Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Rank, to put it mildly, we are all people with shadows, if one day you get up and suddenly your shadow is half missing, then how will you react?

Ulan only felt the cold swishing on the back of his neck and swishing straight into the cold wind, and the shadow on the wall that was missing half of his body also trembled, the older generation of superstitions said that the shadow is the soul of a person, and the shadow missing half of it is a bad omen, I am afraid that the soul expected the doom of the killing, so he ran first. And there are such records in ancient books.

Before Ulan came back to his senses, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves trampling snow on the street outside the window.

Through the reflection of the snow outside, Ulan vaguely recognized the origin of the carriage.

It turned out that the carriage was not Beppu, it was the car of the current imperial court to worship Qiao Zimu, because the distance between the Ulan family and Qiao's house was not too far, and I could often see Lord Qiao passing by in a car, so I recognized it.

But it's not dawn yet, where is Master Qiao going?

Our previous document mentioned the section of 'Qiao Zimu watched the stars at night and gave birth to a demon fetus in the royal city', and he was on his way to the royal city at this time.

And how did Ulan know what the consequences of Qiao Zimu's entry into the palace this time would be. However, the uneasiness in her heart became stronger, because the monk's revelation was fulfilled once again.

New stars appeared in the sky, the sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night, and shadows on the walls...... Isn't that disaster is really coming!?

The more Ulan thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes, what she is afraid of is nothing else, what she is afraid of is that the unborn child in her belly will suffer accidents, no matter what, let's hide first!

She hurriedly got up to pack up her clothes, and after putting the clothes and money on the money, she took the big white dog, and when the snow had stopped, she pushed open the door, and quietly got into the night with the big white dog.

The last few lines of the monk's revelation said, 'The Buddha is in the old temple in the north of the city'.

The old temple in the north of the city is known to Ulan, in the early years there was a temple dedicated to Mida on the back mountain in the north of the city, but in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and there are still people there to support them? The monks in the temple have long fled the wilderness, leaving only a broken temple and no one cares.

Who is the monk, Ulan didn't have time to think about it at this time, only said that his previous predictions were true, so now she just wants to go and see what is going on, even if there is nothing to do, it is good, at least she can solve her doubts.

She can't give birth to anything if she thinks about it, but the fate of the world is far from being controlled by her, and what she should have given birth to is still born.

She was some distance away from the north of the city, and walked for nearly an hour by night, seeing that the sky was already bright, she went out of the city from the official road where the businessman walked early, but she had not gone far from the city, and suddenly an arrogant long voice came from beside her: "Hey, Sister Wulan, where are you going this morning?"

Ulan turned his head to look and saw a man sitting in a carriage waiting to enter the city, this person was the same slave merchant named Zhen Youyi, who had humiliated the monk in the market three days earlier, and was a homeless man who had fled here in his early years.

Tailor Ji helped him give him a lot of help when he was alive, and Tailor Ji didn't have a son, so he treated him as a son, hoping that he could be a good man, but who knew that he later started to be a slave trader.

However, since the heart of the flesh is long, there will be guilt, although he became a slave trader, but because of the help of the Ji family before, he is still a little in awe of Ulan, otherwise he would not have given up so simply three days ago.

Ulan was uneasy at the time, so he didn't pay attention to Zhen Youyi, just nodded at her, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the woods.

Zhen Youyi was bored, so he scolded, then spat on the ground and drove into the city, but as soon as he entered the city, his intestines were full of regret.

At sunrise, the king's command had already begun to be carried out. Qiao Zimu has already led troops to arrest all the people and livestock in the city, which is related to the change of royal power, so it is natural to act vigorously, and the soldiers of the whole city and the household registration officials have moved, and it only took an hour to press the pregnant women and domestic animals to the square in the royal city.

Qiao Zimu understood that the fact that he had done it was intolerable to heaven, and if the method was not right, it was very likely to lead to a mutiny. After all, Bingding Jujia also has a wife and children at home, but if he doesn't do it, his head will fall first, so he needs an explanation, a statement that everyone can accept.

In the square, people and domestic animals were huddled together, their eyes were full of fear and incomprehension, and they looked at Qiao Zimu who was high up, and they were also waiting for another explanation.

Qiao Zimu's statement had already been thought out, and he read the king's will aloud to the people and domestic animals in the audience. He said to them, "Last night the demon star appeared in our city, and the demon star turned into a demon and wanted to slaughter my souls. My Wang Sheng drove the sword to eliminate the demon, but the demon was cunning and escaped injured, and actually got into the belly of the person waiting to give birth to recuperate and wait for childbirth!

