Chapter 442: Sleepwalking in the Heavens
Looking at Ao Qingyin's back as he walked out, Xiao Hao's face was still gloomy and indescribable. After three days, if Xiao Hao still can't agree to Ao Qingyin's conditions, then Ao Qingyin will start to contact Confucianism, Famo, and even people from other schools of thought - ready to change the monarch.
Xiao Hao believes that Ao Qingyin has done it, and this is definitely not intimidation. But Xiao Hao also understands that his position is really a little unstable. To put it bluntly, Xiao Hao can sit in this position, or the need for balance. Of course, Xiao Hao has also tasted the benefits of this position now, not to mention anything else, at least he has reached the level of the peak of the sun and the moon, and it takes almost no effort, almost naturally.
But Xiao Hao also understands that he has always been a "lonely person", which is determined by his position: as an emperor, behind the seemingly infinite glory, he is actually relatively lonely. If Xuguo does not collapse, then Xiao Hao is high, but if Xuguo collapses, Xiao Hao's best way is to run away immediately, and he must not hesitate to run.
That night, Xiao Hao pushed off the seductive Tai Jiwei, sat quietly in the study alone, and fell asleep in the study like this. Xiao Hao is really tired, he looks brilliant all these years, but he is also walking on thin ice. And today's sudden showdown of Ao Qingyin was suddenly like the last straw, making Xiao Hao unable to bear these great changes for a while.
The great changes in heaven and earth, all kinds of changes and crises, have been constantly squeezing Xiao Hao's strength and wisdom; since the sudden instability of Shushan, Xiao Hao has never rested well.
At this moment, Xiao Hao was finally exhausted. People will be tired after all, even immortals will be tired.
Lying on the desk, Xiao Hao fell asleep. Qingyue didn't know when she came to the bookstore. Gently put on a coat for Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao, who was sleeping, stretched out his hand indiscriminately and pulled Qingyue's jade arm over as a pillow, and for a while, a faint fragility was revealed from Xiao Hao's body.
"Sleep, sleep......" Qingyue gently stroked Xiao Hao's back as if she was coaxing a child.
And at this time, no one knew that Xiao Hao was actually dreaming. And it's not your average dream. In a daze, Xiao Hao's soul seemed to be riding on his own luck, the Purple Gold Dragon, swaying upward. The sky, the sky in the dream is not a blue sky and white clouds, but a sky full of countless cracks, and in each crack there must be a stump and a broken arm, and the cruel scene of the entire battlefield of gods and demons. Some of the cracks were still bleeding, golden, purple, red, brown, black...... All sorts of things, and occasionally a near-death scream.
Flying on the dragon, Xiao Hao carefully avoided these cruel scenes. But the body can't fly upwards on its own, flying higher and higher. High in the sky, the cracks are getting fewer and fewer, but the cracks are getting bigger and bigger, and some of the cracks are chaotic, as if there are countless gray and white points of light mixed with a strange mist surging.
Xiao Hao turned his head and looked around, and found that in the surrounding heaven and earth, there were countless "worlds", worlds like Dongsheng Shenzhou, which were descending faster or slower; Some continue to shatter, while others begin to merge, and countless beings are wailing, but they can only reluctantly accept the inescapable calamity. There are only a few who are highly capable, or they are unlucky. in order to survive such a disaster.
Suddenly, the cracks around him disappeared completely, and the sky was full of light, and colorful clouds drifted in the sky, and the whole world was peaceful and pure. If you don't look at the world below, you think you've come to the legendary world of perfect mythology.
And in this beautiful sky, some beautiful "worlds" emerge on the horizon. These worlds are full of exotic flowers and plants, decorated with rainbow lights, and danced with fairy birds and beasts.
Suddenly, a road that seemed to extend from the bamboo slips extended to the feet of Xiao Hao and Shenlong, and there seemed to be words on the bamboo slips. Xiao Hao looked over, and it was a volume of "The Book of Songs", one of the Confucian classics! Every word is very simple, but there is always an inexplicable power contained in it. Xiao Hao didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't remember that he was asleep, as if he was already surviving in this world.
Just when Xiao Hao hesitated, an inexplicable force appeared on the bamboo slip to wrap Xiao Hao, and then this force pulled Xiao Hao and the purple gold divine dragon under Xiao Hao's feet to fly towards the sky; at the end of that was a relatively huge land, maybe it was not very large in the surrounding world, it could only be regarded as medium, but Xiao Hao had an inexplicable feeling - this world was stronger and more vast than Dongsheng Shenzhou! A feeling that it was indescribable.
