The night in late autumn was as cool as water, and the wind was even colder, blowing from the window and hitting Tang Qing.

He stood in the temple, his face a little pale, and he coughed even more.

The scholar brought a bowl of soup and medicine, motioned for him to drink it, and said, "Sometimes, you also need to go out for a walk often. ”

Tang Qing drank the bowl of decoction, his face was a little ruddy, and he said weakly: "The wind and rain outside will be even greater, I don't know if I can hold on." ”

The scholar smiled: "Everything has creation, rest assured." ”

At this point, he suddenly turned his eyes and looked out of the temple.

More than a dozen panicked maids rushed from the darkness, they saw the windows and doors of the palace wide open, and the cold wind blew towards His Royal Highness the Prince, and they couldn't help but look like ashes, if Tang Qing had a little mistake, these maids would only have a dead end.

There were already a few maids who had gone to inform the Empress and Emperor Tang, and the rest were in a hurry to close the windows and doors.

Tang Qing coughed, stretched out a hand, and said, "Don't turn it off." ”

The voice was not loud, a little inaudible, but very firm.

The expressions of the maids froze, and they looked at the prince who rarely spoke in the past, and they were a little overwhelmed for a while.

In their impression, this is not the attitude that Tang Qing should have.

Simple and decisive, unquestionable.

A layer of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness not far away, and a team of people and horses surrounded a delicate woman walking quickly, on the way, the woman's eyes were moist, looking at Tang Qing who was standing against the wind, very distressed.

She is the queen of the Tang Kingdom, her mother's name is Lianzhou Feng'er, after marrying the Tang Emperor, she was given the name of a phoenix queen, it is said that she was the most beautiful woman on this continent when she was young... There are countless strong people in this continent, and there are countless young talents, and those people are extremely high-spirited, but in front of her, they will give up all their pride, just to seek the heart of a beautiful woman.

But she finally married Emperor Tang, and on the day she got married, many men on the mainland chose to remain silent.

Although unwilling, no one dared to speak out.

Because Emperor Tang cultivated to the realm of a saint at that time, no one dared to provoke him.

Since a long time ago, there have always been four saints on this continent.

The grass on both sides of the East China Sea is a saint.

The Wilderness Juggernaut of the South Hill hills.

The dry Zen Buddha saint of the temple of the Western Regions.

The Demon Saint of the Yellow Sand of the Northern Desert.

These four people represent the four strongest forces in the world.

Like a god.

No one would have expected that one day many years later, a young man in the mountains, in order to pursue the most beautiful Feng'er on the mainland at that time, would roll up countless battles, rise up many wars, and finally create the Tang Empire brick by brick, city and state.

That young man in the mountains and fields was the later Tang Emperor.

That country is a gift to Lianzhou Feng'er.

And since then, people have known that on the mainland, there is an emperor saint of the Tang Kingdom.

Debut is the pinnacle.

No one knows how he did it, even after all these years.

For many, it was a legendary time.

For Queen Feng, it is just a past when she was young.

In the past sixteen years, she has taken away all her own light, hidden in the depths of the harem of the Tang Kingdom, and has long looked down on the past.

The current Queen Feng only hopes that her children can be safe, take a creation, and destroy the bane of the innate cold body, but a matter of concern for herself, the Tang Emperor, and even all the people of the Tang Kingdom.

At this moment, in front of the palace gate, Tang Qing wiped away the tears in Queen Feng's eyes and said softly: "It's no big deal, my mother doesn't have to worry." ”

The maids knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, just begging His Royal Highness the prince to be really fine.

The scholar sighed and quietly stepped aside.

Queen Feng touched Tang Qing's pale cheeks, tears were already falling, and she said softly: "Qing'er, why bother like this? Do you want your mother to die of distress? Why don't you go back to the room quickly!"

"It's just a blow. ”

Tang Qing said with a smile: "I have been hiding in the palace for sixteen years, and I never knew that the autumn wind was cold, and it was like this." At least tonight, it made me feel flesh and blood, real. ”

Queen Feng shook her head and said distressedly: "Born with a cold body, every time you get cold, the cold will seep into the depths of your blood, accumulate over time, one day, the blood in your whole body will be frozen, at that time, even if your father is a saint, he can't protect you." ”

This is the truth, and every word is heart-wrenching.

Tang Qing didn't care too much.

Hearing that Dao Xi is dying, this sentence is a famous saying of the Dao Sage, and it can just be used on Tang Qing at this moment.

The scholar walked up at the right time and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that a saint can't save the prince, only himself." ”

Empress Feng glanced at him and said, "How can you save yourself, High Priest, you have worked hard for sixteen years, but you can't crack the cold poison in Qing'er's body, could it be..."

"The realm of saints is immortal and immortal. ”

The scholar said flatly: "That creation will come on the day when the prince becomes a saint." ”

Empress Feng's tears condensed slightly, she was surprised, then she thought deeply, and then she was a little angry: "The realm of saints?

The scholar ignored Queen Feng, just looked at Tang Qing and said softly, "Are you also joking with me?"

Tang Qing looked at the scholar with a lot of emotions in his eyes.

"I believe it. He spoke quickly, briefly.

The scholar nodded and said, "In this way, the prince will leave early tomorrow morning and leave the Tang Kingdom." ”

Tang Qing asked, "Where are you going?"

