Chapter 9: The Apocalypse
It was night, the clouds and mist obscured, and the crescent moon appeared and disappeared.
Below, in the capital of a certain country on the vast land, in an extremely luxurious palace, there must be a floating dragon carving in the center of all stone steps, showing dignity; In the palace, the pavilions and pavilions are innumerable, the palace lights are dotted, and the lights are bright everywhere, shining like day.
And in the southeast of the palace, a high stone platform is built, and there is a reddish-brown long table on the platform, which is the case of inviting the gods, and the tortoise shell of the size of the palm is placed in the middle of the table. The stone platform is surrounded by emptiness, there are no trees and no houses, and you can watch the starry sky at a glance, this is a stargazing platform. It is the place where Qintian supervises the operation of the celestial phenomena and measures the blessings and misfortunes of the world.
On the stargazing platform, a thin old man in a blue and blue uniform stood with his hands in his hands and looked up at the starry sky, calculating the trajectory of the stars, looking for discord, and observing the changes.
At this time, in the distant sky, an extremely dazzling blood-colored comet came from outside the sky, crossing the starry sky, leaving a blood mark that runs through the sky, like a blood bridge lying across the Milky Way, which is amazing.
Seeing this, the old star official showed horror, and hurriedly lowered his head and pinched his fingers. After a while, he stretched out his thin right hand, and suddenly a scar appeared on his palm, like a knife cut, and then covered his right hand on the dark tortoise shell in front of him, and a trickle of blood flowed down the turtle pattern.
The old star official had no pain on his face but was anxious, waiting for the result.
After a long time, with a "tick", when the blood dripped down the stone platform along the corner of the table, the old star official left the tortoise shell, and then clenched his right hand to stop the bleeding. After too long, his face was too pale, and his thin figure seemed to be shaky, but he didn't care, and quickly took out a piece of white paper from the table with his left hand, and shook his hand, and the white paper stretched out and covered the tortoise shell.
The white paper gradually printed some blood-colored symbols, which were obscure and difficult to understand. When the blood-colored symbol took shape and no longer appeared, the old star official gently picked it up, and then let go, and suddenly turned his palm up, gushing out a wave of air, carrying it steadily, so that the white paper was suspended flat at three inches.
After a while, the old star official frowned slightly, this is an ancient rune, it is difficult to understand in the world, and he can't help but ponder. After a while, suddenly a dark divine light surged on the rune from the center of the eyebrows, and I saw that the rune began to change, as if it was active, forming a seal, four sentences of seven-word poems.
Immediately, the old star official silently recited, and when he read the third sentence, his face changed greatly, and then he kept murmuring: "Demon dance...... Demon Dance ......"
After muttering to himself many times, he suddenly raised his head, put away the white paper, and rushed towards the Forbidden Palace, like a streamer, it turned out that the old star official was actually a world-class powerhouse.
"Master Taifu, it's late at night, so please be early tomorrow. "A palace gate, extremely majestic, guarded by the Praetorian Guards in front, speaking is a middle-aged military general, very rough, with both hands around the sword.
"I'm sorry, the situation is urgent, offended. The old star official didn't stop and went straight to the palace gate.
The Praetorian Guards raised their spears to stab, but they didn't even feel a shadow. When the old star officer approached the middle-aged general, his expression was solemn, and even his palm was filled with a mysterious light, but the middle-aged military general turned sideways slightly and handed over a look.
