Chapter XVII: The High Priest
Pick up the last back,
Thinking of this, Na Wenxin said again: "In terms of medical theory, the general's poisoning can only be tongue poisoning." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Lou Fan said: "Why?"
Wen Xin continued: "General Geng Biao has been in Anxi for a long time and has encountered countless dangers, so he must be particularly concerned about the sneak attack, and he also has a lot of experience. If you want the general to be poisoned, I'm afraid that it can't be carried out by a master of poison like a family teacher. With that, he shook his head and was silent.
Soon, the general's body was transported back to the Turkic camp and placed in a separate tent. General Hong Kui deliberately sent Samurton and You Metrochong to take turns to lead troops to protect, and secretly deployed 3,000 warriors in front of the palace. The strictness of the defense is comparable to the defense of the royal court.
At night, Wen Xin and Lou Fan sat face to face. These days, they have been together, chatting and rejoicing.
Wen Xin said: "Brother Fan, what do you think of the Turkic High Priest?" Lou Fan said: "Listening to General Hong Kui, this generation of High Priests is the most talented and mysterious High Priest among the High Priests for hundreds of years. I don't know about the rest. Wen Xin said, "Do you know what the most mysterious power of the Turkic High Priest is?" Lou Fan shook his head, and suddenly stared at Wen Xin knowingly.
"Soul Incense!" Wen Xin stabilized his mind before saying these three words. Then he continued: "The Soul Incense is an extremely mysterious thing in the Western Regions, and according to the family teacher, it may be a plant. It is rumored that there are six uses of soul incense, namely: soul snatching, requiem, soul breaking, soul restoration, exorcism and channeling. The mere exorcism of beasts is incredible. ”
Lou Fan said: "Senior Liu is the holy hand of today, doesn't she know about the soul incense?" Wen Xin said: "Brother Fan, you don't know something. This kind of religious thaumaturgy is not known much within its sect, let alone outsiders. "Anyway, close your eyes and rest your mind. Lou Fan saw that Wen Xin was tired, so he had to walk out of the big tent.
More than ten days later, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to inform Lou Fan. "The mission has been completed, and today the White Eyebrow Khan will hold a banquet to see him off. ”
Turkic royal court.
The white-eyed khan sat on the throne, the Turks and the Tang dignitaries lined up on both sides of it, and the high-level banquet and hospitality were just like that. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Wen Xin, who was dressed as a man, said: "High priest, the junior is from Songhe Hall, I heard that the high priest has good medical skills, and I want to ask for a word or two." ”
I saw that the high priest said slightly: "Songhe Hall is a place where the Central Plains medical skills are extremely famous, and this seat has lived in the Western Regions for a long time, but I have also heard of it. Today's Songhe Hall master Liu Ruyan is a medical genius. I wonder who your mentor is?" ”
The high priest pondered for a while, and then said slowly, "How long have you been with her?" "Exactly twenty years. The high priest said, "Then what is the mystery of General Geng Biao's death?" Wen Xin said: "This is also the question I want to ask the high priest." The high priest said, "It doesn't matter if you ask for advice, but let's learn from each other." The one who comes is a guest, so you come first. ”
Wen Xin bowed to the high priest, and then said, "General Geng's death is extremely strange, there are no injuries on his body, and there are no signs of poisoning on his skin. With General Geng's age and body, it should not be a natural death. The younger generation thought that General Geng should have died of a strange poison, but what kind of poison it was and how it was poisoned, the younger generation did not know. ”
The high priest said: "Sure enough, it is a famous teacher who is a high apprentice." You think poisoning is magical, but I think the incorruptibility of the body is the bigger mystery. Wen Xin said: "Seniors, juniors don't think this is magical. The high priest wondered, "Oh, tell me about it." ”
Wen Xin said: "The Western Regions have never used burials, let alone open the coffin for autopsy. The burial customs of the Central Plains have been used for thousands of years, and the art of opening the coffin and performing the autopsy is a powerful way to solve the case in criminal investigation. Presumably, very few Turkic people have this experience of autopsy. The decomposition of the corpse is only based on the decomposition of the animal carcass, which is logical. The high priest nodded slightly, motioning for Wen Xin to continue.
"A few days ago, I took out General Geng's coffin with everyone. Look at the coffin made of golden silk nanmu, its production process is high, let me the Central Plains craftsmen sincerely admire. In addition, I also smelled a lot of the best spices of the Western Regions in the coffin. The Western Regions was originally arid, and the general's coffin was extremely tight, and the effect of spices was added, which made the general's body not decompose. ”
The high priest smiled: "Songhetang is worthy of its name. This seat is extremely admired. After the army set off, the previous khan ordered me to find a way to protect the body of the Tang general. They were all loyal and brave men, and although the two armies met each other, our Turks still respected each other very much. Keeping their bodies alive is their reward for being the most loyal warriors in the world. ”
As soon as the words fell, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu got up and bowed to the White Eyebrow Khan and the high priest, and then said: "Thank you for your heart, I should want to report to His Majesty the Emperor like this." The white-eyed Khan said: "The first Khan is just a vision. Ben Khan was willing to be friendly with the Tang Emperor forever. ”
At dawn the next day, the high priest had been sitting alone all night. He's not like the great monks who meditate at night. He's reminiscing about the past, he's meditating.
He has been thinking about Wen Xin's identity. When he saw Wen Xin for the first time, he felt that he had seen it. Later, after thinking about it a few times, I suddenly remembered Zhang Xinru of Songhetang. It's just a baby girl originally given birth to by Zhang Xinru, the eldest disciple of the Songhe Hall. And this young man is clearly a man, thinking about it, twenty years have passed, and his memory has long been blurred. On the contrary, I think that I am looking at the wrong person.
Unexpectedly. When I was exchanging medical advice with Na Wenxin today, in her expression, there were seven points similar to Zhang Xinru. All kinds of past events are vivid, otherwise God will be sad. I thought about it all night.
So much so that today's send-off did not go. It's just that everyone has become accustomed to the mystery of this high priest, and it is most normal not to participate in the send-off.
Yinggou Gorge, the top of the mountain
Baiyun Hill is discussing something with a man and a woman. I saw the middle-aged man say, "Young Zhuang Master, do you really want to take the head?" Baiyun Hill said: "Exactly." The middle-aged woman said, "Why don't you kill them all?" "I have my own opinions, don't ask more." It's just the doorman of the Songhetang. But don't hurt. With that, the Baiyun Hill went straight down the mountain.
Wait for him to go away. I saw the middle-aged woman and said, "Brother Tianjie, what's wrong with the young village owner today?" The man named Tianjie said: "Sister Tianjie, you and I are just here to assist Baiyun Villa on the orders of the sect master, don't think about it." "After all, I have a lot on my mind.
Who are these two people? They are the two great protectors of the Heavenly Interception Sect that have changed color on the rivers and lakes. The man is good at making an iron fan, and he is extremely handsome, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him "Iron Fan Fairy". The woman has no nickname in the rivers and lakes, but she is good at using hidden weapons.
Twenty years ago, after the battle of Baiyun Villa, the Heavenly Interception Sect never appeared in the rivers and lakes again. Now that the two masters have appeared together, I don't know how many murders will be committed in the rivers and lakes!
