A scream rang out from the Weiyang Palace, penetrated the heavy autumn rain, spread around the inner courtyard of the palace, and reached the Xuanwu Gate.
"Where is the leader of the Imperial Guard? Seeing off our guests!"
The leader eunuch on the high platform waved his hand and looked at Jin Wuming. Bao Tu and the dozen other monks who had not left waved their hands: "You can all leave."
"Whoosh!" With a sound, Xiaoguang jumped down from the high platform and ran towards Shurong Shuyu. He received the master's words and told him to go back to the inn first.
Ye Xiaoqian became anxious and shouted, "Is our shopkeeper still in Weiyang Palace?"
Wang Yi sighed, took her hand and turned away. Everything here was over. He had to clear the place for others, so how could he stay here.
As he followed the imperial guards out of the palace, he ordered: "Don't tell anyone about what just happened, even if you kill me."
Wu Tu, who was following the two of them, glanced at Liu Tianfeng, and Liu Tianfeng nodded.
The two of them understood that this was a private matter in the inner courtyard of the palace, and if it leaked out from the mouths of people like themselves, they would probably be annihilated.
Now that they have seen the excitement, they will shut up next.
Murong Shuyu held Xiaoguang with one hand and Jin Wuming with the other, and said softly: "Listen, you two, we didn't see or hear anything just now."
Xiaoguang nodded: "Don't worry, my master has already told you, don't tell anyone."
Under the urging of the imperial guards, the front of Weiyang Palace had been cleaned up in less than a quarter of an hour.
Even the monks who were trapped in the formation were put on shackles one by one and sent to the prison.
Even the broken corpses on the ground were cleared away.
After a night of autumn rain, I'm afraid even the blood on the ground will be washed clean tomorrow.
No one dared to move except for the big shopkeeper who was leaning in front of Weiyang Palace because the chief eunuch on the high platform would not let them take him away.
Along with the group of courtiers, businessmen, young ladies who were trapped in front of Xuanwu Gate, they also quickly left the palace and ran towards their homes.
Until everyone dispersed, even the Imperial Guards were gone and no one was left.
"Creak!" With a sound, the heavy palace door opened again, and Qin Xiangyu rushed out instantly.
He picked up the big shopkeeper on the ground, turned to look at Gao Yue'er who was coming slowly and asked, "Senior, who is this?"
Gao Yue'er sighed and waved his hand, a stream of true energy rushed to the face of the big shopkeeper. In just a moment, some changes happened on the big shopkeeper's face...
"Wow!" Qin Xiangyu cried bitterly again.
"Husband, my husband, how could it be you? Aren't you doing business in the desert to make money?"
Qin Xiangyu's face was pale, and she was holding the dead Shopkeeper Wang on the ground, shaking.
In her heart, her daughter Wang Xiaoyue and her husband, Shopkeeper Wang, were her heaven and earth. The death of Shopkeeper Wang would destroy all her hopes.
At this moment, she finally let out a desperate cry.
Step by step, the Queen of Heaven stepped out of the palace gate. She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, with a sad look on her face, and wanted to step forward to help her junior sister up.
"Don't touch her, let her cry as long as she wants."
On the high platform, the chief eunuch, who was still sitting on the phoenix chair, said quietly: "The human world also has love and pain. Let her have enough pain at one time."
With a wave of her hand, the Queen of Heaven dismissed all the maids and eunuchs.
It wasn't until everyone left that he looked at the leader eunuch on the high platform and said quietly: "Brother, why don't you spare his life?"
It was only then that Qin Xiangyu came to his senses. It turned out that Li Xiuyuan had been there all along, and the leader and eunuch who remained motionless on the high platform was played by Li Xiuyuan.
At the moment, Li Xiuyuan was gradually getting wet, and his official uniform was about to get soaked, but he still did not move.
Looking at Qin Xiangyu, he said quietly: "Before you got married, your senior asked you whether you wanted to cultivate immortality or the world of mortals. You chose the mortal world..."
