The sky is already dusk, the moon is still as bright as ever, and I can fly across thousands of miles of rivers and rivers. Who is the hero in the world?
It has to be me!
Under the two old trees, peach blossoms are in full bloom and pear blossoms are white. Xia Mang, dressed in a coarse blue shirt, stands with his hands behind his hands. He looks at the end of the West Sea in the distance, seeing the dusk mist in the sky and the vastness of the sky, and he suddenly feels a surge of pride in his chest.
Going to sea tomorrow, pointing the sword at the demon ruins!
"I'm finally leaving." Xia Mang said to himself, his eyes unusually bright.
"Your Highness, are you going to break your promise?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, "His Highness said last time that he would never leave Tianzi Palace in this life. How long has it been since then, and His Highness doesn't remember it?"
"It's not a broken promise." Xia Mang turned around, looked at Bai Jie and Ye Yao who were approaching, and said calmly: "Because to me, the whole world is the emperor's palace, and I can't leave wherever I go!"
When I am in the world, that world is the emperor's palace. When I am in the emperor's palace, the world is under the emperor's palace.
Both Bai Jie and Ye Yao's pupils shrank. They stared at Xia Mang for a long time before saying, "Your Highness, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Xia Mang stared at the two of them, suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said: "It's just a joke, why should you two take it seriously? I've been staying in the Emperor's palace, it's too boring, and I just want to do my best when I go to sea with them this time.
You can rest assured that I will definitely come back."
"Don't worry!"
The two of them snorted secretly. It looked like Xia Mang was deceiving them. If they let him go like this and never come back, then their sin would be huge.
"Now that the great demon is raging and causing trouble in the world, I have been the Emperor of Xia for seven days, and I want to do my part for this world."
Xia Mang suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Although Xianxian is far away in Kunlun, he should also be aware of the sufferings in the world. I went to sea with them to save people this time, mainly because I want to share Xianxian's worries."
The two of them looked at each other suspiciously, somewhat unable to figure out Xia Mang's thoughts.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Xia Mang looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Old Bai, Lao Ye, you won't stop me from saving people, right?"
The two fell silent. After a while, Bai Jie sighed: "This Tianzi Que is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with unique scenery. What's wrong with it? Why do you want to get involved in those things?"
"The world is in chaos with demons. What can you change by yourself?" Ye Yao also said, trying to persuade Xia Mang.
The two of them really didn't want Xia Mang to leave Tianzique. One was worried about his safety, and the other was worried about the future.
"I just want to do my best." Xia Mang said: "For the common people in this dire straits, for the seven-day Xia Emperor I once served, and for Xian Xian."
Bai Jie and Ye Yao had complicated expressions. They had watched Xia Mang grow up, from a clear and cheerful young man to a man with such a mysterious and deep mind. He had changed step by step. They didn't know what to say, they could only sigh.
"The most ruthless thing is time!" Ye Yao sighed, sighing that time is so ruthless.
"Wrong." Xia Mang suddenly said, the gentle color on his face faded, gradually became cold, and said calmly: "The most ruthless thing is not time, but the human heart!"
The most ruthless thing is the human heart!
Both of them were shocked, and their eyes immediately became sharp, like a sword from the sky, sharp and piercing into Xia Mang's bones, as if they wanted to see through the depths of his soul.
"In the past few days, I have read nearly a hundred volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and finally I have some insights." Xia Mang suddenly smiled and said: "I feel that the most ruthless thing is not time, nor necessarily the human heart, but... the demon
, the demon that slaughters the common people!”
The expressions of the two of them were still solemn. Now Xia Mang's thoughts were treacherous and unpredictable, which made them so unfamiliar. Facing Xia Mang like this, they didn't even know which of his words were true and which of them were false.
.
Can people really change so much overnight?
Xia Mang, who has encountered great changes, has changed too much and is completely different from the past, especially his thoughts, which are too strange and evil.
"When I leave this time, the little girl named Shituo Ling will continue to stay in the emperor's palace. I hope you two will take care of her and protect her." After a moment, Xia Mang suddenly said.
