Live broadcast: The female heavenly master slays demons and protects the Tao in the power plot

When Du Manzhi first glimpsed his life experience and called him "Sister Wei Qi", they briefly talked about Duke Dingguo.

When Wei Chenfeng was a child, he asked his old father-in-law: "If I had to choose between my family and my country, should I protect my family or my country?"

Duke Dingguo’s answer is worth pondering.

He said: It's all the same.

How could it be the same?

Under what circumstances is it the same?

His words can be understood as meaning that as long as you work hard, protecting the country is equivalent to protecting the family, and protecting everyone is equivalent to protecting the small family.

However, there is another famous unlucky guy in history who ended up being poisoned by the monarch because he failed to answer similar questions well.

The unlucky guy's name is Gao Changgong.

Because he said that state affairs are family affairs, his younger brother believed that he wanted to usurp the throne, and finally gave him a glass of poisonous wine to commit suicide.

Du Manzhi hissed and said to himself: "I thought you were reading a script about a beautiful and powerful villain, but I didn't expect it to be Hamlet..."

If she guessed correctly and the late emperor really had a child with Duke Ding, then the female official Fengyi whom the late emperor granted marriage to Duke Ding was most likely a shield and was specially sent to take care of the child on behalf of the late emperor.

The Dog Emperor is the legitimate son of the late emperor and the empress. He was probably born to the late emperor himself, and his father is unknown. Counting down from the line of the first emperor, the Dog Emperor and Wei Chenfeng are one generation apart, and they happen to have an uncle-nephew relationship.

Sharp eyes flew towards her: "What's so special?"

Du Manzhi would definitely not talk to him about Shakespeare's literary appreciation at this time.

"Oh, I said this insect is very energetic and energetic."

She tossed the bloodworm back to the ground.

The worm squirmed close to the soil under the cement, as if hesitating between the soil and Wei Chenfeng - old blood is more mellow but has dried up, while young blood is more fresh but not fragrant enough.

"Tsk, she looks quite ugly, but she thinks she's quite beautiful." Du Manzhi said contemptuously.

She looked at Wei Chenfeng questioningly: "Are you leaving?"

The biggest secret in the secret room has been discovered. If you dig deeper, you will only find ordinary soil. You will never find anything valuable. There is no need to come again.

Wei Chenfeng didn't answer, but tapped a spot with the toe of his shoe.

The density of blood worms in this area was obviously the highest. There were more than a dozen worms in the palm-sized cement block, slowly emerging according to his breath.

Du Manzhi felt a chill and pulled him behind him without saying a word.

"Are you trying to say that this is where the token was placed before?"

Wei Chenfeng: "Yeah."

"I feel more and more that tokens are not a good thing." Du Manzhi shook his head.

She tended to think of the token as a container for bugs, a breeding ground for them to crawl in and out of.

Taking advantage of the bug's characteristic that it only recognizes the blood of the late emperor, the secret guard can identify whether the person holding the token is qualified to give orders.

"No wonder the Dog Emperor doesn't carry it with him."

The bugs need the blood of the late emperor to remain active.

With the slenderness and flexibility of the blood worm, his entire body would become a mobile nest of worms.

The secret guard obviously understood his plight.

Therefore, before Du Manzhi raised his doubts, the secret guard commander Yuan Jing loyally protected the Dog Emperor and did not require the Dog Emperor to produce a token before issuing an order.

"So what is this bug? Do you recognize it?"

Wei Chenfeng shook his head: "I've never seen it before."

There was no expression on his face, and he cherished his words like gold.

Du Manzhi thought to himself that he was probably shocked.

As a bystander, it was difficult for her to truly sympathize with him, and she didn't know what exactly happened between the late emperor and Duke Dingguo, but what happened to Duke Dingguo's mansion was undoubtedly a serious injury to those involved.

If the late emperor and him were indeed related by blood, the psychological shadow would be even greater.

Wei Chenfeng didn't know who he should hate for a moment.

He had never met the late emperor, and everything he knew about her was based on other people's words and his own imagination.

There is no doubt that he admires a woman who has done countless things that men cannot.

But if she is not only a king, but also her grandfather's lover, and even his father's biological mother...

That would be such a dereliction of duty.

The imperial power she had worked so hard to obtain not only failed to protect herself and others, but instead became a talisman and a murderous weapon.

Her grandfather served with her for half his life, and in exchange for all the hard work, he was forced to retire and died unjustly in prison.

He didn't even know what the source of the disaster at home was.

Is it because the emperor and his ministers were jealous, or was it because the crown prince was afraid that the Wei family also had Zhan family blood?

Wei Chenfeng thought of the year he left Kyoto. He was sitting in a rickety carriage wiping tears. His parents' figures were getting smaller and smaller, and his grandfather's words were still echoing in his ears: "Calm down and live."

