Chapter 469 Coming and Going Ethereal 38
.
Zu Long actually cried, which Su Qianxun never expected, and he was not in a hurry. After all, for thousands of days and nights, Zu Long was a loving father in Su Qianxun's heart, and he was also a person who stood up to the heavens and the earth, and the word crying simply did not exist for Zu Long. But now Zulong saw Su Qianxun wake up, and when he landed, he burst into tears like a child, which was really a shock to Shi Kai.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Su Qianxun was lying on the bed, her face was a little haggard, and she looked weak.
"Chihiro, it's okay for my father! Recuperate, and everything will be fine! Zu Long sat on the edge of the bed and helped Su Qianxun pull up the futon, his expression gloomy and sad, as if there was a story hidden in his heart.
"Father, how is the whereabouts of the demon bead now?" Su Qianxun thought that Zulong was injured by the matter of the demon bead, so he hurriedly asked.
"Chihiro, don't worry, although the demon bead has not been found, but my father has already repaired the book to the rest of the eleven demon kings again, I believe that this time, they will definitely come to help."
Zu Long's words are actually false, mainly because he wants Su Qianxun to stop worrying about this matter. After all, since the disappearance of the demon bead more than 10,000 years ago, the demon kings of all walks of life have become on the same footing, fighting openly and secretly, all of them are endless, and they are like a plate of scattered sand, otherwise the two demon clans would not have attacked so rampantly.
However, as for why Zu Long wanted to deceive Su Qianhiro like this, it was actually because there was another secret in it, and it had to start from many, many years ago......
~~~
It was one of the most powerful and prosperous kingdoms in the mortal world, and people called it the 'Wind Country'. Under his leadership, the Wind Country was invincible, and in just a few decades, Kyushu was unified and became the only supreme king in the mortal world. Here, the wind country is all over the world, the people can be happy, and everything is peaceful and prosperous.
But at this time, suddenly, the king of people suddenly got an incurable strange disease. First, there was a black hard spot the size of a fingernail on the back of his hand, which seemed to be fish scales and snake scales, in short, it was very strange, and no one could say it specifically.
At the beginning, Yan Yan didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was due to hard work, or because of old age, and he didn't think it was a big deal. But what everyone never expected was that after a long time, the black scales on the back of Yan Yan's hand became more and more numerous, and in just a few months, his entire hand was completely occupied by this black scale, and even ...... It even began to spread to him.
At the moment of this incident, the flames were horrified, and they hurriedly summoned all the gods and doctors in the world to treat each other. Unexpectedly, not only was this disease not cured, but because of the variety of drugs he ate, his body was not as good as day by day, and his essence was greatly damaged, and even the black scales were spreading and growing faster on his body.
In the end, Yan Yan's body was covered with this kind of black scales, and his appearance became extremely ugly, not to mention, it didn't look ordinary scary, even those maidservants and attendants would be scared half to death when they saw it. Therefore, in desperation, Yan Yan had to hide in the palace all day long, and did not see anyone coming.
Three years later, at noon one day, an old man like a fairy suddenly flew into the imperial palace, saying that he came from the sky and was an immortal who had practiced for thousands of years. And said that he came this time because he was passing by occasionally, observing the heavenly phenomena and being in trouble, so he came to the rescue.
Hearing this, Yan Yan quickly sent someone to greet him, and after talking to him, this hexagram real person used a wonderful technique to save him, and in less than half a day, Yan Yan not only faded away the black scales on his body, but even the weakened body returned to normal, which is amazing.
Afterwards, Yan Yan was overjoyed and said that he wanted to reward a real person, but the real person refused, and after leaving a strange box, he waved away, and let Yan Yan send someone to find it, but he didn't find anything.
On the contrary, it was the box left by the real person of this hexagram that completely aroused Yan's curiosity, causing him to wonder what was in this box all the time. It's just that what's even more strange than this is that the Wind Country can also be said to be full of strange people, but everyone is helpless against this box, no matter how you get it, you just can't open it.
Until, a certain day and a certain night in a certain year......
Suddenly, Yan Yan had a strange dream, a very strange and strange dream. In the dream, Yan Yan came to a place surrounded by snow white and could not see the edge, he couldn't help but walk forward, and he didn't know how long he walked, and suddenly a coffin appeared in front of his eyes, a huge bronze ancient coffin.
He stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the carved prints on the bronze coffin were extremely strange, like some kind of writing, but also like some kind of symbolic incantation. What's even more incredible is that these things he doesn't know at all, but there is a vague sense of déjà vu, as if he has seen them somewhere, but he can't remember them at all.
