Capture the Jade:

If someone bumps them into hiding here, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding, so just hiding is not enough, Lin Chengyou also signaled Teng Yuyi to hold her breath with the inner strength method he taught her.

Teng Yuyi followed suit. The peach blossom swordsmanship taught by Lin Chengyou is said to have been created by a founder of Daoist Zhongnan Mountain. She felt that the real energy in her body was surging, and whether it was practicing or holding her breath, it was much easier than ordinary people.

The two hid silently behind a tree.

There are two people coming, one in front and one behind.

The man in front is a man who practiced martial arts, and his steps are light and steady.

The one behind is a woman.

‌As soon as we approached the front, the man in front stopped, searched around and did not hear any obvious human voices, and said in a low voice: "This place is still relatively clean, let me say a few words to you Just leave."

The woman said: "If you have something to say, please speak up. If you leave the table for a long time, it's time for my younger sister to find me."

Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou were taken aback for a moment, it was Li Zi and Du Tinglan. If I had known it was them, I might as well have greeted them directly. Now it’s okay, it’s not about hiding, it’s not about not hiding.

Zizi said in a low voice, "Have you read the letter I sent someone?"

Du Tinglan was silent: "It hasn't been dismantled yet."

Zi Yizhi: "You always avoid me in every possible way. Is it because you look down on me, or do you have other concerns?"

Du Tinglan's voice was a little trembling, I don't know if it was fear or embarrassment: "Your Majesty has said that. Your Highness is a dragon and a phoenix, with a kind heart, and my courtiers have only admiration and respect for your son. Come and see I can't say more."

"Then why are you refusing to accept my gift, and refusing to go out with me? Are you afraid that I am not sincere to you? Do you know that it has not been a day or two since I have a good impression of you? , A Niang, she also likes you."

Du Tinglan panicked and said: "Thanks to the wrong love between the Queen and His Highness, how dare the minister—"

After a while, Du Tinglan seemed to have calmed down a bit: "Boldly ask Your Highness, Your Highness has only met the courtier's daughter a few times, and even the courtier's daughter's temperament is not very clear, why just think of me. "

Zizi seems to understand a little bit: "Are you worried that I am just a whim to you?"

Du Tinglan didn't say a word, but there was a soft stubbornness in the silence.

Zizi was dumb for a moment, then laughed in a low voice: "You look cute like this. I like it."

Du Tinglan's breath became more and more disordered, but she still insisted on saying: "Your Highness, please seriously... answer the question of my daughter."

He paused for a moment, and his tone became unusually solemn: "Don't worry, I don't care about you on a whim. There are some things I don't want to say out loud, but since you want to ask, I'll go into details Tell you.

"The first time you were in Le Dao Mountain Villa, your beautiful heart and beautiful words certainly made people like you, but I know that there are many people in this world who are clean in words and deeds, and few people are consistent in appearance and inward, so that time I just knew You are Du Gong's daughter-in-law, so I didn't pay much attention to you. As a result, every time I met you after that, you always impress people. Return it to someone else. On Lishan Mountain, you were the first to go back to help the injured peasant woman. On the night of the Buddha Bathing Festival, your younger brother accidentally stepped on the foot of an old woman. This pair of grandparents and grandchildren. Your sister had an accident, and you cried until your nose was red and your eyes were swollen. Your sister took refuge in Dayin Temple, and you stayed with her in the temple despite the danger. Not only did you treat people with sincerity, but also the friendship between sisters. It's touching, although I haven't dealt with you directly, but I can see all these things, some people want to distance themselves more and more, while some people get more and more in love with you, you have a soft heart, and you live up to your name."

"That time when Ah Da didn't tell you the truth about Lu Zhaoan's use of black voodoo to you, you asked him to tell me all these things, saying that Grandpa taught you to be an upright person, and advised me to give up as soon as possible. Later, you learned that Lu Zhaoan used Gu to harm people. Because he was afraid that he would harm other women again, he was not afraid of damaging his own reputation, so he took the initiative to testify in Dali Temple. After I figured out the ins and outs, I said no to you I feel sorry for you, and after going through this incident, I know that you are not only pure in heart, but also resolute and courageous."

Du Tinglan was speechless.

"Do you still think I'm acting on a whim? You think that I only caught you a few times, but I already know how good you are in my heart, otherwise why would I ask you to be a concubine? "The son's voice is getting lower and lower.

