It's night, north of Macang City, surrounded by vast fields.
Black shadows gradually gathered into the open space.
"Tuorong City is defeated, but I still want to thank you all for your help. Today I invite you to ascend to the Heaven Road. Anyone with a sound mind can pass the test of the Heaven Road and ascend to the upper world." Xu Weixian sacrificed a yellow talisman to break the clouds. The fog is removed and the bright skylight is brought down, like a ladder leading straight to the sky.
The martial arts masters who had helped Mingtang in the battle couldn't hide their excitement and rushed to step on the ladder. This ladder was so easy to climb. Some people stepped on it and missed it, while others insisted on walking up to mid-air, and their bodies were shaky. .
"Prime Minister, why can't I go up!" The big man who couldn't step on the ladder asked in a rough voice, suspecting that Xu Weixian was deceiving him.
Xu Wei first shook his head and said, "Those who have a clear mind will be able to do it themselves."
The big man's face was red, and he stepped on the ladder again without giving up. He still missed the point. Looking at the other people who could walk a certain distance, he said in a vicious voice, "I almost died for Mingtang. Don't I even have a chance to go up?"
The Road to Heaven is originally a test of the school's Taoist heart. Those who can successfully walk on it will be picked up by the sect for training. How can they pass casually? Xu Wei first lowered his eyes to appease him, "Brother, maybe you missed the mark temporarily. You might as well take a good rest for a while. Mingtang is also willing to use the position of general to ask me to serve as an official. When there is a chance to reopen the road to heaven someday, you can try again."
The big man's face looked better and he didn't complain anymore.
On the other side, Jue Sui Qinghan watched the scene on the way to heaven and prepared to go up.
Suddenly, a fat pigeon appeared in the night sky, glaring at Yue Jie's face. Sui Qinghan recognized this pigeon as the one from last time, but by some strange mistake, it did not ascend to heaven first.
Yuanjue grabbed the fat pigeon and took off the creed. His brows gradually tightened, "A plague breaks out in Qingzhou, and the prince wants Bing Xin Snow Lotus."
Sui Qinghan glanced at him indifferently, "What do I want from you?"
"The Ice-Hearted Snow Lotus was originally hidden in the temple. If he wanted to save the people, I should ask Master to donate generously. However," Yuan Jie looked embarrassed, "The young monk was frail when he was young, so Master gave me the Ice-Hearted Snow Lotus to eat."
"No, the young monk has to go and ask clearly." Yuanjue said goodbye to Sui Qinghan, not even caring about the road to heaven, and rushed to Qingzhou.
Sui Qinghan lowered his eyes, if Qingzhou was disturbed by the plague, would it cause serious damage to his pace?
But what does this have to do with her.
Sui Qinghan laughed at herself and entered the road to heaven. The peculiarity on the road to heaven left her no time to think about anything else.
On the way to heaven, all kinds of voices were asking questions about my heart, and all kinds of visions were blocking my heart. Sui Qinghan broke through them one by one. I walked higher and higher, and reached the top of the sky. It seemed that I could soar as long as I took one more step.
As a result, this step caused her to fall into a desperation that has not been broken for years. The sun shines on the branches of plum blossoms in full bloom, and she is proud of the frost and snow. She follows her mother through the imperial garden, and suddenly looks up to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. With a startling glance and meeting his gaze, a turmoil arose in my heart that could not calm down for a long time.
Later, she knew that it was the prince, her future husband.
The young man's admiration came so unreasonably.
She still doesn't know whether it was love at first sight or a compromise and persistence with her destiny - her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words made her prepare to become a qualified crown princess and a qualified queen since she was a child.
At that time, her name was Zhao Liyou, and she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhen. She had often gone to the palace since she was ten years old to listen to the late empress's instructions. The late empress was an elegant and understanding woman, with an air of purity and purity rarely seen in the world. He does as he pleases, and occasionally cooks spoons and makes cakes himself. If the prince happens to be skipping class with a few crown princes and princesses, a few plates of snacks will be gone in a few seconds, and the queen will not be annoyed at all. Wait until they finish eating, and then let them go. The guards took them back to the school.
