Chapter 217

The clothes are all on the body, and it must be impossible to burn them. Maybe they will burn Xie Lian together. Xie Lian suggested: "Just wear it on your body first. Anyway, it can't suck my blood, and Lingwen shouldn't be able to issue instructions."

A burst of blue smoke drifted past, and where Lingwen was standing, there was only a blue tumbler, with a very serious expression, and it seemed to be holding a stack of files in his hand. Xie Lian put it away and stuffed it into his arms. The two left the side hall and sneaked into the main hall.

It's not an illusion. The main hall of the Lingwen Temple looks more gloomy than before. The mountains of books piled up from the ground to the top seem to be in danger, or they will fall down at any time and kill people. The two did not meet the guards, and went straight to a red gate in the depths.

Before he got close, Xie Lian heard a shocked and trembling voice coming from behind the door: "...How is it possible? How could this happen?"

It's the national teacher! Could it be that someone got there first? Xie Lian immediately kicked the door open and shouted: "Let go!"

Sure enough, there was not only the national teacher in the room. After the door was kicked open, Qi Qi looked back at him. The shock on the face of the national teacher has not faded: "...His Royal Highness?"

"..."

"..."

The national teacher's head didn't lift for a while, but immediately lowered it again and said, "Wait first - why is this happening, what a blessing!"

Xie Lian and Huacheng were speechless.

I saw that in the house, the national teacher and the other three people gathered a table, playing cards in full swing and intoxicated. Said to be the other three "people", in fact, they are not living people, they are all shoddy paper people, who can use some tricks to move and play cards with them. And what the national teacher just said was a sigh that he couldn't help but sighed after he got the card.

Xie Lian thought that the national teacher might be tortured and looked haggard in it. He didn't expect that he was still playing cards at this time, and he couldn't help but be very kind.

Isn't it kind! When he and Fengxin lived in Huangjiguan and went to the national teacher, six or seven out of ten he was playing cards, playing cards, playing cards! Eight hundred years later, playing cards again, like yesterday. Even the frenzy on the national teacher's face was the same. While staring at the cards in his hand, he said without turning his head: "Your Highness, you are finally here, but let me finish this game first..."

Xie Lian knew that as soon as he came to the table, he had committed the old problem of not recognizing his six relatives. This look is really different from what he was in the Shenwu Temple before. He couldn't look directly at him. When he went up, he had to drag him off the table: "Master, what time is it, stop fighting!"

The national teacher's eyes were red, and he shouted: "No no, let me finish it!!! It will be done right away! Just this game! Wait for me to finish this circle! It will be done soon, maybe I will win soon !!!”

Thanks for pity: "I won't win, I really won't win!"

...

Fortunately, this game is over soon. Although the national teacher swore that he was about to win, in fact he still did not win. After waving and accepting the three paper people, the national teacher finally returned to calm and normal.

He sat upright and said with a heavy eyebrow, "Your Highness, I know you will definitely come, and I have been waiting for you."

"..."

Thanks for the pity: "I really didn't see that you have been waiting for me..."

But of course he didn't say it, respecting the elders is still necessary. The national teacher said again: "I know you must have many questions in your heart."

Huacheng stood aside, leaning against the door, seemingly casual, probably in the wind. Xie Lian also sat in front of the national teacher and said, "Yes."

After a pause, he said: "First of all, I want to confirm that Jun Wu... is really Bai Wuxiang, that is, Prince Wu Yong?"

The national teacher said: "Don't doubt. He is."

Thanks for the pity: "I have nothing to do with Prince Wu Yong, do you? We are two completely different people."

The national teacher said: "The only relationship between you and Prince Wuyong is that he destroyed your country, Xianle."

"..."

Xie pity whispered: "But, the national teacher, you once told me that you don't know what Bai Wuxiang is, but you are sure that he was born because of me."

The national teacher said: "His Royal Highness, at that time, I really didn't know what it was. By the time I knew it, it was too late. Moreover, it is not wrong to say that he was born because of you."

