Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mirror of the Moon
All the candles in the room were extinguished, and Emperor Tianquan was still leaning against the window, but he withdrew his gaze that had been looking at the sky, and quietly looked at the man in the fire-colored brocade in front of him.
He was exactly the same as when he first came to Tianyu City more than twenty years ago, and if there was anything that changed, it was that he had lost his humility and became proud and rude.
He stood empty-eyed, and did not salute, just like the rumored head of the hundred spirits.
"If you came to the imperial capital to seek medical treatment like this back then, maybe I should recognize it......" Emperor Tianquan sighed silently, and looked directly at the fire that was clearly extinguished in the other party's eyes, "Such an obvious eye, but I ignored it, hey......"
"Your Majesty back then was not the same indifferent eyes as he is now. Feng Jiuqing recalled that year, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Your Majesty's eyes that year were full of ambition, ambition impressed me, anyone who looked at you would be ashamed of themselves, that was the eye that I rarely saw as an immortal Lingfeng clan, but now...... Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"Knowingly asked. Emperor Tianquan didn't show the slightest impatience, and still spoke in a steady tone, "Back then, my eldest sister Mingyu was confused by your face and committed an unforgivable capital crime, Feng Jiuqing, I'm really curious, what method did you use to make your eldest sister so desperate? Is it really just because of your face that women will like?"
"Me...... It's really just a few casual rhetoric. Feng Jiuqing twisted her neck inexplicably, as if she felt the familiar aura outside the door, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty still misses that bit of sister and brother after all?" The Star Saintess outside the door is the eldest princess of Mingyu, right?"
"Now that you have recognized her, should you also return the Sinking Moon Thing to its original owner when you come back this time?" Emperor Tianquan did not move to remind, but when he saw him, he smiled in surprise and shook his head, "Your Majesty must have forgotten the purpose of my visit this time, just to spread the word on behalf of Lord Night King, right?" Shen Yue...... Taken away by my wife, she is in Kunlun. β
"Oh. The emperor replied indifferently, for him now, the lost Shen Yue has long been no longer important.
Feng Jiuqing continued: "Your Excellency has retrieved the Voice of the Sea, but it will take some time to recover your divine power, so I will be specially ordered to come and help Your Majesty maintain the 'Mirror Moon Mirror', so as not to break it in advance before it returns to the sky, as for the matter of the ancient species, the Lingyin Clan does not know, the Lord has ordered the three demons under the seat to continue to search, and please make it convenient for Your Majesty, just don't stop it." β
"Sure enough, the Lingyin clan really doesn't know...... Emperor Tianquan sighed, the ancient race is a god descendant, a person who devoured the gods and replaced them, with the ability of a mere alien to try to find the disappeared god descendant, is it too reluctant?
But the Lingyin Clan still can't stayβthe ability to hear everything is always too dangerous for the Emperor.
"As the Night King's divine power gradually recovers, the three demons will also recover, and among them, the most important is the nightmare demon who can dream and watch people's hearts......"
"In addition to Cang Shark, do you still want the seal of the Nightmare Demon? Do you know how many people have died in the North Shore City this time?" The emperor finally couldn't help but sneer, his golden eyes concealed a fierce killing intent, but it was hidden, Feng Jiuqing coughed lightly, and said patiently, "The Nightmare Demon has not been completely sealed, it's just that the Nightmare Heart is trapped in the Forbidden Valley, one of the seven forbidden places, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the Night King has instructed me to maintain the stability of the Mirror Moon Mirror first." β
"Hmph. The words poked at the weakness of Emperor Tianquan, and the emperor suddenly stood up, took out a jade-faced mirror from his arms, and carefully handed it to him.
Feng Jiuqing took the Divine Mirror, and the Spiritual Phoenix Breath on his body suddenly ignited a bright fire, only to see that the jade light on the mirror was very amazing, like the entrance to another world.
"Open!" he snorted, the mirror made a "click" sound, and a door of light was reflected in front of him, and before he could say anything, Emperor Tianquan had already stepped into the door first, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Walking through the light gate, it was a mirror-like world, reflecting the figures of the two people on all sides, and the jade-like luster gently tilted down, forming a colorful and splendid scene.
Emperor Tianquan's eyes were gray, his lips trembled slightly, he completely ignored the colors around him, quickened his pace, and walked straight forward.
Feng Jiuqing followed silently behind him, and a square, sealed transparent room appeared in the distance, and there was a haggard woman sitting on the mirror, a golden feather robe spread on the ground, and long black hair sprinkled like a waterfall.
This is his wife, the Empress, Wen Yi.
At this moment, the emperor in a high position took off all his dignity and knelt down quietly, kissing the woman inside through the transparent wall.