When Qiao Zimu said this, his voice trembled a little, and he swallowed and smeared, and then continued to shout: If this demon is allowed to be born with the womb, then tens of thousands of people in our city will not be able to escape for their lives! My king can't bear to live in misery, so the old man has to call the people in the city to give birth on behalf of my king!!

Qiao Zimu's tears had already fallen after he finished speaking, and not surprisingly, there was a sensation in the audience, and countless questions arose one after another, everyone cried and shouted Why is this, what kind of monster is so terrifying?

Qiao Zimu replied loudly, he said that this monster is rare to see in a thousand years, the king and the monster have been injured in the fight, and if the monster is restored, the people in the city will die, so.

So please sacrifice the ego to protect the ego.

For thousands of years, the invisible contract between the ruler and the ruled is based on the premise of survival, and sure enough, under Qiao Zi's tearful answer, some people have begun to waver.

This is the root nature of human beings, yes, after all, it is not your own family that dies, after all, the death of others can be exchanged for your own life.

Yes, isn't their death worth it?

So, under the loud vassal encouragement of the spies planted in the audience, the people compromised. Immediately afterwards, a shout was exchanged for countless shouts, and a slogan was exchanged for countless slogans. The desperate cries of man and the painful screams of domestic animals were drowned out by cheers and slogans.

On that day, thousands of pregnant women and poultry were disemboweled, and on that day, the heroic king was once again exalted to heaven as a saint.

The king, who was drinking in the city, yawned, and the king remained the same.

The lie has not changed, and because of this lie, the square has become a bloody purgatory. The blood of domestic animals and humans was mixed together, and it was red, and the formed fetus did not have time to cry. Bloody and pungent, some people began to vomit, while others were already dazzled by the hot blood.

Qiao Zi looked at this qiē without saying a word, but the embarrassment after ** made him at a loss.

Because so many pregnant women and domestic animals have been killed, but their afterbirths are all ordinary fetuses, except for some twin double yolk eggs, there is nothing unusual!

How is this possible?

The people with blood in their hands began to exchange their heads, but Qiao Zimu's heart was already clear.

These people, these domestic animals, have all been killed by mistake.

But wrongful killings cannot be said, and besides, the people need a reasonable reason, if not............

"It must be the one who conceived the demon fetus who ran away!!" Qiao Zimu shouted loudly on the stage: "This monster is too cunning, it must have run away! Everyone, think about it, who among your neighbors still has unmarried or pregnant animals! Quick, this is for the lives of all our people in the city!!"

The people began to talk to each other, and some officials lowered their heads, those who had no status and status had been slaughtered, and the women who could be left behind were all killed by the emperor's relatives.

It can't be said that it can't be killed, at least the pigs and sheep of the emperor's relatives have been sent out, and Qiao Zimu naturally knows that this is already their biggest concession.

Qiao Zi saw that no one in the audience was speechless, and finally couldn't sit still, he shouted loudly in his heart: "If anyone reports, my king will have a reward of one hundred taels and give him a knighthood for a lifetime!"

Zhen Youyi in the audience couldn't sit still.

In fact, many people in the royal city came with the mentality of watching the excitement, after all, whether there are pregnant women in their family, and their family will not have it next year, right?

Zhen Youyi thought of Wulan just now, but he didn't say it, after all, more things are better than less, and the Wulan family is indeed kind to him, and he can have today, it can be said that it all depends on her family.

I just said that people will be ashamed when they grow up, this is right, Zhen Youyi thought to himself that I would never do that ungrateful thing, damn me, I am so kind-hearted.

But that was just now.

Just after Qiao Zimu made the promise of official money, Zhen Youyi's heart was really shaken, and he thought in his heart: Mother, my heart is indeed too kind, how many years do I have to sell a hundred taels of gold as a slave in exchange? and the position of the official, this is something that can't be fought for a few lifetimes!

It's so easy now? No, no, no, think about how good Tailor Ji is to me, how can I hurt his daughter so much? But what does Tailor Ji look like? I can't remember. He's dead, yes, he's angry with his daughter.

Yes, I'm doing this to avenge him! Yes, it must be so, I'm angry!

It seems that people have to have an excuse for everything, Zhen Youyi's little eyes kept rolling, as if the glory and wealth were in front of him, and at this moment, he was awakened by a shout beside him, and the aunt shouted with golden eyes: "Master Qiao! I know that there is a woman who is pregnant with wild seeds and is not here! She is the daughter of a tailor shop named Ji Wulan!!"

Zhen Youyi's heart sank suddenly, and Qiao Zi hurriedly asked about Wulan's whereabouts after seeing the life-saving straw, but the woman didn't know.

