The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 125 A Dream in the World of Mortals

After a long time,
"So that's how it is. I was still thinking about how to convince you." Wei Yangxian suddenly realized.

"In the law of cause and effect, there is a cause first and then an effect, but sometimes, the effect comes before the cause."

"I see the shadow of the goddess in the dragon girl's face. Or rather, the goddess inherited a lot from her. The mother and daughter are very similar."

The God of Robbery Seal was somewhat solemn and serious. When he saw the Dragon Girl for the first time, he immediately recognized the weapon.

"So what about now? Should we take action immediately? Little Xiying has already entered the secular world."

Weiyangxian smiled and looked into the distance.

With the help of Wanlongling, the dragon girl lost her memories, gave up her cultivation, and turned into a mortal.

"No hurry, let's wait for the Burning Demonic Lotus to come back. It is the weapon that will fuse the master's life and death in this life, so it must be involved. And this matter mainly depends on the Dragon Girl. We can only slightly influence the master's subconscious mind and temporarily change the trajectory that he deliberately avoids."

"Luckily it was the Burning Emperor. If it was the Eternal Tribulation Heavenly Lord, we wouldn't have had a chance at all."

As the words of the God of Seal of Disaster fell, the entire Sky Burial Island suddenly rumbled.

……

Big Dipper, Zhongzhou.

In late spring, Cangyun City was shrouded in continuous drizzle. Dense rain curtains hung from the eaves of the city towers, turning the figures of the soldiers defending the city into ink.

Xiying raised her hand to adjust her veil, her cold and heroic outline revealed under the white veil. In the eyes of the surrounding soldiers, this distinguished daughter of the city lord was staring at the city in a daze.

"Look, young lady! Those soldiers don't even have straw raincoats."

The maid pointed at the soldiers standing in the rain at the foot of the city wall, as if she had discovered something interesting.

Looking along, Xiying's eyes were fixed on the figure on the easternmost side - a young man in black armor stood with his sword pressed, rainwater flowed down his iron helmet into a stream, but his back was straight, like a poplar that would never fall down.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rain.

Several drunken soldiers pushed the old man selling charcoal, causing the charcoal basket to fall over and black charcoal fragments to roll all over the ground.

The young man in black armor had a serious look in his eyes, and then he strode forward. The raindrops hit his chain mail, creating a cold silver light.

He grabbed the troublemaker by the back of his collar with one hand, and his deep voice instantly pierced through the rain.

"Article 13 of the Military Code: Anyone who oppresses the people shall be punished with 20 strokes of the cane."

Soon, the sound of batons and soldiers' curses echoed in the rain.

Xiying saw the mud splattered on his side face, but for some reason it made her more nervous than those talented people at the banquet.

Her fingertips unconsciously stroked the golden hairpin in her sleeve, which was the coming-of-age gift given to her by her mother. The ruby held by the Vermilion Bird on the head of the hairpin looked like a dancing flame.

"Go check the name of that Wuwei."

"Miss, what's wrong? Is there anything special about that person?"

The maid was puzzled, but when she looked up, she saw a pair of unquestionable eyes that made her feel scared.

On the way back home, the sound of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs overlapped with my heartbeat.

Xiying looked at the red mark on her palm caused by the hairpin and suddenly lifted the carriage curtain. "Wait, let's go to the blacksmith shop in the West Market first."

Three days later, a carriage covered with green cloth drove out from the side door of the City Lord's Mansion.

When Chen Wu was blindfolded and brought into the warehouse, he smelled the unique iron smell of weapons.

The moment the cloth was removed, his pupils shrank slightly, and he saw ten brand new horn bows displayed before him, with arrowheads shining like stars.

"Wu Wei Chen Wu, are you willing to try your bow for Xiying?" A clear and melodious female voice came from behind the screen, which was indescribably precious.

Chen Wu looked up suddenly, and saw the skirt embroidered with gold thread brushing against the green bricks. The girl's slender white fingers were stroking the bowstring, and the agate bracelet on her wrist touched the weapon, making a clear sound like jade.

"What do you want, my lord?" The confused young guard knelt on one knee.

"Have we met before? It feels very familiar." Xiying gently pulled out a whistling arrow from the quiver.

Chen Wu thought for a moment and replied honestly, "I don't know. I probably have never seen it."

With a swish sound,
The arrow broke through the air, brushed past his ear and hit the doorpost, its tail feathers still trembling.

"Don't try to lie to me." Xiying's eyes were cold.

"I never lie. I really haven't seen it. Your Excellency must have made a mistake."

Chen Wu remained calm, then looked up and met her gaze without any fear.

"How dare you look directly at your lord?" the servant beside him shouted.

