Chapter Forty-Eight: Earth-Shaking Changes
As a result, Tuoba Lie came, and he who had always been far away broke through himself and walked into the core of the storm, facing the eyes of his father and the world, and made even more amazing moves like Chu Xiu. The other party's amazement was fleeting, and he didn't know how far he could hold on. In any case, it is a way of life, whether to choose to sit back and relax and enjoy the ordinary, or to choose it is likely to be just a fleeting bloom, in the past he chose the former, and immediately became the latter after knowing Shen Fei, because as Shen Fei said, he originally had a heart in his body that was ready to move, but because the time was not ripe, he unanimously suppressed his desire, and now he finally got Shen Fei, just like a fish getting water, he naturally had to work hard to explode without hesitation.
Although Chu Xiu's death brought him an ominous premonition and showed him a bad precedent, what could he do, since he had already made a decision, there was no possibility of turning around, and he was not even allowed to retreat, this was a big gamble of life or death.
Waiting, as the time passed minute by minute, the temperature of the sun reached its highest, and on the granite floor, the pleasure-accustomed ministers fell one after another, and if they fell, they would be punished with the rod. There is no longer such a slow time process, no more difficult time, it is the same for Tuoba Lie, and for the ministers kneeling outside the hall.
Everyone was waiting for the old emperor's answer.
Then, the expectation came as promised: "...... on time!"
At the moment when the old emperor announced his will, a eunuch knelt outside the door of the upper study: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine asks to see you!"
"Mother is coming back?" Tuoba Lie was shocked.
The old emperor was also taken aback, and he immediately waved his hand after a hundred battles: "No!"
......
To do a thing, the right time, the right place and people are indispensable, too many smart people in the world in order to achieve the goal of painstaking efforts, the organ calculates, but often falls short because of an unexpected fork in the door, so it is said that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky.
It was late at night, Tuoba Lie had not returned, and the courtiers had not returned, Shen Fei was vaguely worried in his heart, it was too long, if it took such a long time to make a decision, it would prove that it was very difficult to make a decision, and even if the decision was made, it was likely to be backlash in the future.
Shen Fei didn't know the reason, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that he miscalculated?" In his mind, the old emperor should readily accept Huang Zilie's proposal, suppress Tuoba Zhen, promote Huang Zilie, and let Prince Lie and the eldest prince form a new balanced relationship.
The moon in the sky was curved, as if to indicate that things would not go smoothly, Shen Fei was deeply worried but couldn't think about it, after all, he was only a staff member of Huang Zilie, and he had no official position, so he couldn't enter and leave the palace alone.
He unconsciously clenched Ruoxue's hand, and Ruoxue sat in the courtyard with him, sleeping on the pillow of Qixiao's thick and soft fur. Ruoxue's hands are cold, slender and soft, as if they have no bones, and when you hold them, you can feel a strong desire for protection and possessiveness.
This made Shen Fei feel steady, and rubbed his back, being gently wrapped in the boss's fur like a living thing, which was very comfortable.
Thinking about it carefully, a lot of things have really happened since entering the imperial capital.
First of all, and the most important thing, Chu Xiu, the second son of White Bird Peak, made a shining appearance in the imperial capital, quickly won the appreciation of the old emperor, and advocated reform and broke with the ministers, resulting in the murder of the tenth prince Tuoba Zhen. Objectively speaking, Chu Xiu's wish to be famous all over the world has been achieved, although the duration is negligible, although he will soon be forgotten by the people who have long been tormented by the hardships of life, but at least in that short time, he did it, and achieved the four words of fame all over the world, and made an impassioned speech in the imperial capital, achieving the common dream of Confucianism in the world, although he did not succeed but died without regrets. Chu Xiu's death is actually inevitable, the stars give him guidance, but they do not give him strength, in this era of the weak and the strong, those who have no strength will be killed sooner or later. From his appearance to his death, he was like a meteorite in the sky, shining for a moment and then quickly disappearing, leaving behind a huge crater.
