Lucius got down from the ox cart, and under the strict supervision of the heavy soldiers in the imperial city, after many inspections, he was able to enter the palace, and in the garden where the night banquet was held, he saw the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen with a somewhat haggard face.

Seeing Lucius coming alone, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen glanced at each other, and then the Holy Emperor said guiltily: "It's really hard for you, we didn't expect that things would develop to this point, only to blame me and the Holy Queen for believing in those people too much, and the result led to the current result." ”

Lu Xius didn't mind the guilt of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, but said with some concern: "I don't know how the master is now, it seems that the national teacher seems to be very powerful." ”

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen glanced at each other, and the Holy Queen opened her mouth and sighed: "Master didn't have to work so hard, although the national teacher said that his strength was very strong, and he had entered the Immortal Realm to learn the immortal method, but his strength could not be compared with the master, but he has now mobilized the power of Suzaku, so he has overwhelmed the master in terms of strength." ”

Lu Xius stared at the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen, and asked with some puzzlement: "You have been talking about the Vermilion Bird all along, what is that? The disciples of the Three Sects who intercepted me before also said that I actually left the ox cart, which is equivalent to stepping on the back of the Vermilion Bird, but what is the Vermilion Bird?"

The Holy Empress glanced at the Holy Emperor and seemed hesitant to tell the Tang Empire's secrets, after all, it was related to the rules and luck of the entire East.

And the Holy Emperor pondered for a moment, but without too much hesitation, he told Lucius the truth personally, which was regarded as answering the doubts in Lucius's heart.

It turned out that before the original founder built the Sky City, the East had already begun to sprout its own civilization, and at that time, the East had not yet received the domination of the fairy realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and various civilizations reflected each other, showing a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

At that time, the local civilization of the East had a very special school of thought, which developed its own civilization to a very high level. And with the help of the wisdom of a large number of people of insight, it has almost approached the point of the eternal kingdom of God, and the civilization at that time can be said to be extremely sublimated, even the immortal realm and the Buddha kingdom must avoid its edge.

It's just that when that glorious civilization reached its peak, I don't know why it began to decline in an instant, almost without any signs, as if it decayed and declined overnight.

No one knows why, and after the fall of that glorious civilization. The civilization of the East was gradually dominated by the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and the native civilization was gradually annexed and annihilated.

At that time, the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom instigated the three clans of humans, demons, and demons to fight behind their backs, and because there were too many wise men of the Terran Race, the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom once wanted to let the Demon Race and the Demon Race defeat the Terran Race, so as to control the entire East in their hands, and they became the masters of the East.

With the behind-the-scenes support of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, the Demon Race and the Demon Race naturally increased in strength, on the contrary, the Human Race gradually began to decline. It has almost begun to become a vassal of the other two races, and under the large-scale attack of the other two races, it has gradually reduced the area where the human race can live.

In the end, only the land where Chang'an City is located is left. At that time, the last surviving fire of the human race could only carry out some activities in Chang'an City and its surrounding land.

But even so, the demon race and the demon race still do not intend to let go of the human race, and plan to conquer the last habitat of the human race in one fell swoop. In this way, the human race will be completely controlled in their hands, and all the human beings in the East will become their vassals and slaves, so that the human race will never turn over.

The demons and demons continue to attack. When the Terrans were almost losing their last foothold, a group of mysterious people suddenly emerged within the Terrans.

They used the power left over from that glorious civilization to repel the armies of the demon and demon clans in one fell swoop, and even in the face of the suppression of the immortal realm and the Buddha kingdom later, that group of people was still not afraid.

Legend has it that those who understood the lost civilization of antiquity, in the final decisive battle, simply used the rules of heaven and earth to draw a huge talisman to kill the immortals and Buddhas from the fairy realm and the Buddha country, almost causing the fairy realm and the Buddha kingdom to almost lose their control of the East.

It's a pity that those who understand the lost civilization have not reached the peak of the ancient period, and they can't really mobilize the full power of the entire plane.

In the end, they were not able to completely expel the immortals and Buddhas of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, but in order to protect the revival of the human race, those people finally worked together to draw a huge talisman, and on top of that huge talisman, built the current Chang'an City.

The reason why it is named "Chang'an" is to imply that the human race can be in eternal peace, and will no longer be disturbed by the demon and demon races, and will not be enslaved by the fairy realm and the Buddha country.

