Chen Shi

Chapter 24 Debt from the previous life

Cui Yan's place is clean, when she went out in the morning, there were still a bunch of people guarding the door with gentle and sassy tricks, but now it's clean, not even a hair is left.Chen Zhi was surprised: "How did Cui Yan do it?"

The black armored soldier said: "The Heavenly Master said that if you want to move the capital, you should move to Fengdu. If you are impatient, you can go down first to make a way, so that you can take care of it."

Chen Zhi patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "There are still a bunch of people sitting in meditation at the gate of Yin Shangong. With the exact same expression, exactly the same words, tell them in a more sinister tone, and scare them to death."

Black Armored Soldier: "..."

Chen Zhi, who consciously rescued the Yin Mountain Lord, found Cui Yan happily, and asked with a smile: "What is the strategy of the Celestial Master to retreat from the enemy?"

Cui Yan was painting, when she heard the words, she closed her pen and said, "It depends on God's will."

"...Remind the Southwest King to collect his clothes in the wind and rain? What does it mean to look at God's will?"

Cui Yan said: "If I am the right man, no matter how difficult the situation is, the sky will help me, and naturally I can turn bad luck into good luck."

Chen Zhi: "..."

Cui Yan turned her head and saw Chen Zhi standing dumbfounded: "Your Majesty?"

Chen Zhi swallowed his saliva: "So, are you going to gather people to pray when the King of Southwest arrives?"

Cui Yan took a pen dipped in ink, and tapped lightly on his nose: "The Temple of Heaven has been repaired. I checked, and tomorrow is the auspicious time to worship heaven."

Chen Zhi said cautiously: "In the face of a great enemy, if you don't build fortifications, don't train troops, but pray to the heavens, will you look like a fool?"

Cui Yan said: "Your Majesty naturally has no such scruples."

...Because it is already known to be stupid?

Chen Zhi gritted his teeth: "Give me the pen."

Cui Yan tapped him again, and said with a smile, "What can I do for you?"

Chen Zhi smiled "hehe", jumped up and hugged his head, rubbed his nose hard on the other's nose, then turned around and ran away.

The moment he hugged her and moved close to her, Cui Yan subconsciously closed her eyes, and only now opened them, showing a helpless smile.

Chen Zhi turned his head and told Monkey Yin about Cui Yan's thoughts.Yin Shangong had a "nonsense" expression on his face, and when Cui Yan sent out the notice to everyone, he began to gather friends and relatives again... Relatives and friends tried to figure out Cui Yan's intentions.

Chen Zhi, who relied on his identity, leaned over: "..."

Tongchuan Hou, who lost his house like Yin Shangong, suddenly said mysteriously: "I went home a few days ago, guess what I found?"

Yin Monkey said: "The house you bought for the outer room? Oh, she and the others are sleepy."

"Ah bah!" Tongchuan Hou slapped the table and said angrily, "Don't tell me I forgot! Your wife actually told my wife about this and asked me about the house I bought for the outer room. I'm almost becoming an outer room." !"

The others covered their mouths and sniggered.

Yin Shangong said: "Your Majesty is self-respecting. How can you speak insignificantly in front of Your Majesty."

Tongchuanhou had no choice but to stand up and apologize to Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi said, "The Marquis of Tongchuan hasn't said what he found at home."

At this moment, the Marquis of Tongchuan was no longer in the mood to play tricks, so he said, "I saw the black armored soldiers coming in and out, as if they were digging for something."

Others became interested and asked him what treasure was hidden in his house.

The Marquis of Tongchuan said angrily: "What treasures can I have in my house? Just a few pots of epiphyllum, which are more delicate, and they were searched away. Not only my house, but later I asked people to visit the old houses of Uncle Yuyang and Duke Yinshan. Guess what? dug."

Everyone else looked at Monkey Yin and him curiously, hoping they could deduce the truth.

Marquis Tongchuan analyzed: "Yinshan Gong's family has the deepest foundation among the three of you, and I am second. It is not surprising that our two families have some good things, but this Yuyang Bo's family is now the third generation, and the east wall is being demolished every day. The dilapidated settlement of Buxiqiang, what good things should have gone out long ago, what else can be left?"

