Capture the Jade

As soon as Juesheng and Qizhi left, Lin Chengyou raised his arm to look at his injury.

This little injury on the arm is a trivial matter. Even if she falls into the water, it can be regarded as Teng Yuyi's innocence. What he really cares about is her hidden weapons.

He had already inspected it before, and it was all extremely vicious and harmful tricks.

Take the hairpin that stuck him, not only sharp, but also with numerous thin hooks at the end.

Once pierced, it will be a hundred times more painful to store than an ordinary hidden weapon, not to mention that the poison is fed to the top, which can be said to be more damage. Whoever wants to be shot by this hidden weapon can only experience the feeling.

That's all. When Teng Yuyi pulled out, he deliberately let those thin hooks stir a few more times in his wound, so the wound looked small on the surface, but the wound inside was not shallow. The blood couldn't stop.

He frowned and tore off his inner sleeves and tied his arms. He thought it was specially made by the Teng Mansion, but he thought that Teng Shao, who has been guarding the outside all the year round, would have no spare time for people to customize such cunning and quirky women's hidden weapons, even if they were to be used for her daughter's self-defense Some are upright protective gear, so don't think about it, this must be a good idea that Teng Yuyi came up with.

As early as when she coaxed Juesheng to steal itch for her, he guessed that she was not at ease, and her actions tonight further confirmed his guess.

Just imagine how skillful and decisive she was when she released her hidden weapons before she fell unconscious. It can be seen that she is used to doing it, and maybe she plans to use these hidden weapons to harm people at all times.

If she is in the world, he will not find it strange. After all, she is often in danger, and it is inevitable that she will take some self-protection when she is in danger, but she is a noble girl...

The mansion is strictly guarded, and there are strong servants to protect him when he goes out. He usually spends time in Yangzhou or Chang'an, and his contacts are no more than women from aristocratic families. In such a leisurely environment, even if he wants to break his head, he can't think of Teng Yuyi's reason. You have to carry such a hidden weapon with you, and if you don't shoot it, it will be so vicious.

I heard that she was just getting married, and at such a young age, she had already started to work hard to create tricky hidden weapons that would hurt people.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes and looked at the quiet door in front of him. Previously, when she detoxified him with a smile on her face, her subordinates deliberately played tricks, and they did not reveal any traces on the key aspects, so that others could not notice.

Hypocrisy and vicious, this Teng Yuyi is all about it.

Don't be in a hurry, what exactly is she going to do to tickle the itch, and there is no trace of it so far.

He smiled meaningfully, glanced at He Mingsheng and Calyx Ji beside him, both of them were dumbfounded, deliberately said a few words to them, and it took a long while to respond, so good, don't worry about their bad things.

When dealing with wicked people, there should be a way to deal with wicked people. No matter what kind of poison was in that Ge Jin, after hearing what he said, Teng Yuyi couldn't help but be frightened.

The best thing is that the poison in Ge Jin is really poisonous. After Teng Yuyi was frightened, he could be honest for a few days and hurt a few people less.

Lin Chengyou thought like this, the door was stuck from the outside, and he was sure that he couldn't open it from the inside, so he walked down the steps unhurriedly.

He checked around the courtyard, and the Caifeng Building was concave and convex, like a shallow well. If there were golden toads buried around it, it would naturally be a treasure basin.

This place is extremely yin and extremely fertile, and it is not suitable for suppressing evil things. It is unbelievable why it was chosen in such a place back then, and it seems to be extremely effective. One town lasts for hundreds of years.

I don't know why the formation suddenly failed, and it just smashed the stone tablet underground... He squatted down to look carefully, and suddenly heard Teng Yuyi screaming in the room, there was a hint of sneering in his eyes, and he waited for a while. Then he clapped his hands and got up.

When he got to the door, he locked the door: "Young Master Wang?"

Didn't hear Teng Yuyi's response, couldn't he faint? Lin Chengyou didn't let the smile on his face, and pretended to ask with concern, "Young Master Wang, are you alright?"

Still no response, Lin Chengyou estimated that he was almost done, raised his hand and opened the door, expecting to see Teng Yuyi shivering while hugging the legs of the table, or she was so frightened that her face was disheveled, but who knew that she would be standing beside the desk.

The smile in his eyes condensed, Teng Yuyi picked up the pen stand beside his feet, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, this thing fell to the ground just now, and it shocked me."

