Tens of thousands of paper cranes flew back and forth in the city, and once they found the plague, they swooped down and devoured it. At first, the common people would dodge, and when they realized that this was probably the means of ghost doctors, they would just stand there and let them peck at them. The carrying capacity of each paper crane is limited. Once it swallows too much plague, it will automatically fly high into the sky, turning into a cluster of lavender fireworks, and then fluttering away with the wind.
In the Renxin Hall, Shu and King Yu were not idle, they continued to fold one by one and let them fly. Suddenly, the endless black clouds in the sky were pierced by the purple fire, and a large hole was opened, allowing the bright sunlight to shine in, driving away the plague, as well as the cold and despair.
Only then did Youshu stop and use the Yin-Yang Pen to light the eyes of the last paper crane. With both hands held high, she released it, "The danger of Cangzhou has been resolved, we can rest for a while."
"Really?" King Yu also put down the talisman paper in his hand and walked to the window to look. Clusters of small purple light spots appeared in the sky, which seemed to be inconspicuous, but slowly swallowed the heavy dark clouds. Light and shadow, black and purple, interweave into a magnificent spectacle, not only like the glow of the sun before the sunrise, but also like the blazing beacon after the fierce battle.
Wang Yu looked at his eyes sore, took the boy into his arms, and gently sucked and kissed the corners of his slightly raised lips, "With Shu, we won."
"I said I would protect you well!" Youshu puffed out her small chest with a very contented expression. Although the slap in the face this time was a bit big, it was resolved satisfactorily. In the past, it was the master who protected him, and this time it was his turn to protect the master.
Seeing the dark blue in his master's eyes, he immediately bent down and picked him up, placed him on the soft bed, unbuttoned his hair crown, robe, shoes and socks, and said in a coaxing little doll's tone, "Honey, hurry up and sleep. Once you sleep, everything will be gone when you fall asleep." At the end, he licked his master like a puppy a few times.
King Yu was rather dumbfounded, he dragged the boy into his arms and held it tightly, and sighed, "You accompany me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
You Shu still had a lot of aftermath to deal with, so she hurriedly kicked and kicked her legs and fluttered, but because she was too tired, or because the fragrance on her master was too familiar, she fell asleep while kicking and snoring softly. The little scorpion hiding on the top of his hair climbed to the back of his neck and slowly melted into the flesh and turned into a lifelike tattoo.
King Yu touched the boy's pale cheek, and then kissed his smooth forehead, and then he turned over and trapped him, and then fell asleep.
Outside the Renxin Hall, the troubled people are still holding torches, looking at the paper cranes flying around in the sky. Every time a paper crane turns into a flame with a "bang", their inner despair is reduced by a point. In just a few quarters of an hour, the originally thick black clouds were burned by these flames and many large holes were burned, and the brilliant golden sunlight continued to shine down, taking away the cold of winter.
When the last cloud was swallowed and burned by the paper cranes, and a few hot smoke and dust fell, only a few people came to their senses and murmured, "Unlocked! The blood curse has been unlocked!"
"Don't thank you for your savior?" Zhou Miaoyin stood at the door of the hospital with a sarcastic smile on her face.
The guys finally regained their senses, hurriedly threw the torches on the ground, stomped them out with their feet, and then kowtowed "bang bang bang". How angry and crazy they were before, how regretful and fearful they are now. Knowing that the ghost doctor can unravel the blood curse, why did they come to this scene? I don't know how he will settle it afterwards.
King Yu's private soldiers also regained their sanity, and then thought of more. Previously, the prince had been living in Renxintang, and their actions of burning Renxintang were tantamount to rebellion, fearing that they would be divided by five horses. But a small blood curse, how can I get a ghost doctor? It is said that the adult's means are sky-high, and until now I have only known that this is not a compliment, but a true truth!
"Master Ghost Doctor, forgive me! I'm waiting for ten thousand deaths!" They hurriedly dropped their weapons and knelt down and kowtowed.
For a time, there were people kneeling outside Renxin Hall, some begging, some thankful, and some looking at immortals, but there was no movement in Renxin Hall. There was a spiritual rain in Cangzhou Mansion.
