I may be a fake cannon fodder [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 87 Durian stewed chicken gizzards
When Liu Lian could no longer shake off Gulu who was hugging his thigh, he finally realized that time passed so fast.
Gulu hugged his thigh, his cheeks bulging: "Durian, hug."
Six years ago, Gulu was still a milk baby, but now he has grown to the root of Liu Lian's thigh.He follows Liu Lian wherever he goes, but he still can't remember that he is a system, he only knows that he clings to Liu Lian every day, but he refuses to give in to Liu Lian's coercion and call him Dad.
Liu Lian hugged Gulu, and Gulu immediately sat firmly on his arm, wrapping his soft hands around his neck: "Durian, what are you eating today?"
"Eat you, you are fat and tender, just fry it in the oil pan for a few rounds." Liu Lian squeezed his little fat face, like pinching a steamed stuffed bun.
Gulu angrily grabbed the long hair tied behind his head and twisted it back and forth: "You bullied me again!"
Liu Lian shrugged and said intentionally, "Am I not right? My dear boy, dad raised you so fat, isn't it just to store food?"
Gulu shrank his neck in fright, not daring to move.Liu Lian hugged him and weighed him: "Where did all the food go? Why are you always so light?"
Gulu tilted his head: "I don't know."
Turning his little head around, he caught a glimpse of a striking red in the crowd, and hurriedly leaned into Liu Lian's ear: "Durian, I want candied haws!"
Liu Lian hugged him and walked towards the candied haws vendor.For four coppers, you can get two bunches of red candied haws.After one bite, the sugar coating shattered between the lips and teeth, and the sweet and sour hawthorn overflowed the mouth.
The market at the foot of the mountain is very lively. Today is fair day, and the weather is sunny. The streets are crowded with people, and there are stalls selling snacks and gadgets along the way.
Liu Lian weighed the purse in his hand, there were several ingots of grain silver in it, which was quite heavy.The old man Xuan Mingzi said that his apprentice had to be poor, but his daily food and clothing expenses were never less than Liu Lian's.Probably because of the feelings of changing diapers, Xuan Mingzi treats Gulu better.
From the mouth of the sword spirit, I learned that Xuan Mingzi's cultivation base is seriously depleted. If he can't cultivate in time, his life span will be very short.The sword spirit said that the dragon energy and star power in Liu Lian's body can be used to heal Xuan Mingzi's injury.It's just that Liu Lian was too young at that time to perform the technique, and he had to wait until he was an adult.
In these years, Xuan Mingzi can be said to have taught each other everything, including orthodox Taoism, martial arts, heresy, and everything.Liu Lian discovered that Xuan Mingzi knew almost everything, so one could imagine how rich his experience was.
Except for one thing that caused him a lot of headaches, Xuan Mingzi liked to play tricks, which he nicknamed: Trials.
Fortunately, Liu Lian is very strong. After six years of fighting wits and courage with his master, he has long been familiar with his routines and got used to them.But in recent days, Xuan Mingzi didn't know why, but he didn't bother him very much. He moaned and sighed all day, or stayed up all night, watching the stars and divination.
According to the usual practice, today should be the assessment of his sword skills.But Xuan Mingzi stroked Liu Lian's hair, gave him some money, and told him to take Gulu down the mountain to play.
"I think something great is going to happen," said Gollum.He doesn't just eat, he's quite sensitive about certain things.
Liu Lian didn't take it seriously, and slowly licked the orange-red icing on the hawthorn: "So what?"
It's not normal for nothing to happen.You know, if he doesn't want to make trouble, things will come to him on his own initiative.
"Grandpa Xuan Mingzi said that you are the Emperor Star, Dulian, will you be the emperor in the future?" Gulu said innocently.
Liu Lian quickly covered his mouth, with sticky icing sugar on his palm: "Shhh, don't talk nonsense."
Fortunately, there was a lot of noise coming and going around, and no one noticed a child's rebellious words.
Liu Lian lowered his voice and said, "I won't go out, as long as I live my life well, the mission will be considered complete." Anyway, he is very open now, anyway, the idiot of the main god has already exploded in an instant, and the body is still in his hands .Although I don't know what caused the system to lose all its functions and memory, but Liu Lian is not someone who takes the initiative to cause trouble for himself.
