Starting from the south of the city to walking all the way along the central axis, you will pass through the palace gate in the city before entering the temple, and the star saint has come to the palace gate early to wait.

"Huh......" Gao Chengchuan's eyes moved, and he saw the black cat on the shoulder of the Star Saintess jumping down, bowing to Prince Mingxi in the appearance of a human, and then said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty has been waiting for the prince at the top of the temple for a long time, please Governor Gao stay here, Your Majesty has sent a special envoy to greet you." ”

"Special envoy?" Prince Mingxi bowed his head in surprise, turned over and dismounted, the Star Saintess quietly moved to the side, and the dead wood's hand stretched out from under the wide robe and pointed to the vast temple base behind him, with a chilling chill in his smile, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please-"

Prince Mingxi quietly turned the jade wrench in his hand, the base of the temple is very wide, nearly a thousand meters from east to west, but at this time, the forbidden army guarding here is very small, and even Gao Chengchuan was blocked at the palace gate by the Star Saintess, what kind of big man is this who can't see people?

He looked up and looked up, and as far as his eyes could see, there was the golden light that divided the temple in two, and the upward view would be blocked by a special spiritual power, and the location of this line was called the "Holy Terrace", which was a place to receive important ministers and guests.

In the center of the base is a mechanical ladder made by the Ordnance Department, which can be used to reach the Holy Altar, and to continue up, you need the mechanical cloud bird at the top to pick it up.

"Hmph. Prince Mingxi sneered silently and strode forward, and the soldiers at the base opened the door of the palace for him, but he didn't dare to follow up.

The mechanical ladder in the center has been prepared for a long time, a strange man stood on the ladder, and the moment he saw Prince Mingxi, he smiled quietly, politely put his hand on his chest, bowed his head, and then bowed slightly.

"Are you the envoy of your father?" Prince Mingxi's face changed suddenly, and the special perception of the royal family keenly captured the inexplicable flame aura on the man in front of him at this moment, and even the jade wrench on his thumb trembled slightly, and the man on the ladder chuckled, signaling His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come up first, and then continued, "I was indeed invited by His Majesty to wait for you here, after all, it takes more than half an hour for this kind of mechanical ladder to rise normally, but you can't make Your Majesty wait so long, don't you say?"

"Can you make it abnormal?" Prince Mingxi calmly walked up the ladder, after approaching, he suddenly found that this man's eyes had an imperceptible fire, he quietly and habitually pulled the handrail, the other party nodded, put a hand on the iron cable used to pull the ladder next to him, and suddenly the fire-colored spiritual power jumped out from his fingers, and then the tongue of fire climbed all the way along the iron cable, without waiting for the prince to react, his other hand gently buckled Mingxi's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness stands firm." ”

As soon as the words fell, the ladder began to climb rapidly, and those firelights seemed to have life, surrounding the entire ladder in the middle, holding it up like flying!

Prince Mingxi stabilized his shock, and his fingertips lightly touched the flame beside him - it was cold, although it seemed to be burning vigorously, but this flame was cold!

Breath of the Phoenix!

Prince Mingxi gritted his teeth hard, his father's envoy turned out to be a member of the Lingfeng Clan! His mind spun quickly, and he quickly remembered that when Gongsun Yan used the deputy instrument of the Eight Desolation Glaze Si Xingyi to peep into the Star Palace, he had seen the Star Saintess leading a stranger, and it was this person who opened the ancient sea demon seal written by Feng Ji, which caused the tsunami incident in the North Shore City, causing 100,000 people to die in the sea!

"It's you......" Thinking of this, Prince Mingxi gasped, and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, he was dressed in a striking red silk brocade robe, his face was good, he couldn't see his age, between his eyebrows was the indifferent tranquility of the wind and rain, and there was a vague hidden strange meaning that he couldn't understand, the man couldn't help nodding, as if he had already guessed what His Royal Highness the Prince wanted to say, but he took the initiative to introduce himself, "I should be meeting His Royal Highness for the first time, right? My name is Feng Jiuqing, and I am Feng Ji and ...... Yun Xiao's father, who has admired His Royal Highness's name for a long time, is really extraordinary when he sees it today. ”

"Feng Ji and Yun Xiao ......" Prince Mingxi muttered his words silently, he had no reason to introduce himself like this, he obviously deliberately mentioned the names of these two people!

"Your Highness has a bit of a thermometer's shadow. Feng Jiuqing saw that he lost his mind, and slowly said word by word, "It is said that it is a blessing for a son to look like his mother, and it seems that His Royal Highness will also be a blessed person in the future." ”

"Hmm, oh......" Prince Mingxi didn't know how to answer for a while, this person, so scheming, seemed to be just chattering casually, but in fact he was clearly testing himself, otherwise he would not have said these names he cared about the most so easily, especially his mother, Empress Wenyi.

