"To the Alpha:

It has been more than three months since he entered the puppet palace, and he has been miserable. Nothing is done. Although there are medical skills of the previous dynasty that can be read, it is also forbidden by the teacher, and I don't know if I can read it freely, so as not to sit empty.

The day before yesterday, he cut his face, although he had no choice but to hurt his own flesh and bones, and suddenly felt like hurting his parents' flesh and bones...... Shame and fear. The knife wound is difficult to heal, the blood does not stop, although there is good medicine to apply externally, but the pain is unbearable, and the food and sleep are restless.

In the middle of the night, I woke up in severe pain due to accidentally touching the wound. Looking at the full moon outside the window, it was as bright as in previous years, and I suddenly felt lonely and homesick. The night was deep and heavy, and I should have slept peacefully, but I had a lot of thoughts, but I couldn't sleep. Since it is difficult to sleep, it is better to write these few words to you, in order to relieve the pain of burning your heart and the pain of homesickness.

I don't know if my father and mother are good?

Qingyan is not filial, although he knows that he shouldn't, but he still hopes that his father can understand Qingyan's helpless behavior. It is a great fool and unfilial piety to self-harm because of a moment of nonsense and anger.

If you see this book one day, don't do such foolish things again. ”

The skinny boy sat upright at the wooden table, holding a pen in his left hand in his left hand that did not match the palm of his hand, and wrote his letter to "his future self" with a serious pen on the paper. His face was wrapped in a thick strip of cloth, revealing only one eye. Probably because he only had one eye to see, even though he tried hard to write neatly, it was still crooked.

The boy didn't care what the last words looked like, he carefully dried the ink, folded it carefully, and put it in a small box in the corner.

For three months, there were less than five sheets of paper in the box. Not because he was too lazy to write, or because there was nothing worth writing about...... It's just because I don't want to give myself too much trouble in the future, so I try not to write. The idea of a ten-year-old child is innocent and cute, but also pitiful.

The boy looked at the letter that had been pressed to the bottom, revealing only a corner, and with a little hesitation, pulled it out.

promised Qingfeng to watch it after staying in the puppet palace for three months, in fact, he could have seen it half a month ago. However, he did not dare to look. He was afraid that in the eyes of the breeze, that crazy guy was really so hateful. If even the breeze said that...... There's still a year to go, how is he going to get through it?

But now. It doesn't matter anymore.

The sting of the scars on his face had taught him to hate, and he hated that guy named Tang Xiaoyu. So he was not afraid of the breeze to give an affirmative answer to his thoughts.

The snow-white paper was a little yellowed in the candlelight, but the inky black words were still clear, with a bit of cragginess that was unique to the breeze.

"Qing Yan, people, is by no means what the sages say in the poems, if it is not a great good, it is a great evil. There is a saying: If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Although there is a saying later: 'If you can change if you pass it, you will be very good'. But what is 'transgression' and what is 'good'? Sages have a way, but mortals have no way. When people live in the world, they cannot be judged by their words and deeds.

Treat people and things, you can follow the four words: 'half of the merits and mistakes'. Great merit without mistake and for good. A big mistake is useless, and it is evil. Half of the merits and mistakes are cited by ordinary people, and one should not be regarded as one wrong or one right, and they should not be convicted in vain.

However, this is just empty talk. If you can abandon your personal lust, love and hate, then it is not within the reach of our mortal body. The reason why people are human is because they can judge right and wrong for themselves. You don't need to convince others, you just need to have a clear conscience.

Qing Yan asked me how Tang Qing was a person, and I could only answer one sentence: 'There is a big mistake, but there is no big evil'.

Ordinary people often judge others wantonly, but do not think about the same difficulties, how should they behave?

Qingyan is young, and he doesn't know that people's hearts are complicated and the world is sinister. Don't think about it, just remember one word: 'When a man is in the world, he has a clear conscience.' The world spurns it, and it is also the view of the world, not the view of the heart. You don't have to think about others, you don't have to force yourself. ’

Light breeze advises. ”

The boy put down the letterhead and muttered, "Have a clear conscience?" and raised his hand to touch the painful and numb position: "Dan asks for a clear conscience...... Is it?"

