Chapter 21 Chu Ying's Soul Reappears in the World

Walking to a fairly clean brick and stone courtyard, Feng Chen parked the carriage aside, and let Bai Zhen wait behind him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He first stepped forward to ask if he could stay, and the moment he pushed open the firewood door, he only heard an old and jerky voice from the house: "Who!" Feng Chen was shocked, but he also tidied up his clothes and walked towards the courtyard, the brick and stone courtyard was reflected by the sunset like blood red, a fairly capable middle-aged man sat on a big stone and fiddled with the bamboo strip in his hand, Feng Chen looked sideways, there were dozens of coffins in this big courtyard, the middle-aged man asked: "Little brother, are you lost?" Feng Chen cautiously replied: "Big brother, I don't know if there is an inn here?" The eldest brother put down the bamboo strip in his hand, pointed to the entrance of the village and said: "Go out from here, walk for half a day, and you will have it when you arrive in Shengjing." "We are very small in this fort, there is no inn. Seeing that the two had not negotiated for a long time, Bai Zhen gently pushed the chai door open and walked in, and asked politely: "This big brother, I don't know if I can stay here for another night?" Feng Chen pulled the corner of her clothes, and glanced at her side, obviously she also saw the dozen or so coffins placed in the courtyard. But Bai Zhen was not afraid to show fear on his face, but said lightly: "I just walked all the way, and I saw that there was no inn and wine shop in Taizihe Fort, so I had to trouble my eldest brother to be accommodating." The eldest brother put the bamboo strip aside, got up and welcomed the two of them into the house. When I walked in, it was empty, with no furniture except for a small wooden bed and a few freshly painted furniture. Then the eldest brother turned to the door and pointed to the grass shed next to him and said, "There are a lot of straws in here, and it used to be a place for many passing knights to stay." ”

Feng Chen thought that this eldest lady Bai was not used to living in this place, but who knew that she said yes in a loud voice, the eldest brother walked to the grass shed and removed the sundries, and said to the two of them: "If the two little brothers don't dislike it, they will be here for one night, and I will bring you another quilt." Feng Chen reacted at this time, Bai Zhen was wearing men's clothes, Bai Zhen walked to the side of the eldest brother and leaned down and asked, "Big brother, what are you using this bamboo strip for?" The silent eldest brother pointed to the back of the house, and the two of them were really startled when they walked around, and there were large and small wreaths piled up behind the house. Bai Zhen asked curiously, "Which family is this funeral that has passed away so many people?" The middle-aged man lowered his head and continued to weave the bamboo strips in his hand. Feng Chen carried the bedding into the carriage and shouted at Bai Zhen: "Brother Bai, you can sleep in the carriage tonight! The middle-aged man sighed and continued: "We were originally under the jurisdiction of the former prince Chu Ying, who fought on the battlefield all his life and made many exploits but died young. If he hadn't offended several brothers and ministers of the DPRK and China, how could they have impeached him together. In the end, after investigation, it was found that he had the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne, if he hadn't forced him, how could he have lost his life at the age of thirty-six. Feng Chen was stunned in his heart, this place is called Taizihe Fort, which turned out to be the old department of the former prince, but the execution of Chu Ying was not Nurhachi's wish, all the spearheads were pointed at Chu Ying, who intended to seize the throne, and no matter how good his military exploits were, he could not erase his ambition for power greed.

The middle-aged man picked up the bamboo strips that he had put aside, turned around and walked into the room and closed the door. Bai Zhen quietly approached Feng Chen's side and asked, "Could this man be the former prince Chu Ying's old department?" Feng Chen nodded in agreement. Feng Chen walked to the door, and was about to knock on the door to ask where he could find some food, when the door was also pulled open by the man with a lot of force, and the man walked out with a box of ashes. In front of the two of them, he said mysteriously: "This is the corpse of the prince Chu Ying, which has now been burned into powder, but fortunately, Mr. Materia Medica's kindness cast this ash in his medicine house for 7749 days, and this ash has become what it is today, it will not melt in water and will not be extinguished in fire." We guard here day and night, just wait for a lone star to fall on the bank of the Taizi River, scatter the ashes on the surface of the river, and we can recall the dead souls of the year. ”

Bai Zhen stared at the delicate mahogany brocade box with wide eyes, and asked cautiously: "Then what are you today?" I have already calculated the hexagram: "Today coincides with the fall of a lone star, and I will stay on the bank of the Prince River when the sun sets." Feng Chen hurriedly got out of the way and let the big brother pass, Bai Zhen followed behind the big brother and stopped talking, but asked shallowly: "You said that the prince Chu Ying, who fought in all directions, will come back to life?" The man nodded: "It's just that the soul of the dead will come to life and be pinned on the body of a person with a strong breath." Bai Zhen was about to catch up and ask again, but he was pulled by the dust.

Waiting for the middle-aged man to go out and walk away, Feng Chen whispered to Bai Zhen: "I think there is something strange here, these people don't look like ordinary rural villagers at all, but they have a bit of a martial arts family." Bai Zhen had an epiphany at this time, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think they will be the remnants of the abolished prince Chu Ying back then?" Feng Chen covered Bai Zhen's mouth: "At this time, you have to be very careful when you speak." Feng Chen jumped on the hut and watched the man's back leaving, and many villagers in Stone Town followed the man to the bank of the Prince River.

But Feng Chen couldn't understand why Li Bencao would save that Chu Ying's soul and refine the ashes in the Nadan furnace. I knew before that this Li Bencao was the imperial physician of the palace, but why did he suddenly leave the palace and get involved with this Jianzhou Jurchen, if he was ordered by the Ming court, why did he save the former prince Chu Ying. Feng Chen had doubts in his heart, if this prince could really be resurrected in the world, he would definitely be able to break through thousands of troops and return to Shengjing to seize the throne, and at this time, it coincided with the funeral of Nurhachi, and he could also take the opportunity to disrupt the plan of this emperor Taiji. While he was thinking about it, Feng Chen turned to Bai Zhen and said, "You wait for me here, I'll follow them to the river to have a look." Feng Chen flew up the branch in the direction the man had left, and flew between the trees with a tap of his toes. When he landed, he found that Bai Zhen had been following him.

Feng Chen hurriedly pushed her behind the tree, and hid with Bai Zhen from a distance to watch the people on the riverside. They were all holding lotus lamps in their hands, and there was a plate of incense stuck in the wick, and the man raised the brocade box in his hand and shouted: "Today, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come back and lead my Tong Jia clan to regain the glory of the past." As he spoke, everyone knelt down, and the sky was dark, and the red clouds that were still hanging in the sky were blown away by the strong wind. The sky suddenly became chaotic, and the rain was about to fall.
