When the lights were on, Qin Xiao and the others were no longer in the original restaurant, but were sent by the Emperor of Yan to the palace. Emperor Yan warmly hosted a banquet to entertain several people. Qin Xiao originally thought that since the emperor was the younger brother of the fourth senior brother, he should be a man as brave as the fourth senior brother. However, Emperor Yan and Yun Feiyang did not look like Yun Feiyang at all. He had a round face, pale face, and obese body. A man in his forties walked with his back, like an old man in his late age, and had no demeanor of a king of a country. When he saw Yun Feiyang, he was a little timid and seemed very afraid of him, but when he saw Qin Xiao and the others, his eyes were full of pleasing smiles.
Delicious food, singing and dancing, but unfortunately everyone was not interested in it. Qin Xiao finally couldn't help asking his doubts: "Senior Brother, in the afternoon, you fought with that magical person, why did it end after just a test? I thought you would beat him up and flow."
"He was injured!" Ning Bugui spoke indifferently.
"Senior Brother, you mean that the descendant of the Wudao Demon Lord was injured, so you stopped." Ling Haotian reacted the fastest.
"Yes, although he covered up very well, when he fought with me, his spiritual power fluctuations were very chaotic, and there was a strong smell of blood on his body. It was obvious that he had just experienced a very fierce battle."
"I see!"
In the sky above the Imperial Tomb of Yan State, in recent days, a huge demon shadow appeared at night, wandering in the void. The demon shadow a hundred feet tall was like a giant. It was obviously an illusory shadow, but his roar finally made the people around him panic. At night, Ning Bugui was going to take everyone to investigate, but the demon shadow did not appear this night.
Under the dark twilight, many people were lingering over the imperial tomb of Yan State, waiting until the moon was in the middle of the sky. There was no reaction in the imperial tomb. Many people flew into the imperial tomb and searched around, trying to see if there were any strange formations or restrictions, but they all got nothing, and everyone left here in a lack of interest.
When he was idle and didn't want to stay in the house, Qin Xiao pushed open the window and jumped out, and practiced walking with the wind in the yard. The Yan Kingdom Palace is quite big. It was the first time that Qin Xiao had grown up to be in the palace. He was a little curious and kept exploring the palace. He walked around the palace and watched the flowers quickly. With the bright moon in the sky, it was really interesting. Although there were guards at night in the palace, Qin Xiao's speed could be seen by these people in the world. These guards only felt that there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing around him, and there was no reaction at all.
Yun Feiyang walked towards the night and walked into the most remote courtyard in the northwest corner of the palace. This courtyard was really simple and did not look like the place in the palace at all. However, even if all the places in the palace were magnificent, this would probably be the case here, because this is the cold palace, and it is actually a sensation of it. Although the walls outside looked tall and thick, you could already feel the desolation inside before you even walked in.
The thick mahogany lacquer courtyard door was mottled and white, and even the copper rings on the door were covered with green marks. When I pushed the door, I immediately made a harsh "creaking" sound, shaking, as if it would collapse at any time. The yard was full of weeds, and even the cracks of the stone steps were filled with weeds. It took too long for no one to clean it up. A smell of dampness and rottenness came to my nose. Under the eaves, a colorful spider was diligently forming a big net.
Yun Feiyang walked up the steps step by step on the wet grass and walked towards a room. The door of the room had been broken and was lying on the steps in a dilapidated way. You could see clearly inside the empty room and there was no furniture. Only a pile of rotten straw was thrown in the corner, emitting an unpleasant stench. A small handful of black flocs could be seen on the straw. If you pick up these flocs and take a closer look, you will find that the original things should be quilts.
Yun Feiyang stood quietly at the door, looking at everything in the room, his eyes seemed to pass through time and space, and saw a certain place. The night wind was slightly cool, Yun Feiyang stood there quietly, as if he was integrated with the darkness. I don’t know how long he had passed, but he suddenly turned to the outsider and said, “I have been standing for so long but haven’t appeared. Do you want me to invite you out?”
The chubby figure of Emperor Yan appeared at the gate of the yard, but did not come in. He curled timidly and saluted Yun Feiyang, "Brother, I just stood at the gate of the yard and had never been inside. Don't be angry."
