------Off topic------
Qin Lian immediately asked, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?" ”
About another hour passed, and the little eunuch ran back earlier, glanced at Qin Lian, and said to the queen, "Niangniang, the person who spread the rumors has found out." ”
Qin Lian also knew that no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't resist it, so she could only purse her lips and nodded.
The queen came to Qin Lian's side with Ruyi's help, and said to her, "The emperor and your father have gone, Xie Shizi has also gone, and the left and right ministers are said to have also gone with them." The fire in the Fafo Temple is in the back of the mountain forest, and it is daytime, at most the temple is lost, and it should not burn people. Rest assured. ”
Qin Lian ran out of the inner hall, and sure enough, he saw that the northern sky was half red. Her face turned white.
Ruyi suddenly felt that she had done something wrong, and the county lord was naturally very worried about Prince Ying and the second prince of Zheng, she bit her lip, and hurriedly helped the queen to collapse and go out of the palace with some remorse.
The queen glanced at Ruyi and was a little annoyed by her, "Come and help me out." ”
Qin Lian sat up politely, "I'll go out and have a look, too." He immediately ran out.
After another half an hour, Ruyi entered the inner hall and said worriedly, "Queen Mother, I see that the sky in the north is red, and the fire in the Fafo Temple seems to be burning more and more fiercely, and the monks seem to be unable to extinguish it, especially if there is still wind today." ”
The queen glanced at her, knew she was worried, and stopped talking.
Qin Lian snorted and couldn't help but smile. But as soon as she laughed, she remembered the matter of the Dharma Buddha Temple again, and immediately put away her laughter. Snuggled softly and leaned against the queen by her side.
The queen smiled, "Your pity is not pitiful pity. It's pity, love and pity. ”
"It's all his fault, I said why am I so pitiful!" Qin Lian said.
The Queen shook her head, "No. It's your brother Qin Zheng. Seeing that she couldn't believe it, she smiled and said, "Your brother was just able to speak and read at that time. He was very happy when you were born. Your father had given you a name, but your brother stubbornly held a book and pointed to a word on it, insisting that you call it. ”
Qin Lian's eyes widened suddenly, "Didn't my father take it?" ”
The queen patted her gently, "Your name was chosen by your brother, do you know?" ”
"When I was young, I thought the palace was not good, it was like being enclosed in a cage that did not see the light of day, and I longed for the outside of the palace very much. Now that I've grown up, I'm gradually getting used to the grass and trees in the palace, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. This is the most noble place in the world, everyone can't wait to be me, how many people in the world envy me for the blessing of being raised by you, if I am inferior and self-pitying, mediocre people disturb themselves, it is really boring. Qin Lian said.
The queen smiled, "Prince Ying's Mansion is free, if you are raised in Prince Ying's Mansion, you can do whatever you want, and no one will restrain you." But in this deep palace it is different. There are also many times when you go out of the palace. ”
Qin Lian let go of her, withdrew from her embrace, and looked at her seriously, "Naturally, it's true." Growing up in the palace has the benefits of growing up in the palace, the imperial aunt has not treated me badly for so many years, and Brother Qin Yu has always regarded my cousin as his own sister, and he wants me to pick up the stars and the moon. It's much stronger than Qin Zheng's broken brother. ”
"Really?" The queen asked.
Qin Lian shook her head, "How could I blame the imperial aunt?" If it weren't for the imperial aunt who raised me in the palace. If I had been raised in Prince Ying's mansion, I would have become a little demon king who everyone feared like my brother. ”
The queen looked at her, was silent for a moment, touched her head and asked in a low voice, "Li'er, do you blame the imperial aunt for keeping you by her side and raising you in this palace?" ”
Qin Lian hugged the queen, seemed to be looking for warmth, and didn't leave for half a sound.
The queen saw her soft little body pounce into her arms, although there was no longer the milky fragrance of her childhood, there was a girlish fragrance in the end. She has raised her for many years, after all, she has a deep relationship, although her son is raised by her side, but he does not live in her Fengluan Palace, and lives separately from her, most of the time, the deep palace is lonely, and this little girl is with her. She knew in her heart that if she was raised in Prince Ying's mansion, then she would definitely be happier than being raised in the deep palace, but because she was selfish, she was tied to her side and restrained her nature. Now that he has only done such one thing for her, he is so grateful, and it also makes her feel a little sad to look at her.
