Chapter 216 Meng Po (24)
Chapter 216 Meng Po (24)
The water of Wangchuan River surges violently, and the sound of waves is disturbing.
Yue Niang couldn't hear what the two were saying.
I could only vaguely hear a few words.
"Resemblance", "fate" and so on.
"It's still fate. You won't meet in the next life."
She had seen that their entanglement stopped in this life, and they would not even have the chance to meet in the future lives.
"Yue Niang, are you dissatisfied?"
The tree spirit noticed that her reaction was different from usual.
"Really?" It was just a casual remark, there was no dissatisfaction at all.
"Yes, not only now, you were angry just now."
"You are angry because Cao Yushou doesn't value his life."
The tree spirit recalled how she had treated the passing souls.
Indifferent, dull, and calm.
Why could he stir up her heart, which had been silent for so long?
Just two mortals, they don't have such great abilities.
There must be someone else.
"Yes, I would be unhappy."
She admitted, "But isn't it supposed to be?"
"I put so much effort into this, is this the result?"
"But the outcome has nothing to do with you."
The tree spirit revealed this reality, "Were those tears not obtained smoothly?"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me."
She is just Meng Po who helps the dead souls forget their past.
What choices they make in life or where they are reincarnated after death are not things she needs to worry about.
"But you haven't seen that some people give everything just to live."
She even felt a little unfair, "If I had known that he was thinking this way, I would not have gone to kill the monarch of the Southern Kingdom five years ago."
"Instead, they went straight up and assassinated Princess Yinghua, so that they would become a pair of desperate mandarin ducks down there."
Isn’t this also a reunion?
Fortunately, she killed someone she thought deserved to be killed.
"The monarch of the Southern Kingdom is called Li Lan."
"When he was just 18 years old and had just grown up, he took over the mess left by his father."
The late emperor was born with a weak constitution and limited energy.
When it comes to handling government affairs, we often have the will but not the ability.
Therefore, the entire Southern Kingdom was supported by a few loyal and wise ministers.
But even so, the late emperor never lived to see the crown prince grow up.
Li Lan passed away at the age of eighteen, leaving behind his widowed mother, young brother and a country in decline.
Thanks to the fact that Li Lan had read a lot of books of sages since he was young, he was a natural king.
Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country and implemented drastic reforms.
In just over ten years, tall buildings have sprung up in the south.
Quickly surpassing the Northern Kingdom and a number of restless small countries around it.
But the price is not small.
Just like Cao Yushou, political achievements were achieved at the cost of his life.
Just after turning thirty, his health began to deteriorate.
At that time, I don't think he was so crazy as to want to save his own life.
He just prayed to God to give him more days to live.
My younger brother travels around the world just to repay my gratitude.
At first glance, the South seems to be developing rapidly and has a long-term potential.
But there is inevitably the possibility of forcing things to happen.
The problems that had accumulated over the years had not been eradicated, and the border troops lacked truly capable generals to lead them.
In this case, how can he leave with peace of mind?
What's more, he is not as good as his father.
He didn't even have any offspring.
His younger brother Li Lu shows no signs of getting married.
Could it be that the fruits of his painstaking efforts would eventually be handed over to a collateral relative?
When you are extremely anxious, it is inevitable that you will act irrationally.
His eyes turned to the elixir method.
At first, the hope was for a miracle cure.
However, the turning point came with Li Lu's return.
He also brought a child.
Li Lan swore that he was happy from the bottom of his heart at first.
At least, their generation has an heir.
Although he is not his biological son, he is still his nephew.
But what he should never have done was that when Li Lu was taking his child to the clan ceremony, he met Taoist Chen, who had gone out of the palace with him to watch the ceremony.
Taoist Master Chen noticed the difference in this child at first sight.
But she kept it to herself and did not explain the matter to the Emperor until she returned to the palace.
Until Li Lan fell seriously ill again.
People who are sick are the most vulnerable and most afraid of death.
Taoist Chen only said a few words, but the emperor remembered it.
From then on, it took root and sprouted.
The seeds of sin fell upon the poor child.
Li Yi was regarded as the trigger for his survival.
Ten years of shady tactics have caused this monarch, who has always been known for his wisdom, to suffer such a heavy loss.
He gradually degenerated into a villain who would do anything to achieve his goals.
He was so crazy that he even tried to defy fate and change his own life.
How could Yue Niang not know all this?
She saw this man too clearly.
So much so that they were blinded by the so-called justice.
Kill this man without hesitation.
She thought she was doing the right thing.
She thought so until she opened her eyes again and saw darkness.
But the moment I heard Cao Yushou's voice, this thought was like a bubble in the water, it burst without even being poked.
He doesn't want to live.
But some people still want to live.
Why would she go to the trouble of restoring her original destiny as determined by Heaven?
Is the way of heaven right?
She didn't know how to describe this feeling.
The heart that had already begun to restless in the human world was beating even faster at this moment.
And that unknown anger almost made her unable to suppress it.
So what does she want to do?
do not know.
All she knew was that she didn't like everything that was going on now.
I really want to destroy them all.
"He ascended the throne at the age of 18 and died at the age of 45. For nearly 30 years, he never did anything that was detrimental to the people or neglected his wise ministers..."
She muttered to herself.
Saw it.
"Are you really just feeling sorry for this guy called Li Lan?"
The tree spirit was not affected by her and tried to tear off her cover calmly and restrainedly.
"Perhaps, what you are dissatisfied with is not his death, but your death."
Yue Niang was shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"How can I die? I am Meng Po, I am immortal, so how can I die..."
"Yinghua," he added, "to be precise, Yinghua's death."
"Didn't you replace her?"
"If she dies, you die. If you die, she dies too."
"What's the difference?"
Yue Niang just thought it was ridiculous, "Of course there is, I am me, she is she..."
"No," the tree spirit interrupted her argument, "I'm afraid I can tell the difference, Yinghua can tell the difference, but you can't."
"I am Meng Po, not Yinghua. There is no difference between the two." She was so angry that she laughed. It was simply nonsense.
"Tree spirit, you've been a tree for so long that you've forgotten how normal people use their brains, right? Why are you talking more and more outrageous?"
The tree spirit was not annoyed. Rather than being affected, it became even colder, as if it had been quenched by ice. The words it spoke were chilling to the bone.
"I should be the one asking you this question."
"I made two trips to the human world. Not only did I become a mortal myself, but I also got to know several mortals."
"So, is it tainted with mortal emotions?"
The voice seemed to come from a faraway place, ethereal and cold.
"Mother Yue, you have been a mortal for so long, have you really forgotten your identity?"
