Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 15

[Chapter 14 (1)]

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 shyly: “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, tears fell like broken beads, Teng Yuyi silently patted Du Tinglan’s shoulder After waiting for her to calm down a little, she held her breath and asked, “Sister, what happened afterward?”

Du Tinglan wiped away her tears and managed to calm her mind: “I am determined to retrieve those letters, for fear that A-Niang will find out that I have left. Jingfu’an, hurry up to the bamboo forest, who knew that a large number of servants came from outside the bamboo forest, and a curtain was set up in front of the forest to prevent passage. I only found out that Prince Cheng is going to take a shortcut to Yuedeng Pavilion for Cuju.”

“Prince Cheng? ”

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

Teng Yuyi thought to himself, that was the case, Lin Chengyou clearly made people Feng Lin, but my sister can still 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 thought of the scary man. In this scene, her face turned pale in an instant, Madam Du was stroking and comforting, 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 the appointment at all, or he has not yet arrived at the bamboo forest.”

Teng Yuyi sneered: “When Duanfu and I went in, no one was seen except the monster, and after saving the next sister, no one was snooping or wandering nearby. Mrs.

Du was trembling with anger: “What a bastard! I guess he either escaped 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 as usual , actually carrying my mother and father on my back… that’s all, it’s still such a shameless person!”

Du Tinglan didn’t regret it, paid 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.”

Even though Madam Du was annoyed, she finally felt that her daughter was wrong. Feeling aggrieved, 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 bastard 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 speaking, Du Yuzhi and Du Shaotang came, Mrs. Du didn’t wait for the father and son to look at Du Tinglan, and talked about what happened 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 who knew he was a despicable person.

“If it wasn’t for the fear of ruining Lan’er’s reputation, I would expose this person’s conduct 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, I will report Lu Zhaoan to the Ministry of Officials on the grounds that he has not repaid the loan. At that time, this villain may not even be able to keep his fame, let alone pass the selection test.”

Madam Du was stunned: “Master can’t even get an IOU. Lu Zhaoan not only won’t commit crimes, but I’m afraid he will frame the old master for framing him.”

Du Yuzhi said, “I’m confused! Then go ahead and check, a villain like him will come to Chang’an for more than three months. , there are always misconducts. Once I find the wrong place, I will immediately find my old friend at the Censor Desk to impeach him. As long as I can sue him, it will be regarded as a traitor to the court. I will also write to Yangzhou. Be sure to inquire about this person’s actions in Yangzhou.”

Du Shaotang has always had a strong relationship with her sister, and 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 find someone to use a cloth bag to cover this bastard with a headache and beat him.”

Mrs. Du shouted: “You come back! Be careful, 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 softly: “This is not possible, that is not possible, then what should I do.” As he spoke, 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 could not find out Lu Zhaoan’s misdeeds. It can be seen that this person 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, this talent was impatient to erase it.

Du Yuzhi said angrily: “Don’t be afraid, I’ll go out and make arrangements.”

Teng Yuyi said coldly: “Uncle, what are you planning to do?”

Du Yuzhi said angrily, “Let Dong’er find someone and hire eight or nine people from the market. , 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 people?”

Du Yuzhi was stunned: “This… “…”

“Hiring so many people to investigate is a lot of money. If there is no clue for ten days and a half, when will it be found?”

Du Yuzhi frequently stroked his beard: “Then keep investigating! As long as you can Strictly teach that bastard, it’s a big deal to sell some permanent production!”

Teng Yuyi said: “So where does my uncle plan to start the investigation, and how to negotiate with those people in the market?”

Du Yuzhi snorted coldly: “I will go out in person, I don’t believe that the arrangement is not good. thing.”

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 are not afraid of anything else, they are afraid of leaking Laner’s privacy.

Teng Yuyi said seriously: “I have a word, I don’t know if my uncle would like to hear it.”

Du Yuzhi waved his hand impatiently: “But it doesn’t matter.”

