Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 22 Destiny
"Man of Destiny."

When the old man said these four words, he had been observing the empress's reaction, but saw that the latter had been calm all the time. Only the corners of the phoenix robe trailing on the ground swayed slightly with the wind.

The breeze blew across the numerous palaces, blowing the female emperor's phoenix robe and her beautiful hair on her forehead. In the long and narrow phoenix eyes, a chill gradually gathered, and in the depths of the chill, there was still a hint of worry.

Naturally, the old man didn't notice the queen's reaction. He just held the golden scepter and remained silent.

"Where is the man of destiny? Find him."

There was no disturbance, the empress seemed to be saying something very common, but the old man froze, his dry lips moved, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

The man of destiny, does it mean that you can find it if you look for it?

"Your Majesty, the Man of Destiny is very likely to be in Kunlun Mountain." After hesitating for a long time, the old man still spoke, but his voice gradually weakened in the middle of speaking.

The female emperor's phoenix eyes were slightly concentrated, and the brows were cold and stern, and said: "What about Kunlun Mountain?"

The old man said: "Although the owner of the mountain has disappeared, there is still a source of protection for the mountain, and there are a group of practitioners of the phaseless realm sitting in the town. I am afraid we will not be able to snatch people directly, let alone not sure about the identity of the man of destiny."

A cold air shot out from the empress' eyes, and the stars in the night sky seemed to retreat.

"If there is no chance of winning, then you can go with them to ask for someone. Over the years, you have never let me down, and you won't let me down this time, right, Mr. Bei?"

The empress' voice seemed flat, but contained an irresistible majesty, and the old man was speechless for a moment.

Holding the golden scepter, the old man bent his body forward and respectfully bowed to the emperor, saying: "Even though this old man is dying, he can still share your majesty's worries. He will use his knives and fires at your majesty's command."

The corners of the queen's lips raised slightly, and she said: "You don't have to do such a grand ceremony, speaking of it, you are still my senior."

The undercurrent beneath the calm is the most deadly.

The old man lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Your Majesty is serious. I am only a barbarian on one side, so how dare I argue with Your Majesty."

After speaking, the old man paused, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Xingluo Wuji Formation has nine formation eyes, except for practitioners who control the outer eight formation eyes and need to reach the state of no form, then The position of the center must reach the realm of Taiqing, otherwise it will not be able to withstand its heaven-defying power, and it will be eroded by the formation in an instant."

"In the present world, although there are few monks in the phaseless state, they are not extinct. Although there are not enough eight monks in the phaseless state in the empire, it is easy to rely on your majesty's reputation and orders. People...except for the mountain master, no one has reached this level, but the mountain master has disappeared."

The Empress said coldly: "Do you think that even if the Mountain Lord is not missing, he will help me?"

The old man said: "The owner of the mountain is righteous, and for the sake of the common people in the world, he will definitely help him."

Hearing this, the Empress froze, only feeling as if something had been pulled from her body, and murmured: "For the sake of the world, not for me?"

She looked at the vast night and said: "I will not believe those illusory remarks, and naturally I will not pray for miracles that I don't know if they exist. Man will conquer the sky. Since the mountain master can reach the realm of Taiqing, can't I do it?" ?”

The old man said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, are you going to attack the Taiqing Realm?"

The empress slowly closed her eyes, under the snow-white skin, there was a faintly frightening look, and she said, "What? Can't it be done?"

In front of this empress who has been in a high position for a long time and exudes supreme majesty with every gesture, the old man naturally did not dare to refute, and could only sigh softly in his heart, saying: "Your Majesty has a world-shaking cultivation, and this old man naturally believes in His Majesty, but The conditions for hitting the realm of Taiqing are extremely harsh, otherwise, after the fall of Emperor Qin, only the mountain master has reached this realm in the past 1000 years, and besides, the true phoenix blood in your majesty has not yet fully fused, so I am afraid that he will hit the realm of Taiqing at this time."

The old man didn't continue talking, and that's all he said, and the benefits and benefits of it can only be weighed by the empress herself.

On the other hand, the empress did not get angry because of the old man's unequivocal words, but instead had a look of sadness on her pretty face.

