Chapter 718 Returning to Where We Came From
He blew a breath on the bean lamp, and the dark green fox fire turned into a bright yellow flame. With the change of light, the breath of Yue Mansion quickly faded away. Gong Mengbi set foot in the world of the living again, still in the Tianping Mountain Taoist temple.
After knocking on the door of the cave, Gong Mengbi said, "Brother Su, I'm back."
The door of the mansion opened quietly without any wind, and Su Shangxian's complaining voice came from inside: "Why did you come back?"
Gong Mengbi put the bean lamp back where it was and said, "I'll return the lamp to you."
Su Shangxian stared at the bean lamp and commanded, "Go a little to the left."
Gong Mengbi followed his instructions and moved the bean lamp to the left. Su Shangxian then took his eyes off the bean lamp and asked, "Have you finished your work?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I originally went there to discuss what to do, but ended up breaking it in my own hands."
Su Shangxian raised his eyebrows and said, "You deserve it for meddling in other people's business."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "This is no small matter. We can't ignore it."
Su Shangxian shrugged and said, "Go ahead, I won't keep you here."
Gong Mengbi had no intention of leaving and said, "We'll have to wait a few more days. Please take me in."
"Huh? Are you a sociable person?" Su Shangxian sat up straight on the cloud bed, his expression becoming helpless.
Gong Mengbi put his hands in his sleeves and said, "We are all from the same family, and we are from the Heavenly Fox Courtyard. Su Shangxian will not be so stingy as to kick me out and make me sleep in the open air, right?"
"For someone like you who is in such trouble, you should have some self-awareness." Su Shangxian gave up, fell back, and said, "Forget it, please do as you please."
There is no way to drive Gong Mengbi away if you just say it but your rejection is not firm in your heart.
Gong Mengbi stayed in Tianping Mountain for a few days.
Su Shangxian didn't like to interact with people very much, and Gong Mengbi didn't really cause him any trouble. Only Zhigui traveled between the palace and Tianping Mountain to report on the progress of the incident.
After the dream, Mrs. Chen made up her mind completely.
She opened the golden pendant she brought from the Yintu. There was a round fleshy bead in the pendant. It would occasionally emit a light and open its seven orifices to breathe.
The anti-epidemic pill is not a dead thing.
The Immortal Jin Ting once brought the epidemic pill to rescue the ghost king of the Juliu tribe in the ghost fog of the underworld. He had come into contact with this pill and had some understanding of it.
It is a Taoist magic weapon cut from the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe and placed in a golden pendant to protect the safety of the ghost queen and the ghosts.
The ghost king of the Juliu tribe is best at driving strange air and condensing it into various ghosts, which are sometimes named after epidemic diseases or miasma.
The anti-epidemic pill can absorb all kinds of strange air, making the owner immune to all diseases and poisons and living a long and healthy life.
But at the same time, it is also the most violent epidemic and miasma, which can poison practitioners with evil intentions and even ghosts and gods.
Because of long-term wearing, the pill interacted with Madam Chen's Qi, and it was also the last threat that the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe had on the Ghost Concubine.
The Ghost Concubine had long understood the usefulness of the epidemic pill. She held the gold pendant in her hand, silently praying and chanting the name of the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe. The power of the Ghost King was hidden in the Ghost King's name.
All seven holes of the epidemic miasma pill opened, and the light condensed without dissipating, emitting invisible energy that fell on the ghost concubine.
Mrs. Chen fell ill the next day, with a high fever that wouldn't go away.
The doctor saw that it was the wind evil that had entered the body, but he didn't know why it was so fierce and powerful, and it went straight into the body's positive energy, destroying it with ease and penetrating into the bone marrow.
Strengthening the body and expelling evil did not work, so strong medicine was used to barely keep him alive.
The doctors were helpless, and on the third day Mrs. Chen was on the verge of death. But now she was back to normal.
The King of Wu came to see her and talked with her.
