Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 42
[Chapter 31 (2)]
It’s not enough to harm people for one lifetime, but it also harms people from lifetime to lifetime. ”
That’s why it’s called a corpse evil.” Qi Zhi sighed, “Miss Teng, do you still remember the illusion that Juan Erli and Ge Jin saw that night? Juan Erli saw the cake shop opened by her late father, and Lady Gejin saw a deserted courtyard.
Teng Yuyi nodded. ”
That should be the darkest and most fragile part of her memory. The corpse evil used this to create an illusion, in order to draw out the most painful memory of the prey.” When Du Tinglan heard this, she finally remembered what was wrong: ”
Wait a minute, just like that, Juanerli and Lady Gejin in Caifenglou were targeted by the corpse evil first, and the corpse evil hadn’t succeeded yet, so why left that?” The two of you have come to look for Ayu instead? How
dare Teng Yuyi let my sister know that she was born by life, and she didn’t dare to say a word.
Ji Zhi said, “I and Jue Sheng didn’t understand this, either because Teng Niang injured the young master Jin Yi with a sword, Jin Yi said.” After all, Young Master Yi was the corpse evil’s companion, so he first sought revenge from Mrs. Teng. Jue Sheng ran up the steps and said: ”
There is another possibility that the corpse evil is playing tricks on the crowd. There are three prey, and they live separately. Even the senior brothers can’t determine who the corpse evil will hunt first. After all, the manpower is limited and it is impossible to All aspects are covered. In this way, the prey will be in a constant state of panic, and the senior brother will be exhausted. I suspect that the reason why the senior brother is late tonight is because something went wrong at the Caifeng Tower. ” This is possible. When the corpse evil broke into the Chengwang’s mansion that night, although Fu Lu had not yet committed suicide, Xiaoya warned several times. Tonight ,
Xiaoyajian has been calm and peaceful.
Every trace of evil in the wind: “Maybe the corpse will not come tonight, but even so, don’t slack off.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from outside the courtyard, and everyone’s heartstrings were tense, and they were immediately alert. Juesheng and
Jizhi shouted: “What happened? The
servants came in: “Replying to the words of the two priests, the light in the main room just now went out suddenly, and it turned on again in a few moments. Cheng Bo has led the guards to check what happened.” ”
Teng Yuyi only felt a gust of wind swept across the back of her neck. The main room was the bedroom of the grandfather and mother. This time, when she returned to Beijing, she specially brought back her grandmother’s relics. Except for those that she wanted to rub every day, most of them were kept in the main room.
Du Tinglan was shocked: “Could it be that the corpse evil is here, and the Chengwang mansion also turned off the lights for no reason last night.” Juesheng and Qizhi
ran to the east and the west to stand still: “Be careful, I can’t leave this place without permission.
Du Tinglan shouted: “If there is news from Cheng Bo, come and reply quickly .” The servants left
, and everyone in the courtyard was frightened and uneasy. Fortunately, Cheng Bo came in not long after, and he entered the courtyard and replied, “Miss, don’t worry. , the two horn lamps in the main room did go out, but after the old slave carefully inspected, it was caused by the exhaustion of lamp oil. In the evening, the old slave ordered the lights to be lit in the corners of the house. The fire has been turned off, and now it has been added. Just now, the master inspected it in person, and there was no trace of thieves breaking into the main room
. Footsteps were heard outside the courtyard again, and Teng Shao personally led the guards, who made Songtao Garden surrounded by airtight, and he stood outside the door holding a lance.
When everyone saw Teng Shao’s tall and slender back, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Teng Shao was a famous general with great ambition. Divine mighty chilling aura.
Teng Yuyi was still frowning, Du Tinglan thought for a moment and said, “After the Chengwang Mansion was turned off last night, everyone in the mansion couldn’t turn on the fire. It’s all here, don’t be in a mess.”
After this incident, everyone no longer had the time to talk, the night was cold as water, and the wind gradually picked up. Du Tinglan couldn’t stand it, and quietly closed the silk.