“Can I leave this matter 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 is uncertain, his salary is only enough to support the family, in order to save money, many servants have been dismissed long ago, there are not many strong servants in the family, all of them are old and weak women and children, if you don’t care about going to the West City to hire people, smash them in. The money is indeed not 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 patiently waited for his uncle to let go. It was normal for his uncle to have a stern temperament, and it was normal that he could not save face.

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 Yuer and Laner said was that they were afraid that they could not find Lu Zhaoan’s cause and would harm Laner. Master, just do as Yuer said and leave this matter to the old men of her brother-in-law. Come on.”

Du Yuzhi sighed heavily: “That’s enough, I blame the old man for being incompetent.” As soon as the words came out, he

suddenly realized that the words were misunderstood, cleared his throat, and said strangely, “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. Upon closer inspection , there are many suspicious points.”

Madam Du and Du Yuzhi were surprised and doubtful: “Could it be that you suspect that the monster has something to do with Lu Zhaoan?”

Teng Yuyi snorted: “This matter is still inconclusive, but Lu Zhaoan just asked his cousin to go to the bamboo forest, That monster appeared. If it is purely a coincidence, I don’t believe it. Today’s sages hate demons and crooked ways. If it is found that Lu Zhaoan recruits evil spirits to harm people, this person’s career will be ruined, and he won’t even think about it in the future. Chang’an City will stay.”

Du Shaotang regained his spirits, ran to Teng Yuyi and said, “Cousin Yu, how should we check it?”

“We don’t know about Taoism, but fortunately someone is checking it now, as long as you think about it. This person is suspicious of Lu Zhaoan, and he is 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.”

Madam Du measured: “The Taoist priest Qingxuzi is not currently there Chang’an—”

Suddenly thinking of one person, his eyes widened: “Is the first son of the prince?”

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

Teng Yuyi asked. Raising his eyebrows, his uncle rarely showed such a frightened expression on his 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. Can’t we hide Lu Zhao’an’s affairs?”

Teng Yu said in a thoughtful manner, “Auntie, don’t forget, Prince Cheng sent a small Taoist priest to ask about the bamboo forest last night, and my aunt felt that even if we didn’t say anything, Prince Cheng would Wouldn’t they do a detailed investigation?

Du Shaotang couldn’t help coughing. He had a classmate of Guozijian whose grandfather was an official of Dali Temple. Lin Chengyou.

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

He timidly said to his grandfather: “If it hadn’t been for the Six Yuan Pills given by Prince Cheng, my sister would have died a long time ago. If 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 sense of coolness on their backs. Du

Shaotang added, “As of now, the best way is to tell the truth. If you really have to wait until Prince Cheng finds out what to do, then don’t expect to win him.” assisted. As for the sister’s private meeting, 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 a prince 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. Teng Yuyi

said, “Although I don’t know much about Lin Chengyou’s character, but this gentleman is the eldest son of Chengwang and his wife, and he has been taught by Qingxuzi for so many years, no matter how absurd it is, there is a bottom line. The most important point is that, no matter 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 protect the person, and with Lin Chengyou’s temperament, Lu Zhaoan will definitely be let go. Can’t eat and walk around. ”

In this way, how much energy is saved in Teng Fu and Du Fu.

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

Du Yuzhi pursed his lips stubbornly, However, his heart has loosened. Today, for some unknown reason, he has been repeatedly challenged by his old wife and juniors. He is the head of the family. Even if he agrees in his heart, he is reluctant to show it on his face.

During the stalemate, the servants came in and said, “Master, Madam, the two priests from Qingyun Temple are here. ” Madam

Du’s eyes lit up: “Please invite them in.”

Du Tinglan waved to Teng Yuyi: “Ayu, help me get dressed. Clothes.”

Teng Yuyi got up and went around behind the screen, and after a while, Juesheng and Qizhi were led in by their servants. The two stood in the room and said in unison, “Poor Dao is polite.”

Du Yuzhi returned the salute with a straight face. : “Two Taoists, please take your seat.”

