Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 13

[Chapter 12]

After Lin Chengyou said that, something popped out of his fingers, and the strange force under Jue Sheng’s feet suddenly disappeared. He moved his sore feet, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only move it back honestly.

Qizhi was confused and followed behind, Jue Sheng did something good and was caught by his senior brother.

Depressed, Jue Sheng walked to Lin Chengyou and stood up, Lin Chengyou hooked his finger: “Take it out.”

Jue Sheng obediently handed over the package, Lin Chengyou poured it out, and smiled when he saw it: “It’s getting more and more restful, you all know it. I stole something from the view.”

Qizhi’s eyeballs almost fell out: “Ah, there are so many worms! Jue Sheng, what are you doing with this?”

King Chun’an teased Said: “Needless to say, this must be the name of Ah Daqiu, Yu Fengyu, have you heard of this kind of monster?”

Yu Fengyu narrowed his eyes: “I have never heard of it. Little prince, this is probably brought here again. You can make fun of people.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “It can prolong life if you cook and eat it. If you like it, I will give you a few.”

Yu Fengyu knew the character of this child, so he was so frightened that he said: “No need to. , No need, the prince should keep playing by himself.”

Juesheng wiped his sweat secretly during this time, Lin Chengyou’s eyes swept over, and Juesheng froze to the core.

“Who do you want to give so much to?”

“Teng, Mrs. Teng.”

“Which Mrs. Teng?” “The Mrs. Teng who

lent the sword to senior brother yesterday.” Jue Sheng murmured, “Last night I asked Mrs. Teng about the situation in the bamboo forest. At that time, Mrs. Teng asked me to show her itchy bugs.”

His voice couldn’t be lower, and his head couldn’t be lower.

The King of Chun’an County pondered: “Miss Teng who was in Ziyun Tower last night… Could it be Teng Shao’s daughter?”

Lin Chengyou stroked his chin, Mrs. Teng he naturally remembered that last night he and her worked together to seduce the old demon, he still remembered it, but he couldn’t remember what she looked like. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that the girl Wearing a power fence at night.

“Then what?” Lin Chengyou stared at Jue Sheng.

Jue Sheng became more and more uneasy: “Ms. Teng said that her jade sword can’t deal with our itch bugs. I listened to curiosity and agreed to give her a few when I came to the door today…”

“She knows this itch bug. Is it useful?”

“I know…I know.”

Lin Chengyou snorted, very good, this was calculated on Qingyunguan’s head, presumably because he saw that this silly boy was jealous of the jade sword, and deliberately used it as a bait to let Jue Sheng steal it. worms for her.

“She fooled you with just a few words?”

Jue Sheng hurriedly shook his head and nodded again in shame.

“Have you ever thought that she deliberately showed you the Jade Sword just to get itch bugs from your hands?”

Juesheng twisted his fingers ashamedly: “Miss Teng…she doesn’t look like a bad person.”

“She doesn’t look like a bad person?” Lin Chengyou didn’t get angry but smiled, “Do bad people write on their faces? You just met her once, and you don’t even know her details. She casually bluffs you with an emerald sword, and you steal the itch for her. , next time she wants to see other exotic treasures, won’t you steal it for her too?!”

Jue Sheng shivered with fright, no, this time brother seems to be really angry, wiping his tears while peeking at brother , and sure enough, there was no smile in the eyes of the senior brother.

He thought in a panic, senior brother can play tricks on others, but it is absolutely impossible for others to play tricks on him. Madam Teng not only coveted the things of Qingyunguan, but almost succeeded. Let it go.

“I’m dazed.” Jue Sheng’s tears fell, “I shouldn’t steal the things in the hall just because I’m greedy for a magic weapon from outsiders. I, I, I did something wrong, no matter how my brother punished me Okay, I will never dare to do it again next time.”

Lin Chengyou slipped Jue Sheng’s collar, and took him out of the scripture hall: “It’s useless to make a verbal guarantee. If you don’t punish you severely, you will be stupid in the future.” Qizhi

was anxious . , Senior brother is in a fit of anger, and if he really wants to punish him, it’s not as simple as copying scriptures and punishing him for kneeling.

