Heaven is fearless

Tiandao suddenly felt a sense of responsibility belonging to the old father.

This feeling is still a bit novel, Tiandao chewed in his heart for a while this kind of wonderful emotion that he had never experienced before, and looked at Chu Zhang with self-loved eyes: "Are you questioning what I said?"

He originally intended to persuade him with good words, and what Chu Zhang heard was that this person was threatening me!

It’s no wonder that Chu Zhang had such thoughts. The ghost king’s face is gorgeous and cold, with a gloomy and violent coldness. Di Er concealed deceitful thoughts, and he had a strange aura of a sickly beauty holding a knife in his casual words. In Chu Zhang's eyes, it was not that he had malicious intentions.

——All in all, this is the face of a witch who is very much in line with the face of a tyrant, and it is the kind of witch who thinks about doing bad things every day.

The weak and helpless Chu Zhang swallowed his breath, lowered his head and exposed his fragile neck to show his submission: "Chu Zhang dare not think so."

The Ghost King laughed, and some of the stubborn Heavenly Dao didn't realize that what Chu Zhang said was "dare not", not "nothing".

The laugh was low and hoarse, and the other party seemed very happy, and Mi Li Xia Nong's charming face approached him: "For the sake of your extraordinary talent, if there are difficult things in the future, you can do nothing if you don't get involved." Chaotang, I grant you a wish."

This voice rang in his ears, Chu Zhang heard a whole, and felt a breeze blowing in front of him, and then came back to his senses, in front of him was the east corner gate of the palace.

The gatekeeper looked at him suspiciously: "Grandpa? But you want to go back to the East Palace?"

There was sticky cold sweat on Chu Zhang's back, and he forced himself to calm down: "Yes."

The officer smiled and waved the guards away, without saying anything about checking the badges, and let them go directly: "You stood at the door for a long time without saying a word or moving, which surprised the humble officer."

Chu Zhang grabbed the "stand for a long time", almost suspected that the encounter in the peach forest just now was a big dream, but then, a cold and hard thing in his sleeve pierced his palm, crushing his just now. Guesses crushed to pieces.

Chu Zhang suddenly lost the mood to joke with the Ling Guan, nodded to him, and entered the palace gate without looking back.

Behind the corner gate is a long corridor, which is officially called Taiping Road, and a large tank for storing water will be placed every ten feet. Chu Zhang raised his hand, and only then did he see clearly the thing that appeared in his sleeve at some point.

This is a token with a strange texture, half the size of a palm, black and scarlet with a jade-like luster, carved with ferocious and ferocious ghosts of various colors on the edge, starving ghosts as thin as sticks, and evil ghosts dragging the ground with long tongues. Tongue ghosts, greedy ghosts with a big belly... These things that only exist in the imagination are vividly portrayed on the tokens. I don’t know if it’s an illusion. Chu Zhang seems to have heard whispers and grievances from another world. howl.

He shivered suddenly, turned the token over, and there were two complicated characters engraved on it, the strokes were curly and slender, like vines stretching and winding, elegant and solemn, beautiful is beautiful, but Chu Zhang couldn't understand what the words were .

He pondered the characters on it for a while, engraved these two characters in his heart, and turned his hands to put the token into his sleeve, but he paused.

The starving ghost on the token...it didn't seem to be in this posture just now?

******

Not to mention how much psychological shadow this living ghost token brought to Chu Zhang, the ghost king who kindly sent his future disciple back to the palace with his sleeves hanging down sat on the peach tree, shaking the empty wine jar regretfully, Tuck it back into the sleeve, pat the clothes and prepare to rush back to the East Palace.

Just about to make a trick to ride the clouds and ride the fog to have fun, a sword light shot from afar.

This sword light is as cold as frost, and it flew from thousands of miles away to the nearby place in an instant. Xi Yi twisted the formula to cover his figure, but the sword light didn't find anyone below, and it came straight from the The nine-day-high clouds flew away.

Relying on his powerful eyesight, the ghost king penetrated the aura of body protection, and saw the person who came from Yujian clearly.

Standing on a long frost-colored sword was a tall and straight young man, dressed in a long robe that was as clean as plain snow, with a high crown and tied hair, his eyebrows were as handsome as a god's, but there was a scarlet sword pattern between his eyebrows like a phoenix feather. His sleeves are facing the wind, and his body is surrounded by the unique starlight of abundant aura. His whole body is like a capitalized "immortal", his expression is like piled up with frost, and there is no trace of love, hatred, lust, or lust in his whole body, as if he is a handful of snow in Tianshan Mountain. Dao, in the long wind, the snow is like jade, and the pines are like emerald.

It's immortal, cold, and evil.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Tiandao pointed at the young man who had gone away and disappeared in an instant: "I don't like such a hard sword cultivator the most. He looks so good-looking, but he wants to look like an ice cube."

Law deeply agrees: "Yeah, it looks very difficult to get along with."

Tiandao was a little frustrated: "Do I have an incarnation who is also a sword cultivator?"