Feng Jiuqing stepped forward, and Empress Wen Yi opened her eyes tiredly, just glanced at him, revealing a frightened look.
"Wen Yi, long time no see. He spoke to the transparent wall, and although he knew that the other party couldn't hear at all, he still stubbornly continued, "The last time we met was before the Fall into the Sky, right? I heard that you married a human and became the queen of the flying wall, huh...... More than 20 years ago, I originally thought that I would take Qiushui to the imperial capital for medical treatment, if I could see you, I might be able to save Qiushui's life, but I was still wrong after all, you are already the queen, how can you easily meet a foreigner?"
The woman inside the wall shook her head, as if she had guessed what he was trying to say, but kept denying it.
"You must be able to recognize the Breath of the Spirit Phoenix, right? After all, you respect Feng Ji so much. Feng Jiuqing stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch her face through the barrier, and smiled bitterly, "But it's okay, I met Mingyu, although I was just lying to her, but in the end I saved Qiushui and the child in my womb, you must have noticed it at that time, right? I thank you very much, if you had investigated at that time, Qiushui should not have been able to return to Kunlun, and my identity should have been exposed a long time ago." β
Feng Jiuqing glanced at Emperor Tianquan silently again, he was indifferent, and he didn't seem to be interested in these old things.
"Heh......" For some reason, Feng Jiuqing sighed suddenly, "Your Majesty's feelings for the former empress are really admired by Feng Jiuqing, no matter what she does or hides, you will forgive her, right?"
"Would you blame your wife, even if she had left you. Emperor Tianquan asked rhetorically, and sure enough, he saw the unhappiness on the other party's face, and finally shook his head, "Your Majesty is the same as me, and it was all planted in the hands of a woman in the end, and the mirror of the moon is a thing in the heavenly realm, and it is said that it can retain fleeting time and form an eternal world......
Feng Jiuqing's gaze moved downward, and sure enough, he saw a bleeding wound on Wen Yi's chest: "Should I say that you are dedicated, or are you selfish and cruel? The mirror of the moon only retains time, and this fatal wound on the queen's body has not healed for the mirror of the moon for a full eighteen years, right?"
"Only by surviving can we find a way!" Angered by his words, Emperor Tianquan, who had been calm, blurted out in shock, "I am the king of Feiyuan, and I have moved all my most important people to Tianyu City, just thinking that one day I can return to that blue sky with them! I sent people everywhere to look for clues, and I knew that the truth of falling into the sky must not be the life of Liudao!" I had discovered a mysterious power, strong enough to hold the shattered land together, and I wanted to find this unknown power, and I thought that if I could find it, I would be able to bring my people back to my homeland......"
Emperor Tianquan pressed his forehead in pain, and grabbed the transparent wall with one hand: "But she keeps stopping me, I don't understand...... My beloved wife, why would she rather die in front of me than stop me. β
At this point, Emperor Tianquan suddenly looked directly at Feng Jiuqing, and said strangely: "But I understand now, the moment the Night King appeared, I completely understood, that unknown force is the fierce beast that devoured the Night King back then, he became an ancient species, netting the broken foundation under his feet, if I find it, it will undoubtedly alarm the Night King, and even the Heavenly Realm!"
"Wen Yi knows the truth about the fall from the sky, and she also knows the consequences of alarming the Night King, but she can't tell me, so she can only stop me in this way......" Emperor Tianquan covered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The moment she committed suicide, I found that there was no meaning in flying at all, and the world without her was meaningless, and I was forced to use the 'Mirror Moon Mirror' left by the royal family and brought her in the moment before she died, haha...... You see, she's alive, and even if her heart keeps bleeding, as long as the Mirror Moon Mirror is still there, she won't die! β
"But...... The Mirror of the Moon cannot last long in a land full of turbidity. Subsequently, Emperor Tianquan calmed down again, and instantly returned to his usual blandness, "According to legend, the mirror of the moon is a thing in the heavenly realm, and it can only be maintained above the nine heavens, but after so many years, I have never been able to find a way to return, so I ...... I'm looking for ways to extend my life, and if it's long enough, maybe one day ......."
"Maybe one day, we will find a way back to the sky. Feng Jiuqing suddenly took his words, and the corners of his mouth sneered, "You really waited for this day, the day when the Night King came to Zhen Island in person." β
"Heh......" Emperor Tianquan also smiled with him, "The Night King needs to find the fierce beast and regain the devoured body to fully recover, I assisted the Night King in finding the disappeared ancient species, and the Night King promised me the right to return to the sky, this is a win-win thing, but you ...... I still don't understand what your purpose is?"
