Capture the Jade:

The hall was surprisingly silent, heavy breathing came and went, and someone screamed, which immediately caused countless screams.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, dead."

"Help, run away!"

Actors and women pushed each other and fled like headless chickens. In the chaos, there was only a sound of slapping, and the officials drew their knives to block the door.

Lin Chengyou sternly shouted: "If you dare to act recklessly, you will be punished as causing trouble. If you are not afraid of being punished by the rod, take a step forward and try!"

Everyone shivered and shrank back.

Yan Sizhi hurried to Lin Chengyou's side to inspect Yao Huang. He reached under his nose and neck and felt his pulse.

Lin Chengyou's complexion was not much better: "It looks like a rotten heart grass, it's too late to save it."

The chill in his eyes was chilling, he raised his head to look at the crowd as he spoke, his gaze swept from left to right one by one, as if he wanted to imprint everyone's expression into his eyes.

"Everyone stay where they are, and don't move without a body search."

People came to Dali Temple very quickly, because most of the people in the Caifenglou were women, this time, in addition to the customary office workers in the yamen, two other clerks who specialize in women's body searches came, and called the people in the hall one by one to search , but found nothing.

When it was Teng Yuyi's turn, Teng Yuyi took the initiative to hand over the machine in the belt. According to her, the perpetrator was in the hall. If she wanted to find the perpetrator as soon as possible, she should fully cooperate with the search.

Aunt Wu Zuo was startled when she saw Ji Kuo, while keeping an eye on Teng Yuyi, she told the other aunt to report back to Lin Chengyou with her things.

Teng Yuyi has a clear conscience and waits quietly for Dali Temple to release him.

After Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi looked at it, they really asked Mrs. Wu Zuo to let Teng Yuyi go.

Teng Yuyi took the machine calmly. Although there are hidden weapons and poisons hidden in it, the toxicity is not fatal. Although Lin Chengyou likes to fight her, he is not stupid at all. He can distinguish all kinds of poisons. You should also know your priorities. The real murderer has not yet appeared, no matter how boring he is, he will not make things difficult for others at this moment.

But there is always a lot of poison inside, and she was vaguely worried that Lin Chengyou would confiscate it, but when she opened the machine, she found that everything was in place.

She wondered, these hidden weapons are extremely tricky and insidious. Lin Chengyou suffered a loss last time. She had already guessed that it was because of this pile of things that he decided that she was not a good person, but she only wanted to be in danger. If you can protect yourself from time to time, how can you care so much.

Tonight, he only checked the hidden weapons but confiscated her medicine powder, which is really strange. Could it be that he was busy investigating the murderer and couldn't make a move for a while.

After the autopsy, it was found that Yao Huang died of poisoning, and the poisonous needle was inserted into the back of the corpse, which was exactly what Lin Chengyou called "rotten heart grass".

This medicine came from Dashi Kingdom decades ago. It takes more than half an hour from poisoning to poisoning. , and there is no cure, it was once listed as a banned drug, and it was searched and banned several times, but now it is not very common in Fanglu.

After Yan Sizhi listened to Wu's report, he turned to look at Lin Chengyou in astonishment: "Half an hour? Didn't the murderer have already started before Yao Huang confessed? At that time, Ge Jin was arrested for assassinating in Wei Zifang, it was Caifeng When the building is the most chaotic, according to this, everyone in the building is suspicious."

Lin Chengyou leaned over and looked at the poisonous needle: "The rotten heart grass has the effect of paralyzing the body and skin. This needle is as thin as a hair, and it is painless when it is nailed to the skin, so Yao Huang didn't find out that he died. There is something strange about him. The murderer knew about the relationship between Yao Huang and Qingzhi before us, and he might have had the intention to kill him long ago, just in time for Ge Jin and Wei Zi to come out tonight, so they will not attract attention when they take advantage of the chaos."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the crowd, the murderer was more cautious and decisive than he thought, he never thought that there was such a talent hidden in such a small Caifenglou.

At this time, the yamen servant came back and reported: "Everyone's room has been searched, and neither rotten grass nor related murder objects have been found."

Lin Chengyou said: "The poisonous needle is extremely sharp. The murderer can't put it in his sleeve alone. I guess there is something wrapped outside. From Hongxiangyuan to the front building, there are rockeries and flowers and plants along the road. It may be discarded on the road, you can go to the places I mentioned and look for it.”

Yan Sizhi has always been gentle and careful. After Lin Chengyou finished speaking, he earnestly told all the officials: "That thing is highly poisonous, and there is no cure for it. Be careful when you search for it."

Dawn was found after this search. The yamen servants searched every corner, but still did not find anything suspicious,

The people in the hall have been searched, and those who should be interrogated have also been interrogated, so Lin Chengyou handed over the front building to Yan Sizhi, and went to the back to search by himself.

When the yamen servants found the garden at the back, it happened that Juesheng and Qizhi crawled out from under the incense table in the small Buddhist hall. Their eyes were full of dust. They cleaned it all night, and when they came out, it had turned to ashes. people.

The yamen servants were startled when they saw two fat, gray things coming out of the ground. After seeing that they were two children, they arrested them as thieves.

