Chapter Twenty-Five: A Simple Story
Three years ago. In the Seven Combat Training Room in the "Ewha University Library" area. Banger... The channels in the body where the burning power of the body "replaced" the nerve veins, transmitting the instructions in the brain to every part of the body, and from that day on, he became one of the thickest nerves in the universe, until now the channels have collapsed and dispersed, and the slightest burning heat is free from the body, and the nerves are even thicker.
Therefore, many things that can shock ordinary people to the point that they are speechless and even trembling all over their bodies are difficult to shake his stubborn heart like a stone.
Being frantically whipped by the Emperor was a rare treat, but it could not shock him; Weak and paralyzed, he was brutally beaten until he was covered in blood, and his wounds were miserable, but he was afraid that even Bu Yu was about to lose his recognition, but he could still smile slightly, not care, let alone shock; Even if the emperor revealed the secret he had buried for a long time; nbsp; The secret between him and Uncle Feng Yu, the surprise in his heart calmed down for a moment, and he didn't leave too many shocking aftermaths.
It was only at this time that he was truly shocked when he heard Huai Caoshi's sarcastic and resentful words, and he was speechless for a long time.
The god of war, Li Pifu, gallops through the universe. The light was dazzling, reaching the pinnacle of personal strength, almost like a divine weapon. Uncle Feng Yu's tiger body was shocked, and he fought against more than ten military mecha with his bare hands, which was so strong that it made people's eyes dazzle.
I don't know when, this pair of brothers suddenly appeared in the Federation, showing their extraordinary strength in different fields and between light and shadow, against the glory of the empire and the charter, but their abilities have not been inherited, no matter how many melee masters have been produced in the Philadelphia Cultivation Hall, and even a wizard like Tian Da Stick, but after all, no one can get close to the realm of that pair of brothers.
According to Huai Caoshi, what the uncle taught him should be a kind of true qi called eight rice, and this true qi is the secret ability of the imperial family, which seems to be enough to explain a lot of problems.
"They're Imperials?"
Xu Le's swollen eyes didn't need to squint; He can also express his inner emotions as usual. Staring at the weedy poem in front of him, he asked in an incredulous tone.
After being silent for a long time, Huai Caoshi's eyes narrowed slightly. "Lucky or unlucky, it's hard for us Empire people to learn the ingratitude of your Federation people. ”
Xu Le understood this, and suddenly felt a burst of relaxation mixed with palpitations, if the Federation Military God and his teacher were really a pair of imperial brothers, it was really difficult for him to accept this absurd fact. However, with Huai Caoshi's denial, more questions poured into his mind, if the Li Pifu brothers were not from the empire, where did they learn their amazing skills? Why is the imperial family so familiar with the incarnation of Uncle Feng Yu?
It was nearly evening, and the red glow flew diagonally beyond the high palace walls, and the pale golden afterglow shone through the unknown green trees, sprinkled in this quiet corner.
"When did they come to the Empire to study?" Xu Le's mechanic's mindset was calm enough and precise enough to immediately grasp the core of the problem.
"Nasri must have been to the empire when he was young. But those stories between him and His Majesty. No one in this universe should know about it. As for Li Pifu, "there is no evidence to prove that he ever came to Tianjing Star to study before he led his army to invade the empire." ”
I don't understand, Xu Le asked hoarsely. The voice was extremely weak.
Huai Caoshi glanced at him, shook his head and said, "You're about to die, why do you care about this?"
"It is precisely because I am going to die that I have the great urge to know these secrets Xu Le coughed and replied, "I" I don't want to, I have eight hundred question marks drawn in my mind to die, the hungry ghost is uncomfortable, and the curious ghost is even more uncomfortable. ”
"Yes, you are going to die; nbsp;。
Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment and then said, "It doesn't hurt to let you know about the past of your father and your uncle, maybe you will understand where the anger of our empire comes from
"It must be a long story. Xu Le smiled hard, "I don't know if I can finish listening to it before I die."
"I don't know a lot about what happened back then. Huai Caoshi looked at him, pressed her fingers to the electric button next to the self-restraint table, and said expressionlessly: "This is a very simple story. ”
"It's always good to have a story to listen to before you die
Huai Caoshi was silent every time she walked towards a corner of the palace. The self-restraint table that bound Xu Le made a low motor sound, and moved forward with his back. Walk farther and farther under the bright red sunset.
The emperor and the doctor in the rear didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, and looked at the narrow back of the long and narrow road with distant eyes, and couldn't help but look at each other, and then quietly followed from a distance.
It's an interesting picture.
