Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 17

[Chapter 15]

It was almost noon when Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi returned to Qingyun Temple.

The door was silent, not even a single bird. When they stepped up the steps, they found two blue-colored baby-buttoned carts parked under the eastern wall.

Jue Sheng wondered: “Didn’t senior brother say that we are closed today, why are there still guests?” Qizhi followed and

looked at the past, the car was simple and light, and there was no decoration at all. , are stronger than ordinary carriages.

There was a handyman sitting in the car. When he saw the two of them, the man jumped out of the carriage and bowed his hands: “I have seen two Taoist priests.”

This handyman was white and beardless, smiling like a Buddha. In a daze, he returned the salute, but he couldn’t help but speculate in his heart, what was the origin of the owner of this car, and even the driver under his hand was extraordinary.

When we went inside, Ji Zhi said: “Before we left in the morning, my senior brother said that Mrs. Anguo’s soul has been out of the body for too long, and it is very difficult to find it back. Now there is a way, but it needs another way. Someone helped to set up the formation. The person the senior brother said was probably the owner of the cart.”

“I think so too, otherwise, how could senior brother let that person in?” The

two hurried back to the scripture hall. There was no one in the main hall, the Prince of Chun’an and Yu Fengyu had already left.

In the eastern ear room, someone was talking in a low voice. The brother’s voice was easy to distinguish, and the voice of the other middle-aged man was a little familiar.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, there was a creak, and someone came out.

They were so frightened that they leaned back: “Senior brother!”

“What are you sneaking to see, how are you doing?” Lin Chengyou’s voice was deliberately lowered.

Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi became more and more embarrassed. Seeing the appearance of Senior Brother, he clearly respected the person inside.

“It’s done, it’s done.”

Qizhi nodded desperately: “Yes, Madam Teng’s jade sword has lost its spiritual power.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and walked out first, asking, “You did as I said?” The

two of them told what happened just now.

Lin Chengyou paused: “That is to say, if I don’t put the spirit ring in ahead of time, you will lose a bag of itchy bugs for nothing, and you won’t

be able to deceive the jade sword?” Qi Zhi said indifferently: “We have worked very hard. , but who is Mrs. Teng who is not stupid at all.”

Lin Chengyou knocked over with a burst of chestnuts: “The two stupidest people in the world are here, and the people outside are naturally not stupid. Where is the sword? Where is the sword?”

Jue Shengxie Annoyed: “The sword is still in Mrs. Teng’s hand.” Qizhi raised his

chest and said anxiously, “She won’t give it to us, we can’t forcefully grab it.”

Lin Chengyou laughed angrily: “It’s really a headache, how could I? There is such a stupid junior brother.”

Jue Sheng said with a guilty conscience: “But Mrs. Teng will definitely come to us with a sword, and maybe she will go to

Caifeng Tower tomorrow night.” “Caifenglou? You told her about Caifenglou?” Qizhi cried and said

, “Senior brother, we are not good at deceiving people. If we let Mrs. Teng come to Qingyunguan to find senior brother, senior brother may hang her for ten days and a half months. Yes, if you remind her to go to Caifenglou, you can find senior brother right away. Madam Teng just wanted to get rid of some itch bugs, but we turned her baby into waste, and Juesheng and I couldn’t bear it.”

Lin Chengyou’s face turned black . “Okay, you are all Bodhisattvas at heart. Bodhisattvas are supposed to practice in a quiet place, why are you still hanging around in front of me, a wicked person, and you have to be mad at me to give up? Get me to the confinement room immediately, a The moon is not allowed to come out.” The

two were ashamed and anxious, so they couldn’t help sobbing. The voice reached the back. In the originally quiet wing, someone coughed. It was as if he was admonishing Lin Chengyou.

Juesheng and Qizhi were strange, Lin Chengyou touched his ears: “Forget it, I will teach you every sentence before leaving, but you are still deceived by her. If you say softhearted, you are softhearted. If she is taught a lesson, she will play Qingyunguan’s idea in the future. Only if she is fully aware of her fears will this matter be stopped. If you don’t say that you will help Guanli to avoid future troubles, and you are stupid to plead for her, are you willing to do it again? How many times have you been deceived by her?”

Juesheng and Qizhi shook their heads in unison, then wiped their snot and said, “But…maybe Mrs. Teng just wanted to get a few itch bugs to play with, and she might not lie to us in the future.

Lin Chengyou snorted: “She’s not a child, she knows the harm of this bug, what else can you do to deceive bugs, but only for the sake of harming people.” Qizhi

and Juesheng thought with tears in their eyes, and what the brother said seemed to make sense, itchy A worm attack can make life worse than death. Senior brother knows how powerful this worm is. Although he keeps it for fun on weekdays, he never takes it out to make fun of people.

