Moon Emperor

Chapter 388 Sister and Brother (5.5k)

The two walked through the quiet palace, turned from the front hall to the back hall, and finally followed a secret staircase into the underground.

There is a cave in the heart of the Fairy Mountain. As Su Yan went deep into the ground, he saw ancient tombs that exuded air-conditioning and stored the corpses of beautiful women; he saw a mysterious dark room that was dark and filled with a strong aura of death; he saw A storage room displaying various magic weapons, armors, and dresses.
In the deepest part of the mountain, there is a stone door with complex patterns and patterns carved on its surface. The core of the pattern is twelve bright moons, half of which are immersed in water.

Su Wen, with a cold expression, stepped forward with a light lotus step, pressed his right hand lightly on the center of the stone door, and recited: "On the [-]th day of the month, the bath begins."

As her words fell, the twelve bright moons seemed to come to life, emitting soft silvery light and slowly spinning around on the stone door.

During this process, Su Yan felt a vague throbbing feeling coming from the depths of his blood, and the origin of the moon was also a little bit ready to move, as if he wanted to swallow up that kind of power.

However, Su Yan suppressed it. The lineage of Yaoyue Palace was actually the inheritance of the Moon God, which could be traced back to Chang Xi, the daughter and moon mother of the prehistoric period.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" says: "There was a woman who was bathing in the moon. The emperor's handsome wife Chang Xi was born on the [-]th day of the lunar month, so she began to bathe."

These twelve moons are not only Chang Xi's children, but also represent the twelve months of the year. Therefore, Chang Xi also has authority related to "time, year, and month."

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" also says: "There is a country of women and the mother of the moon... located in the northeast corner to stop the sun and moon, making them come and go without any phase, and distinguish their shortcomings and lengths."

The ancients believed that the lunar calendar was formulated by the moon god Chang Xi. At the same time, due to the uneven running cycles of the sun and the moon, the solar calendar and the lunar calendar could not perfectly match each other. Therefore, Chang Xi used to "set leaps", that is, every three years. The method of leap month is to make the yin and yang calendar coincide.

It is precisely because Chang Xi has the function of reconciling yin and yang that he is called "Nvhe".

Su Yan had previously borrowed "Taiyin Saint Lord's Secret Edicts from the Moon Palace Jade Record". In addition to paying attention to the characteristic of "turning a man into a woman", the most important thing he paid attention to was this, which was clearly different from the power he currently possessed.

Therefore, when the origin of the moon senses Chang Xi's power, it is normal to have the instinct to annex him.

Su Yan even suspected that if the Yue Mother from the prehistoric era had not disappeared long ago, she would have tried every means to conspire to annex that part of her power.

Looking at it this way, this place is indeed an important forbidden area of ​​Yaoyue Palace. Chang Xi's supernatural power is left behind. The former palace owner is imprisoned here. Without Su Wen's permission, it is almost impossible to escape.

The stone door without any gaps slowly rose up as a whole. Behind the door was lightless darkness, but there was a strong lunar aura flowing, which made Su Yan feel comfortable and comfortable all over.

Su Wen took the initiative to hold Su Yan's hand and walked into the darkness. As her footsteps fell, waves of silver-white ripples appeared on the dark ground, bringing a little light to the place.

Su Yan looked at everything around him with interest, trying to find some special traces.

Soon, a person appeared in front of the two of them, a woman wearing a white torn dress, her hands locked in the void by chains.

Her appearance looked a bit scary, with long gray and dry hair hanging sparsely. Her face was as thin as a skeleton, with no flesh on her face and only layers of drooping wrinkles. She looked like a centenarian who was about to die.

She was like a rag, with no strength to stand up at all. Her whole body was hung in the air by chains. Her chained hands were raised high, and her knees were half-kneeling on the ground. She couldn't even kneel down. She could only be regarded as Hanging in the air.

As soon as she saw the old man with a terrifying face, Su Wen couldn't help but smile happily. She took Su Yan's hand and walked forward, gently helping the old man push the loose hair away from his face, "Master, wake up, I brought someone to see you~"

Her tone was as innocent as that of a little girl, as if she couldn't wait to share her joy with her loved ones.

After a while, the woman, who looked like a mummy, opened her eyelids with difficulty and looked at the person in front of her with a pair of cloudy and dull eyes.

The first thing she looked at was not Su Wen, but Su Yan. She didn't even look at his face, but at his chest.

