Chapter 23
Chapter 22:
You become immortal, I will not stay in the world for you (22)
The turmoil was too easy to calm down. The ancient battlefield has lasted for nearly a thousand years, but this turmoil has not lasted even half a year. It is too easy, giving people a feeling that there is nowhere to focus. But thinking that those big demons and old demons have spent tens of thousands of years in the demon realm, it is only natural that their strength has been greatly reduced, and the gods of the gods are not too suspicious.
But five years after the demon realm subsided, there was still chaos.
The mortal world and the spiritual world have had troubles one after another, and there has even been a situation in the mortal world that a country has been reduced to a devil’s den. After the demon realm was broken, those beheaded demons were just surrogate ghosts pushed out by the real big demons and old demons. They completely changed their origins in the demon realm, thereby hiding in all walks of life.
Because they have been lurking in the mortal world for too long, they gradually developed their own power secretly, and finally broke out suddenly, and the gods did not respond, and the country has become a devil’s lair.
Not only that, but now the Demon King and Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm and Demon Realm have also been replaced by them. The demon realm and the demon realm were not hostile to the **** realm in the past, but now that the demon realms in the demon realm have been replaced, the demon realm and the demon realm have become the opposites of the **** realm.
It was clearly a premeditated dormancy and outburst that caught everyone off guard.
Jin Yao has rarely left the Kunlun Palace in the past five years, but now he has to go to pacify the chaos.
Leaving aside his wishes, he said that these demons were originally imprisoned by Jin Yao and tortured for tens of thousands of years. Everyone can stay out of it, only Jin Yao can’t.
Chao Ci also changed from having to face Jin Yao every day, to seeing him only once every three or five months.
In the fourth month after the outbreak of the chaos, Chao Ci received a letter from Chao Jue at the end of the month as usual.
In the letter, Chao Jue mentioned that he had been unwell recently, whether Chao Ci could come back to see him once.
Although Chao Jue knew that Chao Ci was brought back to the God Realm by Jin Yao, he did not know that Chao Ci was locked up by Jin Yao. I just thought that Chao Ci was brought to the realm of the gods by Jin Yao and could not come back easily.
When Chao Ci saw the letter, his heart kept sinking.
Over the past few years, he and DPRK have rarely mentioned unpleasant things in their letters, and they have reported good news instead of bad news. But now Chao Jue mentioned that he was unwell and asked if Chao Ci could come back… This shows that his physical condition must be extremely unsatisfactory.
When Chao Ci received the letter, he was very anxious.
Half a month later, Jin Yao came back.
He came in a hurry, and instead of wearing snow clothes as usual, he changed into a black robe. He came from outside the hall, and his pace was quite eager, followed by a strong smell of blood. Although the black robe did not show any color, it could be seen that the action was too heavy.
Chao Ci sat on the rattan chair, and when he saw him coming back, he rarely stood up on his own initiative: “Are you back?”
Jin Yao was quite surprised to see him being so well-behaved and active. He quickly stepped forward, took the young man into his arms, and touched the tip of Chaoci’s nose: “But you miss me?”
Chao Ci did not answer, but after a pause, he asked, “How is it… how is it outside?”
“Those things are more involved, it’s a little troublesome to solve, and it will take some time.” Jin Yao said.
They have secretly developed too many forces, implicated too many people, and even some have not come out yet, and it is a little troublesome to solve.
“My brother told me in his heart last month that he was unwell, can I… go see him?” Chao Ci said with difficulty, begging with his eyes.
Jin Yao’s originally happy expression suddenly stopped.
Then he pursed his lips and said, “No.”
He also asked how the young man was so clever and active all of a sudden…
What’s more, the outside world is too chaotic now, and it’s too dangerous to leave the court.
Seeing the young man’s expression darkened instantly, Jin Yao was also a little soft-hearted, and he said, “Wait a little longer.”
At least he has to find out the things hiding behind the scenes before he can take the boy out with confidence.
“But—” Chao Ci hurriedly wanted to say something.
Chao Jue told him that he was not feeling well, it was not as simple as being sick… it must be serious. He can afford to wait, how can Chao Jue afford to wait?
“Don’t make trouble.” Jin Yao frowned, “I asked the messenger to bring some spirit medicine to the lower realm, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Chao Ci was instantly speechless.
He knew that Jin Yao would not let him go back, and only hoped that his brother would be safe.
In the sadness in his heart, he noticed a cold touch on his lips.
Then he was carried into the tent by the man.
