Chapter 14: The Soul of Wine and the Sun
A few days later, Li Chunfeng entered the palace with Yuan Shoucheng.
The scenery along the way is both novel and familiar......
Que Lou stands in a forest, the momentum is extraordinary, the vermilion lacquer beam pavilion, everywhere is a prosperous image. They said that the Xuanwumen Incident had been half a month ago, but Li Chunfeng couldn't remember what King Qin was like, and even felt that it had been thousands of years in between.
Li Chunfeng was a little apprehensive in his heart, he heard Yuan Shoucheng say that Yuan Tiangang's previous cultivation of black witchcraft turned him into a blood Gu, just to compete with Li Chunfeng, and was finally broken by Yuan Shoucheng's toad poison and turned into a dried corpse...... And he, Li Chunfeng, was almost killed by the poison of the blood Gu. Now that the Tao has been lost, if King Qin sends any more errands, I am afraid that he will have to take his own life.
In the current Li Chunfeng's view, all kinds of things have been a bit fantastical before, or Old Man Yuan has exaggerated them. What kind of sword flying, fighting with ghosts and gods, going to the sky and entering the earth, these should be things that can only be done by immortals, and I am afraid that I am out of reach. What made him even more troubled was that those experiences, whether they believed it or not, were sometimes vivid, sometimes vague and illusory, as if he was an unreal being.
Think about it, those are the past. In the final analysis, now that his aura has receded, it is unknown whether he can return to the top.
……
In the main hall of the East Palace, the morning deliberations had just ended. The ministers withdrew.
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Shoucheng should go to the palace to meet the prince.
"Chunfeng!" When the crown prince Li Shimin saw someone coming, he rushed over quickly, grabbed Li Chunfeng, and watched for a long time.
"Your Highness!" Li Chunfeng saw that what was holding him was Li Shimin, the king of Qin in his vague impression, the current prince of the East Palace. The excitement is beyond words. In fact, Li Chunfeng wanted to say haha or say hello and it was over, but Li Shimin was so enthusiastic as soon as he came up, and Li Chunfeng couldn't get off the stage by himself, so he could only continue to agree.
"Chunfeng has been feeling better lately?" When Li Shimin came up, he shushed the cold and asked for warmth.
Originally, it was a good thing for the king to have a relationship with his subordinates, but Li Chunfeng felt uncomfortable, the gap between memory and emotion, coupled with the catalyst of time, made the monarch and the minister seem to have more suspicions.
"Back to Your Highness, Chunfeng is much better!" Li Chunfeng replied lightly, his tone was weak and sickly.
"That's good, that's good, today I feast the ministers, Chunfeng and Mr. Yuan must come!" Seeing this, Li Shimin couldn't say anything, after all, Li Chunfeng had just fallen seriously ill and might not have fully recovered.
"Your Highness." The two thanked Li Shimin together.
……
In the evening, the main hall of the East Palace.
The old people of the Qin Palace's mansion gathered, complained heartily, and treated each other with all sincerity, everyone expressed their favor to Li Shimin, but Li Chunfeng did not go, but it was not hypocritical, Li Chunfeng felt inferior.
Just as the ministers were drinking and meat, a strong wind whistled into the hall. The lights flickered, and everyone was shocked.
Immediately, above the dome of the hall, a black shadow slowly fell, this scene made most ordinary people tremble with their legs and feet, and their hearts trembled, although it was in the early summer night, but it made people feel that every breath was like being in the cold winter.
Above the main hall, singing and dancing stopped suddenly, and everyone was silent.
Li Shimin has seen the world in the end, and he shouted again: "Escort!" Escort! But this order seemed to be frozen in the air, no one heard, let alone acted, it seemed that the time of this moment had come to an abrupt end, Li Shimin looked around, everyone stopped at the moment, or standing, or raising a glass, or stunned, he began to be timid, and kept retreating behind him.
"Shimin Xiaoer, you hurt your brother so badly!" The black shadow said a word, and also clarified his identity.
"You...... You are...... Big...... Eldest brother...... Built? Li Shimin shuddered and asked the black shadow.
"What are you afraid of? Is it guilty? Ha...... Ha...... Ha...... Is Li Shimin also afraid? The shadow continued to make a terrible sound. Everywhere the sound goes, it makes people's mouth sour, and the throat is dry and itchy.
"Ahem...... Cough...... cough ......" Li Chunfeng couldn't help coughing, but he was the only one besides Li Shimin who could still move.
"Who?" The black shadow turned sharply to cough, but saw a Taoist priest-like person covering his mouth and coughing.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng like a savior, and tears were already in his eyes.
"Me! Have you forgotten? "Li Chunfeng leaned on the dragon pillar and straightened his body." Your Highness is no wonder, Chunfeng has just recovered from a serious illness, and now he has a cough again, and it is too late to save him! "Say to Li Shimin.
"Hmph, it's up to you?" The dark shadow was disdainful.
"It's up to me! Just because I'm Li Chunfeng! Li Chunfeng held up his strength and snorted angrily. But he is also physically exhausted, some of them are unstable, and they owe their bodies.
"It turned out to be the minion of my Li family, you weren't even eliminated by Yuan Tiangang?" When the black shadow saw that it was Li Chunfeng, he was a little afraid.
"What? Didn't you see Yuan Tiangang? Li Chunfeng suddenly felt bad, could it be that Yuan Tiangang stole the sky and changed the day, or did he use some spell to bring the dead back to life? The master and servant died on the same day, and it is said that they should go to Huangquan together.
"Haha...... Ha...... Ha, what's the difference between seeing and not seeing? You guys...... Two masters, one servant, can die together! Ha ha...... Hah......" the dark shadow laughed wildly.
