Capture the Jade:
The next day, Tengfu, Tan Shangyue.
Teng Yuyi woke up early in the morning, remembering what happened yesterday, so she asked Biluo to go to the chef to arrange to remake the flower cake mould, and after she finished her dressing, she asked Chunrong to prepare rose apples and wine, and after arranging everything, she sat by the window On the front bed.
When all the maids in the room retreated, she said to Xiao Yajian: "Come out."
Xiaoya seemed to have smelled the aroma of the wine long ago, upon hearing this, he hurriedly got out of the sword, raising his hand to move the wine cup.
"Hey, don't worry." Teng Yuyi slowly lifted the pot and poured the wine, "I'll pour the wine for you, but before drinking, I have to tell you something serious."
Xiao Ya picked up a apple rose instead: "Let's talk."
"Last night at the women's banquet, did you see who plotted against me?"
Xiaoya buried his head in the fruit and said, "I didn't see anything."
"Didn't see it or can't tell?" Teng Yuyi squinted at him.
Xiaoya hugged the rose apple and remained silent.
Not long after, Xu was afraid that Teng Yuyi would take the wine away in a fit of anger, so he sighed bitterly: "Hey, let me just tell you the truth. Don't say that I fell asleep in the sword last night, I really saw it. What kind of old man must not talk nonsense, think about it, those "monsters" and "good people and evil people" are part of your calamity, if you explain it to you in advance, or teach you how to deal with it, this is called leaking secrets, not only can't help You will bring unexpected new disasters."
Teng Yuyi heard this statement for the first time, and wondered: "I can't remind you? You don't have to tell who that person is, just tell me whether that person is a man or a woman and why he hurt me."
Xiao Ya shook his head like a rattle drum: "Of course not. Since the old man has recognized the master, he has to help the master through the disaster. If the right thing is done, the old man can do it; if the wrong thing is done, the old man must not meddle indiscriminately, otherwise he will not be able to help him." If you are busy, you will harm the master."
No wonder the little old man only helps her to ward off evil spirits, and doesn't say much about other things. Found out?
Teng Yuyi rubbed his chin: "You can't say bad guys, you can always talk about borrowing lives. I didn't get the merit of eliminating demons when I dealt with Naizhong last time. If this continues, I don't know when I will finish borrowing lives Injustice, besides expelling ghosts and demons, is there any other way to eliminate disasters?"
Xiao Ya looked puzzled: "Didn't the old man tell you last time?"
Teng Yuyi was even more inexplicable: "What did you say?"
Xiao Ya made a gesture and sniffed: "Old man, I heard that since you came back from Dayin Temple that day, the evil spirit on your body has lightened up a lot. It can be seen that you not only got merit from dealing with Nai Zhong that night, but also got a lot of benefits from it." Not too small."
Teng Yuyi was overjoyed at first, but then he was puzzled and said: "No way, I couldn't get close when I surrendered to the weight, how can I get merit?"
"Have you forgotten the **** Rakshasa that Haoyue Sanren turned into? If you hadn't asked Duanfu to prepare the basin of footwashing water, and hadn't scattered all the evil spirits from his body, how could you have stopped this **** Rakshasa from fighting with Naizhong in time?" If you fit together, when she offers a sacrifice, the disaster will be immeasurable, so you not only have credit for eliminating demons, but also a lot of credit."
This is really a surprise, Teng Yuyi thought happily for a while, and poured wine for Xiaoya: "Then... If this continues, do I just need to kill one or two more monsters?"
Xiao Ya smashed his mouth: "That's right, but there must be a big evil being killed by you, right? Don't forget, whether it is Shuangxie or Naizhong, they are all from the group of Haoyue Sanren Deliberately drawn out from the formation, everything has advantages and disadvantages, although these few monsters almost killed you, but the merit they brought cannot be underestimated, the death of Haoyue Sanren, no one will secretly disturb the universe In the future, we may only be able to find some small evils outside to get rid of them, but how many such small evils are not worth a big evil.”
Teng Yuyi frowned: "So it will take some time for me to accumulate merit?"
Xiao Ya hiccupped: "It's not certain, don't worry, there might be something good, just wait."
Suddenly I heard the servant girl in the corridor say: "Lady, the Du family's aunt is here."
Teng Yuyi hurriedly stood up to greet her: "Sister."
Just as Du Tinglan entered the door, Cheng Bo also came behind.
Teng Yuyi took Du Tinglan's arm and raised her voice to the outside world: "Let Cheng Bo wait for me outside."
Du Tinglan didn't even have time to take off the cloak on her body, so she followed Teng Yu to the outside in surprise.
Cheng Bo expected that Teng Yuyi would not shy away from his cousin, so he went straight to the point when he came in: "This morning, the old slave has already arranged, and recently there are three groups to follow secretly. Liu Siniang, if there is anything wrong with the other party, come back and report to the lady immediately, but this helper can only follow for a while, and when these young ladies enter the academy to study, they may not be able to keep an eye on them."
