Capture the Jade

Juesheng and Qizhi sent a round of Qingxin Pills, and asked Chang Rong to instruct the chef to make a large amount of Fu Tang. When everyone in the room almost recovered, they ran to Teng Yuyi and said, "Miss Teng, are you alright?"

Du Tinglan hurriedly said, "my sister is speechless now."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were stunned for a moment: "How can you be speechless?"

Teng Yuyi gestured twice in Du Tinglan's palm with the hilt of the sword, and Du Tinglan whispered, "The prince has poisoned my sister with a dumb poison, I wonder if the two little priests have an antidote?

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were shocked, how could Senior Brother give Teng Niangzi a dumb poison? Eh, but then again, the senior brother and Mrs. Teng have never stopped since they met. Either the senior brother cast a spell on Mrs. Teng's magic weapon, or Mrs. Teng's hidden weapon shot the senior brother, or Mrs. Teng made the senior brother dumb, or the senior brother made Mrs. Teng mute. .

"We don't have an antidote." Qi Zhi was anxiously turning around, "Senior brother is busy dealing with corpse evil now, so I don't think I have time to pay attention to anything else. When I ask my senior brother, I will find a chance to ask for the antidote."

Teng Yuyi nodded gratefully, not expecting to ask for an antidote, but it was always right to try, and asked Du Tinglan to ask them, "Where did the little Taoist go tonight?"

"Don't mention it." Juesheng said sadly, "We were caught in the golden-clothed young master's trick. Didn't Senior Brother arrange a large number of monks and Taoists to patrol inside and outside Chang'an City? In the afternoon, the seniors on the outskirts of the city suddenly entered the city to ask for help, saying that outside the city A village found a dozen mummified corpses, all of which were nearby residents. They were all killed by biting off the blood vessels in their necks. It was also said that two little ladies had just been kidnapped, and it was suspected that it was the corpse evil and the golden-clothed son. .

"Senior brother, in order to save people, rushed out of the city with Wudao of Dongmingguan without a word, and finally followed the trace of the corpse's escape to save people, and sealed the corpse in time, but it turned out that it was just an ordinary corpse. Fei Zhexie, he knew that it was not good, and rushed back from the south of the city temporarily, but after all, he was separated by more than half of the city, and he almost didn’t come back. Hey, the first time my brother was tricked by monsters, it is estimated that he is full of fire now.”

Qizhi added: "That's all, Mrs. Teng, Mrs. Du, you may not know that before the senior brother left, he deliberately set up a nine-day demon formation inside and outside the Chengwang Mansion. No matter what kind of demons it has, it has to be afraid of the formation, and the senior brother started to set up the formation from the first two days, with a lot of effort, I thought you were absolutely safe in the mansion, but the corpse evil still broke in. "

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other, no wonder Lin Chengyou's face was so ugly.

"But fortunately, there is this formation to guard, and the corpse can't find other helpers. Otherwise, when it attracts the golden-clothed son or the low-level murderous corpse, the inside and outside of the house will only be in a mess."

At this time, Commander Chang made arrangements to come back and heard the words: "No wonder Zhexie was alone all night, even if he wanted to find help temporarily, he could only use the method of turning people into puppets, the little lady of Meng Situ and Li Buque. Missing, Gu Xian Gongzi, Liu Mao, Liu Quan are all bewitched, oh yes, and Lu Zhaoan Lu Gongzi, I don't know if the prince has found anyone now, I will trouble the two little priests to take care of them, I have to quickly dispatch people help."

Jizhi and Juesheng hurriedly took out the talisman from their arms and said, "Lord Chang, be careful. This is the talisman drawn by Master before your travels. It is stronger than the one we drew. Changtong's tie can block the evil."

Chang Rong put the talisman in his arms and went to find Lin Chengyou on his own.

While watching the recovery of everyone, Jue Sheng said to Teng Yuyi: "Senior brother said that the ancestor of Dongmingguan suppressed the two monsters, and if you want to catch the corpse evil, Dongmingguan's help is indispensable, so the senior brother just put the Wumei Tianxian Dao Chang also brought it, I was afraid that the chaos just now would let the corpse escape."

