Waiting is the most frustrating thing.
However, in many cases, even in the eyes of many people, even if he is already so high that he seems to have been separated from the existence of the mundane world, he is still extremely insignificant about the unknowable fate.
No matter how tall they stand, there is still a sky above their heads that they need to look up to. In front of many things, they can only wait.
As the snow melts, Changling enters the beginning of spring from the great cold.
In Zhou's ink garden, the buds of some winter jasmine flowers have turned yellow, but there are still many ice floes floating in the pond full of withered lotus leaves.
A girl in eggplant-colored brocade clothes walked into this small courtyard under the guidance of Zhou Xinyi.
This girl's name is Zhou Susang, a descendant of the Zhou family's collateral line, and her family is in Kuaiji County. Because of her talent for cultivation, she began to practice in Jiunian Sword Sect in Kuaiji County a few years ago. This is her first time in Changling, let alone Zhou Jiamo In addition, I heard that the ancestor of the Zhou family summoned the girl. It can be said that this girl was extremely nervous and apprehensive. Countless bad guesses kept swirling in her heart, and beads of sweat kept dripping from her palms.
The ancestor of the Zhou family sat on a soft couch covered with brocade that was smoother than the girl's skin. His silver hair was still neatly combed, and the coat on his body covered his abdomen. When he was in this hall, his eyes were still full of many negative emotions, resentment, unwillingness, greed, ruthlessness... However, when Zhou Xieyi's voice of greetings sounded and the girl walked in, all these emotions disappeared. His countenance became extremely kind and kind again.
"Don't be nervous. I called you here because there is a secret technique on the fragment of the freehand brushwork. However, this secret technique is only suitable for women to practice."
Looking at the girl who was extremely nervous and had many small bumps on her skin, he said in an extremely gentle voice: "And you should be the most suitable candidate for our Zhou family to practice this secret technique at this time. Just practice with peace of mind in the ink garden."
Hearing such words, the girl was at a loss at first, then wept with joy, and fell directly in front of him.
"Get up, my Zhou family is no longer prosperous, and I don't know when I will return home. The burden of continuing the Zhou family in the future must fall on you young people." However, the ancestors of the Zhou family still felt that it was not enough. , and said in a softer tone.
The young girl felt even more affectionate, and when she couldn't cry, she never expected that this kind-faced old man's thoughts were not on her at this time.
Whether this is really a way for women to cultivate, whether the too stagnant Yin Qi can be naturally released with women's menstruation... It only takes a month or two to try it out.
…
The old family of the Zhou family has fallen, and the ancestors of the Zhou family are like worms who are dead but not stiff, lingering on their last days, reaping the new year in vain, but the Fang family of the new Marquis is just like the rising sun, shining brightly.
On the eastern outskirts of Changling, in the secluded courtyard of Fanghou's Mansion, the long hair hangs down like weeds, and the embroidered curtain, which is ragged and even worse than a beggar, still sits withered in front of the Bitan.
The spring water that forms this bitan is a hot spring, exuding lukewarm heat.
Among the green grass in Bitan, there are several red carps swimming.
Everyone, including the practitioners of the Fang family who walked into this secluded courtyard, thought that Fang Xiumu was watching the fish and comprehending the sword intent.
However, no one thought that what Fang Xiumu was watching was birth, old age, sickness and death.
The red carp has always been taken care of by the maids in the courtyard, but it is no longer the same as it was more than ten years ago. Even though the spring water is clear, there are still countless unknown reasons that make the fish weaken and die.
In addition to these swimming fish, he also saw many more subtle things, and saw some extremely small insects in the Bitan.
Insects are born, aged, sick and died, and their life time is even shorter.
For example, some mosquitoes in summer only have a lifespan of more than ten days in a lifetime cycle.
Such a cycle naturally contains true meaning, and contains the principle of the birth and death of vitality.
Practitioners in Changling didn't know Fang Xiumu's true cultivation level, but with some clues, they judged that he might only be at the top of the sixth realm, not the seventh realm.
At this time, only those dignitaries with extremely high positions and who can get close to the king's side, through a decree of the emperor, deduced that his cultivation base may have surpassed Ye Celeng and others, and had crossed the middle rank of the seven realms.
However, the fact is that his cultivation at this time is still at the top of the sixth realm.
The even more shocking fact is that ten years ago, he had actually seen the way to break through.
In other words, since ten years ago, as long as he wants, he can directly enter the seventh realm at any time.
It's just that he deliberately stayed in front of the gate of the Seven Realms for another ten years.
After ten years of waiting and accumulation, what difference will he make from the rest of the seven realm practitioners once he breaks through
It seemed that only he knew.
However, at this time, he received a holy will.
Emperor Yuanwu "requested" him to attend the Lushan League with him.
This means that Emperor Yuanwu knew it too.
