Chapter 50: "Something Else"
Early the next morning, Zuyang City, the Imperial Palace.
Carved beams and painted buildings, dragon pattern vermilion columns, curtains hanging down, this is a palace.
In the palace, the guards stood tall and did not squint, and the attendants walked frequently and behaved appropriately, showing the royal majesty.
After the sandalwood carved dragon case, Li Yichen, the monarch of the New Han Dynasty, looked at the second son Li Zebin standing in front of him, lowered his eyes, and said for a long time:
"The fifteen warlocks who have fallen from the Cave Heaven Warfall, their aftermath cannot be neglected, and the monthly pension must be sufficient, you can do this."
After a fierce battle in the evening, although it was not long, but fierce enough, Li Zebin, who was in danger of dying, agreed in a deep voice.
He still had some tiredness on his face, and he continued to state what happened after the cave with some complexity in his heart:
"Those Yinshan Heavenly Boats directly crashed through the ground and broke through the boundary, and the residual movement can be described as earth-shattering, and the wolf barbarian heroic spirits who were still on the scene were almost wiped out in the boundary-breaking spirit pressure."
"The Xunfeng Bead that the monarch's father gave to his sons before, originally the sons could not use it, but fortunately, the ancestors gave the power to activate, and the sons and daughters used all their mana to urge the bead spell, so that they could escape with the rest of the clansmen."
"After the earth god was killed by the ancestors, the remnants of the earth people were also killed, the cave heaven was violently broken many times, most of the spiritual energy was lost, and the cave heaven and earth only gods, there were already signs of instability, the ancestors directly sent us out of the cave. Before returning to the present world, the ancestor also left a message for his sons, saying that the targets of Yinshan Jun and the earth god were thorns, but they did not find anything abnormal in him during their inspection, so let us continue to investigate in this world. ”
Although the maintenance is very good, Li Yichen, who is really old, nodded slightly, pinched his eyes with his eyes closed, thought for a moment, and asked:
"The other surviving warlocks, do you look at their demeanors, have they also been mentioned by the ancestors of their respective sects?"
"Back to the monarch's father, some of them don't move, but there are also people like Luo Lie who can't hide their thoughts, they look at the thorns with different expressions, and they think that their ancestors have also sent them a message."
Li Zebin bowed, he observed the expression of his fellow clan for the first time after returning to the world, and he did not hesitate to reply at this time.
"Is that so...... I have to think about it, Zebin, you go down and rest first. ”
"You can keep the Xunfeng Pearl, there is the power left by the ancestors on it, you may be able to take this opportunity to understand more and break into the second-layer spiritual sea as soon as possible."
Li Yichen showed a slight old state, and said with a somewhat complicated mood.
Li Zebin was overjoyed in his heart, bowed down and retreated:
"Yes, the retainers are retired."
Looking at the back of his second son in the distance, the brows of the new Han monarch, who was nearly sixty years old, gradually wrinkled, and his mood was complicated and indescribable.
At his age, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the next level of the Spirit Sea no matter what, and no matter how he maintains his lifespan, he can live for fifty or sixty years at most.
It is recorded in ancient books that when the aura was prosperous, the first-floor Linghai Warlock who cultivated the authentic Xuanmen lived at most two Jiazi.
Now that the second-layer spiritual sea has opened, it is not considered a prosperous spiritual energy, and he doesn't think that he can live to the limit of Erjiazi.
"Third child, I hope you can live up to your father's high expectations and be promoted as soon as possible."
In the quiet hall, the monarch behind the wooden case whispered to himself.
————
Cabinet, official residence.
In the quiet room, Thorn Thorn and Thorn Yunhan sat across the wooden table, and there were several plates of exquisite snacks on the table, which were swept away by the hungry Thorn.
There is an incense burner on the case, and the smoke is faint, which effectively resolves the fatigue of thorns.
Jing Yunhan gushed endlessly, telling the difference between the cave and the blessed land one by one, these are all things that Thorn Thorn has known for a long time, but it is the secret of this era.
The thorns listened quietly, but their minds gradually wandered out of the world:
"In the cave heaven before, there were also Xia clan ancestors who asked me a few words, wanting to ask why the two earthly gods were targeting me. Although I pretended not to know how to pass the buck, they must have given orders to the surviving Xia Warlocks. ”
"The horse-faced person has never been the one who hides his heart, his appearance reminded me at once, and the expressions of the other surviving warlocks were also a little strange, as if they were secretly observing me, especially Li Zebin, the second son of the royal family."
"The mission of the Earth God Ruins...... The real cause turned out to be this, and I finally understood. Hey...... I was surprised. ”
Just when Jing Zithorn was thinking about something else, Jing Yunhan finished talking about the secret, raised the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and the tone of his words changed:
"Zi Thorn, after listening to what I said earlier, you should also understand that the warlocks of the younger generation of Xinhan are actually potential competitors to each other."
"Especially between you and Li Zeyan, he was originally the youngest warlock in Xinhan, and he was the one most likely to achieve the earth, but after you came, this person became you."
Thorn was distracted while listening, and when he heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and looked stunned.
Jing Yunhan put down the teacup and whispered, the words clear and heavy:
"Ancient books record that before a warlock is promoted to the third level of the spiritual sea, it is a matter of talent and resources, the former is born, and the latter can also be fought for with hard work. But further on, it comes to the person. ”
"The fourth layer of the spiritual sea, only the earth lord can be promoted!"
