Chapter 696: Why did my hair turn green while eating melon?
Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shoucheng is the uncle of the then imperial eunuch Yuan Tiangang. He does have some real abilities."
Zu Anxin thought that Yuan Shoucheng was Yuan Tiangang's uncle, so why not find an opportunity to ask Yuan Tiangang? He was a strange man.
After sending Wei Zheng away, Zu An immediately issued an order to summon Yuan Tiangang, only to find out that Yuan Tiangang had gone out to watch the stars at night and had been away for a while.
Zu An felt a little regretful and originally wanted to go see Yuan Shoucheng again, but it was getting late and it was inconvenient, so he had to rest first.
At the second watch that night, I could only hear the sound of wailing outside the palace gate. Many palace maids were a little frightened. Even Princess Yuanji was trembling a little: "Your Majesty, is there a ghost outside...is there a ghost outside?"
"Stop talking nonsense and just have a good rest. There are no ghosts or gods in this world." Zu An looked calm and continued to sleep.
Of course he knew what was going on, and was waiting in his dream for the arrival of the Jinghe Dragon King.
Sure enough, while I was sleeping hazily, I suddenly noticed the gloomy wind blowing around me, and the temperature suddenly dropped, making me feel like I was in an ice cellar.
Zu An opened his eyes and saw that the originally magnificent palace was now eerie, with blue light everywhere and waves of gray mist filling the air.
The visibility nearby is extremely low, and it is difficult to see even a few meters away.
It was extremely dark in the distance, and from time to time there was a ghostly wailing: "Give me my life, give me my life!"
Zu An thought that if he were really an ordinary person, even a world-conquering emperor like Tang Taizong, he would be scared to death right now.
But he is a person who has even entered the real underworld, so how can he be frightened by this small scene?
At this time, he was thinking about another thing. Since the other party can appear here, it seems to confirm a certain guess in my mind.
At this moment, the headless corpse of the Jinghe Dragon King slowly appeared from a distance, holding a bloody head, which looked extremely horrifying.
The bloody head shouted: "Tang Taizong! Give me back my life! Give me back my life! You promised to save me last night, why did the anti-propaganda Cao Guan come to kill me at dawn? Come out! Come out! I will go to Yan with you
You are here to distinguish and distinguish!"
Zu An had seen far more terrifying scenes than this one, so naturally he would not be frightened by this scene. He replied in a deep voice: "In order to save you today, I called Wei Zheng into the palace and kept dragging him to play chess. I just didn't want to give him any trouble."
He had the opportunity to kill you. I originally thought the matter was settled when I saw him falling asleep due to fatigue, but I never expected that he would come out of his body in a dream to kill you. I have tried my best."
"Try your best?" The Jinghe Dragon King cursed ferociously, "As your minister, Wei Zheng, how can you not know his methods? You directly ordered him not to kill me, but he dares to disobey your order? I am now
I was beheaded and became an unjust soul. Do you want to get rid of me just by saying your best?"
Zu An's face darkened: "You Dragon King, you are so unreasonable. As the saying goes, every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its own owner. Harm... Ahem, you should know best why you violated the rules of heaven. You don't know who killed you."
It’s clear, you don’t seek revenge from those people, but instead seek revenge from me, the only person who has helped you, are you sick?”
The Dragon King of Jinghe was startled, as if he had touched his mind, but when he thought that the others could not be offended at all, he could only yell and curse: "Those people harmed me, but you are the only one who promised to save me, you are the only hypocrite.
But you just sit back and watch your subordinates harm me, which is the most abominable thing. I will make you pay with your life."
As he spoke, he rushed towards Zu An with a stern look on his face.
Zu An's thinking reaction was quick, but now that his cultivation level was blocked, he was no different from ordinary people at this time. His body couldn't react at all, and he was directly grabbed by the Dragon King.
As the two of them pulled, the bloody head opened its mouth and tried to bite Zu An.
Zu An's face darkened and he was about to activate the formation he had prepared before.
Although his cultivation was sealed, his memory was still there, so he specially arranged some formations near the palace. Although he lacked some top-quality yuan stones and could not exert their maximum power, there should be no problem in using them to protect himself.
At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared on the horizon. Fragrant clouds were lingering in the south direction, and colorful mist floated. A Jurchen appeared, pinched a willow branch and waved it gently. The headless Jinghe Dragon King was immediately frightened and let go.
After opening Zu'an, he cried sadly and fled to the northwest.
Seeing the appearance of the Jurchen's clothes, Zu An felt worried, but his face did not show any signs of it. He hurriedly stepped forward to say thank you: "Thank you very much for saving me. I don't know what the name of the Jurchen is? I will definitely be rewarded generously."
