Chapter 35: The Road is in the Heart
Mei'er walked to the threshold of purple jade, looked up at the vast sky outside the temple, took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of flowers, looked back and smiled: "It's nothing!" I've been idle in the palace for a long time, and I feel bored, so I want to go out and walk around. Besides, I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, and I'm worried that it's time to go back. ”
The wise man lowered his eyes and looked at the smooth purple jade floor tiles under his feet, coughed lowly, and did not answer.
Mei'er waited for a while, and didn't see the wise man answer, she felt quite strange, how did the old gentleman who usually talks like a river become a muffled gourd?
She approached the wise man and gently brushed the old man's long beard with her sleeve: "Old man, are you pretending to be asleep?" Why don't you answer me? ”
The wise man raised his head and softened his voice: "The Heavenly Palace is the home of the master mother, and there is no need for the master mother to miss the past. ”
Mei'er was stunned and surprised: "What do you mean by this? ”
The wise man hesitated, this matter was explained by the emperor himself to the master's mother, and the consequences were naturally different, but now the emperor turned into a wild crane and disappeared, and the master's mother just asked today, and he only felt in a dilemma.
Mei'er's face changed slightly, she approached the wise man, and asked, "What is the difficulty of the old gentleman?" ”
The wise man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Master, your hometown has long been wiped out in the Heavenly Domain and no longer exists. ”
Mei'er's surprise was not trivial, she held on to the big pillar in the temple to fix her swaying body, and said in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Ashes? When was this? ”
The wise man turned around and knelt in front of the altar, his voice undisturbed: "The ancients stipulated that those who get the colorful phoenix crown to marry must die out on the day they enter the palace. It has its own new family to replace, and the cycle is alternate to ensure the balance of the heavenly domain and the reproduction is immortal. ”
Mei'er rushed to the wise man and said angrily, "What kind of rule is this? How can it be so unconscionable? Are those all living beings? ”
The wise man prostrated on the ground, congratulated and kowtowed to the jade statue of the Holy Ancestor, without saying a word.
Mei'er watched the wise man kneel down and worship the cold jade statue like garlic, and her heart was cold - forgive this old guy and don't dare to lie to me, my uncle's family has long ceased to exist, but it's ridiculous that I have been in the game for the past two years, and I can stay in this hateful place with peace of mind!
She clenched her fists and looked at the wise man who was as silent as an old man, eager to kick him out of the temple.
After a while, she calmed down, leaned down, and said coldly in the wise man's ear: "You haven't answered my words yet, where is the way out of the palace?" ”
The wise man straightened up, looked at Mei'er with soft eyes, and replied softly: "Mastermother, there are thousands of ways out of the palace, all in your heart,"
Mei'er didn't know why, so she had to ask patiently: "What is the road in the heart?" I have been in the palace for nearly two years, and I see either clouds or fog, old man, I am going to leave the palace now, where is the road? ”
The wise man turned around and knelt on the ground: "The old slave doesn't dare to deceive the master's mother, the road is indeed in the master's mother's heart, but the master's mother will know after the emperor's return to unveil the crown." ”
Mei'er bit her lip and said, "Why do I have to wait for him to come back before I can know the truth?" ”
The wise man raised the grapefruit peel like an old face, and replied helplessly: "This is a rule set by ancient times, the master mother, please be calm and not impatient, what is the matter, when the emperor returns, everything will be easy to say." ”
Mei'er touched the phoenix crown on her head, smiled astringently, and said lightly: "Really?" Rules, rules! However, why did the emperor not return for a long time? Is this also the rule? ”
The wise man's whole body trembled, and he said vaguely: "On that day, the divine dragon warned that the emperor went out to inspect, this was an accident, not intentional. ”
Mei'er sighed and said softly: "Divine Dragon Warning? Old gentleman, you haven't told me, why can the dragon warning alarm alarm the emperor? What does this warning portend? ”
The wise man's deep gaze suddenly changed to panic: "Shenlong, this is a warning left by the ancients, which involves too wide, the old slave doesn't know where to start, the master mother or wait for the emperor to come back, and then ask for it!" ”
Mei'er pursed her lips, only to feel a sullen breath surging in her heart, she heaved and said, "Come back?" When will the emperor return? ”
The wise man looked worried, looked at the bright lights hanging in the middle of the temple, and said in a low voice: "The old slave doesn't know, the emperor has always been steady in his affairs, and he will never delay and not return. Mistress, please wait with ease. ”
Mei'er snorted and said indifferently: "I've always been very relieved, but since this is my home, why don't I even have the ability to step out of the house?" ”
The wise man stood up, pointed to the temple behind the temple, and said with a smile: "The Linlang Book Cave in the temple is a place where the ancient annals are stored. ”
Mei'er was displeased, and said: "Why does the old gentleman bother to talk about other things, you don't want to tell me this way out, won't I find it myself?" ”
The wise man scratched his head and said slowly: "The old slave said that this way is only in the heart, and it cannot be found." ”
Mei Er rushed up angrily, she glanced coldly at the statue of the Holy Ancestor, turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and suddenly turned her head after crossing the threshold and said, "Old man, don't you think it's strange? It's been nearly two years since the emperor left the palace! ”
The wise man looked at Mei'er's back as she left quickly, and sighed, during this time, he was already familiar with the gentle temperament of the master mother, and it was the only time in the past two years that he walked away regardless of his manners.
He looked back at the purple jade lamppost next to the altar, a cluster of hunting flames lit on the delicate and clear lamp plate, the fire was as strong as ever, he looked puzzled, and muttered, "Why is this?" ”
The old man hobbled to the edge of the white jade platform in front of the temple, looking at the distant sky.
A gust of wind swept through the sycamore forest under the temple, and the wise man's dizzy old eyes suddenly glowed, he took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "Come out!" ”
The wind eased instantly, and the three bronze fighters appeared vigorous in the wind.
The wise man's eyes flashed, and he said urgently: "Can you find the whereabouts of the emperor?"
The bronze fighter bowed and replied, "I have waited for many times to search back and forth on that ruin, but I have not seen any trace of the emperor and the two guardians. ”
The wise man stroked his forehead with his hand, and the old man's voice was restless: "Are there any other anomalies in the ruins?" ”
The bronze fighter shook his head and said, "No, it's just a desolation. ”
"What about the periphery? Is there a search? ”
"There is a dense black forest on the outside, and there is nothing unusual about it, so we are mainly looking for it in the ruins."
The wise man waved his hand and said, "Continue to search in various areas, and if there is anything abnormal, notify me immediately." ”
"Yes."
The wise man sat down on the platform in a dejected manner, holding his head, puzzled: "The emperor has always been very measured, if there is no accident, he will never delay and not return, and the guardian and the protector will not let the emperor linger!" What happened here? ”
