Chapter 156 The Emperor and His Story



The Dragon Saint was very aggressive, his voice and expression were both stern, and as a great sage, he was the most supreme in the six realms. If he entered the heaven, he would be only second to the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods. However, the three here reacted differently. The one who listened carefully sneered, the young Taoist lowered his eyes, and the gentle young man was stunned, thought for a moment, and brought another cup of tea.

The young spirit's expression was gentle and he said sincerely:

"It contains Patchouli, Perilla frutescens, Honeysuckle and Licorice."

"It can remove toxins, reduce internal heat, and get rid of bad breath."

Long Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

The young Taoist said calmly, "Let's put aside the bluffing for now, Dragon Saint."

"What really determines whether one is an emperor is the Heart of All Spirits and the Power of All Spirits. The so-called seal is just a token of trust. I think a dignified Dragon Saint should not be unable to see this. Or is it that this branch that has strayed away from the ancestral bloodline has declined so badly?"

The calm tone made Dragon Saint hesitate slightly. If he pretended that he did not agree, wouldn't it confirm what the young man said about being inferior to the ancestral lineage? For a clan like the Dragon Clan that has been extremely proud since ancient times, such words would never be accepted. So he just said coldly: "The language is sharp, no less than the sword."

The young Taoist smiled and invited him to sit down, and the voice of listening attentively rose in Qi Wuhuo's heart.

Although he is a great sage, as long as Di Ting does not pry into the deepest part of the soul, no one can stop him except the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods. Therefore, all the worries of this lineage of the dragon clan are already under Qi Wuhuo's control. The young Taoist's eyes are calm, but for some reason, there is a hint of coldness in the heart of the Dragon Saint.

Subconsciously look around.

Ling Di Ting subconsciously focused his mind, with surprise and seriousness in his eyes.

"As expected of the Dragon Clan..."

"Although they have not yet attained the Great Grade, they are superior to the normal Great Saints in all aspects. They would be a good match for the Heavenly Court. It's just a pity that the Dragon Clan was the most powerful among all spirits back then, and it is absolutely impossible for them to truly submit to the Heavenly Court. And the Heavenly Court will not trust them either."

Qi Wuhuo looked at Long Sheng in front of him and said, "There is no need for greetings or probing."

"I can 'guess' what Dragon Saint meant by that."

Puff——

Long Sheng couldn't help laughing when he saw the young man in green shirt next to him with his back to him.

The green shirt spirit smiled and said, "It's okay, please ignore me."

The young Taoist said calmly: "This is one of my... waiters."

"It's just that I've loved making fun of others since I was a kid, and I got beaten up for it. Now I can't control myself, and I often laugh when I shouldn't."

The green shirt spirit nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it."

"There's something wrong with my mouth. If I'm not careful, I'll laugh."

"Please bear with me. Bear with me."

Long Sheng said: "Master Qi, it's okay to guess."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the Dragon Saint and said, "In fact, there is no need to guess. In the final analysis, it is only your line of dragons who have forgotten their ancestors. In order to prevent chaos in the world and the beginning of the catastrophe, they planned to bring the corpse of the Dragon Emperor back to the clan and use it to prove their legitimacy. That's all."

Long Sheng's eyes were cold as he stared at the young Taoist in front of him.

But my heart sank slightly.

When the younger generation of the clan went to perform the ritual, they were indeed seen by this kid, and were eventually scolded by the Dragon Emperor, swept away thousands of miles with a sleeve, and crashed directly into the mountain, receiving a punishment of not too small a degree. When they did such a thing, they had no worries, but they never thought that this matter would be known to outsiders.

I never expected...

"It's just that you never expected that I would see this scene."

"You never expected that I had been to the East China Sea, did you?"

The young Taoist spoke calmly, and he had already revealed what Dragon Saint was thinking.

The latter's pupils were cold as he stared at the Taoist boy in front of him. He didn't know about the existence of Di Ting, but thought that the Taoist boy in front of him was really such a monster that he could see through his heart. It gave him a feeling of being unfathomable. The Taoist boy slightly opened his palm and said, "The Dragon Emperor's Dragon Ball has been sent back to the ancestral vein."

"And I personally went to Guixu."

The Dragon Saint brought with him a rare treasure that can measure whether something is true or not.

