Eight people were killed overnight. This shocking case attracted the attention of the Dali Temple and even the entire court. Under the pressure of many parties, the case was quickly solved. After receiving the case file sent by Dali Siqing, the little emperor couldn't calm down for a long time. For this reason, he specially recalled the emperor's uncle from Nandoushan to the imperial city, and just wanted to communicate with him.
As soon as Prince Jin sat down in the hall, the little emperor handed him a thick stack of documents and said, "Uncle Huang, take a closer look."
After half an hour, Prince Jin said calmly: "Is there anything wrong with this case?"
"No, it's not right anywhere! Uncle Huang, you are a smart person, I don't believe you can't see the weirdness in it at all." The little emperor frowned and looked worried. But it turned out that the case was quickly found out. The eight people were kidnapped by a group of robbers in order to take away the blood of the old man. They hung the old man upside down on the beam, drained his blood like a pig waiting to be slaughtered, and then packed it in small porcelain jars and sold them on the black market.
The black market was mixed, and the news spread quickly through various channels. As soon as I heard that these bottles contained the blood of the old man, dozens of buyers contacted these robbers that day, vying to divide up the blood. Five or six hundred taels per bottle, as many as three or four thousand taels per bottle, and Apex Blood sold for a high price of fifty thousand taels.
Once the government found the black market, it could no longer be investigated, because most of the people who bought these blood bottles were powerful and noble, and they couldn't afford it. When the little emperor first assumed power, he had no plans to investigate it, so the case was closed.
But in addition to the investigation, Dali Temple learned some horrifying news. On that day, there were six or seven groups of people who tried to attack the old man. Except for the robbers, the other groups had mysterious backgrounds, and they also showed their actions when they acted. Very strong organization, if they didn't go too late, they wouldn't let a group of rabble succeed. Only these illiterate robbers would kill the chickens and take their eggs after catching people, and let the bloodletting directly. If the old man falls into the hands of others, he is afraid that he will be well kept in captivity and become a medicine man who provides blood for a long time.
However, people are already dead, and many guesses are buried in this very beautifully written file, but the little emperor has always been unable to let go. He stared at the uncle's eyes and said in a low voice, "Uncle, do you remember what Lin Xianchang said when the old man left Xuanqing Temple? If she hadn't kept emphasizing that the old man's body contained powerful medicinal power, it would have been ten years since the old man left. , will not dissipate for 20 years, the old man is probably still alive and well. She is a person who is very good at speaking, and only needs a few words to decide a person's life and death. Others only know that she is very accurate, How could she have thought that she was the master of all this? If she hadn't repeatedly mentioned that the treasures of heaven and earth still exist in the old man's body, this tragedy would not have happened. Not only did she know what kind of fate the old man would face, but also Pushed. Uncle Huang, don't you think she is scary?"
The little emperor paused for a while, then said again: "After seeing this case file, I brought the servants of the Cai family to interrogate, what do you think? That day. When she lit the incense, not only did Cai Yi not yawn, but so did she. I always thought it was strange at the time, but I couldn't tell what was wrong, and now I want to understand - the reason why Lin Xianchang can see Cai Yi's mind so thoroughly is because she and him are actually the same kind of people. She looks good Shan, in fact, doesn't have many feelings, uncle, you have to be careful, don't fall for her."
The little emperor didn't want to think badly about Lin Dan, but for the happiness of his uncle's life, he had to think more. He originally thought that Lin Dan was a very kind and warm person, but today, he is not sure.
Prince Jin was not as sad as he expected, he even smiled happily, shook his head and said, "I can see better than you what kind of person Lin Dan is. I personally think that a person's nature can be divided. There are three parts, one is human nature, the other is divinity, and the third is demon nature. Good people always have a dark side, bad people always have a bright side, even the emperor is not perfect, do you agree with this?"
The little emperor nodded.
