Chapter 62 Immortal Master
The art of reincarnation and death!
Looking back on the memories of her previous life, Wu Jie still had an impression of this Immortal Master Xie. It was because this incident was so bizarre that even she, who was living in seclusion and fell out of favor, heard the news.
That's right, this Immortal Master Xie also appeared in the previous life, and because he cured the Empress Dowager's illness, he was extremely favored, so he proposed this method of reincarnation and crossing death, which was adopted by the Empress Dowager.
Subsequent developments were even more bizarre.
This Master Xie turned out to be a tomb robber! The target was not the Empress Dowager's tomb. After all, the Empress Dowager did not really die, and there were not many gold beads buried with her. His target is Emperor Zhanghe next door.
The Empress Dowager's coffin entered the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Immortal Master Xie also accompanied her into the underground palace. In a specially opened quiet room, he observed the secrets of heaven and prayed for the Empress Dowager.
He led a group of disciples and grandchildren, and while praying and meditating, he dug a robbery hole from the Queen Mother's underground palace, leading directly to Emperor Zhanghe's tomb, because the two tombs were next to each other, so it didn't take much effort.
This group of people planned to sweep away all the treasures buried with the late emperor, and then escaped.
The tomb robbery is on the head of the royal family, and it is not sneaky and sneaky, it is a dignified and aboveboard robbery. This Master Xie's handwriting is unprecedented and bold.
Such a fairy game did not succeed in the end.
Just because they had already been seen through by the people in the middle of the court, in fact, when they were digging a hole in the underground palace, the Yinyiwei deliberately misled the direction and led the group into a trap.
Then this group of people entered the robbery cave, and what awaited them at the end was not the imperial mausoleum, underground palace and gold, silver and jewels, but a trap set by the imperial army.
Empress Dowager Hong finished her reincarnation technique and came out of the imperial mausoleum, but she couldn't see Xianshi Xie, she was full of surprise.
After hearing the emperor's explanation, with all the witnesses and material evidence, and knowing that he was deceived by a tomb robber and played around, he was immediately ashamed, ashamed and angry. His body, which was already uncomfortable, became weaker and weaker. After diagnosis and treatment, he died of illness not long after.
This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time, because it was too mysterious, and several versions of the script were derived among the people. What Xianshi Xie is a demon rat who has become a spirit. He has practiced for thousands of years and has stolen several imperial tombs in the previous dynasty. What Xianshi Xie is an evil wizard, entered the imperial tomb to steal dragon energy, not gold, silver and jewelry... Even Wu Jie, who fell out of favor and shunned, listened to it, and the writing was 100,000 times more exciting than the Mandarin book.
Then, several years later, Wu Jie regained her favor and gained a new understanding of this story.
It was about two months before her death. When she went to Qian'an Palace, she saw the young emperor sitting in the study, playing with a small and unique jade.
It was dusk, Yuan Jing didn't let the palace people light the lamps, the hall was dark, but the jade was no more than the size of a palm, but it was warm and glowing, as brilliant as a night pearl.
Such beautiful jade is rare in the world. Wu Jie couldn't help being curious and asked what it was.
Yuan Jing smiled and threw the jade in her hand to her.
Wu Jie took it, looked intently, and found that it turned out to be a jade seal. The whole body is white and moist, like a pile of snow, and the floating light flows inside, as if there are living things hovering in it, the brilliance is brilliant. The words "Ordered by Heaven" are engraved on the bottom.
"This is..." She looked up at Yuan Jing curiously.
Yuan Jing didn't whet her appetite either, and said with a smile, "This is South Chen's heirloom jade seal."
Wu Jie was taken aback. Thinking of the recent news from the front line, she immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, that South Chen is about to be destroyed."
I heard before that the great Wei soldiers and horses were brave enough to break through the South Chen capital, and now that even the Imperial Seal has been sent to Yuan Jing, it must be that Emperor Shenrui fled south in a hurry, and even missed such an important thing.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Jing smiled and said, "No matter how useless Emperor Shenrui is, he wouldn't miss his jade seal when he fled south, okay?"
"This jade seal fell into the hands of my father more than 20 years ago. It was originally used as a funeral object and buried in the imperial mausoleum. Unfortunately, a few years ago, the surname Xie pretended to be a ghost and deceived the queen. The jade seal was stolen. I didn't want to disturb my father's tomb again, so I didn't put it back."
The amount of information in these words was too much, Wu Jie couldn't react for a while, and it took a long time to wake up, "The former tomb robber Xie Xianshi, could it be..."
"He is from South Chen, and his goal is this jade seal. It has been in my hands all these years, and South Chen has been thinking about it. After all, it is their national treasure."
Wu Jie suddenly felt that the jade seal in her hand became heavy, as if it was a little thing with a story.
Yuan Jing said casually: "It's useless anyway. If you like it, I'll give it to you. The quality of the jade is not bad. Someday I will order someone to change it into a paperweight for you to use, or if you like it, you can also make it into a hairpin." Row."
Wu Jie was terrified, bowed her head and said, "I dare not accept such a precious reward."
