Chapter 98 Earrings Next
"Six years ago, I received a secret letter from the Northern Underworld Mansion, in which it said that Lin Yinxue, the daughter of Lin Yingxu, the head of the demon religion, will one day pass through Daya Mountain with the secret map of the Northern Underworld Treasure. There is only a five or six-year-old girl who will accompany her. Immediately, King An ordered to select 16 masters from the divine palace to intercept, and be sure to get the secret map.
"Aoshan, as the heir of the owner of the Youshi family, is also among them. Maybe Aoshan was afraid that I would be afraid, and because this was a special secret mission in the divine palace, he did not tell me that he was selected to participate in the interception.
"Sixteen masters... but in the end, there are 17 people going?" Chu Tian asked.
"The extra person is me." Eshanyue replied, "I can't help but be surprised to know that Aoshan is also on the list of 16 people. Although the 16 people selected can be called the elite of the divine palace, Lin Yinxue's cultivation at that time can only be described as shocking, and his action is fierce and alive. Even if the interception is successful, it is bound to pay a heavy price. I don't want anything to do with Aoshan, so..."
"So you took the initiative to apply to join the interception?"
"It's almost like this. Although I didn't have the slightest cultivation, I was good at medicine and was quite involved in Qimen Dunjia, so the divine palace quickly agreed to my request. I wanted to tell Aoshan the good news, but he had set out to set up ambush on Daya Mountain - the big mistake was made step by step!"
Eshanyue calmed down and said, "In order to hide people's eyes and keep secrets, 17 of us set out to cut off contact in batches, so I couldn't see Aoshan along the way, let alone know his exact whereabouts. Until I arrived at the agreed meeting place, that is, outside the Orion Village where you once lived, I still didn't see Aoshan.
Chu Tian didn't say anything, but he confirmed the words of Eshanyue with the words of You'ao Mountain, Lin Lianqing and Sun's mother.
"According to the information we received, Lin Yinxue will definitely pass through Orion Village after nightfall, and is likely to spend a night in the village. The arrow is on the string. An elder of the Yan family proposed to use the array to ambush to minimize casualties to complete the task.
Eshanyue said, "Naturally, the errands of the array fell on me. Thinking that Aoshan would also come, I agreed and set up nine prison thunderstorms in the village. When the array was arranged in the evening, I was ready to evacuate the villagers and wait for Lin Yinxue to fall. Unexpectedly, several masters of the divine palace resolutely opposed the evacuation of the villagers. First, to prevent people from informing, and second, Lin Yinxue was afraid that Lin Yinxue would notice an abnormal detour in the village.
Chu Tian's breath became heavy. This is the third time he has heard the same story, but it is still difficult to suppress the anger and grief in his chest.
Eshanyue took a look at Chu Tian and said quietly, "After dark, Aoshan still did not appear, but Lin Yinxue has appeared in our sight. It can't be thought much. The fifteen seniors of the Northern Underworld Mansion launched a surprise attack on her with nine prison thunderstorms, followed by a dark bloody battle.
Chu Tian sneered and said, "It's worthy of being an elite in the divine palace. You have guts!"
"Originally, I thought that with the help of fifteen masters of the Divine Mansion and the thunder and fire of nine prisons, it should be a sure thing to capture Lin Yinxue, but we still underestimated her cultivation. However, after a meal, four masters of the divine palace died under her, and three others were seriously injured.
Eshanyue did not refute Chu Tian's ridicule and continued: "When the situation was critical, Aoshan finally arrived and joined the regiment. Later, I realized that he was not late, but disgusted with the interception from the bottom of his heart, and could not openly disobey the order, so he decided to stand by and watch.
Chu Tianyi said, "You mean that Youao Mountain did not intend to participate in the interception at the beginning?"
"If he hadn't found that I was also participating in the interception operation, he wouldn't have taken action at all."
A layer of hazy fog floated in Eshanyue's eyes and replied, "Because of the addition of Aoshan, the war situation has gradually become beneficial to us. Lin Yinxue is finally outnumbered and falls into the sea of fire. Only Aoshan and I were the only two people involved in this operation in the Northern Pluto.
"What about Lin Xunqing?"
"She was seriously injured in the fierce battle and fainted. At that time, we were eager to save Lin Yinxue, and we didn't look carefully, just as if everyone died in battle. It was not until I returned to the Northern Hades Mansion that I knew that Lin Yuqing had also survived.
Eshanyue said, "In order to facilitate the treatment, we moved Lin Yinxue to a deep valley near Orion Village. Exactly two months later, she finally woke up from danger, but she had forgotten everything in the past.
Chu Tian nodded. This story should be the same as the narrative of Youao Mountain. No wonder Lin Xanqing thought that Lin Yinxue was dead. It turned out that she was seriously injured and in a coma and didn't know anything about what happened later.
"Later, I found that Ao Shan was getting more and more indifferent to me, and he spent all his mind taking care of Lin Yinxue. Although I didn't say anything, I understand that Aoshan was blaming me for set up nine prisons and killed so many innocent villagers.
An indescribable bitter smile escaped from the corners of E Shanyue's lips. "Maybe it's a woman's nature. It's more and more difficult for me to tolerate Lin Yinxue's obedience, so I proposed to hand her over to the divine palace for disposal. Unexpectedly, Aoshan refused, and we had a big quarrel and broke up.