Curious, Yan Yan wanted to push the bronze coffin open and see what was inside. Unexpectedly, at this time, suddenly, a real person appeared......
~~~
He was like a gust of wind, quietly appearing in front of Yan Yan. And Yan Yan saw that even if he disregarded his status as a monarch and emperor, he walked in front of a real person, he was grateful for his life-saving grace in the past.
Yigua Zhenren smiled, but asked: "The box left by the old man to you, do you understand the true meaning?" ”
"Back to the real person, forgive me for being stupid, I haven't understood it yet!" Yan Yan said truthfully.
"Then the old man asked you, do you want to live forever?"
"Immortality?"
Hearing these two words, Yan Yan was instantly stunned. Because since the Heavenly Attack sealed the Seven Paths, most of the previous immortal cultivators have disappeared, and the one or two left behind are only the end of the strong crossbow, and they know very little about the real secret method of cultivating immortals, and they are even crooked and heretical, not the true law.
And when it is the Yan of the mortal king, he naturally wants to reach immortality through immortal cultivation, but now the world does not allow it, and immortal cultivation is already a cloud of the past, let alone immortality. Therefore, Yan Yan had no choice but to give up and cultivate immortals.
However, giving up is giving up, but it is a dream of eternal life, but the flame has never changed in the slightest. So, secretly, he sent people around to find the art of immortality, or immortal cultivators who knew the true method of cultivating immortals.
Unexpectedly, after decades, everything fell through in the end, either to find a fake way, or to find some charlatan deceitful warlocks. For the dream of immortality, there is still no trace of the thread.
Therefore, now, when Yan Yan heard a real person ask him if he wanted to live forever, he was both suspicious and surprised, as well as happy and mixed, which can be described as extremely complicated. After all, all the liars he had met before were liars, but now, he was a real person who had saved his life before.
So......
"Don't hide it from the real person, everyone has the dream of immortality, and I am no exception, not to mention that I am the emperor of the Wind Country, so I naturally want to live forever and unify Kyushu for all generations."
Yan Yan didn't lie when he said this, he also knew that he didn't need to tell a lie, or he couldn't and didn't dare to say a lie. Because he has seen the skills of a real person, he knows that if he is smart, then in the end it may outweigh the losses. Therefore, instead of deceiving each other with rhetoric, it is better to tell the truth.
Also, after hearing his words, Yigua Zhenren couldn't help but stroke his white beard and nodded, as if he was very satisfied. Then he opened his mouth again, and said, "Since you have the heart of immortality, the old man can help you, but ......."
A hexagram real person deliberately only said half of the words, and the intention of his actions was to arouse Yan Yan's deeper curiosity.
"Just what?" Yan was fooled and hurriedly asked.
"It's very simple, you have to do one thing for the old man!"
"As long as I can attain immortality, I will promise a true person no matter what!"
"Good!" A hexagram real person smiled with satisfaction, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the bronze ancient coffin in front of him, and said, "You go over and open this coffin first!" ”
Yan Yan didn't hesitate at all, turned around and walked closer, and used his strength to open the lid of this bronze ancient coffin. Suddenly, I looked inside, and saw a baby girl in swaddling clothes, who was lying in it sleeping soundly at this time.
"Real person, this is ......" Yan Yan was horrified, never expecting that it would be a baby lying inside.
"Don't panic!" Yigua Zhenren was very calm, still stroking his white beard, and said unhurriedly: "In the box left by the old man before, there are two pills, as long as you take it, you can live forever." However, you can only take one, and the other you have to give to your wife. ”
"Don't worry, my wife has been with me all these years from birth and death, and she will never give up, even if the real person doesn't say it, I will definitely give her this elixir of immortality." Yan Yan is very honest and does not lie half-heartedly.
"Hmmm! Very good! Yigua Zhenren nodded with satisfaction again, and after another pause, he continued: "The thing that the old man wants you to help with is to raise the child in the bronze ancient coffin for the old man!" ”
"Don't hide it from the real person, my wife and I have had no children and no daughters under our knees for so many years, which is the biggest regret in my heart. But now, my wife and I not only have gained immortality, but also are happy to have such a child, which is really a great blessing, a great blessing! Yan Yan was extremely happy and happy, stretched out his hand to hug the baby in the bronze coffin, and said, "So please rest assured, my wife and I will definitely take care of this child." ”
"Good! Since you are the master, then the old man might as well tell you one more thing. Yigua Zhenren's expression suddenly became serious.
