Chapter 61: The Remnant
The two took advantage of the darkness of the night to walk to the Yanjiao forest area, and Ah Lu looked at Dong Junqin and asked, "Are you going to Tianqing, or are you going to Luozhou?"
Dong Junqin smiled: "How do you know that I want to go to Luozhou?"
Ah Lu snorted smugly: "Of course I do. Are you afraid of affecting your family, aren't you afraid of affecting Mu Zhufeng, I heard that the grading of the Azure Realm has not yet ended. It's too dangerous to find a living person to help you, and if you look for a dead person like me, don't you have no worries?"
Dong Junqin smiled but said nothing.
Indeed, the killer "Qingjun side" three times, only Ah Lu survived.
They did this because they didn't want Dong Junqin to investigate. But since you don't want him to check, why don't you just attack him?
In this regard, Dong Junqin's guess is that the other party can't move him, at least not yet.
This is very interesting, he is just a doctor, and he is a medical immortal to put it mildly, and then he is the son of an imperial merchant. But so what? What can't be moved?
Unless he moves, he will alert others. Dong Junqin thought about it, this person can only be Chenyang.
All things, from the rebellion of the family to the destruction of the Song Mansion, Dong Junqin and Song Jiyue are not considered to be witnesses, but they are affected by the follow-up of these events. And in addition to the two of them, among their peers, the same is true of Chenyang.
Chenyang is different from Dong Junqin, he was born in the palace. Since Emperor Xuanning ascended the throne, he has lived a terrified life every day, and he is also a neurotic father to his children. Chenyang had complained before, and even said that if he could, he would like to stay in Azure all the time, and he didn't want to go back to inherit the throne. It can be seen how tense the atmosphere in this palace is.
And Chenyang's teacher is the notoriously rigorous and old-fashioned Prime Minister Xiahou. The Xiahou family is considered a branch of the imperial family, and their clansmen reigned at all levels of official positions in the past. And now the father of this prime minister is the crown prince who assisted the emperors of the three dynasties. During the rebellion of the family, he was a person who would rather sacrifice himself to protect the unification, which can be described as a loyal and good man in the past generations.
Chenyang grew up in such an environment, and he would only think more than Dong Junqin. Coupled with his childhood friendship with Chenyang, the Dong family's kindness to him, even if he was embarrassed because of Dong's mother, Dong Junqin could be sure that once something happened to him, Chenyang would definitely not let it go easily.
Therefore, this person hiding in the shadows must also be someone who understands Chenyang, and may even be an important minister of the imperial court.
But it's still that question, who is dissatisfied with the royal family, dissatisfied with the Azure Baiyuan Immortals?
The general trend of the emperor has gone, that is, there are more than the party, and revenge needs to go around such a big circle? Or do they think that the Changshengtai is just a decoration, and they can make a comeback by hiding in the capital?
After listening to Dong Junqin's question, Ah Lu asked: "Is there anyone who did not participate in the rebellion, but who benefited from the rebellion of the family?" and after the rebellion of the family, although he was not punished, he could ......?"
Before Ah Lu finished speaking, Dong Junqin immediately thought of someone: "Yes!"
Former Tobe Shangshu Yu-sama.
Dong Junqin: "He is related to the former Empress of the former Dynasty, that is, the Empress Rong of Emperor Xuanning's father. Before the Emperor Fu Li's rebellion, he was very close to them. After knowing about the water caustic grass, he colluded with the merchants and exaggerated the medicinal effects of the water caustic grass everywhere, making a lot of money.
When Huangfu rebelled, he instigated people from all walks of life to cut off the water and hide the source of grass to show his loyalty. In fact, it is to press the water hidden grass in the hands of its own merchants, waiting to sell it at a high price.
Who knows, after the end of the rebellion, a group of righteous soldiers died of fire poison and no one spoke. Bai Yuan Immortal couldn't stand it, so he connected this matter with Huangfu Liyou and mentioned it. Emperor Xuanning symbolically dismissed several elderly officials. ”
Aru: "Symbolic?"
Dong Junqin nodded: "This is very complicated, anyway, they control the finances of the imperial court, and they have something to do with the Rong family, Emperor Xuanning is submissive, and they are afraid that the investigation will be too ruthless, so they collectively dismiss the officials, incite ignorant people everywhere to make trouble, and finally change the entire royal family." ”
"Okay, I don't understand. Anyway, it's just mercenary. Then do they have a grudge against Miss Song's family?"
