Chapter Eighty-Five: Thinking Left and Right
Seeing Mo Yi lowering her eyes and thinking, Xuannu didn't mean to stop her again.
So he took a few quick steps and quickly passed him.
When he came to Mingyuan's medicine store, he cautiously looked through the medical notes he made, and finally fixed his eyes on a person's name.
Knowing in his heart that this was the key to the matter, he used a spell to copy it, and covered up the traces of the search, and quietly left.
On the Jade Mountain, by the Yao Pond.
The Queen Mother of the West sat in the room and looked at the reply of the Xuannu who had just gotten, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but bend upward.
Reply to the edict: The most beloved of the North Marsh Demon Venerable is his daughter. This woman once entered the floating mirror with Mo Yi, and her name was pouring. According to the pharmacopoeia recorded by the Kitumuma Potion Master, Tilt Miao had heart palpitations when she came out of her mother's womb, and she needed to eat the leg bones of Kui Niu to suppress the recurrence of the disease.
After reading it, the Queen Mother of the West had guessed the truth of the whole matter to eight or nine points.
In case of a mistake, she found a suitable reason on the same day, specially visited Taishang Laojun, and asked him about the characteristics of Kui Niu's leg bone and the curable diseases as if chatting.
Sure enough, everything was as she expected, and the little girl on this floor lacked a soul.
The Queen Mother of the West snorted lightly, thinking that this big family had concealed it very well, and this little girl was afraid that she didn't even know her detailed symptoms, so she entered the floating mirror with Mo Yi and did so many things that were biased.
She pondered and came up with a plan.
On the second day, Luan Que came to report that the Queen Mother of the West summoned Qing'e to the Heavenly Realm Palace, while Mo Yi and Xuannu continued to stay in Beinuma to standby.
Qing'e knelt under His Royal Highness, bowing her head, and didn't even dare to breathe.
She hadn't seen her always strict queen mother for a long time, and when she was suddenly summoned this time, she was always a little uneasy in her heart.
"Da Da~~" The Queen Mother of the West slowly walked down the hall, her long skirt swaying to the ground, her head full of pearls and emerald bells, and the fragrance was smoky.
Qing'e shook the rope and closed her eyes tightly.
Suddenly, a pair of cold hands were placed at her side.
Qing'e bit her lip, and her mind went blank.
It's just that the hands didn't do anything to side, but just helped her up.
There was a rare but cold voice from the Queen Mother of the West in her ears: "Qing'e, I haven't said anything yet, you kneel down like this, where is the appearance of a princess of the Heavenly Clan?"
Qing'e slowly looked up at her, and even had the idea that all this was actually a dream obstacle.
It's just that the next sentence of the Queen Mother of the West made her immediately confused mind return to reality immediately.
"If you really want to kneel, I'm afraid it's because you've done something wrong, right?"
Qing'e, who had just stood up, weakened her legs, plopped and knelt down again.
The floor was so hard that she didn't even know the pain, and she only thought about where she had offended her mother.
"No... No—" she replied quietly, her voice shaking.
"Oh?" the Queen Mother of the West turned around with a faint smile, "So, have you forgotten that I was going to marry you to the Emperor Ziwei of Zhongtian?"
Qing'e's brows jumped, and she immediately bent down and replied: "Qing'e has not forgotten, she has always remembered the hard work of the queen mother!"
"Bang!" The red-crowned white crane-style lamppost in the main hall was overturned by the Queen Mother of the West, and the lamp oil flowed to Qing'e's knees, and the residual temperature was still scorching.
She shouted: "Be bold!! you clearly don't have the right mouth! Do you think I don't know about the matter of the Light Picking Star Monarch?"
Qing'e was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
"Since you understand my considerations, how can you still be tempted by others? Are you not satisfied with my arrangement? Or do you think that Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei is not worthy of you?" asked the Queen Mother of the West.
"Qing'e doesn't dare! Qing'e doesn't dare to !!" she kept shaking her head and replied in a sad voice.
Seeing that the level of intimidation had been reached, the Queen Mother of the West relented again.
"Qing'e. I am your mother, and although I have a lot of affairs and I don't take good care of you, you must understand that I have always been thinking about you in my heart. All my plans are for your happiness. ”
Qing'e was short of breath, but seeing that the Queen Mother of the West suddenly changed her attitude, a heart that had already mentioned her throat and eyes was slightly lowered: "Qing'e understands..."
The Queen Mother of the West smiled faintly and came closer.
She squatted down and leaned into Qing'e's ear and said, "Actually, where would I not understand your feelings for the Light Harvesting Star Monarch." If you really want to follow him, where will I have to break you up?"
When Qing'e heard this, a blazing flame suddenly ignited in her dead heart.
Her eyes were full of brilliance, as transparent as glass, staring at the Queen Mother of the West, and asked incredibly, "Is the Queen Mother telling the truth?"
"It's true, of course!" the Queen Mother of the West clasped her hand and patted her gently, "but you must do what I say." ”
Qing'e had some joy on her face, and asked eagerly: "What is it?"
The Queen Mother of the West smiled seductively and said, "In the floating mirror, you must be two-faced..."
The candle flame in the hall jumped, Qing'e listened to her instructions very carefully, and the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger...
Even if they are suspicious, Qing'e will not be able to disobey.
She understands that only by doing exactly what the queen mother says, can she not lose her love and even be with her for life.
