Grandma Sha wanted to hug him, but her hands passed through Xiang Tianyu's body and she hugged him empty. Yes, her son was already dead.
The little body gradually became cold.
She cried until she died, and tried every means to save him. What came back this time was her son's soul.
She used a little magic to hug her son's soul, and he was still the same little child as before.
Grandma Sha cried out and held him tightly in her arms.
"Tianyu, my mother has been thinking of you and looking for you every day for the past thirty years. I have searched all over the underworld, but I still can't find you!"
She felt sad, and the grievances and torture she had suffered for thirty years were released at this moment.
Chen Shi quietly exited the room, leaving the mother and son behind. At this time, it was better to let the mother and son talk about the pain of separation.
He turned around and saw Chen Tang standing outside.
Chen Tang showed a rare smile and said, "It must have been very hard for you to bring these people back from the underworld alive, and you took a lot of risks."
Chen Shi shook his head: "It's not hard at all, and I didn't encounter any danger."
Chen Tang frowned slightly, thinking of the dangers he and Granny Sha had encountered when they went to look for Chen Shi and the hardships they had gone through along the way, he felt that there must be some misunderstanding.
Probably Chen Shi had grown up and didn't want his old father to worry. He thought in his heart.
"When Xiang Tianyu comes back, my mother-in-law will have one less thing to worry about. All her busy life is actually to find her son."
Chen Tang whispered, "But Xiang Tianyu is dead, and he is still a ghost when he is found. I don't know how she will arrange it."
He cited scriptures and said: "In the Chinese continent, there is a saying of molding a golden body. You can mold a golden body for the rain to the sky, so that it can appear holy and gain incense from the people to become a god. You can also use lotus roots and lotus leaves to recreate the lotus root body, which is also a kind of Method. You can use the puppet method or the Yanshi method to create a physical body. Or you can use the method passed down by your grandfather, Talisman Creation, to create a body for him."
Chen Shi said: "Perhaps we can also reincarnate him, or enter the body of a child who has just died and resurrect his body. Granny Sha is a master in this way. We can all come up with many ways, but she will only come up with more."
Chen Tang nodded.
The father and son walked out, and Chen Tang said: "I'll boil the medicine first, and you can rest for a while. Granny Sha's great sorrow and joy will definitely damage her soul, so I'll prepare the medicine first..."
Chen Shi asked behind him: "Dad, I want to kill the young master and win the first prize, will you support me?" Chen Tang's body trembled slightly, he stopped and smiled. There was a great joy in his heart, which made his eyes a little swollen. moist.
He turned around with warm eyes and said with a smile: "You are my son, of course I support you." Even if you break the news, I will support you!
He said silently in his heart: Xijing.
On the twentieth day after the accident occurred, Yan Jiuzhi, the Minister of Rites, had to give up searching for Juren who had fallen into the underworld.
Three of the officials in Shanglinyuan Prison were exhausted, but they still could not find the whereabouts of these people.
The incident of the Fairy in White caused 644 people to fall into the underworld, and soon only 427 people died. When Yan Jiuzhi gave up and continued the search, another 76 people died, and there were still 76 people left.
Three hundred and fifty one.
However, twenty days have passed, and these 351 people are afraid of bad luck. We can no longer search.
Yan Guzhi asked the Ministry of Rites to spread the news. After twenty days of fire rescue, they rescued a cat named He Wei from the underworld. It was said to be a cat nourished by the Fifth Army. On the day of the martial arts test, he accidentally entered the Xianqiao Paradise and ended up falling.
To the underworld.
In order to rescue this innocent kitten, the Ministry of Rites sacrificed sixteen minor officials, and only one Li Jiu finally rescued the kitten He Wei from the mouths of ghosts and gods in the underworld.
At this point, everyone in the capital knows about this cat named He Wei. As for the 644 Juren who fell into the underworld, who knows their names? They are probably just numbers.
Yan Jiuzhi settled the matter and secretly made up his mind that the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army must confess his guilt for this incident. He must distance himself from the relationship and must not be slandered by the two bastards of the Xia family. Of course, on the surface, the Ministry of Rites still wanted to
Continue to search for those Juren to avoid being attacked by Qingliu.
However, what happened in the next few days made Yan Guzhi know what it means to have a sinister heart.
In the court, he was read by two brothers, Xia Fanghe and Xia Shuoying, who said that the Ministry of Rites, in charge of the exam, did not plan in advance and did not pay attention to the danger, which resulted in the death of so many people and soldiers of the fifth army camp, and caused many problems.
Senior, it almost caused disaster to Xijing.
The important treasure of the Fifth Army Camp, the Xianqiao Blessed Land, was also lost. The Department of Rites is also responsible for this! "You guys fart!"
Yan Jiuzhi was so angry that he was trembling all over. He argued hard in the court and angrily scolded the two Xia brothers for having selfish motives and changing the geography of Xianqiao Blessed Land, causing the Blessed Land to lose control and hit the realm of ghosts and gods in Qixia Temple, which caused such a big disaster.
