Want to buy osmanthus (3)
Tang Xixu saw that the person coming was the elder of Ningzhou, and it was he who taught Tang Xixu the witchcraft.
"What are you doing here? You know how strong I am now. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with one palm?" Tang Xixu said coldly.
Elder Xuan was wearing a robe embroidered with black and gold patterns. The patterns on the clothes looked like wriggling worms.
"You won't kill me. I can bring the queen back to life." The voice like dead branches and fallen leaves echoed in the bedroom.
Tang Xixu's excitement calmed down.
"Ningzhou has an ancient method called: Resurrection."
"Your Majesty must implant a shadow worm and feed it with your heart's blood. After 49 days, take the secret medicine I have prepared and then feed your heart's blood to the Queen. She will then awaken."
Pei Yuanchi looked serious. He looked at Tang Xixu, and the young emperor did not hesitate at all.
"Where's the Shadow Bug?"
Elder Xuan secretly raised the corners of his lips.
A stone suddenly flew over and knocked over the brocade box.
The little black bugs scattered in all directions as if they were fleeing.
"Tang Xixu! Are you crazy?" Zhao Mingchang no longer used the respectful title, but called him by his name.
"I'm crazy! I've been crazy for a long time!" Tang Xixu roared, without any imperial dignity.
"She is not dead, she is gone, leaving me alone. She would rather endure the pain of thousands of swords piercing her heart than not leave." The young man's pupils lost focus and he murmured softly.
Xu Ning loved red the most during her lifetime, and she particularly loved Tangxixu wearing red clothes. In her words, "Red is festive, and wearing more red will bring good luck."
So the red silk in the imperial city has not been removed to this day.
The red does not float in the wind, it does not seem like a celebration of a happy marriage, but more like the tears of the newlyweds.
Tang Xixu looked at Xu Ning's face, thinking about something.
If the price of revenge is to lose his loved one forever, he will definitely give up.
Keep moving forward and don't look back. Dad, why did Yin Zhao only understand now? Yin Zhao really regrets it.
Tang Xixu often visited Mo Wenqing these days and talked a lot.
"Three years ago at Qujiazhuang, she asked me to stand by you, support you, and help you no matter what. But what about you? You're depressed all day, refusing to eat, drink, sleep, or rest. Xu Ning is watching you from heaven, and she definitely won't be at peace."
It was only after Xu Ning's death that Zhao Mingshang understood the meaning of her words.
Tang Xixu seemed to have caught a wisp of Xu Ning's soul and looked at Zhao Mingchang expectantly: "What else did she say to you?"
Zhao Mingshang didn't say anything for a long time.
"That's all. That's all."
The young man sat casually on the ground, with something covering his eyes, obscuring his bright eyes.
"snort."
After a moment of silence, he said, "Give me the shadow bug."
Tang Xixu stood up, his eyes trembling, and glanced at the two people behind him: "Whoever tries to stop me, I will kill him."
Tang Xixu didn't care whether Elder Xuan lied to him or not. He just wanted to use this only chance to give it a try.
There were six or seven shadow insects, which penetrated into Tang Xixu's body one after another. The veins on the young man's temples bulged, his fists clenched, and he felt like an ant gnawing at his heart.
Later, in order to save Xu Ning, Tang Xixu carried out large-scale construction and built many Taoist temples and altars, which caused many ministers in the court to angrily scold him for ignoring state affairs, neglecting the imperial cause, and wasting people's money and resources.
Taxes have recently been increased, and the people are living in misery.
Tang Xixu didn't bother to care. He just wanted Xu Ning to come back at any cost.
After the shadow insect was recovered, Tang Xixu handed over all matters to Pei Yuanchi and Zhao Mingshang.
The two knew that Tang Xixu was very stubborn. Perhaps when Xu Ning was still alive, he could be swayed by his decision, but now no one could persuade him.
After conquering the imperial city, Tang Xixu built an underground palace behind the main hall.
