Chapter 25: The Opponent
The stream wind, looking at its name, you can know its beauty.
Compared with the Valley Empire, which is adjacent to the forbidden places of the Cold Valley in the north, and the Qingluan Empire, which is bounded by the Dengtian Mountain Range in the south, and more than half of the territory is mountains and hills, this prosperous empire not only does not have any extremely harsh natural environment, but has a pleasant climate, four distinct seasons, and countless famous mountains and scenic spots, which can be called the land of Zhong Lingyuxiu.
It is common sense that there are many prosperous scenery in the stream and many tourists in the prosperous scenery.
However, although there are two places in Xifeng that are famous all over the world, their fame has nothing to do with popularity, and on the contrary, there are very few people who can really see the true face of Lushan.
The river with the largest stream wind is called Canglan River, and its source is Canglan Mountain. Canglan Mountain is located in the extreme north of Xifeng, the mountain is steep, and the altitude is also the most famous mountain in Xifeng, but it is rare to have pleasant scenery. However, the reason why it is famous is not because of its high and steep beauty, but because it is the mountain where the Emperor of the Brook Wind prays to the sky, which has been the case since the Brook Wind Empire for thousands of years, representing the authority of the Brook Wind. Those who know the stream wind must know this mountain, and Canglan Mountain represents the majesty of the stream wind to a certain extent, which is the main reason why it is famous all over the world.
Located in the north of the imperial city, Weisong Mountain, the mountain is not steep, the altitude is not high, and the scenery is not how beautiful, but it is known as the fairy mountain. Because every morning, there will be colorful lights on the top of the mountain, which looks particularly gorgeous and magnificent from a distance, as if the gods are in the world. However, this is only one of the reasons why it is famous all over the world, because it also has another identity, the place where the tombs of the emperors after their deaths are placed, in short, the tombs of the emperors.
There is a temple on Weisong Mountain, the name is Xiuxian, take self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and achieve the meaning of the sage and benevolence, only a few people in the royal family can enter, and there are only a few people in the whole world who can enter it.
The temple looks very simple and ancient, the outer walls are only repaired by ivory jade, there is no exquisite pattern carving, nor beautiful jade glazed decoration, it is very rough, it is really not worthy of the title of the temple of a country. However, this is only the surface. The seemingly ordinary ivory-colored jade, with its regular texture and clear color, is definitely not inferior to the material of the building materials of the Heavenly Oracle Palace. This is where the vision of God's blessing comes from the morning. Moreover, this simple jade that does not show mountains and water, although it is not particularly gorgeous and exquisite, it is very commensurate with the atmosphere of the temple, and it adds a bit of solemnity and solemnity.
The buildings in the temple are scattered, from scattered around a tall palace, like guards and seem to show dignity and order.
The tall palace is also made of ivory-colored jade, and the walls are carved with frescoes or allusions to scriptures.
The hall opens nine doors, and the dragon shadow is engraved on the door. There is a plaque on the main entrance, saying that Qi Xian introspects. Taken from 'see the virtuous and think together, see the unvirtuous and introspect introspectively'.
The tall palace is divided into two floors, one is located above the ground, dedicated to the emperors of Xifeng for future generations to mourn, and the other is located underground, in which the Xifeng territory is carved with jade.
It was a white jade-colored room supported by a pillar of optimus jade, and the floor of the room was all paved with smooth jade of various colors, and the textures of various colors followed a certain pattern to extend in all directions, forming a picture of mountains, rivers and mountains. If you look closely, you will find that this smooth mirror-like, dust-free ground constitutes a huge territory of the Brook Wind Empire.
Mountains, rivers and mountains, city buildings...... From a nine-dragon relief case in the room, it stretches in all directions, as if endless, endless. The jade pillar is carved with complex and vivid flowers, insects and birds, lifelike, but the highest carved one is only five feet high. Further up is the blue sky and white sun, white clouds and bright moon. If someone is here and stands up, it will be as if he is stepping on mountains and rivers and looking down from the sky, and everything in the world is under his feet.
And now, Xiao Wutian, the Emperor of the Creek Breeze, is sitting in front of the Nine Dragons relief bookcase, calmly looking at the world, and all things stretch around him. If he wants, he only needs to stand up, and the whole river and mountains can be seen in the stream. It has been a thousand years since the establishment of the Xifeng Empire, and the total population is as many as hundreds of millions, looking at the entire secular world, it is the most prosperous and powerful empire, and he is the emperor of this huge empire, the master of all this.
The emperor and queen night Yuhan wearing a lilac Luo skirt slowly descended from the jade steps. As the most noble woman in this huge empire, Ye Yuhan was not amazing, but she has a quiet and elegant temperament, although she is not majestic, but she is like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world, out of the dust, so beautiful that people can't look at it directly.
