Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

The next day, I was laughing and playing with Suhui as usual, pretending to believe that I had returned to Xifengyuan, that terrible past was just a dream, and I wanted to get some words from Yuan Feibai, but unfortunately, Han Xiuzhu and Xie Sanniang and the others always have a bunch of flawless excuses to block my request, so I had to talk about deliberately proposing to Yuan Feibai during dinner, and I have had too many nightmares recently.I wanted to ask Mr. Lu to make a piece of silver jewelry to suppress the evil, but Yuan Feibai agreed with a straight face, thinking in my heart that you don't look like you at all.

I came to Lu Yuan's room again. He was fiddling with some blueprints. When he saw me coming in, he greeted me, "Xiulan, pour tea." That woman came over, I spilled hot tea on her hand on purpose, and apologized hastily, but she acted like nothing happened, smiling like a spring flower, I looked over from the corner of my eye, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything . I said my intentions, and Lu Yuan naturally agreed, and said: "When the matter of my dark warehouse slows down, I will wear a silver wristband for the girl." I smiled: "Dark library?"

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Recently Mr. Bai has been reading an ancient book on purple silk. He said that he wanted to build a dark storehouse under our Xifeng Garden according to the ancient book." I nodded: "Mr. Lu, do you still remember that we once researched the appearance guard wrist?" Lu Yuan's mouth trembled suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, a girl ran in, threw herself on his knees, hugged Lu Yuan, and pestered him to play. I patted her head: "Does Ah Nan know how to read?" The child thought for a while, nodded and clapped his hands: "Yes, yes."

It’s better to be a real person. I smiled and touched her small neck. Sure enough, she didn’t have any pulse. The child was only so old when she died. How did the mastermind control these dead people? Passing by the place where I fell yesterday, in the misty rain, I could clearly see the appearance of the passionflower, purple and white, enchanting and enchanting, with a strong fragrance. After dinner, I went back to my room, drank Xie Sanniang’s tea as usual, then bit my arm, woke up, followed the familiar route, and sneaked into the study room of Shangxin Pavilion. I looked at the bookshelf, and there was indeed a light purple ancient book The quality silk book is full of ancient characters.

Fortunately, when Yuan Feibai was studying ancient prose in Xifengyuan, I also served beside him, and I knew a few of them. I read a few lines, but there were more and more doubts in my stomach, hey!It seems to be a girl's diary, because the first few pages in it are nothing more than sad autumn moon and the feelings of a little girl. However, when the protagonist was fourteen years old, her life story began to undergo a great change. This woman grew up in troubled times. Her father and three sworn uncles belonged to a wealthy family in the Northwest. Finally, they couldn't bear the corrupt government and rose up. , After a thousand fortunes and hardships, conquered the world.

She and her younger sister became the two princesses of the founding of the country. She was named Princess Pingning, and her younger sister was named Princess Pinglu. She described in detail the grand scene and her excited mood on the day of canonization , because on the same day she was canonized as a princess, their father wanted to marry them. So she and her younger sister quietly hid behind the screen and peeked at the two horses her father had chosen for them after receiving the title. I watched and was also attracted by the story of the princess. Princess Ningchang and Princess Pinglu are so familiar. After thinking about it again, I suddenly remembered that when Yuan Feiqing was sixteen years old, she was married to Princess Shuqi, who was one year younger than him. Yuan Feibai smiled and said However, in fact, there have been two princess daughter-in-laws in the Yuan family clan, one is Yuan Feiqing's wife, Xuanyuan Shuqi of this dynasty, and the other is the first generation ancestor of the Yuan family who married the founding princess Princess Pingning. Think about it, yes, her name seems to be Xuanyuan Zili.

That's right, I still clearly remember that Yuan Feibai said that Ziqi Mountain Villa was actually the mansion given to Princess Pingning by the Taizu of Dongting. Strange, why is the hand tie of the founding princess in this fake Xifeng Garden? I continued to look down, her life was very happy, and Fuma was very considerate to her, until one day, everything changed... "Does it look good?" A voice came, and I fell to the ground in fright, only to see a dim light, Yuan Feibai was sitting in a wheelchair, and Suhui was waiting beside him, his face full of indifference. "I didn't know that the third master still likes to read girls' notes." I said coldly.

"Yuan Feibai" smiled: "I don't know that Mu Jin likes to read in the study at night." My heart skipped a beat, "Yuan Feibai" knocked on the wheelchair, and "Xie Sanniang" came in. Seeing where I was standing, she was startled, then trembled all over, and knelt there: "Master, please forgive me." I." "Yuan Feibai" blew the green flute lightly, and "Xie Sanniang"'s muscles exploded immediately, revealing steel nails, as did his face, and then he fell backwards and never got up again. "These dolls are not well done, Xiaoxin." "Yuan Feibai" sighed: "You must know, the leader doesn't like bad dolls."

