Chapter 258

After the war, Shushan was filled with a strong atmosphere of blood, and blood slowly flowed down the stone steps.

The trees in the mountains seemed to be covered with a layer of blood at this moment.

There are countless broken limbs, broken arms and hideous corpses scattered all around.

"grown ups!"

Xu Chong stepped in front of Shen Du, carrying a huge knife, and casually wrapped the wound with a cloth.

Because he had just finished killing someone, he still exuded a strong killing intent, and the official robe on his body was covered with blood stains, emitting bursts of fishy smell.

"There are a total of 360 disciples and elders of the Shushan Sword Sect, and all of them have been executed."

"These people are really stubborn, and there is not a single one who surrendered."

He also felt a little sad.

These Shushan disciples were quite different from the Jianghu people he had seen.

Although there are many people in Jianghu who value righteousness and sacrifice their lives, people are people after all, and how many people can be calm in the face of life and death.

The Shushan Sword Sect, from the elders to the disciples, all fought until the last moment.

Therefore, their six doors suffered a lot this time.

Shen Du got up slowly, pulled out the Xueyin Kuangdao stuck in the rock, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's go and see the inherited sword stone of the Shushan Sword Sect."

In the entire Shu Mountain, the only thing worthy of his heart is this sword stone.

Throughout the rivers and lakes, there are countless swordsmen who want to climb the mountain to see it.

The back mountain of Shushan Jianzong,
The elders stationed here had already died in battle, so it seemed extraordinarily quiet.

On the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, there was a large bluestone over one foot high, covered with sword marks.

"This is the rumored sword stone?"

Looking at the blue stone in front of him, Shen Du didn't find anything strange.

"It should be." Xu Chong nodded and said, "Our people have inspected the entire Shushan Sword Sect, but this place is the most special."

"Moreover, as soon as the brothers approached it within a radius of ten feet, they were repelled by a strong sword intent."

Shen Du glanced at the big bluestone with great interest, and walked over.

Just within a radius of ten feet, a vast sword intent suddenly swept over like a tide.

In an instant, a sword intent seemed to emerge from his mind, approaching Yuanshen.

"Ok?"

Shen Du was secretly startled.

Could this sword intent be Yuqiang Hengqiang?

It is rare to see a sword intent that can injure the primordial spirit.

With a thought in Shen Du's mind, a domineering sword intent surged from his body, and the two sword intents collided immediately.

At his current state, it is not difficult to realize the sword intent, not to mention that he already has a strong comprehension of sword art.

A dazzling sword light suddenly rose from the sword stone, the cold light shone, and the sword energy spread for more than a hundred miles.

Shen Du suddenly took a step forward, and his body suddenly shook. Thunder seemed to be surging under Ang Zang's body, and an extremely powerful aura burst out. The Dharma Image Realm momentum around him spread out without reservation, covering the sky and earth like a huge wave. They surged forward, as straight as a river.

"Boom!"

In the midst of the surging air waves, there was a loud bang.

The powerful force squeezed the void, causing ripples visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, Shen Du stepped forward, and the tyrannical aura instantly overshadowed the raging and violent sword intent.

"If your master is here, I'm still afraid!"

"A mere sword intention wants to stop me!"

Shen Du sneered, and in an instant he came to the blue stone, raised his hand and pressed it with his palm.

Boom!

There was a loud bang on the entire Shushan Mountain, and a bright sword energy burst out from the bluestone, and it went straight into the sky.

This sword energy is so dazzling that it can be clearly seen within a hundred miles.

The robes are bulging!

The tyrannical sword qi came straight, but the moment it approached Shen Du, it was crushed and shattered inch by inch.

Shen Du's palm landed on the bluestone, and with his powerful momentum, he directly overwhelmed the sword intent, forcing the sword intent to retract into the bluestone little by little.

In an instant, the scene before Shen Du's eyes changed.

The surroundings are no longer surrounded by the scenery of Shushan Mountain, but in a vast white space.

The surroundings are endless, with no end in sight.

The sky and the ground are all in the shape of a white mist.

"Snapped!"

It seems that a drop of water falls on a calm lake, making a slight sound.

The next moment, a figure suddenly emerged from the white mist ahead.

Shen Du was slightly startled.

When he saw the figure clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.

It was a figure that was identical to his face, even for himself, it was difficult to distinguish it.