Law nodded: "It is the sword master of Taisu Sword Sect in Kunlun Mountain, the leader of the immortal way."

Tian Dao let out a long sigh: "Although I don't like it, the sword masters are probably like this in the impression of ordinary people, right?"

Fa Ze let out a long "hmm...", Tiandao looked at the distant sword light again, and then it turned into a cloud of green and gray mist and dissipated in place.

Jianxiu, who had traveled tens of thousands of miles with his long sword, felt something, stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at where he came from, frowned and held his breath, but he didn't find anything for a long time, so he couldn't help but wondered secretly.

But he quickly opened his eyebrows, thinking that he would see his master in a while, his frosty face melted into a slight smile, and quickly put aside the illusion just now, and drove the long sword again to gallop away into the distance .

One day in the sky is less than three years in the human world. The sword cultivator in the nine heavens hurried on the ground with secret joy, and the prince in the magnificent palace in the human world just opened his eyes.

As soon as Shao Tianheng opened his eyes, he saw Chu Zhang who was obediently holding a book and sitting beside him. The other party had already changed into ordinary clothes, and he had not yet reached the age of crowning. His long black hair was only tied behind his head, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his eyelashes were long. She also raised a little fat, and she looked like a vigorous little girl when she was not talking.

Thinking of this, Shao Tianheng suddenly laughed.

Chu Zhang was alarmed immediately, closed the book and came over: "Your Highness is awake?"

His expression was full of dependence, and he obediently lay beside Shao Tianheng's bed: "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

Shao Tianheng stroked Chu Zhang's temple hair lazily with one finger: "Laugh, you look like a little girl now."

Chu Zhang opened his eyes wide, but he was not angry, and tilted his head with a smile: "Like a little girl? Does Your Highness like a daughter?"

Now that he is favored by Shao Tianheng, he is becoming more and more daring. The fear and timidity he had when he first entered the palace went to nowhere, and he even joked.

Shao Tianheng glanced at him with a half-smile: "I don't want such a delicate daughter alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to marry in the future."

Chu Zhang smiled sullenly: "My daughter is also good, you can sing and dance for His Highness, and comfort His Highness's worries in illness. I think His Highness dislikes me and I can't chat to relieve boredom, so I turn a corner and complain that I am not as caring as a girl. ,Yes or no?"

Shao Tianheng tapped his forehead casually, and cursed softly, "You're the only one who can talk like that! Why don't you just shut up and dance for Gu!"

Chu Zhang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

This punishment sounded like a reward to him, and Shao Tianheng was a little bit dumbfounded: "It's not as good as your wish, and it will be recorded in the account, and you will be punished together next time."

As he spoke, he turned his eyes and saw Chu Zhang's book on the thick carpet: "What were you reading just now?"

Chu Zhang went back to pick up the book, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I don't understand it too... It's a random book taken from His Highness's desk, and there are many characters that I can't read."

He showed Shao Tianheng a look at the cover, and Shao Tianheng said "Ugh": "It's okay if you don't understand, this is a book that was published before the same text of the Chaoshu Tongwen. In the previous dynasty, all kinds of fonts were messy and popular, both elegant and vulgar. Many fonts are handed down. It all disappeared in the end, this book is just flipping through it in my spare time...how can you not read it?"

Chu Zhang turned two pages and pointed out a few places. Shao Tianheng answered them one by one. Chu Zhang suddenly closed the book: "I suddenly remembered that I saw two characters somewhere, and I didn't recognize the font."

He took Shao Tianheng's hand, and slowly traced the words curled like vines stretching in his palm.

Shao Tianheng closed his eyes to feel the crooked lines, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched, and then he regained his composure.

After a long while, facing Chu Zhang's expectant gaze, Shao Tianheng replied slowly: "This is the elegant script most respected by the family of the previous dynasty. It has the word 'xi' and the word 'yi'. You seem to have learned it."

Chu Zhang lowered his head and chewed the word Xiyi over and over in his mouth. After hesitating for a while, he asked softly, "Your Highness, how much do you know about cultivation?"

Shao Tianheng was not surprised that he asked this question, and immediately regained his energy. It's teaching time!

He organized his language: "Cultivation has existed since ancient times. There are many books in Zangshuge related to cultivation. There are also many folk cultivators, but most of them are led by the teacher to practice in the door after they get started. , Few people come out of the mountain, and even if they do, they act in a low-key manner, so it seems unknown."

"However, there are probably gains and losses. In the homes of the royal family and nobles, there are few cultivators, but among the poor, there are more talented and intelligent people. Of course, this is not absolute. I have read in an ancient book that there are noble families. My son, who was born in Jinxiu sorghum, practiced hard, became a great power, and lived for thousands of years, it can be seen that this also depends on oneself..."

"Your Highness," Chu Zhang suddenly interrupted him, and asked seriously, "Since practice can prolong life, why don't you practice?"

