An Yang Zhuan (12)
"Your Majesty, general Xue killed too much, and those dead souls turned into evil spirits and pestered him. If these evil spirits were not removed, it would not only be bad for general Xue himself, but also affect the national destiny of Dayan and the safety of the people." Xu Zhenren's face was serious and his tone was urgent. "If you don't clear up the evil spirit as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe."
"General Xue is a meritorious official of Dayan. He fought back Nanman to keep the border of Dayan peaceful. He also allowed the people of Dayan and me to have peace of mind. I can't lose him in any case." The emperor also said with a serious and worried look, "is there any way for real people to crack the evil spirit, which can not only make general Xue have nothing to do, but also can clear the evil spirit and prevent disasters from coming."
Xue Chengyu stood there watching the opera, as if the serious atmosphere and the matter under discussion had nothing to do with him. He was waiting to see how the emperor and the real man would act.
"When I enter the palace today, I already have a way to clear the evil spirit. It's just that..." Xu Zhenren said with an expression of hesitation, "it's just that the method is too difficult..."
"At this time, no matter what method it is, as long as it is useful, it's up to Xu Zhenren to give it a try." Said the emperor.
"In order to remove the evil spirit from general Xue, there must be a person recognized by the gods to help him lead away the evil spirit, and then purify it." Xu Zhenren solemnly said the lines that Su Huai had prepared for him.
"Who is the man recognized by the gods?" Asked the emperor.
"A man who can cross the sea of fire without being hurt, and who can lead a hundred birds to fly around and fly, is a man recognized by the gods." Xu Zhenren said.
"*" how can a fetus cross the sea of fire without injury? How can we make the birds that don't speak can fly around The emperor frowned and said with some distress, "so, general Xue's evil spirit can't be eliminated?"
"Your Majesty, you might as well tell the world to find someone who can do these two things. But there are only three days left. After these three days, time will be too late. And this person must be a female, in order to get the approval of the gods to help general Xue clear evil spirit. "
"That's the only way." The emperor ordered that "pass on my will and publicize the world. Within three days, we must find someone who can help general Xue clear the evil spirit."
"I will go back to Weishan to prepare." Xu Zhenren saluted.
"Go ahead." Said the emperor.
King Annan and Xue Chengyu and his son watched another good play, but they still didn't say a word. They decided everything by the emperor's self-directed and self acting. The officials are waiting to see what the outcome of the opera will be like.
The next day, Xue Chengyu went out for a trip. After returning to the mansion, he saw Jing min sitting at the table fiddling with a pile of bottles and jars.
Xue Chengyu put a wooden box on the table, sat down and looked at the bottles and jars and said, "with these things, you can not be burned, but also attract birds?"
"Of course." Jing Min said with a positive tone, and continued to prepare those bottles without lifting his head.
"If you don't have a full grasp, don't do it. What if you get hurt?" Xue Chengyu was very worried and said, "let them play this play by themselves. My father and king have already arranged almost all of them, and they will be able to do it soon. Anyway, no matter how they play, the final result is the same."
"Of course, the results will be different. Now many people believe that you really have evil spirit. If you don't let the people feel that your evil spirit has been eliminated, it is likely to lay hidden dangers for the future." Jingmin said that "most ordinary people, as long as they can have a good life, will not really care about who is the emperor, and they are more convinced of heaven than the emperor, so I want the people to think that it is heaven's meaning that the Su family can not be emperor."
"In case you get burned..." Xue Chengyu can not care about anything, but only can not care about the safety of Jing min.
"Don't worry. I won't try my best to do something without full assurance." Jing min full of confidence said, "and I want to become this opportunity to teach Su Huai, otherwise I can't get this tone in my heart."
After Xue Chengyu was silent for a while, he put the wooden box in front of Jing min and said, "you can put this on when you get there."
"What?" Jing min looked at him suspiciously, and then opened the wooden box.
, from a wooden box, pulled out a mask like the same thing, but it felt like a real human skin.
"Is this a human skin mask?" What's the point?
"Yes, if you wear this, you don't have to blacken your face, and no one can recognize you." Xue said.
Jing min held the mask of human skin with two fingers, and said with disgusted eyes, "it can't be made of real human skin."
"Of course not." Xue Chengyu said helplessly, how could he give Jing min something made of real human skin.
"Oh." Jing min then put down her heart and began to study the human skin mask carefully. She got up and went to the mirror to try on it.
Jing min pastes the human skin mask on his face a little bit, and finds that he can't see his original appearance. Although he wears the mask, his appearance becomes more ordinary, but it's much better than making a big black spot on his face. Why didn't he think of using this thing? If you search the system, he can do it himself.Jing min went to sit on Xue Chengyu's leg and looked at him and said, "how about it? Can you recognize me? "
"Of course I can recognize it. Others certainly can't recognize it." Xue Chengyu holds Jing min's chin and says.
"Do you think you feel more about my original face or my present face?" Jing min deliberately dug a pit for him to jump.
"As long as it's you, I feel it no matter what it's like." Xue Chengyu put his hand between his legs and said, "I don't believe you touch it."
"Hooligan!" Jing min's face turned red, and he quickly pulled back his hand and was about to stand up. However, Xue Chengyu hugged him and couldn't get up. He struggled to say, "don't make trouble. I haven't finished my work yet."