Jue Sheng's material is good, but after half a cup of tea, Chang Rong left and returned, saying that the corpse evil had run away as early as when the prince returned to the mansion. All those who had died were found. Lady Meng and Lady Li were thrown into the camellia bush in the garden, while Gu Xian and others were thrown into the lake. Fortunately, when Gu Xian was thrown into the paper ball made by the talisman roll, His sanity recovered a bit, and after falling into the water, he became more awake after being agitated by the cold water, and with a sigh of relief, barely swam back to the shore.

Just in time for the monks at Qingyun Temple, Gu Xian instructed them to fetch Lu Zhaoan and others. After some rescue efforts, they all survived, but they were still not fully awake, and Lu Zhaoan was the most injured. It was heavy, and two arms were removed on the spot.

In addition to detoxifying them, Lin Chengyou also found another medical worker to diagnose them. Now the wounded have been placed in the wing, waiting for the monks to feed the talisman soup.

During the conversation, the servants brought requiem soup. With the encouragement of Juesheng and Qizhi, everyone carefully walked out of the back room. They saw that the flower hall was in a mess, as if it had been swept away by a violent storm, the door was broken, and the rear window was After being folded in half, the low couch, table, and rope bed were smashed into pieces.

Qizhi said that the corpse evil can manipulate a puppet, and it can make a sick and weak human being infinitely powerful. Besides, the three young men who were manipulated just now are still lucky.

As soon as everyone drank the Requiem Soup, Lin Chengyou came in with Azhi on his back, followed by a few fat old Taoist priests, namely Seeing Heaven, Seeing Immortal, Seeing Beauty, Seeing Joy, Seeing Joy. A group of people are still neatly dressed, but their faces are extremely ugly.

Wu Dao said as he walked: "I'm tired and old, and I don't know how the ancestors caught it. This thing is really too difficult to deal with."

The other man pouted, his face full of unhappiness: "I sweated all over, and the robes of the poor Taoist are all sweaty. Shizi, where is the clean room in the mansion?"

Another person was holding his stomach: "Poor Dao is now empty in his stomach. I don't know if the house has prepared hu cakes or hoto, and harassing the prince, just come and fill your stomach with a bowl."

"Hey, the prince is most sympathetic to the old and the poor. After catching this half-wann demon, why would the prince only send me to wait with Hu cakes? Don't be impatient, Shaoan, wait for the kitchen to cook plain food."

As soon as these five Taos came in, they talked a lot, and they almost regarded Chengwangfu as their own Taoist temple. Everyone looked at each other in amazement, but Teng Yuyi was not surprised. When she went back to Dongmingguan Jiesha Linghuan last time, she had learned the style of this "five beauty fairy way". Taoist priests are clearly like scumbags in the market, but she did not expect that these people are so reckless outside.

"Sir, you don't have to make it too complicated for supper, just four dishes and two soups." Wu Dao hummed and walked to the top, and sat down on the table one after another.

Lin Chengyou instructed the servants: "Did you hear? The five masters are tired of catching monsters, and are about to make a good supplement. Hurry down and prepare. Let's have seventeen or eight dishes first, don't starve the master."

The next person bowed and left.

Although the people in the flower hall were still in shock, they couldn't help but lower their heads and laugh when they heard this. A plaque was hung in the water pavilion where the poetry meeting was held in the afternoon.

The font is correct and elegant, but the strength is a little tender. I don't know if it was written by the first son and the second son when they were young, or by the current master of Azhi County. In short, no matter who wrote it, it can be seen that the Chengwangfu does not advocate extravagant food. Ease. Lin Chengyou instructed the chef to make so many late-night snacks for Wumei Taoist priests, which was clearly satirizing Wudao's "no saints and no virtuous people".

How could Wudao hear this, only when Lin Chengyou deliberately promoted himself, his face became more and more happy, but before they were complacent for long, he heard Lin Chengyou say: "From now on, the Taoist priests will live in the mansion for a day. If you don’t catch the corpse, you can’t neglect the Taoist priest for one day. You go to Dongming Temple and fetch the clothes and towels of the five Taoist priests.”

The smiles on the priests' faces faded.

"Prince, it's unnecessary." Could it be that the corpse evil could not be caught, and they couldn't leave the Chengwang Mansion?