Prince Jin continued: "In the face of Xu Miaomiao and Yao Bishui, Lin Dan will be angry, happy, angry and laugh, this is her human nature; in the face of patients, she will do her best to rescue her, regardless of the status, this is her In the face of evil people, she will be merciless and fight back, this is her demonic nature. She is not a bad person, she is just a very contradictory character that combines the truth of human nature, the goodness of divinity, and the fierceness of demon nature. In fact, I don't think she's scary at all. I don't think there's another person in the world who likes and hates like her. In my eyes, she is the best. I got it, and I recognized it."
Having said this, Prince Jin smiled, with complete longing and affection in his eyes. No matter what the world thinks of Lin Dan, whether it's a fairy or a demon, he only believes in what he sees and feels. He would feel extremely warm by Lin Dan's side, and that was enough.
The little emperor was deeply touched by the words of his uncle, and he picked up the case and read it again, but he had a different feeling. The actions of the old man and his son are really not worth wasting such precious medicinal materials to save. Lin Dan gave him his life, and he could take it back naturally. In fact, she did nothing but set up a chess game, and then pushed these people into the game as chess pieces, and the rest would naturally evolve according to cause and effect. What kind of cause those people planted will bear what kind of fruit, everything has nothing to do with Lin Dan.
She even warned the old man, leaving him a way out in the chess game. One word can make life, and one word can make people die, which shows that her divinity occupies most of her nature. She is like a god who has insight into everything, and can build a world just by pinching out a framework. As long as she wants, she can manipulate anyone's fate at will.
However, it was precisely because of her nature that she suppressed the idea of her joining the WTO. She stayed in Nam Doosan all day, shunning the hustle and bustle of the world, and had no desire for power and wealth. If patients and believers are willing to give money for sesame oil, she will accept it; if not, she will not ask for it. Her greatest pleasures every day are serving flowers and plants, refining medicine pills, chanting and meditating, teaching disciples, and treating illnesses and saving people. Other than that, she has no bad habits at all.
Will she flatter and cling to the powerful in pursuit of fame and fortune? Will she gossip and do evil for her own selfish interests? The little emperor couldn't imagine such a scene at all. At this moment, his tense face finally relaxed, and he laughed at himself: "Uncle Huang, I was wrong. The suspiciousness of the father killed the mother, and almost killed you and me. I didn't expect that it was not long after taking power. , I also contracted his faults. Lin Xianchang is a real master of the world, even if there are thousands of temptations in the mortal world, it can't shake her heart, I really don't need to be afraid."
Prince Jin nodded and said nothing.
The little emperor remembered Lin Dan's indifferent attitude when facing him, and laughed again, and suddenly asked anxiously: "How long will Lin Xianchang be in retreat this time? Will it delay your illness?"
Prince Jin shook his head and said, "She recites scriptures and meditates in Sanqing Hall every day, and she doesn't know how long she will be in retreat. But don't worry, she will definitely do what she promised me."
"I can't rest assured, I might as well go and beg her in person. Uncle, I hope you can have a good night's sleep this winter, and you will no longer have to endure the torture of cold poison." The little emperor seemed to have made a decision. Kind of determination, eyes full of perseverance.
…
The slaughter of the old man's family has not faded away, yet another shocking scandal broke out in Hanguang Temple. A woman came to the temple gate with a two or three-year-old boy in her arms, threatening to make the host responsible. The woman shouted very loudly, alarming the believers who came to worship the Buddha. Everyone didn't want to believe it, but after seeing the boy, they fell silent again. Without him, the boy's appearance and host are eight. Nine points are similar, and no amount of arguments appear pale in front of two almost identical faces.
The host was unable to resist the woman's entanglement, and the clues were immediately revealed, which greatly disappointed the believers. A few days later, this matter not only did not subside, but instead became more and more noisy, but it turned out that in order to stop the woman's mouth, she told her to admit that she was a lunatic, and the host was willing to give her tens of thousands of property and a hundred acres of fertile land. The rest of his women couldn't sit still when they heard the news, and they all brought their children to Hanguang Temple one after another to make noise.
In order to deal with Xuan Qingguan, the host took in millions of properties, and the rest was simply not enough for seven or eight wives and concubines and a dozen children. Everyone didn't want to suffer a loss, so naturally they tore their faces, entered the yamen with a slap in the face, and united to sue the host.
