Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

When Xiaoyao woke up, she saw that the sun was shining brightly outside the window and the peach blossoms were in full bloom.She didn't know where this was, but she knew for sure that she was still alive. Xiaoyao covered her eyes with her hands, she knew that even death would be so difficult, no matter what, she shouldn't have given the Gu seeds to Xiangliu! After a while, Xiaoyao sat up in her clothes and raised her voice to ask, "Is anyone there? Where is this?" In the shadow of the crimson flowers, a white shadow floated over. For a moment, Xiaoyao almost forgot to breathe. When she saw a pair of green eyes, she let out a breath slowly and asked, "Lieyang, why am I here?" Yushan?"

"You are sick, Zhuanxu sent you here to ask the Queen Mother to treat you." Zhuanxu said she was sick?That means illness... Xiaoyao asked, "Where's Zhuanxu?" "gone." Xiaoyao felt relieved and asked, "The queen mother saved me?" Lie Yang didn't speak, turned into a white bird and flew out of the courtyard. Jun Jun walked in and said with a smile: "Your body is fine. Although your breath is gone, your heart veins are not broken. The Queen Mother saw that you can exchange breath in the water, and sank you into the Yaochi. I borrowed some jade mountains from you. Reiki, you wake up."

Xiao Yao smiled wryly, the mortal poison could not kill her, the deal between her and Xiang Liu made her seem to have nine lives.But, what's the point of living like this? Seeing Xiaoyao's sad expression, Mr. Xi said gently: "You should stay in Yushan for a while! Queen Mother's time is short, even if His Majesty Heidi doesn't send you here, I plan to pick you up." Xiao Yao looked at Jun Xi in shock. Jun Jun said calmly: "Don't feel uncomfortable, there is life and there is death." Xiaoyao thought about it, and also, when life is unrequited, death is actually a kind of relief.Xiao Yao said, "I want to see the Queen Mother."

Jun Xie said: "The queen mother is conscious, I will take you there." The Queen Mother was sitting on the porch admiring the flowers. When she saw Xiaoyao, she was not surprised at all, but waved her hand: "Xiaoyao, have you had breakfast yet? Let's go together!" How often has Xiaoyao seen such an amiable Queen Mother?If Jun Xi and Lie Yang were not there, she would have suspected that someone was pretending to be the Queen Mother. Xiao Yao bowed her head to the Queen Mother, picked up the peach blossom honey water, and drank a few sips. What the Queen Mother drank was wine, and while she was drinking, she looked at pieces of jade plates, on which were painted portraits of women with small characters next to them.

The Queen Mother looked at it for a while, and impatiently threw a box of jade plates on the ground, and the maid hurriedly picked them up.A woman in plain clothes came from the peach blossom forest and said to the Queen Mother: "You should know your body, maybe you won't wake up one day, you have to make a decision." Xiaoyao remembered that her name was Shui Hong, and she was in charge of guarding the body. Yushan's treasure underground palace rarely shows up. Xiaoyao has only seen her three or four times in the seventy years she lived in Yushan. The Queen Mother poured a glass of wine with her head up, played with the empty glass and said, "You also know that I am going to die, why don't you let me be quiet for a few days?"

Shui Hong held the jade dish box to the Queen Mother: "I let you be quiet, and when you die, I will not be quiet!" The Queen Mother said: "They are all good girls, I don't understand why they want to be the Queen Mother." She was holding a jade plate, just about to look at it, then put it down again, stared at Xiaoyao, and asked: "Xiaoyao, what do you think?" Think about the future?" Xiao Yao asked blankly, "What?" The Queen Mother said leisurely: "Sometimes, you can go anywhere in the vast world, and a place with peace of mind is home; sometimes, there is nowhere to go in the vast world, and you even don't hesitate to die to get rid of it. Yushan is not a good place, but it is left behind. Independence, isolated from the world of mortals. Xiaoyao, are you willing to stay and be the queen mother and take charge of Yushan?"

