MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 31 (1)
Teng Yu thought about it for a while, and wrote on the plate: What kind of medicinal powder have your brothers played with in the Taoist temple recently?
"This—no." Qizhi thought about it carefully, "Senior brother has been a lot busier than before since he went to Dali Temple last year, so he spent more time in the temple last time for Mrs. Anguo to conjure the soul. Besides, I haven't served those herbs for a long time."
Jue Sheng said: "Ms. Teng, do you want to find a way to detoxify? But my brother respects the master very much, even if he makes a dumb medicine, he won't use the herbs in Guanli. I guess he mostly got it outside. There are a large group of Gaoliang disciples, and there are a lot of strangers in Fang Qulu Lane, so it couldn’t be easier to get some novel things to play with.”
There was a glimmer of hope in Teng Yuyi's stomach. It's easy to say that it's not a Taoist thing. Cheng Bo knows a lot of people. Do you want Cheng Bo to find someone to try? She doesn't stick to any tricks, as long as she can help her detoxify.
She also wrote: Speaking of aliens, you often go out to experience with your master and senior brothers, and you have seen many aliens.
Jue Sheng came to the spirit and stretched out three fat fingers: "Don't dare to boast, I started walking around Chang'an City at the age of six and a half, and it has been almost three years now."
Teng Yuyi pretended to be shocked: No wonder he was so knowledgeable at a young age.
Qi Zhi shyly added: "Qingyun Temple is famous all over the world, besides Chang'an, there are also many people who come to our temple from other cities. Want to hear something.
Teng Yuyi: Okay, then please help me to see this hidden weapon.
She slowly opened a pair of scrolls in the tray, and the light illuminated a strange object as thin as rain.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were stunned: "Hey, what is this?"
Teng Yuyi: Have you ever seen any foreigner use this kind of hidden weapon?
The two searched for the guts: "I haven't seen it before. There are many three religions in Chang'an City, but we have never seen anyone using such a subtle weapon. Can this hurt anyone?"
Teng Yuyi clicked on the drawing paper: it looked thin, but it could peel off the skin and break bones.
Jue Sheng snorted in surprise: "What is this supposed to do?"
Qizhi thought about it for a long time: "The thinnest hidden weapon we have ever seen is Senior Brother's Soul Lock, but that thing was originally transformed by a worm. When Senior Brother makes it thick, it has to be thick, and if you make it thin, it will become thicker. It is thin, but after all, it likes to eat sugarcane pulp all the year round, and after entering our temple, it eats well and sleeps soundly, and its figure is much stronger than it was a hundred years ago.
Teng Yuyi was a little disappointed. Uncle Cheng had never seen this character, and Juesheng and Qizhi had never heard of this special technique. It seemed that this person either did not practice this skill often, or was not from Chang'an. Otherwise, with Uncle Cheng's ability, he should have Got some clues.
It took Teng Yuyi a lot of time just to write these words on the tray. If she wanted to find out more, she was afraid that she would not be able to finish it until dawn. She hesitated for a while, and rolled up the scroll with an apologetic expression: "It's been so long. , the two priests should have been tired long ago, right? Without delaying the Dao Chang's sleep, it's time for me to leave.
Qizhi and Juesheng hurriedly said: "Tonight we have to watch out for corpse evils coming to our door. We shouldn't just focus on our own sleep. Madam Teng came to visit us. It's too late for us to be happy."
The two rambled on to the corridor, and the maid in front of the steps greeted them with a lantern. Teng Yuyi went down the steps by herself, urging the two to go back to the house.
When the two returned to the house, she thought as she walked, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were young, but their behavior was extremely well-mannered, and they had nothing to do with Qing Xuzi's teaching. I don't know if the two of them have a mother and father. They always talk about their masters and brothers, but they never mention their family. Such a warm and loyal temperament should not be the case, is it an orphan?
She moved with compassion, and met Cheng Bo with the servants to deliver supper. She opened the lid of the box and saw that there were two plates of pure white jade dew balls, and a large bowl of hot and fragrant apricots. cheese porridge.
Cheng Bo said: "According to the lady's order, the dim sum is the jade dew ball that the Taoist priest likes to eat, and the porridge is made by another vegetarian chef, and there is no meat or fishy smell."
