Capture the Jade

The emperor and Liu Bingyu stared at each other.

Qing Xuzi looked at his disciple and grandson, and as soon as the words came out, the child's face changed immediately.

Qing Xuzi sighed: "You don't have to suspect that Shigong made a mistake. Shigong has calculated the three hexagrams of Liuren, Taiyi, and Lei Gong respectively, and the hexagrams obtained are exactly the same. At the age of 16, this child will surely die in response to the calamity. It is a catastrophe, a catastrophe, and there is no need to wait until the age of 16. This child will surely die in response to the calamity. It has officially entered the year of calamity."

impossible. Lin Chengyou's ear rang loudly, the last time the abbot Yuanjue said that Teng Yuyi's fate was not right, but the abbot's words were more euphemistic, unlike the master's assertion that Teng Yuyi would not survive the sixteenth.

He struggled and said, "that night your old man saw Teng Yuyi in Zhixu Pavilion, didn't you say she was blessed after coming back?"

Having said this, he paused in surprise, yes, the abbot Yuanjue also said last time that Teng Yu had a good face, but such a good face had an extremely fierce fate, and the abbot also found it puzzling.

Just listened to the teacher said: "So the teacher thinks that this child is a bit strange. On the surface, it is really a sign of good fortune and longevity. According to the fate, it is a short-lived person."

The emperor heard the words and remembered something: "Master, remember that your old man said before that this kind of deviation between the face and the destiny is extremely rare. It is usually caused by resentment, which is a bit like... a curse."

Qing Xuzi snorted: "I will understand it with an example. About 20 years ago, a wealthy family in Changlefang invited Master to come to the house to eliminate the trouble. The wealthy family's surname is Cheng, and there is a son under his knees, who is called Cheng Dalang. Jian and smart, never got sick before the age of fourteen. Unexpectedly, when he turned fourteen, Cheng Dalang suddenly fell ill with a strange illness. Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng did not know how to seek medical treatment for their son. Unfortunately, no matter whether it is a famous doctor or a quack doctor , I couldn't see what disease Cheng Dalang had. Some people guessed whether Cheng Dalang was evil, so Master Cheng went to Qingyun Temple and asked for his teacher to come to help him.

"After I arrived at Cheng's house for my teacher, I first looked inside and out, but I didn't see any signs of grievances, and then I looked at Cheng Dalang's face. There was something odd, so I asked Master Cheng for Cheng Dalang's birth date. In a row, it was found that Cheng Dalang could not live to fifteen years, and now he has reached the age of calamity. I am afraid that he will not escape. Master Cheng was shocked and hated: It must be, must be the ghost of that Tianshenu!

"Looking at the situation of the two of them for my teacher, I suddenly remembered a spell called 'wrong hook spell', so I asked the Cheng family if they had offended anyone before. When he didn't move to Chang'an more than 20 years ago, he had forged a great feud with others because of the land grab in the countryside. The old farmer was seized by the Cheng family, and he refused to be a tenant. A hemp rope was hanged at the gate of Cheng's family. Before his death, he was full of resentment, saying that when he died, he would definitely curse the Cheng family to cut off their children and grandchildren.

"The Cheng couple has been brooding about this matter, and I don't know if it's a coincidence. After five or six years of this incident, the two have never had any children. They finally conceived, and they would definitely slip the tire. Master Cheng accepted it again. Several concubines and concubines, the result was the same. Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng remembered the curse of the farmer, and they felt that something was wrong. They wanted to go to the temple to see the eminent monk, but they knew that Mrs. Cheng suddenly became pregnant. The first pregnancy went well, and the child born was Cheng Dalang.

"According to the couple, Cheng Dalang was in good health since he was a child. At first, the couple still remembered the curse of the farmer from time to time. As the days passed, Cheng Dalang grew up day by day, and they forgot about it. How do you know Cheng Dalang? Something went wrong as soon as he was fourteen years old. Master Cheng asserted that the matter was related to the curse of the old farmer, crying and begging for a teacher to think of something, saying that this Liangzi was forged by him, how could he repay his son, as long as the son could He was willing to lose his life.

"I didn't wait for the teacher to figure out what to do, and I died when Ye Cheng Dalang."

The queen was sighing, but Lin Chengyou was secretly shocked. He also knows this kind of curse, the person who curses often harbors monstrous hatred. In order to curse his enemy, he is willing to sacrifice his own eternal life. The moment the curse is cursed, the person who curses will lose his soul, and the resentment it brings. It is also extremely strong. The so-called wrong hook means that this spell cannot be directly applied to the enemy itself, but will be dislocated to the descendants of the enemy.

Those who are cursed will be hit with evil within three generations, either by accident or by serious illness.

No one is spared.

And this curse has no solution, because the person who cast the curse has already lost all his chances of reincarnation, and has punished himself with the cruelest means.

This is a way of revenge.

The queen said anxiously, "If this is the case with Lady Teng, could it be that the Teng family has had a great feud with others?"

The emperor thought about it and said, "The men of the Teng family have been killing thousands of people on the battlefield. After years of fighting, it is inevitable that they will kill too much, but this kind of fighting on the battlefield will not provoke such deep hatred."

