Capture the Jade

Chapter 124: (1)

Qingyunguan is brightly lit.

In the scripture hall, Yu Fengyuzheng and the Taoist priest Qingxuzi worked together to rescue Yan Sizhi.

Ye Leo had already pointed to Yin Shichu, but no one rested in the view, everyone was waiting anxiously outside the scripture hall, and the King Cheng and the Princess were also there.

Cheng Wang has always been Min Rui. After learning that Yan Sizhi was killed because of the investigation, he immediately dispatched a large number of escorts to **** Yan Sizhi's wife to Qingyun Temple.

At this moment, Mrs. Yan was safe and sound in the corridor waiting for news.

Teng Yuyi and Juesheng Qizhi were sitting on the steps of the corridor on the other side.

Everyone was silent, even Wudao was quieter than usual, and everyone held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, even though they knew that hope was slim.

When it was nearly dawn, the door of the wing finally made a "squeak" sound, and Yu Fengyu and Daoist Qing Xuzi came out one after the other.

Teng Yuyi ran down the steps in three steps, and Jue Sheng Qi Zhi also jumped up.

Mrs. Yan staggered forward and asked tremblingly, "Daoist, Fengyu, Wanchun he—"

Yu Fengyu was exhausted, and Qing Xuzi was also extremely depressed. Facing Mrs. Yan's tearful eyes, Yu Fengyu sighed hesitantly: "Excuse Yu for lack of skills."

Teng Yuyi's heart seemed to be stabbed hard. Mrs. Yan's face was as white as paper in an instant, "No...Impossible." Her body swayed like a light fluff, she pushed everyone away in confusion to enter the room to see her husband, and fainted as soon as she took a step.

Concubine Cheng was startled and hurriedly supported Mrs. Yan with Teng Yuyi: "Mrs. Yan."

Concubine Cheng Jiao Sheng said to Jue Sheng Qi Zhi, "Go and clean up a wing room to place Mrs. Yan."

"Yes." Jue Sheng Qizhi wiped away his tears and ran away quickly.

King Cheng and Daoist Qing Xuzi stayed behind to place Yan Sizhi's corpse, while Yu Fengyu was dragged by Juesheng Qizhi to give Mrs. Yan a pulse.

Wu Dao sighed endlessly, and volunteered to help Qing Xuzi set up an altar.

The wing room was quickly tidied up. Princess Cheng sat on the couch to help Madam Yan tuck the quilt. Looking back anxiously, she saw Teng Yuyi busy in the room.

Close the windows, boil the water, wipe the washcloth, help with the wipes, and do everything yourself.

Princess Cheng's heart softened into a ball, and A Yu spent the whole night busy with Yan Sizhi and his wife.

This kid is very affectionate at heart.

She waved at Teng Yuyi: "Ayu, come here and help put down the curtain."

Teng Yuyi hurriedly responded, got up and handed the twisted towel to Princess Cheng.

The regrets they couldn't express in their hearts, Yan Sizhi must be most worried about his wife. After Yan Sizhi's death, the two of them spontaneously made taking care of Mrs. Yan as their top priority.

Just at this moment, the voices of muttering mantras came from outside the window. The voices were thick and desolate, like pine waves, like waves, and they spread to every corner of the view without haste or slow.

Teng Yuyi was stunned at first, and then realized that it was Qing Xuzi and Wudao who were going to work together to protect the spirits for Yan Si.

Listening to the sound, this was the most prosperous spirit-guarding formation she had ever seen. The mournful and solemn sound represented the infinite regret and respect of Qing Xuzi and others.

Mrs. Yan was also awakened by the sound of mantra chanting, she turned her head in panic, and pushed aside the quilt and was about to get out of bed: "Wan Chun."

Although she was extremely sad, Mrs. Yan still seemed to be restrained and respectful, but before she could get off the ground, she seemed to be overwhelmed by the huge pain, sobbed and let out a heart-piercing cry. Fortunately, Princess Cheng and Teng Yuyi stopped in time. With one hand, Mrs. Yan didn't fall down under the bed. Mrs. Yan's cries were piercing, and Teng Yuyi and Princess Cheng's eyes instantly became astringent: "Mrs. Yan."

Madam Yan cried in despair and curled up into a ball: "Wan Chun—"

Everyone's eyes were red, and they hurriedly invited Yu Fengyu into the room. Yu Fengyu did not say a word for Mrs. Yan's pulse.