Chu Xiu's death made the situation in the empire suddenly change, and the fate of the two brothers, Tuoba Lie and Tuoba Zhen, entered a crossroads, one of the two people supported Chu Xiu's reform proposal, and the other opposed Chu Xiu's reform proposal, and only one of the two must have the last laugh.
Earlier than the fall of Chu Xiu was the death of the seventeenth prince, before the birth of Mrs. Fist Yu's child, the seventeenth prince was the youngest son of the old emperor, and it was a child born after nearly twenty years, which was of great significance, but the seventeenth prince's background was not good (his mother was a palace maid), and he was not taken seriously since he was a child.
In this case, Mrs. Fist Yu threw an olive branch to him, and Lady Fist Jade, who was hatching the dragon species, in order to consolidate her position, accepted this child who had not been valued for several years as a righteous son, and since then the seventeen princes have put on wings and become the most favored of all the princes.
The old emperor is a person who understands, and he is like a mirror for the people and things around him, his favor doesn't matter if it's true or not, but the feeling he brings to others is that he wants to vigorously cultivate the seventeenth prince, and he wants to desperately pamper Mrs. Boxing Yu (Concubine Rong), this sudden favor made the seventeenth prince fluttering, and he was stopped by Chu Xiu from doing something out of the ordinary, and was even punished by the old emperor, and the worse or sad thing is that on the night when the punishment took effect, His Royal Highness the prince actually died in the palace where he lived very bizarrely, and the death was extremely miserable, and he still doesn't know who the murderer isγ
The empire seems to be shrouded in a spell, and all the characters who seem to be about to rise strongly will be ruthlessly shot down from the mortal dust in the end, to face the haze of death, Chu Xiu is like this, the seventeenth prince is like this, and I don't know if the prince will be like this in the future?
Their death may be an inevitable result, because the situation in the court has taken shape, similar to the Great Prince and the Ten Princes have occupied too many resources, and all the existence that threatens their status will inevitably be eliminated, just like Cao Cao's youngest son Cao Chong, who is obviously amazing and brilliant, but was inexplicably poisoned at home, and the murderer can never be found, this is a reality, a nightmare created by royal privileges.
Originally, the death of the seventeenth prince should have set off a storm in the imperial capital, but immediately there was another incident in which Chu Xiu was killed by the tenth prince, which led to the process of investigating the cause of the prince's death being shelved.
Now among the princes, Shen Fei has seen three people, namely the dead seventeen princes, the extremely vicious ten princes and the second prince who was hollowed out by alcohol and beauties.
At the same time as the princes' cannibalism was carried out the declaration of war of Buddhism, the pure spirit monk first contributed to the debate of Buddhism and Taoism in the Dharma altar, and then ordered himself to stop immediately in front of the people of the world, otherwise he would start a war with Taoism, and his sudden behavior was probably related to Master Pude hinting at the truth of the matter to himself, which can only be described as unexpected.
Looking at the sky, Shen Fei sorted out the messy clues, in half a month, one strange thing after another happened, the storm in the imperial capital seemed to be set off with his arrival, and a monstrous wave seemed to be about to drown everyone who existed in it, and no one was spared.
Shen Fei felt very unstable, Shen Fei felt that there were many challenges, he had the heart to find a quiet place to hide, be quiet, and avoid the limelight for a while, so he slowly pulled his body out of Nalan Ruoxue's arms, patted the heads of the seven little ones, and told them to take care of Ruoxue, and then turned into a streamer and entered the Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers that he had not set foot in for a long time.
He hadn't set foot here for too long, the reason why Shen Fei was reluctant to do so was because the last time he entered the Divine Scroll, he almost couldn't control his mind and made an unforgivable mistake, from this level, Shen Fei is also a person who is used to escaping, he tends to avoid things he doesn't want to face for a while, and wait until the negative emotions fade almost before facing them.
Entering the Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, the power of the ruler immediately fills the whole body, making Shen Fei full of strength, making him feel the ability to dominate everything and look at everything again, as a superior person, holding the power of life and death of others, you will unconsciously become arrogant, become intolerant of disobedient opinions, and become invincible.
