The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, it is me who turns back

5.

There was no one in the front hall, Gu Zhizhou and Fu Ziqiu sat drinking tea on one left and one on the right.

Gu Zhizhou explained redundantly: "I have no choice, but if one of the two is reliable, it's not your turn."

Fu Ziqiu knew it well, this person avoided him like a snake and a scorpion.He blew on the tea leaves floating on his face, took a sip of hot tea, the warmth sank into his stomach along the cold blood vessels, and he felt embarrassed: "Well, I have self-knowledge."

Lukewarm, the most disturbing.

Gu Zhizhou couldn't even drink the water, so he put it aside, grabbed the two ropes of his clothes and put them in his hands to play with, then remembered to ask: "Is Qin Zhonghe under your control?"

Fu Ziqiu didn't seem to expect that Gu Zhizhou would ask this, he was slightly taken aback, and replied: "It's sort of."

Gu Zhizhou didn't figure it out: "It's so laborious and mobilizing everyone? Aren't you a Demon Lord, a mere resentful spirit needs you to do it yourself?"

Fu Ziqiu didn't answer directly, but asked instead: "Didn't the mere resentful spirit also hurt you?"

Gu Zhizhou didn't want to talk at all, he got up early and fought and quarreled, and now he was so embarrassed, he felt that the wound on his back shoulder that was caught by Qin Zhonghe began to ache.

He paused, and took the initiative to soften his tone: "Since we are going to act together now, we should discuss everything and help each other. I will not provoke you, and you will not provoke me. There will be no more meaningless quarrels like this morning. "

Fu Ziqiu said lightly: "I never take the initiative to provoke you."

Gu Zhizhou raised his voice reflexively: "Aren't you enough to provoke me?"

Fu Ziqiu looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

Gu Zhizhou poked his neck and stared at him for a long time: "Okay, I will bear it."

A tentative agreement was reached, the two of them sat quietly for a while, but each had their own concerns, and neither of them was willing to reveal the truth first, clearly sitting so close, as if separated by mountains, rivers and seas.

In the past, they talked about everything, and when they got together, they would talk nonsense all over the place, wishing to show their hearts to each other.How did you come to such a silent situation?

Gu Zhizhou took a deep breath, and picked up the teacup again.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck across the sky, accompanied by a loud thunder, and the sky immediately began to rain cats and dogs.

Gu Zhizhou was startled by the movement, his hands shook, and a cup of tea was spilled on his lap without leaking.

The teacup rolled from between the legs to the ground and was broken into pieces.

"Damn, what's going on outside?" Gu Zhizhou sucked on the hot tea, stood up and shook his legs, kicked the shards under his feet, and said in horror: "This cup is worthless, right? They won't ask me to pay for it!"

Fu Ziqiu frowned, and glanced at the drenched and steaming pants: "Are they burnt?"

Gu Zhizhou lifted the hem of his robe, revealing the white underpants inside, which were wet with tea at the moment, stained with tea stains, and the yellowish color was a bit ugly.

"Is it burning?" Fu Ziqiu asked again.

Gu Zhizhou shrank his legs, as if he didn't hear, he blew himself up: "Damn! This color looks like I peed on me!"

"Why is it so hard to talk to you?" Fu Ziqiu got impatient, got up and went around, grabbed Gu Zhizhou's trouser legs: "Is it hot?"

Gu Zhizhou's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly held him down: "Let go!"

At that time, the trousers had been rolled up to the knees, revealing a piece of hot red skin.Fu Ziqiu didn't lift it up any further, Gu Zhizhou could have sliced ​​him here with just one more inch.

"Don't think I want to see it too much." Fu Ziqiu threw his hand away and sneered: "I still owe Xue Xianzun, the skin is fragile and thin, if your heavens are like this, it will be over sooner or later."

Why are you still being sarcastic?

Gu Zhizhou wanted to scold, and also wanted to ask Fu Ziqiu, if he doesn't like thin skin and crispy flesh, do he like Qi Wu who has rough skin and thick flesh?

But before it was too late, a few people walked by in twos and threes outside, and it was Chen Liangyu who had returned.

The rain hadn't stopped, and he got soaked without an umbrella, but his face was radiant.