The two nodded silently, and then looked deeply at Xia Mang. Ye Yao sighed and said, "Come back alive!"
"You can do what you want to do by leaving your life behind." Bai Jie said with a hint: "Otherwise, it's all empty talk."
Xia Mang nodded calmly.
The two of them turned around and walked a few steps. Ye Yao turned around, looked at Xia Mang, and said, "If I had known today, even if Lao Bai and I risked our lives, we would not let you leave Xiaonan Country."
Back then, it was he and Bai Jie who personally sent Xia Mang away from Xiaonan Kingdom to Zuwangfeng, thousands of miles away. From then on, the situation changed until it got out of hand.
If Xia Mang had not left Xiaonan Country back then, perhaps the current situation would not have happened.
"There is no turning back after all." Xia Mang said calmly.
Both of them stagnated for a moment, and then left, disappearing deep into the forest.
Xia Mang looked at the direction where the two people left, smiled, squinted and said to himself: "But I don't regret leaving... If I hadn't gone through these things, where would I be today?"
Under the colorful peach trees, his smile gradually faded and was eventually completely lost in the night.
Not far away, beside the Emperor's Palace, a snow-white silhouette flashed away.
…
The next morning, on the edge of the West Sea.
There are dozens of large ships standing side by side, floating in the sea water, swaying slightly, and there are many people on these large ships at the moment. They are obviously ready to go to sea at any time.
This time, they were roughly divided into ten groups. They set off from the west coast one after another and surrounded the surroundings of the Demon Xu Sea, rushing to rescue the forerunners and island creatures.
According to the previous agreement, Xia Mang naturally wanted to be with Haiyuan and others.
On a large ship, Haiyuan waved to Xia Mang and said, "Xia Xiaoyou, it's time to set off."
Xia Mang responded with a smile, and then told Shi Tuo Ling, who had been following him, "Ling'er, I'm not here during this period, so you stay in the emperor's palace. If you encounter danger, just run to Prajna Temple, you know?"
?”
Shi Tuoling nodded lightly. She was a sensible little girl, especially after the tragic change in her family. She seemed to have grown up a lot overnight. She looked up at Xia Mang and said seriously: "Brother, come back soon."
Xia Mang nodded and touched Shi Tuoling's little head. At this moment, a clicking sound came from the direction of the mountain forest. Xia Mang looked around and saw the snow-white golden-winged pony fluttering its wings and galloping towards him.
.
The little silver fox was lying on the horse's back, while the little black monkey was hanging on the horse's tail, dangling from the back.
Xia Mang was speechless. The two little beasts were so naughty. They were just bullying the golden-winged pony!
"Whoosh!"
The little black monkey jumped on Xia Mang's shoulder, the golden-winged pony also stopped and leaned against the Buddha Ling. The little silver fox jumped into the little girl's arms. It stretched out its little paw and pointed at Xia Mang and the little black monkey.
, and pointed to the big ship.
"You mean... let the little black monkey come with me?" Xia Mang hesitated, "You and Xiao Ma stay?"
The little silver fox nodded repeatedly.
"That's fine."
Xia Mang thought for a moment, nodded, and warned: "You and Xiao Ma stay in the Emperor's Palace, and you must protect Ling'er's safety and stop running around."
The little silver fox felt guilty, whined and pointed at the little black monkey, which meant that he and the pony were instigated by the little black monkey.
"Zhizhi——" The little black monkey glared at the little silver fox, bared its teeth and huffed angrily.
Xia Mang was helpless, these two guys were not good friends, and they were even suspected of leading the Golden Winged Pony to evil.
On the big ship, Haiyuan and others looked at this scene and couldn't help but marvel and praised: "It is indeed a natural spiritual creature. In just a few months, it has become so understanding of human nature. It is really mysterious and cannot be compared with those evil spirits."
Xia Mang boarded the ship.
Take a boat, break the waves, and go out to sea.
…
The first volume: "If I were the Qing Emperor in another year" ends, and the next chapter begins into the second volume of the book: "Blood Spilled in the Sea".
