That domineering shot carried the resolute thought of the leader of the military strategists, and in an instant it was wrapped in a thunderous murderous aura, turning into a rainbow of light and rushing straight towards the Human Emperor. The military strategist's luck that did not need to be conferred by the Human Emperor roared proudly here, showing its presence. This was a greater impact on the luck of humanity, or the luck of the Human Emperor, than anything else.
Without the Emperor's conferment, one can still have human destiny? !
Even taking action against the Human Emperor!
You can also have such pure luck!
In an instant, the imprint left on everyone by long-standing education and experience, that is, the concept that the destiny of humanity needs to be conferred by the Human Emperor and that the Human Emperor is the source of all destiny, collapsed invisibly. After losing its uniqueness, the sacredness and inviolability of the existence and title of the Human Emperor inevitably became covered with dust in everyone's hearts.
This is the greatest way to cut off your luck!
It is not the destiny of the world that is cut off.
It is to cut off the shackles in the hearts of all living beings!
From now on, the Human Emperor can be defeated!
The lineage of the Human Emperor that had lasted for thousands of years, and the sense of destiny that had formed in the hearts of the civil and military families, gradually collapsed.
It is as if a spark has been planted, which will eventually ignite into a raging flame one day in the future, and the Human Emperor is the target of this flame's final burning. Is this a disaster - because it will eventually set off war and flames, or a blessing - because it can burn dead and rotten corpses with flames and revolutionize the world with flames? Now it is impossible to decide.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that when Li Zhai opened his eyes, he saw shock, anger and a hint of fear in the eyes of the true Human Emperor. The corners of the military leader's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked unruly.
The majesty of the Human Emperor that was above everything else was pulled down.
The accumulation of thousands of years of successive emperors was pierced by this one spear.
Li Zhai saw that the body of the Human Emperor, who seemed to have everything under control, was trembling slightly with fear and anger, his fists clenched. Before this day, he was still feeling proud of the humanitarian rituals he had prepared for himself, thinking that he was about to surpass all the previous kings and reach the realm of the first Human Emperor. But in the blink of an eye, he became the one whose luck was broken.
He could already foresee the anger of the future Human Emperor towards him.
In an instant, the spear was like a dragon, tearing through layers of luck and piercing straight through the Human Emperor. The original luck of humanity was enough to compete with the Emperor of Heaven, but when facing the spear at this moment, a considerable part of the luck did not resist the spear, and even wrapped around the spear tip, making the spear's aura even stronger!
Finally, accompanied by some kind of breaking sound, the spear pierced through the luck, or at least part of it.
When the sound of the bell rings.
Suddenly a streak of light fell.
Just cut the spear in half!
Li Zhai saw that the real Human Emperor was standing at a height that no one could see. Above his head was the sun, shining brightly. Everyone looked down at his feet and saw that he was holding an ancient bow in his hand. The oldest Human Emperor of the human race once fought side by side with the Dragon Emperor of the demon race. They agreed to eliminate an emperor-level enemy for each other and become allies.
The king of the demon clan revealed his true form and entangled Kunpeng in the sky, causing it to fall into the East China Sea.
The huge mythical beasts stirred up the wind and clouds in the East China Sea, and the sound of the rushing water was like thunder. The emperor of the human race stood on the top of the mountain, holding the bow, facing the true body of the Demon King without any defense, and fulfilled his promise. The bow pierced the giant Kunpeng with a length of tens of millions of miles, establishing the extraordinary position of the dragon race. The giant Kunpeng's wail resounded through the sky, and blood dyed the entire East China Sea red.
The Human Emperor and the Demon Emperor agreed to be friends.
Invite the Jade Emperor to drink together.
At this moment, this bow, which represents the utmost majesty of the human world and the emperor's promise, had once fought for the human race and was held by the contemporary emperor. Even though it had not been opened for more than eight thousand years, the arrows shot from it were still extremely powerful, directly interrupting Li Zhai's attack, on which he had staked everything. The spear fell to the ground, whistling and buzzing.
"Get it!!!"
“Traitor!!”
Li Zhai was pressed to the ground by the huge number of imperial guards. A mixed iron rod as thick as a bowl, engraved with runes, was swung high up and then smashed down hard, hitting his knees. The weight of hundreds of people pressed him to his knees, but even so, he still looked unwillingly and defiantly at the Human Emperor who was standing on the high ground with a bow in his hand.
There were wounds on his face, which looked bruised.
