Chapter 57: Jokes

The Heavenly Emperor was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "That's just my father's idea, not mine." ”

Mei'er looked angry, and said in her heart that your father's idea is the idea of the entire Heavenly Palace, and if you change places, your decision is probably no different from your father's.

The emperor looked gloomy, and said in a low voice: "That tragic war happened when I was seven years old, when I was still young, I don't know the ins and outs of the whole thing, I just remember that the queen mother took me to Sigui Cliff every day to wait for my father, we waited day after day, the queen mother's expression became more and more wilted, her face became more and more pale, and I still remember her anxious eyes."

His voice slowly lowered, the mother and son looked forward to it day and night on the Sigui Cliff, that day, there was a dazzling purple light circulating in the sky, and the father finally returned triumphantly, but at that moment, the mother fell.

That night, he knelt in front of his mother's bed, watching his mother transform into a brilliant firework, blending into the dark night sky, that night his father's black hair turned white, the emperor of the heavens, the moment his beloved wife left him, his heart was dead.

The Emperor sighed sadly for the rest of his father's life as a walking corpse, and since that year, I have rarely smiled, and I have accompanied my father every day with a heart like a dead tree, following the training plan of the imperial family, and living a monotonous life of asceticism.

Until one day, when I was here, I met that girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a clever smile, and my heart began to have impulses and expectations

The Emperor of Heaven pressed his forehead against Mei'er's forehead, and said softly: "Since that day, I have sworn in my heart that in my generation, I will permanently end this old feud, Mei'er, the Heavenly Domain does not need to kill and bleed, the Heavenly Domain wants a permanent peace and tranquility, instead of being entangled for life and life, it is better to end it and establish a new system." ”

On the side of Mei'er's head, the Emperor's head rested on her shoulder, and Mei'er had to frown and push his head away with both hands.

"You did it? Isn't it? ”

"Well, Mei'er, you are also what you want!"

Mei'er squatted down with her head in her hands, is this really my wish? Could it be that my wish is for the Heavenly Palace to destroy my family, leaving a wilderness with nothing to be found, waiting for Qing'e or me to reopen it?

What about jokes!

She smiled sadly, looked down at the barren loess under her feet, and said, "Hexi, let me ask you, since you and I are old enemies, why did you become husband and wife?" You always say I forgot, and I can't remember, but why do I forget? How could such an unforgettable event be forgotten so thoroughly? Did you and I ever argue about this? ”

Is it forgetting that causes me to fall asleep for a hundred years, or is it a hundred years of coma that causes me to forget?

The Emperor of Heaven groaned for a moment, stretched out his hand in front of Mei'er's eyes, and said softly: "Mei'er, do you remember this jade pendant?" ”

The crystal soft jade pendant, flashing with pale yellow brilliance, Mei'er stretched out her hand and twisted it, looked blankly for a long time, put it back in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven, and said lightly: "I'm not asking about this, why do you bother talking about anything else, what does this jade pendant have to do with me?" ”

The Emperor of Heaven put the jade pendant on Mei'er's hand, and said in a low voice: "Mei'er, when you and I met here, I fell in love with you at first sight, and deliberately teased you, and then we lived and died in the canyon for several years, I gave you a jade pendant, using a metaphor to send affection, do you have the slightest image in your heart?" ”

Mei'er stroked her forehead with her hand, everything was what you said, but I really had no mark, she could only smile bitterly and shake her head: "No, Hexi, I really can't remember." ”

The Emperor's hand stayed on Mei'er's spiritual platform, the faint purple light jumped, Mei'er turned her head slightly sideways and avoided it, and the Emperor sighed low and moved his hand.

That day, he washed away part of her memory in the mentality of suffering from gains and losses, and he didn't expect that his hand shook and slipped over his head, and the beauty of the meeting between the two was also washed away, at this time he was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

The two stalemate in the wind for a while, the Emperor of Heaven curled the corners of his mouth, hung the jade pendant on Mei'er's neck, and said softly: "Forget it, forget it, everything in the past has long become dust, let's not always be entangled in the sad memories of the past, you see, this land is taking on a new look, the Jinling family will definitely become the most powerful family of kings in the heavenly domain in the future, don't you want to see a green and vibrant heavenly domain?" Bloodshed and nightmares, don't belong to this space, Mei'er, we should see the future beautiful, if you feel depressed and don't want to stay here, we can go to other places first, and when you are in the mood one day, it's not too late to come back here to visit Qing'e. ”

Mei'er pushed away the Emperor's hand sullenly, she looked at the low trees swaying in the wind, did I really meet the Emperor here back then? Was it the sad dream that drew me to this sad land, and I happened to meet him?

The Emperor waited behind her for a moment, and when he saw that she was speechless, he stepped forward and took her hand and walked forward.

Mei'er followed the Emperor sullenly for a while, and suddenly stopped, there were two people in front of her who were carrying a huge log, she looked at it, it turned out to be Jiu'er and Si'er.

