Dinghai Fusheng Records

Three days ago, in Chang'an Jianzhang Palace.

Tuoba Yan has moved to the palace to recuperate from his injuries, his left arm has turned black due to the wound he suffered a year ago, he is baring half of his body, sitting in the dormitory in a daze.

Murong rushed into the palace, looked at Tuoba Yan with a frown, Tuoba Yan raised his head and looked at him, the two of them didn't say anything.Tuoba Yan became thinner day by day, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, his face was dark, and he looked like a different person compared to before.Wang Ziye sat aside and adjusted the medicine for him.

"Okay." The prince finished taking the medicine at night, saw the imperial doctor wrapping a bandage on Tuoba Yan with his own hands, and said, "Let's just rest for a while."

Tuoba Yan was a little tired, and when he was about to greet Murong Chong, Fu Jian walked into the hall and explained: "A year ago, during the chaos in Chang'an, Yan'er was accidentally injured by a demon. The specific medicine prepared has controlled the poison."

Murong Chong observed Tuoba Yan for a long time, and said something unkind to him coldly.

"How long can you live?"

Tuoba Yan had no choice but to smile bitterly, Wang Ziye said: "Lord Murong is serious, take good care of him, and there won't be any big problems. The trouble is that Master Tuoba was injured a year ago, so he left without saying goodbye, and went to the north. One trip delayed the diagnosis and treatment."

Murong Chong said: "Wang Ziye, why did you treat this kind of injury?"

Wang Ziye said frankly: "I have lived for a long time and read a lot of books, so naturally I have to know a little bit about everything."

Murong Chong just didn't answer, so Wang Ziye got up to leave.The rest Fu Jian, Tuoba Yan and Murong Chong sat in the hall.Murong Chong never liked to talk, even he would ignore Fu Jian, let alone the Tuoba family.But Tuoba Yan, who used to be handsome and graceful, now has such an appearance, which inevitably hurts him, and makes him feel cold behind him.

Tuoba Yan has been ill for a long time. Murong Chong only heard that he was injured during martial arts practice, but he did not expect to be infected by corpse poison. What is even more strange is that Wang Ziye used medicine to control the corpse poison Diffusion, let him remain the same, and did not become a living dead.

It's just that Tuoba Yan temporarily resigned from the post of commander of the Forbidden Army in the name of recuperation, and Fu Jian was directly in command of the Forbidden Army in name.

Fu Jian then comforted him with kind words, Murong Chong just sat quietly and did not speak, Tuoba Yan asked again: "How is the situation in Chilechuan?"

Fu Jian said: "Shulukong has resigned from the position of Da Shanyu. I have sent three groups of messengers to find Shi Mokun. The grand plan of the Southern Expedition is imperative. It depends on the miscellaneous beards. I don't know what I am interested in."

Murong Chong said: "Shu Lukong and that Han boy, I heard that they went down to the south of the Yangtze River along Goryeo."

Fu Jian said "Yes", and said: "It's a pity that Shulukong was originally a talent, but for some reason, he left Chilechuan and ignored it... that's all, let's talk about it in the future."

Tuoba Yan groaned for a while, Murong Chong said to him: "You rest and recuperate first, if you need anything, send someone to deliver a letter to me."

Tuoba Yan nodded, Fu Jian said with a smile: "Is there anything I want in my palace?"

Murong Chong's attitude towards Tuoba Yan is very complicated. On the one hand, he did not hesitate to stand up to protect Xiang Shu and Chen Xing who went north that day. This ignorant move made Murong Chong very irritable.But on the other hand, Tuoba Yan and his elder sister, Princess Qinghe, had good friends during their lifetime, and they were also from the Xianbei clan. Somehow, because of their old sister's affection, they still had a little friendship that they didn't want to announce.

What's more, Murong Chong always felt that Tuoba Yan was also a pitiful person, especially the sense of loneliness in his eyes - Murong Chong could understand those eyes at a glance. When he was brought into the deep palace by Fu Jian, he couldn't help being in a trance all day long.Living in the palace, there are no friends, no family members, only eunuchs and maids who come to deliver food on weekdays, just like prisoners.

"Let Yan'er rest." Fu Jian said calmly again, "Come with me, Chong'er."

Murong Chong followed Fu Jian through the Taiye Pond on the side of Shanglin Garden. Fu Jian pressed his hands on the long rail and looked down at the fish swimming in the pool.

"I've been thinking a lot these days." Fu Jian said.

Murong Chong replied: "I remember, Wang Meng reminded you more than once before he died, didn't he give you dreams?"

Fu Jian smiled helplessly: "It has nothing to do with Nanzheng, Chong'er, can you listen carefully to what I have to say?"

"What are you thinking?" Murong Chong turned his gaze to Chi Zhong.

Fu Jian turned around, leaned against the fence, stared at Murong Chong, and said, "I'm thinking about life and death, I'm thinking about when I will die."

