Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 28
[Chapter 21]
Calyx Ji carried the lantern and led the way: “Daoist priest, Ge Jin’s sleeping place is right in front, it is a waterside pavilion called Yicuixuan, that place is quiet and elegant, which is suitable for her to recover, but unfortunately she is disheartened after the accident. , I’ll be out of the house all day long.”
Teng Yuyi looked around, although the first-class tricksters in Caifenglou all lived in the same place, their rank was different.
The wing rooms are divided into two sides, east and west facing each other, winding like snakes, and there are thirty rooms in each row.
Ge Jin lives in the largest room on the east side, with the front window facing the peony bushes in the garden, and the back window facing the water, so you can enjoy flowers in spring and snow in winter. It is quite ingenious to say, worthy of Ge Jin’s identity known to Caifenglou.
The actors stayed in the front building, the corridors of the waterside pavilion in the back garden were quieter than usual, and the light and shadow of the lanterns under the eaves were dim and miserable, far less than the bright moon above their heads.
Calyx Ji held up the lantern and looked forward, and when she saw Ge Jin’s door was closed, she immediately felt relieved: “The door is still closed, and the talisman paper given by the Taoist priest is pasted everywhere in the building, as long as Ge Jin does not open the door without authorization. , I don’t expect anything to happen.”
When everyone arrived at the door, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi stood on tiptoe and looked: “Senior brother, the talisman paper is well attached.”
Lin Chengyou kicked open the door without saying a word, and everyone probed. Looking inside, there is only the cold moonlight in the room, and there is no shadow of Ge Jin.
“Damn it, where have people gone?”
Lin Chengyou had already approached the window and jumped out: “I didn’t go far, hurry up.” Juesheng and Qizhi jumped up to the window without
saying a word.
The one who jumped first was Juesheng, only to hear a plop, and Juesheng screamed from below: “Oh, senior brother, why didn’t you tell us that there is a pool outside.”
Lin Chengyou’s voice came from a distance: “This is still a lesson. Don’t you look at yourself before jumping down? Qizhi’s hand is injured, don’t go into the water, first draw a golden circle of gold in the room, and then go to the shore to meet Qizhi.”
Qizhi hangs his head down At the window, at least he didn’t plunge into the water like Jue Sheng did, but his hands were scratching in vain, and he looked so embarrassed.
He shouted weakly, “Young Master Wang, please help me.”
Teng Yuyi ran over and dragged Qizhi back: “Tsk, I know why your brothers scold you all day long.”
Then he looked down at the window . The drawer is different from other places. It is wide enough to accommodate two people. If people in the room are interested, they can sit on the edge of the window and enjoy the moon and drink.
The Absolute Sage thumped in the pond in embarrassment, silver waves surging under the moonlight, Teng Yuyi glanced at it, and suddenly remembered the night when he was dying in his previous life, his face changed in an instant.
Qizhi stood up and looked at Teng Yuyi strangely: “Wang Gongzi, are you afraid of water?”
Teng Yuyi pretended to be okay: “Jesheng is all right, do you want to fish him out?”
“He knows water, it’s all right, I’ll go find him after I finish drawing.” Qi Zhi ran back to the room.
He Mingsheng leaned weakly against the door frame, his legs trembling uncontrollably: “I was frightened to death, and then I rescued Juan Erli, and Ge Jin disappeared again. This place is so creepy, can the little priest send me quickly? Back to the front building?”
Qi Zhi was stunned: “There is no time now, the life and death of Mrs. Ge Jin is uncertain, and the poor Daoist has to help the senior brother to save the life.”
He Mingsheng wiped the sweat beads on his fat face: “It won’t take long to send us back. , the trail is long and good, just take a run and come back.”
Qi Zhi quickly drew up the formation: “With the protection of the formation, the room is the safest now, the four of you stay in the room and don’t walk around.”
Said Running away with a puff of smoke.
He Mingsheng stomped his feet angrily, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only slowly move into the room.
