第二日，当李七夜早早起来的时候，兵池含玉已经跪在了那里了。
The next day, when Li Qiye got up early, Bingchi Hanyu was already kneeling there.
“怎么了？”看着久久跪于地上的兵池含玉，李七夜徐徐地说道。
“What’s wrong?” Li Qiye said slowly, looking at Bingchi Hanyu who had knelt on the ground for a long time.
兵池含玉跪伏于地，说道：“家族诸老愚昧无知，与陛下为敌，犯下滔天大罪，奴婢未能有所作为，向陛下请罪，请陛下发落。”
Bingchi Hanyu knelt down on the ground and said: “The old people of the family are ignorant and ignorant. They are enemies of His Majesty and have committed heinous crimes. The slaves and maidservants have failed to do anything. Please apologize to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to forgive you.”
“你也没有什么罪。”李七夜轻轻地摆了摆手，淡淡地说道。
“You’re not guilty of anything.” Li Qiye waved his hand lightly and said calmly.
兵池含玉跪地不起，低着螓首，说道：“奴婢虽可饶恕，但家族诸老乃是滔天大罪，此罪可灭族，奴婢愿代之受过。”
Bingchi Hanyu knelt down, lowered his head, and said: “Although the servant can be forgiven, the elders of the family are a heinous crime. This crime can destroy the family, and the servant is willing to take it on his behalf.”
“这么说来，你是想替你家族求情了。”李七夜看了一眼兵池含玉，淡淡地笑着说道。
“So, you want to intercede for your family.” Li Qiye glanced at Bingchi Hanyu and said with a faint smile.
“奴婢只望代家族受过，能减轻一点家族的罪过。”兵池含玉低着头，轻轻地说道。
“The maidservant only hopes that the family will suffer on behalf of the family, so that the family’s crimes can be alleviated.” Bingchi Hanyu lowered his head and said softly.
“罢了。”李七夜看了兵池含玉一眼，淡淡地说道：“含在你的份上，不灭你们兵池世家便是，但该罚的，还是罚，该削去的，还是削去。”
“That’s all.” Li Qiye took a look at Bingchi Hanyu, and said lightly: “For your sake, your Bingchi family will not be destroyed, but what should be punished is still punished, and what should be cut off , or cut it off.”
“谢陛下——”听到李七夜这样的话，兵池含玉不由为之一喜，伏拜于地，她也没有想到李七夜愿意饶恕他们兵池世家，跪倒在这里的时候，她心里面已经是作最坏的打算了，她甚至想过自己的家族将会被灭掉，连自己都会受到惩罚，没有想到，李七夜最终还是饶恕了他们。
“Thank you, Your Majesty—” Hearing Li Qiye’s words, Bingchi Hanyu couldn’t help being overjoyed, and bowed to the ground. She never thought that Li Qiye would forgive their Bingchi family and knelt down here , She was already planning for the worst in her heart, she even thought that her family would be wiped out, and even she would be punished, but unexpectedly, Li Qiye finally forgave them.
“陛下大恩，奴婢愿做牛做马以报答。”兵池含玉久久跪倒在地上，感激涕零。
“Your Majesty’s kindness, I am willing to be an ox or a horse in return.” Bingchi Hanyu fell to his knees on the ground for a long time, weeping with gratitude.
“嗯，不错。”李七夜轻轻地点了点头，吩咐说道：“起来吧，侍候好便是。”
“Well, not bad.” Li Qiye nodded lightly, and said: “Get up, wait for me.”
兵池含玉忙是爬起来，为李七夜准备洗漱，忙碌起来，此时她是以一个奴婢的身份自居。
Bingchi Hanyu hurriedly got up, prepared to wash for Li Qiye, and got busy. At this time, she regarded herself as a slave.
在李七夜洗漱完毕之时，南山樵子就早早来拜见了。
When Li Qiye finished washing, Nanshan Qiaozi came to see him early.
“你倒来得及时。”李七夜看了一眼南山樵子，笑了笑，徐徐地说道：“这些日子倒不见你的踪影，现在却又冒出来了。”
“You came just in time.” Li Qiye glanced at Nanshan Qiaozi, smiled, and said slowly: “I haven’t seen you these days, but now you appear again.”
“呵，呵，呵。”南山樵子干笑了一声，抽了一口旱烟儿，干笑地说道：“陛下神威无敌，镇压九天十地，小的道行浅薄，只能是躲在桌子脚下战战兢兢，哪里还有颜脸出来见陛下，更是无法承受陛下的无敌神威。”
“Heh, heh, heh.” The Nanshan woodcutter gave a dry laugh, took a puff of dry cigarette, and said with a dry smile: “Your Majesty is invincible, suppressing nine heavens and ten earths, and the little way is superficial, so I can only hide under the table.” Trembling with trembling, how can I have the face to come out to see His Majesty, and I can’t bear His Majesty’s invincible power.”
