Chapter 116
Chapter 116
Soon, the common people of the rebel army, Gu Quan, made a public appeal to the world.
The call to action has something to say.
Emperor Tianshun has been in power for 26 years. Although he made great efforts in his early years, he made the government stable and the people's lives improved.But for the dignitaries in the court, they only knew how to appoint them but did not know how to control them. Some people who were greedy for power were allowed to stay in high positions for many years, cultivate party members, and control the government.The son of heaven is old and suspicious, and he likes to be jealous the most. He only listens to the good words of flattery and flattery, but ignores the aspirations of the people.As a result, God sent down punishment, and disasters continued.Even Emperor Ziwei came to save the world before he was born, but fell into a crisis.If it continues like this, the fate of the Dazhao Kingdom will be in jeopardy, and it will be difficult to maintain the day of peace.
Now they raise troops, not to fight for power, but just to let the emperor follow the way of heaven, put the people first, be close to virtuous officials and distant villains, change the past and reform the new, and inherit the principles of heaven and the hearts of the people.At the same time, it is also emphasized once again that the king is like a boat, and the common people are like water.Water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat.
In the end, the proclamation directly pointed out that in addition to severely punishing the veterans of Chu Taifu's party, he also implored the emperor to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.One is to avoid continuing to occupy the throne and suppress Ziwei Emperor Star's fortune, causing the prince to be seriously ill and difficult to recover; two, the position of the Lord of the World should originally be occupied by a man of destiny.
The way to be a king is to inherit the principles of heaven from above and caress all people from below.
If Emperor Tianshun agreed to these conditions, Gu Quan voluntarily dismissed his subordinates and apologized with death.
The entire article did not mention the events of the previous dynasty, but repeatedly pointed out that Emperor Tianshun was suspicious, and in Gu Quan's tone, he promised peace.
After this call to arms came out, because of its gorgeous and catchy rhetoric, it soon spread to the world.So far, there have been different opinions about the cause of this military disaster.
Indeed, until now, these rebels have not played the banner of the former Chen family.There is no way of knowing whether the collusion with the previous dynasty is a fabrication or a fact.In addition, Gu Quan even used his life as a bargaining chip later on, which made people wonder if it was true that he did these things, not just for himself.Is it true that these successive years of disasters were caused by the emperor's failure of virtue?It has always been the last thing to need reason.
Afterwards, Daoist Yuan Hui and Chen Zhong restrained those frontier soldiers, and put on an appearance of Qiu innocent and strict military discipline.
The four words "Speak for the people" even became the slogan that the rebels often shouted when they crossed the state.
In addition to those rumors about Ziwei Xingjun, it is also said that Ziwei's spirit was suppressed by the current emperor, Emperor Tianshun killed a prince, if he did not abdicate, I am afraid that this rare man of destiny Ziwei is also doomed.Gradually, although the common people always regarded these rebels as rebellious officials and traitors, most of them wavered when they said "abdicate to let the virtuous".
Daoist Yuan Hui's goal was half achieved.
**********
After seeing Huang Xuan that day, when Chu Lan returned to the palace, it was already dusk.
She went to Hekun Palace to see the queen and Manman, and she got up to leave after not sitting for long.After all, Gu Zizhan was still in a coma, and the queen knew that she was worried, so she didn't keep her any longer.
When she returned to the East Palace, entered the bedroom where Gu Zizhan was lying, and waved away a group of palace people, Gu Zizhan quickly opened his eyes.
There was no need for Chu Lan to ask, she answered first, "It's me." Then she smiled and asked: "Today is going well, do you want to talk about it again?"
Chu Lan's eyes darkened, she shook her head, "No need."
A bit of distrust flashed in her eyes, and Chu Lan asked the other party: "Why can't she wake up?"
Gu Zizhan on the bed was a little helpless, "Because her spiritual consciousness is pulling with another person—that is, Gu Che in your mouth. I told you earlier that you rashly took the blood-filled soul Putting Yu beside her greatly strengthened the power of Gu Che's spiritual consciousness. If I hadn't been there to protect her, I'm afraid that little Cheng'er you've been thinking about would have been swallowed by Gu Che long ago and wiped out in ashes."
There was no joy or anger on Chu Lan's face. "I have given that blood jade to the mad Taoist Huang Xuan."
Gu Zizhan nodded, "Master Uncle has profound Taoism, does he have any instructions?"
