snatch the fox

★The choice between bread and love is sometimes more difficult than the choice between fish and bear's paw. ★

……

The gentleman sighed, and glanced at Shen Linyan, whose face was gradually turning pale.

"If the emperor delays any longer, he will lose even the last trace of his soul."

Xie Linyuan froze, and after some struggle, he finally gritted his teeth: "What conditions does he have?"

Zunjun was satisfied and recited the Dharma name.

"Return to the Heaven Realm to take charge of the post of Emperor Gouchen, and 'patrol' for the Heaven Realm."

"Only these?" Xie Linyuan smiled mockingly.

"More than that, the Heavenly Emperor will call you to explain it when the time comes."

"..."

"Does the emperor agree?"

"……it is good!"

The person he met just now had to face parting again. He finally took a deep look at Shen Linyan's calm face, and handed him over.

"Tell the Heavenly Emperor, don't play tricks, take good care of him, and save me from calling him a world of never-ending peace!"

……

Heaven

The Emperor of Heaven pressed the center of his brows, and put down the pen in his hand to review the documents: "Come here."

The servants waiting on the side stepped forward.

"Thunder God's matter, how is it going?"

The attendant said: "I guess I'm about to wake up, but..."

The Emperor of Heaven opened his eyes: "But?"

"That Emperor Zun already has an incomplete soul, and now the fox shell that Emperor Gochen finally found a place to live in, can't stand the 'hospitality' of the new Thunder God... I'm afraid there is only one soul left now."

"Now that his red fox beads are all broken, what's the use of that shell?" The Emperor of Heaven thought for a while and waved his hand: "Forget it, let's talk when people wake up."

As soon as the voice on this side fell, and before the pen was picked up, a guard came in to announce: "Your Majesty, the torture platform is here to report, and the emperor is awake."

The Emperor of Heaven was stunned: "Wake up? It's so fast..."

"His Majesty?"

"..."

……

Xingtai

Shen Linyan squinted his eyes full of blood, staring at the newly appointed Thor in front of him, and laughed silently: "Xie Wanping, so you have hidden back to the heaven... No wonder Xie Linyuan can't find you."

Xie Wanping was wearing armor and holding a whip, and raised his head proudly, seeing him whose limbs and muscles were pierced by countless tiny fairy puppet strings and hanging in the air, he said in relief:

"Here, besides the Emperor of Heaven and the people on the execution platform, they all thought you were lying in Ziwei Palace in Ziweiyuan~ Especially he, the Great Emperor Gouchen, even though he was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven not to see you in private, he still wandered around your place all day long. Ziwei Palace is watching eagerly? If you don't "wake up" for a day, he will do some irrational things, and maybe even if you destroy all your souls, you won't be able to return the emperor's pardon~"

"Where am I lying down, isn't it the same?" Shen Linyan spat out blood and said calmly, "The Emperor of Heaven has always been like this, and I'm used to it, so tell me, what else does he want me to do to let Xie Linyuan go? "

"Heh~ What do I think, didn't Emperor Zun know about it a long time ago?"

The heavy door opened slowly, and even a gleam of light leaked into the dark prison where the execution platform had not seen the sun for a long time could temporarily sting his eyes. When the door closed again, he slowly opened his eyes.

The man in front of him was still young, with a pair of peach blossom eyes always hiding a light that others could not understand.

Others are afraid of his light, but he is not.

"I don't know what His Majesty means, so please clarify."

But the Emperor of Heaven didn't return him, his expression faded and he bowed his head and ordered: "Release him and send him to Zhen Palace."

Shen Linyan didn't speak, and quietly let the servants around the Emperor untie him personally, and let him out of the dark prison.

"Xie Wanping."

"My little minister is here!"

"You did very well."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"

"Do you like this torture platform?"

"Your Majesty...as long as His Majesty thinks it is suitable, I will like it!"

