Chapter 150: The little eunuch breaks the mystery and comes back to life
Zhu Linzong left the harem in anger and went straight to his official residence. He gathered a few of his capable soldiers and said:
"My master was killed by someone using sorcery. Except for Prime Minister Wang and the old thief, there are only two people with such a vicious heart. You should carefully guard the door of his prime minister's house. If there is anyone suspicious or someone dressed strangely,
When monks and Taoists are able to go out, they quietly follow me behind, and then report to me quickly, and they will be generously rewarded when they are done."
Although Zhu Linzong has a bad temper, he is very righteous and considerate of his subordinates. He neither bullies others nor plays official airs. Regardless of their superiority, everyone often gathers together to drink and play, so he is highly respected by his servants. When Xiaobing heard this,
They all said in unison:
"Don't worry, general. Even if a sparrow flies out of the old thief's door, we will not let it go. We will definitely follow it and find its nest. Just leave this matter to us."
Zhu Linzong arranged for people to go, but he did not dare to go back to the inner palace to guard his brother's body, fearing that the thief would succeed in his plot and escape through the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. What he wanted was to catch the thief and then take him to his brother's grave.
He was beheaded as a living sacrifice to avenge his brother's blood. Because his goal was too big, he had fought there, and most of the people in the prime minister's office knew him, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him, while he waited for news at home. Once there was news,
At the slightest sign of a disturbance, he immediately mounted his horse and chased after him. Forgive him that he couldn't grow three heads and six arms. Are you afraid that he would not be able to reach the sky or the earth?
The person who inquired about the information in the Prime Minister's Mansion got Zhao Xiaogao's note and immediately returned to the Mansion and handed it into the hands of Prime Minister Wang. After reading it, Prime Minister Wang was overjoyed and knew that the matter was settled. The letter sent by the Empress said that someone from outside Pan Gong's Mansion was coming.
At that time, the house was full of people, the old woman was wailing, Zhang Dandan and Wang Xiaowu were also crying quietly, and the palace maids and servants were all weeping secretly. From this point of view, the young eunuch has undoubtedly embarked on the road to hell.
Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but knock on the door of the darkroom. Guo Banxian heard the sound and cursed in the room:
"Where did you dare to step into my sacred place? Didn't you see that I was chatting with the Nanhai Immortal? If the god is angry, your life will be on the line and you won't retreat.
Down!"
Prime Minister Wang pressed his hot face against his cold buttocks, feeling very uninterested. He wanted to announce that "the little eunuch is dead", but was afraid of breaking the rules of the gods, so he said repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, little old man, leave now."
Because something big had happened, the morning court had been suspended that day. From time to time, good news came from the Queen's side. The young eunuch had been put into the coffin, and the place in the mourning hall had been prepared. There was an endless stream of people paying their condolences, wearing sackcloth.
There were also many mourners, and the inner palace was very busy, with preparations for a grand funeral.
Wang Shugui had never been so happy in his life. He flushed with excitement and walked around with his hands behind his back. He didn't care at all about the cold reception he received from Master Guo just now. The devil has magic rules, and the Tao has its own rules.
Taoism, humans and gods cannot share the same goal, he accidentally offended other people's altars, this is all a joke made by laymen, no wonder.
In the evening, Taoist Guo opened the darkroom and asked the children to bring all the used offerings, props used in the rituals, etc. to the courtyard and burn them on fire, before he came out to meet with the prime minister.
When Wang Shugui saw Guo Banxian now, his eyes couldn't help but look up a bit: This man has boundless magic power and can kill people, he is very human!
When Guo Daocheng came out of the darkroom, he seemed like a different person. His face was pale, his teeth were burnt, his hair was messy, and his clothes were disheveled. In addition, he was afraid of the light when he came out, and he even staggered when he walked.
of.
"Great Immortal, thank you for your hard work!" Wang Shugui stepped forward to greet me and said with a smile on his face.