The queen mother's expression seemed to know everything, Xiaoyao's eyes were sour, the world was in Zhuanxu's hands, even if she wanted to see Huangquan and Biluo never see each other, there was nowhere to hide, and only Yushan, who was left alone in the world, could give A place for him to stay. Xiao Yao said, "I am willing!" The Queen Mother clapped her hands and said to Shui Hong, "Okay, the matter is settled, you can disappear." Shui Hong looked at Xiaoyao and sighed: "I never thought that the person who is most unwilling to stay in Yushan will stay in Yushan forever." Shui Hong put away the jade plate and left lightly.

Lie Yang flew down on the peach blossom branch and said, "Xiaoyao, being the Queen Mother means that you will never be able to go down the Jade Mountain, and you will be alone for the rest of your life. Have you really thought it through?" Xiaoyao said: "I figured it out. Although the world is big, I have nowhere to go. Staying in Yushan to be the queen mother is my only destination." In the past, she was greedy for the beautiful scenery outside, but now, she has lost Everything, all the scenery has nothing to do with her. She is tired and just wants to have a peaceful world to spend the rest of her life.

Lie Yang didn't say a word anymore, Mr. Xie wanted to object, but he couldn't think of a reason to object, maybe at this point, Yushan is indeed Xiaoyao's only destination. Seeing that there was no objection, the Queen Mother said, "In three days, it will be announced to the world that the new Queen Mother will take over Yushan." After returning from Yushan, Zhuanxu ordered people to investigate Shennongshan carefully, and finally found a lake in Shennongshan suitable for Xiaoyao to sleep. Zhuanxu summoned experts and set up layers of formations with divine weapons, which can not only enrich the spiritual energy, but also protect Xiaoyao.After everything was arranged, Zhuanxu came to Yushan to pick up Xiaoyao in person.

The last time I came to see the Queen Mother, because the Queen Mother was seriously ill, the Queen Mother met the Black Emperor in Langya Cave where he lived, but this time the maid led Zhuanxu and his party to the main hall of Yushan. Along the way, the puppet maids came and went, decorating the palace, looking busy and celebrating. Zhuan Xu was puzzled and asked, "Is the Queen Mother in good health?" The maid replied respectfully: "Your Majesty's illness is getting worse and she no longer sees guests, but your Majesty has already chosen a successor Queen Mother, and now the bride is in charge of all affairs in Yushan."

Zhuanxu said in surprise, "It turns out that the new Queen Mother has taken over the affairs of Yushan, why didn't she announce it?" The maid said: "It's scheduled to be announced to the world on the 19th, and the succession ceremony will be held, and that's tomorrow." Zhuanxu still found it weird, but the Queen Mother's behavior was always weird, so she couldn't judge it with common sense. Walking to the gate of the hall, the maid stopped, and Shui Hong came out to greet him, and saluted Zhuanxu: "Shui Hong, the deacon of Yushan, has seen His Majesty the Black Emperor." Zhuanxu said modestly and politely: "It's the first time I saw the new Queen Mother today, and I didn't prepare any congratulations, and came empty-handed. I'm really sorry." Shui Hong said: "It's Yushan's rudeness to let His Majesty come here without knowing it. Your Majesty should not be offended. The succession ceremony will be held tomorrow. If Your Majesty has time, you might as well stay for two days and leave after watching the ceremony." Zhuanxu hesitated, Yushan had a special status, and the Queen Mother was kind to him, and being able to invite him to watch the ceremony was also Yushan's respect for him, but now the battle between Yishou and Gonggong has reached its final juncture, and today is a busy day At the time of departure, he planned to pick up Xiaoyao after thanking the Queen Mother, and leave immediately. Shui Hong said: "Your Majesty is not in a hurry to make a decision, whether to go or stay is not at this moment. Your Majesty, please!" Zhuanxu stepped into the palace gate, and saw that the deep palace was divided into three parts by bead curtains.Eighteen windows on both sides are wide open. On one side is a thousand miles of peach blossoms leaning against the clouds, and on the other side is a vast expanse of blue waves connecting the sky. The weather is open and beautiful. Across the triple beaded curtain, at the end of the hall, there is a woman in white standing by the window, playing with a crimson peach blossom in her hand.She seemed to be admiring the misty