Chapter 2: Rebirth
In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Yonghe, the autumn wind rises, the leaves are yellow, and the chrysanthemums in the garden of the Zhenguo Mansion are fragrant. But no one in the house was in the mood to enjoy the flowers, and everyone from the master to the slave had a sad face. Liu Fengling, the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, fell off a horse a few days ago and injured her head, and she has been sleeping in bed in a faint place. The house invited a lot of doctors, and even the imperial doctors invited a few, but there was no turnaround. The second lady of the housekeeper in the house, Liu, quietly asked someone to prepare for the eldest lady's funeral, she found someone to order a good sandalwood coffin, made a few sets of exquisite shrouds, and was ready to choose some good funeral goods. She knew that she was doing this because she was struggling to do it, and she would be hated if the rest of the family knew about it. But she couldn't help it, she didn't want to wait for her favorite little niece to wake up, and she had to wait to find the coffin and sew clothes in a hurry, she couldn't bear to let her niece suffer such a grievance.
The second wife, Liu, sat in the hall while dealing with family affairs, and at the same time worried about her niece who couldn't wake up from the bed. It has been almost a hundred years since the Zhenguo Mansion was sealed with Emperor Taizu, and the old grandfather Liu Shangyong is old and mature, and he has long handed over power to the current Zhenguo Duke Liu Zicheng.
The old grandfather had two sons, the current Zhenguo Gong Liu Zicheng and the second grandfather Liu Ziming. Liu Zicheng married the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping and gave birth to two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Liu Jiancheng is the son of Zhenguo Gong, the second son Liu Jianyun is the second son, and the first daughter Liu Fengling.
The second master, Liu Ziming, married his wife, the second daughter of Kang Ningbo's family, Liu, and had two sons, the eldest son Liu Jian'an, the third master, and the second son, Liu Jiansheng, the fourth master.
In the case of many boys and girls in the town, the concubine Liu Fengling was pampered and loved by her family like a jewel and grew up. She was unconscious and cried the old lady and the eldest lady, if Liu Fengling had three long and two short, this family would be terrible. The second lady sighed and prayed for her niece to wake up safely.
Behind the second lady is the maid who has served her since she was a child, and is now married to become the second lady's housekeeper helper Wu. Wu is the person who knows the second lady's mind best, and she quietly suggested to her: "Second lady, it's useless for the eldest lady to ask for a doctor now, if you don't believe it, ask a monk and Taoist priest to resolve it, maybe it's useful." ”
The second lady nodded, the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor, anyway, the worst result is not much worse than the current one. She asked, "What good candidates do you have?"
Wu said: "Second lady, you are in a hurry, you have forgotten the host of Linyun Temple." He is a person with great ability, and the nobles in the palace are very polite to him. Do you want to invite Grandpa Guo to come forward and invite the host to take a look?"
The second lady hurriedly asked someone to tell Grandpa Guo this suggestion and let him make up his mind.
The second lady heard crying when she walked into the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady said while crying: "My son has been fainting for a few days, what can I do if I don't wake up again?" In the past few days, the tears of the old lady and the eldest lady are almost gone, and if they go down, both of them will have to be sick and lie in bed.
The messenger hurriedly went in and called the grandfather of the country, who was anxiously going around the courtyard, he was worried about his daughter, and on the other hand, he was worried about his mother and his wife, and his heart was split into several pieces, and he longed to suffer this crime in his daughter's place. As soon as he heard the suggestion of the messenger that "the second lady said that you should invite the host of Linyun to try", he went out immediately without saying a word. He rode his horse and galloped to the Linyun Temple outside the city, and he was going to pick up the host at dawn to see if he could save his daughter's life.
Zhen Guogong, who was galloping out of the city, met a team of men and horses on the mountain of Linyun Temple, and he glanced at the man who was riding on a horse and wearing a dark robe protected by the forbidden army, and was busy pulling the horse's head. He jumped off the horse and knelt on one leg: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
The crown prince Wang Jinghong is the eldest son of the emperor, and the former queen died soon after giving birth to the prince. Since the current Empress Huang gave birth to two sons, the prince's life has become more and more tormented.
The crown prince nodded and motioned for him to get up and asked, "Where is Grandpa Guo going in such a hurry?"
