CHAPTER XVI
Hengzhi is a death, Furong proudly looked at the group of inhumane people in front of her, but calmed down: "The rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, you do this dirty and ugly thing, ask yourself, are you worthy of your own cheeky human form?"
This sentence is justified and impassioned, but it stunned the group of chaotic people in Sanjuni, what's the matter with this little lady, she is still hard when she dies, it's incredible-which tough guy is tied to this murder pile and is not scared to the bottom of the stake......
At this time, the old man Bai noticed that Furong was different—a trace of memory suddenly flashed, could it be ......
"Girl, are you human or not, why aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"
"I, Fleur, have the sky on my head and the earth on my feet, what is not a human being?"
The old man Bai was stunned and shouted, "You...... You're the Fleur of the Emperor of the Earth......"
"Exactly. Fleur didn't bother to argue with them.
"Ahh Not only the old man Bai Zhongyan, but even Sanjuni was so frightened that he dropped the sharp knife, and the two looked at each other, dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. After a short silence, Sanjun reacted first, he glanced at Furong, approached Bai Zhongyan and muttered: "Old man Bai, when we met King Yin last time, didn't King Yin say that this Hibiscus is the reincarnation of the fox spirit, which not only harms the emperor of the earth, but also harms the world." King Yin also said that as long as she sacrificed to heaven and earth, the world would be smooth and peaceful. Now that King Yin is gaining power, why don't we take this opportunity to join him with this girl as a meeting gift, so that we can eat peacefully. ”
Old man Bai was not so relaxed, he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and swallowed before he calmed down......
How could he not know the powerful relationship, this Bai Zhongyan was originally a sword and pen official in the Northern Capital, and he was also loyal, he was indifferent to fame and fortune in his life, and never quarreled with others, but this damn drought changed his fate......
Since the water was cut off, there have been countless chaotic people in the world who have pulled all kinds of banners, and all capitals and counties have been able to stop the rebellious people, and they have closed their doors and fled for their lives. But escaping from the hands of the chaotic people, it is impossible to escape the confusion of the sky - in order to survive, the old man Bai colluded with the reckless man Sanjuni, and did the ambiguous thing of killing people and drinking blood......
King Yin is the most chaotic head of the northern capital. His real name is Yinshan, and he was originally just a fortune teller, and he had a gap with the government on weekdays. This time there was such a change in the world, Yinshan played a little bit of mystery with a mouth that could speak well - the villain had to become famous in the northern capital, and he had to inch in, the self-proclaimed king occupied the northern capital, and he also launched a dog-like message, he wanted to announce to the people of the northern capital and even the world that he was not a rebel, and the text was to the effect:
The emperor of the earth has no way, colluding with the fox spirit to act as a traitor, and the number of offends has been exhausted...... Wuyin Mountain is the star of the earth, painstaking, tired muscles and bones, bearing the will of heaven, the will of the world, driving away evil and evil, and trying to eliminate the doubts of heaven, and do not hesitate to do his best to seek blessings, luck and longevity for thousands of people......
Kyoto is also in chaos, and although the royal family can protect itself, it can no longer stretch its hand......
After all, Old Man Bai is a senior old official, although he does not doubt the rumors that Furong is in the world, but King Yin is a thief with obvious political goals, and it is a big rebellion to send the prospective mother there.
Sanjun seemed to have a baby, and shouted impatiently: "Old man Bai, you are showing a attitude, now you are licking blood on the tip of a knife, but you are not writing articles." ”
Bai Zhongyan is really in a dilemma, although he is degenerate, he is purely for survival, and he has never had the luxury of making a big deal from the word "anti......
Seeing this, Sanjuni tilted his face angrily, and in front of Bai Zhongyan, he instigated everyone to shout: "Brothers, this girl we arrested today is the fox spirit reincarnated and bewitched the emperor of the earth, it was she who collided with the heavens, offended the ancestors, and brought bad luck to the world." King Yin said that as long as this goblin is sacrificed to heaven and earth, the world will be peaceful. Everyone said, do you want to give her to King Yin to sacrifice heaven and earth......"
