"It's goneβ" The firewood room was the size of it, and there was nowhere else to hide a corpse.
Nan Zhao ran out quickly, found the blind mother-in-law in the stove room, and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, did you remove my friend's body?" β
"No!" The mother-in-law shook her head and said with a little surprise: "I'm a blind old woman, what are you going to do to move that corpse?" β
However, Zhuang Ziyu's corpse disappeared out of thin air!
What the hell is going on?
"Nan Zhao, are you sure that Zhuang Ziyu you dragged out of the Black Mountain is really dead?" King Zhou Yang of Tai'an came out of the firewood room in a few steps, not because he doubted what Nan Zhao said, but because he had always acted cautiously, many confirmed things could be overturned and restarted, not to mention that she said it alone.
If Zhuang Ziyu is really dead, how can he disappear when no one moves?
Nan Zhao confirmed: "He was seriously injured, I helped him check his pulse, and he was not saved, and besides, when he died, I was in front of him, and I couldn't distinguish between the corpse and the living person very clearly......" In the second half of the sentence, her tone slowed down significantly!
King Tai'an saw the change in her and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Nan Zhao thought of one thing, that is, wasn't Shen Rugu resurrected after death?
However, this matter was related to the Shen family, and she did not intend to mention it to King Tai'an, so she had to mention another matter.
She said: "Before he died, Zhuang Ziyu asked me not to bury his body! β
At that time, she thought that the other party just didn't want her death to be burdensome, but now that she thinks about it, it seems to be somewhat related.
When the king of Tai'an heard this, he fell into deep thought, and then he said in a hypothetical tone: "If this is the case, then the Zhuang Ziyu you see may be ...... It's really Zhuang Ziyu! β
"The real Zhuang Ziyu died in a disaster a month ago, and three months later, he appeared alive in another place, died again, and then his body disappeared...... Nan Zhao knew a lot about King Tai'an, so he asked: "Does the prince know, what is the method in this world that can bring people back from the dead?" β
King Tai'an was also thinking about this silently, and found that he thought of it with Nan Zhao, and said with a smile on his face: "The Xuanmen is big, the law is boundless, according to the ancient books, there are no less than a few ways to bring people back from the dead, but these methods have long been lost, although I have read a lot of relevant ancient books, but after all, I am a person outside the Xuanmen, and I have never met a real case of death and resurrection in my lifetime." β
Nan Zhao muttered in his heart: Oh, isn't that Shen Ruso.
At this time, she remembered a very important detail, "The prince said earlier that three months ago, Zhuang Ziyu died of a disaster, I don't know what the disaster was?" β
At the mention of this, Zhou Yang, the king of Tai'an, who has always been calm, looked worried.
Nan Zhao is not a person who does not know about the accident, seeing that the other party has not spoken for a long time, she changed her words and said: "If it is inconvenient for the prince to say more about this matter, it should be that Nan Zhao has not asked." β
King Tai'an shook his head and emphasized warmly, "It's not that it's inconvenient as you think, it's just that there are many strange things about this matter, and it has something to do with this king, so it......'s a long story."
"Then the prince picked up the important thing and said." She received Zhuang Ziyu's "Zhuang's Secret Record", and before her death, she promised to find out the real culprit behind the scenes for her and take revenge.
I really don't understand, why can he die and come back to life a second time, so he doesn't say goodbye so much?
King Tai'an mentioned: "Nanyue, Zhuang, Zhang, Dugu four families, after my ancestors set the country, the four major families of the Daomen were enshrined, the Zhuang family has been passed down for several generations, Zhuang Ziyu is the young master of the Zhuang family, because of his talent and intelligence, enlightenment is very early, he became famous at a young age, and he was invited to participate in the king's crown ceremony, so I had several encounters with him. Less than two years after that, Zhuang Ziyu's parents died suddenly, he seems to have been tracking down the cause of his parents' deaths, a few months after the bad news of his death came, admiration is really regrettable for such a Taoist genius died like this, so he personally rushed to Yunzhou to attend the funeral; At the funeral, the slave of the Zhuang family handed over a letter to the king, which was written by Zhuang Ziyu before his death, and it seemed that I had already calculated that I was going to mourn, and the letter was written to me, which mentioned a very important thing for me, which was related to the later trip to Qingzhou. β
Nan Zhao knew very well that Tai'an's trip to Qingzhou was to go to Qingyunguan to find her, and she pretended to be stupid before and never broke it.
