Thousand Souls Introduction

Episs. 23: Don't dare to sing loudly, frighten the people in the sky 5

After the snow, the snow lasted for many days. In two days, it will be New Year's Eve. There are many foreigners in the capital who come to visit their relatives and friends. They have to strengthen patrols to avoid trouble for the chaotic people.

The result of Han Ruqi's work day and night was that he fell ill and was finally allowed to rest as an exception before the New Year. The prince came to visit him in person, and Emperor Xuanping also gave him a lot of good medicinal herbs as a reward.

"What kind of serious illness is in bed? I think Lord Han is very energetic." Wei Tanyi leaned lazily in the Taishi chair and was absent-mindedly sarcastic.

Han Ruxu sucked his nose hard, took the hot tea on the Sis, and put it on his cheek to keep warm.

"Yo, it's really docile today. The tiger that pulls out teeth is not as good as the cat." Seeing that he did not respond, Wei Tanyi continued to be sarcastic.

"Stop for a while. It's difficult for me to talk now, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you." Very rarely, Han Ru muttered peacefully, but his heavy nasal voice explained the fundamental reason why he was soft.

Wei Tanyi didn't mean to be sympathetic to the patient at all. He tapped on the table with his fingertips: "Isn't Lord Han sick? Why do you come to me? Don't you want to spread the wind and cold to us, or hope to be more seriously ill, and you don't have to patrol the streets after the Spring Festival?"

Han Ruqi grinned at him, and then coughed fiercely. It seemed that he really had the intention to kill the enemy and was powerless. Even Jing Si showed a concerned look. Wei Tanyi finally let him go, and his eyes signaled to Qian Si to bring the stove to him.

"Don't you know the reason why I'm here?" After clearing his throat repeatedly, Han Ru asked in a strange tone.

"Or is it for the purple myrtle? Lord Han's persistence made Wei admire him," Wei Tanyi sighed, "But your persistence is useless. Ziwei Baizhen has been sent back to the master. At that time, Pei Shaoyin, the owner of the second palace, left Ziwei Baizhen outside the palace without authorization. This time, the master should forgive him."

"I don't care about that."

Hearing what he said, Wei Tanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Then dare you ask Lord Han why you are so worried?"

Han Ruxu looked at him very seriously and opened his mouth--

"Hajiu--!"

"Hahahahaha..." Si smiled so much that she almost knocked over the incense burner.

There was an unprecedented anger on Wei Tanyi's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you dare to fool me? Han Ruxu, are you tired of living?"

"It's purely an accident," being called by name and surname is by no means a good omen. Han Ruxu accepted it very rationally. "What I care about is the real secret of Ziwei. You said last time that it is not a prophecy, so where is the real prophecy? Is Ziwei Baizhen just an incompleted map?

He stared at him angrily for a long time. The shopkeeper dressed in fox fur seemed to hit his foot with a stone and said, "What else do you think can it be?"

"That prophecy..."

"A frivolous and impatient monarch who abandoned his clothes and socks for a long time before crossing the river, isn't he exhausted?"

Han Ru rubbed his nose puzzledly.

"The hundred arrays of Ziwei were originally a long scroll. The stars in the sky were depicted in circles of various sizes, and then the reverse side was beaten with wood chisel, so that those circles can protrude out of the paper surface. Even if they can't be seen, they can groping with their fingers, so that people who are blind can see the stars all over the sky." Wei Tanyi explained lightly.

Si Si blinked: "Does Lord Han believe in fate?"

Han Ruqi hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "My life is up to me, not by heaven."

Si Si Guan'er: "Everyone in the world will say so, but when you know that someone predicts the future, they flock to it. Do you believe it or not?"

Before this box came up with a suitable answer, Wei Tanyi suddenly stood up: "It's a rare sunny day. Let's go to the river to see the stars tonight!"

"Okay, I'm going to prepare." The quenching floated happily to the backyard.

Looking at her happy back, Han Ruqi didn't understand what the stars could see at all. She sneezed again and angrily took out her handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"Most of the birds are invisible at night, and I haven't been able to enjoy the night sky for some years." Wei Tanyi paced around the store with an empty cup.

Han Ruqi stared at him and asked, "You have all asked me if I believe in fate. I'm not a living person for the time being. Do you believe in fate or not?"

"Well," Wei Tanyi touched his jaw thoughtfully. "I can't see the number of days in the past and believe in fate, but now I dare not say that I believe in fate anymore." He spread his hands and said, "People who can't see the number of days say that they want to resist God's will, but how can they know that their resistance is not doomed? How can you and I know whether what people who can see the number of days are telling the truth or not?"