He hurriedly chased out with his Taoist robe: “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, Mrs. Teng was able to help us out last night, Jue Sage has always valued friendship, so it’s probably because of the desire to repay that she couldn’t bear to refuse, so just read in Jue Sage. For the sake of the first offense, please forgive him this time.”

Lin Chengyou stammered: “You don’t have to rush to intercede for him, it will be your turn soon. Last night, on the festival, you and Juesheng sneaked out privately and watched Baixi again. Chewing on sautéed pork skewers again, you’re very happy.”

Qizhi covered his mouth and almost forgot about it. After they were caught last night, the senior brother had already used the opportunity to set up the formation to punish them not to eat meat and fish for a year. This matter has been revealed, but I didn’t expect that one yard will return to one yard, and the next move is waiting here.

In fact, in the past, senior brothers often caught them breaking the precepts, but senior brother himself was an unruly person, so most of the time he turned a blind eye. I was almost taken advantage of by a little lady.

Jue Sheng cried: “Today’s affairs are all because of me, and I went out to see Qizhi last night. I beg senior brother to punish me alone, please forgive Qizhi.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded: “Okay, you can excuse each other, anyway, every time you excuse each other, you will add 100 each!” The

two of them bit their tongues in fright.

Lin Chengyou took them straight to the most secluded Yunhui Hall in Guanli, a huge hall, surrounded by bookshelves that reached the sky on all sides.

“Give me a good kneel first.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi fell into a ball, sobbing and nervously following in the footsteps of their senior brothers.

Lin Chengyou conjured something out of nowhere, patted it in the palm of his hand, and slowly walked towards them.

The two of them shivered. This is the ruler that the master used to teach his senior brothers. This thing is dark and heavy, and it will leave deep bruises when it falls on the body.

In the past, when the senior brother got into trouble, the master often took out this heavy ruler, but when the roar returned to the roar, the old man was not willing to fight it even once.

His Royal Highness Cheng Wang was different. As long as he heard that his brother had made trouble, he would definitely come to personally punish his son with this ruler, and his brother was beaten a lot.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi hugged each other and cried, what should I do?

“Take your hand out. Don’t want to be punished? Well, then I’ll change it.” Lin Chengyou gestured to turn around.

“I’m willing to be punished.” The two hurriedly stretched out their hands. Anyway, they couldn’t escape a beating. The ruler was always stronger than other strange punishment methods.

“Senior brother, did we know that we were wrong, woo woo woo.”

“Where is the mistake?”

“The disciple has violated the first and seventh precepts in the view.”

Qizhi cried, “The disciple has committed the second rule. And the seventh commandment.”

“Going out of the temple without permission, deceiving the teacher, stealing the things inside the temple, eating the inside and outside, what else are you afraid to do? In my opinion, there is no need to punish, and you will be directly expelled from the teacher’s door!

” As if struck by lightning, he took a few steps on his knees and hugged Lin Chengyou’s legs: “Senior brother, punish us severely, please don’t drive us away, we are people of Qingyunguan in life, and we are ghosts of Qingyunguan in death.”

“Let go . .” Lin Chengyou frowned in disgust.

The two refused to let go: “If we leave, who will play with your little leopard in the future? Who will accompany the senior brother to set up the formation? After the master returns, who will make the old man’s porridge…”

Lin Chengyou remained unmoved: ” Raise your hands.” The

two of them raised their hands high, but after waiting for a long time, the ruler did not fall into their palms, and they were feeling strange when the senior brother suddenly picked them up again, opened his eyes, and just I couldn’t tell the dark eyes of anger and anger towards Senior Senior Brother.

“Jiechi, one person gets 500 yuan, one person is confined, and one person needs to be locked up for three months.”

Before the two of them could be happy, a basin of cold water was poured over their heads. The so-called “confinement” is a small quiet room. It is less than five feet wide, like a cage.

Those who were sentenced to confinement would face a scroll of scriptures every day, and copy from morning to night. Because there were no windows, they didn’t even have the chance to take a break.

One month can be boring, and three months is enough to turn a person into an idiot.

It’s useless to plead for mercy, who told them to suffer for themselves, and this is better than being expelled from the division.

They fell to the ground and cried, “The disciple is willing to receive the punishment.”