Before Sanjuni's words were finished, there were already cheers in front of them, and they ran over waving torches to see what this goblin who had brought disaster to the country and the people looked like—this is the nature of things, even if it is a pure and flawless jade, but as long as one person says that there seems to be a flaw on it, then immediately a second person will say that it is obvious, and the third person will say that it is a mess, and the fourth and fifth people will spit on it— The same is true for people, it is because King Yin said that Furong is a fox spirit, and thousands of people regard Furong, who is the reincarnation of the dignified Hundred Flowers Star Official, as the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people...... Almost unjustly killed Fleur on the murder stake.
Although Bai Zhongyan felt guilty in his heart, he knew very well in his heart that only by joining them would he be Bai Zhongyan. If they disobey themselves, they are nothing—watching them carry the hibiscus back and go away, the old man hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and followed against his will.
At dawn, Sanjuni and his party carried Hibiscus to the northern capital. This northern capital used to be the most prosperous city in the north, crowded with people all day long, and merchants were like clouds...... However, now the figures are depressed, not to mention, even the once smooth and mirror-like avenue has been cracked by the scorching sun, and even more so, there is nothing else on the cracked avenue - only people, but not people who are standing and walking, but they are all lying or leaning on and not moving...... Occasionally, a few minor moans came from the stinking crowd......
Sanjuni has long been consumed by profit, how can he care about this, and when he encounters a stumbling kick, he kicks away like a stone and doesn't look at it, and hurriedly looks for the northern capital - but he can't find it after a few circles. It was early in the morning, and there was no place to ask for an inquiry.
Sanjun was annoyed, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Bai Zhongyan, who was following last, and pulled it out and blamed: "You knife and pen officer, you have come in circles with me, what if this is what, lead the way, and you will benefit from seeing King Yin." ”
In fact, the old man Bai came all the way, and he didn't stop thinking about it, this is the time of life and death, he still has to be realistic, and he can't bury himself for the word "loyalty", not to mention that he is seventy or eighty, if he doesn't have a good relationship with the reckless man Sanjuni, he is afraid that he won't be able to eat a piece of rotten meat in the future - so he also found a step and took everyone to the northern capital where he spent many years and now changed hands.
The Northern Capital Mansion was originally the branch in charge of the world, and it was really extraordinary, and the mountain people such as Sanjun couldn't suppress their ecstasy and excitement when they saw it, after all, it was a big place for these mountain people, and stepping into the Northern Capital Mansion was like seizing an opportunity on the road of life - how dare they go rampant and lose the opportunity that they think is more precious than life.
Two half-baked soldiers guarding the door of the mansion blocked: "Who are you, dare to break into King Yin's mansion, you don't want to live." When they saw the ragged mountain people, they didn't expect anything good.
Sanjuni hurriedly leaned up and said with a smile: "Please let the two brothers report that the three juniper of Yepoling ask to see you." ”
The two half-hitched soldiers looked at each other for a while, and sneered: "What are the three juniper and four juniper, King Yin hasn't gotten up yet, and is waiting to go." ”
Bai Zhongyan understood this market, he untied the jade spike in his waist and handed it over: "Brother Liangbing, look at this barren year, there is nothing good to honor you, this little gadget is not a tribute, go back and make up for it." ”
"It's like a human saying. The two halves of the soldier collected the things, and then lazily walked in to report.
This is an hour, and although Sanjun and Bai Zhongyan are restless, they can't break in. Finally, I saw the half-hitched soldier come out, and glanced at the old man Bai: "At most two people go in, look at your virtue, don't make King Yin angry to death." ”
When Sanjuni heard this, he was anxious, and his face was red and he argued: "This ...... So many of us are here to defect to King Yin, so how can we do it if we don't let us enter. ”
But the half-rider didn't have any expression at all, and he didn't take him seriously at all. Sanjuni couldn't stand this anger, and he was about to have a seizure, but Bai Zhongyan stopped him, and pleaded with the half-paired soldier again: "Brother Liangbing, either like this, I will go in with Sanjuni, and by the way, I will bring the gifts for King Yin, and I will say yes to King Yin, if I don't send it, I am afraid that he will be surprised......" As he spoke, he asked Sanjun to carry Furong up.