Lin Chengyou glanced at the bed, and Ge Jin was still in a drowsiness in neat clothes. Teng Yuyi was lucky, and the poison in Ge Jin was not poisonous.

Teng Yuyi walked over to Lin Chengyou as if nothing had happened: "There are indeed traces on Ge Jin's heart, golden, and the shape is probably like this. I drew it. There is no golden colored sand in the room, so I can only use ink instead."

Her ruddy complexion didn't look like she had just been frightened, Lin Chengyou quietly watched her approach, smiled suddenly, took the paper she handed over and said, "Young Prince Lao."

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "It's just a gesture of effort."

She snorted coldly in her heart, what was Lin Chengyou'an's thoughts, she was like a mirror in her heart, in the past, being bullied like this, she would never let it go, she just hated that she couldn't act rashly now.

Lin Chengyou is cunning and wise, and his temperament is domineering. The matter of itching bugs and hidden weapons has made him suspicious, and he will never get the upper hand if he entangles with him.

Fortunately, the night is coming to an end. As long as Huoqiu settles down, she can leave immediately, leave the building, and have nothing to do with Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou shook the paper, and frowned when he saw the mark drawn by Teng Yuyi, it wasn't poisonous poison or fire poison, it was hyena poison.

It's really troublesome. This is the most difficult situation. To save Ge Jin's life, you can only—

He took off the sachet from his waist and took out the pills, and he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door, and Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi ran over with a bag in their arms.

The two caught a glimpse of Teng Yuyi in the room, and the two hanging hearts fell to the ground. Fortunately, Mrs. Teng was not frightened.

Lin Chengyou poured all the pills into the palm of his hand, and rushed to Calyx Ji who was outside the door and said, "Aunt Calyx, come into the room, and quickly take this medicine to Ge Jin."

When Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi saw the pill, they were shocked and said, "Senior brother, this won't work."

Lin Chengyou looked at them: "What's wrong?"

"This is Yan Xidan." Jue Sheng Qizhi rushed into the room and said in a low voice, "Don't forget that you were in Ziyun Tower last time, senior brother, your six yuan pills have been divided, and the master has not returned to Chang'an, so the one in Guanli The medicinal materials are not enough, if even Yanxidan is used by others, in case you yourself—"

"I don't want to use it for others, but this woman is a mana poison. Do you have any other way?"

The expressions of the two changed: "The hyena poison?"

"She is already poisoned, and if she drags it on, she will die."

Without a word, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi snatched the pill in Lin Chengyou's palm and ran to the bed to give Ge Jin the medicine.

Teng Yuyi watched from the side, secretly thinking that Lin Chengyou had a secret illness. The last time it was Liuyuan Dan, this time it was called Yan Xidan. I don't know if Daoist Qingxuzi had instructed him. Lin Chengyou always seemed to carry pills with him, and he did so. Not for Shirenbude, just for his own use.

She couldn't help looking at Lin Chengyou curiously, this son was alive and well, it really didn't look like he was sick.

Suddenly, I remembered the big dream the day before yesterday. In the dream, her soul returned to her father's temple three years after her death. She encountered a strange scene in the temple. The palace people heard that Lin Chengyou was assassinated in Beirong, and suddenly Panicked hands and feet.

This dream is too strange, not to mention whether it is true or not, how could she dream of Lin Chengyou?

Qizhi and Juesheng fed medicine over there, Ge Jin's complexion improved, He Mingsheng and Caly Ji entered the house, trembling to check Ge Jin's condition.

Lin Chengyou looked at the scar on Ge Jin's cheek, shook his head and sighed: "This injury was caused by a ghost, and it hurts the muscles. It is estimated that there is no hope of recovery."

When Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Madam Ge Jin's injury showed no trace of ghosts, and it was clearly caused by someone.

The senior brother must have seen better than them, why he said such a thing openly.

Teng Yuyi was idle and had nothing to do, so he also looked closer. The sky was already bright, and Ge Jin's face was fully visible in the morning light. There were four scratches on the left cheek, the blood scabs were not covered, and there were faint snail rolls. dead meat.

"It's pitiful." Calyx Ji sighed and helped Ge Jin tuck the quilt tightly.

