Su Linyu looked at the man and woman in front of her, not knowing what to say. She remembered many things during her lifetime, and she also remembered the memory of wandering by the underworld, so she understood that it was these two people who went deep into the land of the dead and used secret methods that she could not understand. Saved her and brought her back to the world.
She hurriedly knelt down to thank him for the kindness.
However, a gentle force lifted her up.
Xia Ji looked at the mother in front of him and smiled, his eyes a little red.
But now that he looked like Feng Nanbei, Su Linyu naturally didn't recognize him, and didn't even know which force he belonged to. He just lowered his head and said repeatedly: "Thank you, my benefactor."
Su Tian turned around, leaving some space.
Xia Ji had a lot to say, but he couldn't say it. He just took out a Su family cloak from the storage space and said softly: "Put it on."
Su Linyu nodded hurriedly,
She didn't dare to underestimate the young man in front of her.
I dare not think that this boy is the age he looks.
He had just stood upright, and the sight of a black and white wall blocking the giant black hand was still vivid in his mind.
If it were her, I'm afraid that just the power of the giant hand would make her blood and energy become sticky, making her unable to even run.
Soon, Su Linyu put on her clothes, and she asked softly: "My benefactor, why did you save me?"
There is a hint of caution, vigilance, and curiosity hidden between the brows.
Xia Ji said: "Happy."
"Happy?"
"Well, happy."
Su Linyu wasn't stupid either. Knowing that the person in front of her didn't want to talk, she asked softly: "I wonder what Linyu can do for my benefactor?"
Xia Ji: "No need to do anything."
Su Linyu hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Can my benefactor please let me go back to the imperial capital? My poor child is still alone in the palace, and I don't know what is going on now."
Xia Jidao: "King Shenwu is now the great enemy of our Su family, how can we be pitiful?"
Su Linyu was dumbfounded and said nonchalantly: "Who is King Shenwu?"
"Xia Ji, your son."
Su Linyu was stunned. With just one sentence, she understood a lot, "My dear friend... are you mistaken? My child has never practiced martial arts since he was a child... How could he be the King of Shenwu? How could he be an enemy of the Su family? ?”
Su Tian coughed twice, indicating that she had some time to speak, and now it was time to return.
Xia Ji said: "This is the territory of the Wu family. We came quietly. If you want to meet Xia Ji, will you cooperate with us?"
Su Linyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.
Su Tian took out many more "Dragon Travels Thousand Miles" and handed them over to Xia Ji and Su Linyu.
The three of them returned quickly.
Avoid traps along the way.
I finally made it back to the Wu Manor before dawn.
During the day, the head of the family went to see the coward. Because Su Linyu was about the same height and shape as Su Tian, she pretended to be Su Tian, and then left the Wu family under the cover of the head of the family.
Then, Su Tian quietly turned back.
…
The next day.
The three of them have made luxurious use of the "Dragon Travels Thousand Miles" jade pendant and returned to the imperial capital.
This kind of magical weapon that can be used to escape at critical moments is actually used to rush on the road. It is really a luxury.
Along the way, Xia Ji also told Su Linyu about the current situation. Su Linyu just nodded "hmm" and kept saying thank you, but she refused to say another word. After all, her son was now an enemy of the aristocratic family. What if she revealed some secret and harmed her son
When she heard that the queen was now Xia Xiaosu, she showed no expression. After a death, all she wanted now was to be reunited with her son.
Walking through the bustling streets,
Today's emperor has only people from the Central Plains, and there are also many people from the outside world, but both the people from the Central Plains and the people from the outside world are relatively peaceful, because this emperor has a benevolent queen.
The stone bridge of the imperial city was already in front of him. Su Linyu glanced at the man and woman on his left and right, sighing softly in his heart.
There is no such thing as love and hate for no reason in the world.
These two people saved her, taking great risks, and they must have a great purpose.
Now that the palace has arrived, the time has come for Tu Qiongdiao to meet.
Therefore, she asked again: "The two adults are kind to Linyu... I wonder what Linyu can do for the two adults?"
Su Tian said nothing.
Xia Ji said: "Of course."
Su Linyu's voice was trembling: "Please tell me."