Now I found out that the king of Tai'an came to look for her because of Zhuang Ziyu's reminder a few months ago, and Zhuang Ziyu, who was dead at the time, suddenly appeared last night and saved her with a blood feud?
Everything that happened before seemed unrelated, but it was all related to her and the Spirit Flower and the Lord of the Purple Beads, among them, what was the truth, she was far from being able to explore, and she didn't go around the bend with King Tai'an, and asked directly: "On that letter, did Zhuang Ziyu mention the Spirit Girl?" β
King Tai'an's expression changed slightly, thinking that the third woman was right, this girl looked stupid on the surface, but she was not an unintentional person.
didn't hide it, he nodded calmly and said: "Yes, there has long been a prophecy that the spirit girl who can affect the overall situation of the world is about to appear, and this king has been looking for several years without success, and Zhuang Ziyu's letter only has a few words, but it gave this king the answer he wants most." β
The letter read: The person the prince is looking for is a disciple of the Qingyun Guan Lord in Qingzhou, named Nanzhao.
Who would have thought, not long after he received the letter, the news came that the Qingyun Guan Master had been killed and died, so he immediately set off and rushed to Qingzhou, in order to find this closed disciple.
"Actually, Zhuang Ziyu left the last letter to this king, this king did not believe it completely, and went to Qingyunguan with the attitude of trying it out, and happened to see the great drama of the Eight Great Views for the way of heaven!"
Nan Zhao is indeed the spirit girl he is looking for, but he is late, and the spirit girl has already married a wife!
Speaking of this, Nan Zhao immediately knelt on the ground, which made King Tai'an very puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
She lay on the ground, her forehead next to the ground and said in fear: "Although Nan Zhao was born with a spirit flower, she is not a real spirit girl, and she is not helpful to the great things that the prince wants!" β
After hearing this, King Tai'an was a little crying and laughing, and waved his robe sleeves and asked, "Do you have to talk to me like this?" β
"The prince is always the prince! Nanzhao is just a mountain wild dog! Not to mention what kind of spirit girl, I am not even proficient in the minimum Dao Sect foundation that my master taught me! β
King Tai'an sighed helplessly, "You're really not stupid. β
As soon as I heard the prophecy that the spirit girl would affect the overall situation of the world, and then thought of the king of Tai'an's search for several years, he knew that what he was planning was important, and he should really put aside the relationship, and even meet in Pingshui.
"So you don't want to?" Seeing that she couldn't get up for a long time, King Tai'an pretended to be angry and asked.
Nan Zhao replied: "It's not that I don't want to, but I really don't have that ability." β
If it has anything to do with King Tai'an, and it involves the affairs of the society, she is afraid that she will not only die without a place to be buried, but I am afraid that when the time comes, she will really bear the infamy of a disaster in the world, and she will be spurned by future generations after thousands of years!
"The king has told you all such an important thing, but you don't have that ability, so you say, what should the king do with you?"
Nan Zhao lowered his head, his eyes quickly rolled in his sockets a few times, and he immediately realized the problem.
The dignified King Tai'an has exposed his ambitions in front of her, a mountain and wild Daogu, and she is not in the same boat as him, what will happen?
Xun Long, who had been standing next to him, pulled out his long sword and said, "Naturally, it's a killing!" β
Nan Zhao raised his head in panic and begged for mercy: "Brother Xunlong, don't be impulsive!" β
Thinking that at the beginning, Xunlong also had a good intention to take her back to the palace to be a maid, but this girl would rather go back to guard the Shen Rugu who was in the twilight and twilight, rather than go with him, the humble and polite prince master, he was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, he must teach her a good lesson for the prince, the long sword immediately fell on Nan Zhao's neck, and roared fiercely: "If you don't go with our prince today, I will kill my mouth, and it is not easy for anyone to pull it!" β
Nan Zhao cried with a sad face, and he didn't know if King Tai'an really wanted to kill her, but this dragon hunt didn't seem to be joking!
"Alright, alright!" King Tai'an really couldn't see her pitiful appearance, and waved his sleeves to ask Xunlong to quickly put away the knife.
Xunlong just said that it is not easy for anyone to pull it, but when he saw that the master was so partial to this girl, his face was a little unbearable.
