When Luo Yunyan heard that several officials in the court and the monks of Tianyuan Temple were going to Labagou together to seek a way to break the deadly evil spirits, she became interested again and wanted to go and take a look.
So I made two circles and gave them to Zhang Baiyi. Zhang Baiyi stood on them barefoot at night. I cut out two pairs of insoles and put them on and they felt okay.
The next day he went to the palace, asked for an imperial edict, and then stuffed himself and Luo Yunyan into the team going to Labagou.
When Guiguzi Doctor found out, he packed his bags and prepared to follow. However, he couldn't bear to leave his apprentice Luo Yi and his patient Yang Yingxue behind, so he stayed.
One of these two people is in a difficult situation and the other is in a difficult mood.
Among the officials who accompanied the masters of Tianyuan Temple to Labagou were Xu Lin, a university scholar of the Hanlin Academy, and Sulaiman, a minority translator who was proficient in four languages: Chinese, Tibetan, Manchu and Mongolian.
Along the way, the four people inexplicably became dining partners.
Luo Yunyan asked, "With so many of us in Labagou, will we be ambushed?"
Zhang Baiyi said, "No, ever since your majesty issued three imperial edicts severely punishing the invaders, the Northern Huns have rarely been able to set up ambushes. They can't even muster a decent force now."
Today, Labagou is covered with lush grass, and nameless small flowers are blooming all over the mountains. When the wind blows, the flowers sway together, and the valley is quiet and gentle.
The blaring of drums and horns, the bloody slaughter, the screams and wails of eight thousand people were gone. But for He Qing, who had rushed from the border camp, the tragic scene seemed like yesterday, the broken bodies and the blood soaking into the earth, still vivid in his mind.
The monks of Tianyuan Temple first prayed for the souls of the deceased in Labagou, and the ceremony lasted for three days.
Luo Yunyan watched patiently for three days. On the last day, she leaned against a big pole at the corner of the venue with her chin supported, feeling drowsy.
When Zhang Baiyi saw this, he was afraid that she would fall, so he quietly moved behind her and stood there. He then took off his outer robe and put it on her.
His outer robe was so wide that it could wrap around her twice, blocking the wind from the valley.
Luo Yunyan fell asleep in a daze, leaning against the pole with Zhang Baiyi.
A young monk who was just performing a ritual was walking in circles and chanting scriptures while looking at Luo Yunyan who was sleeping against the soul-calling flag pole. He felt strange: so many souls who died tragically would use the soul-calling flag pole, so how could that female donor still sleep so soundly?
Luo Yunyan was walking in a valley and saw a little boy about five years old running towards her from afar.
"Sister," he said as he ran, "Great, someone is finally here."
Luo Yunyan looked at him: "Why are you here alone? Where are your family?" Zha Gang seemed to be about the same age as him.
The little boy said, “Every year on this day, my sister would put out a lot of food that I like to eat, as well as food that my brother likes.
But this year, my way home was suddenly cut off, and I can’t get out of here no matter how hard I try.”
Luo Yunyan was stunned. "So this is a ghost?" What did he mean? It sounded like it was trapped in a barrier.
Suddenly, shouts of killing shook the sky. The little boy said again, "Those older brothers who kept getting killed are here too. They can't get out either."
Luo Yunyan was thinking, if it's a barrier, I'll try to see if I can break it. Runes began to gather in her sea of consciousness, and the runes kept changing until they became, "Rise!"
The little boy is missing.
Is this solved or not?
Luo Yunyan heard the endless shouting and killing ahead and was about to go forward to take a look when she heard a voice say, "Madam, please wake up."
Luo Yunyan opened her eyes and saw a little monk standing in front of her, with two poles leaning against him... a pole and Zhang Baiyi. She was a little confused.
Then she understood, stood up and made way, Xiaosha, you took away the soul-calling flag on the pole behind her.
In the evening, the four of them had dinner together. Luo Yunyan was feeling uneasy, so Zhang Baiyi asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Yunyan asked, "Is it possible that someone has set up a barrier around these eight thousand ghosts, trapping them inside, and that these rituals for salvation are completely incapable of reaching the ghosts within the barrier, so they are useless?
For example, the spirit-calling banner didn't attract any spirits at all. We need to release them from the barrier first."
Zhang Baiyi asked, "Why do you think so?"
Luo Yunyan told the story of how she fell asleep leaning against a flagpole today and dreamed of a little boy who showed a piece of rock candy in his mouth when he spoke... She then recounted the dream she had just had.
Grand Secretary Xu Lin asked, "Have you broken the barrier around him? Or will he return to his original position in a moment?"
Luo Yunyan was a little unsure when she heard this and shook her head, "I don't know either. It's quite different from the barrier for living people."
Suleiman asked, "So I need to enter a dream to break the barrier?"
Xu Lin said: "So you're not sure if it's a barrier?"
No matter what, after listening to it, Zhang Baiyi still went to find the abbot of Tianyuan Temple.
The Ghost Valley Strange Doctor who stayed in Kyoto said to Luo Yi: "You know one of my rules is to treat relatives only. You are my apprentice, and according to this rule, I will not charge for consultation.
I had intended to return the consultation fee to you and your son a long time ago, but I was trapped in the barrier. I deliberately didn't return it to you right away when we met again, but now I can return it to you."
This is not a small amount.
But Luo Yi said: "If Master doesn't want it, then neither does I."
Guigu Strange Doctor said: "You can't break the master's rules."
The money was still returned.
After discussing with his mother, Luo Yi left some money for living expenses and bought a small house.
He sent the rest to the Ministry of War, hoping that the Ministry of War would use the money to pay another pension to Shen Yun and the eight thousand soldiers.
After things were settled, Luo Yi said to his master and mother, "Although His Majesty requires three times the amount of merit, it is still a good experience. Master, mother, don't worry."
Guigu Strange Doctor said: "Your Majesty is right. If you want to be a civil official or a martial artist, you need to work three times as hard. But if I practice medicine, become an imperial physician, and become a famous doctor, I don't need three times as much."
Guigu: This kid is going to be a scholar and a martial artist again, and the disciples I have worked so hard to train are gone. Can I be at ease? I am not at ease.
After Yang Yingxue recovered completely, she said goodbye to Guiguzi Doctor, Wang Lingyi and Jiangnan.
She first visited Jiang Lu's grave, then planned to go to the border to pay respects to her parents and relatives. She wasn't sure where to go next, perhaps settling down in a small town and living a simple life until the end of her life.
Jiangnan didn't say anything. His plan was to live next to her and watch her live out her life in peace.