Teng Yuyi was worried that her cousin would catch a cold, and dragged Du Tinglan into the house.
Juesheng said: “Miss Teng, Madam Du, if you are tired, you might as well take a break. Last night, Juesheng and I only meditated on the low couch, and we never went to bed.”
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi looked at each other and smiled.
Du Tinglan said in a low voice, “These two little dolls are really interesting.”
Immediately, she raised her voice, “Thank you for your kindness, but Ayu and I don’t feel tired, just sit for a while.” A
trace flashed across Qizhi’s face . Embarrassed: “Juesheng, Madam Teng and Madam Du are not like you can take a nap anywhere, there are so many people inside and outside, they can’t sleep even if they want to.”
Juesheng muttered: “I am Don’t worry, what’s in your way? You are so long-winded, even more long-winded than Shizun’s old man.”
“You, you… you dare to be disrespectful to Shizun!”
Teng Yuyi was very happy to listen to the two of them quarreling. After a few words, she stopped arguing. She was a little bored and had nowhere to go. She simply moved the chessboard in and had a hand-to-hand chat with Du Tinglan. .
Du Tinglan said: “Are you tired? Why don’t you sleep for a while, my sister will accompany you.”
Teng Yuyi nodded, listening to the calm outside, she leaned on the table to sleep, Du Tinglan covered her with something in a trance, her body was slow Slowly getting warmer, she became more drowsy, and fell asleep not long after.
I don’t know how long I have slept, my arms and feet are extremely sore and numb, Teng Yuyi woke up in a daze, and planned to change the pillow on the other arm, just raised her head and realized that her ears were extremely quiet, she sat up suddenly and looked, she was the only one in the room, Du Tinglan gone.
Teng Yuyi’s back was covered in fine sweat in an instant: “Sister.”
It was only after she called her that she realized that she could speak, how suddenly – suddenly she was able to speak.
She was in shock and hurried to find the house. Du Tinglan was not in the corridor, no, not only Du Tinglan, but Juesheng and Qizhi were gone.
Teng Yuyi knew something was wrong, was she dreaming? He pinched his arm, it hurt like a heartbreak, and in a hurry, he touched his sleeve, but fortunately, Xiaoyajian was still there.
Teng Yuyi stabilized her mind, clenched her sword hilt and said, “Xiaoya.”
Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyajian started to get hot. Teng Yuyi was overjoyed and said in a low voice, “Come out, I have something to ask you.”
Unexpectedly, Xiaoyajian became cold again. This time it was very unusual. While looking around anxiously, he slowly walked down the steps. Uncle Cheng was gone, and the spring velvet and blue snails were gone. In an instant, she was the only one left in the entire Teng Mansion.
Teng Yuyi had an illusion in her heart, as if she had returned to that terrifying night in her previous life. There was an unfathomable trap lurking on the opposite side. All her struggles were in vain. That person was determined to take their lives, no matter where she escaped. , don’t even try to escape this catastrophe.
She tried her best to stabilize her mind and paced outside slowly. Grandpa was at the door. As long as Grandpa was still there, everything would be easy to talk about.
She whispered, “Grandpa.” The
door of the courtyard was silent.
“Grandpa?”
Still no sound.
Teng Yuyi’s heart sank. Grandpa’s ears were so powerful that he would definitely answer when he heard her cry.
This situation was too strange, Teng Yuyi’s palms were sweaty, even if everyone in the house ran away, Grandpa should never abandon her.
Did Grandpa have an accident? Her legs trembled, and she moved out step by step, her despair permeated, and she couldn’t help shouting again: “Grandpa.” When she
walked to the door and looked up, Teng Yuyi’s eyes froze, and she saw a rock outside the courtyard. There were two people standing in front, tall and straight, Teng Shao was impressive, and the other was a slender woman.
Tonight, the moon is cloudless, the moonlight shines down, and the world is full of silver. The woman spoke softly and was stroking Teng Shao’s face.
Teng Shao’s Adam’s apple rolled, and he stared at the woman, as if he had been stunned.