He is still alive, and so is the silly system.With a duplicity master and a seemingly reliable "teacher's wife", life in the mountains is relaxed and happy, why bother to think about what is there and what is not?
Gulu sucked his fingers and tilted his head: "But grandpa has been acting abnormal lately..." There was a little worry on his small face.
"Eat yours, the children's family, it's not your turn to worry." Liu Lian casually stuffed a piece of caramel into Gulu's mouth.
"Oh." Gulu shut up.
Liu Lian patted his head while walking: "No matter what, there is me."
Gollum rubbed against his palm.
Liu Lian wandered around and bought a lot of things.Holding Gulu in one hand, and a net bag and paper bag in the other, he walked through the bustling crowd.After leaving the market, Liu Lian found a secluded corner, and a silver light slipped from his cuff.
The silver-white brilliance floated and elongated in mid-air, transforming into a delicate long sword.The sword is three feet and two inches long, the blade is sharp and sharp, and the gauntlet is made into a wing, with a finger-sized pearl embedded in it.The sword tassel was wrapped by Xuan Mingzi himself, and the narrow blade is set against the red tassel, which looks a little coquettish.
Liu Lian stepped on the blade, and Gulu hugged his thigh tightly.As soon as he snapped his fingers, the flying sword flew up into the air with a gust of wind, and disappeared without a trace with a wrong eye.
At dusk, when Liu Lian returned to the dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains, Xuan Mingzi did not sit on the wicker chair in the courtyard as usual.
Sword Spirit stood in front of the kitchen table, staring intently at the maroon jerky on the chopping board, cutting the meat into thin slices like cicada wings.
The peerless divine weapon Lingxi Tianjian is actually used to cut a mere piece of bacon at this moment. If it is spread, it may not be to make people's jaws drop.Sword Spirit didn't care about the many, and handled the ingredients seriously.
The mountain is full of aura and rich in natural products.The green garlic sprouts are neatly bundled into bundles, and the fresh mushrooms in the small bamboo baskets are piled up into hills, with moist soil still attached to the roots.There is an old hen in the earthen pot on the stove, and the rich and mellow aroma rises.
"Master, where is Master?" Liu Lian put the seasonings purchased from the mountain into the sandalwood cabinet.
Jian Ling didn't turn his head: "By the mountain stream. He will come back at night."
Gulu took the small bench and sat aside, stretching his neck to smell the smell of chicken soup in the air.Jian Ling lightly smiled and patted his head.
As expected, Xuan Mingzi came back on time during dinner, and Liu Lian found that a thin layer of hoarfrost had formed on the hem of his Taoist robe!
This is the beginning of autumn, the mountains are cooler than the mountains, and there is no possibility of frost.
The layer of hoarfrost melted away in the blink of an eye, Xuan Mingzi looked the same, and sat down with his Taoist robe lifted, the sword spirit served him a bowl of dried soup, Xuan Mingzi drank it all in one gulp.
Gulu bit the chicken leg and said vaguely, "Grandpa, what are you worried about?"
Xuan Mingzi raised his forehead: "It's called Shizu. You little thing, you know everything." Children are always very naive, and they will say whatever they think of.Sometimes Xuan Mingzi would be very envious of Gulu, without any troubles.
He looked at Liu Lian, hesitant to speak.The dinner table was silent, not as lively as usual, Xuan Mingzi didn't even say a word.
After dinner, Liu Lian followed Xuan Mingzi to the mountain stream in Houshan. At this time, the sky was cloudless, the moon was born, and the mountains were all silvery white.Xuan Mingzi sat on a large smooth bluestone, with his hands clasped in his sleeves, squinting at the stars in the sky.
Liu Lian sat next to him, Xuan Mingzi said, "Disciple, come and see the stars."
There are trillions of stars in the nine heavens, all of which have their constant trajectories.Astrology is to predict the future from the movement of the stars.Knowing that Xuan Mingzi had something to say, Liu Lian quietly watched the stars with him.
"Have you seen it? That Emperor Star, its light is getting brighter and brighter." Xuan Mingzi stroked his beard, "Teacher, do you know what this means?"
Liu Lian hugged her knees and stared at the sky: "Master, I can't see it."
Xuan Mingzi slapped his head: "That's right...you can't observe your own destiny."
