Views:

On the evening of the day when Dafeng envoys entered Beijing, Emperor Dayan, who was accompanying Fenglin to a dinner and watching singing and dancing, received a message from the Yuan country—the Yuan Emperor and the new general died of illness on the same day. The cause is unknown. Now Yuan The group of dragons has no leader, and the chaos becomes a pot of porridge.

Emperor Dayan was shocked, and the dinner banquet ended in a hurry.

Shi Qingyuan, who was invited to accompany the guests, left the palace where the banquet was held, thinking about Yuan Guo's affairs in his mind, frowning.

Yu Zhen, who was hiding in a tree on the roadside, finally waited for him to come out, and hurriedly broke off a branch and smashed it on his head, calling out in a low voice, "Qingyuan, here."

Shi Qingyuan was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Yu Zhen humorously half-prone on a branch. He laughed before saying, "Have you come back from work? Come down quickly. The tree is dangerous. Be careful. Up."

"I can't fall to me at this level. You may be discovered by the guards when you go down. Let's just talk like that." Yu Zhen deliberately made a look to guard against the guards around him, and continued to lower his voice and said, "You know what happened to the Emperor Yuanguo. Already? There is a secret in it. I have a friend who told me that the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the generals were actually poisoned to death, the same as the poison you had in the first place."

Shi Qingyuan frowned again after hearing this, stepped forward and looked up at him, and asked, "Is the news true?"

"Of course it is true, my friend will not lie to me." Yu Zhen replied, looked around again, threw down an envelope to him, and said: "And this, you'd better find a chance to remind your father, Da Yan and Yuan Dynasty’s imperial family have been involved in successive accidents. I suspect that someone is plotting wrongdoing. You'd better remind the emperor and let him find the opportunity to thoroughly check the population in the capital and the palace to see if there are any suspicious elements."

Shi Qingyuan took the envelope, didn't doubt what he said, and nodded in response: "I will do what you told me, then you... Do you want to follow me back to the palace?"

"No." Yu Zhen shook his head, because he was anxious to do bad things, so he didn't notice Shi Qingyuan's slightly sad eyes, and said: "I have something to do. I will leave first. I will come to you when I'm busy. You are fine. be careful."

After speaking, he waved his hand and walked away and left.

Shi Qingyuan looked at the empty branches and touched the envelope in his hand. After a long time, he sighed slightly.

Yu Zhen returned to the side hall of the imperial palace where Fenglin and others lived, and said directly after entering the door: "Things have already been given to Qingyuan. He would mistakenly think that there is a rebel organization that wants to take action against the imperial family of the Three Kingdoms. He suggested that the emperor thoroughly investigate the population of the capital. For this opportunity, you can search the capital carefully. It is best to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Qing or Miao Zhengguo."

Elder Feng responded, thinking of Shi Qingyuan's state at the dinner, and sighed: "Qingyuan doesn't remember us at all."

"But I remember Brother Yu, and he trusts Brother Yu so much." Feng Lin added, sighing old-fashionedly, and deliberately sighed sourly: "It seems that in Brother Qingyuan's heart, we are not as important as Brother Yu."

"Stop talking nonsense! Qingyuan is doing this, mostly because Xiaozhen picked up his buddha beads, with his breath on him, which made him instinctively close." Feng Lao raised his hand and patted Feng Lin again, then looked at him. Yu Zhen asked, "Are you going to Dafeng now?"

"Well, get something and go."

In order to confirm the news that a rebel organization wanted to take action against the imperial family of the Three Kingdoms, Dafeng must also do something to prevent Emperor Dayan from suspicious of Dafeng and suspect that the affairs of Dayan and Yuanguo were Dafeng's ghosts.

Yu Zhen replied, suddenly stretched her hand in front of Fenglin, and hooked her finger: "You puppet toys, give me some."

Feng Lin was stunned, and asked while digging out something, "Brother Yu, what do you want my puppet soldier to do? Are you bored on the road and want to hold it for fun?"

What he cultivated was puppet art, with a lot of puppet prototypes on his body, but because of his poor learning skills, the puppets were empty and tangible without gods. Except for the more powerful puppets he used to use, the others were all at toy level. Can bluff people.