The Jurchen smiled lightly: "I followed the Buddha's decree and went to the Eastern Land to find the man who collected the scriptures. I live here in the Earth Temple in the capital of Chang'an. I heard ghosts crying and divine calls at night, so I came here to drink the dragon who quits his career and rescued the emperor."
Zu An wanted to ask again, but the glow around the Jurchen's body rose and disappeared, as if she didn't want to talk to him anymore.
He chased after him, but suddenly his feet were empty, and he woke up instantly.
"Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?" Princess Yuanji knelt down in front of him and gently wiped the sweat from his face.
Zu An felt dizzy in his head, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his body was particularly tired and weak. He noticed that the eunuchs and maids were kneeling on the ground, and they were all trembling. He couldn't help but be curious: "What are you doing?"
Princess Yuanji replied: "His Majesty just kept shouting about ghosts and ghosts in his sleep. We couldn't wake him up, so everyone was afraid."
Zu An was startled. He was clearly not afraid in his dream. Could it be that Li Shimin's mortal body was too weak, or was he killed in the main plot?
He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, and at the same time announced to the court that he would not go to court today.
Firstly, his body is indeed weak and he is not in a suitable state to go to court at this time. Secondly, he also needs to sort out his thoughts.
The identity of the Jurchen just now is not difficult to guess, he is naturally the Bodhisattva of the West.
In fact, during the first level, Zu An had a rough guess. How could Yuan Shoucheng, a mere mortal, know the secret of heaven in advance? There must be someone with great supernatural powers behind it.
After much deliberation, those with such strength and motivation are naturally the group of Buddhists from the Xitian Sect.
I just didn’t expect that such a high-level existence would come from the West.
This is the first time I have seen such a legendary god and Buddha. The pressure and power on the other side are still a bit shuddering when I think about it. Not to mention that he has no cultivation base in his mortal body. Even if his cultivation base is all there, the other side wants to
It won't be too difficult to kill him.
A similar feeling can probably be traced back to the existence summoned by the Qiu Hong Tears Heaven and Earth Sacrifice Dance. Unfortunately, his realm is too far apart. It is impossible to determine which of the two is stronger. I just vaguely feel that the oppression of that existence seems to be stronger.
Some……
In the next few days, Zu An originally thought that he would get better after taking a rest, but he didn't know that his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he would be bedridden for a long time. Many doctors came to see him but they were helpless.
Zu An was speechless about this. The bodies of ordinary people were really fragile. He was obviously not frightened by the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King, so why was his body still getting worse day by day? Could it be caused by being invaded by ghost energy before?
He originally wanted to go to the Earth Temple in Chang'an to visit the Bodhisattva in person, but ended up being bedridden, so he had to send someone to invite her. With her rank, she should have a way to exorcise him.
As a result, those who went returned without success and did not see the Bodhisattva. They only brought back an ambiguous message: "Don't force it before the opportunity arrives."
Zu An wondered when would be the right opportunity?
In the past few days, he sent people to find Yuan Shoucheng and enter the palace, hoping to find out his details. Who knew that he had already disappeared, saying that he was traveling around Kanyu Fengshui.
Zu An secretly sneered. In fact, this result was not beyond his expectation.
So he simply went to Wei Zheng directly. Since the other party already had a priesthood in the underworld, he could be considered a professional counterpart in dealing with this kind of Dragon King ghost.
Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I am still a mortal body now and have not officially performed my duties, so many magical powers cannot be used yet. I was able to kill the Dragon King before only because of the decree from heaven. I just have to deal with this Jinghe River
It is not difficult to become the Dragon King. You can ask the two generals Yu Chigong and Qin Shubao to guard the door. These two generals have been fighting all their lives. They have an evil spirit about them that even ghosts and gods must stay away from."
Zu An agreed. He knew that after experiencing this incident, Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao were regarded as door gods by the people, and their portraits were often posted on doors.
Next, Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao came to guard him, and the effect was indeed much better. Zu An did not have nightmares in the middle of the night, and there were no ghosts to intrude.
It's just that Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao are mortals after all, and they can't bear the physical burden of being on duty every night. Then Zu An asked a painter to paint their portraits and paste them on the door.
But after two days of peace, another ghost came to attack from the back door, so Wei Zheng personally guarded the back door with a sword.
From then on, there were indeed no ghost attacks, but Zu An's body became weaker and weaker day by day, and he soon became terminally ill.
When he was dying, Wei Zheng pulled the dragon robe with his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I have something to do. Please protect your Majesty's longevity."
Zu An sighed deliberately: "The disease is already terminal and life is in danger. How can we save it?"
Wei Zheng replied: "I have a letter, please give it to your majesty and take it to Mingsi to pay to Cui Jue, the judge of Fengdu."
