Capture the Jade:

Qingyun Temple is brightly lit.

In the scripture hall, Yu Fengyuzheng and some Taoist priests Qingxu joined forces to treat Yan Sizhi.

Ye Leu has already indicated Yin Shi Chu, but no one is resting in the temple, everyone is waiting anxiously outside the scripture hall, and the king and princess are also there.

‌Wang Sulai Minrui immediately sent a large number of guards to **** Yan Sizhi's wife to Qingyun Temple after learning that Yan Sizhi was killed because of the investigation.

At this moment, Mrs. Yan is safe and sound waiting for news in the corridor.

Teng Yuyi and Juesheng Qizhi sat on the steps of the corridor on the other side, and their eyes never left the scripture hall since they entered the temple.

Everyone was silent, and even Wu Dao was quieter than usual. Everyone held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, even though they knew the hope was slim.

When it was almost dawn, the door of the wing room finally made a "squeak" sound, and Yu Fengyu and some Taoist priests Qingxu came out one after the other.

Teng Yuyi ran up the stairs in three steps and two steps, and Juesheng Qizhi also jumped up with him.

Mrs. Yan staggered before she spoke, and asked tremblingly: "Master, Feng Yu, Wan Chun——"

Facing Mrs. Yan's tearful eyes, Yu Fengyu was extremely exhausted, even more sombre. Yu Fengyu sighed sluggishly: "Forgive Yu for his inability to recover."

Teng Yuyi's heart seemed to be pinched severely by someone. Madam Yan's complexion was as white as paper in an instant, "No...impossible." She swayed like a light fluff, and she pushed everyone away in confusion to enter the room to see her husband, and passed out as soon as she took a step.

‌Wangfei was startled, and quickly supported Mrs. Yan with Teng Yuyi: "Mrs. Yan."

‌Princess Jiao Sheng said to Jue Sheng Qi Zhi: "Hurry up and tidy up a wing room for Mrs. Yan."

"Yes." Juesheng Qizhi wiped away his tears and ran away quickly.

Wang and Qingxu stayed behind to place Yan Sizhi's body, while Yu Fengyu was dragged by Juesheng Qizhi to see Mrs. Yan's pulse.

Wu Dao sighed endlessly, and volunteered to help Qing Xu set up an altar.

The wing room was quickly tidied up. Princess Wang sat on the couch and helped Mrs. Yan tuck the quilt. Looking back anxiously, she saw Teng Yuyi busy in the room.

Close the windows, boil the water, wash the towels, help with the wiping, and do everything by yourself.

‌Princess Wang's heart softened into a ball, and Ayu was busy all night for Yan Sizhi and his wife.

This child is very affectionate in his bones.

She beckoned to Teng Yuyi: "Ayu, come, help put down the curtain."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly responded, got up and handed the twisted towel to Princess ‌.

The regret that neither of them can express in their hearts, Yan Sizhi must be most worried about his wife. After Yan Sizhi passed away, the two spontaneously made taking care of Mrs. Yan their top priority.

Just at this moment, the voices of the Taoists muttering mantras came from outside the window. The voices were thick and desolate, like pines and waves, spreading to every corner of the temple without any haste.

Teng Yuyi was startled for a moment, and then realized that Qingxu and Wudao were going to join forces to become Yan Sizhi and set up a ritual to protect the spirit.

Listening to the sound, this is the most grand vigil she has ever seen. The mournful sound represents the infinite regret and respect of Qingxu Le and others.

Madam Yan was also awakened by the sound of chanting the mantra, she turned her head in panic and looked, she pushed back the quilt and was about to get on the bed: "Wan Chun."

Even though she was extremely sad, Mrs. Yan still showed restraint and respect, but before she got down to the ground, she seemed to be overwhelmed by the great pain, sobbing, and let out a heart-piercing cry. Fortunately, Princess Cheng and Teng Yuyi After stopping in time, Mrs. Yan didn't fall down on the bed. Mrs. Yan's crying was piercing, and Teng Yuyi and Wang Hao's eyes were a little bit astringent: "Mrs. Yan."

Madam Yan cried desperately, curled up in a ball: "Wan Chun—"

Everyone's eye circles turned red, and they hurriedly invited Yu Fengyu into the room, and Yu Fengyu took Mrs. Yan's pulse without saying a word.

‌Princess Wang asked with a heavy heart: "Feng Yu, how is it?"

"Mrs. Yan is pregnant. In the first pregnancy, there was a lack of energy and blood, and it was only after a severe injury. Fortunately, the fetus is still stable, and it will be fine if you rest. Wangfei, you want Yu Immediately draw up a prescription for Mrs. Yan to calm the nerves and protect the pregnancy?"

Everyone in the room was stunned, Teng Yuyi looked at the bed, Madam Yan's face was covered with messy tears, and I don't know if I heard Yu Fengyu's words.

The princess only thought that Mrs. Yan fainted again from heartbreak, and sighed: "This kind of thing has to respect Mrs. Yan's own wishes. She is alone, and it is not easy to raise children alone. Etc. When she wakes up, she can make up her own mind."

Madam Yan's expression was originally blank, but when she heard this, her eyes filled with tears again: "This is the flesh and blood that Wan Chun left for me, no matter how difficult it is, I will bring up this child well, If it is a daughter, I will teach her to be a good person upright, and if it is a gentleman, I will be an upright and good official like his grandfather..."

Everyone's noses were sore, Mrs. Yan struggled to get off the bed, and begged Teng Yuyi and Princess ‌ to help her go to the scripture hall.

Yan Sizhi was still wearing the attire he used to be, lying quietly in the middle of the altar. Juesheng and Qizhi worried that Mrs. Yan would accidentally damage the altar, so they hurried over to greet her. Before her, she looked at her husband's face carefully, and when she lowered her head, tears dripped onto her husband's forehead. It was a cold and lifeless face. Madam Yan was heartbroken, tears pouring down, she leaned over and hugged him. The husband's corpse wailed and said: "Get up and look at me. I still have something to tell you. When you left last night, you said you wanted to eat the millet that I made. I'm ready and waiting for you to come back. How can you say that?" No letter—"

The violent tears of his wife instantly soaked Yan Sizhi's green official robe.

