MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 18 (1)

Full of doubts, Teng Yuyi picked up a talisman and tried it again. This time, no matter how she fiddled with it, the talisman paper didn't respond.

She was about to get up to investigate, when Calyx Ji led two girls in.

"Young master is like a fairy, but the slave family would not dare to ask those vulgar fans to serve them. These two are our most talented musicians in Caifenglou, one is called Juanerli, the other is Baozhu, and Juanerli is good at Yuji. , Baozhu is good at playing the qin, they have always been performing arts and not selling themselves, and the slave family called them to come here, one to warm the wine for the son, and the other to present music to the son."

Juanerli and Baozhu shyly bowed: "I have seen the son."

Teng Yuyi looked over and saw that Calyx Ji would pick people. The two girls were about fourteen or fifteen years old. They were both beautiful and soft.

Calyx Ji smiled and said: "If you can barely get into the eyes of the son, the slave family will let them stay and serve the son."

Teng Yuyi said, "Just now, there was a man in a moon-white tuxedo shirt. He was about 30 years old. He was about that tall and had a peony flower as big as a bowl on his temples. This man has been here before, you know. His origin?"

Calyx Ji looked outside, then turned back and said, "You must have read it wrong, there is no one in the corridor? But our Caifeng Building is full of guests every night, and the kind of gentleman that the son said can be seen everywhere."

"I see that man walked towards the end of the corridor with two little ladies. Are there still many wing rooms in it?"

Calyx Ji blinked blankly: "Going further, there are only two wing rooms. I heard that the guests have booked in advance for tonight."

Teng Yuyi pointed at the two girls: "Leave them behind, and you can ask about the gentleman I mentioned."

Calyx Ji's face lit up, she was one of the fake mothers (Note 1) in this building, Juanerli and Baozhu were both Le Ling trained by her own hands. Because she was still innocent, she was quite a bargain. It means that the price is not cheap, just to give people warm wine and music.

The guests often ask them to accompany them at high prices, but they can only watch and can't eat. I can stay here tonight to serve this woman who is pretending to be a Hu, and she can also be a fake mother, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "The slave family will go and find out more."

Before leaving, he whispered to Juan Erli and Baozhu: "This son is decent and gentle, you guys will serve me well."

Juanerli and Baozhu responded quickly.

Teng Yuyi waited for a while, but did not see Huoqiu turn around, so he ordered the two women to pour wine.

"How long have you been here?" she asked kindly.

Juanerli is very quiet, and has hardly spoken since entering the house, but Baozhu is very lively: "The slave family was bought by my mother at the age of seven, and I have been practicing silk and bamboo under my mother's guidance for all these years. Caifenglou opened half a year ago. The mother brought the slave family to perform."

"Oh?" Teng Yuyi put the wine cup on her lips and sipped, "Caifenglou only opened six months ago?"

"Yes." Baozhu said again, "My son probably doesn't come to Pingkangfang very often, so I don't know. This building was originally a colorful silk shop. The owner and his wife died of a sudden illness the year before last. After the shop was vacant for half a year, It was taken over by a giant from Luoyang, decorated inside and out for a few months, and officially changed its name to Caifenglou."

Teng Yuyi looked around: "This place is quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle, and it was finally vacant. I figured that there are many people in this port rushing to ask for it, why did it take half a year to sell it?"

Baozhu and Juanerli looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "I think it was a lot of money to be sold, but only the Luoyang merchant was able to offer the price."

There was a smile on Teng Yuyi's lips. I'm afraid they didn't believe it. Besides the giants in Chang'an, there were also a large number of wealthy merchants living in Chang'an. Suddenly there was such a large shop in Nanqu, Pingkangfang. How could there be no one for half a year? People care? There must be a reason for it.

"I know if you don't tell me, this place isn't 'clean', right?"

Erji Qiang smiled and said, "The slave family doesn't know what the son means. The Caifeng Building sings and dances every day, and the cleaning is especially diligent. Why don't you say it's not clean? The wine needs to be accompanied by silk and bamboo. "啭" is to add to the fun of the son, this song is quite familiar with the practice of the slave family, and it is quite pleasant to the ears and eyes."

