Chapter 11 The Heart of the Old Ministers (Ask for Recommendation)
The carriages and horses are sparkling, and the horses are whistling.
There is smoke in the distance.
Away from the prosperity of the hinterland, even the mountains have become vicious.
The ancient road that had been built in the previous dynasty had stopped its seemingly endless spread as early as three days ago.
The bumps in the mountain road almost shattered Wen Yuanxiang's old bones.
The driver of the car was a mute man who knew some superficial spiritual practice.
There was no one else in the entourage other than this person.
Thinking about the beginning, hundreds of officials welcomed Yong'an City, and the Holy Son of Heaven on Qinglong Street came to greet him in person, what a scene... And how ironic?
"After all... Old?" Wen Yuanxiang not only used this, but also wanted to use this reason to prevaricate himself.
His consciousness was already a little confused.
Half a month ago, he was still the head of the hundred officials and the prime minister.
Just because he persuaded the Son of Heaven a few more words, he was belittled seven times in a row in one day, from the prime minister to the Jiupin border city officials.
In front of the Wanshou Palace, Wen Yuanxiang made a vow, which was the last wish.
But it was interpreted by people with a heart and became a ridicule of the Son of Heaven and a hidden evil word.
The Son of Heaven ordered him to set out immediately, and within a month he must rush to the southern border city of Shannan.
From Yong'an to Shannan, the road is not thousands of miles, the Son of Heaven does not give the spirit beast to run without permission, nor does he arrange the great monk to accompany the support, with the ability of Wen Yuanxiang, even if he rushes to the border city in the south of the mountain within a month, he is only afraid that his life has been lost on the road.
In a daze, Wen Yuanxiang seemed to have said a lot.
"The rest of my life in Changping for twenty-one years, in a peaceful and prosperous era, and in the house of clothes, living in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Jiangzhou, I am treated by heaven very kindly. Six out of ten, then take Xiushi, twenty have seven in Hanlin, and the year of the establishment of the ruling party, although the nightmare self-confessed no merit, but also tossed and turned two dynasties, called the old minister... ”
Wen Yuanxiang was confused, but Lin Xi could only look at his soul and couldn't speak.
Wen Yuanxiang is just an ordinary person who has never practiced.
But his soul is shining with light, and he has a firm belief and will.
Its strength and depth are almost comparable to those of a monk with a kedan.
Even after Lin Xi evolved, he might not dare to be presumptuous.
If it weren't for Wen Yuanxiang being tossed all the way, he would have been close to running out of oil, and Lin Xi's clone might not have been able to stay in his consciousness space for a long time.
"The bumpy years are not easy, trampling on the hearts of old ministers for no reason. Sadness replaced the tears of the road, and I wanted to see the night snow in the empty river. Wen Yuanxiang was lying in the bumpy carriage, his eyes blurred and distracted.
Lin Xi knew that this was an opportunity.
But he hesitated.
Wen Yuanxiang's soul is undoubtedly very tempting for him.
A strong-willed soul with perseverance and faith is far more delicious and replenishing than an ordinary soul. Compared to Wei Lingfeng's soul and Wen Yuanxiang's soul, there is no comparison at all.
For the Heavenly Devil, it is the most delicious food.
This is also the reason why many heavenly demons who have become climates often like to attack ascetics, enlightened masters, and people with the highest affection.
However, Lin Xi's peculiarity is that he swallows his soul, so he must repay his wish.
At this time, it is not difficult to imagine what Wen Yuanxiang's wish is.
If you wait a little longer, Wen Yuanxiang will naturally die, although the two souls of heaven and earth will return to heaven and earth.
Only the human soul left behind is easy to grasp, and if it is swallowed, it will be more or less beneficial.
Of course, compared to the intact soul, it is naturally more than one grade worse.
When Lin Xi hesitated, Wen Yuanxiang's consciousness was in a trance and woke up in the consciousness space.
He saw Lin Xi at a glance.
The phantom that is magnified by the spirit is like a dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun in the space of consciousness.
Wen Yuanxiang was not afraid, he just watched quietly.
From the inside out, the soul exudes an aura of arrogance and fearlessness.
Lin Xi knew that this kind of illusory intimidation was useless to Wen Yuanxiang.
The dark clouds converged, and in Wen Yuanxiang's consciousness space, he transformed into a human form.
That was what Lin Xi looked like in his previous life.
"Are you a demon?" Wen Yuanxiang looked at Lin Xi, and then asked calmly.
"I am a demon! a demon born of your heart. You are dissatisfied, but you are also resentful, you have dedicated all the wonders of life to the country you love. But in the end, everything you love has failed you. "Now that it has been discovered, Lin Xi is not hesitant.
Relieving the summoner is only a choice, not a necessity.
It's nothing more than that Lin Xi chooses to fulfill his last wish, and he can get a complete and immaculate soul.
But if the wish is not fulfilled, it can only be forcibly torn apart and taken away.
In this case, Lin Xi actually didn't have much of a burden.
The previous wandering was just a matter of gain and loss.
Facing Lin Xi's answer, Wen Yuanxiang shook his head firmly and said, "No!
"Although I have a lot of ambition that has not been accomplished, but in my heart... No hatred!"
"This country has failed you, the king has failed you, the ministers have failed you, and even the people have failed you, why don't you hate?" Although Lin Xi couldn't read Wen Yuanxiang's memory, he had been lurking for so long, and he was not ignorant of Wen Yuanxiang's experience and experience.