Lin Chengyou sighed: "I think it's very necessary. Several sages and dragons see their heads but not their tails. When they were discussing the formation of an array to catch demons in the past few days, they couldn't find any trace of you. It's better to gather them in one place. It saves the time and effort of going back and forth.”

The five people were dumbfounded. In the entire Chang'an City, the one they were most jealous of was Qing Xuzi. As long as there was any trouble in Qingyun Temple, they would not be able to escape their five pairs of small eyes. Speaking of Qing Xuzi's little disciple and grandson, they also looked at it. Growing up, they have deeply experienced this kid's ability to toss people. If he really wants to be locked in Chengwang's mansion, he may be picked up by Lin Chengyou in the middle of the night to catch demons. In the first half of the month, their old bones will be handed over to him. Become a palace.

"No need!" Seeing Daoist Immortal standing up first, he said with a smile, "We've been disturbing all night, the matter is over, we should also leave, if the prince tomorrow wants to discuss the matter of catching demons, no matter when, ask someone to give it to Dongmingguan. Just send a letter. The son does not need to send each other, I will take a step first."

The five of them were about to run away, but they would soon be surrounded by servants happily: "The Taoist priest will stay, the vegetarian food has already started, and the bath soup is ready. The Taoist priest can take a bath and eat."

Lin Chengyou watched Wudao being put back in place, and then said to several old servants beside him: "There are a bunch of files I got from Dali Temple in the study. You bring the things here, we are waiting for them here."

The old servant hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Lin Chengyou was about to put Azhi down behind him, and Azhi's expression changed: "Brother, I'm afraid!"

Lin Chengyou touched Azhi's forehead, and checked her pulse. After confirming that her sister was doing well in every way, she turned her head and said to Azhi, "Don't be afraid, the monster was chased away by your brother, the house is very safe now, you I'm nine years old, and I'm not a child, come down, brother still has something to discuss."

Azhi grimaced: "That brother can't leave me."

"Brother is by your side."

Azhi dawdled for a while before getting down, her little hand still holding Lin Chengyou's hand, and she would not let go.

Lin Chengyou had no choice but to take his younger sister and apologize to the room full of people: "Today, you are invited to the poetry festival, how do you know that such a thing has happened, and you are all shocked, and I am extremely ashamed, and I have given you Fu soup just now. If you still feel unwell, I will ask Yu Fengyu to give you a pulse."

Everyone had heard Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi explain the whole story before. There was a large formation inside and outside the palace, which was theoretically the safest place in the city. Lin Chengyou himself would never have imagined such a thing. Thinking that even the Princess Jingde was frightened to death tonight, Lin Chengyou would never feel better than them, even if someone had a confused mind, they would leave them in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Tonight, that evil person said that. Just come, Cheng Wangfu said that the damage is the most serious, why should the prince be ashamed, it is just an innocent disaster."

At this time, the old servants were holding many trays, and as soon as they came in, they said to Lin Chengyou, "Sir, you have brought them back."

Teng Yuyi put down the soup bowl in his hand, looked up and saw several rolls of bamboo slips stacked on the plate, looking at some years old.

Lin Chengyou asked the old servants to put down the trays, and said to everyone: "The corpse evil broke into the Chengwang mansion, I don't care, I will send the Taoist priests from Dongmingguan and Qingyunguan to each other to ensure that you can return to the mansion safely. I'm afraid, but I'll take a night's rest at Chengwang's mansion, and it won't be too late to return to the mansion after dawn."

Most of the people who join the Poetry Society today are young men and women. The oldest are seventeen or eighteen years old. The youngest, such as Azhi and Wang Shiyi's little lady, are less than ten years old. It was only because he was afraid of the corpse that he did not dare to move. Hearing that Lin Chengyou had arranged such a comprehensive arrangement, he immediately got up. Except for a few little ladies from the civil servants who planned to leave at dawn, the rest all followed the Taoist priests out of the house.

Azhi asked the maid to lead the little ladies to the guest room. In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left in the flower hall.

Lin Chengyou saw that the person was almost gone, bent down and picked up a scroll of bamboo slips from the tray and said, "This corpse evil looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. If you want to deal with her, you must first find out who she was before her death—"

Juesheng and Qizhi looked at each other, and suddenly said: "The county master just said that when the monster came tonight, it was Mrs. Teng's magic weapon that resisted it for a while, brother, why don't you let Mrs. Teng tell me what the corpse is like? ?"

