Heaven is fearless

And after Chuzhang and the others left, half of the lights in the sleeping hall were quietly extinguished, and there was no light at all when His Royal Highness went to bed. If the slightest light fell into the sleeping tent, he would wake up and couldn't sleep all night, so the servants After hanging several layers of gauze curtains, the palace people blew out all the candles in the screen, leaving only a lantern covered with silk beside the footrest, which was lit for the palace people who served at night.

And in the pitch-black tent, in the soft silk bed like a pile of clouds, the prince who was supposed to be asleep was whispering in his consciousness.

[it's him? ] There was no preface or afterword to what he said, and he let it out halfway without thinking, but those who understood it immediately followed up with certainty. The voice sounded like a child who hadn't been weaned, and the tone was extremely immature.

[it's him.He has great luck, which is enough to support his destiny as the son of heaven. If he can be cultivated to take over the position of the leader of the human race, your fall will be delayed for a long time. ]

The existence that talks to him is invisible and intangible, but the words it speaks have a weak mysterious power, as if the words passing through its mouth are the laws that cannot be violated.

[That's very easy, as long as you kill the old emperor and give him the throne, wouldn't everything be fine? ]

[…Your idea is interesting.But before the incarnation, I told you that your behavior must conform to my logic. A benevolent and charitable prince will not kill his father for no reason, let alone hand over the throne to a Southern Xinjiang prince for no reason.Otherwise, what would you do if you worked so hard to create an incarnation in the Tao? ]

The voice briskly revealed the true identity of the person living in the body of Prince Wei.

Heaven!

The principle of the transformation of all things in the world, grasping the ambiguity of life and death in the world, and the division of the Dao, the most subtle in the world of mortals is the Dao of Heaven, and the lingering of mountains and rivers for thousands of miles is also the Dao of Heaven, whether people become immortals, gods, or trapped in the Dao of Heaven Under it, it cannot escape.

But from immortals to demons, from the ghosts under the Nine Nethers to the witches and gods above the Nine Heavens, everyone thinks that the Dao of Heaven is the "big self" without self-awareness, the only will of all beings for hundreds of millions of years, and the eternal and protective law that protects the world. The "concept" of running...

But now, someone actually pointed out that the way of heaven has turned into a human? !

This fact, which is enough to shock all living beings, happened quietly in a corner of the world.

[God?How can there be such a miserable way of heaven, who was told by his own law that he was going to die as soon as he became wise, and had to incarnate in the lower realm to find the son of the way of heaven to repair the incomplete world...] The way of heaven, possessing the supreme status and power, complained faintly.

[—and seven more to find. ] Law has no mercy at all, pointing out the terrible facts for his half body that refuses to face the reality sharply and honestly.

[A human master, a ghost king, a witch king, a demon king, a fairy master, a true Buddha, and a demon king have a long way to go. ] Tiandao counted on his fingers, a little frustrated.

[Who told you that you have a big flaw in yourself? With such a congenitally deficient way of heaven, it is already very remarkable to be able to support you to gain wisdom. If you have not achieved wisdom in another 1000 years, then this world will be reduced to ashes. Wouldn't it be nice to have a direction to work on rather than die silently? ] Law continued to add, and the slightly milky voice revealed a bit of inhuman coldness when he said this.

Tiandao sat hugging his knees in his own consciousness, and changed the angle of complaint: "Can't you make a better avatar? Shao Tianheng's body is too weak, I am really afraid that when I can't breathe Sleep to death in a dream."

The law is a faint stream of light in the conscious world built by Tiandao, like a star that shuttles around him with a lantern: "No. If you don't have the incarnation of wisdom, Dawei's life should be exhausted. This generation The emperor's incompetence and injustice aroused people's resentment, and the common people all over the world finally rose up and overthrew the Great Wei Dynasty, and the human race fell into hundreds of years of separatist regimes and wars, slowly coming to an end."

"Shao Tianheng's incarnation is the last stroke I forcibly reversed the fate of Da Wei. Because it is your incarnation, he naturally has the powerful luck of the lord of the human race, but Da Wei can no longer afford such luck. So I had no choice but to use the luck of your own incarnation to pay off the debt, and it became like this."

The conscious world of Tiandao is a sea of ​​clouds that is extremely barren and thin. In the east, the sun is shining brightly, but there will never be a morning sun rising. In the west, there is a magnificent twilight river of stars. A majestic and grand picture scroll, in the sea of ​​clouds there are mountains and peaks, lakes and seas are scattered, the supreme ruler of the world sits on the flowing clouds, with long black hair hanging down his back, a pair of inorganic gold and silver pupils of different colors With a trembling coercion, the loose white robe was wrapped around the body casually, the wide sleeves hung down to the top of the clouds, and a large piece of skin was exposed from the neckline.

"That's really bad," he commented, without emotion.

The way of heaven is an absolutely just existence, and only ruthlessness can control the trajectory of the people in the world. Such ruthlessness is ruthlessness to others, and it is also ruthlessness to oneself. Even after gaining an independent personality, the long-standing indifference and peace have not changed.

The law also said: "Although you have found a son of heaven, in order to be sure, you still have to check whether his physique is suitable to be the leader of the human race. If you find that he is not suitable after raising him for a long time, it will be a waste."

Tiandao blinked: "You didn't say this before."

The law got stuck for a while, and some self-doubt: "Really... Maybe I forgot? In short, it's very simple as long as you have physical contact with the other party, and you will definitely do it! Oh, it's almost dawn, you should gone back."

Tian Daozhang heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the surging sea of ​​clouds in front of him, and muttered to himself: "Okay, it's time to go back and be a father."

