The Third Dao Hall Chapter 22 Parting and Encountering
The last slanting sun on the horizon was gradually swallowed up by darkness, the land ushered in a sleepless night, the dark forest was silent, all the animals seemed to be aware of the imminent event, did not dare to make the slightest sound, all of them waited quietly, no matter how the next thing developed, they were not qualified to participate, as a bystander, witness all this happening!
Not only the animals around the abyss, but also the disciples and elders of the various sects who had just survived the catastrophe, they were not qualified to participate, this was a person's decision, and it would affect the fate of this place for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to come!
Ji Zhu, the last monarch who was still in the abyss, was woken up by the sound outside, and his soul floated out of the hall, frozen in place, and the scene in front of him was the scene he had thought and thought about countless days and nights, and dreamed of it.
As far as the eye can see, there are many pavilions outside, the layers are distinct, standing on the commanding heights of the city can take in the scenery of the imperial city, and I still remember the side hall on the left, which is the mansion of his favorite little princess, Princess Feihe. The voice and smile of the past seem to be right in front of you.
Looking further ahead, followed by the palace of several princes, I remember that every time I go, the appearance of those boys is still vivid. Originally, I wanted to pass the position to Ji Huai's kid, and then I abdicated and cultivated with peace of mind, but now I can't use it, the rabbit cub is gone, and Shao Kangguo is gone......
A figure gradually appeared in front of him, and then turned into a national teacher half-kneeling on the ground and wearing court clothes.
"Your Majesty......" Cao Shuo called respectfully.
Although Ji Shu has been asleep most of the time, he sometimes wakes up, and he is not ignorant of Cao Shuo's plan, he felt Cao Shuo's will to die before, and he wanted them to join forces and be born again, but ......
He respects the choice of the national teacher and will not forcibly interfere, no matter the vicissitudes of life, he Cao Shuo has always been the national teacher of Shaokang Kingdom, and this will never change!
"Lao Cao, I remember that you were thirty years old, you became the position of the national teacher, at that time the group of old guys still did not agree, saying that you are too thoughtful, the plot is very big, one day will bring the country to destruction, Lao Tzu scolded them at that time a bloody dog, Lao Tzu personally selected the national teacher can be bad? But damn it, what he said is really accurate! hahaha...... The most correct decision Lao Tzu made in his life was to choose you as the national teacher, but they were all wrong, and I was wrong, how could you be a small national teacher with your talent, all of us looked down on you, Lao Cao...... It's me who mistook you!I'm sorry for you!" Ji Shu looked at the sky, recalling little by little, and said in the end, he was extremely self-reproachful.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't cry in his soul state, Ji Shu would be crying like a child now.
Cao Shuo lowered his head, his soul body was trembling, and he said in a deep voice: "The old minister doesn't blame Your Majesty, if it weren't for Your Majesty's strength, where would I be today, thanks to Your Majesty's love, the old minister will live this life...... No regrets!"
"But, Your Majesty...... The old minister is homesick, the minister wants to tell the old man to return to his hometown, and I hope that His Majesty will approve it!" Cao Shuo said in a trembling voice on his knees. Although there were only the two of them present, they were still extremely solemn, because this was Cao Shuo's life and Ji Zhu's life.
“...... That's it!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In these three words, they ended thousands of years of mutual bondage!
"Your Majesty...... At the time of parting, the old minister left a big gift for you under the palace, which can help you...... Oh yes, Your Majesty handed over this national operation to Lord Erli for the old minister, and the minister has never broken his trust with others!" Cao Shuo got up, took out a scroll, and handed it to Ji Zhu.
Ji Shu took it, Cao Shuo's last wish, how could he refuse, opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, the old minister will take his leave. Cao Shuo said goodbye, turned around and left step by step, stepping on every step as if to say goodbye.
Ji Shu looked at Cao Shuo's back on the high platform, and saw him say loudly as he walked: "Young chivalrous, befriend Wuduxiong." Hepatobiliary cavity. Hair shrugged. Talking. Life and death are the same. A promise is worth ......" (1)
"A promise is worth a ......," Ji Shu muttered.
When Cao Shuo disappeared from view, Ji Shu couldn't help but feel a little stunned, looked at the scroll in his hand, and then looked in the direction where Cao Shuo disappeared. After a long time, he sighed and turned around and returned to the main hall, how could Cao Shuo not know that he had left something in the main hall?
After some searching, I finally found a coffin of Xuan Ice nine feet underground, and there was a young man exactly like Ji Shu inside, who was lying peacefully in it, which was Ji Zhu's body back then.
"National teacher, national teacher, this gift is really not small!" Ji Shu said with emotion.
It's not just not small, it's so big that it's boundless, the body is sealed in the coffin of Xuanbing, and the soul is fostered with soul wood, when the two are combined, Ji Shu can be reborn immediately, and he won't have any sense of rejection like others, because this is his original body.
How much chance does it take for such a big Xuan Ice to get, and it was made into a coffin like a violent celestial thing, and it was preserved in this life, which I don't know how much it cost, and there is also a rumored supernatural thing like soul wood.
This love will never be returned!
Ji Shu did not hesitate, his soul passed through the coffin of Xuan Bing and entered his former body, and he found Zhihai with ease, and took control of his body very smoothly, after all, it was his former body, exactly the same as it was at the beginning, and it was kept so intact that the cost was unimaginable.
The heart gradually began to recover, and after more than 4,000 years, the body felt the vitality of life again, the body functions slowly awakened, and the aura slowly flowed in the meridians.
Ji Shu opened his eyes, the last time he saw the world like this was thousands of years ago, and he woke up with a human body again, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, thinking that all this was prepared for him by Cao Shuo, and he sighed in his heart.
