One Sword Nine Ya

Needle drop can be heard in the vast hall.

The emperor above frowned, and everyone in the seat stretched their necks or leaned over to see what he would do.

Chen Weichen took a sip of his wine, and then found that the atmosphere was too dead, even his own actions seemed inappropriate.

He had no choice but to put down the glass and watch quietly.

He remembered that Mr. Xie was a well-known teacher who was known for his loyalty and integrity. When he was the head of Zhijian Academy in the past, he was even demoted several ranks because of offending his holy face, and became a lowly official who could not even go up to the court.

This posture is to admonish.

——But at this time, the Peach Blossom Banquet is different from the Chaotang.Full of clothes, or civil servants, military generals, or nobles and wealthy businessmen, admonishing under such circumstances would not save the emperor any face at all.

Xing Qiu sneered lightly, and said, "The emperor chose here because of his face. He doesn't have to die."

Chen Weichen looked at Master Xie, but shook his head, and said, "Look carefully, he is going to die."

Xing Qiu still had some disbelief: "Oh?"

I saw Mr. Xie facing the throne above, and took out an admonition badge from his arms: "My minister, Xie Yan, please cut down the official system, open the imperial examination, raise elite soldiers, change the old system, and change the new law."

Now that everyone is watching, even if it's just for the reputation of being admonishing, the emperor has to accept it and watch it.

Then a eunuch took it and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the scroll and read it, but his complexion became worse and worse. Halfway through the reading, he threw the admonition in front of him: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

When Long Yan got angry, everyone fell silent.

Only Mr. Xie raised his head proudly, and looked at the unfriendly emperor: "Today, our dynasty is rotten to the point of decay. If we don't change the law, it will be difficult to return to heaven."

The emperor looked down at the people below, forced himself to hold back the anger when he saw such intense words as "the image of a subjugated country" and "how different from a foolish emperor" in the remonstrance, and said: "Now it is Qingping, the capital is prosperous, not inferior to the past , Ai Qing is too worried."

The emperor probably knew this kind of literati, and knew that they liked the reputation of "dead remonstrance", and the next thing to do was to express their feelings and hit the post.

However, the more upright the admonisher is, the more stupid the emperor appears to be.Bumping the pillar—this is absolutely impossible, he winked at the eunuch beside him, the eunuch bent down and left quickly, and gave the order to make the guards stand ready, and if he found any bad signs, he would immediately use the crime of disrespect in front of the imperial court Hold people down.

"The prosperity of the capital stems from heavy Fu, and the world is peaceful, but it is partial security. In 20 years, there is no need for foreign enemies to invade, and our country's power is almost exhausted."

The word "Pian'an" was really harsh. The emperor took a few deep breaths and repeated "Ai Qing's worries" again: "Now I have natural dangers outside and fertile land inside. I will recuperate. In the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Xie knocked heavily on the head, his voice was dull, and blood oozes from his forehead.

"Your Majesty," he said word by word, "those who make peace with the world are not in danger if they are in virtue."

Throwing the word "no virtue" on the emperor's head, he completely ignored the emperor's swollen face, and kowtowed again, dripping with blood.

The emperor's chest heaved violently a few times. The chief guard looked at his face and knew that it was time to share his worries for His Majesty, so he shouted: "I am disrespectful in front of the imperial court, and you are bewitching the crowd, be bold!"

So he took a group of men to the center to take them down.

—but was overwhelmed by the horrifying scene.

I saw that Mr. Xie slowly closed his eyes, two lines of blood and tears slid down!

"Your Majesty," he said in a sad voice, "Your Majesty, listen to my words—"

On the table where Chen Weichen was, a group of outsiders all froze.

Xie Lang whispered: "This is..."

The head guard yelled at his subordinates: "What are you still doing in a daze!"

"My lord..." one of his subordinates stretched out his hand, tremblingly said: "Look over there."

The chief guard looked at the finger and was also surprised.

At the same time that line of blood and tears slid down, Lord Xie's ten fingertips were also bleeding. The blood dripped down the jade steps, and suddenly spread wildly.

Not long after, the crystal white jade steps turned into blood jade steps.

But the spread of blood still didn't stop, centering on his body, spreading out like ripples.

The guards really didn't dare approach the weird bloody beach, and were even forced to retreat a few steps.

The crowd was horrified.

The emperor was unsteady, fell backwards, took a few breaths, and looked in the direction of Xing Qiu: "Master, this, this is..."