Chu Lan's voice suddenly turned cold. "How do you know his identity?"
"I've never heard Cheng'er say before that besides Gu Che's spiritual consciousness, there is such a existence of you in her body. You said that you are protecting Cheng'er, so who are you? And why are you?" appear here?"
"What's your purpose?"
It is rare for Chu Lan to have such obvious mood swings now, and Gu Zizhan in front of her obviously knows this too.Therefore, facing Chu Lan's series of questions, he was also slightly stunned.Afterwards, he suddenly showed a smile of unknown meaning, and said: "Everything is about the ups and downs. Look, what you said is all to clarify my doubts, but why didn't you even mention the bargaining chip? Don't be afraid You annoyed me, and your Cheng'er will be injured as well?"
Chu Lan looked directly at her and fell silent.With her silence, the air in the room became more and more oppressive.
The longer time aggravated this depression, Gu Zizhan couldn't stand it, coughed lightly, "I'm just kidding, I won't..."
But Chu Lan interrupted her, "Cheng'er is gentle, but she is also proud. If she is here, I will accompany her. If she is not here, I will destroy everything and go to accompany her. " Her words were so firm every word that Gu Zizhan was also stunned.
After a while, Gu Zizhan smiled wryly, and said, "There's no need to do this, I won't harm her. I can tell you everything, but whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"I'm Gu Che, and I'm named Zizhan, so I'm also Gu Zizhan. And your Cheng'er is actually just like me. I might as well tell you, I've walked this road many times."
"In the first life, I was muddled for 18 years, and my spiritual consciousness was always suppressed by people. I didn't get a short period of clarity until Ziwei came into the world. But at that time, I only thought that my heart was kind, and I had eaten A lot of losses. Later, although I had the heart to guard against others, because of my shallow knowledge and surrounded by wolves, it was impossible to guard against, and in the end, I was assassinated."
"My spiritual consciousness has almost been swallowed up, leaving only this remnant soul, which has been floating in this world because of unwillingness. I can't be reincarnated, and because of too much obsession, Ziwei Xingjun was unable to return to Ziwei for a long time. Weiyuan, by accident, had to go through the things that happened in this life over and over again."
"Later, I discovered that when Gu Zizhan's spiritual consciousness was first taken away in the new life, leading it to another world could keep the primordial spirit unharmed. Therefore, I began to lead Gu Zizhan's primordial spirit to another world, and waited for Ziwei's destiny to return. , it can also be recalled automatically.”
"Wait a minute." Chu Lan pulled a wooden chair and sat down in front of Gu Zizhan.Frowning tightly, "Don't worry, you start from the beginning, explain everything clearly."
After being interrupted by Chu Lan, Gu Zizhan also calmed down. She rubbed her temples, forced herself to cheer up, and began to talk in detail.
Since Tai/Zu's later years, Lord Ziweixing left the palace and experienced many turmoil. With the birth of Gu Che, he was born in Gu Quan's mansion, which was still King Yu at that time.
Daoist Yuanxu and Daoist Yuanhui, as the last successors of Tianjimen, although they bear the bloody enmity of being murdered, but out of the responsibility of protecting the way of heaven that they have accepted since childhood, after calculating the time when Ziwei Xingjun will be born, they still come to Gu In the mansion of Prince Yu, who is in power, to protect Ziwei Xingjun from coming to the world smoothly.But at that time, Mr. Daoist Yuan Xu showed his own selfish intentions.
Since his enemy Tianshun Emperor is not the Tianding Emperor who bears the fate of Ziwei, then he might as well use Gu Che's status to instigate Gu Quan to have the desire to seize the throne, destroy Tianshun Emperor, and replace his teacher and father. revenge.
Yuan Hui Daoist Chen Xuan was born in the royal family of the Chen Dynasty and was the daughter of Emperor Chen Mo, but her biological mother was not favored and her status was low, and she died shortly after giving birth.When he was young, the last emperor, Chen Fu, had a cruel and licentious temperament. He had no intention of governing the country, but only knew how to have fun all day long under the instigation of treacherous officials, and even killed people for fun.She never cared about her only daughter.Later, Chen Xuan, who was less than four years old, was killed by Concubine Chen Fu Chong, and was thrown out of the palace by accident, but was picked up by Yuan Daocheng and raised as a disciple.
