Pretending To Be a Holy Place, I Was Signed For a Thousand Years

   Chapter 242 Qingquan's life experience

   "Eighteen years later, you are finally here."

The empress   's slightly resentful words shocked the two of them all at once.

   "What's the situation? We met eighteen years ago? Impossible, the original body did not leave Dongling County in his memory!"

   Zhang Ming thought in surprise.

   Immediately, he subconsciously wanted to ask, how old are you Qingquan when you came up the mountain?

   But when he looked sideways at Qingquan, he looked into the courtyard with a terrified expression. His body was like a mountain carrying hundreds of millions of pounds, and sweat stains came out along his hair bun.

"Um?"

  Zhang Ming turned to look into the courtyard, only to see Empress Wu Mingxian turned around, staring at Qingquan with burning eyes.

   There are memories, relatives, and scrutiny in those eyes.

   "Qingquan, do you know her?"

   The sudden change made him even forget to look at the face of the Empress.

   Qingquan stammered and whispered in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible, I can't be here before..."

   Empress Wu Mingxian shook her head slightly and said, "Since you're here, it's time to face it."

   She waved her hand, and a maid on the right stepped forward, holding a scroll of documents in her hand.

   "Lingshu watched Qingquan, went up the mountain to learn from Taixuzi at the age of three, learned Taoism at the age of five, tempered the body at the age of seven, and stepped into the realm of nourishing Qi at the age of thirteen..."

   "I went down the mountain to buy for the first time at the age of sixteen, and was frightened by the woman..."

   "At the age of 20, he has broken the congealing essence, returned to oneness, shaped his life, and was promoted to the Yangshen realm."

  This is an impressive archive of Qingquan, which contains a few details and records his life.

   And the part that the maid read, obviously selected the important content.

   Zhang Ming became more and more startled. When he saw Qingquan again, he had already fallen to the ground, his face turning pale.

   "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

   Zhang Ming stood in front of Qingquan and asked.

However, Empress Wu Mingxian obviously did not intend to give up on this, but waved her hand to dismiss the palace maid, and said slowly: "Lingshu Guan Qingquan, now 21 years old, formerly known as Wu Qingquan, after entering the Taoist Temple, Taixuzi cited it as the Taoist name - Qingquan !"

  Her last words were like thunder on the ground.

  Qingquan couldn't hold back any longer, and murmured: "So it is, so it is, I remember it! I remember it!"

   He stood up on the ground, put aside his senior brother's care, and faced the empress and said, "I didn't expect that I came from the royal family... But why did the master forbid my childhood memories, you... are my sister?"

   There is no more laughter and laughter on his body, only the seriousness he has never seen before.

   Empress Wu Mingxian finally showed a smile on her face. It was as complete and dreamy as the blooming of an imperial flower. She asked softly, "Brother, you should have shouldered the burden of this Emperor Jin, now... do you understand?"

   At this moment, all Zhang Ming's doubts were resolved.

  Why does the current female emperor, whose surname is Wu, whose name is Qing'e and whose style is Mingxian, issue an edict of "respecting Buddhism and suppressing Taoism"?

   She is not only aiming at the strategy of filling the treasury laid out by Buddhism, but also forcing the Qingquan in the Taoist temple on Zhuoguang Mountain to go down the mountain and join the WTO as soon as possible.

  The Empress was never aimed at Lingshu View, nor at his Qinghui, but at Qingquan from beginning to end!

   And Zhang Ming just happened to be at the meeting, shining bright in this dispute.

   "So everything you did was to force me to come to Kyoto."

  Qingquan sighed and asked, "But, why? Just let me be a leisurely Taoist, walking tigers and cranes every day, chanting sutras and understanding the Tao, isn't it good?"

   Wu Mingxian's eyes flashed a trace of struggle.

   "Clear Spring!"

   "The first emperor passed away, and my Jin Dynasty was in danger. Where were you then?"

   "Three sects are fighting and controlling the dynasty; where are you?"

   "The nations of the four quarters are staring at the tigers, and the Dongyi, Xirong, and Northern Wei are in close contact with each other, intending to subvert my Jin Dynasty. Where are you at this time?"

   "How long are you going to escape!?"

   she suddenly shouted sternly.

   One sentence, asked Qingquan to be stunned in place.

He murmured to himself: "Yeah, where am I? I'm still digging for eggs, catching river fish, and fiddling with those obscure Taoist books in Zhuoguang Mountain... The burden of the Jin Dynasty is all on you alone. on the body..."

   "But, this is the throne, and everyone in the world yearns for it. Don't you want to sit on this throne alone?"

  Qingquan raised his head and looked at the peerless and graceful empress.

   Many people have overlooked that this woman who dominates the world is only nineteen years old this year.

