It was dark. Zhou Boyan stood in the courtyard, letting the cold wind ravage his body. The wind-blown face was in pain, and the corners of his robe were blowing, but he was unmoved, and his whole body melted into the darkness. The truth is so sad and ridiculous! The suspicious and vicious mother is conceited and selfish daughter. The result is that the mother is ruthless, and the daughter is defeated by excessive conceit.

At this moment, he had no other way but to believe in Yan Gongzi. Over the years, he has tried all the ways he can think of, but he has never been able to save his son. Being caught by Yan Gongzi this time is not all bad, at least he got a chance. He poured out seven or eight out of ten of what he knew, naturally in order to win the trust of Yan Gongzi and fight for a chance for his son to live. Probably because the drug was exhausted, probably because he was too tired. After a while, he fell asleep in his chair.

Seeing that Yan Gongzi didn't speak, he coughed a few times and said, "Even if Yan Gongzi lets go of Poor Dao, Poor Dao will not have a few years to live." If the poor road is dead, my son Qingfeng will definitely have no way to live. According to the poor Dao's understanding of the Queen Mother, it will only kill Qingfeng, and there is no possibility of letting Qingfeng go free. As long as Yan Gongzi can rescue my son, Poor Dao is willing to do anything for Gongzi, including what Gongzi mentioned. ”

Mingji said, "Since last year, the Queen Mother firmly believes that there is a goddess in Da'an. The Queen Mother said that the goddess fell into the dream of the Queen Mother and ordered the Queen Mother to find her as much as possible. Da'an has the help of the goddess, and the day when the Da'an Dynasty will dominate the world is just around the corner. On this trip, Poor Dao was ordered by the Queen Mother to come out to find the whereabouts of the goddess. Many years ago, he fabricated a "goddess" because of the order of the Queen Mother, and then the Queen Mother destroyed this "goddess" with her own hands. Now, the Queen Mother is crazy and wants to fabricate another goddess to come out. In order to get the supreme power, the Queen Mother is probably going to go crazy.

Zhou Boyan's forehead was full of green tendons, "Zhou Su." He remembered the "Zhou Su Codex" left by Zhou Su to harm Qingshu. If it weren't for Qingshu's tough methods, if it weren't for An Rongzhou's timely interception, the consequences would be unimaginable. Zhou Su, just because his father didn't like her, and because General Gu had been bad for her seducing his father, she had always held a grudge and tried to take revenge on everyone everywhere. Before he knew the "Zhou Su Codex", he also sympathized with Zhou Su. But after the incident of "Zhou Su's Codex" broke out, he began to hate Zhou Su. Now that he learned that Zhou Su had colluded with the Queen Mother to kill General Gu, he was furious. How can there be such a woman with a dark psychology and a distorted personality in the world?

"Zhou Su, a woman who is very close to the eldest princess. According to Yao Chun, he had bumped into the palace maid next to the Queen Mother several times, and had secretly met Zhou Su in the back alley of the Qinglou. General Gu Yunhu's approval was given by Zhou Su with the secret letter of the Queen Mother and instructed Poor Dao to come to the door for approval. ”

Zhou Boyan paused as he left, and slowly turned around, "Who?" ”

Ming Ji lowered his eyelids, "Have you ever heard of the name Zhou Su?" ”

A cold light shot out of Zhou Boyan's eyes, "If you can do it, my son can do it too." Then he turned and prepared to leave.

Daoist Mingji was visibly stunned. Suddenly, his lips twitched and fell silent. After a while, he opened his mouth, his eyelids were no longer drooping, but widened, looking a little terrifying, with a decisive look in his eyes, "Can Childe save Wu'er Qingfeng?" ”

Zhou Boyan blinked, held on to the armrest of the chair, and slowly stood up. With a wooden face, he approached Mingji, bent down, close to Mingji's ears, and his voice was obviously very low, but it exuded a terrifying aura of slaughter, "Anything, including killing the Queen Mother?" With that, he straightened up, took a few steps back, and stood there with a blank face.