Lingyu drove away the last trace of haze. When the people stepped on the soft and fragrant soil and walked to the fields to look out, they found that the wheat ears that fell on the ground before winter had taken root and sprouted, and it looked green from a distance. After the plague raged, what was left was not dilapidation and depression, but vigor. There is a ghost doctor in Cangzhou, and there is no room for ghosts and ghosts.
Renxintang did not open its doors for seven or eight days in a row. The people thought that they had offended the gods, and they dared not go to see and worship. Instead, they secretly built a temple to worship the ghost doctor. Youshu was not as angry as they thought. In fact, he never looked down on these people. Whether they liked him, feared him, or hated him was never in his consideration.
Now he is counting things to take to the capital. Three days ago, the imperial palace sent an urgent edict, saying that the emperor was seriously ill, and asked the princes to return to the capital immediately. You Shu got one, and Zhou Miaoyin also got one, and the genius doctors in other vassal areas were in decline.
In order to understand the blood curse, Shu can be said to be bankrupt. His sack was originally a Qiankun bag, which was not comparable to Zhou Miaoyin's space, but it was not a problem to store a few hundred kilograms of things. But now, even if he turned the bag upside down, he only poured out two small black flowers, a dagger called Demon Slayer, and several jars of worms. As soon as the little scorpion smelled the same kind of smell, it burrowed out of the socket of his neck, smashed the outer layer of glass with its small chelicerae, and climbed in to feast on it. By the time Shu found out, it was too late.
"It's really edible." He sighed, holding his forehead.
King Yu put down the scroll, took him into his arms and kissed, "Let it eat, I will send someone to catch it. There are too many treasures in the world. Sooner or later, I can find them all and put them in front of you."
This is not wrong. Most of Shu's collections were plundered for him by the master in the Southern and Northern Wars. Whenever he fell asleep, the treasures in the underground palace would increase sharply, as if there were all the small worlds there. The node, and the master is the key to get through these worlds, scavenging all the treasures that can be found, just to make his life more comfortable after waking up.
Even if he loses his memory every time he is reincarnated, he is the best master and the best lover in the world. You Shu was so hot in her heart that she threw her on the soft couch, tore her clothes clumsily, and lowered her head to lick and kiss a few times from time to time.
This is what Zhou Miaoyin saw when he lifted the curtain. The young man sat on King Yun's waist and belly, burying his head and kissing him. King Yun smiled and kneaded and pinched his very upturned buttocks, as if he was enjoying it very much.
"Hey, I'm sorry, I knocked on the door, but you didn't answer, so I lifted the curtains to take a look. The car has been parked for a long time. Would you like to come down and walk around and have something to eat?" She blushed. .
Youshu felt very sorry in her heart, licked the corner of her master's mouth, and then got out of the car with a mess of hair. Zhang Gui has been sentenced to capital punishment for inciting the private soldiers of the palace to besiege Renxintang. Now there is no eunuch and maid to wait on the side of King Yu, and both of them do it themselves.
King Yu's body was much stronger and stronger, with one arm firmly imprisoning the young man in his arms, and the other arm slowly turning the grilled fish on the fire. Zhou Miaoyin waited cross-legged, rather bored.
"What are you looking at?" She tapped the picture scroll in Shu Shu's hand with a small wooden stick.
"I'm looking at the map of Wei State."
"What are you doing? Do you have any books? Lend me a few." Zhou Miaoyin had formed a revolutionary friendship with Shopkeeper Song, and they were relaxed and comfortable with each other. Her secrets that might lead to death were nothing in the eyes of Shopkeeper Song, so they could be exchanged without any burden.
"It's in the car, you can get it yourself." You Shu frowned and said in a deep voice, "There's a big problem with this map."
King Yu placed the grilled fish on the washed zong leaf, sprinkled salt and asked, "What's the problem?" To make the omnipotent ghost doctor say the words "big problem", it can be seen that this matter is quite tricky .
