The 74th dragon scale (6)

Linglong is playing with xiaoping'an. She is full of interest in this child. Isn't it amazing that a child who shouldn't have been born in this world was born without any external interference?

Maybe it's because Princess Xu's soul was swallowed by her, and the mother and son are connected. Even if she only stayed in her mother's belly for six months, Xiao Ping'an is closer to Linglong than others. He seems to only trust her. As long as he sees Linglong, he is very relieved. Because he is cute and clever, exquisite is not annoying, just interesting.

The dragon is omnipotent. There is only one thing she can't do in the world, that is to create the soul.

Therefore, those creatures with souls in the barren sea need her to inject the collected beautiful souls into them in order to become fresh. Xiaoping'an obviously shouldn't be born. He is a soul that appears out of thin air. Even Linglong has rarely seen such a situation. She can easily destroy a world, but she can't create a world at will, because she can't create a soul.

Not only can she not, but also the God and the way of heaven in any world she has seen.

The soul is such a wonderful thing that no one can create or control. So Linglong cherished the beautiful soul she got. She ate very little. Most of them were injected into the creatures of the wild sea and became her people. It was so sweet and delicious food!

How did xiaoping'an appear out of thin air? A child who should not exist.

Is this the so-called miracle? Because he loved the child deeply until his death, but he felt guilty because he couldn't bring him to the world. As a result, the child who should have died with his mother survived unexpectedly.

It's true that his nephew looks like an uncle. Xiao Ping'an doesn't look like imperial concubine Xu or the emperor. Instead, he looks like Xu Chengbi. When they stand together, they seem to be carved out of the same mold. No one will believe it if it's father and son. Maybe it's because she looks like Xu Chengbi. Xiao Ping'an slowly has a good face for Xu Chengbi. Although she doesn't have the close trust in Linglong, she is at least willing to let Xu Chengbi hold and lead.

Xu Chengbi was really careful with the little nephew. He was afraid to drop it in his hand and melt it in his mouth. He even spoke softly to Xiao Ping'an for fear of frightening the child. The appearance of Xiao Ping'an dissipated Xu Chengbi's hatred and hostility. He regarded Xiao Ping'an as the future of the girder. He wanted to lay down this land for him and bring back the things that should belong to Xiao Ping'an.

In fact, when his sister entered the palace, Xu Chengbi took a negative attitude. He didn't dislike the emperor, but thought it was meaningful to compete with so many women for her husband? What's more, my sister didn't enter the palace for the sake of the queen. No matter how nice the name and noble the status of the concubines are, they are just concubines. They don't even have the qualification to stand side by side with the emperor. As Xu's daughter, my sister clearly has a better choice!

But the emperor insisted that his sister finally chose to enter the palace. Xu Chengbi knew that her sister did not love the emperor, but just to preserve the Xu family and him.

Imperial concubine Xu is not favored in the palace. If she were not the daughter of the Xu family and her brother was a famous general, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't even go to her bedroom once more, and she would be happy to be quiet herself. Not long after entering the palace, Princess Xu found that the emperor was narrow-minded, and she always reported her vengeance. In particular, she often showed her dissatisfaction and disgust with Xu Chengbi. Princess Xu became more and more worried. She was also loved and grew up by her father and brother at home. She knew books, was polite, gentle and beautiful, and married into an ordinary family. That must be a good wife's help praised by everyone.

But in the royal family, that's not the case. The member of the Standing Committee of imperial concubine Xu Wan admonished, but if the emperor could listen, how could he be so afraid of Xu Chengbi?

Linglong didn't say yes or no to Xu Chengbi's plea. She was very calm, because for her, human life and death were irrelevant. There were too many such scenes in her endless life, so she asked, "what benefits can I get from helping you?"

Xu Chengbi was silent for a long time and replied: "... If I can do it, I'm willing to let the girl send me."

Linglong shook her head: "if I just want a servant, there will be countless people coming, not short of you."

When Xu Chengbi looked at her, Linglong smiled again and stretched out a finger. From his handsome face, he scratched it to the position of his heart. There were still her paw prints, as if this man was already her possession“ Of course I can help you. I can give it to you if you want national peace and peace, good weather or immortality. But I also have requirements. "

She poked Xu Chengbi's heart with her finger: "I want your soul."

Xu Chengbi was stunned.

"Soul?"

"It is natural for people to die and live. Some people in the world will not live after death, but become a part of the world. However, it is also common for some people's obsession to break through the limitations of heaven's Tao and laws."