"If you want to kill and scrape, have a good time! Chunfeng, don't reason with him! "Li Shimin was decisive.
"Then ......," the voice was very long, "it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" This sentence touched the nerve in Li Chunfeng's heart, and the scene of fighting with Yuan Tiangang in the past quickly flashed in his head. After hesitating for a moment, he hurried towards Li Shimin, ready to escort him.
Speaking quickly, the black shadow also rushed towards Li Shimin, and when the two were about to arrive in front of Li Shimin, they met and collided together. A person and a ghost collided with such a strong bang, and there was a loud "bang", and Li Chunfeng didn't know what magic weapon he had on his body, and he bounced the black shadow straight away, as if he had been hit.
"This ......" The black shadow was a little weak, and he didn't dare to step forward in the distance.
Li Chunfeng turned his back to the black shadow, facing Li Shimin, both of them closed their eyes, and they didn't know what was going on at all. After a while, I came back to my senses, saw that I was fine, and breathed a sigh of relief. And Li Chunfeng was shocked, and seemed to remember some basic methods of exorcism.
"Come on!" The black shadow eased up and became more tyrannical, threatening to kill Li Shimin. It seems that there was a lot of resentment in his heart before he died, but the time was short and he did not become evil.
The black shadow came again, the shadow was several times larger, and the darkness that engulfed everything was endless. Li Chunfeng bit his middle finger hard, and the blood from his fingertips to the yang oozed out, and at the moment when the black shadow was close to each other, Li Chunfeng aimed at the black shadow, flicked his fingertips, and the blood beads shot out like projectiles, hitting the black shadow in the blink of an eye.
The black shadow was stunned for a moment, stagnating in front of Er Li, then staggered back a few steps, raised his head and exploded, "Ah! ......", a wisp of white gas overflowed from his throat and rushed out with the sound. Li Chunfeng knew that it was a trace of resentment that the black shadow had formed before he died, and he couldn't come out of his throat, and his long-cherished wish was not fulfilled. At this moment, he is being forced out by yang blood.
The resentment dissipated, the black shadow began to fade a lot, and the form became softer, just like an ordinary human soul, meeting his family before reincarnation. But Li Shimin burst into tears: "Big brother! Don't blame my brother for being ruthless, it was you who didn't give me a way to live, so we fought to the death and took your life! If you want to blame, you blame being born in heaven! ”
The black shadow showed a faint smile, changing the color just now: "I am guilty of a lot of sin, not only harming others. I fornicated incest, and had sex with my father's Zhang Jieyu and Yin Defei, and I have no shame to see my father again, let alone face the ancestors and ancestors, virtuous brothers! You should be a gentleman through the ages, don't take the old road of being a brother! After that, the shadow of nothingness gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
Li Shimin touched his tears, and wanted to say two more family words, but he saw that the Si people had passed away.
"Your Highness, Li Jiancheng has already lost his soul!" Li Chunfeng said lightly.
Li Shimin looked at Li Chunfeng, and then looked at the people around him. "They ......" Li Shimin saw that everyone still stopped at the moment just now, and did not move.
"Don't get in the way, just draw a pure heart talisman." After Li Chunfeng finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the middle of the main hall, pinched his gourd fingers, and recited the mantra: "Taishang Taixing should not stop, drive away evil spirits and bind charms, protect life and body, wisdom and purity, peace of mind, three souls are permanent, no loss of spirit, solve grievances and curses, Taishang Laojun, urgent as the law!" ”
The order was forbidden, and everyone's hearts were clear for a while, and they suddenly came to their senses. Seeing Li Shimin sitting on the top position, Li Chunfeng was exhausted and fell to the ground.
"Quick! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! Li Shimin ordered.
A few people on the side who didn't know what was going on stepped forward to support Li Chunfeng. Li Shimin came to Li Chunfeng's side again. Li Chunfeng opened his eyes slightly and shook his head at him, I don't know what it means! Li Shimin can understand one or two, one is not to say what happened just now, and two Li Chunfeng is fine. This is a little secret between the two of them, and it also involves the face of Li Tang's royal family.
……
Following. Li Yuan issued an edict. abolished the positions of Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu and entered the cold palace. His sons Li Yuanheng and Li Yuanfang were expelled from the clan. The palace maids and eunuchs who served the two were chopped into meat puree and thrown to the mass grave to feed the dogs!
Li Chunfeng was lying on the sickbed in the East Palace, listening to the eunuchs who came to read the decree, with an expression, talking about Li Yuan's decree in the morning......
Thanks to Li Chunfeng's rescue, Li Shimin was able to survive the danger, and in order to express his gratitude, Li Shimin immediately rewarded Li Chunfeng with a mansion. In the eyes of the crown prince, this is far from saving lives! It is even gagged with a reward.
What does Li Chunfeng not understand?
……
The new mansion is being renovated, so Li Chunfeng has to find a place to live for a long time, a normal man like him, living in the palace will inevitably have gossip. Simply find an inn, charter a house for a long time, and wait to move into the mansion.
Out of the palace gate, to the east of the city stroll, saw an inn called the world club, happily entered. Prepare to comfort your own temple.
"Xiao Er, let's have a plate of peanuts, a plate of beef in sauce, and two plates of other cold dishes." Li Chunfeng ordered a few snacks at random.
"This guest officer, are you new to Datang? You don't know! Our Datang beef has animal registration, and it can't be killed on weekdays, let alone eaten! If you eat beef, you can ......," Xiao Er said, gesturing a head-cutting motion with his hand on his neck.
"Oh? Then just change it to whatever meat you want! Li Chunfeng seems to have forgotten the laws of Datang, and in his memory, sauced beef is his favorite meat, why doesn't Datang let him eat it? Datang doesn't let you eat it, where have you eaten it? Studied but cannot comprehend.
