In the Shengsheng Hall of the imperial palace of Guoxiang, a small Taoist in a hurry came to wake up the white haired youth who were thinking cross legged.
The national teacher opened his eyes, raised his white eyebrows a little, and looked at the stranger: "who?"
"The two officers and generals you sent down to the palace are in the front hall, saying that they came to see you."
The master pondered for a moment, and thought about it. Finally, he got up and stayed, put on his Taoist robe, and walked out.
A quarter of an hour later, Rong Ling and Liu Wei were taken to the bamboo Pavilion on the east side of the front hall, where the national teacher was already there.
Just as the Taoist said, Liu Wei also saw her unwelcome in the eyes of the national teacher. She didn't care, but smiled.
"It's still early at the moment. Do you disturb your adult Qingxiu?"
Reach out to do not hit smiling face person, Liu Wei head says beautiful, national teacher also is not easy to attack, only heavy way: "no harm."
The meaning is still disturbed, but he is magnanimous and doesn't care.
Liu Wei said again, "today, I come here for a private matter. Please help me."
Guoshi looked at her suspiciously, and asked quietly, "it's you who came to the palace?"
Liu Wei shook her head. "It's my business."
The national teacher raised his eyebrows and his expression became delicate.
At the end of the day, he will sit here and see the face of the palace.
Liu Wei knew that Guoshi didn't like them, and heard that it had nothing to do with your coming to the palace, so she had to drive them away. So while Guoshi was still considering how to refuse not to hurt the harmony, she took the initiative: "before going to Beijing, she once stayed in Mingyue Town, the suburb of Beijing. When she stayed, she heard the local laughter and said that there was a ghost in the town."
Guoshi has been devoted to gods and worships them all his life. When he heard about ghosts and gods, he was curious about what Liu Wei was going to say next. He nodded briefly and said, "there are many villages and towns in the suburbs of Beijing. Some folk records are different and spread widely. The ghost army in Mingyue Town and Liu xinniang in Qingfeng town have heard a little about this official."
But also face to mention Liu xinniang.
Liu Wei sneered. When the national teacher looked at it, his smile turned to kindness: "does that adult think that ghosts, ghosts and spirits army, or even Liu xinniang, are all real?"
This can be said about the itch of Guoshi. What Guoshi likes is to promote feudalism and superstition like others. He nodded and said: "most of the country legends are false, but some of them are true. Mingyue Town's official has been there too. It's not surprising that there are dead ghosts living there."
Liu Wei asked again, "what about Liu xinniang?"
The national teacher looked at her and said, "the ghost is asking for his life. He is a poor man." Finish saying, ask again: "the thing that you ask this official for help, is to want to know that Liu Xi Niang's matter?"
Liu Wei shook his head: "I want to ask about the ghost army."
Guo Shi frowned: "what do you ask?"
"It's said that Mingyue Town is a place where corpses are gathered. It's gloomy and terrifying. The ghosts and ghosts grow up. But the ghost and God army is suppressed by the emperor's order. Finally, they are killed by corpses and ghosts. They are turned into Yin soldiers. I want to know that these are true."
Guoshi is confused about her intention. Before answering, she first asks, "how is truth? How is fake? You just want to prove the truth of a rural anecdote when you come to ask me
Liu Wei shook his head, still smiling: "please tell me the truth first."
Guo Shi frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "half true, half false, true and false."
"The imperial army is true, the ghost army is false, the new bride is true, the ghost is false, but?"
The National Teacher stared at her, and there was a kind of feeling of being stereotyped in his heart, but these rural chronicles were always false, and he didn't feel that he had said any secret that could not be said.
After thinking about it, he simply said, "if you only want to find someone to chat, I'm sorry that I have no time to accompany you."
When the master had finished speaking, he really wanted to get up and leave.
Liu Wei said at this time: "adults are from Mingyue Town, right?"
The figure that national division leaves suddenly a meal, look dangerous narrow eyes: "what?"
"You are from Mingyue Town. You were born in Mingyue Town before your master was asked to collect and raise you. There are two ghost stories in Mingyue Town. The first one is that an embroider's mother was married to a butcher by a gambling father. On the day of her new marriage, she escaped from marriage and went to a mass funeral. At last, she was killed by a ghoul. One after another, the butcher's family that chased her also fell into the mouth of the ghoul."
After a pause, he said.
"The second one is that ghosts and corpses are rampant, which makes the imperial court have to order soldiers to calm the chaos. Therefore, there is a theory that the imperial court forces suppress ghosts and corpses."
The Guoshi's expression is very poor: "what do you want to say?"
"A few days ago, the adults should still be familiar with it. On that day, I told a lie. In fact, the boy who was called assassin was my son. On that morning, the dog had seen the adults on the way out of the palace."
The national teacher sat down again and stared at Liu Wei's eyes: "the little boy was led by Ji Taifu. He seemed to be Ji's doll, and the two claimed to be under the command of Ru JiangWang. When Japanese officials knew that it was the doll who broke into the back hall by mistake and was trapped by the guards. Taifu asked his former student Ru JiangWang for help, and then there was the chaos behind him. Unexpectedly, you and the child had this relationship , then you have taken away the people. Now what do you want to say? ""Say your excellency." Liu Wei said bluntly: "now that I've confessed my relationship with that kid, it's not hard for the adult to think about what it is to do with Ji Taifu. I believe that the adult knows better what it is to do with Ji Taifu and Lingshi."
On that day, Guoxiang prison's car passed the Palace Road, and the palace people inquired about the road, saying that jitaifu returned to Beijing, but the carriage broke down on the way. They asked him if he could take jitaifu for a ride. Guoshi happily agreed. In fact, he was not familiar with the old Taifu who had been serving for many years, but he heard many times from the teacher who raised him. The old monk who died early was a close friend of jitaifu.
In this way, it is not surprising that one's life experience will be known by the people in front of him.
It must be said by jitaifu.
But what about that? The hero did not ask where he came from. He left Buddhism and became a disciple of Taoism. He was invited by the emperor's order to establish a national elephant prison and a minister of extreme people. He did it by his own skill. Who can say more about him?
"Then what?" said the master proudly
How about knowing that he comes from Mingyue Town?
"The new bride..." Liu Wei's voice is very determined: "it's your birth mother."
National Teacher Mou color more occurrence cold: "continue."
"A ghoul is your father."
This time, the national master was angry at last. He clapped the stone table and stood up abruptly.
Realizing that he was about to make a rough move, Liu Wei pulled out his body from the side of Rong Leng, and his sword was already out of its sheath.
Liu Wei took Rong Ling's hand, calmed him down, looked up at the angry face of the national master, and sighed: "I didn't come here today to uncover the scars of adults. The past is over. What happened to the predecessors, let alone the descendants, is true. I'd like to ask adults to help me. Please sit down and let's talk slowly."