In the damp dungeon, the old emperors of the previous dynasty were hung.
The flesh on Yuwen Zhan's body was cut off piece by piece. The wounds began to fester and stink due to long-term untreated, and many snakes, insects, ants and rats came out to eat them.
When the wound got worse, Tang Xixu would send someone to heal it, and as soon as the new flesh grew a little, it would be cut off again.
Piece after piece, they were all taken by Tang Xixu to feed the insects and beasts underground.
Yu Wenzhan's body was full of pits and there were white sticky things wriggling in some places.
Tang Xixu used his sword to pick it apart and threw the insect to the ground.
"Just kill me!" Yuwen Zhan felt like he was living a life worse than death. Every time he wanted to commit suicide, he would be stopped by Tang Xixu.
Light and shadow played on Tang Xixu's face. The young man in a black dragon robe raised his red lips and played with the red brocade headband on his wrist.
Tang Xixu watched him struggle silently, and pressed the door button when leaving.
Countless feather arrows were shot out from all directions.
"ah"
"ah!"
Yuwen Zhan became a hedgehog, and his face could not be seen at all.
On a sunny day, Tang Xixu pushed Xu Ning outside to bask in the sun.
The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, red, pink, purple and white, vying for beauty.
Tang Xixu picked a white magnolia and pinned it next to Xu Ning's ear. The woman's eye sockets were dark, her cheeks were sunken, and she had lost a lot of weight. She looked dead and a faint stench of corpse could be smelled from a distance.
"I know you like to bask in the sun, and you will see it again soon."
The young emperor looked pale and bloodless.
"That day, that old man said he could save you. I gave you a lot of blood to drink, but you still didn't wake up. So I killed him to prevent him from endangering others."
"In the past few days, many people have offered rewards, claiming they can save you. But I've tried every method, and nothing works. I don't like to have expectations, so they all died."
Tang Xixu held Xu Ning in his arms, his face pressed against hers, and he chattered on and on. The palace servants passed by, but no one dared to speak, fearing they would be struck down.
"Yin Zhao, you are too obsessed. My old friend is gone, and as your teacher, I cannot persuade you. I cannot change the path you have chosen. The way you look now is also my fault."
Bi Ruohua heard that Tangxi Xu had ascended the throne, so he traveled here and took a look.
"Perhaps it was a mistake for me to ask you to find your destined one."
"Everything in the world has cause and effect. It is the Master who is wrong."
Many years ago, when Bi Ruohua was fortune-telling Tang Xixu's fate, the fate chart was broken. She was in Zizhu Mountain that day, and a blue starlight happened to pass by.
Bi Ruohua worked hard to divine and told Tang Xixu to go down the mountain to find a woman wearing a flowing light bracelet. If he could be with her, he would be able to avoid disaster.
Tang Xixu searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he gave up.
It was not until the day when Bi Ruohua met Xu Ning in the Buddhist temple that he knew at first sight that she was the woman, although he had not seen the bracelet on her hand.
Now that Xu Ning is dead and Tang Xixu is so distracted, Bi Ruhua is really worried.
"Since Master had already figured out it was her, why didn't he tell me? Why?!"
"You are so cruel! You made me watch her die right before my eyes!"
Tang Xixu shook Bi Ruhua and his face flushed.
Bi Ruohua didn't say anything, just sighed.
"Hmph. Forget it. What's the point of saying this now? Go away. Our relationship as master and disciple is over in this life."
The young man shook his black dragon robe and said coldly.
Bi Ruohua frowned, looked back at Tang Xixu, and left with his hands behind his back.
After hearing the news of Xu Ning's death, Xu Qiubai rushed over from Wangyue Tower in a hurry.
The white-haired old man had not set foot in the martial arts world for many years. Xu Qiubai entered the palace and killed his way to the inner palace of Tangxi Xu.
"Youngest!"
The old man's eyes were red and his wrinkled face was full of sadness.
"My youngest!"