When the young Taoist said these words, there was not the slightest ripple on the strange treasure.

Obviously, this is all true.

Qi Wuhuo looked at the silent Long Sheng and calmly added a bigger weight.

"Senior Canglong."

"I was personally sent here."

Click.

The cup in Long Sheng's hand turned into powder.

Even for the dragon clan, which has always been unruly, the ancestor who was once so ferocious that he flooded the world and was the lifelong enemy of the saint king and his son in the Middle Ages of the human race, and who had to be bestowed with magic weapons by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor to be barely suppressed, was considered too unruly. This was also the greatest fear and worry of this lineage of the dragon clan.

If the ancient yet ferocious Taiko Canglong knew their actions.

Hasn't he been away from this world for a long time?

How could...

Qi Wuhuo brought the Dragon Emperor's dragon ball and soul to the ancestral land of the dragon clan. In other words, the ancestor Canglong knew what we were going to do to the Dragon Emperor. Knowing this, he was extremely angry and even sent this Taoist here personally?

No, that's not necessarily the case.

This is just one possibility.

Long Sheng calmly ruled out this possibility. He had experienced too many years and hardships, and his mind was strong and hard. He would not scare himself at this time. He said calmly: "I see. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to meet the ancestor Canglong. Otherwise, I should have a toast."

The young Taoist looked at him and said, "But, he really wants to see you."

!!!!!!!

Long Sheng's heart beat suddenly faster.

But there was not the slightest ripple on the magic weapon.

This sentence is true!

With the help of Di Ting, Qi Wuhuo could easily use the truth to induce Long Sheng's thoughts. The latter looked at Qi Wuhuo coldly and said, "It's a pity that I didn't see him..."

Qi Wuhuo said: "He hopes that you will go to the East China Sea to meet him in person."

It is the so-called unification of the dragon clan.

But at this moment, Dragon Saint already had something wrong in his mind.

This sentence sounded more like the ancestor Canglong asking him to return to the East China Sea in person to apologize!

And this statement was also true. There was not the slightest ripple in the Heart-Searching Pearl. After several consecutive guidances, Dragon Saint's expression finally changed. What really frightened him was not Qi Wuhuo, but himself. He knew that his behavior was absolutely intolerable to the East China Sea Dragon Clan.

The young Taoist said calmly: "I have seen the ancestral land of the dragon clan before."

"All the dragon balls of the dragon clan from ancient times to the present are in the ancestral land. They are the souls returning to their hometowns, and they are also the last bit of power that will burst out again when the dragon clan encounters a crisis."

"What crime do you think the Dragon Saint should be punished for in the Dragon Clan for what you did to the Dragon Emperor?"

Long Sheng sat opposite Qi Wuhuo, his back straight, his eyes cold and silent, and said:

"...Since you have told me so much, how can you teach me?"

He no longer pretends.

Qi Wuhuo said: "There is indeed a way."

"May I ask."

Qi Wuhuo said: "The dragon clan attaches great importance to the soul returning to the ancestral lineage. If you want to plunder the body of the Dragon Emperor for your own use, it is a great sin. Senior Canglong once swallowed 600,000 Dapeng in one day, with a murderous intention. But with this ray of hope, it is better to do it the other way around. Just say that you know the catastrophe is about to begin, and you want to take away the remains of the Dragon Emperor in order to return to the East China Sea."

"This should erase our fault for moving the remains of the Dragon King."

"It is a great sin to disturb the remains of our ancestors recklessly. Only in this way can we achieve a greater goal and quench the wrath of the Canglong Patriarch."

There were ripples in Long Sheng's eyes.

Not mentioning such words is equivalent to returning to the dragon clan.

He absolutely would not want to.

There are still other things he doesn't agree with.

Long Sheng said: "...How can such a reason deceive the Dragon Emperor and the Blue Dragon Ancestor?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "The Dragon Emperor and I are good friends, so I can help you say a few words."

"Besides, the possibility of the unification of the dragon race is right in front of us. Even if you really wanted to use his bones at that time, he wouldn't say anything, right?"

Long Sheng was silent, and said coldly: "You are so kind?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "Of course not."

"I have one condition."

The young Taoist held out a finger and said, "Five hundred years. I want you to join hands with Huang Yao to protect the little pampas grass for five hundred years."

"And as a price, I will help you to enlighten Emperor Yu Long and Senior Cang Long."