Juesheng and Qizhi stayed in the eyes of the formation all night, not knowing what happened in the front building, they just struggled with their necks: "Masters, you have arrested the wrong person, we are not bad people, we belong to Qingyunguan Taoist."

Several yamen servants were called here temporarily to run errands, and they didn't know much about the recent events in Caifeng Tower: "Hey, how dare you pretend to be the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple?"

After pushing and shoving to the vicinity of Hongxiangyuan, Juesheng looked up and saw Lin Chengyou, and hurriedly called out: "Brother! Help us quickly."

Lin Chengyou squatted halfway in front of a peony bush, holding a long sword in his hand. Junior brother, let them go quickly."

Juesheng and Qizhi ran to Lin Chengyou and looked around in surprise.

"Brother, what happened, why are there so many people here?"

Lin Chengyou used his scabbard to poke the soil on his own, and when he abandoned his wits and looked closely, it turned out to be an earthworm hole.

The two began to roll up their sleeves: "Brother, are you looking for something? We can also help."

Lin Chengyou raised his sword to block their arms: "Don't touch them randomly. There are dewdrops on these grass mustards. If the poisonous powder of the rotten heart grass melts into the water, it will stick to the mouth of the hand with a little touch. With this thing The toxicity is enough for you to suffer."

The official pulled Juesheng Qizhi aside: "Two priests, wait a moment. Another life was killed in Caifenglou last night. Lin Pingshi is looking for evidence."

"Human life? Who happened?"

"The one named Yao Huang is a lady."

The two took a deep breath, and all the yamen servants came back and replied: "Your Majesty, Yao Huang and Wei Zi's rooms have been searched, and there is no needle hidden."

Lin Chengyou groaned, got up and walked to the nearby small pool, tucked the corner of his robe into the jade belt around his waist, and stepped into the pool.

The green water in the pool rippled faintly, submerging his knees in an instant.

The officials were so nervous that they didn't dare to speak out. The son of Prince Cheng passed the examinations of Mingjing and Zhiju by his own ability last year, and was appointed by the emperor to serve in Dali Temple. Nor did he dare to use him as a low-level official.

As they expected, Lin Chengyou did not change his stubborn temper after taking office, and all the newly appointed officials throughout the history worked hard, but Lin Chengyou often didn't even see anyone, and even if he went back to the Yasi Temple, he would not grow old. Honestly do business, either lying under the verandah of the east hall, or sleeping crookedly on a tree.

Whenever the minister of the temple asked about it, Lin Chengyou said that he was memorizing the code, and that the prison was too noisy, and he only remembered it when he was on the tree.

However, although this young man is a fool, whenever there is any strange case, he will definitely change his normal routine. There were several strange cases.

"Lin Pingshi, the water is no better than the shore, so be careful of being pricked by a poisonous needle." The official greeted in fear, and turned to the servants, "There must be a ditch under the pool, go find a craftsman to drain all the water in the pool .”

"It can't be released." Lin Chengyou took the small net from the shore and began to salvage inch by inch, "The poisonous needle is as thin as a hair, and it will float around when the water waves. In the ditch, the poisonous needle might be washed away with the current, and there will be no trace at that time, isn't it just the murderer's intention?"

The official looked ashamed, and raised his official robe as a gesture: "I don't think carefully. This pool is not small, but it is not big. Lin judges, you are alone. When you find it, we will wait for it. Go into the water and help."

But Lin Chengyou stopped and said: "You don't have the cultivation base to resist the rotten heart grass, you can be killed in an instant, let my two juniors help salvage it, and just find two net bags for them."

Juesheng and Qizhi got into the water in a hurry, the pool seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time, the water surface was full of dead flowers and fallen leaves, when the three of them stirred it up with a net, a strong strange smell permeated the air.

Juesheng and Qizhi quietly pinch their noses, the senior brothers are pure in nature, they will only be more disgusting than them.

As expected, Lin Chengyou raised his head and let out a sigh: "Good guy, if I smell it again, I won't have to eat for three days."

While speaking, he tore off a piece of the sleeve of the snow-white gown, tied it under the nose at the front, and tied a knot at the back.

The corners of the officials on the shore twitched, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Lin Chengyou has always been suave and unruly, and he has done more absurd actions than this. At first they made a fuss, but then they gradually got used to it.

The three of them scoured the pool carefully, but they couldn't find anything suspicious.

Lin Chengyou looked at the slightly rippling pool water, and for the first time there was a dazed expression on his face. According to the medicinal properties of Rotten Heart Grass, Yao Huang was poisoned during the period when Gejin and Wei Zi were entangled. The actors were all watching the fun outside Wei Zi's room, and Yao Huang was no exception.

The murderer mingled among them, taking advantage of the crowd.

After the incident, everyone was ordered to gather in the front building. In order not to arouse suspicion, the murderer would definitely throw away the utensils containing the poison needles on the way, and then the people in the building were trapped in the front building. I went back to deal with that thing, but why did I search the garden, but still didn't find anything suspicious.

The yamen servants were all a little frustrated: "That man must be holding a poisonous needle with his bare hands."

"But this is too risky. There is no cure for the poison of rotten heart grass. The murderer is not afraid of hurting others, but he is not afraid of poisoning himself to death?"

