Capture the Jade

Du Tinglan was taken aback, Yuyi had just arrived in Chang'an, how could she know Lu Zhao'an's name?

After thinking about it, the Jinshi Banquet in the Moonlight Pavilion was so lively, and Lu Zhaoan was this year's Kui Yuan again. There were many eyes and ears around Ayu, so it was not surprising that he knew.

She nodded awkwardly: "Yes."

Mrs. Du was heartbroken: "So you went out of the nunnery privately to see this Lu Zhaoan?"

Du Tinglan clenched the corner of the quilt tightly, and her tears fell like broken beads. Teng Yuyi silently patted Du Tinglan's shoulder and back. After she calmed down a little, she asked, "Sister, what happened after that?"

Du Tinglan wiped away her tears and managed to stabilize her mind: "I was determined to retrieve those letters, afraid that my mother would find out that I had left Jingfu Nunnery, and hurried to the bamboo forest. Who knew that a large number of servants had come from outside the bamboo forest, and they were set up in front of the forest. After the curtain is closed, no one can pass through, so I found out that Prince Cheng is going to take a shortcut and go to Yuedeng Pavilion to play Cuju."

"Becoming a prince?"

"Yes." Du Tinglan cried for a while, becoming calmer, and slowly recalled, "At that time, several calves were blocked outside the forest. I knew that it would be impossible to push hard, so I had to leave with the red slave, who would have passed through the bamboo forest. On the west side, I found that there was no curtain at the entrance to the west, Lu Zhaoan and I were about to meet at the northwest corner, so we turned back and there was no one blocking the west side of the bamboo forest."

Teng Yuyi thought to herself, so it turns out that Lin Chengyou was sealed off, but her sister was still able to enter the forest.

"I waited in the forest with Hongnu for a while, but Lu Zhaoan never showed up. It was dark in the bamboo forest. I got scared and was about to leave along the same path. At this moment, a woman's laughter floated from the top of the tree, and she looked up. , I saw a black giant squatting silently on the top of the tree, and before we could call for help, it jumped down, and what happened next... I don't know."

Du Tinglan remembered the horrific scene, her face turned pale instantly, Madam Du patted and comforted, and it took a while for Du Tinglan to calm down.

Teng Yu said coldly, "Sister, did you see Lu Zhaoan in the bamboo forest at that time?"

Du Tinglan shook her head and said, "It's too dark in the bamboo forest. To distinguish the way in the forest, you must bring lanterns, but when Hongnu and I were in the accident, we didn't hear human voices, nor did we see any lighting nearby. It can be seen that Lu Zhaoan either did not plan to make an appointment at all, or he has not yet arrived at the bamboo forest."

Teng Yuyi sneered and said, "When Duanfu and I went in, no one was seen except for the monster, and after saving my next sister, no one was snooping or wandering nearby."

Madam Du was trembling with anger: "What a bastard! I guess he either fled long ago or hid aside."

She stared at Du Tinglan with red eyes: "What do you want A-Niang to say, such a well-behaved child is carrying his mother and father behind his back... That's all, he still looks at such a shameless person!"

Du Tinglan didn't regret it, he made a mistake and almost lost his life. Tears were pouring down, and she said sadly, "A-niang can teach her daughter whatever she wants. All mistakes are her daughter's fault. A-niang must not hurt herself."

Although Mrs. Du was annoyed, she finally felt that her daughter was wronged. She glared at her daughter for a while, and took Du Tinglan into her arms. The mother and daughter cried together.

Teng Yuyi's eyes were cold. This person is not a coward, but a ruthless and gentle scum. If the cousin and Hong slave in the previous life were really hurt by Lu Zhaoan, this time he saw someone doing it for him, maybe he was in the right hands.

It's just that there is something that doesn't make sense. Lin Chengyou was passing through the bamboo forest at that time. If the monster was also in the forest, it would be impossible for him not to notice because of Lin Chengyou's Taoism. Therefore, the thing should have sneaked in after Lin Chengyou left.

In such a short time, the old tree demon found the cousin and the red slave's Xingzang and attacked, wouldn't it be too coincidental?

If you want to find beautiful women as prey, why not go to places with many people, but choose such secluded places instead.

It's a pity that the old demon hadn't explained the matter clearly, so he was disturbed by a strange thunder, and was beaten into the original shape by Lin Chengyou.