He Mingsheng's face was full of regret: "In order to buy the Ge Jin, the villain spent more than ten thousand gold, and every day when the Bodhisattva made offerings, Sheng was afraid that she would not go with her wishes. Seeing that he was about to emerge in Pingkangfang, he was ruined by the ghost. Isn't the little man's hard work all in vain?"

Juesheng and Jizhi only thought that He Mingsheng was sorry for what happened to Ge Jin before, and couldn't help but pouted after hearing it.

At this moment, a temple visitor came running: "Master, there are many Marquis Wu and bad people outside."

The people in the room were startled, but Lin Chengyou said, "It's just right."

He took the lead to walk out, Teng Yuyi followed behind everyone calmly, halfway through, Huo Qiu came towards him and whispered, "Miss, everything is arranged, let's go."

When I reached the front building, I saw that the central hall was full of people, and the Lizheng in Pingkangfang was also there. The officials looked up and had no time to wonder why Lin Chengyou was wearing wet clothes. He hurriedly straightened his clothes and strode up to greet him.

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity to call Calyx Ji aside, took out an orb and threw it to Calyx Ji: "You will be rewarded. I'll wrap up Juanerli and Baozhu. You are not allowed to beat them or ask them to accompany others for half a year. guest."

Calyx Ji's eyelids flickered, and she wanted to wrap Erli and Baozhu for half a year just by relying on one orb, which was undoubtedly bullying. The lady's background is not small, if nothing else, just look at the guard next to her.

If you don't agree, you might get yourself into trouble. It's worth it, Juanerli and Baozhu are still young, and it is indeed difficult to meet those difficult guests on weekdays. It would be good for them to hone their skills quietly in the past six months, so they happily stuffed the orb into their chest: "Nujia Understood, from today onwards, Juanerli and Baozhu will only serve Wang Gongzi alone."

Over there, Lin Chengyou changed into clean clothes, and asked people to buy hu cakes and houto for the two junior brothers to eat.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi drank the hot Houto soup while listening to Lin Chengyou talking to the officials around them.

Lin Chengyou allowed the medical worker to bandage his wound again, and said while drinking tea: "There were two big monsters under the formation, and they broke out last night. One is a bird monster, and I haven't checked the details for the time being."

The officials looked different: "His Royal Highness, Chang'an has not seen any evil spirits for many years, but it has only been a few months, and several major incidents have already happened. The last time was a tree monster who only took the body of a beauty, this time the evil spirit It was related to a brothel."

I dare not say the rest. It is obviously a prosperous age of Kangping, so why are there so many monsters in the world.

Lin Chengyou couldn't guess what they were thinking, and snorted: "I will find out the origin of these monsters soon. The two monsters broke out last night and disappeared, but they may come out again at any time to harm others. People are injured, and from now on, I will invite the monks and Taoists of each temple to patrol the streets every day, and say hello to you in advance, so that you can know what to do.”

The officials only obeyed orders.

"In addition to cooperating with these monks on patrol, you also need to send letters to each household. If there is no urgent matter at night, people should not go out without authorization."

"The humble post will be arranged immediately."

Qizhi saw that Lin Chengyou was only concerned with arranging things, and did not need to eat for a long time, so he got up and quietly pushed the soup bowl in front of Lin Chengyou.

Jue Sheng was sweating profusely from eating, and at this time he raised his head dully: "Senior brother, you are only arranging for us to eat, but you are unwilling to eat it yourself, this soup will be cold if you don't drink it."

Only then did Lin Chengyou pick up the chopsticks for dinner: "Don't say it, I'm really hungry."

However, the officials around him continued to ask him for instructions, and the meal was extremely unpleasant.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi finished their breakfast and sighed while holding their cheeks. Poor senior, it is fortunate that they are by their side, otherwise who will take care of the senior's diet and daily life.

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng and his concubine left Chang'an for more than half a year, and they took the second son with them before leaving, saying that the brothers had traveled around with them when they were young, and this time it was the turn of the second son, Ah Shuang.

It was also said that last year, Princess Azhi delayed her studies because she traveled to the south of the Yangtze River. This year, she needed to stay in Chang'an and study hard. Princess Changyi just happened to be reluctant to hold Princess Azhi, and she went to live in the palace.

That's all, even Master left Chang'an under the banner of Yunyou.

As a result, there were only two of them left beside the senior brothers.