Did my grandfather guess it by then?

Why not prepare earlier, why not just do the opposite!

Wei Chenfeng was full of confusion and grievances, and no one could answer them.

The late emperor and his grandfather were the two people he admired most since childhood. The two lighthouses guiding him were crumbling in the waves.

If Du Manzhi was still just guessing, then with Wei Chenfeng, the answer was already determined.

Because he knew that his grandfather had an unruly nature and was not a fool who was so loyal and patriotic that he forgot himself.

Before his death, his grandfather made many orders, asking him not to harm anyone on the throne at any time.

Now that I think about it, I just find it funny.

He is not a good person. He is not afraid of bloodshed. He is just afraid that he will not be able to find an old friend when he looks back.

Wei Chenfeng returned to his residence in silence.

He was always happy to be clean, and he sat in silence for a long time with his dirty coat on his face.

At dawn, he made a decision.

There was a place he had to visit.

Stepping out in the wet dew, he suddenly heard a very crisp sound. He was slightly startled, paused, and then realized there was someone in the yard.

"How did you..."

Wei Chenfeng realized belatedly that she had said that she would come to him after changing her clothes.

Seeing that her hair was wet, whether it was from bathing or being wet by dew, Wei Chenfeng felt guilty and found it increasingly difficult to say anything.

Du Manzhi chewed on the oily and crispy braised pork pancake, which fell apart as soon as she chewed it. She loved this bite!

Hearing the door knocking behind her, she walked over naturally, handed him another paper package, and said with a smile:

"The market has just opened, and no one is trying to grab the first portion of the day from me. You used to entertain me, so I'll do it this time."

She urged him to open it.

"Eat, then let's go to the Duke's Mansion together after eating."

Wei Chenfeng opened the warm paper package.

A layer of honey was poured between the two bean-filled scones, and the faint scent of osmanthus spread with the heat, filling his slightly dazed eyebrows.

He was silent for a few seconds, his fingers tightening on the edge of the paper package.

"Actually, you don't need to wade into troubled waters."

Du Manzhi pretended to be surprised: "What? No, we've already found out this, and you can't bear to let me know?"

Wei Chenfeng: "...Don't say bad words."

"Okay, let me tell the truth." Du Manzhi rubbed his chin, "The Dog Emperor looks short-lived. At first I thought he should have one or two years left, but now it's different."

Wei Chenfeng's eyebrows jumped and he asked: "What's the difference?"

She smiled and said, "I can't say too much, but remember, if he has evil intentions, there will be evil consequences."

"Just think that the late emperor is using me to ask you to clean up the house for her."

……

Before arriving at Duke Dingguo's mansion, Du Manzhi had already noticed the overwhelming resentment.

The ancients liked to set the place of beheading in a crowded vegetable market, and the time should be controlled at noon, which is to match the favorable weather, place and people.

Use masculinity and righteousness to suppress the resentment of the deceased and prevent the soul from becoming a dangerous thing.

But when Duke Dingguo's mansion was slaughtered, not a single fly was allowed to fly out, and the place became a slaughterhouse full of blood.

The grievances and resentment of the victims were concentrated in every inch of the land, and their souls wailed day and night. The people of Kyoto living nearby said that they died unjustly.

The two of them got out of the tunnel and went out from the stable of the Duke's Mansion.

Everywhere you look, there are yellow talismans affixed to them, which have obviously been replaced in the past two months.

It can be seen that the emperor also knew that he was guilty and afraid, and he still sent people to suppress the injustice after all these years.

Du Manzhi picked up the talisman paper and looked at it carefully, then whispered: "There are two brushes."

This is not a way to resolve resentment.

To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be tied. The resentment of everyone in the Duke's Palace is tied to the emperor. Unless the emperor dies here, it will be difficult for everyone to let go of everything and reincarnate.

Of course the emperor refused to die, so he sent people to deal with the resentful souls here, with the purpose of killing them, and used spells to fight them for a long time.

After years of killing, the souls in the mansion may no longer recognize people, which means they will attack blindly.

If it wasn't the two of them, but ordinary people who came in, they would probably not get out alive.

Wei Chenfeng remained silent as his Yuanyang knife flew up and down, picking out one sheet after another. There were yellow papers cut everywhere by him.

This is definitely not the first time he has done this.

Du Manzhi picked up a bunch of yellow charms and tore them up as he walked, and suddenly asked:

"Did you forget something?"

"Ok?"

"Incense candles, paper money, food... you don't bring anything with you. Are you going to sacrifice this face to them?"

Du Manzhi's eyes looked like he was caring about a fool.

Wei Chenfeng turned away under her gaze: "...forgot."

