National Division

As if the second thunderbolt broke something, the third and fourth thunderbolts came quickly and urgently, hitting the golden light continuously, causing the golden light curtain to ripple continuously, but it never stopped. He couldn't break it, but he was swallowed back by the golden light.

Qi Jun stood at the edge of the woods and watched anxiously, until he saw the four flashes of lightning and couldn't help but understand, then he was a little relieved.But before he could catch his breath, the fifth flash of lightning fell again.This streak was as thick as a finger, and the golden light swayed wildly, and the unswallowed white light hit the ground, and immediately there was a scorched black mark. The rain fell on the mark, and layers of water vapor rose up, making a chirping sound.

Qi Jun's heart suddenly rose again, and the sixth lightning was thicker than the fifth. Although it was finally swallowed by the golden light, it shone outside the golden light for a long time.I don't know if it was reflected by the golden light, but he felt that Zhibai's face was also a little yellow, and his hands that were slightly raised had moved higher and higher, from his knees to his chest.

There was a dead silence, only the soft sound of the rainwater hitting the ground, which was rushing and tight, pulling people's hearts tighter and tighter.Suddenly there was an explosion, and a beam of lightning as thick as an arm blasted down from the middle sky, almost rushing down from the top of Zhibai's head. The ball of golden light three inches away has shrunk almost invisible.Before the white light disappeared completely, the eighth electric light bombarded down again. The beam of light was as thick as Qi Jun's arm. With a loud bang, the golden light and the white light disappeared together, and Zhibai spat out a mouthful of blood. Fall on your back.

Qi Jun rushed over with a stride.As soon as he rushed to Zhibai's side, the ninth thunderbolt struck down.This flash of lightning was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and it was not as bright as the previous flashes of white light, but Qi Jun was able to look up and see a phantom in the thick beam of light. There are two wings, but there is a rooster's mouth on the face, and a pair of arms grow under the two wings, holding something like an ax in each hand, rushing straight down from the beam of light.

Qi Jun didn't even have time to think.Seeing that the monster had rushed to the top of his head, and the twin axes were shrouded in lightning, and he was about to strike at the top of Zhibai's head, he shouted loudly, and swung the Zhanlu sword in his hand to meet it.

Zhan Lujian's body was gleaming with cold light, and the tip of the sword suddenly spit out a section of azure sword light, and met the lightning-shrouded axe.As soon as the sword light touched the electric light, the sword light dissipated suddenly, and the white electric light wrapped around the Zhanlu sword like a poisonous snake. The sword trembled violently, and it made a crying sound, almost being crushed into a bow shape. .

Although he didn't know what the phantom in the beam of light was, Qi Jun also knew in his heart that if the electric light entangled him all the way along Zhanlu, he would be the one who died!The pressure from the sword seemed to be extremely heavy, the wrist shook violently, the tiger's mouth split open, and blood had already seeped out and stained the hilt.Qi Jun tensed his legs back and forth, held the sword in both hands, exhaled suddenly and let out a sound, dragged the sword a foot away with all his strength, and swung it back fiercely.At this moment, the lightning had wrapped around the hilt of the sword, and the blood stained on the hilt was licked like a snake letter.

The blood touched the electric light, and it turned into a wisp of red air with a soft chirp, but this wisp of red air did not dissipate in the air, but twisted and twisted on the hilt of the sword, like a red dragon, it raised its head and faced it White light like a poisonous snake.

With Qi Jun's full swing, the tiger's jaws of both hands burst at the same time, and blood flowed from the wound to the hilt of the sword, and quickly merged into Chilong's body.A small ray of red light suddenly swelled up, and the dragon head at the front suddenly opened its mouth, and the white light entangled along the sword body was sucked by it, like a mud cow entering the sea, it was sucked clean in an instant.The pressure on both arms suddenly decreased, Qi Jun let out a violent shout, and the front of Zhanlu sword spat out a green light, and there was a soft pop, and the monster's ax in the lightning snapped at the same root, and the sword's power was still unabated. Cut off one of its hands holding the axe.

"Aww—" A beast-like howl shook Qi Jun's ears, as if a needle had been pierced straight through his ears.Qi Jun involuntarily raised his hand to cover his ears, but he didn't notice that the monster turned around, and swung the remaining ax straight up, striking at the top of Qi Jun's head.

