Above the clouds, fairy mist is lingering.
The table was covered with chess pieces, and six years had passed in the world below.
Six years have passed, and the world has changed. The Yu Kingdom and the Beiyue Kingdom have been destroyed one after another. The world has entered an era of warlords, and there are self-proclaimed kings everywhere. The powerful martial arts sects have made their moves and entered the chess game. Not only the battlefield in the open, but also the martial arts world in secret has set off a bloody storm.
Assassination and betrayal are everywhere.
In order to survive in this chaotic world, Chen Hen and his brother also took refuge with a self-proclaimed king.
The self-made king they took refuge with was a quack they had met once at the post station. The leader was the King of Han, the biggest self-made king in the south. He had gone north to snatch a magic weapon. They didn't know what the subsequent result was. They only knew that not long after this incident, the King of Han led his people back to the south.
The Chen siblings also went to the south.
A few months later, the Chen siblings met the black-hearted old man again in the Prince of Han's Mansion.
Under the enemy's conspiracy, the poison in Chen Hen's body was drawn out, and he was seriously injured and paralyzed. The black-hearted old man fell out with the King of Han, injured several people and then left. The King of Han, who failed to win over the Demon Cult, was extremely dissatisfied with the Chen siblings. Fortunately, his top general Fang Tianchou stood up and saved the siblings.
Fang Tianchou was the expert who had followed the King of Han to the north, and he was also the martial artist who was talking to Chen Hen.
night.
Farmyard.
"Are you really going to do this?!" Fang Tianchou couldn't help but ask.
"Xiaohen is my younger brother."
Chen Yuan looked up at the man in front of her, a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
After wandering for half a lifetime, he finally met someone he could trust for life, but things did not go as he wished. Chen Hen was seriously injured this time, and if he wanted to be completely cured, he had to go to the Demon Sect. Only the black-hearted old man had the method to remove the poison from Chen Hen's body.
“Is it worth it?”
"It's worth it! Xiaohen is my only relative in this world."
"I will come back alive. Before I come back, please take good care of Xiao Hen for me, Brother Fang." Chen Yuan said with a firm look.
Heavy snowfall.
White snowflakes fell on the two of them. Chen Yuan pulled back the hand that Fang Tianchou was holding, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
"I'm waiting for you."
Fang Tianchou looked at his right hand and didn't speak for a long time. This woman's life was so miserable that it made people feel distressed. It was not until a gust of night wind blew that he came back to his senses. He turned around and pushed the door into the house. Chen Hen was still unconscious in the house, and had no idea what happened outside.
Because of his special identity, he cannot come and go freely like Chen Yuan, so he can only stay here to help her take care of her relatives.
In the cloud, the two were still playing chess.
"This is a good move, but don't forget that this is a heavenly calamity, and you are the main player." The elegant man chuckled and placed another piece.
Time goes on again.
Three plants in a flash.
Chen Hen woke up and spoke even less. Fang Tianchou became the one who took care of him. No one knew where Chen Yuan had gone. Chen Hen didn't ask, and Fang Tianchou didn't say. But Chen Hen worked harder. In addition to learning poison techniques, he also learned to forge swords.
"Any news?"
Chen Hen suddenly asked.
"No."
Fang Tianchou's appearance has changed a lot. He is still working for the King of Han, but his status and position are higher. In three years, the King of Han has annexed several weak forces in the surrounding areas, further expanding his control of the territory, and more and more martial arts sects are supporting him. The situation in the world is gradually becoming clear. As the first old man to follow the King of Han, Fang Tianchou has also gathered a group of people around him.
Another year.
When Chen Yuan returned, her aura had changed a lot and her martial arts skills had become even better.
She had a smile on her face, and looking at Fang Tianchou, who looked much more mature, she couldn't help feeling moved.
There is internal strife in the Demon Sect.
Chen Yuan took the opportunity to kill the black-hearted old man and take back the antidote.
"I was poisoned by the Three Corpses Poison of the Demon Cult." Chen Yuan did not hide it. She did not want to lie to this man.
"I'll help you find the antidote."
Fang Tianchou made a serious promise. The woman opposite smiled, her smile blooming like a flower.
After many years, the two finally got together.
Ten years later, Fang Tianchou was 42 years old, Chen Yuan was 38 years old, and Chen Hen was 35 years old.
Unlike his sister and brother-in-law, Chen Hen's personality became more and more withdrawn. After the poison was removed, he practiced martial arts even more crazily. Because of the problem with his meridians, Chen Hen could only practice external martial arts. He made a knife and practiced day and night.
If the external skills are inferior, only inferior people will practice them. The real masters practice internal skills, which are high and low, coming and going without a trace.
But no one stopped Chen Hen, they just thought he needed a place to vent.
Another two years.
The King of Han died in the Northern Expedition, killed by a master of the Demon Sect, leaving only an orphan and a widow, and the situation is precarious.
"what to do?"
Fang Tianchou walked back and forth in the room.
He was hesitating, whether to assist the youngest son of the King of Han or replace him. Both paths had risks. The former would certainly be feared by the King of Han and his son. Once the youngest son of the King of Han came of age, his fate would definitely not be good. Not to mention the latter, the notoriety of bullying an orphan and a widow would spread throughout the world in an instant, and he would be despised by everyone.
