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

8.

8.

The people who came in were invited to the teahouse, and the guard outside the door served tea and water, and respectfully said: "Master, the master is on his way back, please wait a moment."

Grandmaster?Who is here to ask?

Gu Zhizhou and Qi Wu each sat in a corner, looking down calmly.

At the tea seat, Tianwen sipped tea cross-legged, from Gu Zhizhou's perspective, he could only see the back of his head and a thin back.He sized him up, his eyes fell from the top of Tian Wen's hair to the hand holding the tea. This man is very good at drinking tea, his movements are elegant and exquisite, and he looks more like a literati than a pretentious Mr. Exorcist.

He lowered his head and blew away the tea leaves on his face, took a sip, and shook it again.

Gu Zhizhou thought this man was so hypocritical.

Not long after, the door opened again, and Prime Minister Li Gu walked in with a smile.

"Master, I have been waiting for a long time."

Tian Wen sat without moving, seemed not to take Li Gu seriously, and exchanged a few polite and distant greetings.

Hearing Tian Wen's hoarse voice, Gu Zhizhou frowned impatiently.

After Li Gu also went to the tea table, Tian asked: "The sixth prince is missing, and the resentful spirit is also gone."

Li Gu was startled, he didn't hold the cup in his hand: "What?"

Tian Wen straightened the cup that had fallen on the table, poured another cup, and with a wave of his palm, the water stains on the table dried up: "They are still in the city."

Li Gu frowned and pondered, clenched his palms into fists: "Master, can't you summon resentful spirits? Do it again, just kill it once."

Tianwen laughed lightly, because his voice was hoarse, and his laughter was weirder than ordinary people: "I can't call you here."

"What do you mean you can't be called? Didn't you call yesterday!"

Tian Wen shook his head: "If you miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to kill him." Then, he turned his face to the closed window, as if looking at the gazebo outside through the window paper: "Now someone is guarding He, an expert, is not an expert that you and I can fight against."

Li Gu is a mortal, and in his perception, the biggest thing in the world is the emperor.He is the prime minister of the court, and he is already under one person and above ten thousand people, so it is difficult to put other people in his eyes.

He thought that the wraith spirit was powerful enough, and wasn't such a powerful ghost just for his use?Therefore, after hearing Tianwen's words, he didn't pay much attention, and only said: "How high can it be? Can't even the resentful spirits deal with it?"

Tian Wen laughed again, with a clear sneer: "A mortal with the highest vision is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. He is conceited and stupid, and he doesn't understand the truth of 'There are people outside of people and there is a sky outside of heaven'."

"You—" Li Gu was angry, but he could not bear it again and did not dare to attack.

He has been monopolizing power all his life, and now he can reach the pinnacle of power with only "one move away".Although I don't know what it means to "beyond others, there are people beyond the sky", but I have a very thorough understanding of "small intolerance leads to chaos and great conspiracy".

In a blink of an eye, Li Gu calmed down, and respectfully said: "Master, I don't understand your ghosts and gods, but as long as we can win the throne, will we still obey your orders in the future? Now that we can't do anything, we can only make another plan, absolutely not Let Chen Puyu sit on the ground and get up."

"Let's take one step at a time." Tian Wen's tone suddenly became brisk: "The two who intervened are not easy to provoke. The resentful spirit has not returned so far, and I'm afraid they have already taken it away."

Gu Zhizhou hid in a high place, only vaguely felt that Tianwen's tone of voice was familiar, but he couldn't imagine where he had heard it before.

"Now we can only treat that person as Chen Puyu first. He is dead in front of the world, and if he wants to act, he will not be too ostentatious." Tian asked: "But after all, he has a backer now, and I am afraid that he will think about the throne again." Chen Liangyu's destiny is auspicious and has the appearance of the emperor. Even if the gods have supernatural powers and involve the royal family's fate, they dare not tamper with it at will. You can rest assured on this point. As for the others, just search for Chen Puyu's whereabouts secretly. For the matter of forcing the palace, Put it aside for a while."

"I'm afraid it is imperative to force the palace." Li Gu let out a breath, and his brows suddenly became serious: "For so many years, the sixth prince has confronted me tit for tat, and collected so many evidences, how much the emperor has read, believed, and How much is in my heart. Although I don’t say it on the face, just looking at the fact that the throne is still pending, I know that the emperor has long been suspicious of us. He will not hand over his own country to his son who has been plotting against him. He kept me to balance the imperial court. In the midst of the situation, what if this momentum is broken?"

"What did the prime minister mean?"

"I have placed a spy by the emperor's side. According to what he said, the emperor intends to reset the Taifu and the servant in the court. If this is true, then I will only have a name as a prime minister." Li Gu's voice was low Continued: "In addition, I heard that the emperor has secretly summoned several princes these days. Throughout the ages, although the throne is often passed on to relatives, it is not without precedent that it is passed on to brothers."