Xia Ji pointed to a green willow tree by the moat, "Stand there obediently, let's buy some fruits."
"buy fruits?"
"Thirsty."
Xia Ji turned around and left, and Su Tian followed him.
Su Linyu:…
These big shots are really mysterious, and their motives are unclear. Is buying fruit some slang that I don’t understand
After leaving, Xia Ji threw a golden bean to Su Tian and said with a smile, "Go and buy it yourself."
Su Tian was not polite, took the golden beans and threw them back, and then said: "I will return to the clan to consolidate my realm.
And... Although the other four major aristocratic families have temporarily ceased their activities, they have not relaxed their surveillance of the Su family.
Depending on your identity and weight, I will help you make necessary cover.
But you must not be complacent, but try your best to improve yourself and become stronger and stronger. "
After saying that,
He turned around to leave, took two steps, but then turned his head and said, "Be careful, my Su family didn't send anyone to keep an eye on King Shenwu here, but that doesn't mean other families don't."
After saying that, He really left.
Xia Ji looked at his back, feeling a little complicated for a moment.
But despite this change, he remained determined and quickly regained his composure. He quickly walked back to the former prince's private residence, changed back to his appearance as King Shenwu, and then quickly walked towards the imperial city.
Su Linyu had just returned from the underworld. Although she had taken the pill to replenish her vitality, her body was still very weak.
At this time, she was pacing back and forth under the willow tree pretending to be calm.
Until, in her eyes, that familiar voice came from the riverside.
The blood connection between mother and son made her recognize the person in an instant, but she couldn't believe that she was dreaming.
Until Xia Ji walked up to her and called "Mother" softly.
Su Linyu still couldn't believe it.
"Mom." Xia Ji called again.
Su Linyu sniffed and his eyes turned red.
Xia Ji smiled and shouted again: "Mom, it's me."
The connection between mother and son made Su Linyu no longer able to suppress her inner emotions, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She cried and threw herself into her son's arms, then with her voice choked, she said quickly: "Xiaoji, it was two people from the Su family who brought me back from the underworld.
A man and a woman are still nearby, you... be careful.
I'm worried that they are going to take advantage of your excitement to sneak up on you. You have to be vigilant and not get excited. "
"I know, mother."
"They say you are King Shenwu? They say you are the great enemy of the family, that you killed the emperor to avenge me, that you dominate the northern border in Fuyu Mountain, that you..."
Xia Ji listened quietly without saying a word. After Su Linyu finished speaking, he took Su Linyu's left hand with both hands like a child and said, "Mom, let's go back to the palace. Now that Xiao Su has become the queen, you are in the palace." There’s no one to watch out for anymore.”
Su Linyu stiffened and looked a little bad. She asked softly: "Xia Xiaosu, has she ever been abnormal?"
"No."
Su Linyu grabbed his hand and said, "Xiaoji, let's go to the inn first."
Xia Ji didn't ask why, and obeyed: "Okay, I will listen to you. But I still have a mansion. If you don't want to enter the palace, let's go to the mansion first."
"All right."
Xia Ji wrapped her in a cloak and put on a hood, and he also put on a hood.
Suddenly, the sound of hundreds of officials dispersing came from behind.
Xia Ji looked back at the direction of the palace, then took his mother's hand and returned to the secret mansion. After helping her onto the bed, he selected among the many skill beads and took out a few skill beads related to cooking and used them instantly. , and then cooked himself, using master-level techniques to prepare a lot of warming delicacies and brought them to the bedroom.
Su Linyu ate slowly. She was less than thirty when she died, but after swimming on the edge of the underworld for so long, her whole body showed a sense of weakness and paleness.
She quietly glanced at the bronze mirror, looking a little sad.
Xia Ji said: "I will make up for it."
Su Linyu nodded.
After she had almost eaten, Xia Ji asked: "Mom, what's wrong with Xiao Su?"
Su Linyu lowered his head and said calmly: "I picked her up."
Xia Ji knew that his mother didn't want to mention the Guan family, nor did she want to talk about the past. He pretended not to know, but said: "I tried, Xiao Su's blood and mine are from the same source."
