Princess Tai'an died on the night of the candle in the cave room, and this matter cannot be hidden.

Qin Zheng never thought of hiding it.

Early the next morning, he wore dirty mourning clothes and went directly to the Qian'an Palace with the testimony that Princess Tai'an had pressed a bloody handprint before her death.

The emperor was sick, and he had to struggle to get up, and when he learned of the death of Princess Tai'an, he was so angry that he almost fainted: "How dare you!" ”

Most of the people in front of him were covered in blood, and most of them belonged to his daughter!

Qin Zheng raised his eyes, presented his testimony, and said indifferently: "Princess Tai'an colluded with the Red Lotus Sect, killed innocents indiscriminately, and murdered my wife's life. Weichen is just letting her fight with her life now, why don't you dare? ”

The eldest prince accompanied him, took the testimony in his hand, and echoed: "Father, Bihua really killed Mrs. Qin, and the perpetrator was a member of the Red Lotus Sect - she was assigned. ”

The last four words are somewhat meaningful.

The emperor was stunned suddenly, but when his eyes fell on Qin Zheng, he was a little more angry: "Even if she is really guilty, it should be me who deals with her, she is a royal person in the end, what qualifications do you have!" ”

"Can a member of the royal family take care of people's lives? Dragons and phoenixes, can they kill innocents indiscriminately? ”

Qin Zheng looked up at him, his eyes were fearless and fearless, and asked: "The emperor is wise and wise, and he has always loved the world. The princess is your heir, and the people are not your people? ”

As soon as these words came out, the choked emperor was speechless.

Over the years, he has always regarded Qin Zheng as the best knife in his hand, but now, this knife will also turn his head and stab himself.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "She resisted her life with her life, what about you, what crime should you be guilty of killing her?!" ”

Qin Zheng kowtowed and said indifferently: "The minister pleaded guilty." ”

In his life, he has nothing to love in life and nothing to fear in death, and now Gu Jiu's revenge has been avenged, and it is his luck to follow her under Jiuquan.

Qin Zheng didn't eat oil and salt like this, but it made the emperor angry.

However, he wanted to be punished, but someone stood up first to protect him: "Father, the Red Lotus Sect is hard to write, and Bihua, as a princess, still colludes with the Red Lotus Sect, and her crime is intolerable." In addition, Lord Qin is the secretary of Dali Temple, and it is also his duty to punish the remnants of the Red Lotus Sect. The son dared to ask his father to forgive him this time. ”

The emperor naturally refused, but the only thing he can rely on now is the eldest prince, and the other party's face must be given.

Even if this man is his son.

The emperor coughed violently for a while before he said, "Escort Qin Zheng to the heavenly prison and wait for the interrogation of the three divisions." Everything is handled by the laws of the country. ”

But Qin Zheng did not wait for the national law to deal with him.

That night, the emperor's condition became more and more serious.

The courtiers got the hint of the eldest prince, so Qin Zheng was in the prison, and he just changed places to sleep.

After a month, the emperor collapsed.

……

The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, Qin Zheng, as the first batch of people to be pardoned, was not reinstated, but was transferred to the military department.

As far as Qin Zheng is concerned, this Xichu has changed to an emperor, and his situation has not changed much.

The old emperor used him as a knife to let him get rid of the uneasy factors around him.

And the new emperor also used him as a knife, but he wanted him to subdue the army and guard Western Chu.

In the next few years, he was transferred from Beijing to the local government, fought in the south and the north, and settled everything for the new emperor.

Those princes who wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's hasty ascension to the throne wanted to take advantage of it, but instead of asking for a little cheapness, they were properly cleaned up by Qin Zheng.

The new emperor was very satisfied with this, and the power in Qin Zheng's hands became a little bigger than before.

Qin Zheng didn't care about this, the power in his hands was just a place to sleep at night.

In recent years, not only Western Chu has been turbulent, but even North Vietnam has undergone several changes.

Especially after the death of the eldest princess in power in North Vietnam last year, North Vietnam has become more and more rampant.

