The day turned into a long night in an instant.
A huge crescent moon hangs high in the sky.
The cold moonlight shone on the earth. The people were stunned by the sudden "climate change". The baskets, shovels, candied haws, and skewers in their hands fell on the street and shattered at their feet.
The streets of the Imperial City that were supposed to be bustling in broad daylight were suddenly silenced for a moment.
Wow!
The common people dispersed, some rushed back to their houses to pack their things, and some rushed to the most magnificent building in the center of the imperial city.
In the blink of an eye, the turbulent divinity condensed on Zheng Xiu's fingertips, forming a small point like a mini black hole. The surrounding void collapsed, compressed, twisted, and finally disappeared.
With a "noise" and a sigh, Zheng Xiu's arrogant indifference suddenly turned into deep contemplation and solemnity.
Lady Anne hid her hands uneasily behind her back. Seeing Zheng Xiu's sudden change, she looked away guiltily and coughed twice: "Meow, they have noticed your divinity, and you have attracted their attention. "
"Sooner or later." Zheng Xiu shook his head: "Their 'incarnations' failed to compete for the key, and they will never give up. It's better to show off our cards in one breath and let them know that we are not soft persimmons."
"Once the 'defensive canopy' is fully opened, a large amount of energy will continue to be consumed. I'm worried that we won't be able to hold on for long."
Orange Cat knew what Zheng Xiu had done, and the defensive sky curtain opened, which was equivalent to putting the ship into a complete defensive posture. Under the effect of the "defensive canopy", their prying eyes can be isolated as much as possible.
"Even if it is made up of 'loopholes', you still have to have confidence in your own ship." Zheng Xiu touched Annie's furry head, squinted his eyes and smiled: "After all, you were once a serious master." Although the crotch was stretched a little, there were a lot of holes, and now it was a little collapsed, Zheng Xiu paused, added three sentences in his mind, and continued to encourage: "The real master, the supreme, the immortal, as long as you are here, I have confidence."
"Huh! That's necessary." Annie proudly stood up her bulging chest and crossed her paws across her chest.
"Huh? What book are you holding in your hand?"
"Huh? No." Annie flipped her paw and the ancient book disappeared. She blinked her innocent cat eyes, looking very innocent.
"Don't read books randomly." Zheng Xiu reminded: "Especially books written by evil children."
As he spoke, Zheng Xiu stretched out his palms toward the rows of bookshelves. Behind Zheng Xiu, lights and shadows were dazzling, and illusory squares were generated out of thin air. The squares were spliced together, and a splendid door appeared in the flickering place.
"Open the warehouse."
The splendid doors opened to both sides, and pitch-black tentacles stretched out from inside. The soft tentacles, like the robotic arms of a workshop machine, faithfully carried out Zheng Xiu's "instructions" and quickly and orderly collected all the books on the bookshelf into the "warehouse".
Zheng Xiu snapped his fingers.
"pilot."
The white-haired navigator, only the size of a thumb, flew out of the ripples of the void like an elf and landed on Zheng Xiu's shoulder: "Captain dad."
She looked down at the orange cat politely and said, "Mascot mother."
Lady Anne's furry little face suddenly fell.
Zheng Xiu's expression went blank.
"What's wrong? Dad, Mom."
The navigator didn't know that his two short sentences made a god and a master angry at the same time.
"fine."
Zheng Xiu decided to take time out later to adjust the navigator's functions. The tentacles were at work, and in the blink of an eye, the villain's study was emptied out by the tentacles.
"Monitor the operational status of the defense canopy."
"Analyzing the Difficulty Index of Final Defense Purification."
"I want to take a look at the current situation of the Kingdom of God and assess the risks of trying to open the current channel to the Kingdom of God as soon as possible."
"In addition, the detection and maintenance of the 'intrusion channel' should be carried out and the priority of this matter should be adjusted to the highest level."
"These books are first placed in the corner of the warehouse, with the encryption restriction that 'felines will be struck by lightning once touched.'" Zheng Xiu glanced at the stunned orange cat and explained calmly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting anyone. You, I’m just in case.”
Lady Anne: “Huh???”
The conversation between Zheng Xiu and the elf navigator at this moment was like a boss and a secretary. Zheng Xiu issued instructions one by one, and the navigator nodded from time to time to indicate that he had taken note of it and carried it out faithfully.
The secretary has something to do.
Zheng Xiu waved his hand.
The navigator stretched out his toothpick-like fingers and made circles in front of him.
As her fingertips moved, a mini door opened and closed.
Just before the navigator was about to enter, he suddenly turned his head timidly and asked: "Captain, dad, can I... have a name?"
