I, Guhuo Bird, am not an umbrella demon, please don’t disturb me

He was almost telling Bai Qingyu that in a few years at most, the throne would have to be re-elected. Xiaoya was still young, so how to make arrangements.

Choosing a new Human Emperor cannot be decided in a day or two. Ever since the Human Emperor's strange disease was discovered, fighting has begun, mainly among the princes and princesses.

After all, these brothers and sisters of Bai Xiaoya have the advantage of age and have very deep roots. If it weren't for Xu Yuanqing's purge, the relationship in the capital would be in chaos to an extent that is unimaginable.

Even after being swept away, these people still have a lot of influence left behind.

For more than half a year, Xu Yuanqing was also very annoyed. Those princes and princesses did everything they could to get his support. Two of the princes even wanted to use their bodies to seduce him, saying that as long as they supported her, then she would Anything can be done.

Knowing that Xu Yuanqing is a person with principles and bottom line, and knowing that Xu Yuanqing has a wife and children, he still did this. Naturally, the two were blocked by Xu Yuanqing on the spot and never interacted again.

The reason for this is Xiaolan, and he can only do this in front of his wife.

"Ten years is too short."

Bai Qingyu frowned.

The little girl now is only ten years old, and she will not be twenty until ten years later. Can such a young girl be a good emperor?

At this moment, she wished that the Human Emperor would live for ten more years instead of dying in ten years. It would be just right to die in 20 years.

"You and I can't decide this matter. Do you have any ideas?"

"That's all you've said, do you still need to ask me?"

"I understand what your Majesty means. Anyway, I only have this ability in the court. I wish your Majesty didn't dislike me."

Xu Yuanqing shrugged. He knew very well what he was doing now. He was an important member of the imperial court. Now that the Emperor was seriously ill and did not think about the affairs of the government and the public, he brought foreigners to discuss the future succession of the throne. If this matter came to the ears of the Emperor, No matter how much credit he has given, Xu Yuanqing cannot escape punishment.

The death penalty is not a crime, and it is inevitable that he will be removed from his official position.

But there is nothing we can do. The Human Emperor's body is getting worse day by day. Ten years is not long or short, so it is normal to start preparations now. Even he, the national master who is less than ten thousand people under one person, has to choose Individuals took sides.

He has always rejected other princes and princesses because the choice he made was right in front of him.

He believed in Bai Qingyu, who was the destined child many years ago, and he was basically certain in his heart that it was not this little girl named Bai Xiaoya.

The son of destiny is chosen by God, so even if Bai Qingyu is not here, he will choose to stand by Bai Xiaoya. Once he succeeds, after she takes the position of Human Emperor, won't Xu Yuanqing's wish to retire early be realized soon? Has it been achieved?

Bai Qingyu didn't even expect that Xu Yuanqing worked so hard just to retire early.

"As a demon clan, I cannot participate in court matters, but I can say that you will not regret your choice today."

Bai Qingyu's voice was calm. She said that she would do her best to help Xiaoya. In fact, there were not many places where she could help her. The one who could really help Xiaoya was Xu Yuanqing. After all, in the selection of the position of Human Emperor, strength has an impact. Not much, unless it is strong enough to suppress Tianyang Palace and withstand the backlash from God.

"I believe in your Majesty. Your Majesty's vision must be better than that of all ordinary people like me. Besides, this is God's will, and I will follow God's will."

"It goes without saying that God's will is not God's will. Not everything depends on God's will. It mainly depends on man." Bai Qingyu said directly, "Just tell me what you want. After it is done, I will help you realize your wish. "

Xu Yuanqing took such a big risk to help, so naturally he couldn't not give others any benefits.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "I'm just kidding, with my current status, I can get anything, unless it's a treasure used by the gods, but I can't use anything that the gods can use."

"It's just that I really have a wish for my queen to help me."

"Tell me."

