Strange Records of Xijing

As soon as they heard that Pei Huaiyu's life was at stake, neither Pei Jingxing nor Su Yan had time to guess why the national teacher would know that Su Yan would stay at Pei's house tonight, so they hurriedly followed Daotong, got into the carriage parked at the gate, and rushed over anxiously.

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and Habayashi guards guarding the palace gate stepped forward to search.

Dao Tong stood guard outside the carriage, leaned forward at this time, and said to the two people in the carriage: "The national teacher said that Mr. Pei's life and death are unknown now, and I will ask Pei Jie to wait outside the hall later, so as not to be affected by the evil spirit on his body." To Mr. Pei."

Pei Jingxing wondered: "How does the national teacher know that Su Yan is staying at my house tonight, and how does he know that I will come together?"

Xiao Daotong smiled, and the dimples around his mouth were really cute: "The national teacher is like a god, these are of course nothing to worry about."

Pei Jingxing was bored, so he didn't speak any more.

The Habayashi guard who was in charge of guarding the palace gate tonight got the news early, and saw that there was still Pei Jingxing sitting in the carriage, he didn't make things difficult for the group of people, and quickly let them go.

The carriage was parked outside the hall, Pei Jingxing could only stay in the carriage, habitually paying attention to the movement around him, while Su Yan was led by two palace men with lanterns, and entered the hall together with Xiao Daotong.

Entering the hall, a middle-aged man in bright yellow uniform sat on the main seat with an anxious expression on his face.

Xiao Dao Tong stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Xiao Tong pays homage to His Majesty. I will report to Your Majesty, and Daoist Su Yansu will bring you here."

The emperor looked at Su Yan: "This is Daoist Su? As expected, he is young and promising."

Gao Zekai at the side heard the displeasure in the emperor's words, and said, "Friend Su, why don't you be polite when you see His Majesty?"

Su Yan glanced at the unhappy emperor, then at Xiaodao boy beside him, imitating the example: "Meet Your Majesty."

The emperor's face looked better now: "Daozhang Su came just in time. Come, please go inside to report and ask the national teacher to come out."

After a while, the national teacher came out and seeing Su Yan, his gloomy face finally turned bright: "Fellow Daoist Su, you came just in time. Your Majesty, I will take Fellow Daoist Su in first."

The emperor nodded: "National Teacher, Huaiyu will be entrusted to you."

"I will live up to your Majesty's entrustment." The national teacher gave Gao Zekai a look, and then led Su Yan into the depths of the hall.

Pei Huaiyu was lying on the bed, her shirt had been taken off, revealing her white chest that had not been seen all year round.The wound on his chest was no longer bleeding, but the flesh and blood exposed at the edge of the wound had all turned black, and the fist-sized wound showed no signs of healing.

Being pierced through the chest by a female ghost's punch, such a severe injury on an ordinary person, even if he didn't die on the spot, it wouldn't last long.

Pei Huaiyu first got Su Yan's help to stop the bleeding, and then the national teacher took action, so Pei Huaiyu barely survived.But his wound showed no signs of healing, even if it was a national teacher, it was impossible to keep Pei Huaiyu's soul in check.

"Su Daoyou, you have also seen Mr. Pei's injury." The national teacher did not greet Su Yan politely, and cut straight to the point, "Now only with your blood can he save his life."

"My blood?" Su Yan was puzzled, "What can my blood be used for?"

Of course Su Yan didn't mean to be stingy with a drop or two of blood, but he always wanted to know the reason for this.

The national teacher looked at Su Yan and said, "Don't you know, Daoist Su? That day you were seriously injured by my senior brother, and your life was in danger. Even I was helpless. Later, I saw that fellow Daoist Su's wound healed by himself. Ordinary people. Your blood may really have the effect of resurrecting the flesh and bones of the dead."

"..." Su Yan was full of doubts. He grew up so big, and he had never heard of anyone's blood having such an effect.

It's just that Pei Huaiyu's situation can't help him to think too much now, so Su Yan can only temporarily put down his guard against the national teacher, and ask straightforwardly: "How much blood do you want?"

After the initial surprise, the national teacher returned to normal: "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. How about this, why don't you drip a few drops of blood on the wound first, and let's see the situation before making the next step."

Su Yan was also unambiguous, pierced his index finger, and dripped blood on Pei Huaiyu's wound.

As soon as Su Yan's blood touched Pei Huaiyu's wound, it was immediately absorbed by the flesh and blood.After a while, foul-smelling black blood slowly flowed from the edge of the wound.

The national teacher said happily: "It works, come here, bring a copper basin and a handkerchief."

