Elder Shi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he said angrily: "That's nonsense! What does it have to do with me that the traitor has become like this?"
Hao Jian sneered: "When Shi Jieren was a boy, he killed several scumbags. What did you do to him? Knock him off the cliff with one palm! Fortunately, he was lucky and hung on a crooked tree.
Death. It was that time that made him think that you didn't love him at all, which extended to him thinking that there is no real love in this world. From that time on, he will take revenge on you and the world! Dare you say it, Shi Jie
Such changes in people have nothing to do with you?"
In fact, Elder Shi didn't know that he was at fault. It's just that he was used to being tough and tough-talking, and even now he still didn't want to admit it...
"According to what you say, Tang Yu should also hate me. After all, I treat him exactly the same as I used to worship the moon!"
Tang Yu on the side changed his face when he heard this, and he hurriedly prostrated and said: "My child doesn't know! My child knows that this is the love of his adoptive father for his child!"
Hao Jian glanced at Tang Yu and said calmly: "There are no two identical leaves in this world, and naturally there are no two identical people! Tang Yu and Shi Jieren have completely different temperaments, how can they use the same
Method education? The sages have long said that students should be taught in accordance with their aptitude. As a veteran of three dynasties, Elder Shi, have you not heard this sentence?"
Before Elder Shi could speak, Hao Jian continued: "What's more, did Shi Jieren really do something wrong in that matter? If you go by what you said, killing a few scum won't work, and you must rely on national law...
Then why are you still practicing martial arts? Punishing evil and promoting good, and acting chivalrously and righteously. Isn't this the goal of our generation in practicing martial arts?"
At this point, Hao Jian was already stern, "A man who was supposed to be a man of integrity, able to help the country, and have the world in mind was pushed to the point where he almost wanted to destroy the world just because of your prejudice. Elder Shi, don't you
Do you feel ashamed?"
Elder Shi finally fell silent...
Seeing that Elder Shi was no longer arrogant, Hao Jian's expression softened slightly and he said calmly: "There are many paranoid people like Shi Jie in this world. How come you, Elder Shi, are not paranoid? Becoming a Taoist and a Demon is all in a person's thoughts.
It’s just a matter of time…teaching without being good is what you are talking about!”
Shi Jieren is like this, so why not Wutian?
Neither Shenggu nor Zhao Ling'er knew that the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult had such a past, and they both fell into deep thought for a while.
"I... I was really wrong!" Elder Shi was silent for a long time, then looked up to the sky and sighed, "Actually, back then, I was so angry that I knocked him off the cliff by mistake. I felt guilty and regretted it for a long time... Goodbye Jie
When I was alive, I was very happy, but...the bad thing is that I have such a bad mouth, I can't say a soft word..."
"It's good to just admit your mistakes! Now, Shi Jieren can be regarded as my registered disciple, and he will be Ling'er's minister in the future. I hope you can put away your own tempers and prejudices. Ling'er, Shi Jieren committed a crime in the past
For his fault, let him spend the rest of his life dedicating himself to the people of Nanzhao to repay it, what do you think?"
Zhao Ling'er nodded without hesitation and said seriously: "Ling'er is willing!"
On the rooftop in the distance, Ah Jiang stood quietly with his hands folded on his chest.
A sincere smile gradually appeared on his face...
At this moment, a sword light came quickly from a distance.
The Jiujianxian lowered his sword light and came to the holy aunt.
He looked a little embarrassed, his clothes were in tatters and there were scars on his face.
The saint's eyes wandered for a moment, and she pretended to be reserved: "Jiujianxian, you...how did you end up like this?"
The Wine Sword Immortal smiled boldly and said: "It's just a small injury, it's okay! Well, I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess is looking for the Five Spirit Pearls, so I went to the Godswood Forest to find the Golden Winged Phoenix to get the Wind Spirit Pearls!"
He opened his palm, and a small bead lay quietly in his palm.
The Holy Girl looked at Ling'er, pursed her lips and said: "Your Highness Princess... This is the Jiu Sword Immortal of Shushan Immortal Sword Sect! He is also the former... friend of the Witch Empress. He once helped the Witch Empress a lot."
Zhao Ling'er took a close look at Jiujianxian and felt familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
Without any time to think about it, she bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Jiujianxian!"
