The king regards the people as grass mustard, and the people regard the king as enemies.

------------ "Book of Zhou-The Thief"

Yingchuan County, Xia.

Daosheng and others took a carriage to Yingchuan County, and when they learned the news, Yingchuan Jingluo envoy Chu Hu sent a knight to welcome Daosheng and others to Jingluo Mansion.

In Jingluo Mansion, all kinds of food and wine are on the table, and these days, Li Xingmeng has also come out of the sadness of Yao and Hao's death, and has regained his former cheerfulness and liveliness.

Chu Hu was originally the head of the Chu family of the Yingchuan family, over the years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has caused more and more trouble, Chu Hu has made meritorious contributions on the front line many times with his Daoji ability, and was canonized as the Yingchuan Economic Envoy, the Earl of the Southern Suburbs.

(Note: The post of the envoy was established in the eleventh year of Emperor Ling of the Great Zhou Dynasty, because there were more and more people rebelling in various places, in order to suppress the mob, Emperor Ling set up an envoy in many turbulent counties to replace the county guard, and the status of the envoy was much higher than that of the county guard, in addition to paying taxes to the imperial court, the affairs of the county were handled by the envoy himself)

Li Xing dreamed that the chopsticks were clamped slowly, and he actually grabbed the chicken leg directly with his hands and gnawed it, his mouth was full of oil, and everyone was so unhappy when he saw this.

After being full of wine and food, Jing slightly let his daughter Chu Lian stay in the living room to receive him, and he had important things to deal with.

Miss Chu Lian was wearing a light blue skirt, and her speech and demeanor were quite the style of a young lady of a family, but Dao Sheng knew from her nervous little hands that she was not valued by the envoys.

Chu Lian had a very strong sense of self-esteem, and saw that everyone had no one to take care of him except for the lustful starry sky, so he saluted Daosheng and said: "Daosheng senior, I have a castle, which is a gift from my father on my birthday, please go to the castle to rest." ”

Chu Lian was proud of owning a castle, which was what she was most proud of.

"The castle must be very beautiful, I heard that the knights all rescued those sweethearts in the castle. Li Xingmeng, who was well-fed, lay motionless on the chair, and said with wide eyes when he heard that the castle was also curious.

"Little girl, this kind of thing only happens in storybooks, and the people who own the castle are often either rich or noble, and it is impossible for them to be kidnapped. Qian on the side couldn't help but smile.

But the starry sky on the side smiled at Chu Lian: "Miss Chu Lian invited, why are we embarrassed to refuse?"

Although Chu Lian was a little disgusted with the starry sky's misty eyes, she didn't dare to forget her identity, and pressed her two palms on her abdomen to salute: "Childe, good." ”

Everyone followed Chu Lian to a mountain outside the county town, only to see that in a wide plain on the mountainside, there was indeed a castle of considerable scale.

However, when I entered the castle, I found that it was full of dust, as if it had not been cleaned for a long time, there were spiders in the corner, and there were weeds under the corner, and maybe a small snake could be found inside.

Chu Lian's face was ugly when she saw this, she felt as if she was embarrassed, she originally wanted to show off her castle to today's guests, but it turned out to be like this in the castle.

"Damn slaves, do they think I can be lazy and not clean if I don't come here, I must break their hands, they don't want to do it anyway. Chu Lian, who felt embarrassed, could no longer maintain the demeanor of the young lady of the family that she deliberately pretended.

The servants who were in charge of cleaning the castle on the side were startled and knelt down to beg for mercy, but Chu Lian was still full of anger.

Seeing this, Xingkong came out and comforted: "Why should Miss Chu have trouble getting along with a group of subordinates, now tell them to clean up quickly, let's go to the mountains and rivers first, and when we come back, we can almost live." ”

"Hmph, so be it. Chu Lian snorted coldly and agreed.

Chu Lian called more than a dozen servants, and then took everyone to the famous rafting place in Yingchuan. Li Xingmeng got into the boat and looked at the turbulent water below with some fear. But before she could think about it, the boat had already gone down the water, a waterway with a drop of more than ten meters, Li Xingmeng held on to the boat tightly and didn't dare to let go, it suddenly fell, the boat stirred up a thousand waves, and suddenly, Li Xingmeng felt that his mouth and nose were filled with cold stream water, and he couldn't open his eyes, but fortunately, the servants could swim, and once the guests were in any danger, they would be rescued immediately. When the boat came to the place where the water was gentle, Li Xingmeng gasped for breath and rested, but not long after, it was another stream with a drop of more than ten meters, Li Xingmeng screamed, and was filled with water from his mouth and nose.

