teardrops

Rui'er still didn't speak, she knew the difficulty in Zhan Zhao's heart, she just looked at him silently.Zhan Zhao forced himself to think of the Yellow River bursting its embankment, and the suffering of all the people, and also think of those innocent women who were forcibly thrown into the Yellow River and lost their souls in the end.Finally, with a heartless heart, he slowly raised Zhu Di's sword, Zhu Di let out a long cry, powerful force swept across the sky and overwhelming heat, and slashed at "Luo Shen".That "Luo Shen" didn't dodge or dodge, and even had an even bigger smile on his face, which made people fascinated by it.Zhan Zhao closed his eyes lightly, but the blade of the sword still fell mercilessly. Zhu Dijian slashed at her body, as if he hadn't touched any substance, and continued to move without hindrance. The sword shadow flashed by, drawing a perfect arc.Only a moment later, Zhan Zhao had put the sword back into its sheath.

However, the image of "Luo Shen" became more blurred, as if it was slowly melting into the water, the facial features on the face gradually became unclear, and the color of the whole person gradually faded and became transparent, and finally disappeared little by little, as if it had never been seen before. appeared here.

With a sound of "bang", a small piece of crystal clear colorless jade fell to the ground, although it was colorless, the brilliance flowed in it, it was dazzling to look at, there was a crack on the surface, and a "pop" sound was heard , the jade split in two.

At this time, there was a deep mournful cry from a distance, and it was full of anger, and it lasted for a long time, and the whole water mansion was shaken.The two of them felt that their feet were shaking, Rui'er's expression changed, and he said, "Feng Yi has already sensed that the water jade and spirit body have been destroyed, and he is coming here soon, Mr. Zhan, let's go!"

The two hurried towards the door immediately, but only heard shouts coming from outside the door.As soon as the two of them left the gate of the palace, they saw that those yaksha guards had already rushed forward and surrounded the front of the gate.

Zhan Zhao had fought against these water monsters in Yizhou before, and knew that they were not difficult to deal with.But there are so many of them, it will be troublesome if Feng Yi arrives immediately.At that moment, the sword light flashed, and with a whistling sound, Emperor Zhu came out of the sheath again.Zhan Zhao's figure flashed out like lightning, and rushed towards the Yakshas.The Emperor Zhu's sword was unparalleled sharp and powerful, and it was the nemesis of the Shui Clan. At this time, Zhan Zhao was eager to take Rui'er away, and his subordinates showed no mercy.I could only hear the screams of the Yakshas, ​​the stumps were splashed with blood and flesh, and a large piece fell down in an instant. The wound was burned by Zhu Di's heat, but no blood flowed out, only a burnt smell permeated the water.

Zhan Zhao turned around and gestured to Rui'er, Rui'er pointed to the top of his head, quickly grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve with one hand, and floated up quickly, but felt a pain in his heart, Feng Yi lost Shuiyu, and his strength was greatly damaged, but he was originally The strength of the Yellow River Shenlong should not be underestimated, and Luoshen's spiritual body was destroyed, he must be furious. If he tried his best, he and Zhan Zhao would still not be his opponents.Right now, I can only leave quickly, it seems that I can't save Brother Huang.Thinking of this, Rui'er couldn't help turning her head and staring at the Water Mansion, her heart filled with grief: Brother Huang...

At this time, there was another long cry suddenly: "Mi Er—" The voice was desolate and heart-piercing.Then a huge current of water rushed in, rolling the two of them several feet away.

Rui'er held Zhan Zhao's hand tightly, managed to stabilize her figure, and said to Zhan Zhao in a low voice: "Feng Yi is here. Be careful." As soon as she said that, she saw a huge yellow dragon swimming quickly from a distance.

The yellow dragon was tens of feet long, and the two hugged each other thickly, and the pair of Fu Shan was also more than a foot long. At this time, the dragon's eyes widened with anger, and when it saw the two, it let out another long cry: "Damn—" The two felt a burst of pain again. Power came like a storm, and the figures of the two were unsteady in the water.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao flew out and rushed towards Feng Yi.Rui'er called out in a low voice: "Young Master Zhan, be careful—" Zhan Zhao had already reached a distance of more than ten feet away from Feng Yi, and saw a blood-red sword light drawn by Emperor Zhu's sword, and there was also the sound of a faint dragon chant. He cut off his head at Feng Yi.

That Feng Yi didn't expect that Zhan Zhao would dare to challenge him head-on, he opened his bloody mouth and let out a long cry, but he saw Zhan Zhao's figure like lightning, already above Feng Yi's dragon's head, and chopped off with his sword.

