Chapter 435: Soul Sustenance

…

After a long time, everyone gradually came back to their senses.

Li Shimin showed an admiring look on his face and nodded in praise: "Well, well, it is indeed extraordinary. I am also very enlightened today."

Yu Liang smiled slightly and bowed: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert. I am sorry to make you laugh."

The atmosphere in Wenhua Hall reached a small climax due to Yu Liang's wonderful performance.

Everyone talked about Yu Liang's talent, and many literati came forward to communicate with him.

However, at this time, Princess Changle quietly walked towards Yu Liang.

"Your Highness, I am polite." Yu Liang smiled and saluted.

Princess Changle looked at Yu Liang, and the other party's etiquette behavior now was in great contrast to the image in her mind.

"Mr. Yu is indeed talented. I admire him."

"Your Highness, you are too kind."

Yu Liang kept a smile and a humble attitude: "I wonder what Your Highness wants to talk to me about?"

Princess Changle said softly: "Mr. Yu, I want to talk to you alone, is that possible?"

Yu Liang nodded: "Of course, Your Highness, please."

The two came to a secluded garden pavilion outside the Wenhua Palace.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Liang said to Princess Changle: "Calling me out alone, I guess this is not what Your Highness meant!"

Hearing this, Princess Changle's eyes flashed with surprise, and asked back: "Why do you think this is not just my intention?"

Yu Liang did not answer directly, but turned to look at the winding garden path next to him.

His eyes penetrated the layers of green leaves, and a figure slowly appeared at the corner of the rockery and lush trees. The person who came was Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin walked steadily to Yu Liang, with the calmness and majesty unique to the emperor on his face.

He whispered to Princess Changle: "Sizi, you can leave first."

"Yes, father." Princess Changle bowed respectfully and slowly left.

Yu Liang looked directly at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. I always like to be straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush."

Hearing this, Li Shimin also smiled and said: "I am not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush, so I will say it directly."

"I hope you can give me "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

Hearing this, Yu Liang asked back with some doubts: "Haven't I already given it to Your Majesty? Why is Your Majesty asking for it again?"

"No!"

Li Shimin shook his head, "I'm not talking about the manuscript!"

Paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"It's the realm of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"

Hearing this, Yu Liang's expression changed slightly, and then he replied calmly: "Your Majesty, are you joking?"

"The Legend of the Condor Hearings is the work of my painstaking efforts, how can I give it to others!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was unmoved, and his voice was low but firm: "I am willing to provide you with sufficient compensation."

"Hehe~"

Yu Liang sneered: "Your Majesty, don't you know the importance of the realm?"

He took a few steps forward, stared into Li Shimin's eyes, and said unceremoniously:

"Compensation? What compensation can you give?"

The realm constructed by the story of The Legend of the Condor Hearings is not an ordinary thing.

If it were before, Yu Liang might not have deeply understood this.

However, after such a long time of travel, and the story gradually being fully realized, he has already seen through its true role and significance.

The realm of The Legend of the Condor Hearings is not only a carrier of a story, but also a place where people can place their hearts.

Being able to carry the sustenance of the soul, the role of such a realm is naturally self-evident.

What's more.

Is this story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" a story?

Although it has changed a lot, it is Yu Liang's life experience at its core.

Asking for the realm of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

What's the difference between that and gouging out Yu Liang's heart?

Li Shimin seemed to have anticipated Yu Liang's reaction. He calmly took out an ancient scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Liang.

Yu Liang glanced at it and was curious in his heart. What kind of thing could Li Shimin take out to exchange with him?

Yu Liang took the scroll with some curiosity and slowly unfolded it.

In an instant, his eyes were deeply attracted by the exquisite painting on the scroll, which was a scene depicting an old man with a fairy-like appearance passing through the Han Pass.

Yu Liang stared at the contents of the scroll, muttering to himself:

"When the Supreme Lord arrived at Hanguan Pass, the Zhou official Yin Xi was the Marquis of the pass. The Supreme Lord asked: "Do you know?" Yin Xi said: Last winter, the star traveled westward, and the melting wind came three times."

"This is the History Map!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded and confirmed: "Yes, this is the 21st transformation of the "Taishang Laojun 81 Transformations History Map": Passing Hanguan Pass!"

Hearing this, Yu Liang immediately closed the scroll and handed it back to Li Shimin.

The so-called "Taishang Laojun 81 Transformations History Map" is actually the 82 stories of the Supreme Lord Laojun.

Just like the story book, observing the history map is equivalent to being able to experience the experience of the Supreme Lord Laojun.

What a great opportunity this is?

But Yu Liang really doesn't dare to enjoy this opportunity.

Are you kidding me? Can you just look at this thing?

Last time, he just mentioned "Demon Suppression" and I came here directly.

What would happen if I experienced this thing?

"Sorry, I am not lucky enough to enjoy this thing. Your Majesty should keep it well!"

Li Shimin wanted to give Yu Liang the map of the past dynasties, but Yu Liang ignored him and didn't take it at all.

"Alas~"

Li Shimin sighed.

"Don't worry, I will give you this treasure, so there will be absolutely no problem!"

"Haha!"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Yu Liang sneered and thought to himself: You said it's okay, so who do you think you are?

Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Li Shimin wanted to continue to say something?

But Yu Liang didn't want to argue with him anymore, so he stretched out his hand to stop him from talking.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I have something important to do, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave now, and I won't see you off!"

After saying that, Yu Liang turned around and left without looking back.

Alas~

Looking at Yu Liang's back as he walked away, Li Shimin sighed again, holding the History Map in his hand.

In the corner, Princess Changle saw Yu Liang leaving, walked slowly to Li Shimin's side, and asked softly: "Father, didn't he agree?"

Li Shimin nodded, then unfolded the history map in his hand, and said unwillingly: "History map, I didn't expect that he was not tempted by such a treasure!"

Princess Changle saw this and said: "Father, do you want to think of another way?"

"What can we do? He is not even tempted by the history map."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "Emperor, Son of Heaven~"

"Everyone thinks this is a supreme position, but who knows that this is also a cage. Once you sit on it, you can never get down!"

In this regard, Li Shimin couldn't help but miss the time when he was the general of Tiance.

However, he then became firm in his eyes, and his heart was full of dissatisfaction.

The civil and military officials under his command can become gods and enjoy the incense of eternity. Why does he, Li Shimin, only have these few short decades of life?

Even if he was going to die, he would continue to be the emperor!
