Mask of Rebirth

God made a big joke with Lu Yang.

That glass of wine should have been drunk by him.Damn it should be him too.

Maybe because he is the right man, he shouldn't die.The little eunuch who tried the wine suddenly died of poison, and saved Lu Yang's life at a critical moment.When he thought that the wine poured from the same pot had been delivered to Wei Ziyang's hands, he rushed here anxiously, everything was a foregone conclusion.

After the autopsy, the imperial physician came to the conclusion that this wine was poisonous to the marquis who saw blood, and a single drop of it could kill a person!The strange thing is that Wei Ziyang seems to have known that wine is poisonous, and the blackened silver needle left in the corner is the best proof.

He deliberately sent to die!

It was getting light, and Lu Yang was still sitting on the ground holding Wei Ziyang's body tightly, his eyes were empty, and he seemed to be absent-minded.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su has already gone, so I'm sorry."

Lu Yang was still stroking Wei Ziyang's hair, again and again, tenderly, as if the person in his arms was just asleep, his movements were so careful and gentle.It's a pity that this tenderness came too late, he couldn't feel it at all.

"Have you found out who poisoned it?"

"Well, if you go back to the emperor, you did find an assassin last night. This person is really strong in martial arts. Although he was seriously injured, he escaped."

"Continue to investigate for me! I want to know who did it!"

"Yes!"

"Also...send someone to spread the news."

"Yes!" Eunuch Li has never seen the emperor show such an expression, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, thinking that these two people are really destined for each other! "Do you want to send Mr. Su's body there together?"

"He is mine, no one can take it away!"

"Your Majesty!" There are so many important matters in the court waiting for the Emperor to deal with. If he is immersed in this kind of grief and can't get out, it's okay, "My Majesty, your condolences, this man has already passed away, you should let him go to the ground as soon as possible to pay for it." Ann is."

Lu Yang shook his head slightly, "No, I will take him back and guard him day and night."

"emperor!"

"Pass down the order and return to court!"

Eunuch Li sighed secretly, but bowed his head in agreement.

In the end, Lu Yang still did not take away Wei Ziyang's body. Lu's army was stopped by Qin's army when they crossed the border. Qin Mu personally led the army to snatch the body. This skin nearly caused another irreversible war.

In the end, the two reached a consensus after a few rounds, and buried Wei Ziyang's body at the junction of the Qin and Lu countries, on a mountain with a beautiful scenery.

The last sentence Lu Yang left was, "From now on, I will come to see you every year today!"

----------------------------

"Junior Brother, have you had enough sleep?" Kong Kong raised the curtain and took a look in. It turned out that he had woken up a long time ago, but it was no different from when he fell asleep, sitting alone in a daze without speaking. "Going back this time, master must be happy to see you."

Haven't been back for over a year!Thinking of the old man who always smiled like Maitreya Buddha, Wei Ziyang felt a rare warmth in his heart, "...Master, how is the old man?"

"It's very good, but I often mention you. In fact, I know it even if he doesn't say it. He misses you in his heart."

"..."

"Why don't you let me go down the mountain as soon as I received your letter from Feige."

Speaking of the Feige letter, Wei Ziyang originally didn't want to bother them, but there was no trustworthy person around him, so he had no choice but to ask his closest senior brother to go down the mountain.He is not the same as Wei Ziyang, Wei Ziyang can be regarded as a registered disciple at most, but Kong Kong is a real disciple of the temple, although he is a senior brother, he is several years younger than Wei Ziyang.He grew up on the mountain since he was a child, and has never been down the mountain for more than ten years. He has a pure heart and an honest man, but his kung fu is not built, and there are few opponents in the world.

Going in and out of the Lu Kingdom's palace is like visiting the back garden of your own home.If there is a real confrontation, even Qin Mu's hidden guards will not be his opponents. Lou Han suffered a lot from him in the medical hall that night.

"Junior brother, won't you leave this time when you go back?"

Wei Ziyang shook his head lightly, "There is no place for me in this world, so where can I go?"

"Just don't leave, so that the master won't worry about it." Kong Kong raised his whip, "drive!" "Speaking of which, you are really courageous. Are you afraid that you will fall asleep and never wake up again?"

"When I was in the army, I was poisoned several times. No matter how poisonous the medicine was, it couldn't do anything to me. At most, I would vomit a few mouthfuls of blood. I couldn't die."

"Master's ingenious calculations have already predicted that those people will harm you. Before going down the mountain, he asked me to bring you the medicine, saying that you will be able to use it sooner or later."

Wei Ziyang smiled wryly, "Master is still thoughtful, if it weren't for that medicine, I don't know how to get out of it." Another treasure of Jinchan Temple, the Unreal Pill, after taking it, there will be symptoms of suspended animation, no breathing or pulse, Ordinary people can't tell the truth from the fake.You can wake up after three days.

The old man was really willing to use all the good things on himself.

"Junior brother, don't blame me for talking too much, what's the matter between you and the emperor?"

"...Those are all in the past, let's not talk about it."

"But I think he really cares about you like that, holding your corpse and crying for a whole night, it's like crazy, I feel uncomfortable." Void sighed, "He still insisted on taking your corpse with you. Going back, if I hadn't been stopped by Qin's army, I think I would have to snatch the corpse."

Wei Ziyang felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but that's all.Some feelings are gone if they say nothing, and some things are past when they are over. "Qin Mu...received the news?"

