Chapter 376: Volcanic Calamity (II)
Yan Ziyue walked to Xiao Yan's side, hugged him, and whispered in his ear: "Yan, don't worry, you will be fine, just sleep, maybe sleep a little longer, when you wake up, maybe I can't be by your side, but I will turn into a star to guard you." ... Flame, I love you... I truly love you as much as you love me. It's just that I haven't said it because of... It's because of my weakness, I can't guarantee to give you the happiness you want, so I don't dare, but who thinks, the more I don't want to hurt, the more I hurt deeply. Flame, our child, I have a good name, my name is Xiao Jue, Jue'er, do you say okay? ... I can't accompany you back to Xiaojing, so I'll accompany you back instead of me, I believe you will be a good father. ... Flame, I'm sorry, I relied on your favor for me to lied to you so many times, although you are very angry, but I know that you don't really blame me, you will always forgive me, right? ... Also, An Ying originally had a fate with you, and I should say that I took her place and said sorry to her for me. I can see that she truly loves you, and I hope that in your future life, you can have someone by your side, give you warmth, and make you not lonely."
Xiao Yan listened, his heart had turned into a twist, as if he wanted to use all his strength to hug Yan Ziyue, but his body did not obey the call, and it became heavier and heavier.
"Flame, you have to live well, forget me! I owe you a debt in this life, I can't pay you back, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely pay you back", Yan Ziyue finished speaking and dropped a light kiss on Xiao Yan's thin lips.
Xiao Yan struggled with his eyes open, looking at the sadness on Yan Ziyue's face that he had never felt before, tears silently crossed his cheeks, so beautiful that his heart was broken, and he was fixed in his sight.
The door was squeezed open, An Lu and the others had already crowded outside to listen, they were all moved, and after coming in, they looked at Yan Ziyue holding Xiaoyan and crying with pear blossoms and rain, and their hearts were even more unpleasant.
Yan Ziyue hurriedly packed up her emotions, looked at An Lu and said, "An Lu, the flame will be handed over to you, and Jue'er will also entrust it to you."
"Your Highness Yue...", An Lu only felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he didn't know what to say.
"Ghost Witch, you must make sure that Flame is alive and well."
"Your Highness the Moon... Don't worry, I guarantee with my life, Your Majesty will be fine."
"Hmm... Thank you."
Nangong Yu led people to chase the official road in the direction of Donglong City for a day and a night, and he didn't see half a figure, so he knew that he was wrong, so he quickly turned his horse's head and rushed back.
In Baiwang City, Nangong Yuda heard about the courtyard of the master of Baihui Hall, so he rushed over with people, and happened to see the scene in the courtyard, Yan Ziyue holding the child and saying goodbye to An Lu and others.
"Yue'er...", Nangong dismounted and ran to Yan Ziyue's side.
"Nangong pardon...", Yan Ziyue watched Nangong pardon come to his side, looking at his bloodshot eyes and tired face, he must have been worried about it, and he couldn't help but feel guilty in his heart.
"The North Sea... I'll hand it over to you", Yan Ziyue reluctantly handed the child to Beihai.
"Yue'er... What are you doing here..."?
"Your Highness Yue, don't worry, I will definitely protect the little prince with my life."
Yan Ziyue signaled Nangong Yu not to stop him.
"Hmm... Thank you, Beihai. An Lu, you guys go quickly, take care", Yan Ziyue said and threw herself into Nangong Yu's arms, not daring to look at the child and the flame in the carriage again.
"Your Highness the Moon... Take care", An Lu motioned for Beihai to enter the carriage, then jumped into the carriage, waved his whip vigorously, and galloped away.
Listening to the sound of the carriage getting farther away, Yan Ziyue pulled Nangong Yu's clothes and cried loudly, unable to cry.
"Yue'er...".
"I'm fine, I'm really fine...", Yan Ziyue looked at Nangong Yu and said while tears rained down.
"Yue'er...", Nangong Yu looked at Yan Ziyue like this, and her heart was so distressed that she couldn't do it, when she found that there were blood marks on her arms, and when she learned that she cut flesh to save Xiao Yan, her heart was broken.
Nangong Yu hugged Yan Ziyue and rode a horse together, and walked towards Fengdu, along the way, Yan Ziyue was silent and silent, Nangong Yu saw it in his eyes, and every time he wanted to open his mouth to comfort, he didn't know what to say.
After entering the palace, Nangong Yucai asked, "Yue'er, I'll send it back to the platform to rest first."