Murong Chong was startled, and glanced at Fu Jian. In his memory, Fu Jian had never talked about this matter, not even the words "I will live forever".The reason is that no one ever thought that Fu Jian would die in the near future. This northern monarch who claimed to be "unrivaled in his achievements" was in his prime of life. Even though many people secretly cursed him to die, the facts proved that Fu Jian would only become more serious. Strong, getting stronger every day, even more invincible than Shulukong who is known as "the best in the world".

The look in Murong Chong's eyes was fleeting, he put away his thoughts, and instead said: "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Fu Jian looked at Murong Chong's eyes full of tenderness, and stretched out his hand to hold him, but Murong Chong avoided subconsciously, he had been away from Chang'an for too long, so long that he almost forgot the memory of the past.Only when Fu Jian appeared in front of him did he remind him that those pasts were real.

The long time in Luoyang also made it difficult for him to return to the original role of Chang'an.

Murong Chong asked Fu Jian to hold his hand, and Fu Jian said again: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are predestined by heaven, and people will always die. After your sister left, I thought of many things, thinking of Wang Meng, thinking of Wang Meng, and thinking of you." Shuluwen, I think of those who, together with me, conquered the world in the north."

Murong Chong didn't answer, Fu Jian said again: "When I saw Yan'er and Yan, I couldn't help thinking, what are they?"

Murong Chong suddenly became a little vigilant, frowned, and fell silent. Fu Jian rubbed Murong Chong's palm with his big hand, separated his long fingers, interlocked with him, and murmured: "After that chaos, midnight check A large number of ancient books also tell me that Ba did not appear out of thin air, but has a long history."

"What?" Murong Chong sensed that something was wrong, and turned his head to look into Fu Jian's eyes.

Fu Jian stared into Murong Chong's eyes, nodded and said, "That's right, just like birds, beasts, mountains, rocks and trees, they are all a part of this world. The so-called source of '魃' is actually a mockery of life's bitterness, and God's will. mockery of death, confrontation with death."

"So?" Murong Chong frowned, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to say?"

Fu Jian said indifferently: "Didn't you often ask, who sent you the troops in the Longmenxia Barracks?"

Murong Chong: "..."

Fu Jian took Murong Chong's hand, pulled him back, turned around the upper corridor of Taiye Pond, and walked all the way, silently, to the outside of Hanguang Hall.

"I brought Chong'er in." Fu Jian said in a deep voice.

Murong Chong stopped outside the Hanguang Hall, and suddenly realized a serious problem, his hands were covered with cold sweat, but Fu Jian pushed the door lightly, and the door of the hall opened, revealing a man sitting upright, facing the door, holding a mirror Princess Qinghe.

Murong Chong's breath was suffocated, and Princess Qinghe's complexion was beautiful, no different from her life, but upon closer inspection, her ashen complexion and neck were all covered by makeup.The only difference from before was that her eyes became cloudy and lifeless, but when she raised her head, she still smiled.

"Chong'er?" Princess Qinghe whispered.

"Sister?" Murong Chong's voice trembled.

"Ziye found the record about '魃' from Feng's family," Fu Jian said slowly, "As long as you deal with it properly, the dead can all be brought back to life. I also discovered that Feng Qianyi went astray back then..."

Murong Chong's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at Princess Qinghe with wide eyes. At that moment, his blood was cold, as if someone had ruthlessly strangled his throat.

It was night, after the evening drum ended, the carriage left the west of the city and drove towards the east of the city. When the wheels ran over the street, there was a splash of water, and the horse's hooves suddenly slipped, as if they were running on oil.

In the dark night, the courtyard walls on both sides of the long street dripped fire oil soundlessly, gathered towards the center of the street, and then soaked the entire street in the oil.

"Wait," said Wang Ziye in the carriage, "stop."

In all directions, soldiers in black armor stood majestically on the street, silently, like ghosts who had been waiting for a long time.

"I thought you came to thank me." Wang Ziye said.

In an instant, spreading from the center of the street to all directions, all the soldiers mounted their crossbows together, with a "click" sound, tens of thousands of people ambushing in Chang'an City appeared at the same time, and Murong Chong appeared in the darkness.

"Thank you for what?" Murong Chong said coldly, "Thank you for releasing hundreds of thousands of living dead in Luoyang? Or thank you for using Feng Qianyi to implicate my sister in death and steal her body, making her what she is today. Second look?"

Wang Ziye shook the folding fan in his hand lightly, and said with a light smile, "Murong Chong, you are still too young. I am a person who can even wake up the dead. Facing me, what chance do you have of winning?"

Murong Chong stared at Wang Ziye without saying a word. A soldier behind him held a torch and handed it to Murong Chong.

"I don't know what you are." Murong Chong said in a deep voice, "I only know that you must not be human, Wang Ziye."