Madam Chen said, "Thanks to the prince, I have lived a good life for many years, without worrying about the sufferings of the world, and enjoying a lot of blessings."
King Wu recalled every detail of these years and saw that her face had hardly changed. Although she was nearly 40 years old, she did not look old. He doted on her after all, so he could not help but feel sad at this moment.
Madam Chen smiled instead and said, "Life and death are determined by fate. You will eventually return to where you came from. Your Majesty has looked much more haggard recently. Government affairs are important, but you must also take care of your health."
The King of Wu asked, "Do you have any other wishes?"
Madam Chen said, "The third brother made you angry before, and you have confined him to his room. Let him come and see me off."
The King of Wu agreed.
Prince Linchuan's house arrest was lifted, and when he came to see Madam Chen, he was mostly filled with resentment.
She couldn't lose her temper in front of the King of Wu, so she could only kneel beside Madam Chen's bed and show her loving mother and filial piety.
Madam Chen held his hand, placed the gold pendant on his hand, and said, "Don't make your father angry again."
Prince Linchuan took the gold pendant and his mind went blank for a moment.
But Mrs. Chen's words, "You are arrogant, but you are not prudent in doing things. It would be better for you to study hard and cultivate your mind," made his face turn red again, but he did not dare to lose his temper in front of King Wu.
Madam Chen looked at him, then looked at King Wu, and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow me to talk to him alone for a few words?"
The King of Wu gave space to the mother and son.
King Linchuan finally vented his anger and asked, "You don't want to live anymore? Why don't you stay and help me?"
Madam Chen looked at him and said, "First there is the cause, then there is the consequence. Where we came from, we will eventually return to that place. Your father sent us out first, and now I am paying for the consequences."
King Linchuan held up the gold pendant and said, "With it here, how can you die if you don't want to? In the final analysis, you just don't want to help me. Not helping me is fine, but what's the point of saying that in front of my father?"
Madam Chen sighed and gave him one last chance, saying, "You have no chance to fight for power, so why do you want to get yourself involved in this vortex? You are a clear-minded person, so whether you concentrate on studying or asking questions, you may be able to achieve something. Why do you have to take the most difficult path that is least suitable for you?"
King Linchuan said, "I don't agree! What's the point of studying? What's the point of asking about the mysteries? Can it help you avoid death and prolong your life? Can it control the life and death of people all over the world?"
The mother and son looked at each other, and neither of them gave in.
Mrs. Chen did not see any trace of entreaty or sadness in his eyes, so she closed her eyes and said, "Forget it, go now."
Prince Linchuan held the gold pendant in his hand and turned away.
That night, Mrs. Chen died of illness.
But no one expected that Prince Linchuan suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground in front of Madam Chen's coffin. His symptoms were exactly the same as Madam Chen's, but even more serious.
Because he was still unconscious, he could only utter one or two unclear words of nonsense.
The entire palace immediately fell into a state of panic. If one person fell ill, it was because the evil wind had entered the body. If two people were like this, it might be that they were infected with an epidemic.
The entire palace was being swept and fumigated, and the scent of herbs was everywhere.
The power that Prince Linchuan coveted did not save him. Only a few palace maids were forced to take care of him, but they were so frightened that they did the job in a hurry and tried to hide whenever possible.
Prince Linchuan's fever was so intense that fire seemed to come out of all his seven orifices. He wanted to drink water, but he could not move. He opened his mouth and made a little sound, but no one could hear it.
"Why? Mother." He knew that he had been tricked, but he couldn't figure out why.
Why! Why did she not want to live, but she also didn't want him to live?
He resented and hated. The physical pain was unbearable, and the resentment in his heart was even more tormenting.
His whole body was hot and his soul was burning as if on fire, as if he was drowning in a sea of fire and unable to extricate himself. Only his clenched fingers and curled up body showed his struggle.
When the palace servants found him, he had died in such an agonizing manner.
