Volume 1 Retrospective Chapter 5 Retrospective (3)
Zhao Yuanxi looked around, this was a serious palace. The color palette is dominated by black and dark gold, which is atmospheric and luxurious. There are all kinds of utensils and furnishings, mostly wine vessels and jade, as well as books and masks, which are slightly different from mortal things. It seems to be older than the furnishings of the mortal world, and the aesthetics are slightly different. But it has to be said that everything in the temple is pleasing to the eye. The light in the temple was dim, and the doors of the temple were closed.
Zhao Yuanxi secretly wondered, is this the Hall of Relics?
On the other side, Zhao Su seemed to have finished this life again, and then he was in darkness again.
"Where is this, let me out!" Zhao Su shouted.
"That's not the question you want to ask this seat the most. A female voice came from the darkness.
"How long has it been?" Zhao Su asked. He seemed to have finished his life again, only to feel that it was long and difficult.
"A snap of a finger. "Asahi said.
"How long was that?"
Chaosheng snapped his fingers.
In an instant, Zhao Su saw the light again. He was in a palace.
It turned out that what Zhao Su and Zhao Yuanxi had gone through, only a moment had passed, as Chaosheng said, it was just a snap of a finger.
"Father?" Zhao Yuanxi saw Zhao Su who appeared out of thin air.
Zhao Su turned around and also saw Zhao Yuanxi.
The two of them unconsciously raised their heads, only to see a masked person leaning lazily on the main seat in the distance. Standing beside him was the Mo.
Zhao Yuanxi frowned, isn't this the woman by the pool?!
"When you see your majesty, you still don't salute?!"
Ji Mo reminded in a deep voice.
Zhao Yuanxi stared at the people on the seat, she is the so-called Divine Monarch?
Zhao Yuanxi's every look was captured by Chaosheng exactly, and she looked at Zhao Yuanxi with a smile in her eyes.
It's a pity that Zhao Yuanxi can't see the expression under her mask.
Zhao Su hurriedly pulled Zhao Yuanxi to kneel down and said, "Meet Changming Shenjun." ”
"Get up. Chaosheng said lightly.
"I wonder what you two want?" asked Mo Mo.
Zhao Su immediately looked excited, "I only hope that my wife Shen Yanshu will be resurrected, and there is nothing else to ask for." There was a tremor in his voice.
"Since you can find this place, you must know that this seat never makes a loss-making transaction. If you want to resurrect a dead person, you have to pay a price, don't you?" Chao Sheng's tone was not hurried, but it was full of coercion.
She didn't know when there was another golden mask in her hand, playing with it with her bare hands, and looking at Zhao Yuanxi from time to time.
Zhao Yuanxi noticed a beam of gaze and looked at Chaosheng, only to see her leisurely playing with the things in her hand, not taking Zhao Su in her eyes at all. And Qi Mo looked at Zhao Su from beginning to end and didn't look at him.
He only thought it strange, but he didn't think about it.
"This ......" Zhao Su looked at Zhao Yuanyu with some humility, and then looked at Chaosheng, he wanted to speak, but he listened to the Divine Monarch on the seat:
"It's better to be like this, one life for another. exchange your life for your wife's. Okay?" Chao Sheng's words seemed to be interesting.
Zhao Su was stunned when he heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "If I die, how can I see her again." So what's the point of her resurrection or not?"
Zhao Yuanxi looked at Zhao Su, revealing a hint of disdain.
Chao Sheng chuckled, "It seems that he doesn't want to." ”
She threw down the golden mask in her hand and threw it in front of Zhao Su.
"Put it on, it suits you perfectly. Chaosheng said, "I used to think that love was stronger than Jin, but now I know that it is just my own selfish desires." Stronger than gold is your human skin, and the mask on your face. ”
Zhao Su slowly picked up the golden mask, holding it in his hand like a hot potato, not knowing what to do.
"Pure gold, but not as thick as the one on your face, make do with it. ”
Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help but laugh, he always felt that this Divine Monarch was very interesting.
Zhao Su's face became even more ugly. But I don't know how to respond. I want him to be ruthless and decisive, but he has to bow his head in front of the gods. Not out of fear, but out of demand.
Chao Sheng didn't joke at him anymore, but looked at Zhao Yuanyu and said, "Why do you bring more people here?"
