Capture the Jade:

Juesheng and Qizhi distributed a round of Qingxin Pills, and asked Chang Rong to order the chef to make a large amount of talisman soup. When the people in the room almost recovered their sanity, they ran to Teng Yuyi and said, "Miss Teng, are you okay? "

Du Tinglan hurriedly said: "My sister can't speak now."

Juesheng and Qizhi were taken aback for a moment: "How can you be speechless?"

Teng Yuyi used the hilt of his sword to make two gestures in Du Tinglan's palm, Du Tinglan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty poisoned my younger sister, do you know if the two Taoists have the antidote?

Juesheng and Qizhi were taken aback, why did the senior brother poison Miss Teng? Hey, but having said that, the senior brother and Mrs. Teng have never stopped since they met. Either the senior brother cast a spell on Mrs. Teng's magic weapon, or the hidden weapon of Mrs. Teng shot the senior brother, and either Mrs. Teng made the senior brother dumb, or the senior brother made the senior lady dumb. .

"We don't have an antidote." Qi Zhi was in a hurry, "Brother is busy dealing with the corpse evil now, so I probably don't have time to pay attention to other things. Let me ask my brother and find a chance to get the antidote."

Teng Yuyi nodded gratefully, and didn't expect to get an antidote, but it was always right to try, so Du Tinglan asked them again: "Where did the little Daoist go tonight?"

"Don't mention it." Juesheng said sadly, "We fell into the trick of Mr. Jin Yi to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Didn't senior brother arrange a large number of monks and Taoists to patrol inside and outside Chang'an City recently? In the afternoon, those seniors from the suburbs suddenly went to the city to ask for help. It is said that a dozen mummified corpses were found in a Zhuangzi outside the city, and all of them were residents nearby, all of whom died after the blood vessels in their necks were bitten. It was done by the young man in golden clothes.

"In order to save people, senior brother rushed out of the city with the five ways of Dongming Temple, and finally followed the trail of the murderous corpse to save the person, and sealed the murderous corpse in time. It turned out that it was just an ordinary The corpse evil is not the corpse evil. He knew it was not good, so he hurried back from the south of the city temporarily, but after all, he was separated by more than half the city, and he almost didn't rush back. Hey, it's the first time for the senior brother to be tricked by a monster, so he probably has a stomachache now Fire."

Qizhi added: "That's all, Mrs. Teng, Mrs. Du, you may not know that before senior brother left, he deliberately set up a nine-day demon formation inside and outside Chengwang's mansion. For a while, no matter what kind of demon it is, it has to walk away in fear. Brother has been setting up the formation since the first two days, and spent a lot of effort. I thought you would be absolutely safe in the mansion, but I didn't expect the corpse to break in."

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan exchanged glances, no wonder Lin Chengyou's face was so ugly.

"Fortunately, there is this formation guarding the corpse, and the corpse can't find other helpers. Otherwise, if it attracts the golden man or the low-level corpse, the mansion will be full of blood and flesh."

At this time, the commander came back after arranging matters, and heard the words: "No wonder the corpse is alone all night. Even if you want to find help temporarily, you can only use the method of turning people into puppets. Meng Situ and Li Buque Mrs. Gu Xian, Liu Mao, and Liu Quan have all been deluded. Oh yes, and Mr. Lu Zhaoan. I don’t know if the prince has found anyone now. Please trouble the two little road leaders here to take care of them. I have to hurry up. Go and send people to help."

Qizhi and Juesheng hurriedly took out the talisman from their arms and said: "Commander Chang, be careful. This is the talisman drawn by Master before traveling. It is stronger than ours. Wearing it on your body can block evil spirits."

Chang Rong put the talisman in his arms and went to find Lin Chengyou on his own.

While observing the recovery of everyone, Juesheng said to Teng Yuyi: "Brother said that it was the ancestor of Dongming Temple who suppressed the two monsters back then. If you want to catch the corpse evil, Dongming Temple's assistance is indispensable, so brother put Wu Mei The Celestial Immortal Daoist also brought it, just because the chaos just now caused the corpse to run away."

Juesheng got it right, but within half a cup of tea, Chang Rong left and returned, saying that the corpse had already run away when the prince returned home, and the prince chased him along the road for a while without any clues. Fortunately, all the lost people were found. Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Li were thrown into the camellia bushes in the garden, while Gu Xian and others were thrown into the lake. When he was in the middle, his sanity recovered a bit, and after falling into the water, he became more sober after being stimulated by the cold water. Holding his breath, he barely swam back to the shore.

