Chapter 240: Ah Ruo's True Identity
During the barbaric period, three large-scale wars broke out within the Three Realms, which brought unprecedented disasters to all living beings and deeply affected the course of history.
The First War of the Three Realms ended with Emperor Jiang beheading the Demon Emperor and defecting to the Protoss, thus establishing the supreme dominion of the gods over all beings.
The second War of the Three Realms was provoked by the co-workers who coveted the position of the Emperor of Heaven, and in the end he was defeated by Zhu Rong and died in anger.
Although this was just an internal strife between the Protoss, the war burned all over the Three Realms, countless living beings died in the war, and even the post-war pattern was permanently changed due to the breaking of Buzhou Mountain.
After tens of thousands of years of peace in the world, Hou Yi, who became the emperor of the world, suddenly attacked the Protoss without warning, and then the Demon Clan responded one after another, and finally evolved into a tragic battle that swept the Three Realms.
This is the last Great War of the Three Realms, and it is also the largest, deadliest, and most destructive cosmic war.
After this battle, the Protoss collapsed, and the Demon Race did not rise because of this, only the Terrans were liberated, although they still nominally recognized the supremacy of the gods, but the declining Protoss had no intention of governing the affairs of the world.
After the war was extinguished, human beings fully realized their insignificance, and the cruel reality made more and more people join the ranks of immortal cultivators, hoping to break through their own shackles through cultivation, so as to gain the same strength as gods.
Of course, this is all an official record, but in fact, the real situation is that the Protoss almost lost completely in this war, if they hadn't bribed Hou Yi's right-hand man Xiao Meng in advance, and let this despicable villain kill Hou Yi with a secret arrow from behind, then the final victory would definitely belong to Hou Yi's side.
After a few decades of regime change, the new emperor was busy pacifying the Quartet, and the younger generation grew up, and no one cared about the truth behind the war.
Of course, the gods were happy to see war break out on earth, because the weaker the human race, the more they would turn to the gods, and they would be able to restore their prestige.
But at this seemingly bright time, the oracle that Tai Feng said leaked out through someone's mouth, and finally spread to every corner of the Three Realms.
Like Tian Wu, the gods scoffed at it, believing it to be a lie concocted by the remnants of the defeated side, and these conspirators wanted to create turmoil and divide the power of the gods for ulterior purposes.
When the plague broke out, the Protoss instantly fell into panic, and the surviving gods fled the polluted mountains and waters one after another, and moved to those areas above the heavenly realm that had not been plagued by the plague.
This plague is like a mirror that exposes the fragile side of the gods, so that those who know know that those gods who claim to be immortal also have to enter the day of death.
It was only then that the gods realized that the rumor was not unfounded, but it was too late to repent, and they took remedial measures, and the gods immediately blocked the news related to the plague, leaving the world unaware of it.
Next, as the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Realm, Di Jun, knows that if he does not find out the source of the rumors, then the next plague will break out, it will be the end of the gods.
After a rigorous investigation, Dijun finally figured out what was going on, and realized that in order to solve the hidden danger once and for all, it was necessary to find the initiator of the war, Hou Yi, and Tai Feng, who said the oracle.
But Hou Yi is dead, as his reincarnation, he has long been lost in the torrent of the world, and no longer has the memory of his previous life, and at this time, the gods who returned to the heavenly realm brought good news to Di Jun, that is, Tai Feng did not die in battle, but was let go of a way by Tian Wu, so the Emperor decided to open a breakthrough from Tai Feng.
To the surprise of the gods, all the spies sent to find Tai Feng returned empty-handed, and at the same time, the God Emperor Ju Mang, who was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to interrogate Tian Wu, also found nothing, after all, Tian Wu had never met this close friend since he released Tai Feng privately.
As a last resort, Di Jun's eyes returned to Hou Yi, and he wanted to find out Hou Yi's reincarnation, activate the memories of his previous life, and know all the truths from it.
If this wish is granted, the gods can find the right medicine and successfully resolve the greatest crisis in history.
Because Houtu cut off the two worlds of yin and yang, even if the Emperor of Heaven repeatedly issued edicts, she refused to open the passage of the underworld, so the seal of divine blood left by the Queen Mother of the West became the only clue.
For thousands of years, countless gods have descended to the world to look for Hou Yi's reincarnation, but all they found was a bunch of counterfeits, and the real Hou Yi reincarnation seemed to have completely disappeared into this world.
