Chapter 1: Birth
In the remote stone city of Tianwu Kingdom, he was in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion at this time. A burly man kept walking around, his hands swaying and swinging, the whole person looked very nervous, and his fingers were buckled into the flesh and he didn't know it. I'm still muttering, I haven't given birth yet!
At this moment, the clear sky suddenly became dark and gloomy. The dark clouds in the sky gathered together, forming a huge dark cloud with a human face, which threatened the entire city.
The man looked up at the sky, his eyes were a little puzzled, what had become like this in the good sky just now.
A rumbling sound sounded, and thunder appeared in the sky, one after another roaring in the void. The people of Shicheng looked up at the sky, completely unaware of what was happening, and did not know why God was angry, and looked a little frightened.
Far away, many people flew into the sky, looking in the direction of Stone City and were silent for a long time. For a long time, I don't know where the voice came from.
"The clear sky suddenly has a vision, the dark clouds have a human face, accompanied by the roar of thunder, there was once an ancient saying that has been handed down, this is the birth of a person who is not allowed by heaven and earth. I am afraid that the mainland will make waves again, and there will be more disputes. Hey, I don't know how many people will die by then, and the time will also be fatal!"
"Housekeeper. The man's voice rang out, and a fat man came from outside. He was so fat that his neck was almost gone, his whole body was round, he had a smiling smile on his face, and his eyes were so small that he was about to lose sight.
"Go out and have a look, and at the same time pass my order that the city defense army should be dispatched to maintain law and order in the city, and no accidents will occur. The man gave the order, and the fat man nodded and walked away, turned around and stared at the room again, the whole person looking extremely nervous.
"Born, born, Mrs. gave birth. ”
The midwife's voice came from the room, and when the man heard this outside, the whole person jumped up with joy. He walked quickly to the room, but before he could reach the door, the maid inside cried out.
"Madam, ma'am, wake up, you're all right. ”
The footsteps paused, the man's heart was cold, an ominous premonition appeared in his heart, and his hands trembled and pushed the door open.
The two maids and the midwife in the room knelt on the ground, and did not dare to raise their heads, but when they heard the sound of footsteps, their heads lowered and pressed directly to the ground.
"City Lord. ”
A quiet, sobbing voice came from their mouths, their voices full of fear.
The man ignored them and looked directly at the bed, where a beautiful woman was lying on the bed. A beautiful face was incomparably pale, without a trace of blood. Her eyes were closed, and a newborn baby was crying next to her.
"Lan'er, you're fine, you'll be fine. The man knelt beside the bed, touching the woman's face with both hands, only feeling a burst of coldness, without a trace of temperature.
"Woooooooooo ”
The man could only cry helplessly and weakly, and the tears kept flowing down. The cold body of the woman on the bed did not give him a trace of response, and the sad cry of the man who was left alone rang out in the room.
The sky outside was still extremely gloomy, and the dark clouds on the faces became larger, and the whole face was clearly visible. There was an extremely angry expression on his face, accompanied by a flash of thunder, and the thunder was deafening, as if it was about to be split down and destroy the stone city.
There was a little chaos in the city, but fortunately, the city defense troops were dispatched to maintain law and order in the city. lest there be greater chaos in the city and cause casualties. But at this moment, something strange happened.
The dark clouds and thunder in the sky were slowly dispersing, slowly drifting away until they disappeared. The sky began to become clear again, and the sky was blue, and it was completely impossible to see the dark clouds just now.
Meanwhile, in an underground palace buried deep underground in the Far North, two shadows are talking. "The reincarnation of the Lord has been born safely, and we can begin to plan for the next step. ”
"Don't worry, everyone's eyes are on there now, wait a few years, what we have is time, time, time, time, ......time" The words were full of laughter, and the echo spread far away in this underground space.
In the backyard room of the Shicheng City Lord's Mansion, the man knelt beside the bed, "Why don't you save Madame, why!" His voice was full of anger and he asked sharply.
It directly frightened the two maids and the midwife to kowtow constantly, and their bodies trembled.
"Back to the city lord, it was Madame who asked us to try to keep the child as much as possible, and at the same time asked us not to go out and ask you. After a long time, the midwife replied in a low voice.
The city lord was silent for a long time, fell on top of his wife, and burst into tears, and after a long time, the voice of sadness sounded.
"You take the child out, I'll accompany Lan'er here. ”
The maid hurriedly went up and wrapped the child in cloth and carried it out, while the midwife and another maid hurriedly followed. Get out of the room and close the door.
Wang Ming, the leader of the city defense army, walked into the city lord's mansion and went straight to the backyard, wanting to report today's strange incident. When he arrived in the backyard, he was directly stopped by the fat housekeeper Li Er. Along the way, Wang Ming found that the people in the house were all a little sad, and they were stopped when they arrived here, and they were very puzzled.
"What has happened, lord of the city, I want to see him. ”
Li Er sighed, the whole person was a little uncomfortable, and in the face of Wang Ming's questioning, he could only speak.
"Leader Wang, Madame has a difficult birth, and the city lord is accompanying Madame. ”
What, Wang Ming was full of surprise, Madame died, what could be. He knew the feelings between the city lord and his wife, and the departure of his wife was a huge blow to the city lord.
Ten years ago, the two of them came to Stone City according to each other, and the city lord obeyed his wife's words and never objected to his wife's opinion. Moreover, the lady is well-read, kind, weak-minded, and gentle to her subordinates, and is extremely affectionate with the city lord, and her feelings are envious of others.
Wang Ming himself has seen his wife many times, and he knows that his wife has always been in good health, but he suddenly died in childbirth.
