Chapter 556: Star Shen
Even though he had suppressed the sound of footsteps to a minimum, the younger brother still opened his eyes alertly the moment he stepped into the room. He almost instinctively grasped the ancient dust in his hand. After seeing clearly that it was his elder brother, he immediately raised his index finger and put it.
In her lips, she signaled him to be silent.
Xiao Yibai stopped. After experiencing this melee in the mountain city, Yun Xiao was leaning on his shoulder and fell asleep. Although there was a soft spot not far behind where she could lie down and rest, she insisted on leaning next to her brother.
It seems that only in this way can I put down all my guard and fall asleep peacefully.
Xiao Qianye hesitated for a moment and caught a glimpse of the anxious look on his elder brother's face. He had no choice but to gently pick up Yun Xiao and lay her flat on the bed, and then walked out of the room with him.
The moment he left, Yun Xiao opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out his hands to grab something, but felt weak again, as if his body had fallen into an abyss and could not wake up.
The small scratch on her shoulder was pulling her deeply like a bottomless pit for some reason, and even the firelight of the Imperial Bird could not shine through it.
After walking to the deserted backyard, Xiao Qianye frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Look at this -" Xiao Yibai took his younger brother and walked directly to the pavilion. He used the stone table in the pavilion to directly open a light mirror. Suddenly, the three people in Wangyue Tower appeared on the other side of the mirror. Xiao Qianye felt his scalp
Yi Ma, then looked at Emperor Tianzun and Gongsun Yan. They really didn't want to say a word and were about to turn around and go back immediately. Xiao Yibai quickly grabbed his brother's sleeves and persuaded him angrily, "Don't leave in a hurry, look.
Look at that star map."
"I don't understand that. What's the use of holding me back..." Xiao Qianye tried to break away from his elder brother's hand in a strange way, but still glanced impatiently into the light mirror. It was this glance that made him whole
The person froze on the spot and even jumped over to get a better look.
Ming Xi looked at the dramatic changes in his expression within a few seconds, and suddenly there was a secret smile in his eyes. He said lightly: "I had a weird dream. There was a weird person in the dream, and he was leaning on his coffin.
This star map is engraved on it, but the map in the dream is more magnificent than the one in the sand table. It is like a glorious dynasty history scroll that is breathtaking. Unfortunately, it is a pity that I haven't had time to appreciate it.
Then I woke up from the dream."
Xiao Qianye didn't reply. The scene in the underground palace flashed before his eyes repeatedly. He suddenly realized something more important. He raised his head and looked at the smiling emperor with lightning eyes. After a while, Mingxi sighed slightly, as if asking an irrelevant question.
The important question is asked calmly: "How long can I live?"
His words shocked Gongsun Yan and Xiao Yibai at the same time. Only Xiao Qianye still looked at him calmly, as if he was not surprised that he would ask such a taboo question in such an understatement.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Mingxi knocked on the table to bring the stunned people back to their senses. However, his expression was much more complicated than before. His light golden eyes closed slightly and he whispered: "In the dream
That person should be the legendary founding emperor Ming Zhen, right? Could it be that the scene in the dream is the underground palace that the royal family has been searching for for thousands of years without success? If inferred from this, the star map on the coffin is the history of the Ming Dynasty. He was the first
Star, I... am the tail star, that's why the treasure thief in Yangchuan said, 'The blood of the emperor is about to be completely ended', is that right?"
Xiao Qianye was still silent, but he nodded instinctively. Mingxi paused for a moment, and suddenly felt a sense of time and space confusion. After a while, he sighed leisurely: "Historical records state that the founding Emperor Tianshang was thirty-six years old.
Chuxue suddenly felt unwell that year, and when he was touring Yangchuan with the empress and concubine, he suddenly passed away in Daxi City. His posthumous affairs were also handed over to several close associates who were traveling with him. From then on, the emperor's mausoleum became the
The only unsolved mysteries are some stories widely circulated among treasure thieves, thirty-six years old, thirty-six years old..."
He muttered this ominous number repeatedly, feeling something in his heart. There was a look of compassion and insight on his eyebrows, and he asked in a low voice: "If the star map is accurate, then I should also be thirty-six years old."
In which year will you die?"
Talking about his own life and death in such a calm and fearless way, there was an unpredictable warmth deep in the emperor's eyes, which made Xiao Qianye feel extremely uncomfortable. His face also changed slightly, and he murmured back: "He is...
I felt unwell for the first time at my thirty-sixth birthday party. After emergency medical treatment and careful nursing for a long time, although I never suffered any serious illness, my body was getting weaker day by day. When I turned thirty-six, it was the first snow season, or maybe
It was because he felt that his time was running out that he took his queen and his cronies to Yangchuan. I saw him in the mirror circle of the Sun Temple. His queen became the guardian of the sun and was always with him.
about."
"Before he died, his biological mother, Xiyu, the Moon Goddess in Heaven, finally returned to her child and took out a piece of his heart that embodies the 'life' of the Sun God and the 'protection' of the Moon God.
blood, and will sleep forever in the underground palace together with the body. This blood is very important, because the moon god knew early on that the blood of the emperor would be completely terminated one day in the future. This star map in front of you
, is a technique unique to the rootless people, called 'Star Sinking'. It can accurately display the beginning and end of a period of history, but it cannot interfere with the trajectory of the big stars. The first star is the founding Emperor Tianshang.
,Tail Star…it’s indeed you.”
"That blood..." As if he finally realized something, Ming Xi tightened his hand slightly, looked directly at Xiao Qianye, and asked calmly, "Is it the blood you took to save Yun Xiao?"