In the past, this was not a thing. Master often said that senior brothers were naughty, and could not be separated from the elders' discipline, but this time Master and Cheng Wang and his wife left Chang'an one after another. This is really unintelligible, could it be that it is intentional to let senior brothers experience it?

The two of them exchanged one hand and continued to hold their round cheeks and sighed. Although there are still saints and queens in Chang'an City, the saints and queens have always regarded their senior brothers as their own sons, but I heard that the saints have a generous temperament. The queen is easy-going, and the two live in the palace. It is more than enough to discipline the master of Azhi, but it is inevitable that the elder brother will be out of reach.

She was sighing and sighing when Calyx Ji came over with Juanerli.

Calyx Ji bowed at Lin Chengyou and said with a smile: "Sir, we are still a little stunned by Juan Erli, please help me to see if she still has demon poison in her body."

Juan'erli was leaning beside Calyx Ji, her expression was a little dull, her complexion was white and greasy like jade, and after getting sick, she became more delicate and delicate like pear blossoms and rain. Apricot yellow high-cut skirt.

Lin Chengyou turned to look at the two of them: "Didn't you already use Qingxin Pill?"

Juesheng and Qizhi were also puzzled that Juanerli was able to walk and speak, except that she was mentally unwell, and could not see anything wrong. She got up and looked at it.

Juan Erli said embarrassedly, "Trouble the two priests, but the slave family is not feeling any discomfort..."

However, Qi Ji kept pushing Juanerli towards Lin Chengyou: "The slave family thinks that they are also poisoned by a demon, and the prince has already returned to normal, but Juanerli has always been weak and dizzy, and the slave family is afraid that something will happen, so they think Please give her a good look again."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "So that's what happened, the sage abandons wisdom, you can take a good look at Juan Erli. As for Aunt Calyx, I don't think it's right-"

Calyx Ji's face turned pale: "The slave family?"

"Qingxin Pill also take a few pills for Aunt Calyx."

Juesheng and Qizhi scratched their heads in embarrassment. Senior brother must think that Aunt Calyx is annoying. Qingxin pills can only be taken by people who have been poisoned by demons. Normal people will have diarrhea for a few days after eating them.

"Little Daoist, give the slave family a few more pills." After hearing Lin Chengyou's words, Calyx Ji was already disturbed.

Qizhi's kindness only gave Qiji one grain, but Qiji reached out and snatched several grains.

The two were busy trying to take it back, but they were stopped by Lin Chengyou: "Hey, isn't it just a few Qingxin Pills, if Aunt Calyx wants to give it to her, how can you be so stingy."

Calyx Ji ate all the medicine in one go, but she still didn't forget her original intention, she smiled and pulled Zhuan'erli closer, and said cautiously, "Why don't Shizi show him personally, just now she said that there is an illusion in front of her— "

Lin Chengyou snorted and was about to speak, but as if remembering something, he raised his eyes to look at Juan Erli.

Calyx Ji's heart suddenly ignited hope, her brows and eyes fluttered: "Shizi, Juanerli she..."

Lin Chengyou's gaze went beyond the two of them and went straight to the door.

There was a golden shadow in front of the door, and in the middle stood a slender Hu man, it was Teng Yuyi.

"Illusion..." Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi thoughtfully, and suddenly said to Absolute Sage and Abandoned Wisdom, "Miss Gejin should have woken up, you go to her room to confirm one thing."

***

Teng Yuyi lowered the curtain of the car, and looked at the jade sword in her palm through the morning light.

After tossing for a whole night, she finally got rid of the curse. This sword has great magical powers. With it protecting her body, she will no longer have those terrifying and lengthy nightmares. In the future, she will encounter aliens who killed their masters and servants in the past life. A weapon that can break sorcery.

"Go back to the Du residence." She happily instructed Huoqiu.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, the cart suddenly stopped, and Huo Qiu said, "Young Master, the Supreme Daoist of Qingyun Temple is here."

"Sacred Jue?" Teng Yuyi opened the curtains and saw a small carriage parked beside the road. Jue Sage jumped out of the car and ran to her car.

"Young Master Teng, take a step to speak."

"Get in the car."

Jue Sheng and Teng Yuyi have been with each other for a few times, and they are already familiar with each other, and they don't pay attention to the red tape.

"symbol?"

