"The holy girl said that if she can't come back, she will trouble Dean Chen to take us temporarily."
The girls of Nanxizhai saluted Chen Changsheng earnestly, their white dresses fluttering.
"Don't worry, the Holy Empress treats her as her own daughter. His Majesty the Pope will never treat her for your sake."
After returning to the small building, Tang Thirty-Six explained to Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng knew that this was indeed the case, but why did Yourong explain this to the girls of Nanxizhai before he went to the palace? Could it be that it is difficult for her to come out after she knows that she has entered the palace? why? What is she going to do in the palace? Is she still in the palace now
He took off the scabbard, took out a pair of soft armor and threw it in front of Tang Thirty-Six, saying: "Remember to help me send this thing to Huaiyuan for Wang Po."
There was blood everywhere on the soft armor, some deep or shallow sword marks, and a very thin sword hole, but the tie was cut off, so it should be repaired easily.
Su Moyu and Zhexiu didn't know what kind of soft armor it was, and Chen Changsheng specially ordered it to be sent to Huaiyuan for Wang Po.
The Tang family was the most wealthy in the world, and Tang Sanshiliu's vision was naturally extraordinary. Hearing the words Huai Yuan and Wang Po, he quickly guessed what it was.
"Is this the Six Royal God Armor?" He picked up the soft armor from the ground, looked at Chen Changsheng and asked in surprise.
Su Moyu and Zhexiu were also stunned.
"Well, this belongs to the Wang family, and it happened to be returned to Wang Po. He should be very happy."
Chen Changsheng then took out a bronze mirror and handed it over, saying, "I don't know what it is, but it should be a good thing. If I guess correctly, it should be able to restrain the light power of the state religion."
This bronze mirror should be used by Zhou Tong to deal with the Scepter of the State Religion. It didn't play any role in the battle before, but it was able to remain intact under the two broken knives, which made him feel a little interesting.
Tang Thirty-Six took the bronze mirror and took a breath, "Qingxian mirror?"
Chen Changsheng only knew that there was a Qingxian Palace in Li Palace, but he didn't know that there was another bronze mirror with the same name in the world.
Zhexiu raised his eyebrows, Su Moyu couldn't hold back anymore, walked up to Tang Thirty-Six, took the bronze mirror, and carefully wiped off the blood on it with his sleeve.
"Is this bronze mirror famous?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"Haven't you ever looked at the Hundred Weapons List?" Tang Thirty-Six asked rhetorically, "Its position on the list is even higher than your Wugou Sword!"
Chen Changsheng was startled, thinking that when he chopped it down with a kitchen knife, he didn't see how amazing this bronze mirror was.
"What did you do? Kill Zhou Tong or rob?"
Tang Thirty-Six walked up to him with the Six Royal God Armor, very speechless: "How could it be possible to go out for such a short time and bring back two guys from the Hundred Weapons List?"
Chen Changsheng said: "These are all from Zhou Tong's body. When I killed him, I took them back by the way."
After a moment of silence, the three of Zhexiu looked at each other.
When they knew that Chen Changsheng was going to kill Zhou Tong, they were very shocked, but they didn't ask too many details, because they never thought that Chen Changsheng could really do this, and later Chen Changsheng also admitted to himself Failed, but if he really lost to Zhou Tong and could only come back with the protection of a big man from the state religion, why was he able to get these two treasures from Zhou Tong
They looked at Chen Changsheng, waiting for his explanation. Chen Changsheng recounted what happened in the courtyard in Beibingmasi Hutong, but he still didn't give too much details.
"You actually won?" Tang Thirty-Six looked at him like a monster.
Chen Changsheng said: "Since the fight is about life and death, winning or losing is meaningless."
Tang Thirty-Six said in shock: "But you won after all."
Chen Changsheng ignored him and said, "See what you can do with this bronze mirror. If it's difficult to divide it, you can stay in the Orthodox Academy as a property."
Tang Thirty-Six was displeased when he heard such words, and said: "For things like last words, it's good to explain them once. Don't you have to keep reminding us that you are a dying person?"
Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "This is not a will, it is an inheritance issue."
…
…
In the eyes of many people, the palace in the deepest part of the Li Palace does not meet the status of His Majesty the Pope, because there are too many cornices outside the palace, cutting the sky like a well, or is this the origin of the word "patio"? But there are also advantages. Standing in the courtyard here and looking up, you can often see the neatly cut starry sky, which is very beautiful.
The night is getting darker, and the night is getting darker, even like invisible clouds, covering the stars in the night sky, and the cool wind in early autumn can't dispel them no matter what. A voice sounded from the deepest part of the night. This voice was very calm and indifferent, with some sentimentality and vicissitudes, but it gave people a feeling that he deliberately wanted people to hear this kind of sentimentality and vicissitudes.
"I haven't seen the night sky here for almost twenty years."