Su Xiumu didn't know why Emperor Yuanwu knew it too, but it broke his state of mind.
This decree is said to be a request, but it is actually an order.
The holy will wants him to break through.
Let his sword, which has been tempered for many years, open up and cut a new sky for the Great Qin Dynasty.
In addition, perhaps there is a deeper meaning hidden in this holy will.
It is hard to violate the holy will.
Only broken.
"It's only half a minute away from spring."
Su Xiumu hesitated for a few days, trying to understand the deep meaning that might be hidden in it. He knew that he couldn't wait any longer. At the beginning of spring, he sighed softly and pushed open the door.
Countless breaths of spring bloomed from his body in an instant.
All of a sudden, countless flowers bloomed in the courtyard.
Even the peony, which is afraid of the cold, suddenly blooms to the most colorful splendor.
…
In the early morning, Ding Ning, who was eating noodles with Xue Wangxu, Zhang Yi, and Shen Yi, was also waiting with a noodle bowl.
Just as if nothing happened.
Fan Zhuo, who died in the temporary duck-breeding village, disappeared like an insignificant quack in Changling City.
No one from Jiantiansi or Shendujian appeared around Wutongluo.
It seems that no one in Changling is even aware of the death of the great rebel in Yunshui Palace.
It's good news for Ding Ning if he can't wait for anything to happen.
His cultivation of true energy is increasing steadily every day, the beginning of spring has arrived, and he is one step closer to the Minshan Sword Festival in midsummer.
It's just that he still needs more time and things to determine what the head of the high-ranking female company is thinking.
In the cold spring, Su Qin carefully checked his clothes, and then wrapped his left hand with the cleanest white cloth so that his left hand would not look disgusting.
Then he walked out of the guild hall where he had lived for a long time, and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the street.
The carriage is the standard of Changling, but the streets are already the streets of Chengcheng, the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The king of Chu is so flattering, looking around, the countless buildings in Chengcheng are hidden in the greenery, they are all like slim and graceful girls, and the scenery is indescribably exquisite and beautiful.
At this time, Su Qin's eyes fell on a crabapple by the road.
This crabapple is already in full bloom, and the flowers are like rouge.
There was also a smile on Su Qin's face.
He has been waiting for a long time in this beautiful and beautiful Chu capital, which is like two worlds compared with Changling. Today, he finally got the reception of the most powerful woman of the Great Chu Dynasty.
The carriage carried him through the streets and alleys of Chudu, and countless weeping willow branches even gently floated on the carriage.
Many vigilant eyes with various emotions watched the carriage drive into a palace.
In the main hall of this palace hangs a gorgeous bead curtain, behind the bead curtain, the legendary woman can be vaguely seen.
"As a Qin person, you came to Chu to lobby. You have half a cup of tea. If you can't convince me with this half a cup of tea, it means that you and Liling Lord have failed too much. I will kill you, and he will kill you." would not be eligible to come back here."
The woman's voice was soft, but at the same time, there were countless sharp piercings into Su Qin's ears, causing severe pain to his eardrums.
But his face was still calm, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't need half a cup of tea, I just need to say a word."
There was silence behind the bead curtain, waiting for him to speak.
Su Qin said: "As long as you allow him to come back here, you are the queen. You know, the queen has two meanings, and you can have both."
"presumptuous!"
A scolding sound sounded behind the bead curtain.
Because it was too cold and violent, the voice kept reminiscing in the hall, as if countless people were furiously scolding Su Qin for his presumptuousness.
Hou has two meanings, one is mother queen and the other is empress.
Both can have, that is, she can have both identities at the same time.
However, having these two identities at the same time, what a treason!
The woman behind the bead curtain naturally knew the meaning of Su Qin's words very well, that's why she yelled so violently.
It's just that Su Qin's expression didn't change at all, he just bowed deeply, and said calmly: "But this is the biggest promise Li Lingjun can make, and you should also understand that as long as you let him ascend the throne, And he gave you these two identities at the same time, your position here will be more stable, and the relationship between you and him will be more stable."
The woman behind the bead curtain looked at him without making a sound.
Su Qin looked at the ground and knew that he was not dead at this time, and he would not die today, so he said softly with emotion and satisfaction: "You know very well that some people have a lot of time to wait, while some people and some things, but I can't wait."
"Such presumptuous words, those who hear it are already damned."
The woman behind the bead curtain finally spoke out.
A sweet but terrifying murderous intent erupted in the hall.
The bead curtain is broken.
In the hall, several canopies of blood were sprinkled all over the ground.
The maids serving on both sides died instantly.
Thousands of big and small beads splashed on Su Qin's body and the ground around him, jumping endlessly and making pleasant sounds.
Su Qin did not die.
He bent down even lower, and said with a blessing: "You will eventually be the most honorable mistress of the Great Chu Dynasty now and in the future."