Jue Sheng took out a picture from his sleeve and said: "Ms. Ge Jin has already woken up, senior brother Fang Cai asked her to identify this picture, Ge Jin said she had seen the well on it, so the senior guessed right, the monster is Use the memories of living people as illusions."

Teng Yuyi took it and took a look. It was the abandoned garden she had drawn.

"What Qizhi saw was the memories of Juan'erli's childhood, Master Teng, what you saw was the memory of Ge Jin. When you saw the illusion on the second floor, Ge Jin was still in his room, so it was weird. It's not to kidnap people at will, but to set a target early, we guess these illusions are the so-called premonitions, first set illusions and then harm people."

Teng Yuyi understood: "Are you worried that Yaoyi will come to me next?"

Juesheng nodded: "That's right, that Yaoyi once turned into a hairpin and Hua Langjun to poison you, and later turned into a gejin to lure you out of the window. Although it has sneaked away now, senior brother always feels that it is a monster. Yi is very interested in you, and Qizhi is very worried when he hears it, so he specially asked me to send a talisman."

As he said, he took out a bunch of talismans from his arms: "After Mrs. Teng goes back, she will stick these talismans on the doors and windows, so that Yaoyi will not dare to trespass."

Speaking of this, Juesheng smiled: "Actually, Madam Teng has an emerald sword to protect her body, so Yaoyi dare not come to you easily, but it won't hurt to have more talismans on her body.

Teng Yuyi took the talisman paper: "Abandoned wisdom's hand is still injured..."

Juesheng waved his hand: "You know, Qizhi is a mother-in-law, he said that he is not afraid of ten thousand, but only in case, so he must draw more talismans for Mrs. Teng. But I am also worried about his injured hand, so I only let him He painted a few, and I painted the rest."

Teng Yuyi looked at Juesheng quietly, Juesheng saw that she suddenly stopped talking, and was a little overwhelmed: "Miss Teng..."

Teng Yuyi turned around and took two boxes of dim sum from several cases: "This is the Yulu ball that my aunt made yesterday, do you like it or not, and the other box is for Qizhi Taoist Master, you help me bring it to him."

Jue Sheng's eyes couldn't help but swirl on the lacquer box: "...Senior brother Fang Cai has given us a meal."

"What's the use of a meal in the morning? The head here is Lingsha, plain stuffed. Daoist can rest assured to eat." Teng Yuyi opened the lid of the box, and the fragrance overflowed, "Is it fragrant?"

"Xiang." Jue Sheng swallowed.

Teng Yuyi put the two boxes of jade dew **** into Juesheng's arms without saying a word: "If you like it, I will send some to Qingyun Temple another day. In addition to the Lingsandang made by my aunt, the cook in our Teng House also Very good at making dim sum,"

Jue Sheng blushed with joy: "Then thank Madam Teng, oh yes, thank Madam Du for me and Qi Zhi."

Teng Yuyi suddenly remembered something: "Is the injury on Ge Jin's face really the work of the 'evil ghost'?"

Juesheng shook his head and said: "I don't think Qizhi and I are different, but Senior Brother claimed that he was murdered by a ghost, I guess he should have his own considerations when he said that. Madam Teng, don't you think that this Caifenglou is very revealing. Weird? The former owner and wife of the Caibohang store died strangely, the monsters suppressed in the backyard were strange, and Ge Jin was injured strangely. All kinds of strange things are incredible. The senior brother has already reported to the boss of Dali Temple, and it is estimated that he should check it carefully."

"Your brother works in Dali Temple?"

Jue Sheng said in surprise, "Miss Teng doesn't know?"

Teng Yuyi smiled, she must know.

Jue Sheng smiled and said: "Senior brother ran to attend the Mingjing department last year, and the Cheng Wang couple thought that brother was playing a joke, but he didn't expect him to be the first in the Mingjing department, and then passed the selection test of the Ministry of Personnel. I went to work at Dali Temple, and now my senior brother is the lowest-ranked commentator in Dali Temple (Note 1), and he often investigates cases in the workshop."

Teng Yuyi nodded his head. Dali's judges are not high-ranking officials, but this position requires familiarity with the code of law and criminal punishment. After the expiration of the term, he can often be promoted directly to the supervisory censor. Because the position is small and large, it has always been an important position that the sons of princes are keen to compete for.