Shout...... A streamer flew from the sky, and the cold breath made Xiao Hao feel like his soul was going to freeze from afar. When he saw this attack, Xiao Hao felt as fragile as a bubble!
"Shield!" A voice of the bamboo slip striker's spell, and an even lazy voice sounded in the ten directions of heaven and earth at the same time, and then I saw a 'shield' word quickly fly out, blocking between Xiao Hao and the streamer, and the word 'shield' turned into a shield like a turtle shell.
All of this happened in an instant, and everything made Xiao Hao have no time to react now.
While...... The whole heaven and earth shook like water ripples, and the streamer and the 'shield' collided together, and Xiao Hao could only see clearly at this time that the streamer turned out to be a flying sword.
After the impact, the flying sword returned and was about to leave here.
"Stay, there are friends from afar, and treat each other as courtesy. "There seems to be a simple and solemn dance condensed by phantoms between heaven and earth, and the sound of the bell and ding ensemble; suddenly the fleeing streamer began to slow down by itself, and then turned around and flew towards Xiao Hao again; when Xiao Hao reacted again, the small flying sword had turned into a small sword the size of an ordinary green jade hairpin, and floated quietly in front of Xiao Hao.
"If someone gives you a greeting gift, don't be polite. An inexplicable voice sounded in Xiao Hao's heart.
Xiao Hao was already a little numb for a while, but he bowed forward very politely, and then picked up the small sword that was only three inches long with both hands, and carefully and solemnly inserted it into his bun.
The path formed by the bamboo slips of "...... swish" retracted, and Xiao Hao saw that the world in the distance was enlarged in front of him, and soon he could see the jade rabbit carved like white jade, the green grass carved like green jade, the tall pines and cypresses that shimmered with millilight, and the sound of the wind like singing......
The abode of the saint, all things have spirits! Inexplicably, this sentence appeared in Xiao Hao's heart.
Swish...... The bamboo slips disappear. Xiao Hao landed on the ground, and the soil on the ground exuded a heart-warming fragrance.
The two jade rabbits jumped in front of Xiao Hao, and suddenly turned into two boys, a man and a woman, as if they were fairy children who came out of a fairy tale, "Cedar and Lanzhu have seen His Majesty Xiao Hao." Please come with us, Your Majesty. ”
"What kind of place is this?" Xiao Hao was still a little confused.
"This is the place where the last three days were, and this is one of the fragments of the Qingwei Heaven in the Jade Qing Realm. Now it is 129,600,000,000 li and is named the Three Emperor Heavens. ”
"Oh...... The more Xiao Hao knew, the more confused he became, but he was still very confused as to why he came here-As mentioned earlier, Xiao Hao had forgotten what he was doing before.
Xiao Hao stepped on the purple dragon, but the two rabbits were lying on a particularly large "lotus leaf", rolling up a gust of wind and carrying the three of them to fly forward.
Far away, Xiao Hao passed by a town where there were also ordinary people, heard the sound of Lang Lang reading, saw the immortals flying with the sword, saw the strange mountains and rivers, and finally came to a boundless city. This city is very special, first of all, it gives a certain "solemnity" at first sight. There is no bustle here. All the buildings are "natural", and the whole is mainly blue-gray.
But here, there are often fairy birds playing happily, and auspicious beasts stepping on the clouds. Even Xiao Hao saw that a few strong men who could not suppress the wind and rain demon gods were actually - watching the door!
"What the hell is this place?" Xiao Hao's heart was filled with countless doubts. Although he knew what the Three Emperors were here, he was still confused.
How did you get here? What exactly is here? Will there be any danger? Or will there be some adventure?
The two fairy children seemed to be very famous, and where they passed along the way, there were even people who stopped to give way, all of which made Xiao Hao a little puzzled.
At last in the middle of the huge city, in front of a simple mansion lined with pines and cypresses, at the door of which there were two samurai with swords. The pressure on Xiao Hao from the warriors made Xiao Hao's heart extremely heavy - the gatekeeper turned out to be a powerful existence like a god.
The people at the door saw Cedar and Lanzhu. Direct release. After entering the gate, Xiao Hao saw the inner world dressed up like the inside of Confucianism.
