The Lotus Lantern is with you

Five years can be said to be fast or slow.

Mo Chen looked at the half-empty bed beside him, without any warmth.

How long has it been? Mo Chen put on his robe and walked towards the study room. Sure enough, he saw that the candle was still on.

Mo Chen felt strange, but he couldn't tell why. It seemed that they talked a lot less during this time.

Pushing away the desk, sure enough, the man was lying on the desk, already asleep.

Official documents were placed in a mess on the table, the oil lamp on one side had been burned out, and the writing brush was casually put aside, it seemed that he was holding a crumpled white paper with something vaguely written on it.

Mo Chen was amazed. On this table, there was no trace of official documents being flipped. What was this man doing all night without sleep?

He reached out with his hand, but before he could touch it, the man was already awake.

He opened his eyes suddenly and moved quickly. When he saw Mo Chen, he quickly rolled up the paper in his hand and avoided Mo Chen's hand.

"...Shen?" Mo Chen felt that his eyes seemed a little strange, but in an instant, those eyes suddenly softened. "Why so early?"

"I saw that you didn't go back to your room, so I was a little worried, so I came to take a look." Mo Chen calmly glanced at the ball of paper, and then observed the man who seemed to have not changed much from usual, his heart sank.

"Are you busy these days?" He walked behind the man and combed his long hair. The cold strands of hair passed through his fingers in his hand, making Mo Chen a little dazed.

"kindness."

After a long time, Mo Chen had gradually stopped what he was doing, and the man stood up and stood in front of him, still dressed in white and black hair, as if... for so long, he had always stood by his side like this.

Suddenly, his body warmed up, and Mo Chen was suddenly hugged by the other party, and Yang Jian's deep voice rang in his ears, "Shen, I have something to leave the heavenly realm."

Mo Chen was taken aback, "Well, I see."

"...I will come back as soon as possible, wait for me..."

……

Mo Chen looked at the undried rice paper, which was stained with patches of ink, and he lost his mind again. Looking at the out-of-the-ordinary paintings on the rice paper, Mo Chen simply put down his pen and crumpled the rice paper into a ball.

It has been several months since Yang Jian left. Looking at his slender fingers, it's not that he didn't notice the strangeness of the man. He just believed in the other party, but trusting him alone couldn't solve any problems. This man seemed to be too busy .

In the heavens, the golden light is still shining, and the auspicious clouds are floating.

"Pa..." Mo Chen held a sunspot, blocking the opponent's way.

The Jade Emperor paused holding the chess piece, then picked up the white piece, and rubbed it carefully, "Mo Chen, I'm really surprised, why don't you go to the Temple of Justice, why come to my Yuqing Palace?"

Mo Chen said leisurely, "I heard that Your Majesty's Yuqing Palace is very beautiful and magnificent. I am quite curious, and I want to come and see how the Yuqing Palace is so admired by the immortals."

"Oh?" The Jade Emperor said with a smile, "I see that you are tired of staying in the Judiciary Palace, and you have taken a fancy to my palace."

"Your Majesty was joking." Mo Chen knew that the emperor was testing whether he was interested in the throne.

"Then Mo Chen, what do you think of my palace? Is it more to your liking than Yang Jian's Zhenjun Temple?" The Jade Emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and began to tease him.

"It lives up to its reputation, it is really majestic and gorgeous, it is a must in the fairy world, but..."

"Just what?" The Jade Emperor was curious, could it be that his palace is not as good as a true emperor's temple?

"It's just that this Yuqing Palace is a bit empty and deserted. I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable to live in after a long time." Mo Chen said calmly.

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor suddenly burst out laughing, "Haha, Mo Chen, Mo Chen, I have been sitting in this position for thousands of years, and I despise my Yuqing Palace, but you are the second."

A dark light flashed across Mo Chen's eyes, "The second one? I don't know that the first one is Goddess Mingshang?"

Bai Zi paused, and the Jade Emperor held the wine glass as if nothing had happened, and sipped lightly, "I thought that few people in the Three Realms would know Mingshang's name, how did you know it?"

Mo Chen remained indifferent.

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "I forgot, you are from that world, you are from the same world, if you know each other, it's not surprising."

"?!" Mo Chen was shocked, did Mingshang come from hell?

The Jade Emperor didn't seem to see Mo Chen's surprised expression, because when he heard those two words, he was already lost in memory, but soon, he came back to his senses and said meaningfully.

"Mo Chen, if you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, tell me, but what can I help you with?"

"Your Majesty is worrying too much. I only thought that after the Queen Mother of the West left, this Yuqing Palace would become colder and colder. I thought that Your Majesty had been in a high position for a long time and was very bored, so I only played a few games with Your Majesty."

