To Raise a Soul

The two armies confront each other, the new emperor is here in Dayan, but the leader of the rebel army is not there. The contempt and insult are very obvious.

The loyal ministers who accompanied Shi Qingyuan were very upset, and wanted to step forward to shout out, but Shi Qingyuan stopped him and said: "Now whoever speaks first will lose his momentum, Mr. Ge, please be safe and don't be impatient."

The loyal minister shut up after hearing the words, raised his hand in salute, and retreated.

The two armies continued to confront each other, and the soldiers of Dayan were obviously not as energetic as the rebels, and their timidity was very obvious.The rebels were all high morale and strong, and they felt very strong just by looking at them.

"Did we make the puppet too powerful?" Feng Lin was worried.

Yu Zhen shook his head, and said, "Only by being strong can Qing Yuan experience the feeling of being saved from a desperate situation. Old Feng, the leader can come out now."

Old Feng nodded, took out the floating dust, and flung it far behind the puppet army.

A stream of pure spiritual energy drifted slowly along the wind, covering all the puppets. After receiving the order, the puppets paused their weapons, shouted loudly, and separated neatly from the middle to make way for them.

The soldiers of Dayan were so frightened by the loud shout that they were about to pee their pants. Shi Qingyuan frowned and gave a low shout to stabilize the army. He looked solemnly towards the road that the rebels gave way to, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the weapon. .

The rebel army is stronger than he imagined, this battle...is not easy to fight.

Da da da.

The sound of horseshoes approached slowly, and a man in the chief's armor approached from the end of the road, holding an overlord gun in his hand, his eyes fell on Shi Qingyuan, he smiled maliciously, rode his horse to a stop in front of the formation, and pretended Clasping his hands, he said: "Caomin Zhou Qing has met the emperor, I don't know what kind of death the emperor wants to choose today?"

The soldiers of Dayan gasped in surprise at his arrogant words, while the courtiers around Shi Qingyuan's expressions darkened, and their eye bags looked angrily at the puppet Zhou Qing.

Bo Xiu shook his head and said, "The expressions of the courtiers around Qing Yuan are fine. If it's not that Zhou Qing is too good at disguising, then it's because he didn't pretend to be a courtier, but mixed in with this group of soldiers."

There are too many soldiers to observe.

"Damn, this is too cunning!" Feng Lin was angrily.

Yu Zhen was also observing the people around Shi Qingyuan, but found no suspicious person, frowned slightly, and said, "Then let's fight directly, it's important to break Qingyuan's heart barrier, I'll cover my body and protect Qingyuan's side, lest he Being attacked by the eyes of the formation, the puppet will leave it to everyone."

Everyone in Feng Lao nodded and said: "You have to be careful, leave this to us."

There was another wave of aura, and Zhou Qing, the puppet who had finished throwing harsh words before the battle, waved the Overlord Spear in his hand, and suddenly rushed up on his horse.

Dayan's soldiers and courtiers didn't expect him to fight immediately after he finished speaking, completely ignoring the rules of confrontation before the battle, and immediately panicked.

"Take up your weapon! Prepare to fight!" Shi Qingyuan yelled to stabilize the army again, waved the weapon in his hand, and rode his horse towards Zhou Qing without fear.

bass!

The clash of iron weapons kicked off the prelude to the war.

As a prince, Shi Qingyuan has learned some riding and archery skills, but he is not proficient. This time, there are no generals to use in person. Facing the puppet made by Yin Yan and set by Yu Zhen, he will soon be The wind fell.

"Looks like a weak scholar, but I didn't expect to be able to hold on." The puppet Zhou Qing taunted while beating, like a cat playing with a mouse, shooting here and there, not releasing Qingyuan's vitals, only insulting to increase wounds on him.

Shi Qingyuan frowned and said nothing, he kept attacking in his hands, focused on fighting, and only took his trash talk as deaf ears.

"Don't talk? You, the new Emperor of Yan, are a bit interesting." The puppet Zhou Qing sneered, and suddenly raised the tip of the spear, stabbing towards Shi Qingyuan's face, aiming directly at his eyes.

