Chapter 805 Losing Light
No matter how touching a legend is, if it is too long ago, it is just a story and cannot touch the heart.
What they hold on to is conscience, guilt and gratitude.
But this time, Lu Chaochao saved the world with his life, and his story was deeply engraved in the hearts of countless people, becoming an indestructible belief.
The ice and snow melt and spring returns to the earth.
But she paid a terrible price for all this.
"How stupid, how stupid... We can also bear it ourselves, we don't blame you."
"Why are you so stupid..." The cries gathered together and everyone knelt on the street.
"Little Sword Master is not even nine years old yet, she is still a child..."
"Every living person, every living day, was earned by her life..." Everyone cried inconsolably. They could never repay what they owed Little Sword Master.
Everyone was shrouded in sadness and despair.
"Look, what's in the sky? It looks like there's a big dark thing?" The naive child pointed at the sky and asked curiously.
"There's a large dark thing on the sun. It's going to block the sunlight." After the little guy shouted, he hid behind his father in fear.
Soon, the black shadow blocked half of the sunlight, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Hurry, turn on the lights! Why is it suddenly dark?"
"It's still broad daylight, why is it dark?" Everyone became more and more panicked, with tears on their faces, and hurried home to light a fire.
The moment the torch was lit, the land fell into endless darkness.
The sun fell into the endless darkness.
"how so?"
Everyone was already shrouded in sorrow, and seeing the endless darkness, they became even more terrified.
Emperor Xuanping stood on the city wall, holding on: "Quickly light the lanterns, maintain order, and appease the people!"
Morning sacrifices and the fall of light into darkness, is there any connection between them?
Emperor Xuanping fell backwards before he had time to think deeply.
Emperor Xuanping had a serious illness, but he still held on and ordered that funeral ceremonies be held every morning, as if it were a national mourning.
"Please ask the Crown Prince and Lord Lu to act as regents." As he got older, he could already feel his physical strength declining. Natural disasters have been frequent during this period, and Emperor Xuanping is facing tremendous psychological pressure. He has reached his limit.
The Lu, Xu, and Rong families seemed to have lost their souls and gathered at the Lu family.
Several aunts of the Xu family cried until they fainted, and several uncles had already invited imperial physicians several times in succession. The old man was sitting in the main hall.
The old man with gray hair on his temples cried inconsolably.
Xu Shiyun had fainted, but was awakened by the pain in her heart.
"Yunniang, your hair..." In just one night, Xu Shiyun's black hair had turned white.
Not a single strand of black hair.
Xu Shiyun's lips trembled, she couldn't say anything, and ran out.
It had already gotten dark outside without anyone noticing. Lanterns were lit everywhere, making the entire yard look even more pale and frightening.
Rong Che hurriedly chased after her. She was still wearing her undershirt and was feeling weak at the moment.
But the expression on Xu Shiyun's face was worrying, and no one dared to stop her.
Mourning banners had been hung in the Lu family mansion, and Xu Shiyun was furious.
"What are you doing?"
"What are you doing?!" Her voice was shrill and angry, and she rushed forward and smashed the mourning hall like a madman.
"My Chao Chao is not dead, my Chao Chao is not dead. You are not allowed to hold a funeral, she is not dead!!"
"My Chao Chao is not dead yet, she is not dead..." Xu Shiyun's words were already incoherent, and Deng Zhi had already burst into tears: "Madam... Madam..."
Xu Shiyun rushed into Chaochao's courtyard, hugged Chaochao's clothes and shook her head.
"My Chao Chao is not dead, she is not dead, you are not allowed to curse her. She will come home, she will definitely come home." Her eyes were dazed and she was a little out of control.
Rong Che panicked and didn't allow anyone to get close to her or any outside stimulation.
He immediately comforted her, "Yes, Chao Chao is not dead. She is not dead, it's all the servants talking nonsense. I will let them withdraw now."
"Yunniang, put on your clothes first. If you are sick, Chaochao will be angry." Rong Che brought clothes and put them on her himself.
Seeing her holding Chaochao's little Yi and humming a lullaby softly, Rong Che couldn't hold back his tears.
She turned around and wiped her tears, and only appeared in front of Xu Shiyun again after her emotions had calmed down.
When Xu Shiyun calmed down, Rong Che handed her over to Deng Zhi and whispered, "Don't take the lady out."
Mourning banners had been hung throughout the city. When Rong Che walked out of the door, he saw scattered yellow paper all over the ground. Copper basins were placed on both sides of the street, and countless people were kneeling on both sides of the road wearing mourning clothes and burning paper.
The originally dark sky was now illuminated by the flames all over the city.
The air was filled with the smell of incense and candles. Rong Che sniffed, his eyes went dark, and he raised his hand to hold the door frame.
"General, do you want to call the imperial physician?" the servant asked in a low voice.
Rong Che swallowed the fishy smell in his throat and waved his hand gently: "It's a turbulent time in the mansion. Don't make it public, so as not to make Madam worry." He was physically and mentally exhausted during this period, but the string at home was already taut and he couldn't fall down.
As soon as Rong Che stepped out of the door, a commoner in mourning clothes came forward and kowtowed, then whispered, "General Rong, this is the funeral of our benefactor. Can we enter the mansion to pay our respects?"
"We won't disturb you, you are my noble lady. We just want to burn a stick of incense for our benefactor... and send her off." The commoner who spoke wiped his tears and prayed cautiously.
"We won't stay. We'll just kowtow and leave."
Rong Che nodded. He wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, nothing came out. He was afraid that he would burst into tears as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lu Yuanxiao got off the carriage with a pale face and said, "Father, there is no coffin suitable for Chao Chao in the city. But I found a piece of top-quality wood in the national treasury, which has some divinity... I heard that it will not rot for a thousand years." Originally, Emperor Xuanping planned to keep it for himself.
The most painful thing in Lu Yuanxiao's life was finding a coffin for his youngest sister.
My heart was numb from the pain and I felt completely unconscious. I felt like a walking corpse.
"It's okay. I'll do it for Chaochao myself. You go back home and stay with your mother. She loves Chaochao the most and I'm afraid she can't bear it." Rong Che asked people to go to the treasury to move wood and prepare all matters related to the funeral.
"Yes, the monarchs of the Southern Kingdom, Western Yue, Brahma Kingdom, and Eastern Ling are also on their way."
"However, now that we have fallen into darkness, I am afraid it will take some time." They also have their own burdens and have to settle the people of various countries.
"Are you feeling better, brother?" Lu Yuanxiao asked again.
My eldest brother had disabled legs and often used a wheelchair. When Chaochao was a child, he grew up on his eldest brother's lap. The eldest brother and Chaochao have a special relationship.
"Yanshu suffered some injuries on his forehead, but he had no time to recuperate, so he was urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty to guard Beizhao." The world has fallen into darkness, and chaos can happen at any time.
After Rong Che finished speaking, he quickly went to prepare the coffin.
Lu Yuanxiao returned home, and everything was the same, except that his sister was gone.
His Chaochao is actually very afraid of pain. Sometimes when her hands are scalded by hot water, she would ask her mother to blow on her hands with red eyes.
How painful it must be for her.
