The new year.

The renovated Golden Palace is magnificent.

Xia Xiaoman was wearing a dragon and phoenix brocade robe, a crown, light makeup, and lightly dyed. He rode on a giant white tiger several meters tall. Behind him were hundreds of palace maids following him and stepped on the ladder to the sky.

I saw that Xia Xiaoman's face had long washed away his former tenderness. While walking, the emperor's majesty was beyond words.

The king of Daqian, Xia Xiaoman, declared the world under the witness of all civil and military officials:

"From today on, the eldest son of the Xia family, Jurchen, will accept the will of heaven, and ascend to the throne of the emperor."

"I am the fifteenth generation king of the Daqian Dynasty!"

"From today, we will open the new calendar and make the first year of Zhenping Calendar. We will have a general amnesty for the whole world and exempt the tax from three years!"

"I am really pacifying the Emperor!"

"I have appointed the White Tiger Spirit Beast as the Holy Beast of the Daqian country! Seeing the Holy Beast of the Country is like seeing the Emperor!"

...

The process of the empress ascending the throne was extremely smooth.

Whether it is the hearts of the secular people, the wishes of officials, or those who witnessed the strange phenomena that night from heaven, they know that the empress ascends the throne is the general trend and the destiny of heaven, the whole process, and even when it was revealed to the world, there were almost no opposition.

Lin Yi did enough, enough.

Before his death, he paved the bumpy road for the empress to ascend the throne into a flat road.

The second year of the real calendar.

Emperor Zhenping burned historical books and erased all the deeds about "Lin Yi" from history.

June of the second year of the Zhenping Calendar.

Emperor Zhenping said that "the country is safe with literature", regardless of family background or qualifications, but those with great talents are entrusted with high officials and treated with generous salaries and courtesy. For a time, the imperial examinations of the Dagan Dynasty were booming, and the people shouted, "Well, good reading, wonderful reading, is the only way to change their destiny."

The third year of the real calendar.

Emperor Zhenping changed the national law, completely abolished the "vassal king system", established the "provincial government department", established the "provincial military department", and then divided the military power and internal affairs.

same year,

Emperor Zhenping went on a tour and went to the south. He personally left the boy and widowed wife to the Nan Prince, took him back to Qingdu, and treated him with courtesy, taught poetry and calligraphy, and taught military tactics. Later history books recorded this incident, saying that Empress Zhenping "does not care about past grudges and is more than sages."

In the sixth year of Zhenping's calendar, Emperor Zhenping encouraged the development of the shipping industry. She personally incorporated the Black Shark Gang, which was like a pile of loose sand, and established the "Sea Transportation Department", connecting the Niuhezhou in Xi and the Nanzhanbuzhou, and communicating with other countries.

In the tenth year of the Zhenping Calendar, the maritime transportation industry and smelting technology of the Dagan Dynasty developed to its peak.

In the 12th year of the Zhenping Calendar, Emperor Zhenping discovered "black oil" and set up wells to mine it. Then, overseas countries discovered the wonderful uses of "black oil" and mined it one after another.

In the fifteenth year of the Zhenping Calendar, the production method of "black gunpowder" in the Southern Continent was introduced to Dakan.

In the 17th year of the Zhenping Calendar, an inventor in Xiniu Hezhou used the effect of "black oil" to invent the "iron bull machine". It is said that when the "iron bull machine" is operated, it sounds like thunder, carrying tons of things, and travels thousands of miles a day.

In the twenty years of Zhenping Calendar, Xuanmen retired and no longer was born, and the monks gradually became an illusory legend.

Thirty years,

Tools such as "iron cart", "iron horse", "fire unity", and "thunder cannon" have gradually entered the people's vision.

Later, some people gradually named the "Iron Bull Machine" "Internal Combustion Engine".

The technology of "Iron Horse" is becoming more and more proficient.

In the 31st year of the Zhenping Calendar, the first pure fuel truck in history without animal traction was born.

In the fifty years of the Zhenping calendar, historians recorded that Emperor Zhenping was over 70 years old, with hair as silver frost, flour as a child, and skin was better than white snow. He was called a "saint from heaven."

...

The 52nd year of the True Calendar.

The empress abdicated and the 16th generation of kings was registered, named "Changyun".

It is said that Xia Changyun is the bloodline of Xia Xingchen's descendants and belongs to the true royal orthodox.

The Empress Zhenping abdicated, in the same year, July 7th.

A woman with white hair, eyebrows and eyes as bright as clouds, elegant and cold, wearing a white plain clothes, stood not far from the emperor's tomb, in front of an unknown tomb.

