Chapter 44: Lost Fish

In Shangshu Mansion, Feng Danmiao lay on the bed and fell asleep all night, his forehead wrapped in a thick layer of medicinal veil, reflecting red bloodstains. His eyes trembled, and he slowly woke up. This hit injured the skull, Feng Danmiao's eyes were scattered, in a trance, and there was no longer a resolute spirit between his eyebrows.

The imperial doctor stretched out his hand and pretended to be Feng Danmiao's face: "Lord Feng, how do you feel, Feng Da?" ”

However, there was no emotion on Feng Danmiao's face, his eyes never fixed on the eyes of the imperial doctor, first nodded again and again, and then shook his head, as if he understood, but did not seem to understand.

Feng Danmiao glanced around the bedroom, where Wei Ya and Shu Jin stood aside, but his gaze finally fell on the bow and arrow on the wall. Feng Danmiao put aside the imperial doctor and got out of bed, walked straight to the wall and took down the bow and arrow, as if he was being held by a ghost, and walked out of the door of the six gods.

Wei Ya hurriedly stopped him and pulled him back to the bed, "What are you doing with a bow and arrows?" ”

Feng Danmiao was stunned and spit out a few words: "Hunt tigers, otherwise they will eat him." ”

"Calm down." Even though Wei Ya is clever and eloquent, he doesn't know how to persuade him now, so he can only hold his shoulders tightly. Wei Ya was also sad in his heart, and he had accumulated some feelings with Youyu along the way.

Wei Ya lowered his head: "He... Nope. ”

Cangluan ordered the slaughter of all the fierce beasts in Beishan yesterday, and it is bound to find out that there are fish, and they will see people alive or corpses when they die. Opened the lairs of fierce beasts, and found a new or old white bone that had been eaten and mutilated, one of which belonged to Youyu.

Feng Danmiao's eyes seemed to be slightly condensed, looking squarely into Wei Ya's eyes, opening his mouth but unable to spit out words.

His eyes were more threatening than life, and Wei Ya did not dare to look directly, and with a trembling hand, he took out a small purse from his bosom, which contained a mess of hair.

"Mourn and change, this is found from the tiger's den, on a corpse that is still sticking to the flesh, the person has been unrecognizable, His Majesty has cremated the rest, and posthumously named him the king of Chen."

Feng Danmiao opened his purse, the dull yellow hair was mixed with tiger hair, he choked with his mouth tight, his eyes were scarlet and about to bleed, but he didn't shed a single tear.

After a long time, he spoke: "King Chen's ashes... Where is it? ”

"His Majesty performed a grand ritual at the altar, sprinkled the ashes of King Chen, and he went with the wind, he came from heaven, and now he has returned to heaven."

Feng Danmiao's eyes began to drift again, and she looked up at the sky outside the window in a daze.

Shu Jin asked the Imperial Doctor: "Imperial Doctor, how is Lord Feng's condition, can he be cured?" ”

The imperial doctor sighed in frustration: "Hey, Lord Feng has injured his brain and marrow, I'm afraid he won't be able to recover as before, the old man prescribes some medicine to relieve pain and calm the mind, whether it can be cured depends on his creation." ”

Feng Danmiao didn't speak again, and when Wei Ya and the others saw that he was quiet, they went back to the house. On the way, Shu Jin thought about it for a while, and felt that there was something strange about this matter, his mood was as calm as his face, and he could look at the problem calmly when everyone was hurting. He believed that a fish had died, but he did not believe that a fish had died in the jaws of a tiger.

No one has seen the death of a fish with their own eyes, who came up with the idea to go hunting in Beishan, how can there be no guards next to Youyu? I think there is only one reason, there is a fish that died of murder.

Shu Jin covered his forehead, and led Wei Ya to a sparsely populated place to express the doubts in his heart. "It must be a conspiracy."

Wei Yayan said seriously: "How can I see it." ”

"Think about it, why did you go to Beishan with a fish who didn't know how to hunt, when a fish was killed, there was no attendant beside him, he was timid and afraid that he would not take the initiative to break away from the guards, it was clear that someone was plotting to kill him." Shu Jin raised his head and looked at Wei Ya, and said word by word: "It is possible that the mastermind behind the scenes is His Majesty, and His Majesty has a reason to kill him." ”

Wei Ya was reminded by Shu Jin and suddenly realized that Cangluan had already had the idea of killing Youyu in order to consolidate the country, but Youyu was a hero, and he couldn't blatantly attack, so he designed to frame Youyu and send Youyu into the tiger's mouth to get rid of the crime. This is very logical, Cangluan kills people like hemp, what a pity to kill a hero.