"Good~"

The Emperor of Heaven straightened up and pinned a bright red flower on Xie Wanping's head, smiling softly:

"Come here, treat Leishi Xie with the immortal puppet thread... Oh, remember, I have to change to a new one, the blood-stained old one will definitely dirty my soul~"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty... I don't know what I'm guilty of, Your Majesty! Please forgive me..."

The heavy prison door was closed tightly, shutting Xie Wanping with the Bianhua flower pinned on her head, and her miserable screams on the other side of the wall, so that no sound of aggrieved could be heard.

The Emperor of Heaven tilted his head slightly.

The attendants on the side immediately bowed and obeyed.

"Remove Xie Wanping's immortal status and send her to the blood pool in the lower ninth floor of the West Hell. It will be clean there."

The attendant's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, after all, that is the soul that you transformed. If the soul is punished for hundreds of millions of years, your majesty's soul will..."

The Emperor of Heaven glanced at him, expressionless: "So, you don't think the Blood Pool Hell is clean enough? Then... how about the [-]th Floor Saw Hell? Let you go with her?"

All the attendants were shocked, and quickly bowed and knelt down, shouting "Your Majesty, calm down."

The attendant still stood stubbornly: "Your Majesty, please think again."

The Emperor of Heaven frowned slightly.

"What's your name?"

"Xiaoxian Aruohua."

"Ruohua, the flower of Ruomu...the regenerated life..."

The Emperor of Heaven flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

……

Under the gorgeous clothes, the bone-piercing wound pulled his scalp fiercely.

I don't know what kind of medicine the emperor's attendant used that day, the wound is still there, but there is no bleeding, and after cleaning the wound and putting on clean clothes, the whole person is not different from ordinary people except for his pale face.

Sitting in this huge palace, I don't know how many sticks of incense have been changed before the Emperor of Heaven came late.

He got up and greeted respectfully.

"Forget it, sit down."

He lowered his eyes, thanked him and sat down.

"Arohua."

A young man emerged from the attendants behind him.

"Ziweiyuan is very cold, from now on you will follow Emperor Zun and work in Ziwei Palace."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, the man named A Ruohua first bowed to the Emperor of Heaven, then turned to him, and bowed in the same way:

"Little Immortal A Ruohua, I have seen Emperor Zun."

Shen Linyan stared at the Heavenly Emperor thoughtfully, chuckled for a long time, waved his hands and said coolly: "Okay! It just so happens that I just returned to Ziweiyuan, and several people have an extra 'care', which saves me a lot of 'trouble', doesn't it?"

The Emperor of Heaven was indifferent, and poured the jug on the table, sipped the wine, and looked enjoying it.

A Ruohua still maintained the posture of bowing, and did not move.

He was impatient, so he had to stretch out his hand to help A Ruohua get up, and he didn't want to waste any more words on this matter.

Let me ask, the Emperor of Heaven, the master of all things, wants to put someone beside him as eyeliner, what can he do?

A Ruohua was obedient, and spontaneously walked behind him and stood there.

The Heavenly Emperor didn't speak, and it was even more impossible for those attendants to react, and the atmosphere became dull all of a sudden.

The person "invited" to come without saying anything, and let the person go without saying a word, Shen Linyan felt very bored, subconsciously took the jug in front of the Emperor of Heaven, found an upside-down cup on the table to pour the wine, and put it together It's about to drink.

Leng suddenly swung a sleeve from the opposite side, and dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground, breaking it.

"Alcoholism hurts the body...why, you plan to go out of my inner hall in a crooked manner, so as to provoke the father-son relationship between me and Gou Chen?"

Shen Linyan raised his head slowly, watching the Emperor of Heaven calmly close up his sleeve robe, which was soaked in a corner of wine stains, with an unclear expression.

All the attendants behind the Emperor of Heaven fell to their knees in shock and shouted "Your Majesty, calm down".

