I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 334 Resurrection, Li Xinyue

The end of the year is approaching and the festive atmosphere is getting stronger.

After experiencing a mutiny and a bloodbath in the court, Tianqi City gradually became lively and prosperous.

Many vendors pushing wheelbarrows appeared in the streets where civilians gathered. Various small gadgets were displayed on the wheelbarrows, including women's head flowers and children's toys. At this time, the toys in most places were made of wood, such as wooden windmills, small lanterns, etc., and the most popular among them was the small wax drum.

The drum surface is made of paper and coated with a thick layer of wax, so it is not easy to be damaged. It costs more than ten cents each, which is not cheap. Ordinary farmers can only get a small wax drum if they have few children or one of their children is particularly favored.

After buying it, the family will use hand-rolled hemp ropes to pass through the noses on both sides of the small drum and fix it around the child's waist. The children will bang the wax drum with their hands and chase and play together, which is very lively.

Of course, rich people would look down on such gadgets, at least the rich people in Apocalypse City would look down on them. They have never even seen them because they would never go to the slums in Apocalypse City.

But the Chu family is different. They have been taken by Chu Zhao to visit the people since they were young, and their habit has not changed. Even now in Tianqi City, the Chu brothers still visit the places where the poor gather.

So, on New Year's Eve, Chu Zhao entered the palace listening to the sound of drums.

The two older grandsons couldn't let go of the La drum, and even the few younger ones who could move struggled to beat it a few times to get their satisfaction.

The journey was smooth and we arrived at Ciyue Palace, which was the Queen's bedroom.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw Xiao Yu walking out. He first greeted Chu Zhao and then walked towards Ye Anshi.

"Today is New Year's Day, do you want to go see mother?"

Xiao Ruojin had told Xiao Se before that only the Xiao family and the Chu family would get together today, so he did not invite his concubine.

Ye Anshi, who was holding his son, was stunned at first, then shook his head and said nothing.

Chu Nanyue looked at him and opened her mouth. Before she could say anything to persuade him, she heard Ye Anshi smile gently and said, "I really don't want to see her."

"Okay, then I won't meet you." Chu Nanyue said with a smile.

Xiao Yu didn't care and nodded, "Okay, if you don't want to see me then don't. I'll go have a meal and then come over to have a drink with you."

As a son, Xiao Yu would have a reunion dinner with his mother every year.

Even though his relationship with his mother was not actually deep, it had not changed.

"it is good."

Ye Anshi nodded and smiled, then followed Chu Zhao's family into the hall.

Then, a man and a woman came forward hand in hand and saluted.

"I've met my grandpa and grandma."

"Qing'er meets my uncle and two aunts."

The former is Baili Jingyue, the younger brother of Baili Dongjun.

The latter is Xiao Ruojin's daughter and Baili Jingyue's wife Xiao Qing'er.

As for the different ways of addressing husband and wife, that's up to each person.

Baili Jingyue was speaking from Wen Lin's side, while Xiao Qing'er was speaking from the Xiao family's side. Although she was not Chu Yun's biological daughter, there was nothing wrong with her calling Chu Zhao uncle, after all, the queen was her stepmother.

Chu Zhao nodded, smiled, took out two red envelopes from his arms and handed them to the couple: "Happy New Year, why did you two go back to Tianqi?"

"Thank you, little grandpa." Baili Jingyue took the red envelope and explained, "My father-in-law is not in good health, so we came back to see him."

"Uncle, my father..." Xiao Qing'er was a little sad. She already knew about Xiao Ruojin's situation. If nothing unexpected happened, this year would be her father's last New Year.

Chu Zhao shook his head, but before he could finish his words, Xiao Ruojin's voice rang out.

"Qing'er, everyone will die. I am already very satisfied now."

Hua Jin, who was following behind Xiao Ruojin, said, "It's already good to be able to live for a year like an ordinary person. Even if my master helps, it's impossible for me to live that long. Well, no more than half a month at most."

If she took action, Xiao Ruojin could live for three days like a normal person. Her master was a little stronger than her, but it would definitely not exceed half a month, so when she said this, there was a bit of admiration for Chu Zhao in her eyes.

