Chapter 556 Three Wishes
"Time is too long. I have forgotten a lot of things when I was a child. I only remember that my father and mother were hunters. They found us surviving children from the slaughtered human villages, and brought us back to the mountains and forests, and raised us."
"My mother has no fertility. Perhaps this is why she likes children and is willing to raise us in that world. She and her father are both very powerful hunters. Although there is no clothing or salt in the forest, the four of us have grown up strongly."
"At that time, I had neither my surname nor my name."
Speaking of this, Cha Shiyin suddenly showed a smile, and the light on his body fluctuated: "I'll ask you a question - the fourth brother is called A Si, my name is A San, and the second brother is called A Er, what's the eldest brother's name?"
Ming Shuiyun replied carefully: "Ayi? Ada?"
"No, his name is Minghuiyao." Cha Shiyin showed a reminiscent gaze: "He is a truly born person. He said that the sun and the moon are bright, so he took Ming as his surname; he said that the sun and the moon are bright, so he took Huiyao as his name. He had many ideas in his mind, and he was always leading us. Even if the strong and strong second brother glared at him, the second brother would be obedient. It is precisely because of the existence of the eldest brother, that his parents would go out to hunt and let the eldest brother take care of us."
Leyu's heart moved and he realized something vaguely. Cha Shiyin looked at him: "This is why I cannot control the Holy Sword Huiyao - Holy Sword Huiyao Yongshi is connected to my elder brother's bloodline. I, who has no blood relationship with my elder brother, can only borrow the power of the Holy Sword at most, and cannot control the authority of the Holy Sword at all."
"The second question is, how was the Sage Soldier created?" Leyu asked: "There are conflicts in historical records. Some say it was made by Emperor Gaozu, and some say it was obtained by Emperor Gaozu accidentally. In "The Chronicles of Emperor Gaozu", it is said that the Four Sage Soldiers were obtained by the four brothers from the gods!"
"You can see it." Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "I wrote the "Chronicle of Emperor Gaozu."
"Although it was not obtained from the gods, it was actually almost the same. But that was a story that was meaningless to the present. The twenty-four divine weapons are the ultimate sound in the world. Do you really want to listen?"
Le Yu held Ming Shuiyun's hand and raised it up. He saw a clear bridge of flowing light set up between Ming Shuiyun and Cha Shiyin, as if there was an invisible gift from Cha Shiyin to Ming Shuiyun.
“You should have a lot of storytelling time before the ceremony ends.”
"This story starts with the eldest brother bringing a meteorite to his home." Cha Shiyin said: "Although it is a meteorite, it looks like countless black circles stacked. The unique craftsmanship and beauty can be reproduced even in this era."
"As long as the eldest brother sleeps with the meteorite, he will be able to take out a lot of delicious food to share with us the next day. Fried chicken, grilled wings, and baked pot... My favorite is a dessert called pudding. My second brother likes to eat very oily fried foods, and my fourth brother likes those sweet drinks..."
"And the big brother's strength is getting stronger and stronger. He took us down the mountain and easily wiped out a barbarian army and saved a human village."
"In the days of following my elder brother, we became curious about the meteorite while enjoying the benefits of our elder brother."
Leyu asked, "Then you also came into contact with that meteorite?"
"No, my elder brother told us not to touch meteorites. Even if we were itchy, we would not dare to violate our elder brother's orders." Cha Shiyin shook his head: "Until we came back from outside, we saw that there was only one father left in the house."
"It seems that the elder brother killed the barbarians' troops and attracted the attention of the barbarians. A barbarian team entered the forest and met their father and mother who were hunting... They chose to run separately, but their mother deliberately made a sound to lure the barbarians away... Only the father survived and even broke his hand."
"That day, we had an argument with our elder brother for the first time. The second brother believed that if the elder brother gave everyone strength, the mother would not die and the father would not break his hands. The elder brother did not refute and cured his father's broken arm, but he still ordered no one to contact the meteorite."
"But the three of us brothers made up our minds and stole the meteorites at night, trying to gain the power comparable to our elder brother."
"What happened later is similar to what is recorded in the "Chronicle of Emperor Gaozu."
Leyu recalled: "You make a wish for the meteorite, and then you can get the magic weapon?"
"I can't describe exactly what happened that night until now..." Cha Shiyin sighed: "That meteorite seems to be a...rechargeable tool. It tells us that it is now inadequate in energy, so there is only a game called "Sacrifice". If it is sufficient in energy, it can provide more games..."
"Under its guidance, we three brothers entered the "Sacrifice". The "Sacrifice" will give us corresponding trials based on the treasures we want, and we can obtain the treasures after we complete the trials."
"It also tells us that once we hold the treasure of the "Sacrifice", we must pay the corresponding price, so we advise not to hold it ourselves... But if we don't take the treasure, why should we accept the trial?"
"The second brother wanted to resurrect his mother, and he entered a trial called "Eat and swallow a hundred bones"; the fourth brother wanted to escape the struggles in the world, and he entered a trial called "Good and Evil Killing each other"; and I wanted to survive, and entered a trial called "Every ghost will kill"..."
