I don't know how much time has passed, it may be a long time, it may be very short, Chen Changsheng came to his senses, and fled towards the distance as if fleeing.
The little black dragon looked at his back disappearing into the night, with a look of malice in his eyes, especially the emotion in his vertical pupils became extremely cold.
The restriction Wang Zhice left on the stone wall made it impossible for her to recover her real realm strength, but if she wanted to, she could still easily catch Chen Changsheng and eat him in one bite. Otherwise, how could she become the so-called so-called man in the palace that no one dared to mention? "taboo".
But she didn't do this, the anger in the vertical pupils gradually dissipated, and what was left was loneliness, grievance and stubbornness.
She knew very well that the reason why Chen Changsheng wanted to run away was not because he was really afraid of being eaten by him, but because he wanted to run away from something else.
Without the help of the little black dragon, Chen Changsheng had no way to get back to the surface through that pond. The path he chose was the one he had taken when he strayed into the ground for the first time. When he pushed open the heavy stone door and returned to the cold palace that he hadn't seen for a long time, he looked at the Weiyang Palace in the distance, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.
Back then, when Mo Yu used his two-heart power and borrowed the formation from the palace to trap him here from the Weiyang Palace, he would never have imagined that he really had the courage to go underground to face the legendary "taboo". Thus, he found a glimmer of life. Similarly, he never thought that the "taboo" was a girl from the dragon clan who appeared violent and cold on the surface, but was actually a little naive and ignorant, and he actually had so many connections with this little girl. story.
Standing in the autumn trees beside the Black Dragon Pool, looking at the famous Tong Palace Formation, he thought deeply. He has read the Daoist scriptures thoroughly, and has studied formations quite well. Although he is not at the level of Xu Yourong and Gou Hanshi, he can be regarded as the best among monks in the world. That's why he discovered the origin of this formation when he was trapped here. The door is deep in the cold pool.
In order to lift the restriction imposed by Wang Zhice, he has prepared for a long time, and with Xu Yourong's help, he believes that it will only take ten years at most, and the two iron chains will gradually be eroded and invalidated, and the little black dragon can regain nature. If she At the same time, he practiced the time scroll copy he left underground, and the time could even be shortened a bit.
It's just that he should be gone by then.
For thousands of years, the white clouds are long, things are different, and the pavilions are like covers.
But after all, there are still some people or things that cannot be let go.
There is an artifact in Nanxizhai that has the same name as the famous formation in this cold palace, and they are both called Tonggong.
Tong Gong is in her hands.
She should be in the palace at this time, not far away from her.
Chen Changsheng walked around the pool, walked out of the back door of the Tong Palace along a stone path, came to a forest, and looked at the palace complex in the distance.
He didn't like dying alone, but he didn't want to be seen by her when he left this world.
He was planning to go to Zhou Garden later, but there was no one there, no one could enter.
Before that he has to do some things.
There was a thin rustling sound in front of the woods, and a few leaves that were turning yellow but still green fell.
Black Sheep came out of the woods, looked at Chen Changsheng tilted his head slightly, and seemed to be a little puzzled, why did you appear here today instead of by the pond.
Chen Changsheng bowed to the black sheep and bowed to the ground, bowed seriously, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me these two years."
The black sheep turned its head and looked at a certain place in the palace complex in the distance.
Chen Changsheng understood what it meant, shook his head and said, "I won't go there."
The black sheep turned around and looked at him quietly, with dark eyes like the deepest night.
"I have lived seriously all my life, or rather rigidly, because I hoped that I could live a few more years, but now I am sure that I can't live a few more years. When I think about it carefully, my biggest regret is that I have never lived recklessly. What you want is to follow your heart, but in fact, how can you really follow your heart?"
Since confirming the date of his death, Chen Changsheng hadn't revealed his true thoughts to anyone, but at this time he expressed his heart to this black sheep.
"So before I die, I decide to do something I really want to do. If I can succeed, I think I should be very happy."
