The big insect finally rushed back to the capital after running for a day, carrying Liu Shang on his back. During this period of following the Tianshi, its body became much stronger and its strength also increased a lot, as if it was invincible.
Complete power.
"Did you see it? Chang'an, where is Chang'an? Hahahaha, I'm back again." Liu Shang looked forward and said to himself.
His speed was beyond what Mo Daoqi and his bodyguards could chase, and they had already been chased away without a trace.
"Big insect, enter the city."
The big insect held its head high and suddenly let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests. The sound spread into Chang'an and into the imperial city. Everyone knew that the Celestial Master was back.
After a long absence of relaxation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Heavenly Master is back."
The people spontaneously went to the city gate to welcome the Celestial Master back to the capital. To say where the people had the most faith in the Celestial Master, it was the people of Chang'an. Even though the Celestial Master's time in Chang'an was short, but with the people, that was
They were all working together, without any pretense, and had helped many people. So when they heard the news, they came spontaneously, and there was a joy in their hearts that came from the depths of their souls.
"We sincerely welcome the Heavenly Master back to the capital."
Everyone knew that the roar of a tiger was the mount of the Heavenly Master, a tiger that was as strong as a bull and was picked up halfway. It could speak to people and was extremely miraculous.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, I want to kill you. Is everyone okay?"
As soon as Liu Shang opened his mouth, he ruined the solemn and solemn scene, but it was a little more humane, and the Heavenly Master was still so down-to-earth.
"Fortunately, I just miss you, old man."
"Yes, yes, I have a pillar of fragrance every day, without interruption, and I have not forgotten the teachings of the Heavenly Master."
"When will the Heavenly Master teach about the Great Way?"
Surrounded by the people, Liu Shang entered Chang'an like this. The people in Chang'an were more lovely, and there was no sense of distance at all. It made him feel like he was going home. It felt really good.
"Asshole, I am only seventeen years old today and only eighteen during the Chinese New Year. When you call me an old man, do you mean that I am old? This is simply unreasonable."
The common people who said they missed you were not afraid of the Heavenly Master's anger at all. Instead, they said with a playful smile, "Damn it, damn it, I said the wrong thing, I slapped you, slapped you."
How could Liu Shang be really angry? It's just that this guy is very sensitive.
He groaned and said, "You still have a conscience, but I don't have time now. It's more important to go into the palace to save people first, then go and do whatever you have to do."
The common people got out of the way with smiles, and the Celestial Master returned to the capital. The oppressive haze over Chang'an seemed to have naturally dissipated, and it returned to the past. It seemed that as long as the Celestial Master was here, they could feel at ease.
Imperial City.
"The Heavenly Master is back, but Jiu'er has already gone. You are late." Li Sheng said to himself.
Don’t dare to be negligent in recruiting a great eunuch, so I reminded His Majesty, “Your Majesty, this old slave is going to welcome the Heavenly Master into the palace.”
Li Sheng nodded and said, "Go ahead."
The huge mount Liu Shang sat on shocked the guards outside the imperial city. After all, how could such a ferocious beast be allowed to walk in the inner palace in the imperial city? There was no precedent before. They were wondering whether they should step forward now.
stop.
The great eunuch had already rushed from the palace and shouted from afar: "Tianshi, Tianshi, your old man is back. Hurry, follow the old slave into the palace. Your Majesty is already looking forward to it. Let the old slave come to greet the Tianshi in person.
Entering the palace."
There is indeed no other person with this kind of treatment, but Liu Shang didn't care at all. He just looked at the eunuch Zhao curiously. Seeing his gloomy face and the bleak atmosphere above the imperial city, he couldn't help but ask: "Who is Xiao Jiu?"
Nothing happened."
As soon as Liu Shang looked at him, he asked about the Ninth Prince. The great eunuch sighed in his heart, Oh, Heavenly Master, if you had come back earlier and burned the incense, it would be too late. The Ninth Prince has already passed away.
Seeing him asking, the eldest eunuch naturally did not dare to hide anything. With a painful look on his face, he raised his sleeves and wiped away the non-existent tears before saying: "I don't dare to hide it. Just now, the Ninth Prince, he, he... he he
Died."
The surrounding guards knelt down one after another. The eunuch said personally that the prince passed away, which was equivalent to His Majesty's decree. No matter what the reason, they must kneel down to show their condolences and honor to the prince.
Liu Shang stared with big eyes, what?
Just now, Xiaojiu had already gone. Is he still late?
This is wrong. According to his calculation, Xiao Jiu possesses the Dragon Qi of the Emperor's Way and has long-term blessings. How could a small accident take away his life?
His face immediately darkened. Could it be that this was not an accident, but a conspiracy?
It's not impossible, Liu Shang asked in a cold voice: "What exactly happened? Tell me slowly, don't miss a word."
The big insect carried him towards the palace, not walking very fast. Seeing that it was magical and obedient, the great eunuch felt relieved and approached the Heavenly Master to explain.
The eunuch Zhao did not expect that the Heavenly Master would suddenly become angry. He shuddered and said, "This is what happened, just two days ago..."
Liu Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the eunuch's narration, and his face returned to normal. Fortunately, no one was targeting Xiaojiu. It was just an accident. However, this accident made him feel even more incredible.
.