Qin Lian looked at the queen gratefully, walked over and hugged her, "Aunt Huang, you are so good." ”
"Yes!" The little eunuch got Yi's decree, didn't dare to delay, and immediately left Fengluan Palace.
The queen knew that although Qin Lian had a naughty side in her temperament, she had always been dignified and steady in front of her, and today she could be regarded as forcing out her temperament, so she was in a hurry. Think about it from another perspective, if the people who are staying in the Dharma Buddhist Temple are her mother, brother, and future sister-in-law, she will not be able to sit still. What's more, for so many years, Prince Ying has treated her well. She waved her hand, "Go ahead!" If you make a movement, you will find a movement, so be sure to check it out clearly. Let's see who exactly is walking in the capital rumors. ”
The little eunuch looked at the queen.
"What are you afraid of making a big fuss? No matter how big the movement is, it can be compared to the movement of the Dharma Buddha Temple that is about to be destroyed by fire? Qin Lian raised his foot and kicked him, "Now go check it out!" ”
The little eunuch trembled with fright, "County Lord, if you really want to make a big move, it's not that you can't find out, but you may make a big fuss." ”
"If you can't find it, you have to check it, you can always find the source! I don't believe that this small capital can have people with hands and eyes, and even the royal family can't find out. Qin Zheng glared at the little eunuch angrily, and said fiercely, "Check them out for me one by one." If you find out that there is a reward, if you can't find out, you just wait for your head to move! ”
About half an hour later, the little eunuch came back and said to the queen, "The rumors came from outside the palace, and now the people's hearts are restless and panicked, and there is no way to find out this rumor everywhere." ”
The queen looked at Qin Lian, thinking that she was not her own daughter, she had been raised by her side for many years, if she was filial, she was also extremely filial, on par with her son Qin Yu, she was hurt by a fall, and she was also crying and anxious. But in the end, there is a feeling that it is blood and family, and she can't ask for it.
Qin Lian couldn't leave, and she was still uneasy.
The little eunuch hurriedly responded, got the order, and went out of Fengluan Palace.
The queen nodded, called a little eunuch, and gave him an order.
"Then send someone to find out, who is to blame?" Qin Lian said anxiously and ruthlessly, "If it is found out, I will definitely not be able to spare that person who is a stranger." ”
The queen pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Not long after the fire started, there were even rumors like this in the palace. I'm afraid that someone is behind it. ”
Qin Lian pursed her lips and said impatiently, "Where did that rumor come from outside, it's really hateful, how could it be that Sister Fanghua caused the fire from the sky?" This is ridiculous. ”
"Li'er, it's not that I won't let you go, it's useless for you to go, and you can't help much. You are relieved, the emperor, the prince, and Xie Shizi have all gone. Surely they will be safe. The queen looked at her gently and said calmly, "Your mother handed you over to me, the more critical it is, the more you can't run around." Your safety is also extremely important. What if your mother is okay and I let you out, and something happens to you? ”
Qin Lian went back and forth in the queen's palace, and begged anxiously, "Aunt Huang, just let me go out of the palace and go to the Dharma Buddha Temple to have a look!" I really don't worry about my mother, brother and sister Fanghua. ”
Even in the palace, such a saying has been introduced.
Combined with the statement that she has been sick for many years due to the catastrophe of blood and light, this fire suddenly came, and almost no one believed it.
This kind of rumor is extremely fast, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, it has spread all over the streets and alleys of Beijing, and the old, weak, women and children all know about it.
That is, Xie Fanghua went to the Dharma Buddhist Temple to pray for blessings, but because of the evil spirit on her body, she polluted the Buddha's Holy Spirit, and a fire fell from the sky to burn her.
Looking at the northern sky, somehow, a rumor quietly spread in the capital at an extremely rapid speed.
