Huo Qubing stared at the ancient well in front of him.
This is a quite exquisite stone well. The outer circle of the well is square, and the well mouth is round. The internal depth is unknown, and the side length is about ten feet.
The wellhead is made of bluestone, which is full of primitive simplicity.
There is a cold halo faintly emitting from the well, which is quite mysterious.
Huo Qubing suspected that the well was his plug-in, but he had no evidence.
He wanted to get close to the top of the well and see what was going on inside, but he never succeeded.
Because he was in a 'dream' at this time, his thoughts were not completely under control, and there seemed to be a force in the well preventing him from getting closer.
Just when he had the idea of being in a dream, an inexplicable force struck him, dragging him out of the dream and back to reality.
"Here we go again, this well appears in my dream once a day for half a month..."
The next moment, Huo Qubing opened his eyes, ending his deep sleep, and the ancient well in his consciousness disappeared.
The moment he exited the dream, he felt Qi flowing out of the spiritual platform and flowing throughout his body. Finally, they reunited in the depths of consciousness, turning into wisps of halo. After blending, they formed a simple book with a simple style:
"There are numbers in the art, the combination of yin and yang, and the opportunity lies within it. The opportunity cannot be set, and if you set it up, you will miss."
When the simple book was unfolded a little, there appeared handwriting that looked like seal script or ancient Chinese writing from the Six Kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period. The faint light faded.
The ancient well appeared for days, and every time Qi came out and dispersed into his body, pushing him to become more and more powerful, but this was the first time that the bamboo slips and ancient scrolls were transformed into his consciousness.
The form of the simple book is clear, and you can visualize it as long as you calm down your mind and focus your awareness.
"The ancient well in the dream has the power to keep sending out messages. Is the real purpose to manifest this simple book?"
Huo Qubing thought: There is a lot in the art, the coordination of yin and yang... It looks like the contents of a military book!
When he tried to visualize the bottom of the Simplified Book of Consciousness Sea, he suddenly discovered that the ancient well had changed again. Five wisps of aura actually rose up and fell into the Simplified Book one after another. Each breath occupies one slip, and the imprint turns into five patterns.
Within one of the breaths, there seemed to be a winged flying snake pattern.
The other four auras were extremely hazy, and the specific forms could not be seen clearly.
The next moment, the simple book scrolled and closed, obscuring the content in the book and losing its trace in the sea of consciousness.
Huo Qubing was in a sleeping hall and had just woken up from the bed.
There is a long wooden table next to the couch, and an oval bronze lamp is placed on the table. The lamp trough below is about the size of a fist, which can be used to store lamp oil. When the lamp oil is taken out, it can be lit on the decorated lampstand.
However, there was no light in the room at this time, only the moonlight was shining like water through the wooden rectangular window lattice.
On the other side of the couch, there is a tic-tac-toe wooden structure hanging clothes.
Huo Qubing sat up from the couch with a thoughtful expression.
He is the champion of the Han Dynasty who is famous throughout the ages and who amazes the world!
Ever since his aunt Wei Zifu entered the palace, Liu Che, a hero of the generation and later known as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, became his uncle. The Wei family flourished and everyone's destiny changed. His uncle Wei Qing even defeated the Xiongnu in a row and gradually became the mainstay of the dynasty.
Huo Qubing is seventeen years old and has not yet become famous in the world.
The residence he currently resides in is located beside Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. It is his family's residence.
Not long after he woke up, before he had time to carefully examine the changes in his consciousness, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Shizhong Huo." A voice sounded, deliberately lowering his voice and making him a little deep.
Shizhong specifically refers to the emperor's close ministers, especially during the period of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, their status was very high.
He is always at the side of the emperor. He is a valuable confidant. He can give his own opinions on all matters in the court, while he is in charge of the emperor's cars, sedans, clothes, utensils, etc.!
"Your Majesty's assignment has come to light." The voice outside the room said again.
Huo Qubing reached out and took out the clothes on the wooden stool beside the couch.
Hanfu is mostly a deep garment. You need to put on the inner lining first, and then put on the outer garment that is connected from top to bottom and tied with a rope. The characteristic is that the body is hidden and elegant.
Huo Qubing quickly dressed and walked towards the door.
This rare military genius in ancient and modern times has a heroic face and sharp eyes. At the age of seventeen, his figure is not yet burly, but his back is straight, giving him a sharp look.
As he stepped forward, he glanced at his waist and abdomen without any trace.
The second gentleman from his waist down is quite spectacular, and his body size is a bit different from ordinary people.
It is said that there was a man named Lao Ai in the previous dynasty, whose greatest strength was that he could turn the wheel. The special abilities of his body are beyond comparison, which shows how majestic his physique is.
"Let's go and take a look." Huo Qubing opened the door.
The person outside the door was bowing and waiting. He was a young general wearing armor.
At this time, a figure suddenly jumped down from the beam in the room and landed on the table nearby. It was a rather large 'cat'.
This cat has brown fur, a thick body and a short tail.
