Capture the Jade

Chapter 79: 【Catch Bugs】Subduing Demons

Song Jian suddenly fell silent.

It seemed that Lin Chengyou's words had aroused a glimmer of hope, and he seemed to be thinking about something. For a while, Lin Chengyou could only hear intermittent gasps.

Lin Chengyou knew that his horse was **** in a narrow alley in front of him, not far away, and he could mount his horse after two more streets. However, the poison fed on the arrow was obviously very strong, so he ran into the night. Yes, Song Jian's breath suddenly weakened.

Lin Chengyou was so anxious that when it was a matter of life and death, one's willpower often **** everything else, so he prepared a lot of words to provoke Song Jian, but at this time Song Jian took the initiative to speak: "I have never seen that person behind the scenes. The master's house, but I guess it was a man... Once when I went to look for that person, because I didn't report it in advance, the person didn't have time to respond, and there was still a person hiding in the room. As soon as I entered the room, I heard someone leaving The sound of footsteps is the sound of a man's boots, and the inner strength is above me..."

He took a breath and said intermittently: "...The master behind the scenes is very capable, and the round of taking the fetus is perfectly arranged. If it hadn't happened that day witnesses broke into the scene, it is estimated that even... even the prince would have He would think that the slut's death was just a part of a serial murder case, and I also thought that there would be no flaws in it... that I agreed to join... The person guessed that I would be here tonight to capture the scene, and he couldn't find the time, so he had to put this The news was revealed to the master behind the scenes, that's why they came so quickly..."

Lin Chengyou nodded.

He knew in his heart that the more Song Jian talked at this time, the faster his inner strength would be lost. Although he really wanted to ask further questions, he patiently stopped asking questions.

Song Jian was silent for a moment, his voice was a little hoarse when he laughed: "In the past, I didn't deal much with the prince, but I only knew that the prince was smart and suave. In this case tonight, the prince's behavior is really... I really admire Song, but I don't know much because I don't know much, because That person and I are... each takes what they need. I guard against that person, and that person guards against me, but I know that the person must be absent on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. The master is conspiring to make a big deal, you may find something by following this clue."

Lin Chengyou: "If you have anything to say, I'll talk to Shang Pharmacy."

Song Jian smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see anymore, I'm afraid I won't wait for Shang Pharmacy to talk about it."

Lin Chengyou's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became blind, which meant that the toxin had spread to his brain. Even if Yu Fengyu rescued him immediately, it would be more fortunate, but he still did not slow down. Instead, he went faster and faster.

The night is so dark, the road to the Shang Pharmacy is so long, no matter how hard you fight, after all, you won't be able to win God's will, and only after passing through a square wall, you can feel that Song Jian's breath is barely audible, Lin Chengyou's chest is cold, Song Jian also seemed to realize that his deadline had come, so he smiled bleakly: "My grandfather is the one I am most sorry for in my life, there is something I want to ask the prince to tell my grandfather: 'My son's death is more than enough for him to go to hell. As soon as I leave, I will no longer be able to do my filial piety under his old man's knees in the future. My son is ashamed and remorseful. I just hope he...he will take care of the old man'. I have a pair of puppets in my sleeve, which were custom-made for Dalang and Auntie outside a few days ago. I brought it back during the day, and I planned to bring it to Dalang and Auntie at night, but now I can only ask the prince..."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "Brother Song, please tell me Zhenniang's birthday and the exact time of her death, and I'll come up with ideas."

There was originally silence behind him. Song Jian's breathing suddenly became heavier as soon as he said these words, as if he couldn't believe it, and he said in a trembling voice, "Is there a way..."

Busily said again: "...Zhenniang...she was born on the 11th day of the sixth month of the Gengxu year, and the day of her death is the end of the second day of the 2nd day of the seventh month of the Xinwei year."

