"The scenery of Nanyu Mountain is very different from what we saw back then. Deng Liang stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the tall peaks, and couldn't help but sigh.

Wu Min looked worshipful: "This is His Highness's divine power 'stroke mountains and rivers'." On that day, he really quelled the Nanyushan Rebellion with one stroke and one picture. ”

"His Royal Highness is indeed the strongest demigod I have ever seen. Deng Liang stared at Nan Yushan. Back then, their predecessors had come to Nanyu Mountain, and they had also dealt with the mountain god, so they knew the strength of the mountain god. Unexpectedly, this mountain god has also been defeated in his own hands.

"Back then, we deliberately kept many city-states in the south to prevent Nanyushan from coming into direct contact with the Xia Kingdom. In our budget, it will take at least a hundred years to go head-to-head with Nanyu Mountain God. Unexpectedly, His Highness solved our problem alone. ”

Looking at the sky, the sunlight that passed through the flood was a little dazzling, Deng Liang said: "Without further ado, I want to go up." ”

As a yin god, he cannot be active in the human world for a long time. can only use the witchcraft of Wu Min to communicate yin and yang, so that he can come to Nanyu Mountain to find his sister.

"Gong Deng, that person, as the evil god of Nanyu Mountain, may be different from what you saw back then, so you need to be careful. ”

"No, you stay at the bottom of the mountain, and I'll go by myself. ”

"Or I'll accompany you, right?" Wu Min thought about it, but he didn't worry about Deng Liang going up the mountain alone, so he took Deng Liang to climb the mountain with him under the protection of ghosts and cavalry.

In the end, it was the younger brother who was raised by herself, seeing the old man coming, Mrs. Di sighed in her heart, waved her hand and pulled a dark cloud, pulling Deng Liang and his party to the grass house.

Looking at the old man with the same demeanor, Deng Liang was stunned, and then arched his hand: "Sister." ”

"You came here suddenly, did you mean that person from Yongle Palace, or did you mean Shangde Palace?"

"Neither. Deng Liang shook his head and said, "It's my own will." I listened to Mrs. Zheng tell me about the events of the past, so I wanted to come and meet my sister. ”

"Is she ......" Mrs. Di's eyebrows were a little nostalgic: "How is my sister now?"

"There is no Yang male in the underworld, and Mrs. Zheng is the highest-ranking elder of the Yang family. His Royal Highness ordered her to preside over the ancestral sacrifice of the Yang family and inherit the incense. ”

When Pei Lei was talking to the sister and brother, he looked at Wu Min very knowingly, and they outsiders left quietly, leaving private space for the sister and brother.

"Alright, don't worry, let the siblings speak slowly. Come, come, talk to me, talk to me about your appointment with the Thunder God Temple. I can feel that there are a lot of Tihengda near the Xia Kingdom, and those selfish Thor God are willing to help you, what benefits do you promise in the Xia Kingdom?"

He looked familiar and hooked his shoulders with Wu Min, which frightened Wu Min.

As a witch, Wu Min can feel the abundant divine power on Pei Lei's body. As long as Pei Lei is willing, he can wipe himself out with one palm.

But in the face of the secret of the Xia Kingdom, Wu Min didn't dare to reveal it casually, and shook his head again and again: "Your Highness and the divine covenant of the Lord of the Divine Heaven, how dare I ask casually?"

Wu Min said cautiously: "If the great god is curious, you can ask the Yongle Hall yourself." ”

This is a god, an immortal deity. To put it mildly, His Royal Highness can punish Mrs. Di and settle the wrongs of Xia Guo for many years, but in the face of this Excellency, there is no way to do it.

After all, what is the relationship between this Thor God and the Thor Temple? It's not something for outsiders like them to question.

"If you can't talk about secrecy, let's talk about what can be said. The cooperation between the Thunder God Temple and the Xia Kingdom has already been carried out, can we always talk about it?"

Wu Min thought for a while and briefly described the current electrical construction in the side platform.

After hearing the electrical civilization, Pei Lei sneered a few times: "Does the old guy want to compete with the sun god? After the promotion failed, he was really anxious." ”

After thinking about it, he looked at Wu Min again. Seeing that this wizard was worried, he couldn't help but dissipate the resentment in his heart.

In the final analysis, his resentment against the Thor has nothing to do with Xia Guo.