Dong Junqin: "It can't be considered a feud. It's just that the official who presided over the recall trial at that time was from the military department, and he was brought out by Ji Yue's father. And after the confiscation of those people's private banks, half of them were used for military funds and salaries. ”
Alu: "Are you still alive?"
Dong Junqin shook his head: "I've died early." But they all have children, and some of them are still serving in the imperial court. And the officials and businessmen colluded, the officials were dead, and the businessmen were still there, and some were people who wanted to help them take revenge. ”
Alu: "Nanqin said that the incubation period of the demonic qi of the ancient demon spirits can be as long as several decades. Boss Xu can kill an innocent woman for his daughter, and if their descendants borrow a little demonic power, they are likely to kill for money, right?"
Dong Junqin nodded.
Killing for money may be more common than Boss Xu's motive for killing.
When he went home before, Uncle Zhang reported to him the follow-up of the seven-petal leaf insect plague, saying that there were indeed a few strange travelers in the upper reaches, and he also went to the village chief to see what map, and the rhetoric at that time was to arrange the future travel route. Uncle Zhang thought that the trip was fake, and it was true to check the distribution of various waterways in Yanjiao.
Dr. Lu mentioned it when he was angry about his resignation from the University Fellowship of the Imperial Medical Department, saying that the businessmen born in the folk medicine shops in the Monk Pharmacy of the Imperial Medical Department were all led by Lord Yu.
They can watch the folk righteous people attack with fire and poison for the sake of money, and they can naturally buy murderers.
Shang Yaoju is stationed in the palace again, and no matter how secret the emperor's actions are, they can't escape their eyes.
And with their familiarity with the Huangfu party, it is easy to fake the remnants of the Huangfu to commit murder.
After Chenyang ascended the throne, the Monk Pharmacy of the Taiyi Department had a big blood change, and the top position of Chongcaotang completely cut off their financial route, can they not keep an eye on Dong Junqin? I'm afraid they are waiting for him to make a mistake every day.
It's just that why did they leave Song Jiyue for the killers they sent? Could it be that Emperor Xuanning had long known about the jackals, tigers and leopards around him, so he also installed his own people?
Symbolic, by the way, he has always known very well how much mud there was in the court at that time, but he didn't dare to risk his life to investigate to the end.
Pity the Song family, pity Jiyue......
Seeing that he was frowning again, Ah Lu patted him and said, "Don't think about it, the court is so easy to think clearly." Anyway, check it out from here first, it's just right if you have clues, and it doesn't matter if you don't. Do you remember the names of those adults?"
Dong Junqin nodded: "But if you ask so much at once, will the bald be willing?"
Ah Lu smiled: "If you don't want to, find a way to make him willing!"
Bald was in a panic when he saw Ah Lu, and when he saw Dong Junqin, he immediately rushed up: "You, you, you!" How many times have you said it, and you took him down again!"
Alu always eats and does things, and directly skips this question and says to Bald: "Bald, last time you said that the Song family was wiped out, but I still saw a lively Song family in the yang world." Are you mistaken?"
When they first met, they were first living people, and when they were suspected, they said angrily: "Impossible, they were all wiped out on the spot!"
Ah Lu heard him shout, and he himself shouted in front of his subordinates: "Impossible, I saw with my own eyes, the youngest daughter of the Song family is living in his house now!
The two parties argued, and for the sake of face, they brought Ah Lu and Dong Junqin to the Netherworld Study.
The Song family's book of life and death, to be honest, Dong Junqin can't understand it at all.
Ah Lu said proudly: "Living people naturally can't understand it, this is a ghost text." But...... Bald, you're right, isn't it? Why are you so simple?"
Bald was not angry, and roared: "Do you think that you have to write even eating, drinking, and Lazar!
Ah Lu disliked: "That's too simple, isn't it? Just a few events? Doesn't it mean that the number of people's lives is written by you?"
Bald Yang Tian was speechless: "Who did you listen to? Are living people blaming us for doing bad things themselves, and getting retribution? This book of life and death only records some great calamities that must be experienced, as well as life expectancy, and nothing else." What life is like depends on the freedom of the living. ”
Alu sticks out his tongue, play freely, play freely, what to roar.
But when she finished flipping through the Song family's book of life and death, she did find that Song Jiyue's state was in ashes.