Just when the people's hearts were restless, they saw the emperor, Prince Ying, Xie Shizi, and the left and right chariots and horses out of the city and rushed to the Dharma Buddha Temple.
The people were even more frightened, should they let the fire go on like this? The weather is dry and dry, what if the fire burns to the capital by the direction of the wind?
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they received the emperor's decree that the city gate should be closed, and no one was allowed to leave the city. Violators are punished as felonies.
For a time, no one in Beijing was shocked.
Today, the Dharma Buddha Temple suddenly caught fire, and the fire momentum was fierce, directly burning half of the northern sky.
The Fafo Temple has always been prosperous with incense, and it is praised as the Holy Buddha Temple by the Southern Qin. Every three years, Master Puyun will open the altar to preach the Dharma, and where there is a great famine, the Dharma Buddhist Temple will send people to give good porridge. Yes, it is respected by the people of the world.
Fafo Temple is the largest temple in Southern Qin, since the establishment of a thousand years, there have only been two fires, one is two hundred years ago the fire burned down half of the Buddhist temple, the refusal of the master in the fire to die. The second fire is today.
The news of the fire in the Fafo Temple spread all over the alleys of the capital of Nanqin, within a radius of 100 miles.
Compared with here, the capital is not so quiet, not only is it not quiet, but people in Beijing are panicked for a while.
The mountains and forests here are quiet, and the courtyard is quiet, as if it is out of the world.
After Xie Mohan and Xie Yun sent Cui Jing to the west room, they went into the next room together to talk about things and play chess.
There was still a fine rain outside, neither big nor small, but there was no sign of stopping, lingering.
After another half-ring, they both fell asleep together. Tossing this day, it was really tiring, especially Qin Zheng, he was hit by Xie Fanghua's special soft tendons, and he used his luck to compete, and then he was hit by a palm, which greatly damaged his vitality. sustained this day without falling, which can be regarded as his ability.
Xie Fanghua's eyelashes moved, and he stopped talking.
I didn't want him to be silent for a while, but he said, "It will convince you." The words fell, and added, "There will come a day." ”
Xie Fanghua thought that he wouldn't say anything, after all, the word convincing was too broad, what was convincing? Believe or serve?
Qin Zheng smiled, turned his face, and closed his eyes as well.
Xie Fanghua turned his face away, was silent for a moment, turned his head again, closed his eyes and said, "Unless you can convince me." ”
"Can't you sue me just in case?" Qin Zheng looked at her with some hurt.
Xie Fanghua looked at his serious appearance and laughed angrily, going around and around, it turned out that he still wanted to get out of hers. She lowered her face, "You don't fight this idea again, I will tell you clearly, it is impossible." ”
"Then you should tell me what you're going to do, right? Only if you sue me, can I really not stop you for you. Qin Zheng stared at her.
Xie Fanghua looked at him and didn't answer.
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by something that doesn't stop you?" ”
Xie Fanghua heard his lazy tone say chilling words, and he didn't know whether to listen to them as sweet words or as threats. In short, it is uncomfortable to listen to. frowned and said, "Qin Zheng, if you can not block what I want to do, then, perhaps, in three years, I may marry you." ”
"Your love calamity is naturally mine, where can there be others!" Qin Zheng put down his hand and snorted softly, "Master said, you can only belong to me in this life." If you can't live for a lifetime, then the imperial land is the quilt, the yellow spring is the road, and you will see you underground. ”
Xie Fanghua waved his hand away, "Don't talk nonsense." If your love affair is mine, then who is my love affair? ”
"My love calamity is you!" Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to hook a strand of her hair and sighed lightly.
Xie Fanghua was slightly stunned, and looked at him carefully, although Qin Zheng was a layman, he was sometimes an elegant person. Although it is mixed with the world, it is easy to navigate and outside the world. There is some truth to it.