Teng Yuyi: Abandoned Wisdom Dao's long hand and bones were broken, and he couldn't eat anything that emanated. He took out the apricot cheese porridge and replaced it with two bowls of konjac sauce and sunflower soup (note). The two priests can't sleep tonight, and they may be late tomorrow. Be careful to serve them in the morning, and don't disturb them.
The servant froze, only to know that it was a distinguished guest, but I didn't expect the young lady to value it so much, so she quickly gathered her spirits and went to prepare.
Cheng Bo added: "Ma'am, the sage served the master and several important ministers with wine and food. I heard that the banquet was very enjoyable, and the banquet has not been dismissed yet.
Teng Yuyi nodded, and Cheng Bo looked at her worriedly: "I wanted to ask my lady for a long time, you went out in the afternoon and it was fine, why did you get hoarse when you came back?"
Teng Yuyi wrote: I was about to ask Cheng Bo to help me think of a way.
***
Teng Yuyi didn't sleep well that night. When he woke up, he opened the curtain and looked in a daze. Du Tinglan was sitting on the low couch in front of the window and reading.
Teng Yuyi struggled to sit up and fell down again.
Du Tinglan heard the movement and walked over with a smile: "Wake up, my uncle came to ask you a few times, I heard that you haven't woken up, let us not call you, do you still want to sleep? It's noon time for sleep again."
Teng Yuyi rubbed her eyes, stuffed the puppet in her arms back to the pillow, opened the curtain, and slowly stepped out of bed.
Du Tinglan ordered Chunrong and others to come in to serve, and said softly to Teng Yu: "Don't be angry, it will be easy for my uncle to come back. We will tell my uncle what happened yesterday, and let my uncle go to negotiate with Lin Chengyou. As for not even giving face to courtiers."
It's useless. Teng Yuyi cleaned her hands, turned around and wrote in Du Tinglan's palm: "Sister, Lin Chengyou dared to pull Wu Shizhong's beard when he was fourteen years old. If he deliberately tried to make things difficult for me, he would not necessarily take Grandpa in his eyes.
Du Tinglan was stunned, what kind of people was Wu Shizhong, the elders of the three dynasties, and there were many students. The examination of Grandpa's Jinshi was presided over by Wu Shizhong. Grandpa said that he was a disciple of Wu Shizhong. No wonder he didn't get angry when he mentioned Lin Chengyou. as soon as it comes out.
"Then also let my uncle know that this poison is under Lin Chengyou, and he can't be bullied by him in vain."
Teng Yuyi: This matter started because of the itchy bug that I deceived Qingyunguan. If Grandpa knew that Lin Chengyou had poisoned me for no reason, he would definitely go to Lin Chengyou to settle the account.
Du Tinglan said hesitantly, "he promised to keep his mouth shut yesterday, so he won't go back on his promises."
Teng Yuyi didn't answer.
Du Tinglan's expression changed slightly, nodded and said: "I understand what you are worrying about, even if Lin Chengyou keeps his promise, the saint is his uncle after all, and he knows that his nephew bullies the courtiers and daughters. In order to preside over justice, he will punish Lin Chengyou heavily. The face is soft, and the breath is swallowed in the heart, after going back and forth, it's not a big deal for you to suffer, but it's a big deal for your uncle and Lin Chengyou?"
Teng Yuyi nodded: That's right.
Du Tinglan was speechless. The saint and the empress have always loved Lin Chengyou. Lin Chengyou often walked in front of the imperial palace. If he was willing to stumble upon his uncle, his uncle would also have a headache.
"You only said last night that your voice was hoarse, but you refused to tell Uncle Cheng the truth about the poisoning, because you were afraid that your uncle would find Lin Chengyou after he found out?"
Teng Yuyi nodded: If he was willing to detoxify, he would have done it last night. At this point, the only way to find out the antidote is by yourself. When I met my grandfather, my sister helped me to tell him the whole story. I only had to hide the poisoning, so that my grandfather would not be suspicious.
Du Tinglan patted Teng Yuyi's head, her eyes softer than the spring day outside: "Don't worry, sister knows what to say, our sisters haven't said so much for a long time, and sister feels very happy today, if the corpse can be removed smoothly Evil, it would be good to go to the Yuzhennv Temple for an outing."
