Chapter 268: The Fool's Endgame (5)
"Looking at the way you are now, I am willing to believe that the conscience in your heart has not been completely extinguished. ”
Wang Zhiyu was awakened from his state of distraction, and looked towards the place where the voice came from, and a familiar and unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared beside Lingxi. No one noticed when he appeared, not even a trace of him, and the figure stood as if he had been born there.
"You are..."
"Long time no see, brother. The figure laughed, "The pain you felt when you pierced my shoulder with your sword is still so clear, as if it was just yesterday. ”
The figure is Wang Shi, who has been by Lingxi's side, that is, Wang Zhiyu's younger brother who he thought he had killed with his own hands - Wang Zhilian.
"After so many years, I can't help but wonder, what kind of expression will my brother face me when I say goodbye, with guilt, shock, or regret?" Wang Shi was still the immortal wind and bone that Su Mu was familiar with, but only a person like Lingxi, who had relied on each other for many years, could hear the slight fluctuations in his tone.
On the day of the reunion, Lingxi and Wang Shi had waited too long. The difference is that Lingxi has long been dead to Liu Dingrui, and at this time there is only resentment and hatred, while the relationship between Wang Shi and Wang Zhiyu is more complicated.
His own brother has always regarded himself as his biggest competitor, and Wang Shi knows about this, but he has never cared about it. On the one hand, because he didn't feel that his brothers would be separated by this sense of competition, and on the other hand, he had absolute confidence in his own natural strength, and Wang Shi never felt that his brother would be able to be equal to him one day.
Perhaps it was this sense of superiority engraved in the bones that led the two brothers to finally come to this day.
"Brother, your strength has grown a lot. Wang Shi said, "I didn't expect that without me blazing a trail ahead, you would be able to walk out of a path with your own strength." ”
Wang Zhiyu's expression slowly calmed down from the initial shock, and the coldness in his eyes rose little by little.
"This superior attitude is what I have always seen you unhappy with. Wang Zhiyu replied coldly, "I don't know how you crawled out of the abyss of the Remnant Sun Ridge, but you shouldn't have come back, you shouldn't have appeared here." ”
"I don't understand what my brother means, I am the legitimate successor of the palace guards, and the eldest princess should also be the one who sits on the throne, we are just here to get back what belongs to us, what's wrong?"
"So you're also involved in today's events?" Liu Changxi suddenly interrupted. Bashan loves
"His Royal Highness the Prince. Wang Shi turned around and responded, "You are too worried, the matter of the Zuo Xiang's rebellion is purely a personal act, and we are not involved. The left minister plotted for the throne, which was a rebellion, and the eldest princess took back the throne, which was to straighten out. ”
"What is right, and why should it be supported? The long river of history has always been forward, how can there be a reason to retreat?" Liu Changxi said with a straight face, "Even if my father really made a mistake for the throne back then, but since ancient times, the change of dynasty has been accompanied by blood and sacrifice, and if Emperor Taizu is like this, what is the real right?"
"You're right. Lingxi's tone was cold, and he directly interrupted Liu Changxi's words, "The change of dynasty is accompanied by blood and sacrifice, so I don't plan to reason with you." I'm here just to tell you one thing. ”
"One thing?" Liu Changxi was a little stunned, not knowing what kind of medicine his imperial aunt was selling in the gourd.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still young, and it has only been three years since he was canonized as the crown prince, so he must have not been to the Xuanling Pavilion to accept the inheritance of the ancestral heir, right?" Wang Shi said calmly, although there were only two people on the scene between him and Lingxi, but the momentum exuded by Wang Shi almost suppressed Wang Zhiyu in the transcendent realm, and he knew that he was not a good stubble. Now the forces of all sides have suffered heavy losses, and no one dares to act rashly, and they were shocked by the two of them for a while.
"Xuanling Pavilion is only eligible to go until the succession is confirmed, and this king is still young, so of course he has not been there. ”
"It's very interesting that the eldest princess was the same age as you, but she had been designated as the heir to the throne by the first emperor on the sickbed, and she had been to the Xuanling Pavilion, so she naturally knew the secrets of the Tunan royal family in the Xuanling Pavilion. Wang Shi paused, glanced meaningfully at Liu Dingrui, who was still unconscious next to the dragon chair, and then said, "That is, the secret of the dragon vein of Tunan." ”
"Emperor Taizu was born in a reckless manner, and he finally seized the unification by a civil uprising, but it was not only the people's will, but the most important reason was that he signed a twin contract with the divine beast Ruiqi in the mountains. One is prosperous, and one is lost. Emperor Taizu Ruiqi's power was added to his body, and he cultivated to the realm of transformation, and Ruiqi, as the guardian beast of Tunan, accepted the love and sacrifice of all the people of Tunan, including Emperor Taizu. ”
"Ruiqi is a divine beast that has been cultivated in the mountains for thousands of years, and has the divine power to gather dragon veins. The love of the people nourishes Ruiqi, who awakens the sleeping dragon veins in the mountains and gathers them to the land of Tunan, and the dragon veins ensure the safety of Tunan, and the pure heaven and earth qi it exudes is of great benefit to those who cultivate martial arts. Under the protection of Ruiqi, the wind and rain in Tunan were smooth, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, making it the first power in the mainland at that time. It was also from that time that the flourishing era of martial arts in Tunan, which lasted for thousands of years, officially began. ”
"But unfortunately, the absolute power made Emperor Taizu lose himself. He unilaterally tore up the contract with Ruiqi, invited a feng shui master, and by transforming the layout of Luojing Market, he led the dragon veins that converged to the suburbs of the city to worship Ruiqi into the Luojing Palace, preparing to enjoy the power of the dragon veins exclusively, so as to achieve a real sense of harmony with heaven and earth, symbiosis between the sun and the moon, cut through the five elements, and transcend the mortal world. ”
"Emperor Taizu's actions angered Ruiqi, but the pure nature of the divine beast was unwilling to anger the innocent people of the entire Tunan because of Emperor Taizu's one-man rebellion, so it did not seize Tunan's dragon vein, but only put a curse on the Tunan royal family, a curse that lasted for thousands of years. ”
"The Tu Nan royal family, whether male or female, will not be able to obtain the nourishment of the dragon veins throughout their lives, and their meridians will not be able to pass through any true qi, and there is no possibility of practicing martial arts. ”
"For Emperor Taizu, who is bent on creating a foundation for all generations, this is tantamount to the biggest blow. The dragon vein of Tu Nan is at the foot of Luo Jing, but it is always Tu Nan's people who are blessed, not the royal family itself. The Emperor is the ruler of Tunan, but he is the only person in the entire Tunan who does not enjoy the energy of the dragon vein. ”