But he smiled disdainfully.
He spat a mouthful of blood to one side.
The Human Emperor's chest heaved, he was forced out by his own son, his great cause was shattered, he no longer had the chance to achieve anything. Even the unparalleled majesty accumulated by successive Human Emperors was shattered today by his own son. He could already foresee how difficult it would be to control his ministers, who were originally his own corrupt officials.
Today, Li Zhai, as a military strategist, has given everyone the last way out.
When the emperor is unjust, everyone in the world can fight against him!
Next we need to weaken the military strategists.
We must promote civil servants and use them to suppress military officers, and we must never allow such people to increase in number.
Promote culture and abolish military power in order to destroy the military strategists.
The thoughts in the Human Emperor's mind emerged one by one, but the shock and anger in his heart still made him lose his usual composure. Looking at the appearance of his seventh son, he drew his bow in shock and anger. The bowstring that had been used to fight against the ancient behemoths was filled with the energy of humanity and turned into a bright arrow that was enough to kill all evil spirits and locked onto Li Zhai.
There was murderous intent everywhere, without even the slightest attempt to conceal it.
With a slight movement of his fingers, the tip of the arrow pointed directly at his son's forehead. Then, as he loosened his fingers, the arrow, carrying the murderous intent of the Human Emperor, pierced towards Li Zhai's forehead. Li Zhai was forced to kneel on the ground. The new military spirit in his body roared and he pounced fiercely to resist the arrow.
The arrow pierced through the military strategist's evil spirit, and the evil spirit dissipated into the void.
The inscription on the general's hundred battles monument behind Li Zhai trembled and collapsed.
The energy of the arrow was greatly weakened, but it was still enough to kill Li Zhai in an instant. However, with a clanging sound, a spear and a sword blocked Li Zhai's body at the same time, demonstrating the luck of humanity. The two worked together to deflect the arrow, so that it only pierced Li Zhai's shoulder, and then continued to move forward and directly nailed it into the Hundred Battles Monument.
With a loud bang, this ancient stele with a history of thousands of years was directly shaken to create cracks.
Everyone was shocked and saw the two people blocking the Seventh Prince Li Zhai.
The fourth prince, Li Hui.
And the former crown prince's son, Prince of Qin Li Feng.
With the Fourth Prince, whose reputation among the princes was second only to that of the Crown Prince, and the humanity and luck of a duke, they were able to barely deflect the arrow that had pierced through the aura of the military leader, making it avoid the vital point. However, the atmosphere at this moment had become extremely tense, and everyone felt as if their breathing had stopped.
The bow in the hand of the real Human Emperor has proved his true identity, but everyone doesn't think about what happened today.
The war bow slowly opened, as if the anger had not yet been completely suppressed, and the Fourth Prince suddenly turned around, and the sword in his hand slashed across the Seventh Prince's face with great force, leaving two bloody marks. He was extremely angry, and then he turned around and bowed and said: "Your Highness, my Seventh Brother was fighting against the demon countries at the border, and he always killed their subordinates, and he was always in trouble."
"I was deceived by the demon tribe's tricks and came here to slander the Holy Emperor!"
"I have examined the seventh brother's soul."
"Fortunately, the Holy Emperor is wise and savage. He used the Emperor's weapon to pierce the evildoer through my body with one arrow, and together with the General's Hundred Battles Monument, he killed the evildoer!"
"Save our human border general!"
The Fourth Prince spoke slowly and unhurriedly, attributing all the previous deeds of the Seventh Prince to the demon clan.
He also secretly pointed out the Seventh Prince's identity as a general at the border and the war at the border, and described the angry arrow just now as a backup plan to kill the demon clan, thus preparing a way out for the Human Emperor. The King of Qin lowered his eyes, holding a spear in his hand, and he stood up temporarily and grabbed the spear of a guard with one hand, then quickly jumped across the railing, showing his strong martial arts attainments.
He didn't know why he did it.
It seemed that it was because of his own character. The Seventh Prince risked his life for what happened back then, so how could the King of Qin sit and ignore it? Although there was such a passion in his heart, his heart was also rising. At that time, when he was still in Zhongzhou, the teacher's calm tone said -
The emperor has the same name.
Yes, so the Seventh Prince exposed what happened that year.
My sister and I are in a very safe situation.
If the emperor took action against him now, then to some extent, what the seventh prince said would be confirmed.