"Help your lineage return to the East China Sea to cleanse the problems caused by your actions."

Long Sheng's vertical pupils stared at the young Taoist in front of him and said, "So that's how it is... You did it for that little girl."

The young Taoist asked, "How?"

Qi Wuhuo's mind flashed with the voice of Di Ting: "He is somewhat moved, but not enough."

"He will continue to test you next."

The Dragon Saint said coldly: "My clan has been separated for 8,000 years and is independent. Why should we return to our ancestral lineage and obey the orders of those so-called dragon clan elders? Although Canglong is powerful, he is just himself. Humph, he is bound by the Three Pure Ones and cannot kill anymore. Besides, I am not as weak as Dapeng."

"You want me to come back? It's impossible!"

The young Taoist looked at the enraged Dragon Saint.

His eyes were cold and peaceful, but they shocked Long Sheng, who appeared angry but was actually calm.

Qi Wuhuo served tea to the guest and said:

"Then please go back."

Long Sheng: “…”

眼前的发展似乎超过他的预料。

齐无惑的每一步都和他预料不同,却又死死钳住他的要害,虽然自己一抬手就能捏死眼前这个没有开启仪轨的少年道人,但是却有一种诡异的憋屈感觉,仿佛每一步都在那少年道人的眼底,自己的一切心思在他的眼底展现出来。

而现在的举动,是故意,还是试探……

龙圣敛眸,起身,也同样表现出不在意的模样,而后背后传来齐无惑的声音:

“龙圣。”

龙圣脚步一顿,侧身。

少年道人并不看他,只是垂眸道:“你曾和太霄联手,参与了御之争。”

“而后土娘娘,很快会空出手。”

龙圣瞳孔微微收缩。

齐无惑淡淡道:“东海龙族为后土娘娘亲封东海渊圣广德王。”

“娘娘甚宽厚待之。”

龙圣沉默许久,冷硬道:“多谢告知!”

“告辞。”

转身,离开,再无半点的久留心思,只瞬间就化作一道流光,刹那之间,就已经消失不见,而齐无惑的心底则是爆发出了来自于谛听的一阵阵大笑声音,道:“哈哈哈哈,痛快啊,天机阁覆灭之后,已经很久没有过这样的经历了,不过也就是他没有察觉到。”

“若是那苍龙,我就不大愿意去听了。”

“被发现的话,对面大概率会直接翻脸的。”

“嗯?灭佛斩帝你做什么?”

“你嘴呢?”

那温和青年抬起头来,却是连嘴巴都没有了,旋即抬手一抹,嘴巴出现。

想了想,诚恳道:“我怕刚刚憋不住笑出声。”

“索性直接将嘴抹去了,不过……”

灭佛斩帝只是一刹那就出现在齐无惑面前,然后满脸一活,直接伸出手捏了捏齐无惑的头发,又摸了摸额头,满脸的疑惑,谛听几次三番询问,灭佛斩帝才疑惑不已,道:“您刚刚这种把别人卖掉还得让人给你干活儿的手法,实在是眼熟啊。”

“您真的不是吾主伏羲的残魂转世吗?”

“难道真的不是吾主伏羲在大道轮转之下,还剩下了点渣滓,然后和其他什么东西混了混,捏把捏把凑一团儿,然后勉强转世了?”

“虽然我亲眼见到他死了,但是吾主除非是被榨成灰,否则我总觉得他没死干净。”

“不对啊……”

“嗯?只是正常魂魄,有那么一点点的宿慧,但是和吾主没有关系。”

灭佛斩帝的器灵抬起头,有些惆怅。

“实在是,太可惜了。”

“还以为这一次可以让吾主试试看举高高骑马马是什么感觉。”

少年道人往后退了半步,避开灭佛斩帝的手掌。

谛听已经无奈。

谛听听到齐无惑的心声,皱着眉,道:“……嗯?去稍微影响一下龙族内部,散发一些恐慌?你是要逼迫龙圣……好吧,这样的事情,我也擅长,不过,小子……”

“这是我帮你的第四次了。”

“一共十次,还有六次,可要记得清楚!”