Du Tinglan was shocked, how could her sister suddenly arrange someone to deal with these three little ladies.
Teng Yuyi walked a few steps with her hands behind her back: "That's enough. This person was able to plot against me at the banquet, and he must have been plotting secretly for a long time. I don't think she will show her feet soon. You might as well follow first. If there are no flaws until the start of the academy, just think of another way. Be careful, don't let the other party notice."
The two went back to the back room, Du Tinglan pulled her younger sister to sit down on the couch in surprise: "What happened?"
Teng Yuyi took out the frayed silk ribbon and explained in detail what happened last night.
Du Tinglan was shocked and angry: "What a dirty trick! Are you sure it's these three people? Wu Erniang and Liu Siniang haven't dealt with their sister a few times, and Li Sanniang and our sisters can be regarded as childhood playmates... ..."
The more she talked, the more frightened she became: "If it's really one of them, it's true, it's true that you know people, know faces, but don't know their hearts."
Teng Yuyi said: "These three people were sitting on my left at the time, and there were many coincidences in what happened last night. I always feel that the person did not plan it on a whim, but planned it for a long time. One time, it is inevitable. There will be a next time, I have to find a way to catch this person before he makes another move."
Du Tinglan lowered his head and thought about it, and suddenly showed a horrified look: "These three people are all on the student list of the academy, if we can't find out the details of this person before the start of school, wouldn't we have to deal with this person all day after enrollment. "
Teng Yuyi heard the words and didn't answer, but suddenly remembered the time when she was swinging in the peach forest of Yuzhennv Guanguan. She remembered that when everyone was praising her clothes, two strange eyes suddenly came from her side , that gaze was extremely cold, clearly full of hatred for her.
If this person is the same as the person who arranged it last night, then this person's hostility towards her will not only last for a day or two.
She suddenly had a thought, could her death in the previous life be related to this person? No, these three people are all wives from aristocratic families, how could they have anything to do with the gang of black-cloaked people raised by Haoyue Sanren.
Or... Her eyes trembled, the man in black cloak who killed her in the previous life was a woman? !
I remember Grandpa said that this kind of black cloak is very good for covering up the appearance, because it is extremely wide, and you only need to wear high boots inside to increase your height, and put something on your shoulders to make your figure look burly... So that man When doing it, they are so afraid that their master and servant will recognize themselves.
Are you an acquaintance?
Very well, the clues seem to be getting clearer. She had been repelling going to study in Xiangxiang Academy before, but at this moment she was suddenly shaken.
Perhaps, studying in Xiangxiang Academy is an opportunity to find the truth. No matter why this person wants to harm her, when he enters Xiangxiang Academy to study, he will definitely attack frequently,
It's easy to say if you are willing to do it, but she is worried that the other party has no flaws.
Du Tinglan saw that her younger sister was only in a daze, so she couldn't help pushing her arm. Teng Yuyi smiled slightly, raised her eyes and said to Du Tinglan: "Sister, didn't I say that I didn't want to enter Xiangxiang Academy yesterday? Now I suddenly look forward to entering the academy. I'm studying."
***
Albatron View.
Song Jian's body was placed in front of the hall, covered with a black square cloth.
There is a case in front of the corpse, on which Jiang Zhenniang's birth date is enshrined, and on both sides of the case there are banners calling for souls.
As soon as the wind blows, the banner moves, but the smoke in the incense burner remains motionless, and the three wisps of green smoke go straight to the sky.
Juesheng and Qizhi sprinkled Zhichai powder in the courtyard, ran back to the well and said to Lin Chengyou, "Brother, it's done."
Lin Chengyou said lightly: "Remember to protect the formation."
"Yes."
Lin Chengyou used cinnabar to draw the "Xuanmen's Gate" in front of the well, shook out the silver chain from his sleeve, and cast a spell to turn it into a long sword.
At the same time, a very thin red thread flew out of the scripture hall. Juesheng and Qizhi stepped forward to grab the red thread and tied it around the mouth of the well.
They knew that this time, it was the same as the last time they helped Mrs. An Guogong's soul, and it was still a saint who helped to assist the formation.
Originally, the master wanted to lead the battle to summon souls, but putting together remnants of souls would damage one's own cultivation. The old man is already old, and both the saint and the senior brother firmly refused to allow Qing Xuzi to intervene in this matter. In the end, the saint came from the palace Come out to help protect the formation.
However, the master is not idle, the senior brother and the sage lined up one outside and one inside, and the old man guarded the scripture hall.
After making all the preparations, Lin Chengyou swung a talisman and hit the Xuanmin Gate on the ground. Don't you come back?"
Before the words were finished, the dome above the courtyard suddenly went dark, and the dark wind came from all directions.
Juesheng and Qizhi's hearts were pounding. As soon as the door of Xuanmin was opened, the plenum of ghosts gathered here continuously. In order to find out Jiang Zhenniang who was mixed in in time, they couldn't slack off for a moment.
This call for souls lasted from early morning to afternoon, and the footprints of all kinds of ghosts were covered on the Zhichai powder in the yard, but Jiang Zhenniang's soul did not appear for a long time.
