On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the sky had just brightened.

In the Yonghe Palace, the carved bed.

After silently reciting the "Pudu Pure Heart Mantra" thirty-three times last night, Zhao Luojia barely found a trace of sleepiness, and was sleeping dimly at the moment.

Just after this time, a palace maid approached gently, holding a fan, and gradually forced, blowing the wind chimes hanging on the bed frame, jingle bells.

The princess doesn't like to call the bed. I don't like to hear footsteps, I don't like to hear calls.

Only this wind chime, jingle bell.

No impact, no shaking.

The wind blows, the bell rings, and I get up. This is the new rule set by the princess in the past two years.

The wind chimes sounded crisply, Zhao Luojia stretched her waist slightly, and then pushed the quilt away, and a palace maid stepped forward.

"The bath of Yulan".

On the day of the soul, do not eat or drink.

Bathe and change clothes, do not apply powder.

After bathing, a palace maid came up to dress and freshen up. She meditated that after today, if she has a successful soul, she can be just like the two favorite poems depicted, "Only feel that this body is lighter, and follow the clouds to chase the stream wind." She picked a simple bun with clouds, coiled up with wisps of green silk, and then carefully inserted her mother's favorite hosta. After everything was ready, he waited for his father's arrival.

Since the death of the mother concubine three years ago, my father has never stepped into this Yonghe Palace.

In the first year or two, Zhao Luojia's state of mind fell from above the nine heavens to the bottom of the valley, from the smart little princess who was loved by everyone, to the little abandoned girl who was full of birds. The palace maids were replaced, the rewards gradually disappeared, and the Yonghe Palace fell from the earlier flowers to the situation where no one cared about it. Only the occasional letters from Pan Yatou were slightly comforting, and the rest were the Praetorian Guards of the Suppression Division, who patrolled frequently outside the palace.

The situation did not begin to improve until the starling brother Zhao Yuancheng succeeded in turning his soul and brought people to visit the mansion, and because of his extraordinary comprehension of the "Vipassana Pure Heart Sutra", the Taifu was quite appreciative, and the coldness of Yonghe Palace slowly became warm.

What really turned the situation around was Zhao Shicheng's sudden infection half a year ago. In the competition for the alternate soul transformation, Zhao Shicheng was expected by everyone before, and Zhao Luojia and them were just foils. And Zhao Shicheng's withdrawal from illness was the hammer of the final sound, which changed the fortune of Yonghe Palace.

After that, the strong recommendation from the fourth brother, starling brother and Pan Guifei openly and secretly, as well as the excellent comments of the Taifu, perhaps deeper, stemmed from her father's selfishness of not letting the spirit change fall outside the surname Zhao, and she Zhao Luojia was fortunate enough to be allowed to undertake the spirit transformation.

After being allowed to accept the spirit, the people who had receded like a tide poured back like a tide, and Yonghe Palace seemed to reappear in its former glory.

However, it was not until today that my father came to this Yonghe Palace for the first time. Perhaps after the death of his mother, he asked to see him again and again, crying and begging for a thorough investigation of the cause of his mother's death, which angered his father.

There may be a little resentment left in her heart, and her father's affection has already diluted the attachment when she was a child, and she no longer wants to return to the past, and she has no worries.

It is imperative to turn the soul into the most important thing. This matter can only be successful, not defeated.

Until the end of the day, outside the gate of Yonghe Palace, there was the sound of the palace maid's report.

The Father Emperor has finally arrived.

There is no longer the father-daughter intimacy of the past, only etiquette greetings.

For three years, I haven't arrived at this Yonghe Palace, although the thing is, but the person is no longer it, Zhao Tianyin originally thought that a thousand days have already passed, and his heart will no longer sting, and when he came here, he found that he couldn't let go after all. Where will you not miss the old people when you see the old things, especially when you see the two heart hairpins on the bun, which is exactly what was given to Xue Qiao back then. In this palace, the lingering sound and smile, and the unforgettable tenderness linger in the dream several times.

Zhao Tianyin walked around the Yonghe Palace and did not say much. This time it is to send Luo Jia to Cheng Ling, which can be regarded as a comfort to Xue Qiao's spirit in the sky, and another heart that is gradually cooling.

Silent and silent, all silent. Between father and daughter, the estrangement has been born.

Surrounded by the flying feather suit and the dragon bird knife, the royal chariot slowly rose and went to the Taimiao. The Anling Pagoda is located, the secret place of the soul.

The chariot passes through the Holy Gate of the Beginning, and then bypasses the front and middle naves to the apse. The front hall is the tablet of the ancestors, the middle hall is the tablet of heaven and earth, and in the apse, it is the nine-story Anling Pagoda.

Outside the apse is the white jade stone steps and the railing, three layers of barriers, east and west, north and south respectively set up.

