With a gust of north wind, wearing a green shirt, this old man with cloudy eyes and a slightly rickety body came to the temple.

The sound was like a beam made of dead wood being blown by a strong wind, some bitter, some unpleasant.

But at this time, Zeng's voice could only be bitter.

What should have been a generous statement of self-sacrifice now came out of his mouth like atonement.

Xu Ningqing first glanced at Master Zeng in surprise, then lowered his head, sighed, and shook his head.

At this time, the high priest and Su Qing and Mo Han also came out.

Su Qing saw that Xu Ningqing was still half-kneeling on the ground, so he hurriedly helped him up, and he didn't know what to call this legendary senior.

If you look at it according to his parents, you should call the pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion in front of him an uncle or uncle, but if you look at it according to his master, the one in front of him should be his grandfather.

Xu Ningqing seemed to see Su Qing's embarrassment, with a hint of relief on her face, she looked at the two brothers and said softly: "The good son of the Tuoba family, call me Uncle Xu!"

Su Qing and Mo Han nodded and shouted Uncle Xu in unison.

Su Qing helped Xu Ningqing up and sat on the stone on the side, and only now could he clearly see the rumored person.

He was not as chic as he imagined, his long hair on his temples was white, his face was wrinkled like a small ravine, his face was peaceful, and he was wearing a green shirt, like an ordinary private school teacher. When people look at it, they unconsciously feel a little closer.

He is not as legendary as he imagined, which makes people feel ordinary.

But those who know his past know how difficult it is to remain ordinary after standing at the peak.

Xu Ningqing hugged Xu Chang'an, who was only breathing weakly, and looked at the high priest.

He had always known that the Nine Dragons Talisman made of the blood of the bones was placed in this temple.

But he couldn't say it, even if it was a good brother Xuanyuan Chutian, he couldn't tell it. He knew that since the Empress of the Holy Dynasty had suffered a heavy blow, his brother had an almost pathological jade hope for this Nine Dragons Talisman.

But he was a little ashamed, and he didn't allow others to save his wife, but he allowed himself to come and ask this Nine Dragons Talisman to save his son.

He lowered his head, there were always hundreds of thoughts rushing into his mind recently, including the figure of his son, the determination of Hong Ziyan, and the disappointment of his brother.

Xu Ningqing sighed, in fact, everyone has a selfish side, but his selfishness is covered up by his son's special physique.

The high priest glanced at Xu Ningqing, who was already sitting down, and the Zeng Fuzi who was half-kneeling on the ground.

Xu Ningqing knew what the high priest meant, so he said to Su Qing: "Hurry up and help Master Zeng up!"

Hearing this, Zeng Fuzifang stood up with Su Qing's support.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the high priest waved his sleeves and said: "This Nine Dragons Talisman belongs to the Tuoba family of my Northern Ice Field, and now with the consent of the two Tuoba family members, Xu Changan can be rescued." ”

No one was surprised by this result.

Not to mention the love between Su Qing and Xu Changan, just the demon sealing sword body alone is worth saving them.

As he spoke, the high priest walked towards Xu Ningqing and took Xu Changan from his arms.

"Sword Pavilion and Iron Sword Mountain, the stakes are very high, you go first!"

"But ......" Xu Ningqing paused, and then said, "Didn't you say that you want to think that the Peak Open Heaven Realm uses itself as a guide to reseal the Nine Dragon Talisman?"

The high priest looked at Xu Ningqing with a smile on his face.

"That was without the consent of the Tuoba family. ”

Xu Ningqing didn't know much about how to use this Nine Dragons Talisman, so he could only believe what the high priest said.

"Sword refining and sword protection is the most important thing, hurry up! I swear in the name of the Temptar Celestial God, and in three months' time, you will be able to see the children alive. ”

Xu Ningqing closed his eyes, he stood up, and solemnly sent Xu Changan to the arms of the high priest.

For him, it was a father's hope. Xu Ningqing didn't want to mention any righteousness in the world at this time, he just pinned his father's hopes on this temple.

The high priest took Xu Changan and said to Xu Ningqing: "Okay, we're about to start, you go back to the pavilion first!"

Xu Ningqing had tears in his eyes, he was no longer a legend at this time, all the glory he had once had disappeared, and he was just a father at this time.

He bowed deeply to the high priest, and the high priest smiled quite easily, and let Xu Ningqing leave.