The only difference is that what this figure is holding in his hand is a divine sword with a bright blue light.

A sword struck, like thunder falling from the sky!

The turbulent purple lightning covered the sky, and wherever it passed, the void seemed to be cut open, cutting countless cracks.

Shen Du suddenly raised his hand and punched out, but the punch was released without any strength.

"Ok?"

Seeing the sword light coming, Shen Du's heart suddenly moved.

Could it be that only swordsmanship can be used here?

At this thought, a long sword appeared in Shen Du's hand, and then he slashed out with a sword.

——Excalibur!

In an instant, eight sword energies swept out like eight dragons, colliding with the thunder in the sky.

Suddenly, the figure shrouded in white light approached in front of Shen Du, holding a sword and slashing at him with extremely tricky sword skills.

Shen Du recognized the shadow of Shushan Jianzong's swordsmanship from it.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why this sword stone had such a great reputation.

This sword intent in the stone can evolve all kinds of sword techniques.

"Chong!"

When the long swords collided, there was a clang sound of gold and iron colliding, and two streams of sword energy burst out at the same time.

In the next instant, the sword technique in the hands of the figure shrouded in white light changed, and what he was using was already "Excalibur Art".

Even the "Divine Sword Jue" cast from his hand is more mysterious than the one cast by himself.

This sword technique has already surpassed the level of "Shenjian Jue". As soon as the sword technique is released, the whole person disappears in place instantly, and the speed exceeds the limit.

This sword seems to have crossed the limitations of space and time, and the air is filled with the sound of a sonic boom.

Shen Du's face changed slightly.

Although he didn't know what the impact of being injured here would be, he absolutely didn't want it to happen.

In an instant, Shen Du's sword suddenly changed, and a chilling sword intent burst out.

——The Twelve Swords of Xuanyin!

This sword technique has been rarely used since he learned it.

Like the Seven Great Limits of Swallowing Heaven and Exterminating Earth, this sword technique is also called a sword technique that does not belong to the world, and it brings together the most evil thoughts in the world.

Xuanyin's sword intent erupted instantly, bursting out with ear-piercing sword sounds.

The brilliant light shot up into the sky, like an explosion in the atmosphere, and the white mist scattered around in shock, and the void cracked.

The sword energy instantly flowed like a waterfall and burst out suddenly.

When the two sword qi collided, they exploded immediately, making a deafening sound.

The void in front of him was shattered inch by inch, and the illusory figure also melted in an instant.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and when Shen Du opened his eyes again, he was still surrounded by the usual mountain and forest scene, as if everything before had never happened.

Shen Du breathed out slowly, but various insights about swordsmanship emerged in his mind.

This sword stone is indeed miraculous, and the sword intent contained in it can be derived, deduced, and formed into a brand new sword technique based on the skills mastered by the sword cultivator himself.

More importantly, this stone can make people understand the world further.

The founder of the Shushan Sword Sect who left behind the sword stone, I am afraid that he has already stepped out of the level of the Dharma and reached a new level.

But for the sword technique "Xuanyin Twelve Swords", there is nothing he can do.

Obviously, the level of this swordsmanship is too high and has far exceeded the capability limit of this sword stone.

Shen Du ordered: "Move this stone back!"

He has covered the sword stone with his own sword intention, and the sword intention in it will not explode in a short period of time.

This sword stone is of little use to him, but to the rest of the six doors, it is of great use, at least it can help many people step into the primordial spirit state faster.

After everyone rested briefly in Shushan for a day, they rushed to the capital without stopping.

In the world of martial arts, there has already been an uproar regarding the demise of the Shushan Sword Sect.

However, different from the past, this time the various sects of the Yan Kingdom are extremely low-key.

For the Shushan Jianzong incident, they can only blame themselves, meddling in the court's political affairs and plotting rebellion, which is not righteous at all.

What's more, now that the Shushan Sword Sect has been completely destroyed, it is impossible for anyone to make an enemy of the imperial court for a sect that has been destroyed.

On the official road, the team of six doors moved forward slowly.

On the road in the distance, smoke and dust suddenly rose in the sky.

A galloping horse came galloping, and the six gate arresters on it rode their horses and galloped, shouting: "A letter from Beijing, please see Mr. Shen!"

After hearing this, everyone at the six doors in front gave way.