waves, faint green hills, and long white clouds, and seemed to be waiting impatiently for someone. Her fingers inadvertently tore off the peach petals. Zhuanxu thought to himself, wondering what kind of strange temperament this new Queen Mother is. As Zhuanxu moved, the maid lifted the beaded curtains one after another, and when the maid lifted the last beaded curtain, a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing all the peach blossom petals under the woman's feet, and they were flying in the peach blossom-filled palace. In the middle, the woman in white slowly turned around. Zhuanxu had already put on a polite smile, but in an instant, his smile froze, and he called out in shock, "Xiaoyao—" Xiaoyao went to sit in front of the Queen Mother's throne in the center of the hall, and raised her hand as a gesture of invitation: "Your Majesty, please sit down." Zhuanxu already understood it in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. He didn't bother to ask Xiaoyao how he woke up. He rushed to Xiaoyao and asked anxiously, "Xiaoyao, why are you dressed like a queen mother?" "Tomorrow, I will be the Queen Mother." "Do you know what that means?" "Yushan is the place where I have lived for seventy years, and I am very clear about my decision." Zhuanxu was filled with grief and anger, and almost roared, "The queen mother can't go down to Yushan, she must be alone all her life! You are painting the ground as a prison and imprisoning yourself to death! Even if Jing is dead, even if you look down on me, but you still have to live forever!" It's very long, the world is so big, you can always find another person to accompany you! Is there no one person or thing in the whole world that is worthy of your nostalgia?" Xiao Yao said calmly: "Your Majesty, please sit down! Also, please call me Queen Mother. From now on, there will only be Queen Mother of Yushan, and there will be no names outside the world." Zhuanxu shook his head, grabbed Xiaoyao's hand, and dragged Xiaoyao away: "You come with me to see the Queen Mother, and I will make it clear to her that you cannot be the Queen Mother, let her find someone else!" Yushan's maid blocked their way: "Please let Your Majesty Hei Di let go of your mother!" Zhuanxu's guards stood beside Zhuanxu and drew their weapons. Shui Hong walked in and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, this is Yushan. Yushan has never intervened in world disputes, and people in the world must not interfere with Yushan's affairs! Going against the ancient precepts, everyone from Pangu to Fuxi and Nuwa respected Yushan! His Majesties Huangdi and Baidi also treated Yushan with courtesy, and please don’t forget the ancient precepts and give Yushan some favors!" Xiaoyao said to Zhuanxu's guards: "There are no weapons in Yushan! All the magic weapons in the world will not be effective in Yushan. If it is convenient to beat people, it is better to have a peach tree branch in Yushan. You should quickly put away your weapons!" It was only then that the guards remembered that there seemed to be such a rumor, glanced at Zhuanxu, and put away their weapons one after another in embarrassment. Xiaoyao said to Yushan's maid: "Retire too!" The maid immediately retreated to the side, and even Shui Hong retreated outside the bead curtain.Apparently, Xiaoyao, the Queen Mother of Jade Mountain, was quite majestic.Zhuan Xu's whole body was cold, as if he was having a nightmare, and his heart kept falling, falling into a bottomless abyss. Xiaoyao said to Zhuanxu: "Two days ago, I woke up. Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to send a blue bird to report to you, but I stopped it. On the day I woke up, I made the decision to take over Yushan. My mother was afraid that I would be confused for a moment, so she deliberately delayed the announcement for three days to give me time to regret it. Zhuanxu, no one forced me, it was my own decision!" Zhuanxu held Xiaoyao's hand, tightening it tighter and tighter, as if he was about to become a shackle and never let go, he murmured, "Why?" Xiaoyao smiled faintly, as if saying that the matter had nothing to do with her: "Zhuanxu, don't you know why? I could have married and had children like an ordinary woman in the world, and lived an ordinary and happy life. Take it away! I can't kill you, I can't die, I can't even leave you! Everyone in the world knows that I am Chi You's daughter, and the whole world is your territory, even if I can escape The pursuit of those clans cannot hide from your pursuers. Zhuanxu, the world is so big, but you have already forced me, and there is no place for me except by your side!" "As long as you don't become