Xia Fanghe and Xia Shuoying sneered and asked him to produce evidence. Of course he couldn't produce it.
Then a group of Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy attacked the camp of the Ministry of Rites and killed many people who were attending the Spring Festival. The Minister of Rites was incompetent and failed to rescue. Yan Gu was so angry that he cursed on the spot and shouted: "These days, only I, the Ministry of Rites, are
Where the hell were you when we were working so hard to save people?"
The Qingliu people then ignored his failure to rescue and began to attack his character. They brought up the fact that he had married many concubines and that the concubines were jealous and beat people to death.
He also said that he kept many concubines, and the eldest wife and his concubines took their servants to kill the concubines.
Then he mentioned his unclear affair with some married women, and also implicated other officials in the court.
Yan Guzhi's heart felt cold. These Hanlin bachelors were raised by the Xia family. It was obvious that the two Xia family brothers had already made preparations. In order to get rid of the guilty party, they would file a complaint first and prepare to put the crime on him.
These two brothers are first-rank officials, and he is a second-rank official. Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for the Xia family to give up two first-rank officials, but the Yan family can give up on him, a second-rank official.
It's ridiculous that he has been trying to save people these days, but he is afraid that he will be abandoned.
Sure enough, the cabinet announced at the court that he, the Minister of Rites, would be suspended for investigation, and Yang Shaoqing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, would temporarily take over the post of Minister and take care of the follow-up to the Spring Palace.
Yang Shaoqing, the Minister of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, acted vigorously and resolutely, and soon promulgated the Spring Golden List and set the rankings for those who passed the examination.
The young master will be the Huiyuan, and then three hundred Jinshi will be appointed and stay in the capital on standby. The rest of the candidates can return to their hometowns or have other appointments.
Yang Shaoqing immediately sent an order for 300 Jinshi people to conduct the imperial examination in the Zhongji Hall on May 20th. There was great joy in the Assistant Pavilion.
"Young master, you have a destiny. I hope God will help you this time."
Cao Ji's office cried with joy and said, "Young Master's two major rivals, Chen Shi and Zhang You, have both fallen into the underworld, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead. In this palace examination, Young Master will definitely win the first place!"
The chief lieutenants of the Fuzheng Pavilion offered wine and the chief clerk was extremely happy. Shui Xuanzhi couldn't help but smile and said: "Actually, I think it would be better to leave one or two opponents behind. After a wonderful battle, the young master won the battle." If you win, you will become famous all over the world."
Officials from all over Xijing also came to the Xiuxiu Pavilion to visit the young master, ranging from the Governor of the Fifth Army to the Vice Minister of the Sixth Ministry, Yuanwai Lang, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, General Affairs Department, and Honglu Temple. Waiting for the Yamen, officials from various departments also came to visit.
Qin Su planned to block these people because the young master wanted to practice. Shui Xuanzhi shook his head and said: "The number one scholar has been decided. Now it's time for the young master to meet with all the officials to calm people's hearts."
So the young master met with officials from all sides.
Shui Xuanzhi added: "Before the palace examination, let's build momentum first."
The people in Fuzheng Pavilion then published the articles written by the young master in the examination, and bribed some scholars to interpret and deconstruct the meaning of the articles word for word. Every sentence must be quoted from scriptures, and they must write a eloquent thousand-word essay and demonstrate it repeatedly.
Most of the talented people who have no money or power would be happy to be given three melons and two dates. Even cow dung can blow a flower. What's more, these articles were written by junior officials in the Ministry of Rites, which are already extremely outstanding. .
Fuzheng Pavilion also bribed some monks and Taoists from Senglu Division and Daolu Division to let them publicize the merits of the prince in Xijing, various things about rewarding good and punishing evil, various legendary experiences, and even the visions when the prince was born. version.
Some say that when the young master was born, golden lotuses swelled from the ground. Some said that before the young master was born, his mother dreamed of purple stars flying across the sky and falling into her belly. Others said that when the young master was born, there was a red light that lingered for three days. The young master When he was born, he was protected by the true god, blessed by the true god from outside the world, and so on. Then he asked Qianhu from Qianhusuo to challenge the young master, but was defeated by the young master in an upright manner. Qianhu accepted the defeat and kowtowed to the young master in public, thanking him for his advice.
He also asked the various generals from the Wei Commander's Division, the Capital Commander's Division, the Jingwei Commander's Division, the Five Army Commander's Office, the Shenji Camp, and the Shenshu Camp to challenge the Young Master. If they were defeated by the Young Master, or received a few words of advice from the Young Master, , or shed tears of gratitude and thank the young master for not killing him.
There are also many rumors that the young master is not the son of Lord Ren Xiaoren, Minister of the Ministry of War, but an adopted son. The young master is not named Ren, but actually his surname is Zhu. He is a true queen and a prince with a genuine Miaohong roots.
