Empress Wu asked Di Renjie for advice on Shangguan Wan'er's marriage, Di Renjie was in front of Shangguan Wan'er, and it was difficult to express his position, so he compromised and said: "It may not be General Pei Baohu, if Shangguan girl has her own wishes in her heart, no matter who he is, Your Majesty's love and mercy can finally be realized." ”

When the empress heard Di Renjie say this, she turned to Shangguan Wan'er on her side, and asked Wen Yan: "Di Qing is right, Wan'er, you tell Lone, do you have a mind in mind, no matter who he is, Lone depends on you, how about it?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er still knelt on her knees, her tears were hazy, the pear blossoms brought rain, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty, Wan'er has no intention of anyone in her heart, Wan'er has no father or mother, it is Your Majesty that you raised Wan'er and regarded her as a child, and only by serving you forever can Wan'er repay Your Majesty's kindness." ”

Seeing this, the empress slowly got up, helped Wan'er up, and said angrily: "You child, why are you so stubborn, lonely with you, just like a mother and daughter, how can there be a reason for a mother not to marry a daughter for the rest of her life." ”

The empress saw that Shangguan Wan'er was still in tears, and hurriedly said: "Okay, this matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will talk about it later, don't shed any more tears, and accompany Gu to the back garden for a walk." ”

When Shangguan Wan'er heard this, she wiped away the tears like pear blossoms with Sijuan.

A crescent moon was set on the ink-colored firmament scroll, and a faint silver glow poured down in front of the gloomy wooden case of Jin Sinan through the mouth of the rain channel.

Gently swiped the glaze cracked lid, Zhong Kui took a sip of Qingyin tea, and the tea fragrance was drunk and soaked into the heart and spleen. And a giant rat sitting on the side of the stepping bed, gnawing on a green leaf, witnessed every subtle movement of the owner in front of him.

Suddenly, the stone gate roared not far away. The cup suddenly stood still in the air, and Zhong Kui suddenly realized that someone had trespassed into the forbidden place under the city, and the cornerstone of Chang'an City, which he guarded day and night, was also the source of the energy crystal of the Ark of Tomorrow.

Zhong Kui quickly put down the teacup and turned to look at the last stone gate in front of him. The faintly fluorescent stone in the corner of the wall behind him is the cornerstone of Chang'an, which has been preserved in ancient times, is unpredictable, and is remembered by countless people with ill intentions.

Due to the long time ago, Zhong Kui could no longer remember how many times he had been broken into the forbidden place by all kinds of people. But on the intruder's body, there is one thing that is the same, that is, all of them were thrown out of the stone gate by Zhong Kui.

Not long ago, Master Mozi handed over the Book of Heaven to Zhong Kui for safekeeping. Zhong Kui's rigor and prudence are very strong with each passing day. Many people are curious about how long Zhong Kui has been guarding the cornerstone, as if he has become a guardian since he first heard about it from his grandfather. What is even more unpredictable is why so many people have broken into the forbidden land, and why no one has ever succeeded. Zhong Kui Mo is not the embodiment of death, or has obtained the mysterious power in the cornerstone, and various speculations are endless.

Zhong Kui's face was indifferent, his hands were intertwined, and his back was behind his back, as if waiting for the intruder.

The last stone door was finally opened with a bang. Whenever the last stone door is opened, the spotted rat hides under the bed with interest, and is out of sight and out of mind for the next fight or duel. Zhong Kui saw a man wrapped in a night robe and a black cloth standing in front of him.

Zhong Kui, who was calm and composed, said lightly in a muddy and vicissitudes of life: "If you don't want to be thrown out, get back to me immediately." ”

The man in black did not open his mouth to respond to Zhong Kui's cold and angry anger, as if he was afraid of being recognized.

I saw him, took out a large number of black and white chess pieces from the black bag on his waist, and threw them everywhere around Zhong Kui in an instant.

When I saw him again, I flicked the two fingers of my right hand, and with a flick of it in the air, a faint blue flame rose to the tip of my finger. The man in black threw the flames to the ground slightly, and every two black and white chess pieces quickly approached each other, and suddenly produced a treacherous blue lightning bolt, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

Zhong Kui was overwhelmed by the blue lightning that filled the room in the blink of an eye, and when everything returned to silence, Zhong Kui was still there, and the clothes on his body were not burned out of a single crack.

I saw the man in black, his eyes were slightly bright, and he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Just as he was about to turn around and leave this strange place, he felt a sudden storm behind him, rushing towards his back, and just like that, the man in black was carried by this inexplicable and strange tornado and thrown outside the outermost stone gate. When the man in black was carried by the wind, he couldn't move, and when he landed, he broke two ribs.

The man in black gritted his teeth and left in pain, Zhong Kui closed his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, all the stone doors were suddenly resealed.

The wind that swept the man in black into the air was spit out from Zhong Kui's mouth, and when the wind speed was the most powerful, it could instantly roll a hundred catties of boulders into pieces, not to mention people, and even demons. It can be seen that Zhong Kui is, to a certain extent, the incarnation of death.

At the beginning, Zhong Kui studied at Jixia College. One day, he ran into two bandits trying to plot against a woman, Zhong Kui stepped forward, but was beaten and beaten by the thieves, Zhong Kui's mouth was full of blood, and all the stolen goods were torn apart. Fortunately, he was discovered by his senior brother Lian Po in time, drove away the thugs, and carried Zhong Kui to the academy.

Seeing this, if the three great masters did not take decisive measures, Zhong Kui, who was full of courage and gallbladder, would die.

Master Mozi didn't have time to explain to others, so he decisively kicked everyone out of the room.

When the bright moon was rising, Zhong Kui actually stood and walked out with Master Mozi. Only then did Master Mozi tell everyone about using the only method in the Book of Heaven to treat Zhong Kui. But the only drawback is that Zhong Kui will never see the sun again, and his skin and bones will be burned until they turn into ashes. This also means that Zhong Kui can only travel at night from now on.

When the man in black endured the severe pain and returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, Ming Shiyin immediately gave him a bone regardless of the shock, and bandaged him with the secret method of the Western Regions.

Ming Shiyin seemed to have an apologetic tone, and said: "Xing'er, as a teacher, you really shouldn't let you touch the bad luck of Old Ghost Zhong, otherwise you won't be hurt so badly." ”

After drinking the medicine, Yi Xing, whose labor pain was relieved, said: "Master, this is not your fault, the apprentice had the heart to go, besides, for the sake of our great cause, this injury is nothing!" ”

Ming Shiyin stroked his white beard lightly and said slowly: "Fortunately, the old ghost didn't make a heavy hand, otherwise you and I would only be separated by yin and yang." But don't worry, the teacher will definitely let out this bad breath for you. ”

Yi Xing said: "Master, what is the origin of that Zhong Kui, his hands can dance and make shadows, and his body is as strong as Donkey Kong." ”

Ming Shiyin said: "As a teacher, I only know that he is the apprentice of Master Mozi of Jixia Academy, and as for where his ability comes from, I don't know as a teacher." ”
