Jiajing Spiritual Records

When Princess Luoning was buried, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter.It snowed heavily that day, and the Splendid Palace was buried in white snow. From a distance, it looked like a black coffin sealed in ice.The palace people dressed in black, knelt in the snow and wept bitterly...

Luo Ning still remembered that it was an afternoon, she hadn't seen the emperor for many days.The emperor suffered from a persistent illness and was bedridden all day long.The palace people said that a few days ago, the empress invited a high-ranking man who said he could cure the emperor's illness.

When Luo Ning hurried to the dormitory, the queen was talking to the man in Taoist robe beside her with a haggard expression and a vicissitudes of life. "The emperor was just talking about it. It's been a long time since I saw Luo Ning." The queen smiled kindly, as she always did.Luo Ning nodded, and looked curiously at the Taoist priest beside the queen.

"This is the expert I mentioned." The queen said, "The emperor's illness is all due to him these days."

The Taoist bowed his head, cupped his hands, and said, "The queen is like me, the princess can call me Jiang Ning."

"Can you really cure my brother's illness?" Luo Ning asked.

The Taoist smiled: "The poor Taoist has told the emperor all the prescriptions for curing the disease. As for how to choose, it depends on the emperor's own choice."

Longyan incense is burning in the brown glazed lotus incense burner, which is mixed with the smell of medicine floating around, exuding a strong bitter breath.

Luo Ning knelt under the curtain and called softly: "Brother Huang."

The emperor woke up early, he opened his eyes, and waved to Luo Ning, who knelt forward again.

"Luo Ning is already this old." The emperor sighed softly.

His face was pale, he closed his eyes for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did the queen tell you about the prescription?"

Luo Ning was slightly taken aback: "Prescription?"

"No..." The emperor let out a breath slowly, he closed his eyes again, and was silent for a while, "Jiang Ning told me a prescription, saying that if I can take this medicine, my stubborn illness will be cured." It can be cured." He opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked at Luo Ning with deep eyes, "This medicine is called Xuetai Sui. Only by using the flesh and blood of close relatives as a dish can a plant of blood Taisui used as medicine be bred."

Luo Ning half-kneeled in front of the dragon couch, staring blankly at the emperor's eyes staring at him.

"Luoning, how is the emperor treating you well?"

"I know that I wronged you, but this country cannot be without a king for a day, and the emperor has no choice."

"you are not willing?"

Four or five tall eunuchs walked out from behind the overlapping bright yellow curtains and waited quietly.Luo Ning's body trembled slightly. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath slowly. After a while, she opened her eyes, knelt up straight, and kowtowed heavily in the direction of the dragon couch. Two lines of tears slowly fell from the frame of her eyes, and she looked up at the person on the bed: "Your Majesty, Luo Ning is willing."

With a cup of poisoned wine, large swathes of blood bloomed instantly on the snow-white skirt and jacket.The candlelight shone alone on Luo Ning's body. She wiped away the blood on the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief over and over again, but more and more blood spilled out... She was neither sad nor happy, and had already accepted this arrangement... But under the long torture of dying, Luo Ning realized that she would also resent and hate, how ironic it is to use the dead body of a loved one as a dish...

In the seventh year of Chongguang, Emperor Ji Luoning died in Jinxiu Palace.

Her soul floated around the body, and she sat quietly on the coffin lid with her chin on her back, watching those people cut open her bloody chest with knives.They dug out her heart, Luo Ning subconsciously reached out and touched the position of her heart, it was really empty...

Xue Tai Sui finally failed to save the emperor's life, he died on that winter day.The heavy coffin lid was pressed up, and the last ray of light in front of him disappeared with the closure of the gate of the underground palace.The blood Tai Sui was still growing at Luo Ning's heart, constantly sucking her flesh and blood, gradually her body began to change, the skin peeled off her body, exposing the red tendons and white bones inside.Luo Ning's consciousness gradually became trance.In the dead silent underground, only the weeping Tai Sui plant on the chest is "plopping", "plopping", beating...

I don't know how many years have passed, maybe a hundred years, or maybe a thousand years, the gate of the underground palace was opened again.The heavy coffin lid was lifted, and Luo Ning woke up disturbed by whispers.I only heard a person beside me say: "This is the only surviving blood Taisui that was recorded in my Taizu's handbook."

"This is the blood Taisui." Another person exclaimed, looking obsessively at the blood-red plant beating like a heart in front of him, and was about to reach into the coffin as he spoke.But before he touched the blood Tai Sui, he was hurriedly stopped by the person beside him.

"Wait a minute." The humane said, "Blood Tai Sui has a lot of specialties. Let's find someone to send it out first. You send a letter to Li Yun of the Tiandi Escort Bureau, and say that you are willing to pay 2 taels of gold, and ask him if he dares to accept this." In addition, "the man's voice paused slightly, and then continued, "We still lack a medicinal ingredient to melt the Tai Sui blood."

