7. Ten Thousand Years Love Mantra

In the thatched house, Xiao Yu's grandfather was lying on the bed, and he was about to die.

Xiao Yu and the old ape came in from outside, and when they saw their grandfather's appearance, they couldn't help but be surprised, and quickly rushed to the bed, and shouted, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

When Grandpa saw Xiao Yu coming in, he grinned, waved his hand hard, and motioned for Xiao Yu to help him up.

Xiao Yu carefully helped his grandfather up, raised the back, and let his grandfather lean against him.

Grandpa took Xiao Yu's hand and asked, "I haven't been back for two days, where have you gone?"

Xiao Yu said: "I went to the competition with the old ape, and I competed for two days in a row, and I didn't tell a winner or loser, so I will continue to compete tomorrow." ”

The old ape said on the side, "Yes, tomorrow we will continue to compare." ”

Grandpa nodded, looked at Xiao Yu, and said, "Xiao Yu, grandpa is about to die." ”

"Grandpa, don't say that, grandpa won't die, Xiao Yu won't let grandpa die. Xiao Yu hurriedly interrupted his grandfather's words.

Grandpa lovingly stroked Xiao Yu's hair, smiled and said, "Silly boy, people will always die, this is the law of nature, no one can escape." Speaking of this, he suddenly coughed violently a few times, feeling that his life was about to end, and he needed to finish as soon as possible, so he said: "Xiao Yu, you are not allowed to interject now, listen to me finish my words with peace of mind." ”

Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you say." ”

"I'm not your grandfather. Grandpa said.

"Grandpa..."Xiao Yu still couldn't help it.

Grandpa raised his hand gently, signaling him to listen at ease, and then said: "My name is Ji Dongfang, I am a servant of the Jicheng Palace, I have never married in my life, and I have no children and no daughters. Sixteen years ago, Queen Jicheng gave birth to a baby boy, named Ji Chengyu, and the milk name Xiao Yu, it is you. ”

Grandpa looked at Xiao Yu, sighed softly, and then said: "The queen gave birth to a baby boy, and she is the future lord of Jicheng, and the whole country celebrates." The king was pleased, and granted amnesty to the whole world, gave relief to the victims, and released the prisoners. Who knows that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, since you were born, there was a sharp sound in Jicheng every night, surrounding the Wangcheng Pan clan, like crying and laughing, like the wind passing through the ears, which is intimidating. Rumors spread in Jicheng for a while, saying that there must be an ominous thing or an ominous person born in Himejo, which is about to bring disaster to Himejo. A few days later, dozens of girls in Jicheng who were born with you actually got lost their souls and became fake deaths, and everyone in Jicheng was in danger for a while, and rumors spread even more, and your name was mentioned. The king and queen were very anxious, ordered the sorcerer to deal with the matter, and sent people to find a way to stop the spread of rumors, but it was difficult to stop the rumors, not to mention that your father was a generation of masters, and he was a great politician, and he was like a son by the people, and he would never force the people to shut up by killing. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Dongfang coughed again, Xiao Yu was about to pour water, Ji Dongfang took his hand and said, "Don't go, I'm going to... I'm going to finish it with you. ”

"Grandpa. Xiao Yu screamed sadly, feeling very distressed.

"Jicheng's doctor is named Lu Shen, this person is extremely pedantic, his thinking is different from ordinary people, his actions are illogical, he claims to ask for the people's life, and he is straightforward in everything, which really makes your father feel a headache, but he is very popular with some officials and people. After hearing about this, Lu Shen found a Jianghu warlock named Hu An from Hu Guo to inquire about the matter. Hu An set up a platform in the royal city, did three days of rituals, and explained to the people of the city that all this that happened in Jicheng was because of you, saying that you are the body of the Mandate of Heaven and are destined to be lonely all your life. Lu Shen believed that it was true, so he persuaded him to die, so that your father and the king put the overall situation first, and asked the king to kill you on the sacrificial platform to save the lives of thousands of women in Jicheng. ”

Ji Dongfang stopped, closed his eyes, took a few breaths, then opened his eyes, and continued: "The king and queen naturally don't believe it, but the people's wishes are hard to disobey, so they quietly asked the wizard of Jicheng to inquire. Yu Nuo told the king that what Lu Shen said was true, you were entangled in love in your previous life, and you provoked a love curse for 10,000 years, which is indeed the body of the Mandate of Heaven. The wizard and the king have a lifelong friendship, so naturally they will not deceive the king. The king inquired about the way to crack it, but the wizard just shook his head, saying that if he planted evil causes in his previous life, there will be evil consequences in this life, and there will be no way to solve it unless there is a coincidence in the future. After getting confirmation from the wizard, the king had no choice but to agree to the request of Lu Shen and the people in order not to mess up Jicheng, and three days later he beheaded you on the sacrificial platform, and you were not yet half a year old at the time, and you were still in infancy. At this point, there was another fatal cough, and he held back stiffly, and then said: "The night before you were beheaded, your queen mother called me into the harem, and she knew that I had no relatives and no cause, no children and no daughters, and even if I committed the crime of destroying the door, I had no relatives to suffer. He gave me a task, let me take you out of Jicheng, hide as far away as possible, raise you, and never return to Jicheng. ”

Ji Dongfang's hand suddenly became a little stiff, and his body became a little stiff, and he said hurriedly: "Xiao Yu, you are already sixteen years old, I seem to have heard the heart-rending cry of you and your queen mother sixteen years ago, but fortunately, you have grown up, you can... I can take care of myself, I finally didn't... If you live up to the Queen's entrustment, you can rest assured... Death..."At this point, Ji Dongfang's eyes closed, and his head tilted back.