"You mustn't let this **** go." Madam Du said bitterly, "Don't say that your letters are still in Lu Zhaoan's hands. I'm not sure if what happened that night has anything to do with him. I have to tell your grandfather about it. Let your grandfather have a good idea."

While talking, Du Yuzhi and Du Shaotang came, and Mrs. Du did not wait for the father and son to look at Du Tinglan, and told the story just now.

Du Yuzhi rolled his eyes and passed over on the spot.

Mrs. Du and Du Shaotang slammed into the crowd for a while, before Du Yuzhi woke up leisurely.

Du Tinglan felt so guilty that if Teng Yuyi hadn't stopped her, she would have almost fallen off the couch.

Du Yuzhi was so angry that his hands and feet were frozen, and he didn't care about teaching his daughter, so he scolded Lu Zhaoan first.

He worked in the Imperial College, and he had read Lu Zhaoan's poems after the list was released. At that time, he felt that his momentum was flying away. He was expected to be extremely ambitious, but he was a despicable person.

"If it weren't for the fear of ruining Lan'er's reputation, I would expose this person's character tomorrow. How could such a dog be tolerated in the court. Let me think about what crime to use, yes, if the loan is not repaid, tomorrow I will First, report Lu Zhaoan to the Ministry of Officials on the grounds that he did not repay the loan. By then, let alone passing the selection test, this villain may not even be able to keep his fame."

Mrs. Du was astonished and said: "Master can't even get an IOU, so he went up for no reason. Not only will Lu Zhaoan not commit crimes, but I'm afraid he will falsely accuse the master of framing him."

Du Yu knew for a while: "I'm confused! Then go ahead and check, a villain like him, who has been in Chang'an for more than three months, always misbehaved. Once I find something wrong, I will immediately find the old man from the Censor Desk. Friends impeach him, as long as you can sue him, it will be regarded as a traitor to the imperial court. I will also send a letter from Yangzhou, and make sure to inquire about this person’s various actions in Yangzhou.”

Du Shaotang has always had a strong relationship with her sister. Since entering the house, she has been covering her sister's handkerchief with red eyes. Hearing what his father said, he was also excited: "My son will find someone, no, there is no need to be so troublesome, I will immediately Get someone to give this **** a headache and beat him with a cloth bag."

Mrs. Du shouted: "You come back! Beware of showing off, this person is right in our hands, don't let your anger out, but fold you in. Even if you want to teach that person, your grandfather should come forward."

Du Shaotang was discouraged, and stomped his feet softly: "It doesn't work, it doesn't work, then what should I do."

While talking, he squatted in front of his sister's bed, having no idea at all.

Teng Yuyi thought to himself that uncle and Shaotang were all thinking of obvious ways, but to deal with a villain like Lu Zhaoan, the usual way would not work.

Zheng Pushe is a cautious person. Before marrying his only daughter to Lu Zhaoan in his previous life, he must have done a thorough investigation. The Zheng family has so many disciples, and even the Zheng family failed to find out Lu Zhaoan's misconduct. How good at covering up.

Perhaps Lu Zhaoan's only flaw was his cousin, so when he married the Zheng family in his previous life, he was impatient to erase this.

Du Yuzhi said angrily, "Don't be afraid, I'll go out and make arrangements."

Teng Yuyi said coldly, "Uncle, are you planning to do this?"

Du Yuzhi said angrily, "Let Dong'er find someone, hire eight or nine people from the market, and find out what Lu Zhaoan has done in the past few months!"

"Good idea. But my uncle has never dealt with people in the market. Do you need to check their details before hiring them?"

Du Yuzhi was stunned: "This..."

"Hiring so many people to investigate is a lot of money. If you don't find any clues in ten and a half months, when will you find out?"

Du Yuzhi stroked his beard frequently: "Then keep checking! As long as you can teach that **** a lesson, it's a big deal to sell some permanent properties!"

Teng Yuyi said, "Then where does my uncle plan to start the investigation, and how do I negotiate with those people in the market?"

Du Yuzhi snorted coldly: "I will go out in person, I don't believe that this matter is not well arranged."

Teng Yuyi had a headache. Uncle's appearance was firm and unyielding, but in fact he was innocent. If he really asked him to come forward in person, it would definitely be a mess.