Jiu Jianxian looked at Zhao Ling'er who looked a bit like Lin Qing'er, scratched his head, took a sip of wine, exhaled a long breath of wine, and finally said: "No need to thank you."
Zhao Ling'er looked at the four spirit beads in her hand, frowned and said, "We only need water spirit beads now, how can we find them?"
Hao Jian smiled and said: "Give it to me, I will find the last water spirit bead!"
Zhao Ling'er's eyebrows were curved, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Hao!"
Hao Jian smiled, took the four spirit beads, and instantly rushed into the sky...
…
Yuhang Town.
Hao Jian rushed back with all his strength and flew back from Nanzhao in just half an hour.
Looking at the city below, his heart moved, and four spiritual beads of wind, fire, thunder and earth appeared around him.
As he poured spiritual energy into the spirit beads, the four spirit beads gradually created an invisible and substantial ripple between each other, spreading out around him like water waves with him as the center...
"It's a bit like Dragon Ball Radar..." Hao Jian thought to himself, and then concentrated on sensing it.
Slowly, he felt a faint wave coming...
"Sure enough, I found it!"
Hao Jian was so happy that he followed the induction and arrived in front of a lake not far from the Fairy Sword Inn.
The next moment, a light blue bead slowly rose from the lake, it was the Water Spirit Bead!
The water spirit bead came to Hao Jian and occupied one side with the other four spirit beads, forming a pentagon.
The moment the five spirit beads were gathered together, Hao Jian felt an energy powerful enough to change the world. "It is indeed the five spirit beads created by the great goddess Nuwa. This power is really incredible..."
With emotion, Hao Jian put away the five spirit beads and flew towards Nanzhao again.
…
In the palace, everyone was waiting, and suddenly they saw Hao Jian's figure emerging. Five spiritual beads were floating around him, which was beautiful.
"Ling'er, the five spirit beads have been gathered!"
Zhao Ling'er cried with joy and rushed straight into Hao Jian's arms, "Thank you, Brother Hao!"
Hao Jian gently patted Zhao Ling'er's shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, everyone is watching."
"Hey, Tang Yu, do you think there is too much dust accumulated on the beams of this hall?" Elder Shi raised his head and looked at the top of the hall.
"Ah, my adoptive father is right, there is really a lot... so much dust..."
"Yueru, my wife..."
For a moment, everyone looked like they were not paying attention. Some were looking for ants on the ground, while others were looking at the dust on the beams...
Zhao Ling'er came out of Hao Jian's arms, and a blush spread from her pretty face to her fair swan neck...
Hao Jian shook his head and sighed inwardly: "My damn charm has nowhere to go..."
After a pause, he said: "Ling'er, prepare to pray for rain as soon as possible. Your people have been waiting for it for a long time."
Zhao Ling'er blushed and nodded, "Yeah."
…
"Father, Ling'er is here to see you." Zhao Ling'er came to the Witch King's bed and said softly.
The Witch King looked at his daughter who was close at hand, smiled weakly and said: "Ling'er, come and sit next to your father."
Zhao Ling'er followed the instructions and sat beside the couch, and said happily: "Father, Ling'er has recovered the Water Spirit Pearl, and can pray for rain for the people like her mother did back then!"
Hearing this, the Witch King sighed: "It's great! It's great! The people are finally saved... It's all my father's fault, it's all my father's fault... Ling'er, my father's time is running out, I just hope you can forgive me.
King... If this is the case, my father will be able to rest in peace."
Zhao Ling'er consoled him: "Father, Ling'er doesn't blame you, you will always be Ling'er's father."
The Witch King smiled weakly and said immediately: "Good boy, good boy... call Elder Shi here!"
After a while, Elder Shi strode in, "Greetings to His Majesty the Witch King! Your Majesty, your health is urgent..."
The Witch King said: "I understand my body. Elder Shi, you are a veteran of three dynasties, and you have watched me grow up! Today, I will pass the throne to Princess Ling'er. I hope that, elder, you can... continue to assist Ling'er.
!”
"Father..." Zhao Ling'er was startled and quickly knelt down and said: "Ling'er doesn't want the throne, as long as the father gets well..."
