Long Live The Emperor! Chapter 253: Annual rings

"So uncomfortable, so uncomfortable~~ What the **** is going on? Why do I feel this way?"

Wu Ji knelt on the black ground, her fingertips inserted deep into the earth of unknown material in the underworld, but was slightly bent by the hard ground,

She was shaking all over, as if she was sick.

"What exactly is this mask? Why do you say there is a problem, and what should I be careful about?"

Wu Ji's breathing became rapid, "Where are you, where are you? There have been more nightmares these days. Wouldn't it be a means for evil spirits to seize their homes? But I'm the Wu family, why?"

The words fell one after another.

Wu Ji was half lying on the ground, her whole body was tense, her black boots were hooked up by the soles of her feet,

She continued to speak illogically like a wounded female beast.

The words are fragment after fragment, but not coherent.

Xia Ji silently hid behind the stone wall.

After about half a column of incense, Wu Ji disappeared into the underworld again, and Xia Ji returned to Jinghu.

...

The next day.

Lv Miaomiao mixed the rice paste early in the morning, and put on the cat-head slippers to paste the word "Fu". Bai Yu's ankles were wrapped in cotton socks, and she kept going in and out of the slippers. Footsteps were running around.

Seeing Xia Ji, she waved her hand sideways and made a cute face:

"Good morning, uncle~~"

After she finished speaking, she held the word "Fu" and held the hot rice paste, and ran over with a "da-da-da". When she reached another door, she began to brush the rice paste, and then raised her hands high. Start posting blessings.

The manor in the middle of Jinghu Lake is very large, and it is obviously a big project to paste the characters of blessing and couplets on all the houses.

Xia Ji quickly finished breakfast and went to help.

The light of the winter morning is warm and soft,

The wind was cold, but clean and fresh.

It's almost noon.

Lu Miaomiao gasped, rubbed her hands together, her cheeks flushed, she glanced sideways at the silver-haired man who was also busy, and shouted from a distance, "Uncle, it's almost noon, I'm going to cook, What would you like to eat?"

"It's just two of us, just do whatever you want."

"How is that possible?"

Lu Miaomiao said, "Forget it, I'll see for myself."

She put on her apron and got busy in the kitchen.

At this time, the incense in the ancestral hall outside Jinghu is at its peak, rendering this afternoon a quiet and full of Zen interest.

Many people who came from afar burn incense to the heart of the lake by the lake, and then either bowed or prostrated, shouting "I wish the master a happy new year" and so on.

Xia Ji turned his back and suddenly understood.

The smoke billows from the kitchen, announcing that he is back on the island.

So, those who come to the Confucius Temple to make a wish are here to pay homage to their early years.

He smiled, feeling the movement in the direction of the kitchen, and an inexplicable warmth developed in his heart.

Speaking of which, Lu Miaomiao has been with him for eight years without knowing it. Except for Xiao Su, the two of them have spent more time together than others.

Xia Ji couldn't help shaking his head with a smile.

Man, I'm really deceiving myself. While talking about topics that need reason, I really feel the warmth, but I don't care about reason anymore. It's really ridiculous, but I'm willing to be ridiculous.

In any case, at this moment, he was like a traveler who was chased by a tiger and jumped into a dry well. There were poisonous snakes in the dry well, and he was clinging to the green vine that was about to break, and clinging to the air,

On the green vine, a drop of morning dew is condensing and dripping,

So he raised his head and briefly forgot about the tiger and the viper, and concentrated on the sweetness of this drop of dew.

This drop of dew suddenly transformed into Lv Miaomiao's appearance. She was like an elf, walking out of the mysterious fog and breaking into a world that was also a fog.

In the end, the two don't really know each other at all.

There is also no secret exchange at all.

Even the characters are very different.

From a sane point of view, this is not a matching pair at all.

But feelings have never been about reason. At this moment, Xia Ji understood.

He was even a little scared, so he suppressed this feeling for a while, and sat cross-legged with Lu Miaomiao at the long table.

Outside Jinghu Lake, the Confucius Temple, fireworks exploded into a sky garden,

Beautiful purple and red, blooming in the deep winter,

Bright, beautiful, but short-lived.

"Uncle, are you watching fireworks?"

"Are fireworks beautiful but short-lived?"

"I don't think, because...every year we see fireworks, and beauty briefly adorn our lives, but not all."