"Oh, I didn't know you would be so leisurely." The Jade Emperor put down his wine glass, with a hint of a smile in his words, "I think it's fake for you to come to see me, I'm afraid it's true to come here to be lazy. I heard that the official documents in the Zhenjun Temple are almost piled up on the roof, why, you have the heart to let Erlang God handle it alone?"

The Jade Emperor remembered that he hadn't seen Yang Jian for a long time, and gave Mo Chen an ambiguous look.

"Of course I can't bear it." Mo Chen held his wine glass calmly, took a sip, and said leisurely, "So, this is not here to set up a relationship with His Majesty. If His Majesty is happy, he can reduce some government affairs, or find someone else." Do it, I am really grateful.”

"..." The Jade Emperor's gaze darkened, and Mo Chen didn't care, and let him look at it.

"Crack!" Being bet on the road again, the Jade Emperor didn't care. "Mo Chen, I admire you, and I also intend to win you over...I hope that the person I will cooperate with is you."

"It's Mo Chen's honor that His Majesty has taken a fancy to Mo Chen, but I have no choice but to decline His Majesty's kindness." Mo Chen guessed that the Jade Emperor probably wanted him to stay and continue to work for him, so he refused tactfully.

"..."

"..."

"I know what you want to say? Mo Chen, although the Demon Realm has become much more stable after being sealed, but for thousands of years, the movement of the Demon Race has become more and more frequent. I have heard about your going to the Demon Realm before. , you must also know that the Demon Realm has changed its master now, and the Demon King is treacherous and unpredictable, acting perversely, which is really unpredictable."

Mo Shen remained silent, only listening to the Jade Emperor's words mixed with a few traces of anger, "The demon world has always been independent, does not take the majesty of the heaven in its eyes, and acts against the rules of heaven. It is really a serious illness in my heart."

Mo Chen raised his eyebrows, listening to Jade Emperor's tone, he seemed to be dissatisfied with the Demon Realm for a long time, maybe he wanted to win him over to attack the Demon Realm.

"Your Majesty heard that 300 million years ago, the Goddess Hades sealed the demons and reversed the battle between gods and demons, allowing the God Realm to gain control over this world, but I saw that the seal was broken? Your Majesty knew Goddess Hades, I think I should know the sealing method."

"Mo Chen, there is no absolute light in these three realms. Good and evil intersect, and light and darkness coexist. From a certain point of view, the way of heaven has always been fair." Jade Emperor said slowly.

"..."

"So that's the case. I mentioned to you that the seal was opened by an outsider. I was terrified at the time, but now I understand." Mo Chen tentatively said, "I have seen that seal, there are only two, but it is extremely complicated. It's just that The runes are blurred, and new runes have been added, it should be reset by someone who knows the seal."

"Oh? Mo Chen, are you doubting what I've done?" Jade Emperor finally heard the implication and said amusedly.

"Hehe, the only ones in this world who can understand this formation are Goddess Mingshang and Your Majesty, aren't they?"

"Hahahaha, Mo Chen, if you weren't interested in this world, and I appreciate your talent, I could have condemned you just based on your words."

"If His Majesty wants to condemn you, it's not the only one." Mo Chen said indifferently.

"You are straightforward." The Jade Emperor sighed. "However, Mo Chen, you guessed wrong this time. My Nine Heavens Supreme, I don't have the habit of asking for trouble."

Isn't it him?Mo Chen was slightly startled. He heard that there was something in the words of the cockroach in the past, and he still said that it was the Jade Emperor. He knew that the emperor was cruel, but he didn't bother to tell lies.

But the Jade Emperor sighed and shook his head, and looked at the chess game with regret, "Mo Chen's chess skills are really brilliant, and the game I finally set up was broken by your sunspots. It's really scary for future generations."

Mo Chen's heart skipped a beat.The emperor's heart has always been unpredictable, and the other party is hinting at something.

"However, seeing your expression, I think it's worth losing."

Mo Chen pursed his lips, his face darkened, "Your Majesty, don't joke."

"I know you don't believe me, it's okay, how about I make a bet with you?" Seeing his ugly face, the Jade Emperor thought that he didn't believe what he said.

"You want to regret the move?" Mo Chen looked at Bai Zi, there was no way out.

"En? Why, I can't regret this move."

"I only know that the emperor keeps his promises, and it seems that he acts like this." Mo Chen sneered.

"It's true that the emperor should make a promise, but that's for the world. As for the back, as long as the goal can be achieved, why care about the process?" The Jade Emperor played with the smooth and cold chess piece in his hand and smiled. A gamble?"

In the lower realm, the horn of war sounded, the Mongolian army marched south, and the Xixia war raged.

Wars have always been accompanied by natural and man-made disasters, floods, droughts, locust plagues, and plagues have ravaged this land wantonly, and Xixia is in chaos.

After all, this remote village failed to escape the disaster, and more and more people died.

Xiaoyu held the glass cup, the blue glass cup glowed with a faint halo, Xiaoyu's steps were very steady, and the liquid in the glass cup did not shake at all.

