I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 413 Heartbreak
goodong...

Ripples appeared on the calm water surface, and through the water a dark object could be vaguely seen floating up.

Wow!

The mass broke through the water, splashing water everywhere in an instant.

As the splashing water gradually fell, the object that had just emerged from the water revealed its true appearance.

There were three figures, two large and one small.

Three people were seen struggling in the water and swimming towards the shore. Suddenly, one of the women in Taoist robes sank into the water again.

At this time, a young girl with a young face noticed that the Taoist woman was sinking into the water. She immediately stretched her neck and shouted loudly: "Master Hu, Master Huang Li is sinking."

In fact, when the girl just opened her mouth, a middle-aged man who was also wearing a Taoist robe and had a rough appearance had already sunk to the bottom of the water.

After a while, the man in Taoist robe emerged from the water dragging Master Huang Li.

He looked at the shore not far away, then gritted his teeth and jumped up, while freeing one hand to grab the girl who had popped her head out of the water, and then he took the two of them and jumped to the shore.

Pfft!
As soon as his feet touched the shore, Crouching Tiger Master could no longer hold on, and his body limply fell to the ground.

Zhenren Huang Li, who was held in the arms, also fell to the ground and rolled on the shore. Just as he was about to roll back into the water, the wet girl appeared in time and pressed him to the shore.

The girl seemed to have used up the last of her strength to make this move. She glanced at Master Huang Li's body which had stopped moving, then fell on her back, looking at the moonlit night sky with bright stars, breathing heavily.

Until she gradually regained her strength, she stared at the night sky infatuatedly and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice: "It's so beautiful!"

This girl is the carrier of the elixir of immortality, Tianxiang!

While Tianxiang was admiring the night sky, Master Wohu had also recovered some strength. He struggled to stand up, first came up and carried Master Huangli away from the water, and then took his pulse and checked it carefully. His eyes visibly darkened.

After a moment of silence, Crouching Tiger Master suddenly turned his head to look at Tianxiang who was admiring the night sky, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Why... did you lie to us?"

Crouching Tiger Master's voice was low, and one could tell that he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

Tianxiang still stared blankly at the night sky, and then replied weakly: "I don't want to stay in that dark underground palace for the rest of my life. Look... the moonlight and the starry sky are so beautiful!"

As she spoke, she raised her slender finger and pointed at the full moon hanging high in the night sky.

Upon hearing this, Master Crouching Tiger could not help but look up at the sky. When his gaze fell on the full moon, a deep light suddenly appeared in his pupils.

It is winter now, and such a full moon is indeed rare.

but……

Master Crouching Tiger stood up and walked slowly towards Tianxiang. His hands, which were hanging by his sides, had already been clenched into fists, and his five fingers were snapping.

Whatever the reason, Tianxiang's actions deceived them.

The girl in front of him was actually the boy and girl that the Emperor of Qin had prepared for his enlightenment and ascension!

They thought that a wisp of the power of the Nine Cauldrons entered the body of the Great Qin Emperor at that time, which led to the current immortal body of the Emperor that has lasted for thousands of years.

But the one who truly accepted the power of the Nine Cauldrons back then was Tianxiang!

The Great Qin Emperor made full preparations for his own enlightenment and ascension. He even imitated the characters in mythology and carefully selected a pair of boys and girls for himself from countless children across the country, intending to take them to ascend to heaven together, and then have them serve him when he attained enlightenment and became an immortal.

Tianxiang was the virgin who was offered up.

She was not born into a poor family, but into a prominent family in the Qin Dynasty. Her parents and even ancestors had made great contributions to the unification of the nine provinces by the Qin Dynasty.

That is why she was given the honor of being a virgin.

Among the Qin's upper class nobles, it was no secret that the Emperor of Heaven wanted to become an immortal.

Although some people think that this is a wishful thinking that goes against the laws of nature and human ethics and is impossible to achieve.

But the vast majority of people still chose to believe in the Emperor of Heaven, just as they had followed the Emperor of Heaven in unifying the nine provinces.

Tianxiang will never forget that day when her parents personally dressed her up in gorgeous clothes that she had never seen before, and the jewelry she wore was even more luxurious than those worn by the Emperor's concubines.

Then, she was taken away from home by the personal guard who was most loyal to the Emperor of Heaven, most admired by the women of Qin, and feared by the people of the other countries in Kyushu.

But it was not until she arrived at the underground palace that Tianxiang realized that she had been chosen to become a boy and girl beside the Emperor of Heaven.

As for the other boy, he arrived a few days earlier than Tianxiang and was said to be the child of a frontier general most favored by the Emperor of Heaven.

