Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 161
[Chapter 123 (2)]
Grandpa, otherwise why would he rather have his soul scattered, and curse the descendants of the Teng family not to die well. Lin Chengyou was
silent for a long time, and the bitter resentment of more than 4,000 people turned into a powerful curse that was difficult to dispel.
There is no one who succeeds in casting a spell. Falling on the head of General Teng Lao, it was General Teng and Teng Yuyi who were harmed.
Whether the descendants of the Teng family wanted to or not, the rope of fate had already quietly locked their throats.
Even if they change their life style, those who are waiting for their father and daughter will be “killed” again and again.
Suddenly, Lin Chengyou’s heart was very sad.
Whose fault is this?
For the first time in his life, he could not give an answer, such a bloody past, such a tragic military disaster, even if he was in it, I am afraid he was not qualified to judge right or wrong.
After pondering for a while, Lin Chengyou shifted his gaze to Teng Shao’s underwear.
“General Teng wanted to draw all the curses to himself, so he prepared this dress in advance with the reverse writing of the Hidden Armor Edge?” There was clarity in his eyes, and more sadness.
Teng Shao’s expression was dull, as if he had already made up his mind: “Before this expedition earlier, there were high-ranking people who predicted that I would encounter an accident, just like Yu’er’s ‘past life’ experienced, I would still die at the age of thirty-eight.” After figuring out the truth of the wrong spell, I began to try to break the spell for me and Yu’er, but someone told me that the curse could only be resolved by the curse, and when I died wearing such a dress, I would be scattered and could not be reincarnated, and the wrong spell could only affect three generations, if I could take away the heaviest curse alone, the punishment that fell on Yu’er would be correspondingly reduced a lot…”
Speaking of this, Teng Shao closed his eyes: “I am like Lady Hui, I only hope that Yu’er can live in peace and security.
Perhaps referring to his wife, Teng Shao’s voice trembled slightly.
That year, her wife was restless all day because of the nightmares at night, and in order to dispel the disaster and send blessings, Hui Niang made a wish that as long as she passed by the Buddhist temple, she would burn incense and worship the Buddha.
That time, he took his wife and Yu’er back to Yangzhou, and when his wife saw the Buddhist temple on the shore of the Weishui River, she asked him to order the boat to berth, and when he entered the temple to burn incense, he happened to meet Abbot Zhiren.
The experience of the monk Zhiren was very different from that of others, he was a Taoist monk before he became a monk, and it is said that in his early years, he often went around with several Daoist friends and killed many evil things.
When he was middle-aged, Zhiren suddenly longed for Buddhism, so he simply gave up his Robe and fled into the empty door, and began to immerse himself in the study of Buddhism.
Zhiren and the monk were kind and kind-eyed, with fat ears that could reach their shoulders, and When Lady Hui saw that he was born different, she asked him about her nightmares.
Monk Zhiren asked Hui Niang when she had started having nightmares and what she had seen in the dream.
Hui Niang said that she had a nightmare when she was pregnant with her daughter, but after giving birth to her daughter, she did not do it, and when her daughter turned four years old, she once went to Baolian Temple to light a blessing lamp for the father and daughter, but unexpectedly, this lamp was a little, and the nightmare came to her again.
The monk Zhiren said that he had never heard that lighting a prayer lamp would cause injustice, and suspected that Hui Niang’s daughter had been cursed, and that any act of praying for the child’s blessing would be repulsed, and the reason why Hui Niang began to have nightmares again was because she had caused resentment because of her behavior of lighting prayer lamps for the father and daughter.
Although Hui Niang refused to believe that the two ancestors of king Teng had done anything bad, the recent encounters did make her feel strange, and when she learned that the Zhiren monk was both fluent in Buddhism and Taoism, she asked the Zhiren monk to have a way to crack it.
Monk Zhiren promised to help Hui Niang ask her former Daoist friends, and said that she would let Hui Niang withdraw the prayer lamps offered at Po Lin Temple, and if Hui Niang would not have nightmares from now on, it would mean that the child really had a spell on her body.
When she left the Bodhi Temple, Hui Niang made a wish in front of the Buddha as usual, but this time she did not pray for her husband and daughter again, but prayed for herself, she wished that everything would go smoothly, and the so-called “smooth” naturally included the peace of her husband and daughter.
