The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 140: Longteng Tongtian Tower (Part 2)

At that time, the tone of Elliott’s narration was very plain, but Jonah felt shocked, "Long Ji actually made such a decision...Then Asai, did he leave like that."

The rose knight sighed leisurely: "Yes, Lord Long Chang left the ruins of the Long Family Courtyard and changed his name from now on. He walked the world as the King of Assassins Simeon? Long Chang. He He never stayed in one place, traveled from one country to another, completed an amazing assassination mission, and immediately drifted away. His reputation is passed down to the world, but who knows, he just wanders around just to escape."

"Then his feelings for Long Ji..." the astrologer said hard, feeling full of bitterness in his mouth,

"When Miss Long Ji recounted this past, the silver rose lit up with a brilliant brilliance that had never been seen before. We believe that the relationship between them is holy, strong, and true." The knight replied. "But the relationship can't bloom and bear fruit. Your Excellency Long Chang has been evading. He knew that as long as two people are still alive, there will be an invisible bond between the two people on each side of the sky. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can still be in a dream See; and Miss Long Ji has been chasing, she knows that once she stops, she will have nothing left, everything she believes in this life is in this decision, loyalty to the Long family, doubts about reality, and feelings Her loyalty and hatred towards her enemies, she carries such a heavy burden along the way, no one can share it for her."

Jonah suddenly remembered that in the days of Cherry Crossing, Long Ji once said to him this sentence: "Thank you, I understand what you mean, but you can't help me. No one can help me. Li is the same, you are all fools who can give everything for others, and I am just a woman who will bring misfortune..." The 17-year-old held his heart and felt the pain of loneliness in empathy, her lover, It is an enemy who has never seen each other in a lifetime; her enemy is a lover destined to die by her sword. The sky is long and the water is long, and the years are easy to grow old. How can this endless chase end? The protagonist, there are a few people who can stand up their chests as strong as Long Ji, bravely meet the fate of this tragedy,

Jonah took a deep breath, buried the pain in his heart, "What's the matter with the Long Family, Ellie."

The knight thought for a while and replied: "A disaster. The specific death toll of the Long Family was kept secret, but the Long Family’s top position in the Seventeen Eastern Schools for many years was immediately lost. This powerful family that has been strong for thousands of years has finally begun. Declined, Miss Long Ji let go of Your Excellency Long Chang from the ruins of the Long Family Mansion. No one else knew about this. The Presbyterian Church immediately issued a seven-faced token with the word'迢' for permission to go out, and her fighting power was exhausted. Dispatch seven teams to hunt down Your Excellency Long Chang. As the most outstanding member of the Xingtang of the 14th generation of the clan, Miss Long Ji set off with the seventh team and traced them to the territory of the Late Tang Dynasty in the northeast of the mainland, and found the first and second teams The entire army was annihilated; after following the enemy’s trail, he turned south and entered the Houqin country. At this time, the third and fourth teams also became corpses all over the ground; and after the fifth team was completely wiped out, the ruin Qiguo turned to Heading west and entering the territory of Southern Merchants, Miss Long Ji finally shortened the distance with Your Excellency Long Chang, but at this time the sixth team has been beheaded. Miss Long Ji sent her men to continue tracking, and she was with the dragon in Suiyang City. The family mansion got in touch, and she was promoted to the fourth officer in charge by the Presbyterian Church. She was allowed to leave the Eastern Continent to hunt down the enemy and die endlessly; but when Miss Long Ji caught up with the team members, she was found on the north bank of the turbulent holy river. , The seventh team has only her alive. Your Excellency Long Chang disappeared on the other side of the holy river. The corpse was covered in the valley. The only ones standing were us who passed by accidentally."

"This is everything, it turned out to be like this..." Jonah let out a long sigh, "Long Ji's story is completely beyond my expectation, and Asai, it turns out that there is such a past."

"There is no more tangled love than this." The rose knight said leisurely, "I can't imagine under what circumstances this silver rose will bloom."

The knight’s voice gradually faded away, and the shining sun reminded Jonah that he was still walking on the post road of the Southern Shang Dynasty. The silent Long Shenlin in front, the long road and the green farmland behind him, his purpose The land is the Long Family Mansion in the story, the ancient, full of brilliance and ugliness, the huge manor that suffered disaster and was rebuilt again, the strange world hidden behind the wall, he suddenly remembered something, and hurried to Long Shen. Next to Lin, he brewed a bit of language, and said, "Xiaolong, do you mind if I ask you a question."

"Of course." Long Shenlin replied absent-mindedly. He didn't turn his head to look at the questioner, but looked forward anxiously.

