《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 83: Putting Down
Advertisement
Tian Qi held A Qi, who had stiffened into a stick, and watched Shang Gu walk slowly from the light curtain. The palms of his hands were sweaty.
It wasn't me and Zhi Yang who saved you, it was Shang Gu...
Tian Qi held his breath and looked at Shang Gu in a mysterious robe. Shang Gu, did you forget to tell me something back then?
In front of Shang Gu, her eyes were too focused, and he raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Tian Qi?"
Tian Qi came back to his senses, turned his eyes awkwardly, and said solemnly,
"Shang Gu, do you remember Hou Chi?"
A Qi in his arms lowered his head, and his two small claws desperately grabbed Tian Qi's robe, looking pitiful for fear of being abandoned.
Shang Gu didn't answer Tian Qi, and looked down at A Qi. In the silent silence, she suddenly grabbed the dejected little baby, lifted his collar, and said,
"A Qi, how did I teach you, keep your back straight, lift your chest, how can I find a daughter-in-law in the future with such a pustular image!"
Tian Qi was relieved, the corners of his mouth bent and he took two steps back.
A Qi raised his head ignorantly, blinked his big eyes quickly, and looked at Shang Gu's slightly angry eyes, his two short legs swayed for a long time, his lips trembled and he called out,
"Auntie..."
Shang Gu rolled up her sleeves and slapped him on the back of his head. A crisp voice sounded. Before A Qi could breathe out the pain, Shang Gu raised her head and stared at him without blinking. Her dark brown eyes flashed a momentary sigh.
"A Qi..."
Shang Gu put A Qi in her arms, raised her hands stiffly, landed on A Qi's back, patted it lightly, and finally said very naturally, "I'm your mother."
A Qi, who was stuffed in Shang Gu's shoulders, froze at first. When Shang Gu's hands fell on his back, the cry suddenly came, and the little baby cried hysterically. .
"Mother...Mother..."
The cry was earth-shattering at first, but later it turned into a choking, unstoppable situation.
Shang Gu heard it sour, and tightened the child in her arms with self-blame in her eyes.
When she first saw A Qi, he squatted with a small body, planted figs that would never bloom in Qingchi Palace, approached her cautiously, and called her aunt...
His fears, unease, expectations... She should have been aware of it long ago, and even foolishly thought that A Qi was born by a mortal woman.
She looked forward to A Qi for a hundred years, her only solace in the hidden mountain for a hundred years, how could she bear to let him be abandoned, and even named him A Qi.
Hou Chi, you are really confused, no matter how arrogant and heartless Bai Jue is, A Qi is innocent after all.
Recalling the bright red wedding robe on the Sky Realm, the man's icy eyebrows, the corners of Shang Gu's mouth crossed a touch of self-mockery, and lowered her eyes... why isn't that my choice?
Hou Chi is you, you are Hou Chi, and no amount of excuses can change that you are just one person.
But in the end, just like the awakened Bai Jue is no longer pure and innocent, she... will never return to the beginning.
Hou Chi can be willful, but Shang Gu cannot.
Hou Chi can love Qing Mu, but Shang Gu can't.
Hou Chi can do everything for one person, but not Shang Gu.

Although disappointed and angry, she didn't even have to ask the reason why Tian Qi concealed her.
She had loved Qing Mu for a hundred years, and had held such a belief in Yinshan for a hundred years, and she never gave up even on the day of his wedding.
But her refusal to let go caused Gu Jun's soul to fly away and Bo Xuan's body to disappear.
The worst thing she did was not to fall in love with Qing Mu, but she was too stubborn, and in the end, she was hurting herself and others.
With a long sigh, Shang Gu calmed down, pulled out A Qi who was choking on her shoulders, squeezed her hand, and said warmly,
"A Qi, it's my fault, no matter what happens in the future, I will never do it again. I will never leave you."
This is the child who is connected with her blood, the person she is closest to and cares about the most.
A Qi pursed his lips and nodded fiercely. His eyes were swollen like walnuts, but the spirit inside seemed to be able to illuminate the world.