Teng Yuyi's face sank: "I don't listen to Qiuzi Le."

"Then, let's play "Sauvignon Blanc" instead."

"Forget it, I don't want to hear it."

Holding the **** in his eyes, he said coquettishly, "Young master is so hard to serve, do you dislike the craftsmanship of the slave family?"

Teng Yuyi waved at Baozhu, "Come closer, I'll tell you."

Baozhu didn't know what to do, so she could only draw her closer, and Teng Yuyi suddenly grabbed Baozhu's arm and rolled up her sleeve.

The two girls were startled, Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, this Le Ling's forearm was still smooth, the more it went up, the more scarred it became. When it reached the shoulder, the newly added bruises and purple marks were shocking.

Baozhu shivered: "What do you mean, son?"

Teng Yuyi let go of her arm, no need to look, most likely the same is true of Juan Erli.

"Have you been beaten every day?"

After all, the two of them were young, so the glamorous expressions on their faces disappeared when they heard these words, and a sad expression appeared.

Baozhu said sadly: "Since the son has known for a long time, don't make it difficult for the slave family. If you don't serve well tonight, Aunt Calyx will punish me and Juan'erli again."

Teng Yuyi smiled: "Well, how about we make a deal? Tell me everything you know, and my name is Caly Ji, and I won't embarrass you for half a year."

The two women looked at Teng Yuyi in astonishment, not to mention whether it was true or not. They had seen so many guests in Caifeng Tower, and this young man was the first to ask about their injuries.

"You don't believe it?"

"How can the slave family not believe it." Baozhu said sympathetically, "It's just that the slave family is begging for a living here, and they don't dare to talk nonsense. If the reputation of Caifenglou is affected, the master family and mother will definitely beat us heavily."

Juan'erli also said: "I beg your son's mercy, don't ask any more questions. With such a delicate heart, you must also know that the slave family's life is like a mustard."

Teng Yuyi sighed, "But what if someone knew that something was wrong with Caifenglou?"

The two girls were stunned.

"Look who is downstairs."

Teng Yuyi pointed out the window, and Juanerli and Baozhu followed, and suddenly two little Taoist priests with round heads and round heads appeared in the bustling crowd downstairs.

Most of the street is full of young men and women with dazzling clothes, but these two little Taoist priests are wearing robes and shoes, like two weeds falling into a pot of colorful meat soup.

The little Taoist arrived in front of the Caifeng Building, and the big dagger entered.

Sure enough, they were stopped and insisted on breaking in, but the temple visitors refused to let them go.

Teng Yuyi looked at Huoqiu upstairs, Huoqiu nodded, seized the opportunity to catch up, stopped Juesheng and Qizhi, and said something to them in a low voice, the little Taoist was stunned, and looked upstairs. .

Teng Yuyi rushed downstairs with a pleasant smile, but said to Erji: "How could a Taoist priest appear in Liumo on Huajie? This block downstairs will definitely reach the ears of your master. As long as your master is not stupid, you must guess. Someone has already spread the word about this. You tell me the whole story and the reason at this time, and the host and the fake mother will never suspect you, and I promise that as long as I am happy, I will have a way to make the fake mother stop. Dare to beat and scold you. This is a very good deal, think about it."

Juan Erli and Baozhu looked a little loose, Teng Yuyi took a sip of wine, looked up at the door, and Caly Ji went out to inquire about the man's origin, why he hadn't seen back for so long.

She touched the beard beside her mouth, got up and said, "I'll go out for a walk and come back to listen to you."

When I got to the door and looked to the left, the corridor was empty.

There is a wing on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are closed. In the wing room, Ying Yanyu sounded, as if drinking and having fun.

Teng Yuyi recalled the strange scene where the talisman paper was burning, so it was not easy to go to check it rashly.

"Why didn't you listen to the music in the room?" Calyx Ji wiped her sweat with a handkerchief, "But Juanerli and Baozhu didn't serve well? Don't be annoyed, son, the slave family will go in and teach them."

Teng Yuyi said: "Hey, I'm not busy, they serve you well. I asked you to inquire about that man just now, why did it take so long to come back?"

