He walked all the way to the lake, looked at the lake, and stood there for a long time.
But in the end, I still haven't taken that step forward.
When he came, he wanted to die, but when death came, he chickened out.
Then he squatted down and cried.
Crying so hard that my face was filled with tears.
I don't know how long it took, but a slender and white hand gently patted his shoulder.
"Sir." A gentle, female voice sounded from behind him.
Han Yu was stunned when he heard the sound, wiped his tears for a while, and then turned around.
Then, he saw a beautiful woman wearing an orange-red coat with long hair shawl.
Although this girl has no makeup or hairpin, she is still extremely beautiful. She is just like a fairy in heaven, without any trace of the dust of the human world.
"Girl...you..." Han Yu hesitated for a moment and was about to ask the other party something.
Suddenly! The face of the woman in front of me started to change...
Her eyes began to bleed.
Blackish red blood gushed out of his eyes and slid across his white face.
Her beautiful face grew full of hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, a mane that was very close to the color of her clothes.
In the end, her entire head gradually deformed and turned into the shape of a beast with a sharp mouth and long ears...
"Why do you want to harm me! Why do you want to harm me!"
When Han Yu came to his senses, the fox-headed woman had already strangled his neck with both hands and kept shouting these words at him in a sharp voice.
"Uh-ah..."
Han Yu woke up with a feeling of suffocation.
The moment he woke up, he felt that his whole body was covered in sweat, his throat was tight, and his heartbeat was racing as fast as a galloping horse.
Shocked and dizzy, it took him nearly two minutes to gradually calm down.
Then he looked around and remembered... After he left the palace and returned home, he did not go to bed because he was too worried and afraid. Instead, he ran to the study and held a candle to think at night.
He wanted to figure out where he had made an oversight tonight, and even more...he wanted to figure out... what the emperor would do with him next.
Unexpectedly, in the process of thinking, he fell asleep on the desk without realizing it.
Of course, because there was something on his mind, he actually didn't sleep long, let alone deeply.
Han Yu had had the nightmare just now... more than once.
Twenty-six years ago, Han Yu betrayed the Immortal Queen Yuwei to Guan Hengzi in order to achieve a "smooth rise to the top" for himself. For nearly a year, he often dreamed of this scene.
In his dreams, Han Yu would always go back to the Dongting Lake and see the fox demon who kindly helped him... But every time, the fox demon changed into a terrifying appearance and demanded his life.
.
This dream did bother Han Yu for a while, but that day... is long gone.
If Han Yu was a kind and upright boy from a poor family when he was rescued by the Great Immortal Yuwei, then Han Yu when he betrayed the Great Immortal Yuwei was a man who was gradually infected by the officialdom, but still had a clear conscience and knew regret and guilt.
people.
So, now Han Yu has long been a person who doesn't care about anything except his own ambition.
Family members, students, colleagues, princes, emperors... In his opinion, no one is disposable. The importance of these people is only linked to their "use value".
Therefore, tonight, Han Yu suddenly dreamed of Yuwei Daxian demanding his life again, but when he woke up, the incident in the dream did not arouse any feelings of "remorse for his repayment of kindness".
He never thought at all: perhaps, this dream was the last chance given to him by God, a revelation... There was a power in the dark telling him that good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded, and turning back is the end.
If Han Yu could, through this dream, regain some of his unexhausted conscience in his youth and stop in time, maybe he would still have a way to survive.
After all, the main problem at that time was Na Guan Hengzi, and Han Yu was also bluffed by Lian Meng and finally failed to resist, so he surrendered Yuwei.
Now Yuwei Immortal has suffered the calamity of her "fame deceiving her destiny" and lost most of her Taoism; Guanhengzi has also been deposed by the people of "Taihao Sect", and there is still the calamity of Shuangxie to be dealt with in the future.
Woolen cloth……
As for Han Yu, if he can sincerely repent, maybe there will be some opportunity in the future that allows him to atone for his crime of repaying kindness with revenge, and Tamao may be able to forgive him by doing so.
This opportunity came to fruition smoothly.
It's a pity that there aren't that many "what if..."s in the world, and I can't assume and expand them all by myself.
At present, Han Yu not only did not think about "atonement" or "stopping", but he also got another kind of inspiration because of this dream.
He felt: Is this dream telling me... In this desperate situation, only ghosts and gods can save me?