Teng Yuyi looked at the woman in awe, and would never see it wrong. The face was clearly visible in the moonlight, with the familiar eyebrows, the familiar corners of the mouth, the familiar sideburns, and even the cinnabar mole under the ear was exactly the same.
Her teeth were chattering, she wanted to go over and take a closer look, but her legs were as heavy as lead. I saw Grandpa kneeling down slowly, hugging the woman’s legs and crying bitterly: “Mother Hui.” The
woman seemed very sad and bent over. He put Teng Shao’s head in his arms, crying more and more.
Teng Yuyi swayed and walked towards the woman in a daze. The woman had a kind of gentle bearing on her body. Hearing Teng Yuyi’s footsteps, she turned her head slowly and saw that it was Teng Yuyi, and every line on her face stretched out softly.
The tears in Teng Yuyi’s eyes were already shaky, her face could be faked, but her eyes couldn’t deceive people. Only A Niang would look at her like this in this world.
Mrs. Teng was even more speechless, and reached out to Teng Yuyi: “Ayu.”
Teng Yuyi’s tears flowed down. She had dreamed of this scene many times, but it really came true, but she was overwhelmed. Her mother came back, She choked and strode forward, can’t wait to run over: “Auntie.”
Madam Teng burst into tears, and opened her arms to wait for her daughter to fall into her arms.
Teng Yuyi cried bitterly and threw herself into her mother’s arms. She had only seen the skirt on her mother’s body a few days ago when she was sorting out her relics. The familiar weft brocade pattern of the cypress grass secretly matched her mother’s name. The relics were kept in the upper room. Mother’s unique logo, she smelled the quiet breath on her mother’s shirt, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She recognized it even if it was a dream, no one knows how much she misses A-Niang better than she does.
Mrs. Teng hugged her husband and daughter tightly, tears soon wet the front of her clothes, Teng Shao seemed to be too upset and didn’t notice her daughter coming, not only did not say a word, but did not even glance at her.
Teng Yuyi heard her mother’s cry, her heart clenched into a ball, she clenched her mother’s hands tightly, and whimpered, “Aniang, how are you doing… I shouldn’t be dreaming… Aniang, my daughter is obedient, A-Niang, don’t go away, okay?”
Madam Teng said in a trembling voice, “Okay, A-Niang won’t leave, A-Niang will stay by your father and daughter’s side, and will never be separated from you again.”
Teng Yuyi’s ears buzzed, and the sudden surprise overwhelmed her head. It took a long time for her to react. While trying to wipe away her tears, she said incoherently to Teng Shao, “Grandpa, did you hear me? It’s over.”
Teng Shao turned a deaf ear to his daughter’s words, still immersed in sadness, Teng Yuyi’s heart shrank suddenly, looking at Teng Shao and then at Mrs. Teng, her lips trembled: “Auntie, do you still want to leave? ”
Mrs. Teng’s eyes were full of sadness, and she stroked Teng Yuyi’s hair, crying without answering.
Teng Yuyi’s mind was empty, from ecstasy to despair, it only happened in an instant, this kind of blow was so cruel, it crushed her internal organs in an instant, she lowered her head in a daze, and raised her head again dumbfounded: “Mother, I, I I can’t bear you, please don’t go, please, A-Niang.”
She grabbed Madam Teng’s belt and cried like a child.
Mrs. Teng’s eyes were heartbreaking, but her words were cruel: “A-Yu, how can A-Niang give up on you? But A-Niang and you are forever separated, so A-Niang can’t help but leave.”
Teng Yuyi’s entire chest was hollowed out. It felt like a blunt knife slicing flesh, gouging out her heart one at a time, she looked at that gentle and amiable face, and said slowly, “A-Niang, why did you coax me just now?
” Come to your side.”
Teng Yuyi’s tears couldn’t stop flowing down, and she opened her arms at her mother: “Auntie, then you hug me again.”
Mrs. Teng bent down with tears in her eyes, Teng Yuyi pressed it even more, her face suddenly sank, and she went from With a sword in his sleeve, he came out.
