Dao fruit.

"I was in good spirits this morning. After I got up, I punched in the yard. Who would have thought that I would go so suddenly, woo woo..."

The Yan mansion was full of crying, and the whole mansion was filled with sadness. Even many ministers who entered here were infected by this emotion. Listening to the words of Yan Junqing, the third son of Yan Dongting, many people couldn't help but sigh. However, some With the emperor in front, it's not their turn to intervene at this time——

The news of the death of Prime Minister Yan Dongting had spread to the palace as soon as possible, which greatly shocked the palace. Emperor Li Kun was about to come to the Yan Mansion immediately, accompanied by several close officials, including other prime ministers. Fu, and Qiu Yan.

It is worth mentioning that similar things happened in the past. At that time, Tian Youqing and Pan Xiang would be chosen by the emperor to follow, but this time he was not summoned to follow.

Not only Tian Youqing and others, but also several princes who are close to the Tian family, such as King Ding, were also not taken, and even the emperor did not send anyone to inform them.

This is a statement. People in the capital who are well-informed, together with several ministers who follow the emperor, are well aware of this. When they came to visit Yan's mansion, their thoughts were also changing.

On this side, everyone’s thoughts were agitated, but on the other side, Li Kun said to Yan Junqing: "Yan Zaifu has worked hard for the country all his life. Now that he is going west, I have the responsibility. Therefore, it has never been allowed, which has caused today's sorrow." The so-called registration is actually an old courtier, who is worried that his body will not be able to do it, but he still has a heavy responsibility, so he will draw up a charter for the work in hand, so that others can do it. Acceptance will not be due to physical or other reasons.affect the functioning of state affairs.

And just like during the national war, everything is complicated, Yan Dongting's health is not good, but he is in the position of governor, the preparation of the record is also reasonable.

However, the emperor naturally couldn't say that, but had to show appreciation and praise.

After finishing talking, Li Kun asked about the situation of the rest of the Yan family.Then Yan Junqing replied: "The letters to the eldest brother and the others have already been sent out, and I think they will be back soon."

"That's good, Yan Zaifu has served the country all his life. His affairs can't be sloppy." Li Kun nodded.Li Kun was taken aback when he heard this.He shook his head and sighed.

Then, someone came out from the backyard, saying that the body had been disposed of.Li Kun nodded when he heard the words, and prepared to choose a courtier to go in and take a look instead of himself, in order to fulfill the righteousness of the monarch.

It is a symbol of status and friendship that the emperor came here in person after the death of a courtier. Darui and the previous dynasty have similar things, but it is indeed wrong for the emperor to see the corpse of the person who has entered the world. The first is that it is not clean enough, it is inevitable Contaminated with yin qi, the second involves the etiquette system compiled by the Darui Dynasty, so the emperor can't go in and contemplate it himself, and often chooses a courtier to replace it.

There are also many regulations for the selection of this courtier, which also reflects the emperor's trust.

At this time, Yan Junqing glanced over the faces of the ministers who came over, and finally stopped on the face of one person, it was Qiu Yan. He recalled what his father said before his death, and knew it was time to speak.

"Your Majesty, when my father was dying, he mentioned Qiu Xueshi, saying that he was deeply impressed by the conversation with him."...

Li Kun knew what he meant, and said smoothly: "I have heard about this matter a little bit, since it is so, Qiu Qing might as well go in and have a look, and send Yan Zaifu one last time for me."

Qiu Yan said what he was ordered to do, and he just left without caring about the expressions of the other chief executives.

His destination this time is not the single courtyard where Yan Dongting lives. To be precise, the single courtyard is gone in this Yan’s mansion—while walking, Qiu Yan mobilized his keen senses and perceptions to explore the surroundings, and there was an accident Discover.

Because he had been there once before, he was able to accurately locate it, but he followed the traces in his memory and found that there were many changes in the mansion. Not only the private courtyard was gone, but also a lot of potted plants were missing.

"The small building in the single courtyard was originally the cauldron where Yan Zaifu carried out his cultivation after separation. It is normal for him to disappear, but in this way, his 'death' this time should not be simple, and it cannot be a real soul. Into the Underworld!"

With Yan Dongting, Qiu Yan didn't have many contacts, but the last conversation was enough to make him realize that the other party is by no means a simple monk, with big ambitions and lofty ambitions.

However, Qiu Yan could also sense that Yan Dongting's plans and ambitions were not in power and wealth in the world, but in his ambitions in practice. For this reason, he even took the risk to come to the capital, and went straight to the core of Longting, and finally ranked Zaifu, the dangers in it are hard to count.

Such a character can be called a legend. If his experience is used to write a storybook, it will be passed down through the ages and it will be talked about with great interest.