The Witch King waved his hands laboriously and smiled weakly: "Ling'er, from now on, you are the new queen of Nanzhao. You must save the Nanzhao Kingdom and thousands of people for your father!"
When Ling'er thought of the scene of thousands of miles of bare land outside, she couldn't help but nodded solemnly, "Ling'er remembers it!"
Seeing this, Elder Shi sighed and said loudly: "Shi Gonghu will obey the king's order and pay homage to Her Majesty the Queen!"
Ling'er quickly helped Elder Shi up and said, "Elder, please get up."
"Go, go to the altar and ask for rain for your people!" said the Witch King.
…
The next day, Ling'er changed her attire, put on a living cloak, held the Heavenly Snake Staff and the Spirit Pearl, and headed to Dali as the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom.
As soon as I reached the city gate, I heard a gentle voice.
"I, Shi Jieren, led the congregation to meet His Majesty!"
Ling'er came out of the sedan and saw Ajiang not far in front of him and a group of believers wearing the costumes of the Moon Worship Sect behind him.
Zhao Ling'er looked at Ajiang with complicated eyes and said calmly: "Master, please rise. What does this mean?"
Ajiang still said calmly: "Your Majesty, I know that your Majesty wants to go to Dali to pray for rain, so I came here to ask your Majesty to allow me to accompany you all the way."
"This..." Ling'er suddenly hesitated. Although she had put down her hatred with A Jiang, she still felt a little conflicted when she heard that A Jiang wanted to go to Dali with her.
Hao Jian said with a smile: "Let him follow and go to Nuwa Temple to apologize to the Witch Queen!"
Ling'er felt relieved and immediately said calmly: "Okay."
Countless people in the city saw this scene, and they all felt unbelievable...
Who in the entire Nanzhao does not know the hatred between the current queen and the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult?
But now, the two have...reconciled?
…
When Ling'er and his party came to Dali, the entire Bai Miao tribe was shocked...
Obviously, what happened in Nanzhao Kingdom has spread here. Even so, when Gai Luojiao saw Zhao Ling'er holding the Heavenly Snake Staff and wearing the cloak of the Holy Spirit standing side by side with the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, his face was still full of fear.
believe.
This is crazy!
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen!"
Outside Dali City, the chief of the Bai Miao tribe came to his senses and quickly led Gai Luojiao and other soldiers to salute him.
"Clan leader, please rise."
The chief of the Bai Miao tribe came to Ling'er, glanced at the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult, who was as gentle as jade, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, this is..."
Ling'er smiled and said: "Clan leader, don't worry, Ling'er is here to pray for rain and resolve the dispute between the two clans!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" The chief of the Bai Miao tribe was excited and thanked him again.
When they arrived at the temple, Ling'er stepped into the temple first and shouted happily: "Mother, the child is back."
Lin Qing'er's shadow appeared on the statue, and she said with a smile: "Ling'er, it seems that you are ready."
Zhao Ling'er said: "Mother, with everyone's help, Ling'er has recovered the water spirit pearl. Like mother, Ling'er can pray for rain for the people of Nanzhao."
Lin Qing'er's face was filled with relief, "Good Ling'er, good, good..."
Suddenly, her expression changed, she looked at the door of the temple, and said coldly: "Baiyue! Why are you here? Ling'er, come behind me quickly..."
Ajiang stood straight at the door and said gently: "Jie Ren pays homage to the Empress of the Witch! In the past, due to today's consequences, Jie Ren made a big mistake in the past, which led to the death of the Empress. Today, Jie Ren has come to apologize to the Empress...
"
Lin Qing'er was stunned and looked at A Jiang suspiciously, "What are you trying to do again? I tell you, I will never let you hurt Ling'er even if I die!"
A Jiang slowly prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully, "Jie Ren does not ask for forgiveness from the Queen, but I ask for the Queen's belief that in the future I will do my best to assist Her Majesty the Queen and benefit the people of Nanzhao."
Lin Qing'er said blankly: "What...what is this situation?"
Ling'er then briefly explained the grievances between the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult and Elder Shi, and finally said: "Mother, the leader and Elder Shi have resolved their knots under the persuasion of Brother Hao and have repented..."
Lin Qing'er did not trust the leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult as easily as Zhao Ling'er. She said in a deep voice: "Really? Do you dare to swear in the temple of Nuwa Empress?"
