Chapter 248 The Simplest Episode 1
The atmosphere is solemn.
Everyone's mind was filled with thoughts and they were extremely shocked.
What did the eldest prince mean when he said he was about to appoint a crown prince? Wasn't the medicine-hunting conference meant to raise the stakes for the future crown prince?
But why did everyone else know about it, but our own people kept it secret so tightly?
The head of the Kamikaze Sword Hall even sent a gift.
Except for the queen, everyone's expression was very interesting, especially the imperial concubine, who was shocked, angry, and anxious.
Didn’t we just bully the Empress together because she was isolated and helpless?
How come the next second, the Empress Dowager's support came?
No, the eldest prince is not just a bargaining chip for the ninth princess. His value in the eyes of the emperor may be enough to influence the succession situation with just one word.
Beads of sweat oozed from the imperial concubine's back.
Everyone secretly looked at the emperor's face, but saw that he was normal.
What the eldest prince said just now offended the emperor in public.
The emperor was extremely pleased to see the eldest prince return just in time for the crown prince's appointment. This was not a hint at all, as if as long as the eldest prince agreed, he would immediately hand over the crown prince seal to the eldest prince.
But what did the eldest prince say? He called himself by his Dharma name and said that he came to deliver gifts on behalf of the sect.
Is it infuriating?
The emperor looked at Shen Yuezi carefully, seeing how well his son had grown, observing the sharpness emanating from him, and the tact with which he deliberately dealt with him, without a trace of anger in his eyes.
But he still said, "I appreciate the kindness of the Yufengdao Sect Leader. Now that the gift has been delivered, Taoist Priest, please return and report."
Everyone held their breath again.
If he wasn't his biological son, who would dare to show such disrespect to the leader of the Kamikaze Sword Hall?
This is the Kamikaze Sword Hall, not a vassal state!
A supreme god has already given you enough face by giving you such a precious gift, but you don’t even offer him a meal.
Shen Yuezi raised his eyes extremely slowly and met the emperor's eyes with an inhuman calmness.
Everyone was so scared that they didn't even bother to see what was happening in the small world.
Only the queen looked calm.
They don't understand this father and son.
The Queen sometimes felt that she didn't quite understand, but a break in family ties was impossible.
Finally, it was Shen Yuezi who couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth. Her eyes, which were originally as dark as the night, brightened up a lot:
"Yue Feng has been away from home for a long time and misses his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, very much. This time, I have specially asked for leave from Master. I miss my parents so much that I have traveled through mountains and rivers, regardless of wind and rain, and I can't wait to return."
After hearing this, the Queen quickly asked with concern, "But did you encounter any danger on the way? Why didn't you tell us in advance and ask Zhaolan Temple to open the teleportation array?"
There is a whole continent between Fenghuangzhou and Yunhuanzhou, so Shen Yuezi must have encountered a lot of trouble along the way.
"It's okay," Shen Yuezi didn't deny the hardships on her way back, and shook her robes. "Every time I get serious, I find that those guys who block my way are not very smart. It's just that the corners of their clothes are slightly dirty."
The emperor looked at his son's eyebrows and eyes, which were very similar to his own, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly. It seemed like he was showing off, but in fact he was complaining, saying that he encountered bad people on the way, and he also portrayed himself as missing his family and only reporting good news and not bad news.
There was a faint scrutiny in his eyes. He gave birth to a tiger cub, who was wild at heart and went out to explore the world, only to come back and pretend to play tricks on him.
First make yourself angry, then immediately appease yourself.
He made his position clear without breaking off relations with his father.
The smile in his eyes could not be suppressed after all, but it only flashed for a moment. The emperor snorted: "You boy, you are arrogant and presumptuous."
Shen Yuezi stood up, and even though the emperor ignored him, he took the initiative to stand beside the emperor, taking the position originally occupied by the monk.
The queen gave him a reproachful look.
Kamikoshi gave her mother a reassuring look in return.
The emperor refused to give him any attention, but let him act unbridled without saying anything.
Looking at this scene, everyone felt as if they had experienced a storm, and each had their own thoughts.