"Grandpa. Xiao Yu was already in tears, fell on the bed, hugged Ji Dongfang's body tightly, and cried. But no matter how much he called, no matter how sad he was, Ji Dongfang would never open his eyes again, and the life of a faithful servant had come to an end in this dilapidated thatched house.

Xiao Yu and the old ape buried Ji Dongfang behind the thatched hut together, and piled a big mound, and the ape man also had feelings, watching Xiao Yu shed tears, and wiped his eyes, although there were no tears in his eyes.

Xiao Yu kept watch in front of his grandfather's grave for three days and three nights, during these three days and three nights, he thought about a lot of things and made many decisions, and the most important decision he made was to go back to Jicheng, he wanted to go back to see his father and mother.

Although his father wanted to kill him, it was forced by Lu Shen and the people, and it was not his father's intention to kill him, and he should not hold a grudge against his father.

Xiao Yu was very grateful to his queen mother, if she hadn't let Ji Dongfang take him out of the royal city, he would have died when he was less than half a year old, he missed his queen mother very much now, and wanted to see her and tell her that he was still alive.

On the morning of the fourth day, Xiao Yu got up from the grave and prepared to leave.

Xiao Yu took one last look at the grave, where lay the greatest benefactor in this life, who gave him a second life.

It was precisely in order to protect him that Ji Dongfang would leave the palace, give up his superior life, and go to this barbaric place to raise a baby who was still in swaddling clothes, with hard work, Ji Dongfang has suffered hardships and sins, Xiao Yu believes that he can't think of it anyway, in the sixteen years that he raised himself, Ji Chengyu firmly believes that Ji Dongfang must have shed a lot of tears, including tears of happiness and tears of hard work.

Xiao Yu has nothing to repay this kindness, and he will never have a chance to repay it again.

Because, Ji Dongfang is dead.

But Xiao Yu believes that Ji Dongfang doesn't need his repayment, and only hopes that he can live well.

Xiao Yu felt very lucky, fortunately he came back in time, so that Ji Dongfang could have the opportunity to finish what he wanted to say, and when he died, he was by his side. If Ji Dongfang died lonely because he didn't come back because of playfulness, he didn't have a chance to say what he wanted to say, and there was no one to accompany him when he died. Not only did Ji Dongfang not turn a blind eye, but he would not forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Xiao Yu has to have an explanation with the old ape.

For Xiao Yu's safety, Ji Dongfang took him to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and secretly lived in an inaccessible place. Xiao Yu has seen many people in many places, and according to Ji Dongfang's requirements, Xiao Yu never dares to talk to people outside. This is the place where they live, but no one has ever visited.

Xiao Yu's friends, only the old ape.

From the age of three, the old ape has been with him, Xiao Yu has no childhood partner, and the old ape is his only one. It was the old ape who accompanied him through childhood and into youth. Xiao Yu didn't dare to imagine what his childhood would be like without the old ape. Because of the old ape, his childhood was extremely happy.

For more than a decade, they have been inseparably together, playing together, running together, and growing up together. For more than ten years, teaching the old ape to speak and do things was what Xiao Yu did the most in a day, because he seemed to have nothing to do except do it. Although the old ape is still in a state of ignorance, there are many things that he can't understand, and there are many words that he can't understand, but he can communicate with people without too many obstacles.

Finally, the time to part.

Xiao Yu stood in front of the ape-man and looked up at it, feeling very reluctant. said, "Old ape, I'm leaving, you stay and accompany grandpa." ”

The old ape seemed to feel that something was wrong, and said with an unhappy face: "I don't, I'll go with you." ”

Xiao Yu said resolutely: "No, I want to go to a place where humans live, they won't like you, and they will kill you as a monster." ”

The old ape flashed the muscles on his arm again, and said, "I am strong, not afraid." With you, I'm not afraid. ”

Xiao Yu's heart was extremely painful, knowing that it would be difficult to convince the old ape, so he hardened his heart and said loudly: "Why can't I tell you that I can't understand? You can only live in the mountains and forests, and you can't go to the castle." Humans don't like you, they have swords, bows and arrows, and if they want to kill you, it's easy, you can't save yourself, and I can't protect you. Suddenly remembered what Ji Dongfang had told him, and said sadly: "I can't even protect myself." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, walked a few steps, turned back suddenly, pointed to the old ape who was following behind, and said, "You are not allowed to follow me, if you follow me again, I will beat you." ”

The old ape said, "If you beat me, I will follow you." Its pitiful eyes made Xiao Yu feel extremely distressed. He knew that the old ape had been with him for more than ten years, and he had already regarded himself as a relative and could not do without.

Xiao Yu walked up to the old ape, held its huge hand, and said, "Old ape, be obedient, stay with grandpa, you and I are gone, he will feel lonely." I promise, I will come back from Himejo as soon as possible, accompany you, and don't go anywhere. ”

"You lied to me. The old ape's eyes were hazy with tears.

Xiao Yu suddenly cried and said, "Old ape, don't force me, I don't want to leave you, but I miss my father and mother very much, and I want to know what they look like." ”

The old ape stretched out his thick palm, wiped away Xiao Yu's tears, and said, "Xiao Yu doesn't cry, I'll stay with grandpa." ”

Xiao Yu still resolutely turned around and walked out along a path in the jungle.

The old ape followed behind, all the way to the distance. Xiao Yu never looked back, he knew that if he looked back again, he would cry like a tearful man, he had grown up, and he could no longer shed tears without moving.