Calyx Ji pointed to the end of the corridor: "The slave family has searched the two wing rooms, and I didn't see the gentleman who the son said, so I went downstairs to ask around, there are quite a few men with hairpins and jades tonight, but either The color of the clothes is wrong, or the age does not match. Is it possible that the son is wrong?"

Teng Yuyi looked at the end of the corridor. It was by no means that she was wrong, but how could a good person disappear out of thin air?

It's a pity that I didn't pay attention to the two little ladies beside the man at that time. If I remembered the appearance, I would know if it was Le Ling in the building as soon as I asked Caly Ji.

That's all, Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom are coming. If there is really evil, they will deal with it.

She guessed that Huoqiu had already made arrangements downstairs, so she said to Qi Ji, "It's a little stuffy in the room. I want to take Juan Erli and Baozhu around the street and say hello to you first."

Calyx Ji rolled her eyes, Chang'an has always had the old practice of traveling with prostitutes, or to accompany wine orders, or to help chant against each other, as long as you give enough money for a few days.

But after all, Juanerli and Baozhu haven't officially accompanied the guests, if they can't watch them when they go out...

She smiled dryly: "This wing is facing the street and facing the moon, and it's a must to enjoy the scenery and people. Why should you go to the distance, son-"

Teng Yuyi took out a bead from the sachet: "I have a quirky temper. I don't like staying in the room when listening to music. If you agree, this thing will be yours."

Calyx Ji's eyes were straight, it was a colorful bead, she had seen many rare gems from all directions, but she had never seen such a gorgeous gem.

Teng Yuyi smiled and threw the beads to Calyx Ji. These are the colorful glazed beads that she bought from a food businessman five or six years ago when she was still in Yangzhou. The Hu people were new to the market and didn't know the market, and they only sold for 20 bucks a pack. She happened to bump into them. Bought two packs in one go.

Later, the merchant knew that this thing was rare in the Central Plains, and his intestines were blue with regret. The only dozen left are now sold for 10,000 yuan.

Calyx Ji put away the beads and smiled like a flower: "This is called Ju'erli and Baozhu coming out of the slave family. It's just that they rarely go out in the past, so don't take them too far."

Teng Yuyi brought Juanerli and Baozhu downstairs, and deliberately looked back when they came out. As expected, there were two sneaky strong men behind them, who thought that Caaji had sent them to monitor them.

Huoqiu came up to him and said, "Sir, the villain stopped the two priests, and they are now beside the car, but they seem to be in a hurry to leave and are a little impatient."

"Understood." Teng Yuyi said, "There are two tails at the back, try to lead them elsewhere, and don't let him see that I have dealings with the two priests."

Huo Qiu responded and dealt with it by himself.

Teng Yuyi waited for a while after going out of the building, and when she looked back, she realized that the two strong men were gone. She led the two girls to the back of her car, and saw Juesheng and Qizhi Duzui standing beside the car. The light and shadow of the lantern shone on them. On his chubby cheeks, he looked like two fluffy peaches.

"Two priests, stay safe."

Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a while, although Huo Qiu had told them that the bearded man was disguised by Teng Yuyi, it still seemed funny at close-up.

The two said with a sullen face: "Teng—"

"My surname is Wang." Teng Yuyi interrupted the two with a smile.

Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi Xin knew that she was deliberately concealing her identity, and immediately changed their tune: "Your Highness, why did you stop us here."

Teng Yuyi turned her head and said to Juan Erli and Baozhu, "You two wait in the cart."

As he spoke, he led Juesheng and Qizhi aside: "I followed the instructions of the two Taoist priests to unravel the curse. Where are your brothers and sisters now?"

Jue Sheng touched the back of his head: "Senior brother, let us come first and stay in the temple to clean up the mess, but we have been here for half an hour, and we haven't seen him show up."

As he spoke, he tiptoed and looked at the crowd.

Pick up the pieces? Teng Yuyi remembered what her aunt said.

"No wonder my uncle went to Qingyunguan to look for your senior brothers in the morning. The door is closed, what happened?"

Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom looked at each other.

Yesterday at noon, senior brothers and masters worked together to bring back the soul of Mrs. Anguo, but when the "door of the mysterious female" opened, it attracted a lot of ghosts.

