Chapter 21: The grave is buried with people who will never be seen again
"Chen Wunian, living a life without thoughts and thoughts, carefree, is a good name. It's just that she is too persistent, she has been extremely poor all her life, and it is not enough to find a lifetime. ”
On the stone table, Qin Lan pillowed her cheek with her hand, looking at Xia Yuan's gaze, a little stunned.
"With a sword in hand, it is already a river and a lake when you go out. This person can do that real thoughtlessness, from ancient times to the present, there are only a few people. ”
Xia Yuan stood up and walked to the stone pavilion, he raised his eyes to look at the sparkling lotus pond, his eyes were gloomy.
In this world, who doesn't want to be proud. He has relatives behind him, old friends by his side, and a lover in his arms, laughing at the past and the present.
"Xia Yuan, let's go out for a walk, I heard Chen Wunian's story, and I felt a panic in my heart. ”
Qin Lan raised her eyes, looked at the figure standing by the stone pavilion, and said softly.
"Chen Wunian's story is very bleak, and I am also touched when I listen to it. I've been cultivating in the Ten Thousand Years Palace for some time, but if I just blindly cultivate, it's a little boring. ”
Xia Yuan turned around and nodded. "Close the Great Guardian Array of the Wannian Palace, and my father and king will also know that when we leave the Wannian Palace, Granny Mo will protect us in the dark. ”
"Qin Lan, where do you want to go?"
Xia Yuan looked at Qin Lan and said softly.
"I want to go to East County. ”
Qin Lan put down her hand, she looked at Xia Yuan, and said with a smile.
"East County?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes.
Dongjun is a cemetery where the deceased princes and generals of the Celestial Empire are buried.
"Yes, my mother is buried there, I want to go to Dongjun to see, worship my mother, and let my mother see, my future husband. ”
may be influenced by Chen Wunian, which is an obsession with unreserved family affection.
At this moment, Qin Lan also misses the long-dead Queen of Beiwu.
"When I was younger, I was afraid of the graves in the East County because there were ghosts in them. It wasn't until I grew up that I realized that the graves were full of people who wanted to see them day and night, but never saw them again. ”
Qin Lan came to Xia Yuan's side, she grabbed Xia Yuan's hand and held it tightly in her palm.
"Okay, let's go to Dongjun and let your mother see if my son-in-law is what she wants. ”
Xia Yuan grinned, and he led Qin Lan out of the stone pavilion with his backhand.
After Xia Yuan closed the Great Guardian Array of the Wannian Palace, he pulled Qin Lan out of the Wannian Palace.
East County.
Located in the westernmost part of the Imperial City, it covers a vast area and is heavily guarded by soldiers all year round.
In the eastern county, there are people who are very important in the dynasties of the Celestial Empire, and they are asleep, and no one is allowed to disturb them.
"Subordinate, see the little prince, the county lord. ”
Xia Yuan held a gold medal in his hand, and in a respectful voice, he and Qin Lan walked into Dongjun unimpeded.
In the East County, it is quiet and silent, and you can hear the fine needles when they hit the ground.
Here, there are many graves, and although the tombstones are not high, they are tall mountains in the Celestial Empire that will never collapse.
"Xia Yuan, come with me, my mother is buried in the innermost. ”
Qin Lan walked in front, and Xia Yuan followed closely behind.
"In the eastern county, all the princes and generals who have made great achievements to the Celestial Empire are buried. Although my mother is the queen of Beiwu, she is only in terms of merit, not as good as her predecessors, so she can only be buried in the innermost. ”
On the way, Qin Lan didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the sleeping undead.
The two walked up a long staircase, one after the other.
In the innermost part of Dongjun, looking at it, there are two jade tombstones standing there, but there is a standing tombstone, which is a wordless tombstone.
"After my mother died, she was buried here, but my father also set up a tombstone next to it, and he was afraid that my mother would be lonely. This wordless tombstone is the tomb of my father, which he erected with his own hands. ”
"Beloved wife, Lin Jiaojiao's tomb. ”
People are still alive in the world, but they have set up a tombstone for themselves with their own hands, in order to accompany their latest beloved.
Alive, the two joined hands to go to the appointment of the white head.
died, and the two of them slept together under the loess.
"People who are so infatuated, Qin Lan is like this, Chen Wunian is like this, and King Beiwu is also like this. ”
Xia Yuan was moved.
"Mother, my son has come to visit you. By Erchen's side, is Erchen's future husband, his name is Xia Yuan, I don't know if my mother likes it, but my father likes it tightly. ”
In front of the tombstone, Qin Lan held Xia Yuan's hand and said.
"Xia Yuan, I've seen Queen Beiwu. ”
Xia Yuan faced the tombstone and bowed three times. Holding Qin Lan's hand, Xia Yuan also held it tighter.
With the change of the years, the change of the times, all people and history will be submerged under the wheels of time rolling.
As the younger generations, we live in the present, and all we can do is to face them and bow down.
