Chapter 52 The Emperor's House 1

It is not difficult to break the illusion, and it is even so simple that as long as two people provide different expressions and find out the contradictory points, the illusion can be solved most of the time. Because, the illusion is a flat surface, seemingly flawless, and at the edge it is crumbling, contradictory, and cannot be justified at all.

Su Can saw that Zhao Ji had a piece of white flowers on his head, and looked a little annoyed, so he walked over, reached out and took it down, looked at it in his hand, and frowned.

Zhao Ji said: "You are saying that the death of my father and the emperor is because the illusion covers up the reality. In other words, the whole thing has nothing to do with "poisoning", but rather on "erosion". The curse in his body suddenly exerted force, making his body unbearable for a short period of time, so he vomited blood. His voice sank, "Yes, it's the same as the emperor's situation." Vomiting blood, weakened, incurable, and he was pointing at me, and he asked me, why did I kill him......"

"Then did you kill him?" Su Can asked lightly. He didn't have a head at all when he asked this question, just stared intently at the feather in his hand.

When he found someone following him in Fengle Building before, Su Can began to think about the reason. The aura possessed by the comer was very unfamiliar, neither a murderous outlaw nor a well-trained hired killer, but an unknown force, very persistent and fierce. However, at that time, Zhao Ji pretended to be drunk, and his superb acting skills even deceived him, he was full of thoughts about taking him back as soon as possible, and he had already asked the greedy wolf to deal with him, so he didn't take it too seriously. But once it was empty, he still found suspicious items on Zhao Ji's body, such as these white feathers, and the heavy snow was their disguise.

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Of course not! No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to murder the saint, am I crazy, or have I been fooled by the Gu......?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Su Can immediately looked up at him, Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, stopped, and the two said in unison: "Hit Gu!"

Zhao Ji suddenly came to his senses and said, "If you say that, it makes sense." The so-called 'curse' is 'Gu'. It looks like a serious illness and poisoning, but no amount of treatment will help in front of it. Since my father's generation, it has been forbidden to enter the palace with strange powers, and it is a taboo to pray to God and worship Buddha, alchemy and incense. Maybe it's out of fear of this kind of thing. Shao Yong, the only one who was expected to change all this, finally broke with his father, and his father disposed of Shao Yong's disciples in a normal way. - Ah, maybe, maybe it really is!"

Su Can said, "You go on." ”

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed: "Su Can, have you heard of it?" It was a long time before my father, even longer than Yingzong, that is, in the era of Renzong, the streets were full of people with extraordinary abilities. ”

"Oh?" Su Can raised his eyebrows, "It's the first time I've heard of such a story." ”

"That's also normal, it's too long ago, many people don't know, Song Gonggong is so knowledgeable and old, he will know better. According to him, it was a mythical time, and it was also told to me by my father-in-law Song, who took me when I was a child, that some people would turn into animals, some would hold on to a rope and climb into the clouds, and some would understand the birds. These stories are really fascinating, but every time I finish telling the story, I ask him, where are these people now? However, I don't believe it, I always think it's true. Father-in-law Song was always reluctant to tell me, so I ran to ask my brothers. The fourth brother likes me the most, so even if I ask him these children's cranky questions, he will answer me seriously. At first, he wrote nonsense, but after asking, he began to doubt himself, so he began to study it, but unfortunately there is no result so far, and he was arrested later......" Zhao Ji rubbed his head and said distressedly, "Ah, I'm far away." I don't know what I'm talking about anymore. ”

Su Can smiled faintly: "You want to say that what happened after that is likely to be related to these 'strange forces', and the reason why you are at a loss is also because the key information is blocked." ”

"That's it. Zhao Ji nodded and said, "If there is a lack of the transition between 'real' and 'illusory', many things will sound vain and incredible, and few people will believe it, and it will not be implemented, such as the 'Xia Gu' that we just thought of, and for example, my fourth brother." Does the so-called 'transfer the curse to him' mean that they have put a Gu on him? If this is the case with the fourth brother, is it the same with my father, and is it also the same with the emperor? If this is the case, then it is no wonder that it cannot be cured by ordinary methodsβ€”oh, I am so smart!" he couldn't help but applaud himself.

