Chapter 24: The Battle of Yin and Yang

The queen was deposed and committed suicide, and the world was in turmoil. The queen's mother, Jiang Hengchu, the marquis of Dongbo, was furious and brought people into the court to ask for the crime. According to the old system of princes, no more than 100 servants can be brought into the king, otherwise they will be plotted against each other. Jiang Hengchu took his cronies to escort ninety people and went to Chaoge. He heard that Di Xin had obtained a demon girl, and that his daughter's deposed had a lot to do with this demon girl. He wants to ask Di Xin to kill the demon girl, avenge his daughter, and calm the anger of the world.

Before leaving, he received a flying pigeon biography from Xibohou Jichang. Ji Chang bitterly persuaded him not to enter the court song: "After the abolition of the Son of Heaven, he has lost his nature, don't take unnecessary risks." He wrote back: "It's not that your daughter is dead, of course you can calm down." If you still remember the love of studying and fighting together, you should go with me to the court song and support me. ”

Nanbohou E Chongyu has always been a taciturn person, and he also has the best relationship with Jiang Hengchu, and his letter is very brief: "I am waiting for you in Chaoge." ”

Beibohou Chonghouhu's reply was more complicated: "It is not recommended that you go. But if you must go, I will go, and hopefully I can save your life. ”

Although the letters from the three brothers are so unoptimistic, Jiang Hengchu still believes that Di Xin was confused for a while, when Di Xin followed his father to fight in the east and west, the four of them taught him a lot of things, he has always respected the four of them, and after marrying his daughter, he has always been very affectionate. Although there were rumors that his daughter was not necessarily suicidal, he did not believe it. How can a person suddenly become unrecognizable?

Chaoge was approaching, Jiang Hengchu looked at Chaoge City, and unexpectedly found that there seemed to be a dark cloud in the sky above Chaoge. When I walked to the city gate, I found that there was a flock of blackbirds. Jiang Hengchu thought secretly in his heart: "The black bird has the ability of a prophet, reporting good news and mourning, it is difficult to say good luck." It's just that so many blackbirds gather here, but it's rare. ”

Before entering the city, an old man blocked his way outside the city gates. The old man was wearing a backpack, riding a thin horse, looking like he was going to travel far away, and stopped in front of the queue: "Is it Dong Bohou's car?"

Jiang Hengchu asked the guards to get out of the way and bowed to the old man: "I am Jiang Hengchu." What does the old man say?"

The old man smiled slightly: "Dong Bohou, I have an old friend with your father, and I can't bear to see you in danger." You can't enter the song city. ”

Jiang Hengchu hurriedly got out of the car and gave a gift: "It turned out to be a friend of my father, and I gave a gift." My father-in-law's surname is a big name, why do you say that I am in danger. ”

The old man nodded: "Corporal Lixian, you really have your father's demeanor." Let me tell you, Di Xin is no longer the Di Xin of the past. It was here that I saw with my own eyes that the enchantress had bewitched a young man, causing him to die at the hands of a gun. On the day of your daughter's death, the blackbird will cover the city of songs, just as it is today. You will die and live. ”

Jiang Hengchu thought for a while: "Di Xin is the Son of Heaven, I am a prince, the Son of Heaven has made mistakes, I avoid it, and I am a minister in vain; Although the blackbird swarm is weird, there is no ancient book that says that it is a bad omen. ”

The old man sighed: "If your life is like this, I can only talk about my heart." In that case, you remember my words, you don't understand the signs of the blackbird, and you don't understand why Di Xin changed, because you are not talented enough, and your father did not pass on the soul hunting technique to you. Because of this, Di Xin doesn't necessarily have to kill you. But you have to remember that no matter how much Daji provokes, you must not say anything rebellious, or you will surely die. At this time, there was already a panic in Chaoge City, and I had to go away to avoid trouble. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he rode away, Jiang Hengchu was stunned for a while, and shouted loudly: "The old man's surname is the big name?"

The old man said from afar: "Jiang Shang." If you are lucky enough to survive, you can come to Weishui for a while. “

The entry into the city went smoothly, and the guards guarding the city respected Dong Bohou very much, and let his servants stay in the forbidden military camp outside the city to rest, and escorted him into the palace to see Di Xin. The other three marquis arrived earlier than him and were already waiting for him in the main hall.

