Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 398 What is the relationship between the Concubine Ling and the Hou Mansion

It goes without saying why Emperor Xiao announced Chuzhi to enter the palace.

Zhongyong Houqi's face was livid, he didn't expect Emperor Xiao to be such a shameless person, he was despicable to the extreme.

"In the future, you should seldom enter the palace." Zhongyonghou took a deep breath, "Leave this matter to the father to figure out a solution."

Chu Zhi pursed his lips: "The imperial concubine once told me that whatever Your Majesty wants, you will never be unable to get it. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not give up."

Zhongyonghou understood Chu Zhi's meaning: "For the current plan, we can only find a way to push His Royal Highness to that position as soon as possible."

"By the way," Chu Zhi asked again, remembering another thing, "Father, why did the concubine Ling call your brother-in-law? Does she have a relationship with our family?"

Speaking of the concubine Zhongyonghou, a cold look flashed across his eyes, "She and your mother are sisters, both born in the royal family of Chu, but your mother was born to the queen of the Zhenggong Palace. Criticize that fate is rich and honorable, which is beneficial to the country. Later, when the two countries fought, His Majesty accidentally saw the true face of the concubine Ling, and was overwhelmed by it. He asked to marry her as a concubine and was willing to cease the war. At that time, your mother and I were already in love , Your mother went to the Queen of Chu State and said that she was willing to make a marriage, so I married your mother, Your Majesty married the Lingfei Empress, but the Lingfei has a deep palace, which is completely opposite to your mother's personality. When your mother was alive, The two of her sisters are not very close. Your mother doesn't like her calculating too much. There are very few people who can be disliked by your mother. I believe in your mother, so I don't have much contact with her. Although she calls me Brother-in-law, but I can't afford this brother-in-law, and you will have less contact with her in the future, just treat her as an insignificant person."

Chu Zhi instantly understood what Zhongyonghou meant, and this concubine might not be a good one.

"Since there is something like this, I want to tell my father," Chu Zhi said, "I met Lingfei for the first time in the palace, and she said that she was very close to me and gave me this waist card."

As he said that, he took out the waist card and showed it to Hou Zhongyong.

Zhongyonghou took it, his face changed slightly: "This is the belt badge of her master's family. If you see this belt badge, everyone in the door will obey her orders."

Chu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly: "How could she give me this important thing?"

"When she gave it to you, were you married?"

"No, but she should know that Ah Zhan likes me."

Zhongyong Hou pondered for a moment, and said: "I will keep this badge for you first, and I will return it face to face when I see her in the future. You should avoid contamination of her things, especially her teacher's."

"But her sect...what's wrong?" Chu Zhi asked tentatively.

Zhongyong Hou sneered: "When your mother was born, she was selected as the next saint. She was not angry when she saw it, so she entered the school of witchcraft. Immortal arts and witchcraft coexist in Chu State. I don't know she used it. What method, to become the goddess of the witch clan, and then the high priest suddenly calculated a more suitable saint woman candidate, just as your mother also wanted to retreat, so she felt at ease as her own princess, traveling around with nothing to do, your mother was replaced After her death, she will no longer be a goddess, but the witch clan has long obeyed her orders, so what's the difference between retreating or not?"

"Goddess?" Chu Zhi was puzzled, "If you are a witch, how can you be called a goddess?"

"It is said that thousands of years ago, the immortal sect of Chu State and the Wu Clan came out with two immortals who ascended to gods. Because the Wu Clan was not very happy just from the name, they pushed the 'goddess' out, intending to surpass Above the saintess of the fairy gate, it has continued to this day."

Hearing this incident, Chu Zhi sighed endlessly.

If it hadn't been mentioned this time, Chu Zhi, who had lived for two lifetimes, would never have known that there were immortal sects and witch clans in Chu State. Thanks to the fact that the words came from the mouth of Zhongyong Hou, Chu Zhi had no choice but to believe them.

"Then... since there are countless Hexian sects, can the people of Chu still know how to cast spells?"

Just like what is said in the scriptures, flying with a sword, fetching things from a distance, etc., the late mother-in-law was from the Chu country and was once chosen as a saint. Does it mean that she can also use spells?
It turned out that there used to be a big boss hidden beside her!
Seeing Chu Zhi's eyes shine, Zhongyong Hou laughed: "You girl, why are you still like a child, cultivating immortals, ordinary people can cultivate immortals, if you really know how to cultivate immortals, why do you cultivate immortals? What you do is nothing more than a fairy school It is to teach some inner strength and mind skills, the technique of bigu, and make people cut off the world of mortals. If you ask me, it is no different from the monks in the temple. As far as I know, Ling Ji has raised Gu before."

"Ling Ji? But Ling Concubine?"

"Exactly."

In the previous life, Wu Gu Chu Zhi had heard from a ghost doctor that Zhao Guo's Gu poison was unique.

"I heard that Gu worms are mostly produced in Zhao State, how can there be Gu in Chu State?" Chu Zhi asked.

Zhongyonghou explained: "Thousands of years ago, there were two immortals who ascended to gods in Chu State. Since then, people from all over the world have gone to Chu State to seek the skills of cultivating immortals. The people who kept the Gu worms stayed in the Wu Clan until today."

Chu Zhi nodded: "I see."

After a pause, he continued: "Father, did Chu Kingdom really have immortals who achieved Taoism and became gods thousands of years ago?"

Zhongyonghou smiled and shook his head: "Who knows! Anyway, it's just rumors, everyone says so."

"Do you believe that father?"

"I only believe that immortal Buddhas are at ease in people's hearts. If people's hearts are good, they are gods and Buddhas even if they are not cultivated."

Chu Zhi couldn't help admiringly said: "Father's opinion!"

"Okay, it's getting late, I think you didn't rest well last night, go back to your own yard to rest first!" Zhong Yonghou said, "You don't have to worry about His Majesty's affairs, I'll come up with a solution."

Chu Zhi nodded: "Thank you father, I'm not in a hurry, why don't I accompany you to eat and go home."

Chu Zhi used a few cakes in the morning, and Zhongyong Hou rushed to the palace before dawn, and he has not eaten any rice yet, so he is naturally hungry.

Then he nodded and agreed: "Alright."

After Chu Zhi finished his meal, he returned to the courtyard, Dong'er and Xia'er took care of him after washing, and then he lay down on the couch.

She has been thinking about what Zhongyonghou said, do immortals who ascended to gods thousands of years ago really exist?
Seeing Chu Zhi's face contemplating, Dong'er asked, "Master, what are you thinking?"

"Tell me, are there really gods in this world?"

Dong'er widened her eyes, as if looking at a stranger.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zhi didn't wait for Dong'er to speak for a long time, and when he looked up, she was stunned, "What's your expression?"

"No, no, no." Dong'er hurriedly said, "This servant just can't believe that these words came from the master's mouth."

After all, the master is an extremely smart, stable, and assertive person, how could such a person believe in ghosts and gods!

Seeing that Chu Zhi was about to get angry, Dong'er quickly said: "Of course there are! If not, how come there are ghosts in this world? How come there are demons? It's all said in the scriptures that Ning Caichen met the little girl at Lanruo Temple. Qian, this is the end of the relationship between humans and ghosts, and there is also a zombie priest, isn't it?"

Chu Zhi "..."
