174. The Traveler's Code, the Return of the Shenwu King (Two Chapters in One - 6138 Words)
Su Linyu looked at the man and woman in front of her, she didn't know what to say, she remembered a lot of things in her life, and she also remembered the memories of wandering by the Yellow Spring, so she understood that it was these two people who went deep into the land of the dead, saved her with a secret method that she couldn't understand, and brought her back to the world.
She hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
But, a gentle force lifted her up.
Xia Ji looked at the mother in front of him, smiled, and his eyes were a little red.
But now that he is the appearance of the wind in the north and south, Su Linyu naturally doesn't know him, and he doesn't even know which force he is, so he just lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Thank you, Engong." ”
Su Tian turned around, leaving space.
Xia Ji had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it, he just took out a Su family cloak from the storage space, and said softly: "Put it on." ”
Su Linyu nodded hurriedly,
She didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of her,
I don't dare to think that this teenager is the age he seems.
Just now he stood by the void, and the appearance of a black and white wall blocking the black giant hand was still vivid.
If she were to change it, I was afraid that just the power of that giant hand would make her qi and blood sticky, and she couldn't even run.
Soon, Su Linyu put on her clothes, and she asked softly: "Engong, why did you save me?"
There is also a bit of caution hidden between the eyebrows, as well as a bit of vigilance, and a bit of curiosity.
Xia Ji said: "Happy." ”
"Happy?"
"Well, happy. ”
Su Linyu was not stupid, knowing that the person in front of her was unwilling to speak, she asked softly: "I don't know what Linyu can do for Engong?"
Xia Ji: "You don't have to do anything. ”
Su Linyu hesitated and said softly: "Can Duke Naen let me go back to the imperial capital, my poor child is still alone in the palace, and I don't know what is going on now." ”
Xia Ji said: "King Shenwu is now the great enemy of my Su family, where can he be pitied?"
Su Linyu was dumbfounded, and said, "Who is the Shenwu King?"
"Xia Ji, your son. ”
Su Linyu was stunned, just this sentence, she already understood a lot, "Engong... Are you mistaken? My kid hasn't practiced martial arts since he was a child... How could it be that the Divine Martial King was the enemy, and how could he be the enemy of the Su family?"
Su Tian coughed twice, signaling that there was time to speak, and it was time to return.
Xia Ji said: "This is the territory of the Wu family, and we came quietly. If you want to meet Xia Ji, cooperate with us?"
Su Linyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again.
Su Tian took out a lot of "Dragon Traveling Thousands of Miles" and handed them over to Xia Ji and Su Linyu.
The trio returned quickly.
Dodge traps along the way.
Finally rushed back to the Wu family manor before dawn.
When the day came, the head of the family went to confess, and Su Linyu pretended to be Su Tian because of his height and size, and then left the Wu family under the cover of the head of the house.
Then, Su Tian quietly turned back.
...
Next.
The three of them had already extravagantly used the jade pendant of "Dragon Traveling Thousands of Miles" and returned to the imperial capital.
This kind of magic weapon that escaped at a critical time was actually used to rush away, which was really extravagant.
Along the way, Xia Ji also told Su Linyu about the current situation, Su Linyu just nodded "mmmm" and kept saying thank you, but she refused to say more than half a word, after all, her son is now an enemy of the family, what if she reveals any secret and harms her son?
And when she heard that the current empress was Xia Xiaosu, she didn't have any expression, after a death, all she wanted now was to reunite with her son.
Walking through the bustling streets,
Today's emperors are not only from the Central Plains, but also from many foreigners, but both the Central Plains and the foreigners are still peaceful, because this emperor has a benevolent empress.
The stone bridge of the imperial city was already in front of him, and Su Linyu's eyes gently swept over the men and women around him, and sighed softly in his heart.
There is no such thing as love and hate for no reason.
These two people saved her, taking a big risk, and they must have a great purpose.
Now that the palace has arrived, the time has also come for Tu Poor Dagger to see it.
So, she asked again: "The two adults are kind to Linyu... I wonder what Lin Yu can do for the two adults?"
Su Tian didn't speak.
