Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 58

[Chapter 38 (3)]

The concubine died more than a year ago. He changed his words

: “Sir, you shouldn’t be suspicious—”

“No matter who this formation is going to deal with, it won’t be Yao Huang and Qingzhi anyway. “Lin Chengyou looked up and jumped up the beam,” and Daoist Jianxi guessed right. Judging from the murderer’s method of killing Qingzhi, it should be the same person who led the way Yin by Shi Qimang. No less than the Yao and Huang sisters, they also hated a certain deceased earlier. Seeing

the sky was extremely surprised: “Caifeng Building only opened six months ago, but the Caibo store in front has been closed for a year, and the shop further ahead has no intersection with Caifeng Building. Who is that person hating?” ? ”

Lin Chengyou’s voice vibrated on the beam: “If you don’t ask, you’ll know.” ”

Wu Dao looked at each other: “Ask? Who to ask?

Lin Chengyou jumped down and clapped the dust on his hands: “Didn’t the murderer already tell us a good way? ” Everyone

was puzzled, but Teng Yuyi looked at the blanket thoughtfully. Lin Chengyou could not be…

At this moment, the yamen outside came to him: “Sir, Commander Chang is here. ”

“So soon?” “Lin Chengyou stood up and went out to meet him, only to hear steady footsteps, and Chang Rong burrowed in.

His shoulders were covered with fine silver rain threads, he was holding a colored bamboo scorpion in his right hand, and a big bag in his left hand.

” Uncle Chang. Chang Rong first looked at Lin Chengyou, and saw that the

little master was unscathed, and seemed relieved, then looked around, bowed and saluted Wudao, and when his eyes swept over Teng Yuyi, he was obviously stunned

. She moved to hide behind Cheng Bo. She was wearing men’s clothes and had a big beard on her face. It was difficult to be recognized at a glance, but this commander Chang used to fight corpse evil with her, so it is better to be cautious.

Fortunately, Chang Rong quickly looked away: “I was afraid of delaying Dalang’s affairs, so I rushed over here. Fortunately, Shengyefang is not far from Pingkangfang, and there was no delay on the road. Dalang, you are not in the house these days. , the palace has sent people to see it a few times, and if you have time, go to the palace to see the saint and the queen.”

Lin Chengyou replied with a smile: “Has Azhi sent a message?”

“Yes, the little princess will be there every two days. When I urged my brother to enter the palace, I replied that my brother was on an errand, and I would go to the palace to pick her up when I had time. The little princess sent this thing out and told my brother to put it on immediately.”

Chang Rong said, Unpacking the bag in his hand, a neat stack of changing clothes was exposed, but a small colorful object was placed on top.

Lin Chengyou picked up the thing: “Longevity thread? Did Azhi make it? Why did you do this before the Dragon Boat Festival?”

Chang Rong smiled amiably: “The little princess said that this is her first time to make a longevity thread. Baba sent it out, expecting her brother to praise her, and said that it would be better for her to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and tied the longevity thread on his wrist: “Got it.”

Chang Rong handed the bamboo scorpion to him Lin Chengyou, after confirming that he had taken things correctly, was about to leave. When he reached the door, he glanced at Teng Yuyi again, but Teng Yuyi had already turned his back and practiced swordsmanship.

It was only after Chang Rong went out that she remembered that this was the little lady who swung her sword to repel the corpse last time. He would never forget how thrilling it was in the flower hall that night. Thanks to this little lady, he managed to keep the corpse out of the door several times.

Strange, why did Mrs. Teng stay in the brothel, the daughter of a famous general. Dalang said that he was going to deal with the corpse in Caifeng Tower recently. Wouldn’t Mrs. Teng take refuge here? As he walked and thought about it, he suddenly remembered that a nanny came to tell him last time that Dalang had stopped Mrs. Teng from talking in the plum blossom forest in the mansion.