Zheng Xiu and Orange Cat were stunned at the same time. Zheng Xiu then remembered that the seventh-generation navigator was still in an "unnamed" state. He coughed twice and nodded in agreement. Just when she was about to give the little secretary a domineering and revealing name, the navigator got the captain's "permission". A light flashed above her head, and the name appeared:
[Seventh generation navigator: Xiaowu. 】
Zheng Xiu raised his finger and put it back silently. This reputation seemed to be good.
The orange cat stared, strange, the navigator does not have a "personality" in the setting, why would this generation of navigator... take the initiative to make requests? Another bug?
She blinked at Zheng Xiu, her eyes saying: There is a loophole and it should be fixed.
Lady Anne thinks it is not a good thing that office-type navigators have something called "personality".
Zheng Xiu curiously asked the navigator who was at a loss at the side: "Why do you want to call me Xiaowu?"
“Don’t Captain Dad like it?”
The new navigator Xiao Wu's mini body stopped on Zheng Xiu's fingertips, holding his chin in both hands, looking like he was about to cry.
Zheng Xiu quickly comforted: "No, no, no, I'm just curious."
The navigator Xiao Wu then showed a strange "smile". To her, even a "smile" was something new that had never happened in millions of years. Xiaowu smiled and said, "I have interpreted the remaining damaged data in the 'World Axis' over and over again."
"Huh??? There is still damaged data left in the world axis?"
Annie did it again.
Zheng Xiu ignored Annie. It seemed that no matter how big a flaw appeared in Annie, Zheng Xiu couldn't be moved.
Xiaowu continued: "When I was bored, I spent many years interpreting it, and there were only two names left in the remaining data. 'Xi' and 'Wu'."
"But why did you choose 'U'?"
Zheng Xiu was even more surprised.
He knew very well that the navigator could not make decisions beyond the captain's authority, let alone preferences. But at this moment, Xiaowu obviously made his "choice" based on his personal "preference".
"Xiao Wu... I don't know."
Facing the captain's question, Xiao Wu looked confused. After a moment of silence, he shook his head.
"It's okay, Xiaowu, just Xiaowu, it's fine."
Zheng Xiu waved his hand, and Xiao Wu happily circled around Zheng Xiu's father several times, and happily went back to work.
"is this okay?"
After Xiao Wu left, Annie took the initiative to jump into Zheng Xiu's lapel, found the royal treasure nest and curled up, warm and warm, and asked the questions she was worried about.
"What's wrong? She's happy and more efficient, and the benefits are still mine, isn't it? Isn't it a normal business practice to give out candies and dates to employees? Besides, I don't have to pay her a salary. "
As soon as Zheng Xiu started to manage the world, he used the business thinking of making a fortune.
When Annie heard this, she was suddenly startled and opened her mouth wide.
You are such a newborn!
Walk out of the study.
Anne asked what happened to the evil boy.
"In the final analysis, it was me who abandoned him. The 'human' part of me is compassionate and hard to act on."
After a moment of silence, a touch of sadness appeared on Zheng Xiu's face: "I have retained the purest divinity."
"That's contaminated divinity. What's the use of keeping it?"
Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "Balance."
Annie's eyes were dark, looking into Zheng Xiu's body, as if she wanted to see through Zheng Xiu's body.
In Zheng Xiu's spiritual sea, in addition to the remaining three body incarnations, there are also two "clones" that look exactly like Zheng Xiu but are slightly smaller in size. The two clones are highly condensed from pure divinity, the black one is like ink jade, and the white one is as pure as pearls.
One black and one white, one good and one evil, sitting cross-legged in Zheng Xiu's heart.
Zheng Xiu smiled and said, "You said that the so-called good and evil, the so-called right and wrong, are just the constraints and shackles imposed by inferior beings on their actions. Gods and masters act without distinction between good and evil, right and wrong."
"The human part of me has never been able to agree with what you said, but the divine part of me knows that you are right."
"The world is never fair. All I can do is stick to myself and find my own... way."
"The monk cut off the evil and created the 'sacrifice', and I accepted everything I had and accepted all the consequences of what I have created over the years. Divinity is me, humanity is me, good is me, evil is me, they are all it's me."
The orange cat's eyes narrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Look at the authority."
Zheng Xiu raised his index finger, and a ball of fluid "substance" squirmed on Zheng Xiu's fingertips as always.
It’s changing and erratic all the time.
The so-called Trinity does not simply mean that when a living being gathers three elements, it can ascend and become a god. But when divinity, divine power, and authority achieve the trinity, the three elements will be closely related to form a whole, and they are inseparable from each other. Changes in divinity will implicate divine power and authority. In the same way, if there is a problem with any one "person" in the Trinity, the other two "persons" will be implicated.
