At midnight, it was dark and gloomy, and the cold moonlight appeared and disappeared through the clouds.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At the entrance of a cold temple on the outskirts of the Liansheng Imperial City, a young man in a cloak looked around cautiously for a moment, and only after making sure that no one was following him did he knock on the somewhat dilapidated wooden door.

"Click......

A slight sound of footsteps came unhurriedly from behind the door......

When the footsteps stopped, there was silence for a while, as if the people inside were peeking through the gap in the wooden door to see who was outside the door.

"Squeak......

With the sound of some harsh door shaft turning, the door opened, and a very clever little monk appeared at the door, he folded his hands, bowed respectfully, and said softly:

"May I ask why the donor came to visit late at night?"

"It's about to change, I want to borrow your temple to rest for a night, I don't know if it's convenient?"

The young man's tired voice came through the curtain on his cloak, and it seemed that he had really been on the road for a long time.

"The temple is in disrepair, the ground wing room is leaking rain everywhere, I am afraid that I will be wronged by the donor to deign to live in the underground wing, if you don't dislike it, you will come with me."

The little monk said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay, then there's Master Lao."

Then under the leadership of the little monk, the young man came to a side room in the backyard of the temple, from an underground entrance in the room, walked along the steps for a long time, and then came to a stone door that seemed to be quite old, the little monk walked a few steps on the ground in front of the stone gate, and the stone door slowly opened.

The little monk leaned sideways and stretched out his hand to signal that the young man could enter.

The young man nodded slightly, thanking him, and then walked into the stone door without hesitation, and soon after he entered, the stone door slowly closed again.

The little monk outside the door quietly returned the same way.

As for the young man, after hearing the stone door behind him close, he took off the cloak on his head, revealing a face that was extremely tired, but also very excited.

This person is the only person who survived after participating in the Lotus Birth Rain Birth Ceremony and getting a Lotus Birth Celestial Maiden, and he was the only person who survived after being shot by the frozen Bing Wushui with an ice arrow when he passed through a desert oasis on the way back to his homeland.

When he came down the winding passage to an underground chamber and saw an old woman with blank eyes, apparently blind, he shouted happily:

"Grandma, I'm back. I just saw the lotus lantern you mentioned at the gate of the Imperial City, and the dead corpses covered in strips of cloth, so terrible! Grandma, you are really a god this time, even the disappearance of the emperor and the death of half of the ministers of civil and military affairs have been so accurately calculated! Well? Grandmother! What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes bleeding? Grandma, don't scare me! Aren't you okay before I go out in the morning? What's wrong with you? No, I'll get a doctor right away! ”

Just as he threw his cloak aside, knelt down on one knee in front of the old woman, clutched her old and withered hands, and told the bloody scene at the gate of the city during the day, he saw that a lot of blood slowly flowed out of the old woman's godless sunken eyes, which immediately frightened him into a cry, and he was so anxious to get up and want to run out.

"Jiaxi, come back, you don't need to ask a doctor, it's useless, grandma's limit is approaching, even the gods can't save me. Come, come to grandma, grandma has something very important to say to you, you must keep every word in mind! Do you understand? ”

The old woman shook her head and said, then stretched out her hand again and motioned for the Li man to come to her.

"Grandma, Jiaxi can't bear you, I've been with you since I was a child, my wife was also picked by you for me, and my daughter was also won under your guidance. If you're gone, I'll have no relatives left. Grandma, just let me go to the doctor, the doctor will definitely save you, didn't you still say that you would help me take my daughter? She's the Lotus Goddess you've been looking forward to! In ten months, she will be born, are you really willing to leave our family of three like this? Didn't you say that when my daughter enters the palace in the future, our whole family will be happy? Why don't you talk count! ”

The man named Li Jiaxi knelt in front of the old woman again, looked expectantly at the grandmother who had suddenly aged a lot, and said with tears in his eyes.

"Jiaxi, good! Don't cry, you know? A person's life is fateful, and he can't make his own decisions. Just like what you saw during the day, those civil and military officials and poor people who died at the gate of the city, didn't they also say that they would die? This is also their fate, all arranged by the immortal heaven, since ancient times, no one can go against the sky, otherwise they will only die more miserably. In fact, you are not only a relative of your grandmother, in addition to your wife, the future daughter, your mother is still alive, after the death of your grandmother, you go to her. ”

The old woman gently stroked Li Jiaxi's head and comforted her, every time she said a word, more blood would flow from her eyes, and it was obvious that she would die soon.

"Mother? Didn't you say she died when I was born? How can it still be alive? Grandma, what the hell is going on? ”

Li Jiaxi asked in surprise.