The Taoist priests in Dongmingguan had long been envious of Teng Yuyi's jade sword, and after hearing this, he became energized: "Oh? Is this sword alone? Madam Teng, please tell me about the situation at that time."

Teng Yu pointed at his throat and sighed leisurely, saying that he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Qizhi took advantage of the situation and said, "Senior brother, it's important to catch the demon. As long as Mrs. Teng can speak, maybe the mystery can be solved."

Azhi began to shake Lin Chengyou's arm: "Brother, think of a way to help Madam Teng detoxify."

Teng Yuyi saw that Lin Chengyou's face was not good, and the bad breath in his chest was relieved to some extent. Lin Chengyou was shooting himself in the foot. He poisoned her on the front foot, and the corpse evil came to the door on the back foot, although it was because of his nine-day demon The formation of mutual protection prevented the corpse evil from killing, but after all, they were frightened in the ear room, and he didn't know it.

Lin Chengyou was not happy, but she was happy.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, she wasn't in a hurry. Tonight, she was the only one who fought the monster head-on. He must want to know some clues from her. Therefore, he was puzzled by this poison and had to solve it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chengyou stared at her for a while, then coughed as if nothing had happened: "I have other plans for Mrs. Teng. Let me tell you the origin of the corpse evil first."

Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a moment, Teng Yuyi's forehead jumped, and she almost stood up from the seat. Du Tinglan grabbed Teng Yuyi and leaned into her ear and said, "Don't worry, you can't speak now, and you can't quarrel with him. , he won't give you an antidote, just take a look first."

Teng Yu thought about it for a while, and this makes sense. If Lin Chengyou didn't want to detoxify her, he would have forcibly sent her and his cousin away, so he breathed evenly and showed a calm smile again.

Wu Dao kept urging: "Sir, what is the origin of the corpse evil?"

Lin Chengyou opened a scroll of bamboo slips and said sternly, "To deal with the corpse evil, we must first understand what happened to the corpse evil before his death. If it wasn't for a passage written by the Taoist priest Dongyang Zi on their visions of the spectacle a hundred years ago, I would also check it out. I can't figure out who this corpse evil was before he was alive. It's a pity that the Dongming Guan Yizhi from a hundred years ago has been preserved to this day, and only some fragments are left. It should be her, this woman has been dead for a hundred years, and she was just sixteen years old when she died."

Teng Yuyi had always wondered why the corpse evil was staring at him, and was suddenly curious about this. Juesheng and Qizhi also put aside the detoxification and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

Azhi couldn't wait for the servants to serve, and moved the lamp closer: "Brother, what is the origin of this woman?"

The bamboo slips have been damaged, but fortunately the handwriting is still intact, it is estimated that they have been specially sealed.

Lin Chengyou clicked somewhere on the bamboo slip: "Dongyangzi wrote in Yizhi that in order to track down the corpse evil, he chased all the way to Fanchuan, a southern suburb of Chang'an. There was a deserted village nearby, and there was a tomb inside. There is only one empty coffin left, and it is full of evil spirits in a radius of ten miles. Judging from the tombstone in front of the tomb, the owner of the tomb was born in the year of Gengxu, died at the age of sixteen, and turned into a corpse evil ten years after his death.

"The year of Gengxu was the time when the previous dynasty was overthrown, that is to say, the year when the woman died coincided with the great chaos in the world. At that time, the emperor of the previous dynasty fled to Guangling and was captured in Guangling. Soon after, the country was destroyed.

"Dongyangzi was born blind. Knowing the birth and death years of Zhexie, he immediately took two apprentices to touch the tomb, but found nothing. The tombstone only recorded the birth and death years of the woman. As for her death Who is her surname, her parents' clan, why she died... There is no record left. Dongyangzi doesn't know the details of the corpse evil, and naturally he can't find her weakness, so even if he has a high level of Taoism, he will meet with him later. When Zhexie and Jinyi Gongzi fought, they were unfortunately killed.

Dongmingguan Wudao cried: "My poor ancestor."