The half-hitched soldier looked at it, and it was really a beautiful and graceful girl, and they couldn't help swallowing their saliva, they knew that this was King Yin's first hobby, and they didn't dare to stop it even if they had two heads, so they had to twist their heads and lead the way in.
The Northern Capital Mansion was built in the heyday of the world, and the grandeur of its project was slightly inferior to that of the Imperial Palace—it took seven turns and eight turns to get to a mahogany wing, and the half-hitched soldiers signaled them to stay, and Gu Zi bent down to report it.
Bai Zhongyan naturally recognized this house, but he had never entered it. This mahogany wing is unique in shape and meticulously crafted, which is both spectacular and elegant. It was originally the house of the dependents of the Northern Metropolitan Mansion, and it was also the place where the princes of the Northern Metropolitan Mansion were at ease - this time I looked at it, and I had a different feeling in my heart, and it was inevitable that there would be some inexplicable emotion.
Just thinking about it, the half-hitched soldier ran out, this time he changed his appearance, probably King Yin's tone changed, and said with a smile: "King Yin, please bring the beauty in, he is waiting inside." ”
Sanjuni and Bai Zhongyan looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, got up and followed into the mahogany wing.
There was a different scene in the wing, with cigarettes entwined and music playing, several singers dancing, and a large number of people sitting on the wide wooden chairs in the middle, giggling and playing, and taking a closer look, only to find that they were all women wrapped in tulle and with their arms exposed...... Sanjuni, the mountain villager, couldn't help but look at it bluntly, how could he have seen such a scene...... In a panic, he just wanted to turn around, someone stopped him, King Yin crawled out of the meat pile with a pair of pants, he put on his gown, waved away the singer and her female companion, and said to the three juniper: "I thought about it for a long time, it turned out to be the three juniper of Yepoling! ”
It's no wonder he's so polite, the half-hitchhiker has already told him the "gift", King Yin is thinking about changing his taste these days, but he didn't expect a friend of the three juniper to send one. When he happily looked at the hibiscus tied up with five flowers, he was even more overjoyed, and his heart was itching like numbness, and he couldn't wait to get started immediately.
Bai Zhongyan and Sanjun are not fools, they have already gained insight into King Yin's inner world from King Yin's expression and the demeanor revealed in his inverted triangular eyes, and the two of them are in a hurry and are about to speak.
King Na Yin first laughed loudly, and said in a procrastinating tone: "Sanjuni, you and this old man are also tired, go down and rest first......!
Sanjuni was quite embarrassed, and he wanted to explain, but he was afraid of ruining King Yin's mood and blaming himself for his scenery - Bai Zhongyan was a little calm, and he thought that he should make it clear to King Yin.
"King Yin, I know that you are holy in heart, people are like immortals, and I really admire the mountain and village husbands......" Bai Zhongyan peeked at it, and saw that King Yin's expression was not different, so he continued without worry: "I heard what King Yin said, there is a fox spirit who turned into a hibiscus girl and lost the emperor of the earth, offended the ancestors of the heavens, and suffered the retribution of the water cut, this is ...... This I am fortunate enough to bump into the three juniper and send it to you to sacrifice heaven and earth, in order to seek peace......"
King Yin didn't care at first, but when he heard the word "Furong", he couldn't help but be surprised, and asked sensitively: "You said this woman is ......?"
"She's the reincarnation of the fox spirit you call Fleur!"
Bai Zhongyan said a word, which made King Yin gasp in shock, he was stunned and got up and looked at her in front of him, who was disheveled but more charming, and fell into deep thought......
"Sanjuni, she...... But is it really Fleur? Don't lie to me. ”
Although Sanjuni is rude, he is thick and fine, and he has already touched the "root" from the changes in King Yin's expression, but he didn't dare to cut to the topic and say it directly, so he said extremely tactfully for a while: "She...... I also listened to what she said, as for whether it was true or not...... The Holy Eyes of the King of Yin ruled ......"
King Yin was naturally happy, he knew the calculation in his heart, and picked up the messy hair that Furong scattered on his face - it was really the noble lady of the world, and grabbed Furong's right hand, browsed the lines on his palm, and counted with his fingers - his heart sank suddenly, and it was indeed the rich and noble life of the mother in the world!
A faint glow of moonlight poured in from the window, revealing a small room.