"6."

The problem is not big.

She made good friends with Qin Feng, a money-grubbing man, and pinched a few gold ingots in her spare time. Now she had several bags of inventory in her hands.

There is no shortage of incense sticks either.

As for food, she patted her pockets. Fortunately, she was smart and bought two more packs of pies for lunch, both sweet and salty!

Wei Chenfeng was already accustomed to her behavior of conjuring things at random, so he handed her his bulging money bag, meaning to buy these things.

Du Manzhi was not polite to him either.

One yard for another, business still needs to be done. He is willing to give so much, which shows that her goods are worth so much, so there is nothing to refuse.

Along the way, they have attracted the attention of the resentful spirits.

The sky in Duke Dingguo's Mansion is dark, and the sun cannot shine into this forbidden land, causing the resentful spirits to come out and be active during the day.

Some are holding broken heads, some have severed hands and feet, and some are wandering around with weapons in their eyes... These are the generals and guardians who fought to the last moment.

The poor ones are the women.

There are people of all ages.

Some had white silk wrapped around their necks, some were holding the wounds of their broken arms and crying, some were singing while holding children whose brains had been thrown out, and some had their abdominal cavities punctured, with their intestines and umbilical cords dragging on the ground.

They are trapped in the Duke's Mansion and have no memory of their lives.

All living people are the same in their eyes, they are the only source of light and heat around them.

Unconsciously, dense gray shadows followed the two of them. Their feet did not touch the ground and they stared at them and drooled.

In the past, Wei Chenfeng came in by himself. He had a special physique, so the resentful spirits couldn't hurt him, and he couldn't see them, so the two sides didn't interfere with each other.

Now that he had opened his eyes, he could see clearly, especially when he saw some acquaintances he had known since childhood, and the corners of his eyes gradually became moist.

Du Manzhi just pretended that she didn't find anything wrong with him.

She restrained her breath, and like a reckless ordinary person, she scanned the entire Duke's Mansion to ensure that no soul was left behind.

After finding an open space, he lit what needed to be lit, placed the incense and candle offerings one by one, and then pulled Wei Chenfeng to retreat further.

The resentful spirits smelled the aroma and rushed over like crazy to fight.

The scene was chaotic, with screams piercing the clouds and the sun.

Wei Chenfeng tried to stop him several times, but Du Manzhi grabbed him and said firmly:

"There is a difference between yin and yang. This is their way of life. If you can't bear it, come to salvation with me later."

"……it is good."

The souls in the Duke's Mansion may seem fierce, but in fact they are easily lured because their resentment is hard to dissipate and they have not harmed anyone.

Not wanting to trouble her shady friends with this matter, Du Manzhi looked at the Fengdu Soul Hook and thought, send them all to the Fengdu Underworld.

She opened the passage to the Qing Palace and tried her best to diffuse Fu Tingjian's aura, attracting the Ningyu Fairy.

When she first saw this group of souls, Fairy Ningyu was also surprised and quickly called her sisters to send them to the next door.

Thanks to Fairy Ningyu's status and connections, a group of newcomers were quickly settled in Fengdu City.

When these souls whose grievances have gradually dissipated have calmed down, they can then determine which reincarnation they should go to based on their good and bad deeds during their lifetime.

After doing this, a beam of golden light suddenly shone down from the gray clouds, right at her feet.

Du Manzhi was tired and lay down on the stone steps to rest.

Shadows cover it.

She looked up and saw a beautiful face turned upside down.

"I owe you once. What do you want me to do?" Wei Chenfeng asked her.

Du Manzhi thought for a while: "Yes, you swear you will not hurt the people I want to train."

Wei Chenfeng said simply: "I can't, this doesn't count."

"Then I'll tell you after I think about it."

"it is good."

Coincidentally, the open space she selected as the most suitable place for worship was right in front of the ancestral hall.

The living often have taboos about matters of life and death, and the slaughterhouse did not disturb the peace of the ancestors of the Wei family on that day.

The ancestral hall is relatively clean, perhaps because Wei Chenfeng cleans it himself every time he comes here.

One of the purposes of their trip was to find something.

Wei family tree.

Wei Chenfeng opened three traps in a row and finally took out a camphor wood box from the wall behind the tablet.

This is what they are looking for.

As for why you are looking for it, let’s put it this way——

If Duke Dingguo and the late emperor had an affair, the late emperor's name would definitely be on the family tree!

As we all know, Duke Dingguo was a clean and self-sufficient man back then. After he became prosperous, when his comrades around him had many wives and concubines, he was the only one who managed to become an old bachelor.

The late emperor gave him the female officer Fengyi beside the queen.

Later, the female official became the wife of Duke Dingguo, gave birth to two sons, and was given a royal title in the palace.