When the two things were combined, Chang Rong was immediately mixed. Dalang is eighteen this year, and he doesn’t even have a little lady he likes. If Dalang and General Teng’s daughter get along well, does it mean that the Heartless Gu is showing signs of loosening.

Do you want to write letters to the prince and princess overnight? No, it’s too hasty, wait a few more days, the young man’s affection can’t be hidden, if Dalang likes Mrs. Teng, it will definitely be revealed in a short time, if there is no movement, it proves that he is just thinking too much.

Here Lin Chengyou opened the bamboo hut, took out a few strangely shaped silver nails inside, and placed them in turn from the entrance of the Buddhist hall to the incense table, deliberately placed crookedly, like a messy corridor.

Then he took out a red rope, stretched both hands to test the toughness, then took out seven small bowls and placed them in a circle, and poured the sesame oil into the bowls.

Although Teng Yuyi didn’t understand all these twists and turns, she had already guessed what Lin Chengyou was going to do. The murderer had not revealed any flaws. In her opinion, this was a good way, and using this to deal with the murderer could be regarded as a human way. He also healed his body.

Wu Dao was still at a loss, but when he saw the seven small bowls, he suddenly woke up: “Sir, are you going to set up seven lights to guide the road?”

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi anxiously said: “Senior brother, it is absolutely impossible, this is a Sorcery.” ” Pedantism

.” Lin Chengyou blew out the candle in his hand, “When magic is used to harm people, of course it is called sorcery, but if it is used to save people, why is there evil?”

Zhi scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks: “But, but…”

Lin Chengyou clapped the ashes on his hands, turned around and said to the two yamen, “I can’t be disturbed by others while I’m doing this practice, and I’ll invite a few Taoist priests and princes and servants to the west side. ”

Teng Yuyi had already practiced the eleventh trick at this time. Because he was afraid of affecting the progress, he had been preventing Lin Chengyou from kicking them out. I didn’t know that he agreed to keep everyone in the small Buddhist hall. This is strange. The murderer can do sorcery. Wudao can’t rule out suspicion, Lin Chengyou didn’t guard against them, does that mean that Wudao is no longer suspected?

In the next instant, she saw two yamen standing in front of the crowd, and she suddenly understood: If you intend to make trouble, you can also take advantage of the chaos outside. In addition to the two yamen, there are Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom Gang Lin Chengyou guarding the formation.

The group retreated to the west side of the Small Buddha Hall. After they were settled, Jianxi and Jianle continued to instruct Teng Yuyi.

Lin Chengyou squatted in front of the felt blanket, cut the candle into several pieces with a knife, and then moved the branding on the felt blanket to carve the wax block into rougher fake “golden mang marks”.

Seeing that Tian Tian was relatively idle, while wiping away his sweat, he excitedly watched Lin Chengyou’s formation: “Sir, it’s not the old man who wants to pour cold water,

I heard that this formation must first know the birthday of the deceased, you don’t even know who the murderer is going to deal with. I know, where can I go to inquire about the birthday of the deceased? If you don’t know the time, you won’t even be able to get a half of the soul.”

Jue Sheng just wrote the time of the three people on the talisman, and after hearing this, the talisman in his hand stood upright: ” Senior brother has already inquired about the birth dates of the Tian couple and the Rong family, you see.”

Lin Chengyou glanced at him: “What to do, work.” The

holy sage sent the three talismans to Lin Chengyou’s hands, Lin Chengyou Dip a bit of cinnabar with a fake golden awn seal, press the vermilion seal on the three talismans respectively, then cut the talismans out of the shape of villains, and place the three villains in front of the incense table.

Jian Xian smiled and said, “But it’s useless to know the time of these three people. I don’t believe that except for the five deceased in Caibohang and Caifenglou, no one has died here before. It can’t be because Yao Huang and Qingzhi are excluded. Let’s conclude that it has something to do with the three people from Caiboxing.”

