Chapter 589 Extra: Ji Wuwang (4)
Chapter 589 Extra: Ji Wuwang (4)
Afterwards, the national teacher took Ji Wuwang to the small Buddhist temple on the back mountain of Foguang Temple to practice the method of defying the will of heaven and changing his fate.
He used his three lifetimes of merit and three lifetimes of imperial fortune to exchange for her reincarnation.
The price is that he will be lonely for three lifetimes and will not have a good end.
The cost of this is undoubtedly huge...
He used up his three lives, which could have been brilliant, just to exchange for her rebirth.
When Jiang Wantang knew this, she was heartbroken and could not breathe...
However, even though she was only in spirit form at the moment, she could not get close to the small Buddhist temple in the back mountain.
Soon, a dazzling golden Buddha light emanated from inside...
When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Wantang's consciousness had returned to her body. She stared blankly at the flickering candlelight in the Buddhist temple, her eyes already blurred by tears.
The Imperial Master stood quietly to the side, slowly turning the Buddhist beads in his hand: "Have you seen everything clearly, Madam?"
"That's the answer you wanted."
However, Jiang Wantang shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "No, there is another answer..."
"He..." Her voice choked, "Is there something wrong with his body when he woke up this time?"
"Is it not completely healed, or are there other hidden dangers?"
Otherwise, how can I explain that after waking up again, he chose to turn a blind eye to me and completely draw a line between us?
The Imperial Master was stunned for a moment. As he hesitated, he heard Jiang Wantang say, "I, Imperial Master, please understand. Now that I know all this, I can no longer pretend to know nothing and return to my previous life."
The Imperial Master was silent for a moment, then looked up at the gradually brightening sky outside the Buddhist temple. The copper bells on the eaves were blown by the breeze, making clear sounds, as if sighing over the cause and effect that had entangled two lifetimes.
"Forget it..." He sighed deeply, and finally clasped his hands together slowly: "Some fate is God's will."
"Originally, the prince didn't want you to know this, but now it seems that he can't hide it anymore."
"Your Majesty's guess is correct. Although the prince has luckily saved his life after waking up this time, his vitality has been severely damaged, and the disaster has spread to the root cause."
"Now, he only has less than ten years to live..."
Jiang Wantang's pupils trembled suddenly, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. A great sense of suffocation and panic came over her...
"how come?"
"Ten years..." she murmured, and suddenly felt a sweet taste in her throat, "Less than ten years..."
Jiang Wantang's already red eyes suddenly burst into tears...
I cried silently and laughed silently...
"No wonder..."
"No wonder..."
No wonder he avoids her, no wonder he wants to distance himself from her...
She knew that he didn't want to see her in trouble, nor did he want to make her feel guilty.
"What a fool..."
"How can you be so stupid?"
As he spoke, Jiang Wantang raised his eyes to look at the Imperial Master in front of him, his red eyes filled with eager anticipation, his voice hoarse: "Imperial Master, can you give him the rest of my life?"
"He's still so young, this shouldn't be the case..."
"It's all my fault. I killed him!"
The Imperial Master shook his head: "His fate is set and cannot be changed."
"What's more, given the prince's personality, he would rather die than agree to do this."
At this moment, a melodious bell sounded from a distant temple illuminated by golden light...
The Imperial Master simply said, "My Lady, take care of yourself."
Then he took his leave and went to the temple for morning prayers.
After the Imperial Master left, Jiang Wantang began to tremble violently. She raised her hand and clutched her heart in agony, her knuckles turning white. Tears fell like beads from a broken string, mingling with heartbreaking sobs...
When the first rays of morning sunlight completely illuminated the forest, Jiang Wantang finally walked out of the Buddhist temple.
Except for those red eyes from crying, his face looked normal.
After thanking the imperial teacher, she said goodbye, went down the mountain, and rode her horse all the way to the northern border.
The northern border is a long way from the capital, and the journey is long and arduous...
As Jiang Wantang traveled through mountains and rivers, she realized more and more deeply how difficult it was for Ji Wuwang to search for her all these years.
Along the way, she had only one thought in her mind: if she was lucky enough to find a glimmer of hope for survival, that would be the best.
If it cannot be saved, then I will accompany him throughout this life in this limited time.
Jiang Wantang hurried all the way and finally arrived at the northern border area after more than a month.
The steed neighed as it carried her across the gray hillside. The mountain breeze blew past her ears, carrying the uniquely cold chill of the north...
There are snow-capped mountains in the north that never melt all year round. The closer you get, the colder you feel.
The closer they got to the northern border, the more rumors Jiang Wantang heard about the King of Zhenbei.
It is not difficult to hear that in the eyes of the people in the northern border, the Kings of Zhenbei in all generations are like gods.
When the people mentioned them, their eyes were filled with awe and admiration, but the one Jiang Wantang heard about the most was Ji Wuwang.
They praised him as a clear and bright gentleman, as clear as the wind and bright as the moon, and praised him for his bravery and skill in battle, as well as his courage and strategy. They also respected him for his benevolent government, love for the people, and generosity and righteousness.
So, Jiang Wantang got to know him again over the years from the people along the way.
Before coming to the Northern Territory, Jiang Wantang had heard and believed that the Northern Territory was a bitterly cold place with biting north winds and yellow sand everywhere.
But when she actually stepped into the northern border, the scene before her amazed her.
Although the weather in late spring is a bit chilly, the mountains and water here mean it's not as harsh as the rumored north wind...
In the distance, large paddy fields cover the mountains like jade, and clear canal water flows happily between the ridges.
The official road is lined with cold-resistant trees...
What's even more amazing is that all over the mountains and fields here are full of flowers of various colors. It can be seen that her brother Xiaoqi has indeed managed the northern border very well over the years, and it even has some shadows of the capital.
After entering the city, Jiang Wantang led his horse through the city's marketplace, where he saw laughter and joy everywhere. Merchant caravans streamed in and out, and the sound of camel bells and the hawking of various accents intertwined into a unique bustling atmosphere...
Although it is not as prosperous as the capital, the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and have no worries about food and clothing.
The northern border is vast, with the territories of the sixteen states stretching for thousands of miles. Jiang Wantang is currently in an area outside the Great Wall, which is still a long way from the main city of Lingzhou where the King of Zhenbei is located.
She rode her horse for days across vast grasslands, woods and rolling hills, and finally arrived at the main city of Lingzhou.
The towering city towers reach into the clouds, and the words "Haitang City" are cast in bold, bold characters on the black iron walls, gleaming golden in the sunlight...
At just one glance, Jiang Wantang's pupils trembled.
Haitang City?
The main city in the north is called Haitang City?