The new emperor is a bastard, and he has repeatedly spouted wild words to bring all Xichu into his hands.

Under the harassment of North Vietnam several times, Xichu naturally refused to let them go, but the veteran of the previous border pass was already old, so after discussing with the courtiers, Qin Zheng was transferred to the border pass again.

With him at the head, it is imperative that he defeat North Vietnam.

From the humid south to the border to eat sand, he is not uncomfortable at all.

He really did not disappoint the emperor, not only thwarted the spirit of North Vietnam, but also single-handedly lured the enemy into the last battle with North Vietnam, risking his own life, and finally imprisoned a city in North Vietnam.

It's just that Qin Zheng didn't expect that he would hear such a news.

The North Vietnamese border pass is windy and sandy, and after passing the Baiyu Pass, it is an endless expanse.

In such a city, there are also many strange things buried.

Such as......

Back.

It is rumored that the national teacher who has always been worshiped in North Vietnam has a secret method, which can live the flesh and bones of the dead, promote life, and even summon the dead to return to the sun.

Qin Zheng doesn't care about the others, but the last one ......

"When I gave a war letter to North Vietnam, I said that I would exchange the people of a city for the national division of North Vietnam. Ask him if he dares or not. ”

Qin Zheng's decision, the lieutenant generals were a little hesitant, but they said to the other party: "If the emperor asks, he will bear the responsibility with all his might." After that, I didn't dare to say more.

After they left, Su Chen stayed.

"Master, don't be impulsive, this rumor can't be believed."

He has been by Qin Zheng's side in the past few years, but he only feels that although the position of his master is getting higher and higher, his heart is also becoming more and more cold.

In the early years of Dali Temple, he still had the warmth of the world, but now, like a walking corpse, only the cold and cold are left.

He knew why this was, and he knew what the reason for Qin Zheng to seal the demon after hearing this rumor.

But as a bystander, he had to be persuaded.

Qin Zheng only glanced at him, and said indifferently: "I haven't tried it, how can I know if it's true or not?" ”

In this world, in addition to Miao Jiang, the most evil secret method is Beiyue.

Earlier, they had suffered under these secret methods, but did they know that this rumor was not true?

Not to mention......

"Xiao Jingchen, the national teacher of North Vietnam, you should know his background, right?"

Hearing Qin Zheng's inquiry, Su Chen nodded and said, "My subordinates know something, it is said that he was born as a Buddha, raised by the former national teacher, and became famous all over the world when he was young. Later, he assisted two generations of emperors, and a year ago, he single-handedly planned to kill the eldest princess who tried to usurp the throne. Speaking of which, this is also a character, the eldest princess has been in power for ten years, and she has not succeeded in killing this little nephew, and he is the biggest hero. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that the current little emperor of North Vietnam would have died a long time ago, and where would there be a stable throne today. ”

Speaking of this, he said cautiously: "But according to the feelings of his subordinates about him, this national teacher is not like a Buddhist family, but like a natural schemer. Isn't it a bit unreliable that you are betting on him? ”

Hearing this, Qin Zheng shook his head slightly.

Even if there was a 1 in 10,000 chance, he would give it a try.

Seeing Qin Zheng's appearance, Su Chen knew that it was useless to say more.

He sighed, and said respectfully: "Subordinate arrangement." ”

Half a month later, the North Vietnamese national teacher did not come, but the letter came with the envoys: "Don't be rash. ”

Only four words, but Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

What is unattainable is delusion.

For example, wishful thinking.

He never said what he wanted, but this national teacher replied with such a letter.

If it weren't for the traitors in the army, it would be because this national teacher had some real skills.

He crumpled the letter in his hand into a paper ball, took a pen and wrote a reply, and handed it to the envoy of North Vietnam: "Send this letter to your emperor, and say—if the general can't ask for it, then let the people of this city be buried with him." ”

The last two words, he said very lightly, but the envoy suddenly turned white.