Thanks for the pity: "What does that mean? And, that's the question - why did he destroy Xianle Kingdom?"

The national teacher stared at him and said, "Because of your words."

Thanks for a moment: "My word? What?"

The national teacher said: "'The body is in the infinite, the heart is in the Taoyuan.'"

"..."

For a long while, speechless. Xie Lian said incredulously: "...Is it gone?"

The national teacher said: "No more."

Thanks for the pity: "...Just this sentence? Is there any problem with this sentence?"

The national teacher said solemnly: "The problem is too big. Everything starts with your words!"

Xie Lian vaguely felt that what the national teacher was going to say would make him very unacceptable, and he wanted to call Huacheng, but before he shouted, Huacheng had already come over and sat beside him.

The national teacher said: "Have you seen those murals in Tonglu Mountain?"

Thanks for the pity: "I saw it. Are those murals left by you?"

The national teacher said: "It's me. Every time the copper furnace is opened, I will sneak in. On the one hand, I want to prevent the ghost king from being born. On the other hand, I want to find a way to leave some clues in various ways to tell others about Wu Yongguo , about Prince Wu Yong."

Xie Lianning said: "Then why don't you tell others directly, you must use such an obscure way?"

The national teacher said: "His Royal Highness, why do you think that almost no one in the world knows about Wu Yongguo?"

Xie Lian hasn't answered yet, Huacheng said: "Everything he knows has been cleaned up by him, isn't it?"

The national teacher said: "Yes. If the clues are left too obvious, or if they spread directly, not only I am in danger of being exposed, but all the people I see may disappear from this world. How many people are the same. Even if it is A city, he can raze it to the ground in three days. You know I'm not kidding."

Xie pity naturally knows. Ironically, he used to sigh with emotion, but fortunately Junwu is a god and not a fallen ghost, otherwise the world would be in chaos. The national teacher said: "So I can't let him realize that there are people who know these things in the world. But I'm not willing to know no one but me. I think, if they are careful enough and courageous people , you can find it naturally. Since you can't resist it, you can just follow the fate.

"I've been hiding in Tibet for so many years, and I've been hiding very well. He never caught me except when he almost couldn't escape eight hundred years ago. He was able to catch me this time because he was in the Tongluhong Forest. The frescoes I left behind were found in that temple, and after you guessed his identity in the copper furnace, he realized that I might not be dead, and left a lot of things that he didn't want people to know."

Xie Lian remembered that when they passed the last temple in the red forest of the copper furnace, the frescoes inside had been destroyed by the last few, which can be said to be the most critical ones. At that time, both he and Huacheng suspected that someone was hiding there, but they were not found. Thinking about it now, I am afraid it is very likely that Bai Wuxiang was really hiding in a corner of the temple at that time.

Thanks for the pity: "But, national teacher, why do you want to hide in Tibet?"

The national teacher said: "Of course it is because..."

Huacheng Road: "betrayal."

The word was a bit stinging, and the national teacher glanced at him. Huacheng's expression did not change, and said: "You betrayed him."

The national teacher said: "Almost. That's it."

He turned to Xie Lian and said, "How do you say it, Your Highness...

"All the things described in the murals are true. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuyong is like the unparalleled sun of Wuyong. How beautiful you were when you were Prince Xianle in the past, he is several times more beautiful than you.

"I and three of my classmates, a total of four people, used to be his attendants. After the prince ascended, he ordered us to go up together, and I have seen many different kinds of heavenly beings. It is no exaggeration to say that even in the crowd In the heaven where gods gather, he is also like the sun, so dazzling that it eclipses others."

The national teacher said, and inadvertently revealed a fleeting smile. Xie Lian always felt that when he addressed each other as "His Royal Highness", he was neither "Junwu" nor "Bai Wuxiang", just the young prince two thousand years ago.

He said: "In the past, you seem to have said something similar to me."

"Is there? People can't remember things when they are old."

"Yes. But, you say, he didn't ascend. He was dead."

The national teacher said: "That's probably because, I would rather he didn't soar."