"Me?" Feng Jiuqing's eyes were blurred, so that Emperor Tianquan couldn't see through it, "I've just lived too long, and I'm just bored." β
"You're really bored. The emperor muttered to himself, the Lingfeng clan is a legendary alien who has signed a contract with immortal birds, they are immortal, and they have a lifespan that is comparable to the twelve gods of the Heavenly Realm!
"Heaven...... It's actually a giant mirror of the moon. Feng Jiuqing muttered silently, "You may not believe it when you say it, but I am the only outsider who has set foot in the Heavenly Realm." β
"Heavenly, there...... What does it look like?" Emperor Tianquan asked, feeling a surging curiosity in his heart for the first time, that was the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, where the two gods of the sun and moon were, but they had never seen it with their own eyes.
"It's a very desolate and boring place. Feng Jiuqing gestured thoughtfully, "The upper layer is the polar day, the lower layer is the eternal night, the middle is 90,000 hectares, the stars are still, the dusk is eternal, it is also known as the sea of dusk, many spirit beasts will sleep and rest there...... In addition to this, there is also a huge temple in the polar day, but no believer has ever entered it, after all, there is no one else in the Heavenly Realm at all, Your Majesty, I don't think anyone will like it there, including the twelve gods themselves. β
Emperor Tianquan sketched in his mind the scene he described, a place that he could not imagine in his dreams.
"The Heavenly Realm is still in space, like a giant mirror of the moon, if one day it also falls from the nine heavens...... Hey. β
Feng Jiuqing smiled maliciously, if there really is such a day, he who is immortal and immortal, may still be able to see the moment when the "gods" fall!
"You're out of shape. Emperor Tianquan reminded lightly, "If your appearance is seen by the Night King, I'm afraid that he will also get rid of you to prevent future troubles." β
"But the Night King can't kill me. Feng Jiuqing didn't care, waved his hand, "Your Majesty forgot, I can't die, the only person in this world who can kill me is Feng Ji......"
He paused and frownedβno, he also had a daughter, could that half-race daughter kill herself?
However, none of this matters.
The breath of the spirit phoenix, that is a blessing in the eyes of outsiders, has long become a curse in his heart, he will definitely find the original immortal bird, and save himself and his daughter from this endless eternal life!
The Night King is undoubtedly the closest existence to the immortal bird, after all, the Night King's ability is to rule over all beasts.
"Does the Night King have any other orders?" Emperor Tianquan asked cautiously, Feng Jiuqing suddenly came back to his senses and nodded, "I will temporarily stay in the Mirror Moon Mirror to repair the defects on the mirror, during this time, please Your Majesty be calm and continue to assist in finding the traces of the ancient species." β
Feng Jiuqing's eyes flickered - the Night King undoubtedly concealed the most important thing and was unwilling to tell this human emperor, it must be related to the fate of the Heavenly Realm, so that the Night King would be so cautious!
"I see. Emperor Tianquan nodded, as if he had no interest in other things, and said lightly, "Then everything will be as usual, Mirror Moon Mirror, Mr. Lao is bothered." β
"Your Majesty, please. He politely said, "I'll send you out first, the three holy maidens are still waiting for you to face the saint." β
"I'm tired. Emperor Tianquan nodded, and another gate of light appeared in front of him, he bowed deeply to Feng Jiuqing, and looked at Empress Wenyi reluctantly, before leaving.
Leaving the mirror of the moon, Emperor Tianquan opened the door by himself, and the three holy maidens who were waiting outside hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and did not dare to raise their heads to peep into the room.
Emperor Tianquan had already made up his mind and ordered without hesitation: "Moon Holy Maiden, from now on, Moon Tower will suspend the star observation of other people in the territory, keep an eye on the crown prince alone, and transfer the other matters in your hands to Rilou to be responsible." β
"Yes. "The Moon Saintess's heart was pounding, or did she calmly accept the order-Prince?Your Majesty is finally going to make a move against His Royal Highness the Prince?
"Only the three of you know about this, and if anyone else knows about it, you will be killed. β
"Yes. The three holy maidens replied in unison, and Emperor Tianquan had already thrown off his sleeves and returned to the room.
Just for such an order, His Majesty actually wanted to summon the Three Holy Maidens in person, and sure enough...... Are you suspicious of the prince?
The Moon Saint's eyes wandered, His Majesty valued the Prince, as long as it was the Prince's decision for many years, His Majesty would probably not interfere, why would he suddenly order her to keep an eye on the Crown Prince today?
At this moment, the Butterfly Ling in her arms trembled slightly, and she was so startled that she didn't dare to get up - it was Butterfly Valley's sound transmission technique!
