Chapter 270: The Other Side Is Not a Fairyland
After Meng Qiuchi built the sea viewing tower in the East China Sea, it didn't take long for him to discover that there was a cave hidden in the reef of the East China Sea, and there was such an old man in the cave.
He didn't know the identity of this old man, but he knew that he was good at chess, looking at this portrait in the stone cave, he thought that this was the painting of Emperor Ning Qi, then this old man was the minister of Emperor Ning Qi's era, he couldn't believe it at that time, after all, it was a thousand years ago.
In other words, if this old man was an old minister in the era of Emperor Ning Qi, he should have lived for thousands of years.
Doesn't this mean that the old man's realm is high and terrifying?
However, at that time, it was just Meng Qiuchi's own thoughts, and after asking a few times, the old man did not answer clearly, although he still had some doubts, but he didn't care, at this time, Emperor Ning Qi came in person, and then compared with the portrait, if Meng Qiuchi was still there, he should know that the portrait was not Emperor Ning Qi.
That person was not a certain emperor of the Daning Dynasty.
The person in the portrait is a certain king in the history of Southern Chu.
Yes, although the Southern Chu royal family and the Daning royal family shed the same blood, but if you talk about it carefully, it is a little different.
Emperor Ning Qi asked, "Where did he go?"
The old man knelt on the ground, old tears, seeing Emperor Ning Qi, he had fallen into deep memories, he had never seen Emperor Ning Qi, but he was a painter in the court of Southern Chu back then, and he had seen all the portraits of emperors in the history of Southern Chu at that time, and also saw all the portraits of emperors in the history of the Daning Dynasty before Southern Chu.
As the founder of the country, Emperor Ning Qi naturally watched it more than once.
And as the unique Danqing Holy Hand of that era, he can be said to be the best painter in the world, and he naturally has the ability to never forget.
The old man knelt on the ground and did not answer the question, but muttered, "What Your Majesty said is indeed true...... It's really......"
Emperor Ning Qi was not in a hurry, he just looked at the portrait, thinking about his descendants, just from the portrait, a certain king in the history of the Southern Chu Kingdom was no worse than Emperor Ning Qi.
Red hair was also looking at the portrait, and after looking at it for a long time, even he, even if he had followed Emperor Ning Qi for so long, would not deny that the person in front of him would be worse than any emperor.
This is also due to the fact that the old man painted this portrait vividly and vividly.
The momentum was all preserved.
Emperor Ning Qi walked over and wanted to reach out and touch it, but after a while, he withdrew his hand, he looked at the old man again and asked, "Where did he go?"
This was one of the purposes for which he came to the East China Sea, to know where that person had gone.
The old man lowered his head, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Your Majesty has gone where you should go, doesn't Your Majesty know?"
The two Majesties in this sentence, the first is of course the one who has disappeared, and the second is the one in front of him.
Emperor Ning Qi said calmly: "Since you have crossed the Golden Gate, and you don't want to be on this shore, you naturally went to the other side. ”
The old man was silent.
Emperor Ning Qi said again: "The emperors of Southern Chu have taken the revival of Daning as their own responsibility, and he is the only one who has the ability to do so, so he left, if he is known by those monarchs who have turned into dry bones, won't he scold his descendants?"
The old man raised his head and stared at Emperor Ning Qi like a torch, and said, "Your Majesty's words are unreasonable!"
Emperor Ning Qi was not angry, but said calmly: "Is there any truth to what I said, and you are also worthy of commenting?"
There was some anger in the old man's eyes, he didn't have any cowardice towards the founding monarch of the Daning Dynasty in front of him, he called the other party Your Majesty, just because of respect, not because of anything else.
In his heart, there is only one Majesty, and that is the Majesty who has been with him for many years.
"Since he doesn't want to say, then forget it, if he is willing to seek death, then go, I can't pull it, and I won't pull it, but the thing he left behind is mine, and I come to get it back, you just need to tell me where that thing is, and that's it. ”
A trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, how could that thing be known by Emperor Ning Qi?
He didn't understand, but he didn't intend to tell this Daning Emperor.
Emperor Ning Qi looked at him calmly.
There was no emotion in his eyes, only thousands of stars in his eyes, and countless silences and vitality alternated in his eyes in a moment.
It looks like the origin of life, and it looks like the scene of the end of the world, in short, it is extremely terrifying, and it is also extremely curious.
For a moment, the old man lost his mind for a moment, and his mind entered those eyes, wanting to take a good look at the scene.
He was the best painter hundreds of years ago, and he had seen all the beauty of the world, but he had never seen this.
His heart shook, and suddenly he remembered what happened many years ago, when he was a very young painter, and he was a little famous in the city of Yingdu, and he often painted some portraits for people, and many women liked it.