Shi Qingyuan sharpened his brows and narrowed his body to dodge his blow, but exposed his back and was stabbed by the puppet Zhou Qing.

The armor on the back was punctured, and the flesh underneath was hit hard, which was very painful, but Shi Qingyuan's expression did not change, he immediately opened the distance, and turned around to meet again after slowing down the wave.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of weapons clashing kept coming, and Yu Zhen used his aura to hang himself around Shi Qingyuan's body, guarding against the Dayan soldiers who were fighting with the puppet soldiers around him, trying to find the real Zhou Qing.

The master and general were at loggerheads, and the puppet soldiers didn't seem to be as strong as they had seen. The Dayan soldiers gradually found a little confidence and courage. Encouraged by a few shouts from Shi Qingyuan, their momentum gradually increased, and they actually held the puppet soldiers. Offensive, there is still room to counterattack.

The battle situation became stalemate, Yu Zhen counted the wounds on Shi Qingyuan's body, and seeing that they were almost done, he released his spiritual energy, and sent a signal to Lao Feng on the hillside from afar.

Elder Feng immediately responded with a spiritual energy, and then another wave of pure spiritual energy spread towards the battlefield.

Zhou Qing, the puppet who received the new order, suddenly shouted and picked Shi Qingyuan off his horse. At the same time, the puppet soldiers suddenly retreated, changing their formation neatly, and unexpectedly surrounded Dayan soldiers faintly.

"Your Majesty, the situation is not good! They want to encircle and suppress us!" The seriously injured loyal minister approached Shi Qingyuan to remind him, but he didn't want a puppet soldier to rush out from behind and stab him in the back with a sword.

Shi Qingyuan was shocked and called out, "Old Man Ge!"

"Emperor... Shang..." The loyal minister vomited blood, slowly fell down, stretched out his hand towards Shi Qingyuan, and said with difficulty: "The old minister can only accompany you... Dayan can't perish... can't..."

puff!

The puppet soldier made up the knife again, and the loyal minister fell to the ground unwillingly, and completely closed his eyes.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

A Dayan soldier rushed out suddenly, used his body to help Shi Qingyuan block the puppet Zhou Qing's blow, and fell straight on Shi Qingyuan.

Shi Qingyuan was knocked to the ground, facing the painful expression of the soldiers before they died, his pupils shrank, and he clenched his palms.

The puppet Zhou Qing kicked the dead soldier away, looked at Shi Qingyuan who was sitting on the ground, and sneered disdainfully: "What a waste, I heard you always wanted to be a monk? Hahaha, you are the only one who only enjoys others Protection, people who can't do anything well will be dismissed as monks and Buddhas. Even people who can't do well, still dreaming of becoming a Buddha? Go to death!"

The point of the spear stabbed, but Shi Qingyuan seemed to be fixed on the ground by some invisible thing, staring straight at the sharp blade that came down, his eyes were confused and self-doubting.

You can't even do well as a human being, and you still want to become a Buddha?

That's right, he was raised by his father, loved by the people, and he had the expectations of countless people, but he didn't get anything in return. He only blindly pursued what he wanted to pursue, and failed all the hard work of these people.

As a son, he is not filial; as a minister, he is useless; as a husband...ah, he has not had time to be a husband and a father, and a person who is full of desires is not qualified to have such precious feelings.

But now, he is a king, but even the country is about to perish in his hands.

Also, and... as a friend, he spent more than twenty years wasting his time, and finally got a friend, but he only knew how to ask for it. He pushed his desire to convert to Buddhism on the other party, hoping that the other party would help him escape from the father who was obviously his father. The stable city built for him was regarded by him as a royal identity in a cage.

Thinking about it carefully, his friend helped him a lot, but he didn't seem to have done anything for the other party.

Whether he is a son of man, a minister, a friend, or a king, he is a complete failure.

He really didn't even do a good job as a human being. How could he have the face to live in this world like this.