Qizhi couldn’t hide the worry in his eyes: “Yeah, senior brother, if it wasn’t the three of them, wouldn’t you take a risk in vain? However, any sorcery that goes against the sky and goes against the law has hidden dangers, if you hurt yourself—”

Lin Chengyou glanced at Wudao, raised his hand and touched Qizhi’s head: “Senior brother, you and Juesheng are dedicated to helping you. Just guard the formation, you guard the gate with a lock of souls, and the prostitutes keep their feet in their rooms, and there are yamen guards who are not afraid of them running out, you not only guard against troubles outside, but also guard against the inside of the palace.”

Qizhi nodded, Lin Chengyou got up and walked to the west side, sticking the two talismans on the backs of the two yamen, instructing the yamen to stand with their backs facing the formation, and don’t look back no matter what they hear later. In this way, you can keep an eye on the actions of the Dao, and you will not be scared to run away because of what you see.

After everything was arranged, the hall quickly became quiet, Wu Dao stopped making noise, and looked at the hall intently. Teng Yuyi put away his sword and sat cross-legged in the corner.

Lin Chengyou sat in the formation with his robe up, took out the red rope, tied one end to his middle finger, and tied the other end to a candle-carved golden glow. After finishing, he threw the red rope out the door.

Then the left hand was placed on the right arm, and the tip of the right finger ignited a talisman. With a flick of the finger, the spark shot to the outermost oil lamp.

I saw the flames flickering, and a small circle of flames faintly swayed from the lamp. It was strange that the fireworks showed a green light, casting a strange color on everything in the Buddhist hall.

Then came the second and third lights…

The more the lights were on, the darker the hall became. The faint green light surrounded Lin Chengyou, giving rise to the illusion of a ghostly underworld.

Teng Yuyi was Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu, but she still didn’t dare to come out. She took Xiaoyajian out of her sleeve on guard and stared at the door for a moment.

There was obviously no wind in the hall, but there was an invisible airflow surging in the dark. The three little figures in front of the incense table rustled, as if something was lying on the ground and blowing at them.

Lin Chengyou closed his eyes and recited the mantra for a while, then suddenly shook the red rope and shouted: “Get up.” The

three little figures fell to the ground, but suddenly two stood up silently, and the red rope on Lin Chengyou’s middle finger suddenly Stretched, obviously there is a heavy object on the other end.

Unconsciously, a layer of sweat appeared on Teng Yuyi’s back, and the light in the oil lamp flickered.

The gloomy wind is gradually rising, the branches and leaves are swirling at the door, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain, and there is a small sneaking sound approaching.

Lin Chengyou tugged on the red rope, and calmly competed with the opponent, whimpering loudly and lowly, and the strange force also increased. Although the Qimang Guiding Road Seal was forcibly activated, Lin Chengyou was not familiar with this formation, and he was completely drawn by the gourd.

It stands to reason that as long as the formation method is activated, the dead soul will be bound by the red rope, but his formation may be a little bit meaningless. The ghost is invited, but it cannot be dragged in.

“It’s all here, why don’t you come in and sit?” After fighting with the opponent for a while, the sweat on Lin Chengyou’s temples was dripping down, because he didn’t dare to relax, the words were almost squeezed out of the teeth, ” Do you think I look like a bad guy? Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you.” The

other party seemed to tremble, and the red rope became a little looser. Lin Chengyou didn’t want to miss this opportunity and pulled the other party in.

The green flames in the oil lamp were all short, and coldness rushed towards her face. Teng Yuyi saw the scene in front of her clearly, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

The red rope came in, but the end was shaking desperately in mid-air, looking like it was tying up two invisible people who were trying to break free from the red rope.

Lin Chengyou struggled to hold on to the red rope: “I have no grievances with you in the past and no enmity in the past, and I did not recruit you to harm you. I know that you have suffered a lot from that person. If you don’t want to suffer any more, don’t bother struggling any more. It’s gone.”

