Chapter 10: The wind rises on all sides, and the clouds surge in all directions
"Have you heard, at the test ceremony of the Celestial Empire, a flawless and immaculate body and a divine vein body appeared. β
The tavern was still lit up late at night, and groups of drinkers gathered around a table.
They were full of the smell of wine, saying that they were happy and had a good time.
The Celestial Empire was originally one of the three major dynasties of the Nether Realm, dominating one side.
Now in the test ceremony, the two legendary physique tests are also making all the sects blushing and salivating.
For a time, clouds rose on all sides, surging in all directions.
"Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. β
The people who secretly coveted the two major gods were all deployed in their own hands, no one would let them grow, and they didn't want to see the rise of a silver-level sect with their own eyes after a thousand years.
That would be an overlord of the Nether.
"In other words, in the thousand-year-old Celestial Empire, a hundred-year-old people, the dragon opera shoal will run aground, and Fengqi and low wood will be killed. Throughout the ages, geniuses emerge in an endless stream, and the years cut the sky, and the inexhaustible can shake the past and the present. β
In the past, storytellers left early, but this is not the same as it used to be.
The storyteller looked up at the window late at night, and then at the full house of diners.
The storyteller smiled with a red face, and the awakening wood in his hand also fell heavily on the wooden table.
The three-day test ceremony is also a three-day grand event of the Celestial Empire, and people from all walks of life can be seen everywhere, and they also have a glimpse of the beauty of the Celestial Empire and the humanity of the Celestial Empire.
By the time they left, they had a lot to gain.
Behind the imperial hall, there stands a palace, pavilions and pavilions, the air is magnificent, the courtyard is high, and the style is extraordinary.
It was the Wannian Palace, the sleeping palace of the emperors of the Celestial Empire.
In front of the Wannian Palace.
Xia Yuan, who had washed up, was refreshed, and the green silk behind him was bound behind him with a strand of golden silk thread, and the smile on his face was very quiet.
Walking in Xia Yuan in the middle of the night in winter, I felt that the cold wind whistling by was not very cold.
"Xia Yuan, do you think I'm good-looking?"
Qin Lan's eyebrows were delicate, she changed into a green dress printed with a white floral skirt, bouncing beside Xia Yuan, she smiled, like an elf who had fallen into the world.
"Beautiful, beautiful. β
Qin Lan danced in the snow under the moon, beautiful and incomprehensible.
Xia Yuan raised his hand and gently patted the white snow that had fallen on Qin Lan's clothes.
Qin Lan's smile was very sweet, and the eyelashes on her eyes were very long, shaking gently, very crystalline.
"Let's go, don't keep my father and them waiting. β
The two joined hands and walked into the Wannian Palace with a smile.
"Yuan'er, Xiaolan, come and eat. None of you have had a good meal in the past three days. β
In the Wannian Palace, a round wooden table is filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes.
Xia Wuhou and King Beiwu sat on the chair and looked at Xia Yuan and Qin Lan who came hand in hand with a smile.
"Father, this is ........."
After Xia Yuan sat next to Xia Wuhou, the aroma of the dishes on the table suddenly came to his nose, and his stomach was already hungry.
Xia Yuan's nose was a little sour, and looking at Xia Wuhou with a kind face, his eyes were slightly red.
This scene of sitting at the same table was still in the Purple Moon Palace a few years ago.
At that time, Xia Yuan was still young, and it was also the happiest time for his mother to laugh.
"Yuan'er, today is a family banquet, and it is also our long-awaited sitting together, although you are missing. β
Xia Wuhou sighed, and there was also a slight loneliness on his heroic face.
As an emperor, how many people are involuntarily self-conscious, how can others know. The former white-clothed Shengxue also moved forward in a dashing manner.
"Yuan'er, don't ask your father, those things about Chen Zhi's rotten grains, it's better to rot in your heart than to say it. β
Xia Wuhou smiled and reached out to touch Xia Yuan's forehead, which also made Xia Yuan, who wanted to stop talking, swallow the words that were choked in his throat.