Yuan Jing smiled generously and said, "If it's a national seal, it will be as precious as a country. If the South Chen country is destroyed, it will be nothing more than a piece of high-quality jade. If it falls into your hands, it will not be regarded as a hidden gem."
After that, Wu Jie took Fang Yuxi back with complicated emotions.
...
Waking up from the memories of the past, Wu Jie looked at the trees everywhere and the autumn rain.
Before Chen Jiao admitted his identity as a member of South Chen, and said that he was looking for something, she immediately realized that what he was looking for should be that thing.
Coupled with the early appearance of Xianshi Xie, it further confirmed her guess.
It's just that they didn't succeed in their previous life, and they were wiped out by Yuan Jing. In this life, Wu Jie still doesn't like it.
Although Master Xie appeared a full year earlier than in his previous life.
I remember that after Xie Xianshi's defeat, Capital City and the palace arrested many people. They were all arrested in the name of damaging the imperial tomb. Now that think about it, they should all be South Chen's lurking people.
Then when Immortal Master Xie is arrested, will the one hidden in his palace be implicated? The safest way for Wu Jie not to report her hope is, of course, to report to Yuan Jing that there is a maid in her palace who is suspicious of her whereabouts before the tomb robbery incident happens.
But Chen Jiao is a man again, once he is caught, he can't even try to make it clear. Moreover, during this period of time, Chen Jiao has helped herself a lot after all, and she can't bear to deal with things like crossing rivers and demolishing bridges...
Therefore, can only take advantage of tonight to talk about the matter and let him go away in a hurry.
Staring at the deep night, Wu Jie repeated her persuasion: "You should leave."
Unexpectedly, Chen Jiao was at a loss for these words, "What?"
Wu Jie frowned, is she still pretending to be confused? According to their plan, if they succeeded in stealing the jade seal tonight, they should have planned to leave.
"Don't hide it, I already know it."
Chen Jiao paused, "What do you know?"
Wu Jie looked up into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I know your plan. Immortal Master Xie is your master. He came here to steal the funeral objects from Emperor Zhanghe's mausoleum."
Chen Jiao's expression was indescribable, and after a while, his expression became serious: "How do you know?"
"How do I know, don't you still understand?" Wu Jie retorted.
"I got it from the emperor." Chen Jiao immediately came to his senses.
Wu Jie did not deny it, or rather, this was the illusion she wanted Chen Jiao to have.
"So you should also understand that your plan has long been seen through by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Right now, your companions should have all fallen into the hands of the imperial army."
Wu Jie spoke slowly, she deliberately chose this time to tell Chen Jiao, just because she didn't want him to have the opportunity to contact Xie Xianshi and those people.
"But you should have time to escape now."
While talking, Wu Jie took out a small package from behind, "There are some silver and clothes in here. The guards in the palace are lax, so you can leave at night. Based on your business in Capital City, you should have found a way." lead way."
Chen Jiao stared at her with indescribable eyes. I had seen the girl's shoulders bulging before, and I guessed what it was, but I didn't expect it to be an escape package for myself.
"I should be happy. If you let me go like this, aren't you afraid of attracting the emperor's suspicion?"
Wu Jie gritted her teeth: "So I have one more request. After you leave, near the cliffs of the mountain path, shred the clothes you changed, and then sprinkle some animal blood or something. I can explain it in the future."
She finished her plan in one breath. There are many wild beasts around the imperial mausoleum, she can excuse herself to order her maid to look for the leftover jewellery, but no one came back, and she died at the mouth of the wild beasts to prevaricate everything. Even if Xie Xianshi and his gang confessed to Chen Jiao, Great Wei's side only thought that she was dead and could not implicate her.
Chen Jiao took the small package and opened it, raised his head and said with a smile, "You are well prepared." Inside was a suit of clothes and some scattered silver coins. And a water bag, dry food. Enough to support him out of this forest.
"If you can miss my benefit, remember to arrange it properly as I said." Wu Jie said angrily, turned her head away, and when the time of parting came, she actually felt a little attached.
Maybe if you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't be so sad.
However, the person behind him refused to leave for a long time, and instead smiled: "You think too much, I am not the same as them."
"What?" Wu Jie turned around.
"I'm not in the same league as those idiots like Xianshi Xie, so you don't have to worry about implicating me." Chen Jiao laughed, "But I'm still very happy that you can think of me like this."
"Furthermore, I said last time that if I want to leave, I will take you with me."
"You!" Wu Jie glared at him, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you out immediately."
Chen Jiao put on a playful look: "Come with me, are you still nostalgic for this court? You don't want to leave with me because you are worried about Dongyue's position. This is actually very easy to handle, we can cheat death to get away, Set the palace on fire, or attract a few foreign thieves..."
"Do you know how to kill and set fire?" Wu Jie shouted angrily.
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden roar and loud noise from a distance, and there was a slight vibration under his feet.
Wu Jie and Chen Jiao looked towards the west at the same time, showing shocked expressions.
Through the dense forest, you can see the rolling and steep mountains behind. A layer of black mist rose from the top of the mountain, as if a small area had collapsed and was rapidly collapsing.
Is it Dilong turning over? The location of the collapse seems to be directly above the Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Hong!
