Chapter 54: Secretly Coming Down to Earth Again
Chapter 54 Secretly descending to the mortal world again
She was transformed from the thousand-year-old spiritual energy at the root of the Yinhong Tree. In terms of human ethics, the Yinhong Tree is half her mother.
At this moment, she was lying between the twisted tree roots again, and a long-lost peace surged in her heart. Soon she fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, the Tribulation Book reappeared in her palm. Yunheng looked up and saw the red leaves of the tree swaying, rustling like rain.
Before each god descended to the mortal world, she personally hid the compiled Tribulation Book into the tree hole. When the tribulation is complete, those divine books soaked in the mortal world will return to her hands. After thousands of years of accumulation, those books recording the joys and sorrows have been piled up into several walls in the temple.
But this time is very different from before. Yunheng felt the divine book in her hand was particularly heavy.
With curiosity, she opened the book of calamities and read what happened after her and Qi Youan's death.
The news of the disappearance of the emperor and the empress shocked the palace. Everyone was searching like ants on a hot pot. Finally, they found two cold and close bodies in a secluded place in the imperial garden.
Qi Youan's lips were stained with black blood, and Ye Wanwan had a dagger in her heart. The red dress and the black dragon robe were stained with blood. But the hands with ten fingers clasped together tightly connected the two people.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and they were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. Yu Shimo, who rushed over, staggered to the ground.
"Sister..."
The corners of her eyes were red as she watched the only relative left in the world leave the world, and she finally covered her face and cried.
Reading this, Yunheng's fingertips trembled slightly. Thinking that the young man had to shoulder the mountains and rivers before he was even twenty, how could people not feel pity.
Song Zhixiao was shocked to learn that the emperor who had been chatting with him in the afternoon had passed away with the queen in just three hours. He could not let it go for a long time. He sat in front of the desk with the pen in his hand for a long time, and only came to his senses when the pen tip was stiff.
What! Song Zhixiao is still alive. Didn't Qi Youan say that he had been executed?
Yunheng was confused when she saw this. She wanted to turn the book forward, but she couldn't read the contents in the front of the book. The memory of the world could only exist in her mind.
Yunheng had no choice but to turn it down.
After the two died, Li Yu immediately announced the secret order left by the emperor, and immediately let Yu Shimo inherit the throne. Yu Shimo endured the grief to handle state affairs and appease the people. From then on, Qi State changed its name to Yu State.
When she turned the page again, there was only a glaring blank. Yunheng put the book aside with mixed feelings in her heart. She died too hastily, and there were still many people in the mortal world that she had not had time to take a last look at.
"I want to go down to the mortal world again!" Yunheng stood up suddenly, with a blazing fire in her eyes.
After saying that, she stood up and walked to the couch. Before she took two steps, she was stopped by Zhuyu, who handed her a fairy invitation.
Looking at the invitation in the hand of the person in front of her, Yunheng felt something was wrong. Zhuyu said, "Fairy God, tomorrow the Emperor of Heaven will hold a fairy banquet for you and the fairy god Lihe to celebrate your return from the catastrophe."
As expected, Yunheng felt her head was about to explode when she heard the name Lihe. She held her forehead and fell back to the fairy couch:
"I won't go. If you go, tell the Emperor of Heaven that this fairy... I feel unwell after returning from the catastrophe. My limbs are weak and it is difficult for me to attend the banquet. Please understand."
"As ordered by the fairy, the fairy god must see the gifts sent by the various fairies. Each item is exquisite and extraordinary." Zhuyu's words aroused the mud-like person on the couch, and Yunheng sat up.
"Then bring it to me."
Zhuyu waved his hand, and all kinds of treasures instantly covered the entire palace. The golden light was dazzling, and the pearls sparkled, which made Yunheng's already melancholy thoughts much more relaxed.
She stood up and admired these treasures.
"This is the West Sea Spirit Pearl sent by the West Sea, which can record everything in the world; this is the box sent by Jin Zexianjun, which contains thousands of human stories to entertain the immortals and gods, and..."
Zhuyu explained the origin and purpose of each treasure in a clear manner. Yunheng pouted and listened to his words nonchalantly, seemingly not caring much.
Zhuyu suddenly saw something, took out an exquisite brocade box, glanced at the girl's expression, handed the box to her and said:
"This is the Thousand Spirit Bracelet that Huoshu Immortal Lord specially gave to the immortals. The endless divine power in this bracelet is just the right match for the divine power of the immortals, which can help the immortals calm their hearts and increase their immortal power."
Zhuyu presented the bracelet with both hands. This bracelet was made of flawless white jade spirit stone. As soon as the white beads touched the wrist bone, there was a cool spiritual power flowing through the meridians.
"Huoshu Immortal Lord... Why have I never heard of such a person in the fairy world?" Yunheng asked.
Zhuyu's eyes turned when he heard it and said: "Huoshu Immortal Lord is a god in the spirit world. He rarely comes to the fairy world. It's normal that the immortals don't know him."
"So he is a fairy in the spirit world, no wonder." Yunheng nodded with sudden enlightenment.
"Put all the remaining treasures in the West Hall." After that, Yunheng squatted on the couch again and fell asleep.
The next day, the Xianze Banquet was held, and auspicious clouds were lingering. All the immortals gathered together, toasting and chatting, and
there was a peaceful atmosphere. Li He was still wearing a plain white immortal robe, and walked into the banquet with a distant look. He was still so cold and distant, and there seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, so the immortals did not dare to approach rashly.
