The town has been very lively in the past few days. dignitaries from all over the country gathered at the door of a wealthy family, wearing white clothes and plain clothes, looking sad, as if they were conducting a funeral, but something seemed to go wrong during the process. The "
The "protagonist" is an old lady, neither too old nor too young, she is seventy years old, and her life is quite legendary: she suffered a lot in the first half of her life, lost her father when she was young, lost her husband when she got married, lost her husband again after her second marriage, and again after her third marriage.
After losing her husband, no one dared to marry her in the end, so she could only raise her two older children by herself; but the old lady enjoyed happiness in the second half of her life, because her daughter married the emperor, became a noble concubine, and gave birth to several healthy princes for the emperor.
The princess and the old lady became the "mother-in-law of the country" - that's why dignitaries gathered here to attend the funeral.
However, since a few days ago, the old lady has been living without food and is dying. Her eyes are half-open and half-closed, as if she is going to die in the next moment. However, she has been dragged here and there until today.
The people who came to mourn could not leave directly, but staying here was just a waste of time. Regarding the old lady’s anomaly, people discussed a lot and speculated that the reason why she did not die was because she wanted to see the "missing" person.
The child, that is, the eldest son who left home to "cultivate immortality".
About thirty years ago, the old lady's eldest son drowned himself in order to save a nobleman who fell into the water, that is, the then prince and now the emperor. Although he succeeded in saving the life, the old lady was distraught and cried so hard that she could not bear to die.
I wish I could die with my son. But at this time, two "strange" monks came to the town, saying that the old lady's son had good qualifications and was a material for cultivating immortals. If the old lady was willing to let her son leave home to cultivate immortals, they would
Take action to save people. After hearing what the two monks said, the old lady naturally did not hesitate at all. She knelt down and begged the two monks to save people. As long as her son could survive, everything would be done as the "immortal" said. So the two monks
Casting a spell, he easily revived the old lady's eldest son, and made him kowtow to the old lady three times, ending the fate of mother and son. After that, the three of them disappeared into a puff of smoke.
"It has been more than thirty years now." The old lady's daughter whispered while wiping her tears, "Mom, are you waiting for your eldest brother? Really?" Looking at her skinny mother, the imperial concubine felt extremely distressed.
Yan said, she had to say a few "rebellious" words, "Mother, don't endure it, let's go. My eldest brother will not come back, mother, please go." She really didn't want to see her mother continue to suffer, so
He called the imperial doctor and asked him to give his mother some drugs that could induce coma in the hope that her mother would pass away in her sleep.
It's just that compared to the imperial concubine and the old lady's uncle, the emperor of this small country hopes that the old lady will delay it a little longer, "My beloved concubine, don't talk nonsense! How can we, as children, expect our elders to 'leave'." He looked forward to him very much.
The mother-in-law could call back her son who "cultivated immortality", and said that it would be great if her uncle who cultivated immortality came back. Not only would it be helpful for her to govern the country, but she might also be able to try some elixirs that prolong life. Why not?
No. In order to achieve his goal, the emperor used the excuse of filial piety to scold his "beloved concubine" not to talk nonsense, and at the same time ordered the imperial doctor to use more medicine, use good medicine, use strong medicine, and make the old lady endure no matter what.
, the old lady naturally wanted to die but couldn't, and couldn't even tell whether it was because she didn't want to die or because she couldn't.
Time passed little by little, and it was another three or four days. Seeing that her mother was no longer human, the imperial concubine was extremely sad, but she had no choice but to secretly pray in her heart that her elder brother would take pity on her poor mother and come back quickly.
Almost at the same time as the imperial concubine was praying, there was a sudden noise at the door. People were noisy and making a fuss, as if they were trying to catch a thief. The emperor, who was a little agitated in the courtyard, had nothing to do and was looking for some fun to kill time.
With the protection of the guards, I walked outside to check the situation and happened to see people chasing two strange guys. They must have been guarding the door for several days. The dignitaries were too tired to move, and their guards didn't have much strength.
, so even if there were many people, they could not catch those two people.
"They...?" The emperor looked at the two thieves and felt a little familiar, "Could it be...?"
Before the emperor finished speaking, the two thieves suddenly changed direction, jumped over the blockage, and ran towards the door. The palace guards immediately became nervous and pulled out their swords and guns to try to stop the two strange men, but they never expected that the two men were so powerful.
, in a blink of an eye, he easily avoided the guards and came to the emperor...
"Bang!"
The male thief directly hit the emperor's chest, knocking the "noble man" to the ground on the spot. The emperor's heart and lungs were in severe pain. The female thief did not hit anyone, and quickly entered the inner hall and ducked into the old lady's room.
"Hey! It's an assassin, take it down!" The guards who failed to protect the emperor were furious. They wanted to make up for it and raised their swords and guns to kill the male thief, but before they could succeed, the emperor suddenly stopped everyone.
"Wait a minute! Don't hurt the immortal!" The emperor sternly scolded everyone, "Back off!"
The guards were stunned for a moment, a little confused, thinking that the emperor might have been fooled, and how could he be an immortal? However, they naturally did not dare to disobey the order, so they could only retreat to the emperor's side to prevent any unexpected events.
The emperor covered his burning chest and saluted respectfully to the male thief: "Immortal, you are finally here! We have been waiting for you for a long time, we... oh..." He wanted to say more flattering words, but his heart and lungs were uncomfortable and the pain was unbearable.
There is absolutely no way to talk about it.
The male thief was the Jade Bird Man. He stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, ignored the emperor, raised his chest and raised his head proudly, and said proudly to those who were chasing him behind him: "I told you a long time ago, we
It’s a god! Why don’t you believe it? Do you believe it now?!”
"Fairy? Really a fairy?" Everyone was full of doubts, "A fairy who steals things?" Just now, Birdman and Swing stole things first, and when they were accidentally discovered, the two of them said that they were gods - how could a normal person believe it?
."Are gods like this? Such virtues? Which god steals things?!" Everyone's outlook was strongly impacted, and they couldn't believe that the crow was a legendary figure.
"That's how good the gods are! They just steal things! What, don't you agree? Do you want me to show you the 'gods beating people'? Humph!" The fierce-looking crow ignored the crowd and turned to look at the emperor who was covering his chest, "Hey~ you
What's wrong? Are you sick? If you are sick, go to a doctor! There should be many doctors in the yard. Please ask them to check on you! It seems to me that you have a problem with your heart, liver, spleen, and lungs! It's very serious.
If you don't do it right, you will die! Hurry up and find a doctor for treatment! Let them use more medicine, use good medicine, and use strong medicine. All diseases can be cured - even if they cannot be cured, they can still live. Isn't it?"
"The immortal is joking." The emperor reluctantly said, "With the immortal here, there is no need for a mortal doctor to show off his ugliness. You can naturally cure my heart, liver, spleen and lungs with a little magic. Please be kind to the immortal and heal me."
It hurts my heart and lungs, how about giving me some elixirs and elixirs?" The man's eyes lit up as he spoke, and he wished he could search the crow's body to find some strange elixirs.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'm afraid it's difficult~" The birdman looked at the emperor's greedy and eager face, and said with a smile, "I can make flesh grow into white bones, and I can also revive the dead, but I'm afraid that the heart of a wolf is as strong as the lungs of a dog, even if I have magic, I can't do it.