I remember this clearly... Lin Chengyou nodded and said, "There is a way, but it's more troublesome. Ghosts are also ghosts themselves. Even if they eat the wreckage of people, they can't use the wreckage for their own use. The soul spit out again. I guess Zhenniang's soul is still wandering in Chang'an, but it can't be recalled by ordinary spiritism, but the door of the mysterious female must be opened first..."

Moreover, no Taoist priest in the world would be willing to lose his cultivation to help people piece together the soul, but compared to letting an innocent victim live forever and never be reincarnated, what is it to lose one or two years of cultivation? do so.

It's just that this kind of big magic has always been arranged by the master alone. If the master can't come back recently, it will only be done by him and the saint as if he recruited the soul of Mrs. Anguo last time.

Song Jian listened absently. Although he didn't say a word, his breathing became more and more rapid. Lin Chengyou's heart became colder and colder. This was a sign that the light was returning. Song Jian was able to hold his last breath because of his obsession with reuniting with his wife.

After hearing Lin Chengyou's words, Song Jian seemed to be ecstatic, and said three times in a row, "Then...then I'll ask the prince...If Zhenniang's soul is found, be sure to lead me to meet her soul. She made an appointment to... to..."

There was a sudden silence behind the shoulders.

Lin Chengyou stopped: "Brother Song."

No answer.

Song Jian has died.

Lin Chengyou stood silently on the spot for a while, slowly put Song Jian down from behind, put the corpse on the ground, and looked down dumbly.

Song Jian's eyes were still open, but a smile was condensed on his lips, and the smile was a little carefree, as if he finally got what he wanted.

After a moment of silence, Lin Chengyou touched Song Jian's sleeve, took out two small puppets, faced Song Jian's corpse, and solemnly finished what he had not said before: "Okay, I promise Brother Song."

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and the Jinwu guards finally caught up.

Lin Chengyou slowly stood up and said to Jin Wuwei, "Escort Song Jian's corpse to Dali Temple."

***

Teng Yuyi was sitting at the table reading a book. The "Qin Jue" had already been smashed by her. This handwritten fragment was dropped by Ajie in front of the temple. The title of the book was too worn out, but the content was very interesting. There are various ancient Buddhist scriptures recorded in it, which makes people fascinated when they see it.

Unknowingly, after finishing most of the book, Teng Yuyi turned her head to look at the open Xuan window, the courtyard was silent, and occasionally a few insects could be heard. March has passed, and today is the first day of April, which is once a month. On the new moon day, the moonlight is much darker than usual.

Too quiet.

Unbelievably quiet.

In fact, not only tonight, but the two days in the temple were very quiet. During the day, apart from going to the front to eat three meals, there was almost nothing to do in the rest of the day. Teng Yu wanted to be idle, so she had to practice the Qinggong that Lin Chengyou taught her that day. At the end of the day, it's a small success.

For the first two days, Juesheng and Qizhi came to find her whenever they had time. The three sat at the stone table under the pear tree, chatting and eating snacks. The two told her that they did not know who the real murderer was, but The senior brother told them that no matter what happened, just remember that the real murderer wanted to seek Tongjun Yueshuo wholeheartedly.

To this day, even Juesheng and Jizhi are not in the temple.

Teng Yuyi knew that no one else could send the two of them. It was only Lin Chengyou's idea that Juesheng and Qizhi were transferred. She secretly guessed that they had gone to Tongzhou with their senior brother, so she didn't know that the murderer had been caught.

Teng Yuyi rested her cheeks in contemplation, while Biluo and Chunrong over there were also busy. One came over yawning to help Teng Yuyi make the quilt, and the other ironed the clothes and socks that Teng Yuyi was going to wear tomorrow and hung up.

"Ma'am, it's time to sleep."

Teng Yuyi put down the scroll in her hand, and when she looked up, she saw the sachet in Chunrong's hand. She suddenly remembered that when a few young ladies went to Yunhuitang for dinner the day before yesterday, Erniang Peng happily took out her new sachet to show them. , the sachet passed into Duan Qingying's hand, Duan Qingying not only did not praise it, but turned her head suddenly as if she had smelled something extremely unpleasant.