Qi Jun had severe pain in his ears, so he could only try his best to block it with his sword. Seeing that he couldn't stop the monster's desperate counterattack, the red dragon on the sword hilt suddenly jumped up, and his figure suddenly swelled three times. More than twice as long, he opened his huge mouth and bit the chopping ax fiercely. With a loud bang, the ax and the red dragon shattered into countless small pieces at the same time, and the red and white lights flew away like falling flowers. The monster turned its head and fled. The mouth-thin electric light was cut off from it, the lower half was diffused in the wind and rain, and the upper half was wrapped in the monster with the severed arm, and suddenly retracted into the clouds.

When the red dragon shattered, Qi Jun felt as if his body had exploded from the inside, and his limbs and bones were all shattered. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the ground, the scorched earth under his body was still warm, and the wind and rain were blown away. But it was much smaller, the clouds in the sky were already about to disperse, and even a ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon.

"Your Highness—" Zhibai's weak voice came from beside his ear, full of anxiety, "Your Highness!"

Qi Jun moved his head and found that apart from his heavy body, there was no other discomfort. The burst of pain just now disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.As soon as he propped himself up and sat up, he turned his head and saw that Bai had turned over and was about to crawl to his side.His face was pale, and the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, which had not been washed away by the rain, were shocking.Qi Jun rushed over to hug him, and wiped the blood on his mouth with his sleeve: "How do you feel?"

"It's okay." Zhibai leaned his head on his chest and gasped, "What's going on? The ninth thunder—"

Qi Jun was also confused, and hurriedly talked about his battle with the monster. When he moved his body, he felt panicked, and reached out his hand to dig under his leg, and he really pulled out something that was neither gold nor iron: "This is the monster's axe! But why is the severed hand missing?"

Zhibai stared at him.At this moment, his complexion is also gradually recovering, and it is not as pale as before: "That's—Your Highness, you actually——You cut Lei Gong!"

"Lei Gong?" Qi Jun thought about it for a while, and felt a little weird, "That's Lei Gong? I—" He involuntarily looked at his hand, and then at the Zhanlu sword that fell into the mud, " It should be Zhan Lu's contribution. But how did this Lei Gong come? How did you provoke it?"

Zhibai smiled wryly: "Heavenly Tribulation." He stretched out his hand to touch his lower abdomen, then raised his hand to touch the top of his head, and said, "No wonder I can see a ball of golden light sometimes, and sometimes I don't see it. Dan and Yuanying have merged into one, Master never said that there would be such a thing."

Qi Jun was confused when he heard it: "What is the formation of the alchemy Yuanying?"

Knowing that there is little need to explain one or two: "The formation of the alchemy is the formation of the golden elixir in the dantian, and the Yuanying is the incarnation of the Yuanshen. Your Highness does not need to know it, but the Yuanying can be cultivated long after the formation of the alchemy. I never thought that the golden light in my body would turn into a Nascent Soul. Originally, there were no more than three lightning calamities for alchemy, and their power was mediocre. If there was a dragon aura covering the capital, it would be possible even if it didn’t experience thunder calamities. Knowing that I left the capital at this moment and got married with the Nascent Soul, that caused the Nine Thunders and Heavenly Tribulations, if there is no protection from His Highness, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to keep the Nascent Soul, but even my cultivation will be broken." Speaking of this He suddenly realized that he had made a mistake again, and quickly changed his words, "It's Your Majesty."

Qi Jun chuckled: "Your Majesty, there are no outsiders, so it doesn't matter what your name is. But you just suffered those lightning strikes, will you be fine?" Although he saw that his white face had gradually recovered Ruddy, he was still a little worried, after all he saw Zhibai vomit blood with his own eyes just now, but he didn't care about those cloudy words such as forming pills and nascent souls.

"It's really all right." Zhibai bent his eyes and smiled at Qi Jun, "The ninth thunder is the most powerful. The thunder god in the thunder light is not the real body, it should be the incarnation of phantom, but even so is extraordinary People can resist, thanks to the presence of His Highness."

Qi Jun saw that he was smiling, and his expression was the same as usual, so he was really relieved and said with a smile: "It's thanks to Zhan Lu. I really didn't expect that Zhan Lu not only has a sword glow, but also can transform a dragon."

These words made Zhibai startled: "Turn into a dragon? Zhanlu can also turn into a dragon?"

"It's a red dragon." Just now, in order to understand the matter quickly, Qi Jun tried to be as simple as possible when he told the story. When he just said that he had broken Lei Gong's hand, Zhibai interjected in surprise, so that his subsequent words Before he finished speaking, he went on at this time, "...Chilong bit the axe, half of the lightning shrank back, and I was unconscious, and I didn't know what happened next. What's wrong with you?"

