Chapter 4366 4368 [Waiting for the Rabbit]
After taking back the evil emperor's relic, Xiang Nan announced to the public that he had achieved enlightenment by practicing the "Eternal Life Secret".
Then he performed various miracles, such as flying with a sword, calling the wind and rain, turning beans into soldiers, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, moving things with five ghosts, and resurrecting the dead.
The people of Guangzhou City saw it with their own eyes. Xiang Nan flew in the air with a sword, and then waved his hand, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, weapons, armor, rice, flour and food fell from the sky.
In an instant, the square outside the "Forbidden City" (the imperial palace built after Song Que became emperor, and then Song Shidao moved the capital to Hanoi, which naturally became the Forbidden City) was filled with piles.
Such a wonder spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to a thousand... Moreover, it was witnessed by more than a thousand people that day, not to mention tens of thousands, so it soon spread throughout the world.
For a time, Xiang Nan's name as a "living immortal" spread throughout the land of Shenzhou, and countless people flocked to the Han Kingdom, hoping to see the immortal's style. Of course, there are also people with ulterior motives who hope to snatch the "Eternal Life Secret" and become immortals themselves.
And Xiang Nan is waiting for them.
He now has the evil emperor's relic in his hand, which can store the inner essence. Not only the evil emperor's, but all the inner essence can be stored.
However, the evil emperor's relic belongs to the holy object of the demon sect, so only the evil emperors of all generations are qualified to input the inner essence into the evil emperor's relic.
But Xiang Nan didn't have so many scruples. He wanted to save more inner essence and take it out. But if he relied on his own practice, he would only have a thousand years of skill in the monkey year and horse month. It is better to use the wedding dress magic to attract more people.
Sure enough, those uninvited guests began to use various methods to snatch the "Eternal Life Secret".
Some people broke into the palace directly to search, some sneaked into the palace secretly, some used gold, silver and beauty to buy information, and some tried to kidnap Xiang Nan's children and grandchildren... There are many ways.
But what they did, even what they thought, could not be hidden from Xiang Nan's surveillance. Therefore, he approached those people quietly, and used the magic of the wedding dress to easily absorb their martial arts.
Among them were the forces of the Demon Sect, the forces of the Great Ming Zunjiao, the forces from Tianzhu, the forces from the Turks, the forces from Dongying, the forces from Ryukyu, the forces from Tubo, the forces from Huihe, and even the forces from Persia and Daqin...
After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, although she used the excuse of "knights breaking the law with martial arts" to clear out all the sects and factions in the world, in fact, this trick did not have much effect.
All sects, martial artists, and forces went underground and were not wiped out by her. As Master Feixuan said, the sect of Cihang Jingzhai was destroyed, but the inheritance was still there.
During the Li Tang period, envoys and merchants from all countries came one after another.
For example, there were envoys to the Tang Dynasty from Japan; there were merchants from the Kukri tribe in Central Asia; the prince of Persia once settled in Chang'an, hoping that the Emperor of Tang would lend him troops to restore his country; there were monks from India who came to the Central Plains to preach...
These people were accepted in the Central Plains and were not excluded. It can be said that they were very open and tolerant. The arrival of these people also brought different cultures, religions and customs to the Central Plains. For example, Zoroastrianism, Mingjiao, Brahmanism, Tantric Buddhism, Nestorianism, Buddhism...
But when the window is opened, not only fresh air will come, but flies will also fly in.
Those who came to the palace to steal the "Eternal Life Secret" are a group of flies, and they are flies with a high self-esteem. After all, ordinary thieves dare not come here to disturb.
And Xiang Nan had already set up a trap. He was the spider on the spider web, catching all those who dared to break in, and then sucking them.
...
In the next few years, people kept coming to the palace to steal the "Eternal Life Secret".
After all, a secret book that can make you immortal, everyone wants to take a look, even the emperor is no exception.
Wu Zetian sent people to steal it many times, but they never came back and got nothing.
Not to mention other sects, other religions, and other forces.
But they still kept coming one after another over the years, and they would not regret it even if they died. They knew that they would die, but they just refused to stop, so Xiang Nan's skills were getting higher and higher.
Over the years, he absorbed so much inner energy essence that was almost equal to the essence of the evil emperors of all generations stored in the evil emperor's relics.
After all, a pile of sand makes a tower, and a pile of feathers makes a coat. Those flies are not as powerful as the evil emperors of all generations in terms of individual power, but when there are more people, their power will be piled up.
Xiang Nan also kept injecting the inner energy essence he absorbed into the relics. These inner energy essences were refined by him, and they were also purified by the Heshi Bi, so if they were absorbed again, they would not fall into the devil's way.
...
Two years later, Song Yuzhi's health was getting worse and worse.
Because her martial arts skills were not very high, it was rare for her to live to the age of over ninety. This was all thanks to Xiang Nan who often helped her with her conditioning.
When she was dying, she held Xiang Nan's hand and was reluctant to let go, "Kou Zhong, do people really go to the underworld after death?"
"Don't worry, I have already greeted the underworld. When you go to the underworld, you will not enter reincarnation again, but will directly become an immortal." Xiang Nan smiled and comforted, "Then, I will also ascend to heaven in broad daylight, and we can be together again."
"Well, then I'm relieved." Song Yuzhi nodded, "Then I'll go first and wait for you in heaven."
"Okay." Xiang Nan smiled, "I will definitely find you, don't worry, it's just a short while."
"Okay, then I'll go." Song Yuzhi slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, Xiang Nan heard a familiar voice, "Kou Zhong thanks the host for fulfilling his wish, and being able to marry Song Yuzhi, live together forever, live in peace and happiness, leaving him with a beautiful memory."
"The mission is completed, and the host is about to return."
Then, a light gate appeared out of thin air, sucking Xiang Nan's soul out of Kou Zhong's body and throwing it into the light gate.
Immediately afterwards, a series of scenes flashed before his eyes.
There were scenes of him and Xu Ziling practicing "The Secret of Immortality", scenes of him and Song Yuzhi meeting for the first time, scenes of them fleeing with Wan Wan, scenes of him absorbing the essence of the evil emperor's relic, scenes of him proposing marriage to Song Que, scenes of him colonizing overseas, and so on and so forth.
It's a pity to say that although he did a lot of things in the world of "The Legend of the Two Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", there were also some unsatisfactory things.
For example, he failed to help Fu Jun'er protect Gaoli; failed to help Shi Feixuan and Shi Zhixuan recognize each other, failed to help Shang Xiuxun and Lu Miaozi recognize each other, failed to make friends with Li Mi and Shen Luoyan, etc.
"Does the host consume the memory stone to keep all the memories of this life?" At this time, the system prompted again.
Xiang Nan did not consider it and directly chose "yes".
He learned a lot in this life, and the most important point is to comprehend the "sword intention". If he does not keep it, it would be a big loss.
"In return to the host, Kou Zhong is willing to offer his martial arts and martial arts talent as a reward." At this time, the system prompted again, "Congratulations to the host for receiving the memory stone reward!"
