"Actually, at that time, the magical medicine that Tam used ghost needle grass as a medicine primer could not really make me immortal. At best, it could only temporarily stabilize my situation. What really restored my health and appearance was the big Thunder Magician's 'Magic Face Curse'." The queen revealed another truth.

Zhiming was not surprised, he always believed that immortality is just a beautiful legend.

"Before I left, the great thunder magician secretly cast the magic face curse on me, which not only made the pain disappear, but also restored me to my former appearance; however, this could not last long, and the caster would have to damage a lot of morals .I always thought it was the effect of the magic medicine, but later I found out that it was the great thunder magician who was saving me. He couldn't bear to let me know that the ghost needle grass I found through twists and turns could not be used to refine the elixir of life." The Queen's There are dark clouds on his face.

"How did His Majesty learn the truth later?" Zuo Mu asked.

"One day after returning to China, I suddenly thought: Why didn't Tamm take the magic medicine he made? Didn't he want to live forever? It was the big thunder magician who really solved the mystery for me. He came to find Pass me." The Queen told the truth.

"Has he been here before?" Zuo Mu felt incredible.

"That's right. One day, he used a kind of magical technique and appeared here without warning. He told me the truth and said that there are only two ways to achieve immortality: [-]. Absorb the brilliance of a young woman, but the person who is sucked must have a certain special element in the body. This kind of person is extremely rare, and it can be said that there is no one in a million, and it will happen once in a hundred years. The second is to give me the magic soul ball in his body; at the same time, he himself It will also age and die quickly. Although he was willing to use the second method to save me, I still declined. He has already lost his strength to save me, and I can't let him sacrifice more." The queen's eyes were sad like A pool of stagnant water.

"Master Dalei is willing to help you like this, could it be that he..." Zhiming didn't have the nerve to say it.

"That's right, it's exactly what you think. Feelings are like a latent illness. One day it will come quietly, and it will only catch you off guard. He is sincere to me, but unfortunately I don't love him. I just take advantage of his untimely love." To realize my selfish desires. I admit, I am more selfish in this regard." The queen felt ashamed of the big thunder magician.

"This is a love affair in a foreign country that shouldn't exist...I never thought that people who fell into the devil world would have feelings. If he hadn't saved the queen, I might be the one who fell today." Zhiming thought happily.

"He didn't force me to accept the magic soul ball, but he promised that one day when he fell down, he would definitely deliver this ball to me." The queen stared at the light ball in her hand, filled with emotion, "Later, he put The method of absorbing the brilliance of women taught me that if I meet a qualified person in the future, I must not hesitate to make a move; if I miss it, I will have to wait another 100 years."

"It seems that your Majesty's going to Shenyinshan to practice the secret art of retaining face is just a stopgap measure?" Zhiming began to understand.

"Yes, although the secret art of retaining face cannot achieve immortality, it is better than nothing. I rely on the secret art of retaining face to exorcise the disease and survive till now. Since the palace is too conspicuous and it is inconvenient to publicize, I use the Yuan of guarding Jizo Hades In the name of God, I stayed and practiced in the Tower of Sunrise in the Dark Mountain of God. Of course, due to my secret whereabouts, almost no one knows my real-time status." The queen said mysteriously.

"I see. This can explain why no one has ever seen the queen go up the mountain." Zhiming thought.

"The cultivation process went smoothly at first, but due to frequent natural disasters, civil riots, and foreign wars, state affairs disturbed my heart and made me unable to meditate. In desperation, I had no choice but to appoint Himissa as the assistant king. I was involved in politics, devoted myself to cultivation, and hoped to survive until the qualified person appeared. But the effect of cultivation became worse as I got to the later stage. When a large amount of hair began to fall out on the top of my head, I knew that the secret technique of beauty preservation could not last long. "The queen recounted the bitter past.

"Did that person show up later?" Zhiming asked knowingly.

"This is the second secret that this king will reveal. In fact, Cai Yan was not taken away, she has been staying in the palace." The queen threw out the second cannon.

Zhiming had expected it a long time ago and was not surprised; Zuo Mu was rather surprised.

The queen hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's just that she is different from the past. I sucked away her brilliance, and she is only left with a shell."

Zuo Mu was stunned: "Your Majesty's intention is..."

"That's right, Cai Yan is the person the king has been waiting for. Now she looks like a 70-year-old woman." The queen said bluntly.

Zhiming's heart was full of ups and downs. In his vision, Cai Yan should not have such a fate.

"After failing to practice well, I once fell into the abyss of despair. My body was as thin as dry wood, and my body and spirit were useless. Even the Sun Goddess attached to my body could not help me escape the control of death. Seeing that the sunlight in my body is gradually being Corrupted by the shadow of death, Cai Yan descended on the country like a fairy, this is simply a life-saving straw in the torrent! It was she who let me see a ray of dawn in the slit." The queen's face was full of light.