"Eat it, the winter nights are a little cold, but don't chill these dishes. β
Xia Wuhou picked up the wine glass, then raised his head and drank it all, the mellow fragrance of the wine made him laugh.
"Yes, Yuan'er, Xiaolan, hurry up and move your chopsticks. β
King Beiwu also waved his hand with a smile, and looked at Xia Wuhou out of the corner of his eye, and no one could hear the sigh at the corner of his mouth.
Qin Lan sat next to King Beiwu, she stood up, took a piece of venison with chopsticks in her hand, and put it in King Beiwu's bowl.
Qin Lan's eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons, which were very good-looking.
"Since it's a family banquet, then we don't need to be commensurate with kings and ministers. The eldest brother, the third brother does it first as a respect. β
King Beiwu raised the wine glass in his hand, and as soon as the words fell, he drank the wine in the cup in one go.
"This big brother, from the moment I ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Empire, you have never called again. How many years have passed, have there been twenty?"
The corners of Xia Wuhou's mouth were a little self-deprecating.
The former sworn brothers are gradually estranged, and the old friends of the past are also gone.
The family of three, which should have been happy, was destroyed by his own hands, and the throne of the Celestial Dynasty was really as the master said, can't he sit still.
Alone, alone, widowed and lonely.
Xia Wuhou shook his head, smiling a little bitterly, the wine in this cup also made him look back on the past, and the wine that sat on the same wooden table was happy.
"Father, my son pours you wine. β
Xia Yuan held the wine jug in both hands and poured the wine glass in front of Xia Wuhou full of wine.
"Third brother, this dinner party is for the two juniors, but it has become our two old guys reminiscing about the past, which is really a bit undeserved. β
Xia Wuhou patted the shoulder of the Beiwu King, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both laughing and laughing.
However, smiling and smiling, there was a faint trace of tears in the corners of their eyes.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business, we can't let these two little ones see the joke. β
King Beiwu waved his hand, and then said with a straight face. "Yuan'er, Xiaolan, you two listen carefully, in the Celestial Empire, don't easily make enemies with the eldest prince, and don't act easily unless you have to. β
"He, back, lived up to our expectations. And at the same time, we don't want him to come back. β
Xia Wuhou's gaze was faint, and it became a little deep.
"Father, son-in-law dare to ask, who is back?"
The words between Xia Wuhou and the King of Northern Martial Arts made Xia Yuan hear it in a fog, and his heart was full of doubts.
Qin Lan was also very curious, and she listened attentively.
"He, he's my second brother, the second brother of King Beiwu, and the King of Xiwu of the Celestial Empire. β
When Xia Wuhou said this, he was a little understated, but his right hand holding the wine glass was bulging.
"Father, you and King Seibu are sworn brothers!"
Qin Lan's eyes widened, and she reached out to cover her slightly open lips, her eyes showing horror.
"Yes, we used to be good brothers, we could give each other's backs, not brothers, but better than brothers. It's just a thing of the past, so let it go with the wind. β
After King Beiwu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and stroked the hair behind Qin Lan.
"If King Xiwu doesn't come back, even if Xia Chun has the emperor behind him, I am naturally not afraid, but if they want to do it, they have to weigh it well. However, if King Seibu returns, he will break the situation of mutual checks and balances within the Celestial Empire. β
Xia Wuhou frowned, and suddenly a fierce momentum gushed out. In just one call, that momentum dissipated.
Xia Wuhou stretched his brows, and a cloud of sorrow condensed between his eyebrows.
"We have been secretly preparing for so many years, that is, to prevent trouble, this day has come. The Celestial Empire, which has been calm for a hundred years, is finally about to usher in a change. β
King Hokubu sighed and drank all the wine in his cup.
"Father, sons will remember their father's teachings. Under the same roof, the sons will definitely tolerate the eldest prince. β
Xia Yuan's eyes were stunned, Xia Wuhou said the secret of this paragraph, maybe his mother, An Sirong didn't know.