That is Su Yan's middle Dantian, where Jiang Palace is located, and the origin of the moon is now placed in it.

"Where are you looking, Master?" Su Wen's voice sounded a little dissatisfied, and his tone was like coquettishness.

She deliberately pulled Su Yan back a few steps so that their figures were completely reflected in the other's dim eyes.

"Look, this is my man. He is very powerful, very aggressive, and his origins are also very mysterious. Although he bullies me occasionally, I like the feeling of being bullied by him."

"I'm so happy now~ I haven't turned into the bad woman you imagined."

Su Wen smiled and showed her master how happy she was at the moment, but Su Yan felt a little sorry for her for no reason, and the hand holding hers subconsciously tightened.

Su Wen naturally noticed it and just nodded to Su Yan, telling him not to worry.

"I told you about my past last time, but it wasn't detailed enough. Let's take this opportunity to talk about it."

Next, Su Wen began to tell a story that happened 600 years ago in a recalling tone.
At that time, the name of the palace owner of the Invitation Moon Palace was [Yun Ni]. As the owner of one of the three secret realms, although her cultivation was superb, she had not been able to advance in her realm for many years, so she came up with the idea of ​​walking around to relax.

It was during her travels in the world of mortals that Yun Ni discovered an interesting pair of siblings.

They were not outsiders, they were just the children of the head of a small sect in the mortal world. The sect was not well-known in the world. However, because they offended a powerful man, the whole family was wiped out, leaving only one son and one daughter. Escape.

At that time, the elder sister was sixteen years old and the younger brother was fourteen years old. The two of them had fallen from the clouds into hell. In the past, they were well-dressed and well-fed, but now they were reduced to begging for a living. They were still in constant fear of being visited by their enemies.

When they escaped from home, they were still a little bit rich in money, but because of their simple minds, they were defrauded of all their money. Even their elder sister was almost sold to a brothel, and his younger brother was almost sold to a wealthy family as a slave.

Fortunately, both of them knew a little bit of boxing and kicking skills, and they managed to escape together.

The eldest young ladies and young men in the past could hold out their hands for clothes and open their mouths for food. How could they know how to make a living?

Because he was afraid of being chased, he did not dare to reveal his family's martial arts for a while, so he had to learn to be a beggar. Even in this way, he was chased here and there without a meal, which can be said to have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world.

Fortunately, the two brothers have a deep love for each other and support each other. Even if they ask for a steamed bun, they will split it half for you and half for me. Sometimes they would rather go hungry themselves and try to find a way to let each other eat something.

A few months later, their most difficult period was finally over. Although they were still helpless beggars, they at least learned how to live as beggars, adapted to the rules of the lowest society, and were actively trying to find new ways to live. way out.

It was during this period that Yun Ni discovered them. At this time, the palace master had no apprentices. Considering that it would be difficult for him to enter the country again, seeing that the two siblings were quite talented, he immediately thought of recruiting apprentices. .

But she didn't act immediately, she just observed the two of them secretly.

Not long after, the younger brother made up his mind to do some hard work, even if it was to work as a coolie moving goods, he did not want his sister to suffer along with him.

But his younger brother was too young and the dock looked down upon him when recruiting people, so he had to show some strength.

During this period, he happened to be seen by the head of a large bodyguard agency. The head of the bodyguard was very discerning and could see that this boy was lucky and used his strength. He clearly had good martial arts skills but was willing to do hard work. He couldn't help but be puzzled.

The head guard asked his brother privately, but he hesitated and said that his parents had died early and the family could not survive. If he did not work hard, he would starve to death.

So the bodyguard leader recruited him into the "Sihai Escort Agency" and asked him to start working as a handyman, and then later become a bodyguard, bodyguard, and bodyguard leader. He has a bright future. Even if he keeps working as a handyman, he will not be able to get anything he wants. The money is much more than working as a coolie.

The younger brother was moved after hearing this. He took his sister with him and finally persuaded the kind-hearted escort to let his sister find a job as a maid serving tea and water in the escort agency.

It was from this period that the situation of the two began to improve. Although their lives were much worse than when they were young masters and young ladies, at least they had enough to eat, warm clothes, and a place to live, so they were no longer homeless.

The two siblings cherished this hard-won little happiness. For a while, they even gave up the thought of avenging their parents. Besides, they didn’t know who to seek revenge from. They didn’t even know why their family was exterminated or by whom. Know.