Wang Ziye just smiled and said nothing, staring at the torch in Murong Chong's hand.

"I don't intend to talk too much with you. I'm not interested in what you are. I just want to see you off..." Murong Chong said, "Go to where you should go. Get out, you made the mistake of coming to Chang'an."

The torch fell to the ground.

Jiankang, afternoon.

"...So Murong Chong set fire to the entire Shufang Street." Xie An said, "Wang Ziye was burned to ashes in that fire, and it is unknown how many innocent people died in the fire that night. gone."

Sima Yao sits in the middle, with Puyang as his attendant, from left to right Xie Xuan, Inspector of Yanzhou, Xie Shi, Minister of Huangmen, Wang Linzhi, Prefect of Dongyang, and Huan Yi, general of Jianwei Zhonglang.Below the head on the right are Xiang Shu, Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun.

In the middle is Xie An holding a folding fan and a short table in front of him. He is not in a hurry, telling the inside story of this shocking change that the Jin court's monarchs and officials have learned.After Xie An finished what he had learned, he took another sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"It is said that Fu Jian was very angry the next day," Sima Yao said indifferently, "The Nanzheng case was not temporarily shelved, but even claimed to inherit the last wish of Prince Ye and slaughter our Great Jin. It is also very interesting to find out the cause of the death of Prince Ye, the national teacher, who is the loudest, but we Han people."

Chen Xing groaned and remained silent. The next day at the Qiu Club, such a shocking case broke out, which really surprised him.

Xiang Shu: "Murong Chong got rid of him only by burning him?"

"At present, yes." Xie An said, "Although An Shi is not talented, he has not been able to become a member of the exorcist, but these days, I have heard a lot of truths about the transformation of heaven and man from my junior brother. , Murong Chong probably didn't have any magic weapon in his hands, and he didn't have any high-level people to accompany him. He burned Wang Ziye to death purely out of anger. As for why the two sides have such deep hatred, I don't know."

"Princess Qinghe," Chen Xing murmured, "it must be because of Princess Qinghe."

Xiang Shu frowned slightly, Feng Qianjun said: "So he found out that Wang Ziye is the mastermind behind it?"

Chen Xing said: "No, I guess he made a mistake and discovered that Wang Ziye resurrected Princess Qinghe."

Everyone was shocked instantly, and Chen Xing said to Feng Qianjun, "Brother Feng, do you still remember the news you heard when you followed the Pingyang Army? Since that day, I have been wondering whether Shi Hai will bring Princess Qinghe back to life one day, come on. Blackmail or confuse Fu Jian."

Although the emperors and ministers of the Jin court had spies in Chang'an, their abilities were limited after all. Since Feng Qianyi's death, the intelligence network had been gathered. What's more, after Fu Jian had a secret meeting with Murong Chong that night, Murong Chong ambushed him on the street that night and burned him alive. Prince Ye.Among the Qin court, there was a moment of suspicion, saying that Fu Jian instructed Murong Chong, but it didn't seem like it. After all, Fu Jian was the most powerful supporter of the main combat faction.

Xiang Shu finally opened his mouth and said, "How to deal with the Ba camp in Longmen Gorge in Luoyang?"

Xie An shook his head and spread his hands, indicating that he had no comment.

Xie Shi said: "Finally, Fu Jian relieved Murong Chong of his military power and ordered him to return to Luoyang alone, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes."

The hall was silent for a while, and then Xiang said: "I don't think Wang Ziye is dead. If he is really a corpse, it is impossible for him to be burned to death like this."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu and said, "I don't think so either."

Feng Qianjun: "Second."

"But at least for now, he is indeed missing." Xie An said, "Chang'an uploaded that Murong Chong did not hesitate to assassinate Han Chen, the main combatant, in order to prevent the Southern Expedition. The inside information, only everyone here knows."

Sima Yao stroked his hair, realized that his hairline was too high, and quickly let it go, raised his eyes to straighten his hair on his forehead, and said, "If Shi Hai is capable, why didn't he kill Murong Chong too? "

"Doing so will only turn against the Murong family of Xianbei," Xiang Shu said. "What Wang Ziye wants is for Fu Jian to gather his troops and fight the Yangtze River, not for the Qin court to fall apart. This is of no benefit to him. If the corpse is really useless It is impossible, and he will not lie in the Qin court for so many years, and wait until now to act, he must rely on Fu Jian's power."

The Murong family has a huge power in Chang'an, and Wang Ziye's only reliance is Fu Jian. They may not be able to completely eliminate Wang Ziye, but they must gather enough troops to defect from Chang'an.If Wang Ziye's plan is revealed, it will only make the already fragile situation in Chang'an fall apart, and make Fu Jian a loner.How easy is it to find another king who obeys his words?

Xiang Shu's words instantly reminded Chen Xing.

