The hour passed suddenly, and in the blink of an eye, there was a trace of bright white in the dark night, and the sound of the bronze bell faintly came from outside, which was the bell in the palace to announce the time, indicating that the time would enter the hour in another moment.

It was almost midsummer, and it was dawning early, so it was only a quarter of an hour, and when the clock rang, it was already very bright, and it seemed to be dawn all of a sudden.

The housekeepers and servants of the Hou Mansion have begun to get up one after another, cooking, feeding the horses, washing the laundry, sweeping the floor, and it is a big funeral ceremony, and soon the entire Hou Mansion is full of people, and Shui Qingru also came to the mourning hall with hot tea, looking at Chen Xu who was still sitting on the chair in a daze, Shui gently knelt in front of Chen Xu and said gently: "Husband, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be too sad, it's Princess Qingning herself who is not blessed to enjoy your grace!" ”

Chen Xu stretched out his hand and pulled her to stand up and said, "Gently, let you be wronged, and I will explain this matter to you after I finish the funeral!" ”

"Gentle and not aggrieved, the husband will drink some hot tea to warm up his body first, and he will not be buried in two more days, don't be tired of his body!"

While the two were talking, the butler had already brought his servants in to clean and clean the mourning hall, and hung up the prayer flags and white cloth that had been blown by the night wind, but no one knew that there was only an empty coffin left on the mourning hall.

Chen Xu, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, looked at the coffin at home at this time, and there was not much sadness in his heart, only a sense of trance, but in order to finish this sad funeral, Chen Xu had to pretend to be sad, and continued to be the Hou Ye who killed his wife sullenly.

At this time, Yu Wuya, who had changed into a burlap dress and a hat, had already driven a carriage to the city gate, with a delicate large wooden box on the car, and a pair of twin little Lori, Yu Wuya directly showed the waist card of the Qinghe Marquis Mansion, and the soldiers guarding the door did not check the things on the car at all and hurriedly let them go.

After leaving the city, there was already a red glow in the east, the sky was completely bright, and Yu Wuya whipped and drove the carriage straight to the towering Taiyi Mountain.

An hour later, the carriage came to a fork in the road leading to Taiyi Mountain, just when Yu Wuya was about to stop and watch, he heard a gust of wind on a big tree next to him, and when he looked up, he saw a soft figure jumping down from the big tree.

A tall woman, more than 1.7 meters tall, with a tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved white mattress on her upper body, a light cyan long skirt on her lower body, her thick hair tied behind her head with a flower vine, a sword on her back, a cyan scarf on her face, and only a pair of eyes with a cold breath were exposed.

The two stared at each other a few times, and the woman said coldly: "You are from the Qinghe Marquis Mansion?" ”

"Yes, the little lady is ......"

"Okay, you can go, the carriage stays, and the two little maids take it with you!" The woman coldly interrupted Yu Wuya's words.

Yu Wuya's mouth opened a few times and said, "Then how do I go back?" ”

"I don't care how you get back?" The woman walked impatiently to the side of the car, and slapped her palm lightly on the copper lock of the wooden box, only to hear a click, the copper lock fell directly apart, and the lid of the wooden box bounced open, revealing Wang Qing's sleeves inside.

"Princess~"

"Sanniang~"

The two little girls who followed Yu Wuya out of the city inexplicably knew that Wang Qingsleeves were still hidden in the wooden box, so they were slightly stunned for a moment, and then threw themselves on the wooden box together and cried.

"Crying, Princess Qingning is not dead yet, Master Hou asked me to send her out, let you follow her, and take care of her in the future!" Yu Wuya hurriedly said.

At this time, Wang Qingsleeve's face had recovered some blood, and his breathing was quite stable, but he was still in a coma, and he didn't know anything about what was happening around him.

"Alright, you're all down!" The woman saw Wang Qingsleeve, so she looked at Yu Wuya coldly again.