the queen mother, I can give up..." Xiaoyao shook her head: "Zhuanxu, I'm tired, let me rest!" Zhuanxu held Xiaoyao's hand tightly and begged, "Xiaoyao, as long as you don't become the Queen Mother, I will give you freedom and go wherever you want!" Xiaoyao knelt down and looked up at Zhuanxu, "Brother, please, for the sake of past affection, allow me to be the queen mother, and give me a place in the world." Her expression was calm, and there was neither love nor hatred in her dark eyes, only the silence of everything that could not be missed. Once upon a time, these eyes were crystal clear like glass, Gu Panjian was clever and cute, happy, proud, longing, worried, angry, sad... Even the last days in Shennong Mountain were full of hatred. But now, there is nothing!Dried up like a dead well... Zhuan Xu was so startled that he lost all strength in his body, and even staggered back two steps. Xiaoyao withdrew her hand naturally, without any emotional fluctuations, still kneeling, said to Zhuanxu calmly: "Please allow me to be the Queen Mother." Zhuanxu didn't dare to face those eyes, they were reminding him that the Xiaoyao who accompanied him all the way, the Xiaoyao who was not knocked down by any difficulties, was dead!He was the one who forced her to death step by step! Zhuan Xu's body was on the verge of falling, he looked at Xiao Yao, and retreated step by step.Suddenly, he turned around and fled out of the hall, stumbling out of the beaded curtains, his figure disappeared outside the hall amidst the crisp sound of pearls colliding. Xiaoyao stood up slowly, and gave orders to Shui Hong: "If His Majesty Heidi wants to stay for one night, please treat him well; if His Majesty wants to leave, then please send him off respectfully. Everything else will be handled according to our previous discussion." Shui Hong bowed and saluted: "Yes." At night, by the Yaochi. Xiaoyao was dressed in plain white clothes, her hair was loosely tied up, her feet were dangling in the air, she was sitting on the railing of the waterside pavilion, staring blankly at the figure reflected in the blue waves. Mr. Xi walked through the peach blossom forest in full bloom, walked into the water pavilion, and said to Xiaoyao, "His Majesty Hei Di didn't say to leave, nor did he say to stay, but he has been sitting on the top of the cliff, facing the direction of Xuanyuan Mountain, without eating Don't drink, don't speak." Xiao Yao said lightly: "Let him go! Anyway, he can only stay for three days at most." Jun Xie said: "Xiaoyao, have you really made up your mind? Once you become the queen mother, you will be alone for the rest of your life and cannot leave Yushan for the rest of your life! It's too late to regret it now!" "I know you're worried about me, but I've really thought about it! Aren't you and Lie Yang living well in Yushan all these years?" Jun Xie didn't know how to refute, so he looked at Xiaoyao silently and worriedly. Xiao Yao smiled at Jun Jun: "Okay! Alright! Go back and rest! From tomorrow onwards, I will be the Queen Mother, you and Lie Yang must listen to me!" Jun Xie had no choice but to leave, and after walking into the peach forest, he looked over, Xiaoyao was still sitting in the water pavilion in a daze, under the cold moonlight, she was alone, alone.Thinking that this picture will last thousands of years, Mr. Xie couldn't help but sigh. In the early morning, on the Jade Mountain, thousands of miles away are in full bloom, and thousands of hectares of blue waves are rippling with the wind. Under the service of the maid, Xiaoyao put on the most solemn palace clothes and the queen mother's peach blossom crown, and waited for the succession ceremony to take over the jade seal symbolizing Yushan from the queen mother, and announced it to the world She affixed her seal on the document of her succession to the Queen Mother, and she officially took over Yushan. After getting dressed neatly, Xiaoyao, escorted by two teams of maids, walked along the corridor to the altar. On both sides of the white jade corridor, peach trees are planted all over the place, and the flowers bloom luxuriantly. With the breeze, the flowers fall and rustle. Looking at the misty Peach Blossom Rain, Xiaoyao remembered the scene when Jing proposed marriage.It was in Caoaoling of Shennong Mountain, and there were no peach trees on the mountain, but because Jing knew that her parents made love under the peach blossom tree, she deliberately used her spiritual power to create a scene of thousands of miles of peach blossoms in full bloom.Under the sky full of peach blossoms, he said nervously: "Qingqiu Tu Shanjing asks to marry Xiling Jiuyao." Xiaoyao