The two officials said: "Lin Pingshi, after searching for it in the middle of the night, I didn't even find an ant nest. If it was really here, I should have found it a long time ago. I think it is nothing more than a bamboo tube, a sachet, etc. Even if I find it It is impossible to identify who the murderer is, why bother in vain, it is better to forget."

Lin Chengyou tore off the cloth under his nose and stepped ashore.

Then he took off the boots and poured out the water inside to make sure there were no needles or anything like that, and then put the boots back on his feet.

"How can we just let it go like this? If Qingzhi and Yao Huang were killed by the same person, the needle hiding device is the only clue left by the murderer. If even this clue is ignored, don't try to catch this person Come out."

The Yamen servants hurriedly said: "Then my subordinate will look for it nearby."

Looking at the pool, Lin Chengyou was in a daze, and suddenly smiled: "But Liu Pingshi is right, if that thing was really lost on the way, it should have been found by now. Don't waste your energy here, we still missed it The most important one."

Everyone looked around in astonishment: "Where?"

The group of people returned to the front building, and Yan Sizhi rushed out to greet him: "Did you find it?"

"I didn't find it." Lin Chengyou quickly stepped into the hall, "So I'm back again."

Yan Sizhi was startled: "Will that thing fly?"

"I can't fly." Lin Chengyou walked straight towards the actors.

He Mingsheng, Eji and others were stunned, and the hem and sleeves of Lin Chengyou's robe were soaked, as if he had just crawled out of the water.

Teng Yuyi thought to herself, Lin Chengyou had indeed searched the water, but what she didn't expect was that he would go into the water himself without being too dirty to investigate the case.

Then why not keep looking? This is important evidence. If it were her, she would have to dig three feet to find things. Suddenly, I changed my mind, wait a minute, could it be——

If this is the case, the murderer is too courageous.

Lin Chengyou walked around the actor, and suddenly raised his voice: "Search."

The servants responded: "Yes."

Everyone panicked, they had already searched their bodies just now, not to mention their clothes and shoes, they didn't even leave their hair in a bun, they didn't think they were hiding on their bodies, why did they search again.

Soon a yamen servant said: "Lin Pingshi! I found it! It's stuffed under the table."

The man squatted on a sheet and looked up with his neck tilted. There are seven or eight such tea tables in the hall. During the banquet at night, the guests can either sit around the table or sit at separate tables.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi squatted down to take a look, and quickly picked the thing off with the hilt of their swords.

Everyone whispered in surprise, it was a small sachet.

Lin Chengyou said with a sarcasm: "It's really hidden in the hall."

Touching through the satin surface, there are estimated to be dozens of thin needles hidden inside, presumably buried in a thick pile of cloth, you only need to pierce the needle point of the poisonous needle into it, so even if you carry it close to your body, you don't have to worry about it I stuck myself.

"The murderer simply doesn't care about Dali Temple." Yan Sizhi's face darkened, "How did he hide it under the eyes of everyone... I remembered that there were two chaos in the hall. Lady Zi forced her to ask Miss Yao Huang, and the people in the hall were busy fighting and became a mess. Another time, Lady Yao Huang suddenly died of poison, and the actors rushed out... Could it be that time?"

Lin Chengyou glanced coldly at the crowd, everyone looked terrified and bewildered. But this is not surprising, this person is considered exhaustive, and it is absolutely impossible to show his feet at this time.

He is only a little strange, there are countless dark corners along the way to throw away this thing, and the murderer wants to hide the thing under the case under the eyes of everyone. I don't know whether this person is audacious or arrogant to the extreme.

If he hadn't come back suddenly, the thing would have returned to that person sooner or later. Everyone has been searched anyway, and no one would have thought of searching again. Feel free to take things away.

Lin Chengyou sniffed the sachet, but there was no scent at all. The satin surface was colorful, and the petals were woven with colored silver threads. The material was common brocade, but the embroidery was magnificent and skillful.

It is obviously a woman's thing to be so exquisite and delicate.

He thought coldly in his heart: So what if all the tricks are exhausted, since I have found the thing, the rest is out of your hands.

***

Yao Huang's body was quickly sent to Dali Temple, and the Caifeng Building was also turned upside down by Lin Chengyou. Unfortunately, the murderer was extremely cunning, and after a whole morning, he still had no clue.

After seeing noon, Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi planned to take the sachets to the fabric shop and the embroidery workshop to find clues. The stomach made a loud "gurgling" sound.

The two of them rubbed their stomachs. From midnight yesterday to noon today, they didn't even eat a piece of mustache. They didn't dare to ask for food for fear of being scolded by their seniors. They were dizzy and dizzy from hunger.

This behavior was rather indecent, and Lin Chengyou would have knocked his junior **** a normal day, but fortunately he was probably too busy listening to what Yan Sizhi had to say, so he didn't even turn his head.

Juesheng and Qizhi secretly looked at the Hu Bing shop on the side of the road as they walked. The senior brother was probably hungry too, and it was getting late.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou said that he would go to the fabric shop, so he temporarily turned to the Hu Si that he went back to last time. After he sat down, he asked the Hu man named He Mo to come out and asked him to make a few meals for himself.饠.