The people in the courtyard also got their eyes wet.

***

In the evening, this grand ceremony was finally coming to an end. When everyone was discussing Yan Sizhi's funeral, they said kingly: "Yan Sizhi is not only Yuer's colleague, but also a senior whom Youer has always respected. Let's go, the Wangfu should take good care of his family—"

At this time, someone suddenly came from outside, saying that the sage called Cheng Wang into the palace urgently.

The person who came to deliver the decree was not a palace official, but a general of Qianniuwei.

Teng Yuyi suddenly became uneasy. Qianniuwei has always only protected saints personally, and he can work for Qianniuwei to deliver letters in person. Could it be that there is a change in Beijing.

This is incredible.

Although Grandpa and Lin Chengyou have not yet returned to the court, Peng Zhen's defeat has already come to an end. Given that the court seized the opportunity everywhere, the battle was won after only a few months, and now there are not leftovers around Gyeonggi The Shence Army is the Shuofang Army who has always been loyal to the royal family. How can they guarantee things when they launch a palace coup at this time?

Unless... that person can clean up the imperial family and control the Beiya imperial army in one fell swoop.

But isn't this whimsical?

Not to mention the sage and Wang Nianfu are strong, even if they are too old, they can already be alone.

Erhuang and some people have experienced training in the Shuofang Army, but as long as they hear that there have been changes in Beijing, it only takes one month to return to Beijing.

Lin Chengyou is also on his way back to court.

In this situation, how to ensure that things can be done.

But judging from that man's city, how could he allow himself to fall short...

Teng Yuyi fell silent. If she wanted to seek rebellion, what would she do?

Suddenly remembered that there was a violent palace change in the palace nearly a hundred years ago. The puppet master secretly raised a large number of advisers and warriors. One night, the prince suddenly sent troops to control the imperial army, the palace and the Nanya. The ministers thus regained power from the powerful queen mother (Note).

By the time the courtiers were shocked, everything was over.

Could it be that person also has this plan?

There is no shortage of loyal ministers and good generals in the court, but when the sharp blade reaches the neck, most people are afraid to say no.

Once the Beijin and Nanya are in the hands of that person, it means that the entire Chang'an city is under firm control.

With control of the three provinces and the imperial army, that person can force several prime ministers to set up an edict overnight. The saint has a chronic illness, so this person only needs to declare the death of the saint and convict him of murdering the saint. On the head of Cheng Wang Lin Xiao, he can take over the dragon seal logically.

Shuofang Army and Shence Army are troops directly under the central government. They have always only listened to the appointment of saints. Once the imperial decree is issued, Lin Chengyou no longer has real power in his hands. The two armies will never listen to the command of Lin Chengyou and the Second Emperor.

Next, no matter whether they sent someone to assassinate Erhuangxie and Lin Chengyou on the way, or set up a trap in Chang'an to invite the king into the urn, Erhuangxie and Lin Chengyou were unable to fly.

Whether it is house arrest or strangulation, the outcome is already doomed. By the way, Lin Chengyou and the second emperor will also be accused of "rebellious ministers and thieves", so that person can still gain a good reputation for suppressing conspiracy.

Even if the two emperors and Lin Chengyou survived by chance, how could they seize power without a single soldier in hand.

In other words, if you want to do something, you only need one word: kill.

As long as you are ruthless enough, the throne will be at your fingertips.

People's ambitions and desires are endless, and the throne is so attractive. The master behind the scenes has dealt with Haoyue Sanren and Wujimen's sorcery for so many years, and his disposition has probably been crooked.

I especially remember that time in the Caifeng Tower, Lin Chengyou used a magic spell to summon the souls of the Tian couple. Only once, he suspected that his mind was bewitched. Fortunately, Wu Dao and Jue Sheng Qi Zhi were there to stop , Lin Chengyou will not indulge again and again.

Lin Chengyou's will has already surpassed ordinary people, and he is still like this... It can be seen how much this sorcery known as the "Soul Scripture" can destroy people's hearts.

But the premise of all this is that that person can successfully assassinate the saint and the king.

Thinking of this, Teng Yuyi felt a little more at ease.

This is absolutely impossible.

Wait, is the residual poison in the saint's body about to explode?

Grandpa once told her that the saint and the king each have a female spirit lock card in their bodies, and when the saint has an attack, only Cheng Wang can help protect the formation. At this time, if someone breaks into the formation, they can completely assassinate the saint and the king. Therefore, although the news of this matter leaked back then, few people know when the saint will attack, and no one knows where to protect him. array.

If ‌Wang makes a mistake while guarding the formation for a saint... for that person, it would kill two birds with one stone.

At present, there is only one person in Chang'an who can gain the greatest benefit from this earth-shattering change.

Teng Yuyi felt chills running down her back, but when she cast her eyes on Mrs. Wang and Qingxu, the worries in her heart disappeared again.

Several elders are so calm and calm, presumably it is still far away from the saint's outbreak. Lin Chengyou has investigated the case for so long, and he will make his uncle and mother-in-law take precautions before leaving Beijing.

The note left by Yan Sizhi has been carefully put away by Cheng Wang. Seeing the appearance of Wang and his wife, it seems that they have already become suspicious. Thinking about the previous life, didn't Lin Chengyou just pretend to be poisoned with arrows in the Fufang Mansion to lure that person to attack.

‌The Wang couple and the sage know and think more than she does.

Over there, the king and concubine seemed to have expected that the sage would come to find them, so they went into the room to discuss with Qing Xu, and they came out soon.