There seemed to be some different flavors hidden in his words. Han Ruqi was still aftertaste, and she asked loudly in the backyard if she wanted to bring this and that. Just make your own decision," Wei Tanyi tightened the fox's coat and walked to the backyard. "I almost forgot, Lord Han."

"What?"

"I've said that the Fuqin Palace can only go in and out, and the living can't leave."

Han Ruxu's whole body stiffened and stared at him up and down.

"Lord Han, you'd better go home to recover. The living people will not understand. The dead people have no eyes and can't see the taste of the sky. How painful it is."

Hu Yanzhao, the word Guangzang, is a native of Qishan Jiangyin. Zuo Liu Xian opened up the territory and worked hard all his life. Thirty out of seven died in Shancheng.

He knows astronomy and geography, is proficient in various art of war, can plan strategies to win thousands of miles away, and has more talent for institutional information. He hid in Qishan to wait for Mingjun, and Liu Xian visited the mountain.

His sister Hu Yanshi has been blind since she was a child, and she has 15 wives, but she has not passed up to Cheng Enlu. Not long after, look for the end of the disease.

There are hundreds of Ziwei in the picture of steps, which is mysterious and difficult to solve.

——The History of Jinghou • Biography of Huyanguang

A hundred arrays of purple myrtles, step by step. However, its original loss, as seen in the rubbings, its composition is different from ordinary people, and the brightness of the stars is distinguished by the size of the points, and the lines are connected with adjacent star groups, which is vaguely consistent with folklore and needs to be tested.

Zeng Yun, a Pingshi Taoist in Fenghe Douqiao Village, Ziwei is not unique to be solved by stars, and there is also a hidden vein of fate in it, which is still difficult to guess.

Later generations examined the biographies of Hu Yanguang and knew that there were clouds through the fate and the fortune of the Central Plains before his death, but they did not mention the book.

Out of the palace, Shucheng walked easily on the roof.

He still remembers the fact that Ziwei Baizhen Tuoben reappeared more than ten years ago, which caused the killing of Aunt Qian. What specifically happened? Pei Shaoyin, the owner of the second palace, kept silent. For this reason, he was punished by the palace owner for thinking about it for a year.

Now he has regained a hundred arrays of Ziwei in full view of the public, and there should be no gap between the palace master and the second palace owner.

When I was happy, a voice suddenly came to my ear: "I haven't seen you for a long time. What good thing is this?" At a glance, it was Wei Tanyi who walked alone on the tile eaves across the street, and the dazzling red fox coat was still the same as before.

"Why is your uncle still wandering outside so late?" There is no way not to be curious, and there is no way not to be vigilant. This uncle, who is much younger than himself, is more unreasonable than Aunt Rong. If he can appear quietly near him, he must have some plans.

Wei Tanyi jumped gently, landed opposite him, and stopped the way: "It's nothing. I just went out for a walk."

Who will walk on the roof of someone else's house? Shucheng thought of the purple myrtle in his arms and reached out to touch it. Fortunately, it was still there.

"Sure enough, did you hide something good? Open your eyes for me?" Wei Tanyi smiled cunningly, but it didn't seem like he just wanted to have a look.

"It's hard to obey," he finally got it. "The palace lord ordered the disciples to send it back to the palace once they get it."

Wei Tanyi picked up his arm and said, "Soncheng, you're wrong. I just want to have a look. What's the difference between you going back and recovering your life?"

Look, although this person will not rush up and fight like Aunt Rong, if it hadn't been for a trick, he would never have blocked his way. Forgiveness couldn't help setting up the posture and preparing to make a tough breakthrough.

"It seems that you can't learn well."

Shu Cheng tightened the nerves of his whole body, protected the purple rose in his arms with one hand, and put his other hand on his chest.

Suddenly, his body was as stiff as if he couldn't move, and then he saw his hand reach into his skirt and take out Ziwei.

"Uncle!" How dare you do this!

Wei Tanyi snorted: "Who made you so disobedient? Come on, throw it over."

Looking at his hand with incomparable sadness, he threw a hundred arrays of purple roses wrapped in yellow cloth.

"Good boy. It seems to be a book. I'll take it for a few days. Don't worry, I'll let it go back to the palace page by page. All I want is something useless in it.

Looking at the fiery red back and leaving leisurely, Shucheng had to sigh and admit defeat.

When the uncle is capricious, he is afraid that he is better than the two aunts. Even the palace owner can't do anything about him and let him go down the mountain. I'm afraid he knows that no one can subdue him unless he comes out in person, right?

In this case, what else do I have to worry about?