This time the young master went to Beijing, it was actually the beginning of good fortune for Xiniu Xinzhou, calling for a true king to lead the people of Xiniu Xinzhou out of bad luck.
Then there was an old fortune teller on the street who said that if the purple energy came from the east, there would be a true king alive. There was also a fox outside Xijing shouting in the middle of the night: "When the number one scholar comes out, the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous!" Many people heard it.
In a few days, the young master's reputation spread all over the capital, and everyone knew about it. There was a lot of discussion in Xijing.
On May 20th, the palace examination begins.
The inside and outside of the Zhongji Hall were heavily guarded. The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion changed into bowl-mouth blunderbuss, the Shenshu Battalion set up their battle formations, and the Five Military Battalions stood guard outside.
Officials from the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial Academy, the Sixth Ministry, the Cabinet, the Three Dukes, the Three Gus, the Prince's Third Master, the Prince's Third Young Master, etc. all gathered together. The Cabinet set up a literary test and then a martial arts test.
Three days of big exams.
During the Literary Examination, the young master's article was filled with light, and the words were like pearls, floating in the sky, shining like stars, which attracted the people of Xijing to look up and read. When they heard that the vision was caused by the young master's article, they were even more excited.
.
On the third day, there was a martial arts test. Many Jinshi people worshiped him and did not dare to compete with the young master.
As for the No. 2 overall pick and the second- and third-place finishers, the decision has already been made in the Jinshi martial arts test, but it's just a matter of process.
Zhang Fuzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, took a long breath, stood up, and said solemnly: "The imperial examination is over, and the number one in today's martial arts examination is..."
"Who said the martial arts test is over?"
A loud voice came, alarming all the officials in Xijing, and they all followed the sound. The Zhongji Hall is located on a high ground, and everyone was condescending, but they saw the righteousness between heaven and earth like a rainbow, coming from a distance, stretching for more than a hundred miles, reaching
In Xijing, at the end of the righteousness of heaven and earth, a young man was walking towards Zhongji Hall.
Behind him, there are young people, both male and female, with the spirit of a dragon and a horse, and their aura stretches across the sky, connecting the righteousness of heaven and earth.
Hundreds of people walked through the long street. On both sides of the street were the people of Xijing, who looked at them with surprised and curious eyes.
People were extremely shocked. These people who were destined to die had been trapped in the underworld for a month, and they actually came back alive!
Once upon a time, these Juren who fell into the underworld touched people's hearts, but were later replaced by a cat. But how could these people who were destined to die come out alive? Juren was so majestic that when more than 300 people came forward, they were united and gave birth to a cat.
The oppressive feeling of people approaching the capital with thousands of troops and horses.
Their steps coincided with the formation, and they had a creepy murderous aura.
The officers of the fifth military camp guarding the inner city were so aroused by the murderous spirit when facing these people that they couldn't help but unfurl their talisman soldiers and prepare for the attack.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion couldn't help but raise their bowl-mouth guns and aim at these people.
Jin Hongying was furious. She kicked one soldier over and knocked another one over with her punch. She shouted, "Why are you raising your gun? Did I tell you to raise your gun? That's raising people. Do you want to rebel? Put it down. Put it down for me!"
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion lowered their guns.
Several commanders in the Fifth Army Camp turned around and looked at the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, Xia Fanghe and Xia Shengying. However, the two commanders were in the Zhongji Hall at the moment and they could not receive instructions.
The faces of Xia Fang He and Xia Chou Ying are also uncertain. If an order is given at this time to kill these people, it will definitely clear up the great trouble for the young master.
However, they ordered the execution of more than 300 Juren, and neither of them wanted their heads!
The two brothers remained motionless. Even if Shui Xuanzhi kept looking at them, they pretended not to see them.
Chen Shi led his entire army and marched straight in. In full view of the crowd, he walked into the Meridian Gate. The righteousness of heaven and earth was as bright as the sun and moon hanging in the sky, giving people a feeling that the righteousness of heaven and earth will last forever.
The long-lasting gloom in the inner city seems to have been swept away!
Chen Shi and three hundred and fifty other candidates climbed the steps of Zhongji Hall and walked up step by step. "Student Chen Shi!"
In front of the Zhongji Hall, the civil and military ministers of Xijing looked at the stone steps and heard a sonorous and powerful voice coming from under the stone steps. The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the whole city of Xijing, clearly and distinctly inside and outside●
"A month ago, I encountered a great disaster. I fell into the underworld with others, traveled through dangerous mountains, fought against ghosts and gods, slayed ghost monks, quelled the demonic atmosphere, and fought for thousands of miles. After going through hardships and dangers, I returned to Beijing today to take part in the palace examination!"
Chen Shi's face caught the eyes of the officials, followed by his upper body, then his whole body, and then the faces of the candidates, who were young and full of vigor.
Chen Shi looked past the civil and military officials and landed on the young master kneeling at His Highness Zhongji. His voice vibrated like gold and iron, unable to conceal his murderous intent.
Chapter completed!