In order to find evidence that the host was greedy and concealed the public property of Hanguang Temple, the official went to his room to search, and actually turned up dozens of unspeakable love letters, all from the hands of Wanling, the granddaughter of Wan Zhongliang, a second-rank official. She was only fourteen years old this year, and she had an affair with the host who was nearly forty years old. She was deeply inextricable, trying to find a good man to marry, and continue to maintain this illegitimate relationship with the host.
After a series of peach disputes, the official found the physical and human evidence that the host tried to seize the land of Xuanqingguan. But it turned out that the family that was killed was under his orders. If you don't recruit it, you can't do it. He also has a share in the matter of greed for the public property of Hanguang Temple. He will even dress up the female branch in the flower building as a pilgrim and secretly bring it up the mountain for the brothers and sisters. kinky. happy.
All these scandals were uncovered, and all the people who went to the court hearing were disgusted and cursed loudly. Some people covered their ears, expressing that they didn't want to listen to it any longer. The believers of Hanguang Temple were so devout at the beginning, and now they are so angry. They went up the mountain in the dark, smashed the towering temple gate made of copper and iron, and tried to abuse the monks in the temple.
Fortunately, these monks ate well, slept well, grew fat and strong, and still had the strength to resist, and they were repelled. But this approach is obviously even more inappropriate, which not only completely angered the believers, but also led to the complete collapse of the reputation of Hanguang Temple.
However, in just a few days, the once-prosperous and solemn temple has been dilapidated and notorious. The monks in the temple were caught, those who returned to the vulgar, and those who escaped, were almost empty. Xuanqing Temple, which is only 100 meters away from Hanguang Temple, has no one dared to disturb it, and it is a pure land of its own.
The scandals and lawsuits at Hanguang Temple have been raging for more than a month, and in the early winter, another big news spread all over the capital. In order to seek medical treatment for Prince Jin, the little emperor planned to climb the dangerous Nandou Mountain on foot, and then kowtowed in front of Xuanqingguan Gate to ask Lin Xianchang to leave the customs.
Everyone knows that the little emperor is willing to do anything in order to cure Prince Jin's illness. Back then, he could kowtow to the medical sage, and now he can also kowtow to Lin Xianchang, not to mention that Lin Xianchang can even save the dying, and his medical skills are far superior to the medical sage. So on that day, people who came to watch the lively crowd gathered around the foot of the mountain, creating a spectacle of empty streets.
The Imperial Guard guarded the major routes to Mount Namdou, and only allowed royal clansmen and high-ranking officials of the third rank or above to wait at the top of the mountain. Not only did the little emperor come, but even Prince Jin, whose condition was getting worse day by day, also came. The two helped each other climb the steep steps, and knelt down three times before the gate of Xuanqing Temple.
Yao Bishui was in a panic, and frequently walked into the Sanqing Hall, trying to persuade Lin Dan to stop the two from kneeling and worship, so as not to lose their lives.
"You think too much." Lin Dan said unhurriedly: "They did this to show their sincerity; second, to elevate my status and tie me to the royal family. They want to act, I They cooperated, and both parties were happy. Why not? If I hurriedly ran out to flatter me, I would really lose the reputation of Xuanqingguan and break the emperor's calculations. So you can bear it with peace of mind, as I once said, I want to be the living god of Nam Doosan, it's not false."
Yao Bishui was stunned, then patted his forehead and left the Sanqing Palace.
Lin Dan continued to meditate. After half an hour, he ordered the two lovely Taoist boys of Yuxue to open the mountain gate, and invited Prince Jin and the little emperor, who were still kneeling on the spot, to enter.
The royal clan and Manchao Xungui who were waiting on the side were almost cracked by the frigid mountain wind, but they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction with Lin Dan's actions. Not to mention Lin's profound Taoist method of slaying life and death, beheading demons and slaying demons, only her superb alchemy technique is enough for them to bow before her.
People will die sooner or later, and they are willing to pay any price if they can get a chance to continue their lives when they are about to die. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor and Prince Jin had already been focusing on beauty, all the clans and senior officials would actually like to kneel in front of the mountain gate and kowtow a few times to show their respect and devotion to Xianchang Lin.