Dao Tong who was accompanying him immediately brought a copper basin and some clean handkerchiefs in his hands.He put the copper basin on the footsteps beside the bed, and wiped off the black blood from the wound with a veil. One veil was stained with black blood, so he threw it into the copper basin, and changed another veil to continue wiping.

After repeating this several times, Pei Huaiyu's flesh and blood finally turned from black to red, but there was still some dirty blood mixed in.

This time there was no need for the national teacher to speak, Su Yan dripped a few more drops of blood on it.

When the black blood from the wound ran out, something unexpected happened.

The wound that was originally the size of a fist healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it weren't for the fact that there was a piece of skin on the chest that was different in color from the surrounding area, it would have been impossible to tell that there was an original wound here.

Seeing Su Yan's surprised look, the national teacher asked, "Fellow Daoist Su, didn't you know that your blood has this effect?"

Su Yan shook his head: "Never heard of it."

The national teacher pondered for a moment, described the situation that day to Su Yan in detail, and asked: "Has the envoy of Pei Street ever told Su Yan?"

Su Yan gave the national teacher a strange look: "No."

The national teacher smiled faintly: "No matter what, it is good that Mr. Pei is safe."

At this time, Pei Huaiyu, who was lying on the bed, let out a muffled groan, struggled and shouted: "Su Daochang, run!"

The last thing he remembered was that he was lying on the ground and vaguely heard Su Yan's voice.

This is Huangquan, as the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, even Daoist Su may not be the opponent of those female ghosts.I was hit hard by this, and it seems that I can't survive, but Daoist Su still has a chance to fight for his life, so I can't hold back any longer!

The national teacher heard this, and laughed out loud: "Huaiyu, this child, although he is a bit foolish and lacks perseverance, his heart is true."

Su Yan glanced at the national teacher, but said nothing.

The national teacher was also quite self-aware, so he asked Xiaodaotong to take out the copper basin, and said: "Your Majesty is still waiting in front, please trouble Fellow Daoist Su to take care of you here, I will go out and report to the Holy Majesty first."

The emperor in the front hall heard that Pei Huaiyu was fine, and let out a long sigh: "Thank you, the national teacher. If anything happens to Huaiyu, I can't explain it to my ancestors."

The national teacher bowed and said: "Your Majesty is too worried."

The emperor glanced at the inner eunuch next to him, who understood and led everyone back.

When there was no third person in the hall, the emperor asked in a low voice: "Master, is that bone still there?"

The national teacher replied: "The bones are still there."

Seeing that he did not hesitate, the emperor was relieved: "As a descendant, I dare not comment on the deeds of my ancestors. If Emperor Wu hadn't made a decisive decision back then, I would not have the 500-year-long foundation of my Great Zhou Dynasty today. The only thing I can do , just treat Huaiyu better."

The national teacher smiled: "Your Majesty has a benevolent heart, and Emperor Wu should be relieved to know about it."

The emperor nodded wearily: "I have been busy all night, thank you for your hard work. Since Huaiyu is fine, I ask the national teacher for another matter, and ask the national teacher to take care."

The national teacher restrained his smile when he heard the words, and replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely present the Bainiao Chaofeng Clothes to Your Majesty."

The emperor took a deep look at the national teacher, got up and said: "In this case, I will wait for the good news."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

On the day that Pei Huaiyu entered the palace, Mr. Qu was found by his servants in the hanging beam home, and left eight blood words on the wall - a hundred birds face the phoenix, and the dragon returns to the sea.

It has been 30 years since the case of abolishing the prince, and the child of Chuipiao is now in his thirties, but he still shudders when he hears the word abolishing the prince.

The people of Xijing were born at the feet of the emperor and were well informed. After a while, the identity of Mr. Qu was dug out.And it was precisely because of his identity that the eight blood characters left behind by him looked different.

Everyone guessed that "Hundred Birds Chaofeng" refers to the "Hundred Birds Chaofeng Clothes" given to the deposed prince by the late emperor.It is rumored that it took half a year to complete the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Clothes, and its brilliance is dazzling, comparable to the seamless nipples in the legend. It is a pity that after the deposed prince got it, he loved it like a treasure and never showed it to others.

As for Qianlong returning to the sea, Qianlong, does it mean the blood of the abolished prince?However, the first emperor decreed that all the wives, concubines and children of the deposed prince would be murdered, and none of them would be kept. How would the blood of the deposed prince flow down?

The creativity of the common people is always boundless. In less than half a day, the streets and alleys of Xijing were full of rumors.

Some people said that the former emperor still kept the youngest daughter of the abolished prince and fostered her in an ordinary family because of his old love.But he didn't want that one year the old department of the abolished prince would come to his door, kidnap the young girl, raise her carefully, and wait for one day to regain the throne that should have belonged to the abolished prince.