Concubine Cheng asked worriedly, "Fengyu, how is it?"

"Mrs. Yan is pregnant. In the first pregnancy, there was a lack of qi and blood, and it was only because of the severe trauma. Fortunately, the fetal image is still stable, and it will be good to rest. Princess, please ask Yu to be strict immediately. Madam devise a recipe to soothe the nerves and protect the fetus?"

Everyone in the room was stunned, Teng Yuyi looked at the bed, Mrs. Yan's face was covered with messy tears, and she didn't know if she heard Yu Fengyu's words.

Princess Cheng just thought that Mrs. Yan was heartbroken and fainted again, and sighed softly: "This kind of thing has to respect Mrs. Yan's own wishes. It is not easy for her to raise her children alone. When she wakes up, everything will let her go. She makes up her own mind."

Mrs. Yan's expression was originally blank, but her eyes filled with tears again when she heard the words: "This is the flesh and blood that Wan Chun left me, no matter how difficult it is, I will raise this child well, if I give birth to a daughter , I will teach her to be a good person upright, if it is Lang Jun, I will be a good official with integrity like his grandfather..."

Everyone's nose was sore, and Mrs. Yan struggled to lift the quilt out of bed, begging Teng Yuyi and Princess Cheng to help her to the scripture hall.

Yan Sizhi was still wearing the attire before his death, lying quietly in the middle of the spiritual altar. Juesheng and Qizhi were worried that Mrs. Yan would accidentally destroy the spiritual altar, so they hurried over to greet him. Tears poured down from Mrs. Yan, and they approached the spiritual bed step by step. She looked at her husband's face carefully, and when she lowered her head, tears fell on her husband's forehead. It was a cold, lifeless face. Madam Yan's heart was cut by a knife. : "Get up and look at me, I have something to tell you. When you left yesterday, you said you wanted to eat the millet that I made. I'm ready and waiting for you to come back. How can you not believe what you say..."

His wife's raging tears instantly stained Yan Sizhi's green official robe.

The people in the hospital also got wet eyes.

***

In the evening, this solemn ceremony was finally coming to an end. When everyone discussed Yan Sizhi's funeral, Cheng Wang said: "Yan Sizhi is both a colleague of You'er and a senior You'er always respects. He should take good care of his family—"

At this time, someone suddenly came from outside, saying that the sage urgently summoned the king to enter the palace.

It was not a palace servant who came to pass on the will, but a general of Qianniuwei.

Teng Yuyi was suddenly uneasy. Qianniuwei has always only protected saints personally, and if Qianniuwei can work to deliver letters in person, it is because there will be changes in Beijing.

This is simply incredible.

Although Grandpa and Lin Chengyou have not yet returned to the imperial court, Peng Zhen's defeat is a foregone conclusion. Since the imperial court seized opportunities everywhere, the battle was won after only a few months. Now there are either the remaining Shence Army around Gyeonggi, or the Shuo Fangjun, who has always been loyal to the royal family, has launched a palace change at this time, how can he guarantee that it will happen?

By the way, even Cheng Bo often told her that there might be changes in Beijing. Cheng Bo was Grandpa's ear and ears in Chang'an. He had always been better informed than others. If he was worried, he must have heard some rumors.

Judging from those cases, the master family behind Haoyue Sanren has a lot of power in Beijing, but Cheng Bo said in the end, that person is unlikely to succeed... Unless that person can clean up the royal family in one fell swoop, And in one fell swoop control the Beiya Imperial Army.

But isn't this fantastic?

Not to mention the sage and the king who are young and strong, even the prince can already be on his own.

The second prince had been trained in the Shuofang army, but as long as he heard that there was a change in Beijing, it would only take half a month to return to Beijing.

Lin Chengyou was also on his way back to the DPRK.

How to make sure it works in this situation.

But judging from that person's city government, how could he allow himself to fall short...

Teng Yuyi was silent. If she wanted to rebel, what would she do?

Suddenly I remembered that there was a vigorous palace change in the palace nearly a hundred years ago. The puppet prince secretly raised a large number of counsellors and warriors. One night, the prince suddenly sent troops to control the imperial army, the palace garden and the ministers of Nanya. regained power from the powerful mother queen (note).

When the courtiers were shocked, everything was a foregone conclusion.

Could it be that the person also has this plan?

There are many loyal ministers and good generals in the court, but when the sharp blade is placed on the neck, most people are afraid to say a word.