Except for the four of them, the rest of the palace guards in the main hall were all palace guards. Underneath the main hall, there is a bronze pillar that stands out. The copper pillar is thick and can be embraced, with chains on it and iron rings below, so I don't know what it is for. The other three marquis looked at him with different expressions. Xibohou Ji Chang's face was calm and worried, and there seemed to be a warning in his eyes when he looked at him; Beibohou Chonghou Hu did not look at him, but looked at Ji Chang; Nanbohou Echongyu only looked up at him, and then lowered his head and stopped looking at him.

Emperor Xin sat high on the main hall, and behind the throne was a thin veil, which was also not available before. There is a faint figure behind the tulle, but it is not clear. Jiang Hengchu took a deep breath and was about to continue walking up, when suddenly his heart shook violently, he looked at Di Xin sitting in the main hall, and suddenly had an extremely terrifying feeling, but this is not the most terrifying, behind the tulle, it is the most terrifying thing. A thought suddenly occurred in his heart, and even he didn't know how it came about.

Don't say anything, kowtow and apologize, and leave as soon as possible!

Say nothing, kowtow and apologize, and leave as soon as possible!!

Say nothing, kowtow and apologize, and leave as soon as possible!!!!!

The power of this thought was so strong, Jiang Hengchu couldn't help but follow it. He trembled and took half a step forward, his knees limp, and he hesitated to kneel.

At this time, a gust of wind that didn't know where it came from blew the tulle, and in an instant, Jiang Hengchu saw the person behind the tulle.

What a beautiful woman is that? There is such a beauty in the world, but when he saw this woman, Jiang Hengchu's heart suddenly rose with uncontrollable anger! It was she who let her daughter be deposed, and he would never believe that his daughter would do anything to kill the palace maid and roar at the Son of Heaven, these were all carefully fabricated charges!

This anger was so strong that the power that originally controlled his mind could no longer be controlled, as if he had suddenly broken free from some restraints, the original idea of leaving as soon as possible after kowtowing and apologizing disappeared suddenly, Jiang Hengchu was shocked, what was wrong with him? How could he have such a cowardly and shameful thought?

E Chongyu's whole body was shocked, his footsteps took half a step back, and Di Xin's eyes were like electricity, sweeping towards E Chongyu. E Chongyu shook his sleeves and raised his head to look at Di Xin, with sadness and tranquility in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Xi Bohou and Bei Bohou breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if something pressing on their bodies had been removed. Bei Bohou stared at Xi Bohou, but Xi Bohou just lowered his head and coughed, looking old and frail and unable to support it. Among the four marquis, Xibohou Ji Chang is the oldest, and it is normal for him to behave like this. But Chonghou Hu still stared at him.

The conversation between Di Xin and Jiang Hengchu did not last long, Di Xin came up and asked Jiang Hengchu if he was guilty, and Jiang Hengchu not only did not apologize on behalf of his daughter, but bluntly asked Di Xin to execute the demon girl Daji to comfort the hearts of the world.

Di Xin said coldly: "The queen is my abolition, and if you want to ask about the crime, you will also ask me." These words forced Jiang Hengchu to the point of Jedi, he was already asking for the guilt, if he directly turned the spearhead to Di Xin, then no matter what, it would be difficult to escape the death penalty; if he kept silent, he also had a grudge, he could also be executed, the only way to survive was to kneel on the ground to apologize and admit that it was his daughter who was wrong.

Jiang Hengchu's mind turned a few times in an instant, stood up proudly, and pointed to the thin veil behind Di Xin: "The minister is not guilty, and the courtier's daughter is not guilty." The Son of Heaven was so heroic back then, but now he is bewitched by this demon girl and loses his nature. The ministers entered the Song City, and the soldiers in the city came out in all directions, arresting the civilians and scholars for innocent crimes. People's hearts are panicking, and the blackbird covers the sky, isn't this the wrath of the heavens?"

Di Xin laughed, "Why is the heavens angry? Do you think I will be afraid of the heavens' anger?" He stood up from his throne, his tall body casting a huge shadow that shrouded the entire hall in shadow. Jiang Hengchu's whole body went limp, he took three steps back, and was stopped by the guards, he suddenly understood that Di Xin was really not the person he knew.

Di Xin waved his hand: "Originally, you didn't have to die, but after this cannon was made, you haven't tried it yet, so you can try the effect for me." ”

Jiang Hengchu was pulled by the guards to the front of the copper pillar, his feet were buckled by iron rings, and his body was restrained by iron chains, only then did he see clearly that the iron chains were densely engraved with sub-paintings, which were far older than the ones that were popular now, he didn't know them, but they seemed familiar.

