Fighter of the Destiny

Su Li is gone, life is still going on, and the major event in the human world is still moving forward in an orderly manner.

In fact, speaking of it, it was precisely because Su Li left that the big event had the possibility of success and could continue.

On the seventeenth day after Xu Yourong arrived in Kyoto with the Saintess Peak family, representatives of various southern aristocratic families represented by the head of the Qiu Shan family also entered the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Changsheng Sect had been closed for three years, and many mountain sects were nominally affiliated with the sect. It sent effective representatives.

In the following period, more and more representatives of southern forces sat at the negotiating table.

The confluence of the North and the South is no longer just a term that exists in classics and imaginations, but is getting closer to reality faster and faster.

For the Southerners, the biggest problem they are facing now is that with the departure of Su Li and the Holy Girl, they now do not have a strong person in the sacred realm, whether at the negotiation table or in other places such as the wine table. There will always appear to be some lack of confidence.

Unexpectedly, neither the Zhou court nor the state religion took advantage of this change in power balance to put forward any unreasonable demands. On the contrary, they showed extremely rare magnanimity and open-mindedness and made efforts for the future interests of the southerners. issued a series of guarantee commitments.

Only those who are truly wise can see the confrontation behind or before this negotiation.

That was the confrontation between Su Li, Holy Queen Tianhai and the Pope.

With unimaginable wisdom and courage, he gave up his right to retaliate against those who were chasing and killing Nan on his way back, and left with the Saint, which directly caused the South to lose all confidence, thus making this negotiation never have the chance to fall into the same situation as before. Countless times in the quagmire.

Then the Holy Queen and the Pope will give him adequate rewards accordingly and give the South exceptionally favorable conditions.

Reflected in the details of the negotiations, these rewards or generous treatment are: after the merger of the North and the South, the South will retain as much independence as possible.

This kind of independence has exceeded the best imagination of the southern forces in advance.

There is no need to change counties or redefine prefectures and counties. Local officials can be elected by themselves. They do not need to be approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Kyoto. They only need to go to Beijing to be tested once every three years. Taxation is also extremely preferential, and the transfer of money from the treasury is greatly biased towards some relatively poor counties in the south.

In addition, the South also received many benefits, especially the Imperial Examination and the Imperial Examination. From now on, there is no need for Kyoto to allocate shares. Instead, like other states and counties, the quota can be determined based on the number of household registrations, and the quota can be determined based on the number of people registered in the South. His performance in recent years will be a huge advantage in the imperial examination.

Of course, it is impossible for the Southerners to just get benefits without any sacrifice. The negotiations are far from over. Some matters have been confirmed, that is, the military and external affairs will be unifiedly managed by Kyoto in the future. The biggest changes have occurred in the stretch of land in the north. In the thousands of miles of snowy frontier, in the past, the sects and families in the south would send strong men to join the northern military fortress to fight against the demon army, but they were all guest ministers and would not listen to the propaganda. But now these strong men will join directly. Coupled with changes in the army, logistics support and other aspects, I believe that the strength of the human army will be greatly improved in a short period of time, and this is the most important or even the only purpose of the North-South merger.

While the North-South merger negotiations are gradually becoming successful, the powerful men and armies of the human world have also increased their vigilance towards the north. Food and grass supplies from the south are continuously transported to eleven important border passes, and they are always ready to provide assistance to the demon cavalry heading south. A heavy blow to the head, because it is obvious that the demons cannot just watch the human world merge successfully, and they will definitely do something, especially the extremely insidious military advisor in black robe, who may have already begun to display his conspiracy.

The situation in the north is a little tense, and there is some tension on both sides of the negotiating table in Kyoto, but the tension is different. Xu Yourong plays a very important role in the confluence of the north and the south. It can even be said that she is the most important representative figure on the spiritual level, because she is a Zhou native and at the same time a southern saint. Naturally, her schedule became busy, constantly summoning representatives of various forces in the south, and communicating with the Zhou Dynasty court. Fortunately, she lived in the palace, so it was very convenient to meet the Holy Queen.

Chen Changsheng had not seen her for more than ten days and was a little worried about her, but knowing that she was doing very important things, of course he would not have any complaints. As a person who cherishes time the most, he did not waste his days missing and waiting. Going up, taking advantage of the deep winter chill, I kept sharpening my spirit, comprehending the five stone beads, memorizing the Two Broken Sword Techniques silently, occasionally giving lessons to the new students of the National Education College, and most of the time I was still studying non-stop. , and of course did not forget some other important things.

On an ordinary snowy winter day, he purchased a large amount of food and gadgets from the street market. Holding a yellow paper umbrella, he avoided the countless eyes around the National Education Academy and walked to the palace wall under the eyes of the palace guards. Under the tree outside, and taking advantage of the strong wind and charming snow, I jumped into the well in Beixinqiao.