Xia Ji said: "Of course there is." ”
Su Linyu's voice trembled a little: "Please speak." ”
Xia Ji pointed to a green willow by the moat, "Stand over there obediently, let's go buy a few fruits." ”
"Buying fruit?"
"Thirsty. ”
Xia Ji turned around and left, and Su Tian also followed him and left.
Su Linyu: ...
These big people are really mysterious, and their motives are unknown, and buying fruit is not a black word that you can't understand?
After leaving, Xia Ji threw Su Tian a golden bean and said with a smile: "You can buy it yourself." ”
Su Tian was not polite, took the golden bean and threw it back, and then said, "I will consolidate the realm in the Hui clan." ”
For the rest, Su Tian didn't say a word.
She turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Xia Ji quickly walked back to the prince's private mansion before, changed back to the appearance of King Shenwu, and then walked quickly towards the imperial city.
Su Linyu came back from the underworld, and although she had eaten the pill to replenish the yuan, her body was still very weak.
At this time, she was pacing back and forth under the willow in a pretended calm.
Until, in her eyes, that familiar voice came from the riverside.
The blood connection between mother and son made her recognize the person in an instant, but she couldn't believe it, she was dreaming.
Until Xia Ji walked in front of her and called out softly, "Mother".
Su Linyu still didn't dare to believe it.
"Mother. Xia Ji shouted again.
Su Linyu snorted, his eyes red.
Xia Ji smiled and shouted again: "Mother, it's me." ”
The connection between mother and son made Su Linyu unable to suppress the emotions in her heart any longer, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She cried and threw herself into her son's arms, then choked on her vocal cords, and said quickly: "Xiao Ji, it was two people from the Su family who brought me back from the underworld.
A man and a woman, still nearby, you... You be careful.
I'm worried that they're going to take advantage of your turmoil to sneak up on you, so you have to be vigilant and not excited. ”
"Got it, mother. ”
"They say that you are the King of Shenwu, that you are the great enemy of the family, that you killed the Son of Heaven to avenge me, that you are the ruler of the northern realm in Fuyu Mountain, that you are..."
Xia Ji listened quietly, and didn't say a word more, until Su Linyu finished speaking, then he took Su Linyu's left hand with both hands like a child and said, "Mother, let's go back to the palace, now that Xiao Su has become the empress, you don't need to watch out for anyone in the palace anymore." ”
Su Linyu's body stiffened, her expression was a little bad, and she asked softly, "Xia Xiaosu, has she ever been abnormal?"
"Nope. ”
Su Linyu grabbed his hand and said, "Xiaoji, let's go to the inn first." ”
Xia Ji didn't ask why, and said obediently: "Okay, I listen to you." But I still have a mansion, if you don't want to enter the palace, let's go to the mansion first. ”
"Okay. ”
Xia Ji wrapped her cloak and put a hood on her, and he did the same.
Suddenly there was a sound of hundreds of officials scattering behind him,
Xia Ji glanced back at the direction of the palace, then took his mother's hand back to the secret mansion, and after helping her to the bed, he picked among the many skill beads, took out a few skill beads related to cooking, used them instantly, and then cooked in person, and made a lot of warm and replenishing delicacies with master-level means and brought them to the bedroom.
Su Linyu ate slowly, she was less than thirty when she died, but after wandering around the edge of the Yellow Spring for so long, the whole person showed a sense of weakness and paleness.
She quietly glanced at the bronze mirror, and her expression was a little gloomy.
Xia Ji said: "I will make it back." ”
Su Linyu nodded.
When she had eaten almost enough, Xia Ji asked, "Mother, what's wrong with Xiao Su?"
Su Linyu lowered his head and said, "I picked her up." ”
Xia Ji knew that his mother didn't want to mention the matter of the Guan family, and he didn't want to talk about the past anymore, so he pretended not to know, but said: "I tried, Xiao Su's blood and I are the same source." ”
Su Linyu hesitated, looked up at his son in front of him, and thought in his heart, "If you don't believe him, who else can you trust", and then said: "When I picked her up, she was wrapped in a blood-colored Taoist robe, crying in the ice and snow, the blood was hers."
