Yan Yun and Jiang Yu stayed up all night and kept on the road in order to guard against the pursuers.
Near dawn, the two arrived at the foot of a large mountain.
This mountain is the barrier of the royal city. Even the official road is rugged and difficult to navigate. There is a pass in a dangerous place on the mountain and there are heavy troops stationed there.
Generally speaking, passes with heavy troops stationed there are not as sparsely defended as the royal city. Yan Yun and Jiang Yu decided to take a detour and head north.
As the prince of the princes, Jiang Yu knew more about the mountains and rivers of Dayu than Yan Yun. Under his guidance, the two dismounted and opened a passage in the dense forest. After walking for an hour, they actually found a passable passage.
of mountain streams.
It was not until noon, when they were tired, exhausted and hungry, that they reached the foot of the mountain.
Yanyun shot a muntjac and lit a fire on the bare rock to use it as food.
After eating, the two kneaded earth to make a stove, planted grass to make incense, and became brothers with different surnames.
After being informed by Yan Yun, Jiang Yu learned that so many things had happened in Dayu during the more than half a year he had been detained, and he was very angry.
"Who is causing trouble in Chao Gang and coveting the world of Dayu?" Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "This is an irreconcilable hatred. This king will definitely find him out and cut him into pieces with a thousand swords!"
"Isn't it your brother Jiang Zhou who did the evil?" Yan Yun said coldly.
"The death of Brother Yun's family is really a great misfortune for me, and I feel sad for my brother. However, this matter was definitely not caused by my brother!" Jiang Yu explained, "My brother is weak and narrow-minded, but he has been accustomed to it since he was a child.
Wen, we may suppress the meritorious ministers in the court to consolidate the royal power, but we will never destroy the country!"
"Pang Yu was originally a sycophant, but he was regarded as the grand master by Jiang Zhou. How do you explain, brother?"
"Di Yun is too young and has no real exposure to official career. Pang Yu is regarded as the Grand Master just for balance."
"Then how can we explain that the king's close ministers sucked souls and took their lives, and strange people brought disaster to the world?"
"I don't know, but demons and monsters will not last long, and the truth will eventually come to light!" Jiang Yu said with great enthusiasm, "After I return to Beilin, I will tell the world, raise the banner beside the Qing Emperor, and invite strange people and strangers.
, command troops into the royal city!"
"Brother Yun, please follow Brother Wei to Beilin. With Brother Yun's abilities, he will definitely make great achievements!" Jiang Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had already taken control of the royal city. "When this is accomplished, Brother Wei will not only recover
With the titles of Yundi General Wuwei and Zhenguo Gong, you will also be granted the title of King Bingjian, and you will be entrusted with land and become a vassal!"
Yan Yun smiled calmly and asked: "Brother, are you going to replace the king?"
Jiang Yu made no secret of it and said with a smile: "This is natural. Since my brother has no talent to lead the world, he should give way to this king!"
Yan Yun sighed: "I'm afraid that after my brother returns to Beilin, he will have too much time to take care of himself and make it difficult for him to achieve great things."
Jiang Yu flicked his sleeves and said displeasedly: "Why did Brother Yun say this?"
Yan Yun said: "There are Qiang people invading the west of Yuxi. The imperial court does not want to defeat the enemy. Instead, it massacres the southern barbarians. It borders the Rong in the north. I am afraid something big will happen."
Jiang Yu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. He vaguely felt that what Yan Yun said was reasonable, so he paced back and forth on a large rock.
Yan Yun asked, "If the Rong invade south, does my brother have any good ideas?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and said: "The north is a bitter and cold place. It is difficult to protect yourself. If you want to send troops south to enter the royal city, it will be difficult..."
"Don't worry, brother, it's more important to find a way out first."
"Haha, the way out is not far away. Brother Yun is not an outsider, just follow me."
By dusk, the two of them had already walked out of the mountain, and Jiang Yu had been leading the way. They were not walking on an official road, but on twists and turns, as if they were walking along the mountains.
At this time, a large mansion suddenly appeared among the green trees. If you don't look closely, it would be difficult to spot. The strangest thing is that there are no villages or farmland nearby, and there are no ordinary people living there. It is a single family, which looks very strange.
It's abrupt.
"Brother Yun, I want to get drunk with you tonight!" Jiang Yu laughed loudly and galloped towards the gate of the mansion.
When Jiang Yu arrived at the door of the house, someone had already gone out to investigate. He only glanced at it twice and immediately returned to open the door.
Jiang Yu and Yan Yun entered one after another. Two hundred people had already gathered in the courtyard, standing respectfully.
