The little eunuch is Li Xiang.

Yes, in the true story, Li Xiang is just a little eunuch, and Gu Meng is the last emperor of Southern Chu, the last emperor of Southern Chu, and the descendant of the Daning royal family.

In the past so many years, Gu Meng has always known that Li Xiang is not a real eunuch, but he never thought that he was not only not a eunuch, but also had the blood of the Daning royal family flowing on his body.

He is also a member of the Daning royal family.

So what is his true identity?

Is it a certain prince of his father's emperor, or a branch of the Southern Chu royal family, or neither?

This is the question that Gu Meng has since he learned that he is a descendant of the Daning royal family, and it is also the thing he is most concerned about.

So he looked at Li Xiang and asked.

Li Xiang's slightly immature face did not have a panicked expression, and hearing this, he looked at Gu Meng and said softly: "Your Majesty thinks that who I am is very important?"

Gu Meng asked rhetorically, "Isn't this matter important?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang smiled and said, "It's really important, but how can I have an answer to this matter? You don't know, how can I know?"

Gu Meng was stunned, but he quickly reacted, Li Xiang had no problem with what he said, this was his heart, everything would develop according to what he thought and thought, but what he didn't know, naturally he didn't know.

It's useless to ask Li Xiang.

Unless you can come out and ask the real Li Xiang.

But where was Li Xiang at this time? Ever since he entered the Imperial Tomb, no one had seen him.

Gu Meng shook his head, "I'll know, forget it." ”

Li Xiang smiled and nodded, but sat down on the steps.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the moon was hiding behind the clouds, if he wasn't a cultivator, Gu Meng would only feel that it was pitch black between heaven and earth.

He looked at the building in front of him and just like that.

After a long time, Gu Meng said with some surprise: "What's the matter?"

Li Xiang sat on the steps and said softly: "You can kill Emperor Wai without care, but this does not mean that your heart knot can be completely untied, if you can't untie the knot in your heart, or if you are in the way, you can't go out." ”

That is Emperor Ning Qi's way of testing people, if you want to obtain his inheritance, you must at least be able to control your inner existence, otherwise how can you be qualified to be favored by him?

This is a test and a trial, but the cost is very high, if you can't see through it, then you can only stay here for the rest of your life until your heart is exhausted and you die.

People who can't see through their hearts are no different from waste for Emperor Ning Qi.

Since it's waste, let's die.

Gu Meng was born in the royal family, so he naturally knew what that kind of ruthless emperor would think.

Gu Meng turned his head to look at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang also looked at Gu Ming, "Your Majesty, if you need to, just kill me." ”

Gu Ming's biggest weakness may be Li Xiang.

This young man who replaced him at the beginning has a different meaning for Gu Ming.

Gu Meng glanced at Li Xiang, did not speak, but stood up, and suddenly walked towards a certain place in the night.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Li Xiang's voice was behind him, but Gu Meng ignored it.

He left in front of the imperial study, followed the palace road, passed through several large halls, and then came to a remote palace.

There was a small courtyard there, and through the window screen, you could see the lights inside.

There are lights flickering.

Gu Meng stopped in front of the door.

Tsai carefully arranged his sideburns, and there was no way to do the wide imperial robe on his body, so he walked in.

Coming to the door, Gu Meng stopped again, thought about it, and knocked on the door.

Knock knock!

"Who is it?"

There was a gentle voice from inside, and just listening to the voice, you should know that the owner of the voice would be a very gentle person.

Gu Meng stood in front of the door and did not speak.

He wanted to speak, but found that his teeth were already chattering, and he couldn't open his mouth.

A short time later, the door was opened with the sound of footsteps.

Standing in the door is a palace woman, born extremely beautiful, face like hibiscus, eyebrows like willow leaves, dignified demeanor, does not look like a woman in the world, should be the fairy of the fairy court, is the nine heavens above the Xuannu.

When he saw this woman, Gu Meng couldn't hold back any longer, and his tears began to drip non-stop, and soon he burst into tears and couldn't cry.

The woman looked at him, and soon reached out to wipe away his tears, and whispered, "Ah Ming, what are you crying for?"

This woman is none other than Queen Sun, and she is also Gu Ming's mother.

Gu Meng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Queen Mother!"

......

......

Liang Zhao was the fourth person to come to the palace, and before entering the palace, he killed several people.

It was a few cultivators of the Beiling Sect, who arrived in front of the palace before him, and after seeing Liang Zhao coming, he didn't know what he thought, but he made a move anyway.

Several people are cultivators of the fourth realm, although they are not the top, but it is not easy to deal with a few people joining forces, but it is a pity that they met Liang Zhao.

So after that, Liang Zhao spent half an hour to kill all these cultivators, if this was put outside, one person against several cultivators in the same realm, and he could still win the battle, Liang Zhao's name would definitely be bigger than now, but Liang Zhao didn't have this idea, just walked towards the imperial city.

