Chapter 10: The Return of the Soul

Gu Ruobai's words were very serious, he was reluctant to let Su Nuo'er be so tired, if she was willing, he would definitely solve everything for her, and no one would disturb her with anything.

"Oops." Su Nuo'er's heart warmed, and she threw herself into his arms and said in a muffled voice, "I suddenly feel so happy." Then he raised his head and looked into his eyes and said seriously, "But didn't we say yes?" We're going to fight side by side together, so I won't just hide behind you and be a useless rice worm. ”

Gu Ruobai smiled slightly, her eyes warm. "Rice worms are rice worms, and you will be raised by the Forget Worry Pavilion."

"Oops, it's souring me." Bai Ling'er on the side finally couldn't stand the two of him, you and me, and exaggeratedly covered her face and teased Su Nuo'er, "Why don't you marry me if Brother Bai doesn't work?" Save the two of you from thinking about it when you don't see each other for a while. ”

Su Nuo'er blushed and glared at her: "I think you are envious, I think the two of us are sour, why don't you go to your little monk?" ”

"Stinky woman, you're bullying me again!" As soon as Bai Ling'er heard the words "little monk", she jumped to her feet, and was so angry that she wanted to catch Su Nuo'er and "teach a lesson".

Su Nuo'er hid behind Gu Ruobai and grimaced at Bai Ling'er, who was stopped by Gu Ruobai.

"Alright, don't make a fuss." Gu Ruobai looked at the two of them helplessly, "Go and rest for a while, it will be dawn later." ”

There was still a slight chill in the first month, and when the day was bright, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

Su Nuo'er hurriedly got up and went outside to see what the situation was, and as soon as she came out of the camp, she was stunned.

The huge altar was filled with smoke, the altar was tied with red strips of cloth, and in the center, Xia Yan, dressed in red, knelt there, and the incense burner in front of her was full of incense for blessings.

Xia Yan was in a ball of incense, and the fiery red figure was faintly visible. She knelt there motionless, like a statue.

"How did she do it?" Su Nuo'er wanted to cry inexplicably.

Gu Ruobai gently hugged her, looked at Xia Yan at the same time, and said softly: "This is the power of the merman, the merman is born for love, dies for love, and its power can move the heavens and the earth." Xia Yan's bloodline has long been awakened, and now he may feel that there is nothing to worry about in this world, so he used the power of the merman to share the affairs here for us. ”

Under the altar, Su Nuo'er and Gu Ruobai stood together, Su Mo and Bai Ling'er stood together, Bai Yu and King Suo Yama stood together, and behind them were the soldiers and the people of Qingshui Town and Qingfeng Town, all looking up at Xia Yan on the altar.

The wind rose, the smoke was filled, there was not a trace of sound, and there was a solemn radius of ten miles.

Xia Yan stood up, looked in the direction of Su Nuo'er, and smiled shallowly.

Thank you.

Silently thanking, Xia Yan believed that Su Nuo'er would understand what she was saying, just as she believed that Su Nuo'er would protect her soul and return to the sea smoothly.

Su Nuo'er suddenly covered her mouth and forcibly held back the tears that were about to well.

King Reaper closed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Is there no other way?" "He wants to stop Xia Yan, he wants to take her out of here, what merman blood, what Li people, what does it have to do with him? He just wanted her to be nice and to be by his side.

But he couldn't, Xia Yan had already left a letter to him in order not to let him stop him. If he did, she would hate him.

"It's her own choice, and we have no right to interfere." Bai Yu's tone was a little stiff, don't look over his head and stop looking at Xia Yan.

on the altar.

Xia Yan sat down on her knees again, clasped her hands together and prayed softly. In a few moments, a pale blue light emanated from her body, and her body slowly rose into the air. Xia Yan opened his eyes, and the blue light in his eyes was even worse, like the most flawless sapphire in the world.

The people under the altar knelt down one after another, and in their eyes, the current Xia Yan was a god, a god who came to save them.