Teng Yuyi and Huo Qiuli looked at him curiously by the window. Calyx Ji probably thought he was too embarrassing as the master, and his face was uncomfortable.
He Mingsheng didn’t care, he sat in front of Ge Jin’s dressing table, and kept wiping the sweat on his head: “A lot of things happened in just a few days, this is to close the door of Caifeng Building. what!”
Teng Yuyi slowly walked back to the low couch and sat down with his robes up, “I heard that the storekeeper He is from Luoyang? What kind of business did you do in the past?
” Wen Huanxuan said, “Get up early and get greedy for the dark, chasing the profit of the tithe, accumulating an inch of baht, and making a fortune from scraps. I finally saved a fortune and smashed it all on the Caifeng Building. If the ghosts in the building can’t be cleaned up , He is afraid that he will lose half of his life.”
Qi Ji flattered: “The owner is a famous big man in Luoyang, a small Caifeng Building, why is it hurt?” He
Mingsheng’s eyes widened . Stare: “Listen, this is really a woman’s opinion. Caifeng Tower is not comparable to the other side, and you need to invest a lot of money every day. If the business is good, this place is like a spring, and it will continue to feed the overall situation. If the business is bleak, The foundation will be shaken within three months, and I just hope that tonight’s incident will not be spread, otherwise the business will plummet, and I don’t know how much money I will lose in the future.”
He said it all in one breath, and every word is inseparable from “wealth”. Teng Yuyi said with a light smile: “I heard that Ge Jin is the
oiran of your Caifeng Building. She was injured by a specter. Why didn’t the owner find someone to remove the trouble, so he is not afraid that there will be tricksters in your building in the future?” He Mingsheng cried and said: “Why don’t you look for someone to get rid of the trouble? Before, it was just a small fight, and it didn’t make too much trouble. When Ge Jin was injured a few days ago, I immediately set off to Luoyang to find that expert, but I didn’t know he would be looking for him in the city. After walking around for a long time, I just couldn’t find the shadow of the master. I guess he is either a liar or he went out for a walk. I planned to go to Qingyunguan for help in the next two days, but who knew that something would happen tonight.
” The spit was flying, and suddenly I felt something was wrong. The window was originally full of moonlight, but it suddenly darkened. I turned my eyes to look at it, and suddenly collapsed on the ground in fright. Covered most of it.
Calyx Ji screamed in horror, Teng Yuyi quickly pulled out the jade sword: “You you, you, who are you?”
The man raised his head with difficulty: “It’s me.”
He Mingsheng and Calyx Ji seemed to find the voice quite familiar. They looked at each other in surprise: “Ge Jin?!”
“Master…” Ge Jin said weakly, “Aunt Calyx… quickly pull me in.”
He Mingsheng raised the lampstand tremblingly . Stunning at first sight. It’s a pity that there are scars on his face, and most of his beauty has been damaged.
“It’s really Ge Jin.” He Mingsheng shivered, “Why are you here? Didn’t you get kidnapped by a monster?”
Ge Jin struggled to cling to the edge of the window: “It’s my fault that I opened the door without permission and accidentally caught that The way of the monsters, fortunately, the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple rescued me, but they were busy chasing the monsters, and they didn’t have time to send me to the house.”
She said and coughed: “Master, you finally came back from Luoyang. , did you invite that stranger?”
He Mingsheng and Qiji were afraid to move at first, but they were suddenly stunned when they heard this sentence, He Mingsheng went to Luoyang to invite an expert, only a few of the most honorable prostitutes. people know.
It seems that this is Ge Jin undoubtedly.
“Master… Aunt Caly…” Ge Jin’s breath was weak, “Come and help.” The
two were hesitating when Teng Yuyi suddenly said: “Miss Ge Jin, which Taoist priest put you here?”
“No. Daoist, he is a young son.” Ge Jin sighed, “After he rescued the slave family, he felt that the slave family was a burden, so he left the slave family and left without saying a word.” The
doubts of the people in the room disappeared, this was indeed what Lin Chengyou did . come out.
