Chapter 14: Destiny (II)
"Aunt Yu!"
Ji Chengche was taken aback, and he didn't want to rush over and grab Concubine Yu'er's hand, Xiao Qiankun was full of vitality and wanted to use the power and poison for her.
Concubine Yu didn't resist, her expression was calm and even with a hint of incredible pleasure: "This is the 'Acacia' refined by the ghost master, I have taken it before you came, once the poison is incurable." Clear, I don't have much time, you listen to me......"
Ji Cheng's heart was cold, and he knew that Concubine Yu had not deceived herself, and even if he was invincible, he would no longer be able to save her.
On the one hand, he was unwilling to fight for his fate with the expectation of what happened, and on the other hand, he said angrily: "What are you, you only care about your own liberation, what should Sister Yu do?"
Concubine Yu'er's body quickly turned cold, and a layer of bright golden veins oozed from her snow-like skin, like a petal blossom.
She leaned back on the soft cushions and said with a smile, "A dusty person like me should have killed himself." It's just because there are some things that I can't let go. Now that all my wishes have been exhausted, I can finally go calmly. β
A flash of lightning flashed in Ji Cheng's mind, and Huo Ran recalled what Tang Yan said that night. Perhaps for Concubine Yu, that experience was a scar that she didn't want to look back on for the rest of her life, but that night it was uncovered by Tang Yan in front of Xiang Yi, presumably at that time, Concubine Yu'er was determined to die.
Ji Chengche turned around and shouted outside the hall: "Zhao Yu, go and invite the ghost master!"
Zhao Yu saw Concubine Yu commit suicide by taking poison, and he was so frightened that he heard Ji Cheng's call, stumbling all the way and shouting: "Oh no, the Queen Mother ......"
Before he could say the word "suicide" in his mouth, he suddenly remembered how could such palace secrets be hyped up? Even if the Queen Mother was revived, he was afraid that his head would be difficult to protect. At that moment, he hurriedly covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed his panic to find the ghost master.
In the main hall, Ji Chengche used the supreme Xuan Gong to seal the meridians in Concubine Yu'er's body, and tried his best to delay the poisonous hair, but he couldn't do more.
Concubine Yu'er's expression was calm, and she said: "After I go, I will burn the corpse as ashes and scatter it in His Majesty's Zhangwu Emperor's Mausoleum, so that thousands of people can trample on it, so that I can atone for my sins." β
Ji Chengqing's chest was sore, and something seemed to be blocked in his throat: "Even if you want to leave, you should wait until Xiang Yu comes back to see you again!"
Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "If I see her, where can I still go?" β
Her gaze gradually drifted, as if she had seen something in her death, and a childlike smile of innocence and joy appeared on her face.
At this time, the ghost master arrived when he heard the news, and behind him were Shi Yifu, Yuan Shi Niang and Wu Da Hammer.
The ghost master took Concubine Yu'er's pulse and shook his head at Ji Chengqing.
"!"
Shi Yifu gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, thinking about the old things when he raised troops to resist demons, and Concubine Yu danced for the soldiers of the three armies in front of the bonfire in the military camp under the moonlit night, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Outside the main hall, there was the suppressed sobbing sound of the eunuch Gong'e, the guard. Concubine Yu is gentle and benevolent, even if her mother has no frame in the world, whenever her subordinates make unintentional mistakes, she will try her best to cover up and not let Xiang Yi punish her, so she has a very high prestige in the palace and is deeply loved.
Concubine Yu heard the crying in a daze, her spirits lifted a little and she barely opened her eyes wide, glanced at the people around her, and smiled: "Don't cry, don't make me uncomfortable again." β
She tried her best to grab Ji Chengqing's hand and said, "Xiang Yu...... Please......"
Without waiting for Ji Chengche to agree, her five fingers suddenly fell weakly.
Ji Chengche subconsciously held Concubine Yu'er's hand again, but there was no temperature.
Zhao Yu screamed at the top of his throat: "The Queen Mother is deadβ"
The voice echoed harshly in the main hall, and there was already a cry outside the hall.
Xiang Lin hurried to arrive, just heard Zhao Yu's shout, and unconsciously slowed down, with a blank expression of sadness and joy on his face.
After that, the palace was busy, the emperor's gift just a few days later, the queen mother here drove the crane to the west, and the whole country mourned the city that night.
Concubine Yu'er's mourning hall was set up in the Qingci Palace, and the civil and military officials and princes and ministers in Beijing entered the palace to worship.
In addition to Ye Ren and others, who had already gone out of Beijing to quell the rebellion, Fan Jian, Geng Tian, Yang Tianyu, Gong Tianwei, Chang Yuanliang and others all came in plain clothes, with solemn faces and hidden eyebrows.
Wang Rou was ignorant, she didn't know what was going on at first, but when she vaguely understood that it was Aunt Yu, who treated her very well and kindly, she cried and cried, holding Concubine Yu'er's coffin and refusing to leave.
Ji Chengqing was helpless, and coaxed softly for a long time, and the girl fell asleep.
For some reason, she's been getting more and more sleepy lately, like a little baby.
After settling down Wang Rou, Ji Chengche and the ghost master rested and drank tea in the small living room next door.
