Chapter 4 Chapter Three

The fat father-in-law led the way, leading him through the moon gate and entering the elegant small garden. A beautiful moon hung obliquely in the starry sky, reminding him that it was the noble and beautiful princess who saw him alone. This eunuch who has served Wu Zhao for more than 30 years is by no means simple, especially when Long Ying overhears that he knows more about Wu Zhao than Princess Taiping, and reveals that if it is leaked out, he will end tragically. It has a special position in Wu Zhao's team.It can be imagined that for more than 30 years, the fat father-in-law stood firm on Wu Zhao's front and experienced fierce struggles in the court.

There is only one person who can kill the fat father-in-law, and that is Wu Zhao. He was only as tall as Longying's shoulders, with a chubby body and a big belly. His appearance was funny, but at the moment he seemed to be aroused by Princess Taiping, and his steps were heavy. When he boarded a small bridge across the stream in the center of the garden, he stopped suddenly, pressed his hand on the bridge railing, and looked down at the stream. The sounds of fish moving in the stream came and went, playing a harmonious natural movement with the chirping of insects and cicadas. Long Ying followed him and stopped, wondering what kind of tricks this eunuch was playing with a knife hidden in his smile.

The fat father-in-law said in a deep voice: "What I'm saying to you now should never be said, but I can't control myself. You know? Patience and self-control have always been my greatest strengths, so don't take my words as There is wind in your ears." After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at him. Long Ying looked at him with trembling heart, not because of his sharp eyes, but because of the helplessness and sadness contained in them.He felt that the fat father-in-law's eyes were sincere and undisguised. It was a kind of deep sorrow of the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the deep sorrow of things hurting other people.

Long Ying's scalp tingled, why did he look at himself like this?He and the fat father-in-law are neither related nor related, and they are irrelevant.It is conceivable that countless people in the palace died directly or indirectly at his hands, such a person would never show mercy. The fat father-in-law cast his eyes back on the stream, and continued: "Be obedient and cooperate! Remember to write as much as you want, and don't play tricks. If you ask Wu Zhao for anything, she will try her best to satisfy you, and even delay time. The moment when you die is when you die, there is no luck."

Long Ying said in amazement: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Wu Zhao what I said?" As long as Wu Zhao believes that the fat father-in-law calls him by his first name, the fat father-in-law's life will definitely be lost. The fat father-in-law looked at him, as if he had aged a few years, with a bitter expression, he shook his head and sighed: "It doesn't make any difference to me whether you tell her or not. Don't ask the father-in-law why, I won't tell you of." Then he looked up at the night sky, and said to himself a little: "I sacrificed everything for my ideals, ruthlessly eradicated dissidents, made the impossible possible, and seemed to have achieved complete victory and success. Looking back on the past, it just weighed down my heart. The blood and hatred, and there is nothing to be happy about in the future, and power can no longer bring me any feeling, so I can only eat and drink desperately, making myself fat like this."

After a short pause, he continued: "What I just said is the best advice for your current situation. Wouldn't it be good to delay the completion date by half a year? The most important thing is to live happily, beauty? I will supply as much as you want, There are all kinds of entertainment in Luoyang, and the luxury and obscenity of the life of the rich and powerful, I am afraid you have never imagined in your dreams. You can do whatever you like, and it doesn’t matter if you sing and sing every night. Life is long or short. For more than ten years, I have exchanged with you for half a year, and my father-in-law will not hesitate."

Long Ying faintly felt that he understood this high-ranking old eunuch, and that was a direct induction from the demon, but he couldn't say exactly what he understood.Frowning, he said, "If my father-in-law is really nice to me, why didn't you teach me how to escape?" The fat father-in-law stared at him and sighed: "There is no chance at all. As long as Wu Zhao sits on the emperor's dragon seat for a day, you are dead. Because you are the evil emperor, according to the law of the magic gate, whoever holds the township of the faction Pai Jiji is the suzerain of the sect. Du Ao is dead, it should be your turn. Long Ying! You are the last figure in the Demon Sect. If you kill you, the Demon Sect will be finished. Alas! I have said too much Now, the princess must wait until she gets impatient, so let me go!"

