Under the moon, by the lake.
Han Yu walked with a sad expression.
He walked all the way to the lake, looked at the lake, and stood there for a long time.
But in the end, we still didn’t take that step forward.
When he came, he wanted to die, but when death came, he chickened out.
Then he squatted down and cried.
Crying so hard that my face was filled with tears.
I don’t know how long it took, but a slender and white hand gently patted his shoulder.
"Sir." A gentle, female voice sounded from behind him.
Han Yu was stunned when he heard the sound, wiped his tears a little, and then turned around.
Then he saw a beautiful woman wearing an orange-red coat with long hair shawl.
Although this girl has no makeup or hairpin, she is still extremely beautiful. She is just like a fairy in heaven, without any trace of the dust of the human world.
"Girl," Han Yu hesitated for a moment and was about to ask the other party something.
Suddenly the face of the woman in front of him began to change
Her eyes began to bleed.
Dark red blood gushed out of his eyes and slid across his white face.
Her beautiful face grew full of hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, a mane that was very close to the color of her clothes.
In the end, her entire head gradually deformed into a beast shape with a sharp mouth and long ears
"Why do you want to hurt me? Why do you want to hurt me?"
When Han Yu came to his senses, the fox-headed woman had already strangled his neck with both hands and kept shouting these words at him in a sharp voice.
"Uh-huh"
Han Yu woke up with a feeling of suffocation.
The moment he woke up, he felt that his whole body was covered in sweat, his throat was tight, and his heartbeat was racing as fast as a galloping horse.
It took him nearly two minutes to gradually calm down.
Then he looked around, and then he remembered that after leaving the palace and returning home, he did not go to bed because of too much worry and fear. Instead, he ran to the study and held a candle to think at night.
He wanted to figure out where he had made an oversight tonight, and he also wanted to figure out how the emperor would deal with him next.
Unexpectedly, in the process of thinking, he fell asleep on the bookcase without realizing it.
Of course, because there was something on his mind, he actually didn’t sleep long or deeply.
Han Yu had had the nightmare just now, more than once.
Twenty-six years ago, Han Yu betrayed the Great Immortal Queen Yuwei to Guan Hengzi in order to "step up in the world". For nearly a year, he often dreamed of this scene.
In his dreams, Han Yu would always go back to the Dongting Lake and see the fox demon who kindly helped him again. But every time, he ended up with the other side.Transformed into a terrifying appearance to demand his life.
This dream did bother Han Yu for a while, but that day is long gone.
If Han Yu was a kind and upright young man from a poor family when he was rescued by Yuwei Immortal, then Han Yu when he betrayed Yuwei Immortal was a man who was gradually infected by the officialdom but still had no conscience. Min, a person who knows regret and guilt.
So, now Han Yu has long been a person who doesn't care about anything except his own ambition.
In his opinion, none of his family members, students, colleagues, princes, and emperors are disposable. The importance of these people is only linked to their "use value."
Therefore, Han Yu, who suddenly dreamed of Yuwei Daxian demanding his life again tonight, did not arouse any feelings of "remorse for his repayment of kindness" because of what happened in his dream when he woke up.
He never thought that maybe this dream was the last chance given to him by God, a revelation that there was a power in the dark telling him that good and evil will be rewarded, and he will be safe when he turns around.
If Han Yu could regain some of his unexhausted conscience through this dream and stop in time, maybe he would still have a way to survive.
After all, the main problem at that time was Na Guan Hengzi, and Han Yu was bluffed by Lian Meng and finally failed to resist before surrendering Yuwei.
Now Yuwei Immortal has suffered the fate of her "fame deceiving her destiny" and lost most of her Taoism; Guan Hengzi was also deposed by the people of "Taihao Sect", and later she was still There is a calamity of double harmony to deal with
As for Han Yu, if he can sincerely repent, maybe there will be some kind of opportunity in the future that will allow him to redeem himself through something. Tamao might be able to successfully forgive him for his crime of repaying kindness with hatred.
Unfortunately, there are not so many hatifs in the world, and I cannot assume and develop them all by myself.
Right now, not only did Han Yu not think about "atonement" or "stopping", but he also got another kind of inspiration because of this dream.
Does he think this dream is telling me that in this desperate situation, only ghosts and gods can save me?