Ryu: "Could it be that someone is mistaken?"
Bald propped his head and said, "Miss, as I told you, the Book of Life and Death and the Yuan Spirit are mutually induced! Unless it's like you, who trapped the Yuan Spirit, the damned ones didn't die, and the ones that should be destroyed didn't die. ”
Dong Junqin and Ah Lu looked at each other, so Song Jiyue was glanced at by that killer, and Yuan Ling was trapped?
Alu: "That's okay, then if you don't want to die, wouldn't it be good if you trap your own spirit in your body?"
Bald and sneered: "Are you stupid! Yuan Ling is trapped, people are alive, but the body will not be better! Do you really think that it is better to die than to live? And do this, when you go to the netherworld, the ghosts are a pair, hey, why did you die? Oh, it turns out that the forbidden spell was cast? Oh, take it to hell and boil it, if you really can't betray to the demon world, then we ghosts will not care about you." ”
Alyu: "It's not fair, what if you were forced to do it and didn't do it yourself?"
Bald said: "Forced, then when it goes down to the ghost realm, it will have to cultivate for a long time before it can gather its soul." The same will be sinned. But this Song Jiyue, I think the possibility of being forced is very small, she has been reincarnated three times and died early. I guess I want to live a long life, hey, if you go back and see her again, persuade her not to ban spells, her fate has been decided. ”
Ah Lu can't stand the sentence that the fate has been decided, the fate has been decided, why is she still a remnant soul without a primordial spirit? Who set it for her?
So Ah Lu was unwilling and turned out all Song Jiyue's life and death books. It doesn't matter if you don't turn it, it's a fright, it's a fate to die early when you enter reincarnation from the beginning of Song Jiyue, although it slowly gets longer after that, but if there is no evil demon interference in this life, you are only thirty years old.
Ah Lu looked at the bald angrily, and the bald was also surprised.
Ah Lu: "Look, let's just say that you are not doing well! What is the situation! Why are you only twenty months old in the first life? Later, two, three, six?! She has a grudge against you!"
Bald herself was also anxious, looking back and forth, and said while watching: "Impossible? Looking at her Yuan Ling record, she is the first batch of human beings, it will not be so short, the first batch of human beings will live to be at least twenty years old." ”
Ah Lu narrowed his eyes and pointed angrily at the person next to the first life: "Who is this ghost!
Bald didn't recognize this payment, and instead found another scholar.
The ghost of the study room looked at it for a long time before saying: "Ah, this is the subordinate of the Yin and Yang God, who went to the god realm tens of thousands of years ago to return to the ruins, and he couldn't find it." ”
A drop of sweat was bald, but he felt Ah Lu's gaze that was almost spitting fire, and asked cheekily, "Then why did you give this Yuan Spirit such a short lifespan?"
The scholar looked over and said, "Oh, it's a little short. It's probably because her Yuan Ling is too weak to last long. ”
Bald: "Is this and this?"
The ghost of the scholar: "Okay, why not? At the beginning of the mortal realm, it was very chaotic. So many spirits, after the chaos of gods and demons, it is normal to be damaged. I remember several seniors saying that at that time, some remnant spirits insisted on reincarnation, and they could only forcibly piece them together. This kind of made up of the Yuan Ling seems to be complete, but in fact it is divided, and it is all short-lived. Therefore, other primordial spirits have been reincarnated six times in humanity, and she has been reincarnated more than a dozen times, that is, it takes time for the remnant spirits to completely merge with each other. ”
Bald: "No, I've heard that the original spirits all passed through that stone cave and were repaired before entering the netherworld. ”
Scholar's ghost: "Yes, it's going through a stone cave." But didn't I tell you last time, that the caretaker of the cave was called back to heaven for some time. His divine envoys did not guard against the demons, so they affected a group of spirits. So in the end, the Yin God ordered him to destroy the stone cave. Isn't it just that the demon clan is afraid that the demon clan will use the stone cave to restore the state of the spirit, blend into the netherworld, and turn into the mortal realm? ”
Bald asked here, the scholar was already impatient. He didn't dare to bother him any longer. But on the side, Alu is also very terrifying. He said in a trembling voice: "Eh, Alu, don't you have someone else to ask? Who is it? I'll help you get it?"
Ah Lu almost gritted his teeth and reported a list of names.
