Chapter Thirty-One That Year That Day
The vast starry sky, the twinkling stars shining brightly, illuminating that expanse of heaven. The bright moon hangs in the air, its gentle light pouring down on the world like water. Towering mountains, full of spiritual energy, majestic and grand, stretch far and wide. A fine misty rain drifts by, a veil of fog spreading out, with waves of smoke rising high into the distance. Faintly visible, all sorts of living creatures can be seen roaming about within it. The tiger's roar, the ape's wail, the dragon's hum, the phoenix's song, intertwine to form a perfect celestial music. A silver river winds its way through the mountains, full of endless mystery, as if it were the link that connects the mountains together.
Looking out to the outer mountains, four mountain peaks rise into the clouds, straight into the sky, as if they are the four pillars that support the sky. In each direction of east, south, west and north, there is one pillar, from bottom to top, surprisingly almost the same size. I don't know how these four pillars were formed, nor do I know how long they have existed.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a secluded small road. Walking along the road will lead to a temple. The temple was built on a platform, and it's unknown what kind of person had such great power to open up this platform in the mountains. This temple looks very similar to the one that Shangguan Yu saw before, but if there is any difference, it would be the atmosphere. This temple appears more ancient, with endless old-fashioned elegance, as if it has existed since time immemorial.
Still the same young man, still in a blue robe, still with the appearance of being twenty-seven or eight years old. He floats as if he is independent of the world, and ascends to immortality like a feather. He stands in the misty fine rain, looking so calm and detached. However, if you look closely, there is a hint of tension and anxiety in the young man's eyes.
A loud wail interrupted the young man's reverie, and his anxiety dissipated. A beam of substantial light shot out from the depths of the young man's eyes, and for an instant it surpassed the brilliance of the moon.
"Haha......" The young man burst out laughing, his laughter echoing through the heavens, unknown how far it had spread. "My imperial family finally has an heir, my imperial lineage finally has a son!"
"What's a good name?" The young man paced back and forth, "My son is the only one in the universe, Yu, and also the rain that brings life to the world. Good, I'll name him Emperor Yu!"
The two characters "Di Yu" emerged, and the thunder rolled in, the rumbling sound never-ending. All living beings in the mountains cheered, and a joyful atmosphere spread out. The young man, Di Yun, raised his head, his sharp eyes gazing into the distant sky.
"Dad, Mom gave birth to a son for you, and from now on, I also have a little brother, hehe..." A 17 or 18-year-old girl walked out, with bright eyes and white teeth, a pair of big eyes sparkling.
"Aren't you being too wordy? In our imperial family, we've always had a single line of succession. When have we ever had a daughter?" Emperor Yin smiled slightly.
"Dad, you're biased and look down on me just because I'm adopted." The girl's eyes sparkled with tears as she looked at Emperor Yin with a pitiful expression.
Di Yun walked over and stroked the girl's hair, "You're wronging your father like this, didn't I and your mother love you?"
"Really? I was just kidding." The girl burst out laughing, with a pair of shallow dimples on her face and her bright eyes curved into crescent moons.
She was picked up by Emperor in the wilderness and recognized as his daughter. The emperor said she couldn't be named after him, so she followed her mother's surname and was called Shangguan Xiaoyue. She didn't know why she couldn't be named after the emperor, but she didn't ask further. Since the emperor said it couldn't be done, then it definitely couldn't be done. In her heart, this father was all-powerful.
"I'll go take a look at your mother, don't you run too far." Di Yin instructed, then stepped into the palace.
The temple had only five rooms and a large hall inside, but the yard was very big with all sorts of rare flowers and grasses. The emperor didn't look around much and walked straight into one of the rooms.
"Xīn'ér, you've worked hard." Emperor Yìn said in a low voice, with countless tenderness in his eyes.
What entered the line of sight was a stunningly beautiful face, with sweat wetting the bangs on her forehead. However, there was no sign of fatigue in her expression, and a pair of gentle eyes were gazing at the baby in her arms. It wasn't until she heard Emperor Yin's voice that she lifted her head.
"Being able to give birth to a child for my husband is already my wish, what's the point of talking about hardship or not? Xiaoyu smiled casually, "Look at our child, so adorable, just cried once when they were born and haven't cried since. Husband, have you thought of a name?"
Di Yun came to the bedside and sat down, "I plan to call him Di Yu, Xiang Er, do you think it's good?" At this moment, Di Yun no longer had that overbearing and domineering air, only warmth and affection.
"It's fine as long as you're in charge, Xiaoyu won't have any opinions. Emperor Yu, Yu'er, it's a great name." Xiaoyu lowered her head again and teased Little Emperor Yu, "Yu'er, from now on you'll be called Yu'er, do you like this name?"