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, whether in court or on the battlefield, as long as there is a dispute of interest, Teng Shao will inevitably form a relationship with others, but if he wants to take revenge on Teng Shao, there are other means, why should he sacrifice his life for such blood. curse.

Unless...unless you hate it to the core.

Qing Xuzi obviously also thought of this: "I'm not familiar with the court, what is Teng Shao's character like?"

The emperor showed his approbation: "The Teng family is full of loyalty and loyalty. When Teng Yuanhao was an official in the court, he was very strict in politics. Later, when Hu rebelled and plotted the country, Duke Teng brought his eldest son and second son to die for the country to resist Hu rebellion. As for Teng Shao, I remember that when my master taught his disciples to say a sentence, to judge a person's character, don't look at the person's attitude towards superiors, but look at his attitude towards inferiors, Teng Shao battlefield He is ruthless in killing the enemy, but he treats his subordinates, captives, and people with kindness, kindness, and generosity. Wherever he marches, he is not afraid of a dagger. Countless people can testify to this. One person can pretend to be for a year or two. Even though Teng Shao has been pretending for 10 or 20 years, he has remained the same, so I would never believe that Teng Shao has done anything wrong."

Qing Xuzi pondered: "That's strange, if the Teng family is loyal and good, how could they invite this kind of spell for their children."

Lin Chengyou was already in a turmoil, tried his best to sort out the thoughts in his head, raised his head and said to the teacher: "You old man just found that Teng Yu's face is not in line with his fate, this does not mean that she must have been hit by the wrong hook spell. There are other possibilities."

Qing Xuzi snorted: "Master Shi is approaching his old age. After entering the Daomen for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a fierce fate, and it is also the first time I have seen such a blessed face. This situation is really rare, and it can only mean that This child was cursed before he was born, and even if it wasn't the wrong curse, it was provoked similar grievances."

"Then—" Lin Chengyou asked unwillingly, "Is there any way to break this wrong hook spell?"

The empress looked at each other sullenly.

Qing Xuzi's eyelids lifted: "Why, ask Qingzi, do you want to help her continue to live?"

That's it, Lin Chengyou's chest rumbled, and he forced a smile: "My disciple thinks that Mrs. Teng has not done anything evil, and she should not bear such a vicious curse. She has lost her mother since she was a child. If you don't live to be sixteen, it's really pitiful to think about, if there is a way to save her, my disciple and grandson... I can't just sit back and ignore it."

Qing Xuzi looked straight at his disciple and grandson.

Lin Chengyou held the Master's gaze.

He knew that there must be a way, but it was definitely not a well-known way.

If the fate is wrong, the curse cannot be solved, so I can only directly help her change her life.

Guanli hides the secrets about the life-changing technique. The method is easy to learn, but after all, this is an act against the sky and the law, and the caster will definitely pay the price.

If the master refuses to tell him, he will make up his own mind.

Thinking back to Teng Yuyi's difficult situation in the past few months, isn't she fighting so hard to survive, if she still died in the end—

It was as if his heart had been pulled.

Okay, Teng Yuyi can dislike him temporarily, but it is best to live a long life.

Qing Xuzi couldn't see what his disciple and grandson were thinking, put down the tea cup, and sighed, "You—"

Listening to this tone, this is a turning point? This time, not only Lin Chengyou was overjoyed, but the Empress also raised her heart in her throat: "Does your old man have a better solution?"

"On the night of her birthday, Master Teng looked at Madam Teng carefully. If she had reached the age of calamity, she would definitely be blackened and even full of suffocation, but according to what she saw that night, Madam Teng had no such signs on her body, which was related to her. Her destiny is contradicting itself, after Shigong finished the divination for her today, he felt so inexplicable." Qing Xuzi looked at Lin Chengyou and said, "Well, after you go to inquire about Mrs. Teng and Gai, what dangers have you encountered and how? To save danger, remember, it must be something that happened after you turned fifteen."

Lin Chengyou thought for a while, and then his heart suddenly shook: "Master means—"

"Someone helped her borrow her life." Qing Xuzi's eyes were burning, "Master Shigong has only seen two people who have been hit by the wrong hook in his life, and when it comes to the year of calamity, no one will be as innocent as Mrs. Teng. There are clues, so today Shigong has thought about it for a long time, and it is most likely that someone secretly helped her change her fate."

"Miss Teng is Teng Shao's only daughter." The emperor nodded stunned, "With Teng Shao's ability, it's not difficult to find some capable people to help her daughter change her life, but after all, this matter is illegal. I think even if the Teng family did it, no one would ever know about it."

Lin Chengyou not only quickly thought of the layer mentioned by his uncle, but also remembered that Teng Yuyi had fallen into the water on his way back to Chang'an. The time was February, just after she got married.

According to General Teng, after her daughter was salvaged, many ghosts and ghosts suddenly appeared on the boat, and since then, Teng Yuyi would have nightmares when she left Xiaoyajian.

Teng Yuyi herself told him that she was afraid of water because of the drowning.

Did Master really guess it right? That time was Teng Yuyi's death, because someone secretly borrowed her life for her, so she could survive.

