The Second Emperor of the East is here, who else is there?

When Zhang Kaifeng rushed in, he saw such a scene.

Yu Jizi, who had always been moody and angry, slumped half-kneeling on the ground, holding Donghuang Taiyi's lifeless body in his left hand, and a crystal-clear Yuansoul Orb in his right hand.The light of Yuanhun Orb cast spots of golden light on his face, which was nothing but his tears.

It turned out that even someone as strong as Yu Jizi could cry.

"Yu..." Zhang Kaifeng was just about to call out for someone, when he saw Yu Jizi making a silent gesture, retracting the soul orb, hugging Donghuang Taiyi's body and leaving silently.

"Am I late..." He looked at Donghuang Taiyi's hideous and terrifying wound crawling all over his body, and then at Yu Jizi, who was in chaos and pale, and suddenly guessed something, but he endured it, No more questions.

"No, it's not too late," Yu Jizi smiled wryly, "It's just that there is one more person I want to resurrect."

**

The 550th year of the Great Wilderness calendar is a turning point in the fate of the Great Wilderness.

After the rebellion of the Youqiong Clan came to an end, Cheng Wang Zhongkang ascended the throne as King Zhongkang. General Dingyong, who was defeated and committed suicide, is the guard of Xiling.

In the autumn of the first year of Zhongkang, King Zhongkang welcomed his wife, Jinyue, and his son into the imperial city of Xiling, and named the prince as his heir.

Since then, the two schools of Tianjiying and Lingyu Mountain Villa have become more and more powerful with the promotion and help of the Huaxia Dynasty, and the other schools have also received many awards from the Dynasty because they raised troops to serve the king.

Yijian Tingyu Pavilion, Cuiwei Tower.

Lu Nanting walked out of the courtyard, slowly raised his head, looked at the clouds in the sky, and sighed silently.

I don't know what happened to that child now.

After that great battle, the three giants of Youdu have completely disappeared.It has been several months since Qiye locked the gate of Shuofang City. Yu Jizi and Donghuang Taiyi somehow disappeared into the East China Sea, and no one could trace them. Zhang Kaifeng even disappeared completely and never returned to Yinglong Temple. , and there were even rumors that the Demon Lord of Youdu had died in that catastrophe.

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Nanting felt as if his heart was being grabbed by something, struggling with pain, and the unspeakable despair even made him unable to breathe.

"Master," the sword slave quietly floated out holding the sword, and stood behind Lu Nanting.

"Sword slave, are you here?" Lu Nanting smiled, then sighed softly.

"King Zhongkang, the decree was issued yesterday, and I would like to ask you to be the assistant minister, master, look..."

"No," Lu Nanting shook his head resolutely: "Slave of Swords, Yijian Tingyu Pavilion is an unfettered sect, what's the use of these worldly rewards!"

What's more, no matter how many rewards there are, how can they match that person's forgiveness!

Thinking of this, Lu Nanting sighed again.

If the disciples under his sect knew that he had such complex emotions towards the Youdu Demon Lord whom people hated to the bone, they would definitely despise Zhang Kaifeng just like they despised Zhang Kaifeng back then!

But unfortunately, can't let go, can't forget.

The word love is like a poison in the stomach, it is difficult to give up, it is difficult to give up.

In the bamboo grove outside the Cuiwei Building, a handsome young man wearing a brand-new black student uniform of Yijian leaned against a pole of bamboo while wearing sunglasses, looking at the frightened young man in blue with a small ax in front of him. .

"...Brother, this is the bamboo that the head told me to cut down to make the sword box. May I ask, can you..."

Zhang Kaifeng looked at the boy who was only about ten years old, and was a little absent-minded.

How many years has it been since he was called a senior brother?

Back then, he was also like this young man, he had longed for that handsome and tall senior brother!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help smiling, and lowered his head to stroke the boy's soft hair.

"Don't be afraid, it's not that you don't know the temper of the head of the sect. It's true that he looks stern. In fact, he is soft-hearted and messed up." Unconsciously, he said the words he suppressed in his heart: " Hey, look, senior brother may be going on a long trip, and when we meet the master, don't forget to ask him how the chrysanthemums are blooming!"