She and Daoist Yuan Xu grew up together, childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts, and they secretly had a love for each other.When the teacher's school was destroyed, the benefactor was also executed by Emperor Tianshun, Yuan Xu and Yuan Hui depended on each other, and even violated the Taoist rules and married in private.
After Taoist Yuan Xu brought Taoist Yuan Hui into Prince Yu's mansion, Yuan Hui found out that she was pregnant.
After becoming a mother, Taoist Yuan Hui gradually changed his mind.
Because of the suffering she suffered when she was young, she has no nostalgia for Chen Chao.Yuan Daocheng, who rescued her from the fire and water, naturally became her existence far better than her father.Yuan Daocheng and Tianjimen took her in and gave her a home.But when Yuan Daocheng died for no apparent reason, her home was gone.Therefore, in her obsession with revenge, she even outperformed Taoist Priest Yuanxu by a few points.
After having this child, Daoist Yuan Hui suddenly thought that there is a secret method in the Tianji Gate, which can change a person's spiritual consciousness, which is to change the sky and change the life.
Together with this idea, it can no longer be suppressed.
Daoist Yuan Hui left Prince Yu's mansion with an excuse before showing his bosom.
In order to ensure that the child could be born before Gu Che was born, Daoist Yuan Hui administered oxytocin to himself, and gave birth to a son prematurely, whose nickname was Cheng Wu.Cheng Bi was a few months older than Gu Che, and after Gu Che was born, Ziwei's destiny also came.
Daoist Yuan Hui knew very well that Daoist Yuanxu had accepted the teachings of Daoist Yuan since childhood, and he valued the protection of the way of heaven much more than she did.Therefore, even if Daoist Yuan Xu wanted to use Gu Quan's hand to take revenge, he never thought of hurting Gu Che, let alone attacking Ziwei Xingjun's destined person, changing his consciousness, changing his destiny.
So, after deciding to change his life in another day, Daoist Yuan Hui concealed it along with him.
It's just that this secret method is not the right way after all, and the purpose of recording these in the ancient books of Tianjimen is also for criticism and condemnation.After Taoist Yuan Hui exchanged her own child's consciousness into Gu Che's body, soon there was a huge shock in the sky.In a short period of time, disasters broke out in various places in Dazhao, the celestial phenomena were treacherous, and abnormal weather occurred frequently, causing countless deaths and injuries.
Daoist Yuanxu finally found out that something was wrong, and when he came to ask Daoist Yuanhui, he realized that all of this was done by Daoist Yuanhui.
But at that time, Cheng Wu's spiritual consciousness that was replaced into Gu Che's body became more and more unstable. The two consciousnesses were intertwined and competing. The occurrence of it has reached the point where it is almost unbearable.
In the end, Taoist Priest Yuanxu chose the latter in terms of the way of heaven and human desire.In order to preserve the spiritual consciousness of his parents and children, Taoist Yuan Xu told Taoist Yuan Hui another use of the blood-contained jade, and strengthened Cheng Wu's spiritual consciousness.Slowly, Gu Che's own spiritual consciousness was suppressed, hidden in the depths of the spiritual sea, and fell into a deep sleep.
However, at the same time, Ziwei Xingjun's aura gradually weakened.After Gu Che's spiritual consciousness fell asleep, it gradually dissipated.
Daoist Yuan Hui suffered backlash, his mind was unstable, and his mind changed drastically.
Daoist Yuanxu also regretted it, and wanted to release Gu Che's spiritual consciousness, but found that he was powerless.
During this period, their son, Cheng Wu's body also weakened. He was born prematurely and injured his roots, and because of the absence of Yuanshen, he died not long after.At this time, Taoist Priest Yuanxu also completely fell into madness because of the falling of the last straw.She didn't think that all this was the result of her forcibly changing her life, on the contrary, she thought that Taoist Priest Yuanxu didn't help with all his strength, and she even held a grudge against him.
Afterwards, Daoist Yuan Hui left Prince Yu's mansion and traveled around, hoping to find a way to completely clear Gu Che's consciousness and integrate Chengwu's consciousness with Ziwei's destiny.
Daoist Yuanxu stayed behind, taking care of their growing up children in Gu Che's capacity.Until they calculated that 18 years later, Lord Ziwei Xing would come to the world again and merge with Gu Che, many thoughts resurfaced.
Only this time, the opinions of the two completely diverged.
After listening to her, Chu Lan couldn't believe it.
