Chapter 8: The Cage, and the Blood.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

Those who become emperors use heaven and earth as a chessboard and sentient beings as chess pieces.

"Xia Chun, he can't kill me. ”

Xia Yuan had this confidence in his heart, and before An Sirong left, he left a ring, and Xia Yuan could only recognize the Lord with blood after cultivating.

No matter what was in the ring, it was his reliance.

And a technique was deeply engraved in Xia Yuan's mind.

The reincarnation scriptures of the Ninth World were left by the Nine Shadows before leaving. Although only the upper volume is missing, the avenue of heaven and earth contained in the scriptures of the ninth reincarnation can't help but double Xia Yuan's confidence.

His calmness and calmness did not come out of thin air.

Maybe it's because of the relief of his character, or maybe it's because he saw the sword rain from the Yujiu Youdan, which was a shocking picture.

Xia Yuan can be fearless of all enemies.

"Don't take it lightly, half of the ministers in the court have supported the eldest prince, this is a force that should not be underestimated, in the face of them, even my father has to deal with it carefully, there are some things that cannot be suppressed by strong force. ”

Qin Lan and Xia Yuan walked out of the imperial hall side by side.

Not far from the emperor's palace, there is a lotus pond, in winter, the pond is not wide, there has been a layer of ice, like a transparent mirror, can reflect the scenery of the sky.

"No matter how powerful the force is, it is no match for the hearts of those who are in the heart of the world. This man's heart is separated from the belly, and no one knows whether it is true loyalty or hypocrisy. ”

In the wooden pavilion, the cold wind was whistling, a little cold, Xia Yuan held Qin Lan's hand tightly, and leaned sideways, blocking some of the cold wind that was blowing in his face.

"I am a man, born in heaven and earth, and if I live under people for a long time, I will not fail to live up to their expectations of me. ”

Xia Yuan clenched his small hand and said with a smile.

"Hmm. ”

Qin Lan looked at Xia Yuan beside him, and the autumn water in his eyes was fluctuating. She blushed and lowered her head shyly, looking like a little daughter.

The beautiful face is like the most beautiful flower bone in this winter.

"Every winter, it snows, and this winter is no longer the only one I see. ”

Qin Lan moved her steps and leaned in front of Xia Yuan, she was a little slender, she had just cultivated for a short time, and she couldn't resist the cold of this winter.

"Qin Lan, can you tell me something about cultivation. ”

Xia Yuan gave up his chest to Qin Lan, and he raised his eyes to look at the frozen pond, under the ice, from time to time, there were one or two small fish swimming.

Xia Yuan was in the cold palace, and he lived in a shallow way, and these were just common sense, he didn't ask, and no one mentioned it to him, so that he could solve his doubts.

"Good. ”

Qin Lan nodded, and at the same time squeezed into Xia Yuan's arms.

"Our cultivation realm is divided into three major realms: heaven, earth, and man, and below the three great realms, there are three small realms. ”

"The human hierarchy is divided into, Qi acceptance, Rongyuan, and Nirvana. The ground level is divided into, conjunction, god, and enlightenment. As for the Heavenly Rank, looking at the entire Nether Realm, there has not yet been a single Heavenly Rank cultivator. Each small realm is divided into four levels: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the consummation. ”

Qin Lan whispered very carefully, Xia Yuan's chest was very warm, and after leaning in, he couldn't feel the cold of this winter.

Qin Lan's mouth muttered comfortably, and then closed his eyes.

"Absorb qi, melt yuan, nirvana. In a hundred years, I have to break through these three small realms and reach the ground level in order to continue my lifespan. ”

Xia Yuan pinched his hands, and the faint fragrance that came from his arms was deeply inhaled into his mouth and nose, making him feel relaxed and happy.

"Qin Lan, you have been cultivating for a year, what realm have you reached now. ”

Xia Yuan's gaze was a little gloomy, and he asked softly.