"Huh?" Su Can said, "Do you think you can deduce this, based on your ability alone?"

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "That's okay, it's all your credit, and the prince will also be handed over to you, okay?" He jumped down from his position, walked towards Su Can's position, and said, "Su Can, I'm going to find Gonggong Song, I'm going to ask him for clarification." I haven't seen Grandpa Song much since I became an adult, where does he live now, do you know?"

Su Can smiled and raised his hand to stop him from continuing to walk, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, why don't you ask me? I even know which wall you usually climb out of." ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah, too, you are with imperial equipment, you should be familiar with the location of every place in the palace and everyone's residence." But what are you looking at me for? Wait......" He suddenly became a little nervous, and whispered, "You won't tell the Queen Mother about this, will you?"

Su Can sneered - when he showed this wonderful and evil expression, the next sentence must not be good, he said in a calm tone, as if nothing happened: "You don't trust me too much. No, do you think I'm the only one who can see what you're doing?"

"Huh?" Zhao Ji suddenly lost all his thoughts, looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's over, it's done, I've done useless work for so many years...... but before his words fell, the person took half a step forward, and hit a hard object with a bang, and the whole person bounced back; he stared back with wide eyes, and when he looked forward, Su Can was standing in front of him clearly and clearly.

Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and touched the invisible place in front of him, and a transparent ice wall was raised, and his feet trembled with fear. This ice wall was silent, it was extremely transparent, and it was almost impossible to feel its coldness and hardness without hitting it, and it was not until this moment that Zhao Ji felt the slightest chill infiltrating from the outside world.

"I told you not to worry-" Su Can's smile was like the North Star in the night sky, white and bright, beautiful, he looked at Zhao Ji, who was running into walls everywhere and looked anxious, and said, "It's a shame that I came out with you, otherwise you would be trapped here now." ”

Zhao Ji said in a trembling voice: "When did the wall rise?"

"As soon as you started talking, someone passed by and cast a spell. Su Can raised his right hand, his fingers swirled around in mid-air for half a week, he gently touched the top of Zhao Ji's head, Zhao Ji looked along his fingers, only to see the scorching flames coming out of his fingertips, illuminating his eyes with orange-red firelight, and in an instant, the fire rain poured down, pouring and flowing on the ice wall, Zhao Ji saw white smoke hissing outside the wall, and before he could speak, Su Can asked him: "You kick this wall, can you kick it?"

Zhao Ji then kicked hard very obediently, and the ice wall did not move, so he replied to Su Can: "No." Why can I still hear you?"

Su Can looked at the ice wall and said, "You can realize that this is still saved, because it is a wall, and there is no cap." If you know some martial arts, you can try to come out of above...... No, the ice wall is too slippery. His face suddenly darkened, "It seems that they have finished the battle, and they passed by here without knowing it, and now they don't know where they have gone......"

"What am I going to do?" Zhao Ji asked.

"Step back. Su Can looked up, there was a faint fire burning in his eyes, and the dark red shone his pupils like amber, "Go to the middle, cover your eyes and squat down." ”

Zhao Ji said: "Okay." He did so, and when he squatted down, he quietly looked out through his fingers, and saw the rain of fire condensed into several round and huge fireballs, and the meteors dragged their long tails like shining tassels, and rushed towards the direction of the ice wallβ€”"Bang"! The ice wall shattered, and the ice slag was scattered, Zhao Ji hurriedly lowered his head, eager to bury himself between his knees, like an ostrich. The sound of crashing, shattering, and the crunch of melting ice weaves together into the music.

It seemed like a long time later, when Su Can approached him and patted him on the shoulder, he raised his head and saw the ice shattering around him. He stood up, looked at the debris on the ground, and muttered, "They've broken through the line over there......"

"Yes, it seems that ......" Su Can said lightly, "Yinfeng is dead." ”

Silver Wind's death is inseparable from himself. Zhao Ji knelt down with a thud in the direction of Yinfeng, kowtowed twice, and whispered a few words in his mouth: "Yinfeng, Master Kang, I will repay you later." Your family will be well fed. I don't have anything else but ......"

