To Raise a Soul

On the night when the envoys of Dafeng entered Beijing, Emperor Dayan, who was having a dinner with Fenglin and watching songs and dances, received a message from Yuan State that the Emperor Yuan State and the new general died of illness on the same day, and the cause was unknown. In the Yuan Dynasty, the dragons had no leader, and the chaos became a pot of porridge.

Emperor Dayan was shocked, and the dinner ended in a hurry.

Shi Qingyuan, who was invited to accompany the guests, left from the palace where the banquet was held, with the affairs of the Yuan Kingdom in his mind, and his brows were furrowed.

Yu Zhen, who was hiding in a tree by the side of the road, finally waited for him to come out, hurriedly broke off a branch and threw it on his head, and called out in a low voice, "Qing Yuan, this way."

Shi Qingyuan was stunned when he was hit, looked up and saw Yu Zhen half-lying on a tree branch comically, laughed before saying anything, and said: "You are back from work? Get down quickly, the tree is dangerous, be careful of falling!" gone."

"I can't fall from this height, and the guards may find me if I go down, so let's talk like this." Yu Zhen deliberately pretended to be on guard against the guards around him, and continued to lower his voice, "You know what happened to the emperor of Yuan Kingdom Is there something hidden here? A friend of mine told me that the emperor of the Yuan Kingdom and the general were actually poisoned to death, just like you were poisoned back then."

Shi Qingyuan frowned again when he heard the words, stepped forward to look up at him, and asked, "Is the news true?"

"Of course it's true. My friend won't lie to me." Yu Zhen replied, looking around again, threw an envelope to him with a slap, and said, "And this, you'd better find a chance to remind your royal father, Mr. Incidents happened one after another between Yan and the royal family of the Yuan Kingdom, I suspect that someone is plotting something wrong, you'd better remind the emperor, let him find an opportunity to thoroughly check the population of the capital and the palace, to see if there are any suspicious elements."

Shi Qingyuan took the envelope, did not doubt his words at all, nodded and said: "I will do what you ask, then you... do you want to follow me back to the palace?"

"No." Yu Zhen shook his head, because he was in a hurry to do bad things, so he didn't notice Shi Qingyuan's slightly sad eyes, and said, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first, and I'll come to you when I'm done. be safe."

After speaking, he waved his hand and left directly.

Shi Qingyuan looked at the empty branches, touched the envelope in his hand, and sighed for a long time.

Yu Zhen returned to the side hall of the imperial palace where Feng Lin and others lived, and said directly after entering the door: "The things have already been given to Qing Yuan. He will mistakenly think that there is a rebel organization wanting to attack the imperial family of the Three Kingdoms. I suggest that the emperor thoroughly investigate the population of the capital. This opportunity, you guys should do a good search in the capital, and you'd better be able to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Qing or Miao Zhengguo."

Elder Feng responded, recalling Shi Qingyuan's state during the dinner, and sighed: "Qing Yuan doesn't remember us at all."

"But I remember Brother Yu, and I still trust Brother Yu very much." Feng Lin added, also sighed old-fashionedly, and sighed deliberately sourly: "It seems that in Brother Qing Yuan's heart, we are not as important as Brother Yu."

"Stop talking nonsense! Qingyuan is like this, probably because Xiaozhen picked up his Buddhist beads and carried his breath on him, which made him instinctively close." Feng Lao raised his hand and patted Feng Lin, then looked at Yu Zhen asked, "Are you going to Dafeng now?"

"Well, just grab something and go."

In order to confirm the news that a rebel organization wanted to take action against the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, something must happen on Dafeng's side, lest Emperor Dayan be suspicious of Dafeng and suspect that the affairs of Dayan and Yuan were all caused by Dafeng.

Yu Zhen replied, suddenly stretched out his hand in front of Feng Lin, and hooked his fingers: "Give me some of your puppet toys."

Feng Lin was stunned, and asked while digging out something: "Brother Yu, what do you want my puppet soldier to do? Are you bored on the road and want to play with it?"

He is practicing puppetry, and he has a lot of prototype puppets on him, but because he is not good at learning the art, the puppets are all empty, tangible and lifeless. Except for a few more powerful puppets that he is used to, the rest are at the level of toys, and it is easy to release them. Can bluff people.

