Fighter of the Destiny

The Taoist priest who appeared out of nowhere in the rainy night was Shang Xingzhou, the former dean of the National Education Academy, and the extremely mysterious Taoist Ji who had been in Taizong's reign.

He is the leader, or the mastermind, of what happened in Kyoto tonight.

After he appeared, only the voice of Queen Tianhai talking to him could be heard in the world.

No matter Zhu Luo, the stargazers, or the fifteen princes who had entered Kyoto, they all remained quiet, which represented respect, or awe.

But the world is vast and the world is vast. After all, there will not only be one or two voices, there will always be other voices.

"Why so?"

A voice rang out from the canal in the southeast of Kyoto.

The big ship traveling in the channel slowly stopped.

The Taoist nun standing at the bow of the ship suddenly changed her expression. She stretched out her hand like lightning, but found nothing.

There was always a different kind of red rippling in the dark canal water, which was gradually fading away.

The next moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in the night sky outside Tianshu Mausoleum, which clearly illuminated the rain lines falling from the sky and also illuminated a figure in between.

That was not the lightning falling in the clouds, but the aura that came out when the figure met the forbidden area of ​​Tianshu Mausoleum.

The figure slowly fell from the rainy sky and landed on the riverside outside Tianshu Mausoleum.

He was a middle-aged scribe. His gown had been soaked by the rain, but he didn't look embarrassed at all. There was a heart-wrenching grace in his calm eyes.

There was a small bright red flower tied to the little finger of his right hand, which was swaying gently in the rain.

A different kind of red.

This powerful man in the sacred realm was unable to break through the restrictions of the Tomb of Heavenly Books and was isolated from the outside.

But now that he has made his voice heard, he will continue to make his voice heard.

A sharp sound broke through the air.

The distinctive red figure suddenly disappeared, a clear passage appeared in the heavy rain curtain, and a straight wave appeared on the river outside the Tianshu Mausoleum.

In an instant, he broke into the Tomb of Heavenly Books and arrived at the bottom of the Shinto, in front of the stone flat.

But he had no way to move forward because Queen Tianhai glanced at him.

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed in front of Bieyang Hong.

A blazing white light directly evaporated all the water in the shallow canal, and several extremely thick scorch marks appeared on the hard black stone.

Bieyang Hong looked at the top of the Heavenly Book Mausoleum at the end of the Shinto with a solemn expression.

At the previous moment, he sensed the faint change in the aura of heaven and earth and stopped, otherwise he might be hit by the lightning and be seriously injured.

Queen Tianhai just glanced at it.

The realm she showed was really terrifying, and she actually had a vague feeling that she could mobilize the laws of heaven and earth!

Everyone knows that the realm of Queen Tianhai is unfathomable, but until now, people know that all speculations still underestimate her!

On the northwest official road, the stargazer raised his head and pushed up his hat, revealing an ordinary face with a bit of sternness in his eyes.

Zhu Luo in the wheelchair looked at that place quietly, tapping the scabbard gently with his left hand, which was the only hand he had now.

"Kyoto is my home court, you shouldn't choose here."

Queen Tianhai said calmly to the world.

Bie Yihong stopped, but he could continue to speak his voice: "No matter where we are, we will come after all."

"I don't want you to come." Queen Tianhai looked at him and said calmly, "Because I don't want to kill you."

Bie Yihong said: "Since I am reading a book from a sage, I always want to have peace of mind."

Queen Tianhai said: "You are indeed a different kind of red. I am very pleased. Among these people, I have always thought that you are pretty good, with a different color and a different bearing."

The night rain suddenly turned into countless water waves. The waves in the river outside Tianshu Mausoleum became wild and the breath was slightly chaotic.

The Taoist nun also came to the Tomb of Heavenly Books and stood beside Biyanghong, looking up with a wary expression.

"The most stupid thing you have ever done in your life is to marry such a person."

Queen Tianhai looked at Biyanghong and said with a smile.

That Taoist nun is his wife, and she is the same as Wufenbi in the wind and rain in all directions.

Wuxianbi was very angry after hearing this. She felt that Ye Yu's voice and that woman's voice were so disturbing, but she didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, Bie Yihong couldn't say anything. After a moment of silence, he said: "My dear, since it is death after all, why don't you give him a happy life?"

He didn't finish his sentence.

The unfinished second half is - then, let's have a good fight.

…

…

Happiness can rarely be understood as pain and pleasure.

Chen Changsheng was in great pain at this time and could not feel any happiness, even though the night wind in the rain came from thousands of miles away and became stronger and stronger.

After listening to Bi Yihonghong's words, Queen Tianhai glanced sideways at him. With just an indifferent glance, she could clearly see the situation inside his body.

According to Old Man Tianji's calculations, the sun and the sun were destroyed before he was even born, and all nine meridians were broken.

At this time, Chen Changsheng had all seventy-two meridians broken, and all three hundred and sixty-five Qi orifices had been opened.

He was suffering unimaginable pain, just like when he was in her belly, but he was still unconscious at that time, and the only person in the world who could feel his pain was her.