"No need, let's go to the Imperial Palace."
Yuce Palace, Yan Li has been waiting for a long time, and when he heard that Yan Ziyue was back, he stepped forward.
"Yue'er, you're back"!
"It's... It's not done".
"That's what I'm talking to you about."
"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue turned her head to look at Nangong Yu, and was about to speak, but Nangong Yu took the lead and said: "Yue'er, in fact, I have already noticed it, so don't hide it from me anymore, okay?" No matter what the outcome, I will face it with you and bear it together."
Zhan Li glanced at Nangong Yu and understood what he meant, so he persuaded: "Yue'er, just tell Nangong to go down, there are some things, he will be easy to do."
Yan Ziyue looked at Nangong Pardon and thought for a while before she arrived: "Nangong Pardon, I won't tell you because I'm afraid that you will worry, I...".
"I know, I don't blame you", Nangong Yu looked at Yan Ziyue with a pampered face, not half angry.
"Hmm... Thank you, Nangong pardon".
Yan Li said that he was in trouble now, and motioned to Yan Ziyue and Nangong to consider it.
"Yue'er... I think about it, and tell the people of Fengdu truthfully, of course, we will let the people have confidence in us, believe that we can solve it, just need their cooperation."
Yan Ziyue lowered her head and thought about it, hesitating.
"Yue'er... I agree with what the high priest said, and I believe that the people of Fengdu can understand. Yue'er, what is terrible is not the disaster, but the unknown".
"Nangong pardon...", Yan Ziyue looked at Nangong pardon and smiled slightly, and suddenly felt that she was superficial, and even though the bad result was terrible, the unknown worry was even more cruel.
"Hmm... Well, do what you say."
"Hmm...", Zhan Li and Nangong Yu looked at each other and smiled, at this moment, the three of them faced each other together, relying on each other, and they had more courage and confidence.
The purple sycamores in the palace are at their most splendid at this time.
Yan Ziyue and Nangong Yu walked in the purple sycamore forest, from time to time the breeze blew, the sycamore flowers fell, Yan Ziyue stepped forward, stretched out her hand to catch one, turned to look at Nangong Yu, smiling face Shenghua, reflecting the sunshine, everything is so beautiful.
"Brother Nangong... Come and see this".
Nangong Yu took a closer look, the two flowers in Yan Ziyue's hand bloomed side by side, the color of the flowers gradually changed, the petals were light, and the center of the flower was slightly red, which was very good-looking.
"Brother Nangong, I miss the cherry blossom garden of the Great Simei Palace a little bit, and the small courtyard of the firewood gate where we lived in the Death Temple."
"Yue'er... I'll stay with you as long as you want."
"No, it's good to have something in your heart".
"Yue'er...".
"Brother Nangong, I'm sorry."
"No, Yue'er, don't say I'm sorry, between you and me, we don't need to say this, we just need to trust each other."
"Hmm... Brother Nangong, it's good to have you"!
"Yue'er... If we are still alive after the disaster, can you not be a princess, nor will I be a major general, let's take Ling'er and Lei Yunting and go to the end of the world?" Nangong Yu said, talking about Yan Ziyue and taking it into his arms
"Hmm... Okay", Yan Ziyue still didn't dare to tell Nangong Yu that she was destined to die in this disaster and had no future.
"Brother Nangong, I mean if, if I die, you have to live well, you have to raise our Ling'er to grow up, and Yan Fengyi..."
"Yue'er... No ifs, no ifs, I'll go wherever you go, I'll always be with you."
"Brother Nangong...", Yan Ziyue looked at Nangong Yu, moved, warm, and felt so happy.
Nangong pardoned Yan Ziyue tightly, his chin rested on her head, and he was helpless and painful in his heart, not without feeling, but guessed that this time the volcanic disaster would inevitably lose Yan Ziyue, but he didn't want to face it, otherwise, Zhan Li would not have that expression.
On the official road leading to Donglong City, the carriages of An Lu and the others were moving slower and slower, and everyone was thinking about it repeatedly in their hearts.
"An Lu, are we really going like this?" Nanshan slowed down and walked beside An Lu
"Otherwise, what else"?
"The Lord regards His Highness Yue's life as more important than his own life, what do you think will happen if His Highness Moon really has any accidents, what will happen when His Highness wakes up?"
"I don't need you to say it, I know it."
"An Lu, let's go back", Beihai lifted the curtain road.
"No, we can't put the Lord in danger, and besides, His Highness Moon also wants the Lord to live well."