Xiao Qing'er sighed silently and was about to say something, but she heard Xiao Ruojin smiled and said, "I heard from Ruochen and Qing'er that your family did everything by themselves during the New Year. Let's do it ourselves today and help."

Chu Zhao was stunned and said speechlessly: "So you invited us to a reunion party, but you still want us to do it ourselves?"

Xiao Ruojin didn't care about his attitude and laughed, "Hurry up, Chong'er and Chuhe are trash, we are all waiting for you and your son to go into battle."

Just like that, Chu Zhao and his son, and son-in-law Ye Anshi were pulled by Xiao Ruojin to help.

As for the women, they naturally followed the customs of the Chu family, some chatting together and some playing cards.

From time to time, they could hear roars coming from the direction of the kitchen.

Chu Zhao yelled at Xiao Ruojin, and Xiao Ruojin called Xiao Se and Xiao Chong useless, saying they couldn't even cook.

Busy and noisy.

It was not until the beginning of the afternoon when Xiao Yu came back from having dinner with Yi Wenjun that the food was served.

Seeing that Xiao Yu came back alone, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ye Anshi's eyes, but he hid it well, and no one else noticed it except Chu Zhao.

"You're back. Come and sit down." Xiao Ruojin greeted.

The people present today, apart from Chu Zhao's family, young and old, and Hua Jin, are the Xiao family members, including Xiao Ruojin, Xiao Chong, Xiao Se, Xiao Yu, Xiao Ruochen, Xiao Lingchen, Xiao Qing'er, and Xiao family's son-in-law Baili Jingyue. Everyone gathered together, making it a big family banquet.

Xiao Ruojin took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for his brother-in-law Chu Zhao and started the conversation with the words "Thank you for your hard work today".

Today is New Year's Day and no one mentioned those unhappy things.

The Xiao family members talked about what they knew about the jokes that happened between the brothers over the years, while the Chu family revealed the embarrassing things that happened between the brothers and sisters, causing those who were revealed to feel very embarrassed. The others laughed and the atmosphere was very cheerful.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Xiao Lingchen suddenly said something.

"For the first time in so many years, this palace has made me feel like home. I think my father will be very happy to see what we are doing today."

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally cheerful atmosphere suddenly stagnated and became a little depressing.

Xiao Se said with emotion: "Yes, I feel the same way, Father, we can actually do this in the future."

"I didn't do it well enough." Xiao Ruojin sighed, then smiled and said, "Sixth Brother, your suggestion is good. In the future, when our Xiao family celebrates the New Year and other festivals, we can get together like today and do it ourselves."

"But my father..."

Xiao Qing'er didn't continue her words, but her father already had no next year.

Everyone knew what she meant, and the atmosphere became more depressing.

At least the Xiao Se brothers felt a little sad.

On the contrary, Xiao Ruojin felt so warm in her heart, and looked at Xiao Lingchen with a proud look, as if to say, see, I have never been alone.

"Okay, it's New Year's Day, let's not talk about this, let's drink."

Xiao Ruojin rubbed his little daughter's head and invited everyone to eat and drink. The originally depressing atmosphere gradually became cheerful again.

The meal lasted until midnight. In the new year, Chu Zhao and Xiao Ruojin, as the heads of the two families, distributed New Year red envelopes to the younger generations before finally dispersing.

After that, he stayed in the palace for another day.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Chu Zhao and his family left the palace and followed Ye Ruoyi to visit her parents' home at the General's Mansion.

I was drinking with Ye Xiaoying when Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen, as well as Lei Wujie and Xu Lingxuan came in hurriedly.

Li Hanyi, who has always been aloof, was very excited today.

"Uncle Chu, is my mother still alive?"

"what?"

Ye Xiaoying was shocked and stood up immediately.

Chu Zhao glanced at him, then looked at Li Hanyi, nodded, then shook his head. He did not speak in a hurry, as if he was organizing his words.

Lei Wujie and Li Hanyi looked at him eagerly, with anxious faces, but did not open their mouths to disturb him.

After a long while, Chu Zhao drank the wine in one gulp and then said, "Your mother is dead, but not completely dead. I placed her soul in the Heart Sword."

"Can I still see my mother?"

Chu Zhao nodded: "I can meet you, but..."

"But what?" Lei Wujie interrupted anxiously.