Fleur, who had been loosened, stood in front of this window, staring blankly into the distance......
The old mother, who had been waiting for her all day, stood aside in a daze, and she couldn't remember the first time she spoke: "Girl, eat something, no matter what, you can't get along with your body!"
I don't know if I'm tired of standing, or if I really can't go, Fleur turned around and nodded slightly at the old mother, but didn't make a sound, and glanced at the things on the table that had been on the table all day with disdain, and also intended to see what it was, there were two plates on the table, and one plate contained some fried rice, which was also a rarity. On the other plate, there is a dry, black, slightly greasy lump...... Fleur couldn't help but think of the flesh - human flesh, she herself was almost divided, when she thought of this, her throat was greasy, a fishy smell gushed up, and she spit out with a "wow", but fortunately, her stomach was already empty, and there was no dirt.
When the old mother saw it, she was about to step forward to support Fleur, when suddenly footsteps sounded outside the door. Who else could be in the middle of the night? She glanced sideways at the door, and when she saw the person who was coming, she couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly threw away her work and stepped forward and said respectfully, "I've seen the king." ”
When Fleur heard that King Yin was coming, she turned away in disgust and admired the night, but she didn't say a word.
King Yin waved away the old mother first, and saw Furong leaning against the window with her back to him, and her pretty figure looked even more graceful against the backdrop of the night, which was intoxicating...... He picked up the plate on the table with his own hands and brought it to Furong: "Furong! How can you not eat, you are not a fairy, you will hurt your body if you don't eat, you don't feel sorry for me! Come, come, my good Furong, eat a little, so that I can rest assured." ”
Furong hit the plate on the ground and sneered: "Furong has a thin life, she can't stand the king Hongfu, you save it!" After that, he stiffened his face and didn't look at the coveted "fortune teller" on the side.
King Yin's heart sank, but when he saw this "cold beauty" demeanor, he seemed to have found the feeling of a woman, and his newly contracted heart softened again, and he boldly put his hands on Furong's shoulders, and said straightforwardly: "My Furong girl! Why don't you open your mind, since ancient times, everything in the world must be reversed, and the emperor takes turns, if you want to be a mother, what's the use of being loyal to the emperor who has no shadow- To tell you the truth, God has already instructed that the royal gas has been exhausted, and I Yinshan will be carried by the sky, and only by unveiling the banner of righteousness can we save the world, and you are not their royal person anyway, so you can't carry the black pot for them, or follow me obediently. King Yin hugged the stunned Furong and said hurriedly: "Furong, you are not the fiancée of the Earth Emperor, and you are not a fox spirit, I will call you a mother...... Hibiscus...... You promise me......"
When Fleur was out of breath, she realized that King Yin was holding her, and she pushed her away. King Yin was not caught off guard, and staggered back a few steps before he stabilized himself, and stared at Fleur in shock and anger.
Fleur seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, regained some self-esteem, looked at King Yin, and scolded resentfully: "The world has suffered misfortune, but it has fulfilled you, a thief, who has taken advantage of the fire to rob, and it is clear that God will never forgive you rebels - I Furong is destined to fall into the hands of thieves, and I want to kill or kill you, but I don't want me to bow my head......"
"You...... You ......" King Yin turned blue with anger, "Okay......! You vixen who has brought disaster to the country and the people, you toast and don't eat and drink, so ...... Tomorrow at noon, I will sacrifice you alive to do the right thing for the people of the world. ”
After King Yin slammed the door and went out, her room was immediately surrounded, obviously afraid that she would escape. Fleur looked at the hazy moonlight and fell into deep thought.
She is now a little suspicious of Guanyin Bodhisattva, how can she not save her when she dies? She also doubts the correctness of praying for rain......
Farewell to Wangjiazhuang, Sang Ming drove the cloud and searched for three days and three nights, but unfortunately no clues were found, Sang Ming wondered if Furong Niangniang had suffered an accident and passed away. I went to the West Heaven Yama Jun to check the book of life and death, and fortunately found that she was still alive in the world.
