Volume 1 Return Journey Chapter 073 Nangong Xiao
Five thousand years ago, the palace of Yunchu Kingdom, when the blood moon was in the sky, the red eyes were scorching, but it was still drizzling, such a celestial phenomenon was rare for thousands of years, and the whole country was in turmoil. And Nangong Xiao hurriedly entered the palace at this time, took his Tianmen Nine Calculations, and broke into the imperial study with a coercive force.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Emperor Gaozu of Yunchu Kingdom, Nangong Lei, was surprised and put down the imperial pen in his hand, got up and walked towards him.
"Brother Huang, it's not a good thing. Today, I have a feeling in my heart, divining the fortune for this dynasty, and the results show that after 5,000 years, one of the descendants of the descendants will fall in love with the Philip, and the tribe will come to kill him. Nangong Xiao's face was pale, and there was a flash of horror in his eyes.
"What?" Nangong Lei didn't need to ask more, so that he could see in his expression that this would be a great disaster for Yunchu, but he hated that he had no cultivation quality and could not have a long life, otherwise he would have to stop all this, so he said: "Is there a way to crack it?" β
"There is no way to crack it, and this is only the beginning, the real disaster is in their daughters, the hexagram shows that their daughters will embark on the path of cultivation, and one day in the future will avenge this blood vengeance, causing the anger of the Philip, and this dynasty will be destroyed."
Nangong Xiao's voice fell, Nangong Lei involuntarily took a step back, this dynasty was obtained by him with all his might, but now he was told that he could only stand in this world for five thousand years, in this mirror fantasy continent where the strong are respected, five thousand years is just a flick of a finger, such a short dynasty, I am afraid that no one will remember it, how can he be willing?
"Brother Huangβ" Nangong Xiao stepped forward to support him and looked over worriedly.
"Brother Xiao, how can I be willing? Is there really nothing that can be done at all? β
"I have thought about it for a long time, and I think that the only way is to pass on this matter, and the descendants of Nangong are not allowed to fall in love with the demon clan and intersect." Nangong Xiao said helplessly.
"You and I are alive, this kind of regulation can still have some effect, after a hundred years of you and me, after so many years have passed, through so many people's mouths, is it really still useful?"
"I don't know this, I can only say that I am at the mercy of God."
"Nope! It must not be like this, that is, it cannot exist for thousands of years like the Flying Star Country, and my Yunchu must exist for at least 10,000 years, otherwise in this world, the Yunchu that I have worked so hard to build will be like the sand and stone that is low into the dust, and it will not stand anyone's attention, so I must at least leave traces and let the world know that there was once a country named Yunchu. Nangong Lei said extremely unwillingly, the more he said, the brighter his eyes became, and the persistence in it made Nangong Xiao a little frightened.
"Butβ"
"Come with me!"
Nangong Lei didn't wait for him to finish his words, he took his hand and entered the inner hall, lifted the brocade quilt on the bed, there was a bulge at the end of the bed, and he pressed it lightly, and a passage appeared.
"Brother Huang, are you going to use a secret method?" Nangong Xiao looked at him in surprise.
"Yes! You and I both know that the ancestor of the Nangong family once met a master and left a secret method, saying that this secret method can extend the life of a person in the Nangong family, which is a thank you for my Nangong family's help to him, and now I will use this secret method on you, no matter how long your life will be extended, you just need to remember your mission. β
"Good! Since the royal brother has an order, I will obey it! Nangong Xiao's complexion changed, and then turned to a determined color.
"I know that although this secret method can prolong life, but it needs to pay a great price, if I can, I would rather use this secret method on my body, rather than this person is you, but you have the Nine Calculations of Tianmen, and if there are any changes in the future, you may use this to solve the disaster for Yun Chu, and I have nothing, so this person can only be you, understand?" Nangong Lei clutched his shoulders tightly, his eyes shining and helpless.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, I understand!"
*******************************************************
The blood moon didn't know where to go leisurely, and the stars were twinkling, like a pair of scrutinizing eyes, staring at the white-haired Nangong Xiao, causing his already stiff body to tremble constantly, and beside him stood the unwilling, hateful Cui Yichu, in the past five thousand years, he had thought of various ways to hinder the love affair between Nangong Qiaomu and Bai Miaokong, but the two of them were too deep, and they still came together, he wanted to kill the two, but after all, he couldn't do it, and although the secret method extended his life, it also made him pay a heavy price.
With no other choice, he tried his best to let them live in secret, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Bai Miaoyun, so he had the misery later, leaving Nangong Tiansha, he looked at everything as a hexagram, and wanted to kill the baby girl in front of him, but he never thought that she was born not long ago and actually smiled at him, that smile was innocent and clean, without the slightest blood, but made him feel happy and warm, so he couldn't kill her, and couldn't help but protect her many times.