Du Tinglan moved in a panic, and then the sound of footsteps stopped again. She didn't know if she was held by the wife, or was pulled into her arms by the wife.

Teng Yuyi heard the sound of the cloth being rubbed, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Then she peeked at the side, and Lin Chengyou's ears turned red.

Lin Chengyou frowned and closed his eyes, complaining incessantly.

Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, Ah Qi would confess his love to Du Tinglan.

It so happened that he was with Teng Yuyi again.

Going out after this will only embarrass both parties, so they have no choice but to stand up.

Fortunately, the two quickly broke up again, and Du Tinglan struggled and said, "I...I have to go."

The son seemed to grab Du Tinglan again: "Are you leaving the house tomorrow?"

Du Tinglan didn't speak, but her low and disordered breathing showed that she was in a state of confusion.

Zizi seemed a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "That time I heard people say that if a man loves a woman, he will try his best to stay with her, in order to get up On the one hand, I don't hesitate to come up with many poor excuses, and I won't be bothered to make excuses like I used to in the future, I just want to slap you more."

Lin Chengyou's ears exploded, what is called a guilty conscience, this moment is a lesson learned. These words sounded a bit like talking about him, subconsciously glanced at Teng Yuyi, Teng Yuyi raised her head to watch the moonlight above her head, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Chengyou scolded his son in his heart, and confessed his feelings, so what is he doing? What a "poor excuse", his excuses have always been aboveboard.

Until Chizi and Du Tinglan left, the atmosphere behind the tree was still indescribably weird.

In the end, it was Lin Chengyou who spoke first: "... Catching monsters is a big deal, remember to start early tomorrow."

‌A righteous and stern tone.

Teng Yuyi didn't look up to admire the moonlight this time, but seriously watched a cluster of hosta flowers with bright pistils over there. When Lin Chengyou said that, she let out an oh.

How do you know someone is coming at the end.

Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi glanced at each other quickly, and had to hide back.

This is a group of people who came back. In front are two ladies, followed by many maidservants.

Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi slandered at the same time: Why is it endless.

Then, he held his breath even more.

They both knew the two wives, one was the wife of Liu Guying, Minister of the Household Department, and the other was Lin Anhou's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin.

The two seemed a little drunk, and sighed as they walked: "It's hot inside, but it's still cool inside, this place is quiet, let's take a rest here, eh, I just asked about the imperial court at the banquet The children of Xiangxiang Academy pointed out their marriage, why are you winking at me so hard?"

It was Mrs. Lin who said this.

Madam Liu said: "I just saw that you brought up Chun'an County King, and I was afraid that you would be offended, so I kindly changed the topic for you."

Ms. Lin laughed in surprise: "This story starts from the beginning. The world knows that the Chun'an County King has not yet married a wife. In the past, many people wanted to marry His Highness the County King, but it is a pity that the County King refused all of them. Speaking of which, His Highness is in his twenties, and has never been engaged. It is expected that he is a lady in Chang'an City. My mother-in-law's niece is different. She was born in Fanyang Lu's family. She only came to Chang'an at the beginning of the year. The painting and calligraphy are all outstanding, you can also see their appearance, like a lotus in the water, they are younger now, but they will be old next year, if you ask His Royal Highness to take a look at it, maybe you will catch it at a glance, I said Let this child enter Xiangxiang Academy next year to study, nothing more than wanting to be a matchmaker."

Ms. Liu smiled and said: "You and I have been friends since we were young, and some things are just for you to listen to. You should dispel this idea. I heard from the master that His Royal Highness probably has a lover. His Royal Highness the previous day I was still inquiring before the imperial court how the princes of the clan are going to do the marriage, maybe in a few days they will directly ask for the decree, it really means marriage, how can I wait until next year."

Lin Chengyou was startled, and blamed him for being so busy investigating the case these days that he didn't know that the emperor's uncle had a lover.

Teng Yuyi was also surprised.

Madam Lin smiled and asked: "Which lady does the king of the county have a crush on?"

"I don't know, I guess it's the daughter-in-law of a certain local official, maybe she just came to Chang'an not long ago, otherwise His Royal Highness the Prince of the County has not moved before. Some people say that it may be the daughter-in-law of General Teng , because among the daughters of local officials who came to court this year, this child is the one with the most outstanding talent and appearance. Last time I met a big evil in Yuzhen Nuguan, I heard that this child brought his companions For those who escaped, His Royal Highness, a fairy-like figure, is expected to be looked down upon by ordinary women."

Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, these words were spread outrageously.

It's not surprising that the family members pay attention to these matters. The marriage of the royal family's children is related to the previous dynasty.

At this moment, a maid came looking for her, and Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin left.

Teng Yuyi turned her head, only to realize that Lin Chengyou's face was ugly.

Lin Chengyou's face was ugly and ugly, fearing that there would be a third wave of people coming, he glanced at Teng Yuyi, quickly loosened his brows, said "Remember to come out early tomorrow", and walked away to the other side.

***

The next day, Teng Yuyi didn't sleep in, and got up early in the morning.

After combing her hair into a bun and changing her Taoist robe, she sat down in front of the dressing table and meticulously pasted the mask sent by Cheng Bo on her face.

After pasting it, she looked around in the mirror, and there was a completely unfamiliar face in the mirror. Except for the eyes and lips, which were her own, other parts were far from her own facial features. She frowned and said to Chun Rong and Bi Luo: "Ask Cheng Bo, this face is a bit ugly, can you change it to a prettier one?"

Chunrong and Biluo were stunned, they used to change their appearances just to avoid being recognized by others, how can they pick on the beauty and ugliness of the masks today.

Biluo said helplessly, "My maidservant, go and ask."

After a while, Biluo returned to the house with a few masks in his hands: "Cheng Bo said he still has a few more, but they are not very good-looking. If Yi Rong makes it beautiful, it should attract the attention of others." , the lady is not going out for a banquet today, why do you still care about beauty and ugliness, just use this, at least it is inconspicuous."

Teng Yuyi propped up one side of her face, and looked at the person in the mirror impatiently. Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be a bit vexatious. This weird thought: "Okay."

After dressing up, Teng Yuyi asked Duanfu to change his appearance, while he sat by the window and wiped the Xiaoya sword carefully. After cleaning, he was about to have breakfast. Cheng Bo said: "The Prince Cheng is here."

Cheng Bo's tone was a little hesitant, and after a long time of trouble, the lady was going out with the son of Prince Tongcheng.

When Teng Yuyi heard this, he couldn't even think about eating, so he took Duanfu out without saying a word. Lin Chengyou repeatedly emphasized yesterday that he should leave early, maybe he has other arrangements after returning to the city.

As soon as I went out, I saw Lin Chengyou riding a horse waiting at the door.

The sky was still faintly blue, and Lin Chengyou was dressed in a golden crown, his body contours seemed to be coated with a layer of gold by the morning sun, behind him was the calf cart of Qingyun Temple, and even the driver was ready-made.

"Get in the car." Lin Chengyou took a look at Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi responded happily, let Duanfu and the coachman of Qingyun Temple sit on the back of the car, lifted the curtain and got on the car.

At the entrance of the alley, after a short walk in the direction of the city, you will arrive at Yinchun Alley, and in front of it is a famous restaurant in Chang'an.

Lin Chengyou reined in and reined in the horse: "I haven't had breakfast yet, let's go after eating something."

Teng Yuyi smelled the aroma wafting from the alley, and then realized that she didn't have time for breakfast when she came out, so she said in the car: "Okay."

Lin Chengyou seems to be familiar with these restaurants in the streets and alleys, and the master warmly greeted him as soon as he saw him: "The prince is here. This is——"

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "The newly recruited junior brother of Qingyun Temple, just call her Wuwei."

Teng Yuyi put on a show and saluted: "The poor Taoist is the leader."

The lord is so enthusiastic: "The Taoist priest please come inside."

"Do you want to eat sweet or salty?" Lin Chengyou turned around and asked Teng Yuyi.

Teng Yuyi thought for a while: "Sweet."

Lin Chengyou asked the owner to make four servings and present them, two for Duanfu and the driver at the store, and two for the table, and his own one was filled with crab roe and smallpox What Teng Yuyi likes is the cherry porridge topped with cheese.

The two sat at the table by the window, and sat and had a meal quietly.

Teng Yuyi is satisfied with the taste of this feast. Lin Chengyou often walks around the streets in order to handle cases. When he is hungry, he buys some food on the street to fill his stomach. When it comes to finding food, I am afraid that there are not many places in Chang'an City. People are better than him.

Lin Chengyou finished his meal almost, and cleaned his hands with a towel. Seeing that Teng Yuyi was still tasting slowly, he waited patiently.