A few seconds later, Xiying suddenly laughed.

"Very good, you are mine now. I want you to make this arrow ring on the top of Cangyun City within one year."

……

In the long river of time and space, several figures were sneaking around. "Huh, after a difficult journey, we finally got through the Gate of Eternal Life and arrived at this point in time. It was not easy."

"Unless you are a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, you are not even qualified to meet it. Oh, oh, oh, this is so scary."

"So this is how the Burning Goddess came to be. I thought Daozu had been tempted by her before. The Eternal Tribulation Seal and the Burning Demonic Lotus are really clever."

"Shut up, all of you. If you want to watch, just watch quietly and don't talk nonsense. Do you really think the Gate of Eternal Life is so easy to fool? It must be turning a blind eye. Be careful that you will be locked up in a small dark room and suppressed for countless epochs."

The figures who were speaking were surrounded by an eternal and immortal glow. Their wisps of power made people tremble, and there was a kind of majesty that was superior to that of the Immortal King.

It is obvious that even if they are not quasi-immortal emperors, they have gone a long way on the road to breaking through the king and becoming emperor.

However, such an almighty being who could easily destroy the world was hiding in a corner of the long river of time and space, watching two mortals with great interest.

If this scene were to spread, I wonder how many people would be scared to death.

……

After the rain, the birch forest was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. Chen Wu untied the coarse cloth bundle and saw twenty ingots of gold glittering in the woods.

He turned to look at the girl under the tree and asked, "Are you not afraid of entrusting your trust to the wrong person?"

"I have been observing the stars with my uncle since I was young, and I have seen the strange phenomenon of Mars in the heart."

Xiying took off the jade pendant from her waist and placed it in his palm. The mutton-fat jade still had body temperature. "Last night, the star Cang moved westward, and the White Tiger Palace was shining on Cangyun City."

The girl's fingertips traced across his palm lines and stopped at the line of fate. "Besides, I believe in my eyes, and I believe in my heart even more."

When saying this, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other closely, and there was a heart-pounding feeling.

When the dusk turns the clouds red, the sky is dark and the air is clear, with a gentle evening breeze.

Chen Wu took off the necklace from his neck, on which hung an ordinary stone.

This was the only possession he had on him when he woke up from the battlefield. The surface of the stone was stained with years of blood and was exceptionally smooth after being polished.

"My blood is attached to this stone, and one day in the future, my soul will also be placed here."

He bent down to tie the necklace for her, his breath brushing against her hair, "It belongs to you now."

……

When the fifth watch gong sounded, the back door of the City Lord's Mansion quietly opened.

Xiying took off her embroidered skirt and mounted her horse in her deerskin boots, stepping on the morning dew.

Chen Wu stopped his horse at the end of the official road and looked back. He saw her in a plain dress with narrow sleeves, holding a horn bow, like a white swan falling from the clouds.

"Are you scared?" He reached out and brushed away the fallen petals on her shoulder.

Xiying pointed her whip at the pale sky, her arrow sleeves rustling in the wind.

"With you here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

"Chen Lang, do you remember the military strategy that says: 'Be as fast as the wind, be as slow as the forest'? Today we will practice the first move."

The horse's hooves startled the birds, the girl's clear laughter broke through the morning mist, and the high walls of Cangyun City gradually shrank into small black dots behind the two of them.

……

Chen Wu had a dream.

In the dream, he was an orphan who woke up from the battlefield, and then joined the army in a daze.

During the execution of military law, he was fortunately noticed by the noble daughter of the city lord and was taken in as a personal guard.

The nobleman seemed to fall in love with him at first sight and began a crazy pursuit.

Lu Yao knows horsepower and sees people's hearts over time.

This time, Chen Wu couldn't find any reason to refuse, and the subconscious in his heart was obscured.

So naturally, the two passionate young people came together.

One is a penniless soldier, and the other is the daughter of the powerful Lord of Cangyun City. The two of them broke through numerous obstacles and would rather break than bend.

The City Lord's Mansion had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept this son-in-law.

In the following days, the public's voices gradually changed from opposition to approval.

Although Chen Wu came from a poor family, he was a first-class hero. His various talents began to show. He was proficient in military tactics and had extremely high personal martial arts skills, making him an unparalleled national hero.

Under his leadership, Cangyun City annexed a large number of surrounding cities in just a few years and developed into a behemoth.

Finally, his followers rallied together and put the imperial robe on him.

Chen Wu had no choice but to ascend the supreme throne and founded an empire.

And the affectionate woman who had placed her trust in him without hesitation when he was penniless, naturally wore the phoenix crown and bridal robe.