reached out to catch a few fallen flowers, and smiled slightly. The Queen Mother was dressed up and stood on the altar with the support of two maids.Her eyes were clear and she looked at Xiaoyao with a serene expression.Under the altar, stood the only one observing the ceremony——Zhuan Xu, he was pale and haggard, staring at Xiaoyao without blinking. Xiaoyao walked to the altar without squinting, and the Queen Mother said gently: "According to the usual practice, I will ask you one last time. Once you succeed the Queen Mother, you will not be able to go down to Yushan for life, and you will never be able to get married. Would you like to ask?" ?” Before Xiaoyao could speak, Zhuanxu called out: "Xiaoyao—" His eyes were filled with tears, and thousands of words of pleas were silently confided in his eyes. In the shadow of the crimson peach blossoms in the sky, Xiaoyao seemed to see Jing, she held the Luohua tightly in her hand, smiled at him, and said clearly, "I am willing!" The Queen Mother nodded: "Okay!" Zhuan Xu closed his eyes in pain and despair. Shui Hong stepped forward and led Xiaoyao up to the altar, Xiaoyao knelt down slowly, and the queen mother took out the jade seal: "A world of mortals, a mountain is independent, I hope you will uphold the teachings of the ancestors, and your heart is like a mirror..." Xiao Yao stretched out her hands and was about to take the jade seal, suddenly there was a rapid crane cry in the sky, as if someone smashed the door to break through the barrier, everyone looked at the sky in surprise. The Queen Mother was displeased, so she sent out a voice transmission: "Today Yushan does not accept outsiders, who dares to venture into the mountain?" The voice was like thunder, shaking people's headaches and splitting. In the sky full of clouds and colorful lights, a white crane came lightly.On the white crane, a man in Tsing Yi stands upright, his body is like a flowing cloud, and his posture is like a bright moon. Zhuanxu's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help taking a few steps forward. Xiaoyao also stood up suddenly, her eyes wide open, her body trembling. The man in Tsing Yi jumped off the white crane and stood in front of the altar. He seemed to be recovering from a long illness, his face was pale and his body was thin, but his facial features were beautiful, his expression was calm, and he was naturally romantic.Amongst the fallen flowers, he respectfully saluted the Queen Mother: "Qingqiu Tu Shanjing, who came to pick up the junior's fiancée, I have heard from the maid that Yushan is holding the queen mother's succession ceremony and does not accept foreign guests. I should have waited according to the etiquette, but the junior There is a reason for the incident, so I have to force my way, and please invite Queen Mother Haihan." The Queen Mother was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Tu Shanjing? You're not dead?" Jing looked at Xiaoyao in full dress, with tears in her eyes: "Xiaoyao, I'm back, I hope you don't think I'm late!" Jing walked towards Xiaoyao, the maids on both sides of the altar stopped him with mahogany sticks, Jing I don't want to offend the queen mother, so I can only stop.He called softly: "Xiaoyao, don't be the queen mother, you promised to marry me!" Xiaoyao was in a trance, as if in a dream, and walked down the altar step by step, towards Jin Jing. The maids saw that the Queen Mother had no intention of objecting, and put away the peach blossom sticks one after another. Until standing in front of Jing, Xiao Yao still couldn't believe it, she stretched out her hand tremblingly, and stroked Jing's cheek: "Jing, is it really you?" Jing said: "I am Ye Shiqi of Wen Xiaoliu, because there are seventeen leaves on the herb you picked up casually, so I am called Seventeen." Xiao Yao smiled with tears in her eyes: "You really came back!" Jing held her hand: "Sorry, I kept you waiting for too long!" Xiao Yao threw herself into Jing's arms, tears rolling down her cheeks, and whimpered, "Jing, Jing, you're finally back!" Jing hugged her and said, "Don't cry...don't cry..." But Xiaoyao burst into tears, her tears fell like rain, and she beat Jing: "I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you, I don't believe you're dead, every full moon I thought you'd come back, but you always No appointment! I waited too long and thought you would never come back...I thought you really left me...I hate you, hate you..." Jingyou beat and scolded Xiaoyao, saying over and over again: "I know you have suffered a lot, but I missed the appointment, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Xiao Yao lay in Jing's arms, just crying