The end of the rope suddenly stopped in mid-air, but it was still shaking slightly, as if people were trembling because of fear, but there was nowhere to hide.

Lin Chengyou softened a bit, slowly tightening the rope while staring at the ghost in front of him: “I want to help you, so I want to ask you something, I can neither see you nor hear you now, I’ll throw something on you later, it’s harmless to you, but it can draw out your appearance and voice.” The

rope trembled in mid-air, but obviously no longer resisted, Lin Chengyou pulled the other party Going to the front, he raised his hand and scattered the gray powder in his hand.

The rope was messed up a bit, but it didn’t hide very far, and the powder splattered down, outlining two vague shadows.

Teng Yuyi’s ears suddenly sounded messy breathing, obviously Wudao was also nervous.

The shadow became clearer and clearer, it turned out to be a man and a woman. The ghost in front was tall and sturdy, but behind it was a plump woman, but the outlines of the two were too blurred to see their faces clearly.

Lin Chengyou quickly sprinkled out the second powder of the soul, and now the outline was finally clear, but he could barely see his figure and face, but his eyebrows and eyes were absolutely invisible.

Perhaps it was because of the Sprinkling of Soul Revealing Powder that the two ghosts finally made a sound. , stimulates the hearts and souls of the people.

Teng Yuyi only felt that the sound could scratch the flesh in his heart, and after listening for a while, he had a splitting headache. Although he was curious about what the two ghosts wanted to say next, he could only cover his ears temporarily.

Lin Chengyou calmly looked at the taller ghost: “Tian Yunde?” The

screaming stopped abruptly, and the male ghost shook.

“It seems so.” Lin Chengyou smiled and looked at the female ghost instead, “Miss Rong?” The

female ghost seemed to have a thunder in her throat, and she struggled as she roared. anger.

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “I’m sorry, it turned out to be Mrs. Tian.”

Only then did the female ghost calm down.

Teng Yuyi was stunned. It was actually the Tian family from Caibohang. The murderer was from Caifenglou, but it had been a year since the two of them had passed away. How much hatred did the murderer harbor towards them? The souls of the dead come to torture.

Well, it doesn’t seem right. Lin Chengyou clearly wrote the birthdays of three people, but only attracted the dead souls of two people. What about the concubine Rong? Mr. Rong jumped into the well in the backyard, so he should have been recruited by the formation.

“I’ll make a long story short.” Lin Chengyou went straight in, “that person detained your soul here in order to use this sorcery to harm you. If you don’t find this person, you will never try to escape. Tell me who that person is. , why do you treat you like this?” The

male ghost and the female ghost stopped abruptly, and the two seemed to be extremely frightened, first they turned around in their hearts like headless flies, and then hugged tightly.

Lin Chengyou said patiently: “Don’t be afraid, no matter how the person tortured you before, as long as you say who that person is tonight, I can guarantee that there will be no such thing in the future.” The

male ghost and the female ghost were quiet After a few minutes, he suddenly raised his arm and pointed at the position of his mouth.

Lin Chengyou’s complexion changed: “You can’t speak?” The

male ghost whimpered, and the female ghost roared irritably, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could only make a vague and strange sound in the end.

Lin Chengyou was shocked and angry: “That person dig your tongue?” The

two ghosts raised their arms to their chests while wailing, motioning for Lin Chengyou to take a look.

Lin Chengyou seemed to be stunned for a moment, Teng Yuyi was a little farther away, and after taking a closer look, a strong sense of discomfort swelled in his chest.

I saw that the ends of the Tian’s and his wife’s arms were empty, and their hands had been chopped off by Qi Gan.

Lin Chengyou looked strange, the punishment in the realm tortured the flesh of the living, and the seven lights led the road to torture but the soul of the dead. If you pull out your tongue, you can’t speak, and if you cut off your hands, you can’t write. Born as a disabled child.

This man is really cruel.