"Later, we all came out alive and took the treasure we wanted."
Speaking of this, Cha Shiyin suddenly stopped. Ming Shuiyun quietly bit Le Yu's ears: "Does he not be able to make up anymore? It sounds so fake."
"Shuiyun Palace, have you ever heard a saying: It is true because it sounds too fake." Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "I thought about it and don't say the contents of the trial. It's not only meaningless, but even I feel disgusted when I say it."
"What happened later?" Leyu asked, "Your brother should be very angry when he discovered your private actions, right?"
"Yes, so he smashed the meteorite directly."
Cha Shiyin said: "He originally wanted to bear all the costs by himself, but he still let us get deeply involved... Of course, at that time we did not understand the goodwill of our elder brother, but felt that he was too domineering and too vicious."
"Those fragments were collected, and the Eight Phantom Divine Soldiers were forged by Taizong. The remaining scraps were taken away by Liezong and forged into the Twelve Extreme Soldiers... This is the origin of the twenty-four Divine Soldiers."
"There may be a lot of fragments and trivial things in this world, but they are no longer enough to be the main material of the magic weapon."
"This is the story of the divine weapon." Cha Shiyin looked at Leyu: "Do you believe it?"
Leyu was silent for a moment, without answering whether to believe it or not: "The third question--"
"Why don't you ascend the throne and become an immortal emperor, and let the world enjoy peace forever?"
"Why do you think I have never been an emperor?" Cha Shiyin smiled: "And what does the immortal emperor have to do with peace in the world?"
"You have enough ability and wisdom, and your lifespan can put you at the peak of power, you-"
"Then I can become a wise ruler who will keep the world peaceful and prosperous forever?" Cha Shiyin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Qin Leyin, I thought you were quite smart, but I didn't expect you to have such a foolish view of heroic history... Do you know who in history, except Emperor Gaozu, has been in power for the longest time?"
Leyu had never read much. He looked at Mingshuiyun, and Mingshuiyun blurted out: "Lie Zong!"
Cha Shiyin said: "Shuiyun Palace, then do you still remember the historical evaluation of Liezong?"
"Heroes are great, but they are stupid when they are old." Ming Shuiyun recounted the knowledge learned in the imperial court: "In the later period of Liezong, the party struggles were fierce, the land annexation of aristocratic clans was serious, and the court was in chaos. The royal family was in chaos because of the problem of no heirs. Until Liezong abdicated to the Wenzong and cleansed the court and the country, there was a 'Liewen governance'."
Leyu immediately understood and asked, "Why did the heroic Lie Zong become foolish later?"
"Because he is a man, not a political machine, nor a god." Cha Shiyin sighed: "He cannot detect the deceivers of trust; he cannot bear to punish the ministers who love make mistakes; he is boring to the busy government affairs, so he reads less and less memorials; the sound of silk and bamboo in the imperial court is so pleasant that he cannot hear the sufferings of the people outside."
"Many people think that if a benevolent monarch and famous ministers can stay in the court forever, the world will be peaceful forever, but this is a wrong idea. Many times, the rise and fall of the world is a historical law, and heroes are just promoters, not masters; on the contrary, healthy regime alternation can effectively alleviate social conflicts and promote class mobility."
"The so-called 'one emperor and one minister' is not only an alternation of political teams, but also an inevitability of class mobility."
Cha Shiyin looked at Leyu: "Your problems are actually all a problem--you think I have the ability to control the rise and fall of the world, and think I am unwilling to do it, and I sit back and watch the world decay to this point. But in fact, I have made many attempts, but reality tells me that I am just an immortal... mediocre person."
At this moment, Ming Shuiyun's body was full of light, and every inch of her skin seemed to be covered with flowing light. She seemed to have great power in her every move, and even her eyes could make Leyu feel hot. On the contrary, Cha Shiyin's body was completely dissipated. Although she was young in her twenties, she exuded the twilight air of the twilight years, as if she was about to wither and decay in the next second.
"The fourth question." Leyu asked: "What is the way to cancel the holy sword hanging...?"
"My life."
"But you are immortal, and what does your life have to do with the Holy Sword?"
"I am immortal, but it does not mean that I cannot lose my life." Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "As for why my life can cancel the holy sword hanging... How do you think the holy sword Huiyao drives the skylight of thousands of miles? Using the knowledge you have mastered, the principle of the holy sword is actually very simple."
Leyu thought for a moment: "The prerequisite for controlling light is sufficient mental power...so the holy sword essentially allows the sword master to obtain vast spiritual power that is enough to steal the sky and exchange for the sun."
"Correct." Cha Shiyin nodded: "But mental power will not be born from vain, not to mention that it is a million times more mental power than oneself... Where does this mental power come from? I'll give you a hint, the first charter."
The first charter, the brilliance of the charter shines on all citizens. All Huiyao people must implant Yaoshi chips since childhood to activate their mental power...
Leyu suddenly realized: "People!"
"The essence of the Holy Sword Huiyao is actually just a tool to receive mental power." Cha Shiyin said: "Why can the Holy Sword Huiyao control the sky light of thousands of miles? Because the person who swung the sword was not only the emperor, but the millions of people living on Huiyao's land!"
