Chapter 84 Say long is not long, short is not short
Mei'er turned her head and looked at the cradle silently, really? No one in the Netherworld knew who the child's mother was. can be a bright person, since he loves it, how can he hide it? Besides, even if a child is born, how can he abandon the child's biological mother and marry someone else?
This kind of style and behavior is completely inconsistent with Mingchen's character, he doesn't have a great hardship in his heart, can't he treat people?
"Who is Yu'er? Does the emperor like her very much? ”
Dong Niang's back straightened, and she said proudly: "Yu'er is my master, she was originally the princess of the southwest mountain villa in the lower realm, because of her unique skill of repairing the subsidence, she was summoned by the emperor to the upper realm ninety years ago, and she was responsible for repairing the demon fire in the area of the Jirui Mountain Range. ”
Mei'er's whole body was shocked, and her face was even paler, ninety years ago? The demon fire in that area of the Jirui Mountains?
She vaguely remembered that day she was on the cliff and saw the entire sky red with a sea of red fire burning in the distance, and three black war arrows that shot into the netherworld like lightning.
The emperor was troubled by my departure to the Netherworld, and shot seven ancient arrows, which broke the Jirui Mountains outside the cliff, causing the ground to subside, and the flames soared into the air, when I entered the secret passage, Ming Chen was repairing the earth deep underground, could it be that he couldn't wait to completely extinguish the fire at that time, so he hurried to the heavenly realm to find me?
This old woman said that ninety years ago, her Yu'er was summoned into the palace by Mingchen to put out fires, so this fire must have burned for more than ninety years, right?
"Has that fire burned for many years?"
Dong Niang slapped her thigh and shouted: "Yes, it's been burned for many, many years!" ”
Mei'er's face sank, and she shouted in a low voice: "Keep your voice low, don't disturb the child!" ”
Dong Niang hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and said in a low voice: "Speaking of that fire, this history is long, listen to the patriarchs of the temple, this fire started a hundred years ago, raged for tens of thousands of miles, and burned day and night, don't you know?" The entire Netherworld knows about this!"
Mei'er was expressionless and muttered, "This fire has been burning for a hundred years? The emperor knows how to repair the subsidence of the earth, how can he stand by and let this fire burn for a hundred years? You talk nonsense. ”
Dong Niang looked indignant, pulled Mei'er's sleeve and said: "This nurse, in addition to my Yu'er daring to question over the years, as far as you are willing to say the words you listen to, the emperor does know how to repair the ground, but he has always ignored it, every time the light curtain cracks, it is for Yu'er to take action to repair the light curtain, do you know, several times Yu'er was ordered to repair the light curtain, all of them walked vertically, came back horizontally, the whole body was hot like a big stove, and it took a few days or even ten days to wake up in a coma, and the old body felt heartache when I looked at it! ”
Mei'er said lightly: "Since your girl has this magic skill, and she is willing to serve the royal family, no matter how tragic the process is, she should bear it, right?" Besides, your girl has repaired the ground for many years, and she is still undamaged, right? ”
Dong Niang's face was embarrassed, touched the bun on her head, and said, "Yes, yes." ”
Mei'er remembered something and said strangely: "Repair the light curtain? Isn't it subsidence? ”
Dong Niang said with a smile: "At the beginning, it was to repair the light curtain, and the emperor did not personally repair the subsidence, but just hung his Qingying Divine Sword on the Ji Rui Mountain Range, turning it into a huge light curtain, enveloping the sea of fire below, but the fire was too fierce, and the light curtain could not withstand the high temperature, and it would crack every few years, which would need to be repaired by manpower, otherwise it would burn down the light curtain and spread to the periphery. Yu'er broke the cauldron and sank the boat, risking her life, opening the light curtain and going deep into the crack, and repairing the ground with her own essence and blood. ”
Mei'er frowned and said, "What has Emperor Zun been doing all these years?" ”
Dong Niang swallowed: "How can this old body know? You think he's the master, why does he have to tell us? It's just that when we first went to the upper realm, Emperor Venerable was in retreat and cultivating, and then after about twenty or thirty years, he retreated and cultivated for another ten years. ”
"Emperor Zun has been busy cultivating all these years? So the light curtain has always been repaired by Miss Yu'er? ”
"Yes, yes!"
Mei'er looked at Dong Niang silently, this old woman's voice trembled when she spoke, it can be seen that she was extremely panicked, why is this?
She whispered, "A hundred years? Has the fire really been burning for a hundred years? Is it that long? ”
Dong Niang looked at Mei'er inexplicably and said, "This nurse, it seems that you are only in your early teens and twenties, right?" No wonder you don't know, the fires in the Jirui Mountains have been burning for a hundred years! Listening to Yu'er's words, all the creatures inside have long been turned into ashes, what a pity! I heard that there are tens of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains over there, but now there is nothing! This is really a sin, a sin! ”
Mei'er felt bitter in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at the Qingluan Warm Pavilion, the pattern inside was like yesterday, and even the bedding on the bed was no different from the day she left.