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, realizing that my sister had not been able to see the spring of the coming year because of her tragic death in her last life. The words came out of my sister's mouth, which was inexplicably sad. Just as she was about to answer, Biluo lifted the curtain and said, "Miss, the master will send someone. Ask if you are up."
"Where is my uncle?"
"Entertaining the trail master in the middle hall."
The two of them went to the middle hall, and when they entered the door, they saw Teng Shao sitting on the top, taking off his military uniform and whip, wearing only a dark ochre round-neck tee shirt. At the age of forty, there were many gray hairs on the temples, and because of the frequent frowning, there were deep lines between the eyebrows.
Juesheng and Qizhi talked about the corpse evil, but Teng Shao was still a little skeptical: "The corpse evil that the two Taoists said was a deceased person a hundred years ago?"
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi probably stayed up all night, looking a little tired, and resisted yawning: "Now I have only roughly guessed its origin, and what the details are, Senior Brother is still investigating."
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan coming in. Juesheng and Qizhi secretly compared in their hearts. As expected of father and daughter, Lady Teng and General Teng not only looked alike, but also had the same quiet and indifferent demeanor when looking at people.
It's just that Lady Teng is more cunning and lively, while General Teng is as steady as a mountain.
Du Tinglan pulled Teng Yu and wanted to go forward and salute, but suddenly felt unable to move, and turned around in surprise, only to find that Teng Yuyi's face was pale.
"Ayu?"
Teng Yuyi's palms were sweating. In the last life, she couldn't see Grandpa for the last time. Grandpa was already gasping for breath when she rushed to leave. Because of the loss of blood, Grandpa's royal blue robe was dyed dark ochre. Look, I have mistaken the robe on Grandpa's body today for the blood-stained robe.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi quietly, and said solemnly, "Yu'er."
Teng Yuyi calmed down and stepped forward to salute calmly.
Du Tinglan smiled: "Waifu, uncle."
Teng Shaowen said, "I went to Du Mansion to pay homage in the morning. Your mother and father said that your sisters went back to Teng Mansion together last night. The sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that they are here, you might as well stay longer. Ayu is arrogant and just let her Learn more rules from your sister."
Du Tinglan humbled herself a few words, and Teng Yuyi calmly pulled Du Tinglan to the other side and sat down.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi: "Cheng An said you went to the poetry party yesterday, and your throat fell when you came back?"
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were heartbroken. Madam Teng hated her senior brother deeply, and she would definitely tell General Teng that senior brother was making fun of her. Unexpectedly, Du Tinglan said: "My sister said that she drank a few more dendrobium sugarcane pulp yesterday because of the coldness. When I was in the waterside, the cold wind blew again, and I was frightened at the back, and suddenly it was like this. I thought that my sister had been exhausted a while ago, and the wind and evil invaded the body for a while. , just eat some evacuation recipes."
Teng Shao's joy and anger were not visible, but he looked at his daughter silently. Du Tinglan was not used to lying, and he was inevitably uneasy in his stomach.
Teng Yuyi had already made up her mind, Grandpa would definitely check carefully, even if he found something, after all, Lin Chengyou was the only one who was present when he plotted against her, she just didn't admit it.
It took a long time for Teng Shao to speak: "Grandpa remembers that as long as you had a cold when you were a child, your throat would always be swollen and sore, and it was common for you to be unable to speak for several days. This time you accidentally fell into the water on your way to Chang'an. Although you were fine, what happened to you? I don't know. I was frightened last night, and it was triggered at the same time. Grandpa asked Yu Fengyu from the palace to go to the outpatient clinic. It’s good that the root causes of the disease go away together.”
Teng Yuyi bowed and said she understood.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi calmly, maybe it was an illusion. After her daughter came in, she didn't say a word, but her eyes were not as cold as before.
When he learned that Yu'er fell into the water earlier, he was extremely worried, and immediately put down everything and rushed to Chang'an, wearing the stars and wearing the moon all the way, and returned to Chang'an in only ten days.
After returning to the mansion yesterday, Cheng An had already told him what his daughter had done. When it came to plotting against Duan Ningyuan with Qingyunguan's poisonous insects, he was a little dumbfounded.
This child has many tricks, and if he is wronged, he will definitely pay it back. Although the position is correct, the method is a bit crooked. It is up to him to be the grandfather for such matters, but Yu'er chose to take action by himself. He felt guilt and sadness.
