Peach wood

Shuhuai almost forgot that he had just touched the roast chicken, and was reluctantly escorted by the ghosts to wash his hands. Mo Yun didn't go with them, but sat at the table and read the book of life and death first.Regardless of Wen Yanzhi throwing it in, it is very precious and cannot be stained with oil, but Mo Yun thinks that the reason why it cannot be stained with oil is that Ming Jun likes to clean, and his nose is good, so it is easy to smell. Something is wrong.

There is nothing unusual about the things recorded in the book of life and death, but it is precisely these uncommon things that ordinary people always try to rewrite it.Shuhuai once mentioned some cases to Mo Yun, most of them were tragedies of mortals who lost their lives trying to refine the so-called elixir, but there are losers and there are winners, and those who succeed in extending their lifespan also exist, but such behaviors are contrary to the way of heaven. It won't be long before they will be taken away by Hades for interrogation.Those who deserve to die will still die, and the extra time they stole back is also evidence of the underworld's conviction.The stolen income does not belong to oneself, and will be taken back sooner or later. The person who owns it even for a while will have to pay for it. Unfortunately, mortals are blinded by petty gains, unable to see the stakes, and even complacent, thinking that I have concealed it from heaven and earth.These behaviors seem to be wisdom, but they are actually stupid, but most people in the world are fools, so there are not a few people who steal their lives, and the distinction is made only by the results.In fact, their success is not really a success at all, because they still fail in the end.

It's not easy to find people from the book of life and death. Mo Yun is not familiar with this kind of affairs, and he became dizzy after turning a few pages, so he put it on the table, planning to read it again when the book came back.He gnawed on the fruit bored for a while, and finally saw the figure of Shu Huai. He just washed his hands, and it didn't take too much time. This person was probably taken to the most remote area in the underworld to fetch water by the ghost, so he didn't leave until now. Back to the bedroom.

There are many ghosts in the underworld, and they are easily disturbed, so Mingjun does not allow Shuhuai to control the sword, and since Shuhuai demolished the bridge on the Styx 800 years ago, and was supervised by ghosts to repair the bridge for more than half a year, Shuhuai never again. Dare to make mistakes.For many years, he has been walking obediently on two legs in the underworld, and he is much more obedient than before. Although he is tired, at least no one can blame him when something is damaged in the underworld.

He just came over from the vicinity of the Styx River, and saw that the painted paintings on the bridge had been baked and faded. Evening Candle was pouting and waving a small brush. The fiery red clothes were dyed with many other colors, which looked gaudy and funny. very.She also experienced the crimes she had suffered once, and Shuhuai found it very interesting, but because he was afraid of the fire, he didn't laugh out loud on the spot.It's better to be good, follow the rules in everything, and you will never make mistakes. It is not advisable to take chances, after all, no one can say whether you will be the next one to have an accident.Think back when Wanzhu heard that Shu Huaixiu had crossed the bridge, she laughed at him a few times, but now she is squatting here holding a brush, how does she feel in her heart?

"Aren't you laughing at a hundred steps at fifty steps? You have done this kind of thing before - no, you are at a hundred steps, she is at fifty steps, you are more serious than her." Mo Yun listened to Shuhuai's description, He also felt funny when he imagined Wan Zhu's appearance, but he thought it was Shu Huai who was the funniest.Wanzhu just scorched the painted paintings. Compared with Shuhuai, her crime is obviously lighter. Mo Yun thinks the latter is more embarrassing than painting a painting and building a bridge.He thought so, but Shuhuai didn't think so, and even rebutted with reason: "I repaired the bridge willingly, without any dissatisfaction, but she was obviously dissatisfied with this punishment, she felt in her heart that she was not wrong, That's the biggest mistake."

"I think she pouted because she felt ashamed, and when you smile while building a bridge, it's because you are shameless." Mo Yun revealed, "I figured it out, my father used to praise you in front of me, what? A true hero, No. 1 in the Three Realms, is all out of protecting your friends, otherwise, if a child speaks without concealment, wouldn’t it be very embarrassing if he said something bad about you in front of you?”

The water on Shu Huai's hand was not completely dry, while listening to his speech, he searched for a cloth to wipe it, and stared at him when he heard the words: "I think you are not young now, and your speech is also unobstructed. If you were at that time If I say I am not in front of you, then I will never like you."

After speaking these few words, he paused, still feeling puzzled, snorted, and said sourly: "You have grown up and your wings have hardened, so you can no longer use Tongyan Wuji as a shield, but now you say I'm not good, that's called being outspoken. To be honest, I'm very angry. I've heard a lot of lies coming out of your mouth, but I haven't seen you praise me a few words. "

"You forget all those who praised you, and you hold grudges." Mo Yun got serious with him, turning up old accounts, "When I first met you, I told you how my father praised your character. Book of Life and Death, I just think you are unparalleled in style, a rare hero in the Three Realms, when did I say anything bad about you?"