She said, "Such a rogue like this is a double-edged sword. When there are too many people, their mouths will be mixed. If my uncle can't control them, not only will they not be able to catch Lu Zhao'an's cause, but also very likely to get into trouble. "

Du Yuzhi and Mrs. Du were horrified, yes, they were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid of leaking Laner's privacy.

Teng Yuyi said seriously, "I have something to say, I don't know if my uncle would like to hear it."

Du Yuzhi waved his hand impatiently: "But it doesn't matter."

"Can you hand this over to my grandpa's subordinates to investigate?"

Du Yuzhi raised his head in surprise, Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "The longer this is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to my sister. My grandpa's subordinates have been in the army for a long time, and they have their own way of dealing with wicked people. Let them deploy earlier to save other troubles. ."

Du Yuzhi was indecisive. His salary was only enough to support the family. In order to save money, many servants had been dismissed long ago. There were not many strong servants in the family, all of them were old and weak, women and children. It's not really a decimal.

Besides, what Ayu said makes sense. He has never dealt with people in the market. Even if he went to the West Market to find him temporarily, all the miscellaneous Hus he found were naughty. Not worth the loss.

Teng Yuyi waited patiently for her uncle to let go. It was normal for her uncle to have a sullen temperament, and it was normal for him not to save face, but it was related to the important affairs of his children, so his uncle would never act rashly.

Du Tinglan had been wiping tears silently by the side, but seeing that her father couldn't decide, she softly persuaded: "Grandpa, Ayu and uncle are not outsiders. There are many difficult points in this matter. ."

Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, her cousin was far more gentle than her uncle, but she was the most decisive one in the family.

Mrs. Du nodded and said, "What Yu'er and Lan'er said was that they were afraid that they could not find Lu Zhaoan's cause and would harm Lan'er. Master, just do as Yu'er said and leave this matter to the old men of her brother-in-law. Bar."

Du Yuzhi sighed heavily: "That's all, I'm all complaining about the incompetence of the old man."

As soon as the words came out, I suddenly realized that the words were misunderstood, cleared my throat, and said, "Yu'er, I'll leave everything to you."

Teng Yuyi stood up and bowed in return: "There is one more thing that needs to be discussed with my uncle and aunt in advance. Lu Zhaoan had avoided seeing his cousin, but last night he asked his cousin to go to the bamboo forest for the first time. On closer inspection, there are a lot of suspicious things.”

Mrs. Du and Du Yuzhi were shocked and suspicious: "Do you suspect that the monster has something to do with Lu Zhaoan?"

Teng Yuyi snorted: "The matter is still inconclusive, but Lu Zhaoan just asked his cousin to go to the bamboo forest, and the monster appeared. If it is purely coincidental, I don't believe it. Today's saints hate demons the most crooked way, if Lu Zhaoan can be found out If you attract evil spirits to harm people, this person's career will be ruined, and you won't even think about staying in Chang'an City in the future."

Du Shaotang was refreshed, ran to Teng Yuyi and said, "Cousin Yu, how should we check?"

"We don't understand Taoism, but fortunately, someone is already investigating. As long as you can make this person suspicious of Lu Zhaoan, you are not afraid of finding out the truth."

The people in the room said in unison, "Who is that person?"

Teng Yuyi said, "The Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple."

Mrs. Du pondered and said, "Daoist Qing Xuzi is not currently in Chang'an—"

Suddenly thinking of one person, his eyes widened suddenly: "Prince Cheng Prince?"

Du Yuzhi showed a thunderous expression: "No, no! This son has been rampant since he was a child, and it is better for us to provoke less."

Teng Yuyi raised her eyebrows, such a frightened expression rarely appeared on her uncle's face, which showed that Lin Chengyou was famous.

Mrs. Du said: "Master, last night we dealt with Prince Cheng, and his temperament was a bit arrogant, but he was smart and knew the importance. It's just Yu'er, if Prince Cheng is attracted to this matter, Lan'er and Prince Cheng will be involved. Isn't it possible that Lu Zhaoan's affairs can't be hidden?"

Teng Yu pondered: "Aunt, don't forget, Prince Cheng sent a small Taoist priest to ask about the bamboo forest last night, aunt thinks that even if we don't tell, Prince Cheng won't investigate in detail?