"Master," Chen Liangyu walked over, moved half of his body away, and introduced: "This is Master Tianwen, and he brought the rain."

Gu Zhizhou looked over and sized him up.

He was half a head shorter than him, with an unattractive appearance, and he couldn't think of a second-sighted person in the shameful pile.

Being so close, I can't feel the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power, calling thunder and rain, what's the reason?

Chen Liangyu's excitement remained undiminished, as if he saw a living god: "Master Tianwen wants to wash his hands, here are two people to lead the way." Then he turned to Gu Zhizhou: "Let's go to the imperial father's bedroom as soon as we are ready. By the way, master, what are you doing call?"

"My surname is Gu." Gu Zhizhou paused, and then said, "Gu Xiao."

Fu Ziqiu was slightly taken aback, and glanced at Gu Zhizhou from the corner of his eye.

Once upon a time, they were fledgling little devils, wandering the world together.When encountering someone who asked for his name, he was afraid to make a mistake outside and bring trouble to his teacher, so he dared not even tell him his real name.

Gu Zhizhou's sword "Xiaohe" took the word "Xiao".

As for him, the "Canglang" was abandoned by him on Broken Sword Cliff a hundred years ago, and it has long since become broken copper and rotten iron.

Not to mention.

·

When they came, there was a mighty group of people, but they really entered the palace, but there were very few of them.

Gu Zhizhou bumped Fu Ziqiu with his elbow, lowered his voice and said, "God, I think there's something wrong with him."

"Yeah." Now that he decided to coexist peacefully first, Fu Ziqiu began to negotiate with him seriously: "It's quite evil. There is one more thing, I don't know if you paid attention..."

Gu Zhizhou looked at him.

Fu Ziqiu said: "Just now in the Qianqing Palace, Chen Liangyu sent someone to lead Tianwen to wash his hands. I noticed that before the two servants approached, Tianwen had already turned around and walked towards the side door. There are four doors to the backyard."

"You mean..." Gu Zhizhou was slightly surprised: "The two of them knew each other before?"

"I'm afraid it's not just a simple acquaintance." Fu Ziqiu's face darkened: "Ordinary friendship, maybe you are so familiar with the prince's residence? They probably have been in contact for a while, and the curse of calling wind and rain was prepared for Tianwen from the beginning. of."

Gu Zhizhou immediately understood: "Chen Liangyu never planned to find someone to exorcise ghosts from the beginning. The people who came here today are all swindled and abducted ordinary people. They can't activate the spell at all. This spell is prepared for Tianwen. He wants to be justified. He brought Tianwen into the palace and made up so many messy excuses, but we were purely accidental."

Fu Ziqiu nodded.

While speaking, several people had already arrived at the True Dragon Hall.

Chen Kuang was lying on the bed with the heavy veil drawn, only a vague figure could be seen vaguely.

After what happened last night, his body completely collapsed.In the past, it was barely enough to last a year or two, but now a month or two is enough.

Chen Liangyu saluted and greeted respectfully, left several people in the outer room, walked in by herself, and whispered something to Chen Kuang while lying on the bedside.

After a while, he came out and invited several people out.

Chen Liangyu said: "Father, the dragon's body is unwell, please masters to cast spells outside the hall."

Gu Zhizhou and Fu Ziqiu looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Small skills are no match for Master Tianwen, why not come first?"

Tian Wen heard the words, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said: "The time has not come yet, Your Excellency will invite you first."

This is the first sentence Tianwen has said so far.His voice was hoarse and rough, as if a sharp dagger had been placed in his throat and had been sharply polished, making one's spine numb.

Gu Zhizhou frowned slightly, goosebumps formed on his body.

"In that case, let me prepare first."

Gu Zhizhou took two steps away, leaned close to Fu Ziqiu's left ear, and said in a low voice, "Lend me two little ghosts."

Fu Ziqiu said: "You go, I will throw it over when you cast the spell."

Gu Zhizhou nodded, walked to the open space in front of the True Dragon Hall, stretched out his hand, and conjured a mahogany sword out of thin air.The mahogany sword was infused with spiritual power, and a layer of blue light suddenly appeared. He turned his wrist and drew a Tai Chi Eight Diagrams in the air.