Zhen Youyi saw that the opportunity had not gone far yet, where could he still take care of any moral kindness, so he hurriedly raised his hands and shouted in a hoarse voice: "My lord! I have lived in her house, I know where she is going!!"

His cry was so loud that it startled the flesh-pecking crow away again. The crow flipped its wings and soared into the air, skimmed over Zhen Youyi's head, and then flew out of the imperial city, there was its nest in the tree on the edge of the cliff in the north mountain, it flew back to the nest, and Ulan stood under the tree.

She was about to give birth, so the road up the mountain was extremely difficult, and it was easy to reach the edge of the cliff halfway up the mountain, she held on to the tree and gasped, and the big white dog beside her suddenly barked in the direction of the imperial city.

Ulan turned her head to see billowing black smoke rising from the city, and although she didn't know that the burning of corpses in the city was caused at that time, she also understood that this was unusual.

Seeing this scene, where did Ulan dare to delay? So he tried his best to go to the old temple on the top of the mountain. But as soon as she turned around, a sharp pain suddenly came from her abdomen, and she squatted on the ground.

She struggled to sit up, thinking that it was because she was pregnant for October and had to climb the mountain this morning, to say that giving birth to a fetus on this frozen barren mountain was undoubtedly a suicide, but Ulan was not sad, only to see her frowning, and then gently rubbing her belly, while whispering lovingly: "Child, it's okay, you will live." ”

When the big white dog saw that his master had fallen to the ground, he hurriedly snuggled up to her side to keep her warm, and by this time, the soldiers in the city and the people who had been 'exterminating demons' had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Zhen Youyi rode a donkey, like a great general in the crowd, he pointed to the mountain and shouted: "The demon woman is on this mountain! Let's catch her!"

The search for the mountains began, and the time for Ulan was getting less and less, and the big white dog began to bark vigilantly, and it seemed to be urging its owner to hurry up and start moving.

Ulan gritted her teeth and stood up, for the sake of the fetus in her womb, she endured unimaginable pain, the amniotic fluid was about to break, the sweat had soaked her clothes, and the cold wind blew like a scraper.

She walked towards the top of the mountain with difficulty, and the crowd searching the mountain was already close to the cliff.

She wished that her child would be safe, but fate played a cold joke on her here.

Just when she was about to see the ruined temple, the righteous people of the royal city had already appeared with her.

"The Enchantress is here!!" a man roared loudly like a treasure, the cry was very infectious, and before it had subsided, more voices had begun to sound.

Ulan was frightened, she instinctively ran forward, but was pulled by Zhen Youyi who came out of the grass, Zhen Youyi kicked away the big white dog that pounced and screamed breathlessly: "I caught her, I caught her!"

In the blink of an eye, the crowd quickly gathered there and surrounded it, and Ulan in the crowd looked at those people with murderous intent, and shouted loudly while struggling: "Let go of me, what do you want to do?!"

"Demon girl, you almost hurt the whole city!" The crowd parted, Qiao Zimu walked out panting, and when he saw Ulan at this moment, his heart settled down slightly.

The person who originally led the torrent is still submerged by the torrent and can only go with the waves, and Ulan is his last straw.

Just before Ulan could figure out the meaning of the word 'demon girl', the people, who had already been incited to the top, had already begun to curse.

"Demon girl, kill her, kill this demon girl!"

"It's all because of her that my daughter will die, she's a monster, she's a monster!!"

"It must be her, the child in her womb must be the demon seed! Otherwise, how could she not tell who the father of the child is?!"

"yes, crack her belly, pull her intestines out!"

The men in the prime of life kept scolding, and the older women scolded with tears, and many of them had been neighbors of Ulan.

Ulan struggled desperately, she shouted with tears in her eyes: "What's wrong with you? I, I'm not a demon girl, Zhen Youyi, you let me go!"

"Let go?" Zhen Youyi smiled: "Sister Wulan, I'm sorry, I did this to you for the safety of the people in the city, you have an unforgivable crime of being a demon fetus, do you know how many compatriots in the city have died because of you? How well they treated you before, don't you feel a little guilty?"

yes, how well they used to treat you. Your guilt for being eaten by a dog?

The onlookers applauded, they cursed loudly for Ulan's injustice, vowing to kill him to relieve the hatred in his heart, Qiao Zi saw that the time had come, so he stared at Ulan and shouted: "Demon woman, you colluded with the demon to conceive a demon fetus, if you don't get rid of you, heaven will not tolerate it, come, dig out the demon fetus for me!"