It's his fault that he has been busy with military affairs all these years, so he can't stay in the mansion to take care of himself every day, so even when Ayu encounters such a big event, he doesn't spontaneously ask his mother for help like other children.
He couldn't hide the embarrassment between his brows, and handed over to Juesheng and Jizhi, "Dare to ask the leader, after Teng learned about the evil and chaos last night, he temporarily transferred more than 100 personal soldiers and is now guarding outside the mansion. The corpse is evil outside the mansion."
Abandoning wisdom and sternly said: "This thing is different from ordinary evil, and it is not a problem to deceive the minds of more than a hundred people. If it wants to come, no matter how many guards it is, it will not be able to prevent it. Last night, the senior brother set up a large formation inside and outside the mansion, and it was only a suppression. It's just fierce. When the time comes, these guards in your house will probably kill each other, let alone defense."
Jue Sheng said: "General Teng, my brother said that instead of doing something in vain, it's better to wait for it to be caught. Back then, the blind patriarch of Dongmingguan only brought two apprentices to subdue the two monsters, even though his old man was buried because of it. life, but it also shows that the number of people to deal with the corpse is not too small."
The corners of Teng Shao's eyes twitched slightly. He was skeptical at first, but last night, the news of the evil attack on Chengwang's mansion had already spread. Yu'er had a strong heart. Although the others were not in Chang'an, they knew everything about the capital. They only knew that Daoist Qing Xuzi was not in Chang'an recently, but he didn't expect that this matter would provoke Lin Chengyou.
His chest was extremely chaotic, but his face was calm as water: "Last night, I relied on the prince and several Taoist chiefs to protect each other, Yu'er was lucky to be safe all night, and Teng was very grateful. If the corpse evil is really playing Yu'er's idea, tonight Will there be trouble again?"
Teng Yuyi looked out, the spring things were blooming in front of the window, and it was almost noon. Lin Chengyou boasted that she was safe, but there was still no movement. If there is still no countermeasure, I am afraid that there will be another fright tonight.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi moved their bodies uneasily: "The corpse evil usually comes out at night to make trouble, and the senior brother returned to the house in the morning. At this time, he was thinking of ideas with the five Taoist priests in Dongmingguan, if he could find the person who was deployed by Dongyangzi back then. The remnants are just fine, there are ready-made formations for reference, Senior Brother doesn’t need to make too many changes, I’m afraid that I can’t find them, so I can only think of other methods.”
Teng Shao probably also knew that Lin Chengyou had an erratic temperament, so he didn't even raise his eyebrows: "The prince has been taught by Taoist priest Qingxu for many years, and he has his own rules for doing things. "
Seeing that it was getting late, Teng Shao ordered Cheng Bo to arrange lunch. The chef knew that the two priests were the lady's distinguished guests, so he took the time to arrange them. Face was invited to the seat, and Teng Shao personally accompanied him.
After the meal, Teng Yu agreed to go to the small courtyard where Jue Sheng Qizhi was staying with his cousin, but Cheng Bo came to her: "Madam, sir, please go to the study."
Teng Yuyi knew that Grandpa would have a lot of questions to question her, so she figured out how to answer, went back to the room to get the scroll, and went to the study with Uncle Cheng.
When he entered the door, he saw Teng Shao standing in front of the cedar wood Duobao Pavilion, his back was motionless, as if he had fallen into contemplation.
Teng Yuyi's heart skipped a beat. The last time she remembered many details of her past life because of a big dream, the first thing she did when she woke up was to go back to her father's study to look for the letter from Nanzhao Kingdom.
As soon as my father returned to the house, he inspected the landscape screen above the Duobao Pavilion, and it was possible that he noticed the traces of prying.
Fortunately, Teng Shao didn't stay too long on the screen on the mountain, and quickly turned around: "Sit down, Grandpa has something to ask you."
Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down in front of the low couch.
Teng Shao lifted his robe and sat down at the opposite table: "Don't worry about the Duan Mansion. Grandpa returned to Chang'an, and the rest is left to Grandpa to deal with."
Teng Yuyi nodded, quit the kiss as she wished, and let out a sigh of anger. She was very satisfied now, and she was no longer interested in the Duan family and the rest.