"I don't want to say anything else. Come, tell me about their brother and sister. "Although Pei Lei has learned a lot from Divis, he only heard about Deng Liang today.

Wu Min looked at the situation inside and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Di is the young daughter of Di Duwei, the first leader of our ancestors. ”

When the ancestors crossed, two captains came with troops. At that time, force was respected. Di Duwei and another companion were the first to occupy high positions by force and unite the original ancestors. On the contrary, many disciples of the family were suppressed by the martial artists and retreated. Even Duke Lie suffered a lot of losses at that time, so he could only sit in Jiugong City.

Wu Min: "The disaster of Tianjiao City, the great god may know more than me. Deng and Di are both orphans left behind in Tianjiao City. Deng Gong was raised by Mrs. Di herself, and he was like a sister and brother. ”

After the catastrophe of peace, Liegong apologized for his crimes. There was a turmoil in Jiugong City, and Di Yuan and Deng Liang, as orphans of Tianjiao City, were the leaders of this Han people.

Of course, after Mrs. Di's death, those orphans in Tianjiao City were completely integrated into Jiugong City, and Duke Deng played a great role in it. ”

In the grass house, the two sisters and brothers sat opposite each other.

Looking at his sister, who looked like the old one, Deng Liang said in a low voice: "I'm sorry. ”

“......”

"After I listened to Mrs. Zheng, I realized that Sister A-" back then-"

"Say no more. Mrs. Di stopped Deng Liang: "What happened back then, don't mention it now." My sister doesn't want to talk about him after meeting you. ”

Deng Liang's face was a little complicated, and Mrs. Di smiled reluctantly: "Tell me about your current situation." The person from Yongle Hall opened up the underworld, are you okay in the secluded capital?"

"I've just woken up, but there is an incense sacrifice, and I'm having a pretty good time? After all, people like me are enjoying the state ritual in the Spirit Palace, but the family sacrifice is a little deserted. ”

"There are few people in your vein, and they die early. Mrs. Di said, "Your eldest grandson should also get married." He is not in good health, in case there is a bad one, only one younger brother is left, how can he inherit the family business?"

Deng Liangnuono said yes.

The two chatted about the development of Jiugong City in recent years. But Deng Liang had just woken up, and he didn't know as much as Mrs. Di.

After talking for a while, Di Yuan smiled and said, "You are a grandfather, why haven't I understood the affairs of your children yet?"

"After all, I just woke up. The souls of those of us have come into the arms of the national spirit, and we have only recently acquired consciousness since the opening of the underworld. Of course—" Deng Liang looked at Di Yuan and said cautiously, "It's just that some of these souls are missing." ”

Di Yuan's expression darkened, but he cared about his own children, and pricked up his ears to listen to what Deng Liang said.

"The souls of those ancestors of Liegong do not exist, and it is said that they were sunk into the land of nine shadows. ”

Mentioning this, Di Yuan said in a deep voice: "My sister knows about this. When I took on the form of a resentful spirit, I managed to dive into the depths of the earth to find the Nine Shades. ”

The ancestors, there are not only the husband and wife of the martyr, but also Di Yuan's brothers and sisters, as well as parents and teachers.

After the resentful spirit was sealed as a god, Di Yuan did not want to rescue the souls of the ancestors all the time.

"But the Nine Shadows Land is very secretive, and it is different from the Underworld that you have evolved. If you want to save people from there, you must have the most top-level artifact and the strength of the top-level god. Di Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "My sister competes for the throne of the Earth Mother God. On the one hand, revenge, on the other hand, to save people...... But Nanyu Mountain was destroyed by the Yongle Palace, and the fragments of Huang Teng were also in his hands. ”

"My sister is hopeless. ”

Di Yuan had a premonition: this time was the moment when she ended her decades of grievances. No matter how it ends, you will perish.

"Go back and tell the man in Yongle Palace. If you want to save the ancestors, you must have a powerful artifact at the level of the Earth Mother Seven Artifacts. You also have to have the strength of the main god level. If you don't have the strength, remember not to let him mess around. It can be seen that this national spirit is not a lord who is willing to be lonely. ”

"Understood. Deng Liang then talked about the infant spirits: "It is said that the infant spirits may be in the hands of the Mother of Abundance. Her Highness is trying to negotiate with Mother Earth Goddess to redeem these children. ”

Mrs. Di's eyes flashed, and the anger in her expression eased a little.

