Ever since we first met on the boat in the East China Sea, Pei Heng was sick and lethargic. Every afternoon when he fell asleep after taking the medicine, Xu Jin stayed by his side every step of the way. The contradictions are all because of losing one's soul.

After Pei Heng woke up and heard about this, he smiled calmly and said: "Actually, it's not a serious problem, now it's just an occasional headache, and I slept for a long time after taking the medicine. Ordinary people often have serious illnesses and minor disasters, it's not a big deal. "

Bai He felt that after Pei Heng entered the mortal womb, his heart became wider, and his little face was wrinkled with worry.

Xu Jin took Pei Heng's prescription from Jin Yu, and the prescription was actually prescribed by the national teacher Wen Ge. know this.

When Xu Jin came back, he asked, "When did you start to have a headache?"

Pei Heng said: "12 years ago."

"Isn't it congenitally deficient?" Bai He asked in amazement, "What happened that year? A living person loses his soul for nothing, and it's not without a reason!"

Pei Heng's smile was a bit complicated: "Many things happened that year, one of them... I went out with the late emperor and was injured, maybe because of it."

Xu Jin frowned: "No, someone must have done it deliberately."

Bai He felt a chill down his spine, and was very angry: "...who could it be?"

Pei Heng smiled helplessly: "There are tens of thousands of people who want to kill me."

Bai He stepped forward and grabbed Pei Heng's sleeve: "My lord, let's go back to Yunfu Sea Territory, shall we?"

Xu Jin thought a lot about whether he wanted to go to Jiuchongtian or not, but both intuition and reason gave a negative answer. It is not a simple matter for Pei Heng to enter the six realms of reincarnation, and it is even possible that all problems originate from Jiuchong sky.He thought of Mrs. Kuichuan again, but his crazy aunt was unpredictable, her whereabouts were erratic, and she didn't know when she would see her again.

Xu Jin's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak. Pei Heng shook his head: "Over twenty years of entanglements in the secular world, so many lives are closely related to me. Ordinary people's lifespan is only a moment, but I can't let it go. Besides... the one I lost The soul is mostly related to people in this world, and it doesn't make sense to go back to the East China Sea to escape the world."

Pei Heng and Xu Jin went to Qingyu Hall to find Wen Ge.

On a beautiful ridge in the back of the palace, there are towering ancient trees, flowing springs and streams, and a wide [-]-step stone walkway winds up, leading to a solemn treasure among the lush mountains and trees.

The huge door with red lacquer and copper nails opened slowly, bypassing the embossed bluestone screen wall of Tantric Buddhism, and the open vestibule was facing a majestic palace.

Nine-storey Futu Pavilion, with a plaque hanging on the door, with the words "Qingyu Temple" written on it. There is no real Buddha in the hall, but a huge statue of Tengyuan's green dragon, which is twisted and majestic. , more than ten feet up and down, just like a sea of ​​clouds crossing, with Lin claws appearing.

Qingyu Temple was formerly known as Daqinglong Temple, the first Tantric temple in the empire.

The real Buddha has no form, so it is only offered to the green dragon.

Today's Qingyu Temple is not just a monastery, except for the twenty eminent monks and novice monks who often attend Qinglong, all the top warriors in the empire enter and leave the Qingyu Temple.

As the head of the Qingyu Palace, Wen Ge, the national teacher, commands the invincible weapon.

Pei Heng and Xu Jin entered the Qingyu Hall, and the monk greeted them with palms together, and then retreated to the back of the hall.

Xu Jin hid his spiritual power, and Wen Ge would find out that he was a demon, but he couldn't see more.

In and out of the courtyard and the main hall, all warriors who are nine feet tall and have a good face.They wore straight crow-blue warrior uniforms, dark-patterned collars, arrow-sleeved armor, and various weapons on their bodies. Some of them were used to covering their faces, and their steps were all proud and steady. The mountains are strict and motionless.

The two stood in the main hall, the morning light from the mountains shone into the carved hall door, and the inner murals painted gold and embroidered red in the hall, standing in front of the giant dragon statue whose top could not be seen at a glance, the person was as small as a mustard seed.