Guo Banxian said disapprovingly: "If you eat someone else's food, you have to work for someone else. His little eunuch is lucky, so he has been able to live for half an hour longer."
"Guo Daxian's magic power is boundless, and the little old man is so impressed that he fell to the ground." In front of the true God, Prime Minister Wang did not dare to trust him.
"Is the money ready?" Guo Daocheng was most concerned about this matter.
"Okay, okay, one hundred thousand taels is not bad!" Prime Minister Wang said flatteringly.
"Well, you pack some things for me, pack the money, and hire some mules, donkeys, etc. for me, and I'll set off back to the mountains overnight."
After Wang Shugui ordered him to leave, he came back to persuade him to stay and said:
"Why should the Great Immortal be so impatient? It doesn't hurt to stay a few more days. It won't be too late to leave after the little eunuch is buried."
"Are you afraid that the little eunuch will not die?" Guo Banxian rolled his eyes upward.
"No, no, no," Wang Shugui hurriedly explained, "the little eunuch has now been taken away by the immortal. How can a person who has lost his soul be reborn?"
"To tell you the truth," Guo Banxian shook his robe and said in a dignified manner, "The little eunuch's soul is contained in a small gourd in my bag! If I don't untie the bag for seven days, I won't open it.
Gourd cover, his body will definitely turn into a pool of blood. I remember that he and I have no enmity. After five or six days, I will pull out the gourd cover and leave a whole body for him. It is considered my duty to post it.
A kind heart will accumulate great virtue once."
"Master, you must not show such kindness to someone like the little eunuch." Prime Minister Wang stopped him, "Let him turn into blood!"
"Why does the prime minister need to kill everyone if he can only kill people? We monks have always advocated compassion, and this kind of idea is unacceptable." Guo Daocheng said.
"It's not that I want to kill them all, nor that I'm not merciful. I want to punish the evil ones and do my best to eradicate them. I will never be merciful." Prime Minister Wang said angrily.
"I understand how you feel," Guo Banxian explained. "Since ancient times, I have never argued with you between Taoism and secularism. I will do as many things for you as you want. If the little eunuch survives one day, I will give you one hundred thousand taels."
I will return the money to you in full, and you don’t have to worry about it."
"Why am I worried about my money?" Wang Shugui said with lingering fear, "I'm afraid that if I beat the snake, it will be poisoned. If I survive, little eunuch, I'm afraid I won't live long."
Taoist Guo vowed: "Please rest assured about this. As I said just now, his soul is in my gourd. Are you still afraid that he will not go to heaven?"
"If you burn that gourd on fire, everything will be fine!" Wang Shugui pointed out.
"It's impossible, it's impossible!" Guo Daocheng shook his head and waved his hands, his pale face full of bloodshot eyes, and said angrily, "The soul is not the body, how can it be burned?"
"Master, don't laugh. I'm a layman and don't understand this." Wang Shugui said with an embarrassed smile.
"Stop talking, I'm on my way. Get me some food quickly, and finally choose a few people who know martial arts to give me a ride. I'll pay them their wages."
Prime Minister Wang couldn't help but think to himself: The Great Master was also afraid of meeting strong thieves on the road! He thought he had boundless power and could ascend to the heavens and the earth, but in the end he was still a mortal body. It seems that the practice of cultivation seems to be mysterious, but in fact it is exposed.
That's all. What he regrets now is nothing but his hundred thousand taels of money.
Someone was waiting for Guo Daxian and his children to eat. Wang Shugui called Shao Wanqiang into the secret room to talk and told him to find a place halfway to do this...
In the palace, funeral arrangements were held for the little eunuch with great fanfare. On the seventh day, Empress Dowager Tong followed the old monk's instructions before leaving and ordered people to open the coffin lid and lift up the black cloth covering the little eunuch's head. Not long after, only
Seeing the little eunuch moving, he slowly opened his eyes, breathed softly, and said:
"Who wakes up from the big dream first? I know the spring breeze."
