Chapter 1572: A Dream for You

Grandma Wushan's breath was surging, her brows were furrowed, her face was cold, and her eyes seemed to be hiding a tremendous rage, a dark and heavy burning in her eyes.

She was silent for a long time, and then she said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't ask you to do these things. I gave you these protective magic weapons to protect you, not to let you set up a trap to frame others."

Wu Fan was covered in blood and half disabled, but he didn't care. He looked at her steadily, "I have followed grandma for so many years, and I have been able to figure out your intentions. Grandma wanted to kill the corpse demon hostage, but due to your status, you were not able to do it. Everyone can see that the only servant of the Queen has an extraordinary position in her heart.

Now that I have solved this problem for grandma, even if the Queen Mother Junhuang wants to hold her accountable, grandma can just hand me over."

"Hand you over?" The eyelids of Grandma Wushan twitched. She raised her cold eyes and said, "So in your heart, the life I have protected with so many magic weapons is actually so worthless..."

Then she smiled coldly and said, "Who said that a mortal with a life as short as a mayfly is more valuable than a corpse demon who has to die? I never asked you to do these things, so why do you think his life is worth yours?"

Wu Fan looked at the Wushan Granny in such a state, and his face was flustered, but in his heart he was inexplicably terrified.

Although he knew that Grandma Wushan treated each of them sincerely, a person's sincerity was limited after all. A heart is only so big, and even if it is broken into countless petals, the amount of money that can be shared among each person is still limited.

But the corpse demon proton is different. They are both servants of the king, and he and Xu Kun are both among the many favorites of grandma.

How can it not be worthwhile to exchange one for the only one?

But seeing the serious look on Grandma Wushan's face today, Wu Fan felt as if he had done something terribly wrong. He was at a loss and said, "I... I don't know, Grandma... I didn't expect that I could..."

Obviously, he was the one covered in scars, but he felt that his rash behavior without consulting her had hurt her feelings.

In his anxiety, his blood was boiling, and an intense and unhealthy flush appeared on Wu Fan's face. He was eager to explain, but when he opened his mouth he let out a "Wow!" and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, which splashed all over the back of her hand, and the pills and elixirs pinched by her fingertips were also stained with blood.

Xu Kun, who was watching from the side, was extremely anxious, and finally could not help but said in anger: "Why are you being so awkward?! Do you think being a short-lived ghost is great? The life of a short-lived ghost is not a life, so you can just mess with it like this? In Wushan, among our brothers, who doesn't live past 20 years old? Who is as sad as you? The more so, shouldn't we be more compassionate to the person in front of us and fight for every day?"

Grandma Wushan wiped the bloody pill in her hand carefully before feeding it to him again. She said in a low voice, "Walk through the snow to find plum blossoms, look back to the end of the sky, spend my floating life to help you live out your dream, only you can be my good man, your heart is a rough jade, which can be carved and polished. I have come here to find you, not to ask you to join the game and scheme."

Wu Fan opened his mouth with a dull look and let her feed him the medicine.

Grandma Wushan's palm stroked the wounds on his body inch by inch. As the light green spiritual power flowed in her palm, he felt the coolness seeping into his body inch by inch. The wounds that were torn and bitten by the monsters and ghosts began to grow new flesh quickly under the nourishment of the magical spiritual power, and were completely repaired.

But in the blink of an eye, his breath calmed down, the scars on his body disappeared, and even the half-eaten palm was restored to its original shape.

Apart from the fact that his complexion was slightly pale due to excessive blood loss, there was nothing else unusual.

On the contrary, after Grandma Wushan withdrew the spiritual light from her palms, her already old face suddenly looked even more haggard and tired.

"Grandma..." Wu Fan pursed his lips, and a feeling of guilt immediately came over him.

He knew that the ancient fairies from the Great Wilderness Era had gradually disappeared in the long river of history, especially the foreign fairies like Kunlun Goddess and Wushan Grandma, who were actually treated differently in the favor of Heaven.

It is rare for such ancient fairies like them to remain in the world. Even the Queen Mother, who controls the Kunlun Mountains and the world, is about to face her calamity, not to mention the Grandmother Wushan who lives in a remote corner and is forgotten by the Heaven.

There is nothing eternal and immortal in the world, not even the Emperor of Heaven. It is a natural law of reincarnation, where the old emperor dies and the new one is born.

How can the Wushan Avenue be allowed to last forever?

Grandma's face has aged, her spiritual power has declined, and this is a sign that her end is near.

It’s just that the calamity between her and Empress Junhuang is manifesting itself in different ways.

