Looking at the interweaving rain outside the window, there is still a strange cyclone appearing and disappearing above the black tower ten meters away.
The queen did not respond, but looked out the window looking a little sad.
"Mother, I have already said that although the person inside has the potential to recover, it will take a long, long time to truly recover. It may be ten years, decades, or hundreds of years. You don't have to worry.
.”
"Do you think this is what I'm worried about?"
"Then why does the empress worry so much about the Black Tower all day long?"
"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade. There is something in this palace that everyone in the world dreams of."
Hou Jun wanted to ask what is the thing that everyone in the world dreams of, but he felt that he was pushing the envelope a little bit. It is a great honor to be able to stay by your empress' side now. Now that you have gained her trust, you should not be arrogant.
, ask questions you shouldn’t ask.
The thoughts in his mind were like lightning, and Hou Jun resisted the thought of asking further questions.
But the Queen didn't seem to have any hidden intentions, and took the initiative to say: "This thing that everyone in the world dreams of... is closely related to the country of Dahua, and you have the strength of a master, so I guess you are no stranger to the Book of Heaven."
"The Book of Heaven..." Hou Jun was slightly stunned. He had naturally heard the legend of the Book of Heaven. And the classics passed down from generation to generation in his Hou family also evolved from a certain volume of the Book of Heaven. Therefore, since the founding of Dahua, his family has
There are masters and masters who have been in charge for generations, so this can ensure the Hou family's status in the military and ensure the family's longevity.
However, very few legends about the Book of Heaven have reached Hou Jun’s ears. He only knew that the Hou family followed Emperor Taizu in their ancestors and were one of the most trusted 100 generals around Emperor Taizu.
And these generals who had followed Emperor Taizu had more or less practiced what was recorded in the Heavenly Book, so each of them was very powerful and had made great contributions to the establishment of Dahua.
But after the establishment of Dahua, for unknown reasons, the founding achievements of the country disappeared one by one. Except for the Hou family who were still serving in the current dynasty, no other people could be found.
"The Book of Heaven has a total of eight volumes. Now it has been scattered all over the world without a trace. It is even less clear how many martial arts techniques have evolved from the contents of the Book of Heaven, so that today's Central Plains martial arts world exists.
A hundred schools of thought contend. However, no matter how people in the martial arts practice nowadays, no one will reach the strength of Emperor Taizu back then. Because among the eight volumes of the Heavenly Book, the most important outline of the Heavenly Book is still in the palace."
"The general outline of the Heavenly Book!" Hou Jun's scalp felt numb. These four words were far more impactful than the two words "The Heavenly Book"!
No matter how little information Hou Jun knows about the Heavenly Book, he will not fail to understand the importance of the general outline of the Heavenly Book.
It has long been spread in the world that the general outline of the Heavenly Book is the key to connecting the other seven Heavenly Books. It is the only key for the master to reach the limit of human beings and open the door to heaven.
This is also an important reason why although there are many masters in martial arts today, no one can reach the level of Emperor Taizu back then.
Nowadays, many people who are masters feel that they have reached peace, and among the warriors who have reached the realm of masters, who doesn't want to go one step further and see what kind of world is above the Dao of Heaven?
"The general outline of the Heavenly Book is still in the palace..." Hou Jun swallowed instinctively when he heard the news, "Your Majesty... this... is this true?"
The Queen frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and lightly slapped Hou Jun on the back of his hand, and said softly: "Be gentle..."
Because he heard the words "General Outline of the Heavenly Book", Hou Jun's fingers that were pressing the Queen's neck and shoulders uncontrollably increased their strength by three points. When he heard the Queen's scolding, Hou Jun trembled and was frightened.
Sweating coldly, he quickly knelt on the ground.
"I deserve to die, please forgive me."
"I have told you many times. Since I keep you by my side, I do not treat you as an outsider. You don't have to be so careful, and you don't have to kneel down and admit your mistakes every time. You know, there are also people around me
There is no one you can trust, General Hou, don’t let me down."
Hou Jun lowered his head and whispered: "Don't worry, Madam. I and the Hou family will do their best to protect Madam."
"It's okay. You can get up. I still trust you very much. As for the Hou family... then..."
Hou Jun was silent, not knowing how to answer.
The queen did not continue to dwell on this topic, and asked calmly: "The master of the world will risk his life for the general outline of the heavenly book. General Hou, now you also know that the general outline of the heavenly book is in the palace, will you betray him because of the general outline of the heavenly book?"
Where is this palace?"
When Hou Jun heard this, he hurriedly knelt down again, but the Queen interrupted: "What did I just say? Did you forget it so quickly?"
Only then did Hou Jun stop his kneeling posture and said seriously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I only care for Your Majesty. Nothing else can change my loyalty to Your Majesty."
The queen nodded with satisfaction, looked at the heavy rain outside the window again, and said quietly: "Who doesn't want to get the general outline of the heavenly book? Even a weak woman like me also wants to get the general outline of the heavenly book."
"The Empress said that the general outline is in the palace, so what is there in the palace that does not belong to the Empress?"
"Although I know that the general outline of the Heavenly Book is within the palace, I don't know where the general outline of the Heavenly Book is hidden. I have searched all the places in the palace, but still found nothing."
"Then why is the empress so sure that the general plan is within the palace?"
"Because before the grandmaster battle in Xiantao Mountain, I learned the news that the emperor secretly summoned three princes, intending to choose one of the three princes to pass on the general outline of the heavenly book. Although there were some accidents in the end, the emperor had not had time to teach it.
The General Outline of the Heavenly Book has become foolish, but since the emperor has the idea to pass the General Outline of the Heavenly Book to one person, it proves that the General Outline of the Heavenly Book does exist. Moreover, records can be found in the palace books to prove that Emperor Taizu was worried about the eight chapters of the Heavenly Book.
The scrolls were acquired by people outside the royal family, so the eight volumes of the Heavenly Book were scattered and hidden. Only the general outline of the Heavenly Book was left in the palace. Multiple sources have proved that this matter should be true."
After hearing this, Hou Jun did not answer immediately. He was thoughtful and didn't know what he was thinking about.
After a while, Hou Jun asked: "Since the empress is sure that the general outline of the Heavenly Book is in the palace, there must be some places missing."
The queen shook her head and looked very serious: "There will be no omissions. I have searched all the places in the palace and there is no omission. If there is a place that must be omitted, it would be..."
As she spoke, the queen pointed out the window and pointed at the subtle cyclone on the black tower.
Hou Jun was a little confused and didn't say anything.
The Queen said solemnly: "The only person who has not been found, that is, the people in the Black Tower, could he be in his body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Jun's face changed drastically and he shouted: "Who is it?!"