He Mingsheng was used to being timid, and he still didn’t dare to go there. He only looked at Calyx Ji: “Caji, you go and help Ge Jin.”
Ge Jin smiled bitterly: “Master, you are so close, why do you need to be Aunt Calyx? .”
Her tone and expression were the same as usual, no doubt in her heart, and she rolled up her sleeves to help: “That’s it, I’ll come.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Teng Yuyi. Teng Yuyi shook something out of his sleeve and walked towards the window: “Miss Gejin, when the Taoist priest was asked to post a talisman tonight, he told everyone not to open the door without authorization. I don’t know what Yaoyi did, but he actually coaxed you into being fooled.”
Ge Jin was stunned: “That thing pretended to be an acquaintance to deliver medicine to the slave family, and the slave family accidentally…”
“So that’s the case.” Teng Yuyi nodded. “Hey, this monster is so clever that it’s hard to guard against.”
“Isn’t it?” Ge Jin sighed, “I blame the slave family for being confused, son, the slave family can’t hold it anymore, come and help.
She stretched out a hand. With only slender white arms, she looked at Teng Yuyi with hope.
“Here. Teng Yuyi stepped up and walked to the window, smiling and holding up what was in her hand.
Ge Jin’s face changed, and she saw Teng Yuyi holding a bald pen in her hand, stabbed straight into her face.
Ge Jin didn’t have time to dodge, her face instantly turned Then there was a change, her complexion shone with the light of the moon, showing a pale golden luster, she remained motionless, and her voice had a cold and strange taste: “Where did I show my feet? ”
Teng Yuyi was lucky enough to get it, but she was terrified. She ducked back and said, “Why should I tell you?” ”
Actually, she got suspicious early in the morning. Ge Jin had just been kidnapped by the monster, and even if she was rescued in time, she would still be unconscious because of the poison. He passed out due to the demon poison.
Lin Chengyou knew that this would be the case, no matter how inhumane he was, he would never leave a comatose person casually.
But this fake “Ge Jin” not only suddenly appeared out of the window, but also appeared unscathed. The
woman smiled lowly, her arms slowly lowered, and when she raised her arms again, the color of her arms had already changed. Looking closely, the top of the head was dense as a plant, plump like scales, and turned into a pair of golden wings in the blink of an eye. wing.
Half of the woman’s face is still in the shape of Ge Jin, but the other half has fluffy hair, and her wide wings poked into the window, as if she wanted to come in, but every time she touched the edge of the window, it seemed to be blocked by something invisible.
Huoqiu’s face was pale, and he hurriedly walked out to protect a few people: “Young master, hurry up, the villain thinks of holding it back. The Taoist priest should be nearby, so you can call for help after you go out.
” He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Teng Yuyi’s heart was pounding: “Let’s stay in the room, Daoist Abandoned Wisdom has drawn a line in the room, and if this monster can enter the room, there is no need to pretend to be a Gejin to trick us, I guess there are doors and windows installed. Enchantment, you can see that it can’t get in.”
Huo Qiu thought that this made sense, and hurriedly carried He Mingsheng, who had just climbed to the door, to slip back.
At this moment, the feathers on the face of the thing in the window became thicker and denser, and the figure became larger and larger, as if it had turned into a giant bird, blocking the window tightly, and carefully looked at it by the light in the room. , I saw its bright red claws on the edge of the window, screaming strangely in its mouth, suddenly raised its claws and pointed the sharp claws at Calyx Ji.
Calyx Ji’s eyes were straight and she walked towards the window, Teng Yuyi knew something was wrong: “Huo Qiu, stop her!”
Huo Qiu hurried up, but Caly Ji was so powerful that she didn’t wait for Huo Qiu to come over and waved The arm threw him aside, and Huoqiu flew out, smashing the rope bed beside the table with a bang.
“Huoqiu!” Teng Yuyi cried out in frustration.