The point of the gun stabbed straight down, the strong wind hit his face, Shi Qingyuan's eyes were red, and the image of Yu Zhen waving away the last time we met flashed in his mind, with a tense expression, he slowly closed his eyes.

That time when Yu Zhen made such a phone call abnormally, and then left quickly, he must have been disappointed in him, disappointed in such a failed and stubborn person like him.

The book of war that landed on the ground is the guidance of the Buddha. A person like him is doomed to be unable to grasp anything and accomplish nothing.

So after all, did he lose even his only friend?

The only...friend...

"Shi Qingyuan! Why are you in a daze!"

The expected pain didn't come, but the familiar voice came instead. He was startled, opened his eyes suddenly, and looked towards where the sound came from.

Yu Zhen was almost frightened to death. He never expected that after being stimulated, Shi Qingyuan would suddenly lose his belief in living, and was almost eroded by evil spirits.

What the hell, he didn't think Shi Qingyuan was the kind of person who would easily not want to live, but what's going on now?Could it be that his medicine was too harsh?

Trying to block the puppet's blow, Yu Zhen didn't care about exposing himself, stepped forward and pulled Shi Qingyuan up, and said angrily and anxiously: "What are you doing! Are you waiting to die! Look around and these are still desperately resisting!" Dayan soldiers, you are their emperor, what will they do if you die!"

Shi Qingyuan stared at him blankly, then suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly: "Yu Zhen, I..."

"Stop hugging, cheer me up!" Yu Zhen pushed him away hard, kicked away the damaged weapon on the ground, took out a sword and put it in his hand, and said, "Go to fight! You are the king of Dayan, yes Their pillars, the enemy is not terrible at all, go, overcome them, don't be defeated by the weakness of the heart."

The sword in his hand still carried the body temperature of the other party. Shi Qingyuan looked at Yu Zhen's eyes that seemed to be burning with flames, and his brain, which was filled with despair, woke up bit by bit. The soldier's heart was trembling, and a sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart. He clenched his sword tightly, looked at Yu Zhen, and said, "Okay! Let's fight."

It's not over yet, this person is still there, Dayan is still there.He still has a chance for redemption and return.

Since being a son of man and being a minister have completely failed, then when you are still a friend and a king, you will fight to the end with all your strength!

Can't admit defeat, never admit defeat!

He turned around and raised his sword, gathered all the emotions in his chest into his throat, so that there was no place for weakness to grow, and he closed his eyes and shouted: "All soldiers obey orders!"

The battlefield seemed to be silent for a moment, and the Dayan soldiers all looked over, with blood on their faces and shaky hope in their eyes.

Yu Zhen kicked away Zhou Qing, the puppet who was about to attack, and sent a signal to Gaopo with spiritual energy.

"Dayan..." Shi Qingyuan looked around, his voice sank, with firmness, fighting spirit, and the belief that he would keep fighting even if he died here, and shouted with all his strength: "... ...You can't die! Kill me!"

Dayan can't die!

Can't die!

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

All Dayan soldiers issued the same call, and the fighting spirit permeated the battlefield, forming an invisible aura that aroused everyone's blood.

Shi Qingyuan put down his sword, and there was no sign of weakness and flinch on his face. With a twist of his wrist, he gently pulled a sword flower, and pointed sharply at Zhou Qing, the puppet who stood up again after being kicked away by Yu Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "It's a big mistake to offend me!" Swallow, die!"

After finishing speaking, without giving Zhou Qing a chance to reply, he swung his sword and went up, imperceptibly blocking Yu Zhen who was beside him.

Yu Zhen looked at the invisible aura formed above his head in amazement, feeling a little hairy in his heart due to the spreading fighting spirit.

Is this the power of Buddhism?

Even if the cultivation base is suppressed by the illusion, you can still infect the people around you with the belief in your heart, and gather people's hearts for strength.There are also Dayan soldiers who were infected around them. These are all people who were transformed by the phantom array with evil spirits. They were also affected by Shi Qingyuan, and they showed signs of being purified and transcended.

Surrounded by killings, Yu Zhen was in a daze.

