Chapter 7: The Sheep Is Swallowed by the Devil
After killing Du Bo and forcing Zuo Ru to death, King Xuan of Zhou suddenly felt fear, a shadowy, unfathomable fear.
Since he was a child, King Zhou Xuan has always liked to listen to stories, especially ghost stories, but he is surprisingly timid. Every time he listened to a ghost story, even though it might not be terrible, he still couldn't sleep all night, not because of excitement, but because of fear, fear that went straight to the depths of his soul!
Now, two people, two living people, are dying in front of themselves, just because of their stubbornness. Looking back and thinking about it carefully, it is true that Du Bo was wrong, but indeed he did not sin to death! Moreover, he was also at fault, and his mistake was not light!
It's too late to regret it, the ghosts of Du Bo and Zuo Ru have already haunted him, entangled him every night, and even every day! Although King Zhou Xuan is also a ghost, he is just a coward, a pervert, sometimes, he may still be a drunkard, and sometimes he is even scolded by his wife for being a "dead ghost". But no matter what kind of ghost it is, it's just a fake ghost, and when I see Du Bo and Zuo Ru, the two real ghosts that are like fakes, I only tremble. Therefore, no matter day or night, King Zhou Xuan was worried and trembling.
During the day, he was in a trance, and he made mistakes at every turn. I often pick up chopsticks and forget to eat, eat and forget to go to court, and go to court and forget what to say. He could not hear what the minister said, and even if he did, he would not be able to remember, and even if he did, he would not know what he was saying. Finally, he scattered in a daze, and he would forget the way home. I finally returned to the harem, but I couldn't remember to take a bath, I took a bath, but I forgot to take off my clothes, and after taking a bath, I forgot to put on my clothes and walked around naked. I often forget to bring a tissue paper, and even if I do, I can't remember to wipe my butt.
At night, I don't dare to close my eyes. Because, once the eyes are closed, Du Bo and Zuo Ru will stand in front of them and ask for their lives. Zuo Ru said okay, especially that Du Bo, who has no head, and blood is gurgling out of his neck, how terrible it is. I couldn't stand it anymore, and finally fell asleep, but I was awakened by a nightmare in the blink of an eye. In the next few years, King Zhou Xuan needed to sleep more than a dozen times a day, but each sleep did not exceed five minutes!
As the saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution. Don't say it, Comrade Zhou Xuanwang's capital is still good, very good, and he has survived several years. stayed up and boiled, and it turned out to be the forty-sixth year of King Xuan of Zhou.
For King Zhou Xuan, forty-six years is a wonderful year, no, it should be said that it is a wonderful half a year, the first half of the year! Because the lively King Zhou Xuan has returned, unexpectedly! During the day, he is refreshed, his body is very good, and he eats a lot of food; at night, he lies down and sleeps, and sleeps until dawn, there is no Du Bo, no Zuo Ru, no ghosts asking for his life, and no nightmares. Sometimes, it seems, ghosts lose patience. In this protracted war, King Zhou Xuan won, and the victory was good enough and the capital was enough.
In order to celebrate the victory, in July of this year, it was the season when the grass grew and the horses were fat, and King Zhou Xuan decided to go hunting, and by the way, he also scattered his mind to get rid of the grievances and depression of the past few years.
Just do it, King Zhou Xuan led a large number of his subordinates and set off in a mighty manner, and the momentum was quite strong. As for how to pull the wind, forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't describe it. However, the great writer Su Shi of the Song Dynasty has a popular poem "Jiangchengzi Mizhou Hunting", which has a sentence similar to the scene of King Zhou Xuan's hunting: "The old man talks about the madness of youth, the left leads the yellow, the right Qingcang, the brocade hat mink Qiu, and the thousand horses roll Pinggang." Of course, Su Shi and King Zhou Xuan can't be proportional, after all, one is the lord of the dignified Great Zhou, and the other is just a small Mizhou Taishou, and the scene will naturally be inferior. Su Shi's hunting is "a thousand horses roll Pinggang", and our Comrade Xuanwang's pomp is naturally much larger, not to mention that it is as simple as a thousand horses!
After tossing for most of the day, King Zhou Xuan returned with a full load, and his mood was very refreshing. It's a pity that he forgot the old saying, which is called "happiness begets sorrow". On the way back to the palace, something happened, something happened. Because, he met a ghost, and there was more than one.
King Zhou Xuan, who was in a good mood, took a nap on the jade chariot comfortably. After the nap, he opened his eyes lazily and found that there was an extra car in front of him, and there were two people standing on the car, two acquaintances, but two long-dead acquaintances. Don't ask, these two people, no, these two ghosts, one is called Du Bo, and the other is called Zuo Ru!
King Xuan was startled, and when he opened his eyes again, the person was nowhere to be found, and the car was nowhere to go. The strange thing is that whether it is the car or the people in the car, only King Zhou Xuan has seen it, but no one else has seen it! It seems that the king of a country is the king of a country, and unlike ordinary people, he can see dirty things that others can't see!
King Zhou Xuan was in shock, and the car and Du Bo and Zuo Ru on the car appeared in front of him again. This time, they had an extra weapon, a bow, and an arrow!
King Xuan was shocked and frightened, so he had to pretend to be calm, and shouted inwardly: "Sinner, dare to come and drive!"
Du Bo and Zuo Ru glanced at each other, oh, it's not two people, it's two ghosts! The two ghosts glanced at each other and scolded in unison: "Unconscious king! Kill innocent people in vain! Give me back my life!"
Before the words fell, an arrow had hit King Xuan's heart impartially, no more, no less, exactly 10.9 rings!
King Xuan screamed and fainted on top of the jade chariot!
King Xuan fainted, and his group of men were busy. At this time, they can no longer care about their status, and the king who catches them is just busy! Hammer the chest, pat the back, pinch people, and pour ginger soup, by the way, even artificial respiration is used! Well, now, King Zhou Xuan actually enjoys the treatment that the beautiful sister enjoyed back then. Wouldn't this old pervert be honored if he knew this?
Artificial respiration for King Xuan was performed by two old ministers, one named Yin Jifu and the other called Zhaohu. Two old men in their sixties and seventies probably don't brush their teeth much, and the taste in their mouths is estimated to be not much better than that of sewers!
Perhaps, the sudden extra strange taste in his mouth stimulated King Zhou Xuan, and after a few artificial respirations, King Zhou Xuan woke up. However, people are awake, but their hearts still hurt badly!
jumped out to hunt alive, but became the prey of ghosts, and King Zhou Xuan, who only had one breath left, returned to the harem lifelessly. Poor Empress Jiang never dreamed that in less than a day, her husband would become this virtue! In a hurry, she invited the imperial doctor, but she didn't expect that her husband would refuse to take medicine.
Specifically, there are two main reasons: First, he knows very well that his limit has arrived, not to mention ordinary decoctions, even the elixir of Taishang Laojun and the peach of the queen mother's mother are useless! Second, King Zhou Xuan doesn't want to live anymore! When he opens his eyes and closes his eyes, there are two ghosts staring at him lingeringly, what fun is there in living like this!
Three days later, King Zhou Xuan finally got what he wanted, kicked his legs and braided his hair!
By the way, I forgot to tell you that the forty-sixth year of King Xuan of Zhou is the Year of the Goat. The so-called "sheep swallowed by ghosts" originally meant that King Zhou Xuan was killed by ghosts in the Year of the Goat.
I see!
However, it is clear that the matter is not over yet, because there are still many mysteries that have not yet been revealed!
