Jiaochu

Chapter 546 Finale ()

Yan Fei felt his body lighten, his feet left the ground, and he was dragged into the vortex by a strong suction force just like before. While he was dizzy, he felt someone grabbing his hand...

After the dizziness stopped, he opened his eyes and found himself standing outside a yard. There were sounds of piano playing and gun shooting from inside. He forgot how he got there. His attention was attracted by the sound of the piano. It felt extremely familiar, as if he had heard it before, but before there was a bit more nostalgia and sadness, not as comfortable and open as now. Listening to the sound of the piano, it was as if a free and easy picture of "the sky is high and the birds fly freely, the sea is wide and the fish leap freely" appeared before his eyes.

Following the sound of the piano, he slowly walked to the door and saw the tree in the yard. He recognized it as the yard where his mother lived before. He lived here when he was a child. Every summer, the tree would bloom feather fan-like flowers. In the evening, he would do horse stance under the tree. Now he saw his mother sitting under the tree playing the piano, and his father was playing with a gun next to her. Looking at that figure, he suddenly felt confused for a moment, wondering if this person was really his father. The next moment, memories came to his mind. He remembered that his father had gone to war with his grandfather before, and had just returned from a victory not long ago. He just got home yesterday.

"Fei'er is back."

Su Hui smiled and stood up and walked towards him, asking him if he was tired and asking him to go back to the room and rest for a while. He was confused for a moment, but then he remembered that he had entered the Shangshu Room to accompany his studies. Thinking of the Shangshu Room, his mind suddenly hurt, as if he was pricked by a needle. He clearly remembered everyone, but had a feeling of incompleteness, as if he had forgotten someone. He tried hard to recall, but his thoughts were interrupted by a red tasseled spear thrown at him.

He stretched out his hand to catch it. Yan Hai walked over with a smile and said that she wanted to test whether his spear skills had improved. Su Hui smiled and glared at Yan Hai, saying that they should eat first. Yan Hai said that she would test his skills after dinner. Su Hui told him not to pay attention to his father and took him into the house first. He turned around and threw the red tassel spear back to his father, made a naughty face, turned his head and turned back into a filial and well-behaved look, and secretly told his mother that she would interrogate his father later to see if he was having an affair outside.

Yan Hai chased up to him from behind and asked him, "What bad things are you saying about me again?" He made a face again and ran into the house. The smile on his face was brighter than the spring sunshine in March.

The days that followed were warm and fulfilling. He went to Shangshufang to study during the day, and after returning home, he would practice swordplay with his father, or sit next to his mother and listen to her playing the zither, and then each of them would make a few vulgar comments, such as "good to listen to" or "wonderful". During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family of three would sit in the yard to enjoy the moon and drink. The loser would drink three cups as punishment. In the end, his mother would win. He and his father were both drunk and laughed, like brothers.

……

Yan Fei's smiling face appeared in the mirror, with his eyes closed, as if he was having a sweet dream. His whole body was suspended in the mirror, as if he was sucked into it.

Huangquan Mirror, this is one of the three things Ye Qingran brought.

The first item was the mermaid pearl in his hand, which was given to him by Ye Lingxi many years ago.

The second item is a treasure map.

The third item was the ancient mirror in the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, which was the legendary Yellow Spring Mirror. When Ye Qingran went to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau to borrow treasures, Shangguan Yuan was in seclusion again. Before he went into seclusion, he wrapped the ancient mirror with cloth and put it in a box, and told Zhu Xingguan that if anyone came to borrow treasures in the future, he should give the box to them. When Ye Qingran explained his intention, Zhu Xingguan handed the box to him.

The round mirror was hanging above the heads of the three people, just like the round mirror held by the mermaid on the door. A circle of people was suspended around the round mirror, and they all seemed to be sleeping, without any movement. Ye Qingran, the Empress Dowager, Yan Lianjue, Li Chengyuan and Yan Miao were among them. The other two were blindfolded with black cloth, so they were not hit by the bright light from the round mirror on the door.

Although the two men were blindfolded, one could tell from their figures that one of them was the King of Pingnan and the other was a little girl.

She asked who the little girl was, but Xia Yuan talked about the seven treasure maps.

"I see you didn't use the treasure map, is it just a cover?" she said. Xia Yuan said, "The important thing is not the treasure map, but the people." He looked at the seven people floating around the Yellow Spring Mirror, "At the beginning, the treasure map was given to each of the seven kings. Only the blood of the seven kings can awaken the Yellow Spring Mirror." She looked at the seven people and said, "Are you saying that they are the descendants of the seven kings?" He nodded, took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to Murong Ze, saying, "Now it's time for you to repay your gratitude."

Murong Ze took the dagger, smiled at her as if saying goodbye, then pulled up his sleeves to reveal the shark-blue mark on his wrist. He cut the mark with the dagger, and the flowing blood was immediately sucked into the mirror above his head. At the same time, the mirror began to absorb the souls of the seven people, and their faces gradually turned pale.

Murong Ze's already pale face was almost transparent. The blood flowing from his wrist was continuously absorbed into the mirror. His hair also began to turn white. His gradually dilating pupils gathered the last bit of focus and looked at her. He smiled and said, "I'm almost dead, why don't you cry? After all, we are husband and wife. Crying a few tears can be regarded as a farewell to me."

She moved her lips slightly but said nothing.

Even if he spoke, he couldn't hear it clearly. In a trance, he felt himself falling down, and saw a gentle and blurry face. A gentle voice was calling him, saying that it was his mother who came to pick him up. He saw another gentle face, which was clearer. It was his mother.

Outsiders all thought that he was born to the second princess, but in fact his biological mother was just a concubine. He only told this secret to Ye Lingxi. He could no longer remember what his biological mother looked like, and his mother died of illness when he was very young.

When he was seven years old, Murong Min lied to him that there was a magical tree deep in the ice field that could fulfill any wish. He believed it and ran to the ice field alone to find the magical tree.

He ran for a long, long time, but finally he couldn't run anymore. He walked for a long, long time, but finally he couldn't walk anymore.

He was lost in the vast ice field, it was dark, he was cold and hungry alone, fear and terror swept over him. He was afraid that he would die here, but when he thought that he would be able to see his mother after death, he felt less afraid.

At this time, he saw a blue light flashing in front of him. He felt that it was the sacred tree guiding him. He walked towards the light without feeling tired at all. Finally, he jogged. When he saw the glittering blue willow, he thought to himself that Sister Wang had not lied to him.

He walked over and wanted to make a wish in front of the sacred tree to ask for his mother to come back, but he missed a step and fell into an ice hole.

The freezing cold water poured into his chest. He couldn't breathe, and his consciousness gradually faded. In a trance, he saw a ball of blue light swimming towards him, getting closer and closer. There was a phantom wrapped in the blue light, which looked like a person, but also like a fish. Its ice-blue hair floated in the water like smoke, and its tail was extremely beautiful, like a blooming ice-blue lotus...

When he woke up again, he found himself lying under the blue willow, with a man in white in front of him. He asked who the man was, and the man replied that he was his benefactor and he should not forget to repay him in the future.

The other party sent him back to the palace. Seven days later, a shark blue mark appeared on his wrist and he fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he could not walk and could only sit in a wheelchair. The other party taught him a set of mental skills and said that his legs would get better in ten years.

He knew he was a pawn, and his life in this icy place was not very fun. Later, he went to the capital on a whim, but he met her, a little rose with thorns, and he felt fun being pricked. Since he was seven years old, he had not had much joy in his life, but during the three months he spent with her in the North, he would smile more or less every day.

If she had known this would be the outcome, would she have treated herself better?
