Chapter 181: The Beginning of the Truth
Genichi dug the ground for a long time, and finally dug a large pit into which all the bones could be buried.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his head and looked at the dozen corpses lying side by side not far in front of him. Under the moonlight, the skin of each corpse glowed with a pale blue light, not like a human being.
Xuan Yi first picked up Shi Jian's body and the head of the red sleeves. Life has never been the same, death can also be the same hole. Although this tomb not only buried the bones of two people, Xuanyi really had no spare strength to dig a new tomb for each person.
He knew that they would be considerate, so he didn't ask for any more, and put the bones of a dozen people into the huge pit one by one.
Xuanyi stood on the giant pit and looked down from top to bottom, his dense hands and feet, dense heads, and hundreds of elite soldiers abandoned in the mass grave, it didn't seem to be much better.
A shovel down, red clay covered. Xuan Yi traced the eyebrows of dozens of people for the last time, and then closed his eyes, relying only on his hands, shoveled up the red clay and scattered it towards the giant pit.
Two shovels, three shovels, four or five shovels......
When Genichi opened his eyes, the crater had already been half filled. Filling in the soil is obviously much easier than digging a pit, and Xuanyi is very fast.
The branches on the moon want to talk about it.
Soon, the crater could no longer see what had been buried. Only the red clay flies and protects what lies below.
"You're back. A voice spoke, breaking the silence of the night. This person hid his body behind the Golden Buddha, his voice was elegant and warm, and after only one day, he seemed to have penetrated love and realized it.
Xuanyi was a little panting, but he didn't stop the movements in his hands, one shovel, two shovels, three or four shovels...... He had evidently foreseen that there was still a living person, but rather that he had come back to see him, and he was not at all surprised, without light or soul, and without even turning his eyes.
"I've been waiting for you for a day. Huo Lanyuan held the sword in his hand, and the bloody clothes on his body never changed. His face was haggard, and his lips were pale and chapped. Even his eyes were bloodshot, and a few strands of his hair were stuck together from the splattered blood. Black hair is messy, and the eyes are blank.
Xuanyi was still working hard and didn't answer a word.
Huo Lanyuan exposed half of his body, and half of his body was hidden behind the Golden Buddha. He carefully identified it until he was sure that there was only one person coming, and then he laughed softly, and his tone was mocking, "Only you?"
The cool breeze was blowing, and this time it whistled to Jialan, shuttling through the bamboo forest, like a ghost whispering, and answered for Xuanyi.
"What about her?" Huo Lanyuan asked again, but it was only a moment, and he took the initiative to reply, word by word with great certainty, "You pushed her away again." β
The last shovel of soil.
Genichi filled up the big hole. He walked up to a slightly raised dirt slope and stepped on it, treading on it to harden the loose red clay.
Huo Lanyuan nodded clearly, "I don't know if you should say that you are ruthless or affectionate." You've pushed her away several times, are you really out of the past, or you just don't want her to die with you?"
Xuanyi put his hand on the dirt slope and rubbed it carefully.
This time he finally replied: "Affectionate or ruthless." This world doesn't revolve around lovers, I used to have a narrow horizon. After yesterday's long night, I suddenly realized that love is not so important. I was just...... It doesn't matter anymore. β
Huo Lanyuan lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "If only I had your heart." Xuanyi, my hands are stained with too much blood, and I can't be called a 'human' anymore. To say that it is for the sake of 'righteousness' is nothing but my self-deception. But after last night, I saw through a bit. I want Shen Qingjun, mostly because I don't have one. Obsessed, he killed everyone who stood in his way, wanting to imprison her in the palm of his hand. β
When Xuan Yi heard this, his mood finally fluctuated, "I think, if the Son of Heaven gives an order, you must be very happy." This is not exactly what you want, and you can justify it and remove me. β
Huo Lanyuan didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know why the Son of Heaven gave this order now?"
Xuan Yi was silent for a moment, first shook his head, and then nodded, "I know a point in time. The ninth year of Wude happened to be the year I was born. Although I grew up in Jialan, I also know that in that year, a major event happened in Datang. β
Huo Lanyuan raised the sword and red whisk, "That's right." The ninth year of Wude is the origin of all this. Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there are earth-shattering changes. β
Liu Sanqian looked at all this, and felt that he could finally get a glimpse of the whole story.
She has been confused, and she only knows that "Nine Years of Wude" must be a very important point in time in this story. But she has neither a history book nor a Baidu in her hand, so she suddenly can't figure out what major events happened in this year.
But Huo Lanyuan's words connected everything in series.
In the ninth year of Wude, the change of Xuanwumen.
The crown prince Li Jiancheng was jealous of his brother Li Shimin's military achievements and enjoyed a high prestige among the people and courtiers, so he united with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to squeeze out Li Shimin openly and secretly.
The court formed two forces.
These two forces are fighting openly and secretly. Behind the scenes, the "flames of war" are endless.
Li Jiancheng once designed to poison Li Shimin, but if he couldn't do it, there would always be a number of plans that could be accomplished. Li Shiming wanted to protect himself, and because Tang Gaozu Li Yuan had always selfishly favored the prince, he was ready to strike first and give it a go.
In the ninth year of Wude, the fourth day of the sixth month. Li Shimin, the king of Qin, staged a coup d'Γ©tat at the Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the Taiji Palace.
This coup d'Γ©tat washed Xuanwu Gate and Chang'an City with blood. The crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji suffered this great change when they had no defense, and they were naturally defeated, and they were defeated and lost their lives.
Two heads, hanging above the Xuanwu Gate. The great cause has not been accomplished, and we cannot turn a blind eye.
Li Shimin killed his brother and brother, forced his father to abdicate, and sat on the dragon chair.
This is what Liu Sanqian knows, about the change of Xuanwu Gate.
The story is coming to an end here.
But what is the matter with the Golden Buddha who is powerful and blessed in this world is still a question.
What can be known now is that the Son of Heaven who has been faint and hazy in the "behind the scenes" in this story is "Li Shimin" of Tang Taizong.
He has only a rough outline, but he has the direction of the story.
Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the blood moon in the sky, "One more thing is my birth." It just so happened to be the ninth year of martial arts. It was only last night that I learned that none of my uncles were serious monks. Instead, he studied under a master named 'Gu Yansheng'. Why did they raise me in Yugaran, and why did they fight so hard for me several times? I know that my mother is the noir of the night, but I still don't know who my father is. I had a guess. β
Huo Lanyuan was full of interest, "Let's hear it." β
