The Taoist priest came quickly, as if he had been waiting to be summoned by Shen Yuli.

Shen Yuli is not crazy. He sat upright in his chair, his expression calming down.

"You tell me how to get her back." He said.

The Taoist priest looked at him with an indifferent expression: "Your Majesty, all the evil spirits in the palace have been scattered. At this moment, Yuyu clarified that there were no ghosts to come back. ”

"She's not an evil one." Shen Yuli looked at the "egg" and then looked up at the Taoist priest, "She's just a stupid child, she doesn't even know who she is." ”

The Taoist priest glanced at him and sighed, "But she is indeed evil. ”

Shen Yuli's fingers clenched unconsciously.

"She didn't hurt anyone," he said, "whether she was a sparrow or something, she never had the intention of harming anyone." I remember that I invited you into the palace this time to get rid of ghosts, why do you even ...... a little demon?"

"She's not a little demon," the Taoist priest still looked gloomy, "she's not a demon." ”

Shen Yuli looked at the bead again, and the crazy thought that had flashed in his mind before resurfaced.

"Could it be that she is ......," he blurted out, "that she has brought on the evil in this palace?" From the haunting of the palace to the murder of her father, everything was planned by her in order to avenge the Chu family and build a temple? …… She's been lying to me? ”

Several questions were thrown out one after another, and the Taoist priest frowned.

Shen Yuli was so nervous that he forgot to breathe, his face turned from white to red, and finally he almost turned a little blue.

The Taoist priest finally opened his mouth and hesitated: "Poor Dao has not been in Beijing for a long time, and I don't know who has planned anything in the palace. But the person your majesty asks should not have deceived the king. As His Majesty said: she is a stupid child, and she doesn't even know who she is. ”

Shen Yuli exhaled in one breath, and suddenly felt dizzy.

The little sparrow didn't lie to him! She just doesn't understand it herself!

He repeated this sentence several times in his heart, and finally regained two points of strength, and asked again: "You said that she is not a demon, and you said that she doesn't know who she is, so ...... is she?"

What the hell is she?

The Taoist priest still frowned, looking at him suspiciously: "Your Majesty really doesn't know the Soul Cultivation Bead?" ”

Shen Yuli shook his head, indicating that he really didn't know.

That beautiful bead, the "egg" that was taken back to the nest by the sparrows as the same kind is called the soul nourishing bead?

What is that for?

The Taoist priest twisted the dust lightly and sighed: "The soul nourishing bead is not a specific treasure, but a rare antique that has given birth to aura for a long time, and then stained with the blood of the tragic death, can often collect and store the soul of the deceased along with the obsession." Even if such a treasure has a chance, it can be cultivated more easily than ordinary demons, and it will soon be able to return to the world with the obsession of the deceased. ”

Shen Yuli had never heard of such a thing, and he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time.

The Taoist priest sighed: "Therefore, Your Majesty's girl who circulates the forest is like a demon and not a demon, but a ghost and not a ghost, just because she is a wisp of unjust soul attached to this bead." ”

Wronged souls.

Shen Yuli grabbed these two words, and his heart tightened again.

There is no shortage of unjust souls in this palace, and certainly there is no shortage of blood of those who died tragically. But he never thought that the happy little sparrow also came with resentment and obsession.

...... the hell she

Who is it?

"Dao Chief," Shen Yuli looked at the beads and said in a dumb voice: "Huanlin is obsessed with helping all the wronged souls in this palace, so I took great pains to persuade me to invite you to come, I thought this was also a merit for her, but unexpectedly, ......"

"Your Majesty," the Taoist priest bowed down and persuaded, "If the soul on the Soul Nourishing Bead is still there, it will not be easily dissipated. Now that the soul of the girl around the forest is gone, she must have fulfilled her wish, and there is no longer anything to worry about. ”

"But I'm still concerned!" Shen Yuli slapped the back of the chair and stood up anxiously: "I don't even know who she is...... She's just gone cleanly, let me do what! ”

The Taoist priest sighed, shaking the dust in his hand.

"That's it," he said, "Miss Huanlin has a good heart, and she will not bear to think about your majesty's life of hardship." ”

Shen Yuli's eyes immediately lit up: "Does the Dao Chief have a way to let me see her?" ”

The Taoist priest sighed: "This soul bead must have a place." Your Majesty follows it, and you should know some cause and effect. As for whether you can see the predecessor of Miss Winding Lin, it depends on the creation. ”

Shen Yuli was overjoyed and cried with joy.

I saw the Taoist priest draw a few words in mid-air, and then volleyed his empty fingers, and the bead emitted a warm red light, as if it was supported by an invisible hand, and slowly floated up.

"Keep up!" The Taoist priest suddenly shouted.

Shen Yuli didn't think about it and immediately stepped to catch up, but saw the bead floating all the way, turning out of a palace gate, passing through a sandwich road, walking through a long street, and finally stopping at the door of the Buddhist hall for a moment, and slowly floating in.

