Chapter 165
It was a winter with heavy snow.
For the masters in the city, winter is a good day. You can go out to walk in the snow together, or chant poems around the stove at home, lament the severe winter approaching, and praise Ao Xue Han Mei , Besides, the New Year is approaching, and every family will come to visit each other, and it’s not bad to pay a New Year’s greetings.
But this is not winter.
The real winter is more cruel.
Under the white snow, countless dead bones on the roadside were buried. Perhaps martial artists can be better, but among the billions of absolutely people in the world, martial artists after successfully cultivating it are only a few after all. The gap in food, the Royal Court's enquiries, and the biting cold wind are all bone-cutting steel knives.
In winter, it is difficult to survive.
If the Royal Court is willing to help, and the tax is not heavy, it may be much better. But unfortunately, the Royal Court that year was more cruel than winter.
That year,
The emperor of the Royal Court, the emperor of Legendary, True Dragon, suddenly became prosperous and wanted to go to the northern country to enjoy the so-called snowy scenery, but there But there was no matching palace, so under the suggestion of several eunuchs, the construction of the northern palace was put on the agenda.
As soon as the imperial decree comes out,
The world will move.
The best materials, the most manpower, and the fastest speed. In order to achieve this goal, let the emperor enjoy the most beautiful snow scene before the end of winter. The entire empire has taken action. Know how many people were recruited and braved the bitter wind to build that palace.
Cao Diao is one of them.
He is the youngest in the family, but he is a castrated person, so he is completely unwelcome at home. The Royal Court's enlistment order was issued. In order to save the big brother and second brother, his parents, I tried to find a way to unblock him and let him replace his own big brother and second brother, and accepted the Royal Court's enquiries under the false pretence.
He was 21 years old then.
As a member of the transport team transporting the building materials for the palace, Cao Diao embarked on the road to Northland. All the way down, I don't know how many companions died on the road.
And then-----
The team was intercepted.
Half of the team was transported to a place called Laobai Mountain. The master soldier who was in charge of leading the team in the first second still said that there were bandits in the vicinity, very fierce, and the bandits in the next second. He rushed out and chopped the soldier who had killed many people on the road into Muggles.
Next to the group of bandits, Cao Diao saw a five-and-three-thin man walking out, carrying a rusty machete, and said nonchalantly:
"From Starting today! You are my people!"
"Fuck with Lao Tzu."
"I will take you to eat well in the future!"
, Cao Diao became a glorious bandit.
Unexpectedly, Cao Diao, who was born in a rich family and never studied martial arts, was found to have quite good martial arts innate talent in the end.
Thanks to this, he got the favor of Boss.
The bandits didn't care about the eunuchs, so Cao Diao stayed in the bandit den, mixed and mixed, and actually became the fourth master.
He was twenty-five years old then.
And then-----
The bandit den is gone.
It was a dark and windy night. Like a few years ago, the Boss took them out and robbed them. At this time, the Royal Court is different from a few years ago. It seems to be the construction of the Northland Palace. Because of this, chaos has appeared everywhere in Central Plains, and news of uprisings has been heard one after another.
It's a pity that the emperor of Royal Court still doesn't learn a lesson.
This time he wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to play, so he started building construction again. I don't know how many people, like Cao Diao in the past, have since embarked on the Road of No Return.
As if history is repeating itself.
Boss took some people out, preparing to intercept and kill a team of officers and soldiers responsible for transporting materials, exactly the same as Cao Diao's team a few years ago.
But...the ending is different.
There is no other reason.
"You thugs, have the ambition to eat the leopard's guts, dare to grab Young Master's things!"
"Look for a fight!"
In the team, there was a young man who was about the same age as him at the time, or even younger. With one punch from the left and the right, he beat all the bandits into Muggles. Even the Boss himself went into battle. With a higher cultivation base, he failed to win the opponent and lost face.
After that, under the persuasion of the boy "Big Brother Zhao",
The two sides reconciled.
Everyone went to Laobai Mountain together.
So, the former Laobai Mountain 13 Grand Guardian, in a blink of an eye, turned into an uprising army for the world, and also made a rather fancy flag.
Three years have passed since then.
And those three years,
In Cao Diao's life, the most vivid, ardent and unforgettable three years.
As an infertile eunuch who inherited the family's incense, Cao Diao until now followed the crowd, and his parents wanted to replace the big brother and the second brother by himself, and he then went. When someone was forced to become a bandit, he also became a bandit, even if the boss wanted him to kill, he did the same.
He doesn't know what he can do.
So he chose to listen to others.
But----
"It doesn't matter if you have to follow the crowd."
"Follow me."
