There is a fake demigod in the East Palace

Once Wen Bin died, the case ended with Gong Ziming being imprisoned.The haze brought by Kaiyang Group was quickly dispelled by the approach of the Spring Festival.

Every New Year's Eve, members of the royal family, including the empress, go to the Li Palace in the north of the city to celebrate the new year, and return to the palace one after another after the Lantern Festival.Because the Li Palace was the location of the Imperial Palace thousands of years ago, the Rong family originated here. Today, the spiritual tablets of the emperors of all dynasties are also enshrined in the Fengying Hall of the Li Palace.

Tonight, the annual New Year's Eve speech is replaced by the prince, and the empress is rarely at leisure.After the family banquet, when everyone's eyes were on the Zichen Hall where Rong Zheng delivered his speech, the Queen stepped back and entered the Fengying Hall alone.

Thousands of long-burning lamps are lit in Fengying Hall, which are as bright as day all year round.When the Queen entered the palace, a person was already waiting there.

A lot of snow fell outside the palace, and the queen's snow-stained hem left long water stains on the ground.She didn't give half a look to the person in the hall, and went straight to the tablet in the center of the hall, and lit an ever-burning lamp with her own hands.

The queen held up the lamp, carefully placed it in front of Taizu's spirit, and asked the people behind her, "Are you guilty?"

Half a minute passed and the man didn't answer.

The queen turned around, looked at the person in front of her, and said softly, "Kneel down."

There was only a "bang", and the sound of knees smashing into stone slabs sounded in the hall.These soft and gentle words seemed to carry an invisible coercion, forcibly bending that person's back.

Blood dripped down, staining Wujin's slate red in a short while, and at the same time, a huge golden magic circle emerged on the ground.

Looking closely, this magic circle is composed of densely packed mantras.Weird and grotesque incantations are like capillaries, twisting and twisting in every corner.

"Zhong Yu." The empress sighed deeply, and the golden light illuminated the disappointment in her eyes: "The matter of Wen Bin, with your ability, shouldn't have ended like this. This is the first time you have let me down so much."

Zhong Yu's Adam's apple moved up and down, swallowing the blood surging in his chest: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The queen bent down and looked straight into Zhong Yu's dark eyes.After a while, she asked, "Do you have a different heart?"

Zhong Yu slightly raised his eyes, his gaze passed the empress, and landed on the dark coffin behind her.The tablet in the center of the main hall stood erect, and the heroic spirits of the ancestors were watching him silently.

"No." Zhong Yu said.

The queen nodded in satisfaction, she believed Zhong Yu's answer.She knew that he would not have a different heart, nor could he.

"Let me remind you again, a blood oath has been made between you and me." The queen stretched out her long and slender nails, gently touching the edge of the mask.Fingernails scraped against the metal edge, making a hair-raising sound.

"Against my will, you will be backlashed a thousand times by the blood oath, I hope you will do it yourself." After saying that, the queen straightened up: "Don't forget who you are."

What is my identity?Zhong Yu couldn't help laughing, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood again.

"Who do you say I am?" Zhong Yu asked softly.

500 years ago, Zhong Yu was just an idle Taoist priest of the mountain sect, with mediocre martial arts and mediocre cultivation.

When he was seven years old, a man with a ghost face came down from the mountain.The man said that this child has excellent bones and is a rare talent that is rare in a hundred years, and he wanted to take him away by force and take him as a disciple.

Zhong Yu's teacher seems to be ordinary, but the master is an expert.The head of the sect saw through the identity of the ghost-masked man at a glance, and also knew what Zhong Yu would face after being taken away, so he put all his strength into trying to protect this little disciple.

However, due to the disparity in strength, after a great battle, the family was destroyed.

In the end, Zhong Yu followed the ghost-masked man and left without hearing from him.

There was a Fengying Hall in the imperial palace at that time, and there was a questioning platform in the Fengying Hall.One day, the national teacher who had been traveling for many years suddenly brought back a half-grown child.Not long after, a raging fire ignited on the questioning platform.

This fire burned for seven thousand days and nights. Some people said that it was a will-o'-the-wisp from hell, and anyone who approached it without permission would die.Some people say that this is Dasheng's soul fire, as long as it burns for one day, it can ensure the prosperity of the dynasty.

Zhong Yu knew what this fire was, it was the Brahma fire that Rong Jiuge brought down from the sky.He has experienced countless life and death in this fire, always dying in pain and waking up in despair.Every death is not the end for him, but the beginning of the next round of torture.

At the beginning, he could only hold on for a moment in the fire, and as soon as he touched the flame, his whole body would turn into black smoke.As his age continued to grow, the fire burned on him for several years, but it couldn't burn his heart.

Finally, one day after [-] days, the Brahma fire was extinguished and never lit again.Zhong Yu woke up from the ashes and would not die again.No one could end his life any longer, not those who made him, not those who bound him with blood, not even himself.

The previous national teacher fell away, and Zhong Yu succeeded him as the new national teacher. Before that, every national teacher of the dynasty was born in this way, and the man destined by God would have a golden bone in the Brahma fire.With the red gold bones, he inherited the divine power from the heavens, and since then he has never been born, never died, never died.

