Fighter of the Destiny

Chen Changsheng walked into the alley. After a while, he walked out of the alley again. He stood at the entrance of the alley, looking a little confused - because he walked back and forth in the alley twice and saw many restaurants, but he did not see the tofu fish mentioned on the note.

Then wait for her to come? Standing at the entrance of the alley, he suddenly had the idea that she was teasing him deliberately in order to punish him for his stupidity? Yes, that should be it, otherwise why would a non-existent address be left on the note?

His mood was a little complicated. The snow falling from the sky gradually became heavier, and pedestrians in the streets and alleys fled away. Today, because of the feast in the palace, many people went to the Shinto place to watch the excitement. The business of restaurants and restaurants on Fusui Road was far less than usual, and it seemed even more deserted at this time.

He didn't leave, just waiting at the entrance of the snowy alley.

…

…

Lights were hung on both sides of the Shinto of the Imperial Palace, and snowflakes were falling. There were slightly fewer Kyoto people waiting to watch the excitement. Those who persisted looked at the formation of luxurious chariots from various princes' mansions and palaces. , I still feel that this trip is worthwhile. The Guangming Main Hall where the banquet was being held tonight was already filled with priests, ministers and people from various palaces and courtyards. However, the quiet palace behind the Guangming Main Hall was still as quiet as usual.

The Pope is going to attend this night banquet today. The linen clothes on his body have been changed into divine robes in advance. He is holding a ladle in his right hand and is watering the green leaves in the basin. Seeing that the green leaves are growing stronger and stronger, the old man's face shows With a pleased smile, he took the soft towel lying beside the basin and gently wiped his hands.

When Chen Changsheng came to the palace several times before, he had noticed the changes in the pot of green leaves. He did not understand that since the world of green leaves, like Zhou Garden, were stable space fragments and could not become larger, then the Pope was so Careful care of its growth, is it just to make the door into the world of Qingye more stable? Or is it that as the pot of green leaves grows, the door between the green leaves world and the original world will become bigger and bigger? If this is the case, why does the Pope want to make the door of Qingye World wider?

This matter is too big after all. Your Majesty, you don't need to think about it any more?

Mao Qiuyu stood quietly behind the Pope with a very respectful expression, without any trembling on his sleeves.

The Pope put down the towel and said with a smile: Listening to your account of the Battle of Naihe Bridge, I found that this child is more reliable than I thought. You also said that based on potential and future alone, it is really difficult to find someone better than him. A better partner, in this case, I can rest assured that I will pass on the state religion to him.

Mao Qiuyu was silent for a while and said: What your Majesty said is true, but after all, Ling Hai and Si Yuan are far superior to Chen Changsheng in terms of cultivation qualifications, and they also received your careful training back then. I think, It should be hard for them to accept this.”

The Pope walked back to the stage, took off the divine diadem from the glass throne and put it on his head, but did not pick up the divine staff that represented the power of the state religion. He said slowly: Calm me selfish, after all, the orthodox successor of the state religion is now There is only this child, and he will face the most difficult choices in the world in the future, the most helpless, and the most profound sadness. So this title, even if I offer him comfort, is what the state religion should give him. reward.”

After saying these words, he slowly turned around and walked towards the cold stone wall. As he moved forward, the stone wall slowly opened, releasing infinite light.

…

…

This is a luminous pearl that once illuminated Kyoto on the edge of Gan Terrace. It gradually faded due to years of wind and rain, so it was taken down and placed in a palace in the imperial palace for lighting purposes. Although this luminous pearl is no longer what it was originally. As dazzling as it is, it is still extremely bright for the memorial on the desk.

The Holy Queen was reviewing the memorial while listening to the sentences echoing in the hall.

The old eunuch leader bowed and stood at the bottom. In a very soft voice, he recounted the specific details of the battle at Naihe Bridge in the morning.

The Battle of Naihe Bridge between Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong took place shortly after dawn. However, both His Majesty the Pope and the Holy Queen did not have anyone come to report the matter in detail until late in the evening. This shows that it is related to the entire situation. Mainland China has a different view. In fact, these two saints don't care much about this battle. Although Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong are their most trusted juniors and from a certain perspective, they are their successors, but in their eyes, this Still a small thing.

...The Zhaijian came out of the sword pool. Dean Xiao Chen must have had a back-up plan. The Saint should have known about this matter in advance and been prepared. But for some reason, she still didn't defeat the enemy with one blow. Chen Changsheng used his injured left shoulder At the price, he forcibly took away the control of Zhaijian, and unexpectedly blocked the saint's spiritual finger. If it was just a sword discussion, it should be considered a half-win, but if it was a real battle, if it continued, he should not be able to The chance of victory was just...the saint just left like that.

After saying this, the eunuch leader looked up cautiously and then retreated to the rear.

The Holy Queen's expression did not change, and she did the same most of the time when the eunuch leader did not look up. During the battle at Naihe Bridge, the talent and wisdom displayed by Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were enough to shock most people, but not her. Only when she heard that Xu Yourong understood the Great Light Sword, she raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised.

What a stubborn girl.