Du Shaotang couldn't help coughing. One of his classmates in Guozijian's grandfather was an official of Dali Temple. Last year, Lin Chengyou took the Mingjing test and went to work in Dali Temple. This classmate often told them about Lin Chengyou.

After coming and going, he knows a little about the temperament of this prince.

He timidly said to his father and mother, "If it wasn't for the Six Yuan Pills presented by the Prince Cheng, my sister would have died a long time ago. If the Prince Cheng wanted to investigate the case, but our family deliberately deceived it, things would only be more troublesome."

Du Yuzhi and Mrs. Du felt a coolness on their backs.

Du Shaotang added: "As of now, the best way is to tell the truth frankly. If you really have to wait until Prince Cheng finds out what to do, then don't expect to win his assistance. As for the private meeting of Sister, Prince Cheng... Prince Cheng doesn't seem to be that kind of person who likes to talk about right and wrong."

Du Yuzhi stroked his beard silently. He became the first son of the king and had no children. He beat the prince of Bohai Kingdom when he was ten years old, and pulled out a white beard from Wu Shizhong when he was fourteen years old. Idle is idle.

Teng Yuyi opened his mouth: "Although I don't know much about Lin Chengyou's character, but this gentleman is the eldest son of the Chengwang couple, and he has been taught under the Taoist priest Qingxu for so many years, no matter how absurd it is, there is a bottom line. The most important point is, Regardless of whether Zheng Pushe wants to marry his daughter to Lu Zhaoan, as long as Lin Chengyou can find out that the monster is related to Lu Zhaoan, Zheng Pushe will never dare to come forward to bail the person, and with Lin Chengyou's temperament, Lu Zhaoan will be unable to eat and walk away. "

In this way, how much energy was saved by Teng Fu and Du Fu.

Madam Du pondered and said, "Yu'er and Shaotang are right, sir, before the two trail masters come to the door, we will take the initiative to tell the Prince Cheng why Lan'er went to the bamboo forest."

Du Yuzhi stubbornly pursed his lips, but his heart was already loosened. Today, for some unknown reason, he was repeatedly challenged by his old wife and junior to his majesty. He is the head of the family.

During the stalemate, the servants came in and replied: "Master, Madam, the two priests of Qingyunguan are here."

Mrs. Du's eyes lit up: "Quickly invite them in."

Du Tinglan waved at Teng Yuyi: "Ayu, help me get dressed."

Teng Yuyi got up and went around behind the screen. After a while, Juesheng and Qizhi were led in by their servants. The two stood in the room and said in unison, "It's polite."

Du Yuzhi returned the salute earnestly: "Two Taoists, please take your seats."

Juesheng and Qizhi pretended to be old-fashioned: "Pindao came to visit the injured. After resting all night, I don't know how many of the injured are awake."

Du Yu knew: "I woke up, but I just vomited constantly. I didn't dare to call a medical officer without authorization, and I just waited for the Taoist priest to check."

Jue Sheng snorted: "This is the residual poison that has not been cleared, so use some detoxification recipes."

Mrs. Du warmly invited Juesheng Qizhi to enter: "Two Taoists, please come this way, the little girl was a little confused when she first woke up, and she was afraid when she talked about what happened last night."

After leading Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi to the screen while speaking, Teng Yuyi had already cooked for Du Tinglan. Du Tinglan couldn't get up, so she had to sit beside the bed and put her hands on her forehead: "I have seen two Taoist priests."

Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom said "offending", they stepped forward to look at Du Tinglan's eyelids, nodded, and asked Du Tinglan to stick out her tongue, and finally looked at her fingernails and palms. After the inspection, they both tilted their heads and looked at Du Tinglan.

Mrs. Du and Du Shaotang were secretly amazed. They didn't know how Daoist Qing Xuzi taught them. Although these two children were young, they couldn't make out the slightest mistake in their words and deeds, but they were inadvertently shown, and they were still childish.

"It's not a big problem." Jue Sheng took out the medicine bottle from his arms, "Take the pills here and grind them. Take one pill every morning and take it with water."

After that, Juesheng looked around: "How about the other injured people?"

Teng Yuyi was worried about Duanfu: "Baizhi and Hongnu are in the front room. I heard that they have woken up. The injured servant was placed in the front yard, and the steward has not yet replied."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi said: "Then let's look at the two maids first."

