Fighter of the Destiny

Chapter 672 One thing

After Chen Changsheng said these four words, the announcement of the decree naturally could not continue.

Old Eunuch Lin looked at him quietly and said, Do you think I dare not kill you?

Chen Changsheng said: On the third day after the new king ascends the throne, he sends people to kill the future pope. This will be recorded in the history books.

Old Eunuch Lin still looked at him quietly and said in a calm voice: You are His Majesty's beloved junior brother, and you also have many supporters in the state religion. As you said, if I really kill you, His Majesty will be sad. Kyoto There will be chaos, and in order to calm the situation and give history an explanation, I will probably be sentenced to death.

Chen Changsheng said: But you will still kill me.

Old Eunuch Lin said with an indifferent expression: Because you have already expressed your attitude and I feel that you are in danger, then since you are unwilling to surrender, you have no choice but to die. Your Majesty has ascended the throne and needs to shock the world. Anyone who thinks about the Demon Queen Everyone must die, no matter who it is, as for my personal ending is not important... because I am a foolish and loyal person.

Foolishness doesn't mean you have the right to be unreasonable, nor does it mean you need to be respected.

Chen Changsheng turned around by the window, and the cold autumn light fell on the hospital uniform, which was very similar to starlight.

He drew his sword and put it upside down in its scabbard.

His hands were steady, his breathing was the same, and his voice was the same: My master is leaving the palace at this time?

Old Eunuch Lin frowned slightly, not expecting that he could still maintain a clear mind at this time.

Have you ever thought about why he didn't kill me at the Tomb of Heaven's Book three days ago, and why he never came to see me at the National Education Academy?

Chen Changsheng looked at Mr. Lin and said, Because he doesn't dare to see me, and he's not sure whether he can kill me quietly.

…

He was raised by me. If I asked him to die, he should die honestly. This is his duty.

In the quietest palace away from the palace, a voice as cold as autumn echoed.

If this is your duty, senior brother, why don't you dare to go to the National Education Academy to see him?

The pope’s voice also rang out.

Why don't I dare to see him? I just don't want to. Because of his stupid thoughts, he said some inappropriate words after seeing me, which made me angry.

Shang Xingzhou is no longer as ordinary as he was in the past twenty years. He still wears Taoist robes, but no one would regard him as an ordinary middle-aged Taoist.

He has black hair, with an occasional trace of frost on his temples. He has a handsome face, and his skin is as smooth as a newborn child. He has a calm and indifferent expression, elegant and heart-stopping. He is obviously older than the Pope, but it looks like he is older than the Pope. He is still extremely young, and his body seems to be filled with endless energy.

The Pope looked at him and said calmly: Really? Then why are you coming to see me, senior brother? Aren't you afraid that I will say something inappropriate and make you angry?

Shang Xingzhou said: I came to see you to discuss the inheritance of my teaching.

The Pope said: That staff?

Shang Xingzhou said: Not bad.

The Pope confirmed what he meant and asked after a moment of silence: Why?

Shang Xingzhou said calmly: Tianhai is dead, what's the use of keeping him?

The Pope slowly shook his head and said: He has read through the Three Thousand Taoist Canons since he was a child. He has excellent talent for practicing Taoism and his conduct is impeccable.

Shang Xingzhou looked at him quietly and said, Junior brother, you should know very well that the inheritance of the national religion has nothing to do with talent. Otherwise, how could it be your turn to succeed?

The most important consideration in the inheritance of the state religion is how to make the state religion survive for thousands of generations. It really has nothing to do with the talent of the candidates and is only related to interests.

Back then, when Li Gong was choosing the next generation of pope, Shang Xingzhou, who was far superior in terms of level of strength and far superior in means and ambition, took the initiative to withdraw from the competition because of this consideration.

It was like this thousands of years ago, and it was like this then, so how can it be an exception now?

Thinking about what happened back then, the Pope was silent for a long time and suddenly said: His bloodline obviously comes from the surviving family line.

Since we don’t talk about talent and Taoist heart, but only about interests, let’s focus on this.