And such an opportunity is just right for him to take advantage of. He can not only win the favor of military strategists, but also get the recognition of the head of the three famous scholars who came out of seclusion because of their teacher's letter, and become famous here. The greater his fame, the less likely the emperor would dare to touch him in a short period of time. The thousands of twists and turns in his mind in an instant made the King of Qin himself wonder why he was standing here.
Is it to save people or to gain benefits?
But at this moment, he just acted like the young Akagi and said, "Today is a grand ceremony, so it is inappropriate to see blood."
"Your Majesty, please consider..."
Qiong Yu lowered her eyes slightly, walked to the Queen's ear and whispered something. The Queen frowned, but finally found a way to inform the Saint Emperor. It was just one sentence, saying, today is the grand sacrifice, the Nine Provinces of Central Earth is a country of etiquette, does the Saint Emperor want to do such a thing as killing his son in public?
秦王代表着大势,而四皇子给出了下台阶的道路,琼玉的话则是最后的推动。
纵然人皇也不可能在这等情况下恣意妄为了。
人皇缓缓收了弓,道:“吾儿久在边关,辛苦厮杀,妖族竟然蛊惑他。”
“此仇。”
“朕必报之!”
他已持弓,自身的身份早已彰显出来,只能让那替身下去,而自己穿白衣锦绣袍,以真身坐在了那九层楼阁之上,众人跪拜,口称有罪,人皇也只平和笑言道:“诸卿等勿要多礼,朕不过只希望自旁处看看今日之大祭全貌,诸卿何罪之有?”
“有罪者,朕也。”
他自嘲笑着,众人如何敢应。
纵然是人皇再如何想要去改变气氛,但是此刻的压抑却无法再扭转了,而纵然这般压抑肃穆之感,和先前没有什么太大的差别,可是他还是感觉到人皇之气不再聚集,而人道气运甚至于有种滑落的错觉!
人皇沉默。
风自九州来!
似乎是藏匿在背后太久远了。
突然坐在了前面,他有一种不安的感觉。
有一种危险的感觉。
一阵的压抑之中,太子忽然察觉到了一种契机,现在正是自己出面的时候,献上宝物,压下这样凝滞的气氛,而后将事情导向正轨,于是他长呼了口气,自诸臣子之中越众而出,道:“今日圣人皇大祭,更改年号,我人族必如大鹏,腾空而起,翻飞九天之上。”
“儿臣奉命,在外巡游九州之时,恰好寻到了此大鹏赋。”
“当,献给陛下!”
人皇垂眸,微微颔首,道:“允。”
太子微拱手,令一侧潜龙卫将玉盒取上来,双手捧着,趋身上前。
以献此宝,众多臣子都知道,这是当今人皇年少的时候最喜欢的书卷,其中文采飞扬,且寓意也是极佳,先前经过了那样剧烈的事情,而今这献上大鹏赋是一极好的缓和之事,众臣也知今日之事大得无可想象,今日之后必有极大的波折。
但是无论今日之后如何,先要平缓度过今日才是。
于是皆齐齐称颂,有说是太子贤明,有说是帝皇有德,这才有此宝物来此,亦有人说不出这样拍马屁的话语,只说这帖子甚好,文采飞扬,恰好符合我朝之风光,于是称赞之声,不绝于耳。
太子神态甚从容,踱步上前,打开了玉盒,而后左右自有人捧着这卷轴,缓缓展开。
卷轴之上,那文采飞扬之文字,极是潇洒。
但是忽有大文士察觉到不对,疑惑不已:
“奇怪,当年醉居士乃是大醉之后,趁着余兴写下了这样的文字,字里行间的气韵,该是汪洋洒脱,恣意随性才是的,可是今日这大鹏赋,看上去倒是一般无二,可是文字之中,竟然是有一股飘逸出尘之感,如茶而非酒。”
“何其怪哉……”
“如茶而非酒?”
众多文臣绝非是浪得虚名之辈,经由点拨,终于品出了些许的不同,而此刻这卷轴也展到了最后,太子念诵此文,声音戛然而止,忽而这文字上,有一股流光亮起,这流光粲然,仿佛每一个文字都蕴含了神韵,而现在这些神韵则是刹那之间组合成了一个可以被看到的人。
肃杀的鸣啸震动寰宇,只刹那的森然,就让所有人都感觉到一股窒息。
甲胄的鸣啸肃杀而凌冽。
那是玄甲!
玄甲再现!