"What if...... If only those children could be saved. Well, they shouldn't be able to resurrect. The biggest possibility is to live in the underworld as a ghost? ...... then."

"I'll take care of them. Of course, Deng Liang understood what Mrs. Di was thinking: "Sister, after all, you are also the ancestor of the people. Why do you have to make such a fuss with Jiugong City?"

"As long as you're willing to come back—"

"Impossible. The moment I wandered in the world as a resentful spirit, I was destined to be unable to be good with Jiugong City. Mrs. Di smiled indifferently: "You just woke up, so you don't know." ”

"After my sister joined the Nanyushan Alliance, she openly and secretly targeted Jiugong City many times. There are many soldiers who have fallen into my trap and have lost their families. ”

"Return to Nine Palace City, how do you let my sister meet those undead?"

"Sister, I want revenge on that person, but can't these undead take revenge on me?"

"The ...... of Yongle Palace" Di Yuan frowned: "My sister doesn't like him." But it has to be said that he is the one who understands best. ”

So from the very beginning, Ji Le didn't expect Di Yuan to come back. Even if Di Yuan joined the Xia Kingdom and was expected to add a demigod to the Xia Kingdom, Ji Le didn't think about it at all.

Standing on Ji Le's morality, standing on Ji Le's position, he is not allowed to do this.

"He did a great job, He cut me between my life and my death. ”

"Looking for the soul of 'that person' and helping me avenge my life, but the Yang family's sad wish for many years. But the sins after death must be paid by myself. ”

"Yes...... But what if you can't find your brother-in-law?" Deng Liang blurted out: "Everyone in the underworld has awakened, but my brother-in-law and eldest nephew are not there. Their souls are likely to be gone!If His Highness can't get him back, what is my sister going to do?"

Di Yuan stared at him, and suddenly smiled: "The national spirit promised, and made a bet." He's not in a hurry, what the hell are you going to do? When the gambling deadline is up, it's up to him to see what he does. ”

But I'm worried about you and the spirit of the country!

From Deng Liang's point of view, he didn't want Ji Le to fail the gambling contract, but he also didn't want his sister to have an accident.

"Frankly speaking, although the Yang family did that thing ruthlessly. But as a vested interest, we cannot raise any objection to Young's approach. ”

After all, Deng Liang's sons and grandsons were born by relying on the sacrifice of the Yang family.

"And yet...... As my sister's younger brother, I resented my brother-in-law's behavior. I'd prefer him to ...... if I could."

"What do you want him to do? Do you want him to die with another person? Or do you want me to talk to me beforehand?"

Deng Liang wanted to speak again and again, and finally said with a dejected face: "If you change someone, don't you still want other people to suffer? How can Sister A's character be willing to do it? The biggest possibility is that Sister A's self-sacrifice after learning the truth? But doing so is even more cruel than now." ”

The difficult choice after knowing the truth is not as rare as the rare confusion at this time. At this point, Deng Liang understands his brother-in-law's choice very well.

Di Yuan was stunned and asked rhetorically: "Do you think that after I know about this matter, I will support 'him'." ”

"Yes, of course. Deng Liang smiled bitterly: "Although I, an outsider, shouldn't say much." But I understand that Sister A and her brother-in-law were the same kind of people back then. With my sister's character, although she will lament and be angry at what happened to her, she will still choose the same method as her brother-in-law in the end, right?"

But the position is very different.

Yang Ke's grandfather was to continue the Xia Kingdom, to make his father's sacrifice not in vain, and for the Yang family's sorrow and heroism.

And Di Yuan, if she really chose this way back then. I'm afraid I don't know whether it's more for righteousness or atonement for the father's family in Tianjiao City.

"I don't even know what I'm thinking, let alone you?"

Therefore, Di Fu deliberately found the Nangong clan and wanted the Nangong clan and Yang Ke to simulate the scene of the year.

Faced with the same situation, how will the Nangong clan choose?

After the sorrow, she gave up everything, got out of the sea of suffering, and let Yang Ke carry the fate of the Yang family alone. Or are you going to face it with Yang Ke yourself?

"It's not just Sister A, even if it's the eldest lady?"

"What kind of environment were we in?"

"After God's rejection, all the gods who had helped us left, and countless demons attacked. It was almost the darkest hour of our Nine Palace City, and the whole world was the enemy. At this moment, how many people are sacrificing their lives to protect this projectile land?"