In the past two years, Qin Zheng's bravery has spread throughout North Vietnam, and even the national teacher once asserted that there is such a strong general in Western Chu, and North Vietnam must not be reckless.

However, the new emperor is in power, but he no longer respects the national teacher in everything, he is stubborn and self-serving, nepotism, and now, not only in the court, but also in the army.

I don't know what this Rakshasa king is asking for, but he actually uses the people of this city as collateral!

After the envoy left, Su Chen asked the lieutenant generals to leave first, and he stayed: "Master, will they really obey your persecution?" ”

What if North Vietnam refuses?

After all, looking at the meaning of this national teacher, it is obvious that he does not plan to help Qin Zheng.

Hearing this, Qin Zheng lowered his eyes and smiled coldly: "Then let the people of this city be buried together." If one city is not enough, there is still a kingdom. ”

His appearance made Su Chen shudder.

The appearance of the adult is like a ghost in hell who sees the light, but he can't touch the light, so he can only turn the world into hell, trying to stack these unjust souls and build a ladder to the light.

He really felt that Qin Zheng was crazy.

……

"Is he crazy?!"

When the Emperor of Beiyue saw the threatening letter, he was so angry that he swept the things on the table to the ground, and said: "How can this be true, but a great commander of Western Chu dares to shout to me-what about the national teacher, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

The Emperor of Beiyue's name is Zhao Qinian, about twenty years old, born delicate, a pair of eyes full of anger, if you look carefully, you can also see the faint uneasiness mixed within.

The chamberlain had long been surprised by his appearance, and when he heard the kind words he was busy with, he comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slave has already been invited, and the national teacher is on his way at this time." ”

Before the words fell, I heard footsteps outside the hall, and then a man stepped forward: "The poor monk has seen Your Majesty." ”

The man was dressed in a monk's robe, his eyebrows and eyes were calm, and he entered the door with his hands folded and performed a Buddhist ceremony.

The person who came was none other than the Beiyue National Teacher, Xiao Jingchen.

Seeing him coming, the anger in Zhao Qinian's eyes was swept away, and he hurriedly got off the royal platform, and said with a smile: "The national teacher, please hurry up, I invite you to come for the sake of Xichu - you see." ”

As he spoke, he handed over Qin Zheng's letter, and gritted his teeth again: "Xi Chu doesn't know if he is crazy, he actually let such a madman be the commander, his letter said that if you can't agree to his request, you will kill the people of a city!" National teacher, what does he want you to do? ”

When asking the national teacher, Zhao Qinian's eyes were a little more probing.

Could it be that this Qin Zheng had reached any agreement with the national teacher when he didn't know?

The suspicion in his eyes did not escape Xiao Jingchen's eyes.

Xiao Jingchen took a step back quietly, and immediately took the letter, but after reading the above content, he frowned.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the poor monk is unwilling to respond to him, it's really ...... What this person wants, the poor monk can't do. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qinian's expression suddenly became a little more ugly, and he asked: "What can make the national teacher so embarrassed?" ”

When he said this, Fu felt that his attitude was a little inappropriate, so he coughed and said, "What I mean is that the national teacher can tell me, and we can find a way together." After all, that's the people of our North Vietnamese. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchen lowered his eyes and said after a long time: "He wants to save someone." ”

"Saving people?" Let's read the book

Zhao Qinian was stunned, and then heard Xiao Jingchen say again: "A dead man." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Qinian subconsciously said: "Isn't this ridiculous? How can the dead be resurrected......"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he suddenly lost his voice again.

After a long time, I heard Zhao Qinian's hoarse voice say: "I remember, my little aunt once said that there is a way in this world to bring people back to life, right?" ”

After that fire, Qiwu Palace was put in formation, and he still couldn't sleep well, for this reason.

Even though Xiao Jingchen has said countless times that there is no way to bring people back to life in this world, he still refuses to believe it.

Now the first reaction is to suspect Xiao Jingchen.

