Chapter 144: The Magnificent Tang Dynasty
Wanwan brought Shi Feixuan to the largest courtyard in the prince's mansion. The little radishes that were lying all over the yard had been taken back one by one by Zhangsun.
If it were in the past, Changsun would probably not be able to bear the two trips, as childbirth has always been very damaging to the mother. Fortunately, the goddess was merciful and gave her a magic medicine. Let alone carrying a few children back and forth, running around the mansion was not a problem for her.
As soon as Shi Feixuan entered the courtyard, she was dazzled by the jewels and gems that filled the yard.
When she looked closely, she saw not only priceless treasures, but also many rare flowers and plants worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Even she couldn't help but sigh in her heart at Li Ye's generosity.
For the sake of this goddess, they probably took out all the treasures and gold and silver in the family treasury and let them choose.
I just don't know where these rare treasures came from?
Thinking of the many fleeing civilians she had seen along the way, Shi Feixuan frowned slightly. She could not feel the slightest bit of appreciation or joy for these wealthy scenes.
Wanwan and Shi Feixuan have been rivals for many years. She could tell what this person was thinking at a glance. She sneered and said, "Master, you really care about the people... You are so concerned about the country and the people, why don't you give money to help them?"
She pretended to think: "If I remember correctly, Master Fairy's clothes are worth more than ten taels of silver. Why not pawn them and use them to help others? It will also be enough to buy a lot of meals!"
Shi Feixuan stopped walking, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as still water, almost burst into flames: "You...!"
She exhaled slowly, her eyes shining brightly, and the sword in its sheath hummed softly.
She looked at Wanwan and questioned, "Who caused those disasters? How could you not know? War is inevitable, but what about the others? Your sect has killed innocent people, causing tens of thousands of people to be displaced. Now... you have no regrets at all, and even talk about those who are in danger of losing their lives in such a joking tone!"
If she hadn't considered that she was still a guest in someone else's home, Shi Feixuan would have wanted to draw her sword and fight this man to the death!
Facing her question, Wanwan didn't care: "I don't know how to do it, and what does it matter if I know? Master, I am a disciple of the Demon Sect. I don't do bad things. Do I have to learn from you to worry about the country and the people?"
She shook the tassel bracelet on her wrist. The tassel made of soft gold sparkled in the sunlight. "Besides, this cruel killing of innocent people... I didn't have time to do it."
She seldom left the Yingui Sect and spent most of her time practicing the Heavenly Demonic Art. Without diligence, no matter how high her talent and understanding were, it would not be enough.
If we talk about killing innocent people, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling can barely be counted, but she has not succeeded in killing any of them yet. These two people are as slippery as fish.
If standing idly by and watching is considered as harming innocent people, then she has indeed harmed a lot of innocent people.
Besides...
Wanwan glanced at Shi Feixuan, who had a sullen look on her face, then turned around and continued walking deeper into the yard.
If her crime was truly unforgivable and she had no chance of turning things around, the goddess would have crushed her to pieces the moment she saw her. Why would she test her and promise to be by her side?
Things in this world are not black and white. Someone who is your enemy today may be your friend tomorrow. So why do you say that good and evil cannot coexist?
After staying by the goddess' side for so long, she also understood how the world would change in the future. Li Yuan was bound to become emperor, and Li Shimin was definitely the next emperor. Moreover... Li Yuan would not be the founding emperor for long.
The goddess favored Li Shimin and performed two miracles for him: one was freezing the river in early autumn and late summer, and the other was a good harvest in the fields after the war.
If this isn't preference, then what is it?
The goddess personally escorts him, this is the true destiny.
Cihang Jingzhai, the right way, huh.
In front of the real gods, it's nothing special.
If the outer part of the courtyard was normal except for the jewels, then the moment she stepped into the center of the courtyard, Shi Feixuan's eyes, which had regained their calm, suddenly widened, filled with shock and astonishment.
She felt... the vast aura of heaven and earth!
Even though she was close to the realm of clear sword heart, she could only rarely sense the pure breath of heaven and earth from the boundless universe. She often looked at the vast sky and the vast land, and sighed in her heart that the sky was too high and the earth was too vast.