The most oil-absorbent burlap paper was spread on the floor for half the size of the house. Countless hot foods were neatly placed on it, with the same hot steam and different fragrances, including steamed deer tail, roasted goose and duck, There are also more than a dozen skewers of rice dumplings, but this time there is no steamed bear paw... Because of Xuanyuan Po, no one in the National Education Academy eats that now.

Chen Changsheng took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve with two fingers, wiped the oil and water on his hands carefully, looked up at Heilong and said: "Tang Tang turned Chenghu Tower into the canteen of the National Education College... I forgot I told you...but except for the blue lobster, I bought everything else from outside, because it tastes better."

In the middle of the food all over the floor, there is a hill made of blue lobsters.

Chen Changsheng kept smiling when he said these words. His smile was very clean, with a kind of joy coming from the heart.

He felt really satisfied to be able to get so many good things for Black Dragon to eat.

The mountain-like body of the black dragon fell slowly, and an indescribable coldness instantly suppressed the steam emitted by the food.

Chen Changsheng quickly drew his sword and struck, and a faint flaming sword intent shot through the air. The food immediately became hot and did not freeze into ice.

He used the Sky-Brighting Sword.

A few nights ago, he realized the sword intention in that letter for a long time, and then he saw the battle between Su Li's Sky Sword and the Holy Queen's Wufeng Hairpin, which gained a lot.

Although his swordsmanship is not yet at its peak, in his current state, it can be said to be perfect and unparalleled.

It's just that... it feels a little inappropriate to use the Sky-Searing Sword, which is extremely difficult to fully understand, to heat food.

Heilong didn't think so, she felt it was very appropriate.

She was very satisfied with the food on the floor and the hill-like blue lobster prepared by Chen Changsheng. She was even more satisfied with Chen Changsheng's method of using the Sky Sword to heat the food, because this showed that in his eyes, she was allowed to eat it. Fresh, hot and good food is much more important than maintaining the so-called dignity of kendo.

She decided to forgive him for not coming here to see her for almost a month.

A majestic and distant, simple yet extremely complex dragon roar sounded in the dark and cold underground.

Chen Changsheng was slightly stunned, wondering why the black dragon was not in a hurry to eat, but wanted to take a dragon language course first. The next moment, he suddenly remembered that he had sent food to Heilong so many times, but he didn't seem to see her eating in front of him...

"ah……"

"Well……"

"Alas……"

"Woo..."

"Xu..."

From time to time, the deep and majestic roar of the black dragon could be heard underground, as well as the clumsy but earnest voice of Chen Changsheng learning the language.

Chen Changsheng studied with great concentration, until his voice became hoarse, his consciousness was empty, and his body was extremely weak. However, he did not forget that every once in a while, he would slash the Heavenly Sword to his side to help those roasted goose and roasted ducks in the most suitable place. It retains its original aroma under heat.

The black dragon's whiskers would occasionally float up, sprinkling patches of snow and frost on the hill made of blue lobsters. The scene was very beautiful.

I don't know how long it took, but today's dragon language class finally ended. The black dragon breathed softly into his face, and a streak of frost suddenly appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand to rub the frost away, only to see that I felt cold and refreshed, and all the fatigue disappeared immediately.

"I'll go over there and have a look."

Chen Changsheng did not forget the most important thing. He glanced back and saw the two iron chains. The other end of the chain was on the stone wall, held in the hands of the two legendary god generals. Compared with the black dragon's mountain-like body, these two iron chains are like two hairs, but they can lock the black dragon here tightly.

I believe that in the past hundreds of years, Black Dragon has tried countless methods to break these two iron chains, but without success.

In the more than half a year since he returned to Kyoto from Zhouyuan, Chen Changsheng has tried many methods, but they have all failed.

The formations Wang Zhice laid out on the stone wall were so complex and intricate that they looked like a sea of ​​stars.

The two divine generals Yu Gong and Qin Zhong attached a ray of spiritual consciousness to the stone wall. It was so powerful and violent that it resembled thunder and lightning.

It has been nearly a thousand years since the last time wildflowers bloomed, but those legends are still legends. Even if they have turned into a heroic soul, they are not something that he can fight against now, or even a field that he can touch now - that The name of the realm is sacred.

Chen Changsheng sat at the bottom of the stone wall, quietly reading the book in his hand under the gaze of these legends.

The book he was reading at this time was a bit old, and it was called "A Study of Sheyang Zhenzhen Formation Map".

No one knows the specific inheritance of Wang Zhice. The ordinary teacher in the Tiandao Academy suddenly became famous in Kyoto and shocked the mainland in his middle age. No one knows who his teacher is. He rummaged through the library of the National Education Academy. Hundreds of volumes of books were used to find an ordinary Taoist priest named Wu in Wang Zhice's hometown.

Wang Zhice’s hometown is Sheyang.

The Taoist priest surnamed Wu is Sheyang Zhenren.
