Chapter 15: The Aftermath

The thick winter clouds over Chang'an City covered the sun behind, and in the streets and alleys outside the General's Mansion in Nancheng, a round of sun suddenly appeared, and the blazing light burst out in the eyes of the great priest of light, instantly illuminating the surrounding gloomy world into a day that was more white than day, and the old steps of the dead leaves, walls, and stone lions were covered with a dazzling halo, completely losing their original appearance and becoming extremely holy.

Dozens of elite crossbowmen, known for their spiritual fortitude, threw away the crossbows in their hands, covered their eyes, and fell to the ground screaming miserably, the miserable flying crossbow arrows screamed even more miserably, and they had already lost their direction in the blazing light, and they could vaguely see the slightly trembling crossbow tails everywhere on the walls of the trees.

The Datang Xuanjia heavy armor assembled on the street was in chaos, and those well-trained negative armor war horses seemed to sense the supreme divine power hidden in the blazing white light curtain in the alley, neighed and obediently bent their front hooves, knelt to the ground in fear, and didn't know how many knights had been knocked down.

The Haotian Dao South Gate Formation Master hidden in the far Fang City was even more pale, and several of them were covered with blood in front of their clothes, they were not affected by any Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, but because of the great shock and fear in the sea of consciousness, the spiritual impact directly injured the exquisite Divine Array Tianluo Array inherited from the Xiling Temple, and there was no way to locate the target at all.

They are cultivating the Haotian Dao, and what they are infusing into the Tianluo Array is the power of light, and the Great Priest of Light is bright from body to heart, without a trace of impurities, and if they want to lock a ball of clear water with crystal clear lake water, they can't do it at all!

Farther on Suzaku Street, there was a breeze blowing for no reason...... The gravel on the Suzaku portrait deep in the stone slab was swept everywhere by this gust of wind, and tourists from all the counties of the empire, blinded by the wind and sand, were pounced on by the rubble, and subconsciously bowed their heads to avoid it, or rubbed their eyes with their hands.

Even if they didn't bow their heads or cover their eyes, they probably couldn't see it, and an extremely clear and faint Vermilion Bird Phantom that was almost invisible to the naked eye swaggered up from the stone carved ground, and with a wave of its wings, it swept over Chang'an City for a week in an instant at an unimaginable terrifying speed.

It's a pity that Suzaku failed to find any enemies in Chang'an City, and there was a faint roar of anger above the Nine Heavens Winter Clouds.

Li Qingshan stood silently at the front end of the alley outside the General's Mansion, listening to the faint angry roar on the clouds, slowly opened his closed eyes, and looked at the alley that was already empty, his expression became more and more solemn.

The green dragon wandering in the alley let out an unwilling whisper, slowly collected his breath, and returned his sword to its sheath.

Suzaku failed to find the trace of that person, and all the eyeliners scattered in Chang'an City failed to find any trace of that person, and the countless backhands arranged by the Tang Empire were forced to stop abruptly.

The thick winter clouds above Chang'an City suddenly gradually dispersed, revealing the long-lost sun, and the not blazing sunlight sprinkled down gently and softly, sprinkled on the thousands of mansions and cold houses in the world, everywhere.

That person didn't make a move, didn't show the slightest hostility and war intent, just radiated his own bright intent, and passed away quietly like the light of the sun, and it was difficult to find it.

There is light everywhere in the world, how can you find it......

Li Qingshan looked up at the light leaking from the winter clouds, and muttered, "Above the throne, under the heavenly dome......"

"Senior brother, I finally understand what you mean by this......

In the small courtyard behind the red sleeves.

Master Yan Se stared at the flickering candlestick on the table, the corners of his eyes full of fine wrinkles trembled slightly, as if he was thinking about an extremely important decision.

The girl of Shui Zhu'er slanted into his arms, her slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was full of confusion, but she didn't dare to ask questions when she looked at the solemn expression of the old way.

Why do you light the candlesticks in broad daylight......? This rune master, who no one in the entire empire, including Jane's family, dared to offend, and after refusing to really drink water these days, he actually had some strange mental interests?

Looking at the candle tears gradually accumulating on the candlestick, Shui Zhu'er's body was a little stiff, thinking that she had heard a lot of such tastes, but she had never done it herself, and she didn't know if the candle tears would hurt when they fell on her body, or if she really had no interest, she wanted to refuse, but where did she dare to say it.

Suddenly, the candle flame on the table suddenly shone brightly, illuminating the room in a delicate light, and the water beads were startled and almost fell off Yan Se's legs.

Master Yan Se stared at the flame of the candle that was burning and refurbished, squinted his eyes and was silent for a long time, and then rubbed Shui Zhu'er's plump and fat buttocks dotingly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "In the next few days, I have some things to do, and I probably won't come often, if ...... If there is anything in the future, your girl Jian can't solve it, you go to the south gate to find my junior brother. ”

Now Shui Zhu'er has long known the true identity of this old Taoist, and naturally knows that the junior brother he said is Li Qingshan, the national teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no true love on the scene, not to mention that the age and status difference between Yan Se and Shui Zhu'er is too big, but for some reason, Shui Zhu'er looked at the old Dao's obscene face, and actually saw a little sour and reluctance, and subconsciously reached out to grasp the collar of the old Dao's robe, completely forgetting that he hated the oil and dirt on this robe the most on weekdays.

