The queen must start from the head

Chapter 180 The Road to Enlightenment
Opening the scroll, what did Mu Lian see?
A lady in palace attire with a tall cloud bun, wearing a tube top Confucian skirt that stretches the floor, smiled at Yan Yan, and was teasing a curly-haired puppy following her with the dog teasing rope in her hand.

This is one of the embroideries she made in Tianhai City in the past, and it is called "Picture of Ladies with Hairpins".

However, this is not the original "Picture of Lady with Hairpin Flowers".

I saw a corner of the embroidery, and I don't know who embroidered the word "Tao" on it.This person's embroidery skills and exercises are by no means inferior to hers.

Mu Lian's heart skipped a beat, she already guessed who made the scroll.

After Feng Guang handed in the scroll, he just watched and said nothing when he saw Mu Lian holding the scroll.

The Northern Qi monarchs and ministers who were standing at the gate of the city waiting to surrender also stretched their necks one by one, wondering what Mu Lian was looking at.

Mu Lian looked at Feng Guang and asked, "The person who asked you to send this thing, do you have anything to say?"

Feng Guang thought for a while, shook his head and said no.

The words Mr. An told him are not suitable to be said here.

Mu Lian put away the scroll and thought in her heart that the person who asked Feng Guang to send this thing must be An Yun.

This person claimed to be unparalleled in intelligence and wanted to win the world for Daqin, but because of her presence, the undefeated Daqin army was frustrated by Beiqi, and even had to sign a ten-year gentleman's agreement.

Afterwards, there were many disturbances against her in the imperial city, and it was this person who was behind the scenes.

Before An Yun asked Feng Guang to send her former embroidery, there was a word "Tao" left by Su Zhiyao on the embroidery, which made Mu Lian have to doubt the intention.

After she collected the scroll, she turned and left.

Feng Guang glanced at her leaving figure, turned his horse's head and returned to the gate of the city.

At this time, the mighty Qin army had already reached the gate of the city.

Soon, under the auspices of the envoy Lu, Feng Guang accepted the Northern Qi monarch's request to surrender on behalf of the Great Qin monarch, and sent troops to the city.

Since then, there has been no Northern Qi state in the world.

Now on this continent, the Great Qin State has almost won most of the rich territories.

Except for the Amon Kingdom in the extremely cold region of the extreme north and the two small countries in the high mountains in the southwest, only the Kingdom of Wei remained in the entire south, still stubbornly resisting.

-

The capital of Wei State.

Holding the secret letter he had just received, Mr. Wei Guoguo felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Didn't the old ancestor go to participate in the strangulation of Mu Sheng? Didn't he say that this time the arrangement is a lore game, so it must be foolproof? Why did the old ancestor die in Beiqi?!"

The secret agent who sent the letter replied, "According to the information we have found, the ancestor was cut off in the battle with Mu Sheng. After the two sides ceased fighting, the ancestor was going back to Wei. But we sent to respond When people rushed to the meeting point, what they saw was..."

The last words of the spy were not spoken.

But Wei Guoguo knew that what these people saw and took back was the cold corpse of their ancestors.

At this time, another eunuch suddenly came to submit an urgent letter to the frontier.

After reading the urgent letter, the king of Wei Guoguo was trembling with anger, and directly tore the urgent letter into pieces.

"Nonsense, nothing but nonsense!"

It turned out that the soldiers and horses of Great Qin, under the banner of being invited by Chen Guo, Yan Guo and other small countries, had already launched an attack on Wei Guodan's territory, saying that they wanted to avenge the Nanyue Kingdom that was destroyed by Wei Guo.

The dispatch also mentioned that because the Wei State attacked the Nanyue division without a name, it launched an unjust war.

This is simply ridiculous!
When Daqin destroyed Chu, Xia, Qing, and Liang earlier, why didn't he say that he launched an unjust war?

The more King Wei thought about this matter, the more he hated Qin.

The main force of the Qin army is marching in a hurry, attacking the city like a broken bamboo all the way, and within a month, they will be able to reach the capital of the state of Wei.

But now that the only saint in Wei State is dead, and his Wei State's army is far inferior to that of Da Qin, how can we fight this battle?
The King of Wei even had to suspect that the so-called killing plan set up by Mr. An was not to kill the saint at all, but saints from other countries like them!
Otherwise, why in the first battle of the saints, only the saints of Wei and Northern Qi died, and the saints of Daqin had nothing to do?

