Chapter 15 Benzong's Tragic Experience of Cleansing Desire
Drenched in sweat, gritted his teeth and struggled.The nightmare is like a ferocious monster, regardless of whether it is in the dream or not, it is unwilling to give up the delicious food that can be obtained by rubbing hands, devouring, devouring, crushing, crushing... Nie Zhen knows that he is dreaming, but his body seems to be heavy... It was like being pressed by a ghost, and I couldn't open my eyes no matter what, so I could only watch with cold eyes, experiencing the pain I had experienced in the past again.
The midsummer in the dream was fleeting, and on the eve of the blood sacrifice day, in the early autumn, the weather turned cool.
Nie Zhen had just sent Qianyue away to look for Xiang Yan, but on the third night, she was "invited" into the palace by an imperial decree by Gu Pingjin.If there are no other changes, next month's Blood Sacrifice Day, he will be on the altar of the capital city, becoming a new generation of national teacher of Dachen, enjoying the worship of all people, and being close to the gods.
"Zongshang, would you like me to accompany you there?"
At that time, Nie Zhen was still living in Dong Cha's home.Dong Cha asked worriedly, and at the same time secretly pinched Shang Tongliang next to him, threatening him to ask for orders to protect His Royal Highness.
Shang Tongliang sat on the stool and dozed off. After being hurt by this cruel treatment, he said angrily: "You kid, you treat my waist as pork?"
In terms of fighting ability, Dongcha is absolutely no match for Shang Tongliang. Even so, Dongcha likes to recruit soldiers when he has troubles.
Nie Zhen couldn't laugh or cry, and comforted him: "Don't worry, since I have made an agreement with His Majesty on the blood sacrifice day, he should not embarrass me, otherwise there will definitely be trouble. Right now, Shenchi is in His Majesty's hands. Although I am the only remaining blood of the Nie family, If he suddenly pushes out a fake evil family manipulator, I have nothing to do."
So a trip to the palace is inevitable.
"Fortunately, there is still some affection between us."
The imperial guards searched very strictly, and these few low-end martial arts ministers might not have the ability to infiltrate the palace.A few months and Changle would be fine by his side...
"Be careful with that case."
Dong Cha took out a wooden brocade box: "Here is three hundred gold, you take it to reward the palace servants, don't lose your face."
The box was opened, and Shang Tongliang's eyes were blinded by the golden nuggets.Be good, this little dwarf is quite rich.
Nie Zhen frowned, but accepted it anyway.I don't know if the three hundred gold is all Dongcha's savings. He opened a tavern and tea house, and his income is mediocre.Forget it, just treat it as a debt of favor.
After becoming a national teacher, he will be able to pay off.
Then he followed Gu Quan, who delivered the decree, into the palace overnight, and went straight into Gu Pingjin's bedroom.
Gu Pingjin ordered the other palace servants to step down, leaving only Gu Quan to wait on him.
The dragon chair is luxurious, and the person on the seat is even more honorable. His eyes looking at the world glanced at the Nie Zhen under the steps, and he opened his mouth to say something that made Nie Zhen unable to keep his smile.
Nie Zhen stared closely at Gu Pingjin, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, trying to find a trace of a joke from his fair and delicate face that had been pampered for many years.
Under the light of the glazed palace lantern, that face showed handsome features and sharp edges and corners.
His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire did not slow down his speech. He even spoke with a pleasant expression, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter with Nie Chen.
Yet what he said was:
"Shen Jie" has a saying: "The teacher of the country is close to the gods and has no descendants." "This sentence, Ah Zhen, do you remember?"
The most noble classic of the Blood Cult was born in the Xie family, how could Xie Zhen not remember it.
He tried his best to calm himself down, and replied in a cold voice, "Of course I remember."
[The teacher of the country is close to the gods and has no descendants.Enjoy the worship of all the people, and pro-gods.Fengjie is on the side of the Qing emperor, and he abides by the law of the world. 】
Gu Pingjin got up from the high seat, walked down the steps slowly, approached Nie Zhen, and stroked the top of his head.
"The national teachers of all dynasties, there are very few people who can really do this!"
Gu Pingjin let out a long sigh, and turned to say: "I always think of the Qing emperor's side, the law of the world, and the enjoyment of offerings, but I don't even abide by the most basic religious rules. Ah Zhen, I really don't want you to fall into such a situation."
When the latecomers replaced the previous national teachers and tried to eradicate the remaining evils, they often announced to the world that the previous national teachers did not abide by the religious rules and gave birth to blood descendants.
Both Niezhun and Dipeng have left handles on this matter.
Gu Pingjin looked at the slightly trembling Nie Zhen under him with a complicated expression, and finally said his biggest purpose of summoning this time:
"I've ordered Gu Quan to help you cleanse your desire..."
The 13-year-old boy suddenly turned cold, he held Gu Pingjin's hand, and stared at him with his head up. All emotions, disbelief, panic, retreat, and bewilderment, poured from the bottom of his heart onto his paler and paler face.