Once Beijing and Nanya are in that person's hands, it means that the entire Chang'an City is firmly in control.

Controlling the three provinces and the forbidden army, that person can force several prime ministers to set up a manifesto overnight. The sage is already stubbornly ill, and this person only needs to declare that the sage is dead, and detain the charge of murdering the sage to Wang Lin. On the head of the effect, it is logical to take over the Dragon Seal.

The Shuofang Army and the Shence Army were the army directly under the central government. They had always only been assigned by the saints. Once the imperial decree was sent, the two armies would no longer be under the command of Lin Chengyou and the second prince.

Next, whether it is to send someone to assassinate the second prince and Lin Chengyou on the way, or set a trap in Chang'an to invite you to enter the urn, the second prince and Lin Chengyou are unable to fly.

Either house arrest or hanging, the outcome is doomed. By the way, Lin Chengyou and the second prince are also charged with the crime of "chaos and thieves", and that person can also get a good reputation for suppressing and treason.

Even if the second prince and Lin Chengyou were lucky enough to survive, and they didn't have a single soldier or soldier, how could they seize power.

In other words, to make things happen, just one word: kill.

As long as it is ruthless, the throne will be at your fingertips.

People's ambitions and desires are endless, and the throne is so tempting. After so many years of dealing with the sorcerers of Haoyue San and Wujimen, this behind-the-scenes master has probably long since been crooked.

You remember that time in Caifeng Tower, Lin Chengyou performed a sorcery in order to summon the souls of Tian and his wife. Only once, he was suspected of being bewitched by his mind. Fortunately, Wudao and Juesheng Qizhi were there to stop him desperately. Not to indulge again and again.

Lin Chengyou's willpower is already beyond ordinary people's, even he is like this... It can be seen how this sorcery known as "Soul Sutra" can destroy people's hearts.

But the premise of all this is that the person can successfully plot the saint and become the king.

Thinking of this, Teng Yuyi's heart suddenly calmed down.

This is absolutely impossible.

Wait, isn't the residual poison in the saint's body about to break out?

The last time Grandpa told her that the saint and the king each had a female host's spirit lock card in their bodies, and when the saint had an attack, only the king could help guard the formation. If someone broke into the formation, they could successfully plot against the saint and the king. Therefore, although rumors of this matter leaked, few people knew when the saint attacked, and no one knew exactly where the formation was guarded.

If there was a mistake when King Cheng was guarding the saint's formation... For some people who wanted to do something secretly, it would undoubtedly be a solution to kill two birds with one stone.

Teng Yu's back felt shivering at the thought, but when she turned her attention to the Cheng Wang couple and Qing Xuzi, the worries in her heart disappeared again.

Several elders are so calm and calm, presumably it is still far from the time of the saint's attack. Lin Chengyou has been investigating the case for so long, and before leaving Beijing, he will definitely let his uncle and mother-in-law take more precautions.

The note left by Yan Sizhi has been carefully put away by Cheng Wang. Seeing the appearance of Wang and his wife, it seems that he has long been suspicious. Thinking about the previous life, Lin Chengyou pretended to be poisoned with arrows in Kunfang Mansion in order to attract that person to take action.

The Cheng Wang couple and the sage knew and thought only more than her.

Over there, King Cheng and the princess seemed to have long expected that the saint would come to find them, went into the upper room to discuss with Qing Xuzi, and came out soon after.

Cheng Wang's face was as deep as water, and he took the Qianniuwei general away, but the princess spontaneously stayed in the view, but there was a vague look of worry between her brows.

When the guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion escorted Yan Sizhi's corpse and Mrs. Yan out of the observation, the atmosphere in the observation was a lot quiet, and everyone's hearts were still heavy. Qing Xuzi recruited Teng Yuyi and others into the courtyard.

After sitting down, Qing Xuzi pointed to Teng Yuyi, and said to Wudao and Juesheng Abandoning Wisdom: "You and I have seen it, Teng Niangzi's Yintang is black."

Teng Yuyi was surprised.

"This matter is very strange. Although Mrs. Teng is under the wrong spell, she has been subduing demons and exorcising demons for half a year. Even if she can't completely resolve the curse, the time for the calamity cannot be brought forward. After thinking about it, It is very likely that it has something to do with the resentment itself. Madam Teng's grievances are still unresolved, and any act of praying for her own blessings or eliminating disasters will attract backlash."

"Backlash?"