"It's said that there are rebel groups that want to be unfavorable to the royal family of the Three Kingdoms, so what if there are no rebels. The puppets I bring with me are not enough to form an army, and I can use it for you." Yu Zhen explained, seeing Feng Lao and Bo Xiu. Came over, smiled, and said: "Is there any faster way to disrupt the illusion than to break the illusion and create the triumph of the Three Kingdoms?"

Waiting for the fourth force to appear on the stage and directly threaten the Three Kingdoms, he will have to see how the battle will respond. Once the squad eye starts to respond, it will be much easier for them to find the foot of the squad eye.

Bo Xiu quickly figured out his intentions, couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Xiaozhen still has a way. This is a good way. Fenglin is quick. Give Xiaozhen all your puppets. The more the better."

In the middle of the night that Yu Zhen left, Emperor Dayan, after seeing Shi Qingyuan who had returned from the dinner party, suddenly mobilized the imperial forest army and began to conduct a thorough investigation of the population of the capital overnight, and to check the defenses throughout the capital.

Unexpectedly, Feng and the others took the opportunity to scatter the monks, mixed in the imperial forest army, and began to patrol the entire imperial city.

In the early morning of the next day, Yu Zhen returned, bringing news that Emperor Dafeng was dead, and then left immediately and set up a "rebel" at the junction of the three kingdoms.

This was two days away. When he returned to Dayan Capital again, the news that all the princes under the knees of Dafeng Emperor had died suddenly had reached Dayan Capital. As the only surviving prince Dafeng, Feng Lin was right. Endure the grief and hatred, pack up things and prepare for a stable situation in Dafeng immediately.

Yu Zhenshan appeared in the Fenglin house, saw that Feng and Bo Xiu were not there, and asked, "Where are Feng and Uncle Xiu? Are there any results from your search this time?"

Seeing him coming back, Feng Lin immediately removed his mask of "grief" and took a careful look at the army sent by Emperor Dayan to escort him back to China. He lowered his voice and said with joy, "The results are here. We are in the Dayan Heaven Prison." Miao Zhengguo was discovered."

Yu Zhen was taken aback, then raised his hand and patted his forehead, scolding himself for being careless.

When he searched Dayanjing City before, he had searched everywhere, but he had forgotten the prison alone. He was really baffled and confused. After cursing, he hurriedly asked, "Tian prison? How did he go to the Tian prison?"

"This is still unclear. The one who found him was a young monk whose strength was too weak to bring him out without knowing it, so Grandpa and Uncle Xiu went to help." Feng Lin shook his head and said happily. "Now that the candidate is determined, it is Zhou Qing! I know it must be him. It must be that he is jealous of Brother Qing Yuan, and wants to harm Brother Qing Yuan after he has become a devil!"

Yu Zhen hung his shoulders and signaled him to calm down. He was not worried about Feng Lao and the others. After saying hello to Feng Lin, his figure flashed, and he walked towards the prison.

When he arrived in the jail, Feng Lao and Bo Xiu, who had been here for a long time earlier, were still there. They were squatting dignifiedly in front of a bloody "corpse", protecting each other's heart with aura and discussing in a low voice. How to save people.

Yu Zhen was shocked and hurriedly stepped inside and asked, "What's the matter? What's wrong with him?"

Feng Lao and Bo Xiu turned their heads when they heard the sound, they couldn't help sighing before seeing that he was coming.

"Zhengguo... his skin was corroded by the evil spirit. If it weren't for a breath of spiritual energy, I'm afraid it would have been..." Old Feng frowned, and his face was rarely hateful. "Then Zhou Qing is really vicious and can't kill people. Nodding your head, this torture is really frantic!"

"Senior Feng and I don't have many elixirs, and we don't know any good healing techniques, so..." Bo Xiu also sighed, feeling very unbearable.

Yu Zhen furrowed his brows, pressing his discomfort and stepping forward to take a close look at the bloody man on the ground. He saw that his skin was ulcerated and his face was completely unrecognizable. First, he took out a vermilion fruit and exploded the juice dripping onto the opponent's lips slowly. Circumstances, and then asked: "He has become like this, how did you recognize him as Miao Zhengguo?"

Feng Lao and Bo Xiu quickly noticed the pure aura overflowing from the vermilion fruit in his hand, and hope ignited in his eyes. They looked at Yu Zhen and asked, "This..."

