Hsu Fengnian did not know the true background of this eunuch, but compared to the old eunuch Zhao Siku, who was more of an official, Hsu Fengnian's status as a grandmaster of martial arts evaluation helped him grasp some key points. Therefore, his first question was very shocking. "Back then, were you the one who persuaded the invincible Wang Xianzhi to retreat to a corner of the Eastern Sea and not leave Wu Wu City easily?"
The young and elegant eunuch, who looked like a young man, turned a deaf ear to him. He bent down slightly and turned the wheel. The creaking sound was particularly obvious in the quiet evening street, where only the occasional sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking could be heard in the distance.
Hsu Fengnian said to himself, "I was very curious before. Why didn't the half-inch tongue Ben Xi, who knew that the rabbit was already dead, make a mad counterattack before his death? If the officials of West Chu, who had passed through the palace three times, were unable to kill the late emperor Zhao Zhuan because Great Peace City still had Cat Man Han Shengxuan on the surface, Liu Hao Shi in the dark, Gu Jiantang in the Ministry of War, and the group of immortals from Mount Longhu worshiped in the Imperial Astronomer? Then why did Cao Changqing, who had changed from Confucianism to Tyranny, not directly enter the city to kill the current emperor, Zhao Zhuan, when he faced only the defeated Chai Qingshan and Xuanyuan Qingfeng? I couldn't figure it out. The last time I entered the capital, I didn't feel any trace of your aura. However, after Huyan Daguan, who had broken into Great Peace City, arrived in Beiliang, he said something similar to Hong Xixiang, reminding me that the Zhao family of Liyang might still have a hidden trump card. So this time, when Zhao Siku found me and mentioned you to me, I began to understand the reason. After seeing you with my own eyes, my guess was confirmed. "
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand, indicating for Mei Fengjie and Fan Xiaochai to retreat as far away as possible.
He looked at the "young" eunuch who fit the vision of "proving the true meaning and returning to youth" in the Taoist scriptures and smiled. "Do you know how I feel when I see you?"
Xu Fengnian asked and answered his own question. "If one day you were in a small place outside of Great Peace City, you might suddenly see a child happily eating candied haws on the side of the road and discover that person was the strongest person at the time. This would probably be the feeling, slightly absurd and also slightly depressing."
The young eunuch straightened his back and twitched the corner of his mouth. He seemed to find the young king's words interesting.
The young eunuch did not move. he, he, who was lying on the ground, on's back. He was like riding a cloud.. and then he flew up to the end of the street...
Could be said to have reached perfection..
Facing this person, Hsu Fengnian felt like facing Wudang's Chief Wang Zhonglou before he started practicing martial arts. It was like facing the aggressive Han Shengxuan outside Shenwu City. It was also like facing Wang Xianzhi when he was at the peak of his power and entering Beiliang.
Hsu Fengnian knew that if he had not been severely injured by Tuoba on the Dragon Eye Plain, the two of them would have had a fifty-fifty chance of winning. But now, if the two of them were to fight to the death, he would lose without a doubt and die without a doubt.
Of course, his opponent would also die.
Because this was Beiliang, not Great Peace City in Liyang.
Hsu Fengnian said slowly, "Lone Yin does not last long. In this world, only the Qi of the Dragon is strong and Yang. That is why you are able to do something unprecedented and achieve immortality in the human world."
The young eunuch did not speak, but a sound came from the bottom of the well. It was very pleasing to the ear. It was like someone was tapping the surface of the water with their fingers and playing a piece of heavenly music that lingered endlessly.
"Since you have already seen through the mystery, then you should know that I am the one with immortality in Sui 'an City. If I leave Sui' an City, I am not truly immortal. I believe this is also why you did not immediately retreat after seeing me."
Hsu Fengnian nodded. Then he said in bewilderment, "Sui 'an City? That is an old story from a very long time ago. "
The young eunuch turned his head to look in the direction of Great Peace City. This time, the sound came from the rolling of the wheels.
"When Liyang was founded, I was already serving in the palace of Sui 'an City. At that time, the place where the Zhao family stood had not yet been renamed Great Peace City. In these two hundred years, I have seen a lot of life and death. Those who sat on the dragon throne and those who wanted to sit on the dragon throne, those who studied, those who carried swords and armor, all died. Even their grandson's grandson died. I am still alive. "
Hearing such a shocking legend, even Hsu Fengnian felt that it was inconceivable. It was not easy for martial artists to ascend. There was also a saying that immortality was only in the heavens. This meant that it was impossible to achieve immortality in the human world. Even if one ascended to the realm of immortals on earth, unless one was like Hong Xixiang who had voluntarily died and reincarnated, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth would not allow such an "unconventional" existence in the human world. Plants withered and flourished. Life, old age, illness, and death were the natural laws. For this reason, Buddhists abandoned their physical bodies and went to the Western Pure Land of Buddha. Taoists did not practice and naturally only wanted to become a person on the mountain. Tracing back to the origin, there were gains and losses. It was not easy for the long-lived people in the world, like Wudang Mountain's Immortal Song Zhiming, to live for two hundred years. The reason why Liu Songtao was able to live longer than Song Zhiming was because he had drawn a prison on Mount Lantuo and was no different from a living dead. Compared to the person in front of him, who was of the same age as the country, they could not be mentioned in the same breath.
Seeing through Hsu Fengnian's doubts, the young eunuch "closed his mouth" and said, "I am not a cultivator. I have never thought about ascending. Life and death are only in this world."
Hsu Fengnian asked directly, "Then did the ancestors of the Zhao family make an oath with you? They want you to protect the descendants of the Zhao family and the throne of Liyang? "
The young eunuch shook his head. His voice rose in the autumn wind.
"The emperors of the Zhao family know of my existence, but they may not be able to see me. I need to absorb the Qi of Dragon to nourish my Qi and Blood Essence so that I can live forever. However, it is inconvenient for me to see the real body of the flood dragon at close range. Moreover … "
The young eunuch finally showed a smile for the first time. His tone also lost some of its murderousness.
"Moreover, it is one thing for a thief to sneakily take things and put them in his bosom, but if he openly appears in front of the owner of the stolen item, he is too shameless."
Hsu Fengnian laughed involuntarily.
The young eunuch sat at the mouth of the well. He did not sit upright, nor did he have a lazy attitude. He was just so natural and casual.
In the distance, the old eunuch who had already left Great Peace City and lived in seclusion in the mountains of Beiliang prayed in his heart.
Please don't fight.
There was an old saying in the marketplace that even the gods could not stop. It was used to describe the difficulty of certain matters.
But the two people in the eyes of the old eunuch were the ones who could not be stopped.
It was more likely that they could stop the gods!
