Chapter 206: Each has a ghost

Yuan Bao sat on the dragon chair and listened to the singing singer performing a newly composed joke, which looked interesting, and Yuan Xin also seemed to enjoy this kind of life, beating along with the music, the Yuan family has been in a high position for hundreds of years as a ruler, this kind of life is their daily life, and everything is not more important than enjoying life.

"Do you think the two of them can be trusted?" Yuan Bao asked Yuan Xin, Yuan Xin was still immersed in the beautiful music, and before he could react, the chief eunuch on the side pushed him and said softly: "Lord, what did Your Majesty ask you?" Yuan Xin suddenly woke up and said, "Your Majesty, what did you just say?" Yuan Bao said angrily: "I mean what you said to Duguxin and Yang Zhong...... Yuan Xin hurriedly got up and said sloppily: "Your Majesty, the weather is good today." "Can this matter be said on such an occasion, the entire court is a secret agent of Yuwen Hu, let alone the palace at this moment.

Yuan Bao asked a little unclear: "Uncle Huang, what are you ...... What do you mean? Yuan Xin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'll talk about this later, there are many people at the moment, and it is inconvenient." Yuan Bao suddenly woke up and said: "Oh, I thought this was the inner dormitory." "This emperor is only shallow, but he is not a mediocre tyrant like Xiao Daoquan, he still has details and wants to work hard to recover the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he surpasses Xiao Daoquan in this regard.

But just now I also said that this person has no great ability, the so-called Zhi Dacai Shu is talking about people like him, and there is a saying that is more ugly, but the meaning is almost that there is not enough success and more than failure. But Yuan Baoli and Yuan Xin didn't realize this, they clearly knew their weaknesses and shortcomings, and they thought that at this moment, the loyal ministers in the court would have a chance to come over. At that point in time, everyone was riding a donkey looking for a horse, just trying to protect themselves, and wanted to pedal two boats. Who's true to whom? It's all a routine!

The first thing Wei Shouding did when he returned to Chang'an was to find a high-end kiln (similar to a private club like the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion), his preference for women was well known, and the mother in the kiln saw that Wei Gongzi, who had not been patronized for a long time, and immediately arranged the latest batch of girls for him, all of whom were still unpacked. Wei Shouding picked a girl who was only twelve years old, this little girl was very smart, and the corners of her eyes frequently showed a variety of amorous looks, which made Wei Shouding love her. After staying in the room, the girl took the initiative to ask for a kiss, and at first glance, she was trained to be very sophisticated.

After some clouds and rain, Wei Shou was determined to let her take off again, and the two rushed into the sky together in fierce hand-to-hand combat. Afterwards, the girl got up and got out of bed to pour him tea, such a caring little thing is naturally very cute, Wei Shouding asked very casually: "Where is your home?" What's your last name? The little girl smiled and said, "My surname is Wei, my mother died early, and she passed away without a name." According to my mother, I am from Chang'an. Wei Shouding said in his heart: "What about your father?" The girl lowered her head and said: "Before her death, my mother said that my father was a noble son of Chang'an, and I have been looking for him for many years, but I have not been able to find him." But I know that my mother used to be a cook in his house, and then he raped me before giving birth to me, and people will definitely not recognize me. ”

Wei Shouding was a little surprised in his heart, so he immediately asked, "Which mansion is your mother in Chang'an to be a cook?" The girl thought for a moment and said, "Well, I remember the house on the west side of Weijia Village in the south of the city." Wei Shouding was shocked into a cold sweat, this was his family's old mansion, which was later sold and moved to live in the city.

Wei Shouding was damaged by the women in the house when he was very young, and he was broken at the age of eleven or twelve, and when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, the maids up and down the house, as long as they looked a little bit good, were all defiled by him. He was also complacent about the self-styled general. It's because he has been in debt since he was a child, so many women hate him very much. There is no one in the entire Chang'an City who does not know his lustful virtues.