He didn't finish what he said, because everything that happened after that was Qin Xiangyu's own choice and had nothing to do with him.
, playing with old man Hong
The sea has nothing to do with it.
Reaching out to touch Shopkeeper Wang's face, Qin Xiangyu replied hoarsely: "But, he is my husband?"
The Empress of Heaven felt soft in her heart and was speechless for a moment.
Gao Yue'er felt even more painful because she thought her own pain was no worse than Qin Xiangyu's.
Li Xiuyuan said with an indifferent expression: "It is precisely because he is your husband that when he was the boss of the Longhu Gang and caused trouble in Chang'an, I did not take action."
"Later, his substitute was killed by Ah Jue. He just stayed quiet for a year and then turned into the boss of the money chest. I didn't take any action..."
Gao Yue'er nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything.
Qingyu in the Hongchen Inn even murmured to herself: "Why bother?"
Li Xiuyuan continued: "He forced a good girl into prostitution. I didn't take any action when he killed Brother Ajue's mother. I didn't take any action when he snatched Jue'er and sent it to Longmen Grottoes where there were Buddhist relics..."
"I said that even if he became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in my opinion, it would not be worth my while. I gave him countless opportunities. He could have left with you."
Li Xiuyuan sighed leisurely.
He said sternly: "When he was about to attack me with a sword and kill me, I never spared him and made a sword agreement with him so that he could leave the palace..."
When Qin Xiangyu couldn’t help crying: "But you still killed him after all. He is my husband and Xiaoyue'er's biological father. ah!"
"I am also Xiaoyue'er's father."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the frowning Queen of Heaven and shook his head.
Said: "He shouldn't have taken action against your senior sister. When he threw the thunderbolt to blow open the palace gate, he would have died!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yue'er's expression suddenly became serious and she couldn't help but ask, "Why? I am in the palace and no one can hurt the Queen of Heaven!"
At this time, even the Queen of Heaven couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"Yueer, you are wrong."
Li Xiuyuan said coldly: "Back then, before I left Chang'an, I met Juier and her father on the snowy mountains. I promised her father that I would protect her."
"Later, I accompanied Sanzang to Tianzhu, Duo'er was killed and entered Ganye Temple, and Xiangyu got married. I didn't catch up with these."
"Later, I promised my sister that as long as she is in the palace, I will never leave Chang'an again, and I will never allow anyone to bully her..."
"I got to know you first after having a sister, Xiangyu."
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said, "Be reasonable. Think about it, has your senior sister done anything to feel sorry for you and Wang Xiaoyue over the years?"
Qingyu in the Hongchen Inn whispered back: "No."
Gao Yue'er in front of Weiyang Palace thought for a moment and said, "It seems not."
Qin Xiangyu cried and replied: "Why would senior sister bully us two?"
Li Xiuyuan then looked at him and said, "I said that heaven and earth have their own way, human beings have their own way, and kings also have their own way. If people don't abide by the way, they will eventually be destroyed by the way of heaven."
"What I protect is not just my sister, but this is the principle of this world. Otherwise, like Xiao Hei, I would have left this world long ago. How could I have met you?"
Qin Xiangyu had already bitten the corner of her lip, and a wisp of blood slowly overflowed, gradually dyeing the skirt on her chest red. A touch of bright color, a red flower bloomed on her chest.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the master has never stopped her in the path she has taken, and it all depends on her temperament.
It was Li Xiuyuan's idea for her to become a disciple, and neither Li Xiuyuan nor the master gave her any trouble after that.
Li Xiuyuan said quietly: "Not to mention you, I didn't even want to be Juier's master at the beginning, so I became a junior sister like you..."
The Queen of Heaven, who was still frowning, nodded gently and walked step by step towards the high platform where the autumn rain was flowing.
Her brother also ignored everything she did in the palace.
But he stayed with her silently in Chang'an City.
Qin Xiangyu sighed: "It's just that I finally got married to him..."
Li Xiuyuan didn't want his sister to get wet in the rain, so he came down from the high platform step by step. With every step he took, there was a burst of golden light on his body.