But unfortunately, the person who died in the political struggle was originally used to sacrifice, and if he died, he died, and the person who knew it could only pretend to be ignorant in order to avoid the disaster of killing, and silently saw him off.

Although the fish died, it did not hurt anyone's interests, the princes and kings would not avenge him, and Wei Ya could not avenge him.

Wei Ya sighed helplessly: "Go back, we can't make decisions for him, we can only do something else." ”

"No, he deserves someone to remember the truth for him."

Wei Ya nodded knowingly, "You've changed." ”

Shu Jin didn't know why Wei Ya said this, so he turned his back to Wei Ya and walked forward, "Where have I changed." ”

Wei Ya liked his change, "You're a little more human." ”

――

King Chen died, Lucheng held three days of mourning, and the ten-mile long street was full of white silk.

Feng Danmiao buried the purse under the willow tree on the riverside outside the city, and since then he has been fishing by the river every afternoon, sitting for an hour, as quiet as a stake. Mo Yilou followed him silently, sometimes sitting idly, sometimes playing the flute and playing the piano, and when he was tired, he went back to the city by himself.

Feng Danmiao is now delirious, and Mo Yilou no longer needs to keep an eye on it.

Wei Ya asked Cangluan to resign and return to his hometown, and after toasting the last glass of wine under the willow tree, he and Shu Jin left Luzhou.

When Master Lin heard that his son-in-law was dead, he almost fainted, so he hurriedly picked up a lot of treasures and went to the Taoist temple to ask for a half-immortal fortune teller. The half-immortal is one hundred and twenty years old, and Master Lin is the apprentice of the half-immortal, and the art of physiognomy is to learn from the half-immortal. The half-immortal once said that he married an ugly wife and decided to fly Huang Tengda, and once said that the second emperor died and the new lord red pupil replaced him, all of which were fulfilled one by one. Master Lin was convinced of the half-immortals, and would rather believe in the words of Xuan Xuan than dare to believe the rumors.

Master Lin received a letter from his daughter the day before yesterday and learned that she went to Qianzhou alone, and the half-immortal said that she was the emperor's order, and she had a brutal personality, so Master Lin was not afraid that she would suffer, but now that there is a fish life, where should the childish spirit go.

The treasures brought by Master Lin this time are enough for the three years of incense in the Taoist temple, and the half-immortal promised to calculate a hexagram for him, arched the gods, and sprinkled seven copper coins on the incense case, and one of them fell into two, which is a warning from God. The demi-immortal's stunned expression seemed to see the angry face of the god, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he hurriedly returned all the treasures brought by Master Lin.

"Please go back, the secret of heaven must not be revealed."

Master Lin had heard the half-immortal say that the breaking of the copper coin was deliberately prevented by God from being interpreted by the fortune tellers, and if it was forcibly interpreted, it would cost the price, or the loss of life or the decline of the family. Master Lin became more and more anxious, he couldn't care too much, he just wanted to know the prophecy, how to return.

Master Lin immediately kowtowed to the half-immortal and begged: "Ask the master to speak bluntly, is my son-in-law's life in danger, and what is my daughter's future?" I am not afraid to sacrifice anything, even if it costs my life! ”

The half-immortal waved his hand helplessly: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to help you, and the old man can't do anything." If you go against the heavens, you will be damned. And you believe that your son-in-law is the Son of Heaven. ”

Master Lin can't be calm, there is a precedent in history to posthumously crown the emperor, if the future generations posthumously crown the fish as the emperor, what does this mean to his daughter, the prophecy of the childish spirit will be pregnant with the son of heaven, and who is pregnant with the dragon fetus.

Master Lin is a rough man, and his heart is anxious because he loves his daughter, even if he goes against the sky, he must know his daughter's future. "There is a fish that has been ordered to send the tiger's mouth, and the young spirit has become a widow, how can the emperor and queen say! Ask the master to tell him. ”

The half-immortal refused indifferently: "Even if you know the will of heaven, what is the use, you can't change it, instead of torturing your lifespan, you might as well go to Luzhou to find out what is going on, to find your daughter to share the family, you can go." ”

Master Lin was at a stalemate, and finally threatened with his life. The half-immortal had no choice but to change a copper coin to calculate it again for him. The hexagram finally shows: Yan will die, and Jin will succeed.

Master Lin looked at the hexagram in horror, and asked urgently: "Yan died and Jinji, why is there no my son?" ”

The half-immortal waved his hand to drive away Master Lin: "Your son-in-law is still alive, go ahead, don't leak the secret of heaven." ”

Master Lin didn't dare to bother the half-immortal again, and after kowtowing his head again, he went down the mountain, he was going to Qianzhou to visit Zhiling and comfort her not to be sad.