He suddenly thought of Emperor Dayan, who was full of kindness towards Shi Qingyuan, and all the loyal officials who stayed by Shi Qingyuan's side and died fighting to the end.These people were obviously transformed by the phantom array, but they all fell to Shi Qingyuan's side, unconsciously protecting him.

This is probably the reason why Zhou Qing dared not act rashly. Shi Qingyuan's ability to super-purify the people around him is really... a natural born monk.

With Zhou Qing's obsessed appearance, it is estimated that as soon as he gets close to Shi Qingyuan, he will be discovered by Shi Qingyuan's instinct and then chased to kill him.

It's scary, the innate Buddha body is really scary, no wonder Yin Yan was so reluctant to get close to Shi Qingyuan at the beginning.

"what!"

Piaoyuan's thoughts were awakened by the puppet Zhou Qing's painful roar, Yu Zhen came back to his senses, and found that he was unknowingly protected by Shi Qingyuan and Dayan soldiers in the middle, and Shi Qingyuan didn't wake up Dazed, he brutally injured the puppet Zhou Qing into a bloody man.

Has the strength also become stronger with the help of the human heart?

Seeing the blood on Shi Qingyuan's face, Yu Zhen was suddenly a little scared, but the play had to go on, and he had to strike while the iron was hot, so he turned his wrist, taking advantage of the moment when Shi Qingyuan was briefly suppressed by the puppet Zhou Qing, Stepping forward to block Zhou Qing's blow, pretending to be invincible, he was slashed by the puppet soldier next to him.

Of course the injury was fake, but he acted very real. He let out a cry of pain and fell to the ground. At the same time, he directed the puppet Zhou Qing to attack Shi Qingyuan who wanted to look sideways, shouting: "Qingyuan be careful! Kill him for I take revenge!"

Seeing that he was injured in order to protect himself, Shi Qingyuan felt anxious and hated. Facing the puppet Zhou Qing who was rushing, he really made a killer move in his hand. With a sound, the long sword directly sliced ​​through the puppet Zhou Qing's head.

puff.

The puppet Zhou Qing fell to the ground, his head was in a different place, and blood was gushing from his neck.

Yu Zhen was so frightened by this tragic situation that he gasped. Seeing Shi Qingyuan wipe off the blood splattered on his face expressionlessly, he turned around and walked over quickly, then pretended to be weak and lay down on the ground.

"Yu Zhen." Shi Qingyuan knelt on one knee, reaching out to hug him.

Yu Zhen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't touch me, it will make my injury worse. Now that the enemy general is dead, go and hang the opponent's head on the tower behind to disturb the enemy's morale, and then take advantage of the situation to make a strong attack to end this situation." A battle. There can be no further delay, Dayan soldiers can't hold on."

Shi Qingyuan frowned when he heard the words, and looked at the wound on his body worriedly, knowing that what he said was right, the opportunity to fight should not be missed, he gritted his teeth and put aside his personal affair, called a few soldiers to guard around, got up and walked to the body of the puppet Zhou Qing, Picking up the head, he casually took a horse that was a little crazy in the melee, and rode it on to the tower.

Losing the general, the rebel army immediately fell into chaos. Dayan soldiers took advantage of the situation to attack and quickly gained the upper hand.

Yu Zhen was lying on the ground, his eyes kept moving, watching the reactions of the people around him, and at the same time, he asked Feng Lao and others on the high slope to pay attention to the movement of the battlefield, and waited for the puppet Zhou Qing's head to hang on the tower, who would react strangely .

After hanging up his head, Shi Qingyuan immediately returned to the battlefield. At the same time, news came from Feng Lao, but nothing was found.

Yu Zhen didn't notice it here either. He hated that Zhenyan could hold his breath like this. He simply stopped thinking about finding out Zhenyan and helped Shi Qingyuan clean up the rebels with his "injured body". Instead, he focused on helping Shi Qingyuan. Yuan breaks the heart barrier.

With Fenglao and others releasing the water, the battle ended quickly, and Dayan won miserably. Because neither Dafeng nor the Yuan royal family were alive, Shi Qingyuan accidentally unified the world.