If you don't meet the deaf lord, you will only end up returning to your hometown, and you will not be tossed like this as if you were sent to death.
The reason for this is that it has been 600 years since the founding of the country.
There are many sects in China, the family is like a wolf and a tiger, a large number of land is annexed, and the resources are occupied by a small number of people.
Chaos has been born, many evil demons have taken the opportunity to cause chaos, resulting in the prosperity of the past is no longer there, although it is not so that the people of the world are not happy, but the contradictions are becoming increasingly fierce and the conflicts are becoming more and more obvious.
Wen Yuanxiang was worried about the past in the past, and when the period of filial piety expired, he was sent three edicts by the Son of Heaven in a row, called into Yong'an, worshiped the prime minister, and presided over the law change.
intends to save the decline of the country.
It's just that the power of the sect family is huge and deep-rooted.
Not long after the reform was launched, the Son of Heaven took the lead in surrendering, and Wen Yuanxiang was thrown out to quell the 'public anger'.
Wen Yuanxiang originally intended to petition for the common people in the world who have the most right to speak to change the law and fight for a way for them to live.
Today, under the guidance of public opinion, he was first spurned by the people of the world, and everyone regarded him as a mediocre official who brought disaster to the country and the people.
On the day when Wen Yuanxiang was embarrassed to degrade Yong'an, the people of the city cheered on the city wall, and the sound of firecrackers stretched for more than 30 miles.
"Have you ever loved it?"
"If you really love, you will never hate. Because you will not give up. Wen Yuanxiang said.
"But those fools and fools, aren't they hateful? They are short-sighted, and they only remember the small profits in front of them. For meat eaters, they don't know your good intentions. Lin Xi stimulated Wen Yuanxiang with words, wanting to cause his mood to fluctuate, and then with the talent of 'looking directly at weaknesses', he saw through the fragility of his heart.
Wen Yuanxiang shook his head and said: "The people of the market, it is not easy to survive, although it is closely related, but how can they be affected by national affairs? They are stupid, and I am also stupid?"
"What about your people, what about your relatives?"
"Have you ever wondered what will happen to them? You have become a victim of politics, and they will pay for your 'sins'. Sometimes, the hardest part is not how to die, but how to live. ”
"They will be burdened with undeserved stigma, like rats and ants, living in the shadow of harshness. Those you defend will do them the most harm. As he spoke, Lin Xi manipulated his spirit and evolved into an illusion.
Wen Yuanxiang's face showed a look of struggle and confusion.
Lin Xi undoubtedly stabbed the softness in his heart.
At this moment, the talent after the first evolution was activated.
It's a pity that getting weaknesses failed.
A low-level eye demon, the talent is not strong enough.
Of course, if there are enough negative emotions, Lin Xi can choose to burn negative emotions to strengthen his talent.
Increase the success rate of looking directly at weaknesses.
"I have no regrets about my family and country, only the word 'regret'. Wen Yuanxiang is ashamed of them in this life, but he has nothing to repay... Wen Yuanxiang said with a sigh on his face under Lin Xi's questioning.
Although Lin Xi did not spy on Wen Yuanxiang's heart, the real vulnerability.
But after all, it still made his mood ripple.
"Since you can't do it, why don't you leave it to me?" Lin Xi asked tentatively.
Wen Yuanxiang laughed: "If you are really the demon in my heart, then I can't let you out." If you are a foreign demon, then I will not be able to believe you. Although I, Wen Yuanxiang, fell into the field, my bones are still there, and I will never ask the demon for help. ”
"Sure enough... It didn't work out. Lin Xi was not surprised.
As for the assault... That's the next step.
And you need to wait until Wen Yuanxiang is extremely weak and his soul is unstable before he does it.
Now that it is attacking, Lin Xi has a greater possibility and will be counterattacked.
For the next period of time, Lin Xi kept chatting with Wen Yuanxiang.
The two were communicating in Wen Yuanxiang's consciousness space.
Often in the outside world, in just a moment's effort, the two of them have already had dozens of questions and answers in the space of consciousness.
Wen Yuanxiang is well-read and has rich experience.
Although it is not as good as Lin Xi, because he has the memory of his previous life, he has all kinds of whimsical ideas.
But the meticulousness of thinking and the firmness of belief are better than Lin Xiliang.
From Wen Yuanxiang's body, Lin Xi could learn a lot of things that he had ignored or lacked before.
Although it's a heavenly demon, but... It's also a lot to learn!
Gradually, even Lin Xi was a little hesitant to swallow Wen Yuanxiang's soul.
After all, although Lin Xi is a heavenly demon, he still has human nature.
The carriage ran wildly on the road for twenty-seven days, and finally arrived at the border city of Shannan before the end of the January period.
And Wen Yuanxiang was already in the toss along the way, and he only had one breath left.
The coachman opened the wooden door of the carriage, looked numbly at Wen Yuanxiang, who seemed to be about to say goodbye, and finally his eyes flickered, and he got up and bowed slightly to Wen Yuanxiang.
Although the mute does not speak, his heart is bright.
In the consciousness space, Wen Yuanxiang suddenly said to Lin Xi: "If... If you are really a demon, then please swallow me! I lend you my body, my fame, my connections, everything I have, if it's you... Maybe it's still possible!"
He seemed to have sensed that his limit was approaching, and he actually chose to compromise with Lin Xi and the Heavenly Demon.
This greatly surprised Lin Xi.
What about those who said that they would not compromise with the Heavenly Demons?