※※※ Stepping into the study, Longying's mood has not yet calmed down.What secret does the fat father-in-law know about Wu Zhao?To actually make Wu Zhao murderous against his loyal subordinates?The fat father-in-law suddenly felt emotional, he couldn't help himself, it must have been triggered by what Princess Taiping revealed to him, and he couldn't get rid of the relationship. The Zhaimen closed, without any preparation, Long Ying was dumbfounded. Princess Taiping, who has taken off her veil, sits on the other side of the central table, her delicate and beautiful face is as still as water.The black pearls in the slender phoenix eyes that flew obliquely into the temples were staring at him fiercely, as if they wanted to see him through.

Her beauty is extraordinary, and what impresses Longying the most is that although she is youthful, there are hidden traces of vicissitudes in the depths of her eyes, which is unique in her charm. Long Ying affirms that she is the most outstanding beauty he has met in his life until now. A mocking smile appeared on the corners of Princess Taiping's lips, and said lightly, "Sit!" Knowing that she is uneasy and kind, relying on her natural beauty to confuse and win over him, but Longying still takes advantage of it, and sits across the table from her in a daze, remembering that she is the noble princess of the royal family today, and she can be equal to her, It's quirky and exciting.

Princess Taiping sized him up for a long while, and responded to his indiscriminate staring salute, and said in surprise, "Is it because I didn't look carefully enough before, or your eyes have become different, why now I look at you in a different way?" How does it feel to be alone?" Long Ying was taken aback secretly, knowing that it was difficult to resist, the more she explained, the more suspicious she became.He hurriedly said: "Princess didn't come to me to talk about the world. Why don't you let the villain cut straight to the point and negotiate a deal."