"This year has been rain or shine, and under the strict supervision of my father, I am now in the middle of accepting energy. Xia Yuan, the eldest prince is older than us, although his cultivation physique is weaker than ours, but the realm seems to have reached the middle and late stages of accepting qi, and he is the descendant disciple of the emperor of the Celestial Empire, if not, in a few years, we will take the initiative to resign, leave the Celestial Empire, and go to travel the four seas. ”

The way of cultivation is to go against the sky, coupled with the unpredictability of the people, the eldest prince is deeply rooted in the Heavenly Empire, and Xia Yuan, who has just been favored, is not the opponent of the great prince.

Bright arrows are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and Qin Lan also made plans for the worst.

"If I blindly back down and can't satisfy the eldest prince, then I can only kill him. If I am afraid, then in this life, I will also lose. ”

Xia Yuan stared at it, this is not an invincible belief, it's just that he is not afraid, not afraid.

"My father said that the temples of the Celestial Empire are very chaotic, and although he is the Northern Wu King of the Celestial Empire, he doesn't care about anything in the court. The fish swim in the muddy waters, the dragon is trapped in the shallows, and this Celestial Empire is a little darker than we imagined. ”

Qin Lan stretched out his hands and hugged Xia Yuan's waist tightly, and the worry between his eyebrows was unobstructed.

"The Celestial Empire is not only an emperor, a Beiwu King, but also an emperor on it. ”

Xia Yuan let out a long breath from his mouth.

Qin Lan in his arms was soft and fragrant, Xia Yuan looked down, and the long eyelashes on Qin Lan's eyes were trembling.

The emperor is the teacher of the emperors of the Celestial Empire, and he has never held an official position in the Celestial Empire, but he has a respected status and is admired by everyone.

If it is seniority, the emperor can be above the emperor of the Celestial Empire.

"When my mother and I were in the Purple Moon Palace, although we were a little lonely, we lived happily. ”

In the Celestial Empire, it is far away from the chaos and competition of the temple, and the abandoned cold palace is not a pure land.

"Xia Yuan, do you miss your mother?"

Qin Lan raised her head and looked at Xia Yuan in a daze, with a pair of big smart eyes, like stars twinkling in the dark.

"It's been three years, and I've been missing it all the time. ”

Xia Yuan's smile was a little bitter, and he lowered his head and looked at Qin Lan.

The wooden pavilion in the snow, Xia Yuan, who was still a teenager, was not strong, he hugged Qin Lan tightly with both hands, and let the cold wind howl by, but also to protect the girl in his arms.

"How much do you know about the prison master. ”

Xia Yuan's words were very soft.

"I don't know much, but it was only from the words of my father that I knew that in the supreme years of the past, there was a man named the prison master. ”

Qin Lan shook her head and told Xia Yuan what she knew.

"My father, the King, once said that the nether realm in which we live is only a cage for those who have committed serious crimes. We, the Celestial Empire, are the descendants of the Prison Master. In ancient times, there was a decree that the prison master was a sinner, so what flowed in our bodies was the blood of sin. ”

"You can't cross the bounded sea, you can't do without the nether. ”

After Qin Lan finished speaking, he arched in Xia Yuan's arms, found the most comfortable place, and closed his eyes.

"The master of the prison is a sinner, and we have the blood of sin in our veins, so we should enjoy this sin and punishment in the lower realm. ”

The name of the prison master, Yu Jiuyou once mentioned it in the letter, but it was only a few lines, but it made Xia Yuan remember it in his heart.

And what Qin Lan said was contrary to what Yu Jiuyou said, which couldn't help but make Xia Yuan wonder in his heart.

"The prison master has fallen to the Nether, and the Prison Master left behind the divine treasure in the Nether Realm is very important to your father, and it can be said that it is inevitable. ”

Qin Lan said.

"So, the broken spear that my father asked us to go to the Nine Stars Secret Realm to find is the weapon used by the prison master when he was alive?"