Nan Bohou E Chongyu took a step forward to give a salute: "Dong Bohou is heartbroken for the death of his beloved daughter, his mind is in turmoil, his words are incoherent, and his sin is not small. However, the father of Dong Bohou was the emperor's teacher, teaching the Son of Heaven to be meritorious, and the daughter of Dong Bohou was the queen and had a respected status; “

Di Xin looked at E Chongyu and said with a smile: "The four princes are all outstanding in battle, but if you can't be loyal to me, the greater the battle achievements and the stronger the ability, wouldn't it be more dangerous?"

E Chongyu said loudly: "You are the Son of Heaven and we are vassals, how can you be disloyal?"

Daji behind the tulle whispered something, and Di Xin nodded: "Since you said that you are loyal, then good, you take the immortal fire in the palace and ignite the fire medium on the cannon." ”

E Chongyu's face turned pale: "Even if Dong Bohou is guilty, beheading is already capital punishment, how can he be tortured with this kind of torture?"

Di Xin smiled slightly: "Why did I make a cannon brand, I understand, you understand, and the two of them also understand." I'm afraid the only thing I don't understand is Dong Bohou who is tied to the cannon brand. He hadn't learned the art of soul hunting, so he naturally didn't understand the magic of this cannon branding. ”

In addition to Jiang Hengchu, the eyes of the other three Hou Ye looked at the cannon brand at the same time, they seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, but knowing this time, they were sure of this matter. E Chongyu laughed miserably: "If there is no soul hunting technique, how can Cheng Tang defeat Xia Qi?

Di Xin shook his head: "Of course not. I can also hunt souls, and you taught me at first. Soul hunting is not a sin, but who uses it is a big question. Soul hunting is divided into heaven and earth yin and yang, the sky is yang, and the earth is yin. It is not that the two cannot be converted, as long as it is available to me, I will keep, and what is not used by me cannot be kept. “

E Chongyu protested and said: "The minister has never heard of this matter. Soul hunting is ability, how can ability be divided into yin and yang?"

Di Xin nodded: "You're right, it's not just you, there was a dragon slaying battle in Kongjia, and there were not many soul hunters left, I'm afraid that the soul hunters in the world know which category they belong to, and only those old guys." If you want to really distinguish it, you can only carefully probe and judge it in the temple. However, there is a quick and easy way. “

He glanced at the four of them: "That's the instinctive attraction." Those who are both yang will naturally act and think all the way, and they will be close to each other, and those who are both yin will act and think all the way, and they will see each other and be close to each other. Yin and yang, but they are incompatible, and they are like thorns in their backs. Because yin and yang have been burdened with different fates since they were born. ”

He smiled coldly: "So, those who feel close to my behavior at this time are naturally with me all the way." Those who are dissatisfied with my behavior are naturally the opposite. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people in the hall stopped talking, and after a long time, Jiang Hengchu laughed: "Naturally, I am not from your group, because of course I am against you burning to death." Needless to say, light the fire!"

Di Xin smiled and nodded: "You are wrong, you are not a soul hunter, and you do not have the talent of a soul hunter, and you can't talk about yin and yang." Ordinary people, whether they look up to me or not, are the same. ”

Jiang Hengchu laughed wildly: "Then what do you belong to?"

Di Xin put away his smile and said lightly: "I am the king of earth hunting, and I naturally belong to yin." You are an ordinary person, and you can only belong to yin. Even if I burn you and you hate me to death, you will still belong to the side of the earth, and your soul power will become the power of the earth hunter, whether you want it or not. ”

Jiang Hengchu looked at Di Xin with wide eyes, and continued to laugh wildly: "I thought you had changed, but it turned out that you were crazy." If I have knowledge in the earth and a spirit in my soul, and I am only bent on revenge, will I use it for you?"

Di Xin pointed to the black bird in the sky: "The bird eats the grass and insects, although the grass and insects hate the black bird to death, the flesh and blood become the nutrients of the black bird; the tiger and leopard eat the cattle and sheep, although the cattle and sheep hate the tiger and the leopard to death, the flesh and blood also become the blood and bones of the tiger and the leopard; the soul is the same, after you die, you will lose your memory, lose your emotions, lose good and evil, the only thing left is the original soul power, just like the flesh and blood of the dead cattle and sheep, whoever eats it will become whose power." ”

Jiang Hengchu roared in despair: "I don't believe it, if a person has a soul after death, I will kill you!"

Di Xin turned to the other three, "Which of you would like to light this fire?"