Just in time for the monks in Qingyun Temple to look for people, Gu Xian guided them to fish Lu Zhaoan and others. He was the most seriously injured, and his two arms were removed on the spot.

In addition to detoxifying them, Lin Chengyou also hired another medical worker to see them. Now the wounded have been placed in the wing room, waiting for the monks to feed them talisman soup.

During the conversation, the servants brought the requiem soup. With the encouragement of Juesheng and Qizhi, everyone cautiously left the ear room, and saw that the flower hall was in a state of chaos, as if it had been swept away by a violent storm, and the gate was broken. Most of the rear window was also broken, and the low couch, table, and rope bed were smashed to pieces.

Qizhi said that the corpse evil can make a sick and weak man infinitely powerful by manipulating puppets, and besides, the ones manipulated just now were three young and strong men.

As soon as everyone drank the requiem soup, Lin Chengyou came in with Ah Zhi on his back, followed by several white and fat old Taoist priests, namely Jiantian, Jianxian, Jianmei, Jianle, and Jianxi . The group of people were fairly neatly dressed, but their complexions were extremely ugly.

Wu Dao said as he walked: "I'm so tired and old, I don't know how the patriarch caught it back then. This thing is really difficult to deal with."

The other person pouted, his face full of displeasure: "I'm sweating all over, and the poor Taoist robes are all wet with sweat, son, where is the clean room in the house?"

Another person held his stomach: "Pindao's stomach is empty now, I wonder if the mansion has prepared Hubing or Hutou, bothering the prince, it's good to have a bowl to fill his stomach."

"Hey, my son cherishes the old and the poor the most. After catching this half-night monster, how can the son be willing to send me away with bean cakes? Don't be impatient, wait for the chef to make vegetarian dishes."

As soon as these five Taoists came in, they talked a lot, and they almost regarded Chengwang Mansion as their own Taoist temple. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, but Teng Yuyi was not surprised. She had experienced the demeanor of the "Five Beauties of Immortals" when she went back to Dongming to watch the evil spirit ring. Taoist priests are clearly like the rogues in the market, but she didn't expect these people to be so reckless outside.

"My lord, supper doesn't have to be too complicated, just four dishes and two soups." Wu Dao hummed and walked to the front, and sat down on the table one after another.

Lin Chengyou ordered his servants: "Did you hear that? The five masters are tired from catching monsters, and they are about to take a good tonic. Let's have a seventeen-eight-course vegetarian meal first. Don't starve the master."

The servants bowed and left.

Although the people in the flower hall were still in shock, they couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh when they heard this. A plaque was hung in the waterside pavilion where the poetry meeting was held in the afternoon, and it read: "The sage eats according to his stomach, and the wise man refrains from luxury" (Note 1) .

The font is correct and clear, but judging from its strength, it is still a little tender. I don't know if it was written by the prince and the second son when they were young, or by the current Princess Azhi. In short, no matter who wrote it, it can be seen that it is mature. The palace does not advocate luxury in terms of diet. Lin Chengyou ordered the chef to make so many suppers for Wumei Taoist priests, clearly mocking Wudao's "unholy and unvirtuous".

Wu Dao couldn't tell this, only when Lin Chengyou deliberately promoted himself, his face became more and more happy, but he didn't wait for them to be proud, and heard Lin Chengyou say: "From now on, the Taoists will live in the mansion. , If you don’t catch the corpse, you can’t neglect the Taoist priest. You go to Dongming Temple and get the clothes and towels of the five Taoist priests.”

The smiles on the faces of the Taoist priests stagnated.

"My lord, there's no need for that." Could it be that they couldn't leave Cheng Wang's mansion because the corpses couldn't be caught?

Lin Chengyou let out a sigh: "I think it is very necessary. The sages and dragons can't see the end. A few days ago, every time I wanted to discuss the formation to catch the monsters, I couldn't find you. Why don't you concentrate on it?" One place, so you don’t have to go back and forth to delay.”

The five people were dumbfounded. In the entire Chang'an city, they were most jealous of Qing Xuzi. Even if they grew up watching this kid, they had a deep experience of this kid's ability to toss people. If they were really locked up in Chengwang's mansion, they might be picked up by Lin Chengyou to catch monsters in the middle of the night. I'm going to confess to Chengwang's mansion.