After the war, Shi Qingyuan was proclaimed emperor, and Yu Zhen was forced to lie down and recuperate, full of despair.

After such a toss, except for making Shi Qingyuan almost want to die, there is no gain at all!Shi Qingyuan seems to have realized something, but the enlightenment is not obvious, and it does not affect the state of mind, so it does not affect the illusion.The head of Zhou Qing, the puppet at the head of the city, hangs for half a month, and the plot of the illusion is completely out of control, but the eye of the formation has not appeared for a long time.

"Does it mean that Qing Yuan must be sent to become a monk? But now that he has become the emperor, how can he become a monk?" Yu Zhen was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

Elder Feng and the others looked helpless, and finally Feng Lin couldn't hold back anymore, and said, "How about... let's give brother Qing Yuan some medicine? Let him be sexually attracted to him?"

Snapped!

Elder Feng raised his hand to blast a hammer, frowned and said: "What a bad idea! Are you trying to make Qing Yuan fall deeper into the phantom array!"

"But Brother Qing Yuan is not in a deep hole now..." Feng Lin covered his head and muttered aggrievedly.

There was another silence, Yu Zhen sighed, rubbed his forehead, and said: "Let me find a way to leave the palace first, and then we can discuss other ways, I always lie like this under Qing Yuan's nose, doing nothing convenient."

Hearing this, Bo Xiu's expression was weird for a moment, remembering Shi Qingyuan's thoughtfulness to Yu Zhen during this time, he hesitated to open his mouth to say something, his eyes glanced at the ring on Yu Zhen's hand, and he closed it silently.

Maybe it's an illusion... He frowned and thought, convincing himself, no, it must be an illusion, it's an illusion.

Thinking of doing it, that afternoon, Yu Zhen got up from the bed regardless of the palace guards' stop, and in a flash, he came to the imperial study room and wanted to say goodbye to Shi Qingyuan.But he didn't expect that there were actually people in the imperial study room, and they were still a group of monks.

He froze for a moment, and hurriedly hid his body halfway through his appearance.

boom.

The old monk sitting at the front shook his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

Yu Zhen looked over immediately, but the old monk bent down, just to cover his expression, picked up the fragments and apologized to Shi Qingyuan, "The emperor forgives me, I'm rude."

"Master Huiyuan, you don't need to be too polite. Come here and bring me a new cup of tea." Shi Qingyuan smiled and said nothing, then shook his head and said: "Master, I'm afraid I can't agree to your previous proposal."

Master Huiyuan?proposal?What proposal?

Yu Zhen's eyes moved, his intuition was wrong, he stepped up to Master Huiyuan, deliberately blocked his view of Shi Qingyuan, and observed him carefully from top to bottom, his body's aura and merits were about to move.

Master Huiyuan still looked at Shi Qingyuan, as if he couldn't see Yu Zhen who was hiding his figure, bent down and said the Buddha's name, and said: "Please think about it again, you are just a disciple of the layman. Ten thousand people have immeasurable merits in water and fire. Even if sentient beings have not passed, the Buddha must not care. As for the head hanging outside the city... Amitabha, the monks are merciful. Just after the war, the people's hearts are unstable, such bloody things , it’s better to take it off as soon as possible.”

Layman disciple?Is this old guy here to persuade Shi Qingyuan to become a monk?Allies?But asked to remove the head of the puppet Zhou Qing...

Yu Zhen was thoughtful, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on Hui Yuan, carefully observing all his expressions.

Shi Qingyuan still shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "Buddha doesn't care, I do. After this battle, I have figured out a lot. Before, I was too superficial and always pursued some superficial things. Now my six roots are not exhausted. , Too many worries, it is not good to disturb the Buddha's purity. The Buddha did say to be merciful, but I will not take that head. The country is enmity and the family is enmity. We are kind to the enemy, why did the enemy treat us kindly?"

Yu Zhen looked back at him when he heard the words, feeling relieved and having a headache.

