After Empress Dowager Chu explained, she didn't say anything and asked Lin Quan to retreat.

After Lin Quan left, when he was about to look for Nie Yunfeng, Chu Tiankuo appeared, Chu Tiankuo looked at Lin Quan and frowned, and asked Lin Quan: "What are you doing here?" ”

"It's just to visit the Empress Dowager Chu, and please don't worry about it."

"You kid, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp, but it's better for you to see the Empress Dowager Chu rarely, she is now concentrating on the Tao, your bloody qi will only dissipate the pure and moral qi here."

Lin Quan said yes, and then was about to retreat, Chu Tiankuo suddenly said, "Boy, you haven't forgotten her, right?" ”

Lin Quan's heart was like a needle prick, his face showed a look of pain, seeing Lin Quan in such pain, Chu Tiankuo sighed and said: "You, you, alas, why should I let her torture you, forget it, forget it, this is all fate, you can't force it." ”

When Chu Tiankuo said this, he sighed and said: "All living beings are suffering, all sentient beings are evil, you and I have always been ordinary people, maybe the girl is alive, and I can't bear to see you like this." ”

"It's a pity that I have failed her affection, if there is really a reward, then I am willing to repay what I owe to her in life and reincarnation."

"Let's go."

Lin Quan didn't find Nie Yunfeng, but instead saw Yin Luo, Yin Luo said to Lin Quan, "Master Lin, who are you looking for?" ”

"Daoist Yin, I'm looking for you, Empress Dowager Chu asked me to tell you, I hope to meet you on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month." Lin Quan said this, looked around, and continued: "When the time comes, I hope to be able to make a decision." ”

When Yin Luo heard the news, he was very calm and asked Lin Quan if there was anything else, and Lin Quan said that he had said everything he had to say, and there was nothing to say.

Yin Luo asked Lin Quan to invite, and Lin Quan left the mountain first and went to live in a post house in a nearby county.

He also instructed Yi Cheng that there was no need to tell the magistrate about his arrival, and Yi Cheng thought that Lin Quan had come here with a secret edict, and he didn't dare to do it.

Now in the countryside, it is rumored that the saint is seeking a true immortal, maybe Lin Quan came to this Zhouliu Mountain to find the true immortal.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Quan changed his clothes, and when he arrived in the mountains, he was like an ordinary pilgrim, burning incense and worshiping God in various halls, very pious.

In the evening, Lin Quan went outside the courtyard where the Empress Dowager Chu was, and the Empress Dowager Chu also let Lin Quan in.

Lin Quan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the Empress Dowager Chu wearing filial piety clothes, and when he was about to say something, the Empress Dowager Chu said calmly: "Can't you see through today's events?" ’

"After I understand the cause and effect, you can ask Yunfeng to put this chilling cicada bead in it and tell the saint that I hope to be buried with Sejong in the end, instead of living in a separate dormitory."

Lin Quan said yes, this is the Empress Dowager Chu continued: "But the sage will not agree, it's just that, if he can fulfill my wish, I will naturally be grateful under Jiuquan." If not, that's fate. Maybe Sejong, the only one who wants to be buried together is your mother. ”

When the Empress Dowager Chu said this, she told Lin Quan that Wei Sisi's tomb was behind Aiwan Mountain and was guarded by a person surnamed Zhou.

Lin Quan's heart was sour, for so many years, he could only set up a mound to commemorate his mother, after all, what Wei Sisi did, Yu Ting could not set up a grave for him, and the whereabouts of the corpse were also disagreed.

Lin Quan bowed three times and thanked the Empress Dowager Chu for telling him the news.

It didn't take long for Nie Tianyuan's family to arrive, Nie Tianyuan and Yin Luo looked at the Empress Dowager Chu with complicated expressions, and the Empress Dowager Chu said calmly: "Things have causes and effects, and today's things have long been realized by Poor Dao." ”

"Really? Queen Mother, if Qian Duoduo hadn't told us, would you really have such an enlightenment? ”

Empress Dowager Chu looked at Nie Yunfeng and said with a smile: "That day, why do I need your hands to kill a lot of money, it's just that there are some things that I don't want to say, so I have to find someone to speak for me." ”

When the Empress Dowager Chu said this, she continued: "For so many years, there are few people in the court who can understand my mind, and I can only take many words to heart. I live by scheming, and many people hate me and hate me, and I don't care. ”

When Empress Dowager Chu said this, she looked at Lin Yinluo and said, "Your father's family also died in the hands of the Four Holy Divisions, you know this. Even the brothers of the family were greedy for wealth and wealth, and finally died in the hands of Yin Luo, which can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect, and the retribution is unhappy. ”

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Chu smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "You all think that what I have done is wrong, but I don't think much that after I am the prince of the country, I should do my best for the country, and some means are also necessary." I don't expect you to understand, because it's hard to say right or wrong about these things. ”

Yin Luo listened to the words of the Empress Dowager Chu, and said to the Empress Dowager Chu: "This is just your excuse, it is true that you are serving the dynasty, but the court is gathered by the righteous path of the world, and you do such a trick, wouldn't it be a shame for the court." ”

Nie Tianyuan opened his mouth at this time and said: "Ah Luo, this matter, this matter, the fairy is not wrong, some of it has passed, right and wrong, and there is no need to distinguish between right and wrong." Fairy, I am very grateful to you, although you want to borrow our hand to get rid of Zhao Muzun, but you have indeed helped us a lot, we can have today, fairy, you also have credit. ”

Empress Dowager Chu looked at Nie Tianyun, sang a Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, and said to Nie Tianyun: "I didn't expect that you have devoted yourself to cultivation all these years and have reached a certain level. ”

"Although it is time to repay the wrongs, but there is a cause and there must be an effect, fairy, please."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Chu smiled and said to Nie Yunfeng, "Okay, everyone follow me to the main hall." ”

Empress Dowager Chu stood up, led everyone to the main hall, and then summoned all the Taoists.

