4. The so-called cost
Just as Tao Xiaoyao took down the plaque of the marriage house and made a look of disgust, a scream suddenly came from her ears.
"Ah, my plaque!"
As soon as the words fell, a white shadow immediately appeared in front of Tao Xiaoyao, the white beard, wrinkled into a bitter gourd old face, and the expression of wanting to cry without tears was the old man.
Yue Lao didn't have time to look at Tao Xiaoyao, and looked at the plaque that was knocked down by Tao Xiaoyao with a heartache, and his hand trembled and touched the three big characters with gold edges, "Ouch, my aunt, this is the plaque I asked for so hard from Wenqu Xing, and I have been hanging it on the door and I am reluctant to take it down for fear of breaking it." ”
Tao Xiaoyao playfully stuck out her tongue, put on an extremely innocent posture, spread her hands, and her eyes rolled around, "Who told you to avoid me." ”
deserves it, I knew that this broken plaque was so important, and the old moon who could provoke him to hide like a turtle came out, Tao Xiaoyao should have done this a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Tao Xiaoyao crossed her waist and pointed at Yue Lao, who was squatting on the ground with a heartache on his face, "Stinky old man, if it weren't for you avoiding me, what if I would have squatted at the door and then been discovered by Lei Heng? If it weren't for you......, would I have met that Jade Emperor in the future?"
When Tao Xiaoyao was about to make a long speech, Yue Lao stood up violently, and no longer cared about the plaque on the ground that he still regarded as a treasure at the moment before. "What? You said you saw the Jade Emperor?"
The tone was very shocked, and the vibrato that revealed could vaguely detect that Yue Lao's expression was a little nervous.
Tao Xiaoyao rolled her eyes, noncommittal to Yue Lao's rhetorical question.
Yue Lao's face sank suddenly, and there was some indescribable sadness, as if it was even sadder than when the plaque was knocked down by Tao Xiaoyao before.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided. The old man muttered, "I can't hide from what I should come." ”
Tao Xiaoyao was confused by the old moon's chatter, brushed the hair scattered in front of her forehead, tilted her head and looked at the old moon who looked a little depressed for some reason.
"What disaster?" Tao Xiaoyao asked, the Jade Emperor didn't find out his identity, where did the disaster come from?
Yue Lao shook his head, sighed, and his eyes full of love and regret fell on Tao Xiaoyao, and the sadness was self-evident. Yue Lao beckoned to her, motioning for her to follow, and at that moment, his back really looked a little old.
"Come on, don't you want to know about your mother?" said the old man.
In a small room behind the marriage house, which was guided by Yue Lao, Xiao Jiu happened to lie on the soft couch directly opposite the door, noticed that someone had come in, raised his eyelids and looked at Yue Lao and Tao Xiaoyao who came in casually, and regained his lazy demeanor.
Sure enough, Yue Lao still couldn't hide Tao Xiaoyao.
All this should have been known to her, since she wanted to know the result at all costs.
Xiao Jiu turned over, shook his thin and long tail, and used his petite body to shrink into the quilt like a loach.
Yue Lao walked to the soft couch and poked the ups and downs formed by Xiao Jiu's nest in the quilt with his hand, deliberately not wanting Xiao Jiu to avoid this scene of explaining to Tao Xiaoyao.
Xiao Jiu shrank and shrank in the quilt, and finally couldn't bear Yue Lao's poking three times and twice, snorted a few times, and finally reluctantly poked his head out of the quilt, and communicated with Yue Lao with an extremely resentful look.
I told her about her background, and as for that, it's up to you to tell you what happened.
You can't bear to let an old man tell that girl these things.
I can't bear it, if I want to be older than you.
You are a fire descendant, if you cross the river and tear down the bridge, I don't care about my old man, if you don't say it, I won't say it, see who can withstand whom.
......
Just as a fairy and a beast were chatting in an extremely strange way, Tao Xiaoyao couldn't help it, slapped the table, and made a noise to make them notice her.
"Yue Lao, don't you want to tell me...... Biluo's matter?"
Yue Lao and Xiao Jiu looked at each other, and finally took a step back.
"I'll take the first half, you say the second half. Yue Lao said.
"Deal!" Xiao Jiu's expression revealed the message of promise.
No matter what, Tao Xiaoyao and Yue Lao still sat down face to face, and Yue Lao sorted out his thoughts a little, and then asked tentatively.
"How did the Jade Emperor feel when he saw you today?"
Tao Xiaoyao thought for a while and replied, "Well, it's similar to an ordinary old man, I don't feel so serious, and asked me some inexplicable questions, I almost thought he knew my background, but then I thought about it, if he really knew, then I would still be able to sit and chat with him face to face." ”
Tao Xiaoyao explained 1510.
Yue Lao sighed faintly, that was because this girl didn't know how important Biluo was in the Jade Emperor's heart.
"What should I say about this? Yue Lao hesitated and organized his own language, "Actually, the Jade Emperor knows your identity. ”
Yue Lao slowly confided this fact, trying to say it in an extremely soft tone, so as not to react too violently.
However, this news was so unexpected that Tao Xiaoyao stood up violently, patted the table and glared at Yue Lao, "You, you, you're kidding." ”
How could it be? How could the Jade Emperor know that she had the bloodlines of the two worlds of immortals and demons?