Bai Zhi and Hong Nu were far worse than Du Tinglan. After waking up, they screamed incessantly. Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi used two magic talismans, and hurriedly recited a heart-clearing mantra to see improvement.

In the end, it was Duanfu, who was placed in the Songyun Hall in the front yard last night.

The Du family knew the importance of this old servant in Teng Yuyi's heart. Except for Mrs. Du who stayed to take care of Du Tinglan, Du's father and son spontaneously accompanied Teng Yuyi to visit Duanfu.

Duan Fu lay silently on the couch, with an empty bowl on the table, when he saw Teng Yuyi and his party coming in, he insisted on staying on the couch.

Teng Yuyi and Du Shaotang hurriedly stepped forward: "You just woke up from a serious injury, don't talk about these false rituals, lie down quickly."

Duanfu held his neck and refused to lie down, hissing: "Is the lady okay?"

Teng Yuyi nodded solemnly: "I'm fine."

Only then did Duanfu relax and lay back slowly.

Juesheng and Jizhi are profoundly different. Seeing this person is over fifty, with gray hair, eagle nose and eagle eyes, he seems to be of some Hu bloodline, and his hands are as hard as rocks. At a glance, he can see that his internal skills are extraordinary. How to deal with monsters like that.

Strangely, the old servant seemed to have only the little master in his eyes, ignoring the two strangers, and he didn't chat with Du's father and son.

Du's father and son are used to it, especially Du Shaotang. When he first saw Duanfu a few years ago, he mistakenly thought he was a mute.

With such a big man, he silently follows behind Cousin Yu all day long.

For a while, he always wanted to know why this man had no wife and no children, and after pestering his mother a few times, he realized that Duanfu was a castration.

Sometimes there are banquets in the mansion, and the little guests find Duanfu weird and can't help teasing him. Duanfu looks terrifying, but has a good temper.

It's Cousin Yu, whoever dares to provoke Duanfu will lose his temper. With Cousin Yu guarding, no one will dare to tease Duanfu again.

Du Shaotang thought, last night in the forest, if Duanfu hadn't resisted for a while, my sister might have died in the forest, so he added a respect to Duanfu.

"Duanfu, these are the two Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple." Du Shaotang said warmly, "Last night, you were the most injured, and your arm was broken. It is rare for the Taoist priests to come to the door in person. Take this opportunity to ask them to take a good look for you."

Duan Fu didn't respond to this, like a wooden stake, Du Shaotang scratched his head embarrassedly, Teng Yuyi patted Du Shaotang on the shoulder, motioned him not to worry, then turned around to look at Juesheng and Qizhi, and said solemnly: " Let the Taoist master laugh, my old servant is not good at words, but his heart is good, he was fighting with the tree demon at the time, it is estimated that the injury is not light, he refuses to say it, and can only trouble the two Taoist priests."

Juesheng and Qizhi nodded solemnly: "We will take a good look."

Only then did Duanfu react, and slowly his eyes fell on the two little Daoists.

The two cut off one of Duanfu's sleeves, and opened a finger-wide wound on their shoulders. White bones were faintly visible inside, and there was dead flesh rolled up by a snail on the edge of the wound. Fortunately, there was no blue or black. .

"His inner strength is deep, his blood vessels run faster than others, and he doesn't need to take pills. He can rest for a few days, but the wound still needs to be treated by a medical officer."

Being manipulated with a broken arm like this, someone else would have cried out in pain, but Duanfu sat quietly without even wrinkling his eyebrows.

Teng Yuyi said, "Duanfu, you have heard what the Taoist priest said."

Duanfu nodded.

"Have a good life and rest, wait for the medical officer to come to the door, you have to cooperate, be sure to ask them to take a closer look, don't leave the root of the disease."

Duanfu complied.

Teng Yuyi was relieved. When the group arrived in the court, Juesheng and Qizhi looked at each other and said, "Senior brother sent us here to clean up the remaining poison for the wounded and let us inquire about the bamboo forest that night. The monsters appear strangely. If you don't pull up the tree to find its roots, there will be a huge hidden danger. Madam Du has already woken up, why don't we go back to the backyard now and ask Madam Du to tell me what happened in the forest that night."

Teng Yuyi glanced at her uncle, isn't this coming?

