When the beautiful woman left with a large group of maids, Qu Haijiao hung his head and tried his best to call out: "farewell to your mother!"
After a long time, until the subtle shaking of his body gradually stopped, he raised his eyes, his old face shook hard, and a cruel look flashed across his eyes.
"Adoptive father."
A little eunuch standing in the distance came over and said to Qu Haijiao indignantly, "the empress of Qing imperial concubine is getting more and more excessive. How could she have such a status as she is today without your support these years?"
It is impossible for any eunuch who has been an official in the palace for many years to say so. However, the little guy, who was only 14 or 15 years old, obviously didn't care about anything. Instead, he really felt aggrieved for Qu Haijiao.
Qu Haijiao looked at him and said, "Guiwu, how many years have you been following me?"
The little eunuch was stunned, and then respectfully said, "since I was sent into the palace at the age of five, I have been following my adoptive father for ten years."
After a pause, he added, "even Qu Guiwu was named by your adoptive father."
"Ten years." Qu Haijiao was silent for a moment, and then asked, "do you know, before you, I have a few adoptive sons?"
This time, the little eunuch named Qu Guiwu did not answer.
As an eunuch in the imperial dynasty, especially Qu Haijiao, an old eunuch with high position and weight, mostly accepted several sons. One is to cultivate their own forces, a few eyeliner, convenient handling in the palace. Secondly, I want to pass on my own mantle, so that I can't inherit what I have learned.
Because most eunuchs will not have a chance to continue their blood unless they enter the palace after they are quite old. Therefore, they will select some qualified eunuchs from the newly admitted eunuchs, and recognize a close relationship. They are both sons and apprentices.
Qu Haijiao, an old eunuch like Qu Haijiao, who has been in the imperial palace for many years, can't have only one or two working sons.
But Qu Guiwu had never seen anyone else, as if his adoptive father's son had only himself. Although he knew it was impossible, he never asked the question.
"You are my eighth son." Finally, Qu Haijiao gave the answer, and the meaning behind the answer made Qu Guiwu feel cold.
Qu Haijiao took a deep look at him, "do you want to know where your seven brothers have gone in front of you?"
Qu Guiwu did not speak.
He has some small body, shaking like chaff at the moment. If he didn't know that his adoptive father hated kneeling most, he would like to kneel down and beg for mercy.
"The first three, because of their good strength, were sent by the empress of the Qing Dynasty to carry out tasks and died in other people's hands. The last three died in some struggles in the palace... "
Qu Haijiao looked at Qu Guiwu with slightly turbid eyes: "as for the last one, he is just like you, with excellent talent and smart people. If there is no accident, I will surpass my realm in the future and become the most powerful minister in the palace. It's a pity that, like you, he made a mistake and was killed by me
Hearing this, Qu Guiwu could no longer resist the fear in his heart. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "father, forgive me! The child knows it's wrong
Qu Haijiao didn't look at him. Instead, he said sadly, "I'm old, and I can't break through to Mingyou for a long time. I don't have the time to cultivate a son."
Speaking of this, Qu Haijiao suddenly turns around and reaches out to help Qu Guiwu up.
Qu Guiwu's legs have been unable to use force, the weight of the whole person is on Qu Haijiao's hands, dare not look at his adoptive father's eyes.
"This is your first mistake, and your adoptive father can forgive you." Qu Haijiao's voice was gentle, and he could not hear any joy or anger. However, at the moment of saying the last word, he suddenly turned sharp: "you and I are slaves in the palace! You can't talk about the master and son behind your back. If there is another time, the adoptive father can only send you to accompany your seven brothers
Qu Guiwu was scared to tears, and warm liquid flowed out of his body.
Qu Haijiao did not detest him. He held him in his arms, patted him gently on the back and said, "be a slave, you must be careful, be more careful Be more careful. Because only care can survive, and nothing in this world is more important than living. "
"Remember?"
Qu Guiwu Ya Guan trembled, but he still insisted on answering: "boy Baby Remember
Qu Haijiao chuckled miserably, released his hand and said kindly, "go and wash it. I'll meet you later. Follow me to see the world."
Qu Guiwu, who was granted amnesty, walked away in a rolling manner.
Qu Haijiao was still standing in the same place. His white eyebrows were swinging in the wind. He raised his head and looked at the highest palace in the distance. He murmured, "madam, your majesty is about to break the threshold. What are you worried about?"
With a slight sigh, Qu Haijiao walked slowly to the palace.
……
In the carriage.
Lu Li and Ge Xinyue face each other.Neither of them spoke.
However, Lu Li sometimes opens the curtain and looks at the huge palace gate which is getting closer and closer, and makes a meditation.
Ge crescent sees this, smile way: "very nervous?"
"Elder sister Ge laughs. It's the emperor of the holy Kingdom, and one of the most powerful masters of Mingyou in the whole world. How can we not be nervous?" Lu Li didn't hide it and said with a very frank smile.
"Although your majesty controls the whole kingdom of devouring heaven, it is not one of the most powerful compared with this world." Ge Xinyue said slowly: "there is still a God on Mingyou. You can only call it heaven and man when you step into it. The word "the strongest" is easy to say. But if you want to put it in front of your name, how many people in the world can do it? "
Lu Li seldom heard Ge Xinyue say so many words in one breath. He couldn't help but say: "it seems that elder sister GE has her own stubbornness in practice."
Ge Xinyue looked at him with a smile, "if you don't even have the spirit to climb on the road of warrior, how can you talk about fighting with heaven and earth?"
Of course, Lu Li recognized the meaning of her ridicule, but there was no feeling of embarrassment. On the contrary, after thinking for a moment, she seriously asked, "sister Ge, what kind of scenery is the land of seeing God?"
He has seen Mu Ning Qiu open up the Youfu and promote Mingyou.
There are too many descriptions of the world's tacit master's realm. On the other hand, Lu Li only heard his name and never saw anyone talk about it.
It's hard to avoid curiosity.
"See God..." Ge Xinyue hesitated for a moment, took a deep look at Lu Li, or opened his mouth to explain: "do you know the existence of the nether world?"
"Of course, when people die, they will return to the nether world."
Lu Li nods.
He knew this for a long time, and he had a little idea to explore the place similar to the "Underworld". After all, in this world of martial arts and Taoism, the legend of the nether world is not necessarily false. Human beings can even control the yuan God. Of course, the return of the soul after death is not a rumor.
But later, he found that even if he reached the realm of brightness and seclusion, he could only "see" the nether world, but could not have any influence on it. Gradually, he abandoned the idea of exploring the nether world.
"The world is very vast. The Zhenwu area we are in is actually just a huge continent. Once upon a time, a strong warrior crossed the whole Zhenwu area, went to the outside world and brought back a message. "
Ge Xinyue said slowly: "in addition to Zhenwu, there are the four seas royal court. Some of them claim to be people in the upper world. The nether world is one of the upper realms. In a more popular way, the strong one in the upper world has the existence of "God."
"The so-called" seeing God state "is the cultivation of martial arts that can be equal with these strong men."
Ge Xinyue said here, did not continue to talk about it, but looked at Lu Li and said: "is it a sudden feeling of despair?"
Lu Li came back to the gods and was silent for a while before he said, "that is to say, our martial arts practitioners are only the starting point of those" gods "
Ge Xinyue nodded and acquiesced in this statement.
When she learned the truth, she was shocked beyond words. Those who have not been brave enough to maintain their ideas for many years.
After decades or even hundreds of years of painstaking practice, the warrior has achieved the goal of seeing God, which is just an equal starting point with the so-called "upper bound" people.
Think about it and you can see how desperate the news is.
