After a moment.

The palace maids dispersed and hid in the shadows everywhere, squatting like statues, motionless.

The warm light passed through the molten iron door and fell outside, showing a long and serrated light and shadow.

In the carriage, the lighting was luxurious, and the light fragrance of the night never sleep made me feel peaceful. Between the fog of tea, the beautiful woman in vermilion clothes and the man like a hill were sitting facing each other.

Although Xia Ji had explained a lot, Concubine Zhen was still a little unbelievable.

She had confirmed that the person in front of her was her son, and she also understood the fact that Xia Ji was still alive, but... she could not understand why her son was so powerful.

Strongness is not a matter of realm, but its own particularity.

Concubine Zhen knew very well that realm was only used to classify ordinary people... For some existences, realm was just a "assisted profile of strength".

Mother and son meet.

Concubine Zhen was also a little confused and didn't know what to do.

She abandoned her child with her own hands. Such a mistake is the fact that a mother cannot forgive her.

After so many years, she couldn't let go.

But for Xia Ji, the beautiful woman in front of him had already paid enough for him... Especially, he had experienced nine reincarnations, and that long meant that Concubine Zhen died nine times for him without hesitation.

Such feelings have been recognized by him.

The mother and son are silent...

This is the first time that we have met face to face in more than 20 years.

Concubine Zhen suddenly said, "You have already stepped on the way to heaven, right? Only those who possess strangeness can have the qualifications...but the risks they bear will also be very high."

Xia Ji said: "It's on the road to the fourth level."

"Has the second kind of strange fire been found?" Concubine Zhen showed a very worried look. "Extraordinary" means strength, and it also means walking between reason and madness. If you want to use the triple different ways to condense the way to heaven, it is difficult to be called a human in your mind.

Xia Ji nodded. Although the second strange fire had not been fully displayed, what he got from the mustard seed sun was undoubtedly strange fire.

What else should Concubine Zhen say?

Xia Ji interrupted: "In two hours, you will die in the mountain tunnel of Mount Tai in the Black Dragon."

"Black Dragon Mount Tai? The land of the ancestral dragon in my dynasty..."

Concubine Zhen fell into thought.

What's strange is that she didn't ask why her son knew about it.

Xia Ji said: "The secret envoy of the Imperial Capital went to the Heilong Mountain Tai for sacrifice in exchange for the truth about the loss of the meat peaches that year... Your head will be cut open, and all the palace maids will do it. I guess it is some way to explore memory."

Concubine Zhen glanced at her son and knew that he knew many secrets, and she was quickly accepting this.

But...

She originally wanted to hide this child and let him live as safely as possible, but now... the child seems to have grown into a mountain that can protect her.

So, Concubine Zhen said: "The truth about the loss of the meat peaches is not important, what they want is the meat peaches themselves.

Emperor, do you know meat?"

Xia Ji nodded: "The demon body fertile soil, and it has peaches falling into the world."

He had known this from Taishang and Dujuan long ago.

In addition to some crazy goblins he had seen, he could fully sense that the peach was full of evil.

Concubine Zhen said: "The meat peach they wanted was the last meat peach that was not polluted, and the true immortal peach... There will be no second in the whole world.

At that time, the former emperor Shun spent his entire life and planned many secret matters before he got the meat peach."

Xia Jiqi said: "Pollution?"

Concubine Zhen nodded solemnly, and she held her chin and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the shadows of the world are rapidly regressing, and the moonlight shines on the cold railroad tracks pale, just like this seemingly prosperous but without any temperature.

The train made a harsh sound along the tracks.

Concubine Zhen's face was also illuminated half-light and half-dark.

She looked at the man in front of her quietly, as if confirming whether he was qualified to accept some truth.

After a long time, as if she made a decision, she spoke with an unprecedented solemn voice: "Pollution."

Then he quickly said: "The gods have died in the thirty-three days, and the Buddhas on the other side have been destroyed... However, Emperor Shun believed that the flesh and blood of the gods and Buddhas have not yet died.

Just like on the battlefield, even if tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions of soldiers died, their bodies were still there.

The same is true for gods and Buddhas.

And their flesh and blood were mixed together, and then slowly condensed into meat peaches.

The so-called sacrifice of sentient beings, the fertile soil of the demon body is just a small pull.

These meat peaches are called black peaches by those who vaguely guess the truth.

Correspondingly, the normal meat peaches before were called white peaches.

The power of black peaches is actually far greater than that of white peaches.

White peach can only take care of one person, while black peach can continuously affect a large range of people or monsters... making them stronger and making them crazy.

Emperor Shun asked not for the black peach, but the last white peach left on the tree, and it should also be the last white peach in the whole world.

And this white peach... has been eaten by you."

Xia Ji:...

There was a vague guess in his heart.

But I didn't expect my mother to achieve this level.

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "The peach that Mingshan Tong brought you is the white peach, which is definitely not as effective as the black peach, but... this is a safe and pure power.

But...it is precisely because this power is safe and pure, even if it is eaten, it can still be refined."

Concubine Zhen looked at the man in front of her: "In short, you can put you in the alchemy furnace, which is equivalent to putting a white peach in it."

Xia Ji suddenly understood some of the causes and consequences, and he asked:

"You spent a lot of effort on getting this peach? Why don't you eat it yourself?"

Concubine Zhen smiled and didn't say anything.

There are some things that you don't need to say.

Xia Ji said: "I heard that I have a younger brother, Prince Chen, and a younger sister, Princess Yuzhen."

Concubine Zhen smiled and said, "A adoptive."

"Adoption?"

"The emperor...you are always the only child in Wei Niang."

Xia Ji:...

"I have lived enough for my mother and saw through it. I just want to come to this amazing banquet on earth and see the prosperous world. What's the joy of life? Why not die...

But even if I live enough for my mother, I still hope that my existence can leave traces in this world. You are my son...the best evidence of my mother's existence.

You ask why, that's the answer."

Concubine Zhen looked up, stared at him, and smiled brightly.

The mother and son's faces were quite similar, but it can be foreseeable that when Concubine Zhen was young, she must have been a fascinating woman.

Just thinking about how she could quietly seize the white peaches was enough to prove how terrifying the concubine was back then.

After saying these words, Concubine Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the man in front of her and asked, "I will enter the tunnel in less than two hours. Prince, what do you want to do?"

She said these words without any panic.

Xia Ji said: "Get out early and don't enter the tunnel."

Concubine Zhen said: "Don't conflict with Long head-on, and then take a detour to return to the imperial capital?

But since this is what the emperor secretly envoy asked, it is the wish of the emperor today. If the emperor knows this, it must be that something big happened in the palace. Otherwise, the matter of Pantao would have been handled by my mother for a long time and it would not have been found again.

Therefore, the palace cannot return.

Then, all the emperor can do is to take his mother to wander around the world, or bring it to the safe area that the emperor believes is.

But...Don't the emperor know that if you appear here, you will have traces."

Xia Ji smiled when he heard "there are traces".

When Concubine Zhen thought of the strange black fire, she had a vague guess in her heart and said in a daze: "Okay, there is no trace...

But, there are traces when you board this train? Any traces can be traced, and even if you kill someone immediately, it will be difficult to completely erase them.

At that time, the emperor will have to face the dragon, or even the entire dynasty.

So... you are really happy for your mother to be here.
To be continued...