Some also said that after the death of the deposed prince, the hostility persisted for a long time, and gradually turned into a resentful spirit, lurking in a corner of Xijing, waiting for the time to come.Mr. Qu committed suicide by hanging himself, but he was actually killed by the deposed prince's anger.

Others said that the abolished prince had the courage to raise troops to rebel because he secretly raised 30 private soldiers.The cost of raising soldiers is huge, where did the deposed prince get the money?It turned out that the abolished prince accidentally obtained a treasure trove with inexhaustible supplies of gold, silver and jewels, which allowed him to have such financial resources to support his 30 private soldiers.Later, the abolished prince was defeated, and his treasure was kept in a secret place. Only by finding Bai Niao Chao Fengyi, could he get the clue.

In addition, there are no fewer than [-] kinds of sayings. After listening to what others have said, everyone will add some of their own opinions to it, and then tell another group of people.

The Qianlong returns to the sea, no matter whether the Qianlong is the wraith of the deposed prince or the remaining blood, since it is going to return to the sea, it is time to show its power.

The rumors reached the emperor's ears. Although he was not restless, he was still a little worried.It happened that Pei Huaiyu strayed into the underworld in the royal private treasury at this time, which made the emperor even more worried about whether there were resentful spirits in it.

Thirty years ago, he was only in his early ten years old. After the death of the deposed prince, the prince's mansion was confiscated, and he did not know the whereabouts of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Yi.

On the one hand, he ordered his confidant inner eunuch to take people to look for Bai Niao Chao Feng Yi in the Wuliang Hall where the relics of the deposed prince were stored; , the booklet that originally recorded the treasures confiscated by the Prince's Mansion has been lost, and no one knows whether there are hundreds of birds and phoenix clothes in the countless boxes in the Wuliang Hall.

As the so-called law does not blame the public, when the rumors of abolishing the prince are spreading throughout Xijing, the emperor is not easy to get angry casually.But he is not worried, now that there is a national teacher sitting in Xijing, and Pei Huaiyu has regained consciousness, as long as he finds Bai Niao Chao Fengyi, why should he be afraid of the lineage of the deposed prince whose existence has not yet been confirmed?

In the apse, Pei Huaiyu opened his eyes with difficulty, and found himself lying on a soft bed, dazed for a moment.

"Daozhang Su?" Seeing Su Yan standing beside him, Pei Huaiyu was very surprised, "Where are we? Are we all dead?"

"..." Su Yan spoke after a while, "No, this is the imperial palace."

"Daozhang Su, you saved me!" Pei Huaiyu said excitedly, "Daozhang Su, this is the second time you saved me!"

"Yeah." Su Yan responded, "Just wake up."

"Wait, wasn't I in Huangquan before?" Pei Huaiyu slowly remembered the previous events, his expression excited, "Su Daochang, I know where Bai Niao Chao Feng Yi is!"

Su Yan raised his eyebrows, squeezed the formula with his right hand, and chanted a few spells to ensure that the conversation between the two would not be spread outside, and then said: "Speak slowly."

"Bainiaochao Fengyi is at Huapi." Pei Huaiyu recalled the conversation of the three female ghosts, "I overheard the conversation of the three female ghosts at Huangquankou. The people in the phoenix clothes. Later, they told me personally that Bai Niao Chao phoenix clothes are kept by the painted skin. Su Daochang, what is the painted skin?"

"It's a kind of monster." Su Yan heard Pei Huaiyu talk about the new ghost in Huangquan, and knew that it was Mr. Qu.

On that day, he overheard the conversation between Mr. Qu and Mrs. Hu, and originally planned to find a chance to pay a visit to see if he could learn about Bai Niao Chaofengyi from Mr. Qu, but he didn't want Mr. Qu to leave half a day later. He committed suicide at home.

It can be seen that Bainiao Chaofengyi is not a good thing.

"Don't tell anyone about this matter." Su Yan told Pei Huaiyu cautiously, "Your injury is not healed, so rest well at home, and I will look for it myself."

Pei Huaiyu also knew what she was like now, insisting on following would add to the confusion, so she nodded quickly: "Don't worry, Daoist Su, I will definitely not tell others."

When Su Yan came out of the hall, Pei Jingxing, who had already sat impatiently in the carriage, went up to meet him.

"How about it?"

There was joy in Su Yan's usually calm eyes: "Pei Huaiyu is fine."

After getting into the carriage, Su Yan whispered in his ear: "Bainiao Chaofengyi was taken away by Huapi."