So when Tianxiang saw her companion, he had already completed the ceremony and was sitting on a vessel similar to a candlestick. Although his eyes were open, there was no light in them.

When Tianxiang went forward to take a look, she was frightened by the vines stirring in its belly!

When she staggered back in fear and was about to fall, a pair of warm and strong hands supported her back in time.

The person who was pressing against her body was also gently telling her in her ear that the boy in front of him had already become a part of the "Immortal Palace". Soon, he would ascend to heaven with the Immortal Palace, and then everything in the Immortal Palace would share his immortality!
Tianxiang knew that the person behind him was the Emperor of Heaven, a god-like existence in the eyes of the Qin people!

after that……

Tianxiang's eyes gradually became dazed.

She had forgotten many things, she only knew that she later sat on a vessel that looked like a candlestick, and not far away was the boy who had become like a sculpture.

My memories after that have been sporadic.

What impressed her most was one time when the hysterical roar of the Emperor of Heaven kept echoing in her ears. It was completely different from his previous gentleness and kindness. Even Tianxiang, who was in a daze, felt genuine fear.

But fortunately, the roar did not last long and everything returned to silence.

During that time, Tianxiang was even a little bored. She kept thinking about the Emperor's promise in her mind, and thinking about what she should do after she gained eternal life, and whether she would be able to see her father and mother again at that time...

As a result, she was discovered by someone who broke into the mausoleum after an unknown period of time.

It was also at that time that she learned that the Emperor of Heaven had been dead for thousands of years, and she had actually spent thousands of years in the mausoleum!

……

A sharp pain interrupted Tianxiang's memories. A look of pain appeared on her face, and then she turned her head to look at Crouching Tiger Master who was holding her wrist tightly!
"If it weren't for you, Senior Brother Bai He wouldn't have died!" Wo Hu Zhenren looked at Tian Xiang with complicated eyes, and then said word by word, "Junior Sister Huang Li wouldn't have fallen into this situation."

The more Crouching Tiger Master spoke, the stronger the power in his hands became.

"It hurts!" Tianxiang couldn't help but cry out in pain, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

When Crouching Tiger Master saw this, a look of pity flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of his senior brother who was buried in the underground palace and his junior sister whose life or death was unknown, he gritted his teeth and did not reduce the strength in his hands at all.

"You are wrong." Suddenly, these words floated into the ears of Crouching Tiger Master.

Crouching Tiger Master's face changed. He let go of Tianxiang's hand, stood up, and then looked around with a frown, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? How can you be called a hero if you hide your head and show your tail!"

"I'm not a good man." The voice came again.

Following the sound, Crouching Tiger Master turned around suddenly, but there was nothing in front of him, without a trace of anyone.

But just as he was about to turn around, his body suddenly stiffened, and then his pupils trembled slightly and moved back. In his peripheral vision, a slender and familiar figure suddenly appeared.

Liu Qi!

A name suddenly popped up in Crouching Tiger Master's mind.

Liu Qi lowered his eyes to glance at Tianxiang who was lying on the ground with her back facing up, then raised his head and said to Wohu Zhenren who had his back to him, "Maybe Tianxiang lied to you, but regardless of whether she lied to you or not, your fate has already been determined."

"In fact... you should thank her." Liu Qi said calmly, "If it weren't for her, the two of you would probably have been buried in the underground palace."

"Liu Qi...what do you want to do?" Master Crouching Tiger turned around and asked in a deep voice, suppressing his trembling.

Liu Qi: "Of course I'm not here to see you."

As Liu Qi spoke, he glanced at Master Huang Li, whose life or death was unknown, and then walked over.

"Stop!" Upon seeing this, Crouching Tiger Immortal's face changed drastically. He was about to step forward to stop him, but a strong wind suddenly arose in front of him, forcing him to retreat again and again. He could only watch Liu Qi walk in front of Huang Li Immortal.

Master Huang Li's breathing was steady and his body was full of vitality, seemingly fine, but his aura was extremely weak and intermittent, and his internal energy was also disordered.

This was the first time Liu Qi had ever seen such a situation, but the root cause was not difficult to guess.

The top masters have already achieved a high degree of unity among form, energy and mind.

When ordinary people are sad and upset, at most they suffer from depression and a small impact on their physical condition.

But when a top master is sad, it will affect the circulation of his own qi, which will further affect the functions of his body.

As for the state of knowing the subtle, it is already a state where one thought gives birth and one thought dies. As long as the thought of death flashes through the mind for a moment, the vitality in the body will dissipate the moment the thought of death arises.

