Capture the Jade - Chapter 89
The next day, Tengfu, Tan Shangyue.
Teng Yuyi got up early in the morning and remembered what happened yesterday, so she asked Biluo to go to the chef to arrange a new flower cake mold. When the dressing was finished, she asked Chunrong to prepare the peaches and wine. After all this was arranged, she sat on the couch in front of the window by herself. .
When all the maids in the room had retreated, she said to Xiaoyajian, “Come out.”
Xiaoya seemed to have smelled the aroma of the wine long ago. Hearing this, he hurriedly got out of the sword and raised his hand to move the wine cup.
“Hey, don’t worry.” Teng Yuyi slowly lifted the pot and poured the wine, “I’ll pour the wine for you, but before drinking, I have to tell you something serious.”
Xiaoya picked up a peach instead: “Let’s talk about it.”
“Did you see who was plotting against me at the women’s banquet last night?”
Xiao Ya buried his head in the fruit and said, “The old man didn’t see anything.”
“Did you not see it or can’t tell?” Teng Yuyi slanted him.
Xiaoya was silent while holding the peach.
After a while, Xu was afraid that Teng Yuyi would take the wine away in a fit of anger, and sighed with a bitter face: “Hey, let me tell you the truth. Don’t say that the old man fell asleep in the sword last night, he really caught a glimpse of the old man. You must not talk nonsense, think about it, those ‘good guys and evil guys’ are part of your doom. If you can help you explain it in advance, or teach you how to deal with it, this is called revealing secrets, and it can’t help you get through the disaster. It will also bring unexpected new disasters.”
It was the first time that Teng Yuyi heard this statement, and said strangely, “I can’t even remind you? You don’t have to say who that person is, just say whether that person is a man or a woman and why he hurt me.”
Xiao Ya shook his head like a rattle: “Of course not. Since the old man has recognized the master, he has to help the master to get through the trouble. The right thing, the old man can do; the wrong thing, the old man must not interfere randomly, otherwise not only will it not help, but Instead, it will harm the master.”
No wonder this little old man only helped her to block evil and evil, and he didn’t say much or remind her about other things. It turned out that there was such a layer of concerns, so the hidden villain around her could only find out by herself along the clues. ?
Teng Yuyi touched his chin: “You can’t tell the bad guys, you can always talk about taking your life. Last time I dealt with Naizhong, I didn’t get the merit of eliminating demons. I don’t know when I will be able to clear the grievances of taking my life. In addition to exorcising ghosts and demons, are there other ways to eliminate disasters?”
Xiao Ya looked inexplicable: “Didn’t this old man tell you last time?”
Teng Yuyi was even more inexplicable: “What did you say?”
Xiaoya took a sniff: “I heard it, since you came back from Dayin Temple that day, the evil spirit on your body has lightened a lot. It can be seen that you not only gained merit in dealing with Naizhong that night, but also not small. .”
Teng Yuyi was overjoyed at first, and then she wondered: “No, I couldn’t get close when I surrendered to the endurance, how can I get merit?”
“Have you forgotten the blood rakshasa that Haoyue Sanren turned into? If you hadn’t asked Duanfu to prepare the basin of foot-washing water and poured the suffocating energy on his body, how could he have prevented this blood rakshasa from merging with Naichong in time? When she offers sacrifices, the calamity will be immeasurable, so not only do you have merit in eliminating demons, but your credit is not small.”
This is really an unexpected joy. Teng Yuyi thought for a while with joy, and took the initiative to pour a drink for Xiaoya: “Then… if this goes on, do I just need to kill one or two more monsters?”
Xiao Ya slapped his mouth: “That’s right, but there must be a big evil being killed by you, right? Don’t forget, whether it’s the double evil or the heavy resistance, it’s the Haoyue Sanren gang who deliberately joined the battle. It is brought out from the book, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although these monsters almost killed you, the merit they brought should not be underestimated. Haoyue Sanren died, but no one will disturb the world secretly. In the future, we will It may only be possible to find some small evils outside to get rid of, but such small evils are not worth a big evil.”
Teng Yuyi frowned: “So it will take me a while to accumulate merit?”
Xiaoya hiccups: “I can’t say for sure, don’t worry, maybe something will happen, just wait.”
Suddenly, the maid in the corridor said, “Miss, the aunt of the Du family is here.”
Teng Yuyi hurriedly stood up to greet her: “Sister.”
Du Tinglan had just entered the door on the front foot, and Cheng Bo also came on the back foot.
Teng Yuyi took Du Tinglan’s arm, raised her voice and said to the outside, “Let Uncle Cheng wait for me outside.”
Before Du Tinglan could take off the cloak on her body, she followed Teng Yuyi to the outside in surprise.
Cheng Boyi expected that Teng Yuyi would not avoid his cousin, and as soon as he came in, he said straight to the point: “In the morning, the old slave has already arranged it, and recently, there are three groups of secretly stalking, one group follows Li Sanniang, one group follows Wu family Erniang, and one group follows Liu Siniang. , If there is something wrong with the other party, come back and report to the lady immediately, but this gang can only follow for a while, and when these little ladies enter the academy, they may not be able to follow them.”