I didn't know what to think, so I tried it with my own blood, and it turned out that I could merge with her, so I brought her back and raised her as a daughter.
Don't blame my mother, my mother couldn't help it at the time, because... The family asked the mother to have another daughter, but the mother didn't want to give birth, and as a result... And she showed up. ”
Xia Ji put on the shock he deserved, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "But, mother, haven't you always been very good to Xiao Su?"
Su Linyu said: "If you think about it carefully, when my mother is more often, do you let her stay alone, so she has developed a crying and withdrawn character." ”
Xia Ji hesitated and said: "Mother, Xiao Su is a very normal girl, I have always regarded her as a sister, and I will always be like this in the future."
Don't think about it, Xiao Su is your daughter, she has always missed you, after you left, she didn't know how many times she cried.
I won't say it, if you don't say it, it's all rotten in the stomach, okay?"
Su Linyu said: "I..."
Xia Ji suddenly said, "Where did you pick her up?"
Su Linyu's eyes flickered, her thin lips pursed, because of the agitation of emotion, and her eyes began to move back and forth, as if she remembered something.
"I..."
She looked a little unnatural.
Xia Ji suddenly understood that his sister was afraid that there was a problem, although he wanted to know the answer, but seeing that his mother was becoming more and more emotionally unstable at this time, how could a son persecute his mother?
So, he hurriedly said, "Mother, don't think about it. ”
Su Linyu: "I'm sorry, Xiaoji. Mother forgot many things. ”
Xia Ji knew that she deliberately didn't want to say it, but he didn't really want to know, he only knew that Xiao Su was his sister and his mother's daughter, and that was enough, why did he have to find out the bottom of it?
No matter how special it is, it's nothing more than a Jedi, a family, a Buddhist Taoist and a demon...
Whatever it is, so what?
It's still a bad omen, does it matter if my sister has a special background?
"Mother, you have a good rest, I will take you back to the palace, believe me. ”
Su Linyu hesitated for a while, she quietly looked at the young man in front of her, this is her son, if she doesn't believe in her son in this world, who else can she believe?
However, she suddenly asked, "Xiao Ji, how do you know that I am under the willow tree outside the palace?"
Xia Ji said: "I made a secret deal with someone, but this matter must be kept absolutely secret. When you return to the palace, Xiao Su and I will temporarily arrange a fake identity for you and wronged you. ”
Su Linyu is just strange, the two Su family members who brought her out are simply outrageous, and the owner of the family who took her out after that is her own father,
She looked at the words and found that her father was faintly listening to the words of those two, which made her feel unfathomable.
Can a son make a deal with someone of this level?
Su Linyu asked with some concern: "Xiaoji, what did you give them?"
Xia Ji casually made up a few lies.
Su Linyu listened and listened, only to feel a wave of sleepiness coming.
She lay back on the couch, Xia Ji sat on the edge of the bed and patiently talked to her for a while, until she fell asleep and did not get up.
...
After Xia Ji softly closed the door,
looked into the distance silently, as if sighing.
Then, pretending to be inadvertent, he walked out of the door of the secret mansion and headed for the palace.
...
At this time, in the middle of the afternoon, the spring sky light casts the shadows of the trees and walls on the ground obliquely.
After Xia Ji "left".
And a long time passed.
The shadow in the corner of the wall began to tremble,
A ghost figure came out of it.
Not walking, to be precise, but climbing.
It was a woman dressed in white, with pale skin and a disheveled head, covering an unknown face inside.
She got up very quickly, and her fingers were like the flippers of an animal, and she didn't make a sound.
Unless you see her with your own eyes, you can't imagine that there is such a thing here, she is like an invisible person.
She crawled along the shadows to the door of the master bedroom, and suddenly paused again, as if sensing whether Xia Ji had gone far.
After a moment, she had obviously confirmed, so she looked at the door that fell in the sunlight, her limbs moved together, and the whole person crawled over in a strange posture.
As soon as she reached the door, her head rose at a strange angle, at a ninety-degree angle to her body.
She brushed away her messy hair, stared at a blood-red pupil, and looked into the room.
- A woman was lying on the bed in the room.
- Yinjun let himself stare at this area, especially this courtyard, this is the first time he has come, right?
