Chu Chen Kee

Chang'an in June also has a grace and luxury not found elsewhere.

Concubine Bai was buried in the tomb of concubines in the imperial mausoleum, and was buried according to the ritual system of noble concubines, which can be regarded as extremely honorable.

A wide and straight bluestone road stretched along the neat trees on both sides, and finally stopped abruptly in front of a tall and magnificent tombstone without words.

This tombstone was cast by a craftsman ordered by an empress decades ago, and there is no word left on it.Not to mention other things, few people can match the open-mindedness of this merit and demerit commented by later generations.

The imperial guards guarded the entrance of the cemetery, because the superiors had already greeted them, so after seeing Bai Yi and Li Yuchen with them, they didn't stop them, so they let them in.

Bai Yi walked to the front of Concubine Bai's grave, and saw that the new white pot had turned yellow, paper money was spread among the new soil, the incense candle was still burning, and the faint flame looked faint and fragile under the sunlight.

The guard who brought them here cautiously flattered him: "Master Bai, please forgive me."

Looking at the words on the tombstone, Bai Yi felt another pressure in his throat. Enduring the grief in his heart, he asked softly, "What is the reason for the funeral of Concubine Bai?"

The guard paused, swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice, "Didn't you say you died of illness?"

Death?

Bai Yi looked at the guard coldly.

The guard's scalp was numb from his stare, and finally he knelt on the ground and couldn't stop saying: "Master Bai, forgive me, the younger one is just a guard of the garden, and he doesn't know anything!"

Bai Yi took a step back and said expressionlessly, "You step back."

Seeing the guard's reaction, Bai Yi knew that this incident was definitely related to Princess Yuzhen's treason.

Only this matter will make everyone keep secret.

He once gave Concubine Bai a Sanqing Pill, although it could not guarantee her a long life, but her health would be safe for decades.

Li Yuchen had a white ribbon tied on his head, his identity should not be exposed, and Bai Yi could only use this method to make him wear mourning for the concubine Bai.

He looked at the cold tombstone quietly, and the woman who had settled in his memory suddenly became clear again.

Mother……

It was the first time that Li Yuchen seriously examined this title.

"Kowtow three times to your mother." Bai Yi looked down at Li Yuchen.

When Li Yuchen heard this, a hint of complexity flashed in his beautiful eyes, but he still obediently knelt down in front of the concubine Bai's tomb, and earnestly kowtowed three times.

Bai Yi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a trace of determination in his eyes: "Sister, I will definitely take good care of him. Those who hurt you...I will never let them go!"

Li Yuchen raised his head slightly, facing the direction of the sun, he couldn't see Bai Yi's face.

When the two stood up, Bai Yi said, "Back back a little."

Li Yuchen retreated as he said.

Bai Yi made a seal with his left hand and cast the soul-attracting spell, hoping to sense the soul of Concubine Bai.

When human beings die, the soul will not leave the body quickly, but gradually lose the five senses, the three souls will be washed by the power of heaven and earth, and then enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Bai Yi chanted the incantation for a while, but got nothing. Instead, he sensed some strange powers in the four corners of Concubine Bai's tomb.

As soon as his expression changed, Li Yuchen immediately exploded the four corners with his palm thunder.

I saw that there were four black jars buried in four places, sealed with human skin charms, and nailed to death with soul locks.

Li Yuchen was stunned for a moment, and then felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead: "Who did this?"

This is obviously an extremely vicious soul-refining technique. The soul-refiner will be refined into three souls and seven souls within 21 days. Not to mention the miserable death, there is no possibility of reincarnation, and it will only disappear in the world. , no such person!

Concubine Bai encountered such a situation during her lifetime and endured suffering after her death. What kind of catastrophe should it be for a mortal like her?

Bai Yi stood quietly on the spot, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and the ground began to tremble slightly after a while.

Li Yuchen's heart tightened, and he saw that Bai Yi's blue robe was windless and automatic, but there was no expression on his face.There is nothing greater than death in the heart. When people mourn to the extreme, they cannot shed tears.

The shaking of the ground suddenly became violent, and the ground was torn apart, and the cracks continued to extend to the distance.

Bai Yi felt that his heart was in extreme pain, his chest felt tight in a trance, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The aura in the Purple Mansion was suddenly uncontrollable, his complexion became paler, and there were signs of madness!

"Dilong turned over!" Seeing the nearby guards, they all yelled and fled outside the cemetery.

The earthquake was so violent that even the gatekeeper statues near the gate collapsed one after another, let alone the nearby mausoleum?

Seeing this, Li Yuchen immediately stretched out his arms to hug Bai Yi, and patted him lightly to restrain Bai Yi. He never thought that Bai Yi, who was standing motionless, would quickly avoid him, and was about to fly towards the palace. go.

It was only when he rose up with the sword that he was suppressed by a force.

"Wake up! Yi, don't be controlled by your demons." Li Yuchen put one arm around Bai Yi's waist, the other hand protected his back, and a majestic spiritual force rushed into his body. In the body, began to guide those disordered spiritual power.

I saw that Bai Yi's eyes were turning red again. Suddenly, a righteous spirit centered on the wordless stele outside, instantly covering the area ten miles away, and the vibration on the ground gradually stopped.