The king's face was as heavy as water, and he left with the Qianniuwei general, but the princess spontaneously stayed in the audience, but there was a faint worry lingering between her brows.

When the guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion escorted Yan Sizhi's body and Mrs. Yan out of the temple, there was a lot of silence in the temple, and everyone's hearts were still heavy, so they were quiet and invited Teng Yuyi and others to the courtyard middle.

After sitting down, Qingxu pointed to Teng Yuyi, and said to Wudao and Juesheng Qizhi: "You and I have seen it, Teng Niang's Yintang is black."

Teng Yuyi was startled.

"This matter is very strange. Although Teng Niang is under the curse of the wrong hook, she has not been able to slay demons and demons in the past six months. After thinking about it, it is very likely that it has something to do with the curse itself. Teng Niang’s grievances have not disappeared, and any act of praying for herself or eliminating disasters will provoke backlash."

"Backlash?"

Qing Xu asked a little: "What you and You'er killed was not an ordinary evil, but a big monster that can stir up the universe. The merits you have accumulated from this cannot be underestimated, and you may even break the curse in one fell swoop. But this time the hook-breaking curse is unusual. There is no one person who cast the curse. When he realized that the curse was about to be eliminated, how could he not send out soaring resentment? Gathering less and more, accumulating feathers and sinking boats, gathering in one place is enough to change the number of days, so there have been frequent visions in Chang'an City recently: not to mention the appearance of the ruler, there are also frequent appearances of Qiyutian. These two things are different from the previous demons and ghosts , Soulless and soulless, it is caused by the great evil spirit. Judging from these kinds of visions, it is precisely because you have accumulated a lot of merit that the calamity you hit has been brought forward. This is called the ebb and flow, It is not easy to break the curse."

Teng Yu thought apprehensively, no wonder Chikou came straight to her that night, it turned out not only because she was the one who borrowed her life, but she herself was the origin of this evil spirit between heaven and earth for a long time.

She was terrified. According to this, Grandpa might also be in danger.

At this time, Princess Cheng also came over. She changed into a neat attire, removed the hairpin ring from her head, and wore a soul-eating bell on her fair neck, as if she was ready to catch demons at any time.

Seeing Teng Yuyi's uneasiness, the princess sat down and patted the back of Teng Yuyi's hand: "Master is right, but don't be afraid, Ayu, my son, the so-called ultimate prosperity, although the catastrophe has been brought forward, it can also prove that You have reached the crucial stage of breaking the curse, as long as you can successfully overcome this difficulty, the curse on you and General Teng may be completely solved."

The concubine's words are always full of warmth, which often reminds Teng Yuyi of her mother. As soon as it sounded, it turned out that it was completely dark before we knew it. Jue Sheng Qi Zhi climbed up to the wall to have a look, and there were countless wandering spirits swimming there.

Be clear and look outside the wall, and said to Teng Yuyi clearly: "You are the one who caused the disaster, and the recent actions to eliminate the disaster for yourself have attracted the evil spirits of the world. You alone are enough to kill you All the wronged souls from all directions have been attracted."

He thought for a while and then said: "The first batch of wandering spirits appeared three days ago. Pindao thought that someone had secretly destroyed the evil net outside the city wall, but after careful inspection by Qin Yao and Lin Xiao, there was no sign of it. Find the leak... If there is no loophole, where do these ghosts come from? Lin Xiao reminded me last night that the loophole is probably hidden in the city. When ghosts and ghosts are floating on the ground, they will not be able to break through the city Evil net, but if there is an exit from the underworld in the city, there will be no hindrance when the ghosts come out."

Jian Tianmeng clapped his hands and said: "So that's it! Perhaps this loophole has appeared long ago, but it was quietly sealed by the scum of the Wuji Gate. No wonder we didn't find it after digging three feet outside the city. silhouetted shadows, for a long time they all nested in the ground.”

Teng Yuyi shivered, and sent back to Lin Chengyou to tell her that if the ruler does not appear, it will be a nest. Recalling the strange old man's face of the monster, just a ruler smiling strangely at her is enough to make her laugh People are chilling all over, if a group of rulers emerge from the ground at the same time...

‌Wangfei said: "My lord and I planned to lead people to search the whole city overnight. Unexpectedly, something happened to Yan Sizhi. The lord continued to search for the whole night in the city, but found nothing. But it's not surprising, if There are really strangers playing tricks at the exit, unless it is difficult for people with extremely high Taoism to recognize it. It will be cloudy again in seven days, and we must find the exit of the underworld before that at the latest."

"Not only that." Qingxu said, "The curse on Teng Niang's body must be dispelled as soon as possible. If the curse is not lifted, these lonely ghosts will not go away. If they are allowed to gather in large numbers in Chang'an The city, the poor are afraid that it will attract the real ghosts from **** to slaughter the city."

Teng Yuyi looked at the princess, who also frowned deeply, obviously their master and apprentice had other hidden worries.

Aren't you afraid...that it will affect the saint? But judging from the expressions of the two elders, it seems that they are not very sincere.

Wudao carelessly explained to Teng Yuyi: "These souls have never done evil, and we cannot forcibly disperse them. If it is for us, we will not be able to unify them if we have grievances. Do it one by one, so many souls will take at least a year and a half to finish. We don't want to damage their cultivation, and we don't want them to continue to linger in the city. The best way now is to help you transform Curse."

At this point, Teng Yuyi has fully understood that these grievances and rulers are coming for her, and as a robber who attracts evil spirits, she must stay nearby until the exit of the underworld is blocked.

If this is not the case, the evil spirits will continue to flow out in the direction of the evil spirit. Wherever she is, they will rush in. Not to mention hurting the people along the way, the resentment and evil spirit in the city will converge. Sooner or later It will also be a catastrophe.

No wonder Master Jingchen said that there will be a catastrophe in Chang'an soon. They must have some exclusive methods in the Wuji Sect to spy on the evil spirits between heaven and earth, so they suspect that there are people who are destined to bring evil spirits in the city.