"The Ten Witches of the Spirit Palace have changed for two generations for this reason, and the several Nine Palace City clans that are tied to the Yang family are all extinct. In this case, the brother-in-law took those of us who are like-minded people to stand up and carry the crown. Even if we have all kinds of grievances in our hearts, we will choose to sacrifice for this country in the end, right?"

“......”

Is it true? If you change it for yourself, if you learn the truth of the matter at the beginning, will you really stand up? Do you have such a great righteousness as his brother?

Di Yuan's heart was heavy.

If he really had that righteousness, why did he break with that person in the end? The lives of three innocent children finally made him resentful and unforgettable, and became a vengeful undead.

That's it, all this will be known on the day of the gambling contract.

Di Yuan suppressed her complicated thoughts and said to Deng Liang: "There is one thing, my sister wants to ask you." She opened her mouth and whispered a word.

Deng Liang's body was shocked: "This ......"

"Listen to my sister, this matter will be left to you. ”

"Sister, if you really miss this matter, why don't you go to Yongle Hall by yourself?"

"Nine Palace Castle...... My sister is reluctant to set foot again. ”

Half a life of sorrow and half a life of joy. After the collapse of Tianjiao City, Jiugong City carried everything in Di Yuan's lifetime. After calming down, especially when the old people of the underworld woke up, she really didn't want to set foot in this old place.

"That's the end of it. At the time of Yang's time, my sister was reluctant to mention it again. After all, for the people, this is just a trivial matter, and who cares except for the few parties involved?"

"Yes, a thousand years later, there are only a few strokes on the Qingjian, and I won't even mention it. ”

However, the death of some children only left a line of small characters in the history of bamboo slips, and they did not even deserve their names.

If someone in later generations reads this history, they may be more admiring Yang's righteousness, or casually pointing out a few cruel words. And how many people are willing to put themselves in their shoes?

"Therefore, His Royal Highness Ji Le really deserves it. ”

......

In the Court of Nations, after several national spirits reached the initial tacit understanding, Ji Le silently retreated.

Before leaving, Tumu said a few words to him, which made Ji Le feel depressed. As soon as he sat down, he saw a gust of wind blowing, and a middle-aged man walked into the Yongle Palace.

"Deng Liang greeted His Highness. ”

"Are you ......" Ji Le reacted: "Grandfather Deng Kai?"

"Only then did I go to Nanyu Mountain to meet Sister A. ”

Ji Le frowned and asked, "Presumably she didn't agree with your words?"

"Yes. ”

"Unexpectedly, she is an understanding person. Ji Le closed his eyes and thought about it, and said to Deng Liang: "You go to Huo Biyao, go to that altar with him, and rescue the children." By the way, go find Yang Ke. Finally, go see your sister again and invite her to come...... That's it, the main hall goes to Nanyu Mountain. Put this matter to rest. ”

Seeing that Ji Le was planning to cut through the mess quickly, Deng Liang asked in surprise: "Has Your Highness found the soul of your brother-in-law?"

"It's a bit of an eyebrow, you can go quickly. ”

After sending Deng Liang down, Ji Le walked out of the Yongle Palace, looked at the towering palace gate, and unconsciously let out a long sigh.

Just now, when the Court of Nations was leaving, he was greatly touched by Tumu's words.

"Our national spirit is the embodiment of the country?

"Of course I understand what His Excellency Tumu means, but I can't let it go after all. ”

The spirit of the country, after all, is not the king. It is not possible to interfere with the official functioning of the State for a long time. Otherwise, all the national spirits have come to the foreground and personally managed the country, aren't they immortal kings?

Just now, Tumu clearly pointed out: "If Your Highness continues like this for a long time and personally manages the operation of the country, it will be detrimental to you and your country. ”

How can the state tolerate an immortal king?

Moreover, Ji Le's interference is also easy to make the people feel dependent.

The national spirit is the embodiment of the country, which is naturally friendly to the people. Therefore, Ji Le's orders are sometimes more effective than Yang Ke's. Now in the Spirit Palace, Ji Le obviously didn't work hard, and he had already convinced everyone.

For a long time, there was no more noise in the country, and it was completely assimilated by Ji Le.

Staring at the direction of Deng Liang's departure, Ji Le muttered to himself: "This matter should be the last time I officially interfere in the operation of Xia Guo." ”