Seeing the monarch of Wei Guoguo walking back and forth restlessly in the room, an old eunuch who had been by his side for many years stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to make a decision."

"Make a decision? How should a widow make a decision? He Daqin killed my Wei State sage, do I still have to kowtow to beg for mercy when my bones are broken?!"

The monarch's voice was already filled with anger.

The old eunuch looked calm, as if the person who was sprayed with saliva was not him.

"If you fight recklessly right now, the fish will die, and the net will not be broken. Right now, only if you choose to surrender, can your Majesty and the members of the royal family behind you have a way out."

When the monarch heard this, he stopped suddenly, his eyes on the old eunuch had already turned cold.

"Eunuch Huang, it doesn't look like you're going to say these words? Tell me the truth, have you been bribed by someone, and that's why you came to persuade me to surrender?"

Eunuch Huang's face twitched, he didn't expect that the other party really guessed right by mistake.

It's just that he was not bought by someone, but that he has never belonged to the king of Wei.

"Your Majesty, because we have been together for many years, I can only tell you that the person who is the co-lord of the world has been appointed by default. This person can only be the King of Qin. This is the will of the heavens. Anyone who violates the will of the heavens will be punished." It will be crushed to pieces!"

If Li Tianming were here, he would definitely feel that these words are so familiar, almost exactly the same as what his biological father of the fake monarch said to him.

Wei Guoguo sneered and said, "God's will? What is God's will? His surname won, but he did a deceitful 'asking for judgment', and he really regarded himself as the messenger chosen by the will of God? How can he rule the world? Is he the one? Could it be because his name is Ying Zheng? It's ridiculous!"

The monarch's words were full of sarcasm, and Eunuch Huang's face turned slightly cold after hearing it.

"Your Majesty, you mean to refuse to surrender and to fight to the death with Great Qin, right?"

The monarch of Wei State was getting angry, and said casually, "A battle to the death is a battle to the death! Could it be that there is no one in Wei State?"

"Then the old slave can only ask His Majesty to die!"

what? !

Just as he was about to speak, Eunuch Huang took out a short knife from his sleeve and cut off the monarch's neck neatly.

"Your Highness, please come out from behind the screen!"

As he finished speaking, a young man in a yellow brocade robe came out from behind the screen in the inner room.

Eunuch Huang said without changing his face, "After receiving the urgent letter, His Majesty was furious and passed away. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and please His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, immediately succeed the general and preside over the overall situation!"

His face was slightly pale, and he bowed to Eunuch Huang tremblingly, "Everything is under the arrangement of Eunuch Huang."

On that day, the monarch of the Wei Kingdom passed away suddenly, and the crown prince succeeded him as the new monarch.

The next day, the new emperor issued an imperial edict, announcing his voluntary surrender to the Great Qin State.

When the Qin soldiers and horses marched to the city of the king of Wei, the new army led all the civil and military officials to submit letters of surrender to the envoys.

On this day, there will be no Wei State in the world.

This time, it took less than three months for the Great Qin army to go south, and it took less than three months to pacify the countries in one fell swoop.

The Ammon Kingdom and the two small countries in the southwestern high mountain area also quickly bowed their heads to Great Qin.

Since then, the Great Qin State has come out on top among all the lords and officially ruled the world.

The king of Qin, Yingzheng, prayed to heaven and offered sacrifices to heaven and earth. The name of the country was Qin, and it was known as the Great Qin Dynasty in history.

Because he was the first emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, he called himself the "First Emperor".

After the collapse of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, another new dynasty has risen.

-

To the east of Penglai, there are fairy mountains, which are in the midst of nothingness.

On the blue sea, stands a towering mountain peak.

On the mountain peak, the palace is surrounded by the palace, and the fairy music is fluttering in the palace, and there are many guests coming and going.

A group of maids with snow-skinned and beautiful appearances walked among the banquets, holding jade plates of various fairy fruits, with beautiful postures.

At the head of the main hall, sat a fairy with white hair and a childlike face.

At the lower left of him, there is a woman who is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her. Her demeanor is as beautiful as a fairy concubine, and any woman present is eclipsed in front of her.

This woman is none other than Su Zhiyao, the former owner of the Embroidered Girl Workshop.

