There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea: 850|The seventy-fourth dragon scale (six)
The seventy-fourth dragon scale (six)
Linglong is playing with Xiao Ping'an. She is very interested in this child. Isn't it amazing that a child who should not have been born in this world was born without any external interference?
Perhaps it was because Concubine Xu's soul was swallowed up by her, and the mother and son were connected. Even if she only stayed in her mother's womb for six months, Xiao Ping'an was closer to Linglong than to others. He seemed to only trust her. When you arrive at Linglong, you will feel at ease. Because he is cute and well-behaved, Linglong is not annoying, just interesting.
The dragon is omnipotent, and there is only one thing in the world that she cannot do, and that is to create the soul.
So those creatures with souls in the barren sea need her to inject the beautiful souls that she has collected to become alive, and Xiao Ping'an obviously shouldn't be born, he is a soul that appeared out of thin air, such a situation , Even Linglong is rarely seen, she can easily destroy a world, but can't create a world at will, because she can't create a soul.
Not only she can't, but the gods and heavens of any world she's seen can't.
The soul is such a wonderful thing that no one can create and no one can control. Therefore, Linglong cherishes the beautiful soul she has obtained. She eats very few of them. Most of them are injected into the creatures of the barren sea and become her subjects. It is obviously such a sweet and delicious food!
How did Xiaoping appear out of thin air? Obviously a child who shouldn't exist.
Is this the so-called miracle? Because he loved the child deeply until he died, but felt guilty for not being able to bring him to the world, so the child who should have died with his mother unexpectedly survived.
Everyone says that his nephew is like an uncle, which is not false at all. Xiao Ping'an doesn't look like Concubine Xu or the emperor, but looks very much like Xu Chengbi. When it came out, no one would believe it if it was a father and son. Maybe it was because of his resemblance, that Xiao Ping'an gradually got a good face towards Xu Chengbi. Although he didn't trust Linglong as closely, at least he was willing to let Xu Chengbi hug and hold her.
Xu Chengbi was really careful with this little nephew. He was afraid that it would fall off when he held it in his hand, and he was afraid that it would melt when he held it in his mouth. He even spoke softly to Xiao Ping'an, for fear of scaring the child. The appearance of Xiao Ping'an made Xu Chengbi's hatred and anger dissipated a lot. He regarded Xiao Ping'an as the future of Daliang, and he wanted to lay down this land for him with his own hands and take back the things that belonged to Xiao Ping'an.
Actually, when his elder sister entered the palace, Xu Chengbi held a disapproval attitude. It was not that he disliked the emperor, but that he felt that it was meaningful to compete with so many women for his husband? What's more, the elder sister's entry into the palace is not for the queen. No matter how good the name of the concubine is and the nobler status, it is just a concubine, and she is not even qualified to be side by side with the emperor. As the daughter of the Xu family, my sister obviously has a better choice!
But the emperor insisted that her sister finally chose to enter the palace. Xu Chengbi knew that her sister did not adore the emperor, but just to save the Xu family and him.
Concubine Xu is not favored in the palace. If she is not the daughter of the Xu family, and her younger brother is a famous general, I am afraid that the emperor will not even go to her palace more than once, and she herself is happy to be quiet. Not long after entering the palace, Concubine Xu discovered that the emperor was narrow-minded and stubborn, and she often expressed her dissatisfaction and disgust with Xu Chengbi in her conversations. Concubine Xu became more and more worried. She was also loved and raised by her father and brother at home. , Marrying into an ordinary family, it must be a virtuous inner helper that everyone praises.
But when it comes to the royal family, that's not the case. Concubine Xu often speaks euphemistically, but if the emperor could listen to him, why would he be so jealous of Xu Chengbi?
Linglong did not say yes or no to Xu Chengbi's request. She is very calm, because to her, the life and death of human beings are irrelevant. In her endless life, she has seen too many such scenes, so she asked: "I help you, what benefits can I get?"
Xu Chengbi was silent for a long time, and then replied: "...As long as I can do it, I am willing to let the girl send her request."
Linglong shook her head: "If I just want a servant, then there will be countless people rushing towards me if I wave my hand, and there is no shortage of you."
Xu Chengbi looked at her, Linglong smiled again, stretched out a finger, from his handsome face, little by little to the position of his heart, where there were still her paw prints, as if this person was already her 's possessions. "Of course I can help you. If you want Guotai Min'an, good weather, or longevity, I can give it to you. However, I also have requirements."
She poked Xu Chengbi's heart with her finger: "I want your soul."
Xu Chengbi was taken aback.
"Soul?"
"It is only natural for people to live and die. In some worlds, humans will not be alive after death, but become part of the world, but some people's obsessions can overcome the limitations of heaven and laws. It's also very common."