Looking at Xiao Jiu's face, he didn't look like someone who died young. Moreover, he had the imperial dragon energy added to him. Even the dragon energy couldn't protect him, which made this accident more variable. Liu Shang was calm on the face, but in his heart
Overwhelmed, he had a guess, but he didn't want to think where to go.
Jinsheng, who is between his eyebrows, spoke calmly and conveyed the message: "Whether you are willing to admit it or not, the fact is what you think. A child with the emperor's dragon energy is destined to have a long blessing, how could it be lost in an accident?"
As for life, besides it, what else can create this unexpected variable?"
Liu Shang opened his Dharma Eyes and looked up into the boundless depths of the void. Wherever the sea of Haotian's vitality was tumbling and turning in an orderly manner, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the slightest difference.
"The Taoist sect has spent thousands of generations to sacrifice and forcibly give it the personality of heaven. Are you going to backfire on my Taoist sect now?" Liu Shang withdrew his magical eyes, lowered his head and said to himself in his heart.
He never thought that there would be such a day. This heavenly way was incompatible with the heavenly way he knew in his previous life. The heaven and earth were unkind. It regarded all things as stupid dogs. All things were never in its eyes. How could it be so narrow-minded?
But rejecting it twice gave rise to great terror. They wanted to kill him, but when they failed, they attacked the people around him, with such despicable methods. Is this really a selfless rule of order, or is it really just a living creature?
This life seems to know something, but if it doesn't tell it, Liu Shang can't force it.
"With your current way of doing things, it will not be good for you to know this too early. Believe me, it is not the time to tell you all this yet. When you reach the realm of cultivation, you will understand it yourself. It is better to save people first with peace of mind.
." At this point, it paused for a moment, perhaps to let Liu Shang absorb and digest it.
Only then did you speak again, but this time, in a joking and inquiring tone, he joked: "This is just a test for you. If you obey and accept your fate, then you give up saving the child, and it will accept you again."
, if you resist it, the demonic calamity will only become more and more severe. This is its method of arbitrarily manipulating the fate of all living beings in the world. How do you choose?" After Jinsheng finished speaking, his voice was completely silent and he entered a deep mood.
Repair status.
Since the Taoist sect was recorded, it has never been a so-called obedience to heaven and destiny. Every monk who follows the divine way or the immortal way is seeking transcendence. My destiny is not up to me but to heaven. I am the only one in heaven and earth. It is not difficult to see from these two sentences.
It turns out that they have discovered the nature of living beings and are seeking their own lives.
Liu Shang silently sat on the big insect's back, thinking about this life, yes, how should he choose?
The more he understands the nature of Taoism, the more he understands the difficulty of this road. This small warning temptation has made him see its horror. If he obeys it, he can prove the Tao in one step and become a being under the way of heaven.
, in this world you can take whatever you want.
If you continue to unswervingly follow the path you have chosen, become a saint and become an ancestor, use this world as the foundation of the Tao, prove the Tao and become an immortal, and be transcendent, with this kind of thinking, you may have to face endless disasters.
, it will not allow such a being to survive.
How to choose.
Liu Shang entered the maze. The eunuch Zhao next to him was saying something, but he no longer had the intention to listen.
Until a sad cry came from afar, it turned out that they had already arrived outside Huaqing Palace.
"Heng'er, don't scare me, wake up, wake up." Concubine Zhou woke up.
"Yong'er, my father hasn't seen you for the last time." This is Di Hanchen, the God of War, who has come back to his senses.
Liu Shang looked at the vast expanse of white in front of him and couldn't tell whether it was snow or fluttering sails.
"Xiao Jiu." He said to himself.
As if flashing before his eyes, the little guy was running happily towards him with his short legs.
"Tianshi, I want to fly, Xiaojiu wants to fly, you take me to fly."
"Xiaojiu is here to see you, hug me."
"Master Tian, your clothes are so strange. What's on them?"
When he thought of these, Liu Shang's eyes gradually recovered, and the confusion was lifted. The Xiao Jiu who should have been playing happily in front of him, the Xiao Jiu who should have grown up in peace and joy, should not have died like this.
Take everything.
"You want to take away his life to force me to obey you, but I won't let you do it. I want him to live, who dares to let him die!"
Liu Shang suddenly said these words, which shocked everyone present. It was as if he was announcing that what was going on with the Heavenly Master, it seemed that he had changed into a different person.
Li Sheng looked at Liu Shang in shock. It seemed as if a picture appeared in front of his eyes. In that picture, Liu Shang turned into a man standing tall, looking down at the heaven and the earth. Is this an illusion?
Then, the heaven and earth suddenly surged with wind and clouds, the cold wind howled, and the heaven and earth regenerated into strange phenomena. Only this time, everyone clearly felt an indescribable anger and the breath of destruction. That was the will of heaven and earth. Liu Shang
The announcement completely offended it.
It wants to destroy Liu Shang at any cost.
But how could Liu Shang let him get his wish? With a thought in his mind, the distraction master of the underworld stepped from the underworld into the real world in an instant, blocking the way of heaven from obliterating him. Seeing that the way of heaven could not succeed, the world returned to peace.
When he was distracted and saw the will of heaven and earth retreating, he spoke coldly.
"I am the ruler of the underworld, Li Heng, and Di Yong's life should not be cut off. I am allowed to return to the yang and be reborn."