The people applauded again, and the frightened Wulan just wanted to say something, but she didn't expect her to open her mouth, and suddenly screamed, Zhen Youyi beside her trembled, and shouted loudly: "It's bad! This demon woman is going to give birth!!"

It turned out that the exhausted Ulan finally couldn't hold on after suffering such a severe fright, she fell to the ground and convulsed, and the fetus in her womb was finally about to be born.

And when the people saw that the 'demon fetus' was about to be born, they trembled with shock, and no one dared to step forward to stop it, after all, the 'monster' has the way to slaughter the whole city, who knows if it will suddenly be difficult?

Qiao Zimu thought badly, so he couldn't care too much, and hurriedly drew his sword and stepped forward to kill Ulan, and at this critical moment.

Suddenly, ten thousand points of golden light shot out from the trees in the distance!

The golden light was as dazzling as the morning glow, and the people covered by this light seemed to be immobilized and could not move.

Qiao Zimu's heart was shocked, he realized that there was still a master hidden in the woods, and at this moment, Wulan screamed, and then there was a cry in the forest.

The demon fetus is born!

Everyone present gasped, and the next scene made them even more unimaginable.

I saw that Ulan, who was about to collapse, trembled and picked up the baby, took off his coat and wrapped it, wiped his little face very lovingly, and the big white dog struggled to run and bite the umbilical cord for it.

The baby boy was very strong, crying loudly, and his body and limbs were like mortals!

This is just an ordinary baby! Where's the magic fetus?

And at this moment, a Buddha horn wafted in the forest, and a monk walked out of the woods slowly, it was the one who gave the message and Ulan.

The monk walked slowly into the crowd in the golden light, and came to Ulan's body under the gaze of the frozen people, he sighed, and then folded his hands and said to Ulan: "The monk still can't save you, do you still have anything on your mind?"

Ulan's eyes were always on her child, and although she also knew that she was sitting in a pool of blood, and if the blood could not stop, she would not be able to live, but the radiance of motherhood brought strength to her at this time. She looked at the monk and said to him with tears in her eyes: "Master, I understand, I can't wait for his father, but I believe that he will always come back, I just ask you to take care of my child, let him, let him live." ”

Her lips were white, and everyone could hear what she said clearly, and at that moment, guilt began to grow and spread in the hearts of the people.

Zhen Youyi began to fidget, he didn't dare to look at Ulan's eyes anymore, but in fact, Ulan never looked at him.

The monk nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of this child as an adult, you can go with peace of mind." ”

With tears in her eyes, Ulan thanked her, then removed a fish-shaped jade pendant from her neck tied with a red thread and hung it around the baby's neck. Then he hugged the baby, and his tearful face was pressed against the baby's little cheek, the baby was still crying just now, but at this time, he stopped, and he looked curiously at the fresh world, and the mother in front of him.

The mother was already crying, she said to the baby, child, I'm really sorry, my mother gave birth to you into this world, but she couldn't accompany you to go on. My child, my mother wants to hurt you so much, but my mother doesn't have time............ In the future, if you are depressed, if you are bullied, you will ...................

When she said this, she couldn't say any more, so she could only hold the child in her arms and kiss it again and again, and then hum the song of the cradle.

The song is very light, it is a whisper to welcome the arrival of life, and it is also an elegy before parting. Slowly the baby fell asleep, Ulan wiped his tears, and then fell asleep peacefully with the baby.

Everyone was full of questions in a little guilt, this child is not a demon fetus, what is going on?

At this moment, suddenly the scream of a crow came from the tree, the branches shook, and a crow's nest fell. Three of the four eggs inside shattered, and the only remaining egg began to tremble. The egg was staggeringly large, the size of two adults' fists, and after shaking a few times, the egg shattered with a clatter.

And what curled up in the egg stunned everyone.

The thing in the egg was a monster like never before, with a bird's head, no feathers, but teeth, and the most terrifying thing was its body, which looked like a malnourished baby, which was stained with egg liquid, and had begun to solidify into a foamy dirt when blown by the cold wind.

The monk was unmoved, but picked up the baby in Ulan's arms and turned away, he sighed to the sleeping baby in his arms: "Since you were born at the beginning of the collapse of this troubled world, I will call you 'Shisheng'." ”

With that, the monk hid into the woods, and then, the golden light dissipated.

The people regained their ability to move in an instant, and just when everyone was in shock, suddenly the monster born from the crow's egg suddenly burst out laughing.

Its laughter was like that of an old man, and when it looked at the people around it, it suddenly opened its mouth and laughed loudly: "Don't cry or make trouble, the chaos that should come will eventually come! You can't escape or hide, the cycle of cause and effect is retribution! How can indiscriminate killing win people's hearts, and the dynasty will be dispersed without a king." The death of the north is coming, and the world is in chaos. If you say so, you can't escape!hahaha!!"