- It turned out that he really blamed Youao Mountain. Chu Tian was extremely happy and grateful to Luojia. At the beginning, if he killed Youao Mountain with a sword, now he should regret it.
"After a few months, Aoshan finally returned to the Northern Underworld City alone. But he seems to have changed. He is drunk and decadent all day long, and he avoids me even more. Aoshan's father, my later father-in-law, was very disappointed with this. Before his death, he changed his mind and passed on the position of the head of the family to Qiren.
Eshanyue lowered her eyes and looked at the candlelight on the table, paused for a long time before saying, "Aoshan doesn't care about this at all, but it's getting more and more degenerate. Soon after, my father made the decision, and I married Qi Ren. On the day of marriage, Aoshan was not in Beiming City. I guess he must have gone to that valley to find Lin Yinxue again.
"Mrs. You, you're wrong. Brother You didn't blame you. He couldn't let himself go."
Chu Tian finally figured out the whole thing, and there was an unspeakable feeling in his heart.
It's really strange that he can't hate the woman in front of him, and even a little pity.
A person lives in the pain of the shadows of the past all day long. What kind of pain should he endure in his heart?
Chu Tian has tasted this taste personally, and he can experience the suffering much more than anyone else.
He said in a low voice: "He must understand that everything you have done is for him, so he is deeply immersed in self-reproach and guilt and blames all his faults. Otherwise, why should he be so painful, let alone hide it for you?
"Real?" In fact, Eshanyue has already thought of this, but it has become a boat. What's the benefit of adding pain?
This is God's punishment for himself, Eshanyue thought silently.
She couldn't help but envy Chu Tian and Luo Jia. Once, once, I also had such a cardamom age, and I also fell in love with my beloved, but it was completely changed because of a meaningless interception.
"Do you believe that the Battle of Feihongqiao was the second time I saw Aoshan after I got married." She smiled bitterly and asked, "You met Aoshan in Daya Mountain. Is he with Lin Yinxue?"
"There was also Sun's mother, but then we were besieged by Bidongzong. She died in battle to protect Brother You's body." Chu Tian did not hide it: "Later, Brother You and Lin Yinxue both disappeared and there has been no news so far."
"How can the people of Bidong Sect know the whereabouts of Ao Shan and Lin Yinxue?" Eshanyue was shocked.
Chu Tian didn't know this, so he shook his head.
Eshanyue settled down and said, "As soon as Sun's mother dies, I'm afraid Aoshan will not return to Beiming City. How is Lin Yinxue's situation?
"She still can't recover her memory, and her cultivation is lost like an ordinary person."
"Aoshan won't come back..." Eshanyue stared at the scissors used to build flower branches on the table for a moment and muttered to herself, "How strange it is. Sometimes I actually hope that I can exchange my identity with Lin Yinxue. It's better to disfigure myself and lose my memory--"
Chu Tian said, "But in fact, it is Lin Yinxue who has been hurt and disfigured and lost her memory. No one can change this."
"Yes, no one can change it." Eshanyue sighed gently and suddenly raised the scissors and scratched it on her face!
Chu Tian was shocked and grabbed the scissors and said, "What are you doing?"
There were two bright red blood marks on Eshanyue's cheeks. She didn't seem to feel any pain at all. She smiled and said sadly, "I should have done this six years ago. Why did I wait until today?"
Chu Tian shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Don't live in the pain of the past forever. You and Brother You should take care of themselves for each other.
"But I have lost my future." Eshanyue said softly. She stood up and picked up the precious plum blossom from the shelf and looked at the candlelight for a long time.
"On the night of the ninth day after marriage, Ao Shan suddenly came to see me with this pot of plum blossoms. He was full of pungent wine, looked haggard and afraid, and looked at me without saying a word. I asked him why he came now? You know, if he can appear earlier, he only needs a word and doesn't even need to open his mouth. Even if it's just a look, I will give up everything with him without hesitation - go to the ends of the world to the ends of the sea, even if it's the eighteenth floor of hell in the Huangquan Youjie, I will never regret it.
"But he just came to send this potted flower as a gift for your wedding?"
"This pot of plum blossom has been with me for six years. Every time I water, fertilize and prune it, I always think of the situation that night. From now on, it doesn't have to..."
"Bang!" She picked up the flower pot and smashed it to the ground. Chu Tian couldn't help but be surprised to see this: "You are--"
Eshanyue did not answer. She leaned over to check the flower mud. When she got up, she had a baby's fist-sized oilcloth package in her hand.
Her hands trembled slightly and opened the package under the light. Inside is a mottled and yellow paper, on which many ink lines that no one can understand are drawn crookedly, just like children's unintentional graffiti.
She stared at the drawing paper for a long time and handed it to Chu Tian and said, "I'll give it to you. I think Aoshan will also agree."
Chu Tian took the drawing paper for unknown reason and heard E Shanyue say, "This was drawn by Lin Yinxue after losing his memory. It is probably related to the secret picture of the Northern Underworld Treasure. For this picture, I lost Aoshan and you lost your home. Chu Tian, now you can kill me to avenge your parents... I'm the last murderer you are looking for."