By the time he took the Queen of Heaven's hand and returned to Weiyang Palace, the autumn rain on his body had evaporated, and there was no more autumn rain on his face.
Looking at Qin Xiangyu who fell to the ground, he said: "When you enter the world of mortals, you have to endure the wind and rain of the world, including birth, old age, illness and death, love, hate and separation."
After saying that, he walked towards Weiyang Palace. After thinking about it, he replied: "I can burn him for you, and you can leave with his ashes."
Qin Xiangyu was stunned for a moment, then gently put down Shopkeeper Wang and smiled miserably: "Then please sir, I want to take him to see Xiao Yue'er."
Li Xiuyuan glanced at Gao Yue'er and pulled the Queen of Heaven towards Weiyang Palace.
Just as he stepped through the door, a piece of talisman floated out, landed on Shopkeeper Wang, and a flame burst into flames.
Qin Xiangyu stood aside and cried again.
Gao Yue'er thought for a while and waved to Li Xiuyuan: "I'll accompany her."
Li Xiuyuan took the Queen of Heaven with him back to Weiyang Palace and sat down. He took a pot of spiritual wine, poured two cups and handed it to the Queen of Heaven who was standing aside.
He said, "Ask my sister if you have anything."
The Queen of Heaven sighed, thought for a while and asked: "Since Since it is junior sister's husband who is here tonight, what is his origin?"
Li Xiuyuan took a sip of spiritual wine and asked calmly: "Do you want to continue pursuing the investigation?"
The Queen of Heaven shook her head, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Nodding, Li Xiuyuan said: "He is from the Xiao Mansion...Many people died in the Xiao Mansion. As I said, those are the grudges in your palace, and I don't want to ask about them."
[In view of the general environment,
The Queen of Heaven was stunned. She never expected that today's assassination was really aimed at herself.
It was just because of the grudge between Concubine Xiao Shu and herself, because... thinking of this, even she was speechless.
The elder brother ignored the love and grudges of his junior sister in the human world, and also ignored the overt and secret struggles in his own palace.
Just like her brother promised her, she just stayed with her silently in Chang'an City until she left Chang'an with the emperor and went to Luoyang.
My brother still didn't leave.
It's just that tonight, one thought arises and the other disappears... The two swordsmen put aside twenty years of grudges and wiped out their grudges with one sword;
In one thought, whether it was the big shopkeeper, shopkeeper Wang, or shopkeeper Xiao, had he endured it for ten years or twenty years, just to avenge himself...
Thinking of this, the Queen of Heaven couldn't help but ask: "Brother, can a person's hatred last so long? Even if ten or twenty years have passed?"
Li Xiuyuan replied: "Yes, it is precisely because the world is so obsessed with hatred that Sanzang made a great wish to retrieve the scriptures from Tianzhu and resolve the love and hatred of the world."
When the Queen of Heaven heard this, she couldn't help but have a look of pain on her brows.
Looking at the half-cup of remaining wine in his hand, he said, "Even if Sanzang retrieves ten thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures, can he really resolve the grudges here? Will he resolve the hatred the big shopkeeper has for me?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said: "The sutra is in the Buddhist hall. If he doesn't listen to Tripitaka preaching to everyone, how can he hear the Tao? How can he let it go?"
"Even if there are tens of thousands of scriptures hidden in Yuhua Temple, if people in the world don't listen to the Tao or study it, even if they die, they won't understand Tripitaka's painstaking efforts."
Li Xiuyuan sighed: "On this matter alone, I feel sad for Sanzang."
"Why?" The Queen of Heaven was stunned.
"Why? Sanzang went through a lot of hardships and was almost buried in the eight hundred miles of desert. The best time of his life was spent on the journey to obtain the scriptures. But how many people studied the scriptures that he retrieved?"
"Perhaps Tripitaka is compassionate, not
It is just for the current people in the world, and it can also enlighten future generations, but in my eyes, I only see the current people who are still ignorant. "
After hearing this, the Queen of Heaven asked, "What should I do?"