Holy Queen Tianhai thought about the pain she felt when she was pregnant with him and the pain she felt when giving birth to him, she frowned slightly, feeling a little disgusted.

The night rain is getting heavier, but the stars are shining brightly, and there is a clearer and softer brilliance.

The stargazer pushed Zhu Luo in the wheelchair and also came to the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

Storms are coming from all directions.

That man was somewhere in the night rain.

The monk was tens of thousands of miles away by the stream.

Tonight's Kyoto was planned by Queen Tianhai. Now that everyone was here, Chen Changsheng no longer had any value in existence, so he could naturally die.

The rain falling from the night sky became heavier and heavier, forming a line, and then gradually became heavier, and the night wind carried by it became stronger and stronger.

Rumbles of thunder came from the depths of the wind and rain, and from time to time real lightning lit up the night sky, illuminating the scene on the top of the Tianshu Mausoleum.

The Holy Queen of Tianhai stood on the edge of the Shinto with her hands behind her hands. There was no extra emotion on her beautiful face, and her black hair was flying behind her like a demon.

The heavy rain could not wet a single strand of her hair, but it made Chen Changsheng soaked through his clothes.

Chen Changsheng's face was pale, his whole body was wet, and he looked extremely weak and pitiful.

He panted, holding on to the water-filled ground, and raised his head with difficulty to look at her.

At this moment, he was really calm because he was numb and he was extremely disappointed with this world.

Queen Tianhai sensed his movements and said calmly: "Yourong wants to save you, so I sent her away."

When she said this, she did not turn to look at him.

Chen Changsheng's body, which had become numb due to cold, pain, and disappointment, became slightly softer after hearing these words, with the last bit of warmth still remaining in his chest.

Yes, there are still people in this world who care about him after all, such as Yourong, such as the people in the National Education Academy, such as Luoluo who is far away in Baidi City, such as his senior brother who is somewhere...

"Thank you." He said looking at the back of Queen Tianhai.

He thanked her for saying those words in his last moments, to help him remember that there was some good in life after all.

In this way, when he leaves, he may be a little reluctant because he misses her, but at least he won't be sad because he misses her nothing.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, flowing down both sides of the White Stone Shinto towards the Tianshu Mausoleum, gathering more and more rain, and finally turning into a waterfall, with an astonishing momentum.

The sound of rain at night was annoying, and the heavy rain caused disasters. In the woods, you could faintly see the silhouettes of many wild beasts taking refuge, but you could no longer hear the chirping of autumn insects.

A squirrel jumped and walked through the woods, as if it wanted to find a suitable shelter from the rain, but was unable to do so. It soon got wet. The rain was so heavy that the squirrel's fur, which should be oily and waterproof, became wet. Unable to bear it completely, the fluffy tail drooped down, and the gray fur was wet and clinging to the body, looking very pitiful.

If those gray fur are dry, fluffy, or the squirrel should look fat.

Just like the squirrel in the woods of Baicao Garden earlier.

Queen Tianhai's eyes followed the squirrel as it moved among the woods, and she didn't look back until a long time later.

Here at Tianshu Mausoleum, strong people have gathered. Kyoto seems calm in the night rain, but there are many undercurrents surging.

Her rule over the Zhou Dynasty was facing the most powerful challenge.

However, at this time, she was very focused on watching a squirrel hiding from the rain.

What on earth was she thinking?

"You should have seen a squirrel in the palace two years ago."

She suddenly said this.

This sentence has no beginning or end.

Chen Changsheng was in a daze and didn't know what she was talking about.

Then, he vaguely remembered something.

That was really a long time ago. On the night of the Ivy Banquet two years ago, he was led into the Cold Palace by Mo Yu and imprisoned by the Tong Palace Formation. In order to escape, he ventured into the underground through the Shengmen, but encountered a black dragon. After finally returning to the surface, he ended up in the palace. in a pond.

At that time, there was a middle-aged woman standing by the pool. She didn't know whether she was going to wash her hands or wash her clothes.

He was in the pond at that time, soaked to the skin and embarrassed, and it was late at night. The middle-aged woman seemed to be frightened and took a step back. Her clogs made a sound when she stepped on the bluestone.

At that time, there was a squirrel eating in the woods beside the pool. It was frightened, dropped the fruit and jumped to the second floor of the side hall. It ran along the railing and tilted a flowerpot with its swinging tail.

At that time, the middle-aged woman was directly under the pot of flowers.

At that time, Chen Changsheng had just escaped from the predicament and was still deep in the palace. He was extremely nervous and could not be discovered by others, but when he saw this scene, he rushed over without thinking.

He picked up the middle-aged woman in his arms and turned her around half a circle, so that even if the flowerpot fell, it would only hit his back and not the other party.

Fortunately, the flowerpot didn't fall.

Now that I think about it, all this is not true, because she is not an ordinary middle-aged woman. She is the Holy Queen of Tianhai, so how could she be scared?

Her actions at that time must have been redundant and ridiculous in her eyes, right?

But why did she suddenly mention the squirrel at this time?

Thinking about that time, Chen Changsheng felt slightly confused.