"What?" another asked.

The man lowered his voice and said, "The flesh and blood of a man with a very hard fate is used as medicine."

"W-Where can I find this?" Another person stumbling and hesitantly replied.

"It's okay, I'm optimistic about one person."

"who is it?"

"The son of the Wang family in the north of the capital."

"The sick man? Will old man Wang agree?" The other person was a little uncertain.

He only heard the man snort coldly, and said: "Who said he only has one son. Could it be that you forgot his eldest son who became a monk in Sanqing Mountain."

"This……"

"You send a message to him and tell him that we have found a medicine that can save the life of his youngest son, but it has to be exchanged for the life of his eldest son, so ask him if he is willing. Besides, Jiang Tieshi has always been against refining living corpses. Are you interested? Remember to send him a message when the time comes."

Luo Ning's fingers moved slightly, and she lay peacefully in the coffin without any disturbance in her heart. "Plop", "plop" the blood Tai Sui was pulsating in her chest, and what was concealed under the blood-red plant was the emptiness and blankness in her left chest.By the way, she has no sorrow or joy...

Her coffin was moved into another jadeite coffin, and after dozens of days of tossing and turning, it was finally parked in an empty house of a large family.Luo Ning's soul was sitting on the coffin lid, and she was swinging her feet leisurely, playing with the wick beside her.The dim candlelight flickered in and out of the house, and the servant who hurried past outside the door cursed in panic: "It's haunted." Luo Ning grinned silently.

After an unknown amount of time, a servant's whispering could be heard outside the door.

"The Eldest Young Master is back?" one person asked, "But the Eldest Young Master went to Sanqing Mountain to practice Taoism, why did he come back so soon?"

Another person shook his head and said: "It is said that the master personally called him back." He sighed slightly and said, "The eldest son has also suffered a lot since he was a child, and he only hopes that the relationship between the two will ease after returning this time."

The door opened with a "squeak", and a handsome young Taoist priest walked in.Luo Ning sat cross-legged on the coffin, she curled her lips with her hand on her chin, Taoist priest?She doesn't like Taoist priests the most.She angrily pinched the candle flame beside her, the flame flickered on and off.

The old man who led him in from outside the door shrank his neck, stretched out half of his body and said, "My lord, this is the place. The master got such a coffin from somewhere, and it was placed here since the beginning of the month. Since then, it's here." The house is always haunted."

The young Taoist nodded: "I see, Uncle Wang."

"The eldest son, it's okay, I'll leave first, there are still many things to be busy in the kitchen." The Taoist nodded, and the old man took a cautious look at the jade coffin in the house again, and left in a hurry.

After the old man left, the young Taoist stepped into the house. He did nothing but sat quietly by Luo Ning's coffin with his eyes closed.Luo Ning looked at the young Taoist priest in front of him.So you are the unlucky ghost they said, Luo Ning thought.For some reason, there was a faint soreness in the hollow of the heart, Luo Ning thought for a while, and finally put away the hand that was playing with the wick.Poor ghost, I won't play tricks on you.

The young Taoist priest slowly opened his eyes, raised his head and wondered what Siduo was talking about.After a while, he sighed and silently looked at the jade coffin beside him.He twitched the corners of his mouth with a wry smile, and whispered the Qingxin mantra in a low voice.

"Why do you have to read this? They asked you to exorcise ghosts." Luo Ning held his chin, and finally couldn't hold back his temper.

The face of the young Taoist was slightly taken aback, but there was no panic at all, he just asked softly: "Don't you want to reincarnate, Miss?"

The candle was burning faintly, and there was only one person and one coffin in the dark room.Luo Ning snorted softly and said, "I've been used to it for a long time, so it doesn't matter. Besides, what's so good about being a human being." Luo Ning looked at the smiling face of the young Taoist priest, and pouted angrily: "You Run, your father wants to kill you so that you can heal your brother."

The young Taoist was taken aback for a moment, smiled wryly and shook his head.Luo Ning snorted, "You don't believe me!"

The young Taoist smiled and said, "I believe in you."

At that moment, the indifference on the Taoist priest's face and the desolation between his brows made Luo Ning think of his previous life.

"Use the flesh and blood of your loved ones as a dish to breed a blood Taisui plant that is used as medicine. Luo Ning, are you willing?" Luo Ning lowered his eyes, staring at the hollow in his left chest.She pursed her lips tightly and suddenly became unhappy.With a frown, she fell back into the coffin, determined not to pay any attention to that annoying Taoist priest.

Xu was lonely for too long, and on the second day, Luo Ning finally couldn't help talking to the young Taoist priest beside him.

"Hi, what's your name?"