"Su Hui" bent slightly and said: "Small capital crimes, let's catch a few more tomorrow, they must be healthy survivors." "Yuan Feibai" nodded, turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile, "I didn't want to go to bed so early tonight, so I just happened to accompany Mu Jin to read this book of Zi Li Shouzha." Suhui clapped her hands, and the two dolls got Xie Sanniang's doll out. My heart was like a raging sea, but "Yuan Feibai" continued on: "The owner of this handcuff is none other than Xuanyuan Zili, the founding princess. It is said that she is a rare beauty who is not only proficient in rhythm, but also She is good at painting and dancing. Now the emperor's favorite flying dance in the palace is said to have been adapted from the dances from Tianzhu. Such a golden branch and jade leaf should be able to enjoy all the good things in life even if she is married to the wife. , but judging from this book, it looks like it's a beautiful woman who is unlucky."

Indeed, I saw that afterwards, Xuanyuan Zili's marriage seemed to have changed, I swallowed: "Why, third master." "In the first year of the founding of Dongting, Emperor Taizu's subordinates were like a cloud of famous generals, each supporting their own self-respect," he sighed, and said, "Mujin, tell me, after every emperor conquers the world, the first thing to do is what,." "Naturally, it is to kill those courtiers who have made great achievements and consolidate their imperial power." I think my voice should be a little trembling. "Exactly. In fact, Emperor Shizu has three sworn brothers under his command. They can be called side-by-side kings, and they were also the three most powerful families in the whole country at that time. Mujin, remember what I told you before."