Accompanied by a lifetime, these four words are still simple for mortals, but for the long-lived Celestial Clan, there is always endless heaviness and helplessness.
Leaving the Nine Heavenly Gates, she quietly returned to the North Marsh, and according to the instructions of the Queen Mother of the West, she made an appointment with the North Marsh Demon Venerable to talk in detail alone on the same day.
In fact, Lou Wanyan's heart was also very depressed in the past two days, and he had no plan for how to go in the future.
After all, this Qing'e was not robbed of her soul, and witnessed them seal her in an attempt to imprison her in this floating mirror.
If she reports to the Emperor of Heaven according to the truth, the Emperor of Heaven will be angry because of this, and the North Marsh will definitely usher in a great catastrophe.
But now, without waiting for him to test Qing'e, Qing'e actually took the initiative to come to the door, and what he proposed was a secret decision, and the Demon Venerable naturally agreed very happily.
Qing'e talked to Lou Wanyan alone, and she got straight to the point.
"Tomorrow, I will return to the Heavenly Court and report to the Emperor of Heaven on the ins and outs of this matter. ”
Lou Wanyan pretended to be relaxed and said: "So, dare to ask the fairy how you plan to report it?" You know, you can't talk nonsense!"
He quietly put one hand behind his back, thinking to himself, if it really can't be done, he will use force to force her to submit first.
Qing'e raised her eyes to look at him, and Qingqing replied quietly: "I will report to the Emperor of Heaven, this floating mirror was unintentionally launched by me, it was Mo Yi and Qian Miao who risked death to enter the floating world, and saved my life with great difficulty." ”
Lou Wanyan was stunned for a moment, put away the anger in his hand, and immediately asked, "Is this true?"
"Naturally, it's true. However, there is still one condition that you need to agree to. Qing'e replied with a light smile.
"Hmph!" Lou Wanyan snorted lightly, "I know that you people of the Heavenly Clan are very stingy! Where can you do things that harm yourself? Tell me quickly! What are the conditions!"
Qing'e paused for a while, and then said naturally: "Actually, my queen mother has always advocated the peaceful coexistence of the demon race and the heavenly race. Countless times, she has taught me that everything must be forgiving and forgiving. Hearing the ins and outs of this matter, she proposed to let your youngest daughter, that is, Tilt Miao, come to our Nine Heavenly Que as a guest, so as to form a good relationship with Yongbang. ”
The Demon Venerable pondered for a while.
He knew that the Queen Mother of the West on the Nine Heavenly Gates, who was in charge of punishment, had never been a good person. And this fairy aya is all her magic weapons, and now she should have wanted to devour them alive a long time ago, where could she be so kind to make such a strange request?
He was very hesitant, so he could only stabilize Qing'e first, and then said in a deep voice: "Let me think, I will reply to you before you leave tomorrow." ”
After the words fell, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Qing'e looked at his back, and her voice was cold: "Then, Demon Venerable, you have to think about it carefully! What exactly my words in front of the Heavenly Emperor's Gate depend on your decision!"
After Qing'e left, the Demon Venerable immediately summoned his two sons and Mingyuan to discuss.
The second brother Lou Lanfeng has always been thoughtful, he thought for a while, and immediately expressed his opinion: "I'm afraid, this Queen Mother of the West has already seen that we stole the immortal silk to make up for the misty soul. In such an invitation, the conclusion of friendship is fake, and the real purpose is to make the insignificance a 'quality'. ”
When Lou Xuantian heard this, he immediately said angrily: "If this is the case, we will definitely not be able to agree to their request! The people of the Heavenly Clan are like wolves, leopards and tigers to us! If we send Miao Miao up, isn't it a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? The big deal is a battle, will we still be afraid of them?"
Lou Wanyan nodded, clenched his fists, and was almost about to take the idea.
Ming Yuanben was quietly pondering on the side, and when he saw that things were going to be finalized like this, he said his thoughts out loud: "I think this matter is feasible!"
"Mingyuan, you're crazy!" Lou Xuantian shouted at him.
Lou Wanyan looked at Ming Yuan's serious expression, then stopped his impulsive eldest son, and said, "Let him say that he has always been meticulous in thinking, and he only has one set of opinions." ”
Ming Yuan bowed his head, his expression was gloomy, and he said slowly: "First of all, objectively speaking, if we fight with the Heavenly Clan, you all know in your hearts whether we have a chance of winning or not. Although the demons don't care about life and death, their original intention is to save people, not to be buried. Besides, this Heavenly Clan is a place to nourish the soul, although Miao Miao can't be cured by this, it is good to drag down the development of the disease. Otherwise, I'm afraid... She won't even survive two winters..."There was silence for a while, and the other three were heartbroken by his last words.
After a long time, Lou Wanyan raised his eyes and looked at the others, and finally sighed heavily, and said: "I can fight with the Heavenly Clan at any time for the sake of Miao, but I can't gamble on this kind of matter that is related to her life!"
"So, is this what you want to promise them? No matter how you look at it, it's a trap!" Lou Lanfeng was still a little hesitant.
Lou Wanyan's eyes were as sharp as attention, and he said in a cold voice: "This kind of persecution is no longer allowed for us to say that it is not worth it." However, if they dare to let Miao Miao suffer a little grievance, I will smash his heavenly court out of the hole even if I am broken to pieces!"