Zhou Miaoyin also sat back and studied the map carefully, but didn't see anything.
Youshu studied it repeatedly for two quarters of an hour, and slowly said, "I was wrong before, thinking that they were just tampering with the fate of the prince, but in fact, they changed the general trend of the world. Look at this picture, the current crown prince There are eight princes in the capital, and the fiefdom is surrounded by the capital. Does it look like eight dragons? And there are two dragons in the imperial city, namely the current Shengshang and Taishanghuang. The formation of this pattern is not accidental, but someone It was deliberately guided, and its purpose was to set up a formation.”
If he had checked Wei Guoyu's map earlier, he would have discovered the problem one day earlier, but it was not too late.
"What formation?" An ominous premonition rose in King Yu's heart.
Youshu threw out a few talismans and laid out a sound-proof formation, explaining in detail, "The formation of the Nine Dragons Picking the Stars formation. The Nine Dragons are the vassal kings, the Jinshang, and the Taishang emperor, and you are the star. This formation Its role is to take advantage of the state of the nine dragons and the stars to bring the general trend of the world and even the dragon energy accumulated by the royal family of Wei for hundreds of years to achieve the purpose of soaring into immortals. Such a huge fortune, the monsters of five or six hundred years will definitely absorb it. No, otherwise it will explode and die. So I have every reason to suspect that it is not a monster hiding behind it, but a group of monsters."
"A group of monsters?" King Yun looked solemn.
Zhou Miaoyin had goose bumps all over her body. Although she couldn't understand some words, it didn't prevent her from making up more terrifying plots. From shopkeeper Song's remarks, it can be guessed that his previous big actions were to investigate a certain matter, and this matter was related to monsters. He went to the capital not to see a doctor for the Emperor Taishang, but to slay demons and demons. I always feel that the character of the shopkeeper Song is getting more and more arrogant, cool and handsome. I don't know if I am lucky or too bad when I meet him.
"The monsters you mentioned are hidden in the capital? Can I go home now?" She pulled the package into her arms.
"I don't know how many of them there are, and who they are disguised as, but there is no doubt that they must be hidden in the palace. You see, the Forbidden City is where the eyes are, and only by living here can we absorb the Wei Kingdom. Fortune and dragon energy." You Shu pointed out the map and said in a deep voice, "No wonder the Emperor Taishang wanted to give the vassal kings such great power, which is almost equivalent to establishing a kingdom within eight kingdoms, but it turned out to be to enhance the dragon qi of the vassal kings. The power of the formation. Doctor Zhou, you'd better not act alone. I can see your spatial spiritual spring, and others can still see it. The big monster was severely injured by me and needs the spiritual creature to restore its mana. You It is very likely that it has been eyeing it. Your spiritual spring is extremely yin, and dragon energy is extremely yang, and the effect of two-phase reconciliation is amazing."
Zhou Miaoyin held the jade pendant around her neck and moved to the side of Shopkeeper Song, but she silently retreated under the gaze of the prince.
King Yu shoved the grilled fish into the hands of the young man and guessed, "Our rights are given by the father, and the fiefs are also selected by the father. Could it be that the father is a big demon?"
"No, he is just a pawn of the evil spirit, otherwise he will not enter the game. His various decisions should be guided by some people, and these people are the most suspicious." Youshu neatly removed the fishbone and stuffed the fish back into the master. Inside, patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. There are too many monsters who died in my hands, and it's not bad for this nest."
King Yu was amused, kissed the tip of his nose, and whispered softly, "My family has Shu really capable. Then I will entrust myself to you."
"Okay." You Shu held her master's wrist with a cautious expression as if she was swearing.
Zhou Miaoyin silently covered her eyes, and made up her mind that she would stay with Shopkeeper Song when she arrived in the capital, otherwise he would not have the time to pay attention to others.
The convoys of the vassal kings entered the capital one after another, each with their own plans, but today the sage seems to be facing a formidable enemy. As soon as he has time, he runs to the queen mother's palace, and he doesn't know what the mother and son are discussing. The Emperor Taishang was indeed ill, and he was so ill that he was now bedridden.
