Chapter 104: Zetian's Past, Xuanwu Inheritance
Memory is like pencil words written on white paper, and memories are like wiping memory with an eraser. Memories are wiping over and over again until they slowly fade, disappear slowly, and slowly become a hole... This is a similar thing Lin Xuan once saw in another book, and he redescribed it in his own way.
Lin Xuan doesn’t like memories very much because he once tried to recall many things, including high school, junior high school, even elementary school, and even kindergarten. Lin Xuan slowly realized that the more he recalled, the more he lost his memory, and in the end he gradually forgot everything. Therefore, Lin Xuan rarely recalled anything. It was not that he was unwilling to recall, but that he was reluctant to recall...
At this moment, what is recalling is not Lin Xuan, but Xuanwu and Wu Mingkong. Before this, Lin Xuan never thought that the famous Xuanwu would have any connection with the same famous Wu Zetian. At most, the name has the word Wu in its name, but unexpectedly, there is actually a connection. People in the history books will not take a little turtle next to Wu Empress seriously, let alone remember it in the book...
Ignoring Lin Xuan's psychological activities at this moment, Wu Mingkong still slowly recalled, as if he had no memories for a thousand years, and he seemed to really miss the beauty of that time and space: "That period was my happiest time, and it was also the happiest time for the queen of the world. Although there were chaos outside, and there were two bastard brothers, the queen of the world's father was like a huge umbrella covering all the wind and rain. The queen of the world was so innocent and romantic in her childhood. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long..."
Lin Xuan also sighed in his heart. He knew what Xuanwu said was not long. His father, Wu Shiteng, was born as a businessman. In that era of scholars, farmers, industrial and commercial affairs, the status of merchants was the lowest. Fortunately, Wu Shiteng was very smart. He helped him when Li Yuan was in the uprising and became a half-official position when the Tang Dynasty was established. Unfortunately, Wu Zetian died when Wu Zetian was twelve years old. Wu Zetian, without the protection of the warrior, suddenly became bad. In addition to the oppression of his two brothers... there are only a few words in history books, but it was a big blow to the parties involved.
"I don't know how the queen spent the two years after her father died. I only know that the queen grew up very quickly in those two years. The innocent little girl suddenly became strong, tough, and even a little cruel... I kept in her room, from crying at the beginning to expressionless face later. I don't know what she was thinking in a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, because at that time I was just a little turtle, until one day, she ran back and told me that she was going to enter the palace and entered the palace with the greatest power in the world. I don't remember what her expression looked like at that time, I only remember that she seemed to cry again..."
Slowly, Lin Xuan was also brought into that story, one looked at history from another perspective, one looked at Wu Zetian from another perspective, and one real Wu Zetian...
Then Xuanwu tells how Wu Zetian secretly brought it into the palace, how she got from a talented person who was not even as good as a palace maid to a celebrity in front of Li Shimin, how she secretly met and fell in love with Li Zhi, how she met and catered to two generations of emperors at the same time...
"I remember that Emperor Li Shimin passed away that year, and there was a slight tension inside and outside the palace. Although I was not as smart as I am now, even I could feel the atmosphere at that time. I don't know what the Queen of Heaven had made secretly with Emperor Li Zhi, but I knew that during that period, the Queen of Heaven went out to find the Emperor, and then the Queen of Heaven followed those concubines of Li Shimin to Ganye Temple..."
Real stories always have real feelings, and Daoyuan has never spoken from beginning to end. He is not a person from this civilized era, and does not understand the intrigue in the palace. Unlike Lin Xuan, who can feel the storm and past events that imagine... Looking at Lin Xuan sometimes sighing, sometimes nervous, sometimes happy Daoyuan is a little confused. Perhaps this is just a story for Daoyuan...
"... After the Empress of Heaven defeated Queen Wang and ascended the position of Queen, I became open and upright and stopped hiding. At that time, I also grew up a lot, probably as big as this stone table..." As she said that, Xuanwu pointed to the table in front of her and continued, "When Empress Wu took a boat tour and walked to Dongting Lake, I suddenly felt something was summoning me..."
Lin Xuan's heart was shocked. This was probably the key to turning a little turtle into a Xuanwu. Unexpectedly, the inheritance of Xuanwu would be in Dongting Lake... Dongting Lake a thousand years ago must have been very large...
"I skipped off the boat regardless of the Queen's obstruction. I still remember that many people jumped down with me at that time, but humans did not swim faster than me. The summoning became stronger and stronger. I slowly walked into a space. I only realized there that I had the blood of ancient Xuanwu on my body. With the call of blood, I became a new generation of Xuanwu and had powerful power. Two days later, I floated up from the bottom. At this time, my spiritual intelligence was completely opened. The Queen did not leave, but waited for me to come back. After that, I stayed by the Queen's side. I knew one day that she wanted to conquer the highest right. I didn't know what would be born, so I put me back to the sea. I don't know what happened afterwards... Lin Xuan, are you willing to accept the inheritance of Xuanwu?"
"Ah? What?" Lin Xuan was so enthused when suddenly Xuanwu said something that caught Lin Xuan off guard... Isn't he talking about Wu Zetian? Why did he get involved with him? This turning point is too casual, too sudden!
"I said, are you willing to accept the inheritance of Xuanwu?" Wu Mingkong looked at Lin Xuan seriously, and it didn't seem like he was a fake...
Lin Xuan looked at Daoyuan beside him. Daoyuan was his master and was qualified to speak if he accepted the inheritance Daoyuan.
Daoyuan saw Lin Xuan's eyes, pondered for a moment and said, "This is your opportunity, you can take it yourself..." Then he ignored Lin Xuan and drank Zhuyeqing on his own...
Lin Xuan was choked by Daoyuan and said, "I don't know what to choose. He turned around and looked at Xuanwu and said, "Li Xin's fate is Zhuque, and the senior is even more of the blood of Xuanwu. Are I qualified to accept the inheritance of Xuanwu?"
This is not Lin Xuan’s self-deprecating or something, but in Lin Xuan’s mind, the inheritance of the Four Gods is conditional, not anyone can pass on it, and he should not have met the conditions for inheritance. Lin Xuan himself still understands this. He is an ordinary human from the inside out...
Wu Mingkong smiled and said, "The inheritance conditions of Xuanwu are not as complicated as you imagined. Your fate is chaotic and irresponsible. Chaos represents tolerance and omnipotence. Now you just want to make a decision, do you want to accept my inheritance?"