Like many people in Kyoto tonight, His Majesty the Pope has not yet fallen asleep. He has just finished watering the green leaf potted plants and is carefully wiping the water droplets on the leaves with a silk scarf. With that voice, he stopped what he was doing, and slowly turned around to look over.
"If you hadn't acted too eagerly at the beginning, perhaps the story of the past twenty years would not have happened."
The Pope said into the depths of the night.
In the depths of the night, the person responded: "Or maybe it's just that I didn't expect that you were on her side in the end."
Hearing these words, the wrinkles on the Pope's face seemed to deepen a few minutes, and he said slowly, "It's all a thing of the past."
The voice in the night said: "Yes, it's all in the past. We should talk about the present, tonight."
The Pope put the silk scarf in his hand beside the green leaf potted plant, walked to the stone steps outside the hall, looked at the night and said, "Until now, I still don't know exactly what you want to do."
The cool night wind blew the sackcloth on his body, and he wanted to drift away from the dust.
The voice in the night sank down, as hard and indestructible as gold and stone: "You have always been clear about what I want to do, but you didn't agree with me back then, and now twenty years have passed, You know that your judgment back then was wrong, so you must stand by my side."
After hearing these words, the Pope looked down at the shadow on the stone steps and fell into a long silence.
"Tianhai has the best blood talent and the best position, but she is a woman, her vision is limited, and her character is problematic. The history of the past two hundred years has already proved this point. If she continues to sit On the throne of the Great Zhou, even if the north-south confluence goes smoothly, it is impossible for the human race to defeat the demon race under her leadership."
There was a night wind blowing the green trees outside the hall, the green leaves inside the hall, and the light leaking from the majestic and magnificent main hall of light behind, all seemed to shake.
That's because the man spoke again in the night, and his voice became colder and more certain.
"Do you want the nation to be wiped out? Do you really want to see the blood descendants of the Chen royal family displaced, withering day by day, until the inheritance is broken? When we broke up at the Orthodox Academy, we had already agreed that I would be responsible for the continuation." Bloodline of the royal family, you will see her for a while in the capital. Twenty years of time have disappeared like this. Have you forgotten your original thoughts and become intoxicated with her two saints in the same sky? No, I used indifference in Xining Town I have been looking at you with my eyes for more than ten years, and I will not watch you go down like this. Now it is time for the showdown, I will not allow you to continue guarding in this unpopular palace and cover your eyes. Tsukuru can't see that there are so many messy things in the world."
The Pope looked down at the faint shadow left by the corner of the eaves on the stone steps, and was silent for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he looked up into the depths of the night and asked, "Where does your confidence come from?"
The man said in the night: "No one can withstand that kind of temptation, the ripe fruit is waiting for her to pick."
The Pope said: "The child told me that non-saints cannot resist, but she is already in the holy place."
"The so-called saint in today's world is just a joke. How can she, a greedy and shameless woman, truly understand the divine principles? If you are convinced that eating that fruit will change your fate against the sky and reach consummation, and enter the great realm above the hidden gods, what do you think?" Would she be able to bear it? Do you know how much pain I endured when he was ten years old, when the fragrance overflowed? If it wasn't for that greedy and stupid golden dragon, who came again at the risk of falling, I would go to the cloud I went to fight it in the tomb, maybe I ate him right then!"
In the night, the man's voice became cold and cruel: "What's more, in her opinion, this is what she must do to complete the change of fate against the sky, it is the most ruthless request of heaven, and the fruit that fell from her body , and finally be eaten by her, how can there be a more perfect cycle of heaven than this? I can't see it, how can she see it?"
The Pope's voice became a little tired, and he said with a sense of guilt that could not be easily relieved: "In the end, you managed to deceive me and Merisa as well. You didn't say in the letter that in this matter Who needs to be sacrificed, let alone him who needs to be sacrificed.”
"When the fruit is ripe, it must be eaten by others, no matter it is poisonous or not."
"At first, I thought that letting the fruit ripen as soon as possible would be able to plant it in thick fertile soil as soon as possible to help it grow into a towering green tree."
"If the fruit is ripe, if it is not eaten, it will eventually rot. The child will die anyway. What's the problem with using his mortal fate to exchange for such great benefits for all human beings?"
"But the kid himself doesn't know all this."
"Everyone has what they want to do, but not everyone can make decisions about their own destiny and have the power to choose."
"Are you the only one who has the right to choose?"
"Because I can offer you and the world the best choice..."
"Do you know what choices I and the world need?"
"Merisa only wants to restore the royal family, but you only care about the continuation of the human race. He is the son of Tianhai and the late emperor, and no one will object to him. And please believe me, he is the smartest and most remarkable young man on this continent." He is the most suitable successor to the Great Zhou throne and the most suitable future leader of mankind."
"But that child is also your disciple."
The voice disappeared for a long time in the night, and then it sounded again.
"But he is a member of the royal family first. From the first moment he exists in this world, he has to take responsibility for the survival of the royal family and has the obligation to shed blood for the royal family."