bitterly. After Xiaoyao finished venting and calmed down, it was already half an hour.There was no one in front of the altar for a long time, Xiao Yao and Jing didn't know when they left, it seemed that the Queen Mother's succession ceremony was nothing. Jing looked at Xiaoyao's queen mother's attire, feeling sad and scared at the same time, and said, "Fortunately, I came in time!" Xiao Yao asked, "Where have you been all these years?" Jing said: "Hou forced me to fight with him. While Yiying was talking to Hou, I quietly ate the resurrection pill you gave me, and planned to jump into the clear water to escape. Unexpectedly, I was kicked into Qingshui by Hou. It was in line with my plan, but that kick from Hou was so hard that I passed out immediately after falling into the water. When I woke up again, it was already the morning five days ago, and I was on a deserted island in the East China Sea. A shark couple rescued me. We had a language barrier and it was difficult to communicate. We could only use hand gestures. After a lot of difficulty, I finally understood that they found me unconscious in the sea. They didn’t know who I was or how to save me. Me, I can only be placed on a deserted island, and those herbs are fed to me from time to time. Fortunately, there are countless rare treasures in the bottom of the sea, they were hit by them by mistake, and they rescued me in a daze. I miss you in my heart, and hurried back In the Central Plains, I realized that seven years have passed. His Majesty the Yellow Emperor told me that you are not in Shennong Mountain, and asked me to come to Yushan immediately." Xiaoyao wiped away her tears and said, "I must personally thank the Shark couple who saved you." Jing sighed: "The mermaids wander all their lives and have no fixed residence. When I left, I kept asking how to find them in the future, but I don't know if they didn't understand, or they couldn't tell the direction. They just pointed to the sea. Know if we can see them again." Xiao Yao said: "In the future, we will look for it slowly, there is always hope that we will meet, now we should first go and apologize to the Queen Mother." The breeze is gentle and the sun is shining. Xiaoyao took Jing's hand and walked in the peach blossom forest. As she walked, she glanced at Jing from time to time, as if confirming that Jing was by her side over and over again. Mr. Xie came to meet him, Xiaoyao said to Jing: "This is the Ah Xie who I used to be with you." Jing bent over to salute, but Mr. Huo hurriedly dodged away, Xiaoyao knew that the Yaozu had a strict hierarchy, so she didn't force her.He smiled and said, "You came just in time, accompany us to visit the Queen Mother!" "Don't rush to see the Queen Mother, Zhuanxu is at the top of the cliff..." Jun Jun sighed, "Anyway, go and see him!" Xiao Yao's smile disappeared, and she held Jing's hand tightly, as if afraid that he would disappear.Jing firmly shook Xiaoyao's hand, and said to Mr. Xie, "We will go." After Jun Jun saluted Jing, he left. Xiaoyao tried her best to pretend nothing had happened, smiled and said to Jing: "You wait for me here, I will go back as soon as I go." Jing asked: "Why can't I go to see His Majesty the Black Emperor?" Xiao Yao opened her mouth, but said nothing. Jing said: "Before I went to Qingshui Town, I was very uneasy. I brought a lot of hidden guards on purpose, thinking that I must come back safely to marry you. But the people of Hou were able to encircle and suppress the hidden guards of the Tushan Clan. Something that even the patriarch can't do! At that time, I thought that only one person in the whole world could have such power. Just because I guessed that it was His Majesty the Black Emperor, I speculated that there were other people in Qingshui Town, just in case I missed it , so I can only plan carefully, and gradually approach Qingshui every time I am injured by the harp, and I want to use Qingshui to escape." It turned out that Jing already knew that Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry!" Jing sighed, and took Xiaoyao into his arms, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." "You...you...know why Zhuanxu wants to kill you?" "Even if I didn't think of it then, I understand it now." Xiao Yao murmured: "Since you already know, then you should be careful. I'll go see him, and when he leaves, everything will be fine." Jing said: "When I went to Shennong Mountain to look for you, I had a chat with His Majesty Huangdi. I think I also made a big mistake. Let's go to His Majesty Heidi now and explain everything clearly." Xiaoyao hesitated, not because she didn't want to see Zhuanxu, but she was afraid! Jing