"No need!" Seeing that the Taoist priest stood up first, he said with a smile, "I have been bothering you all night, and the matter is over, and we should leave. If the prince wants to discuss the matter of catching monsters tomorrow, call someone Just send a letter to Dongmingguan. The prince does not need to send you, I will take a step first."

The five of them were about to slip away, but soon someone came up happily and said, "Don't wait, the Taoist priest, the vegetarian dishes have already started to be made, and the bath soup is also ready. When the prince and the Taoist priest finish discussing to catch the demons." The Taoist priest can take a bath and eat."

Lin Chengyou watched Wudao being carried back to its original place, and then said to the old servants around him: "There are a bunch of files I got from Shangshu Province and Dali Temple in the study, you move them here, this Waiting to use it in a hurry."

The old servant hurried down to make arrangements.

Lin Chengyou was about to put Azhi behind him down, and Azhi's expression changed: "Brother, I'm afraid!"

Lin Chengyou touched Azhi's forehead, felt her pulse, and confirmed that her sister was doing well in all aspects, then turned to Azhi and said, "Don't be afraid, the monster was beaten away by my brother, and the house is safe now." Very, you are already nine years old, and you are not a child, come down, brother still has important things to discuss."

A Zhi curled her lips in grievance: "Then brother can't leave me."

"Brother is by your side."

A Zhi dawdled for a while before coming down, her little hand was still holding Lin Chengyou's hand, and she refused to let go.

Lin Chengyou had no choice but to take his sister to apologize to the people in the room: "You are invited to the poetry meeting today, how did you know that something like this happened, and you were shocked. I feel extremely ashamed, and I just gave you a drink Fu Tang, if you still feel unwell, I will ask Yu Fengyu to take your pulse."

Everyone had heard the explanation from Juesheng and Qizhi before. There were large formations inside and outside Chengwang's mansion, and it was said that it was the safest place in the city. Lin Chengyou himself never expected such a thing to happen. Thinking that even Princess Jingde was scared to death tonight, Lin Chengyou's mood at the moment would never be better than theirs. Even if someone had muddled thoughts, they all gave up in an instant, and quickly returned the courtesy: "That evil spirit said tonight Come on, Cheng Wang's mansion is said to be the most damaged, why should the son be ashamed, it is nothing more than an innocent disaster."

At this time, those old servants were holding a lot of trays, and they said to Lin Chengyou as soon as they came in: "My son, I took it back."

Teng Yuyi put down the soup bowl in her hand, looked up and saw several rolls of bamboo slips stacked on the plate, which looked old.

Lin Chengyou asked the old servants to put down the trays, and said to the crowd: "The corpse broke into the palace of Cheng Wang. I don't mean to wait. I will send the Taoist priests from Dongming Temple and Qingyun Temple to see you off later to ensure that you can return home safely. If you still feel scared, you can rest in Chengwang Mansion for one night, and it will not be too late to return to the mansion after dawn."

Today, most of the people participating in the poetry club are young men and women. The oldest are seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest are Azhi and Wang Shiyi's little lady, who is less than ten years old. I left, and I was afraid to move because I was afraid of the evil corpse. I heard that Lin Chengyou had arranged so well, and they all got up immediately. Except for a few ladies from civil servants who planned to leave at dawn, the rest all followed the Taoists out of the mansion. .

A Zhi asked the maid to lead the young ladies to the guest room to settle in. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the flower hall.

Seeing that the person was almost gone, Lin Chengyou bent down to pick up a roll of bamboo slips from the tray and said, "This corpse looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. If we want to deal with her, we must first find out who she was before she was alive." ——"

Juesheng flirted with Qizhi, and suddenly said: "The princess just said that when the monster came tonight, it was Madam Teng's magic weapon that resisted it for a while, brother, why don't you let Madam Teng talk about the evil corpse?" What's the situation?"

The Taoist priests of Dongming Temple have long been envious of Teng Yuyi's emerald sword. Hearing this, he became energetic: "Oh? Just rely on this sword? Madam Teng, please tell me about the situation at that time."

Teng Yuyi pointed to his throat, and sighed leisurely, expressing that he really wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

Qizhi took advantage of the situation and said, "Brother, it's important to catch monsters. As long as Mrs. Teng can speak, maybe the mystery can be solved."

A Zhi shook Lin Chengyou's arm: "Brother, quickly find a way to detoxify Madam Teng."