The old man wearing a thick cotton jacket full of dirt, behind his rickety body, walked slowly and methodically in the streets and alleys of Dongcheng, and the cotton jacket still exuded a very faint smell of hot and sour noodle soup. op

As he said in the previous conversation with Li Qingshan outside the general's mansion, as long as the master is not in Chang'an, he is the light, and the only taboo is the big array of Chang'an City, but he is not evil, he has good thoughts, his Taoist heart is pure and bright, even if what he does is heinous in the eyes of the whole world, he still firmly believes that he is bright. As long as the great array of Chang'an City is not fully launched, how can the Vermilion Bird Rune that originated from the light be able to discover him?

However, those who have cultivated to their level, even if they cannot understand the deepest laws of the flow of heaven and earth in the world, have already begun to have some kind of induction between heaven and earth, and can faintly understand what will appear in front of the river of time.

The old man felt that he would die in Chang'an City, and this feeling became stronger and stronger, as if he had seen the messenger of the underworld start digging his grave in Chang'an City, but he didn't know what would be written on the tombstone.

The end of life is not necessarily a sad thing, but just as Yan Se has nostalgia for the world, he also has regrets about the world~~ Back then, he once crossed the threshold with one foot and saw the wonderful world over there, but he was ruthlessly taken back by some sustenance, so he wanted to accept a successor before leaving this world, leaving his mantle and letting his successor take his place in the future to see the world clearly. It is very difficult for the rune master to have a true heir, and it is also difficult for the Great Priest of Light to have a real heir, Yan Se now has Ning Que, so he has no regrets, and he has not even thought that until the moment of the end of his life, there will be none, until he came to Chang'an City, came to Linforty-seven Lane, and saw Sangsang.

The old man stood outside the threshold of the old pen house, looking at the busy little maid in the shop, and his heart was full of admiration, joy, satisfaction and even moved to tears, feeling that although he had repeatedly violated Haotian's will in this life, at least in the last stage of human peace, Haotian still mercifully gave himself the most precious gift. There is no more suitable person in the world to be the heir of the Great Divine Officer of Light than this little girl, because there is no second person in this world who is cleaner than her and has no trace of impurities.

The old man crossed the threshold and walked into the old pen room, bowed to the busy little girl, and said, "Hello." ”

Sangsang turned around and put the large rag in his hand on the table, and replied, "Hello." ”

These days, she had long noticed that this pitiful-looking lonely old man often appeared in the alley, and Qi Sanye's subordinates had even asked her if she wanted to drive this old man away, but she thought that the other party was just an ordinary strange old man, so she refused to mention it, and she didn't even bother to pay more attention to it.

The old man asked, "Do you know what is the biggest difference between man and beast?"

Sang Sang didn't think about it, and directly shook his head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Then she grabbed the rag and prepared to move on to wiping the table.

The old man said sincerely, "Can you try to think about ......?"

Sang Sang thought for a moment this time and said, "Man is more beast than beast, so we are stronger than beasts, so we can eat beasts." ”

Hearing this answer, the old man obviously didn't have any mental preparation, and asked in surprise, "Why do you think so?"

Sang Sang shook his head and said, "I said I didn't know, this is when the young master sued me when I was a child." ”

The old man said with emotion: "Your young master is also a wonderful person when he thinks about it, either a great evil person or a great good person." ”

Sang Sang thought for a while and said, "The young master is the young master." ”

The words are not finished, and she does not have the habit of finishing the words, the other party understands if she can understand it, and it doesn't matter to her if she can't understand it, her meaning is actually very clear...... A son is a son, a mother is a mother, an elder brother is an elder brother, a husband is a father, and a young master is a young master.

The old man was silent for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, the biggest difference between humans and beasts is inheritance, birds and beasts do not hesitate to inherit their own essence and blood, while humans want to inherit the spirit, the similarity is that this inheritance contains a very strong desire, all want to let their traces in the world be longer. ”

After a pause, the old man looked at the little girl's slightly dark cheeks and said with a solemn expression: "If the bearer of the inheritance represents the root bones of the family or the Taoist lineage, then this strong desire will even become some kind of heavy responsibility. ”

In the end, the old man concluded: "This is the so-called aftermath.

Sang Sang opened his bright willow eyes, looked at the strange old man in front of him, thought for a long time and thought that he had figured it out, and asked seriously: "Do you want to find a wife to have children?" She looked the old man up and down, judged the age of the other party, and said: "If you are sure that you can still give birth, there are Yan girls who sell Yan girls in Dongcheng Renyazi, the price is not expensive, and it is easy to give birth." ”

The old man was in a trance for a while and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

Sang Sang was stunned for a while, shook his head slightly and said, "I can't, I can't...... Giving birth to someone else. ”