The sword edge stabbed Mrs. Teng unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi trembled with tears in her eyes: “How could A-Niang deliberately torture her daughter? You are clearly a monster. You dare to pretend to be my A-Niang. I will fight with you!”
Mrs. Teng’s tears were still hanging on her cheeks On the side, there was no way to avoid it, her nails were as red as cherries, and instantly rose several inches, a strange smile appeared on her face, and she reached out and grabbed Teng Yuyi’s heart.
At this moment, there was a sharp screeching sound from behind, and a golden arrow shot into the air, hitting Mrs. Teng’s eyebrows.
Mrs. Teng’s eyes slanted upwards, leaving Teng Yuyi to catch the strange golden arrow, but at this moment, another silver chain flew out and wrapped around Mrs. Teng’s neck with lightning speed. .
Zhexie clasped the silver chain with both hands, and his eyes became extremely violent, but it didn’t have time to tear the chain and was dragged away from the place.
Someone ecstatically said: “Caught! Caught!”
“Patriarch, bless! I didn’t expect that the old man could catch the corpse evil in his lifetime!”
“It’s still the best way for the prince, if he didn’t endure until now, can he attract the corpse evil ”
Hahahaha, it is busy setting traps in order to confuse people’s minds, and it is not wary of the mantis catching the cicada or the oriole. After all, it is still a trick, I see where it escapes.”
“Miss Teng, you don’t know why Keeping you safe from injury, how hard we had to endure this night!”
But Lin Chengyou said, “Have you been making enough noise, hurry up!”
Teng Yuyi fell on the ground to breathe for a moment, looked up, and saw the night sky counting up and down The figures, as vigorous as rabbits, shuttle back and forth, and the corpses are locked in the middle.
Lin Chengyou carried the arrow box on his back, and flew down from the top of the tree. The corners of his robe were fluttering, as fast as a falcon. When he reached the front, he flipped his wrist and put up a faint yellow talisman between his two fingers.
The corpse evil struggled more and more violently. Seeing Lin Chengyou approaching him, it clenched its fists through its claws, and its yin qi instantly soared.
Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, and Teng Yuyi was also stunned. She saw that Lin Chengyou had used the lock soul several times, and she remembered that this thing was invincible.
In the strange cry of “squeak, squeak”, the soul lock fell away, like a long snake that was cut off, thrashing on the ground from east to west.
Lin Chengyou’s face did not change, not only did he cast off his force, but instead urged the talisman between his fingers to shine like a candle.
Zhe Xie raised his hands, his arms were as stiff as wooden sticks, and he wanted to grab Lin Chengyou’s neck, but he was a step too late.
There was a thick stench in the air, and the five Dongming Guan Taoist priests were refreshed and immediately dispersed, each holding a sword, muttering words in their mouths.
Lin Chengyou pulled out his hand, and with a “whistle” in his mouth, the soul locks on the ground quickly closed into a ball, re-turned into a silver snake, crawled softly for a while, and stopped at Lin Chengyou’s feet.
Lin Chengyou leaned over, took it into his hand, and fiddled with it twice: “Don’t cry, come to my arms to raise it first.” Suohunzai lowered
his head, quickly stopped sobbing, and climbed to Lin Chengyou’s chest and arched his head. The owner’s front placket suddenly disappeared.
Teng Yuyi wiped away the cold sweat and turned to look at the corpse evil. She looked like a mother. This woman looked at most fifteen or sixteen years old, with high buns and double buns, bright colors, small and round cheeks, and rosy and full lips.
If you don’t know the details of it, just looking at its innocent appearance, you will definitely recognize it as a girl from a noble family.
Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth and got up. The illusion just now almost crushed her heart, liver and lungs. Everything was fake, and it was only her mind that was bewitched. Knowing that Zhexie’s methods are good, she didn’t expect it to be so realistic. When
she saw the clothes on Zhexie’s body, she became even more angry.
Zhexie was actually wearing A-Niang’s Danyunxia brocade dress. The lights in the room had been turned off for no reason before, thinking that it was to confuse her to enter the room and steal A-Niang’s relics.
