After Zhao Qingyu left Zhumeng Xiaoju and returned to the city lord's palace, Zhao Tianming sent his men to pretend to be ordinary people living nearby to report to him what was going on here, especially whether any men had entered.
So the city lord knew that the Shui family entered Meng Furong's house that night. He was very nervous. What if Meng Furong agreed to return to the Shui family?
After much thought, he still wanted to confirm the matter in person.
It just so happened that the city lord's palace was going to distribute blessing cakes after the Moon Festival. They were enshrined on the altar on the day of the celebration. They would be distributed to the people of Xuanjian City after the festival. It was for everyone's good luck.
Zhao Tianming thought that Meng Furong was so kind and should be interested in distributing blessing cakes, so he immediately wrote to her and invited her to distribute blessing cakes and have fun with the people of Xuanjian City.
When Tang Yue received the letter, he was puzzled for a while, asking her to send blessing cakes when he had nothing to do. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that the city lord was uneasy about the visit of the Shui family during the day and wanted to confirm the matter with her.
She sighed softly: "The lord of a city is so anxious for some money, I really can't see it."
"What you earn is not just a little money, it is enough to support a city." Meng Furong actually took the form of a human body and sat with her at the Eight Immortals Table.
If a third person comes in at this time, he will be surprised to find two identical stunning women sitting here.
Tang Yue was surprised: "Can you change your body here?"
"Well, I have more energy, so I can come here." She closed most of the illusions in the Black Cloud Secret Realm, and let out the unimportant monks, leaving a few behind.
So there is extra energy entering this last illusion.
The Yin-Yang Ring absorbs energy at an alarming rate, and the illusions outside cannot last long.
Tang Yue touched her hand, and it felt real, like a real person, "Did you create another body?"
"It's just some illusion, it only lasts for a while."
As soon as Meng Furong appeared, Tang Yue discovered his problem. The temperament and confidence of a peerless beauty in the other party were something she did not have.
Fortunately, when she and Shui Xuanming got along, they always rejected each other, so that he had no time to notice the difference in the "Dream Hibiscus" in front of him, otherwise the secret would be exposed.
Then she thought of something else, "At that critical moment, I can replace you, or together, we will have the ability of two combined monks, and we should be able to barely eliminate Kong Yingzong."
Meng Furong nodded, "I think so too."
Tang Yue paused, feeling that Meng Furong's feelings were a bit bad, "Is it because you suddenly showed up because I rejected the Shui family during the day? Did I do something wrong?"
To her, Shui Xuanming was an elder she had only met once, equivalent to a stranger. Naturally, she would not show mercy to him, but Meng Furong would feel a little unhappy.
"You did a good job. If I could have done this, I wouldn't have fallen into that situation." Meng Furong looked a little sad.
"This is because I have no feelings for Shui Xuanming. You must have accepted him at that time."
"Yes, I was ready in my heart to marry him and let him be the father of my unborn child. That's why I stayed in the Shui family to fight for my life. I was naive at the time, thinking that since he could tell,
It will definitely be done.”
Tang Yue thought for a while and put forward one thing, "Then you go see him. Even if he is in the illusion, it would be good to have a conversation."
Meng Furong shook her head, "I don't have that much time to show up now. I can only come out to talk to you, but I have to stay at the critical moment."
She touched the tea cup lightly and continued: "Besides, all this has passed, and I don't know what to say. In reality, he is already the ancestor of the Shui family, with a family full of children and grandchildren, and is happy, so why should I bother.
"
Tang Yue suddenly understood that Meng Furong appeared at this time just to talk to her for a while and relieve her worries.
"Ah Yue, how do you know that my mother is in charge of my family?" Meng Furong was very curious about this matter. The specific situation of the Meng family has never been revealed to the outside world.
"I thought that the Meng family are descendants of goddesses, and the status of women should not be low."
"That's right. Men and women of the Meng family can inherit the position of head of the family. My mother is the head of the family of that generation."
Tang Yue touched her belly and asked her: "Why doesn't Sister Meng take the child home to raise her?" This is what she doesn't understand the most. It is always more appropriate to take her home.
Meng Furong explained: "This is the rule of the Meng family. You can only leave the clan once. No matter whether you settle down or travel, you will not interfere. If you go back, you cannot leave the clan a second time. I was still greedy for the outside world at that time.
It was so novel that I didn’t think about going home. I didn’t expect that I was careless and underestimated the dangers in the outside world, and ended up losing my life.”
Tang Yue shook his head, "It's hard to guard against a villain. Now that I know the key to the matter and understand Kong Yingzong's tricks, I can barely think of a way to deal with it."
"Perhaps I was destined to suffer this fate. It is irreversible now. As long as I kill Mr. Kong, I will have no regrets."
Then a key carved from black bamboo appeared in her hand, "This is the key to a secret room in the old palace. There is nothing else there, only a pool of liquid made of vitality. Take the little Phoenix in, and she can grow up."
.”
Tang Yue took the Mozhu key and asked, "How come my sister has the key to the old palace?"
Meng Furong said: "In the past few hundred years, when I had nothing to do, I would take a look at the excitement in the fantasy world. One night, soaring vitality actually appeared in the old palace, so I went there to see what appeared.
Someone sneaked into the old palace secretly and used this object to open the secret room. He probably didn't expect that the movement would be so big, and he was caught on the spot."
"How did this man know the secrets of the old palace?"
"I heard that his ancestors used to serve the Ji royal family and took this thing away when they escaped from the palace in the chaos. They asked future generations to take out the treasures in the secret room when they have the opportunity."
"There is only a pool of liquid vitality there?"
Meng Furong thought for a while, "At least when I went to see it, I only saw the vitality pool. The secret realm of black clouds rotates according to the sky and the earth, and the cause and effect cycle turns into an illusion. Everything that happened during it really existed, and everything happened in the past.
Of course, the Yuan Qi Pond has existed before. I felt a strange movement in the space at that time. It must be that the Ji Royal Family connected this place to other places."
Tang Yue exclaimed, "There are so many good things in Ji Huang Palace, how could they be destroyed?"
"I have also investigated this matter, and I heard that it was the god they worshiped who sent down divine punishment, so they must be defeated."
"Aren't the gods worshiped by the Ji royal family the gods who live in the palace now?" The gods manage the human world in accordance with the law and generally do not interfere in the human world. It is impossible to favor a royal family in the world of immortality and allow them to gain more power than ordinary monks.
.
"It should not be the Immortal Buddha in the heaven today. I heard that it is a god that the Ji family secretly worships. It has always been a secret that the Ji family does not tell outsiders. So I didn't find out what happened specifically. I only heard some rumors. Some fragments of history books.
According to records, the old god gave the Ji royal family extraordinary powers and treasures, allowing them to gain the power to rule and start the era of the Ji royal family. This lasted for tens of thousands of years, but suddenly offended the god and was abandoned by the god.
It was defeated by the big families joining together."
"Is it an old god like Zhu Rong we met last time?"
"I don't know, maybe not. This god can circumvent the supervision of heaven and cause an imbalance of power in this world for ten thousand years. It is very unusual."
In other words, the Ji family relied on the power of an unknown god to ascend to rule and was destroyed because of it. Tang Yue thought it sounded so evil. Could it be the evil god Cthulhu?
While she was thinking, a knock on the door interrupted her, "Miss Meng, the second young master of the Shui family who visited during the day came to visit again. Do you want him to come in?"
The maid only came to pass the news because this man said a few words during the day. If other people came, they would definitely ignore them.
Tang Yue knew that his grandfather would not give up the search for the Phoenix Fire Spirit, so he said to the door: "Let him come in."
