Chapter 47 The events of the past have been settled, and the future is still unknown
"The first time I met your biological father was twenty years ago."
"At the Lantern Festival that year, I fell in love with the woman who accompanied your biological father at a glance. I thought she was the daughter of the Yun Shangshu family, so I ordered Yun Guifei to enter the palace, but who knows, the woman is not her. β
Chu Li asked at the right time: "That woman, what is your face?" β
The old emperor shook his head and looked at the foggy sky as if nostalgic: "It's been too long, I can't remember it for a long time." I only remember that she was dressed in white, like a fairy, and a touch of flowers between her eyebrows made her otherworldly and not stained with dust. β
Hearing this, Chu Li had basically determined the identity of the woman.
It is nothing more than her biological mother, who has been missing for many years.
"After Concubine Yun Guifei entered the palace, I forced her to ask her who the woman was that day, and she only said that she had always been by Feng Xuanwei's side that day, and there was no one else. At that time, Yun Shangshu was still powerful, and I had no way to take Yun Guifei, so I could only let her stay in the palace. More than nine months later, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, which were Shen Cuo and Shen Yu. At first, I thought it was my child, but then the national teacher said something that completely woke me up. β
Chu Li asked, "Do you know the origin of the national teacher?" β
"He was in the palace during the reign of his father, and all the emperors of the past admired him, and I was no exception. It's just that twenty years ago, the national teacher seemed to be a different person, not only revealing the matter of the monk to me in private, but even putting me on the path of cultivation. He asked me to keep the lives of Yun Guifei's mother and son, and said that he would use them to find two people. β
"After all, there are two more unfavored princes and princesses in the palace, and they will be raised. Until ten years ago, I accidentally bumped into Yun Guifei having a private meeting with Feng Xuanwei on the top of the city tower, I don't know what they were talking about, I only saw Feng Xuanwei hand over a piece of phoenix pattern jade pendant to her. And that jade pendant is the one that the woman once wore on her waist. β
"Yun Guifei has teased me for ten years, she just knew who the woman was that day, she just lied to me and said she didn't know. I climbed the tower, snatched the jade pendant from her hand and pushed it down from the tower, and ended her life with my own hands. It's just that the jade pendant seems to recognize the owner, and as soon as it falls into my hands, it is extremely hot, and I have no choice but to hand over the jade pendant to the national teacher, wanting him to see what this jade pendant is all about. β
"The national teacher kendo jade pendant was extremely excited, so I gave this jade pendant to Shen Cuo, and asked Shen Cuo to use the blood moon moon to irrigate it, saying that this can eliminate the jade pendant's ability to recognize the master, and told me that this jade pendant hides the secret of immortality. I believed it, but because of Yun Guifei's deception, I didn't want her children to have such a good time. β
Chu Li quietly clenched the hilt of his sword: "So you connived at those princes to do something to Shen Cuo and Shen Yu, but you were reluctant to accept their lives." β
Speaking of everything in the past, the old emperor seemed to be relieved: "Actually, now that I think about it, it is actually obvious whose kind Shen Cuo and Shen Yu are. Yun Shangshu has always been friendly with my undead imperial brother, and he wants to use this move to confuse the royal bloodlineβ"
"Poofβ"
The long sword entered his body, and the old emperor looked at the sword that had submerged into his lower abdomen in disbelief, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells: "You ......"
"Mortal soldiers, they can't kill you." Chu Li indifferently pulled out the long sword in his hand again, and inserted it into the old emperor's body again, "You should take responsibility for the suffering in this life." β
"Li'er, stop."
It wasn't until he heard Gu Chenyuan's words of prevention that Chu Li was willing to throw away the sword in his hand angrily.
"That national teacher has a connection with the Nine Souls Palace, and he made a heart demon oath, when I pressed him, in order not to violate the heart demon oath, he used a secret method to burn Shouyuan, and now he is dead." Chu Li pretended to be calm and walked to Gu Chenyuan's side, "Master, let's go back, okay?" β
Gu Chenyuan looked at Chu Li steadily: "If you can't restrain your killing heart, then you don't have to learn the Qiongming Sword Technique." β
Chu Li awkwardly avoided Gu Chenyuan's gaze: "Master, I'm just ......"