Liu Lian turned to him: "Master, what did you see?"
Xuan Mingzi murmured: "I saw it for my teacher..."
He suddenly fell silent.On the side of Emperor Star, there is an extremely bright companion star.The trajectories of the two stars are gradually approaching, and it is foreseeable that they will merge in orbit soon.
"Anyway, you should go too." Xuan Mingzi sighed, this child does not belong to this Qingshan after all.
Liu Lian frowned: "Master, are you going to drive me away?"
Xuan Mingzi patted him on the shoulder: "Disciple, it's not that the teacher wants you to go. Rather, you have to go sooner or later."
Liu Lian lay back, with his hands behind his head: "I don't want to leave...Master, this is my home."
"It's up to you." Xuan Mingzi lay beside him, "Remember to come back and have a look later."
He said something inscrutable: "Everything is determined by God."
***
Back then, Ji Zhen was still a rebellious and gloomy young man.Time is enough to sharpen everything. Today's Ji Zhen, with all her sharp edge removed, is even tougher than before, and her gestures and gestures are full of majesty that makes people dare not look at her.
The father and son obeyed Si Tian Jian Jian Zheng's advice, and kept a low profile before the emperor's star power flourished, and did not confront the imperial concubine head-on.
During the sacrifices of the dead warriors, Ji Zhen learned an extremely terrible secret about the man in the palace.If it is made public, it will inevitably shake the foundation of the country.To end the scourge in the deep palace, Jian Zheng said, only Emperor Xing.
If you act rashly before this, it is likely to fall short.
"Master, when will the Emperor Star appear in this world?" Ji Zhen stood in front of the window of the Star Observation Tower with his hands behind his back, his tone faintly revealing anxiety.
The prisoner was sitting in front of the star map, fiddling with the divination chips in his hand: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient."
In six years, Ji Zhen changed from "His Royal Highness" to "Prince".After being crowned, he took over the throne and officially took over the power and responsibility of the side-by-side king.
The prisoner was looking at the noble and domineering young man by the window, wearing only casual clothes, he had a dignified and respectful aura.In terms of scheming and imperial power, Ji Zhen can be said to be perfect.The prisoner thought that Ji Zhen should be Dayin's master.It's a pity that Ji Zhen is not an emperor star, so he doesn't have the emperor's life anyway.
What Ji Zhen was looking at was the direction of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss.
Six years ago, there was still a huge pit, but now the attic that rises from the ground has a tendency to protrude into the clouds. 30 people work in turns, and the [-]-story Bliss Heaven Pavilion has been built to more than [-] floors.
But maybe it was God's wrath, and now there is no way to cultivate further.The emperor forcibly sent people to carry the stones up, and in the blink of an eye, the people and the stones all returned to the ground.This mysterious force blocked everyone's progress, including the emperor himself.
The national teacher went to investigate, but was almost killed by lightning on the top floor.It was a real drought thunderstorm. The weather was hot and the sun was blazing that day, but thunderstorms fell out of thin air. What was even more weird was that the thunder and lightning were only concentrated in the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss, while the rest of the imperial capital was intact.
Jianzheng took advantage of the situation and advised that the extravagance of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss might offend the gods of the heavens, so he tried his best to persuade the emperor to stop the construction.
The national teacher said that this was because the sage was not sincere enough to impress heaven and man.The grass-like emperor hesitated, and hid back in the harem to complain to the imperial concubine.The imperial concubine proposed to sacrifice 88 boys and girls. The emperor, who was dazzled by the dream of immortality, was blown by the pillow wind and wanted to send iron guards to search for children from the people's homes!
In the court hall, Ji Yunchen was furious, angrily scolded the emperor for being stupid and senseless, smashed his own jade pendant and walked away.
Apart from being less expensive than the emperor in terms of food and clothing, the side-by-side king speaks as much as the emperor.What's more, the emperor is so stupid that all the ministers can't see it.In the end, 99 death row prisoners were used to offer sacrifices to heaven, and the construction of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss was able to continue.
Ji Zhen remembered that after his father reprimanded the emperor in public, he thanked the guests behind closed doors, saying that he would not be sick, but the emperor came to the palace to look for him in light clothes.
With red eyes, the old emperor pleaded to his younger brother who was in his prime: "Yun Chen... I really have no choice... none of my children are gone."