Only Shen Yuezi naturally paid attention to everything that happened in the Lotus Secret Realm.
After a while, Lingchan arrived.
After paying his respects, he explained his purpose: "Your Majesty, Master asked me to ask about the etiquette for receiving foreign guests this time..."
"Follow the ancestral system."
"Yes."
Lingchan was about to leave, but was kept by the emperor.
"Little Imperial Master, you and the eldest prince are old friends. It's been a while since we last met. You might as well stay and catch up with him."
He didn't know what the emperor intended, but Lingchan obeyed his orders.
He walked over to the emperor, and another monk made room for him.
The young imperial teacher and the eldest prince guarded the emperor like bodyguards on both sides. The three handsome men with different temperaments were particularly pleasing to the eyes. The emperor was also a rare handsome man when he was young, but now he has grown a beard, which covers part of his appearance and adds a different kind of charm.
What makes people think more is that the eldest prince and the young imperial teacher are arranged to stand together, just like the relationship between the Wuyang royal family and Zhaolan Temple, with intertwined roots and growing together into a towering tree.
Kamikoshi was so engrossed in watching the scene that he didn't even realize it.
[Yue Feng,] Ling Chan transmitted, [I remember someone saying that establishing a crown prince is a major matter. He is devoted to the Dao and has no intention of getting involved. What does he mean now?]
[That's not what you said when you sent me a message urging me to come back.] Kamikoshi threw back the question, still looking at one of the small pictures.
[You clearly rejected me then, and now you suddenly come back. Don't think I don't know.]
Ling Chan continued, "Your Majesty asked me to stand with you to show everyone that he's trying to force you to do something."
"Ahem, empty slander. I am a member of the Ninth Princess's faction. I am loyal and have no intention of rebelling."
Hearing Yue Feng joking with her, Ling Chan pinched the Buddhist beads in anger.
"Father will be satisfied with Aling. It's just a matter of time. You have to trust her." He finally said something sensible.
[Reinvigorate yourself. Your sudden return and your resolute refusal to participate in the succession dispute will easily lead His Majesty to guess your intentions. If he hasn't given up on having you succeed him...]
Kamikoshi paused as she looked at the screen and narrowed her eyes.
The emperor continued to look at the scenes without even glancing behind him.
......
In a small world.
The magic mushroom grows in the middle.
The fairy mountain is at the center of the entire small world.
This is also the place with the strongest atmosphere of illusion in the entire Lotus Secret Realm.
The strange velvet fantasy mushroom will generate an extremely terrifying illusion. Most monks will die directly in the illusion, which is extremely dangerous.
There were no cracks, so Chu Yu and Yue Ling flew out of the fairy mountain directly. After they left, they found that the monsters in the middle were more bloodthirsty and violent than those in other places. They surrounded the fairy mountain and howled angrily.
Some variants and rarer species are also more abundant than elsewhere.
The fairy mountain is not big, but it is the only safe place.
Far away from the fairy mountain, I felt that there was a place with a strong atmosphere of illusion, and the corpses of monsters were everywhere.
Chu Yu created a barrier, left Yue Ling outside, and entered the illusion alone.
After a moment, she took back the magic mushroom.
She didn't encounter any difficulties. She went to other people's homes as if she was visiting neighbors, and came back with food and gifts.
Even though it was nothing new to Chu Yu, he would still be called a pervert.
Collect six kinds of medicine in two days.
There is only one left.
When we returned to the fairy mountain, the sun had already set.
Birds return to their nests and poultry go to sleep, and it is very quiet.
Chu Yu and Yue Ling closed all the entrances to the fairy mountain. When they returned to Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang's home, they looked at each other in silence.
The journey was so smooth.
"There is still one Azure Dragon Crystal Marrow left. Such treasures don't have a specific location for generation. Where can I find it?" Yue Ling asked worriedly.
Chu Yu found it very strange. If they found the six herbs just by relying on the fairy mountain, then what was the meaning of other places?
For example, evil land.
Its existence is just to help Xianshan make up an excuse to ask people to close the crack?
Why do I feel like I only play the main storyline while completely ignoring other side quests?
