Chapter 537: The Past Finally Dissipates
Yun Yuexi continued to look at the bamboo slips, and sure enough, she found the answer in the back.
The young prince slowly grew into an emperor, and with the assistance of the four great families, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the era was prosperous and peaceful.
But as long as it's a human being, there will be **.
What's more, the most noble son of heaven in the world?
So the second emperor, after noticing that his body was slowly aging, began to be obsessed with elixir, hoping to get eternal life.
Therefore, the secrets kept by the four great families at the beginning began to become a hot potato.
If the emperor knew about it, and they concealed it knowing that there was a reincarnation, it would be a crime of deception, and then it would bring disaster to the nine clans.
But if you say it, it will violate the original oath, so the four major families discussed, and the Ruan family, who has the blood of the Wu clan, will return here to find the reincarnated.
They decided that if the reincarnated person still existed, then they would tell the emperor about it, and if the reincarnated person was already dead, then the matter would be stopped.
At that time, the head of the Ruan family was very much in favor of this practice that violated the cycle of heavenly principles, because he believed that people's birth, old age, sickness and death were the way of heaven, and if everyone avoided the way of heaven by reincarnation, wouldn't the whole world be in chaos?
However, the Ruan family, who also bears the responsibility of the family, can only return to the land of the dragon vein with their secret guards for the sake of those innocent lives.
It's just that I didn't expect that at that time, the clansmen who guarded the clan were already very repulsive to outsiders, so when they were hunted down, they actually broke into the real imperial tomb and found the remaining treasures.
The appearance of the treasures of the previous dynasty is undoubtedly a very difficult thing for the Ruan family.
At that time, the people brought were divided into two factions, one faction believed that these treasures should be left to the Ruan family, because the Ruan family found them.
The other faction believes that these treasures should be told to the emperor, because the whole world is not the king's land.
The Ruan family hesitated, and immediately decided to continue to explore inside, and finally found the place where the candle dragon was trapped.
It was at this time that Zun Wu met the head of the Ruan family and told him that the reincarnated person was actually going to sacrifice the person closest to him, and then lead his soul to him in the form of a formation, and then obtain reincarnation.
The Ruan family did not want this method to be passed on, so they reached an agreement with Zun Wu that the Ruan family would keep this secret for generations to ensure that no one would enter the land of the dragon vein within a hundred years, while Zun Wu would let the Guardian family guard this place for generations and never contact outsiders.
The Ruan family, who had reached an agreement, left with someone, and on the way, he had been thinking about how to persuade the other three families to give up the matter.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that after he returned to the capital, he found out that the other three families deliberately broke up and joined forces to usurp the throne and were imprisoned!
And when the Ruan family's family pleaded for intercession, they learned that the heads of the three families were killed on the spot, and no one in this world knew this secret except him!
The emperor and the Ruan family had a secret conversation in the imperial study for two hours, and after returning to the Ruan family, the Ruan family committed suicide, but no one knew that he had actually left a letter to his eldest son before committing suicide.
It was this letter that made the Ruan family the last family to bear the royal secret.
Yun Yuexi saw this, and let out a long sigh of relief, although he didn't know why this Zun Wu knew so clearly about the court here, but presumably the agreement he reached with the Ruan family back then also made him pay attention to the Ruan family.
It's just that I don't know what the emperor said to the Ruan family, and he actually let him commit suicide.
But this also explains why Ruan Qingjun would know the secret of reincarnation.
However, the head of the Ruan family usually tells the next generation of the head of the family this secret before the deadline comes, so did Ruan Qingyun overhear it?
Thinking so, Yun Yuexi didn't have an answer, so she simply continued to read.
The bamboo slips of Zun Wu record the development of the Ruan family over the years, and it is obvious that the arranger has been paying attention to the Ruan family, and the people of the Ruan family are mostly very peaceful people because of the influence of their parents' environment, so they have spent a long time in peace.
And with the help of his own apprentices, Zun Wu has been able to reincarnate and continue his fragile life.
But it all ended with the appearance of Gu Xuan.
Wu Lao is also the only disciple of Zun Wu, because the two of them support each other to be reincarnated, Wu Lao is the only elder who knows that Zun Wu is still alive.
The people in the clan respected Wu Lao very much, and when Wu Lao found out about Gu Lao's child, he was quite excited, and told Zun Wu a lot of Gu Xu's good, so that Zun Wu had the idea of seeing another person other than Wu Lao for the first time.
And it was this idea that cost him his life.
After seeing Zun Wu, Gu Yu found that the Great Elder believed in by the original clan had been alive all along, and he was thirsty for knowledge at the moment.
Zun Wu was in the same mood as Wu Lao, after discovering that Gu Xuan was talented and intelligent, he was very sorry for his talents, and he completely pinned his hopes on Gu Xuan for leading the Guardian Dragon Vein clan to find the descendants of the bloodline of the previous dynasty, and he did not expect that Gu Xu's original purpose was not for the so-called clansmen at all, but his eternal life.
