The two younger brothers were thrown into the carriage.
Ling Fengxiao took a step forward, and then protected Lin Shu into the carriage.
As a sword cultivator in the tribulation period, Lin Shu received the treatment of people who couldn't take care of themselves in daily life. When he looked up, he saw the jealous eyes of the two brothers.
Since ancient times, the younger brother seems to be hostile to his brother-in-law, even the distant cousin Xiao Xuan.
Lin Shu not only did not feel sad because of this, but also felt a little bit of anticipation.
My sister was snatched by my brother-in-law, and my sister is not my sister at all, or the latter will cause more pain.
The carriage stalked forward, went south, entered the boundary of Liangzhou, then went up Fenghuang Mountain, and stopped in front of the boundary monument of Fenghuang Villa.
Phoenix Villa is still as majestic and beautiful, with red and black architectural keynotes, solemn and solemn, a bit more solemn than the Southern Xia Royal Capital.
Ling Fengxiao played with Lin Shu's fingers and said, "I haven't seen Baoqing for a long time, and I miss him a lot."
Lin Shu thought of the lively girls from Phoenix Villa, and felt that there was no news from them for a long time.
Several of them are the direct disciples of the owner of Phoenix Village. They are orphans from all over the world. They are not related to Ling Fengxiao by blood, but they grew up together and are better than blood relatives.
Get off the carriage and enter the mountain gate.
The open space in front of the main hall of Phoenix Mountain Villa is made of stone, and the whole body is dark black, with the vermilion phoenix totem carved on it.
In the totem is a phoenix flapping its wings and swimming in the nine days, surrounded by clouds and blazing fire. According to Ling Fengxiao, such totems are scattered all over the halls, beams, and walls of Phoenix Villa.
At first glance, the color of totem vermilion seems to be flowing, like flowing blood or cinnabar.
Ling Fengxiao frowned slightly, leaned over and stroked the totem pattern, and the fingertips were stained with red liquid.
He stopped the silly spore behavior that Xiao Xuan and Henry Zhang also wanted to observe, and showed Lin Shu his finger. Lin Shu picked it up with his fingertips, the vermilion color, I couldn't smell it, it was weird, maybe it was paint.
They continued to move forward with their attendants, and the palace tower was towering, giving people a heavy oppression.
Ling Fengxiao frowned slightly, and had some ominous premonition about Lin Shudao.
Immortal cultivators' premonitions, especially in the realm of Ling Fengxiao, have to be taken seriously. Lin Shubian listed with him what dangers he might encounter in Phoenix Villa.
Beixia attacked violently? impossible.
It is possible that the Queen and Ling Fengxiao broke up.
Ling Fengxiao pondered for a while, then said to Lin Shu, "If someone in the villa wants to attack me with the divine arrow of Yiri..."
The Yiri Divine Arrow is now in the Queen's hands, so Ling Fengxiao said that he was prepared for the worst.
Lin Shu: "... huh?"
"At that time... when the divine arrow is shot, you... must not subconsciously block it." Ling Fengxiao said, "I will protect myself and not die."
Lin Shu thought about it and nodded.
He has recently been comprehending "the thoughts of his life" and knows that sometimes, protecting or saving a person will become an instinct, a subconscious action... even if this action will bring devastating consequences to himself.
He didn't know if protecting Ling Fengxiao had become his instinct, but he knew that at this time, he couldn't cause trouble or delay Ling Fengxiao. He had to remember to always trust Ling Fengxiao.
After saying this, Ling Fengxiao seemed to feel a little more at ease, and they continued to move forward.
Several disciples of the Phoenix Villa saluted, said "Miss", and led them - but Lin Shu looked at the building of the villa and the red-clothed disciples in the building, and always felt that the villa today was more empty than the last time he came. Many, many fewer disciples.
The old emperor of Bei Xia was almost old, and he was inconvenient to move and was sick.
After so many years of confrontation between the North and the South, I never thought that the moment of negotiating peace and surrender, and reunification, would come so quickly—just as no one thought that the power of one person could actually determine the success or failure of a war.
The place to meet the Beixia messenger is the sacrificial roof in the central area of the villa. The owner of Phoenix Village has been waiting for a long time, and the important officials of Nanxia and several suzerains of the immortal sect are also in place.
The lineup of Bei Xia messengers also gave Nan Xia enough face, including Bei Xia's Minister of Arms and Arms, and even the protector of the original great witch.
After the complicated virtual ceremony, the book of surrender was read.
Lin Shu's level of classical Chinese is not low, but there are great ups and downs depending on the field. He can read the obscure classics of the Xian family, but these political documents are at a loss.