"Why don't you eat?"
Faced with the boy's inquiry, she was at a loss. She picked up the nearest coconut snowflake cake and tasted it. It was a bit too sweet and she didn't like it very much. But the prince Xu saw that she was eating seriously. Whenever this happened, a plate of snowflake cakes would be brought to her first to avoid being snatched up by the other princes and princesses. Seeing this, the princes and princesses did not dare to reach out to take it, so she had to finish the plate of snowflake cakes alone. , and gradually fell in love with this taste.
Those princes and princesses were actually hostages fostered in the palace by various princes. No matter how well they played when they were young, cracks would appear at a certain point. That winter, for some unknown reason, Emperor Jing suddenly showed mercy and allowed them to go back to reunite with their relatives and friends. , also that winter, the late queen passed away.
She claimed to have died of illness, but she remembered the black blood the late empress vomited when she was dying, and the words he held her hand with a mixture of sadness and sigh, "Liyou, if you can, don't enter the emperor's house."
She turned around and saw the prince's cold face, his eyes as deep as the abyss. From then on, she never saw the emotions in his eyes clearly again.
The situation suddenly became tense, and there were changes in various places. She didn't know what was going on in the court. She only knew that during that time, her father always went out in a hurry and came back very late. Until one day, her father sighed and said to her, "The prince wants to go." Conscripted personally."
At the gate of the city, the prince was dressed in black crown prince uniform. He looked so majestic and fierce, yet so inhumane, as if he would leave the imperial capital forever with his army.
She found out from her father where the prince had marched, how many battles he had fought, and whether he had been injured. Finally, two years later, the prince's troops returned to the court, and the streets of the imperial capital were empty to welcome the triumphant prince.
He is sitting on a horse, like a god on the Nine Towers.
She heard that Daqian's children were crazy about him, and heard that there was a saying among the people, "When you see the prince, you will be mistaken for life, but when you don't see the prince, you will be mistaken for life." She listened to the maid and put on the phoenix crown and Xiapei.
The situation in the south was still unstable, and the prince returned to the court only because the court urged him to get married quickly and leave a bloodline for the royal family.
That year, she was sixteen.
On her wedding night, she was full of expectations, but what she got was despair. The prince took another person's hand and entered their palace, telling her that he loved the person next to him and wanted the person next to him to become Zhao Liyou and the crown prince, hoping that she would do it.
"Gu, I can find you a safe place to live."
She clutched Xipa and tried her best to answer "no need". She asked her grandfather to take her back to Xuanyin Palace and changed her name to Sui Qinghan.
She thought that the only one who would accompany her from now on was Shan Guxue, and thought that she would never see that person again. However, four years later, she was caught off guard and bumped into the prince who came to challenge Xuanyin Palace. She tried her best to hold the sword. He stabbed away, becoming more and more unscrupulous under his guilty gaze.
This person is really her disaster.
Sui Qinghan failed in the last step.
Xu Weixian was speechless. He thought Yuanjue and Sui Qinghan were most likely to pass the road to heaven. One left in the middle and the other was just one step away. What was going on?
When the moon reaches the middle of the sky, those who can pass the road to heaven have already gone to the upper world, and those who cannot can have already left. Xu Weixian hesitated in his heart and slowly stepped onto the road to heaven. He usually walked on the road to heaven as smoothly as walking on the ground, but today he walked a little tremblingly. His body is cold. Is there something wrong with his state of mind?
He reached the end of the road to heaven without any danger, met the elder of his master, bowed and asked, "King Mingtang is dead, and Daqian seems to have not exhausted his energy. Can Mingtang really be the master of the world?"
"Dagan must die."
Xu Wei bowed down first, "I understand."
He frowned and thought for a long time. Knowing himself and his enemy, he would be victorious in every battle. Let's go and have a look under the prince's rule.