The senior brother intends to train them and entrust them with the work of expelling the ghosts, while he continues to stay in front of the well to attract the soul.

Although they had also followed their senior brothers to get rid of many ghosts, it was the first time they had dealt with Specter alone, and they had made a lot of mistakes just by dealing with the resentful little devil.

In this way, he exorcised ghosts and summoned spirits. In the second half of the night, the senior brother finally brought back Mrs. Anguo's soul. Unfortunately, she had been away from the body for too long. Even if the soul returned to the body, Mrs. Anguo still showed no signs of reviving.

The senior brother closed the door of the mysterious female, and went back to the room to think of something with the expert. They took the opportunity to go in and see who the expert was, but were urged by the senior to go to sleep.

When they rushed to the scripture hall in the morning, the expert had already left, and Mrs. Anguo was still not awake, but fortunately, her spirit was much more stable.

In the afternoon, my brother called two old Taoist priests who were proficient in the secret art of Minglu, and asked them to recite the Anpo Mantra for Mrs. Anguo every day from now on, but whether they could wake up or not depends on Mrs. Anguo herself. good fortune.

When they entered the wing, Anguo Gong was talking to his senior brother. Anguo Gong was very old and haggard, and said to his senior brother in a hoarse voice, "I was troublesome for the sage last night—"

Upon seeing the two of them, Duke Ang swallowed the words, and the senior brother turned his head to look at them, and said nonchalantly, "It's good for you to come, I will let them prepare dinner earlier, and you two will leave for Pingkangfang after dinner. "

"How about you, brother?"

"You go first, I'll be there later."

But they have all been to Pingkangfang for more than half an hour, and there is still no sign of their senior brother.

Thinking of this, Qizhi said apologetically to Teng Yuyi, "It is estimated that when Dr. Du came, Guanli was busy attracting Mrs. Anguo's soul. Tomorrow Guanli will open as usual, so I can only trouble Dr. Du to run again tomorrow. gone."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said, "I will tell my uncle when I go back."

He smiled again: "Since you guys are going to Caifeng Building to get rid of troubles, can you find out what happened in this building?"

Juesheng and Qizhi frowned. They only knew that Caifenglou had been a monster for a month, but they didn't know what kind of monster it was.

After I came here just now, don’t ask questions. I didn’t even go in the door of Caifeng Building. Instead, I asked the merchants nearby. But these people thought they were afraid of offending the owner of Caifeng Building, so they didn’t dare to tell the truth.

Teng Yuyi smiled slightly: "If someone is willing to tell what happened in Caifenglou during this time, would you like to hear it?"

The two of them were refreshed: "What did Mrs. Teng hear?"

"Caifeng Tower kept silent, it took me a lot of time to talk."

Before the two of them could speak, Teng Yuyi added: "Besides, I also encountered strange things in the building. I can tell you what that person looks like, but you have to agree to a request."

The two looked at Teng Yuyi defensively: "What, what is the request?"

"You have to convince your senior brothers to help me unlock the evil spirit ring."

Jue Sheng looked very embarrassed: "To be honest, when we returned to the temple yesterday, the senior scolded us severely, saying that the poisonous insects are not a good thing, and Mrs. Teng deceived the poisonous insects for no reason, and she must have no good intentions, but senior I also said that as long as Mrs. Teng is willing to say what you want to do with the bug and take the initiative to return the itchy bug back to the temple, he will unlock the evil spirit ring for you."

Teng Yuyi's eyes twitched, she asked for so many things, she was only trying to deal with Duan Ningyuan and Dong Erniang, how could she leak it out in advance? Moreover, she had already handed the itch bug to Cheng Bo to run errands. Now that she has no worms at hand, she can give it back to Lin Chengyou.

However, she came out today and made up her mind to understand the curse. Lin Chengyou is in trouble. Isn't there still the Absolute Sage and Abandoned Wisdom? Since it is the spell of Qingyun Temple, these two little Taoists can also solve it, so she pretends to sigh with disappointment. He sighed: "This sword is extremely precious to me. If I can't untie the evil spirit ring tonight, I am afraid that I will be seriously ill. The two little Daoists are kind-hearted, why don't you help me solve it tonight? I will return the itch bug to Qingyunguan tomorrow."

