Volume 2 The Journey Chapter 100 The Appearance of the Old Country
Yao Yao left Wuji Mountain in one horse, crossed the mountains and mountains alone, and arrived at Kaicheng, the royal capital of the former Cangyue Kingdom, in a few days.
This is the place where she spent her happy childhood with a golden key without worrying about food and clothing, and still has lingering memories in her dreams.
From the moment she hid in the rubble and saw her parents lying in a pool of blood, Yao Yao felt that she had grown up, even though she was only 7 years old at that time.
Many times, people's growth does not lie in age, parents are there, life still has a place to come, parents go, life is only the way back.
Thinking of this, Yao Yao couldn't help but look north, and hatred and anger burst out in her eyes. There is a demon's lair, and one day, I will drive a long car and step through Helan Mountain!
It's been ten years, and the painful memories of my childhood are vivid.
How long is a decade?
Looking at the place that was once so familiar, it was full of ruins, broken walls, mourning everywhere, where the west wind rose, and the crows sounded. In just ten years, the city has become thicketed, the leaves are desolate, the vines are crawling all over the blocks, the bird's nest is crooked in the treetops, and the weeds and plants everywhere have become the masters of this once noisy city with their tenacious vitality.
Maybe it was because the bloody crime was too tragic back then, or maybe it was because it was indeed a bit remote, and since the slaughter of Cangyue Country, there have been no groups of residents moving here, and it has become a vast and deserted suburb with no one in the four wilds.
Yao Yao looked around and saw a pillar of optimus in the weeds, as if it was a tall palace pillar, standing there alone, declaring the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this place.
I vaguely remember that there is the Donghua Hall where the queen mother lives, and in front of the huge stone pillar is a large garden, where is the place where I live a small life, and there seems to be the shadow of my mother under the pillar, looking at my beloved daughter lovingly in the afterglow, letting the maid in the palace slowly push the swing under the buttocks of her favorite young girl, and the immature and joyful laughter is sprinkled throughout the palace.
Suddenly there was a distant chirping of geese in the sky, which woke Yao Yao up from her drunken memories, she looked up and saw a line of geese lined up in a herringbone queue in the sky, slowly flying to the south.
There is no one here, how can there be smoke?
Yao Yao was a little puzzled, and looked in the direction where the lonely smoke appeared, and saw a dense jungle hill, and it was there that a faint cloud of smoke floated out.
Yao Yao suddenly felt a shock in her heart: Ah, that is the tomb that Uncle Tang built for his father and mother when he took him away......
Could it be that someone is there to pay respects?
I just don't know what day it is? Could it be that today is such a coincidence, it is actually the death day of my parents!
Yao Yao's heart shook violently, her body floated up with the wind like a light leaf, and she floated up the hill silently in just a few breaths, and then was surprised to see that a slender figure was kneeling in front of her parents' graves burning paper money.
Who is this man?
She looked like a woman, she looked to be in her thirties, but my relatives, all my brothers and sisters, had been killed in that catastrophe, so how could anyone pay their respects at the graves of my parents?
Yao Yao came silently, no one noticed this person at all, she was obviously not a cultivator, and was about to ask, but she heard her muttering: "King and Queen, rest in peace!" Shuang'er has heard that the little princess Yao is still in the world, she has already worshiped under the gate of the Wuji Palace, and now she is seventeen years old, she looks more beautiful than the most colorful flowers, and is more noble than the white clouds on the horizon. ”
"Queen, after all these years of visiting, the slave found that it was a huge conspiracy to destroy our Cangyue Kingdom back then, and I am afraid that it will be deeply involved with Yao'er's master. ”
"Even if Yao'er succeeds in her studies, if she wants to avenge the hatred of destroying the country and killing her father and mother, it will be difficult. ”
Yao Yao was shocked when she heard this, a huge conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy is actually related to my master? What is going on? What happened back then is there really something else hidden?
This woman, what does she know?
"The slave has been tossing and turning all these years, and I can't sleep at night, so I want to see Princess Yao, but I am a mortal with a crippled body, and it is too difficult to see her. ”
"If the slave is a little careless, I'm afraid that not only will I not see her face, but I will die without a place to bury!"
"Yao'er was seven years old when she went to Wuji Mountain, so she naturally knew her origin and life experience, and I just hope that she will one day restore her homeland and comfort the spirit of the king and queen in the sky!"
Speaking of this, the woman began to cry softly, hearing her mournful low sob, Yao Yao felt a pain in her heart, remembering the faces of her parents in her memory, and all kinds of past things appeared in front of her, and she couldn't help but "plop" and knelt down on her knees.
"Who?" the man was startled, turned around and grabbed Yao Yao, looked at it for a long time, but shouted loudly: "You... Are you Princess Yao?"
After saying this, her hands couldn't help but tremble slightly, and tears were already rolling on her face, dripping down through the veil.