After such a toss, Sang Ming was exhausted, forced down the clouds, looked at the empty earth, and was as anxious as ants on a hot pot - round and round. Just when he was anxious, a thought flashed in his mind. He slapped his head and blamed himself: "I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Then he raised the Qiankun stick and smashed it towards the earth, shouting sharply: "Where is the land lord here?"
As soon as the words fell, the dust suddenly flew in front of him, and then a figure jumped out of the vast dust, rolled straight to Sang Ming, and nodded: "I am the land woman who is in charge of eight hundred miles of land here, and the land lord has not returned, please forgive the immortals, and if there is something to do, just open your mouth." ”
Sang Ming looked down and saw that it was a dwarf in the shape of an old woman, he was very surprised, but he didn't say anything, because it didn't matter, he pointed to the land woman and asked, "Some time ago, you saw the world's prospective mother Furong come here?"
The land woman leaned on crutches, lowered her head and thought: "Didn't you say that the Furong Niangniang went to ask for rain, I didn't see it." ”
"These eight hundred miles are the main way to ask for rain, and Furong Niangniang must pass through this place, how can you not see it as a land!"
Seeing that Sang Ming was angry, the land lady said in a panic: "Don't worry, the Niang Niang has indeed never been here, otherwise, I will gather all the lands in the west and north of the world and ask them if they know the whereabouts of Niangniang." ”
Sang Ming was overjoyed, this is a good way.
The earth woman was not ambiguous, and took off a screw horn from her waist and blew it, and although the sound was not loud, it was so thick that it did not spread far away...... Sure enough, the land woman is not boasting about Haikou, less than a moment, in all directions...... Air...... Suddenly descended from the ground, and many humanoid creatures appeared—some of which were not humanoids, but tigers, leopards, snakes, and all sorts of strange monsters...... For a while, the spacious ground was filled with black press.
When did Sang Ming see such a scene, although he felt novel, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to obey the arrangement of the land wife.
The land lady borrowed the snail horn to speak: "I invite you to come here for a small gathering today, just because there is something to ask for, I don't know if you have found any trace of the world's mothers on your territory, if so, I hope to inform." ”
The land dispersed with a bang and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye......
Sang Ming looked inexplicable, and asked puzzledly, "Why are they all gone?"
The land lady said: "They came in a hurry just now, and they didn't check it carefully, now go back and find out what they will come to tell me, Shangxian don't have to worry, as long as she is still in the world, there will definitely be a whereabouts." ”
There was no other way, Sang Ming had to settle down and wait for the news with the land woman.
After about an hour, I suddenly saw a thick cloud of dust rising in front of me...... From far to near...... Gradually, a human-faced tiger emerged from the dust, and drove directly in front of the land woman: "The world's quasi-Niangniang is in the northern capital, but she has been captured by the head of the anti-people, King Yin, they accuse Niangniang of being a fox spirit, and want to sacrifice her to ......heaven and earth."
Sang Ming was shocked and asked urgently: "This matter is serious." ”
The human-faced tiger said: "How dare you deceive the immortals, the sacrifice will be held at noon today." ”
Sang Ming pinched his fingers and counted that it was only half an hour before noon, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, how dare he slack off, and immediately thanked the land woman and the human-faced tiger, and then jumped into the air, drove straight away on the clouds.
After King Yin touched his nose in front of Furong, he knew that it was difficult to move her heart, and after several weighings, he finally made up his mind to sacrifice it to heaven and earth, and no matter how bad it was, he could establish some prestige in front of the people.
Overnight, people were mobilized, an altar was built, and the wind was released...... This is terrible, one to ten, ten to hundred...... It almost alarmed the entire northern capital - the common people laughed and cried, and rushed to the city after hearing the news. For a time, the northern capital city was unprecedentedly noisy, and the streets and alleys were crowded with ordinary people from all directions, who all wanted to see what the scourge of this fox spirit was, and wanted to see what kind of hero King Yin was with three heads and six arms.
When the sun rises the next day, a wooden altar with a height of two zhang and a width of four zhang is square stands on the school training ground of the northern capital, and the flags are planted with ulterior motives around the edge......
King Yin appeared at the same time with a hibiscus tied with five flowers, he deliberately wore a cyan gossip robe, a peach wood needle on his head, a Buddhist broom, and a solemn face, as soon as he appeared, he won the cheers of the kind and ignorant people.