Xiao Qianye raised his eyes, looked at the dignified emperor, and responded seriously: "Yes, after I entered the underground palace, the founding queen Lao Ji once thought about stopping me. She hoped that you could go to the Yangchuan Sun Temple. She
I will take the initiative to give this blood to you, so that you can reverse the same illness as Emperor Tianshang, otherwise you will die at the age of thirty-six like him."
Ming Xi listened quietly, feeling that after a moment of turmoil, his heart returned to calm at an unexpected speed, even more calm and indifferent than before. He turned his head and smiled, feeling a little emotional and self-deprecating.
When he first met that woman in Bei'an City, he thought she was an insignificant prop that could be used as a bargaining chip to use Xiao Qianye at any time. Later, he also planned to let her replace Xiao Yibai and become the new "hostage"
”.
If her parents hadn't taken the risk to defraud the royal family's treasure "Chen Yue", she would have died at birth. But after she grew up safely relying on this power, she was killed by that man because she kept Zhu Yan by her side on a whim.
Killing people to death, who would have thought that in the end, the blood of the two gods, which was the only thing that could save her, would be the only thing that could reverse her illness.
He never expected that there would be such a bizarre life connection between him and her. It seemed to be predestined. No wonder even his ancestors, the Sun and the Moon, would take the initiative to tell Xiao Qianye this secret, right?
Thinking of those past events now, Ming Xi couldn't help but sigh: "Did I use my own life to save your sweetheart?"
Xiao Qianye nodded. Even if Mingxi kept threatening him and using him, from a certain perspective, he would undoubtedly become an outstanding emperor and bring a new rebirth to Feiyuan, a closed continent. But he
There is no way to abandon the woman he loves, even if it means blocking the future of this Feiyuan, he will not hesitate for a second to use his only blood to save Yun Xiao.
"What else?" Seeing his sudden silence, Mingxi continued to ask casually. Xiao Qianye looked at his golden eyes and actually felt that he was exactly the same as the man in the underground palace, clean and pure, and again
There was no longer any haze and cruelty when he was plotting against him. He tightened his grip on Gu Chen, but the determination in his eyes became deeper and deeper. His body suddenly trembled and he blurted out, "He said you would turn the tide and finally get your long-cherished wish."
"If you try to turn the tide, you will finally get your long-cherished wish... If you try to turn the tide, you will finally get your long-cherished wish." Ming Xi chewed these words and recited them several times, and laughed silently in her heart - such comforting words really don't sound like Xiao Qianye's meeting
Could it be that what was said was really said by the founding emperor in the underground palace?
If we were talking about turning the tide, it was indeed something he had been working hard on, but when it came to finally getting his long-cherished wish... he seemed to be unable to understand what his long-cherished wish was.
Is it the peace of the country and the people? Peace of the mountains and rivers? Or maybe we just hope that the few amiable and trustworthy people around us can have a stable rest of our lives?
The former still has room for negotiation, but the latter...
He inexplicably glanced at Xiao Yibai, who was in a daze, and his face became gloomy and solemn. For some reason, he always had an extremely ominous premonition about the person next to him, like a white light that would disperse at any time.
"Impossible!" Finally, Gongsun Yan, who had been stunned for a long time, jumped up anxiously. Regardless of the etiquette he should have as a minister, he went up and held Ming Xi's hands with all his strength. His eyes were red.
He was about to cry, "I asked Qiao Yu and he said that your body has been weak for a long time only due to the influence of the late Queen's special constitution. As long as you take more care, you can return to normal soon! You don't want to
It’s all nonsense to believe this nonsense, so don’t believe it!”
Ming Xi was a little surprised by the reaction of this noble son. Gongsun Yan was originally from Dongming, and he originally believed deeply in astrology. How could he completely ignore his ancestors' beliefs and force himself to say such words?
Gongsun Yan didn't notice his expression at all. Instead, he rubbed his hands and paced back and forth anxiously. Countless thoughts surged through his mind in an instant, and suddenly he showed an expression as if he had suddenly realized something. As he spoke, he hurried out and muttered in a low voice.
He said: "Don't worry, how can the emperor's blood be properly cut off? You are less than thirty years old, how long can it take to choose a few concubines! Just wait, I will do it right away, you
Don't worry, just wait!"
"Come back." Mingxi frowned to stop him. Gongsun Yan couldn't hear him. He wanted to jump directly from Wangyue Tower. Mingxi watched his back disappear like a light, sighed helplessly and cursed.
Said, "This stupid thing is really stupid! The disaster of the four realms has not been resolved yet, and disaster relief and emergency relief must continue to be supplied. At this time, he wants to choose a concubine for me. He really is not afraid of me being criticized by others and receiving a few more words."
Scold! Ah Jing, follow quickly and don’t let him do stupid things. If necessary, you can knock him out and lock him up."
The ghost nodded and dispersed, while Xiao Yibai on the other side dragged his chin and thought carefully about Gongsun Yan's words, and replied with some disappointment: "It's not impossible what he said. You are already at this age, so you can choose a concubine."
It's a matter of course..."
Ming Xi coughed lightly, stood up and wiped away the star map on the sand table with his hand. His eyes were calm and gentle, and he replied with a faint smile: "Forget it, I know that my life will be over soon, but I still choose a concubine and establish a queen at this time.
Doesn’t that mean that this girl will have to be a widow for me for the rest of her life?"
"Mingxi." Xiao Yibai hesitated to speak, but was interrupted by his wave. He turned the jade ring on his hand hard, forced one soul into it, and then took the initiative to cut off the perception of the soul separation method, alone.
He leaned back in his chair and meditated for a long time.
