The Three-Life Stone

One hundred and sixty-seven years in the Northern Kingdom, a great and upright ruler who put the people first and understood the righteousness of the cause passed away.

Bei Ming Mo died in such a hurry before he even turned 59. He had no children, so his successor would be chosen from the best of the emperor's younger brother's descendants.

On the eve of his departure, Bei Ming Mo instructed that after his brother's death, his body would not be buried in the imperial mausoleum, but in a cave on the Canghai Mountain. If this could not be done, he would die with regret.

After everyone left, he patted Si Yu's hand, his eyes exceptionally clear.

"Xiao Yu, you have followed me for most of my life. You don't have to be sad that I am leaving first. I have had enough of this life. You and Xiao Chen should live well and live longer. You should enjoy more peace and happiness in the future."

"Your Majesty is talking nonsense. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. How can you walk ahead of an old minister? Your Majesty is in good health, so please stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Don't try to make me happy. I have something else to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Bei Mingmo couldn't help laughing when he saw the old-fashioned Si Yu in high spirits. "Being with Jiang Chen has indeed changed a lot. I don't need to go through fire and water for you. I just want your adopted son to go safely. You should take it easy with your old arms and legs."

Si Yu's eyes were slightly red, tears welled up in his eyes. He knew that the emperor wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he acted more relaxed and said, "Your Majesty hasn't said anything yet, but you're already complaining about this old minister's useless arms and legs."

"I am not at ease leaving this matter to others. After much thought, I think it is most appropriate for you to supervise it. After I leave, you will find someone to bury the red spider lily in my bedroom on my grave. Find someone to prepare a set of clothes for different ages and put them in the cave. You don't need to let others know about this."

Canghai Mountain is located high in the clouds and deep in the sea. There is a cave halfway up the mountain. This was the old emperor's last wish, and everyone tried their best to fulfill it. However, as it was against the rules, the journey was not too ostentatious.

Ping An followed the end of the team slowly, holding a flower. After everyone had left, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. No one dared to step forward. He kowtowed three times, muttering something, then buried the flower on the grave and bowed three times, looking back every few steps as he walked away.

For the rest of his life, Ping An would set out on this journey every one or two years. He would usually bring some food, clear the weeds, and burn some paper money, rain or shine.

One day a few years later, Ping An took the child back and forth between the two grave mounds, one step deep and one step shallow. Ping An told him the story of the wise emperor Bei Ming Mo, and the story of the loyal minister Si Yu. When they went back, only an adult's footprint was left behind. It turned out that the child had fallen asleep on his father's back.

Ping'an was too old to go there anymore, so he looked in the direction of Canghai Mountain and made an agreement with his son that future generations didn't have to go there to worship frequently, but everyone had to go there once to learn about their ancestral culture.

In Nanxing Kingdom, Nangong Yu took out several autobiographies placed at the back of the library and ordered people to grind ink and prepare paper. Later, he went to the desk and copied two versions based on Luo Xing's autobiography, one was about the love-hate relationship between Luo Xing and Nangong Yu and the Luo family in the world, and the other was about how Jinxing and Nangong Yu founded Nanxing Kingdom while hiding in the world.

One can be savored by everyone as a story, and the other will be known from generation to generation as history.

Nangong Yu knew that the emperor was dead and the prince would take the throne and then get rid of him. Unfortunately, he not only had no intention of competing for the imperial power, but now he had someone he wanted to protect. After executing the Luo family members neatly, he shook his hands and said, "Isn't he just a prince? I don't want to be one."

Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in the world with Jinxing and his personal guards incognito, living a carefree life? Why bother with intrigue?

Passing by Changtai Mountain, Nangong Yu and Jinxing saw the place where she and her mother once lived. The wooden house was almost the same as when they left except for a layer of dust. Looking at the sheets and bedding, Jinxing felt as if she were in another world. She could still smell the scent of her mother, but it was a pity that her mother was no longer there.

Nangong Yu thought that this place was in a good location and not far from Jinxing's mother, which was suitable for them to live in seclusion in the future, so he chose Changtai Mountain as their final destination. Except for the two guards that Nangong Yu brought with him, the rest of the people stayed here, and they built one wooden house after another starting from the first one.

Nangong Yu and Jin Xing met a lot of people during their travels. They realized that rebirth is rare, but not an isolated case. They also met people who traveled through time, one from the past to the present, one from the future to the past, and other people who did not exist on this land. It was really eye-opening. They talked with these people, and some of them came to Changtai Mountain in advance.

When Nangong Yu and Jin Xing passed by certain places, they would buy a house to live in. After getting to know the local customs and practices, some people who had lost their homes in the war, and some people who had suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters would not only be introduced to Changtaishan, but would also stay in the house according to their personal wishes.

It can be said that Nangong Yu not only accompanies Jinxing in traveling and rescuing refugees, but his blood is boiling and his ambition is rising. He wants to create a country.

It turned out that he didn't want to be an emperor, but he was not interested in being an ordinary emperor. What he wanted was to create a place where everyone could live in peace, away from disputes, so that wandering people could have a home.

The houses were bought to provide a place for homeless people to live, and to monitor the situation nearby. There is a tunnel under each house leading to the vicinity of Changtai Mountain. Even if someone finds out, it doesn't matter. Being able to reach Changtai Mountain does not necessarily mean you can reach their base. Qin Yunhuai, who was injured and weak in the battle between immortals and demons, was also taken care of by Nangong Yu. After hearing about Changtai Mountain, he went directly there to recuperate.

Jinxing looked at Nangongyu, Nangongyu looked at Jinxing, and they smiled at each other.

What does it matter if I can't walk around in this world with my name? Just stay by my side until we travel through thousands of rivers and mountains and head towards our own world.

There is a kind of feeling called telepathy. You don't need to say it, I know you want to ignore the world and go out, so I will prepare everything to accompany you the moment you say it. I don't need to say that I want to make friends with heroes all over the world, you just say you want to walk around the world and accompany me to see one capable hero after another.

When Nangong Yu and Jin Xing returned to Changtai Mountain, it was no longer what it used to be. It had become a hidden village nestled in the mountains and beside the water. Most of the people there were people they had met before and had been screened. Some of them had brought others with them to live in seclusion here. Qin Yunhuai's injuries had healed and he looked nothing like he did before.

For absolute safety, Nangong Yu suggested digging an underground palace. If anyone found Nanxing Township, they could also enter the Nanxing Palace. This was a big project and everyone not only had no objection, but also gave their own methods. In order to give this place a suitable name, they took the "Nan" from Nangong Yu and the "Xing" from Jinxing, and created the original Nanxing Palace.

With the help of Qin Yunhuai, Nanxing Palace was passed down from generation to generation. The map marked the territories under the blue sky, and the underground development was continuously improved by generations of Nangong Yu.