Zu An was moved in his heart and asked, "Who is Cui Jue?"
Wei Zheng replied: "Cui Jue was a minister of the late Emperor Taishang. He first received the order of Zizhou and was later promoted to Minister of Rites. He became friends with me and knew each other very well. Now that he is dead, he is now in charge of life and death.
The judge of Fengdu, who is responsible for the document, often meets me in his dreams. If I give him this book here, he will definitely let you come back because I will give him a small favor. The soul of the discipline will return to the world of the sun, and he will take Longyan and transfer to the imperial capital."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief. He had been cooperating in acting these days and finally triggered this plot.
The other contestants didn't know what was going on, and most of them thought of various ways to break the situation, but the more they did this, the more mistakes they made, which turned an easy thing into something more dangerous.
Of course, he was just taking advantage of knowing this story in history. If he hadn't known it beforehand, he would probably have made more mistakes like other contestants.
He immediately took the letter in his hand, put it in his sleeve, closed his eyes and died.
Let's talk about Zu An's soul leaving his body and gradually drifting away from the palace. He was not panicked. After all, this was not the first time he had such an experience.
At this time, a man shouted from a distance: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is coming this way."
Zu An looked around and saw that the man had a black veil on his head and rhino horns around his waist. He looked very much like the image of a judge seen in TV series in his previous life. He already had a guess in his mind, but he still pretended not to know and asked, "Who are you?"
The man replied: "When I was alive, I served as the magistrate of Zizhou in front of the late emperor. Later I became the minister of the Ministry of Rites. My surname is Cui and my name is Jue. Now I am in the Yin Division and have to be judged by Fengdu. In the Senluo Hall, I saw the ghost dragon of Jinghe River telling your majesty a promise.
In order to save the rebels and punish them, King Qin Guangdao of the First Palace sent an envoy to urge your Majesty to ask the three Cao Cao to answer the case. I know this, so I came here to wait for you. I didn't expect to be late today. I hope to beg for forgiveness and forgive me for my sins.
"
Zu An looked at him. His identity should be higher than the black and white impermanence he had seen before, with a bull's head and a horse's face. Unfortunately, now that all his cultivation levels have been blocked, he really couldn't sense how powerful he was.
"Sir, I am traveling far away from home. I am traveling to Wei Zheng. I have a letter and am sending it to you, sir. It is a good chance that we will meet each other."
While Zu An handed the letter in his sleeve to the other party, he secretly thought about it. Logically speaking, this judge was also a high-ranking official in the Netherworld. Why was he so respectful and polite to Li Shimin?
Can anything done by the emperor in the human world affect the underworld?
When Cui Jue opened the letter and read it, he was filled with joy: "I have already known about Wei Zheng's day dream of killing the old dragon, and I couldn't praise him enough. He was also asked to visit Gu Chen's descendants morning and evening. Today, since the letter has arrived, Your Majesty
Be at ease, I will take care of Your Majesty to return to the Yang Dynasty and return to the Jade Palace."
Then Cui Jue took Zu An to the Netherworld. Zu An did not expect to come again so soon. Looking at the gate of hell, the underworld, the strange flowers of the other side, and the gray Yinshan Mountain in the distance, he suddenly felt a sense of intimacy.
Next, the two of them entered a city, which was the territory of various Yama kings. Zu An did not come here not long ago.
Not long after walking along the street, I saw the former lord Li Yuan, my late brother Jiancheng, and my late brother Yuanji beside the street. They stepped forward and said: "Shimin is here! Shimin is here!"
After it was completed, Yuan Ji came to fight for his life. Zu An, who had no cultivation now, was unable to dodge and was caught by the two men.
Jiancheng cursed angrily: "You can just kill me to seize the throne. Why don't you even spare your sister-in-law? She is really worse than a beast."
Zu An had watched some related TV series in his previous life. It seems that the screenwriter liked to have a relationship between Li Shimin and his sister-in-law. The joke is not nonsense!
He hurriedly denied: "This is absolutely not the case. I am respectful to my sister-in-law and I have absolutely no offense at all."
"If not, why are there all kinds of rumors here in the underworld!" Li Jiancheng scolded angrily.
Zu An saw Li Yuanji standing aside and felt that his face was disgusting. A wave of disgust arose in his heart. It seemed that Li Shimin didn't know how much he hated this disgusting brother before he was alive, so he said casually: "It must be spreading rumors. I am very respectful to my sister-in-law."
, I just took in a younger brother and sister, maybe she was mistakenly said to be a sister-in-law."
Li Yuanji: "???"
Why did my hair turn green while I was eating melon?
He was already irritable by nature, but he couldn't stand hearing this, so he tried his best to strangle Zu An: "I'll kill you!"