Jue Sheng Qi Zhi almost shed tears on the spot, the senior brother didn't say anything, but he still loved them in his heart.

Soon the pancakes and soup were on the table, and Qi Zhi enthusiastically stuffed Yan Sizhi into his hand. Only the bright side is banned, but there are still Hu people in Dashi, Uighur and other places who risk selling this drug at a high price in secret, covering Guanlong, Hezhong, Jianghuai and other roads. The clues are so complicated. Finding the murderer through this is simply as difficult as climbing the sky."

Lin Chengyou looked at Juesheng Qizhi and said, "Have you eaten enough? Take the food back to Caifenglou to eat, Yan Sizhi and I have something to discuss."

Juesheng and Qizhi happily said: "Brother, Yan Sizhi, take your time."

The two held Pinghu in their arms and ran away in a hurry.

Lin Chengyou cleaned up his hands and threw the towel aside: "Didn't Yan Sizhi find it strange? Since the murderer is a cautious person, why did he strike when Wudao and I were living in Caifenglou? The first time Although Sha Qingzhi is pretending to be a suicide, it is very easy to show his flaws. That person is sure that he will not show his flaws? Why don't we wait until we leave Caifeng Tower? At that time, He Mingsheng and others will not think too much about it, and just act as Qingzhi. Suicide, send it out and bury it."

Yan Sizhi raised the wine cup halfway and then put it down: "I'm also surprised about this. When we found out about the pair of gold armbands earlier, we all thought that Yao Huang killed his own sister. There was a dispute between the sisters because of interests. Conflict, Yao Huang was afraid that Qingzhi would expose the two's deeds openly, so he was eager to kill Qingzhi, but judging from what Yao Huang said before he died, Qingzhi didn't seem like she killed her..."

"Never mind anything else, it's a fact that Yao Huang doesn't know martial arts." Lin Chengyou popped a dzi bead from his sleeve and pinched it on his fingertips.

Yan Sizhi hurriedly said: "At that time, the son wanted to test whether Yao Huang knew martial arts?"

Lin Chengyou smiled: "You will know once you try it. Even if people are not afraid of death, they will instinctively protect their own eyeballs, but when I used it to kill Yao Huang's eyeballs, she didn't even have the minimum self-protection. Nothing. Yan Sizhi, do you still remember the holes in Qingzhi's clothes?"

"Naturally remember, it is precisely because of the discovery of these holes that you suspect that Qingzhi did not commit suicide. I remember you said that it was a trick."

"That's right, drag Qingzhi into the well like a marionette, and then pretend to commit suicide. The location of the needle hole is hidden, and it's hard to see the clue after being wet. If it wasn't for me, I was afraid of Qingzhi's death and corpse. It's related to evil, and I didn't expect to look carefully at the chest and abdomen of the corpse. As long as I look a little rough, these holes will be missed by me. A certain level of internal strength, but I tried it with Seth beads, and Yao Huang obviously doesn't have that ability."

"Who is the murderer?" Yan Sizhi sighed with emotion, "It can be seen that it was not a temporary idea. Such a powerful person should wait until you leave before doing anything."

Lin Chengyou stared at the amber nectar in the wine cup: "I guess for the murderer, Qingzhi has already reached the point of death. The murderer is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he can't wait for a few days."

"This..." Yan Si's eyes showed confusion, "Qingzhi is just a rough servant girl, and she doesn't have a lot of money in her hands, so she won't look for her if she wants money; Infringement. Could it be that the murderer has some deadly clues in Qingzhi's hands, but what kind of deadly secrets can make the murderer kill two people in a row."

Lin Chengyou dipped his teeth into the wine and drew a few strokes on the table: "Actually, there are several things that make people feel unbelievable. Qingzhi looks stupid, but in fact he is stubborn and cold. She also ate and drank as before, but she suddenly started to have nightmares a few days ago. I guess she was either given poison to confuse her mind, or she was disturbed in her heart. However, according to her autopsy, Qingzhi did not take poison in the first few days before her death. signs. This is strange, why a person who can be called a stubborn stone is suddenly so frightened that he has nightmares."

Yan Sizhi pondered: "Did Qingzhi feel so frightened when she realized that the murderer was planning to kill? Why didn't she tell Yao Huang about it? If she had told Yao Huang earlier, Yao Huang wouldn't have died without knowing who the murderer was." Who is it?"

"So this is the first problem that doesn't make sense." Lin Chengyou made two more gestures on the table, "Furthermore, before Yao Huang died, he said that Qingzhi's jewelry was not given by him, and no pearls or jade have been thrown in the building recently. Objects, then Qingzhi’s treasures are most likely given by the murderer. Qingzhi pinched someone’s handle and used it to blackmail. The other party first used money to win over and then killed the killer. But why did the murderer kill Yao Huang last night? Didn't you know the true relationship between Yao Huang and Qingzhi before?"

