Chapter 28: The Fuxi Water Mirror
Zhou Cheng was very unhappy in his heart, he had followed Zhou Yi since he was a child, and he had been in the army for a while, and he had already decided that he was a person from Wu State, and now he saw that Wu State was about to be destroyed, and Zhou Cheng was absolutely unwilling to do so in his heart.
"Hey, come with me out and have a look. Just as the few people were silent, Zhou suddenly raised his head and glanced at the roof, then stood up and walked out.
Soon the three of them appeared in the courtyard, and all three of them subconsciously raised their heads, and at this moment their eyes were already full of stars.
However, in the starry sky tonight, there is a fiery red star that is particularly eye-catching, and on both sides of this fiery red star, there are two stars, one white and one red, respectively.
Under the gaze, the three stars changed their positions at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon the three stars were connected in a straight line. Then the changes that were originally visible to the naked eye suddenly stopped, and the brightest fiery red star was frozen in the starry sky.....
"Samsung's first-line, Yingfu guards his heart...... The qi is exhausted....." The voice of Zhou suddenly sounded, but a few simple words made Zhou Cheng and Qiao Yuwei feel like thunder
"Is this astrological phenomenon really related to the number of qi?" Qiao Yuwei also dabbled a little in the astrology, she had always thought that these were somewhat far-fetched to associate the astrology with the rise and fall of the world, but now that she has said it everywhere, she also believes it somewhat.
"The person associated.... Everyone is too...."Zhou just shook his head and sighed, as if he didn't want to talk more about the stars and stars.
"Brother Cheng, don't think too much, it may be a good thing that the world is one, there are still many things waiting for us to do in the future!" Zhou looked at Zhou Cheng solemnly, changing his idle attitude in the past.
Zhou Cheng also felt the changes in Zhou, as if there was a mission waiting for Zhouzhi to complete in the future.
Just when Zhou and others looked up at the stars above their heads, in the southwest area of Jianye, there was a palace group with continuous palaces and eaves against the sky, and here was Wu Palace-Taichu Palace.
In the palace where the queen of Taichu Palace lived, the lights were brilliant at the moment, but the graceful and luxurious queen Teng Fanglan had a sad face, looking at a young man who was only half a foot away from her.
This man is about twenty-three or four-four years old, he is heroic and tall, and his expression is handsome, she is different from Empress Teng, and she still has a faint smile on her face: "My younger brother was recalled by the emperor to return to the national capital, why does my sister still look unhappy?"
"Although my sister has lived in the palace for a long time, she is not the kind of ignorant woman who doesn't listen to what is going on outside the window. Originally, my Wu Kingdom was weak, but now it is even more famous and the generals are withered. The Jin State was powerful, and it built a building ship in Bashu to train the navy, and the war was about to start. But I don't know why, the emperor's temperament suddenly changed greatly, you have the talent of the four major governors, but he rashly recalled you to the national capital, and even ignored the opposition of the ministers to build the Zhaoming Palace. Now that even the great general has been alienated, why is my younger brother still laughing?" said Empress Teng with a worried face, and the man opposite her was her brother Teng Xiu.
The four major governors of Eastern Wu refer to Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun. These four people are all peerless heroes who can carry an era alone, and in the eyes of Queen Teng, Teng Xiu is a figure who can compete with the four major governors.
"My sister thinks too highly of my little brother, the emperor is my brother-in-law, I can't only do what he asks me to do!" Teng Xiu still had a smile on his face, but there was also a sense of helplessness in his words.
"Alas.... By the way, what's going on with that Zhou? Originally, your marriage with Miss Qiao's family had already been decided, why did Qiao Yuwei suddenly become Zhou's wife?" Empress Teng sighed deeply, and remembered her brother and Zhou's affairs again.
More than ten years ago, Zhou and Qiao Yuwei had a marriage contract, and I also met Zhou once, this person is by no means a thing in the pool, far from being as unbearable as it seems on the surface, I am afraid that all this is set up by people with intentions, and they want me to fight with Zhou. The smile on Teng Xiu's face gradually retracted, and he said some details that outsiders didn't know.
Empress Teng's face became extremely ugly when she heard this, she slapped the table in front of her suddenly, and said in a fierce voice: "Bold Qiao Heng, you dare to fool my Teng family!"
The graceful and luxurious, dignified and beautiful Queen Teng started a fire, and there was a kind of momentum of a king who was angry and bled for thousands of miles.
