two such "extraordinary" bigwigs gathering.
The wind and snow fell on them, but the two old men were not afraid of the cold, and they sat on one of the eaves outside the prison, looking out at the imperial city not far away, and letting the university fall on their shoulders.
The old demon of the prison, this old man with a great reputation in the Central Plains Demon Dao, has been guarding the prison for more than a hundred years.
And his identity on the surface is just a jailer in the prison.
Judging from the official level of the Divine Dynasty, the old demon in the prison is not a product, just an idle little official, the kind that is everywhere.
But because of his existence, no one has been able to escape from the prison for many years.
Anyone who tries to escape or rob the prison will not be able to get past the old man.
No one knows why he chose to be a little jailer in the prison.
With his cultivation, he is enough to become the great master of the world.
But the old demon of the prison ignored all the glory and wealth, and lived in the prison every day, as his ordinary jailers, and a group of jailers who also guarded the prison.
When most people escape from prison and rob prisons, until the moment of death, they can't believe that this inconspicuous-looking old man in a jailer's uniform is actually the legendary old demon in prison.
And sitting next to the old demon in the prison was Su Wen, a great eunuch in a luxurious robe.
In the snow, the gorgeously dressed Su Wen sat with the old jailer, looking like people from the same world.
Su Wen looked at the heavy snow falling from the sky and the imperial city in the wind and snow, and let out a long sigh.
The world's number one master sighed and coughed, and the corners of his mouth overflowed bloodshot.
Obviously, he was also injured during the previous trip to Sea Rock City.
A university scholar who has disappeared for many years is not an easy one.
If it weren't for the fact that both of them restrained each other and didn't fight to the end, the final outcome would not have been so lightly written.
Su Wen sighed in the wind and snow: "The situation is difficult, the wind and snow are shaky...... Old friend, don't you really go out of the mountain to help? ”
"If something happens to Your Majesty, I'm afraid that there will be a big mess in the country of this god dynasty......"
Su Wen's eyes were sincere, and he asked his old friend to come out of the mountain.
Over the years, he had known this old friend, but he had never interfered with his life, and he had never made excessive demands.
But this time, he had to come forward and give up his old face to beg the other party to come out of the mountain.
But the old demon in the wind and snow was indifferent.
The sincere request of the world's number one master, such a deed is enough to boast for a lifetime.
But the old demon of the prison was indifferent.
He sat in the snow, looked at the imperial city in the heavy snow, and said, "Is Lu Cao's injury already so serious...... You actually came to invite me to work. ”
The old demon of the prison looked into the distance and said, "Don't tell me, in fact, Lu Cao is dead, and you are in secret?" ”
The old demon of the prison put forward a conjecture, and his words could be called disrespectful.
Su Wen smiled helplessly and said, "Your Majesty has no heirs, and Su Wen and I don't have the idea of plotting for the throne, so is it meaningful to keep it secret or not?" ”
"What's more, with the presence of the divine medicine king, even if Your Majesty can't save it, it is very difficult to die."
"Even if the Medicine Master King can't save His Majesty, it's still no problem to forcibly extend His Majesty's life for a year and a half."
Su Wen's words made the old demon in prison sneer.
"Indeed, the old witch doctor's ability to help people survive is still very strong."
"If it weren't for him, Lu Cao wouldn't have gone crazy like ...... now"
Speaking of this, the old demon of the prison finally turned his head, looked at Su Wen for the first time, and asked, "What the old man is curious about now is, since Lu Cao is not dead, what is her situation?" ”
"Where has she come on her decades-long path to immortality?"
"I heard that the old man of Tianxin outside the gate is also using the power of the entire Western Regions to impact immortality."
"With Father-in-law Su's vision, which of these two do you think has a better chance of reaching the legendary immortal realm?"
The old demon in the prison looked curious.
Su Wen was slightly silent, and in the heavy snow, it seemed to have turned into a lifeless statue.
After a while, he made a choice and gave a difficult response.
"I can only tell my old friend that His Majesty's path to immortality is not hopeless, and it is far more hopeful than the Heavenly Heart Old Demon......"
Su Wen's words surprised the old demon in prison.
"Oh? Is there really hope? ”
He naturally believed Su Wen's judgment.
"Even Gonggong Su, who is the number one in the world, said so......" The old demon in the prison thought for a while and said, "So you really want to fulfill Lu Cao and let her rule for thousands of generations, like Taizu?" ”
Su Wen looked serious: "Your Majesty is the true dragon of the world and the wise monarch of the world. If she can get back to being young and sweep away the disease of aging, the world will be a different party! ”
Su Wen's eyes flashed with blazing faith.
Seeing that this old eunuch was still as enthusiastic as a young man, the old demon in the prison laughed out loud.
"Sometimes, I really can't tell if you're pretending to be or being real...... Hahaha......"
"Father-in-law Su, you are also more than a hundred years old."
"I have to say, even if you really pretend, you can pretend for a lifetime...... Then I'll have to give you a thumbs up. ”
"It's a pity that I'm not interested in Lu Cao's eternal royal power."
"The only thing I can do, and the only thing I need to do, is to guard the prison and protect the little cub of Lu Gaoxu inside."
"For the rest, I can't help you."