But she saw the empress gently waving her hands, her slender jade hands were particularly graceful, and she said softly: "It's okay, I have my own sense of discretion."

The old man respectfully said: "Since Your Majesty has some measure, it is too old to be careless."

The empress nodded her head slightly, and slowly opened her eyes, watching the stars in the night sky moving up and down, as if only the seven most prominent stars never changed their trajectory, the mysterious night sky was like a huge black hole, Devoured countless stars.

After an unknown amount of time, the empress said again: "Han Yu sent a ghost corpse to Daming Palace, what do you think?"

The old man said: "This person's name is Huanyang, and he is one of the Nine Netherworlds in the ghost organization. General Han's conduct is amazing, and he is the best in the Qianyuan realm. It is reasonable to kill this beast."

The female emperor frowned, and said: "Old Bei, when did you become such a flattering person, you know, that's not what I want to hear!"

Hearing the empress's voice had become full of anger, the old man buried his head a little lower, and said: "According to General Han, he beheaded Huanyang in front of the gate of Suzaku General's mansion. As for why Huanyang He appeared there blatantly, and General Han couldn't tell why, either Huanyang was really tired of living and just wanted to die, or General Han was lying."

Obviously, no one would wish for death wholeheartedly. A sharp look flashed in the empress' beautiful eyes, and she asked, "You mean Han Yu is lying?"

The old man bowed his head and said, "I dare not speak nonsense."

The Empress said, "But it doesn't matter."

After hesitating for a moment, the old man said: "I've heard ghosts are famous, since Huanyang will appear, he must have accepted the assassination mission, and the assassin must often haunt the gate of General Suzaku's mansion, and the identity of that person must be extremely important. That's why Huan Yang wanted to capture and kill this person even though he was risking it."

The coldness on Empress Ruyu's skin became deeper and deeper, and she said, "Why did he lie?"

The old man said calmly: "Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit, and the world is bustling for the sake of profit. What all sentient beings want is nothing more than a word of profit."

"I treat him well, why would he lie to me?"

"General Han's righteousness is so generous to Yuntian, it is impossible to deliberately deceive His Majesty, there should be something hard to hide."

"The whole world belongs to me, so what's the unspeakable secret that I can't tell?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. General Han must be loyal to His Majesty. It's just that this person is extremely stubborn. If he doesn't want to say something, it will be unheard of if he is killed."

"Notify Chaotian, thoroughly investigate the traces of ghosts in Chaotian City!"

"Yes, follow His Majesty's order!"

The empress and the old man just talked in this way, and after being reprimanded by the empress, the old man no longer had extra perfunctory words, and just said what was important.

The old man said again: "I still have something to report to His Majesty."

The Empress asked, "What's the matter?"

The old man said solemnly: "Recently, the old man watched the sky at night and performed psychic techniques and discovered that the ruins of the ancient battlefield seem to be opened."

The empress raised her interest for the first time and asked, "When will it open?"

The old man said: "Two years at the latest."

The Empress asked again: "Can you guess the exact location?"

The old man said: "It is not yet clear."

The empress thought for a while, and said: "Find it out as soon as possible, this matter is of great importance, and the forces of all parties will definitely be aware of it, so they must not let them take the initiative."

The old man said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The female emperor's phoenix eyes shone slightly, and said: "As far as I know, there should be a place where the bones of the ancestor dragon are buried in the ruins of the ancient battlefield. You must get the essence and blood of the ancestor dragon before others."

Hearing this, an imperceptible smile flashed across the corner of the old man's mouth, and he immediately said seriously: "Although the Zulong has been reduced to a dry bone, it will definitely become the target of all parties fighting for it, but there are a few great generals who are intimidated by His Majesty's reputation. If you go out on horseback, the essence and blood of Zulong will definitely be captured."

There was a flash of murderous intent in the eyes of the empress, and she said quietly: "If anyone dares to offend my heavenly power, I will kill him."

The old man bowed his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The empress glanced at the old man, and said again: "Tomorrow I want to meet a member of the Kunlun Mountain sect, do you want to come together?"

The old man's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "I will not participate in the important things His Majesty said."

The Empress smiled coldly and said nothing.