"It's like this. Your Majesty has also seen it now. I, Xu Yuanqing, am also a man with a family. I am no longer alone like before. So my wish is very simple. I just want to spend more time with my family, especially those in the capital. After this is over, wait until I retire to the mountains and forests."

Xu Yuanqing's smiling expression had written everything he was thinking on his face. After hearing his words, Bai Qingyu was a little surprised. The Xu Yuanqing she knew before was not like this. There was something indescribable. He has a Taoist charm and does not attach much importance to things like cultivating immortals.

Sure enough, he changed his mind because he had a family.

"You want to practice, of course you can, but at that time, I think you are too old. In addition, you have a special status and special skills. God will [-]% not let you do this."

Xu Yuanqing is not a monk, but his methods are no less than those of a monk.

Xu Yuanqing studied celestial phenomena, gossip, and deduced heavenly secrets. He was much better than most monks in this regard. Some of the things he could do were not even possible by monks. As a mortal, he could It's already terrifying to reach this point and he is a great spiritual master. How could God allow such a person to practice?

She would definitely be struck by lightning like Xiaoya when she was practicing, and Xiaoya had her own help to bear the punishment, but Xu Yuanqing couldn't do it. When the lightning struck, no matter how good he was at calculating, he would not be able to escape death. .

"Yes, otherwise it is my wish. No, this is not a wish. It should be called wishful thinking. That's why I asked my empress to help me."

The wife is a fox demon, and the child also has fox demon blood. In other words, the wife and daughter are not mortals. They will not have the birth, old age, illness and death of mortals, at least not within a hundred years. If they continue to practice and practice, living for two or three hundred years is not a problem.

As for him, even if he lives for 200 years, even after 20 years, he will still be an old man.

He can't be old, but his beloved wife is still as beautiful as a flower. In the end, he will die of old age, so Xiaolan will become a widow.

Of course, this is not what Xu Yuanqing is thinking about. On top of these thoughts, he is also thinking that when he was young, he was either working for his master or helping the court. He indirectly saved many people in the world. If he were a monk, his merits would be directly drown him.

So is it wrong for him to enjoy himself after retirement?

That's right, it's what he deserves anyway. He can't finish his work. People are going to die of old age, so what's the point of living a lifetime.

It's okay not to have a wife and children. There is nothing in this world worth remembering, but who allowed him to have a wife and children.

"That's all you have said. With your ability, you don't know how difficult it is for you to cultivate immortality. In other words, this is not a trivial matter. However, I agreed. When you retire and retreat into the mountains, I will help you. So that you can also practice to extend your life, and then we will be settled."

Xu Yuanqing is a very clever guy. If he hadn't been restricted, cultivation would not be difficult for him. He could reach the golden elixir with just a handful of bones.

Why do you have to find her? Ninety-eight percent of the time, he saw Xiaoya's cultivation, so he came up with this idea.

Xiaoya's situation is worse than his. Xiaoya can practice, so he must be fine too.

But the only person who can help him is Bai Qingyu.

"Hehehe, okay, it's settled. With these words from your Majesty, I feel much more at ease. Don't worry, Your Majesty. To put it bluntly, I will do my best for my future life of retirement. I I don’t have much cultivation, but in this capital city, my words still carry some weight.”

Xu Yuanqing's smile became more friendly and kind. He was still worried about this matter, but he didn't know how to solve it, so he was invited directly to his door.

The Divine Phoenix Empress is really powerful, there seems to be nothing she can't accomplish.

I admire her very much in my heart, I just feel that she is much more powerful than those mother-in-laws who are highly cultivated but have to hesitate to do anything.

In the following time, most of them were talking about the internal affairs of the imperial court, mainly the power situation of the princes and princesses and the threat they posed.

The biggest difficulty in making Xiaoya become the Human Emperor lies in this place.

