At some point, King Xia had already left his seat and stood up, pointing a curved knife at Guan Longzi's chest.
"I heard that the sage's heart has seven orifices. I wonder if it's yours?" King Xia's voice was distant and indifferent.
When the tip of the knife was picked, a heart jumped out and there was still heat.
Guan Longzi's heart is not much different from that of ordinary people, and he doesn't have any seven orifices.
And he slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and finally passed away.
A heart fell into the dust, and King Xia said calmly: "Someone, throw him out to feed the dogs."
Two guards appeared silently, both with iron masks and black armor, and took Guan Longzi and the heart away.
When they arrived at the kennel, two guards threw Guan Longzi's body and heart in. His body was quickly torn apart by a group of hounds, but the heart seemed to be poisonous, and no hound was willing to eat it.
King Xia said he would feed it to dogs, but they could not feed it to others. Just leaving this heart behind obviously failed to complete the mission.
At this time, an old man who was blind in one eye and lame in one leg walked in. He was holding a sickly and skinny dog. A lot of the black hair on the body was peeled off, revealing the sickly skin, which was extremely ugly.
When the dog saw the heart, it suddenly barked, jumped out of the old man's arms, went straight to the kennel, and finally devoured the heart. Then it foamed at the mouth, and finally all the blood vessels in its body burst, and it died.
The guard didn't care so much. Since he saw that the dog had eaten the heart, he went back to recover.
The old man squatted in front of the dead dog, patted its bloody body, and chuckled eerily. The other dogs retreated far away, curled up, and let out soft whimpers.
The old man had been feeding the dogs in the kennel for a long time. He was so old that many people in the palace could not remember it. However, after one day, all the dogs in the kennel died, and the old man disappeared.
When a palace official took charge of the dog carcasses and compared them with the recorded dogs, they found that one was missing. It was also the most precious dog in the kennel. It was said to be a purebred Tengu, as noble as the Phoenix or the Kirin. species.
It's just that no one reported it in the end. After all, no one wanted to cause trouble. Anyway, all the dogs in the kennel were dead.
… …
Meixi was let go by King Xia. She was originally a sweet daughter of the Shi family, and she had been doted on by King Xia since she entered the palace. King Xia almost never refused her request, but she always knew in her heart that King Xia was ruthless, until she saw After Guan Longzi's fate, she became even more convinced of this.
Now that King Xia has let go of her, she is filled with fear. The dancer who has been carefully trained is reduced to ashes. The great scholar Guan Longzi is also dead. Will it be her turn next
Meixi's eyes were filled with autumn water, which was charming, like a frightened rabbit, trembling.
King Xia used the tip of his scimitar to pick up her chin. There was no blood on it, but Meixi seemed to smell the smell of blood. It was Guan Longzi's blood, and there might be her blood in the next moment.
"Are you scared?" King Xia asked quietly.
Meixi didn't dare to nod or shake her head, she just said: "I don't dare, I."
King Xia stared at her with an extremely affectionate look and said, "You look just like the person I love most."
Mei Xi was about to cry. She knew that if King Xia really had any affection for her because of this, he would have to kill her. As loyal as Guan Longzi was, King Xia did not hesitate to kill her and even took her away. Feeding dogs is really inhumane.
But she couldn't die, not only for herself, but also for her own flesh and blood.
King Xia laughed and said, "But I won't kill you."
The curved knife disappeared, just like Meixi didn't know how it appeared.
Mei Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
King Xia said: "Do you know why I don't kill you?"
Sister Xi timidly said: "I don't know, I don't know."
King Xia said: "Of course it's not because you are pregnant with my flesh and blood."
Mei Xi's face turned pale, and she knelt down suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I know where Yunyang is. Please let this child go. I beg you."
King Xia smiled coldly, raised his leg, and kicked Mei Xi's abdomen with his toes. Immediately, a large pool of blood flowed out from the base of her leg. Mei Xi lay exhausted on the ground, looking pale.
"get out."
Meixi left the execution platform and Diqiu at a loss. She didn't understand why King Xia didn't kill her. At the same time, her heart was full of resentment towards King Xia, but she didn't know what to do.
After Mei Xi left, the night also fell, and the cold moon in the sky shone silently on King Xia.
King Xia also looked directly at the cold moon, and heard a clear female voice in his ears, "Kill your most loyal minister, kill your own flesh and blood, but I still don't know whether you have lost your love."
"Is this important?" King Xia whispered.
"Of course it's important. If you haven't achieved the Demonic Way of Killing Love, how can I dare to cooperate with you?" If someone looks at Leng Yue from the perspective of King Xia, they will feel that there seems to be a graceful fairy inside, and they can't see it in the hazy moonlight. True.
"The moon waxes and wanes, but the sun is always perfect, so I never have any flaws." King Xia replied in a low voice.
"It's best like this, otherwise even if you get the complete inheritance of the Yuanshi Demon, you won't be able to dodge his immortal-killing flying knife. Do you understand?" The moonlight spread like a soft gauze on King Xia's body, and finally turned into a fairy with a beautiful face. She hugged King Xia gently from behind and whispered into his ear like a lover.
King Xia pulled her hand away, turned to look at her, and said, "I don't like your tone very much. Do you understand?"
The fairy smiled softly and stopped talking.
… …
Shen Lian became the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he was not busy, because he had a wisdom as vast and unfathomable as God, and had the means of spring breeze and rain, and he was not overpowering. Even the most humble commoners could get peace and peace. Treat everyone else the same. From Shen Lian, many people truly understand that all living beings are equal.
At the same time, Shen Lian controlled everything in the country and made the people believe that there would be a good harvest in the coming year.
A good harvest is not important to the practitioners, but it is important to the people of the Zhou Dynasty.
After all, there are only a few monks who do not eat the fireworks of the world. Among all living beings, most of them are mortals and cannot live without the grains of the world.
A butterfly fluttered into the palace where Shen Lian lived, and finally turned into a human form and bowed to Shen Lian.
This butterfly demon is called Liu Shibei, and he is naturally proficient in the art of illusion. After taking refuge with Shen Lian, he is often able to hang out in many places because of his natural talent, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to Diqiu to inquire about some important information.
When Shen Lian saw him, he said, "You even used the sword talisman I gave you, and you came all the way back. It must not be simple."
Liu Shibei said: "Report to your Majesty, King Xia has newly married a woman, whom she calls the imperial concubine. Her origins are mysterious and unpredictable. It is said that her magical powers are no less than those of you and Tianyi."
Shen Lian nodded and said, "Go down. I believe you have other news, so I'll hand it over to the specialized intelligence department. After the matter is handed over, you can come see me again. I have something else to tell you."
Liu Shibei took the order and left.
Shen Lian took out a pen and put it on the white paper in front of his desk. He paused writing for a long time. Finally, he suddenly started writing and sketched an ink painting with green mountains and green water. The most important thing is that beyond the green mountains, there is a round The new moon is as curved as a beautiful woman’s eyebrow.
He had already known about King Xia's newly married queen, but he had never been able to figure out the origin. It was only now that he had some clues. At the same time, he secretly lamented that his foundation was still too shallow and he had too few available talents.
Li Yuanliang and the four of them were okay in terms of ability, but their understanding and aura were still far behind when it came to adapting to situations.
It would be much better if the Qingxuan Dao Sect was behind the support at this time. After all, Qingxuan's introductory disciples, especially those who came through the Wenxin Road, all have excellent qualifications and opportunities, and they each practice different Taoist techniques and have different temperaments. Can help him a lot.
But now that the two worlds are separated, he can't find the specific coordinates of Qingxuan Earth Star, so this idea can only be forgotten.