She stroked his face with fascination, "such a firm and unyielding soul should be well collected."

She has seen many miracles, and most of those who can create miracles are human beings.

For example, xiaoping'an.

Linglong is really interested in this little soul. She just wants to tear it apart and study what's going on. Maybe she can create a new soul out of thin air in the future, and then be self-sufficient without going hungry again. Isn't it beautiful?

This dangerous idea lingered in her mind. After all, it was not a happy thing for the Dragon girl to be often hungry. It was just that she played with the little thing for many days and couldn't figure out what was different from ordinary people. However, Linglong could even give a gentle answer: it was mother's love and Qiuhong's loyalty, There are countless maids and eunuchs guarding, as well as immortal hope, to give birth to such a soul that should not exist.

This is not a chemical equation. There are traces to follow. Linglong can't understand it. This self-sufficiency routine has failed.

She has tried many times. Her dragon scales can be mimicked into lifelike human beings. They laugh and scold, express their joys and sorrows no different from ordinary people, but they have no soul. They are just a skin bag with an empty surface. They are not beautiful at all.

The beautiful soul is luminous. Linglong likes shiny things most, so she doesn't like the dolls she creates with dragon scales, and even rarely uses them. After all, life without soul and no light is worthless in her opinion.

Xu Chengbi obviously doesn't understand the meaning of Linglong's words, but he knows that he has what she wants. That's good. That means he's still useful, not waste.

"As long as you want, as long as I can give it."

Obviously, Linglong likes this kind of human beings who love themselves physically and mentally, and she is not stingy to protect them. Princess Xu wants her brother to live well. She can give it. Xu Chengbi wants national peace and security, and she can give it. As long as they give their soul to her as a price, won't they be more carefree and happy than the world?

For the first time, she held Xu Chengbi's face and kissed him on the forehead with a little pity, just like coaxing a child: "as you wish."

Xiaoping'an stumbled over and hugged Linglong's calf. Obviously, he was unhappy to see that they were so close.

Qiu Hong fled with him for nearly three years without suffering. She was afraid that xiaoping'an's existence would be known. She always hid the child on her body and only exposed her mouth and nose for him to breathe. Therefore, Xiaoping's road is unstable until now. Because she can't make a sound and doesn't like to talk, he often raises his head with his exquisite calf to express his needs, Although he doesn't understand the principle of creating the soul, xiaoping'an is different. Linglong is naturally more patient with him than others.

Who told the child to be good-looking and clever and not noisy?

She loosened Xu Chengbi, picked up Xiao Ping'an and put it on her lap. She said to Xu Chengbi, "let the wind out and say... God has the virtue of living a good life and sends rain to benefit all the people, except the capital."

Xu Chengbi was surprised.

Linglong smiled and rubbed Xiaoping's face. There was no meat, but it was soft and easy to pinch: "natural disasters are frequent. Isn't the emperor addicted to monks and Taoism all day? He may not believe this. He just wants to find an excuse to throw the pot. How can he cause this mess? How could he make a mistake? How could he be a fool? So it's all Providence. I don't blame him. "

But now God has clearly said that I will rain for you, but not for the capital. What do you mean.

Who lives in the capital? Who offended God?

"As for the Duke of Chuhe, the Marquis of Huai'an and others... 'if treacherous officials are difficult to control, swear to die the side of the Qing monarch'." Linglong said slowly, "others are disorderly officials and thieves, but you, Xu Chengbi, are not. When you raise your arms, there will be countless people willing to follow, not to mention... And him. "

She patted xiaoping'an's head. The little guy foolishly raised his hands, hugged Linglong's hand that patted his head and rubbed it. It looked like dependence. There was something in his mouth. It was too vague. Linglong and Xu Chengbi didn't hear clearly.

Xiao Ping'an is the son of imperial concubine Xu and the emperor. He is a serious prince. Now the emperor has no children at his knees. What he finally conceived is also gone in the endless struggle.

What else to worry about?

"Let's go. Three days later, there will be showers, which is also the beginning for the Xu family to clear their grievances."

Xu Chengbi took a deep look at Linglong, but Linglong suddenly smiled at him: "don't go yet, can't I kiss you again?"

Xu Chengbi's handsome face instantly dyed thin red, but it was Xiao Ping'an. He seemed to understand what "pro" meant. He grabbed his exquisite hand and pasted it on his face. But for the first time, his relatives couldn't, his mouth was close, and he looked clumsy and lovely.

