Chapter 729: Redemption and New Legends
The stone wall is engraved with the portraits of Qin Zhong and Yugong, the two former gods, the portrait is holding two iron chains in her hands, binding her feet, this is the formation laid by Wang Zhice back then, for hundreds of years, including the little black dragon himself, no force can pull these two iron chains out of the wall, even if Chen Changsheng uses the Xiliudian and his own blood, he can only hope that he can see the possibility in two years, logically speaking, the stone wall attached to such a powerful formation must be isolated from all external vitality, and it is impossible to give birth to any plants, but now a clump of green leaves has grown。
There were only three green leaves, which were originally very fat and tender, but now they look a little thin and thin, and they seem to have lost a lot of energy.
Or is it because the root system of the green leaves is too developed?
Countless thin roots that are almost invisible to the naked eye grow from the lower end of the green leaves, spreading along the images on the stone wall, and some find the tiniest cracks, penetrate deep into the stone wall, and then grow almost frantically under the light of the rainbow.
The rainbow and the green leaves from the palace are trying to break the formation here.
The little black dragon didn't know what was going on, why was this, so she was very confused, and then nervous, her little face was pale, and the cinnabar mole between her eyebrows became more and more eye-catching.
......
......
It is not the stars that shine in the world, but the rainbow.
The colorful rainbow is colorless in one place, silently and unnoticedly illuminating the North New Bridge, and also shining on the frost flower shop.
There is a seemingly inconspicuous but actually heavily guarded garden in the Frost Flower Shop, called the Orange Garden, which was Mo Yu's residence back then, and is also the prison cell where she is now under house arrest.
The formation in the orangery was illuminated by a colorless and invisible rainbow, like thin snow under the scorching sun, quietly melting, without alarming anyone or the frogs hibernating in the snow.
There are a few small lanterns made of orange peel hanging from the window, which is very cute, and the light is red when it comes out, which is warmer than the real thing.
Mo Yu knelt on the futon, facing the direction of the palace, his eyes closed, his long eyelashes blinked slightly, and he felt extremely warm.
This is His Majesty the Pope's final redemption for her, or it has something to do with the fact that she arranged for Chen Changsheng to enter the Anglican Academy back then, or it has nothing to do with it, but it is all salvation.
The rainbow disappeared, and the important treasures of the state religion in the six halls including the Caoyue Hall gradually calmed down.
The cold in Beixinqiao was even worse, and the black hole in the snow seemed to be about to be cracked by the freeze.
The orange tree in the frost shop is a rare and beautiful picture with the newly frosted, the lamp in front of the window is still warm, and there is no one on the futon.
......
......
His Majesty's funeral took place soon after, as everything was prepared.
The White Emperor Castle and the southern missions did not leave Kyoto after the celebration, also because everyone was mentally prepared for it.
It is precisely because of the preparation that although the world is sad, it is not very shocked, and there is not much panic.
From autumn to winter, Da Zhou lost two saints in a row, and the wind and rain in all directions were even more deadly and wounded, if you count Su Li and the Southern Saintess who left ahead of schedule, in just a few years, the number of peak powerhouses of the human race has dropped sharply, but in the eyes of the world, the current demon clan has suffered greater losses because of internal strife, where is there the courage to invade the south.
Some people don't see it that way, such as His Majesty the Pope himself, who has returned to the sea of stars, and in addition, those who know the inside story are becoming more and more nervous as time goes by.
The palace has issued a great edict, and the whole world has already known that Chen Changsheng is the new generation of the pope of the state religion, although he has not officially succeeded to the throne.
Shockingly, no one saw him at the funeral of His Majesty the Pope.
This is something that is hard to imagine, but both the palace and the court are silent about it, and there seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two sides. What was that tacit understanding? Was it the agreement reached by the Pope and Shang Xingzhou after a long conversation on the night when Wang Po and Chen Changsheng killed Zhou Tong? Or were both sides waiting for that moment to come?
The New Year is approaching, the yellow paper tears off a page, the winter sun rises again, and many things will be different.
On that day, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be officially changed, the status of the young emperor will become unshakable, the succession ceremony will be held in the palace, and the state religion will usher in a new master.
The young emperor and the young pope were brothers.
Nothing like this has ever happened in history.
This also means that the emperor and the pope of the dynasty will be the students of Shang Xingzhou alone.
This is also something that has never happened in history.
From any point of view, this is the pinnacle of life that the world can imagine, and even before this event actually happened, it was simply unimaginable.
led the entire world to overthrow the rule of the Holy Queen of the Heavenly Sea, predicted that he might even participate in the fall of the Demon Lord, waved his hand to subdue the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, and the two apprentices who were personally raised would become the two most powerful people in the secular and the sacred, and today's Shang Xing Zhou is already a legend if not a god.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as true perfection in the world, and fate above the stars will not allow such a thing to happen.
That problem needs to be solved after all, no matter how people don't understand, why Chen Changsheng has to work against his teacher, no matter how people can't understand, why Shang Xingzhou dislikes and even dislikes this apprentice who is actually very popular...... In short, this issue must be addressed.
This is not just a matter between their master and apprentice, it is already related to the fate of the entire human race and the entire world.
What exactly will happen on New Year's Day?
The wind and snow kept falling, and the Caoyue Hall, Guiqing Palace, and Moss were all dyed white, and a lonely footprint could be seen on the snow.
The streets outside the palace were deserted, and there was a faint invisible force fluctuating between the famous stone pillars.
Whether it was the priests or the ministers of the palaces, the teachers and students of the Six Courtyards of the Qingteng League, or the more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the State Church, no one went out.
The imperial court maintained the highest level of vigilance in the military camps throughout Kyoto, and several gods led the world-famous Xuanjia heavy cavalry, returning from the northern snowfields to the south, stationed on the line of the Black Valley, if you calculate the distance, this terrifying ironclad torrent actually left the Northern Military Mansion twenty days ago, and His Majesty the Pope was still alive at that time.
The atmosphere in Kyoto is tense.
......
......
On the last evening before the arrival of the New Year, it was still snowing, and it could even be called violent.
This year's Kyoto was so cold that no one knew about it, largely because of the abandoned well not far from the Imperial City.
The afterglow of the setting sun pierced through the clouds and snowflakes with great difficulty, and fell on the palace walls, casting a faint twilight.
Suddenly, an unimaginable cold breath permeated the abandoned well. Whether it was dead leaves or soil, they were frozen incomparably harder in an instant, and even the ice and snow seemed to be frozen again in another incomprehensible form, and even the twilight seemed to freeze.
A very crisp sound, from the depths of the well to the surface, was already very faint, not even as clear as the crying that followed.
It was a little girl crying.
She kept crying, but the emotions she conveyed were different from time to time, sometimes she was very happy and excited, sometimes she was very sad and sad.
The sergeants in the imperial city and the people in the mansion all heard the little girl's cry, but they didn't know where it came from, they couldn't find it, and they didn't want to understand how it was possible for a little girl to stay outside in such a cold weather, still alive, and cry non-stop, crying from twilight until late at night, and still not stopping.
After that day, in addition to the legend of the evil dragon, a new legend appeared in the area of Kitashinbashi.
The protagonist of the new legend is a child bride who is killed by her ruthless mother-in-law.
