Chapter 16 The Dream of the Phoenix
The power outage was in the morning, and the errors in the previous chapter were revised, so I postponed it for a while. I have signed this book and my character is also very good, so I will not be able to update the eunuchs or interrupt them. Please rest assured to support and promote it. Thank you.
Also, please rest assured that this book will never fall into clichés. The development of the plot will be beyond everyone's expectations and exciting.
You can think about the Sun Yao’s Reincarnation and the Tianjian Song, the plot development in it, and various turning points.
———————
After going thousands of miles, in Chang'an City of the Great Zhou Empire, Emperor Zhao Feifan stood on the observatory with his hands, looking at the high priest not far away.
Zhao Feifan is fifty-three years old this year. His hands are slender and his face is as white as jade. He looks like a white-faced scholar, but no one dares to underestimate him.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for three hundred years, and now it has accumulated a lot of problems. However, after Emperor Zhao Feifan came to power, he suppressed major families and calmed down public grievances by relying on powerful means. The Great Zhou Dynasty gradually became a revival.
The star-observatory is a hundred feet tall, and standing on it, it seems like you can pick stars with your hands.
Standing in front of the emperor was the high priest of the Imperial College.
He is 160 years old this year, and his cultivation is unpredictable. He is especially good at astrology and divination.
"Have you found out the reason for the Phoenix Dream three years ago?"
Three years ago, half of the people on Zhongzhou mainland had the same dream.
There were firebirds burning the sky and land in China sinking. This dream caused unprecedented chaos.
Some people used this evil saying to deceive the public, and some even accused the emperor of being unjust and attempting to rebel. Although they were eventually calmed down, Emperor Zhao did not take it lightly.
There is an alien race in the east of the empire, who is the descendant of humans and immortal birds. The firebird in the dream is very similar to the immortal birds. (This is certainly not the case about the relationship between immortal birds and phoenixes, but it is enough to be a novelist.)
But that's not.
That is the final form of a phoenix, the immortal bird, born in five hundred years and die in five hundred years.
The Nine Death God of Death in the Immortal Bird clan has a different form at each level. If someone can practice to the ninth level, he is said to be able to become an Immortal Phoenix.
But when the Zhou Emperor's special envoy arrived at the Immortal Bird Clan, they found that they were also extremely confused.
Since ancient times, no Immortal Bird tribe has been able to reach the ninth level, and in the past century, there has not even been a sixth level.
In any case, we need to find out the root of the Phoenix Rebellion. It is not because of the phoenix in the dream, but because of the power in it.
The emperor is in charge of the world and has his own luck, and no gods and ghosts can get close to each other. The high priest's cultivation is unfathomable.
There are some immortal monks and masters of martial arts in this world, but who can enter the dream of so many people?
If you are born with strange phenomena, there will be unexpected results.
He entrusted the high priest to inquire about the matter, but it was not until today that he had a clue.
"Your Majesty, I have only recently found out the reason for this matter. It should be related to the Shen family in the Twelve Pillar Kingdom. The head of the Shen family Shen family was dominating the world and never lost, but none of his descendants could practice martial arts. It is said that he used the Shen family's immortal bloodline to seal the demon from the sky."
=================
With the engraved copy of the Legend of the White Snake in his arms, Shen Yue returned home happily.
Under the pressure of the Xie family, Guo Chengshou's family never made trouble for Shen Yue. After the White Snake Legend was published, he became famous and could leave Haizhou City, with a vast sea and a vast sky, turning from a fish into a dragon.
Xu Manhua, thank you very much.
When he saw his father Chen Shentong, Chen asked to report to Chen Shentong, and sighed at the same time, he did not have the talent to practice martial arts, otherwise he would have more choices if both civil and military affairs were good.
"Actually, Yoer, you can't practice true qi, it's not your fault. I just happened to tell you the secret of the Shen family.
Do you still remember the Phoenix Dream three years ago? The source is the Shen family and you."
Chen Yue's figure was shocked. He remembered the dream of the phoenix very clearly, but he did not expect that all this was just because of his arrival?
=================
"Chen Wudi is not purely human bloodline, his mother is a woman from the Immortal Bird clan. However, he has always hidden this secret.
Three hundred years ago, the world was in chaos, and heroes rose up, fighting for hegemony in the world. The earth was full of killings. The resentment of countless creatures attracted demons from outside the sky.
Many people died at the hands of demons outside the sky. It was not until several holy places joined forces to kill demons outside the sky.
At this time, it was the peak of Chen Wudi. He was a local prince, and his power even threatened Taizu.
Until one day, he suddenly gave up his ambitions, defected to Taizu, and handed over the military power.
