Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Night of the Heavenly Steps is as cold as water
The top of Kunlun Mountain is not far away, and Yueming and Yun Wangwu glanced at each other, and they both had a sense of relief.
It's been a thrilling journey, and I still have palpitations when I think about it now.
On that day, the two of them went to the retreat of the wind with the proprietress of Bliss.
Just like that day, Yueming followed the proprietress out through the back door of the Bliss Building and walked to a building in the city.
Compared with the Bliss Building, it is much more restrained, quiet, the exterior wall is made of metal, flashing with a faint cold light, and the inner scene is deep and difficult to guess.
However, on the front door is written "Fengyue Tower"
, but it does not match the temperament here.
The proprietress sent them to the door and hurried away.
"This place, I've been here."
Yueming said.
"I know."
Yun Wangwu looked up at Fengyue Tower, and said lightly as if casually.
Yueming looked at her: "How do you know?" ”
Yun Wangwu withdrew his gaze, but did not answer her question.
At this time, the door slowly opened, but there was no one.
Yueming looked inside, but she couldn't even see a ghost.
The two walked in, and Yueming recalled that the last time they came, although the lights were not bright, there were faint lights on everywhere here.
Now it was pitch black, as if it were an empty house.
"You're here."
A woman's voice suddenly rang out.
"Sister Feng, long time no see, come out quickly."
Yun Wangwu said.
"Hahaha, Sister Yun, I've been so lonely all these years, you finally came to accompany me."
There is still only the sound of the wind worrying, but there is no human figure.
"The wind is worry-free, you come out."
Yueming said coldly.
"It's you, it's good to be here."
Feng Wuwu said.
Yun Wangwu looked at the sky, it was pitch black, the cool air seemed to freeze time, and the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong and shouted, "Hurry up and go back the way you came!" ”
"Hahaha, it's late!"
Feng Wuwu said, "This is the Heavenly Rank Formation, if you can't break this formation, you won't be able to get out, stay here with me forever, hahaha!" ”
"Crazy, she's crazy!"
Yun Wangwu said.
"Let's find a way to break this formation."
Yueming said.
"I know."
Yun Wangwu said.
"You know?"
Yueming asked.
"Originally, I was here to help Elysium break the seal, but now, I have changed my mind,"
Yun Wangwu said, "This is the most critical place in Hua Xu Yin's seal, breaking this formation will break Hua Xu Yin's important curse; If it is forcibly broken, it will be permanently sealed, and then it can only be unlocked by the underworld that originally sealed it. ”
"Hahaha, you're right."
The sound of the wind sounded.
"This is forcing me to break the seal, but I don't like to be forced, the more I force me, the more I have to do it."
Yun Wangwu said.
Yueming frowned, these two sisters are strange personalities, the two of them are willing to consume, she has no opinion, but she is in a hurry to find Xunnian, and she also wants to find Gongsun Xi for revenge.
"I just want to get out right now."
Yueming said.
"Afraid of what? I guess this Feng Wuwu herself is trapped in this formation and can't get out, she definitely doesn't dare to force anything to do anything to this formation. But now it seems that she is very good, and she is still in the mood to play tricks, so we don't need to worry for the time being. ”
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"
Yueming gritted his teeth and said, "I still have to go to find Xunnian, and I have to kill Gongsun Xi." ”
Yun Wangwu looked at her and suddenly sneered: "Kill the young emperor? Why? ”
"I know everything,"
Yueming's voice was very low, "He killed Xun Nian and Scarlet Spirit." ”
"You know everything?"
Yun Wang's voice smacked of mockery, "You don't know anything! Sometimes I really feel worthless for the young emperor. ”
"What did you say?"
Yueming was a little surprised, "Then what do you know?" ”
Yun Wangwu narrowed his eyes and said, "Originally, I wanted to follow the young emperor's wishes and not tell you these things. But I really can't stand it anymore. You even said you were going to kill him, to a man who was so attentive to you? ”
Yueming was stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"The young emperor has been practicing on Laoshan since he was a child, so that he can become a better human emperor in the future,"
Yun Wangwu said, "Actually, there is another point, which is to avoid some battles in the palace. ”
The human emperor died suddenly a few years ago, so the young emperor Gongsun Xi, who was practicing in Laoshan Mountain, had to return to the imperial capital.
But at that time, there was already chaos in the imperial city, and there was even more open and secret fighting in the palace.
The young emperor did not really hold power during the two years he was in the palace, and he could not ascend the throne without an edict.
All the forces stood in his way at this time, but one man stepped forward.
This person is Gongsun Jin, the younger brother of the deceased emperor.
Gongsun Jin used to stay at home, and very few people saw him.
But at this time, he suddenly appeared, and with the emperor's edict in his hand, he became the regent by virtue of the edict.
The regent sent the young emperor back to Laoshan on the grounds that the palace was still unstable, and promised to ask the young emperor to return to the palace to officially take over the throne when he calmed down the chaos.
The young emperor was not keen on power, but he didn't care about these things because of the Qing Xiu who had been on Laoshan since he was a child, so he returned to Laoshan on his own.
Strange to say, after the appearance of the regent, the chaos in the palace gradually subsided, and the regent's power quickly became stronger, but he did not want to invite the young emperor back for a long time.
In fact, there are four auxiliary ministers around the young emperor, and behind these four people are the four auxiliary ministers family Dongfang, Nangong, Xiling, and Beiyin.
The auxiliary ministers of these four major families all suspected the regent's intentions, and there was no power to contend with, so they chose to retire to the court, preserve their strength, and secretly sent people to Laoshan to invite the young emperor back.
But the young emperor was reluctant to go back and kept delaying.
The people of the four great families were secretly protecting him.
The power of the regent is getting bigger and bigger, and he is already the nominal regent and the actual human emperor, which makes the four major families very worried.
After the four major families retired to the court, the regent also cultivated his henchmen Situ, Sima, Sikong, and Shangguan by his side, which were used by him.
"The young emperor doesn't want others to know his true identity,"
Yun Wangwu said, "He is afraid that after you know about it, you will get farther and farther away from him." Our men only dare to protect him in secret. Later they had to show up. After you ran out of the hole, did you ever wonder what happened to the young emperor? ”
That day, Yueming ran out of the hole to chase the memory of having turned into a white cat and lost his memory.
At that time, the guards who had been in the dark couldn't help but go into the cave to look, and found that the young emperor was seriously injured and semi-unconscious, so they quickly brought the young emperor back to see Yun and forget his worries.
"So those people aren't here to hunt down Scarlet Spirit?"
Yueming said thoughtfully.
"Of course not,"
Yun Wangwu said, "Her matter is a long story, and I will tell you slowly in the future." ”
The Young Emperor was taken back to the ship where they were secretly hiding, and after treating him, Yun Wangwu was shocked to find that the internal organs in his body had been eaten by Yan Zhan, and his breath was dying.
"He's seriously injured? Why is this happening? ”
Yueming said half-incredulously.
Yun Wang's worries didn't come anywhere: "It's not for the search that saved you!" Is this soul-changing thing so easy to do? You should know that if you use a high-level spell, but you can't do it yourself, you will backfire. He's holding on hard in front of you! ”
"How do you know this?"
Yueming looked at the clouds and forgot his worries.
"After the young emperor came back, he didn't say a word, in order to know the reason why he was counterattacked, and to prescribe the right medicine, I read his memories when he was unconscious."
Yun Wangwu said.
"So I know that his body is no longer able to recover from heaven, and he can only rely on external objects."
"Foreign?"
Yueming asked.