"It's a spirit fruit. I got a tree by chance and planted it by myself. It should be able to ease his situation." Yu Zhen explained briefly, took out another piece of sky silk and spread it on the ground, and used the spirit energy to lift the blood man over and gently put it on. , While thinking about how to save people, he asked the question just now again.

Seeing the treasures in his hand, Feng Lao and Bo Xiu no longer despair, and while actively helping, they briefly answered his questions.

It turns out that although Miao Zhengguo has become like this, his spiritual energy is not dispersed, so he can easily distinguish him from ordinary people. To determine his identity, you only need to check his practice. After all, the Buddha cultivates and The cultivation methods of other monks are different.

Yu Zhen was relieved after hearing this. After confirming that the Miao Zhengguo in front of him was not a guise made by the eye, he turned his hand, and a fingernail-sized ball appeared, which was directly stuffed into Miao Zhengguo's mouth.

After feeding the pills, he took out a bottle of syrup made from spirit grass, and while using his merits to dispel the evil spirits to Miao Zhengguo, he carefully applied the syrup to Miao Zhengguo's body little by little.

"This is a potion made of spirit grass. It is very useful for external injuries. In short, save his life first. The follow-up treatment will have to wait for him to go to a regular hospital for a visit." Yu Zhen explained, after applying the syrup. He also wrapped Miao Zhengguo into a mummy with silk as a bandage, fed a Bodhi lotus, and then he was done, and he withdrew his hand.

Feng Lao and Bo Xiu watched his treasure use like running water, and pulled Miao Zhengguo back from the edge of death little by little. It's reached."

"It's okay, let's go back to Fenglin first. Now that the situation is disrupted, Miao Zhengguo has also been found. It's almost time to jump the wall in a hurry." Yu Zhen stood up, finally seeing a little hope of breaking the battle, and he was a little relieved.

The group took Miao Zhengguo back to the side hall. Before Yu Zhen left, he used a puppet to make a soldier with Miao Zhengguo's corpse to fool the sky prison, and then went to the Qing Palace without stopping.

When the time came, Shi Qingyuan was reading a book again, but this time he was reading not Buddhist scriptures, but military books, and his expression was rare and solemn.

When Yu Zhen saw this, the corner of her mouth twitched, knowing that the disruptor had an effect, and Shi Qingyuan's mood had been affected. He slowly appeared, leaned in and took away the military book from his hand, and asked: "How do you read the military book? , Don't want to be a monk anymore?"

Shi Qingyuan returned to his senses, seeing him instinctively relaxed his eyebrows, and when he heard his question, he frowned again and said: "Yuan Jing people are in panic, everyone is in danger, and the father secretly adjusts. Dispatch soldiers, guard against the rebels, in such a chaotic situation, how can I rest assured that I will leave all this and go to a monk."

"But what can you do if you don't leave it? You're still not sure about going to war. What use is it for you to read military books? And even if there is a war going to happen, what use is it for you to read the military books temporarily?"

Yu Zhen deliberately poured cold water, threw the book of war to the corner, and continued: "Moreover, what you want to be a monk is the purity of the six roots. You haven't been in love yet, and now you are looking for something for yourself. Are you really not planning to be a monk?"

"... No." Shi Qingyuan was speechless by his call, glanced at the military book in the corner, and said: "I know it's useless to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily. In the past, I was too stubborn and failed my father's expectations and teachings. It has been a long time. The deficiencies in this book can not be corrected by reading a book, but... The Buddha said that the six faculties are clean, and he also said that all sentient beings should be saved. As in today’s turmoil, although my strength is weak, I still want to do something for the people of the world. It's up here, I won't be too late to become a monk."

It was quite clear to think, but Yu Zhen couldn't make him understand now.

"Then I'll ask you." Yu Zhen approached him, like a bad guy who confuses a good child into a demon, and asked: "If all sentient beings require you to kill many, many people, and also require you to get married and have children, it completely deviates from your original intention of becoming a monk. , What would you choose to do? Are you really not a monk? Or stick to your original aspirations, must be a monk, and give up the sentient beings waiting for you to purify."