Liu Zicheng replied respectfully: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the daughter of Zai fell off the horse a few days ago, and the medicine stone has been fainting, and the imperial doctor said that if you don't wake up, you won't wake up." I'll go to Linyun Temple now and ask the host to see if I can save it. ”
Wang Jinghong remembered the woman who fell down the mountain in his previous life, he called a guard, handed him a jade pendant and said: "Take this to the host, let him help Zhen Guogong, I owe him a favor." ”
The host of Linyun Temple is famous, he is dedicated to cultivation, he basically does not pay attention to worldly things, it is because he knows his character, Wang Jinghong decided to help Zhenguo Gong.
Liu Zicheng knelt down again, made a big salute, turned over his horse, and rushed up the mountain with the prince's guards. Looking at the two people who were traveling far away, Wang Jinghong retracted his gaze, and another attendant beside him said: "The prince has done Zhenguo Gong such a great favor, and he left without even saying a word of thanks." ”
Wang Jinghong said expressionlessly: "Some people may not know gratitude if they don't say thank you, and some people may not have a grateful heart when they say thank you." He thought to himself, what is this help, I owe a lot of lives to their family. He remembered the killing in his previous life, his eyes became cold, and his hands turned into fists. This time, I want to take revenge, repay the kindness, one by one, and everyone can't run away.
In the middle of the night, three horses ran from the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Gong hurriedly threw down the horse rope with the presiding officer and the prince's guards and rushed in. The lights of the Zhenguo Mansion were bright, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the eldest lady to wake up and wait for the grandfather to return to the house. As soon as he entered the gate, the people waiting at the gate ran away, and they went to inform the masters that the grandfather had returned to his home.
Everyone who heard the news rushed to the courtyard of the eldest lady, and they were anxiously waiting for the last chance. The host is old and healthy, and after non-stop running all the way, his physical strength is a little unbearable. The prince of Zhenguo ordered someone to bring ginseng soup to the host and take the guards down to rest. The guard refused, his master was still waiting for his reply, and he couldn't take a step away.
After the host took a break and breathed a sigh of relief, he recited the mantra to Liu Fengling, and then nodded her forehead and said, "Wake up quickly, if you miss the opportunity, you will have to start all over again." ”
Liu Fengling couldn't wake up, her consciousness was very clear, she said that she was trapped by the few spiritual weapons that Bai Wuchang gave her. How can a mortal use the Kaizhi Pill? If you have the Kaizhi Pill, you will have the ability to remember everything in the past and present lives, and you will have the ability to know what others think and think. The mantra recited by the host is to open the opening of her spiritual weapon, so that her soul can escape from it and return to her body.
The presiding master knew very well the origin of this woman, he was in a dilemma, helping her was against the rules of cultivation, and the heavens might punish her, but not help the gods, men and ghosts who could offend many in the upper, middle and lower realms. Especially in the lower realm, he won't be able to escape reincarnation for a while, and if he is hated by those below, the result will be terrible to think about. He reported the idea that he could offend the gentleman and not offend the villain, and took action to help Liu Fengling. Anyway, it's all in violation, and it's the same if you violate more penalties. Maybe those guys in the lower realm know that he has given this girl a favor and help him find a few good places to go in the future reincarnation and ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
reported this kind of idea, presided over the recitation of the mantra, and matched all the several spiritual weapons brought by Liu Fengling to her, so that her soul and spiritual weapons were integrated. Liu Fengling, who was carrying a spiritual weapon, woke up, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she met the host, and the host said: "Girl, for you to wake up, I sacrificed my life for three years and ten years of cultivation." Liu Fengling winked at him and said, "Old monk, don't worry, I will repay you doubly." The host nodded with satisfaction, this girl is very smart and knows gratitude.
Seeing her wake up, the old lady hugged her and laughed while crying: "God forbid, Ling'er is awake." Mrs. couldn't snatch the old lady, only holding Feng Ling's hand was also crying and laughing: "My son is awake, my son is awake, I am so happy for my mother." Feng Ling stretched out his hand to hug the old lady and the lady and said, "Grandmother, mother, the child is not filial, so you are worried." ”
She called out to the relatives who were standing in front of her and wiping their tears from her eyes: "Grandfather, father, second uncle, second aunt, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, sister-in-law, I have made you worry and tired." Ling'er is not filial, and I will ask you for your sins when I get better. ”
The old grandfather said: "Silly boy, we are relieved when you wake up, what kind of crime does the family have?" Recuperate, and you will not be allowed to ride a horse again. ”
Feng Ling nodded obediently.
The host master said to the big guy: "She just woke up, let her rest more to recover sooner." He turned his head to Feng Ling and said, "After the girl is well, take the time to come to the Cloud Temple, and Lao Na has something to give you." Then he refused to be retained and left with the prince's guards.