No matter how smart he is, he is also a child, and a child who is loved and guarded by his parents. He did not understand what was said in the letter. He didn't understand the great good and the great evil that Qingfeng said, and he didn't understand the difference between the sages and mortals. At most, all he can understand is the sentence "Have a clear conscience, don't force it".

"Breeze, shouldn't I hate him?" the boy touched the strip of cloth on his face, his eyes showing sadness and struggle.

From the poisonous insects entering the body, the West Lake bloody case, to being tortured by Zhu Yangai to the point that he couldn't sleep at night, and then to the inhuman life after coming here...... Don't hate. And how do you do it?

Light Breeze, Zhu Yangai, West Lake, Nightmare, Tang Xiaoyu......

I don't understand...... I don't understand......

I don't understand......

......

"Mo'er?"

Who's calling me? Who?

My head hurts!

The sound of exploding pain and calling woke Zhao Qingyan from his sleep.

Zhao Qingyan sat up suddenly, looked around with wide eyes, his face turned bloodless because of the fear left over from the dream, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead because of the pain.

The incense has not yet dissipated, and the rows of porcelain vases in front of him are still in their original positions, and there is no sound in the quiet room, quiet, only the buzzing in his ears due to headaches.

Zhao Qingyan raised his hand and touched his face, and his aching cheeks during the bath were accompanied by a little numbness after taking a nap, but there was no pain from a knife, but he felt pain to the bone.

What a feeling of unreality.

What a real dream.

"Mo'er, what's wrong with you?" King Huan was obviously frightened by his appearance, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.

Zhao Qingyan endured the desire to vomit brought about by the headache, reached out and touched the porcelain bottle where he had taken the medicine before, poured it into his palm, and rolled out three pills. Zhao Qingyan hesitated slightly, ate one grain, and the remaining two took back the porcelain bottle, and then asked King Huan, "Thirteenth uncle, what time is it?"

King Huan said: "It's almost time for dinner, I'll come over and take a look when I see that you haven't come down yet." ”

Is it already three hours?

Zhao Qingyan squinted, and drank a few sips of water to suppress the discomfort: "I'm a little uncomfortable, forget about dinner today." It's also troublesome that Uncle Thirteen came over on purpose, sorry. ”

King Huan looked at him a little worriedly and asked, "Is it really okay?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I'll grab a pair of medicine and decoction it after a while, it's okay, it's no big deal." Haoxu still has medicine on him, Uncle Thirteen doesn't have to worry about me. ”

King Huan looked around, but he didn't find the person who was with Zhao Qingyan like a shadow: "Where did he go?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head: "I don't know, I stopped when I came back, and I didn't pay attention to him." ”

King Huan looked at him distressedly, and smiled helplessly: "You call it a break? Get up a few steps to the bed, why do you lie on the table to sleep? Aren't you tired from sleeping?"

Zhao Qingyan moved his shoulders and said with a light smile: "I just have a headache, I just want to take a few pills and just rest a little, who would have thought that I would fall asleep? And I slept for so long." ”

King Huan nodded, looked at Zhao Qingyan's weak appearance, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and smiled: "Then ...... you rest?"

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes, but did not see the change in King Huan's face, and spoke almost at the same time as King Huan: "Uncle Thirteen came to me for something, right? I'm already much better." After speaking, he realized that King Huan was also talking just now, and looked up at him: "What did Uncle Thirteen just say?" ”

