A year later, Xia Ji had completed the task of teaching "Tian Xian" to others.
The Demon Lord also withstood the pressure from the major sects. After all, even with mystical skills and no fire, he still couldn't escape the longevity of mortals, but now the distance between mortals and immortals is slightly closer.
This year is winter again, and Xia Ji no longer has to teach this mysterious skill by himself. After listening to this for a long time, Mr. Gongyang probably knows all the questions that others will ask, and he also knows how the young gentleman answered. He is completely He can reply with his original words, plus some of his own understanding, which is enough to support the Ten Thousand Swords Dojo.
However, the Xuan Gong he teaches has been changed from the original Xuan Gong of Wanjian Sect to "Tian Xian", but the requirements for teaching the profession have not changed. The first thing is to look at the character, and the second thing is to look at the qualifications.
The people in the Daqi Palace were not fools. Gradually, they began to realize that the mysterious and powerful man in the palace was probably not Commander Jin, but the Seventeenth Prince.
However, although they are aware, no one is stupid enough to talk about it. They all pretend to be confused because they understand.
Finally, the monarch Qi Heng found Jin Datong and had a long talk.
But this time, Jin Batian finally took off his burden and began to tell the truth. God knows how tired he is from carrying the pressure for so long.
He confessed.
Qi Heng also understood.
But what Qi Heng doesn't understand is why the seventeenth brother is so powerful
"A person who is born knowing?"
The monarch was sitting in his study, recalling in his mind thirteen years ago, when Fairy Bi of the Five Sects of Qingfeng invaded, she captured everyone and gathered them in the square, and then she died violently. The Seventeenth Prince was only six years old at that time.
And when the investigating elders of the five Qingfeng sects and the original national master died, the seventeenth prince was only three years old, right
At the age of three, he killed the national master and the elders. At the age of six, he silently massacred the powerful men in the thirteen realms.
Qi Heng continued to think...
If the strong man in golden robe pulled by the black dragon that day was also killed by him...
If Wan Jian Sect's change of attitude towards the human dynasty was also caused by him...
this…
Qi Heng couldn't imagine it, but after some thought, from a motivation point of view, the Seventeenth Emperor's brother would definitely do it.
In terms of ability, he felt it was impossible.
But is it possible to kill the national master elder at the age of three
If a child achieves one impossible thing, why not do the second one
Qi Heng rubbed his forehead. He thought about it and couldn't figure it out. For a long time, he could only give an answer. Maybe... the seventeenth emperor's brother was a born saint
"Commander, I will announce to the meeting tomorrow morning..."
"Your Majesty, it's great. I finally don't have to bear the identity of this mysterious powerful man. I'm so tired." Jin Batian breathed a sigh of relief. He had already thought about it. Without this identity, he wanted to relax. , no longer pretend to be cool.
However, Qi Heng smiled and said: "No, no, the commander-in-chief misunderstood me."
Jin Batian:? ?
Qi Heng: "What I mean is to confer the title of General of the State of Qi on the Commander-in-Chief. However, the official system of General has long ceased to have real power, but it is the glory of one person. It is much stronger than the Commander-in-Chief. From now on, no matter how great the Commander-in-Chief is, he will be a great general." In a place like Qi, a chariot, a carriage, a carriage and a driver can be compared to a few people."
Jin Batian said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... I am not that mysterious and powerful man."
Qi Heng smiled and said, "Did Seventeenth Brother ever ask you to tell me?"
"No."
"Aren't you afraid of offending him?"
“…”
"Now the palace is quietly spreading this truth. It's groundless. What if Brother Seventeen thinks that you spread it on purpose? So, I do it for your own good. I will make you a general, just to tell others, In fact, this mysterious master is still you."
Jin Batian:…
Qi Heng said: "General, please go down."
"yes."
Qi Heng retracted his thoughts, took a copy from the hill-like memorial on one side, and began to review it.
The candlelight flickered, and the snow was cold in the depths of winter.
On the quiet path leading to the study, a eunuch carried a lantern and led a young man to the courtyard of the study.
The old eunuch never stepped in, but said respectfully: "Your Highness, the king is waiting for you."
"Um."
Xia Ji responded and stepped in. Seeing that the snow was flat and flawless, he walked around to the eaves from the side, knocked on the door, and walked in after being answered inside.
Qi Heng raised his head, put down his pen and ink and memorial, and started to make tea. While making tea, he said with a smile: "Tea in this world cannot compare to the tea in heaven."
Xia Ji said calmly and tacitly: "The sky is not good, there is nothing. I still like the human world."
Qi Heng paused for a moment and said this.
he asked.
The seventeenth brother admitted it.
very nice.
But Qi Heng still didn't believe it, so he asked again: "The five Qingfeng sects..."
Xia Ji didn't wait for him to finish and said directly: "It's me."
Qi Heng swallowed, "Wan Jian Sect..."
"it's me."
"The one who will come to massacre the city that day..."