"Hehe......" Feng Jiuqing smiled lowly, as if the trick had succeeded, Prince Mingxi's voice was cold, and his eyebrows were low, "You are the Spirit Phoenix Clan who unlocked the seal of the Sea Demon Cang Shark in the first place, I'm really curious, you, no, it should be you, what is the purpose of what you are doing this?"

"Wouldn't it be good for you to ask Your Majesty yourself about this kind of trivial matter?" Feng Jiuqing didn't answer, the smile on his face made the prince a little fascinated for a while, only to hear his lips move, and then led the topic back, "I and the former queen can barely be regarded as old friends, isn't Your Highness not interested in the affairs of the former queen at all?

"Is your words credible?" Prince Mingxi was still calm, such a reply made Feng Jiuqing stunned for a moment, and then stiffly squeezed out a smile, "That's right, from a certain point of view, I am the opposite of you, then you can take it as my own talk, you can listen if you want to listen, if you don't want to listen, you can block your ears." ”

This time Prince Mingxi didn't speak, Feng Jiuqing cleared his throat, he held his chin and thought seriously for a while, and then said slowly: "The Lingfeng clan originally lived on the Feiyuan, and got the fire of the immortal bird ten thousand years ago, and became the 'immortal' clan, if it is calculated according to the history of the Feiyuan, it is the Lingfeng clan in the front, and the forbidden land god in the back, but I was not born when your mother was pointed out as the god guard, and she is indeed my elder if you calculate carefully, although it may not be far behind." ”

"The first time I saw her was on the Weeping Snow Plateau, because the Lingfeng clan was born with a hot body, so the clan also gave priority to the cold snow glaciers for life, at first there was no so-called god guard, because of the cold climate, the terrain is dangerous, and then the heavenly god of war Emperor Zhong passed by Zhen Island, and selected seven people as guardians in the seven most dangerous places on the island, these seven people were later called 'god guards', which continue to this day. ”

"Seven people?" Prince Mingxi seemed to have been aroused, the corners of Feng Jiuqing's mouth inadvertently rose, and explained, "It doesn't seem right to say this, the correct way to say it is - some of them used to be human, such as your queen mother Wen Yi, she was an ordinary human before she became a god guard, and she was not even of an alien race. ”

"Queen Mother...... Was it once a human being?" Prince Mingxi's eyes flickered, and he almost couldn't believe what Feng Jiuqing said, his body had been weak and sickly since he was a child, and the imperial doctors all said that it was due to the special physique of the queen mother, because she was a forbidden land god guard, and she was a special alien!

"Well, but only once. Feng Jiuqing silently added, "No matter what kind of person she was before, after becoming a god guard under the guidance of Emperor Zhong, she can't be regarded as a human being, after all, no one can live for thousands of years, right?"

Feng Jiuqing secretly observed the slight change in the prince's expression, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips: "That Chinese New Year's Eve, Lord Wang has not yet come to Zhen Island, the humans and aliens on the island are still in harmony, the royal family has absolute authority, and it is indeed very wise to rule the entire flow island, frankly speaking, until that time, even the powerful Spirit Phoenix Clan will not openly oppose the royal family, because as rulers, they are undoubtedly very good." ”

"The gods of the forbidden land will not actually take the initiative to intersect with the royal family, they are just adhering to the orders of the god of war Emperor Zhong, and they have been dutifully guarding the forbidden places where they are located, and the special position of the god guard is very lonely. "Sogou Library

"This may be the reason why Wen Yi is willing to befriend the Lingfeng Clan......" Feng Jiuqing's tone suddenly changed, Prince Mingxi was a little puzzled, and smiled mysteriously when he saw him, "When Zhendao had not yet fallen into the sky, although the lives of humans and aliens were much longer than now, but in addition to the gods, only the Lingfeng Clan could maintain immortality, think about it, if the friends around you grow old and die one after another, repeating such things again and again indefinitely, how cruel would it be?" Therefore, she is reluctant to associate with other people, because everyone will pass away before her, and the life of the god keeper is eternal, and as long as the heavenly realm is still there, the god guard will not die. ”

"When I met her, she was taking care of a small water-red flower in the snowfield...... Feng Jiuqing paused, and a familiar figure flashed in front of him, which made his thoughts suddenly wander for a moment, and then he shook his head and shook off these, and continued, "I still don't know what kind of flower it is, blooming on the cold snowfield, but the flower itself is very fragile, if there is wind and snow, the flower will die, Wen Yi used her spiritual power to form an enchantment, she protected the flower inside, and took care of it very carefully." ”

"I told her that this insignificant flower was not worth taking care of, but she told me that it was the only red color in the snowfield. ”

"Huh...... Wen Yi is really a very peculiar woman, and it is no wonder that His Majesty is so affectionate to her. Feng Jiuqing sneered inexplicably, but his expression made Prince Mingxi a little unhappy, and retorted, "The queen mother has always been a very kind person......

"Will a kind person commit suicide in front of his own child?" Feng Jiuqing questioned without hesitation, and Prince Mingxi, who asked, was speechless, "His Royal Highness was only ten years old that year, right? For a ten-year-old child, what kind of behavior is it for a mother to commit suicide in front of him? If this child does not have a strong psychological capacity, it is normal for this child to collapse directly and become a waste, right?"