"After you know this, you will understand the strange rules of the Holy Sword Huiyao. Why does the emperor have a sacred sword hanging in the air without a heir? Because the essence of the Holy Sword inheritance is not only bloodline, but also the recognition of the people!"
"The throne is normal. Even if the emperor dies, the people will know who the next generation of emperors will be connected to the new emperor through the Holy Sword Huiyao; however, the emperor has no heirs and the people will not know who the next emperor is. When they do not know the emperor, they will disconnect from the Holy Sword Huiyao, which will cause the Holy Sword to hang in the air!"
"Why does the Holy Sword need to be hung in the air for twenty years before it can be used again? Twenty years are actually just an imaginary number. In essence, when most people desire the Holy Sword Huiyao to suppress the world, the Holy Sword Huiyao can bring out their power. Once they have experienced more than ten years of troubled times, the people will naturally desire the Holy Sword Huiyao's rescue."
"So," Cha Shiyin asked, "Can you guess now why my life can be cancelled by the Holy Sword hanging in the air?"
"Because you are Huiyaolie Sect."
Leyu completely understood: "In addition to flowing to the emperor, the people's spiritual power will also flow to the wise kings who have been passed down for thousands of years, such as Emperor Gaozu and Liezong. Although I don't know how you did it, you seem to want to deceive the Holy Sword Huiyao and let it see the people's spiritual power flowing to you as the spiritual power flowing to Mingshuiyun!"
Cha Shiyin smiled and said, "Apart from the stupid heroic historical view, you are still quite smart in other places."
"Then what price do you have to pay?"
"I've said it, my life."
"You won't die."
"But I will destroy both body and spirit." Cha Shiyin shrugged: "The price of deceiving the Holy Sword Huiyao is very heavy."
Le Yu was slightly stunned: "Then how do you survive?"
Cha Shiyin asked back, "Where do you think my immortal energy comes from?"
There is no second answer to this question, the musical language points to the sun in the east: "Light."
"After my body and spirit are destroyed, maybe for more than ten years, maybe for decades, maybe in Huiyao, or maybe in the Western Continent, light will re-weave my body."
"The God of Swords will never allow the holder to escape from sacrifice through death. If the God of Swords will not let you die, you will definitely not die."
Cha Shiyin smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "I hope I can see you again when I come back."
Leyu was no longer confused and said calmly: "There will be a chance."
Cha Shiyin's body was already clear and destroyed at this time, as if it was about to be blown away by the wind in the next second. However, his eyes were glowing at Leyu at this moment, and he stared at Leyu tightly: "Then, Qin Leyin, before I fell asleep, you should satisfy my curiosity - what are you doing here?"
Leyu looked at Mingshuiyun, and Mingshuiyun smiled, but what she said was the word "Tien Leyin, kneel down for me!"
Bang! With the blessing of the Holy Sword Huiyao, Ming Shuiyun's connection with Leyu's monarch and ministers was strengthened to a new level. Before Leyu reacted, his body had already carried out Ming Shuiyun's orders.
"I wanted to try this a long time ago." Ming Shuiyun sniffed and laughed: "You can be considered my scabbard if you are so obedient."
Leyu raised his head and wanted to say something, but saw Ming Shuiyun open his arms and hugging his neck. At this moment, it seemed that from morning to night, the overwhelming darkness swept across the world.
"Don't be angry, forgive me."
After saying that, Ming Shuiyun let go of the music and reached out to the sky. A holy sword composed of light quickly condensed in her palm. She looked to the south and held up the holy sword high, as if she represented the god of heaven and punished the rebels in the world!
At this time, the voice of the Red Hairy White Snow Lord came from behind her: "Shuiyun, do you remember when I made three wishes with you when I made a contract with you?"
Ming Shuiyun was slightly stunned and smiled and said, "Of course, remember that your first wish is: "From now on, you will be my sword master and my feeder." He said that you would suck my blood regularly, but except that night, you have never sucked it a second time."
"Now, I want to make a second wish." Leyu said: "Let me touch the Holy Sword Radiance."
Ming Shuiyun bit his lip gently, with a hint of crying in his voice: "What a wish? Even if you don't make a wish, I will let you touch it... Look, touch it. But the sword holder has already told me your thoughts. The relics of the saint cannot be copied from the hiding sword. You have already... worked very hard. Oh, don't do this, I will die soon. We still have a lot of time. We can work together in the future to realize our ideals..."
Leyu, who was kneeling on one knee, looked at the Holy Sword Huiyao that reached in front of him. He stretched out his fingers and gently touched the fitness made of light, with a determined expression on his face.
"Now, I want to make a third wish."
He looked up at Ming Shuiyun and pressed the sword body of the Holy Sword Huiyao with his five fingers.
"The third wish is that the king wants his minister to die..."
"I have to die."
In Ming Shuiyun's shocked eyes, Leyu took the initiative to send himself to the Holy Sword Huiyao, and the sword edge penetrated his throat, bringing out blood dripping!
