Capture the Jade

Teng Shao picked up the portrait and slowly paced under the lamp.

Teng Yuyi put down the pen and suddenly asked, "Grandpa, do you know Taoism?"

Teng Shao was startled: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Grandpa just needs to tell me if I will, I want to inquire about a few things about Taoism."

Teng Shao said warmly, "Grandpa certainly doesn't know how to do Taoism."

Teng Yuyi thought to herself, Grandpa didn't look like he was doing anything, so who helped her use this sorcery? Ever since Xiaoya learned about her origins, she has thought about all the relatives around her, and felt that no one would be able to do such evil Taoism. The adventure is also unknown.

But it doesn't look like Grandpa did it.

"I often hear people say that all those who survive in a catastrophe will be infected with some yin and evil energy because of their passing in the underworld, and I will suddenly be able to have strange dreams of predicting future events, which should be related to this. It's not surprising that he has an evil spirit in his body, so it will attract sneaky."

These words explain why she always encounters evil spirits.

"So as I see it, we don't need to go to the Abbot Yuanjue. These strange dreams are strange. If the abbot Yuanjue sees something, it may not be a good thing. The origin of the man in black is a mystery. Before my identity, I don't want to leak the slightest rumor in front of outsiders, not even the eminent monks of Dayin Temple."

Teng Shao pondered, this worry is not unreasonable, but the daughter has encountered too many evil spirits recently, how can a father sit idly by.

Teng Yuyi added: "Besides, my daughter said just now that Prince Cheng was annoyed by the bell last night, so he deliberately set up a formation inside and outside the mansion. Hu, why should we go to the abbot Yuanjue again? One more person who knows that there is something wrong with his daughter means more risk. Besides, if there are any rumors that are unfavorable to his daughter in the capital—

Teng Shao didn't care about these things. He only cared about his daughter's safety. It would be okay if her daughter's condition improved in a few days. If he still encountered sneaky people frequently, he would take his daughter to visit Dayin Temple at the risk.

He quickly made up his mind: "It's okay to let it go in advance, but this year there are important things to be prepared for in Beijing, and Abbot Yuanjue may one day suddenly retreat. At that time, we may not be able to see Abbot Yuanjue. Come on, wait for a while at most, if it still doesn’t work, grandpa has to take you to the Great Yin Temple as soon as possible.”

Teng Yuyi was stunned: "There are important things to be prepared for in Beijing? Why do you say that?"

Teng Shaolue pondered, this matter is not even understood by many ministers in the court. If he hadn't returned to Beijing to be the general of Zuo Wuwei for a few years when he was young, he would not have accidentally learned this secret of the royal family.

He recalled the strange dream that his daughter said, and knew that there was one thing that must be confirmed as soon as possible.

"You tell Grandpa first, you dreamed that Peng Zhen would rebel, but when did you dream that he started the army?"

Teng Yuyi calculated: "About the middle of this year, there will be a move, and the court officially ordered the crusade to be at the beginning of February next year."

Teng Shao's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Why did Grandpa ask that?"

Teng Shao nodded slowly: "It seems that Peng Zhen has figured out the opportunity to rebel. If he rebels this year, just in time for the sage to start a battle to heal his illness, and the sage is unable to take care of political affairs, so Peng Zhen's chances of raising an army will be better. ."

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, she had never heard of a saint with an underlying disease.

"What disease did the saint have?"

Teng Shao's expression was unpredictable. He walked to the table and sat down: "I remember that Grandpa told you last time that the saint grew up in Qingyun Temple before he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestry."

"Remember."

Teng Shao: "The sage's biological mother, Concubine Hui, was the concubine of the late emperor. She was very favored by the emperor during her lifetime. When Concubine Hui was pregnant with the sage, the late emperor had not yet ascended the throne. When she learned that Concubine Hui was pregnant, the late emperor immediately requested the decree to designate the saint as the future heir of the palace. , This incident aroused the jealousy and hatred of Concubine Yi, another concubine of the late emperor. At that time, Concubine Yi was also pregnant. In order to maintain her favor, she joined the same **** and spent countless efforts to set up a harmful game.

"When Concubine Hui was giving birth, she was framed by Concubine Yi and died of dystocia, and the newly born sage was brought outside the palace by Concubine Yi's people. Dao Changyuan was Concubine Hui's old friend, so he immediately hid his true face and tried to save the saint. After saving the saint, Qing Xuzi was afraid of being hunted down by Concubine Yi's people, so he kept his name incognito and took the saint to seclusion in Qingyun Temple.

"The Taoist priest Qingxuzi named the saint 'Ahan', taught the sage Taoism, and raised the saint with heart. Princess Cheng is another apprentice of Taoist priest Qingxuzi. She grew up in Qingyunguan since she was a child, and she is brother-in-law with the saint.