The gossip map flipped in mid-air, became bigger, and then slowly floated into the sky, covering the entire palace.

Then Gu Zhizhou raised the sword in front of him, and Weihe's voice sounded: "Break!"

The gossip diagram turned into a big net, which was quickly pressed towards the ground.

At that moment, Fu Ziqiu let go of his hand, and the four little ghosts fell down, before they touched the ground, they were captured by Gu Zhizhou's net.

The big net was gradually tightened, and the four babbling little ghosts were tied together.

Gu Zhizhou caught it with his sword, and there was a small bundle hanging on the blade of the mahogany sword.

The mortal soldiers who had never seen such a formation were stunned, wanting to see but fearing being accused of leaving their posts without authorization, they were almost dying of anxiety.

"Small tricks." Gu Zhizhou slipped off the burden and threw it to Fu Ziqiu: "My dear boy, take care of these brats."

Fu Ziqiu caught it, the corners of his mouth twitching.

·

The sky sank inch by inch, the sun set in the west, and the moon was on the branches.

The time for Tian Wen to wait has arrived.

This person didn't have fancy moves, he just asked someone to set up a table with a tripod incense burner on it, and then lit three sticks of incense and inserted|inserted them into the incense burner.Then he took out a yellow talisman from his cuff and burned it with incense.

The whole process was as calm as worshiping Buddha.

Gu Zhizhou stared at him suspiciously.

The yellow talisman was burnt to the end, and a pile of fly ash from the censer fell.

Tian Wen randomly grabbed a handful from the incense burner, waved it towards the burning incense, and suddenly a cluster of burning flames burst out in front of him.His throat rolled up and down, and a hoarse and unpleasant voice came from between his lips: "Ghost, call me!"

Suddenly, the wind blew up, the shadows of the trees whirled, and the sound of Li Jia scratching on the ground could be vaguely heard.

Gu Zhizhou looked around suspiciously, but someone grabbed his wrist.

He confronted Fu Ziqiu out of nowhere, but saw the latter staring fixedly at the underside of the stage where the spell was cast.

Gu Zhizhou followed his line of sight, and saw a man with disheveled hair and wearing a white prison uniform squatting there, aware of their gaze, the man raised his head with blood-red eyes, and it was Qin Zhonghe!

Gu Zhizhou's eyes widened in astonishment.

Tian Wen's face darkened, and he stretched out his arms, and the strong wind swept into his large black sleeve robe, flapping it.

He let out a loud shout, forming complex golden spells on his palms, and immediately clasped his hands together, opened them again, and pulled out a pure golden iron chain.

The iron chain came out of his hands and rushed in all directions.

There was a sound of "shua la la" chains colliding, and the golden iron chain had already penetrated into the bottom of the table, binding Qin Zhonghe tightly.

Seeing this scene, the heroic soldiers hiding in the palace wished they could come up and grab someone immediately, but they were restrained by Gu Zhizhou's sharp eyes.

Tian Wen dragged Qin Zhonghe out with one end of the iron chain, and dragged him to report to Chen Liangyu.

"Eighth Prince, the culprit who disturbed the emperor has been caught, you can relax."

Chen Liangyu sighed twice, praised Tianwen even more, said dozens of rewards in one breath, and then asked how to deal with this evil spirit.

Tian Wen took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve and pasted it on Qin Zhonghe's forehead, chanted a mantra, put him in his pocket, and said: "Evil spirits have their own destinations, whether they go to hell or reincarnation is fate. "

Chen Liangyu was stupefied for a moment as he muttered.

"It's too easy." Gu Zhizhou frowned, and said in a deep voice: "You and I failed to catch Qin Zhonghe twice, but this time Tianwen caught Qin Zhonghe just by throwing ashes?"

Tian Wen caught Qin Zhonghe's evil spirit, Chen Liangyu was overjoyed, and immediately announced the removal of half of the guards outside the Dragon Hall, and ran in to tell Chen Kuang the good news.

When he came out, his face was full of spring breeze, presumably he was praised by Chen Kuang.

Later, a banquet was held in the palace, and several of them were invited to have dinner with them.

Fu Ziqiu walked at the end without saying a word.

It is indeed very problematic.