Until one day, he was selling paintings on the street, and he met His Majesty, who immediately fell in love with his painting and said that he would help him paint one.
At that time, he painted for three days, painted a picture, and the other party was very satisfied.
It was the first time in his life that he painted a portrait of His Majesty, and it was the beginning of everything.
At that time, His Majesty stood in front of him and said with a smile: "The painting is good, I just happened to have a guy who painted my portrait, and it was you." ”
At that time, he realized that the person in front of him was not someone else, but His Majesty, the emperor of the Southern Chu State at that time.
Entering the palace with apprehension, he stayed for decades.
During this period, he painted portraits of the ladies in the palace, and also painted portraits of the palace, and even more portraits of the emperors of Southern Chu, but the one who painted the most was His Majesty.
At that time, His Majesty smiled and said, after I am gone, the only thing I can see in this world is the portrait, so the portrait should be more realistic, otherwise no one will think that I am really good.
At that time, he only felt that His Majesty was saying that everyone would have a hundred years later, and he would not be concerned, but he did not expect that what His Majesty said about leaving the world was not leaving the world, but simply leaving.
In the days that followed, the old man had been not only painting for His Majesty, but also playing chess with His Majesty, who was very good at chess, but he was a stinky chess basket.
However, after playing for decades, his chess strength has also increased greatly, and he can be regarded as a national player.
In those days, he was very happy, because His Majesty did not regard himself as an emperor, nor did he regard him as a courtier, they were like friends.
Later, His Majesty even taught him to practice and took him on the path of cultivation.
He went from being a painter to a practitioner.
But he still thinks of himself as a painter.
A bit of a great artist.
After a long time, His Majesty suddenly summoned him in the Imperial Garden.
Sitting in the imperial garden, His Majesty, who was dressed in a white imperial robe, looked at him, first gossiped a lot, and then said indifferently: "I am ready to leave." ”
The old man said at the time, "Your Majesty, you are in good health, and you still have a lot of time. ”
He said, "It's not about leaving the world, it's just about leaving this place." ”
The old man was startled, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, after you leave, who does Nan Chu rely on?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and said, "I have many sons, can't they govern this country?"
It is true that there were many good princes in Southern Chu at that time, and it would definitely not be easy to let them open up the territory, but it was indeed not difficult to say that they were just a monarch and kept the ancestral inheritance.
But the old man was very sad, because he knew how great His Majesty was in front of him, and knew how good he was, as long as he wanted, the territory of Nanchu could be expanded a lot, and even after that, it was possible to slowly think about dominating the world.
It was an emperor of great talent, at least in his heart, unique.
"Where is Your Majesty going? Is it to Qing Xiu, not to ask about these things?"
The old man said at the time: "The minister wants to go with His Majesty, if His Majesty does not dislike it." ”
His Majesty shook his head and said, "The place I want to go to is not something you can follow, it's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that you can't go." ”
The old man was silent at that time, he knew that it was not a lie, and His Majesty had no reason to lie to deceive him.
It's not necessary.
The old man raised his head and asked, "Then Your Majesty is just explaining this?"
His Majesty shook his head and said, "I have called you here, of course, there are more important things to entrust to you." ”
The old man said, "Please show it to Your Majesty." ”
"What I want to tell you is the biggest secret of the entire Southern Chu, and you must not divulge it to outsiders in this life, whether it is my descendants or my ancestors. ”
His Majesty said slowly: "A thousand years ago, the Daning Dynasty fought among the countries and finally ruled the world, but then for various reasons, it fell apart, and finally hundreds of years ago, it was completely gone, but some of the royal families escaped from the original Zhaotian City, and finally ran to this place and established Southern Chu. ”
The old man was surprised: "It turns out that Your Majesty is a descendant of the Daning Imperial Family!"
"Yes, I have the same blood on my body as that Emperor Ning Qi. ”
When the old man heard Emperor Ning Qi's three words, he was silent again.
This thousand-year-old powerhouse, no matter who mentions it, must show respect.
"That imperial tomb is his tomb, but I think that one day he will come out of that imperial tomb again. ”
When the old man heard this, he was even more surprised.
His eyes widened, and he was too surprised.
Emperor Ning Qi, the strongest man in the millennium, has been dead for a thousand years, but now he has been told that the emperor may not be dead, and will appear in this world one day.
His Majesty continued: "There are some things that you cannot know, since he is standing on top of the golden gate, how can he be willing to die like this, so he will come back, and when the time comes, he may come to me, to be precise, to find such a thing that I gave you, and what you have to do is to take that thing somewhere and hide it, and don't let him find it." ”
The old man asked, "What is it?"