Daoist Mingji smiled and choked up, "Young man, Qingfeng is innocent. Poor Dao helps Yan Gongzi do one thing, it can be anything, just ask Yan Gongzi to rescue Wu'er Qingfeng. ”

Zhou Boyan didn't blink his eyes, staring blankly at the crazy Mingji Daoist in front of him.

Suddenly, a look of madness flashed in Daoist Mingji's eyes, "Did you find out?" For many years, the Queen Mother has taken pleasure in taking the qiē that her own daughter cares about! The eldest princess got married, and she took action to destroy the relationship between the eldest princess and the big horse. The eldest princess likes the eldest prince of Chu Xiangfu, and the queen mother ruined the eldest prince of Chu and destroyed Chu Xiangmanmen. The eldest princess fell in love with a talented man, but within a few days, someone found the body of Qian Caizi in the grass pile outside the city. The eldest princess and Prince Yelu got along, and Prince Yelu had to return early because he was chased and killed by unknown people. The eldest princess took her heart and wanted to spend the rest of her life with the big colt, and the big colt died. The eldest princess finally broke down and jumped off the cliff. At this point, he made a strange noise, laughed all the time, laughed all the time.

Many secrets that cannot be said have been held in my heart for many years, and Daoist Mingji seems to have found an outlet to vent, and he keeps saying it, and he can't stop saying it. At that time, the eldest princess became the goddess of the kingdom and the enemy of Da'an. When the relationship between the eldest princess and the queen mother became more and more stiff, and when the eldest princess and the prince of Yelu of Xichang Kingdom reported the wind and snow, the queen mother could no longer hold back and began to suppress the snobbery of the eldest princess. Finally, ...... "Finally, it ends with the eldest princess jumping off the cliff."

Zhou Boyan looked at Daoist Mingji blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the eldest princess is moving closer to her fate. Because she is the goddess who pacifies the Quartet, there are world-class heroes such as the prince of Linguo, the prince and other characters around the eldest princess, and the frontier wars have been won one after another. Because fate is unspeakably precious, so he can assist the emperor and get the help of the world's heroes everywhere. But Da'an is the emperor, and it can't be the eldest princess. Although the eldest princess said that she had a horse, according to the temperament of the eldest princess, she might suddenly marry Linguo on a whim. ”

Zhou Boyan seemed to realize something, and muttered again, "The goddess who pacifies the Quartet, her fate is unspeakably precious. ”

"The eldest princess must have heard a lot of rumors when she was young. The eldest princess assisted the emperor as a woman, attracting the attention of countless heroes in the world. From the famous sons, young generals to the princes of Linguo, the princes, etc., they all surrounded her. If the poor Dao's guess is correct, that is, at that time, the queen mother was a little wary of the eldest princess. Although the approval was given by the queen mother herself, she suddenly became wary of the eldest princess. In addition, in those years, the war was won one after another, and heroes were produced, and the Queen Mother moved closer to the approval of the order. ”

Zhou Boyan felt his throat tighten, unable to speak.

"Poor Dao woke up in the palace maid's bed, this matter is full of suspicions, I am afraid that it was also planned by Yao Guifei. and then to the palace girl, and then to Qingfeng to become a hostage, one ring after another, such a clever means. At this moment, he seemed very excited, "Your mother and the Queen Mother have a bad relationship because your mother learned the truth about the strange illness from an old palace person." Since then, your mother has been bent on helping the current saint regain the authority in the hands of the Queen Mother. It's a pity that your mother couldn't be ruthless with the Queen Mother, and finally lost the battle and ended her life. ”

Daoist Mingji looked unusually energetic, "Many things, poor Dao only figured it out after your mother died. Your mother's poisoning is not necessarily the hand of the Empress Dowager Renyi, but nine times out of ten it is Yao Guifei's own hands. Yao Guifei seemed to have offended the Empress Dowager Renyi at that time, and angered the Empress Dowager Renyi, and the first emperor was considering whether to send Yao Guifei into the cold palace. At this time, your mother had a strange illness, and the attention of the Empress Dowager Renyi and the first emperor focused on the matter of treating your mother, and put aside the matter of Yao Guifei entering the cold palace. When your mother's situation was in crisis and she couldn't support it, Yao Guifei mentioned the poor road in front of the queen mother and the first emperor. ”