As long as she can kill all these competitors, even if she has never lived in the palace, even if she is raised by a demon, it is not a problem. Anyway, the bloodline is here, as long as she is a member of the royal family, those veterans will not pass it. How difficult it is.

When discussing with Xu Yuanqing, Xiaoya did not avoid Xiaoya during the whole process. Xiaoya was stunned when she heard it. She knew she was talking about herself, but for a moment she didn’t know what she was talking about. Ask Bai Qingyu, Bai Qingyu just smiled and told her , she will understand when she grows up.

The little guy listened in confusion, and finally stopped listening at all and concentrated on eating. Although the food on the table was not as good as what his mother cooked, it was not bad.

Bai Qingyu didn't care about her. She was still young now, so it would be okay to tell her in a few years.

"Mother, there has been some trouble in the capital recently."

"Trouble? Didn't you use your luck to drive away the monks? Is there anyone who dares to interfere?"

"It is indeed a trouble. I used luck to drive the monk away only for matters related to the court. However, I cannot control other things. The matter I mentioned has nothing to do with the court, so the monk intervened. , I can’t help it.”

"It has nothing to do with the court?"

"Yes." Xu Yuanqing nodded, looking at Xiaolan who was quietly raising her cubs. Xiaolan nodded, took out a broken piece of armor with some dirt from the storage ring, and placed it in front of Bai Qingyu. .

"It's this thing. I said this thing has nothing to do with the court, because it has something to do with the entire human race."

Bai Qingyu heard this and picked up the mud-stained armor fragment on the table. As soon as he took it in his hand, he felt something. His eyes couldn't help but condense, "Such a strong vitality. It's strange that such a strong vitality has no spirit." Force fluctuations..."

The moment Bai Qingyu took this piece of armor fragment into his hand, he felt something. It was an extremely strange feeling.

"Your Majesty, you must have felt it. This is something excavated from ancient ruins. It is the burial place of an ancient army. The owner of this armor is not a monk but a mortal. It is incredible that a mortal can have the power to rival a monk. .”

How to divide and define mortals and monks mainly depends on spiritual power and cultivation system.

Nowadays, all the monks are cultivating spiritual power, condensing golden elixirs and transforming into Yuanying, step by step. Apart from this, I have never heard of the second method that can achieve immortal power forever.

If you don’t have spiritual power and cultivation, then you are just a mortal.

For powerful monks, mortals are no different from ants, and monks must be higher than ants by some level.

As a result, everyone was dumbfounded by what was excavated from an ancient ruins.

"In ancient times, a group of mortal soldiers who did not cultivate spiritual power could have the power of the monks at the tip of the nose. The key is that the number is extremely terrifying."

"Someone has predicted that there will be more than 20 soldiers buried in this ruins who are not weaker than the Golden Core."

When these words came out, Bai Qingyu couldn't help but be shocked.

Not to mention the strength of 20 people, even 5 people are terrifying.

In the last battle on the sea, the number of golden elixirs was only a few thousand. With those strong men above the golden elixir, the average strength would definitely not be as strong as [-] golden elixirs.

Of course, Mahayana is another factor, and the strength and influence of Mahayana cannot be measured by golden elixirs.

"Is the news accurate?"

"It should be pretty accurate. It was said by Chen Gongchang of Tianyang Palace himself."

Bai Qingyu didn't speak, but held the armor in silence.

This discovery is so important, no wonder it has been so quiet recently.

What is really important is not only a completely different training system, but also the fact that so many soldiers can be buried together shows that this method is very simple and the threshold is very low. It is definitely much simpler than the current training system.

The threshold is not low, and if the training cost is too high, how can it be possible to cultivate such a terrifying army.

Once this method is reproduced, it can be used in ancient times and it can be used now. It does not require 20. Even if only [-] troops are in the hands of the Human Emperor, the Great Spirit Dynasty will completely change the current situation. It will no longer need to worry about monks and will no longer Being influenced and controlled by monks, let alone being a human emperor, he has to be submissive in front of monks.