Prince Mingxi was in a trance, and remembered the harmonious relationship between the emperor and queen in those years, like a fairy couple, she took herself to play in the courtyard, and her smile was as gentle and beautiful as ever.

The next moment, blood gushed out from his heart, and the red spread out in front of the prince's eyes like a flood, making his face suddenly pale, and he closed his eyes and bit his lip hard—the queen mother did not care that her son was only a ten-year-old child, and even deliberately stabbed herself in the chest with a sharp dagger in front of him.

The queen mother is the god keeper of the forbidden land, and she has obtained the special spiritual power of the heavenly realm, and she has the same life as heaven and earth, but at that moment, she fell down like an ordinary person, and her life passed in an instant.

She chose to commit suicide, ruined the blessing of eternal life on her body, gave up the insistence of the gods, and died like a real ordinary person.

"Wen Yi is also a ruthless person......" Feng Jiuqing's whisper sounded in his ears like a thunderbolt, and Prince Mingxi suddenly came back to his senses, completely unaware that he had been sweating profusely in this short period of seconds.

"But she had a lot of compulsions. Feng Jiuqing continued to sigh and shook her head slightly, "Just like the breath of the spirit phoenix, this kind of immortality is both a blessing and a curse, the blessing of the heavenly realm is a kind of shackle, and the god guard cannot reveal anything that is unfavorable to the heavenly realm, even if the former god of war Emperor Zhong is no longer there, this kind of shackles engraved in her bones will not disappear, so she knows that the night king that His Majesty dreams of flying will attract will bring real destruction to the current flying wall, but she ...... I can't say it explicitly, hey, it's also bitter. ”

"......" Prince Mingxi clenched his fists hard, his brain was in a mess, and he could hardly think normally.

So she chose another extreme way, as a mother, she cruelly ended her life in front of her son, in order to arouse her son's anger and make him choose to fight. Feng Jiuqing gently stretched out her hand and wiped away the cold sweat that kept pouring out of the prince's forehead, and there was a rare touch in her heart, "This is a desperate gamble, if you win the bet, the father and son kill each other, and if you lose the bet, your son may waste his life, no matter how it is a gamble, it is a gamble that loses money, but she still did it." ”

"Sure enough, women are the most terrifying creatures in the world...... Feng Jiuqing pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, thinking of her wife and the eldest princess Mingyu.

Prince Mingxi exhaled a breath, and at this moment, he seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face.

His mother's death did arouse his anger, so that he secretly established the wind demon, and then finally investigated his father's purpose, and traced the "Flying Heaven" and "Four Realms Separation" plan, it turned out that all this was calculated by his mother, and she actually used her son's love to protect this homeland under her feet!

Is Feiyuan really important? Although he swore that his promise was to protect Feiyuan when he wooed Xiao Qianye and even Feng Ji, but in fact, he just wanted a truth, and wanted revenge on the father who forced his mother to death on the throne!

He is not a person who understands righteousness in everything, he has always been a scheming and ruthless person, even if it is his own sister Lan Xin, he can get rid of it without blinking.

"Mingxi ......" In a trance, a familiar voice was anxiously whispering his name, and the prince looked at the jade wrench in his hand in a daze, and the soul inside was affected by his emotions and swam uneasily.

"Oh...... This thing. Feng Jiuqing had obviously noticed that there was something strange hiding beside him a long time ago, and finally followed the prince's gaze to find the imperceptible soul, but he didn't say it explicitly, but looked into the distance expectantly, and muttered to himself, "They should be there soon, right?" Your Highness, if you can leave Tianyu City safely this time, he will definitely have a day to make a comeback, but if he dies today...... Oh, I can only say that this is the flying wall, the final end of Zhen Island. ”

Feng Jiuqing had something to say, and at this time, the cloud ladder suddenly stopped, and after the fire dissipated, the two of them had already come to the middle holy platform.

The shrine was empty, and on the mirrored floor tiles, there was a slight flow of spiritual power similar to water waves, as if it could stop time.

"Further up, please go alone, the mechanical cloud bird has already come to pick you up. Feng Jiuqing took a few steps back, and on the platform behind him, a black gold mechanical bird spread its wings, and its body opened from the side to reveal its hollow belly.

"Oh? did he allow me to go up? huh...... Just what the doctor ordered. Prince Mingxi sneered and strode forward, the top of the temple was only allowed to enter by the emperors of the past dynasties, even if he was already a prince, he had never been allowed to enter there.

"Your Royal Highness......" Feng Jiuqing whispered at the moment when she passed by him, "Empress Wenyi is still alive, please ...... Always be careful. ”

These words exploded in Mingxi's heart like a thunderbolt, his eyes widened, and his golden pupils couldn't help but tremble in shock.

However, Feng Jiuqing had already turned his back and looked into the distance, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