Wen Ge walked in, wearing a light green robe, black hair hanging behind his shoulders, and a jade hairpin tied simply, his face was gentle and elegant, diluting the majesty of the Qingyu Hall.

"The prince is a rare visitor." Wen Ge smiled, and the three of them sat down at the stone table under the ancient tree in the courtyard at the back of the hall.

He looked at Xu Jin, still with a friendly smile: "My lord brought this little friend back to Beijing."

The warriors passing by took another look at Xu Jin, and Wen Ge said thoughtfully, "This little friend looks like a warrior."

Xu Jin nodded slightly to Wen Ge, his cold and coquettish brows were calm and introverted, and he didn't say anything.

The status of imperial warriors is very high, especially those born in the Qingyu Temple are respected. They do not kneel when they see the emperor, and they do not worship when they see powerful officials. They have authority and glory.The Great Yan Empire has been standing for 300 years, which is closely related to the protection of the warriors of the empire.

Wen Ge said this, which showed that Xu Jin was enough to be included in this list after he came out of the Wuming Hall.

"He has already met His Majesty." Pei Heng took a sip of tea from Qingyu Palace and said with a faint smile.

Wen Ge understood Pei Heng's meaning, and said calmly, "The prince's headache has gotten better recently? As soon as summer comes, Fang Zi should also adjust it."

Pei Heng said: "Master Wen, what do you think is the source of my illness? Is it related to the soul and heart?"

Wen Gemo was silent for a moment, and said: "I also doubted it before, but the prince is a royal family, and I can't easily spy on the soul. But did the prince find anything unusual?"

Pei Heng sighed, and said calmly: "I just heard that the symptoms of losing my soul are quite similar to mine, so I came to ask by the way, Mr. Wen, don't need to think too much."

After thinking about it, Wen Ge said: "My lord, the loss of soul must be caused by human beings. Too many things happened 12 years ago..."

Pei Heng lowered his eyes and said, "It's been so many years, it's very difficult to find the root cause."

Wen Ge cautiously suggested: "It's better to start now. If the prince loses his soul, the lost soul must still be with the person who killed him back then. Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and the soul-snatcher cannot easily destroy the soul, otherwise It was also backfired by itself.”

When Xu Jin heard about this, he completely let go of the idea of ​​taking Pei Heng away.

Wen Ge is capable, but as a national teacher, there are many restrictions, and Pei Heng can only get a hint from him.

After leaving the Qingyu Hall, Xu Jin and Pei Heng slowly walked down the long stone steps.

The bauhinia on the side of the mountain road brushed Pei Heng's sleeve robe, and he looked at the hundreds of squares at the bottom of the mountain covered by clouds and mist, and asked: "Xu Jin, even if I find that soul, I am just a mortal, Long Zhang Same, do you understand?"

Xu Jin said: "It makes no difference to me whether you are a god or a mortal, there will always be a way."

At the foot of the mountain is Gyeonggi City Square. Pei Heng and Xu Jin walked through the busy streets and walked not far to the wide street on the west side of the palace. It was quiet and quiet. After leaving the palace, Jiangling became lively again.

It was rare for the two of them to stroll in the market, and when they came out of the side street and set foot on the main road of the capital, they heard a commotion in front of them.

There were no soldiers and guards to clear the way, but the carriages and pedestrians on the street consciously avoided, opening up a road that could accommodate two carriages as if dividing the sea.

Pei Heng and Xu Jin stopped talking, and looked over, and saw a handsome young man in a brocade suit walking in front, with his left hand behind his back, his right arm horizontally, and a small bamboo birdcage in his hand.

Behind the young man was a large chariot carried by eight people, above which was a row of beech wood shelves like peacock screens.

The shelf was fan-shaped, firmly fixed on the chariot, covered with birdcages of various colors, large and small, gilt copper, sandalwood, huanghuali wood, inlaid with gems, and as small as an exquisite cage for a lark's thrush. , as big as a half-person-high cage with white peacocks squatting, only to hear chirping and chirping, mixed with the neighing of starling parrots, it seems that all the treasures of feathered birds from all over the world are collected in it.

The young man in Chinese clothes carrying a birdcage walked in front, with a peacock behind his back, like a bird facing a phoenix, it can be said to be incomparably coquettish.