"Emperor, why are you here again?" Slowly walking to the bookcase, Ye Yuhan frowned lightly and asked softly.
Since Xiao Feng quietly left the Imperial City three years ago, Xiao Wutian has been coming here more and more often. Of course, Ye Yuhan will not be dissatisfied because of this, but as a pillow person, how can she not notice Xiao Wutian's little change? The original indifference and peace gradually disappeared, and her personality became more and more irritable and suspicious, more and more gloomy, and her desire to control became stronger and stronger. If it weren't for Xiao Wutian's unchanging tenderness for her, she would almost not recognize this man.
The ancestors built Xiuxian Temple with the original intention of tempering future generations, warning and reminding future generations that the mountains and rivers are vast, and the people of the world are my people, so the governance of the country and the country must not be taken lightly, and must be diligent and love the people. But Ye Yuhan felt that the man he loved deeply seemed to have fallen into a dead knot and fallen into a magic barrier.
"Yuhan, do you know that there is news of Feng'er from the dark guard today. Xiao Wutian took Ye Yuhan into his arms and said gently.
When Ye Yuhan heard this, his body shook slightly, and he struggled to sit up straight from Xiao Wutian's arms, and said eagerly: "Really, where is it?"
"On the side of Anyang County, Yun County, it seems that the Ethereal Building has been added. Xiao Wutian said calmly with a seemingly absent smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Ethereal Tower, that mysterious force that suddenly appeared more than two years ago?" Ye Yuhan thought for a moment, and asked uncertainly.
"Hmm. Xiao Wutian nodded, "So, I plan to go to meet the ethereal son, Feng'er's news must be very clear to him."
"But the court and the rivers and lakes have never been in contact with each other, besides, ,......" Ye Yuhan hesitated a little, "Won't it have anything to do with the outside world?"
Xiao Wutian smiled coldly, got up casually, and looked around at the great rivers and mountains, "The outside world, this is a lonely world, why be afraid of loneliness?"
Compared with Xifeng's outstanding previous generations, although the number of princes and princesses in this generation is not as good as that of previous generations, there are as many as five wonderful people.
The eldest prince Xiao Zhe is tolerant and benevolent and leads by example; the second prince Xiao Yu is proficient in the art of power and strategy; although the third prince Xiao Wen is not conspicuous, he is a figure who even the emperor can't help but praise a few words; and although the third princess Xiao Chenxue is a daughter, she does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and she does not lose to men in terms of power and military management.
If the first four are stars in the night sky, Xiao Feng, the sixth prince, is the bright moon that can be seen when he looks up. Born with a different appearance, and carefully taught by the emperor Wuhou, the eight-year-old civil and military can be a teacher, and the birth makes all the brothers and sisters eclipsed in front of him. Therefore, at the age of nine, he was canonized as the crown prince, and all the ministers obeyed, and no one objected.
However, if the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
In the Yuxuan Palace, the man with an evil temperament but a noble aura everywhere had long forgotten what brotherhood was, and looked at the thin stack of letter paper sent by his subordinates, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
"Has the news been verified?" After reading the contents of the letter, he put the letter paper on the table casually, and lazily rushed to the middle-aged scribe beside him.
"It has been confirmed that it is indeed the handiwork of the six princes. The scribe replied cautiously.
"Heh," the man chuckled, "I haven't seen him for three years, my sixth brother is still as smart as ever, what do you say, what is his intention to suddenly appear this time?
"My subordinates don't know. The middle-aged scribe still looked trembling and said respectfully.
"It would be strange if you knew. The man glanced at the middle-aged scribe and shook his head. Immediately, he muttered to himself, "But since you have appeared, sixth brother, why should the second brother also express it, right?"
Sure enough, it is the most ruthless imperial family.
Looking up at the middle-aged scribe, the man's smile intensified, "That woman should send someone to keep an eye on it." Wouldn't it be a pity that Hongu didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
The middle-aged scribe became more and more trembling.
The man retracted his gaze, his tone was very indifferent, and continued: "Whether it's a stand-in or myself, let Autumn Dao Jaw take the insect king to test the temptation, and it's best to bring people back." In addition, tell the woman the identity of the sixth brother directly, if she really wants to be my woman, she should do something for me. Let me see her sincerity. ”
"Your Highness is wise. The scribe immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head respectfully.
"Hmm. The man's tone returned to the same nonchalant as before, and he waved his hand lazily, "Stand down!"
"Yes. ”
In a farmhouse not far from the Imperial City, Xiao Wen looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and his tone was soft, "No matter who your previous name was, and what your identity was, since I have spent so much time and so much effort, you will be my pawn in the future, and I will be your master, do you understand?"