Time was pressing, so he quickly got up and said, "Let's go, Su Can, go to Gonggong Song." ”

"Okay. Su Can had already walked in front of him, and when he turned around, Zhao Ji saw that there seemed to be a looming tear in his eyes, and just about to ask him, Su Can took the first step and said with a slight sarcasm: "His Royal Highness King Duan, I haven't cried yet, where did you get such abundant feelings?"

Zhao Ji said: "I just felt uncomfortable because of your fire. I was still wondering where you lit the fire to fight the ice and snow, and it turned out that the source of this fire was your own body, which is amazing. ”

Su Can smiled, strode forward, and said: "Yes, otherwise, how do you think those deserters sent by Zhang Dian before, with my own strength, can solve them in an instant? Anyway, the fact that I'm a monster can't be changed, only when I become a royal weapon, no one will question it, and I can be regarded as having found a belonging. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Have you ever thought that if it was the companion of those people who came just now, would it not be so lonely?"

"What do you say? Su Can smiled bitterly, "I never thought about it. I only know that the few royal instruments that were born and died with me, crawling out of the pile of dead people, are my relatives. Silver Wind has no father or mother, and he lives alone until now, and he is my favorite brother. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, shook his body, and said gloomily: "Ah, is that so." If I hadn't rushed you just now......"

"People cannot be resurrected from the dead, and there is no if for what has happened. Don't think about it, I'm sad to be uncomfortable. Su Can finally showed a trace of impatience and said, "Go, don't wait for me to scold you." ”

Zhao Ji followed, and smiled reluctantly: "Su Can! But he laughed more ugly than he cried, and the miserable and miserable sky that was not dark was really not so beautiful.

Gonggong Song felt that he had lived for a long, long time.

When a person is a teenager, he feels that life is extremely long, and at this time he is asked to exchange half of his life for something, maybe he is also willing, and it is also in his teens that people will be the most depressed - because they have the most vigorous vitality, and they have never worried about death, because of this indifference, they will casually say that there is nothing to love in life.

And after a while, when the burden of life is on the shoulders, people are the busiest and most eager to live: it's too late to do anything, the old and the young, you must not die, you must hold on, you have to struggle, so that you can enjoy happiness after middle age, and you don't have to be as busy as now.

However, people are middle-aged, in their forties, people of this age are the most dead, all kinds of accidents and diseases have come to the body, it is a punishment for their previous overdraft of the body, at this time life has become extremely fragile, people are afraid of death and helpless, simply go directly into old age, at least someone to take care of, enjoy this old age with one day less than one day, and watch the children and grandchildren on the rocking chair, but it is not worth this life.

But the eighty-year-old father-in-law Song has no heirs, and he has lived long enough, so that he feels that life is too long, and he has lost his meaning, with the passage of time, the anxiety of the past middle age, the high spirit of youth and the freedom of youth have disappeared in the long river of time, only the bright moon of the year is a round and clear big roulette wheel shining, everything else no longer exists, and the only thing he fears is that one day he will forget everything.

Gonggong Song entered the palace very early, and he was purified at the age of five or six, and invited the three old and four young to be witnesses, stating that he voluntarily purified himself regardless of life and death, so as not to cause trouble in the future, but the most important thing is that if he makes a fortune, he can get some benefits, and the later report is an extraneous thing. Gonggong Song vaguely remembered the old eunuch who introduced him into the palace, stroked his head with a trembling hand, and said, This child is well-behaved and sensible, and he will definitely be able to be like a fish in water in the palace in the future, and I can be regarded as having a child.

He lay on his back on a stone slab, several men holding his waist and legs, strips of cloth covering his abdomen and thighs. His body was washed with chili pepper water, and his consciousness was clearer than his head, like a rag that had been pulled extremely thin. Shattered. He heard someone ask him, "Do you regret it?"

"No regrets. He said.

At that time, it was the reign of Injong. After Renzong, there was Yingzong, then Shenzong, and now Zhezong.

He has seen four generations of emperors, four worlds, experienced countless intrigues, joys and sorrows, and knows that only silence is the way to survive. Without saying a word, he watched as his companion died, his master was murdered, and the princess tried to entrap him, and he kept his eyes open and walked in step by step.

