Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 49

……

Siming Xiaoxian entered the door first, Xu Zhen followed behind, retching all the way, two little scholars ran over to help him, so he didn't have his legs slumped outside the door.Si Ming Xiaoxian poked his head out after entering the door, and apologized: "Mr. Xu, my sword control skills have not improved much. When I went there and when I came back, I made Mr. Xu sad." Xu Zhen was pale. He said "It's okay, it's okay" with a straight face, sat down on the rattan chair in the yard, and took a rest in a place where the air is comfortable.

Yun Yao stepped out quickly, and said with a smile, "You're back? Go and call you Yunli Jun."

Yun Li had already been sitting on the window frame on the second floor, at this moment he jumped down stepping on the embodied power of the immortal, and asked the little immortal Siming, "Is the rumor true?"

Si Ming Xiaoxian asked in confusion: "Rumor?"

Yunli: "Jiahui killed Hu Xiaobei?"

Xu Zhen, who was hanging on the chair with a "dying" tone, was so frightened that he came back alive: "Mr. Yunli, when did you dream of this?" Yun Yao said: "This is not what he dreamed, Quan Xiuzhu It's all spreading." Hearing this, Xu Zhen smiled wryly and said, "Rumors are really faster than the wind, they surpassed the young master's sword, and they arrived first."

The Si Ming Xiaoxian settled down and said: "When Mr. Xu and I arrived in the capital, the whole capital was... as if dead. We asked around and found out that the Beijing officials who came to Xiuzhu a while ago were not tight-lipped , but there is nothing to say at all. The emperor summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs and sealed the palace gate; if the palace gate is kept locked, Mr. Xu and I both said to come back empty-handed."

Yun Yao: "So, you don't have 'empty hands'?"

Si Ming Xiaoxian took out his viewing mirror from his arms, and said at the beginning: "I recorded this."

In the viewing mirror, a door was slowly pushed open.

Yun Yao: "Where is this?"

Siming Xiaoxian: "Imperial Palace."

This place should be a side gate of the palace.Compared with other magnificent palace gates, this gate appears to be lacking in momentum.However, if you look closely, there is a five-clawed flying dragon carved with very shallow lines on the door. The details of the workmanship do indeed show the royal standard from the side.

All the doors are opened, and a garden of autumn flowers is the first to come into view; in the venue that looks like a garden, a dragon seat is placed in the center.

There was an uproar in the mirror, and it sounded like the identities of the people surrounding Xiaoxian Si Ming were complex, some were composing in the classroom, performing in the building, and some were cutting their flesh with a knife in the city, making people unpredictable at the moment What kind of occasion is it.Si Ming Xiaoxian said: "The palace sent a letter the day before, saying that the north gate will be opened the next day, and everyone in the city can come and see it."

Xu Zhen's complexion improved a bit, and he came over to surround Si Ming Xiaoxian with Yun Yao and Yun Li.

Suddenly, the music sounded, and gradually there were figures in the mirror.

The leader is not someone else, but Dong Di who accidentally got acquainted with Yunjue.Dong Di was followed by the deputy minister of the Bu government and others. He walked quickly at the front, with a servant walking in small steps beside him.The servant bowed his body and lowered his head, dragging a piece of cloth with both hands, and raised it above his head.

Dong Di knew the test papers before, but he lost the competition both openly and secretly.Now that the scholars from various states are arguing more and more about the mistakes in the test papers, Hu Xiaopei must feel uncomfortable, and Dong Di's vitality will naturally come back.

The Mirror of Observation successfully attracted the Xiaoxians who were born to join in the fun, and all the Xiaoxians gathered around, their eyes fixed on each other, most of them were waiting for Jiahui and Hu Xiaobei to come out.

However, before the emperor and prime minister showed up, Dong Di began to preside over the bewildering gathering.

Seeing that most of the crowd came here for the dignity of the imperial palace, even though they only saw a corner of the imperial city at this time, they were generally satisfied, and did not pay much attention to what Dong Di said.After everyone's curiosity about the flower garden and dragon chair in the palace passed, Dong Di took the cloth from the servant, opened it, and read: "The emperor was deeply saddened by the September examination, and he blamed himself even more. Not safe. All the ministers in the DPRK thought that the order of a country should not be disordered, so they carried it out as usual in the spring of the next year; in order to comfort the scholars from all states, a special gathering was made to send a message to the world."

The text on the cloth is a little short, but Jiahui's meaning is probably there.

