months ago.

Char's Moridu.

Li Yan knelt in front of the temple for three hours.

It was the height of summer, and the sun was scorching, but he still had his waist straight, closing his eyes and waiting.

Just because of this day, Li Yan has been waiting for sixteen years.

For sixteen years, he never saw his father again.

Although it is rumored all over the world, Li Li, the king of Fu, is the emperor's favorite youngest son.

Three more hours passed.

Li Li's face does not change, and he is as determined as a bell.

The light of the day has darkened, and the lamps in the temple have been held.

Finally.

Li Yan heard some small sounds, the sizzling sound of the wick burning, the rustling sound of clothes and belts rubbing, and the footsteps of someone slowly walking out of the hall and calculating their steps.

"His Royal Highness King Fu, please come here." The person who spoke had a slender tone, like a wounded chickadee.

King Fu opened his eyes and saw a plainly dressed and tall chamberlain, standing with a bow and a smile.

"Huang Shu, you're old." Li Yan got up and smiled indifferently.

"Thanks to the blessings of the emperor and His Royal Highness, I am old and strong." The old attendant named Huang Shu bowed again.

A eunuch said that he was old and strong, but no matter what, he couldn't laugh at him.

Li Yan didn't speak again, and walked straight to the inner hall, and after walking less than three or four steps, he suddenly heard a kneeling sound behind him.

"Char's future, please let His Highness take care of it."

The voice of the old waiter Huang Shu was full of spirit.

bowed his head and didn't get up for a long time.

At this time, Li Yan should have smiled wildly, without looking back, and strode forward, showing a bit of his imperial nature.

But he just paused, sighed softly, and walked away.

Along the way, there is no one else.

In front of the door of the Golden Palace, Li Yan took a long breath and gently pushed the door in.

The hall was dim, and the light was bright.

The old man on the top of the main hall shrank the person in the throne, bowed his head, and his life was already dying.

The emperor was majestic, but it still made Li Yan breathless.

"Father. Child...... It's in. Li Yan knelt down and saluted, not daring to raise his head.

"Ahem...... Heh......" The old man was angry, and asked for a long time: "You...... Which one is it, how come I have never seen it? ”

"Father! Your body...... Yuan Ember Mountain can send someone to see it. Li Yan said with concern, wanting to step forward, but he still didn't dare after all.

"Ahem......" The old man stretched out a wizened hand and motioned for Li Yan to come closer.

Li Yan then knelt forward five steps.

This is the old man's face, a dove-shaped hoof, already thin and humanoid.

This is no longer the father he loved, feared, missed, and resented.

The old man raised his eyes slightly, looked at Li Yan, and didn't know whether to recognize him, he thought for a long time, and said, "I ...... In my life, I have never cultivated the Tao for a day, and I have recited the Sutra for a day, but I have also ...... but he also ruled the country for more than eighty years......"

"But human lifespan is too short...... It's too short...... I'm afraid time is running out......"

"Before I go to that bullshit 'Bliss,' I have a few more things...... I can't let it go, so I'm calling you...... Calling you ......"

"You...... You...... Is it a child? ”

When the old man said this, he was hoarse and emotional.

Li Yan was also embarrassed: "Father, it's me." You still talk less and rest more, and the child will immediately go to Yuanyan Mountain to ask for a few elixirs. ”

"No...... No need. The old man squinted his eyes, as if he had finally recognized the person in front of him, and smiled with some relief: "You have grown up...... Yuanyan Mountain...... No need to go...... Yuanyan Mountain...... That's why I'm here for you. ”

The old man was confused, and his preface did not match the afterword, Li Yan nodded bitterly and said, "Please also ask my father to show me." ”

"That day, right here, the Heavenly Venerable Manifestation ......" the old man trembled and pointed.

"Tianzun ......" Li Li's heart suddenly tightened. After all, he still can't be calm all the time.

"Heavenly Venerable has given these things...... Tell me Char to find ......"

Li Yan looked up and saw that there were several objects on the throne, and there were several objects on the throne.

The old man motioned for him to go over and fetch it, and Li Yan hesitated for a moment, slowly got up, and approached cautiously.

Sixteen years, he has never been so close to his father.

Kneeling on the throne, Li Yan saw clearly that these things had a roster, a sea chart, and a golden small ding.

Li Yan was still hesitating, and the old man said again: "You take it back, study it, and plan it, the sooner the better......"

"Tianzun, what do you want me Char to do?" Li Yan didn't pick up anything, just looked at the old man with his eyes.

The old man wanted to struggle to get up, but Li Yan hurriedly went to pick it up when he saw that the situation was not good, and the two made eye contact.

Li Yan suddenly burst into tears in the Golden Palace.

"Father, it's been sixteen years......"

The old man's eyes were gloomy and distracted, and he continued: "Tianzun...... Saying that this is the key to my Char's thousand-year plan...... It is something above 'immortals'. ”

"Father...... Emperor" Li Yan was weeping and didn't want to listen to it anymore.

"Child, I still remember sixteen years ago, and I was also in front of this hall......"

"Father...... Don't say any more, I've forgotten all of that. ”

"Forget everything...... the old man was stunned for a while, thought for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Have you forgotten?" Have I forgotten it all? ”

"This ...... Is this something to forget? ”

Li Yan could only be silent.

Presently.

As if he suddenly thought of something, the old man laughed a few times, laughing arrogantly: "I will not forget! ”

"You're my youngest son, the favorite one."

Suddenly.

The old man's eyes were full of longing.

"Child, how I envy you, if I were twenty years younger, this thing would be mine."

"This world is mine."

The old man said stupidly, his gaze turning to the void again.

"Father's ......"

"I'm tired, you can do it." The light was gone, the breath was weakening, and the old man waved his hand again, asking Li Yan to retreat.

Li Yan didn't get up, but said in a deep voice: "I also ask my father to take back his fate, such a big thing, the child is not competent." ”

Today, Li Yan just heard that the emperor was ill and wanted to come and see him, but as for the thousand-year plan, he didn't really care at all.

He didn't expect that the emperor summoned him, and he really had something important to order.

The old man didn't care, coughed violently a few times, got up tremblingly, and groped in his arms for a long time.

"Hey, I found it." The old man seemed to return to the light, showing a bright smile.

Li Tong was stunned, he seemed to see his father when he was young, amiable and cute, he always let Li Yan sit on his lap, pretending to grope in his arms, and then suddenly took out a gadget.

Sometimes it's a toy, sometimes it's a carved puppet, and sometimes, it's a treasure that someone else worships.

And this time, it's a tiger talisman.

"Take it, it's for you."

"Think of it as a congratulatory gift for your 'enthronement.'"

The old man stretched out his hand, just like many years ago, if Li Yan didn't take it, he wouldn't stop.

Li Yan took it, and he happily stroked Li Li's back.

Only this time, he didn't ask that sentence again, don't you like it?

- Do you like it?

- Do you really like it?

Outside the temple, the torrential rain was pouring in.

After the rain, summer flowers bloom.

……

In the cave on the right, someone reminded King Fu.

"Your Highness, the front should be coming."

Li Yan's robe shook and he rushed forward.

At a glance, he saw that thing, which was placed high in the Eight Desolation Array.