Su Linyu hesitated, looked up at his son in front of him, and thought in his heart, "If you don't trust him, who can you trust?" Then he said, "When I picked her up, she was wrapped in a blood-colored Taoist robe, lying in the ice and snow. Li cried loudly, the blood was hers.
I didn't know what to think, so I tried it with my own blood, and it turned out that I could fuse with her, so I brought her back and raised her as my daughter.
Don't blame Mom, Mom couldn't do anything at the time, because... the aristocratic family asked Mom to have another daughter, but Mom didn't want to have a daughter, so... she appeared. "
Xia Ji pretended to be shocked and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying: "But, mother, haven't you always been very good to Xiao Su?"
Su Linyu said: "Think about it carefully. Did my mother leave her alone most of the time, which is why she developed a crying and withdrawn character?"
Xia Ji hesitated and said: "Mom, Xiao Su is a very normal girl. I have always regarded her as my sister, and I will continue to do so in the future.
Don't think too much, Xiao Su is your daughter, and she has always missed you. After you left, she cried many times.
If I don’t say anything about this matter, and if you don’t say it, it will just rot in your stomach, okay? "
Su Linyu said: "I..."
Xia Ji suddenly asked: "Where did you pick her up?"
Su Linyu's eyes froze, her thin lips pursed tightly, because of the excitement, her eyes began to move back and forth, as if she remembered something.
"I… "
She looked a little unnatural.
Xia Ji immediately understood that his sister might have a problem. Although he wanted to know the answer, he saw that his mother was becoming more and more emotionally unstable. How could a son force his mother
So, he hurriedly said: "Mom, don't think about it."
Su Linyu: "I'm sorry, Xiaoji. Mom has forgotten many things."
Xia Ji knew that she deliberately didn't want to say it, but he actually didn't want to know either. He only knew that Xiao Su was his sister and mother's daughter. That was enough. Why bother to find out the truth
No matter how special it is, it is nothing more than Jedi, aristocratic family, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, righteousness, demons...
Whatever it is, so what
It's still a bad omen for me. Does it matter that my sister has a special life experience
"Mom, you have a good rest, I will take you back to the palace, trust me."
Su Linyu hesitated for a while. She looked at the young man in front of her quietly. This was her son. If she didn't believe in her son, who else could she believe in this world
However, she suddenly asked: "Xiaoji, how did you know that I was under the willow tree outside the palace?"
Xia Jidao: "I made a secret deal with someone, but this matter must be kept absolutely confidential. When we return to the palace, Xiao Su and I will temporarily arrange a false identity for you. I'm sorry for wronging you."
Su Linyu was just surprised that the two Su family members who took her out were extremely strong, and the head of the family who took her out later was her biological father.
She looked at their words and found that her father was actually obeying the words of those two people, which made her feel unfathomable.
Can my son make deals with people of this level
Su Linyu asked worriedly: "Xiaoji, what did you give them?"
Xia Ji casually made up a few lies.
As Su Linyu listened, he felt sleepy.
She lay back on the bed, and Xia Ji sat beside the bed and patiently talked with her for a while, and didn't get up until she fell asleep.
…
After Xia Ji closed the door softly,
He looked calmly into the distance, seeming to be sighing.
Then, he walked out of the secret mansion pretending to be casual and headed towards the palace.
…
At this time, it was mid-afternoon, and the spring sky light cast the shadows of trees and walls diagonally onto the ground.
After Xia Ji "left".
A long time passed.
The shadow in the corner actually started to tremble,
A ghostly figure walked out.
To be precise, it's not walking, but crawling.
It was a woman wrapped in white clothes, with pale skin and disheveled hair, covering an unknown face underneath.
She climbed up very quickly, her fingers were like animal's webbed feet without making any sound.
Unless you see her with your own eyes, you can't imagine that there is something like this here. It's like she is invisible.
She crawled along the shadow to the door of the master bedroom, and suddenly paused again, as if sensing whether Xia Ji had gone far.
For a short moment, she had apparently confirmed it, so she looked at the door in the sunlight, moved her limbs together, and crawled over in a weird posture.
As soon as she arrived in front of the door, her head rose at a strange angle, forming an angle of 90 degrees with her body.