Xing Qiu let out a soft "Hey", stretched out his hand, and grabbed that place in the air, slowly closing his fingers.

Following his actions, the momentum of blood spreading decreased a little, and everyone's surprised eyes turned to the national teacher again—an admonition turned out to be such a treacherous scene.

When the emperor saw that the national teacher was really powerful, he felt at ease and shouted: "Xie Yan, you actually use magic tricks!"

Before he finished speaking, Xing Qiu's face changed, and he quickly withdrew his right hand as if on fire.

The bloodstain writhed as if it was alive, and broke free from its restraints, creating waves like a sea of ​​blood.

Xing Qiu frowned and looked at his hands, while Xie Lang was thinking hard.

But Ye Jiuya said in a deep voice: "It is recorded in the fragments of the heavenly scriptures that Confucianism originated from witches, offering blood sacrifices to the heavens and the earth as a 'sacrifice' has the power to win luck."

Chen Weichen asked him: "How to use this method?"

"The place where the literary spirit gathers, the most sincere and sincere heart, and the secret method of 'sacrificing the body'."

The location of the Peach Blossom Banquet is very particular, and there are many civil servants in the seat at present, and folk scholars and talented scholars also gather here, it really is "a place where literary spirit gathers".

"But he is a mortal, how would he know?"

The two looked at each other, Ye Jiuya said, "It's Senior Chi."

Chen Weichen also remembered the previous sentence "wait and see what happens".He sighed: "Since she was the one who disturbed the dynasty's luck, we had no choice but to watch obediently—fortunately, what we have to do is the same as hers, otherwise who can count on this old hag?"

Seeing the sea of ​​blood churning with Mr. Xie at the center, the emperor felt horrified, and his voice trembled: "National, national teacher..."

Chen Weichen touched Xing Qiu with his elbow: "Don't worry about it."

Master Guoshi raised his eyes to look at the obviously darkening sky outside: "That's right, I don't have the ability to do this anyway."

He Shi Shiran got up and went to the emperor's throne: "Your Majesty, this is God's will."

The emperor's face turned pale: "God's will—what should I do?"

As soon as the words fell, the white light flashed, and there was a loud thunder outside, which was shocking.

The cold wind blew open the windows with a bang, and the rice paper used for writing poems on nearly a hundred tables and banks was blown up, and the paper pages were flying all over the hall, just like the paper money scattered in handfuls during a funeral.

"The only plan now is that your Majesty pretends to accept advice, change the new law, and issue an imperial edict to sin against yourself. The minister took the opportunity to show the auspiciousness of heaven to show His Majesty's sincerity and God's will. You can take this opportunity to enshrine Zen to calm the hearts of the people." Xing Qiu said seriously.

The emperor seemed to be grasping at a straw, and nodded again and again: "The national teacher has a good opinion."

Lord Xie suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the king sitting on the seat.

Perhaps the ancient method of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth made him have sharp eyes and ears at this time, and he could hear the whispers there.The expression in his eyes changed from grief and indignation to sorrow, from sorrow to indifference, and finally became hopeless.

The hall was resplendent and magnificent, and it was so prosperous that the guards were in a mess. The doors were closed, the windows were closed, the scholars stretched out their hands to catch the papers that had been blown away by the wind, and the ministers shrunk their necks in the cold wind.

The young Taoist priest in gray robe held Fuchen in his arms: "You can even see the small path now, the energy here is exhausted."

Chen Weichen sighed, and looked at the ministers, most of them bowed their heads and tails, but there were also some people who stared at Master Xie with red eyes.He looked around among the scholars again, and saw Zhuang Baihan's body trembling slightly, his fists clenched tightly, letting the pages fly away in front of him.

The eunuch helped the emperor step by step down the high platform, and standing on the edge of the bloody beach, the emperor forced a smile: "Thank you Aiqing for your advice, it benefits the country and the people, Aiqing, please come up—"

Master Xie suddenly laughed softly, and the laughter became louder and louder.

"If I had known today, I would rather die in the flames of war!"

His whole body was drenched with blood, and his voice hit the ground like gold and stone.

"Today, I have a broken body, and I am willing to die for the world with my body, to eliminate the demon atmosphere, and to restore justice!"

Chen Weichen remembered that when he was in the Demon Realm, Ye Jiuya said that the ancient saying of Jiange is the third, that with sincerity, gold and stone can be opened.