Yan Sizhi tapped his forehead with his fingers: "In my opinion, the murderer didn't know. If he had known earlier, with this person's method, he would have eliminated both of them that night. Why take another risk? Last night was full of dangers. The murderer I almost showed my feet several times, knowing that it was not a good time to do it, and the killing could only be a temporary intention."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "So this is the second problem I mentioned. Even if Qingzhi is cold-hearted, judging from her insistence on looking for her sister, at least she is sincere to her sister. It’s okay to be willing to reveal her relationship with Yao Huang in front of the murderer, but why did she also hide something in front of Yao Huang? It is because she kept the truth from both sides that Yao Huang was quite hindered afterwards.”

Yan Sizhi thought for a while, but had no idea, and finally smiled bitterly: "Is there a third problem?"

Lin Chengyou took out the sachet from his sleeve, and took a look at the tether. The poisonous needle had been wrapped in a wooden box and taken to Dali Temple, and the sachet was empty.

He played with the sachet: "The third thing, it's this sachet. Last night, the murderer took the risk of bringing the poisonous needle back to the lobby. Was it out of ego, or was there some compelling reason?"

Yan Sizhi thought for a while, reached out to take the sachet, and rubbed it along the pattern-like silver thread, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Last year, I investigated a case of no one in Xishi. The victim He was a butcher. After he died, he held a torn handkerchief tightly in his hand, and no one could tear it off. I guessed that the handkerchief was weird, so I took the remaining handkerchief to a nearby embroidery workshop, and guess what? , we found the murderer by the embroidery on the handkerchief. Chengyou, look at this sachet, the design and color are ingenious, and the stitches are also ingenious. If we start our investigation, we may be able to find something. Is the murderer also worried about this, so I took the risk of hiding the sachet under the case, and wanted to take it away quietly when no one was looking."

Lin Chengyou smiled when he heard the words: "I think so too, but the sachet belongs to the sachet, and there are poisonous needles hidden in it. The murderer refused to throw it away. The reason may be as Yan Sizhi said. But don't forget that there is another possibility, the poison of the rot heart grass is incurable, the murderer finally got the poison, and made the poisonous needle as thin as a hair, it can be said that killing people with it can be said to be invisible. Could it be the poisonous needle inside that this person is really reluctant to part with?"

Yan Sizhi's face suddenly changed: "You mean—the murderer will use this poisonous needle to harm people?"

Lin Chengyou didn't answer, he took off the jade plaque from his waist and handed it to Yan Sizhi: "I can't leave Pingkangfang now, so I can only ask Yan Sizhi to come to the palace for me as soon as possible. The head's maid envoys a silk craftsman, named Tuo Niang. This woman has been working in the palace thirty years ago, and she can know all the needlework and embroidery workers in the world. Yes. I think the stitches on this sachet are a bit weird, it’s too troublesome to ask every embroidery workshop, why don’t you take it into the palace and show it to Mother Tuo, at least she can tell where the embroidery is at a glance.”

"Okay." Yan Sizhi hesitated for a moment and took the jade tablet, "I will enter the palace right away. Is your son going back to Caifenglou?"

Lin Chengyou looked at the sky outside: "The sky is not right, I guess the corpse evil will have something to do tonight, I have to go back and wait for the rabbit, if Yan Sizhi finds anything, just come to me before dark, after dark If you see that Caifeng Tower is closed and closed, you should take someone to leave earlier, and we can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to do."

Yan Sizhi was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "I almost forgot, there are villains and evil spirits in Caifenglou, but in detail, I don't know who is more evil, people or monsters." .Okay, according to what the son said, Mr. Yan will go early and return early, so you must be careful."

***

Teng Yuyi learned the second sword technique in Houyuan. Compared with the first time, it was much faster this time.

Teng Yuyi wiped off the sweat and stared at the Xiaoya sword in his hand: "Cheng Bo, do you think it's strange, the moves are clearly in place, why every time I practice at the end, I always feel stagnant.

Cheng Bo was thoughtful: "This old slave is just about to talk to Miss about this—"

Several Taoist priests from Dongming Temple came together: "Hey, Mr. Wang, you have been sweating frequently since last night. Is it related to that bowl of fire jade spirit root soup?"

Teng Yuyi put the sword back into the sheath and said with a smile: "All the masters can see that this soup has infinite benefits, but it is too difficult to overcome."

"Pin Dao sees that the sword technique Cheng Bo taught you is not bad, but it's too slow."

"Slow?"

Jiantian grinned and said: "The poor Taoist understands it. The current situation of the prince is like a craftsman planting flowers. He should have dug deep enough, but he only buried the roots in a shallow layer. Even if the flowers and leaves are lush , if the meridians are blocked, you will not be able to absorb nutrients from the soil. For now, you can only dig the soil deeper and bury the roots more firmly, otherwise this soup will not benefit you, but according to your practice method , even if you practice day and night, it will take more than ten days to get through the main pulse."

Teng Yuyi thought about it for a while, and although what the Five Ways said was not all in place, it was not far away.

She lightly tapped her palm with the hilt of her sword, and started to walk slowly: "Ten days is ten days. Learning martial arts is not something that can be achieved overnight. Since I decided to practice martial arts well, I have done it all year round. preparation."

Jiantian shook his head: "Young Master Wang doesn't know martial arts or channeling skills, so it's no wonder he thinks about things so lightly. This 'take your time' training method is only applicable to other methods of cultivating internal strength. The spiritual grass of the enlightened family will not work."