This is why, when Anne's authority was broken, her divine power weakened, her divinity also declined, her behavior became more and more unqualified, and she lived like an ordinary little female cat.
Annie stared at the mass on Zheng Xiu's fingertips for a long time.
She still hasn't figured it out.
"Is your authority accomplished or not?"
"How do I know?" Black lines stood up on Zheng Xiu's forehead: "Are you the master or am I the master? You ask me?"
Anne was speechless.
There was chaos on the streets.
The Red King Mirror on Zheng Xiu's waist shone red as if it were free of charge.
His phone calls were nearly blasted.
Zheng Xiu walked towards Prince Chi's Mansion, strolled casually on the street, and selectively answered Qing Shisan's call.
"Your Majesty," Qing Shisan said in a businesslike tone, "I have four things to report."
"explain."
"The first thing, my lord, you might be able to discover by just raising your head and looking at the sky."
"Don't worry about this."
"Um?"
"I did it."
"...I know." There was a sound of the mirror falling to the ground from the other end of the mirror. Qing Shisan was so shocked that his hands shook. Chang Shihui dropped it. He picked it up hurriedly, took a puff of a small cigarette to calm down, and continued Said: "The second thing is that the door of the Disaster Prevention Bureau is almost bursting. People all over the city have gone to the Disaster Prevention Bureau for help because of the 'change of weather'. There are different opinions... Well, of course, I won't give a detailed list here. , Anyway, it is your handiwork, Your Majesty."
The common people have a lot of speculations about the "change of the sky" and their imagination is extremely rich. The birth of a demon, the decline of the country's fortunes, or the catastrophe of the world. There was even a small well citizen who thought that he had knocked over the nameless statue of the god enshrined in his home, which had caused the disaster, so he voluntarily surrendered to the disaster prevention bureau to seek leniency.
"Let Jiang Gaoyi draft the text to appease the people."
Zheng Xiu made a decision quickly.
After he said these words, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic. I miss seeing Mr. Jiang, my former prison inmate, immersed in writing in his office.
"The third thing is that Old Wei is critically ill and sixteen imperial doctors have been beheaded in the palace. As soon as we came back, an urgent summons came from the palace."
"It is rumored that Situ Yong has entered the palace, right?"
"Yes. The old miracle doctor has found an excuse to hide."
"What excuse?"
"He has diarrhea. He is still hiding in the latrine, and more than a hundred imperial guards have surrounded the old miracle doctor's yard. By the way, he is crying and asking you, Prince Chi, to answer the call."
Zheng Xiu pondered for a moment: "Let him continue to pull, the fourth piece?"
"The fourth item is related to the third item." Qing Shisan took a deep breath of dry smoke. His face in Chang Shi's painting was shrouded in smoke and could not be seen clearly. Qing Shisan said: "I'm afraid that we have just returned from the Northern Barbarians and will be involved in other things. Old Wei is seriously ill. Because the crown prince is young and ignorant, the three princes are ready to make a move and tend to be the important ministers of the three princes. I tried to force the old Wei to issue a posthumous edict, and before the crown prince came of age, I wanted to choose one of the three princes to assist in political affairs."
In fact, there was a fifth thing, but Qing Shisan felt that there was no need to report it to Zheng Xiu.
The man who was kind to Ji Hongou finally suffered from serious illness and passed away sadly a few months ago. Qing Shisan felt guilty at the moment. He was ashamed of the secret joy in his heart and felt that the man's death was related to him.
That man and Ji Hongou were known as husband and wife, and they had gotten along like brothers and sisters over the years.
Qing Shisan had actually been waiting for this moment for all these years, but when the moment actually came, he felt at a loss and didn't know how to face Ji Hongou.
"Okay, I understand." Zheng Xiu didn't react much after hearing this. In fact, with his current status, the fireworks and disputes in the world are just a soporific embellishment for him. They are trivial and far from elegant.
"Then... us?" Qing Shisan asked tentatively. He still didn't know that the Red King was not only the king of the world, but also the emperor of the world. The Lord who is more supreme than kings. At this moment, even if Yan Jiji is asked to rush to order a batch of "Red King Statues" and put incense in every household to worship them and worship them as gods, it is not too much. Zheng Xiu's status at this moment is so high-end.
Zheng Xiu smiled slightly: "There is no need to worry about Ji Hongou, that man's death is his fate. He lived twenty more years because of Ji Hongou's care. This debt is enough."
Qing Shisan was suddenly startled when he heard this. Zheng Xiu seemed to know everything beforehand and took the initiative to comfort Qing Shisan.
Without waiting for Qing Shisan's reaction, Zheng Xiu said calmly:
"Let Er Niang cook a meal and make something that I like to eat on weekdays."
"tell them,"
"I'm back."