Yu Wuya shrugged his shoulders and jumped out of the car and pointed to the two crying pear blossoms with rain and said: "These two are Princess Qingning's former personal maids, I don't know where you want to take the princess, but it's better to bring the two maids, and take care of them in the future!" ”

The woman thought for a moment and nodded, then got into the carriage and prepared to leave, but she suddenly stretched out her hand and tore off the face towel on her face.

Looking at the woman's face, Yu Wuya's eyes were dull as if he had been struck by thunder, and his mouth was cracked, and a trace of saliva dripped down the corners of his mouth.

And the woman definitely didn't expect Yu Wuya to suddenly tear off her face towel, and also looked at Yu Wuya blankly, the two looked at each other for three or five seconds after the woman's face turned white, and suddenly kicked Yu Wuya in the chest and kicked him out for more than a zhang away, as Yu Wuya flew out, and the woman chased after her like a light and shadow, and at the same time she could hear the sound of choking the sword out of the sheath.

"Puff~"

By the time Yu Wuya landed, a pitch-black long sword had already been pressed against his neck, and the cold air emitted made his hairs stand upside down all over his body.

"You're looking for death~" The woman's eyes exuded endless murderous aura, and her voice was as cold as ice.

And Yu Wuya still looked at the woman's face as if he was not awake yet, lying on the ground with his eyes hooked, and said with a pig look: "You...... Is it good for you to marry me! ”

"Click~" The woman's silver teeth clenched her willow eyebrows and stood up, and a scar on her cheek that looked like a pattern was particularly obvious because of anger, and the sword in her hand was about to be stabbed, but she seemed to remember something in an instant, and after taking the sword back, she said coldly: "I heard that there is a guy next to Qinghe Hou, who is the apprentice of Chi Songzi's predecessor, is it you?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's me, my name is Yu Wuya!" Yu Wuya got up from the ground with excitement on his face and nodded repeatedly, his head covered with grass clippings looked as embarrassed as he was.

"How could Red Pine Nuts teach you such a straw bale!" The woman disdainfully inserted the sword back into the scabbard, then didn't bother to look at Yu Wuya, turned around and jumped into the carriage, and drove to leave.

"Girl, don't go, Yu is not a straw bag, it's just that he was injured by Gai Nie some time ago and hasn't recovered yet!" Yu Wuya grabbed the reins of the horse and said.

"Ganie?" A white light flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she nodded and said, "Although Gai Nie's qualifications are dull, his swordsmanship is not bad, and it is natural for you to be injured by him with a straw bag, let it go and get out~"

"Girl, you and I fell in love at first sight, will you marry me?" Yu Wuya grabbed the reins of the horse and said.

"Click~" The handle of the horsewhip that the woman held in her hand was directly pinched off, and she gritted her teeth and stared at Yu Wuya and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth word by word: "You have the courage to say it again!" ”

"Marry me!" Yu Wuya is stubborn like a shell man who pushes a dung ball up the mountain.

"Bang~" The woman jumped up, kicked Yu Wuya to the ground again, and then pounced on it and beat it with a crackle, and it took a few minutes to stop, and Yu Wuya, who looked at Yu Wuya with a blue nose and swollen face, condescendingly said coldly: "If it weren't for the face of Chi Songzi's predecessors, I would have pulled out your tongue today!" ”

"Girl, what's your name, and how can you marry me?" Yu Wuya looked at the woman blankly.

"You ......" The woman didn't expect to meet a dead-faced guy like Yu Wuya today, she was ashamed and angry, and she wanted to strangle Yu Wuya to death, but because of Yu Wuya's identity, she had to hold back, and finally took a few steps back and said: "My name is Xia Zijin, I will spare you today, you want to marry me...... Wait until you hit me someday! ”

"Really?" Yu Wuya turned over excitedly and climbed up.

"It's true, of course, but I've heard that you're lazy...... I'm afraid that you won't be able to beat me even if you practice to death in this life, so I advise you to die as soon as possible! ”

"Haha, don't worry, Zijin, let's go, wait for my body to recover and then go to the mountain to find you, and when the time comes, I won't regret defeating me!" Yu Wuya grinned excitedly.

