The main city of the empire is the southernmost position of the Haoyue Empire.

If Yancheng is very large, then the main city has a scale that is hundreds or even thousands of times larger than Yancheng.

The main city has a population of tens of millions, and the density of living is very concentrated, and there are many bottomless streets that are sold on the streets.

At this time, it was just nightfall, and the streets were full of lanterns, like a city without night, even if it was dark but there was no feeling of night, it was still full of people, and the crowd of people came and went.

This is the most prosperous place in the entire Haoyue Empire, and it is also the place where the royal family is located, and occasionally there are one or two teams of gold-armored soldiers patrolling, which is the foundation of maintaining order in the main city.

The wind eagle landed at the south gate of the main city, and the city gate handle carried dozens of gold-armored soldiers, and the three of them came to the outside of the city, and the gold-armored soldiers stopped the comers.

The black tiger took out a golden token, which depicted a hovering golden dragon with a swallow character in the middle.

This is since the founding of the country, the first generation of the lord of the country to be crowned by the Yan family, is to highlight the identity of the Yan family token, but also the past generations of family owners are qualified to wear the token, in the face of the imperial power of the token even has the right to do everything, first cut and then play.

It can be seen that the Yan family existed at that time, and how powerful the court was, but the Yan family had unprecedented family rules, and they were not allowed to participate in politics for generations.

Seeing that the black tiger took out this token, a captain of the golden armor soldier squad of the Tianwu Realm hurriedly ran over, he took the token and looked at it repeatedly, and when he saw Yan Jiangbei behind the black tiger, his heart was suddenly shocked.

He knelt down on one knee with all the gold-armored soldiers and said respectfully, "See Lord Yan." ”

Yan Jiangbei said lightly: "Yan Tong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The captain of the Golden Armor squad raised his head excitedly and said, "Lord Yan, don't come here unharmed. ”

Back then, Yan Tong had just joined the city defense team, and Yanjiangbei, who was famous at that time, once came to the main city, Yan Tong didn't recognize him, so he blocked the way to Yanjiangbei, and of course it was repaired.

Later, I learned that Yan Tong was Yan Hongqing's younger brother, and I learned that it was the water that washed the Dragon King Temple, and I also got some guidance from Yanjiangbei.

The city gate opened, and the three of them were welcomed in by Yan Tong, and the prosperity that greeted them when they walked into the city was also refreshing to Deyan Hongchen.

Yan Tong asked, "Lord Yan, do you need me to arrange someone to accompany you?"

Yan Jiangbei waved his hand and said no.

This time I came just to deal with business, and it is inconvenient to be accompanied by a few more people, and the less people know, the better.

Yan Hongchen followed behind the two of them, walking aimlessly, for nearly an hour.

When you come to a brightly lit lake, there are many paper boats carrying candles in the flowing water on the lake, which is very beautiful.

The lake is surrounded by a variety of flowers and plants, and a long wooden bridge with two rows of lanterns on the railing of the small bridge leads to a small wooden pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Yan Jiangbei slowly walked towards the wooden bridge, and the black tiger grabbed Yan Hongchen, who was about to follow, and motioned for him to stay and wait.

Yan Hongchen knew that this was the place where her mother used to come often, Huayue Lake. The night view here is also quiet, and although there are many people around, there is little noise.

Maybe most of the people who come here have something on their minds, or maybe some men and women are chatting in pairs and whispering in their ears.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Yan Jiangbei stroked the guardrail of the wooden bridge, for so many years, it is still vaguely like the past, but the person who played the guqin in the lake is missing.

Coming to the outside of the wooden pavilion, lifting the curtain, Yan Jiangbei walked in, it was still the same as it was back then, a guqin was quietly placed there, as if a woman was still saying to Yan Jiangbei.

"Childe, if you don't dislike it, please sit down!"

Yan Jiangbei took out the jade flute he wore on his waist and played it.

Suddenly, the cold and desolate sound resounded throughout Huayue Lake, which was a kind of longing that had been buried in my heart for many years.

For so many years, no one could let him tell the story in his heart, and everything was cathartic in this rhythm.

After all, Yanjiangbei is a powerful realm of a saint, and every move can create a powerful power, and what is hidden in the sound of the flute is the energy of a saint to perceive heaven and earth.

The whole silent lake was filled with turbulent waves, and a powerful energy swept out of the lake, carrying the sound of the flute for a long time.

It's a pity that the sound of the flute is still cold, I don't hear the sound of the piano, the young man is getting old, where is the beauty now?

At this time in the lake, near the pavilion, an opening was opened, and the lake seemed to be separated by some force.

The black tiger beckoned Yan Hongchen to go up, and the two walked to the pavilion, Yan Jiangbei was the first to enter, and then the two also followed into the lake.

There was a secret door in the lake, and three doors entered the secret door that had been opened, and then the secret door closed, and the lake returned to its original appearance.

After entering the secret door, this side is also a world, a long corridor, and there is a lantern hanging every two meters.

After walking along the corridor for about a quarter of an hour, the three of them came to a bright place, and when they looked up, they could see the flowing paper boats in the lake, and the candlelight of the wooden pavilion, but the lake was cut off.

This space is circular, with lanterns arranged in a row, and in the center is a snow-white jade coffin.

There was also a woman of about thirty years of age, dressed as a maid of some family, who wiped the jade coffin with a white handkerchief.

He didn't seem to notice that Yan Jiangbei was coming, so he wiped it by himself, and muttered in his mouth: "Miss, calculate the time, my uncle is coming to see you, are you not happy!"

