Chapter 251 Cui Zhi's Death

Last time, we talked about the surprise attack of the Black Armor Camp, and the King of Zhenbei led his troops to stop the Xiongnu army that came for revenge. After teaching the Xiongnu a lesson, it was time to deal with the old Xianbei people and the founding nobles, so let's look at what he plans to do with Li Yi.

After the war, Li Yi was exhausted of his righteousness, and the damage from the previous Nine Nether Sealing had not yet healed, so he really couldn't hold on this time. As mentioned before, people have three treasures: spirit, energy, and spirit. Now Li Yi's spirit has been severely damaged, and his righteousness has also been consumed. This is equivalent to losing two of the three treasures. It would be strange if he could recover.

Li Yi was in a coma for three days and three nights without waking up. The Zhenbei Palace invited all the famous doctors nearby, but everyone shook their heads. They could not cure Li Yi's problem at all. Seeing their husband like this, Shiyu and others were also very anxious and tried to find a solution.

Shiyu went to various temples to seek help from eminent monks. When the monks arrived, they said there was no other way except chanting sutras. However, she chanted sutras a lot, but there was no improvement. Shiyu was so anxious that her mouth was full of blisters. She could only burn incense and pray to the Buddha, praying to the Bodhisattva to appear.

Bailing had no other means, so she could only ask Liu Ruyun for help. After all, Sister Ruyun was knowledgeable and might have a way. But Liu Ruyun refused to enter the Zhenbei Palace no matter what, saying that she looked down on Dugu Rong. Even if Bailing knelt down to beg her, she would not agree. She could only guess by asking the doctors who treated Li Yi. This was like scratching an itch with cotton pants, which was not helpful at all. But to be honest, even if Liu Ruyun really went to see him, she would not be able to break it, which made Bailing so anxious that her voice became hoarse.

Zhao Hanfeng had no one to rely on and no one to turn to. No matter how Yuehua tried to persuade her, she stayed by Li Yi's bedside day and night. She became thinner and haggard.

Tuoba Ziyi came to the palace to see Li Yi and also secretly observed Shiyu and others. As an outsider, she didn't know what to say or how to help.

On the fifth day of Li Yi's coma, only Yu Jiu still believed that Li Yi was fine. He continued to practice martial arts and eat as before. The only difference was that he often went to Lin Fan for advice.

On the seventh day, a Taoist priest came to the Zhenbei Palace. Everyone thought he was a savior sent by the heavens. However, when the Taoist priest saw Li Yi, he just smiled and said, "You have brought this upon yourself! Who told you not to listen to me and disrupt the battle between the Tiandi Sect and the Di Sect? Well, since we are destined to be together, I will help you once more. However, whether it will succeed or not depends not only on you but also on heaven!"

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he suddenly grasped a brush with a vermilion tip and wrote the word "wake up" on Li Yi's forehead. However, after writing, Li Yi still did not wake up. When everyone was about to ask, they found that the Taoist priest had disappeared. This person was not someone else, but Wang Youjun, the Master of Mozhai!

The word "wake up" written by Wang Ru on Li Yi's forehead with cinnabar contained righteousness and spiritual power. As long as Li Yi could accept Wang Youjun's gift, he would wake up, but he couldn't do it because he had no spiritual power. The word "wake up" was written on Li Yi's forehead. Han Feng cursed the Taoist priest while helping Li Yi wipe it, but it couldn't be wiped off.

"That stinky Taoist priest must be sick. No matter how beautiful his handwriting is, what's the point! He hasn't woken up yet, and it can't be wiped off!"

Yu Jiu suddenly said, "Wang Youjun! The Taoist priest just now was the great scholar Wang Youjun! He was the one who taught you the ink fountain technique! I've seen him before, but I didn't recognize him even though he was dressed differently!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately stepped forward to check, "Yes, yes, it's the Calligraphy Saint. This is the calligraphy of the Calligraphy Saint! If Wang Ru had taken action, then the Sect Master would be fine!"

Han Feng said unhappily, "It's alright? How can it be alright? My husband hasn't even woken up yet!"

Lin Fan examined the word "Xing" on Li Yi's forehead, gathered his own righteous energy into his fingertips, and tapped the middle of the word "Xing". The purple energy merged, and the word "Xing" turned from red to purple, and then spread out, not like ink spreading out, but like the roots and branches of a tree growing and branching out.