After a few decades, he felt tired, and his only thought was to want a "normal" child - this was difficult to achieve, and the eunuch adopted his son, who entered the palace and was still a eunuch. So Gonggong Song began to help take care of several princes during the Shenzong period, the fourth prince Zhao Shen was leisurely, the sixth prince Zhao was steady, the ninth prince Zhao Tong was precocious, the eleventh prince Zhao Ji was naΓ―ve, and the thirteenth prince Zhao seemed to be withdrawn. He knew the personalities of the princes well, and he knew how to make them happy. He raised them as grandsons, watching them walk one by one, listening to his stories, they were all his own flesh and blood, and such a leisurely life was also very happy - at that time, Song Gonggong was already in his sixties, he wanted nothing, and lived a comfortable and happy life.

At that time, Gonggong Song felt that he had fulfilled his great wish in life, and his only hope was to die early. The only time he invested his feelings in people was in these princes. However, he couldn't see them grow up, he couldn't see the fight, he struggled psychologically for a long time, and even hoped that he could die sooner, so that he didn't have to see the bloody storm.

However, things were completely different from what he expected, Shenzong died so early that before he reached the age where he could fight, Zhezong was ignorant and took the throne, and the remaining princes were crowned princes one after another, and everything ended in a comedy at such a tragic beginning. As long as you live, you can see anything, Song Gonggong thought to himself. He happily sent a few grown princes out of the palace, although he was reluctant to give up, at least they were safe after leaving the palace. As soon as he enters the palace gate, he can survive, but other people may not be.

Father-in-law Song's rocking chair became empty as the last prince, King Jian, left like Zhao. Song Gonggong lay on it alone and squinted his eyes for a long time, from summer to winter, the rocking chair entered the room from the outdoor sunlight, and was silent for a long time, and finally had a voice again, from a human voice to the meow of a kitten. Cats are delicate creatures, and they don't seem to be able to leave people for a moment, rubbing your legs around and around just won't let them go, which makes Song Gonggong's heart bloom. Later, Song Gonggong found out that once the cat is full of food and drink, it will walk away, and when you walk over, it will stay away from the old people.

Gonggong Song was very sad at first, but then thought about it, after all, they still need him, not to mention that they are so cute.

As a result, more and more cats are raised, and there are more and more breeds. The white and clean big white cat, a raccoon cat with tiger skin is already considered a basic operation, and the later stage is not counted as a completely eye-catching, others saw that the respected Song Gonggong fell in love with the cat, so he searched for all kinds of cats from all over the world and gave them to him, like what gray-blue fur, Round-headed and round-headed, white-haired, with a black mask on his face and dark blue eyes like a lake, a head as flat as a basin, and a nose that collapsed like a seal when he drank water, huge like a hound, with long hair and long legs like a lion's cub, a leopard-like pattern, lean and lean, and even a strange breed with a smooth body and only pink wrinkled skin. Gonggong Song did not refuse to come, and obviously enjoyed it, and his courtyard was like heaven with cats barking one after another every day.

With cats, Gonggong Song also forgot about the princes. Even if the emperor was poisoned, the princes gradually showed signs of cannibalism, and a little eunuch ran to tell him, he just lowered his head and added cat rice to the bowl, and dozens of cats next to him meowed and came over, rubbed the little eunuch's legs, and rolled in front of him.

The little eunuch was at a loss, watching the cat screaming and walking towards him, Gonggong Song ignored him again, he was in a hurry, leaned forward, and stepped on the tail of a big-tailed cat, the cat screamed and jumped to the side, turned around and hissed at him.

Gonggong Song frowned and said, "Oh, you're scaring my cat! Why are you so anxious, Liuzhi? How did the master teach you before, have you forgotten it? Useless stupid guy, hey, it's not as obedient as my cats." He stroked the cat's back and whispered, "Snowball doesn't cry, grandpa rubs ......."

The little eunuch named Liuzhi cried and said eagerly: "Master, the apprentice also knows that he can't come to disturb you if he has nothing to do. But Master, something big has happened, something big has happened in the palace!"