Zhou Boyan's expression was still a bit trance-like, "Why?" He went south this time and met Ziyi, who was about to escape from Da'an. Ziyi sued him that his mother died from a fate, a fateful life that was broken by the head of Mingji Dao. What is the content of the order, Ziyi said that he did not know. Ziyi kindly reminded him that there were probably only four people who knew the content of the order, the first emperor, the Empress Dowager Renyi, and the Empress Dowager and the Taoist of Mingji. Now, there are only two people left in the know, the Queen Mother and the Taoist Chief Mingji. The Queen Mother will never say it, so the answer can only be found from Mingji.

Daoist Mingji rested for a while, raised his eyes and looked at the young man who had lost his mind on the other side, "You must want to ask, this batch of lives was approved by the Queen Mother herself, and time has passed, why can't you tolerate your mother because of this batch of lives?" ”

Zhou Boyan's ears were buzzing, and the whole person was in a trance for a moment, "'The goddess of pacifying the Quartet, her fate is unspeakably precious'." Goddess, unspeakably precious, goddess...... Why? He muttered involuntarily, but he didn't know it.

And every time he put pen to paper, the person he gave the order would die within a month or a year or two. Sometimes only the person who was ordered to die, and sometimes it is the person who was ordered and the whole family to die. The most tragic one, the one with the largest number of deaths, was the time when the Chu Xiangfu was beheaded by the whole family and the three clans of Zhulian. He knew that he had sinned deeply in this life, but he could not turn back. Because his son Qingfeng is in the hands of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother arranged for their father and son to meet once every six months, and each time they met, they could not talk for more than half an hour.

In the following years, in order to stay away from right and wrong, he traveled far away. It wasn't until I heard that the first emperor had died, the Empress Dowager Renyi, the crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and Yao Guifei was the queen mother, that the poor road rushed back to the capital thousands of miles away. But what can meet the poor road is one bloody storm after another. Soon, the Queen Mother secretly took Qingfeng away. He choked, "Qingfeng, that is, the child that Yao Chun gave birth to for the poor Dao." Since then, the poor road has borne sins that can never be washed away. For many years after that, the Queen Mother asked him for approval when she needed it.

"The eldest princess's fifteenth birthday is approaching, and Yao Guifei has brought a letter to Yao Chun. The letter said that the eldest princess was about to suffer, and she was afraid that she would suffer the same calamity as the previous time. Yao Guifei asked the poor to approve her life, and the princess was prosperous and wealthy all her life. After hesitating for a few days, he wrote down the eight characters of Yao Guifei's birthday on the paper, and wrote a pen under the eight characters of his birthday: 'If it is a woman, it is a goddess who calms the Quartet, and her life is unspeakably precious. If you are a man, you will enjoy a lifetime of glory and a lifetime of worry-free'. "He has a handle in the hands of Yao Guifei, and he doesn't dare not help. Yao Guifei said that the eldest princess was about to suffer the same catastrophe as the previous time, obviously saying that the Empress Dowager Renyi was going to take the life of the eldest princess. Therefore, after thinking about it, he approved this life. In this way, considering the Jiangshan Sheji in Da'an, the Queen Mother will also dispel the idea of harming the eldest princess.

He let out a long sigh, and the person became more and more energetic, and his weakness faded, "Then something happened. Fortunately, Yao Guifei tried her best to protect the poor road in front of the saint, and the poor road was able to restore a peaceful and peaceful life of pure cultivation. However, half a year later, Yao Guifei secretly sent a pregnant woman to the poor road. This woman was none other than the palace maid of the day. The palace maid said that the child is poor...... The palace maid changed her name to Yao Chun and lived in the village under the Taoist temple. Yao Chun gave birth to a child, a boy. The older the child grew, the more he looked like a poor road. At this point, Poor Dao can no longer find any excuse to deny. His suspicions about Yao Guifei were also dispelled.

