Chapter 1596: A Dream

In the blink of an eye, six years passed.

Five years ago, Xuan Yuan Wanrong gave birth to a son. The people of the world were ecstatic, the court was moved, and a banquet was held for seven days.

Today, it happened to be the time for the banquet, and it was also the birthday of Xu Que's son.

In the Imperial Garden, Xu Que was playing with a little boy.

Although the little boy was only a few years old, from his appearance, he already had a shadow of Xu Que.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong sat at the stone table, looking at the backs of the two, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth subconsciously.

However, when Xu Que looked over, she returned to her expressionless, cold appearance again.

Seeing this, Xu Que couldn't help but sigh.

The two had been here for more than ten years. Even under the bad idea of the old thing, the imperial physician, the two had a relationship in an involuntary situation and even had a child, but Xuan Yuan Wanrong was still this cold attitude.

Holding the child, Xu Que walked to Xuan Yuan Wanrong and stretched out his right hand to her: "Let's go, Queen, the banquet is about to start."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong was stunned, looked up, and the sun fell from behind Xu Que, casting a hazy halo around him.

After hesitating for a moment, she gently placed her hand on it.

In the blink of an eye, time passed in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, decades passed.

Even though Xu Que had made countless changes in this world, he couldn't change the fact that Xuan Yuan Wanrong and he were both mortals.

In the Imperial Palace, Xu Que lay on the hospital bed, old and decrepit, with wrinkles all over his face.

And beside him was Xuan Yuan Wanrong, who had also grown old and lost her youth.

In front of them, a group of ministers knelt.

There was also a young man who looked like Xu Que and Xuan Yuan Wanrong, kneeling in front of the dragon bed, full of sadness.

"Damn, why are the people in this world so short-lived... I'm a peerless expert, and I can only live to be fifty-something..." Xu Que scolded weakly.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong was still the same calm expression, saying softly: "Why, do you still want to stay in this world?"

"That's not it... mainly the hot pot flavor I just developed, I haven't tried it yet. Hey you, go to the Imperial Kitchen and tell them to bring me a hot pot." Xu Que pointed to a maid beside him.

The maid heard this and hurriedly got up and ran toward the house.

After taking two steps, a "clang" sound suddenly came from behind. The maid's footsteps stiffened, and she slowly looked back, only to see Xu Que's hand hanging off the side of the bed.

Beside him, Xuan Yuan Wanrong had also closed her eyes, one hand gently resting on Xu Que, and both of them had no sound.

The young man's sadness was overflowing, and the ministers beside him were also crying bitterly.

"Father! Mother!"

"Your Majesty!"

On this day, the Sage Monarch and Sage Empress passed away, and the Nine Provinces mourned together.

Whoosh!

A white light flashed, and the scene in front of him was like a broken mirror. Just a daze, and the two returned to that ancient city again.

Standing in place for a long time, they slowly opened their eyes.

The moment they opened their eyes, both were full of vicissitudes, even with a look of confusion, until they saw everything around them, and then they gradually recovered their clarity.

Buddhism says that the red dust is just a dream, a big dream who wakes up first.

Decades in a hurry, it was just a dream.

Xu Que was still somewhat dazed at this time. Although he retained his memories, he had truly spent decades in the illusion.

Looking at these decades, it can be described as turbulent, starting as a monarch of a weak country, experiencing ups and downs, and finally becoming the Sage Monarch of the Nine Provinces.

This period, which seemed long but was short in the eyes of cultivators, made Xu Que's heart become a bit deeper.

Now that the illusion was broken and the big dream was awakened, an indescribable sense of loss surged from the bottom of his heart.

"Big dream of floating life, such a glorious life is just a dream, then what is my life?"

Xu Que had this thought for the first time. Although he knew this was a sequela of just leaving the illusion, he still couldn't get rid of it.

Just as he was sinking deeper and deeper into this complex emotion, it was Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice that woke him up.

"You are right, dying of old age can indeed leave."

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression was as usual, as if these decades of life were really a dream, "The ancient Buddha inheritance is indeed extraordinary. Now that you have passed the test, go and accept the inheritance."

Xu Que looked at Xuan Yuan Wanrong strangely, his eyes occasionally glancing at that key place.

Speaking of which... this woman seemed to have given birth to a son for him in the illusion, right?

Will there be any changes to the body?

It's a pity that those old things actually drugged both of them. If they only drugged Xuan Yuan Wanrong, he could still retain some memories.

Just as Xu Que was sighing with regret, a flush that was not easily noticed flashed across Xuan Yuan Wanrong's face, and she said coldly: "This matter is over. I will continue to look for things that can lift the Imperial Physician Heavenly Book. Take care of yourself."

After speaking, her figure changed and disappeared instantly.

"Hey, no..."

Watching Xuan Yuan Wanrong's figure disappear, Xu Que sighed with regret.

"I still wanted to ask you if there were any changes in your body after giving birth... This illusion shouldn't have any impact on the body."

In a certain part of the desert, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's figure gradually revealed itself.

She looked back at the ancient city that had become extremely small, a flush couldn't help but rise on her cheeks, and her delicate little hand gripped slightly.

"This bastard... even after coming out, he still dares to look at me with those eyes."

With her cultivation, a mere few decades of illusion life naturally wouldn't have much interference, but the experience in Eastern Tang still inevitably affected her mind.

Even she didn't notice that the reason she ran so fast was because the layer of ice in the depths of her heart already had a crack.

Her attitude toward Xu Que also had changes that were not easily noticed.

A moment later, Xuan Yuan Wanrong's expression returned to calm and continued to move toward the depths of the desert.

On the other side, Xu Que was standing in place, examining everyone's illusions with great interest.

"Hey, that's it, beat this dead dog hard for me, let it always think about pitting me!"

"Yes, yes, yes, and this virtue-lacking old man, clean him up a few more times!"

After watching for a while, confirming that Su Yunlan and others were fine, and estimating that they would be able to leave the illusion after a while, he felt relieved and began to think about another problem.

Where the hell is this ancient Buddha inheritance?

He had already passed four levels. Judging from this situation, the inheritance test should be almost over.

But there were still so many people left. Could it be that everyone shares the ancient Buddha inheritance?

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Just when he was puzzled, the bell sound that had appeared in the previous levels sounded again...
