I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Chu Yuzhao rode his horse and galloped all the way towards Nanya Mountain.The gust of wind blew snowflakes onto his body, dyeing his eyelashes and brows white, but he didn't feel the cold at all.

He woke up from his lethargy, and when he found Luo Bai was not on the bed, he thought he could get up, and was instantly surprised and delighted.But after searching the house and the yard, no one was found, but seeing the messy straw on the window sill, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley again.

On the battlefield that day, when they saw Luo Bai being hit by an arrow, many Dogers stopped fighting and knelt down in the direction of Luo Bai. Among them, the two most emotional tribes left the battlefield under the leadership of the leader.

The hearts of the Dager soldiers were broken, but the fighting spirit of the Dayin army was unprecedentedly high, and soon the Dager soldiers were completely driven out of the border.

Chu Yuzhao killed the chieftain Jamuka with his own hands, but Luo Bai's injury did not improve for a long time.

In the past few days, he has contacted the legends of the local people, as well as the Amutuo shouted by the Dager people to Luo Bai on the battlefield, and he has already determined that he is the spirit leopard tribe.

Now that Luo Bai suddenly disappeared from the house, Chu Yuzhao immediately had a guess in his heart, and felt more and more strongly that Luo Bai went to Nanya Mountain alone after waking up.

He didn't sleep for a long time, Luo Bai hadn't left for a while, he quickly chased towards Nanya Mountain.

When he saw the lone wolf devouring venison by the roadside, he reined in the horse and quietly looked at the few straws on the wolf's neck. Hot liquid gushed out of his eyes in an instant. But it immediately became cold again.

"Cure this wolf." With a hoarse voice, Chu Yuzhao ordered the guards who were chasing up, and then galloped towards Nanya Mountain.

As soon as Chu Yuzhao arrived at the foot of Nanya Mountain, he saw a small ball lying in the snow on the stone steps.He almost fell off the horse, staggered towards him, and hugged Xiaobao with trembling hands.

Xiaobao closed his eyes tightly, his chest didn't rise and fall, his body was cold, only the warmth in his heart remained.

Chu Yuzhao went to untie his leather robe, but his hands shook so much that he couldn't untie the buckle, so he simply broke the lock roughly, and carefully stuffed Luo Bai into his arms, holding each other tightly with only a layer of middle clothes. Tie, use your own body to keep him warm.

The imperial guards also rushed over, standing by the side and not daring to make a sound.Chu Yuzhao didn't look at them, and went straight to the horse next to him, turned over and was about to get up.

But he stepped on a few times, but failed to step on the stirrup, staggered and almost fell, and knelt on one knee in the snow.A guard rushed to help, but let him push away, got on his horse again, and galloped towards the way he came.

The best doctors on the frontier gathered together in that yard again, daring to diagnose and treat the little leopard lying in the emperor's arms.

The emperor held the little leopard with closed eyes in one hand, scooped up the ginseng soup with a spoon in the other hand, and carefully fed it into the little leopard's mouth.

The ginseng soup went into Xiaobao's mouth, and then overflowed from the corner of his mouth, wet the hair on the side of his face, the emperor leaned down and whispered in his ear: "This is Mianmianbobo soup, take a sip and have a taste."

The doctors have been treating Xiaobao for several days.At first they thought it was a bit inconceivable that they were being treated as veterinarians, but seeing with their own eyes the emperor's attention to this leopard, now when they surrounded the little leopard, their cautious attitude was no less than feeling the pulse of the royal family and nobles.

In the past, they would have heated discussions and disputes over the addition of medicinal materials, but today none of them dared to speak out.

Because the little leopard had already run out of fuel, the only breath he had was a little bit of ginseng soup.

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional small thud of the spoon touching the wall of the porcelain bowl.The doctors didn't dare to vent their anger, and they were finally able to salute and leave until the emperor asked them to retreat in a tired tone.

Chu Yuzhao put down the ginseng soup bowl, took the handkerchief from Chengshou next to him, wiped off the hair on the side of Xiaobao's face, raised his head and said to Chengshou: "The doctor prescribed the prescription before, but I have to continue to drink it, but it is too bitter. , he doesn’t like it, you put a few pieces of rock sugar in it, and squeeze a few balls into it.”