"Of course it's not good to say a single sentence. Every time you say it, there are several sentences in succession." Shu Huai picked out the words deliberately, and before Mo Yun could refute, he stepped over to the table, grabbed a fruit and stuffed it into him. In his mouth, he forcibly blocked his unspoken words.Mo Yun muttered in a low voice, took a bite of the fruit, opened the book of life and death while reading, found the page of Yan Hengrui, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you find it so quickly? I just flipped through it too. , always confused, don’t know how to find it.”

"Want to know?" Shuhuai grinned, "You can't find it because you are stupid."

Mo Yun let out a "tow", wiped the sticky juice all over his face, and went to the corner to wash his hands. Shuhuai glanced at him inadvertently, and was shocked: "Is there a water basin here? You are not too early Say, it caused me to run so far!"

"You're so stupid that you didn't see it. Blame me?" Mo Yun was very proud of winning a round, Shu Huai gave him a supercilious look, turned his head and continued to look at the page in his hand.Mingjun has actually read this part about Yan Hengrui a long time ago, and the red pen on it is the sign that he has read this page. Shuhuai doesn’t understand that he has read it all, why should someone else read it again? Finding something unusual, she put the matter on hold and went to find Yanlingxi's page.Mingjun seems to be very concerned about the little emperor of the human world recently, who knows what he is thinking?The paper rustled, and the word Yanlingxi came into view. Shuhuai yawned and continued to read, but he was shocked after reading the first line.

He opened his eyes wide, and the more he looked, the more he panicked. He suspected that he was still in a dream, so he stretched out his hand and pinched his leg hard.There is pain, and it hurts very much, this is over, all this is real, not a dream.

The date of Yan Lingxi's death had arrived a few days ago, Shu Huai roughly calculated that before they caught Silin, Yan Lingxi should have been a dead person.But after getting along during this time, he was clearly a living person. The ghosts came to see him, but they didn't find any difference in his condition. He should still be alive, but the extra life span came from a wrong path.Mo Yun's intuition was so accurate, Shu Huai was secretly startled, Si Lin really used a method that shouldn't be used, and let the young man who should have died stay in the human world to live.Generally speaking, people have a more thorough understanding of their own body than others. Judging from some words that Yan Lingxi once said, he knows that he will not live long, but he has lived until now, has he noticed any doubts?Does he know the truth that his life span is over?

No wonder Mingjun specifically asked the ghost envoy to let Shuhuai check the two pages about Yan Hengrui and Yan Lingxi himself. He probably already saw something wrong and was deliberately reminding Shuhuai.Shuhuai closed the book of life and death, feeling that it is not too late to delay, Ming Jun's move probably implied that he brought Si Lin and Yan Lingxi to the underworld together, and that they should not be allowed to stay in the human world for a long time.

Described the matter to Mo Yun in a few sentences, Shu Huai grabbed the books of life and death, and went to the main hall to return them to Lord Ming, but at this moment, the elusive Wen Yanzhi appeared on the way again, Let him be calm and calm, Mingjun has other arrangements for this matter.

What other arrangements can there be?Shu Huai really can't figure out Ming Jun's thoughts.Forcibly tampering with fate is a big taboo. The reason why this kind of behavior is prohibited is because the consequences are not affordable for ordinary people. Shuhuai made a big mistake when he tore up the book of life and death, but Mingjun thought twice and eased his punishment. This is because he stated that all consequences will be borne by himself.Those who directly tear up the book of life and death like him are definitely a minority, and those who are willing to take responsibility on their own and assist Hades to do things are even rarer. If everyone can have such awareness, then Hades will not be short of manpower, because Hades Jun took them all as "ghost envoys".However, Yan Lingxi couldn't lift his shoulders, he was still a sick child, why did Ming Jun bring him?It's not because she wants to find a companion for Xueyi, it's enough to have Wanzhu with her.

Wen Yanzhi stretched out his hand to stop Shu Huai, and then stood still and continued to wander in the sky, without any sense of crisis.For him, Yan Hengrui may be more worthy of vigilance, but Yan Hengrui's ending has already been decided. Mingjun said a long time ago that if he is sent to reincarnate sometime, he will not be left to serve in the underworld, and his whereabouts are to be determined Yanlingxi is really different.Shu Huai stomped his feet, almost foreseeing that Yan Lingxi would replace the Ghost Envoy's position in the future, even though Ming Jun hadn't said how to deal with Yan Lingxi.

