Chapter 236: Endgame (9)
At the bottom of Tianshui Lake, the Nine Heavens Shrine.
For a whole day and a night, Xiang Rong changed Yi'er's eyes, and everything went very smoothly. It was only when Yi'er, whose eyes were covered with a white cloth and fell asleep, was brought out that Han Xiao and Han Xi, who had been waiting outside the door for a day and a night, breathed a sigh of relief. Xiang Rong told Han Xiao some things that needed attention, and Han Xiao nodded again and again, full of gratitude. Since her death, she has been guarding her memories wholeheartedly. Seeing that Yi'er was fine, a hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
Another day passed, and Yi'er woke up. Although he still needs to bandage his eyes and can't see for the time being, he is in good spirits. Han Xiao accompanied Yi'er to eat something, and then handed him over to Lixiang to take care of, and went straight to Hanxi.
At that time, Han Xi was studying the matter of unlocking the seal with the passing of the sky. Situ Xi has been imprisoned by them in the deepest water prison at the bottom of the lake, and he can no longer make waves. The two discussed and decided to rescue the frozen clan when the moon was full three days later, when the seal was relatively weak.
Han Xiao lifted the hem of her skirt and walked over slowly. Leaving the sky and looking up at her, he knew that the two sisters had something to say to each other, so he left with a sense of humor.
There are only two people left in the palace, Han Xi and Han Xiao. Six or seven days have passed since Han Xi and Tang Bujing returned to the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. On weekdays, the two sisters also see each other every day, but they rarely speak. Even when they were guarding Yi'er together, there was more silence between them. The sisters, who were originally close and talkative, eventually drifted apart because of three years of hurt and strife.
In the end, it was Han Xi who broke the deadlock, got up and asked, "My sister came to me, is there something wrong?" ”
"Xi'er ......" Hanxiao got rid of the demons in her heart, and changed back to her former gentle and introverted nature. It's just that thinking about what she has done and the mistakes she has made in the past three years, she doesn't know how to face her sister. Her hand twisted the skirt a little unnaturally, and she whispered, "Xi'er, thank you." ”
Han Xi looked at Han Xiao silently. It's been three years, and they can finally talk together without having to go toe-to-toe. Han Xiao has lost a lot of weight, and her spirit is not very good. And the death hit her so hard that her whole world collapsed. What is standing in front of him now is just an empty shell that is trying to survive for the sake of Yi'er. Thinking like this, Hanxi's heart softened a lot, and his expression softened. She shook her head and said, "Sister and me, do you still have to be so polite?" ”
"I know I've done a lot of things wrong; There are many consequences that I cannot bear and undo. Han Xiao lowered her eyes, not wanting Han Xi to see the tears and weakness that slowly grew in her eyes, "But Xi'er, thank you for helping me." You helped me heal Yi'er's eyes, helped me bury him, and fulfilled his wishes. Thank you, and be willing to admit that my sister ......."
Han Xi sighed, stepped forward and hugged Han Xiao tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "Actually, we are not good enough. But the good thing is that we are still sisters, and we are still the closest people to each other. Sister, that's enough. ”
Han Xiao hugged Han Xi with her backhand, and finally couldn't hold back her tears: "Well, we are the closest people......
Three days later, the day finally came to lift the seal. Because there are many clansmen who are frozen in ice, and the magic of the ice sealing technique that condenses all the power of Nangong Shu is powerful, it needs to be lifted by everyone's joint efforts. Han Xi, Han Xiao, Litian, Mrs. Tears, Lixiang and Mrs. Mu each stood in a corner, enclosing the huge icicles. Hanxi took a deep breath and nodded lightly to the other five. Several people immediately understood, and chanted the ancient incantation together.
Colorful glows emanated from the bodies of the six of them, flying towards the icicle in the center. The six-colored light converged, forming a huge light curtain in mid-air, gradually enveloping the icicles. Tang Buzhen stood not far away, watching the cold tide gradually fly, her hair and robe dancing without wind, and the brilliant purple glow continued to gather from her body, and then flew above the icicles. After twenty years, the solid ice finally began to melt. The sound of water dissolving bit by bit, like the sound of life revival, is particularly pleasant. The Nangong clansmen who were frozen gradually woke up and looked at their relatives and friends in surprise. The Nine Heavens Divine Palace, which had been silent for so many years, finally resounded with cheers. What a celebration it is to be reborn of a tribe after the Great Tribulation!
After the resuscitated clansmen have returned to their pre-frozen lives, it is finally time for Hanxi to make his own choice. People heard about her efforts and sacrifices for the Nangong clan over the years, and they followed her and swore allegiance to her, and Han Xi seemed to be the new master of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. Early in the morning, Hanxi was waited on by two maids, changed into a long aqua blue dress, and her long hair was combed into a bun like a flowing cloud. She wears dragon-style jewelry around her neck and arms, and her hair is decorated with pearls, tourmalines, beads and other hair accessories, and the whole person looks noble and elegant.