This question was too sharp. Shi Qingyuan looked into his eyes as if he was about to be sucked in by some kind of light that flickered inside, but he suddenly returned to his senses, frowning and replied: "Yu Zhen, what you are talking about is only hypothesis, there is no absolute in the world. , If there is such a day, I believe there will be a better way of both worlds."

Yu Zhen stepped back again, calmed down, and asked, "Then if you really like someone during this period, and you fall into love, what should you do? Do you still insist on being a monk?"

"I..." Shi Qingyuan wanted to say of course. He was born to become a Buddha in this life. For him, love is just a kind of experience before becoming a Buddha. It is an obstacle that will inevitably cross the past. As he spoke, watching Yu Zhen listen to him carefully, what he said changed, "At that time, I believe the Buddha will guide me."

Yu Zhen still didn’t flicker. Yu Zhen started to feel a headache. Knowing that the medicine hadn’t been given enough, he didn’t say any more. He waved his hand and said, “Then wait for your Buddha’s guidance. you."

The room was empty, Shi Qingyuan instinctively wanted to block, and stretched out his hand, but only caught a cloud of air.

"Buddha's guidance." He retracted his hand and got up, walked to the corner to pick up the book of war that Yu Zhen had thrown away, with a blank look in his eyes.

If the Buddha really has guidance, then what is his predicament at this time, what does the Buddha want to tell him

One day later, Miao Zhengguo woke up, Fenglin also officially set off to return to Dafeng.

After bidding farewell to the members of the Dayan royal family, Feng Lin and others gathered in the carriage where Miao Zhengguo was located, listening to him yelling at Zhou Qing for being shameless and courageous.

"The illusion created by this hell illusion is really not enough to see. I broke it as soon as I came in! I was thinking about looking for someone else, but I ran into that damn Zhou Qing! He was not strong in mind, so he entered as soon as he came in. I was demonized, but I was just being tainted by evil spirits, and that I knew the location of other people, and that I wanted to save people with me, brought me here, and put me in a jail in a blink of an eye!"

Although Miao Zhengguo became a bandage weird person, he was alive and well. He was full of anger and looked at Yu Zhen with a strange expression. He didn't know whether to lament his good mentality or lament his nerves.

"He @#¥%... Feng Lao! Then Zhou Qing is very heartened! He shut me down to save himself, and he used me to do experiments by the way, trying to make Qingyuan that kid pretend to be him! You guys! Look at my skin, it is the result of his experiment!"

When the words came out, everyone was shocked. Yu Zhen frowned and asked, "You mean Zhou Qing wants to kill Qing Yuan and replace it?"

"Yes! He is already enchanted, but he still wants to become a Buddha! I don't know where he learned the ability to paint skin. Every time I see me, he looks different. The last time I saw him before I fell into a coma, he actually I made him look like Shi Qingyuan, and it was disgusting! If you didn't happen to rush to save me, I would be painted like him in a few days, and I would be thrown out as a substitute for the dead. What a bad luck!"

Painted skin.

Yu Zhen and Feng Lao looked at each other and realized how tricky things were. After pacifying Miao Zhengguo, they got together in another carriage tacitly.

"Qingyuan is very dangerous now." Bo Xiu said first.

"It's okay. I left a ghost attendant with Qingyuan to protect his safety." Yu Zhen comforted, glanced at the crowd, and said: "Zhou Qing can change his appearance. It is not easy to get him out. He is also better than we thought. The situation is more stable, the situation is chaotic, and he can still stand still."

Elder Feng was silent, and Feng Lin couldn't help but said, "Or let's just rob Qing Yuan directly. If we can't find a chance to attack him, there will be no way to harm him."

"No." Old Feng shook his head and said: "Take Qing Yuan over to protect him, but he is in a illusion. We can protect his life, but we can't protect his mind. So he robbed him rashly. It may deepen his immersion in the illusion."

Feng Lin frowned in distress, and said, "Then you can only start from the moment? But Zhou Qing has been hiding and spending time with us, and can paint skin, we can't do anything with him."

"No, even if the formation eye is uncovered, he cannot be killed temporarily. You must wait for Qingyuan to wake up. Now this formation is maintained by the formation eye. Once the formation eye is killed and the formation is broken before Qingyuan wakes up, then Qingyuan will most likely be trapped in the illusion for the rest of his life, and will never be able to wake up again." Bo Xiu shook his head and said with a solemn expression.