"The descendants of the merman, the mission is to live for the common people in the world, and now there is a vision of flooding, because of the merman, it will end by the merman. Now the mermaids prophesied that if you and other sentient beings disobey, they will not escape death. Su Nuo'er, the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, is not allowed to be married by any member of the royal family, and if she violates it, the world will be destroyed. The Prime Minister's Mansion is full of wicked people, and if he stays, the world will be in turmoil. ”

Xia Yan's ethereal voice rang in everyone's ears, and the aftermath spread to a hundred and ten miles, and it didn't go away for a long time.

The light around Xia Yan's body suddenly flourished, dazzling and warm.

Su Nuo'er and the others hurriedly covered their eyes, and some couldn't stand such a dazzling light.

A crisp sound of water droplets suddenly sounded in mid-air, and then the light dissipated, and Xia Yan's body slowly became transparent.

At the same time, a light rain suddenly began to fall in the sky.

Xia Yan's body gradually became transparent and gradually disappeared.

Su Nuo'er immediately flew around her, laying an impermeable barrier, and channeled spiritual power to Xia Yan's already translucent body.

Xia Yan's body eventually faded all colors, and now she became extremely transparent, like a white and flawless crystal porcelain doll. Looking at Su Nuo'er, who was still trying to convey spiritual power to her, Xia Yan gently stretched out her hand to hold Su Nuo'er's hand, and the transparent hand finally stayed on Su Nuo'er's forehead, passing on all her thoughts to Su Nuo'er.

In this way, it is enough......

Xia Yan smiled contentedly, his body turned into a merman, the fishtail gently swept Su Nuo'er's hand, and then flew in the direction of the sea, disappearing in an instant.

"O gods! O manifestation of the gods! ”

Suddenly, the people burst into a passionate shout, "The water has receded!" The water is receding! What a manifestation of the gods! ”

The shouts were louder and louder, and the people were still kowtowing in the direction of the altar reverently, a scene of rebirth.

When Su Nuo'er flew down, she was already in tears.

She had only known Xia Yan for a few days, and she just looked at her pitifully, helped her detoxify, and took her to meet her mother. But Xia Yan told her that she was very grateful for her help and allowed her to see her mother. It was this gratitude that Xia Yan used her life to leave a merman prophecy for her.

Bai Yu walked over, looked at her for a long time, and asked, "What did she say before leaving?" ”

Su Nuo'er held back her tears and told him Xia Yan's words. She said that she knew you liked him, and she had been pretending to be stupid all along, but just now she regretted it, regretted not being able to tell you in person that she liked you. If you meet a girl you like in the future, you will be with that person and forget about her. ”

Bai Yu staggered back and reddened his eyes.

After a long time, Bai Yu said: "That's it, now that her soul has returned to the sea, then I should also go." ”

"Where are you going?" Bai Ling'er said worriedly, "You won't be unable to think about it, will you?" ”

Bai Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth, bowed to Bai Ling'er and Gu Ruobai, and said, "Master, Pavilion Master, thank you for taking care of Bai Yu, now that Xia Yan's soul has returned to the sea, I want to go to the sea to wait for her, so I will live in seclusion and never be born again." After speaking, he didn't look back, one person and one sword, and walked resolutely.

"Come on, the person I like doesn't like me, and I'm gone." The King of Yama looked indifferent, and then turned to Gu Ruobai and said, "There will be no more dead soldiers to hunt her down, as for what I promised you, let's talk about it another day!" ”

"There are three fewer people at once, and I'm still a little unaccustomed." Bai Ling'er looked at the back of the departing King of Destalment and sighed, "The flood disaster has been solved like this, why can't I be happy at all." ”

"All that remains is to settle the affected people, and tomorrow we can leave for the Imperial City." Su Mo said.

Put Xia Yan's matter down a little, and a few people arranged for the affected people separately, fortunately, Su Mo and Su Nuo'er had already arranged it before, and then there were not many people affected by the disaster, and the flooded fields also distributed disaster relief silver to the people, and left a few teams of people to help the people rebuild their houses.

In the previous life, because of the plague caused by the flood, Su Nuo'er was still not at ease, so she wrote a prescription and prepared medicine overnight to stay, and the group set off back to the imperial city with confidence.

