Chapter 180 Farewell to the Era
"Oh, and Sister Gu Qing!"
Wu Mingkong suddenly remembered something and said to the two.
"Okay!"
The Bronze Temple went to another place.
Soon, it landed in a mountain villa.
The mountain villa was quiet, and the sound of the piano was faint.
The sound of the piano turned into a solemn and murderous sound, and leaves fell. From time to time, a few screams were heard, and suddenly the sound of the piano turned into a strange sound, which made people confused.
I saw a group of people in the same clothes holding weapons inside the villa to kill each other, as if their teammates had a deep hatred with themselves, and even if they died, they would drag the other party down with them.
A woman in a green skirt was sitting in the pavilion not far away. Gu Qing was playing the piano. The sound of the piano made the enemies kill each other. If you didn't see the scene of killing, you would really think it was playing the piano for entertainment.
Soon, the number of enemies dropped to less than ten.
Dang!
With a sound of the piano, the sound of the piano turned into an invisible blade, and the remaining enemies were all cut in half.
At this time, the courtyard was faintly covered.
The sound of the piano stopped, and Gu Qing's calm face showed a trace of shock.
What is this?
The door opened, and Gu Qing was relieved.
It turned out to be the True Lord.
She stood up and bowed slightly, saying: "Disciple Gu Qing pays homage to the True Lord!"
The auspicious cloud lifted her up and went to the bronze palace.
"I haven't seen you for twenty years. You have grown up a lot." Xu Xuan smiled. Although she is an adopted daughter, her temperament is indeed similar to Gu Hanwei.
"The True Lord is still as elegant as ever!"
...
Chang'an.
It was another prosperous period. Li Zhen expanded the territory and returned victoriously.
The Great True Lord Palace was brightly lit, and all civil and military officials celebrated.
"He'er, Yuan'er, this is the Minister of War, and this is the Heavenly Doctor Daohai True Lord..."
Li Zhen, who was in his forties, had three long beards and his temperament had become much more mature. He brought his two sons to meet the ministers.
The eldest son Li He was a martial arts expert, and the second son was relatively mediocre.
As the two male members of the Li family, it would be good to expand their network.
After the banquet.
"The Great Immortal has the mandate of heaven, so why not report to the True Lord, proclaim yourself emperor, establish a dynasty, and rule the country forever."
Someone persuaded Xu Xuan to proclaim himself emperor, but Xu Xuan said that he was the mandate of the Supreme Immortal, and the emperor must be the mandate of the Son of Heaven, so the matter was left unresolved.
The emperor's knot has actually always been in the hearts of the Taoists. A Heavenly Emperor in heaven and a Human Emperor on earth are the most suitable configurations.
The matter of proclaiming the emperor has been rumored, and the next thing is a matter of course.
Soon, at the banquet, after the traditional three refusals and three declines, Li Zhen decided to report to the Wuyou Garden in Mount Li to prepare for the matter of proclaiming the emperor.
The banquet was over, and the prosperity ended.
"Is the True Lord still on the mountain?" asked the eldest son Li He.
"Of course."
When Xu Xuan was in seclusion, they were not yet born. They only heard rumors about the True Lord and truly felt the majesty of the True Lord.
As his idol, Li He dared not imagine the scene of meeting Xu Zhenjun.
"Should he be a kind old grandfather of 130 or 140 years old?" Li He thought.
Although the descriptions of his father's generation all depicted him as a young and handsome man, they all looked like they were decades ago, so it is impossible that he would not age.
Even the gods, in the myths passed down by people, also look like kind old grandfathers.
"You will know when the time comes."
For some reason, Li Zhen was not interested. After sending everyone away, he stood there alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
Being an emperor is a right and an obligation. Can he really do it well?
When he traveled around the world, especially during the period when Zhenjun was in seclusion, he saw that the country was still somewhat unstable. The king and the emperor had existed for too long. Now there was no emperor. Some ambitious people wanted to be emperors, relying on force or power, but the powerful force of the Great Zhenren suppressed them.
The previous emperor represented the destiny of heaven. Even a great master with strong force did not dare to kill the emperor to replace him, otherwise his reputation would be bad in the eyes of the people of the world.
Therefore, being an emperor maintained stability to a certain extent. As for the power of the emperor, the martial arts world was allowed to check and balance it.
Let's just follow the path we have planned.
Three days later, under the influence of intelligence agencies in various places, the people accepted the idea of becoming an emperor.
In their view, since the True Lord allowed it and it was the will of heaven, it would be natural for him to become an emperor.
"Spread the news to the whole city, and have a grand banquet for ten days!"
On the second day, Chang'an City was decorated with lights and colors, and the atmosphere was brand new.
Prefects and governors of various places and frontier garrisons rushed to Chang'an.
Half a month later.
The news of becoming an emperor spread to all places, and almost everyone who could come came.
Chang'an, a thousand-year-old city, gathered heroes from all sides again.
In the suburbs, the altar of heaven and earth was worshipped.