"Once, someone said that I had a Dao root, but I had no Dao fate." Qin Zheng muttered in a low voice, "The reason is that the marriage tribulation is my love tribulation, and I can pass the six desires, but I can't pass the love tribulation." ”
Xie Fanghua heard the words as if she had heard a fantasy. How can a person like Qin Zheng who has entered the world enter the Tao? All over the world, he believes there is nothing he hasn't played. Of course, except for women, it seems that there really isn't. But in addition to this point of cleanliness and self-improvement, he should have dabbled in all the places he should have dabbled in. Treat the world as nothing. Where can a cultivator be?
Qin Zheng sighed, was silent for a moment, and said to him, "If you say that you almost entered the Tao at the beginning, can you believe it?" ”
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Second son Zheng, you can't do it by feeling." How do you know that my grandfather didn't come back for Mobei's uncle, or my brother, or the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion and the Boling Cui clan? ”
"Feel!" Qin Zheng said.
Xie Fanghua's mind moved, "How do you say that?" ”
"I suspect that Grandpa's return has something to do with you. Do you believe it or not? Qin Zheng was pushed away by her and didn't come over again.
Xie Fanghua snorted with her nostrils, he made an unreasonable request, and she naturally wouldn't agree to it anyway. What to compensate?
Qin Zheng pursed his lips, "You're angry with Ye, can't Ye get closer to you to make amends?" ”
Xie Fanghua was amused, and reached out to push him away, "Where can I guess?" Just speak well, my ears are not deaf, I can hear, what is the most important thing for you to get so close? ”
Qin Zheng turned his head, leaned closer to Xie Fanghua's ear, and whispered, "What do you guess is the secret that grandpa didn't say?" ”
The two men in the back room were both ears-on-ear, and soon heard the sound of even breathing coming from outside.
Prince Ying and Princess Ying were frightened today, and now they are tired of tossing this day, and they fell asleep after lying down for a short time.
The inner and outer rooms fell silent.
Princess Ying reached out and touched the dirt pit, which was also burned warm and hot, and she also lay down.
The courtyards in the mountains are all earthen kangs, the inner houses are earthen kangs, and the middle houses are the same.
Several people nodded, and they all retreated.
"Today, I am also tired, and I will sleep for a while, this place is quiet, and there will be no miscellaneous things to disturb. You don't have to keep watch, go and rest. Prince Ying waved her hand to a few people.
The waiter, the waiter, the waiter, the waiter, the waiter, the cuihe, and the cuilian were all in the middle room, and when they saw the princess and princess coming out, they all gave her a salute and asked her if she was resting.
Princess Ying glanced at the two people lying on the pit and walked out of the back room slowly.
The three of them said they would leave, and in a blink of an eye, they went out of the room.
"Let's go over together!" Xie Mohan also stood up.
"I'll send you to your room!" Xie Yunji also stood up.
"It's good!" Cui Jing nodded.
"Uncle Jing, you just rushed to Beijing today, right? Although my niece wants to talk to you more, she can't tire you out because you are tired all the way. When you come back this time, why do you have to stay a little longer, I want to talk to you for a long time. Let's go to your room and rest today! Prince Ying also stood up.
"Let's go! We went to stay elsewhere, we were here, and the two children couldn't fall asleep. Cui Jing stood up.
Xie Yunji glanced over to the earthen kang and saw that although Qin Zheng and Xie Fanghua were lying quietly, they couldn't hear the sound of their even breathing, and knew that they were not asleep. Everyone knows that if this country is turbulent, then it is the Xie family and the imperial power.
Xie Mohan lowered his eyelashes and didn't speak.
"Then the country is shaken." Prince Ying sighed, "Uncle Jing, your Dao method is extremely profound. You are right to observe the nebula, this year, the dark tide of Nanqin has been surging, and it is very uncalm. When the words fell, she paused and glanced at Xie Mohan, "It is also possible that the country will be shaken." ”
Cui Jing nodded.
Princess Ying pursed her lips, "The emperor is still in the prime of life, and he will reign for at least ten years. ”
Cui Jing stroked his beard, "It should be today's fire!" Nanqin was going to change because of this fire. Since ancient times, there are only two possibilities for the great changes in the sky, one is the rotation of the star master, and the other is the shaking of the country. ”
"Now you've gone this way, but what have you found? Have you seen it through? Prince Ying asked again.