He Mingsheng’s teeth were chattering, and he couldn’t stop looking around: “Where’s the Taoist priest? Help! Help, Taoist priest!” Before he could finish speaking
, the monster at the window suddenly screamed, and a large net was thrown under the moonlight, shining with golden light. Shuo, as wide as a quilt, densely covered the monster.
“Do you understand?” Lin Chengyou’s voice came from outside.
“I see, this is its body, the previous Jin Jiao is just its incarnation.”
“If you see it, close the Internet cafe.”
But I heard Jue Sheng shout: “Senior brother, it’s so strong, I can’t hold it.”
“If you can’t hold it, jump down, I’ll pick you up below, its feathers can’t get wet, it’s easy to fall into the water. ”
Sacred Jue obviously did what he said, and with a thud, he jumped into the water again. Fortunately, this method worked, and he pulled the monster out of the window all at once.
Teng Yuyi raised her hand to wipe off the sweat, only to realize that she was sweating all over her body. Calyx Ji was swaying and almost fell to the ground, just as Huo Qiu got up from the ground and rushed over to help him.
Teng Yuyi reluctantly sat in front of the dressing table, her legs were still weak and weak, and she could only hear the sound of water outside, as if a rainstorm was approaching. Negative, every sound is terrifying.
During this period, He Mingsheng tried to flee several times, but was stopped by Teng Yuyi. Calyx Ji wanted to escape but didn’t dare, so she could only hide behind Teng Yuyi.
I don’t know how long it took, the outside slowly returned to silence, Teng Yuyi stared out the window, the picture outside was about to dawn, the stars were gradually disappearing, the sky and the earth were smudged a dark blue, after fighting for so long, I don’t know whether Lin Chengyou caught the monster or not.
She was feeling up and down in her heart, when suddenly the window darkened, something rushed over again, the golden light flickered in the morning light, it was clearly the monster, and this time, for some unknown reason, the thing easily protruded into the edge of the window.
Teng Yuyi felt a chill on her neck. Could it be that the formation of abandoning wisdom lost its effectiveness? When it crawls in, everyone in the room will suffer, He Mingsheng and Calyji panic again, and Teng Yuyi ran to the window and stabbed with his sword.
“How dare you come.”
The thing outside the window was about to come in, but in shock, he grabbed the edge of the window instead.
Only then did Teng Yuyi see clearly that the person who came was not a monster, but a person. This person was wearing a golden net of Qingyunguan, and at first glance, he was covered in golden light.
“It’s you again?” Lin Chengyou gritted his teeth.
Teng Yuyi quickly withdrew his hand: “I thought it was a monster, but it turned out to be the Taoist priest.”
But after a step too late, Lin Chengyou fell down in order to avoid Jian Feng, and with a plop, a big splash of water splashed.
Teng Yuyi climbed the eaves of the window and looked down. Lin Chengyou was good at water. He quickly leaned out of the water. He wiped his face, glared at the window, and swam to the shore.
At this moment, there was the sound of running on the corridor, Jue Sheng was soaking wet, and Qi Zhi also had a lot of water stains on his body. Together, the two carried a net into the house.
A person was wrapped in the net, heavy and motionless, dripping water dripping down the road.
“Senior brother.” The two said as soon as they came in, “Hey, senior brother isn’t there?”
Huo Qiu coughed, “Your senior brother is still in the water.”
Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a while, then bent over and put the person in the net into the water. On the ground, the net loosened, and the person inside rolled out. It turned out to be Ge Jin.
He Mingsheng and Qi Ji were so frightened that they hugged into a ball: “Monster.” Qizhi hurriedly said
: “Don’t be afraid, this is not a monster, it is the real Lady Gejin, who was rescued by senior brother just now. Everyone was startled just now, then On the one hand, Yaoyi invites his companions to deal with us, and on the other hand, he wants to enter the house and harm others, but fortunately you didn’t fall for it, otherwise you will inevitably be hurt by it.”
He Mingsheng asked in a trembling voice, “Can you catch Yaoyi?