What Li Gu said obviously doesn't believe in Tianwen's so-called "the appearance of the Son of Heaven". After all, in their eyes, only the things they hold in their hands are the most reassuring. Those theories of fate are too illusory.

Gu Zhizhou was taken aback for a moment, if what Tian Wen said was true, Fu Ziqiu tried his best to prevent himself from helping Chen Puyu last night, was it also because he already knew the fate of the two of them?

Tianwen shook his head helplessly: "Do as you please, don't forget our agreement."

The two talked for more than an hour, until a guard knocked on the door, saying that the emperor had summoned Li Gu before leaving.

The door closed again, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Gu Zhizhou was about to go down, but when he was about to move, he suddenly found that the sunlight passing through the window slats happened to pass through the angle between the beams, he followed the light and looked over, his eyes fixed on the screen in the room.

The beam of light passed through, and the screen was covered with a layer of clear light, which seemed almost transparent.

Gu Zhizhou's face sank: "I seem to know where they hid their things."

Jumping down, Gu Zhizhou raised two fingers and tapped on the surface of the screen.

Qi Wu raised his eyes.

empty.

Qi Wu moved over, attached his ear to the exquisite dragon pattern carving, tapped lightly with his knuckles, and there was a muffled sound.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place." Gu Zhizhou sneered: "Li Gu is so cunning."

"What should I say now, opening the screen will definitely alarm the people outside."

Xu Shi was sure about the location of the ledger, but Gu Zhizhou was not as timid as before.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, and no longer deliberately lowered his voice: "It doesn't matter, the important thing is to get the account book."

Although the voice was not shouted out loudly, it was enough to alert people outside.

The guards guarding the gate were well-trained. As soon as Gu Zhizhou finished speaking, a long hook broke through the door.

He dodged it sideways, and the long hook swept across the thick sandalwood table, causing the wood to fall apart.

"I'll deal with them," Gu Zhizhou pulled out Xiaohe, and cut off the flying hook with a sword: "You take the ledger."

Qi Wu dare not delay.

Gu Zhizhou didn't dare to reveal his identity, he didn't even lose his spiritual power to the sword, and he dealt with it with all his internal strength.

The eight guards guarding the study rushed forward, two of them wanted to chase Qi Wu, but were stopped by Gu Zhizhou's beautiful sword flower.

The silver-blue long sword danced quickly, and the sharp sword energy whizzed past.

Gu Zhizhou is the supreme swordsman, and there are few rivals in the Three Realms.

These eight people may not be useful if they are separated to fight, but together they seem to form a formation, connected end to end, and interlocking.One person disconnects and the other immediately connects.Gu Zhizhou frowned, thinking it was funny.

If these eight people were placed in the rivers and lakes, few people would be able to defeat them.Li Gu raised such a group of masters at home, how intentional it must be.

Gu Zhizhou hasn't played with anyone for a long time, his muscles and bones are weak, it's rare to meet someone interesting, and he wants to play with them for a while longer.

Qi Wu moved quickly, took off the dagger from his waist and swiped lightly on the screen to open a hole.After a few strokes, it seemed too slow, so I simply cut along the border to the end in one go.

The outermost layer of the screen began to loosen, and Qi Wu lifted a corner with both hands.

The guard caught a glimpse of this, and a long hook flew towards him at high speed.

Qi Wu turned sideways quickly.

A clear sword light flashed, and Gu Zhizhou broke the hook with a sword.

The claws with barbs fell to his feet, and Qi Wu also knew the goods: "Lotus hook? Has the Wanting Waterside Pavilion started to do business with the court?"

He was answered with another long hook.

Gu Zhizhou rubbed the claws and turned to Qi Wu, Xiaohe spun in front of him, twisting off the thorn in the iron hook.

He took the time to stare at Qi Wu, and said angrily: "Can you stop talking nonsense?"

Qi Wu shrugged, then removed the screen.

The sound of fighting attracted other guards in the mansion, but because most of them followed Li Gu into the palace for the funeral, there were not many people and their fighting power was not strong.

Gu Zhizhou found it boring to strike, and the sword became narrow, every move was not sloppy, and he didn't take people's lives, but only repelled them.

"pat-"

The last wooden corner connected to the screen was torn apart, Qi Wu stretched his arms and finally removed the outer layer.

I saw that the shell carved with complicated golden dragons came off, and a whole side of paper was neatly stacked in the interlayer of the screen.

Qi Wu spread out his palms, and the invisible internal force made the pages fly.Putting your palms together again, the papers were stacked up in an orderly manner, one after another, and all of them fell on the small couch in front of you.

Qi Wu bent down to pick up the stack of papers, flipped them a few times, and put them back into his cuffs.

"There is."

Hearing this, Gu Zhizhou no longer wanted to fight, and with a domineering wave of his palm, Dang even forced back the circle of guards who surrounded him, and opened an unimpeded road in front of the door.