"It's been said that there are rebel organizations that want to harm the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, so what if there are no rebels. The puppets I carry with me are not enough to form an army, so I can borrow them from you." Yu Zhen explained, seeing that Elder Feng and Bo Xiu had read them all. Come over, smiled, and said: "If you want to disturb the illusion, is there any faster way than breaking the illusion array and creating the Three Kingdoms?"

When the fourth force makes its strong debut and directly threatens the Three Kingdoms, he will have to see how the formation will respond.And once the team starts to deal with it, it will be much easier for them to find the tellers of the team.

Bo Xiu quickly figured out his intentions, couldn't help clapping his hands and smiled, and said, "Xiao Zhen has a way, this is a good way, Feng Lin is quick, give all your puppets to Xiao Zhen, the more the better."

In the middle of the night when Yu Zhen left, Emperor Dayan, after seeing Shi Qingyuan who had returned from the banquet, suddenly mobilized the Imperial Forest Army and began to thoroughly check the population of the capital overnight and check the defenses in various places in the capital.

No one expected this, Feng Lao and the others took the opportunity to disperse the monks, mixed in with the Royal Forest Army team, and started to platoon the entire imperial city.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Zhen returned, bringing news that Emperor Dafeng was dead, and then left immediately to deploy "rebels" at the junction of the Three Kingdoms.

This trip lasted for two days, and when he returned to Great Yanjing City again, the news of the sudden death of Emperor Dafeng and several princes under his knees had already spread to Great Yanjing City. Feng Lin, as the only surviving Prince Dafeng, was " Enduring grief" and "hatred", I packed up my things and prepared to return to Dafeng immediately to stabilize the situation.

Yu Zhen appeared in Fenglin's room, saw that Mr. Feng and Bo Xiu were not there, and asked, "Where are Mr. Feng and Uncle Xiu? Did you get any results from this search?"

Seeing him coming back, Feng Lin immediately removed the mask of "sorrow", glanced carefully at the army sent by Emperor Dayan to escort him back to the country, and said in a low voice, "There is a result, we are in Dayan Prison Miao Zhengguo was discovered."

Yu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, then raised her hand and patted herself on the forehead, scolding herself for being careless.

When he searched the Great Yanjing City before, he searched everywhere, but he only forgot about the Heavenly Prison. He was really blinded and confused.After scolding, he hurriedly asked: "Heavenly Prison? Why did he go to Heavenly Prison?"

"I don't know about this. It was a young monk who found him. His strength was too weak to bring him out without anyone noticing, so Grandpa and Uncle Xiu went to help." Feng Lin shook his head and replied, couldn't help but said happily : "Now the candidate for the formation is determined, it's that Zhou Qing! I knew it must be him, he must be jealous of Brother Qing Yuan's power, and wants to kill Brother Qing Yuan after he is possessed!"

Yu Zhen hurriedly pressed his shoulder to signal him to calm down. After all, he couldn't worry about Feng Lao and the others. After saying hello to Feng Lin, his figure flashed and walked towards the prison.

When he arrived at the sky prison, Feng Lao and Bo Xiu, who had come here a long time earlier, were still there. They were squatting solemnly in front of a bloody "corpse", protecting each other's heart veins with spiritual energy, and discussing in a low voice How to save people.

Yu Zhen was shocked, hurriedly stepped inside, and asked, "What's going on? What's wrong with him?"

Elder Feng and Bo Xiu turned their heads to look at the sound, seeing that he was coming, they couldn't help but sighed before speaking.

"Zhengguo... his skin has been corroded by evil spirits. If he hadn't had a breath of spiritual energy hanging on him, he would have already..." Old Feng frowned deeply, with a rare look of hatred on his face, "That Zhou Qing is really vicious, killing people It's just a nod, this kind of torture is really insane!"

"Senior Feng and I didn't bring many pills, and we didn't know any good healing techniques, so..." Bo Xiu also sighed, feeling very unbearable.

Yu Zhen frowned, suppressing the discomfort, stepped forward to take a closer look at the condition of the bloody man on the ground, and saw that his skin was completely festered, and his face was completely changed. First, he took out a vermilion fruit and blasted it with spiritual energy to drip the juice onto the other's lips to ease his pain. The situation, and then asked: "He has become like this, how did you recognize him as Miao Zhengguo?"

