Chapter 212 Eater
Since the Shangqing mentioned the evil surgery that made Xindan, the emperor felt that his mind was not right, and temporarily locked him in the palace.
Shangqing was a monk, out of the realm of the secular, and he did not violate the secular laws. The emperor originally planned to send people to immeasurable views in a few days, and let the judges decide.
But this time, the situation is different, the emperor has murdered the Shangqing.
"Zhao Rang." The emperor cleared his throat and commanded with dignity, "Bring Qing."
Zhao Rang received the emperor's verbal edict and withdrew.
Waiting is also waiting, Gu Yanfei threw the motionless Gu worm into the box where the incense had been placed before, sealed the lid, and said to An Le, "Princess An Le, I will bleed you and detoxify you."
After paused, she added: "It doesn't hurt this time."
"Yeah." An Le nodded vigorously, a light blush appeared on her white cheeks.
Gu Yanfei forced the spiritual power in his body to the tip of the needle, and stabbed a needle on each of the five fingers of An Le's left hand. The movement was so fast that An Le's eyes couldn't even see clearly.
The little girl's eyes widened in amazement, but with a flash, she saw a drop of blood dripping from the five fingertips of her left hand. in stark contrast.
The emperor on the side looked at his daughter with great distress, and the corners of his eyes became more sour and redder.
If it wasn't for the inappropriate occasion, he really wanted to hold his daughter in his arms, pat her on the back and call out to her.
Xiao Anle was unaware of the horror, and looked at Gu Yanfei with more adoring eyes.
Sister is really amazing. She can throw pots, whip whips, turn into butterflies, and catch bugs... Even better than the emperor!
The little girl's black and white eyes were as clean and pure as black and white chess pieces, shining brightly.
Chu Yi stood silently on the side, his deep eyes fixed on Jing Zhaoyin who had been standing silently for a long time.
The cold wind blew a few strands of black hair, which scattered on his handsome cheeks, forming a light shadow half-covered.
After coming here, Jing Zhaoyin stood there quietly, no panic, no fear on his face, very calm, as if waiting for something.
Jingzhao Yin Xiao Zhen was born in the Xiao clan in Lanling, Qingzhou, and is the son of an aristocratic family.
Not only Jingzhao Yin, but now the officials in important positions in this court are mostly sons of aristocratic families.
It is precisely because of this that they dare to be so unscrupulous.
For their own selfishness, they easily used the princess' life as a bargaining chip.
The shadows in Chu Yi's eyes are getting deeper and deeper, the deep ink color is like the boundless dark night without the stars and the moon, and the red moles at the end of his eyes are like blood.
It was as if the beast sealed in his body was suddenly awakened, and a dangerous aura filled his body silently.
"Chu Yi."
A white shadow flashed in front of him, with a soft and plain white veil in his hand, and a three-flowered cat curled up in a ball was embroidered on the corner of the veil.
"Clean up the bandages." Gu Yanfei pointed to the black blood on An Le's fingertips, signaling Chu Yi to hurry up to work.
Chu Yi squeezed the handkerchief and stared straight at the girl in front of him.
Suddenly, as if the soul was returning to its place, the haze in the bottom of his eyes quickly dissipated, and his expression gradually softened.
"Hmm." Chu Yi replied softly, with a small arc at the corner of his eyes.
He bowed slightly, held the handkerchief and carefully wiped the black blood from An Le's fingertips, his movements were incredibly gentle.
Without any words, everyone can see how the eldest prince cares for his sister.
No matter how noble the status of this pair of brothers and sisters, the brother-sister relationship between them cannot be faked.
And the Emperor…
The eyes of many people also turned to the emperor standing by the wheelchair.
When the emperor stepped down from the high tower, they had a sense of reality.
is said to be the most ruthless imperial family, but in fact it is not absolute.
The emperor is not only an emperor who is aloof and unreachable, but also a father.
When her daughter is ill, the emperor will worry; if her daughter is murdered, the emperor will also regret it.
Emperor, like their common people, are also mortals with flesh and blood.
In this complex mood, an old Taoist wearing a blue Taoist robe with gray hair was escorted by seven or eight tall and mighty imperial soldiers.
Lao Dao's robe is wrinkled, and there are several messy strands of hair scattered from the bun. The whole person is as thin as a skinny mummy. Those deep-set eyes can't help but think of the white skeleton.
When the wind blew, the large Taoist robe was empty, as if it was directly draped on the skeleton.
If it weren't for the blue sky and daylight at the moment, many people would be afraid that they would think they had seen a ghost.
Everyone present was startled, and before they could react, they heard the white-faced and beardless **** in front of the emperor say:
"Your Majesty, the Shangqing brought it here."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue that stunned everyone present.
"This is the supernatant?!"
I don't know who shouted in shock from the crowd.
Everyone's horrified eyes turned to the green-robed old Taoist again, with a deep shock in their expressions.