Juesheng and Qizhi scratched their heads. At first glance, these words seemed to be fine, but if you think about it carefully, if the curse was lifted in advance, would Madam Teng really return the tickles? Besides, if she had a clear conscience, why did Mrs. Teng refuse to say what she was doing to get rid of itch bugs.

He must be really a bad person, but the melancholy on Mrs. Teng's face doesn't seem to be pretending...

Abandoning wisdom is easier to soften than Juesheng, and after struggling for a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Teng, are you trying to do something bad by tickling bugs?"

"Of course not, do I look like a bad guy."

Qizhi and Juesheng glanced at each other and sighed, "Forget it, neither I nor Juesheng can unlock the spirit ring, but there is a way to get senior brother to help you unlock the curse, Mrs. Teng, come over here."

Qizhi said a few words in Teng Yuyi's ear, and finally said, "This is the best way we can think of. If Mrs. Teng did as she was told, senior brother might have lifted the curse on the spot."

Teng Yuyi was thinking in his heart that he could come up with something useful anyway. This method was easier and more feasible than he thought, but he didn't know if it would impress Lin Chengyou.

"Madam, this time you can tell us what happened in the building."

Teng Yuyi took out the talisman paper that Dongmingguan Wudao gave her, and told what happened just now.

Qizhi thought for a while and said: "The five Taoist priests in Dongmingguan have always regarded themselves as beautiful men. It is not strange to call this talisman the five-beautiful celestial talisman, but to put it bluntly, this thing is the yin finger talisman that can recognize demons and ghosts. Just now Most of the man you saw was a monster and a sage, since Mrs. Teng brought Le Ling out from the building, you should stay and listen to what they have to say, and I'll go check it out in the building."

Teng Yuyi stopped Qizhi: "Hey, don't worry, the Taoist priest is dressed like this, and you will only be stopped again if you try to break in. It's better to change your clothes and let Huoqiu send someone to take you in. Also, if that monster doesn't It's easy to deal with, are you not afraid of danger when you go alone, just now you said that Lin Chengyou is coming soon, why don't you wait for your senior brother?"

Qizhi and Juesheng looked at Teng Yuyi gratefully, and knew that Mrs. Teng would not be a bad person, look how much she cares about them.

"Senior brother said that we are too old, and he can't always take us to get rid of evil, and maybe he has already come, he just deliberately did not show up. Since evil has appeared, Pindao first went to explore the way."

Juesheng took out an arrow-like object and handed it to Qizhi: "If you can't handle it, remember to release the arrow in time."

Chi-Chi nodded.

Huo Qiu has quick hands and feet, quickly bought clothes, and took Qizhi into the building as a young son who was traveling with his father.

Not long after, Huoqiu came out of Caifeng Tower and returned to guard outside the car. Teng Yuyi was about to put down the curtain, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a Taoist man in blue with bright hair and pale face in the crowd.

This man held a tall yellow banner in his hand, and on the banner was written: Yin-Yang Xie Li, omniscient.

The old Taoist walked to a ginkgo tree on the side of the street, sat down lazily, threw back the hat strap that fell on his shoulders, and stretched his voice: "Good and evil, good and bad, good and bad, each has its root; if you want to ask about the future, And take the money."

This person is different from the orthodox fasting talisman Taoist priest. He is obviously a wandering Taoist priest who tells fortune-telling and divination. Jue Sheng secretly pouted. He has seen such people a lot. Let them find out that the priest is doing bad things, or - hum.

Teng Yuyi was about to take his eyes back, but the old Taoist suddenly glanced in the direction of Duche, with a smile in his eyes and a strange expression.

Teng Yuyi gave Lao Dao a strange look, put down the curtain, and said to Juan Erli and Baozhu, "Now we can say, what happened in the building?"

Juanerli and Baozhu said uneasy: "Actually, the slaves don't know much."

"It's okay, just say what you know."

Baozhu looked out the window in fear: "The slave family heard from several fake mothers that the predecessors of Caifenglou, the owner and wife of that Caibohang, died as if something went wrong, and this place has not been around since they died. Peaceful."