After returning to Yangzhou, Hui Niang changed the prayer and wishing lamp enshrined in Baolian Temple to pray for herself, and indeed did not have nightmares that night.
For this reason, Hui Niang once again fell into a deep worry, during which time she continued to send letters to the Monk Hui Ren of Bodhi Temple, but it was not until half a year later that Hui Niang received a reply from the Monk Zhi Ren again.
Hui Niang opened the letter of the monk Zhiren and read it, and it was as if a basin of cold water was poured on the top of her head.
Speaking of this, Teng Shao’s eyes were full of regret: “I hate that I didn’t know anything about this at that time, no matter how Hui Niang asked me, I said categorically that the Teng family’s ancestors had never done anything bad, and Hui Niang couldn’t get the truth from me, she could only find the answer by herself, how tormented she was at that time, I couldn’t imagine it at all.”
Based on her husband’s words, Hui Niang was half suspicious of the words on the letter of the zhiren monk, but before long she not only slipped the tire again, but also heard the truth of the Nanyang War from Wu Yingying’s mouth, and Hui Niang knew where the tired white bones she had seen in her dream came from.
Hui Niang seemed to have fallen into purgatory, and the hatred of those ordinary people in the dream made her shudder, and every time she woke up from the dream, she would be frightened for a long time, it turned out that it was not a grievance of death, but a curse.
After a few days of anxiety, Hui Niang quickly made up her mind, in the past one or two years she had consulted many monks, only this Zhiren monk who was both fluent in Buddhism and Taoism said the crux of the matter, except for zhiren monks in this world, I am afraid that no one can help their father and daughter. The imperial court was urgently summoning the zhen navy to attack Tubo, and her husband was often absent from the palace in order to discuss military information, so she was afraid that her husband’s expedition would have an accident, so she went to the night to ask the monk Zhiren to come to Yangzhou to help put down the curse.
Zhiren said that he could not help, but he could not stand Hui Niang’s repeated letters for help, in the end his heart softened, he told Hui Niang the method that another Daoist friend thought, this Daoist friend was the Daoist leader of Cangzhou Youyouguan, who had helped a family to resolve the wrong spell in the early years, although it did not succeed in the end, but since then, The Daoist friend knows that this spell may be able to offset some of the evil obstacles with the blessings of the flesh and blood relatives, but the premise is that it is necessary to do a ritual, and this ritual is extremely difficult to do. It takes the joint efforts of the monks.
Zhiren also told Hui Niang that judging from her daughter’s life style, the child would encounter a turnaround in her fate when she was about five years old.
This turnaround was brought about by another blessed child. If Lady Hui wanted to do this ritual, the timing must be chosen before her daughter turned five, and after the threshold of five years old, no amount of prayer would be useless.
Speaking of this, Teng Shao shifted his eyes to look at Lin Chengyou, and in his deep gaze, the meaning of gratitude was clearly visible. Lin Chengyou’s heart was like a fierce wind blowing through it.
“A while ago, I finally found the monk Zhiren who lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the Zhiren monk guessed that she had experienced a lifetime after hearing that Yu’er could predict the aftermath. For this reason, he sighed for a long time, saying that Hui Niang had a Buddha’s fate, and the rituals of the first life had given Yu’er an opportunity to borrow her life, but because she relived her life, yu’er and I were trapped in this ‘rebirth’ spell. In this second life, Hui Niang still prayed for me and Yu’er with her own blessings…”
Teng Shao suddenly lost his voice even more.
This time, Hui Niang finally asked for an Ancient Excalibur for him and her daughter, but because someone in the “past life” helped Yu’er change her life against the sky, the spellcaster and Yu’er would continue to encounter demons and ghosts, which was a robbery for the two of them, and it was also an opportunity. That sword can slay demons and exorcise demons, if Yu’er is not afraid of hardships, she may be able to eliminate evil obstacles for herself by exorcising demons.
“Monk Zhiren told me that when Hui Niang understood the reason, she immediately wrote back to him that she was willing to do this ritual, and she said that it would not work at all, and since she had found the source of the nightmare, she would always try it, and if she told her husband about this matter in advance, with her husband’s temperament, not only would it be impossible to agree to do this ritual, but she would also drive monk Zhiren out as a demon to confuse the people.”