…
Jin Yao should have come back only after he was busy, and he left before dawn the next day.
Chaoci replied to Chaojue, saying that he could not go back now, so he could only wait for some time.
After the letter was sent, Chao Ci was looking forward to a day. Amid worry and anxiety, the end of the month has finally arrived.
The person who came to deliver the letter changed.
Chao Ci felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after opening the letter, he was relieved to see that his body had improved, so that Chao Ci didn’t need to worry.
Chao Jue wrote thousands of words for Chao Ci as usual. After reading the Chao Ci, his hanging heart finally let go.
After that, July and August passed by in a hurry. Jin Yao was not in the Kunlun Palace, and the mood of the court speech was much better.
But gradually he noticed something was wrong.
In the letter, he would also greet Chao Jue on a daily basis, such as being single until now, he would always make fun of this, and chat with Chao Jue about interesting things from the past. But in the past seven or eight months, Chao Jue has hardly responded to him. His letter to Chao Ci was like speaking on his own.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, until today he received this month’s letter.
He deliberately asked Chao Jue many questions last month, which were rarely answered in this letter, but… the handwriting is wrong!
Although in terms of shape, it is very similar to the handwriting of Chao Jue, but at the edge of the pen, it is slightly dull.
Chao Ci suddenly felt cold in his limbs, and then ran into the hall abruptly, turning over all the letters that Chao Jue had sent to him in the past.
It’s not his illusion, really… not a person.
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to tell the difference. But Chao Ci has been in this Kunlun Hall for six years, and he has read the letter he received countless times every month, and he is familiar with the handwriting of Chao Jue.
He looked at the anxious messenger outside the hall and said, “This letter was not written by my brother.”
“This, this… Maybe your elder brother is too busy, so you need someone to write it for you,” the messenger said.
“Then why didn’t he tell me directly? Instead, he wanted someone to imitate his handwriting, so covertly?” Chao Ci asked coldly, seeing that the messenger was still about to speak, he added, “Besides the first few months Even though the handwriting is good and it was written by my brother, he didn’t answer any of the questions I asked him in the letter, as if he had never read the letter I sent him before.”
When the messenger saw that all the remarks from the court had mentioned this, there was almost no quibble, so he hesitated and did not speak.
“What happened?!” Chao Ci naturally couldn’t let him fool him like that.
“Hey… my lord, your brother… he has long since passed away…” the messenger finally said it.
Chao Ci suddenly roared in his head, and the whole person lost his response.
Now that the messenger had spoken out, he simply said: “Previously, Zun Shang sent a former immortal friend to deliver the letter, but before the mortal demons were in power, he was killed by the demons in the middle. The hall hurriedly ordered Xiaoxian to replace him. This is an errand, because I was in a hurry and did not say anything about the treatment. When Xiaoxian goes to see your brother next month, he has already passed away.”
“He left someone to explain to Xiaoxian, saying that he was worried that you were too worried, so he asked Xiaoxian not to tell you about it. He prepared letters for the next few years and asked me to send you one in January.”
“Last month, you mentioned too many problems in your letter. The people on your brother’s side were worried that you were wrong, so they copied your brother’s handwriting. Who knows…”
He received this, glanced at Chao Ci, and stopped.
Chao Ci was stunned for a long time before he seemed to finally understand the meaning behind these cold words.
He held the letter in his hand and wept silently.
It turned out to be so.
So after receiving the letter that he said he couldn’t go back, the elder brother changed the subject and said that his health was starting to improve. Where is the improvement, but seeing that there is no hope, I don’t want to worry about it anymore.
And the letters after that were actually left by the elder brother before his death.
“Sir, your condolences, your brother has countless merits and virtues before he was born, and he will definitely be able to give birth to a good child when he enters the underworld…” The immortal who delivered the letter immediately panicked and comforted him when he saw the sad appearance of Chao Ci.
“What about the other letters?” Chao Ci looked up at him.
“It’s all here.” The messenger took out a stack of letters from the mustard bag.
Chao Ci took these letters into his arms and said to the sender, “You can go.”
The messenger was a little worried, but Chao Ci saw that he would not leave for a long time, and said sternly: “I told you to go, can’t you hear?!”
The messenger had to leave.
No one was around, Chao Ci raised his head and slipped against the corner of the wall.
Tears burst.
His brother just wanted to see him one last time.
How desperate he must be when he sees that he can’t come back.
…
Jin Yao.
He said the name with tears and the smell of rust in his mouth.