Qing Xuzi met and said, "What you and You'er killed was not an ordinary evil, but a big monster that could stir up the universe. The merit you have saved from this should not be underestimated, and you may even break the curse in one fell swoop, but this time The hooking spell is unusual, and there is not only one person who casts the spell. When they realize that the curse is about to be eliminated, how can they not send out the resentment that soars to the sky. This resentment surging between the heaven and the earth will lead to grievances from the side. Yu Chenzhou, condensing in one place is enough to change the number of days, so recently there have been frequent visions in Chang'an City: Chikuo is not mentioned in the world, and there are frequent seven desires. These two things are different from the previous demons, ghosts and ghosts. They have no soul or soul. It's a combination of great evils. Judging from these kinds of visions, it is because you have accumulated a lot of merit that the calamity you hit has been brought forward. easy."

Teng Yuyi thought nervously, no wonder Chi Kuo came straight to her that night, it turned out not only because she was a person who borrowed life, but she herself was the origin of this evil spirit between heaven and earth.

She was horrified and frightened. According to this, Grandpa would be in danger as well.

At this time, Princess Cheng also came over. She changed into a neat outfit, the hairpin on her head was removed, and she wore a soul-devouring bell on her fair neck, as if she was ready to catch a demon at any time.

Seeing Teng Yuyi's unease, Princess Cheng sat down and patted the back of Teng Yuyi's hand: "Master is right, but don't be afraid, A-Yu, child, the so-called "Worthy of Peace", although the catastrophe has come early, it just proves that you have reached the point of breaking the curse. The most important part, as long as you can successfully overcome this difficulty, you may completely unravel the grudge between you and General Teng."

Princess Cheng's words always had a warm power, and they often reminded Teng Yuyi of her aunt. She felt warm in her heart. Just as she was about to take over the conversation, the mysterious sound on her wrist suddenly sounded. It was already completely dark, and Jue Sage Abandoned Wisdom climbed up the wall and saw that countless wandering spirits were swimming outside.

Qing Xuzi looked outside the wall and clearly said to Teng Yu: "You are the one who brought disaster, and because of your recent actions to eliminate disasters, the world has condensed the evil spirits, you alone are enough to attract all the evil spirits from all directions. ."

He thought for a while and then said: "The first batch of wandering spirits appeared three days ago. Pindao thought that someone had secretly destroyed the evil net outside the city wall, but after Qin Yao and Lin Xiao searched carefully, no leaks were found. The place... If there is no loophole, where do these evil spirits come from? Lin Xiao reminded me last night that the loophole is likely to be hidden in the city. But if there is an exit from the underworld in the city, there will be no hindrance when the ghosts pour out."

Seeing Tianmeng clapped his hands and said, "So it is! Maybe this loophole has already appeared, but it was quietly sealed by the remnants of Wujimen. No wonder we dig three feet outside the city and can't find the shadow of the ruler. , for a long time, they are all nesting in the ground."

Teng Yuyi shuddered. The last time Lin Chengyou told her that the chikuo didn't appear, it would be a nest as soon as it appeared. Recalling the monster's strange old face, just a chikuo grinning at her was enough to make one's whole body shiver. Well, if a group of skeletons drilled out from the ground at the same time...

Concubine Cheng said: "My lord and I planned to lead people to search the whole city overnight. Unexpectedly, something happened to Yan Sizhi. The lord's men continued to search the city for a whole night, but found nothing, but this is not surprising. Hands and feet, unless someone with a very high level of Taoism is difficult to identify. Seven days later, it will be cloudy again, and we must find the exit of the underworld before that."

"Not only that." Qing Xuzi said, "We have to dispel the curses and grievances on Mrs. Teng as soon as possible. If the curses are not eliminated, these lonely ghosts will not leave. Attract the real **** demons to slaughter the city."

Teng Yuyi looked at Princess Cheng, and the princess frowned deeply. Obviously, their master and apprentice had other worries.

Could it be that you are afraid... it will affect the saint? But judging from the expressions of the two elders, it seems that they are not very sure.

Wudao Tailielie explained to Teng Yuyi, "These grievances haven't done any bad things, and I can't force them to disperse. If I do things for them, they will have their own grievances and can't be unified. If they do it one by one, So many grievances say that it will take a year and a half to complete, we don’t want to damage the cultivation base, and we don’t want them to continue to linger in the city, now the best way is to directly help you turn the spell.”