After that, Yao Guifei secretly sent a message to Poor Dao. said that he would save the poor Dao, just because the poor Dao had a life-saving grace for the eldest princess, and he also conveyed some information to the poor Dao in a flash. As soon as the poor road is connected, there is an answer. The eldest princess was poisoned by mistake, eating the dim sum prepared for Yao Guifei. After the eldest princess was poisoned, Concubine Yao did everything possible to steal the antidote. But there is an antidote, but I don't dare to take it out directly, for fear that some things cannot be explained clearly. Therefore, he could only use the hand of the poor Dao to relieve the eldest princess's poison. That is, if the poor way is bad for others, others will naturally take revenge on the poor way. It's just that the time has been delayed by two years. Fortunately, the poor road survived this catastrophe without danger. ”

"Poor road is wrong." He shuddered, "The Queen Mother will issue another decree to invite Poor Dao to enter the palace to preach Taoism." When he entered the palace this time, Poor Dao realized that he would never recover in this life and could not turn back. …… Poor Dao, Poor Dao was knocked unconscious, and then woke up in the bed of the palace maid. The poor road is like ashes, and he only says, 'The sky is going to kill me'. At that moment, Yao Guifei appeared in time to help cover up the matter, and secretly sent someone to send the poor Dao out of the palace, and implied that it was the Queen Mother who wanted to harm the poor Dao. …… The Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager Renyi found Hongchen Mian in the bedroom, and it was reported that some palace maids confirmed that the Empress Dowager Renyi had been a saint of different races...... Right and wrong grievances were disturbed, and the matter was quickly suppressed by the saint. Probably because he was pregnant with the psychology of breaking the jar, he poured out what he could say and what he couldn't say.

At this point, he coughed for a moment. The coughing stopped, and the man became refreshed. "Poor Dao didn't dare to ask anything, didn't dare to inquire about anything, and couldn't live in fear. On the grounds that he had injured himself and had to retreat and recuperate, he hid for two years. Two years have passed, and the wind and waves have been calm. Poor Dao thought that everything had passed, so he dared to appear in front of people. ”

"It was a conspiracy, a terrible conspiracy. Poor Dao tried to fight for liberation, but found that there was no possibility of fighting, and he could only be at the mercy of others in fear. Someone gave the antidote to the poor Dao, and the poor Dao did not dare to say that he would cure the disease and save people, because this lie and the poor Dao could not be fulfilled at all. The poor Dao couldn't, so he could only pretend to be a ghost, draw three pieces of rune paper, and then give the eldest princess three bowls of fragrant ash water with antidote. Three days later, the eldest princess woke up. The Holy Lord and the Queen Mother gave many things, let the poor road out of the palace and repaired the Yangming Temple where the poor road was located. ”

"Because he doesn't know his own situation, he can't sit still. At lunchtime, the palace maid who delivered the meal did not retreat, but talked to Poor Dao. The palace maid said that if she wanted to get out of the palace alive, she had to obey her master. He paused and took a breath, "The palace maid told the poor that lying on the sickbed was the eldest princess who was the most favored by the saint and the queen mother. The eldest princess was not sick, but only poisoned. This poison is called Hongchen Mian, colorless and tasteless, and it is a poison holy product that is not spread by other races. No one but the aliens knew about the poison. Looking at the world, no healer recognizes this poison. No matter how clever the healer is, the eldest princess has a strange disease, and the cause of the eldest princess cannot be found out anyway. ”

"For the art of curing diseases and saving people, the poor road only knows the skin, where can the eldest princess's illness be cured. At that time, the poor man did not know who the sick person was, so he was led to the bed and tremblingly checked the pulse of the patient through the bed curtain. There was a palace man next to him who asked if Poor Dao could be cured, but Poor Dao was afraid to answer. The palace people didn't know what to think, so they didn't ask any more questions, and only took the poor road down to rest. ”

