Let's not mention the Pope for now, and don't think about the seniors, but between the teacher and the Holy Empress, who does Chen Changsheng trust more? If not long ago, he could give the answer without thinking at all, but now, after thinking for a long time, he can only find sadly that he can't trust anyone.
He has never met the Holy Empress, but he has some side knowledge through Mo Yu, Xu Yourong, and King Chen Liu. Of course, he has read too many records about the Holy Empress in books, and he knows that the one who has the highest power in the world How powerful, ruthless and ruthless the woman is. Now that I think about it, his teacher may also be such a person. Or the higher the realm of practice, the less you care about things in awe, the more indifferent you will be to this world? After stepping into the sacred realm, he is no longer a mortal, so naturally he won't have too many mortal feelings.
"If it is really done as you said, there will be no room for buffer between the Holy Empress and the Pope. Even though everyone has been deceiving themselves and others in the past two years, there are always some reasons to deceive themselves. The relationship between the imperial court and the state religion The contradictions will intensify rapidly, and maybe Kyoto will be in chaos tomorrow."
Chen Changsheng looked at her and said, "I'm not Wang Po. I can still take the world as my responsibility even after my family is ruined. But if the world is in chaos because of me, I'll still feel a lot of psychological pressure. And if I'm really Prince Zhaoming , I can't imagine any reason for your empress to let me go."
"If you are really Prince Zhaoming, then empress is your biological mother."
Seeing his calm expression, Xu Yourong knew that this sentence was not enough to convince him, and even this sentence was not enough to convince herself. It should be difficult for a person like the Holy Empress to be bound by these so-called family relationships. She looked at Qiu Shu outside the window and said, "I will intercede for you."
"If Empress really wants to kill me, whose plea will help? And I think she knows everything now."
Chen Changsheng stood up, walked to the window and stood beside her.
After returning from the cold mountain for thousands of miles, under Xu Yourong's meticulous care, his injury did not improve, but it did not worsen for the time being, and under the influence of Tianfeng's true blood, he even recovered some strength.
The starlight fell on Xu Yourong's beautiful face, making it even paler: "We must find a way to solve it."
"Actually, there is an easiest way."
"what way?"
"No matter what kind of conspiracy the teacher is secretly arranging, it must have something to do with me. If this is the case, if I disappear, these things will naturally disappear."
The bubbles on the surface of the lake reflect the starlight, beautiful and unreal, but in fact, the extremely thin walls of those bubbles are all water.
If there is no water, those bubbles will naturally not exist.
Xu Yourong vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.
For people like the Queen and Taoist Ji, it is extremely difficult to disappear before their eyes.
There is only one situation, and neither the Holy Queen nor Taoist Ji can solve it.
That's literally getting out of this world.
The soul returned to the star sea, and the body turned into dust.
die.
"In the past few days after leaving Hanshan, I have been thinking, maybe I am a person who should not have survived."
"If I were Prince Zhaoming, according to what my mother said about changing her life against the sky to sacrifice to Xingkong, I should not have been born at all, or it was for this reason that when I was still in my mother's womb, I hadn't opened my eyes. , the sun disc in the body collapsed, but I don’t know why, but I didn’t die.”
"People who should have died a long time ago, but lived for more than ten years, this in itself is against the law of heaven, and it will naturally cause chaos in the world."
"Although it is more than ten years late, if I die now, it may be regarded as a remedy, like building a new wall for the sheepfold."
"If I die, these conspiracies will be useless, and these contradictions will seem meaningless. There will only be peace, which is fine."
Chen Changsheng looked into Xu Yourong's eyes and said very seriously.
He didn't speak fast, and he tried to speak every word as clearly as possible to ensure that his thoughts could be heard.
Xu Yourong heard it and confirmed what he meant, her expression was still calm, but her voice sank a bit, a little annoyed: "I won't let you die."
"You understand. Even if I don't want to die, I will die after all. It's just a matter of dozens of days earlier or later."
Chen Changsheng looked at her and explained seriously.
I had a long talk with His Majesty the Pope in the Li Palace, talking about the story thousands of years ago, talking about the foreign continent countless miles away, and talking about his illness, but he didn't talk about it in detail, let alone how to cure it.
It was already clear that the Pope could not cure him.
I don't know if it's because he has been thinking about this matter since he was ten years old, but when this matter really came before him, Chen Changsheng wasn't too scared.
May be numb? he thought to himself.
At this time, he was seriously considering, since he was going to die, what should he do before he died, and how should he die.
At most, the difference is dozens of days. It doesn't matter if you die early or late, what matters is when you die.
Withered meridians, died of bleeding, or was eaten by the strongest in the world? It doesn't matter how he dies, what matters is that he has to decide for himself.
What he cultivates is to follow his heart, and if his life fails to go his way, of course he must pay attention to the outcome.
Thinking about these questions, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Looking into his eyes, Xu Yourong was sure of his intentions, and felt slightly sad.
"I won't let you die," she said.
When she was in Hanshan, on the journey, and before that, she often said to Chen Changsheng: I will not let you die.
At this time she said: I will not let you die.
There is only one word difference between these two sentences, but they have completely different meanings, representing completely different moods.
Generally speaking, when a girl utters this sentence, her eyes are often red-rimmed, and she can't even cry.
Xu Yourong was still very calm, even deliberately indifferent.
It's just that she didn't even realize that when she said this, her voice was trembling slightly.
That is the deepest despair.
…
…
In the entire continent, only five people knew that Chen Changsheng was going to die.
For ordinary people in Kyoto, this is just a very ordinary day in early autumn. They live as usual, work and eat, walk and look around, drink and chat, watch the car on the nobleman's house hit the stone lion, and go to see the excitement, listen to Listening to the gossip from somewhere, he began to express his views with relish.
On this ordinary autumn day, a shocking news spread throughout Kyoto, attracting the attention of all the people.
Many people already knew yesterday that the team from the Holy Maiden Peak came to the capital together with the National Church team, but they did not know until this morning that the Holy Maiden did not live in the Li Palace, nor did she live in the Imperial Palace, nor did she return to the Eastern Goddess Instead, he went directly to the Orthodox Academy.
Moreover, I heard that she stayed in the Orthodox Academy for a whole night.
"The Holy Maiden definitely stayed overnight at the Orthodox Academy!"
A pawnshop shopkeeper stood at the door of his shop, waving his arms and said loudly, with a very solemn expression, as if he was telling the classics of the state religion.
No one accepts such things quickly, least of all young men. No matter if they were scholars or coolies, the expressions on their faces in front of the shop were all ugly.
