Chapter 285: Variables
The journey of mortals for more than a month, the two of them really walked for more than a month, all the way forward, no longer martial artists, but just the most ordinary mortals.
Along the way, winter goes to spring, everything gradually recovers, and the greenery everywhere is dotted, blooming with the initial beauty of life.
An unprecedented calm time, without having to face a series of battles, injuries, and rushing, Ning Chen cherished it unusually, and always had a warm smile on his face.
Twilight Chengxue couldn't see him laughing, so she kept walking in front of her, out of sight.
Night fell, on the wilderness, the chill gradually rose, Ning Chen stopped his steps and said softly, "Take a break"
Hearing this, Twilight Chengxue also stopped and didn't say anything, for a month, she was used to it.
The bonfire that had been lit on the wasteland kept beating, dispelling the chill of early spring, although both of them were born and were not afraid of the cold.
Ning Chen looked at the bonfire, slightly in a daze, he knew that he couldn't drag it out for long.
The injuries on his body have recovered, and the road to the academy is almost finished.
Twilight Chengxue sat quietly by the campfire, looking at the man in front of her through the beating firelight, a faint brilliance flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She wasn't stupid enough to tell that he was stalling for time, even though it seemed to her pointless.
"Are your injuries healed?" asked Twilight Chengxue.
"En" Ning Chen came back to his senses, sighed lightly in his heart, and then nodded, "It's almost"
I thought it was "no" again, but I didn't expect to get a positive answer for the first time, Twilight Chengxue looked slightly stunned, and was about to say something, but when it came to her mouth, she swallowed it subconsciously.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning," Ning Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Yes"
Twilight answered without saying anything more.
The quiet night gradually passed, and when the eastern sky lit up, Ning Chen waved his hand to extinguish the bonfire, got up and said, "Let's go"
The next moment, two white lights streaked across the sky, and they rushed towards the direction of the academy.
In Tiancang Academy, the master turned his head to look into the distance, and there was no light in his old eyes.
The long years of a thousand years have exhausted all the strength of the old man, but he is still trying to support it until the arrival of the day of destiny.
Not far away, in another small courtyard, Dean Tiancang also felt the two breaths coming from the east and walked out of the wooden house.
A moment later, Ning Chen and Du Chengxue appeared and fell together.
"It's already decided, I should have said, if you are not sure, don't take risks easily" Dean Tiancang glanced at the two of them and said calmly.
"Please also ask the dean to advise," Ning Chen Zhengse said.
Chengying, the big yin and green finch, at the same time out of the sheath, the sword resounded through the academy, to the extreme cold, the surrounding thousands of zhang into the ice and snow world.
At the same time, in the Great Xia Imperial City, the Haowu Palace, Xia Ziyi, who had been asleep, woke up, opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and his long black and white hair fell down, stinging people's hearts.
"Oh, I'm finally awake," Concubine Luo said, with an incomprehensible smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Imperial Brother" Xia Xinyu, who had just come in with medicine, saw the figure sitting up on the bed, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she cried with joy.
It didn't take long for the news of King Haowu's awakening to spread throughout the imperial city, and many people were secretly relieved, especially the Confucian sects, who sent their prayers one after another.
Since the last early dynasty, Guang Luqing, the representative of Confucianism in the court, has obviously attracted the anger of the current Xia Emperor, but because of his public face, he did not tear his face in public.
The power of Confucianism in the court is now in jeopardy, but fortunately, King Haowu woke up in time and may be able to save this unfavorable situation.
However, by the time the Confucian giants gathered in the Haowu Palace, Xia Ziyi had already left.
In Weiyang Palace, the eldest grandson looked at the figure kneeling in front of him, and said with a calm expression, "Have you ever thought about it?"
"I have made up my mind, I hope that the queen mother will not stop me," Xia Ziyi said slowly.
The eldest grandson was silent, and after a long time, he sighed softly and waved his hand, "You go."
"Queen Mother"
Xia Ziyi kowtowed respectfully, and then got up and left.
Behind the eldest grandson, a faint melancholy flashed in Lime's eyes, and she could feel that after waking up this time, King Haowu had changed a lot compared to before.
In the deepest part of the palace, the artifact of Zhenguo was up and down, and the majestic and endless luck was permeated, and at this moment, a figure in a Xuanyi royal suit walked straight up, and after a short time, it disappeared into the purple qi.
The rumbling sound of the door opening sounded, and after a while, it slammed shut, and since then, there has been no news from the Great Xia Haowu King.
Purple qi swirled, and faintly, a huge stone gate loomed, the forbidden land, once one of the strongest foundations of Great Xia, but, after nearly a thousand years of evolution, it has now become the most dangerous forbidden place in the world.
Xia Ziyi entered, and for the first time in three hundred years, someone entered.
In front of the Eternal Night God Cult, the Abyss of Darkness, in front of the huge golem, there was still no movement in the coffin, only a powerful aura diffused, filling the entire dark abyss.
Zong Qianqiu walked over, knelt down respectfully, and waited quietly.
The Eternal Night God Cult, the lord of the major temples, has equal status, no one can be above the others, and the lord of the second temple kneels on the ground, which is shocking.
Suddenly, a dark aura that transcended heaven and earth appeared, suppressing everything, noble and cold, and the moment it appeared, Vientiane trembled with sorrow and creeping silence.
"It's slow"
The sound of flickering distance and proximity sounded, and it was impossible to tell where it came from, but it gave people an unprecedented pressure, surpassing any strong person, and making people feel their own insignificance.
