Chapter 185: The Past
Early the next morning, in the courtyard of the Ocean Inn.
Lei Wuji walked out of the room, stretched, and yawned, "Brother Ming, Xiao Se, why did you get up early in the morning." Lei Wuji rubbed his hazy eyes. Slowly walked to Yang Ming's side.
"Come and sit, I just bought it for breakfast, and eat it while it's hot." Yang Ming patted the stone bench beside him and motioned for Lei Wuji to sit down.
Lei Wuji saw that the expression on Xiao Se's face was a little serious, so he asked curiously, "Why are you talking about it, Xiao Se, is there something wrong?"
"Let's eat first." Yang Ming took a bun and handed it to Lei Wuji.
"Okay." Seeing that Yang Ming refused to speak, Lei Wuji had no choice but to eat steamed buns.
As everyone arrived, Yang Ming slowly spoke, "I know something about King Langyu, but before I say it, I want to ask." As he spoke, Yang Ming looked at Twilight Yumo: "Yumo, how much do you know about this?"
"Me?" Twilight thought for a moment and said, "I didn't know much about it, and I remember that Su Duyu went to Apocalypse City at that time. According to the news he brought with him, Li Xinyue led people to rob the Dharma field at that time, but unfortunately King Langyu finally killed himself here, and Li Xinyue was also seriously injured at that time. After that, she was rescued, and it didn't take long for the news of her death in Kenshin Tsukasa to spread the news."
"I only know so much, at that time, the dark river was still in the latent stage, and I didn't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes." Twilight Ink sighed slightly.
"Mother, sheโ" Lei Wuji's emotions were a little excited, "Grandpa didn't even tell me."
"Lei Wuji, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn." Tang Lian patted him on the back and said comfortingly.
"I know, but what's going on here?" Lei Wuji was a little excited.
"Ugh." Yang Ming lay down and sighed: "Lei Wuji, you sit down first, I'll talk about the matter."
Lei Wuji let out a long sigh of relief: "Brother Ming, you say."
"This has to start with the edict of the former emperor." Yang Ming glanced at Xiao Se, "You should know about this."
"The edict of the former emperor clearly stated that my father ascended the throne, what is there to say." Xiao Sehu said suspiciously.
"You are only half right, at that time, the emperor left a total of two wills, one in the hands of King Langxi, and the other in the hands of Emperor Mingde." Yang Ming said: "At that time, the former eunuchs did not want to guard the tomb of the former emperor, so they supported King Langyu and offered the throne in exchange for allowing them to continue to hold power."
Hearing Yang Ming's words, Xiao Se's face was a little solemn: "The Emperor Ancestor once ordered that the eunuch must guard the tomb for the former emperor and not interfere in the affairs of the court, but I didn't expect them to ......."
"Now you know why I said something about Turbidity." Yang Ming said: "At that time, he snatched the edict from Emperor Mingde, and the name of King Langyu was written on it."
"If he had read out the contents of his will in public at that time, then King Lang Yu would have become the heir to the throne as a matter of course."
"Wait." Xiao Se asked, "Are you saying that the contents of the two wills are different?" But why did the Emperor do this?"
Yang understood him: "Then I have to ask the person who gave the order, how do I know."
After a pause, Yang Ming continued: "At that time, King Langyu and Emperor Mingde also knew about the former eunuch, and King Langyu decided to let Emperor Mingde inherit the throne."
"It's just that the Four Guardians of the Apocalypse didn't know about it. King Lang Yu finally killed himself in the Dharma field, and it was all of his own volition."
"Brother Ming, are you telling the truth? My mother died in vain." Lei Wuji was shocked, he didn't expect this to be the result.
"That's exactly what happened." Yang Ming said solemnly, "But your mother doesn't regret doing this at all. If it was King Langyu who ascended the throne back then, the former eunuch would inevitably be unfavorable to the four guardians of the Apocalypse. Your mother and King Lang Yu are doing this to save more people."
"Huh." Xiao Se sneered, "It's really for the sake of righteousness, I don't care about anything."
"Perhaps, he felt guilty too." Yang Ming patted Xiao Se, "What I'm going to talk about later is about you."
"You ran away back then
Out of Apocalypse City, it was indeed Yan Zhantian who attacked you on the way, but after you fell unconscious, the White Tiger, one of the four guardians of the Apocalypse, arrived and repelled him. However, the matter did not end there, the former eunuch Xun Qing secretly made a move, destroying your hidden veins, and then the White Tiger fought with him for dozens of rounds, and finally lost the enemy, and the White Tiger was seriously injured as a result."
"Master, heโ" Xiao Se's face tightened, with both hatred for Xunqing and guilt for his master on his face.
"That's pretty much it." Yang Ming slowly stood up: "I tell you, I don't want you to take revenge, but let you take the will of your predecessors to protect the common people in this world."
"Now that the power of the underworld has been born, once they succeed, the whole world will be ruined and the people will be miserable."
"We see." Xiao Se and several people said in unison.
Xiao Se's fingers gently patted the stone table, and there was something else, he was a little unclear: "Then what does this matter have to do with Luo Qingyang?" Will he go to Apocalypse City to help Xiao Yu?"
"His affairs have to start with the incident of the Demon Sect's Eastern Crusade more than ten years ago, and this matter is also related to Wuxin." Yang Ming said.
Xiao Se stood up suddenly: "How could it be?"
"Concubine Xuan, you should know." Yang Ming said lightly.
"I know, she is Xiao Yu's queen mother." Xiao Se nodded, "What does this matter have to do with her!"
"Concubine Xuan's mother, Yi Wenjun, she is the junior sister of the lonely sword immortal Luo Qingyang. Moreover, Luo Qingyang has been alone in Muliang City for more than ten years, just to wait for her." Yang Ming said.
Twilight Yumo was taken aback: "Yang Ming, what you said is true!"
Yang Ming nodded and continued:
"Not only that, Yi Wenjun was also the wife of the big devil Ye Dingtian, and Wuxin is her son. And Ye Dingtian led a group of sects outside the realm to invade the Central Plains Martial Arts, just for her, Yi Wenjun!"
"Therefore, Luo Qingyang will definitely go to Apocalypse City, his sword moves are almost completed, and there is only one opportunity left to break through the Divine Journey Xuan Realm."
Sikong Qianluo slapped the table hard: "This ***, it's really shameless." It was because of her more than ten years ago that the Central Plains Martial Arts suffered heavy casualties."
Xiao Se said in a deep voice, "So, Xiao Yu and Wuxin are brothers?"
Yang Ming nodded: "Luo Qingyang is still Xiao Yu's father-in-law, if he goes to Apocalypse City, the purpose is not only to pick up Yi Wenjun, it is very likely that he will help Xiao Yu."
"I say this to tell you that Apocalypse City is a must-go, but in the face of so many masters, I may not be able to stand alone. So think about it."
Xiao Se was the first to say, "I will definitely go."
"I'm following Xiao Se." Sikong Qianluo echoed.
"I want to avenge my mother." Lei Wuji shouted loudly.
"Such a good thing, how can it be without me." Twilight Yumo chuckled.
"Don't forget, I'm your senior brother, if I don't go, won't I be laughed at by you." Tang Lian smiled slightly.
Yang Ming said loudly, "Okay, when the trip to Nanjue is over, let's enter the Apocalypse City together."