” Angrily shook his head: “Let it run away.”
“Run away?”
“Senior brother chased all the way from Caifeng Building, chased half a Pingkangfang, almost caught it, but let it run away. , it’s almost dawn, this thing will never come out again, unless you dig the whole Chang’an three feet into the ground, there is no way to find it.”
At this time, footsteps were heard outside again, and Juesheng and Qizhi went out. Look: “Senior brother.”
Lin Chengyou was holding the Panluo golden net in his hand, from the crown to the boots, all soaked, and when he walked into the room, there were traces of water on the floor.
After he came in, he looked directly for Teng Yuyi with his eyes, his face was mixed with joy and anger.
Juesheng and Qizhi were taken aback: “Senior brother, didn’t you come in directly from the window, why did you fall into the water?”
Teng Yuyi whispered to Huo Qiu, “Get the cart ready and slip away whenever you find a chance.” Huo Qiu agreed. Go quietly to arrange.
Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi and walked into the room: “Joke, will I fall into the water? I guessed that the monster left something in the water, so I went into the water to confirm it again.”
Juesheng and Jizhi There is no doubt about him: “So it is! Senior brother, did you find anything in the water?”
Lin Chengyou flicked the water on his sleeve: “Ge Jin has been killed by the demon poison, if you continue to talk about it, you can You can’t save people.”
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi regained their senses, and hurriedly lifted Ge Jin onto Hu’s bed: “Senior brother, Lady Ge Jin’s eyes are like lines, she looks like a poison, but her tongue is red, and it looks like she’s been hit again. Fire poison, how can this be good, fire poison is nothing, in case it is scorpion poison, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with.”
Lin Chengyou asked, “Is there any marks on her neck?”
“No.”
Lin Chengyou thought about it: “Look at it. Look at her heart.”
” This—” ”
I’m not letting you guys see, isn’t there an aunt Calyx here?”
However, Calyx Ji had passed by the past few times, and she was already frightened. She grabbed Teng Yuyi’s shoulder and shivered. Said: “The slave family wants to move, but the slave family’s arms and legs have turned into dough, and they can’t move.”
Everyone turned their attention to Teng Yuyi. Ge Jin was in a dangerous situation, and it was too late to go to find someone. Since this prince is a woman disguised as a man, it should be her.
“Your Highness.” Juesheng and Qizhi looked at Teng Yuyi expectantly.
Teng Yuyi sighed inwardly. He wanted to leave countless times tonight, but was trapped in Caifeng Building again and again: “Okay, I’ll take a look.”
The group walked out of the house, Lin Chengyou suddenly said before closing the door: “I forgot to remind Wang Gongzi, the demon poison in this lady Gejin is different than others, it attacks the heart, maybe it will change, if she later If you suddenly open your eyes, you must be careful, this demonic poison can control the mind, and people who are poisoned often take pleasure in biting their flesh
. “Wait.”
“Don’t be afraid, I’m right outside the door, and I’ll come in as soon as you call.” Lin Chengyou closed the door with a smile, and then took out a few pieces of money from his arms to Juesheng and Qizhi Qizhi, “There is a clothing store next door, you changed your wet clothes, and put some clothes on for me by the way.”
Juesheng and Qizhi looked at each other. In fact, the poison is not as mysterious as the senior brother said. Specter, but at most it can only bluff, not really bite.
But when the senior brother said this, Mrs. Teng probably couldn’t escape the shock, because anyone would be worried that they would be bitten. As long as they were in the same room as Ge Jin, they would be extremely tormented.
Seeing this, the senior brother clearly wanted to push them away. They dawdled and didn’t want to go, but the senior brother looked bad, and even his hair was dripping with water.
Once the two wounds on the arm that were pierced by Mrs. Teng were soaked in water, they began to ooze blood again. They entered the Qingyun Temple and had never seen Senior Brother in such a state of embarrassment.
The two decided to go and return quickly, so they ran away in a hurry.
