It's the beauty that brings disaster. I'm also desperate.

The old man was mumbling something.

When she talked about the past with her cousin Si Wenming, her cloudy eyes became clear.

The wrinkles on his face seemed to smooth out.

She was laughing, laughing happily.

Chapter 97: The Dao disappears and Chang Geng disappears

Shengsheng listened with a smile, without interrupting the other person's memories.

I would respond from time to time, ask some simple questions, and then exclaim in surprise...

Although she had heard these stories countless times over the years and could recite them by heart, she still listened quietly to the other person's narration and reacted as if she were hearing them for the first time.

The old woman recalls the glorious past and she often reminisces about her youth.

The beloved one had passed away long ago, and the daughter was busy practicing.

The only person who can be by her side and is qualified to listen to her is Xia Li.

The young girl supported the old man and walked slowly towards the palace gate. They walked very slowly. Along the way, the old man recalled two stories that Shengsheng was familiar with.

When he walked out of the palace, Di Fenghe's guards were already waiting outside the palace.

These guards are all visible guards, and there are naturally more covert secret guards as well. Even if the Queen is traveling incognito, the lineup of guards cannot be underestimated.

Di Fenghe's personal maid, a middle-aged beauty with a dignified face, walked up slowly... She bowed to Si Zhen and Xia Li respectively, and then prepared to take Sheng Sheng's place.

Queen Wa is preparing to return to the palace...

According to past custom, Shengsheng can wave goodbye to the other party here and see them tomorrow.

"...Do you mind giving Grandma a ride?"

Di Fenghe waved his hand to refuse the help from his personal maid and asked Xia Li with a smile.

"Mother-in-law is joking."

"Li'er is eager to hear more of your heroic deeds. It's a rare opportunity, so why would I mind?"

Shengsheng made the old woman laugh heartily.

There was a flash of surprise in the eyes of the personal female official. She had served Queen Nuwa for many years and naturally knew her temperament... Si Zhen had never laughed so happily even in front of her own daughter.

Ever since Si Mi's death, it was difficult for people in the palace to see a smile that came from the heart on her face.

This made the personal maid doubt that the rumors she had heard before might be true!

The two walked out of Qingle Garden where Jiang You's bedroom was, and walked along the lake that Shengsheng saw when he first arrived at Jiang's mansion. It was sunset at this moment, and the cool breeze blew the flowers and trees by the lake swaying...

Sparse shadows slant across the shallow water, and there is a faint fragrance.

The sunset is gentler than the morning glow. The bright sun seems to have exhausted its light and heat during the day, and now only endless warmth remains.

"A thousand years of emptiness is nothing but a dream, when will the sunset return?"

After walking out of the hall, the old man seemed to be silent all of a sudden.

Shengsheng didn't understand what the other person was thinking, so he could only support him carefully and remain silent.

Until this moment, Di Fenghe suddenly said this...

There was an endless sigh in her tone, as if she was asking someone, or as if she was asking herself, more like a summary of her life.

Xia Li's heart moved slightly, and he had some inexplicable insights.

But before she could figure out what was going on, the old man suddenly broke free from her support.

"Xiao Li'er, take it."

Si Zhen took out a stone slab from her sleeve. The stone slab was square and very thin, but three feet long and wide.

Shengsheng was not surprised that the other party could take out such a large object from such a small cuff, because she knew that the other party had the magical power of hiding the world in his sleeves...

"This is?"

"Something you've always wanted."

Xia Li took the slate in confusion, and the moment he touched the slate.

The blood in her body suddenly accelerated, and she felt it clearly. It was not ordinary blood, but the 'blood of Nuwa' that had frozen after Tian Yuzhi's return. She had tried many methods, but none of them could make it move!

Simultaneously.

Suddenly, a lot of information appeared in her mind, which were some secrets about Zhu Bao.

But she didn't know what was used to construct this information. Even though it entered her mind, it was obscure and difficult to understand... It was as if you had gone to great lengths to find the secret manual of a peerless martial arts skill, but it was in Sanskrit!

After scanning several long articles, I could only recognize a few numbers.

"Haha."

Seeing that Shengsheng was confused and a little dizzy, the old man chuckled.

Wenming's cousin had the same expression back then, and so did Zi'er. She herself probably felt the same way, which made her feel nostalgic...

"Xiao Li'er, this is the 'Desolate' rune from the Fire Age."

She told the story slowly and clearly to Xia Li.

"There are three heavens in this world."

"The nine great candle treasures all come from Feijintian. If you want to break the curse of Mingjinhu or even other candle treasures, you need to go to Feijintian... Feijintian has long been lost, but according to the desolate runes on the stone slab, you can enter from Feijin Ancient Abyss."

"Thirty thousand years ago, during the 440th Dynasty of Emperor Wa, Emperor Taiwang, who was born into the Baihuang clan, a descendant of the Nine Clans, disappeared in her th year of reign. People said she died suddenly, but in fact, she went to the Feijin Ancient Abyss."

"The Ancient Abyss of Scarlet End opens once every 30,000 years. Calculating the time, it's only less than a thousand years..."

——She, why did she suddenly tell me all this!

——Could it be?

A large amount of mysterious words flooded into Sheng Sheng's mind, and at this moment Si Zhen suddenly mentioned the secret of breaking the five hundred years of curse of Ming Jinhu.