A smile froze on Teng Yuyi's face.

Jian Le took a step forward, smiled and said: "Everything is about chance, and the Taoist spiritual grass is the same. This thing refuses to give in, and it often takes a few days to settle in the body. If it succeeds, it is a 'good loan'." ', if it doesn't work, it means 'Tao Yu is not Tao'. All in all, if you want to benefit from these seven or eight years of skill, you must pay a price. Although Pindao doesn't know how many days the Fire Jade Spirit Root is limited to, it will never I will give you a chance to slowly overcome it."

Teng Yuyi's forehead twitched. According to this, is it possible to practice slowly?

"What if the time limit is exceeded?"

"I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious." Jian Le sighed, "Because we drank the Huoyu Linggen Soup last night, we dug out the "Medicine Classic" in the package and checked the medicinal properties of each spirit herb. It’s different, the time limit ranges from three to seven days. If you can’t overcome it within the time limit, you will get a headache at the slightest, and you will become deaf or stupid at the worst. But you don’t have to worry so much, there is no mention of fire in the "Medicine Classic" Jade Lingen, maybe the time limit for restraining this thing will be longer."

Teng Yuyi curled her fingers slightly. She also glanced at Lin Chengyou's booklet last night. If you can't get rid of it, you will only get hot sores. She doesn't believe a word of Wu Dao's so-called "becoming deaf and stupid", but they There is some truth in what she said, this kind of spiritual herbal medicine is overbearing, maybe she really doesn't have time to let her overcome it slowly.

It seems that if you don't want to get hot sores, you can only practice the Taoist swordsmanship as soon as possible, but she is not a Taoist, how can she learn the real swordsmanship.

She looked at Wudao, and with a thought, she changed into a pleasant expression, and said modestly: "I understand, since it is a Taoist spiritual herb, it is natural to use Taoist moves to restrain it. Your lords, please understand." The method is ingenious, I don't know if you are willing to give me some advice."

"Well..." Jiantian pretended to stroke his beard.

Teng Yuyi and Cheng Bofei quickly exchanged glances, Wu Dao has always been greedy and stingy, judging from this posture, they clearly have a way, and they deliberately acted hesitantly, fearing they were playing some crooked idea again.

Suddenly, Juesheng and Qizhi shouted from a distance: "Young Master Wang, Uncle Cheng, Brother Huo, so you are in the garden."

Qizhi was holding something in his arms, it was wrapped with a scorpion, it looked bulging, it was probably something like a mustard pancake, before the person arrived, the fragrance wafted over with the wind.

Wu Dao rushed forward: "It's back! Have you found out who the murderer is? Hey, what is so fragrant, wow, it's so delicious!"

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity to ask: "Have the priests not had their lunch yet?"

When Wu Dao mentioned this, he became angry: "From last night to today's noon, the Caifeng Tower has not stopped. I heard that the chef alone, Shizi led people to search for several rounds. Now everything is messed up. The girls are busy putting things away, and just now He Mingsheng said that they will not be able to eat until evening at the earliest."

Teng Yuyi nodded: "It happens that Huo Qiu is going out to buy something for me, let him buy some meat by the way, this place is quite secluded, you might as well sit in the gazebo over there. Huo Qiu, you go Go to my room to get a few bottles of Luofuchun."

After a while, Huo Qiu brought some snacks like wine and deer vinegar, and the group sat in the gazebo to drink and chat.

Seeing the sky and looking at the direction of Nanze and Hongxiangyuan from a distance, the sun is just right at noon, and the spring is in full bloom in the garden, but the two rooms are deserted, not a single lady came out to hang out.

"After what happened last night, I'm afraid no one would dare to come out and run around. When Qingzhi died, everyone could deceive themselves and others, but last night Yao Huang was killed in full view. As long as you think There is a murderous murderer dormant beside him, anyone would be in danger."

Teng Yuyi asked Juesheng and Qizhi: "The embroidery and fabric of that sachet are extraordinary. I should be able to find out something at the nearby fabric store. How is it? Did you find any clues?"

Juesheng shook his head like a rattle: "Senior brother blasted us away before we sat down."

Jian Tianmei glanced sideways: "There are so many people in the building, maybe I'm afraid that you accidentally missed something. Speaking of the sachet, the murderer is probably a lunatic. Wouldn't it be better to throw it on the road? We hid things under our noses, it's only because everyone's attention was on Ge Jin and Lady Yao Huang at that time, the whole room was full of people, but no one noticed the murderer's move."

"Maybe it's the murderer's favorite thing, maybe it's a gift from a good man, so I'm reluctant to throw it away."

Jianxi made a toothache expression: "Lele, you are quite old, why are you still thinking about these idiots. The murderer can't be afraid of being betrayed by the stitches and silk threads on the sachet By yourself?"

Teng Yuyi smiled.

Jianxi and Jianle turned their gazes to Teng Yuyi: "If the prince has other ideas, you might as well tell them, a small sachet, the old man doesn't believe that the prince can say anything else Come in a trick."

Teng Yuyi put down the wine cup: "If I can't tell you anything else, how about paying all the twenty bottles of Luo Fuchun in my room to the five masters? But if what I say is reasonable, the five masters have to agree Next request."