Cheng Shou wanted to say something at first, but facing Chu Yuzhao's eyes that were full of red threads and sunken into the sockets, he finally swallowed all the words, nodded, turned and left the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a small noise coming from the entrance of the courtyard. Looking up, Hong Si was striding into the courtyard, followed by two people, namely Yuan Fu and Bu Qingfeng.

On the day Xiaobao was wounded, as soon as the battle was over, Chu Yuzhao did not hide any more, and told him and Hongsi that Xiaobai was a spirit leopard and also Luo Bai, and ordered Hongsi to go to the capital to mobilize all the capable people. The mobilized dark chess and power brought Bu Qingfeng and Yuan Fu out of the palace.

After receiving Chu Yuzhao's order, Hong Si rushed to the capital immediately, thinking that the three of them traveled day and night all the way, so they came back in a short time.

Seeing Yuan Fu's anxious expression, Cheng Shou knew that he understood everything, so he glanced at the door next to him, indicating that His Majesty was inside, sighed, turned and left, and went to prepare soup and medicine.

Yuan Fu and Bu Qingfeng entered the house, first greeted Chu Yuzhao, and just stood up, Yuan Fu's eyes fell on the dying leopard in his arms, tears poured out.

He had to bite the back of his hand tightly so as not to lose his composure and cry in front of the imperial court.

Chu Yuzhao looked at Bu Qingfeng, without going around in circles, and asked straight to the point with a hoarse voice: "Bu Qingfeng, you are a student of Master Xuankong, and you are good at various advanced spells. Could it be possible to detoxify him?"

Bu Qingfeng's face was full of travel and dust, and his robe had several holes. It was obvious that life in the palace was difficult during this time.

After hearing Chu Yuzhao's question, he took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to touch Xiaobao's neck.Chu Yuzhao turned sideways subconsciously, guarding Xiaobao in his arms vigilantly, and a pair of eyes flashed coldly.

Just when Bu Qingfeng was so frightened that he wanted to plead guilty, Chu Yuzhao had reacted again, withdrew the hostility that was exuding, turned around, and carefully put Xiaobao on the bed.

"Look at it."

Bu Qingfeng carefully inspected Xiaobao's wound, while Chu Yuzhao was standing by the bed.Although he didn't make a sound, his expression was still calm, but if you look carefully, his right hand, which was hanging by the edge of his robe, was trembling uncontrollably.

Yuan Fu was afraid of disturbing Bu Qingfeng, so he suppressed his choking sobs and kept raising his sleeves to wipe the tears on his face.

Bu Qingfeng pushed Xiaobao's eyelids away, put his fingers on his forehead, closed his eyes and frowned without saying a word, and after a while he let out a hey in doubt.Then he covered the little leopard's head with his whole palm, and muttered something.

Chu Yuzhao held his breath, stared at his face nervously, observing his expression silently.When Bu Qingfeng withdrew his hand and looked back, Chu Yuzhao's usually cold eyes showed panic, as if he was begging him not to say bad results.

Bu Qingfeng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the poison in Luo Bai's body is incompetent and unsolvable. But the little monk just checked it out, and his life should not be terminated."

When he said the sentence that the poison in the body cannot be cured, Chu Yuzhao's face suddenly turned gray, but when he heard the next sentence, his eyes burst into brilliance in an instant.

"Since you said that his poison can't be cured, what do you mean he should die?" Chu Yuzhao was short of breath, and his voice was hoarse like a handful of gravel mixed in his throat.

"Your Majesty, since death is inevitable, death can also be called life." Bu Qingfeng bent over and cupped his hands at Chu Yuzhao.

"Death can also be called life...Death is life...Death is life..." After Chu Yuzhao murmured a few times, he suddenly grabbed Bu Qingfeng's arm and asked, "What do you mean..."

"Your Majesty is wise." Bu Qingfeng's arm was pinched in pain, but he didn't dare to break free, he only replied cautiously: "The souls of all the dead will go to the Netherworld."

"By the way, you can open the gate of ghosts, you can open the gate of ghosts, as long as you can open the gate of ghosts, no matter where his soul has gone, you can find him back." Opening his arm, he slowly raised his hand to cover his face.

After a while, he put down his hands, his eyes were still red, but his expression had calmed down.