Lin Chengyou can't let them make noise: "Thanks to this record of Senior Dongyangzi, I have determined the birth and death year of Zhexie and the location of the tomb. As long as these two points are in place, things will be much easier to handle. I arrived yesterday. Shang Shu omitted to check the historical materials of the previous dynasty. Unfortunately, many historical materials of the previous dynasty were destroyed due to the great turmoil. I could not find out the reason based on the date of birth and death of the woman. I had to start with the abandoned village of Fanchuan where the woman was buried. Only a hundred years ago, the public records of the previous dynasty knew that this so-called abandoned village was located in a palace of the abolished emperor from the previous dynasty.

"Because of a war, the palace was burnt to the ground. After all, Daoist Dongyangzi couldn't see. He noticed that the palace was desolate, and mistook it for a deserted village."

Teng Yuyi nodded secretly. How could ordinary people have the opportunity to look up these historical materials of the previous dynasty? No wonder that Daoist Dongyangzi couldn't find out the life of the corpse evil even when he died.

Everyone was shocked: "Buried in the palace of the abolished emperor, is this woman a palace maid or a royal family?"

"The royal family or the concubines, otherwise they wouldn't dig a tomb in the palace, but I don't know why they concealed their identity, and only an anonymous monument was erected after their death."

Seeing Xiandao's long way: "Could it be the concubine that the abolished emperor had captured? She was regarded as a prisoner during her lifetime, and it is not surprising that she has no name after her death."

These words were quite indecent, and Du Tinglan's face turned red.

Lin Chengyou glanced at Azhi. Azhi held his chubby cheeks in both hands. He heard it with gusto. He frowned: "It's too late. You have to go back to the palace tomorrow morning, so go back to bed first."

Of course Azhi refused to obey: "I won't stop, I also want to know the origin of the corpse evil."

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid anymore, I just want to hear my brother tell stories."

Lin Chengyou took Azhi up and carried her out: "Tomorrow, brother will tell you a story, it's too late today."

Azhi twisted around on Lin Chengyou's back: "I don't! I want to listen to it for a while."

However, how could she beat Lin Chengyou, and she was forcibly sent away soon after.

The rest of the people in the flower hall looked at each other, saw Mei stroked her beard, and took the initiative to speak: "Even if it is the emperor's ban, there should be a surname, either Xu's or Zhang's, not just one word. Do not stay."

Teng Yuyi met, it was really unusual, the emperor took Wanmin as his son, even if the woman's origin was not seen again, as long as the emperor deliberately created a high-sounding identity for her, it would not be difficult.

Lin Chengyou returned to the flower hall and reopened a scroll of bamboo weaving: "After I found out that the woman may be a member of the royal family, I checked all the records about the corpse evil. The master once said that the corpse evil is born in troubled times, and more than It takes a hundred years to get a corpse. To become a corpse evil, one of the three is indispensable. Abandon wisdom, you come."

Qizhi was caught by his senior brother for the exam, and hurriedly straightened his spine: "People who are corpses are often extremely sinister, either physically strong or plagued by diseases. This is one of them."

There was a murmur in the hearts of everyone, the abolition of the emperor and the rule of the world, I do not know how many beautiful women I have seen, and logically will not bother to support a sick seedling that is not destined to live for a long time, it is estimated that this corpse is extremely strong.

"Secondly, the so-called 'evil corpse' is indispensable for the word 'evil'. Those who can be evil corpses often have a vicious temperament before they are alive. Those who have good intentions or are not vicious enough will not be able to transform into evil spirits after death. to live."

Teng Yuyi nodded secretly, this is not bad. Tonight, the corpse evil's means of driving everyone to a desperate situation step by step is really chilling. Thinking about it, it was completely broken before death, and it became even more vicious after death.

Qizhi continued: "Thirdly, corpse evil cannot be obtained without dying in vain. Only those who died in vain can suffocating qi reach its peak at the time of cessation of qi. In addition to catching up with the chaotic world, the red star is seen in the east, the white comet is dry at the moon gate, and the yin and yang are eroding. , the qi of heaven and earth is reversed (note), only then can this most evil and ferocious corpse evil be transformed."

Lin Chengyou added: "As I said just now, the year Zhexie died was just in time for the overthrow of the previous dynasty. It can be said that the right time and place are right for people, so it only took ten years for her to break out of the ground."

Jian Mei sighed with tears: "The ancestors died at the hands of the corpse, and now it has come out to do evil again. As disciples of Dongmingguan, how can I just sit back and ignore it?"