“好了，马屁也拍够了。”李七夜摆了摆手，也不在意，淡淡地说道：“有什么事就尽管说吧。”
“Okay, enough flattery.” Li Qiye waved his hand, not caring, and said lightly: “If you have anything to say, just say it.”
南山樵子搓了搓手，干笑了一声，说道：“陛下伟岸无双，举世无匹，万古以来是第一个从洪荒天牢中活着出来的人，小的孤陋寡闻，所以想听听陛下在洪荒天牢的神奇经历。”
Nanshan Qiaozi rubbed his hands together, gave a dry laugh, and said, “Your Majesty is unparalleled in the world. He is the first person to escape from the Prison of Primordial Desolation since ancient times. I’m so young and ignorant, so I want to hear about it.” His majesty’s miraculous experience in the prehistoric prison.”
“你就别耍那点弯弯肠子了，开门见山便是了。”李七夜瞅了他一眼，淡淡地说道：“绕了大半天的话题，你无非是想知道一下所谓的长生。”
“Don’t be so mean, just get straight to the point.” Li Qiye glanced at him and said indifferently: “The topic that has been around for a long time, you just want to know about the so-called longevity. “
“陛下英明，陛下英明。”南山樵子不由干笑了一声，说道：“小的浅陋，所以想长点见识，还请陛下指点迷津，小的听聆陛下的教诲。”
“Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise.” Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help laughing dryly, and said: “The little one is shallow, so I want to gain some insight. Please give me some advice, and the little one should listen to your teachings.”
“少跟我文绉绉的。”李七夜笑着摇了摇头，说道：“也罢，念你老头识相，我也厚待于你。你对于洪荒天牢的长生，那只怕也是琢磨了一辈子了，和太清皇一样，都是不死心。”
“Stop being polite with me.” Li Qiye shook his head with a smile, and said, “Well, I’ll treat you well if you think you’re an old man. I’m afraid you’ve been thinking about the longevity of the Primordial Prison for a lifetime.” Now, just like Emperor Taiqing, he is unwilling to give up.”
“蚁蝼贪生，见陛下见笑了。”南山樵子干笑了一声。
“Ants are greedy for life, Your Majesty will laugh at you.” Nanshan Qiaozi gave a dry laugh.
在此之前，他每日都会对着洪荒天牢吞纳煞气，修练大道，他所摸索、所参悟的就是长生，他也是想窥得洪荒天牢中的一些奥妙。
Before that, he would swallow evil spirits in front of the Primordial Prison every day, and practice the Dao. What he explored and comprehended was longevity, and he also wanted to get a glimpse of some mysteries in the Prison.
当然了，南山樵子作为一个强大的存在，他想求得长生，这也没有什么好丢人的。万古以来，谁人不想长生，从真帝到始祖，哪一个存在不想长生？哪一个人没有谋求过长生？就算是再无敌、再惊艳的始祖，都曾经是想过长生。
Of course, as a powerful existence, Nanshan Qiaozi wants to live forever, so there is nothing to be ashamed of. Since ancient times, who doesn’t want to live forever, from the true emperor to the first ancestor, which existence doesn’t want to live forever? Who hasn’t sought longevity? No matter how invincible and amazing the ancestor was, he once wanted to live forever.
“我就格外开恩，给你看看。”李七夜淡淡一笑，说着取出了黑泥，给南山樵子看。
“I’m extra merciful, I’ll show you.” Li Qiye smiled lightly, took out the black mud and showed it to the Nanshan woodcutter.
“这是——”当看到黑泥的时候，南山樵子不由大吃一惊，随之恭恭敬敬地用双手捧着这黑泥，仔仔细细地观摩起来。
“This is—” Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help being startled when he saw the black mud, then held the black mud with both hands respectfully, and observed it carefully.
“这就是你所想的长生。”李七夜淡淡地一笑。
“This is the longevity you want.” Li Qiye smiled lightly.
南山樵子恭恭敬敬地捧着手中的黑泥，十分的小心，小心翼翼，在这个时候似乎他手中所捧着的黑泥就是世间最珍贵、最绝世无双的东西。
Nanshan Qiaozi respectfully held the black mud in his hand, very carefully, cautiously, at this moment it seemed that the black mud he held in his hand was the most precious and unparalleled thing in the world.
“这神性——”南山樵子仔仔细细地琢磨之后，不由十分吃惊，他也不由喃喃地说道：“如此神性，世间可有？”
“This divinity—” After careful consideration, Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help being very surprised, and he couldn’t help but murmured: “Such a divinity, how can there be such a divinity in the world?”