This time, not only Peng Erniang was embarrassed, but others also felt rude.

After that time, Duan Qingying said that she only stayed in her room and never went to Yunhui Hall again.

In Teng Yuyi's view, Duan Qingying's behavior couldn't be more bizarre.

Thinking of Lin Chengyou's expression that night, he didn't know what secret Duan Qingying had discovered by Lin Chengyou, but he refused to reveal it.

If Duan Qingying just fell into evil, there is no need to hide it.

Chunrong came over and urged again and again, Teng Yuyi had no choice but to walk towards the bed thoughtfully, and as she walked, a thought suddenly popped into her mind.

I remember that Duan Qingying also vomited inexplicably that day. My aunt saw it and said that she was the same when she was pregnant. She looked like a cold and liked to vomit when she smelled everything.

Teng Yuyi's scalp exploded, Duan Qingying must be pregnant, she secretly thought about Duan Qingying's various abnormalities in the past few days, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was such a possibility.

No wonder Lin Chengyou hesitated, thinking that no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would be embarrassed to discuss the matter of a young lady who was unmarried and pregnant in front of people.

Teng Yuyi's heart jumped, and suddenly he heard a loud noise in the night sky, a bit like the roar of a beast, but also like a drum beat on the battlefield. It was as loud as thunder and gloomy. People are cold all over.

Teng Yuyi was startled, and Chunrong and Biluo were also startled: "Then, what's the movement?"

But when he heard footsteps outside, Duanfu had obviously heard the sound and came: "Miss! There seems to be a change in front of you."

Teng Yuyi immediately put on his outer clothes and cape, hid Xiaoyajian in his sleeve, opened the door first and ran out: "What happened?"

Duan Fu stared at the strange white light above the temple, and his expression became more and more strange: "I don't know, the old slave has already asked Chang Geng to look ahead."

After waiting for a while, footsteps sounded again on the path outside, the walls of the courtyard swayed with flames, and there seemed to be a lot of people coming.

"Miss!" was Chang Geng's voice, "Master Mingxin is here."

In the next instant, I heard Ming Xin's voice: "Teng Tanyue, Nai Chong broke into the temple, quickly follow the poor monk."

Chunrong and the others were taken aback, Teng Yuyi opened the door, and all the people who came were familiar faces, except for the two eldest disciples of Abbot Yuanjue, and the Taoist priests of various Taoist temples who helped to conquer demons at Yuzhen Nuguan Guan that day. , Several Taoists seemed to have come to the temple temporarily to help subdue the demons, and they all looked nervous.

In addition, there were Aunt Peng, Li Huaigu and others who were shivering with fright in the crowd. Duan Qingying was wearing a large cloak, and even her eyes were hidden under the hood.

Sweeping around carefully, I didn't see Jue Sheng and Abandoned Wisdom, and I didn't see Jian Tian and Jian Xian.

Mingxin said: "It's not too late, the abbot led people to trap Zhezhong in front of you. You have no mana to protect your body. The abbot is afraid that Zhanzhong's Yin force will hurt Zhu Tanyue, so let the poor monk take you to the barrier to hide."

Teng Yuyi secretly looked at the Xuanyin bell on her wrist and made sure there was nothing unusual about the person who came. She looked up at the sky above the temple, and in an instant, it was overcast, and said hurriedly, "Please, the Master lead the way."

Ming Xin led the crowd straight to the back of the temple. No one was in the mood to chat on the road. The little ladies were terrified of each other. Even Erniang Peng, who was always the most noisy, was too frightened to speak. There was a loud noise in the sky, Ming Xin's complexion changed greatly, he stopped to look back for a moment, turned his head and said to the Taoist person beside him: "In front of you is the barrier that the abbot has prepared in advance. The formation is broken for some reason, and the abbot and a few juniors may not be able to withstand it, so the poor monk must hurry up and help."