So far, Teng Yuyi has fully understood that as a robber who attracts evil spirits, she must always stay nearby before blocking the exit of the Yin and Nether Realm.

If this is not the case, the evil spirits will continue to flow out in the direction of the evil spirit. Wherever she is, they will flock to wherever she is. Not to mention hurting the people along the way, the grievances and evil spirits in the city will meet too much, and sooner or later it will lead to a battle. disaster.

No wonder Master Jing Chen said that there will be a catastrophe in Chang'an soon. Presumably, their Wujimen have some exclusive methods to spy on the evil spirits between heaven and earth, and they have long suspected that there are people who are destined to bring the evil spirits in the city.

"Master, can't you use a compass to find the gate of the underworld in the city?" Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi Jiao asked.

Qing Xuzi waved his hand: "This hole is not only invisible and colorless, but also infinitely variable. When I was young, it was only the size of a needle nose. Even if I tried my best to find it all over the city, it would take at least four or five days."

"How about calling on fellow Taoists to help?"

Concubine Cheng shook her head: "...Wujimen has been working in secret for many years, and there are a few ulterior motives mixed in the various Taoist temples in Chang'an. The Jingchen of Yuzhen Nuguanguan is a living example. Take the opportunity to confuse the line of sight."

"Fangcai Qinyao gave me an idea." Qingxuzi said, "It's not surprising that Mrs. Teng is trapped in this reincarnation, but the strange thing is that Li Sanniang will be reincarnated even without the curse. The last time Pindao thought it was strange, so he and Youer repeatedly questioned Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang couldn't stand it, so she had to admit that she stole something from you, and it was not an ordinary thing, but the lantern that your mother prayed for you, the lotus flower on the lantern. It's made of gold wire and jade, and it was supposed to be sent to Baolian Temple to pray for you..."

Teng Yuyi was startled, and then cursed in his heart.

"Li Sanniang happened to come out of your Teng Mansion that day, and because she was jealous of the ingeniousness of those lanterns, she stole one of the lanterns while the servants in your house were not paying attention. She had long heard that Baolian Temple was very effective in praying for blessings, and she envied you, Aniang Ken. Spending so much money to ask the monks to pray for you, she also wanted to get some luck, so she secretly changed the character of your birth date to her own. After playing for an afternoon, she lied that she found it at the gate of Teng Mansion , sent the lantern to the Baolian Temple, but people who are suffering from curses and grievances cannot pray for blessings casually. From the moment the lamp is lit, it will cause endless resentment. Li Sanniang's blessing lamp follows a little bit, and after half a year, it has already been riddled with grievances. So soon after you died in the previous life, she also suffered from the epidemic and disappeared, but after all, the grievance was not against her, so she had an opportunity to be reborn. Unfortunately, Pindao and Youer didn't ask her where she woke up from. It stands to reason that since Li Sanniang is a little devil who is affected by this grievance, the place of rebirth should be near the exit of the Yin and Nether Realm—"

Princess Cheng pondered and said: "I heard that Li Sanniang is only one year older than Ayu, and her doll started to forge ten years ago. I guess her rebirth year should be before the age of six. She may not remember clearly in Chang'an at the moment—"

So there is no way. Wudao sighed in disappointment, and Jue Sheng gave up wisdom a little anxiously: "There are more and more injustices outside the wall, and it is estimated that Chikuo will find them soon. If Qingyun Temple is surrounded by countless evil spirits, we will not It's time to go out and find it."

Princess Cheng stood up decisively: "Well, I'll take someone to look for it overnight. It's better to search every square and every corner than to stay here."

Teng Yuyi suddenly said: "Maybe someone can help us think about it. A classmate of my academy, Deng Shizhong's granddaughter. Mrs. Deng said more than once that she saw Li Huaigu when she was young, but Li Huaigu only came to Chang'an in his early years. Twice, something unusual must have happened in the first place—"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Princess Cheng was pleasantly surprised and ordered a guard: "It's not too late. It's still early, take my post to invite Mrs. Deng."

Because Princess Cheng personally posted the invitation, it didn't take long for the Deng family to **** Deng Weili.

After listening to Teng Yuyi's description, Deng Weili was stunned for a while.