“你说呢？”李七夜淡淡地一笑。
“What do you think?” Li Qiye smiled lightly.
“或者，这不属于人世间。”南山樵子可以说是见识广博的人，但依然无法揣测这黑泥究竟是出自于何方。
“Or, this does not belong to the human world.” Nanshan Qiaozi can be said to be a man of extensive knowledge, but he still cannot guess where the black mud came from.
“这些都不重要。”李七夜淡淡地说道：“甚至可以说，在某种意义上来说，连长生都不重要，至少对于整个世界而言是如此。”
“These are not important.” Li Qiye said lightly: “It can even be said that in a sense, even longevity is not important, at least for the whole world.”
“陛下的意思——”南山樵子不由大吃一惊，如果说到了连长生都不重要这一地步之时，那将会发生什么事情？南山樵子可是一个十分有卓远见识的人，所以在这个时候他心里面不由为之一震。
“Your Majesty’s meaning—” Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help but be surprised. If it comes to the point where even longevity is not important, what will happen? Nanshan Qiaozi was a very far-sighted person, so at this moment he couldn’t help being shocked.
“这是意味着有人来过。”李七夜双目一凝，双目一下子变得深邃无比，徐徐地说道：“这本不属于这个世界，也不属于任何一个世界，至少在苍穹之下是如此。但，它却出现了。三仙界，也并非是牢不可破，苍穹之下，也不一定是绝对的牢固。”
“This means that someone has been here.” Li Qiye focused his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became extremely deep, and said slowly: “This does not belong to this world, nor does it belong to any world. This is the case under the sky. However, it has appeared. The Three Immortal Realm is not indestructible, and it is not necessarily absolutely firm under the sky.”
“世间可有安全之处？”听到李七夜这样的话，南山樵子心里面不由跳了一下，有了一个十分可怕的想法，想到这里，他自己都不由毛骨悚然。
“Is there a safe place in the world?” Hearing Li Qiye’s words, Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help jumping in his heart, and had a very terrible thought. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but shudder.
“若是换作以前，我或许会说有。”李七夜淡淡地说道：“但是，到了今日，那一切就不好说了。有一句老话说得好，覆巢之下，焉有完卵。三仙界，可以说是平静得太久了，曾被视之为牢不可破，在今日看来，那也是未必。”
“In the past, I might have said yes.” Li Qiye said lightly: “However, today, it is hard to say. There is an old saying that is good, under the collapse of the nest, there is no end Egg. It can be said that the Three Immortals Realm has been peaceful for too long, and it was once regarded as unbreakable, but in today’s view, that may not be the case.”
“若真的是如此，那该何去何从？”南山樵子不由呆了呆，喃喃地说道。
“If that’s the case, what should we do?” Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help but muttered in a daze.
李七夜笑了笑，说道：“说消极一点，那就是等死，人生谁都不是有一死的？横竖都是一死，只不过是早死还晚死而已。”
Li Qiye smiled and said: “If you talk about it negatively, it means waiting for death. Everyone in life is mortal? Death is mortal anyway, it’s just an early death or a late death.”
听到李七夜这样的话，南山樵子不由为之愕了愕，一时之间都不知道该如何是好，正如李七夜所说的那样，既然躲不过，那也就唯有等死了，反正人终是有一死，无非是早死晚死而已。
Hearing Li Qiye’s words, Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help being stunned. He didn’t know what to do for a while. Just like Li Qiye said, since he can’t hide, he can only wait for death Well, anyway, people will die eventually, it is nothing more than early death and late death.
“那陛下呢。”过了好一会儿，南山樵子回过神来，不由轻轻地说道。
“What about Your Majesty.” After a while, Nanshan Qiaozi came back to his senses and said softly.
李七夜望着远处，看得很远很远，双目深邃无比，在这个时候他犹如是跨越了时光，穿越了万古，能看透古今一般。
Li Qiye looked very far away, his eyes were extremely deep. At this moment, he seemed to have crossed time, traveled through the ages, and could see through the past and the present.
“我？”过了好一会儿之后，李七夜这才收回目光，淡淡地一笑，说道：“我还能怎么样？唯有一战而已。战争，总是伴随着我，我在哪里，便是有战争，所以不管是什么牛鬼蛇神，只要我在，便是战争。”
“Me?” After a while, Li Qiye looked away, smiled faintly, and said, “What else can I do? There is only one war. War is always with me. Where am I? There is war, so no matter what ghosts and monsters, as long as I am here, there will be war.”
