Immortality: Madam, please stay!

Chapter 304 The Nightmare of the Virgins
Lancang River.

It is a river that runs through most of the imperial state and finally flows into the East China Sea.

now.

On the river, a small boat is going upstream.

An ugly-looking woman wearing sackcloth and with a bloated figure sighed:

"Yu'er, we will arrive at the Imperial City tomorrow. This trip can be considered smooth."

This ugly woman is Su Yuan in disguise.

"Yeah." Su Yu responded lightly.

"What's wrong? You sound unhappy. Is it too tight? How about I let you out to get some fresh air?"

Su Yu ignored Su Yuan's teasing.

"It's okay, but somehow I feel like I missed a great opportunity."

Although Su Yu's research on destiny is not as good as that of cultivators like Tianyan Daomu and Luo Yu who specialize in a certain field, he is definitely one of the best here.

But I don’t know why.

In the trance just now, he vaguely felt that he had missed a supreme opportunity to reach the top overnight.

Su Yuan speculated: "Could it be that some holy place in the imperial city has taken out some kind of rare treasure in order to compete for Linghu Xi?"

"I don't know, I don't understand." Su Yu shook his head.

"But it doesn't matter. It's a great opportunity. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate. I can't force it."

"Um"

Time flies.

It's dusk.

After wandering for a whole day, Su Yu and Su Yuan finally arrived in Yuecheng.

This city is less than a hundred miles away from the imperial city.

Su Yuan suggested:
"Yu'er, it's getting dark. How about we find a place to rest for the night and continue on our journey tomorrow?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"No, just make do with it tonight and rest on the shore."

Su Yu was still worried that unnecessary incidents would occur in crowded places.

No one can be sure whether the elders from the holy places and first-class sects will stay in the city.

"Hehe. Yuecheng is only a hundred miles away from the Imperial City. Who would stay here? Yu'er is being too cautious."

"It is better to be safe than sorry."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

In this way, Su Yuan controlled the oars and docked the boat on the shore.

at the same time.

Luo Yu, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a bamboo hat, carried Tian Yan Dao Mu on his back and entered Yuecheng before it got dark.

This day.

Ever since he flew away from the imperial city, Luo Yu has been making constant travel with the help of post stations.

She always kept her master's words in mind and did not take the water route.

Luo Yu would even deliberately stay away from cities near rivers.

But Yuecheng is a city she cannot avoid.

Before this, Tianyan Daomu had discussed it with Luo Yu.

After leaving Dayan, they will go to the East China Sea to find a secluded island to practice meditation.

I vaguely remember that at that time, Luo Yu was thinking about visiting the fourth and sixth imperial sisters when he passed by the Netherworld Gorge.

One of them is a direct disciple of Holy Mother Bai Shuo, and the other is a registered disciple of Holy Mother Bai Shuo.

A few months ago, Luo Geng and Luo Li were taken to the Netherworld Gorge in the East China Sea to practice by the returning Holy Mother Bai Shuo.

Think of this.

Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Only half a year had passed, but the fate of the nine sisters had already changed.

She gave up her status as the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace and left without saying goodbye.

After leaving the Chiyan Secret Realm, the second princess Luo Qiong went to Zhongzhou with a group of geniuses from the Jixia Academy.

The third princess, Luo Qian, joined Yingyue Palace and went to the holy mountain in the south.

The fourth and sixth princesses, Luo Li and Li Yu, were brought to the Netherworld Gorge in the East China Sea by Mother Saint Bai Shuo.

The fifth sister Luo Mu died suddenly in Prince Xiang's mansion more than 20 days ago, and had already been buried in the Luo's Imperial Mausoleum.

Now, the only ones still left in the imperial city are the seventh sister Luo Shang, who married Su Yu, the young eighth sister Luo Yi, and the ninth sister Luo Cheng.

How could Luo Yu not know how heartbroken her father, who had placed high hopes on her, must be after she suddenly left without saying goodbye.

But she had no choice.

If she insisted on staying, it would only trigger a series of bigger and more tragic tragedies for Dayan. Leaving would instead allow the people of this territory to suffer less from the disasters of war, and the Luo family would be able to take the only way to survive without being exterminated.

unconsciously.

Luo Yu, carrying Tian Yan Dao Mu, had already arrived at an inn in the city.

"I want to book all the top-class rooms."

"Okay, please come this way, distinguished guest." The shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then his old face suddenly broke into a smile.

"No, I can go by myself. I don't need anyone to serve or bother me."

Luo Yu threw down a gold ingot and walked quickly upstairs.

She herself had a very serious physical defect and could not stay with a man for too long, otherwise she would turn into a blood-killing Shura, so she booked the entire top floor in one go.

moment.

When Luo Yu placed Tian Yan Dao Mu on the couch, the latter woke up.

"Master, how do you feel?" Luo Yu cried with joy.