I nodded slightly: "Mujin remembers, it should be the Yuan family, the Ming family and the Sima family, right?" Yuan Feibai smiled: "Exactly, Emperor Shizu decided to deal with the biggest hero Sima family first. He quickly found the evidence of killing the nine clans of the Sima family. The Yuan family and the Ming family are not fools. So they contacted all the ministers to try to protect the Sima family, especially at that time, the members of the Yuan family also took a young lady of the Sima family, and the Yuan family ran back and forth for the Sima family, spending endless manpower, material and financial resources, and finally the Sima family just abolished the title. The ancestors of the Sima family set up ancestral precepts. In order to thank the original family for their great kindness, they made one of the descendants of the Sima family the ninth slave of the original family to repay the great kindness. The other clansmen then moved to the place where the barbarians blocked the poison, and lived in seclusion forever." "Then how did the Yuan family and the Ming family escape the catastrophe of genocide?" I wondered, "It must be that the Xuanyuan family has given up!" "Yuan Feibai" smiled: "They didn't escape, at least in their ancestors' generation, they didn't escape." "If an emperor has murderous intentions, he will never stop. Instead, with the passage of time and the passage of time, it will become more and more intense, becoming a needle in the heart and a stab in the throat." "Yuan Feibai" sighed He breathed a sigh of relief: "However, the relationship between the Ming and Yuan families is really good, and they advance and retreat together. The Ming family is quite smooth as an official, and the Yuan family is also extremely cautious in doing things, so that Emperor Taizu can't find an excuse." "Emperor Taizu secretly searched for criminal evidence. In order to delay their rebellion, he pretended to win over these two families on the surface, and married his two favorite daughters, the Founding Princess, to the next generation of Mingyuan two families. The patriarch, eldest princess Xuanyuan Zili married Yuanyuan, and Pingning princess Xuanyuan Zimi married Mingfengcheng." "Could it be that Emperor Taizu sacrificed his daughter just like that?" I said with a frown. "Yuan Feibai" just smiled: "Since ancient times, for the emperor's family, everything can be sacrificed, Hibiscus." "He" looked at me: "Tell me, Mujin, what would happen if you were Emperor Xuanyuan?" "No one is perfect, and gold is never enough. Naturally, I will try my best to find their weaknesses." "That's right, Yuan Nian was a martial idiot, but Ming Fengcheng was good at making money." He looked at me with piercing eyes: "Until one day, a monk in Tianzhu presented a scripture that is ancient and unparalleled. through." "There are two scriptures in this scripture, the Sutra of No Laughter and the Sutra of No Tears. They must be practiced together in order to comprehend their essence, achieve invincibility in the world, and achieve grand ambitions." Hibiscus can be omnipotent one day, what do you want to do most?" I smiled and shook my head: "The so-called grand plans and hegemony turn their heads into nothing. Being invincible in the world often makes you lonely. If you can live peacefully with your loved ones, it is not the greatest blessing for a person, so Mu Jin will not be obsessed with omnipotence. , and would not want to practice such martial arts." After hearing this, he stared at me blankly for a while, then sighed: "I always thought that Mujin was just a little girl who could play tricks, but it turns out she has great wisdom in her heart." I scratched my head, but still couldn't figure it out, how could I have any great wisdom, didn't I always get scolded by Jinxiu for not being ambitious?Just smiled and continued to listen to him. "Emperor Taizu knew the profound meaning of these two scriptures, but he gave the two scriptures as dowry to the two princesses, respectively, to the Yuan family and the Ming family." "Yuan Feibai" smiled. I suddenly realized in my heart, no wonder Yuan Qingwu said that the No Tears Sutra is a family heirloom of the Ming family, and the No Smile Sutra is a family heirloom of the Yuan family. "Emperor Taizu asked the two daughters to tell Yuan Linian that the Book of No Smiles is a martial arts secretary, and tell Ming Fengcheng that there is a huge treasure in the Book of No Tears." "However, the real No-Laughter Sutra is advanced in martial arts, but humans have become demons, and live by sucking human blood and energy. At this time, if you use the No-Tear Sutra to practice it, the Japanese nature will be restored. However, many people around me were slaughtered by the practitioners, and there is no joy in the world, so it is called the No-Laughter Sutra. The more you practice the No-Tears Sutra, the more stupid you will become, so many people cannot continue to practice, because they practice Sometimes it is either killed by the enemy, or dies without knowing how to take care of itself. If combined with the No Tears Sutra, occasionally those who practice it will change their temperament drastically and forget their past. There are many people killed by enemies, but the practitioners themselves don't know it, but they don't cry when they see the success." I was swishing cold in there. But he said with a smile: "Sure enough, within a year, in the year of Yuan, he suddenly fell ill and lost the ability to manage the family, so Xuanyuan Zili reported to the Ming Xuanyuan family on behalf of the Yuan family, and resigned from the post of commander of the imperial guards in the capital. Back to Xi'an, the ancestral home of the original family." "Finally practiced the No Laughter Sutra in the year of principle." He laughed and said: "The Emperor Taizu personally bestowed Ziqi Mountain Villa on Huashan Mountain for Li Nian to recuperate from his illness. Li Nian just returned to Xi'an and said that it was much better, but it is not suitable to see guests. However, Li Nian's illness became more serious. It’s so serious that he doesn’t know anyone except his beloved princess Xuanyuan Zili, and he has to constantly absorb other people’s skills in order to survive, and those who are drained of their skills often only save a layer of human skin.” I suddenly remembered that Yuan Qingwu once said that she would suck the blood of Yuan's family. At that time, I thought she was a lunatic. Now that I think about it, what she said was true at that time, that is to say, if Yuan Feibai hadn't killed Yuan at that time Qing Wu, Yuan Feibai and I will definitely be sucked dry. I blurted out, "In the early years, it was said that the ancestors of the Yuan family were the great heroes who killed the demon king in Xi'an, but the real story is that the demon king who everyone in Xi'an was talking about turned pale in the year of Yuanyuan, right?" "Exactly!" "Then what happened next?" "Li Nian has a deep affection with Xuanyuan Zili and his wife. Even though he knew that he couldn't control himself, even his own brothers and his own children were sucked dry, he never hurt the eldest princess. Built an underground palace that is solid and labyrinth-like. It was used to imprison Yuan Nian. Every day, different living people were brought in for him to eat. He practiced the Sutra of No Laughter. The palace can't control him anymore." "Then what to do?" I asked blankly. "The eldest princess knew that it was her father who harmed Li Nian and Yuan's family, so she decided to end this tragedy. She obtained a poison called Zhenlie from her good friend King Miao. Those who suffered from it would suffer from severe pain every day. Anyone who makes peace with the person who has been hit by the chastity cup will lose Sangong in the slightest, and die in severe cases." "The eldest princess is a daughter of gold, so naturally she doesn't want to share her lover with other women, so she drank the chastity cup herself in casual clothes, endured the severe pain, and led Yuan Nian into the underground palace, put down the dragon-breaking stone, and the two stayed together forever." Inside, and the descendants of the Yuan family named that palace Ziling Palace." I looked at him: "The Ziling Palace is the Dark Palace, right? The Dark Gods are actually descendants of the Sima family, and they stayed to guard the mausoleum for the original Ziling Palace, right?" "Mujin is so smart!" He clapped his hands, his face seemed to be full of joy, and there was an unpredictable light in his eyes: "Before the princess entered the Ziling Palace, she left her last words to her son, that the original family must serve Xuanyuan's nine sons." After the ninth generation, if Xuanyuan has no way, the Yuan clan can take his place." "What about the Ming family?" I stammered and asked. "The ancestor of the Ming family, Ming Fengcheng was the smartest in that era. He deliberately made the Emperor Taizu think that he was greedy for small profits and had no ambitions. But even so, Taizu was still worried, and Ming Fengcheng also understood, so After the Yuan family left the capital, the Ming family also retired and returned to the Soochow fief, and although the two families still served as officials, they were never reused." "The ancestors of the Ming family instructed not to read the No Tears Sutra, but the Yuan family buried the No Smile Sutra and the secrets of the Demon King forever in the Ziling Palace. People in the Dark Palace will always guard the Ziling Palace, and no one can enter the Ziling Palace. Mausoleum Palace. No one can enter the dark palace except the head of the family.” "The Ming family had a good relationship with the Yuan family for generations, but it was destroyed by Ming Ning's generation. Ming Ning wanted to glorify his ancestors. He originally proposed to Qin Xiangye on behalf of his son Ming Fengyang, but the Qin family chose the original Qingjiang. His father's heart, but Ming Fengyang took Yuan Qingwu from the Yuan family, and Yuan Qingwu encouraged his son to practice the No Tears Sutra." "Who are you, and why do you know so much? And where did you get this Zili book?" I asked in a deep voice.