Several Taoist priests hurriedly said: "It's important to subdue the demons. I'll wait for a few Tanyues to be placed and come to help immediately."

Ming Xin left in a hurry, the Taoist priests led the group for a short distance, the thunder was rolling overhead, and the cloudy clouds came in mid-air. There seemed to be something hidden on the clouds, and they went straight to the crowd, and the little ladies were shocked. Screaming in agony, the expressions of the Dao froze, and they drew their swords to greet them.

In an instant, I saw the strange fog lingering in the forest, making people lose their direction all of a sudden, Master Jing Chen said very loudly: "Everyone Tan Yue, quickly follow the poor road."

Teng Yuyi wanted to follow, but suddenly realized that, despite the strangeness around her, Xuanyinling and Xiaoyajian remained the same. Thinking of the words of Juesheng and Jizhi yesterday, a gust of wind seemed to pass through her heart. Could it be that someone did this on purpose? making fun of-

She looked at Shitai Jingchen's back, not only refused to follow, but grabbed Chunrong and Biluo, and shouted to Aunt Peng and others, "Come this way."

Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng were still stunned, Li Huaigu was stunned for a while, and ran towards Teng Yuyi without saying a word.

Master Jing Chen was too surprised: "Teng Tanyue, Li Tanyue, this is the enchantment."

Not only did Teng Yuyi keep running, but he ran faster. The fog was extremely strange, as if it could obstruct people's eyes and ears. Duanfu's night vision ability was very strong, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction for a while. A shrill scream penetrated the fog, as if countless ghosts were chasing after him. Teng Yuyi secretly said that it was bad, but there was a person facing her. She was busy trying to dodge, but she heard the man say, "Teng Yuyi?"

As he spoke, he fell down and grabbed her arm.

Teng Yuyi was shocked, that beautiful voice was all too familiar.

"Sir?"

When Li Huaigu heard these words, he also stopped in his tracks.

Duan Fu was about to turn his fist into a palm to attack the man, when he heard Lin Chengyou's voice, and withdrew his palm abruptly.

There was a flash of fire in front of him, Lin Chengyou lit the scythe, Teng Yuyi could see his face clearly, and the hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

When Lin Chengyou came, the screams of the ghosts stopped abruptly, and the surrounding fog also dissipated in an instant.

Lin Chengyou hurriedly took a picture of it with the firelight, only to find that in addition to Teng Yuyi's master and servant, there was a little lady beside him.

Li Huaigu's face was pale, and he was obviously too frightened. He shivered twice, but he still didn't forget to salute: "Thank you, Prince for saving you."

Lin Chengyou lowered his eyes and realized that he was still holding Teng Yuyi's arm. He had no other intentions. Just now, in a hurry, he was afraid that Teng Yuyi would run around. The temple was so big that it would be hard to find it at that time, so he hurriedly released his hand. He said, "I happened to be passing by, and I met you running around here. Let's go, I will take you to the real enchantment."

His tone was lower and hoarse than usual, and there was no smile on his face. At first glance, he knew that he was in a bad mood. Teng Yuyi was a little surprised, but looking around, he found that they were still on the way to the chef. When asked Lin Chengyou, such as where Juesheng and Qizhi were, because Li Huaigu was beside him, he had to say nothing.

Master Jing Chen escorted Duan Qingying and the others to the back alley of the chef, and went around for a long time, but still did not reach the enchantment that Master Mingxin said, Aunt Peng and Erniang Peng slowly began to feel that something was not right Now, looking at Shi Tai's petite figure in front of him, he said in a trembling voice, "Master, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Master Jing Chen said too warmly, "Just go around this alley."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice in front of him: "Amitabha! The sea of ​​evil is vast, turn back to the shore."

A large group of monks approached, completely blocking the way forward for Shitai Jingchen and others.