As the saying goes, seek medical treatment in case of emergency. The more Han Yu thought about it, the more reasonable it became. Then he called the servants who were standing guard outside the house and asked them to turn on the lights again. Before Han Yu fell asleep, all the candles in the room had burned out. Now the room was dark, and he ordered the servants to get the yellow paper. , incense candles, copper coins, and some cinnabar, he was about to "invite God" in the study.
You may be surprised to see this, Mr. Han can do this kind of harm
but in fact he doesn’t know how, he just “try”.
Of course, if he only has the above-mentioned things, there is no need to try them. He himself knows that there is no chance.
The reason why Han Yu had the confidence to try to "invite the gods" was because there was a very important thing in the study, a jade pendant left by Guan Hengzi.
Here we areOur book implies that this jade pendant is actually an ordinary jade pendant. It is not a magic weapon and is not even worth a few dollars.
It’s just that after Guan Hengzi deceived Han Yu, in order to make the "play" appear more real, he left this jade pendant to Han Yu and said, "If you don't become famous within ten years, , you can use this to settle accounts with me, but if you are indeed a very human minister in the future, this is the token that the old man has deposited with you. When I come to retrieve it, it will be your turn to repay your kindness. "
After farting, Guan Hengzi left without even mentioning "how to use" this jade pendant to settle the score with him in case the other party failed to succeed in his career; Han Yu was also confused at the time and didn't even mention it. I went to ask, so the matter just ended.
Later, when Guan Hengzi’s evil deeds were exposed and he was about to be killed by the old Taoists, he begged for mercy and swore an oath that he would never go to Han Yu to ask for anything again, and emphasized that Tamao wasn't dead yet, and he hadn't made any irreversible mistakes, so he saved his life, and was punished by losing his moral integrity and being expelled from the school.
So far, in fact, the jade pendant in Han Yu's hand has become completely useless, and he can just throw it away.
But from Master Han’s perspective, he began to have a prosperous career within a few years after betraying Yuwei Immortal, so he naturally felt that this was due to Guan Hengzi realizing the transaction between the two, so He had no doubts about Guan Hengzi's abilities and regarded this jade pendant as a treasure left by the Immortal family for good preservation, but in his heart he really didn't want the other party to come to him one day to "repay his kindness".
Tonight, in despair, I thought of Han Yu who prayed to gods and worshiped ghosts. Through the dream just now, I thought of the "Great Immortal Guanhengzi", and then took out this last "life-saving straw" .
Although this jade pendant is useless, Han Yu firmly believes that it is a magical thing. With the help of this trick, he may be able to contact Guan Hengzi or others. A certain immortal leader would be better than him just sitting there and waiting to die.
In a word, regardless of whether it works or not, just try the head office
So, after Mr. Han and his servants brought the materials needed to "please the gods", they sent them He sent them all out and ordered them to stay away from the study. They were not allowed to come close to eavesdrop. No matter what they heard or saw, they were not allowed to come in. I will go out by myself when the matter is over.
After finishing the explanation, Han Yu personally confirmed at the door that everyone had left and gone away, then returned to the house and began to "set up the formation."
Although Mr. Han is not familiar with the Qimen Bagua, Taoism and Immortal Techniques, he is still somewhat involved in the Three Changes. He can still draw a Bagua array on paper, so he follows the rules he learned in the village when he was a child. After watching the street performances of charlatans, I drew a Bagua array on yellow paper with cinnabar-ground ink, and placed a copper coin on each of the eight hexagrams. I lit a candle in the east, west, south, and west of the array. Another incense burner was placed to the north, three incense sticks were inserted, and finally the broken jade pendant was placed in the formation as an eye.
Don’t look at thisIt doesn't seem to be much, but doing this can exhaust Han Yu's body, which has been pampered and pampered for many years.
He set up the formation and rested for a few minutes, then came to the front of the formation, clasped his hands together, and muttered the words "The sky is spirited, the earth is spirited, the Supreme Lord has come to show his spirit"
Everyone
In this parallel universe, you can eat food indiscriminately, arrays cannot be arranged indiscriminately, and mantras cannot be recited indiscriminately.
Don’t look at those gangsters who are just pretending to be clever and performing on the street. They all know that they have to do it in broad daylight, and what they say is deliberately unclear and incomprehensible.