Later, most of the gods gave up searching, and only Lu Wu did not give up, wandering the world year after year, hoping that he could bring Hou Yi's reincarnation back to the heavenly realm and restore the former glory of the decayed gods.
After listening to Tianwu's story, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, of course he knew that the gods couldn't find the true reason why Taifeng.
The jade coffin that Tai Feng hid in was given by Hou Tu, which could perfectly isolate himself from the outside world, and the arrogant gods would never have dreamed that the same clan they were looking for was hidden in the immortal cultivation sect of the human race, and they all set their eyes on the famous mountains and rivers that fit the identity of the gods, and the results can be imagined.
But Yin Tiancheng didn't expect that Taifeng would rather choose death than help his fellow clan, how deep the resentment is, I'm afraid only the person concerned knows it in his heart, but all this has ended with Taifeng's death, and I'm afraid no one will ever know the reason.
Just when Yin Tiancheng was deep in thought, he heard Tianwu say in a sigh: "My story is finished, Yin Gongzi, tell me about your legendary experience." ”
Yin Tiancheng hurriedly gathered his mind and continued to talk about what happened to him after Tai Feng's death, this time, Tian Wu just held his chin in his hand and never said anything again.
He stared out the window with vacant eyes, and it wasn't until Qian Yehua reminded Yin Tiancheng next to him that he had finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and then said, "You and Lu Wu have gone a little too far, and you are completely on the opposite side of our gods. ”
"You're talking about a negative thing, this guy is too vicious, and he is completely innocent......
Before he finished speaking, Tian Wu interrupted him and said, "I admit that he is innocent of his death, but His Majesty's original intention is to let Ercheng accept the never-ending punishment, and you are doing this tantamount to resisting the decree." ”
After drinking a cup of tea, Tianwu said, "There is a more important point, you haven't taken it into account. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's strength is not ordinarily strong, how can the two pieces of garbage be his opponents! His Majesty has always suspected that there is another hidden reason for his son's death, so he imprisoned those two scum instead of sentencing them to death. Lu Wu only figured this out later, and then he left from you, because he didn't want you to be implicated. ”
Yin Tiancheng heard a warm current in his heart, and he said sadly: "The predecessors saw that they were taught, but they failed to think of this deep meaning. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, Lu Wu has a special mission, and Niangniang will not stand idly by in this matter, so even if my apprentice is captured back to the Heavenly Realm, it will only be a symbolic punishment at most. ”
Yin Tiancheng was relieved at this time, and he couldn't help laughing: "So the gods opened up to Lu Wu, and then vented their anger on me." ”
"You're wrong again, but it's no wonder you, after all, it's still a bit difficult for humans to understand God's thinking. ”
Tianwu glanced at Yin Tiancheng meaningfully, and then said, "Do you really think that you can resist Zhu Rong's blow and not die? It was all because of the mercy of the Red Emperor's subordinates, in order to warn the world not to disobey the will of God." ”
Yin Tiancheng was taken aback, but he immediately understood the meaning of Tianwu's words.
"What does my predecessor mean is that I, like Lu Wu, actually have important use value, so the gods spared my life?"
"You're a smart guy, you can do it. Tianwu smiled and asked, "Now, do you think you are the reincarnation of Hou Yi?"
"I'm confused about this, but there's a question, if I can get the answer from my seniors, I might have the right judgment. ”
"Oh?" Tian Wu suddenly became interested, he straightened up, and said, "Excuse me, I know everything." ”
"That fairy Ah Ruo who claims to be my wife, can my predecessors know her origin?"
Tian Wu laughed, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "The time you have been in contact with her is not too short, can't you see a clue?"
Yin Tiancheng thought for a moment and replied: "Ah Ruo can exert the water attribute in her own vitality to the realm of supernatural beings, and I boldly guess that she is likely to be the goddess in charge of a certain body of water like her predecessors. ”
Tianwu nodded approvingly and said, "You are to the point, but my disciple hasn't seen through it yet." ”
After a pause, Tianwu said again: "If you are another god, you may not know who this girl is, but the old man knows her origin." Because her father and I are old friends, and I have watched her grow up since childhood, it is naturally very clear. ”
"Then who is she, I hope my predecessors can say it to me. ”
"She is Hou Yi's wife......"
"This is impossible!" Before Tianwu finished speaking, Yin Tiancheng's face changed greatly, and the teacup fell to the ground.
Tianwu replied lightly: "This is the truth, I don't need to hide it from you." ”
For a while, the scene fell silent, and Yin Tiancheng looked at Tianwu in a daze, dazed, like a clay wood carved figure.
