Chapter 255 Target Divine Chapter Realm
Our royal family...
In the carriage, Xu Zhenguan stared at him quietly for a while, then ignored this "slip of the tongue" and continued:
"Buddhist and Taoist fighting has a long history. It is a tradition between the two sects of sorcerers to compete for the top sorcerers in the world, and to encourage both sides to compete and avoid slackness.
Each other sent the younger generation of disciples from the Shenzhang Realm to fight with each other. Because fighting in the past would attract the attention of practitioners all over the world.
Therefore, there is a tradition that the winner of the fight accepts the challenge from the monks who are watching. Well, the euphemistic name is asking for advice and guidance. "
After a pause, Xu Zhenguan said with some emotion: "Six hundred years ago, Taizu founded the country. At that time, there were many strong practitioners in the court.
Emperor Taizu did not want to see these two factions overshadow the royal family.
Therefore, he ordered the young monks to challenge the winner after a fight and defeat him...
Therefore, the Buddhist fight once became an occasion to highlight the heritage of my Xu dynasty. The "Ten Constant Attendants" worshiped by the royal family at that time all had the ability to compete with the Buddhist and Taoist families. "
Damn... Is Lao Xu so domineering? He suppressed the two factions to death...
Well, it's not surprising. After all, a country is built with force... Zhao Duan looked full of longing and followed:
"What happens after that?"
After that... Xu Zhenguan sighed softly and said helplessly:
"Unfortunately, the glory of our royal family did not last long before it declined. After the generation of Emperor Taizu, the practitioners of the royal family, whether they were the children of the royal family or the worshipers, continued to decline.
In the past six hundred years, although amazing people would appear every once in a while, they would never have the glory of the past. "
Well... Zhao Duan pretended to be sentimental and nostalgic in cooperation.
Not surprising.
In his opinion, the way the "God of War" is passed on is inherently backward.
One relies on royal blood, and the other relies on support and worship.
Needless to say about the former, it is difficult for an organizational form such as a family to maintain sustained glory, not to mention the fact that the royal family is fighting among themselves and is also focusing on governing the country...
As for worship...the core of selection is not talent, but "loyalty", and the scale is small and the personnel are small.
This is destined to be impossible to compare with Tianshi Mansion and Shenlong Temple.
As a descendant of the royal family, Xu Zhenguan recalls the glory of his ancestors, and then thinks about the decline of Ouchi worship today, which makes him feel sad.
"Does Your Majesty want to restore the glory of our ancestors?"
Zhao Duan asked softly, looking eager to give it a try: "If I hurry up and advance to the divine medal before that, is it possible..."
The empress came back to her senses, gave him a funny look, and said:
"Are you still thinking of offering sacrifices on behalf of the royal family and challenging the winner?"
Zhao Duan's eyes were sincere:
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even if I die."
Xu Zhenguan's heart suddenly felt warm and her eyes softened:
"It's good that you have this heart, but even if you are very talented and have just entered the Divine Chapter, you will not be able to compete with the two groups of geniuses."
Of course Zhao Duan also knew that these words were very true.
They are both divine chapters, but they also have high and low levels.
Even though the Empress once proudly claimed that the inheritance of "Martial God" was the most powerful cultivation path in the world, and everyone at the same level had the advantage, she did not expect that Zhao Duan could do anything.
"So, there's nothing we can do." Zhao Duan looked disappointed and became dramatic.
As a subordinate, you should seize every opportunity to show loyalty, especially when you don't have to actually do it.
He also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he could not do it, and he had to show his attitude.
Seeing his depressed look, the empress suddenly felt amused and joked casually: "It's not without a chance... Hehe, some genius warlocks, under extremely harsh conditions, can summon gods to come and temporarily obtain powers far beyond their current level. strength……
Although the Martial God is a martial artist, he also has similar skills. In the past, Taizu refined a breath of black and yellow energy into a dragon soul, which was the prototype of his own Martial God. In every battle, the dragon soul would join him and look down on everything...
