Chapter 223: The Past
The moment the old man saw the jade pendant, his expression changed slightly, but he still looked like nothing had happened. Zhuo Yu naturally just noticed the change in the old man's expression, so he asked with some curiosity:
"Looks like you're no stranger to this."
The old man's expression was a little complicated, he looked at Zhuo Yu and Wei Chi Jin and said, "Some things, since they have all passed, those butterflies are not something you and I can control, why bother so much?"
Wei Chi Jin took a step forward and said, "But those lives are also innocent, and I really don't want to see any more innocent people implicated." Yu Chi Jin said.
The old man sighed, touched his beard, and said, "But this person has a life, wealth is in the sky, naturally someone will clean it up, why should you two be entangled?"
"But if it drags on any longer, more people will only be injured, sir, you are merciful, and you can't bear to leave it alone when you see people who are lost, let alone human lives." Zhuo Yu said on the side.
When the old man heard this, he sighed heavily and said, "Maybe it's all providence." Anyway, what do you want to know? ”
Zhuo Yu was naturally very excited, so he hurriedly spoke: "I don't know if sir, do you know the source of this jade pendant?"
The old man held the jade pendant and said, "Naturally, I know." This is a long time ago, a general gave his ancestral jade pendant to his sweetheart, and also dripped his own blood on this jade pendant to protect the girl's safety. ”
At this time, Yu Chijin remembered that when he wore a jade pendant for the first time, he seemed to have dreamed that in one of his thatched huts, a woman got along with him.
"Then who is the owner of this jade pendant?" Zhuo Yu couldn't wait to ask, it would be better if he knew this master.
"Far away, close at hand." The old man looked at Zhuo Yu and said.
"Me?"
"To be exact, it's you and the son next to you."
Hearing this, Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin both glanced at each other. It is obviously impossible for these two people to know each other for so long.
"Or rather, your past life." The old man said.
Dieyi only said to Zhuo Yu last time, that Qi Rui was rescued by Bai Yue and brought to the house, and the story after that was not told.
In fact, Qi Rui secretly fell in love with Bai Yue after that, because Qi Rui's eyes had been injured, and he never knew that Bai Yue was the princess who was married to him, and the people who searched for Qi Rui found him and brought him back to the palace. Qi Rui was not worried about Bai Yue, so he wanted Bai Yue to go back with him.
But Bai Yue has lost her previous memories, and the grandmother who picked her up is also her own reborn parent, she is also older, and the child is very young, so she is reluctant to leave.
Qi Rui experienced such an experience, and he planned to marry her. However, the holy will was difficult to violate, so he had to go back first to tell the emperor that he already had a place in his heart, and he could no longer tolerate others. He planned to settle all of this and pick them up again.
Before leaving, Qi Rui was afraid that Bai Yue would forget him, so he gave Zhuo Yu his ancestral jade pendant, and there was also a drop of his heart and blood on it.
And Dieyi was born at that time.
The old man told the story from the beginning again, and when he said this, Zhuo Yu and Yu Chi Jin glanced at each other, Zhuo Yu couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but he felt very strange.
"And after that?" Yu Chijin asked.
The old man said that after Qi Rui returned to the court, the emperor also rewarded him, but he still forcibly married the fake princess to Qi Rui. Qi Rui resisted the order, so he left the house one night to find that Yue'er.
At this time, Qi Rui's eyes had already recovered, and when he saw that the Yue'er in front of him was actually Bai Yue, whom the emperor wanted to marry, he was naturally very surprised.
Bai Yue's memory had almost recovered at that time, but there were still many things that he couldn't remember clearly. She didn't remember who had harmed her, but she vaguely remembered that she looked like a princess.
"Yue'er, you are Princess Baiyue. But if you are Bai Yue, who is in the palace at this time? Qi Rui said.
Qi Rui thought about it, and naturally understood, the one in the palace could only be Bai Lin.
The emperor has never used this matter to fool the ministers, and what happened at the beginning can only be known to her and Bai Yue.
After Bai Yue, he returned to the capital with Qi Rui. Above the court, the emperor wanted to put him to death, but he never thought that Qi Rui would bring the real Bai Yue back and expose Bai Lin's face.
Bai Lin was naturally in great pain, mixed with all kinds of unwillingness and jealousy. However, there is no direct evidence to prove that she harmed Bai Yue, and she is the emperor's daughter, so this matter has passed, but she is just put to live elsewhere.
"So, Bai Yue and Qi Rui are finally together satisfactorily?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"There is nothing so easy in the world, although the two have experienced very sweet days together. But this white moon is also a bitter life, fell ill early, and passed away. And this Qi Rui, because he missed his deceased wife too much, passed away within two years. ”
In this way, it is a very tragic story. But what does this have to do with Yu Pei? Zhuo Yu was a little sad, but he still had a lot of questions in his heart.
"The blood in this jade pendant is Qi Rui's, which is his love for Bai Yue. The feelings are too strong, and it has its own consciousness in it. ”
"The man in this jade pendant is named Dieyi. He also has the same thoughts and looks as his master, but he has no choice but to be trapped in this jade pendant and can't come out. After Bai Yue's death, he also turned into an obsession, obsessively guarding her inside, waiting for her reincarnation. But in the end, he could not do anything, and during this time he was stolen and sold by the eunuchs, and sold many times, and once met the Madame Butterfly. The old man said.
When Zhuo Yu heard the story of this Dieyi, he felt even more pity for him, how sad this person must be, he has been trapped in one place, waiting for his beloved, and he doesn't know when he will meet each other.
"He's met Madame Butterfly too?" Yu Chijin asked.
"Don't look at your age, Madame Butterfly is actually hundreds of years old and has become a human spirit. By chance, she saw from an ancient book that the flowers and plants stained by the blood-colored butterfly can keep her youth forever after eating, so she tried hard to find the butterfly, but the blood-colored butterfly is not a mortal thing, how can she easily get it. ”
"Then what exactly is this blood-colored butterfly?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"This blood-colored butterfly is actually an undead with deep resentment, living by sucking people's blood."
