Li Shengyi stood in the courtyard and looked to the north, and saw a thick layer of cloudy clouds accumulated in the distant sky, which was caused by the fire from the volcano.
After a while, he returned his gaze to the courtyard again.
He has two residences in Gaochang City, one is a mansion for official affairs, and it was the former palace of the monarch. The other is the current three-entry courtyard, which is located in a large residential area in the south of the city. When he comes and goes, he never deliberately hides his whereabouts, nor does he disturb the residents, and the residents here gradually regard him as an ordinary resident with a special status, and he is no different from ordinary neighbors except that he does not communicate.
The yard where he lives has shallow bamboo pools, pebble paths and fluffy grass, which is beautiful and quiet. When something is difficult to decide and disturbs his mind, he likes to take a nap here to clear his mind, but something seems to have happened in this yard today The change made him unable to calm down.
He listened to the low and melodious sound of the flute coming from outside the wall, maybe it was the female relatives of a family next door practicing playing. After a while, the sound of the flute stopped, and the woman's laughter was heard again, like a small silver bell shaking gently in the breeze.
These voices used to make him calm down and let him know that under his rule, so many people live and work in peace and contentment. But today it sounded useless, and it made him even more irritable.
He took a deep breath, waved his right hand slightly, and let a bead slip from his sleeve into his palm. When holding the bead, he suddenly knew why.
Just in his heart, there was always a voice reminding him that these things in front of him were not his, but he was entrusted by someone else. The power and love he has are like a castle built on quicksand, which is in danger of collapsing at any time. In the past, he had imagined that one day he could compact the quicksand, but after hearing the news from the north bank of the Qianjiang River, even that fantasy disappeared.
? This courtyard, the beautiful scenery and the breeze, the sound of silk and bamboo and laughter in the courtyard will belong to another person one day.
He clenched the beads and spread his palms.
The beads are milky white, translucent, with vein-like red blood in them, exuding a slight fragrance. He remembered what Tao Chunxi told him when he presented the bead, what Li Bochen said - "This thing is made of Beichen's flesh and blood before he became a Taoist. If you want to be a successor of Beichen, you must eat this thing."
Now he knows that this statement is false. This is not the flesh and blood of Beichen, but even, possibly, poison. But out of a strange psychology, after several hesitations these days, he didn't destroy or throw it away. He realized that there is still hope in his heart, just like what he said to Abor just now, even if it is a secret spirit even if it is a secret spirit
All the sounds around her suddenly disappeared - Li Shengyi only realized this after counting breaths.
There was a warning sign in his heart, but he was immediately suppressed by a powerful and gentle force. Power comes from the sky, from the ground, from all directions, and seems to be everywhere. Along with power comes a "feel".
This is not only like his own feeling, but also like the feeling of this world - wave after wave, slowly stirring his thoughts. This made him feel that his heart began to tremble slightly, as if he was moved for no reason.
Moments later, the power and feeling are gone. He heard the girl's laughter again and felt the gentle breeze in the courtyard.
Li Shengyi's body was stretched straighter than a gun. After a short moment of bewilderment and bewilderment, two emotions of ecstasy and panic arose in his heart¡ªit is impossible for a practitioner who is about to reach the spiritual state to have such hallucinations, no doubt , everything I perceived just now came from a stronger and older existence
From a secret spirit!
Is it because of this bead? !
As soon as his gaze fell on it, a strong desire immediately arose in his heart¡ªto eat it and make it a part of his body!
At this moment, Li Shengyi knew that only a small part of this desire came from his own mind, and more of it was caused by the powerful force just now. He can even separate part of his thoughts to suspect that everything he felt just now and his current thoughts are all caused by this bead, and it is Li Bochen who is playing tricks. He dedicated this thing to himself through Tao Chunxi for this moment. Maybe it's not a poison, but it's connected with an evil secret spirit, so I call myself the master of the secret spirit forever lose the possibility of inheriting the orthodoxy!
He was startled suddenly, raised his hand and threw the beads out.
As soon as the beads are out of hand, all desires disappear instantly. Li Shengyi held onto the pillar of the porch, took a step back, and gasped heavily while watching the beads fall into the thin grass. After a while, he snorted coldly, turned and walked into the house.
But after taking two steps, he stopped, and suddenly rushed to the yard, picked up the bead and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed quickly, landed on his hands and feet, guarding his surroundings like a vigilant beast, with a lot of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth. ?After taking the last breath, Li Shengyi passed out.
Then he began to dream¡ªin fact, he didn't know if it was a dream.
His body lost consciousness, but what he did just now was vivid in his mind, and shame and fear arose in his heart. He realized that he was lying on the grass, and there was a wall of loyal guards outside the courtyard, but he couldn't make a sound.
The next moment he was seized by a huge emotion. There was no image or voice, but he felt an inexplicable sense of reverence in his heart, as if the greatest and noblest thing in the world occupied his body. Li Shengyi almost completely lost his sense of autonomy. He couldn't help but think of the prayers he had written down to communicate with the ghosts and gods, so he couldn't help but read it in his dream.
The sky is clear and high, with few clouds.
But gradually, Li Shengyi felt as if he saw something in this background¡ªan ancient and mysterious force opened a door that was invisible to the mountains above the sky, and the prayers in his mouth were carried by the wind. Something appeared.
Other words began to flow from his mouth, without him noticing it. His sight is focused on the sky, and his consciousness is concentrated in his body. He gradually felt his body, gradually heard voices, and gradually realized that the shaking figure in front of him was the guard who rushed in, trying to lift him up from the ground.
Now, he heard the voice in his own mouth¡ª¡ª
The lord of Beichen, the spirit of the great underworld, flies nine stars, and pays homage to the true spirit.
The master of Beichen, the essence of Kaiyang, Xuanying Yukong, Tianzhu Weiling.
The Lord of the North Star, the essence of the vault, the birth and death of all things, the spirit of the myriad energy.
Li Shengyi regained her strength.
He stood up, gently pushed away the guards' hands, smiled in their terrified and doubtful eyes, and whispered: "The emperor has manifested himself."
After a moment of silence, he slowly raised his head again: "I am the orthodox Beichen." (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