Xia Yuan's fingers gently swept over the three thousand green silks behind Qin Lan, and his gaze became deeper.

"No, the prison master's weapon is not a spear, but a soul lamp, and as for why your father wanted to get that broken spear, perhaps only he knows. ”

Qin Lan shook her head and muttered softly.

From ancient times to the present, in the history of the Celestial Empire, even if you look through the ancient books, there is no record of that spear.

The mysterious origin is also the target of some people's coveting.

"It's a bit snowy outside, let's go back. Now that we know what kind of physique I have, it's time to hurry up and cultivate, we can't be too different from the eldest prince. ”

If Xia Yuan wanted to survive in the temples of the Celestial Empire, he could only be fearless if he cultivated hard and strengthened his body.

This striking iron also needs to be hard.

The eldest prince who stepped into cultivation first was too much higher than them in the realm.

"Well, I won't go back to the Beiwu Palace, I'll be by your side and practice with you. ”

Qin Lan's face left Xia Yuan's chest, and she stood in the wooden pavilion, smiling very shyly.

"Let's go. ”

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand, held Qin Lan, and left the wooden pavilion in the falling snow.

"Xia Yuan, there is one person who may be more of a threat to you than the Great Prince. ”

When he was about to walk to the gate of the Imperial Palace, Qin Lan suddenly paused, and his expression became a little solemn.

"Who?"

Xia Yuan turned around and said puzzled.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

Looking at the Celestial Empire, only the eldest prince who values royal power is Xia Yuan's biggest enemy.

"West, Wu, Wang!"

Qin Lan frowned and said a name word by word.

"Didn't King Seibu die, five years ago, after a battle with the deputy hall master of the Confessional Palace, he returned from his wounds, and a month later he was seriously injured and died in the Seibu Palace, at that time, my mother and I also went to his funeral. ”

Xia Yuan frowned, this was a dead person, looking at Qin Lan with a solemn expression, Xia Yuan's heart highlighted a trace of something wrong.

"King Seibu didn't die, he just faked his death to hide people's eyes, maybe he is more powerful now than before. ”

Qin Lan's tone was gloomy.

"Fake death? King Xiwu is afraid that at the last moment of the breakthrough, he asked Cangdian to come to seek revenge. ”

Xia Yuan exclaimed. King Seibu is both good and evil, but he is known for protecting his shortcomings, and the eldest prince is the only nephew of King Seibu.

Five years ago, the eldest prince killed the grandson of an elder of the Wencang Palace, which made the Wencang Palace furious, and the three elders who were at the peak of the human rank arrested the eldest prince for questioning.

When King Xiwu heard this, he didn't say a word, so he led someone to kill the Wencang Palace, and brought back the eldest prince in the blood bathed in blood.

This move provoked the deputy hall master of the Cangdian to go out of the customs to chase and kill, and the two of them also had a big battle on the Valley of the Fallen Gods.

"King Seibu is not dead. ”

Xia Yuan's heart also sank to the bottom, and he was alone, how lonely he seemed at this moment.

A man who should have died, but he is still alive in this world.

"Xia Yuan, as long as you work hard to cultivate and let your father know that you are the future of the Celestial Empire, your father will fall in love with you. With thy father and my father, even if they want to move thee, they must weigh it in their hearts. ”

Qin Lan suddenly swept away her solemn expression, and she bent her eyebrows and smiled, holding Xia Yuan's hand tightly.

"Besides, after a few years, King Seibu has never shown up, maybe he has already died, or not necessarily. ”

Qin Lan's smile was like a flower, and she jumped up and down and pulled Xia Yuan into the imperial hall.

"Yes, why bother yourself with a person who is still alive. It's just that the sword rain that grandpa danced on the hanging cliff, in the lower realm, no one can do it. ”

Looking at Qin Lan, who was pulling him tightly, Xia Yuan touched the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth also laughed.