"Yes, I only comprehended the first half of the hexagram at that time, and the Taoism was too shallow, so I didn't understand the second half of the hexagram. So, I set off for a walk. Cui Jing still said the same thing.
"You said earlier that you set up a gossip stargazing array with a friend in Qingyun Mountain, and you happened to catch a glimpse of the celestial phenomena in the capital of Southern Qin. The stars of Southern Qin shifted, the sea of stars was vertical and horizontal, the clouds were discolored, and the fire burned the heavenly peak. This is a great omen. You just went back to Nanqin? "Prince Ying and Princess Ying always felt that Cui Jing was hiding something and didn't reveal it to them.
"After the death of the Purple Cloud Dao Immortal, I took over him and guarded Wuli Mountain." Cui Jing sighed, "Later, I met some Taoist friends, and I have been studying Taoism for so many years. ”
"After the death of the Purple Cloud Dao Immortal, you will stay in Wuli Mountain?" Princess Ying had never heard of Wuli Mountain, and she guessed that it should be an immortal mountain in the East China Sea.
"Soon after we returned to Wuli Mountain from Meizu." Cui Jingdao.
"When did the Purple Cloud Dao Elder pass away? Could it be that the immortal died in Meizu? Princess Ying remembered that she seemed to see the Taoist from afar, an ordinary Taoist priest was dressed in a gray robe, but he was a purple robe, really like an immortal in the sky. At that time, it was rumored that Cui Jing was taken away by the immortals.
Xie Yunji stopped.
Cui Jing glanced at Xie Yunji and shook his head, "Don't say it!" ”
"What did he do?" Xie Yunji, who had not spoken, asked.
"Those who cultivate the Tao cultivate the mind, the realm, the enlightenment, and the penetration." Cui Jing said slowly, "Although the Dao Master of Ziyun is profound, he has reached the peak. But because he repeatedly peeked into the heavens and did something against the sky, he finally got the backlash from God. The immortal is gone. ”
Princess Ying was scolded by Cui Jing for being a silly girl, and immediately laughed, how many years has she not been scolded like this stupid girl.
Cui Jing smiled, "Silly girl, where is there any immortality in the world?" ”
"Isn't it true that a cultivator can live forever? How could it be immortal? Fei Deng became an immortal? Prince Ying immediately asked.
"The Purple Cloud Dao Immortal has passed away." Cui Jingdao.
"It turns out that the head of the Purple Cloud Dao was born in Meizu!" Xie Mo was surprised for a moment, "Grandpa, where is the Purple Cloud Dao Chief now?" ”
Cui Jing was silent for a moment and said, "The Purple Cloud Daoist was born in Meizu, and he was taken away from Wanli Guan Mountain to cultivate since he was a child. Later, it was decided that it was Wuli Mountain on the top of the seamount. He has practiced for many years, and his Taoism is profound, and he has spied out the heavenly opportunity, and Meizu will be destroyed in order to save Meizu. He left the top of the seamount and hurried back to the outer lands. In the end, it was a step too late. ”
"Who is the Purple Cloud Daoist? Why did he go to Meizu? Xie Mohan looked at Cui Jing and asked the key.
Cui Jing stopped talking, even though the past twenty years had passed, he still didn't want to look back.
"How so? Meizu was really wiped out back then? "Princess Ying was a little incredulous. One can imagine what it is like to be desolate for thousands of miles, full of blood, without a living person, without a living thing, without a living grass.
Prince Ying and Princess Ying were suddenly startled, and several people in the room were also shocked at the same time.
"Meizu, ah......" Cui Jing sighed, looking back at the tunnel, "Thousands of miles of desolation." Except us, there is no living man, not a living creature, not a living grass. ”
"How was Meizu back then?" Princess Ying asked Cui Jing.
Qin Zheng's eyelids moved, his eyelashes trembled, he held Xie Fanghua's hand and pinched it, and opened his eyes at the same time.
Xie Fanghua originally wanted to sleep, but when he heard Cui Jing mention the word "Mei" clan, he suddenly opened his eyes.