Thanks for the pity: "Because the copper furnace volcano erupted?"

The national teacher did not answer directly, but only said: "His Royal Highness is too powerful.

"In his dream, he predicted that Wu Yong's future would be a sea of ​​fire, and he began to think of ways to save his people. If it were me now, I would never let him do that. However, at the time, none of us thought it would happen. What has it become? We all feel that now that someone is dying, what's wrong with saving people?

"However, things are not that simple at all.

"Volcanic eruptions can't be stopped. If you want no casualties, you can only move. But the scope of the volcano's invasion is too large, and it is not a matter of one or two cities. For princes, nobles and ordinary people, the best The solution is to conquer other countries and occupy new territories. Otherwise, other countries will not let so many Wuyong people move in on a large scale.

"But for His Royal Highness, this is not a solution at all. In wars, blood will be shed, and once blood is shed, it will make people jealous, and people will become cruel and no longer human.

"Wuyong State still sent troops out first. Wherever the soldiers went, no armor or grass was left. Moreover, because they wanted to 'make land' for the Wuyong people who would move there in the future, the generals ordered the slaughter of the people of other countries. The more you kill, the better, and the blood will flow into rivers of blood, and the corpses will pile up like mountains.

"When His Royal Highness found out, he was very angry. As you can see, he fell down on the battlefield and punished these Wuyong soldiers."

Xie Lian thought that this could be said to be Jun Wu when he was a teenager, or it could be said to be the white Wuxiang when he was a teenager, and he felt subtle in his heart. The national teacher continued: "However, it is not only him who is angry. This incident has made the princes and nobles of Wuyong Kingdom and some citizens very angry. Many people went to the temple to question His Royal Highness: We are just to survive, we need more Is it wrong to invade other people's land only when forced to do so?"

"The impact of this incident exceeded all of our expectations, and it became more and more intense. Some people have begun to shout that his statue will be thrown down and his temple will be burned, but His Royal Highness the Prince has resisted.

"He said that if Wuyongguo is the invaded party, he will defend it to the death and prevent the enemy from stepping forward, but they themselves must not invade others. He implored everyone to give up the war and wait for him to build something - he The bridge to the sky."

The national teacher said slowly: "There is no more land in the world, so let's send people to the sky to avoid it. Although this method is unbelievable, the four of us firmly believe in His Royal Highness, and firmly believe that he can do it. Yes. It should be said that we will fully support him no matter what he wants to do. Of course, other priests do not think so, and the whole heaven is against it, but His Royal Highness still resisted.

"He withstood three things at the same time: the incomprehension and complaints of the Wuyong people and the princes and nobles, the anger of the gods and gods, and the huge bridge to the sky."

Huacheng sneered and said: "Objection? I'm afraid it's more than just objection."

The national teacher nodded slowly and said: "If it's just against it, it's fine. But..."

Xie Lian vaguely guessed what was going on, but still asked: "But?"

The national teacher said: "The bridge needs a lot of time and terrible mana to be completely built. His Royal Highness can't be distracted at all. He has almost never been to other places, done other things, and never heard of it again. The prayers of other believers. There is only one thing he can do."

"However, a god who can only do one thing is bound to fail to retain believers. When he withstood the bridge on the first day, people thanked him and remembered him; the second day, the third day, the fourth day God, the same is true. One month or two months, I still want to thank him and remember him. But after a long time, it won't work.

"The volcano hasn't erupted yet, and His Royal Highness has been silently accumulating mana without doing anything else. People inevitably feel that he is not as powerful as before, and even said that he is not as dedicated as he used to be. At this time, it is inevitable that A new deity needs to be worshipped.

"Wuyong Kingdom has a large population and strong financial resources, and the faith of the believers is also very strong. You can see the prosperity of His Royal Highness Prince. Many priests have long coveted this site and believers, so..."

Thanks for understanding.

He said: "So... the priests picked this opportunity, and took advantage of the grievances and dissatisfaction of the Wuyong people against the prince's retreat from the battlefield before, seduced them, and divided up his believers and the source of mana... …yes."