"Eh?" The young man blinked in confusion, thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Okay brother, I'll ask after I finish cutting these bamboos... Hey, where are you?"

**

Xiling Imperial City.

King Zhongkang wore a black robe representing the status of a king, and slowly walked up the jade steps, overlooking the bustling and lively Xiling City in the distance.

After a while, he paused, and slowly walked into his bedroom, took a broken scroll and held it in his hand.

The scroll originally belonged to Yunlu Xianju, but it has long lost its proper aura and powerful magic power, and it just lay quietly in his hand, as if saying something silently.

"My lord, the prime minister is waiting for you to be summoned outside." A small palace maid knocked on the door and whispered to Zhongkang, "The prime minister said, you know what to do!"

"Wait a minute, I'll go out now." Zhongkang put the scroll in his sleeve, and walked out slowly, and sure enough, he saw Prime Minister Yi in dark blue fine clothes standing calmly under the jade steps, his eyes neither sad nor happy.

"Why is the Prime Minister looking for the lonely king at such a late hour?" Zhong Kang asked quietly, but secretly clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves.

"My lord, I am here to prosecute Uncle Xia," Yi said in a low voice, his gestures were respectful, but his tone was not necessarily humble, but cold like a poisonous snake: "Uncle Xia has long been disobedient. , the proton’s life, don’t worry about it!”

"This..." Zhongkang's nails dug into his flesh tightly, but there was no way to refute - all the elites of Tianji Camp and Lingyu Villa are in the hands of Prime Minister Yi, who has spent all his energy and plotted for several years The throne he just obtained, now that he has really obtained it, he realizes that he is just a good-looking person, used to stabilize the decoration of the disciples of the sect. The real power is all in Yi's hands, and he can't grab it. He wants to keep his wife, children and family. With his own life, he could only obediently be a puppet king in Xiling Imperial City.

And now, is Xia Bo, the only powerful minister who is loyal to him, also being targeted by Yi?

Thinking of this, Zhongkang slowly closed his eyes, held the scroll in his sleeve with trembling fingers, and smiled wryly.

——Is this the reason why you said those words to me back then, Jue Chen?

He still remembers to this day that in the long pavilion of Xiaoyingzhou, the man in the golden robe held a chess piece in his hand, with a little sadness in his smile and endless exhaustion.Such a look should not have appeared on the face of a young man like him, but he still engraved that scene in his heart forever.

"Chengwang, is it really... meaningful for you to fight for such an illusory position? Are you really sure that you won't regret it one day in the future?"

"Are you really sure that before you die in the future, you won't be nostalgic for everything you lost in order to achieve your goal?"

At that time, he was young and energetic, and he only said that I chose the path myself, so there is no possibility of regretting it. In the future, when you rule the world, you will definitely promise to give you the head of Yunlu Xianju, but what you get is only Jue Chen, who is as shallow as ever. Faint smile.

Now, recalling the voice and appearance of his old friend all the time, Zhongkang finally couldn't control the regret in his heart.

Yes, he regretted it!

Rather than being a puppet king who can't do everything independently and can only be manipulated by Yi, he is really better. Be a knight-errant like his dream, just like when he first met Juechen. no longer go.

"Prime Minister, well done." After the turmoil in his mind, Zhongkang closed his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice, "Do everything according to your wishes!"

A satisfied smile flashed across Yi's face.

During the palace change that year, he threatened the lives of Xia Jinyue and his prime minister to force Zhongkang to surrender his military power.From then on, Hou Yi became the de facto ruler of the Huaxia Dynasty.

Power is really irresistible, and it's not in vain... He exchanged his own body to encourage Donghuang Taiyi, the so-called main god who was dazzled by hatred, to help him obtain part of the power of Youdu King Zhuanxu.

I still remember that year, he was the hero Ling Yun who had just suppressed Long Xie.That damned King Taikang gave him a lot of glory, but he didn't give him any actual authority, so he had to pretend to be a pseudonym, and dealt with the identities of Hou Yi and Yi Shi between humans and gods.

The final ending was not bad, at least, he finally got what he wanted, and he was the final winner in this game of power.

**

Donghuang Taiyi felt that his whole heart was hurting.