Teng Yuyi saw that Lin Chengyou's complexion was not good, and the bad breath in his chest was somewhat relieved. Lin Chengyou was shooting himself in the foot. The Nine Heavens Falling Demon Formation protects each other, so that the corpses cannot kill, but after all, they were terribly frightened in the ear room, so it's okay if he doesn't know it, and it must be a bad feeling if he knows it.

When Lin Chengyou is not happy, she is happy.

Seeing that he has been silent for a long time, she is not in a hurry. She is the only one who has faced the monster head-on tonight. He must want to get some clues from her. One pass, so he has to get rid of the poison even if he doesn't understand it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou stared at her for a while, coughed as if nothing had happened, and said, "I have other plans about Mrs. Teng, first let me tell you about the origin of the corpse."

Juesheng and Qizhi were taken aback, Teng Yuyi's forehead twitched, and she almost stood up from the table. Du Tinglan grabbed Teng Yuyi, leaned over to her ear and said, "Don't worry, you can't talk now, and you can't fight anymore." If you can't beat him, he won't refuse to detoxify you, so let's have a look first."

Teng Yuyi thought about it for a while, and it made sense. If Lin Chengyou didn't want to detoxify her, he would have sent her and her cousin away by force, so he adjusted his breath and showed a calm smile again.

Wu Dao kept urging: "My lord, what is the origin of the corpse?"

Lin Chengyou opened a roll of bamboo slips and said solemnly: "To deal with the corpse evil, you must first understand what happened to the corpse evil. If it weren't for a passage written by Taoist priest Dongyangzi a hundred years ago on the strange ideals in their temple, I also can't find out who the corpse is. It's a pity that Dongming Guanyizhi from a hundred years ago has been preserved until now, and only a few fragments are left. Guess wrong, it should be her, this girl has been dead for a hundred years, and she was just sixteen years old when she died."

Teng Yuyi has always wondered why the corpse evil would stare at her, and was immediately aroused by these words. Juesheng and Qizhi also put aside the matter of detoxification, and listened carefully.

Azhi couldn't wait for the servants to serve her, so she moved the lamp closer to her personally: "Brother, what is the origin of this woman?"

The bamboo slips have been damaged, but fortunately the handwriting inside is still intact, probably because of a special seal.

Lin Chengyou clicked somewhere on the bamboo slips: "Dongyangzi wrote in Yizhi that in order to track down the traces of the corpse evil, he chased him all the way to Fanchuan in the southern suburb of Chang'an. There was a deserted village near there, and there was a tomb inside , there was only one empty coffin left in the tomb, and it was full of evil spirits in a radius of ten miles. Judging from the tombstone in front of the tomb, the owner of the tomb died in the year of Gengxu. He was only sixteen years old when he died, and turned into a corpse ten years after his death.

"The year of Gengxu was the time when the former dynasty fell, that is to say, the year when the woman died happened to be in chaos. At that time, the emperor of the former dynasty fled to Guangling and was captured there. Soon after, the country was destroyed.

"Dongyangzi was born blind, so he knew the year of birth and death of the corpse, and immediately took two apprentices to search the inside of the tomb, but found nothing. The tombstone only recorded the year of birth and death of the woman. There is no record of her last name, her parents' family name, why she died... There is no record. Dongyangzi doesn't know the details of the corpse, so he can't find her weakness, so even if he has advanced Taoism , Unfortunately, he was killed when he fought against the corpse evil and the golden man.

The five paths of Dongming Temple burst into tears in unison: "My poor patriarch."

How can Lin Chengyou allow them to make noise: "Thanks to the records of senior Dongyangzi, I have confirmed the year of birth and death of the corpse and the location of the tomb. As long as I have these two points, things will be much easier. Yesterday I went to Shangshu Province to check the historical materials of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, because of the great chaos, many historical materials of the previous dynasty were burned. I couldn’t find out the reason based on the woman’s birth and death years. I had to start with the abandoned village in Fanchuan where the woman was buried. After checking the public opinion of the former dynasty a hundred years ago, I found out that this so-called abandoned village happened to be located in a palace of the abandoned emperor from the previous dynasty.

"Because of a war, the palace was burned to the ground. After all, the Taoist priest Dongyangzi couldn't see. He noticed that the palace was deserted and overgrown, and mistaken it for a deserted village."

Teng Yuyi nodded secretly, how could ordinary people have the opportunity to look up these historical materials of the previous dynasty, no wonder the Taoist priest of Dongyangzi couldn't find out the life of Shixie until his death.