Jue Sheng got up and said, "Miss Teng, the poor Taoist has to rush to Dongmingguan as soon as possible, so I will leave first."

Saying that, he jumped out of the cart, and suddenly put his head in again: "I almost forgot one of the most important things. Senior brother asked me to tell Mrs. Teng: I have nothing to do recently."

Teng Yuyi frowned secretly when she heard Lin Chengyou's name, but said with a smile, "Got it."

After Juesheng left, Huoqiu drove the car again. Seeing that he was about to reach the Du residence, a group of carriages and horses rushed towards him.

Huoqiu pulled the reins and said, "It's Uncle Cheng."

Cheng Bo galloped to the front, turned over and dismounted and said, "Miss, this old slave went back to the house this morning. I heard that Miss was trapped in a brothel in Pingkangfang for no reason last night. What happened?"

Teng Yuyi lifted the curtain of the car, and seeing that Cheng Bo was sweating profusely, he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'll tell you in detail when I go back to the mansion, is there any news from the township's mansion?"

Cheng Bo is the most capable general under Grandpa's subordinates. The information he inquired about never goes wrong.

"There has been a lot of rumors in Chang'an, and it is rumored that the happy event between the lady and General Duan is coming." Cheng Bo said with a sullen face, "According to the old slave, the government of Zhenguo was worried about the news of that night, and deliberately released it everywhere. Rumor, if you can get married ahead of time, the matter of General Duan and Erniang Dong will naturally be ignored, I heard that when the old lady of the Duan residence has passed her birthday, the grandfather will come to the door to discuss the marriage with the old man."

Teng Yuyi sneered, it seemed that the Duan family deliberately wanted to harm Duan Ningyuan's future.

She thought about it. The last time at the door of Ziyun Tower, Duan Wenyin mentioned the old lady's birthday. After she came back, things happened one after another, and she almost forgot about it.

"Today, Mrs. Duan's birthday, how did I do the thing I explained?"

Cheng Bo took out a package from his arms: "Don't worry, the old slave has already arranged it properly."

Teng Yuyi took the bag of itch bugs with a smile, and handed the package hidden in the car to Uncle Cheng: "This package contains medicinal powder, take it to the prison for Dong Erniang, remember not to leave traces, especially don't call Duan Ning Yuan noticed it."

Cheng Bo hesitated, why should he detoxify if he wanted to poison it? But thinking that Miss Lai had her reasons, she took over the package of medicinal powder.

"Okay." Uncle Cheng took out a post, "This is a post sent by Duan Mansion a few days ago. Tonight, in addition to inviting the lady, I also invited Master Du's family. The old slave has prepared a birthday gift for Mrs. Duan.

Teng Yuyi smiled and nodded: "I have to pay a good birthday to the old lady of the Duan family tonight. Let's go to my aunt's house first."

In the blink of an eye, Huo Qiu got out of the car and knocked on the door. Cangtou Nu opened the door and saw Teng Yuyi, and said happily, "My lady came so early, did you have a good rest at home last night?"

Teng Yuyi nodded and walked in quickly. It seemed that her uncle and aunt had made arrangements ahead of time. Even the old servants of the Du residence kept the incident last night.

She pretended to tell Cheng Bo: "carry in what I brought from home."

Cheng Bo and Huoqiu replied, "Yes."

In the central hall, Du Shaotang was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he looked up and saw Teng Yuyi, he ran over and whispered, "Cousin Yu, you're finally back, my mother and father are going crazy."

Teng Yuyi secretly hated, if Lin Chengyou didn't let her go back to the mansion, why would she worry her uncle and aunt all night.

Du Shaotang asked repeatedly: "Cousin Yu, did you really go to Caifeng Tower last night? When Prince Cheng sent a letter to someone, we only thought that person was lying, but that person was a follower of Prince Cheng's mansion, so no one could believe it. Prince Cheng said that you were drinking and having fun in Caifenglou, what happened?"

"I don't understand three sentences or two. Where are my uncle and aunt now?"

"In my sister's room, A-Niang asked me to wait outside and said I would take you to see them when I saw you."

The two rushed to the backyard, Du Yuzhi and Mrs. Du were in a hurry in the room, Du Tinglan was standing under the porch, looking out with a worried expression.

Du Shaotang ran over first: "Cousin Yu is here."

