Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 88

[Chapter 58]

Teng Shao picked up the portrait and slowly paced under the lamp.

Teng Yuyi put down the pen and suddenly asked, “Grandpa, do you know Taoism?”

Teng Shao was startled: “Why do you ask this all of a sudden?”

“Grandpa just need to tell me if I can, I want to inquire about a few things about Taoism.

Teng Shao said warmly, “Of course Grandpa doesn’t know how to do Taoism.” Teng

Yuyi thought to himself, Grandpa didn’t look like he was doing anything, so who helped her use this sorcery? Ever since Xiaoya learned about her origins, she has thought about all the relatives around her, and felt that no one would be able to do such evil Taoism. The adventure is also unknown.

But it doesn’t look like Grandpa did it.

“I often hear people say that all those who survive in a catastrophe will be infected with some yin and evil energy because of their passing in the underworld, and I will suddenly be able to have strange dreams of predicting future events, which should be related to this. It is not surprising that she has an evil spirit , so it is not surprising that she will attract evil spirits.”

These words explained why she always encountered evil spirits.

“So as I see it, we don’t need to go to the Abbot Yuanjue. These strange dreams are strange. If the abbot Yuanjue sees something, it may not be a good thing. The origin of the man in black is a mystery. Before my identity, I don’t want to leak the slightest rumor in front of outsiders, not even the eminent monks of Dayin Temple.”

Teng Shao pondered, this worry is not unreasonable, but the daughter has encountered too many evil spirits recently, being a father How can I just sit back and ignore it.

Teng Yuyi added: “Besides, my daughter said just now that Prince Cheng was annoyed by the bell last night, so he deliberately set up a formation inside and outside the mansion. Hu, why should we go to the abbot Yuanjue again? One more person who knows that there is something wrong with his daughter means more risk. Besides, if there are any rumors that are unfavorable for his daughter in Beijing——

Teng Shao didn’t care about these things. He only cared about his daughter’s safety. It would be okay if her daughter’s condition improved in a few days. If he still encountered sneaky people frequently, he would take his daughter to visit Dayin Temple at the risk.

He quickly made up his mind: “It’s okay to let it go in advance, but this year there are important things to be prepared for in Beijing, and Abbot Yuanjue may one day suddenly retreat. At that time, we may not be able to see Abbot Yuanjue. If it doesn’t work, grandpa has to take you to the Dayin Temple as soon as possible.”

Teng Yuyi was stunned: “There is something to be prepared for in Beijing? Why do you say this?

” Not even many ministers in the court, if he hadn’t returned to Beijing to be the general of Zuo Wuwei for a few years when he was young, he wouldn’t have accidentally learned this secret of the royal family.

He recalled the strange dream that his daughter said, and knew that there was one thing that must be confirmed as soon as possible.

“Tell Grandpa first, you dreamed that Peng Zhen would rebel, but when did you dream that he would start the army?”

Teng Yuyi calculated: “About the middle of this year, there will be a move, and the official decree of the imperial court will be the second of next year. It’s the beginning of the month.”

Teng Shao’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Why did Grandpa ask this?”

Teng Shao nodded slowly: “It seems that Peng Zhen has calculated the time to rebel. If he rebels this year, it will be just in time for the saint to be healed. The saint is unable to take care of political affairs when he is sick. The odds of raising an army are even better.”

Teng Yuyi was taken aback, she had never heard of a saint who was afflicted with a secret disease.

“What disease did the sage have?”

Teng Shao’s expression changed unpredictably, and he walked to the table and sat down: “I remember that my grandfather told you last time that the sage grew up in Qingyun Temple before he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestry. ”

Remember.”

Teng Shao: “The sage’s biological mother, Concubine Hui, was the concubine of the late emperor. She was very favored by the emperor during her lifetime. When Concubine Hui was pregnant with the sage, the late emperor had not yet ascended the throne. When she learned that Concubine Hui was pregnant, the late emperor immediately requested the decree to designate the saint as the future heir of the palace. , this incident aroused the jealousy of Concubine Yi, another concubine of the late emperor. At that time, Concubine Yi was also pregnant. In order to maintain her favor, she joined the same eunuch and spent countless efforts to set up a harmful situation.

“Concubine Hui gave birth . At the same time, he was framed by Concubine Yi and died of dystocia, and the newly born sage was taken out of the palace by Concubine Yi’s people. When he was about to be killed and buried, Daochang Qingxuzi came and bumped into him. Daochang Qingxuzi was originally Concubine Hui’s old friend. He immediately hid his true face and tried to save the saint. After saving the saint, Qingxuzi was afraid of being chased by Concubine Yi’s people. Killed, so he kept his name incognito, and took the saint to seclusion in Qingyun Temple.

“The Taoist priest Qingxuzi named the saint ‘Ahan’, taught the sage Taoism, and raised the saint with heart. Princess Cheng is another apprentice of the Taoist priest Qingxuzi. She grew up in Qingyun Temple since she was a child, and she is brother-in-law with the saint.