"But if His Highness Moon dies, the heart of the Lord will also die, and living like that must be more painful than death," Beihai said, tears about to fall.
"An Lu...", Nanshan Road.
"Huh...", An Lu stopped the carriage, jumped down and said: "Beihai, Donglai, ghost doctor, ghost witch, you four take the little prince to go first, I and Nanshan, Xifeng take the lord back to Fengdu."
"I'll go with you," said the witch, dismounting, and jumping into the front seat of the carriage.
"An Lu, you must protect the Lord", Hokkaido.
"You're crazy," muttered the ghost doctor.
"An Lu, we are waiting for you in Donglong City", Donglai said.
"Okay...", An Lu responded, jumped into the carriage, and whipped away.
On the sixth day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the 77th year of the fire phoenix, early in the morning.
Under the arrangement of Nangong pardon and Zhan Li, the people of Fengdu began to go out of the city one after another, without panic, without fear, they all traveled lightly, just like traveling or visiting relatives, and they were firm in their hearts that they would be able to come back as soon as the disaster was over.
"Nangong pardon, the fire phoenix will be handed over to you in the future", he left the road.
"It's all handed over to you, I just want to accompany Yue'er, life and death."
"Nangong pardon...", Zhan Li looked at Nangong pardon Xu and went, and then said: "If Yue'er knows, she will be sad."
"No, how can people be sad when they die? I'm only afraid that Yue'er will be lonely, and with me with her, I won't be lonely."
"You... What about Ling'er? You are his father, are you going to make her an orphan without a father or mother"?
This sentence of Zhan Li poked Nangong Yu's soft heart, and his eyes flashed with pity and reluctance of fatherly love.
"Nangong Yu, you not only have Ling'er to raise, but also Lei Yunting, he is still unconscious, and the Nangong family, your father, your mother, your brother, you are responsible for them, how can you care about nothing?"
"I...", Nangong Yu was speechless for a while.
"Yue'er, she won't die, she just went back to the world she belonged to, maybe she will come back one day."
"Really"?
"Of course, I'm the High Priest, and I can see the future."
"You're not going to lie to me, are you?"
"Do you want me to lie to you"? Yu Li turned around and glanced at Nangong Yu and walked away.
At the gate of the palace, the carriage of King Kang's Mansion stopped, and Yan Moyu saw Yu Li and Nangong Yu coming, and stepped forward angrily: "Li, aren't you going to explain to me?"
"I...", I don't know where to start.
"High Priest, do you need my help"? Nangong Yu asked.
"Ahh Well... Uh...".
Seeing this, Nangong Yu walked up to Yan Moyu and said, "His Royal Highness King Kang, I'm sorry", as soon as the words fell, a hand knife knocked Yan Moyu unconscious, and said to Steward Luo: "Send His Royal Highness King Kang out of the city."
"Yes...", Steward Luo looked at the two of them, helped Yan Moyu to get into the carriage, and drove away.
Zhan Li looked at Nangong Yu with a surprised look on his face and said, "You, who did you learn from?"
"Yue'er...", Nangong Yu said, and walked away with a natural expression on his face.
On the sixth day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the 777th year of the fire phoenix, in the evening.
Yan Ziyue finished handling state affairs early and went back to the palace to see the children.
"Meng Niang, Hongsu, Lei Yunlin, why haven't you left yet"?
"Princess, I don't worry about you".
"Fool, just come back after tomorrow."
"But...".
"Don't do it, let's go! Lei Yunlin, you hurry up and take Hongsu away, and Lei Yunting, you help take care of it first."
"Your Highness, Yun Ting is my younger brother, I should naturally take care of him."
"Yue'er...".
"Aunt Meng, you go with them, and after tomorrow, I will ask Nangong Yu to pick you up."
"Ziyue...", Yan Fengyi and Chi Nu came in.
"Why haven't you left yet"?
"I'm not leaving, I'm staying with you".
"No, you stay, you can't help, you better leave quickly", Yan Ziyue said and looked at Chi Nu and said: "Chi Nu, Princess Fengyi will be handed over to you, you have to ensure her safety, and I will return to the palace tomorrow!"
"Ziyue...".
Yan Ziyue stepped forward and hugged Yan Fengyi, and whispered in her ear: "Fengyi, Huofeng and Nangong pardon, I have handed them all over to you, don't let me down!"
"Ziyue...", Yan Fengyi looked at Yan Ziyue in a daze, a little confused.
"Okay", Yan Ziyue took the little princess Ling'er from Meng Niang's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go."