众多臣子的面色骤变,不敢置信,看着这已经被送到了九重楼下的卷轴,刹那之间文字腾起,流光逸散,化作一名老卒,满头白发,已是断腿,却犹自持剑怒吼,兵家惨烈之杀气爆发出来。
那被击碎的百战碑文上的气机逸散,仿佛化作腾云一般。
老卒残留的意念被以文字保留送来。
那一年的锦州,一十三佛门弟子燃烧祖师舍利子撕开前路,道门弟子坐化的剑修有超过六百人,一军的铁骑违背了命令,凿开前路,杀入妖国,最终活下来的人只有二十七个。
而那老卒,重甲碎裂,身披三十余创,被发现的时候,仍旧举着剑,怀中抱着一死去孩童,似昏了头,却对那京城的方向,怒吼不已,而今腾云而起,借助了李翟凿穿的空洞,借助了这碎裂的百战碑文之气,持剑步步冲锋,残留此念,纵死不休!
他的背后空无一人,他的背后是那一日的六十万大军,是锦州的千万之人。
这如何不是人道气运!
这正是人道气运!
堂皇正大!
将军百战碑崩塌碎裂,化作气机,汇入了老卒残留之意志,于其背后以气机变化,将当日的惨烈画面全部展现在了每一个人的面前,所有人都看到了当年百姓求生的惨烈,看到了当年的铁骑决死之冲锋,看到了那悲愤的呐喊。
如同当年的老卒见到了今日之场景,悲愤大喊,怒吼声音震**,响彻于每一个人的耳边,悲愤之声,甚至于哽咽。
“玄甲军,杀贼!!!”
“杀贼啊!!!”
无数的人厮声呐喊,佛门怒吼降魔,道家持剑厮杀,足以震动人心。
今日是黄道吉日,本来大日耀目,万里无云。
忽有赤色星辰亮起,与白日贯虹,直冲大日而去!
灿然决绝,而那老卒残留之意志被推动在最前,怒吼杀贼,一剑起如大鹏,只在刹那扑面而来,杀气爆发,先前被凿穿的人道气运没有半点的防御,而人皇本能地后退,但是这剑太快,太狠,人道气运的庇护只在于性命。
一剑之下,那即将更换的年号被劈碎了。
老卒的意志散开了,百战碑文今日湮灭如灰尘,散落御道之上。
死寂无边。
众目睽睽之下,人皇面色苍白,跌坐在后,并无人皇的威严。
【仁德】二字的年号飘然如粉尘。
帝王的冠冕被晃动坠下,砸在了地上,十二冕旒声音清脆,在这御道之中流转着,许久不曾有人说话,仿佛这人皇的威严和人道的气运都散开了,太子恐惧不已,步步后退,跌坐在了地上,他身上的人道气运忽而显形,而后彻底地崩塌,就此烟消云散了。
……
幽厉七年初,帝行大祭,更易年号。
威武王翟持枪质问,众皆震怖不能言,帝持弓而射,未诛,言有妖氛。
太子献大鹏赋,显锦州之事,众不能言,是日更易年号曰【仁德】。
百战碑碎,有白虹贯日。
大不详。
——《帝传·三十七·幽厉》
在幽厉帝执政的前七年里面,他勤政爱民,颇为诚恳地去塑造了一个仁德君主的形象,并且渴望得到文皇帝的名号,在第七年春,不顾中州的灾厄和突然的大日昏沉,执意要进行大祭,并且志得意满,更改了自己的年号作为【仁德】。
但是后世的史家们往往不认可这个年号,并且将其称呼为【鼎武】元年。
有人认为这是在说,鼎为皇权,这一日之后,太子被废,打入了诏狱之中。
而裹挟大势而来的秦王;为天下讨贼的威武王,还有那心思缜密,既可以为了兄弟而拔剑起身,却又心思阴沉的文殇王李晖,都在这一日之后得到了踏足天下这个舞台的机会。
人皇的权势一日不如一日。
以文武争夺天下的时代来临了。
而又有人说,这是因为威武王那一枪打破了人皇不可敌的威名,失去了这样的名号,如同人皇失其鹿,而天下群雄共逐之,天下为鹿,群雄欲以其入鼎烹杀之,所以才名之为【鼎武】。
而无论如何,占据了天下八千年之久的人皇一脉失去了权威。
大地上的英雄们醒来,骑乘着烈火般的战马,按着剑要踏入这个汹涌的时代,天穹之上的十一曜星官失去了为首的太阳帝君,在数日后,十一曜之中沉睡了几千年的火曜醒来,贯穿了大日的光辉,彰显不详和动乱的异相,让星官们诧异且不解。
这是一切都迎来变化的时代,而这样的时代纷乱,变化毫无征兆,却又仿佛有一只无形的手掌拨动的一切,似乎都有规律。
而后世所有的史家都孜孜不倦地寻求一个问题——
究竟是什么使得曾经忠诚于皇帝的威武王选择了悍然拔剑,而又是什么让那付出代价逃离了京城的秦王,在最为恰当的时机重新归来,走上了时代的波涛。让一个天下逃亡的少年成为了未来的雄狮,在这一日人皇失去权威的时候展露了自己的獠牙。
有人认为这或许是英雄的宿命和时代的轨迹,充斥巧合,不需要什么理由。
有人认为是有高明的人在背后指引了这一切,但是翻遍了历史的角落,却并没能找到这样的一个人,一个神秘莫测操控一切,却又不在意名号的谋士。
Decades later, the middle-aged astrologer who smashed the tortoise shell in the Hun Tian Supervisory Office had grown old. Countless people asked him what he saw. Even when the Human Emperor at that time asked, he remained silent. Only when he died did he leave behind some words. On the day when Mars appeared for the first time, he saw words on the tortoise shell's divination, saying that the adults would change the government and the Lord would give up his merits.
It is said that the Human Emperor has lost his position.
It is said that the king and generals are causing chaos, the ministers are causing rebellion, and they are plotting against their lord, and the princes are taking over.
It is called Mars guarding the heart.
Decades before these words were written, the long-planned grand sacrifice became a joke that destroyed the dignity of the Human Emperor, and the white rainbow of Mars appeared for the first time, getting farther and farther away in the dead silence, and from afar it looked like a chess piece.
The chess piece landed gently on the board.
There was a slight sound.
People come and go, the world is like this, it is noisy and bustling, but it brings peace to people's hearts.