"Three years ago, Cai Yan was presented to me by the Emperor of Yidu Kingdom as a tribute. At that time, I was suffering from illness and I had no intention of governing. My younger brother took care of all the big and small matters, and even arranged for the succession ceremony. Okay. I didn't know that Cai Yan was the person I needed. Seeing that she was quite talented, I placed her in the Shenzhi Pavilion and was taken care of by Mu Yue's master. At that time, Mu Yue hadn't entered the palace yet. Yan recommended her to come in, and they knew each other before. If I had known about Himizo's bestiality, I might not have arranged this way; in retrospect, it is really a coincidence of fate." The queen lamented that the world is unpredictable.

"Shortly after, Muyue entered the Shenzhi Pavilion. Her master, the previous Shenzhi Secretary Xia Ying, admired her very much, and recommended to me many times that Muyue would be the next Shenzhi Secretary. I was absent-minded at the time, so I He wrote the letter of appointment and promulgation order in advance, and handed them over to Xia Ying. This incident accidentally reached the ears of Himizuo, which made him see Xia Ying as a thorn in his side, and planted his murderous intentions. Later, Himisuo designed and killed Xia Ying. Fortunately, Xia Ying saved her hand and entrusted someone to promulgate the letter of appointment before she died, so that Mu Yue officially became the new generation of gods." The Queen revealed the real cause of Master Mu Yue's death for the first time.

"Muyue has always dared not speak out against Himizo's beastly behavior. He thought that he would restrain himself after he took over the position; he didn't expect him to intensify, completely disregarding the bottom line, and clearly challenging the divine right. When he knew that Master was killed by him, Unable to bear it, Mutsuki began to plot revenge, and turned to Musashi, and with his help, formed an alliance with the Goguryeo people..." The queen was eloquent and eloquent, as if she knew everything about Mutsuki.

"Then how did Your Majesty discover that Cai Yan is different?" Zhiming asked.

"Hemizu once conspired against Cai Yan and was rescued by Muyue. Muyue discovered it by accident; I happened to be nearby, so I knew about it. I realized at that time that I would be reborn again, so I strengthened my control over Cai Yan. protection." The Queen spoke of her excitement, her face flushed red, as if she had just bathed in the morning glow.

"Later, I met Cai Yan in private and complained to her. I thought I would have to persuade her, but I didn't expect that she would be willing to give her glory. So, I traded her youth for her current appearance. Afterwards, I still often came to God’s Dark Mountain in the name of practicing secret arts, in addition to guarding the magic pot, there was another reason: it was convenient to meet the great thunder magician.” The Queen’s revelations became more and more fierce.

"Could it be... you want to engage in tower shaking?" Zhiming thought again.

"...I can't understand you. The tower of the sunrise is the best place for me to meet him, because no one knows. When you entered the mountain, we happened to be in the tower, and your identity information was quickly taken away by the ghost warrior. Read it and uploaded it. Dalei Magician immediately told me that one of them happened to be his old enemy that he wanted to get rid of day and night. He had confronted him twice in Dahan and lost by a narrow margin. Now he finally has a chance to avenge his shame. So, he used thaumaturgy to remotely light stone lamps to illuminate the way up the mountain for you. When you reached the top of the mountain, he suddenly worried that you might accidentally hurt me during the fight, so he used magic to teleport me back to the palace first. ..." The queen said everything without concealment.

"So that's it. It seems that the Great Thunder Demon Master didn't come to this country to chase me down. It's just a big coincidence! In this way, he went to deal with General Guan Yu temporarily just to anger me! It was me. Killed General Guan!" Thinking of this, Zhiming was very worried.

"Cai Yan just showed up when I needed it the most. Isn't it a gift from heaven to me? I thought Dalei Magician could save his life, but I didn't expect him to be defeated by you." The queen didn't pay attention to Zhiming's expression. There was a slight change, and a silver ripple appeared from the corner of his eyes.

"Cai Yan... did she really do it voluntarily?" Zhiming couldn't help asking.

"Yes, she is a kind and stubborn person. I told her the truth and asked for her opinion. She sympathized with my situation. After learning that I was the incarnation of the sun goddess, she didn't say anything She agreed to dedicate her life. Before she grew old, she left a sentence: The flowers bloom without a period, and the flowers will eventually fall; when the flowers bloom, the branches are full of fragrance, and when the flowers fall, the dust returns to heaven.”

"What do you mean?" the two asked together.