"I don't want to die...Are you going to take away the last bit of hope from Brother Huang?"
Ji Yunchen said coldly: "Brother Emperor, why are you so confused? Those two monsters uttered nonsense, which fascinated your mind! Have you forgotten how the previous dynasty was ruined! Isn't it because of these people who visited immortals to seek medicine? Evil way!"
The shoulder-to-shoulder king grabbed the emperor's shoulders with all his strength, and the bones creaked: "Now your Paradise of Paradise is more than a hundred times more extravagant than the one in the previous dynasty! Do you really want to cause a catastrophe?"
"Brother Huang, what will you and I look like in a hundred years to meet our ancestors?!"
The emperor sat dejectedly in the golden silk wooden chair, covering his eyes with his skinny hands: "I only want a child...you and Zhen'er, I have nothing left. I have nothing..."
He suddenly became furious, pointing at Ji Yunchen and scolding: "You just don't like me! Do you have a son or not? When I die, you can help Zhen'er take over!"
Ji Yunchen looked at this old man in disbelief. The dragon robe was empty on him, as if there was only a dry bone under the gorgeous fabric.
"What are you... saying?" Ji Yunchen looked down at the emperor condescendingly, and Ji Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, saw his father's gloomy eyes.
He grabbed the emperor by the front and lifted the emperor from the chair. The eunuch beside him was frightened and begged: "My lord, my lord has something to say, please let go of your majesty..."
Ji Yunchen sneered and let go, the emperor turned pale and fell back.The shoulder-to-shoulder king bowed his head gently with a smile: "Brother Huang, you are getting old too... There are some things that should not be said, it is better to say as little as possible."
He patted the emperor on the shoulder, and the old man almost jumped up in fright: "Brother Emperor, those bastards don't have a good word to say. Don't listen to everything."
After returning to the palace that day, the emperor fell ill and was bedridden because of excessive fright.The imperial concubine invited the national teacher to rule, and the next day she went to court with a red face, as if nothing happened yesterday.
He even kindly rewarded a lot of things to the palace.
Others who weren't magicians naturally couldn't see it, but the emperor's strangeness couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Ji Zhen who was practicing magic.The dragon aura in his body has weakened to the point where he can barely feel it, his soul is like a candle in the wind, but I don't know what method the imperial concubine used to keep the emperor's soul alive and move freely.
Is the one sitting on the dragon chair a living person or a dead person? !
He told Ji Yunchen and Lord Jianzheng what he saw, and both of them turned pale with shock.Ji Yunchen pursed his thin lips tightly, and frowned.
It has come to this point...
Jianzheng said that in order to save the emperor's life, they should not act rashly.Just wait for the emperor star to appear in this world, and everything will be solved easily.
When will the damn emperor star appear?At that time, if you don't treat him well, you will be sorry for the many years of waiting.
Ji Zhen's eyes were deep.
Little did he know that in the future, he would really worry about Emperor Xing.
"Soon...soon." The supervisor grabbed an ebony counting chip, and slowly drew a map of star orbits on the sand table in front of him.
Up there, two stars approached each other.
Ji Zhen turned her head and smiled coldly: "This king will see you in person."
***
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, Ziwei star appeared in the south, and its brilliance flourished.The emperor turned pale with fright, afraid of being replaced, he ordered the national division and 36 iron guards to go to the south to investigate.
But Ji Zhen led the people to set off one step ahead of them, heading to the south.
It's been so many years... His slender and strong fingers clenched the rein tightly, and the rough leather rubbed against Ji Zhen's palms, but he didn't care, he just felt so excited that his whole body was trembling.
In the mountains in the south, there is the future emperor of Dayin who will accompany him throughout his life.
***
The future emperor Liu Lian slumped to the ground, wiping the sweat off his forehead in relief.
Sword Spirit's white clothes were stained with dust, and he seemed to be a little out of strength.He walked forward slowly, and stretched out his hands to Xuan Mingzi with red eyes.
Taking advantage of the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moonlight was at its peak, they joined forces to activate the formation, mobilizing the star power in Yuehua and Liu Lian's bodies to heal Xuan Mingzi's body wounds.