"I have a way to save her life."
Chu Li was slightly stunned: "Tell me...... And saved? β
"Her soul is damaged, and she naturally cannot enter the underworld for reincarnation with normal methods. But if it is nourished by soul nourishing wood, it may not be impossible to get a glimmer of life. Gu Chenyuan turned his hand and conjured a dark piece of wood from his sleeve, and a green leaf hung down on the wooden body, full of vitality.
The soul-nourishing wood was originally used to nourish the primordial spirit, but now it is used to maintain the soul of a mortal, which is really a tyrannical thing. The heavenly and earthly treasures that can work on the primordial gods are all sought-after existences in the immortal cultivation world, and this piece of soul cultivation wood in Gu Chenyuan's hand is still a secret realm that has been deep for a long time, and it took nine deaths to find it back.
It's just that the deceased has passed away, and even if this soul nourishing wood is left in his hands, it is useless.
Chu Li didn't understand the preciousness of this thing, so he only knelt at Gu Chenyuan's feet, and said in a fixed voice: "Please save her life!" β
Gu Chenyuan looked at the top of Chu Li's hanging head and was silent for a long time.
After a while, Gu Chenyuan took out her mutilated soul from Shen Yu's body and returned it to the soul cultivation wood.
"In a few years, or more than a dozen years, her soul will be restored, and then she can go to the underworld to be reincarnated." Gu Chenyuan bent his fingers a little, and the old emperor's vitality was completely cut off, and his primordial spirit was shattered.
Chu Li was shocked that Gu Chenyuan would take the old emperor's life, and he was happy that Shen Yu's life was saved, so he could only call out in a sneering voice: "Master, ......"
"This human world is not a place where you and I can stay for a long time." Gu Chenyuan looked at the sky, and a light cyan token appeared in his palm at some point.
I saw him throw the token into the sky far away, and in an instant, a fierce blue light shot straight down from the sky, forming a pillar of light and falling beside Chu Li and Gu Chenyuan.
Gu Chenyuan solved the spell on Shen Cuo's body, and the proverb spat lightly: "Today's change in front of the palace, the first emperor was stabbed to death by your sword, your sister accidentally died at the hands of the forbidden army, and Qingli died with the national teacher." You have never seen me, nor have you known the words of the monks, but you know that from now on you are the only monarch of this kingdom. β
Shen Cuo's eyes were blank, and he muttered Gu Chenyuan's words: "I stabbed my father to death with a sword, my wife accidentally died at the hands of the forbidden army, Qingli died with the national teacher, and I don't know the words of the monk, from now on, I am the only monarch in this country......"
The pillar of light that led out of the realm had arrived, and Chu Li took a few steps closer to Gu Chenyuan with a complicated expression, and completely left the human realm with the blue light.
The few months in this human world are just a dream for Chu Li after all. She got what she wanted, and also dug out part of the truth back then, knowing that her parents didn't leave her for no reason, but just ......
Why does she always have a sense of loss?
She didn't believe that her father really died as early as the national teacher said, but these clues in the human world did dissipate with the death of the national teacher.
The name of the Nine Souls Hall was like a bone appendage, firmly rooted in Chu Li's heart, cruelly disintegrating her originally happy family.
My grandfather died, my parents had no choice but to abscond, and now Shen Yu was killed.
Even when he forced his grandfather to leave the sect and Xue Ji died, it was because the Nine Souls Hall was unwilling to stop.
Demon monk, he deserves to die.
Chu Li thought secretly in his heart, and his eyes were full of resentment.
The blue light dissipated, and when the scenery around him settled, Chu Li was already in the immortal cultivation realm.
The familiar breath came to his face, and Chu Li couldn't help but close his eyes and take a long breath. When her eyes opened again, she had returned to normal, and although her expression was still indifferent, she no longer had the resentment she had before.
"There is a teleportation array here that can go directly to Wangzhou, you can return to the sect by yourself."
"The master does not ...... with the apprentice"
Before Chu Li's words fell, Gu Chenyuan's figure had disappeared. Chu Li knew that this time, she was afraid that she would really upset her master.