Suddenly there was a noise from the crowd, Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, they had been in this village for a month, but they didn't want to come here. Not long after, the place was infected with the plague, but Yang Chan's body became weaker and weaker, and Liu Yanchang His physical condition also got worse.

They decided to stay here for the time being.

Liu Yanchang knew some medical skills, so he asked Xiaoyu to pick some medicines to help the villagers. If he hadn't become weaker and weaker, he could have saved many people.

Xiaoyu heard the people outside seem to be yelling 'eliminate the demon', and she shook her head.

The glazed lamp in her hand trembled slightly, she had actually guessed something vaguely, when she opened the bedroom, they were indeed not there, and the whole small courtyard was terribly silent and cold.

The items at the front door were scattered on the ground in a mess, as if they had been turned over by many people, and the place was in a mess.And the blood stains on the ground pierced into her eyes, causing dazzling pain, Xiaoyu let go of her hand, and the glazed cup slipped and shattered on the ground.

"呲", the liquid in the cup spilled on the grass, and the whole grass was instantly black.

The woman closed her eyes and didn't look at the courtyard again.

She opened the gate of the yard unhurriedly, only to see that the people outside who were walking towards the center of the village stopped.

They looked at the women, and one of them screamed frantically, "There is one more, there is one left, grab her quickly!"

Xiaoyu looked at the people surrounding her, their eyes were filled with strange colors, and their expressions were distorted and crazy. She removed all the magic power from her body, and let them hit her on the ground, and then was tied up.

On the altar in the center of the village, a white-haired, blood-eyed woman was tied to a tall pillar. Her eyes were wide open, she couldn't see or hear.So she didn't know, just beside her, the man who was also tied to the side looked sad.

Xiaoyu was pressed to the side of the sacrificial altar by the crowd, and the next moment, amidst the shouts of the crowd, the flames shot up to the sky in front of her eyes, and the flames all over the sky dyed the sky red, and also dyed her blue-purple demonic eyes red.

Among them, the two figures who were burned by the fire were the parents she had called for more than ten years.

The woman screamed in pain in the fire, but she couldn't hear her voice. By the way, she couldn't speak anymore. The toxin eventually eroded the five senses and lost all consciousness.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu remained indifferent, but watched Liu Yanchang angrily struggled to break away from the rope, but couldn't escape the flames, and finally they embraced together.

The woman's lips opened and closed, Xiaoyu knew that she was calling the names of Liu Yanchang and Chen Xiang.

"Agarwood..."

……

Mo Chen's heart skipped a beat, feeling that something was wrong, he clutched his chest, just for a moment, he seemed to hear his mother's voice.

"Why, Mo Chen, do you want to make a bet with me?" The Jade Emperor didn't seem to care about Mo Chen's strange reaction, but repeated what he said just now.

"What bet does Your Majesty want to bet?" Mo Chen frowned, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.

"I am the Lord of the Three Realms. Since you just said that the emperor wants to keep his word, I will not regret this game. I have never lost a game of chess since I took the throne, so I will bet on this game... What do you think?"

"I don't have any objections." Mo Chen looked at the chess game in his hands. This seemed to be the last move, and he was afraid that he would lose.

"Cheer up! Didn't Mo Chen want to know who broke the seal?"

"Your Majesty knows?"

"If I don't even know this, then I will be ashamed of being called the Jade Emperor. Mo Chen, if you win, I will tell you who that person is? If I win, you will have to punish yourself with three cups. "

Mo Chen laughed loudly, "Your Majesty's bet is worth it no matter whether you win or lose!"

"It's just a game, why take it so seriously? But, I just feel sorry for the lack of a few glasses of Yuqiong wine." The Jade Emperor seemed to have decided that Mo Chen would lose, and sighed regretfully.

Mo Chen smiled, "Your Majesty can rest assured, your Majesty's three glasses of fine wine can be kept."

As he said, when he turned his hand, Heizi was about to fall.Suddenly... Mo Chen was shocked, he seemed to feel that some kind of fetters on his body had disappeared.The feeling of uneasiness just now became more and more intense.

He suddenly felt a violent distress message coming from the bracelet given to Xiaoyu, and soon, before he could react... the link between the magic circle on the bracelet and him was completely broken.

With a 'crack', Heizi slipped from his fingertips and fell to the ground. Mo Chen stood up in a panic and took a few steps back.

Disappeared!All gone!He looked at the Jade Emperor in disbelief.

"What's wrong? But what happened?" The man in the yellow robe looked at him in surprise.

Mo Chen caressed his chest, where it throbbed violently. In an instant, the blood in his whole body was frozen.He pushed the chair away in panic and teleported away.

The Jade Emperor pinched the sunspot and smiled.

"Although it was a good game, it's a pity, Mo Chen." The chessboard turned into ashes and dissipated.