She pushed aside her messy hair, stared into the room with a blood-red pupil.
—There was a woman lying on the bed in the house.
- Yinjun let himself stare at this area, especially at this courtyard. This is the first time someone has come here, right
—Not only that, the long-lost King Shenwu actually appeared again.
—Then we need to inform Yinjun and inform the family.
The woman in white finished her thoughts, and she carefully grabbed a long scroll-like tube from her arms. This was the Wu family's high-level space magic weapon - the Curse Picture, and it was an important magic weapon given by the ancestor.
The principle of the magic weapon is very strange:
Select nine living people who live happily, and then use their family members as sacrifices, and then torture these nine people to death in the most vicious way to generate resentment.
The nine grievances are combined and unified, and then the evil spirit hidden in the grievance map itself is used to form an existence that exceeds the evil spirit. This is the grievance.
The curse will linger forever in the place where he was tortured to death.
However, the Grudge Map can contain the Grudge. The person holding the Grudge Map can use the Grudge to return to a fixed location with just one thought. However, the Grudge Map cannot harm the person holding the Grudge Map.
This curse map is not only difficult and time-consuming to make, but also like other magic weapons, there are usage costs and intervals between uses, and the person carrying this magic weapon will be affected by the curse in the picture and become a ghost. Not ghost.
The woman in white decided to go back and report.
She opened the picture and pressed her pale palm down on it.
suddenly…
She froze.
A sharp pain came.
Then, she felt that her right arm had been completely shattered.
It was a flying knife that flew out of her palm and shattered almost all the meridians in her body.
The woman in white's tolerance for pain has obviously reached a terrifying level.
She was stunned for a few moments, and her left hand was already pressing towards the curse map.
As long as the magic weapon is still there, as long as the picture is pressed, she will escape immediately.
But, she thought too much.
The sky suddenly darkened, and miles of black clouds turned into a powerful demonic shadow coming from afar. The air seemed to be filled with the excitement of the armored horses at this moment. Thousands of black-armored cavalry galloped across the sky, and the air flow was growing. It was torn between the fronts and roared vertically and horizontally.
The woman in white felt a chill in her heart. The original serious injury, coupled with the unknown coercion at this moment, made her move a beat slower.
With this slow snap, she saw the true appearance of the demonic figure:
Pitch black, entwined with cold magic smoke, double crescent moons, and a long halberd eight feet long.
Tear apart space.
Turn hundreds of feet of distance into just a few feet.
As soon as she saw it, the ferocious black halberd was in front of her.
The next moment, the halberd penetrated her chest, and the huge force took her far back into the sky.
At the same time, a tyrannical figure came from a distance. The figure flew into the air, grabbed the end of the halberd with his right hand, and looked down at her. At the same time, he turned his palm over and pressed the halberd hard against the ground.
Keng! !
She had been nailed to the ground.
Xia Ji moved the curse map with his left hand, and the album was retracted and put back into the tube.
The frightened eyes of the woman in white saw the boy in the python robe.
"A member of a noble family?"
"Shen...wu..."
Xia Ji glanced at the master bedroom behind him from the corner of his eye. His mother had just fallen asleep.
So, he picked up the halberd in his hand and fired. The black halberd took the woman in white and shot directly into the distance.
In mid-air, the black halberd frantically absorbed the woman's blood essence. By the time it hit the ground, the woman was completely dead.
Xia Ji raised his hand and sucked it, and the black halberd fell back into his hand.
"I know you won't say anything, so I won't waste my time."
At this time, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Su Linyu looked around and saw a terrifying black halberd in his son's hand. The black halberd was filled with burning demonic energy, and the aura around his son was like the deep sea. She was stunned for a moment and forgot to say anything.
With a thought in Xia Ji's mind, the air current pushed the dust and covered the remaining blood on the ground.
"Mom, I'm practicing martial arts, did I wake you up?"
Su Linyu said nervously: "I really want to hear the sound of fighting. Are there enemies?"
Xia Ji smiled and said: "How can there be enemies? Just go to sleep without worries."
Su Linyu waved.
Xia Ji put away the black halberd and followed her into the house.