- Not only that, but the long-disappeared Shenwu King actually reappeared.
- Then you need to notify the Hidden Monarch and inform the family.
The woman in white finished thinking, and she carefully grabbed a scroll-like cylinder from her arms, which was the Wu family's high-level spatial magic weapon, the Curse Diagram, which was an important magic weapon given by the ancestor.
The principle of the ritual is very bizarre:
Nine living people who lived happily ever after, then sacrificed to their families, and tortured them to death in the most vicious way possible to generate resentment.
The nine grievances are combined and unified, and then the evil spirit hidden in the curse and resentment diagram itself is used to form an existence that surpasses the evil spirit, which is a curse.
The curse lingers forever in the place where he was tortured to death.
However, the Curse Diagram can contain the Curse, and the person who holds the Diagram can use the Curse to return to a fixed location with just a thought, but the Curse cannot harm the person who holds the Diagram.
This curse diagram is not only difficult and time-consuming, but also like other magic weapons, there is a consumption and interval between use, and the person who carries this magic weapon will be affected by the curse in the diagram, and become neither human nor ghost.
The woman in white decided to go back and report.
She opened the picture, and pressed her pale palms down on it.
Suddenly...
She froze.
A sharp pain came.
Then, she only felt that her right arm had been shattered.
It was a throwing knife that flew out of her palm, shattering almost all the meridians in her body.
The woman in white has obviously reached a terrible level of patience for pain,
She was stunned for a few moments, and her left hand was already pressed towards the curse map.
As long as the magic weapon is still there, as long as she presses the picture, she will immediately run away.
But, she thought too much.
The sky suddenly darkened, and several miles of black clouds turned into a vigorous shadow from afar, and the air seemed to be filled with the excitement of the Jin Ge Iron Horse at this moment, and tens of thousands of black-armored iron horses galloped across the sky, and the air flow was torn between the long fronts, and the vertical and horizontal roaring.
The woman in white only felt a chill in her heart, the original serious injury, coupled with the unknown coercive dementor at this time, made her move a beat slower.
With this slow beat, she saw the true face of the demon shadow:
It was pitch black, wrapped with icy demon smoke, a double crescent, and a halberd.
Tearing the space apart.
Turn the distance of hundreds of zhang into a few hundred feet.
Only then did she see that the fierce black halberd was in front of her.
And the next moment, the halberd pierced through her chest, and the great force carried her backwards far into the air.
At the same time, a tyrannical figure came from afar, the figure was in the air, grabbing the end of the halberd with his right hand, overlooking her, and at the same time flipping his palm, and pressing the halberd to the ground with it.
Knort!!
She had been crucified to the ground.
Xia Ji made a move with his left hand to curse the resentment map, and the album was rolled up and returned into the tube.
In the frightened eyes of the woman in white, she saw the young man in a python robe.
"People from the family?"
"God... Take..."
Xia Ji looked at the master bedroom behind him, and his mother had just fallen asleep.
So, the halberd in his hand picked it up and shot it, and the black halberd took the woman in white and shot directly into the distance.
In mid-air, the black halberd frantically absorbed the woman's essence and blood, and by the time it landed, the woman was completely dead.
Xia Ji raised his hand and sucked it, and the black halberd fell back into his hand.
"Knowing that you won't say anything, I'm not wasting any time. ”
At this time, the door suddenly opened from the inside, Su Linyu probed, and saw her son holding a terrifying black halberd in his hand, the black halberd was rising like a burning demonic energy, and the momentum around her son was like a deep sea, she was stunned for a while, and forgot to say anything.
As soon as Xia Ji's mind moved, the air flow pushed the dust to cover the remaining blood on the ground.
"Mother, I'm practicing martial arts, woke you up?"
Su Linyu: "Aren't there any enemies?"
Xia Ji smiled: "How can there be enemies? ”
Su Linyu beckoned.
Xia Ji put away the black halberd and followed her into the house again.
Su Linyu looked at him with empty eyes, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "The bright moonlight in front of the bed." ”
Xia Ji looked puzzled.