The method Wang Youjun used to write this word is the method of pinching, which can only be mastered by great Confucian and Taoist Confucian scholars who have luxuriant Wenqi trees. Simply put, it is to pinch the top, removing the top advantage of the plant when it grows. For Confucian and Taoist Wenqi trees, this means that the Wenqi tree will no longer grow taller.

In other words, Wang Youjun gave up his chance to go further and put an end to his Confucian and Taoist cultivation in advance, which was also the reason why he came to see Li Yi as a Taoist priest. Since then, the calligrapher has stopped writing, and there is no longer a great Confucian Wang Youjun in the world, only a Taoist priest of the Tianzong sect, Mo Zhai Zhenren.

This method of pluck is not just as simple as suppressing one's own Wenqi tree. The deeper meaning is inheritance. Wang Youjun plucked the heart of his Wenqi tree and gave it to Li Yi, which means that he would give Li Yi the Wenqi he would get from his disciples in the future. This is amazing. He is a calligrapher. How could he remember the rubbings and copybooks of his calligraphy? Although he is not a named disciple, the master-disciple relationship is true. This is also the reason why Wang Youjun's Wenqi tree is a pine tree. Even though he has many apprentices, it is only reflected in the characters, so they are all pine needles.

This gift from Master Mo Zhai was very precious to Li Yi. Now with the help of Lin Fan, Li Yi received this gift. His Wentian was like a spring flowing in, a spring breeze blowing, and warm sun melting snow. Li Yi's osmanthus tree grew rapidly, and it seemed to be as thick as a thigh and ten feet high.

Looking at Li Yi's spiritual platform again, his consciousness was lying in front of the image of Acala, and the Buddha's light emitted by the image was slowly injected into his body to help him recover his mental strength. Suddenly, purple air attacked and quickly sank into Li Yi's body. The latter stood up suddenly and looked towards the southwest.

At this time, another singing voice came into the spiritual platform. Li Yi heard it clearly. It was Nangong Xue's voice, and it was crying. She should be playing the guitar that Li Yi gave her and singing the song "New Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Dream" that Li Yi gave her:

Yesterday was like the flowing water, it left me far away and could not be retained.

Today I am troubled and worried

Draw a sword to cut the water, the water will flow even faster; drink a cup to dispel sorrow, the sorrow will only get worse

明朝 清风 四 飘流

It has always been the case that only the new people laugh, who can hear the old people cry?

The word love is so hard

Should I ask for an answer or pretend to be confused?

知多知少难 知足

Looks like a pair of mandarin ducks and butterflies, it shouldn't be the era

But who can escape the sorrow of the world?

Colorful World Mandarin Duck Butterfly

It's already upside down in the world, why bother to go to heaven

It’s better to sleep together gently

Li Yi heard the determination and sadness in Nangong Xue's singing, and he shouted: Xue'er, did those people from Tianzong bully you? Did they force you to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness and force you to end your worldly relationship? Xue'er, wait for me, wait for me to rescue you!

In reality, Li Yi suddenly stood up, scaring everyone around the bed. When they reacted, they all threw themselves on Li Yi, complaining and talking, crying with joy...

Three days later, Li Yi recovered as normal and moved out of the Zhenbei Palace immediately. He wanted to implement his plan to instigate Erzhu Hui to rebel, and then make a show of force to suppress the rebellious Xianbei tribes and those founding heroes who were resting on their laurels.

Li Yi deliberately lived in Erzhu Hui's military horse farm, calling him a brother, as if they were friends for life and death. He also publicly said at a banquet that Erzhu Hui was a good brother who he could entrust his wife and children to. But the more Li Yi said this, the more Erzhu Hui restrained himself. Didn't he ask his confidant Gao Huan to find a way to cheat on him before? Now, not only did he not miss Li Yi's woman, he also sent his own woman to Li Yi.

This made Li Yi very embarrassed. Erzhu Hui had plundered many people in the Western Regions, and beautiful women were brought by cart. Facing the passionate and unrestrained grassland beauty, it was really an exotic love affair, and our great official Li almost couldn't control himself and fell completely.

The style of the painting suddenly changed. Originally, Li Yi had to carefully look after his female relatives, but now, his female relatives have to keep an eye on Li Yi, fearing that he would have an affair in broad daylight and fall into the enemy camp. Li Yi now feels like Liu Huangshu. Is it true that I have fought in wars all my life and cannot enjoy myself? Ignore them, continue playing the music and dancing!