谛听的声音消失不见了。

齐无惑眸子微睁,他抬起头,看着天穹,天穹之上的争斗仍旧还存在,斗部位格极高的十一曜此刻已经化作了一巨大无比的仪轨科仪,而手背上的火曜纹路此刻还在微微亮起,炽烈刺骨的剧痛这几日自始至终都在伴随着他。

火曜……

少年道人眸子睁开,眼底倒映着的是汹涌燃烧着的,在十一曜最中央的火曜,火光耀目,映照于眼底,似乎从不曾变化,而在斗部天阙之外,整个火曜都已经被无数的流光捆缚起来,无数的流光,代表着的是诸多天上星君星曜的力量,丝丝缕缕,明净而浩瀚。

自十一曜之间,不同的力量已经开始传递,化作阵法。

更是引来了天河之水。

在此地摆下了上清灵宝大天尊一脉的九曲黄河阵法,其中黄河以天河水代替,便以使得此阵威能更甚原本,旋即每一曜皆有一万一千名天兵天将,并十万天河水军,共计有二十万天兵天将,各自占据方位,身披甲胄而手持利刃,阵牌,以完成了这一次的仪轨。

将仪轨的力量导向了此刻的斗部之主,也是目前斗部底蕴最深的太阴元君。

要借助火曜之暴动,令太阴元君更进一步。

“十一曜连珠,这个仪轨,可以称之为是帝级的了啊。”

水德星君站在了天河大阵之上,看着天穹之上不断变化的方位,那无数的星辰流光倒影而下,可谓是恢弘,太白玉妙元君微微颔首,所谓的帝级仪轨,便是如此的程度,是要借此机会,抵达先天化生的天神那种完美的层次。

而大帝级别仪轨。

则需有几个特性。

其中第一,是为规格极高。

其中第二,也是最为苛刻,也因此而凌驾于天地创生之帝的地方——

规格特殊,古往今来,绝无复现的可能!

古往今来,唯一!

便可超越帝,抵达大品,是为无上之根基。

十一曜连珠,虽是极苛刻之场景,但是十一曜代表着道的一部分,各自运转于天地之间,若有机缘,终是可得复现而出,又因为规格极高,凌驾于真君之上,便可被称之为【帝】。

“火曜已经无法再暴动了,趁它稳定下来,我等开始吧。”

“七日时间,完成仪轨!”

以十一曜各自占据方位为仪轨之基,而天河水浩瀚流转为连携。

十一曜次第亮起。

震宫岁星起雷离宫,太白星起云坎宫,辰星起雨中央,镇星起风,其余诸星辰皆有变化,火曜之光黯淡,太阴之气升腾,无尽星光朝着天阙冲起,似乎要穿透天阙和大地,哪怕是被不周山镇压的三十三天外天,却也有隐隐的星光浮现出。

轰!!!

星辰的概念伪装已被抛弃。

在此地的,乃是沉重的大地概念和代表着战争的兵戈概念在碰撞着,已放弃了先前的一切试探,对于御来说,时间的感知和常人对于时间的感知截然不同。

复又是常人认知之中数日的争斗!

轰天锏砸下,勾陈双手有一柄古朴的战戈,横着抬起,直接架住了不周山的轰天锏。

两股磅礴气机碰撞在一起。

而后开始了自身概念的直接正面交锋!

战阵兵戈,以及群山大地。

一时间互不相容。

互不相让。

大地被撕裂,却又重续,三十三重天外天之中一切都已经被粉碎了,哪怕是勾陈的宫阙,不周山的山体和兵器剥离开,以让镇压着三十三天的不周山和轰天锏同时存在,此刻的余波之下,就连古老强大的不周山都开始颤抖,开始出现裂隙。

轰!!!

一阵阵的轰鸣声不曾停歇,只是碰撞,就犹如奔雷。

不周山山体之上一枚碎裂的石头落下,在风中粉碎,一路飘**掠过了三十三重天,层层厚重的云气在天空之中遮掩着,似乎将整个大地都笼罩在其中,浩瀚,恢弘,云气散开来,亦或者说,是被冲天而起的戈矛撕裂!

