Chapter 760 Wenchang, actually I am not Ziwei
Gu Xu clearly felt the passing of the soul power in his body.
The fierce confrontation with the counterattack force of the Heaven and Earth Avenue left him at the end of his strength, and he could still hold on for an hour at most.
There is not much time left, and he must seize this last moment to explain important matters clearly and ensure that everyone performs their duties, so that his departure will not disrupt the foundation of the wilderness.
Although it is said that "everything is empty after death," he still hopes that even if he is gone, Dahuang can continue to develop in a good direction along the direction he planned.
"Call Luo Chuan, Wang Jian, and Li Yun for me. I have something to say to them." He ordered softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Shunxi bowed deeply again.
When he turned to leave, he unconsciously covered his face with his sleeves, quietly hiding the tears in his eyes and the sobs in his nose.
…………
The concubines temporarily retreated, and the three courtiers entered Gu Xu's palace one after another.
The first one to come in was Wang Jian.
He looked at the young master on the couch, his eyes falling on his face that was pale and weak due to the backlash, and there was worry and uneasiness in his eyes.
He bowed his hands and saluted, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Majesty."
"Prince..." Gu Xu coughed lightly, stretched out a hand, and pointed to the drawer of the desk with difficulty, "Take it out... from the drawer."
Wang Jian immediately stepped forward and gently opened the drawer, only to see a few books with simple bindings lying quietly in it, exuding a profound and heavy atmosphere.
He was startled for a moment and looked up at Gu Xu, his eyes full of doubts.
"This is... the Taoism that I have compiled one by one into the true meaning of several major powers in recent months." Gu Xu closed his eyes slightly, as if he was gathering strength, and then slowly opened them again, "I have compiled the true meaning of the great powers of heaven and earth. All my feelings are inside. I don’t want them to disappear with my death.
"You are now in charge of the core formation of the 'Qingdu Illusion'. After my death, these secrets will be placed in the 'Qingdu Illusion' so that everyone in the world has the opportunity to understand it. I believe that there will always be people who are destined to understand it. Pass them on and prevent them from being lost to time.”
When Wang Jian heard this, his body trembled slightly.
He couldn't help but think to himself: Could it be that His Majesty had foreseen today's fate a few months ago? Otherwise, why would you compile these precious Taoisms one by one in advance and put them in the drawer? Could all of this have been arranged by His Majesty after careful consideration?
But looking back on His Majesty's behavior in the past few months, everything was as usual and his behavior was calm. He did not look like someone who knew he was about to die.
Is he worried that he will behave strangely before the enemy comes and lead to instability in the country?
As Wang Jian thought about it, tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably.
He slowly knelt down and bowed his head to the ground, his voice trembling slightly due to the suppressed sobs: "I... obey your order! I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
"Don't be so sad," Gu Xu smiled softly, "Master, I will go to another world soon to teach your Master Tieniu a lesson. Do you have anything you want me to convey to you?"
Wang Jian didn't speak, he just buried his head lower and his shoulders couldn't help shaking.
When he raised his head again, tears were already streaming down his face.
…………
After Wang Jian left, Luo Chuan followed him to the palace.
As soon as he entered the door, he quickly walked to the couch, and then fell to his knees with a plop, his voice trembling with sobs: "Emperor!"
He lowered his head and held the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.
He was always known for his stability, but at this moment, he was like a helpless child unable to control his emotions, tears falling down his cheeks and dripping on the cold floor.
"Emperor..." He said intermittently in a hoarse voice, "You once promised that you would take the old ministers with you to fight to the upper world, kill Supreme Haotian, and take back the heavenly palace that belongs to us... Your wish has not yet been fulfilled Done, how can you leave me alone?
"Emperor, I am incompetent! Thousands of years ago, it was you who protected us from wind and rain, and now you are still protecting us from powerful enemies... I am extremely useless. I can't bear even a little burden for you. I can only watch you suffer. But there is no way... "Emperor, how can I live without you in this world..."
At this moment, scenes from the past flashed through Luo Chuan’s mind like a revolving lantern——
On his way to Chaoyang City, the capital of Zhao State, he was blocked and robbed by a group of bandits;
The emperor used a cart pulled by "Qilin" to pick him up from the residence of Marquis Zhen Shaofu in Guan Nei, saying: "The ten-year period has come, and I sincerely welcome the young master of Ziwei Pavilion to return to the clan";
The emperor stood on the edge of a towering cliff, looking at the stars in the sky, and spoke calmly and firmly of his ambition to "make everyone in the world like a dragon";
……
The emperor went against the will of heaven, came back to life, and strode back to earth from the top of Kunlun Mountain;
The emperor used "Sun and Moon to Replace the Sky" and burned Emperor Tianxing to ashes. He was covered in blood, but he still calmly picked up Emperor Tianxing's Tai'a sword;
The emperor, wearing a crown and military uniform, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor at the Circular Mound Altar on the outskirts of the city,
The golden "Haotian Ship" cuts through the sky, carrying his former comrade "Tianji Xingjun" and countless precious resources in the Lingxiao Realm, slowly descending into the wild world...
……
"Stop calling me 'Emperor'."
At this moment, Gu Xu's voice came softly, instantly interrupting Luo Chuan's chaotic thoughts.
Luochuan was stunned for a moment and raised his head blankly, his mind full of doubts.
What does the emperor mean by this?
Could it be that the emperor suddenly didn't like this title?
Before Luo Chuan could understand the meaning of this sentence, he saw Gu Xu raising his weak hand and tapping his forehead lightly.
There were no earth-shattering visions or dazzling lights and shadows.
Luo Chuan didn't seem to have any external changes.
He was just dazed for a moment, as if something deep in his soul clicked and suddenly shattered.
Deep in the memory, the dazzling figure of Emperor Ziwei thousands of years ago actually faded away silently at this moment.
Luochuan suddenly realized that the emperor seemed to be different from his previous understanding.
He is not the perfect, righteous being that he has always been.
He also has many shortcomings common to ordinary people.
He is selfish, he is selfish, he is lustful, he is willful, he is sensitive and suspicious.
For the sake of profit, he would use the magic of cause and effect to personally end the life of the demon fairy wife.
He would be helpless and furious when faced with Taishang Haotian's pressing steps.
He is always wary even of his most trusted "star kings", leaving a mark of loyalty deep in their souls...
……
Today, that mark quietly disappeared.
Luochuan only felt that his past life seemed like a long dream.
At this moment, he finally woke up from his dream and saw everything that was real.
Like looking at flowers in the mist or looking at the moon in the water.
"Gui Hai, you are a good person," Gu Xu said softly with a faint smile on his face, "from now on, just be yourself, and there is no need to live for other people's ideals."