"Master, this girl doesn't know how to lift, I'll teach her a good lesson for you!" He lowered his voice and whispered to King Tai'an, but Nan Zhao heard it clearly.
But the master didn't appreciate it and said, "Put away the sword and look for the dragon!" Also, Nanzhao, you also get up from the ground! β
Xunlong was very unwilling to accept the sword, and said to Nan Zhao: "I'll tell you, for the sake of my master's face today, I won't worry about you first!" β
Nan Zhao got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and didn't speak.
As soon as she spoke, Xunlong was so angry that he drew his sword again.
Why does this guy love to draw his sword so much, as if he doesn't want money!
King Tai'an saw that she was wronged, and turned his head to her and said softly, "You come with me!" β
Nan Zhao was afraid that Xunlong would draw his sword and come out to scare her, so he obediently followed King Tai'an out of the stove room and out of the dilapidated grass house of his mother-in-law.
The sky outside is clear, twilight is approaching, and the sun is as warm as Zhou Jingmu's warm and jade-like temperament, which is just right.
King Tai'an walked forward slowly, and today he was wearing a pale green robe, in fact, this color was more suitable for his elegant temperament, but Nan Zhao couldn't understand why he usually liked to wear black.
And Nan Zhao silently followed behind him, walking along the path of the ridge and heading forward.
The figures of two people are reflected in the fields and waters, one is handsome and elegant, and the other is vulgar and petite.
At this time, King Tai'an stopped beside a willow tree that had just begun to sprout and called, "Nanzhao, have you heard the story of the double sawfish and the sea anemone?" β
She shook her head.
The king of Tai'an recounted: "In the eastern sea, there is a fish called Double Saw, which is very ugly, but it has little deterrent power, and in the deep sea, it is the lowest fish. The anemone is highly poisonous, and the most ferocious fish in the deep sea do not dare to approach the anemone, and the venom of the anemone is useless against the double saw, so the double saw often hides in the sea anemone, in order to avoid the threat of other natural predators. β
Nanzhao was fascinated by this little story, but he didn't know why King Tai'an wanted to tell this story to himself.
King Tai'an spoke again: "In this world, you can be afraid of many people, but you don't have to be afraid of me!" Nanzhao! β
Nan Zhao looked at him even more puzzled, only to hear him say: "You don't have to believe me now, but one day, you will know that I am worthy of your trust!" β
Although Zhou Yang has clearly expressed his attitude towards Nan Zhao, he does not force Nan Zhao to do anything, after all, she is still the young lady of the Shen family, in case of danger, he can come to the rescue, but he will never force her to stay by his side, he has already arranged the carriage and horses, ready to send her back to the Shen Mansion in Qingzhou.
When Nan Zhao found out, he was very grateful.
She had long been accustomed to the fact that everyone who approached her had a purpose for her, but King Tai'an gave her a different feeling, and he made her ashamed to turn it away.
"I don't plan to go back to Qingzhou immediately!" Nan Zhao looked at the thatched house of the blind mother-in-law with concern, and told the story of the blind mother-in-law who had been waiting for her son for ten years.
And it was getting late, and even if there was news, it wasn't so fast.
King Tai'an hoped that Nan Zhao could go back to Taizhou with him as a guest first, and the blind mother-in-law was really pitiful, and there was no relatives around to take care of him, so he decided to take his mother-in-law to one of his other courtyards to take care of the hospital, and someone would take care of her, so that she would not die alone in this countryside and there would be no descendants to collect the body.
"The prince is benevolent, Nan Zhao thanked the prince for his mother-in-law!" Nan Zhao immediately wanted to kneel down again, thinking that this prince didn't like others to kneel for him, so he just stopped!
But Zhou Yang humbly said: "On this day, no matter whether the rich can rival the country or the old and helpless, they are all the people of the country, and it is my Zhou family's responsibility to inherit the unification so that the people of Li can live and work in peace and contentment!" β
In fact, he is the most worried person who sees these toiling people, and he hates that he can't create more well-being for the people of the world by himself.
Taizhou Tai'an Palace, is not the same as imagined.
I have seen the luxurious Shen Mansion of the Shen family, but the palace of the ninth son of Emperor Yan is only a little larger than that of ordinary large families, there are not many expensive utensils, and there are not many slaves and servants.