Qian Yehua silently stepped forward, picked up the broken teacup piece by piece, and then blew to restore it to its original state.
"Yin Gongzi, drink a cup of tea to suppress the shock. Qianyehua quietly poured a cup of tea.
Yin Tiancheng took the cup in his hand, and couldn't help but tremble with his right hand, he couldn't help but say: "I don't understand it, didn't Chang'e live in the Guanghan Palace for a long time, why did she become a goddess in charge of the waters again? Besides, you said that her father is also a god, but there has never been a record related to it in ancient books, did the predecessors remember it wrong?"
"When did I say that she is Chang'e, can't this Ah Ruo have other identities?" Tianwu squinted his eyes slightly and guided with a smile.
"Could it be...... Hou Yi has other family members......" Yin Tiancheng groaned and said: "This is unlikely, everyone knows that Chang'e is Hou Yi's only wife." ”
"Not necessarily, in fact, there are sporadic records in your human books, and perhaps you have never paid attention to them. Tianwu felt and said: "Chang'e's light is too dazzling, the world only remembers the story of her running to the moon, and completely ignores the existence of another beauty." ”
Like an electric shock, Yin Tiancheng froze, and he finally recalled the legendary story related to Ah Ruo.
Speaking of which, Ah Ruo's life experience is a bit miserable, her first husband was not Hou Yi, but Hebo, the god of the Yellow River.
She has been married since she was a child, and she has little emotional foundation with Hebo, and Hebo is a perverse and lascivious water god, even after marriage, she doesn't know how to restrain herself, and often goes out to look for flowers and willows, so that Ah Ruo is alone in the empty room.
Ah Ruo was kind by nature, and like Tian Wu, he often appeared to save the boat people who had fallen into the water, and the people on both sides of the river remembered her favor and built a temple to worship this goddess.
When Hebo learned of this, he was not only unhappy, but thought that Ah Ruo had an affair with a mortal, and he was so jealous that he imprisoned his wife in the deep palace of Shuifu, and no one was allowed to see her.
Ah Ruo was depressed and had to play the piano all day long to pass the boring time.
At this time, Hou Yi, who had just killed the Nine Infants of the Ancient Demon Beast, passed through the Yellow River on his way back, and happened to hear the sound of the mournful piano coming from the bottom of the river, and immediately noticed the deep grievances hidden in the piano.
Hou Yi was greatly surprised, so he followed the sound of the piano and dived under the water to find Ah Ruo's captivity, and after hearing her tell her about her experience, he expressed deep sympathy, so he rescued her from the deep palace and sent her back to Luohe, where her father lived.
When he heard about this, he led all the Shui tribes to chase after him, not only wounding Ah Ruo's father, but also setting off a huge wave to flood the fields and villages along the coast, causing many people to die in the flood.
Just as he was about to forcibly take Ah Ruo back to the Yellow River, Hou Yi, who rushed to hear the news, shot Hebo in the left eye with an arrow and subdued the fierce god on the spot. Next, Hou Yi forced him to write a letter of resignation, allowing Ah Ruo to regain his freedom.
After doing all this, Hou Yi spared Hebo's life and told him to go back to the Yellow River and never come to trouble Ah Ruo's family.
Although Hebo, who had suffered a loss, was angry, he also knew that Hou Yi's strength was against the sky, and no one in the Three Realms was invincible, so he had to swallow his anger and flee back to his crystal palace, never daring to come to Ah Ruo's trouble again.
But Ah Ruo's father was worried that Hebo would make trouble again after Hou Yi left Luoshui, and at the same time he was grateful for his kindness, so he married his daughter to Hou Yi, and after the two got married, Hou Yi took Ah Ruo back to his poor country.
When this story was recalled by Yin Tiancheng, Ah Ruo's real name was also about to come out, she was the water god Concubine Mi who was in charge of the Luo River.
"Could it be that this goddess regards me as the reincarnation of Hou Yi...... Or am I really the reincarnation of Hou Yi?"
For a while, Yin Tiancheng's heart was in turmoil, and his heart was pounding like a drum.
"There are some things you may not know you're going to be happier. Tianwu sighed in amazement, "Now that you know the truth, how are you going to face it next?"
"This ......" Yin Tiancheng raised his head suddenly, glared at Tianwu and asked, "Senior, am I really the reincarnation of Hou Yi?"
Seeing Yin Tiancheng's panicked expression, Tianwu and Qianyehua looked at each other and smiled: "What do you think of yourself?"
The scene was silent again, and Yin Tiancheng was silent.
