"Hey!"

Su Heng sighed, everything in the dark has a certainty.

He took a step forward, and the wind was surging all around.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Daokan Mountain, and soon came to the Zhongzhou Daming Palace.

Taihe Temple.

This is the residence of the Queen.

On weekdays, it is quiet and peaceful, but at the moment, a large number of people have gathered outside, and the atmosphere seems quite depressing.

In this group of people, there are princes and nobles, as well as famous martial arts masters.

Just go out and have one.

Stomping your feet can make the world tremble.

The most important thing is that the current emperor Zhu Hongwu is also here.

He was now nearly seventy years old, gray-haired and emaciated.

Decades have worn away the youthful spirit, and all that remains is gloom and majesty.

From the son of a farmer to the founding emperor.

Zhu Hongwu's life can be regarded as a legend.

But all the way.

There is a lot to gain, but there is also a lot to lose.

And to this day, the last trace of his warmth will leave him.

"Brother Su."

Seeing Su Heng appear, the rest of the people were taken aback.

Only Zhu Hongwu was very calm, turned around, and nodded slowly at him.

"How's my sister doing now?" Su Heng asked.

"Not so good." Zhu Hongwu replied, "Her body has become weaker and weaker in recent years, and she has contracted a cold, so she is not willing to accept the treatment of the imperial doctors. Zhu Biao and Xiaoxian and I persuaded her, but it was useless. ”

Saying,

Zhu Hongwu's nose twitched slightly.

There were cloudy tears in his eyes, and his face was full of helplessness.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Xian were also waiting outside.

In the past few years, it has basically been the crown prince Zhu Biao who has been handling government affairs, coupled with the fact that his mother is seriously ill and under great pressure, he looks more and more obese.

Even if you walk on a daily basis, you need someone to take care of it.

My breath trembled up and down.

Two or three chin stacked on top of each other.

"I've seen my uncle." Zhu Biao has always been very respectful to Su Heng, and when he saw Su Heng, he hurriedly pushed away the attendants beside him and bowed down to him.

outcome

Halfway through.

I almost didn't come up with a breath.

"You'll have to take care of yourself, too." Su Heng was helpless, and stretched out his hand to inject a piece of blood qi into Zhu Biao's body.

The crown prince was able to breathe normally, he wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "Let my uncle smile." ”

"Master."

Zhu Xian bowed his head towards Su Heng, which could be regarded as a greeting.

Twenty years have passed, Zhu Xian has also completely grown up, and he is wearing a plain white dress at this time, with tears on his face and slightly red eyes, obviously he has just cried.

She is extremely talented.

Plus Su Heng's personal teaching.

Today's Zhu Immortal is almost one of the strongest martial artists in the world except for Su Heng, not inferior to those immortals at the beginning.

"I'll go in and have a look." Su Heng first reached out and touched Zhu Xian's head.

Then he said to Zhu Hongwu.

He came to the Taihe Temple.

There is no superfluous decoration in the clean and tidy hall, and it is very simple.

It's hard to imagine that this is the bedroom of the mother of a nation.

The bitter smell of the herbs was like mist, and inside lay a wizened old woman on the bed.

"Why do you bother?"

Su Heng sat cross-legged on the ground, stretched out his hand and gently held his sister's wrist, "I can save you, you don't have to suffer like this anymore." ”

"Ah Heng."

Su Ping's face was emaciated, and his arms were thin like dry wood.

After hearing the voice, she opened her eyes with some difficulty, turned sideways, and looked at Su Heng with gentle eyes.

Continue.

She shook her head with some difficulty.

"That's enough."

She spoke softly but firmly, with a touching ease on her face: "Enough is enough." ”

"I'm content in this life, ahem." Su Ping gasped, but still said with difficulty, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the principles of heaven in the world, so why not be satisfied." Death is a part of my life..."

"Zhu Xian and Zhu Biao miss you very much."

Su Heng paused, looked at his sister's white-haired face, and after a slight pause, he continued to speak, "I miss you too." ”

"I've worked all my life, and the kids have grown up. In the end, let me be a little willful. ”

Su Ping stretched out his hand.

It seemed that he wanted to touch Su Heng's cheek.

But when her hand was stretched out in the air, she had already begun to fall weakly.

Bang!

Su Ping's slender wrist landed in Su Heng's palm.