If Tianwen is the mysterious person from the night before, he saved Qin Zhonghe, why did he arrest him today?Want to gain Chen Liangyu's trust?If they were really colluding, Chen Liangyu could not kill Chen Kuang with Qin Zhonghe's resentful spirit, just come back tonight, why should he subdue him with great fanfare?

The mysterious person, Tianwen, and Chen Liangyu, are these people in the same group? What exactly are they plotting?

"What are you thinking?"

Suddenly a whisper came from my ear, and I got very close, and I could feel the humidity of the breath.

Fu Ziqiu's heart that had been silent for a hundred years suddenly "thumped" for no reason, as if it had been hit by something.

A black shadow flashed past in front of his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, his three souls and seven souls suddenly became chaotic, trembling up and down, and his soul floated away from his body.

Fu Ziqiu staggered, his legs were limp, and he was about to fall when his knees were bent, but Gu Zhizhou held him up.

Gu Zhizhou helped him stabilize: "What's wrong?"

The red lines, like leeches sucking blood, filled Fu Ziqiu's veins, climbed up his pale neck, and extended to his sharp jaw.

Fiery red, coquettish and gorgeous.

Gu Zhizhou was so close that he could see the accident clearly.

It was a mark, bright red, a flail branded with hot blood.

Gu Zhizhou couldn't help holding his breath, and touched it with his hands.

It's ridiculous, this person's whole body is cold, but the place where the imprint lingers is scorching hot, burning all the way to the lungs, burning the heart and liver to ashes.

That is the mark of a mortal becoming a demon, made by refining his own blood.

Smelly, filthy, dirty, vile.

For eternity, gods and demons are immortal, and the ugly mark will not disappear for a day.

Suddenly, Yuanshen fell back into the body.

Fu Ziqiu turned his head in embarrassment, grabbed the hands around his neck, and finally realized his shame: "Don't look."

The person in front noticed that they were standing still, and turned around to ask what happened.

Gu Zhizhou stood sideways to block Fu Ziqiu, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Eighth Prince, my apprentice is not feeling well, so I'll take him back first."

Chen Liangyu was polite and said that he wanted to find an imperial doctor for them, but Gu Zhizhou politely declined.

In the end, there was only one palace man who led the way left.

Gu Zhizhou didn't move, and nodded to the courtier: "Excuse me and lead the way."

He supported Fu Ziqiu, resisting not to look at him, until the glaring redness in his peripheral vision gradually disappeared: "Just now why did you suddenly..."

Fu Ziqiu interrupted him and asked the palace man in front: "My father-in-law, who lives in this place?"

The palace man was very interested and didn't look back, but said: "It used to be the bedroom of the third prince and the sixth prince. After the third prince passed away, only the sixth prince lived here."

As soon as the words fell, Fu Ziqiu flicked his fingers, and the palace servant fell crookedly.

"you……"

Fu Ziqiu pushed Gu Zhizhou away, with a serious face: "It's a mistake, their target is not Chen Kuang, but Chen Puyu."

"what?"

Fu Ziqiu turned into a ray of red light and disappeared in the same place in an instant: "Talk while walking."

Gu Zhizhou hurried to catch up, confused: "What's going on?"

Fu Ziqiu said: "I saw a black shadow flying over there, Tian Wen let Qin Zhonghe go."

"Why did not I see?"

"If my guess is correct, their original purpose was to get rid of Chen Puyu or the crown prince first. The throne is still in the air. None of the princes knows who Chen Kuang is going to inherit. Chen Liangyu dare not take risks, so he can only get rid of all possible Hidden dangers left Chen Kuang with no choice. But Qin Zhonghe had too much resentment. He had just entered the world last night, and he lost control after eating a full stomach. Get it under control first."

Gu Zhizhou said: "But the person behind it has a resentful spirit in his hands, why do you want to help a prince win the heir?"

"There must be some kind of transaction between them." Fu Ziqiu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "For example, help Chen Liangyu ascend the throne, so as to gain the support of the human monarch."

Gu Zhizhou's expression changed: "You can't talk nonsense!"

What kind of chaos needs the power of the monarch of the human world?Throughout the ages, there has only been a period of great war between heaven and demons, the time when the Three Realms were unified!

Fu Ziqiu also knew the importance of these words, so he didn't say any more: "Save people first."