Juesheng and Qizhi were exhausted and out of breath in order to drive away the ghosts that came without warning.
At the end of the stalemate, Lin Chengyou was already sweating profusely, and Qing Xuzi could only pace anxiously in the sutra hall because he couldn't intervene temporarily.
At the end, Juesheng and Qizhi were a little discouraged. Jiang Zhenniang was killed four years ago and her soul was lost. Seeing that the senior brother still perseveres in the main formation, such a large formation is the most exhausting, but the senior brother does not mean to be discouraged in the slightest.
Juesheng and Qizhi looked at the senior brother silently. No matter what happened, the senior brother never seemed to back down. Thinking of this, he cheered up and continued to help identify the ghosts.
Another hour passed like this, and Lin Chengyou's clothes were soaked in sweat, but he still insisted on it. Since he agreed to Song Jian, he had no intention of giving up halfway. stop.
Suddenly the door was opened, and a lot of messy footprints fell on the Zhichai powder, and it seemed that a large number of wandering spirits had been attracted.
Lin Chengyou still didn't hear the bell ringing on the red line. He didn't expect to report, but he heard the master say in the scripture hall: "Here we come!"
Lin Chengyou was secretly surprised, the bell and the talisman on the case did not ring, how did the master know that Jiang Zhenniang's soul was coming, and his heart moved, could it be——
He turned his head to look at Song Jian's corpse with difficulty, and he knew the answer at a glance.
In Song Jian's eyes that had been open all the time, a line of tears suddenly flowed out.
Turning back in astonishment, he saw a ghostly figure swaying towards Song Jian's corpse.
Song Jian's face was very quiet, and the line of tears trickled down his cheeks until they dripped onto the collar and disappeared into the fabric.
Lin Chengyou was a little moved.
As soon as the ghost figure approached, the bell on the red line began to vibrate, and at the same time, the paper figurine with Jiang Zhenniang's birth date written on the case suddenly stood up.
The wandering soul floated close to Song Jian's corpse, and suddenly let out a low sobbing sound. Then, a sigh was heard in the darkness, and another ghost floated down from the coffin, shadowily approaching Jiang Zhenniang's soul, and He hugged him into his arms, and the two wandering souls cuddled up to each other, as if fused into one.
***
The saint has been escorted back to the palace by the imperial guards, Juesheng and Qizhi are still crying.
They didn't know why they were crying, but they just thought of the scene just now and felt sad.
Lin Chengyou didn't seem to hear the cries of his junior brother, so he put away the formation and leaned on the railing of the veranda to himself, fiddled with the jade flute carelessly, with a thoughtful face.
Qing Xuzi packed up and came out, raised his voice and asked his two disciples and grandchildren: "Have you cried enough?"
Juesheng and Qizhi ran in front of the master, and said with a thud: "...disciples...the disciples think that Song Shizi and Jiang Zhenniang are too bitter, master...they obviously did nothing wrong... ...such a loving couple...why can't they grow old forever."
Crying out of breath.
Looking at the tearful eyes of the two little disciples, Sun Qingliang, Qing Xuzi sighed: "Don't you understand? Now, the fate of the husband and wife has been broken in this life, at least they can plan for another life."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Chengyou, who was dazed over there, and said if he had something to say: "Look, even if it's four years apart, even if Jiang Zhenniang is only a frail soul, Song Jian can recognize himself from a bunch of wandering souls at a glance." wife. If you don’t have such an obsession, you may not even get the next life, because love is stronger than gold, and all difficulties and dangers are out of the question.”
Lin Chengyou seemed to be touched, his eyes fluttered slightly, and when he looked up again, the master had already arrived.
Reminiscing about the unfeeling Gu, Qing Xuzi secretly sighed in his heart, brat, this time he should understand what the word "love" is, is it suffering? Are you scared?
When he raised his hand, he shuddered: "You can be depressed."
Depressed? Lin Chengyou tilted his head back, wondering how to make Teng Yuyi fall in love with him.
He smiled and said: "Master, please be merciful, it hurts."
Daozhang Qingxuzi was taken aback for a moment, and then he snorted heavily: "It seems that I still haven't suffered enough."
Lin Chengyou thought to himself, yesterday's birthday was bitter enough for him.
But after a hard night, he cheered up again in the morning. It's just that Teng Yuyi hasn't been tempted by him yet. Now that I think about it, it's not like the sky is falling. You know, this time he met the best man in the world. Little lady, it's unthinkable to give up just like that.
It's just that this matter is a brand new problem for him. He has never pleased the little lady before. As soon as he was free, he thought about how to ask the Pope's aunt.
Seeing that the master had packed up, he stood up and said, "Have you packed up? Then let's go into the palace."
Qing Xuzi tensed his face: "Since you are not depressed anymore, don't play the flute at night, Shigong was almost killed by your noise last night, let's go, don't keep your uncle and the others waiting for a long time , it just so happens that Master also has something to discuss with your uncle."