Buddha Hall!

Shen Yuli paused, and suddenly remembered that every time he passed by the Buddha Hall in the past, he would feel uncomfortable around the forest, and he didn't even have a good impression of the Qixiang Palace near the Buddha Hall.

He always thought that she was a monster and didn't like gods and Buddhas, but he never thought that the Buddha Hall was exactly where she was born.

Of course, the place where the "Soul Nourishing Bead" was born is, in another sense, the place where her predecessor died tragically with hatred.

No wonder, no wonder!

Shen Yuli was worrying all the way, as if he had thought of many things in his mind, but it was a mess, and he couldn't figure anything out.

He saw the bead float into the Buddha hall and fall into the palm of the Buddha statue, like a baby lying in the cradle, in a very quiet posture.

"Dao Chief, she ......"

He turned around and tried to ask the priest, but he couldn't find anyone.

The scene behind him has changed sometime, no longer surrounded by statues of Buddha shrines and incense burners, but empty, and the light is so dim that it seems to be a little cold.

Shen Yuli was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back at the Buddha's hand, only to see that the red halo on the bead had disappeared, and it was still back to the appearance it had when he first saw it—it was just a brilliant pearl.

The bead fell from the mouth of the carved phoenix head on the beam, and the Buddha statue caught it with a broad palm.

In troubled times, the Buddha cannot benefit all sentient beings. All it can shelter is this small bead.

The light and shadow in front of me is a tragedy a few years ago.

Shen Yuli heard the sound of killing outside the window, and the sound of crying, footsteps, and begging for mercy became chaotic.

Then the door curtain sounded, and a peerless beauty wearing a red robe and a phoenix hairpin held a sword in her right hand, but in her left hand she was carrying a bright and beautiful little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and she broke in in three steps and two steps.

Knowing that there was a phantom in front of him, Shen Yuli still involuntarily took two steps back.

He'd seen the little girl's appearance!

The first time he saw the forest as a girl, the little girl in the pink dress, wasn't it exactly what he looked like in front of him?

Shen Yuli's heart was suddenly a little confused, and for a while he couldn't tell when it was real and when it was illusory, let alone which face of the "little sparrow" who could change his appearance was real.

At this time, the light and shadow in front of him have turned a lot, and the outside seems to be quieter, but the inside of the hall is terrifyingly depressed.

Shen Yuli heard a shrill voice outside and shouted: "Queen Mother, our great commander will do what he says, as long as you hand over the jade seal and open the palace door to welcome the righteous army into the palace, you can still be the queen for a while!" The Chu clan is already declining, you are young and beautiful, why should you be martyred for this dirty dynasty! ”

Shen Yuli recognized this voice.

This was a lieutenant general beside his father, who had led a small group of soldiers into Miyagi three times in the years when the so-called "rebels" were besieging Kyoto, and the army praised him for his bravery.

The "our great commander" in this person's mouth refers to Shen Heng, Shen Yuli's father and the founding emperor of this dynasty.

Shen Yuli also heard from his grandmother that the soldiers entered the palace to find the jade seal, but at that time, the king of the Chu family was still there, and the loyal ministers and righteous soldiers swore to serve the country to the death, and I don't know how many people used their flesh and blood to protect the palace wall, so the jade seal never fell into the hands of the "righteous army".

Shen Yuli wasn't sure what year he was seeing at this time, but he saw the beauty in red grabbing the girl's shoulder and asking, "Bao'er, are you afraid of death?" ”

"Mother, I ......" The little girl's eyes were full of tears, and the word "afraid" was about to blurt out.

The beauty in red had a slightly gloomy face.

The little girl bit the corner of her lip stubbornly, looked up at the Buddha statue for a long time, and said, "I'm afraid of death, but I'm willing to die." The queen mother, Bao Yue enjoys the dignity of the princess, is supported by the world, and is martyred when she is in danger. …… Die without complaint. ”

"Bao'er!" The beauty in red burst into tears.

The shouting outside the door continued, and the red-clothed beauty suddenly took out something from her arms and handed it to her daughter: "Your father said that you are the lucky star of the Celestial Empire...... Now you see, where should this thing be hidden? ”

It was a piece of jade that was square and warm.

Decree.

I saw that the little girl casually took the jade seal and put it in her arms, and then lifted the veil under the Buddhist shrine and got in. After a ding-dong sound, she came out again, and the placket of her clothes was as flat as ever, and the jade seal was no longer in it.

"The back of the right foot of the Buddha statue can be opened," said the little girl's faint voice, "The world thinks that the Buddha statue is carved from a whole stone, so even if the thieves smash the Buddha statue in the future, they will not be able to find the jade seal." Mother, this secret is only known to my brother and me. ”

"Zhang'er also knows?" The beauty in red was overjoyed, "That's the heavens that are endless, my heavenly empire...... Bao'er, we won't die in vain! ”

In the end, before the word "death" fell, the blood under the little girl's neck had gushed out, and the whole person fell straight forward.