Not long after everyone entered the Taoist temple, two guards carefully carried out a blank plaque with a black background and a gold border. Later, the little emperor also came out with a group of ministers, holding a sheep's brush in his hand, dipped in thick golden ink, and wrote three characters of "Xuanqingguan" in big characters, and took out another one. In the imperial decree, Lin Dan was canonized as Nandou Zhenren.
Even among the devout Christians too. In the Ancestor period, no Taoist priest could obtain the emperor's royal pen, but Lin Dan did it, but no one of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood up to oppose it.
Lin Dan took the decree and retreated again, never showing any sincerity or ecstasy from beginning to end. Whether her indifference and peace were true or false, the little emperor could see at a glance, and thus completely dispelled his doubts.
…
The emperor's homage and canonization pushed Lin Dan's reputation directly to the top. Overnight, Xuanqing Temple replaced Hanguang Temple and became the holy place that people yearn for. In the whole Daqi, I don't know how many people want to send their children to study, but they can't get in, and Lin Dan has no intention to seize the site of Hanguang Temple. She had promised the little emperor that in her lifetime, Xuanqing Temple would never be expanded, nor would she want to recruit Taoist priests. She doesn't care about this mundane world, she just wants to stay quietly in Nam Doosan and be a happy living fairy.
Jingzhong Xungui is eight out of ten. Jiu is a follower of Lin Dan. The Hou San of Yongxin, who had completely recovered from the illness, climbed from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain by kneeling and knocking nine times to thank Lin Xianchang for his life-saving grace. His wives, concubines and children also knelt on the ground, which not only did not receive ridicule and contempt from the honorable circle, but aroused heated discussions. If they had known that Xianchang Lin could open the door in person to greet him with three kneels and nine knocks, they would also be willing. The thick pile of sesame oil money hidden in their sleeves was waiting to be delivered!
All in all, Lin Dan, an abandoned woman from a humble background, has now become a figure standing at the pinnacle of power, and Xu Zuguang and Wan Xiuer, who originally wanted to plot against her, are now unable to reach a piece of her clothes even if they take a human ladder. horn.
In order not to offend the one on the top of the mountain, Wan Yushi, who knew the inside story, made the same choice as in his previous life. So one day in early winter, Wan Xiu'er's aunt was expelled from the house by Wan Yushi on charges of jealousy, talkativeness, theft, etc. She gave birth to a pair of children, namely Wan Xiu'er and her younger brother, who were all expelled from the house. Wan Yushi was crossed out from the family tree, and ended up with a more embarrassing ending than the previous life.
Wan Xiu'er's aunt brought her son to the Xu family for help, but Xu Zuguang was too busy to take care of himself, and there was no spare energy to help them. To say something unpleasant, now it is not a question of whether he should let Lin Dan go, but whether Lin Dan will care about him.
Lin Dan is the real Nandou who was proclaimed by the emperor, and he also took in Prince Jin, and he is in close contact with him every day. What is Xu Zuguang's sixth-grade sesame official in her eyes? If she thinks of the old and new hatred, or if she suddenly feels uneasy one day, she can crush Xu Zuguang into powder just by opening her mouth. How long can Xu Zuguang take care of her mood? If she is in a good mood, she may be able to forget this character; if she is in a bad mood, Xu Zuguang will be wiped out in an instant.
Xu Zuguang himself knew this very well, so he couldn't sleep at all in recent days. He lived in fear and anxiety every day, and he didn't have the mind to think about the glory and wealth of his previous life. Wan Xiu'er's condition was even worse. She locked herself in her room all day, and did not even see her mother and brother.
At first, there would be the sound of broken porcelain in her room. Later, when the impoverished Xu family had no porcelain for her to smash, she was completely quiet. After tossing for a long time, the child in her belly was born safely. It was a boy who was very thin and frail.