"Oh~~ Miao Miao has become very philosophical today, so what do you think life is all about?"

"I don't know either, and that's what I need to explore with my uncle."

Xia Ji smiled. He doesn't define life. If there is a definition, it will fall down.

"Go!"

"Okay~"

"Uncle, would you like a drink? I'll drink some too."

"Okay~"

"Uncle, shall we take a walk after dinner?"

"Okay~"

"Uncle, you need to absorb the cyan spark as soon as possible, okay?"

"Okay~"

"Uncle, wear a couple's outfit with me, okay?"

"Okay~"

No matter what Lu Miaomiao said, Xia Ji nodded gently.

"Cheers~ I hope Uncle can break through the eleventh realm soon." Lu Miaomiao's cheeks were flushed, and her quirky eyes looked at Xia Ji tenderly.

Xia Ji even had an impulse at this moment. He wanted to tell the woman in front of him that he was already at the peak of the eleventh realm and had a thousand years of life.

But he couldn't say it.

How can such a thing be said.

From the very beginning, all the interactions between the two were built on the soil of many lies and many mists, so how could there be true flowers?

"Miaomiao, you should work hard too."

"I am ~ I am a natural domineering body, I can live forever, uncle don't have to worry."

"Natural hegemony?" Xia Ji fell into silence. How could this kind of apparently fooling person be true, and Miaomiao actually believed it?

So, he said: "Miaomiao, listen to me, no matter what, you still have to cultivate and break through to the peak of the eleventh realm. What if the uncle breaks through and you don't live to a hundred years? What?"

Lu Miaomiao pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to cultivate."

Xia Jidao: "I will teach you."

Lu Miaomiao looked up at the man in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly.

This New Year, Xia Ji is not alone.

He suddenly understood that the love that is like glue like knees is not necessarily wonderful. Two people have their own world and their own persistence, but they can still be together, which makes people heartbeat.

You need to understand the other person, but don't change the other person, don't force the other person to think the same as you, this is the best relationship.

Yin and Yang have never been incompatible, with clear boundaries, and no one is a vassal of another, but because of this, Tai Chi can be born with rotation.

The way of heaven is like this, isn't it the same with feelings?

...

Years later, Fireworks March.

Da Zhou successfully completed the annexation of Beishang.

Ji Xuanxu went to the ancient Shan Dai Sect, passed through the Lotus Temple of the Pure Land, held a ceremony of enshrining Zen, worshipped the gods, erected stones and praised the virtues of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After that, he needs to make a national tour, one is to follow traditions and consolidate his rule, and the other is to worship famous mountains and lakes, expressing that he is appointed by the sky and is the master of mountains and rivers.

As an imperial teacher, Xia Ji naturally needs to be accompanied.

He never refused, and accompanied the Son of Destiny, who was destined not to reach the peak of the Eleventh Realm, through the years that slowly ushered in the end of his life.

Glory is added, but Shouyuan is heading towards the end day by day.

Ji Xuan once looked for Xia Ji, and expressed fear that he didn't want to die. Xia Ji smiled and told him, "I still have a five-color order, I can accept him and resurrect him later." Ji Xuan was a little relieved. , and then urged Xia Ji to take him quickly.

Therefore, in addition to Zuo Ci and Xia Qingxuan of the Jiuding Dan Palace on Abbot Island, the number of five-color orders added a third person—the Great Zhou Kaiguo Emperor.

The master followed the emperor to seal the Chan Dai Sect and inspected the world.

On the way, he took the opportunity to disperse his "Elephant Scroll" and "Wan Dharma Scroll Extended Edition".

Five years later.

The task of patrolling the mountains and rivers is complete.

Xia Ji is forty-nine years old, and Lu Miaomiao is twenty-nine.

The two have been with each other day and night, and their relationship has increased a lot, but after all, they have not taken that step.

Lu Miaomiao knows that the person she loves doesn't want to delay her, so as long as he does not break through to the peak of the eleventh realm, he will not marry him for a day.

And under the guidance of Xia Ji, she is slowly progressing every day, but for some reason, the years have not left a trace of vicissitudes on her face, she is like an immortal witch, always maintaining the original appearance .

Ji Xuan returned to Juye City, and the palace had been built.

The next step is to appoint the queen, the princess, the draft...

And all of this is well arranged.

The five aristocratic families sent five female disciples. The Su family directly occupied the queen's position because of the emperor's teacher, and the other four families were divided into four imperial concubines.