She just thought that Teng Yuyi was still angry and Li Sanniang was cheeky and pretended to be her own business. She wanted to make fun of Teng Yuyi, but suddenly she remembered that it was Princess Cheng who asked her for a post, and she quickly replied honestly: "If you go back to Princess, the younger generation will see you when they are young. I went to Li Huaigu once. It was the eighth year of Longyuan. The younger generation and the elders in the family had a banquet in the Lin'an Hou's Mansion. There was a well in the backyard of the Hou's Mansion. Li Huaigu accidentally fell into the well while playing. Fortunately, there was a wooden barrel in the well. I grabbed her, her aunt was by the well and everyone was terrified. But I still remember that the first thing Li Huaigu did after being rescued was not to cry, but to ask her aunt: It is Longyuan now How many years? My sisters and I thought she looked weird. Li Sanniang heard that it was the eighth year of Longyuan, and she ran into the garden regardless of her clothes and clothes. Go up, but Li Sanniang quickly returned in frustration, and was beaten by her grandmother."

Speaking of this, Deng Weili said to Teng Yuyi: "Everyone said that I have a good memory, but in fact, I don't remember everything. The reason why I have a deep impression on this matter is because Li Sanniang's performance at that time was too unusual. When Li Huaigu lied to Prince Cheng that he was a savior, I was still a little puzzled, because I remember that she did not hold a puppet in her arms that day, but the puppet in Li Huaigu's room had indeed been used a lot. It's been years, I just thought it was my memory, and it didn't take long to hear that she was a false identity-"

***

Everyone hurried to the Marquis of Lin'an. After one night, there were a lot of grievances on the road. As Qing Xuzi said, it was no longer just a lonely soul without a master, but a large number of ghosts, ghosts and other evil spirits. ghost.

These evil ghosts roared, and they could swallow a dozen wandering spirits in one mouthful. Wu Dao slapped the long sword in his hand and pointed at the evil ghost. The sword light was as bright as a rainbow, almost a sword.

Teng Yuyi paid careful attention, Wudao's sword light really avoided encountering those wandering ghosts.

The same is true when Cheng Wangfei and Jue Sheng abandon wisdom cast spells.

In addition, Jin Wuwei can be seen from time to time on the street. Judging from the number, it is far more than the number of people who patrolled at night. It seems that for the defense of Chang'an to change, the saint and Cheng Wang have already prepared.

In this way, while rushing on the road, he collected the evil spirits, and soon arrived at Rongfu Lane, where the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion was located. When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw that the mansion gate was open. It was already midnight, but the stewards and servants rushed out. run.

Everyone was a little surprised. Since the old marquis passed away five years ago, the reputation of the Marquis of Lin'an has not been as good as before, but no matter how bad it is, the servants in the house will not be so unruly.

The steward saw that Daoist Master Qingxuzi was like seeing a savior, and ordered people to wait at the door. He approached with a white face and said, "I made the princess and Daoist laugh. There is something wrong in the house, and the little people really dare not stay inside. , is discussing to find our Lord Hou."

"Master Hou is not in the mansion?"

"Half a month ago, our in-law old lady celebrated her birthday. The little marquis took his wife and Mrs. Lang Jun to Luoyang. He said that he would stay for a few more days, so he has not returned yet. Now we are the only servants in the mansion. Something is not right here. The villain invited the Taoist priest Ruo Que from the nearby Supreme Good Temple to watch. If the Taoist priest looked at the door, he insisted that he could not see the slightest evil spirit. Three days ago, a lot of people were there. The mansion bumped into a sneaky, and the little people were terrified. They went to find the Taoist priest Ruo Que, but they bumped into the Taoist priest with his disciples packing their luggage and preparing to leave Chang'an. The Taoist priest said that there is a vision in the sky. Yes, it was all over the street. He was going to go out and hide for a few days. He gave us some talismans and let us ask for more happiness. Tonight, the little people felt that it was too cold in the house. They were afraid of being haunted by evil spirits, so they decided to go out and hide. Dodge."

Wu Dao grinned when he heard it: "If you lack, that old boy is not more reliable than us."

Qing Xuzi and Princess Cheng looked up at the sky above Hou's Mansion. It was no wonder that if the Taoist priest couldn't see the problem, it was obvious that someone had manipulated the place, and there was not even the slightest evil spirit.

"How many wells are there in your palace?" Princess Cheng asked.

Under the guidance of the steward, the group quickly found the well of that year. The well was located in the depths of a path in the garden, surrounded by beautiful flowers. The well was covered with stone covers, and it seemed that it had been abandoned long ago. No more.