Zhibai's face that had just turned rosy turned pale again: "Your Majesty said it was a red dragon? How did Your Majesty feel when the red dragon burst into pieces?"

Qi Jun recalled for a while: "The limbs and bones seem to be broken—what? Is there any hindrance? I don't feel any discomfort at the moment." How do you know that Bai's face is so ugly?

Zhibai grabbed his hands, his voice trembling: "The red dragon was not transformed by Zhanlu's sword, it was, it was His Majesty's dragon spirit! It was transformed by His Majesty's blood essence!"

"Essence of blood?" Qi Jun realized that the jaws of his hands had been completely cracked, and blood was still oozing out slightly at this moment, and the pain was excruciating when he moved lightly.However, this kind of suffering is nothing to him. When he was practicing martial arts, his hands were covered with layers of blood blisters. If they were broken, they would be wrapped with cloth and practiced until calluses emerged.Although the shattering of both hands is not a serious injury, it is not such a serious matter that hurts the muscles and bones. It only needs to be raised for a few days. "This--what is the hindrance?"

"I, I don't know." Zhibai grabbed his hand and watched eagerly for a while, then raised his head to stare at Qi Jun's face, as if trying to find something out of his face, "The dragon that His Majesty raised so easily Gas, it's gone now..."

Qi Jun recalled that he said before that only those who are destined to be emperors can have dragon energy, and he was slightly startled: "Could it be that I can't sit in this position anymore?"

Zhibai didn't speak for a while.Qi Jun recovered from the shock, and seeing his pale face, his eyes covered with mist, he was startled: "What's wrong?" Zhibai always had a playful smile on his face , he really never saw him shed tears.

"I should—knew earlier that I was conceiving a Nascent Soul—if I had prepared earlier, I wouldn't have burdened Your Majesty..."

"So that's what I was talking about." Qi Jun stretched out his hand and hugged him in his arms, "What's the matter. It's just the dragon's breath, something invisible and intangible—" He suddenly sneered, "You're confused too. Once upon a time I don’t have dragon aura, so I won the big position anyway? So what if King Ping has dragon aura? Why don’t I just bow my head and surrender! It’s up to people, I don’t believe it, even if I don’t have this dragon aura, wouldn’t I be able to sit firmly in this world?” He lightly Patting Zhibai's face lightly, he felt his hands were cold and wet, and his heart tightened, "Do you feel cold?"

Zhibai put his arms around his neck, pressed his face against his neck, and said sullenly: "It's not cold. Don't move, Your Majesty, let me give you a hug."

Qi Jun was already used to him acting like a baby, so he stretched out his arms and hugged him.The clothes on both of them were drenched by the rain. Qi Jun didn't feel anything, but he was afraid of the cold, so he coaxed him: "The clothes are all wet, be careful to freeze. Go back to the palace first. "

"If in the future—" Zhibai pressed against his chest and said in a low voice, "Does Your Majesty regret it?"

"What do you regret?" Qi Jun didn't hear clearly, and when he asked again, Zhibai didn't say anything, and just rubbed against his chest.Qi Jun only thought that he was acting coquettishly after the catastrophe, and was about to coax a few more words when he heard the people in the forest yelling, but the guards finally controlled the startled horse and came to him.

In this way, of course Zhibai couldn't have any more intimate behaviors with Qi Jun in front of others, so he let go of it quickly.The guards are all Qi Jun's confidantes, they were all scared to death when they lost the emperor just now, seeing that the emperor and the national teacher are both safe and sound, don't they all have a sense of escape from death, what else can they care about, let the two A horse came, hugged the two of them on the horse's back, and went straight to the palace.

Inside the palace, the queen mother stared at Zhao Yue dumbfounded: "You mean, at that time, the emperor went to find the national teacher?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yue's face is still pale up to now, "The emperor sent someone to send the national teacher back to the palace first, but who knew that the national teacher disappeared halfway, and the emperor actually went to the mountain to find the national teacher immediately! "

The queen mother calmed down a little: "The national teacher is related to our court Guozuo. It is common for the emperor to worry about him. Besides, the national teacher has the grace of prolonging the life of Ai's family. The emperor's move..." Although he said so, he was thinking I will call Qi Jun to persuade him in a while. After all, the son of a daughter cannot sit down, let alone the king of a country.

Zhao Yue waved his hands again and again: "I don't know, the Queen Mother, the thunderstorm at that time was really shocking. My daughter-in-law sent someone to look at the mountain, and the surrounding area was covered with scorched earth! Moreover, the emperor still had blood on his body when he came back. This—in case he was injured by lightning Now, what can I do!" Without Qi Jun, what is she, a queen?Now that Qi Jun has no sons, if something happens to the throne and the throne falls into King Ping's hands, then she and the queen mother are afraid that they will die without a place to die!