In their memory, the senior brother let go of two worms.

Once was to deal with a lewd old Taoist priest from another place.

The thief is a lot of age, but his heart is extremely bad. He cheated people with money and money, and also ruined a lot of women. After the elder brother caught the old Taoist, he released dozens of itchy bugs to the old man in one breath. On the Taoist priests, the ones with the largest size were selected and let them play with the old Taoist priests in the prison.

Another time, it was at Ziyun Tower the night before to deal with Dong Erniang, who was full of lies.

In comparison, Mrs. Teng’s deceitful deceitful deceitful behavior was indeed puzzling. She made bugs to harm people for no reason. It was no wonder that senior brother suspected that she was not a good person.

The two wiped away their tears and nodded: “Senior brother taught you a lesson.”

Lin Chengyou rubbed his brows: “You have done this, but I’m used to it, brother, just relying on the little heads of the two of you, someday. It’s surprising that I don’t do it. What about the other thing I’m going to tell you? What did Mrs. Du say when she woke up, did she tell you who asked her to go to the bamboo forest?”

Qizhi pouted to express his dissatisfaction, and said sullenly: “Du Yuzhi said that his daughter did tell the truth after waking up, but because it concerns the privacy of the Du family, I can only tell the prince to the prince alone.”

Lin Chengyou sneered. : “Don’t they know how many women the tree demon killed? Since the Du family knows the inside story, they should say it right away. What qualifications do they have to tell me the conditions.”

Qizhi scratched his head: “Listen to what Du Yuzhi means, that matter. It seems to be very difficult, now the Du family is eager for the help of the senior brothers, but they seem to be afraid of something, and insist on only telling the senior brothers.”

Lin Chengyou vaguely guessed what the Du family was worried about, thinking that it was about the reputation of Mrs. Du, he After thinking about it in my heart, I didn’t bother to say anything, so I just turned around and walked forward: “When will you say it? Where will you say it?”

“As long as the senior brother agrees to the Du family’s request, Du Yuzhi will come to tell you immediately.

” Tian: “Today, I have to set up a formation in the Guanli, and I am very busy at the moment. You send people to the Du residence to spread the word, I am not interested in spreading the privacy of others, but my patience is limited, and I limit the Du family to send a representative to Qingyun Temple before tomorrow. , tell me exactly what happened that night, and not a single word is allowed to be changed.”

Jue Sheng Dong Dong Dong ran down the steps: “I’ll send someone to spread the word.”

Qi Zhi asked, “Senior brother, if Mrs. Teng goes to Caifeng tomorrow night Lou, will you meet her?

Lin Chengyou asked with a smile, “Why do we go to Caifenglou? ”

“In addition to trouble.

Lin Chengyou patted Qizhi’s head: “Since it is to get rid of trouble, how can I have time to pay attention to irrelevant people? ”

Qizhi was stunned for a while, is this going to hang up Mrs. Teng? They had good intentions, but ended up doing bad things. However

, Mrs. Teng seemed to be different from ordinary women from aristocratic families, and Qizhi said timidly: “If she Do you want to see your brother?

Lin Chengyou nodded with a smile: “Come on, let her come. ” She had better obediently admit her fault to me, and take the initiative to return the itch bug to me. If she dares to play tricks, it’s nothing to destroy a magic weapon. I still have good things waiting for her. ”

Qi Zhi was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry. Senior brother was angry. If Mrs. Teng goes tomorrow night, I am afraid that she will suffer a big loss. Do you want to send Mrs. Teng a letter? I was afraid of being caught by my brother. After thinking about it, I looked up, only to find that my senior brother was stepping on the edge and began to draw talismans in front of the well.

Looking closely, the painting is “The Gate of Xuanhen”.

This gate is the root of heaven and earth. After the soul of Mrs. Anguo fell into the nether realm, she lingered and refused to return. The senior brother forged a gate of mysterious females and used this method to lure her back.

Abandoned wisdom flew up to help, and there was an object on the table in front of the well. It was covered with a black square cloth. The square cloth was lifted to reveal a young tree inside. .

Qizhi’s eyes widened slightly, it was actually the mother of the tree demon.

Juesheng returned to the courtyard and was quite surprised to see this situation: “Senior brother, since you want to bring back the spirit of Mrs. Anguo, why did you enshrine the tree demon here?”

Lin Chengyou said: “Mrs. Anguo was killed by this tree demon. Death, who is the person you hate the most now?”