Jiu'er saw Mei'er and the two from a distance, so she put down the wood and ran, Mei'er looked at the sweat on his face and didn't wipe it, so she smiled and handed him a brocade scarf: "Jiu'er, why are you running so quickly?" ”

Jiu'er was a little flattered, he took the brocade scarf, and said with a sneer: "Auntie and uncle are here?" It's windy and sandy inside, so let's go back to the house and rest! ”

Jiu'er looked back at the girl who was wiping her sweat and explained: "My wife is inconvenient and can't resist carrying heavy objects, so I asked her to go back to the house to rest, Si'er said to help me carry the wood in first, aunt, south, east, west, you see which direction is the most suitable."

He scratched his head quite shyly, and then smiled happily: "Bao Xi has a child, I am thinking about finding a suitable location for the child's growth to settle down, my mother asked me to pick first, auntie, can you give me some advice?" ”

Mei'er turned her head and looked at the vast wilderness behind her, she couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while, she smiled and said: "This aunt is not good, Jiu'er, in fact, it is the same in every direction, as long as you settle down and open up well, you will definitely create a happy land for your wife and children, you can choose for yourself!" ”

Jiu'er bowed down and responded: "Aunt's teachings, Jiu'er remember." ”

Si'er took two steps, first saluted Mei'er and the Emperor of Heaven, and after saying goodbye, he said to Jiu'er: "Brother Jiu'er, since we met my aunt here, why don't you settle your home in this direction, uh, this is the northwest, Ha Luha, Brother Jiu'er, the west is yours." ”

Jiu'er glared at Si'er and muttered: "I just know that you don't like the West, so you gave me this direction early, and there is a southwest next door, Si'er, you will settle down in that direction, and we will have a good care in the future." ”

The Heavenly Emperor, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said, "The West is a good direction, you brothers and sisters can choose the right one." ”

Si'er clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Uncle said the same thing, it must be true, Jiu'er, we will high-five us now, you want the northwest, I want the southwest, and let the brothers and sisters pick the rest of the directions, do you think it's okay?" ”

Jiu'er stomped on the thick ground with her foot and said loudly, "Okay, that's it." ”

Mei'er couldn't help pursing her lips and smiled: "Since the brother and sister have said it, then they will have their own destiny, and they will not regret it in the future." ”

Jiu'er raised her palm and said to her sister: "Come, Si'er, let's high-five, aunt testify, this western land is the world of you and me." ”

Si'er pursed her lips, raised her palm, and was about to make an oath with Si'er, but her hand shrank back, and she raised her eyes to look ahead, with a little worry on her face.

Jiu'er glanced at her, knowing in his heart what she was worried about, he glanced at Mei'er and the Emperor of Heaven who were standing next to him, his heart moved, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down in front of the two, and said in a solemn voice: "Moving to Octagon is my uncle's suggestion, we have been living in a relatively closed small place since we were children, and our knowledge is shallow, this time it is a great blessing to get my uncle's guidance, but"

He turned to point to the wilderness behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Twenty years ago, my three brothers and sisters were bitten to death by a demon snake that appeared out of thin air, that scene, so that our family still thinks about it, aunt, that kind of black snake comes and goes without a trace, it is impossible to prevent it, we are afraid, there are their eggs left here, after a few years, if the monster hatches, it will be a disaster for us." I also ask my aunt and uncle to slow down and completely remove these monsters, so that we can live with peace of mind. ”

The Heavenly Emperor flicked the sleeves of his robe and said, "Didn't I say that twenty years ago, I had already washed this place with holy fire, and those exotic monsters had long since died, why did you keep talking about it?" ”

Liu'er didn't think of a selfish pleading, which provoked this noble man to have an atmosphere and was busy silent.

Mei'er pulled the emperor's robe and said unhappily: "What are you yelling at, haven't you heard of the saying that you were bitten by a snake for three years and were afraid of grass ropes?" It's normal for this snake to devour my three nephews, and it's normal for them to have fear in their hearts! ”

She stepped forward to help Liu'er up, and said gently: "Since the emperor has said that this harm has been eliminated, then it is a safe area, you don't have to worry too much, it is better to build a house with peace of mind, and take Bao Xi over to live!" ”

Liu'er lowered his head and said, "Yes." ”

Mei'er frowned slightly, and asked, "You always say that kind of black snake is terrible, what kind of monster is that?" There are many poisonous snakes in the heavenly realm, why are you so afraid of that kind of black snake? ”

Liu'er looked at the Emperor of Heaven timidly, he is not a stupid person, there are still simple skills such as observing words and feelings, and the uncle's face has become gloomy since he heard the word black snake.

Sure enough, the Emperor of Heaven waved his hand to their brothers and sisters, and said indifferently: "You better go and get busy with the affairs of the house, don't worry about this matter." ”

The six brothers and sisters were busy picking up the wood and walking to the west.