That's right, the person who borrows his life with injustice will naturally continue to provoke evil.

In this way, the catastrophe that Teng Yuyi hit has been melted?

After thinking about it, his face gradually became less ugly, but the heavy feeling in his heart did not subside.

Could it be that Teng Yuyi also knew that someone had borrowed his life for her, so she would not tell her the truth.

To protect your grandpa?

possible.

He suddenly became silent.

If the borrowing of life is true, whether the uncle will pursue it or not.

Not to pursue it, violated the imperial court's strategy of suppressing sorcery.

If pursued-

It looks like it can only be delayed for a while.

At least wait for him to figure out what was going on from Teng Yuyi's mouth.

"This—" He frowned deliberately, "I haven't heard of any serious disaster that Teng has encountered recently. After all, my disciple and grandson are not familiar with her. Otherwise, I will ask someone to inquire."

"Inquire as soon as possible."

The Queen's heart fell to the ground, and she said with relief: "I hope that Mrs. Teng really took advantage of her life. You'er finally fell in love with a little lady. If she doesn't live to the age of sixteen, it will be too sad. Now that Mrs. Teng turns bad luck into good luck, You'er has no worries."

The emperor and Qingxuzi looked at each other. I'm afraid it's not that simple. You'er has reached the year of love and calamity, so I'm afraid it should be on top of it.

Worrying and worrying, as soon as this matter was opened, the solemn atmosphere in the hall was swept away.

The maids warmed the porridge and served it again.

The queen asked the prince if he was still beating horses in the field, and asked for a few late-night snacks.

After the meal, Lin Chengyou sent Qing Xuzi back to the next place.

Here, Liu Bingyu said to her husband, "You'er's marriage is a bit of a shadow, and Aqi doesn't know when there will be any news. This time, I recruited all the ladies from Xiangxiang Academy to the mountain, just to make Aqi. I have a relationship with myself, but I have only stayed for one night, and these evil spirits will appear in the palace, and if I leave the mountain tomorrow, I will fail these arrangements in vain."

The emperor looked at his wife tenderly: "It's not just that you have arrangements here, I also need to discuss an important matter with several ministers on the mountain. Although Chikuo is difficult to deal with, it is not as easy to lift the sky as it is to bear weight. I have already sent someone down the mountain to deliver the letter to the city. The Dayin Temple and the Daoguan Temple will respond overnight. On the palace side, the formations and talismans have also been sent. Come in, you don’t have to move tomorrow, just leave for the city early the next morning.”

Liu Bingyu was overjoyed, nodded and said, "This is the best way. Aqi is a good-natured child. As a mother, I only hope that he will find a compatible wife in the future. Also, Minlang is not too young. Now, once the two nephews are settled, he is too embarrassed to drag them on. The little ladies from Xiangxiang Academy look good, but they may not be able to tell from their faces. I came up with a good idea."

The emperor smiled in surprise: "You want to test them?"

Liu Bingyu thought about it for a while, then smiled: "You can't try it in the usual way. Recruit these little ladies early tomorrow morning, and then—"

***

Lin Chengyou returned to the dormitory. He hadn't thought about how to ask Teng Yuyi. Besides, in the current situation of the two, it was absolutely impossible for Teng Yuyi to tell her the truth. I am still tiring from ten horse fights on weekdays. If I hadn’t remembered to take a shower, I would fall asleep on my back and stand by the bed with my eyes closed. Just as I was about to take off my outer clothes, I heard the palace servant say, “His Royal Highness, the county. His Royal Highness Wang and the Prince of Nanzhao have come down."

Lin Chengyou lazily reattached the jade belt around his waist, took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and greeted the outer hall. It happened that the palace people led the prince and others in.

Gu Xian took the lead in salute, but his tone was very narrow: "I heard that you have a headache, and the pain is too painful to participate in Ma Yu, so let's see you."

The prince also smiled, and even the Prince of Chun'an had a little smile.

Lin Chengyou felt puzzled.

The four of them sat down on the seats beside the window of the moon hole. The window was facing the flower pond. The floor was full of silver frost-like moonlight, and the shadows of the flowers swayed in the moonlight.

After sitting down, Lin Chengyou looked left and right, and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this? What happened?"

The prince said, "I heard that you have a crush on Wu Zhongcheng's second wife?"

"Who?"

Gu Xiandao: "It was said that Erniang Wu got her foot stabbed in the garden. In order to please her, you took the initiative to take out your jade token to invite Yu Fengyu. How do you know that Erniang Wu would not accept this kindness and would rather be slapped on her own? Going back to the room, everyone on the stage tonight is telling how dignified and dignified Wu Erniang is, and how you can't ask her for nothing."

Lin Chengyou was stunned. Which song was this singing? He looked at the uncle subconsciously, and even the uncle nodded to indicate that it was true.

"It is estimated that everyone in the entire palace will know that you admire Erniang Wu."

"But Wu Yuanluo has solemnly stated that it is absolutely impossible for his sister to marry Prince Cheng's son."

Wu Yuanluo?

Lin Chengyou snorted and made a mistake, this fellow is actually even more cheap than he thought.