When she finishes eating, ask, "Are you full?"

Teng Yuyi cleaned his hands, pointed to the window and asked, "Is there any other food nearby? There won't be so many restaurants when we leave the city, why don't we buy something else and go on the road."

Lin Chengyou smiled, this idea is not bad, if it were him, he might be too lazy to talk about it. After thinking about it, he got up and said, "Okay, come with me."

Turning Teng Yuyi around, she soon bought a lot of things, all of which are famous nearby. I bought several cakes and a flame lamp A mouthful of pancakes, a portion of golden corn pancakes, pork vinegar, fish sticks, and various preserved fruits...all of them are easy to carry and full of dry food.

"Will you buy too much meat?" Teng Yuyi asked Lin Chengyou, at first she was eager to taste everything, and even she felt bad after buying it.

Looking at the pile of food boxes, Lin Chengyou pondered and said, "It's almost there now. You hide the few you like the most in the car, and let Duanfu take the rest."

Teng Yuyi snorted, "Why hide it?"

"You'll know later, let's go and buy wine." Lin Chengyou took Teng Yuyi to a shop called Baiyi Liquor Shop, and asked the owner to send out a bag of wine. , picked up the wine bag and unscrewed the bottle, making a gesture for Teng Yu to hear.

"Smell."

Teng Yuyi took a sniff, his face was full of surprise: "Boluo wine?"

Lin Chengyou's eyes were full of smiles, and he knew that Teng Yuyi would like it.

"Like ‌?"

Teng Yuyi was full of praise: "Good wine, good wine."

She admired Lin Chengyou so much, this wine shop is so inconspicuous, who would have thought that there is such a master wine brewer hidden in it, the aroma is as clear as snow, no worse than that brewed by Liang Yin Shu.

She asked the price enthusiastically, but she didn't expect it to be expensive. Lin Chengyou asked the master to send out ten pouches, paid for the wine bill, and turned to Teng Yuyi, "Can I buy anything else?"

Teng Yuyi was satisfied: "Enough is enough."

Lin Chengyou got on his horse and said, "Let's go on the road."

With Teng Yuyi, he went straight to the entrance of the city, exited the Yanping Gate, and walked for a while, and an abandoned village appeared at the end of the road not far away.

Teng Yuyi looked in through the curtain, and there were actually five old Taoist priests riding on little donkeys waiting by the side of the road.

"Five ways?"

"My son." He jumped off the donkey and led his juniors to welcome him.

Lin Chengyou said to Teng Yuyi in the car: "Get out of the car."

Teng Yuyi got out of the car and took a look. Even Xixi and Lele were here. They hadn't come out for a long time since they were injured by the corpse in Caifenglou. It seems that the wounds are healing well. Red-faced.

Lin Chengyou should have greeted her in advance. Wu Dao was not surprised to see Teng Yuyi, walked up and down, looked her up and down, and greeted cheerfully: "Master Wuwei."

Teng Yuyi returned the gift with a smile: "Junior, Masters."

Lu Xi looked at Teng Yuyi ambiguously, and then at Lin Chengyou: "A few days ago, I was looking for the prince, and the prince only said that he was not free, but today is quite free, and he even took a whole day to go to the city." Come to fight monsters."

The air was silent, and Lin Chengyou looked at Xixi with a half-smile. It wasn't because Juesheng and Qizhi were not there, but Teng Yuyi didn't have enough mana, and he didn't bother to bring these five old old men with him. , He smiled slightly, and then turned back the words, fearing that his junior brother would be embarrassed, he replied first: "The day before yesterday is the day before yesterday, and today is today. The son has his own arrangements. Let's go, don't be verbose, and finish the fight." Let's go back to the city earlier."

It took Teng Yuyi a while to realize that Lin Chengyou bought so much food for him, probably because he thought it was noisy, so he bought some food in advance, so he could stuff their mouths with something at the right time .

When I thought about it, I heard Lin Chengyou say: "Wuwei, take the dry food you brought to the Taoist priests."

Teng Yuyi waved Duanfu to bring the food box back, and thoughtfully said to everyone: "It's a waste of time to catch demons, Taoist priests just hide the dry food in their bosoms, and take it in their hands when they are hungry Eat."

Wu Dao huddled around in front of Duanfu, because they were busy buying dry food, they immediately became quieter, and after finishing their work, the group set off.