After taking the Zen throne, he stayed all day in the Ming and Qing palaces to concoct alchemy, and even summoned a slightly prestigious Taoist priest to the palace to accompany him, gradually ignoring state affairs. However, his early layout was very successful. With eight vassal kings restraining him, the imperial power in his hands not only did not fall, but also increased a lot. Every time a decree is promulgated today, I have to go to the Ming and Qing Palace to ask for advice, let alone depression.
Before the ghost doctor became famous in Wei State, the Emperor Taishang had also heard a few words from his servants. But this time, it was difficult for him to heal, and the empress dowager and Jinshang were stupid, stupid, eager, and moved, so he called all the vassal kings back to Beijing to serve the disease.
As soon as King Yu entered the capital, he heard the sound of bells coming from the imperial city, resounding through the sky. Pedestrians on the road were stunned at first, and at the end they all knelt down and kowtowed.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Miaoyin didn't know what to do, but Wang Yu and Youshu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, bowed their heads, and said in a low voice, "The Emperor Taishang died."
"How could he die? As soon as he dies, wouldn't the Nine Dragons Game for the Stars be over? That group of monsters won't get any benefits, but will fall short." Zhou Miaoyin knelt down as she spoke.
Youshu was also puzzled, but she didn't show anything on her face. After the sound of the bell disappeared, she boarded the carriage and rushed to the palace with her master. Six of the eight vassal kings have already arrived, and two more have come in with letters, and they will arrive soon. The once splendid palace now has white flags hanging everywhere, and the people who come and go in the palace are all dressed in plain clothes with sad faces.
Because of the sudden death of the Emperor Taishang, King Yu, who had just arrived in the capital, had no time to go to the palace for resettlement, so he had to find an inn to live in temporarily. After the two changed their mourning clothes, they walked all the way, and finally slowly approached the dead place. The more you walked, the more dignified her face became. She used the wide sleeves of her robe to cover and pulled her master, and said, "My lord, here is another formation."
King Yu secretly squeezed his fingertips to ask.
"This is the blood sacrifice formation method. Collecting the blood of Jiulong and Ziwei Emperor Star to condense the soul, can increase the Taoism for thousands of years in one fell swoop. The big demon should be severely injured and will die soon, otherwise all the pieces will not be sacrificed."
"Can you go out?"
"I can go out." Youshu patted the back of the master's hand and reassured him, "but we'd better not move, lest we startle the snakes. I was hesitating how to catch all those monsters, and they would come to the door automatically. During the blood sacrifice, All the monsters will jump into the blood pool to swallow the demon core, which is a thousand years of Taoism, who can resist such temptation? So I guess they will all come, and the ones who don’t come are also lowly demons, nothing to be afraid of.”
"What are you going to do?" King Yu was very calm. As long as the young man is by his side, he has nothing to be afraid of. He has to live together and die together. He has no regrets in life.
"You'll know by then." You Shu touched the shawl tied around her waist.
The two entered the mourning hall, took the incense candles from the palace maids and lit them, and were about to insert them into the copper furnace when the queen mother said coldly, "Wait! King Yu, you are the son of the late emperor, give him an incense stick. It's understandable, but what is he, who dares to step into the mourning hall wearing filial piety?" The fingertips wearing the gilded armor almost poked Shu's eyes.
King Yu pulled the young man behind him, cupped his hands and said, "Qi reported to the Queen Mother, You Shu is the partner of a son's minister, so you should be filial to the emperor."
"Mate, what do you mean?" The queen mother's eyes darkened. She never expected that King Yen would dare to say such a stupid thing in front of everyone's eyes.
The vassal kings were stunned for a moment, then secretly laughed in their hearts. As soon as the Emperor Taishang died, they would have no restraints. They only needed to send troops to besiege the imperial city, and the throne would not be captured? At this time, it was a good time to win over the courtiers, and no one would show any flaws, but he did not expect King Yu to expose his shortcomings and laugh at him. If a man is made a concubine, which noble girl is willing to marry him? What about the offspring? King Yu is a man who loves beauty but not the country!