"I ...... Got it. The boy bowed his head and replied timidly.
Xiao Wen frowned slightly, his tone was still gentle, and he seemed to say to himself, "Do you usually teach you like this? It seems that these people are lazy and should be killed." ”
The faces of everyone present changed drastically, and some people were even paralyzed to the ground in fright, but no one dared to disagree.
"I ...... I, I'm sorry, I was wrong. The young man still lowered his head, his tone flustered, but his voice seemed to be a different person.
"Well," Xiao Wen nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that you have a bad memory, so I'll forgive you this time." Well, look up. ”
The multitudes were pardoned.
The boy also breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still very nervous. He slowly raised his head, revealing an extremely delicate and beautiful face, just looking at his eyebrows and eyes, he was seven or eight points similar to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Wen raised his hand and hooked the young man's chin, looked at it carefully, and said softly: "Sixth brother, sixth brother, why do you say that God is so unfair, why are you born with thousands of favors, everyone treats you as a treasure, and the third brother is unwilling." Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, laughed wildly, and lost half a minute of elegance and gentleness, "It shouldn't have been easy in the past few years, this is what you owe me, it is what you deserve, and it is a debt that you should repay." ”
The young man's face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.
Xiao Wen raised his hand and slapped it over, and said in a cold tone: "Give you another ten days, if you still behave like this, you don't have to live." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The boy was silent for a long time, and then slowly squatted on the ground and sobbed......
In the deepest forbidden place of the imperial capital, there is a Seven Xuan Pagoda. The purple gas in the Seven Xuan Pagoda is pervasive, majestic and vast. On the top floor of the Seven Xuan Pagoda, a purple long sword was suspended in the air, and the majestic purple qi around it was surging, diffusing or gathering from time to time.
This is the accumulation of Xifeng's thousand-year-old national fortune.
Suddenly, the purple qi rolled, the long sword trembled slightly, and something seemed to break through the suppression in the majestic purple qi.
"Xuanxu Lao'er, can't you hold it back?" As soon as it arrived, a gloomy voice suddenly came out of the purple qi.
"Hmph, Demon Eater, if we don't go out, don't even think about going out. Another old but majestic voice rang out.
"How can the immortal body be coveted by your demon spirit realm, if you have self-knowledge, you should leave as soon as possible. Another clear voice said indignantly.
"Yo, your temper is not small, do you think you can deal with Xiao Wutian?" a charming and delicate female voice laughed coquettishly.
"We naturally have a way to make Xiao Wutian compromise, and we don't need you to worry about it. The clear voice said indignantly again.
"Heh, yellow-headed child, although your cultivation is not bad, it is not your turn in our demon spirit realm to point fingers. Another eerie voice rang out, accompanied by a suffocating sense of oppression.
"What's the point of arguing? What's the use of going out? Don't forget, even if we get out of here, our cultivation is only the pinnacle of innateness. How complicated is this secular world, the innate peak, if you accidentally die, how can you talk about the inheritance of the sect?stupid!" another majestic voice reprimanded.
The purple breath suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, someone finally spoke again, "Venerable Lingyun, but if we don't go out, how can we lure the immortal spirit body into the great world? Could it be true that he was allowed to be a Laoshizi Emperor here, wasting a qualification that is rare in 10,000 years?"
After being silent for a long time, the majestic voice from before spoke again, "I was looking for an opportunity to contact the fairy body, but I didn't know that someone leaked the heavenly secret early, causing the fairy body to leave the imperial city. There is no point in such a stalemate now, even so, we and the Demon Spirit Realm will each send one person, and you will work together to help him evade Xiao Wutian's divine sense detection and leave here. As for who the fairy body chooses in the end, it depends on the will of heaven, how about it?"
"Agreed. ”
"Yes. ”
"But those who send must be of equal strength, and must not interfere in the affairs of the worldly world at will. ”
"Of course. ”
"I don't want to lure those high-ranking people out yet. ”
......
The bamboo forest is leisurely, and the bamboo leaves are fluttering.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, the elegant bamboo building stands quietly.
"Lord, everything went according to plan, but something went wrong. In the bamboo building, a middle-aged Confucian priest bowed down and said respectfully to the old man who bowed his head and composed a chess game.
"Oh, what accident?" said the old man calmly, stopping the chess pieces in his hand, looking up.
"Elder Jiang is seriously injured for some reason, Lord. ”
"Hmm. The old man nodded, bowed his head and continued to play chess by himself.
"The Ethereal Building suddenly stopped responding to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and ...... Prince Xifeng suddenly appeared and counted out the counties, and the Xifeng Emperor was in chaos. ”
"It's funny. The old man whispered in surprise, and then shook his head, "Will there be anyone in this worldly world who is qualified to play against the old decay?"
......