Wu Mingxian waved Liuxian's long sleeves abruptly, and laughed: "The emperor? If I didn't want to give up the emperor, why would I force you to go down this mountain! Qingquan, I have made up my mind. After the ceremony of sacrificing heaven, I will announce it. The world, pass on the throne of the Great Jin Emperor to you."

   Zhang Ming and Qingquan were startled together.

   This empress is so resolute and resolute that even the throne of the Dajin Dynasty can be said not to be rejected.

   Even, the moment she said it, Zhang Ming saw a trace of unprecedented ease in her eyes, as if the burden had been lifted.

   She has been waiting for this day for a long time.

   In order to hold on to this day, she has also held on for a long time.

   Qingquan was silent, he didn't know how to answer, how to face the woman in front of him, how to face the entire Jin Dynasty.

   For him, the impact is too great!

   "I...I need to think again."

   Qingquan said in a hoarse voice.

  Wu Mingxian's expression became colder, and he hummed: "Qingquan, there are only two days before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens. If you are not qualified to be emperor, then I would rather kill you with my own hands than die in humiliation at the hands of an enemy country!"

  Qingquan immediately trembled all over his body, and after a long time he said, "I will seriously consider it."

  Zhang Ming sighed in his heart, after all, his younger brother has reached the moment of growth.

  Life is always like this, forced to grow up.

The more kind    is, the more forced by this world there is no way out.

   "Your Majesty, if nothing happens today, I will retire."

   He opened his mouth to make a round and said.

  Wu Mingxian's expression softened a little, looked at him and said, "Daoist Qing Hui, I have been negligent, please forgive me. It's just that you came here, you don't want to ask me what I wrote in the imperial edict?"

   Mentioning this matter, Zhang Ming's eyes shrank subconsciously.

   "Your Majesty, did the teacher leave a letter in the palace when he left the capital?"

   he asked, looking up.

In the second imperial decree handed by General Fu at the Lingshu Temple of Zhuoguang Mountain that day, it was written that he came to Kyoto to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens, and he could obtain the relics of Taixuzi, including a letter left to their brothers and sisters. letter.

   Wu Mingxian's mouth twitched into a smile: "Yes, I will give you everything when I take the position of the national teacher."

   Zhang Ming frowned: "Do you want Pindao to become the national teacher and assist Qingquan to secure the throne of the Great Jin Emperor?"

   He was a little apprehensive. Her Majesty the Empress seemed to have arranged everything properly again.

   However, Qingquan succeeded to the throne, so where did she go?

   How can this world serve Qingquan?

   So what she really persecuted was not only Qingquan, but also herself, and only herself could make Qingquan secure the throne.

  Wu Mingxian looked at him and asked, "Why, did Daoist Qinghui just watch your junior brother die?"

  If he is not capable, but sits on the throne, those sects, noble families and enemy countries cannot let him go.

   Zhang Ming shook his head, his eyes fell on Qingquan, and he said slowly, "He doesn't need help from the poor."

   Qingquan shook his body, looked at his senior brother, and saw encouragement and trust in his eyes.

   Wu Mingxian didn't seem to have expected that, he would answer like this, and he was stunned in place.

  Zhang Ming sighed slightly in his heart, yes, everyone in the world thinks that this junior and senior brother is a rambunctious and stupid talent, but who will understand that this is just unpolished jade.

   He shines in the dust, illuminating the mountains and rivers.

   Wu Mingxian looked at Qingquan again with a scrutiny. She could say that she knew a lot about her brother who had never met, but she didn't know much.

  I understand because since she ascended to the throne, she has kept people collecting information about him and studying them day and night.

   I don't understand because she never got along with him no matter how much she watched.

   "Qingquan, if you are really able to shoulder the heavy responsibility, you might as well prove it to me. There will be chaos in Kyoto these two days, and someone must be worried about the country."

   Wu Mingxian said suddenly, and then his eyes swept to Fu Jing who was standing quietly behind.

The crimson horsewoman hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, just last night, a **** case occurred at the Tingfeng Tower in Jingfeng, Cao Laoliu was cut off by the Cao Gang, and this morning. , Wang Xian, the second son of the king's family in Kyoto, and Xu Yao, the young master of the Feiyun Sect, were brutally killed in the same way."

   Zhang Ming couldn't help frowning. He just entered the capital, and the chaos has already begun?

  Wu Mingxian sighed slightly: "Sure enough, as expected, some people can't see the success of this ceremony of sacrifice to the sky, and they even want to use this to provoke disputes between major forces! I just don't know if it's the work of an enemy country, or a family sect?"

She turned her eyes to Qingquan and said, "I will give you the Crimson Order. From now on, you will command the Jingjing Crimson Rider. Except for Jiang Ye, General Dingguo, everyone will obey your order. But you have to find out the cause of the **** case within two days. How about punishing the murderer behind the scenes?"

   There was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

   Zhang Ming grabbed Qingquan's hand and shook his head slightly, signaling him not to be fooled.