"Bu Qingfeng, are you sure this method can save him?"

Bu Qingfeng said: "Although I have never used this spell before, I can be sure that if someone can find his soul and bring it back, it can definitely be saved. Luo Bai's lifespan is not over and he is not included in reincarnation. , and did not appear in the book of life and death, and can only float alone on the bank of the Nai River. If the soul returns to its original place, and walks through the gate of life and death, the poison it has suffered will be healed without medicine."

"Then are there any taboo rules to follow?" Chu Yuzhao has regained his composure.

Bu Qingfeng pondered for a while: "This method has a time limit. To find the soul of the person whose lifespan is not over, he must be brought back within an hour. If the time limit is exceeded, even if he arrives in the yang world, he will only be the two of yin and yang." After a while, I became a ghost completely, and there is no possibility of resurrection. Besides, my mana is only enough to support the gate of hell to open for an hour. No matter if I can’t find him, the person looking for him must pass through the gate of ghosts within an hour, otherwise I will die. Never coming back."

Chu Yuzhao said: "I remember."

"There is another point. After the soul arrives in the underworld, its appearance is blurred. It is difficult to recognize it from the face. It can only be recognized from the body condensed by the three souls and seven souls."

"The main body condensed by three souls and seven souls?"

"For example, if the soul of the little monk goes to the underworld, my body will float out of the top of my head. Although the little monk has practiced Buddhism for a long time, he is still an ordinary person, so my body composed of three souls and seven souls should also be one. Famous monk."

"You mean... the main body of Luo Bai's three souls and seven souls should be a leopard?"

"Exactly."

"It's better this way. It's much easier to find than ordinary people." Chu Yuzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and calmly ordered, "Bu Qingfeng, let's start now. I'll go to the underworld to look for Luo Bai immediately."

"Your Majesty!" A trembling voice suddenly came from behind him, Chu Yuzhao turned his head and saw Yuan Fu had already knelt down, his forehead on the floor, "Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, please let your servants go find Luo Bai."

Chu Yuzhao looked down at Yuan Fu, and said lightly, "No, I'll pick him up personally."

"This is a dangerous trip, Your Majesty must not go, I will leave this matter to my servant." Yuan Fu raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "This servant grew up in the palace and was plotted and bullied by others. , has long been unable to live now. What's more, the slave is the rootless person, has no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, has long regarded Luo Bai as the only relative, even if he lost his life for him, the slave has no complaints at all."

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, Hong Si rushed in, also knelt on the ground with a plop, and said forcefully: "Hong Si wants to go to the underworld to pick up Mr. Luo back, please Your Majesty's permission."

"This old slave has lived to this age and is older than you. If I want to go, I will do my part. I beg Your Majesty to allow this old slave to make this trip." Eunuch Cheng walked in with a medicine bowl in his hand, walking carefully. , but his expression was very calm.

Chu Yuzhao looked around the three of them slowly, and said, "Luo Bai belongs to me, and I will go and bring him back in person. Moreover, the underworld is full of yin, and the three of you will be swallowed by the yin, let alone bring him back." It's hard to say whether people can keep themselves. But who am I? I am the Emperor Dayin who is destined by heaven, and the real dragon emperor who is invulnerable to ghosts. Do you still fear the ghosts and monsters of the underworld? This trip to the underworld, all of you No one is good, only me is the most suitable."

"His Majesty--"

"There's no need to say any more, my will has been decided, and no one can change it." Chu Yuzhao's voice was stern, "Or do you not believe in me, and think that I can't bring Luo Bai back safely?"

His words were sharp, his voice was stern, and his majesty was beyond words. The three of them didn't dare to make a sound, they just looked at him with tears and worry.

"Bu Qingfeng, let's start now." Chu Yuzhao turned to Bu Qingfeng and said.

Bu Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not enough at this time."

"no?"

Bu Qingfeng glanced at the little leopard lying on the bed next to him, and said with some embarrassment: "Luo Bai's soul hasn't gone to the underworld yet."

Chu Yuzhao had an epiphany.

That's right, Luo Bai is still alive at this time, of course his soul will not go to the underworld.

Chu Yuzhao looked down at the little leopard lying on the bed, and suddenly turned his head hastily and walked outside the house: "Then you stay here and guard him, and call me when the time comes."