Under the moonlight, the furrows and wrinkles on the face gradually smoothed out, and the pale yellow skin covered with spots also returned to the firmness and smoothness of the past.Xuan Mingzi's thin limbs elongated in the abundant spiritual energy, returning to the good state of the year.
The taoist robe is not too loose on the body, and the cut is just right, which brings out his slender figure and the jade tree facing the wind.
"Master, you are so handsome." Liu Lian rubbed his chin.
Xuan Mingzi said weakly: "Hmph... I want you to take care of poor people." He quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Liu Lian: "...this stinky old man, his mouth is stubborn all day long." Mingming was so moved that he was on the verge of crying.
Forget it, for the old man's hard work in raising them for six years, Liu Lian doesn't have the same knowledge as him.Seeing the scene where Xuan Mingzi and Sword Spirit embraced each other intimately, Liu Lian felt a little envious in his heart.Although, he would not admit it even if he was killed.
Xuan Mingzi's body has regained its youth, but the lost cultivation level cannot be reunited.But he sees it very openly, at least the problem of lifespan is solved, and the cultivation base can be accumulated again.In order to reward his filial disciples, Xuan Mingzi cooks in person every day, which makes Liu Lian cry bitterly.
This day Xuan Mingzi traveled with Sword Spirit to find new sword-making materials for Liu Lian.So Liu Lian took Gulu and stayed in the Taoist temple.Sword Spirit is very thoughtful, and has prepared all the ingredients and money, so there is no need to worry about Liu Lian starving or freezing.
It's just that when Xuan Mingzi and the two came back one month later, they saw Liu Lian running out of the Taoist temple angrily, followed by Gulu who was at a loss.
Liu Lian turned back and shouted into the yard: "You mistake me for the wrong person. I'm not me. If I don't, I won't go with you!"
Before Xuan Mingzi had time to ask a question, a person walked out of the courtyard.
The young man has long hair like black sandalwood, his face is pale from his injuries, but his appearance is handsome and noble, and he exudes an arrogance that can't be concealed even by coarse clothes, which is absolutely extraordinary at first glance figure.
Why does this kind of person appear in the dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains?
Sword Spirit folded his arms, Xuan Mingzi raised his eyebrows, neither of them seemed to intend to intervene, they stood aside and watched the play.Xuan Mingzi calculated slightly with his fingers hidden in the sleeve of his robe, and the result was as expected.
The young man coughed a few times, trying to keep his attitude as gentle as possible: "You don't belong here, come with me."
He is a very thoughtful person.Xuan Mingzi thought, no matter how well he hides, his inviolable coercion will not be able to hide from their eyes.
It seems that my little apprentice may not be able to keep it.
Liu Lian frowned, and said calmly: "I said, I'm not the person you're looking for. This is my home, and I'm not going anywhere. How many times do I need to repeat it?"
His stubborn and resisting eyes made the man a little unhappy. Just as he was about to say something more, he put a hand on Liu Lian's shoulder, and Liu Lian turned around in surprise: "Master, Master? Are you back?"
"My good boy...you have to go with him." Xuan Mingzi said in a deep voice, "This is the person whose destiny intersects with your star."
Liu Lian felt bad.The carefree years in the mountains are finally coming to an end.Sure enough, if he doesn't make troubles, big things will come and trouble him.
"Big thing" stood opposite him, showing a gentle smile.But no matter how Liu Lian looked at it, he felt that he was provoking him.That expression is saying, look, you are destined to come into my palm, even your parents agree.
"Ji Zhen, don't be complacent." Liu Lian stared at him, "Sooner or later, I'll put you in a sack and beat you, keep your word."
Ji Zhen leaned on the door frame with a lazy demeanor: "Come on, just follow me, you can hit as many times as you like."
Gulu hugged his thigh, his cheeks bulging: "Durian, hug."
Six years ago, Gulu was still a milk baby, but now he has grown to the root of Liu Lian's thigh.He follows Liu Lian wherever he goes, but he still can't remember that he is a system, he only knows that he clings to Liu Lian every day, but he refuses to give in to Liu Lian's coercion and call him Dad.
Liu Lian hugged Gulu, and Gulu immediately sat firmly on his arm, wrapping his soft hands around his neck: "Durian, what are you eating today?"
"Eat you, you are fat and tender, just fry it in the oil pan for a few rounds." Liu Lian squeezed his little fat face, like pinching a steamed stuffed bun.