She caressed his face fascinatedly, "Such an unyielding soul should be well kept."
She has seen many miracles, and the vast majority of those who can create miracles are humans.
For example, Xiao Ping An.
Linglong is really interested in this little soul, she just wants to take him apart and study what's going on. Maybe she can create a new soul out of thin air in the future, and then she will be self-sufficient and no longer have to suffer Wouldn't it be nice to be hungry?
This kind of dangerous thought lingered in her mind. After all, it is not a happy thing for the dragon girl to be hungry all the time, but she played with this little thing for many days, and she couldn't get it out. He understands what is different about him, but Linglong can even give a gentle answer: it is the love of his mother, the loyalty of Qiu Hong, the protection of countless palace maids and eunuchs, and the hope of immortality. Such a soul that should not have been born was born.
This is not a chemical equation, there are traces to follow, Linglong can't understand, this self-sufficiency routine has failed.
She has tried many times, and her dragon scales can mimic a lifelike human being, laughing, swearing, scolding, anger, sorrow, and joy are no different from ordinary people, but she has no soul, just a skin with a surface, nothing at all. not beautiful.
And a beautiful soul is luminous, Linglong likes shiny things the most, so she doesn't like the dolls she created with dragon scales, and even rarely uses them. After all, there is no life without a soul that does not shine. It seemed worthless to her.
Xu Chengbi obviously doesn't understand the meaning of Linglong's words, but he understands that he has what she wants in him, that's good, it means that he is still useful and not a waste.
"As long as you want, as long as I can."
Obviously, Linglong really likes this kind of human being who loves herself with all her body and mind, and she doesn't hesitate to protect them. Concubine Xu wants her brother to live well, she can give it, Xu Chengbi wants Guotai and Min'an, she can also give it, as long as they It's enough to give her soul as a price. From now on, isn't it more free and happy to live in the barren sea than the mortal world?
For the first time, she held Xu Chengbi's face, with a hint of love and pity, and kissed his forehead, as if coaxing a child: "As you wish."
Xiao Ping'an staggered over and hugged Linglong's calf. Obviously, he was not happy when he saw the two of them being so close.
Qiu Hong took him to escape for nearly three years. She had never experienced any hardship. She was afraid that Xiao Ping'an's existence would be known. Now the road is unstable, and because he can't make a sound and doesn't like to talk, many times he holds his exquisite calf and raises his head to express his needs. Although he does not understand the principle of creating a soul, Xiao Ping'an is a unique person. Differently, Linglong was naturally a little more patient with him than with others.
Who told this child to be good-looking, well-behaved and not noisy?
She let go of Xu Chengbi, picked up Xiao Ping'an and put it on her lap, and said to Xu Chengbi: "Let go of the wind, and say... God has the virtue of good life, and rains rain to benefit all people, except for the capital."
Xu Chengbi was taken aback.
Linglong smiled slightly, rubbing Xiao Ping'an's face, no flesh, but soft and easy to squeeze: "There are frequent natural disasters, the emperor is not obsessed with monks and Taoism all day long? He may not believe this, he just wants to find an excuse to throw the blame. Forget it, how could he have caused this mess? How could he have made mistakes? How could he be a stupefied king? So it's all God's will, don't blame him."
But now the sky has clearly said that I will rain for you, but not for the capital, so you can say what it means.
Who lives in that place in the capital? Who offended God?
"As for the Duke of Chuhe, the Marquis of Huai'an and the others... 'If a traitor is difficult to control, I swear to die on the side of the emperor'." Linglong said slowly, "When others use this slogan, they are chaotic ministers and thieves, but you, Xu Chengbi, are not. You raise your arms. With one call, countless people are willing to follow, not to mention...and him."
She patted Xiao Ping'an's head, the little guy raised his hands stupidly, hugged Linglong's hand that patted his head and rubbed it, a look of dependence, and muttering something in his mouth, too vague, Linglong and Xu Chengbi didn't hear it clearly.
Xiao Ping An is the son of Concubine Xu and the emperor, a serious prince, and the emperor has no children under his knees.
So what's there to worry about?
"Go, three days later, the rain will fall, which is also the beginning of the Xu family to clear their grievances."
Xu Chengbi took a deep look at Linglong, but Linglong suddenly smiled at him: "If you don't leave, will I kiss you again?"
Xu Chengbi's handsome face was instantly dyed with a thin red, but it was a little Ping An, who seemed to understand what "kiss" meant, grabbed Linglong's hand and pressed it to his face, and stuck his small mouth up. However, it was the first time that he was a relative, and he didn't know it at all. His mouth was close, and he looked clumsy and cute.
