In an instant, Song Yu felt that an invisible barrier suddenly appeared in the entire imperial study.
The sounds outside were instantly cut off.
Then, the official looked at Song Yu seriously: "I have a few questions, I hope you can answer them truthfully."
Song Yu nodded: "If you ask an official question, I will tell you everything I know."
He has been waiting for this day for a long time!
From the initial suspicion of the official family, to the later discovery that something was wrong, to the almost unreasonable favor given to him by the official family... there must be deep-seated reasons for all of this.
He had guessed the reasons, but many things were still shrouded in fog, making it difficult to see the truth.
But one thing he was almost certain of was that the official in front of him had no ill intentions toward him!
This is not only his personal experience and judgment, but also the super perception of the sword spirit. If there is really a problem, he would have been warned long ago.
"At what level is your true strength now...approximately?"
"I have never fought anyone who is too strong, but on the way from Hanjiang, I once understood that a sword should... be able to kill a seventh-level master!" Song Yu said.
The official was slightly startled, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Is it because he took the body-building pill?"
Song Yu nodded: "Yes, only when the true energy penetrates can you use that terrifyingly powerful sword. Otherwise, you may not even be able to break through the grandmaster's defense."
"So... very good!" Guan Jia murmured, and then looked at Song Yu, "The seal left by your grandfather back then is indeed no longer in your hands, right?"
"It's indeed gone." Song Yu said calmly. After all, it was on his arm, not in his hand.
"But you did get some benefits from it, such as natural divine power?" the official asked again.
Song Yu nodded: "You know everything?"
The official sighed: "Li Chaoen secretly sealed your blood back then because he didn't want you to be involved in this matter and live in peace for the rest of your life. Otherwise, why would he secretly support Huang Ping's martial arts school..."
Song Yu showed a bit of surprise. He had indeed doubted the former before.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how incompetent a young man who grew up in a martial arts school would be, he would not be so weak that he would be out of breath even after walking several miles to collect firewood.
When he was a child, his body had already been tampered with by Li Chaoen.
But he really didn't expect that Li Chaoen secretly supported Huang Ping's Yuntian Martial Arts School.
At first, I thought it was Huang Ping who was taking care of him privately due to his connections in the military. When the officials said this, they suddenly became enlightened.
Li Chaoen was indeed protecting him. Lao Li, who didn't believe in the method of cultivating immortals, didn't want him to have anything to do with the seal, so he secretly sealed his energy and blood, turning the young man into a sickly person.
He also knew that Huang Ping was righteous and grateful, and regarded him as his nephew, so he supported Yuntian Martial Arts School and made it one of the two major martial arts schools in Hanjiang City.
In this way, when he grows up, starts a family, and has Huang Ping taking care of him, his life will not be bad no matter what.
With their people watching in secret, there would be no danger.
As for the seal that has long been a "brand" in the eyes of everyone, whoever wants it can just take it!
There is absolutely no need to offend a rootless old eunuch like Lao Li to death just because he is an ordinary person.
The puzzle that was not complete before is now finally clear.
"But I didn't expect that you would end up getting involved after all." A wry smile appeared on the official's face, "And by some strange coincidence, because the Qi and blood were sealed, it perfectly covered up the fact that you benefited from the seal... Fortunately, Yes, you are not infected by a monster!"
Song Yu had a look of confusion on his face.
The official said: "It is said that there are nine seals in total. A total of five seals were brought out from the underground palace that year. One for Li Chaoen, one for Mr. Xiao Liang, one for Liu Ergou, one for Guo Tie, and the last one... It’s in your grandpa’s hands.”
Guo Tie?
Was the one who disappeared back then... suspected to be the Tiger Army behind the line between Tangmen and Lin Hui in Saibei?
Song Yu thought.
The official continued: "Actually, I also have one in my hand."
Song Yu was stunned.
The official said: "My seal has always been in the royal family. I don't know when I got it. It seems to have been there since the founding ancestor of the country. After the secret of the seal was exposed, I remembered that I had played with it when I was a child, and that I had played with it before. Father..."
The official was silent for a moment and said: "My father has given him to me since he was a child, saying that this thing is a treasure. In the royal family of all dynasties, there are people who have benefited from it, but there are also people who have gone crazy because of it and killed people everywhere... Please come Only those who practice the sect suppress it.”
"At that time, I regarded it as an ominous thing, until...Xiangong Xiao and Liu Ergou had accidents one after another. Li Chaoen also discovered some secrets inside, and told me that one of the nine seals was rumored to have any Cultivation of immortality!"
The official raised his head slightly and looked at the sky, sighing softly: "He didn't know that I was here at the time. He wanted to tell me that many people were involved in this matter, and even important officials in the court were controlled. The so-called immortal cultivation method, It’s just a scam.”
"At that time, I wanted nothing more than the Northern Expedition to rescue my father and brother. Everyone in the world said that I, Zhao Cheng, was timid and fearful. And because I didn't know what to do with my father and brother when they returned, I refused the Northern Expedition. They... all underestimated me!"
"Although I only have half of this country, I didn't take it from anyone. I took Li Chaoen and my second brother and led the soldiers to sacrifice their lives on the battlefield and snatched it back from Beiqi with their lives!"
