Chapter 460: The Deadbreaker

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and a drop of sweat rolled down the tip of Yu Shu's nose, she blinked, raised her eyes slightly and peeked at the Da'an Emperor who was bowing to the sky on the Temple of Heaven in front of her, muttering in her heart why it was not finished.

The high-spirited singing of the ceremonial official did not stop, paragraph after paragraph, Yu Shu was a little upset when he heard it, as if a bee was buzzing in his head, and those blue-robed Taoists were scattered around the Temple of Heaven next to the nine big tripods, and the large handfuls of incense were lit one by one with rune paper, and the white smoke soon filled the human eyes.

At first glance, there was a gust of east wind, wrapped in hot air, Yu Shu was almost sneezed by the incense, gritted his teeth and endured, this blink of an eye, the sun in the sky was suddenly covered by clouds, suddenly gloomy, and there was a feeling that mountain rain was coming.

Yu Shu secretly wondered, according to her the day before yesterday, there shouldn't be rain today.

Just thinking about it, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in my ears-

"Boom!"

In the crowd, one or two women exclaimed, and the scene began to be chaotic, Xue Rui, who was listed among several civil servants, looked up at the layers of clouds in the sky, and his mood was a little depressed and dull for some reason, and he had a bad premonition.

Yu Shu was also frightened by the thunder, and couldn't help but look up, but saw that between the mountains in the distance, serpentine silver lightning lit up, so it was not thrilling

At the bottom of the Temple of Heaven, the sound of howling wind filled the cave, lightning and thunder outside, and the thousands of eyeholes on the top wall gradually dimmed.

Jing Chen stared motionlessly at the secluded pool in front of him, and Zhu Muzhao stood beside him, his expression solemn, looking up from time to time, and the hand behind his back was clenched into a fist.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the tranquil pool of water rippled, circle after circle, as if an invisible palm was stirring the surface of the water, and the turbid water color slowly became clear, very treacherous.

Jing Chen's steady heartbeat intensified with the ripples in front of him, his eyes became a little confused, and his heart swayed, but he heard a series of secret words in his ears:

"The avenue is invisible, and the world is born; The avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon; The avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time"

Jing Chen's mind was blank, his soul was out of his body, everything in his heart was empty, only the bright ripples in front of him, and a blurred figure in a circle, came to the surface.

Zhu Muzhao recited the Taoist mantra of purifying the heart in a low voice, while looking at Jing Chen, watching his face being photocopied by a trace of water, and his expression changed slightly.

After a flick of his fingers, with a light gasp, Jing Chen suddenly came back to his senses and closed his eyes. And the pool of water faded and calmed down in an instant.

Zhu Muzhao pinched his sweaty palms, patiently waited for him to calm down, and then asked in a deep voice:

"How, but see?"

Jingchen was silent for a long time, opened his eyes and looked at the pool of water, and stretched out his hand to gently touch the calm water, but except for the coldness and wetness from his fingertips, it was like ordinary water, and what he saw with his own eyes just now was just an illusion.

"I see it."

Zhu Muzhao's eyes lit up with a touch of joy: "Is it a man or a woman, have you ever seen it?" ”

"Can Shi Bo tell me first, after finding the lifebreaker, how to solve my life fate?"

The same question, before today, Jingchen asked more than once, and each time he was simply prevaricated by Zhu Muzhao with the words "the time has not come", but before Jingchen went down the mountain, the head and the master did not explain too much about it, so in order to crack the fate, he could only obey Zhu Muzhao's arrangement, which was the chief of the Si Tianjian Command.

Zhu Muzhao didn't answer immediately when he heard this, looking at his expression, he seemed to be thinking about something.

Jing Chen shook off the water droplets in his hand, stood up straight, turned his head, looked at Zhu Muzhao, and said:

"You don't have to hide it, I know that I am a 'great peace and misfortune', and I am burdened with a hundred years of luck - a great fortune and a disaster. If you can't find the lifebreaker, not only the elders of the division will be affected, but the world will also be turbulent, now I know who the fatebreaker is, you might as well tell the truth, how to break your life. ”

Zhu Muzhao was slightly stunned, then retracted his chin, and said with a solemn face: "Where did you learn this?" ”

Jing Chen's eyes were not shocked, and he said insightfully:

"I was cultivating in the mountains, originally not vulgar, after going down the mountain, I came into contact with the prosperity and decline of the world, and I was suspicious, although my mother was a princess, my father's name moved, but people died like a lamp went out, the emperor took pity on my life, but there was no need to make a big move, so that several people in Longhu Mountain were able to continue the life of an orphan in my life, and I wanted to have another hidden feeling. And the cultivator obeys the mandate of heaven, why did the master sacrifice his life to save my orphan's life and change his life against the sky, if my guess is right, there must be some kind of agreement between the Da'an royal family and Zhengyi, which is commonly known as the 'price'. ”

"Later, my junior sister Shui Yun entered Beijing, and said that it was to enter the world in response to the robbery, but I realized that she was ordered by the teacher, and deliberately monitored me, and was tempted by me several times, and she told me the inside story of the 'Da'an Misfortune', and I confirmed it - I am not the only one who wants to find the person who broke the life, but the Da'an royal family also wants to find the person who broke the life."