Over the years, grandma has done everything by herself. She would never ride the wind or clouds if she could walk, and she tries to save her spiritual energy as much as possible just to prolong her life.

The pills that nourish her spiritual power are also hard to come by. Wushan has not had any contact with the fairy world for many years, and the precious pills in Wushan's treasury were refined by her old friend.

My old friend has passed away, and these pills will become one less each time I take them.

However, when he got into trouble, he still used it on him without hesitation, even using his spiritual power, which he saved the most on a normal day, without any regret.

  How can a mortal's body be more valuable than hers?

Wushan Grandma didn't care about the loss of her own spiritual power. She looked at Wu Fan calmly and said, "Do you really think you are so smart? That kid was able to get to this point in Kunlun Mountain as a corpse demon, a public enemy of the six realms. Do you think it was just luck?"

Wu Fan was shocked and said, "Grandma, what you mean is that Si Chen accidentally entered the forbidden land of Youtu Demon City, and he still had a chance to survive? But wasn't his cultivation sealed? The ghost mastiff and ghost dog there are powerful enough to tear everything apart. Even if he is a corpse demon, he can't escape unscathed."

Although he was shocked, since the Wushan Grandma said so, he had already concluded that the boy was most likely safe and sound in the mountains.

But after going through all this, for some reason, he did not feel disappointed.

Looking at the gray-haired and pale Wushan Granny in front of him, he knew that he had already obtained something more precious.

Since she hopes to be a good man and a rough diamond, he will no longer get involved in these conspiracies.

So even though he paid a price and did not end up with Si Chen dying at Qiyun Peak, it didn't matter whether he was willing or not.

Wushan Granny said: "This boy was able to survive in the mountains for such a long time, simply because he did not want to die, and someone else did not want him to die either. He was not dead before, and today he will not be killed easily by your calculations. If he is really that easy to kill..."

She glanced at him lightly and said, "I would have taken this boy's life a long time ago. Why do I need you to worry about this for me?"

Hearing this, Wu Fan's face turned red and he lowered his head in shame.

Grandma Wushan said, "A storm is coming to Kunlun Mountain. Qingao has sealed off all the mountains with his sword, and it seems that he intends to exterminate all the creatures in the mountain. At the moment, there is no need to focus on that kid. You two should be careful these few days. If Kunlun Mountain becomes chaotic, I can't even protect myself, let alone you two."

The green-clothed boy squatting on the ground collecting teacups chuckled, but he was not worried at all, and said: "Grandma has protected us all our lives. If that day really comes, we will take care of her in turn."

His words, which were beyond his capabilities, did not draw any sneers or ridicule from Wushan Granny. She looked at him with a slightly strange expression and said, "I brought the two of you to this mountain to fight Kunlun for a momentary dispute, but in the end I forced myself into such a desperate situation, causing the two of you to follow me into disaster. Have you ever been angry or resentful towards me?"

Wu Fan smiled and said, "If it weren't for grandma's pity, we would have died among the refugees and beggars, and we wouldn't have been able to become the young master we are today. Even if grandma asked us two to help you avoid disasters and calamities, we two brothers would never complain."

The green-clad young man Xu Kun nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "I am willing to go against the norm for grandma, and I will never regret it even if I die. Although it is a pity that I can't grow old with grandma like those brothers, but the rise and fall are inevitable, and the gains and losses are hard to measure. If the ending is really like this, it may not be a blessing." Grandma Wushan was stunned for a moment, and her emotions surged in her chest, but soon she calmed down. She smiled lightly and said: "I knew that most of you are like this. No matter how many years have passed, it is still the same. So no matter what I do, I can be so willful, right?"

When the two young men heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

……

……

The attempt to obtain the saliva of the divine bird on the Qiyun Peak failed after all. Wu Fan's cough became worse. Even though he had many spiritual weapons and magical treasures, and could still withstand the snow and cold in the mountains, his body obviously became weaker under the increasingly strong and awe-inspiring sword energy among the hundred thousand mountains.

Just as the Wushan Grandma said, Bailian's life did not remain in the dark earth demon city. No one had expected that the empress, who had been in seclusion for a long time, would come out for him and come in person to rescue him from the forbidden land.

Afterwards, the Empress did not pursue the matter.

On the contrary, Qing Xuan, the female official in charge of the Imperial Seals, could not tolerate the people from outside the mountain who were plotting against her in Kunlun Mountain. She came with great authority and demanded that the Grandmother Wushan hand over Wu Fan and accept punishment.

Wu Fan didn't mind being punished. Naturally, he had to bear the consequences of the trouble he had caused.

