Riding horses and chariots to the royal capital was a privilege unique to the nobility.

Picking up the curtains, Miao Miao, looking at the scenery outside the window, had a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.

Gift?

What a gift.

Speaking of which, the road is in bad condition, and it is not as comfortable as riding in a carriage as Edgeworth. However, since it was rewarded by the Queen Mother, how could a "lowly" monk not know how to lift up?

Miao Miao sat in the carriage and didn't talk about any integrity. Anyway, the person who is uncomfortable now is the monarch and not her, so if you delay it for one more day, you will suffer one more day, and they like to suffer, so let them go.

Fast horses, so three days later, Miao Miao and his party arrived at the royal capital.

Before entering the city gate, someone quickly greeted him, whispered a few words in Qu Ling's ear, Qu Ling's face changed, and immediately said: "County Jun, immediately follow me into the palace." ”

followed Qu Ling into the palace, hurried to the king's bedroom, and before anyone approached, he heard a heart-rending roar.

"It's a dead man, quick, get the ice!"

"You can't, you can't!"

The sounds of crying, persuasion, and roaring were mixed together, and they kept coming from the palace, and it seemed very terrifying.

The palace maids and temple people kneeling in a row outside the temple gate all hung their heads and kept trembling.

Seeing Qu Ling coming, someone immediately came up, knelt down and cried, "Lord Zuotu, hurry up and save Junshang!" Junshang was surrounded by black gas, and kept shouting heat, that black gas was so weird, just the Queen Mother was here, and she was also infected by the black gas, and at this time the person had been carried back to the dormitory. ”

Ah Zhi is really good at doing things.

On the way here, Miao Miao quietly let Ah Zhi out, this guy doesn't need to tell himself, he knows how to do things, it's really a very useful monster!

Qu Ling subconsciously looked at Miao Miao and asked, "I haven't dared to ask the county monarch ......."

He hesitated, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "If it is really as the county monarch said, is there a way to save it?"

Miao Miao pretended to ponder, and after a while she said, "Demonic qi can be suppressed, and my master also has this method." Just ......"

She looked at Qu Ling and said, "I said before that monsters are things born of the resentment of heaven and earth. And most of the original owners of these grievances died miserably, dying with great resentment before they died. If you want to get rid of your grudges, you can only go too far and stop killing. ”

Qu Ling's face was bitter, and he wriggled his lips and said, "I also feel that it is inappropriate to sacrifice living people, and it is against heaven and peace. But the state of Chu is like this, how can I change it alone?"

He fell silent. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "Okay! My Qu family has been favored by the monarch for generations, and today Qu Ling will enshrine this remnant body to the king!"

Miao Miao's heart moved, and asked, "Do you want it?"

"If the death is not successful, Qu Ling will replace the slave with his body, and I will sacrifice it. ”

There was shock in Miao Miao's eyes.

Giving your life for someone else?

She lowered her eyes, suppressed the shock and admiration in her heart, and said in a low voice: "Maybe you don't have to do this." ”

After a pause, he said, "Let's heal the monarch first." ”

Qu Ling nodded.

took Miao Miao and followed the temple people into the dormitory. The vision in the dormitory is dim. Monsters don't like light, and after being infected by demonic energy, they will also be contaminated with the habits of monsters, and they are afraid of light.

Inside the dormitory, all natural light is obscured, except for a few large butter candles that slightly dispel the blackness of the room. The monarch was tied to a chair, his wrists were bloodied, and his eyes had turned completely red. He kept screaming, and someone tried to shove the cloth into his mouth, but his finger was bitten off.

A terrible cry lingered in the dormitory, where is this palace? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is purgatory on earth.

And Yang Miaomiao, who caused this scene, was indifferent.

Yes, these people look miserable, and the monarch is even more miserable. But aren't those who are sacrificed alive miserable? Bloodletting is the most merciful way to die! Not only do you have to die, but you also have to be tortured and then die, and when you compare them with them, you will feel that there is nothing miserable about the king.

Just take a little sin!

What is this suffering compared to those whom he ordered to sacrifice?

"County gentleman, please hurry up and heal!"

Qu Ling said anxiously: "The king seems to be unconscious, even if he wants to advise, he can't do it!"

Miao Miao nodded, took out a talisman and threw it over.

With a "snap", all the noise stopped as the talisman was attached to the door of Mi Shu's head.

Miao Miao stepped forward, and everyone automatically got out of the way.

