Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 347 Xie Hong’s plan to imprison the immortal!

Yaoxian Tower is a spire building.

The first floor occupies the largest area.

The higher you go, the smaller the area becomes.

As for the topmost floor, the fourth floor, it has become a small attic and is also the most distinguished place.

Even the emperor of Da Qi was not qualified to go up there. It was specially set up for Prime Minister Su Jing and the three gentlemen of the academy.

Above the third floor were people from the nine major families and the royal family, plus a dozen high-ranking officials in the court, a total of only more than forty people.

This is also the most powerful person in Bian Jing, and even in the entire Da Qi.

Xie Hong and Old Lady Xie were among them.

The nine major surnames are intermarried and are all familiar with each other.

Talk in twos and threes.

Xie Hong looked up and noticed a middle-aged man in a jade belt and golden dragon robe in the crowd. His chin was covered with stubble. He was holding a small Gu in his left hand, teasing the cricket inside. He seemed quite leisurely and somewhat out of tune with the people around him.

Xie Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. This person was the emperor of Da Qi, the nominal master of this country, Chen Yan.

pity!

This Emperor Xianhe was a person pushed to the front by the nine major surnames and was regarded as a puppet.

After the palace coup in the third year of Xianhe, Emperor Chen Yan became obsessed with Taoist practices and entertainment, and the government affairs became increasingly neglected, with national affairs gradually being neglected.

On Chen Yan's right was a gorgeous and elegant woman, wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robe. She was indescribably dignified and elegant, with a moving look in her eyes, chatting and laughing with the people around her.

This person is the Queen of Da Qi, Zhuge Nanyue.

Next to Empress Zhuge was the person Zhao Yang loved, Zhuge Ziqing, who had both male and female looks and was extremely noble.

also!

On the left side of the third floor are the people from the temple. There sits an old man, Tang Ziang, who is known as the sick tiger of the Ministry of Rites.

All the people in the court gathered around him.

A few people also gathered around Xie Hong, including the Sima family and the Li family, who were on good terms with the Xie family.

The two generals of the Li family have been stationed in the north for two or three years and have not returned to Bianliang.

Only a kind-faced old lady from the Li family came with her two wives.

The Xie family and the Li family, two groups of people greeted with smiles.

The two old ladies were familiar with each other, so they chatted naturally.

At this time, the banquet of beauties officially began.

The stage was brightly lit, with singing and dancing, adding a touch of liveliness and festivity to the banquet.

A lot of people gathered at the fence on the third floor, admiring the neon dance below.

however!
The Emperor of the Great Qi, however, seemed to have no interest in all this. His eyes were only focused on the cricket in the cup, as if he didn't care about anyone at all.

The Queen Zhuge did not pay much attention to Chen Yan. Instead, she took Zhuge Ziqing and walked towards the people gathered at the Xie family, leaving only the Emperor of Da Qi.

Zhuge Nanyue looked at Xie Hong with a different look in her eyes.

"Thank you, Mr. Xie. How are you? It seems like eight years have passed since we met at Qingliang Temple."

"Mr. Xie is still as charming as ever."

Zhuge Ziqing was tall and slender, dressed in a snow-white robe and a jade crown on his head. His appearance was even more gentle and beautiful than that of a woman.

Especially the dot of cinnabar in the middle of his forehead, which was like the finishing touch, making him look bright and attractive, as if he had walked out of a painting.

"Ziqing, meet Mr. Xie."

Xie Hong was dressed in a simple cloth robe and looked at Queen Zhuge with deep eyes. There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including struggle and helplessness.

He bowed slightly and said in a steady and respectful voice: "Xie Hong, I meet the queen."

Old Lady Xie, who was standing nearby, witnessed this scene and felt mixed emotions. She couldn't help but let out a sigh.

There are too many pasts and entanglements hidden behind this banquet.

She simply left with the old lady of the Li family.

Her tone showed a concern for the Xie family that she had never had before, "Hong'er, mother and Li's eldest sister-in-law are going to take a stroll."

Xie Hong nodded.

With the departure of Old Lady Xie and Old Lady Li, only Xie Hong, Queen Zhuge and Zhuge Ziqing were left on the field.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Empress Zhuge looked at the old lady's departing back, her eyes revealing a sigh: "The old lady is still the same as before."

"If she hadn't disagreed back then, I might still be calling her mother now."

When the Queen said this, she was actually showing contempt for the imperial power.

How can a queen say such words?

Zhuge Ziqing on the side didn't seem to care.

The affair between Xie Hong and Empress Zhuge had already caused a sensation in Bianliang at that time, and it was known to almost everyone in the nine major families.

It was only after Empress Zhuge entered the harem that Mr. Xie married and had children.

This Queen Zhuge has lived in the harem for many years, but has never given birth to a son.

