Chapter 35: The Death of the Heavenly Master
Zhang Heng forcibly used the internal force to suppress the pain in his abdomen, and reluctantly stood up, his face was completely bloodless, Zhang Heng encouraged him to finish the Tao Te Ching, and his body staggered down to Yingxiantai, and the elders of the Heavenly Master's Mansion also found out that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Zhang Heng raised his hand to stop it.
Presiding over this spring ceremony is Zhang Heng's younger brother, Zhang Quan. Zhang Quan's expression remained unchanged, and the elders of the Heavenly Master's Mansion escorted Zhang Heng to leave Yingxianping and go to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Zhang Quan is responsible for handling the aftermath of the Spring Ceremony.
The spring ceremony is over, and the believers and the people have not noticed anything unusual, only a group of martial arts heroes, and someone stepped forward to ask Zhang Quandao, "What's wrong with the Heavenly Master?" ”
Zhang Quan said with a smiling face, "My body is sick, it's not a big deal" After all, Zhang Heng is a heavenly master and a Taoist leader, and before there is a clear reason, Zhang Quan can only say so.
The people watching the ceremony gradually dispersed, and Zhang Heng was taken back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion by the elders of the guards without stopping.
As soon as Zhang Heng entered the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his eyes turned black, and he couldn't see anything
"Poof"
Zhang Heng spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the surrounding elders were a little panicked when they saw that the blood Zhang Heng spit out turned pure black, and the elders who were good at medical skills hurriedly asked people to put Zhang Heng on the bed and said, "Heavenly Master, this is poisoned!" ”
"What then?" The other elders also had mixed faces
"Father!"
Zhang Lu heard the news at this time and stumbled in, and when he saw Zhang Heng who was unconscious with a bloodless face, Zhang Lu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Suddenly, he raised his head and said to the people around him, "Who did this?" ”
The elders looked at each other, yes, who caused this poison? In the panic just now, no one even thought about this problem.
Seeing that no one answered him, Zhang Lu shouted to the people around him with a hideous face, "What are you doing with it?" Check it out for me!! ”
All the elders hurriedly left, leaving the elder who knew some medical skills, this elder in his forties was named Qingzhuzi, refining the art of building Dan, as the saying goes, Dan medicine is not separated, so this Qingzhuzi also has some research on medical skills, Zhang Lu stared at Qingzhuzi and asked, "What kind of poison is in my father?" ”
Qingzhuzi said in a tired tone, "Little Heavenly Master, I don't know below, but depending on the situation of the Heavenly Master, this poison is dangerous, and the Heavenly Master is afraid that it will ......."
"I'm afraid of what? Isn't there a guy named Hua Tuo? Isn't he known as the world's number one miracle doctor? Get him for me! ”
Qingzhuzi said with an embarrassed face, "But this Hua Tuo's whereabouts are uncertain, and the Heavenly Master's fate is on the verge of death, I'm afraid that even if Hua Tuo is found, the Heavenly Master will have already died of poison at that time!" ”
Zhang Lu sat down on the ground all of a sudden, at this moment he completely lost his former arrogance, could he only watch his father die like this?
Unknowingly, it was getting late, and after Zhang Quan was busy with the Spring Ceremony, he hurried to the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Zhang Quan walked on the mountain path of Tianzhu Peak, only a few of the Taoist disciples of Zhengyi still stayed on Tianzhu Peak to clean, he had already learned from the mouths of some elders that his brother was highly poisonous, and he had long wanted to go back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but he couldn't mess around here, and he couldn't let other sects notice the abnormality of Zhengyi. After all, for such a big matter, it's better to keep it a secret first.
Just as Zhang Quan was thinking, suddenly the murderous machine suddenly rose, Zhang Quan hurriedly retreated, the fierce sword light crossed, he felt severe pain in his body, and his breath was disordered and fell to the ground.
Zhang Quan covered his stomach, a deep wound was cut by a sharp blade in his abdomen, Zhang Quan endured severe pain and looked at the masked man in black who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" Is the attack on the Elder of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to be my enemy? ”
"Hahaha"
The masked man in black smiled arrogantly, "I even dare to kill your Heavenly Master, let alone an elder of your family."