Teng Shao hesitated for a moment, then said again: "Child, if you encounter unpleasant things in the future, please tell Grandpa yourself, Grandpa will help you make up your mind."
Teng Yuyi didn't say a word, her black eyes were as quiet as a secluded pool.
Teng Shao looked at the pair of eyes that were very similar to his deceased wife, and felt pain in his heart. He took a sip of tea calmly, and said like a small talk: "Recently, a hundred officials from other places have come to Beijing to report their work, and grandpa's old department named Li Changmao will also be transferred. Back in Beijing, his daughter's name is Li Huaigu, who used to play with you when she was a child, do you still remember her?"
Teng Yuyi's eyelids jumped, she didn't have much impression of this person at first, but the big dream a while ago reminded her of a lot of things. She remembered that when Li Huaigu and her servants set up a situation in Dayin Temple in her previous life, Lin Chengyou mistakenly thought it was true. After his savior was found out, Lin Chengyou ordered him to be renamed Li Huaisan.
Teng Shao only thought that his daughter had forgotten her childhood playmate, and said, "The Li family will also come to Chang'an in the future. If you have nothing to do, you can often invite her to play in the mansion. Grandpa heard that you went to participate in poetry yesterday. Yes, I am very happy, you first came to Chang'an, you should have more contacts with the little lady in the boudoir, when your mother was about the same age as you, she also liked to recite poetry."
Teng Yuyi originally had a calm expression, but when she heard this, her eyes finally became slightly turbulent, and she turned her face to the side, her eyes stubborn and cold.
Teng Shao looked at his daughter's childish profile, and his tongue was bitter: "Grandpa knows that Grandpa has many unfulfilled responsibilities over the years, and keeping the most capable Cheng An and Duanfu by your side is nothing more than It's because I'm afraid you will be wronged. You didn't do anything wrong about quitting your relatives, but you are still a child after all. If you have to use some tricks, it should be planned by grandpa. Your grandma loved you Ruobao, back then I teach you enlightenment in person, I hope you will have a good conscience in the future, not use your wits to—”
Teng Yuyi's eyes lit up with two small clusters of flames, and quickly wrote on the tray: My daughter is not feeling well, dare to ask Grandpa if he has finished his lesson? If the lesson is over, the daughter will go back to the hospital to rest.
Teng Shao's eyes were complicated, and it was the same every time. As long as he mentioned his deceased wife, his daughter's body was bound to have thorns like a hedgehog.
He said with a sullen face: "Grandpa is not blaming you. If it is Grandpa, Duan Ningyuan will never be better off. Grandpa is afraid that you will go astray and raise your good character."
Teng Yuyi snorted: I have a very upright character. I won't offend anyone if they don't offend me. Duan Ningyuan has humiliated me. Do you still expect me to swallow my hatred?
Teng Shao squinted his eyes. I don't know since when, the father and daughter couldn't sit together and have a good conversation, even if he wanted to ease the indifference between the father and daughter, and he wanted to say a few words of kindness to his daughter. In the end, due to Yu'er's resistance, the trouble will break up. He knows that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and he said: "Yes, it's not your fault, it's all Grandpa's fault, When you were just getting married, your mood should have been more relaxed, but I don’t know when you started to make up your own mind about everything. If grandpa took good care of you, why would you be like this? Lord, come to cover for you."
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a while, remembering the unwillingly closed eyes of his grandfather in the previous life, his nose was inexplicably sore, and the sharp scales that had been erected on his body slowly softened.
Teng Shao felt a little bit, and instead asked, "Cheng An said that you stayed in the brothel called Caifenglou all night that day. Why is that?"
Teng Yuyi put the Xiaoya sword on the table: for it.
Then she spent most of an hour writing to her father the reason and why.
Teng Shao has led the army for many years, and he has seen many strange things. He was still shocked when he heard what happened to his daughter. He picked up the Xiaoya sword and gently brushed the blade with his fingertips. According to the photo, there is not even a filamentous texture.
"The sword is a good sword, but its origin is unknown."
Teng Yuyi: The Taoist priest of Dongmingguan said about the origin of this sword. At that time, Venerable Qinglian couldn't find a magic weapon in his hand, so he temporarily made it with a jade wat. The last time he encountered an evil in a bamboo forest, it was thanks to this sword that he was able to save it. Cousin, last night in Chengwang's mansion, Zhexie seems to be quite afraid of this magic weapon, and it recognizes the master, and it has no spiritual power if it is used by others.