However, when Xu Ningqing left, he suddenly stopped Master Zeng.

"Master Zeng, let's go together, at least the ice field is on the way. ”

Zeng Fuzi glanced at the high priest, who closed his eyes and nodded meaningfully.

The two turned into Changhong and soon disappeared into the sky.

The high priest hurriedly carried Xu Changan back to the temple, pulled Xu Changan's sleeve, and saw the purple pillar of light on his wrist flickering on and off, and the high priest's brows furrowed.

"This same life ring can last for seven days at most, otherwise the two little ones will be gone. ”

When Su Qing heard this, he was immediately anxious.

"What should we do, Priest?"

The high priest glanced at the two brothers and said only one word.

"Wait!"

"Wait?" Su Qing's face was full of suspicion, the high priest had clearly said just now that only the blood of their two brothers was needed to save people, why wait?

"Wait for a peak to open the heavens. ”

Hearing this, Su Qing and Mo Han had a look of surprise on their faces.

"And you, Priestess?"

"Xu Ningqing is in his prime, and there are some things that he has to complete, so I deceived him away. ”

Su Qing and Mo Han were stunned for a moment, looking at the priest of the temple.

......

When Xu Ningqing and Zeng Fuzi arrived in Tongzhou, they parted ways.

Xu Ningqing thought about it and headed towards Chang'an first.

If you have to say that it has changed, it is a lot more prosperous, more gardens, and more buildings

Pavilion.

The most important thing is that there are many more smiles on the faces of the people than back then.

When Xu Ningqing arrived at the gate of the city, he went all the way, and no one cared.

Eventually, he walked into the palace and even came to the Qianlong Palace.

The Holy Emperor likes to sit alone in the Qianlong Palace, and he likes this feeling of loneliness.

Without the right people, letting the fireworks fill the sky will only add a little bit of loneliness.

When he saw this man appear in the main hall, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The two men looked at each other for a long time, and finally just turned into a sentence.

"You're old. ”

"You're old too. ”

On this day, the Holy Emperor stayed in the Qianlong Palace, and at night, the palace maid came in to take charge of the lamp, and he scolded him.

Eventually, a bright moon appeared in the early spring sky, and he went back.

No one knew what news he had received on this day, but after he returned, the emperor, who was at the level of a great grandmaster and was in the prime of his cultivation, wrote an edict.

......

On the ice field, an old man reappeared.

A snow wolf hiding in the snow that has not yet been domesticated is a little strange, this person it has only seen two days ago, is leaving. But now, how did he come back?

Zeng Fuzi looked at the sky, let out a breath of cold air, rose from the ground, and headed towards the temple.

There were still about a hundred miles from the temple, and for their cultivators, these hundred miles were just a matter of a few breaths.

But Zeng Fuzi stopped, he looked at the barren ice field, and suddenly shouted: "Come out!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a man appear.

Seeing this man, Zeng Fuzi's eyes froze and he looked behind the man.

Hong Ziyan, who was dressed in red, walked out, and the man was naturally Kai Anyang.

"What do you two do?"

Zeng Fuzi's whole body cultivation has been secretly mobilized, ready to strike at any time.

"I wonder how that kid is?"

Hong Ziyan also said with guilt, she didn't expect this result. What's more, some fierce beasts won't buy their Ten Thousand Demon Pavilion's accounts.

Zeng Fuzi looked at this woman, and when he heard this, he who is usually not angry, suddenly became angry, his body was like a ghost, and a ray of light flashed, and when Hong Ziyan and Kai Anyang reacted, Zeng Fuzi's hand was already on Hong Ziyan's neck.

Kai Anyang was suddenly in a hurry, and was about to make a move, but saw Hong Ziyan give him a look.

"You also said that you woman deliberately wanted him to die!"

Zeng Fuzi looked a little hideous, at this moment, he blamed all the faults on the woman in front of him who had been interested in Xu Ningqing.

Hong Ziyan was not in a hurry, and she did not resist.

She stared at her great-master with a pair of eyes.

"Do you really think that I caused Xu Chang'an to be like this? When he was walking the rivers and lakes, the gluttonous Tao Youting met him, and Tao Youting's uncle was one of the eight evils, if I really wanted to harm Xu Chang'an, he wouldn't have died early!"

Zeng Fuzi's hand suddenly loosened a little, and he wanted to put it down, but suddenly pinched Hong Ziyan's neck tightly.