"Six years ago...when the Tongtian Pagoda fell down, where were you, can you tell me the scene at that time." The astrologer asked carefully,

The Shadowzong Foreign Affairs Envoy jumped to the side like an electric shock, stopped walking to look around, and then asked with a cold sweat, "You ask what this is doing, Senior Jonah, this is an unspeakable topic, if it reaches someone else’s ears It's incredible."

"Is that disaster a taboo topic, I'm sorry, I don't know..." Jonah apologized,

I saw Long Shenlin's figure suddenly faded, turning into a touch of blue smoke into Jona’s shadow, disappearing, and a voice rang in the ears of the astrologer: "But Senior Jona is the grandmother of the tormentor. People who believe, if you want to ask, Xiaolong must answer. At that time, I was an ordinary child in the 44th neighborhood in the southeast of the branch. The weather was very good that day, the sky was blue, and there was no wind. I had eaten for a whole day. For the only meal, I was practicing boxing on the roof. Suddenly the sky fell apart. I didn’t know what was happening at the time. I only saw that all the houses west of the South 20th Street were covered by gray shadows. The strong wind took me from the roof. Flew, fell into a pond full of sludge, the house fell one by one, and the world was full of dust and smoke. Everyone I knew in the world died at that time. Only I was lucky enough to be in the mud pond. Survived in."

"I'm so sorry, it reminds you of this kind of past again." Jonah couldn't help sighing. "Later, did you realize what happened? The wall really collapsed, didn't it, whether it was'Dragon's Back' or Long's House The outer wall of the city, the family members who are trapped between the two walls can go wherever they want."

"The wall collapsed,...Yes, so that said, the wall is indeed missing." Xiaolong's voice seemed a little surprised,

Joyfulness appeared on Jonah’s face: "So many branch families have been free, right? You can choose to hide in the clan mansion and wait for the amnesty to arrive, or you can set foot on the eastern continent and start a free life without ever having to live. It’s a bitter day without food."

"Oh, senior, what you said is right." Xiaolong hesitated,

"...what does it mean ‘that’s right’." Jonah asked strangely,

Long Shenlin was silent for a while, "No one thought of running away. Those who survived were very scared. Before we figured out the situation, we all gathered in the untouched streets and crowded together. , So that we won’t tremble too much. That year was a good harvest year and we were all fed up. Who would have thought that such a natural disaster would happen. Later, the patriarch would send someone to explain the situation, let us calm down, don’t be afraid, very The new wall will be built, and the dragon's spine will resume its function. In the extraordinary period, the next clan will open a warehouse to distribute relief food, and allocate sufficient rations and oil, salt, and meat to each family member, and the ruins will be cleared out. The family members can freely distribute the property of the dead and build houses in the land of no owner; those who participate in the work of cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding the walls will receive three meals a day, pork and wine for dinner, and those with outstanding performance will be given priority by the shadow clan Choose to hire, and even teach the Nine Laws of the Long Family for encouragement. Now that I think about it, it is really a good time to divide the family. As long as you work hard, you can live a good life. Suddenly many people die, and the streets immediately become less crowded. , The newly built buildings have a different atmosphere than before, and it was at that time that I was selected by the shadow sect, learned the Nine Laws, became a foreign affairs envoy, and completely changed my destiny."

The 17-year-old was speechless. For a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "You mean, even if the internal and external walls are torn down, the separation of the family still stays in place, doing nothing or going anywhere."

"Yes, senior." Xiaolong replied, "There were ten people who absconded to the Zong family, maybe hundreds of people, and none left the Long family. We were born there and we will die there. Outside The world is terrible, and the family members are eager to build the high wall quickly to keep the danger out."

"Don’t you yearn for freedom at all,... Then, what is the purpose of Asai’s hard work? Does the sacrifice of cakes have any meaning? For thousands of years, you have not thought of changing anything at all? ." Jonah opened his mouth wide in disbelief,

Long Shenlin slowly emerged from the shadows, with a calm and frank expression: "Freedom is something that the dragon family doesn’t need. Everyone in the world has their own shackles. No one can be completely free, right, senior, The wall of the Long Family Mansion is the treasure left by the ancestors, which can isolate all dangers. The Dragon's Back only separates the two groups of dragon family members. As long as the stomach is full, the family members can settle down like the family members, and there is nothing else. Please, although I have become the foreign ambassador of the Shadow Sect and leave the mansion to perform tasks, I always remember my hometown and wish to go back immediately. This is the idea of ​​our Easterners... Maybe you don’t understand it, senior."

Jona murmured: "It turned out to be like this... now I fully understand the story. It turns out that everything is beautiful, without even a bit of meaning..."

"What story." Xiaolong said strangely, "Hurry up, senior, we have to go back to the mansion quickly and rescue the grandmother in charge."

"Of course." The 17-year-old sighed, "She is the most innocent person from beginning to end."