Princess Taiping smiled coquettishly, and pursed her lips and said, "It's the first time I've heard you call yourself a villain, and you must be arrogant and respectful. It's definitely not a good way. Let's talk! Let's see if we can discuss it." Longying returned to his true colors, and said with a playful smile: "The princess can definitely do it, the difference is just nodding and shaking her head." Princess Taiping became wary, frowned and said: "Is it called straight to the point?" Long Ying said in a serious manner: "The first way to get straight to the point is called a demonstration. The room is full of books, smelling my bookworm's excitement, and the princess's clean... Hey! It's nothing. The princess chooses a volume at random and specifies the number of pages." Princess Taiping Bingxue was smart, she understood it, and knew that Long Ying would not be so easy to get along with, half surprised and half happy, she went to the bookcase on the left and chose an old and yellowed manuscript of Taoist alchemy, opened it casually and placed it On the tables in front of Long Ying. Longying concentrated on watching half a cup of hot tea, then turned the copy and sent it back to the princess.The latter couldn't believe it: "The two pages add up to nearly a thousand words, do you really remember it?" Longying closed his eyes, and said: "Gods have a scene that will emerge, and they also have a way to emerge. How to refine the gods, how to return the emptiness, human beings depend on each other, long-term victory..." Princess Taiping was overjoyed and said: "Enough! Enough! Believe it or not. Not only can you see ten lines at a glance, but you can remember every word. No wonder you are willing to burn the secret scroll." Long Ying proudly said: "I can silently record the Dafa of Planting Demons verbatim, but it must be after I visit the Holy God in Luoyang." Princess Taiping said displeased: "How do you know if you will go back on your word then?" Longying backed down and said: "I can record the first chapter first, so that the Holy Spirit can read it with joy, and then the princess will ask the Holy Spirit for me." Princess Taiping frowned and said, "Is this what you want?" Longying said: "It's a prerequisite. Princess, don't lie to me! How can there be such a thing as enjoying all the wealth and glory? The moment the project is completed, it will be the time of my death. Even the princess can't change it. The Holy Spirit will never let another Those who know Dafa are alive. So I settle for the next best thing, from the endless glory and wealth to the momentary joy, and I only hope to kiss the princess... ah!" With a sound of "pa", there were five clear fingerprints on Long Ying's left side. Long Ying looked at Princess Taiping, whose almond eyes were wide open, and her anger was still lingering. She stroked her cheeks that had started to become red and swollen, and said with a wry smile, "It hurts a little bit, and finally the princess has touched it." Princess Taiping said angrily: "Say it! Ever since I was born in this palace, no one has dared to say a single word of frivolity to me. You...you...don't want to live!" Longying laughed and said, "I really want to live, but I just can't!" Princess Taiping shouted: "Get out!" ※※※ The fat father-in-law who was waiting outside the study door came up to meet him, and said angrily, "Why did you offend the princess? The applause can be heard hundreds of miles away, show me." Longying lowered his hand caressing his face, and said dejectedly: "Almost disfigured." Seeing the astonishment in Fat Eunuch's eyes, he said in amazement: "Will it never recover?" The fat father-in-law grabbed his arm, walked away the same way, and said in a low voice, "On the contrary, it recovered too quickly. At the beginning, there were still clear bloodstains, but soon the bloodstains faded, as if no one had slapped you before. .Fortunately, the princess chased you out, it would be terrible for her to see." Long Ying knew what was going on, so he was at a loss for words. The fat eunuch dragged him back to the small bridge just now, stopped, grabbed his hand, burst out with true energy, and searched his meridians with feminine and delicate true energy like the one in the barren valley stone house, more meticulous than that inspection , After a while, he let go and said in disbelief, "You still don't have any martial arts. The Dao Heart Demon is really extraordinary. According to my opinion, you have reached the realm of 'Magic Bonding'." Long Ying said in astonishment: "How could father-in-law know how to form a demon?" The fat father-in-law didn't answer him, he pondered for a moment, and then said in shock: "You must run away!" Longying said happily: "Why did the father-in-law suddenly change his mind? Didn't you say that I have no chance? You...why are you willing to help me?" The fat father-in-law stared at him, with a determined look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Because you are the last hope of my holy gate. The situation has not changed. In the end, you will not escape the fate of being caught in the net, but you can't." Utilize the supernatural powers of the demon species and buy as much time as possible, as long as you practice to the level of becoming a demon, you will greatly increase the cost of dealing with Wu Zhao." Long Ying let out a breath of cold air, and said in disbelief: "Elder-in-law is actually from the Demon Sect, then she...she..." The fat father-in-law sighed deeply, and said bitterly: "If you know what you have in mind, you don't need to say it, and don't tell others casually. The arrangement of her birth is too ingenious, and everything is well-founded. Alas! When the late emperor was seriously ill, she I thought it was just a show effort to send out the "Smite Demon Call" to crusade against the Holy Gate. The momentum of thunder will uproot the Holy Gate." Then he sighed and said, "The Yin Gui sect that she and I belonged to bear the brunt of it. Since Wu Zhao knows all the six ways of the two sects of the Holy Sect and has overwhelming strength, who is the opponent of the Holy Sect? She is very ruthless! Really ruthless !" Long Ying asked: "Did your father-in-law not object?" The fat father-in-law said dejectedly: "She is waiting for my objection so that she can find an excuse not to kill me. She has always had a special feeling for me. I had no choice but to play a fool and praise her for being willing to lose her arm for the overall situation. But