He only listened to the messenger reading something like "Explain the door, righteousness is bright", and what "but the morality is weak, the greedy and the legacy, the obedience of the discipline, and the failure to lead the great teaching", he did not know what he was talking about until "heaven." Once the power is shocking, the number of people and ghosts can return to their ability, and they are afraid of the king and master" and "God and martial arts are the second, dare not change the face, obey the order" and other words, only then can I intuitively understand the central idea.
He tried hard to understand classical Chinese, but when he saw Ling Fengxiao who was beside him raise his eyebrows, he said, "Baby."
Lin Shu also spoke expressionlessly: "Huh?"
Ling Fengxiao said: "Baby, you said... Xijiang obeys Beixia. Today Beixia surrenders, the jade seal is handed over, and the world is ruled. Is it a matter of luck and unity?"
Lin Shu: "I think it counts."
Ling Fengxiao: "I have already held Nanxia's royal pen on behalf of me, and today I will take over the imperial jade seal of the Northern Xia Dynasty. Don't I want to be the emperor for a short time?"
Lin Shu: "You can just see if the fate of the Emperor will affect the Phoenix bloodline."
Ling Fengxiao: "Also."
The surrender letter was extremely long, and the Beixia officials read it with trepidation in the face of Ling Fengxiao.
However, no one knows that one person can block a million teachers. His highness Fengyang, who is so disgusting, Zhenghe, who only appears in legends, the mysterious and inhumane sword pavilion master, uses voice transmission to narrate. babble babble.
Ling Fengxiao said that Xiao Lingyang would be forced to become emperor.
Lin Shu said what about Xiao Xuan.
Ling Fengxiao felt that Xiao Xuan couldn't do it, he didn't want to marry a wife, and it was useless to be an emperor, and the next generation still had no heir.
Lin Shu thought about it, Xiao Lingyang's sexual orientation seemed to be more normal than Xiao Xuan's.
However, Ling Fengxiao said that Xiao Xuan should not be allowed to be idle either - give him a king, Xiao Lingyang was raised by the queen and was lacking in dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty, but Xiao Xuan often followed his father in and out of the court. help.
How to make Xiao Xuan willing to attack Henry Zhang? You can't tell him that this was originally planned, to make him think that if he doesn't do this, he can only become emperor.
Lin Shu was shocked by this person's bad stomach, and secretly slandered.
But they didn't expect that they are now in the process of Divine Sense sound transmission, and what they think will be passed on.
Ling Fengxiao: "???"
Lin Shu coughed lightly, looked away, and looked elsewhere.
The poor Beixia official who was reading the document thought that something was wrong with him, and he was even more trembling.
The surrender letter was finally read, and the ceremony followed.
The solemn music was played, and the former prime minister of Beixia knelt down in front of Ling Fengxiao, holding a white jade plate in which was a bronze seal with a dragon engraved on it.
At the ceremony of enthronement, the new emperor often has to take over the royal seal of the country from a respected old official, and then accept the congratulations from hundreds of officials in exchange for a surrender ceremony.
The Prime Minister of Beixia said: "I am ashamed of the artifact."
His Royal Highness Fengyang's cold white slender jade fingers took over the jade plate, and the simple handover action was nothing deliberately surprising - but it was that the country changed hands.
But listen to him: "Dare to be disrespectful."
Although the voice is light, its meaning is very important.
Time is like an arrow, personnel are like water, rivers are diverted, and the world is divided and merged in an instant.
Hundreds of officials congratulate.
All kinds of sacrificial offerings have been placed on the altar.
Ling Fengxiao was holding the jade plate, Lin Shu was on his right, the great national teacher was on the left, and the officials followed.
But seeing a man dressed in red slowly walking up the high platform, facing the altar of the five-color soil, he said, "Shangfan, Yongji."
The crowd fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Shangfan, Yongji."
Their respectful expressions and their admiring eyes made Lin Shu feel that even if Ling Fengxiao was a woman, no one would object to inheriting the throne at this moment.
After the knock, a clear bird chirping suddenly came from the west.
Lin Shu was startled to realize that at this moment, the clouds in the western sky were so bright that half of the sky turned golden red.
Suddenly, a large flock of birds flew out from the mountains in the west.
There are no ordinary birds such as sparrows, magpies, and crows. They are all rare birds with bright feathers, medium size and graceful posture. There are nearly a hundred species of them.
Hundreds of birds circled into the sky, slowly flying in an almost end-to-end posture, forming a colorful vortex in the sky.
The ancients said that a hundred birds would face the phoenix, is that true
The crowd started to discuss, and they all said that this was a good omen.