As a reward, after establishing the country, Chen Qianli was named King of Northern.
Taizu was curious about his bow, and finally realized that Chen Wudi's skills were constantly depleting. Before he died, he had become an ordinary person.
Before Shen Wudi died, he told Taizu the truth.
When the demon outside the sky was besieged, he did not die, but was seriously injured and escaped. He later discovered that he sealed it - the demon outside the sky was an immortal body. Chen Wudi used the secret technique of the Immortal Bird clan to seal it in a mysterious plane in the void.
But the demons outside the sky are too powerful, and Chen Wudi can only seal them for twenty years. Then, every twenty years, the Shen family's children need to seal them again with their lives.
This is why Chen Wudi became an ordinary person. After the demon outside the sky was sealed, he cursed.
In the future, the Shen family can only have one son who inherits blood, and no matter what power they practice, they will be absorbed by demons and cannot succeed."
"Did Taizu believe it?"
Emperor Zhou asked in a deep voice.
"It's not clear, maybe Chen Wudi made up lies to protect the Shen family, or it's true, but Taizu later waited for Chen Wudi to die, and for his incompetence, he cut off the throne of the Shen family and demoted him to the duke because of his incompetence."
"Aren't Taizu afraid that Shen Wudi's descendants would not seal the demons outside the sky?"
"According to Chen Wudi, when he and another person sealed the demon from outside the sky, the other party plotted against him and placed a ban on his bloodline. This ban would imply that the descendants of the Shen family would automatically choose to sacrifice when they were sealed.
Therefore, whether Chen Wudi was fabricating or other reasons, Taizu did not have to consider the wishes of the Shen family, because the Shen family chose to sacrifice themselves."
=================
"The ancestors chose to seal the demons outside the sky."
Chen Shentong's face was full of sorrow. The sorrow of the Shen family lies here. The trump card was seen through by the other party. What did the Shen family use to trade?
In this world where martial arts is the most respected, there is no power and destined to be abandoned.
What's more, the curse makes each generation of the Shen family have only one son!
If you cannot expand your bloodline and practice martial arts, no matter how high your title is, you will not get military merits and have the ability, you will be deposed.
Even if you have a large group of masters, you are all weak yourself, so it is hard to guarantee that others will not have any bad intentions.
During the sixth generation of the Shen family, the head of the family adopted many orphans, gave them the name Chen, and grew up with the seventh generation of the orphans. Among these orphans, a stunning and peerless genius, Chen Qianli!
He became a congenital master at the age of fifteen, advanced to the master at the age of twenty-six, and became a master of Jindan at the age of fifty-eight, and later made outstanding military achievements for the court!
With his outstanding military achievements, the Shen family regained their prestige and became king again.
"This is a good thing."
Chen Yue had heard of Chen Qianli's name. This person was nearly 200 years old and controlled the Shen family in the capital, making the Shen family prosperous.
"It's a good thing. The wife of the seventh generation head of the Shen family gave birth to two sons in succession!"
Chen Shentong said with a sneer, his smile full of shame.
Bloodlines destined that the Shen family could only have one son, but this generation of housewives of the Shen family actually gave birth to two!
Both children grew up healthily, and the head of the Shen family at that time never saw his wife again.
The couple was like passers-by, and Chen Qianli took the young child to raise. Both children later grew up, and when the head of the Shen family was thirty-seven years old, he sealed the demons outside the sky and died.
At this time, the youngest child had already married and had children, and the wives and concubines had three men and five women.
=================
"The housewife of the Shen family steals people?"
Emperor Zhou asked with his eyes narrowed?
"There is no evidence, and Chen Qianli took advantage of the situation at that time, and was generous and made the Chen family rise again, so he took control of the Shen family.
But if the sealing thing Chen Wudi said is true, then what the Lord said is the truth.
Since the head of the Shen family died, someone would need to inherit his position. Chen Qianli controlled the power of the Shen family at this time, and did not establish a chief, but let the young master become the head of the Shen family. The eldest son of the Shen family left the capital in anger and did not know where to end."
"Although this kind of thing is old, why don't I know?"
The Emperor Zhou was a little surprised. The Shen family held military power and occupied one side. The royal family had no hearing on this kind of information related to their privacy.
"Only a very small number of people knew about the Shen family's affairs, and it had been a hundred years. At that time, three dragons were fighting for the throne, and Chen Qianli made great contributions to the Li Zong's arrival. Therefore, Li Zong took the initiative to order the matter to block the matter and destroy a large number of files. For a hundred years, it has been enough to bury all the secrets."
"So, do you know the whereabouts of the Shen family lineage now?"
"I have sent someone to investigate, and there should be a whereabouts soon."