At this time, under the white jade steps on the south side of the apse, in addition to the great master and emperor Fu Chong, Taifu Le Yiheng, Qintian Supervisor Zheng, Supervisor Deputy and Taichang Siqing, Shaoqing and other people knelt down to welcome the holy car according to their grades.

Zhao Tianyin got down the imperial chariot, waved his hand and signaled that after the ministers were flat, he came to the front of the emperor's rebody, "The national teacher has worked." ”

"The saint is compassionate, and Weichen has been arranged, just waiting for the auspicious time. "The emperor is heavy, his hair is white, but his body is like a pine and cypress, and his eyes are clear.

Zhao Luojia's chariot followed her father's chariot, and she immediately got off the chariot and saluted the national teacher and the Taifu Queen. She bent slightly, and before the salute was finished, she felt a breeze blowing on her face, reaching the back of her neck.

"The hairpin flower decorated by the princess is against this, and it is unlucky. Before the emperor's heavy voice fell, the hosta turned into powder and fell to the ground.

In Zhao Luojia's heart, he was slightly shocked, hateful, and afraid, and staggered successively, and when he was about to respond with words, he caught a glimpse of his father's hidden regret. Why did he deplore rather than be angry, and not denounce his own negligence?

"The National Teacher's anger is because I didn't explain it thoroughly. Taifu Le Yiheng on the side hurriedly confessed.

"I don't blame you for that. This hairpin is called the two-heart hairpin, which means that if the two hearts are like one heart, it will live up to the lovesickness, but it is a pity that it does not match the here and now. There is a spirit in the tower, and the body of the spirit bears, and the inheritance between the two must be a complete spirit. If the undertaking is not complete, it may not be possible. ”

"The eyes of the national teacher are like note, erudite and profound, and the soul of the fallen is bothered by the national teacher. Zhao Tianyin didn't mind Emperor Fangcai's move of breaking the hairpin, but instead entrusted the next thing to turn around.

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the undertaking has begun. Zhao Luojia followed the national teacher, followed the steps, and followed the stone steps to the Holy Spirit Gate in the apse.

The national teacher clasped his hands together, chanted in his mouth, and gently pushed, the door of the palace opened, and the nine-story Anling Pagoda came into view layer by layer.

From the base of the tower upwards, the body of the nine-story Anling Pagoda, I don't know what is cast, like gold not gold, like iron not iron. On the body of the tower, there are 20 emblems on each floor, five on each side, and a total of 180 pieces on nine floors. The emblem is a square, with a pair of ethereal eyes, and below it is a horizontal line running through three connected circles, each of which has a word written in it, and its meaning is spirit. At this time, each emblem was scorching. Further up, there is Tasha. In the brake seat, it is where the aura is. On top of the brake, there are dense words, which are lost ancient characters, and their meanings are the "Vipassana Pure Heart Sutra" and the "Six True Degrees Sutra". On the top of the brake, there are four ancient characters, the meaning of which is "the other side of the air".

The body of the tower is not high and not big, in the space of the apse that is wide and nine deep and five deep, it is not abrupt, but it gives people the feeling of being indestructible, eternal and unchanged.

First there is a tower, and then there is a temple.

The ancient tower in front of him was about to change his life, fate and longevity, Zhao Luojia settled down with a slightly agitated mind, sat on the futon, and heard the sound of the door closing from behind.

She knew that the reincarnation was about to begin.

Outside the temple gate, there was a faint voice from Taichang Siqing, "Welcome to God, beginning."

The sound of the bell chime gradually rose, and the music played the "Chapter of Yunsheng".

At the same time, at the place of the square altar, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple also issued the command of "welcoming the gods, the beginning", and the sacrificial music also sounded.

The human and animal used for the sacrifice have been transferred from the Divine Kitchen and the Kagura Department to the Imperial Vault. Eighty-one men and women, divided into eighteen columns, nine men each, male and female columns alternate, centered on the ground facing the very high point of the dome, in a divergent shape.

At this time, the Duanmu sequence was like a trance, and there was really something wrong with last night's meal. Looking at the companions in front of him who looked like walking corpses, he couldn't help but think of Uncle Huangfu's words, "The great transformation of the soul is so great that when it is sacrificed, people and animals must consume things that have paralyzing effects." Most of them use vine powder, which is most likely to be placed in the meal. "If you anticipate it in advance, you will be prepared for it. Every time he brought food, he would pay attention to the eunuch's expression, and at the same time, he would scrape some wall powder and mix it into the food. Although it is extremely difficult to swallow, it is better than dying.

The trance at this time is just to hide people's eyes and ears. As soon as the sound of sacrificial music started, he heard that this was the "Cloud Gate Divine Music", and it was indeed not included in the Huangfu uncle's estimate.