Several years have passed since then, and Yun Ni is still just watching in secret. She is very patient, and a few years of mortal time is just a blink of an eye for her.

At this time, the younger brother had already made a name for himself in the escort agency, and was soon promoted to the position of official escort. Finally, he was able to support his sister as he wished, so that she no longer had to do menial work.

From this period onwards, matchmakers kept coming to her door. After all, my sister was very good-looking, and even the escort agency had many young men who were interested in her.

My sister rejected all these matchmaking talks. Instead, she was more worried about her brother's marriage and wondering when to find him a daughter from a good family.

The younger brother is also not busy with these love affairs. He has excellent talent in martial arts and keeps improving. After being escorted once, he was noticed by the big shots from the General Escort Bureau and transferred him directly.There are thirteen branches of the Sihai Escort Bureau, and the Chief Escort Bureau is even more famous in the world. Naturally, the branches do not dare to keep the people appointed by the Chief Escort Bureau.

In this way, as their positions were promoted, the situation of the two siblings improved to a higher level. Compared with the early years, when the family did not encounter any accidents, it was no worse.

As luck would have it, my younger brother developed very well in the General Escort Bureau. Not only was he highly appreciated by the Chief Escort Officer, but even the Chief Escort Officer's daughter secretly expressed her love for him and privately told her father that she would not marry anyone other than this person.

After the elder sister heard about this, she even advised the younger brother to seize the opportunity. The younger brother had no ill feelings towards the eldest lady of the escort agency. After hesitation, he decided to listen to his elder sister.

At this point, if nothing unexpected happens, the younger brother will marry the daughter of the chief escort, and may even inherit the Sihai Escort Agency in the future.

Naturally, the younger brother would not treat his sister badly; he secretly made up his mind to find a good in-law for his sister in the future.

As for revenge, my sister would occasionally think about it late at night, but she still sighed in the end. Only my brother secretly decided to find ways to investigate what happened that year after he inherited the escort agency and became the chief escort.

All in all, if there are no accidents, this is their original life trajectory; if Yun Ni does not intervene, both of them should have their own happy endings.

Moreover, with the powerful strength of the Sihai Escort Agency, it is not impossible for the siblings to go home to worship their parents in an upright manner if they have to avenge their family in the future.

But at this moment, Yun Ni, who had been observing for many years, took action.

As a monk in the Three Mysteries of Life and Death, she easily abducted her brother and sister on their wedding day.

If Yun Ni was a normal person, she would have accepted the two of them as her disciples and brought them back to Yao Yue Palace. She would not have been lurking around two mere babies for ten years.

But she was not. Her character was extremely bad. At first, she just wanted to see more before deciding whether to accept a disciple, but later she had a crazy idea.

When the brother and sister were about to officially separate, Yun Ni abducted the two to a ruined temple in a barren mountain. She forced the younger brother to let him rape his sister, otherwise he would destroy his sister's martial arts and sell her thousands of miles away. She went to a brothel and was carried by thousands of people and ridden by ten thousand people.

When Su Wen reached this point, his tone was very calm, but Su Yan frowned deeply.

"Later, as you can imagine, my brother fell in love with his sister so much that he didn't dare to gamble, so he had to do what Yun Ni said."

"At that time, my sister was restrained by Yun Ni, unable to speak or move, and could only cry continuously; while Yun Ni was right next to her, so she had a lot of time and watched the scene with great interest."

"After that night, Yun Ni took her sister away and said that she would accept her as her disciple; as for her brother, Yun Ni told him to get lost."

"Just like that, Yun Ni and her sister disappeared without a trace, and my brother was heartbroken. Especially when he thought of the look in his sister's eyes last night, he felt heartbroken, guilty, and almost wanted to commit suicide."

"Although the people from the Sihai Escort Bureau found my brother and took him back, my brother didn't even get married. He only wanted to find his sister all day long."

"But he didn't have any clues, so where could he find them? So he became more and more depressed. In the end, he drank heavily all day long, yelling about his sister, and looked like a useless person."

"This made the chief escort so angry that he kicked his brother out and left him to fend for himself."

"It was during this desperate period, under Yun Ni's arrangement, that my brother accidentally discovered that my sister might have gone to a mysterious outsider practice sect called [Yaoyue Palace]."