Gulu angrily grabbed the long hair tied behind his head and twisted it back and forth: "You bullied me again!"
Liu Lian shrugged and said intentionally, "Am I not right? My dear boy, dad raised you so fat, isn't it just to store food?"
Gulu shrank his neck in fright, not daring to move.Liu Lian hugged him and weighed him: "Where did all the food go? Why are you always so light?"
Gulu tilted his head: "I don't know."
Turning his little head around, he caught a glimpse of a striking red in the crowd, and hurriedly leaned into Liu Lian's ear: "Durian, I want candied haws!"
Liu Lian hugged him and walked towards the candied haws vendor.For four coppers, you can get two bunches of red candied haws.After one bite, the sugar coating shattered between the lips and teeth, and the sweet and sour hawthorn overflowed the mouth.
The market at the foot of the mountain is very lively. Today is fair day, and the weather is sunny. The streets are crowded with people, and there are stalls selling snacks and gadgets along the way.
Liu Lian weighed the purse in his hand, there were several ingots of grain silver in it, which was quite heavy.The old man Xuan Mingzi said that his apprentice had to be poor, but his daily food and clothing expenses were never less than Liu Lian's.Probably because of the feelings of changing diapers, Xuan Mingzi treats Gulu better.

It's not normal for nothing to happen.You know, if he doesn't want to make trouble, things will come to him on his own initiative.
"Grandpa Xuan Mingzi said that you are the Emperor Star, Dulian, will you be the emperor in the future?" Gulu said innocently.
Liu Lian quickly covered his mouth, with sticky icing sugar on his palm: "Shhh, don't talk nonsense."
Fortunately, there was a lot of noise coming and going around, and no one noticed a child's rebellious words.
Liu Lian lowered his voice and said, "I won't go out, as long as I live my life well, the mission will be considered complete." Anyway, he is very open now, anyway, the idiot of the main god has already exploded in an instant, and the body is still in his hands .Although I don't know what caused the system to lose all its functions and memory, but Liu Lian is not someone who takes the initiative to cause trouble for himself.

"Master, when will the Emperor Star appear in this world?" Ji Zhen stood in front of the window of the Star Observation Tower with his hands behind his back, his tone faintly revealing anxiety.
The prisoner was sitting in front of the star map, fiddling with the divination chips in his hand: "My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient."
In six years, Ji Zhen changed from "His Royal Highness" to "Prince".After being crowned, he took over the throne and officially took over the power and responsibility of the side-by-side king.
The prisoner was looking at the noble and domineering young man by the window, wearing only casual clothes, he had a dignified and respectful aura.In terms of scheming and imperial power, Ji Zhen can be said to be perfect.The prisoner thought that Ji Zhen should be Dayin's master.It's a pity that Ji Zhen is not an emperor star, so he doesn't have the emperor's life anyway.
What Ji Zhen was looking at was the direction of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss.
Six years ago, there was still a huge pit, but now the attic that rises from the ground has a tendency to protrude into the clouds. 30 people work in turns, and the [-]-story Bliss Heaven Pavilion has been built to more than [-] floors.
But maybe it was God's wrath, and now there is no way to cultivate further.The emperor forcibly sent people to carry the stones up, and in the blink of an eye, the people and the stones all returned to the ground.This mysterious force blocked everyone's progress, including the emperor himself.
The national teacher went to investigate, but was almost killed by lightning on the top floor.It was a real drought thunderstorm. The weather was hot and the sun was blazing that day, but thunderstorms fell out of thin air. What was even more weird was that the thunder and lightning were only concentrated in the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss, while the rest of the imperial capital was intact.
Jianzheng took advantage of the situation and advised that the extravagance of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss might offend the gods of the heavens, so he tried his best to persuade the emperor to stop the construction.
The national teacher said that this was because the sage was not sincere enough to impress heaven and man.The grass-like emperor hesitated, and hid back in the harem to complain to the imperial concubine.The imperial concubine proposed to sacrifice 88 boys and girls. The emperor, who was dazzled by the dream of immortality, was blown by the pillow wind and wanted to send iron guards to search for children from the people's homes!
In the court hall, Ji Yunchen was furious, angrily scolded the emperor for being stupid and senseless, smashed his own jade pendant and walked away.