At this time, Wei Shouding asked in horror: "Does your mother have a birthmark on her left chest?" The girl was very surprised and asked, "How do you know, official?" Wei Shouding's face was already cold at this time, and he remembered that there was a cook who came to the house one year, because she looked very charming, Wei Shouding did it in the firewood room in the backyard to do this young woman who was a few years older than himself, at that time he was just playing casually, the woman left Wei Mansion not long after, how would he know that this woman would give birth to a girl for him, and he also made a fucking chicken!

The so-called karmic cycle of retribution is unpleasant, people who do too many things that lack virtue will be punished by God, Wei Shouding thinks that he is dashing and plays with a lot of women from good families, but he doesn't know that the gods and Buddhas have long been very dissatisfied with his extravagant life, so that his daughter has become a tool to vent his anger, and let him inadvertently incest his own daughter, Wei Shouding feels that this is God's retribution for him.

Lying on the pit as if centuries had passed, Wei Shouding suddenly woke up under the girl's soft call, at this time the girl's chest was half exposed, and her weak little hand slid in front of his chest, as if she was still going to cooperate with him. Wei Shouding felt sick to his stomach and said softly, "You lie down." The girl lay down obediently, as if waiting for something. Wei Shouding suddenly said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry for you, don't be a person in the next life." As he spoke, he picked up a pillow and put it on the girl's face.

The girl on the pit was naked, but her limbs were stiff and her hands and feet were cold, her eyes were rolling upward, her face was distorted, and her expression looked very hideous, Wei Shouding sat on the side in a daze, not because of murder, he was in a high position, and killing a prostitute was nothing to him. He was recalling how many crimes he had committed over the years, how many women had tarnished his innocence, and how many girls like her, thinking of this, Wei Shouding shuddered unconsciously, and there was a knife on his head, and this knife was cutting his internal organs and smashing his soul at the moment.

The bodyguard outside the door whispered at the window: "Childe, it's almost time to go back, the master is waiting at home in a hurry." Wei Shouding escaped from his terrifying memories at this time, he got up blankly, put on his clothes and pants, put on his hat and opened the door and said to the attendant: "Find a place to bury her, don't throw it in the mass grave, give it to her as much as the old bustard wants." "The first time the attendant saw him like this, he killed someone. This is a big hatred, but he didn't dare to ask more, just nodded honestly and said, "I know, you can leave it to me." ”

When he returned home, Wei Shouding fell seriously ill, his father was frightened, and invited the best doctors in Chang'an City to come to see the doctor, but no one knew what kind of disease he had, and his mother guarded him and wept all day long, holding him by the hand and praying for the blessing of the Buddha in heaven (Buddhism rose up many believers during that period). Wei Shouding was confused for a while and awake for a while, so he lay in bed like this for several days.

During this period, famous Taoist priests and mages from all walks of life came to his house to see, and his father was convinced of the statement that he brought back the lonely souls and wild ghosts from the middle of the river, and was worried about him, but also afraid that the evil ghosts would hurt the rest of the family, so he simply invited the Taoist priest to exorcise the ghosts, and the mage chanted the scriptures. The entire Wei Mansion was very lively, and even the entire Chang'an City was sensationalized, and the emperor Yuanbao sent Yuanxin to visit.

Although Wei Shouding is lustful, his political ability and his family background make this young man have a place in the Guanlong Group early, and he now controls the important land of Bashu in Sichuan, and his position in the new court is even more unshakable, such a person is not only the pillar of the Wei family, but also the mainstay of the Western Wei Dynasty.

Dunhuang County, the border of Guazhou, has been almost under the control of the central power, and the Taishou Town will be mostly local ethnic minorities, to the east are the two counties of Jiuquan and Zhangye in Liangzhou, and then to the east are the counties of Wuwei and Jincheng in Ganzhou. Since the Northern Wei Dynasty before the Western Wei Dynasty had lost control over the west of Liangzhou, the Yuwentai Group of the Western Wei Dynasty had to give up the territory west of Liangzhou on the basis of inheriting its Guanlong territory.

