Chapter 283 His Majesty’s Cauldron
On the top of the mountain… on the top of the mountain…
When Xu Zhenguan heard Zhao Duan's answer, even though she was prepared in her heart, she still felt distracted for a moment.
Looking through the inner treasury book of the Dayu royal family, who can stand on the top of the mountain for the first time practicing the Martial God Picture?
She could hardly think of it.
The first thought is absurd.
But then she thought about the cruel reality that the dragon soul left behind by her ancestors of the Xu family appeared in the body of the other party's little divine chapter...
The surprise and shock turned into an indescribable emotion.
Sad?
Lost?
Jealous?
Aggrieved?
Or is it more of a doubt?
At this moment, the empress seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in her heart, and she was silent for a moment and speechless.
Zhao Duan carefully observed Zhenbao's expression, and he was a little uneasy at this moment. He admitted that telling this fact was an element of gambling.
But he also wanted to take this opportunity to try to figure out why he and the "God of War" were so compatible.
Just because he is a time traveler? So the soul is special?
Of course this is an explanation, but Zhao Duan always feels that it is a bit far-fetched.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
Zhao Duan lowered his eyebrows and carefully probed, trying to determine the empress's mood at the moment.
He was even prepared for her to get angry and call her nonsense.
But when Xu Zhenguan came back to his senses, he just stared at him with deep meaning and said nothing. It was not until Zhao Duan's back was covered with white sweat that he said quietly: "I really want to doubt whether you He is the heir of my Xu family."
Zhao Duan squeezed out a stiff smile: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me!"
Fortunately, Xu Zhenguan did not really speculate like this. He shook his head and said:
"But there is no one in your situation among the royal family."
Zhao Duan swallowed and said cautiously:
"I have a guess."
"Oh?" Xu Zhenguan became interested, "What's your guess?"
Zhao Duan analyzed seriously:
"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible that your son-in-law can be considered a member of the Xu family?"
Xu Zhenguan:? ?
The empress was stunned for a moment and did not react. When she tasted the taste, her beautiful eyes were filled with evil, and she said coldly:
"Do you want to die?"
This guy is still glib at this time!
It's not enough to get a bargain, you have to go even further!
Zhao Duan was greatly frightened, and launched a silky combo: "Your Majesty's magnificence is unparalleled, better than a sinking fish and a geese, and the moon is shy of a flower. If we hadn't seen you on the top of the jade mountain, you would have met under the moon on the Yaotai! I can't find it for a while. Self-restraint and nonsense!”
Xu Zhenguan put on airs, and after hearing this set of compliments, his expression softened slightly.
I also savored the poem "If I hadn't seen you at the top of the jade mountain", I wondered where this disciple had copied it from.
If the other ministers dared to talk nonsense, the empress would have slapped them with a big blow.
But Zhao Duan has done similar behavior several times, and it becomes natural as a habit, so he won't get really angry.
Instead, he subconsciously thought:
Could it be that the dragon soul really contains some residual spiritual spirit of the ancestors?
Seeing that the country was in danger and all the descendants were being slaughtered, that's why he was so partial to the man named Zhao and wanted a great-great-grandson as his son-in-law...
Pooh!
Xu Zhenguan took a breath and extinguished this inexplicable thought.
His expression changed several times, and the look he looked at Zhao Duan became more and more unkind.
I almost got carried into a ditch by this guy!
After thinking about it, the most likely possibility is luck...
Xu Zhenguan suddenly thought of a possibility:
Perhaps, the dragon soul has been wandering around the capital, and Zhao Duan attracted the dragon soul to attach to him because his talent, talent and wisdom were superior to ordinary people.
Because the dragon soul already existed in his body, and he later practiced the Martial God Diagram, it was because of the dragon soul that he was able to stand next to Emperor Taizu - this makes sense!
After all, such things as luck do exist.
And Zhao Duan's performance in the past six months has proven that this son is a hidden dragon. He was favored by the dragon soul and was chosen as the heir, but he could barely make it.
After all, no one has stipulated that this thing left by Grandpa Taizu will only choose blood heirs.
The inheritance of "Martial God" is not transmitted through blood or sex...
She immediately talked about this possibility, and the more she talked about it, the more likely it became.
"..." Zhao Duan fell silent after hearing this.
He wanted to say that it wasn't like that... Dragon Soul appeared later, but he couldn't explain it.
After thinking for a while, he tried: "Your Majesty, why am I so beloved..."
Xu Zhenguan shook his head and said: "If you think about it, before Emperor Taizu rose to power, he was just a talented warrior. At that time, there were many contemporaries who were similar to Taizu, or even far superior to him. Later, it was only because of the fate of heaven and earth that he rose..."
No, the more you talk about this, the more certain it is... Zhao Duan said curiously: "Luck is the key? I looked through Taizu's biography and I have indeed seen similar statements. Some people say that Emperor Taizu was in the past. After traveling around the world for many years, he has gathered the destiny of an emperor."