As soon as she stepped into the garden, Teng Yuyi felt a gust of gloomy wind blowing. Earlier, Juesheng Qizhi helped her to open her heavenly eyes. Along the way, she could see all kinds of sneaky creatures in the garden, facing the gloomy wind and walking forward. The chill seems to penetrate the marrow.

She was still like this with Xiaoyajian, not to mention other people. When she looked back at the manager of the Hou residence, her lips turned purple from the cold.

Seeing that the well had been found, Princess Cheng hurriedly asked Jue Sheng Qizhi to lead the steward outside.

Qing Xuzi walked around the well.

"Open the manhole cover."

As soon as the manhole cover was removed, screams erupted from the bottom of the well, and a thick yin and evil energy, like a gushing waterfall, rose into the sky in an instant.

Wu Dao and the others were shocked: "Not good. If you only have Chi Kuo and Xiao Gui, it won't be as heavy as Yin Qi. Could it be that it attracted the Feitian Yaksha from the underworld."

Teng Yuyi's heart was pounding, the wellhead was surrounded by black mist, and the bottom was actually bottomless. Through the thick mist, it could be seen that there was an endless black sea underneath. The boundless gloomy sea makes people feel dizzy and palpitated just at a glance.

Even Wu Dao couldn't help shivering. This kind of gloomy scene originating from the underworld was far more terrifying than simply facing monsters such as heavy resistance and corpse evil.

Teng Yuyi has heard of Feitian Yaksha. When she was sheltering from disaster at Dayin Temple last time, she saw the description of this thing in Buddhist scriptures. Females have always liked to go out in pairs.

According to rumors, the pair of Yakshas are "shaped like bats, with wings like seats". When running, they are as fast as wind. With one sharp claws, they can scratch through hard and hard rocks. hit.

Cheng Wangfei's face was frosty: "There are corpses and heavy-duty in front of you, it is not unusual to attract a pair of flying yaksa. Look at this situation, they have already escaped, Kuannu, you go to the Great Yin Temple and tell the abbot Yuanjue, please The abbot gathered all the monks and Daoists in the city all night to fight the demons. The five masters and I stayed here to assist the master in his practice. Juesheng, Jizhi, and Ayu, you three are not enough, so stay outside the battle and protect the commander Chang and others. array."

"Yes."

Before the formation starts, some preparatory work needs to be done. The more urgent the situation is, the more calm and resolute Princess Cheng becomes.

She asked Juesheng Jizhi to **** the servants of the Marquis of Lin'an to Qingyun Temple, and at the same time let Commander Chang enter the palace overnight to report the matter.

At dawn, King Cheng also came from the palace.

Teng Yuyi's heart fell to the ground. The guards were well-trained and commanded by King Cheng himself. With King Cheng's calmness and wisdom, he didn't have to worry about what went wrong when everyone was doing it.

The mouth of the well was covered with talismans in a blink of an eye, but there was still a steady stream of evil spirits pouring out. Not long after, the Taoist priests of several major Chang'an Taoist temples such as Yu Xuguan also rushed to the Hou residence after hearing the news.

Along with them were the disciples Yuanhui and Yuanqing under the abbot Yuanjue.

Thinking of what happened to Master Jing Chen, the abbot was afraid that these Taoists would be mixed with wicked people, and he was busy looking for Feitian Yaksha, so he sent a few sharp disciples to help Qing Xuzi guard the formation.

Qing Xuzi didn't say thank you, but couldn't help but glanced at the two big monks several times.

After a series of intensive arrangements, the Marquis of Lin'an's mansion was waiting in full force.

The huge mansion had three floors and three floors, and in an instant it was filled with people from all over the world.

Qing Xuzi sat cross-legged in the middle of the crowd and said solemnly: "As soon as the gate of **** opens, the people of Chang'an cannot escape. This gate has been opened for more than three days, and it is not a day's work to close it, even if the poor road returns with five signs. It takes seven days and seven nights to seal the entrance of the cave. Besides, you can see that besides the evil ghosts, there are still a large number of innocent wandering souls here. When the time comes, please ask fellow Taoists from Yuxu Guan and Lingyun Guan to help me recite the mantra, so that they can not only send away the ghosts and ghosts nearby, but also prevent them from being devoured by the surrounding evil spirits.”

The crowd said loudly: "According to this."

Qing Xuzi said to Yuanhui Yuanqing again: "Please ask the two mages to help sweep the formation."

"promise."