But there were also a few vassal kings showing a solemn look, because they had already recognized the identity of the young man, and the other party was the ghost doctor with magical powers. No, we have to find a way to separate the two, but we are not in a hurry now, we have to do it slowly.
They wanted to deal with King Yu, but they didn't dare to offend the ghost doctor, so they opened their mouths to help and persuaded the queen mother who insisted on expelling people to go back. You Shu bowed his hands and thanked him, and took the position of Princess Yun generously. At the end, he stared at the Queen Mother with a cold expression.
She didn't show her back, but her eyes were dodging and flustered. She pinched herself with the armor to regain her composure. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the civil and military officials, concubines and concubines of the harem, the vassal king and his concubines, and even the Taoist priests invited by the Taishanghuang to make alchemy gathered in the mourning hall and began to worship.
The first day was calm, but when the last two vassal kings came with their families, the atmosphere in the mourning hall changed in an instant. Youshu has a keen sense of smell. Before entering the hall, he found that there was Ecstasy in the incense candle. After consuming it for three quarters of an hour, it would make people paralyzed. He quickly bit his fingertips and squeezed a drop of blood to feed the master.
King Yu gently licked the tiny wound and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
"There is a problem with today's incense candles." You Shu touched and touched the sleeping little scorpion in his neck, and explained, "I have a Gu soul to protect my body, but I can't invade all poisons, and my blood is the antidote to all toxins. Nine Dragons One Star has gathered, and they are about to start."
Prince Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened. He led the young man into the mourning hall and stood in the line of the prince. The monks lit three sticks of incense as thick as an arm, and then beat the wooden fish to recite the scriptures. Every time they reached the key point, they would signal the kings and civil and military officials to kneel and kowtow.
After three quarters of an hour, many people fell unexpectedly, and some people staggered and stood unsteadily. By the time they realized that something was wrong, it was too late. A strong gust of wind. The center of the mourning hall seems to have an organ that is slowly sinking to form a pool.
"What happened? How can there be a bathtub in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"
"Where is the ghost doctor? Find a way!" Someone shouted.
"What do you think? Can you protect yourself if you don't see him?" The young and handsome emperor stood up steadily, walked to King Yu's side, and used the soles of his shoes to crush the hand of the boy who was protecting him in his arms.
Youshu buried her face in her master's arms, not knowing whether it was too painful or too frightened, she trembled slightly. King Yu was annoyed at the abnormality, but he was helpless, so he buried his face in the neck of the young man and let out a low growl like a trapped beast. The "timid" behavior of the two really amused the emperor, and the other party stopped crushing and said loudly, "Mother, quickly throw the father in."
The empress dowager, who pretended to be paralyzed, got up. With a swipe of sleeves, she knocked the coffin cover made of copper water into the air. She took out the body of the emperor with one hand and threw it into the pool. I don't know what kind of powder she sprinkled inside, but Emperor Taishang's body turned into blood in an instant, and many bubbles appeared.
The strong smell of blood spread in the hall, causing the kings and civil and military officials to almost faint. Although I really want to be the first to kill King Yin, the blood sacrifice method is very orderly. Pick among the feudal lords.
"Master Ghost Doctor, help!" King Jing, who was selected, firmly grabbed the boy's cuff. The people present are all mortals, and only the ghost doctor may be able to compete with these two madmen.
You Shu is proficient in all kinds of formations, so he naturally knew that King Jing would be thrown into the blood pool by the second one, so he would lie down beside him. From an angle that no one could see, he stuffed two pitch-black spirit grasses into King Jing's sleeves. As soon as he did all this, the queen mother kicked him away, and finally picked up King Jing and threw it into the blood pool.
King Jing, who should have been corroded into a pool of blood by the demon poison, was unscathed, but just lay on the bottom of the pool and kept calling for help. The two spirit grasses in his sleeves slowly melted, making the blood darker and darker, and when the mist emerged, the entire palace was enveloped in an instant, and it became invisible.
"Skin poison! How can skin poison be mixed in the pool?"