Someone suggested: "Maybe there is some origin in the ancestors."

Tongchuanhou said: "I've thought about everything I can think of, even the horoscope of my birthday, if there is no, then there is no!"

Yin Shangong nodded and said: "The two of them really can't compare with my family."

Tongchuanhou: "..." I have endured until now and haven't broken off relations with him, so I really have a broad mind.

Chen Zhi said: "It's not easy to know the answer, just ask."

……

The others looked at him in unison.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"It is most appropriate to leave this matter to His Majesty."

"Then it will be your Majesty's favor."

Chen Zhi: "..." He hasn't abdicated yet!Everyone is acting like a colleague, maybe they are adapting too quickly.With the last expectation of his conscience, he looked at the legendary die-hard royalist——

Yin Shanzheng nodded in agreement.

Believe that Cui Yan is telling the truth, it is better to believe that the epiphyllum he planted will bloom!

Chen Zhi, who had been placed high hopes by the veteran, decided to investigate in person. After taking a message to stay at Yinshan Gong's house, he quietly went to Tongchuan Hou's house, and he heard something.Following the movement, he touched the garden, and saw a few black armored soldiers guarding the outside, and a few inside with shovels to shovel the soil.

I thought they were digging, as the Marquis of Tongchuan said, but when I got closer, I found that it was the opposite, they were trying to bury things.It's just that things have been buried inside, and you can only see the layers of soil covering the top.

"How many places are left?" one of them asked.

The other took out a booklet and flipped through it, and before Chen Zhi approached, he closed it in time: "There are two more places."

The rest stepped on the buried ground and moved to the courtyard not far from the garden.

Chen Zhi followed curiously, and saw them taking out their compasses to explore the place in a decent manner. After about half an hour, they drew a range and started digging.After another hour, a hole nearly ten feet deep was dug.

Here's the big game.

Chen Zhi opened his eyes wide to see that they took out a wooden sculpture half the length of an adult's arm and put it down.Because of the dim light, we can't see the specific appearance of the wood carvings, but we can only guess from their devout postures - something like a statue of a god.

After burying it, the black armored soldier buried the soil again, and then went to the next place.

Chen Zhi's curiosity was aroused, so he directly confronted them, followed them wherever they went, until dawn, and finally dug a few holes and buried them.

The black armored soldiers walked around the Yinshan Palace again.

Judging from their actions of ramming the earth from time to time, there are at least seventy or eighty pits in Yinshan Gong's house.

If it wasn't for the fear that he would ruin things recklessly, Chen Zhi would almost have to dig out of the hole to see what was buried inside.Although he couldn't turn over the soil, he took a pen and paper and recorded the positions of several buried soil with dots.

Since the location of the burial is so particular, it means that these things must be put together as a whole.

What can this think of?

Formation!

Only after he became a god did he know formations, which are not only positioning and tactics in battle, but also can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing some effects that mortals can't figure out.Lenovo Cui Yan knows that after the Southwest King is approaching, the old god is still on the ground preparing to sacrifice to heaven, so it is not difficult to guess his plan.

Chen Zhi, who had consciously discovered Cui Yan's killer weapon, felt that he had been worrying about nothing this night, and was about to go back to catch up on a good night's sleep. Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the roof in the south and landed on the ground only two feet away from him. Zhang's position.

This time it was no longer a familiar figure from the back, but a face-to-face face-to-face——

The inhumanly cruel and ruthless face engraved vividly came out of the memory and became a reality in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Chen Zhi completely forgot that he still had the invisibility talisman attached to his body, and that he had been promoted to immortality through meritorious deeds. He rushed to his forehead, forcing out a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the other party didn't stand for too long, so he stepped forward and walked in another direction.

The moment he looked away from his face, Chen Zhi seemed to be reborn after a catastrophe, almost uncontrollably wanting to sit down on his knees.

The slight moving sound startled the man, and he suddenly turned his head to look over.

At this time, Chen Zhi had woken up from the shock, his brain was finally functioning normally, and he remembered who he was and where he was.He slowly lowered his body and shrunk into a ball, reducing his own space.