…
…
Killing the east, killing the west, killing things, turns out to be just a word for killing.
Kill all the people who oppose you, then naturally there will be no one who opposes you, kill and reverse the world that dares to violate your will, and the world will naturally submit to your will, but if the world and people do everything What happens after everyone obeys? What about beyond heaven and earth? What about people's hearts
After listening to the Holy Empress' words, Xu Yourong was quiet for a long time.
This is the domineering announcement of the empress, and it is also the teaching of the empress to her, the only successor.
She needs to think about it, and at the same time, she is silently performing calculations.
Back then, when she told Chen Changsheng that she was going to the palace to intercede with the empress, Chen Changsheng said it was meaningless.
Looking at the indifferent attitude of the Holy Empress now, it seems to be true.
In fact, this is the result that anyone should have thought of in advance.
But she still came to the palace.
In order to do everything possible to obey the destiny? Just wishing to beg for Chen Changsheng's peaceful solitary time for more than ten days
No, she is a member of the Taoist sect, but she has her own sharpness, and she does not cultivate and do nothing.
From leaving Hanshan to last night, she has been deducing and calculating, and her slender fingertips have never left the horoscope.
She tried to see the way of heaven, she wanted to pierce the fog of fate, and see the real way forward, but the result of countless deduction was the same.
To free Chen Changsheng from the predicament of fate, the only thin thread of fate that was almost illusory was connected to the empress at the other end.
From a common sense point of view, the punishment of heaven that Chen Changsheng received was the effect of the oath that the empress made when she sacrificed to the starry sky. On the empress.
But she knew that was not what fate loomed.
Look at the mountain is a mountain, not a mountain, or a mountain... After all, a mountain is a mountain, but the meaning is different.
That's why she left the Orthodox Academy and came to the palace.
She firmly believes that this trip will definitely bring about some changes, however, a long time has passed since the day, and the changes have never happened.
The porcelain cup is still turning at the fingertips, as if it has never stopped from day to night, like a waterwheel on a stream, like time itself.
"The art of deduction, in the end, is exhausted, but the way of heaven is indescribable and innumerable, how can it be counted?"
The Holy Queen suddenly put the porcelain cup on the table, and glanced at her, as if she had seen through everything.
Xu Yourong was silent for a while, and replied, "Although it can't be touched, it can always be closer."
The Holy Queen said: "You don't even know the human heart now, how can you talk about approaching the way of heaven?"
Xu Yourong's face turned a little pale, because she faintly felt that the change she was waiting for had already happened, but... that change was not what she wanted.
"You set up a sword array at the Orthodox Academy, and then ask the Li Palace to send people to help, and then you come to the palace to meet me, thinking that this will isolate him from the world and me from his world, and then wait for the way of heaven to come naturally. Running, trying to find a slight change, but you counted and counted, but you missed one thing.”
The holy queen looked at her and said calmly: "You forgot that he is also counting."
Xu Yourong knew that he was wrong.
What if Chen Changsheng left the Orthodox Academy by himself? She was not there, and no one could stop him from leaving.
The reason why the empress called her into the palace was to create such an opportunity for Chen Changsheng.
In other words, when she was trying to choose a possible way out for Chen Changsheng, the empress already knew what choice Chen Changsheng would make.
"Your Majesty, do you know him so well because you are mother and son?" Xu Yourong looked at her, his voice became a little cold.
The Holy Queen said: "Up to this time, I haven't forgotten to mention this matter all the time and tried to touch my heartstrings for a moment. You child is also persistent."
A stubborn expression appeared on Xu Yourong's beautiful face, and she said, "But isn't what I said the truth?"
"Of course it's not true." The Queen's voice was as calm as gold and jade: "I know him only because I have known him before."
She stood up, walked to the window again, and looked into the distance outside the palace.
The evening clouds at dusk had turned into a sky full of stars, and her voice was more indifferent than during the day, even a bit colder.