Daoist Yuan Hui had a child, and the grievances between her and Daoist Yuan Xu were also related to the death of the child. Chu Lan had vaguely guessed this from the few words of Daoist Yuan Hui.It's just that she never expected that according to what Gu Zizhan said, the master she once respected so much was actually such a crazy person.
After a long delay, Chu Lan seemed to have finally received the huge content, clasped her fingers tightly together, but her voice was as steady as ever, and said, "You are not among the things you said."
Gu Zizhan lowered his head slightly, a wry smile flashed across his lips. "It seems that no matter how many times you have experienced it, you are always so calm and self-sufficient."
"You're right, there's no me in it, and I didn't know this from the beginning. If I wasn't too naive at the beginning, I wouldn't have walked into this darkness. I'm just a lonely soul, because With obsession and inexplicable fate, wandering in this world. There is no way back, and there is no way back."
Gu Zizhan stopped talking about his thoughts and started talking again.
In the first life, Master Ziwei Xing reappeared in the world 18 years later. When Gu Che woke up from a coma, the divine consciousness that had the upper hand had already changed.
Because of Ziwei Xingjun's arrival, the sky was shaken, and Cheng Wu, the son of Daoist Yuan Hui who had occupied Gu Che's body for 18 years, was affected by his spiritual consciousness and temporarily retired.
After sleeping for 18 years, Gu Che's original consciousness was clear, that is, Gu Zizhan who was talking with Chu Lan.
When she first fell into a coma, she was just a baby who didn't understand anything. Although she had absorbed some of Cheng Wu's experiences and past, she was still as ignorant and kind as a child.Over time, she became a puppet in Gu Quan's hands.Confused, she killed many people and hurt many people.
This Gu Zizhan has experienced the perils of people's hearts, betrayal and exploitation. The only person who made her feel bright was Chu Lan who had appeared briefly at that time and left because of her disappointment.
Chu Lan in that life was hidden in the softest part of her heart, and it was also her only sustenance.
Later, in order to realize his plan, Daoist Yuan Hui got in touch with Chen Zhong, the great eunuch who escaped when the Chen Dynasty was destroyed.The rebel army cultivated by Chen Zhong in the southwest was arranged by Daoist Yuan Hui and colluded with Gu Quan.
In the end, Gu Quanquan used Gu Zizhan's identity as Ziwei's Destiny to cultivate a large number of party members in the court, took advantage of the death of the prince Gu Yuan, spread rumors, rebelled, and invaded the palace.
At that time, Gu Zizhan's spiritual consciousness was impacted by Gu Quan's behavior, and with the secret help of Daoist Yuan Hui, Cheng Wu, who had greatly increased in strength, took the opportunity to occupy his mind.After killing Gu Quan, Cheng Wu killed Emperor Tianshun, and became the emperor of Dazhao by virtue of his blood.
At that time, Cheng Wu had no kindness in his heart.He teamed up with Daoist Yuan Hui and finally completely strangled Gu Zizhan's own spiritual consciousness.In Ziwei Xingyuan, blood filled the sky and the earth, the sky was in complete chaos, and the world became like a purgatory.
It's just that Gu Zizhan, who originally thought that she would be wiped out, found that after experiencing the pain to the bone, she was full of hatred and opened her eyes again in the void.
No one could explain her confusion, she seemed to be pushed by the hand of fate, and entered another reincarnation of the past.
This time, she became a bystander.Curled up in a corner of the spiritual sea, watching his body being used by Daoist Yuan Hui again, watching that divine consciousness named Gu Che, or Gu Zizhan, being suppressed by the evil spirit again, and finally completely annihilated.
After going through countless times, she finally had a vague consciousness.Perhaps, the purpose of her existence is to regain the consciousness from Yuan Hui and Cheng Wu, a mother and son, and merge with Ziwei Xingjun to maintain the operation of the law of heaven.Since she bears the destiny, she should give up everything and become the real god in this world.
But when the reincarnation started again, Gu Zizhan found that, as a bystander, she was powerless to do anything about what happened again.
In normal times, she could protect Gu Zizhan's consciousness in this life, but when Cheng Wu Yuanshen was strong, she couldn't resist at all.He could only watch helplessly as Gu Zizhan was taken away and defeated again and again.Time and time again, the ashes disappeared and melted into the void.
And the root cause of this is that every time Gu Zizhan awakened his consciousness, he was too ignorant and too weak.