Pointing to the ground, the two figures quickly disappeared into the sky.

·

Fu Ziqiu returned to the room, first set a complicated magic spell on the door, bright red, embedded in the door and then disappeared.

Then he took out the universe bag and released Qin Zhonghe's wraith.

Fu Ziqiu sat on the stool, propping up the table behind him with one arm, and unconsciously twisted the ring on his index finger with the other hand.He squinted at Qin Zhonghe, there were two black holes in this man's white prison uniform, and there was a murderous mist.

One was shot by his arrow feathers, and the other was poked by Xiaohe.

Up and down, get very close.

Fu Ziqiu lifted the stool at his feet, kicked Qin Zhonghe over there, and pouted at him, "Sit."

Qin Zhonghe's thinking seemed a little slow, he looked at Fu Ziqiu, and then turned to the chair in front of him, as if trying to discern the meaning of this sentence.He paused for a moment, moved slowly, his soul was weightless, and Qin Zhonghe sat lightly opposite Fu Ziqiu.

"Do you still remember who you are?" Fu Ziqiu asked.

Qin Zhonghe's eyes trembled, the color was not as bloody as it was when they first saw it, and black and white outlines could be vaguely seen.He nodded and replied, "Remember, Qin Zhonghe."

Fu Ziqiu asked again: "Do you know how many years you have been dead?"

Qin Zhonghe was stunned, showing hesitation.

"15 years." Fu Ziqiu answered for him.

Qin Zhonghe lost his mind for a moment: "It's been so long..."

"Remember what you did?"

"I..." Qin Zhonghe relaxed, as if remembering, his expression began to become painful, vaguely, not very obvious: "I almost killed Puyu."

"Yes," Fu Ziqiu nodded, "Not only did you almost kill Chen Puyu, but you also ate innocent ghosts all over the street. They could have been reincarnated and re-entered the six realms of reincarnation, but now they are completely lost. You deprived them of their lives." Opportunities are no different from killing people."

Qin Zhonghe lowered his eyes and repeated in a low voice: "Killing..."

"830 seven people."

Qin Zhonghe lowered his head and remained silent, but his hands with long black nails were mixed together.

Fu Ziqiu continued: "15 years can change a lot of things. The country you miss, the people here, the monarch you once defended with all your heart, and you swore to sell your soul and come back to seek justice."

"No!" Qin Zhonghe cut him off abruptly, not knowing which nerve he had hit, with a sharp voice unique to Li Gui.

Fu Ziqiu raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtful: "Oh?"

Qin Zhonghe shook his head and denied, "That's not the case. I...I don't want to."

"It's too late to say no now." Fu Ziqiu said ruthlessly: "Without overwhelming anger and resentment, who can take advantage of you? How much you have devoted yourself to this country, how ruthless Chen Kuang is, you hate as much. "

Qin Zhonghe was still shaking his head, muttering in a low voice, his whole body was resisting.

However, Fu Ziqiu's whipping of him was not over: "Don't you dare to admit it? At least when your head fell to the ground, you really wanted everyone in this country to be buried with you."

"I do not have……"

"The more you hate, the more you can't control yourself. How much resentment you have, a little resentful spirit can enter and leave the imperial city!" Fu Ziqiu slapped the table with his palm, cups collided, and bells rang.He stood up abruptly, grabbed Qin Zhonghe and Wu Wu's front, and grasped the thin cloth tightly in his hands until his fingertips turned blue and white: "Say! Who is controlling you? Who is calling?" What did you do? What is your purpose!"

Qin Zhonghe was suddenly powerless, the redness in his eyes completely faded, returning to black and white.

His lips moved and trembled, and the sadness in his eyes was unbelievable.

"I..." he said in a trembling voice: "I hate Chen Kuang, I hate this country. But I... never wanted to hurt the people here..." As he spoke, he was a little incoherent: "I can't control myself, yes They... a lot of fire, they keep roasting me, I feel hot... I'm hot, those fires are hidden in my heart... just take it out... it's comfortable to take it out, it tells My...I...I don't want to..."

Fu Ziqiu quickly grasped the key point of a series of words, and he pressed Qin Zhonghe's gaze: "Who is it?"

Qin Zhonghe's eyes widened, and his teeth made a "clack" sound, as if frightened.He looked at Fu Ziqiu, a line of black air spread from his eyes, it was the tears of ghosts.

He said, "...it's fire."

Fu Ziqiu let go of his hand and retreated to the chair: "You have no heart." He stared at Qin Zhonghe coldly and without a trace of emotion, and almost cruelly opened the facts: "What is hidden in you is Resentment is hatred. The moment you die, you have no heart."

Not all ghosts can face up to the fact that they are dead so calmly. They wander around the world and the Three Realms, unwilling to leave because of a lingering obsession.They always think they are alive, in another way.

But Fu Ziqiu is different.

From the moment he died, he was soberly aware that he died, from body to heart.