Du Tinglan ran down the steps in three steps, and Mrs. Du came out to greet her: "Just come."

Several people entered the room together. Du Shaotang, who was in the room, caught sight of the long beard on Teng Yuyi's face, and was shocked: "Why are you pretending to be a man? What kind of decency is this!"

Mrs. Du was also very anxious: "You child... what happened last night."

Teng Yuyi took the sugarcane pulp handed by her cousin and drank it, sighing, "Don't worry, uncle and aunt, it happened suddenly last night."

As he spoke, he took out the jade sword: "I got this sword by accident on the way to Chang'an. I heard that it is a Taoist treasure and can exorcise evil spirits. In the past six months, I have often encountered evil spirits, and I can't sleep well at night. You are all gone, auntie, last time you were in Ziyunlou, you have seen this sword well-connected."

Mrs. Du nodded in surprise: "I wanted to ask you about the origin of this sword for a long time, but I have been busy these days, so I forgot to ask."

Teng Yuyi said: "I don't know why that day, the sword suddenly lost its spiritual power. I went to Dongming Temple to inquire. The Taoist priest in the temple said that only the Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple can help this sword restore its spiritual power..."

In one breath, I said what happened last night, of course, in order not to worry my uncle and aunt, there must be some additions to the words.

"If my uncle doesn't believe it, go to Pingkangfang and find out that Prince Cheng's son should still be in Caifeng Tower, and those officials probably haven't left."

Du Yuzhi stroked his beard frequently: "Since that's the case, you should always say hello to your uncle and aunt before you leave."

Teng Yuyi said confidently: "I haven't been back to Chang'an for a long time. I really wanted to go out for a walk. I thought I would go back when I went, but I never thought of encountering such a thing."

Du Shaotang timidly interjected: "Grandpa, you can't blame Cousin Yu for this. Grandpa also knows the temperament of the prince. If he wants to do something, he can't control that much."

Du Tinglan saw her father's expression softened, and curiously picked up the jade sword: "How is it, have you unlocked the curse?"

"It's solved." Teng Yuyi stroked Cuibi's sword, "If I encounter evil spirits again in the future, I will chop a monster in front of my cousin and show it to my cousin."

Du Tinglan was startled: "It's not necessary. Before you can kill the monster, my sister will faint. Besides, if you are safe and sound in the future, how will you encounter any evil spirits again."

Du Shaotang squeezed over and asked, "Cousin Yu, is there really a monster in Caifenglou? Did you see it at the time, what does the monster look like?"

Du Yu knew that he was arrogant and dignified, but he still refused to talk. He just watched the lively talk of his wife and children, and he couldn't help but paced over. He took Du Tinglan's hand and looked at the jade sword curiously.

Mrs. Du took the opportunity to say to Teng Yu: "After a busy night, you still have a beard stuck on your face, go take a shower and change your clothes, and have a good night's sleep after breakfast."

When Teng Yuyi came out of the shower, Du Yu knew that his father and son had already returned to the front yard. Mrs. Du was busy arranging lunch, and only Du Tinglan was waiting for her in the house.

Du Tinglan said softly: "Don't look at Grandpa's fierce and swearing scolding. He went out to find you several times last night. After returning to the house, he persuaded Grandma to rest. He waited for news outside, and then he let go after hearing that you were all right. Heart."

Teng Yuyi sighed: "Actually, how can I feel at ease? I finally got out of Caifenglou in the morning and rushed home without stopping."

Du Tinglan was distressed and pushed Teng Yuyi: "You can't even open your eyes, go to bed. By the way, I heard that Mrs. Duan's birthday, the Duke of Zhenguo sent us a message."

Teng Yuyi looked at Du Tinglan and said, "Does your sister know?"

"Auntie told me what happened that night. I never imagined that Duan was so despicable."

Teng Yuyi crawled into bed slowly, her cousin was kind and gentle, and she never blushes with anyone in the past, but the first time she scolded someone sharply, it was Duan Ningyuan who was actually scolding.

"No one can let you suffer such grievances." Du Tinglan covered Teng Yuyi's quilt, "It's a good thing for such a hypocrite to see his true colors early, this marriage is bound to be revoked, but fortunately, my uncle will be returning to Chang'an in the next two days. The sooner the matter is resolved, the better. Tonight, the old lady Duan's birthday banquet, A-Niang and I will accompany you."