So the reason why Master Huang Li was unconscious was not because her body was seriously injured, but because her "heart" was hurt.

But who broke her heart?

How did he break her heart?
Liu Qi thought about it, then walked away from Master Huang Li and returned to Tian Xiang's side.

Tianxiang had already sat up. Seeing Liu Qi approaching, she immediately raised her head and smiled sweetly at her: "Sister Liu Qi."

"No, in terms of age, you are more than old enough to be my ancestor." Liu Qi replied, and at the same time muttered in his heart, why do these old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years appear around him all the time!

Tianxiang smiled when she heard this, then lowered her head and the smile on her face gradually faded. She then said in a low voice, "Are you here to kill me, sister?"

Liu Qi looked at Tian Xiang's desolate figure and said softly, "The sacred tree supporting the underground palace has been destroyed by me. There is no sacred tree to replenish your vitality..."

Liu Qi paused, then continued: "I had already killed you before I came here."

Tianxiang raised her head, the gloom on her face completely faded away, her smiling eyes looked directly into Liu Qi's eyes, and then she smiled and replied: "Sister Liu is indeed worthy of her reputation, the sacred tree is hidden so deeply, but you can still catch it!"

Liu Qi shook his head and said frankly: "Without Jiang Xuanyun's Jue Ling Qi, I would not be able to do this."

When he heard Liu Qi mention Jiang Xuanyun, the expression of Crouching Tiger Master beside him suddenly changed.

Liu Qi suddenly turned to Crouching Tiger Master and asked, "The Qingcheng Sect and the Beggars' Sect have a close relationship. Haven't you noticed anything strange about Gu Liancheng?"

Upon hearing this, Crouching Tiger fell into deep thought, and then said bluntly: "Boss Gu was indeed a little... weird before, but that was after the general came to Junshan."

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's weird?"

Crouching Tiger Master pondered for a moment, and then said: "It is said that he seems to have lost his mind. For this reason, the Beggars' Sect has secretly sent people to Qingcheng many times to ask for medicine."

"Insane?" Liu Qi frowned and asked, "How can a top master go insane?"

Crouching Tiger Master shook his head: "I didn't believe it at first, but the head brother and the eldest brother went to see him, and finally came to the same conclusion that Gu Liancheng was indeed crazy. It was only later that with the help of my Qingcheng Magic Pill, his condition improved a little..."

Liu Qi lowered his head, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, Liu Qi suddenly asked Tian Xiang, "Are you willing to come with me?"

Tianxiang nodded: "Yes."

"Wait!" Just as Crouching Tiger Master uttered two words, a green light flashed before his eyes, and then Liu Qi and Tianxiang disappeared.

Crouching Tiger Master stood there in a daze until he heard a moan in his ears.

True Man Crouching Tiger turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw True Man Huang Li's body seemed to twist slightly. He was immediately overjoyed and forgot about Liu Qi and Tian Xiang.

……

Three days later.

Zhenren Crouching Tiger and Zhenren Huangli appeared on the official road leading to Qingcheng and stopped at a teahouse at the intersection.

Master Huang Li's face was pale but his expression was solemn. He did not utter a word from the time he got off his horse to the time he walked to the table and sat down. He just stared at the ground below him and did not even glance at Master Wo Hu who was traveling with him.

Master Crouching Tiger seemed to have gotten used to it. He asked the teahouse owner for food and water, then sat down opposite Master Huang Li.

When he sat down, he couldn't help but look at the end of the road, and then a faint joy appeared on his face: "In three days, I can return to the sect!"

Unexpectedly, the face of Huang Li Zhenren opposite him suddenly changed drastically, and then he stood up suddenly, saying repeatedly: "No, we can't go back to Qingcheng, we won't go back to Qingcheng!"

Just then, a horseman came from a distance, covered in dust.

When the leader heard the word "Qingcheng" from Master Huang Li, he immediately stopped his horse, then he jumped off the horse with his feet and came to the table of the two people in a flash.

Just as he was about to stand up to appease Huang Li, Wo Hu Zhenren felt a strong wind blowing past his face. Then, a person suddenly appeared beside the table. He immediately urged his true energy and looked at him vigilantly: "Who are you?"

The visitor smiled and bowed to Crouching Tiger Master, "You must be Senior Brother Crouching Tiger from Qingcheng, right? I haven't seen you for many years, but you haven't changed much."

Crouching Tiger Master stared at the newcomer with a serious look in his eyes. After a moment, he said uncertainly, "Are you... Xiu Shaoyang, the owner of Xiu Tower?"

Xiu Shaoyang clasped his fists and nodded, saying: "It is Xiu!"