It is said that being a mother is stronger, and the arrival of this child completely ended Wan Xiuer's self-torture. Like a different person, she not only walked out of the dim wing, but also began to take care of the family property, trying to leave something for the child. On the contrary, she was annoyed to even look at Xu Zuguang more than once. This once incomparably loving couple had somehow come to the point of being strangers.
Xu Zuguang gradually realized that Wan Xiu'er was also reborn. Thinking about her in her previous life and looking at her now, Xu Zuguang suddenly understood that if she was not trampled by Lin Dan, she became a lowly concubine and lost it again. With the care of the family, she will not be flattering, gentle and considerate to him. Their so-called deep friendship is nothing but a helpless mutual deception.
She clearly remembered her previous life, but she kept it from him, tried to hold him hostage from the high ground of morality, used the power of her mother's family to pinch him, and finally coaxed him to transfer the most profitable shops to her name. But what did she get in the end? She got a lot of debt and an empty dream!
Seeing this dilapidated home, Xu Zuguang was extremely unwilling, so when Shangfeng asked him to participate in the arrangement of the imperial examination, he failed to withstand the temptation, took the candidates' money, and leaked the test questions. It didn't take long for this to be discovered, and he repeated the same mistakes and went to prison again. When the yachai put the shackles and iron chains on him, he shivered with fear, and he urinated on the floor just two steps away, becoming the laughing stock of everyone.
Wan Xiuer hugged the child and hid in the room, never came out to see him off, and never said a word of comfort.
Xu Zuguang was full of urination. The taste entered the cell, and there were several other prisoners living with him. They muttered something in a low voice, and vaguely heard words such as "dredging relationships, baiting people, and clearing charges". The jailer in charge of the prisoners sneered: "Come on, this time, the emperor and Prince Jin personally took the initiative to thoroughly investigate the fraud in the imperial examination. You wash your neck and wait for the beheading. Don't make these unrealistic dreams. There is no one who took out the whole tail, and the two on top have already endured, and no one will be given face."
Another jailer put a fragrant pill on the tip of his nose, sniffed in intoxication and said, "You are wrong about this, there is still someone in Beijing who can get through the relationship between the two."
"Who are you talking about?" the former jailer asked curiously.
"The person with all-round means is the only one in our capital, right?"
"Hey, what you said is not like talking in vain! That living god doesn't care about this kind of shit."
"I know she doesn't care about these mundane things, I mean, that person is the most honorable person in Beijing."
"No, even the emperor has to salute when he sees her."
The two went off topic while talking, and began to discuss various miracles of Lin Xianchang. In desperation, Xu Zuguang's eyes suddenly brightened, and suddenly he gritted his teeth and scratched his heart and lungs. In the unspeakable torment, he fell asleep and walked like a wandering soul in a magnificent mansion. He only felt that this place was inexplicably familiar, that place was extremely friendly, and every plant and tree was lovely and colorful, making people nostalgic. Suddenly, a thin and frail woman walked into the hanging flower door with her head buried in the hall. After entering the hall, she put the medicine box in her hand at will, and said happily: "Xianggong, I have cured General Du's secret disease, don't worry, he not only You can't die, but you can live a hundred years. He patted his chest and agreed to your matter, you can wait for the good news at home. "
The woman raised her head, revealing a face that, although smiling, was extremely vicissitudes.
"Lin Dan!" Xu Zuguang woke up suddenly, tried hard to recall for a moment, and finally remembered many details that he had deliberately forgotten.
It turned out that it was not a dream, but something that really happened in a previous life. In order to help him re-enter his career, Lin Dan travels from home to home every day to treat all kinds of people. She gave up her face, her comfort, and even her fame, and finally got his wealth. She can step him into the mud, and she can lift him to the sky. She has so many skills that ordinary people can't match. It's ridiculous that he always thinks that he can live so smoothly because of his own strength and talent.
Reborn, Lin Dan taught Xu Zuguang a lesson by leaving decisively - without me, you are nothing!
Thinking of this, Xu Zuguang completely collapsed. He first covered his face and cried, and then hit the wall with his head again and again, but he didn't want to live at all.