The well-known owner of Wangyue Tower, who was nearly fifty years old, cried bitterly while holding the woman's body.
Xu Qiubai pushed Tang Xixu away with a palm. The young man did not dodge, but half-knelt on the ground, covering his chest.
"So much time has passed, why haven't you buried him yet? Do you want my disciple to have no peace in the afterlife?"
Tang Xixu stood up, walked over like a puppet, and picked up Xu Ning's body.
"What do you want to do? What's the matter?"
"What do you want after you've messed up the youngest's body?"
Tang Xixu's eyes were dull, his chin was untidy, and his temples were covered with white hair. Perhaps it was because of the poisonous insect or because he was too sad, but his black hair gradually turned silver and then white.
"you!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xu Qiubai slapped the young man on the back again.
Then two palms, three palms, four palms...
The young man spat out large mouthfuls of blood, but never stopped walking.
I heard that there is a mountain in the world called Wangxin. There is a stone cave in Wangxin Mountain that can bring the dead back to life.
Tang Xixu heard of this strange idea from somewhere, and that day he issued an order offering a large reward for anyone who could find this mountain.
Xu Ning's body could not wait any longer, and its hair and nails began to fall off. Tang Xixu used many secret medicines and soaked Xu Ning's body in them to preserve the body.
There is no such thing as Forgetful Mountain in the world. It is just a folk legend.
Tang Xixu seemed to understand, and he no longer looked for anyone to find a way to revive the dead.
The young emperor became thinner and thinner, and his handsome face became pale.
One morning during court, a loyal minister suddenly advised: "Your Majesty, the royal heir is the foundation of the country. The harem is empty. You should bring in a new woman as soon as possible to continue the royal lineage."
The emperor in black robes behind the pearl curtain closed his eyes to rest.
After a while, another minister also made the same advice.
Then they all knelt down and reconsidered the matter in unison.
Tang Xixu clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his dead eyes.
That night a minister sent a woman, who was extremely beautiful. She was wearing a female general's battle robe and dancing with a sword.
"Who gave you permission to dress like that?"
Tang Xixu came out from behind the bead curtain barefoot and grabbed the woman's neck.
Lan Yi was happy for a long time when she heard her father come back today and say that he wanted to let her enter the palace.
She had caught a glimpse of Tang Xixu's beauty the day he ascended the throne. As the rumors had said, he was truly exceptionally beautiful, with an exceptional demeanor, unmatched by any ordinary man.
"Do you think that by pretending to be the queen, I will look at you more?"
"You're just a fake. Fake is fake after all. You still want to compare yourself with her? Don't you see what you are like?"
The emperor's long, slender, cold fingers pinched the woman's jaw so hard that it hurt.
Lan Yi had been spoiled since she was a child and had never suffered such humiliation. Her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"My queen is resourceful and naturally bright, a beauty that even the blazing spring sun cannot match. She began practicing martial arts at fourteen and entered the Upper Pure Realm at nineteen, a feat unmatched by many who came before and those who came after. She is lively, farsighted, adaptable, and loves all things beautiful. If it weren't for my beauty, how could I have caught her eye?"
Tang Xixu gently wiped the jade pendant that Xu Ning had accidentally given him when he was drunk.
It's like holding a treasure.
"And you, a mere speck of dust, how can you possibly compete with the bright moon?"
Lan Yi prided herself on her stunning looks, which were considered to be among the best in the capital. But now that she had been demoted to such a low level, she felt humiliated and left in disgrace.
Since this incident, no one has ever sent a beautiful woman to Tang Xixu again.
The harem was empty, like a bustling cage, or a coffin.
Tang Xixu would feed Xu Ning medicine every once in a while to keep his body immortal.
After a long time, unable to feed him, Tang Xixu simply drank a sip before feeding Xu Ning. The woman's cold and dry lips chilled the young man to the bone, and tears immediately fell where their lips met.
"How is His Majesty?" One day Tang Xixu fainted in the palace, and Pei Yuanchi discovered him when he passed by.