Everyone was shocked: "Buried in the abandoned emperor's palace, is this woman a court lady or a royal family?"

"The royal family or concubines, otherwise they would not dig tombs in the palace, but for some reason they concealed their identities. After death, only an unnamed monument was erected."

Jian Xiandao said: "Could it be the concubine Ji who was forced by the abolished emperor? It's not surprising that she was regarded as a concubine during her lifetime, and she has no name after her death."

This remark was quite indecent, Du Tinglan blushed.

Lin Chengyou glanced at A Zhi, A Zhi rested his chubby cheeks in his hands, and listened with gusto, he frowned: "It's too late, you have to go back to the palace tomorrow morning, go back to sleep first."

Of course Ah Zhi refused to obey: "I will not rest, I also want to know the origin of the corpse evil."

"Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid anymore, I just want to hear my brother tell stories."

Lin Chengyou slipped Azhiti up and walked out with her on his back: "Brother will tell you a story tomorrow, it's too late today."

Azhi twisted on Lin Chengyou's back: "I don't! I want to listen for a while."

However, she couldn't beat Lin Chengyou, and she was forcibly sent away soon.

The rest of the people in the flower hall glanced at each other, and seeing Mei stroking her beard, she took the initiative to speak: "Even if it is the emperor's confinement, it should have a surname, either Xu, or Zhang, no As for not leaving a word."

Teng Yuyi said, it is indeed too unusual, the emperor regards all the people as his sons, even if the woman's background is not well known, as long as the emperor wants to make a high-sounding identity for her, it will not be difficult.

Lin Chengyou returned to the flower hall and unrolled a bamboo weaving again: "After I found out that the woman might be a member of the royal family, I checked all the records about the corpse evil. Master once said that the corpse evil comes in troubled times It takes more than a hundred years to get a corpse. To become a corpse evil, one of the three is indispensable. Abandon your wisdom and come."

Qizhi was suddenly caught by his senior brother to test his homework, and straightened his spine quickly: "People who are corpses often have extremely sinister fates. They are either physically strong or riddled with diseases. This is one of them."

Everyone muttered in their hearts, the deposed emperor ruled the world, I don't know how many beauties he has seen, he would not bother to support a sick young man who is destined to not live long, it is estimated that this corpse is extremely strong.

"Secondly, the so-called 'corpse evil' cannot do without the word 'evil'. Those who can become corpse evil are often vicious in life, and those who have good intentions or are not vicious enough will not be able to deal with it after death. Born from the evil spirit of heaven and earth."

Teng Yuyi nodded secretly. That's not bad. Tonight's corpse evil's method of driving everyone to a desperate situation step by step is really chilling. I think it was rotten in life, and even more vicious after death.

Qizhi went on to say: "Thirdly, corpses cannot be obtained without dying in vain. Only those who die in vain can reach their peak when they die. In addition to catching up with the troubled times, the red star can be seen in the east, and the white comet can dry up at the moon gate. Yin and Yang are eclipsed, and the Qi of heaven and earth is reversed (Note 2), so that this most evil and fierce corpse can be transformed."

Lin Chengyou added: "As I said just now, the year Shixie died coincided with the overthrow of the previous dynasty. It can be said that the time, place and people are harmonious, so she only took ten years to break out of the ground."

Jianmei shed tears and sighed: "The patriarch died at the hands of the evil corpse, and now it comes out to do evil again. As disciples of Dongming Temple, how can we just sit idly by?"

Juesheng and Qizhi rubbed their heads, that's not what you said just now, if you weren't forcibly detained in Chengwang Mansion by your senior brother, you would have gone back to Dongming Guan Gaowo long ago.

Jianxi wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said angrily: "What is the surname of the corpse, and what is the date of birth? We can only restrain her if we know this. Can the prince find out?"

"The Daoist thinks highly of me." Lin Chengyou said, "No matter how urgent you are, you can only check step by step. I searched the surviving historical materials, and there are very few records about the Fanchuan Palace, but it was in the fifth year of Maode. A collection of relics in front of the palace that specially recorded the words and deeds of the emperor once wrote: During the Dragon Boat Festival, Sima Jin of Yangzhou offered a hundred sugar crabs, and today he ordered fifty of them to be sent to the palace in Fanchuan.