Empress Zhuge saw some gray and black hair mixed in with Xie Hong's hair.

"Brother Hong, you have aged a lot."

An extremely affectionate name.

Xie Hong's eyes finally showed some emotion, and his tone became gentler.

"Nanyue, you haven't changed at all."

Zhuge Nanyue smiled and said, "How do you know I haven't changed? The harem is so deep and dense, and I don't know how many women have lost their lives here."

"You know my personality. I have never been a caged bird. What I long for is to ride a horse and whip in the rivers and lakes."

"Brother Hong, you taught me to read and write since I was young, and taught me martial arts. Have you ever thought about what I want in my heart?"

Hearing this, Xie Hong slowly closed his eyes, as if reminiscing about the past.

Back then, of the three heroes of the Xie family, the eldest brother entered the official career, the second brother Xie Ling joined the army, and only Xie Hong stayed at home, taking care of his old mother and studying hard.

Zhuge Nanyue, because her aunt was recuperating, was able to grow up in the Xie family, and the two were childhood sweethearts.

now!

Zhuge Nanyue changed the subject and asked softly, "Brother Hong, do you regret it?"

Xie Hong heard this and shook his head gently, "No regrets."

The two words were so powerful that they echoed in my heart.

Zhuge Nanyue slowly moved to the edge of the fence, leaned on the railing and looked out. He saw four square stages below, with four areas A, B, C, and D arranged in an orderly manner, and it was very lively.

Being at such a high place, one really gets the feeling of "standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking all the other mountains".

Everyone around seemed to have wisely retreated, leaving a quiet space.

Even Zhuge Ziqing, who was not far away, just stood far away and remained silent.

Although there were people around paying attention to their conversation, for some reason they couldn't hear their voices.

Even if you listen carefully, there is no sound.

Offstage!

Cheers rose one after another, and the Neon Dance had reached its climax. The graceful dance moves made countless audiences fall in love with it, and many people stood up and applauded, very excited.

The people on both sides of the river also cheered loudly.

Zhuge Nanyue's voice was soft, with a barely perceptible hint of worry.

"Brother Hong, I guessed it since the day you stepped out of Qingliang Temple and entered Xie Mansion."

"Are you determined to plunge into these turbulent waves?"

Xie Hong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

"If not, what is the meaning of the civil and military skills that I, Xie Hong, have learned?"

Zhuge Nanyue sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness and sadness in her tone: "But after today, this Bianjing, this vast world, will probably fall into endless turmoil, and it will be difficult to see the prosperity of today again."

"Killing one person may seem simple, but in reality it is like killing tens of millions of innocent people."

"Is this really worth it?" She stared into Xie Hong's eyes.

Xie Hong shook his head, his tone heavy, "This world has long been riddled with holes, like lambs in a pen, with no freedom at all."

"If you only treat the symptoms without removing the root cause, it will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Nanyue looked even more worried, with slightly red eyes.

"But there are so many heroes in this world, why you?"

Xie Hong smiled and said: "Why can't it be me?"

After that, the two of them looked at each other in silence.

Zhuge Nanyue suddenly said, "You let Xie Ling suffer a great defeat on the battlefield in the west, and then did not return to the capital for many years. In fact, it was to leave a way out for the Xie family, right?" "When the banquet ends today, the world will surely fall into chaos. At that time, Xie Ling can take the opportunity to raise an army in the west."

Xie Hong just said: "Yes and no!"

Xie Hong said goodbye and left, passing by Zhuge Nanyue.

A voice sounded in Zhuge Nanyue's ears, "Be careful of Chen Yan."

"He died in the third year of Xianhe."

Chen Yan is the current Emperor of Great Qi.

Xie Hong did not stop and walked straight to the side of Old Lady Xie.

Old Madam Xie looked at Zhuge Nanyue, the Queen of Great Qi, who was still standing on the side in a daze.

"Hong'er, you don't blame your mother, do you?"

"Nanyue is a good girl, it's just a pity."

Xie Hong shook his head gently, "Mom, I have never blamed you."

Old Lady Xie said softly: "Hong'er, have you been worried about your mother since you came home this time?"

"Hong'er, you have been sensible since you were young. I will support you in whatever you do."

"The Xie family is responsible for your actions."

A wise child is better than his mother.

The old lady had already noticed the difference during this period for the youngest child she had raised.

After hearing this, Xie Hong's expression became even gloomier.

Old Lady Xie patted the back of Xie Hong's hand and said, "With your personality, if Ling'er had such a big problem, you wouldn't just ignore it."

"If it is a disaster that will exterminate the family, I hope Hong'er can protect himself. As long as we have you and Ling'er, the Xie family will not fall."

Xie Hong's face looked more miserable.

at this time!

The door to the attic on the fourth floor was gently pushed open.

Everyone on the third floor heard it and looked up at the same time.