"What if I bring my father and brother back? We are both from the Zhao country, but this Zhao country is not their Zhao country! Will I be afraid of this?"
Song Yu looked at the slightly excited officials and said to himself that this is not Zhao Gou, Zhao State... nor is it the Southern Song Dynasty.
The official in front of him, as can be seen from the fact that he rejected the suzerain's request to marry the eldest princess three times, is indeed a very strong man at heart!
"The reason why I failed in the Northern Expedition in the end is because... I suffered a big loss!" The official looked at Song Yu and said seriously: "A terrible loss."
Song Yu asked: "Have you... communicated the contents of the seal?"
The official took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "That's right, after Li Chaoen told me, I started to think about it. If I can get the immortal magic and have supreme cultivation, what's the point of destroying Northern Qi? I can destroy Xiliao as well. Kill them together and become a true unified monarch!"
"It's a pity that even if I am the king of a country, I don't have the luck. There is also a demon living in my seal. I was bewitched by him. At the time, I thought I was practicing immortal magic, but in fact it was... Magical power!"
The official smiled and looked at Song Yu with clear eyes: "Do you know why I only have so many children? Do you know why I don't get close to women? That's because... once I get along with a woman, the magic power will If it runs on its own, even if it is controlled by force, it will suck all the yin energy out of a woman!"
"But in order to show off to others and prove that I am not sick, I have to go to Cuifang Building to find Miss Shishi... In recent years, it has been difficult for her."
Song Yu took a breath of cold air, and then thought of the deep well connected to the bottom of the stone tower...the place where the Yin gathers.
"I don't want to harm anyone, let alone become the kind of devil that the world hates. If that happens, I won't dare to go to Jiuquan to see my ancestors one day after death. I will be sorry for the hundreds of millions of people of the Han family."
The official said softly: "So after knowing the truth, I refused to practice magic and ordered the seal... to be thrown far into the deep sea!"
Song Yu: "..." Don't keep it for me!
"I thought it would be fine. If I don't cultivate, what can anyone do to me?"
"What I didn't expect is that Xiang Chu has also practiced similar magic skills. Not only has he practiced it, but he has also reached a much higher level than me!"
Song Yu thought it was no wonder. In this way, it was very close to the conclusion he had previously deduced.
"Prime Minister Chu also escaped from the Northern Qi Dynasty. His magic power should come from there, so I suspect that the Northern Qi royal family... probably has one. The reason why Qi Kun's old dog was so unstoppable that it has nothing to do with this. It doesn’t matter.”
"The most terrible thing is that once I practice this magic skill, I can't stop it, otherwise, it will suffer backlash."
The official looked at Song Yu and said calmly: "So, I should be alive soon."
Song Yu was stunned: "How could this happen?"
The official smiled and said: "That's it. The so-called cultivation of immortals is just a scam in the troubled times. Before you came out of Hanjiang, Prime Minister Chu's people were testing you like crazy. They didn't believe that your seal had been taken away by Guo Tie. Li Chaoen I sent someone to protect you, but I chose to sit on the sidelines. Actually, I also want to know whether you are controlled by a monster. If so...even if Li Chaoen blocks it, I will personally let Su Chaoyun kill you!"
"Even if there is no way to save it in the end, I hope there will be one less scourge in this world."
"Fortunately, you passed all the tests in the end, and your excellence gave me a glimmer of hope!"
"In this troubled world of demons and monsters, it is beyond the power of ordinary people to resist. Therefore, there are not many capable people in the court, but almost none of them are available. You...I don't know if it will work, but now, there is no other hope."
Song Yu said: "Aren't you still connected with the practice sect? Isn't there anything they can do? Are the disciples of the practice sect in Zhao not Han?"
The official smiled and said: "If I hadn't been protected by people from the cultivating sect, I might have died a long time ago. There have been countless private contests between the two sides over the years. Generally speaking, there is a winner and a loser for each other, and we can barely maintain a balance. . But you know, the speed of practicing magic skills is much faster than normal cultivation. If one goes up or down, you should understand what that means."
Song Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Then I am also practicing the orthodox mental method. I may not be as good as those of the sect. What can I change?"
The official said: "You are young and have talents far beyond those of the sect disciples. This is your advantage. All the resources of the royal family can be used for you. Li Chaoen, Su Chaoyun, Yan Yunxia... these people are all your helpers. !”
"Originally, I wanted to hide you and give you more time to grow, but kid... the enemy is not stupid."
These words made Song Yu silent, yes, the enemy is not stupid!
You can live a happy life if you want?
The struggle has always been to first sweep away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, then cut off the branches, and finally cut down the big tree. How can you give you a chance to grow insignificantly?
"If one day, even you can't stand it anymore, I may be gone by then, and my descendants...can't stop them at all. By then, you can take Huan'er with you. If you can, take me with you. Those useless sons, please run away! I heard that there is a large area of fertile land overseas. Anyway... the further away you are, the better! And warn future generations never to come back!"
The official looked at Song Yu with a serious look on his face: "But before that day comes, I... want to give it a try!"