Therefore, when Zun Wu found out that Gu Yu was secretly stealing the blood of the candle dragon and privately wooing the Dharma Protector, he noticed that something was wrong, so the two sides fought, and finally Gu Yu snatched the medicine recipe and those swords, and Zun Wu was seriously injured in order to protect the reincarnated Wu Lao.
Wu Lao's reincarnation failed, but Zun Wu gave him a secret medicine that could extend his life, but Zun Wu lost the opportunity to continue his reincarnation, so he wrote down all the things over the years here, and finally sat down here.
Yun Yuexi closed the bamboo slip and didn't speak for a long time, until the candle dragon gently rubbed her face, she touched the candle dragon's head and said, "The reason why you swallowed Liao Fan is because he has Gu Xu's bloodline on his body?" ”
The candle dragon whimpered twice, as if agreeing with Yun Yuexi's words.
"But I can't leave you here." Yun Yuexi sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Candle Dragon, you get out of here, if you continue to stay here, those people will still covet your blood, so find a safe place for yourself and hide well." ”
The bamboo slip records that the candle dragon is the closest snake to the dragon in ancient times, so its blood has the effect of prolonging life, and the big candle dragon was actually dead when it was sealed by the seven or eight swords, but the soul was bound by the formation and could not be freed for a long time.
The so-called hot spring water is not a natural hot spring at all, but a secret medicine specially developed by the Guardian Dragon Vein Clan, which can keep the body of the candle dragon alive forever, but only the blood of the Wu Clan's bloodline cannot be encountered, otherwise it will completely dissipate.
And the candle dragon in front of Yun Yuexi is actually a pair of the dissipated candle dragon, these people deliberately created the illusion that the other candle dragon was not dead in order to leave it, if it wasn't for the time when she suddenly woke up to save Yun Yuexi and was discovered by Gu Yu, Gu Yu would not have thought of the relationship.
Yun Yuexi's words obviously touched Candle Dragon's mind, Candle Dragon rubbed her with his chin, then gently rolled her up, turned his head and prepared to leave, but heard Yun Yuexi shouting from behind: "Wait a minute!" ”
The candle dragon turned his head to look at Yun Yuexi, only to see that Yun Yuexi took out the fire fold and burned all those bamboo slips, and then kowtowed three times to Zun Wu, and then burned his body as well.
"These things are not supposed to exist in the world." Yun Yuexi raised her head and smiled slightly: "As long as no one knows about this anymore, then no one will arrest you anymore, so that after you leave, no one will bother you, and you will be good in the future......"
The candle dragon seemed to be moved, and slowly circled around Yun Yuexi a few times, and then gently rolled her up and took her out of here.
When the candle dragon took Yun Yuexi back to the place where Ouyang Haoxuan and them were, they found that the ground was covered with blood, and there were traces of fighting everywhere, Yun Yuexi was taken aback, jumped off the candle dragon and walked quickly to the corpses to check, most of them were the secret guards brought by Ruan Qingyun, but a few were also people from the dark pavilion.
Yun Yuexi's mind sank, and before she could get up, she suddenly shook the mountain, obviously not knowing where the collapse occurred.
But then there was a series of reactions, and rubble began to fall everywhere, and the whole cave was crumbling, as if it would collapse at any moment, and the candle dragon immediately fled with Yun Yuexi.
"Take me to Haoxuan and them!" Yun Yuexi dodged the gravel and shouted at the candle dragon, "You should be able to smell him, right?" ”
The candle dragon didn't respond, just swam forward with all his heart, the speed was fast, but it was still not as fast as the falling speed of those gravel, Yun Yuexi only felt that the passage behind her seemed to collapse as if chasing them, so that she always had a thought that she would be buried here.
I don't know how long I have been wandering, until Yun Yuexi saw the sun, I found that I had gone out of the tunnel, and the sound of swords intersecting faintly came in the distance.
"Haoxuan!" Far away, Yun Yuexi still saw Ouyang Haoxuan's figure at a glance, and couldn't help but raise her voice and shout.
When Ouyang Haoxuan and the others heard this, they all turned their heads in surprise, "Xi'er! ”
Because of this distraction, Mr. Qu opposite Ouyang Haoxuan actually took the opportunity to stab him with a sword, Ouyang Haoxuan didn't dodge, seeing that the sword stabbed into his shoulder, he quickly blocked it.
At this time, Yun Yuexi had already run over quickly and held Ouyang Haoxuan, while Ouyang Yunsu, Ouyang Yunhua and others had also rushed over and protected them behind them, and the two sides confronted each other for a while.
"Mr. Qu, you're too inauthentic!" Yun Yuexi quickly drugged Ouyang Haoxuan, and at the same time glanced at Mr. Qu coldly and said, "I solved Liao Fan according to what you said at the beginning, why are you planning to avenge Liao Fan for your master now?" Mr. Qu is so rebellious, isn't he afraid that I will announce to the world what we said at the beginning? ”