Ling Fengxiao also looked at the sky and said nothing.
Lin Shu thought, in this situation, at this moment, if the phoenix flew again and bowed his head obediently to Ling Fengxiao—then whether it was Xiao Shao or Ling Fengxiao, whether it was a man or a woman, a human or a ghost, immediately You can claim that you are an emperor who has inherited the destiny of heaven, that a country cannot live without a king for a day, that the mandate of heaven cannot be violated, and that he ascends the throne immediately.
The premise is that the person wants to be.
Lin Shu thought well.
The next moment, the phoenix whose tail feathers were as gorgeous as the sunset glow, and the color was as bright red as cinnabar was broken, and as expected, with an ethereal halo, it slowly flew out from the western sky.
People were amazed.
Only Lin Shu knew that this was not some kind of omen from the sky, but that the Empress blew the phoenix flute somewhere in the Phoenix Villa, attracting it.
Ling Fengxiao was expressionless.
The official took over the jade plate of the jade seal of the country, and Ling Fengxiao held Lin Shu expressionlessly, and wanted to walk under the altar.
The attitude is obvious, it has nothing to do with me at this time, and I will not cooperate.
As expected, the phoenix flew towards him. It seemed to be flying very slowly, but in fact it swooped very fast, and in almost a moment, it hung directly above Ling Fengxiao.
Its eyes are black, with some warm luster, staring at Ling Fengxiao, flying lower and lower, then bowing its head tamely towards him, handing out the bird's beak.
Lin Shu could feel the tension in Ling Fengxiao's body.
Ling Fengxiao should have reached out and stroked the bird's beak and accepted its obedience, but he didn't move, just looked at Phoenix indifferently.
Phoenix let out a low cry, as if urging.
Everyone has been stunned, and even the great national teacher is not exempt: "This..."
Lin Shu was suddenly moved.
He frowned, stretched out his hand, and the bronze die transformed by Qingmingdongtian appeared in his hand, trembling wildly.
Lin Shu didn't know what the wind was blowing from this thing, but Divine Sense penetrated in and saw the karma mirror violently rushing left and right in the cave, hitting the wall, and knocking the lapis lazuli wall into deep cracks, as if trying hard Wanting to go out, the senior brother quickly chased after it, trying to restrain it.
- This reminded Lin Shu of the scene where the mirror faintly appeared in front of him last night. He felt extremely uneasy. He held the bronze dice and looked at Ling Fengxiao who was very close to him, thinking whether he should tell him about it.
- At this moment, the unease in his heart suddenly magnified!
At that moment, the blood all over his body coagulated, and his breathing was unstoppable. After his heart stopped beating for a beat, he suddenly jumped wildly!
His pupils shrank, and a tyrannical pressure from heaven and earth locked him, making him unable to move half a point, and this feeling was infinitely magnified, and there were even colorful and messy phantoms in front of him, like an illusion when he was about to die!
In the distance, there seems to be a flying light shooting towards him, like a white rainbow penetrating the sun, unstoppable.
It's too late, it's fast, all this happens in an instant.
A red shadow flickered before his eyes.
A dull sound.
Five tones, five colors and five flavors, all of them seemed to have left the forest in an instant.
The next moment, his consciousness gradually returned to the cage.
Ling Fengxiao stood in front of him.
A sinister, pale, bone-like arrow tip pierced through Ling Fengxiao's left back.
- It means that there is an arrow that penetrated Ling Fengxiao's left chest, where the heart is.
What is the arrow
Of course it was... the arrow of the god of the sun.
Ling Fengxiao's figure was a little unstable, Lin Shu hugged him and saw a long thin and long bone arrow firmly nailed to Ling Fengxiao's left chest.
Ling Fengxiao didn't seem to have reacted yet, so she looked down at her chest, and slowly held the nock with her left hand.
At that moment, Lin Shu suddenly saw the sinister intention behind the arrow.
If it goes towards Ling Fengxiao, maybe it will work, maybe not.
But if it was going towards Lin Shu, Ling Fengxiao would block it.
Not using magic to defend, not pulling out the sheath to block it.
At the moment of life and death, subconsciously, he would stand in front of Lin Shu.
It's not a phantom body, it's not an ethereal blood mist, at that moment, he may have forgotten everything. Only a flesh and blood body in intuition can block the light and shadow of the sword.
Lin Shu's fingers trembled slightly as he tried Ling Fengxiao's pulse.
They made an appointment when they went up the mountain, the arrow headed towards Ling Fengxiao, and Lin Shu did not block it.
But he didn't mention that when this mortal arrow headed towards Lin Shu... Ling Fengxiao subconsciously, what would happen
All wrong.