Shen Yuli was shocked, and instinctively rushed forward to try to hold her, but watched as the other party passed through his arm and fell into the arms of the Buddha statue.

It turned out to be a phantom.

Shen Yuli sat on the ground, his heart aching.

The red-clothed beauty clenched the hilt of the sword, trembled for a long time, and finally slowly removed the blade from under her daughter's neck, retracted it with a sudden, and instantly wiped it on her own neck.

The same red blood gushed out, and the offering table in front of the Buddha statue was already red.

The beauty in red threw down her sword, struggled forward and grabbed the little girl's hand: "Bao'er, you wait for your mother, let's ...... together"

There was a loud bang at the door, and it was the soldiers of the "Righteous Army" outside who rushed in. Shen Yuli looked at the deputy general's face that was praised as heroic and extraordinary, and hated it so much that the roots of his teeth hurt.

The lieutenant general was stunned when he saw the mother and daughter who died in one place in the hall, and then his face changed greatly: "Dead? This...... How do we explain to the Grand Commander? ”

"Boss, this is not good!" The soldier next to him hurriedly said, "The person who is important to the Great Commander is dead, we should at least take the jade seal back, otherwise we won't be able to make this trip!" ”

The adjutant general waved his knife and said "fucking nonsense", raised his foot and kicked over the two corpses, rummaged inside and out very unceremoniously, and then ping-pong smashed the Buddha hall.

After that, the picture became more and more empty, and Shen Yuli only faintly heard words such as "how many can be killed" and "next month's great commander's birthday".

Later, the layer of darkness slowly dissipated, and the soft light shone in, and the figure of the Taoist priest finally appeared in front of Shen Yuli's eyes.

"Come to think of it, Your Majesty has already harvested?" The Taoist priest asked clearly.

Shen Yuli looked back at the palm of the Buddha statue, but saw that the color of the bead was dim, not only was there no red light, but even the previous treasure color had disappeared.

The Taoist priest sighed: "Emperor Baoyue's obsession has been resolved, and she must have been reincarnated at this moment." Your Majesty, you two have no chance, so you can't force it. ”

Shen Yuli subconsciously raised his hand to grab the bead, but he couldn't catch it several times, so he had to hold the Buddha statue and stand up with difficulty, his body swaying, looking very pitiful.

The Taoist priest sighed and did not persuade again, and walked out slowly.

Shen Yuli finally grabbed the bead, held it in his palm for a long time, and looked up at the direction of the Buddha's right foot.

"Jade seal," he gritted his teeth, as if crying and laughing, "It's just a broken stone, and it's worth your life to hide?" If he was really a little fool, he was in his previous life. ”

He didn't go to get the jade seal, he casually took the beads into his arms and walked out slowly.

Outside the door, many old ministers knelt on the ground and waited, and when they saw him come out, everyone was overjoyed.

"Hu Zhengyong of the Ministry of War," Shen Yu said, "In the past, when he led the troops, he killed innocents indiscriminately and did many evils, and he was dismissed and handed over to Dali Temple for investigation. The relatives and soldiers under his account are questioned in the same case, and there must be no mistakes! ”

The ministers looked at each other, and some generals hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Your Majesty, Lord Hu has been fighting with the first emperor for many years, and now he is retiring." If it is rashly handed over to Dali Temple for questioning, the world will have to talk about His Majesty's indiscriminate killing of heroes......"

The words were clear, but Shen Yuli's footsteps did not stop at all. The official waited for a long time to respond, so he had to carefully get up and look, only to find that their emperor had long since gone away.

The officials present looked at each other, and everyone looked very bad.

The new emperor was really moody, just like his father.

It's hard to work under such an emperor!

Shen Yuli didn't know what the ministers thought of him. He didn't even know what he was thinking or doing.

I don't know how long I walked all the way, and when he stopped, he realized that he hadn't returned to the dormitory, and of course he hadn't gone to any Qixiang Palace or Taihe Palace.

The barren grass in front of him and the few doors and walls were a scenery that he was once very familiar with.

Miyagi Deserted Garden.

It was the place where he first met the little sparrow.

The beads in his arms were hot like a cluster of small flames, and Shen Yuli felt that his heart was also hot.

Bao'er, Chu Baoyue.

His circumambulation of the forest is not a sparrow of "how many phoenixes", but a real phoenix. She is the Baoyue Emperor who was called auspicious from heaven in the previous dynasty, but it became a joke because of the death of the country!

The disaster of the Chu family and the disaster of Emperor Baoyue were all given by the Shen family; And all the disasters encountered by the little sparrow around the forest after being reborn were all given by him.

Shen Yuli sat on the broken threshold and said in a dumb voice: "You ...... in your last life." No, in the previous life, they must have owed me a lot. ”

As soon as the words fell, a little pink face suddenly appeared outside the decadent broken wall, his eyes were round, his mouth was pouting, and he was puffing out: "Hey, you are unreasonable!" When did I owe you! ”