Su Linyu looked at him with empty eyes, stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said: "There is bright moonlight in front of the bed."
Xia Ji showed doubts.
This life is this life, why do you care about time travel? The woman in front of him conceives him, gives birth to him, and raises him, and she will also fulfill her filial piety. This is enough. And my mother doesn’t seem very reliable, nor does she seem like a person who can keep secrets very well.
So, he asked: "Mom... do you want to write a poem?"
Su Linyu said: "The river flows eastward..."
Xia Ji: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Su Linyu suddenly said again: "The king of heaven overshadows the tiger of earth!"
Xia Ji:…
"Odd changes to even and stays the same!"
Xia Ji:…
"Where does it hurt! My throat is dry!"
Xia Ji:…
Su Linyu didn't give up and suddenly said: "Do you from earth?"
Xia Ji:…
He really wanted to tell his mother that instead of saying "do you", he should say "are you". Also, should he add "the" before "earth"
It seems that my mother's academic performance is not good.
But he didn't say anything, and looked confused from beginning to end.
Su Linyu looked stunned and murmured: "It's not Golden Finger?"
Xia Jiqi asked: "Golden Finger, is it some kind of magic weapon? Mom, why are you acting so weird?"
Su Linyu pondered for a moment, "It's my mother who thinks too much."
Immediately, she became worried again, and leaned closer and whispered: "Xiaoji, tell your mother honestly, you didn't practice martial arts when you were a child, why are you so strong all of a sudden?"
Xia Ji solemnly said: "Hate makes me stronger."
Su Linyu: "But isn't this too strong?"
Xia Ji said: "Mom, people's potential is endless. And the child has some adventures."
So, he told the story made by others, "King Shenwu is nothing, he just received the initiation and inheritance from Leiyin Temple", and told it again with great emotion.
Su Linyu knew that this world was magical. After listening to the lies, she felt that the logic was smooth, so she nodded and went back to sleep.
Xia Ji felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he took another string of Tathagata bracelets to her, and then went out, looking coldly in the direction of the woman in white.
…
The next day, afternoon.
Xia Ji drove a carriage and took Su Linyu into the palace.
The palace guards only knew that this Jianghu myth had been practicing, so they were not surprised when they saw him coming from outside. They all knelt down and shouted respectfully: "I have seen King Shenwu."
The carriage entered the palace and then the harem.
This is the prerogative of King Shenwu.
In the palace, he and the queen were the only two people who had no taboos.
Xia Ji took Su Linyu's hand and got out of the car, stopping outside the arch of the Imperial Study Room.
He glanced at his mother,
Su Linyu's eyes flickered a little, as if she didn't want to see the daughter she picked up.
Xia Ji squeezed her hand, and Su Linyu nodded.
At this time, the door of the imperial study room opened, and the queen in golden dragon robe came out. Su Linyu also took off her hood. Mother and daughter looked at each other. Xia Xiaosu suddenly started crying. Although she had heard what her brother said yesterday, She was still in disbelief and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Su Linyu also felt like a relative at this moment. She gently rubbed the queen's hair and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Ji smiled when he saw this scene. This is the home he wants.
…
A few days later.
He sat back in the secret room again, holding the curse picture in his hand.
During the time he spent with Su Tian, he learned more about magic weapons and the world.
Before, he would have never recognized this thing, but now he not only knows it, but can also use it.
This kind of evil magic weapon was truly insane and devoid of any humanity, which made him feel murderous in his heart.
"The woman in white should be from the Wu family.
The reason why she monitors that mansion is
Xia Ji should have asked her to do this.
Xia Ji and Prince Gu Chen are siblings. It is not surprising that she knows the existence of this mansion, and monitoring this mansion may be an opportunity to recover the other underworld masks.
From another perspective, Xia Ji probably knows about my alliance with the prince, and since I disappeared for so long, she must be trying to get more information by casting a wide net.
After all, she is now the hidden queen of the Wu family. "
Xia Ji was wearing a python robe, sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, thinking. After a long time, there was light in his eyes. When he looked at the curse picture again, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed it down.
No matter where this exit leads...
I will cut off the tentacles you stretch out.
Wu family, here I come.