Only A Ruohua, who was behind Shen Linyan, turned a blind eye to everything in front of him. This behavior... was somewhat similar to his temperament. Shen Linyan couldn't help but look sideways. When did the Emperor of Heaven have such a person by his side?

He glanced at the group of "attendants" who knew how to respond to the situation behind the Heavenly Emperor, but kept shouting "Your Majesty, calm down", and then glanced at A Ruohua behind him. Those eyes successfully made the smiling mouth of the Heavenly Emperor slightly stiff.

He said: "I haven't seen you for many years, and I don't know that His Majesty's taste has changed so much... I don't know if Yuan Zheng, who is reincarnated in the lower realm, will regret his promise to go to the execution platform to be punished when he finds out."

The Emperor of Heaven tapped on the table with his fingers and said lightly.

"Shen Linyan, everything you did back then, even at the expense of provoking Yuan Zheng, wasn't it just to get revenge on me."

Shen Linyan's voice was even colder:

"Big brother and younger brothers choose to tolerate you, but it doesn't mean that I can give up... Mother doesn't want us to take revenge, and doesn't want us to have anything to do with you, you are better... I don't know how others will lead us brothers to serve in the heavens." Think, since you don't like your mother, why do you want to provoke her!"

"Why, you still think I'm obsessed with Yuan Zheng?"

Shen Linyan sneered: "Isn't it? You protect him everywhere. He is like a flower growing in a greenhouse. Being too well protected may not be a good thing. As long as I use some means, are you afraid that he will not obey me? Are you right? He is good, he has long forgotten."

"When Yuan Zheng died on the execution platform, Shen Linyan, didn't you feel any guilt?"

The Emperor of Heaven narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How could you know that it was not Yuan Zheng who was supposed to go to the execution platform, but you... Shen Linyan, Emperor Ziwei."

He was shocked violently, but still forced a smile, his face turned pale:

"Isn't that better? You like Yuanzheng, you like men... Back then, my mother had a deep relationship with her adoptive father in the lower realm. You said you liked men, so why did you go to see your mother, and let her abandon the family and children?" I want to follow you even if I have no name or title, why would my mother give birth to us but leave us in the deep mountains and ignore us until my mother dies of illness!"

"The disappearance of the adoptive father's son is also a good thing you did? The adoptive father found the deep mountain to raise us, and he was still alive in the world, so you summoned our brothers to the heaven to take office, and you didn't allow us to go to the lower world... You want to seize How much are you willing to leave him?"

"Mother is gone, his son is gone, and finally we are gone too...how is it? Pei Yuanzheng is your treasure, right? How does it feel to be robbed of your most cherished thing?"

Shen Linyan's eyes were red, and he rushed over and grabbed the lapel of the Emperor of Heaven, and said in a hysterical low voice:

"There is retribution in this world, you have no reason to blame me for doing this!"

"Presumptuous! You..." All the attendants behind the Heavenly Emperor shouted immediately, and were frightened back by the Heavenly Emperor's look.

The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes lightly, but he didn't even look at the seized skirt.

"Your memory has been tampered with."

"What did you say?"

"...Your memory has been tampered with by Gou Chen."

"You bullshit!"

The Emperor of Heaven gave him a deep look.

"Among you brothers, only you are not my own son, you... are the child of Wan Yue and that mortal."

Shen Linyan's pupils shrank, and he loosened the lapel of the Emperor of Heaven, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"I and Wanyue were childhood sweethearts, but Wanyue was hated by the Queen of Heaven and demoted to the mortal world. At that time, Wanyue was already pregnant with my heir. After going down to the realm, she married that mortal and gave birth to a second son. I often went down to the realm to visit. Later, Wanyue and That mortal has you, I still remember how you chased me to play with you when I went as Wanyue's relatives..."

"It didn't take long for the Queen of Heaven to find out about this matter, and to hide it from me, and to trip up Wan Yue from the lower realm, and Wan Yue was so disturbed that she asked me to take her away. I couldn't bear it, so I had to take her and the second child with me temporarily. Go to the mountains to hide."