A faint disappointment flashed in Xiao Jingchen's eyes, and he immediately said softly: "Your Majesty should still remember what the poor monk said, it is a lie to come back to life, unless Da Luo Jinxian is alive, it is absolutely impossible." ”

"However, it will not be groundless."

Also, how could Qin Zheng know about the secret art of North Vietnam?

Seeing the vigilant expression of the emperor in front of him, Xiao Jingchen pinched the hand of the Buddha bead and paused slightly.

Zhao Qinian had been with him for too long, and when he saw him like this, he suddenly grabbed his hand and asked in a deep voice: "National teacher, you really have a way, right?" ”

The suspicion in his eyes was too heavy, and Xiao Jingchen said for a long time: "Yes." However, this is a forbidden technique, and going against the sky will shake the national fortunes of North Vietnam. Your Majesty, do you want this? ”

……

Three days later, Xiao Jingchen went to see Qin Zheng.

The emperor's words are still in my ears that day: "The national fortunes of my North Vietnam are about to be shaken now, if the people of that city die, what does the national teacher think, what will the courtiers think of me, and how will the people think of me!" Besides, the Baiyu Pass has been broken, so Qin Zheng is a madman, what if he calls? ”

The panic and fear in his eyes, Xiao Jingchen saw clearly.

In the hurry of the carriage, he meditated on the mat, but his eyes were stained with earthly thoughts.

The wind swept and yellow sand fell on the windows.

Xiao Jingchen closed his eyes, but a delicate face suddenly flashed.

Day......

He may have been wrong.

When he saw Qin Zheng, Xiao Jingchen's expression was very calm: "The poor monk can fulfill your wishes, but there are some words that need to be told to you in advance - there is indeed a secret method in the ancient books of Beiyue, but it is not to bring the dead back to life, but to ...... Reinventing reincarnation. ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Zheng frowned slightly: "What is reincarnation?" ”

Xiao Jingchen pinched a piece of grass from the ground, handed it to him, and said, "For example, this grass, as far as you are concerned, it has already died. But as far as it is concerned, the roots are still there, and next year today, it will be another reincarnation. ”

This secret method allows her to go back to the past and live again. It's just that you can't see it. ”

Qin Zheng reacted to his words for a long time, squinted his eyes and asked, "How can I believe you?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingchen stared at him and said, "The donor already believes in the poor monk, doesn't he?" ”

Otherwise, there would not have been such a big battle, just to let him come.

This man has a pair of good-looking eyebrows and eyes, with dark ink pupils and a convincing expression.

Qin Zheng held the hilt of the sword vigilantly, and said in a deep voice: "I, a person, have never believed in anything, but you are a monk and a national teacher of Beiyue. So I believe you once, the premise is that you swear by the national fortune of North Vietnam, and there is no falsehood in every word, otherwise, after this generation of kings, the world will change hands, and there will be no North Vietnam. ”

The national teacher of Beiyue has been used by emperors in successive dynasties, and Xiao Jingchen has assisted two generations of emperors.

This oath is tantamount to putting a knife around his neck and forcing him to kill himself.

But his expression did not change, and he folded his hands: "The poor monk can swear this, but there is one thing that must be explained." This secret method is to go against the sky, exchange your life expectancy for her rebirth, but you will have a short life, and you will not die well. Donor, all delusion has retribution, are you sure that you are willing to suffer the consequences? ”

Die with his short life, in exchange for an answer that cannot be seen.

If it is an ordinary person, it is natural that he will not do it.

But Qin Zheng agreed simply: "Yes." ”

……

When Xiao Jingchen did it, the sky and the earth were dark, and the yellow sand was all over the sky.

Qin Zheng was in the array, using blood as a guide to see the light of day again.

In a trance, he seemed to hear a terrible cry.

The woman whimpered miserably, which made Qin Zheng's heart suddenly pinch up.

He clearly couldn't see anything, but he had a keen intuition.

It's her.

"Ah...... Nine? ”

That name had been pronounced in his heart countless times, but now that there was no one in front of him, he felt that the name was particularly difficult to call.