Everyone was stunned, and Qiao Zimu was even more speechless.

After screaming the same thing three times, the monster suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood, and then died of exhaustion.

Leaving everyone to look at each other, this is the youkai? How did it die? Didn't it say that it was going to kill the whole city? How............ What does it just mean?

I'm afraid that Qiao Zimu is the only one who understands the meaning of this monster's words, at this moment he is in shock, and he is looking down to figure out what to do, and on the side, Zhen Youyi, who has come back to his senses, has already come closer, only to see him smile at Qiao Zimu and say: "My lord, the demon fetus is dead, what do you think we should do?"

Qiao Zimu nodded thoughtfully, and then called the officer who led the team to whisper a few words, and the officer nodded. Zhen Youyi swallowed and said, "My lord, look at that, when will my reward ............?"

Before he finished his words, the big white dog who didn't go on the side suddenly pounced like crazy, Zhen Youyi was defenseless, so he was thrown to the ground, the big white dog bit his neck with red eyes, no matter how Zhen Youyi hit, it was useless, after a while, Zhen Youyi's shout weakened, and he died straight with the dog.

This is exactly what this is: money is hard to buy, greedy for money and ungrateful, and lose your life. A person without virtue is not as good as a dog, and a loyal and righteous dog avenges the Lord.

Qiao Zi looked at this qiē from the side, but didn't pay attention to it, and just sighed after a while: "What's the use of staying with such an unrighteous person?"

"Lord Qiao, what the hell is going on?" exclaimed the people present.

And Qiao Zimu didn't pay attention to them, but just said coldly: "I've seen monsters, don't leave any of them." ”

On that day, many people died in the royal city.

In addition to the pregnant women who were slaughtered in the city, there were also those people who followed the army up the mountain to eliminate the demons, and legend has it that they were killed by the demon fetus born by the demon woman, and finally the demon fetus was destroyed by the sacrifice of Qiao Zimu.

Qiao Zimu brought back the corpse of the demon fetus, and in the evening of the same day, the king appeared on the city wall, tearfully reciting the sacrifice to appease the people and the souls of the dead.

Although things seem to have passed satisfactorily, and the days have returned to a lake of barren clear water, we don't know that there are undercurrents surging in the clear water, and even a small ripple will slowly form an endless vortex. Although the incident passed, the rumor arose, and that rumor was the truth of the day's events.

The truth is that the king killed more than he could count for the birth of a prophecy.

There is no way to find out where this rumor came from, maybe it is the people who escaped by luck, or maybe it is the officers and soldiers whose conscience cannot stand the condemnation.

These rumors intensified after the disappearance of Qiao Zimu in the Guantian Sacrifice, and the hungry and cold people began to brew a rebellion, and the dynasty was in danger.

Whether it is rumors or prophecies, perhaps this is just the first foot in the wheel of history.

That's all for the story of Wangcheng, and then let's talk about the monk, legend has it that Qiao Zimu personally led the team to find out when he slaughtered the people on the mountain, he didn't find any trace of the monk, but there were some clues in the broken temple on the mountain.

The statue of the god in the ruined temple has fallen, and the murals of the Bodhisattvas on the wall have long been dilapidated, but the image of one of the Bodhisattvas has attracted Qiao Zimu's attention. The Bodhisattva, dressed in a robe with his back to the crowd, seemed to be holding a baby, and next to the Bodhisattva, there were several lines of poetry, which read:

The heart is like a painter painting the world, and the five aggregates are full of hearts and minds.

Since the Buddha is good, all beings can be safe when they are good.

It is said that the mural was not like this before, and Qiao Zimu stood in front of the painting for a long time, and finally shook his head, and three days later, he disappeared.

Naturally, there was a broken temple in the rumors, so the people all said that it was the Bodhisattva's manifestation, and for a time the temple was very lively, and everyone came to ask for the Bodhisattva, to ask the Bodhisattva to eat with them without worry, and to ask the Bodhisattva to stay away from them from pain.

Most of them have seen the verses on the wall, and they may have really understood the meaning of it, and they worship the Buddha, but they don't know why.

They begged the Buddha for help, but they didn't understand who could really save them.

Maybe it's themselves.

After that incident, the snow fell again after a short pause, and so on and so on and so on and so forth, that next year, the wind would blow the green grass, and the grass would soon wither. The rings keep track of time, and the star in the sky shines brighter and brighter, until our story officially begins, which is twenty years later.
