Chapter 191: Rebel and Tyrant
On a snowy night in Lanling City, the dawn broke through the clouds.
The sky is quiet.
A young man in a white robe, walking in the corridor of the pavilion in the sky, humming a soft ballad, his voice echoing in the eight corners of the pavilion, but his figure was like a ghost.
The soldiers on the night vigil turned a deaf ear, allowing the white-covered boy to pass behind or in front of him, his face unwavering.
The soft sound of the ballad seemed to be heard by no one else.
......
......
"Qishui soup soup, there is the dragon king who crossed the river;
The vicissitudes of the rivers and lakes, who are ups and downs and sorrowful;
Beiliang Silver City is windy and snowy,
Woohoo sword mound hidden in the world;
Looking at the Spring and Autumn Ten Kingdoms, the beacon fire and wolf smoke in the world are prosperous, and the corpse is wrapped in the battlefield, only the Northern Wei Qiliang remains;
Hob knife rivers and lakes, pointing to life and death, wine and sword, poetry madness, children and daughters, eternal and unchanged;
laughing at the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are nothing but dust relics;
Laughing at the ancient and modern heroes is just a pinch of loess;
laugh at the rivers and lakes that visitors are cheaper than ants;
laughing at the beauty of the white-haired general twilight;
Have you ever seen that the Emperor of Heaven shot the Qili, the bright moon went out of the Guanxia, and a reed crossed the Qi Riverββ
Have you ever thought that lifting the sun to fly to the heavens, the sea will become a mulberry field, and the emperor will be killed with a sword-
Woohoo desolate, I don't see the sword qi of the poem scroll a hundred years ago-
Woohoo desolate, who can be drunk and lying on the battlefield -
Woohoo desolate, all pay for the float!"
The white-robed young man sang this famous song in a desolate voice, leaning on the railing with one hand, his fingertips playing with the higher and higher layers of snow along the road, and finally stopped on the highest floor, his fingertips already piled up a thick layer of snowflakes.
Yuan Tiangang held the pile of fine snow, his face was a little pale, and there seemed to be a very shallow wound on his eyebrows, perhaps because of the addition of the heavens, his body bones looked much weaker.
The palm ticked and fell into the water, and he just stood opposite the room in the air pavilion, finished singing, and finally waited until the snow in his palm melted, knocked lightly on the door in front of the two tall armor soldiers at the door, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty?"
The only person who could hear his voice was the old man in the room from beginning to end.
It was dark in that room.
After the young man pushed the door open, he closed the door again, and the extremely long shadow that was originally reflected in the room was engulfed in darkness again.
At the head of the old man's bed, there was originally an old lamp, but the wick had burned out, and he was too lazy to call people to light it again, and there was no discomfort in the darker and darker environment.
Just get used to it.
The most important thing is quiet.
There was a ticking sound in the room that hit the ground, crisp and ear-shattering, so it was quiet for a long time, and it was no longer quiet.
The old man, half-leaning on the bed, calmly looked at the thin shadow in the darkness, he never closed his eyes, he was always waiting for what was coming.
So in the darkness, the boy spoke again.
"Your Majesty...... My Majesty. β
Just like the first meeting, in Gangnam Province, the spring breeze of recovery blew on the cheeks of the young man and the young man, the sideburns were flying, and the young man in white lily smiled and knelt down on one knee, hugged the feather fan, raised his head, and promised very sincerely that he would fight with himself and lay down half of the world.
The iron horses flew and the mud and dust were scattered.
Now spring is gone, winter is coming.
The great spring of man has passed, and the winter of life is coming to an end.
The old man who was half-leaning on the bed said softly: "Your appearance has not changed...... I have known for a long time that the years will not leave traces on your face. β
The ticking sound is constant.
The young man said softly: "Your Majesty, the appearance is just a skin, everyone will die, the monarch of the Western Regions will die, the sword Zongming who holds cause and effect will die, and the first city lord who ferries Qijiang will die...... I'm going to die too. β
Xiao Wang smiled and said, "It turns out that you are also afraid of death?"
There was silence in the room.
Yuan Tiangang seemed to be thinking about something, and his voice became choppy: "The longer you live...... The more you don't want to die. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just ...... It's going to take a little time. β
The old man, who was half-leaning on the bed, said gently, "So...... That's why you're coming to me this time?"