Although there was also an attempt to recapture Jiuquan, Zhangye and even Dunhuang were also planned, it is a pity that Yuwentai has not had time to deploy this strategy has passed away, and the current Guazhou Thorn Shi is still staying in Linsong County in Ganzhou, because Ma Furong, the Taishou of Zhangye County, did not let him go at all, not to mention Shaolong, who was self-respecting in Jiuquan, and Zhang Jun, the Taishou of Dunhuang where the Guazhou Prefecture and County Government are located, have long been closed and locked in the land and sealed as kings. In this regard, the central court was busy competing for territory with the Eastern Wei and Southern Liang and had no time to take care of itself, so it could only be a favor and privately admit their dominance.

The purpose of his trip was to go to Shanshan to meet the Turkic Tar Khan, because Hou Mo Chen Chong's order to him was to be sure to negotiate with the Tar Khan about the alliance, and he hoped that the Turks could support them with some bloody horses, which would help improve their own combat effectiveness.

Talhan also has his own ideas about Hou Mo Chen Chong, and he hopes that through this person, he can open up the checkpoints with Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei, Jincheng and other places, so as to control the Silk Road after the Yumen Pass, one is as mentioned above to obtain the greatest economic benefits, and one is that the high priest of the five gods he believes in asks him to find a long-lost ancient magic book in the above places: the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Everyone is afraid to laugh, what is there in this Classic of Mountains and Seas, but in the eyes of our Han people, the plain and innocent Classic of Mountains and Seas is the source of worship, the core of faith, and the source of magic in the eyes of those people in the Western Regions. Someone said, then you can go to the Central Plains and buy a copy casually? Big brother, the Declaration of Independence of the United States is also bought on the streets, but can things be the same? Can the original and later engravings be the same? The people of Tarhan are looking for the most primitive manuscript of the Book of Mountains and Seas.

In short, Tarhan did indeed want to control the Silk Road just for money, as Ashina Tumen said. Wutong God in the northern steppe is similar to a branch of the cult, advocating the use of living people and livestock to sacrifice to the gods, they believe that the gods will like living creatures, convenient for the caster to improve their mana, because of the indiscriminate killing of innocents and rejected by the steppe people, listed as a forbidden religion, why Tar Khan would enshrine such an evil god, all this has to start from his youth.

Tarhan was originally the prince of the Elite Kingdom, his father died in the country's civil strife, his mother was also raped and killed by invaders, his brother was thrown into the desert with his legs cut off, he was rescued by his retainers because of his young age and sent to the Tiele tribe at the foot of the Golden Mountain, and later the Ashina family annexed the Tiele tribe and unified the Turks, so he followed the father of the Golden Horde to fight everywhere.

At the age of sixteen, he found some mysterious totems at the site of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and many nearby residents and cattle and sheep disappeared inexplicably, so as a guardian, he dared to investigate these bizarre cases, but as the truth was gradually revealed, she found herself introduced to a mysterious religious group: Wutong God. Among them, their high priest showed him the power of the five gods: they can resurrect the dead and turn them into living zombies, and the most powerful thing is that such living dead are not afraid of swords, guns and axes, and they are very crazy.

If Tarhan wants to find the murderers of his father, he must use a strong samurai army, and he wonders if he can learn such powerful magic if he can join the Five Paths, but unfortunately, after the young Tarhan signed a life and death pact with the high priest, he found out that this spell is suicide magic at the cost of his own life, which is equivalent to learning in vain for him.

However, the Wutong God is not his own back garden, not a place where he can come and go whenever he wants, and Tarhan has no choice but to continue to serve the Wutong God Cult under the threat and lure of the high priest. Fortunately, Talhan learned from the High Priest a magic that could obtain powerful mana without costing his own life: Bloodlust. An ancient sorcery similar to the Witch Totem.

The caster can gain great power by consuming the life of the caster, such as turning stones into gold, turning nothing into nothing, and the most amazing thing about this spell is that it can treat disabled or incurable diseases for the disabled, and even extend the life of the short-lived person. Of course, such spells come at the cost of consuming the lives of others elsewhere. (To be continued.) )