Listening to this confession, Zhu Muzhao's palms moved, looking at Jing Chen's face similar to that of the person in his memory, and in a trance, as if he saw the man who was calm and light-hearted, he said softly:

"You, like your father, seem confused, but you know better than anyone else."

Jingchen's eyes darkened, a little bitterness leaked between his eyebrows, his parents died early, he was raised by his teacher, he was surrounded by all kinds of strange eyes since he was sensible, the loneliness and unwillingness of his youth were covered by heavy kindness, pain can not be sad, joy can not be happy, sadness can not be resentful, anger can not be angry, always remember his life. But in the end, the elders who raised him value his identity more, and the uncle who loves him is for the sake of national fortune, and even his father, who was martyred for his mother, may not care about his life or death.

In just nineteen years of life, there is only a small period that can be called happy-

It is only during that short period of time that there will be someone who treats him with sincerity and sincerity

Small fish.

In order to force him to cut off his love thread that day, the younger sister did not hesitate to tell him the truth about the "Great Safety Misfortune", and made him choose, just to see through his mind and ask him to break off that obsession.

He was ruthless, cut off his robe with her, and used those high-sounding reasons to cover his true fear, he is a great peace, if he delays the national fortune because of a momentary personal relationship, then the saint will not let her go when he learns the reason.

After that, he recited the Pure Heart Mantra a hundred times a day to stabilize his Dao heart, and he didn't dare to indulge himself until today, when he saw the life-breaking man in the shadow of the Yellow Spring.

"Alas," Zhu Muzhao sighed heavily, put his hand on Jing Chen's shoulder, and said softly: "You are only half right, the Holy Lord sent you to Zhengyi, not only because you are a great peace and misfortune, but also because you are the child of Princess Luyue, the royal bloodline, and his own nephew." ”

Jing Chen's expression did not move, and he looked at him: "Then you tell me, after you find the lifebreaker, how to crack it?" ”

He no longer wants to be kept in the dark, manipulated by others, and his every move is arranged.

Zhu Muzhao noticed his distrust, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he put his hand down on his shoulder, turned his head to look at the pool of yellow spring water, and said expressionlessly:

"Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you know who is the lifebreaker, according to the record in the "Xuannu Liuren Book", the lifebreaker is a man, then the killing sacrifice to the sky can protect Da'an's three-hundred-year foundation, and you don't have to be trapped by the stars anymore."

A cold look flashed in Jingchen's eyes, "What if it's a woman?" ”

Zhu Muzhao looked back at him and smiled slightly: "If it is a woman, I want you to tie the knot with her, as long as you give birth to offspring, your life will be ruined, and you can have no worries." ”

Jing Chen was stunned, his heartbeat missed two beats, his face was a little delicate, but his mouth was questioning:

"What is the Book of Xuannu Liuren, can I see it with my own eyes?"

Zhu Muzhao took in his expression, shook his head, and said: "The Book of Xuannu Liuren is a relic of Empress Ning Zhen, and there are many secrets recorded on it. If you don't believe me, you can think about it, why do the evil people stick to the heart of the Dao? ”

Jingchen groaned: "Master told me that if I don't find a broken person, if I love and hate at will, I will cause natural disasters**." ”

Zhu Muzhao sneered, "That's why they lied to you, they didn't let you be emotional, and they didn't have to do anything to do with it, but in fact, it was to prevent you from being killed when you find a lifebreaker, and you can't bear to kill a man, and you can't marry a woman, so that they will be busy in vain." ”

Jing Chen's pupils constricted, and he looked at Zhu Duzhao in disbelief, trying to distinguish the truth from his face—the warning that had made him cautious turned out to be a lie?

Zhu Muzhao looked at him with pity and said:

"I'll tell you a true story, a hundred years ago, there was a misfortune in my dynasty, who responded to the mandate of heaven and showed great luck and was born in a calamity, but unfortunately the lifebreaker he found was his sworn brother, he couldn't bear to be treacherous, and almost caused a catastrophe."

"What about the most reluctant, is that person dead?"

Zhu Muzhao said lightly: "Naturally, he is dead, compared to the country and the people, he can be regarded as a well-deserved death." ”

Jingchen was silent.

After Zhu Muzhao said these words, he asked again:

"I've told you all I can say, and now you can tell me whether the lifebreaker you see is a man or a woman?"

"It's a woman."

Zhu Muzhao's expression softened, and said, "Fortunately, it's a woman, so you can avoid a killing." Is that person you have seen, if not, when you go back, you will draw the person, and I will send someone to find him, but it will take some trouble. ”

"No need, it's someone I know."

"Oh?" Zhu Muzhao asked curiously, "Who is that, do I recognize it?" ”

Jing Chen lowered his thick eyelashes, thinking of the figure that glimpsed in the water lines, his chest ached, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"It's this year's Dayan female operator, Yu Shu." (To be continued.)