"It was he who sent someone to poison you, how could he not know! Besides, the emperor sent someone to send a message the next day."

"Did he...didn't say anything?" Even Wei Ziyang didn't know what he was expecting, or he just wanted to find an excuse to lie to himself.

"What do you say, what if you don't say it? How many words can be true?"

"I just want to know, is he really looking forward to my death that much!" Standing in front of my grave and laughing, Wei Ziyang, you claim to be talented but you are played by me while applauding, you are so stupid!

Kong Kong felt that he was torturing himself, "If you want to know so much, I'll tell you, he didn't say anything, not even shed a single tear!"

This simple sentence is like poison through the intestines!Wei Ziyang secretly grasped his chest, but still couldn't stop the heart-piercing pain. "......Yeah?"

"There is one more thing I think I should let you know." Thinking of this matter, Kong Kong felt unhappy. "He didn't intend to be Nanyang King at all!"

"how do you know?"

"I heard it from hiding behind the tree. The emperor is critically ill. He secretly contacted the various ministries to gather troops. Doesn't that mean he is rushing to the throne?" Kong Kong snorted coldly, "No wonder the master said that his heart is sinister, and I really can't see him on weekdays." It turned out to be such a despicable person."

Everything seemed to be right by Qin Long, and it turned out that he was really just using himself.Now that I have lost my use value, there is no need to continue to exist.

Born in the royal family, I don't know what love is!Qin Long's words echoed in his ears over and over again.

They're just heartless monsters, machines of power and status!Wei Ziyang, you are so stupid, there is no cure for your stupidity!

Seeing the sadness on his face, Kong Kong secretly scolded himself for being unscrupulous, and quickly changed the topic after thinking about it, "Junior brother, what are your plans in the future?"

"...shaved ordained to become a monk and converted to Buddhism."

Kong Kong pulled the reins, stabilized the carriage and turned to ask him, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I've already decided." Wei Ziyang asked, "Why, don't you want me to become a monk?"

Kong Kong scratched Guangming's head and smiled, "I'm too happy to hear you talk about Journey to the West every day. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to let it go."

"The world of mortals is so ridiculous. Infatuation is the most boring. It's okay to be supercilious. This life is over, but the heart is not disturbed. I just want to be happy for half the life." Wei Ziyang sighed for a long time,

"I've never heard of this poem, who wrote it?" This junior brother can always come up with these famous sayings and quatrains that he has never heard before, and Xu Kong is no longer surprised.

"It's not poetry, it's just lyrics. How well written, it's a pity that I didn't understand this truth until today!"

"It's not too late to understand."

"...Yes, it's not too late!..." Wei Ziyang let out a laugh, and Kong Kong felt that the laughter was strange. Looking back, he found two lines of tears streaming down unconsciously. Maybe the tears Even he himself didn't find out.

Spring is here, and the snow on the mountain roads has turned into water, making it extremely muddy.Some impatient grasses have already shown their heads, and a faint piece of green is spread on the ground, which is a thriving scene.But the heart is like the cold winter, cold and terrible.

The carriage was jolting on the way to Jinchan Temple, and occasionally a post envoy riding a post horse could be seen galloping away at an extremely fast speed.

On the way to and fro, you can also see many troops who have been transferred to various places, and you can see many familiar faces when passing by.

Kong Kong curiously inquired about it, and there seems to be a change in the court, so there are more frequent transfers of soldiers and horses around the border.

In order to avoid complications, the two simply bypassed the official road and chose a difficult mountain road.As a result, a lot of time was delayed.

Jinchan Temple is located thousands of miles away from the capital, and because it is far away from the imperial city and hidden in the mountains, the incense has not been very strong.But the past few days have been surprisingly lively. There are officers and soldiers guarding the road up and down the mountain, and ordinary people are not allowed to pass through.

After inquiring, I found out that an imperial decree has just been sent from the court to allocate funds to build a hall of loyalty on the mountain behind Jinchan Temple to commemorate those soldiers who died in battle for the country.

And the enshrined in the main hall is none other than Wei Ziyang, the leader of Qin State who fought back the army of Lu State and sacrificed his life to save the people.

The master of the temple, Wei Ziyang, led him into the unfinished Zhonglie Hall, pointing to the one-foot-high stone statue that was about to be carved, and said, "Well, the image is a real image!"

Wei Ziyang turned around and didn't want to look any further, "Master, when will you hold the shaving ceremony for me?"

But the master didn't seem to have heard his words, and was still admiring the stone statue, "It's really not easy to portray you so thoroughly. The Buddha said: Destiny is created by oneself, and appearance is born from the heart..."

"master!"

The old monk smiled and continued: "The Buddha said: Destiny is created by oneself, form is born from the heart, everything in the world is a form, if the heart does not move, everything will not move, if the heart does not change, everything will not change."

"master!"

"The Buddha said: There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, illness, death, parting from love, long-lasting resentment, not being able to ask, not being able to let go."

"..."

"The Buddha said: From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from love, there will be neither worry nor fear."

"..."

"If you can understand these few sentences, I will perform the shaving ceremony for you as a teacher!"

The old man persuaded me that way two years ago, and he is still persuading me two years later!

He predicted that I couldn't let go of the world of mortals, so what if I let go, so what if I couldn't let go?

At this moment, Qin Du is holding the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and he is already sitting on the Great Qin River, but Wei Ziyang has become a stone statue in the Hall of Loyalty, so what if it is enshrined day and night, it is just a trick of his self-deception.

"Master, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!"