It's very light, it's light, but it's also very heavy.

"Empress Xuetian!"

The shrill voice of the eunuch echoed in the Taihe Palace, and the current saint, the prince and princess, and then the civil and military officials were all crying, and the cry was like a wave, sweeping the entire heavenly capital. Hundreds of people walked on the streets, wearing linen and filial piety, weeping incessantly, and some even knelt on the ground and coughed up a little drop of bright red blood.

The distant wind swept past the city walls, and the city was white.

Tick!

Taihe Palace, a tear flowed from the corner of Su Heng's eyes, and he couldn't speak to himself for a long time.

He now has the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth.

But if Su Ping was unwilling, Su Heng chose to respect her thoughts.

——

In the blink of an eye.

Another year has passed.

Su Heng went to see another of his deceased.

This is Ningzhou, Wukui Mountain.

When Su Heng had just crossed over, he was here to collect medicine for a living.

At that time, although he had a talent for eating immortals.

But it can't play its strength at all.

It's hard work every day.

The money earned is not enough for the family to eat and wear, and it is even more necessary to save money to practice martial arts to guard against the rest of the medicine pickers in the mountains.

Tremble with fear.

Even when he faced the immortals at the beginning, he may not have the danger and hardship that came during that time.

There used to be many strange beasts in Wukui Mountain.

But decades passed.

Except for a few cunning and clever people who are still living in the mountains, the rest have disappeared.

The Zhengxian Jue spread within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the strength of the entire martial arts world increased rapidly.

And these strange beasts remained in place.

was directly hit by dimensionality reduction.

As a large number of warriors collected resources from alien beasts, these alien beasts that had survived thousands of years also attracted the extinction of their own species.

Today

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the number of alien beasts is getting smaller and smaller.

The scenery in the deep mountains and old forests is gradually revealed in front of people, as long as the season is right, you can go to play, and you don't need to worry too much.

The same is true for Wukui Mountain.

Su Heng returned here again, quite a feeling that things are wrong.

Decades have passed, and the scenery has not changed much, but has become much quieter.

A few gray-haired rabbits lay on the ground, chewing on verdant blades of grass with their three-petaled lips.

Follow the mountain trails.

Su Heng went all the way forward and came to the depths of Wukui Mountain.

Beyond a lush forest, the scenery suddenly opens up. On the cliffs, a white waterfall cascades down, mist bursts, and the sunlight reflects the sunlight to form a rainbow in the lush shade, and the air is filled with fresh and transcendent water vapor.

The stream is babbling, all the way down.

Not far away is a sunny green meadow.

There is a beautiful bamboo building on the meadow, and the vegetable patch full of various fruits and vegetables is surrounded by a fence, and even the fence is covered with green grape plants. The breeze blows, and the white petals fly with the wind, and it looks beautiful.

"Woohoo!"

An earthy yellow pastoral dog found Su Heng's traces and barked at him.

Wait for Su Heng to take a step forward.

The pastoral dog grabbed his tail and ran away, very spineless.

Crunch!

It seems to hear movement from outside.

The door of the bamboo building was pushed open, and a woman with gray hair and plain clothes walked out of it.

Her waist was slightly rickety, but the expression on her face was calm, serene, and smiling.

When she looked in the direction of the pastoral dog.

The smile suddenly froze.

Under the sun.

Su Heng's burly figure stood silently, looking at her calmly.

"Qingwu..."

Su Heng opened his mouth and said, vaguely seeing the appearance of the former girl on the person in front of him.

Soon after Su Ping and Zhu Hongwu got married and left Daokan Mountain, Shang Qingwu also said goodbye and came to Wukui Mountain to live in seclusion.

Su Heng came to visit several times.

has always sent someone to take care of him secretly, but unfortunately, Shang Qingwu has never been willing to meet him over the years.

Nowadays -

In a blink of an eye, thirty or forty years have passed, and the years have flown by.

Although Shang Qingwu has practiced in his body, it is just a very ordinary martial arts, and he will inevitably age.

But the expression on her face was calm, and there was no pain after the red face withered.

It's not like it used to be.

has been avoiding Su Heng.

Laugh at!

Heat a pan wide with oil.

Freshly picked vegetables from the vegetable garden are placed in the pot.

Shang Qingwu stir-fried twice, happily busy, and soon prepared a table of dishes for Su Heng that were full of color and flavor.

