Chapter 249: There are two people in this world
Liang Zhao left the Sword Court and came to Beiling, the capital of the Daying Dynasty, and there are definitely not many people in the whole world who know about it.
Even Lan Lin Zhenren only knew that Liang Zhao was leaving, but he didn't know that he didn't come here to see the sword competition in the West Sea.
As for the purpose of his visit, no one even knows.
But at a time when all sword cultivators were paying attention to the huge sword competition in the West Sea, Liang Zhao's appearance here was indeed a little strange.
Liang Zhao has a plan, but what exactly is planned, I'm afraid few people can say clearly.
Walking into this Xiongcheng, which was completely different from the layout of the Xian Mall of the Great Qi Dynasty, Liang Zhao looked up at the sky, it was not a dark cloud, but it was definitely not a good day.
Just make do.
Walk along a long street, walk dozens of steps, there is a restaurant, the orientation is slightly bad, so it looks a little deserted.
Walking into the restaurant, Liang Zhao went upstairs as agreed, and took a look at the window on the second floor.
It was early in the morning, and the location of the restaurant was not so good, so there was actually only one table of guests on the entire second floor.
It was a man in white, and behind him stood two servants with ordinary faces and somewhat tall figures.
The man in white had a light expression and looked a bit like a scholar.
Liang Zhao frowned, as if he was a little surprised.
According to the agreement, the person who came to contact him at this time should definitely not be a man in white.
It should be a young man his age.
Standing in place for a moment, Liang Zhao turned around and was about to leave, he was an absolutely cautious person and would never take risks easily, but the man in white spoke, "It's all here, why rush to leave?"
The voice is clean, and people can't help but feel a sense of trust.
Liang Zhao was stunned, although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know why, he still walked towards the man, came to the table, he hesitated for a moment, and still sat opposite the other party.
The man in white looked gentle, and Liang Zhao noticed that there were two cups of tea on the table.
The man in white smiled: "Although everyone is more willing to drink now, since we want to talk about things, it is better to drink tea." ”
Liang Zhao frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The man in white didn't answer his words, but just said to himself: "This tea is good, your cup is worth several years of penance." ”
Liang Zhao didn't care about it originally, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at the cup of tea in front of him that didn't seem to be anything special.
The man in white continued: "That guy Lu Yu, he has put his mind on tea all his life, he doesn't practice hard, he doesn't care about everything, he is only interested in tea all his life, he has spent more than three hundred years cultivating several tea trees into one, planting them in his own residence, it can be said that that one tea tree is the first in ancient times, the effect is extraordinary, the tea leaves are only two a year, how many people in the world want to drink, but who can drink it?"
Liang Zhao was silent, just thinking about the name of the tea saint Lu Yu, that tea saint is an extremely famous figure in the cultivation world, born thousands of years ago, he has been crazy about tea all his life, and it took more than three hundred years to cultivate a tea tree, which is a rare treasure in the world. It was something that all cultivators wanted at that time, but although the tea saint was a lonely person, his realm was extremely high, and it was not something that ordinary people could provoke, and half of the few taels of tea produced by that tea tree every year were sent by him to Zhaotian City, the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
With His Majesty the Emperor standing behind him, no matter how lonely Lu Yu was, no one dared to snatch it.
It's a pity that Emperor Ning Qi died later, and Lu Yu disappeared, even with the tea tree.
In other words, this tea was lost thousands of years ago, and if there is any other place in the world where this tea is found, it is probably in the emperor's tomb.
After all, Lu Yu sent tea into the palace every year, and His Majesty the Emperor never rewarded this tea and kept it for himself.
Now that it has appeared again in the world, it is actually understandable, but even so, there were so many strong cultivators in the emperor's tomb that day, and if they wanted to get this thing, they should be amazing.
If this tea is really picked from Lu Yu's tea tree, then the identity of the man in front of him is not simple.
Seeing that Liang Zhao was still hesitating, the man in white took a sip of the tea in front of him, and when he spoke again, his mouth was full of fragrance.
"This tea is almost the same as when it's hot, and it doesn't make a difference if you put it for five hundred years and then drink it, if you have scruples, you can put it, anyway, this cup of tea is yours, and it doesn't matter when you drink it. ”
After saying so much, the man in white still didn't answer Liang Zhao's previous question.
Liang Zhao is also still hesitating.
"You are a young person, but you are scheming and deep, if you calculate your peers, of course it is simple, but not to mention calculating the world, even calculating your master, are you sure he doesn't know anything?"