"Master, can't we use a compass to find the gate of the underworld in the city?" Juesheng and Qizhi asked anxiously.

Qing Xu waved his hand: "This hole is not only invisible and colorless, but also infinitely changeable. When I was young, it was only the size of a needle nose. Even if I tried my best to search for it all over the city, it would take at least four or five days."

"Should I call on fellow Taoists to help?"

The princess shook her head: "...The Promise Gate has been in the dark for many years, and there are a few people with ulterior motives in Chang'an Taoist temples. It is possible, but I am afraid that someone will deliberately take the opportunity to confuse the line of sight."

"Qinyao gave me an idea just now." Qingxu said, "It's not strange that Teng Niang is trapped in this reincarnation with a curse, but the strange thing is that Li Sanniang obviously didn't bring the curse, It will be reincarnated again. Sending back to Pindao felt strange, so he and Yuer repeatedly questioned Li Sanniang, but Li Sanniang couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to confess that the thing that was stolen from you back then was not an ordinary thing, but that your aunt did it for you. The lantern for blessing, the lotus flower on the lantern is made of gold silk and jade, and it was supposed to be sent to Baolian Monastery to pray for you..."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, and then cursed in her heart.

"Li Sanniang happened to come out of your Teng Mansion that day, and because she was greedy for the exquisiteness of those lanterns, she stole one of them while the servants in your mansion were not paying attention. I envy your mother who is willing to spend so much money to invite eminent monks to pray for you. She also wanted to get some luck, so she secretly changed your birthday horoscope to her own. After playing for a whole afternoon, she She lied that she picked it up at the gate of Teng Mansion, and sent the lantern to Baolian Temple, but she didn't know that people with a curse could not just pray for blessings. One point, half a year has already been entangled with grievances, so not long after you died in the previous life, she also suffered from the epidemic, but the curse was not aimed at her after all, so she had a chance to be reborn. It is a pity that Pindao and Youer did not pay attention Asked where she woke up from, it stands to reason that since Li Sanniang is a kid who was imprisoned by this curse, the place of rebirth should be near the exit of the underworld—"

‌Princess Wang thought about it and said: "I heard that Li Sanniang is only one year older than Ayu, and her puppet was forged ten years ago. I guess her rebirth should be before the age of six. It has been many years, even if she is in Chang'an at the moment, she may not remember clearly—"

So there is nothing to do. Wu Dao sighed in disappointment, Jue Sheng abandoned his wisdom and was a little anxious: "There are more and more evil spirits outside the wall, and it is estimated that Chikou will find them soon. Let’s go out and look for it.”

‌Princess Wang stood up resolutely: "How about this, I will take people to search overnight, at worst, search every square and every corner, it is better than staying here."

When everyone was at a loss, Teng Yuyi suddenly said: "Maybe there is someone who can help us think about it. A classmate of my academy is the granddaughter of Deng Shizhong. Deng Niang said more than once that she met Li Huaigu when she was young. , but Li Huaigu only came to Chang'an once or twice in his early years, so something unusual must have happened—"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the concubine asked a group of guards in surprise: "It's not too late, take some of my posts and ask Niang Deng for some."

It was Princess Cheng who posted some invitations in person, and it didn't take long for the Deng family to **** Deng Weili to come.

After listening to Teng Yuyi's description, Deng Weili was stunned for a while.

She only thought that Teng Yuyi was still angry about Li Sanniang's cheeky pretending to be herself. She wanted to tease Teng Yuyi a few words, but suddenly remembered that it was Princess Cheng who invited her, so she replied honestly: "Return In the words of the princess, I met Li Huaigu once when I was young. It was the eighth year of Longyuan, and I was having a banquet with the elders in the Marquis of Lin'an. There is a well in the backyard of the Marquis, and Li Huaigu accidentally fell into it while playing. In the well, fortunately, there was a wooden barrel in the well that caught her. At that time, her mother was by the well, and everyone was terrified. But I still remember that the first thing Li Huaigu did after he was rescued was not to cry, but to ask Her mother: How old is Longyuan now? Both my sister and I think she looks weird. Li Sanniang heard that it was the eighth year of Longyuan, and she ran into the garden regardless of her hair and dress. I was very curious about this little girl. If I wanted to do something, I asked my sisters to send it to me, but Li Sanniang soon returned frustrated, and was beaten up by her aunt."

Speaking of this, Deng Weili said to Teng Yuyi: "It is said that I have a good memory, but in fact I don't remember everything. Usual. Sending back Li Huaigu to Wang Shixie who lied about being a lifesaver, I was still a little puzzled. I remember that she didn't hold a puppet in her arms that day, but the puppet in Li Huaigu's room The puppet has indeed been used for many years, I just thought I remembered it wrong, but it didn't take long to hear that she was a fake—"

***

The crowd rushed to the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion, and after one night, there were many more ghosts on the road. As Qingxu said, they were no longer just lonely souls without a master, but mixed with a large number of ghosts and Wuchang Evil spirits like ghosts.

These evil spirits came whistling, and could swallow a wandering soul in one bite. Wu Dao slapped out the long sword in his hand, and pointed it straight at the evil spirits.

Teng Yuyi paid careful attention, and the sword light of Wudao really avoided encountering those wandering ghosts.

‌The same is true when Wang Hao and Jue Sheng Qi Zhi cast spells.

In addition, Jiefa can also see Jinwu Guards from time to time. Judging from the number, it is far more than the number of people patrolling at night in the past. .

In this way, while driving the road while collecting evil spirits, I quickly arrived at Rongfu Lane where the Marquis of Lin'an was located. When I arrived at the gate of the Marquis Mansion, I saw that the gate of the mansion was open. It was already midnight, but the stewards and servants were panicking. Li ran out in a panic.

Everyone was a little surprised, since the old Marquis died of illness five years ago, the prestige of the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion has declined greatly, but no matter how bad it is, the people in the mansion are not so unruly.