"Nope. Zhao Yuanyu said.
"This is what the Divine Monarch said before...... The price ......" Zhao Su was a little afraid to look at Zhao Yuanxi.
Zhao Yuanxi trembled when he heard this.
"The one before?" Chaosheng thought thoughtfully, "Is it Chu Ji?" she asked Qi Mo.
The latter nodded.
"What did he tell you?" Chao Sheng asked.
Originally, Chaosheng was about to see the section of Zhao Su's sacrifice to summon the Changming Hall in the Scarlet Poppy Pool, but Zhao Yuanxi happened to break in, and she brushed away the illusion in the water.
"At that time......" Zhao Su was about to speak, but was stopped by Chaosheng.
"Needless to say, I know. ”
Chaosheng saw Zhao Su's expression when he looked at Zhao Yuanxi, and he also guessed a thing or two. Considering Zhao Yuanxi, she didn't let Zhao Su say any more, but used the method of contemplating the mind.
"Whatever it is, let him stay. Chao Sheng looked at Zhao Yuanyu and said.
Zhao Yuanxi's eyes stared at Chaosheng, "Why?!"
"Exchanging a son for a wife, it's a deal. Chaosheng's voice was still as calm as before.
"He has four sons, why me?" Zhao Yuanxi was a little excited.
Why? That's for your father. Ask him why he abandoned you so easily when he had four sons.
Asahi could have said this, but she didn't. In that case, it would be very sad.
In fact, at the first sight of Zhao Yuanxi, Chaosheng knew all his experiences in this life.
Perhaps he himself wanted to ask why he was never chosen.
Chaosheng lowered his eyes and said:
"Because you were chosen by this seat. This seat says that whoever is is who it is. ”
Zhao Su looked at Chaosheng with a look of surprise, he didn't know why, and he couldn't get the mind of this god monarch, so he didn't dare to say more.
Zhao Yuanxi said again:
"Then why did the Divine Monarch choose me?"
Asahi didn't answer.
"I am myself, not owned by anyone, nor sent to and from as a trade. Zhao Yuanxi's tone gradually calmed down, but he still spoke righteously, and his momentum did not decrease.
"But that's not the case. "Chaosheng Dao," this seat knows that in the mortal world, there is a world of difference between the status of the concubine and the concubine. And you are the latter. I am talking about the order that you have recognized in the mortal world, and what you have just said is just your own thoughts. ”
Zhao Yuanxi had nothing to say. She was right. Even if he continues to stay in the mortal world and stay in the Yong'an Palace, as an unfavored concubine, he will either make a hasty marriage, live a mediocre life, or be sent to the battlefield, or ...... He was given to other powerful people as a confinement.
This kind of thing, ordinary fathers may not be able to do it, but Zhao Su will definitely be able to do it.
But he was still unwilling. He also has things he wants to do and where he wants to go. In short, it is not about being trapped in one place until the end of life.
"Does the Divine Monarch also approve of the so-called order in the mortal world?" Zhao Yuanyu looked at Chaosheng, as if he wanted to see her face and see through her heart through that mask.
"The Changming Hall has the order of the Changming Palace, and this seat also has its own rules. And now the rule is, you have to stay. In fact, weighing the pros and cons, it is not a good thing to stay here. "Asahi said.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled bitterly, he had no choice.
I only feel a little sad, maybe it's because I don't have this body for a long time, maybe it's because ...... There is no greater mourning than death.
Zhao Su stood there steadily, every moment more determined than the last. For more than 20 years, everything he did was to keep Shen Yanshu, and when it came to the most critical time, it was impossible for him to give up. As for Zhao Yuanxi, when he decided to give him to the gods as a price, he never hesitated or regretted it.
"Zhao Su, have you decided?" said Mo Mo.
For many years, how many transactions, there are not a few people who regret it. Because what they exchange is also what they cherish in life. But everyone also knows that you can't have it both ways.
"Yes. Zhao Su didn't think twice and didn't hesitate.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled, with three points of helplessness and seven points of ridicule.
He knew a long time ago that he had nothing to lose. Now, it's really gone.
Anyone who had the slightest hope or illusion in the past was stupid.
"Good. Your wish will come true. After Ji Mo finished speaking, Zhao Su disappeared in place.
Zhao Yuanxi looked at the place where he disappeared, without any nostalgia.