The man in white sighed with emotion: "But it's a good thing to be willing to calculate, and it's okay to start calculating from this moment, after all, the time of cultivators is very long, and if you calculate, those old guys will one day become your Tao, in other words, starting to calculate now is also growth." ”
Liang Zhao looked into the eyes of the man in white and asked, "Who are you?"
The man in white still didn't speak, and continued: "I met your father on the grassland before he finally came to you, and there are indeed many similarities between you. ”
Liang Zhao was puzzled in his heart, it had reached the extreme, he was the prince of Emperor Daqi, I am afraid that it was a secret that no one knew except for his master Lan Linzhen.
How would this person in front of him know?
The man in white didn't reveal his identity, but said slowly: "You come here, you want to see the royal family, there is no need, you can see it, you can't control the overall situation, it's better to listen to me, my family background is thicker than theirs." ”
It turned out that Liang Zhao came to Daying from the Sword Court to meet the Daying royal family and discuss a major matter.
It's just that this big thing seems to be not only known by the man in white in front of him, but also the other party is extremely unoptimistic, Liang Zhao didn't speak, since the other party can appear here, it is not an incomprehensible thing for him to know, but even so, for such a person of unknown origin, he will not speak easily.
The man in white continued: "That one is dead, and now you want to sit in that seat, it's difficult, first of all, how to prove that you are the prince, and secondly, how to get those royal families to accept you, and then how to let those guys who originally wanted to sit on the throne make way for you, which of these three points can you do?"
These three points are the fundamental obstacles for Liang Zhao to sit on the throne of Daqi.
Even with the Sword Court standing behind him, it was difficult. That's why he came to Daying, wanting to find help from the outside world.
The man in white stopped talking, of course he was willing to chat, but it didn't make much sense to just say it by himself.
Liang Zhao is still silent, in fact, it's not that he doesn't want to say something, it's just that at this juncture, he doesn't dare to say many things easily, because there are many things, he still has to think and weigh more, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know who the person opposite is, what can he give him, whether it is worth believing.
"I have no reason to trust you unless you tell you who you really are. A long time later, Liang Zhao said this.
The man in white sighed: "It seems that you are still very rational, not a gambler who is willing to ignore it and just gamble." ”
"Who am I? I won't mention my name, but in the past days, you were all called Emperor Ning Qi. ”
This is definitely an earth-shattering statement!
Liang Zhao frowned, looking at the man in front of him, he couldn't believe it was true.
Emperor Ning Qi smiled and said, "According to you, I must have to ask, what do you use to prove yourself." ”
Emperor Ning Qi said indifferently: "How else do I need to prove that I am me?"
As these words were spoken, an incomparable momentum was born from him, originally Liang looked at him, feeling that he was like a scholar, a little gentle, but at this time, suddenly, he felt that the other party was like an emperor, who had been in a high place all his life, and had never bowed his head to others.
That kind of domineering and self-confidence seems to be something engraved in the bones, and no one can imitate it.
Cold sweat broke out on Liang Zhao's forehead, under this aura, not to mention him, even the cultivation powerhouses of the Golden Gate Realm should be afraid.
It can be said that in today's cultivation world, there is no one who can not be affected in the slightest in front of Emperor Ning Qi, who is doing his best.
After all, he may be the only cultivator powerhouse above the Golden Gate in this world today.
Liang Zhao lost his mind and said with some incomprehension: "You are still alive......"
Emperor Ning Qi looked at him, spread his momentum, took a sip of the teacup, and then said indifferently: "There are many people in this world who want me to die, but why do I want to die?"
"You're still alive, don't you want to take back your world, why do you want to help others?"
Liang Zhao is worthy of being Liang Zhao, after a short period of distraction, he quickly sorted out his thoughts, if he was someone else, I don't know how long he would lose his mind.
Emperor Ning Qi smiled and said: "When your realm is high enough, the world will naturally lose any attraction to you, and the ultimate goal of a cultivator is to live forever, to pursue a higher realm, to be an emperor, and you are not so comfortable." ”
"Besides, I've already done it, I'm tired of it, and I don't want to repeat it. ”
Emperor Ning Qi is extremely indifferent, like an old man who looks down on the world, but judging from his story, it is definitely possible, after all, he was the emperor who ruled the world thousands of years ago, and now, maybe he really doesn't want to repeat his previous life.
And he has already crossed the Golden Gate Realm, of course, there is a broader world.
Liang Zhao frowned and said, "Even if you don't have a mind, why do you want to help me? Even if you have to help someone, why isn't that person Gu Ming?"
Gu Meng has the blood of the Daning royal family, no matter who it is, there is no way to deny this, as a descendant of Emperor Ning Qi, it is most reasonable for Emperor Ning Qi to help him.