When he woke up, he found that his face, mouth and nose were covered with a translucent weird device, and all kinds of strange "boxes" around him were beeping non-stop.

A woman with a coffin face and wearing... cool clothes walked in with a blue thing in her arms and looked at him, seeming a little surprised.

"Come here, the patient in hospital bed No. 3 has successfully escaped from the vegetative state and needs a comprehensive examination!"

"Where is this place?" Taiyi Donghuang felt that her whole body was in pain, and seeing the woman's unrestrained attitude, she couldn't help but get angry: "Hey, my God is asking you something, where is this place? Which part of the wilderness?"

"The patient in bed No. 3 has a mental disorder. It should be a mild neurosis after waking up. Find a psychiatrist!" The female nurse looked up at him, turned and left calmly.

"Hey... Hey!" Donghuang Taiyi was completely discouraged.

Betting on the nobility and dignity of his super god of the sun, this world is definitely not a wilderness!

Moreover, this weird feeling is amazing!

Not long after, a large group of white coats carrying all kinds of equipment rushed into the room, and pushed him back to the bed without any explanation, and various strange movements followed.

"Let me go, let me go!!!" Donghuang Taiyi kept struggling with a black face.

"Help, molestation...!"

……

After another torture, Donghuang Taiyi, who was covered in bandages all over his body, suddenly felt that his future...was in jeopardy!

*****

Decades have passed, and the stars have moved.

In the 562 year of the Great Wilderness Calendar, King Zhongkang died, and the Crown Prince Xiang ascended the throne as King Xiang.

The 14-year-old young king seldom sees his father, and his mother and concubine have always spoiled him. Therefore, when he first succeeded to the throne, he appointed Prime Minister Yi as the auxiliary minister, who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

The actual power holder of the Huaxia Dynasty has changed since then.

……

In the 574th year of the Great Wilderness Era, King Xiang launched a mutiny, was defeated and captured, and his whole family was trapped in the imperial palace of Xiling.

In the sea of ​​flames, King Xiang tore apart a shaft of oath given to him by his father Zhongkang.

When the fire in the imperial city subsided, Yi found the bodies of King Xiang and his wife, but only his only son, Shaokang, who had just turned seven years old, was missing. There were rumors in the palace that there was a man dressed in black in the sea of ​​flames. The image is a woman, which should mean that Xiang Wang's lineage is unpopular and has been swallowed by ghosts.

The next day, Hou Yi, the prime minister and assistant minister, succeeded to the throne as King Yi.

After Yi succeeded to the throne, he sent all the elites of the Tianji Camp and the monsters to find the child who had mysteriously disappeared. Unexpectedly, after several years of searching, there was no result. The child seemed to disappear out of thin air. I searched everything, but couldn't find any news about Shaokang.

……

On the day of the palace change, the young Shaokang was rescued by a mysterious woman in black.

At this time, the young boy was curious and looked at the woman in black who was holding him in front of him with some guard.The woman had a beautiful face, with some devilish aura, but she was more beautiful than all the women in his father's harem.

"Who are you, why did you save me?" Shaokang's rough experience doomed him to be young and precocious. He looked at this seemingly harmless woman, but he was still a little worried.

"My name is Moji," the woman replied, "I am the queen of Youdu. Your grandfather Zhongkang made an agreement with me before his death. At this time, we must save the life of his descendants and leave a bloodline for the Xuanyuan clan."

Shaokang's face also became serious.In order to protect his own lineage, did his grandfather not hesitate to sign a contract with the people in Youdu?Don't those monsters in Youdu only kill extremely evil people?

"Grandfather Zhongkang, what price did he pay?" Zhongkang hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice.

"In the next hundred years, the Huaxia Dynasty and Youdu will never invade, and..." Mo Ji paused, and continued: "After Zhongkang leaves, he will use his soul as a cage and all of his blood as a seal to completely seal it. The dead ancient bronze gate cut off all connections between Youdu King Zhuanxu and the world."

Shaokang's face turned pale again, he thought for a while, then lowered his head, and asked, "But, how are you going to protect me? Yi is so powerful, he will find me one day!"