Fortunately, Liu Bei had Zhao Yun by his side, and Li Yi had Shi Yu, who really gave him advice! After regaining his original intention, Li Yi launched a second wave of offensive, spurring!

After the banquet that day, Erzhu Hui once again invited Li Yi to stay overnight in the big tent. Shiyu scolded Li Yi in public, and then the two had a dispute. Shiyu took Bailing and Zhao Hanfeng and left, leaving only one sentence: "If you dare to mess around, never touch the three of us sisters again!"

After the three wives left, Li Yi cried to Erzhu Hui: "Brother Erzhu, look, look. As a wife, she dared to threaten her husband in public! How can this be tolerated!"

Er Zhuhui said with a smile: "Brother Li, I am not saying anything bad about you. My sister-in-law is indeed beautiful, much better than my brother and me, but she is a woman after all! She is an appendage of us men! If my wife dared to do this, I would have slapped her in the face! Otherwise, you can divorce her and I will help you find someone more considerate!"

Li Yi wiped his tears and said, "Alas, my wife married me when I was a nobody. Now that I have made a name for myself, I am afraid that if I divorce her, I will be criticized. This is absolutely not feasible."

"She, Wan Shiyu, is just a courtesan in a brothel. How can she be worthy of you, my brother? You have already given her a great favor by marrying her and honoring her as your legal wife. But she still treats you like this. I can't stand it anymore!

There is a beauty in the Helou tribe of the Six Xianbei Towns. She is definitely the most beautiful woman in our Xianbei! What do you call her in your Central Plains language? Ah, a beauty of the country and a fragrance of heaven! I will find her in the next two days. Take a look, brother. If you think she is suitable, you can divorce Shiyu and I will help you to find a husband!"

Li Yi looked at Erzhu Hui with a touched face and saluted, saying: "Brother Erzhu treats me so well!" After that, he thought for a moment and looked around, and whispered: "Brother Erzhu, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I want to say to you alone, I wonder..."

Erzhu Hui glanced at the officers and officers who were accompanying him to drink and said loudly, "All of you should leave. Let me talk to Brother Li Yi alone."

When everyone left and there were only two people left in the tent, Li Yi used his talent to block out the sound, and then said seriously: "Brother Erzhu, to be honest, I came here this time with a mission from His Majesty."

Erzhu Hui was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Why did your Majesty ask me to come here?"

"There are rumors that the soldiers and civilians of the Six Garrisons are dissatisfied with your Majesty's reforms and fear that a rebellion will occur, so your Majesty sent me here to suppress the Six Garrisons. Brother Erzhu also saw my battle with Dugu Long, and the effect was quite good. But this is not enough. If I don't kill these two people, I will not be able to report to you."

Er Zhuhui was surprised and asked, "Brother, what do you mean by saying these words to me?"

"I won't hide it from you now. At the beginning, His Majesty's sword was hanging over your head, Brother Erzhu! If I hadn't repeatedly assured His Majesty that Brother Erzhu was loyal, I'm afraid the sword would have been chopped off long ago!"

Erzhu Hui was about to bow and thank him, but Li Yi stopped him with his hand and said sternly: "Brother Erzhu, let me be honest with you. I am afraid that I can't protect you by myself. If you can't reassure His Majesty, I am afraid that His Majesty will send someone else to target you as soon as I leave."

"Reassure His Majesty? Brother, how can I reassure His Majesty?"

Li Yi said solemnly, "Your Majesty's biggest headache right now is the reorganization of the people in the six prefectures. I have found out that all the Xianbei tribes have concealed information or incorporated their people into their tribes to avoid military supplies. This matter involves military expenses and taxes, and Your Majesty must investigate it thoroughly. I say, Brother Erzhu, you should submit a letter of surrender to Your Majesty and hand over all the slaves that were concealed and the people incorporated into Erzhu. In this way, Your Majesty will not only be relieved, but will also praise you and entrust you with important tasks."

Erzhu Hui nodded in agreement on the surface, but as soon as Li Yi left, he immediately summoned his trusted subordinates to discuss the matter. When they heard what Li Yi said, they were all filled with resentment. They were all vested interests and naturally would not give up the benefits they had obtained.

Gao Huan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "General, Li Yi is putting you on the spot! If you don't report it, he will kill you with his sword. If you report it, you will become the public enemy of all the tribes in the Six Garrisons. No matter what, your life will not be easy. I hope you can make plans early."