The situation suddenly became bitter. Yu Zhen looked at their expressions, moved a little, and said, "Actually... I still have a way. Do you remember the rebels I arranged before?"

Everyone looked at him together, with hope in their eyes.

Yu Zhen hesitated and said, "My method is relatively unfriendly to Qingyuan. As the saying goes, we break and stand. Although we disturbed the situation, we did not give Qingyuan any real stimulation. Maybe we can try this time. Of course, it also gave Zhou Qing a little excitement and forced him to act."

Old Feng frowned and asked, "What excitement?"

"For example..." Yu Zhen glanced at them again, and replied: "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and Zhou Qing sees'self' lose in Qingyuan's hands... and so on."

It’s better to understand the country’s destruction, but let Zhou Qing see "self" lose in Qingyuan's hands

Yu Zhen saw that they were just puzzled and did not reject the use of fierce methods. He was relieved and explained, "That's it. The key point of Qingyuan's illusion is love, but he hasn't liked anyone for a long time. It’s not easy to break, so I can only find him some excitement like home, country and world. After all, in Qingyuan’s heart, great love is definitely higher than personal affection. And Zhou Qing, the key to his enchantment is to want to succeed. Buddha and jealous of Qingyuan, then we simply let him taste what Qingyuan is not as good as Qingyuan. The appearance of the puppet can be changed. Zhou Qing can paint the skin, then we can also paint."

In short, he was going to make the leader of the rebel army look like Zhou Qing and send him to the door for Shi Qingyuan to defeat, to stimulate Zhou Qing who didn't know where he was hiding, and by the way, through this battle, to force Shi Qingyuan to wake up.

After listening to him, everyone was silent. For a long time, Old Feng nodded and said: "Just use this method, we don't have time to continue to delay."

The situation in the world suddenly began to be frantically turbulent. A group of rebels appeared at the border of the three countries. They robbed Dafeng’s envoys who had returned to the country and killed the last prince of Dafeng. , Annihilated the two countries, and finally assembled quickly, heading towards Dayan.

At the same time, the members of the Dayan imperial family began to have troubles, first the queen's two princesses died suddenly, then the queen, followed by several powerful princes, and finally even the emperor fell ill.

The atmosphere of terror was permeated, courtiers and palace officials fled and dispersed, the army was distracted, and the generals faced the aggressive rebels with different thoughts and dissatisfaction. Before the enemy was seen, the defeated elephants went out first.

Shi Qingyuan's expression became more serious day by day, and he hadn't touched the Buddhist scriptures for a long time. He stayed by the emperor's bed all day, personally protecting and waiting.

But what he feared most still happened. The emperor died too, after the rebels broke Dayan's first line of defense.

The two surviving princes fled overnight, and within half a month, the palace became an empty city, and no one was going to grab the throne. The identity of the royal family became the biggest reminder.

Shi Qingyuan stood on the high city wall, looking in the direction of Huguo Temple. For a long time, he withdrew his gaze. Without looking there, he said to the last loyal minister who stayed behind: "Count the soldiers and horses, this king... I will personally lead the way. The army goes out!"

The loyal minister looked at him worriedly, bent over and closed his eyes and sighed.

Three days later, Shi Qingyuan, in a uniform, led the army and the rebels to a standoff outside the capital. Yu Zhen and others stood on a high slope in the distance to watch the battle, watching the situation nervously.

"Can you really wake up Brother Qingyuan?" Feng Lin was a little nervous, his eyes swept back and forth on the soldiers behind Shi Qingyuan, trying to find Zhou Qing in disguise.

Yu Zhen was actually very nervous, worried that his method would not work well. He was afraid that Shi Qingyuan would not be able to break it in the end, but the expression on his face was stabilized. He replied, "Don't worry, with Qingyuan's character, I have experienced this. After the crisis of the country’s destruction and family destruction, one will definitely realize it."

And as long as there is an understanding, no matter whether it is related to love and robbery, the mood will definitely be turbulent. Once turbulent, he will have the opportunity to destroy the illusion, pull out the formation, and directly destroy the illusion, without giving it to the illusion. Chance to continue to drag Shi Qingyuan back!