"Oh," Mo Ji sneered, "Have you forgotten the content of the contract? Once the Huaxia Dynasty sends troops into Youdu, the Youdu King and his wife have the right to kill those disciples who do not abide by the agreement. Nowadays, there are frequent civil turmoil in the Huaxia Dynasty. The disciples of the sect are already in harmony with each other, and at this time, no matter how brave Yi is, he will not find you in Youdu! I will protect you until you grow up safely, and I will obey your grandfather Zhongkang's wishes, let You join the sect and start a new life as an ordinary person."

Shaokang looked at the powerful demonic energy surrounding Mo Ji, he hesitated to speak.

**

A few days later, a rare guest came from Shuofang City.

The man in purple robe suddenly appeared on the city wall of Shuofang like a ghost, and stepped into the palace.At this time, Mo Ji was taking Shaokang around to observe and explain. Seeing someone coming, she was slightly startled: "Yu Jizi, why are you here? Where have you been for more than 20 years!"

Yu Jizi didn't answer, but just looked down at Shaokang who was in awe.

Yujizi, the former national teacher of the dynasty, the legendary godslayer!

His reputation has already been mentioned time and time again by Shaokang's father and mother, the master of the world of evil shadows who is powerful enough to stand up to the gods.

"Mo Ji, I came here this time because I wanted some seeds of Bianhua, and the experiment failed again." Yu Jizi sighed, his expression hard to hide his exhaustion.

Mo Ji recalled the Youqian Rebellion more than [-] years ago, and couldn't help but think of an old friend.

"Yu Jizi, are you still obsessed with resurrecting him?" She endured the sourness in her heart, and asked softly: "His soul has been lost so much, what will he look like after resurrection, do you have any memories of the past?" , isn't it not certain?"

"There will always be a way." Yu Jizi didn't care.

"...Okay, it's up to you, I'll get you some flower seeds." Mo Ji sighed—the so-called God Slayer is actually just a person who is stuck in the past and can't get out.

Shaokang quietly looked at this man who made even the Queen Youdu respect him.He knew in his heart that this might be his only chance, a powerful one.

He went forward and knelt at Yujizi's feet.

"Master Yujizi, please accept me as an apprentice!" He raised his voice and looked at Yujizi fearlessly.

"Oh, you are the son that King Xiang will keep at the expense of himself?" Yu Jizi raised his eyes, and took a serious look at Shaokang: "Why, choose me?"

"Because I want to get back what I lost," Shaokang replied without hesitation: "Being an ordinary person is what Zhongkang's grandfather expected of me, but didn't you do it back then? We all control our own destiny, so, I think, I should and can create my own destiny, with my own hands."

Yu Jizi took a deep look at Shaokang, the boy was still immature, but there was premature attachment in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll accept you." Yu Jizi nodded: "This time, you follow me."

There was some surprise and excitement in the boy's eyes.He knew that his fate might change from today onwards.

**

In the 600th year of the Great Wilderness, Shaokang, the only son of the former Prime Minister, successfully restored his country after ten years of war.

Walking into the imperial city of Xiling, where the memory is already fading, and sitting in the highest position, King Shaokang suddenly felt an unknown loneliness.

He recalled the faint whispers among the palace people when he was a child. They all said that when his grandfather Zhongkang was buried, the only thing he designated to go into the tomb with him was a dilapidated Yunlu scroll. His queen, the Xia family, never got the chance to be buried with him.

He recalled his master Yu Jizi, who was obviously such an outstanding and noble demon king, but he was born to spend an hour every day fishing with a fishing rod in the East Sea.Even, he was taken aback at the beginning, just because Yu Jizi's cooking skills were not even much worse than the imperial chefs in the Xiling Imperial City!

He once asked Yu Jizi why he did not want this world that is at his fingertips, but he did such boring or even meaningless things every day. Yu Jizi just smiled and said that maybe one day in the future, you will understand up.

At that time, you will be able to willingly give up this world, just to protect a promise you made with one person.

When she said this, Yu Jizi's face was filled with genuine peace and joy, as if she owned the whole world.

Shaokang thought, he doesn't understand this feeling, and now, he doesn't want himself to understand it either.

**

After Shaokang ascended the throne, he deliberately abandoned his followers and came to Biluohai in the East China Sea alone, an inconspicuous small island.