Juesheng and Qizhi touched their heads, you didn't say that just now, if it wasn't forcibly detained in Chengwang's mansion by your senior brother, you would have gone back to Dongmingguan to lie high.

Seeing Xi wiped away her tears with her sleeve, she said angrily, "Who is Zhexie's last name, and what is her birthday? Only by knowing this can we restrain her. Has the prince checked it out?"

"The Taoist priest looks down on me too much." Lin Chengyou said, "No matter how anxious you are, you can only check it step by step. I scoured the preserved historical materials, and there are very few records about Fanchuan's palace. The relics in front of the palace that recorded the words and deeds of the emperor once wrote: On the Dragon Boat Festival, Sima Jin in Yangzhou presented a hundred sugar crabs, and today he immediately ordered fifty to go to the Fanchuan Palace.

"Sugar crabs have always been a tribute. The fresh and fat ones are the top grades. One piece is worth a hundred gold. It needs to be sent to Chang'an by fast horses from Guangling. In the fifth year of Maode, the woman was only seven years old, and if she had lived in the palace at that time, then it is very likely that she was not the concubine of the abolished emperor or the ban."

Everyone was shocked: "Is it the daughter of the abolished emperor who was raised outside the palace?"

Lin Chengyou touched his chin, but he didn't say yes or no.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan looked at each other, as princesses, there was nothing to hide.

All the talk went on and on: "Even if the princess' biological mother status is lowly, it is enough to give the emperor a title. Why should the princess be left with an unnamed monument after her death."

"Yeah, I've never heard that the princess could only live in the palace before her death, and she couldn't recognize her ancestors after her death."

Lin Chengyou said: "Just thinking about Zhexie, it really doesn't make sense, so why not think about Ziexie's mother, maybe the identity of this Ziexie mother is unbelievable to the world, so she doesn't even have a name with Ziexie."

Teng Yuyi's eyelashes twitched, and the meaning of these words is very clear. No matter how low the status of the princess' mother is, she only needs an imperial decree to become the emperor's woman, unless the woman can't accompany the emperor in a lifetime.

The five old Taoists stared wide-eyed: "Isn't the prince saying that Shixie's mother married another husband, so even though Shixie is a princess, she can't recognize her ancestors and return to the clan."

Lin Chengyou said, "I'm just guessing, or it's—"

Should this be said? Just now, he was only concerned with coaxing his sister to sleep, but he forgot that Teng Du and the other two were there. He was so thick-skinned that he had moments when he couldn't say it. That's all, Teng Yuyi was very smart, and he could guess without saying anything.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they slowly became aware of it. There is also a possibility that the abolished emperor had lucked out the wife of a certain minister, or even had an incestuous act, such as his mother concubine, cousins, etc., and the abolished emperor gave birth to him. A daughter, but because she has to take care of the face of the imperial family, she will never recognize this daughter in her life.

Maybe later the emperor also considered finding a minister for his illegitimate daughter to recognize his father, but because the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, there was no time to go to the genealogy, so after the death of the corpse, only an unnamed monument was left.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Teng Yuyi looked at his nose and nose at his heart, if that was the case, it would make sense why the corpse evil had been secretly kept in the palace.

Jianxi coughed to break the embarrassment: "This is already a hundred years ago, if it wasn't for the cemetery where the corpse was found in the abandoned village in Fanchuan, the future generations would never be able to speculate on the identity of the corpse. The master also can't get the historical materials of the previous dynasty, and it is estimated that even if he guesses something, he thinks that many things do not make sense.

Qi Zhi said strangely: "Senior brother, there is still a little bit of confusion. Shizun said that Zhexie likes to be alone, why would he get involved with that golden-clothed son?"

Wudao said, "You should ask the other way around. Young Master Jinyi was transformed by a golden bird in Zhongnan Mountain. His Taoism is profound and his methods are cunning. There are many Taoist priests who have dealt with him, and there are many Taoist temples in detail. , it is romantic by nature, and likes to be with women—cough, corpse evil is a filthy dead thing, and has always been cold and ruthless, why does this golden-clothed son not find his own happiness, why has he kept up with the corpse evil?"

Lin Chengyou said: "Do you remember where these two monsters were suppressed before they broke out?"