"Concubine Yi learned that someone had rescued Concubine Hui's child, so she used the birth dates of the deceased Concubine Hui and the saint to create an extremely insidious 'seven evil lock infant formation', using the grievances of Concubine Hui after her unjust death to suppress Because of the spiritual roots of sages, no matter what Daoist Qing Xuzi taught, the minds of sages are much more stupid than ordinary people."

Teng Yuyi was shocked and used her mother to restrain her son? Not to mention that what happened to Concubine Hui's mother and son was really miserable, what kind of heart does Concubine Yi have to come up with such a vicious situation.

"This matter didn't turn around until eighteen years later. In that year, Daoist Master Qingxuzi, Abbot Yuanjue, and King Cheng and his wife finally worked together to find Concubine Yi's eye, and they transcended the ghost of Concubine Hui, who had escaped into the devil's way. , and also found out the truth of Concubine Yi's murder of Concubine Hui's mother and son.

"The late emperor hated Concubine Yi so much that he not only killed Concubine Yi on the spot, but also abolished a group of Concubine Yi's children. He also learned that Concubine Hui had strayed into the devil's way because of the mutilation of the formation, and even if he succeeded in transmigrating, he would not be able to reincarnate. Just ask Qing Xuzi to start the formation and exchange the fate of Concubine Hui with Concubine Yi's fate, so that Concubine Yi will never be reincarnated, while Concubine Hui can be reincarnated smoothly."

Teng Yuyi was even more astonished. It turned out that as early as 18 years ago, someone in Chang'an used the so-called "change of life to borrow life" technique, and the person who presided over the life-changing formation at that time was Daoist Qing Xuzi.

According to this, will Qingyunguan hide the secret book containing the "life-changing technique"?

"The saint was mutilated by the Qisha Locking Infant Formation for 18 years. Although the formation of the formation can restore his intelligence, the residual evil spirit in his body will flare up every few years. Fortunately, although Concubine Hui has become a demon, She recognized that Ahan in front of her was her son. Before she was transformed, she took the initiative to sacrifice her lock spirit card. She was a 'demon' in the eye, and the demon was willing to offer the lock spirit card, which meant that the Qisha lock The infant formation is no longer the formation of 'harming children', but the formation of 'protecting children'.

"The Spirit Locking Card is divided into two parts, one is submerged in the body of the saint, and the other is submerged in the body of Cheng Wang Linxiao, who was present at the time. With these two Spiritual Locking cards protecting each other, even if the evil spirit in the saint's body occurs once every three years, It also does not damage the sanity of the saint. As long as the lock spirit cards are combined into one when the formation is launched, the evil spirit will be calmed down immediately."

"If another Spirit Locking Card is in King Cheng's body..." Teng Yu said with measure, "That is to say, every time you start the formation to detoxify the saint, does King Cheng need to be present?"

"Yes." Teng Shao said, "Sages can't live without another Spirit Locking Card. As long as the time passes, the suffocation will endanger the saint's sanity, and others will inevitably have bad thoughts, but Cheng Wang Linxiao is upright and upright. In the past 18 years, the husband and wife have never slack off in protecting the saints, thanks to their dedicated support over the years, the saints have always been healthy."

Teng Yuyi was secretly frightened, no wonder Lin Chengyou's nobleness was beyond the reach of any of Chang'an's sons and daughters.

"So Yu'er, you should know why the saint and the queen love the three brothers and sisters Lin Chengyou so much. In addition to a natural bond of flesh and blood, there is also gratitude and repayment to the sister and sister who have been protecting each other over the years."

Teng Yuyi nodded, picked up the already cold tea cup in his hand, and took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

Teng Shao added: "This matter should not have been leaked, but when Daoist Master Qingxuzi and Abbot Yuanjue crossed Concubine Huahui, there were many ministers present, even if the court kept silent about it, there was still a little bit of rumors leaked after the event. It's time to start the battle again this year. It's still a mystery when the sage attacked, but no matter what, the Cheng Wang couple will definitely rush back to Chang'an before that. If the king and the sage form a battle, the sage will not be able to lead the fight against the rebellion, then Peng Zhen's chances of winning will be much better."

Teng Yu thought about it for a while, thinking that Peng Zhen had been planning for this for many years, so in the previous life Chang'an suddenly appeared so many rebels with sorcery skills. Fortunately, she had already informed Grandpa about this, and then Grandpa would always Not to be unprepared.

In addition, she also remembered that the saint in the previous life was not only in good health, but also personally commanded the campaign to suppress the rebellion. It can be seen that Peng Zhen's tricks failed in the end.

She was about to speak when a scene suddenly flashed in front of her.

That time, because Lin Chengyou sealed her Xiaoya sword, she had a very deep nightmare. In the dream, she not only experienced all kinds of things before her death, but also dreamed about what happened three years after her death.