"Sugar crabs have always been a tribute. The fresh and fat ones are the top grade. One is worth a hundred gold. It needs to be sent to Chang'an by a fast horse from Guangling. How important is it, the woman was only seven years old in the fifth year of Maode, if she lived in the palace at that time, then she is probably not the concubine of the abolished emperor or a concubine."

All the Taoists were shocked: "Could it be the daughter of the deposed emperor raised outside the palace?"

Lin Chengyou touched his chin, neither saying yes nor no.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other, since they are princesses, there is nothing to be ashamed of.

All the people talked about it: "Even if the princess's biological mother is humble, the deposed emperor can just give her a title, why is there an empty monument after the princess dies."

"Yeah, I've never heard that a princess can only live in the palace during her lifetime, and cannot recognize her ancestors after her death."

Lin Chengyou said: "Just thinking about it from the body of the corpse, it really doesn't make sense, so why not think about the mother of the corpse, maybe the identity of the corpse's mother is unbearable to be seen in the world, so even the corpse has no name .”

Teng Yuyi's eyelashes trembled. The meaning of these words was already very clear. No matter how humble the princess's mother was, she only needed an imperial decree to become the emperor's woman, unless the woman could not stay with the emperor grandly for the rest of her life.

The five old Taoists all stared wide-eyed: "Could it be that the son said that Shi Xie's mother married another husband, so although Shi Xie is a princess, she can't recognize her ancestors and return to her family."

Lin Chengyou said: "I'm just guessing, or—"

Should I say this? Just now he was only concentrating on coaxing his sister to sleep, but forgot that Tendu and Tengdu were there. He thought he was very thick-skinned, and there were times when he couldn't say it. That's all, Teng Yuyi was very smart, and he could guess it without saying it.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they gradually figured it out. There is another possibility, that the abolished emperor favored the wife of a certain minister, or even committed incest, such as mother concubine, cousins ​​and so on. The emperor gave birth to a daughter with him, but because he wanted to protect the face of the entire imperial family, he could never recognize this daughter for the rest of his life.

Perhaps later Emperor Fei also considered finding a minister to recognize the father of his illegitimate daughter, but because the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, there was no time to go to the genealogy, so after the corpse died, there was only an unnamed stele.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Teng Yuyi looked at his nose and nose, and his heart. If this is the case, it would make sense why the corpse evil has been secretly kept in the palace.

Jianxi coughed to break the embarrassment: "This is already a hundred years ago. If the patriarch hadn't found the cemetery where the corpse was unearthed in the abandoned village of Fanchuan, future generations might never be able to guess the corpse. His identity, and the fact that the patriarch couldn’t get the historical materials of the previous dynasty, even if he guessed something, he still thinks many things don’t make sense, so it’s no wonder that the Yizhi written by him before his death is unclear.”

Qizhi wondered: "Senior brother, there is still one thing that doesn't make sense. The master said that Shixie likes to be alone, why would he get involved with that young man in gold?"

But Wu Dao said: "This question should be asked in reverse. Mr. Jin Yi was transformed by a golden bird in Zhongnan Mountain. He has profound Taoism and cunning methods. There are many Taoist priests who have dealt with it. Various Taoist temples There is no shortage of detailed descriptions, it is romantic by nature, and likes to be with women——cough cough, corpses are filthy and dead things, and they are always cold and ruthless. This young man in gold doesn't seek his own pleasure, why does he follow corpses?"

Lin Chengyou said: "Do you still remember where these two monsters were suppressed before they broke out?"

"Caifenglou in Pingkangfang, a brothel."

Lin Chengyou put the bamboo slips back into the case: "The brothel was opened by a wealthy businessman named He Mingsheng in Luoyang. Since it opened half a year ago, strange things have happened frequently in the building. My mother said that when the Caifeng Building was being rebuilt, the craftsman accidentally smashed the stone tablet in the backyard, because he was afraid of being scolded by the master, so he kept it secret. But that night I inspected the formation and found that the two monsters really broke And it was thirty days ago."

Jue Sheng said: "Could it be that the two monsters broke out not because they smashed the stone tablet, but because of other reasons?"

"Besides this, there is one more thing that I can't figure out." Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi strangely, "Miss Teng, Shixie seems to be very interested in you, you should know about this."

Teng Yu is slanderous, knowing you, why don't you detoxify me soon? As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Lin Chengyou's probing gaze, and her heart trembled. Xiao Ya repeatedly asked her to excuse her life, and also said that her recent encounters with evil spirits had something to do with it. Is it because of the so-called excuse, did Lin Chengyou also have doubts about her identity, that's why he looked at her like that.

