==========
Chu Qi left.
It's like a passing guest passing through Zhan Zhao's life.
Nothing seems to have changed during these wonderful days. Zhan Zhao is still the graceful Nan Xia and the gentle royal cat.
That day, after they came out of the mountain, they captured Chen Jing and others with lightning speed.
It's funny to say that they were afraid that Chen Jing would get rid of all the evidence before them and then escape. However, when they actually entered the government office, they discovered that Chen Jing and his wife were still feeding Xuanji to each other. Afurong pills given previously.
The two of them took the medicine like they were intoxicated, like a dream, like glue.
Zhan Zhao captured them both effortlessly.
At the beginning, they were all holding their necks and refused to admit guilt. Chen Jing and Xuanji were at odds with each other and put the blame on each other's head.
It was not until Sima Qing, who narrowly escaped death after the explosion in the underground palace, and finally regained consciousness with his strong will to cultivate immortality, came forward to testify, and collected and handed over all the evidence of Xuanji's hidden crimes, that the two were finally allowed to The dogs that bit each other's hair reluctantly let go.
Master Xuanji explained his life story, and then everyone knew that the stories he made up about the Mirror Heart Bodhisattva subduing demons and slaying demons had always had realistic prototypes.
However, for those prototype characters, Xuanji is the real devil.
For example, Zhan Zhao and Chu Qi heard for the first time during a pilgrimage the story of a Bodhisattva who personally transformed a witch.
The witch in the story is based on Xuanji's former first wife.
Back then, in order to practice the Tantric magic Huantian, he cruelly murdered his wife, and then completely lost his humanity. He also cut his own daughter alive who had witnessed everything, and made a personal magic weapon that has followed him for more than ten years.
I don't know if it was because he still had a trace of uneasiness and fear in his heart, so he deceived himself and made all the people he killed into various monsters in the story.
It was as if the false Mirror Heart Bodhisattva had really conquered demons, and he, the great mage, had always been at the forefront of the so-called "justice."
When taking Xuanji to the guillotine, Bao Zheng also wondered why he committed such a heavy blood debt and whether he had even a moment of regret.
However, Xuanji still just sneered at that time. He had no fear of death, let alone any regrets.
He said - "No reason, I just want to do it."
Perhaps, from the bottom of his heart, he never felt that he was at fault.
The only mistake was that he underestimated Bao Zheng and overestimated himself.
Oh, by the way, while escorting them back to Beijing, Chen Jing became addicted to drugs.
As a result, everyone saw with their own eyes that he went from being a sane person to tormenting himself to a state of madness - from the tears streaming down his face at the beginning to the uncontrollable excrement and urination later, and he could only mutter to himself that he wanted to take medicine. Stupid look.
Such a terrifying situation, anyone who has seen him in this form with his own eyes can't help but shy away from the drug.
The Holy Emperor was furious at all the scandalous things that happened in Jiangzhou. He was always tolerant and good-tempered, and it was rare for him to get angry in court.
An evil man can make waves in Jiangzhou. After being the local emperor for so many years, he knows that it is impossible to rely on just one Jiangzhou prefect!
Therefore, he issued strict orders to conduct a thorough investigation, which actually implicated a large number of high-ranking figures. It was just a struggle in the court, but it was just a digression.
However, Sima Qing also took the initiative to turn himself in and be brought to justice afterwards.
After completely getting rid of Afurong's control, his mind finally came to his senses after many years.
He knew that he had committed countless sins for the tiger over the years. Therefore, after he had menopause and lost his martial arts skills to win in the world, he went to the Ministry of Punishment to report.
Chen Jing and Xuanji were sentenced to death as the first offenders.
The prison director, Nian, was bewitched by Sima Qingnai, and later took the initiative to testify and surrendered voluntarily. Therefore, he was only detained in the sky jail for ten years.
It is said that before entering the Heavenly Prison, he disbanded Guishaling, dismissed all his brothers, and then donated all his wealth.
At this point, the Jiangzhou case is completed.
Bao Zheng was also successfully promoted to the governor of Kaifeng due to his thorough investigation of the case.
Ten years later, when Sima Qing came out of the prison, Zhan Zhao still counted on the time and went to pick him up.
He asked him where he wanted to go next. At that time, Sima Qing thought about it again and again, and finally said that he still wanted to go back to Jiangzhou.
In the blink of an eye, many years later, Zhan Zhao passed by Jiangzhou again because of handling a case.
On the low hill on the outskirts of the city, he saw Sima Qing again.
At this time, he had been ordained as a monk and had adopted several children. They all lived in a small temple on the top of the mountain.
"Although the temple is small, every brick and tile was built by the poor Taoist himself."
At that time, he straightened his back and proudly said to Zhan Zhao.
The once powerful leader of the Gui Sha Ling warriors has now become a hoe man carrying manure and growing vegetables.
Zhan Zhao asked him what god he was worshiping now, so Sima Qing mysteriously took him into the temple to see it.
I saw a statue of a woman made of clay placed in the middle of the temple's lobby, with flying hair hanging out of thin air, and large clusters of gold smiles blooming around her.
Zhan Zhao's eyes were hot, and for some reason he was about to shed tears.
"If Miss Chu Qi knew you were doing this, I'm afraid she would be unhappy."
After entering the door, Sima Qing turned around and took the incense. After bowing respectfully, he was not upset when he heard what he said. He just said solemnly:
"Of course I know that she is not a true god, but it is because of her that I can be free. Even though it was her unintentional act, I have to recognize this kindness and kindness. Besides, the scriptures she taught me back then were Really, over the years, I have often thought of it and my heart has always been calm."
"So, she is my god."
That day, Zhan Zhao stayed in this hall for a long time and did not leave until dawn.
Chuqi is Sima Qing's god, but to Zhan Zhao, isn't it the same?
…
It's just that he can never grasp the god in his heart.
The flawless moon in the sky only briefly illuminated his body, and then disappeared as soon as the sky broke.
It was like the heavy fog that spread silently on the streets of Jiangzhou back then. It was so rich and deep, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