At this time, Nangong Yu happened to come back, glanced at everyone, walked to Yan Ziyue's side, looked at the little princess in her arms, and persuaded: "Yue'er, let Meng Niang and Hong Su take Ling'er away first"!
"No... Ling'er is with us for the time being, okay?" How could Yan Ziyue not know Nangong Yu's thoughts, so she thought about handing over the child to Nangong Yu before dawn, for the sake of the child, Nangong Yu would definitely not do stupid things, with Nangong Yu's ability, it was more than enough to keep Ling'er safe.
After all the people left, the hazy platform was as quiet as water, empty, Nangong pardoned Yan Ziyue and Ling'er in the palace, quietly enjoying the happiness of this moment, counting the minutes and seconds passed.
At midnight, Zhan Li rushed to the main altar of the Xianyue Volcano to wait for Yan Ziyue, and by the way, he inspected it and found that the water in Bitan had dried up, and there was only a bottomless geography, and there was a gurgling sound from time to time.
As soon as the time arrived, Yan Ziyue arrived with the child and Nangong Amnesty.
"Yue'er...", Zhan Li greeted him.
"Leave...", Yan Ziyue said and looked in the direction of the top of the Xianyue Volcano, where there were already clumps of red clouds.
"Leave, it's not safe here, you should leave quickly!"
"Yue'er, don't worry about my business, I have my own place to go."
"Okay then", Yan Ziyue smiled slightly and looked at Nangong and said, "Brother Nangong, Ling'er will be handed over to you."
"Yue'er..., Ling'er and I are here waiting for you to come back", Nangong Yu said a little choked up and wet his eyes.
"Brother Nangong... In this life, it's good to meet you", Yan Ziyue couldn't help but throw herself into Nangong Yu's arms, Nangong Yu hugged Yan Ziyue and the child, and her heart ached like a knife.
Outside Fengdu City, An Lu and the others stopped the carriage, and the city gate was closed, so they couldn't enter at all.
"What to do"? Nanshan asked.
"Let's go, go to the Great Altar," An Lu said, turning the carriage around and heading in the direction of the Moonmoon Volcano.
In the Temple of the Afterlife, Master Wuliang and Wuji stood side by side on the peak, looking at the Moonmoon Volcano.
"Wuji, have you thought about it?"
Wuji roared twice and rubbed the Infinite Master.
"Well, since you choose to sacrifice yourself to become benevolent, the poor monk will naturally be fulfilled."
Wuji listened and jumped around the Infinite Master twice.
"Don't worry, the poor monk will not let you down", Master Wuliang stretched out his hand and touched Wuji's head, looked into the distance, and read: "One flower is one world, one tree is one floating life, one grass is one heaven, one leaf is the same, one sand is bliss, one side is a pure land, one smile is one dust, and one year is pure." The impermanence of all actions is the law of birth and death, birth and death have been extinguished, and silence is happiness. Girl, when you come, you have to hold it, and when you go, I will give you relics, and it will not be in vain for our master and apprentice."
On the main altar, Yan Ziyue handed the child into Nangong Yu's hands, turned around, and was tightly grabbed by Nangong Yu and refused to let go.
"Yue'er... Don't, Yue'er, please...", Nangong Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Yue'er...", Zhan Li suddenly walked over, hugged Yan Ziyue, and whispered: "Yue'er, I love you...".
Yan Ziyue was stunned for a moment, her heart ached, she raised her hand, patted her back and said, "I know, I always knew, thank you, leave...".
"Yue'er...", Yan Li hugged Yan Ziyue even tighter, and the tears of anger slipped down and dripped into Yan Ziyue's neck.
"Leave, Huofeng will please you."
"Yue'er, I... I...".
"Promise me to help me take care of my father, he really can't bear any pain anymore."
"Yue'er...".
"Will you live well, promise me well"?
"Yue'er, you, how can you...".
"Leave, you should spoil me again, promise me"?
Faced with Yan Ziyue's request, he couldn't refuse, so he was forced to nod.
"Brother Nangong", Yan Ziyue let go of her leave, approached, lowered her head and kissed the child's forehead, and then picked up Nangong Yu's face, kissed the tears on his face, and said: "Brother Nangong, don't cry, I like to see you laugh, can you laugh and show me?"
"Yue'er...", Nangong Yu couldn't laugh at all.
"Ling'er, mother loves you... Brother Nangong, I love you... Goodbye", Yan Ziyue finished speaking, and the red feather on her back swished, like a flame, flying towards the crater of the Quarter Moon Crater.