He asked earnestly, with clear longing in his eyes. The prince who was lying in the brocade quilt in front of him turned his face and glanced at him. His long hair like a dark cloud swayed on the light almond-colored bed pillow, making him look like a pair of wisps. The cold ink falling between the mist and water waves.

"This..." Shao Tianheng pondered for a while, "The premise of practice is to cut off cause and effect. People in the royal family are born to be connected with the luck of the world. Being alone as the crown prince, karma is especially heavy. It is a taboo in practice. Solitude has to bear In this world, how can you abandon it halfway and find the way to reach the sky by yourself?"

What he said was plain, but Chu Zhang heard something unusually heavy. He opened his eyes wide and stood there for a while, his shoulders trembling slightly. Then he said word by word: "Your Highness wants to do something." Whatever, I will follow you."

Shao Tianheng smiled at him: "Why did you suddenly ask about cultivation? Are you interested in it? If you are interested, Gu can let you go..."

"I'm not going," Chu Zhang said quickly, "I'm not going anywhere, just follow Your Highness."

Shao Tianheng was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes suddenly became strange: "You... don't want to leave the palace?"

Chu Zhang had no doubt about him, and nodded seriously.

Shao Tianheng's expression became more and more strange, he hesitated for a while: "You are still young, you should have your own preferences... You will get married next year, and you will also move out of the East Palace at that time..."

"I don't want to get married!" Chu Zhang retorted in a low voice, Shao Tianheng looked at him in surprise, Chu Zhang avoided his gaze, he was afraid that his eyes would reveal his emotions, "I... I don't want to get married, I don't want to leave, I want Stay in the palace..."

Chu Zhang muttered to himself, not noticing that Shao Tianheng took a deep breath, his eyes were straightened, and his mind was full of "Is it true?!" A few large characters lined up horizontally and then vertically, back and forth Zooming in and out of the playback took up the whole mind.

"You..." Shao Tianheng felt his teeth ache suddenly, and remembered that he heard it from some mortal, that he should not be too strict with children, otherwise it may backfire, so he carefully considered the words, "You are fourteen years old, the same age as you Most of your children are going to inherit the family business, and you are in a special situation, if you really don't want to get married so early, then it's not impossible to delay it for another two years, but what do you want to do during this time?"

Chu Zhang's eyes lit up after hearing what he said, and he replied without hesitation: "I want to help His Highness!"

Shao Tianheng was dumbfounded: "Want to become an official in the court?"

After Chu Zhang finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly waved his hands: "I, I didn't mean that... I didn't mean to ask His Highness for an official position..."

He was still trying to explain, but Shao Tianheng waved his hands indifferently: "It's okay, so what if you want an official position, the lonely eldest son, can't you go to court?"

The more Shao Tianheng thinks about it, the more he feels that this is feasible. As long as Chu Zhang is busy, how can he have time to think about these love affairs?Then maybe he won't like Emperor Wei anymore!

Moreover, Shao Tianheng also thought about it in a different position. If it was him, he would definitely not like the immediate boss who gave him so much work, and it wasn't because he was masochistic.

So Chu Zhang was still thinking about how to explain it, and Shao Tianheng had already come to a conclusion with a slight smile: "Then let's be a parent officer for two years, and I will ask someone to arrange it for you."

Chu Zhang stopped what he wanted to say, and after a short silence, he suddenly said: "Compared to my parents...Your Highness, I want to lead the army to fight."

It is a real overstepping for a proton to say this. Chu Zhang knew that he shouldn't even have such an idea, but he still said it out of nowhere.

Shao Tianheng didn't seem to expect that he would say such a thing, turned his face and looked at him fixedly, hummed for a while, and didn't say a word other than that.

Chu Zhang felt a little fear belatedly, he slowly lowered his head, staring at the patterns on the carpet in a daze.

After a while, a hand suddenly reached out from the top of his head and patted him: "Why are you in a daze? You still want to lead the army with your small body? From now on, you will run around the East Palace twice a day, and you will not be allowed to eat until you finish the run. You can eat breakfast on time, and then come to lead the military talisman."

Chu Zhang couldn't believe his ears, he raised his head in a daze, Shao Tianheng shook his head helplessly: "Are you happy?"

Chu Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up like stars: "Your Highness! You...you agree?"

Shao Tianheng raised an eyebrow: "Your Royal Highness looks very unreasonable?"

Chu Zhang was so happy that he didn't know what to say, Shao Tianheng looked at him and said, "Okay, if you make up your mind, you don't need to go to Taixue from tomorrow on. If Taixue doesn't teach this, let's follow Guxue."

This unexpected joy once again knocked Chu Zhang out of his mind, he suddenly straightened up, the young man's thin and slender arms enveloped him, he hugged Shao Tianheng, and his warm breath brushed the earlobe of Prince Wei: "Your Highness , in the future, I will be your knife, your sword, to open up your territory and defend your home and country."

Shao Tianheng was stunned for two seconds, then returned his hand and gently hugged the joyful child, and answered him: "Okay."