In order to keep this world from becoming ashes due to the loss of Heavenly Dao, and of course to save their lives, the newly born Heavenly Dao had to follow the laws and incarnate into the lower realm together, looking for sons of luck who were strong enough to train them to be able to support the world Son of Heaven.

But now, their journey of being a teacher has just begun.

***

Chuzhang was arranged by the court lady to live in Chengming Terrace not far from Shao Tianheng's Yaoyi Hall. Although it is called the Terrace, there are several pavilions in the front and back halls, surrounded by ponds, landscapes, and flowers of various colors. The lotus pond is wide and there are pieces of bamboo. , quiet and beautiful, it doesn't look like a place for entertaining guests at all.

Chu Zhang probably knew why he was placed here. After all, he is a foreigner and cannot live in the back garden of the East Palace. If he is too close to Yaoyi Hall, he will be in touch with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and even meet the prince's staff. Obviously not a good thing for a proton.

So after a little inquiring and knowing where Chu Tianfeng lived, he nestled in the Chengming Terrace with peace of mind.

It's just that he is nesting here alone, and he can't help but quietly look to the west——

On the west side, separated by many flowers and trees and mountains and water ponds, bypassing a small garden is Yaoyi Hall.

Although he only walked this road once, every minute and every second he came back, he portrayed the appearance of this road in his heart.

——The eldest prince of Southern Border is a genius with a photographic memory, and only he himself knows about this.

If he wants to meet him, there will be blooming winter plums on the road, quiet pruning bamboos on both sides of the road, tall and straight and beautiful like that person, and then there will be a lotus pond with no buds in it, but there will be flowers tied with colored silk. The lotus lantern, floating and wandering at night, is more beautiful than the stars in the sky, and then he will walk through the rockery covered with moss, and there are standing lanterns made of golden lotus flowers along the road, emitting a gentle light that never goes out in the whistling snow... …

"Pa-ta." A chess piece landed on the weighing pan and made a crisp sound. Chu Zhang was startled, only to realize that he was distracted again.

And... I remembered what happened that night.

He sighed annoyedly, and carefully picked up the black and white chess pieces in his hand one by one and put them back into the chess box, closing them with care.

This pair of chess pieces was rewarded by the crown prince, and together with many other clothes and daily necessities, they were sent to him the next day.

Born in southern Xinjiang, Chu Zhang is familiar with voodoo and herbal techniques, as well as music and dance, but he is not very proficient in the Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting of the Great Wei Dynasty, but he saw this chess piece among so many things at a glance.

When he picked up the chess piece, the court lady who brought the gift, Lue, covered her mouth in surprise, and then laughed lively: "Ah, do you also like to play chess? This chess is called 'Zhaocuo', which is quite popular with the Crown Prince." Love it, don't disappoint His Highness's loving heart."

Chu Zhang didn't hear the latter words at all, but hugged the slightly cool jade chessboard in his arms like a bewilderment, and he didn't know where the fumes came from.

... Was this chess set originally his?

He didn't dare to think about anything else, but was full of joy in holding this insignificant sweetness.

The last black jade chess piece was closed, and Chu Zhang stared blankly at the chessboard.

He... would love to see him.

After seeing him, I couldn't sleep day and night.

***

However, before Chuzhang could think of a way to see the prince, an oral order came from Yaoyi Hall, announcing that Nangong Chuzhang would see him.

Chu Zhang almost suspected that he had lost his mind in the long-term anticipation. With only emotions of joy and fear in his heart, he hurriedly changed into decent clothes, and followed the servant outside.

Although the Eastern Palace is called the Eastern Palace, it covers an area as large as half the size of Miyagi City. The flowers, trees, mountains and rivers are scattered here and there, even in winter, it has an aura like early spring, with an elegant and beautiful appearance of wealth and honor in the world.

The servant who led the way was also a talkative person. Chu Zhang just pretended to be shy and shy, and then quietly stuffed him with some gold. At the beginning of the construction, most of the Yuquan Mountain outside the palace city was taken in, and it took 11 years to repair it..."

Chu Zhang didn't want to hear the history of the Eastern Palace, and it was difficult to interrupt, so he could only listen patiently, and then calmly led the other party to say more: "It sounds like His Majesty really loves His Highness the Crown Prince."

The servant immediately said: "That's not true! The Holy Majesty is the ultimate father to His Royal Highness! His Highness is born weak, and the Holy Majesty will send an imperial doctor to check the pulse every day. Every day, the pulse will be read by himself. If His Highness feels unwell, the Holy Majesty will immediately Take a ride to the East Palace to visit..."

The servant said with a blushing face: "But our Highness can definitely afford His Majesty's love! For so many years, the government and the public, how can anyone say anything bad about His Highness? Even Cui Yushi, who often admonishes His Majesty, is full of praise for His Highness!"

Chu Zhang frowned slightly as he listened.

He didn't know much about these political affairs, but with his natural sensitivity, he still noticed something wrong: as an emperor, others would praise his heir well, so wouldn't he have no grievances at all?

Even ordinary people would feel jealous, not to mention that Emperor Wei was famously jealous of virtuous people.

Yes, Jealousy!

A majestic emperor, actually jealous of his minister's virtuous name spread far and wide, and hinted that he would return him to his hometown with his seal!Only Emperor Wei could do such a ridiculous thing. Back then, this incident was spread all over the country as a joke, even Chu Zhang in the Southern Border Palace had heard about it.

Chu Zhang wanted to ask again, but the servant closed his mouth and waved his hand slightly to indicate that he was here.