Behind everyone, there is an untold story, either singing or crying, or sad and lamentable.........
If you only see the surface and believe in the appearance, then you will not fall into the clichΓ© and be trapped in the inferiority.
"Father, rest assured, Xia Yuan and I will focus our main energy on cultivation, and we will live in a simple place to prepare for the Nine-Star Secret Realm, and we will also try our best to avoid the eldest prince. β
Qin Lanpu fanned her big eyes, she was very sensible, and stretched out her little hand to hold the Beiwu King tightly.
"Children, I have wronged you. β
One is the little prince of the Celestial Empire, and the other is the daughter of the Northern Prince's Mansion, whose status is respected, but it is for the two of them to endure and live under others for a long time when they are young.
Is it sad, yes, the sad people's hearts are unpredictable, and the way of heaven is good reincarnation.
It's a sigh, yes, it's a sigh that the weak eat the strong, and treat family affection as nothing.
The world is hot and cold, but the weather is cool and autumnal.
"Don't be wronged, even if my father doesn't say it, I won't provoke the eldest prince, because I don't know him well. β
Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, his immature face was smiling stupidly, and his appearance was very simple.
Looking at Xia Yuan, Qin Lan's eyes showed a trace of obsession, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was also a little silly.
"The emperor who has been wandering abroad will return to the Celestial Empire within half a month. For the Nine-Star Secret Realm, the emperor attaches great importance to it, Yuan'er, Xiaolan, that broken spear must not fall into the hands of Xia Chun and Qin Qianqian. β
Xia Wuhou suddenly turned straight and admonished.
"Xiaolan, Qin Qianqian, who has been reading by your side since she was a child, is no longer the lonely and kind-hearted little girl. β
The look between the eyebrows of the King of Beiwu was a little inexplicable.
"Qin Qianqian, this person is very weird, since she was in Yuanwutang, Erchen has had a delusion about her. β
Xia Yuan raised his eyes, two people who had never known each other, but there was an inexplicable familiar feeling lingering in his heart.
"Yes, father, it seems that since four years ago, I feel that Qianqian seems to have changed as a different person, acting in a coherent and fluent manner, very old-fashioned. β
How many days and nights has Qin Qianqian accompanied Qin Lan, and the two of them couldn't know each other better.
"Your feeling is right, Qin Qianqian's feeling to me and my eldest brother is very mysterious, we can't open it, you don't try to explore, I hope Qin Qianqian is just a passerby passing by the Celestial Empire." β
King Beiwu said earnestly. "In ancient times, there were some cultivators who cultivated to the heavens, and when their life spans were about to come to an end and they had not yet broken through the realm, they would choose to reincarnate and recultivate, but this kind of action against the heavens, the possibility of success was almost zero. β
"Father, do you mean that Qianqian may be the reincarnation of some ancient power?"
Qin Lan stood up suddenly, on her face, she couldn't hide the shock, and a monstrous wave was set off in her heart.
"Reincarnation, I also heard my mother talk about it when I was a child, but what my mother said was very vague, and I didn't know much about it. β
Xia Yuan's heart was also shocked beyond measure.
What Xia Yuan didn't say was that his second grandfather had cultivated a reincarnation body. tossed and turned in the rolling red dust, but did not succeed in awakening the memories of his past life.
reincarnated, he became a person in this world, and Xia Yuan's second grandfather died completely.
"I can't rule out this possibility, but how can this kind of reincarnation of a person who has cultivated to heaven appear in the lower realm, maybe we are worried about the sky. β
Xia Wuhou shook his head, this was just an idea.
True and false, but it's just a bold lie.
"The appearance of the Divine Vein Body, the Flawless and Unsullied Body, has also stirred up the changes in the entire Nether Realm. β
Xia Wuhou turned his head to look at the dark night outside the window, and his tiger eyes gradually became firm.