Du Yuzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Du Shaotang was also busy giving Grandpa a wink: Grandpa, make up your mind. There is no way to hide. This is called courtesy and then soldiers. When Lin Chengyou comes to ask in person, he will never be so polite.

Du Yuzhi's facial features were tangled in a ball, his brows were loose and tight, tight and loose, and finally he made up his mind: "The little girl did remember some strange things, but please tell the two priests to the prince, it is about the privacy of the Du family, someone who knows The less the better, even if you want to say it, you can only tell the prince alone, and you need to ask the prince to keep it secret and not spread the word.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi stayed for a while, and could only tell senior brother alone?

Du Yuzhi was stern, saying that there was absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.

The two nodded blankly and said, "Okay, let's go back and tell Senior Brother."

Immediately, he said solemnly: "By the way, Pindao still has one more thing to talk about with Mrs. Teng alone."

Du Yuzhi and Du Shaotang looked at Teng Yuyi in surprise. Teng Yuyi smiled inwardly. This was agreed in advance. The Master of the Holy Spirit came to the door with a ticklish bug. She took out the jade sword for him to play with. It seemed that the Holy Saint did not forget what happened last night. Agreed, so he coughed: "Uncle, Shaotang, why don't you take a step first, and I will stay with the two priests to say a few words."

Du Shaotang became more and more at a loss, and wanted to ask a few questions, but he was afraid that Cousin Yu would be unhappy. Du Yuzhi held back his hands and did not say anything. His reasoning was not in line with the rules. However, these two little Taoists were only eight or nine years old, so they really had nothing to avoid suspicion.

There is a small flying wing pavilion in a corner of the garden, Teng Yuyi pointed to that side: "Two priests, why don't we go to the pavilion and talk."

The faces of Juesheng and Qizhi were tensed, but their footsteps moved away unconsciously: "We are very busy, and we have to leave after a few words."

Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded, letting Chunrong and Biluo stay where they were, and went to the pavilion with Juesheng and Qizhi.

Arriving in the pavilion, she took the lead in placing the jade sword on the stone table: "Here, two Taoist priests please appreciate it."

Juesheng and Qizhi pretended not to be interested in the Jade Sword, looked at the garden for a long time, but never saw Teng Yuyi speak, Juesheng finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Miss Teng, why don't you ask if we have brought Itchy bugs?"

Teng Yuyi was slightly surprised: "What itch bug?"

The two quickly looked at each other, what was going on, and why was it different than expected? Mrs. Teng took the initiative to take out the jade sword, but she didn't ask them for tickles.

The two looked at the Jade Sword in confusion.

It was too far away last night, and I never saw it for real. This will be placed under the sun. The sword on the end is glazed with precious colors, as smooth as ice.

Qizhi picked it up carefully: "It's really a fetish, but it's a pity that even the senior brother can't see the origin of this sword."

Jue Sheng was also full of praise: "It's strange to say, this sword looks like jade, but if it is really made of jade, how can it be damaged at all?"

Qizhi was about to open his mouth when he suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? I read it right, why didn't the sword light shine last night? Jue Sheng, take a closer look."

Jue Sheng rubbed his eyes: "It seems that something is wrong."

As he said that, he took out a black talisman paper from his arms, ignited a red glow, and went to burn the sword body.

Teng Yuyi grabbed the jade sword: "Daoist, what are you doing?"

Jue Shengyi said sternly: "Miss Teng, this is the talisman of Qingji. You can use it to test the spiritual power of the magic weapon. I see that something is wrong with this sword, and I am going to use this talisman to test it."

"Qing Ji Talisman?"

"That's right. The so-called 'Qingji' is the essence of the dry sea, commonly known as the water ghost. The water ghost has low mana but a lot of resentment. As long as the water ghost's corpse qi is smeared on the talisman paper, it can be used to check Taoist instruments. , If the spiritual power of the Taoist instrument is not damaged, the Qingji Talisman will go out when touched. But if the spiritual power of the instrument disappears, the fire of the talisman will never go out."

As Qizhi said, a talisman was lit at his fingertips and approached the emerald sword. The flames did not move at all, but when he replaced them with the peach wood sword in his own hands, the flames went out suddenly.

Qizhi and Juesheng were shocked: "Miss Teng, your sword has lost its spiritual power. If you don't believe Mama Teng, try it for yourself."

