"You're your mother's child. She risked her life to give birth to you. For you, she was willing to sacrifice everything to keep you safe and happy."
Mr. Zhu's voice was low and firm, which gently wrapped Lin Mengya's shaken heart.
"Before you were born, your mother once met an eminent monk who had attained the Dao. The eminent monk said that the little guy in her belly was an enlightened star. So she wanted to protect you with her Buddha body. Later, you met with an accident, and then you had those adventures. Silly girl, it was your mother and the eminent monk who exchanged their lives for your safety. "
Mr. Zhu, no, Lin Mengya's biological uncle, Zuo Ao, finally revealed the secret he had kept for so many years.
Lin Mengya grasped her uncle's cuffs tightly, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
That's right, her mother's love for her was the same as any mother's love for her child.
In order to protect her, she was willing to die.
Except for her mother and uncle, no one else knew about these things.
Because it was a matter of life and death, her mother would never reveal it. Even her father knew nothing about it.
My mother … how did she die? "
Hearing Lin Mengya calling him uncle, Zuo Ao, who had always been calm, slightly teared up.
Looking at the tearful girl who raised her head from him, and the face that was so similar to his only sister, Zuo Ao's heart was filled with love for the younger generation.
"When your mother was pregnant with you, her whereabouts were accidentally discovered by the Candle Dragon Cult. But her real identity was not exposed, and those people just regarded her as one of the keys. Your mother wanted to exchange for your safety, so she cooperated with me and pretended that she knew nothing about it. Then, she made them mistakenly think that she had drunk the poison given by the Queen of Jinyuan Emperor. Three days after you were born, she blocked the news of the key with her life. Those people couldn't find the key, and they really couldn't do anything to a dead person, so they temporarily let you and Nansheng go. "
Lin Mengya nodded. About the truth of her mother's death, Lin Mengya actually knew something.
She had long expected that the Queen must have something to do with it.
Nineteen years ago, he had plotted against her mother, and now he was plotting against her.
What a great Shangguan Family! She would destroy the Shangguan Family with her own hands and make the Empress pay the price for her viciousness!
"Thank you for telling me this, Uncle. Don't worry, I came to Lie Yun this time to settle this matter once and for all. If the two of us join hands, we may be able to defeat those people from the Candle Dragon Cult. But uncle, as the king of the Nation of Lintian, when did you sneak into the Candle Dragon Cult? "
Although Lin Mengya didn't know what had happened in the past, she was sure that her uncle had been the emperor for more than 20 years. How could he suddenly become Mr. Zhu of the Candle Dragon Cult?
Seeing that his niece had regained her composure, Zuo Ao let go of Lin Mengya and stroked her black hair lovingly.
A hint of helplessness appeared between his brows.
Clearly, he hadn't been having a good time these days either.
"All of this was arranged by our father when your mother and I were young. I was sent to the Candle Dragon Cult when I was young. Think about it, our Zuo Family has been passed down for thousands of years. Even if we can't destroy the Candle Dragon Cult, it's not difficult to plant a few pawns in it. "
Sent to the Candle Dragon Cult when he was young? Who was the king of the Nation of Lintian?
Could it be that her uncle had been busy with the Nation of Lintian and the Candle Dragon Cult since he was young? It really took a lot of energy. Lin Mengya couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart.
Such a powerful person was actually her biological uncle.
After sorting out her emotions a little, Lin Mengya finally accepted these things.
"Don't worry, uncle. I'll keep it a secret from my two cousins. By the way, what did you say I found out? "
It was a happy thing for relatives to recognize each other, but the closer Lin Mengya was to the truth, the more she knew that these things were tricky and strange.
Taking out the booklet that recorded the miscellaneous affairs of the palace, Lin Mengya turned to that page again and asked in a low voice.
"King Gu Wei once left four keys. It's said that only these four keys can open the gate of the Immortal City. One of them is in the hands of your mother, and the other three happen to be in the other three countries. But the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult is an extremely smart person. I don't know where he got the way to open the Immortal City. It's said that there are 36 barriers outside the Immortal City, and the only way to open the Immortal City is to use the blood of the descendants of the Immortal City's survivors. Now, you should understand, right? "
36 barriers were actually unlocked with blood. That meant that from 18 years ago, the four babies who died in vain at the same time were also used to unlock the barriers?
Lin Mengya shivered all over. 36 barriers. How many people had to die to be unlocked?