He looked very old, but he called out the Prince Yun Feiyang who looked so beautiful. The scene looked really funny. This is probably the most fundamental reason why everyone in the world yearns for cultivation.
"I don't know if you dare, come in!" Yun Feiyang said indifferently.
Emperor Yan trembled all over and said cowardly: "But, didn't the emperor's brother mark this place as a forbidden area? I dare not go in."
"If you let you go in, how can you get so much nonsense?" Yun Feiyang frowned. Seeing Emperor Yan shrinking in, he didn't even dare to look at him. The expression on his face became even more ugly. "Look at you like this. Twenty years ago, you were also full of heroic spirit, full of passion and ambitions. Why did the emperor become like this after being the emperor for so many years?"
Emperor Yan was frightened by Yun Feiyang's stern tone and bowed his head. He was about to climb to the ground. He shrank his neck and spoke carefully: "It's useless. I have been a mess of national governance over the years. Or... or I will give you the throne back to you by my brother."
Yun Feiyang stared at Emperor Yan coldly, and only saw that Emperor Yan was sweating profusely, and said, "Don't worry, I will not ruin you personally. Since a cultivator has left the world, he will no longer be involved in the affairs of the world. You should do it yourself."
Xiaojing was exposed and Emperor Yan felt even more ashamed. He quickly explained: "Brother, I don't mean that, don't get me wrong."
"Do you know it yourself? It's too late, you go down?" Yun Feiyang said coldly.
"Wait, brother, I'm here to ask you something." Emperor Yan spoke hurriedly.
"What's the matter?"
"Do you think I can go with you to practice immortality? Anyway, I am not doing well as an emperor. It's better to pass it on to other princes. You don't have to be so powerful to you, your brother. As long as I can keep me from growing old so quickly." Emperor Yan looked at Yun Feiyang with a look of anticipation.
"You don't have the qualifications to cultivate your true nature, and it's useless even if you go there. Don't think about these unrealistic things. Go back and think carefully about how to govern the country."
After sending Emperor Yan away, Yun Feiyang suddenly said, "Little Junior Brother, why are you here too?"
"Fourth Senior Brother, I practiced the following wind step. I was so happy that I unknowingly walked around the palace and happened to see you here." Qin Xiao appeared on a wall and smiled at Yun Feiyang.
"Since you're here, I'll have some bar with my fourth brother."
Yun Feiyang threw it away casually, and a small wine jar flew towards Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao quickly caught it, turned over and jumped off the wall. But he knew that the rotten grass was too slippery and almost staggered to the ground. Qin Xiao quickly turned over and fell on the steps and asked in confusion: "How could the magnificent Yanhuang Palace have such a dilapidated yard? The beggar's nest is better than here."
Yun Feiyang smiled faintly, "It shouldn't have been so dilapidated, at least it's similar to the beggar's nest. It's just that twenty years ago, the Regent, marked the yard as a restricted area that day. No one dared to come for twenty years. It's already great that this simple yard has not collapsed."
"Why?"
Yun Feiyang pointed to the desolate yard and said, "This place carries the most unforgettable memories of my childhood."
"No, Brother Fourth, aren't you a prince? How could you live in such a place?" Qin Xiao widened his eyes in surprise, with an expression of incredulity.
"No matter where it is, there is always darkness that cannot be seen on the outside. People in the world think that the royal family is arrogant and rich and enjoyable, but they don't know how many of these people are really good."
Yun Feiyang took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air in his heart, "Junior brother, have you ever eaten the most unforgettable thing in your life?"
Qin Xiao was stunned, then as if he was trapped in a memory, and whispered: "It's a dry cake. Although the dry cake is hard and unpalatable, it will never be forgotten in my life."
Yun Feiyang seemed to have fallen into memories. He drank half a jar of wine in big mouthfuls, and then his voice became a little sad. "In this room, when I was about to die of hunger, I drank a bowl of hot blood. My mother's blood. In order to save me, she broke her wrist and put a bowl of blood for me to drink. For a five or six-year-old child, starvation was more terrible than death. At that time, I was lying on the pile of straw dying, thinking that in the future, I must be a chef who can make a lot of delicious food and drink, and take my mother to eat all the good things in the world."
Everyone has a past that they don’t want to recall. When they think of these past things, they always hope that there is someone around them who listens quietly to you and doesn’t need to do anything. Just listen quietly, so Qin Xiao just stood quietly next to Yun Feiyang without saying a word.