Although he became a fairy, the impression of the other party's cruelty was deeply rooted in his bones. He didn't think that he could win with flesh and blood, so he had to be counseled.

The man listened quietly for a while, then continued walking.

Chen Zhi didn't dare to stare too closely, so he could only take a glance from the corner of his eye from time to time, and when he saw the man starting to dig a hole, he really cursed all the dialects he knew in his heart.

The man dug things much faster than the black armored soldier, and within half a cup of tea, the statue in the pit was taken out.

Chen Zhi finally saw his appearance clearly through the morning light - a monster with a human head and a tiger body.

The man turned the wood carving upside down, crushed it, and then walked to the next pit.

Chen Zhi stayed where he was for a while and pretended to be dead. After confirming that the other party was really not around, he tiptoed out the door.

He wanted to go back to the palace, but when he was approaching the gate of the palace, he suddenly remembered that today he was going to sacrifice to heaven, so he hurriedly went to heaven, found Xiantong, and asked him to find some gods, and do something when Cui Yan sacrificed to heaven. Big noise came out.

Behind Huang Tian Ya and Cang Tian Ya, there is a great god Bi Xu who sits in command, and his status is supernatural. In addition, it is also a happy event for the Son of Heaven to offer sacrifices to the sky. All the gods who were found agreed.

After finishing this matter, Chen Zhi flew back to the palace.

At that time, Mao time has passed.

In the past, Cui Yan had already woken up at this time, but today when Chen Zhi rushed in, he had just opened his eyes.

Chen Zhi jumped onto the bed all at once, and before he could speak, Cui Yan swung his sleeve out and smashed it against the door, causing his back to bloom.

After the shot, Cui Yan suddenly came back to her senses, and said tentatively, "A idiot."

……

It must be that the idiot, the idiot, has been called so much that he has become more and more idiotic.

Chen Zhi rubbed his back and hid behind the screen, took off the invisibility talisman, and then limped out.

Seeing that it was indeed him, Cui Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Invisibility? Huh? How many surprises have you hidden?"

Chen Zhi said: "There is no surprise, but there is a shock, do you want to hear it?"

Cui Yan sighed: "You were not here, I didn't sleep well all night. After finally waiting for you to come back, you still have to scare me."

He trekked through mountains and rivers, obtained first-hand information through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and reported it, but he was still disgusted?Chen Zhi was unwilling: "Now that you are frightened, you can still take a breath. In a few hours, you will be scared to death directly."

Cui Yan moved her body inwards to make room for half of the bed: "Okay, you come up first, and then let me take a breath."

Chen Zhi refused: "You didn't rinse your mouth."

"Your Majesty," Cui Yan persuaded earnestly, "Being active is more honorable than being passive."

I risked my life and ran back to tell you military secrets, but you were thinking about "sleeping" me... Chen Zhi was so complicated that he wanted to turn around and join the Southwest King.

Cui Yan said: "Your Majesty, we are going to sacrifice to heaven this afternoon, so we don't have much time left."

This is too unlucky.

Chen Zhinian was a hundred years younger than him, and finally sat on the bed.

Cui Yan lay down and put her arms around his waist: "Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Chen Zhi said, "Did you bury something at Lord Yin Shan's house?"

"Ah."

"It was dug up."

"Oh." Cui Yan agreed flatly, closed her eyes, adjusted her posture, and planned to catch up on sleep.

This reaction was far from what Chen Zhi had expected.He couldn't help pinching Cui Yan's nose: "Don't you take a breath?"

Cui Yan grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest: "I can only breathe dragon air, not cool air."

Chen Zhi: "..."

He was about to be suffocated to death by Cui Yan's betrayal.

Chen Zhi shook Cui Yan: "Be honest, how are you going to deal with the Southwest King? Did you set up a formation in the city?"

Cui Yan opened her eyes helplessly: "Since you are not sleepy..." Holding Chen Zhi in her arms, she rolled over and pressed him down, "Let's breathe in."

Chen Zhi: "..."