Du Tinglan was shocked, how could her sister suddenly arrange someone to deal with these three little ladies.
Teng Yuyi took a few steps with her hands behind her back: “That’s enough. If this person can plot against me at the table, he must have been plotting secretly for a long time. I don’t think she will show her clues soon. You might as well follow first, if you go to the academy There are no flaws in the beginning of the school, and you can think of other ways. Be careful, don’t let the other party notice.”
When the two returned to the back room, Du Tinglan pulled her sister and sat down on the couch in surprise: “What happened?”
Teng Yuyi took out the frayed silk sash and carefully explained what happened last night.
Du Tinglan was shocked and angry: “What a way to pickle up! Are you sure it’s these three people? Wu Erniang and Liu Siniang haven’t dealt with their younger sisters a few times. Li Sanniang and our sisters are also playmates when they were young…”
The more she said, the more shocked she became: “If it’s really one of them, it’s really, really knows people and faces but not hearts.”
Teng Yuyi said, “These three people were sitting on my left at the time, and there were many things that happened last night that were too coincidental. I always felt that the person didn’t make up his mind temporarily, but made a plan for a long time. Once you make a plot, there will be consequences. Once, I have to find a way to catch this person before he makes another move.”
Du Tinglan lowered his head for a moment, and suddenly showed a horrified expression: “These three people are all on the student list of the academy. If we can’t find out the details of this person before the start of the semester, will we have to deal with this person all day after entering school.”
Teng Yuyi didn’t answer when she heard the words, but suddenly remembered the time she was swinging in the peach forest of Yuzhen Nuguan. Extremely cold, clearly full of hatred for her.
If this person is the same as the one who laid out last night, then this person’s hostility to her will not only last for a day or two.
She suddenly had a thought, could the death of her previous life have something to do with this person? No, these three are ladies from aristocratic families, how could they be related to the black cloak people raised by Haoyue’s scattered people?
Or… Her eyes trembled, and the man in black cloak who harmed her in her previous life was a woman? !
I remember Grandpa said that this kind of black cloak is very good at covering the face, because it is extremely wide, as long as you wear high boots inside, you can increase your height, and padding your shoulders can make your body look burly… So when the man started, They are so afraid that their masters and servants will recognize them.
Is it an acquaintance?
Well, the clues seem to be getting clearer. Previously, she had always refused to study at Xiangxiang Academy, but at this moment she was suddenly shaken.
Perhaps, studying at Xiangxiang Academy is an opportunity to find the truth. No matter why this person wanted to harm her, when she entered the Xiangxiang Academy to study, she would definitely take action frequently.
It’s easy to say that she is willing to do it, she is worried that the other party has no flaws.
Du Tinglan looked at her sister in a daze, and couldn’t help pushing her sister’s arm, Teng Yuyi smiled slightly, raised her eyes and said to Du Tinglan, “Sister, didn’t I say yesterday that I don’t want to go to Xiangxiang Academy, and now I’m suddenly looking forward to studying in the academy. “
***
Qingyun View.
Song Jian’s corpse was placed in front of the hall, covered with a black square cloth.
There is a case in front of the corpse, on which the eight characters of Jiang Zhenniang’s birth date are enshrined.
As soon as the wind blows, the flags move, but the smoke in the incense burner does not move at all, and three wisps of blue smoke go straight to the sky.
Juesheng and Qizhi sprinkled powder in the courtyard, ran back to the well and said to Lin Chengyou, “Brother, it’s done.”
Lin Chengyou said in a low voice, “Remember to protect the formation.”
“Yes.”
Lin Chengyou used cinnabar to draw “the door of the mysterious female” in front of the well, shook out the silver chain from his sleeve, and cast a spell to turn it into a long sword.
At the same time, a very thin red thread flew out of the scripture hall. Juesheng and Qizhi stepped forward to grab the red thread and tied it around the well.
They knew that this time, like the last time he helped Mrs. Anguo to conjure the soul, it was still the saint who helped the auxiliary formation.
Originally, the master wanted to summon the spirits in the main formation, but piecing together the remnants would damage his own cultivation. His old man was already old, and both the saint and the senior brothers were determined not to allow Qing Xuzi to intervene in this matter. In the end, the saint came out of the palace to help. Guard.
However, the master was not idle. The elder brother and the sage formed a formation outside and inside, and the old man guarded the scripture hall.
After all preparations were made, Lin Chengyou waved a talisman and hit the door of Xuanhen on the ground. The talisman fire ignited the door frame. He leaped to the well and stood there, waving his sword straight at the wall, and shouted: “Jiang Zhenniang, don’t come back yet. Is it?”
Before he finished speaking, the dome above the courtyard suddenly darkened, and the gloomy wind came from all directions.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. As soon as the door of the mysterious female was opened, the Li Gui Plenum would continue to gather here. In order to find out Jiang Zhenniang who was among them in time, they could not slack off for a moment.
This summoning of souls has been recruiting from early morning to afternoon. The chasing fans in the yard are covered with the footprints of all kinds of ghosts, but Jiang Zhenniang’s soul has not appeared.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were exhausted and out of breath in order to drive away those ghosts who came unannounced.