However, he also made a plan, if one day she really wanted to take revenge, then he would fight with his life to stop it, but what he didn't expect was that when he calculated her future direction, he actually showed a death hexagram, and not long after, the soul card he made with her essence blood shattered, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he was inexplicably sad.
But this sadness has not dissipated, the broken soul card has healed again, leaving an obvious crack, he was greatly surprised, I don't know why, I want to calculate carefully, but no matter how he calculates, there seems to be a layer of fog in front of him, he can't see clearly, and he can't distinguish it.
Until one day more than two years ago, the crack on the soul card disappeared, and he calculated again, and finally saw the truth - she was reborn and lived in this world as a different person. He didn't know if it was good or bad, and he didn't know if she remembered who she was in her previous life, and he didn't know what kind of path she would take in this life.
So he has been waiting, waiting for her arrival, so he waited, he looked at Cui Yichu in front of him, he had long since lost the ugly appearance of his previous life, only these eyes were as bright as stars in his previous life.
"Back then, Bai Miaoyun called, killed your parents, and slaughtered half of the city, have you ever thought that after revenge, Yun Chuguo will still be there?"
"What? What if you're not there? After all, I don't have the slightest affection for this place. Cui Yichu said without the slightest emotion, and there was cold and bloodthirsty in his bright eyes.
"Don't forget, your father was the crown prince of your country, he loves this country, he loves everything here, if this place ceases to exist because of your revenge, will you have the face to see him?" Nangong Xiao panted and sighed, unwillingly persuading.
"If he asks, I will tell him that after his death, the people in this country almost killed his daughter, and if he still blames me for ignoring Yun Chu, I can't help it, I am worthy of my own heart!" She raised her eyes, her emotions were not as excited as before, but the hatred was even stronger, which made Nangong Xiao beside her tremble.
Ahem cough - cough cough cough -
He coughed violently because of this, Cui Yichu frowned, but seeing that his old face was covered with death, and the hand covering his mouth had bright red blood dripping, she said slowly: "What are you?" β
"I shouldn't have lived so long, I have been breathing for so many years, and I haven't been able to complete the task entrusted by my brother, and now I'm leaving, and I don't know what kind of face to see him." Nangong Xiao looked at the night sky with sadness and loss on his face.
"Brother Huang?" Cui Yichu was surprised.
"Yes! You all say that I am a palace person, in fact, I am Nangong Xiao, the younger brother of Gaozu, in front of you, I should be regarded as your ancestor, hehe! After living for so many years, I didn't do what I should have done, and I did a bunch of things that shouldn't have been done, do you think I have lived all these years in vain? He whispered to himself, tears on his wrinkled face as he walked through the ravines and landed on his palace clothes, but they were soaked in a moment.
Cui Yichu looked at his dead air and unwillingness, silently listening to his slow chatter and sadness, at this moment she suddenly felt his pain and sorrow, she thought that maybe she could help him, so that he could hold his head up in front of Emperor Gaozu.
Bang β
Nangong Xiao's body turned into a pool of blood, Cui Yichu stood in place, looking at the blood on his hands, and found for the first time that it turned out that killing people sometimes brought not pleasure, but wordless sorrow.
"Nangong Xiao! Ancestor! I hope that with this catastrophe, you can go to see Gao Zu with a clear conscience, I, Cui Yichu, never kill innocent people, you are the first and will be the only one. β
She suddenly got up, faced the stars in the sky and went straight into the distance, seven days later left the Yunchu Kingdom, opened a cave on an unknown mountain thousands of miles away overnight, and entered it to start a crazy cultivation.
The next day, she walked out of the cave with the rising sun, shuttled through this mountain forest non-stop, and soon encountered a half-step spirit beast of the colorful tiger, she fought with her bare hands, fought with it, only used a very small amount of aura, until dusk, the tiger was killed.
She turned around and returned to the cave, and the experience gained through the death battle made her practice significantly improved, and then she began to practice the Taiyi Condensing Divine Technique, with the previous understanding, this time the practice had a direction, and it took three days and three nights before she successfully entered the condensation form, but it was only preliminary, and the condensed soul was almost invisible.
"Although I expected that this exercise would be difficult to practice, I never thought that it would be so difficult, but being able to have the practice of cultivating the soul is a great opportunity, and this matter cannot be rushed for a while, but this practice is still too slow."
Cui Yichu muttered, then walked out of the cave, looked at the barren mountain range not far away, and rushed straight over.
And not long after she left, two figures appeared on this hill, they stood in the air, and the figures disappeared in one step, and then they appeared in her cave, and the two of them dispersed, carefully searching for something in the cave, and finally nodded with satisfaction under each other's eyes, and disappeared again.
At this time, Cui Yichu was fighting with the fierce beasts in the barren mountain range, originally she didn't want to come here, after all, this place was extremely dangerous, even she didn't dare to go deep easily, but now in order to speed up her cultivation, she had to choose to come here to work hard, she believed that people can only stimulate unlimited potential on the verge of death.