she is more powerful than anyone else. Understand me, just like I understand her. I volunteered to accompany you this time, and she didn't want me to suspect that she had the intention to kill me, so she agreed." Long Ying said anxiously: "So if my father-in-law helps me escape, how can I hide it from her?" The fat father-in-law said indifferently: "Her mentality is very subtle, and she will leave the vanity of killing the last person of the Holy Gate to me, in order to thank me for risking my life to help her over the years. Maybe I guessed wrong, but what's the big deal Yes? Father-in-law is seventy years old, so what's the difference between dying at seventy-three and seventy-four?" Long Ying said: "Why don't father-in-law run away with me?" The fat father-in-law smiled wryly: "If I were your age, I would go with you even if I knew I was going to die. Now I will send you to that rascal Junchen, and I will talk to you after I think it over." ※※※ After Lai Junchen received Long Ying from the fat father-in-law, he put on the posture of an old friend and took him to a small hall in the west of the house to eat and drink. Long Ying has not eaten half a grain of rice for more than ten hours, of course you are welcome. He ignored the bragging history of brothels by the head of the cruel official who accompanied him, and became a little interested when he talked about the style of female Taoists prevailing in the west and east of Chang'an, Luoyang, and asked, "Then the Taoist temple has become a brothel?" Lai Junchen showed an ambiguous smile, and said bemusedly: "It's not a Taoist temple, but a female temple. It's very different from the brothel. Brother Ying will know it once you try it." Long Ying was no longer interested in listening, and after eating, he was detained in a small independent stone house in a nearby garden, with only one bed, a chamber pot, and the only door with a peephole, through which someone would observe from time to time.The outside of the house is heavily guarded, and the lights are not allowed to be turned off inside the house. The guards are impeccable, but it is quite good for a prisoner to do this. He was lying on the bed, his thoughts fluctuating, sorting out his overwhelmed thoughts due to too many things happening. Back then when the news came that all the Yin Gui faction was being punished, Du Ao, who had always been careless about Wu Zhao's "Smite the Devil", woke up with a start, knowing that a catastrophe was imminent. Although the Yingui Sect declined after the legendary figure of the Demon Sect, Hou Hou, disappeared, but the foundation was deep. Centipede insects, dead but not stiff, suddenly appeared in Houhou, returned the "Tianmo Treasure", and then formally broke away from the Yingui Sect However, the Yingui faction is showing signs of resurgence, but it is unbearable to be hit by Wu Zhao's title of "Swinging Demon Squad". It also puzzled Du Ao, why Wu Zhao could easily do what the imperial court and martial arts have always wanted to do since the Han Dynasty?What's more, since Li Shimin ascended to the throne of God, all the demon sects have been more cautious than ever before.The Holy Emperor's Mansion is relocated every three years. Du Ao finally decided to flee overseas to avoid the limelight, and together with his seven apprentices and Long Ying, he traveled day and night, sneaked to Jiangling, bought a boat, and sailed eastward. Before he passed Liyang, he found the enemy ship.Du Ao called Longying into the cabin, and said solemnly: "Xiao Pu! Now I will hand over to you the scriptures of our sect wrapped in a tarpaulin. For this, you must swear the holy sect curse and never open it. Let the other party do what they want Da Guang, I don’t even know you exist. I will show up on the deck with my brothers later to attract attention. You take the opportunity to slip into the water and dive to the right bank. According to the picture I gave you, go to the designated place and wait for us for five years If you don’t see me within the time limit, I will burn the things I gave you. But if everything goes well, we will come back to meet you after two or three years of delay overseas.” These words seem to have been said yesterday, but in the blink of an eye it is now five years later.The fat father-in-law is right, there is no difference in the length of time. After Longying landed, he fled desperately, thinking that he was out of danger, and the journey was boring. In addition, he loved books like his life, and he thought that the oath he was forced to make could not be counted. For example, the debt owed by him was not true Owing money, how can it resist curiosity.I also thought that reading a page should not be considered a crime, just to let myself know what I am carrying. Unexpectedly, when he opened the first page, what attracted him was not the original ancient scroll, but the three sentences written in cinnabar, "Don't read my annotations, because I don't want you to repeat the mistakes I made to Yutian, and fall into a place of eternal doom" talk. For any other demon sect master, pedestrians would definitely stop when they saw the warning to Yutian.Unexpectedly, Longying was in the middle of his arms, and he deceived himself and thought: "Just look at Yutian's annotations without touching the original text, there shouldn't be any problem." It's okay not to look at it, but it's out of control once you look at it. Xiang Yutian is a person with superb insight and unconstrained thinking. His extensive knowledge, travel range, and broad-mindedness are beyond ordinary people's imagination. It is amazing how he can experience so many people and things in a short life.Du Ao's knowledge is quite good, but compared to Xiang Yutian, it is the dispute between Yinghuo and Haoyue.What excites Longying the most is that after reading Xiang Yutian's hundreds of thousands of small characters written in cinnabar throughout the book except for the sixth chapter, Longying sees from a few hidden hints that he is the first person in the history of the Demon Sect. A person who has practiced the magic method. At this time, he didn't care about other things, he forgot everything, and studied hard in a daze.Subtly, Xiang Yutian dominated the development of his temperament. Thinking of this, the sound of footsteps came to the eardrum from outside the house through the door. Who came to disturb his lucid dream at such a night.Could it be that Princess Taiping changed her mind and apologized to him?