"it's me."
Qi Heng shook his hand and the tea spilled out, but it did not hit the ground because Xia Ji waved his hand lightly and the spilled tea was returned to the cup.
Qi Heng seemed to have remembered a lot of things, and shook his head with a wry smile.
Xia Ji said: "What did eldest brother think of?"
Qi Heng said: "It's true that sparrows don't understand swans, and mayflies don't understand dragons. It's ridiculous that in the past in the study room, many royal brothers and sisters still laughed at the seventeenth brother. Many people also said that the seventeenth brother was a nerd. Now it seems that it is really It makes everyone laugh.
The seventeenth brother can now call me brother, and this call will be remembered for my whole life. "
Xia Ji said: "Eldest brother has passed, you and I are brothers."
Qi Heng's eyes moved. He naturally knew that the Seventeenth Brother was not the Daqi royal family at all. He was just an abandoned baby. But the question was whether the Seventeenth Brother knew this.
But whether he knew it or not, he was no longer prepared to mention it.
Xia Ji asked: "Brother, do you want to live forever? After the busy work of Jiangshan Sheji is completed, you can pass it on to future generations, and then practice to surpass the longevity of ordinary people."
Qi Heng paused and shook his head, "No."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Why?"
Qi Heng said: "A few days ago, I read poems until they were like ephemera.
Feeling that although he lives and dies, he can still cultivate his wings.
I don’t know Hui Shuo, I don’t know Spring and Autumn.
If you have enough for one day, what more do you want
Why play in the rivers and lakes instead of wandering around
A crane has a thousand-year lifespan and has reached its limit of swimming; a mayfly has grown thin and has exhausted its joy.
Seventeenth brother, do you think there is any difference? "
Xia Jidao: "There is no difference."
Qi Heng smiled and said: "Then why do you need to seek the way to eternal life and only increase your troubles?"
Xia Ji said: "Good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tea was already brewed.
Qi Heng shared a cup of tea with Xia Ji. The two brothers in this life talked about it, but they didn't talk about anything. Since they had different paths in the past and will have different paths in the future, why bother asking each other
This is just a conversation that sits in the long river of time. Once it has happened, it is enough.
…
Just when Xia Ji left the monarch's study, another palace maid came running. This palace maid was from Concubine Chan's palace.
Xia Ji followed her, and when she reached the door, the palace maid retreated, and a shadow was reflected behind the window.
Xia Ji pushed the door open, smiled, and called, "Mom."
Hua Xiaochan's side was empty, so she called out: "Xiao Yu, come and sit down."
Xia Ji sat next to her.
Hua Xiaochan said: "I'm going back to Hua's house."
Xia Ji said: "Okay."
Hua Xiaochan suddenly said: "You don't have to come. The Hua family is a secular family. If you go back, I'm afraid I will torture you to death. But the mother is more valuable than the son. The queen is also very good to me at this time. I went back to the Hua family. From now on, the Hua family will take good care of me and I can live happily for the rest of my life. After all, this is where I grew up. And because of you, no one will bully me anymore."
"Mother..."
"Xiaoyu, you have your own world, don't be bound by me, go wherever you want...
Sister Wu should be from the same world as you, right? Then Sister Wu will go with you.
I still remember the heavy snowfall more than 20 years ago. I saw Sister Wu wandering on the streets. At that time, I was still a little girl. I was not having a good life in the Hua family and was sent to get married.
At that time, I was also angry, thinking that this time I went to the capital of Da Qi, I would definitely make a name for myself, and then I would not go home or pay attention to them, and I would be angry with those who had treated me badly.
But I never thought that I would almost be thrown into the cold palace, and I never thought that because a mother is more valuable than a son, I would turn over again, and now I want to go back.
Man, the leaves have fallen back to their roots, the palace courtyard is too deep and too cold... "
Xia Ji did not ask, "Mom, how much do you know?" nor did he ask, "Mom, do you want to practice?"...
Because these are all nonsense, Hua Xiaochan has already made her own choice. If she really wanted to practice, she would have said so long ago.
The question is, how much does she know
Maybe she already knew he was not her son.
That's why she didn't want to go to the Hua family by herself, because the Hua family had nothing to do with him.
It is precisely because she raised him that she really regarded him as her son in her heart, so she wanted him to be free from restraints, leave this place, and become the dragon that goes out to sea, no longer restrained.
Xia Ji didn't know whether he should ask.
But Hua Xiaochan seems to have already answered.
She turned sideways, hugged the young man in her arms, and said softly: "Mom, with a child like you, I can brag to others in this life. Go ahead, my mother's life span has already reached half, and you have only just begun."
Xia Jidao: "My parents are here, so I won't travel far."
Hua Xiaochan said: "Of course, there must be a way to travel."
“…”
"Go, my child, although mother has no cultivation, she will always silently pray for you at Hua's house, silently bless you, wish you peace, success, and happiness.
I wish you... find your family.