All the people in the Nine Heavens Shrine gathered in the square outside the temple, waiting to worship their new patriarch. Tang Bujing and Han Xiao were also among them, staring intently at the woman walking up the white marble stairs. The gorgeous and delicate blue dress is very suitable for the beautiful and graceful cold tide, the style of the skirt is simple and generous, and the material is the best shark silk, the bright light flows, and the distance looks like the wind and waves are still rippling on the sparkling water. Han Xi's face was calm, and he walked step by step to the center of the temple door. Everyone couldn't help but bow down, the sound of worship came and went, and people shouted from the bottom of their hearts: "The palace master is blessed with Jin'an, thousands of generations!" ”
Han Xi raised his hands towards everyone, and Qing Ling's voice echoed throughout the temple: "Everyone, please get up!" ”
Looking at Han Xi's graceful bearing and extraordinary demeanor, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Xi'er really did a good job, as if she was born to be followed by the world, and she was born to be a king." ”
Tang Bu was shocked and just smiled, but his eyes refused to leave the cold tide for a moment. He knew that Hanxi had to make a choice today, whether to take on the responsibility of a clan on her shoulders, or to live the life she wanted. She always knew what she wanted, and no matter what Hanxi chosen, he would support her.
Han Xi cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, our Nangong clan has finally been reborn today after twenty years of hardships. My father sacrificed himself to protect his people. Fortunately, his sacrifice was not in vain, in exchange for the continuation of the bloodline of one of our clans. I know that the most urgent hope in your hearts now is to have a Ming Monarch like my father to protect the Nine Heavens Divine Palace. I also know that because I have been fighting for my people recently, the choice in many people's hearts is me. But I don't think I'm qualified for this position, on the contrary, I have a candidate here, whether it is spiritual power, bloodline, or temperament and morality in the future, he is more suitable than me to sit in this position. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but look at each other suspiciously. As far as they knew, now apart from Han Xi and Han Xiao, there is no blood or blood of the previous palace master. Hanxi smiled slightly, turned around and beckoned to one of the shadows in the temple. A moment later, a pink-carved child walked out of the hall, it was Yi'er. His eyes could already see, Xu didn't expect that there would be so many people outside, and everyone's eyes were on him, Yi'er was a little timid. But then he straightened his little spine again, and walked towards the cold tide step by step.
Hanxi smiled and beckoned to Yi'er, who walked over and took Hanxi's hand. Hanxi said again: "Yi'er is the son of my sister Nangong Hanxiao, and the grandson of my father. His father is also from my Nangong clan, and he sacrificed himself to save us. Yi'er's bloodline is undoubtedly noble and incomparable. What's more, he is the master of life recognized by the Rolling Spring, and although the Xuanbing Sword is now in my hands, I will soon recognize him as the master. Before today, his surname was Situ; But from now on, he was re-named Nangong's surname. I have already decided to appoint Nangong Yi as the new generation of palace masters of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace! ”
"However, Yi'er is still young, how can she preside over the overall situation?" Standing closest to the cold tide, after listening to the cold tide's words, he couldn't help but ask.
Han Xi's gaze fell on Han Xiao, and he said solemnly: "Yi'er is still young, so naturally she can't be qualified for the position of palace master alone. But he also has a mother who can assist him, and my sister Nangong Hanxiao will help him with affairs until he becomes an adult. As she spoke, she called, "Nangong Hanxiao obeys orders." ”
Han Xiao took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Here." ”
Hanxi continued: "From today onwards, I will appoint you to assist Yi'er until he can become independent. You must do your best to help him and work with him to protect the whole tribe. You've made mistakes before, and this is your only chance to atone for your sins. I only hope that you will remember the promise you made to Brother Rong at that time, and live up to the trust he placed in him before his death. ”
Han Xiao nodded slowly and seriously: "In this life, I, Nangong Hanxiao, will never leave the Nine Heavens Divine Palace for half a step." I will always guard Yi'er and my people until the end of my life! ”
"Good!" Han Xi smiled with satisfaction, and leaned over to ask Yi'er, "Nangong Yi, are you willing to shoulder the trust of the entire clan, do your duty for them, and be the best palace master?" ”
Yi'er's small face condensed an extraordinarily serious look, and he nodded heavily: "Well, Yi'er is willing!" ”
The next moment, the entire Nine Heavens Divine Palace was boiling! Everyone bowed down and chanted the name of their new palace master. Nangong Yi, this name that is about to lead their Nangong clan back to glory and top, will be deeply remembered by every clansman!
After the ceremony, everyone went to the main hall to make a toast. Only the cold tide pulled Tang Bu to be surprised, and sat in the glazed palace together, looking at the colorful water world outside through the crystal clear glazed roof. They sat side by side, their heads against each other, just like Lian Yan and Nangong Shu many years ago.
"Xi'er," Tang Bu was shocked to smell the fragrance of the cold tide, and said, "I really didn't expect that you would make such a choice today." ”
Han Xi "giggled", and said half-seriously and half-jokingly: "What, do you think that I will inherit the position of palace master?" Actually, my temperament is not suitable to be the head of a clan, and I have already done what I need to do as a father's daughter by helping my clan lift the ice. The rest of the time, I should do something I love and love the person I want to love......"
"Heh, then, is that person me?" Tang Bu straightened up, stared at Han Xi's eyes seriously, and asked.
Han Xi just smiled, and after a long time, she said: "I don't know if the magnolia courtyard has been left unattended for so long, are the flowers and plants inside okay?" Don't be surprised, I think your skills in serving flowers and plants are not bad. Why don't you stay by my side and take care of the Magnolia Courtyard for me? ”
"Hmm......" Tang Bu narrowed his narrow and beautiful eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips was enough to drown all the women in the world. He thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's okay, it's just that my salary is not something that ordinary people can easily pay." If you want to hire me, you have to spend the rest of your life by my side, and I will stick to you for the rest of your life......"
Finish. (To be continued.) )