Zhang Quan was shocked, this person was actually related to his eldest brother's poisoning case? Zhang Quan quietly pinched out a talisman, he was not good at fighting, this talisman could only send a signal for help.
The masked man in black took two steps forward and kicked the talisman in Zhang Quan's hand away, and then kicked Zhang Quan to the ground, and the masked man stepped on Zhang Quan's back, and the gloomy voice sounded in Zhang Quan's ears, "Unexpected, unexpected, your Heavenly Master's Mansion Zhang family also has today?" Because of Zhang Daoling's relationship, you seem to be high everywhere, even if you don't have any cultivation, you can steal the position of elder? Even if you don't cultivate well, you can be the next generation of Heavenly Masters, although Zhengyi was created by your Zhang family, but what ability do you have to steal the position of Heavenly Master!? ”
The masked man in black seemed to be venting loudly, Zhang Quan couldn't move when he was trampled, and could only barely speak, "You are from the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" ”
The masked man in black strained his feet, "That's right! Want to know who I am? The masked man in black crushed Zhang Quan's leg bones with his feet, Zhang Quan screamed in pain because of the severe pain, and the masked man raised his foot and kicked Zhang Quan down the cliff on the side of the mountain road, "Go to the underworld and ask!" ”
There are many people gathered in the Heavenly Master Hall of the Heavenly Master Mansion at this moment, there are disciples of the Zhang family and elders of the Heavenly Master Mansion, and there are three women who still have charm sitting in the inner hall, and Zhang Lu, Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei, Zhang Yulan, Zhang Zheng, these Zhang Heng's children. These three women are Zhang Heng, Zhang Quan's sister, Zhang Wenguang, Zhang Xianji, and Zhang Fangzhi.
Zhang Daoling gave birth to two sons and four girls, and the eldest daughter is named Zhang Wenji, who has been immortal for many years.
At this moment, Zhang Wenguang looked at the sandalwood in the hall and couldn't sit still, Zhang Wenguang stood up and muttered, "When is this, why hasn't the third brother come back yet?" ”
"Yes! But I'm in a hurry," Zhang Wenji also echoed and said, "Why don't you find someone to find the third brother?" ”
"Gongqi, go and let the people below go to find your third uncle!"
Zhang Lu nodded, turned around and walked out of the inner hall, and ordered a few people to look for Zhang Quan.
"cough~cough~cough"
Zhang Heng lay on the bed and coughed a few times, the people in the room were surprised and delighted, after being in a coma for so long, Zhang Heng finally opened his eyes, his lips were dry and purple, and his face was a little flushed, Zhang Lu happened to come in from the outer hall and saw this scene and knelt down in front of the bed at the moment of excitement "Father"
Zhang Heng waved his hand weakly and interrupted Zhang Lu's words, "Help me sit up"
Zhang Lu Yiyan helped Zhang Heng up, Zhang Heng gasped for breath, and he looked around, "Where is the third child?" ”
Zhang Lu said in a low voice: "I have sent someone to find it!" ”
Zhang Heng smiled miserably, "Forget it, most of your third uncle has also encountered an accident!" ”
As soon as Zhang Heng's words came out, everyone in the inner hall changed color, Zhang Heng stopped what the people in the room wanted to say, and continued, "All gods will fall, not to mention you and me, mortals, Gongqi, remember to take care of your younger brothers and sisters!" Don't let anyone hurt them! ”
"Father, I will" Zhang Lu's tears snatched out of his eyes, Zhang Heng looked at the roof with a smile on his face, his expression was intoxicated, reminiscing about the old days, the wind and snow were shaking, one big and one small two backs stood on the top of the imperial capital, watching a heavy snowfall, he whispered, "Then I will rest assured." "I really want to see the snow on the top of the imperial capital again!"
Zhang Heng's voice gradually became smaller, his hand fell weakly, and Zhang Heng, the heir of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, fell.