He wanted to dig around and find other answers.
Xu Zhenguan glanced at him, hesitated slightly, and said:
"This is right or wrong. There are more detailed records in the royal family. It is roughly that Emperor Taizu was walking on foot and stepped into the Mubei Forest. It seemed that What kind of opportunity did he get, and then his cultivation level increased greatly? He even got some extra help from there, which also laid the foundation for the future of Dingding Tianxia. "
Zhao Duan was surprised. This was a secret that had never been circulated to the outside world:
"Mubei Forest?"
Xu Zhenguan seemed to know what he was thinking, and shook his head: "I don't know the specifics. Emperor Taizu rarely mentioned this experience during his lifetime. Six hundred years have passed, and many things that happened back then have long been unexamined."
However, Zhao Duan thought of the scene in his dream where he and Lao Xu were at the end of the snowfield, confronting powerful beings in the vast forest, and asked curiously:
"Didn't the royal family go to do research?"
Xu Zhenguan was silent for a moment, as if he didn't want to mention it more, and just said:
"There are also mysteries outside the territory of Dayu. This is not what you should understand right now."
Well...the strength is despised...
Zhao Duan was disappointed.
There is a vague guess that the reason why he is so close to "Old Xu" is probably related to Mubei Forest.
In fact, he even guessed whether Lao Xu was also a time traveler.
But no matter judging from the biography or the many details of the history of the Yu Dynasty.
He saw almost no obvious traces of "travelers".
The empress, on the other hand, thought she had found the reason through brainstorming.
Although he still felt aggrieved, his expression felt more relaxed.
"Perhaps, things are indeed as your Majesty guessed,"
Zhao Duan borrowed the donkey from the slope and said seriously:
"But neither the dragon soul nor Tai'a should have anything to do with me. Your Majesty, please take the dragon soul away and return it to its original owner."
Xu Zhen looked at him with a very resentful look in her eyes:
"I have to be able to take it away."
"Ah?" Zhao Duan was confused.
Xu Zhenguan pointed at his lower abdomen angrily and said:
"The dragon soul has been lingering in your sea of qi for many days, and it has also absorbed the nourishment of your qi, and it no longer wants to leave."
What she was embarrassed to say was that since Long Po only chose Zhao Duan and not her.
Even if the empress cuts off Zhao Duan, the dragon soul will most likely disappear into the world again, nowhere to be found, waiting for the next "master".
As for forced detention...she just tried it.
But perhaps due to "inheritance restraint", this dragon soul is obviously not powerful, but she is helpless.
The current situation is:
If you want the dragon soul to not disappear, you can only foster it in Zhao Duan's body.
"This...how can it be like this?"
Zhao Duan was also stunned. This was a turn that he had not expected.
His head felt heavy for a moment. After thinking about it, he tentatively spoke again: "Your Majesty, I still have an idea, but I have to give you permission before I dare to say it."
Do you have any dirty thoughts again?
Xu Zhenguan stared at him with a sneer, already well aware of some of his dirty thoughts.
The empress smiled half-heartedly:
"You wouldn't think that it's dual cultivation."
You actually guessed it... Zhao Duan hurriedly explained:
"I was just thinking that this dragon soul seems to have the ability to temper Qi. If Your Majesty needs it, I don't mind being a 'transit'..."
Good one doesn't mind...
Xu Zhenguan looked at him jokingly and said quietly: "You don't care even if your realm is stagnant or even if you are sucked into medicine by me?"
Zhao Duan raised his head suddenly with a surprised expression: "Your Majesty, this..."
Xu Zhenguan suddenly sighed softly and said helplessly and tiredly:
"You don't think that the so-called dual cultivation is just something in your mind.
Only when the realms are roughly similar can it be considered beneficial to both parties. If one party is stronger than one or even two realms, it will become a furnace for the weak.
Otherwise, do you think that such evil magicians would rob the furnace? "
This touches a blind spot in my knowledge... Zhao Duan stammered:
"But the Prajna Bodhisattva in Jizhao Temple said..."
Xu Zhenguan looked at him and sneered:
"So, do you really think that the old woman Prajna came to you to practice dual cultivation because she has good intentions for you?
The Buddhist method is indeed much better than the evil way, but if the difference between the two realms is too big, even if you don't want it, If your life is sucked dry from you, it will also make your realm stagnant or even regress.
More importantly, it will drain your potential and nourish the Bodhisattva alone. "
Zhao Duan was frightened for a while, thinking that the old woman was indeed uneasy and well-intentioned.
With a thought in his heart, his acting skills exploded again. There was a struggle on his face, and then he gritted his teeth, as if he had made an important decision.
Zhengse said:
"Your Majesty treats your ministers like a soldier of the country, and I should repay you as a soldier of the country. If your Majesty needs it, I am willing to make a furnace for your Majesty!"
