Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 228 Where did life come from?
The case of the barbarian demon rebellion on the Qianmen Street of Sheng'an City not only frightened Hua Sijian, the head of the empire who visited Weifu privately, but also made this so-called impregnable Xiongcheng in the world lose face.
A Western barbarian, who killed several soldiers of the patrol battalion in public, and even two of the emperor's personal guards were cut off their heads.
What angered the emperor the most was that the demon barbarian finally disappeared in public in a hanging rope hanging from the clouds, and the people who witnessed this strange scene were terrified.
Although Hua Sizhen instructed the city defense to try his best to block this news, even if the mouths of the people were sewn with needles and threads, the rumors spread in private were like a silent drizzle, which would penetrate into every corner of this majestic city.
"There are immortals on Qianmen Street, who have subdued a few monsters and returned to the sky......"
"How did I hear that the emperor was immoral, and he was angry and resentful, so God warned ......"
"No, no, I heard that there are demons in the palace, and the gods are not invincible to the demons in this palace, and they can't win the battle, and they are driven back to the sky. And this monster ...... , don't say, don't say ......"
People who spread rumors will always add fuel and vinegar or play tricks, and after this layer of superposition, mystery and conspiracy will become the emperor's immorality, Sheng'an monsters, and the people are in danger.
Now even the butt sitting on the dragon chair is difficult to stabilize, Hua Sijian privately designated, and the imperial envoy Horn will supervise the case, and it is necessary to find out.
Horn learned about the riot on Qianmen Street from Huo Ping's mouth, and he didn't wait for Huo Ping to finish speaking, so he angrily scolded Huo Ping, "You can't make a thing, let you stay at home well, why did you run out and make trouble again, why was it still seen by the emperor? You! You ......?"
Horn "you" for a long time, his face flushed, but he couldn't hold back a word.
But before he could finish his temper, the emperor's herald had already come to the door, and Horn was shocked and told his subordinates to watch Huo Ping closely and never let him out again.
Horn trotted all the way to the front hall to meet the emperor's holy decree, and in his anger, he didn't forget to think in his heart, if the emperor really had the intention to blame, should he simply sacrifice Huo Ping and hand over this elm pimple for the emperor to deal with in person.
Huo Ping stayed in the room alone, frowned, and fell into deep thought, he was not still thinking about Horn's scolding, but relived every detail of the whole thing in his mind, but unfortunately he still had no clue, Huo Ping knew that the most important thing to figure out was whether the barbarian was the real dragon emperor who was hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement.
There are too many coincidences in each link, and they seem to make sense.
"That's not right!" Huo Pingteng stood up from his seat, "These coincidences are too reasonable, every step is exactly the same as expected, then it must not be the way things are, so what is this scene that this barbarian is carefully playing?"
Just came up with a result, which made Huo Ping stand up excitedly. However, more questions followed, and the warden who had begun to try to analyze the situation paced back and forth in the room in anguish.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the commander who conveyed the holy decree to be sent by Hoen, and outside Huo Ping's window, he heard the footsteps of the imperial historian trotting all the way.
"Huo Ping, you kid is okay, why don't you tell me the truth, what's the matter? You have been appointed by the emperor as the commander of the Ziwei Forbidden Army? Yes, yes, it should be yours, it will always be yours. Yes, yes, it seems that I misunderstood you. ”
It was rare for Horn to praise Huo Ping once, but at this moment Huo Ping seemed very calm, although he was depressed in his heart, "It's obvious that this unreasonable uncle didn't give himself a chance to speak, why do you still complain about yourself now." ”
However, what he was more curious about was that the emperor was still afraid that he would regret this matter, so he specially added a holy decree to it?
"No, no. Horn's tone softened a lot, "The emperor's decree is for me to thoroughly investigate this case, give everyone an explanation, and of course also set your appointment." ”
Horn, the imperial historian who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, only cares about being happy for Huo Ping's promotion to the commander of the Ziwei Forbidden Army, but ignores a more serious problem, Huo Ping blurted out,
"The investigation of the case in the capital has always been handled by the Tingwei Mansion, why don't you let the Tingwei Lord investigate thoroughly and let you investigate the case instead of your uncle?"
This sentence shocked Horn's heart, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out, walking in the officialdom, everyone is walking on thin ice, and every move must abide by all kinds of rules, and if you are not careful, you may end up with a tragic end of ruined family. He was only happy just now, but he ignored this obvious suspiciousness, and it was obviously against common sense to let him send the imperial doctor to investigate the case. Since it is contrary to common sense, it is necessary to understand what the reason for this is counterintuitive.
"Then what do you think?" Horn has always regarded Huo Ping as his own, and like a strict father, he will always look down on his children, but this time Huo Ping rightfully joined the Ziwei Forbidden Army, which made Horn's attitude change a lot.
Huo Ping thought for a while, "This matter needs to be investigated, not only the Western barbarian, but also the emperor is taboo, I'm afraid it is those rumors with ulterior motives." Uncle, your duty was originally to supervise the movements of hundreds of officials, I'm afraid that the emperor is not suspicious of this barbarian trick and making trouble, is there any internal response?"