The six-door policeman on horseback quickly got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, took out a letter from his arms and handed it up, shouting: "A letter from Beijing, please open it yourself!"

Shen Du stretched out his hand, took the letter, checked the wax on it, and hurriedly swept it away.

"Liang Ying!"

"I'll go first, you guys come as soon as possible!"

Shen Du gave an order without saying much, and rode away on the red dragon horse in an instant.

The content of the letter is not much, only a few words, but what is recorded is the situation of the prince.The prince is seriously ill!

……

With the speed of Chilongju, Shen Du rushed back to Beijing in just two days, and then went straight to the East Palace.

The East Palace is still the prince's residence. Although Xia Xinglin is in charge of state affairs, he is not the prince.

Although the crown prince was deposed, his prestige was still there. Many officials in the court were from the East Palace family, so no one dared to say anything.

Seeing Shen Du approaching, the guards of the East Palace stepped aside one after another.

A spring snow fell in Beijing today.

Yandi is already severely cold, and now it is early spring, but there is still heavy snow from time to time.

The official boots stepped on the snow, making a soft sound.

Outside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest, Lu Chengen stood with his body bowed. Seeing Shen Du coming, he just stretched out his hand and pushed open the gate of the palace, motioning for Shen Du to enter.

"Master Shen, His Highness has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Du nodded, and walked into the hall.

Xia Jingyi wore a black dragon robe, and stood tall with her hands behind her back.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned his head to look, and said with a soft smile: "I was born in the snow, and now I die in the snow, the time is the fate!"

Shen Du stared blankly, bowed his hands and bowed: "Your Highness!"

Although Xia Jingyi's complexion looks good now, in fact, he has already reached the point of exhaustion, his blood has already decayed, and there is no way to recover.

His state is nothing more than a flash of light brought about by the elixir.

Because of taking too many pills, his physical potential was overdrawn, which greatly shortened his remaining lifespan.

Xia Jingyi waved his hand, shook his head and said, "I am no longer the prince, so there is no need to salute."

Xia Jingyi stretched out her hand and signaled, "Sit down."

"I have been stuck in court politics all my life, and my life has actually been unhappy."

"Since I was six years old, my husband has told me that I am the future prince and the future master of Dayan, and I should always put the people of Dayan first."

"The people are the most important, the king is the least, and the country is second. In just a few words, how many kings in this world can sit on this point."

Xia Jingyi sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, his eyes showed emotion.

"Actually, I always wanted to be a painter when I was little."

Xia Jingyi walked to the table, reached out and took out a painting from the hidden compartment, and slowly unfolded it on the table.

Xia Jingyi looked at Shen Du, and said with a soft smile: "This is what I drew back then, how about it, it's ugly."

Shen Du glanced at it, nodded, and said with a smile, "It's a little bit."

Even this cannot be called a painting, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a casual graffiti.

On the picture scroll, there are mountains and waters, there are people in the mountains and fields, there are more cities and buildings, and there are... thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!
Xia Jingyi smiled, put away the scroll solemnly, and said calmly: "It will be enough for me after I die."

"There is no need to be extravagant and wasteful. A dead person is not worth spending too much money and food. This money and food is enough to live for a year for the people of Dayan."

Facing life and death, Xia Jingyi didn't have any fear in his eyes, but was extraordinarily calm.

If we talk about regrets, there are still some regrets after all, that is, we were unable to watch Dayan unify the countries and end the war.

Xia Jingyi looked at Shen Du, and said in a deep voice: "I know, this big swallow can't restrain you."

"Father's plan, I actually don't know. I used to think that he retreated to deal with the honorable family, but after this incident, I found that I guessed wrong."

"Perhaps the father does have the idea of ​​dealing with the honorable family, but this is by no means the real purpose of his retreat."

"He didn't want to show up when he used troops against Qianguo this time, which shows the importance of this matter."

"However, since father approved my performance, it means he has approved you."

"Fifth Brother's temperament has changed a lot over the years. I know he has no desire for power, but because of this, he is the most suitable candidate."

In fact, with the current situation of Dayan, as long as Emperor Yan is still there, it doesn't matter whether the emperor of ordinary things comes forward.

After the noble family was wiped out, although Dayan also suffered a lot of damage, but now Dayan's power can be gathered together and condensed into a rope.