"Don't be anxious. Listen to Uncle Chu." Xu Lingxuan soothed softly.

"Lei Wujie, you are so lucky. Miss Xu is my favorite daughter-in-law. It's a pity that she didn't like my son, so you got a great chance."

Chu Zhao smiled and joked, then continued the previous topic.

"Now your mother's soul is in the heart sword. As long as the heart sword is not destroyed, she will not die. But once I lead her soul out of the heart sword, she will dissipate." After these words came out, Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie hesitated.

Looking at the brother and sister, Chu Zhao laughed: "But now things have taken a turn for the better."

"What's the turning point?" Li Hanyi asked.

"The best restaurant in the world?" Zhao Yuzhen said uncertainly.

Chu Zhao hummed: "Yes, the No. 1 Building in the World, when we complete the Heavenly Dao, I can use the No. 1 Building in the World to send Xiao Yu to the Immortal Realm, and naturally I can also send your mother's soul to the Immortal Realm.

Under normal circumstances, with her strength and talent, it would not be a problem for her to live in the fairyland for hundreds of years, but now that she has entered the fairyland, you will not be able to see her again, unless you also ascend to the fairyland."

"Let's go." Li Hanyi said without hesitation.

If nothing unexpected happened, Li Hanyi would definitely want to stay in the human world, but now with the accident of Li Xinyue, she naturally prefers to ascend to the upper realm.

Lei Wujie, on the other hand, remained silent. He turned his head to look at Xu Lingxuan beside him and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, before he could speak, Chu Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't rush to decide. In addition to going to heaven, there is another choice."

Without letting Li Hanyi and Lei Wujie ask any questions, Chu Zhao mentioned another option.

"Xiao Yu still has four Heavenly Dao Pills in his hand. After taking the Heavenly Dao Pills, your mother will be able to exist in the world in the form of a spirit. Of course, she needs to return to the Heart Sword to recuperate regularly. The Heart Sword is equivalent to her nutrition cabin."

"What does the nutrition cabin mean?" Zhao Yuzhen asked puzzledly.

"This is a bit difficult to explain. Let me put it this way. The Heart Sword is equivalent to her host body. You and Han Yi are both in the Mysterious Realm of Spiritual Wandering. You should know that the soul cannot be separated from the body for a long time, so she also needs the Heart Sword to recuperate."

Zhao Yuzhen nodded and motioned Chu Zhao to continue.

"One Heavenly Dao Pill can allow her to live for ten years. There are five Heavenly Dao Pills in the world now. Xiao Yu has four and Luo Qingyang has one. This means that Li Xinyue can live for fifty years with her soul." Chu Zhao looked at Li Hanyi and said with a smile, "As for how to choose, you should ask your mother, the person involved. I think she will choose the latter. Do you want to make a bet?"

Li Hanyi also smiled: "No bet, because I also think that my mother will choose the latter."

Lei Wujie didn't hesitate anymore. He stood up and said, "I'm going to ask Xiao Yu for the Tiandao Pill." Then he ran out in a hurry.

"Wait, let's go together."

Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen left the general's mansion shortly after.

Chu Zhao looked at Xu Lingxuan who didn't move and teased, "Girl, why don't you follow?"

Xu Lingxuan blushed, shook her head and said nothing.

At this time, Ye Xiaoying had recovered from his shock and turned to look at Chu Zhao blankly: "Is she really still alive?"

"It's half alive."

"Half-life is good too." Ye Xiaoying smiled, then he became a little worried: "Will Xiao Yu give them the Heavenly Dao Pill you mentioned?"

"Even if I could, I can't give it to them for free."

In fact, it was just as Chu Zhao said.

The Red King's Palace.

After hearing Lei Wujie's reason for asking for the Tiandao Pill, Xiao Yu simply replied.

"Why?"

Lei Wujie was stunned, not quite understanding what Xiao Yu meant: "What do you mean by why?"

Xiao Yu was speechless: "I also admire the Azure Dragon Envoy, but the things she did have nothing to do with me. I have no relatives or friends with her, and I have no friendship with you. We even had some grudges before. Why should I give you the Heavenly Dao Pill?"

Now that he understood, Lei Wujie said anxiously, "Except for the Heart Sword, I can exchange everything I have with you."

