261: Awakening

The book of Divine Strange Chronicles records: In the tenth year of the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the sky descended on the boulder of burning flames, its shape was dark, about 100 zhang high, like a black mountain, like a meteor when it landed, and the fire was like a pillar, burning the sky. Emperor Wu of the founding of the Wu Dynasty said with a smile that it was a vision from heaven, and the heavens were rejoicing in the founding of the Wu Dynasty, which was a sign of great prosperity.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Shiwu began to yearn for immortality due to his increasingly weak body, and Emperor Shiwu no longer had an early dynasty, discarded the affairs of the dynasty, and spent countless gold and silver to gather cultivators from all over the world to seek immortality for his alchemy.

In the twenty-sixth year of the Wu Dynasty, the flame of the Black Mountain Stone of the Tianhuo Mountain Range was attenuated, and people could enter, and the First Wu Emperor was overjoyed to go there, and he saw the real Black Mountain Stone, claiming to be able to see the immortal gods, so he searched for thousands of miles of the Tianhuo Mountain Range to find an opportunity, but there was no gain.

In the twenty-eighth year of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Shiwu emptied most of the treasury and built the second palace around the stone of Montenegro, called the Tianhuo Divine Palace, only the royal bloodline could enter, and in the third year after the completion of the construction, Emperor Shiwu collapsed and Emperor Zhengwu ascended the throne.

In the thirty-third year of the Wu Dynasty, Emperor Zhengwu died young, was crushed by countless state affairs, went to the Tianhuo Divine Palace to find a way, and died of illness in the Divine Palace the second year, passing on the crown prince, and Emperor Longwu ascended the throne.

Emperor Longwu has a domineering personality, the means are ruthless and wise, do not believe in the so-called immortals at all, after ascending the throne, all the so-called monks will be dismissed or killed, under his governance, the Wu Dynasty that was gradually decadent began to quickly recover the style of the past, in the fortieth year, Emperor Longwu led the army to conquer in person, spent ten years, the barbarians were destroyed, and the world was recovered, and after ten years, Emperor Longwu created shipping, improved people's livelihood, greatly increased national strength, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, thriving, and all countries came to the dynasty.

Sixty-three years of the Wu Dynasty.

Fifty-three years old, known as the Dragon Emperor, Emperor Longwu has been dying, ten years of conquest has greatly injured his origin, the wise and martial Emperor Longwu in an early dynasty, overlooking the civil and military officials below, the old meaning of his eyes can not be concealed at all.

Emperor Longwu waved his big hand and said calmly: "I want to go to the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, and now the crown prince will rule the country for me." ”

"Your Majesty!" After the three emperors, the old national teacher who could only sit on the chair couldn't help but stop when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the Black Mountain Stone of the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace is just a legend, the prince is only thirteen years old, please Your Majesty take the overall situation first." ”

"I'm up to it."

Emperor Longwu shook his head, and moved into the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace on the second day, and a generation of wise and martial emperors couldn't stand the aging body and weaker spirit after all, and decided to seek immortality like the first emperor.

However, immortality was not obtained, and after the second year, Emperor Longwu fell ill and died in the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace.

The three emperors moved into the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, and died less than the following year, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace has been reduced to unknown since then.

But the strange thing is that the emperor of the Wu Dynasty not only did not demolish it because of the ominousness of the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, but every emperor would enter the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace in his old age, just like the previous emperor, and the obscurity of the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace did not seem to be a frightening curse to them.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years later.

The dynasty has a lifespan, the dynasty in the mortal world, the life span is not more than three hundred years, the Wu Dynasty experienced the heyday of the Dragon Wu Emperor era of the kingdom to the dynasty after the decline from prosperity, although the lord of Zhongxing reluctantly rose a little, but the national fortune of the Wu Dynasty has been declining.

After the death of Emperor Longwu, the subsequent emperors were not very skilled, but they still had great plans, trying in vain to achieve the great deeds of Emperor Longwu, they wanted to rule the whole world and all the countries on the other side of the sea.

Therefore, the three emperors before and after, spent countless gold, silver, treasures and manpower, fought for more than 20 years, and declared bankruptcy.

The Wu Dynasty began to weaken, and the Lord of Zhongxing barely maintained it for more than 20 years, and after recovering a little, the emperor went crazy again, and then the rivers went down, and by the time of the last Emperor Wu, the world under the leadership of the Wu Dynasty had long since fallen apart, and there were many countries.

One hundred and sixty-four years of the Wu Dynasty.

Emperor Wuwei, who was only fifteen years old, protected his sister, who was just nine years old, and kept her behind him.

The five first-class officials walked side by side, covering the sun like a high mountain, and the shadow shrouded Emperor Wuwei.

"Your Majesty," the general wearing the beast Kai and the majestic general looked down at Emperor Wuwei and said indifferently: "Please also ask Your Majesty and the princess to move to the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace." ”

"Wang Yuan, you are betraying the Wu Dynasty!" Emperor Wuwei roared, and some childish faces were full of anger, like crazy young beasts.