said: "His Majesty Heidi is the person you trust the most. Don't lose your confidence in him just because of one mistake! Have you ever thought about why His Majesty didn't stop you from marrying Feng Leong, but prevented you from marrying me?" ? Wasn’t it painful for him to watch you get married back then?” "Because...he thinks you are not as good as Feng Leong." Jing shook her head: "This is only the superficial reason. The most important reason is that Your Majesty believes that I am not capable of protecting you! Since childhood, Your Majesty has suffered too many losses. How could he entrust you to a cowardly and incompetent person? Tell me , where is the way to the top of the cliff?" Xiaoyao pointed the way obediently: "Over there!" The top of the cliff is surrounded by clouds and mist. Zhuan Xu stood alone on the edge of the cliff, as if looking at something.Xiaoyao took a few steps forward, followed the direction he was looking at, and looked far away, but apart from clouds and fog, he couldn't see anything else. Xiao Yao asked softly, "What are you looking at?" Zhuanxu didn't look back, and said gently: "I can't see Xuanyuan Mountain. From Xuanyuan Mountain to Shennong Mountain, I walked step by step. I thought I had everything, but looking back, I didn't see the Phoenix Flower on Chaoyun Peak anymore. No matter how many phoenix trees I plant on Shennong Mountain, they are not the phoenix trees of Chaoyun Peak." Xiao Yao said: "If you stand here, you can't see the phoenix flowers of Chaoyun Peak. If you want to see the phoenix flowers of Chaoyun Peak, go to Chaoyun Peak! You already own the whole world, where do you want to see flowers?" There should still be freedom!" Zhuanxu turned around, and when he saw Xiaoyao, he also saw another person, there was a gentleman like a gui, like a wall, wide and graceful, and clear and yang-like. Jing bowed to Zhuanxu: "I have seen Your Majesty." Standing up, he took Xiaoyao's hand, and there were two figures, one white and one green, like a bright moon and green bamboo, accompanying each other. Zhuan Xu stared at them silently for a while, then looked past them, and looked at the turbulent clouds again. Xiaoyao originally thought that Zhuanxu would say something, or ask something.However, Zhuan Xu neither asked Jing how she survived, nor her future plans. He had no expression on his face, no joy, no sadness, no injury or anger.Jing was also very weird, standing silently all the time, neither asking for an explanation, nor saying goodbye and leaving. Zhuanxu and Jing, one is as motionless as a mountain, and the other is as tall as a green bamboo.Xiao Yao moved uneasily, Jing squeezed her hand, smiled at her, as if saying don't worry, Xiao Yao had to calm down again. Zhuan Xu slowly walked in front of Xiaoyao and Jing, stared at Jing and said, "Before Feng Long died, he told me that you proposed the strategy of 'abandoning Xuanyuan Mountain and occupying Shennong Mountain', and you persuaded him to accept it." Jing replied calmly: "It's me." "Why keep hiding it?" "I didn't think much about it at the time, I just simply thought, what I want is Xiaoyao, why don't I give everything to Fenglong and help him realize what he wants." "Why help me? Because of Xiaoyao?" "No! When I started to go out and learn how to do business, it wasn't long before His Majesty the Yellow Emperor unified the Central Plains. I followed the caravan and traveled all over the wilderness. I saw too many people displaced, and I deeply realized that the world needs someone who truly cares about the world. King. The king of a country is related to the common people in the world, thousands of people. I can abide by the clan rules for Xiaoyao and not support Canglin and Yuyang, but it is absolutely impossible to violate the ancestors' precepts and break the clan rules. Unite the four families and the Central Plains clan to support His Majesty's ascension to the throne. The reason I did that was because His Majesty's mind and talent convinced me that what I did was correct! To this day, I have not regretted my choice, Hong Leong definitely No, our choice and persistence are all correct." Zhuanxu stared deeply at Jing for a moment, then walked past Xiaoyao without saying a word, and walked down the mountain under the protection of the guards.The guards surrounded him, but none of them dared to approach him, they respectfully kept a distance, making Zhuan Xu's figure extremely lonely. Xiaoyao watched Zhuanxu's figure gradually go away, as if watching the most precious part of her life gradually moving away from her, her body hurt as if being torn apart, she covered her heart, and leaned on Jing's shoulder.