His Majesty turned his head and said calmly, "Speaking of which, that thing is still his, but I don't want to give it to him, but I can't take it away, so I can only give it to you." ”
The old man wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, and suddenly closed it again.
His Majesty on the other side spoke, but before he could speak, he suddenly dissipated.
The old man's mind suddenly dispersed, and he returned to this cave where was the imperial garden in front of him.
"Poof!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood inexplicably!
His eyes were dark, his body swayed, and his face became unusually pale.
There was no His Majesty in front of him, only Emperor Ning Qi dressed in white.
The stars in Emperor Ning Qi's eyes dissipated, and there was nothing special about it.
He looked at the old man and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to escape." ”
It turned out that all the previous memories were deliberately created by Emperor Ning Qi, in order to find the thing he wanted to find in the old man's mind.
The old man looked at Emperor Ning Qi in front of him with a pale face, although he didn't have any expression, but his heart was already turbulent, he didn't expect that he had already set foot in Jinque many years ago, and now although he can't be said to be the most powerful cultivator in this world, there are not many people who want to defeat him, as for the person who just looks at him a few times like this, and then thinks about finding something in his mind, it is impossible to have it.
But Emperor Ning Qi in front of him just looked at him a few times, and he had already seen everything about him through.
Almost saw through the depths of his mind.
If he hadn't withdrawn in time, he would have completely told Emperor Ning Qi in front of him the whereabouts of the things at this moment.
Emperor Ning Qi said: "Actually, it's enough. ”
Although he was not able to see all of this, the previous ones were really enough for Emperor Ning Qi.
He looked at the old man in front of him and said calmly, "The thing is hidden here, I know." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Not here." ”
Emperor Ning Qi ignored him, just looked at the portrait in the stone cave and looked at it calmly.
Suddenly, he walked towards the portrait.
The old man suddenly screamed, and his qi surged, and he was about to make a move.
Emperor Ning Qi did not react.
The red-haired figure behind him moved, and he came to the old man in an instant, stretched out a hand, and the majestic qi machine started in the palm of his hand, and the two of them palmed each other, and the majestic qi machine exploded here in an instant.
The old man took a few steps back, unsteady on his feet, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.
The red hair stood in place, silent.
The old man had been badly injured before, and this was the time to be weak, let alone a red-haired opponent.
Emperor Ning Qi reached out and touched the portrait as if no one was around.
At the moment when the palm of the hand touched the portrait, countless majestic qi suddenly poured out from it!
Emperor Ning Qi's face changed slightly, and his whole body was stunned, and majestic qi surged towards him.
The clothes were flying, and the black hair was moving with the qi.
It was like countless sharp swords, attacking Emperor Ning Qi, this kind of might, in exchange for any Golden Que Realm, would be seriously injured, or even killed.
This is the end, and it is by no means an exaggeration.
Emperor Ning Qi took a deep breath, and the qi in his body also gushed out in an instant.
Fight against this.
Of course, this portrait is the one who left behind, and it is enough to kill most of the people in this world.
But he ran into Emperor Ning Qi.
Then there is nothing to say.
It didn't work as well as it should.
One after another, Emperor Ning Qi stood in the glow and forcibly carried all this.
A quarter of an hour later, the glow dissipated, Emperor Ning Qi looked at the dim portrait in front of him, and said indifferently: "I don't understand, people like you, people are gone, who can be scared by leaving such things? ”
The old man's face was like ashes.
He had fully understood at this moment that he would never be the opponent of the man in front of him.
The gap between them is too big.
Emperor Ning Qi's palm at this moment finally fell on this portrait.
He calmly stretched out his hand.
Tiny qi bursts out from the palm of his hand, and then falls on the stone wall one by one, and after a while, the portrait on the stone wall begins to fall off.
One by one, rolling down to the ground.
Then the contents were revealed.
Inside, there are twelve little golden figures.
Lifelike.
Red hair looked at the twelve little golden men and lost his mind for a moment.
He had seen these twelve golden men before, but when he saw them before, these twelve golden men were much bigger than they are now.
Much bigger.
According to the annals, "the emperor is unified, the edict collects the soldiers of the world, gathers it according to the sky, and sells it as the twelve bells and gold people, weighing thousands of stones, and placing them in the palace to control the world." ”
At the beginning, Emperor Ning Qi ruled the world and destroyed the kingdoms, gathered the weapons of the countries, smelted them by the best craftsmen in Daning, and cast them into twelve golden figures, which stood in the court.
Originally, the red hair thought that the role of these twelve golden people should be to deter the world, and there was no other use, but now it seems that this is not the case.
But why didn't such an important thing be brought into the imperial tomb after death?