Emperor Ning Qi said: "The Daning Dynasty is in the past, and that kid doesn't necessarily like this kind of life, why force him, as for why I help you, the reason is very simple, your father gave me something I need, so I came to help you ascend the throne, which is a return gift." ”
Liang Zhao didn't speak, and fell into thinking again.
When Emperor Daqi finally came to see him, there were many things that were vague and not clearly informed, even if Liang Zhao wanted to know something, he didn't know anything.
"You are powerful, but what can you do to help me, and what do I need to give?"
Liang Zhao knows deeply that there is no free pie in the world, what you want to get, you will definitely pay something, and if someone wants to help you, you must be thinking about making a profit on you.
Emperor Daqi said: "Naturally, there is, but if you don't mention it at this moment, you won't be able to take it out, and when you can take it out in the future, I will naturally come to ask for it, as for whether you give it or not, it doesn't matter, it's just that you think you can beat me when the time comes, and I don't mind erasing you again." ”
"Don't worry, I don't want your life or the world, I'm just playing a game of chess with people, you're just my pawn, whether you can jump out of the chessboard depends on how far you can go. ”
In fact, Emperor Daqi confessed so frankly, for Liang Zhao, it was reassuring, what he was most afraid of was that he didn't say anything, and he looked like a good man, which made him frightened.
But even so, Liang Zhao will not give an answer immediately, after all, he has never been the kind of person who panics.
Emperor Ning Qi is not the kind of person who is eager to know the answer, and besides, he knows that there are some things that he can't be in a hurry.
"Think about it, I'm not in a hurry. If you figure it out, you'll be here in three days' time, waiting for you. ”
After saying this, Emperor Ning Qi got up, didn't speak again, and walked towards the stairs without looking back, while Liang Zhao just looked at it and didn't speak.
......
......
Walking out of the restaurant and coming to the street, Emperor Ning Qi walked slowly along the long street, without any special emotions, Chifa and Zhu Yan followed, neither of them understood what Emperor Ning Qi was doing today, but I don't know why, neither of them immediately asked.
It wasn't until he walked far away and came from the east of the city to the west branch of the city that the red hair asked: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister doesn't understand that if Your Majesty must find someone to be the emperor of Daqi, why do you want to find him instead of Gu Ming." ”
Emperor Ning Qi heard it, but he didn't answer immediately, but after taking a few steps, he said, "Do you think that as a chess piece, who is better than Liang Zhao and Gu Ming?"
Zhu Yan has never understood these things, so when he heard this, he was only a little dazed, but he was red-haired, and quickly gave an answer, "Mentally, Liang Zhao's ambition is greater, and he is also more cautious, and even more determined, such a person, as a chess piece, has too many hidden dangers." ”
This sentence does not mention Gu Ming, in fact, he is actually not optimistic about Gu Ming.
Emperor Ning Qi smiled: "So you think it is more secure to choose Gu Ming." ”
Although I don't know what that bureau is, if it is red-haired, I will definitely choose Gu Ming.
"So why can Gu Luo always beat Liang Zhao?"
Emperor Ning Qi asked an extremely interesting question.
On the surface, Liang Zhao is the master of the Gengxin sword, with a calm temperament, ambition, and goals, and he is stronger than Gu Meng in every point, so why is he weaker than Gu Ming.
Red hair didn't know what to say all of a sudden, after leaving the Imperial Tomb, he had heard a lot of stories between them, and he actually didn't figure this out, because no matter how you look at it, or if it is any other person to write this story, the protagonist should be Liang Zhaocai, a Gengxin sword master, a kendo genius, the prince of the Nanling Daqi Dynasty, whether it is from the story or anything else, he is the perfect protagonist.
Emperor Ning Qi said with emotion: "He is more like an ordinary person struggling in the red dust, every time you look down on him, he can always get up from the mud, although ordinary, but extremely resolute, such a person is a chess piece, there are many variables, besides, he always has my blood, how can I bear it?"
The last sentence makes people feel that Emperor Ning Qi is a loving elder, but Zhu Yan and red hair, who have experienced those stories, have no feelings.
The emperor is ruthless, let alone Emperor Ning Qi.
So I could only be silent.
Emperor Ning Qi continued to walk forward, "This is not a thousand years ago, my will will cannot be sprinkled in every corner. ”
Zhu Yan and Red Hair pondered the meaning of these words, and when they came back to their senses, they looked up and found themselves in the imperial city of Daying.
A group of three people, in the moonlight, walked along the palace road, very casually.
Emperor Ning Qi is like a real emperor, walking in the palace that belongs to him.