The black dragon huddled under the wooden table, its beard trembling slightly, watching Silin and Yan Lingxi quarreling in amazement, they came and went, and refused to give in to each other, citing scriptures on one side and throwing a question, on the other side immediately shaking the bookbag and throwing it away. Come up with a rebuttal. After talking for more than an hour, no one won.Just when Changqing was excited, Silin suddenly stopped speaking, and said helplessly: "It's getting late, your mother will send someone over, I'll hide in the cup first, you calm down."

Yan Lingxi was so angry that she would not let him go, she grabbed his sleeve and used all her strength to keep him where she was: "Don't go, tell me first, what exactly did you do?"

"Your Majesty." Silin smiled and pulled the sleeve out of his hand, "I really didn't do anything."

"You're lying!" Yan Lingxi began to speak indiscriminately, "I remember clearly, the night I saw you for the first time, I should have died!"

Hearing this, the smile on Silin's face slowly disappeared, while Chang Qing was shocked, and quickly retracted his head, pretending to be in a deep sleep.The atmosphere suddenly became dignified, Yan Lingxi trembled, took a step back involuntarily, then stepped forward again, and hugged Silin's waist without saying a word, as if afraid that he would leave her if he got angry .

"Don't think too much, you're still human." Silin stroked his hair, as if explaining to him, or whispering to himself, "I won't harm you."

Of course he will not harm Yan Lingxi, but it is not certain whether what he has done will harm others.Black Dragon curled himself up even tighter, but his ears were pricked up, wanting to hear what the little emperor would say next.

The other party did not live up to his expectations. After a moment of silence, he asked again: "I know you want me to live, but have you ever thought that I don't want to live like this?"

Silin knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she gave up covering it up: "If you really died that day, what's the use of reading so many books? There are still many beautiful places in the world that you haven't seen, and you should go and see them."

"According to what you say, people are always going to die, so all people should stop studying and live their lives in a daze." Yan Lingxi's voice was filled with tears, "I don't know what you do, I just know how to do it. You are defying the destiny, the destiny cannot be violated, you claim to be omniscient, don’t you even understand this truth?”

"Why don't I understand?" Silin sighed softly, "It's just pretending to be ignorant. You found out too late. I'm sorry for you. I only hope that you can live. I will bear all the blame."

Yan Lingxi sniffled, still trying to put on an emperor's majesty: "In any case, from now on, you are not allowed to do this again."

Silin fell into silence, Changqing secretly opened his eyes, thinking that this bloodless war would end with Yanlingxi's victory, but unexpectedly, Silin turned around suddenly, bent over to Yanlingxi's ear, and whispered Said in a low voice: "Forgive me."

The little emperor choked for breath, and was about to speak when Silin turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated into the jade cup.He stood there blankly for a moment, when the door was knocked lightly, it was people from the Empress Dowager's Palace who came over.The aroma of the food spread in the air, but Yan Lingxi didn't have any appetite, so he waved his hand and asked the maid to go down first, saying that he was restless and didn't want to see anyone for the time being.

A dragon claw poked out from under the bed first, and then a dragon crawled out. Yan Lingxi looked down at Chang Qing, not knowing when he ran from under the table to under the bed.Since he is here, just let him eat the food, otherwise it would be a waste to throw it here.He blinked at Chang Qing. The latter understood, and quickly climbed onto the table, first poked it with his paw, then leaned forward to smell it, and suddenly let out a "huh" and retreated to the table in surprise: "This It seems poisonous?"

Yan Lingxi frowned, went to the table and looked through the dishes, but he couldn't see anything unusual, but he chose to believe in Chang Qing, immediately picked up the black dragon and stuffed it back under the bed, and called out the door: " Come on!"

The maid gently opened the door, walked in with her head down, and waited for his order. Yan Lingxi glanced at it briefly, then pointed to the dishes on the table, and ordered them to take them down.The maids were unmoved, and still stood where they were. The leading palace maid took a step forward and quickly explained: "If you don't eat, the Queen Mother will be worried."

"Tell mother that I have no appetite today, and I don't want to eat." Yan Lingxi felt restless, feeling that these palace people were too ignorant, he was not in the mood to repeat what he had said once.

The maid raised her head and looked at him. For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart. At this moment, he heard the other party repeat the words just now, as if they would not leave unless he ate the food on the spot. like.A terrible guess came out, Yan Lingxi knocked on the table, suddenly picked up a piece of pastry, and thrust it into the mouth of the maid.Gongsun looked flustered, and quickly backed away. Seeing her reaction, Yan Lingxi immediately threw the piece of pastry on the ground, slammed the table, and sternly cursed: "You are so brave! Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?" Poison in the food!"