In the end, this middle-aged man had a solemn face, and he almost said a word.
Hearing this, Thorn's expression instantly became solemn.
The role of his previous life, the strongest lonely city was only the peak of the second-layer spiritual sea, this kind of real secret, he really didn't know.
Now that he got this news, many of his previous puzzles were naturally answered, and he realized in his heart:
"I see...... No wonder I just arrived in Xinhan, this uncle is so kind to me, and those ministers are very enthusiastic, it turns out that the real key is here. ”
After Uncle Jing Yunhan confirmed that he was the bloodline of the Jing family, he treated him as a grandson and a grandson, and there were all kinds of treatments, if he wasn't worried that he had not returned to the family for a long time and his sense of belonging was not enough, I am afraid that the spells of the descendants of the clan would have been passed down a long time ago, and he would not ask what the spells he cultivated were at all.
At first, he thought that it was his uncle who wanted the Jing family to prosper, but now that he looks at it, it seems that it is just a secondary cause.
Xinhan, the state system is decentralized, divided into Kyushu, and the states are autonomous. This separation of powers, one is the limitation of the size of the power, and the other is the limitation of the time of the power.
At the same time, in order to prevent the senior members of the dynasty from staying in high positions for too long, the party was at odds with each other, and even the length of office and the number of years of office of the princes were limited.
The state ministers are elected from the twelve warlock sects in the state, and they serve for five years, and they will be replaced at the end of the term, and only warlocks over the age of forty can participate in the election.
This is because the young and middle-aged warlocks are in the prime of life, and they are worried that their excessive desire for power will lead to a large number of mountains in the court, so only older warlocks can take the position, which is the unspoken rule.
Under this rule, even the royal monarch ascended the throne to obey this rule.
It is impossible to say who can get the position of minister, so each family attaches great importance to promoting the younger generations, and under normal circumstances, they will not suppress the juniors because of the difference between the descendants, and even promote them for the future of the family.
This is the decentralized state system, in which various industries flourish, and this system has long been integrated into all aspects of NEXCOM.
Thorn nodded knowingly:
"Uncle, I understand, who do you want to come to this cave to fall into, the New Han Sect has already reached a consensus to compete fairly?"
Jing Yunhan nodded, was silent for a moment, and continued:
"Although the consensus has been reached, we have a tacit understanding on general things and will not tear our faces, but this is the position of the earth, and this is the evidence of immortality...... Now is the great era of reiki revival, the old rules will be broken, and the new rules will be re-established, even if it is me, I am not sure if anyone will dare to break the rules in the face of the world's condemnation. ”
"I knew that after you went to the cave alone, I lived a lot of years in vain, and I boasted that I was good at cultivating qi, and I was even scared that the six gods had no master."
Speaking of this, Jing Yunhan shook his head and smiled bitterly, laughed at himself, and instructed Jing Zithorn:
"Zijiao, your life is not only your own, but also your family, you must be cautious, when the chaos in the capital is over, I will take you back to Qingzhou to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors."
In these words, the affection was sincere, and Thorn smiled and said yes, and then used the excuse of physical and mental exhaustion to go back to the house to rest.
Lying on the bed, the incense burner lit the incense to help him sleep, and the thorns lay down with a slightly condensed expression, and since he called the new man, the things that happened to the people he saw flashed in front of him one by one.
Jing Yunhan gave all kinds of generous treatment, on the one hand, the future of the family, and on the other hand, the posthumous treatment.
This is also the reason why the princes are affectionate.
They thought that they had the greatest chance of being promoted to the third layer of the Spirit Sea to achieve the earth's deification, and they themselves were old, and they had only a few decades left in their lives.
When their old souls fall into the underworld, if he is in charge of the cave heaven by thorns, they can rely on these past feelings to ask for an arrangement for the cave sky.
There are one hundred and eight sects in the New Han Dynasty, which sect does not have an ancestor to worship?
After so many years of inheritance, there are already rules for the distribution of incense popularity in the current world, and if Jing Yunhan and other ministers fall into the underworld, I am afraid that at most they will have to enjoy the ration of national qi to maintain their own existence, and don't even think about it.
In this case, it is only natural that they will put the treasure on the youngest warlock of the new Han Dynasty, a possible cave heaven and earth in the future.
"That's ...... so"
Jing Yun's cold treatment was given to him, and the other ministers even proposed marriage to him several times, on the one hand, they were thinking about the future of the family, and on the other hand, they were thinking about themselves.
Who in this world is not selfish?
In interpersonal communication, selfishness is true, material exchange is true, feelings are also true, sometimes these things penetrate each other and are integrated, there is no need to investigate too deeply.
It was himself, before awakening his memory, how could he not have the attraction of beauty and material things to Ye Qingyan's young Mu Ai?
Thorn Thorn is not averse to this kind of thing, people need each other, there is a relationship of affection, and there is also an exchange of practical interests, he will not feel that others have other plans for him and break off the relationship, but accept it calmly.
You must know that according to what he saw and heard in his previous life, how many people died to the end, just hoping that someone would have "other plans" for him.
Except for parents, even siblings may not be able to do it.