He soon came to the Imperial City, and through a long palace road, he didn't know why, and came to a lake.

The mountains and rivers on the side are beautiful, and there is a lake in front of you.

The water of the lake is so clear that you can see the fish swimming in it clearly.

Liang looked at the lake, a little distracted, and suddenly, the lake suddenly darkened, and when he looked at it again, a sea of stars actually appeared inside.

The countless stars seem to have been placed at the bottom of the lake, and they are extremely beautiful to look at.

The star that stands out the most is white.

Liang Zhao looked at the white star with a solemn expression, this turned out to be not an ordinary star, but a sword star.

That white sword star is the Gengxin Sword Star, this sword star is the most unique sword star, in the sea of stars, only it is white.

From an outsider's point of view, this sword star should belong to Liang Zhao.

Liang Zhao knew that this was not the case.

Suddenly, another man appeared on the shore of the lake.

It was a middle-aged man who was not too tall and had a calm aura all over his body.

"Master. ”

Liang Zhao subconsciously shouted.

It turned out that this man was none other than Lan Linzhen, the head of the Sword Court, who was not only the top three kendo masters in the world, but also Liang Zhao's master.

Lan Lin Zhenren watched the fish in the lake and didn't speak for a long time.

Liang Zhao felt a little strange.

He was a little nervous.

"My patriarch once left a codex, saying that he had never met a real person in his life. ”

Lan Linzhen looked at the lake, but still didn't look at Liang Zhao.

"Dare to ask Master, what is a real person?"

Cultivators in the world, no matter what method they practice or what blade they use, most of them are born from the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the beginning.

The patriarch of the Sword Court also practiced in the Daomen, but then he had other ideas, so he left and created the Sword Court, but this origin is there, everyone who knows knows it, and it has been handed down, and it is also called the real person in the past dynasties.

Of course, the word "real person" will be more widely spread in the Daomen.

This is just an honorific title, and Taoist priests who have achieved Taoist cultivation can be called so.

But at this time, the real person that Lan Lin Zhenren said should not be this.

"To be true is to be human. ”

Lan Lin Zhenren looked at the lake and said with a smile: "It's hard to say, but it's actually not difficult at all, being a real person, it's actually quite simple, do what you want in your heart, don't tend to be inflammatory, don't reverse black and white, and maintain your heart is a real person." ”

Liang Zhao replied: "If you can be called a real person in this way, it is normal for the ancestor not to see anyone in this life." ”

Lan Lin Zhenren asked, "What about you, can you say that you are a real person?"

Liang Zhao was stunned, and was a little unreasonable by this question.

"The disciple didn't dare. ”

Liang Zhao was still respectful and did not make any radical moves.

Lan Lin Zhenren smiled: "You are naturally not a real person, if you look at it as a teacher, you are even a villain." ”

Liang Zhao trembled in his heart, and stood behind Lan Lin Zhenren with a complicated expression.

"Why did the identity of Gengxin Sword Master be fraudulently used?"

Finally, Lan Linzhen said what he wanted to say the most, which was also the last thing Liang Zhao wanted to hear.

It's a pity that it's always like this, the more you don't want to hear it, the more you have to be mentioned.

Liang Zhao frowned and said, "What the master said, the disciple doesn't know how to answer. ”

Lan Lin Zhenren said calmly: "Answer truthfully." ”

Liang Zhao was silent, but still silent.

Lan Lin Zhenren raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you answer?"

Liang Zhao looked at Lan Linzhen's back and felt unusually terrifying, which made a lot of things appear in his eyes, those things he got in the past, those that he got in the Sword Court, all because of his identity as the sword master of Gengxin, once he admitted that he was not, what would happen?

Liang Zhao knew that it must be deprived, so he didn't dare to admit it.

"You're not the Gengxin Sword Master!"

Lan Lin Zhenren suddenly spoke, and this sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, making his whole person temporarily lose his strength.

Liang Zhao's face was pale and bloodless.

"The disciple is indeed not the Gengxin Sword Master. Looking at the sea of stars at the bottom of the lake in the distance, Liang Zhao was a little depressed.

That white sword star is still so special, but it is like mocking him, Liang Zhao has rarely looked at that Gengxin sword star over the years, just because he knows that the star is not his, and every time he looks at it, he will have some special thoughts and guilt.

He had some resentment towards the real Gengxin Sword Master, but after so many years, no sword cultivator had ever come out to admit it, Liang Zhao knew that the true Gengxin Sword Master who was standing in the shadows would appear one day, in his guess, the sword cultivator who had been in retreat in the Sword Mansion in the north was the most likely, but the young man did not tell the world about it, which also made Liang Zhao a little confused.

He didn't know what the man was thinking.

The unknown is terrifying.