It would be better for you, Han Yu, on the eve of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, in the middle of the night, and when the dead animals gather in the capital, you are doing these key things alone in the study. Many of the settings in your formation are "wrong".
This is just like some people who clearly don’t understand computers but still like to DIY, adjust this and that, and eventually make a computer worth tens of thousands of dollars crash every day. If they mess around, something will happen.
Sure enough, Han Yu's actions not only failed to attract the "immortal" he wanted, but also attracted something else
An hour ago, the palace.
We know that Zhu Zhu was a relatively responsible emperor, so when he learned that Brother Sun was "illiterate", although he had already concluded about "Han Yu" based on his previous observations and reasoning, He was confident about the conclusion of "conducting Sun Yixie", but he still did not do anything to Han Yu on the spot. He just asked Han Yu to go back first, and then discussed the issue of "Sun Yixie is illiterate" with Shuangxie and Linghuxiang who were left behind. Repeated verification was conducted.
As a result, it took him half an hour to discover that the "Celestial Master" whom he had just canonized was not only illiterate, but also probably hypocritical, mentally retarded, stupid, forgetful, and timid. The negative attributes of being lustful, greedy for life, fearful of death, despicable and shameless are too numerous to describe.
But one thing is certain, this person, Huang Donglai, Linghuxiang, and others who are with them are indeed loyal ministers, and their primary purpose is to solve the crisis of the Thirteen Dead Animals. Compared with people like Han Yu who always put personal interests, party struggles, and power struggles first, these gangsters are more trustworthy.
So after tonight, Zhu Hao felt more relieved about the Hunyuan Star Gate and the others.
To make a long story short, after chatting with the emperor, Sun, Huang, and Linghu, accompanied by several eunuchs and imperial guards, prepared to leave the palace and return to the post house.
Coincidentally, halfway through, they met Fudozi who was also going back to the inn, and the four of them came to the same place.
Huang Donglai also asked, "Uncle, I haven't seen you all day. What are you and the Imperial Master busy with in this palace?"
"Let's set up the formation." "Fudozi had nothing to hide and replied directly. < /p>
Hearing this, Fudozi waved his hand, then stretched out a finger, "Just one."
"Oh, where is it?" Huang Donglai asked naturally.
Fudozi shook his head again, "No need to move, the formation is already there, we only need to use weapons to deploy it, use techniques to start it, and use people to control it."
" It was already there." Huang Donglai was still puzzled and muttered.
Sun Yixie reacted at this time, "Oh, could it be said that the architectural layout of the Forbidden City itself is based on a certain formation pattern?"
"Not bad." No. Dongzi nodded, "Three hundred years ago, when this city was built, some experts at that time considered that a catastrophe like today might happen one day, so they came up with this idea."
"Damn, haven't we already won?" Huang Donglai said, "With a formation as big as a city, no matter what the dead animal is, he will die."
"Alas" Fuzi sighed. He said, "Donglai, we cultivators must know eight words in our hearts. Do you know which eight words they are?"
Huang Donglai thought about it, and the first sentence that came to his mind was a movie The line from the old movie he had watched was "Uncle, isn't it true that in the vastness of the world, righteousness will last forever?"
After hearing this, Fuzi actually laughed, and then immediately replied, "No, it's Tao Gaoyi." "The devil is ten feet tall."
"Ah" Huang Donglai was retorted by these words, and at that time he wanted to complain, "Then let's go get a pedicure."
But after all, he did not dare to say it in front of Fudozi.
"You can live longer by remembering these eight words I said." Fudozi said, "As for the eight words you mentioned, just tell them to outsiders, we ourselves If you talk about it all day long, I'm afraid you won't be able to live long enough to achieve enlightenment."
They were walking and chatting like this, when suddenly
"Yeah" they couldn't move. I don't know what I noticed, but I stopped suddenly, frowned, and then quickly raised my hands to pinch my fingers. After finishing the calculation, I turned around and asked the person next to me, "What time is it now?"
The person on the side Several Forbidden Army eunuchs were also stunned by his question. However, as personnel on duty, they were quite sensitive to time. After being stunned for a few seconds, they quickly replied, "It's time to return to the Heavenly Master." tercss"cear",,