It was night, and a star crossed the crape myrtle and set in the southwest.
There was a cry in the inner hall of the Heavenly Master Hall, Zhang Lu wiped away his tears, as if he had matured a lot, he staggered out of the inner hall, looked at the elders in the outer hall and said, "The heir has gone!" After saying this, he couldn't hold back his tears.
On the second day, the top and bottom of Heming Mountain are all vegetarian, and the white flags in the Heavenly Master's Mansion are numerous. Zhang Lu acted on behalf of the affairs of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and sent funeral stickers to the good martial arts families inside and outside the court and in the rivers and lakes.
This kind of thing happened just after the end of the spring ceremony, the day before the mountains were red and beaming, and the next day the mountains were full of white crying. All this is like a sarcasm, what is the ruthlessness of heaven, what is the three thousand avenues?
Zhang Lu knelt in the filial piety position of the Heavenly Master Hall, and every time a mourner came, Zhang Lu had to return the gift as a filial son.
The continuous busyness made Zhang Lu's eyes puffy, and at this time, an elder of the Heavenly Master Mansion wearing a white filial piety strip quickly came to Zhang Lu's side, lowered his body and said, "Elder Zhang Quan's body has been found."
Zhang Lu got up suddenly, but noticed that he was on top of the mourning hall and hurriedly knelt down, at this time he had already left his anger, who was it, not to mention that he killed his father and even killed his third uncle Zhang Quan, this is to cure the Heavenly Master's Mansion to death" found there? ”
"Under the cliff of Tianzhu Peak, Elder Zhang Quan seems to have been knocked down the cliff by someone in a fight."
Zhang Lu gritted his teeth, "Check it out for me, you must find out who did it"
"Yes," the elder seemed to remember something as he turned around, "By the way, the maid who served the Heavenly Master was also found, but she was also dead. ”
Zhang Lu punched the ground fiercely, the clues emerged one by one, and one by one were interrupted, powerlessness and unwillingness filled his whole body, and the condolences had to be postponed, and he was busy for a while Two coffins were placed on the Heavenly Master Hall, and two people died in one house, what a sad meaning.
"Lord Yizhou Mu Hejian worships!"
There was a shout from outside the hall, followed by Xin Jian, dressed in black, and walked quickly into the hall.
"Zhang Tianshi, you go and suddenly say that you will leave" Yin Jian wailed and wept at the same time, it was really painful for the listener, and the person who heard it cried, Yin Jian bowed three times to Zhang Heng's coffin, and Zhang Lu hurriedly returned the salute.
Yin Jian patted Zhang Lu's shoulder, and said with teary eyes, "Little Heavenly Master's Day is sad!" ”
After that, he wiped his tears and left the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Zhang Lu's face became ugly after he left, although he didn't care about the affairs of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he had heard more or less about the news of his father's disagreement with this Yizhou Mu, especially the actions of his staff.
Zhang Lu knew that Yin Jian was just pretending to be watching the jokes of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
After the spring ceremony, the twenty-four sacrificial wines were rushed back to the Zhidi, but they were not yet recovered by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, after all, the rights of these sacrificial wines were much greater than those of the elders.
"Bajun sacrificial wine Zhang Xiu worships!"
Zhang Xiu cried all the way into the Heavenly Master's Mansion, his expression was sincere, and he knelt in front of the mourning hall with a bang, and kowtowed, "Senior brother!" Brother! Why did you just leave like this! Zhang Xiu's forehead was faintly bloody, and he cried and kowtowed in front of the mourning hall regardless of it.
The deacon in the mourning hall hurriedly picked up Zhang Xiu, if Zhang Xiu was allowed to knock down like this, he would have to die of knocking.
After Zhang Lu finished answering the salute, Zhang Xiu cried and patted him on the shoulder, a handful of snot and tears, and the deacon helped Zhang Xiu out.
There is an endless stream of mourners, and according to the funeral regulations of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, the corpse needs to be parked for 7749 days before it can be buried.
Paper money falls like snow,
Fluttering sprinkled with sacrifices to the deceased
