Three years after the new emperor came to power, the imperial master was gone, the trend of seeking immortality was curbed a lot, and everything was peaceful.
It wasn't until the morning session yesterday that someone came to tell him that there were auspicious clouds hovering around the Imperial Ancestral Temple. He finally figured out that it was someone from the Immortal Sect who had brought his nephew home to have a look. It was not a royal session today. The emperor had just been sitting comfortably in his study reviewing papers. The big eunuch ran over again with a frightened expression.
The emperor inexplicably felt that this news was probably not good.
"The imperial mausoleum reports urgently, saying that there was a heavy thunderstorm last night, which caused the mountains above the imperial mausoleum to turn black and smoke."
Green smoke rises from the true ancestral tomb.
Yuan Qi rubbed his face worriedly, "Where is my nephew?"
"I went to Lieutenant Xie's house last night and didn't come back. I left the city early this morning. Apparently, I went to see the Emperor in the garden."
Yuan Qi became even more worried, "Isn't this a warning from God?"
The great eunuch hesitated to speak and carefully served the tea, "How about asking a master to take a look?"
Yuan Qi still pressed his hands on his face. Hearing this, he glanced at the eunuch who had been following him for a long time, "Do you think I am my elder brother? Do you believe in those messy evil things?"
"But... that guy's coming back, doesn't it mean that this mysterious thing is true?" The eunuch bowed his waist and whispered.
Yuan Qi's hand on the desk froze, then he slowly moved away and took a deep look at the eunuch, "What you said... does make sense."
Outside the city, in a carriage, Yuan Ye continued to spread himself out like a rat cake. Lin Du and Wei Zhi scanned the entire capital to confirm that there were no handwritings of any spiritual monks. At this moment, their consciousness was exhausted and dizzy. While sleeping, Ni Jinxuan was the only one who kept her eyes open and looked at the scenery on the roadside.
The carriage was rarely quiet for a while, but only for a moment.
When Ni Jinxuan saw things in the world of mortals, everything was strange. Even the donkey cart that pulled goods felt novel to her. After a while, she finally couldn't sit still anymore and tugged on the sleeve of a puddle of rat cake, "Hey, that puller What kind of beast is driving this car?”
"Mule." Yuan Ye turned his head and added, "It's not delicious."
The drowsy Lin Du heard this sentence: ... fatal.
Ni Jinxuan said oh and asked again, "Have you ever sat down?"
Yuan Ye replied, "No, I am the prince."
Ni Jinxuan was confused, "You said that members of the royal family have a very good status in the secular world and have almost nothing they can't get, yet they have never ridden in a mule cart?"
Yuan Ye:......
He thought for a while, "It's not a precious thing if a mule cart is unstable."
"What's wrong with a mule carriage? You have to lift the curtains to see the scenery. It's so stuffy inside! The aroma makes people dizzy," Ni Jinxuan whispered, "I think a mule carriage is very good."
Yuan Ye sighed, "Yes, the mule carriage is so nice and comfortable. We can ride on the mules on the way back."
He was not in a good mood, and he was too lazy to pretend at the moment. When he got there, he got out of the carriage, looked at the many guards in the garden, and couldn't help but sneered.
The position of power has been reversed. The person who once suppressed all the ministers and could not hold their heads up has become old and is stared at by countless pairs of eyes in this garden where they "retire their old age". The person who used to be cautious and enthusiastic about farming and talk about farming knowledge has also become The saint who suppressed others until they could not breathe.
Yuan Ye walked step by step towards Nuange where the Supreme Emperor was, but unexpectedly saw a trembling old man from a distance on the road who was asking for help. He stopped short.
The man's hair was gray, he was not wearing a hat, his back was stooped, and he already looked old.
Yuan Ye stood there and suddenly felt that today's sun was a bit dazzling.
The old emperor hadn't noticed yet, but the eunuch beside him saw a dignified figure with dragon and phoenix looks from a distance, followed by several people, all of whom looked refined.
The young eunuch watched for a while and suddenly shouted, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Xuan is back!"
When Yuan Ye heard this voice, his eyes moved to the little eunuch.
He looked familiar, but he didn't follow the old emperor in the past. Instead, he came from the palace of Prince Cheng.
The people who used to serve the old emperor are all gone.
He raised his feet and walked towards his biological father, "Father."
The old emperor looked at Yuan Ye for a while and said, "Xiao Wu, why are you back?"
Yuan Ye looked at the old emperor steadily and said, "Master asked me to come back to break the ties with the world. The master's six roots are impure and he is in league with evil spirits. The master's disciples are here to arrest him and eliminate the evil spirits."
The old emperor's already dejected face became even more dejected, "Xiao Wu, what are you..."