The young Taoist with gray hair sat under a big tree, and the chess piece in his hand fell calmly. The dragon-slaying game had been solved, but the old man was not in front of him. It was raining again in Zhongzhou, drizzling. The young Taoist stretched out his hand, caught the rain, and sensed his next move. The words of Xue Daojun were inspired, and his eyes were peaceful.
The Most High is mysterious and profound, hiding the holy and revealing the ordinary.
Be the king’s teacher and establish the way for others.
"It's raining in Zhongzhou."
“It’s still a little cold in the spring.”
The young Taoist withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and put the chess pieces away again. Behind him was a sword box, which contained simple things. The scroll in his hand contained the scenery of Zhongzhou, which was a masterpiece of nature. However, the young Taoist still borrowed a pen, and tapped twice lightly beside the bridge in Zhongzhou City. Two men, one in green and the other in white, sat under a tree and played chess.
Just as old Mr. Ao Liu said, the past of the young Dragon King and his chess servant.
The old friend is no longer seen, he is only in the painting.
"It's time to leave..."
Qi Wuhuo stood up. He had already said goodbye to the old Taoist and Xiao Mingxin. There were many people on the roadside. Zhongzhou City was slowly recovering. He saw a peddler with a broken arm still selling sesame cakes with a smile on his face. He had his wife and children helping him. He saw people coming and going. He knew that he had to live after all.
When he came to Zhongzhou, it was raining like a curtain.
And now when I leave, it is still raining.
The young Taoist carried the sword case on his back, picked up a green bamboo umbrella, opened it, and walked into the world of mortals with it. The rain was falling. Standing on the bridge, he looked back at the trees, which were still the same as before. The spring rain had already turned them green. The young Taoist thought of the poem that the old Dragon King had hummed that day, and then he hummed in a low voice as if in answer:
"After winter, the willow branches are tangled in thousands, and the flowers bloom like snow in the wind."
"Parting again and again, climbing and plucking again and again, bitterly there are not many branches and leaves of the old days left."
"After winter, the willow tree has thousands of strands of silk, and it is always a sad tree."
"People walking by pick tender branches, swallows pick light cotton, but none of them is determined by the spring in this city."
On this day, great changes began to happen in the world. The Emperor lost his power, the Dipper lost its master, and Mars was in the heart.
The young Taoist priest, with a box on his back and an umbrella in his hand, his temples graying, walked into the world of mortals.
People come and go.
The Taoist robe moved slightly, but that was nothing special.
