Chapter 225: An Indelible Past
The past is in the past, people live in the present, just like they don't know what will happen tomorrow, and there is no way to start over the past, unless time can be turned back. There are some things in the past, although I don't want to admit or even face them, but they really happened, and I can't make changes, which is a sad helplessness.
In a dark room, there were two candles, although they were already very bright, but they still could not illuminate the whole room, as if the night was very dark tonight, and there was no trace of moonlight coming in, and there was silence around them, and the silence seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
On a pillar connecting the ground and the roof, a person was tied by ropes, a woman, with a beautiful face, dressed in white, looking like a fairy in the heavenly palace, but now she did not seem to be treated well by the mortal world. A piece of dark gauze blindfolded her eyes, obscuring her vision, and it was no wonder that even though two candles had been lit, she still felt that there was darkness in front of her.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a person slowly walked in, with very light steps, as if he was afraid of waking up the fairy who was entangled in shackles. The man turned and closed the door, and then slowly walked to the opposite side of the fairy, and stood quietly in place, looking up and down at the woman who was tied to the pillar.
The woman tied to the pillar heard the sound of the door opening, and dimly saw someone walking in, but she could only vaguely see a figure through the heavy black veil, and she couldn't see the appearance of the person who came. She seemed a little flustered, not knowing what the visitor was going to do to her, and couldn't help but start struggling, but to no avail, the rope was so tight that she couldn't move a bit.
"Do you know who your father is?" Suddenly, the figure standing across from the woman spoke, and as soon as he came up, he asked an inexplicable question, it was a man, and he was not a young man.
The woman was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the figure on the other side was saying or what it meant, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, because she didn't have a father at all, or she had never seen her, and maybe she was already dead.
"Do you know who your father is?" asked the man again, his tone seemed to be harsher than before, and there was a hint of excitement, as if he was very concerned about the question.
"Who are you, why did you bring me here, why did you tie me up?" said the woman, struggling as she spoke, but did not answer the man's question.
"You answer my question first. The man lowered his voice and spoke in a deep voice, as if with a hint of anger.
The woman hesitated, calmed down her uneasy emotions, and said slowly: "I don't have a father, he would have died a long time ago." The answer was decisive enough, and decisive enough.
Hearing the woman's answer, the man seemed stunned for a moment, and asked loudly, "Who told you that?" The anger seemed to be deeper.
"What did my master tell me, who the hell are you? Why are you asking me this?" the woman asked loudly, he didn't know what the purpose of the man opposite was, why he had caught himself to ask these questions, was it related to his parents?
The man was silent, refusing to answer no matter what the woman asked, as if he was remembering something. Finally, the woman stopped asking, as if she was tired of talking, and the appearance of talking to herself in the darkness in front of her could only make her more depressed. But the man spoke again.
"Is your mother's name Ji Furong?" the man said in a deep voice, with a hint of excitement in his voice, as if he was expecting some answer.
The woman was stunned, not knowing what the other party was talking about, and said suspiciously: "Ji Furong is my master, how did she become my mother, I have been an orphan since I was a child." She didn't know what medicine the man in front of her had taken wrong, and how he said it became more and more inexplicable.
The man seemed to be a little disappointed, shook his head, and suddenly seemed to think of something again, and almost blurted out and asked, "Is there a red plum blossom birthmark on your right arm?" After speaking, he quietly waited for the woman's answer, motionless, as if this was his last glimmer of hope.
The woman's face was surprised, although she was blindfolded, but she still couldn't hide the surprise on her face, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "How do you know? Who are you?" It was a secret that only she knew, because no one had ever looked at her body. On her right arm, there was indeed a birthmark that looked like a plum blossom, and that was the only thought her parents had left her.
But the man seemed to be stimulated by something, and couldn't help but take a step back, and then turned around and opened the door, as if he was running away from something, without stopping or looking back.
"Where are you going, come back, let go of me!" the woman struggled and cried, but as if he hadn't heard, the man slammed the door shut, and as the footsteps faded away, there was silence around them, and the silence was so quiet that it was heart-wrenching.
The woman in white who was tied to the pillar and blindfolded was none other than the Pavilion Master of the Phantom Sound Pavilion and the Young Master of the Furong Hall, Ruyi.
Ruyi didn't know what this place was, only that he was captured from the Phantom Sound Pavilion by the people of Fengyue Valley, and then he changed places many times along the way, and finally came here. She didn't know who the person was just now, why she asked herself so many inexplicable questions, but vaguely she suddenly felt that the voice had heard it somewhere, it was very familiar, but she couldn't remember anything.
Time passed little by little, and Ruyi, who was tied to the pillar, felt that the bones in her body were about to fall apart, and she didn't know how long she had been tied like this, and her legs were almost unconscious. But in her heart, she was thinking about Nangong Chu who was far away in the Phantom City, and she didn't know how his injuries were and whether there was any serious problem.
Ruyi guessed that the people of Fengyue Valley kidnapped her probably to deal with Wuxin, she knew the grudge between Fengyue Valley and Wuxin, although she understood that Wuxin was wronged, but the people of Fengyue Valley didn't seem to think so.
Although she was already in danger, she still prayed silently in her heart, praying that she would not fall for the other party's tricks and not come to her, because she did not know what kind of danger would be waiting for him to come to the door.