He didn't know that these twelve golden figures, in the early days, were not just a deterrent function, many years ago when they were cast, Emperor Ning Qi spent time here, as for why they were not brought into the emperor's mausoleum later, it was also because of other purposes.
But after his death, the later Daning Emperor did not like these things, so he transported them to the mountains and sent some people to guard them, and then the time passed, and this matter was gradually forgotten.
It wasn't until many years later that the emperor of Nanchu found it, refined it with a secret method, and brought it back to Nanchu, he obviously knew that this thing was very important, so after that, he always carried it with him, and when he was about to leave here, this thing really couldn't be taken away, so he let the old man hide here.
I didn't tell anyone about this, but I don't know why Emperor Ning Qi still found it.
Emperor Ning Qi looked at these twelve golden people, his expression remained unchanged, he stretched out his hand to take it, and accepted it.
He glanced at the old man instead, and had no intention of killing him.
He turned around and walked out of the hole, and the red hair followed.
The old man sat on the ground dejectedly, his face was full of guilt, there was only one thing that His Majesty entrusted him, but it was such a thing, he didn't do it well, he was too guilty.
......
......
Leaving here and returning to the beach, the red hair still followed behind Emperor Ning Qi.
After walking a distance, Emperor Ning Qi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood spilled into the sea, making it strangely black.
"Your Majesty!" Red Hair shouted worriedly.
Emperor Ning Qi brushed his sleeves and wiped the corners of his mouth, and his face became pale.
He looked at the sea and laughed at himself: "I was actually injured by my own descendants, I'm afraid it's really a laughing stock to say." ”
The red hair didn't know what to say, just silent.
"If you want to comfort me, you can say that they are my descendants, better than me, and that is not worth being sad about. ”
The red hair shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is just a dragon, not inferior to others." ”
Emperor Ning Qi said indifferently: "That's right, if I was a thousand years ago, his residual qi was broken with a wave of his hand, but if I really said it, I want to fight with him, even if I want to defeat him, it will not be so easy, but he is stupid, he may have already turned into a pile of white bones at this moment, and he has no chance to fight with me." ”
Following Emperor Ning Qi's side, the red hair that had been pondering something for a long time, he asked, "Your Majesty, where did he go?"
Emperor Ning Qi said bluntly: "Except for this shore, it is the other shore, what other place can it be?"
The red hair is still puzzled, if this is the shore, then where is the other shore, and how to get there?
Emperor Ning Qi said calmly: "In your words, only Tianjiao can leave this shore and go to the other shore, but what if you go to the other shore, isn't it just asking for death?"
"The other side is so dangerous?"
Emperor Ning Qi looked at the sea and said meaningfully: "The other side is not a fairyland, but a hell, and the qualifications to enter this hell have such a high threshold. ”
——
After leaving Yueming Mountain, Liang Shiyi's itinerary with the women's sword fairy was also so casual, riding a white deer, the women's sword fairy was very leisurely, although Liang Shiyi didn't marry a daughter-in-law, and he also got a white deer, but he was not angry, but he was happy.
Rubbing his stomach and following behind the female sword fairy, the current leader of the sword path, took the wild fruit that he didn't know where to find it, and mouthed one by one.
The female sword fairy was in front, and asked without looking back: "All these years of wandering in this world, is there a place to go?"
Liang Shizhi replied casually: "There are too many places to go, especially for people like you who have not left the West Sea for more than a hundred years, if you are willing, it is good to spend a year and a half walking around." ”
The female sword fairy said, "Is it good for the way of the sword?"
"Of course, depending on what you think, if you think about this trip, the scenery is not beautiful, and this white deer is not comfortable to ride, especially me, it is not pleasing to the eye, then it is useless, if this is the case, you can kill me with a sword, kill and roast the white deer, and then go back to the West Sea, maybe it will be much better." ”
"If you think the scenery is good, Bailu is also good, and most importantly, you think I'm also good, this will definitely be beneficial to kendo. ”
The female sword fairy shook her head, "Then I'll go back to the West Sea." ”
Liang Shiyi hurriedly waved his hand, "This is not interesting." ”
The female sword immortal frowned and said, "Liang Shiyi, why are you accommodating me so much, it makes me feel that you are not very good at this person." ”
Liang Shiyi sighed: "I'm just fooling you, don't take it seriously." ”
The female sword fairy shook her head and said, "Then you make me even more disliked." ”
Liang Shiyu snorted, "You are a person, no wonder you haven't married for a hundred years, it's really weird." ”
Hearing this, the female sword immortal was silent.
Liang Shiyi casually threw away a fruit, then clapped his hands and said, "Don't be like this, it's the first time I've chased a woman, and I don't have much experience." ”
The female sword fairy replied: "It's also the first time I've been chased. ”