After a long time, the servants changed new clothes for everyone, and Chu Lian took everyone to the grove to eat barbecue, and when they had fun, it was already evening, and everyone returned to the castle one after another, and the frightened servants had already cleaned the castle, and after each of them had chosen a room, they went into the room to rest.

At night, the starry sky hooked up with a servant girl to his room to do indescribable things by pretending to be pitiful and rhetorical, because the sound insulation effect of the room was not good, Chu Lian, who lived next door, couldn't help but feel irritated when he heard the indescribable sound, so he wanted to see what was going on in the starry sky's room, and when he walked into the door of the starry sky room, the unbearable sound was even more exciting, Chu Lian was both expectant and scared and opened a trace of the door, but found that the unsightly picture inside made people's blood gush, swallowed the saliva in his throat, and did not intend to disturb, but watched quietly。

At this time, in Li Xingmeng's room, looking at the strange stone in his hand, Li Xingmeng's repeated research did not find anything, whether it was soaked in water or roasted with fire, this stone called the Mixed Yuan Zhu by the predecessors of the Taoist Sheng did not have any reaction, until it was shattered, Li Xingmeng felt that there was an indescribable feeling in his body, and along with that feeling, Li Xingmeng fell into a coma.

------------

In the seventh year of Emperor Ling of the Great Zhou, Xuzhou, Pengcheng County, Pei County.

When Li Xingmeng woke up again, he saw that he seemed to be floating in mid-air, but he couldn't feel his body, and he couldn't speak, it seemed to be just a consciousness.

Below, a group of civilians were dragging their heavy, scarred bodies under the whip of an overseer to transport building materials to a pavilion not far away, still under construction.

Since the death of the fox Ji Niangniang, the emperor was persuaded by the Fang Shi to build the Star Pavilion in the world, and wanted to gather the soul of the fox Ji Niangniang through the Star Pavilion to resurrect it, and Xu Qing Erzhou is adjacent to the East China Sea, so the Star Pavilion to be built is the most.

Li Xingmeng found that although he couldn't influence this phantom world, he could control his consciousness to descend to every corner of the phantom world at will.

When he descended his consciousness to the ground in Peixian, he saw a scholar who couldn't help but do something on the wall:

The fox queen died, and the spirit emperor mourned, adjacent to the East China Sea, and wanted to attract the stars.

The scorching heat is scorching, and my wife is young, and the rain is pouring down, wetting my rags.

My mouth was dry, and I went to the Star Pavilion to repair my bones, and I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I was whipped to my bones.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, hungry people everywhere, looking back at his hometown, only white silk was seen.

The scholar was very dissatisfied with the court's behavior of building the Star Pavilion, so he vented it, but several officials saw this and did not directly arrest the scholar because they were illiterate, and when the master came to check it, he found out that this was an anti-poem, and then arrested the scholar, and the scholar's wife pleaded for him but was beaten to death with a stick, and when the scholar's mother paid a large ransom, the scholar was released, but the old mother had hanged herself.

Li Xingmeng didn't understand the meaning of the picture in front of him, he just felt that this phantom world was very interesting.

The picture turned again, only to see the place where the Star Pavilion was built just now pouring heavy rain and thunder, but the laborers still had to work under the heavy rain, suddenly, lightning struck the Star Pavilion that was still under construction, the Star Pavilion collapsed, everyone stood in place and didn't know what to do, but a man named man strangled the overseer with the iron chain in his hand, and led the slaves to rebel.

After that, the picture came to an abrupt end, and when Li Xingmeng woke up, the sun had already risen, and after following everyone to breakfast, he asked Dao Sheng about this matter.

"Maybe this is the function of the Mixed Yuan Bead, you can know the past, insight into the truth, those scenes you dreamed about last night are actually what happened a few years ago. Dao Sheng expressed his conjecture.

On the other side, Chu Lian saw the starry sky come out with a satisfied face, so he leaned next to him and whispered, "Come to my room at night." ”
