The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 114 Three points each pull, the road is covered by heavy snow

Gu Zizhan, who was already quite surprised by Chu Lan's sudden change, was even more surprised.

She calmed down, and was about to ask Chu Lan what happened, but she saw Chu Lan hurried forward and tore off the blood jade around her waist, just like that.

This time, Gu Zizhan also felt something was wrong.At the same time, panic and anger suddenly rose in my heart.

Her complexion was a little gloomy, and she suppressed the burning flame in her heart, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?" As she spoke, she stepped forward subconsciously, trying to take back the blood jade that Chu Lan was holding in her hand.

Chu Lan withdrew her hand, held the blood jade firmly in her hand, and avoided Gu Zizhan who rushed over.At this time, her complexion also sank.

Frowning, Chu Lan looked at Gu Zizhan with a strange gaze.After a while, she took a half step back and said coldly, "Who are you?"

Gu Zizhan was provoked by Chu Lan's cold and unfamiliar eyes, a huge pain spread in his heart, and the pain in his head was like a burning fire.She opened her mouth, the words she wanted to justify and the words she wanted to ask for help were blocked in her chest, but she couldn't make a sound.Slowly, blood turned in her eyes, and the malice and resentment welling up in her heart almost overwhelmed Gu Zizhan.

The next moment, Gu Zizhan suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

After that, Chu Lan saw Gu Zizhan's body softening slowly, and half of the blood in her eyes faded. Then, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and the reluctance in her eyes was covered by the slowly closing eyelids.Right in front of Chu Lan's eyes, Gu Zizhan's head was thrown back, and the world was spinning, dissipating all consciousness.

In the last trance, I fell into a familiar and warm embrace from behind.

The 26 years of Tianshun is destined to be a year full of twists and turns.

In mid-November, the political situation, which had finally stabilized, was once again turbulent.

There was news from the palace that the successor prince Gu Che was seriously ill and passed out.

All of a sudden, this news shocked the ruling and opposition parties.This time, there is no need for someone like Qin Tianjian to stand up, many people have automatically formed the idea that Emperor Tianshun is really destined to bring evil.Otherwise, why did the step-prince, who was alive and kicking and tossing the courtiers enough, suddenly became seriously ill and couldn't wake up?

Soon, the thoughts that the courtiers dared not speak out turned into rumors.The rumors came quickly, no one knew where they came from, but within half a month, they had already swept across the entire Dazhao.

At the same time, in the cornucopia of the capital, in the early morning of a certain day, a letter was received that was still damp from the dew.

When this letter was delivered to Chu Lan, Chu Lan had just received the news from King Fu—his old friend known as the "crazy Taoist" had returned to Beijing yesterday.But now he still needs to retreat for half a month to deduce the celestial phenomena.

Chu Lan frowned imperceptibly, then carefully put away the letter, got up and walked to the bedroom.

In the dormitory, Gu Zizhan was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, he looked like he was seriously ill.

Chu Lan stepped forward, stretched out her fingers to smooth the wrinkles between her brows, and then pressed her forehead with the palm of her hand. Then, she stayed on Gu Zizhan's cheek for a moment before slowly withdrawing her hand.Seeing this scene from a distance, Jian Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Seeing Chu Lan feel Gu Zizhan's pulse, and then gently put her arm back into the brocade quilt, she sat quietly beside Gu Zizhan, looking at her well.Jian Wei felt a little astringent, couldn't help but stepped forward, and called softly: "Miss, you should also take a rest, don't tire yourself out."

Chu Lan didn't look back at her, but just stared at Gu Zizhan for a long time, and then said slowly, "It's okay. The news from Li Dai, you go back for me."

Jian Wei nodded in response, and asked again: "Miss, he also asked about my uncle's body. These rumors are so fierce these days, they are inevitably a little uneasy."

Chu Lan's eyes moved away from Gu Zizhan's face, and he floated into the distance, and his voice was a little ethereal: "You tell them not to worry, now I have found a way to save Zizhan's life. The thing my master left behind, when It's really useful." There was a bit of self-mockery in the words: "It seems that sometimes people shouldn't be too suspicious."

