The last time she met her husband, she didn't have time to talk more. Bai Feng only told her that there would be assassins in the palace recently and told Murong Yan to take care of herself.
The two held each other's hands tightly, with complicated expressions. Sometimes they looked sideways, sometimes they looked at their pregnant belly together, and smiled happily. How could they not want to look at each other a few more times and say a few more words from their hearts? However, when people know that they will be separated soon, they can't help but think: It would be better to touch the scenery less and create feelings, so as not to be unable to remember and feel sad later...
"You two, it's almost time." A Taoist Taoist priest with a very reliable appearance opened the door. Seeing Bai Feng and Murong Yan so inseparable, his tone softened slightly and continued: "The witch is going to rest. , General Bai Feng, please come back another day."
This is the latest memory of Bai Feng in Murong Yan's mind - they hugged each other tightly under the surveillance of Taiping Taoists, and he whispered: "Go to the Purple Bamboo Forest to recite Buddha's name and have a baby, and I will come to pick you up." .”
After that, he left, leaving only the Taoist who looked very reliable.
Li Keyong was ordered to take care of the Xianbei witch's daily life until her delivery was completed. During this period, with this identity, he could dispatch almost everyone in Taipingdao at will.
Another uneventful day.
The Xianbei witch was not in trouble because of her special status. She had a kind heart and could understand others. She even gained insight into Li Keyong's past through unknown "witchcraft" several times and gave him guidance.
I feel ashamed to say it, but actually knowing more than ordinary people is not a lucky thing. Murong Yan preached this to herself more than once.
Li Keyong was born in a family that deviated from secular norms.
His father was a rich farmer and had a daughter. However, he had been suffering from the inability to have a child. He remarried and remarried again and again but failed to have an heir. He found a Taoist priest in search of a way to relieve his sorrow. Unexpectedly, the man fell in love with him. Intrigued by the beauty of the master's daughter, he even lied that a "devil" was possessing her and wanted to use the family's magician's method to lift the curse.
That night, the Taoist priests defiled the woman who was living alone at home.
How could a young woman with haircuts know these things? She just felt that her body was very dirty. She soaked in the bucket all night, trying to wipe away the dirty parts of her body... At this time, a greater tragedy happened.
The rich farmer came back drunk at night, and suddenly he bumped into his daughter taking a bath, "Junzhi, you have grown up so beautifully..." After that, he also imitated the Taoist priests in order to drive away "sprites" for his daughter.
Junzhi went crazy after being inhumanely assaulted twice in one night. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to Li Keyong.
The rich farmer claimed that this was the son of his concubine. He was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear every day. He loved Li Keyong very much. From then on, he completely ignored his daughter Junzhi and left her to fend for herself.
Li Keyong actually knew very early that the person he called "sister" since childhood was his biological mother, but he was confused and confused.
"Why did that man treat his sister like this?" He often sent meals and cotton-padded clothes to his sister in private, and secretly took care of her.
Only one day, my father solemnly received an important person who came here. It was said that he was some kind of Taiping Dao Celestial Master.
The man's eyes were narrow and sharp, and he could see through the family's secrets that had been buried for decades at a glance.
"Your father has a superficial appearance and symptoms of kidney essence failure. He should have been extinct. How could he have a son?"
After Li Keyong heard this, he was confused. After a few days, the village chief suddenly came to announce the funeral: "Junzhi is dead!"
After hearing this, Li Keyong's "father" suddenly laughed wildly and shouted: "That monster is finally dead!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Keyong took out a hatchet from nowhere and hacked his "father" to death.
Soon, he was ostracized by the villagers and arrested by the government. When he was desperate, Taiping Road appeared in front of him again.
"You are right, he is not my father at all, but my mother... I failed to show my filial piety." Li Keyong knelt down and begged: "Please tell me, Master Tianshi, why this happened. .”
Master Tianshi said: "Because you and I are still human beings, and only by becoming immortals can we be saved."
Following the teachings of Taiping Taoist Celestial Master Sima Tu, Li Keyong buried his "father" with his own hands. He burned the remains of his "sister" who had been thrown into unknown mountains long ago, burned them into ashes, put them in a columbarium and took them away from the village, where they were worshiped at all times.
"What a miserable first half of life." After getting along day and night, Murong Yan had figured out the details of this "enemy" who was extremely considerate to her, and she could better understand why he was so concerned about her pregnant self.
Taiping Dao advocates the abolition of all secular ethics. In their world, there are no parents, children, brothers and sisters, elders or younger ones, and they are more accustomed to describing others in terms of the depth of their Taoism.
Very heartless, right?
People who do not have the "qualification to become an immortal" will never be valued by others throughout their lives, and the so-called "qualification to become an immortal" is simply nonsense! Because every master has different standards.
"Mother."
This is Li Keyong's only obsession. He lives just to find a way to compensate his mother.
"Senior Brother Li, the Imperial Martial Arts Tournament has begun. I didn't expect that the first round would be a duel between two women. What, senior brother, don't you want to go and see it? I heard that the duel between them was quite exciting!" Another Taiping said When a Taoist disciple passed by this place, he struck up a conversation with Li Keyong.
Li Ke refused with stern words: "No, I have a heavy responsibility. The Heavenly Master has asked me to never leave the vicinity of the Xianbei Witch."
"That's it." The Taiping Dao disciple left disappointed.
Murong Yan in the room suddenly had a brilliant idea. She summoned Li Keyong in and asked, "Li Keyong, I want to watch the imperial martial arts competition, how about it?"
"No, that's too dangerous. If you get pregnant again, the Heavenly Master will definitely punish me."
"Then, why don't we go to the 'Purple Bamboo Forest'?" Murong Yan said helplessly, stroking her belly that was getting bigger day by day: "I heard that there will be assassins in the palace recently. I'm afraid of being implicated, so I want to go to that Buddha." Take shelter in the tower."
Li Keyong said suspiciously: "That is Mr. Mei's territory, and Taiping Taoists are never allowed to set foot there."
"You are standing guard at the gate of the mountain, are you afraid that I will grow wings and fly?" Murong Yan sighed and said sadly: "I just want to find a clean place to settle down and 'raise my baby'."
After listening to this, Li Keyong thought hard and did not make an immediate decision. After he retreated, he paced back and forth outside the house for a long time. He heard Murong Yan yelling and getting upset while walking. Suddenly he broke into the house and told Murong Yan: "Okay, miko, please set off now." !”
I still remember the last time I came to Zizhu Forest to have a tryst with Bai Feng. The memory is still very clear.
His hot palms, broad chest, and gentle voice were all soothing Murong Yan's increasingly lonely body and mind. The longer she stayed in the Taoist temple, the more Murong Yan felt there was no hope of going out again.
"I really hope he comes to pick me up." Murong Yan thought in her heart: "But with my body, where can I run?"
On the surface, she bowed to the Buddha and chanted the Buddha's name, but in her heart she was filled with worries.
It's night, the pagoda is quiet, and the fog rises again.
Li Keyong, who was still guarding the mountain gate at night, should have almost handed over the work, and the people who came to replace him to continue guarding the mountain had also arrived. However, at this moment, the assassin appeared.
The old monk who was taking care of the pagoda screamed and ran down the mountain for help: "The assassin is coming! The assassin is coming! Quick, go save people!"
Li Keyong made a prompt decision and immediately sent all his troops to besiege the top of the mountain.