The girl was confused for a moment.

"Mother-in-law, you..."

He has already said this, I guess he knows it ten thousand times better than her. If I deny it again, it will be a joke.

It also hurt the friendship between the two.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Li finally nodded and admitted it.

"...How do you know that Li'er once held the Ming Cinder Pot?"

Even if she inquired about the Mingjinhu, it might be out of curiosity, as she couldn't be sure that she had this candle treasure.

Logically speaking, the broken pot should still be in the hands of Si Zhen or Si Zi.

"Haha, I'm not with you now, but I'll be yours in the end. You're smart, but you don't know what's at the end of the road."

"What's the situation?"

"You'll understand then..."

The old man shook his head and refused to explain, perhaps because there was some secret that could not be revealed.

"When the time comes, this stone tablet will guide you to the Ancient Abyss of Scarlet End."

"...I hope Xiao Li'er can break through this curse that every generation of Nuwa emperors could not get rid of, and become the true owner of the Ming Cinder Pot."

——The real master?

Hear the words.

Xia Li couldn't help but feel curious. From what he said, could it be that the previous Nuwa emperors were not the real owners of this candle treasure?

Are you so arrogant?

She was about to ask, but Si Zhen didn't want to talk more.

The old woman asked Shengsheng to put the stone tablet away, but Shengsheng had no secrets and could only hold it tightly in her arms. Even the successive generations of Wahuang had only deciphered a small part of the runes on the stone tablet. She told Xia Li to work harder when he had time.

After these instructions, Di Fenghe seemed to have put down all the heavy burdens, and had a ethereal and ethereal demeanor.

The most obvious thing is that the footsteps that were a little heavy before became extremely light...

She refused Xia Li's support, rubbed the girl's head as usual, and showed the kindest smile.

"gone."

This was the second time she said this today. When she said it in the bedroom, Shengsheng didn't feel anything strange...but now, she felt something in her heart.

The girl felt a sore nose.

He suppressed the sadness in his heart and nodded and smiled at the old man.

"Well, take care, grandma."

She said the same words as always, but she knew in her heart that this was the last time.

After today, I will never see this kind and amiable old lady again. Even though the outside world thinks she is strict and tough, in Shengsheng's heart, there is only her love and gentleness over the years.

Di Fenghe stood with his hands behind his back.

Walking towards the center of the lake towards the sunset...

Her body was quite hunched at first, but it straightened up with every step... When she reached the water's edge, she looked as brave as she did when she rode the red-tailed Suanni and stood on her horse with her sword in hand, howling to the sky while fighting against the spirits and corpses of the nine lakes and seventy-two mountains.

She found a huge rock by the water and sat cross-legged.

The huge rock was half submerged in the lake and half on the shore.

Di Fenghe raised her head slightly, and she looked at the sun that was gradually setting...

"It is said that there are ten saints in Feijin Heaven, and they can be reincarnated after death."

"Besides that, all living beings only have one life. Once they are annihilated, they will never rise again. Once they disappear, they will never live again... Is that true?"

The old man's voice came from afar.

But Shengsheng knew that the other party was not asking her. Maybe he was asking about the setting sun, or about the lake in front of him with sparse shadows, or about the sky and the earth.

Unfortunately.

No one could answer Di Fenghe's questions, so naturally no one responded to her.

"If there is an afterlife."

"Zhen, I wish to continue my relationship with Sister Wenming..."

Finished speaking.

He lowered his head.

Chapter 98: The Appointment with Youxuan

The beginning of winter in the 500th year of Heike.

In the 75th year of the Midsummer Dynasty, Emperor Wa [Emperor Fenghe] passed away, and the funeral was held on the ninth day after the emperor's death. At the funeral, Sheng Sheng saw Jiang Xuan, who looked solemn, and Jiang You, who was wearing a black robe and looked a little thin... The other party's cold and cold appearance seemed particularly sad in the bleak winter wind.

natural.

It could also be because Xia Li was in a bad mood. When he was unhappy, even looking at a tree would make him feel desolate.

Speaking of which, Jiang You and Sheng Sheng have been in a cold war for fifteen years.

On the one hand, Prime Minister Xia had a lot of state affairs to deal with, and the two daughters, Youxuan, had a lot to learn, while also having to practice. Even Jiang Xuan only came back once every six months, and most of the time she would have to leave after just a quarter of an hour, so she didn't even have time to chat.

It is conceivable that Jiang You has no time to resolve the knot in the past.

of course.

Jiang You would secretly come back to visit Xia Li whenever she had time. She liked the way Sheng Sheng read the Taoist scriptures seriously the most, she looked focused and beautiful... However, her cultivation was very high, so no one would know about her secret return. She also complained in her heart that Youyouzi was too stingy and had been in a cold war with her for so long.

——Humph! She doesn't care about me, so I can't admit defeat.

Over time, this matter has been a topic of debate.

Jiang You didn't seem to want to explain anything. As a Daluo Immortal Cultivator, her memory was too good. Fifteen years would not fade her memory. The scene at that time was vivid in her mind. Even thinking about it now, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

She decided to teach Li'er a painful lesson and it was not just talk...

on the other hand.

She and Jiang Xuan had an agreement, which was made when the three of them first traveled together.