Slightly stunned, the old star official nodded slightly gratefully, it was not obvious, but the two parties involved knew it well. So, the old star official broke through the curfew, and the speed did not decrease, and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
"Hehe, you still have to do the kung fu on the surface, otherwise any bastard who doesn't have long eyes will sue him, and he won't be able to get out of bed for three days if he hasn't been beaten. Hehe, it seems that Wang Lao has seen some big secrets again, making such a big move, it is estimated that it is going to change the sky, let's still guard this acre and three points of land, mixed with Yulu, this is really it. The middle-aged military general looked at the direction of the old star officer's departure and smiled, then looked at the guards, and said: "Cubs, cheer up, from now on, you can't let go of a single mosquito, and those who dare to break in will be killed." He knew that Wang Lao had no big things, and he would never break into the palace, and he must guard it next, so maybe there would be a reward for no fault, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
Between the streamers, Wang Lao arrives in front of a Qingya palace, the left and right corridors are lined up with potted plants, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, the fragrance is overflowing, here is gorgeous like spring brocade, it is the emperor's sleeping palace - spring sleep hall.
Wang Lao had no intention of stopping, but he still stopped. Because there is a person in front of him, an old man, an old chamberlain with a scanty face, who is in charge of the emperor's daily life, and is regarded by the emperor as a relative.
"You shouldn't have come, and you shouldn't have come at this time. The old waiter's voice was extremely low, but with unquestionable determination.
"I know. ”
"You know, you know that our emperor has not slept for several nights, there is a famine in the northwest, there is a flood in the south, and the Beichen family is secretly plotting rebellion, and these things have made His Majesty forget to sleep and eat. Millions of silver have been allocated in the northwest and south to be personally escorted by Kong Qincha of 'Qingfeng Ren Mingyue', and His Majesty has also found out the reason in the Beichen family, which is instigated by Prince An, and His Majesty has benevolently issued a holy decree: 'Adjust the prince of An to go to Mengcheng to serve as the king of Si'an, and seal the general of Beichen as Wu'an, and live in the Acropolis forever. 'Now that my emperor is resting, why bother the emperor again. The old waiter was heartfelt, his low voice trembled a little, and finally even pleaded.
"My Emperor Shengming! The disaster relief matter is entrusted to Mr. Kong Li, who was one of the few virtuous ministers at that time, and was extremely fair and selfless. However, Your Majesty is too benevolent, and the conspiracy to usurp the throne and endanger the lives of the society is so hasty, but the titles are all with the word An, and the territories are tens of thousands of miles apart, Your Majesty is also well-intentioned, even if you are stupid, you should understand Your Majesty's intentions, and if you are a prince in this life, you will not lose your wealth. However, today's matter is too urgent to delay, and Brother Zuo forgives his sins. Wang Lao's tone was not low or high, he didn't want to frighten the emperor of the palace, but also hoped that the emperor could hear it and announce him inside. However, the dormitory is full of secret laws, and the outside world cannot peep, let alone know what is going on. The emperor is not visible, and the situation is urgent, so he can only break through, and his momentum rises in vain.
"Hmph! Mrs. Wang Fu is the emperor's teacher, and an unclean person like me would not dare to call you a brother and a brother. Since the emperor is bent on going his own way, the old slave can only ask for advice on the eight changes of the stars. Please!" The words were closed, the old waiter's eyes flashed, and his thin body was like dragon flesh and blood, full of power.
The two old men both looked like they were in armor, and their bodies were weak. But the momentum is like a rainbow soaring into the sky, the qi and blood in the body are surging, compared to the prime of life, the body surface is even more shiny and flickering, and there are visions gushing out, if the god is mighty.
The big war is on the verge of breaking out!
"It's been a long time since I've seen the majesty of Master Wang and Uncle Zuo, and thinking about the past makes my heart broken, but this is never the case, and this is because of me, which makes me blame myself. However, both of them are my elders, I have always regarded them as relatives, if it weren't for the help of the two of them, how could I have a country to sit on, and it would be difficult to save my life, Wang Shi and Zuo Bo are right? Wang Shi is my teacher, whenever the teacher comes to find a student, it is very appropriate, Zuo Bo is with me to grow up, and this protector is doubly careful, if it is not late at night, Wang Shi will say something to Yu I to listen, and I can rest early, what does Zuo Bo think?"
At the same time, the two old men bowed from afar to show their respect.