He walked in such a hurry that he knocked over a stool beside him and didn't stop. He pushed open the door and went out without looking back.

The four people in the room all knew in their hearts that even if he was going to the underworld to bring Luo Bai back immediately, he still couldn't face Luo Bai's death. They just watched him lying in front of their eyes, losing life little by little.

The sky had already darkened, and the snow that had stopped at first began to drift away again, falling in large pieces and swirling in the wind.

Chu Yuzhao stood in the courtyard, snowflakes soon covered his hair and shoulders with a layer of white, he stood motionless, only when there was an occasional sound in the room, his body would tremble.

The door creaked, and Chu Yuzhao turned around quickly, staring at the door with red eyes.

Eunuch Cheng jumped in shock at that moment, and after he realized it, he hurriedly picked up the cloak in his hand: "Your Majesty, it's snowing heavily, please put on some clothes."

Eunuch Cheng put the cloak on Chu Yuzhao's shoulders, and his fingers touched the skin on the side of his neck, which was as cold as ice.He didn't dare to persuade Chu Yuzhao to go to the side room to rest, so he just held up an umbrella and covered his head.

Chu Yuzhao took the handle of the umbrella to support himself, and uttered a word with difficulty: "He..."

The rest of the words, but how can I never ask again.

Eunuch Cheng understood what he was thinking, and replied in a low voice: "It's coming soon."

The hand holding the umbrella handle was squeezed so tight that you could see the bulging veins on it, Chu Yuzhao said in a hoarse voice: "Go in, I want to be alone."

"Yes."

The wind was raging, and it seemed to be howling, and the branches were torn down by the strong wind, making the sound of breaking under the load.Chu Yuzhao stood in the courtyard with his eyes closed, his whole body turned white by the snow, like a statue without feeling or soul.

At a certain moment, as if he had sensed something suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked straight ahead.Then a line of clear tears overflowed from the corner of his eyes, and dripped down his face coldly.

At the same time, the door behind him was also opened, and Hong Si stood at the door and choked out, "Your Majesty..."

Chu Yuzhao lifted his feet stiffly, and walked into the room step by step, and saw the little ball protruding from the quilt on the bed at a glance.

He finally swayed, and was supported by Eunuch Cheng who was full of tears.

Chu Yuzhao bent down and coughed violently, and regained his composure when he lifted up after a while.He gently pushed Eunuch Cheng away, walked towards Bu Qingfeng, and said calmly, "Let's get started."

During this period of time, Bu Qingfeng had already set up the magic circle in the house, and without delay after hearing the words, he lit the talisman paper, rang the soul calling bell, and muttered something.

A sudden wind blew up inside the house, and the two rows of candles were blown to the point of collapse, but they were not extinguished. When the gust of wind stopped, the air in the open space in the center of the house began to twist, forming an endless swirling vortex.

Chu Yuzhao took off the cloak on his shoulders and threw it away. Bu Qingfeng handed over a bell: "Your Majesty, you won't be able to see the ghost gate after you pass by. If you find Luo Bai, ring the bell. will appear before you."

When Chu Yuzhao took the rattle and put it in his arms, Bu Qingfeng hesitated a little and said: "The soul body can't speak in the underworld, so your Majesty can't tell Luo Bai through dialogue, and it will take a lot of work." .Besides, he is a new soul, so he may lose his mind. If he can’t remember, it’s normal, and he’ll be fine when he comes back.”

Chu Yuzhao nodded silently, indicating that he understood, and Bu Qingfeng handed over an inverted cone-shaped hourglass: "Your Majesty, take this hourglass with you, and it will take an hour for the sand to leak out. You must come back before that."

Chu Yuzhao hung the hourglass on his belt and strode towards the whirlpool. Hong Si shouted unwillingly behind him: "Your Majesty, let me go."

"I beg Your Majesty to think again and let the old slave go."

"Let the slaves pick up Luo Bai."

Eunuch Cheng and Yuan Fu also begged bitterly.

Chu Yuzhao didn't respond, and didn't stop until he reached the whirlpool, turned his head and said gently to the three of them: "Don't worry, I will bring Luo Bai back safely, you just wait."

After speaking, he turned around and stepped into the whirlpool without hesitation.