"If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences." Chen Yuan looked at her husband and helped him make the choice.
"Become the king."
Fang Tianchou stopped and looked into his wife's eyes.
At this moment, ambition is burning.
A few days later, Fang Tianchou proclaimed himself king, established feudal system, and named his country "Yong".
The Northern Expedition was launched again, this time with unstoppable force, sweeping across the country. The Yellow River Cult, which had been developing in the north for many years, surrendered, and the world was unified.
Fang Tianchou put on the dragon robe and sat on the supreme throne. In order to show the new dynasty's atmosphere, he pardoned all his enemies, including the leader of the Demon Cult, Ma Kun who framed their Chen family, the traitorous housekeeper, the Yellow River thieves, and so on.
All the hatred was suppressed by him with just one sentence.
The overall situation is important.
Fang Tianchou found the leader of the Demon Cult and asked him for the antidote in person.
"There is no cure for the poison of the three corpses."
The leader of the Demon Cult gave him a chilling answer. Fang Tianchou wanted to kill someone, but he hesitated. Considering the overall situation, he decided to let the Demon Cult go and gave the leader an official title.
The world has just been settled and cannot withstand unrest.
Chen Yuan became the queen, the mother of the country. Chen Hen also let it go, and he decided to let go of his hatred. His sister had lived a very hard life, and finally settled down. As a younger brother, he should not cause trouble for her.
This tranquility lasted until six years later, when Chen Hen, who was forging a sword, suddenly received bad news from the palace.
"The Queen is seriously ill and has not much time left. She wants to see the Marquis for the last time."
Chen Hen was like being struck by lightning. He stood there alone, unable to understand why such an unexpected change had occurred. His sister was only forty-nine years old. With her martial arts foundation and her status as the queen, how could she suddenly die of illness?
Chen Hen entered the palace overnight.
The palace was even more deserted than he had expected. There wasn't even a charcoal fire lit in the palace where his sister lived.
This queen, who was regarded as the mother of the country by outsiders, was like a concubine who was banished to the deep palace, lying alone in the deep palace with no one paying attention to her. The difference from this side was the front palace, which was brightly lit and bustling.
The emperor took in a new concubine.
She is very young, the Saint of the Yellow River Religion, only eighteen years old.
Chen Hen's heart was cold. He walked into the palace and looked at his sister lying on the sickbed. Chen Yuan was no longer the same as he remembered her. She lay on the sickbed, as haggard as an old woman.
"Xiaohen, you're here?"
Hearing the noise, Chen Yuan raised her head and tried hard to force a smile.
The three corpse poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. This poison has no cure from the middle and lower levels. In order to obtain the antidote, Chen Yuan broke into the Demon Sect alone and ate the three corpse poison in front of the black-hearted old man, gaining his trust. From that time on, her life entered a countdown.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Chen Hen's eyes were sore and he held Chen Yuan's hand tightly. The hands in his memory became very dry and cold.
"I'm fine."
Chen Yuan squeezed her brother's hand hard. She did not regret it, because she saved her brother, her only relative in this world.
I felt a little guilty towards Tianchou before, but not anymore.
The emperor had a new concubine, who was younger and more beautiful than her.
He forgot the vows they made to each other.
In a trance, she seemed to have returned to that winter.
Heavy snowfall.
Fang Tianchou was still very young, and in her prime. White snowflakes fell on the tips of her hair, and that confident smile was like a lifetime commitment, freezing time at that moment.
Unfortunately, people change.
Maybe Fang Tianchou really loved her at that time, but that’s all in the past.
Fang Tianchou is now the emperor.
"Live well and don't be stupid."
Chen Yuan raised her hand and touched Chen Hen's forehead, then her palm stopped on top of his head and lost her strength. Until the last moment, she had not let go of her brother and was still worried about him.
Holding his sister's hand, Chen Hen's heart turned cold.
The hatred that he had almost given up suddenly came alive, like an erupting volcano.
Can't be suppressed.
"The Queen has passed away"
The old eunuch's voice was heard, and a group of palace maids knelt on the ground and cried.
Chen Hen walked out of the hall and stood at the palace gate.
As the night fell, the gray cold palace and the warm lights in the front yard formed a sharp contrast. A wall separated people's hearts, and he could vaguely hear the laughter of women and the sound of men playing.
"Emperor, Demon Cult, Ma Kun. Hehehehaha"
Chen Hen suddenly laughed out loud, and at that moment he felt that all his symptoms had disappeared. An unprecedented sense of relief surged into his heart, and the shackles on his body broke, and the flowing blood surged in his body.
He broke through.
Without paying any attention to the eunuch who was chasing after him, Chen Hen left the palace alone.
The heavy snow soon covered the remaining footprints on the ground.
It is pure white, free from any dust.
"You are entangled in worldly affairs and your hatred is hard to dispel. It seems that you have failed." The elegant man put down the last chess piece in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
In his opinion, Chen Luo had already lost this game of chess.
Deeply trapped in worldly ties, entangled in hatred.
Being destined to lose one's original heart is a failure for those who are going through the tribulation of the inner demon.
"Difficult to eliminate? Then let him eliminate it."
Chen Luo also reached out and took out the last chess piece. (End of this chapter)