Apart from being less expensive than the emperor in terms of food and clothing, the side-by-side king speaks as much as the emperor.What's more, the emperor is so stupid that all the ministers can't see it.In the end, 99 death row prisoners were used to offer sacrifices to heaven, and the construction of the Heavenly Pavilion of Bliss was able to continue.
Ji Zhen remembered that after his father reprimanded the emperor in public, he thanked the guests behind closed doors, saying that he would not be sick, but the emperor came to the palace to look for him in light clothes.
With red eyes, the old emperor pleaded to his younger brother who was in his prime: "Yun Chen... I really have no choice... none of my children are gone."
"I don't want to die...Are you going to take away the last bit of hope from Brother Huang?"
Ji Yunchen said coldly: "Brother Emperor, why are you so confused? Those two monsters uttered nonsense, which fascinated your mind! Have you forgotten how the previous dynasty was ruined! Isn't it because of these people who visited immortals to seek medicine? Evil way!"
The shoulder-to-shoulder king grabbed the emperor's shoulders with all his strength, and the bones creaked: "Now your Paradise of Paradise is more than a hundred times more extravagant than the one in the previous dynasty! Do you really want to cause a catastrophe?"
"Brother Huang, what will you and I look like in a hundred years to meet our ancestors?!"
The emperor sat dejectedly in the golden silk wooden chair, covering his eyes with his skinny hands: "I only want a child...you and Zhen'er, I have nothing left. I have nothing..."
He suddenly became furious, pointing at Ji Yunchen and scolding: "You just don't like me! Do you have a son or not? When I die, you can help Zhen'er take over!"
Ji Yunchen looked at this old man in disbelief. The dragon robe was empty on him, as if there was only a dry bone under the gorgeous fabric.
"What are you... saying?" Ji Yunchen looked down at the emperor condescendingly, and Ji Zhen, who was hiding in the dark, saw his father's gloomy eyes.
He grabbed the emperor by the front and lifted the emperor from the chair. The eunuch beside him was frightened and begged: "My lord, my lord has something to say, please let go of your majesty..."
Ji Yunchen sneered and let go, the emperor turned pale and fell back.The shoulder-to-shoulder king bowed his head gently with a smile: "Brother Huang, you are getting old too... There are some things that should not be said, it is better to say as little as possible."
He patted the emperor on the shoulder, and the old man almost jumped up in fright: "Brother Emperor, those bastards don't have a good word to say. Don't listen to everything."
After returning to the palace that day, the emperor fell ill and was bedridden because of excessive fright.The imperial concubine invited the national teacher to rule, and the next day she went to court with a red face, as if nothing happened yesterday.
He even kindly rewarded a lot of things to the palace.
Others who weren't magicians naturally couldn't see it, but the emperor's strangeness couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Ji Zhen who was practicing magic.The dragon aura in his body has weakened to the point where he can barely feel it, his soul is like a candle in the wind, but I don't know what method the imperial concubine used to keep the emperor's soul alive and move freely.
Is the one sitting on the dragon chair a living person or a dead person? !
He told Ji Yunchen and Lord Jianzheng what he saw, and both of them turned pale with shock.Ji Yunchen pursed his thin lips tightly, and frowned.
It has come to this point...
Jianzheng said that in order to save the emperor's life, they should not act rashly.Just wait for the emperor star to appear in this world, and everything will be solved easily.
When will the damn emperor star appear?At that time, if you don't treat him well, you will be sorry for the many years of waiting.
Ji Zhen's eyes were deep.
Little did he know that in the future, he would really worry about Emperor Xing.
"Soon...soon." The supervisor grabbed an ebony counting chip, and slowly drew a map of star orbits on the sand table in front of him.
Up there, two stars approached each other.
Ji Zhen turned her head and smiled coldly: "This king will see you in person."
***
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, Ziwei star appeared in the south, and its brilliance flourished.The emperor turned pale with fright, afraid of being replaced, he ordered the national division and 36 iron guards to go to the south to investigate.
But Ji Zhen led the people to set off one step ahead of them, heading to the south.
It's been so many years... His slender and strong fingers clenched the rein tightly, and the rough leather rubbed against Ji Zhen's palms, but he didn't care, he just felt so excited that his whole body was trembling.