Everyone thought that the news from the Chief Executive Office ended here, but Dong Di continued: "When reviewing the papers, the emperor was drunk, and the prime minister did not take responsibility for his mistakes. Hu Xiao felt sorry for Mr. Hu's self-examination and guilt, and the emperor thought about Mr. Hu He did his best for the late emperor wholeheartedly, he was not questioned, he was given land to fill the state, and he was allowed to resign from office."

After listening, Yunyao crossed her arms and smiled, "Jiahui's appearance is really well done."

For Jiahui, letting Hu Xiaobei retire from the government and go to Chongzhou for retirement is no different from beheading him.His "square" and the former emperor's "square" have been completely separated since then.

In the bronze mirror, silence lasted for a long time.

Everyone can still weigh the weight of the one rule.

In the mirror, Dong Di and all the government officials below suddenly folded their hands, bent sideways and bowed.At the same time, there was a rustling sound of cloth rubbing, and everyone outside the palace knelt down in the direction Dong Di was facing.For a time, the sound of long live was like a wave.

Jiahui entered the screen.

Then the Siming Xiaoxians were stunned.

Beside Jiahui was a young man who was out of dust.The young man's face is as calm as water, and he walks with his sleeves folded, looking like an exiled fairy against the background of the garden.The Three Realms are vast, but only one person's name can match the person in this painting.The Siming Immortals looked at Yunli subconsciously, and consciously stepped aside, setting aside an open space in front of the viewing mirror.Yunyao said beside Yunli: "Here, your baby is still alive and well."

Yun Li coughed, "Uh, why is he here?"

Yun Yao: "Then where do you want him to be?"

Xu Zhen said in a low voice: "Mr. Yunyao, Mr. Yunli, and Mr. Yuchi."

Inside the bronze mirror, Yuchi Ling strode out, but there was still a person walking in front of him.The person in front of him, Yun Yao, Xu Zhen, and Si Ming Xiaoxian didn't recognize him, but Yun Li remembered that face clearly.

Nie Cang.

Xu Zhen introduced: "The one in front of Mr. Yuchi is Xia Guoshi, surnamed Mie, surnamed Cang... The position of a national teacher has always been passed down from teacher to teacher. After the old master passed away, this young Mr. Nie took over. Someone said The national teacher also has a senior brother, but his senior brother seems to have touched some taboo of his school, and now he is still running around."

The Siming Xiaoxian who came back from the capital trembled.

The schedule was in a hurry before, and he didn't have time to think about it. At this moment, he suddenly connected Nie Qiu, who he met during his trip to Huzhou, with the senior brother Xu Zhen mentioned.

Yun Li glanced at him, motioning him to stop talking.

Yun Li frowned deeply, Yun Yao only thought that he was thinking about the Yuchi Mansion.However, there is a haze on Yun Li's face, one is because he remembered the relationship between Yuchi's mansion and Su Tong's falling off the cliff, the other is because he remembered that Su Qiuguang was actually the victim of Nie Cang... the third is because he saw Yuchi Linghe Nie Cang stood together.

And the fourth question: Why didn't Su Tong go back to Xiuzhu?In what capacity is he standing next to Jiahui?

Just thinking about it, a little fairy said: "Huh? Gone? Gone?"

In the mirror, Jiahui sat down on the dragon chair in the center, besides Nie Cang, Yuchi Ling, Su Tong and Dong Di who arrived first, there were also people from the Supervision Office, Rongwei Mansion Headquarters and others around.Not long after, ministers at all levels of the DPRK and China arrived.But just a second before the Siming Xiaoxian spoke, the emperor and his subjects, who had not yet sat down or stood still, stepped out of the screen one after another.

Dong Di was the first to arrive and the last to leave.

Yunli understood that Dong Di's announcement was the main part of the gathering, and the words on the cloth were conveyed by the voice of the cloth government's main department, and confirmed by Jiahui's appearance, the so-called grand palace event that all believers in the city can participate in came to an end up.The emperor and a group of important ministers are "seals" large and small. There is no need to speak about the seals, and they leave after they are stamped.

"Huh? Where's Mr. Xu?"

The voice belonged to Xiaoxian Siming in the mirror.

It turned out that Si Ming Xiaoxian got lost with Xu Zhen in the sea of ​​people, and the mirror did not get the master's order to "take it back", so it faithfully recorded the scene of Si Ming Xiaoxian looking for Xu Zhen in a daze.Si Ming Xiaoxian walked around in a circle, but he didn't see Xu Zhen, and because the palace officials urged everyone to leave, he picked the most crowded road and walked down.

Yunyao: "Looking at your luck, it doesn't seem like you can find someone. Where did you go?"

Si Ming Xiaoxian blushed and said, "Go to the market."