"Now, how much time do we have left? Once they open the Immortal City first, what will be the consequences for us? "
Lin Mengya was a little emotional and asked anxiously.
Zuo Ao looked at her with a very serious expression.
"Now, they have already unlocked 30 barriers. But because of the constant leakage of information over the past few decades, the secret of the Immortal City is not only known by the Candle Dragon Cult and us. The secret of the Immortal City is not only known by us and the Candle Dragon Cult. According to the chief, he probably wants to completely unlock the barrier within three years. "
Three years! They only had three years left.
Although it seemed that there was still time left, compared with a thousand years of waiting, it was only a short moment.
"Mengya, remember, you must open the Immortal City before the Candle Dragon Cult. Otherwise, the world may face a catastrophe. I asked Xin Yu to tell you that Madam Hui is the key to Wanyan Jing staying, because she is an indispensable part of the final sacrificial ceremony. You must keep her alive, otherwise, you will be in danger. "
Zuo Ao had talked to Lin Mengya for a long time. Obviously, the time he could stay was almost up.
Lin Mengya nodded, although she still had a lot of questions to ask.
But she also knew that her uncle was already taking a risk by staying for so long.
"I should go. If possible, I will come to see you again. If I have something to tell you, I will ask Xin Yu to bring it here. But remember, don't mention to anyone that I am your uncle, understand? "
"Uncle, don't worry. I know what to do."
Unexpectedly, there was still a family member in the world.
While Lin Mengya was happy, she was also a little worried.
He left the library, looking back several times at every step. The reunion of uncle and nephew brought Lin Mengya more than just another blood relative in this world.
Watching the green-gray figure disappear in front of her, Lin Mengya felt a touch of complicated feelings.
The fate before the inheritance was the glimmer of survival that countless people earned at the cost of their lives.
She didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Lin Mengya had no intention to open the book again, so she put it back.
Could it be that the so-called Immortal City was really under the Lieyun Kingdom?
If even the person who designed and presided over the construction of the palace didn't find it, where would this mysterious Immortal City be?
Was the key that uncle mentioned the ginseng seal on the back of the Dragon Turtle that could be opened before?
Or the golden hairpin that was missing a gem?
Really, why did she forget to ask uncle about this just now?
But these things had been handed over to Baiji and the others to keep.
Uncle said that the other three keys were exactly one for each country.
It seemed that she really had to go back to Dajin to look for the second key.
If Long Tianhao, that idiot, knew about it, he would probably be very happy.
Her heavy heart suddenly felt a little relaxed.
But Lin Mengya felt that she should not tell him about this for the time being.
Since that person had suddenly attacked her, she might be able to give him a surprise.
Outside the library, the eunuch who had been put down was sleeping soundly.
Lin Mengya quietly closed the door. There was still a smell of sleeping incense in the air, but after a quarter of an hour, the sleeping incense, which was not strong, would dissipate.
Apart from her uncle and herself, no one else would know the content of their conversation.
Her footsteps were a little relaxed. Before going back, she had to firmly help Xiaoyu win the position of the next Crown Prince of Lieyun!
Calculating the time, today should be the day when Baisu came in to report the news.
However, just as she reached a corner, a figure blocked her way.
"Greetings, Miss. My master would like to invite you over."
Lin Mengya recognized at a glance that this was the manservant who had been following Xin Luan around.
She did not expect that Xin Luan would come to her at this time.
Lin Mengya nodded and changed her mind. She followed behind the manservant and walked towards the South Hall.
It was still as cold and empty as before. In the huge palace, there was nothing but a desk and books.
Lin Mengya followed behind the manservant and stood respectfully in front of Xin Luan. She bowed respectfully to him.
"Greetings to the High Priest."
Xin Luan, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
His eyes were still as calm and reserved as before, so that no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Get up. Since you're my sister's confidant, you don't have to be so polite to me. The tea you sent last time was very good. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to have a cup of tea made by you again. "
Xin Luan's tone was cold and indifferent. Except in front of Madam Jingrou, he was still high and mighty in front of others.
After Lin Mengya responded, she took the tea-making utensils from the manservant's hands.
She did not expect that the few herbs she had placed here before were all here.
It seemed that this High Priest was also an expert in medicine.
After Lin Mengya carefully mixed the dosage, she first scalded the tea with boiling water.
It was not until the third time that the tea gradually had a fragrant smell.