As the saying goes, seeking medical treatment in case of emergency, the more Han Yu thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, so he immediately called the servants standing guard outside the house and asked them to turn on the lamps again (previously, all the candles in the room had been burned out after Han Yu fell asleep. Now,
The room was dark), and he ordered his servants to get yellow paper, incense candles, copper coins, and some cinnabar. He was about to "invite the gods" in the study.
Some people may be surprised when they see this. Master Han, can he still do this?
Actually, he doesn't know how to do it, he just "try" it.
Of course, if he only has the above-mentioned things, there is no need to try them, because he himself knows that there is no chance.
The reason why Han Yu had the confidence to try to "invite the gods" was because there was another key item in the study - a jade pendant left by Guan Hengzi.
Here is a hint in our book: This jade pendant is actually an ordinary jade pendant, not a magic weapon, and not even worth a few dollars.
It's just that after Guan Hengzi deceived Han Yu, in order to make the "play" appear more real, he left this jade pendant to Han Yu, saying... "If you don't become famous within ten years, you can rely on this
You want to settle accounts with me, but if you are indeed a very human minister in the future, this is the token that the old Taoist has deposited with you. When I come to retrieve it, it will be your turn to repay your kindness."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After farting, Guan Hengzi ran away without even mentioning "how to use" this jade pendant in case the other party failed to succeed in his career; Han Yu wanted to settle the score with him;
I was confused at the time and didn't ask further questions, so the matter was left undisturbed.
Later, when Guan Hengzi's evil deeds were exposed and he was about to be killed by the Taoists, he begged for mercy and swore an oath that he would never ask Han Yu for anything again. He also emphasized that Yuwei was not dead either.
I haven't made any irreversible mistakes yet... I only saved my life because of this, and suffered the punishment of losing my moral integrity and being expelled from the school.
So far, in fact, the jade pendant in Han Yu's hand has become completely useless, and he can just throw it away.
But from Master Han's perspective, he began to have a prosperous official career just a few years after betraying Yuwei Immortal. He naturally felt that this was due to Guan Hengzi's transaction between the two, so he had no confidence in Guan Hengzi's abilities.
He was so convinced that he regarded this jade pendant as a treasure left by the Immortal family and kept it alive, but...he really didn't want the other party to come to him one day to "repay his kindness".
Tonight, in despair, I remembered Han Yu who prayed to gods and worshiped ghosts. Through his dream, he thought of the "Great Immortal Guanhengzi", and then he took out this last "life-saving straw".
Although this jade pendant is useless, Han Yu firmly believes that it is a magical thing. With the help of this trick, he may be able to contact Guan Hengzi, or contact some other immortal leader...
…In short, it’s better than sitting still and waiting for death.
In a word, regardless of whether it works or not, try the head office, right?
So, after Master Han brought the materials needed to "invite the gods" to his servants, he sent them all out and ordered them to stay away from the study and not to come close to eavesdrop, regardless of what they heard or saw.
Don't come in... I'll go out by myself when it's all over.
After finishing the explanation, Han Yu personally confirmed at the door that everyone had left and gone away, then returned to the house and began to "set up the formation."
Although Mr. Han is not familiar with the Qimen Bagua, Taoism and Immortal Techniques, he is still somewhat involved in the "Three Changes" and can draw a Bagua array on paper, so he followed the instructions he had seen when he was a child in the village and saw the charlatans and magicians on the streets.
For the impression of the performance, I drew a Bagua array on yellow paper with cinnabar-ground ink, and placed a copper coin on each of the eight hexagrams. I lit a candle on the east, west, south, and north of the array, and placed an incense burner on the north side.
, put in three sticks of incense, and finally put the broken jade pendant into the formation as an eye.
Don't look at it, it seems like there isn't much to do, but doing this is very tiring for Han Yu's body, which has been pampered and pampered for many years.
He set up the formation and rested for a few minutes, then came to the front of the formation, clasped his hands together, and muttered: "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord has come to show his spirit~"
Everyone...
In this parallel universe, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't place arrays indiscriminately, and the mantra... can't be recited indiscriminately.
Regardless of the fact that those gangsters are just pretending to be gods and performers on the street, they all know that they have to do it in broad daylight, and what they say is deliberately unclear and incomprehensible...