"Liang Zhao, I am very disappointed as a teacher. Lan Linzhen suddenly turned his head, looking at the extremely gentle face on weekdays, there was still no anger, only disappointment.

It was a complete disappointment.

The real person in charge of the Sword Court slowly spoke: "Are you the Gengxin Sword Master, in fact, in the eyes of the teacher, it doesn't matter at all, what the teacher values is your calmness, your talent, and your character, you are not the Gengxin Sword Master, but you are good enough, why can't the Sword Court be handed over to you?"

Lan Lin Zhenren said: "Why do you say that you are the Gengxin Sword Master? is it for those things that the Sword Court gave you? In fact, these teachers can be given to you, but the time will be later." ”

Lan Linzhen said abruptly: "The best disciple of the teacher is you, accept you as an apprentice, and I am very proud of the teacher, but you have disappointed the teacher." ”

Liang Zhao was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Lan Linzhen and said, "Master, you are wrong. ”

Lan Linzhen was stunned, "How is it wrong to be a teacher?"

"I have a talent for cultivation, I'm not the Gengxin Sword Master, but I can still get what I deserve now, but it will be later, what does it mean to be late, my senior brothers are much older than me, and the realm is higher than mine, Master has lived for hundreds of years, is it possible that he can live forever?"

Liang Zhao looked at Lan Lin Zhenren and said, "Master can't live forever, this position of the head of the sect will be passed on sooner or later, then will Master pass it on to me a senior brother who has become a sword cultivator in the Golden Gate Realm, or me?"

This remark is extremely reasonable, it is true, no matter how high Liang Zhao's talent is, as long as he is not a sword cultivator in the Golden Que Realm, there is no way to inherit the position of the head of the Sword Court, even if he is a genius, but he is too late to get started, he is already one step slower, and he will follow every step after that.

"When the senior brother takes over the position of head of the teaching, the elder teacher's uncles and uncles will only say that I am a little pity, and they will not say anything else. ”

Liang Zhao continued: "Of course, after this, I will continue to practice, become the strongest person in the Sword Court, become the elder with the highest prestige, become the most powerful Sword Immortal in the world, and become the leader of the Sword Dao, but so what? The position of Senior Brother in charge will definitely be handed over to his disciples, and his disciples don't need to be too high, as long as it is the Golden Que Realm, it is enough, anyway, it will be me after that, and it will be me who will protect the Sword Court." ”

"My good name will be praised in the world, and the young sword cultivators will follow my example, and the practitioners of later generations will praise and admire me when they mention my name. ”

Lan Lin Zhenren said slowly: "Isn't that good?"

Liang Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not good, because this is not what I want at all, what I want, it has never been this." ”

Yes, then all the good future is good enough, I think there are not many cultivators in the world who will refuse, even if Liang Zhao really reaches that point, it is the same, he can only accept it, what else can he do? Relying on his own realm to force his senior brother or nephew to abdicate and forcibly sit in the position of the head of the Sword Court? It's not impossible, but if this is the case, his reputation will not be good.

And there will be a lot of things that will come up.

For example, Liang Zhao's body is written in the annals, and it is said that he is extremely genius, and his lifelong experience is perfect, but there is one thing that has been criticized.

Such an evaluation will remain in history.

Liang Zhao was unwilling.

He wants to sit in the seat of the head of the Sword Court in a dignified manner.

He wants to become the leader of the kendo generation. It will be passed down through the ages.

Lan Lin Zhenren suddenly spoke: "However, the fact that you pretended to use the Gengxin Sword Master was known, and you are still a stain on your life!"

Yes, the stain of life is by no means limited to forcing fellow disciples to abdicate.

And many others.

This matter is also very serious.

Liang Zhao said calmly: "I have thought about it, I can solve this matter." ”

One day, another Gengxin sword master will appear, and then Liang Zhao will fight with him and defeat him.

After defeating him, even if the other party says that he is the master of the Gengxin sword, no one will believe it, if the other party is willing to prove it with his life, it is another matter.

However, if he did not die, then in the years to come, Liang Zhao would have to work hard to solve this matter, and he believed that he would definitely have a solution to the matter after paying for a hundred years.

When the time comes, he will still be perfect.

Lan Lin Zhenren sighed: "You live so hypocritically, can you really go to the extreme in the way of the sword?"

Liang Zhao didn't speak, he was silent for a while, and then said, "Master just asked, what is a real person?"

"That's what I am, I'm maintaining my nature, am I a real person?"

Liang Zhao calmed down, as if he had thought of something, and the whole person seemed to be much more open.

Lan Lin Zhenren was stunned, what is a real person, the answer he gave before was that he could maintain his nature and not tend to be inflammatory, but if Liang Zhao's nature was such a person, he also made a decision to follow his nature by using the identity of Gengxin Sword Master, is he a real person?

This is a question that Lan Linzhen can't answer.