At the same time, Wan Xiuer gathered up all the belongings in the family and fled in the car, without even taking her mother and younger brother with her. She wants to leave here and start from scratch. She still has a child. When the child grows up and takes the imperial examinations and becomes a high-ranking official, he will definitely avenge his mother!
The idea was very inspiring, but unfortunately, the driver slowly drove the car into a dense forest, parked in a field, and ran away without looking back. Xu Weibai and Xu Yuling emerged from the bushes, each holding a sharp knife in their hands. They acted very fast, one came up to cover Wan Xiu'er's mouth, the other came up to grab her child, and Wan Xiu'er was still in confinement, so she didn't have the strength to resist.
"You guys, what do you want to do? I have money, I'll give you money, please let me and the child go!" Wan Xiu'er said sobbing.
Xu Weibai smiled grimly, then strangled the child mercilessly, his face full of madness and hideousness. Xu Yuling pressed a sharp knife to Wan Xiu'er's neck, and said sarcastically, "Aren't you going to get rid of us for this child? How is it, is your heart hurting now?"
Wan Xiuer is crazy. Staring blankly at the dead child, his pupils zoomed repeatedly, and he lost his soul. After a while, she suddenly laughed wildly and said word by word: "Xu Weibai, do you remember Wanling? She gathered with the monks of Hanguang Temple. Promiscuous. Pregnant with a child, find me, follow me Said he wanted to marry a man from a lowly family background who was easy to handle, so that he could continue to hang out with those monks. I recommended you without even thinking about it, but your mother is too capable. I don't agree with death. But no matter what she said to you, you didn't believe it. Instead, you denounced her for spreading rumors and turning against her completely. A green hat for a lifetime, being a bastard! It's ridiculous that you are still grateful to me and keep calling my mother, do you know how happy I was at that time? I can wake up laughing in my dreams, hahahahaha!"
Xu Weibai's face turned purple with anger, and then he pressed down on his violently heaving chest, as if he would push it at any moment.
Wan Xiu'er looked at Xu Yuling and said sullenly, "Xu Yuling, do you remember Huang Lang? He was also specially prepared for you by me, but it's a pity that your mother is so concerned that your elopement failed. Know what he is. What's the origin? The so-called farming family, high talent and gentleness are all fake. He is a bastard who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, and only has a good-looking face. I can't count on my hands, and it's still stained. I'm sick, I won't be alive for a few years! I originally planned to wait for you to leave, and then go to a small mountain village to collect your corpse in a few years. I didn't expect you to be so lucky. You escaped the disaster. Do you know how happy I am when you see you resenting your mother and fighting against her every day? Every time you go home and stay for a while, I will be happy to eat a few more bowls of rice!"
Wan Xiu'er looked at the void and laughed loudly: "Look at you now, and look at Lin Dan today, do you realize how stupid you are? She is majestic now. A living god that everyone in Daqi country respects. Without the drag of you two idiots, she will live a more beautiful life than her previous life! Hahaha, you are so stupid, you have left such a big backer! God told you Rebirth, I just want you to see with your own eyes how stupid you are! Hahaha, uh uh…”
Wan Xiu'er's mad words came to an abrupt end, and the sharp knife that cut her throat was nowhere near Xu Yuling's throat. A column of blood spurted out, staining everyone red.
Wan Xiu'er fell down, hugged her son's body tightly when she was dying, and tried her best to let out one last laugh, but not at Xu Weibai and Xu Yuling, but at herself. It's ridiculous that she thought she would be able to destroy Lin Dan first, and then regain everything she once had, or even more. But in the end, she found out that the wealth, glory, splendor and food in her previous life were nothing but a charity from Lin Dan. Without Lin Dan, these few of them would be worse than pigs and dogs!
How wonderful it would be if there was no rebirth! This idea came to the minds of the three of them at the same time. Xu Weibai sat paralyzed in a pool of blood, her expression was numb, Xu Yuling grabbed her hair one by one, and murmured: "Mother, I regret it! Mother, I shouldn't listen to you! Mother, I don't hate you. Now, please forgive me!"
The only thing that responded to her was the whistling mountain wind, like the howl of a demon, woo woo woo woo woo...