Tianyan Daomu's face looked extremely pale, and her pupils were a little unfocused.

Obviously, this backlash from the Heavenly Dao had severely damaged her soul and holy source.

for a long time.

Tian Yan Dao Mu, who gradually adapted to the surrounding light, slowly sighed:
"It's OK, thank goodness"

Seeing that Tian Yan Dao Mu was frightened, Luo Yu couldn't help but ask:
"Master, what exactly did you calculate?"

Tianyan Daomu shook her head.

How could she have the nerve to speak out about the evil and obscene thing that happened to her.

Originally, she was deducing about Su Yu and Luo Shang, but for some reason, at the moment when she got the secret, she caught a picture among millions of future fragments.

On the tranquil river, a small boat swayed constantly.

She was bound by a strange giant octopus-like monster, which used its disgusting tentacles to bind her limbs and then played with all parts of her body.
Reliving that scene again at this moment, Tian Yan Dao Mu felt terrified.

It's terrible!

Fortunately, it was only a broken fragment of some uncertain time and space in the future, otherwise she would never be able to change her tragic fate of being raped.

Therefore, Tianyan Daomu would certainly not tell Luo Yu about this kind of thing.

But she also had good news for Luo Yu.

"Yu'er, Su Yu is not your biological relative." "That's great."

Luo Yu could finally put his mind at ease after worrying for half a year.

She had great faith in the information that her master had exchanged his life for.

If this is the case, then there is no such thing as Su Yu and the Seventh Princess's marriage being against the will of heaven.

Then, if we deduce further, Dayan's destruction was a predetermined fate, and it was not because the Luo royal family angered the heavens that they brought down the calamity on the earthly world.
At this time, Tian Yan Dao Mu seemed to see what Luo Yu was thinking, and she continued to add:

"Indeed, this catastrophe of Dayan was caused by Su Yu, but I cannot completely blame him. In the previous deduction, I glimpsed a hint of forbidden power. That terrifying existence does not seem to belong to this world.
In addition, I have also calculated that the fate of the Dayan Dragon Vein has come to an end, and even your father may die tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Tianyan Daomu couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Yu already knew this very well.

My father’s lifeline had actually dried up long ago.

The reason why my father was still holding on to his breath was that he still had a glimmer of hope in Su Yu.

Whether it is the future offspring of the Seventh Princess and Su Yu, or the fact that Su Yu himself may be his illegitimate child, both make the father full of confidence in the future of Dayan.

pity.

This ray of fantasy also dissipated like bubbles in the sun when Su Yu's soul exploded in the Chiyan Secret Realm more than 20 days ago.

Coupled with the death of the fifth daughter Luo Mu at the same time, the emperor, who had to see his son die young, was even more heartbroken and depressed.

Perhaps it was the farewell letter I wrote before leaving without saying goodbye that was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Think of this.

In grief, Luo Yu knelt down heavily and kowtowed three times towards the north.

Then, she sobbed and said:
"Father, I am an unfilial son. If possible, I am willing to reshape the will of my ancestors, even if I have to fight and die with the people of Dayan until the last moment.
But the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Since I know the future, it is impossible for me to go against heaven.

Because that would only cause the Luo clan and the people of Dayan to fall into greater dire straits."

"Alas, foolish child." Tian Yan Dao Mu sighed sadly.

She is the person who can best understand Luo Yu's feelings.

Because Luo Yu has been making a choice between his critically ill father and his sisters.

If she chooses to inherit her father's wish and become the Queen of Dayan, then her younger sisters will not be able to escape the fate of following Dayan, this broken ship, into destruction in the future.

Therefore, Luo Yu could only abandon Luo Xuan, who had been living on faith. Only in this way could her imperial sisters avoid the unprovoked disaster of dying together with the overthrow of Dayan.

Luo Yu and Tian Yan Dao Mu knew these words, but they could not explain them directly to Luo Xuan, and could not even hint at them.

It can be said that from the moment Su Wei calculated the dragon vein of Dayan and successfully proposed to Luo Shang for Su Yu, the fortune of Dayan began to dissipate.

At that time, Luo Yu had argued with reason, but unfortunately, Luo Xuan, who was already angry at that time, was not willing to let Su Yu, the rich son-in-law, go easily.
Ugh.
The world is unpredictable but will eventually become certain, life is certain but also unpredictable.

Come on.

Taoist Mother Tianyan has been walking in the world for thousands of years and has seen too many regrets and pity.

Logically, she should have become even more indifferent to the world.

However, her eldest disciple Luo Yu is her destined benefactor. Accompanying such a benefactor and experiencing the baptism of calamity, the Taoist mother Tian Yan will inevitably encounter the wear and tear of the mundane world.

Therefore, at this moment, when she recalls her past, she can't help but feel sad.

However, while Tian Yan Dao Mu was feeling sad, she was always wary of the terrifying giant shadow.