"Your Majesty, the fall of the Wu Kingdom is inevitable, and we have no choice, Your Majesty, you are very talented, if you give you another twenty years, it may not restore the prosperity of the reign of all nations during the reign of Emperor Longwu, but now, everything is too late."

The general sighed, but there was no sadness in his eyes, these words were just to give them psychological comfort and no burden.

Smack.

The general took off the saber from his waist and looked indifferently at the last royal bloodline of the two Wu dynasties: "Your Majesty, please go back to the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, this is your fate, if you don't go, Hugh will be ruthless." ”

"Go!" Emperor Wuwei gritted his teeth and said coldly, the matter has come to this point, he can only go to the Divine Palace, the Divine Palace that the emperors called the resting place of the gods.

There is still a glimmer of life to go to the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, if he doesn't go, it will be a certain death, and he only has this choice.

"Okay," said the general, who smiled and waved his hand, and a carriage stopped at the gate, "Your Majesty, princess, go." ”

Emperor Wuwei took a deep breath, took his sister's hand, and took one last look at the smiling faces in the eyes of the five officials, as well as the palace, and he strode into the carriage.

The carriage moved slowly, and finally it got faster and faster.

Inside the carriage, the nine-year-old Princess Huayang whispered with some curiosity: "Brother Huang, where are we going?" ”

Emperor Wuwei forced a smile, and he touched his sister's head: "Go to a place to see our father and ancestors." ”

"Yay!" Princess Huayang jumped up happily.

She didn't understand anything, Princess Huayang was born with a crippled intelligence, and at the age of nine she was only four or five years old.

It is written in the Divine Chronicles: Tianhuo Shrine is a miracle built around the stone of Black Mountain, the palace that Emperor Wu began to build, and under the bricks and tiles of several emperors after that, the Tianhuo Shrine can be called the Divine Palace on the ground, with golden brilliance and shining treasure.

The shrine is hot all year round, fearless of winter, and everything is added to the magic because of the Black Mountain Stone.

The stone of Black Mountain, the whole body is black, high and 100 zhang, shaped like a shield, every year it drops gravel, heats, flashes fire in the winter season, is a strange stone in the world.

After several days of hard work, Emperor Wuwei and his sister Princess Huayang finally arrived at the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace.

It was a cold winter, after the two entered the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace, a wave of heat came to their faces, dispelling the cold, Emperor Wuwei was very surprised, he took his sister and followed the heat wave to find the source.

Emperor Longwu and the following eras, the Tianhuo Divine Palace was quite lively, even if the next person would be changed every year, but the Wu Dynasty could easily support this consumption, but today, the Tianhuo Divine Palace is no different from the Cold Palace, and there are only five or six people left in the huge palace, and they are all old men.

The Heavenly Fire Divine Palace is a curse to outsiders, and it is also a forbidden place, because if anyone enters the life, it will die in less than a year, so the current Heavenly Fire Divine Palace is very deserted, and there is no one to take care of the Black Mountain Stone.

Crossing long bridges and walking past houses, Emperor Wuwei found the Black Mountain Stone called the Divine Stone by his ancestors in the depths of the Divine Palace.

This is the most precious treasure of their Wu Dynasty, and it is also the treasure that has been written into the family rules since Emperor Wu.

The Emperor of the Fan Wu Dynasty must enter the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace at the end of his life to find miracles.

"Brother Huang, what a big stone! It's still hot, so warm! Princess Huayang's mouth opened in surprise, it was the first time she had seen such a big stone.

It's like a mountain, standing on the ground.

Emperor Wuwei is also the first time to see the stone of the Black Mountain, in the winter season, this dark stone of the Black Mountain, like a burning flame, the surface is burning with fire.

No wonder it's called a sacred stone.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Wuwei couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

At this time, Princess Huayang suddenly stepped forward and picked up a black gravel the size of a fingernail under the Black Mountain Stone.

"Brother Huang, this big stone gave birth to a small stone!"

"What?" Emperor Wuwei was shocked, and when he stepped forward to look, Princess Huayang's chubby little hand had a small stone in her hand, and his nervous mood suddenly dissipated, but it was just a falling crumb.

Suppressing the irritability in his heart, Emperor Wuwei reluctantly smiled: "Okay, let's go eat." ”

Where are there any miracles, where are there any immortals, they are just the obsession of the emperors, except for the ability to dissipate heat, this is an ordinary meteorite outside the sky.

In this world, there have never been any immortals.

Emperor Wuwei glanced at the towering Black Mountain Stone, took his sister's hand, and left the place.

Bang bang bang ...

However, as he left, more and more rubble fell, and after a few breaths, it burned from the inside and disappeared.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a year rushed away like a white horse.