"Erchen came today to talk to his mother, maybe for a long time in the future, Erchen will not come here to worship his mother. ”
Qin Lan squatted down, and some dust fell on the tombstone in front of him.
Qin Lan raised her hand to gently wipe the dust off the tombstone, and her expression was a little gloomy.
Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory,
There are no two or three people who can talk to people.
"Mother, Xia Yuan has a divine vein, and he may become the enemy of the world. He is my husband, and wherever he goes, it is my home. If our husband and wife die, we will be buried wherever we die, and the green mountains of the world are the same. It's just that the sons can't come to worship their mothers. ”
Qin Lan was talking with her late mother-in-law, but as she spoke, Qin Lan's eyes turned red and she sobbed softly.
"If the world is going to be my enemy, I am not afraid. As long as I am alive, I will always hold Qin Lan's hand, walking together in life and in death. ”
Xia Yuan walked behind Qin Lan, he stretched out his hands and gently placed them on Qin Lan's shoulders.
Xia Yuan looked at the tombstone in front of him and said solemnly. This is a promise to Qin Lan and Queen Beiwu.
"Mother, this is your favorite white peony, which I just picked in the garden of the Wannian Palace. ”
Qin Lan took out a bunch of peony flowers from the ring and gently placed them in front of the tombstone.
It was getting late, and the sunset was about to set on the horizon, like a shy beauty, covering half of her cheeks with a mountain.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the sky was also dyed red.
Xia Yuan and Qin Lan talked for a long, long time with Queen Beiwu in Dongjun.
It wasn't until night fell that they left Dongjun, but Qin Lan's eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, in the eyes of those people, I am still as weak as an ant. When I become stronger, they will not be worthy of being my enemies. ”
"As long as we are alive, whether we are in the Nether, Middle-earth, or Upper Realm, we will all come back, because this is our home. ”
After leaving Dongjun, the expression on Qin Lan's face has been very low.
Xia Yuan stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qin Lan's waist and strolled down the deserted streets.
The night breeze is gently blowing in the face, which is a little cool.
When Xia Yuan and Qin Lan returned to the Wannian Palace, it was already ten in the middle of the night, and the people were already asleep.
In the main hall of the Wannian Palace, it is still brightly lit.
Xia Wuhou and King Beiwu sat on wooden chairs, and Granny Mo stood behind them.
"Erchen Xia Yuan. ”
"Son-in-law Qin Lan. ”
"See Father. ”
Xia Yuan and Qin Lan walked into the main hall, and they bowed and saluted.
"Yuan'er, Xiaolan, I have discussed with the King of Beiwu many times, but I still decided to let you go to the Heavenly Grotto. After cultivating in the Heavenly Grotto for two years, when you come out again, count the days, and it's time for the Nine Star Secret Realm to open. ”
Xia Wuhou raised his eyes, looked at Xia Yuan and Qin Lan in front of him, and said very solemnly.
"You go to the Heavenly Grotto to cultivate, Granny Mo will also guard in secret, and Granny Mo will not come to the rescue unless it is absolutely necessary. This is the experience of the two of you, so you must think twice and don't fight a battle that you are not sure of. ”
King Beiwu's face was a little pale, and he cautioned carefully. It's just that as soon as his words were gone, a coughing sound came out from the mouth and nose of the King of Beiwu.
"Father, aren't the injuries in your body healing? ”
Hearing this, Qin Lan hurriedly stepped forward, she stretched out her hands, holding the palms of the Northern Martial King tightly, and her eyebrows showed concern.
It's just that seeing that King Beiwu's clothes are a little thin, Qin Lan is also frowning, and there is more blame in his words.
"You little girl, since you came back from your mother's place, you have always been absent-minded. I thought that my father's cultivation would not be able to soak my body even in the cold winter, so how could I be afraid of the night wind in this spring. ”
King Beiwu laughed and touched Qin Lan's head, and said very dotingly.
"Father, it's just that my sons don't know what kind of place this heavenly cave is. ”
Xia Yuan raised his eyes and expressed the doubts in his heart.
Heavenly Grotto, these two words are too unfamiliar to Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan had never heard anyone mention that there was such a place in the Celestial Empire.
"The Heavenly Cave can be said to be the burial place of the first emperor of the Celestial Empire. It is not in the territory of the Celestial Empire, but it is barren, but it has been abandoned for many years. Letting you and Xiao Lan go there to practice is also a last resort. ”
Xia Wuhou sighed, this was planning early. There are only a few people who know about the Heavenly Cave in the Celestial Empire, but only Xia Wuhou knows its specific location.
The war on the front line is urgent, countless soldiers have been killed, and how many people have buried their bones in a foreign land.
"Today's Celestial Empire has become the target of public criticism. ”
Xia Wuhou can only focus on the court without worries.
"Yuan'er, Xiaolan is the daughter of this king and your wife. After you go to the Heavenly Grotto, you will be able to cultivate for a good life. You are a man, what to protect, and what to protect, should know better than anyone else in your heart. ”
King Beiwu turned his head and looked at Xia Yuan and said solemnly.