"So he immediately cheered up and tried desperately to find Yaoyue Palace, reunite with his sister, and apologize to her."

"In this way, my brother got deeper and deeper into the spider web woven by Yun Ni. Finally, he finally succeeded in finding He Zhongtian of Qingming Dynasty and became a disciple of Yao Yue Palace."

When Su Yan heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. He could almost guess what would happen next.

Su Wen's expression remained calm and peaceful, and his voice did not fluctuate when he spoke.

"When my younger brother started, my elder sister had already given birth to a child. Although Yun Ni has been very kind to her since he accepted her as a disciple, he also devoted himself to teaching her what he learned without any reservation."

"But my sister is not happy. She always feels pain and can't help but miss her brother; and this longing makes her even more painful. She thinks that she should not have such thoughts and that all this should not happen. , there are also mistakes that shouldn’t be made.”

"The baby is babbling and growing up. From the time she can remember, her mother's pale face is often sad. The little person asks: Mother, mother, why are you unhappy?"

"The mother just tried her best to smile in front of the child and said: I am not unhappy, I am just thinking about things."

"At that time, for this little person, besides her mother, Palace Master Yun Ni was the best and dearest person in the world, because Yun Ni loved her very much and would fulfill all her wishes."

"It's just that children don't understand why the mother seems to be afraid of Yun Ni, and is even worried that her child will be taken away by Yun Ni."

"Later, suddenly one day, Yun Ni told her mother that she had accepted another apprentice."

"At that time, my mother was stunned and a little confused, until she saw a man with a vicissitudes of face appearing in front of her."

"The child still remembers that scene. The two looked at each other intently. Suddenly the man stepped forward and hugged his mother and cried. Then the mother also burst into tears. The two held each other tightly and cried so sadly."

"The most puzzling thing for the child is that Yun Ni is smiling. She is smiling so happily! The child has never seen Yun Ni so happy. The feeling is like seeing what she created with her own hands. A 'masterpiece' that came out."

"Yun Ni was very satisfied. She told the two of them to love each other and we would be a family from now on."

"The ignorant child does not understand the adult world, but she remembers that night, her mother whispered to a strange man all night long. During this period, the man was very gentle to the child, but the child was not familiar with him, so he just hid in his mother's arms and refused to Let him hold me."

"The next day, the two of them took the child out to play. The child was having so much fun because the mother kept laughing, the kind of smile that came from the heart. She had never seen her mother so happy, so she naturally followed her. Happy."

"But that night, her mother called her over and whispered some words to her; the man, or her father, also said some gentle words to her."

"Then the two of them fell asleep holding hands and never woke up again. This was the last time the child saw them."

When Su Wen said this, his eyes finally showed some sadness, "Soon, Yun Ni rushed over. She was very angry, so angry that she was so happy that she laughed so happily before, but now she hates her so much that she almost killed her. I'll strangle him to death too."

"But she didn't do it after all. She just burned the bodies of my mother and father to ashes in front of me, and told me to practice well in the future, otherwise this will be my end."

"I agreed numbly, practiced hard, and always kept my mother's last words in mind."

"When I grew up to be capable enough, I finally went to war with the master and successfully defeated her, sealing her into the forbidden area. I also ascended to the position of palace master."

Su Yan was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "That younger brother, your father, doesn't want to become a woman, right?"

In his opinion, his sister might not be willing either, so the two siblings agreed to die together to prevent Yun Ni's conspiracy from succeeding.

Unexpectedly, Su Wen shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with this. Yun Ni did not help my father practice [The Secret Records of the Moon Palace] because that would not be able to achieve her goal."

This answer was beyond Su Yan's expectation, "Then what is her purpose??"

"It's very simple." Su Wen looked at the old woman hanging on the chain in front of her with cold eyes, "She likes the painful and tangled love between the sister and brother, and hopes to see them attracted to each other. Can’t even bear to do it again”

"What she wants is the taboo feeling between sister and brother. She hopes to enjoy two painful souls cuddling together to comfort and warm each other every day."

"Including separating them first and then reuniting them, this is the purpose, because only after losing do you know how to cherish each other."

"My parents just saw through Yun Ni's thoughts and didn't want to become this woman's plaything, so they would rather die in love than let her succeed."

"As for me, I think they should have thought about taking me with them, but maybe they thought it was unfair to me; coupled with the hatred for Yun Ni deep in their hearts, they pinned their hopes of revenge on me."