The steward saw Qingxu as if he had seen a savior, and ordered people to wait at the door, approached with a pale face, and said: "The princess and the Taoist priest can't see each other. Something is wrong in the mansion, little people I really don’t dare to stay inside anymore, and I’m discussing going to Luoyang to find our Lord Hou.”

"Master Hou is not in the mansion?"

"Half a month ago our in-law's old lady celebrated her birthday. The young master took Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Lang to Luoyang. He said he would stay for a few more days, so he hasn't returned yet. Now we are the only ones in the mansion. A few days ago, something was not quite right in the mansion. The villain invited Taoist priest Ruoque from the nearby Zhishan Temple to take a look. Taoist priest Ruoque looked at the door and insisted that he could not see any evil spirit. Three days ago suddenly Many people ran into ghosts in the mansion, and the little people were terrified. They went to look for Taoist priest Ruoque, but they saw the Taoist priest leading his younger brothers to pack their bags and prepare to leave Chang'an. The Taoist priest said that there was a vision in the sky. There are wandering ghosts not only in our mansion, but all over the streets. He is going to go out to hide for a few days, and he gave us some talismans, so that we can ask for blessings. Tonight, the little people feel that it is really cold in the mansion. Being haunted by evil spirits, I decided to go out and hide for a while."

Wu Dao grinned his teeth: "If you lack, that old boy is even more unreliable than us."

Qing Xu and Concubine Wang focused on Fakong to inspect, no wonder Taoist Ruo Que couldn't see the problem, the outside of the Hou's mansion was obviously tampered with, and there was no trace of evil spirit.

"How many wells are there in your mansion?" ‌Princess Wang asked.

Under the steward's guidance, a group of people quickly found the well that year. ‌Shi Gai, it seems that it has long been abandoned.

As soon as she stepped into the garden, Teng Yuyi felt a gust of dark wind blowing in. Earlier, Juesheng Qizhi helped her open her eyes. The cold wind moves forward, and the chill seems to be able to penetrate the bone marrow.

She carried Xiao Yajian like this, let alone other people, looking back at the steward of the Hou Mansion, her lips turned purple from the cold.

Seeing the well, the concubine hurriedly asked Jue Sheng Qi Zhi to lead the steward outside.

Be quiet and walk around the well.

"Open the manhole cover."

Before everyone got together, as soon as the well cover was removed, screams erupted from the bottom of the well, and the thick evil spirit, like a gushing waterfall, soared into the sky in an instant.

Wudao and the others turned pale with shock: "Not good. If there are only Chikuo and the little ghost, this place will not be so dark. Could it be that the flying Yaksha from the underworld has been attracted."

Teng Yuyi's heart was pounding, the mouth of the well was surrounded by black mist, and the bottom was actually bottomless. Through the thick fog, one could vaguely see that the bottom was a boundless black sea, filled with pale white The dead body, the waves swayed silently, and the vast and gloomy sea surface made people feel dizzy and palpitating just by looking at it.

Even Wu Dao couldn't help shivering. This kind of gloomy scene from the Yin Hell is far more terrifying than just facing monsters like Naizhong and Shixie.

Teng Yuyi has heard of Flying Yaksha, and reported that she had read about it in Buddhist scriptures when she was hiding in Dayin Temple. Things are one male and one female, and they always like to go out in pairs.

It is rumored that this pair of yakshas are "shaped like bats, with two wings like mats". Let's hit it.

‌The face of the princess is as frosty as frost: "There are corpses and heavy loads in front, and it is not unusual to attract a pair of flying yakshas. Seeing the situation, they have already escaped. Kuannu, go to Dayin Temple and tell Yuanjue Abbot, please gather all the monks and Taoists in the city overnight to subdue the demons. The five monks and I will stay here to assist the master. Juesheng, Qizhi, and Ayu, the three of you are not good enough, stay outside the formation and fight with the master. Chang Commander and others protect the formation."

"Yes."

Some preparatory work needs to be done before the formation is activated. The more urgent the situation is, the more calm and resolute the princess will be.

She asked Juesheng Qizhi to **** all the people of the Marquis of Lin'an to Qingyun Temple, and at the same time asked Commander Chang to enter the palace overnight to report the matter. Soon, a large number of Jinwu guards and imperial guards surrounded the Marquis of Lin'an live.

At daybreak, the king also came from the palace.

Teng Yuyi's heart fell to the ground. The guards were well-trained and commanded by King Cheng himself. With King Cheng's calmness and wisdom, he didn't have to worry about what went wrong when everyone did it.

The mouth of the well was covered with talismans in a blink of an eye, but there was still a steady stream of evil spirits pouring out. Not long after, the Taoist priests of several Chang'an Taoist temples including Yuxu Temple also rushed to Hou's mansion after hearing the news.

Along with them, there are Yuanhui and Yuanqing, disciples of Abbot Yuanjue.

I think it was in consideration of the matter of Mrs. Jingchen, the abbot was afraid that some treacherous people might be mixed in among these Taoists, and he was busy looking for Flying Yasha, so he sent a few sharp brothers to help clean up Fake some guards.

Qingxu didn't say thank you, but couldn't help but cast a few glances at the two great monks.

After a series of intensive arrangements, the inside and outside of the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion are in full swing.

The three floors and the outer three floors of a huge mansion were filled with people from all sides in a blink of an eye.

Sitting cross-legged among the crowd, Qing Xu said in a deep voice, "Once the gate of **** is opened, the people of Chang'an will be doomed. The gate has been open for more than three days, and it will not be closed in one day. Pindao suppressed it with the Five-Phase Returning Soul Formation, and at least it would take seven days and seven nights to seal the entrance of the cave. In addition, you have also seen that there are still a large number of innocent wandering souls here, and it would be against the law to suppress them with magic The way of heaven, so when we cast spells, please ask friends from the Yuxu Temple and Lingyun Temple to help recite the mantra, so that we can not only send away the evil spirits and wild ghosts nearby, but also prevent them from being swallowed by the evil spirits around them."