Cui Yan's inhalation technique is very confusing.Chen Zhi was accidentally sucked into his soul, and fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, the meal was ready.Cui Yan dressed neatly and urged him to wash up and eat quickly, preparing to sacrifice to heaven.

Although Chen Zhi really wanted to lie on the bed and see Cui Yan's distraught look, but in front of the enemy, as an old man who lived hundreds of years longer, he must be steady, mature and calm...

"Don't eat! Starve me to death!"

He patted the bed and snorted coldly.

It was rare for Chen Zhi to brush his temper once, never expecting that Cui Yan would use such a despicable method to deal with him—forcing him.What's even worse is that today's meal is obviously different from what I usually eat, special, unique, delicious, and delicious.

As soon as the food is in my mouth, I am reluctant to spit it out, chew it unconsciously, and swallow it in a daze.

He promised to go on a hunger strike to protest, but in the end he was full.

Chen Zhi thought: He must be thinking deeply about the role of Chen Yingke, and he has completely forgotten himself.This is definitely not the original him.

After finishing the meal, Chen Zhijie went for more than half of the exercise, and there was nothing to insist on, so he obediently changed his clothes, took care of his hair, and went out with Cui Yan.

Civil and military officials have long been waiting outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Hundreds of people stood on the steps and looked down, quite imposing.

Chen Zhi sat on the dragon, and "bestowed" Cui Yan with him, and the whole army set out.

The other ministers followed on foot.

Chen Zhi remembered that Cui Yan said that the future is an auspicious time, so he couldn't help worrying that he might not make it.

Cui Yan said: "It doesn't matter, as long as it's not too late."

so casual?

Chen Zhi felt more and more tricky in this sacrifice.

As soon as Chen Zhi led the Heaven Sacrifice Brigade out of the palace, there was an urgent report saying that the vanguard troops of the King of Southwest had arrived at the city gate, and they were clamoring for Cui Yan to speak at the top of the city.

Cui Yan said: "If you want to talk to me, let Chen Dengchun come by himself."

The convoy continued on, and after a while, another urgent report came, but this time the black armored soldier didn't say anything, but sent a letter to Cui Yan.Chen Zhi glanced twice out of the corner of his eye but couldn't see it clearly, only to hear Cui Yan laughing and said: "If I say I don't want to be emperor, will he believe that I don't want to be emperor? The king of Southwest is so innocent and simple, it's really amazing." He saw Chen Zhi took a hard aim and handed over the letter directly.

It was written on it that the vanguard army of the King of Southwest shouted Cui Yanyan outside the city without believing it.At the beginning, they agreed to cooperate with each other, but the King of Southwest held back the strength of the others and asked him to seize the capital.After the event was completed, the throne was inherited by the King of Southwest, and Cui Yan became the king of Nanjiang. Unexpectedly, when the matter came to an end, he would turn his back on what he said.

Chen Zhi frowned: "What he said is true?"

Cui Yan said: "It's half true, half false."

"say clearly."

Cui Yan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that I will go back on my word?"

Chen Zhi glared at him.

Cui Yan sighed, and murmured: "I have deceived many people in my life, but I fell into your hands." Without waiting for Chen Zhi to speak, he said, "I heard that there is a master who knows the way by the side of the Southwest King. As for me attacking the capital, he held back the troops for me, purely putting money on his own face. If he really held back the troops for me, how could there be such a thing as Zhang Quan and Gao De coming to the city? "

"What about the thing you don't want to be emperor?"

"Whether you should be emperor or not is just an argument. After being emperor for so long, don't you still not understand it? Compared with titles in name only, the power in your hands is the most real."

"Directly."

"...I really didn't intend to become emperor at first." Cui Yan scolded bit by bit, "It's hard work, and it's easy to become the target of public criticism. It's not as happy as a separate party. But... who told you to persist."

Chen Zhi looked up at him.

Cui Yan smiled bitterly: "Every time you look at me like this, I feel that if I don't become the emperor, I will commit a heinous crime. I'm sorry."

Only then did Chen Zhi nodded in satisfaction: "It's good that you know."

Cui Yan shook her head: "It's just that among the people in Zheng Tianxia, ​​there is no one who can stand on the stage."