Qizhi blinked: “The tree demon!”

Jue Sage gave a high five: “I know, using the breath of the tree demon as bait can arouse the resentment of Mrs. Anguo’s soul. , the soul has an obsession, and the chance of getting it back is better.”

“Furthermore, I drew a fake door of the mysterious female here, which is equivalent to setting a target in the Qingyun Temple, and I will break the outside of the Guan later. The talisman to ward off evil spirits will attract the wandering spirits of Chang’an. Although this tree demon has been beaten back to its original shape, the evil spirit is still there. Put it in the courtyard. Ordinary lonely and wild ghosts dare not approach. It saves a lot of trouble when drawing souls.”

Lin Chengyou said, re-checking the organs in the courtyard, and after careful preparation, he took out the piece of paper that An Guogong had drawn in the morning.

“Later, if there are footprints on the ‘Zhichai Fan’, it means that there is a soul coming. You should compare it carefully. If the two do not match, immediately drive it away. If it matches the footprints on the paper, try to find a way to bring Mrs. Anguo’s soul to her. In front of the well.”

“Yes.”

Lin Chengyou reminded them: “Be careful, there are no impersonators. As long as you dare to impersonate, you must not be a good stubborn. It is a rare opportunity for you to experience it.” ”

Brother, don’t worry.”

With a sound, the closed door of the wing was opened on both sides, and a red line flew out from the inside and shot straight to the front of the well.

Abandoning wisdom and Juesheng was a big surprise. No wonder the senior brother respected that person so much. This person’s inner strength was so deep that he was not even under the master’s respect.

This red line is very thin, and there is a small bell hanging every few inches. It is strange that this bell is swaying endlessly by the wind, but there is no movement at all.

Lin Chengyou fished back and

grabbed the red thread firmly: “Go, tie it in front of the well.” Qizhi responded, and the man in the wing held the other end of the red thread tightly, waiting for Qizhi to tie the red thread to the wellhead Above, the end suddenly pulled back, and the red thread was as tight as a bowstring.

Cigarettes curled up in the scripture hall, and there was a faint sound of mantra chanting. The bells on the red line rang golden and jingled, and the bells rang.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were shocked. Lin Chengyou went to the edge of the well, pointed his sword directly at the east wall, and raised his voice: “Ms. Cheng Li, are you still not back?

” A huge shadow shrouded the air, and the entire courtyard fell into darkness.

Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom were like enemies, they hurried to the corridor and sat down. The ground was covered with fluff-like chasing fans. As long as the dead souls came, they would definitely show up.

Lin Chengyou stood on the edge of the well holding his sword, holding his breath as he stared at the courtyard, the needles falling around him could be heard, and a gust of wind suddenly blew.

With a babbling sound, the courtyard door slowly opened.

Then, accompanied by a faint smell of foulness, a red-golden footprint suddenly appeared on the ground. The footprint was extremely small, and it was obviously not the soul of Mrs. Anguo.

Juesheng and Jizhi’s scalps go numb, coming so fast, this thing must be fierce.

***

Teng Yuyi looked at the sun above her head, and suddenly it was noon. Cheng Bo went to work according to her instructions, but she was nowhere to be seen until now. , said that the lunch was arranged, and asked Teng Yuyi to hurry over to eat.

Teng Yuyi arrived at Yilan Xuan, Du Tinglan fell asleep after drinking the medicine, the meal was set on the outside table, Mrs. Du and Du Shaotang were waiting for her, Du Yuzhi only told her for half-day leave, and she would return to Guozijian early.

Mrs. Du said: “I should have taken care of the wind and the dust for you. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. I didn’t have time to prepare well in the morning, and I made a

few dishes in a hurry. I don’t know if it suits your taste.” The dishes were almost all her favorite dishes. Her eyes wandered on the table, and she asked excitedly, “All of them made by my aunt?”

Mrs. Du smiled and handed the toothpaste to Teng Yuyi’s hand: “Try it.”

Teng Yuyi clipped it. I bought a piece of Yulu Dumpling and praised: “I don’t care about anything else in Yangzhou, I only care about the dishes made by my aunt. This time I went back to Chang’an and there were so many things, I thought it would take a few days before I could taste my aunt’s craftsmanship, but I didn’t expect it. I ate it so quickly, and it’s still delicious.”

Madam Du was so happy that she filled Teng Yuyi’s mouth with a bowl of millet: “Last night, my aunt was so frightened that she didn’t close her eyes all night, you were resting in the next house, and I heard After tossing and turning, I will finish eating later, and the mothers will go back to the house to rest for a while.”