"Wow————" Feng Yi screamed, half of the dragon's horn had been cut off, and the top of his head was cut open by Emperor Zhu's sword, and a stream of blood gushed out and scattered into the water.

But Zhan Zhao was directly sprayed by Feng Yi's dragon's breath, and he felt an incomparably fierce force enveloping him in an instant, as if his chest had been hit by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spewed out immediately.The whole person also floated backward like fallen leaves.

Rui'er let out a low cry, and hurriedly swam over to hold Zhan Zhao's body, only to see that Zhan Zhao had already passed out from the shock, the wound on his back was shaken, and blood was oozing out again.

Feng Yi's canthus were about to burst, and his eyes were almost bleeding. He didn't expect that this mortal not only destroyed Mi'er's spiritual body and Shuiyu that he had worked so hard to condense, but also dared to hurt himself again.Seeing Rui'er hugging him again, her face was full of concern, and she flew into a rage: "None of you can escape today—"

After finishing speaking, there was another long dragon's breath, this time he tried his best.Rui'er held Zhan Zhao in one hand and hurriedly backed away.But after all, the strength was insufficient, and he was still sucked in by the huge vortex formed by the dragon's breath.

Seeing this, Rui'er knew that she was invincible, and there was no other way at the moment, she looked at Zhan Zhao's handsome face, gritted her teeth, and quickly recited the incantation in the huge water flow.

Soon, a ball of red brilliance surrounded the two of them, and Feng Yi's dragon breath could no longer shake them at all.A fist-sized fiery red bead appeared in Rui'er's hand. She closed her eyes, her long hair spread out, floating like seaweed, and her white jade-like cheeks were covered with a layer of red, making her look unparalleled.Rui'er continued to chant the mantra in a low voice, bursts of red light came out from the beads, stabbing at Feng Yi one after another like sharp knives.

"You... you actually used the fire dragon ball..." Feng Yi was shocked, but before he could finish his sentence, he was stabbed by the red light all over his body, and he couldn't help screaming again.Where the red light pierced, it hurt like a burning fire.A trace of blood dripped from the corner of Rui'er's mouth, and immediately disappeared into the water.

She was still chanting incantations, more and more red lights surrounded Feng Yi, Feng Yi screamed again and again, his long body curled up and rolled endlessly.

Rui'er knew that now that Feng Yi was still alive, as long as he was not killed, he would make a comeback.Right now, the power of the Fire Dragon Ball can only be pushed to the extreme.But the backlash of the Fire Dragon Ball also gradually appeared on her body, Rui'er's cheeks and lips gradually lost their color, and the voice of chanting the mantra gradually brought a tremor.

Feng Yi glanced at Rui'er in the painful struggle: "You... you don't even care about yourself, you must... kill me..."

Rui'er didn't answer, her voice paused for a while, but Qingyue's voice continued to sound again.

Feng Yi's skin was scorched and his flesh smelled bad. Knowing that he was doomed today, he closed his eyes and thought to himself: If you die with me, I have no regrets.He stopped struggling and waited for the fire dragon ball to burn himself into coke.

At this time, a ray of purple light flashed in the sky, Rui'er was already on the verge of falling, and felt that the fire dragon ball had disappeared in a blink of an eye.Looking again, a woman in purple shirt appeared in front of him and took away the Fire Dragon Orb. That person turned out to be the Huan Orb.She couldn't help being angry: "Huan Zhu, you—" but immediately realized that Huan Zhu's consciousness had been controlled by Feng Yi long ago.

Feng Yi suddenly felt that the light that was burning him had disappeared completely, and he relaxed his whole body, before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly fled to the water mansion, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Rui'er watched Feng Yi run away, but her whole body had no strength at all, and she couldn't move at all. When she got angry, a mouthful of blood spurted out, her eyes went dark, and her pair of star pupils slowly closed.

Huanzhu flicked the sleeves, the sleeves swelled several feet long, enveloping the two of them, and floated toward the water like an arrow.

Kaifeng City, Imperial Palace, inside Zichen Palace.

The emperor's condition has improved, and he is awake most of the time, occasionally speaking nonsense, but this has rarely occurred.At night, he still sometimes becomes manic, but as long as Bao Zheng is sent to serve him, he will soon calm down.Therefore, Bao Zheng never left the Zichen Palace, and still claimed that the emperor had suffered from the cold and was resting without seeing his foreign ministers.