Time seemed to have stopped in the Qingluan Warm Pavilion, but in the entire region, time never stopped, still calmly unhindered, all the way forward - a hundred years.
She was in a trance, when she first woke up, I thought it was a few days later, and then I saw my spiritual position in the temple of the underworld, and heard Yun Qi crying and incense for herself, I thought it was a few years Now, this gray-haired old woman told me that it had been a hundred years
I've been dead for a hundred years?
Time flies, time flies, white clouds and dogs, vicissitudes of life, a hundred years is not long, but it is enough to change many people and moods in the world.
The temple of Hades enshrines my spiritual seat, which does look like it has some traces of age, can this be faked?
She turned her eyes and glanced at the small cradle on the Qingyu platform, the child was already asleep, very quiet, this child was Mingchen's son, he even gave birth to a son, can this still be fake?
She smiled gloomily, brushed Dong Niang's hand away, and said, "That fire is still burning?" ”
Dong Niang waved her hand and said: "No, no, I heard Yu'er say that three days ago, there were some distinguished guests who came to visit, and the emperor personally entertained him on the cliff, and then the emperor personally extinguished the fire, and this century-old scourge finally went." ”
Mei'er's whole body was shocked, distinguished guest? On the cliff? The Emperor of Hades personally entertained him?
Could this guest be from Celestial? Is it the emperor? It must be, who else but the emperor dares to step into the Netherworld Territory alone for half a step?
Hehe, there is another me, back then, I didn't know the height of the sky, and I entered this land with a fearless heart
The scene in the ancient courtyard back then was not the end of the story, a hundred years later, the two of them still met, this time, why did they come?
"Visited three days ago? Do they have hands-on fights? ”
Dong Niang grew her mouth and said continuously: "I don't know, I don't know, Yu'er was also on the cliff at that time...... She didn't elaborate much on this, but Yan Dao Emperor Zun finally took action to extinguish the demon fire. ”
Mei'er muttered, "Emperor Zun personally extinguished the fire?" Why did he wait a hundred years to put out the fire? ”
"This, this, maybe there was Yu'er in the past, so the emperor didn't make a move! I really don't know about these things. ”
Mei'er looked at Dongniang quietly, when the mother-in-law said the word Yu'er, her face and eyes were full of love, which showed that she was very spoiled by this master, Mei'er said: "What kind of girl is your Yu'er?" ”
Dong Niang's chest straightened, and her face was colorful: "My Yu'er, beautiful appearance, smart and clever since childhood, she had an adventure when she was ten years old, swallowed the essence and blood left by Emperor Ancuo in the southwest foothills, and then Yu'er had the ability to repair the subsidence without a teacher, and then Yu'er thought about the upper realm, she thought about it day and night, and looked forward to it year after year, and finally looked forward to it ninety years ago - the four old gentlemen of Dongyuan came to my southwest mountain villa, and said that the Jirui Mountains had a subsidence, and the emperor wanted to retreat and cultivate, and had no time to take care of anything else, I heard that my Yu'er has a magic skill, so I came to invite, hoping that Yu'er will become a naturalized upper realm, serve the royal family, and extinguish the fire.
She babbled and said, between her words, she was praising how brave her Yu'er was, when year and month she repaired the light curtain once, and after a few years, she went to repair it again Yunyun Mei'er interrupted Dong Niang's words, shook her head and said: "Why does the emperor want to retreat and cultivate?" His abilities have already been perfected, so why do you need to retreat and cultivate? ”
Dong Niang laughed and said: "This old body doesn't know, but Emperor Zun has indeed practiced in retreat over the years, Yu'er said"
She stopped, as if she didn't dare to say any more, and Mei'er asked, "Why?" ”
Dong Niang glanced at the closed palace door, Yu'er has not come back yet, this royal wedding festival must be extremely cumbersome, maybe it is still tossing on that platform, but it is a pity that I have to stay in this deserted palace to listen to the little prince's whining cry, and now I have to be forced to chat with this woman who appeared inexplicably, and I can't go to watch the ceremony in person, hey!
Mei'er saw Dongniang's absent-minded look, she was slightly irritable, and a gust of wind blew away, turned her back and forth a few times, and shouted in a low voice: "Old woman, don't get distracted, I don't have much time, you hurry up and tell the truth." ”
Dong Niang sneezed a few times in the cold wind, and hurriedly hugged a stool next to her to stabilize her top-like body, she said with a crying voice: "This nurse, please don't be impatient, the old body is just imagining the scene of today's emperor and Yu'er's ceremony, Yu'er is brought up by me with one hand and one foot, she got married today, but I can't go to the ceremony, I can only think about it in my mind for a while, hehe, for a while." ”