As he said, he folded Teng Yuyi's hair, got up and said, "If you have anything to say, wait until you wake up. Sister, go out first, and you can take a good rest."

Teng Yuyi put one arm under her cheek and watched her cousin walking around the room.

Du Tinglan put down the curtains in front of the bed and walked quietly to the window, fearing that the maid and mother-in-law in the yard would make a noise, she closed the drawer before leaving.

The room was quiet and dim, Teng Yuyi's sleepiness surged up, and just as he closed his eyes, a small voice suddenly came from his ear: "Hello."

Teng Yuyi jumped up abruptly, opened the curtain and looked around, there was no half-person figure in the room.

The voice came from behind again: "Don't look for it, I'm here."

Teng Yuyi lost her soul and fell off the bed carefully. She turned her head in shock and saw a little old man about two inches tall sitting on the bed.

This old man has a bright head and a pale face. He is dressed in gray linen and short brown. Although he is old, his cheeks are rosy and shiny. There are three strands of silver-white beard hanging on his chin. His expression was also slightly mean.

The old man leaned against the pillow with Erlang's legs crossed, and there was a word "lazy" all over his body.

Teng Yuyi was quite surprised. She had never seen a little man the size of a slap, where did it come from, and there were so many talismans from the Holy Sage hidden in her clothes, which were useless.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and she got up and ran to the door. The jade sword was hidden under her pillow, and she knew it should be held in her arms.

"Are you looking for it?" The little old man jumped up, pulled open the pillow, and dragged the jade sword out from under the pillow.

Teng Yuyi suddenly felt a little desperate, the little old man was not afraid of this sword.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" She tried to calm herself down, "I advise you not to use this sword, it can even deal with monsters that have been practicing for hundreds of years. A little thing like you may be attacked at any time. It was crushed to ashes."

The little old man smiled on his hips: "Baby girl, I like how you talk nonsense with your eyes open. You are so smart, can't you guess who I am?"

"I can't guess, and I don't want to guess." Teng Yuyi quickly retreated to the door, "The sun is shining outside, if you're not afraid of losing your mind, just chase it out."

As he turned around to open the door, the little old man stomped his feet and said, "Stupid thing, this old man is the spirit of this sword!"

Artifact? Teng Yuyi was dubious. When he rejected the Jade Sword that Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi wanted to deceive her last time, he told her a lot about the spirits. .

"Don't you believe it?" The little old man rolled up his sleeves and jumped on the sword, muttering words, and soon disappeared into the sword.

After a while, the body of the sword was reddish, and the little old man came out again.

Teng Yuyi was startled, if the old man was an evil thing, how could it be integrated with Taoist instruments?

The old man patted the jade sword: "This time you should believe it."

Teng Yuyi paused suspiciously: "Are you really an artifact?"

"I'm really! I'm really!" The old man stomped his feet irritably, "If you hadn't saved a calamity for me, I wouldn't have come out to see you without honor."

Teng Yuyi opened her mouth, because she was so surprised that she didn't know whether to leave or stay.

The old man snorted: "Why don't you speak, don't you have anything to ask?"

Teng Yuyi said, "I, you—"

She calmed down and asked, "This... Uncle Sword Immortal, what do you mean when you say I saved you a disaster?"

"What Uncle Sword Immortal?" The little old man sat down with his legs crossed, "If the old man has a name, you can call me Xiaoya."

"Xiaoya?" Teng Yuyi showed a strange look.

The little old man was unhappy: "Have you never heard of 'My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit'? I don't dare to call it 'Wu Ya', it's not an exaggeration to say 'Xiao Ya'. My name is Xiao Ya Jian, this But the name given by my first master, Venerable Qing Lian, since you and I are meeting for the first time, we should be called by our big names."

Teng Yuyi frowned and raised his hand: "Wait a minute, I have to take care of it. This sword was acquired by chance on my way to Chang'an. It has been with me for many days, why have I never seen you show up?"

Xiao Ya stroked his beard and said, "Although I fell into your hands, I am still trapped in the sword body. Whether it can be used by you depends on your own good fortune. A few days ago, you met that little devil surnamed Lin. , I was casted by him with the evil spirit ring. This is the first calamity I encountered in my rebirth. You can only really release me if you help me unravel this curse. If you don't have that
