Chapter 137: Fingers Falling from the Sky, Fengzhou Seal (Two in One)
The female saint of Yang State meditates in the Taimiao all year round and avoids seeing people.
It is a well-known fact that except for appearing at the enthronement ceremonies of emperors of all dynasties, she hardly cares about worldly affairs.
Although Wen Qie was confident about the "elixir of life" when he came this time, he did not expect Wang Shuyuanjun to take the initiative to come forward.
Because, after all, apart from the fact that when he was young and ignorant, he had secretly entered the Taimiao to play, met each other a few times, and received some guidance, the relationship between Wen Qie and this Wang Shu Yuanjun was not close.
Although he called Wang Shu Yuanjun "mother-in-law", it was because the other party's generation was so great that it was almost impossible to use normal honorifics to cover it. In addition, the direct descendants of the royal family did not want to lose the irreplaceable close connection with the other party in blood, so they could only use such a vague title.
In fact, for a saint who is at least two thousand years old, Wen Qie is just one of the more likable younger generations among the numerous younger generations.
Therefore, now that he saw the other party actually show up on his own initiative, Wen Qie, who had experienced many hardships over the years and had been able to remain calm most of the time, could not help but feel ecstatic.
He entered the Rui'an Temple without authorization without informing his brother, the current Emperor Wenxian of Yang State. The meaning was clear.
If Wang Shuyuanjun doesn't help either of them, then she should continue to ignore it.
If she wanted to maintain the current orthodox imperial power, she should scold Wen Qie and ask him to leave the Taimiao immediately and go to Ruian Prefecture immediately.
But she chose to come forward and ask.
Does that mean...she prefers Wen Qie, the junior who once received her guidance?
Regardless of whether Wang Shu did this on purpose, Wen Qie's ambition, which had been hidden in his heart for many years, could hardly be suppressed by this ecstasy.
He knelt on the ground, his voice trembling:
"The elixir of immortality that Ji Chengtian was determined to obtain, even at the cost of a saint's reincarnation, is now in Cangfengzhou, Yang Country, and I'm about to capture him!"
Wang Shu's hand was still on Wen Qie's head, and the touch was slightly cool. She was silent for a while:
"Elixir of Life...I see."
The female saint sighed and said, "What do you want to do with it after you get it?"
Wen Qie didn't dare to look up, took a deep breath, and said:
"I've heard that Taizu, in the past, worked tirelessly to establish the Yang Kingdom. He personally led the troops into battle, and after ten years of hard work, he single-handedly defeated the sixteen southern barbarians across three thousand miles, demarcating a ten thousand mile border. What a magnificent and heroic demeanor!"
"I served in the army for decades, following in the footsteps of Emperor Taizu, measuring the vast national border and personally sketching every boundary marker he erected."
"No matter how evil and rampant the Southern Barbarian Blood Evil Cult may be, anyone who sees the boundary marker will immediately abandon their weapons and flee! Without exception!"
Wen Qie's voice was powerful, bursting from his chest with full energy, not at all like that of an old man: "This is the might and power that my Yang State's Taizu has earned through his own skills!"
Wang Shu's voice softened, with a hint of nostalgia:
"He is indeed a true hero."
Wen Qie continued, "Among the boundary monuments erected by Taizu himself, the last one, the Mountain and River Monument, is undoubtedly the most famous, because it bears his own handwritten inscription."
"He made a great wish on that boundary marker: may the mountains and rivers be forever peaceful, and the world be at peace."
Wang Shu was silent.
The hand on Wen Qie's head had left without him knowing when.
"However……"
He raised his head slightly, and spoke each word with great force: "Rain and wind have battered for two thousand years, and his inscription remains, but the mountains and rivers have long since changed, and the world has transformed!"
"Even with Taizu's unparalleled magical powers, such a heroic figure still only lived for eight hundred years!"
"Life span is destiny, the shackles of all things, and no one can reverse it."
"But now, with the elixir of immortality appearing in the world, it's a real opportunity. It's not impossible to defeat Tiangang..."
Wen Qie took a deep breath and said something expressionless that was truly treasonous: "My brother is just a weakling who sits back and enjoys the fruits of others' labor!"
"Over the past few decades, I have been fighting all over the world to recover the territory lost over a thousand years for the Yang Kingdom. But what about him?"
"He sits high up in the government, living a life of luxury, and has done nothing."
"But now that I'm old, I have no choice but to give up my military power, put aside my heroic ambitions, and pretend to be an old loser addicted to alcohol and sex, just to save my own skin!"
Wen Qie raised his head excitedly. After decades, he finally saw the true face of his "Grandma Wang Shu" again.
The woman in front of him was dressed in plain clothes, with only black and white on her body. She wore a white gauze hat that was draped all the way behind her, and a lifelike black silk flower was pinned on the inside of the brim of the hat.
Under the soft hat, a calm and elegant face looked down at the younger generation in front of him.
This is the female saint of Yang Country, Wang Shu Yuanjun.
It is said that the concubines of Taizu of Yang State never left the Taimiao and guarded Taizu's tomb.
Wen Qie's vague impression of his childhood suddenly became clear.
At that time, his father brought the two brothers Wen Qi and Wen Xian to worship their ancestors. Because of his mischief, he mistakenly entered the depths of the Taimiao and saw a woman dressed in mourning in front of a tablet.
He walked forward without caring about the consequences and called the person "Big Sister".
The woman turned around, looking a little dazed, and said something.
Wen Qie had forgotten these words later. He only remembered that he was punished by his father and had to face the wall and meditate for a whole year.
But at this moment, he inexplicably thought of it again.