"Real person, please speak!"
"The unification of Kyushu benefits from the seven great seals, but one day, there will be a resurgence of war." After a hexagram, he said: "The old man can protect you for 800 years, but today, 800 years later, if you want to continue to live forever, then you have to abandon your people of the Wind Country and leave with your wife and her family." If you don't, it's not just you, but you and your wife who will die. ”
"Real people, why is that?" Yan Yan was puzzled.
"Heaven and earth are the same, how can they still peep? If all beings are uneven, why are they afraid of immortals? Everything in the world is changing! If you think about 800 years, it's enough for you to understand the true meaning! "A hexagram real person said this Shinto, and he was very confused when he heard it. Turning, I heard him tell me again: "Remember, eight hundred years, if you haven't left the Wind Country today, eight hundred years later, then the immortality you have been looking for will become a dream!" ”
At this point, it is already extinct, and after that, a real person will turn into a wisp of green smoke and disappear into the white realm around it.
Immediately, when it was almost dawn, Yan Yan woke up from a big dream. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly got out of bed, and went to the palace with the support of a group of attendants, and took out the strange box that he had not been able to open before, trying to confirm whether what he had encountered in his dream was indeed true. Unexpectedly, this time he made no effort, and suddenly, the box opened by itself. And when I looked at it, it was indeed as the real person in the dream said, there were really two golden elixirs in the box.
At this time, Yan Yan was overjoyed with these two elixirs in his hands, and suddenly, someone outside the house came and said: "Emperor Qiqi, there is good news in the harem, saying that the emperor is happy!" ”
"Happy?"
Yan Yan was overjoyed after hearing this, and when he thought about the things in his dream, he suddenly understood everything. Therefore, even as said in the dream, the two elixirs of immortality were taken separately with the emperor and queen. As a result, the whole country celebrated, and the singing and dancing leveled for more than a month.
Celebration Banquet......
"Your Majesty, how can you be so sure that Concubine Qing is pregnant with a girl?"
The emperor and queen are Ji's, and the name is unknown. I only heard that this person can also be described as a heroine among women, when Yan Yan was on the rise, Ji helped a lot, not to mention the birth and death of Yan Yan, the meeting between the two of them, knowing each other and falling in love, is a good story. It's just that time has passed, and few people remember it.
So when Yan Yan heard Ji's question, he didn't hide it, and told her everything he saw and encountered in his dreams. After speaking, Ji was naturally very happy for Yan Yan, and took advantage of this interest to say:
"Emperor, since the daughter in the womb of the concubine is given by a real person, how about the emperor choose a name for our daughter first?"
"Yes, yes, Madame has a point!" Yan Yan was very happy, and thought about it: "But madam, what name do you say should I choose?" ”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qing thinks that since you and I have attained immortality, and Concubine Qing is pregnant with a woman rather than a man, so there is no longer a need to worry about the position of the emperor, so ......" After a pause, Ji said: "So the emperor, why don't we let the name of our daughter follow the emperor's surname?" ”
'Yan', in fact, is not the real surname of Yan Yan, before the rise of the emperor and the unification of Kyushu, Yan Yan's original surname is Su, called Su. Later, when the momentum rose, he felt that this surname was too feminine, not domineering enough, and did not meet the needs of the momentum at that time, so he gave himself a different surname Yan, called Yan, and has been staying until now.
And now, the reason why the Empress Ji proposed to return to her original surname as Su was because she felt that if her daughter's surname was Yan, it would be somewhat uncomfortable, and it would be better to have a Su surname.
Yan Yan felt very good about this proposal, so he agreed, and said: "Madame's proposal is very right, anyway, you and I have already gained immortality, and we don't need our children to fight and kill in the future." Besides, my surname, how can I forget it? Therefore, according to the words of the lady, let our daughter have a plain surname. ”
"Then Emperor, you can think of a good name for our daughter!"
"Hahaha...... Madam, immortality has vested, and the country has existed for 800 years, and there are no regrets. Yan Yan suddenly laughed happily and said: "But over the years, my wife has followed me to endure hardships and hardships, and even starved for food, and I feel ashamed when I think about it. Looking back at the past, when I was sent to the frontier for the crime of being a dead slave, Madame, you ignored your hard work and traveled thousands of miles to find it, which was a moving thing. I wanted this story to be passed on and told to our daughter in the future, so Madame, our daughter was named ...... How is Su Chihiro? ”
Everything, get started!
