Chapter 156 Three Wishes(1/2)
The sky is getting darker and darker.
Before the night came completely, Jiang Ruyue entered the thousand-story tower where the guards were highly alert and everyone in the mortal world was afraid of talking.
Because the lifting elevator in the tower was equipped with a human pulling device, Jiang Ruyue quickly rose to the top floor under the pulling of dozens of strong mortals.
Inside the tourist platform.
Jiang Ruyue met her mother, a woman with long hair on the ground sitting in front of the dressing table.
She looked quiet, her hands were neither anxious nor slow, but she was meticulous and neatly cared for every strand of soft and long hair.
Even when she heard footsteps and someone walked in, she seemed to be unaware of it, and her face was calm.
Jiang Ruyue's nose felt sore.
"Mother!"
She screamed, pounced on her, knelt on the ground, lying on her knees, and began to cry.
The woman stopped her hands and placed the jade comb on the table beside her, patted Jiang Ruyue's back with her hands, and said softly: "Child, mother is living a good life. I am also very happy when you come. Don't cry at any time."
After she said this, Jiang Ruyue cried even harder.
"Okay OK, stop crying."
The woman comforted her for a long time before Jiang Ruyue walked out of her sorrow.
Wiping away the tears, taking out the food box she brought with her, sitting on a chair, sitting at a small table, the mother and daughter ate several plates of dishes, drank a few glasses of wine, talked about some daily topics, and briefly stayed away from sadness.
After eating the dishes, it was already dark outside the sightseeing platform through the light-transmitting walls.
It was as dark as the "devil lake" at the foot of the mountain.
It can even be said to be even darker.
Jiang Ruyue lit the candles brought by him, and the white candlelight illuminated the radius of one meter.
However, the dark outside world suddenly became bright!
Colorful light blooms in the dark night.
There was also a "boom boom boom" explosion.
People in the mortal city set off fireworks one after another.
The fireworks not only dispelled the darkness, but even shone into the tower.
“The fireworks this year are so beautiful~”
A voice of admiration came from my ears, but it was my mother standing by the platform, looking at the beautiful scenery outside, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Mother!"
Jiang Ruyue stomped her feet, looking angry, "Those mortals are celebrating the 'Demon Elimination Day', do you still say that the fireworks are beautiful? This is the most disgusting festival in the world!"
On the Demon Elimination Festival, it is said that in order to eliminate the devil, Saint Zhang used fireworks as a sign to lead the devil into the tower on the dark day. Later, the demons were successfully suppressed. In order to commemorate Saint Zhang, he also celebrated the elimination of the devil. On this day of every year, the people of Dongyuanzhou set off fireworks to celebrate the Demon Elimination Festival.
But for Jiang Ruyue, this so-called "Demon Elimination Festival" and the carnival of the foolish people was completely based on her mother's pain.
She hates this festival!
The woman didn't care and said lightly: "As long as the world is peaceful and everyone is happy, there should be a few more of this Demon Elimination Festival." Although she is the "demon" who was eliminated, the people of the world are so happy today. It is also a good thing to think about it carefully.
"mother!"
Jiang Ruyue shouted and said sternly: "Everyone in this world owes you, why do they say you are a demon?"
"They have never seen how many bad things you have done, but never imagined what kind of suffering you have suffered; they always think they are victims, but forget that each of them is a perpetrator. When you are weak and helpless, they have never taken the initiative to lend a helping hand to you except abandoning and having other intentions?"
"Those selfish, despicable and shameless people are not qualified to call you a demon and are not worthy of locking you up here!"
"Sinners, traitors, hypocrites, villains, they should be locked up here!"
"As sooner or later, I will let them be punished!"
Jiang Ruyue's face looked ferocious, and she became more and more excited as she spoke.
"Enough, stop talking."
A warm embrace wrapped her around her, and two jade fingers were printed on her lips. The gentle voice with calm power said: "You don't understand many things, it's not someone else's fault. My mother has the consequences, and it's his own fault."
"Don't resent anyone, don't be obsessed with the past. My mother has already let go, she has completely let go. There is only you in her heart."