Teng Shao pondered silently, he had seen this kind of ancient artifact that recognized the master with his own eyes, the Scarlet Firmament Sword that Cheng Wang Linxiao was.
It is said that Emperor Taizu liked Lin Xiao the most among his grandchildren. He specially gave this sword to his grandson before his death. King Cheng carried it with him every day after he got Chixiao, and it was impossible for others to draw the sword.
Teng Shao tried to draw his daughter's little sword. The sword was drawn out, but perhaps it was an illusion. The warm light that surrounded the body of the sword just now dimmed a bit. He handed it back to his daughter, and when she was stroked by her, the little sword regained its light. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if someone told him about it, he would have thought it was Qi Dongyeyu. Why did he find his daughter, an unsolicited ancient artifact, whether it was good or bad.
"So that's why you met the corpse evil in Caifeng Tower that night? And because of this, you became acquainted with the Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple?"
Teng Yuyi nodded.
"Including Lin Chengyou?"
Teng Yuyi: Naturally, eliminating the corpse is his starting point.
Teng Shao looked at Teng Yuyi for a while, and took a few steps back and forth in front of the desk: "I'm afraid you only know that Lin Chengyou is the nephew of the sage, but you don't know that his mother, Princess Cheng, is the younger sister of the sage. In Qingyun Temple, the Taoist priest of Qingxu had gone through thousands of hardships to raise him. Princess Cheng was smart and kind-hearted. At that time, the prince of Lan Wang sacrificed his life to protect each other. So you should understand that for the saint, Qing Xuzi and Cheng Wang and his wife are his closest relatives.
"Later, the sage reached the top and has always had a good heart. Not only did he show filial piety to the Taoist priest Qingxu, but he also regarded the Chengwang couple as close relatives. In recent years, the Chengwang couple have traveled the world, and the sage personally taught Lin Chengyou and the prince, the children of the two families. Between them, they are called brothers and sisters.
Teng Yuyi held her cheeks and said nothing. Grandpa was always taciturn, so why did he suddenly talk to her about this today.
Teng Shao added: "Lin Chengyou is a son of the royal family, and he is already very precious. With this relationship, it is not surprising that his temperament is arrogant. Maybe it is too smooth, and God is jealous. This son grows up to the age of eight. Accidentally fell into a gu."
In the Gu? Teng Yuyi suddenly remembered that time outside Caifeng Building, Lin Chengyou disguised as a wandering old man with a white beard. She accidentally saw a pale golden mark on the back of his neck. At that time, she wondered what it was.
She curiously wrote: What Gu in him?
Teng Shao frowned deeply: "All officials don't know about this matter. If it wasn't for Lin Chengyou's attack once a year and slowly leaking the news, it would have been hidden until now. Gu-poisoned pills, and their minds are harmed by Gu insects, it is difficult to be emotionally attached to the little lady. I think it is because of this reason that I don’t know how many high-ranking officials of the noble family who have wanted to marry the Chengwang Mansion over the years, but Lin Chengyou has never been married. Daoist Xuzi has thought of many ways to do this, and this time he went out for a wander, and I heard that he was going to search for a cure for the poison."
Teng Yuyi nodded at first, but suddenly felt wrong, if this poison was so good, why did Princess Cheng show her portrait to her son in the previous life? She had long heard that the couple was upright and kind, and that her son's illness had not yet recovered, so she would not take the initiative to discuss marriage for her son.
The more she thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Maybe it was because of her life, why some things were different from the previous life in her memory.
After Teng Shao said this, he turned to look at his daughter and looked at him inquiringly. He stopped walking with his hands behind his back and said, "Why did Grandpa tell you this, because—"
He was dumbfounded, and he didn't know where to start. This should have been taught by an auntie, but Madam Hui died early.
Last night, he went to the palace for a banquet, and a minister named Su Xingwang from the Censor's desk accidentally confided in front of the imperial court because he was very drunk. Illness, no matter how the mother and father scolded, the daughter was not married to Lin Chengyou. The couple thought of many ways, but the daughter never forgot. Now that she is dying, she just asks the saint to help the red rope to tie her feet.