Shang Gu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said slowly,
"A Qi, from now on, your name will be... Yuan Qi."
Yuan Qi means head of all things, born from heaven and earth.
Her child, worthy of such a name, is also her shallowest wish.
Tian Qi on the side was stunned for a while, looked at A Qi, and saw the face similar to Bai Jue, suddenly a little bitter, Shang Gud relatives the most, now, they are the real family.
"Tian Qi, did you seal the power of True God in A Qi?"
Shang Gu's divine power gathered, and she could see the Power Of Chaos that was shrouded in A Qi's breath.
Tian QI came back to his senses, nodded, and said,
"A Qi's birth has too much to do with it, so I sealed his power."
Although the Power Of Chaos is superior to heaven and earth, it is also the heaviest and most helpless divine power.
If the Tribulation Of Chaos came, only the Power Of Chaos can solve it. If it's possible, he only want A Qi to inherit Bai Jue's immortal power.
Shang Gu frowned slightly, handed A Qi into his hands, and said solemnly,
"Tian Qi, send A Qi back to Qingchi Palace, I will wait for you in Cang Qiong Hall."
Tian Qi took over the little baby who was still a little reluctant to part, and when he saw Shang Gu, he walked away, and suddenly said,
"Shang Gu!"
Shang Gu turned around and looked at him quietly.
"You don't blame me?"
"Strange, why not?"
Shang Gu lowered her eyes, her expression was stunned for a moment, and her voice was inexplicably heavy,
"A Qi has been with you for a hundred years, taking care of A Qi's righteousness, and the feeling of awakening for me in the Sky Realm, Tian Qi , I can't afford it."
The most important thing is that you and Zhi Yang, no matter what happens, are the most important people in the world to me.
"No."
Tian Qi ran over, stood in front of Shang Gu, and said firmly,
"I am not talking about this, Shang Gu, back then..."
He paused, and suddenly there was an uneasy hope in his eyes,
"Why do you choose to die?"
Is it really like what Bai Jue said...
"I don't know, I think it's to save the Three Realms."

Shang Gu's voice was calm and cold, and Tian Qi seemed to have lost his strength and lowered his eyes.
Shang Gu looked at him for a while, and suddenly said,
"Tian Qi, are you hiding something from me?"
Tian Qi's pupils shrank, and he turned his eyes,
"You say what? "
"I only have the memory of Hou Chi. Three hundred years before the Tribulation Of Chaos, I still don't remember what happened. Do you still have something to hide from me?"
Tian Qi opened his eyes slightly and lost his voice,
"Shang Gu, what did you say, you still haven't recovered the memory of those three hundred years?"
No wonder she never blamed him for causing the Tribulation Of Chaos...
It's just how this is possible, except that the Ancestral Sword's Power of Chaos can seal Shang Gu's memories, who else in the world can do it, unless the Ancestral God descends into the world... but the Ancestral God has turned into nothingness tens of thousands of years ago!
Seeing Tian Qi's astonished appearance, Shang Gu stopped mentioning the matter, and said,
"Take A Qi back to Qingchi Palace, I will wait for you in Cang Qiong Hall, if you want to tell me what happened back then, it's not too late."
Shang Gu turned around and flew towards the Sky Realm, Tian Qi paused, looked at the pitiful A Qi in his arms, and smiled bitterly,
"Stinky boy, I was left behind by your mother again."
A Qi grabbed Tian Qi 's hand and whispered,
"Uncle Tian Qi, you still have me."
He said and rubbed in Tian Qi's arms, as usual.
Tian Qi looked slightly startled, and said with a smile,
"You stinky boy!"
After being tricked by A Qi like this, he felt a lot better, and he flicked A Qi's forehead and walked towards Qingchi Palace.
Wutong Island in the South China Sea.
The immortal trees several meters high on the island are rich and green, and the Phoenix Palace in the extreme east was decorated with a new look due to the return of Feng Ran, but Feng Ran insisted on building a bamboo house in the back of the palace for daily rest.