“战无停息。”南山樵子不由肃然起敬，说道：“陛下才是我辈的楷模，陛下的道心之坚定，是我辈永不能及的。”
“There is no end to the war.” Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help but respect, and said: “Your Majesty is the role model for my generation. Your Majesty’s determination of Taoism is something that my generation will never be able to match.”
“好了，不要拍马屁了。”李七夜轻轻地摆了摆手，淡淡地说道。
“Okay, don’t flatter me anymore.” Li Qiye waved his hand lightly and said lightly.
南山樵子不由干笑了一声，当然，他并非是拍马屁，刚才的话的确是由衷而发。
Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help laughing dryly. Of course, he wasn’t flattering. What he said just now was indeed from the bottom of his heart.
南山樵子回过神来之后，不由再仔细地琢磨了一下黑泥，过了好一会儿之后，他有些惊讶，说道：“这里面的气息，曾经在石韵道统出现过。”
After Nanshan Qiaozi came back to his senses, he couldn’t help pondering the black mud carefully. After a while, he was a little surprised, and said: “The breath inside here has appeared in Shiyun Taoism before.”
“这么说来，你是见过了。”李七夜淡淡地笑着说道。
“So, you have seen it before.” Li Qiye said with a faint smile.
南山樵子忙是说道：“我有一次游历石韵道统之时~Soverse.com~突然爆发出一股气息，但这气息来得快，去得也很快，我曾经追寻过它，它却消失得无影无踪，好像这只是偶然一般。尽管是如此，这气息让我印象十分深刻，所以到今天我还记得。”
Nanshan Qiaozi hurriedly said: “When I visited Shiyun Taoism once~ Soverse.com~ suddenly burst out a breath, but this breath came and went quickly. I have pursued it before. It disappeared without a trace, as if it was just a coincidence. Even so, the smell made a deep impression on me, so I still remember it to this day.”
“那就没错了。”李七夜淡淡地一笑，说道：“也该是如此，只不过，有些事情，比想象中还要严重。”
“That’s right.” Li Qiye smiled lightly and said: “It should be the same, but some things are more serious than imagined.”
说到这里，李七夜不由望着外面，神态有些凝重。
Speaking of this, Li Qiye couldn’t help but look outside, with a dignified expression.
“能一见此神物，我这一辈子也没有白活了，多谢陛下的慷慨。”南山樵子双手捧着黑泥，还给了李七夜。
“When I can see this fetish, my life will not be in vain. Thank you for your generosity.” Nanshan woodcutter held the black mud in both hands and returned it to Li Qiye.
李七夜从黑泥中拈了小小一撮的黑泥，淡淡地说道：“念你识大势，赐你一点，虽然不能让你长生，也能让你益寿延年。”
Li Qiye picked up a small handful of black mud from the black mud, and said lightly: “I think you know the general trend, and I will give you a little. Although it can’t make you live longer, it can also prolong your life.”
南山樵子不由愕了一下，回过神来，惊喜无比，他懂得这黑泥的珍贵，他忙是伏拜，感激不尽，说道：“谢陛下的恩赐。”随之恭恭敬敬地接过这一小小撮的黑泥，小心翼翼地把它收藏起来。
Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help being stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he was very pleasantly surprised. He understood the preciousness of the black mud, and he hurriedly bowed down, grateful, and said: “Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty.” Then respectfully Respectfully took this small handful of black mud, carefully put it away.
“未来的九秘道统，还需要你辅佐，尽力吧。”李七夜随意吩咐地说道。
“The future Nine Secrets orthodoxy still needs your assistance, so do your best.” Li Qiye said casually.
“陛下的意思——”回过神来，南山樵子不由吃惊，虽然他心里面也能想得到，只不过这来得太快了。
“Your Majesty’s meaning—” When he came back to his senses, Nanshan Qiaozi couldn’t help but be surprised. Although he could think of it in his heart, it just came too fast.
“这江山，也不是我的，还不值得我留守。”李七夜淡淡地说道：“但，想经营好它，也不是一件容易的事情。”
“This country does not belong to me, and it is not worthy of my stay.” Li Qiye said lightly: “However, it is not an easy task to manage it well.”
“小的明白。”南山樵子忙是再拜，说道：“以后只要皇后娘娘有需要小的地方，有需要九连山的地方，一纸召唤便可。”
“I understand.” Nanshan Qiaozi hurriedly worshiped again, and said: “From now on, as long as the empress needs a small place, and a place that needs Jiulian Mountain, you can call with a single letter.”
毫无疑问，当南山樵子说出这话的时候，既是向李七夜效忠，也是向柳初晴效忠。
There is no doubt that when Nanshan Qiaozi said this, he was loyal to Li Qiye as well as Liu Chuqing.