The sage comforted Su Xingwang with gentle words for a long time, and also assigned his Fengyu to the little lady to treat her illness.
Teng Shao watched at the time and remembered that he had met Lin Chengyou several times. This young man was handsome and laughing when he was young. When he was older, he was even more beautiful, which attracted the admiration of these little ladies in Chang'an City. However.
When he returned to the mansion today and heard that his daughter was interacting with Lin Chengyou, he was also shocked.
He thought about it and said, "It's not a bad thing for you to get to know more friends when you first came to Chang'an. The two little Daoists are innocent and loyal, and they will often interact with them in the future, but Grandpa has something to remind you, once the corpse evil is eliminated. , don't have anything to do with Lin Chengyou."
Teng Yuyi was stunned, grandpa went around in a big circle, worried about this, not to mention that he was involved with Lin Chengyou again, just hearing this person's name made his heart angry.
She snorted coldly, and Tichen wrote: "Grandpa is too worried, I can't avoid Lin Chengyou, and Lin Chengyou also despises me very much. After this, we will never meet again.
Teng Shao saw that his daughter was not only reluctant to mention Lin Chengyou, but even when he heard his name, he had a look of disgust. There is no need to guess the reason. It is estimated that his daughter and Lin Chengyou have a different temperament. That kind of sentimental thoughts were born at every turn, so he said, "It's good that you understand Grandpa's concerns."
Teng Yuyi took out the scroll and unfolded it in front of Teng Shao: Has Grandpa seen this person?
Teng Shao didn't answer at first, he looked at it for a moment and asked suspiciously, "I've never seen him before, who is this person?"
Teng Yuyi wrote: It's absurd to say, I once dreamed that this person murdered me, the dream was very vivid, and it happened several times in a row. I woke up and was afraid, so I painted this person's appearance.
Teng Shao's face was sinking like water, he raised his hand and took the scroll into his hand. With just such a portrait, he really couldn't tell the history.
Teng Yuyi drew again: Grandpa, has he ever seen such a hidden weapon?
Teng Shao's eyes moved on the painting inch by inch, and finally nodded slowly: "I have seen something similar, in the army in a different place, but it is about the thickness of the strings, and it is never as thin as the painting."
Teng Yuyi was greatly disappointed. Grandpa had seen almost all the weapons in the world, and even he had no clue. The clues should not be broken. She quickly wrote: This person is fierce and will harm me sooner or later. Please also find his whereabouts as soon as possible, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Teng Shao looked at his daughter's expression carefully: "It's just a dream, maybe there is no such person in the world, Yu'er, why are you so afraid?"
Teng Yuyi's heart was beating loudly, but she tried her best to pretend to be calm: Since I got this sword, I've had several successful dreams. A while ago, I dreamed that my cousin would suffer, and I also dreamed of a high school jinshi named Lu. , these are all fulfilled. Later, I dreamed that I was killed by this person, and I would inevitably feel frightened.
Teng Shao's eyes were deep and keen, as if he could read people's hearts. He stared at his daughter for a while, then nodded and stopped asking, "Okay, Grandpa will find out the details of this person soon."
Only then did Teng Yuyi feel relieved, and wrote again: This person is by no means a good person, he understands different arts, and he can kill a martial arts master with one shot. If grandpa encounters this person in the future, he must be careful.
Teng Shao was a little surprised that his daughter was so serious about a dream, and instead of worrying about herself, she seemed to be worried about his safety. However, before he could answer, the daughter took the tray back lightly and walked out.
Teng Shao remembered the year when his wife had just died, the party and Tubo invaded, and the military situation in Fengxiang was in emergency. , can only send her daughter to Du Fu.
A few months later, when the teacher returned to the court, he went to the Du residence to visit his daughter despite his dust and sand, but the daughter seemed to not know him and refused to meet.
He had no choice but to return to the central hall. He sat silently for a long time. When he looked up inadvertently, he saw a small figure flashing quickly, chasing after him. It turned out that his daughter was secretly hiding outside the door. There were tears, and when he found it, he turned his head and ran away, looking stubborn and arrogant.
He chased after him and held his daughter in his arms. The father and daughter were squatting under the afterglow of the setting sun. Over the years, the expression on her daughter's face has not changed. He looked at his daughter's back and said warmly, "Okay, Grandpa knows."