"The so-called Vermilion Bird is actually that talisman, because the power of that talisman was not strong enough, not enough to deter the immortal realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and not enough to suppress the luck of the human race, so at that time, the Vermilion Bird, who sympathized with the weakness of the human race, sacrificed his life and injected his life's essence into that talisman. ”

The Holy Emperor couldn't help but sigh when he said this: "Chang'an City has been weathered by ups and downs several times, I don't know how many human dynasties have been witnessed, in the Han Empire, when Chang'an City was rebuilt, it was specially put out of that talisman and built that Vermilion Bird Street in the city." ”

Hearing this, Lucius finally understood what the Vermilion Bird represented, and also understood the origin of the spacious Vermilion Bird Street in Chang'an City.

It turned out that the Vermilion Bird Street was a powerful talisman left over from the lost civilization of the ancient Oriental Terrans, which was used to suppress the luck of the Terrans, and at the same time, it was also to deter the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, so that the two extraterritorial Eternal God Kingdoms did not dare to underestimate the Oriental Terrans.

After thinking about it, Lucius asked a little puzzled: "Since Suzaku is staying to deter the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and is the last hole card of the human race, then why is he being used by one of the three sects, the national teacher of the True Martial Sect Observation Master? Could it be that Suzaku no longer protects you?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor shook his head and replied: "No, it's not that Suzaku no longer protects us, and it's not that Suzaku can't distinguish between friend and foe, but because the national teacher is also a human being, a native of the East, and he only mobilized part of Suzaku's power, and didn't really awaken Suzaku, so Suzaku lent him those powers." ”

Lucius lowered his head and pondered the Holy Emperor's words for a moment before he continued, "You mean, in fact, Suzaku is still in a long sleep, and his power is only unconsciously mobilized?"

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen nodded, and the Holy Queen immediately said: "That's it, in fact, none of us know the method of awakening the Vermilion Bird, but mobilizing part of the strength of the Suzaku is something that many people can do, but the national teacher has taken the lead, and the master has now lost the first hand." ”

Lucius lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "Isn't it very dangerous for Master to speak of this?" After all, he has no way to use the power of Suzaku. ”

The Holy Emperor's expression was also a little solemn, but he was not very pessimistic, but comforted Lucius and said: "Don't worry, after all, the master has studied ancient civilizations for many years, and he also understands the power of the Vermilion Bird. ”

After listening to the stable words of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, Lucius gradually calmed down, although he was still worried about the master in his heart, but he was no longer as worried as before.

Lu Xiusius, who had calmed down, quickly remembered the purpose of his trip, and hurriedly said to the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress: "Holy Emperor Xià, Holy Empress Niangniang, in fact, the purpose of my venture into the palace to see you two this time is to ask you for permission to lead my troops to Tianjiang to fight the demon clan. ”

"What?" Lucius's words shocked the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, and the Second Saint had no idea that Lucius had come here for such a purpose.

The Holy Queen asked a little incredulously, "Are you saying that you plan to go to the Tianjiang River to stop the demon army from crossing the river?"

Lu Xiusi nodded sternly and said, "Yes, but I not only want to block the attack of the demon army, but I also want to defeat the demon army, so as to resolve the crisis that Datang is facing now." ”

This time, the Holy Emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but ask: "You said that you want to defeat the demon clan army? You, are you sure? You must know that the demon clan army is prepared for this attack, their strength is very terrifying, and there is also the support of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom behind them. ”

Lu Xius did not have the slightest fear on his face, but still said very firmly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, please rest assured, since I took the initiative to ask the two of you, I already have absolute certainty, I believe that the mechanical corps under my command can defeat the demon army." ”

Then the conversation changed: "What's more, even if the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom are going to be stronger in the end, aren't there still His Majesty and Niangniang and the Master?

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, and the two really didn't expect that Lu Xius would ask for help in such a direct way, expressing his willingness to help the Tang Empire through the current crisis.

And hearing Lu Xiusi's words, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen also felt a flame burning in their chests, and they also had a sense of anger in their hearts, wanting to have a real decisive battle with the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, and to be able to fight for the glimmer of life to defeat the other party.

After thinking carefully for a long time, the Saint Emperor in silence finally spoke: "Okay, since Lucius you are not afraid and are ready to go to war with the Immortal Buddha Kingdom, then the widow has nothing to fear." ”

As he spoke, he said to the Holy Queen: "You select some elites from the army under our command and allocate them to Lucius, and let those soldiers of the Tang Dynasty go to Tianjiang with Lucius to defeat those demon clans in the south, and completely disintegrate the plans of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom to subvert my Datang." ”

Without waiting for the Holy Empress to agree, Lucius had already spoken first: "Your Majesty, there is no need, I have already discussed with my master in advance, this time to deal with the demon clan, I will lead my people to go alone, you and the people in the master's hands will stay, and we also need to guard against the northern demon clan."