I saw the air machine in the main hall churning, setting off a stormy sea.Mr. Xie used a mortal body to arouse the true energy of the heavens and the earth, and when the mountain rain was about to come, the purple golden clouds were transpiring, vaguely taking the shape of a dragon.

I don't know what method Chi Juntian used to get in touch with Mr. Xie, and let him know about such a sacrificial method handed down from ancient times. However, if this person hadn't really had righteousness in mind and was able to sacrifice himself for the suffering of the world, it would have been impossible anyway. .

It can be seen that there are traces to follow in the rhetoric that all laws are unified.

just, just—

Ye Jiuya looked out the window at the purple gold clouds that only they could see: "It is written in the heavenly scriptures that in the prehistoric times, there were only countries and no dynasties. Every country worshiped thousands of people every three years to solidify their luck."

"In this way, the martyrdom of Mr. Xie will strengthen the luck of the dynasty?"

Ye Jiuya shook his head: "If he thinks about being loyal to the monarch, he will naturally strengthen the luck of the dynasty. If he thinks about the people of Li, his luck... will go to a place that benefits the people of Li."

On that day, at the Peach Blossom Banquet, Xie Yan died admonishing, blood splashed on the white jade steps, arousing visions from heaven and earth.There are different opinions in the market, and the saying that "the Southern Dynasty is approaching, and the punishment from heaven" is the most popular. The emperor was furious and killed dozens of people.

The next day, the emperor issued an imperial edict to pardon the world, and Jia Enke.On the day when the imperial edict was issued, there was a giant purple bird hovering above the palace, and they left at dusk.Master Guoshi said that His Majesty was deceived for a while, his policy was improper, and he lost his sanctity. Fortunately, Mr. Xie gave a deadly remonstrance.Now that it has been corrected, it has moved the world, and the birth of the phoenix bird is a sign of auspiciousness.

The emperor was overjoyed and ordered to choose an auspicious day to enshrine Zen to thank heaven and earth.

A purple bird perched on Xing Qiu's shoulder, and entered the gate of the Chen residence with ease.

Ye Jiuya was practicing sword in the courtyard, when he saw Xing Qiu, he nodded his head slightly as a courtesy, and continued to practice sword.

His sword is sharp and sharp, and his sword energy is bitter. Even in the beautiful scenery of spring, it is like a wind blowing snow and a glacier cutting off the flow, making the viewers tremble.Xing Qiu looked at the side with interest for a while, and felt that he was a little scared when Ye Jiuya drew the sword, so he slipped into the study quietly.

Chen Weichen was reading Buddhist scriptures, and when he saw him coming in, he raised his eyebrows: "Master Guo Shi came here with a phoenix bird, I'm so excited."

Xing Qiu put "Phoenix Bird" on a shelf beside him, and sat next to Chen Weichen. When he saw the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, he frowned in disgust: "It's like a bald donkey, burn it."

Chen Weichen glanced at him helplessly: "What are you here for?"

Xing Qiu stretched, and leaned softly on his shoulder: "There is nothing to do."

Chen Weichen pushed him, but did not push.Thinking about how majestic the Devil Emperor was when we first met him, I never thought about it, he seems to have no bones - if there is a tree, he will lean against the tree, if there is a wall, he will lean against the wall.On weekdays, being served by Meiji, it's nothing more than leaning on the red and nestling in the emerald green, but she also leans on herself when she sees her.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked.

Xing Qiu lazily said: "I have lived for so many years, and I have practiced and practiced, but I have not cultivated anything. I just feel that it is very boring to be alone."

Chen Weichen slapped the Buddhist scriptures on his face: "Then go find your monk."

Xing Qiu took down the Buddhist scriptures, read a few lines, and sighed: "The monk himself will become his Buddha, so I won't offend others."

While playing around, a servant came over and said, "Master, I heard the news."

Chen Weichen pushed the unscrupulous Demon Emperor aside, and said, "Speak."

"I asked the maidservant of the Xie Mansion, and learned that Mr. Xie always goes to Luozi Lake in the suburbs of the city these days."

"Luozi Lake?"

"Just to the south, there are two mountains to cross."

"Lead the way." Mr. Chen glanced at Xing Qiu who was frowning and reading Buddhist scriptures: "I want to find someone, will you go with us?"

Xing Qiu nodded: "Okay."