It's over, it's over, although Qing Yuan is no longer pedantic and believes in Buddhism, but he doesn't even want to be a monk, and the illusion can't be broken now.

Master Huiyuan also sighed, said the Buddha's name again, and said, "Your Majesty is blaming me for my stubbornness back then?"

Shi Qingyuan was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Master Huiyuan to ask such a question, he smiled and shook his head, and replied: "I have never thought of it like this...Master, to be honest, the love robbery you mentioned, I'm probably already stuck in it, and... I'm not going to break it."

Master Huiyuan and Yu Zhen were both startled, and blurted out in a gaffe, "Who is it?"

After being shocked, he quickly turned his head to look at Huiyuan in front of him, his eyes sharpened, and the aura in his hands flickered.

Just now after the old monk lost his composure, he seemed to glance at himself. In this illusion formation, there is only one person who can see him regardless of his cover, and that is the formation eye that controls the illusion!

Over there, Shi Qingyuan didn't notice that something was wrong with Huiyuan, and his thoughts obviously drifted to other places, and said: "It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you don't have to cross this love calamity, and you don't have to be shaving. If you have a Buddha in your heart, Even in the mundane world, you can still become a Buddha. And this love calamity... To be a king, you must love all people deeply. To become a Buddha, you need to save all living beings. That person is just one of the people and all living beings. I may love him, but What does it matter, my Buddha is always here, I just need to wait, wait for the time to slowly resolve the private feelings in my heart, and achieve great love, and this calamity will naturally pass."

After speaking, I was stunned for a moment, stunned for a few seconds, suddenly shook my head and laughed, threw away the memorial in my hand, my eyes were clear, and there was no trace of confusion, "I see, I see... the shackles were never set by the Buddha, but It's me, the Buddha is in my heart, not in my mouth and on the surface, I'm confused."

A burst of aura suddenly emanated from him, Master Huiyuan's face moved, and the aura burst out from Yu Zhen's hands immediately, showing his figure and rushing forward: "Zhou Qing, you finally showed your fox tail!"

Master Huiyuan's expression turned ruthless, he tore off the disguise, dodged Yu Zhen's blow with a flexible movement that didn't fit his appearance at all, and looked at Shi Qingyuan who instinctively lowered his eyes and meditated after bursting out of his aura after the imperial case, his eyes flickered Showing hatred, he attacked without hesitation.

"Go away! Stay away from Qingyuan!" Yu Zhen took out his mahogany sword to block him, but he didn't want the other monks who looked like statues around him to suddenly rise up and rush towards Shi Qingyuan together.

Damn!

Yu Zhen was in a hurry. Now that Shi Qingyuan was comprehending the critical moment, he couldn't be impacted.

"Meow!" At the critical moment, a white light suddenly flashed, and the monks attacking Shi Qingyuan froze and fell to the ground.

Yu Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then was overjoyed. Just as he was about to call out nothingness, the door of the imperial study was knocked open, and Lao Feng ran in first.

"What's going on, I noticed the fluctuation of spiritual energy."

Yu Zhen hurriedly swallowed back the call, and said, "Qing Yuan is about to break his knot, help protect the Dharma quickly! This old monk is Zhou Qing, the illusion is about to dissipate, surround him, and don't let him run away!"

Everyone cheered up when they heard the words, and they all attacked Master Huiyuan who was fleeing in panic.

As the aura released from Shi Qingyuan's body became stronger and stronger, the scene in the imperial study room gradually disappeared, the white mist filled the air again, and the phantom array finally showed his original appearance.

Just as Yu Zhen was about to help, his waist suddenly tightened, and then he was spinning. When he came back to his senses, he was already standing in the sea of ​​flowers in space. In front of him was Yin Yan who had recovered his appearance from his previous life, and his hand...was falling touch.

"Uh...Yin Yan?" Yu Zhen thought that he hadn't recovered from the battle, so he couldn't understand the current situation.

Yin Yan didn't respond to his call, he reached down and held his wrist, looked at the prayer beads on it, and took it off with a movement of his fingers.
