Suddenly, the old emperor sat upright from the couch, looked at Su Ming, his eyes were burning, as if he wanted to burn him, and said word by word, "It's fine if the Imperial Master likes it, but the current national situation is difficult, I hope the Imperial Master can Share my worries."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the palace suddenly solidified, and Su Ming also felt an unspeakable pressure. As the words fell, clouds appeared in circles in the void, layer upon layer, and among the purple and green, there were hidden dragon eyes opening. , only a thin line, cold and majestic, looking down on all directions.
If you look closely, you will see that the dragon has a decree in its mouth to ban ghosts and gods.
All weirdness disappeared instantly, and all difficulties disappeared.
Under such suppression of dragon energy, even Su Ming's soul was affected, and its operation gradually became stagnant. Faced with this situation, Su Ming's expression did not change, and he thought to himself, "It's finally here. Is the old emperor trying to meet him?"
At this time, instead of fear in his heart, there was a hint of excitement in his heart. He was not afraid of the old emperor taking action, but was afraid that he would not take action. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
And he finally saw the domineering, majestic, and irresistible power of the Emperor's Dragon Qi. This power was enough to make any monk dare not go too far.
There is no free lunch in the world, and the position of National Master is not so easy to get. Everything has a price, but the price may be high or low.
Su Ming lowered his body slightly, put his palms on his chest, and bowed, "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor are your majesty's orders, and a poor monk should do his best."
The old emperor smiled softly, and the tense atmosphere in the palace suddenly dissipated. Even the lights became much brighter. "I think the imperial master must have discovered it. The kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty have never reached such a height as me. The dynasty dominates the world and guards the nine provinces. Neither gods nor demons dare to offend the power of Heaven and invade the imperial court, let alone stir up trouble in the dark."
"It's just that there is a price for doing this. The so-called price is that I bear the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty and bear the great luck of the world. How difficult it is for me."
"So, a long time ago, I established the position of national master, summoned the great immortal cultivators, and shared the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty with me to protect the imperial court."
"It's just that this destiny is more important than Mount Tai, especially for monks, and it has a great influence. Therefore, in the past few decades, the imperial court has had many national preceptors, but because of their insufficient cultivation, they are not enough All those who bear the fate are counterattacked by the fate and die unfortunately.”
"After the death of my former Imperial Master, I couldn't bear the monks all over the world to die in vain, so I shouldered the fortune of the Great Zhou alone. However, in recent years, the fortune of the Great Zhou has become stronger day by day, and my body is not as good as before. If anything goes wrong, the government and the public will be in turmoil. , the destiny is damaged, for the sake of the imperial court and the people of the world, I have no choice but to re-select the national advisor to shoulder the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"And the fate of the Great Zhou is related to the fate of all the people in the world. If something goes wrong, it will lead to the loss of life and the overthrow of all people. I hope the Imperial Master will consider it carefully. Of course, taking on the fate of the Great Zhou is very important. If the Imperial Preceptor is unwilling, I will not force it."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he took a long breath and kept his eyes on Su Ming, trying to see something from his face. But what disappointed him was that from the beginning to the end, Su Ming's expression was extremely... Indifferent, like an ancient well without any ripples.
"The way to luck lies in the hearts of the people. The will of the people is vast and boundless. Your Majesty, as an ordinary person, carries the will of billions of people. I, a poor monk, would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of all the people in the world." After saying this, Su Ming raised his palms to his chest. Bowed.
On the dragon bed, the old emperor saw the sincerity and respect on Su Ming's face, and the last trace of doubt in his heart disappeared. The man did not flinch or be afraid. Instead, he directly thanked him as an emperor for caring about the people, for being so considerate of all people, and for being compassionate. Can a good monk be a bad person?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the old emperor's face, and he relaxed a lot, "As the lord of the world, I am responsible for great fortune, so it should be so. There is no need for the imperial master to be more polite. Just be on your own."
Su Ming stood up slowly and took a long breath. Although his expression was as usual, his heart was in turmoil. It turned out that this was the reason why Great Zhou chose the national master.
The old emperor was old and in poor health, so he chose the Imperial Preceptor to share the burden for him. This is also the reason why the imperial court used the ladder to select the Imperial Preceptor. This was simply to bear the burden of luck.
However, shouldering the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty is definitely not just as simple as carrying the weight of the fortune. There must be other problems. Otherwise, it will just be the backlash of the luck, and his predecessors will not die. He can become the Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, no matter how bad it is. It is also the real Yuanying, and maybe it is not impossible for the Yuanshen to be powerful. However, they are all dead, and there is definitely something fishy in this.
Although Su Ming quickly noticed something was wrong, he did not reveal it, but asked softly, "Your Majesty, after so many years, can't you find other ways to solve this problem?"
Emperor Shenwu sighed and stood up from the dragon couch. Under the light, he looked so old that his body was even a little rickety. At this time, he looked more like a seventy-five-year-old man.
"Back then, I also tried it, but the path of destiny follows God's will and follows the people's will. A slight turmoil will cause a chain reaction and make the people fall into despair. Therefore, after trying it several times, I gave up. "
"For the sake of all the people in the world, no matter how much luck I have to bear, I am willing to bear it!" At this moment, Emperor Shenwu showed his royal demeanor, and his heroic words were all majestic and righteous, making people involuntarily convinced.
As if being affected by his words, Su Ming's eyes were slightly red, and his face showed reverence, "Your Majesty's heart is admirable. For the sake of all the people in the world, this poor monk is willing to take the responsibility for your Majesty's fate. Seriously, I hope your majesty will give me permission!" These few words were very resounding.
At this moment, even Emperor Shenwu was a little surprised. He originally wanted to give a few hints in his words, but he didn't expect that this person was immediately inspired.
At this time, the suspicion hidden in his bones broke out again. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly that he couldn't believe it.
But in a blink of an eye, he thought that even if the person in front of him had evil intentions, it would not help, because once he shared his destiny with him, he would be restricted by his destiny and could not do anything that would harm his destiny. Even if his destiny was damaged, he would They will also be implicated and suffer backlash.
This is equivalent to the fact that Emperor Shenwu not only found himself a person to share the burden of his luck, but also found himself a bodyguard. After all, in today's world, the only one who can harm his luck is himself. Once he If he dies, the court will be in trouble, the world will be shaken, and people's hearts will be ups and downs.
Therefore, this can be regarded as indirectly tying Su Ming to his chariot. From then on, they were just one person on the same boat. The difference was that he was able to abandon the boat and escape, but Su Ming could only rely on him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shenwu was completely relieved.
