Su Fengnuan took the black box handed to her by Master Wangti, opened it, and saw a scroll of kraft paper inside.
There is not a word on the surface of this scroll. The scroll is very thin and looks old, but it is well preserved without any damage.
She opened it, and the first page was a portrait of a character. She recognized this portrait and had seen it not long ago. It was the patriarch of the Wangdi Mountain School. At the bottom of the picture scroll, his life and deeds are annotated. Although there are only a few words, it tells the whole of his life.
He is the descendant of the orthodox royal family who has been handed down from the beginning of the dynasty at the beginning of the creation of the world.
When he passed away, he deduced that the change of dynasty was natural and could not be disobeyed, so he buried the Jade Seal of Chuanguo with him at the foot of Hanchi Mountain. Waiting for the descendants of Wangdi Mountain, those who have enlightenment, inherit his legacy, choose the master of enlightenment to vote, and keep the people of the world in Chang'an.
After him, no one in Wangdi Mountain has crossed the barrier between heaven and earth, and his secret has been buried for thousands of years following his death.
It wasn't until the end of the former dynasty that Wangdi Mountain accepted a disciple of the former royal family Zhan Yi, and Wangdi Mountain regained its relationship with the royal family after being the orthodox royal family status of the patriarch.
It was precisely because of accepting Zhan Yi that the entanglement between Wangdi Mountain and the royal family for more than a hundred years began.
When Zhan Yi entered the gate of Wangdi Mountain, he was still a child. Not long after he entered the mountain gate, the previous dynasty perished. The Taizu of the Southern Qi Dynasty won the hearts of the people and won the world. With the support of the deployment, he established the Southern Qi Dynasty.
After the Taizu of the previous dynasty established the dynasty, the famous celestial master at that time was invited to choose the capital, and that day's master was Ling Zhu, the head of Wangdi Mountain, and Zhan Yi's master. He is good at watching the stars, pushing spells, and studying the five elements and eight trigrams. Zhan Yi is his only apprentice. Under Zhan Yi's pleading, he couldn't bear it, so he changed the address of the dragon vein of the new dynasty from Lingyun Temple to the current Southern Qi imperial city.
Soon after the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Taizu died, Gaozu ascended the throne, Zhan Yi grew up, and married Yingsu, the daughter of Southern Qi Gaozu. Yingsu gave up her princess status and lived in Wangdi Mountain with Zhanyi. Three years later, she gave birth to a son Qinghuang. Ling Zhu loved Qinghuang very much, and after he remembered the matter, he personally took him by his side.
When Qinghuang was young, Zhan Yi traveled to the south of the Yangtze River and brought back Ye Yan, the daughter of the Ye family in Jiangnan. At that time, Ye Yan was pregnant and was about to give birth. Princess Yingsu made a big fuss in Wangdi Mountain, and when she learned that Zhanyi married her to restore the country, she was heartbroken for a moment and killed herself with hatred. After Ye Yan followed Zhanyi into Wangdi Mountain, she learned that he had a wife and children. For a while, she was also very frightened and angry, and her fetal gas moved, resulting in premature delivery.
After Ye Yan gave birth prematurely, she gave birth to a lin'er. Zhan Yi carried Ye Yan's back and exchanged the lin'er to the Southern Qi Palace.
He had been prepared for a long time, and all the timings were just right, so even the Queen Mother didn't know that her child had been replaced. I just think that when she was pregnant, she may have worked too much, which caused the child to be born weak. The first emperor and Xu's family searched for expensive and good medicines, which naturally saved his life. Although he was weak, he still lived peacefully.
And after Zhan Yi changed back to that child, Ye Yan soon discovered it.
Ye Yan was angry and anxious, and passed out.
After Ling Zhu learned about it, he was also short of breath and couldn't afford to get sick.