When Ji Shu opened his eyes, the entire imperial city began to change, and gradually began to reject him, Ji Shu knew what was going on, which showed that Cao Shuo had already started his final plan, and it was estimated that the medium that triggered it was his own awakening, but he couldn't stay for a long time now, so he had to leave quickly.
This imperial city carried too many of his feelings and left too many memories here, so he left like this, and he was a little reluctant for a while.
But thinking that this was Cao Shuo's last wish, how could Ji Shu not cooperate, opened the coffin of Xuanbing, got up and moved slightly, his body was still a little uncomfortable for a while, it should be that the soul body has been in a state for a long time, and suddenly he has a body, and he is still a little stiff in all aspects.
After a while, Ji Shu was able to control his body perfectly, but the sense of rejection became stronger and stronger, as if he was about to be expelled.
Ji Shu was speechless for a while, this is the Shaokang Imperial City, he will be expelled in the Imperial City, it is a shame to say it, fortunately, there is no one here.
The movement outside was getting louder and louder, but it was not from the city, but from the abyss. As soon as there was a change in the abyss, the Spirit Returning Venerable who was controlling the broken flag in the distance immediately sensed it.
"Is there a change in the abyss?" The spirit and the others don't know what happened, but as long as it is an abyss change, it is basically not a good thing, this is the experience summed up over the years.
The Venerable Master Ling Huan resolutely accepted the small flag and said to everyone: "The abyss has changed, and it is better for you to stay away." ”
When everyone saw that the Venerable Master was ready to run away, they didn't understand anything, and they didn't bother to ask, so it was true that they hurried away as soon as possible.
Only the elders of the Biluo Huangquan Sect did not run away with them, but marched in another direction, because just now, an unfamiliar voice came from Xu Guangling's mind, saying that the disciples of the Biluo Huangquan Sect were all over there, and they didn't care about the changes in the abyss, so they hurriedly led the elders to go directly there.
Along the way, Xu Guangling was anxious, worried about the changes in the abyss, and worried that there were still a few of his disciples left, they rushed at full speed, and soon arrived at the place where the strange voice said, and saw a large number of people over there from a distance, and Gu Hong, Su Yanrong, and several important disciples were among them, Xu Guangling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had never seen anyone alive before, and he had not seen a corpse in death, Xu Guangling began to discuss with the elders how to report to the sect.
When he got closer, he looked over one by one, and was surprised to find that there was no one less of them, but one more, which made him feel the difference, and walked up to the somewhat familiar and somewhat strange person, and asked with his fists: "Is it Your Excellency's message?"
Lu Zhong looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who had already deviated a little from his memory, and called himself Xu Mou, it should be Xu Guangling back then, right? Lu Zhong saw that he didn't recognize himself, and he had no intention of meeting him, so he said: "It's not down, but it." ”
Xu Guangling looked at Lu Zhong's line of sight, only to find that it was a rabbit with mixed hair, Zou frowned and said, "Is this rabbit?
Su Yanrong and the others had seen the temper of Eli, but they all held their foreheads with their hands, as if they didn't see it.
When Erli heard the contemptuous words of the middle-aged uncle opposite, he not only looked down on himself, but also said that he was a rabbit, and immediately became angry, pinched his furry fist, jumped up and punched Xu Guangling's lower abdomen.
Before he could see what it was, a huge force came, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, flying two or three meters away before stopping, and the elders and disciples present were all stunned.
What happened just now? Elder Xu was punched away by a rabbit? The other elders were stunned. The disciples were also surprised, although they knew that this dead rabbit was very powerful, but they wouldn't punch Elder Xu away, right? What kind of strength does this rabbit have?
Only Lu Zhong was not surprised by the people present, because he had stayed with this rabbit for a year or two, and he got used to it after seeing more, no matter how powerful you are, it's not that you can't overturn me, this is Lu Zhong's confidence.
After Xu Guangling was beaten away, he didn't get up from the ground for a while, he was stupid, what rabbit is so powerful, although he is defenseless, but it is not something that ordinary people can shake, this rabbit must not be regarded as common sense.
As if realizing that this was a bit embarrassing, he turned over, looked at everyone, and said fiercely: "What did you all see?"
"I didn't ...... No, I didn't see anything!" The group of people acted in a surprisingly consistent manner, covering their eyes with their hands and turning their faces to the side, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Guangling looked at Lu Zhong and asked curtly, "This little brother, are you ...... What kind of species is this? So powerful!" Xu Guangling couldn't find the words to describe Eli for a while, his language was vague, and his eyes swept over Eli's palm-sized body from time to time, it was this thing, and he beat himself away in an instant, it was simply unreasonable!
"Heh, this thing is called Doli, if it weren't for it, it would be difficult to say how many disciples of your sect would have left. Lu Zhong chuckled. But as soon as the words fell, Lu Zhong felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, and Erli thumped him on the head, and the force was just controlled without destroying his body, and it could make him feel the pain.
While pounding, he scolded: "You are the thing! Lao Tzu is your second uncle!"
Xu Guangling was stunned from the sidelines, "This is this...... Can it talk?"
"What's the matter, boy, if it weren't for the fact that you were a first-time offender, you would probably still be lying on the ground by now!"
Is this thing so rampant? Surely I, an elder, don't want to lose face?
"Hmph, if you hadn't attacked me just now, would you have been able to do it? Let's do it once, I'll just stand here and don't move, if you can make me move for half a minute, you're my uncle!" Xu Guangling said unconvinced, he still didn't believe it, this thing is only a mountain and sea realm, if you are prepared, can you still lose?
"Yo! You're quite backbone, since you're sincerely uncomfortable, then Uncle Ben will be merciful enough to satisfy you," Erli sneered.