"I'm Yao Yao, who are you?" Yao Yao cried out mournfully, at this time she had a vague feeling in her heart that this woman must be her old friend, but she couldn't recognize it through a thin veil.
"I'm the female official Shuang'er next to your mother, I'm your Aunt Shuang!"
"It's been ten years, today is the death day of your parents, do you still remember, finally came to worship your parents!"
She gently held Yao Yao's face and looked left and right, her eyes revealing a blazing light of infinite joy.
"Ah, you're Aunt Shuang, Yao'er still remembers! Why, today is my parents' death day! I really don't know. ”
Yes, I remember her, she is the most trusted female envoy around the queen mother, and I vaguely remember that Aunt Shuang was the queen mother's playmate when she was young, and she was also the distant sister of the queen mother.
When I was a child, how many times did I ever coddle her in her arms?
And also... It's a coincidence today, isn't it because my parents have spirits in the sky, so I just happened to come to their graves on this day?
Yao Yao sighed incomparably in her heart, unconsciously used her mental power, and saw that Aunt Shuang's face under the veil was actually pitted, and she couldn't help but be surprised: How can this be? The Aunt Shuang in my memory looks quite similar to the queen mother, but she is a beautiful woman with a face like stars and moon.
What has she been through in the past ten years, and how did she end up like this? How did you survive in the first place?
"Aunt Frost, what's wrong with your face? Are you still alive!"
"I heard what you just said, Aunt Shuang, tell me, what is going on with all this?"
Looking at the loving woman in her eyes, Yao Yao's heart swelled with long-lost family affection, but what Aunt Shuang said just now was so shocking that Yao Yao couldn't help but ask continuously.
"It's been ten years! How many ten years can there be in a person's life? Since you have returned, you should first pay homage to your deceased father and mother, as for... What I just said is just a passing cloud, don't take it to heart. ”
After speaking, even after a veil, he could feel his face darkened, turned around silently, took out two white candles from his arms, lit them, inserted them on the grave, and kowtowed his head "dong dong".
Then, she actually cried: "Sister, your Yao'er has come to see you!"
"Your Majesty, your daughter has come back to see you!
Yao Yao knelt on her knees in front of her parents' graves, the past was as vivid as yesterday, she was already in a very sad mood, but at this moment she was infected by Aunt Shuang's cry, and finally couldn't be strong anymore, she couldn't help but shake her shoulders and cried loudly.
"Father, Queen Mother, Yao'er is back......"
Yao Yao cried for a long time, but Aunt Shuang didn't stop her, nor did she come to comfort her, and let her cry in front of the grave.
The greatest sorrow in life is the loss of both parents at a young age, with nothing to rely on, and when the child has grown up, the parents are only left with a handful of loess, two lonely graves, and the son wants to be filial but the parent is not there.
That being the case, how can you not let her cry enough?
About half an hour later, Yao Yao's crying gradually decreased, but in her spiritual sense, she felt that someone was flying in the clouds and fog not far away, and she was suddenly surprised: Who is this?
"Who is crying here, but Senior Sister Yao?" A clear voice came from the slight west wind, and in a moment, the figure suddenly closed, and a beautiful woman stood in front of her, with a slight breath.
"Senior Sister Wen, why are you here?" It was actually Wen Chan who came, with a dusty face, Yao Yao suddenly opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
"When you broke up in Nanqin, you said that you would come here after returning to the mountain, I thought you should be here these days, but I didn't expect to really meet you, hehe. ”
Seeing Yao Yao's red eyes and blurred tears, Wen Chan couldn't help but laugh softly.
"But, there's a war going on over there, and you... Why did you come here alone?" Yao Yao had a vague understanding in her heart, but she still wanted her senior sister to confirm it herself.
"Alas~~~!Between you and me, there is no need to go around in circles, you know why I came. Wen Chan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and suddenly her smile changed to a sad face.
Yao Yao's heart tightened when she heard this, knowing that her senior sister must have been completely aware of the changes in her master's sect, so she couldn't help but look at her and said, "Senior sister, how is this good?"
As the disciples of Wuji Palace, the two of them were the proud sons of the sky and had an honorable identity, how could they have thought that they would become lost dogs today?
Wen Chan looked at Aunt Shuang beside Yao Yao, and stopped talking, Yao Yao hurriedly said: "She is the palace maid next to my mother, I never thought that she would be lucky not to die, I didn't have time to talk to her about you before I could tell her in detail." ”
"Aunt Shuang is not an outsider, senior sister has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I have come here to make a decision, not only about your life, but also about the entire continent, the whole Qingyin and the whole world. ”
Yao Yao couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Wen Chan say so solemnly, and her heart flashed to know what her senior sister meant, and she couldn't help but say sadly: "Even if the matter of the master is true, the kind of act against the sky is the common enemy of the world, but ......"
"But both of them are from the demon clan, the demon clan and I have the hatred of destroying the country and breaking the family, the hatred of killing the father and the mother, this hatred, this hatred, not the same day, I... I..."
"How do you tell me to accept it?"