The court ladies are court ladies after all, even though they were sent to assassinate the emperor, they are still weak and have no confidence, as soon as Yan Lingxi slapped the table, they all knelt down and fell on the ground, not daring to make a sound.The little emperor was angered by Silin, and was worried that he couldn't find a place to vent his anger, so they rushed towards him, as if throwing himself into a trap.Taking advantage of their inattention, Heilong poked his head out quietly, and saw Yan Lingxi's face was gloomy, as if he was about to order to kill someone, and looking at the pastry on the ground, he couldn't help sweating.Shu Huai and Mo Yun stayed here for several days, but they didn't encounter the legendary scene of poisoning the emperor. They didn't expect to meet them today. What kind of luck is this?And if Yan Lingxi had eaten those foods, the situation might be different now.Changqing felt a tinge of fear, the palace was indeed in danger, and the ancients were sincere.

"If you don't eat, the queen mother will be very worried..." The court lady lying on the ground seemed to have made up her mind, she slowly raised her head, her eyes were fixed on the little emperor in front of her, "I hope your majesty will fulfill your filial piety, we As a slave, you can also explain to the Queen Mother..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly jumped up, grabbed Yan Lingxi's collar with one hand, and went to the table to get the poisoned snack with the other. The rest of them seemed to have been instructed, and got up from the ground one after another, swarming up to hold down Yan Lingxi, Don't let him resist.Seeing that the murder was about to happen right in front of his eyes, Changqing no longer cared about concealment, jumped out from under the bed and turned into a human body, to save the little emperor from those court ladies.He moved quickly, and Silin was faster than him. A green light flashed, and the leading maid fell limply. With the warning, he withdrew his hand, hugged him in his arms, and wanted to take him out of the palace.

"Wait!" Sensing his intentions, Yan Lingxi immediately exclaimed, "The queen mother is still in the palace, I can't leave!"

"If you don't leave, wait for her to send someone to harm you?" Silin sighed quietly, "Don't think about your mother, save your life, my little majesty."

Changqing still didn't want to believe that a mortal woman would do such a wicked thing of abandoning her husband and son, holding the green jade cup and asked weakly, "Maybe it's setting the blame on?"

"I can't rule out the possibility, but I don't think so." Silin flew into the air with the little emperor, and the wind blew past his ears, making Yan Lingxi dare not open his eyes.Seeing his appearance, Silin felt a little sad for some reason, so she hugged him tighter, then turned around and asked Chang Qing: "Do you want to make a bet with me?"

Heilong's good wine is better than gambling. Hearing this, his eyes lit up: "What bet?"

"I bet that this is the work of the Empress Dowager. If you lose, I will give you three jars of good wine." Silin smiled lightly, as if the winning ticket was in his hands.

The more the opponent is like this, the more Changqing refuses to admit defeat, he is cruel and heartless, saying that if he loses to Silin, he will give away thirty altars.He bet all his belongings in, Silin couldn't help being speechless, but few drunkards can resist the temptation of good wine, he accepted Changqing's bet against his conscience, and said in his heart that he must not let the Dragon God know about him secret.

The queen mother was sitting in the hall, playing with a jade cup in her hand.This was a treasure presented by the prime minister, but she held it in her hand, but she didn't find anything special. Presumably the man was unwilling to spend money, and was trying to curry favor with her and get closer to her.The prime minister is really a strange person, the court is divided into three factions, and he fights himself the most fiercely. Who knows what kind of heart he would give away at such a juncture?The jade cup was neither good for throwing nor keeping, the Empress Dowager had a difficult time, she asked the maid to test with a silver needle to make sure that there was no poison on the cup, but she couldn't feel at ease when she put it down, she had to find a conspicuous one A place, you have to be able to see it day and night.

The Grand Palace Maid has followed the Empress Dowager for many years, and she clearly understands her habits, without her needing to say anything, she took the cup and placed it where she wanted.The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The emperor died of illness during the day, and it is necessary to find an appropriate time to bury him. However, the court is currently in chaos, and the etiquette cannot be fulfilled. However, the Aijia thinks that the emperor will not stick to it." Gu Li, just choose a day in the next few days and bury him in the imperial tomb."

"Yes." The grand maid bowed slightly, lowered her head and retreated outside the hall, and silently closed the door, and the moment she raised her eyelids, a strange light flashed in her eyes.It is a green color, mixed with a touch of yellow, as if winter has passed and spring has come, and new grass leaves have grown on the land.

The entrance to the mausoleum had already been opened, and the grand maid stood outside, watching the craftsman seal the coffin with cold eyes.She left quietly, slammed her palm on the outer wall, and the boulder fell in response, separating the worlds of the living and the dead.This is due to fate, there is no one to blame, no one to blame, who told them to be too ordinary, and no one came to rescue them?

The author has something to say: I went to bed at ten o'clock last night, and I still can't sleep at 11:30 this night.It's almost time to start school, but the jet lag can't be beat.