Finally, Xiao Hao followed the two little rabbits to a small bamboo forest, there was a simple and elegant pavilion in the bamboo forest, and there was a middle-aged man in the pavilion, and the middle-aged man was holding a bamboo slip, which was a volume of "Book of Songs".
You don't need two bunnies to speak. Xiao Hao took the initiative to go up: "Xiao Hao has seen his predecessors. ”
The middle-aged man turned his head, Xiao Hao's eyes widened suddenly, this appearance is the Confucius hanging on the wall of Confucianism, but it is a little younger. The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Hao and sat down slowly. He smiled softly and said in a warm voice: "Sit down." ”
"This ......" knew that the opposite side was likely to be the old man Confucius himself, Xiao Hao suddenly didn't dare to sit down, or dare not act casually.
Confucius had very high requirements for etiquette, and Xiao Hao felt that maybe he walked a little bigger, and he might be scolded with his head and face covered, and then he would leave a bad impression.
However, the middle-aged man seemed to see through Xiao Hao's thoughts, and suddenly laughed loudly without the image of a gentleman, "Don't care about those false courtesies." True respect is in the heart. Back then, I was so focused on my appearance that I was cocooned with myself. Later, I figured out that excessive observance is actually the real ignorance, after all, the world is always changing, and nothing can be set in stone. ”
"Oh......" Xiao Hao suddenly understood, but the middle-aged man also indirectly indicated his identity, he was Confucius!
After bowing again, Xiao Hao sat down carefully.
The two little rabbits next to "Ding Dong ......" have already brewed tea, and the faint fragrance of Xiao Hao's body is fragrant, smelling this wonderful fragrance, Xiao Hao actually has the illusion of washing away the mortal dust, as if some invisible dirt in the body has been removed.
"There's nothing to entertain, just a little coarse tea, don't think I'm stingy. ”
Xiao Hao was dumbfounded, no matter what, he would never have thought that this Confucius would open and close his mouth 'you and me', which is completely inconsistent with the record. But perhaps after becoming a master, Confucius has completely changed, or has other perceptions. After all, according to Xiao Hao's memory, Confucius should be more than 100,000 years old today, and some changes are normal.
"Thank you seniors for tea. Xiao Hao didn't dare to be too presumptuous. After all, this is Confucius, and to be honest, Xiao Hao's heart is still in a mess. Of course, for the fragrant tea in front of him, Xiao Hao can still distinguish the good from the bad, just the fragrance has the ability to cleanse the dirt, this is definitely not a "coarse tea".
However, Xiao Hao didn't dare to gulp down now, in the face of such a legendary figure, no one dared to indulge.
As if seeing Xiao Hao's restraint, Confucius suddenly did something that surprised Xiao Hao; he saw Confucius suddenly leaning back, and three green bamboos suddenly appeared behind him, which became the back of the chair; and then Confucius actually lifted Erlang's legs!
Xiao Hao almost stared out of his eyes.
"Haha, be surprised. Oops, it's so tiring to be serious in front of others all the time. But boy, if you dare to say this, the old man will definitely make you regret coming to this world. ”
Let's ...... A drop of cold sweat slipped from Xiao Hao's head and then dripped onto the table. The world has gone mad, and the identification is complete!
"Haha......" Seeing Xiao Hao's appearance, Confucius suddenly laughed, "Okay, I won't talk to you about it." Do you know why you were summoned here?"
"Please let me know. "In front of the masters, you must pretend to be stupid, so that the masters can feel superior.
Xiao Hao has learned a lot from the officials around him.
"I've been in a lot of trouble lately, haven't you?" Confucius continued to cross Erlang's legs, without any image to speak of.
"Yes!" Xiao Hao was very honest.
"You've been doing well lately, and we've been watching a few of our old guys. Just do it. Don't be afraid of trouble, a few of our old guys will support you. Of course, don't do anything wrong.
Originally, I didn't want to summon you now, but the world is changing too fast, and all the gods and demons can't hold their breath, and I'm afraid that you kid will throw off Xuguo and run away, so I have to summon you now. ”
"Senior, the kid won't run away. The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies, this is the determination of the boy. ”
"Forget it, you are a little hooligan in your heart, the Son of Heaven defends the country, and the king dies in the society?
"Hehe......" In the face of the masters, they must not justify. Xiao Haoshen's samadhi.
"Forget it, I called you here today, in addition to cheering you up and supporting you, it is also to guide you to enter the Heavenly Mandate level. The level of the sun and the moon is no longer enough to meet the current situation. (To be continued......)