But everyone knows that thousands of years ago, the Daning Dynasty had already fallen apart.
The red hair opened his mouth slightly, "Your Majesty ......"
He wanted to ask, what was Emperor Ning Qi here for? Could it be just to remember?
This doesn't seem to be in line with Emperor Ning Qi's style thousands of years ago, but it is very much like what Emperor Ning Qi can do today, but the previous few things are telling them that everything Emperor Ning Qi did can be traced back to the roots, not a decision made on a whim.
So this time I came to this place, not just to see Liang Zhao.
Time has passed, even though everything is changing, but Emperor Ning Qi is still the same Emperor Ning Qi, and it has not changed.
If he is calculating anything, he can only be calculating until death.
What a terrible thing is this?
Red hair sighed a little, but didn't speak.
The three of them walked through the palace walls and came to a long corridor.
Emperor Ning Qi said, "Let me go alone." ”
Red hair and Zhu Yan glanced at each other, nodded their heads, and then their bodies dissipated, although they were controlled by Emperor Ning Qi, they were still strong people in the Golden Gate realm, plus they were not ordinary cultivators, it was not difficult to disappear silently in the imperial city.
Emperor Ning Qi stood in place for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
This palace is very large and has a lot of people.
Emperor Ning Qi seemed to be strolling leisurely, passing through many buildings, and finally came to a lake.
Being able to dig a lake in the imperial city has always been very popular with emperors.
Even the original Daning Dynasty had such a lake.
There is a man on the shore of the lake.
The man was dressed in a trench robe and wore a crown of sunshine.
It's a woman.
Emperor Ning Qi stopped not far away and said with a smile: "Long time no see." ”
——
Ahsan was late.
In fact, the reason for being late was because she wanted to inquire about her little brother in Beiling, so she went around and was late.
Fortunately, after entering Beiling, she already knew the news that her little junior brother was still alive, which made her feel very good, so that after encountering several groups of cultivators who were not long-sighted, she did not kill her.
The shot did not cause death.
It's just that before she reached the West Sea, she stopped.
The reason is that she met another person here.
It was an old man, an old guy who liked to grill fish in the mountains the most, and somehow got here.
Looking at his master, Ahsan stopped, not knowing why his master was here.
The old man rubbed his hands, looked at his eldest disciple, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Ah San, if one day, your junior brother has to die for the sake of Zheshan, what will you do?"
The first sentence is such an inexplicable question, I'm afraid that only Chang Yu Zhenren can say it.
Ah Sang looked into Chang Zhizhen's eyes, as if she wanted to see something inside, and after a moment she asked, "What must be the death of the little junior brother?"
Chang Yi Zhenren does not speak.
Ah Sang said: "The little junior brother can die for Zheshan, but Zheshan can't ask the junior brother to die for Zheshan." ”
Chang Yi Zhenren said: "But you must know that the wish of being a teacher in this life is Zhongxing Zheshan, there is really a day, you have to choose this way, the master is not you." ”
Ah Sang shook his head and said, "The scale in Master's heart understands better than me. ”
Chang Yizhen had a headache and said, "In other words, your little junior brother can't move?"
Ahsan nodded.
"I really don't understand, your little junior brother has only been on the mountain for a few years, and he has already surpassed him as a teacher in your heart. Chang Yi Zhenren sighed.
Ah Sang asked, "What does Master really want to give up his little junior brother for?"
Chang Yi Zhenren shook his head and said: "In a certain way, he is Zheshan, and Zheshan is him, how to give it up?"
"So where did that come about?"
Chang Yi Zhenren said: "If you ask casually, I just think that the master has drunk too much." ”
After saying this, he stepped aside and smiled, "Ah San, treat your little junior brother well." ”
Ahsan gave Chang Yu a strange look, but left quickly.
Chang Yi Zhenren looked at her back and said with some disappointment: "The female university is not staying, such a girl is really stubborn." ”
As he spoke, he glanced up into the distance, and his figure suddenly dissipated.
——
Recently, I think my state is okay, and the chapters I wrote are quite satisfied, Xian Chao originally wanted to write an independent story, but when I wrote it later, I felt that it was also very good for him to have some contact with the world, as for whether Gu Meng would meet Li Fuyao and Chao Qingqiu in the future, I think there is a high probability that it will, but the final story of these people, I think it may be told in another book.
Of course, it's just a matter of imagining, how Qinghuai wakes up in the back of the world, the ending of Dao and Fuyao, and those stories outside the world, which will be mentioned in the Immortal Dynasty, but whether it is the tip of the iceberg or whether I am determined to finish it all here depends on my thoughts in the future.