However, after the death of Taizu, the dragon soul disappeared, and maybe it turned into a "God of War". If you can summon it, it must have similar effects. "
Dragon soul...Zhao Duan felt his heart skip a beat, and he forcibly resisted the urge to look inside his dantian.
Therefore, the empress does not know the existence of dragon soul.
Little did he know that it was accidentally swallowed by him.
"Haha... Your Majesty is joking."
Zhao Duan didn't know how to respond. Fortunately, Xu Zhenguan didn't pay attention and teased with a smile:
"If anything else, if you can be recognized by the true meaning of Taizu's martial arts and can use the sword that Emperor Taizu used in the past, or you can barely stand a fight, I will keep it in the palace.
However, it is extremely difficult for this kind of magic weapon to recognize someone.
Even if I am a descendant of the Xu Dynasty, few people can pick it up. Only the most talented and beautiful people or every emperor can drive it.
It's being enshrined... At least Eunuch Hai can't even pick it up. Do you want to give it a try? "
Taizu's sword... the weapon held by Xu Zhenguan, the daughter of the third emperor, during the Xuanmen coup... It was also with this magical weapon that she swept thousands of armies...
Zhao Duan swallowed and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."
The empress smiled and stopped scaring this guy.
He waved his hand to stop the carriage and said:
"In short, you should concentrate on breaking through the state of mind and strive to enter the divine chapter as soon as possible. If things don't go your way next, you can go back by yourself."
Why don't you send me back, or take me to the palace to sleep for a night... Okay, I'm thinking shit... Zhao Duan got out of the car respectfully.
A eunuch at the back handed over the reins of the horses following the carriage and said with a smile:
"Master Zhao, please."
Well, that's why I prepared a mount from the beginning... Zhao Duan exhaled silently.
Thinking about what happened tonight, he smiled and said: "Thank you."
…
…
Crossroads.
Zhao Duan watched the empress's chariot return to the palace, then rode horseback toward home alone.
At this moment, the night was already dark and the streets were extremely cold, with only the bright moon in the sky for company.
Zhao Duan turned the corner and suddenly saw a commotion ahead.
It was actually a large group of forbidden troops escorting a group of people slowly walking along the long street.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army, wearing armor and swords, held torches and were full of murderous intent.
He happened to bump into Zhao Duan, who was riding alone.
The leader of the forbidden army shouted loudly: "Who is in front?! Stop quickly! I want you to stop!"
The rest of the Forbidden Army also drew their swords one after another, with a continuous clanging sound, and the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
Zhao Duan didn't stop, and rode straight into him. When he entered the range of the fire, his eyelids drooped, and he casually threw away his badge: "Whose general are you?"
The leader of the forbidden army was stunned for a moment when he saw his appearance.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand to catch the flying token, and then his expression suddenly changed.
While waving his hands wildly, signaling for his men to put away their knives, he put on a smile and held the token in both hands:
"Master Zhao, it's me. We met in the hall not long ago."
"Oh, you are the deputy general of the Jinwu Guard..." Zhao Duan nodded and said curiously:
"You are..."
Vice General Ma Dui smiled and said: "We are ordered to arrest the collaborators..."
He explained quickly, and the spy had read out many names in one breath.
Xue Shence immediately mobilized his troops and generals to seize him urgently.
Lieutenant General Ma's target, coincidentally, was one of those young generals in the Shenji Camp who were driven out of the camp along with the "young master" that day.
I don’t know what this person thinks. Instead of hiding in a low profile, he shows up in a high profile. He can only say that he is familiar with the principle of "darkness under the light".
"Tonight, the young master happened to gather these people to have a drink, so we simply arrested them all at once and went back to interrogate them slowly."
Lieutenant General Ma explained in a low voice.
Zhao Duan was stunned: "What's going on?"