Fleur was forced to kneel on the stage, cheering in front of thousands of people who had been guillotined - Fleur's heart was bleeding, and she was so grief-stricken that she was ashamed to find a crack to dig into......
However, everything went smoothly, the people still cheered, Fleur did not drill into the cracks in the ground, and the deadly card that should not be inserted was still inserted into her back. At this time, something strange happened.
The sun, which had been fine just a moment ago, was obscured by the steep clouds, and billowing dark clouds emerged from the sky, covering the entire sky in the blink of an eye—and the sky was rapidly overcast.
The sudden change shook everyone, and there was silence. No one dared to speak out - King Yin was really startled, for more than half a year, the scorching sun hung high every day, and there was not a trace of clouds at all...... Why are the clouds rolling in all of a sudden, as if it was going to rain heavily...... Moham!
King Yin felt a moment in his heart, and then he was pleasantly surprised...... Could it be that I hit by mistake, the girl in front of me is really a fox spirit, and killing her will really bring peace...... He couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and shouted loudly with the momentum: "Fathers and fellow villagers, listen well, now I Yinshan will do the way for heaven, and behead this fox spirit to sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth, in order to atone for the sin of disrespect to heaven and earth - everyone has also seen that the sky is already covered with dark clouds, as long as the fox spirit head falls to the ground after noon, the heavy rain will come immediately......"
Before King Yin finished speaking, there was already a boiling under the altar, and they knelt on the ground one after another, praying sincerely for the rain to fall from heaven in the morning. Some of the older men fainted with joy and wept incessantly......
At this time, Fleur knelt under the hand of the knife and axe, and her heart was numb—I don't know how long later, she heard the duck-like voice of King Yin: "The hour has come, start the beheading." ”
The shuddering drums of life rang out, and the sound shook the sky, stirring up the gathering dark clouds into a whistling sound...... A strong wind also erupted in all directions, and the originally calm sky roared...... I don't know if it's going to rain, or if I'm going to avenge Fleur - the knife and axe hand has raised the shining big knife, and I see that a generation of Tianjiao is about to come to naught......
At this moment, a red light suddenly burst out of the black oppressive sky, and it stopped abruptly on the altar like lightning - as soon as the red light receded, it was Sang Ming.
He pushed away the dumbfounded executioner and untied the haggard Fleur Niangniang, who couldn't help but burst into tears.
Fleur thought it was a hallucination at first, and rubbed her eyes vigorously, and when she was sure of everything in front of her, she was too excited to speak. hugged Sang Ming and cried loudly, she was excited, excited about being rescued, and excited about the world's exhaustion......
Sang Ming waited for Furong to calm down before asking, "Niangniang, these traitors dare to be so rebellious, I will just get rid of them." ”
Furong shook her head with a bitter face: "The people in the world are innocent, I, Furong, am incompetent, let the people suffer, I am already ashamed, how can I use the immortal way to sanction again, let him go!"
King Keyin didn't appreciate it, he thought that Sang Ming was just a little vixen who had just attained Taoism, and the peachwood sword in his hand was enough to deal with.
Sang Ming saw that this gang of thieves not only didn't think about it, but also dared to come to arrest him, he couldn't help but be furious, and lifted the Qiankun stick "Flash, Flash, Flash" A whirling dance, this is terrible, the poor King Yin's heroes who stained the Qiankun stick had broken leg bones and brains, and those who didn't touch the Qiankun stick also flew out of the road and fell to the ground.
King Yin was far away, and as soon as he found out that something was wrong, he hurriedly slipped away, but he was still blown by the sweeping stick wind, and he didn't take a steady step, and he fell into a dog and ate in embarrassment, and got up tremblingly, looking at Sang Ming's sharp gaze, and almost wanted to call his father......
Sang Ming knew that he was a head, it was he who disturbed the order of the northern capital, coaxed the people, and almost destroyed Furong Niangniang, this kind of scum is sorry for the people of the world, he roared and raised it: "You thief, you can't keep you." With a flick of his hand, King Yin was slammed to the ground and in front of the people of the northern capital. This fortune teller, who claims to be a hero in troubled times, has ended up like this, and he is also innocent......