But judging from the vibrant flowers and plants in the garden, the owner cherishes life very much and takes good care of this grass and tree.
Nan Zhao was arranged to the guest room, afraid that she would not be used to it, and after Zhou Yang returned home, she would no longer appear, and only sent a little maid to take care of her daily life.
The maid's name is Xiao Ke, and she learned that her own prince, who is not close to women, brought a girl back to her house, she was looking forward to what kind of fairy she was, as soon as she entered the guest room, she saw the thin Nan Zhao, wearing a gray coarse cloth clothes full of patches, and her eyes were straight!
I thought to myself that my prince is really kind-hearted, where did he go to pick up such a little beggar and come back.
When she looked at Nan Zhao, Nan Zhao was also looking at her, she hurriedly said politely: "The prince asked me to serve the girl to live in the past few days, what does the girl need, just tell me, my name is Xiaoke!" β
She doesn't need much, she just needs to eat and drink, and a place to sleep!
After settling in the palace, she took out Zhuang Ziyu's "Zhuang's Secret Record" again and read it carefully, and found that it recorded many strange things encountered by the predecessors of the Zhuang family. If she didn't die, or was resurrected, why would you give her such an important family heirloom?
Also, putting aside his resurrection from the dead, what is the cause of the dealer's enmity with the purple pearl that framed her?
Zhuang Ziyu said that she has now opened the spiritual sacrifice, does that prove that she has become stronger?
I opened my palm and looked at the spiritual flower in my palm, but I really didn't feel any powerful feeling in myself.
The next day, she got up, and Xiao Ke was instructed by the prince to prepare new clothes for her, not made of that kind of precious material, but ordinary cotton dresses.
In this way, she doesn't feel pressured to wear it.
Changing the number of clean clothes, Xiao Ke said that the prince was invited, and she followed Xiao Ke to the place where the prince was.
As soon as she entered the palace hall, the king of Tai'an got up and said to her, "As you said yesterday, I have ordered someone to visit the place where my mother-in-law's house is by the water to the east, and from there is a lake called Danghu Lake more than 50 miles to the east. β
"What my hexagram says should be the lake, Xiaodong died there back then, as for why he died, he can't get it, he can only go there to find out in person!"
When the king of Tai'an heard that she was going to Danghu, he immediately called Xunlong: "Go and prepare the chariots and horses, and we will set off." β
Nan Zhao originally planned to borrow a horse to go by himself, but now he was a little hesitant to see that the prince himself was going to go together.
King Tai'an saw her concerns, and deliberately reminded her: "Xiaodong's mother is a member of my palace at the moment, and she will find her son's bones for her, and my master will go there in person, so what's wrong?" β
Nan Zhao thought about it, too.
So the two of them set off in full gear, in order to prevent Nan Zhao from feeling uncomfortable with too many entourage, he only brought Xunlong today, and all three of them rode horses, even the cumbersome carriage was omitted!
Before noon, they rushed to Danghu Lake.
Looking at the almost invisible lake, Nan Zhao was silent for a long time, as if he had made a difficulty.
Zhou Yang asked her, "How?" β
"My hexagram shows that he died here because of the water, and after so many years of no one caring, it is likely that the body sank to the bottom of the lake......"
This lake is so big and dozens of feet deep, how can we find his bones?
Zhou Yangyan said with deep meaning: "What the living don't know, the dead know!" β
Nan Zhao was reminded by him like this, and suddenly realized: "Indeed, it is difficult to hear a word of truth in the mouth of the living, but it is true in the mouth of the dead. β
And when it comes to dead people, she has seen a lot, she said: "If you can attract Xiaodong's soul, ask it, you can know why he died back then, and where is the body now!" β
After speaking, she said with doubts: "However, I have never tried the art of spiritualism, so I don't know if it is feasible." β
She glanced down at the spirit flower in her palm, Zhou Yang had already known the day before, what the purple beads in her palm were doing, and now she basically guessed what she was thinking.
"You don't want to use the spirit flower to attract Xiaodong's revenant, right?"
Nan Zhao nodded and replied: "Since Xiao Dong died here, if he dies due to the water, it is very likely that his soul will be trapped in the lake, as long as I take the purple bead in the evening, I can attract all the lonely souls and wild ghosts nearby!" β
Zhou Yang took over and said: "Your spirit flower is indeed the easiest thing in this world to attract souls, but in this way, it will attract more than Xiaodong, what will happen to the consequences, I can't imagine what will happen, this matter must not be done!" β
In fact, she didn't plan to do this, she was just thinking, if one day she could be as strong as Shen Rugu, and the hundred ghosts didn't dare to get close, then what else could she be afraid of her spirit flower?