When all the guests arrived, the immortal raised his glass and said, "Today, I will hold the Enlightenment Ceremony for my beloved disciple. Thank you all distinguished guests for coming. I will drink this first glass of wine as a respect!"

"Where is that, Immortal He is too polite!"

All the guests responded quickly, and also raised their glasses to take a sip of the fine nectar.

Next, there will be a feast for the guests.

After the guests had all dispersed, the protagonist at today's banquet slowly stood up and came to salute and bid farewell to his master.

Immortal He shook the jade wine glass in his hand and said, "You have already entered the Tao, and the next step is to cultivate the Tao and become an immortal. Let those old things in the lower realms pass, and don't worry about them anymore."

Su Zhiyao was startled, did Master already know what she did to Mu Lian?
She looked up at the master, but the latter waved his hand to signal her to back down.

After Su Zhiyao stood up and said goodbye, she walked out of the hall and walked to her residence.

Along the way, the maids and servants who saw her saluted her one after another.

She didn't care, but was thinking about other things.

A few days ago, An Yun came to look for her after returning from the lower realm.He said that the killing plan he set up for Mu Lian was likely to be changed by some people, so he came to her to find a treasure that could kill Mu Lian.

Killing that woman was something she had always been thinking about.She had already planted means on the other party, but it was a pity that after she came to the upper realm, she couldn't escape to complete this matter.

So after the two hit it off, she handed over the primer to An Yun.

Now that I think about it, that thing should have happened, right?
-

On the vast Gobi Desert, wind and sand blow by in bursts, setting off dust all over the sky.

A cyan figure crossed the deserted Gobi Desert and headed for the high mountains ahead.

In a small crevice, there is a stream that melts from the snow on the top of the mountain, turns into a trickle, and flows by.

Standing in front of the trickle, Mu Lian stretched out her hand to grab a handful of clear and cold water, and splashed it on her face.

Then she took a few sips of water with her hands and drank it directly into her stomach.

After finishing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief, found a clean stone and sat down.

After blowing the dust for half a month, she finally found a clean place.

At this moment, the slime lying on Mulian's head jumped onto her shoulders, and then jumped all the way into the stream behind her, taking a comfortable soak in the cold water for a while.

In order not to become enlightened, this little lotus seed actually sealed the ultimate holy power in her body.

She herself was like an ascetic along the way, stopping and eating all the sand and dust, and her handsome and charming face was also haggard from the exhaustion.

While thinking, it cast a sad little look at the person in front.

It's a pity that Mu Lian was looking at the blue sky and white clouds floating above her head at this moment, and didn't notice it at all.

The altitude of the alpine mountain is high, the air is thin, but the sky is extremely blue.

The sky seemed so close, so close that Mu Lian even had the feeling that she could touch her with her hand.

The clouds in the sky are floating and changing in shape.

Mu Lian looked at it, and unconsciously drew the shape of the cloud with her hand.

With the dancing of her fingers, the familiar embroidery feel returned, as if she could outline a world at will with each stitch.

Between heaven and earth, there is wind, rain, grassland, and galloping horses...

Everything in the world has its shape, the shape is outside, and the meaning is inside. If you get the meaning of all things, you can draw the shape of all things.

Unknowingly, her fingers drew faster and faster, and every time they slid across the void, there was a wave invisible to the naked eye, like invisible water waves rippling.

When Slime came back from the bath, it was about to jump onto Mu Lian's legs, but it seemed to hit an invisible screen and slid directly to the ground.

It looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be possessed by a demon, and his hands were drawing something at a dizzying speed on his chest, and he blew at the tuft of hair hanging down on his forehead.

It seems that Xiao Lianzi's penance practice is still effective, and she finally found the opportunity to enter the Tao.

After little lotus seed becomes enlightened, it will go to the mysterious upper realm with her to play.

The saints here in the lower realm have no eyesight, so there will always be people with eyesight in the upper realm who can see it, right?

It was thinking wildly, when suddenly a violent aura gushed out from Mu Lian's body, directly blowing the unsuspecting it onto the rocks behind it.

"Bah bah bah!"

It quickly spit out the moss it ate into its mouth, and bounced towards Mu Lian's direction.

At this time, within one meter of Mu Lian, the extremely violent breath of holy power had already been occupied.

Slime knew that it was the holy power that had been sealed by Mu Lian before unsealed on his own. Seeing that the other party's face was flushed and his eyes were closed, it seemed that he was at a critical moment to enter the Tao.