   Here, the Empress dug two big pits directly.

   One is to command the Crimson Rider in the capital. The world knows that the Crimson Rider is the Queen's personal guard. Once this Crimson Order is handed over, it is equivalent to handing over the Queen's net worth and life, and Qingquan will definitely become the target of public criticism.

  The second is that the murderer behind the scenes dared to make trouble in Kyoto, he must have tyrannical strength, and even dared to compete with the three sects, or he was a member of the three sects. How could Qingquan find out the murderer within two days? I am afraid that it is very dangerous, and it is directly listed on the must-kill list by the forces behind the scenes.

   But Qingquan also shook his head towards him, and immediately took a step forward, answering: "Your Majesty please give me an order."

  Wu Mingxian laughed: "Good! Good! This crimson order will be handed over to you! Seeing the order is like seeing the saint!"

   said, she took off a dark red token from her waist, waved it and threw it in Qingquan's hand.

Seeing this, Fu Jing on the side of    hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Lieutenant General Fu Jing, I have seen the leader!"

   In a short while, the female emperor's personal guard and three thousand female soldiers in Kyoto were dispatched by Qingquan.

   Zhang Ming was helpless, so he and Qingquan immediately said goodbye to Wu Mingxian, left the Imperial Garden, and prepared to return to the inn.

   "Boss, in fact, you don't need to live in the inn anymore. The Crimson Rider has its own house. It's better to move there, and it is also convenient for the last commander to arrange for someone to serve."

  Fu Jing asked while driving the carriage.

  Qingquan shook his head and said to the outside: "General Fu, if you want to find out the source of the murder, you have to walk around the capital more. If you live in the Crimson Rider's house, it will be a lot of inconvenience."

   Zhang Ming saw that he was serious this time, and he didn't interrupt, so let him do it.

   "Since you are destined to grow, then let go of it. The sky is falling, and there are also poor people standing in your way."

   he thought to himself.

   Qingquan continued to ask, "General Fu, where did these three murders take place?"

  Fu Jing reported: "Cao Laoliu died in the alley outside Tingfeng Tower, Wang Xian died in Wanhua Street in Dongcheng, and Xu Yao died in Tongluo Lane in Xicheng."

   These three locations are scattered all over the place and are not related.

   Moreover, Wang Xian and Xu Yao died at the same time, but they were in Dongcheng and Xicheng respectively, which were very far apart.

   "It seems that the perpetrator is not a single person, but a gang, or even... two groups of people who are not related to different forces!"

   Qingquan speculated and ordered: "General Fu, go to the Fenglou."

   He didn't even plan to go back to the inn to rest, but directly diverted to the scene of the crime.

   Zhang Ming nodded secretly, followed Fu Jing to drive, and soon came to the alley outside Tingfeng Building.

   "Boss, this place has been cleaned up, and the blood has faded away, so no traces can be seen."

   Fu Jing couldn't help but explain when she saw the two stopped at the entrance of the alley.

  Qingquan shook his head and said, "This place is close to the restaurant, which is the breeding ground for snakes, worms, rats, and ants. Maybe no one saw it when the incident happened. But it doesn't mean that there were no inhuman existences to witness it."

  Fu Jing was taken aback: "???"

   Then, she saw Qingquan clapped her palms, and a group of ants, three mice and an earthworm burrowed out of the ground.

"I understand."

  Qingquan looked at them several times and said slowly.

  Fu Jing was taken aback for a moment.

   But Zhang Ming understands the doorway. It turns out that this guy Qingquan has been covering the beasts, birds and insects in the capital with layers of the Book of Heavenly Beasts since he entered the capital.

   These pet beasts are densely spread out, forming a surveillance network that captures all the movements in Kyoto.

   And the cultivators who are aloof, don't care about these details at all.

   "General Fu, go to Wanhua Street in Dongcheng."

  Qingquan ordered again, this time even Dongming Academy had no scruples.

   The group soon came to Wanhua Street, and repeated the old tricks of Qingquan. This time, they didn't say anything else and went straight to the next place, Tongluoxiang.

   Finally, the three returned to the inn.

   After closing the door and placing a ban, Qingquan said with a serious face: "General Fu, I have found the murderer behind the scenes."

   This sentence made Fu Jing stunned.

So fast?

   Didn't His Majesty give you two days?

   Are you not following the rules of the game by playing like this?

  Fu Jing asked incredulously: "Boss, this... Who is the murderer behind the scenes, and where is he?"

  Qingquan looked out of the window: "It's far away in the sky, and it's right in front of you. The deaths of these three people belong to three forces. One of them is in this Fulai Inn. They are monsters and their strength is unfathomable."

   "There are two parties, one is the Blood Demon Pavilion, and the other is the Earth-Ming Sect."

  PS: 8000 words were delivered, and all the debts should be made up...
