Chapter 244: Old Body, Old Heart

Li Shanhe sailed southwards on a secret trip. Li Tianshang was recuperating on the boat. In addition to him, there were two personal guards and several maids on the boat to handle miscellaneous matters.

In fact, there were many capable people in the Lingtian Dynasty, including loyal ministers or monks who had surrendered. However, Li Shanhe was always suspicious and used to doing things by himself, so he did not dare to let too many people participate in such private matters, even those involving his reputation.

Besides, in this world, it is difficult to distinguish between human and ghost.

Since leaving Lingtian City, the boat had to stop for several days because of the ice on the river, which delayed the journey and led to being caught up by Li Tianyu.

Li Tianyu got on the boat and tried his best to persuade Li Shanhe.

Listening to his words, Li Shanhe's face showed a moving expression. After all, he was a king. After a few days, he gradually calmed down, but he did not return by the same route. Instead, he continued to drive towards Longcheng. It can be seen that he was still hesitant and could not make a conclusion.

Li Tianyu sighed that his father was really old. He was no longer the king who was determined to rule a continent. Now he was like an old man seeking revenge, or more like an old man who lost face and was frantically trying to get it back.

He knew that if he wanted his father to stop this behavior, he could only give him a strong medicine!

That night, Li Tianyu got off the boat and rode south. After several days of running, he arrived in Longcheng. He walked into a temple full of incense.

He bowed to the statue of the mother of the river in the center.

Then he looked around and saw a wooden bench. He walked over and sat down, waiting quietly.

Not long after.

A woman came out from the depths of the temple. If anyone was here, they would definitely recognize that the appearance of this woman was almost exactly the same as that of the golden statue.

Although there are many temples in Lingtianzhou, if you want to find a temple that looks almost the same as the golden statue and Muqin, there are actually only a few golden temples built by the Lingtian Dynasty at the beginning.

And those temples are also the most important temples for Muqin.

It is where her roots are.

The statues of subsequent temples, whether they are golden, bronze, or clay, can only be seven points similar at most. Some in more remote places are even only five or even three points similar.

There is nothing to do about it.

"What do you want to see me for?" Muqin asked softly, holding a whisk with a golden pattern on her forehead.

She glanced at Li Tianyu.

The last time she had an intersection with this prince was during the Buddhist City incident. It has been decades in a flash. This time is really fast.

Li Tianyu said: "Immortal, this is a long story."

He told Muqin roughly what happened.

Mu Qin's pupils shrank when she heard this. She had never thought that so many things would happen after a few days of seclusion. When she heard that Li Shanhe wanted to use Dragon City for blood sacrifice, she was stunned and even suspected that she had heard it wrong.

She had seen Li Shanhe's supreme immortality. He was one of the most dazzling people in that brilliant era. His achievements were enough to make the whole world remember him.

I don't think he would do such a thing.

However, what Li Tianyu said was true and didn't seem to be a lie, which made Mu Qin frown slightly, "I'll go see him."

Li Tianyu bowed and saluted. Now only Mu Qin could convince Li Shanhe.

He left the River Mother Temple with a complicated expression.

In my impression, the majestic figure of my father seemed to be getting dimmer and dimmer.

The king who forcibly demolished the town transportation device and unified the world with a desperate momentum, now wants to sacrifice a city for personal revenge.

In the end, is it really for revenge?

Li Tianyu couldn't tell the difference. He thought that his father was doing it for "face".

Li Tianyu sighed, wondering which one was the real father.

......

It is said that all rivers in the world are under the jurisdiction of the river mother. Li Shanhe and Li Tianshang chose to take the waterway, so they naturally could not escape Mu Qin's eyes.

One day.

It was when the sails were lowered and the boat was resting.

A woman visited the imperial ship.

She walked lightly, wearing a Taoist skirt and holding a whisk, and slowly walked into the imperial ship. The imperial ship had two floors. The interior decoration was extremely luxurious, but the appearance was just ordinary. I think it was designed to be out for a parade and it should not be too eye-catching.

The woman walked in it, which was out of tune with the magnificent decorations beside her.

Not long after, she finally saw Li Shanhe.

As soon as they met.

The woman slowly extended her left index finger, without too many words, a terrifying breath brewed.

Li Shanhe sensed the fluctuations and his expression suddenly changed. He climbed up from the dragon chair and stumbled back a few steps, his expression out of control.

He said in horror: "You are crazy! Why do you use 'pointing to the sky'!"

As the voice fell, the woman's breath gradually calmed down. She looked at Li Shanhe deeply and sighed: "You are really old."

"If it was before, you wouldn't hide so embarrassedly." Mu Qin added, with a little disappointment in her eyes.

"Don't make such a joke next time." Li Shanhe frowned, a little angry, and sat back in his previous seat.

Mu Qin looked at him deeply, remained silent for a few seconds, turned around and left, "Don't even think about the blood sacrifice."

Mu Qin walked to the door, suddenly stopped, turned back and said: "Also, this is your personal grudge, I have no right to ask, but if you dare to harm innocent people, even if it's not Longcheng, I will take action."

A golden light flashed in her eyes, "Take care of yourself."

Li Shanhe looked at her leaving back, his face was extremely ugly.

The aura of "pointing to the sky" just now still makes him a little frightened.

"Pointing to the sky" is one of the top three in the hundred unique techniques.

Throughout the ages.

There are no more than five people who can comprehend it!

......

After leaving the imperial wheel, Mu Qin walked alone to the bank of a quiet river. She looked at the waning moon reflected in the river, and her thoughts were complicated.

After a while, she took out a white fruit from her arms, threw it into the river, and turned away.

The white fruit sank into the river and floated away to an unknown place.

......

A few days later.

Li Shanhe sailed back to Lingtian Imperial City quietly.

His child Li Tianshang caught a cold on the way back. Even though he took a lot of precious medicine to save his life, he couldn't survive and died on the way.

Li Shanhe watched and remained silent.

He returned to his bedroom and stood in front of a bronze mirror. For a moment, he couldn't believe that the old man standing in front of the bronze mirror was actually himself.

Recalling the past, he was wearing armor and standing in front of this bronze mirror, so high-spirited and majestic...

He looked down at his palm, thinking of the warning and the embarrassed look when he came back, and finally sighed.

He was really old.

It was this sigh.

All his energy was instantly drained away, like a dying person, letting out his last breath, and he instantly looked more than ten times older.

His body was old, and his heart was also old.