哗啦——

一面面的古老旗帜剧烈的招展着,上面有着上古时代的古老痕迹,旋即,当第一面旗帜竖起来的时候,第二面,第三面乃至于更多的战旗被竖起,在风中徐徐舞动的古老战旗汇聚在了一起,犹如一片片苍茫的彩云。

而战旗之下,古老部族的战士穿着甲胄,披着战袍,徐徐前行。

最终站定。

无数的旗帜飘扬着,簇拥着最中央的古朴高台,曾经最古天庭祭祀万物,祭祀太一的场所,也是现在的妖界圣地,最为核心的地方,在这几日的时间里面,器灵和荒爻重现了曾经的太一仪轨,至少是部分重现。

在无数的古老战旗飘扬的画面之中,仿佛又重新回到了上古万物万类之主还在,古代天庭恢弘的史诗时代之中,每一枚的旗帜之下都汇聚着这一脉的战将,他们以一种独特的方式排列着,汇聚着,每一族的方位在何处,血脉是如何,皆无有丝毫的错漏。

于是最终,一种恢弘,肃穆的气氛在整个天地间回**着,仿佛血脉在流动,仿佛神魂在共鸣,让万族万灵的战士都下意识的挺起胸膛,让自己的面容更为肃穆,荒爻收敛住那种被震动的感觉,转过身,有一道道视线也看过去。

黑色的,有着万灵纹章痕迹的衮服袍服在风中微微地晃动着。

原本的少女眉宇间变得坚毅许多,她缓缓走来,袍服的下摆在往后面蔓延,上面以金色的线绣着万类之痕,这本身也是一种科仪的要求,展现了部分的娲皇血脉,于是眉宇之中,自有一丝丝坚毅和认真,眸子变得纤长,金红色的眼影让少女的样子变得成熟和雍容些许。

荒爻都忍不住有些失神。

“吾皇啊,就让我来带着您走完这一条道路吧!”

狂热的声音!

The tall Di Jiang, wearing armor and a brocade battle robe, half-knelt down and stretched out his hand to hold the girl's hand, but was stopped by Huang Yao. At this moment, a figure had already walked to the side of Xiao Pengcao. Xiao Pengcao's eyes turned slightly and looked at Qi Wuhuo who was walking towards him. His Taoist robe was replaced with white clothes, and the wooden hairpin turned into a golden crown.

Her black hair fell behind her shoulders, with golden threads running through the inky black hair.

Dijiang looked at him.

In other words, countless eyes around were fixed on the young Taoist.

The latter smiled slightly, then put his left hand behind his back and bowed slightly.

The Emperor of All Spirits looked at that warm and familiar smile, then took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and placed it on Qi Wuhuo's hand in another posture. The spirit of the instrument snapped his fingers, and the magnificent music of ancient times rang out together, the sound of the piano, jade chimes, and chimes, graceful and solemn, with a kind of unhurried vastness, resounding through the sky of heaven and earth, and in the ears of all living things.

It makes all living beings feel solemn in their hearts.

Vast, vast, and ancient.

It was as if in a trance, I had returned to the ancient times, the most magnificent era of the Lord of All Spirits.

Qi Wuhuo slightly turned sideways, and after the ritual began, he brought the girl and gently stepped onto the white jade steps under the gazes of countless demon spirits that were filled with fear, disgust, and even murderous intent.

when--

It seemed as if there was a clear sound flowing.

Above the sky, the strange phenomenon of eleven stars in a row suddenly paused. The next moment, when Qi Wuhuo personally led the Lord of all things to the graceful Taiyi ritual, the fire star in the center suddenly burst out with an incomparable violent light. The violence of the light dissipated in the next moment, and then the blazing flames broke through the sky!

What else could be better than personally ending the chaos in the entire world!

He then deposed the Demon King, took control of the world, and led the masters of all spirits and creatures, and returned to Taiyi's path.

More orderly? !

Not anymore!

The ritual of the eleven stars' sealing was broken in an instant. The sky river rose up and was evaporated in an instant, just like clouds dissipating in the sky. Two hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals retreated together, looking embarrassed and miserable, but they saw the light of the fire star rising directly, and then directly-

Pierce through the sun!

Go to Dongyang——

Without stopping, he rushed straight to the Purple Palace!

In the fire star, the violent flames turned into brilliant golden light.

Grand and upright!

"Huo Yao, Huo Yao!!!"

"hiss--"

"The Fire Star is rushing into the palace?!"

"Mars is in the heart, and the Lord has lost his palace. This is very ominous, very ominous!"