"Then you can only conjure spirits!" Nan Zhao took a deep breath and made this decision, she mustered up her courage.
In her previous life, she came over in a daze, and she had never been troubled by what kind of Taoism she wanted to cultivate, until this disaster forced her, and she suddenly woke up.
Since she wants to become stronger, she can't rely on others for everything, she now has the Zhuang family's secret record in her body, and it shouldn't be difficult to summon spirits.
The items needed are easy to find, the only problem is that it is recorded in the secret record that the most important thing for the soul is the soul flag, which is a relic of the deceased, Xiaodong has been dead for ten years, and I don't know if the blind mother-in-law still has any of his belongings.
She mentioned the matter to Zhou Yang, and Zhou Yang immediately sent Xunlong back to Taizhou, looking for the blind mother-in-law to take Xiaodong's relics back to make a spirit flag.
Xun Long received the order and should have carried it out immediately, but he refused to leave.
He said worriedly: "Master, I am gone, there is no one by your side, what if you encounter danger?" β
Zhou Yang said deadly: "You just go, this king and Nanzhao are waiting for you in the wooden pavilion in front, you must rush back before dark!" β
Xunlong had no choice but to ride on his horse and go to Taizhou quickly.
At this time, only Nan Zhao and King Tai'an are left, fortunately, this prince has a warm personality, there is no prince shelf, and Nan Zhao does not feel unwell, but it is this hour, he has not eaten yet, and his stomach is a little hungry.
"Is the prince hungry?" She asked, looking up.
The other party smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "Are you hungry?" β
She nodded, a little embarrassed.
Zhou Yang looked far away and said, "There is a fishing village in front, we can go there to find a family and order food." β
Thinking of the dignified prince who wanted to go to the fisherman's house with her to beg for food, Nan Zhao was even more impressed by Zhou Yang, thinking that if he was not the prince, they could become very good friends!
The fishing village soon arrived, and they found the nearest fisherman, and Zhou Yang paid the money and asked the hostess to cook a few dishes and bring them up, and he was generous, and the fisherman's family was very enthusiastic.
Soon, a few dishes of lake fresh food were served, and Zhou Yang was about to use chopsticks to eat, Nan Zhao stretched out his hand to stop him and whispered: "Lord Wang, slow down, wait for Nan Zhao to help you taste it first, and then you can eat!" β
Although the fishermen seem to be good people, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and Zhou Yang's status is noble, so he still has to guard against it, and besides, Nan Zhao feels that he owes Zhou Yang a lot, so leave this kind of tasting work to her!
After speaking, she picked a piece of fish meat into her mouth and ate it with relish.
After trying this plate, she began to try shrimp again, the shrimp shell is difficult to peel, she has not eaten much before, peeled for a while, only a small piece of shrimp meat remains, put it in her mouth and read: "Sin, sin, sin!" β
Zhou Yang looked at her like this, couldn't help but smile on his face, and picked up the chopsticks and put the largest shrimp into the Nanzhao bowl.
Seeing the shrimp, Nan Zhao was flattered, and didn't know what to say for a while, but at this time, the hostess came out with fish soup, and she took the opportunity to ask: "Auntie, you here, many years ago, did you come to a person named Xiaodong?" He was probably in his thirties......"
The hostess took the soup and listened to her question, but her hand did not hold the soup bowl in her hand, and the soup spilled out, which happened to be sprinkled on Zhou Yang's clothes.
The fish soup that had just come out of the pot was still very hot, and Zhou Yang immediately got up, and his robe was half wet.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! The hostess said in a panic.
Zhou Yang was angry, but he didn't have a seizure.
Nan Zhao saw that he was wearing a wet suit with soup, got up and said, "You take off your clothes, I'll go outside and help you clean it." β
Zhou Yang did not refuse, and after the hostess went out, he took off the outermost robe and handed it to her.
When Nan Zhao took the clothes, her eyes inadvertently noticed something on the back of his neck, so she went around the back to take a closer look, it was actually the mark of a flower, exactly the same as the spirit flower in her palm!
