Rebirth of the Merry Warrior

Chapter 33 Carnelian Beads

A good bracelet was missing a bead, Shen Chengqian felt uneasy all day long, but he couldn't help it, so he had to find another gold thread to string the bracelet, and put it on his wrist again.

He was afraid that Long Chenyu would blame him for damaging the bracelet, so he didn't mention it.After sharing lunch with Long Chenyu, he went back to his room to take a rest.

However, he never thought that Bai Yu was not only the national teacher, but also the priest of the Shenge.

Lingqiu is a country of immortals and gods, and almost all the people in the country are theists, and they have always been very devout towards immortals and gods.Being able to serve as a priest of the Shenge, to a certain extent, shows that the human rights are supreme, even if they are not as good as the current monarch, they are still under one person and above ten thousand people.

Bai Yu's status is even more noble than he imagined.

Shen Cheng lay lightly on the couch, and turned over leisurely.

However, do the so-called immortal arts, the so-called living sacrifice rituals really exist?Those things cannot be explained by common sense.

Even in the modern age of rapid technological development, there is no way to explain the existence of those unnatural things.In the end, it's just that if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it.

In the warm and warm room, Shen Chengqian was tired from thinking, so he hugged the pillow and fell asleep for a while.When he opened his eyes again, he found that Long Chenyu was sitting at the table, carefully flipping through a seemingly old history book in his hand.

"General, when did you come?"

"It's been a while."

Shen Chengqian hurriedly straightened his clothes and stood up, then asked, "What are you looking at?"

Long Chenyu didn't raise his head, he just turned another page and said: "This is the history book of Beichen Yuan Kingdom that records Lingqiu specially. Before we went to sea, I specially asked my subordinates to rush back to the imperial capital to get it. "

"Beichen Yuan Kingdom also has a history book dedicated to recording Lingqiu?"

Long Chenyu nodded, and said: "Yes. However, it was only a few decades ago, when Beichen and Lingqiu had a good relationship, so all the big and small things in Lingqiu's country were recorded more carefully. Later, the two countries changed. With the new monarch, the friendship has faded, and there is no such detailed record."

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows shallowly, moved a round stool to sit beside Long Chenyu, and said with a smile: "But why did the general read the history of Lingqiu?"

"Because I suddenly remembered something." Long Chenyu turned his head to look at him, and said with a smile in his voice. "Telling this matter, Cheng Qian will definitely find it very novel."

"what's up?"

Long Chenyu lowered his head again, turned the book a few pages forward, pointed to a line of small characters and said: "Look here."

Shen Chengqian looked at the line of beautiful small characters.

That line of small characters records that in the past, there was Emperor Shoukang in Lingqiu, who lived a long life, reaching the end of his eighties.

There used to be Emperor Shoukang in Lingqiu, who died at the age of 80.

so what?What's new?

The next moment, Shen Chengqian remembered.The time he is currently in is 2000 years ago.At that time, the lifespan of human beings was extremely short, and the elderly who were half a hundred years old were extremely rare, let alone the eighty-year-old.

It's just longevity. This kind of thing may be rare, but it always happens.

What else is there to be novel about?

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows lightly, and murmured: "You just want to tell me that there was once a king who lived to be 80 years old in Lingqiu?"

"The point is not here." Long Chenyu said. "The point is, during the reign of Emperor Shoukang, many children disappeared in Lingqiu Kingdom and Beichenyuan Kingdom. However, after the death of Emperor Shoukang, the weird incident stopped."

In Emperor Ling's bedroom, Bai Yu brought freshly brewed warm tea and presented it to Yan Zhuo.

Yan Zhuo didn't raise his head, he stretched out his hand to take the tea cup, his thin lips just touched the mouth of the cup, but suddenly said: "Bai Yu, do you think I will live as long as Emperor Shou Kang?"

Bai Yu's expression moved slightly, and after a while, he still said gracefully: "Your Majesty is blessed with the same blessings as heaven, and he must be a person with complete blessings, longevity, and wealth."

"Great blessings equal to the sky? Haha, then I will follow the auspicious words of my teacher." Yan Zhuo drank warm tea and said with a light smile. "Everyone knows that Emperor Shoukang found the method of longevity at that time, so he lived so long. It's just that since Emperor Shoukang, there has been no such long-lived person in the royal family. I don't know if there is a method of longevity. It has not been handed down."

Bai Yuxiu frowned slightly, and said after a long time: "There is no way to live forever in this world. The length of human life is only determined by nature."

"Man's fate is predetermined? I believe that man's destiny will prevail." Yan Zhuo said. "Bai Yu, I am different from those former emperors who only cared about living in a small corner. I am a person who hopes to expand the territory of Lingqiu. This place on the island, which is as big as a palm, may be able to live in peace in a few decades, so in a few hundred years For thousands of years, the people of Lingqiu still can only wander on the sea, and still can only rely on the uncertain ocean? It’s not like Beichen, who sits and enjoys the rich land. With land, the people can be truly happy. "

Bai Yu lowered his head deeply, and said softly, "Your Majesty said so."

Yan Zhuo reached out his hand to lift his face, kissed him deeply, and said: "When the time comes, I will take the national teacher with me and travel all over the world."

"In other words, the disappearance of children is related to the law of longevity?"