" What happened to the eunuch? Can't the eunuch have a dream? Isn't the eunuch a real man anymore? Follow me, I will take you to build an unprecedented achievement, when the time comes, all the people in the world will remember you, you To inherit the incense? When the time comes, I don’t know how many people want to be your son!"
He gave his life goal and affirmed his own value.
For parents, oneself is insignificant.
For Royal Court, I am insignificant.
But even so,
He still affirmed the value of own and hoped to get help from own. From that day on, Cao Diao vowed that he would never fail his approval.
And besides that person, there is one more person.
"Hey! Diao, I have learned the fighting skills you called me yesterday. Do you have any others?"
"Hey! Diao, I finally Breakthrough Foundation Establishment Realm, are you pretty good? It took me more than a month to surpass you."
"Hey! Mino..."
That was a young man who made himself envy and hate.
Genius.
Using these two words to describe him is an insult to him, and his existence always tells Cao Diao that the gap between people is sometimes really better than that between people and dogs. The gap between the two is still big, and it also completely shattered Cao Diao's confidence that "I actually have an innate talent".
But the boy gave Cao Diao another level of comfort.
"To be honest, I'm so amazing. The overwhelming majority Master was surpassed by me within ten days. Only Cao Diao, you wasted more than a month."
"Among mediocrities, you are still the more powerful one."
"Come on."
...Although the way of comfort is very strange.
But it is undeniable that in front of the boy, the eunuch is not important at all, what is it? There are probably only two kinds of people in his eyes: mediocrity and himself.
In the end, he got acquainted with the boy instead.
But time is always passing by.
Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. It is certain that the own youngster has become the new emperor, and the proud and arrogant teenagers also walked into Floating Clouds Mountain alone.
That time was a farewell.
"A Diao...I am about to die."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"After I die, I will follow the righteousness.. .. My younger brother will ascend to the throne, and my son will be handed over to you. You must raise him up and then assist him ascend the throne. Don’t let the fellow Xunzheng control the throne. Don’t fall into the hands of others."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"A Diao...I, I...I don’t want to die...I don’t want to die. .....!!!!"
"Your Majesty."
"....What's wrong?"
Here, that person’s The breathing has gradually become low, and the roar just now is his reflection, and Cao Diao finally couldn't bear it.
He said slowly:
"What is Lu Xingzhou for you?"
"Lu... OK... Zhou..."
The old man's lips trembled slightly, and his near-fuzzy eyes suddenly cleared. At that moment, Cao Diao seemed to see his youthful appearance again.
Following:
"Yes! Lu Xingzhou...Siao! You have to guard him! Don’t let him either the fish dies or the net splits.... .."
The man failed to speak to the end.
And Cao Diao didn't want to listen.
Because that was not the answer he wanted.
But in any case, he must repay that person's kindness. He used to have power and martial arts, so he has nothing to pursue.
If it weren't for that person's entrustment, he would have gone with it.
After a hundred years,
He did his best to let that man’s sons and grandsons ascend to the throne. He originally wanted to die like this, and he did not live up to that person's entrustment, but one day, that person's grandson suddenly found himself and asked himself out of the center of the earth to deal with a person:
Lu Xingzhou.
He once dared not think about this name, and once stopped in front of Floating Clouds Mountain, did not dare to meet him, but in the end, he still couldn't escape.
Grace.
Love and meaning.
"...Perhaps this is the best ending. I don't have to fight against you, and it's worthy of my heart."
----This is a lie of.
In fact, what Cao Diao asks himself the most sorry for is Lu Xingzhou. After all, when Lu Xingzhou walked into Floating Clouds Mountain, he did nothing.
But he really deserves to be a genius.
They all become Human Immortal.
Great.
"Grand Ancestor is so kind to me. Without Grand Ancestor, there would be no Cao Diao as it is today. The kindness is greater than the sky, so naturally I have to pay for it with my life, perhaps since I got this door in the center of the earth a hundred years ago. After the replacement, I have been looking forward to such a day. Death like this is my long-cherished wish."
Beside the ruined walls of the Medicinal King Temple, Cao Diao fell to the ground while sitting on the ground. Whispered.
His voice is very small.
But it doesn't matter.
"You should be able to hear it."
"...Say."
"I'm in front of the gate of Floating Clouds Mountain There are a few things buried under the rock of the town, which I got in the center of the earth back then, and I gave them all to you."
"What is this?"
" ........"
Cao Diao wanted to say it was compensation, but he couldn't say it anymore. It was compensation, it was just his wishful thinking that's all, and it didn't make any sense.
"Sorry."
tone barely fell, Cao Diao's cracked body was completely shattered, and the whole body was moved by pulling it, and it turned into a flying sky in a flash sand.