Immeasurable Temple is the largest and most famous Taoist temple in the capital. Shangqing Zhenren is known as an immortal in Beijing and is fascinated by believers. Many people present have seen Shangqing Zhenren before.
Some people looked at Shangqing from a distance or near when they went to Boundless to see incense and listen to sutras; some people saw Shangqing from a distance when he went to practice in other homes; Everyone who has visited said that Shangqing was an immortal, immortal-like character.
However, this Taoist priest with a gloomy appearance and a gloomy temperament in front of him is not an immortal, and it is almost the same as an evil spirit clothed in human skin!
Shangqing, under the **** of the few forbidden soldiers, walked forward leisurely, as if he was just here for a visit.
After being captured by the emperor yesterday, Shangqing was neither afraid nor panicked. He meditated in the palace all night last night, and only regarded the right of house arrest as a practice.
He was sure that the emperor would not do anything to him!
In those days, the real Tiangang saved the life of Emperor Taizu many times, and even helped him build this great Jingjiang Mountain.
After Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he enshrined the real person Tiangang as the national teacher, and the immeasurable view also had a detached position in Dajing, which was his backing.
What's more, the emperor wanted to save the eldest princess, and he just suggested a solution at the emperor's request.
This technique is like a sword. There is no right or wrong. It is up to the emperor to decide whether to use it or not.
What was he guilty of?
At most, he will be escorted back to the Infinite View in a few days, and the viewer will be punished a little or two.
Shangqing walked in the direction of the emperor and Anle without any hassle, his clothes fluttering like a fairy.
When he approached, an old woman in the crowd stared at his face for a while, then pointed at Shangqing excitedly and shouted:
"This Taoist priest is indeed Shang Qing. I remember that there was a mole on the forehead of Shang Qing."
Immediately after, other people also echoed, pointing out some characteristics of Shang Qing, such as height, such as a hump nose, such as curved tail fingers and so on.
As more and more people identified, the people were all convinced that the terrifying Taoist priest in front of him was really the Supreme Qing.
"How could the real person of Shangqing become such a ghost?" Someone asked in a loud voice.
The crowd was silent, the people looked at each other, no one could answer this question.
Gu Yanfei also heard the voices from the crowd, she tutted secretly in her heart, and brushed a few strands of broken hair behind her ears.
Shangqing casually glanced around while walking forward. When his eyes swept across Gu Yanfei, his originally expressionless face instantly sank, his eyes were as cruel as an owl, and they slashed Gu Yanfei's cheek like a knife.
"It's you!"
Shangqing said word by word, he couldn't see the emperor at all, he couldn't see Chu Yi, and he couldn't see anyone else, only Gu Yanfei was in his eyes.
It seems that only Gu Yanfei is worth his attention here, and the others are just insignificant ants.
"Shangqing, do you recognize this?"
Gu Yanfei picked up the wooden box, opened the lid, and exposed the hideous-looking hundred-legged blood gu in the box, and asked straight to the ground.
"..." Shang Qing's eyes widened in surprise, his thin face twisted like a ghost.
This is blood goo!
How can the blood gu be taken out? !
Shangqing's original calmness disappeared in an instant, like falling into an ice cellar.
After the Murong family incident, Shangqing repeated the review and carefully pondered the whole thing:
Gu Yanfei can tear off the talisman paper of the Murong family, Gu Yanfei can see through the technique of Chongxi borrowing luck, Gu Yanfei can see that his Taoism has been hindered in recent years...
When she spoke that day, she was logically rigorous and methodical. It was not like someone pointed out in advance. All the clues pointed to one point. Gu Yanfei was a person with a very high morality.
This understanding, not only did not relieve Shangqing, but made him even more confused: a person who has attained the Tao should shun the world to cultivate and use the right path. Why bother with the mundane? !
"Do you recognize this?" Gu Yanfei asked again, a frosty smile on the corner of his lips.
Her eyes are transparent, as deep as the vast starry sky, and she understands everything in her heart.
Shangqing once again felt the feeling of being suppressed by Gu Yanfei when he was in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion last year, the humble feeling of being overlooked, the unattainable sense of distance.
He couldn't help but looked away, but saw that the eyes and expressions of the people around him had changed.
They used to look at him with admiration, but now they look at him with disgust, contempt, disdain, contempt... Every single look seems to have thorns.
Shangqing's heart was tight, and it was conceivable that the development of things had exceeded his expectations.
Just now, Zhao Rang brought someone to **** him out of the palace, and Shangqing thought he was going to be sent back to Boundless View. Now he finally understands, this matter can’t be let go lightly.
But even so, Shangqing did not show a hint of timidity.
He stood up with his head held high, his concentration was fixed, he looked directly into Gu Yanfei's eyes, and raised his voice to deny: "I don't know."
Zhao Rang glanced at the emperor's ugly face, and scolded: "Shangqing, you have tricked the eldest princess. Now the evidence is conclusive, you dare to deny it!"