Elder Feng and Bo Xiu quickly noticed the pure spiritual energy overflowing from the vermilion fruit in his hand, hope was lit in their eyes again, they looked at Yu Zhen and asked, "This one in your hand..."

"It's a spiritual fruit. I got a tree by chance and planted it myself. It should be able to alleviate his condition." Yu Zhen explained briefly, took out another piece of silk and spread it on the ground, and lifted the blood man over with spiritual energy and gently placed it on it. , while thinking about how to save people, he asked the question just now again.

Seeing the treasures in his hands constantly, Feng Lao and Bo Xiu no longer despaired, and while actively helping, they briefly answered his questions.

It turned out that although Miao Zhengguo had become like this, his aura had not dissipated, so it was easy to distinguish him from ordinary people. To determine his identity, he only needed to check his skills. The cultivation methods of other monks are not the same.

Hearing this, Yu Zhen was relieved, and after confirming that Miao Zhengguo in front of him was not some kind of cover, he turned his hand, and a ball the size of a fingernail appeared, which was directly stuffed into Miao Zhengguo's mouth.

After feeding the pills, he took out another bottle of medicine syrup made from spiritual grass, and while using his merits to dispel Miao Zhengguo's evil spirit, he carefully applied the medicine medicine to Miao Zhengguo's body little by little.

"This is a potion made of spirit grass. It is very useful for external injuries. In short, save his life first. The follow-up treatment will have to wait until after the battle, and then send him to a regular hospital." Yu Zhen explained, after applying the potion Then he wrapped Miao Zhengguo into a mummy with silkworm silk as a bandage, and fed him a Bodhi lotus. Only then was he done, and he withdrew his hand.

Elder Feng and Bo Xiu watched his treasures used like running water, pulling Miao Zhengguo back from the brink of death bit by bit, and they were moved and grateful in their hearts. They said a thousand words, but only said one sentence: "Your hard work!" Perfect."

"It's okay, let's go back to Fenglin first. Now that the situation has been disrupted and Miao Zhengguo has been found, it's time to jump over the wall." Yu Zhen got up, finally seeing a little hope of breaking the formation, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The group took Miao Zhengguo back to the side hall. Before leaving, Yu Zhen used a puppet to make Miao Zhengguo's corpse to fool the soldiers in the prison, and then went to Qing Palace without stopping.

When he arrived, Shi Qingyuan was reading again, but this time he was not reading Buddhist scriptures, but military books, and his expression was rare and dignified.

Seeing this, Yu Zhen's mouth twitched, knowing that the situation had been disturbed, and Shi Qingyuan's state of mind had been affected. He appeared slowly, leaned over to take the book of war from his hand, and asked, "Why did you read the book of war?" , don’t want to be a monk anymore?”

Shi Qingyuan came back to his senses, seeing him instinctively relaxed his brows and eyes, and frowned again when he heard his question, and said: "There have been accidents in Yuanguo Dafeng one after another, people in Yanjing are panic-stricken, everyone is in danger, the emperor secretly adjusted Sending troops to guard against the rebels, how can I safely abandon all these things and go to ordain and become a monk in such a chaotic situation."

"But what can you do if you don't abandon it? You are not sure about going to war now, what's the use of reading military books? And even if you really want to fight, what's the use of reading military books temporarily?"

Yu Zhen deliberately poured cold water on it, threw the book of war into a corner, and continued: "Besides, what a monk needs is the purity of the six senses. You haven't passed the love calamity yet, and now you are looking for trouble for yourself. Are you really not going to be a monk?"

"...No." Shi Qingyuan was speechless by his call, glanced at the military book in the corner, and said: "I know it's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily. In the past, I was too stubborn and failed my father's expectations and teachings. The gaps that have lasted for a long time, how can I make up for it by reading a book, but... the Buddha said that the six senses are pure, and he also said that he wants to save all living beings. Now the world is in turmoil. Although I am weak, I still want to do something for the people of the world .When this matter is over, it will not be too late for me to become a monk.”

He thought it quite clearly, but Yu Zhen couldn't make him understand it now.

"Then let me ask you." Yu Zhen approached him, like a villain who seduces a good boy into a demon, and asked, "If the salvation of sentient beings requires you to kill many, many people, and also requires you to marry and have children, it will completely deviate from your original intention of becoming a monk. , What would you choose to do? Are you really not a monk? Or stick to your original aspiration, you must become a monk, and give up the sentient beings who are waiting for you."