"Greetings to King Beilin!" Everyone said in unison.
It turns out that this compound is Jiang Yu's hidden palace. This is what he said on the surface. There are so many people in the palace, including many martial arts masters from the inner and outer families. It is more like a station to spy on the intelligence of the royal city.
.
It seems that Jiang Yu's ambition to replace Jiang Zhou has been around for a long time.
"This is my brother, take him to the VIP room quickly and serve him well!" Jiang Yu ordered, and then he and several masterminds entered a moon door.
Yan Yun would not be stupid enough to ask Jiang Yu where he was going. After hearing this, he followed the attendant's instructions and went to the side room.
Although this palace is located in a mountain, it looks like a mountain house from the outside, but the interior layout reflects the style of the royal family. There are people standing guard everywhere, even outside the courtyard where they stay.
The so-called VIP room lived up to its name. As soon as Yan Yun entered, it was like entering the "Yihong Courtyard". A group of gorgeous maids surrounded him, undressing Yan Yun, boiling water for tea, and
Waiting for bathing and so on.
During the dinner, Jiang Yu had already bathed and changed clothes. He had spent more than half a year in the dungeon. Now that he was free, his demeanor had improved, and he really looked like an emperor.
The banquet was full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and Jiang Yu and Yan Yun enjoyed themselves as guests and host.
During the banquet, Jiang Yu praised Yan Yun for his good fortune. The Rong invaded Beilin as expected. The war had lasted for two months. He could not stay in the palace for a long time. He would go north tomorrow and invited Yan Yun to go with him.
Yan Yun declined politely, saying that he wanted to take advantage of the New Year's Eve, when Wang Chengru held a lantern festival as usual in previous years, and he wanted to meet Jiang Yu's brother.
Jiang Yu half-jokingly and half-seriously made a beheading gesture, meaning that if Yan Yun had the chance, he could kill Jiang Zhou.
Regicide is a taboo, and no matter who does it, it will eventually become a serious problem for the new king.
Yan Yun shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile that the dungeon of the Taishi Mansion was very spacious, which meant that Jiang Zhou could be imprisoned.
The two agreed that once the foreign troubles were resolved, they would raise troops to enter the royal city.
Yan Yun said bluntly that Jiang Yu could send someone to deliver the secret message to Taiping County beforehand, and he would cooperate with Jiang Yu in the incident.
Jiang Yu was overjoyed and repeatedly emphasized that what he said in the mountain was not just a whim, and he would not break his promise when it came to fruition.
As the new moon rises, Yan Yun sits on the terrace, using an oil lamp to look at the "Dead Souls" which he got from the eunuch Qian Duo.
The little black flag was certainly evil, but the magical power it displayed made Yan Yun dare not despise it, so he wanted to find out.
After reading this, he found that this book was indeed related to the magic performed by Qian Duo, including the general outline of the magic and the basic practice methods.
"Dead Soul Yin" says that the gods of human beings are one soul and the other soul. The soul is yang and the soul is yin.
The human soul is divided into three, and the soul is divided into seven, which is called the three souls and seven souls. The three souls, one is the heaven soul, the second is the earth soul, and the third is the life soul, also known as "Yuan Shen, Yang Shen, Yin Shen" or
"Heaven soul, consciousness soul, human soul", etc. Among the three souls, the two souls of heaven and earth are outside the body. Only the soul of life resides in the human body. The three souls of heaven and earth are related to each other. If a person dies, the soul of heaven returns to heaven, and the soul of earth
The soul wanders among the graveyards, and the soul of destiny returns to the underworld.
"Dead Soul Yin" also says that souls are divided into heaven, earth and people, and they are also divided into yin and yang, and yin and yang correspond to each other. The seven souls are: one soul rushes to the sky, two souls are spiritual wisdom, three souls are Qi, four souls are strength, five souls are the center, and six souls are essence.
, the seven souls are the heroes, which are hidden in the torso of the human body from the top of the head to the crotch. The heavenly soul is in the crown chakra, the spiritual soul is in the eyebrows, the vitality is in the throat, the powerful soul is in the heart and is connected to the limbs, the central soul is in the navel, and the essence is in the navel.
The soul is in reproduction, and the heroic soul is in the bottom of the sea.
When a person is first born, he is given the soul of heaven and the soul of the earth. The soul of life lives in the womb. The soul of life is divided into seven to form seven souls. The soul is exclusive to the body. After death, the seven souls dissipate and the soul of life disperses.
End of life.
In other words, the human soul absorbed by the black flag belongs to the life soul among the three souls. If you lose this soul, you will never be reincarnated!