Wudao was so happy that he rubbed his hands together, Luo Fuchun is a famous wine in the south of the Yangtze River, these bottles brought by the Teng Mansion are the best among the wines, after just a few sips, he can't stop, if he can drink it freely, You will definitely be as happy as a god.

A bet is a bet.

"Okay! Just as the prince said."

Teng Yuyi said seriously: "When I found that sachet in the morning, all the priests could clearly see that there were dozens of poisonous needles hidden in it. Judging from being plotted to the point of knowing nothing about the poisonous hair, those poisonous needles must have been carefully designed. The murderer would rather take the risk of being discovered to hide the sachet. Why must it be aimed at the sachet itself? Couldn't it be that you can't bear the poisonous needle inside?"

The corner of Wu Dao's mouth twitched, and he immediately changed his words: "Actually, this old Taoist has already thought about it, but he just got drunk and forgot to mention it."

Seeing the contemptuous expressions of Juesheng and Qizhi, he said solemnly: "That's all, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Tell me, Mr. Wang, what do you want us to do for you?"

Teng Yuyi raised the bar of soap that fell on her shoulders back: "My request is very simple. I just need to ask the five masters to teach me a set of Taoist moves, so that I can subdue the fire jade spirit within three days Just root soup."

Jiantian squinted his eyes: "Since it was built, it has never accepted female disciples. This is the rule of the ancestors, and I dare not tamper with it."

Teng Yuyi was not annoyed at all, nodded and said: "At first I wanted to send twenty bottles of Luo Fuchun to the Small Buddha Hall as a thank-you gift, but it seems unnecessary, the two little priests have seen it, and the seniors of Dongming Temple will also Go back and forth—"

Five cheeks tightened, although their reputation has never been good, but the "little promises and little trustworthiness" is a flagrant violation of the teachings of the ancestors. The key point is that if he does not agree, the twenty bottles of Luo Fuchun that were lost and recovered will slip away from his mouth again.

Jianxian smiled and said, "Don't get angry, my lord. Brother, I've only finished my sentence. It's true that Dongming Temple never accepts female apprentices, but it didn't say that it can't help the weak. My lord is in dire straits now. How can you stand by and watch."

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as Mr. Wang doesn't tell outsiders after he learns it, it's fine to teach you some simple moves."

Teng Yuyi got up and bowed: "Please rest assured, my masters, I didn't intend to covet the noble swordsmanship. As long as I can practice the meridians smoothly, I will never say anything that shouldn't be said. The soup I drank last night is the rest The next day is less than three days, since the masters have agreed, why not start practicing now?"

While she was talking, she was about to pull out the Xiaoya sword, but seeing Xian hurriedly stopped her and said, "Hey, let's not be busy, let us discuss first, which move is the easiest to use."

This discussion lasted half an hour, when Luo Fuchun on the table was almost drunk, he saw the genius smacking his lips and said: "Swordsmanship is the most important thing, since the prince is a beginner, it is better to start with the swordsmanship with few moves. Learn."

"How many tricks are there?"

"Not many, thirty-six strokes."

Teng Yuyi almost spit out a sip of wine, she can't stand Kee's sword skills even ten moves, when will she learn thirty-six moves?

"My lord, don't look at us like that. This move is called the Brown Sword Technique, which is the so-called 'Brown Body, Jade Heart'. After you finish your studies, you have entered the door of Taoism. Although there are many moves, they are simple and easy to understand. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the two little Taoists.”

Teng Yuyi moved his gaze to the left, Juesheng and Qizhi nodded.

However, the two of them were silently calculating that even if it was easy to learn, it would take at least two full days to practice all the thirty-six moves. Even if one drinks the Huoyu Linggen Decoction and refreshes oneself, it will be too much to bear after practicing.

They felt guilty and uneasy about Teng Yuyi all day long, and they asked Teng Yuyi to explain the reason as soon as they were restrained.

Ms. Teng said she knew it, but they knew it when they saw Mrs. Teng's expression. She must have felt that the senior brother did it on purpose. Later, I explained it several times, but the result became darker and darker.

There is no other way now, the real thing is to help Mrs. Teng get over it as soon as possible. It would be great if I could get my senior brother to agree to teach the Peach Blossom Swordsmanship, which is the easiest Taoist swordsmanship in the world. In this way, Madam Teng would not get hot sores and gain seven to eight years of skill for nothing.

It's a pity that I mentioned it once last night, but was rejected by the senior on the spot, and they had never read the sword manual themselves, so they couldn't even talk about it if they wanted to teach Mrs. Teng.

Seeing that Juesheng and Qizhi also nodded, Teng Yuyi excitedly drew his sword again: "Okay, it's the quilt brown sword technique, masters, let's start right away."

Five ways lined up one word at a time, set up a posture and taught two tricks, two Yamen servants from Dali Temple came over and said: "Please go back to your room quickly."

Wu Dao glanced at each other: "We are exchanging martial arts in the back garden, and we don't interfere with other people's business, should we take care of that?"

"As Lin Pingshi said, no one is allowed to wander outside tonight without his permission."