Si Ming Xiaoxian in the mirror was walking through the crowd, his anxious expression was too obvious, a kind old lady came over and asked him what happened.Siming Xiaoxiandao was lost with a friend, the mother-in-law asked him where he lost it, and replied that the north gate of the palace.

The mother-in-law said with a smile: "Young master must have been very peaceful when he was young, and he was never lost. But every mother would tell the baby, don't run around if you get lost, just wait where you are."

Xiaoxian Siming scratched his head and said, "Yes, yes", thanked the old man, and hurried back.Surprisingly, he knew in his heart that he was going to follow the way he came from, to the north gate of the palace, but he went astray, getting more and more wrong.He asked pedestrians for directions, and people gave him directions, but he had no sense of direction and was still dizzy.

Fortunately, he looked up and saw the eaves of the north gate, Xiao Si Ming positioned it with a familiar corner, and finally returned to the place he came from after groping.

Fortunately, Xu Zhen did not leave, and was patiently looking at the carvings on the wall of the North Gate Palace.Seeing Xiaoxian Siming rushing over sweating profusely, Xu Zhen was still interested in commenting on the painting: "Young master, come and have a look, the coloring of this painting is pretty good. If Yunjue hangs a few like this, it will definitely look good."

Anyway, after finding it, Siming Xiaoxian also relaxed, and followed Xu Zhen's finger to look at the painting.Bending down to look at it for a while, he raised his head and said: "These paintings are all the interior scenes of the palace... The outside of Yunjue is made of bamboo and the inside is made of wood. The colors are not so rich, and the finished paintings may not be beautiful to hang."

Xu Zhen: "The Zunmen is the treasure of the immortal family. The young master traced some crystal and glazed ornaments from memory, aren't they also colorful?"

Xiaoxian Siming prevaricated, and Xu Zhen didn't take it too seriously, the two said a few more casual words, and then went back to the inn to rest.

A hand stretched out and put the viewing mirror back "unobtrusively".

Yun Yao knocked on the head of Xiaoxian Si Ming: "Fortunately, I let Xu Zhen go with me, otherwise we will wait in Yunjue for a few years, and we don't know which way you came back." Xiaoxian Si Ming His face was flushed, and he raised his hand and pinched his nose.

Yun Yao chased away the little fairies, and said to Yun Li, "Don't worry?"

Yunli: "..."

Yun Yao: "Forget it... Mr. Yunli, I remember you said that the viewing mirror is gone, but is it back now?"

Yun Li shook his head.

Yun Yao: "Isn't Mu Zhejun planning to retire as a Youxian? Mirrors are useless to her. Tell your master that she will definitely give you her mirror. If Mu Zhejun wants to take the mirror as a souvenir, you can Go to the Nuoyin Pavilion, for those of us who have resigned from the Siming Immortal Realm, all the viewing mirrors returned should have been stored in the Nuoyin Pavilion by Lord Mu Zhe."

Yunli: "..."

Yun Yao said: "If all the mirrors in Nuoyin Pavilion are given to the newly promoted fairy, it's not difficult, just go up and make another side, but it's just a matter of a few pieces of fairy silver. As for this side... Anyway, it falls into the hands of ordinary people It is no different from an ordinary bronze mirror, if you lose it, you lose it." She paused, and continued: "And, Mr. Yunli, in my opinion, it is useless for you to hold a mirror now."

Yun Li smiled wryly: "Jun Yao also laughed at me for hitting the south wall?"

Yun Yao: "South Wall? Well, what did Mu Zhejun say?"

Yun Li: "Master said."

Yunyao raised her cheeks and put her elbows on the table: "A man who is in command, if you don't come down to see what you can do. Like me, once you get down, you don't want to go back. On the top, the books are written for immortals and gods Read it, now write a... write a notebook for yourself, what's wrong?"

Yunli: "I didn't write it for myself... I can't write anything."

Yun Yao raised her eyebrows: "Then don't write. One point for joy, one point for sadness, one point for greed, anger, ignorance and resentment, and one point for plain water... A person will still live like this if he does not rehearse the show. You You don’t need to write it, just read it by the side. Let go, people’s sorrows, joys and infatuations often fall into clichés, and immortals and gods don’t like to read it, so the commanders racked their brains to add drama to the book.”

Yunli: "..."

Yun Yao: "Mr. Yunli."

"Ok?"

Yunyao chuckled: "I also liked the people in my book... Many commanders will probably experience this. When will you go back to Nuoyin Pavilion and ask Mu Zhejun, maybe she will come down when she is a hundred years old I’ve visited, but I’ve never mentioned it. Don’t be too nervous, the gods will live for thousands of years, and gradually they will forget all the people and things that they can’t let go of now.”

Yun Li suddenly stood up.