A master who was in charge of the Discipline Hall in Wangdi Mountain thought over and over again, and felt that the matter was too big. It was one crime for Wangdi Mountain to accept the descendants of the former royal family as disciples. The prince is three crimes. If these three crimes are added together, if it is spread, Wangdi Mountain will be destroyed.
This master had a good relationship with Zhan Yi, and he was very brotherly. He couldn't bear to drive him out of Wangdi Mountain, so he discussed countermeasures with Ling Zhu.
After Zhan Yi finished these things, he knelt in front of Ling Zhu's bed to plead guilty.
Ling Zhu felt that no matter whether he beat Zhan Yi or scolded him, the disaster had already happened, and there was no room for redemption. If he forcibly redeemed it, then Wangdi Mountain would be implicated and the thousand-year-old foundation of Wangdi Mountain established by the patriarch would be ruined. .
He felt that he was the sinner of Wangdi Mountain by accepting this apprentice. Zhan Yi is his only disciple, who has followed him since he was a child. He and Zhan Yi are no different from father and son. If he cannot be expelled from Wangdi Mountain, it will be difficult to make a decision for a while.
The master who is in charge of the Discipline Hall feels that the child returned by Zhan Yi cannot stay in Wangdi Mountain, but if he kills this child, as a disciple of Wangdi Mountain, he will not be able to kill innocent lives, especially if this child is still the real Southern Qi. Prince. So, after some consideration, he made his own decision, gritted his teeth and discarded the child he brought back at the foot of Wangdi Mountain as an abandoned son of Wangdi Mountain.
Ling Zhu had no choice but to feel that this was the end of the matter and that was the only way to go.
At that time, Qinghuang was traveling and looking back at Emperor Mountain. He couldn't accept her mother's death, her father's change of heart, and the elders of the Discipline Hall abandoning his younger brother for a while. He was a kind-hearted person, so he went down the mountain secretly, picked up the abandoned child, chose a house, and settled it in secret.
Ling Zhu knew what Qinghuang was doing, so he didn't stop him.
After Ye Yan woke up, all thoughts were lost, and she had the idea of suicide. After all, Zhan Yi loved Ye Yan more than Ying Su, who has royal blood, stopped Ye Yan, and swore that he had fulfilled his wish in this life. Things of the past and present.
Ye Yan also loves Zhan Yi. Faced with the hatred of the country and the family, it is understandable for him to do all kinds of things. With a soft heart, she hugged him and cried bitterly.
Zhan Yi felt that everything in the past was like a big dream. After Ye Yan got better, he took him to bid farewell to Ling Zhu and everyone in Wangdi Mountain, and left Wangdi Mountain. Since then, no trace of them has been found.
There are historical records in Wangdi Mountain, which only record that Zhan Yi and Yingsu lived and flew together, but Yingsu had already committed suicide, and Zhan Yi and Ye Yan left Wangdi Mountain. Apart from leaving a secret, Wangdi Mountain did not leave any records about Ye Yan to the outside world.
Not long after Zhan Yi left, Ling Zhu had already reached the limit of his destiny, so he called Qinghuang, whom he brought up with one hand, to him, and passed him the emperor's order from Wangdi Mountain. However, he concealed the fact that it was not his own younger brother that he secretly arranged for the prince of Nanqi, so he thought it would be better not to tell him.
After Ling Zhu left, only the ancestor who was in charge of the Discipline Hall knew about this secret, and he had only one disciple under his seat, who is the current ancestor Wangti.
I forgot to mention that the master has guarded this secret for a lifetime. Today, when Su Fengnuan asked, he just revealed it.
After reading this secret story, Su Fengnuan wanted to say that Zhan Yi was really nothing, that he had failed Yingsu, but he also felt that personal grievances and hatred seemed insignificant in front of national hatred and family hatred. She is not Zhan Yi, she doesn't know how he grew up with the country's demise at a young age, and she has no right to comment.
It's just that the three of them, his master, the current emperor, and Lin Ke, have made people sigh all their lives. It can be said that fate tricks people.