Jue Sheng was surprised: "If you feel that the owner and his wife died wrong, why didn't they report to the officials?"

Juan'erli said: "The staff in the store reported to the official, but on the night the store owner died, several medical officers happened to be helping to administer needles. The doctors had been helping the store owner for some time, and the cause of death was not suspicious. As for the owner's wife, she hanged herself on the third day after the owner's death. Not only did she leave a letter before her death, but she also distributed valuable jewelry to temples. These temples are all famous ancient temples in Chang'an City. It has something to do with the death of the owner's wife, so although the magistrate from Wannian County came to see it, he didn't write anything about it."

"If that's the case, why do you say they died wrong?"

Zhuanerli and Baozhu are different from ordinary lowly women. They have been forced to learn to read and write since childhood. They speak well and articulate clearly.

Baozhu shrank back and said bravely: "I heard from the fake mother that Caibohang always only sells expensive silk and color, as long as they are famous prostitutes in Nanqu, most of them have patronized Caibohang. The owner is forty years old and has a physique. Stronger than ordinary people, he was originally poor and helpless, and he started his life entirely by his wife's dowry.

"The couple have been married for 14 years, and the wife has nothing to show. The shop owner said something, and finally persuaded the wife to agree to take a concubine. Not long before he fell ill, he just bought a beautiful concubine from Yuezhou. I often beat and scolded the concubine. Once the shop owner took the shop's staff to buy goods from other cities, the wife tortured the concubine even more severely. The concubine could not bear the humiliation and secretly jumped into the well and died. On the day of her death, the shop owner just came back from the other place and heard the news of the concubine's death, The owner of the shop was so angry that he passed out, and he started to have a headache when he woke up.

"The owner's wife is domineering, and immediately rushed into the yard to curse, saying that the lowly maid was fascinated and harmed in her lifetime, and she dared to make trouble after her death, because the scolding was so loud that many people nearby heard it. Soon the owner's wife went to the nearby Qing Kingdom. The temple invited the talismans to the yard, and it was peaceful after that, but the shopkeeper's illness was up and down, and many medical officials were invited to see it, and they all said that it was a head wind. Not anymore.

"The death of the owner's wife is even more bizarre. Almost all the qualified false mothers in Pingkangfang have dealt with this lady, and they all say that she is very stingy, and even if she dies, she will bring her wealth into the coffin. , Because she was too unkind, the owner's wife had already cut off contact with her three relatives and six ancestors. She hanged herself, how could she be willing to give jewelry to the temple. The most frightening thing was the letter she wrote before her death..."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly asked, "What is written in the letter?"

Baozhu became more and more frightened, and looked at Juanerli as if asking for help, who shuddered and stammered:

"That letter was densely written with the same sentence: I am a dog, not worthy of living; I am a dog, not worthy of living..."

There seemed to be a gust of cold wind blowing in the car, and Teng Yuyi admitted that she was not too timid, but the coolness still appeared on her back.

Jue Sheng cleared his throat and said, "I heard that going to take revenge like a ghost, using a blind trick to confuse the innkeeper's wife, first tempting him to write a book of sins, and then making him hang himself, such evil things have not yet become a climate, or they will be overpowered or subdued. , after all, it won't be a long-term chaos, and later did anyone come to do the ritual in this place?"

"The judge checked for a while and determined that the shop owner and his wife were not harmed by outsiders, so they closed the case. Because the shop owner and his wife had no children, the officials had to put the shop up for sale. But since then, there have always been strange noises in the building, and the neighbors listened to them. Out of fear, I gathered money and invited the big monk from Qingguo Temple to see it. The big monk said that there was indeed some injustice in the store, so it would be fine to do a few rituals. In those days after the rituals, I heard that the shop was quiet a lot, but every time When someone comes to look at the shop, they will see unclean things in the building, and after half a year, the shop has never been sold out."

Teng Yuyi said, "Why is this new shop owner from Luoyang willing to sell the shop?"

Baozhu looked at Juanerli and asked, "Didn't you hear the whole story that day, what the fake mother said."