This is really the cutest kind of human cubs Linglong has ever seen. She immediately left Xu Chengbi behind and chased him away. Xu Chengbi reluctantly glanced at the big and small, although she really wanted to Stay to accompany him, but he still has a lot of things to do after all.
When Xu Chengbi left, Xiao Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. He was only a little old, but he was old-fashioned. Linglong said he was taking him, but in fact, he put him aside to play occasionally. , When it comes to taking care of you, isn't there still a servant?
But Xiao Ping An was kissing her, and Linglong also guessed that it might be because she devoured Concubine Xu's soul, maybe it was because of Xiao Ping's extraordinaryness that she could detect it.
In three days, the news of the rain was enough to reach the capital, but the emperor didn't have time to be happy, when he heard the following sentence of not giving the capital, he immediately became annoyed: "Who is lying to confuse the public? Give it to me. Get him!"
The **** who reported back and forth shivered: "Back to the emperor, there are rumors outside and outside..."
Maybe only he himself knows whether the emperor believes in gods and Buddhas, but if the rain is really falling from the sky but not the capital, it must be the ruling ruler who has angered the sky, that is to say, the emperor's virtue does not match , is not worthy to be this emperor at all!
Although I don't want to admit that I'm a stupefied king, and I'm even more unwilling to admit that I've done a lot of stupid things, and I can't do anything about the current predicament, it's absolutely impossible for the emperor to give up the dragon chair under his ass— - How could he be willing?
The moment Longyan was furious, he immediately sent someone to investigate the source of the rumor.
However, before I could find out the results, the next day it rained heavily, and the land that had been cracked for months was finally moistened, but the emperor's face was extremely blue, and there was no other reason - even it was raining outside the city, but the capital looked It was forgotten by God, and the rain curtain stopped abruptly outside the city wall. At this moment, the emperor felt numb in his scalp.
The emperor is not benevolent and can be crusaded.
He will be the target of all the blame, and the accusations he desperately tried to escape from will still befall him.
After ascending the throne, not only did he fail to display his ambitions as he wished, but he was constrained everywhere, how could the emperor bear it in his heart! When Concubine Chang in the harem heard about this, she also felt strange. Could it be that there are really gods and Buddhas in the world?
Unfortunately, she is a concubine and cannot leave the palace. Otherwise, she would really like to witness this wonder with her own eyes.
Heavy rain fell for three days and three nights, and the victims hugged and cried bitterly. At this moment, Xu Chengbi frankly expressed his identity and raised his arms - that was what the people wanted, and everyone returned!
Learning that Xu Chengbi not only did not die, but secretly built an extra army, and even rebuilt the Xu family army, the emperor finally lost his legs and could no longer stand. He collapsed in the dragon chair, unable to climb for a long time. stand up.
After this, he seemed to know that his death was approaching. He didn't care about anything else, and he didn't even go to the morning. The emperor doesn't care. He wants to indulge in the last days of his life, what does other people's life and death have to do with him? !
Xu Chengbi has promulgated new laws in the places he occupies, especially in the handling of the early days of the disaster. In addition, he reduced or exempted the people's taxes for two years, and ordered people to build water conservancy and dig canals to connect the world's water systems and prevent natural disasters.
These projects also gave the displaced victims a chance to eat. For a time, everyone knew about General Xu, and they called the emperor on the dragon chair a dazed ruler.
The emperor turned a deaf ear to this. He fell asleep frantically with women, drinking and enjoying himself, admiring the beauties, and even dancing with the beauties with great interest. Until the Xu family invaded the capital, he heard the noise outside. , I remembered the man who made me jealous and disgusted, remembered the father and emperor who told me before his death, we must reuse Xu Chengbi, and we must trust Xu Chengbi. If you can't suppress your inner doubts and uneasiness, you can take his power and keep his name. Never take his life.
He didn't listen to his father, and that's why he ended up like this.
Thinking about it now, the emperor suddenly realized that it had been a long time since no one had spoken the truth to him. That Chang Shihua, who made him fall in love with love at first sight, was either cynical or eccentric when he saw him. His temper became more and more violent and strange, and he was obedient to him. At this time, the emperor remembered that it was Xu Chengbi's sister.
Concubine Xu... What is her boudoir name? The emperor doesn't remember, I just remember that she was a very beautiful and gentle woman, but because she was too gentle, she looked boring, neither flattering nor flattering, every time I saw him, he would say a lot of what he didn't like to hear. If so, he gradually stopped going to her, and even turned his anger on Xu Concubine because of his disgust for Xu Chengbi. Thinking about it now, it's really ridiculous.
He is not as good as Xu Chengbi. It turned out that he was doomed a long time ago.