Xue Chengyu hugged Jing min in his arms and gave him a kiss. When he had enough kisses and touched enough, he got up.
Three days later, on the fourth day, on the stone slab under the altar on the Weishan mountain, there was a road paved with burning coals, which was thirty meters long.
Yesterday, not only all the civil and military officials were present, but also a lot of people came, which was more lively than the three-year sacrifice to heaven.
After knowing the conditions of being recognized by the gods, many people are willing to risk their lives to try. If they can succeed, they can not only be Xue Chengyu, but also be recognized by the gods. Maybe their fate will change from then on.
So many females are being gathered together by Taoists, waiting to walk through the sea of fire. However, those people who originally held the mood of being free to go out felt the heat wave and the high flame from a distance, and they couldn't help being timid.
The Emperor didn't show up here today because he was ill, but both the prince and Su Huai came.
Su Huai came out of the sedan chair. He walked slowly to Xue Chengyu and looked at him with affectionate eyes. He said, "the son of a son is an indispensable General of Dayan. He killed so many southern soldiers for the sake of the peace of Dayan people, but he was haunted by evil spirit. As a great Yan Emperor Qing, I enjoy honor, but I have never done anything for the people. Today, I will walk through the sea of fire. If I can move the heaven, get the approval of the gods, and clear away the evil spirit for the son of heaven, I will not enjoy this honor as a great Yan Emperor
Su Huai said that he was deeply moved, but Xue Chengyu did not show any emotion and did not intend to answer him. The long silence made Su Huai feel embarrassed.
On one side, Xu Zhenren stepped forward to break the awkward atmosphere. "Emperor Qing can think well. Although emperor Qing is of noble status, after all, if a child is born without the approval of the gods, it is likely that she will be burned to death."
"You don't have to persuade me. I've made up my mind." After su Huai had finished speaking to Xu Zhenren, he looked at Xue Chengyu again. His eyes were full of firmness and deep feeling. "For the sake of the son of a son, I would be burned to death, and I would never regret it. If God's mercy, let me go through the sea of fire, it also shows that I and the son of heaven are predestined fate, I will try more. "
"If the emperor Qing really gets the approval of the gods, he can help the son of heaven clear the evil spirit, but the way to clear the evil spirit..." Xu Zhenren pauses and says, "I'm afraid this way will make emperor Qing innocent..."
"I don't even care about my life, but also care about what is innocent. As long as I can help the son of heaven, I will never regret it." Su Huai said shyly, "I think "The son of heaven is not a heartless man. Even if, even if there is no innocence, I am willing to."
Xu Zhenren looked at Su Huai and Xue Chengyu. Seeing that Su Huai was so affectionate and had such a beautiful face, Xue Chengyu was still unmoved. He had to continue to say, "since the emperor Qing's mind has been determined, try it. I still have two words to tell emperor Qing that when crossing the sea of fire, he must be devout and make you the most urgent Only when the wish is conveyed to heaven can we move the gods. "
"Thank you for your advice." After su Huai finished speaking, he went on the hot road.
When people saw that Su Huai wanted to go to the sea of fire in person, they were very surprised because Su Huaigui, as the emperor's minister, actually did such a thing that he would not die or be injured, which made them very surprised. Although they didn't understand why Su Huai wanted to do this, they were moved by the way Su Huai resolutely walked towards the road of fire.
Su Huai's purpose is to move Xue Chengyu, to win the support of the people, and to make Xue Chengyu have to marry him under multiple pressures.
"Wait!" Xue chengyu in Suhuai out of a distance, finally spoke.
Su Huai thinks that Xue Chengyu is finally soft hearted and can't bear to let him go on the road of fire. He looks back at Xue Chengyu with tearful eyes.
"Don't bother the emperor to take risks." Xue Chengyu said, "since it's to help me clear my breath, such a thing should naturally be done by my later Zhengjun."
Su Huai Leng Leng Leng said, "son of a son, what is this meaning?"
Xue Chengyu did not answer him, but went directly to the sedan chair surrounded by his guards and helped Jingmin out of it.
As soon as Su Huai saw the red dress and Xue Chengyu's behavior, he knew that it must be the person he had seen that night when he fell into the water. The day he was robbed of the limelight for no reason. His hatred of falling into the water surged to his heart. Today he wanted to rob him of the limelight. Although Su Huai hated him badly, he didn't worry much about being robbed of the limelight when he thought of what he was going to do today.Xue Chengyu helped Jing min to go to the front of Xu Zhenren and asked, "excuse me, if you get the approval of the gods, what can I do to help me clear the evil spirit?"
Xu Zhenren looked at Jing min with a veil, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xue Chengyu, "those who have been approved by the gods should have a good time in the Lingquan cave for two days, and then soak in the spring water for another day, so as to clear the evil spirit."
"Then, according to real people, it would be most appropriate for my betrother to do it." Xue said.
"This..." Xu Zhenren said, "there is nothing suitable or inappropriate. As long as you can cross the sea of fire and let birds sing around, it's just It's very dangerous to cross the sea of fire. "
"Are you afraid?" Xue Chengyu looks at Jing min and asks.
"I..." Jing min just said a word, he was interrupted by Su Huai.