Although they are all vegetarian dishes.

But the taste is so good that it makes your finger feel appetizing.

Shang Qingwu wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat opposite Su Heng, poured him a cup of tea, and then smiled and said, "The coarse tea and light rice in the mountain, please forgive me for entertaining such a great god as you." ”

"It's already good."

Su Heng smiled and said, "For me, the most important thing is not the food, but the person who cooks. ”

"You're still the same as before, the same as before."

Shang Qingwu looked at Su Heng.

Finally, he smiled freely and shook his head.

"Try this, the greens are the freshest at this time." Shang Qingwu sandwiched a chopsticks and chili peppers and fried vegetables into Su Heng's bowl.

Su Heng tasted two bites.

Then he said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that such a young lady as you could be so good." ”

"In decades, you have to learn something, don't you?"

Shang Qingwu tilted his head.

replied with a smile.

Although his face is no longer young, he still talks as usual.

"I've been wanting to ask you a question all these years." After the five flavors of the dish, Su Heng suddenly spoke.

Shang Qingwu raised his head.

After thinking about it, "Why did you suddenly leave the mountain of Daokan and come here to live in seclusion?" ”

"Hmm."

Su Heng nodded.

"You're the best in the world, and there's too much pressure on your side."

Shang Qingwu seemed to be joking with Su Heng, and he also seemed to be answering very seriously, "I feel out of breath, suffering from gains and losses, what if one day you don't look down on me." It was only at this point that I realized that I had lost myself......

You're good, and you're good to me.

But in the final analysis, when people come to the world, they have to live for themselves. ”

Su Heng was silent.

He thought about many reasons, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"I'm sorry."

After a long time, he spoke to Shang Qingwu.

"There's nothing to apologize for." Shang Qingwu smiled and said, "It's me who is willful, you have always been kind to me." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to get out of Ningzhou at the beginning, and I would already be a pile of dry bones on the side of the road, let alone later. ”

"How are you all these years?" Su Heng took a sip of tea.

Only then did I find that honey was added to it, and after it was cooled, the taste became even better, and it was penetrating.

"It was tough at first..."

Shang Qingwu raised her head, as if she was reminiscing about the past, she said, "At that time, I was bent on finding a paradise to live in, but it was so difficult to get there first. I don't know how to cook, so I can only pick wild fruits to feed my stomach. The house that I had built was blown away by the wind, and I cried for a long time..."

"However, I am always a martial artist, although I am not as powerful as you, but it is no problem to slowly adapt to the environment."

Shang Qingwu said with a smile, "After that, I learned to select materials and build beautiful bamboo buildings. He also learned to graft fruits and vegetables, fertilize the land, and raised bees, picking half of them every autumn for them to keep. This honey is my treasure, you need to drink less......"

Every time she finished saying this.

He laughed with Su Heng.

Su Heng laughed, leaning forward and back, he hadn't been so happy for a long time, "You just said that I was your life-saving benefactor, how could you entertain your benefactor like this." ”

"The sage also said that only women and villains are difficult to raise..."Shang Qingwu said unreasonably.

So, when you have a lot of things, you have to gain and lose, and it's very difficult to feel happy again. But when you have nothing and you don't have enough to eat, happiness is very simple and pure. ”

Shang Qingwu looked up at the grape trellis hanging above his head, "It's really fast, more than thirty years have passed in a blink of an eye." ”

Su Heng originally wanted to leave with Shang Qingwu.

But this moment he knew.

No longer needed.

She lived a good life, happy and comfortable.

It's really him who has a bad life, he already has everything that people dream of, and even the whole world can be held by him one day.

But Su Heng was still unhappy.

His contemporaries were slowly moving away, and he was getting more and more lonely.

Martial arts was brought to the pinnacle by him, even if he had a comprehension against the sky, he was unable to advance, and it was pitch black in front of him.

And the Yuan Shi Tianzun -

A hundred years later, there was still a battle, but Su Heng couldn't see any possibility of victory.

If he loses.

His existence will be completely erased.

His masters, relatives and friends, and his disciples and juniors will be completely purged, just like the former Wu clan.

The immense pressure, pain, and unspeakable despair took his breath away.

The person who really needs to be saved is not Shang Qingwu.

It's himself. (End of chapter)