"Hmph, the hands and feet are as soft as ants, when the time comes, don't feed the tigers, wolves, snakes and insects before you climb the mountain, I will live in Cuihua Peak, if you have the courage, come to me when the time comes!"

As the woman spoke, she got into the carriage again, shook the reins and left with Wang Qingsleeve and two little loli, and soon disappeared into the winding and lush mountain forest.

Taiyi Mountain, in fact, is Zhongnan Mountain, starting from the Great Zhou, including Zhongnan Mountain and Taibai Mountain, including the area is called Taiyi Mountain, is one of the birthplaces of Taoism, legend has it that Lao Tzu once practiced in Zhongnan Mountain, and finally realized the avenue, after the west out of Hangu Pass, he disappeared, and Hangu Pass made Yin Xi because of the Tao Te Ching, so he built a building to commemorate Lao Tzu, and to the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang wanted to seek immortality, so he let people build a huge temple in the south of the building to worship Lao Tzu, Moreover, Lishan, where Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum is located, is actually the remnant vein of Zhongnan Mountain, just like the head of a giant dragon, which is where the dragon vein is, so it is hoped that the dragon vein will bless the prosperity of Great Qin for all generations.

And Zhongnan has the name of Taiyi, and it is also said that Zhongnan Mountain is the dojo of Taiyi Immortal, so Zhongnan Mountain is called the first blessed land in the world by Taoist disciples, and it is the best place to cultivate immortals and seek Taoism, so under the influence of the emperor of the Great Qin Empire who sincerely seeks Taoism, there are countless Taoist warlocks gathered in the Taiyi Mountain close at hand, there are sincere seekers, and naturally there are also people who fish in troubled waters, but it is undeniable that Zhongnan Mountain hides countless Taoist disciples who eat and drink in the sun, and it has become the most desirable place for Taoist disciples. Therefore, although there are canyons and ravines and strange peaks and cliffs in this Zhongnan Mountain, it is not inaccessible, on the contrary, there are all kinds of strange Taoist disciples hidden everywhere in it, alchemists, qi practitioners, and iron refiners, all of whom want to take advantage of this immortal blessed land to understand the avenue.

Seeing Wang Qingsleeve away, Chen Xu naturally breathed a long sigh of relief.

Whether he likes Wang Qingsleeve or not, but after all, the two have a continuous relationship, they are already husband and wife in name, and in fact, they slept with her twice in a daze, she can not die, the depression and entanglement in Chen Xu's heart are still a lot easier, after all, Wang Qingsleeve is not a bad person, it has not yet reached the point where Chen Xu hates it, and if it weren't for Wang Qingsleeve's treacherous plan to break Zhao Zhe in the palace this time, the consequences would be very unpredictable, even Qin Shi Huang might not kill him, It is also possible to cut his balls and lock him in the palace, and from then on become a real eunuch who chats with him every day.

And Wang Qingsleeve left, Zhao Zhe was killed, Zhao Gao has now been put in prison, only waiting for the five horses to divide the corpses and wipe out the three clans, and all the officials in Wancheng were also killed and injured, leaving only Jiang Beiting and Gao Yan who were mixed in it, and these two people have now been escorted to Xianyang by Tingwei, only to be punished according to the law after the interrogation is clear, Jiang Heng, who knew about this matter, was also dismissed, so almost everyone involved in this scene like a mess got a sighing ending.

Regarding Guiguzi's sudden appearance to save Wang Qingsleeve, Chen Xu was confused and even more frightened at the same time, because of the sentence "Life is not for life, death is not for death, Xiaoyou has tasted it, why talk about life and death?" The more Chen Xu thought about it, the more scared he became, could it be that Guiguzi could really break through the heavens and know that Lao Tzu had crossed over?

And Chi Songzi once said something like this, and asked Wukong who stayed on Mount Lu to bring it to him.

