Phantom, the prisoner, has been detained by Zhao Zian during this period. Cangyun Sect approached the royal family several times in private, wanting to transfer Phantom to Cangyun Sect. The royal family also felt that it would be better to hand Phantom over to Cangyun Sect, but Zhao Zian did not
Didn't hand over the phantom
.
Zhao Zian said that Phantom was captured by him on the battlefield and he had the right to deal with it.
Because Zhao Zian performed well in the Wasteland War and the Eagle Beak Cliff War, the royal family and the Cangyun Sect did not force him too much. They just asked for an alliance in the human world, so Zhao Zian brought the phantom princess to Cangyun.
In fact, no matter who is in the hands of Phantom, there will be no fear of life. Her father is Emperor Yan, and she, like Xiao Qi, is a big financial backer. If she is killed, not only will she suffer bloody revenge from Emperor Yan
, and you will also lose an important bargaining chip with Emperor Yan. Only a fool will kill or injure you quickly.
phantom.
Phantom followed Zhao Zian during this period and saw more things, and his mood began to change slightly.
In the hearts of the people in the heavenly world, they are born to be superior, while humans in the human world are born to be as humble as ants and vulnerable to a single blow.
Every catastrophe is used as a weapon of public opinion by those in power in the heavenly realm, praising heavenly beings and belittling mortals.
Mind control is very terrifying. Regarding the catastrophe, every citizen in the heaven believes that the power of the heaven is powerful enough to sweep away the besieged ants in the human world.
Phantom thought the same way before and just before the lower realm.
Phantom stubbornly believed that the fiasco in the Wasteland War and Eagle Beak Cliff was caused by Gu Yuqi's improper command.
In the past two months, she followed Zhao Zian and saw many things that were not recorded in the reports.
She saw with her own eyes that the human warriors stationed near Yingzui Cliff looked at death as if they were home, saw the common hatred of all races in the human world towards the heavens, and saw the preparations made by the human world to win this war...
For the first time, her faith was shaken.
Can Heaven really win this war?
Even if we win, it will probably take many years. How big will the loss to Heaven be?
The war songs that sounded inside and outside Cangyun Mountain made the phantom throb.
The strong fighting spirit shown by those ants in her eyes shocked her.
She thought that this kind of fighting spirit could only appear in the warriors of heaven, but she really felt that human ants also had this kind of unyielding fighting spirit.
She couldn't figure it out. What she had heard growing up about how weak and selfish human beings were, were they really true?
The war songs continue, just like the heroic souls of the war dead continue.
All the human warriors passing behind him were singing war songs. Climbing to the mountainside had already made these people very tired, but the war songs seemed to inject new strength into these tired people.
Phantom knows that this is a kind of faith. As long as this faith is not destroyed, the world will not surrender or lay down its weapons.
When the phantom was sighing, he suddenly saw a short, fat old man wearing gray-brown Gebu clothes, carrying a bamboo pole and curtain, staring at him with a strange look.
Phantom was angry and said: "What are you looking at? I'm not serious. If I look at it again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!"
The short and fat old man chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, girl. I make a living by looking at people's faces. When I saw the girl's outstanding face and bones, I was surprised. I guess she is not an ordinary girl, so I couldn't help but look at her a few times. Don't be surprised, don't be surprised."
Phantom's anger subsided a little when he heard the short, fat old man praising him.
She said calmly: "I have heard about physiognomy, and there are some physiognomy techniques in our place, but I never believe in them."
The short and fat old man said seriously: "Girl, you can not believe some things, you can believe some things, but you can't believe them all, and there are some things you must not believe."
Phantom said: "Oh, what kind of physiognomy does yours belong to?"
The short, fat old man glanced at the phantom's right wrist as if nothing had happened. There was a string of gray-white Buddhist beads on his wrist.
He smiled slightly and said: "No matter what I say, it's just lies. Why don't you let me cut off your face and criticize your destiny?"
Phantom glanced at Zhao Zian, who was stuck on the edge of the cliff like a javelin, and felt that with the urine of this silver-robed young man, he probably wouldn't continue on his way within a stick of incense.
No matter, it's boring anyway, just listen to what this bluffing old man has to say.
She said: "Okay, then show me."
The short and fat old man said: "I don't know what to count?"
Phantom thought for a while and said: "Fate."
The short and fat old man sat on the stone steps, took out some deceitful living tools such as tortoise-shell copper coins from the bamboo curtain, poured the copper coins into the tortoise shell, and then began to shake his head and mutter something.
Phantom said: "Should you ask my birth date?"
The short and fat old man was startled, his face turned red, and he said: "I have already seen the way of heaven. It doesn't matter whether you need your birth date or not."
Phantom showed a mocking sneer. Although her cultivation level was not too high, she was the daughter of Emperor Yan after all. She had commanded the army for many years. She could tell at a glance whether she was a liar or not. If Zhao Zian hadn't been disturbed by the war song
, in memory of Pao Ze who died in battle, he would not be with a Jiang
The old liar is wasting his time.
The pudgy old man shook the tortoise shell for a while, and then poured the copper coins in the tortoise shell in front of him. He arranged the coins casually, counted them on his fingers, closed his eyes, and muttered in his mouth. When Phantom came closer to listen, he was immediately happy.
Because what the old man muttered was not a profound incantation at all, but he was muttering, "All the gold and silver belong to me. I want to buy two rivers, one for bathing and one for bathing."
Come and soak your feet. If you ask where the gold and silver come from? If you can cheat one, you will be the one. The sky is full of spirits and the earth is full of spirits. The Jade Emperor will appear soon. May I make money and live long. May I be disease-free in my life..."
Fortunately, Phantom stretched his head and listened attentively, otherwise he would have thought that the old man was muttering some profound incantation.
The short, fat old man shook his head for a long time. When he opened his eyes, he saw the phantom looking at him with an expression that was half-smiling, and he felt a little flustered.
Phantom said: "How is it? How is my life?"
The short and fat old man pretended to be a Taoist and immortal man, and said calmly: "I have sacrificed my three hundred years of life, and finally got a glimpse of the secret of heaven, but the secret of heaven must not be leaked. If I leak the secret of heaven, I will definitely
You are condemned by God."
Then, he began to rub his fingers gently.
It was obvious that this old man was not only a liar, but also a money man. He had obviously asked Phantom to pay. Seeing that Phantom did not express any reaction, the short and fat old man seemed to have made some important decision and said, "Well, today you meet me.
Great Immortal, it means that you are destined to this Great Immortal. You only have a life span of three hundred years. If you lose it, it will be lost. But girl, can you give me a few hundred taels of silver so that I can buy a thin-skinned coffin when my life span is over?"