A thin old man, wearing a loose green robe, his face was full of wrinkles, but one could still see his handsome features when he was young, but now he looked like a dead tree in the mountains.

Under his gray and sparse eyebrows, there was a faint gleam in the old man's eyes.

He was slowly walking down with the help of a middle-aged man.

Everyone present had different expressions.

Everyone on the second and first floors of the Yaoxian Building stood up, not daring to say a word.

No one dared to be negligent and all bowed, even the Emperor Chen Yan of Da Qi did the same.

The old man was Su Xiang.

Su Xiang slowly walked down the stairs and headed towards the first floor.

Everyone stood there, looking towards the entrance to the first floor.

at this time!

On the first floor, a dozen Confucian disciples with deep auras walked in.

Everyone has guessed that the academy is here!
People on the three floors above and below were all looking for that figure.

Xie Hong was standing on the mezzanine on the third floor, looking at a middle-aged man standing behind several academy disciples on the first floor.

The middle-aged man was tall and slender. He wore a slightly gray scholar's robe, with smooth black hair draped over his shoulders. His facial features were ordinary, but for some reason, when put together on his face, he looked indescribably handsome.

"Meet Mr. San."

Respectful voices rang out in the Yaoxian Tower.

This person is none other than Mr. Three of the academy’s teachers, and he has not been to the academy for decades.

Everyone looked surprised.

It seems that since their time, Mr. San in his memory has always looked like this.

Rumor has it that Mr. San was born into a wealthy family and had lived a life of luxury since childhood.

Su Jing had already walked to the door and was looking at his fellow disciple.

Su Jing looked like an old man, while Mr. San seemed to be middle-aged.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for many years."

Mr. San said nothing and walked up the stairs with a group of academy students.

Su Jing was not annoyed and followed closely behind.

Everyone was amazed, but some felt it should be so.

Who in Bian Jing dared to be so disrespectful to Prime Minister Su, except for a few gentlemen in the academy?

No one dares!

When Mr. San slowly walked up the stairs to the third floor, he paused and looked at Xie Hong who was on the third floor.

He frowned slightly, then ignored it and went straight to the fourth floor.

Su Jing also walked in.

The people downstairs watched them walk into the fourth floor.

The third teacher of the academy and the fourth teacher of the academy.

There was a lot of uproar at the time. Two hundred years after the Master went to the East China Sea to search for immortals, the academy was almost split into two due to the "Third and Fourth Dispute".

The great master fled to the Great Qi and became the imperial teacher of the Great Sui.

Mr. Er has been seriously ill and bedridden ever since.

From then on, the Great Qi began to decline, and the Great Sui emerged as a real rival to it.

The fate of Da Qi over the past two hundred years seems to be related to these two gentlemen.

now!

After many years, the two met again, and everyone was naturally looking forward to it.

Seeing this, Xie Hong disappeared on the third floor of the Qunfang Banquet without noticing.

In the mezzanine on the fourth floor, there were only two people sitting opposite each other.

Su Jing sighed, "I never thought I would have the chance to meet my senior brother in peace in this life."

Mr. San just closed his eyes and ignored it.

After the colorful dance on the square stage ended.

The woman in blue stood on the stage and bowed towards the fourth floor of Yaoxian Tower.

This time!

A mysterious atmosphere permeated Bian Jing.

Su Jing's face suddenly shook. This old man, who had never shown a look of surprise before, showed shock for the first time.

Mr. San also opened his eyes, which were full of disbelief, as if he sensed something incredible.

This incident was beyond their expectations.

"The God-Shocking Formation that has been built for seven hundred years... has started to move."

"Master painstakingly crafted this God-shaking Formation!"

The Shocking God Formation was known to all the people in Bianliang, the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, and even to everyone in the world.

The Jingshen Formation was built by the Master in order to protect the Bian Jing Academy. As long as the Jingshen Formation was there, even thousands of troops would find it difficult to break into Bian Jing.

As long as the Jingshen Formation is there, the people can feel at ease and Bianjing will always be there.

But Su Jing and Mr. San knew that the truth was not like this?

This was also a secret that the four disciples only learned within a hundred years.

Although this Shocking Array was built by the Master, it was not for the purpose of protecting Bian Jing, but was built according to ancient methods.

Its original name is the "Immortal Trapping" Formation, which is a formation that is said to have imprisoned immortals in heaven.

Once an immortal enters Bian Jing, this "immortal trapping formation" will start to operate and imprison the immortal inside.

However, what is surprising is that this formation has never had any movement since its construction, as if it was just an illusory legend.

How come it suddenly started working?

This "Imprison Immortal" formation is originally a sacrificial altar, as long as this formation is together.

All living things within the formation will be devoured by the formation and turned into nutrients.

But where do immortals come from in this world?