As soon as Bai Yi came into contact with this force, it seemed that the endless violence and hatred in his heart were gradually calmed down, and then he calmed down and no longer struggled.

"Infinite Life Buddha, both of you are outsiders, why bother to limit yourself to the cycle of life and death in front of you?" An old man with white beard and hair came from the entrance of the cemetery, looking at Bai Yi with clear eyes.

Bai Yi was full of bitterness. As soon as he lowered his head, he saw the worry in Li Yuchen's eyes. He couldn't help biting his lower lip, and said after a while, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."

The old man smiled heartily, and said, "Little friend is a smart person, and the old Taoist is the kind of person I like the most."

Bai Yi glanced at him, "I don't know who the senior is?"

This old Taoist priest was the same old man who had rescued him in front of the Baifu gate and scared Xie Yun away.

"Hahahaha, the old Taoist is just helping others to see a cemetery." The old man smiled, turned his eyes, but saw the evil spirits that were blasted by Li Yuchen's palm thunder.

The smile on his face stagnated, and then there was anger in his eyes: "I didn't expect... that fellow is so vicious!"

Bai Yi's heart tightened, and then he asked: "Senior, do you know who did it?"

The old man sighed, and told him very cryptically: "This matter...forgive the old Taoist priest for not being able to talk about it, but maybe you can ask that Princess Yuzhen about it."

Bai Yi didn't know why the old man didn't want to tell him directly, but gave him hints around the bush, but it would be easy if he had clues.

He nodded to the old man to express his gratitude, and then asked another question: "The tablet without writing just now..."

The old man shook his head: "Hey, it's from my old immortal hands. It's nothing, there are just some things in Zhenzhen's garden. It was designed by that person at the beginning, but in the end, I have to guard this place for the rest of my life..."

He smiled wryly as if thinking of something, then waved his hand and said, "You don't need to talk about this matter, if you want to find out the cause of Concubine Bai's death, it's better to do it before it's too late. I'm afraid it will be too late!"

When Bai Yi heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, and left with Li Yuchen.

The old man watched the two leave the cemetery, then sighed and complained: "I can't take care of this mess. No one in the Li family can rest easy."

However, there was still a calm indifference in those eyes.

"He's going to prison?" In Xingqing Palace, Li Chenhuan was looking at the notebook in his hand while listening to the guard's reply.

He did not expect that Bai Yi would find out the cause of Concubine Bai's tragic death.

The guard who reported back nodded, and then asked hesitantly, "Do you need...to silence?"

Li Chenhuan put down the vermilion pen in his hand, looked up at his confidant, and smiled lightly after a while: "It's not necessary, in fact, he should have already guessed the murderer. I went to the prison to find Yuzhen, just to make sure. After all, apart from that Xie Yun, no one has any deep hatred against them."

"But at that time, Your Highness, you..." The confidant has been unable to guess Li Chenhuan's thoughts.

It is said that Li Chenhuan likes Bai Yi, so he should protect his only sister very well. Why did he let them catch Bai Concubine smoothly when he already knew that Princess Yuzhen was going to force the palace?

At that time, Li Chenhuan led the emperor to evacuate to a safe place, but only neglected the concubine Bai who was right next to the emperor. This point is very unreasonable.

Hearing this, Li Chenhuan glanced at him lightly, and then said: "You don't understand... Concubine Bai will be an obstacle."

Concubine Bai probably doesn't even know how much she values ​​Bai Yi.But there are not many people who can influence Bai Yi, but Concubine Bai is definitely one of them.

If Concubine Bai wanted Bai Yi to marry a wife and have children well, so as to continue the Bai family's offspring, Bai Yi would definitely not disobey his elder sister's wishes.

how to say?

Li Chenhuan would not take the initiative to deal with Concubine Bai, but if he could use the hands of others to remove her obstacle, he would be happy to see it succeed.

It's just that I didn't expect Yuzhen and Xie Yun to strike so hard.

His confidants naturally didn't understand Li Chenhuan's calculations, and said after a while: "The man in the imperial tomb gave Lord Bai a hint."

Li Chenhuan was very relaxed when he heard this.

He moved his wrist a little bit, then picked up his pen and continued to help his father, or to help himself review the memorials piled up on the table, and said lightly: "Don't worry about this, he won't meddle in the Li family's affairs blatantly."

In fact, the old man wished he could stay away from all these right and wrong?

Thinking of this, Li Chenhuan couldn't help showing a contemptuous smile.

That old Taoist priest was a deep secret hidden by the royal family of the Li family. Even his royal father didn't know this secret.Because back then, his grandfather only told this matter to the real heir of the world, who was also under six years old.

The old emperor was very accurate in seeing people. He knew that his son Li Tianxi was cowardly and unlikely to achieve great things, but his eldest grandson was the most suitable heir to the throne.

But having a grandson but not a son, I was afraid that the eldest grandson would be too young to be stable, so he chose his father to inherit the throne.As for the rebellion of the other sons, it was just an excuse for him to make his unworthy prince the crown prince.

Since ancient times, the Tian family has no father and son. This sentence contains the blood, tears and calculations of countless people.

However, who can experience the feeling of being too cold at a high place?