This question was too sharp, Shi Qingyuan looked into his eyes, as if he was about to be sucked in by some kind of light flickering inside, but suddenly came back to his senses, frowned and replied: "Yu Zhen, what you said is just a hypothesis, there are no absolutes in the world." , if there is such a day, I believe there will be a better way to achieve both."

Yu Zhen backed away again, softened her tone, and asked, "Then what should you do if you really fell in love with someone during this period and fell in love? Do you still insist on becoming a monk?"

"I..." Shi Qingyuan wanted to say, of course, that he was born to become a Buddha in this life. To him, love is just a kind of experience before becoming a Buddha, and it is an obstacle that must be overcome. Seeing Yu Zhen listening carefully to his words, the words he spoke changed unexpectedly, "At that time, I believe the Buddha will guide me."

Unexpectedly, Yu Zhen started to feel a headache, knowing that the medicine had not been taken enough, so he waved his hand and said, "Then wait for your Buddha's guidance, I have something to do, and I will come to you when I have time you."

The room was empty, Shi Qingyuan instinctively wanted to stop it, and stretched out his hand, but only caught a cloud of air.

"Guidance from the Buddha." He withdrew his hand and got up, went to the corner and picked up the military book thrown by Yu Zhen, his eyes were dazed.

If the Buddha really has guidance, what is the Buddha trying to tell him about his current predicament?

One day later, Miao Zhengguo woke up, and Fenglin also officially set off to return to Dafeng.

After bidding farewell to the members of the Dayan royal family, Feng Lin and others gathered in the carriage where Miao Zhengguo was, listening to him scold Zhou Qing for being despicable and shameless.

"The illusion created by this damn illusion array is really not enough to look at. It was destroyed as soon as I entered! I wanted to look for other people, but I ran into that damned Zhou Qing! He fell into a demon, but he lied to me that he was only infected by evil spirits, that he knew the location of other people, that he wanted to save people with me, so he tricked me into coming here, and in a blink of an eye, he put me in the prison!"

Although Miao Zhengguo has become a weird man with bandages, he is alive and well, and he speaks full of anger. Seeing Yu Zhen's strange expression, he doesn't know whether to lament his good mentality or his rough nerves.

"He's @#￥%...Old Feng! That Zhou Qing has a big heart! He locked me up here to save himself as a backup, and to use me as an experiment by the way, trying to make Shi Qingyuan pretend to be him! Look at my skin, it's the result of his experiments!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked. Yu Zhen frowned and asked, "You mean Zhou Qing wants to kill Qing Yuan and replace him?"

"Yes! He has already become a demon, but he still wants to become a Buddha! I don't know where he learned the skill of painting skin. Every time he comes to see me, he looks different. The last time I saw him before I fell into a coma, he actually put the I turned into Shi Qingyuan's appearance, disgusting! If you didn't happen to rush over to save me, I would be painted as him in a few days and thrown out to be a scapegoat, what a bad luck!"

painted skin.

Yu Zhen and Feng Lao looked at each other, realizing how tricky the matter was, and after appeasing Miao Zhengguo, they got together in another carriage tacitly.

"Qing Yuan is very dangerous now." Bo Xiu spoke first.

"It's okay, I left a ghost servant by Qing Yuan's side to protect his safety." Yu Zhen reassured, glanced at the crowd, and said, "Zhou Qing can change his appearance, so it's not easy to find him out, and he's better than we imagined." It is more stable, and the situation has become so chaotic, he can still stand still."

Elder Feng was silent for a while, Feng Lin couldn't help but said: "Why don't we just rob Brother Qing Yuan, if we don't find a chance to attack him, we won't be able to harm him."

"No." Feng Lao shook his head and said, "Bringing Qing Yuan here can indeed keep him safe, but he is deeply trapped in an illusion. We can protect his life, but we can't protect his mind. It is very difficult to rob him out rashly." It may deepen his sinking into the illusion."

Feng Lin frowned in distress, and said: "Then we can only attack from the front? But Zhou Qing has been hiding and spending time with us, and he can draw skins. We can't do anything about him."

"No, even if the formation eye is found, you can't kill him for the time being. You have to wait for Qing Yuan to wake up. Now this formation is maintained by the formation eye. Once you kill the formation eye and break the formation before Qing Yuan wakes up, then Qing Yuan will probably be trapped in the illusion for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to wake up again." Bo Xiu shook his head and spoke with a solemn expression.