When Xu Chengbi entered the palace, the emperor had already committed suicide in the hall. He was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. He didn't put his original partner in his heart at all, let alone Concubine Chang.
The first emperor did not have many sons, and only the emperor survived to adulthood, and the emperor's harem was full of chaos, and few concubines who were pregnant with dragon seeds were born, the only one who had hope of giving birth to him Concubine Xu, who had children, committed suicide to seek a way out for Xu Chengbi. The funny thing is that the emperor left such an edict before his death. Why?
Is he guilty? Regret?
But what's the point of that?
Worthless to Xu Chengbi at least because his family is gone.
The world thought that Xu Chengbi would take the opportunity to become the emperor and change the dynasty, but unexpectedly, he did not replace him, but pushed a little baby who was a little over two years old on the dragon chair. The ministers thought they understood, so they wrote letters to persuade Xu Chengbi to be the regent.
Who doesn't understand this routine? Be the regent for two years, wait for the little emperor to look almost the same, and then let the little emperor take the throne. Only then can he succeed the throne justifiably!
But they really thought about it too much. Xu Chengbi had no idea of becoming an emperor at all, and he did not hide the identity of Xiao Ping'an, and with him, no one dared to act rashly - General Qiu surrendered before, and later recovered Xu Jiajun, the one with the biggest fist is the boss, and the ministers are no longer the arrogant and difficult to deal with when the emperor was in power.
Even if Xu Chengbi hadn't broken his arm, he wouldn't be the emperor. He didn't long for this position. He just wanted to continue guarding this country as the Xu family. And now, he wants to pay allegiance to his nephew in return for his sister's kindness.
Although Xiao Ping'an had never been an emperor, the silence he had cultivated when he was a young man because he fled everywhere successfully made him appear particularly calm and potential in the eyes of the ministers. No one knew that he was actually panicking to death. Even when he was hugged by Xu Chengbi to Linglong, he ran to her crying, shouting, "Cool! Cool!"
Linglong screamed and stabbed him in the forehead: "Who are you calling your mother? I'm not your mother."
He didn't listen, he still called her cold, and climbed on top of her with all four limbs. After successfully climbing up, he slipped into Linglong's arms tightly, grabbing her clothes and shivering. Obviously, the wave just scared him. .
Linglong thinks that Xiao Ping'an is so funny, her head is hidden and her **** is exposed, just like a little ostrich.
She reached out and squeezed the little guy's butt, and she was fluttering with no meat, except that there was a little more meat in this place.
Xiao Ping moved and tried harder to drill into her arms. Xu Chengbi looked angry and funny from the side, so he wanted to take this little guy out, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was photographed ruthlessly by Linglong. Side: "Be honest with me and sit down!"
Xu Chengbi went to the side and sat on the side. Xiao Ping'an had had enough in Linglong's arms before he secretly revealed a small furry head. Today, all this is really terrible for him. There are a lot of People who don't know him kneel and kowtow to him and call him the emperor. How does he know what the emperor is, and the emperor can't eat it!
Linglong followed Xiao Ping'an's back and noticed that the tender soul in this small body gradually stabilized. It's amazing... I really want to know how it was done. If it is with hope and obsession, Linglong may never be able to achieve it, because she has no hope or obsession, and without these emotions, she cannot create a soul.
Hey, but thinking about it now, it seems like... a long, long time ago, she once made a puppet out of her dragon scales and threw it in a certain world. When the doll dies, according to the degree of power consumption, some dragon scales will disappear into light, and some dragon scales will return to the barren sea, but there seems to be an exception.
One of the dolls she made gave birth to a soul.
When did it happen?
Ah... can't remember.
Linglong scratched his face and was very distressed. When Xiao Ping An saw her like this, he also scratched her face like her. Obviously, he was also very distressed. Linglong couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, and Xiao Ping An also laughed stupidly. , Xu Chengbi was happy when he saw that the two of them were happy. Although his face was not obvious, his eyebrows and eyes were very gentle.
At this time, a maid came in and reported that it was the empress who was making a fuss in the harem, clamoring to see Xu Chengbi.
Linglong took a look at Xu Chengbi, and Xu Chengbi was also surprised. He didn't do anything to the concubines in the emperor's harem, but he didn't bother to care. As long as they were honest, they could still stutter.
Linglong asked: "Are you sure you're right? It's the Empress, not Concubine Chang?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Miss Hui, it is indeed the Empress who wants to see General Xu, not Concubine Chang. Concubine Chang copied Buddhist scriptures for the late emperor in her palace, and has never come out. "
Linglong immediately praised: "It's so touching, she's really a good woman who values love and righteousness."