This is really the most lovely kind of human cubs Linglong has ever seen. She immediately left Xu Chengbi behind and drove him away. Xu Chengbi reluctantly looked at the big one and the small one. Although she wanted to stay with him, he still had a lot of things to do after all.

When Xu Chengbi left, Xiao Ping'an was relieved to look like a little adult. He was so old, but Linglong said he was taking him. In fact, he put him aside and played occasionally. When it comes to taking care of him, isn't there still a servant?

But xiaoping'an is kissing her. Linglong also guesses that it may be because he swallowed the soul of Princess Xu. Maybe it is because of Xiaoping's extraordinary that he can detect it.

In three days, the news of enough rain spread to the capital. But before the emperor could be happy, he heard the sentence "no to the capital". He immediately became angry: "who is bewitching the public? Catch him! "

The eunuch who reported back and forth trembled: "back to the emperor, it's spreading outside and outside..."

Perhaps only he knows whether the emperor believes in God and Buddha, but if the rain does not fall on the capital, it must be the ruling ruler who angered heaven, that is to say, the emperor's virtue does not deserve to be the emperor!

Although he is unwilling to admit that he is a confused king, still less willing to admit that he has done many stupid things, and he is helpless to the current dilemma, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to give up the Dragon chair under his ass - how can he be willing?

At that moment, Longyan was furious and immediately sent someone to investigate the source of the rumor.

However, before we could find out the results, it rained heavily the next day, and the cracked land for several months was finally moistened. The emperor's face was extremely iron blue for no other reason - it was raining outside the city, but the capital seemed to be forgotten by heaven. The rain stopped suddenly outside the city wall. At this moment, the emperor felt his scalp numb.

The emperor is unkind and can be attacked.

He will be the target of public criticism. The accusations he tried hard to escape will still fall on him.

After he ascended the throne, not only did he not fulfill his ambition, but he was constrained everywhere. How could the emperor bear it! Concubine Chang of the harem heard about it and felt strange. Is there really a god Buddha in the world?

Unfortunately, she is a concubine and can't go out of the palace. Otherwise, she really wants to witness this spectacle with her own eyes.

It rained heavily for three days and nights, and the victims cried together. At this time, Xu Chengbi was honest and cheered - it was the aspiration of the people and the return of all!

Knowing that Xu Chengbi was not dead, he secretly had an extra army in his hand, and even rebuilt the Xu family army. Finally, the emperor's legs softened and couldn't stand any longer. He collapsed in the Dragon chair and couldn't get up for a long time.

After that, he seemed to know that his death was coming. He didn't care about anything else. He didn't even go to the early Dynasty. The memorials in the imperial study piled up into a mountain. The urgent documents flew like snowflakes, and the Emperor didn't care. He wants to indulge in pleasure in the last days of his life. What does other people's life or death have to do with him?!

Xu Chengbi promulgated new laws in all the places he occupied, especially in dealing with the first disaster. In addition, he reduced and exempted the taxes of the people for two years, and asked people to build water conservancy and dig canals to connect the world's water systems and prevent natural disasters.

These projects also gave the displaced victims a chance to eat. For a time, everyone knew General Xu and scolded the emperor on the Dragon chair as a faint king.

The emperor turned a deaf ear to this. He fell asleep madly, drank wine, enjoyed music, appreciated the beauties, and even danced with the beauties with great interest until the Xu family army invaded the capital. When he heard the noise outside, he thought of the man who made him jealous and disgusted, and remembered that his father had ordered him to reuse Xu Chengbi and trust Xu Chengbi before his father died, If you can't suppress your inner doubt and anxiety, you can take his right to keep his name, and never kill him.

He didn't listen to his father, so he ended up like this.

Now think about it, the emperor suddenly realized that no one had told him the truth for a long time. It made him fall in love with Chang poetry and paintings at first sight. Seeing him was either cynical or strange. Other concubines were obedient to him because of his increasingly violent and strange temper. At this time, the emperor remembered that it was Xu Chengbi's sister.

Princess Xu... What's her maiden name again? The Emperor didn't remember. He only remembered that she was a very beautiful and gentle woman, but just because she was too gentle, she was boring, unable to please or flatter. Every time he saw him, he had to say a lot of things he didn't like to listen to, so he gradually didn't go to her, even because he transferred his disgust with Xu Chengbi to Princess Xu. Now think about it, it's ridiculous.

He is not as good as Xu Chengbi. He was doomed long ago.