At the stake in the safety of the father and daughter, Lady Hui did not dare to take the risk easily, at least not before doing so, she could not tell her husband about it for the time being.
The monk Zhiren solemnly warned Lady Hui that her birthday was not more than a few years away, falseIf she had used her blessings to ward off disasters for her husband and children, her death would most likely have been as early as this year. Hui Niang said that how about a long life of 100 years, telling her to watch her children and husbands die one after another, she would be more sad than death. She was willing to donate her blessings to their father and daughter, but she did not believe that she could not return the favor.
Before doing this, Hui Niang bought small clothes and new jewelry for her daughter all day long, because her daughter always wanted Ah Niang to sleep in her arms at night, and she even made a ragdoll for her daughter by herself, and when she was refreshed, she would personally take her child to make desserts. For her husband, Hui Niang was deliberately estranged, because she was afraid that if the ritual was done, she would leave their father and daughter early, and the more affectionate the husband and wife, the more sad her husband would be. The more sad her husband is, the sadder she will be.
Making this arrangement, Hui Niang calmly waited for the ceremony.
Tears silently slid down from the corners of Teng Shao’s eyes, soaking his placket.
“This curse is aimed at my father, to punish, but also to come to me, only hate me powerless to resist this fate, and finally tired my wife and children, after learning the truth I often wonder, I and Hui Niang have never done evil things in our lives, why did we have this encounter?” The curse originated from the people of The First World War in Nanyang, but what did they do wrong?! He wanted
to hate, and no one could hate him.
Lin Chengyou’s heart was extremely bitter, and in the face of this despair that was comparable to struggling in the mud, the verbal relief seemed so powerless.
Teng Shao looked at a certain point in the void and suddenly smiled sadly, “I asked the zhiren monk, can this sword that Hui Niang asked for help Yu’er resolve the curse on her body?” The monk Zhiren said that although Yu’er used the Xiaoya Sword to remove many evil spirits, the curse may not have been resolved, because my seal hall is black, and there will be disasters recently, unless I go out on this expedition safely and without incident, I can show that this spell has been broken. So I prepared this mantra in advance, which is the most vicious self-punishment in the world, and only in this way can I resolve the most vicious curse in the world. Only when I also ended up with an eternal and irrevocable fate could I stop this disaster for Yu’er. Before the
words could be heard, Teng Shao suddenly gasped heavily, Lin Chengyou was shocked, and Teng Shao’s face was rapidly deteriorating.
The emotions of the person who was poisoned by the corpse should not fluctuate greatly, after all, this will prompt the toxin to spread around the body, when Teng Shao talked about the past, Lin Chengyou repeatedly wanted to interrupt, but Teng Shao was bent on using his own death to earn a glimmer of life for his daughter, and there was no will to survive, the words of the Zhiren monk came true, the curse on Teng Shao’s father and daughter was still there, from the moment he was injured by the complaining corpse tonight, Teng Shao was ready to die.
“General Teng.” Lin Chengyou was so worried that he grabbed Teng Shao’s jaw and shoved a grain of Talisman Dan into Teng Shao’s mouth. If you carry six yuan dan on your body, it is good, and the six yuan dan has a miraculous effect on detoxification. Unfortunately, after Shi Gong returned to Chang’an, he had not yet mixed this medicine, and the bottle that he did not leave his body on weekdays was against the tree demon in the Ziyun Building, and all of it was distributed to the unconscious Du Tinglan and others.
Thinking of this, Lin Chengyou was a little embarrassed, Teng Yuyi desperately saved his cousin’s life from the hands of the tree demon, but he also divided the six yuan Dan in advance, resulting in General Teng’s poisoning without any medicine to rescue him, this is not all doomed in the dark –
seeing that Teng Shao’s condition is getting worse and worse, Lin Chengyou suddenly ordered the stop, Get out of the car and pick up something from another carriage with a heavy load, and quickly return to Teng Shao’s side.
Open the baggage and inside is a box of preserves and a stack of makeup satin.