"Xin'er, Yu'er has just been born. Even if the imperial bloodline is extraordinary, he can't understand what you're saying." Emperor Yin said with a smile.
"This isn't fun, is it? Isn't Yu'er your son? Don't you love him?" Xiang'er rolled her eyes at Di Yin.
Di Yu finally figured out the situation, and the man and woman in front of him seemed to be his parents for this lifetime. His mind was also very confused, earlier he was inexplicably struck by lightning, and now he had inexplicably arrived here. Was this a transmigration or a rebirth?
Looking at the man and woman in front of me, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they also look very young. However, their clothes are a problem, how can modern people wear such clothes? Judging from the style, it should be similar to ancient times.
In Diyu's view, the family environment in this life is not bad, and it seems that he has been born into a good womb. In his previous life, he was an orphan, and having parents in this life feels great. However, he doesn't know which dynasty this is, and he also doesn't know whether his historical knowledge will be useful or not.
Could it be a dream? The mother of this life gave him a very intimate feeling, and the gentle gaze seemed to melt him. For someone who was an orphan in his past life, all of this was just too warm and happy. Even if it were a dream, he didn't want to wake up.
At that moment, Emperor Yu looked at him. Feeling Emperor Yu's gaze, he also looked over, and the two locked eyes. This glance from Emperor Yu didn't have any earth-shattering momentum, but it saw right through him.
Di Yun picked up Xiao Di Yu and then turned to look at Xiang Er, "Xiang Er, our Yu Er actually has memories of her past life. This is too unbelievable."
"Husband, are you saying he has memories of his past life? Then what kind of person was he in his past life?" Xiang'er's eyebrows furrowed, she was afraid that if Emperor Yu's past life was a very bad person, then what should she do?
"Xin'er, don't worry. If she was a great evil in her past life, I will naturally erase the memories of her past life." Seeing Xin'er's worried expression, Di Yin understood what she was thinking.
The Emperor stretched out his right hand, touched the top of Emperor Yu's head, and gently stroked the space in front of him. Scene after scene flashed by, and all sorts of strange things appeared on the screen. Even the Emperor furrowed his brow deeply, "Why have I never seen such a world?"
Di Yu also saw it, and he was too familiar with all of this. Wasn't it the scene of his past life? He wasn't surprised by these things, what surprised him was that Di Yin could actually bring out these memories.
"Husband, what are these things? I've never seen them before, they look like a lot of fun." Xiang'er was also attracted by these scenes, she had never seen such an interesting place before.
The screen froze at the last moment, a young man was struck to death by lightning. "Yu'er's past life was also killed by this lightning, and his past life was just a child, Xiang'er, don't worry." Emperor Yin patted Xiang'er's hand with a concerned face.
"Uh, I know, husband. Yu'er's past life was really pitiful, she didn't even know who her parents were. In this life, I must be a good mother to him and let him feel the love of a mother." She forgot everything that had happened before, leaving only selfless maternal love.
The Emperor looked at his mother and found that he had already accepted this mother in his heart. Although the woman in front of him didn't look much older than him in his previous life, he could feel her love, a great maternal love.
"Yuer, don't think too much, the Tianxuan Continent is completely different from your previous world. This should be considered a transmigration, and you will understand the mystery of the Tianxuan Continent later!" Emperor Yunxue learned quickly, in such a short time, he had already learned the word "transmigration".
"Xīn'ér, actually it's better this way. He has memories from his past life, and his mind is much more mature, so in the future he will suffer less in this world. In his original world, there weren't many martial arts masters, but wise men were not scarce." Dì Yìn comforted Xīn'ér.
"And don't judge people by their appearance, this world's exterior can't reveal a person's age. Just like me, you might think I'm 27 or 28 years old, but in fact, I've lived for hundreds of years." Emperor Yin said calmly, as if he could see through all of Emperor Yu's thoughts.
Di Yu was really shocked, the person in front of him was actually several hundred years old? How could he look like only 27 or 28 years old? And could people really live for hundreds of years? Was it a legendary immortal? Eternal youth and immortality? Especially with Di Yin's previous move, which directly projected his memories like a movie. This had exceeded his imagination, what kind of world had he come to?
"Dad and mom, what's so funny?" Shangguan Xiaoyue ran in from outside, although she was talking to her parents, but her eyes were staring at Diyu.
The Emperor naturally knew that Shangguan Xiaoyue had walked in, but he didn't stop her. He looked at Shangguan Xiaoyue, and his eyes became strange, "Xiaoyue, from now on, you come to play with your brother, okay?"
"Alright, alright, from now on let me take Xiaoyu out to play." Shangguan Xiaoyue smiled again, still so cute and enchanting.