"After she left, the place ruled by mortals was defeated. Before the country was destroyed, people were sent to take the eldest son and you out of the palace in two directions. Somehow you found that place deep in the mountain, standing in front of Wanyue covered in blood. At that time, I almost didn't recognize you."

"And then, my eldest son was never found, and your younger brothers were born one after another. The Queen of Heaven had to force me to go back to the heavenly realm, and while I was away, she tricked you into believing that the country was destroyed by me, and then pretended to be my son. You went to the Heavenly Court to apply for the job, and after Wanyue found out, she died of illness within a few days."

"You know what happened in the future. I fell out with the Queen of Heaven, and the heavens were in chaos. When you took office, you put down the chaos everywhere for me. Your reputation spread all over the world, and you were on the throne, and no one questioned it... But I really didn't expect it. The Empress finally buried your pawn."

"You said you wanted to take revenge on me, so you went to Yuan Zheng to find a way... How could I have any thoughts about Yuan Zheng? He is my eldest son! He missed the opportunity to gain military merits in countering the rebellion, so he couldn't be named immediately, so he had to temporarily Living in my palace and waiting for an opportunity, this time, I went to the execution platform!"

He froze for a moment, then raised his head in confusion: "What did you say..."

The Emperor of Heaven smiled wryly.

"Yun Zhengtong didn't look very much like him when he was a child. Few of you brothers recognized him. The second child thought you really liked him, so he tried every means to modify your memory. How can you remember that there was such a person who loved you so much?" Big brother? You will only remember the second child..."

"You don't remember him, but he remembers you. Everything you have done has long been seen by the people around you, and he suppressed the impeachment. Don’t worry, in the end you were forced to re-enter reincarnation on the execution platform for you, and only then did you calm down the wave after wave of crusades—those who condemned him, those who condemned you.”

"You said, you are not my son, but I conferred you the extremely high status of the North Venerable star, even surpassing my several relatives, but you harmed my son like this, not only the boss, but also the second child!" ... I called you to my inner hall to have a little 'punishment', is there anything wrong?"

"One of my sons has fallen into reincarnation, and I don't know when he will be able to return to heaven. Shen Linyan, do you think you are capable? The second son actually traded with Xie's family for you and took over the shell of Xie's eldest son. I lived and grew up with you who was just born in the fox clan, and secretly guarded him, how do you think I can rest assured that you will be by his side and waste his life?"

"From now on, if you are farther away from my son, you will still be the throne in Ziweiyuan, your extremely human minister... Otherwise, this time it will not be as simple as dispersing the soul."

The Emperor of Heaven stood up slowly, elegantly adjusted his slightly disheveled skirts, and said indifferently:

"If you still hate me after hearing the truth, then since Xie Linyuan is my own son and your half-brother, you have no reason to stay by his side anymore, don't you? Shen Linyan, Learn more and live longer."

He came out of the Heavenly Emperor's residence in a daze. He had already been completely destroyed on the execution platform, and what supported him was only the spiritual consciousness condensed in one breath, and these tiny supports completely collapsed after hearing the truth from the Heavenly Emperor.

A Ruohua, who followed one step behind, raised his eyes, and the man who was walking ahead and supporting him suddenly stopped moving.

He was puzzled, and subconsciously wanted to ask, but before he could say anything, the man fell down in a daze.

The medicinal power of the Emperor of Heaven lost its effect by the time, and the dazzling bright red was penetrating into the clothes at a speed visible to the naked eye. Shen Linyan instantly turned into a blood man and fell in a pool of blood, and the wound never healed.

A Ruohua was startled, and was about to call for someone, but unexpectedly, she was pushed away by a force as soon as she turned around.

The tall figure quickly picked up Shen Linyan and ran towards Ziweiyuan in the north.

A Ruohua opened his mouth, and waited until the person walked away before he recovered his energy and shouted.

"Congratulations to Emperor Gochen..."