Lin Chengyou changed his words: “But—” Juesheng

and Qizhi each put a fat fist into their mouths and waited anxiously.

“I remember that you still have important tasks today, and I will give you a chance to make up for your faults. If you do well today, you may be exempted from confinement. If you do not do well, you will come back and be punished honestly.”

Juesheng and Jizhi never imagined that they would survive in a desperate situation, and nodded violently while crying. This tossing is more terrifying than direct punishment. In the future, they will never dare to steal the contents of Guanli to outsiders.

“You still go to Teng Mansion according to the original plan. After seeing Mrs. Teng, do as I said.” Lin Chengyou turned around and pointed to the bookshelf, ”

Take down the “Wuji Bao Jian” first.” He patted his knees and tiptoed to remove a book that was spread out.

Jue Sheng looked at the past, and he was familiar with this book. It recorded the most treasures of Taoism in the world, from the treasure of Lilong to the seal of the city god. “Chixiao” is also on the list.

The scroll is open, and it can be seen that the senior brother has already checked it after he looked back.

“Ms. Teng’s jade sword can slash the flesh of monsters, and I want to come here, but I have searched the “Wuji Baojian”, but I can’t find any records about this sword. Her grandfather, Teng Shao, returns every year. Chang’an debriefing, if he gets such a sword, there will be some rumors in Chang’an City, but even Qingyunguan has never heard of this sword, so it can be seen that Lady Teng may not have gotten it from her grandfather, you directly ask the sword The origin, she may not be willing to tell the truth, today you go, use my method to get her words out.”

Qizhi and Juesheng muttered in their hearts, Senior Brother did not know how many rare treasures he had seen since he was a child. Although the emerald sword is rare, compared to the treasures in the Guanli, it is only a hair’s breadth. I don’t know why my brother is so interested.

Lin Chengyou seemed to know what they were thinking, and patted their heads lightly with a ruler: “Last night in Ziyun Tower, after Zhongsha emerged from the ground, they once abandoned you and me, and turned to chase the group of people under the corridor, At the time, I thought they were running towards the wounded, but I remembered later that those evil creatures were all transformed by grass and trees. The things that attract them strongly. After thinking about it, among the group of people, only the emerald sword is the most special.” Qizhi scratched his

head in puzzlement: “That’s not right, when encountering such a magic weapon, Shamei often avoids it, how can it be avoided? Will you take the initiative to join in?”

“If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so we have to figure it out.” The

two nodded, a little puzzled in their hearts, just wanted to know the origin of the sword? It doesn’t seem to be in line with senior brother’s style to spare Mrs. Teng just like that.

Lin Chengyou raised his eyes to look at them, and suddenly smiled: “Besides, there is one more thing.”

After Jue Sheng and Qizhi heard Lin Chengyou’s explanation, their faces were tangled, and they knew that offending senior brother would not end well. But they were too busy to take care of themselves, how could they dare to intercede for Lady Teng.

“But, but Mrs. Teng doesn’t seem to be so easily fooled.”

“Not fooled? Let me ask you, what does she want?” The

two said blankly, “I want bugs.”

“…” Lin Chengyou, “You say that worms are worms. Since there is greed, I’m not afraid that she won’t be fooled.”

He smiled maliciously, and he dared to count his things.

The two kept Lin Chengyou’s words firmly in their hearts, and when they came out, they found that the robes on their bodies were soaked.

Back at the scripture hall, An Guogong greeted him with a cane: “The old man has already measured the size of my wife’s feet.” As

he said, he handed the paper with the footprints to Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou just took it, the king of Chun’an County. He put down the tea cup and said, “The lady Teng that Juesheng said just now is Teng Shao’s daughter?”

Lin Chengyou deliberately asked, “Who?

” I have a life-saving grace, you can trouble others, but don’t trouble the Teng family.”

Lin Chengyou made a “hiss” in his mouth, put his hand on his forehead, and frowned deeply. The Prince of Chun’an

County smiled angrily: “Look at you, every time you talk about serious business, you are like this.”

Lin Chengyou squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: “Yu Fengyu.”