Yes, I once promised that monk that as long as the great event succeeds, Chen Changsheng will serve as the representative of the surviving family and succeed the Pope, and they will give up the fight for the throne.

Shang Xingzhou said expressionlessly: But that night, Tianhai shattered his thoughts and destroyed the passage that it took hundreds of years for the surviving family to open up. Even if they got the true inheritance of the Holy Light Continent, they wanted to break the crystal again. It will take at least several decades, so why should I fulfill my promise and let that useless little guy be the pope?

After hearing this, the Pope's expression did not change and he asked calmly: Then who do you want to be the Pope?

Shang Xingzhou said nothing and clapped his hands.

Clear applause echoed in the quiet hall.

A moment later, accompanied by very light footsteps, a girl walked in from outside the hall.

That night, this girl appeared in front of the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

She is very delicate, pretty, and cute, but there is no concealment of nobility and arrogance between her eyebrows.

Pastoral Wine Shi, a young and mysterious one of the six giants of the state religion, even the Queen of Tianhai has a different attitude towards her.

The Pope looked at her appearance and seemed not surprised, and asked: Are you sure you must be the Pope?

Mujiu Shi smiled and said, I am a very calm person and I don't have the confidence to compete with Xu Yourong for favorability in the hearts of the southerners, so I will not go to Nanxi Zhai to become a saint.

She smiled very freely and generously, and spoke very proudly and domineeringly.

But Chen Changsheng is nothing, why should I let him be the pope?

His Majesty the Pope looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

Mu Jiushi's smile deepened, not like a smile that a girl of her age should have.

The words she spoke were also deeper, like handwriting carved on wood. They were definitely not words that should be spoken to His Majesty the Pope.

Didn't you say that... you are going to die? She looked at His Majesty the Pope and said with a smile: Even if you don't want me to be the Pope now, you can't stop me after you die. Why not do it now and I will become the Pope in the future? Empress Zong, in gratitude for your kindness, will naturally leave a way for Chen Changsheng to survive.

That night in front of the Tianshu Mausoleum, Queen Tianhai asked the Pope why. The reason the Pope gave was very clear - he was old and was about to die.

This should be true, but the words Mujiu Shi said were no longer direct, but rude.

Shang Xingzhou raised his hand to signal her to stop talking. He looked at the Pope and said, I have already completed one of the two things I want to do in the rest of my life.

What is mentioned here is naturally the death of Holy Queen Tianhai.

The second thing I have to do, junior brother, you also know very well, that is to destroy the demon clan and fulfill His Majesty Taizong's legacy. You also agree with this, and that's why you joined forces with me in this matter. You know better and want to To destroy the demon clan, we need to unite all the forces that can be united. His Majesty Taizong completed the alliance between the demon clan and the human race. The sky and the sea merged with you to form the north and south. Then it was naturally the turn of the east and west to merge. So many years ago, you She began to cultivate pastoral wine poetry, and when she was five years old, she was given the position of archbishop of Xuanwen Palace, so why can’t she be the pope?”

The Pope wanted to say something.

Shang Xingzhou said: I know that there has never been a case of a woman serving as the pope before, but if you could support Tianhai to ascend the throne of Emperor Zhou, you should be able to support her. Junior brother, don't forget, she represents the entire In Daxizhou, the position of Archbishop of Xuanwen Palace is not enough. We must pay more to see the coming of the era of true unification of the human race.

The Pope was silent for a long time, put on his divine crown and robe, and walked toward the stone wall deep in the temple.

The stone wall gradually parted, and holy light burst out from inside, shining on Pastoral Wine Shi's face, with such a proud smile.

Shang Xingzhou glanced at her.

Pastoral Wine Shi stepped forward and held the Pope's arm.

The Pope stopped and glanced at her.

She looked back with a sweet smile, with no intention of letting go.

The Pope said nothing and walked towards the stone wall.

Over there is the Guangming Main Hall.

Hundreds of bishops were waiting quietly in the temple.

Tens of thousands of priests, teachers, students, and cavalry were waiting outside the temple.

The Pope has reached the highest point of light.

Pastoral Wine Poetry stood beside him.