"My understanding at the time was: people's birth is accidental, and death is inevitable; no matter how brilliant their achievements were during their lifetime, they are nothing but a handful of loess after death. The subtext is that she believes that her glory days are gone forever, and there is no hope of returning to China in this life. If you have nothing to love in your life, why don't you dedicate your youth to me, hoping to sublimate your soul through my sacred body." The Queen's tone was full of gratitude.

Zuo Mu unconsciously thought of Qian Qing, and at this moment Qian Qing's soul also turned into a spirit spirit and attached to him, accompanying him through the rest of his samurai career.

Zhiming also thought of Xuechan, who may not be destined in this life, but through some means, the souls of the two can be merged into one.

"If Cai Yan is still in the palace, who was the one who was robbed?" Zhiming suddenly thought of this.

"It's just a substitute. In fact, Jiuyin didn't die. He used the 'head-changing concealment technique' to make you think he was dead. The person who was robbed was Cai Yan's substitute. Jiuyin performed the head-changing concealment on him. The technique is enough to blind the eyes of the world, including Mu Yue. I think this is the best explanation for Cai Yan." The queen seems to be a person who values ​​affection, not a tyrant in the eyes of the world.

"Could it be that the prince and Muyue didn't find out that the later Cai Yan was a substitute?" Zhiming wasn't too surprised that Jiuyin didn't die. He had expected that Zuo Mu wouldn't be able to easily defeat him.

"After getting old, Cai Yan asked me to keep her secret from the outside world and place her in a secret place, isolated from the world, until she died. She told me not to tell Muyue, for fear that Muyue would know her current situation. That's why I considered Finding a substitute was also approved by Cai Yan. After a thousand choices, I finally found a substitute who was exactly the same as Cai Yan in all aspects, and let Jiuyin perform a trick. After Cai Yan lived in seclusion, the substitute was not known to the world. , Only God knows. Later I found out that there was another reason for Cai Yan to do this, which was to get rid of Himizo's clutches. I dote on this younger brother too much, and I feel sorry for her." The Queen said with deep guilt.

"If Heaven knows and Earth knows, Heavenly Dragon God should also know, why didn't he tell Muyue?" Zhiming really couldn't figure this out.

The queen pursed her lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, you will find out later."

"Is she really not going to leave here?" Zhiming thinks that even though Cai Yan has become gray-haired, her homesickness is still the same.

"Unfortunately, God made a deadly joke with her. Even if she returns to China, her identity will not be recognized by the world. I admit that I harmed her, but I have no choice. When the double was taken away, I seriously thought about it. After a while, I found that I was wrong at the beginning, and what Cai Yan wanted to express should be far more than that." The Queen stared forward.

"I understand what she means. 'Flowers bloom' represents the rise of the new dynasty, and 'flowers fall' represents the decline of the old dynasty. The first half of the sentence refers to: A new country will be born at any time, but there will always be a day when it will fall and perish.' "Xiangmanzhi" represents peace, and "Dust returns to heaven" represents the tragedy after the war. The second half of the sentence refers to: when the new dynasty rises, there will always be a peaceful and prosperous autumn, but as long as there are human beings, there will be wars, which is inevitable Yes. Regardless of whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, it will lead to the decline of the country, allowing foreign countries to take advantage of the situation and swallow it up. In other words, she hinted that His Majesty should stop deliberately launching wars, and don't let the mainland become a world full of bones and sorrows. Hell. She hopes to exchange her brilliance for peace in the world." Zhiming explained Cai Yan's "last words" in a simple and simple way.

The Queen was deeply moved by these words, she did not expect that the young man in front of her could be so discerning about right and wrong, with a mind like this.She couldn't help it for a while, two lines of tears poured down, and said: "The correct answer. This king only realized it recently, so I settled down and thought for a long time, and finally got the answer. I figured it out, no matter how many wars It will not bring about permanent peace, it will only lead to more wars; therefore, this king will never wage wars again, except for defense wars. I will do what I say, and this can be regarded as a reward for Cai Yan’s life-saving grace.”

Hearing this, Zuo Mu's previous doubts were finally swept away, he couldn't help but knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"To say thank you is to throw yourself into the ground?" Zhiming felt that the etiquette here was too exaggerated.

"Don't get too excited. Just because I don't send troops doesn't mean Himizo won't send troops. Sooner or later, this country will be controlled by him. He will be the real monarch of Yamatai Kingdom in the future." The Queen helped Zuo Mu up and said solemnly, "You guys Understand that the days of peace are shorter than war, and the best way to avoid war is to have a rich country and a strong army, right?"

The two nodded thoughtfully.Zhiming saw in her eyes a strategic map that was being engulfed in flames, and it seemed that her ambition was slowly fading.Although it is difficult to understand, the fact is like this. Maybe it is the actions of Cai Yan and Dalei Magician who influenced her; coupled with the efforts of Zhiming and the two of them, she was greatly enlightened.