Yan Hongchen felt that this maid's cultivation was the energy fluctuation of a person's martial realm.

Yan Jiangbei didn't seem to bear to disturb her, the black tiger coughed dryly, and the maid looked up in the direction of the source of the sound.

hurriedly walked away and said as he walked, Uncle is here, Miss, Uncle is here.

Yan Jiangbei lowered his head and sighed, and said, "Xiaohuan, I told you last time, take some gold coins to find a good person, why are you so strong." ”

This woman's name is Li Xiaohuan, who was originally an orphan, but was later adopted by the Li family as a maid, and also took the surname Li.

Li Xiaohuan followed Li Xian'er at the age of seven and has always been inseparable, and Li Xian'er treated her very well, almost like her own sister, until Li Xian'er married into the Yan family, he also accompanied the Yan family.

Later, Li Xian'er passed away unexpectedly, Yan Jiangbei originally wanted to bury Li Xian'er in Yancheng, but when she was born, Li Xian'er liked the scenery of Huayue Lake very much, so she used a lot of manpower of the Yan family, and built this underwater tomb at the bottom of Huayue Lake through some means.

Li Xiaohuan finally accompanied him to the tomb, and this stay was twenty years, according to Li Xiaohuan's own words, she was the maid of the young lady, and she was also the maid of the young lady.

If she wasn't allowed to enter the underwater tomb with Li Xian'er, Li Xiaohuan would rather die, but seeing that she couldn't resist her, Yan Jiangbei had no choice but to agree.

At first, I just hoped that with the passage of time, Li Xiaohuan could get out of her grief and find a new life, but after 20 years, it is still the same as at the beginning.

It seems that in her heart, Li Xian'er, the master, is just asleep, talking to herself to the jade coffin every day.

Li Xiaohuan lowered his head and said, "Miss is alone here, how can I bear it? Miss is most afraid of the dark, I have to accompany Miss here." ”

After saying that, Li Xiaohuan hurriedly turned her head and ran to the jade coffin, and when she arrived at the jade coffin, she patted it gently with her hand, and said softly: "Miss, look, my uncle is here!"

Her eyes were full of expectation, and for a while, Yan Hongchen had a feeling of a sour nose, and those so-called white heads were nothing more than that.

Yan Jiangbei walked towards the jade coffin at this time, and the black tiger also signaled Yan Hongchen to follow, while he himself just stayed where he was.

The jade coffin is about two meters long, and the closer you get to it, the more cold it feels, a feeling that belongs to the winter when the snow melts.

The voice of the bloodthirsty halberd suddenly sounded in Yan Hongchen's mind, this is a thousand-year-old cold jade coffin, if the corpse is placed in it after death, it can keep the body from decaying, it is a rare thing.

I saw that in the jade coffin, there was a woman dressed in white lying quietly, with a shocking appearance, but the heavy makeup and red lips looked pale.

Here is Yan Hongchen's biological mother, Li Xian'er, a woman who was once praised as the first beauty by the empire.

Looking at his mother Yan Hongchen in the jade coffin, tears could no longer hold back, for him, his mother would rather die than stop the thief who poisoned him.

Yan Hongchen pounced, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Mother, my son has come to see you!"

The black tiger walked over, handed the two of them the three incense sticks that had been lit, and then respectfully worshiped Li Xian'er in the jade coffin.

Yan Jiangbei, looking at his wife in the jade coffin, said softly: "Xian'er, I came this time to bring you good news, Chen'er is now of marriageable age, I will take him to find the Ye family to give a dowry, if you have a spirit in the sky, you will be very happy." ”

In the past, Yan Jiangbei would come here every year to see his deceased wife, and the black tiger was also used to it, but Yan Hongchen had never been here because of his body since he was a child, and this was the first time he came.

After the worship, at the time of parting, the black tiger took out the items piled up into a hill from the storage ring, it turned out that this was for Li Xiaohuan, after all, even if a big living person is a cultivator, he also needs to eat and drink.

Yan Jiangbei still couldn't help but talk to Li Xiaohuan and said to her: "Xiaohuan, go out and find a good person, you know how to get out." ”

Li Xiaohuan still shook his head persistently, seeing that Yan Jiangbei was not much there, and then several people left the way they came.

Back at the secret door, Yan Jiangbei sensed the outside world, and then opened the door, and then the three of them left, and the secret door closed.

Back at the wooden pavilion in the lake, Yanjiangbei did not stop, and left directly, and several people found an inn to stay.

This night, Yan Hongchen couldn't sleep until late at night.

The bloodthirsty halberd asked at this time, "What's the matter?"

Yan Hongchen didn't seem to want to answer, he thought to himself, if his mother was still there, how good it would be, his father wouldn't be so painful, and that maid wouldn't be so sad.

The bloodthirsty halberd said again: "Actually, your mother's body is well preserved, and it is not impossible for you to resurrect her when you become strong in the future." ”

When Yan Hongchen heard this, his heart was shocked, can people be resurrected after death? This is something he never dared to think about, and even people he thought would think like this are stupid.

However, when the bloodthirsty halberd said it, the impossible became possible.

"Mother can really come back to life?" Yan Hongchen said excitedly.

The bloodthirsty halberd replied: "Then you should cultivate hard, when you have cultivated enough, I will naturally tell you the method, now you are too weak, even weak and pitiful, it is useless for me to tell you the method." ”

"Even my father's cultivation can't do it?" Yan Hongchen was unwilling and asked again.

"The Frog at the Bottom of the Well"

The bloodthirsty halberd only left four words, and ignored Yan Hongchen.