Jian Wei didn't dare to ask any more questions, and cautiously comforted Chu Lan a few words, then retreated with a worried expression on his face.

When the palace gate was closed, Jian Wei vaguely heard a faint sigh coming from inside.

Jian Wei felt bitter in her heart, and she had nowhere to relieve her heavy emotions, no one to talk to.I suddenly thought of a person, and thought that although that person had a bad temper most of the time and was full of sarcastic remarks, when he was really confused, he patiently and gently explained it to me.

I miss seeing Wei for a while.

Not long after Jian Wei left, Gu Zizhan on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

The moment Chu Lan saw her wake up, his eyes lit up suddenly, but when he saw Gu Zizhan's expression clearly, his eyes sank again.There was some politeness and alienation in the tone, but what came out was a declarative sentence. "you're awake."

Gu Zizhan nodded, looking at Chu Lan with a hint of joy, then shook his head and said with some self-mockery: "Yes, I've let you down. I'm the one who woke up this time."

Afterwards, Gu Zizhan regained his composure, propped himself up, took a box of chessboards from the low table beside the bed and put them on the bed, and said to Chu Lan: "After all, you are not the Youer I miss in my heart. , It’s hard to say who will suffer more. In that case, can you talk with me, Your Highness the Crown Princess?” Her gentle voice was slightly hoarse, and she had a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.

Chu Lan nodded and said, "Okay."

**********

On the first day of November, the capital ushered in the first snow in winter.

It snowed heavily this time, needless to say in Gyeonggi, even the Hedong Prefecture and Hexi Prefecture were covered with snow.

The people who have worked hard for a year all say that the auspicious snow heralds a good year, and Dazhao is now experiencing many disasters. Perhaps it is because of the auspicious snow that God has shown that it will be extremely prosperous.

However, seeing the heavy snowfall that has not stopped for half a month, the government and the public are panicked again.If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a snow disaster.

Some people couldn't help but wondered in their hearts, could it be that His Majesty really lost his destiny, which led to a turning point in Dazhao's originally prosperous national fortune?

The rumors that had dissipated had once again made a comeback.

This time, the attack was even more violent.

At this time when rumors were raging, a light car and soft sedan drove out from the side door of the palace in a low-key manner, and headed for Baoguo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Baoguo Temple is located in a mountain forest. The soft sedan car goes to the foot of the mountain and stops at the mountain gate.In front of my eyes, the road up the mountain was covered by half a foot of snow.Chu Lan got down from the sedan chair, her vision was obscured by the goose-feather-like snow in front of her, and she felt that the ancient temple hidden in the deep mountains seemed to be separated by the heavy snow, clearly dividing the world and the mundane world.

Snowflakes kept falling on Chu Lan's shoulders. Chu Lan tightened the neckline of her cloak, and said to Jian Wei, who was by her side, "Let the car stop here, and we will walk up the mountain."

Jian Wei seemed to disapprove, but was stopped by Chu Lan's cold expression, and swallowed those words that wanted to dissuade.

Chu Lan traveled extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, she was already outside the gate of Baoguo Temple.

Those accompanying guards were left halfway up the mountain, and Chu Lan took Jianwei alone, and entered the Baoguo Temple, which was even more solemn against the backdrop of white snow.

Led by the little novice to a Zen room in the backyard, Chu Lan stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door a few times, from which came a voice full of air, "Please come in." Chu Lan walked in alone.

There was only one person in the meditation room, kneeling on the futon with his back to the door.He was wearing a yellow cloth monk robe, but when viewed from the back of his head, he was wearing a Taoist bun.Needless to say, this person is Chu Lan who has been waiting for a long time, the crazy Taoist Huang Xuan.

Chu Lan walked behind him to salute, and said, "Master Huang."

With his back to Chu Lan, Huang Xuan got up slowly, his legs seemed stiff after kneeling for a long time, and he staggered a little when he got up.Chu Lan stepped forward and gave him a hand.

Huang Xuan turned his head sideways and thanked him with a slight smile.

Only then did Chu Lan see Huang Xuan's appearance clearly.But just this one glance made Chu Lan feel suspicious.Why haven't we seen each other for half a year? The energetic old man who followed Fu Wang last time is now so old and thin that he looks like this!