Sometimes doing nothing is the best outcome.

Xia Jingyi talked a lot, for a long time, sighed softly, looked up at Shen Du, and said with a light smile: "I've said so much, but I really feel a little bit reluctant."

Then he waved his hand and said: "Go!"

In fact, Shen Dufei was the first person to enter the East Palace.

It's just that what Xia Jingyi said to everyone was different.

For everyone in the East Palace, he has already made proper arrangements.

The fifth prince is not keen on power, so he will not be too harsh on the people in the East Palace.

Over the years, Xia Jingyi has been cultivating children from poor families and selecting outstanding people, in order to one day fill the void left by the noble family.

Perhaps after a few years, these people will form a new honorable family, but that is a matter of the future.

It is enough to change the stability of the world for decades.

At least to complete the great cause of unification, so as not to plunge the whole world into long-term turmoil.

After struggling for several lifetimes, Dayan will finally succeed!
Shen Du bowed his hands and withdrew.

He stood in the courtyard with Lu Chengen, neither of them spoke, just waiting silently.

Although Xia Jingyi said that he was no longer a prince, he had been in charge of the empire for more than [-] years and was no different from a real king.

He also has his own pride.

He didn't want people to see his final embarrassment, at least before he was conscious.

The two of them stood like this in the courtyard.

Heavy snow fell on the two of them, and a thick layer of snow fell on their shoulders.

time flies,
The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the sky is getting darker.

Inside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests,

Xia Jingyi sat on a dragon chair with a smile on her face.

He is going to die, it shouldn't be too much to sit in this position, right?

All his life, he was bound by the rules. When he was young, he actually wanted to be like the ninth brother, who had no scruples and could do whatever he wanted.

It's just that the teachers in the East Palace are telling him - no.

Just because you are a prince.

He also imagined what would happen when he sat in this position.

He wanted to build a large territory for Dayan, and then pointed to his father's nose and said, look, I am better than you, right?
What you can't do, I can do.

When he was young, someone told him how outstanding his father was.

As a prince, he wanted to do better than his father.

In a trance, familiar faces seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

Second brother!

Third brother!

Sixth brother!

Seventh brother!

He vaguely remembered that when he was young, the second younger brother was the strongest, and he often led a group of brothers to fight with the group of noble children, and would find himself every time after a fight.

The third brother wasn't like that before. At that time, the third brother was handsome, and he was very popular with the daughters of noble families in Beijing.

They all grew up hearing about their father's deeds, so they often hid their identities and sneaked out of the palace.

Only later, everything changed.

There are a lot of barriers between their brothers, and there are a lot of open and secret fights between them.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

One after another voices rang in his ears, and the clear face gradually became blurred.

One after another figures are going away...

The excruciating pain swept through the whole body, and Xia Jingyi's forehead instantly shed cold sweat, and he clenched his teeth.

Xia Jingyi's knuckles turned white, and she opened her mouth slightly, enduring the severe pain, and forced a smile.

"It really hurts..."

Numerous pictures quickly flashed before his eyes.

He has done too many things in his life, but at the same time, there are also many things he failed to do.

Now, he is finally free.

Alive, too tired!
Father...

Xia Jingyi suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the Chaotian Temple in the imperial palace, a faint light burst into his eyes.

Are you looking?

The breath on his body gradually became depressed, almost undetectable.

……

At a certain moment, Lu Chengen suddenly knelt down on the ground, looking like a strong man, but like an old man, he knelt down in the snow, tears streaming down silently.

Shen Du quietly looked at the silent palace.

The candle in front of the window was burning quietly, and then slowly extinguished, and the hall was completely plunged into darkness.

……

when!
when!
when!
……

The giant bell hanging on the city wall rang softly, eight times in a row.

Nine sounds are the gift of the emperor.

In the history of Dayan, this is the only prince who died one step ahead of the emperor.

In his entire life, he has never been able to sit in that position.

Under the sound of the bell, countless pedestrians stopped in Yanjing City and looked up at the direction of the imperial city.

From the rich and powerful to the traffickers and pawns, they all stopped at this moment and looked up at the sky.

The noisy capital suddenly became extremely quiet at this moment.

On the street, there is only the sound of howling wind.

Dayan, Tianshun 25 years, spring.

The late prince Xia Jingyi passed away!