Although she suffered the backlash of the Heavenly Dao and her soul and holy source were damaged, she was not someone that could be provoked by an ordinary being.

So who on earth was that evil spirit that could have manipulated her into such a miserable state despite her countless tricks?
Somewhere in the dark, Tianyan Daomu had a premonition.

She felt that the eerie shadow would eventually become the nightmare of all the saints in Beichuan's cultivation world.

Thinking of this, Tianyan Daomu felt that she needed to contact those terrifying beings in Beichuan who had been hiding in the world for more than a thousand years.

Such an enemy is an invincible scourge to her. She must rely on the power of the Holy Mothers and the ancient methods they master, perhaps to be able to uncover the true identity of the ghost.

It seems that I have to go to Netherworld Gorge to inform Hei Lian and Bai Shuo of the hidden danger first.

The sky gradually turned pale, but it was still dark.

Although the stars were shining brightly last night, today the Imperial State is shrouded in an unspeakable gloom.

Not to mention the cultivators who are already sensitive to the calamities of the great Dao, even ordinary people felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

In Beichuan, the Son of Heaven is not simply a symbol of imperial power, nor is anyone qualified to enjoy this honor just because he is the ruler of a region.

Whenever a new emperor succeeded to the throne, a grand demon-slaying ceremony would be held to honor the Beichuan Heavenly Dao.

After all the ceremonies are completed, the emperor who has been approved by Heaven can wear the dragon robe.

This action implies sharing the immortal blessings and living as long as the heaven!
But if he does not gain the approval of Heaven, he will be a false emperor. Not only will he not receive the blessings bestowed by Heaven, he will also attract resistance from thousands of people.

It is also because of this that even though the Ji family is the actual controller of Southern Xinjiang on the surface, they dare not rise up and declare themselves emperor.

now.

In the heart of the entire imperial state, the oppression hanging over the imperial city is particularly heavy.

When Hua Zixi walked out of the dungeon of the Su Mansion, she found a group of guards kneeling in front of Luo Shang, inviting her to enter the palace.

"Auntie." Luo Shang called timidly.

Luo Shang, who had never felt such a depressing atmosphere, had a confused mind and was a little at a loss.

Her most trusted fifth sister had just passed away, and she no longer had anyone she could talk to.

"Don't be afraid." Hua Zixi smiled.

Maybe it's because I love the person and the dog in him.

In addition, before Su Yu left, he specifically asked Hua Zixi to help take care of his little wife, so she always responded to Luo Shang's requests and took good care of her.

"Let's go." Hua Zixi came to Luo Shang and took her hand, which was sweating from nervousness. "I'll go into the palace with you."

Although Luo Shang couldn't guess why her father would let her enter the palace at this time, Hua Zixi, as the Emperor Wuzong, guessed through the intuition that Luo Xuan's time was up and he was probably going to pass on the throne. (PS: Because the three holy places and Daqian and other six dynasties had an absolute blockade of information, Hua Zixi didn't get the information from Yanzhilou that the six dynasties had sent troops to Dayan and gathered in southern Xinjiang.)
Speechless all the way.

Led by the guards, Luo Shang and Hua Zixi went directly to the Weiyang Palace, where only the emperor was qualified to live.

When she saw Luo Xuan's haggard appearance, Luo Shang immediately knelt down in front of the couch and burst into tears.

"Father, I haven't seen you for just a few days. How come you have become so old?"

Luo Xuan, whose snow-white hair was about to turn wooden, smiled and touched Luo Shang's head, then looked at Hua Zixi not far away.

"Haha. Sorry to have made you laugh, Princess."

Hua Zixi shook her head, "Why not see the Crown Princess?"

Luo Xuan's mouth curled up with bitterness, "Yu'er pursued the immortal way and left yesterday."

"Ah, the eldest princess..." Luo Shang was stunned.

She couldn't believe that the eldest princess who had taken good care of her in her memory and even left her a lucky bag that had to be opened at a critical moment at the funeral of her fifth princess, had left without saying goodbye.

Even Luo Shang clearly remembered the entire conversation between the two at the fifth princess' funeral.

"Big sister, when is the critical moment? Can I open it now?"

"No, Seventh Sister, this is the Book of Destiny that I spent so much effort to create."

"The Book of Destiny. What is written on it? I really want to take a look."

If it were the Luo Shang from the past, she would never dare to talk to Luo Yu like this.

But under Luo Mu's training, Luo Shang no longer had the cowardice she had at the beginning, especially in front of her eldest sister, who was her close blood relative.

"No, although I condensed the Book of Destiny, it can only be opened when the Seventh Princess is most desperate and helpless, so even I don't know what it will bring to you."

'Well, I'll keep it close to me.'

Think of this.

Luo Shang couldn't help but tighten her collar and feel the small treasure bag hidden in her bellyband.