Juan Erli recalled the situation that day, and spoke again: "The day the new shop owner came, he found a very powerful warlock to help him look at each other. , this kind of treasure is the most suitable for the business of yin people. The color and silk business of the women in the front can make a lot of money every day. If the new store opens a brothel, it will naturally become famous for a while. Although there are some unclean things in the building, it is not without The way to solve it, just make a lotus pure child treasure statue in the backyard, and you will be safe."

Teng Yuyi nodded: "It seems that your new owner has done what he said. After the opening of Caifenglou, the business has indeed been booming. What happened later, does the magician's method not work?"

"Actually, the strange things have never stopped, but the business is unexpectedly good. Our shop owner is reluctant to make a large daily income, and secondly, we are afraid that the way we invite people will affect the business, so we keep it a secret."

Speaking of this, Juanerli and Baozhu were close to each other, and they were a little scared: "About three months ago, not long after Caifenglou opened, a customer from Hongzhou came to the store to have fun and got drunk. She was staying in the room of a lady named Ruanhong. When she slept until midnight, the guest heard footsteps outside the door. He thought it was a drunk, but the footsteps could not go away. People hurry up, but the person outside said: Nujia is soft red, it is so cold outside, Langjun quickly let Nujia come in."

"The woman's voice was exactly the same as Ruanhong's. The guest believed it to be true, and got up in a daze. Who knew that Ruanhong was wrapped in a quilt and slept soundly, and he woke up and pushed softly. Red let it wake up, but Ruan Hong couldn't wake up.

"That row of dormitories is in the northwest corner of the backyard, and the surroundings are already secluded, not to mention it's late at night, why didn't the woman knock on the door, why didn't the other people be disturbed? The more the guest thought about it, the more frightened he became. You are not soft red, don't play tricks here, and if you dare to make trouble again, I will make your fake mother punish you heavily!'

"The woman suddenly screamed and screamed: 'There is a ghost in your room, and I am the soft red.'

"The guest was so frightened that he didn't dare to open the door or go to the bed. He froze in the middle of the room and shouted for help. At this moment, the thing outside started banging on the door. The guest fainted and woke up. It was already dawn when the temple guests carried him onto Hu's bed. The guests suddenly looked at the soft red behind the fake mother and almost fainted again.

"Soft Red's face was very bad, and she said that she also encountered a strange thing last night, but what happened to her and the guest was exactly the opposite. When she woke up in the middle of the night and heard the guest knocking on the door outside, she turned around and saw the guest lying on the bed. There is a ghost, screaming for her to open the door."

Teng Yuyi's face was calm, but her body was cold, and she turned to look at Juesheng, Juesheng thought for a while: "It sounds like a sneak in the front, but it doesn't look like it in the back. Let's not say this, after Caifenglou opened, it looked like this. How many times has it happened?"

Baozhu said with a white face: "Let's not say there are three or four cases, strange people looking for out-of-town guests, the guests can't stay in Chang'an for a few days, and they leave after taking the compensation from the owner, so although those few people were scared, But almost no one in Changan knew about it.”

Teng Yuyi rubbed the chilly back of his neck: "This thing is so fierce, has it been opened for three months, no one has been injured or has an accident?"

Baozhu nodded desperately: "Yes, that's why the slaves were afraid. The first two months were fine, but there was a lady who was sleeping in the room, but woke up in the corridor, or saw a woman in front of her who was sick in the backyard. Okay, after chasing and calling twice, the woman disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"But just last month, a fake mother bought a stunning singer named Ge Jin from out of town. Ge Jin is not only good-looking, but also outstanding in poetry and melody. I know that I have made Caifenglou since I came here. A few days ago, Ge Jin accompanied Langjun out to play. First, he asked for a string of Buddha beads to protect his body in the temple, and then went to the water's edge to eat rice. He accidentally got his clothes wet and came back. On the 18th of last month, Ge Jin felt unwell and rested early, and heard footsteps outside in the middle of the night.

"Ge Jin hasn't been here for long, but I also heard about the strange things in the building. I know that things are often just outside the door, so I can just ignore them. I guess this time is different. The sound of footsteps is pacing. Then, she actually sneaked into the room, Ge Jin was so frightened that she opened her eyes, and she was grabbed head-on. In the dark, she heard a middle-aged woman scolding: 'Bitch, dare to seduce my husband!'"