There are Prime Minister Wang and the Eighth Prince in Beijing to take care of the affairs of the court, and there have been no major twists and turns.It's just that Bao Zheng is suffering, waiting day and night in the side hall of the Zichen Palace, and the food and lodging are uneasy.After a few days, my face, which was already as black as the bottom of a pot, became darker by two points.

Prime Minister Wang sent people to the Kaifeng mansion to inquire from time to time, and he was very anxious when he learned that Zhan Zhao had not returned to the mansion.Thinking of the emperor's illness, he couldn't take much care of it, and secretly ordered his staff to search for Qin Rui's whereabouts, but to no avail.

But the queen mother was worried about the emperor's illness, and the old queen mother believed in Buddhism, so she quietly invited Master Shikong, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple, to exorcise the emperor from evil spirits.

Master Shi Kong was an old acquaintance of Bao Zheng, and he was indeed an eminent monk.When they arrived at Zichen Hall, before they had time to exchange greetings with Bao Zheng, they met the emperor face to face. After entering Zichen Hall, they turned away everyone. Even the Queen Mother and the Eighth Prince were invited to wait in the side hall, leaving only him and the emperor in the hall.

After hearing Shi Kong's entry, everyone outside just murmured the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", with a deep and solemn voice, but it made people feel much more peaceful.And the emperor seems to have never said a word.Except for the sound of the old monk chanting scriptures, the entire Zichen Hall was silent.

After about three sticks of incense, the door of the temple opened with a creak, and Shi Kong walked out slowly.The Empress Dowager and others rushed out from the side hall and came forward to inquire.

Shi Kong's complexion was slightly pale, he first saluted the Empress Dowager with palms together, pointed to the side hall, and everyone walked into the side hall.After the Empress Dowager waited for the others to sit down, Shikong said slowly: "I will tell the Empress Dowager that the Emperor's condition is very bad."

The queen mother hurriedly asked: "Is the emperor bewitched?"

Shi Kong replied: "No. Empress Dowager, I don't feel any ghosts and evil spirits from the emperor."

"What's the matter with the emperor?" Shi Kong looked at the people in the hall, the queen mother understood, and ordered: "You all go down to serve the emperor." Everyone agreed to retreat, leaving only Bao Zheng and the eighth prince by his side.

Shi Kong replied: "Queen Mother, monks don't tell lies, but this matter is strange. As soon as I entered the hall, I felt a powerful dragon power. And this power came from the emperor. The "Lotus Sutra" says: The Buddha protects the Dharma, and was born in the dragon clan due to karma. The old monk recited this sutra in front of the emperor, and the power resonated with the old monk's chanting. The sound of Qingyue dragon chants can be heard endlessly. But I don’t know why the situation has improved with Master Bao’s side.” He paused for a while, then glanced at Bao Zheng, “If outsiders know about this, it’s indeed too weird, so it’s not appropriate Too many people know about it."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it. Although the emperors of all dynasties claimed to be the Son of Heaven, everyone knew that it was just a bluff.Now that the emperor is really possessed by a dragon, it is very puzzling.The Eighth Prince was even more surprised, and also took a look at Bao Zheng. The matter was actually the same as Bao Zheng thought. The Empress Dowager asked anxiously, "How did the emperor become like this? Master, do you know the way to solve it?"

Shi Kong put his palms together again and saluted: "Queen Mother, please forgive me for being blunt. I really don't know why the emperor is like this. But there is the Dragon King method in Buddhism, which can temporarily suppress this power with mantras and mudras, and can keep the emperor's mind clear."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt at ease, and hurriedly said: "Then the emperor will have Master Lao to worry about it." Shi Kong said: "That's natural, I have a duty to do so. But this method can only alleviate the disease, not cure it. Think of another way."

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.Only Bao Zheng secretly thought about Feng Yi and Qin Rui, which made him more convinced that the emperor's illness was caused by these two, but there was no news about Qin Rui from Zhan Zhao, so he did not say anything.

At that moment, the Empress Dowager ordered Shi Kong to go back to the Zichen Hall and recite it for the emperor.And Shi Kong asked Bao Zheng to go with him, and the two went together.

Then, as Shi Kong said, as long as Shi Kong gestured around the emperor and recited the mantra, and Bao Zheng was by his side, the emperor would be awake as usual, and he could even invite foreign ministers to meet him. Hide behind the scenes.But the emperor didn't remember what happened when he was insane. He just knew that if the two of them were not around, he would have fever all over his body and have unbearable headaches, so he had to let them guard him day and night.

People in Beijing gradually stabilized, and the rumors subsided.