Next, the Empress Dowager Chu sat at the top and began to recite the Taishang Sutra.

The Daoists didn't know who they were preparing to overtake, but they also followed the Empress Dowager Chu to read it there.

Seeing this situation, Lin Quan said to Chu Tiankuo, "Chu Daxia, do you really want to be like this?" ”

"The Queen Mother has made up her mind, maybe this is the best result."

Chu Tiankuo said, and then read it along.

When everyone finished reading, Empress Dowager Chu showed a bright smile on her face, and said to the surroundings: "Today, the poor Dao will take off the fire house, achieve a pure and moral body, and be free from nothing." ”

After the Empress Dowager Chu finished speaking, her head hung down.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this situation, and at this time, Nie Yunfeng stepped forward, took his pulse, and said to the surroundings: "If the water real person has been dissolved, he will be immortalized." ”

Everyone recited the ritual again, and then Kun Dao collected the funeral for the Empress Dowager Chu.

A Taoist went to the county seat to find the magistrate, and the magistrate learned the news in the middle of the night and hurriedly took people to the mountain.

At this time, Lin Quan also asked people to go to the post house to spread the word, so that the capital could make arrangements as soon as possible.

At noon the next day, Dingguo Gong personally brought people to see off his sister, and he heard that the Taoists around him said that the Empress Dowager Chu was dismembered, so he asked people to put on red candles and deal with them as a red and white matter. above

On the third day, King Liang also went to the mountains to see off his mother.

On the fourth day, King Liang, as a filial son, accompanied by the Duke of Dingguo, sent the Empress Dowager Chu down the mountain to return to Beijing.

Along the way, the gentry and common people of Wuliang Mansion were all vegetarian.

The body of the Empress Dowager of Chu was parked on the Dingguo Mansion of King Liang and Dingguo for a day, so that the relatives of the Empress Dowager Chu could pay respects.

Out of Wuliang Mansion, the escort was handed over to Lin Quan, where Lin Quan passed, all stopped playing for three days, and when he arrived in Xijing City, King Qin, who had never been out of the palace of the vassal king, also came to worship his brother and sister-in-law in person.

When they arrived at Nanzhili, the imperial court ordered to come down and let Lin Quan directly lead the Empress Dowager Chu to the imperial tomb, and the saint would personally greet them in Tianfu City.

And the name of the Empress Dowager Chu also came down, and she was called the Empress Dowager of Filial Piety.

The nickname is there, the spirit card has also been changed, and the county officials of the prefecture and county greet them, and they are all honored as the Empress Dowager of Filial Piety.

Lin Quan didn't think this nickname was too appropriate.

But this is set by the saint, so it is difficult for him to say anything.

When he arrived in Tianfu City, sure enough, the saint also served filial piety, and as a son, he knelt down and saluted to the Empress Dowager Xiaoci.

On the way to the imperial tomb, the sage summoned Lin Quan and asked: "Lin Quan, if you don't make a sound, you will go to Zhouliu Mountain, is there something strange about this matter." ”

Lin Quan said that this was the Empress Dowager Xiaoci who asked Chu Yan to tell him directly, and he didn't know what the so-called thing was, so he thought it was nothing serious, so he didn't tell the saint, and went to Zhouliu Mountain,

After Lin Quan finished speaking, he hurriedly pleaded guilty, saying that whether he knew it or not, he was also guilty this time, and asked the saint to punish him.

Lin Quan asked what happened that day, and Lin Quan also said, and finally told the saint the last wish of the Empress Dowager Xiaoci.

The sage frowned rarely, and finally sighed and said: "It's not that my son is unwilling to obey the queen mother's last wish, but Lin Quan, Shizong has four concubines, if other queen mothers are like this, what should I do." ”

Lin Quan said that the Empress Dowager Xiaoci has knowledge and can understand the difficulties of the saint, and he also said that the Empress Dowager Xiaoci is not for her own selfishness, but for the sake of a funeral.

The sage naturally said yes, thinking that the Empress Dowager Xiaoci was working hard, but it was a pity that he couldn't fulfill it.

Lin Quan's reason is very far-fetched, when this imperial mausoleum was built, there was already a mausoleum of the four concubines, even if the Empress Dowager Xiaoci did not enter her mausoleum, there would be no funeral.

The sage finally said: "Although the Queen Mother is an immortal, everything is still the same funeral. ”

Lin Quan said yes, and the sage asked him to step back.

Lin Quan returned to the tent, and at this time Chen Jingjing and the others also came. Chen Jingjing looked around the tent for a while, and returned to the room, although she asked for warmth, her hand was written, asking Lin Quan what was going on.

Lin Quan also told them what was going on in writing, and after writing, Lin Quan sighed and said: "The Empress Dowager of filial piety, she is really a master of Taoism, and she flies away like this, I don't know how many cultivators I want to envy." ”

Chen Jingjing didn't reply, but Yin Lihua nodded and said, "The karma is broken, and the Tao is ascending." ”