All said in a loud voice: "According to this."

Be more clear and clear to Yuan Huiyuan: "Please ask the two mages to help us sweep the formation."

"No."

Be clear and look at Teng Yuyi again: "Mrs. Teng is the one who should be robbed. Wherever you go, the evil spirits will follow you. When we do the trick, please be sure to guard Teng Niang." Outside the formation."

Teng Yuyi said sternly: "It's all right to listen to you."

Be clear and turn your attention to Wang who is outside the formation.

‌Wang stood in the pavilion with a sword in his arms, holding a jade-like pine. Not far in front of him was Princess , who was busy inspecting the formation.

‌The Scarlet Heaven Sword in Wang Huaizhong seemed to sense the evil energy around him, and kept buzzing warning sounds. Although it hadn't been unsheathed yet, the sword's light had already vibrated the surrounding Yin energy like water waves.

Wang originally stared at the figure of his wife, and when he noticed Qingxu's gaze, he turned his head and nodded towards Qingxu, his gaze was soft.

The worry in the old man's eyes disappeared.

Teng Yuyi secretly guessed that the Taoist priest was asking about the condition of the sage, so it’s fine if you don’t do the ritual. Once it officially starts, Qingxu and others can’t leave this place for a while. The old man must be most worried about the sage. Fortunately, the sage There will be symptoms before the onset of residual poison in the body.

Apparently, the saint is safe and sound.

After arranging everything, Qing Xu raised a hand to throw a bag-like thing into the air, and at the same time flicked the whisk, and shouted loudly: "The evil spirits are rampant, and the common people are killed. My younger brother, Qing Xu, see the hair Lord, at the time of death and life, the Taoist gods are helpless, and I want to give up my life to control all evil spirits, so that I can see that the true way will last forever. I respectfully ask the five emperors and old lords to use the light of Taixu to help the crisis and rescue the poor, covering the world and shining the world." (Note)

These words were like Huang Zhong Dalu, shaking the world for a while. Qing Xu's voice suddenly rose: "Go up to the sun and the moon, I am on the way, hurry like a law, break—"

At first, it was just the rustling of the plants and trees in the garden, and then the sound of the wind rose suddenly, like a gathering of soldiers, beating gongs and drums, driving thousands of flags, controlling hundreds of soldiers, coming from all directions.

At the same time, the dilapidated pouch in mid-air suddenly appeared, like a full moon hanging steadily above the mouth of the well. contend.

The extremely cold hunting wind at the mouth of the well seemed to be suppressed by an invisible thick quilt, and it suddenly attenuated.

Teng Yuyi's heart agitated, amidst the sound of chanting mantras by hundreds of Taoist priests, the heavenly-moving five-phase returning soul array was officially activated.

Once this formation is done, it will last for seven days and seven nights.

Under the protection of Qingxu and others, the aura of the formation will last forever, and the yin qi at the mouth of the well will sometimes weaken and sometimes skyrocket, but there is no sign of closing for a long time. thing.

In order to avoid mistakes, before the entrance of the cave is officially closed, the people in the formation can only rest for a while at noon when the yang energy is at its peak.

Only at noon, people in the formation can stop to eat something, or get up and walk around for a while.

At this time, Teng Yuyi and Juesheng Qizhi would send the prepared soup and porridge to everyone in the formation one by one.

Although the saint and the queen are in the palace, they are very concerned about the demons in the city. In addition to calling on the Taoist priests from Luoyang and other places to help eliminate the demons, the queen also personally brought the Shangshi Bureau to cook meals for everyone , considering that guarding the formation consumes a lot of soul, every meal is indispensable for nourishing Qi.

By noon on the seventh day, Taoist priest Qingxu still stood still, but his face was already quite ugly. Juesheng and Qizhi personally fed the master. Down.

Teng Yuyi was very worried. This kind of big formation had extremely high requirements on the insiders of the main formation. The Daoist leader is already old, so it is inevitable that he will not be able to support it in a few days.

The 王 and wangfei also looked worried, the wangfei got up and went to the Taoist priest Qingxu and said something, probably suggesting another Taoist priest to lead the battle, the Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked away. Looking at it on Monday, he closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, if there is a change, it is not only Teng Yuyi who should be robbed, but these people in the formation, and even the people of Chang'an, are all doomed.

Juesheng and Qizhi came out with food boxes, and Teng Yuyi pushed the full food in front of them: "The Taoist leader——"

Qizhi took a mouthful of food anxiously, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, with Shigong as an old man, it's no problem to last for another two days."

"That's right, that's right." Juesheng answered, "Tonight is a cloudy day. If you survive tonight, it will be a great achievement. Besides, the senior brother will soon return to Chang'an. At worst, when the senior master can't hold on, the senior brother Just take over."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, Lin Chengyou is coming back soon? I don't know if grandpa is safe or not, but it's a pity that Cheng Bo couldn't let Cheng Bo inquire about the battle ahead after being trapped in the Hou's mansion these few days. She felt anxious and looked ahead worriedly. I lost a lot of weight.

"Aside from using this formation to suppress, isn't there an easier way?"

Wu Dao was sitting by the side having a meal, and when he heard this, he saw Xixi and said fiercely: "Of course there are Fas, and Teng Niang is the one who should be robbed. The curse rises up to forcibly eliminate the demon, you only need to block the mouth of the well with your body, and guarantee that even the flying Yaksha will chase you away, but in this way, your life will not be saved, how can the Taoist priest and us-"

Jian Tianyang slapped Jianxi on the back of the head with his hand: "Stop farting, you can't shut your mouth after eating."

Jian Xi knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word.

Teng Yuyi frowned slightly, so it was like this, and when she saw Xu Xun and Princess , her eyes became more grateful.

Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly asked Teng Yuyi to eat: "Teng Niang, if you don't eat, we will finish this bowl of taro soup."

At night, the sky was unprecedentedly gloomy, and the dome was covered with overcast clouds. Correspondingly, the scene at the bottom of the well changed again. It was no longer a vast black sea, but filled with fiery magma and raging fire. The air rose to the sky again, and countless evil spirits tried to climb out of the rolling magma.

The sound of Qing Xu's mantra chanting is brighter than before. With the cooperation of the crowd, the clear light in the cloth bag is instantly urged to the extreme, covering the mouth of the well, and once again the surging The Yin Qi was held tightly.

When the yin qi rises, the people in the formation need to expend more attention. In just a few hours, everyone is sweating profusely.

In the middle of the night, someone came to find King Cheng in a hurry.

The visitor is Guan Gonggong from the palace.

Guan Gonggong put on a kind smile on his face, and said: "This slave is here to visit the Taoist priest and fellow Taoists."

However, when no one was paying attention, he quickly said something to ‌Wang Fu'er.

‌Wang's face changed as expected, and he left with Guan Gonggong after sitting for a while.

Teng Yu's heart sank, although Cheng Wang returned to normal in an instant, but it can't be a trivial matter that can change Cheng Wang's face.

Could it be that the aftermath of the saint has flared up?

... If the sage will have an attack in a short period of time, how can Qingxu be able to rest assured to deploy here.

Suddenly startled, could it be that this city full of grievances provoked the saint to go into a fit earlier? No wonder the concubine and Qingxu were so worried before they set up the battle. Although they were not very serious, they had considered this possibility. It seemed that it was a long time in advance, and even the always thoughtful king did not expect it. and.

‌Not long after the king left, Commander Chang came to find Princess Cheng, with an ordinary appearance on the surface, but a little more hurried footsteps than usual.

Commander Chang leaned over to speak to Princess Cheng. Princess Wang suddenly opened her eyes, then stabilized herself again, and said with a slight smile, "Please don't bother making supper for us, the formation is coming to an end." I don’t even have a chance to eat it when it’s delivered. Master and I will enter the palace tomorrow morning, and we’ll try her handicrafts.”

Clearly, the white eyebrows trembled slightly, and slowly opened the eyes.

Teng Yuyi's back hair quietly seeped a layer of cold sweat, she guessed right, the sage just had a fit, and the guards could not do without Wang, who could only send Commander Chang to report the news.

During the detoxification, both Cheng Wang and the saint were defenseless, which is equivalent to entrusting their lives together. The guards are not only people who understand spells, but also more reliable than anyone else.

In the whole world, apart from Wangfei and Qingxu, only Abbot Yuanjue is left.

Sure enough, Princess Cheng said casually: "Abbot Yuanjue has been busy looking for Flying Yasha these few days, he must have been exhausted, I wonder if the old man wants to have some supper?"

Commander Chang said: "The abbot has found Feitian Yasha, and he is leading all the monks to cast down demons. That thing is so powerful. I heard that half of the temples have been collapsed."

Teng Yuyi held her breath, even Abbot Yuanjue couldn't escape.

Suddenly, I thought again, did the master behind the scenes expect the saint to have an early attack? No, he didn't even count her in. The ghastly underworld of the Marquis of Lin'an, the flying Yaksha who fled... Qing Xuxie and others are trapped here to help her break the curse...

Everything, just for the sake of things. He took advantage of everyone's weaknesses.

‌Wangfei asked: "It's good if you find it, I don't know if it is one or a pair?"

"I heard that only one was found, and the other is still missing."

Everyone's complexion became extremely bad.

"Understood, you go to the palace and return to life." ‌The princess looked as usual.

After Commander Chang left, Concubine Wang and Qingxu quickly exchanged glances, even if they tried their best to cover up, the burnt color could be seen in their eyes.

Thinking over and over again, the princess seems to have thought of a countermeasure, she raised her head and said to the dusty Yuxu Temple: "The younger generation is a little out of energy, please send someone to help you for a while, you must abandon your sage and wisdom, including Daoist Master Chen got sick not long ago, and his vitality has not fully recovered at the moment, you will protect the left and right sides throughout the whole process, and help the Taoist priest to deliver vitality when necessary."

This is to prevent some changes in the dust, Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly responded.

‌Wangfei’s front foot left the front of the formation, and her back foot was dusty, but she was too old and injured, and her inner body was obviously not as good as her. The clear light suddenly dimmed a bit.

Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly pressed their palms against their backs, and after a while, the light slowly lit up.

The concubine was obviously worried about the king and the saint, so she wanted to take people away, but at this moment, a strange cry came from outside the mansion, coming straight to the garden, and the sound suddenly It sounds like a woodpecker pecking at a tree stump with its beak, but it is much harsher and louder.

Hearing this strange sound, the faces of all the Taoist priests present changed in unison.

"Flying Yasha!"

Teng Yuyi was surprised to hear the reputation, and saw a human-like bird attacking in the night sky. Its eyes were blood red, its head was like a mouse, and it looked a bit like a bat, but it was huge and its wings were more than ten feet long. Wide, the volley struck, instantly covering everyone's heads tightly.

***

In the darkness, a carriage gallops into the city.

In the car, Lin Chengyou was using his underwear to help Teng Shao survive. They traveled day and night and changed their horses several times along the way. It took half a month to get there in just seven days.

The corpse poison in Teng Shao's body has spread all over his body, and others would die long ago, but Lin Chengyou's previous words had an effect. Teng Shao still persisted with his will because he couldn't let go of his daughter.

As soon as Lin Chengyou entered the city, he felt the yin around him, his face sank, and he opened the window to look out.

At this time, Teng Shao, who had been in a coma for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes: "Yu'er——"

"General Teng."

As if anticipating that his daughter would be in danger, Teng Shao raised his head nervously, and said in a sad tone after a while: "Still... still can't escape..."