Juesheng and Qizhi pretended to be old-fashioned: “Pindao came to visit the wounded, and rested for the night. I don’t know how many wounded people are awake.”

Du Yu knew: “Wake up . I woke up, but I was vomiting and didn’t dare to call for a medical officer without authorization, just waiting for the Taoist

priest to check.” Jue Sheng snorted: “This is the residual poison that has not been cleared, and some prescriptions for clearing the poison will do. Mrs.

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

” After Zhi arrived at the screen, Teng Yuyi had already cooked for Du Tinglan, but 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.

” ”, stepped forward and looked 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 at the same time.

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.” Juesheng 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.”

: “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 constantly. Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi used two magic talismans, and they hurriedly recited a heart-clearing mantra. get better.

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 hypocrisy, lie down quickly.” Duanfu stubbornly

refused to lie down, and hissed: “Is the lady okay?”

Teng Yuyi solemnly nodded: “I have nothing to do with it. Obstruction.”

Duanfu then relaxed 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 were used to it, especially Du Shaotang. When he first saw Duanfu a few years ago, he mistakenly thought that he was a mute,

such a big man who followed Cousin Yu silently 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.”

Duanfu didn’t respond to this, like a wooden stake, Du Shaotang scratched his head embarrassingly, Teng Yuyi patted Du Shaotang on the shoulder, motioning him not to worry, then turned around to look at Juesheng and Qizhi, and said solemnly: ” I made the Taoist laugh, my old servant is not good at words, but he has a good heart, he was fighting with the tree demon at the time, and it is estimated that the injury was not serious, so he refused to say it, so he could only trouble the two Taoists.”

Jue Jue . Sheng He Qizhi nodded solemnly: “We will take a good look.”

Duan Fu then reacted, and slowly set his eyes 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 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, and the medical officer will come to the door later. You have to cooperate. Be sure to ask them to take a closer look, and don’t leave the root of the disease.”

Duan Fu replied.

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, it will definitely bury 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 . Uncle Xiang, 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

. After a while, I can only say something to my senior brother?

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, they said solemnly, “By the way, Pindao still has something to talk to 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. After making an appointment, he coughed: “Uncle, Shaotang, why don’t you take a step first, and I’ll stay with the two Taoist priests to say a few words.”

Du Shaotang became more and more confused, and wanted to ask a few words, 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 the corner of the garden, Teng Yuyi pointed there: “Two priests, let’s talk in the pavilion.”

Juesheng and Qizhi’s faces were tense, but their footsteps were not conscious. Kai Kai: “We are very busy, we have to leave after a few words.”

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

When she arrived at 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. After a long time, Teng Yuyi still didn’t see Teng Yuyi’s words, and Jue Sheng finally couldn’t help it: “Miss Teng, why don’t you ask if we have itch bugs?”

Teng Yuyi was slightly surprised: “What itch bugs?” The

two quickly exchanged glances . , What’s going on? Why is 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 divine artifact, but it’s a pity that even the senior brothers can’t see the origin of this sword.”

Jue Sheng also praised: “It’s strange to say, this sword looks like jade, but if it really is Made of jadeite, how can it be damaged at all?”

Qizhi was about to speak when suddenly surprised: “Huh? I read it right, why didn’t the sword light shine last night? Juesheng, take a closer look.”

Juesheng 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 and said, “Daoist priest, what are you doing?”

Jue Shengyi said sternly, “Miss Teng, this is a talisman of celebration, you can use it to test the spiritual power of the magic weapon. Seeing that there is something wrong with this sword, I’m going to use this talisman to test it.”

“Qingji 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 is extremely angry. Heavy, as long as the talisman paper is smeared with the corpse energy of the water ghost, it can be used to check the Taoist magic tool. If the spiritual power of the Taoist magic tool is not damaged, the Qingji talisman will turn off when touched. But if the magic tool disappears, The fire of the talisman will never go out.”

Qizhi said, igniting a talisman at his fingertips and approaching the emerald sword, the flame did not move at all, but when it was replaced by the peach wood sword in his own hand, the flame went out suddenly.