That is Yu Jizi's residence, the entrance between the world of evil shadows and the human world. Fifty years ago, Yu Jizi personally set this entrance here in the East China Sea. Since then, he has never stepped out of this small island.Most of his teachings for more than ten years were completed on that uninhabited island.

When he went, he immediately saw the simple hut, the master, as usual, fishing with a fishing rod.His appearance is still as handsome as before, but his eyes are stained with endless vicissitudes and exhaustion. His appearance has not faded, and what is old is only his soul.

"Master," Shaokang has always held a very respectful attitude towards this mysterious and powerful man in front of him, even though he has already ruled the world.

"Shaokang, are you here?" Yu Jizi nodded, and suddenly said, "Follow me and enter the world of evil shadows."

Shaokang was a little surprised by Yu Jizi's sudden request - all these years ago, Yu Jizi never allowed him to enter the world of evil shadows, this time, why...

Yu Jizi didn't explain, just waved his sleeves and opened the tunnel leading to the world of evil shadows.

Walking and stopping along the corridor, until the surroundings were shrouded in light again, Shaokang couldn't believe his eyes.

Pieces of red flowers on the other side are like bloodstains on the tip of the heart. In the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, there is an exquisite wooden house with gurgling water beside the wooden house and a small wooden bridge across the pond.

The world of evil shadows, unexpectedly, is not a dark place full of powerful demonic energy, but rather, it is like a paradise where no one will be disturbed!

Yu Jizi pushed open the door of the wooden house, revealing the quietly sleeping person in the wooden house.The man's body was surrounded by extremely strong confinement and formations, not even a fly could fly in.

"This is..." Shaokang looked at the sleeping man in shock, he still kept the sun pattern on his forehead, his identity was clearly revealed.

Fifty years ago, Donghuang Taiyi was transformed into the sun during the Youqiong Rebellion, but fell into the East China Sea.

"Only in Donghai Haiyan can I protect his body from being corroded." Yu Jizi said in a low voice, looking at the sleeping man silently, with a look in his eyes that Shaokang had never seen before. With pain that seemed to penetrate deep into the bone marrow.

"Shaokang, I know that you are here this time to invite me out of the mountain, and you are indeed one of my best apprentices, but..." After a long time, Yu Jizi turned his eyes away and looked at him lightly. Shaokang never seemed to care about his status as a king: "But, I promised him at that time that I would learn to fish, cook, and... Live like that alone. This is a promise I once made, and I will never break the promise."

"But master, isn't Donghuang Taiyi..." Shaokang couldn't help frowning as he looked at the body that had obviously lost his soul.

"One day he will wake up, and I will find a way to make him wake up. I can wait for 50 years, so I don't mind waiting another 50 years." Yu Jizi's voice was still indifferent, and at the end, But there was some vibrato faintly.

……

Shaokang left quietly when the last rays of the sun were submerged in the waves of the East Sea, leaving only Yujizi alone, guarding the wooden house that was always bright.

"It's been 50 years, but you still don't want to wake up," Yujizi stared blankly at the man, and suddenly laughed at himself: "If you don't wake up, I'm going to be old! Didn't you promise to teach me how to fish?" Is it? My student has learned it all by himself, but you still haven't woken up!"

"Mo Ji has already given birth to the little prince of Youdu, why don't you even want to take a look at your nephew!"

"It's been so many years, do you still remember me?"

……

"Of course, remember..." A weak voice suddenly sounded.

Yu Jizi trembled slightly, and looked up at the person who was sleeping in countless complex formations.

His eyes, which had been closed tightly for decades, finally opened slowly when he said those words. Those eyes were no longer the golden color that belonged to gods, but the black color that belonged to human beings.

……

50 years of hard work, for this moment.

Yu Jizi finally achieved the last goal in his life - to use the technique of transforming life to revive the person he cares most about.

For so many years, I have been lonely and isolated from the world, and finally at this moment, I got the most satisfactory ending.

Every piece of love will be responded to, just as every piece of persistence will get its due result.Now, as long as he has this other side flower, this person is enough.

Yu Jizi, the wild hero who destroyed half of Xiling City in the past, will one day be lost in legends.

(Finish)