Soon, the queen was pregnant and gave birth to a boy named Ji Chang.

Since then, the Su family has split up,

Separated into the WTO,

It quickly became the top family in the world with a thunderous momentum. This is a typical family that leaps to the sky through the queen, and it is not abrupt.

The following year, the remaining four imperial concubines gave birth to children one after another, and the major families also split into corresponding branch families. These branch families are called the four major families in Da Zhou.

The four major families are in charge of the lifeline of Dazhou, the military, government, business and even the righteous and evil of the rivers and lakes...

Since then, the five aristocratic families have succeeded in retreating, once again hiding behind the scenes,

Maybe there will be many people mentioning these five great families at this time, but as the years go by, there will be fewer and fewer people mentioning the five great families,

In addition to Da Zhou's deliberate information confidentiality, it will not take many years for the five great families to become little-known legends,

In place of it, there are the first family in the world and the four major families that have exposed the tip of the iceberg.

At this time, Ji Xuan has become a tool person, seemingly active, but in fact passively walking through the step-by-step cutscenes.

The generals, Wen Shou, Yin Jun, and national teachers have naturally replaced the second generation.

Finally, the Su family also sent someone to replace the emperor.

After all, Xia Ji's mission to teach Ji Xuan has been completed, and the next step is to teach Ji Chang, and this is naturally the new emperor.

Xia Ji completed the handover.

Before leaving, Ji Xuanzhao told the world that Xia Ji was officially named "The Holy Master of the World", and everyone should do it when they saw him.

Although the name of the Master is spread all over the world, the Master of the World is personally proclaimed by the emperor of a generation of dynasties.

The first-generation generals, Wen Shou, Yin Jun, and national teachers have all returned to the aristocratic family and made breakthroughs in a small world full of spiritual energy.

And Xia Ji knew early on that he couldn't go back to Su's house.

He can't live, can't break through the eleventh realm, this is the bottom line of the ancestors.

At this time, according to mortal calculations, he was fifty-four years old, and Lu Miaomiao was thirty-four, and they had been with each other for nearly twenty years.

Xia Ji returned to Jinghu, took one last look at these familiar scenes, and put away the transit station of Zangzhe.

Because in the future, this place will be returned to the Su family.

And he needs to travel far.

Lu Miaomiao brushed his silver hair and said softly, "Shall I take you to the north? Even if the aristocratic family gives up on us, we can't give up ourselves. North and South, you can definitely break through."

Speaking, Lu Miaomiao hugged Xia Ji gently from behind, her cheeks rubbed lightly on his side face, and her tears were flowing.

She has no idea how many tears she has shed.

She couldn't understand why the aristocratic family gave up such a powerful master.

I can't understand why such a powerful master can't break through the eleventh realm~IndoMTL.com~ You must know that even ordinary people, after awakening their bloodline and reaching their peak in the Three Mysteries of Spiritual Qi, will You can step into the eleventh realm, and almost all the mysteries that people in the world have broken through now come from the master.

But why is it that the Master who has taught the world is unable to awaken his bloodline?

She's numb.

Xia Ji glanced at the woman whose appearance had never changed and wiped away her tears. Over the years, he had persuaded Miaomiao many times to let Miaomiao go back, but this girl just gave up and would not leave.

"North and South, let's set off tomorrow morning, okay? There's always a way."

"Okay~"

...

...

The war is over, and the prosperous world is prosperous.

The doors to Mirror Lake Manor are permanently closed.

A carriage parked by the lake set out from the south, drove over tens of thousands of miles, went through mountains and rivers, and then arrived in the north.

The leaves were still green when they arrived, but at this time it was raining and snowing.

The North remains extremely volatile today.

But Da Zhou seems to be encouraging and supporting those warriors who are willing to rob the periphery of the land.

Each martial artist can get supplies for free on the periphery of the robbery, and if they are powerful, they can also get some medicine pills for free.

Row after row of houses were erected, which were built for warriors who were going to rob the land.

The houses are numbered, and the further forward they are, the more luxurious and comfortable they are.

These houses even formed a small city, like a frontier army, surrounding Jiedi from afar.

But with the expansion of the robbery, these cities are also destined to keep moving out.

Xia Ji and Miao Miao concealed their identities and wore cloaks.

The stone house is spacious with its own courtyard.