No one knows whose tombstone is, and no one even knows who the tombstone is commemorating.

But the court officials know that every July 7th, the empress will sit here alone for a night until dawn.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoman no longer wore a dragon robe or a golden crown. After she removed the throne, the emperor's majesty disappeared in a blink of an eye. At this moment, she was just an ordinary woman whose youth had passed away.

"Apart from my white hair, my face is not old at all. Senior brother, why do you have to protect Xiaoman so much when you die?"

Xia Xiaoman gently covered her full chest. She vaguely remembered the dream after Brother Lin Yi's death, as if Brother Lin Yi's finger was right there.

She would rather believe that this was not a dream, because she could clearly feel that a scabbard occupied that position in her heart as it beats.

That is... the senior brother's scabbard.

"In this life, I will let the big knights return to a peaceful and prosperous era. Xiaoman will live up to his father, Jier, and the people of the world. I, Xia Xiaoman, have no regrets." Xia Xiaoman smiled and looked at the wordless monument in front of him, and slapped it out with a palm, revealing a white sword that is better than snow inside.

"Sorry, Xue'er, because you are stained with the blood of your senior brother, I have been reluctant to face you over the years, and I don't want to face you... myself."

Xia Xiaoman held the Frost Xue Sword that had been away for fifty years in her hand with a move. She felt the blood connection on the Frost Xue Sword carefully, closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

After silence,

She suddenly turned around and lowered her head to smile. There was a cute kitten standing there.

"Sister Chuchu, do you want to go to the East China Sea with me?"

"Meow, don't go." Bai Chuchu shook her head: "I promised the young master to protect you for fifty years. Now I have given you two years in vain." Bai Chuchu stretched out her cat's claws and raised two of them, which meant: You still owe us two years.

"Ha, the world is so great. If you can meet in the future, if you need it, you will never refuse."

"Then, goodbye!"

Yun Conglong and Feng Conghu, after a strong gust of wind, he pretended to be a cat and disappeared from the spot.

Xia Xiaoman shook his flying sword, soared into the sky, soaring straight into the sky, heading eastward.

After that,

In Qingdu, there is no more Emperor Zhenping, and no more Xia Xiaoman.

The holy beast of the Dagan Dynasty protects the country at the same time disappeared from the human world.

...

Three days later.

The coast of the East China Sea.

Fifty years ago, this place was just a small fishing village, but fifty years later, it became a prosperous port city with a population of nearly 200,000 - Linxian City.

Legend has it that many years ago, there were immortals here, and there was a cliff called "Wangxian Cliff".

Xia Xiaoman jumped to the top of Wangxian Cliff. The terrain was hanging high and it was difficult for ordinary people to reach.

"The bad disciple Xia Xiaoman, beg the supreme leader for forgiveness and return to the Tianjian Sect!"

Xia Xiaoman knelt on the top of Wangxian Cliff, and for seven days.

The wind blows and the sun blows, and the rain falls and the clouds disappear.

Seven days later,

A woman with white hair suddenly appeared in front of Xia Xiaoman, who was still kneeling.

"Don't you regret it?"

"Disciple doesn't regret it."

Xia Xiaoman dared not look up.

“Why?”

"From now on, Xia Xiaoman is determined to seek the Tao, only seeking a sword to Lingxiao, no one can defeat him, and he will attain the Great Way of Eternal Life."

"What a 'a sword is Lingxiao, no one can defeat it'." The supreme leader sighed lightly. She looked at Xia Xiaoman kneeling on the ground deeply: "Since that's the case, your past affairs have been broken, and the former human emperor Xia Xiaoman is dead. From today on, you are no longer Xia Xiaoman, but an ordinary Tianjian Sect cultivator, who is... the personal disciple of the deity."

"Disciple understands that he is willing to give up all the past and cut off the worldly relationship by swinging his sword. Please give me a name to you."

The Supreme Master of the Sect closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "Someone once criticized me for his decree. I will get two disciples in my life, and the morning is frost and evening is like snow." The Supreme Master of the Sect opened his cold eyes: "Since that's the case, from today, you will be... Xia Ruxue."

Xia Xiaoman, no, Xia Ruxue, who had been a serene emperor for fifty years, couldn't help but tremble all over when she heard the words "Xia Ruxue". The past events that were deliberately sealed by her rushed into her heart like a tide.

The next second,

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

Xia Ruxue kowtowed hard... shed tears.

Ah...ah...ah...ah.

Xia Ruxue was crying in her heart.

"Xia Ruxue... has seen Master!"