Perhaps, only by reaching the Grand Master level can she enter the realm of true harmony between heaven and man.
Just like Senior Ning.
But now, she actually felt it!
She seemed to be no longer in the human world. Above her head was the real sky, and beneath her feet was the real earth. They were breathing, as if they had a pulse, and she could hear very subtle beating sounds; they were communicating, and there was a breeze blowing from all directions, and the wind was filled with the whispers of heaven and earth communicating.
Blurred, chaotic, and overlapping.
Shi Feixuan couldn't hear clearly, not a single word, but she seemed to hear something...
She pretended to listen, listening very carefully and seriously.
Wanwan could not sense the world she saw, but she was very familiar with this state.
The Saint of the Demon Sect swung the tassels on her armlet and whispered: "What good luck..."
The goddess is indeed merciful and treats all living beings equally.
It seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a moment had passed. Shi Feixuan woke up from that vast realm. Her energy was even stronger, as if she had truly entered the realm of sword-heart enlightenment.
The saint of the righteous path and the saint of the evil path are once again standing at the same starting line.
Shi Feixuan clenched the sword in her hand, and her strong internal energy circulated in her dantian. She looked at Wanwan, a little hesitant: "You, too..."
Wanwan just snorted mockingly, then her expression changed quickly, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude: "If you want to thank someone, then thank the goddess for her mercy."
Shi Feixuan finally met the legendary goddess.
Under the blue sky, brilliant stars flowed down from the sky, swirling and gathering together like a flower, and on the "flower" was a person sleeping.
Or rather, a god.
Wanwan stepped forward and bowed with a smile: "Goddess, Wanwan has brought the person here."
Shi Feixuan began to feel nervous.
She rarely showed such obvious emotions, and she was never nervous even when she first met Senior Ning.
The goddess sleeping on the flower cluster heard this and glanced sideways.
Shi Feixuan was startled and stood straighter unconsciously.
Those were a pair of eyes brighter than the galaxy. When she saw them, she thought of the starry sky she had seen in her childhood, a sky full of stars that she would never see again after she grew up.
...Is this the goddess born from the stars?
"Shi Feixuan."
The goddess was calling her name.
Like Wanwan, Shi Feixuan felt a sense of flattery in her heart, for unknown reasons and out of control.
She performed a Taoist ceremony, which is the etiquette used when worshipping heaven and earth and worshipping gods, and said solemnly: "Master Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai, I have seen the goddess!"
Tarona looked carefully at the woman in Taoist robes below. She was obviously different from Wanwan beside her, and they had two different kinds of beauty.
Wanwan was beautiful in a way that made her look evil. Because she had practiced the Great Magic of the Heavenly Demon, her every frown and smile was filled with demonic charm. People with weak minds would easily lose their minds because of her words and smile when they saw her.
Shi Feixuan was beautiful with an air of righteousness and a fairy-like aura. When she was not smiling or moving, she was like a jade statue that needed to be enshrined on an altar. Whenever I saw her, I would silently reflect in my heart whether I had done anything wrong.
They are both very beautiful and unique. As soon as you see them, you will know who they are.
Wanwan follows her heart and does bad things openly, and she doesn't bother to hide her identity.
Shi Feixuan cares about the world. She will be soft-hearted and help those in need, and will help those who are injustice.
All good.
As a little girl, don't ask for too much.
Seth: …
Who do you think is not a junior?
Tarona waved her hands nonchalantly and half-raised her body. The bed formed by starlight moved down, and now she was at eye level with Wanwan and Shi Feixuan.
The silver-haired witch waved to the little girl who was seeing her for the first time. The little girl hesitated and took a few steps forward.
Shi Feixuan didn't dare to look any further, she lowered her eyes and asked, "What do you want, goddess?"
"It's not so much an order as an instruction." The goddess said, "I just want you to take a message to Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi."
Shi Feixuan intuitively felt that this sentence was extremely important, so important that it could directly determine the future direction of the world.
Wanwan stood aside, lowered her eyes and listened.
The goddess didn't let her go, which means she was able to listen.
The goddess said, the words are like a motto: "The destiny has been determined, you can follow it."
Wanwan already knew this, and when she heard it again now, she was no longer as surprised as she was at first.