Li Zhen wore an imperial robe, and the one in charge of the sacrifice was another Great True Man, Haicang. Since he was determined to inherit the emperor, he gave up the position of Great True Man to Haicang.
Haicang presided over the sacrifice.
"Ordered by heaven..."
Everyone present held their breath and concentrated, not daring to speak, each witnessing a historic moment.
Ever since the establishment of the country, the throne of the emperor has been vacant. Some say that the true emperor wants to be the emperor, while others claim to be the true son of heaven. All kinds of conspiracies and intrigues are undercurrents.
The royal family in the future will be named Li.
"Great is the heaven, which benefits all things. The True Lord has come down to earth, and the people bow down... Today the country is named Xia."
The Xia Dynasty was the first dynasty, and now it is a new cycle, so it should be called Xia.
Ding Ding!
An inexplicable bell sounded in the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw that the clouds turned into pure gold, and the bronze temple emerged from the clouds. The scene was very dreamy. Many people saw a miracle for the first time in their lives. After today, they will never forget it.
The True Lord disappeared for 20 years and reappeared in the world, bringing eternal myths.
All doubts and ambitions disappeared, and the deepest fear and awe buried in people's hearts reappeared.
I still remember the words of the True Lord back then, that the gods coming down to earth is not a blessing, but it makes the world fight and blood is spilled all over the world.
Blood and happiness coexist, fear and love coexist, this is the real god.
The gods are like a sharp sword, hanging over the heads of the world, both to resist foreign enemies and to kill their own people.
Everyone shouted at the same time.
"Greetings to the True Lord of the Three Realms!"
The gate of the immortal opened wide, and everyone saw the face of the True Lord. Li He was shocked that he was as young as himself.
"Stand up. I, by order of the Emperor of Heaven, have appointed Li Zhen as the emperor of the Xia Dynasty. It will take effect today. All people should abide by their duties and the emperor should remember the people. The good will live forever after death, and the evil will fall into the eternal hell."
Xu Xuan announced to everyone with a blank expression. Although his voice was small, it was clearly heard by everyone. Everyone shouted the name of the immortal again, louder than when they worshipped the emperor.
This is Xu Xuan's supreme status in the hearts of the people.
Of course, Xu Xuan had enjoyed the love of hundreds of millions of people in his previous life, and he was used to it, and even didn't care.
He was also an old man over 180 years old. What ups and downs had he not seen, what kind of life had he not experienced?
This system is actually quite good. The extraordinary power and the imperial power are balanced. According to Xu Xuan's own experience, the current system for cultivating descendants is relatively healthy. The power in the early and middle stages is relatively balanced. The first hundred years are the intimate period, and the next hundred years are the balance period.
A total of about two hundred years of stable and prosperous period, and then another hundred years of prosperity and decline, a hundred years of patching, and twenty to thirty years of collapse. There may be certain political fluctuations in the middle, but it basically does not affect the overall situation.
There is no immortal dynasty in the world.
A national life of four or five hundred years is very remarkable, and it is also in line with the time of one's own existence. As for the extravagant hope of thousands of generations, it can only appear in dreams.
In the hall, everyone gathered, and all the older generation came together.
Even Li Chunfeng and Kou Xun, who traveled around the world, came. With the Taoist's ability to control the world, unless they have been hiding in the mountains and forests, they will always be found.
Xu Xuan looked around, and the new generation of Li Zhen, Wu Shixin, and these people have also entered middle age, all of them are old.
Time really waits for no one, and time makes people grow old.
From their faces, the shadows of their fathers can be vaguely seen.
Everyone greeted Xu Xuan in turn. Most of them saw Xu Xuan for the first time in more than 20 years. Except for the day when Wuyou Garden was built, they basically had not seen him again.
"I came here today to see you. From now on, the world will be handed over to you!"
Xu Xuan said to everyone, especially Li Chunfeng and the other two. At their age, they will be gone in 20 or 30 years, and they may not even notice it.
This may be the last time they meet.
"Take care, Zhenjun." Li Chunfeng, with gray hair on his temples, said solemnly.
Kou Xun's eyes were wet.
Time is really too fast. Back then, I was still a little girl lying in Zhenjun's arms and acting coquettishly. As time passed, my appearance became a sister, aunt, grandmother...
"Well, take care of yourself." Xu Xuan wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only say goodbye.
I just went to the Imperial Observatory to check the records. There was only one record of nine stars in a row during the Xia Dynasty, and there was no record after that. Knowing this, this era has no meaning to him.
When we meet again next time, there may be only a tomb left. I am detached from the world, and they also have their own joys and sorrows.
"Take care!"
The bronze temple rose from the ground and disappeared into the sky.
Everyone looked at Xu Xuan's flying back, feeling empty in their hearts.
Immortals and mortals are separated forever, this is immortals and mortals are separated forever.
After a while, the two iconic things of Mount Li, the sycamore tree and the iron bamboo forest, also disappeared.
So far, Xu Xuan bid farewell to this era.