The Empress Dowager had already arrived at the palace. She only knew that there was a violent storm outside, but she didn’t know that Qi Jun was going to the place where she was struck by lightning. Hearing this, she broke out in a cold sweat and said, "What nonsense! Where is the emperor? Please, please!" come over!"

Shao Yao lowered her head and said: "The emperor is in the imperial teacher's room... The imperial teacher seems to be injured, the emperor is announcing the imperial doctor's pulse diagnosis..."

"What about the emperor?" The queen mother was very anxious, "Go and see, is the emperor injured?"

Shao Yao hurried away, and trotted back after a while: "The emperor's hands are cracked, nothing else is serious."

"What? It's not a serious problem?" The queen mother was so anxious that she almost jumped up, "How could the emperor be so injured?"

Where did peony know?The emperor's mouth is very strict, that is, the injury on the hand cannot be covered up, and the imperial doctor dare not hide it. If she asked the reason for the injury, where would she go to ask?

"Does the queen mother still need to ask?" Zhao Yue said angrily, "If it wasn't for chasing the national teacher, how could the emperor get hurt? My daughter-in-law heard that the emperor even punished her for not serving the national teacher well. .”

The queen mother also heard that the emperor punished Wenxiu as soon as he came back, but she didn't know it was because she didn't serve the national teacher well enough: "Wenxiu has also been in the palace for many years, how could he make such a stupid mistake?"

"Oh, Empress Dowager!" Zhao Yue was in a hurry, "Wenxiu is supposed to serve the emperor, when should she serve the national teacher?" When she said this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "My daughter-in-law has a guess, could it be ——What did Wenxiu have with the national teacher?"

"Nonsense!" The queen mother retorted without thinking, "How can a person with a pure heart and as few desires as the national teacher get involved with women?"

However, Zhao Yue felt that this sudden idea was very good: "Queen Mother, no matter what, Wenxiu was punished for neglecting the national teacher, but she is also a big court lady by the emperor's side, she has some face. According to her daughter-in-law, Why don't you just let her serve the national teacher, firstly, it will ruin her face, and secondly, it will be a crime." Don't think that she can't see Wenxiu's ambition at all, let her work as an errand in the star observatory, and she can't do it in the future. Follow the emperor around to see if she still plays tricks!

The queen mother was confused: "Why did she neglect the national teacher and let her serve the national teacher? Just now you said that Wenxiu had something with the national teacher, why now - isn't this a scandal in the palace? "

Only then did Zhao Yue realize that she was contradictory, and racked her brains to explain: "Daughter-in-law just wanted to go wrong. What the Queen Mother said is that a person with a pure heart and as few desires as a teacher of the state will never be contaminated by women. The daughter-in-law thought, Wenxiu was shrewd, so she was left to serve beside the national teacher. In the future, if the emperor and the national teacher had any inappropriate things, she could persuade him or her. Now Wenxiu is only serving in the emperor's study. If the emperor goes to the observatory, There is only Feng En by my side. Those middle-aged people are all cunning people, who is willing to speak out to persuade them?"

The queen mother vaguely felt that Zhao Yue's words were confusing, but it was a bit on her mind to ask Wenxiu to stare at Zhibai.In the past, Zhibai wholeheartedly helped Qi Jun in the palace, even though the two were a little too close, she never took it to heart.But now that she knows that Bai has brought Qi Jun into such a dangerous situation, she feels a little uncomfortable.What's more, Zhibai really has some supernatural powers. In the past, I didn't realize that I needed to use him, but now I can't help but make people worry. Wenxiu is very clever. It might be really beneficial if I can look around more.

"Since this is the case, you should discuss with the emperor and ask Wenxiu to serve the national teacher."

"Queen Mother—" Zhao Yue looked embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's not good for my daughter-in-law to say this, but Wenxiu——I'm afraid she'll cling to the emperor wholeheartedly, and if my daughter-in-law says it, I'm afraid it will be called jealous... ...The daughter-in-law is not cherishing her reputation, but it is not good for the emperor to spread it."

"It's just a court lady, what are you still thinking about!" The Queen Mother didn't like to hear this kind of story of a court lady climbing the dragon bed the most, so she pulled her face immediately, "Since that's the case, there is a decree from the Ai family that Wenxiu is not good enough to serve the national teacher. Let's make up for the past and go to the observatory as an errand!"
