"The Holy Maiden said that if she can't come back, she will trouble Dean Xiao Chen, you will take us for the time being. ”

The girls of Nanxi Zhai saluted Chen Changsheng seriously, and their white skirts fluttered.

"Don't worry, the Holy Queen treats her as her own daughter, and His Majesty the Pope will not treat her well for your sake. ”

After returning to the small building, Tang Thirty-six explained to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng knew that this was indeed the truth, but why did Yourong have such an explanation to the women of Nanxi Zhai before going to the palace? Could it be that she knew that it would be difficult for her to come out after entering the palace? Why? What was she going to do in the palace? Is she still in the palace?

He unsheathed his sword, took out a pair of soft armor and threw it in front of Tang Thirty-six, and said, "Remember to help me send this thing to Huaiyuan and give it to Wang Po." ”

The soft armor was covered in blood, some deep or shallow sword marks, and a very thin sword hole, but the frenulum was cut off, which should be well repaired.

Su Moyu and Folded Sleeves didn't know what kind of soft armor this was, and Chen Changsheng had to specially order it to be sent to Huaiyuan to Wang Po.

The Tang family is rich in the world, and Tang Thirty-six's vision is naturally extraordinary, listening to the words Huaiyuan and Wang Po, he quickly guessed what this is.

"This is the Six Imperial Divine Armor?" he picked up the soft armor from the ground, looked at Chen Changsheng and asked in surprise.

Su Moyu and his folded sleeves were also stunned.

"Well, this was originally the Wang family's thing, and it happened to be returned to Wang Po, he should be very happy. ”

Chen Changsheng then took out a bronze mirror and handed it over, saying, "I don't know what this is, but it should also be a good thing, if you guess correctly, it should be able to restrain the bright power of the state religion." ”

This bronze mirror was supposed to be used by Zhou Tong to deal with the scepter of the state religion, which had not played a role in the battle before, but it could remain intact under the two broken knives, which made him feel a little interesting.

Tang Thirty-six took the bronze mirror and gasped: "Qingxian Mirror?"

Chen Changsheng only knew that there was a Qingxian Hall in the palace, but he didn't know that there was a bronze mirror with the same name in the world.

Folding his sleeves and raising his eyebrows, Su Moyu couldn't hold back any longer, walked in front of Tang Thirty-six, took the bronze mirror, and carefully wiped off the blood stains on it with his sleeve.

"Is this bronze mirror famous?" asked Chen Changsheng.

"Don't you ever look at the Hundred Weapons List?" Tang Thirty-six asked rhetorically, "Its position on the list is higher than your Innocent Sword!"

Chen Changsheng was stunned, thinking that he had cut it with a kitchen knife at that time, and he didn't see anything remarkable about this bronze mirror.

"What are you going to do, kill Zhou Tong or rob it?"

Tang Thirty-six walked up to him with the Six Imperial Divine Armor and was speechless: "How could it be possible to go out for so long and bring back two guys on the Hundred Weapons List?"

Chen Changsheng said: "These are all things on Zhou Tong's body, when I killed him, I took it back by the way." ”

There was a moment of silence, and the three of them looked at each other.

They were shocked when they knew that Chen Changsheng was going to kill Zhou Tong, but they didn't ask too much detail, because they didn't think that Chen Changsheng could really do this, and then Chen Changsheng also admitted his defeat, but if he was really defeated by Zhou Tong, he could only come back with the protection of the big man of the state religion, why could he take these two treasures from Zhou Tong?

They looked at Chen Changsheng and waited for his explanation. Chen Changsheng told what happened in the courtyard in the North Terracotta Hutong, but he still didn't say it too specifically.

"You actually won?" Tang Thirty-six looked at him like a monster.

Chen Changsheng said: "Since what you have to fight for is life and death, winning or losing is meaningless. ”

Tang Thirty-six was shocked and said, "But you won after all." ”

Chen Changsheng ignored him anymore and said, "You can see how to deal with this bronze mirror, if it is not easy to divide, it is okay to stay in the National Education Academy as a hospital." ”

Tang Thirty-six didn't like it when he heard this, and said, "The last words are such a thing, just explain it once, do you have to keep reminding us that you are a person who is about to die?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "This is not a last word, this is a matter of inheritance. ”

......

......

The palace in the deepest part of the palace, in the eyes of many people, does not fit the identity of His Majesty the Pope, because there are too many cornices outside the palace, cutting the sky into a well-like shape, or this is the origin of the word patio?

The night is getting deeper, and the night is getting darker, even like an invisible cloud, covering the stars in the night sky, and the cool wind of early autumn can't be dispelled. A voice sounded in the deepest part of the night, this voice was very calm and indifferent, with some feelings and vicissitudes, but it also gave people a feeling that this feeling and vicissitudes were what he deliberately wanted people to hear.

"I haven't seen the night sky here for almost twenty years. ”

Like many people in Kyoto tonight, His Majesty the Pope has not yet fallen asleep, he has just finished watering the green leaf potted plant, and is carefully wiping the water droplets on the leaves with a silk scarf, listening to the sound in the night outside the hall, he stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned to look over.