Daoist Mingji continued, "Concubine Yao Guifei heard the rumor that Poor Dao has the ability to resurrect the dead, and she sought the will of the Empress Dowager Renyi and declared that Poor Dao entered the palace. Poor Dao was at a loss for what to do, and because he didn't dare to resist Yi's will, he entered the palace with trepidation without knowing anything. The Yao Guifei in his mouth refers to the current Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager Renyi in his mouth refers to the mother-in-law of the former emperor, that is, the grandmother of the current emperor. When the first emperor died, the Empress Dowager Renyi was so sad that she couldn't afford to fall ill and died soon after.

Zhou Boyan didn't show it on his face, but he was in turmoil. It's not a strange disease, but poisoning?

Suddenly, Mingji Daoist seems to be feeling better. He opened his eyes and stared at Zhou Boyan with a sad face, "The beginning of a bad fate started when the poor Dao entered the palace to heal your mother. Your mother is not a strange disease, not a disease, but poison, and your mother was poisoned at that time. ”

Zhou Boyan looked at him coldly, without half a point of sympathy.

After a while, Daoist Mingji finally adjusted himself and stopped panting. He spoke, for the man was weaker and his voice was much quieter. "The poor Dao has sins in this life, although there are unbearable hardships, but ...... The sin is great......" He gasped again in pain, closed his eyes and eased.

Zhou Boyan still didn't speak, as if he was not in a hurry to know the answer.

At this moment, the two hands of the head of the Ming Ji Dao were hanging on both sides of the chair, and the hands were wrapped in white cloths, and there was no blood oozing. There was nothing wrong with his clothes, they were clean and neatly dressed. From head to toe, there was not a trace of blood on his body. The smell of incense wafted through the air, masking a possible odor.

Zhou Boyan, who had received the news, lifted the corner of his robe and sat on the chair prepared by Leng Qiang in advance. He looked at Mingji opposite him expressionlessly, and Mingji who was panting in his chair, without saying a word.

At this time, someone poured another bowl of black medicine for Mingji Daoist, and someone bandaged Mingji Daoist's hands and tidied up the clothes on his body. Then, as soon as these torture instruments were collected, they cleaned up the ground a little, and took incense and lit it. At this point, the group of people retreated, leaving the panting Mingji Daoist on the chair.

At the end of the night, when the head of Mingji once again shouted that he could not stand it and confess everything, the executioner stopped in satisfaction.

In order to keep the body of the Ming Ji Daoist, they also gave Ming Ji food on time and gave Ming Ji water from time to time. Even if Mingji refused to cooperate, he refused to eat or use water. But how could they let Mingji get his wish, with strong food and water. Not only that, one of the executioners seemed to know medical skills, and from time to time he checked Mingji's pulse, so as to adjust the length of the execution, and also poured Mingji with an ignorant decoction depending on the situation. During this period, the head of the Ming Ji Daoist said several times that he would sue Sù彥公子 for everything he knew, but the executioners were unmoved and continued to torture him.

Their punishment was not continuous, and was carried out at regular intervals, and never more than a quarter of an hour at a time. In this way, Daoist Mingji did not have the opportunity to fall unconscious, and remained awake all the time, feeling the pain that was not big but hurt to the bones. The kind of pain that is extremely painful, but cannot be relieved, is the greatest physical and mental torture for people.

I have to say that Leng Qiang's subordinates are very methodical and very good at grasping proportions. They did not use the big punishment at all, nor did they use it for a long time. They followed the cold and strong confession, and they would not kill people, but they only used the simplest punishment methods that caused the smallest wounds and would not endanger their lives, so that Mingji was in pain to the extreme, and he couldn't survive or die in pain.

On this day and night, in the dilapidated temples hidden in the mountains and forests, every hour an old and mournful cry would be heard punctually and punctually from a basement. It's just that one is more sad than the other, and the other is weaker than the other.

The sun rises in the east, and the endless darkness is dispelled by light. The sun rises in the east and slowly shifts in the west. The last rays of light vanished on the horizon, and darkness engulfed everything else in the world once more.