But I don’t know how Grandma Wushan negotiated with Qingxuan, and she was able to force back this principled female official of the Ministry of Seals.

The situation in the mountains became increasingly serious.

If it was said that the sword sealed the Kunlun Realm with the intention of stopping the female official Qing Xuan from breaking the rules of the six realms, then it would make sense.

But when everything was settled, Master Qingao still had no intention of withdrawing the sword formation. Instead, he seemed to be intending to trap and kill all the living creatures in the mountain.

The news from the outside world was completely cut off. The immortals were puzzled for many days, but no one from the immortal world came to solve the problem.

As time goes by, this doubt will naturally gradually develop into a feeling of uneasiness and fear of the unknown.

What is even more disturbing is that the attitudes of the followers of the True Immortal Sect in the Mountains are also beginning to become strange.

There are many provocations and fights against the immortal visitors from outside the mountains.

They are clearly from the same fairyland, but for some reason, they harbor a strong hostility towards disciples other than those of the True Immortal Sect.

The atmosphere of a war is getting heavier.

However, at this time, a piece of good news came from the Kunlun Mountain Water Temple.

It is said to be a happy event, but it is also a ridiculous thing.

  The emperor takes advantage of the depression to marry a new empress?

When this news came out, not only did it cause a sensation in the entire Kunlun Jingxu and those visitors from other mountains, even when True Man Qingao heard the news, he was stunned for three full breaths before he realized that such a bizarre thing was really instructed by Emperor Jun Chenghuang.

There have always been many romantic stories about Jun Huang Chenghuang.

But this kind of blatant granting of status and taking of a concubine as a concubine was the first time since ancient times.

As for the immortal officials and people of the water god clan, the Junhuang clan, have moved to Kunlun Jingxu since the marriage between Junhuang and Kunlun.

When the king gets married, it is naturally impossible for the demons and fairies in Kunlun Mountain, as well as the female officials of Kunlun such as the one in charge of seals and clothing, to perform the wedding etiquette themselves.

Therefore, those who were responsible for the grand ceremony were naturally the immortal ceremonial officials of the water god clan.

The identity of the new celestial concubine was also very strange.

A hundred miles southwest of the Water God Temple, hidden among the small peaks of Yeshan Mountain, there is a Taoist temple named "Heyan Temple".

The master of this temple is named Gu Wei, who was born into a family of immortals. His father's clan is a rain master, and they have a close relationship with the water god clan of Junhuang Chenghuang.

However, the lineage of Rain Master has been cursed by the demons since the battle between immortals and demons. The lineage has been dying out and only one person has been passed down. They are born with bad luck and have lost all six of their connections. They are destined to be lonely and have a bad end.

Gu Ai was weak and sickly since birth and had a hard time surviving. As a descendant of the Rain Master, the Immortal Lord Zhu Zhan felt sorry for the fact that she was the only orphan left in his clan, so he changed the name of Gu Ai into the Water God lineage.

When the two worlds united, they were brought into the Kunlun Pure Ruins together.

The power of heaven and earth in Kunlun Jingxu has the power to suppress and purify the demon curse, and the spiritual power in the mountains can also help her recuperate and maintain her atrophied immortal veins and bones.

And Cangnanyi was never stingy. If she needed anything, she could take any elixir from the Kunlun Medicine Garden.

Gu Yi is a handsome man, and if things go on like this, Emperor Jun Chenghuang will naturally become impatient and have to get entangled with him.

Therefore, such a story, in the eyes of outsiders who were not aware of the situation, seemed like the Empress had a fire in the backyard and had invited thieves into the house.

Gu Yi had been raised by Jun Huang Cheng Huang since he was a child, and he had an almost dependent feeling towards him. He had no relatives or old friends in the mountains, and he was weak and seriously ill. Jun Huang Cheng Huang took good care of him day and night and responded to everything he did.

Jun Huang Chenghuang is a romantic man and is very good at dealing with women.

Gu Yi, who had never experienced anything, was in his youth, at the age of a flower, when he was ready to give everything for love.

How do we know what can be done and what principles cannot be broken?

As time went by, the secret between the two became a topic of conversation among outsiders and spread slowly in the mountains, along with the bad reputation that the queen was not strict with her husband and that this damaged her dignity.

Gu Yi realized it later and realized that he had done such an ungrateful and treasonous act. He was also a rare sober person among the many women in Jun Huang Chenghuang's life who did not completely sink into love and lose himself.

She immediately felt remorse and ashamed, feeling that she had let the empress down, so she shaved her head and became a nun, never entering the secular world again, and clearing all ties with the emperor.