"Lord, atonement for sins" Zong Qianqiu kowtowed to the way of sin.
"What about the scroll of nothing, how do you find it?"
"There's no news yet, the Eternal Night Canon has been disturbed due to the Scroll of Chaos, and it may take some time before its traces can be detected," replied Zong Qianqiu.
"Do it as soon as possible, and hope that next time, don't let me down again"
"Yes," he said.
The dark aura dissipated, and a blue figure fell, and when it came into his eyes, it was Xuanzhi who should have died in the hands of Meng Xuanji.
A sword pierces the heart, even if it is innate, it should not be saved, and the scene in front of him is really incomprehensible.
Zong Qianqiu got up and looked at Xuanzhi, whose eyes gradually returned to his senses, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hall Master" Xuanzhi knelt down and bowed respectfully.
"Get up, you are still the mystic knowledge of the Four Extremes Holy Land, don't show your flaws" Zong Qianqiu said lightly.
"Subordinates understand," Xuan Zhi said respectfully.
"Notify the Lord of the Four Extremes Realm, ready to open the channel of the two realms" Zong Qianqiu Dao.
"Obedience"
Xuan Zhi received the order, immediately got up, and left quickly.
Tiancang Academy, the edge of the two swords, is getting sharper and sharper, and even Dean Tiancang feels a strong pressure.
After all, the injuries in Ning Chen's body were completely healed, his body was recovered, his injuries were completely removed, and for the first time in two years, he was able to exert his full strength.
With the addition of three volumes, coupled with a peerless foundation, and the extreme speed of Twilight Chengxue's speed to the peak, the dean who was as strong as Tiancang had to concentrate on it, shaking the double swords with both palms, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Although the two sides have their own reservations and their moves are not finished, the edge of the war is still rolling in the wild sand between the sky and the earth, covering the sky and the sun.
The sword of the Great Yin Qingque trembled continuously, lifting lightly as heavy, shaking the sky, splitting the ground and splitting it.
Twilight Chengxue's figure is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish, and the shadow does not see the blade of the sword, but it is already the reincarnation of more than a dozen swords.
Half an hour later, the two sides stopped, and the dean of the sky waved his hand to disperse the dust, and the cracked earth slowly closed.
"There is only so much I can help you, but the ability of the martial monarch is above me, you have to be careful, if the battle situation changes, don't force it, withdraw in time"
"Thank you, Dean," Ning Chen politely saluted and said respectfully.
"Ning Chen, come here" At this moment, an old voice came, hoarsely said.
"You come over too" At the same time, the master's voice also sounded in Twilight Chengxue's ears.
Ning Chen was stunned for a moment, looked at the small courtyard in the distance, and didn't understand why the master was looking for them at this time.
Du Chengxue's eyes narrowed slightly, she didn't expect that there was such a strong person in Tiancang Academy.
"Master told you, come over," Dean Tiancang obviously heard Master's voice as well, and reminded.
Ning Chen nodded, took Du Chengxue, and walked quickly towards the master's courtyard.
In the small courtyard, the master rarely went out of the room, looking at the two people who came over, a faint tiredness flashed on the old face.
At the same time, Xia Mingri, who was discussing the war with his ministers, was just about to get up, when he suddenly stumbled, and the black blood in his mouth overflowed, and he fell directly backwards.
"Your Majesty"
Tai Zhigong and the others were shocked, and immediately stepped forward and said urgently.
"Summoning ...... Call ......" Black blood flowed out of Xia Mingri's mouth, and as soon as he said two words, he fainted.
The ministers of "Your Majesty" were flustered, and they didn't know why such a change had happened.
Outside the Heavenly Oracle Palace, many palace maids and eunuchs, and patrolling guards saw this scene, and at this moment, their souls were shocked, for fear of being destroyed.
"Come on, go and ask the imperial doctor quickly, if anyone dares to chew his tongue more than half a sentence, he will destroy the nine clans" Tai Zhigong stepped forward, and used his innate true qi to protect Xia Mingri's last breath, and then ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes"
A hidden dark dragon guard appeared, and his figure flashed and disappeared into the temple.
In the big summer crisis, the ministers were panicked, and the eyes of the prince were murderous, and he quickly calculated the possible murderer in his heart.
The biggest suspect must be the Eternal Night Divine Sect, but the people around Xia Mingri are all people who have been strictly interrogated, and it is extremely unlikely that he will be involved in the Divine Cult.
The imperial doctor soon arrived, and after taking the pulse, his face changed at that time.
"Please also ask the public to cooperate and help seal His Majesty's heart"
The imperial doctor took out the silver needle, and quickly asked for the needle in several places in Xia Ming, and dispersed the poison with all his might.
Tai Zhigong listened to the words of the imperial doctor, protected the heart with true qi, and prevented the poison from rushing to the heart.
The imperial doctor's surname is Li, and he is the one with the highest Chinese medicine skills among the imperial doctors of the Great Xia Dynasty, even if he is not weaker than the sages in ancient medicine.
However, the poison in Xia Mingri was obviously not ordinary, and when Dr. Li performed the acupuncture, the hot sweat on his forehead continued to flow, and he looked extremely struggling.
Half an hour later, Imperial Physician Li put away the silver needle and said in a deep voice, "The old minister has done his best, and I hope that the public will be prepared to set up a new emperor for Daxia as soon as possible."