Shi Feixuan was different. She didn't know Li Shimin well enough. Even if the person who said this was a real god, it couldn't completely eliminate her doubts and worries.
"Please forgive me, Goddess."
She first apologized, then asked firmly: "The world is in turmoil, with countless people vying for supremacy. How can the goddess be sure that Li Shimin is the man of destiny? How can she be sure that he can bring peace and tranquility to the people of this world?"
Wanwan looked at her in surprise. As expected of her, she was so brave that she dared to question the goddess.
Wanwan, who had traveled around the stars in the universe, would not ask such a question. Everything a god like this said must be true.
Furthermore, after her observation over these days, she found that Li Shimin was indeed much better than others and was a rare talent.
To put it bluntly, he was born to be an emperor.
Wanwan immediately wrote a letter back. The description of the goddess in the letter was only a few sentences, but it was enough. Her master would understand.
The outcome is about to be decided, the Demon Sect must make a choice as soon as possible. The Goddess has given the Demon Sect an opportunity, and they must seize it!
Who among martial artists doesn’t want to break the void?
Whoever holds destiny is the master of fortune!
As for the various calculations in the past, the goddess doesn't care, and the future emperor will care even less.
She believed that the changed Demon Sect would form a good cooperative relationship with Li Shimin, and at the very least, they could maintain superficial peace.
And the right way...
Wanwan glanced at Shi Feixuan who was determined to get an answer, and smiled sarcastically in her heart.
No emperor would trust a sect that claimed to choose wise rulers on behalf of the people of the world. The more capable the monarch was, the more he would try to weaken Cihang Jingzhai.
Li Shimin was such a capable king.
Tarona had anticipated Shi Feixuan's questioning. She sat up slowly, stretched out a finger, and tapped Shi Feixuan's forehead very quickly and slowly.
It was clearly Shi Feixuan who had her forehead tapped, and Wanwan, who was standing close by, also saw it.
They saw the future, and the flashing images formed a dreamlike future -
A dynasty called the Tang Dynasty arose.
This dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous. The fields were covered with golden leaves, the streets were bustling with people, and the court was visited by people from all nations.
Everybody is laughing, everybody is dancing, everybody is singing!
They laugh at the fact that they were born in the Tang Dynasty, they dance about the fact that they were born in the Tang Dynasty, and they sing about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
The name of this dynasty was the Tang Dynasty. The king of this dynasty was revered as the Heavenly Khan by the defeated foreign races, and the people of this dynasty were proud that they were born in the Tang Dynasty.
With fireworks and dancing lanterns, they celebrate this year's peaceful and abundant harvest; with lotus lanterns filling the river, they pray for good weather and good harvest in the coming year.
The Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, this glorious dynasty, this powerful dynasty, this dynasty destined to be recorded in history.
The emperor who created this boundless prosperity was named Li Shimin.
So - who else is more qualified than him to be the man of destiny?
Shi Feixuan was in a trance for a moment, then bowed again: "Indeed, it is gone."
Shi Feixuan left. She would bring the goddess' words back to Cihang Jingzhai and back to the right path.
Wanwan was also dazzled by the dreamlike future. She wanted to see such a prosperous era with her own eyes.
Tarona fell back to sleep.
Seth asked: "Miss Ta, aren't you worried that someone among them will stop Li Shimin?"
Tarona is certainly not worried: [They won’t.]
Shi Feixuan's words have certain weight, and the righteous path that Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi belong to is indeed wholeheartedly for the people of the world. As for their ulterior motives, how can a person be without selfish desires?
As long as it does not affect the peace of the world, the future Li Shimin will turn a blind eye to them, but if they go too far, even with a grand master in charge, he will find ways to make the righteous bow their heads voluntarily.
When it comes to the art of ruling an emperor, Li Shimin is also an outstanding graduate.
However...
You reminded me.
Before leaving, she would perform another miracle for Li Shimin to intimidate those who were restless.
And the Li family really needs to produce a grandmaster.
The Great Witch lowered her eyelids and asked her temporary partner for his opinion with a smile: [Seth, what do you think of... Li Lizhi? ]
Genius must be cultivated from an early age.
It's normal that the daughter of a man of destiny is also a genius.