Hearing this, Horn suddenly opened, but then rubbed his hands nervously, who doesn't know that in the imperial city, the most dazzling and deadly focus is power. If this incident is really aimed at the imperial power of Great Xia, then the path to the truth is only afraid that it will be bloody.
Horn paced back and forth uneasily, and finally his eyes fell back on Huo Ping, who was standing next to him, Huo Ping's composure made him impressed, thinking that his hard work for so many years of hard work had not been in vain.
In fact, Huo Ping was just thinking about the whole thing over and over again in his mind, trying to find out the real motive of the barbarians. As for life and death, it is not the issue he is most worried about at the moment, an experience of often winning the prison army has made this once arrogant and conceited son of a gentleman see too much life.
Those young beings are like wheat ripe or unripe in the ground, easily harvested by the sickle of fate. There is no room for bargaining.
......
In the wild forest outside Jinsha City, Qin Luoyu, who was gradually healing from his injuries, was also being asked questions about life by Xiang Bei. Xiang Bei insisted on carrying Qin Luoyu on his back to choose the highest branch to help her bathe in the clear light of the moonlight, and under careful care, Qin Luoyu's face was a little ruddy, but his lips were still chapped.
Qin Luoyu told Xiang Bei a secret recipe, only the first most crystalline morning dew in the morning could heal the cracks on his lips, because that dew dissolved the power of life.
Xiang Bei didn't say a word, after accompanying Qin Luoyu to study the meridian meditation exercise every day, he took advantage of the moment when the moon set and sunrise to pick the green dew on the grass blades one by one, and after collecting it, he sent it to Qin Luoyu's side.
"You fool, I lied to you, why are you so stupid, if I die, eighty percent will be killed by others. ”
Xiang Bei smirked, and silently thought in his heart, "As long as you don't cheat me." ”
But when the words came to his lips, he became, "I believe that these dewdrops really contain the power of life, I once saw a child who could not walk steadily, and he relied on collecting dew to keep his mother who was seriously ill in bed to maintain his weak life." ”
"Oh, then what happened to them?" Qin Luoyu was inexplicably touched by the softest part of his heart by the story Xiang Bei said, and couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of the child.
Xiang Bei took a deep breath, and then sighed again, "Perhaps, leaving this world is a relief for Xiaobao's mother and son......"
After reading the joys and sorrows of the world, Yan Luo Qin Luoyu, who had read all the joys and sorrows of the world, was moved by this unmasked child at this moment. I couldn't help but feel, "Maybe death is a relief, but there are some things that make us want to stay." ”
Xiang Bei could roughly guess what Qin Luoyu was talking about, but he was still a little curious, "Luoyu, you have experienced the reincarnation of the eighth life, can you tell me, what is life? Or, when a person dies, where will he go?"
"Dead, it's dead......" Qin Luoyu's face was slowly filled with sadness, which made her exquisite face even more beautiful.
Xiang Bei suddenly had an urge to take her into his arms. Because it seems that in the eyes of this nine-life fairy, Xiang Bei faintly saw some kind of encouragement.
Qin Luoyu stared at the young man in front of him for a long time, and found that this red-faced young man who was always teased by himself did not shy away from facing him with gentle eyes at this moment, and the heartbeats of both of them were quietly accelerating, but no one was willing to break this superficial calm.
Qin Luoyu reached out his slender fingers, grabbed a blade of grass with dewdrops on it, and dotted the dew on his chapped lips, and the red lips suddenly moistened with a bright and bright brilliance.
The nine-life fairy wanted to tell the young man in front of him everything she knew about life, because he wanted to know.
"Our Kunlun Lingyu, the founding patriarch left a path to immortality, but since him, Lingyu Peak has never had the real ability to ascend to the heavens and enter the immortals. However, the successive Realm Guards have all tried the way to ascend to the Immortals in accordance with the methods handed down from our Realm Guards. ”
This was what Qin Luoyu said to Xiang Bei before, so Xiang Bei listened quietly and was not too surprised, but Qin Luoyu's next narration made Xiang Bei's mouth open wider and wider.
"Cultivating immortals is not for immortality, but immortality is for cultivating immortals. The legacy left by the ancestors is that as long as you practice for many generations and accumulate enough spiritual cultivation, then you can become immortals......"
The ancestor of Kunlun Lingyu Peak left a magical piece of jade to the descendants of Lingyu Peak, called "Lock Soul", and when the first eight generations of the Realm Guard died, some disciples would use the "Lock Soul" to temporarily seal their souls, and after finding the skin of the new life, they would put the practice of the "Lock Soul" into the skin.
Xiang Bei understood a little when he heard this, "So, you are not really reincarnated, but you just used magic weapons to escape real reincarnation." You don't know where your soul will go after death, do you?"
The corners of Qin Luoyu's mouth rose slightly, and it seemed that the ridiculous expression had returned to her face, "The child can be taught." As he spoke, a pair of white little hands, in front of Xiang Bei, poked in from the majestic twin peaks on his chest, and the clothes that were already close to his body, under the agitation of his arms, outlined the curves of those temptations to the fullest.
Just when Xiang Bei was at a loss, Qin Luoyu's arm finally retreated, holding a dark green spirit jade in his hand, "See, silly boy, this is the soul lock!"