She lowered her eyebrows slightly, hiding the doubts in her heart.

With Chu Lan's support, Huang Xuan sat back in the chair. With a kind smile, his eyes were hidden with sharp light, and he scanned Chu Lan up and down.

Afterwards, Huang Xuan said: "After all, Feiyou, you should still call me Master Uncle."

Chu Lan was shocked in her heart, and there was a rare touch on her face.

The smile on Huang Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "Your master and I are brothers, and I have been rebellious since I was a child. When the Tianjimen was wiped out by Jinshang, I happened to go down the mountain privately, and because of this, I escaped a catastrophe. .”

Chu Lan also quickly calmed down. At the same time, she felt defensive in her heart and asked him, "How did you know that I would be related to Tianjimen?"

Huang Xuan laughed, pointed to the gloomy sky outside, and said: "All predestined principles are hidden in this sky phenomenon."

Afterwards, Huang Xuan's face became serious, and he continued: "Now Ziwei's fate is different, and it has reached the most critical moment. Someone intends to use the technique of stealing the sky and changing her life to reverse Zizhan's fate and damage her Yuan. God. Unfortunately, I used your fate to deduce it not long ago, only to find out that you are also involved in this conspiracy."

"Although you were unintentional, in the end, the most critical link was closed by you yourself."

Chu Lan maintained a calm face, but her hands in her sleeves were already clenched into fists.It took almost all the strength in her body before Chu Lan restrained herself from showing herself.

If Huang Xuan hadn't disclosed his identity, Chu Lan still had some trust in him.And when he bluntly stated that he was a member of the Tianji Sect, he had to think carefully about the purpose of everything he did.

After a long time, Chu Lan said calmly: "I don't know where seniors learned about these things, but remember that disasters come from the mouth. Zi Zhan is the prince of the country, seniors should not associate her with these past events."

Huang Xuan didn't care, "The changes in the Tianji Sect have long been foreshadowed by the celestial phenomena. My senior brother and I are also aware of this. His death and my life are all predestined by heaven. Our Tianji Sect pays attention to the destiny. Everything should follow the law of heaven, and the way of heaven cannot be violated. Therefore, I have no complaints about the fact that the people of the Tianji sect died with their lives."

"As of now, he loves to force everything in his life. In his hands, the decline of the country's fortune and the death of his descendants are also his own destiny. The blood stained on his hands will be repaid in the next life. Therefore, You don't need to be wary of me."

"Furthermore, Tianji Sect has always taken it as its mission to protect the way of heaven. If you save one person, you should fulfill the righteousness of one person, and if you live a day, you should fulfill the responsibility of one day. If Ziwei's destiny is lost, the dynasty will be destroyed at least, and at worst , the world is in great chaos, and the people of Li are falling into the sea of ​​suffering in the chaotic world. The old and the dead can still distinguish clearly which is more important."

Afterwards, the smile on Huang Xuan's face deepened, "The last point, the only one who can save Zi Zhan right now is the old man."

Chu Lan hesitated.

Huang Xuan laughed out loud. "Why, Feiyou, now that things are going on, are you still reluctant to take out that blood jade that can destroy the soul?"

Chu Lan couldn't hide it any longer, and the look of horror was undoubtedly revealed on his face.

After Chu Lan left, Huang Xuan looked at the crimson blood jade in his palm, sighed, and then shouted to the inner room: "Come out!"

A Taoist priest in a gray robe came out with a complicated expression.

He said to Huang Xuan, "Uncle Master."

Huang Xuan looked at him, hating iron for being weak and cursing: "You, you, it's all because of you!"

The gray-clothed Taoist had a dejected look on his face, a man who had already passed the age of knowing destiny, was forced to cover his face and weep unceasingly at Huang Xuan's words.

Huang Xuan was also sad in his heart, stepped forward to pat him on the back, and sighed: "If you are too obsessed, you will end up harming others and yourself! None of us can save her."

The gray-clothed Taoist raised his head slightly, with a mournful expression.Half of his face was illuminated by the light leaking in from the window, and it turned out to be Daoist Yuanxu.