The village ahead is barren and overgrown with smoke and grass, and there is a faint gloomy atmosphere.

"Yesterday, a fellow Taoist found traces of evil things here, and he didn't dare to look inside. The evil spirit is like this, most likely it is a chi outline."

Lin Chengyou looked at the village quietly, shook out the silver chain in his hand to turn it into a long sword, and told Teng Yuyi: "This place is not quite right, remember to follow me later, no matter what happens, don't Run away."

Teng Yuyi nodded cautiously, drew his sword out of its sheath and followed Lin Chengyou, and asked Duan Fu to confirm whether the pouch around his neck was intact. Daoist Master Qingxuzi painted it himself, and its magic power is comparable to that of ordinary talismans.

Tianbian walked and said: "By the way, my son, a few days ago, in order to find the ruler, the city was all set up in the city. Recently, so many Taoists have been sent out of the city on time for inspection. ?”

Teng Yuyi's heart moved. Last time, Wu Qi said that Master Jingchen said that there would be a "big disaster" in Chang'an soon. It seems that Lin Chengyou not only took this to heart, but also started to investigate this so-called "big disaster". What is "disaster".

Lin Chengyou said unhurriedly: "Don't you think the appearance of Chikou is weird? This thing is formed by the evil spirit between heaven and earth. It would not appear in a troubled world, but it is a prosperous age right now. Nai He Shixie was suppressed by the formation a hundred years ago, and it is not surprising that he was released by the group of Haoyue Sanren, but Chiguo is a soulless thing, which cannot be manipulated, let alone suppressed by the formation. Appearing suddenly, it only means that there is a vision between heaven and earth."

‌Le Wenyan raised his head and looked at the sky: "The sky is a bit weird recently, but what's wrong with it, I won't be able to tell for a while. By the way, the "Demon Code" says that there are also ruler profiles. Foreshadowing disasters, their appearance may not necessarily correspond to the present, but may refer to the future."

Teng Yuyi said in his heart, this doesn't make much sense, the outline of the ruler was originally nothingness, but it was born of the evil spirit of the weather, and so many appeared at once, which shows that the evil spirit has existed for a long time.

Obviously, Lin Chengyou didn't agree with Mao Le's statement, but he didn't refute it. He just said: "Recently, when seniors patrolled the city, apart from the outline of the ruler, they also saw that there was something wrong with it. Common evils? For example... the five strange ghosts that only appear in troubled times."

Wu Dao shook his head one after another: "I've never heard of this, why is your son asking this?"

Lin Chengyou was thoughtful, and as he spoke, he stepped into the gate of the village. The coolness in the air became stronger and stronger. It was a sunny day, but the surroundings were foggy. Walking in it, you will get lost within a few steps direction.

Teng Yuyi tried her best to open her eyes in order to identify the direction. Suddenly, she heard the silver chain making a sound, and something struck her in the fog and tied her waist. Then the silver chain quickly moved back, following the trend. He also **** Duanfu.

Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Dao seemed to realize that something was wrong: "This doesn't look like a boundary barrier, this fog... it looks a bit like..."

Before the words were finished, something happened behind him. From the running back, a woman's laughter came from the fog. The laughter was surprisingly soft and charming.

Five strange voices shouted: "Seven Desires!"

Lin Chengyou's expression was strange, and he pulled Teng Yuyi to his side, took two steps back, pulled her and ran in: "This monster can't be beaten, let's go."

Teng Yuyi ran along confusedly: "Run without even hitting? No, brother, didn't you say that there are no monsters in this world that you can't fight."

"It also depends on what the situation is not." Lin Chengyou was eloquent.

Yingtian and others yelled strangely: "Wuwei, listen to your senior brother, it's fine if I didn't bring you out today, but I can't fight if you are here, think about it. Yutian, it likes to bewitch young men and women the most—you don’t want to be bewitched at the same time as your senior brother...just listen to your senior brother.”

Teng Yuyi opened her mouth, listening to this meaning, could it be that the evil thing in the fog is not serious?

At this moment, Duan Fu seemed to have hit a wall in the fog. The object was so strong that it sent him flying backwards. Fortunately, he was tied with a silver chain, otherwise he would have Just disappeared into the mist.

With a flick of the silver chain, Lin Chengyou forcibly pulled Duan Fu back, but suddenly he heard a scream from Lu Xi, who was apparently also bounced back by the wall.

"It's over, it's over, we can't run away." Mao Le shouted.