When Xu Chengbi entered the palace, the emperor had committed suicide on the main hall, wearing a Dragon Robe and a crown. He had an imperial edict on his hand, which not only returned the innocence of the Xu family, but also sealed Princess Xu as the Queen - unexpectedly, he did not put his original match in mind, let alone Princess Chang.

The first emperor had few sons, and only the emperor lived to adulthood. The Imperial Palace was full of chaos, and few concubines were born with dragon seeds. The only princess Xu who had the hope to have children for him committed herself to seeking a way out for Xu Chengbi. What's funny is that the emperor left such an imperial edict before he died. Why?

Is he guilty? Regret?

But what's the point?

At least it is of no value to Xu Chengbi, because his family is gone.

The world thought Xu Chengbi would ascend the throne and change the dynasty, but unexpectedly, he did not replace him. Instead, he pushed a little baby over two years old onto the Dragon chair. The ministers thought they understood, so they wrote to persuade Xu Chengbi to be the Regent.

Who doesn't understand this routine? When the Regent of two years, when the little emperor is almost the same, and then let the little emperor meditate, can he succeed to the throne with integrity!

But they really think too much. Xu Chengbi doesn't want to be an emperor at all, and he doesn't hide Xiao Ping'an's identity. With him, no one dares to act rashly - General Qiu defected before, and then recovered Xu Jiajun. The big fist is the boss. The ministers will never see the arrogance and difficulty of the emperor in power. One is more clever than the other. They want to be a man with their tails, Where dare you treat a moth?

Even if Xu Chengbi didn't break his arm, he wouldn't be an emperor. He didn't want this seat. He just wanted to continue to protect this land as Xu's family. Now, he will be loyal to his nephew to repay his sister's kindness.

Although Xiao Ping'an had never been an emperor, his silence tempered by running around made him look particularly calm and potential in the eyes of ministers. No one knew that he was scared to death. Even when he was held by Xu Chengbi to Linglong, he ran to her crying and shouted, "cool! Cool! "

Linglong poked him on the forehead: "who are you calling? I'm not your mother. "

But he didn't listen. He still called her cool. He climbed on her with his limbs. After successfully climbing up, he tightly got into Linglong's arms, grabbed her clothes and shivered. It was obvious that the wave had frightened him just now.

Linglong thinks xiaoping'an is fun. Her head is hidden and her ass is exposed outside, just like a small ostrich.

She reached out and pinched the little guy's ass. she was light up and down. There was no two liang of meat, but there was a little more meat in this place.

Xiaoping'an moved and worked harder to drill into her arms. Xu Chengbi looked angry and funny on the side and wanted to take the little guy out. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Linglong ruthlessly patted him aside: "be honest with me and sit down!"

Xu Chengbi went to sit on the side honestly. Xiao Ping'an had drilled enough in Linglong's arms before secretly revealing a small hairy head. Today, all this is too terrible for him. A lot of people he doesn't know kneel and kowtow to him and call him the emperor. Where does he know what the emperor is and the emperor can't eat!

Linglong followed xiaoping'an's back and noticed that the young soul in this small body was gradually stabilized. It's amazing... I really want to know how to do it. If she relies on hope and obsession, Linglong may never be able to achieve it, because she has no hope and obsession. Without these emotions, she can't create her soul.

Eh, but now think about it, it seems... A long time ago, she used her own dragon scales to make a doll and lost it in a world. When the doll dies, according to the degree of power loss, some dragon scales will turn into light and disappear, and some dragon scales will return to the barren sea, but it seems that there was an exception.

One of the dolls she made gave birth to a soul.

When did it happen again?

Ah... I can't remember.

Linglong scratched her face and was very distressed. Xiaoping'an saw her and learned from her to scratch her face. Obviously, he was also very distressed. Linglong couldn't help laughing when she saw him. Xiaoping'an also laughed foolishly. Xu Chengbi was happy when he saw that they were happy. Although his face didn't show, his eyebrows and eyes were very gentle.

At this time, an internal servant came in and reported that the empress was making a scene in the harem, arguing to see Xu Chengbi.

Linglong glanced at Xu Chengbi. Xu Chengbi was also surprised. He didn't do anything to the concubines in the Imperial Palace, but he didn't bother to take care of them. As long as they were honest, they could stutter.

Linglong asked, "are you sure you're right? Is it the empress, not the empress Chang? "

The internal attendant was stunned and then replied, "Miss Hui, it is the empress who wants to see General Xu, not empress Chang. Empress Chang Fei copied Buddhist Scriptures for the late emperor in her palace and never came out. "

Linglong immediately praised: "it's so touching. She's really a good woman who values love and righteousness."