Teng Yuyi's eyes swirled back and forth on the faces of Juesheng and Qizhi, and she stretched her voice: "I don't need to see it. This sword was by my side last night, how could it lose its mana for no reason?"

"But the Qingji Talisman has never been a problem..." Jue Sheng pondered for a moment, "How about this, let's try something else?"

Qizhi took out the Zhentan Wood in his arms: "Try this."

The two put Zhentanmu in front of Qingji Talisman's talisman fire, and the flames went out silently. They tried it several times, but Teng Yuyi's emerald sword didn't work.

Qizhi's face tightened: "It's over, Mrs. Teng, the aura on your sword can't even compare to the altar wood in Guanli's hand."

Jue Sheng said anxiously: "Did you not enshrine the monster in time after taking down the claws of the monster, and the sword spirit was bound by the monster's aura? Madam Teng, you may not know that the more such an artifact is, the more careful it is to worship it."

"worship?"

"That's right, regular worship can keep the magic weapon alive."

Juesheng spread out his chubby hand: "Miss Teng, your sword spirit has been damaged. If you don't think about it quickly, it will probably become a waste."

The two of you said each other, the more you talk, the more mysterious you are.

Teng Yu's face was calm, but a drum was quietly beating in his heart.

The jade sword was obtained after she fell into the water on the way to Chang'an. At first, she only thought it was very kind. After waking up, she rubbed it day and night. Cheng Bo and Duanfu thought the sword was strange. in the water.

She had nightmares that night, and the next day she looked for the sword everywhere, but Cheng Bo and Duanfu had no choice but to get caught. It was strange that the sword did not sink to the bottom of the river, but was caught as soon as it was caught.

The sword came back to her, and all the ghosts and ghosts in the dream were gone, but even so, she never thought that the sword had any magical powers. She stabbed it in the forest last night in a hurry, only to know that it could deal with demons.

Does this kind of thing need to be worshipped? Never heard anyone talk about it before.

Jue Sheng saw Teng Yuyi's hesitation, and took the opportunity to say: "Ordinary instruments naturally don't need to be enshrined, but we have collected many ancient and bizarre artifacts in our temple. When it comes to the method of worship, there is nothing in the world that is better than Qingyun Temple. Madam Teng might as well give the sword to us, and return it to you after the sword recovers its aura. But you must first tell us where this sword came from."

Teng Yuyi stroked the body of the sword lightly: "It's okay to give the sword to the two Taoist priests..."

Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom's eyes lit up.

Teng Yuyi said slowly: "It's just that I still have several rare items, which were handed to me by my mother when she was dying. To be honest, the jade sword is just the most common one."

Juesheng and Qizhi's eyes widened slightly. The emerald sword was enough to open their eyes, but it was just the most ordinary one?

"If I put all my treasures in Qingyun Temple, I'm afraid it will be expensive."

The two secretly guessed whether Teng Yuyi's words were true or not, but she didn't ask the itch, she took the lead in putting the sword back on the stone table, and she didn't seem to care about the emerald sword.

Teng Yuyi said slowly: "If the Taoist priest is interested, I can order someone to bring the rest."

This time, even Qizhi couldn't hold back his anger, and said cheerfully, "Then please, we just happened to help Lady Teng get the Qingyun Temple to worship."

Teng Yuyi changed her words: "It's just—"

The two lost their voices: "How?"

"My instruments can't be enshrined in Qingyun Temple all the year round, and they have to be brought back one day. Can the Taoist master tell me what methods of offering Taoist treasures are available?"

The two were stunned. Today's actions were taught by their senior brothers. The truth is mixed with falsehood, and the falsehood is covered with a real shell. Only one of them is true. Taoist artifacts do have their own ways of enshrining them.

Since Mrs. Teng had already agreed to hand over the jade sword, there was no harm in talking about those innocuous words, because without the help of a Taoist priest, even knowing the method was useless.

Abandoned wisdom and said sternly: "Take senior brother's soul lock as an example, this thing is originally a worm, because the understanding is too low, and it can't be transformed after a thousand years of cultivation. Artifact spirit. It used to feed on bees when it cultivated, and now it still likes to eat sweet pulp. It needs to be soaked in a urn filled with sugarcane pulp every seven days, otherwise its spiritual power will be greatly reduced. ."

"This is the first time I've heard of a magic weapon that loves to drink sweet syrup." Teng Yuyi asked curiously, "What else?"