"Then who harmed him, it's you, if you don't leave him behind, will he let that Xiangliu take him away?"

Hong Ziyan coughed twice because she was pinched too tightly by Zeng's master, and she stretched out her hand hard and broke Zeng's fingers so that she could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master Zeng, if you don't get your approval, with your half-step star shaking realm, who can catch Xu Chang'an?

"I was never the one who wanted him to die, it was you! Do you remember that thread? How many chances did you have at that time?"

When Master Zeng heard this, he let go of his hand.

These words were even more terrifying to him than the catastrophe that day, and every blow hit Zeng Fuzi's heart.

"I'm not a devil, and I'm not a devil. Yes, Xu Changan was thrown out by me, and he was snatched from my hands to suck blood, but it is you who really want to harm people!"

Zeng's face was like ashes, and he turned around.

He squatted on the ground with his waist bent, his hands covering his face, like a child.

He remembered Qi Fengjia's eyes when he left, and he remembered the "world should be peaceful" that he had proposed before.

If you don't have your own indecision, if you don't have your own hesitation, if you don't have to think about waiting for everyone to come and then reason, is everything different, can you avoid a lot of sacrifices?

For the first time, Zeng Fuzi wavered in his own doctrines and ideas.

Facts speak louder than words, and it is true that two people who did not want to harm others have created the worst results.

He was confused, could it be that the human race and the demon race were in harmony, and the way to seek eternal peace was wrong?

Hong Ziyan looked at her husband, and Kai Anyang hurriedly walked to her side and held her hand.

The temple was ahead, and a light appeared above Pantar Mountain.

Hong Ziyan looked at Pantar Mountain, and suddenly said: "It turns out that Changsheng is hidden here, and he only needs to sacrifice one person to seal the power of Changsheng and let it nourish Xu Changan like a trickle, then he will be fine." Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he left with Kai Anyang.

Zeng Fuzi suddenly raised his head, looked at Pantar Mountain, gritted his teeth, turned into a long rainbow, and landed directly in front of the temple.

The high priest seemed to be waiting for someone, and when Zeng Fuzi came in, the first thing he said when he looked at the high priest was: "I'll seal the Nine Dragon Talisman!"

This time the high priest did not refrain from refusing, but only said a word.

"Good!"

......

The Great Prince has returned, and the Iron Float is undamaged, but some armor needs to be rebuilt, and some warriors need to recuperate.

At the same time, Zhao Qingzhi also came to Chang'an.

He didn't have to go back to Chang'an, because this dragon guard had been inquiring for news all along, and he was hiding nearby. Now the Holy Emperor obviously doesn't need the protection of the Dragon Guard, he just needs the various branches to do what they need to do.

But he still came, and was called by the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Emperor didn't say anything more to him this time, but just let Zhao Qingzhi and the Tenth Prince Xuanyuan Rende stay for a few days.

I didn't tell anything, just let the two stay for a few days.

At the same time, he also transferred all the major generals at the border pass back, and accompanied the generals back, as well as military talismans.

In terms of civil officials, the Holy Emperor promoted Xun Fa and Chu Shilian, and at the same time let the little prince be in charge of this year's Spring Festival, with Xun Fa and Chu Shilian assisting from the side.

All this seems so extraordinary.

The generals were transferred back to Chang'an, with them with them, and the Wenchens, except for the six ministries and a few old ministers, were all suppressed to varying degrees.

What's even more urgent is that this year's spring festival has been advanced by a month. Let the little prince who has not yet reached the weak crown preside, this is a little intriguing.

But all the civil officials who came in the imperial examination were the protégés of the presiding officer that year, so wouldn't this year's scholars all become the protégés of the little prince and have the friendship of master and apprentice.

If the old emperor is seriously ill and the new emperor is ready to board the plane, there will be no problem with all this.

But now Your Majesty, who has reached the level of the Great Grandmaster, does not feel any discomfort in his body, so no one wants to think in that direction.

Although the two clans of the shemales fought each other, this did not affect Chunyu.

Even this spring festival was a month ahead of schedule.

The Holy Emperor re-engaged the King of Jin in the government affairs, received the post of Situ, and gave his son Xuanyuan Chi a great general, replacing the previous general Zhendong in Youzhou, and the previous general who guarded Youzhou was transferred to Tongzhou, replacing the old general Xu Zhenwu, who had passed away.

After the spring festival was over, the Holy Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that everything had been arranged, and after a busy month, he finally felt relaxed.