The situation suddenly became difficult. Yu Zhen saw their expressions in his eyes, moved a little, and said, "Actually... I have another way. Remember the rebels I arranged before?"

Everyone looked at him together, with hope in their eyes.

Yu Zhen hesitated, and said: "My method is relatively unfriendly to Qing Yuan. As the saying goes, it is good to break before we stand. Although we disrupted the situation, we did not give Qing Yuan any real stimulation. Maybe we can try this time." .Of course, it’s also to give Zhenyan Zhou Qing a little stimulation to force him to act.”

Elder Feng frowned and asked, "What stimulus?"

"For example..." Yu Zhen glanced at them again, and replied: "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and Zhou Qing watched 'myself' lose to Qing Yuan with his own eyes... and so on."

It is understandable that the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, but let Zhou Qing watch "myself" lose to Qing Yuan with his own eyes?

Yu Zhen saw that they were just puzzled and did not reject the use of drastic methods. He was a little relieved and approached to explain: "It's like this. The key point of Qing Yuan's illusion is love, but he hasn't liked anyone for a long time. It’s not easy to break, so I can only find him some stimulation such as family, country and world. After all, in Qing Yuan’s heart, great love must be higher than personal affection. And Zhou Qing, the key point of his obsession is to want to become Fohe is jealous of Qing Yuan, so let's just let him taste the taste of being inferior to Qing Yuan, the appearance of a puppet can be changed, if Zhou Qing can paint skin, then we can paint too."

All in all, he was going to make the leader of the rebel army look like Zhou Qing, send him to Shi Qingyuan to defeat, stimulate Zhou Qing who didn't know where he was hiding, and by the way, use this battle to force Shi Qingyuan to wake up.

After hearing what he said, everyone was silent for a long time, then Feng Lao nodded and said: "Just use this method, we don't have time to procrastinate."

The situation in the world suddenly became turbulent. A group of rebels appeared at the border of the Three Kingdoms. They first robbed Dafeng's envoys returning home and killed the last prince of Dafeng. , destroyed the two countries, and finally assembled quickly and headed towards Dayan.

At the same time, people in the Dayan royal family began to have accidents one after another. First, the queen's two princesses died suddenly, then the queen, followed by several powerful princes, and finally even the emperor fell ill.

The atmosphere of terror pervades, the courtiers and palace people fled and scattered, and the army lost its mind. Facing the menacing rebels, the generals had different thoughts and different hearts.

Shi Qingyuan's expression became more dignified day by day, he hadn't touched the Buddhist scriptures for a long time, and he stayed by the emperor's bedside all day long, personally protecting and serving him.

But what he feared most happened, the emperor died, after the rebels broke through Dayan's first line of defense.

The two surviving princes fled overnight. In less than half a month, the palace became an empty city. No one wanted to grab the throne anymore. The status of the royal family became the biggest reminder.

Shi Qingyuan stood on the high city wall, looking in the direction of the Huguo Temple. After a long time, he looked away, and without looking there, he said to the last loyal minister who stayed behind: "Counting the soldiers and horses, my king... I want to personally Lead the army!"

The loyal minister looked at him worriedly, bent down to answer, closed his eyes and sighed.

Three days later, Shi Qingyuan in military uniform led the army and the rebels to face off outside the capital. Yu Zhen and the others covered their bodies and stood watching the battle on a high slope in the distance, watching the situation nervously.

"Can you really wake up brother Qingyuan?" Feng Lin was a little nervous, looking back and forth at the soldiers behind Shi Qingyuan, trying to find Zhou Qing in disguise.

Yu Zhen was actually also very nervous, worried that his method would not work well, and that Shi Qingyuan would not be able to see through it in the end, but his expression stabilized, and he replied: "Don't worry, with Qingyuan's character, after going through such a situation After the crisis of national ruin and family destruction, there will definitely be some enlightenment."

And as long as he realizes something, no matter whether it is related to the love robbery or not, his state of mind will definitely be turbulent. Once the turmoil occurs, he will have a way to seize the opportunity to destroy this illusion, find out the eyes of the formation, and directly destroy the illusion. It's an opportunity to continue to drag Shi Qingyuan back!