"Corpse evil likes to gouge out hearts, especially the first heart that comes out of the battle. We inspected the dozen or so mummy corpses in the south of the city this afternoon. It can be seen that although the corpse has been unearthed for a while, it has not found a suitable first heart so far, so I am also puzzled why it suddenly targeted Mrs. Teng."

Wudao looked at Teng Yuyi strangely: "Miss Teng, it's not that Pindao wants to scare you. The texture and hair of the corpse is no different from that of ordinary people, except that there is a heart missing in her chest. She came out to fill her chest. It will keep digging other people's hearts, and once they set their sights on a certain prey, they will never die. I hope that what happened tonight is just a coincidence, if the corpse really takes a fancy to you, it will be a disaster."

Teng Yuyi became more and more restless, suddenly felt a heat in her sleeves, and quietly gestured with the sword: Is there evil?

Xiao Ya not only did not calm down, but became even hotter.

Isn't it? She was full of doubts, what did the little old man want to do, just at this moment, something in his sleeve stood up and drew a word on her palm.

After thinking about it for a while, she realized that it was the word "you".

Yo? What does this mean? She looked around, and her eyes fell on Lin Chengyou who was flipping through the bamboo slips on the opposite side.

Him?

Xiao Ya said: Find him, kill the corpse.

Teng Yuyi suddenly understood that Xiaoya was still thinking about excuses, desperately urging her to deal with the corpse evil herself, and knowing that she could not deal with the corpse evil alone, so she asked her to use Lin Chengyou's hands to remove the corpse.

Is this a joke? How could Lin Chengyou bring a burden by his side when dealing with the corpse evil? He took ten thousand steps back and said, even if he was willing to cooperate with her, he was the one who made the most of the effort, so how could he ensure that the blessing of eliminating the demon would be remembered on her head.

But when she thought about it deeply, she felt that Xiaoya's idea might not be whimsical. Lin Chengyou is a stickler who doesn't take the hard way, and ordinary methods won't work. However, when it comes to taking the extraordinary way, she has never been troubled.

At this time, both Juesheng and Qizhi panicked: "Senior brother, is Lady Teng the first prey of the corpse evil?"

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: "I'm not sure if it's the first one, after all, there were three women who saw the illusion in Caifeng Tower that night: Gejin, Juanerli and Teng Niangzi, but from the corpse evil Tonight, I came to Chengwang Mansion to see it, at least it shows that it is very interested in Lady Teng."

Du Tinglan's voice trembled a little: "Then what should I do? My son, is there no way to get rid of the corpse evil as soon as possible?"

Teng Yuyi thought about how to persuade Lin Chengyou to take her to get rid of the demon in his mind, and with a honey-like smile, he pointed to his throat at Lin Chengyou, meaning that I have something to say, please detoxify me first.

Lin Chengyou looked at her with interest, but remained silent. Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth. It has reached this point. He still doesn't intend to detoxify her?

Juesheng anxiously said: "Brother, Madam Teng is in an extremely dangerous situation. If the corpse evil comes to invade Teng's mansion, she can't even speak, how can she call for help?"

"Yes, brother, please help Madam Teng."

Even Wu Dao said: "My son, if you have a way, let Mrs. Teng solve it."

Seeing that Lin Chengyou hadn't spoken for a long time, Teng Yuyi asked the maid behind her to get a pen and ink for her, then picked up the pen and wrote a line: Son, you should know how dangerous the ear chamber is tonight.

Lin Chengyou got up and paced around the case, silently looking at Teng Yuyi: You reminded me of the situation in the ear room, are you threatening to repay favor?

Teng Yuyi smiled: The prince thinks too much. But it's a fact that you owe me a favor, after all, Ah Zhi is your own sister.

Lin Chengyou: Are you sure you want me to make it clear?

Teng Yuyi: Could it be that you still want to renege on your debt?

The two of them come and go, there is a hidden edge in their eyes, how can others see clearly, Qi Zhi curiously tugged at Lin Chengyou's sleeve: "Senior brother."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Miss Teng, have you ever wondered why A Zhi invited you to the Fuchu to participate in the poetry meeting today?

Teng Yuyi looked at Lin Chengyou silently.