Dongmingguan murmured and recited the mantra, and the end of the sword shot out five snow lights, and the corpse was trapped in the formation, unable to move even a single strand of hair.
The crowd was both surprised and delighted. The previous scene made people break into cold sweats. Madam Teng was in a dream, and her life might not be saved at any time. In order to grab the soul of the prey, the corpse evil put all her heart into torturing the prey, and planned for a day. One night, I finally waited for a golden opportunity. Lin Chengyou only wanted to hit it with one blow, and he endured it until the last moment before making a move.
This kid has a bit of evil in the middle, and his actions are very different from ordinary Taoists, but if it is not harder than the evil spirit, how can he successfully catch the corpse evil?
Madam Teng was even more unexpected. Who would have thought that she would cry so hard that she would not forget to plot against the corpse evil.
Lin Chengyou took out a long golden scorpion from the quiver on his back, and while pulling the arrow and pulling the string, he slowly stepped back: “Miss Teng, you are uneasy, go back to the house first, if you dare not move, you can hide behind me. Wu Dao shouted: ”
Ms. Teng, we have been lying in ambush nearby. In order to successfully capture the corpse evil, we dare not act rashly when the corpse evil enters the house. It is estimated that there are dozens of people in your house who are under the influence of the corpse evil. People, I can’t wake up all of a sudden, please wake up Juesheng and Qizhi, and let them feed everyone the talisman soup.”
Teng Yuyi staggered and stood up straight.
She glanced at Lin Chengyou, she was crying and crying, she must have been seen by them, and she couldn’t care about it, the corpse evil was too difficult to deal with, since she volunteered to be the bait, she should have been prepared.
Even so, Teng Yuyi was still a little uncomfortable. The secret hidden deep in his heart was suddenly seen, like the armor on his body was openly peeled off, revealing the soft and fragile part inside.
Her eyes were sore, and the tears were still dry on her face. In order to hide herself, she could only clear her throat as if nothing had happened, but she found that she couldn’t make a sound. She mistakenly thought that she could speak, but it was just an illusion caused by a corpse evil.
She was worried about her grandfather and cousin, and hurriedly looked around, but couldn’t see her grandfather’s figure. No wonder she never spoke to her in the fantasy world, and it was because of the evil spirits.
Teng Yuyi ran to Songtao Garden, and right at this moment, she saw the immortal staggered, and the formation was in chaos. Fortunately, he stood firm immediately, but the corpse evil was motionless, but his eyes were rolling.
Lin Chengyou has drawn the bowstring fully, and looked at the corpse evil with a smile: “You are the corpse evil? I have long admired your name. It’s uncomfortable to stay underground, and you want to run out to breathe? It’s a pity that you bumped into me and made you jump for two days. Give me where I came from tonight.”
Zhexie struggled in the formation, suddenly blinked his eyes, and shouted to Lin Chengyou, “Brother.”
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, this was clearly the voice of Azhi County Master, and when he looked at it, Zhexie’s appearance did not change, but his demeanor and tone were different from that of Azhi County. Ash is exactly the same.
Lin Chengyou seemed to be stunned for a moment, and the corpse evil burst into tears: “Brother, I’m Azhi. You promised to teach me how to ride, so why are you ignoring me? I’m afraid, brother, come and hug me.”
Teng Yuyi Looking at Jianmei and the others, I saw that they were all sweating profusely, thinking that each of them was trapped in a fantasy world. She had experienced the methods of corpse evil. I have to remind him, if he is also in the game, don’t even think about surrendering the corpse tonight.
Lin Chengyou looked strange, looking at the corpse evil for a moment, maybe Lin Chengyou’s mind was disturbed, the corpse evil could not move at first, and gradually his arms could be put down, it stomped its feet, and said with a pouting: “Brother, are you still Angry with Azhi? Last time I knocked over your baby, didn’t my brother punish me?”
Teng Yuyi was sweating profusely, wishing to run to Lin Chengyou immediately, but the corpse evil in the formation burst into tears, her brows and eyes were also dazed. More and more like Azhi.