In this life, my mother is satisfied to meet you. "
Mother and son hugged each other, the candlelight was warm, and the soft yellow light filled the cold palace.
Xia Ji took a deep breath and felt the touching warmth at this time.
That's why he is attached to the world.
Because every mother and son will be like this, even if they are not like this, their hearts are still close.
In the blink of an eye, countless people were wiped out into ashes. Who knows how many pairs of mothers and children, how many pairs of relatives among those many people
Therefore, his heart will never change.
Therefore, he deeply loves the world.
…
…
Outside the west city, five thousand elite soldiers have lined up. These are not only soldiers who will escort Concubine Chan back to Hua's family, but will also become her direct subordinates and stay in the city where Hua's family is located, listening to her orders.
King Qi Heng granted Xia Ji the title of King of Zhen, and had people carry out the imperial edict to build the Zhen King's Palace in the city where Hua's family is located, allowing Hua Xiaochan to live in it. He also allocated an unknown amount of gold and silver, and even more fine ones. The maids of the palace serve as maids, and the masters of the imperial court serve as bodyguards.
In addition, Qi Heng even directly gave one party a death-free gold medal. In other words, no matter what happens to Hua Xiaochan in the future, even if she rebels, nothing will happen.
Naturally, as Hua Xiaochan said, it is the mother who is more valuable than the son.
In addition, Xia Ji's reputation as a young master has spread all over the north of Yunzhou. There are many disciples in the world, and who dares to provoke Hua Xiaochan
She has indeed enjoyed the best treatment of a royal concubine.
At this time, winter has passed, spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and willows are lingering.
Xia Ji stood by the bridge, said goodbye to his mother in this life, and turned around.
Behind him were Xiao Su and Mengmeng.
There are more and more memory fragments in Xiao Su's mind.
Mengmeng has almost become a cardamom girl with beautiful gray crystal eyes.
The wind blows the sun and thousands of flowers bloom.
"where are we going?"
"Go to Wanjian Sect."
He raised his hand and waved, riding the wind and clouds, and headed east with the two of them.
…
…
The three of them walked through Zhike Cliff.
The disciples on duty in the cliff top pavilion recognized Xia Ji and respectfully said in unison: "Little sir."
It was completely different from the first time he arrived. These disciples on duty did not stop him at all, nor did they inform him, and simply allowed him to fly to Wanjian Sect.
Colorful neon clouds rolled under my feet, and I could vaguely see that the mountains were already green in spring.
In an instant, the three of them set foot on the sect's land.
Bai Su knew he was coming and came out to receive him warmly. She had given up. After all, in the past two years, the name of the young gentleman had spread throughout Yunzhou, and his actions were the same as those of the master 1,500 years ago. resemblance.
The Master wrote the "Book of Ten Thousand Dharmas" and he transmitted the "Tian Xian".
And how high is the level of this "Tian Xian"
From her own perspective, she might still be in the dark, but when she saw that the Demon Lord "holds the sky with one hand and would offend all the sects for this little gentleman," she could figure it out.
After a brief conversation, knowing that Xia Ji came to see the Demon Lord, Bai Su led the three of them to the living room, and then went to inform the sect master Chunshan Jun, who then reported to the Demon Lord.
The three of them drank tea for a while, and heard footsteps in the distance.
Xu Lingling walked to the living room alone. Just when she was about to say something, she glanced away and was completely stunned when she saw the person next to Xia Ji.
Her eyes were wide open, her mouth was slightly open, then she shook her head violently, rubbed her eyes again, and looked carefully, but found that she was right, that person was still the same person.
Xia Ji knew that she recognized Xiao Su.
Because he asked her to send a letter to Xiao Su back then.
But what he didn't know was that Xu Lingling not only sent the letter, but also spent a long time with Xiao Su, and even got great benefits from the Wolf Snake and Death Church. Otherwise, she would not be so talented despite her superior qualifications. Overwhelm a continent.
Later, during the catastrophe of mountains and rivers, Xu Lingling happened to be outside, and the mountains and rivers collapsed and the continental plates moved. Only then did she separate from the pope behind the ice and snow country in the north. Then she found Yu Long and Du Bai and joined them. Wan Jian Zong.
When Xiao Su saw the fat and tall woman looking at him, he couldn't help showing doubts and murmured: "You... know me?"
Xu Lingling wanted to blurt it out, but Xia Ji said instead: "Fellow Taoist, there are many volcanoes in the paradise, and there are wolves and snakes in the land of ice and snow. The world has changed, and we have met again."
Xu Lingling's eyes widened even more, and she couldn't believe her ears.
"Who are you… "
Xia Ji said: "You and I both have the Tao, but they are different. Originally, only one person can follow a Tao. It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other. Isn't that good?"
Xu Lingling is no longer the little girl she was 1,500 years ago. She is now the demon king suppressing one side. She remained silent for a long time, then smiled and said respectfully: "Be kind."