He smiled: "This is my idea. I have been looking for the whereabouts of the two monsters for the past two days. Ah Zhi’s tone of invitation to enter the mansion is not only to test the two monsters, but also to protect you. A few days ago, I set up a nine-day demon formation in the mansion, which is enough to resist demons. Although this formation failed to stop the corpse evil , but finally suppressed her fierce power, otherwise why didn't she kill someone tonight? Your emerald sword alone can't deal with her."

Teng Yuyi was stunned. She had wondered why Azhi would invite her, who had just met, it turned out to be Lin Chengyou's intention.

"So Mrs. Teng understands, if Ah Zhi hadn't invited you to your residence, if it hadn't been for my formation to protect you, you would have been in a terrible disaster tonight."

He stopped talking at this point, Teng Yuyi, you can think clearly, do I owe you a favor, or do you owe me another favor?

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi wrote a few lines, stood up and bowed deeply: I will remember the great kindness of the son, and I just mentioned the matter of the penthouse, not to threaten kindness, but the son should know that even if the formation can kill the evil spirit Even with all her strength, she couldn't suppress her demagogic means. She had turned many people into puppets before, and after that, almost everyone in the side room lost their minds. This method is more terrifying than killing people with their own hands. If you don't get hurt by the puppet, you will be overly frightened, son, this should not be suppressed by a formation.

Lin Chengyou took the note from the maid and glanced at it, but said nothing. All right, what you said is also reasonable, I owe you this favor, but every penny counts, how to repay the favor is up to me.

Teng Yuyi: I dare not expect anything else, you can help me detoxify first.

Lin Chengyou's face is weird. It's not that he doesn't want to help her detoxify, but to deal with corpse evil, ordinary formations and Taoism often don't work. Teng Yuyi should have already figured out Teng Yuyi's voice, shape and appearance. Teng Yuyi was suddenly speechless, which was a mistake. Maybe he could use this to find a way to restrain the corpse evil.

But Teng Yuyi can't let Teng Yuyi know this, the corpse can see through people's hearts, if Teng Yuyi has a good voice but pretends to be unable to speak, the corpse will know it at a glance, so how can he set up a trap to deal with the corpse.

He thought about it, and smiled innocently: "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about Mrs. Teng's voice, anyway, Mrs. Teng doesn't know Taoism, so it doesn't matter if she can speak, but I promise, I will never Let the corpse evil hurt you, if you lose a hair, I will pay you a hair."

Everyone was taken aback, what does this mean?

Lin Chengyou looked at Ye Leu: "I will send you back to the mansion later, Juesheng and Qizhi will live in Teng's mansion. In the next few days, they will stay together to protect Mrs. Teng, and I will also Stay outside the Teng Mansion, if there is any change, I will be there on call."

Teng Yuyi gasped, Lin Chengyou would rather be her guard than help her detoxify?

Although Du Tinglan was astonished, he was secretly relieved. Lin Chengyou was rebellious, but I heard that he had always made promises to the hair, so Ayu's situation should not be too dangerous. Juesheng and Qizhi are only nine years old, so it makes sense for Amei to be a distinguished guest and stay in the mansion for a few days.

Juesheng and Qizhi were overjoyed and moved to Teng Mansion? Great! The two boxes of Yulu dumplings last time were delicious. I wonder if Mrs. Teng will treat them with vegetarian dishes every day after they live in Teng's mansion.

Lin Chengyou said again: "Ms. Du, although this corpse is aimed at Mrs. Teng, it has many tricks. If you go back to the mansion, I'm afraid it will go to Du's mansion to find you in order to torture Mrs. Teng. In the past few days You'd better stay in Teng Mansion, and return to your own mansion after you subdue the corpse evil."

Du Tinglan was a little apprehensive, turned to look at Teng Yuyi, and immediately showed An Tian's expression to reassure her sister, nodded and said: "Okay, I was worried about my sister, and I can feel at ease when I stay with her these few days A lot."

Teng Yuyi thought about it and wanted to speak, but suddenly felt that Xiao Ya's sword was burning again, Xiao Ya hid in his sleeve, and drew a word on her palm: Tang.

She vaguely understood that the old man had been muttering that he needed to be enshrined regularly last time, and that the enshrined object was the so-called "fetal breath water", specifying the bath soup for Lin Chengyou or the two juniors. It's a mischief, could it be that he became happy in advance when he heard that Juesheng and Qizhi were going to live in the mansion?

Tsk, what does this little old man think about all day long.