"If you hadn't been too eager, or if the story of the past twenty years hadn't happened. ”

The Pope said into the darkness of the night.

The man in the darkness of the night responded, "Or maybe I just didn't expect that you ended up on her side." ”

Hearing this, the wrinkles on the Pope's face seemed to be more profound, and he said slowly: "It's all in the past. ”

The voice in the night said, "Yes, it's all in the past, and we should talk about the present, tonight." ”

The Pope put the silk scarf in his hand next to the green leaf potted plant, walked to the stone steps outside the hall, looked at the night and said: "Until now, I still don't know what you want to do. ”

The cool night breeze blew the sackcloth on his body, fluttering away from the dust.

The voice in the night sank, as hard and indestructible as a golden stone: "What I want to do, you have always been very clear, but you did not agree with my opinion back then, and now that twenty years have passed, you know that your judgment back then was wrong, then you must stand by my side." ”

After hearing this, the Pope looked down at the shadow on the stone steps and fell into a long silence.

"Tianhai has the best bloodline talent and has the best position, but she is a woman, her vision is limited, her heart is problematic, the history of the past two hundred years has already proved this, if she continues to sit on the throne of the Great Zhou, even if the confluence of the north and south goes smoothly, it is impossible for the human race to defeat the demon race under her leadership. ”

The night breeze stirred the green trees outside the hall, the green leaves in the hall, and the light that leaked from the majestic and magnificent bright main hall behind them, all seemed to shake.

That's because in the night the man spoke again, and his voice became colder and more affirmative.

"Do you want the whole nation to be wiped out? Do you really want to see the descendants of the Chen royal family displaced, withering day by day, until the inheritance is broken? When we broke up at the National Education College, we had already agreed that I would be responsible for preserving the royal bloodline, and you would see her in Kyoto for a while. Twenty years of Chenguang disappeared like this, have you forgotten your original thoughts, and reveled in the pattern of the same heaven as her two saints? No, I have watched you with indifferent eyes in Xining Town for more than ten years, I will not watch you go on like this, and now when it is time for a showdown, I will not allow you to continue to stay in this unpopular palace, covering your eyes, as if you can't see that there are so many messy things in the world. ”

The Pope looked down at the faint shadow left by the corner of the stone steps and was silent for a long time.

After not knowing how long, he looked up into the darkness of the night and asked, "Where does your faith come from?"

In the night, the man said, "No one can resist the temptation, and the ripe fruit is waiting for her to pluck it on the branches." ”

"The child told me that a non-saint cannot defend herself, but she is already in the Holy Throne," the Pope said. ”

"The so-called saint in the world today is just a joke, how can she, a greedy and shameless woman, truly understand the divine law? If you are convinced that if you eat that fruit, you will be able to change your life against the heavens and enter the great realm above the divine hermitage, do you think she will be able to endure it? Do you know how painful it was for him to endure the night when he was ten years old, when the fragrance was overflowing? If it weren't for the greedy and stupid golden dragon who came down again at the risk of falling into the realm, I went to the cloud tomb to fight it, maybe I would have eaten him at that time!"

The man's voice in the night became cold and cruel: "What's more, in her opinion, this is what she must do to complete the change of life against the sky, it is the most ruthless requirement of the Heavenly Dao, the fruit that falls from her body is finally eaten by her, where is there a more perfect Heavenly Dao cycle than this? I can't see it, how can she see it?"

The Pope's voice became a little tired, and he said with a sense of guilt that could not be easily relieved: "You have succeeded in deceiving me, and you have deceived Merissa, and you did not say in your letter who you had to sacrifice in this matter, let alone who was the one who had to be sacrificed. ”

"When the fruit is ripe, it is always eaten by people, whether it is poisonous or not. ”

"At first, I thought that by letting the fruit ripen as quickly as possible, I would be able to plant it in the fertile soil as soon as possible and help it grow into a towering green tree. ”

"When the fruit is ripe, if it is not eaten, it will rot after all, then the child will die anyway, and what is the problem with his mortal fate in exchange for such a great benefit for all mankind?"

But the boy himself didn't know all this. ”

"Everyone has what they want to do, but not everyone can make decisions about their own destiny and have the power to choose. ”

"Are you the only one who has the right to choose?"

"Because I can offer you and the world the best ....... ”

"Do you know what choice I need and the world to make?"

"Merissa is bent on returning to the throne, you only care about the survival of the human race, he is the son of Tianhai and the first emperor, no one will oppose him, and please believe me, he is the smartest and greatest young man on this continent, he is the most suitable successor to the throne of the Great Zhou, and the most suitable future leader of mankind. ”

"But that kid is also your disciple. ”

The voice disappeared for a long time in the night before it rang out again.

"But he was first and foremost a member of the royal family. From the first moment of his existence in this world, he has to take responsibility for the survival of the royal family, and has the obligation to shed blood for the royal family. ”