Jue Sheng: "There is also the Hengfeng Sweeper of Master, which is made of wormwood by Venerable Qinglian in Zhongnan Mountain. Venerable Qinglian has a simple temperament and does not like to serve people up close, so he used this Hengfeng Sweeper back then. He cleaned the Luyuan by himself, and poured his mind into the cleaning process. Over time, even Hengfengshou had spiritual power. After the death of Venerable Qinglian, Hengfengshao was made into a whisk and passed on to the descendants of the Zhongnan School. Qi Ling misses Venerable Qinglian, and will make trouble once a month, and the way to worship it is to use it to clean the courtyard, otherwise it will jump off the confession case and run wildly around the courtyard."

Teng Yuyi wondered: "Hey, how does a whisk run?"

Jue Sheng jumped up and down to demonstrate: "It's like this, one bounce and one bounce, it runs so fast, no one can catch it."

"Interesting and interesting." Teng Yuyi was overjoyed, "Having said so much, is there an artifact that eats insects?"

"Of course there is. There is a mysterious mirror in the view, which is transformed by the beasts that wear mountains. This mirror can recognize the ghost and clear the evil spirit. Feed it in front of the mirror, otherwise it will cry and howl in the mirror. Recently, the number of termites in Chang'an City has become less and less. In order to find termites, we don't know how many places we have to go. Later, the master used whiteworms instead of termites, and Xuanming Mirror ate them. Don't be picky."

Teng Yuyi was surprised: "Your brothers have turned the white worm into an itchy worm of the evil sect. Can't it be fed again?"

Ji Zhi said: "The itch bug has the use of the itch bug, and the white worm has the use of the white worm, which are not related to each other. Moreover, the white worm is easy to grow, just in time to feed the Xuanming Mirror in forty-nine days, and once the time limit is exceeded, it will be It doesn't work."

Teng Yuyi listened with interest, and asked casually, "It seems that the period of worship of artifact spirits varies. The minimum is a few days, and the longest is a few days?"

Jue Sheng said smoothly, and said, "Seven days at the shortest, several months at most."

Teng Yuyi said abruptly: "Huh? If there are only seven days at the shortest, I used this sword for the first time last night, how could something go wrong overnight?"

Juesheng and Qizhi are stupid, but it's just that they were too oblivious to what they said, and they accidentally slipped their tongues.

"Just relying on a Qingji Talisman, I'm afraid it cannot be judged that it has lost its spiritual power." Teng Yu opened his palm to the two of them, "Take out the itchy worm, whether the sword has lost its spiritual power, just try it with this evil worm. Know."

The two of them were twisted into twists in their hearts, they thought they had wrapped Mrs. Teng in, but they didn't expect that it was themselves who were wrapped in in the end.

If they refused to take it, it would be tantamount to admitting that they were trying to coax the Jade Sword and accidentally spread it out, and the reputation of Qingyunguan would be ruined.

But if she took it out, Mrs. Teng knew as soon as she tried it that the jade sword had not lost its spiritual power, then what the senior brothers explained to them today would be in vain.

They worked in vain, but not only did they fail to deceive the Jade Sword, but they also gave out a bag of itch bugs. If they knew that they shouldn't be careless just now, this lady Teng is indeed more cunning than they thought.

Teng Yuyi saw that the two didn't move, and pretended to be surprised: "Why, is it because the Taoist priest dare not try?"

Jue Sage Abandoned Wisdom hesitated, something like the jade sword might not respond to evil insects, just try it, it's a big deal.

With a little bit of luck, the two took out the [Itchy Flowering Bugs that make your life worse than death] from the arm cage, and put them on the table together with the antidote.

Teng Yuyi took a closer look. The pouch on the left was slightly smaller, quiet and solid, while the pouch on the right was bulging, and something was clearly wriggling.

When I opened the wriggling bag, it was full of green, emerald-green hard-shelled bugs crowded together.

Qizhi reminded Teng Yuyi: "Ms. Teng, this bug moves very fast, be careful to fly to you."

Teng Yuyi smiled and opened the other bag on the table: "It's fine if you have it, right? Here's the medicine powder? Thank you Taoist priest for the medicine."

Jue Sheng opened his mouth and nodded sadly.

Teng Yuyi untied the string, which contained **** powder, and got closer