Those who were good at star divination among all the spirits changed color when they saw this scene, knowing the ominous feeling of Fire Star. So the voices of all things became noisy, especially when the sun was pierced by Fire Star once, the sky became dim, and only the light of Fire Star seemed to have surpassed everything, and the other ten stars disappeared!

All of them were suppressed by the flames of Fire!

Only the huge stars with golden and dark red colors were suspended in the sky.

It seemed as if everything revealed a sense of ominousness, uneasiness, and great danger.

It was as if it symbolized that this time's enthronement ceremony was not orthodox, but a disaster, a symbol of an impending crisis. The girl still had a little bit of cowardice in her heart, but she still tried to raise her head. When everything was noisy, the young Taoist's footsteps did not stop. He smiled and lowered his eyes, and then suddenly spoke, and in this ceremony, his voice was calm and peaceful, saying:

"Mars will drive away disasters and bring great fortune."

Because it was on the ritual, the sound was transmitted with the help of the characteristics of the prototype of Taiyi ritual, suppressing the noisy noise. Xiao Pengcao raised his head and saw the young man looking at him sideways. Huge golden stars with wisps of dark red occupied the position in the sky, as if they were slowly burning and rotating behind the young man, and the sky and the earth were filled with rosy clouds!

It seems that the light is too bright, and the clouds are too gorgeous.

Then the young Taoist's face could no longer be seen clearly.

Just like a dream thousands of years in the future.

All she knew was that the fire star was emitting strands of dark golden glow around him, and that his black hair was hanging down at the temples, with brilliant golden threads under the golden crown. The auspicious clouds, under the reflection of the flames, slowly carved out the trajectory of the wind, and the young man pulled her up step by step.

So the girl stumbled and followed him.

It was as if time had lost its track, as if everything had lost its sound, and the white robe fluttered slightly.

It blows past my eyes, bringing with it the warmth of sunshine.

All the spirits in armor half-knelt and bowed on both sides of the road and steps they passed, with weapons raised high. Under the clouds above their heads, battle flags that were no less beautiful than the clouds were flowing and fluttering, with different colors and traces, brilliant and splendid. And then there was the grand ceremony. Everything seemed like a silent dream, as dreamy and unreal.

No one can deny the existence of this person, and no one is willing to acknowledge his existence.

A fierce enemy who was denied by everyone personally supported the young emperor to the highest place.

It opens up a long period of peace for all living beings in the future.

This kind of history should have been remembered, but not a single word was recorded in the official history, as if all the spirits were avoiding this period of history after that. There was absolutely no written record of him in the official history of the spirits, but in the alleys of the spirits, in the circulating stories and legends, his existence occupied the most important chapters -

There is a legend that when the emperor was still young and weak, it was this man who appeared and turned everything around. At that time, he was still young and wore white clothes to fight against thousands of troops, deposed the Demon Emperor of that time, and then personally opened up a path, supporting the young emperor on the path of the Lord of All Spirits, accomplished earth-shaking achievements, and then left calmly.

In the story, the young emperor admired him, but he never hesitated to leave.

A minister once reported to the emperor that these storytellers from the mortal world were too frivolous and had no respect for the emperor, and should be severely punished. However, the emperor was cold and indifferent at that time and did not say anything. She looked at the scripts presented by the trembling ministers and rewarded the storytellers who circulated in various circles.

In the records of later generations.

This represents the broad and generous heart of the King of All Spirits, which is compassionate and magnanimous.

But the ministers that day saw the emperor staring at the script in a daze, and then the Lord of All Spirits, who was already able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Jade Emperor, wearing a white robe, sat under the moonlight all night.

Some people also say that it is a violent and ferocious existence.

He manipulated the young emperor and used her as a puppet, but in reality he controlled the movements of all living things. All living things feared his ferocious power, but did not respect his virtue.

No matter what kind of record it is, good or bad, in the end, for some unknown reason, people avoid mentioning it.

It was as if that person's name had been lost in the long years and the torrent of the times in which countless heroes rose and fell, while unofficial histories, official stories, and the most popular stories in the streets and alleys, about the young emperor and the man with extraordinary means, were all recorded in this way.

Wan Ling, or the name of that era——

Ten thousand monsters.

Imperial teacher.

[The five stars shine in a row, calling the five directions bright. Mercury wards off fire, and the virtue of wood brings prosperity. Mars wards off disasters, and Venus wards off war.]