“General Teng.” Lin Chengyou lifted up Teng Shao and motioned for him to look at the object in the makeup satin, “This is the parcel that Ayu sent to the army, and it was sent out from Chang’an in June, but because these two months the town navy and the Shen Ce Army traveled from place to place, until last night, I didn’t receive it, a total of two things, the same is the preserves she made herself, it was for me.” The other was for General Teng. General Teng, take a good look, this is the summer dress that Ayu personally made for you. Teng Shao’s
tearful eyes fixed on the object in front of him, which was a Buddha-headed summer dress with some rough stitches.
Lin Chengyou lifted up the sleeves on Xia’s clothes so that Teng Shao could clearly see the intricate patterns on the top: “I don’t know how long it took Ayu to make this dress, but just by looking at the lines on this top, I know that she has poured a lot of effort, every stitch and every thread, every piece of clothing corner is sewn by her own hands, she knows that the army is hot, the lighter and softer the clothes, the better, and the clothes are sent to the army, nothing more than to let her father suffer less heat, General Teng, How much Ayu remembers her father in her heart, don’t you know? Teng Shao’s
nose fluttered, looking at the stitches through the mist of tears.
“When his father went out on the expedition, Ayu must be looking forward to his father’s safe return, if it was his father’s corpse waiting in the end, Ayu would feel sad in his heart.” Ayu has not had Ah Niang since she was a child, and when Ah Ye leaves again, she is alone. If you know that General Teng ended up with a soulless end in order to solve the curse for her, even if she can live a hundred years, I am afraid that this life will not be able to let go. General Teng, your and Lady Teng’s love for Ayu is deeper than I thought, but Ayu’s love for her grandmother is not necessarily inferior to yours. General Teng is strong and resolute, and there is no other choice to go to this step, but things have not reached the last moment, and there may not be no turnaround.
“Even for Ayu, please ask General Teng to support chang’an.” After saying that, Lin Chengyou solemnly draped the summer dress on Teng Shao’s body.
Teng Shao closed his eyes with tears, this dress was soft as silk, reminding him of his daughter’s white and tender cheeks when he was young, recalling that frame by frame passed in front of his eyes, making his heart as soft as cloth, silent for a long time, although he was already angry, he still struggled to chin his jaw.
***
On the way to qingyun temple, Teng Yuyi was unprecedentedly silent.
Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi rarely saw Teng Yuyi’s look so solemn, and they did not dare to rush into conversation.
Along the way, the Xuanyin bell on Teng Yuyi’s wrist rang a few times from time to time, and the bell was very slight, which showed that the evil magic power outside was low, and the absolute saint and the abandoned wisdom hand pinched the charm hoop, opened the window curtain and looked out, the night was dark, and the evil spirit could be seen floating on the street from time to time.
Teng Yuyi took care of himself once, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, in the past, the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom saw the evil spirit and accepted it, but tonight this way has never had the intention of shooting.
She asked the two, “Since there are evil spirits on the street, why don’t you accept them?” Aren’t you afraid that they will harm the people nearby? Jedi
shook his head, “Can’t take it.” These are just wandering spirits on the street, they were good people before they died, and they did not harm people after death, and the reason why they wandered and did not reincarnate was mostly because they had unfinished ambitions, and we could only help them to do things to help them cross, but we could not rush to beat them to pieces, which would damage yin morality and greatly damage their own cultivation.
Teng Yuyi asked again, “I remember that when the last time the Ruler was alive, the Dao Commander and his old man were afraid that the Ruler would break into the city, and he had already led the Daoist friends to lay a circle of imperial evil nets around the city.
Abandoning Zhi was worried: “It should be that someone secretly destroyed the Imperial Evil Net in a certain place, chang’an City Pool is so big, there are more than a dozen light city gates, and there are so many people who enter and leave the city every day, and some have the opportunity to damage the Royal Evil Net.” As long as there is a loophole, the wandering spirits and evil spirits will have a gap to drill, and even if we find the gap, we can’t prevent the gang from destroying another place.
Teng Yuyi nodded, it seems that someone deliberately wanted to stir up the wind and rain, in her opinion, most of them were the main family of the Haoyue scattered people, but when it came to this, she was a little confused: “These wandering souls can not harm people, and their mana is low, how can they be introduced into the city?” Overhearing
Ren Zhi said, “Lady Teng, didn’t you notice that those wandering spirits have been following our calf cart?”
Teng Yuyi hurriedly lifted the curtain to look out, it was the middle of the night, the streets and alleys were empty, and he didn’t see anything at a glance.