"Pindao wronged!" Shangqing didn't salutation, he just stood there with his hands down, defending himself calmly, "Pindao never scolded Her Royal Highness the princess."
"The hospital and the palace all know that the poor Daoist saved the eldest princess from critical illness several times in the past five years, but never asked the emperor for glory and wealth."
"The eldest princess is seriously ill this time. Pindao proposed to use Xindan to help him, but he was also afraid that the emperor would blame him for being incompetent. In the end, it's up to the emperor to do it or not."
"Pindao has a clear conscience."
Shangqing's remarks sounded high-sounding, he left himself clean, and his waist was straight.
Since you want to be a benevolent ruler today, it is inevitable that your hands and feet will be tied up. If this was the Taizu Emperor who was decisive in killing, he would not have the opportunity to stand here and defend himself.
"Why nonsense." Gu Yanfei took a step closer to Shangqing, and said lightly, "This Gu will recognize the master, it doesn't matter whether you recognize it or not."
The fingers of her right hand tapped the wooden box lightly.
In the box, the blood Gu that was pretending to be dead suddenly fluttered its wings and flew out of the box quickly, flying in the direction of Shangqing, quickly turning into a red shadow.
However, Gu Yanfei shot faster than that Gu worm, like electricity like the wind, both fast and ruthless, so he just pinched the tentacles of the blood Gu accurately between his fingers.
The scarlet blood gu is only two inches away from the tip of Shangqing's nose, the blood gu's wings are still buzzing and vibrating, but Shangqing is motionless, neither panic nor uneasy.
Shangqing looked at Gu Yanfei with a calm expression, and said calmly:
"I come from the immeasurable view, and the Taoist sect is orthodox, so how can I know witchcraft and sorcery! Gu Er girl, this is empty talk, so don't blame innocent people."
When Shangqing said these words, he was quite certain, and his eyes and expressions did not waver in the slightest.
This Gu is indeed not from him.
Even if the worm recognized the master, it would not be able to attack him.
Gu Yanfei stared at Shang Qing for a while, then took back the right hand holding the Gu worm, and said with a pity and helplessness: "It's not yours..."
After she finished speaking, there was a talisman between the fingers of her left hand, and she said loudly: "This is the talisman of Yanyang, which burns the evil things in the world and will never die."
She slapped the Yanyang Talisman on the blood gu, and the next moment, the talisman paper spontaneously ignited, and a cluster of bright yellow flames ignited the blood gu's tail.
"Gu... it's burning!" Someone in the crowd screamed.
The flame quickly burned up along the worm's body, and the blood gu was struggling and twisting in the flames, but it was in vain.
Gu Yanfei chuckled slyly, pinched the tentacles of the Gu worm and shook it, the burning Gu worm shook like a ball of fire.
The flickering firelight reflected on Shangqing's withered face, forming a strange light and shadow on his face.
This scene of the Gu worm spontaneously combusting shocked everyone in the audience, all of them couldn't take their eyes off it, marveling at how such a piece of paper talisman could burn this weird and terrifying Gu worm to death.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the burning Gu worm, and no one noticed that Gu Yanfei had another talisman in the palm of his left hand, which was cleverly covered with his sleeve.
The talisman paper wafted out in the wind and rolled up with a fallen leaf…
"what!"
As soon as this talisman came out, Shang Qing suddenly let out a heart-piercing scream, kicking his feet again and again in a gaffe, showing a bit of exasperated embarrassment.
There were two open flames on his two shoes out of thin air.
The scorching flames spread rapidly along the Taoist robe and knee pants. In the blink of an eye, the parts below Shangqing's knees were roaring, and the golden red flames danced wildly, and was still greedily climbing to the top of the thighs...
The Shangqing who became a "fire man" struggled in pain and roared in the raging fire; the scarlet Gu worm in Gu Yanfei's hand also twisted its body and struggled desperately in the fireball.
At first glance, the appearance of this person twisting and struggling in the flames is exactly the same, revealing an indescribable strangeness, as if there is an invisible bond between them.
Everyone saw Shangqing's spontaneous combustion. This scene was too terrifying. Everyone was frightened and could not make a sound.
The Zhang Min father and daughter and the middle-aged woman next to could almost feel the scorching heat on Shangqing's body, and they all took a few steps back in fear.
"Gu insects know their masters." Gu Yanfei touched the small chin, and sighed softly, "Insects die, eat masters."
The last word of dragged a slow ending, both mocking and laughing, with a sharp edge.
The word "Master" she said refers directly to the supernatant.
"The worm died, the devourer" echoed repeatedly in the ears of everyone, the crowd was silent, only the screams of Shangqing echoed in the cold wind.
After a brief silence, a roar of righteous indignation erupted again from the crowd.
"Backlash!" The azure-robed youth with a black middle shirt showing a corner of the neckline pointed at Shangqing, and said with certainty, "The worm was burned, so it backfired on its master."
Iron evidence is right in front of you, so many people have seen it with their own eyes, this time, everyone believes it.