His expression was obviously not right, An Guogong threw off his cane and was busy helping Lin Chengyou, but one step too late, Lin Chengyou held his forehead and fell down.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi rushed up: “Senior brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Yu Fengyu said urgently: “The old son has suffered from an old illness. Last night, when the saint heard that the young son was injured, he had been worried about this for a long time, but he didn’t expect this to happen. I’m about to fall ill, hurry, hurry up and help the prince to the couch.” The

Prince of Chun’an supported Lin Chengyou and said solemnly, “In the past, it didn’t happen until April every year, why is it so early this year?

” Sheng He Qizhi was in a state of anxiety. Last night, the senior brother injured his heart when he fought against the old demon. After returning, they have not made time to check their injuries. They were worried that the senior brother would affect the old disease. They did not expect this delay. .

Lin Chengyou closed his eyes tightly, and in the blink of an eye, his white forehead was already covered with beads of sweat. The onset of this disease was fierce and urgent. It was like a sharp awl was stirring in his head, and the pain was unbearable. Endless.

He rolled over on the couch, unable to speak in pain, but fortunately his mind was still awake. Before he lost consciousness, he reluctantly raised his arm and pointed to his front.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi saw it clearly, and anxiously took out a jade dew bottle from Lin Chengyou’s clothes.

Yu Fengyu just opened the medicine box with trembling hands, and his eyes lit up when he saw this: “Quick, quick and let the prince take

it.” After taking the medicine, Yu Fengyu took out a pack of silver needles and told the king of Chun’an County: “His Royal Highness Help the little prince, and don’t act rashly when applying the needle.”

Lin Chengyou’s face was pale, and he didn’t say a word. In just a short moment, his clothes were sweaty inside and out, and now he can barely hold himself, but if the pain continues, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not lose his mind and struggle.

The Prince of Chun’an had a solemn expression and supported Lin Chengyou according to his words.

The people in the room were worried, but luckily the treatment was timely. After Yu Fengyu gave the last injection, Lin Chengyou’s eyebrows finally stretched out.

An Guogong wiped his sweat: “Okay, see you.”

Chun’an County King breathed a sigh of relief: “Every year, I have to be frightened by this kid every year. Sigh. But today’s incident is too sudden, and it happened before March. If Yu Fengyu was not here, you would have suffered!”

Lin Chengyou lay on the couch, put his back on his forehead lazily, and said with a smile : “The pain is over in advance, and there is no need for the pain in March.”

Prince Chun’an turned to look at Duke Anguo and Yu Fengyu: “Look at it, the pain was like this before, and it looked like nothing was wrong when I turned back, just let him hurt for a while. I have a long memory. Yu Fengyu, is there no way to cure this disease?”

“How to cure it? It’s not easy if there is a way to restrain it.”

Lin Chengyou rolled over and sat up, and Chong Juesheng and Qizhi waved their hands, meaning that he was alright and wanted them to go to Teng Mansion to do business quickly.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi endured for a while. Seeing that the senior brother laughed freely, they said goodbye and wanted to leave. At this time, the side room door suddenly opened, and the two old guards hurried out and said, “It’s not good, senior brother, Dinghunxiang is flickering. Suddenly extinguished, Qingxin Talisman is about to run out.”

Everyone was shocked, An Guogong looked at Lin Chengyou in a hurry, Lin Chengyou restrained his smile, and waved at Jue Sheng and Qizhi: “You two don’t go away, write a few pieces of Qingxin first. Let’s go again.” After saying that, he got up and walked into the side room.

Juesheng and Qizhi spread the cinnabar and inkstone on the table, one to grind ink and one to write characters.

Yu Fengyu and Prince Chun’an couldn’t help, so they had to stay in the main hall.

Yu Fengyu put the silver needle into the box and asked the Prince of Chun’an: “His Royal Highness just mentioned the removal of the root cause of the disease, but Yu did not even know why the little prince got this disease. If Your Highness knows the reason, can you explain it in detail? Say.”

Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a while, Senior Brother’s illness came and went like the wind, they have been kept in the dark in the past, and it was only when they accidentally bumped into Senior Brother’s attack the year before, they knew that Senior Brother had a stubborn illness.

Later, they heard that the disease was not caused by the fetus, but the root of the disease caused by the indiscriminate use of spells by the brother when he was eight years old.

But they still don’t understand why the brothers practice that spell so well.

