In the autumn of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the west garden of the Inner Palace, the sleeping hall of the Jiajing Emperor.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, who had been obsessed with alchemy and cultivating immortals all his life and pursuing the way of immortality, finally came to the end of his life. On the dragon bed, the old emperor who was still breathing was like a broken candle in the wind, the candlelight was flickering, flickering bright and dark, his thinking was sometimes confused, sometimes clear. When it was clear, he explained the affairs of the world to His Royal Highness the prince Yuwang who served beside him, and when he was confused, he seemed to see the immortals in Taoism, and he said hello to this and said hello to that, full of nonsense.

The great eunuch Huang Jin waited beside his master who had served for half his life, for fear of missing a word from his master.

"Jia Changge, Jia Changge." Emperor Jiajing called a person's name in a dream.

Huang Jin hurried to Emperor Jiajing's ear and cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, Jia Zhenren is too seriously injured, the slave maid sent someone to visit him, only to see that he is almost out of breath, the slave and maid are afraid that ----" Huang Jin did not dare to say further.

Emperor Jiajing smiled sarcastically and refuted: "Don't worry---- he has a fate----- he can't die." ”

Huang Jin looked at His Royal Highness King Yu beside him with a suspicious face, then turned back to look at Jiajing, and said hesitantly: "Then, why don't you send someone to carry him on a stretcher and give Your Majesty another look?" ”

Jiajing shook his head weakly and said: "No need, that's his calamity, let him pass it in peace, I just want to entrust Ning An to him." ”

As soon as King Yu heard his father mention the imperial sister, he hurriedly appeased Jiajing and said: "Father, rest assured, Princess Ning'an is the only sister left in the world by the son, and the princess's affairs are the affairs of the sons, and the sons will definitely treat the princess and their relatives like their father." ”

Emperor Jiajing said "um", after all, he was still relieved, and added: "The princess has an obsession in her heart, after I leave, in case the princess is sick, you must ask Jia Zhenren to come out and treat the princess, don't turn a deaf ear, let it go, remember, remember." ”

His Royal Highness King Yu kowtowed and bowed: "Erchen remember, please rest assured." ”

Just after explaining his daughter's affairs, Emperor Jiajing seemed to have no worries in his heart, smiled slightly, and after a while, Long Yu Bintian.

The news of Emperor Jiajing's death spread outside the dormitory, and after a while, the entire Forbidden City was like a flood, submerged by the torrent of bitter crying and wailing, and the huge imperial city became a sea of crying.

On the same day that Emperor Jiajing drove Bintian, in the house of an ordinary person in the capital, Tao Sinian, the owner of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, Jia Xingjia, the old Taoist priest of Qingyunguan on the outskirts of the capital, and Aunt Song, the maid of this house, surrounded a hospital bed with a solemn face and was worried.

Aunt Song glanced at Jia Changge, who was lying on the bed, motionless like a dead man, and finally couldn't bear the anxiety, turned her head and begged Jia Xing: "Daoist Jia, why don't you invite a serious doctor to come over, Xiaodaochang's injury is too serious, I'm afraid ----"

Jia Xing had the same anxiety in his heart as Aunt Song, and when he heard Aunt Song's urging, he looked at Tao Sinian hesitantly.

Tao Sinian waved his hand at Aunt Song and said firmly: "No need, Aunt Song, don't worry, deal with these sword injuries, we, the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes who use guns and sticks, are even better than those market doctors, not to mention inviting those outside doctors to come in, in case he sees the clues, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Aunt Song hesitated, turned her head to look at Lao Dao Chang again, Lao Dao Dao nodded at her, signaling that what Boss Tao said was right, just listen to him.

Aunt Song took the reassuring pill and said with peace of mind: "Since Boss Tao is so confident, then I won't think nonsense, I will boil some water outside, and if there is anything that Daochang Jia and Boss Tao need me to do, just command." ”

Tao Sinian nodded, and Aunt Song hurriedly left the room.

Tao Sinian saw Aunt Song leaving, so he said to Jia Xing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed: "Daoist Jia should also go back and rest quickly, I haven't closed my eyes all night, I am here, just rest assured." ”

Jia Xing looked at Jia Changge, who was seriously injured and in a coma, and murmured sadly: "So many of us are revolving around him, but in the most dangerous place, at the most dangerous moment, none of us can be by his side, he is all dealing with it alone, I am ashamed, I am ashamed -------"

Tao Sinian saw that the old Jia Daochang was haggard and his face was blue because he stayed up late, and he tried his best to be relieved: "It should be me who is ashamed, Jia Daochang, to put it mildly, I used people inappropriately, and I was not strict with the restraints, he had obviously foreseen the danger and asked me for help, but I couldn't guarantee him foolproof-------

Jia Xing was silent, Tao Sinian took his arm, helped him up, and said euphemistically: "Daoist Jia, you go back and rest for a while, and leave it to me here." ”

Jia Xing looked at Tao Sinian with a confused look in his eyes, and asked stupidly, "Is he really fine?" ”

Tao Sinian whispered in Jia Xing's ear: "Let Jia Zhenren be in a coma for a while longer, this is specially explained by the guards, otherwise it will not be easy for him to operate there." When Jia Zhenren wakes up, it's all under my control, Jia Daochang, apart from you, I hope everything is okay the most. ”

Jia Xing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the reason, his eyebrows stretched slightly, and he thanked him in a low voice: "Then everything is up to the two of you." ”

Seeing off Jia Xing, Tao Sinian returned to the bed, looked at the unconscious Jia Changge, looked at his pale, clean, handsome and pretty face, as if he saw him for the first time, at that time he was dressed in moon-white plain clothes, standing far away, standing tall, like the moon in the fog, through the cold smoke, trying to emit the light of life, tenacious light.

The light of life, the light of tenacity. Thinking of this, Tao Sinian seemed to see his sister's face flashing across Jia Changge's face.

Si Ting, if your life is so tenacious, will you still be in this world, right now, right now.

The thoughts of those guarding the wounded drifted to distant places, and the dreams of the sleepers began silently in the darkness.

Jia Changge has experienced this black and white dream countless times, this dream is like a landscape painting that has been splashed with water, where are the clouds and where are the mountains, it has long been unclear, but he knows that there are two people in there, just like a painting, at the beginning of the blank paper, the people in white clothes wander freely in it, the world is clean, clear and bright, and then a brush of fate began to splash ink, scribbling, the man in black was depicted on it, hidden in the thick black ink, he knew where the man in black was, but he couldn't do anything about him, and then later, the other hand couldn't stand the bad painting, and poured a glass of water on it, and the originally clear painting gradually became blurred, and the person outside the painting wanted to get into the cloud and bring the man in white out, but there was nothing he could do.......

Jia Changge's fingers trembled slightly.

Tao Sinian noticed the strangeness of the injured person, and quickly grabbed his slightly trembling fingers, and gently whispered in his ear: "Dong'er, I'm here, I'll be fine, I will definitely be fine." ”

The wounded's fingers stopped trembling, regained their composure, and fell into a deep sleep again, as if with his master.

The Guardian smiled with joy when he saw that the people he was guarding trusted him so much, and after a few moments, his mind returned to the place where he had left off, to the hometown he had been haunted by, to the relatives he had missed for a long time...........