Teng Yuyi's feet were stagnant for a while, and then she quickly stepped out of the threshold.
In the afternoon, Teng Shao rejected all kinds of posts from outside the mansion. He personally selected dozens of strong guards, and asked them to guard the mansion. Sitting upright in the atrium.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi finished setting up the Nine Heavens Demon Array, almost exhausted their half-body skills, put talismans on every corner, and returned to Songtao Garden panting.
Entering the door, I saw Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sitting in front of a large clump of green bamboos and playing chess.
Bamboo shadows are thick, almost blocking most of the sun.
"Miss Teng, Madam Du."
Du Tinglan got up with a smile: "The two Taoist priests, His Highness the Prince and the Taoist priest of Dongmingguan are here?"
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi shook their heads.
"No news yet?"
Absolute Saint said: "No."
Qizhi turned his head to look at the sky: "It's getting late, it should be coming soon."
"Yes, yes, maybe on the way."
Du Tinglan couldn't hide the worry on her face, but Teng Yuyi pulled Juesheng and Qizhi closer, and ordered the maid to serve tea to Juesheng and Qizhi, and personally teach them to play chess.
The next round after round, seeing the sun slowly sinking to the west, during this period, the maids came to spread the word several times, but Lin Chengyou and others remained silent.
When Cheng Bo also came to inquire about the news, Teng Yuyi couldn't help but look around. The orange red glow of the sky was gradually replaced by a quiet and vast blue, and it would be dark after a while.
Juesheng and Qizhiyi became anxious, and they had no time to play chess and eat snacks. They sat cross-legged under the porch, holding the altar wood high, and muttering mantras.
Teng Yuyi also slowly put down his chess pieces, holding his breath, as if facing a great enemy.
This wait lasted for more than half an hour, from the darkening of the sky until the bright moon was in the sky, not to mention the evil corpse, not even a fly could fly in.
Teng Shao was still guarding in the middle hall, Cheng Bo led people around to light up the lights, and the whole mansion was in full array, with guards patrolling every corner. After a while, Teng Shao ordered the dinner to be delivered to the inner courtyard for the convenience of Teng Yu and the two Taoist priests.
Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly took a bite of food and returned to the corridor. The formation in front of them had already consumed a lot of energy. Now, in order to prevent the corpse from attacking, they didn't dare to slack off. It's good for a short time. Undoubtedly a devastation.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, Jue Sheng finally couldn't hold it any longer, and took the lead in taking a nap.
Qizhi's eyelids opened a slit, and he whispered, "Sacred, Sacred."
Jue Sheng woke up suddenly, trying to beat his spirits, but he couldn't stop it when he was sleepy, and it didn't take long before he started to stumble again.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were afraid of disturbing their defense, so they stayed in the house before, and when they heard the movement, they came out and saw that one was drowsy and the other was so sleepy that he rubbed his eyes.
Teng Yuyi hurriedly asked the maid to fetch water, and then wringed a wet towel for Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi to cleanse the face. The two cleaned up and finally dispelled the sleepiness.
Du Tinglan smiled and said, "The Taoist priest must be exhausted. He didn't sleep all night last night, and he couldn't stand it even as an adult."
The utterly embarrassed one ran to the front of the court and started punching. Teng Yuyi sat cross-legged under the porch, and wrote on the tray: Let's talk, do you think the corpse evil will come tonight?
Qizhi wanted to nod his head, looked up at the sky, but was unsure: "After the corpse is broken, it is urgent to increase its murderous power. If you focus on a certain target, you won't wait too long and will attack soon, but it is evil. Very, can not be judged by common sense. The "Yao Jing" says that the corpse evil is very particular before it starts."
Teng Yuyi: Pay attention? Will it eat human flesh?
Qizhi said in a low voice: "It likes to deceive people's hearts before making a move. In addition to its own cruel nature, it is also because it is convenient for it to grab the soul, and the prey that it likes will be deceived into heartbreak or howl before it dies. Crying, or guilt and remorse, being arrested and killed in such a situation, often the soul is fragmented, and even the qualifications for reincarnation are lost."
Teng Yuyi was shocked all over.
Du Tinglan shivered: "No wonder he was so frightening at Chengwang's mansion that night, it turned out to be to destroy Ayu's will first, such a vicious evil spirit.