Time passed quickly, it was getting late, and the stars were shining faintly in the night sky. Wang Ming didn't know how long he had been waiting, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to wait, he knew that the city lord must be more sad and sad than him inside.
The courtyard was trampling, stamping, and the sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer and closer from afar. A figure walked out of it, and it was the city lord.
There was no trace of expression on the city lord's face, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Ming, there was no emotion in his eyes, and his cold voice sounded, "What's the matter." ”
Wang Ming thought back to what had happened today, and thought about the words in his mind, what should he say? Such a strange thing, would the city lord believe what he said?
"City Lord, a strange thing happened in the city today, the sky that was originally clear at noon suddenly became dark clouds and thunder shone brightly. I was afraid that something would happen, and I received your order, so I sent the city defense army to maintain law and order in the city, who knows, it didn't take long for them to disperse, and it was very strange. ”
Wang Ming reported to the city lord what happened today, and he still didn't understand why it changed when he said it changed that day, and dispersed when he said it.
"Nothing happened. ”
"Not for the time being, there were no casualties, just chaos in the city for a while. ”
"Well, go down and rectify it well, whoever dares to take advantage of the chaos will be killed directly. The city lord's voice carried a hint of murderous aura, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
Kill directly, Wang Ming wants to persuade the city lord a little, doing so will cause dissatisfaction. But thinking that Madame had only left today, and the city lord was on fire, he opened his mouth, and he still forgot it.
"The subordinates retired. Wang Ming bowed to the city lord and left.
The city lord looked at Wang Ming's departing figure, thinking about what he said about the automatic dispersion of the dark clouds. Today, the dark clouds covered what he saw with his own eyes, and the coercion was extremely powerful, and the oppression made him feel extremely depressed. But why all of a sudden, it dispersed? This strange thing happened in the city, and I don't know what the impact will be.
"City Lord, do you want to go and see the Young City Lord. A maid interrupted his thoughts, and an expression appeared in the eyes of the city lord, as if he liked it, but also as if he hated it, and nodded.
The maid hurriedly led the way, came to a room, and pushed the door open. The city lord silently followed behind and walked into the room. Looking up, a baby boy was lying on the bed, a little chubby face, and his mouth was unconsciously open, a little cute.
The city lord looked at the child and was silent. He and Liu Lan have been together for ten years, and they have never had children, and they once suspected that they were sick. Liu Lan is pregnant this year, and both of them are very happy, thinking that God has opened their eyes and made them happy. Who knew that today it would be separated by yin and yang, and it would become a farewell.
The lord of the city picked up the child and touched the child's face. "From today onwards, you will be called Li Tian, and I will have a future Li Lin. ”
Li Lin looked happy and smiled, with a hint of discomfort in his laughter, after all, this was his wife Liu Lan in exchange for her life, and when she saw the child, she thought of Liu Lan. Thinking of the happy days of the past has now become an unattainable luxury.
The next day, Li Lin personally hugged Liu Lan and put it in the coffin, watching the coffin lid slowly close, and Liu Lan's appearance gradually disappeared. Li Lin felt very uncomfortable and empty.
The funeral procession walked slowly in the city with the coffin, and the whole city was watching, and there were many people who had received the favor of the city lord, wearing mourning clothes, standing quietly on the side of the road, sending the city lord's wife on the last journey.
The funeral procession was silent all the way, and slowly walked out of the city with the coffin, heading to the top of the highest Mochizuki Mountain outside the city. Walking all the way up the mountain, the team walked very slowly, and it was just after noon that day, when they reached the top of the mountain.
The scenery here is beautiful, the trees are shady, the insects and birds are chirping, there are some flowers and plants growing around, there is a spring not far away, and the water flows into a clear small stream that flows slowly.
"Lan'er, you said that your favorite thing is to stand on a high place and watch the moon and stars, this is the highest mountain around. Li Lin's voice carried a trace of tenderness, and he whispered softly, "As for Tian'er, don't worry, I will definitely bring up our child well, let him be happy and worry-free, and teach him well." ”
Kneeling on the ground, stretching out his hands to caress the coffin, his eyes were full of love, his head rested lightly on it, and he was silent for a long time. The people around him watched Li Lin's behavior and didn't dare to disturb him, so they had to stand quietly aside.
"City Lord, it's almost time, and it's time to be buried. ”
Li Er came behind Li Lin, stretched out his hand, and helped Li Lin up.
was buried, Li Lin saw that the coffin was gradually buried by the soil, and wanted to stretch out his hand to keep it, but he slowly shrank back, and after a while, a brand new tomb appeared in front of Li Lin.
"City Lord, engrave it" Wang Ming stepped forward with a sword and handed it to Li Lin respectfully. Li Lin picked up his sword and slashed it at the tombstone.
"The Tomb of Beloved Wife Liu Lan" is engraved with two small characters "Li Lin" at the bottom. After carving the words, he put down the sword weakly in his hand, looked at the tombstone, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Lan'er, goodbye.
"Go back, I'll sit here for a while and accompany Lan'er. Li Lin waved his hand and motioned for the rest to go back first. He wanted one to stay.
"City Lord, you ......"
"Go back, I'll be alone. Before Li Er's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Li Lin. Seeing that Li Lin's attitude was so resolute, he was helpless. Li Er bowed, and could only take everyone down the mountain, hoping that the city lord could think of something and recover as soon as possible.
Li Lin sat in front of the grave, sitting quietly, stroking the tombstone with both hands, and there was no one behind him.
A muttering voice sounded, as if to say something. The voice is low and lost, full of sadness, and heartbreaking.
It's just a pity that it's too quiet, no one knows what it's talking about, and when the wind blows again, the sound goes away with the wind and drifts in the air......