The boy said calmly, "Yes. I hope you live a little longer. β
Xiao Wang sighed softly, as if he was sighing, he narrowed his eyes and muttered, "If at that time, we hadn't met...... You may be dead. β
"I will find a second 'Majesty' and I will still live. The young man's voice was emotionless, and he said: "But without Qi Liang, history has changed, and I can't get this far...... Maybe you're right, if we hadn't met, I might have been 'dead' at this point. β
Xiao Wang smiled: "If time could be repeated, I knew that I would meet her, then I would not save you." β
Yuan Tiangang was silent, he shook his head, and said with a complicated expression: "It's hard to start over in time...... If you don't save me, you'll die, and I'll die. β
"In this world, anyone can operate normally without it, the sun, moon and stars, there will be no less, and the sunrise and sunset will not be too late for a moment. The old man half-leaning on the bed, his face was neither happy nor sad: "But I sometimes think, I saved you, changed the pattern of the Central Plains Continent, the alternation of day and night has not changed the disorder, but Lanling City has been able to firmly control the timeline of the war, all this is not due to me, it is you who ...... foresaw everything in the future and guided Qi Liang to make every move. The absence of me in the world is not a misfortune, but the absence of you may be a disaster. β
"The good thing is...... You also have a weakness. β
Xiao Wang grinned and said, "When I was very young, I thought about what the immortals in the sky should look like...... Later, I learned that there really existed to be able to kill gods on the battlefield with a thousand dollars, and those people were called demons, called grandmasters, and even more powerful, those who were fearless in the face of a country's heavy cavalry were called great grandmasters, and they came out once in a hundred years, which was rare in the world. β
The young man standing in the darkness looked as usual, quietly listening to the old man on the bed, and the ticking sound gradually became slow, dripping on the ground, and becoming viscous.
"I've always held your weakness, I've always felt your life, I know you're otherworldly, and I know you're ...... One day I will leave Lanling City, but even so, I still have no worries. β
As long as we have the same purpose, then this weakness can be regarded as a guarantee of concerted efforts. β
"You're back today. β
The old man on the bed smiled and said, "You are afraid that I will die......"
Xiao Wang gently tugged at his robe, his shriveled skin beating lightly with a slight frequency.
His heart was beating fast and steady.
In the room, there was only the sound of a heartbeat.
To be precise, the heart under the white young man's robe...... It is the same as Xiao Wang's heart and the frequency of beating.
"For so many years, you and I have shared the same heart...... I have never regretted that when we first met, I decided to give you half of my life. Xiao Wang lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "I am older faster than others, and my heartbeat is twice as fast as theirs...... Now, it seems, what do I get more than twice as much?"
The old man said with a smile.
"I have the whole world. β
......
......
Yuan Tiangang pursed his lips.
There was an indescribable complexity in his eyes.
No one can live forever.
Everyone has their own way of living.
Jian Zongming can use cause and effect to cut off the connection between the years, but the more tired he gets, the more he can't cut it off in the end, and countless hours of time fall on his body, and he will instantly turn gray hair and turn into white bones.
Eternal life, eternal life...... I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it.
He should have lived to this day, he should have been a dry skeleton a long time ago, but he just walked with the future, sharing his life with others along the way.
This kind of technique is not very clever.
But you just need to find the right person, and then you can live forever.
After Xiao Wang finished saying this, his eyes were unpredictable, and he suddenly said: "What you promised me, have you done it." β
Mu Ran, a young man in the dark, said: "Murong's three divine souls have been found, two are in Yi Xiao's hands, and one is in the Heavenly Pole Sea Putuo Mountain, the three souls are reunited, and she can come back to life." β
Xiao Wang was silent and lowered his eyebrows.
"What else?"
"It won't be long before Qi Liang will break through Luoyang. β
"And. β
β...... When everything is a foregone conclusion, I will personally take action and send Xiao Chongding back to Lanling City. β
His Majesty on the bed smiled at this time, "You went to sea to find an elixir for a long time...... I know, you've found it a long time ago. It's been rumored out there that I'm seriously ill, and you don't care...... But they don't know that if I die, you will die with me, so you are more anxious than anyone else. β
Xiao Wang said softly: "But as soon as I agree, you want to swallow that elixir?"
The young man was silent and did not answer, and Yuan Tiangang's eyes were already with a trace of anxiety.
"The elixir of life is transformed, and the adult ...... Cultivation is not easy, it is a human life. The old man on the bed laughed with three or four points of laughter, and said, "Are you going to eat people?"
Xiao Wang suddenly restrained his smile.
β...... Yuan Tiangang, I hold half of the floating record in my hand. β
"So I never forgot the identity of that elixir. β
The white boy finally opened his eyes.
With a bang, the dark room burst into flames, and the ancient lamp beside Xiao Wang spontaneously combusted without a core, and the blazing light shone all over the pavilion in the air.
The old man's face was calm, and the words were like thunder: "If I don't agree, you can't kill her." β
Yuan Tiangang's white lily flew upside down, the tips of his eyebrows were raised like flying, blood flowed from the center of his eyebrows, and the sound of ticking and ticking was not just the snow in his palm, but the blood flowing from his eyebrows spread all the way.
The sound of thunder splashed scarlet.
The old man on the bed held a dagger against his chest, and his voice was extremely flat.
"If you insist on being a rebel......
"Then I can only be a tyrant once. β