There are standing black tufts of hair on the tips of its ears and cheeks, its body is light brown or hemp brown, its belly is light white, and its tail has black spots. It is quite beautiful with jewel-like eyes.
This was the spiritual beast raised by Huo Qubing. It looked like a cat, but it was actually a lynx, a very ferocious beast given by the emperor.
The young general called Yao Zhao and turned around to lead the way.
The cat also wanted to go out for a walk, but as soon as it stepped out, it heard Huo Qubing say: "Look after the house."
The big cat rolled its eyes, retracted its paws with a depressed look on its face, leapt up to the beam with a dexterity, curled its tail, turned itself into a ball of fur, and yawned.
The cold moon is like frost, and dawn is approaching.
There is a long street in the south of Chang'an City, with numerous buildings on both sides. Most of the people who live there are nobles from the imperial court.
In the night, a brightly lit mansion was surrounded by more than a hundred people in black, and the atmosphere was solemn.
In a room in the backyard, a lotus-shaped bronze lampstand was lit with blazing lights, as bright as day.
There were seven or eight people in the room, and the atmosphere was depressing!
Sitting behind a low mat in front was a middle-aged man, his eyes were closed, he was not breathing, and he was actually dead.
This man died in a bizarre manner. He remained seated with a calm expression, as if he was taking a nap before his death. There were no traces of injuries or struggles on his body.
The people in the room carefully inspected the body and concluded that the cause of death was...sleep to death. No other abnormalities were found.
"This is the fourth case this month. The symptoms of the deceased are all the same, with no injuries or illnesses."
"Officer Liu who died this time was not only a relative of His Majesty, but also a lieutenant of the Northern Army. If we still can't find out the reason, the implication will be huge."
Lieutenant of the Northern Army, specializing in public security, responsible for internal and external security, responsible for picketing, ranking ninth.
An official of this level dies mysteriously, and the consequences can be imagined.
There were two people leading the room. One was wearing black clothes and was around fifty. His nose was very wide in the middle, giving people a sculpture-like coldness. From the looks of it, he was a difficult person to get close to.
The other person wears a hood, and even his face is covered in it, like a gauze curtain, and his face cannot be seen.
However, her figure is graceful and she seems to be a mature woman.
The emperor Liu Che had a secret guard under his command, which was like the emperor's eyes and ears. Among them were many strange people and strangers. This woman is one of the leaders of the secret guards. The other old man is one of the nine ministers, under the command of Tingwei, who is in charge of criminal law, and can serve as an official in Qujun.
When Liu Huai died, the two of them rushed over immediately.
They are all good at investigating and investigating cases. They tried their best but found nothing of value.
When the two of them were frowning, there were footsteps outside the house, and two figures walked in one after the other.
The two leaders in the room were both in high positions and knew the person who walked in first.
The man was wearing a large cloak and dark black clothes, and his young face was very heroic.
When everyone saw him coming in, they folded their hands in unison, bowed forward, and saluted, "I've seen Huo Shizhong."
It was Huo Qubing who came in. After he came in, he glanced at the body and sniffed the smell in the room calmly.
"What did you find?"
"We are investigating. The current information we have is that Chief Liu returned home at midnight last night and then entered the study. He specifically asked others not to disturb him.
The body was discovered by the waitress at midnight. We rushed over to check and initially determined that he had been dead for more than two hours and there were no injuries on his body. "
The leading woman in the room who was wearing a scarf took off her scarf after Huo Qubing came in, revealing a face with a slightly pointed chin and fair skin:
"There have been four mysterious deaths of courtiers this month."
"Through the previous three experiences, the deceased may have abnormalities in the chest, abdomen or back about two hours after death."
Huo Qubing was looking at the layout of the room.
The area of the room is about three feet vertically and horizontally. It is used for official business and reading books. It has a flat stone floor, the door opens to the south, there are windows on the east and west sides, and a long sword hangs on the wall on the north side.
Under the wall is a low mat. Liu Huai, Lieutenant of the Northern Army, was sitting behind the low mat. He died inexplicably, and his face had a rigid and pale look unique to the dead.
Huo Qubing turned his gaze back to the corpse: "Will there be changes two hours after death? So it's almost time. Take off his clothes."
"only!"
Immediately, someone came forward and untied the robe from the chest, front and back of the corpse.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Not long after the clothes on the corpse were taken off, changes appeared on the chest and back.
First there was a faint black air, and then there was something like hair, which grew rapidly from the chest to the back, and became extremely thick within a few breaths.
New hair grew on a corpse!
The hair is entangled, and it seems to have formed characters. On the chest, it looks like "Han Dynasty will die", and on the back, it will say "Emperor collapses"!
The hair strands that make up the handwriting squirm like snakes and insects, which makes people feel horrified.
Huo Qubing squatted down next to the corpse and stared at the flowing hair.
Suddenly, the corpse actually opened its eyes, revealing its dilated pupils, staring directly at Huo Qubing.
Dead man opens his eyes? !