Until once again, inadvertently, Gu Zizhan discovered that she could introduce Gu Zizhan's spiritual consciousness in this life into another time and space when he was suppressed by Cheng Wu at birth.
In that time and space, Gu Zizhan grew up little by little, received education, and slowly grew into a more mature soul.She has the knowledge and experience accumulated bit by bit, and understands the basics of the world.Only when facing the dangers in this world can we have the ability to protect ourselves and resist.
But maybe it was a mistake after all, and only this time, she finally got the chance to show up and tell these old things together.Only this time, she was finally able to face Chu Lan directly and seek her help.
Chu Lan listened to her words quietly, and the vicissitudes and loneliness that had always lingered on this person were also answered at this time.
After countless heartbreaks, he still remains unyielding and firm.Maybe this is Gu Zizhan, her Cheng'er, after stripping away all the exterior, the most essential heart of a child.
But I have to say that the Gu Zizhan in front of her is not exactly the same as her Cheng'er.
Her Cheng'er is more considerate to others. Although she has a firm sense of right and wrong in her heart, the trust and optimism, tolerance and kindness in her are better than the Gu Zizhan in front of her who is better at guessing people's hearts, strategizing, and controlling everything in her hands. feel real.
Chu Lan couldn't help but interrupt her, "So, even after Chengwu's primordial spirit is eliminated, you have to control my Cheng'er step by step, control her life, and make her a woman with no desires or desires in the world. the gods?"
Gu Zizhan was a little astonished, "This is the life she should have experienced. The way of heaven is permanent, how can ordinary people break through it, and what is the difference?"
Chu Lan shook her head, "The responsibility of safeguarding the way of heaven should not be her shackles. She is a human being with flesh and blood, emotions, anger, and desires. She cannot become a god, nor should she become a god. On this point, if you insist on If you think too deeply, what's the difference with that Yuanhui Taoist chief mother and son?"
"In order to save her, I can help you. But no matter what I do, I don't want her to sacrifice herself for the sake of heaven, but to let her just be herself."
"So, after all the dust settles, I hope you can stop bothering her and let her do what she wants."
Gu Zizhan in front of him slowly opened his eyes wide.
Her eyes became a little longer, as if she saw another person through Chu Lan.
She almost forgot that in the long past, there seemed to be someone who said similar things to her.
"Those people died because of you. You shouldn't shirk this. Maybe, when you do these things that help the evildoers, you should ask your own mind. Do it from the heart and have no shame in your heart. That's what you should do." Gotta learn."
Suddenly, Gu Zi's eyes turned red.She lowered her head covertly.
After a long time, Gu Zizhan said with difficulty: "But, with so many changes over the years, I always have something to rely on."
Chu Lan paused, feeling some sourness that didn't belong to her.
After a while, she changed the topic and asked: "By the way, you said you have experienced this kind of reincarnation many times, so why couldn't you show up like this and tell me these things at those times? , You said it, but you haven’t found a solution to the situation?”
Gu Zizhan also calmed down and met Chu Lan's eyes again.
"Actually, the reason why I can show up this time is because of you. You and her fate are compatible, and you are connected with each other. With you by her side, you are invisibly caring for her soul. Therefore, Although Cheng Wu's consciousness will become stronger and will suppress her at this time, as long as you are here, she can maintain a trace of clarity and will not be completely swallowed."
"Actually, only in this life can you truly stay together. Maybe you are also her obsession."
"In this regard, she is luckier than me, and luckier than Gu Zizhan in every life."
"We have waited too long."
Chu Lan's eye sockets suddenly became moist.The heart also seemed to be hit by a drum, and in the sore pain, there was the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.
Pushing back the momentary weakness, Chu Lan calmed down and spoke firmly. "In this case, how should I save her? Just now, Taoist Huang Xuan told me that the blood-contained jade can store the soul, but if the soul is extracted without authorization, it is easy to make a vacancy in the primordial spirit. So until the end, he just accepted it. I bought that blood jade, let me come back and think about it before going to him."
Gu Zizhan also smiled again. "Uncle Master is right. But he didn't know, and I was there to protect him. After all, Gu Zizhan is the most suitable person for Ziwei's Destiny to integrate. Now Cheng Wu's primordial spirit is exhausted day by day. With my strength , it can be guaranteed that Gu Zizhan's own consciousness will not be involved when he pulls away."
"You can reply to Master Uncle, he can start anytime."