Perhaps it was because he was connected with his daughter and knew that her daughter was in danger at this time, or maybe he knew that only his own death could bring her daughter a chance of survival. Dim down.

***

Fei Tian Yasha's scarlet eyes looked down, and flew straight towards Teng Yuyi.

The people in the courtyard made a horrified commotion. Even if there was a law in the depths, it was hard not to feel terrified in the face of such a giant.

Teng Yu backed away in panic, but before the thing flew close, three fire dragons flew towards him, blocking the opponent's path a little bit.

The concubine urged the soul-devouring bell to stop Teng Yuyi.

It's a pity that she is obviously not a match for this kind of monster. Flying Yasha was unscathed, but brought three fire dragons to move their claws and grabbed the princess.

Qing Xu opened his eyes and shouted violently: "You are not her match, run away!"

‌The concubine was extremely agile, and barely avoided the giant claw by rolling on the spot.

Qingxu is the person in the main formation, and when his attention is distracted, the clear light above his head becomes weak again, and soon a ghost comes out of the wellhead, laughing strangely and attacking the Taoist priests in the formation.

Yuan Hui and Yuan Qing hurriedly threw rosary beads, and all Taoists also threw out talismans one after another.

But the dark power of the gate of **** is not to be underestimated, and a large number of evil spirits came out of the slightest gap.

Prevent this side, and another side will pop up again. Wu Dao was in a hurry to deal with it with the sword, so the spiritual power in the formation weakened again, and in a blink of an eye, more evil spirits emerged.

Teng Yuyi looked impatiently, everyone in the formation would suffer if things went on like this, so she held her sword and went forward to help, and quickly cleared two or three of them, but soon, she heard the sound of hunting from behind, that The smell is extremely fishy, ​​cold to the heart.

The speed was as fast as lightning. She didn't even have time to dodge. The flames finally burned Feitian Yasha's back.

Flying Yasha let out a shriek, abandoning Teng Yuyi and grabbing Princess ‌‌ instead.

"Run, Ayu." ‌The concubine was as swift as a swallow, and quickly ran to the treetops beside her, dodging left and right, desperately trying to lure Feitian Yasha away.

Teng Yuyi's eyes were astringent, and under the more vacant host, the formation managed to stabilize again, but Feitian Yasha seemed to be aiming at the princess, chasing the princess quite a bit along the way.

The monks and Taoists tried their best to cast spells on it, but instead of being injured, Feitian Yasha became stronger and stronger. Under its call, the Yin energy at the mouth of the well sprang up again, even if it was pure and empty, it tried its best to fight against it. Some couldn't resist it anymore.

Suddenly heard Yuan Hui's exclamation, it turned out that Flying Yasha quickly broke through the cassock and rushed to the treetops. Seeing that it was only a few feet away, the giant claws were about to grab the princess's celestial cap.

Teng Yuyi's throat choked, it was Lin Chengyou's mother, if something happened to her, Lin Chengyou would be heartbroken.

There is also the king who is busy detoxifying the saint at the moment. I heard that Lin Chengyou admired his father since he was a child, but the king and the saint are both trapped in the palace. Being plotted against.

She moved her eyes to look at the formation, and the emptiness and abandonment of wisdom in front of her eyes were all cherished by Lin Chengyou.

If it weren't for protecting her, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

There is also Wu Dao, who is so treacherous and cunning on weekdays. To help her break the curse tonight, I am afraid that he will not escape. His words are so annoying, but his actions are so condescending...

As for the saint in the palace, he is a rare and good emperor. He not only loves Lin Chengyou, but also has great compassion for the people. If the detoxification is not timely, he will become an idiot again.

There are also monks and Taoists who helped protect the formation tonight, and the people in Chang'an City who were infested by evil spirits... This disaster has nothing to do with them, but because of her, innocent people were implicated.

This is her Teng family's injustice, how can she hurt others.

Seeing that Feitian Yasha had already attacked Princess Cheng, Teng Yuyi yelled: "Hey, Naizhong is your good friend, right? I killed it! You can not only increase your Yin power by eating me, but you can also replace me Your good friend revenge. Come, eat me if you have the ability!"

Flying Yaksha heard the words, and he turned in mid-air, made a sad and sad sound, and attacked Teng Yuyi.

Qing Xu and Jue Sheng Qi Zhi suddenly opened their eyes: "Teng Niang -"

The concubine's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly used her lightness kung fu to chase after Fei Tian Yasha, but Fei Tian Yasha was not something ordinary people could catch up with, and she was left far behind in an instant.

Teng Yuyi walked quickly to the well, turned her head, and carefully looked at everyone in front of her through the mist of tears: "The Taoist priest, Juesheng, Qizhi, five seniors——"

She called everyone's name seriously in her heart, and said with a choked voice: "Although I can't break the curse, it's worth it to be able to make friends with you."

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

Wu Dao's complexion is ugly: "Mother Teng!"

Juesheng and Qizhi seemed to have anticipated what Teng Yuyi was going to do, crying and shaking their heads desperately: "No, Mrs. Teng, you can't—brother will be sad to death—"

Teng Yuyi's eyes became hot, and he tightly held the jade pendant in his hand: "Help me tell your senior brother. I tried my best, and I will make him a flower cake when I get older."

Before the words fell, the huge figure had already rushed to the front, and the princess seemed to be desperate, and she cried out sadly: "Ayu

! "

Teng Yuyi's complexion sank, and before the monster's giant claws could grab her, she held the jade pendant on her chest with both hands, and jumped down into the well.

At this moment, a moon-white figure from the sky above the outer courtyard rushed towards him. Seeing this, his liver and gallbladder were broken.

Then only caught a piece of goose yellow clothes corner.

"Teng Yuyi!" Lin Chengyou

The turbulent and inexhaustible Yin Qi finally dimmed as Teng Yuyi's body submerged.