In the mountains in the south, there is the future emperor of Dayin who will accompany him throughout his life.
***
The future emperor Liu Lian slumped to the ground, wiping the sweat off his forehead in relief.
Sword Spirit's white clothes were stained with dust, and he seemed to be a little out of strength.He walked forward slowly, and stretched out his hands to Xuan Mingzi with red eyes.
Taking advantage of the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moonlight was at its peak, they joined forces to activate the formation, mobilizing the star power in Yuehua and Liu Lian's bodies to heal Xuan Mingzi's body wounds.
Under the moonlight, the furrows and wrinkles on the face gradually smoothed out, and the pale yellow skin covered with spots also returned to the firmness and smoothness of the past.Xuan Mingzi's thin limbs elongated in the abundant spiritual energy, returning to the good state of the year.
The taoist robe is not too loose on the body, and the cut is just right, which brings out his slender figure and the jade tree facing the wind.
"Master, you are so handsome." Liu Lian rubbed his chin.
Xuan Mingzi said weakly: "Hmph... I want you to take care of poor people." He quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Liu Lian: "...this stinky old man, his mouth is stubborn all day long." Mingming was so moved that he was on the verge of crying.
Forget it, for the old man's hard work in raising them for six years, Liu Lian doesn't have the same knowledge as him.Seeing the scene where Xuan Mingzi and Sword Spirit embraced each other intimately, Liu Lian felt a little envious in his heart.Although, he would not admit it even if he was killed.
Xuan Mingzi's body has regained its youth, but the lost cultivation level cannot be reunited.But he sees it very openly, at least the problem of lifespan is solved, and the cultivation base can be accumulated again.In order to reward his filial disciples, Xuan Mingzi cooks in person every day, which makes Liu Lian cry bitterly.
This day Xuan Mingzi traveled with Sword Spirit to find new sword-making materials for Liu Lian.So Liu Lian took Gulu and stayed in the Taoist temple.Sword Spirit is very thoughtful, and has prepared all the ingredients and money, so there is no need to worry about Liu Lian starving or freezing.
It's just that when Xuan Mingzi and the two came back one month later, they saw Liu Lian running out of the Taoist temple angrily, followed by Gulu who was at a loss.
Liu Lian turned back and shouted into the yard: "You mistake me for the wrong person. I'm not me. If I don't, I won't go with you!"
Before Xuan Mingzi had time to ask a question, a person walked out of the courtyard.
The young man has long hair like black sandalwood, his face is pale from his injuries, but his appearance is handsome and noble, and he exudes an arrogance that can't be concealed even by coarse clothes, which is absolutely extraordinary at first glance figure.
Why does this kind of person appear in the dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains?
Sword Spirit folded his arms, Xuan Mingzi raised his eyebrows, neither of them seemed to intend to intervene, they stood aside and watched the play.Xuan Mingzi calculated slightly with his fingers hidden in the sleeve of his robe, and the result was as expected.
The young man coughed a few times, trying to keep his attitude as gentle as possible: "You don't belong here, come with me."
He is a very thoughtful person.Xuan Mingzi thought, no matter how well he hides, his inviolable coercion will not be able to hide from their eyes.
It seems that my little apprentice may not be able to keep it.
Liu Lian frowned, and said calmly: "I said, I'm not the person you're looking for. This is my home, and I'm not going anywhere. How many times do I need to repeat it?"
His stubborn and resisting eyes made the man a little unhappy. Just as he was about to say something more, he put a hand on Liu Lian's shoulder, and Liu Lian turned around in surprise: "Master, Master? Are you back?"
"My good boy...you have to go with him." Xuan Mingzi said in a deep voice, "This is the person whose destiny intersects with your star."
Liu Lian felt bad.The carefree years in the mountains are finally coming to an end.Sure enough, if he doesn't make troubles, big things will come and trouble him.
"Big thing" stood opposite him, showing a gentle smile.But no matter how Liu Lian looked at it, he felt that he was provoking him.That expression is saying, look, you are destined to come into my palm, even your parents agree.
"Ji Zhen, don't be complacent." Liu Lian stared at him, "Sooner or later, I'll put you in a sack and beat you, keep your word."
Ji Zhen leaned on the door frame with a lazy demeanor: "Come on, just follow me, you can hit as many times as you like."
