Xia Ji walked under the moonlight of the ancient temple. Most of the masters of the Great Light Temple were meditating in the Great Sun Hall. Although there were many bright monks in the Hall of All Living Beings here, no one could discover him. After all, no one would have thought that someone would actually do it. Don't steal mystical skills, but steal scriptures.
What's the use of stealing scriptures
Xia Ji came quietly and left quietly.
Tomorrow, the monk of Daguangming Temple will discover the missing scriptures, but he is already thousands of miles away.
After stepping into the wilderness, he raised his hand and saw a huge shadow cast from the sky in the moonlight.
The golden eagle descended from the sky and crawled at his feet.
Who said you have to take a horse-drawn carriage to go south
He stepped onto the eagle and flapped its wings.
The big eagle immediately flapped its wings and flew up.
It was late at night.
The spring is cold and the night wind is biting.
Xia Ji sat on the back of the eagle, and the remaining distance was point to point. He could ignore all routes and reach the south as quickly as possible.
This is what he wants. By the time his eighth sister, who is good at looking at things, wakes up, he has already reached his destination.
She must have laid many ambushes along the way, but sorry, her plans were about to be disrupted.
Xia Ji sat on the falcon, and from time to time he took out a piece of meat from his dark gold cloak and threw it forward. The falcon raised its head and ate it in one gulp, then galloped towards the south without stopping for a moment.
Now his dark gold cloak has expanded to three cubic meters, which contains a string of three thousand worlds, a string of thousand and eight dharma realms, a string of one hundred and eight troubles, and twenty fourteen-piece basic Tathagata rosary beads.
In addition, it also contains his great dark halberd, animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor, as well as some elixirs, food, and many other necessary items.
A sharp eagle cry pierced the sky, and the night and dawn passed again.
Xia Ji passed directly through the mountains and swamps...
After seven days, he completed the eight thousand miles journey and arrived at the north of the river ahead of schedule.
Early spring is when the ice and snow are melting. Looking down from a high place, you can see the roaring waves of the river, heading east and never coming back. It's like a great regret in life that can never be made up for.
The falcon circled in the clouds several times, and Xia Ji observed the scenery below. He was not in a hurry to enter the city, but rode the falcon to overlook it from a high place, so that he could see clearly and realistically.
Normally, he and this harpy would camp out on the top of the mountain.
In the early spring, there were many wild animals in the mountains and forests. He hunted some hares and the like and made barbecue. He ate half of it himself and gave the remaining half to the harpy as a reward. At night, he took out his tent and rested in it. Then he took out the books from Daguangming Temple and continued reading at night.
This usually goes on for two days.
On the third day, at dawn, a huge five-toothed warship was breaking through the waves of the river. The warship was built with five floors and was more than a hundred feet high. Flags and streamers were fluttering like clouds and brocade.
The middle-aged man standing at the bow of the ship is wearing a dragon robe and has an extraordinary temperament. He looks around as if he is looking down at the world.
Xia Ji recognized the emperor at a glance - Xia Taiqian.
He came to see the emperor.
The plank road was built to cross Chencang secretly, but now it can be considered a success.
There must have been many obstacles on the way for the prince to come, but these have nothing to do with him.
He has found his target, so he is waiting to meet the target.
Xia Taigan stood on the bow deck of the ship, accompanied by several guards in brocade clothes.
The waves were rolling, and the emperor suddenly raised his head and glanced at the golden clouds. Xia Ji patted the hawk demon's head and let it fly high.
One eagle and one boat, one in the sky and one in the water, moving forward together like this.
Snap.
The Five Tooth warship docked at the largest dock in the northern city, and many soldiers lined up to greet it.
Xia Ji waited patiently. He had too many questions and needed to question the emperor.
At night.
The emperor has moved into the temporary palace.
The moon is bright tonight.
The emperor dismissed all the guards and then quietly tasted wine in the courtyard.
The hawk demon flapped its wings, and a strong wind blew on the ground, making people squint their eyes slightly to avoid the wind and sand.
And at this moment, Xia Ji had jumped down from a high place and landed on the glazed tiles of the eaves of the palace.
The emperor was pouring wine, and the icy brilliance of the moon clearly showed that there were two glasses of wine.
"coming?"
Xia Ji didn't hide, he jumped down from the glazed tiles and stood in the courtyard.
The emperor looked calm, as if he was not surprised that he was here. Instead, he pointed to the other side of the stone table and said calmly: "Sit down."
Xia Ji didn't move.
The emperor raised his eyes and said: "You and I are known as father and son. We have been together for eighteen years, so we are destined to be together. Let's sit down and have a chat first."
Xia Ji asked: "Did you kill my mother?"
"Yes, I absorbed her power, and she died directly as a result."
Xia Ji's tone was already very calm, "Reason."
"reason?"
A hint of joking appeared on the corner of the emperor's lips. He murmured the "reason" several times, and then laughed with a slightly crazy expression. After laughing, there was no movement of the guards in the distance.
The emperor hoarsely said: "I am the only one in the palace, and all the guards have been driven out by me. I have already seen you on the warship today, so I have been waiting for you tonight."
Xia Ji looked at him quietly.
The emperor said: "If you ask me the reason, then I will tell you today... I knew one thing before I ascended the throne."
He waved to Xia Ji to come closer.
But Xia Ji didn't move.
The emperor shook his head and laughed, his smile was extremely ferocious: "Lao Qi, do you know that I can't actually have children. None of you are my children! Except for those of the same mother, no one else is related by blood!"
He asked with a trembling smile: "Do you know how I feel in the palace?"
Without waiting for Xia Ji to answer, he directly roared: "The bird in the cage!"
Then, he drank two glasses of wine and said, "Do you know what a cage is?"
Then, he roared: "A family with thousands of years of history!"
"Do you know how I came to the position when I was not the prince?"
"The aristocratic family killed the prince and all the other princes, and put me, a puppet, on the throne."
"Do you know why the noble family wants me to be in the position?"
"Because I was the most low-key among the original princes, the one who seemed to be the most manipulative, and the one who was infertile."
"Do you know why a noble family wants a sterile emperor?"
The emperor became more and more crazy, with a smile in his tone.
But this smile is a little penetrating.
"Because they want to seize the world. Do you understand what the essence of Kowloon's seizing the direct descendants is? The essence... The essence is to divide the world among aristocratic families. But the aristocratic families do not leave waste, so except for a few concubines, you don't know, The family just wants to see which of you has the strongest ability."
Every word of the emperor is a shocking secret.
But he still had more to say, drinking glass after glass of fine wine.
"Xia Ji, do you know how I feel about you
I want every one of you to die, every one of you to die miserably.
So, why do I care about this world
The more shabby this world is, the happier I feel in my heart!
What does the alien invasion have to do with me, and what does the common people have to do with me!
Can ordinary people be considered human beings? Are there anyone else in this world besides these thousand-year-old families
Driving tigers and devouring wolves, and watching aristocratic dogs bite dogs, are my greatest pleasures. "
"By the way, do you know why I want to see you and why I have to tell you so much?"
Xia Ji said calmly: "You think you have the confidence to beat me."
"No, let's not fight yet. I just want to tell you something. You will be happy to hear it."
The emperor leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Your mother was abandoned by the master of the family, so I will deal with her.
You and your sister were also abandoned, so I left you in the imperial capital.
What's even more interesting is that you have been labeled as a demon and anomaly. They see that you are capable and want you to be a greedy wolf to achieve their goals. "
"What purpose?"
"I don't know either. What I know is that I want to share this happiness with you, because you are the same as me, no matter how hard you struggle, you are still a bird in this cage and can't fly out, hahahahaha."