The elders in the clan have waited for 100,000 years to get back such a precious lump, and naturally everything depends on her. The name of the fire phoenix Feng Ran has been synonymous with popularity in the Three Realms for thousands of years, but Feng Ran, who returned to Wutong Island after awakening, was uncharacteristically calm, which also greatly pleased the worried elders.
The grey-bearded elder Feng Qi pushed open the door of the Zhufang, and saw Feng Ran sitting in a precarious position, holding the book presented by the elder in front of the case, with a focused expression and a little emotion in his heart.
Feng Ran, who was intolerant and arrogant in the Three Realms back then, finally has the appearance of an Queen.
When she heard his footsteps, Feng Ran raised her head and looked towards the door, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, and smiled,
"Feng Qi, if you wait a little longer, there are too many etiquettes in the clan, and there are too many rules for ascending the throne. I have only see half of it."
The first elder Feng Yun has been in seclusion for ten thousand years, and the second elder Feng Qi has always been in charge of the important affairs of the clan. This time, when she came back to the throne, Feng Qi presided over it.
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty has never lived on Wutong Island, so you is very unfamiliar with many things. It will be good to be familiar with it later, hey..."
Seeing Feng Qi sighing again, the past few days have really been tormented by the pleas of the elders, Feng Ran, who was about to appease, listened to Feng Qi's words, and said, "Your Majesty, the Heavenly Emperor has been guarding the island for a long time. Is there something wrong?"
The Heavenly Emperor appeared outside Wutong Island half a day ago, but he did not enter the island for half a step. After Feng Ran heard it, she only used the excuse of being busy with the enthronement as an excuse to dismiss him, so she didn't ask any more questions. I would feel that this arrangement is somewhat inappropriate.
Feng Ran shook her head and said, "Feng Qi, he just wanted to pull my Feng Clan into the Immortal Realm camp. I have already issued the Phoenix Emperor's Law in Rakshasa, this is absolutely impossible."
Feng Ran spoke decisively, and Feng Qi was slightly moved, recalling the tragic death of the Feng Clan in the third heaven of the demon realm, and sighed,
"I don't approve of the Phoenix Clan's involvement in the battle between the immortal and the demons. I can only be dispatched by the queen, hey, I have also done a lot of stupid things."
"The past is over, no don't need to worry about it."
Seeing that Feng Qi thought the same as her, Feng Ran comforted her heart, but when she saw Feng Qi opened hi mouth, it seemed a little unspeakable, and said, "What do you think, the elder, but it's okay to say it. ."
"Your Majesty, I am not speaking for the Emperor, but he has spoken to me over the years. The blessing of the Phoenix Clan is indeed a fact. I am afraid that he is not here today to pull the Phoenix Clan into the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, he will not stop outside the island. How about seeing him, Your Majesty? "
The corners of Feng Ran's brows wrinkled slightly, and she looked at Feng Qi. Seeing that he was open-minded, she smiled and said, "Why are you so sure?"
Feng Qi put his hands in his arms and said, "Because the Heavenly Emperor is not the Heavenly Empress, His Highness Jing Jian has a simple and good-natured temperament, and it must have something to do with his father's teaching."
Feng Ran's face paused for a while, and her heart twitched fiercely. She put down the book in his hand, nodded, silent for a long time, and walked out of the bamboo workshop.
Jing Jian's father, even if she didn't want to, she couldn't keep him out.
The sound of footsteps sounded behind him, he turned his head, and saw Feng Ran wearing a dark yellow emperor's uniform with a mighty brow, he couldn't help feeling relieved. He had done so many things wrong, and now, one or two things can finally return to the original track.
"Feng Ran, Jing Jian is in Tianci Mountain. If you have a chance in the future, you can go and see him."
It's not that I don't know the child's mind, but it's too late now. His and Wu Huan's sins did not fall, but they fell on Jing Zhao and Jing Jian.
Feng Ran's pupils suddenly darkened, and she said, "Your Majesty will not come here just to say this."
"Of course not, Feng Ran, when Wu Huan exiled you to the Yuanling Swamp, it was indeed because she knew that you were the Queen of the Feng clan, and it was us..."
Feng Ran waved his hand and interrupted the Heavenly Emperor,
"Did Your Majesty know about it?"