It would be better for you, Han Yu, to do this alone in your study at midnight on the eve of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, when the dead animals gathered in the capital... The key point is that many of your settings in this formation are "wrong".
This is just like some people who clearly don't understand computers but still like to DIY, adjusting this and that, until the computer worth tens of thousands of dollars crashes every day... If you mess around, something will happen.
Sure enough, Han Yu's actions not only failed to attract the "gods" he wanted to seek, but also attracted other things...
…………
An hour ago, the Royal Palace.
We know that Zhu Zhu was a more responsible emperor, so when he learned that Brother Sun was "illiterate", although he combined his previous observations and reasoning, he had already concluded that "Han Yu framed Sun Yixie"
He was 80% or 90% sure, but he still did not do anything to Han Yu on the spot. He just asked Han Yu to go back first, and then he repeatedly verified the issue of "Sun Yixie is illiterate" with Shuang Xie and Ling Huxiang who stayed behind.
.
As a result, it took him half an hour to discover that this "Celestial Master" whom he had just canonized was not only illiterate, but also probably hypocritical, mentally retarded, stupid, forgetful, cowardly, lustful, greedy and afraid of death, and despicable.
Shameless...the negative attributes are too numerous to describe.
But one thing is certain, this person, as well as Huang Donglai, Linghu Xiang, and others who are with them are indeed loyal ministers. Their primary purpose is to solve the crisis of the Thirteen Dead Animals. How can they deal with someone like Han Yu who always regards
Compared with people who put personal interests, party struggles, and power struggles first, these gangsters are more trustworthy.
So after tonight, Zhu Fu felt more relieved about the Hunyuan Star Gate.
To make a long story short, after chatting with the emperor, Sun, Huang, and Linghu, accompanied by several eunuchs and imperial guards, prepared to leave the palace and return to the post house.
By coincidence, halfway through, they met Fudozi, who was also going back to the inn, and the four of them walked to the same place.
Huang Donglai also asked: "Uncle, I haven't seen you all day. What are you and the Imperial Master busy with in this palace?"
"Let's set up the formation." Fuzi replied directly as he had nothing to hide.
"Ah?" Huang Donglai immediately asked, "The palace is so big, how did you two start setting up the formation? Is it possible that you are planning to set up hundreds of formations in the imperial city before the Ghost Festival?"
Fudozi heard this, waved his hand, and then stretched out a finger: "Just one."
"Oh? Where is it?" Huang Donglai asked naturally.
Fudozi shook his head again: "There is no need to 'pose', the 'formation' is already there, we only need to use tools to set it up, use techniques to start it, and people to control it..."
"Also..." Huang Donglai was still confused and muttered.
Sun Yixie came to his senses at this time: "Oh, can it be said that... the architectural layout of the Forbidden City itself is based on a certain formation?"
"That's right." Fudozi nodded, "Three hundred years ago, when this city was built, some experts at that time considered that a catastrophe like today might happen one day, so they came up with this idea."
"Damn it, haven't we already won?" Huang Donglai said, "With a formation as big as a city, no matter what the dead animal is, he will die."
"Alas..." Fudozi sighed, "Come from the east, we as Taoists must know eight words in our hearts. Do you know which ones they are?"
Huang Donglai thought for a while, and the first sentence that came to his mind was a line from an old movie he had watched: "Uncle, is it...'In the vastness of the world, righteousness will last forever'?"
After listening to this, Fuzi actually laughed, and immediately replied: "No, it's 'The Tao is one foot high, the devil is ten feet high'."
"Huh?" Huang Donglai was retorted by these words, and he wanted to complain at that time, "Then let's go get a pedicure."
But in the end he didn't dare to say it in front of Fudozi.
"You can live longer by remembering these eight words I said." Fudozi said, "As for the eight words you mentioned, just tell them to outsiders. If we talk about them all day long,
I’m afraid I won’t live to see the day when I can achieve enlightenment.”
They were walking and chatting like this when suddenly...
"Huh?" Fuzi didn't know what he noticed. He stopped suddenly and frowned. Then he quickly raised his hands and pinched his fingers. After finishing the calculation, he turned around and asked the person next to him, "What time is it now?"
Several imperial eunuchs on the side were also stunned by his question. However, as personnel on duty, they were relatively sensitive to time. After being stunned for a few seconds, they quickly replied: "Hui Tianshi, it should be Zi Shi."