The scholar looked up at the depths of the night sky, the autumn wind was whining, and the cold hit people, just like his voice: "Go to the place where the wind and cold start, and rise against fate..."

"I will never allow it!" Empress Feng frowned coldly, covered Tang Qing behind her, and said coldly: "Qing'er can't go anywhere, I don't want him to go out to die! Moreover, his father will never agree!"

The scholar shook his head and sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has not yet appeared, which proves that he trusts me very much, just as he has done in the past twelve years. And letting the prince leave the blessing of the Tang Kingdom, go to the continent to break through, and face the wind and rain alone, this is a trip against fate, the root of that creation, and the only way to crack the cold poison. ”

Empress Feng still wanted to speak, but Tang Qing walked out from behind her and said softly: "Mother, I listen to Mr." ”

The tone is very light, but very firm.

Queen Feng's face was full of disbelief, and her eyes were moist again.

Tang Qing hugged the Phoenix Queen into his arms, with a smile on his face and tears in his eyes.

The scholar's gaze still falls on the depths of the night sky, as if frozen in eternity.

The night is deeper.

There is a rockery group in the depths of the apse of the Tang Kingdom, and the periphery of the rockery is a circle of turquoise lake, which ripples slightly under the night wind, like the continuation of a nightmare.

The Phoenix Queen finally left, and Tang Qing and the scholar were silent in front of the palace gate for a long time, and then came here.

"Sir, I have a question. ”

Tang Qing felt all kinds of unrest in the dark night, and suddenly spoke: "I don't cultivate the Tao, I don't worship the Buddha, I don't practice swords, I don't become a demon, and I don't enter the world with martial arts like my father, so I don't know how to go on the road of a saint." ”

The scholar smiled: "Actually, saints have always been just people's wishful thinking. ”

The night was heavy, like a nightmare.

Tang Qing coughed and frowned.

The scholar sighed, as if in a dream: "In fact, the so-called saints in people's mouths are just standing a little higher than ordinary people, and seeing a little more things than many people, to put it bluntly, the five saints on the continent, including your father, are just extremely strong in their respective fields, but they are by no means extreme." So before that, the achievements and prestige they had achieved may have been unprecedented, but they were by no means unprecedented. ”

Such criticism will definitely go down in history and be spurned by others.

If you insult a saint, you will always be criticized and insulted, even if the person who said these words is the wisest high priest in the Tang Kingdom.

Of course, he is the only one who dares to make such a criticism.

Tang Qing's brows furrowed even deeper, he shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't understand very well. ”

To put it simply, all people can be sanctified. The scholar raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "As long as he is absolutely ahead in his own world." ”

"For example?" asked Tang Qing.

"A swordsman, if he wields his sword faster than anyone else, must be accurate, and has strength, and he can be canonized on the path of the sword, if a woman can be canonized with a smile, and if she can laugh at the city, and then laugh at the world, she can be canonized, even if she is a thief, as long as she can do everything in the world that cannot be stolen, in his world, she can be canonized. ”

The scholar slowly put away his smile, looked up at the night sky, and continued: "The saint is the first. As long as you do the first, you will naturally become holy. ”

Very simple logic, it sounds like a joke, but it makes a lot of sense.

Tang Qing was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "First, my body is the weakest in the world..."

The scholar glanced down at Tang Qing, ignoring the joke, he said seriously: "You like to read, you are good at reading, in this way, as long as you go out of the Tang Kingdom and read all the books in the world, you will know the affairs of the world and become holy." ”

Tang Qing was a little surprised: "Reading can also become holy?"

"The Dao Sage's cultivation recipe comes from books, the Sword Sage's peerless sword book comes from books, the Buddha's Golden Light Sutra comes from books, the Demon Sage's Flame Demon Skill comes from books, and your father's Imperial General's Technique also comes from books. ”

The scholar's right hand was placed on the ancient book on his waist and he said, "A true saint must be read by reading." Of course, in addition to reading, you also need to have extraordinary talent and wisdom. ”

Tang Qing was dumbfounded, feeling incredible.

Both fell silent.

The scholar looked into nothingness, as if he had realized something.

Tang Qing looked at the scholar and couldn't accept it.

After a long time, His Royal Highness the Prince coughed and said, "I'm afraid that the most read person in this world is you, sir, so to speak..."

He didn't finish his words, but the scholar smiled meaningfully, nodded, took his words and said, "I have been a saint many years ago, but I have never done anything in the world, so only your father knows about this matter before tonight." ”

This sentence is an understatement, but it is taken for granted.

If someone else says it, I'm afraid I'll be taken as crazy.

But now the person who said these words was the high priest of the Tang Kingdom.

Tang Qing was a little shocked, and said in a condensed voice: "So, in the matter of reading, Mr. has gone ahead of everyone. ”

The scholar thought for a long time, and then spoke: "You can say that, but I have only read a lot, by no means the extreme, and there are some books that I have not finished yet." On this point, I'm the same as the other five. ”

Tang Qing glanced at the ancient book and thought thoughtfully.

He suddenly said, "Book Saint, is it very strong, compared to the other five saints, sir?"

Hearing this, the scholar smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.

Then he glanced at the night sky.