Although the bowstring in Lin Chengyou’s hand has not been lowered, the arrow has not been fired yet.
“Azhi” approached Lin Chengyou step by step, and said, “I want to eat the Yuhan mud made by my mother. The jade mud that my brother made for Azhi last time was not good, and it turned into coke. Brother, I’m hungry, take me home.”
It walked faster and faster, much faster than Teng Yuyi, with crystal tears hanging on its cheeks, and after a few more steps, it was about to fall into Lin Chengyou’s arms.
Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth, raised her skirt and ran wildly, suddenly hearing a sharp sound, the arrow came out from the string, and the golden light flickered, hitting Zie Xie’s forehead.
Zhe Xie was not on guard, leaned back, staggered several steps in succession, and returned to the formation.
Lin Chengyou sneered and said, “It’s just right for you to get closer to save me the effort.”
Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, Zhe Xie raised his arm and tried to pull the golden arrow from his forehead, but the arrow seemed to have grown into the flesh and could not be pulled out no matter what.
Zhe Xie looked at Lin Chengyou sadly, and suddenly changed his tone: “little brother.”
Strangely, although this time it was also the voice of a little lady, the tone was very different from that of Azhi, and the voice was more immature.
Lin Chengyou was indifferent, and quickly drew out the second arrow, drawing the bowstring again.
Zie Xie said: “Little brother, I saved your life, but are you planning to kill me?”
Lin Chengyou seemed to remember something, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, Zhe Xie lowered his head, and sighed faintly: “That year You fell into the water at the Marquis of Lin’an, and I rescued you. You gave me pear candy and said you were going to take me to find my mother, but you turned around and left me alone. Little brother, I have been waiting for you to find me all these years. I didn’t expect to meet again, but you plan to kill me.”
Lin Chengyou was expressionless, but the movement of his hands stopped for a while.
Teng Yuyi’s mind was suddenly confused. She had also been to Chang’an back then, but that memory seemed to have been erased out of thin air.
If it wasn’t for the big dream a few days ago, she would not have known that a girl had rescued Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou had been looking for that little lady for many years, but she hated the vast sea of people, and there was no news, so she guessed that the girl was either old or old Xiao Xiao is gone, or not in Chang’an at all.
I didn’t expect Zhexie to spy on people’s hearts to such an extent, I just heard Zhexie’s sweet voice: “Little brother, I want to give you back that bag of pear blossom candy, but you let me go away, I’m your savior, why are you like this? Wait for me?”
Lin Chengyou didn’t respond for a long time, her eyes were clearly blurred, Teng Yuyi ran a few steps frantically, and was about to catch Lin Chengyou’s shoulder, but before she could push him, the second arrow came out of the string and shot at once Zhong Zhexie’s right arm.
“That’s how you deceive people?” Lin Chengyou’s face was full of contempt, “I think highly of you.”
He didn’t wait for Zhexie to speak again, and quickly shot the third and fourth arrows, one hit the left arm and the other The arrow hits the center of the belly.
Finally, he put the fifth arrow on the bowstring and said to Teng Yuyi, “Miss Teng, what are you doing standing here? It can’t do anything to me when it’s behind me.”
Teng Yuyi looked at it by the moonlight, Lin Chengyou looked relaxed, and the corner of his forehead stood But he was full of fine sweat, what could he do? I’m afraid this can only coax him.
Lin Chengyou seemed to be aware, glanced at Teng Yuyi, and then pulled the bowstring as if nothing had happened, this time aiming at Zhexie’s throat.
Teng Yuyi originally planned to find her cousin and grandpa, but she was not sure about it for a while. In case the corpse evil dressed Lin Chengyou’s grandma, grandpa, and uncle, she wondered if this guy could hold it.
Seeing that Lin Chengyou was about to shoot the fifth arrow, Teng Yuyi weighed it over and over and had to stand behind him.
The author has something to say: konjac sauce dew sunflower soup: a very light soup. Wang Wei has a poem: “Rice with sugarcane pulp and sunflower soup with konjac sauce”. It’s this soup.