"Caifeng Building in Pingkangfang, a brothel."

Lin Chengyou put the bamboo slips back to the case: "The brothel was opened by a giant named He Mingsheng in Luoyang. Since it opened six months ago, strange things have happened in the building. When rebuilding the Caifeng Tower, the craftsman accidentally smashed the stone tablet in the backyard. For fear of being scolded by the master, he kept it a secret. Thirty days ago."

Jue Sheng snorted: "Could it be that the two monsters broke out of the formation not because they smashed the stele, but for another reason?"

"Besides this, there is one more thing that I don't understand." Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi strangely, "Miss Teng, Zhexie seems to be very interested in you, you should know about this."

Teng Yuyi slandered, knowing that you will detoxify me soon? As soon as she raised her eyes, she met Lin Chengyou's inquiring gaze, her heart trembled, Xiaoya repeatedly told her to borrow her life, and also said that her recent encounter with evil spirits was related to this. It was because of the so-called fate that Lin Chengyou also became suspicious of her identity, so he looked at her like that.

"The corpse likes to gouge out hearts, especially the first heart that is obtained after the battle. We inspected the dozen or so mummified corpses in the south of the city this afternoon. But none of the corpses have their hearts dug up, so it can be seen that although the corpse evil has been unearthed for a while, it has not yet found a suitable first heart, why it suddenly stared at Lady Teng, I also feel puzzled."

Wu Dao looked at Teng Yuyi strangely: "Ms. Teng, it's not that Pindao wants to scare you, the corpse evil is no different from ordinary people, except that there is a heart missing in her chest. After she goes out, in order to fill her own hole, she will Keep digging the hearts of others, once you set your sights on a prey, you will never die. I hope what happened tonight is just a coincidence, if the corpse evil really takes a fancy to you, it will be more fortunate than good."

Teng Yuyi became more and more uneasy, suddenly felt a heat in his sleeve, and hurriedly made a gesture on the sword body: Is there evil?

Xiaoya not only did not calm down, but became more fiery.

Is not it? She was full of doubts, what did the little old man want to do, and at this moment, something in his sleeve stood up and drew a word on her palm.

After thinking for a while, she realized that it was the word "Yu".

Yu? What does this mean? She looked around, facing Lin Chengyou who was reading bamboo slips.

he?

Xiaoya Hua said: Find him and kill the corpse.

Teng Yuyi suddenly understood that Xiao Ya was still thinking about the idea of ​​borrowing her life, trying her best to urge her to deal with the corpse evil herself, and knowing that she could not deal with the corpse evil alone, so she asked her to remove the corpse with the help of Lin Chengyou.

Isn't this a joke? When Lin Chengyou dealt with the corpse evil, how could he bring a burden by his side, and took ten thousand steps back and said that even if he was willing to cooperate with her, it was him who made the effort after all, so how could he ensure that the good news of slaying the demon would be recorded on her head.

But when she thought about it, she felt that Xiaoya's idea was not necessarily a whimsical idea. Lin Chengyou is a master who doesn't eat hard and soft. Ordinary methods will not work, but if you want to do extraordinary things, it has always been difficult for her.

At this time, Juesheng and Qizhi were a little panicked: "Senior brother, is Madam Teng really the first prey of the corpse evil?"

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: "I'm not sure if it's the first one, after all, there were three women who saw the illusion in Caifenglou that night: Ge Jin, Juanerli, and Lady Teng, but they were chased by the corpse evil tonight. Visiting Prince Cheng's mansion at least shows that it is very interested in Lady Teng."

Du Tinglan's voice trembled a little: "How about that? Shizi, isn't there a way to get rid of the corpse as soon as possible?"

Teng Yuyi thought in her mind how to convince Lin Chengyou to take her to eliminate the demon, showing a honey-like smile, and pointed at Lin Chengyou's throat, meaning that I have something to say, ask the prince to detoxify me first.

Lin Chengyou looked at her with interest, but remained silent. Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth, she had reached this point, and he still didn't plan to detoxify her?

Jue Sheng said urgently, "Senior brother, Madam Teng is in an extremely dangerous situation. If the corpse evil goes to the Teng Mansion to intrude, she won't even be able to speak, how can she call for help?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, please help Mrs. Teng."

Even Wudao said, "Sir, if you have a way, give it to Lady Teng."