Yue Lao signaled Tao Xiaoyao not to be too excited, "Do you think, even me, a little old man, knows about it, how can the Jade Emperor not know about this matter?"
"So......" Tao Xiaoyao couldn't digest the news for a while, and scratched her hair that was a little messy, "Isn't my situation very dangerous!"
Tao Xiaoyao even had an impulse to escape from Heaven with Xiao Jiu now, find a safe place to hide, lest the Jade Emperor regret it when he returned, and send troops to arrest him.
However, this was just a momentary impulse, if the Jade Emperor really wanted to arrest her, even if she fled to the ends of the earth, she would not be able to escape.
"It's not. Yue Lao shook his head and comforted Tao Xiaoyao, "On the contrary, you are not only not dangerous, but also safe." ”
"What do you say?" Tao Xiaoyao was confused by Yue Lao's words.
"Do you know who your mother is?"
"Isn't it the Peach Blossom Fairy Biluo?" The Peach Demon touched her head, if it weren't for the fact that her mother was a fairy and her father was a demon, would she be in such an embarrassing situation now?
Yue Lao nodded, and continued, "Bi girl, she was the Jade Emperor's favorite fairy at the beginning, not only talented, but also amazingly beautiful, so the Jade Emperor set her early on, to make her the future daughter-in-law of the Jade Emperor's eldest son Chang An, and give her the highest glory in the fairy world - the position of Queen Mother." ”
Chang An, how is this name a little familiar, Tao Xiaoyao didn't have time to think about it, and was taken away by Yue Lao's later words.
"But. Yue Lao paused, and the conversation changed, "This is just rumored by people who don't know, Bi Yatou is certainly talented and beautiful, but even if she is just an ordinary fairy, the future position of the queen mother will be hers, just because her father is the Jade Emperor's senior brother Yi Yang, and her mother is the Jade Emperor's little sister, Sakura Kite." ”
"As early as when the Jade Emperor was only the prince, he had worshiped the only god in the world, Meng Zhang, Shenjun, and Yi Yang, Sakura Kite out of the same door, the three of them practiced together, the relationship can be said to be increasingly deep, and then the Jade Emperor wanted to marry their little sister Sakura Kite as a wife, let her be his own queen mother, but Sakura Kite had already been with Yi Yang and the two love for a private life, the Jade Emperor had to endure the pain to cut love, to fulfill them, and then Yi Yang was more to save the Jade Emperor, when they were attacked by the python spirit, sacrificed themselves to save themselves, at that time the Sakura Kite was three months pregnant. After Yi Yang's death, Sakura Kite was in pain, and after giving birth to Biluo, he followed Yi Yang Xian, so the Jade Emperor took Biluo with him, raised her, and gave her all the spoiling, on the one hand, to express his love for Sakura Kite, and on the other hand, to thank Yi Yang for sacrificing his life, so the importance of Biluo in the Jade Emperor's mind is far more than you think. ”
Tao Xiaoyao blinked, and finally digested the story about her mother's parents, Yu Yudi, and was stunned for a moment before she tentatively spoke out.
"What do you mean, that is, the Jade Emperor will let me go because of Biluo's relationship?"
Yue Lao nodded with satisfaction, so much of his saliva was finally not in vain.
"Not only that, as the only bloodline of Biluo, you think that the Jade Emperor will love the house and Wu, and attaches great importance to you. ”
When Tao Xiaoyao heard the word attention, she inexplicably had a bad premonition, and she couldn't help but shudder, "What kind of attention." ”
Yue Lao was suddenly silent, and glanced at Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu received Yue Lao's hint, and reluctantly took a short step, and then a clear and familiar voice resounded in Tao Xiaoyao's mind.
"It will leave you behind and become a fairy in the fairy world, and maybe the title of Biluo Peach Blossom Fairy will be passed on to you. ”
Tao Xiaoyao frowned, this sounds very good, but why do you always feel a little uneasy in the bottom of her heart.
Sure enough, Xiao Jiu's voice sounded again, "However, this has a price. ”
"At what cost?"
"You yourself know, you have the bloodline of the two worlds of immortals and demons, but now the relationship between the two worlds of immortals and demons is extremely bad, like fire and water, and they can't tolerate each other at all, even if the Jade Emperor has the heart to keep you, you have to make some sacrifices, for example, give up the bloodline of the demon world......" Xiao Jiu said in a low voice, obviously he didn't agree with Tao Xiaoyao accepting this condition in his heart, but after all, Tao Xiaoyao has the right to know about this matter, no matter what Tao Xiaoyao's choice is, Xiao Jiu will silently support her.
After all, Tao Xiaoyao is that person's only daughter, the daughter he gave to himself before he died.
Tao Xiaoyao suddenly had a dry mouth.
Wouldn't that be the only thing left of the demon bloodline in the body?
I see, it turns out that she can only stay in the fairy world as a fairy, and nothing else, is this the so-called price?
No wonder, Tao Xiaoyao's ears rang with what the Jade Emperor had said to him before.
"If you had to choose, would you stay where your mother grew up, or where your father lived?"