Shen Fei is like this, Shen Fei, who entered the Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Scroll and turned into the master, didn't even have the same movements from a distance, and the feeling of looking at everything made the breath on his body contain violence.
One day in the outside world is equal to one month in the mountains and rivers volume, Shen Fei has not entered the mountains and rivers volume for several months, and nearly ten years have passed in the god scroll, and this ten years of time represents too many things, which may be earth-shaking changes!
- Indeed it is!
When Shen Fei once again looked at the Divine Scroll with the majesty of the Dominator, he was stunned, was this still the Divine Scroll he was familiar with, it was simply a different scene.
As far as the eye could see, everything had changed, it had become shocking, it had become unattainable, it had become incredible, it had become something that Shen Fei could not imagine.
-- The world's borders have expanded outward more than tenfold.
It's no wonder that the immortal power is more and more abundant and abundant, and it turns out that the Qi Swallowing Mountains and Rivers, which is one of the natal artifacts, has achieved unprecedented growth.
As far as the eye can see, it is no longer a small pattern of five mountain peaks surrounding a dark crypt, and the edge of the world has expanded outward more than tenfold. The five peaks stretch into an endless mountain range, and the snow-capped mountains melt at the top of the mountain to form a clear and clean stream of water flowing down the mountain, which converges into a stream, and at the foot of the mountain into the soothing place of the plain, the water further blends into a rushing river.
After ten years of evolution, the space within the mountains and rivers is vast enough to accommodate the plains, and there are large areas of verdant grasslands, barren basins and Gobi deserts in the places adjacent to the mountains, and the only difference from the world of Kyushu is that there is no ocean in the mountains and rivers, there is no sea at all, and the borders of the world are shrouded in chaos.
Putting these aside, Shen Fei was surprised to find that the abyssal zone, which he was deeply afraid of, had shifted from the center surrounded by mountains to the edge of the map, with one side close to the mountains and the other side close to chaos, and the area had increased exponentially.
If you draw a map with a brush, you will be amazed by the towering mountains that seem to split the world in two, with a vast plain on the west side of the mountains and a dark and bottomless crypt on the east side.
Why did such a scene occur Shen Fei didn't know, but this was not what surprised him the most, what surprised him even more was that there were traces of fighting in this world, corpses that had never been seen before, and intelligent beings appeared?
Shen Fei was stunned, because as the master, he was able to see every detail of the world of mountains and rivers, and he saw that there were creatures that were similar to humans and could walk upright, these creatures had giant horns facing the sky, and the face of an elk, and they had a strict order of action.
It's a herd of elk! Shen Fei immediately saw through where they had evolved from.
In just ten years, the elk herd that used to run in the mountains and forests has completely changed, they can walk upright, the male elk is up to two meters tall, counting the giant horns on the head is generally close to two meters five, the patterns on the body have become lighter, the eyes have become larger, and the eyeballs swim in the eye sockets with thinking, which looks exactly like the human one.
Although they stood up, their lower limbs did not grow significantly, and their upper limbs had functions similar to those of human arms, and what made Shen Fei incredible was that their hooves were forcibly separated into five fingers, not flexible and controllable fingers like humans, but the hard hooves were forcibly separated into the shape of fingers by external force cutting.
Shen Fei observed carefully and found the process of finger separation, which was a newborn baby tied to a hard rock with five flowers, a sturdy adult male elk holding a red-hot knife on the child's four hooves, separating them into the shape of human five fingers, and then coating the wound with herbs containing spiritual power, tying it with daylilies, and waiting until these were all completed before being held by the elders and returned to the child's mother, the mother did not have a father by her side, it seems that polygamy is not applicable in the ethnic group.
The medicine contains spiritual power, when it is specially treated, Shen Fei searched around, and saw that one of the thatched houses was much higher than the surrounding ones, and the only one-horned female elk with white fur in the group was sitting in the house with an old deer, and the white female elk must be the former deer king, and was using her own one-horn to cast spells on the medicine in the medicine tank.