Qizhi and Juesheng were shocked: “Ms. Teng, your sword has lost its spiritual power. If you don’t believe that Teng-niang will try it on her own.”

Teng Yuyi’s eyes swirled back and forth on Juesheng’s and Juezhi’s faces, and she lengthened her voice and said, “I see No need, this sword was by my side last night, how could it lose its mana for no reason?”

“But the Qingji Talisman never fails…” Juesheng 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 the Zhentan Wood in front of the fire of Qingji Talisman, and the flames went out silently. Only Teng Yuyi’s jadeite sword will not 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.”

“Sacrificing?”

“Yes, only by making offerings regularly can the magic weapon maintain its spiritual power.”

Jue Sheng spread out his chubby hand: “Miss Teng, your sword’s spiritual power has been damaged. It may become a piece of junk.” The

two of you said each other, and the more you said it, the more mysterious it became.

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 catch it. 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. , Mrs. Teng might as well give the sword to us, and return it to you after the sword recovers its aura. But you have to tell us first where the sword came from.”

Teng Yuyi stroked the body of the sword: “Give the sword to the two of you. A Taoist priest can…”

Jue Sheng and Qizhi’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 precious treasures in the Qingyun Temple, I’m afraid it will be expensive.” The

two secretly guessed that Teng Yuyi’s words were true or false, but she didn’t ask the tickles before, and put the sword back on the stone table first. He didn’t seem to care, as if he didn’t really care about the Jade 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 his breath, and said cheerfully, “Then please, We happened to help Madam Teng get the Qingyun Temple to worship together.”

Teng Yuyi changed the topic: “It’s just—” The two of them lost their

voices: “How?”

One day when I get it back, can the Taoist master tell me what methods of worshipping Taoist treasures?” The

two were stunned, today’s actions were taught by all the senior brothers, and the truth was mixed with falsehood. , The fake is covered with a real shell, only one is true, and each Taoist utensil has its own way of worship.

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. ”

It’s the first time I heard about 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 a mess once a month. 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 said strangely: “Hey, a whisk How to run?”

Jue Sheng jumped up and down to demonstrate: “Just like this, you can run so fast that no one can catch it.”

“It’s interesting and interesting.” Teng Yu was overjoyed. , Is there any artifact that eats insects?”

“Of course there is. There is a mysterious mirror in the Guan, which is transformed by the divine beast that traverses the mountain. This mirror can recognize the ghost and clear the evil spirit. It is very powerful, but every seven, seven or forty In nine days, a pot of termites needs to be placed in front of the mirror for it to eat, otherwise it will cry and howl in the mirror. Recently, there have been fewer and fewer termites in Chang’an City. White worms replace termites, and the Xuanming Mirror won’t be picky after eating them.”

Teng Yuyi was surprised: “Your brothers turned white worms into itch bugs of the evil sect, isn’t it impossible to feed them anymore?”

Ji Zhi said, “There are itch bugs and itch bugs. The use, the white worm has the use of the white worm, which is 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 not work.”

Teng Yuyi listened with interest and said He asked casually, “It seems that the enshrining period of the spirits varies, the minimum is a few days, and the maximum is a few days?”

Jue Sheng said smoothly, and then continued: “The shortest is seven days, and the maximum is several months.”

Teng Yuyi

Abruptly said: “Huh? The shortest is seven days. I used this sword for the first time last night, how could it go wrong overnight?” Just slipped.

“Just relying on a Qingji Talisman, I’m afraid it can’t 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. I know.” The

two of them were twisted in their hearts, they thought they had wrapped Mrs. Teng in, but they didn’t expect that they would be 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 were not moving, and pretended to be surprised: “Why, is it because the Taoist priest dare not try?

” 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 another bag on the table: “It will be fine if you have it, right? Here is the powder? Thank you. The Taoist priest gives medicine.”

Jue Sheng opened his mouth and nodded sadly.

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