Qing Xuzi looked at Teng Yuyi again: "Ms. Teng is the one who should be robbed. Wherever you go, evil spirits will follow. When we do this, I also ask Madam Teng to stay outside."

Teng Yuyi said sternly, "Yes."

Qing Xuzi turned his gaze to King Cheng who was outside the formation.

King Cheng stood in the pavilion holding his sword, holding a jade like pine, and not far in front of him was Princess Cheng who was busy checking the formation.

The Scarlet Heaven Sword in King Cheng's arms seemed to sense the evil aura around it, and kept making a buzzing warning sound. Although it had not been unsheathed, the sword light had already swayed the surrounding Yin energy like a wave of water.

King Cheng originally stared at his wife's figure, noticed Qing Xuzi's gaze, turned his head and nodded at Qing Xuzi, his eyes were very soft.

The worry in the old man's eyes disappeared.

After arranging everything, Qingxuzi raised his hand and threw a cloth bag-like thing into the air, and at the same time flicked the whisk, and shouted loudly: "The evil spirits are rampant, and the common people are killed. Disciple Qingxuzi, see the Shangjun. At the time of death, the Taoist **** is helpless. , The disciple wants to sacrifice his body to control all evils and hundreds of ghosts, and self-knowledge that the true way will endure forever. I respectfully invite the Five Emperors and Laojun to help the distressed and distressed by the light of Taixu, cover the heaven and earth, and brighten the world.” (Note)

These words, like Huang Zhong Dalu, shook the world for a while. Qing Xuzi said in a high-pitched voice: "Go to the sun and the moon and go up to the road, as fast as the law, get up—"

At first it was just the rustling of the grass and trees in the garden, and then the sound of the wind suddenly rose up, like the bells and drums of male soldiers joining forces, driving thousands of flags, and driving hundreds of soldiers, gathering from all directions.

At the same time, the dilapidated bag in mid-air suddenly appeared, like a full moon hanging steadily above the well, and a straight column of faint light fell from the bag, constantly competing with the evil spirit at the bottom of the well.

The extremely cold hunting wind at the wellhead seemed to be suppressed by an invisible thick quilt, and suddenly attenuated.

Teng Yuyi's heart was agitated, and in the sound of the mantra chanting by a hundred Taoist priests, the five-phase soul-returning formation that moved the world was officially activated.

This grand formation is a full seven days.

Under the support of Qing Xuzi and others, the spiritual energy of the formation has been prosperous, and the yin energy at the wellhead sometimes weakened and sometimes soared, but there was no sign of closing, but at least the evil things no longer continued to flow out.

In order to avoid mistakes, before the entrance of the cave was officially closed, the people in the formation could only rest for a while at noon when the sun was at its peak. Only at this time could they stop to eat, or get up and walk around.

At this time, Teng Yuyi and Juesheng Qizhi would give hot soup and porridge to all the people in the formation one by one.

Although the sage and the queen are in the palace, they are very concerned about the conquest of demons in the city. In addition to calling the Taoist priests from Luoyang and other places to help eliminate the demons, the queen will bring the food bureau to cook meals for everyone every day. Considering that Guards consume a lot of primordial spirit, and every meal is indispensable for qi-boosting and nourishing things.

At noon on the seventh day, Daoist Qingxuzi remained motionless, but his face was already quite ugly. Juesheng and Qizhi personally fed the master, and Qingxuzi only took two bites and waved his hands to withdraw.

Teng Yuyi was very worried. These large formations had extremely high demands on the internal strength of the main formation. The Taoist priest was already old, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to support it after a few days.

Wang Cheng and Wang Fei also looked worried. Princess Cheng got up and said something to Daoist Master Qingxuzi, probably suggesting that another Daoist priest should come to the main formation. Daoist priest opened his eyes and looked around, then closed his eyes again. Slowly shaking his head. Knowing the people, knowing the face but not the heart, if there is a change, it is not only Teng Yuyi who should suffer, but these people in the formation, and even the people of Chang'an, will not escape the disaster.

Juesheng and Qizhi came out with their food boxes, and Teng Yuyi pushed the good meal in front of them: "Daoist, he—"

Qi Zhi took a sip of rice nervously, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, with the internal strength of the old man, it will be no problem to support him for two more days."

"That's right, that's right." Jue Sheng replied, "Tonight is a cloudy day, if you survive tonight, you will be done, and the senior brother will be returning to Chang'an soon.