Heavenly Emperor smiled bitterly,
"Although it was not confirmed at the beginning, but I guessed that this matter is my fault, and I will not shirk it."
"Forget it, if I hadn't been in the Yuanling Swamp, and I didn't have the fate in the future, I don't want to mention this matter again."
Jing Jian's death has already borne the guilt of the Empress, and she really can't face his parents any more to seek justice.
Seeing Feng Ran's impatience, the Heavenly Emperor stopped talking about it, Xian Jue moved, and a golden scroll appeared in his hand, he paused, and handed it to her with a suspicious look on Feng Ran's face,
"I'm here today, there is indeed one If you ask for something, please fulfill his promise."
Seeing that his tone was solemn and she was also called Phoenix Queen, Feng Ran said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
"Please leave the island and enter the Heavenly Palace."
Feng Ran didn't answer and frowned,
"Heavenly Emperor, I have said something a few days ago, and you must not have forgotten it."
"It's not the Phoenix clan." The Emperor said in a deep voice, "It's just you, Queen Feng. I hope you can succeed as the Heavenly Queen and lead the Immortal Realm to survive this catastrophe. This is an edict to pass on the throne."
Feng Ran slowly narrowed her eyes and said,
"Heavenly Emperor, what do you mean by that?"
Mu Guang was chosen by Shang Gu, and has been in charge of the immortal realm for 60,000 years. How could such a decision be made suddenly?
The Emperor sighed, looked at the ancient mulberry tree beside him, and suddenly said,
"Feng Ran, do you want to go to see the God Realm?" You should go back and see."
"The position of Heavenly Emperor needs to be upright, I didn't do it, I have to be fair, but I am too selfish, Feng Ran, the battle between the immortals and the demon is imminent, but Wu Huan and I can no longer lead the immortal realm, it's not that we retreat, but Yes...we were disqualified from the start."
Feng Ran didn't respond. Listening to Mu Guang's words, it must be that the Empress did something wrong when she was in the God Realm... But, what does this have to do with him? It's not worth letting her finish the affair between the two of them, so even if they left a sentence coldly, they turned around and walked towards Wutong Island.
"I said that the Phoenix Clan will no longer intervene, and it naturally includes me."
"Feng Ran, I believe that only you can protect the immortal realm. Jing Jian guards with his life. If you are willing, I will hand down the throne of the Emperor of Heaven to you in three days from the Xuantian Hall of the Heavenly Palace."
The words of the Emperor rang quietly behind her, Feng Ran stopped and looked back after a long time, there was no one under the ancient mulberry tree, only the golden scroll was floating in the air.
Feng Ran lowered her head, took out the fiery red phoenix feather in her sleeve, and slowly closed her eyes.
Jing Jian, if you were still here, what would you like me to do?
Outside the peach forest under the Yuanling Swamp, Shang Gu walked slowly along the path.
The peach blossoms are all over the sky, picturesque, the creek is gurgling, and the scenery is infinite.
When she returned from Hidden Mountain full of hope, she had traveled this road.
Looking back a hundred years, things are different, only this scene is the same as before.
She stood at the end of the path, watching the young man in white sitting leisurely under the bright red peach forest, standing there for a long time.
He bowed his head slightly, his face was the same as before, his long hair was like ink, and the corners of his lips were soft.
Just, Shang Gu suddenly recalled her resolute eyebrows and eyes on the top of the sky a hundred years ago, his cold and cruel voice, and his indifferent back without any memory.
Bai Jue, the resentment of Hou Chi has been burning for a hundred years under the Ancestral Sword. How about you, have you ever slept peacefully? Have you ever thought of a person called Hou Chi who believed in you for a hundred years, loved you for a hundred years, and... hated you for a hundred years!
Shang Gu walked towards the white figure under the peach forest, and the corners of her mouth outlined an inexplicable arc.
But, what a pity, I'm only Shang Gu.
I have known you for thousands of years, but I have never loved you in ancient times.
Hou Chi, who once loved you to the point of being humble, was buried on the top of the sky by your own hands on the day Gu Jun disappeared.
Do you regret it?

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