"Everything is subject to His Majesty's decree. Please Your Majesty don't call the old slave an uncle, the number of etiquette is inconsistent, and the old slave is an unclean person, I am afraid of insulting Your Majesty's dragon body. As soon as the words fell, the old attendant Zuo hurriedly bowed down to the dormitory.
"Why should Uncle Zuo be humble? Wang Shi also asked him to enter quickly, and tell the mourning family and His Majesty what was going on, so that he could take care of it as soon as possible, and bother Uncle Zuo to take care of it. The lazy but dignified phoenix voice came from the dormitory.
"No. The two said.
......
At the same time, the imperial palace of a certain country. In a palace, crane lanterns are arranged around to shine brightly, and sandalwood is overflowing in a few incense burners, which is very fragrant.
There are only two people in the huge palace, a man and a woman. The woman lives in the center of the main hall, sitting on the dragon chair, it is the first empress of Kuanggu, the Great Zhou State - the Emperor of the Heavenly Saint Tianming Huazong.
In the past, twenty years ago, the imperial family of the Great Zhou Ji clan was in turmoil. The conspirators colluded with the demon clan and slaughtered the royal family, but for more than a month, the blood was exhausted, but fortunately, there was a peerless strong man to help him, and he killed the conspirators, and even forced the demon clan army to withdraw from the world with a single sword to keep the peace. But the royal family does not exist, the people's hearts are scattered, the surrounding powers look at the opportunity, the coalition forces press the border, just a few days, lose 22 cities in a row, the whole country is shocked, the minister is even more panicked, some ministers persuade the empress who was still the queen at that time to surrender the country, the queen wants to reprimand it. At this time, the queen's nephew Hongyi was only a young crown at that time, and when he heard this, he said angrily: "The country is about to die, what should the husband take as his home? But the country needs the king, in such a crisis, the royal family only left the eldest princess who had just been born, so he supported the first emperor and queen as the king, which was an expedient measure, but the empress ruled the martial arts, and the order was executed, and everything was broken, and the rivers and mountains were recovered, and a series of measures to benefit the people, such as tax reduction, agriculture, business, reform of the imperial examination, and attaching importance to culture, let the people support living and working in peace and contentment, so far the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty respected the empress.
At this time, the empress on the dragon chair slightly clasped the jade fan in her hand, looked down, and said, "Heir, what do you think this portends?"
The young man below was looking intently at the four seven-character poems on the paper, his brows were furrowed, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this apocalypse is a hidden poem, Your Majesty may wish to connect the first four words and read it." ”
The Empress meditated. After a while, his brows jumped, revealing his understanding, and said, "Bachelor Li is worthy of being a national warrior, what else do you see?"
Hearing this, Li Chengsi stood up from his chair, moved left and right in the main hall, and kept reciting poems silently.
The empress was not annoyed and waited for her words.
"Li Yun?" Li Chengsi muttered continuously. After about an hour, his face was overjoyed, and he said loudly: "I have come back to Your Majesty to solve some problems." The changes in this matter are all in the Li character and the cloud character, which should be the name of the person. Before he finished speaking, he rubbed the acupoint with one hand and said helplessly: "Hey! In the vast sea of people, how to find it, there are many people with the same name and surname." ”
"Li Yun?"
"The minister only explained some, maybe two words, maybe three words. Li Yun, Li Mouyun, Li Yun ......" Speaking of this, Li Chengsi looked pensive, as if he was remembering.
The empress said lightly: "Li Qing, what is the explanation of bullying the king?"
"The minister doesn't dare! The minister just remembered that the younger brother's name was Li Yunmo, and it caused homesickness, so he was immersed in it and didn't feel fascinated. Li Chengsi said busily.
"Oh, I seem to remember that all four of your brothers are heirs, hmm, where is your younger brother?"
"Cloud Sect Sword Gate. ”
......
That night, the forces of the mainland countries were surging, and each survey was heralding the opportunity to take the lead.
And Shen Yun was sweating profusely, constantly dreaming, and was having nightmares.