The merman's prophecy had already reached the Imperial City.

Gu Ruobai and Bai Ling'er returned to Tianxue Mountain, and as soon as Su Mo and Su Nuo'er returned to the General's Mansion, they received a summons from the old emperor.

As soon as he entered the palace, he met An Jiuchen.

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Su Mo and Su Nuo'er saluted, An Jiuchen just glanced at Su Nuo'er deeply, shook his sleeves and left.

Su Nuo'er muttered to herself, what does this mean? Could it be that the old emperor withdrew the marriage?

The old emperor's father-in-law took them all the way to the old emperor's bedroom, and as soon as they entered, there was a violent coughing sound.

"No need to salute."

Su Mo and Su Nuo'er were just about to kneel down when the old emperor said goodbye.

Su Nuo'er quietly looked up, and saw the old emperor lying on the bed, his face haggard and shaped like a withered tree, his eyes were dull, and he coughed from time to time, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

Obediently, it's strange to suddenly become like this. Su Nuo'er lowered her head and thought to herself.

Although Su Mo was surprised that the old emperor looked like this, he had long been cold to the old emperor because of the death of his father and mother on the battlefield, and he had a businesslike attitude towards the old emperor, so he opened his mouth to report the flood situation in the southeast to the old emperor, especially the matter of Xia Yan, which was very clear.

It wasn't until Su Mo finished speaking for a while that the old emperor let out an angry "um" and didn't speak again.

After a while, the old emperor finished coughing before he called Su Nuo'er. "I can't go back to heaven, since I gave you a marriage to the prince, then the marriage will be completed in three days."

Su Nuo'er raised her head suddenly, she never expected that the old emperor would actually mention this matter again.

"Your Majesty, presumably the emperor has also heard the prophecy of the merman, and the courtiers are terrified, hoping that the emperor will take back the marriage."

When the old emperor heard this, he coughed violently again, "If the prince wants to marry you, you will marry." The old emperor closed his eyes a little weakly and stopped talking.

Su Nuo'er and Su Mo glanced at each other, something was wrong, the old emperor had already sent someone to monitor the Prime Minister's Mansion in an airtight manner, it seemed that he believed in the merman's prophecy, but how could he not change his mind about An Jiuchen marrying her?

Unless......

Su Nuo'er knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers dare to ask, Your Majesty, do you often feel itchy at night, and your body is still very itchy?" Coughing all the time during the day and can't take any medicine? ”

"You...... How do you know? The old emperor struggled to half-sit up all of a sudden, pointed at Su Nuo'er and coughed violently, this time he actually coughed up blood.

Seeing the old emperor's reaction, Su Nuo'er was even more sure of her guess, and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are not talented, and they once worshipped a hidden master as a teacher and learned medical skills. If the courtiers can see your condition, they will be able to cure you. Please ask the emperor to believe in his courtiers. ”

The old emperor was even more excited when he heard this, and his whole body trembled. "Really?"

He is really cornered now, even the imperial doctor can't cure his illness, and the crown prince An Jiuchen has long controlled his bedroom and personal guards, struggling hopelessly, he wanted to wait for death, but he didn't expect to wait for Su Nuo'er.

"The courtiers don't dare to deceive the emperor, but if you want to cure the emperor's illness, the courtiers have one condition." Su Nuo'er guessed that the old emperor was threatened, so she said, "I hope that the emperor will withdraw the marriage, and from now on, the marriage of the courtiers will only be decided by the courtiers." ”

"I promise." The old emperor tried to put on a majestic appearance, "If you can't cure it, I will ask you to be buried with you." ”

Su Nuo'er responded: "Please also ask the emperor to keep this matter secret, in addition, just believe in the courtiers." After a pause, he said, "The courtiers will go to dispense medicine tonight, and they will come to treat the emperor tomorrow." ”

The old emperor stared at Su Nuo'er fixedly for a while, and finally waved his hand: "Go down." ”

As soon as Su Mo and Su Nuo'er exited the old emperor's house, a little eunuch came up to greet them and saluted Su Nuo'er: "Miss Su, the queen mother is invited." ”