Wu Dao was stunned: "Is it because of the murder case? But we are not from Caifenglou, we are just here temporarily to help collect monsters——"

"The subordinates are only following orders."

Teng Yuyi asked the yamen servant: "Are you worried that something will happen to someone after the arrangement of Prince Cheng?"

Wu Dao turned back in astonishment: "What do you mean by that?"

Teng Yuyi withdrew his sword and put it back into its sheath: "We have guessed just now that the murderer is reluctant to throw away the sachet. Maybe it's not because of the sachet, but because of the poisonous needle inside. Think about it, what is this person doing with the poisonous needle?"

"What else can poisonous needles be used for? Of course—it can only be used to harm people."

Juesheng and Qizhi shuddered: "Prince Wang, do you mean that the murderer is going to kill again?"

Someone laughed and said, "It's so lively here."

Juesheng and Qizhi greeted him hurriedly: "Brother, the five seniors can't restrain their feet in the room. They agreed to teach the prince swordsmanship, and this is just the beginning."

Wudao also yelled: "Yes, yes, if we stop here, we won't be able to finish teaching the remaining tricks within the time limit."

Lin Chengyou turned his eyes on the faces of the people. He didn't expect Wu Dao to teach Teng Yuyi swordsmanship in a decent way after going out. He was not surprised that Teng Yuyi was able to persuade Wu Dao to agree to pass on the art. One set, this swordsmanship seems to be very suitable for Teng Yuyi, if she really wants to master it, she will be able to do it herself.

He said to the two yamen servants: "Go back to the front building first, I have other arrangements for them."

Jianxi shouted: "That's right, son, we were captured by you, it's fine for others to be grounded, we will never go back to the room and detain us."

Jiantian stared at Lin Chengyou for a while, and suddenly made a secret plan, and hurriedly said to Teng Yuyi:

"My lord, in fact, the despised bean swordsmanship is nothing, and the peach blossom swordsmanship is the simplest Taoist swordsmanship in the world, but it is not a foreigner's skill at all. The subtlety lies not in the moves, but in the mind. It is said that when a Taoist expert lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, he often took his sick wife to pick herbs in the mountain. The wife did not know martial arts, but she was good at medicine. She lived in the mountain for a long time, and occasionally ate spiritual herbs by mistake. In order to help his wife restrain himself, a senior came up with this set of peach blossom swordsmanship. It is said that no foundation in martial arts is required, and the smart ones can learn it in just one pass. Even if you are stupid, half an hour is enough."

Teng Yuyi was having a headache, how to learn thirty-six moves in two days, and her eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "Why don't you teach me this one?"

Jian Le shook his head melancholy: "It is said that this sword technique has been lost for a long time. It was not until a prince of Bohai Kingdom came to congratulate him many years ago that this sword manual was rediscovered. It is expected that it is either kept in the palace or released. In Qingyun Temple. Two little Taoists, have you learned this sword technique before?"

"I've heard of it." Qi Zhi said shyly, "But I have never learned it, but this sword manual has been kept in the temple, and my brother should have read it a long time ago."

Jiantian took the opportunity and hurriedly said: "Isn't the prince here? Young Master Wang, why don't you let the prince teach you the peach blossom swordsmanship."

He has already thought about it just now, teaching swords is too tiring, why not throw this matter to Lin Chengyou, anyway, the fire jade spirit root was obtained by Lin Chengyou, and Mrs. Teng is also responsible for accidentally believing him, Lin Chengyou does not help her Who will help her overcome it.

As soon as these words came out, Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou looked weird at the same time.

Teng Yuyi knew that it was impossible for Lin Chengyou to teach her swordsmanship, so Wu Dao suddenly came up with such a bad idea, clearly wanting to throw her out.

But Lin Chengyou was thinking, is Wu Dao intentional? They really don't know the alias of Peach Blossom Sword Art?

Recalling the moves on the sword manual, he glanced at Teng Yuyi from the corner of his eye, asking him to teach Teng Yuyi like that? how is this possible.

He looked at Wu Dao suspiciously, and felt that Wu Dao might just say it in passing, that's right, very few people have seen this sword technique, even if the world has heard of this sword technique, they don't know what it is secret.

"My son, how are you?" Jiantian said, "Peach Blossom swordsmanship is much easier to learn than brown swordsmanship. You will teach Prince Wang yourself, and she will learn it soon after taking care of her."

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "I've seen this sword manual twice, but I can't teach the prince. Since the prince has already started to learn Guiguan's black sword technique, don't be half-hearted. I just now Look, Prince Wang has a very high level of comprehension. If you practice early, you can learn it in two days. If you really want to master it, it will increase your skill for seven to eight years out of thin air."

That being said, he also knows that Teng Yuyi may not be able to learn swordsmanship in such a short period of time. If he can't melt the gram, he may develop hot sores...

At worst, he will go to the palace to get her a bottle of Yuyan Dan. Last year, the crown prince had a red face with hot sores. After applying Yuyan Dan, there was no trace left on his face. It is said that this medicine can eliminate old shallow scars, and a few acnes are naturally not a problem.

It's a pity that it is in the hands of the queen. If he wants to ask for medicine for Teng Yuyi, he has to think about his words in advance.
