Return of the Immortal Emperor: The Villain Empress Becomes Mother-in-Law

Tang Xuan didn't know, but no matter what, he didn't want to give up in this life, let alone leave Tang Yan alone to wait.

He had no choice but to continue to run the Chaos Art, waiting for a miracle to come.

Until midnight.

The hospital was eerily silent.

Jingle Bell.

Suddenly, the cell phone in Tang Xuan's pocket rang, waking up Tang Yan who was sleeping on top of him. She opened her beautiful red and swollen eyes, trembling hands, and glanced at the phone.

It's an unfamiliar number.

Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, pressed the connect button, and said timidly, "Hello..."

There was a gentle laughter from the other end of the phone, followed by a smile: "Xiao Yanyan, in the Jiming Temple on Longjing Mountain, there is a clear spring, which is said to have the effect of curing all diseases. A sick pilgrim would rather spend a lot of money to obtain a clean spring, but returns in vain."

"Because, that clear spring will seep into the ground every once in a while, and it will only form with dew in the early morning, and there are very few people who can drink it."

"It may save your brother."

Before Tang Yan could respond, the phone was hung up.

Tang Yan's beautiful eyes froze in place, holding the phone in her hand, and it took a long time for her to come to her senses, and accidentally lifted the quilt covering Tang Xuan's body, and removed the pipes.

Then he carried Tang Xuan on his back and ran downstairs to the hospital.

Tang Xuan, who was running the mantra in the Chaos Orb, sensed the movement and didn't know what happened, but watched Tang Yan take him all the way to take a taxi to the foot of Longjing Mountain.

Tang Yan, who was already small in stature, raised her head and glanced at the bluestone steps leading to Jiming Temple, and then glanced at Tang Xuan, who was almost twice her size.

Without the slightest hesitation, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he put Tang Xuan on his back, and walked up the bluestone steps step by step.

Yanyan... what is this for?
Tang Xuan's eyes froze. Although he could use the Chaos Orb to see the situation and hear the outside world, he couldn't hear the words on the phone at all.

Tang Yan suddenly came to Longjing Mountain with him on her back, and seemed to be going to Jiming Temple. Could it be that she was planning to ask the Buddha for help?

But this Jiming Temple is located on the top of Longjing Mountain, with a total of 99 steps going straight up. It is a famous alpine temple in Jingzhou. How could Tang Yan, with her thin body, be able to climb up?

Tang Xuan wanted to stop it, but could do nothing.

Stubbornness was written all over Tang Yan's face, but after carrying Tang Xuan on her back for nearly thirty steps, she was already panting for breath.

But she didn't stop to rest, but clenched her teeth and climbed up hundreds of steps in one breath, her face was only pale.

"Brother...Brother...Don't worry...I will definitely save you...I will definitely be able to climb up..."

During the crawling, Tang Yan kept talking to herself to cheer herself up, but every time she climbed a step, her delicate body would shake a bit.

It was early morning at this moment, there was no one around, only a full moon hanging in the sky, the faint moonlight shone on the steps, Tang Yan looked particularly lonely with Tang Xuan's back.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Every step is difficult.

Up to the thousand-step steps, Tang Yan was already sweating profusely, and she seemed a little exhausted, and the encouragement in her mouth became like a mosquito, and she could only faintly hear it.

But she still didn't stop.

It was as if there was a belief driving her.

Tang Xuan didn't look away from the beginning to the end, his eyes were full of distress, he gritted his teeth, and there was a gloomy energy in his heart that couldn't be shaken off.

He punched hard, trying to vent.

But this movement caused Tang Xuan's body on his back to move, and Tang Yan was even more taken aback by this.

There was a touch of joy on her face, and the body that was originally precarious suddenly gained a little more strength, and she took several steps in one breath, and said excitedly: "Brother? Can you hear me?"

Tang Xuan's body didn't move, but Tang Yan was still talking to herself.

"Brother, do you still remember that when you were a child, you took Yanyan to play on the slide? You disliked Yanyan's stupidity and didn't want Yanyan to play. You told Yanyan that she was crying, so she lay on the ground and refused to get up. Brother was afraid of coming back late. If you are scolded at home, you can only pick up Yan Yan and carry Yan Yan home, Yan Yan is still lying on her brother's back and fell asleep..."

"I didn't expect that Yanyan would have the opportunity to carry her brother behind her back..."

"Brother, you... don't fall asleep... Yanyan will take you to the temple right away...you will be cured right away..."

"Brother, you are really good and heavy. After you wake up, remember to lose weight..."

Step by step, up and up.

After going up about a thousand more steps, Tang Yan finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell headlong on the steps, but her thin and delicate body still refused to let Tang Xuan go.

"Yanyan..."

Seeing this scene, Tang Xuan's eyes were a little red, and his mood, which had never been turbulent, unexpectedly appeared a touch of turmoil.

What he didn't expect was that Tang Yan, who fell down on the steps, rested for about ten minutes, then propped up her body again and began to climb up.

However, this time it was more difficult than every step in the past.

It would take about a minute to go up a level, and every step would make Tang Yan's back bend a bit, and it would also make Tang Xuan in the Chaos Orb feel a little heartbroken.

Until dawn, Tang Yan finally saw the gate of Jiming Temple, but when there were nearly 20 more steps left, she finally lost all strength and a few tears came from the corners of her eyes.

"Brother, I can't take it anymore."

After speaking, he fell down.

"Yanyan!"

Tang Xuan gritted his teeth and shouted.

Seeing that Tang Yan's body was about to fall down the bluestone steps together with Tang Xuan's body, at the gate of Jiming Temple, a few monks with brooms happened to come out.

Seeing Tang Yan collapsed on the stairs, they were taken aback for a moment, then dropped the broom in their hands, went up and carried Tang Yan and Tang Xuan into Jiming Temple.

……

I don't know how long it took.

Tang Yan slowly woke up, and there were bursts of melodious chanting sounds in her ears. She propped up her weak body and looked around.

A group of monks were knocking wooden fish and chanting scriptures in the lobby.

As for himself, he seemed to be lying under the Buddha statue.

Brother Tang Xuan was also lying beside him.

"Amitabha."

A rather old voice came from next to my ear: "Female benefactor, are you awake? Why bother to climb my Jiming Temple in the middle of the night?"

Tang Yan recovered a little strength to turn her head, and saw an old abbot in cassock. He had kind eyes, a mole between his eyebrows, and Buddha nature.

"Are you the abbot of Jiming Temple? Please save my brother!"

Tang Yan burst into tears, quickly propped up her body, knelt on the futon and said, "I heard that there is a clear spring in Jiming Temple, which can cure all kinds of diseases. My brother has been poisoned by a snake, and the hospital can't save him. Please let him drink from the clear spring." !"

"Poisoned?" The old monk was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head and directed: "Huicheng, Huifeng, both of you hurry up and carry this male benefactor to the 'Longjing Spring' behind the temple!"

"Yes, Abbot."

Two young-looking monks quickly lifted Tang Xuan up and walked to the back of the temple.

"Female benefactor, come with me."

The old monk nodded slightly to Tang Yan, helped her up from the futon, and said worriedly: "Longjing Spring has not come out for three years. I don't know if there is a spring now."

Tang Yan's delicate body trembled.

The old monk continued: "It is said that this clear spring can cure all diseases, that is an exaggeration by the people at the bottom of the mountain. It does have the effect of curing diseases, but whether it can detoxify, it depends on..."
