Baidi City is covered with snow, and a large amount of food, clothing, etc. are being transported into the capital outside the city. The people in the capital are not allowed to starve or freeze to death. This is the imperial edict issued by the emperor long ago, so hundreds of people headed by Wenhou
The first priority of the official is to ensure that everything in the imperial capital is normal. The state capitals and counties can starve people to death, but Baidi City cannot.
In one more day, it will already be the fourth coldest winter in the world.
Looking north upstairs.
The purple-clothed counselor went upstairs holding a letter from Feiyu, and respectfully delivered the letter to Marquis Wen.
Marquis Wen was dressed in a white fur robe, looking rather frail and sickly, and asked: "Did it come from Tianchi in the Snowy Land?"
"yes."
Marquis Wen took a breath of cool air from the snow and immediately coughed violently. He unfolded the letter, glanced at it, and said, "It's from Chen Wanli. What do you think the old commander proposed?"
"What?"
The purple-robed counselor frowned.
"Edict to seal Lin Zhao."
"Oh?" The purple-clothed counselor was slightly shuddered: "Why are you granting Lin Zhao the imperial seal?"
"Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces."
Marquis Wen smiled slightly: "In this battle, Chen Wanli was only supervising the battle on the front line in the name of the palace commander, but he did not have the actual status of a marshal. He wanted to give up the commander-in-chief of the entire human race to a boy who was about to turn sixteen..."
The purple-clothed counselor frowned: "Is Mr. Chen too... too hasty?"
"not necessarily."
Wen Shuoyang narrowed his eyes, considered the letter carefully again, and said with a smile: "The old commander was extremely calm when he wrote this letter, which shows that his idea did not come suddenly. During the days of preparing for the war,
He should have seen that Lin Zhao really has the ability to command the three armies, so he submitted the petition to me."
"What do you think, Lord?"
The purple-clothed counselor said: "Is it really accurate? Can a sixteen-year-old boy bear the weight of the commander-in-chief of the human race?"
"maybe."
Wen Shuoyang said: "Chen Wanli believes in Lin Zhao, and I believe in Chen Wanli. Chen Laoshuai has only a public mind and no selfishness in his life. It can be said that he has devoted all his blood and ambition to the big business temple. I will accept his recommendation."
considerate."
"Your Majesty, have you considered it?"
"I've thought about it, it's OK."
Wen Shuoyang stood up and said: "The sooner Lin Zhao gets the power to command the three armies, the better. This will help him make real plans and prepare his own strategy. Come on, follow me into the palace. I want to petition His Majesty and draft an imperial edict immediately. By the way,
I took Yuan Rong's sword and rode quickly to the snowy Tianchi."
"Your Majesty..."
The counselor in purple frowned: "Do you really want to bet the whole world on a sixteen-year-old boy?"
"Why not?"
Wen Shuoyang smiled and said: "What you think is a dead end is often the beginning of life."
…
evening.
In the death camp, Lin Zhao, Zhi Zhi, Luo Yang, Muzhen and others were eating a charcoal soup pot in the camp, but no one dared to drink. Since the garrison in Beishan, the entire army has issued a ban on alcohol, except for those who
No one except the monks dared to drink alcohol.
Just as he was about to finish eating, a messenger came in and said respectfully: "Lord Controller, there is news from Tianchiling that you are asked to go back to Qian Street after finishing your meal. Mr. Qin from the bookstore wants to see you."
"Oh, got it!"
Lin Zhao immediately put down his chopsticks, clapped his hands and said, "You guys have some more, I'll go back first."
"Um!"
On New Year's Eve, the young man galloped on horseback and arrived at Tianchi Town in the middle of the night. Then he opened the door of the book shop in the dusty weather, and saw Qin Suihan standing there, smiling and bowing to him.
Lin Zhao quickly returned the gift, tied the war horse in the yard, and said, "Mr. Qin, what do you want from me?"
"There are some things you should know."
Qin Suihan smiled and said: "Today, I want to take you on a journey back through the years to understand the ins and outs of things, and then ask you one more thing to see how you choose."
"oh……"
The young man was confused.
"Are you going to walk now?"
Qin Suihan stepped forward, raised his hand to hold the young man's shoulders, and pushed him forward gently. Suddenly, light flew in Lin Zhao's eyes. When he stood firm, he saw a vast and boundless sea in the middle of the sea.
, a towering ancient tree.
"This is?"
"world Tree."
Qin Suihan said: "The spiritual creature that unites the spirits of the entire world."
Lin Zhao opened his eyes wide. He could see at a glance that this world tree was composed of countless rules of all things. The power contained in it was far beyond his imagination, so after taking a look, he felt a strong sense of oppression in his heart.
.
At this moment, the World Tree has exhausted its spiritual energy and is constantly collapsing, with huge branches falling into the sea.
At the same time, golden figures flashed between the sky and the earth, constantly fighting for the broken branches of the World Tree. Some of the dharma were connected to the sky and the earth for tens of thousands of meters, and some of the dharma were submerged into the sea, only revealing a huge
In the midst of the struggle, the world tree turned into a mess in the blink of an eye. Only a tender golden branch remained on the charred and dead tree, which was firmly sealed by the roots.
…
Time flies, and another picture scroll unfolds in front of you. On the top of a mountain, there are people on both sides of the chessboard. One is Qin Suihan next to Lin Zhao, and the other is a guest in green shirt, who is the third senior brother. Legend has it that
The Soldier Saint in.