Hundreds of imperial doctors and medical cultivators were helpless, and they couldn't even calm down the king. But this Ji girl, as soon as she made a move, she quieted down the monarch, which shows the power of the children of Shanmen.

Miao Miao stepped forward, stretched out her hand, condensed the spiritual thread with her five fingers, and after pretending to diagnose and treat it, she took out another pill, opened the monarch's mouth, and stuffed the pill into it.

After a while, the red in the monarch's eyes faded, and the magic pattern faded a little.

A group of people saw it and couldn't help but exclaim, "Divine doctor, divine doctor!"

What Miao Miao gave was really an elixir to restrain demonic energy. After all, Ah Zhi is a real monster, and this monarch is really infected by demonic energy. Now take out this elixir and give it to him, it will naturally be good. But after the invasion of demonic energy, if you want to be completely good, you have to spend a lot of effort, and even require me to be pure and have few desires. Otherwise, it is difficult to say what will become of it in the future.

Of course, Miao Miao was worried that the monarch would not go completely crazy. Perhaps, in the long run, it would be better if Mishu went crazy. Only when the king is unbearable can the murderer be brought out. The death of one person, in exchange for the destruction of human and animal sacrifices, is worth it!

She stretched out her hand and took off the talisman, Qi Shu's eyes rolled, as if in a dream, and after being stunned for a moment, she said with some surprise: "Are you ...... Why is Jingshu County Jun here?"

"Your Majesty!"

Qu Ling stepped forward quickly, with tears in his eyes, crying, and after recounting what happened during this time, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please stop the sacrifice of people and animals." Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the kingdom will be destroyed and there will be demons......?

"Presumptuous!"

Mi Shu pointed at Qu Ling, and his face, which still had demonic energy, became more and more hideous, "You, are you cursing the widow's country?!"

After that, he didn't wait for Qu Ling to explain, he looked at Miao Miao, and he said with a grim face: "Jingshu County Jun, I don't know what your intentions are?

Although her face was grim, Miao Miao was not afraid, she took out a mirror with a faint expression, and said: "Does the king think I am telling a lie? So can the king explain where the black lines on his face come from? What other poison can play a contagious role in this world? I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? The queen mother was also infected by the demonic qi, just when she came into contact with you." ”

"What?!"

Mi Shu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a little panic: "How is the queen mother now?"

"Return, return to the king. ”

A temple man trembled and said: "The Queen Mother is now in a coma and has been carried back to the palace." ”

"This ......"

Mishu hesitated.

Yes.

What kind of poison can infect others?

And he hasn't left the palace yet, and he was obviously infected by others!

"......"

He suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "If it is contagious, why are the people who serve me not infected?"

"Your Majesty, contagion is just a description. ”

Miao Miao said unhurriedly: "It can only be said that someone was possessed by a monster outside the palace, and then brought it back to the palace and got on your body again." ”

She paused, deliberately silent for a long time, before sighing: "The people in my mountain gate should not be in charge of worldly affairs, this matter was explained by my master when I went down the mountain. He said that those who cultivate the truth must not be tainted with cause and effect, and all cause and effect must be repaid. It's just that Miao Miao went down the mountain alone, protected by the monarch, eating the rice and grain of the Chu country, drinking the water of the pregnant river of the Chu country, if something happened but he didn't see it, he really didn't want to go. ”

These words were said sincerely, and Qi Shu nodded again and again.

Miao Miao continued: "When I heard about the sacrifice of a living person before, I felt strange in my heart. Even ghosts and gods have benevolent hearts, like the ghosts and gods in the Yama Palace, which one of them is not merciful? Where would they like to kill? And I heard that the heirs of the Chu royal family are difficult, your lord, don't you really have the slightest association? Why are the heirs of every Chu king so scarce? Surely the things left by the ancestors will not be tampered with?"

"This ?!!"

Qi Shu's eyes widened, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Superiors have a common problem: suspicion.

It's okay that no one reminds you of some things, but once you are reminded, your own brain is much more terrible than that of ordinary people!

It's like the richer you are, the more afraid you are of death.

The more you are at the top of the food chain, the more serious your delusion of victimization is.

Obviously, Mi Shu is not a saint, Miao Miao's three words and a few words, his delusional hysteria can't be stopped.

"Speaking ......"