I remember her wandering spirit wandering in Grandpa's sacrificial temple, and she saw many eunuchs who came to clean up. While the eunuchs were chatting, someone suddenly ran in to report that Lin Chengyou accidentally confronted Tubo in Kunfang Mansion. He was shot by a secret arrow. Although Lin Chengyou caught him on the spot, the arrow was smeared with highly poisonous poison, and the poison soon broke out. Lin Chengyou knew that he would not survive, and told his subordinates not to tell Daoist Master Qingxuzi about this. .

As a result, the news reached Chang'an, and King Cheng and Qing Xuzi were so anxious that they rushed to Kunfang overnight...

Thinking of this, Teng Yuyi's heart jumped a few times, and she had no way of knowing what happened next, because she was soon woken up by an old voice.

She didn't know what happened to Lin Chengyou later. She thought it was just a dream. After all, she had never experienced all this before, and she couldn't figure out who would hate Lin Chengyou enough to take his life. But now that I think about it, will that scene in the temple herald anything?

According to the calculation of time, three years later, when the sage is about to attack, and the location is in the far away Kunfang, the Chengwang couple and the Taoist priest Qingxuzi are bound to leave Chang'an in order to save Lin Chengyou.

If Lin Chengyou is good or bad, it is hard to say whether King Cheng and Qing Xuzi can come to form a battle in time. In this way, the evil spirit in the saint's body will inevitably collide with the mind.

When the monarch falls, the court will be shaken.

She hurriedly told her grandfather about the dream.

"The imperial court has successfully suppressed the rebellion, Peng Zhen's party has been wiped out, Shuo Fang's army has successfully repelled the Tubo army, Lin Chengyou has successfully rescued the siege of Kunfang, and good news has been reported from all directions, but suddenly someone plotted against Lin Chengyou. , King Cheng and Taoist priest may not be able to come back."

Teng Shao was really shocked.

"Could it be Shu Zuo sent by Tubo?" "I only vaguely heard in my dream that Shu Zuo had been in Lin Chengyou's army for a long time. When Shu Zuo plotted against Lin Chengyou, it seemed that no one was prepared."

Teng Shao's heart set off a surging wave, a little soldier suddenly plotted the head coach, there must be someone behind the scenes.

After plotting against Lin Chengyou, it is logical to transfer King Cheng and Qing Xuzi from Chang'an.

This is indeed a three birds with one stone. If the daughter's dream is true, then apart from Peng Zhen, there are very likely people in the DPRK who want to rebel.

Peng Zhen is in the light, and the man is in the dark.

Teng Shao pondered and paced back and forth. Even if he completely believed his daughter's words at this moment, he still needed time to clear his mind.

"On King Cheng's side, Grandpa will send someone to remind him immediately. King Cheng is a cautious person, and he will take full precautions when he finds out." Teng Shao said.

Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"As soon as King Cheng gets the news, the imperial court will also make preparations. But now I only know that Peng Zhen is against his will, and there is another person behind the scenes, Grandpa will start to investigate as soon as possible."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said: "That person quietly set up such a game, regardless of the city's government and strategy, people will be admired, grandpa, you—"

"Grandpa knows." Teng Shao looked at his daughter with relief. Before he knew it, her daughter was almost on his shoulders. The father and daughter clearly talked about the sword, light and sword in their dreams all night, but he was a father. Felt unprecedented.

He rolled up the picture: "it's getting late, go back to your room to sleep first. The things you said are very important. Let Grandpa think about it tonight."

This conversation between the father and daughter lasted for two hours, and when Teng Yuyi returned to her small courtyard, it was almost midnight.

The strange thing is that Teng Yuyi doesn't feel tired at all, and the secrets in her heart have a place to go. Grandpa's firm eyes make her feel that she is no longer a ghost walking alone in the dark, and the strings in her mind are taut from time to time. At least you don't have to worry about being assassinated even in your dreams.

Her heart was full and her thoughts were quiet, and this sleep was sweeter than ever before.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but a slight itching on the tip of her nose woke her up.

"Get up quickly, you little lazy bug." A sister's smiling voice came from her ear.

Teng Yuyi opened his eyes in a daze, and in front of him was a pair of clear and gentle eyes.

She turned over lazily: "Sister, don't be noisy, let me sleep for a while."

"Still sleeping, the trail master is here." Du Tinglan fished her sister out of the quilt.

Teng Yuyi's sleepiness subsided, and she hurriedly got out of bed to wash up.

Juesheng and Qizhi were waiting for Teng Yuyi in the garden, and when they saw Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan coming over, they said happily, "Miss Teng, Madam Du."

Teng Yuyi laughed so hard: "Oh, I'm going to bed late, I've made you wait for a long time. Uncle Cheng has prepared breakfast. Let's have breakfast first."

This is what the two sides agreed on yesterday, Juesheng and Qizhi nodded happily, and Mrs. Teng didn't know what to do, but she looked refreshed, and they handed the lacquer box in their arms to Teng Yuyi: "This is for Lady Teng's."