"In the eyes of ordinary people, the so-called sage can know everything, but they don't know that after crossing the threshold, they are still in the world of mortals. The reason why the sage can't make mistakes is because the sage can't make mistakes. Once he makes a mistake, he will be covered in the world of mortals. Difficult to get rid of."
Accompanied by a cold voice, these words fell in Xu Yourong's ears and heart.
"I have never been afraid of such things as the way of heaven and fate. They regard you and me as cattle and horses, and I treat them as cattle and horses. I put them on the bridle and hang them on a heavy plow. I use them to open up territories and use them to make the wind and rain flow smoothly." , But now that I think about it, I have the heart to use the fate of heaven, that is, to admit that it is useful, to admit that it is stronger than my own ability. And this is the biggest mistake I made back then. Once I judged like this, Shenhun There is dust in between, which can no longer be washed away."
The holy queen turned around, looked at Xu Yourong and said.
I don't know if it's because of talking about the way of heaven, but her expression is very solemn, and there is a lot of sacred meaning in her perfect face.
Xu Yourong knew very well that this was also a teaching, and it was probably the true meaning that no one had ever heard except himself.
From childhood to the present, such scenes have happened many times, and she has long been used to it, but not this time.
Because what the empress is talking about is the most mysterious, high and wonderful way of heaven, and what she talks about is extremely disrespectful to the way of heaven.
And she vaguely understood why the empress said this to herself.
"One day in the future, you will become as strong as me, and I hope you will be stronger, so I will not allow you to make the same mistakes as me."
The holy queen looked into her eyes and said: "If the way of heaven is in front, you should be beheaded, and if love is in front, you should be beheaded even more."
Xu Yourong's body turned slightly cold when he heard the last sentence, which proved his conjecture.
"You are my heir."
The holy queen walked up to her, looked down at her, and said calmly: "I will kill anyone who will destroy your way."
Xu Yourong's face became even paler, and there was a hint of sadness in his usually bright eyes.
"I like Akiyama very much, but you don't accept him, which I like very much."
"You like Chen Changsheng. Although there are many things to like about him, I still don't like him."
"Your life should not be wasted on these unnecessary things."
"So the more you care about Chen Changsheng, the more I will kill him."
Xu Yourong was silent for a long time.
Her face became whiter and whiter, until at last it was like snow, and no other color could be seen.
But her eyes gradually returned to brightness, like a mountain forest welcoming the morning light after the mist.
Then, a wintersweet plant seemed to grow in the snow field, adding a touch of red, and gradually the plum bushes bloomed, and her face became more and more red.
With a buzzing sound, the wind howled in the hall, and two white wings of more than ten feet spread out behind her!
She flew into the air, exuding an extremely blazing light, as well as a sacred and powerful aura.
She burned the true blood of Tianfeng in her body, raising her realm to the peak state, and it can even be said that she has surpassed the upper limit of the range she can bear.
She is the saint of the national religion, representing holiness and light, carrying the sacred power bestowed by countless stars.
She is still at the peak state of Tongyou, of course, she has not really entered the sacred realm, but in this state, she already has some characteristics and meanings of the sacred realm, and she has the power to fight against the top masters on the Xiaoyao list, even all directions. It will take some time and means for a strong man like Feng Yu to completely suppress her.
She never thought of being able to threaten the Holy Empress, she just wanted to buy some time to break this situation, which was woven by the law of heaven or people's hearts.
Even if it can only shine a little bit of light, if it can illuminate the Great Zhou Palace, or it can also illuminate the capital, so that Li Palace can see it.
However, at the next moment, the wind in the palace stopped.
Those scattered holy rays disappeared without a trace.
The pair of white wings behind her hung down feebly.
A hand was around her throat.
It was the hand of the Holy Empress.
That hand looked very delicate, but at this moment it looked extremely terrifying.
The holy queen's figure was not very tall, she stretched out her arms, but lifted Xu Yourong in the air.
A black wing of more than a hundred feet spread out behind her, piercing both sides of the vast palace, and slowly undulating under the night.
This picture looks very strange, but also has a kind of thrilling beauty.