Ji Chengche said: "Aunt Yu told me before leaving that you want to talk to me. β
The ghost master was silent after tasting tea, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any news of Mr. Big?"
Ji Chengche was stunned, not understanding why the ghost master suddenly asked about the whereabouts of the master, and replied honestly at the moment: "He went to the Immortal Land, and he hasn't been heard from for a long time. β
The ghost master sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that my realm is completely destroyed, and it is no longer possible to step into the Beihai Ice Waterfall. I don't know if Mr. Big will succeed in finding an eternal home, at least he should be the most promising one in the past thousand years. β
Ji Chengche wondered, "Is there really an eternal secret hidden in the Immortal Land?"
"Who knows?" the ghost master said, "I have looked through the pen notes left by the ancestors of the demon clan, and no one can explain this matter clearly. β
Ji Chengche had read Tang Yu's notes, remembered the first sentence of the opening above, and said with a slight movement in his heart: "Maybe the Metaverse is the ban, and the existence behind the Sky Ice Waterfall is the key to unlocking the ban." β
The ghost master was surprised: "This is what Mr. Big said to you?"
Ji Cheng said: "No, this is the text left by the witch saint Tang Yu on the note. β
He didn't hide it either, he picked up what Tang Yu could say in his notes and put it together.
The ghost master listened attentively, and Ji Cheng's memory was excellent, and he retold it almost word for word.
"Life?" Hearing that there was only one word left on the last page of Tang Yu's notes, the ghost master looked thoughtful.
Compared to the notes of other ancestors, Tang Yu's was undoubtedly more valuable, no matter what, he had personally entered the Sky Ice Falls, and witnessed the Immortal Land and the legendary White Tower.
However, even if you are wise and knowledgeable, you can't figure out the true meaning of this word.
"Where are you going after this incident?" After a long time, the ghost master woke up from his contemplation and changed the subject.
"Go back to Tiandu City. Ji Chengche replied: "This time I went out for more than a year, and I should go back to have a look." β
"Will you take Wang Rou?"
"Yes. β
The ghost master nodded and said, "You have to care more about this girl." β
Ji Chengche smiled: "Xiang Lin has already warned me that if I can't protect her, it will make my life worse than death." β
The ghost master also laughed and said, "It seems that you are not afraid that he will threaten you?"
Ji Cheng said: "Because what he said is nonsense." β
The ghost master picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and said leisurely: "That's good." Wang Rou is also an old and decrepit closed disciple. β
The two chatted for a while, and the ghost master got up to say goodbye.
Ji Chengche sent him off later, and he didn't understand why the ghost master was looking for him from beginning to end.
He left the small living room, turned around to visit Wang Rou, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so he meditated cross-legged on the side.
After about half an hour, Wang Rou seemed to wake up and moved, and muttered: "Brother Chengqing......"
"I'm here. Ji Chengche raised up, held her delicate jade hand and whispered.
Wang Rou's slender and dark eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened a pair of sleepy and slightly confused eyes.
Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, and vaguely saw that in the depths of Wang Rou's eyes, there seemed to be a strange image appearing and disappearing without a trace.
This image is not very clear in a flash, it is like a cloud and a fog, but for some reason, it makes Ji Cheng's heart throb inexplicably, and there is always a very familiar feeling.
"Brother Chengqing, Aunt Yu went to the sky, will she come back?" Wang Rou rubbed her eyes and asked Ji Chengqing.
Ji Chengche woke up in shock and reassured: "Although Aunt Yu will not come back, she will turn into stars and watch us in the sky." β
Wang Rou's pretty face was filled with a bright smile and said, "Really, I'm going to see Aunt Yu!"
Ji Chengche recruited the palace maid to help Wang Rou dress and wash, and the two came to the garden together.
Ji Chengche raised his head, and saw the stars in the night sky shining like thousands of lights shining on the world, thinking that there should be a clear and good weather tomorrow.
Wang Rou held Ji Chengqing with one hand, pointed to the starry sky with the other and asked, "Brother Chengqing, tell me which star Aunt Yu is?"
Ji Chengche pointed to a star that was quietly twinkling in the northern night sky and said, "That's Aunt Yu." β
"Aunt Yu!" Wang Rou let go of Ji Cheng's hand, climbed the high platform and looked up at the night sky, waving to the stars in the northern sky, "Have you seen me, Aunt Yu?"
The stars twinkled and flashed, as if they were winking at Wang Rou, towards Ji Cheng, and smiling at the world.
Originally, it was just to coax Wang Rou, but seeing this situation, Jing Ji's clear eyes couldn't help but moisten quietly.
Just as he was thinking about himself, a cloud suddenly floated in the sky, gently covering Vega.
Ji Cheng's body stiffened suddenly, staring at the cloud in a daze, Huo Ran understood why he felt that the image in Wang Rou's eyes was very familiar.
ββWhat he saw in Wang Rou's eyes was neither clouds nor fog, but the sea in the dark, with rough waves and impermanence......
"You have to care more about this girl. β
Suddenly, Ji Chengqing's ears sounded the ghost master's previous words again, and he suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The King of the Holy Realm's Claw Book House" to read it for free for the first time.