"Do you know the value of the Heavenly Dao Pill? Uncle Chu extracted the Heavenly Demonic Power from the Heavenly Dao Pill. Now, I only need two Heavenly Dao Pills to enter the spiritual realm." Xiao Yu said slowly, and finally said with some contempt: "You are a poor guy. Is your entire wealth worth one Heavenly Dao Pill?"

Lei Wujie was silent.

Li Hanyi looked at Xiao Yu and said calmly, "If you have any conditions, just tell me."

"I heard that your sword, Snow Moon Sword Fairy, is a magic weapon given to you by Uncle Chu. I want your Frost Sword, plus two peerless martial arts, and I can give you two Heavenly Dao Pills."

Li Hanyi was silent.

It’s not that she was reluctant to give it up, but the Frost Sword was given to her by Chu Zhao, and she felt that she should ask Chu Zhao for his opinion.

Just as he was about to leave his body, Chu Zhao's voice was heard in the main hall of the palace.

Vague and distant.

“Since I gave you the Frost Sword, it belongs to you, and the same goes for the Heavenly Frost Sword Technique.

Just the Tianhan sword technique is enough for you to practice. Don't be greedy. You can't digest what you have bitten off more than you can chew.

With two Heavenly Dao Pills, plus the one in Luo Qingyang's hand, thirty years can be considered a natural end of life."

After he finished speaking, Lei Wujie smiled.

"Your Highness, you heard it."

"For Uncle Chu's sake, take it." Xiao Yu snorted coldly, took out two small porcelain bottles and threw them to Lei Wujie.

At the same time, Li Hanyi also gave the secret manuals of the Frost Sword and the Tianhan Sword Technique to Xiao Yu.

"Your Highness the Red King, when will Luo Qingyang come to Tianqi?"

He was polite to Xiao Yu because Xiao Yu had a special identity. Besides being the Prince of Beili, Chu Zhao also had other arrangements for him.

Luo Qingyang is different. If he dares not to give it to her, Li Hanyi will just snatch it away.

With Li Hanyi's current strength, even if Luo Qingyang entered a trance, he might not be her opponent, not to mention her husband Zhao Yuzhen.

Two against one, Luo Qingyang can be beaten like a dog.

"I don't know, but it should be soon. It's just these two days. You guys can do whatever you want. I'm going to practice martial arts." After saying that, Xiao Yu didn't care about Li Hanyi and the other two. He took the Frost Sword and the sword manual and left.

"Sister, what should we do now?"

Li Hanyi felt that this brother was really not worth having, and said unhappily, "Go to the general's mansion."

"No, I'm here."

A breeze blew by, and Chu Zhao appeared in the Red King's Palace.

"Uncle Chu."

Chu Zhao nodded and looked at the heart sword in Lei Wujie's hand, and the heart sword instantly began to vibrate.

"Come out, Li Xinyue!"

The voice is like a loud bell, and the words are followed by the law.

I saw a gas floating out from the heart sword and transformed into the appearance of Li Xinyue.

"Auntie!"

Lei Wujie shouted, and tears immediately flowed down his face.

However, Li Xinyue did not respond to him. She just stood there blankly, as if she didn't hear him.

Looking at her mother who looked dazed and had no shadow, Li Hanyi's eyes were filled with tears and she asked anxiously, "Uncle Chu, where is my mother?"

"Don't worry."

Chu Zhao smiled faintly, put his two fingers together with the sword, and raised it slightly. The stoppers of the two small porcelain bottles in Lei Wujie's hands flew up instantly, and two pills flew out.

Afterwards, the two pills began to spin at a high speed and gradually turned into a ball of rich and clear air.

Under Chu Zhao's guidance, it slowly entered Li Xinyue's body, and her dull expression gradually became lively.

After a while, Li Xinyue finally recovered and bowed.

"Thank you, Uncle Chu!"

A woman obeys her husband after marriage and obeys her son after her husband's death, so her address changed from "Brother Chu" to "Uncle Chu".

Chu Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, you are now resurrected.

We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I think you must have a lot to talk about, so I won't bother you anymore.

Oh, by the way, you can go to the No. 1 Building in the World to practice for a while. The power of the Heavenly Dao there will be beneficial to you. Now let’s go.”

The breeze blew again, and Chu Zhao disappeared without a trace.
