Su Qin stepped on the rotten dead leaves and the mummified corpses of the poisons, walked out of the forest at night, and walked towards the ancestral temple of the Qi Dynasty in the distance.
The ancestral temple was lit day and night with ever-burning lanterns, and when the night got darker and the lights of distant villages were extinguished, those lights would better guide him.
Since he was kidnapped from Chudu by the Qis people, and gained the Qis people's practice experience and the means to fight against the enemy, he has never had any rest except for practice. Even though his strength has improved a lot after each practice, but The body aches and many other adverse reactions had reminded him that he needed to stop.
However, he didn't even care about the rotten smell in his body, so how could he care about it.
His body was dominated by an inexplicable frenzy, and he would stop and rest only after he got there, killed the person he wanted to kill, and got what he wanted.
…
It was cold and damp in the Jongmyo.
It is so humid that even the tablets enshrined inside will naturally breed mildew.
Therefore, the abandoned emperor who is here behind closed doors must carefully wipe all the tablets enshrined in the ancestral temple every time.
The emperor who first established this rule should think that if the future generations make mistakes, when he reflects here, he looks at the tablets of the ancestors every day, and he will naturally think of the stories related to them in his heart, and he will naturally think of the future generations. their reviews.
It's just that the emperor probably didn't think clearly.
None of the high-ranking emperors who were in office would be willing to enter this place to reflect, and even if the emperors who entered this place to reflect clearly, there is almost no hope of going out to regain power.
This is not a place for leisure.
For a deposed emperor who voluntarily gave up his throne to apologize, there is no more desolate place to go.
Moreover, even if the new emperor's ascension to the throne is for the sake of brilliance on the face, he must ensure the safety of the deposed emperor.
In addition to the necessary confidantes to monitor the abandoned emperor, there are also many troops and practitioners to protect the safety of the abandoned emperor.
However, there were other reasons why the deposed emperor didn't worry at all, or he didn't care about his own safety.
In the thick night, the flames of the long-burning lanterns hanging high in the Jongmyo looked very pale.
The constantly jumping flames seemed to be dancing with gods.
Emperor Qi, who was already wearing an ordinary cloth robe, suddenly thought about it.
On many tablets that he had just wiped, the bright and clean colors suddenly became mottled, and new mildew spots suddenly appeared in many places.
He quietly put down the soft cloth in his hand and turned around.
In the cold night outside the palace gate, a touch of gray suddenly appeared.
This gray is like a layer of light mist, without any fluctuations in vitality, but it is familiar to Emperor Qi.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he naturally thought that it was the Qis people who came, but he didn't know what was going on.
However, when the gray fog slowly disappeared, and when a young figure appeared in the hall, the gentleness in his eyes instantly turned into shock, disbelief, and endless disappointment.
Su Qin looked at him calmly.
Emperor Qi suddenly understood many things, but he still shook his head and said bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be you, I thought the person who came to kill me would be Yan Ying's disciple."
"I know." Su Qin said indifferently with his expression unchanged: "If he came, you would return your life to him as something owed to his master, so although there are many people in the tens of miles around, the guards But he is so lax, it’s a pity that you think only he will come to kill you.”
Emperor Qi nodded, and said with a really wry smile: "It's just that what I didn't expect the most was that the Qisi people died in your hands, and you also got some of his methods. In this way, you should have got The skills of the twelve witch gods, the destruction of the twelve witch gods must have been a conspiracy between you and Zheng Xiu?"
"Doing business with people like Zheng Xiu is the most stupid thing." Su Qin looked at the deposed emperor mockingly, "It's just that you really didn't expect that I got all the means of the Qisi people, not him. And it’s not that I rely on some exercises to forcefully obtain it from him, but he passed it on to me personally, so strictly speaking, I am his only true disciple.”
Emperor Qi was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I don't understand."
Su Qin said very simply: "Because I am a practitioner who practices Yinshen and ghosts. In the future, I will become a new witch ancestor."
Emperor Qi was silent for a while, and then said: "So in the end, what he cares most about is the future of the practitioners who practice the yin gods and ghosts skills, not the future of the practitioners of the Great Qi Dynasty?"
Su Qin seemed to think that Emperor Qi's words were funny, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Practitioners care more about the world of practitioners."
In an instant, he restrained his smile again, looked at Emperor Qi and asked seriously: "It's just that I don't understand, why did you order the Qisi people to kill me on purpose before you abdicated?"
Emperor Qi completely recovered his calm. He suddenly smiled, looked at Su Qin, and said, "I can answer your question, but I want to hear you answer my question first. You should not just report this when you come here. Personal enmity is so simple, what more do you want?"
"Secret." Su Qin said two words very simply, and then continued: "The royal family of any great dynasty has many secrets. Although you gave way to Tian Kangjun, for the real royal family of your Daqi Dynasty, he only has secrets." It's just a distant relative. Some ancestral things, such as exercises, special methods, and some special talismans, he must not be worthy of having them."
"I want these."
Su Qin said bluntly: "With these, my cultivation base will enter the country faster, and I will become a witch ancestor faster. And in exchange, I will meet some of your conditions. You should understand that becoming the Qisi people After passing on the disciples, in a sense, I have become a leader among the practitioners of the Daqi Dynasty, and naturally many practitioners will follow me. And I can give them many things they dream of."
Emperor Qi listened patiently, without any change in his expression, he nodded with a smile, and said, "I've finished listening to your answer, now you can listen to my answer."
"Do you know why I must ask the Chiss to kill you in person before I abdicate?"
Emperor Qi smiled and said slowly: "I didn't even think about it at the time, it was just an inexplicable intuition that you would become a serious problem in the future. But just now I really figured it out, because you are too ambitious, like you Such a practitioner doesn't just care about the practitioner's world, you also want to hold all the power in this world. Moreover, if a practitioner like you becomes king and emperor, you care more about the practitioner's world, let alone Maybe like us, we care more about the life and death of ordinary people, whether they have enough food and clothing, and whether they have a place to sleep at night."
Su Qin frowned slightly.
Emperor Qi's smile became stronger, and he said with some emotion: "I thought I would die at the hands of Yan Ying's disciples, but after giving him so much time, he didn't come. I think I made so many atonements in the end." He also understood my intentions and some helplessness in my position, and finally forgave me. I thought the Qisi people and Yan Ying were the same people, but in the end they were slightly different. It’s just that even if they are Qisi people I regard you as the future hope of practitioners of Daqi. I am still unwilling to give some of my secrets to you. If I have a choice, I will give them to those practitioners who know how to tolerate. If the most powerful practitioner in the world does not Know how to be tolerant and tolerant, and the world will become terrible."
Listening to his words, Su Qin's eyes became completely indifferent. He shook his head and said, "It's a pity that even if you don't want to, you may not be able to do it."
"I can prevent you from getting what you want, because I have a secret that you don't know." Emperor Qi smiled proudly like a child who won candy, "The royal family of the Great Qi Dynasty will not be like this. dignity."
When his words sounded, Su Qin's face changed suddenly, and his body jumped back violently as if being burned by a raging fire.
Strange halos surged in Emperor Qi's pupils, and a lot of pale air began to flow from his body, and then turned into light, just like the flame of the ever-burning lamp on the top of the temple at this time.
His whole body completely turned into a ball of light.
From the inside to the outside, whether it was vitality, flesh and blood, or all his consciousness, soul, all turned into nothingness.