This life is this life, what do you care about crossing? The woman in front of you is pregnant with him, gives birth to him, raises him, and she will do her filial piety, and that is enough. And the mother doesn't look very reliable, and she doesn't look like a person who can keep secrets very well.
So, he asked, "Mother... You want to write poetry?"
Su Linyu said: "The big river flows eastward..."
Xia Ji: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Su Linyu said suddenly: "The Heavenly King covers the tiger!"
Xia Ji: ...
"Odd and even the same!"
Xia Ji: ...
"Where does it hurt! Dry throat!"
Xia Ji: ...
Su Linyu didn't give up, and suddenly said, "Do you from earth?"
Xia Ji: ...
He really wanted to tell his mother that instead of saying "do you", he should say "are you", and should he add "the" before "earth"?
It seems that my mother's academic performance is not good.
But he didn't say anything, with a confused expression on his face from beginning to end.
Su Linyu's face was stunned, and he muttered, "Isn't it a golden finger?"
Xia Jiqi said: "Goldfinger, what kind of magic weapon is it? Mother, why are you weird?"
Su Linyu groaned slightly, "It's because my mother thinks too much." ”
Immediately, she became worried again, leaned closer and whispered: "Xiaoji, you tell your mother honestly, you didn't practice martial arts when you were a child, why are you suddenly so strong?"
Xia Ji said solemnly: "Hatred, make me stronger." ”
Su Linyu: "But this is too strong, right?"
Xia Ji said: "Mother, people's potential is infinite. And the child has some adventures. ”
So, he told the story made up by others that "King Shenwu is nothing, he just received an empowerment inheritance from Leiyin Temple", and told it again with emotion.
Su Linyu knew that this world was magical, she listened to the flicker, and felt that the logic was smooth, so she nodded and went back to sleep.
Xia Ji thought about it and was not at ease, so he took another string of Rulai bracelets and gave it to her, and then went out, his eyes coldly swept the direction of the woman in white.
...
The next day, in the afternoon.
Xia Ji took a carriage and took Su Linyu into the palace.
The palace guards only knew that this Jianghu myth had been cultivating, so they were not surprised to see him coming from outside, and they knelt down one after another, shouting respectfully: "I have seen the Shenwu King." ”
The carriage entered the palace and then into the harem.
This is the prerogative of King Jimmu.
In the palace, he and the empress were the only two hundred people who had no taboos.
Xia Ji took Su Linyu's men and got out of the car and stopped outside the arch of the imperial study.
He glanced at his mother,
Su Linyu's eyes flickered a little, and he didn't want to see this picked up daughter.
Xia Ji squeezed her hand, and Su Linyu nodded.
At this time, the door of the imperial study opened, the empress in the golden dragon robe walked out, Su Linyu also took off her hood, mother and daughter looked at each other, Xia Xiaosu suddenly cried, although she had heard what her brother said yesterday, she still couldn't believe it, and threw herself into her mother's arms at this time.
Su Linyu also found the feeling of being a relative at this moment, she gently rubbed the empress's hair, and said gently: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Xia Ji smiled when he saw this scene, this is the home he wants.
...
A few days later.
He sat back down in the chamber, clutching the curse in his hand.
In the days when he got along with Su Tian, he had a better understanding of magic weapons and the world.
If it had been before, he would never have recognized it, but now he not only knows it, but also knows how to use it.
This kind of evil magic weapon is really mad, and there is no humanity at all, which makes him have murderous intent in his heart.
"The woman in white should be the Wu family,
The reason why she monitors the mansion,
It should have been Natsuhime who asked her to do this.
Xia Ji and Prince Gu Chen are brother and sister, and it is not surprising that she knows the existence of this mansion, and monitoring this mansion may be an opportunity to take back the masks of the rest of the mansions.
From another perspective, Natsuhime probably knew about my alliance with the Prince, and since I disappeared for so long, she must have wanted to get more information by casting a wide net.
After all, she is now the hidden monarch of the Wu family. ”
Xia Ji was wearing a python robe, thinking cross-legged in the quiet room, for a long time, there was light in his eyes, and when he looked at the curse picture again, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed down on this picture.
No matter where this exit leads...
Wu family, I'm here.