It's just that when the sharp wooden wedge was knocked into the finger, the self-righteousness of the head of the Ming Ji Dao, and the one qi qi that he had identified, disappeared in an instant, leaving only the old and painful screams.

Moreover, the world fears God and Buddha, in the eyes of the world, the Taoist priest is the messenger of Taoism in the world, and he is the "national teacher" respected by the Queen Mother, and his status in the Da'an Dynasty is transcendent. From royal relatives to princes and generals, from high-ranking magnates to ordinary people, who does not regard him as a divine envoy! Even if the respected presiding officer of the royal monastery and the archmage see him, they must also give him three points of courtesy. The most important thing is that for so many years, the emperor hated him to the bone but did not dare to move a finger of him. Can the young man be bigger than the emperor! When he thought of this, he was reassured.

Daoist Mingji instantly changed color, "You guys...... You ...... "Except for three or two unsatisfactory things, his life can be regarded as smooth, and he has never suffered from flesh and skin." He thought that Yan Gongzi was just scaring him with words, but looking at the situation in front of him, it didn't seem to be as simple as scaring him. He tried his best to be calm, trying not to show weakness in front of others, and at the same time he had a fluke mentality in his heart. He is a special weapon in the hands of the Queen Mother, and he is the person that the Queen Mother relies on the most. He didn't think that Yan Gongzi would dare to torture him and let him suffer from flesh and skin.

Leng Qiang stared at Daoist Mingji with the eyes of a dead man, but his tone was gentle, "Be measured, don't kill you." Let him be in pain to the extreme, and feel the taste of not being able to survive and die. ”

The two young men stared at Daoist Mingji and slowly rolled up their sleeves. At their feet lay wooden boxes with open lids, square-shaped and about three feet long. The box contained all kinds of small things stained with blood, which seemed to be torture instruments.

Soon, after receiving Zhou Boyan's instructions, Leng Qiang took two young men dressed as woodcutters to the basement.

At this moment, Zhou Boyan used his actions to tell Daoist Sù Mingji his answer. He went up the wooden ladder and overturned the plank above his head and went out, leaving Mingji Dao Commander below.

Daoist Mingji was afraid, but his face was not obvious, "This is the only one that Poor Dao requires." As long as the young man is willing to fulfill the poor road, as long as the son wants to know something, the poor road must know everything and say everything. ”

Hearing Qing Shu's name being mentioned, Zhou Boyan was taken aback, followed by anger. He turned around and stared at Daoist Mingji tightly, his eyes could freeze to death. Qing Shu is his weakness, and the miscellaneous old man in front of him dares to take Qing Shu out to talk about things and look for death. Everyone in the world thinks that Mingji Daoist is a master in the world, but he has always regarded Mingji Daoist as a god and villain who harms people's lives. At this moment, he hated to slap him to death with one palm.

As if he hadn't heard it, Daoist Mingji said to himself, "If Young Master Yan can arrange for Poor Dao to meet Miss Gu Qingshu, Poor Dao will tell him what happened back then." "He must see Gu Qingshu. He desperately wanted to know if Gu Qingshu could influence the hexagram as he had guessed. According to the secret records of the ancient warlocks, there is no one strange person who can affect the outcome of the hexagram in a hundred years. In the face of such a strange person, no matter how superb the fortune teller is, the result of the divination is either empty or wrong. And such a strange person can also influence the people around him in different ways, so that the fortune teller is helpless. The only pleasure in his life is divination. Now that he is likely to have met the strange person in the record, he is naturally very excited, eager to understand and study.

Zhou Boyan frowned immediately, obviously running out of patience, "Dao Chief, in front of this son, you are not qualified to mention conditions. Without Ming Ji opening his mouth, he made it clear that he would not accept any quid pro quo. Joke, Mingji is already in his hands, he has a way to make Mingji speak, so naturally he doesn't have to accept any quid pro quo.

Governor Mingji said that there was a condition.