She threw the memorial on the table, stood up and walked to the palace door. She put her hands behind her hands and looked at the faint light in the night sky in the distance, which should be the palace.

At this moment, Mo Yu hurried over, his expression extremely solemn, and reported to her what had just happened.

The Holy Queen looked quietly in the direction of leaving the palace, with a slight smile on her lips, but her eyes were indifferent: It's getting more and more interesting.

…

…

The Battle of Naihe Bridge has ended, but the discussion caused by the aftermath is difficult to calm down in a short period of time. The main content of the conversations among the big shots in Guangming Main Hall still revolves around this matter. With the vision and realm of these big shots, they calm down afterwards After coming down, I realized after thinking about it that Xu Yourong didn't use Tianfeng's true blood because he deliberately suppressed himself to the level of a normal person and wanted to defeat Chen Changsheng with his strength rather than his talent. But this didn't mean that they would. They believed that Chen Changsheng was defeated without force, because they also knew very well that Chen Changsheng did not use the most powerful means, such as the way he survived Zhu Xun's sword in the rain battle in Xunyang City.

At this moment, solemn and benevolent music suddenly sounded in the Guangming Main Hall. The deepest stone wall slowly opened, light spread everywhere, and the stone carvings on both sides of the hall were glowing. Everyone in the hall quickly arranged their clothes, lined up solemnly, and faced His Majesty the Pope walked into the light from the stone wall and bowed humbly.

His Majesty the Pope, surrounded by the Grand Knight and several archbishops, slowly walked onto the high platform. Taoist Siyuan and King Linghai were naturally among them. Archbishop Mao Qiuyu of Yinghua Palace stood at the back. To everyone's surprise, , the divine staff that represented the authority of the state religion was held in his hands at this time.

Without any complicated and lengthy procedures, Mao Qiuyu calmly began to read out Chen Changsheng's contribution to the national religion, from the Imperial Examination to the Tianshu Mausoleum, from Zhouyuan to Naihe Bridge this morning, and even to the new students of the National Education College - this A matter that was originally taboo in the state religion—it also became a stroke in his record of achievements.

It was originally a celebration banquet for the state religion, and it was of course celebrating Chen Changsheng's achievements. Mao Qiuyu read out these things, which everyone had thought of in advance, but what happened next, except for Mao Qiuyu and the Pope, no one People think.

After Mao Qiuyu read out Chen Changsheng's achievements, he did not directly announce the reward of the state religion to him as people thought. Instead, he calmly walked to the side of His Majesty the Pope. In everyone's shocked eyes, the Pope His Majesty stretched out his hand to take the staff and said, Bless him with this.

There was silence in the Guangming Main Hall. No one spoke because people were too shocked.

Now Chen Changsheng is the dean of the National Education Academy. He was the nephew of His Majesty the Pope a long time ago, but no one knows that after the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, the entire continent knows about His Majesty the Pope’s arrangements and knows that Chen Changsheng will become the next generation. Pope, but that is just a guess or an inference after all.

Today is the day when speculations are confirmed and inferences become reality.

His Majesty the Pope handed over the scepter that symbolized the authority of the state religion to Chen Changsheng, which also announced to the whole world that he was his successor.

The silence in the Guangming Main Hall continued. It was not strange and did not mean that anything would happen. No one dared to disobey the Pope's will here. It was just that people didn't know how to react. This is a matter of course, but compared to People imagined it was much earlier, and there was no way not to be shocked.

Chen Changsheng is only sixteen years old.

Taoist Siyuan and King Linghai, who were once considered by the entire continent to be the most promising to take over the Holy Scepter and inherit the throne of the Pope, looked extremely ugly. They thought they still had at least ten years to change. The Pope's will, but they did not expect that His Majesty the Pope did not leave any time for them at all.

They knew very well why His Majesty the Pope chose to name Chen Changsheng's successor at this time.

If it were in the past, the new sects of the state religion, like them and their supporters, might have used the excuse that Chen Changsheng was too young and needed to be observed for a few more years to delay the pope's decision. But now the mainland has a ten-year-old What does a six-year-old southern saint mean when there is a sixteen-year-old candidate for pope?

Not to mention, this candidate pope just defeated the southern saint today.

The silence in the hall continued, and gradually people felt that something was wrong. Even if people didn't know how to react, what about Chen Changsheng?

Even if he was surprised, he should stand up and thank the Pope for his blessing at this time, and then accept the blessings of everyone in the hall.

Mao Qiuyu looked back and forth in the hall, frowned deeply, and asked with some disbelief: Where is Chen Changsheng?

A hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd in a corner of the hall, and a somewhat uneasy voice sounded at the same time.

He... he... he... was too happy to eat too much at noon and had some diarrhea. He asked me to ask everyone... for a day off.

Tonight when the State Church is celebrating its success, His Majesty the Pope personally bestows the divine staff and confirms the position of the successor of the State Church... the person involved is not here?

There was an uproar in the Guangming Main Hall, and the crowd parted like water, revealing the person who had just spoken.

Tang Thirty-Six lowered his head and raised his hands.