"Nothing. King Huan sighed secretly and sat down opposite him, "It's your intention to attack the Ming Palace this time, and it's up to you to decide what to do after that." According to what you said, Luo Changxiu himself and most of his subordinates are in the dark palace, and his subordinates are in the various rudders. Now the Ming Palace has been laid, but in fact, it has not avenged you for that arrow. There are many institutions in the Ming Palace, and the guards may not have any results in searching. It's impossible to rush to the dark palace or clear the rudder. I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "The strength of the Ming Palace is much inferior to that of the Dark Palace, and it is only because Tang Xiaoyu opened the passage from the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Ming Palace to bring them in and take advantage of the surprise attack that he has a chance to win." How should I explain it more appropriately? There are only three ways to enter the Dark Palace. The Vermilion Bird Palace, which is responsible for assessing disciples, and the Xuanwu Palace, which is responsible for the defense of the puppet palace and guards the various checkpoints of the dark palace, are each in charge of a road. There are two more roads in the Suzaku Temple. The road you take that is responsible for assessment can only enter but not exit. The way we come out can only go out, not enter. Each checkpoint of the Xuanwu Hall has a unified signal, and as long as the palace master of the dark palace gives an order, it can be closed at any time. And once closed, it won't open for a month. These are the two main passages of the puppet palace. And the third, an abandoned road in the back mountain, has a fairly large number of small and medium-sized mechanisms. All the mechanisms in that path were closed and opened by a mechanical hub located underground, and it was almost impossible to disassemble or close them alone. ”

King Huan nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Zhao Qingyan said: "It is worth mentioning that the functions of these three roads are different, so the structure is completely different. For example, in the passage where we came out, all the mechanisms needed to be manually closed one by one, and after a quarter of an hour of closing, those closed mechanisms would open on their own. The passage of the Xuanwu Hall is divided into many roads for human traffic, mechanical beasts, carriages, and so on. And the mechanism on these roads uses the method of sectional switch. There will be a level at intervals, and the level will be separated by two sections. The organs on each section of the road are controlled by a single hub, and each section does not affect each other. In addition, there are some news of organs that are not usually opened, which are opened by the organs in the main hall of the Xuanwu Hall at important moments to strengthen the defense. For these reasons, the number of people entering and exiting the two passages of the Suzaku Hall and the Xuanwu Hall will be strictly controlled. So there is the emergence of a third way. ”

Zhao Qingyan thought for a while and continued what he didn't finish: "And the abandoned road mentioned before is a road for a large number of people to pass. The only way to close the mechanism on this path is to close it from the Hub. And the key to unlocking the center is not in the hands of the current palace master. The three most important keys of the puppet palace, the key to open the center of the mechanism of this road and several large defense mechanisms in the Qilin Palace, are called trap keys. The key to the storage room that stores a series of things such as the blueprints of the Dark Palace organs, samples of various hidden weapon mechanisms, martial arts cheats, and so on is called the cheat key. There are also records of the deeds of the puppet palace masters of various generations, and some of the puppet palace's rudders outside the palace that are controlled by the dark palace, etc., and these records are sealed in one place, and this key is called the key to the broken cauldron. The second key is in the hands of the contemporary Dark Palace Palace Master, the third is in the hands of Lu Wei, and the third should be in the hands of one of Lu Xi's younger brothers or his father's old department. Therefore, no matter what success or failure, Luo Changxiu wants to return to the Ming Palace, and there is only one way to the Vermilion Bird Palace. Tang Xiaoyu will help me kill him. ”

King Huan was a little fascinated when he heard him talk about the puppet palace, but when he suddenly heard his last words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he reacted: "So you mean, Luo Changxiu will definitely die?"

Zhao Qingyan bowed: "There is no doubt about it. ”

King Huan opened his mouth to ask something, but found that he couldn't ask, so he had to nod: "Well, you continue." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Taking a step back, if Luo Changxiu comes out, then facing the Ming Palace, which is already empty, he is also equivalent to a bird with broken wings, and there will be no longer any threat." Whether it is Luo Changxiu, who may survive but has lost an arm, or the rudder who is dying and struggling, the dark palace of the puppet palace will deal with it, so we don't have to worry about the future. Now we just need to go to Uncle Huang and tell Uncle Huang that the puppet palace and the Ming Palace have also been purged, and the real murderer who killed Lord Bao has been ambushed. ”