The people along the street watched it with great interest, and sometimes the cars and sedan chairs of officials and wealthy businessmen would park by the street, and the people inside would come down and greet the young man, obviously he was a powerful person.

"Who is this?" Xu Jin frowned.

The smile on Pei Heng's face was a little stiff.

The next moment, the young man didn't have a good eye, he caught sight of Pei Heng, his face was overjoyed, he threw the birdcage to the attendant behind him, and warmly greeted him with open arms: "Ah—Uncle Jiu!"

Pei Heng didn't let him hug successfully, patted the young man on the shoulder, glanced at the chariot of birds, and said, "Why do you walk the birds as soon as you return to Beijing?"

"I was in a hurry all the way, and the carriage is so stuffy, why don't you come out quickly to let them breathe." The young man chuckled, rubbed his hands, and looked at Xu Jin, "Is this... is it the princess from the East China Sea? "

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Pei Heng slapped him on the back, "If your servant lifts the bird stand on its side, what kind of traffic will be blocked?"

The young man was obedient, he greeted Xu Jin with a playful smile, and asked his servant to send his love bird back.

Pei Heng introduced a few words to Xu Jin, and Xu Jin greeted the boy coldly.

This bird-walking boy is King Huaiyuan, the twelfth cousin of the current Holy Majesty, and Pei Heng's little nephew.According to the imperial conferment and amnesty system, the princes of this generation are given two-character titles.And Pei Heng has no royal brothers of the same generation, and is the only one-character conferred prince.

On the first day of entering Beijing today, King Huaiyuan was delighted to see Pei Heng.

Before he could say a few more words, a servant not far away ran over in a panic: "Little prince, that, that... Xue Jinqueer is about to die..."

Pei Heng looked at King Huaiyuan with some concern. Twelve nephews love birds as much as life, and one has to cry a few times to die. Walking a bird in the street is shameful enough. If he throws himself into his arms and cries on the street, he plans to cut off his uncle and nephew on the spot. relation.

But King Huaiyuan's reaction was unexpected, he just sighed calmly: "Take it back and pack it up and bury it."

The servant retreated tremblingly.

Pei Heng asked curiously: "Why don't you see you being sad, finally you don't take playthings as your lifeline?"

King Huaiyuan approached vicissitudes of life, opened his eyelids, and showed the red blood in his eyes: "Uncle Nine, the closer I get to the capital, the happier my baby will die. There are too many deaths and I can't cry. The tears are all dry." .Once the sea was too difficult for the water, the belt gradually became wider and I never regretted it. Uncle Nine, you know..."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand." Pei Heng had goosebumps all over his body, "Is it the acclimatization? It didn't happen in previous years."

Huaiyuan Wang looked serious: "It's just that there is something strange, I plan to go to the Qingyu Palace to pay a visit to Master Wen Ge. By the way, Uncle Jiu, my sister-in-law is back for the palace banquet tomorrow, so you will go too?" He looked at Xu Jin again. , smiled, "I fell in love with this young master as soon as I saw him, will you go tomorrow too?"

"Why worry so much?" Pei Heng comforted Prince Huaiyuan with a few words, and the little prince made an appointment to come to the mansion for dinner in the evening.

Xu Jin and Pei Heng walked into the mansion, Xu Jin said: "His bird didn't die normally, it was harmed by the devil energy, and it prevented the disaster for him. I'm afraid they will be followed along the way close to the capital."

Pei Heng paused: "Someone wants to harm him?"

He thought that almost everyone gathered in the capital recently, Yan Yunhou, Huaiyuan King, including the aunt that Huaiyuan King just mentioned, that is, Princess Rouzhang.As for the gold cluster case, Feng Xuansi is about to close the case.

After entering the palace, Xu Jin seemed to have considered it carefully, and stood still under the corridor, holding Pei Heng's hand: "Cheng Yin, tomorrow's palace banquet..."

You accompany me into the palace. "Pei Heng held his hand back, and said with a smile, "You must protect this king. "

Xu Jin's heart skipped a beat, as if he saw the person with the bright smile in Huajian when they first met in Yunfu Sea Realm.