"My mother is not from Yan. She was originally the princess of Qin. At that time, the monarch of Yan, my father, was brave and good at fighting. He led the imperial army to attack Qin's territory. Not only did he abduct the monarch of Qin, but he also took my mother to enrich the harem. Soon after, my mother gave birth to me. At that time, Yan was at its peak and was very powerful. He looked down on his mother with Qin's blood. After my father was disgusted with my mother, he directly sent us into this cold palace together. My mother was originally a gentle and quiet woman, but in order to make me survive, she tried every means to secretly go to the imperial kitchen to pick up leftovers. Sometimes she was humiliated by the palace maids and chefs for a bit of rotten food. She even caught mice and looked for cockroaches in the most difficult times. Her hair was even worse than beggars. I was able to grow up smoothly under the persistent care of my mother."
Yun Feiyang raised his head and drank the remaining wine in one sip. He threw it down the jar of wine and continued, "Later, a famous handsome talent appeared in Qin State. He was Ji Tong, the general of the cavalry. He led his army all the way from the border of Yan State, and pointed directly at the imperial city of Yan State. Yan State was in turmoil and was about to break the city. That was the most difficult time for my mother and I. The people in the palace were panic and hated us who had Qin State blood. Having no food was the simplest punishment. My mother was
The torture was almost invisible, but for me, my mother forced herself to hold on. She was afraid that I would starve to death, so she carried me to drink my blood and cut off the flesh for me to eat. Later, for some reason, the Emperor of Qin issued twelve edicts to recall Ji Tong. In order to make peace, my father remembered that my mother and I came, so he asked someone to pick us up. Unfortunately, my mother didn't wait for that day. On a stormy night, she took her last breath and left me."
"That year, I was only six years old, but I would never forget that day in my life. At that time, I swear that I must make the people who have hurt my mother pay the price. When I was frustrated countless times, I would come to this yard quietly, recalling the moment when my mother and I depended on each other to motivate me to overcome difficulties and continue to move forward. Finally, I successfully pushed my father off the platform and all those who have hurt my mother were lingering. But when power and status were placed at hand, my heart was not as happy as I imagined. I would rather be an ordinary chef than stay in this cold and gray palace."
After saying all this, Yun Feiyang stood in the yard for a long time before coming to his senses. The dawn breeze blew gently, lifting up the hair on his forehead. Yun Feiyang smiled apologetically at Qin Xiao and said, "My junior brother, I'm so embarrassed to let you listen to my nonsense all night."
Qin Xiao shook his head and smiled: "Senior Brother Fourth, I'm a little hungry after standing for so long. I want to eat the dishes you cooked. Let's go to the kitchen to take a look. Maybe I can find good things that Zhuhai doesn't have."
"Let's go. I haven't touched the kitchen for so long, and my hands are itchy. Brother Fourth, today, I will make Yan Qin's chew for you to eat enough." Yun Feiyang picked up the kitchen knife and walked towards the kitchen with great momentum.
A "boom" sound suddenly came from behind, which was the sound of the house collapse. Yun Feiyang looked back and was stunned when he saw that the room carrying his childhood memories suddenly collapsed, and the rotten wood and tiles were shattered. After a while, he showed a faint smile, as if he had completely put down the burden in his heart, "Forget it, the past is with the wind, and the smoke and dust are like a dream, let it pass."
At this moment, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly surged out of Yun Feiyang's body. At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to surge wildly in the air. A violent golden light emerged from Yun Feiyang's body, covering him and slowly rising into the air.
It was about to break through. Qin Xiao's eyes shone, and he quickly retreated and sent the palace guards who came over because of the movement. The night owl Ling Haotian usually doesn't sleep at night. He stood on the highest roof in the palace and looked at Yun Feiyang, and murmured: "Fourth Junior Brother, this bastard, has broken through most of the night without sleeping. Should I be so active? At the Qianyuan Martial Arts Conference, I just broke through to the realm of concentration in the front foot, and he caught up with me. Before going down the mountain, I squandered the power of the nine ox and two tigers to advance to the stage of concentration in the concentration period. He caught up directly as soon as he got off the mountain, which made my second brother say with great shame."