At the end of the stalemate, Lin Chengyou was sweating profusely. Because Qing Xuzi couldn’t get involved for the time being, he could only pace anxiously in the scripture hall.
In the end, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were a little discouraged. Jiang Zhenniang was killed four years ago, and maybe they couldn’t put it together long ago. Even if they tried hard, I am afraid it would be in vain. Persevering in the main formation, these big formations consume the most energy, but the senior brother does not mean to be discouraged at all.
Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi silently looked at their senior brothers. No matter what happened to senior brothers, they never seemed to back down. Thinking of this, they were busy and refreshed, and continued to help identify the ghosts.
After another hour passed, Lin Chengyou’s sweat had soaked his clothes, but he still insisted. Since he promised Song Jian, he had no intention of giving up halfway. Besides, once the big formation started, it couldn’t be stopped.
Suddenly, the door was opened, and a lot of messy footprints fell on Zhichai fans, and it seemed that a large number of wandering spirits had been attracted.
Lin Chengyou still didn’t hear the bell ringing on the red line. He didn’t expect to report, but he heard the master say in the scripture hall, “Come!”
Lin Chengyou was secretly surprised, the bell and the talisman paper on the case didn’t ring, how did the master know that Jiang Zhenniang’s soul was coming, his heart moved, could it be—
With difficulty, he turned his head to look at Song Jian’s corpse beside him, and knew the answer at a glance.
A line of tears suddenly flowed from Song Jian’s open eyes.
He turned around in amazement, and saw a ghostly figure swaying towards Song Jian’s corpse.
Song Jian’s face was very quiet, and the tears flowed down his cheeks and down, until they dripped onto the collar and disappeared into the fabric.
Lin Chengyou was a little moved.
As soon as the ghost figure approached, the bell on the red line began to vibrate, and at the same time, the paper figure with Jiang Zhenniang’s birthday written on the slip also stood up.
The wandering soul drifted to Song Jian’s corpse, and suddenly let out a low sobbing sound. Then, a sigh was heard in the darkness, and another ghost floated down from the spiritual bed. In his arms, the two wandering spirits cuddled with each other, as if fused into one.
***
The saint has been escorted back to the palace by the imperial guards, and Juesheng and Jizhi are still crying.
They didn’t know why they were crying, they just felt sad when they thought about the scene just now.
Lin Chengyou didn’t seem to hear the cry of his junior brother, so he put away the formation, leaned on the lantern of the veranda beside himself, carelessly fiddled with the jade flute, and his face was thoughtful.
Qing Xuzi packed up and came out, and raised his voice to ask the two disciples and grandchildren: “Have you cried enough?”
Juesheng and Qizhi ran to the teacher and said, “…the disciples…the disciples think that Song Shizi and Jiang Zhenniang are too bitter, the teacher…they have done nothing wrong…such a loving couple …why can’t you grow old.”
Out of breath crying.
Qing Xuzi looked at the tearful eyes of the two young disciples, Sun Qingliang, and sighed in disappointment: “Don’t you understand? This is called good luck. The fate of the two has been broken in this life, at least they can find a next life.”
As he said that, he glanced at Lin Chengyou, who was stunned over there, and pointed out: “Look, even if it is four years apart, even if Jiang Zhenniang is only left with a wreckage, Song Jian can recognize his wife at a glance from a pile of wandering souls. Without such an obsession, you may not even get it in the next life, and because love is stronger than gold, all difficulties and dangers are not a problem.”
Lin Chengyou seemed to be touched, his eyes twitched slightly, and then he raised his head, the master had already arrived.
Qing Xuzi remembered the matter of Heartless Gu, and sighed secretly in his heart, stinky boy, this time, it’s time to understand what the word “love” is, is it bitter or not? Are you scared?
When he raised his hand, he shuddered: “You can be depressed by yourself.”
depressed? Lin Chengyou tilted his head back, thinking about how to make Teng Yuyi fall in love with him.
He smiled and said: “Master Shi is merciful, it hurts.”
Daoist Qing Xuzi was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: “It seems that I haven’t suffered enough.”
Lin Chengyou thought to himself, yesterday’s birthday was bitter enough for him, not only bitter, but also astringent, like taking a big mouthful of berberine, even the root of the tongue was bitter.
But after a hard night, he cheered up again in the morning. It was because Teng Yuyi hadn’t been tempted by him yet. Thinking about it now, it’s not like the sky has fallen. You must know that this time he met the best little lady in the world. , giving up on this is something you don’t even think about.
It’s just that this is a brand new problem for him. He has never been able to please the little lady before. After thinking about it, among the elders around him, it seems that only the imperial aunt understands the mind of the little lady best, so he just took a break. , he was thinking in his mind how to ask the Pope’s aunt.
Seeing that the master was ready to come out, he got up and said, “Are you ready? Let’s enter the palace.”
Qing Xuzi tightened his face: “Since you’re not depressed anymore, don’t play the flute at night, Master Shi was almost killed by you last night, let’s go, don’t make your uncle and the others wait for a long time, Master Master is just right. I have something to discuss with your uncle.”