Gradually, the two candles in the house had burned out, and the surroundings were plunged into even darker darkness, but fortunately there was already a glimmer of dawn in the sky, and the sky was about to dawn.
Unconsciously, Ruyi was already drowsy, she was so tired, she could only eat one meal a day these days, and only in the morning would someone bring food and water every day, as if the other party was worried that she would run away after she was full of food and drink. She was hungry, so she was going to let herself get some sleep, and when she did, she wouldn't be hungry. He supported himself with two unconscious legs, and slowly closed his eyes.
As time passed, the sky finally brightened, and the darkness in the room gradually receded, and another dawn came. The air around seemed to cool down all of a sudden, and a faint breeze blew in from which crack in the room, and blew onto Ruyi's body, and her white clothes floated up with the wind, like a fairy in the clouds, but the fairy was already asleep at this time, waiting for her prince to come and wake her up.
The early morning breeze always seems to be fresh with a hint of coolness, which makes people feel mixed feelings......
"Squeak", the door of the room was opened, and a woman walked in, dragging a tray in her hand, which simply put a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables, just enough for one person to eat. Looks like it's the food delivery guy coming.
Ruyi was woken up by the sound of the door opening, through the sunlight outside the window, she vaguely saw the figure of the person who came, she knew that it was the person who delivered the food, and finally came, she was almost so hungry that she couldn't feel that her stomach was still there. In the past few days, this woman has been delivering food and feeding her, although the two have not communicated a word, but Ruyi still has a good impression of the woman in front of her.
Soon, the woman personally delivered the meal to Ruyi's mouth, and served Ruyi to eat, but the two people who stood so close to each other did not communicate a word. In fact, Ruyi had tried to talk to the woman before, but the other party obviously had no intention of responding, so Ruyi was thinking that the other party was either dumb or a person who couldn't make decisions about himself like himself now.
Still as before, the woman quietly packed up her things and left after serving Ruyi's meal, without nostalgia or hesitation. For a prisoner whose life and death are unknown, what is there to be nostalgic for, Ruyi can't help but laugh at himself.
Next, the long wait began, waiting for the night to fall, waiting for the dawn to come, and then waiting for someone to push open the door and come in with a simple meal, this is the days spent by Ruyi these days, boring and helpless, the only difference is that a man appeared last night, a strange and familiar man.
Time began to pass slowly, bit by bit, it seemed to go very slowly, slow and upsetting, Ruyi never felt that time was so slow. But the other party has been arresting him for several days, and until the man appeared last night, the other party has been ignoring Ruyi and not knowing what to do.
The sunset is always a pleasant beauty, but not everyone can enjoy it, because everyone has their own different things to do, not to mention how many times this beautiful scenery has flashed in front of their eyes.
Suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open again, and a man walked in, a man, the same one from last night, who had finally come here again, and it seemed that there were still unanswered questions.
"Who the hell are you?" This time, without waiting for the man to speak, Ruyi had already taken the lead in asking, and she had already seen that it was the same man from last night again.
The man didn't answer, but walked to the opposite side of Ruyi, standing opposite to each other, the same place he had stood last night. After being silent for a while, the man finally spoke: "Ji Furong is not your master, she is your biological mother. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that was enough to make Ruyi jaw-dropping.
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what the other party was talking about, whether she was crazy or not, and said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can my master be my mother, you recognize the wrong person, right?" She couldn't believe her ears.
"That's right, she is your mother, you two look too similar, I recognized you from the first time I saw you, you are her daughter, and your name should be Ji Ruyi. The man said affirmatively, as if he was completely sure.
Listening to the man's words, Ruyi was even more surprised, what the other party said was too true, the head was the Tao, and she almost believed what she said. I couldn't help but ask myself again: "Who the hell are you, how do you know this?"
The man paused and said slowly, "I am your father, my biological father." There seemed to be a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his tone, and his voice trembled a little.
Ruyi grew up with a mouth and was stunned, how could he suddenly change from an orphan to a person with a father and a mother after a night, and his biological father was standing in front of him, which was also too incredible and ridiculous. Ruyi almost laughed, thinking that any biological father would tie up his daughter and endure such inhuman treatment.
Suddenly, Ruyi seemed to react to something, and her face once again showed surprise, and she exclaimed, "You are the Seven Sages King!?" She finally remembered where she had heard this familiar voice, yes, it was the voice of the Seven Sages King.
The man didn't speak, but took two steps forward, lifted the black veil that Ruyi had blindfolded, and then retreated to where he had just stood.
Ruyi couldn't help but close her eyes, she hadn't seen the sun for too long, and she couldn't adapt to it all at once. After recovering a little, he opened his eyes and looked at the man standing across from him. That's right, the person standing opposite is really the celebrity of today's court, the Seven Sages King who is above 10,000 people under one person.
Ruyi was stunned, she couldn't believe her eyes, she didn't think about how Fengyue Valley suddenly became the Xianwang Mansion, but immediately thought of Wuxin, and thought of the Wuxin who was almost poisoned by the Xianwang Mansion several times.
Ruyi was completely speechless, and she was stunned. If the Seven Sages King is really her biological father, then how will she face it? Will she tell Wuxin that it is her own father who wants to kill him one after another? What will Wuxin think? Will she still treat herself like this? She doesn't know......