As soon as Qu Ling saw the drama, he immediately said: "My Chu people did not have any human sacrifice at the earliest, but it was only from three hundred years ago that the first king Chu Ling was crowned with a living sacrifice. Monarch, there won't be anyone doing anything here, right? Speaking of which, although my Chu State is strong, there are many natural disasters, will it?"

Mishu fell into deep thought.

And Miao Miao said: "No matter what, Miao Miao still implore the king to suspend this sacrifice, let me prepare, and first do it to surpass the undead." If the resentment can be dissipated, then there is nothing wrong with the sacrifice. If the grievance cannot be eliminated, then there is a problem with human sacrifice. In addition, you may want to give it a try. ”

"Try what?"

Mishu is now also a master of the six gods. Although Miao Miao alleviated his pain, his heart was like a fire burning, and he was very anxious. And this kind of anxiety makes him want to kill and see blood, but once this thought arises, he will be in pain again, and he can't wait to bite himself a few times.

Looking at the white cloth wrapped around his hand, he faintly remembered the scene where he bit himself, and he was very flustered.

What is the law of the ancestors, that is the business of the ancestors! But his fate is his own!

"If the king doesn't tell the world, this sacrifice will be canceled. If the symptoms are relieved, it may be possible to determine whether there is a connection to human sacrifice. ”

Miao Miao got up and put on her blessing body, "Your Majesty, it is true that your ancestors can sprout shades, but what if your ancestors' merits are insufficient? Now that several countries are eyeing our Chu State, if this matter is spread to Zhao State and Ning Kingdom, it will definitely cause a storm!

Miao Miao looked loyal, and she was moved when she saw it.

Although he is a monk, he is grateful, and he is worthy of being trained by the masters of the mountain gate, which is different from those bewitching and cheap goods!

People are like this, once they feel that the other party is for their own good, they can blur the identity and status of the other party, add filters to everything, and even those imperfections can find excuses to explain for the other party.

Miao Miao's sincere performance made Mi Shu appreciate it greatly, thought about Miao Miao's identity, and then looked at his own situation, so he nodded, "This is a great good, the widow will listen to you once." ”

After a pause, he said: "The queen mother still has to bother the county monarch." ”

He waved his hand and said, "Go, tidy up a palace room and let the county monarch live." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

Miao Miao looked grateful, "Miao Miao will do her best to heal you and the Queen Mother." ”

"I'll leave the words of thanksgiving for later. ”

Mi Shu said a little tiredly: "You discuss with Qu Ling about how to go over, and the matter will be handed over to the two of you." ”

"Whoa!"

With the king's instructions, the people below also moved quickly. Miao Miao was soon carried to the queen mother's bedroom, and after a talisman was thrown over, she drew a gourd to rectify it, and the queen mother, who had always looked down on monks, realized that maybe the children of the mountain gate were indeed different from ordinary monks.

At the moment, the attitude has softened a lot, but that's all.

The Queen Mother was born in Haizhou and is the daughter of the royal family of Haizhou State, with a high status. Although she married to Chu with her relatives, the first king has always treated her like a jewel, so after all these years, her behavior is still no different from that of the little princess back then, and she is very casual.

Four hundred years ago, there was a man named Lu Qiu in Haizhou who spread the etiquette of benevolence, recruited disciples, and wrote books. Later, when this person's yang life was approaching, he came to the Jiangzhou River alone, stared at the demon domain on the other side of the river for a long time, and finally let out a sigh, and was speechless.

Sanctification with a human body is something that only exists in legends. Although the truth of this matter is debatable, the people of Haizhou believe it. So they took the book written by this sage, and after some self-understanding, they came up with the set of kings and ministers, fathers, fathers, sons, and sons. Outside of this system, they also absorbed the "merits" of each country, and divided people into six classes: peasants, merchants, slaves, and monks.

Monks, at the bottom.

The Queen Mother, who grew up in such an environment, could have a good sense of the monks? In her eyes, these people were more inferior beings than slaves.

I can understand it.

After all, slaves are killed when they are killed, and nothing can be done to them.

But the monks are different. The monk has the power, and he can't kill him at will. After all, the monks ran faster than them, what if one of their brains was pumped and they were not afraid of falling demons and rose up to resist?

This kind of despicable and helpless attitude eventually made the monk the bottom of the entire food chain, although only in name, but as long as the name could restrict the monk from doing many things, and the nobles could also demand benefits from the monk.

Now that the Queen Mother can calmly say a few words to Miao Miao, in her opinion, this is a great grace.

After all, in the past, she had disdained to speak to monks.
