Chapter 4 Reviving the Soul from the Dead
Qingye Cave Heaven, Ming Dynasty Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor Zhenren has an urgent report to meet Your Majesty!" Liu Zhi, the eunuch in charge of the seal in the East Factory, came to report softly.
"Prince!"
Emperor Ming Zhu Wanli sat cross-legged on a white jade cushion, his eyes closed slightly, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air before he opened his mouth.
"The Xuan Qintian Supervisor Wang Zhenren met with him!"
With shouts, a tall figure stepped into the Feixian Temple built by the emperor for himself.
"My minister, Wang Shouzheng, bowed to Your Majesty!"
"Forgive!" Zhu Wanli opened his eyes and said through the curtain, "What's the point of my dear? I have to report it overnight! Have you forgotten that these days are the key to my practice!"
"Your Majesty forgives the crime. This matter is of great importance. I have to come and report it! You also ask Your Majesty to hold back your left and right!" Wang Shouzheng said.
"Oh? Is this necessary?" Zhu Wanli's expression was instantly solemn!
"Yes!" Wang Shouzheng bowed again.
"Everyone retreats, no one is allowed to approach within a hundred steps!"
Zhu Wanli gave an order, and instantly, countless guards retreated openly and secretly, leaving only Liu Zhi. Wang Shouzheng knew that Liu Zhi was the absolute confidant who served the emperor since he was a child, but he did not ask him to avoid it. He said, "Your Majesty, I was just watching the stars in Sitiantai. I suddenly found a meteor emerging out of thin air, rushing towards the Emperor Star. The impact of the Emperor Star was shaking and the light was dim. After many calculations, I and all the fellow Taoists found that the result was,..."
"What is it?" Zhu Wanli's face turned completely dark.
"The prince of this prime minister was assassinated, and the person who was assassinated was the closest person around His Majesty!" After Wang Shouzheng paused, he said solemnly.
"You can calculate accurately?" Liu Zhiyan asked.
"If it's true, how dare I report it!" Wang Shouzheng did not hesitate at all.
"It seems that it is really difficult to become an immortal. Finally, the road to heaven has opened, but man-made disasters have occurred again!" Zhu Wanli sighed, and his eyes burst into cold light, as if it were a knife.
"Liu Zhi!"
"exist!"
"You can transfer people from outside and wash the imperial city! As long as there is suspicion, you will clean it up, even if it is a concubine or a nobleman, it is no exception!"
"yes!"
That night, wailing everywhere, and the entire palace was shrouded in blood.
...
Mass burials outside Beijing.
In the night, a team of black-clad men came with dozens of big trucks. The blood flowed on the truck, and it was full of corpses. These corpses were old and young, the old were fifty or sixty years old, with wrinkles on their faces, and the few were seven or eight years old. These people had everything, such as knife and axe, rope and poisoned wine, but one thing was the same. That was their identity - eunuchs.
"dig!"
At the command of the general, more than a hundred soldiers moved together, and in a blink of an eye, a large pit several feet deep was dug out. Then, without waiting for instructions, a cart of bodies were poured into it, piled up like a mountain. The soldiers buried it for a while and then quietly left.
As soon as the soldiers left, a wisp of blue smoke floated down from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a human form. This blue smoke was no one else, but Du Xuan who came across the border.
"What is this world? Even being a eunuch is so difficult! Am I still the protagonist?" Du Xuan couldn't help complaining.
Originally, Du Xuan was planning to find a new eunuch who died soon to resurrect the soul. This not only saves a process, but also makes it easy to get into the palace. But now it is impossible. Judging from the situation in front of him, you can tell that the palace has just completed a major purge, and the review at this time is definitely the most stringent and there are almost no loopholes. Not to mention the identities of these dead eunuchs, even if they died before, it is absolutely impossible to return to the palace.
"What are you anxious about? It's not that you can't be a eunuch, but you can't be a ready-made eunuch!" Mr. Bu didn't expect Du Xuan's luck to be so bad, and he looked a little gloating.
Du Xuan was speechless when he heard this. He knew that his soul body was very fragile and did not waste much time. He immediately turned into blue smoke and floated towards other mass graves.
"Stop! Go to that forest." Halfway through, Old Bu suddenly spoke.
Du Xuan knew that Mr. Bu must have noticed something, so he immediately fell down. In the air, he heard the sound of ding-and-ding weapons fighting.
"You rich hawk, please take me to the eight swords of the mountain!"
A big man with a curly beard held a thick-backed machete in his hand, and made great strides to attack, with a knife-like chain, almost like a silver waterfall, slashing down wildly.
Ding Ding Ding, as dense as a sudden rain!
The big man only cut six swords, and the long sword in his opponent's hand broke and broke. The sword light came from top to bottom, instantly splitting it in half, and blood rain sprinkled.
Du Xuan did not pay too much attention to the two people who fought, because after countless martial arts films, the scenes of these two people really couldn't attract his interest. Moreover, there were things that attracted him more.
It was a corpse. It looked like a scholar, but it was covered in bruises and was torn clothes, but its body still had warmth. It was obviously not long since its death. Such a corpse was the best carrier for the corpse-returning technique, and it could maximize the potential to excavate the corpse.
Although Du Xuan was eager to resurrect, he had to wait for the two men to fight to have a result. After all, he did not understand the situation. If he had just recovered and was killed by the winner, it would be more than worth the loss.
The bearded man killed his opponent and immediately came to the corpse that Du Xuan was interested in, and looked at his nostrils. He found that he was not breathing, and sighed, "It's a pity that he was still one step slower."
After hearing this, Du Xuan's heart flashed with inspiration. He was just in need of understanding the martial arts situation in this world. The man in front of him was obviously a righteous knight, and he happened to enter the world and understand the world.
With this in mind, Du Xuan made a quick decision and the true talisman of the corpse-returning magic that was exchanged for the true talisman of the Great Way of Resurrection was activated. Invisible power swept across his body, turning into an invisible ray of light and sank into the ancestral orifice between the corpse's eyebrows.
Zhang Zongyuan, a big bearded man, had just gotten up and was about to dig a pit to bury the scholar's body when he suddenly found that the scholar's body had moved, and was shocked at that time.
"I'm not dead yet!" Zhang Zongyuan was delighted, quickly stepped forward and helped him up, took out a porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill and fed it in.
After successfully resurrecting the soul with a corpse, Du Xuan learned about the current situation through the remaining memories of his body. The corpse he borrowed was named Fang Zheng, who was seventeen years old, and was a scholar. Although his parents died, they left him a considerable family business, and a beautiful child bride Qiao Qiao.
Fang Zheng and Qiao Qiao had a good relationship and just waited for the imperial examination to get married. However, during the day, Qiao Qiao was taken aback by the son of the Xinlehou family of the country's uncle, and forced to rob him. He was a scholar, although weak, but he was not sued and sued the capital yamen with a complaint. But the result was that Qiao Qiao did not come back, and the thug from the Xinlehou family came and took him into the forest, which was very tortured.
Zhang Zongyuan happened to come out of the capital to carry out a mission. He naturally couldn't bear it when he saw this scene. Therefore, he stood up and saved him with justice.