Yun Yao: "Where are you going?"

Yun Li stood still, feeling that he really should go out for a walk, but he didn't have a clear instruction in his head, so he couldn't say where he wanted to go.He stood, and Yun Yao sat with him and stopped talking.

Not long after standing still, Xu Zhen ran in; seeing his helpless expression after he wanted to speak, Yun Yao and Yun Li roughly guessed that someone had come.Sure enough, before Xu Zhen opened his mouth, a female voice with strong penetrating power resounded throughout Yun Jue: "Master Yun, Mr. Yun, come out soon... Where are you Mr. Yun, I want to see you Mr. Yun!"

Yun Li went out with his head split in two and asked, "What's wrong?"

Meizi dragged Yanshan and walked quickly, gasped for a while, and said, "Young Master Yun...Young Master Yun, listen to me."

Yanshan on the side took a breath, and seemed to want to get straight to the point, but was blocked by his wife's palm symbolizing "tactfulness".Yun Li stared at Mei Zi's eyes, and had to wait patiently for her to recover.Judging from their expressions, both Meizi and Yanshan looked anxious, but Meizi spoke procrastinatingly, and Yunli couldn't see through the other party's carelessness for a while.

After a long time, Mei Zi said: "Neighbors should be like relatives, and they should not shirk in everything, right?"

Yun Li didn't have time to think about whether he was right, so he could only say: "Uh, yes."

Mei Zi said: "But everyone is no better than Xiaojia. Xiaojia's people want to survive. There are many things that you can't do your best, right? Even if you try your best, Xiaojia's strength is limited after all. If you take care of others by yourself, you may not be able to do things well." Deal with it, right?"

Yunli: "...Yes."

Meizi grabbed Yunli as if seeing her own younger brother: "Young Master Yun, you are Xiuzhu's savior, saving more people is not a problem, right..."

Yun Li interrupted her: "Uncle Cheng, grandma Cheng?"

Meizi choked.

Yan Shan hurriedly said: "Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng are not well. The neighbors pooled money to hire a doctor, but they couldn't diagnose the problem. Everyone said that the time for those two is probably up. We thought... we wanted Yun Jue to give some money to the old man's Things are going well."

Mei Zi poohed, "Spoken! Mr. Yun is a disciple of the Immortal Family, so he must have an idea to heal Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng."

Xu Zhen was quick to do things, and when Mei Zi was speaking, he had already prepared the carriage.

Just listening to Yanshan and Meizi's description, Yunli didn't know which of the doctors, witches and ghosts, should take care of the old couple's symptoms. Thinking that Yunyao knew more about mortal herbs than himself, Yunli turned back and wanted to call Yunyao.Without waiting for anyone to invite, Yunyao had already picked up some herbs, packed them and tied them on her wrist and came out.

When the crowd arrived, there were many people around the bed of Mrs. Cheng and his wife, all of whom had been helped by the elderly during the plague.

The old Cheng and his wife were sick at the same time, but the faces of the two old people were peaceful, without the slightest expression of pain, and they didn't seem to be sick at all.

Yunyao went up to make a diagnosis, and she came to the same conclusion as the doctors: the old Cheng and his wife are in good health.Asked what the old man felt uncomfortable, the old man shook his head and said no, only that the two had the same dream the night before, and dreamed that a fairy called them on the road.Cheng babbled about the big and small things she had experienced in this life, except for Mr. Cheng who responded to him from time to time, no one present could hear what she said clearly.

Cheng stood up and sat up, looked around with a smile, and finally spoke clearly: "I dreamed about Qi'er's father."

When Su Qiuguang was mentioned, the air suddenly became solemn.

Cheng said: "Qiu Guang said that he didn't blame everyone, but also thanked everyone for taking care of the beggar. Everyone can feel at ease at night."

Someone said: "By the way, since Su Tong entered Beijing, there has been no news of him."

The smile on Cheng's face became wider: "Qiu Guang said that he went to see Qi'er, and saw that Qi'er became a high-ranking official in the capital, and stayed with the emperor to work."

In this situation, everyone is sad and happy.

Yun Li thought, according to Nie Cang's torment, whether Su Qiuguang's soul can be kept is still doubtful, but Cheng actually said that Su Qiuguang gave her a dream.Also, if Su Qiuguang's soul is still there, and he really came to dream, why didn't he tell everyone what happened at that time?Yunli only thinks that Cheng's dream is a fiction, and has nothing to do with Su Tong's father.As for the festival of being an official in the capital, it may be the old Cheng couple's own expectations for Su Tong, and it doesn't matter whether it is true or not.

Cheng sighed: "We may not be able to wait for the beggar to come back."