A real person is obviously a description of a good person, but judging from the words "real person" itself, Liang Zhao seems to be doing so.

If someone wants to do evil, it is because he likes to do evil in his nature, that is, he is willing to do evil, and he is not coerced by anything, on the contrary, when he does evil, he is actually very happy, so is this person a hypocritical person?

Liang Zhao said: "I have never disobeyed myself, I have been such a person from beginning to end, I have no problems. ”

After saying this, Liang Zhao slowly drew his sword, looked at Lan Lin Zhenren, and said very seriously: "Maybe this kind of hypocrite should be said, but what if I was born a hypocrite?"

After saying this, he no longer let Lan Lin Zhenren speak, but swung his sword and slashed at Lan Lin Zhenren.

Lan Linzhen will be destroyed when he encounters a sword.

It turned into a puff of smoke.

Then Liang Zhao slashed towards the lake, and the lake dissipated, and the sea of stars followed.

Liang Zhao opened his eyes again, and he appeared in the imperial city.

Yes, everything before was fake, and that was just a test.

Liang Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance, then slowly walked over there.

He was not the first cultivator to enter the Imperial City, but he was the fastest cultivator to break the heart demon, and in a certain way, a person like Liang Zhao was born ruthless and was the most suitable person to be an emperor.

If there is only one test, maybe Liang Zhao can really become the inheritor of Emperor Ning Qi.

It's just that if the test is so simple, how can it be Emperor Ning Qi's style of acting?

......

......

The debate between Zhizen and the other two monks came to an end, and his musings ended.

He raised his head and looked at Listening Zen and Enlightenment.

Listening to Zen's white eyebrows, "How, figured it out?"

Zhizen nodded.

Wu Chan said, "In that case, come with us as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble for yourself." ”

Zhizen shook his head.

"Why?"

The two monks looked a little solemn.

Zhichan said: "The little monk thought about it, what the two seniors said made sense, but the little monk still understood a truth. ”

"What's the reason?"

"The little monk is a knowledgeable Zen, not the continuation of the will of the two predecessors, what road the little monk wants to take, the little monk himself will try slowly, not to worry about the two seniors. ”

Zhizen looked at the lotus flowers in the sky and said with a smile: "The little monk, even if he is dull and has many problems in practicing Buddhism, he doesn't need more guidance from the two of them, the little monk will explore in this red dust, even if he fails to comprehend the true meaning of the Dharma, he will not resent." ”

Listening to Zen angrily shouted: "How can this be reasonable, you have the audacity to do this!"

The same is true of Zen enlightenment, "The law of eternity is correct, but you want to find another way, confused!"

Zhizen had already thought through and would never waver at this moment, he closed his eyes and whispered, "Amitabha." ”

When he opened his eyes, the lotus flowers in front of him dispersed, and the two monks also left, only the imperial city, and only the way forward.

He clearly felt that the relics in his body were much quieter, and his mind was clearer than before.

He said happily, "Good!"

......

......

Seeing the queen mother who thought about it day and night, Gu Meng finally felt a lot better, but the palace in front of him was still the palace of Nanchu, which showed that he had not yet broken the demon of his heart, which made Gu Meng have a headache.

He wouldn't kill Li Xiang here, because he didn't know if Li Xiang had done anything evil to him, what he knew was that Li Xiang had helped him.

Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible for him to do this kind of thing.

But if you don't kill Li Township, how can you leave?

Gu Meng looked at Queen Sun on the side, and said tiredly: "Queen Mother, I'm so tired. ”

Empress Sun looked at him, stretched out her hand and rubbed his head, and said softly: "Ah Ming, born in the royal family, the burden is heavier than others, how can you not be tired, your father likes you the most, in the future, this Nanchu, maybe it will be handed over to you, and then you will have hundreds of people on your shoulders, this burden is carrying, of course you are tired." ”

Gu Meng said softly: "Queen Mother, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm so tired, after you leave, I have no relatives in the world." ”

Empress Sun didn't seem to hear these words, but just smiled and said: "Ah Ming, no matter what, you have to live well, you remember your own responsibility, you have to protect, you have to protect well, someone is silently loving you, and the queen mother will always watch you behind you." ”

Gu Meng muttered, "Do you live for protection?"

Empress Sun gently put her hand on Gu Ming's cheek, and said softly: "Being in the royal family, of course, you can't help yourself, you are a child, talented and intelligent, there will definitely be a solution, what you are guarding is not only the people who rely on you, but also the people you love, the people you are willing to protect, remember, my mother only said it once, you have to see it yourself in the future." ”

Gu Meng was taken aback, and Huo Ran raised his head.

At this time, Empress Sun on her side disappeared.

Gu Meng shouted, "Queen Mother!"

There was no one around.

Only in the distance did Li Xiang appear again.

He looked at Gu Meng and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is gone." ”