"Hey, let's rest for a while first. After that, we can find a way to find the Azure Dragon Crystal."
Yue Ling stretched and walked into the house.
"I wonder where Uncle Kang and Aunt Kang live," she looked around the house and found it spotlessly clean, with no sign that anyone had ever lived there.
"Didn't they both come back?"
Yue Ling was a little surprised.
Chu Yu felt that the villagers might know something. He remembered that the village chief said that the villagers used to leave the fairy mountain to look for medicine.
Chu Yu asked Yue Ling to look after the little wolf and let it rest while he went to visit the villagers.
She went out alone.
As soon as it gets dark, every household turns off the lights.
Although the fairy mountain is not big, the environment is quite complex. The terrain is undulating and the houses are scattered around. A winding path goes around the hills and leads to the other side of the village.
After walking for a while, Chu Yu came across a house with the lights on. He walked up and knocked gently on the door.
With a creak, the door was not locked and opened by itself.
A woman was sitting by the bed, humming a nursery rhyme softly to soothe her child to sleep.
It turned out to be the mother of the child who was abducted yesterday. Chu Yu helped her find her child.
Hearing the noise, the mother turned around, and when she saw Chu Yu, her eyes lit up:
"Fairy," she said softly so as not to wake the child, "You are Madam Chunling's fairy messenger. Can you help me find my child?"
Chu Yu was stunned.
Before I could explain my purpose, the other party spoke first.
And it’s such a requirement.
Chu Yu glanced at the child lying on the bed, breathing evenly.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. My last name is Chu. What's yours?"
"Fairy, just call me Lady Lin."
"My child is about this tall." Madam Lin stretched out her hand and compared slightly. Judging from the height, the child was slightly older than the child on the bed.
"No," she frowned as a sudden thought occurred to her, "He should be this tall now."
She raised her hand, and it was almost the height of an adult man.
Madam Lin's eyes were out of focus and she was a little agitated, but she didn't have any other extreme reactions.
"What does your child look like?" Chu Yu asked.
She seemed to be brought back to reality by Chu Yu's voice and looked at the child behind her again.
"He looks a lot like him."
"My child looks a lot like him."
"So your oldest son is missing, right?"
The mother gently stroked the child's face on the bed, and was slightly lost in thought.
"What about your husband? Where did he go?"
"He got lost with my son." The mother lowered her eyes.
Afraid that continuing to ask would hurt her sore spot, Chu Yu said no more.
If people from the fairy mountain get lost, there is an 80% chance that they will go to the evil land.
Madam Lin stared at her child's face in a trance and said no more.
Chu Yu retreated quietly and helped her close the door.
This is a very pitiful mother. The blow of losing her eldest son and husband has made her what she is today.
When talking to her, Chu Yu almost ignored the fact that this small world had a reincarnation cycle every seven days, and in another five days, they would start a new reincarnation life.
Madam Lin is like a person who has truly experienced a lot and lives a strong life.
living people.
Not like an illusion.
Everyone in Xianshan has memories of half their life and their own stories.
I remembered what the village chief once said, that the evil land and the fairy mountain were originally one, but they were separated by an epidemic.
Afterwards, the people in the evil land were dissatisfied with the fairy mountain for trapping them in the cave. Due to the lack of medicine and the lack of treatment for a long time, they became hateful and killed a group of villagers who went out to look for medicine.
He also dug open the entrance of the fairy mountain connecting to the outside world, intending to let in the dangerous monsters outside.
Could it be that among those villagers who were killed, there was Mrs. Lin’s husband?
If a child is naughty and slips into a space crack and leaves the fairy mountain, it is hard to say.
Chu Yu suddenly recalled the young man and woman who stole the child yesterday. At that time, she had just arrived at the human gathering place in the small world and didn't know much about the fairy mountain. She just thought it was not strange to see human traffickers in these places.
Now I think there are problems everywhere.
There are monsters everywhere outside. Why would two mortals steal the child? If they were to sell the child, there should be no buyer, right?
Another place where people still exist is the land of sin.
Chu Yu was having a headache thinking about it. What on earth did these things have to do with finding medicine?
"No, we must go to this evil place tomorrow."