Du Shaotang sat down on the opposite side and asked curiously, “Cousin Yu, the maid next to you just now asked me for a map of Chang’an, do you want to go out? Teng Yuyi said: ”

I haven’t been back to Chang’an for several years, and this time I want to take a walk around. I’m afraid that the driver is not familiar with the road, so I need to look at the map.”

Du Shaotang smiled: “Why is it so troublesome, I’ll go out with cousin Yu. No, it’s fine. I’m studying in Guozijian now, and I occasionally go out with my classmates. I’ve already been familiar with the streets and alleys of Chang’an City.”

Teng Yuyi drank a mouthful of sugarcane pulp and said casually, “I listen to people. It is said that a Persian restaurant has recently opened in Chang’an City. The owner of the restaurant is Persian Hu, who makes good wine. The restaurant has a common name, it is called Hongxialou or Yunfenglou.

Du Shaotang pondered for a while: “I have never heard of such a Persian restaurant, but there is a Caifeng Tower, which has become famous in Chang’an recently. Talking about it, I have never seen it with my own eyes.”

Teng Yuyi wondered, “Why do you admire that place so much, and what is so special about this Caifeng Tower?”

Du Shaotang peeked at Madam Du and said covertly, “It’s nothing more than saying The food and drinks are very good…”

Immediately, he changed the subject and said, “Cousin Yu, if you are looking for good wine, why go to the restaurant outside, my sister made you a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus liquor last year, and buried it under the begonia tree in the corner of the courtyard. Said that when you come, I will dig it out for you to drink.”

Teng Yuyi couldn’t wait to put down her toothpaste, turned her head and looked around: “Where is the wine?”

Mrs. Du smiled and said, “You child, when you talk about wine, you will be very excited. The wine is buried under the tree, it has no long legs and can’t run. You sit for me, you are tired these days, don’t worry about drinking first, take a good rest today, and ask Laner tomorrow before it’s too late.

” After the meal, Teng Yuyi went to the adjacent room to rest for a while, took out the jade sword and wiped it against the Xuan window, the more he rubbed his brows, the tighter he became.

Chunrong and Biluo were unknown. When the lady and the two little Taoists were talking in the morning, they were far away, and they didn’t know what happened, but since the little Taoist left, the lady would take out the sword from time to time to see.

“Let’s take a nap while there is nothing to do in the afternoon.” Chunrong said.

Teng Yuyi slowly lay down on the bed, holding the sword up in front of her eyes and studying it carefully.

“Miss, do you really want to go to that Caifeng Tower tomorrow?”

“Let Uncle Cheng ask about other Taoist temples in Chang’an.” Teng Yuyi tucked the sword under the pillow, “Or is there a Taoist priest with profound Taoism, if you ask about it? Now, let him come over and call me back as soon as possible.”

She didn’t believe it anymore, Chang’an is so big, there must be a lot of strange people, can it be Lin Chengyou alone who can solve the evil spirit ring?

“My servant will go and deliver the message.” Chunrong tucked the quilt on Teng Yuyi’s behalf. “But this servant heard that Qingyun Temple is the No. 1 Taoist Temple of Heaven, and it is not easy to find a rival to it in Chang’an City.”

Teng Yuyi felt secretly . This was a disappointment, and with a snort, he was about to feel sleepy, and suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head on the pillow: “Hey, where is my puppet.”

Qiyun came in with a gray puppet: “I was caught in the morning. Sister Biluo has washed it and is drying it now, lady, smell it, there is still the scent of the sun on top.”

Teng Yuyi took the puppet and turned over, humming, “Be careful, if you get it for me If you lose it, I will never forgive you.”

Chunrong and Biluo couldn’t help laughing, although the lady is not very old, she is used to making up her own mind in everything, but every time she goes to bed, she still looks like a child It is inseparable from the puppet left by the lady.

Suddenly hearing someone whispering outside, Teng Yuyi hurriedly said: “Is Cheng Bo back? Come and have a look.”

Biluo went out and brought back a map: “The eldest son was sent by someone, madam, you Do you really want to go to that Caifeng Building tomorrow?”

Teng Yuyi rolled over and sat up, took the map and studied it: “Hey, is this restaurant originally in Pingkangfang?”

Could it be a brothel?

Lin Chengyou took the two junior brothers to the brothel to do what.

Biluo and Chunrong also came to the bedside: “Oh, it’s not too close to Qinrenfang, it takes more than an hour to come and go, lady, whether you go or not, you have to make a decision at noon tomorrow at the latest. If you leave later, you won’t be able to rush back to Du Mansion before dark.”