He nodded slowly: “Although I can’t speak, at least you can understand what I am saying. Next, I will ask you a question and answer it. If you are right, you will nod your head. If you are wrong, you will shake your head.”

Ergui nodded slightly . , indicating that you understand.

“Is the person who harmed you in Caifeng Tower at the moment?”

Tian Yunde and Mrs. Tian nodded in unison.

“In the small Buddhist hall?”

This time he shook his head.

“How many pictures does this person’s surname have? One picture? Two pictures?”

When it came to “twelve pictures”, Er Gui had a strong reaction.

Lin Chengyou’s expression froze: “Twelve paintings? (Note 2)” The

two ghosts nodded desperately.

Teng Yuyi quickly searched it in her mind, but there were so many people in Caifenglou that she couldn’t remember whose surname was Twelve Paintings.

Lin Chengyou regretted that he did not bring a roster of the people in the building, and the Tian family couldn’t utter a word. There is a testimonial written down in the afternoon. Although the list is incomplete, the murderer may be among them.

He was holding the red rope firmly with his right hand, while his left hand was busy kneading the tactic, neither of which was free, so he had no choice but to rush to the sage: “I have a roster in my arms, quickly take it out and let Mrs. Tian identify who it is.”

Juesheng wiped his hand Cold sweat ran close, knowing that the oil lamp and silver nails must not be touched, so he lowered his body and used his saber to carefully probe into Lin Chengyou’s front placket.

Lin Chengyou glanced at Jue Sheng and signaled him not to worry.

The Absolute Saint nodded, but luckily met this time, he calmed down and gently pulled the booklet out.

Lin Chengyou took advantage of this time to continue to ask: “That person is trying to avenge Rong’s family?”

Tian Yunde seemed to be stunned, but Mrs. Tian roared bitterly. Although the responses were different, the two finally shook their heads in unison.

Lin Chengyou’s expression almost split, isn’t it for the Rong family? .

Before he started the battle, he wrote down the birthdays of three people in total, but only two deceased souls were arrested. From this point of view, Rong’s deceased souls had already been reincarnated, and that person never thought of dealing with Rong’s.

In fact, since he discovered that the murder of Caifenglou was inextricably linked with Caibohang, he had wondered whether the murderer was trying to avenge the Rong family. After all, the Rong family suffered a lot after marrying Tian Yunde. Whether Jing was self-seeking or was murdered by Qi is still a mystery. And tonight, after discovering that the detained soul was the Tian couple, he was even more certain of his guess.

Unexpectedly, when the arrest came to ask, that person was not for the Rong family.

Could it be that the Tian family has also done other depraved things?

“How did you have a feud with that person?”

Tian Yunde’s body was shocked, and Qi Shi seemed to be greatly stimulated.

“Have you hurt him/her?”

This time the reaction was even bigger, and even Tian Yunde’s ghost began to shake.

Lin Chengyou glanced at the oil lamp, the two ghosts have been tortured for so long, their spirits are long gone, not to mention normal communication, a little stimulation will make you panic, I just hate that the oil lamp won’t last long, once the light goes out, the two ghosts will inevitably break free from the formation and escape .

He turned his head to look at the Absolute Saint. Fortunately, he had become a little calmer in the past few times of the Absolute Saint experience. He successfully obtained the booklet, and then unfolded it and held it in front of the two ghosts.

Lin Chengyou said to Tian Yunde, “If that person’s name is on the roster, point it out to the little Taoist priest.” As if he had

n’t heard of it, Qi shi still scurried around like a headless fly holding his head.

Tian Yunde turned to Jue Sage tremblingly, and saw something at a glance. The figure was so frightened that he leaned back, and his broken wrist suddenly pointed to a certain place in the book.

The author has something to say: The analysis of the hexagram here comes from the Book of Changes.

2 Considering that the murderer has already appeared before, and the current habits are all simplified characters, the strokes of the murderer’s surname are also calculated according to the strokes of simplified characters.