"She's there for you."

Xiao Jingchen suddenly spoke, his voice indifferent: "She said that she has been following you all these years." ”

Ordinary people can't see ghosts and gods, but on the paper talismans on the ground, there are blood and tears condensed.

Qin Zheng, who had been cut dozens of times on his body, did not frown, but when he heard this, he suddenly panicked: "She...... Over here? ”

Xiao Jingchen nodded.

He is also an ordinary man, even if he uses this formation, he can't see it.

But he could feel it.

Qin Zheng only then remembered one thing: "She...... If you go back in time, will you still remember all this? ”

"Yes."

Xiao Jingchen's answer made Qin Zheng's expression pale, his voice was hoarse, and he said almost resolutely: "Is there a way to make her forget?" ”

He had been like a madman all these years, with blood on his hands and in hell.

She doesn't have to remember it.

Xiao Jingchen glanced at him deeply, and at the end, he only said: "The poor monk does his best." ”

……

Ninety-nine return to one, cross the soul, lead the sufferer, dust to dust, earth to earth.

But against the destiny of heaven, the seeds under the dust are planted, and they will bloom or decline one day.

Who knows?

Seven days later, when Xiao Jingchen came out of this formation, although he was still wearing a monk's robe, he was embarrassed, and his eyebrows and eyes were withered.

And Qin Zheng ......

He looked like a skeleton.

Since then, Qin Zheng has had an extra purse close to his heart.

There was a piece of talisman paper with a faint tear of blood on it.

And a blood-stained sentence.

When the formation was completed, Xiao Jingchen handed it over to him.

And Qin Zheng recognized Gu Jiu's handwriting with just one glance.

That was his Ah Jiu, the last word left for him.

Life and death must not be the same as you.

……

After doing so, Xiao Jingchen was carried back to Shuo'an City.

He was so sick that he couldn't get up for a year.

And Qin Zheng felt the weakness of his body.

It was like the weakness of the three souls and seven spirits being separated, so that he couldn't even lift the long sword.

He changed from a military general to a civilian official, and a year later, he couldn't hold on and resigned from the court.

The emperor originally wanted to keep it, but looking at the frost and snow on the heads of the courtiers in front of him, those words of retention could not be said in the end.

He was thirty-five years old that year.

Qin Zheng did not survive the winter of forty years old.

From five years onwards, after he resigned, he dismissed the servants and guards around him and traveled all over Xichu alone.

Everywhere he went, he would take out the purse he had placed in his heart and pour two glasses of wine.

One cup into his belly, one cup into the dust.

In the purse, in addition to the paper note condensed with blood and tears, there was also hair that was tied into concentric knots.

On the wedding day, when he cut off the hair of his husband and wife with an expressionless face and tied them together, Qin Zheng didn't think that for the rest of his life, all he could hold was this strand of hair.

Ah Jiu wrote in blood and tears that life and death must not be the same as you, and he wanted her to know that he would take her with him regardless of life or death.

Even if......

All he had was this strand of hair.

Knot concentric.

When the first snow fell in winter, Qin Zheng returned to Shangjing and opened his grave.

The mausoleum was repaired by him a long time ago, and the tomb was not large, and people needed to bend down when they walked in.

And there is a mechanism left in the tomb, and after he enters, it will be blocked, and if a tomb robber breaks it, it will collapse in an instant.

The smell in the tomb was unpleasant, but Qin Zheng didn't realize it, and he even had a leisurely smile on his face.

It's like going to a meeting, an appointment that should have come a long time ago.

The coffin was opened, and Qin Zheng calmly lay in.

On the side was a skeleton that had long been unable to see clearly, and Qin Zheng carefully hugged his lover, showing a satisfied smile.

Then, the coffin was closed.

It also completely isolates the last breath of air.

Six years ago, Xiao Jingchen told him that if he wanted to change his life against the sky, he would have a short life.

And six years later, Qin Zheng really fulfilled that oath and stuffed himself in the coffin.

Suffocation to death, not good death.
