Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 8 Retrospective (6)
Chaosheng returned to the Agarwood Palace, which was her dormitory. It's still so cold and boring. She looked calm, and sat casually on the stone steps in front of the temple, silent.
After a long time, she disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, she had reached a snow-capped mountain.
In a cave made of ice, there is an ice coffin. Next to the ice coffin was a beautifully carved lantern, and the candle flame flickered and flickered, and the light was faint, as if it was about to be completely extinguished in the next moment.
She looked at the person in the ice coffin, opened her lips and said:
"Long time no see. ”
No one answered, and Chao Sheng sighed lightly with a hint of mockery, "I can fulfill the wishes of so many people, but who will fulfill my wishes? If you are a mortal, you still have a living soul." But now, Biluo Yellow Spring is nowhere to be found. ”
"There are some things that really can't be done at all. ”
"The dead are long gone, and the living are unsettled. ”
The tone was extremely calm, without a trace of ripples, but in the end there was still a little helplessness.
Before leaving, Chao Sheng glanced back at the everlasting lamp, sighed, and was nowhere to be seen.
When Zhao Yuanxi found Qi Mo, Qi Mo was writing. Gentle and humble but silent, this is the impression that Silence gives to everyone. The picturesque young man was extremely serious, and the white clothes added to his demeanor.
Qi Mo is the steward of the Changming Palace, and his status is equal to that of Xin Yi. The former deals with official affairs, while the latter manages the affairs of the palace. Both of them are relatively calm, although they don't like to talk, but they answer all questions and have excellent personalities.
"Mr. Murmur. ”
Ji Mo stopped writing, "It's good for Childe to call me Ji Mo." ”
"I have something to ask you. Zhao Yuanyu said.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"How old are you this year?" Zhao Yuanyu looked at Qi Mo, who looked about the same age as himself, and said casually.
"About 600 years old. I can't remember exactly how old I was. "It's been a long time ago, after all.
Zhao Yuanxi was a little shocked, but thinking about the longevity of most of the immortals, he also felt that it was nothing.
"That'...... What about the Divine Monarch?" Zhao Yuanxi asked again.
"This ......" Qi Mo was a little embarrassed, not that he didn't want to say it, but that he didn't know.
"When I came to the Changming Palace, the king was already there. According to the records of the "Chronicles of the Changming Palace", the monarch inherited the position of the previous god monarch a thousand years ago and became the current god monarch. As for her age, I really don't know. ”
"A thousand years?"
"That's right, in fourteen days, exactly a thousand years. At that time, it will be the ceremony of the 1,000th year of the king's succession, and many guests will come to celebrate or congratulate. ”
Zhao Yuanxi was really shocked. Did she live that long?
For him, half of her life is just a few days for her.
Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi was thoughtful, he said silently: "Childe's attitude towards the king today...... It's a bit over-the-top ......."
Zhao Yuanxi didn't say a word, and listened to him continue.
"To be honest, I'm shocked that Childe can still speak. In the past, anyone who angered the king with words was afraid that he would not be able to speak in this life. If it is more excessive, it will be sent directly to the underworld and reincarnation. Childe is an exception. ”
Zhao Yuanxi was a little incredulous, "She's very murderous?"
"In the early years, the king was indeed not very good-tempered, but it was others who provoked the king first. Later, the king was always alone, and gradually no one dared to provoke him, so this situation was naturally less. In the final analysis, the king is just happy and quiet. ”
Zhao Yuanxi nodded. Generally, at the level of this kind of boss, who hasn't had a temper.
"That'...... What's her name?"
"Your Excellency?" Qi Mo was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he confirmed it.
"For so long, the Changming Palace has welcomed many people, immortals, demons and spirits, and almost no one dares to ask the name of the king. First, I really don't have the guts, and second, it's unnecessary. To tell the truth, I only know that the king is titled Yuhuo, and everyone respects the Yuhuo God King. After the two worlds of immortals merged, it was called the heavenly realm. Because she is not subordinate to the heavenly realm, she is not called Yuanjun, but only Shenjun. ”
"What do you mean by not being subordinate to the Heavenly Realm?"
Qi Mo chuckled, "Changming Palace's change of life against the sky is already against the way of heaven, how can it be a vassal to the heavenly realm." It can only be said that it is just a containment of one or two. But with the temperament of the king, he will naturally not be controlled by others. Besides, the matter of the Changming Palace was originally the acquiescence of the heavenly realm. ”
"Why acquiesce?"
"There are so many things that are impermanent, and slowly they become commonplace. If you do too many things that go against the way of heaven, it will slowly become the way of heaven. Everyone says that the world is impermanent, and this is not a kind of permanence. In the final analysis, everything that exists in the world is the defender of the Heavenly Dao, but the methods are different. ”
"I see. Immortals really see through the way of heaven. Zhao Yuanxi just felt that he had become a person who saw through the red dust and devoted himself to cultivation overnight, and he was forced.
"Each has its own obsessions, how can it be easily seen through. There was helplessness in his tone.
"Childe will talk to the king in the future, but he should pay attention to proportion, so as not to incur unwarranted disasters. ”
Zhao Yuanxi also chuckled, "I'm not afraid of death." ”
Ji Mo shook his head slightly, he was still too young.
"I would like to advise the son again, and if you come, you will be safe. The way down the mountain is invisible to mortals and can't be found with the naked eye, so Childe shouldn't think about leaving. Even if the prince leaves, the king will easily find the child, so I hope that the prince will stay here with peace of mind. ”
Zhao Yuanxi did not answer.