"All things come from nature, thieves have no intention, time is like a reverse journey, life and death are not lovely."

If this sentence is read to ordinary people, there must not be too many ideas, at most, it is to sigh at the weakness and uncontrollability of life under the way of heaven, life and death are just like a time dream, but in Chen Xu's view, Chi Songzi will definitely not be a word to leave him these four lines of poetry, especially the sentence that time is reversed, the translation is simpler that is "if time can go back", and time back, the simplest explanation is to travel through time and space.

Could it be that the red pine nuts can also see that I am a traverser?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Chen Xu felt, this kind of legend can penetrate the heavenly machine with a finger count, Chen Xu naturally did not dare to judge the truth or falsehood, but at the same time, he was more and more excited, and he wanted to communicate with these people to understand the reason why he was able to cross, or, to ask if he could have the opportunity to travel back after crossing, or whether as long as he had a special ability, he could walk through time and space at will, if so, then could he take the two warehouses back and forth, If it's really wide...... Isn't the world so chaotic......

Chen Xu's cranky thinking was very divergent, and he began to feel that this world did not seem to be the pure material world he had thought before, and technology was not the only development direction of civilization.

And the people who Xiuzhen asked were not all liars who danced the gods in later generations, at least from the process of Guiguzi rescuing Wang Qingsleeve, it can be seen that with a few thin needles, people who have almost died can be revived, which has absolutely nothing to do with science.

Chen Xu knows the situation of Wang Qingsleeve best, he is definitely in a state of being dead, he has no breath and is cold, and from the morning to the middle of the night, there are nearly twelve hours in between, that is, a whole day and a night, people who have been out of breath for a day and a night, even if it is the best hospital and medical means in the future, they will definitely not be able to rescue her, but Guiguzi only used a few needles to revive her.

The breadth and profundity of the Chinese civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years once again deeply shocked Chen Xu.

Therefore, he began to think about the words that Guiguzi said when he left, whether it was true that there would be a catastrophe if he saved a person? If it was before, Chen Xu would definitely scoff, but as he thought about it more and more, he felt a kind of fear and fear from the bottom of his bones, Guiguzi said before leaving that he knew the time and place of the robbery, but Lao Tzu didn't know anything.

And what does that inexplicable sentence of nine poles refer to?

Nine, nine days, nine years, or is it just a number that is not certain in its infancy?

Pit...... It's too bad...... Chinese civilization has a long history, and there are pits everywhere in the text, and Guiguzi and Chi Songzi are even more pitted by people who are beyond the world.

Chen Xu was very sad and at a loss, his head was muddy, he thought about it every day, he couldn't eat or sleep, he often hit a tree when he walked, and the Hou Mansion and the civil and military officials who came to pay a visit thought that it was the Marquis of Qinghe who was too sad and sad because of the death of his wife.

But in fact, no one knows what Chen Xu really thinks, even Yu Wuya, who came back with a blue nose and swollen face, felt inexplicable, but Yu Wuya's performance was even more exaggerated, often drooling and smirking while walking alone, a dashing and uninhibited handsome guy in the wind, already in a state of madness.

Seeing that the two men closest to him were so soulless, Shui Qingrou's heart was extremely miserable, and she could only cry secretly.

Three days later, Princess Qingning was buried.

On the day of the burial, the prince Fusu and the prince of Tongwu sent off the hearse, tens of thousands of people in Xianyang followed the weeping, under the escort of the forbidden army with a thousand arms wrapped in white cloth, the palace servants in the Qinghe Marquis Mansion and the palace were all dressed in linen, the prayer flag and the spirit flag winded for several miles, the spirit was buried, the gold and jade jewelry of the burial were innumerable, after the tomb was closed, Chen Xu planted two pines and cypresses in front of the tomb with his own hands, and on the tombstone, he carved the tomb of his beloved wife Princess Qingning.

An unprecedented funeral came to an end, and Xianyang calmed down in an instant.