"My sister is angry, it's not Qiao Heng, it's an old servant who has followed me for more than ten years, and it's this person who wants me to marry Qiao Yuwei. Teng Xiu hurriedly explained.
"This man should be killed. Empress Teng said angrily.
"When I was still in Guangzhou a few months ago, I had this man killed. But.... When killing this person, the younger brother found some clues. Teng Xiu said slowly, suddenly raised his fingers, and saw a little light rising from his fingertips.
That bit of brilliance was like the light of fireflies, rising directly to the roof of the palace, and then the brilliance was scattered, forming an invisible barrier that isolated Queen Teng's bedroom.
There were also servants outside the queen's dormitory, and there were patrolling guards who walked by from time to time in the distance, but these people, whether near or far, were not aware of the changes in the dormitory.
"What the hell is going on?" Empress Teng's body was shocked, and then she asked with a straight face.
"Sister, do you still remember, the secret about Zhuge Kongming's death?" Teng Xiu suddenly flipped his palm, and a palm-sized, crystal-like mirror appeared in Teng Xiu's hand.
Seeing the water mirror in Teng Xiu's hand, Empress Teng's expression changed again.
She knew that her brother's water mirror was a congenital companion artifact, and if someone else got it, it would be an ordinary mirror that looked better, but in Teng Xiu's hand, as long as this water mirror illuminated something, it could show the end of the person related to this thing, that is, the picture of the person when he was dying.
Of course, this ability can only be applied to those who have died, but those who have not yet died cannot see the end. This ability may seem like a chicken rib, but sometimes it can have unexpected effects.
For example, a few years ago, Teng Xiu found a handwritten letter from Zhuge Kongming, a very ordinary letter to the Metropolitan Governor Lu Su, but when Teng Xiu curiously took this letter with a water mirror, the scene that appeared in the water mirror made Teng Xiu unable to forget it for the rest of his life.
Empress Teng looked at the water mirror and remembered what Teng Xiu had said to her back then.
Then Empress Teng slowly spoke: "Back then, Zhuge Kongming's limit was approaching, but he already had a way to deal with it, so he lit the seven-star lantern at the origin of Wuzhang to continue his life. Originally, everything was normal, and he saw that Zhuge Kongming's life was about to come true, but the boy beside him, who had been with him as early as Longzhong, suddenly broke out. At this time, the boy had already grown into an old servant, and he used the magic power of Buddhism. At that time, only the general Wei Yan outside the account noticed the abnormality, so he rushed into the big tent and killed the old servant. However, the seven-star lantern was forcibly interrupted by this old servant, so Zhuge Kongming also failed to continue his life. Later, it was rumored that Wei delayed entering the account and smashed the seven-star lamp, Zhuge Kongming died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and the seven-star lamp was nowhere to be found after that. ”
"There will be no fakeness in the appearance of the Fuxi Water Mirror, I think this is the truth....." Teng Xiu looked at the water mirror in his hand, and said the name of the water mirror, and he had no doubts about this accompanying artifact.
"Zhuge Kongming has been dead for more than thirty years, is there anything to do with it?" Empress Teng was also convinced of the ability of Fuxi Water Mirror, but she couldn't figure out what the connection was between the two things.
"Because.... The old dog I slew..... It is also used to use the magic power of Buddhism....." Teng Xiu's eyes were slightly closed, and he said in a calm tone.
"What..... The people around my younger brother have followed the Teng clan for several generations, and they have been cultivated by their ancestors and fathers since they were children, how can this be?" said Empress Teng with a frightened face.
He didn't doubt his brother's words, but if all this was true, then these people lurking in his family as servants had been planning for at least generations, tens or hundreds of years.
"That's why I went back to the capital so simply. The change in my brother-in-law is indeed abnormal, I hope that there is no other Huang Hao by my brother-in-law's side....." Teng Xiu continued, his words were also full of worry.
Huang Hao is the minister next to Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, who is regarded as the culprit of the destruction of Shu.
The change of Wu Lord Sun Hao, Empress Teng and others have long been suspicious in their hearts.
A monarch who was wise and diligent at the beginning of his succession to the throne suddenly inexplicably began to indulge in alcohol, became moody, and became mediocre and tyrannical, and anyone would feel abnormal.
"What does my brother need me to do?" Empress Teng said solemnly, and took out her queen seal from her bosom and placed it on the table.
"Sister can just wait and see, since it is related to Buddhism, then I will find an opportunity to go to Jianchu Temple and visit the Kang monk..."
Teng Xiu said lightly, but there was obviously a burst of killing intent on his body.
