Chapter 127: The Meaning of Homecoming
Will that day come? He was looking forward to that day.
The breeze blew through his purple robe, he closed his eyes and was silent in the wind, in the past he left a long thought here, that beautiful girl with a clever smile, has it already been scattered in the vast time and space like this passing wind?
More than six years is not long, not short, but enough to change many, many encounters and moods.
Butβeven if she appeared in front of my eyes right now, what could I do?
Take her back to the Heavenly Palace? No way!
He couldn't hurt the woman who was waiting in the palace silently waiting for his return because of her. It was his destined wife, and that was an indisputable fact.
"The latter, the emperor's wife, the phoenix crown is fixed, and the hand is held against the elder."
You can't give it up, this is the ironclad rule of the Heavenly Palace, and in his heart, although he has resisted this God-given marriage, he has never had the absurd idea of abandoning the queen.
Since I can't give her any promises in this life, it's better to never see her, let the once beautiful meaning be hidden deep in my heart, and no longer touch it until it is lost in time.
From the beginning, this beautiful encounter meant fruitless, but he still persistently missed her for many years, and for this empty thought, he kept hurting another woman, and today, he has suddenly realized that he must cut off this thought, because he wants to try to love his wife, to love the wife who has been waiting for him in the palace for several years.
If he wants to break it, he must break it completely, so that he can free his heart and take good care of his wife in the long years to come.
He sighed lowly, if it was really a dream, was this dream on the verge of lucidity?
I will eventually return to the orbit that has been set so long, this is my destiny, although at first I was unhappy, I ran away from it, but now I have realized that this life is to hold my wife's hand.
That graceful figure suddenly jumped into the heart, the throbbing of the heartstrings when she hugged her in her arms that night, hit him like a tide, how beautiful is that dream, the person in the dream, is she?
He took a deep breath, suppressed his unconsciously beating heart, and for some reason, he actually had the intention of returning.
There was a slight sound of wind in the clothes beside him, the Emperor of Heaven looked back, but saw two bronze fighters hurrying in, the Emperor of Heaven frowned, their expressions were quite emperorly, this kind of expression appeared on the face of a well-trained bronze fighter, it was a very rare thing, he asked lightly: "What's the matter?" β
The two bronze warriors stopped and bowed down and replied, "Emperor, we just discovered an unfathomable cave in the depths of the dry grass in the southwest, and there is a faint cold air coming out of the cave, I don't know what it is. β
The Heavenly Emperor's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Lead the way!" β
The Heavenly Emperor stood three feet away from the mouth of the rugged and steep black hole without saying a word, and did not move forward.
He stared at the hole in silence, his expression becoming more severe, and with a flick of the sleeves of his robe, he turned around.
A bronze fighter caught up a few steps and asked, "Emperor, maybe there is something we are looking for in this cave, do you want your subordinates to go inside and explore?" β
The Heavenly Emperor's footsteps did not stop, and his voice was calm: "No need, there will never be anything we are looking for in it, and you don't want to trespass into this cave, do you know the way?" β
The unknown bronze fighter had to walk forward with his master silently, and the Heavenly Emperor glanced at them, and his tone became serious: "This is the entrance to the underworld, it is a forbidden place, don't stay, let's go." β
A bronze fighter seemed to gasp, and the Heavenly Emperor's sharp eyes swept over his panicked face, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" β
The bronze warrior's whole body trembled, Fang stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said, "In the past, my subordinates saw this hole strangely, and when they were reckless, they shot an arrow into it as a temptation, and I don't know if it will cause trouble......
The Heavenly Emperor paused and looked back at the hole hidden in the dead grass, except for the wisps of cold air that continued to overflow, the hole seemed to be nothing unusual, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the bridge of his tall nose, and sighed: "Trouble is coming." β
At this moment, a cloud of mist surged out from the cave, and a flash of essence flashed in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes, and the sleeves of his robe flicked back, swinging the four bronze fighters standing beside him more than ten feet, and shouted in a low voice: "Get out of the way, something is about to come out." β
There seemed to be a violent commotion in the cave, and the screams of Suo Suo were endless, and suddenly a dark black shadow flew out of the cave like a meteor through the white mist, and in just a moment, it had spread out in mid-air, but it was a black giant snake more than a thousand feet long, its huge snake head was in a sharp triangle, and its large mouth full of fangs made a hissing and panting sound, and the thick white mist was constantly spewing out from its mouth.
The Emperor of Heaven opened his right palm, and a few dazzling purple lights jumped in the palm of his hand, and he threw the purple light backhand at the bronze fighter who was standing still, and said in a deep voice: "Take it, this thing is highly poisonous, you retreat." β
He looked at the black snake that was churning and hovering in the air for a moment, and felt a little hesitant in his heart, this thing must be a divine beast in the netherworld, if it is cut under the sword, it will inevitably provoke the entanglement and revenge of the people in the netherworld, because it was disturbed by its own subordinates, in the final analysis, it is his own fault first, but if this beast is allowed to spray poisonous mist here, it will definitely poison the creatures in the heavenly domain, and the thought is still flashing, the black snake has turned its huge head and pounced on him.
The sound of rapid footsteps woke up the Immortal Emperor, who was kneeling in the temple with his eyes closed and pondering, he opened his eyes and asked with a little displeasure, "What's the matter?" β
An old man in sackcloth walked in quickly, holding a sharp arrow glowing with cold light in his hand, he approached the Emperor of the Underworld and said in a low voice: "Emperor, in the past, my subordinates found this arrow in the snake cave, and it seems to be from a foreign land. β
The Nether Emperor stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it lightly, and with a slight force in his hand, he snapped the arrow and broke it, without speaking.
His eyebrows were tightly locked, and the people in the Heavenly Domain were also there? Was I negligent, I forgot that she said that Tianjun went to the Jinling ruins, and she insisted on going there this time for him?
His heart was suddenly in turmoil, if Mei'er saw the Heavenly Monarch, she would definitely return to the Heavenly Palace with him, how could this be? She couldn't go back.
The heart of the Emperor of the Underworld trembled, if Mei'er really went with the Emperor of Heaven, would I still be able to see her in this life?
Knowing this, even if she hates me for a while, she shouldn't be allowed to set foot on that strange land alone.
The old man in sackcloth continued: "There is one more thing, the snake god seems to be disturbed by this incoming arrow, and he is afraid that he will break through the hole, which is troublesome. β
The Hades Emperor's expression remained unchanged, he looked up at the Jade Statue of the Holy Ancestor, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Disturbed the Snake God? Well, I'll take a look...... Let me know the master of this arrow. β
His deep eyes flashed with a strange light, and he slowly turned and stepped out of the temple, disappearing into the vast mist.