A Jiang stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "I swear to God that for the rest of my life, I will work together with Her Majesty the Queen to work hard for the welfare of thousands of people in Nanzhao. If I violate this oath, teach me
The sky is thundering, and I will die a good death. Madam, the Witch Queen, can you do that?"
Lin Qing'er nodded slightly, "Since you have sworn, the Ai family will believe you for the time being. It's getting late, Ling'er, go to the altar to pray for rain for the people. My mother is here to watch you..."
Zhao Ling'er nodded and walked out of the temple, turning back three times.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Ling'er slowly walked up to the altar holding the Heavenly Snake Staff and the Holy Spirit Beads and Five Spirit Beads.
As the five spirit beads formed a string in the sky, the originally clear sky became cloudy, with lightning and thunder.
When the first raindrop hit a person's face, the whole Nanzhao... boiled!
The sparse raindrops gradually turned into pouring rain, and the dry earth desperately absorbed water...
Covered by the spiritual energy of the Five Spiritual Pearls, a layer of faint green gradually appeared on the ground, and the vegetation began to sprout.
Then, it grew at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Countless Miao people were running in the rain, cheering and jumping for joy...
"It's raining... it's raining..."
Moisturized by the sweet rain, the entire Nanzhao finally regained its vitality.
…
"Your Majesty the Witch King, it's raining, it's raining... Your Majesty the Queen's prayer for rain has been successful!" In the palace, Elder Shi rushed in with a face full of joy.
The Witch King sat still, with a faint smile on his face, without any reaction to Elder Shi's words.
"Your Majesty the Witch King..." There was a bang in Elder Shi's mind, and he knelt down helplessly.
Outside the palace, Jiujianxian stood beside the holy aunt and said with a smile: "Your Highness...oh no, Your Majesty succeeded! The people of Nanzhao...are saved!"
Ming Yuanqing looked at the heavy rain. When he heard this, he couldn't help but throw himself into the arms of Jiujianxian...
The Jiujianxian's whole body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly raised his arms and hugged the holy aunt in his arms.
"Thank you..." Saint Aunt sobbed softly.
In the Nuwa Temple, Lin Qing'er listened to the sound of rain, with a peaceful smile on her face.
"Ling'er, you finally succeeded! Mother... you can rest assured..."
The sound became fainter and fainter until it was silent...
…
Three years later.
"Your Majesty, there is a person outside who claims to be your friend asking to see you."
Zhao Ling'er was startled when she heard this, and then she seemed to think of something, picked up her skirt and ran out.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be careful..." The maid's exclamation was left behind her.
Looking at the more mature Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, the smile on Zhao Ling'er's face faltered and she said: "Brother Xiaoyao, sister Yueru, where are brother Hao?"
Li Xiaoyao held a brocade box in his hand and came to Zhao Ling'er. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Master... Master flew away yesterday. Before leaving, he ordered Yueru and I to send back the Five Spiritual Pearls."
Zhao Ling'er took the brocade box and said, holding back her sourness: "Thank you...you guys."
Back in the palace, Zhao Ling'er opened the brocade box and saw five spiritual beads and a letter inside.
She hurriedly opened the letter and read it, tears streaming down her face...
…
Sixty years later.
Chang'an.
"Mr. Baiyue, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Jin Yuan would like to welcome you!"
Ah Jiang said gently: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Looking at the crowds of people around him, even he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Because these are not moon worshipers who respect him, but elites from various countries who came from all over the world to listen to his speech.
"Mr. Baiyue, as the most successful astronomer in the world, you have proven the theory of a round earth and a heliocentric theory. You have single-handedly swept the 'round sky and earth' into the rubbish heap. You have also discovered the law of 'universal gravitation'.
He became the founder of astronomy and physics in the world. At this moment, what do you think? Can you share it with us?"
Ajiang looked around, his gentle eyes gradually looking into the distant void, and his low and magnetic voice spread throughout the audience.
"I want to thank someone! At first, when I said the earth was round, not only did no one believe me, but they also scolded me for not knowing love and wanted to beat me or kill me...until he appeared and everything began to change!
Not only did he agree with my views, but he also encouraged me to continue my research and enlightened me on astronomy and physics..."