A smile appeared on his face, and he dismissed the little eunuch beside him and went up to the nine-story tower alone.

"Wife, I'm here, I've been too busy this month, so I didn't come to see you!"

The Holy Emperor looked at the blue coffin and smiled.

The woman inside was still lying quietly, so quiet.

"Wife, let me tell you, I saw a person, guess who?"

The Holy Emperor lay on the blue coffin, as if he was talking to people.

"That's right, it's Xu Ningqing. He's also old.,It's not as chic as before.,The whole person is like a private school gentleman.。 He was still as resourceful as ever, and seemed to know everything. ”

The Holy Emperor looked at the woman in the coffin and continued, "Wife, I'm sorry!"

"I still haven't found Hui An, it's all my fault, if I hadn't looked down on that poor boy Liu Chenglang, everything wouldn't have been like this; When I became a father, I realized that I couldn't control everything. ”

As he spoke, tears flowed down his eyes, and snot flowed out.

He wiped his nose with his dragon robe without care, and continued: "But don't worry, I have already explained to reliable people, so that they must continue to look for Hui'an. By the way, wife, I didn't leave this throne to our son, I made him a general, I hope you don't get angry. Chi'er, he is suitable to be a great general, and he is suitable to fight in all directions. I had a child, and I remember, his mother's eyes were like yours, like a clear spring. I asked my brother-in-law to assist him, and I also found a few good people for him, and the child was pure in nature. By the way, he also drew a family portrait, our family is here, you are here, and his biological mother is also there. ”

The Holy Emperor laughed as he spoke, and he cried when he laughed.

"Wife, after so many years, my belief in surviving is Hui'an and you. ”

"That stinky boy from Xu Ningqing's family is really good, but unfortunately he was seriously injured, if Hui'an is still there and hasn't liked Liu Chenglang yet, I will definitely match the two of them. ”

"Although our eldest son suffered at the hands of the Xu family, now his heart has changed greatly. ”

"Also, wife, this winter has passed, and the peach blossoms outside the city are about to bloom, so let's go and enjoy the flowers together, with Hui'an and Chi'er. Hui'an flew a kite, Chi'er followed behind her, and the two of us sat not far away and watched......"

"Chi'er has someone she likes, and they will have a bunch of children in the future, you will be a grandmother, and I will be a grandfather. ”

The more the Holy Emperor spoke, the quieter his voice became, as if he was whispering.

He seemed to be asleep and dreaming.

In the dream, a girl holds a boy's hand, and they stand on the top of the mountain together, looking down the mountain, and the peach blossoms are in full view.

"Chutian?" the girl shouted.

"Huh?" the shy boy looked at the girl.

The girl stood on the top of the mountain and shouted loudly at the rising sun: "Chu Tiankuo, there is a lot to be done in the world!"

The boy scratched his head embarrassedly, and the girl slapped the boy's hand scratching his head, and said to him: "Xuanyuan Chutian, the person who marries me must have great ambitions, if he is a man who stands up to the sky." ”

I don't know how long it took, but the Holy Emperor woke up, and he looked at his body lying on the coffin.

And the Holy Emperor, who was suspended above the coffin, turned into a fist-sized baby, which was his spirit.

Suddenly, the spirit turned into a curtain of light, and finally sprinkled on the woman in the coffin, merging with the woman.

"Wife, I can't save you, Jiulong Fu must save Xu Changan, but I can accompany you. ”

On this night, the tallest nine-story tower in Chang'an City suddenly caught fire, and when it was dawn, every household in Chang'an was vegetarian, and the dynasty was replaced by a young emperor.

Later generations have historical records: Xuanyuan ancestor Chutian, Shengde Mingwu loyal to the Emperor, loyal to love, trapped in love, ** in Chang'an.

In addition to the merits of those emperors, what retreats from the enemy, the four seas inside, the people do not leave the road behind, and do not close their doors at night, this sentence makes future generations sigh the most.

But later history books thought that a generation of male lords and the word loyalty were a bit bad, so they canceled the two words that the emperor cared about the most during his lifetime.

"Emperor Shengde Mingwu, loyal to love, trapped in love, ** in Chang'an. ”

(End of volume)

Note: Shengde Mingwu is a nickname, so the front has always been the Holy Emperor.

Guess who he gave the Chang'an Great Array, there is a small foreshadowing in the previous article.