"The Battle of the Seas of the Heavens."
Qin Suihan dropped a son and said: "Almost all the sages of the three thousand worlds have participated in the war. The avenue of the world tree has been annihilated and collapsed. All the sages are scrambling to snatch it. Now there is only a broken branch of luck left. Should we do it for
Let’s fight for it in the lower realm?”
The green-shirted guest frowned: "In the eyes of the sages and sages in the sky, all living beings are nothing but ants. Almost all the masters think that the broken branches of the World Tree should be left in the upper realm. As for the lower realm, just eat some leftovers. What qualifications do you have?"
To usurp the last spiritual branch of the World Tree?"
Qin Suihan shook his head and smiled: "Do you think so too?"
"ha……"
The man in green shirt smiled slightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush with me."
"good."
Qin Suihan said: "You are the best at fighting. Go to the sea of the heavens and get the spiritual branch of the world from the hands of the masters in the sky. I will take this spiritual branch to the human world and protect it.
In ten years, leave that precious ray of luck in the world so that all sentient beings can have a chance to continue to live, what do you think?"
"Bringing the spiritual branch to the lower realm?"
The guest in green shirt smiled and said: "Old Qin, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you really take the spiritual branch to the lower world and leave that majestic destiny in the world, not only Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism,
There will probably be complaints from the Buddhists, and you, the Confucian sage, may not have to do it anymore."
"What does it matter whether you are a Confucian sage or not?"
Qin Suihan smiled softly: "After being a Confucian sage for so many years, I must do something for the world."
"knew."
The guest in green shirt stood up and said: "I will get that spiritual branch, but you have to agree to one condition."
"you say."
"After obtaining the spiritual branch, you must plant it on the Snowy Tianchi and leave part of your luck to the Holy Land of the Human Race. In addition, the dragon-slaying sword of our Dragon Language lineage will be buried on the Snowy Tianchi, waiting for someone who is destined to do so.
If you get it, it means that by chance, that person is my junior brother or junior sister, and I also ask Mr. Qin to protect the Tao for one or two."
"Can."
Qin Suihan nodded: "It's a deal!"
“It’s a deal!”
…
The next moment, another picture in the long river of time unfolds, it is the sea of heavens.
Above the sky, a man came down with a sword, directly collected the last spiritual branch of the World Tree, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, everyone, this belongs to me..."
"Ding Muchen!"
Someone shouted angrily: "Do you, the ancestral family of the military family, want to offend the public?"
"Asshole!"
A huge figure rose from the bottom of the sea and said: "With just one person and one sword, you, Ding Muchen, want to break into the sea of the heavens and steal this spiritual branch?"
"Why not?!"
In the air, the man in green shirt held the Fusu Sword in his hand, pointed the blade forward, and said: "If you masters want to take action, just do it. No matter how many masters and attacks today, I, Ding Muchen, will take care of it with one sword!"
In the scroll, there are flashes of swords and shadows.
In the end, the green-shirted guest was covered in bruises and vomited blood. He walked out of the sea of the heavens while protecting a spiritual branch. Behind him, there were countless corpses of gods floating on the sea!
(Note: So everyone should now understand why Ding Muchen in the extra chapter is so fierce.)
…
"ah……"
Lin Zhao looked at the fighting scene in the scroll, and his heart trembled violently. Is that the true strength of the third senior brother? Killing gods and saints from the sky, what a radiant light it is!
The next moment, the screen turned and turned into the sky above the snowy Tianchi.
A figure descended from the sky. It was Qin Suihan. His body was covered with golden Confucian and Taoist texts, protecting a twig in his arms. Behind him, in the air, there were sword lights, fist prints, and palm marks that shattered the void.
It fell from the sky and repeatedly hit Qin Suihan's back, but he accepted it all. On his body, strands of golden edict text began to collapse.
"Qin Suihan!"
Someone in the upper realm sneered and said: "You don't even need the seals of Confucian saints that have been sealed by heaven and earth, just to protect the lower realm? Is it necessary? You Confucians are really stupid in doing things!"
Qin Suihan landed in the newly built Tianchi Town, stepped on the stone bridge, looked into the sky, and said with a smile: "Only you are qualified to preach to me?"
"snort!"
Someone in the upper world laughed and said: "Qin Suihan, you have lost the title of heaven and earth. You are no longer a Confucian sage. You are a degraded talent and you really have no qualifications. I will leave this world tree spiritual branch here for the time being.
Just wait and see, when it grows up, we will naturally come and get it. The world of gods is not stable anymore, and you still think about the ants in the lower world, so just die with the ants!"
…
In the scroll, Qin Suihan glanced at the sky, stopped talking, and stepped into a dilapidated house holding the spirit branch of the World Tree. Not long after, a young general stepped into the small courtyard.
It was Chu Huaixi who cupped his fists and said: "Chu Huaixi, please see the Confucian Sage!"
"You're welcome, I'm no longer a Confucian sage."
Qin Suihan smiled slightly: "Chu Huaixi, make a deal?"
"Master Confucian Sage, please speak."
"What I hold in my arms is a spiritual branch of the world tree, which carries the majestic destiny between heaven and earth. I want to plant it on the snowy Tianchi, and open a bookstore here to keep it."
"Can."
Chu Huaixi immediately agreed: "However, what benefits can it bring to our Chen Dynasty?"
"The younger generation can pray to the spiritual branches and gain protection."
"It's a deal."
Chu Huaixi, who was much younger, had a smile and contentment on his face.