Abandoning Wisdom helped Teng Yuyi open the Heavenly Eye.
Teng Yuyi opened his eyes again, and saw that the street was full of shadowy ghosts, they followed the calf car, but they did not dare to get too close because they were afraid of Xiao Ya’s sword light.
“In the first few days, I and the Absolute Saint found that there were more evil spirits and wandering spirits near the Teng Mansion than in the surrounding places, but because the Master brother was in the mansionSet up a boundary, those things do not dare to trespass at will, Lady Teng, we feel that they are like these wandering spirits tonight, and they are very interested in you. Teng Yuyi lowered
the window curtain and thought darkly, this matter is really strange, even if she has always been prone to attract evil spirits, she has never seen such a group of wandering spirits following her before.
While thinking about it, he overheard Fu Fu respectfully outside the curtain and said, “Dao Chief.” Looking
out, it was indeed the calf of the Qingyun Temple, and the Qing Xuanzi came with it, as well as the Five Paths of the Eastern Ming Temple.
Wu Dao was frightened: “Qing Xuanzi, when our Eastern Ming Temple was famous in Chang’an, your Qingyun Temple was still an earth embryo!” Others are afraid of you, but we are not afraid of you. You called us out in the middle of the night, what the hell are you going to do? The wronged souls of this city are wrong, but why do you say that this is related to the wrong spell, and you say, who is the person who is in the middle of the curse? How did that man attract so many evil spirits? Seeing
the joy, he was not angry: “It is.” We’ve been walking around the streets for more than an hour, and we’re going to sleep if you don’t sleep. Besides, what does the wrong curse among others have to do with us? Even if you say that the sky is broken tonight, we will never follow you to qingyun temple.
Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi jumped out of the car: “Master Gong, it is so late, how did you come?”
Teng Yuyi looked at Qing Xuanzi and then looked at the five daos, looking at this posture, it seemed that she had come to find her specifically, and she rushed forward to greet her: “Dao Chief.”
Qing Xuanzi raised an eyebrow: “The hour is not early, why are you still shaking outside?” He
also threw off the forehead of the Saint and renunciation of wisdom with the dust: “There is a vision in the heavens, don’t you persuade Lady Teng to stay in the palace, and accompany her around, it doesn’t matter if you encounter some wandering ghosts, if you touch the ruler, just by virtue of the skills of the two of you, are you sure you can handle it?”
Teng Yuyi hurriedly apologized to Qing Xuanzi: “It doesn’t matter about the two trail chiefs, it’s because the juniors have urgent matters to go out.” Today’s junior went to a certain deceased person to verify a past event, and was about to go to the Taoist chief to inform him of the matter.
Qing Xuanzi froze for a moment, about to see that Teng Yuyi’s face was uglier than usual, nodded, and changed into a gentle tone: “That’s it, the outside is not clean, there is something to talk about in the guanli.”
Wu Dao refused to move, looking at Teng Yuyi, his face full of surprise: “Qing Xuanzi, the person you are talking about who wrongly cursed in his body is Teng Niangzi?”
Teng Yuyi didn’t have the heart to answer, and Qing Xuanzi didn’t take the stubble.
Seeing the sky suddenly realized: “No wonder Lady Teng always encounters evil spirits, it turned out to be -”
Most of the people who want to know the curse did not have a good ending, his eyes flashed, and the words behind his head did not go down. Miki and the others also looked different.
At this time, Qing Xuanzi and Teng Yuyi had already got into the car separately, and Wudao hurriedly jumped on the donkey.
“Old Dao, we will return to Qingyun Temple with you.”
The Absolute Saint said stupidly, “Are the seniors willing to go to the Qingyun Temple?”
Seeing the sky, he smiled and giggled: “Others don’t care, who is called the person who is cursed is Teng Niangzi, last time we bet in caifenglou and lost to Teng Niangzi, until now we have not fulfilled the bet, this time to help out should be a debt.” The
Absolute Saint renounced his heart and scratched his head happily.
Looking back, Teng Yuyi was also smiling, and Absolute Saint and Ren Zhi whispered, “No wonder Master Gong and Master Brother will think of the five predecessors when they have nothing to do, and they probably know that their hearts are not bad.” Lo and behold, when there was something really wrong, the seniors never seemed to shirk it.