Unlike in the past, Xuan Mo was missing from the banquet this time.
"Emperor of Heaven, the immortal Yunheng is tired and weak after returning from the calamity. I am afraid he cannot attend the banquet." Zhu Yu reported to the Emperor of Heaven in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Heaven said worriedly: "In this case, let the immortal rest well."
Little did he know that Yunheng, who should have been resting on the bed at this moment, had already quietly sneaked into the Shentian Gate. Because Xuan Mo secretly came down to the earth to interfere with the immortals' experience, the Emperor of Heaven strengthened the defense of the Shentian Gate, and it became more difficult to sneak down to the earth.
Yunheng's eyes turned, and he turned into a gatekeeper, standing with his hands behind his back, and stepped forward solemnly.
"The Emperor of Heaven is hosting a banquet today. You guys go and have a drink. I'll watch here." The guards saw Yun Heng, who had already transformed, first used their heavenly eyes to investigate her identity. However, the power of the immortals was stronger, and the heavenly eyes could not see through her disguise. The guards did not doubt her
. "There are many immortals coming and going today. You go ahead. I'll watch here." Seeing that one guard was unwilling to leave, Yun Heng suddenly had an idea and said,
"The Emperor of Heaven gave a lot of spiritual beads at this banquet. Some have spiritual power of several decades or hundreds of years. I really can't eat them all. If you don't go quickly, they will be snatched away by other immortals."
Hearing about the spiritual beads, the two guards' eyes lit up instantly. Without saying a word, they left, leaving Yun Heng alone in the Shentian Gate.
It feels really good to be an immortal. Yun Heng thought to herself, and stepped into the Shentian Gate to return to the human world.
She wanted to go back to the Ye Mansion to visit her parents and brothers, but the once magnificent Prime Minister's Mansion had already changed its owner. She then remembered that her father had been demoted because of Rong Zhenyan's frame-up.
Just as she was about to cast a spell to find the traces of her relatives, she suddenly heard the sound of festive suonas, gongs and drums, and a lively atmosphere in the distance.
Yunheng followed the sound and saw that on the long street, the wedding procession was endless, red silk was hung high, and the sky was full of joy. She casually transformed into the clothes of a mortal woman and asked the old woman beside her:
"Mother-in-law, which family is getting married with such a grand ceremony?"
The old woman turned around and saw the stunning beauty of the woman in front of her. She couldn't help but smile and said: "The girl is so beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. I guess she must be a lady from a certain family. How could she not even know about the marriage of the Minister of the Imperial City?"
"Minister?"
"It's Ye Heng, Lord Ye."
"Lord Ye!" Yun Heng was shocked. Her brother got married!
She immediately disappeared and teleported to the front of the wedding procession. Ye Heng was wearing a bright red wedding dress, riding on a horse, smiling, and bowing to the people along the way.
Her brother must have married his beloved girl. Thinking of this, Yun Heng became more curious about who the bride sitting in the sedan chair was.
She followed him all the way to the Shangshu Mansion.
Red silk was hung high in front of the mansion gate, and joy was everywhere. Ye Heng turned over and got off the horse. He walked to the sedan chair, stretched out his hand and whispered, "My wife, we are home."
The bride took his hand and slowly walked out of the sedan chair. Although her face was covered with a veil, she could still see her dignified posture and graceful manners.
Ye Heng and the bride walked into the main hall amid the cheers of the crowd.
At this time, the parents were sitting on the high hall. Although their faces had added a bit of vicissitudes, they were still in good spirits. Her nose felt sore, and she called out softly, "Father... Mother..."
Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, or perhaps it was because they had been in prison, the wrinkles between their parents' eyes became heavier, which made Yunheng feel distressed.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other!"
Ye Heng and the bride respectfully handed tea to the two elders in the hall. The mother took it with a smile, her eyes were misty, and she stroked her son's face and said in a trembling voice, "My son finally got married."
"Enter the bridal chamber!"
Under the encouragement of the crowd, the two slowly walked into the bridal chamber.
"Should I follow them? Follow... or not?" Yunheng was tangled in her heart, and her body had already leaned out of the window to peek at the movements in the room through the window gap.
Ye Heng couldn't stop smiling on his face. He sat opposite the bride on the bed. He trembled his hands and slowly lifted the veil. At the same time, Yunheng couldn't help holding his breath.
When he saw the bride's face clearly, Yunheng's pupils suddenly shrank.
It turned out to be Princess Jiayang!
Without the arrogance when Xuan Mo was possessed, Jiayang now had gentle features and affection in his eyes, staring at the person she had longed for.
"Ling'er, we are finally together." Ye Heng's voice was slightly hoarse, and he hugged his wife into his arms.
"Ah Heng..." Jiayang hugged Ye Heng back with tears in his eyes.
How could my brother and Jiayang have feelings for each other? Yun Heng thought.
The red candle flickered, and Ye Heng stroked his wife's clothes with his fingertips, and was about to untie them.
"Does it look good?"
A cold voice suddenly came from behind, making Yun Heng shudder and turn around.
Li He stood behind her with his arms folded, his expression indifferent, and his eyes deep.
Yun Heng's words to curse were blocked on her lips. The person she least wanted to see offline was Li He, or rather than not wanting to see him, it was more like being afraid.
But in order to prevent Li He from finding out and taking the opportunity to laugh at her, Yun Heng calmed down and pretended to be nothing and asked, "Why are you here? Are you following me?"
The girl's eyes were darting around and she didn't dare to look him in the eye