Gao Delai is cautious and suspicious, and lacks the domineeringness to look at the overall situation; Zhang Quan is lustful and reckless, he is passable as a general, but not enough to be a commander, let alone an emperor; needless to say, the king of Southwest, he is brutal, and he must be an emperor when he becomes emperor. Tyrant, nothing else is possible.Further down are Chen Shoutian and his ilk. In this troubled world, there is no need to talk about it.

In fact, if he was allowed to choose, "Chen Yingke", who had been thought to be cowardly and stupid, would be an unexpectedly good seedling. Unfortunately, he did not know what medicine he took wrongly, and he had to help himself desperately.

Cui Yan felt that, looking at history, there was only one person who cared as much about being a traitor as she did.

On his side, he expresses his emotions secretly, while Chen Zhi is still rambling about consolidating Cui Yan's insistence on being the emperor.

Cui Yan couldn't bear to listen, she tilted her head and said, "I'm very weak, if you talk about it again, I'll have to absorb dragon energy to nourish myself."

These words were so effective that Chen Zhi immediately shut up.

Outside the Temple of Heaven, there were already countless ordinary people who came to watch him spontaneously. When they saw Long Tuo, they all bowed down and shouted long live.

Chen Zhi said: "The people under the emperor's feet are really self-conscious."

When he got out of the carriage, the people immediately cheered.

In his opinion, the most lovely people in the world are none other than common people.What they want is food, clothing, and stability, but too many high-ranking people regard their lives as worthless for their own self-interest.

Perhaps it is indeed beneficial for them to change to another person as emperor, but these benefits are far from being able to make up for the damage they suffered during the change of dynasty.

Cui Yan helped Chen Zhi get out of the car, and Chen Zhi pulled Cui Yan forward.

The harmonious appearance of the two makes it impossible to see that the real relationship is between the emperor and the rebels.

The road to the Temple of Heaven is long, and the cheers of the common people are gradually fading away, only the footsteps of the officials follow make a slight screeching sound.

Chen Zhi has been to the Temple of Heaven a few times, and he really can't see any difference between the repaired Temple of Heaven and the previous one. Even the legendary white marble whiter has not appeared.The road was too long, the people were too quiet, Chen Zhi was a little restless, and said in a low voice, "What exactly has been repaired in the Temple of Heaven?"

Cui Yan then whispered: "Don't you think it's a lot brighter?"

"do not think so."

"My heart is much more open."

Chen Zhi thought suspiciously for a while, and said, "To be honest, you haven't fixed anything, have you?"

Cui Yan smiled without saying a word.

Chen Zhi stepped up the stone steps, step by step towards the highest point of the Temple of Heaven.This is the exclusive position of the Son of Heaven, even Cui Yan has to wait obediently below until Chen Zhi finishes reading the sacrificial text and sends an invitation before he can go up.

Chen Zhi personally handed him the treasure that can only be obtained by the emperor.

This is already a blatant pass.

The old officials of the Chen Dynasty watched their noses and noses, and their minds were watching their hearts. Obviously, they had changed from indignation to calm about this result. As for whether they gave up, only they knew.

The moment Cui Yan took Guigui, a golden-red auspicious cloud suddenly floated in the sky, and a ray of sunlight penetrated the cloud and fell on the Temple of Heaven, just shining on Cui Yan's body.If it is said that among the civil and military officials standing below, half of them were originally dissatisfied with Chen Zhi's decision to give the throne to Cui Yan, but seeing the scene in front of them, they couldn't help being shaken.

Could it be that Cui Yan is really the Son of Destiny?

Not only that, when the auspicious clouds dispersed, a group of magpies flew from the east, chirping.

Chen Zhi felt a little regretful, if he could invite divine birds like Luanfeng or divine beasts like Hanlong at this time, the scene would be even more spectacular.

Xu felt his regret, the southern sky suddenly gathered a group of dark clouds, and it didn't take long to form a climate, covering the southern half of the sky - the magpies that were still around Cui Yan's head seemed to be frightened, and all coax away.

The dark cloud flew closer and closer, and there was a huge face hidden in it.