A death row prisoner wrapped in restraint belts, bandages, and medical glue into Nanling's specialty Ye rice bag, like a rare old man who is not good at walking, can not take care of himself leaning on his own equipment, following the young man in front of him with his hands on his back, thin but revealing a stronger smell than the huge palace, walking slowly under the high palace walls in the twilight.
It's like two people who cherish each other
"See that building?"
Huai Caoshi stood on the high palace wall, squinted at the civilian area shrouded in the western twilight, pointed to an all-white courtyard among the low houses, and asked.
Xu Le's eyes were swollen. I looked at it with difficulty for a long time, nodded, and didn't know what the last little story before I died had anything to do with that inconspicuous courtyard.
"That's the whole empire except the palace. The holiest place. Huai Caoshi showed a leisurely expression, "Master Fan Mansion." ”
"Master Fan Mansion?" Xu Le silently recited this strange name in his heart, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere.
"Master Fan is the most revered title in the Empire, but not too many people know about it, because they don't care about the reputation of the world. ”
Huai Caoshi explained slowly: "Every master is a genius who is not born in the world, maybe in the academic field, maybe in the economic field, or in other aspects, in short, they are the most secret and important foundation of the empire. ”
"You mean to say," Xu Le asked puzzled, "This position is hereditary?"
"Not bad. ”
"A family that will always give birth to geniuses?" Xu Le shook his head after a moment of silence and said, "I am from the Federation. Believing in equality, I don't believe that fate itself can cause this unfairness.
"There has never been such a thing as innate fairness in the universe. ”
Huai Caoshi said indifferently: "Only those who have royal blood can have the opportunity to practice Badao True Qi." It's not fair, but it's also true. So you have to admit that the Creator chose royalty from the beginning to lead the common people of the empire. ”
"The god of war and the Nasri brothers are not from the Empire, so naturally it is impossible for them to have royal blood, and I am not from the Empire, but we have all practiced." ”
Huai Caoshi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was also a little troubled by this question, and after a long silence, she said, "Maybe the creator chose the Li family brothers and you on your side. ”
"Should I feel honored?" Xu Le said, shaking his head.
"You should feel honored"
After making a brief comment, Huai Caoshi said directly: "Now let's start telling that simple story." ”
"Please. ”
"After or before the Empire and the Federation met, an Imperial ship passed through the space portal. Entered the territory of the Union and landed in a place called Philadelphia. ”
Wait, there are a lot of logical problems at the beginning of this simple story. ”
Xu Le couldn't care about his weak body, and resolutely retorted: "The empire's space technology was even more backward at that time than it is now. Not enough to support a spaceship to cross the galaxy. In addition, even if the spaceship flew over, it would not be possible to hide from the eyes of the charter and quietly land in the capital circle. ”
"As I said, I don't know too many details. I'm just going to tell a simple story. Standing in the twilight, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was about to ignite a fire, feeling a little uncomfortable with the fact that the guy next to her was still so stubborn on the verge of death, "And I firmly believe that the ship can do it, because this is the basis of the story, because the passengers on that ship are the former masters."
Xu Le was silent for a long time and said, "Okay. What's the back of the story?"
"The former Grand Master of the Empire found a pair of brothers in Philadelphia who could practice Badao True Qi. So he educates them. ”
"The brothers were still children. Simple enough, talented enough, growing very quickly, and even quickly powerful beyond the imagination of the master. ”
"The problem is that when they grow up, they are no longer pure. ”
One of the elder brothers changed his name to Li Pifu. Participated in the invasion of the Empire, completely ignoring the fact that the Empire was his teacher's hometown. ”
"Then one day. This man, Li Pifu, assassinated the Emperor, and in that battle, he also killed his teacher with the Eight Rice True Qi he had learned from the Empire. ”
"And then?"
"No more. ”
The sunset outside the palace walls was like a crack in the eyes of Zob, and countless blood flowed out of that crack. Huaicao poems are simple and simple sentences. It tells the story of a husband incident that happened decades ago, and perhaps this major event will never be recorded in history, but the master Fan who was far away from the empire, those two ignorant children who studied true qi in Philadelphia, wrote a few lines of indelible words in history with their own hands.
In this simple story, there is the incredible space journey of the former master, the integration and separation between races, the goodwill teachings and ruthless betrayal, and perhaps the psychological struggle and painful torment mixed with the races.
And blood.
"It's not an easy story. ”
Xu Le knew that she had no reason to deceive herself at this moment, although there were still countless questions that had not been answered, but just the information he had learned was enough to shock and shock, and he was stunned.