The Duke of Chun’an looked at the closed side door and smiled slightly: “This is a long story, and Chengyou has always been the most taboo for others to mention him.”

Yu Fengyu said: “Yu did not intend to inquire about privacy, everything It is all for the sake of curing the illness of the prince. After today’s incident, His Highness should also understand that taboos against the doctor will never remove the root cause of the disease. The Taoist priest Qingxu is not in Chang’an now, and the sage has entrusted the illness of the prince to Yu. Although Yu I have known for a long time that the prince has a chronic illness, but I am still at a loss as to what happened back then. This time I made a mistake and got it right in time. Who knows what will happen in the future? Therefore, Your Highness need not worry, just tell Yu the cause of the illness. A certain. When the prince comes out, Yu will ask again in person.”

The Prince of Chun’an waved his hand and smiled: “Don’t ask, he won’t say anything if you kill him, but what Yu Fengyu said is right, it’s not right to keep the source of the disease, so it’s not right to hide it blindly, if that’s the case, then I will Let me tell you what I know, and I hope to find a way to cure the root cause of the disease as soon as possible, so as to save myself from suffering every year.”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi subconsciously raised their ears.

The King of Chun’an County scooped up a spoonful of light-colored tea soup with a silver fence, grabbed the sleeve of his robe and poured tea for Yu Fengyu.

Juesheng and Qizhi dare not come out. King Chun’an is the younger brother of King Cheng, but the two brothers are not from the same mother. Years after the death of his original wife, King Lan married another successor, Chun’an County. The king was born from the successor. His name was Lin Min, and he was called Min Lang. He was sixteen years younger than King Cheng.

Because of this, although Prince Chun’an is the uncle of the senior brother, he is only a few years older than the senior senior. When he gets along with the seniors, he is not like the elders but the elders. He knows the affairs of the seniors better than anyone else.

Every time I see the King of Chun’an, Juesheng Qizhi thinks that he has a fragrant body and is as tender as jade, but King Chun’an is notoriously slow, and this time was no exception. The two waited and waited. , never waited for him to speak.

Yu Fengyu sipped the tea slowly, and didn’t seem to be in a hurry. Seeing that the cup of tea was almost finished, the King of Chun’an County said leisurely:

“This is a long story, when Chengyou was just born, The Taoist priest Qingxuzi gave him a divination, saying that Chengyou was going well everywhere, but his marriage was not going well. Chengyou, I didn’t expect that when Chengyou was seven or eight years old, he actually learned to divination. Once he made a divination for himself for fun, and the result was the same as the divination calculated by his master

. He didn’t want to believe this kind of thing, so he ran to Daoist Qing Xuzi to give himself a divination.

“Daoist Qingxuzi categorically refused, and also scolded Chengyou. Chengyou guessed that there was a difference, and after practicing for a few months, he made a divination, but it was still the same hexagram.”

Speaking of this, the Prince of Chun’an laughed: “Chengyou happened to be studying in Chongwen Hall at that time, because he didn’t believe what the hexagrams said, so he gave himself a divination if he had nothing to do, but it was a pity that the result was the same every time. There is no impermeable wall in the world. His actions in private have been seen, and those friends who often play with Chengyou always make fun of him.

“Not long after, Chengyou went to Lin’an with Princess Cheng . When the Hou Mansion went to the banquet, the old Hou Ye was a veteran of the three dynasties, and it was the year of Yiyi. The sage heard about this and gave the old Hou Ye a reward and greetings. Therefore, not only did most of Chang’an City’s noble family go there on that day To celebrate, many officials from other places came to celebrate the birthday. That is, in the Marquis of Lin’an Mansion, Chengyou met a girl doll from Yangzhou.

Yu Fengyu asked, “A girl from Yangzhou?” The

Prince of Chun’an County hummed: “I don’t know who the girl belongs to, she’s only four or five years old, she doesn’t like to talk, and holds a shabby little puppet in her arms. , I heard that he was born very good-looking, and he spoke with a Yangzhou accent. At that time, Chengyou and his friends were playing in the garden, and when he got tired of archery and wrestling, he proposed to play hide-and-seek in the garden.”

The author has something to say: Chongwen Museum is not as close to the people as Guozijian. , generally only royal family members are accepted.