"Jiaxi, in the past twenty years, grandma has been hiding the news that your mother is still alive, because she is afraid that if you know it, she will try her best to find her and ruin her revenge plan. It will even put your mother and son in danger because of this. So don't blame grandma for being cruel to your mother, we are also forced to be helpless! ”

The old woman said with a sad face.

"Grandma, what revenge plan? For whom? Li Jiaxi asked puzzled.

"It's to avenge your tragic death, my son! Twenty years ago, your father was gouged out by a vicious woman, chopped off his limbs, soaked in a dark lotus pond, and died of torture for ten years! Do you say that you don't want to take revenge for killing your father? ”

The old woman shouted excitedly, apparently the pain of losing her son had made her extremely mad.

"My dad? Didn't you say that he went up the mountain to hunt, stumbled and fell off a cliff and died? How could he have been killed again? Did you also hide the truth from my father's death? ”

Li Jiaxi asked in shock.

"Jiaxi, grandma didn't say it because I didn't want to mention this sad incident. To tell the truth, grandma would rather your father really die on the cliff than die without being guilty, rather than being tortured by that vicious woman who should be cut for ten years before dying. ”

The old woman said through gritted teeth.

"Who the hell is that woman? Why did she torture my father? ”

Li Jiaxi asked.

She ...... Hey, you may not believe it, she is still your aunt, that is, your mother's sister. It's just that she and your mother are both in love with your father, but your father only likes your mother, and said that your mother is pregnant with his child, but your aunt killed your mother first, thinking that in this way you can get your father's heart. As a result, she was very wrong, your father still refused to marry her, and then she turned your father like that, soaked in the lotus pond, and sent people to feed him regularly, not letting him die, whipping him at every turn, letting all kinds of insects bite him, and torturing him for ten years without letting him go. ”

The old woman said with embarrassment.

"There is such a vicious woman in the world! Even his own sister can do it! It's really time for Ling Chi to execute her to get rid of her hatred! So how did my mother survive? And how did my dad die? ”

Li Jiaxi also said with great resentment.

"Your mother's life is big, after being buried alive by your aunt, she happened to be rescued by a passing aunt, and took good care of her for a year to heal her injury, during which she also gave birth to you, and then this aunt also taught your mother a good martial arts, so that she had the opportunity to realize the possibility of avenging your father. In order to practice martial arts with peace of mind, I entrusted you to my care. After your mother has studied martial arts with Dao Gu for eight years, she will know that your aunt is actually a vicious woman, hey......"

When the old woman mentioned Li Jiaxi's aunt, she sighed, couldn't go on, paused for a while, and then continued:

She actually entered the palace draft under the recommendation of her eldest brother, and with the power of her eldest brother Nangong Mo is prime minister, she soon forced the emperor to crown her as a concubine. After becoming a concubine, she sent someone to secretly send your father into the palace and soak in a well in the back garden of her palace. After knowing all this, your mother, with the help of Daogu, killed the most trusted ghost guard leader Ghost Rose around her, and replaced it, because the ghost guards must wear masks, so your mother did not reveal her true identity, so she had the opportunity to enter the well to take care of your father, but your father was not willing to live in such a painful life, and under his repeated pleas, your mother killed him with her own hands, which can be regarded as helping him to be freed. ”

The old woman recalled in an extremely helpless tone.

"What? It was my mother who killed my father with her own hands! And the person who made my father so miserable was actually the most favored Concubine Lan today? Nangong Xiangye or my uncle? Then my uncle doesn't know that it was Lan Guifei who killed his own sister? actually helped her become a concubine? ”

Li Jiaxi shouted in a lost voice.

"Hey, although your mother and your aunt are twin sisters, they have diametrically opposite personalities, your mother is docile and well-behaved, kind-hearted, and has no quarrel with the world, while your aunt has a stubborn personality, she must fight for the first place in everything, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her own goals. As for your uncle being able to become the prime minister, naturally power and money are greater than family affection, even if he knows that your aunt killed your mother, he will not fall out with your aunt because of this. After all, there are people in the harem, and his position as prime minister is more stable and long-lasting. ”

The old woman said in a cold tone that was accustomed to the world.

"So, my mother is now pretending to be that Ghost Rose by my aunt's side every day? Isn't that dangerous? Once the identity is revealed, it will be a disaster! ”

Li Jiaxi said with a worried face.

"Jiaxi, go help your mother, your mother's ...... Ahem...... Ahem...... Grandma can't do it, grandma ...... If you really want to leave, take this token and you can enter the palace to find your mother,...... Ahem...... Let's go find your mother......"

The old woman had just said a word, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly coughed violently, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then took out a very delicate token for entering and leaving the palace from her arms with trembling hands, put it in Li Jiaxi's hand, and gave another difficult advice, and died of anger.

"Nope! Grandmother! You're back! Grandmother! ”

Li Jiaxi hugged her grandmother and cried hysterically......