"What's going on with this ruins now?"

"Surrounded by monks, our people cannot intervene at all. As far as I know, these monks have not found a way to break it. No one knows how this ruins appeared, but it is extremely strong. If it is broken open by force, it will only lead to The ruins were completely destroyed.”

Not even him, not even Tianyang Palace knew much about this ruins.

How did it appear, which year and dynasty it was from, what happened in the middle, why so many strong men were buried so completely, and besides the golden elixir soldiers on the outside, are there stronger beings inside the ruins?

To be honest, no matter how many golden elixirs there are, they are nothing in the eyes of Mahayana. If they can't defeat an army of 20 people, why won't they keep the distance?

In other words, no matter how much golden elixir they have, they will not be a threat to them. However, what if there are stronger soldiers inside, such as centurions, thousand-centurions or even generals within the Great Spirit Army.

Ordinary soldiers have this strength, how can the general be so weak no matter how weak he is?

If you can hold them back, as long as you enter the army's formation, Mahayana will kill you.

So much so that now the monks are mainly divided into two factions. One side advocates excavation of the ruins to find out the secrets, and the other side advocates the complete destruction of the ruins so that these ancient antiques will never see the light of day.

Both sides have their own reasons, and no one is convinced by the other.

"What do you think of this ruins?"

Bai Qingyu thought for a long time and raised his eyes to look at Xu Yuanqing.

She definitely didn't want to go to this ruins. Those guys wouldn't let her go, let's see what Xu Yuanqing said.

"This ruins must be related to future disasters. I don't even know about this, so I boldly make an inference here. There is no basis and I cannot be sure. It is just a guess."

"You said."

"I suspect that the appearance of this ruins at this time has something to do with the eldest lady."

Xu Yuanqing made a surprising statement and looked at Xiaoya who was still eating dessert.

This ruins is too advanced for him to see through. As he said, everything is guesswork and intuition.

His intuition told him that this ruins must be related to the great catastrophe, and since it was inseparable from mortals in the capital, the most likely candidate to open the ruins was the next Human Emperor.

The next human emperor has been blessed with destiny and is sitting in front of him.

Volume 48: Journey to the Demon Book: Chapter [-] Liu Changsheng’s Wedding

Nowadays, with the great catastrophe, anything may be part of the great tribulation. As long as it is an unusual thing, it is definitely right to think about the great tribulation.

After listening to Xu Yuanqing's words, Bai Qingyu was pondering a question.

If this relic is really related to Xiaoya, and only Xiaoya can open it, then what does this mean? It is to make Xiaoya a human emperor in the true sense, not only in name, but also in status. The Human Emperor still said that he hoped to use Xiaoya's hand to give each major sect a hard blow.

A few years ago, I felt that there were too many monks in the world, which put great pressure on the world. The essence of the great catastrophe was to clean up the monks and feed back the spiritual power left by the monks after their death to the common people in the world.

As a result, there will be more spiritual power in the world, which will inevitably lead to the rise of a new batch of monks. Maybe hundreds of years later, maybe more than 1000 years later, they will develop into what they are now, and then continue to be cleaned up, and so on, from ancient times to the present. That's right.

So her idea is very simple, what role will Bai Xiaoya's role as the Human Emperor play in this catastrophe.

"If I have the chance, I will go and see this ruins in person. I guess you human monks won't let me get close."

"My Lady, there is no need to worry about this. There must be a reason for the ruins to appear at this time. The monks will definitely not destroy them, because the powerful ones want to see the secrets of the ruins. It is better to wait for the opportunity to come. If there is a fate, even if you don't force it, The relics will also be delivered to your door automatically.”

Xu Yuanqing looked at the piece of armor in Bai Qingyu's hand, and his voice suddenly lowered, "There is something I want to tell you. Actually, I have always had an idea since I saw this ruins."

"tell me the story."