This method is ten thousand deaths, and almost no one can wake up in the fire of Brahma.

"When I woke you up 30 years ago, you were a knife in my hand." The queen pursed her lips lightly, showing a cruel smile: "Either go through fire and water for me, or go to hell forever."

Zhong Yu laughed when he heard this: "Do you think going to hell is a punishment for me?"

For 300 years, Zhong Yu assisted several monarchs and did all the things that are beyond the tolerance of heaven.The emperor is also afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night, so these dirty things that should go to the eighteenth level of hell are done by Zhong Yuzhi.

When committing all kinds of atrocities on behalf of the emperor, Zhong Yu actually didn't feel any guilt.He hated everyone in Dasheng Dynasty, and every time there was a bloodbath in the court, he could feel the joy of revenge.

Finally, after being a ghost for 300 years, he was no longer satisfied with this, and personally launched a revenge against the dynasty.

Zhong Yu's revenge this time was the biggest catastrophe in the history of the empire.After the coup, the court was littered with corpses, and the prosperous Rong Dynasty almost fell overnight.

But Zhong Yu is a sword of the dynasty, and a sword can never defeat its master. In the end, he still lost to the then emperor Gaozong.

After the crisis subsided, Gaozong decided to abandon the knife.But even the lord can't end Zhong Yu's life, he can only destroy the records related to Zhong Yu, imprison him in the underground palace forever, and never reappear in the world.

Facing the long and boundless life soberly is the most despairing, Zhong Yu first noticed Gao Zong's intentions, and took the opportunity to escape from the palace.He ordered a confidant disciple at that time to find a place with good mountains and rivers, and he personally built a coffin and sealed himself there forever.

Until 30 years ago, the empress dowager at that time got the secret method from nowhere and awakened him again.From the moment Zhong Yu was summoned by the queen, he made another blood oath with the future monarch.

Restricted by the blood oath, Zhong Yu is not allowed to leave the range of the Dasheng Dragon Vein for life. This Dragon Vein is full of calculations and its diameter is no more than one hundred kilometers.He can't go against the will of the lord, let alone break the blood oath without authorization. If he violates any of the above items, he will be punished by the oath backlash.

The cruelty of the blood oath is not something ordinary people can bear. Zhong Yu used to relive the torture of being burned by the fire of Brahma every day for half a year.But whether it's Abi Hell or Shura Niejing, it's not like Zhong Yu can't face it calmly.It's just that after being a "ghost" for nearly 500 years, he still hopes to be a "human" once again.

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly. The matter is over, and your priority now is to refine the longevity pill." After the whip, it's time to give a sweet date.The queen leaned down and helped the person kneeling on the ground up herself: "I am actually hibernating on purpose this time. I set the target high enough so that no one will see it."

Zhong Yu understood that the empress was talking about Rong Zheng, and the court was undercurrents. The empress had let the prince take care of state affairs temporarily, and asked him to deliver a New Year's speech. In fact, she deliberately pushed him to the forefront.

"For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, let's not talk about it." The Empress held on to Zhong Yu's hand, and went to the window with him. The blood on Zhong Yu's chest was still wet, and the lights outside the window were bright.

"I want you to help me enjoy this endless country forever!" She patted the back of Zhong Yu's hand lightly, and said, "I know what you want, what you couldn't do 200 years ago, now you and I can do it together." Finish."

The empress knew why Zhong Yu was willing to assist him, because the throne was in her hands, and would even be passed on to her mother's family in the future. For the Rong family, it would mean that the country changed hands and the foundation of the ancestors was ruined.

This is the result Zhong Yu wanted to see.

At this time, Zhong Yu looked at the beautiful and prosperous scene outside the window, his eyes were indifferent.This dynasty has already broken its warts and carbuncles as he wished, and he doesn't care who will rule the ups and downs in the future.

In fact, what the empress said is wrong, Zhong Yu is not incapable of ending his destiny, and the blood oath is not insoluble, as long as he finds someone to walk his own path like the previous national teacher, he will be able to retire safely. to die.

It's just that Zhong Yu has done all kinds of bad things in this life, but he can't bear to let another innocent person live like him.

Fortunately, everything in the world has an organic debate. Zhong Yu's hundred years of painstaking efforts finally allowed him to study the method to break the blood oath.As long as he is willing to peel off the red gold bones tempered in the Brahma fire, he can cleanse his sinews and marrow, and be reborn as a human being.

But the heavens will not treat the treacherous and evil people favorably. Zhong Yu was not considered a living person hundreds of years ago. As the red gold bones dried up, his physical body would also be annihilated.

Zhong Yu thought that he had exhausted everything and could not end this kind of limitless life, but unexpectedly, when he wanted to live a good life, he found the way to hell.

The author says:

Zhong Yu's situation was that when he was young, he was forcibly kidnapped by the royal family and returned to work. After a long period of inhumane job training, he was forced to sign a lifetime contract.

There are contract constraints, Zhong Yu must obey the boss's command.Now he wants to break the contract, but it will cost a lot.