Long Chenyu nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Shen Cheng pondered for a while, and said: "But if this is the case, why is there no emperor in Lingqiu who lives so long? Then Emperor Shoukang has discovered this method, so it should be passed on for the benefit of future generations. Emperor, it is because he does not abandon those children that he abandons this method."

Long Chenyu said: "Since ancient times when emperors were rich in the world, the second most important thing they thought of was longevity. If there is such a method, they have no reason not to use it."

Shen Chengqian continued: "But now, those children suddenly disappeared again. Could it be that someone has practiced the method of longevity again? But now the Emperor Ling has only two decades, and his life expectancy should be very long. He shouldn't be so anxious for himself. To prolong life, right?"

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing." Long Chenyu said solemnly. "This matter needs to be scrutinized in detail, I'm afraid it will be even more weird."

Shen Chengqian bowed his head in silence for a long time, then suddenly said: "General, I want to go to Yunshui Jingsi after nightfall today."

Long Chenyu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him: "What are you doing there?"

"Yun Shui Jingsi is the most gathering place for children in the palace today. If the prisoner is really a dignitary in the palace, he will definitely attack Yun Shui Jingsi again." Shen Cheng said shallowly. "If we can capture the criminal when he strikes, maybe the truth will come to light."

"Capture him, I'm afraid it won't be that easy." Long Chenyu said. "That man was able to bring children from Huangling to Lingqiu across the vast ocean. I'm afraid he used some kind of evil technique."

However, after nightfall, Long Chenyu followed Shen Chengqian to Yunshui Jingsi.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Triple Palace, Shen Chengqian saw a group of children who were no more than six years old washing clothes and watering flowers in the courtyard.It was supposed to be the age when parents doted on him the most, yet he was doing the tiring and rough work in the palace that adults couldn't bear, the distinction between high and low in this world was really cruel.

The nanny in charge who had offended Shen Chengqian last night saw the two coming, she hurried out of the palace gate and came up with a smile on her face.Seeing Shen Chengqian, he kowtowed first, and said, "Why did your lord come to such a lowly place as the Sanchong Palace? This place is unlucky. If your lord has anything to do, just tell the lowly slave."

Shen Chengqian already hated this person, but when he saw the nanny's obsequious look, he felt even more bored.He only said coldly: "Today, we came here on purpose to this triple palace, why, is the nanny going to drive us away?"

The nurse in charge quickly said: "Then how dare you, I don't know what your lord is doing in this triple palace?"

"You don't need to ask too much about this matter, just do your own work." Shen Chengqian said coldly without looking at her. "We'll just be on our own."

Although the nanny still wanted to please her, she gradually realized that she had attracted Shen Chengqian's dislike, and now she had said too many mistakes.Then he retreated quickly, and only a few clever children were pushed out from the palace to serve around him.

When Shen Cheng saw that those supposedly innocent children were all sallow and thin, he felt very distressed.However, he has nothing to do, even if he can control it for a while, he can't control it for a lifetime.When he is gone, children will still be enslaved in this country.If he saved them on his own initiative at this time, he would just give them hope for nothing, but in the end that hope would be nothing but cruel.

The two of them were guarding in the courtyard of the triple palace, and it was already past time in a blink of an eye, those children had already fallen asleep, but nothing happened.

Shen Cheng was sleepy, and only said softly: "I think that prisoner probably won't come tonight."

Long Chenyu just looked at him and said with a smile: "That's natural, you and I are guarding here like a pair of door gods, even if the prisoner has the guts of a bear, he doesn't dare to hit him head-on."

Shen Chengqian was silent for a while, and then screamed after a while: "You knew it a long time ago! Then why didn't you say it earlier! Standing in this cold weather for nothing!"

But Long Chenyu said helplessly: "My great military adviser, how did I know that your trick is just to guard the door of someone's house? I thought you had some subtle countermeasures."

Shen Chengqian stood there with a mournful face.Long Chenyu saw that he was very tired, so he said softly: "Okay, don't look wronged, go back to rest tonight. If that person has been here before and sees us guarding here, Definitely won’t come again.”

Shen Chengqian nodded, then stretched his muscles and bones, preparing to go back to Lingsu Palace with Long Chenyu.

But who would have thought that just a few steps into a corridor next to the Triple Palace, Shen Chengqian slipped and fell heavily on the ground.That fall was so hard that Shen Chengqian only felt that his whole body was hurting from the fall, even the cracks in the bones.Long Chenyu walked in front, and was really startled when he heard the movement, he quickly helped Shen Chengqian up and hugged him in his arms, and said, "What's the matter? Where did you fall? Why don't you look at the road?"

Shen Chengqian buried his head in Long Chenyu's arms, feeling very shy, and muttered after a while: "It's not that I don't look at the road, it's because some round thing slipped and fell."

"A round thing?" Long Chenyu asked. "This bluestone road is square, how can there be something round?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Shen Cheng held the lantern and groped around in the corridor.Suddenly, he saw a round object in the distance, he must have stepped on it just now and bounced it to the distance.

Shen Chengqian hurriedly pulled Long Chenyu over to have a look.

Seeing this, Shen Chengqian was really shocked.

It was a bright red jade bead, perhaps because he had stepped on it just now, with too much force, the originally round and plump jade bead had cracks.

At this moment, the jade beads, like red tears shed by a beauty, are quietly rolling along the cracks in the bluestone slabs.

The author has something to say: Why do I feel that since the general and my family have been together, it has become more and more funny than 0.0... What should I do? Wait online...