The young Taoist lowered his eyes and replied: "The poor Taoist name is Qingshan."

Luo Ning was happy that someone finally talked to her in the past hundred years. She babbled about the cakes she ate in the palace, and occasionally pestered the Taoist priest to tell him stories about the dynasty.After Qing Shanfang finished telling a story of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", he still saw it in the storybook handed over from his young apprentice Xu Kong.

"Why did Liang Shanbo fall in love with Zhu Yingtai who is pretending to be a man?" Luo Ning asked, cupping her face, and after a while she answered as if asking herself, "It must be that Liang Shanbo loves Zhu Yingtai, no matter what Is she male or female?"

Qing Shan shook his head with a smile, he didn't understand why Luo Ning had so many emotions when it was just a story.

Luo Ning finally sighed slightly, and said: "I think I'm at a loss. Those who died were unmarried, and they didn't even have anyone they liked." Luo Ning turned around, if Qing Shan could see her at this time, she would be sure. You will find that her eyes are shining, "Qingshan, marry me!"

"Nonsense!" Qing Shan smiled, he didn't take his words to heart, and only made Luo Ning's joke for a while.

Time flies, and six days have passed in the blink of an eye.That day, Qingshan's story was just halfway through, when Luo Ning frowned and suddenly interrupted his words, Luo Ning said to Qingshan: "Qingshan, you run, go back to your Sanqing Mountain."

Qing Shan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly as he did that day and shook his head slightly.

"Are you a fool!" The candle shadow flickered, Luo Ning's voice suppressed his anger, "Your father wants to take your life to save your younger brother, his life is his life, isn't it yours!" The last sentence Luo Ning roared at the top of his lungs.

"Do you still want to hear the next story?" Qing Shan lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Qingshan." Luo Ning called out Qingshan's name with a sob in his voice, "I beg you, get out of here quickly."

"When I was born, my mother was killed by fate, and my younger brother has been suffering from illnesses. If there is a medicine in the world that can cure him, I will be very happy even if I die." Qingshan's hand fell The emerald coffin was hot, Luo Ning glanced at him slowly, but saw him lower his head slowly. "Luoning, do you want to enter reincarnation?" He asked.

Luo Ning felt a sense of loss. She closed her eyes and felt the stabbing pain in the gap in her chest, so she turned her face away: "You have been persuading me to enter reincarnation all day long, but what good is reincarnation? What do you think? Let me be a man again. But I was once a noble concubine, worshiped by hundreds of officials, and above ten thousand people. But now you look at me, turning into dust after death has become a luxury wish. It's better to be a ghost. , if I can really have a day when the smoke disappears, I will be happy and at ease."

Both of them fell into silence. After a while, Luo Ning opened his eyes and said in a suppressed voice, "Go, I don't want to see you die in front of my eyes." After speaking, she closed her eyes again.

There was a soft sigh in the air, and the door creaked shut.Luo Ning clutched her chest, and slowly fell back into the jade coffin, "This idiot, this idiot..." She smiled sadly, but not a single tear fell from her dry eyes, she forgot, It turned out that her heart was long gone...

Qing Shan stared at the cup in his hand and was silent for a while.

"Why doesn't Daoist Qingshan drink tea? You monks can't drink alcohol, could it be that you can't even drink tea?" Old man Gu persuaded from the side, but looked at Jiang Ning with guilty eyes.

Qingshan put down the cup in his hand, and the black grape-like eyes reflected the seven people present. Amid the tense expressions of everyone, he slowly got up, lightly put down his Taoist robe, and kowtowed heavily towards the position of the prince in the corner .He took the cup on the table and drank it with his head tilted up...

The blood stunned his Taoist robe, and Luo Ning recalled the glass of poisoned wine he drank bitterly a hundred years ago.She lay quietly in the emerald jade coffin, staring at the pale man beside her, would he experience the heart-piercing pain she had back then?

They dismembered him in front of her, the woman peeled off his skin, the thin man removed his bones... His head was finally cut off by a sharp knife and thrown aside.His eyes were closed tightly, but his calm and handsome face was still as beautiful as ever...

Two drops of blood and tears slowly fell from Luo Ning's eyes, and the blood Tai Sui on her chest was beating crazily "plop", "plop", and her soul was submerged in the blood Tai Sui... That night, she slowly emerged from the emerald jade coffin. Sitting up, the blood-red female corpse lightly picked up the head of the Taoist priest on the ground, her eyes were only confused at first, and when the confusion faded away, only deep hatred remained at the bottom of her eyes...

The blood-red female corpse held her head and walked out of the house: "Since it's your wish..."

After that day, the blood Tai Sui disappeared.But after that day, the stubborn illness of the youngest son of the Wang family was miraculously cured, and everyone was amazed and inconceivable...

"Since it is your wish, then I will let them live in this world for ten years."