Blood Cultists, the most devout ones, have a special method to achieve the same effect as castration in order not to defile the gods for their own desires, called clean desire.
Generally, one would drink a special decoction for half a month without swallowing other mortal food, and at the same time wash the body repeatedly to get rid of all the filth brought from the world.
Afterwards, believers who accept the ritual of purifying desires will not be able to bear offspring, and even the most common desires will be difficult to produce.
After Gu Pingjin finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, as if he had settled on some serious matter, and let go of the suppression of his subordinates.
"Don't think too much. Gu Quan, you send him back."
"Yes."
The only purple-clothed palace attendant left in the bedroom stepped forward and bent down to ask the national teacher to return to his original place.He is Gu Pingjin's confidant, and he is also 27 or [-] years old. He is eloquent and eloquent.
Gu Quan smiled and sent the stunned Nie Zhen back to the palace where he temporarily lived, before leaving, he tried to persuade him:
"Young master, you should think about it. After this bowl of medicine goes on, the power and wealth in the future can be said to be in your hands. If you don't agree, insist on it. This matter is deadlocked here. You and His Majesty are separated. If he finds another evil eldest son, second evil son, it's up to you. Your Majesty has missed his past friendship, so you think about it again?"
After Gu Quan left, Nie Zhen locked himself in the room, and after a few hours of silence, he burst out, his eyes were bloodshot in anger, and he chopped off half the corner of the table with his sword.
He trusts Gu Pingjin so much, he treats Gu Pingjin separately from other ancient monarchs!
He actually thought there was love between the two of them!
All this should not have been borne by him, a 13-year-old boy. None of the national teachers of the past dynasties would be forced by the monarch to become a high-ranking official!
In order to prevent him from seizing power for his blood relatives in the future, Gu Pingjin actually treated him so harshly!
Now that Qianyue is away, he has no reliable helpers around him, and even if he leaves the palace relying on the Martial Minister and loses Gu Pingjin's support, it will be difficult for him to justifiably become the Great Chen Guoshi!
Gu Pingjin was calculating, knowing his family's temperament, he refused to give up the position he could easily get, and cut the grass and roots to eliminate all possible dangers in the future.
How can he beat Gu Pingjin now?
It is impossible for him to give up now, there is no possibility of disembarking after boarding the ship, and death without a name will not resolve the hatred and grievance of the tragic death of his relatives.He couldn't be so weak, withdrawn, and expose the parts of himself that were afraid.
It's no good to leave at this time, stay?Accept fate?No, he won't accept his fate!In this life, he will never be willing to bow down to anyone again, he will become the only man-god in the world!Not Yuwan, not Da Chen, but, the whole world!
He swears!
I don't regret it in this life!Never regret it!
However, no amount of anger and ambition can change the current situation.
Early the next morning, he found Gu Quan at an appointment.
Seeing him standing in front of him, the other party breathed a sigh of relief, and warmly ordered a few stern-mouthed palace servants to bring the evil poison to a place that is convenient and clean.
Compared with the small house where ordinary believers salute, they have tried their best to appear luxurious and holy.On both sides are wooden frames filled with utensils, and in the center there is a pool filled with hot water, with clean water pouring in from above, and pipes at the bottom of the pool to drain outwards.Ordinary people can only use a bathtub for cleanliness, and the hot water is changed three times a day.
No matter how high the gold content of the decoction bowl, it can't cover up the powerless torture under the roof.
Nie Chen tried hard to restrain the urge to tremble all over his body, drank the first bowl of black soup, wanted to vomit immediately, but couldn't vomit anything, only felt his stomach turned upside down, and the pain was extremely painful.
He took off the white fox cloak, untied his belt, took off all the clothes next to his body, stepped into the small pool filled with hot water, sat down, and let the hot water wash his body known as the dirty Primarch.
The nine palace attendants, including Gu Quan, worked cautiously for more than ten days, not daring to close their eyes to guard the dangerous period, and finally passed the gate of Hades.
After so many meals without food, it is naturally uncomfortable.After half a month, no matter how good my body is, I have almost improved my body.
Half a month later, Nie Zhen was supported by Gu Quan, changed into a plain white robe, and went to greet Gu Pingjin.
The two seemed to be back when they met for the first time, politely and intimately.
Only the two of them know that the relationship between them has completely changed.
This time we met, Gu Quan still sent him out, and Gu Quan whispered:
"Your Majesty still misses you, and is afraid of embarrassing you. Those palace servants who knew about you and touched your body will never leak the news. In front of outsiders, you are still under this person and above ten thousand people." ..."
After going through this, Nie Zhen restrained many facial expressions, and just said gently: "Thank you, father-in-law, for letting me know."
Gu Quan said with a satisfied smile: "What is this talking about? As long as you can figure it out. This person, I'm afraid that he can't figure it out. It would be bad if he got into a dead end." He deliberately took a few steps closer to Nie Zhen, and whispered: "This It’s not that the family of national teachers can’t figure it out, so they have such disasters?”