"That claw was so heavy that half of Ge Jin's face was caught with flesh and blood. She covered her face and wailed. She felt the string of Buddha beads and threw it out in a panic. The woman just disappeared. Ge Jin kept calling for help. Only then did I hear a noise in the building, Ge Jin's fake mother called a medical worker, and the medical worker said that the injuries on Ge Jin's face were very serious, and her appearance may be difficult to recover."

Baozhu and Juanerli sighed sadly when they said this.

Teng Yu thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Huh?"

Jue Sheng also felt strange and asked Teng Yuyi, "Young Master, do you think something is wrong?"

Teng Yuyi said: "Listening to this description, it seems like the ghost of the shopkeeper's wife is haunting, but it was blocked from the door before, why can it break into the room this time? Suddenly the mana increased, or what else? The reason? And why don't you find someone else, but find Ge Jin."

Jue Sheng frowned and pondered over the sentence: "'Bastard maid, dare to seduce my husband!'... Either this ghost has broken through the forbidden seal that suppressed her, or Ge Jin and the beautiful concubine her husband married. Like, she misidentified someone, and under her anger, she broke through the cage at once. Then, what happened next?"

Juan'erli and Baozhu shook their heads at the same time: "These things are enough to scare people to death, especially Ge Jin, who has just come to prominence, as long as time goes by, he will definitely become the most famous person in Pingkangfang, but unfortunately his appearance is not enough. This is ruined. If our shop owner still refuses to speak up this time, I don’t know how many people will suffer in the future. The slave family guesses, the reason why Qingyunguan can be disturbed this time, I’m afraid, I’m afraid…”

The two of them pursed their lips, and Teng Yuyi answered, "I'm afraid it's the wind from Ge Jin himself?"

Juanerli and Baozhu remained silent.

Teng Yuyi said: "In order to suppress this matter, the shop owner and the fake mother either offered her money or threatened her with power, but Ge Jin was not willing to have her future ruined like this, so she wanted to seek justice for herself. Daoist priest, When did you hear about this?"

Jue Sheng said: "That day, my brother came back from outside to teach us our homework. He said that someone recently told him that the Caifeng Building in Pingkangfang might be strange. When he is a little prepared, he will take us around."

Teng Yuyi was a little surprised. As a trickster in Caifeng Tower, Ge Jin was not free to come and go. After the injury, the owner of the shop was afraid of leaking the news, and especially guarded her tightly.

According to her guess, it would be extremely difficult for Ge Jin to deliver a letter to Qingyun Temple, but she did not expect Ge Jin to find Lin Chengyou directly.

Could it be that a prince's son who was close to Ge Jin found something wrong, and that person went to Lin Chengyou to reveal the news.

Jue Sheng looked at Teng Yuyi, always felt that he was missing something, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Yeah, I said so many strange things, why didn't I hear a man in his thirties making trouble, two ladies, can you guys be upstairs? Have you ever seen a strange gentleman with a hairpin?"

Juan'erli and Baozhu were stunned and said, "Since the opening of Caifeng Building, the slave family has only heard of female ghosts, but never heard of male ghosts in the building."

The Absolute Saint pondered, if the man was fine tonight, how could the Five Beauty Heavenly Immortal Talisman in Lady Teng's hand ignite spontaneously for no reason.

"The slaves don't know much, maybe they missed it." Juan Erli and Baozhu said, "Master, the slaves have said everything that should be said."

Teng Yuyi judged the appearance and color, knowing that if they didn't say anything, she would tell them frankly: "You all get off the bus with me, I will show you around, and I will take you back to the building later. Say hello to Qi Ji, she will never dare to make trouble for you in the next six months."

The two daughters were very grateful when they saw that she did what she said.

Teng Yuyi's words changed: "Tonight, even the Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple have been brought in. If your shopkeeper wants to continue to conceal it, he will definitely take measures. If you hear anything strange, be sure to tell me."

Juan'erli and Baozhu replied, "I don't know when the young master will come to Caifenglou again."

"When I want to inquire about something, I will naturally come to you