Half a year is sometimes enough to change a lot of things, Emperor Wuwei, who has a deep grudge and a ruined country, has already felt the curse of his family, his body is getting weaker and weaker during the Tianhuo Divine Palace, his spirit is getting worse and worse, and his previous ambition has long been dissipated.

Her younger sister, Princess Huayang, was not cursed, her spirit seemed to be getting better and better, maybe it was because she often went to the Black Mountain Stone? Emperor Wuwei didn't know why, but he wanted to know what the reason was.

Because he was dying.

Emperor Wuwei was only sixteen years old, but his face was tired and old, no different from his forties, he sat on the futon, looked at the sunset on the horizon, and looked at his sister who was playing with toys in front of him, his lips opened slightly, and he wanted to stop talking.

Finally, Emperor Wuwei couldn't help but speak: "Sister, why are you getting younger and younger." ”

He didn't want to die, he wanted to live forever, he still wanted to live.

Princess Huayang was still the same as before, she didn't hide it, and said with a smile on her face: "I don't know, Brother Huang, that big stone has given birth to more and more children recently, and it seems to have become more beautiful, do you want to go and see it." ”

Emperor Wuwei shook his head, he didn't want to go to that place.

"I'm still not going."

That place is the land of curses, Emperor Wuwei doesn't want to and doesn't dare to go again, he doesn't understand why the ancestors are not afraid of life and death, and come to this ghost place one after another.

"Okay, then I'll go, brother," Princess Huayang stood up and ran out happily.

Emperor Wuwei looked at Princess Huayang's energetic figure, he sighed, thought about it and stood up and followed.

Princess Huayang jumped in front of the tall Black Mountain Stone, she was surprised to find that there was a crack in the Black Mountain Stone, about the width of the palm of her hand, through the crack, Princess Huayang could see the inside like glass, faintly, she seemed to see an arm.

"Ah, Big Stone, why did you have such a big crack, you must have given birth to too many children, which made you feel pain," Princess Huayang stroked the stone of Black Mountain, very sad.

She was about to open her mouth when she noticed that the cracks in the Black Mountain Stone were getting bigger and bigger.

From the crack in the middle, like a spider's web, the crack spread throughout the stone.

The color of the glass is getting richer and richer, and the temperature is getting higher and higher, the blazing temperature will make Princess Huayang's face red, she opened her mouth and looked at all this in shock, the originally tall black mountain stone is burning like a flame at this moment.

"Ahh A scream of pain rang out.

Emperor Wuwei rolled to the ground with his bloodied eyes in his hands, wailing loudly and screaming.

"Brother Huang!" Princess Huayang hurriedly ran to Emperor Wuwei's side.

Rumble!

The ground shook, and the sky turned to the color of flames, as if it were burning.

The stone of Montenegro, which has stood for hundreds of years, is completely shattered and disintegrated at this moment.

The pillar of flame light rose into the sky and dissipated in an instant.

A tall, near-perfect figure was suspended in the air, long black hair flowed in the wind, eyebrows and eyes were slightly closed, and the golden flame lines at the center of the eyebrows were burning.

He opened his pale golden eyes, and his eyes were puzzled and confused: "Where am I?" ”

Li Yun muttered to himself, he only remembered that he received the baptism of sublimation in the sea of sublimation, because the process was too painful and caused him to pass out, and he didn't know anything else.

Zhen Yuan... No.

To be precise, it was already a better quality of energy, and Li Yun suspended a wisp of purple-gold energy that was more than a thousand times higher than the mass of the true element, and he used this energy to form a black power suit to wrap himself.

The baptism of sublimation should have ended, and Li Yun could feel that he was almost as powerful as a god now.

Pull up the mountains and the sea, but just wait.

As long as he wants, he can easily destroy everything in front of him.

And most importantly... Divine fire.

The power of the spiritual soul is extremely strong, and the divine fire hundreds of meters high almost bursts out of the body, and the pillar of flame light just now is Li Yun's divine fire, which is ignited by life, immortal and inextinguishable.

Li Yun put away his thoughts, and he saw the scene below, Emperor Wuwei covering his eyes and crying bitterly.

With a wave of his hand, the other party's eyes returned to their original state.

The Divine Fire is strong, the essence is not at the same level as that of human beings, the Divine Fire can be called a god, and human beings will naturally be injured or even die if they look directly at the Divine Fire Strong.

But this little girl is quite interesting, Li Yunduo glanced at Princess Huayang.

He didn't ask much, and now Li Yun wanted to know where exactly this place was, and how many years had passed.

"Where is this, it's been a few years since I came here."

Li Yun looked down at Emperor Wuwei, his pale golden eyes were like gods, majestic and full of divinity.

Emperor Wuwei stared blankly at Li Yun, who was suspended in the air.

"Back... Back to the gods. ”

"This is the Wu Dynasty, and it has been one hundred and sixty-four years since the appearance of the Black Mountain Stone."