After working with Fu Jian for so many years, it can be seen that Shi Hai is not that powerful, and most importantly - he cannot influence everyone through magic.From this argument, Chen Xing also understood where Xiang Shu's confidence came from, and their enemies were not so invincible.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing roughly deduced why Wang Ziye wanted to arrest him as a sacrifice.

The light of the heart illuminates the world, and it can also affect people's hearts and expel evil, so if even the light of the heart is refined by resentment, can it control people's thoughts as they like?

"What are you going to do next?" Sima Yao asked Chen Xing.

Chen Xing originally wanted to answer that he would still go to Luoyang and pull out the Ba army under Longmen Gorge, but at this moment, there was no longer any need for the Great Jin Dynasty to send envoys.

Moreover, Murong Chong lost power for the time being, and he could no longer influence Fu Jian's thoughts in the short term, and if the envoys went again, it would only add trouble.If Wang Ziye is the corpse, sooner or later there will be a day of reappearance, burning a military camp will not do much, if the corpse wants to be recreated, it can still be produced.

"Wait," Xiang Shu said without waiting for Chen Xing's answer, "waiting for the moment when the corpse shows up again."

Chen Xing looked at Xiang Shu, and found that Xiang Shu was the head of the exorcist at some time, and everyone seemed to naturally start to listen to his orders and decisions.

"In these days," Xiang Shu said, "please send a few more scouts to follow the direction of the earth veins to search for Wang Ziye's whereabouts. I have given Xie An the map of Shenzhou in advance."

"Okay." Sima Yao was obviously very relaxed today, and waved his hand casually, "Then I invite the Great Chanyu... No, the guardian is too much trouble."

Chen Xing said, "When is the map?"

Xiang Shu replied: "During the few months you lay on the couch, I found out the distribution of the land veins of China from the ancient scrolls of the Xiang family."

Chen Xing said again: "How do you know... that's right... indeed. Xiang Shu, you are so smart!" Then exclaimed: "You are so smart! You are so sober! You remember it so clearly! I even forgot about it Already!"

Chen Xing also remembered that that day at the base of Kuaiji, the mysterious person who came to instruct Wen Zhe finally threw himself into the leylines and used the flow of the leylines to leave. In other words, if Wang Ziye wanted to escape, he would probably go through the leylines.

Sometimes Xiang Shu couldn't do anything about Chen Xing, he always thought of something to say, such a large group of people were discussing things, he just boasted in public, and he kept boasting three times in a row.That's all you said, the key point is that the exorcists had no plan before this, isn't it a joke?

Xiang Shu had no choice but to cough hard, everyone was embarrassed for a few breaths, Xie An immediately said: "Yesterday, An Shi originally had something else that he wanted to discuss with everyone."

Xie An changed the subject, and Sima Yao continued, "Actually, there is nothing to discuss. Mr. Chen, I have something to ask, so I will send you my supervisor."

Chen Xing: "Wait... what do you mean?"

Pu Yang said: "After consideration, Your Majesty decided to send Mr. Xie Anxie to the Exorcist Department to act... as... this, Secretary Secretary? Together as the exorcist, to assist Mr. Chen, and to deal with the matter later. , if you have any request, whether you want money or someone, you can just ask Mr. Xie."

Chen Xing: "I want a Fan... Senior Brother Xie, let me tell you, I don't dislike you, you are the pillar of the country anyway, come to my exorcism department to help, is it okay? Where is your Beifu soldier? Just don't care? "

Xie An smiled cordially and said, "The military training in the Beifu has been completed long ago, so it is not an urgent matter. Your Majesty also thinks that I am in the way. My two nephews will go and take over temporarily. Junior brother, I am here to exorcise demons, you You won't have trouble with His Majesty, will you?"

Xiang Shu didn't want to talk too much: "Okay, then it's a deal."

At first, Feng Qianjun thought that Sima Yao might have asked Xie An to monitor his group, but it was impossible to force Xie An, who was like the Prime Minister of a country, to come in with his eyeliner.In other words, with Xie An's assistance, everyone will directly receive the greatest help from the Jin court. It can be seen that Sima Yao has indeed seriously considered Chen Xing's rhetoric, but it only involves the dispute between Hu and Han.

"Definitely a ghost!" Chen Xing was about to refute, but everyone got Xiang Shu's statement and clapped their hands.

"Congratulations, uncle, on taking office!" Xie Xuan was the first to laugh.

Sima Yao: "Xie Qing, your dream has finally come true, why don't you thank me?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xie An immediately got up with a smile on his face, bowed his hands to everyone, and said to Xiang Xiang: "From now on, I will ask the guardian Martial God, the great exorcist, Feng and Xiao, everyone to take care of me."

And just like that, Xie An got his wish and became an exorcist at an advanced age that almost knew his destiny.Childhood dream come true.