"You are a mortal, so you probably don't understand. What I mean is that the imperial master used evil methods, which are against the laws of heaven." Yuan Ye glanced at the eunuch, "But now that everything has been dealt with, you can rest assured."
The old emperor trembled, his face was gloomy, and he immediately said, "You bastard, you went out for a trip, and you didn't greet your father with courtesy? Do you still have dignity in your eyes?"
"If the king is not the king, then the ministers will not be the ministers; if the father is not the father, then the son will not be the son." Yuan Ye smiled, "This is one of the few things that my son remembered when he was in school."
"Nowadays, there are differences between immortals and mortals. The rules of Taoism are that all living beings are equal. My nephew does not need to kneel. What's more, his origin was damaged because of you. I don't know how long it will take to recover."
Lin Du suddenly walked up from behind, "Is it possible that you had no idea that the Imperial Master and his like were entering your ancestral graves to perform magic?"
The old emperor was even more confused by the person who interrupted rashly. He was about to curse angrily when he met a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss. The woman was dressed as a Taoist priest and looked down at the rickety man. There was no trace of any trace of emotion on her face. He was sulky and only had a sarcastic smile, but it made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave for a moment.
"I know it! This is all for the destiny of the country! What is the way of heaven? Heaven and man are one, the emperor is heaven!"
"You are the prince, and the prince is born to dedicate himself to the country. You are supported by all the people, so you should sacrifice your life! Not only me, but your second uncle! The entire court will not think that the imperial master's move is wrong. !”
Lin Du sneered, "Yes, for the sake of national destiny, sacrificing a prince and sacrificing some flesh and blood of the people of Liming is not a big deal."
Yuan Ye endured it and sneered, "What you can't let go of. What you want me to risk my life to save are the people of Liming and your throne!"
"Do you understand? This is the essence of the feudal dynasty in the secular world. Exploiting resources and concentrating them into one center will lead to corruption." She whispered to her two nephews, "Don't be trapped in decay and obsolescence. Very few things stay the same, everything moves forward.”
"I know you won't be able to get out for a while, but the rules of this world will always make things right."
The emperor looked at Yuan Ye in front of him, and finally suppressed the tyranny in his heart, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, you come to see my father. My father is very happy. Come and have tea with me. I will ask someone to do it for you. You are the best." Do you like the mutton liver bilo?"
Ni Jinxuan's eyes widened for a moment, and Yuan Ye pursed his lips. The junior uncle had already asked for the answer. The vain hopes in his heart were completely gone. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to see you for the last time. I won't eat ordinary food anymore." I won’t be having tea for a long time, please take care.”
Yuan Ye turned around and left. The old emperor shouted from behind, "Don't you want to see your mother and concubine?"
The young man still didn't look back, and quickly walked a long distance with long strides.
Ni Jinxuan had to jog all the way to keep up, "Yuan Ye, don't you like eating lamb liver? I remember we went to eat in a pot. You said that mutton is only delicious in a pot?"
"Yeah." Yuan Ye walked away quickly, "He never remembers what I like to eat. I love singing, but I don't like reading, so I am the least favored. He called me back just to talk about my second uncle in private. If you say bad things, just let me take back the legitimate throne."
"Then...is the mutton liver bilo he mentioned delicious?" Ni Jinxuan asked cautiously, "He can use this to keep you, it should be delicious, right?"
Yuan Ye slowed down after hearing this, with a depressed look on his face, but the corners of his mouth curled up, "It tastes bad. Only old people like that kind of food. I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Lin Du thought of the conversation in the car, "How about eating donkey meat and burning it?"
"Going in a mule cart to eat donkey meat on fire?" Yuan Ye followed Lin Du's thoughts.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Something feels right.
Wei Zhi was silent all the way until Yuan Ye really just picked up a pen and asked someone to write a letter and bring it to the emperor. He actually abandoned the carriage and took a few people to buy mules, and then he showed a slightly strange expression.
Is there something wrong with the painting style of the Supreme Sect?
It wasn't until we got on the mule cart that Fozi, who had always been the backdrop, finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"Aren't you angry that you are treated as a pawn by the royal family who is destined to be sacrificed?"
"Angry." Yuan Ye clumsily held the mule cart, and the three of them, like gods, sat on the wooden cart, out of place but at ease.
"But I have dedicated my spiritual power for many years, and I have paid back what the royal family gave me. Now the dragon energy in my body is gone. From now on, I will only be Yuan Ye of the Supreme Sect, not Yuan Ye of the Great Zhou royal family. .”
"Those burdens and responsibilities bother me the most. The best way is to let them go! I will cultivate my free way."
The many shackles that trap people in this world may not be real shackles.
Lin Du concluded his speech, "As long as you have no morals, you will not be kidnapped."
Wei Zhi: ...the new generation of the Supreme Sect has really been raised crookedly, or has it been raised crookedly by itself.