Such a person died suddenly, and not long ago, Qiu Yan heard the voice of the other party, and even felt the ripples and fluctuations where the other party was, and of course understood that there was something hidden behind it.

However, Qiu Yan didn't know Yan Dongting's purpose, and was also puzzled by the phrase "go ahead".

Where are you going?Why are you leaving?And why do you want to leave a message for yourself?

All kinds of speculation, without Yan Dongting's face-to-face answer, I can't really understand.

But now, with Yan Dongting's "last words", Qiu Yan's ability to visit him for the last time is undoubtedly a chance to get an answer.

Squeak.

The door opened, and the guide stepped aside, and Yan Junqing, who came with him, also turned sideways. Qiu Yan came here this time to send Zaifu on behalf of the emperor, so there are some things to care about in terms of etiquette.

Qiu Yan also knew it very well, and stepped into the room without being polite.

Immediately, the bitter smell of medicine rushed to his face, accompanied by bursts of crying, which Qiu Yan heard when he was outside the door.

Following the sound, he could see the figures of old and weak women and children beside the bed. Someone had already notified them in advance, and when they saw Qiu Yan's arrival, they all cried and moved out of the way.

"My condolences." Feeling the sadness, Qiu Yan comforted him. The mood of sadness in this room is purer than that outside. It seems that after seeing the corpse, even if there are other thoughts, it is still blood and family, which can trigger instinctive sadness. , emotionally purer.

Tasting the intertwined interest entanglement and family affection, accumulated in the perception of human nature, Qiu Yan slowly walked to the bed.

Yan Dongting was lying on the bed, silently. Compared with the last meeting, this face has changed a lot. It is thinner, paler, covered with age spots, and the exposed flesh and blood are only a thin layer. , as if there was only a layer of skin covering the bones, and the flesh was cold and hard, looking like a wax statue.

Death Qi spread out from his body, bringing a cold aura, no matter from which point of view, it was the absence of Yang Qi.

However, when Qiu Yan glanced at it, there was a little surprise in his pupils. He actually felt that his gaze was being drawn by a black hole, and he wanted to fly straight into it!

This feeling, as if what he is looking at is not the person lying on the bed, but an abyss wrapped under the human skin, deep and bottomless, and he does not know where it leads.

"This is……"

With a shock in his heart, Qiu Yan immediately returned to his original state. From the outside, he seemed to be distracted for a moment, but this short period of time was enough for Qiu Yan to see a clue.

"This corpse is not formed by magic, but actually belongs to Yan Zaifu's physical body, or it is a slough!"

After looking at it, Qiu Yan nodded and retreated, and Yan Junqing led him out of the house. On the way back there, he was calm on the surface, but his heart was not idle, but he was repeatedly recalling the feeling just now.

Condensation of feelings, not only the thoughts of the flesh and blood body, but also the other two bodies, and even mobilize a little change of literary thinking in the literary network, evolving thousands of scenes in an instant, and simulating one scene after another.

That feeling finally turned into a bridge.

"The body forms a bridge, the mysteries are connected, the incomplete complements each other, the essence and blood are reversed, the reality is turned into emptiness, and the mystery of the universe is achieved. This should be a step in the fifth realm of life cultivation. But since it is a bridge, it connects the two sides. Where do you mean?"

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan remembered the thoughts about the fifth realm that he had speculated before.

"According to my previous imagination, the so-called physical body forming a bridge is to connect the inside and the outside, and connect the mysteries of the human body with the outside world. However, the imperial city is very important, with a deep dragon aura, which rejects the extraordinary, and even the aura is very thin. Even if it is connected, it is rare for the outside world to supplement it." , so where is it on the other side of the bridge? Is the place where Yan Zaifu is going in the depths of his body?"

With doubts, Qiu Yan returned to the emperor and described the scene in the house.

Li Kun shook his head and said with emotion: "Life and death are fate, and the day and night will come. It can be seen that everything is unpredictable. We should seize the day and night. There are some things that need to be done quickly. Qiu Qing, I don’t know how to prepare for the things I told you before. ?”

Qiu Yan replied: "I have drawn up the rules and regulations, and there are even methods for trial implementation. If it is feasible, I hope your Majesty will allow me to practice it myself."

"Try it out? Practice it yourself?" Li Kun was stunned for a moment, looked at Qiu Yan seriously, and finally nodded solemnly, "Okay! This kind of thing should be avoided by others, but Qiu Qing dared to be the first in the world! Don't worry, I started this matter, you just need to take orders!"

This dialogue between the monarch and his ministers made the few ministers beside him quite puzzled, and felt a faint sense of uneasiness.

This anxiety quickly turned into reality——

The next day, early morning.

Following Qiu Yan's presentation of a memorial, the entire Golden Luan Hall immediately erupted!Mess!

ps: Thanks to "Abad" for the reward!