Teng Yuyi saw that Lin Chengyou had not spoken for a long time, and asked the maid behind her to ask for a pair of ink for her, then picked up the pen and wrote a line: Shizi, you should know how dangerous the penthouse is tonight.

Lin Chengyou got up and paced around the table, smiling and looking at Teng Yuyi: You reminded me of the situation in the front room, are you threatening to repay the favor?

Teng Yuyi smiled: The prince thought too much. But it's a fact that you owe me a favor. After all, Azhi is your sister.

Lin Chengyou: Are you sure you want me to make it clear?

Teng Yuyi: Could it be that you still want to default on your debt?

The two of them come and go, and there is a hidden edge in their eyes. How can others see it clearly? Qi Zhi curiously pulled Lin Chengyou's sleeve: "Senior brother."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Ms. Teng, have you ever thought about why Azhi invited you to attend the poetry party in Fuzhong today?

Teng Yuyi silently looked at Lin Chengyou.

He smiled: "This is my idea. I've been looking for the whereabouts of the two monsters for the past two days, and this morning I stumbled upon some demonic aura near your Teng Mansion. I'm worried that the two monsters will find trouble with you today. I invited you to enter the mansion. This move is not only to test the two monsters, but also to protect you. I set up a nine-day demon formation in the mansion a few days ago, which is enough to resist the demons. Although this formation failed to stop the corpse, but in the end Suppressed her ferocity, otherwise why didn't she kill someone tonight? You can't deal with her with your jade sword alone."

Teng Yuyi was stunned, she had long wondered why Azhi invited her to meet only once, so it was Lin Chengyou's meaning.

"So Mrs. Teng understands, if it wasn't for Azhi who invited you to your house, and if it wasn't for my formation to protect you, you would most likely have been miserable tonight."

Speaking of this, he stopped, Teng Yuyi, you can think clearly, do I owe you a favor, or do you owe me another favor?

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi wrote a few lines of words, got up and gave a deep bow: The great kindness of the prince, I will keep it in my heart, I just mentioned the matter of the ear room, not to threaten kindness, but the prince should know that even if the formation can be powerful, it will also She couldn't hold back her demagogic methods. Before that, she had turned many people into puppets. After that, in the ear room, almost everyone lost their minds. This method is more terrifying than killing someone by hand. Not being injured by the puppet will also be too frightened, Shizi, this should not be suppressed by a formation.

Lin Chengyou took the paper handed over by the maid, glanced at it, and said nothing. Okay, what you said is also reasonable. I owe you this favor, but one yardage is one yardage. How to repay the favor is up to me.

Teng Yuyi: You can detoxify me first.

Lin Chengyou looked innocent, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about Mrs. Teng's voice, Ms. Teng doesn't know Taoism, so it doesn't matter if she can speak, but I promise, I will never let the corpse be hurt by evil spirits. When it comes to you, if you lose a hair, I will pay you a hair."

Everyone was stunned, what does this mean?

Lin Chengyou looked at Ye Leo: "I will send you back to the mansion later, Juesheng and Qizhi will stay in Teng mansion, and in the next few days, they will stay close to protect Lady Teng, and I will also stay in Teng. Outside the mansion, if there is any change, I will be there whenever I am called.”

Teng Yuyi was stunned, Lin Chengyou would rather be her guard than detoxify her?

Although Du Tinglan was also shocked, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Chengyou returned unruly, but I heard that he has always made heavy promises, all of which are committed to the hair, and Ayu's situation should not be too dangerous. Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were only nine years old, and it was reasonable for Amei to be invited to live in the mansion for a few days as a distinguished guest.

Juesheng and Qizhi are overjoyed and live in Teng Mansion? Great! The two boxes of Yulu Dumplings last time were delicious. I wonder if Mrs. Teng would serve them with vegetarian food every day after staying in Teng Mansion.

Lin Chengyou said again: "Ms. Du, although this corpse evil is aimed at Madam Teng, it has many tricks. If you go back to the mansion, I am afraid that it will go to Du's mansion to find you in order to torture Madam Teng. You'd better these few days. He will also live in Teng Mansion, and return to his own mansion after he has subdued the corpse evil."

Du Tinglan was a little apprehensive, and turned to look at Teng Yuyi