"As long as you live happily, my mother will be very happy every day."
She patted her daughter's back with her hands, and the gentle words were filled with soothing power.
"Mom~!"
Jiang Ruyue cried even harder, hugging her mother tightly, and cried even harder.
He cried and said, "Mother, sooner or later, I will let you out and give you freedom!"
The woman just shook her head gently and said to herself: Child, if you are well, I will be free.
The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other and said a lot until the sky was bright outside and the staff under the tower reminded him through the bells. It was time to part.
Jiang Ruyue was reluctant to leave and delayed the time again and again because seeing each other next time would take several months.
The woman repeatedly urged her not to make the tower guards embarrassed, and Jiang Ruyue set off.
Seeing his daughter leave, the woman sat back to the dressing table and picked up the jade comb from the jewelry box.
...
"KaKaKa~"
Turning around and looking back, the gate of the Demon-Suppressing Tower slowly closed.
Until there was no gap left, Jiang Ruyue turned around, clenched the fist in her sleeve, and sweared secretly in her heart.
"Mom, no matter what price I pay, I will save you!"
Rescue the mother.
This is Jiang Ruyue's wish that ranks first in her heart.
Indeed, from birth to being taken out of the Demon-Suppressing Tower by Elon Luo, she stayed in the tower for up to five years, and then met her mother three times a year. The total time she spent together was no more than six years... But no one in this world has deep feelings as mother and daughter.
Even though in that tower, there were poor supplies and monotonous and boring, she realized the greatest maternal love in the world in that mother.
At first, she had insufficient breast milk and had poor nutrition when drinking porridge, so she cut her skin and fed it with blood.
Then he babbles, teaches her to speak, recognizes words, tells her stories, and plays with her every day.
At the age of five, I realized that I could not put my daughter in the tower forever and could not practice. At most, it was like an ordinary person who lived for a hundred years. My mother bent her knees and knelt down to the mortal guards, asking to see Lao Lao Luo.
When Lao Zu Luo saw her five-year-old, he was very surprised. When he heard her mother's begging, he felt compassion and took her out of the tower.
When they parted, Jiang Ruyue cried and made a fuss, beating hard, and refused to leave her mother. Her mother shed a lot of tears and said a lot to her. Then she nodded and walked out of the tower.
It was from that day that a seed was planted in Jiang Ruyue's heart:
Must rescue your mother!
In addition, Jiang Ruyue has two wishes.
First, take back all the things that belong to your mother and punish those who betray their mother!
What she wants to get back...is it specifically what?
To put it more generally, it is the entire Dongyuanzhou.
However, she is already the Lord of Xiaoyao Palace, the nominal Lord of Jiushan, and has great authority. Why did she say she wants to take back what belonged to her mother?
Jiang Ruyue sneered.
Indeed, she is the Lord of Xiaoyao Palace and the supreme leader of Dongyuanzhou, but she is just a puppet supported by the nine heads of state. She does not have much core authority, and less than one-tenth of the army is loyal to her. The mortal world is under her control, but there are only about 100 cities. The entire Dongyuanzhou, the resources and power she controls are no more than 5%.
The rest is all in the hands of the nine heads of state.
Moreover, it is difficult for her to intervene. Many of her reforms can only be successfully implemented if they are beneficial to the vast majority of people.
In addition, if she shows excessive ambitions or the impulse to worry the nine heads of state (such as releasing her mother), she will receive severe warnings and threats.
For example, telling her true identity - if hundreds of millions of people knew that she was the daughter of the great devil Jiang Ruonan, she might have lost her prestige and fame.
So after all, the nine heads of state just wanted to use her, not really support her.
After all, few people will give up supreme authority and endless wealth and honor easily and voluntarily.
So after taking back all the things that belonged to my mother, the nine heads of state, no, the nine traitors will be punished by them.
There is another last wish: destroy the country of Wancheng!
good.
Destroy the powerful country in the West and completely conquer it!
Why did she have this wish?
Because of her father.
The father who betrayed his mother and let him down!
To be continued...