It cheered up immediately and began to patrol around Mu Lian.

Still in that vast world, between the water and the sky, a familiar figure was walking alone with a long knife on his back.

Mu Lian knew that that person was herself.

She lifted her foot and walked towards him.

The man stopped suddenly, looked at her, and asked, "Who are you?"

Mu Lian replied, "I am you, and you are me."

The man asked again, "What is Tao?"

"Tao is change, it is change, Tao has no form, but it has form, there is true meaning in it, and there is truth in it."

The man nodded, and immediately pulled out the long knife behind him, pointing the tip at Mu Lian.

"Where's your knife?"

my knife?

Mu Lian subconsciously reached out to pull out the knife behind her, but it was empty when she took it.

Before she could speak, the opponent's knife had already swung towards her.

Mu Lian dodged quickly, but the other party still drew a bloodstain on her left arm.

Looking at the bloodstain on her left arm, she seemed to realize something in her heart, and immediately stretched out her right hand, and shouted, "Come on knife!"

In the sky, a snow-white long knife flew straight towards Mu Lian in an instant, and landed firmly in her hand, making a crisp cry.

Mu Lian turned the blade, pointed at the opponent and said, "This is my knife!"

The other party said nothing, and rushed towards her with a knife.

Mu Lian immediately raised her arms to fight back.

I saw the two long knives making fierce collision sounds from time to time, and the countless lights of the knives were like rushing water and floating stones, their momentum was unparalleled, and they were extremely fierce.

After the two sides fought for a long time, the opponent suddenly stopped, and the knife in Mu Lian's hand was worn out due to the move, and she stabbed the opponent's chest with one knife.But just an inch into it, she immediately pulled it back.

Strangely, no blood flowed from the opponent's wound.

The other party looked at her and said, "In your saber, I see the will to fight, the will to kill, and the benevolence to forgive. This is your way of the sword. Congratulations, this is also the first way you have realized. .”

As the voice fell, the figure immediately dissipated in place.

Before Mu Lian could react, the world changed in the next second.

What was originally a vast and uninhabited world turned into a bustling market in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the people coming and going around her, and listening to the voices of people speaking, Mu Lian realized something in her heart, "Just now the test was my Dao of the Sword, but this time the test is the relationship between me and sentient beings?"

Following her change of thought, the bustling market instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

In the sea of ​​flames, countless people were being burned by the flames, and they were screaming incomparably.

The smell of burnt meat seems to be easily smelt with the nose.

Mu Lian's heart trembled. Is this the scene when Tianhai City encountered the sky fire burning the city?
Among the burning flames, there was a figure walking towards Mu Lian.

It cried out to Mu Lian in a mournful voice, "Why, why didn't you come to save me when you were clearly capable? Didn't you come to save the people in this city?"

Mu Lian recalled what had happened for a moment, and said calmly, "I have already been saved. I tried my best to get everyone out of the city to avoid the sky fire, but there are still many people who are unwilling to leave the city, even those who have already left the city. The people ran back again. So it’s not that I don’t want to save you, but that you don’t even want to save yourself.”

The flame man said again, "You are lying! You are lying to me! You are a selfish person, how could you save others?!"

Mu Lian frowned and said, "I know what I have done by myself. As long as you want, you can call me a liar, a bad person, and pour any sewage on my head. But it is not something I have done. , I won't admit it. I can't do the self-deception like you are doing at this moment. "

The flame man was silent for a long time after hearing this, and the screams of the people in the fire behind him also stopped.

"You have a firm heart, you have your own beliefs and principles, you will not waver, and you will not follow the trend. No one or anything can reverse this. Congratulations, this is a way you have realized. That is The way you choose will be guarded by you!"

After the flame man finished speaking, he disappeared together with the soaring flames behind him.

Will the Tao I choose be guarded by myself?

Mu Lian chewed on these words silently, and when she looked up again, the scene changed, and it was an antique boudoir for women.

In the boudoir, a young woman is doing her makeup in the mirror with her back turned.

After realizing that Mu Lian's gaze was on her, the young woman slowly turned her head, her tone was calm and unrestrained, "You are finally here. Mu Lian, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

After seeing the person's face clearly, Mu Lian's pupils shrank, she stared at the person's face firmly and said, "Yes, I'm here."