“Yi When the concubine learned that someone had rescued Concubine Hui’s child, she used the birth dates of the concubine Hui and the saint to create an extremely sinister ‘seven evil lock infant formation’, using the grievances of Concubine Hui after her unjust death to suppress the saint’s death. Linggen, for this reason, no matter what Taoist Master Qingxuzi taught, the minds of sages are much more stupid than ordinary people. ”

Teng Yuyi was shocked and used her mother to restrain her son? Not to mention that what happened to Concubine Hui’s mother and son was too tragic, what kind of heart does Concubine Yi have to come up with such a vicious situation.

“This matter did not appear until 18 years later. Turnaround. That year, Daoist Master Qingxuzi, Abbot Yuanjue, and Wang Cheng and his wife finally worked together to find Concubine Yi’s eyes. They transformed the ghost of Concubine Hui, who had escaped into the devil’s way, and found out that Concubine Yi had murdered Concubine Hui’s mother and son. the truth.

“The late emperor hated Concubine Yi so much that he not only killed Concubine Yi on the spot, but also abolished a group of Concubine Yi’s children. He also learned that Concubine Hui had strayed into the devil’s way because of the mutilation of the formation, and even if he succeeded in transmigrating, he would not be able to reincarnate. Just ask Qing Xuzi to start the formation and exchange the fate of Concubine Hui with Concubine Yi’s fate, so that Concubine Yi will never be reincarnated, while Concubine Hui can be reincarnated smoothly.”

Teng Yuyi was even more astonished. It turned out that as early as 18 years ago, someone in Chang’an used the so-called “change of life to borrow life” technique, and the person who presided over the life-changing formation at that time was Daoist Qing Xuzi.

According to this, will Qingyunguan hide the secret book containing the “life-changing technique”?

“The saint was mutilated by the Qisha Locking Infant Formation for 18 years. Although the formation method can restore his intelligence, the residual evil spirit in his body will flare up every few years. Fortunately, although Concubine Hui has become a demon, She recognized that Ahan in front of her was her son. Before she was transformed, she took the initiative to sacrifice her own lock spirit card. She was a ‘demon’ in the eye, and the demon was willing to offer the lock spirit card, which meant that the Qisha lock The infant formation is no longer a formation of ‘harming children’, but a formation of ‘protecting children’.

“The lock spirit card is divided into two parts, one is submerged in the body of the saint, and the other is submerged in the body of Cheng Wang Linxiao, who was present at the time. With these two spirit locks protecting each other, even if the evil spirit in the saint’s body erupts once every three years, it will not damage the saint’s sanity. As long as the lock spirit cards are combined into one when the formation is launched, the evil spirit will be calmed down immediately. ”

If another Spirit Locking Card is in King Cheng’s body…” Teng Yu said with measure, “That is to say, every time the formation is activated to detoxify the saint, does King Cheng need to be present?” ”

“Yes. “Teng Shao said, “Sages can’t live without another piece of Soul Locking card in this life. As long as the time passes and the formation is not in line, the evil spirit will endanger the sanity of the saint, and it is inevitable that other people will have bad thoughts. Never slack off, thanks to their dedicated support over the years, the saints are always in good health. Teng Yuyi was secretly startled. No

wonder Lin Chengyou’s nobleness is beyond the reach of any of Chang’an’s sons and daughters. It turns out that there is such a deep bond between the sage and the king and his wife.

“So Yuer, you should know why the sage He and the Queen love the three brothers and sisters Lin Chengyou so much. In addition to a natural bond of flesh and blood, there is also gratitude and repayment to the sister and sister who have been protecting each other over the years. ”

Teng Yuyi nodded, picked up the already cold tea cup in his hand, and took a sip of tea to suppress his shock.

Teng Shao added: “This matter should not have been leaked, but when Daoist Master Qingxuzi and Abbot Yuanjue crossed Concubine Huahui, there were many ministers present, even if the court kept silent about it, there was still a little bit of rumors leaked after the event. It’s time to start the battle again this year. It’s still a mystery when the sage attacked, but no matter what, the Cheng Wang couple will definitely rush back to Chang’an before that. When the king and the sage form a battle, the sage will no longer be able to command the fight against the rebellion, so Peng Zhen’s chances of winning will be much higher.”

Teng Yu thought for a while, thinking that Peng Zhen had been planning for this for many years, so in his previous life Chang’an would suddenly There are so many rebels with sorcery skills. Fortunately, she has already informed Grandpa about it, so Grandpa will not be unprepared.

In addition, she also remembered that the saint in the previous life was not only in good health, but also personally commanded the campaign to suppress the rebellion. It can be seen that Peng Zhen’s tricks failed in the end.

She was about to speak when a scene suddenly flashed in front of her.

That time, because Lin Chengyou sealed her Xiaoya sword, she had a very deep nightmare. In the dream, she not only experienced all kinds of things before her death, but also dreamed about what happened three years after her death.

I remember her wandering spirit wandering in Grandpa’s sacrificial temple, and she saw many eunuchs who came to clean up. While the eunuchs were chatting, someone suddenly ran in to report that Lin Chengyou accidentally confronted Tubo in Kunfang Mansion. He was shot by a secret arrow. Although Lin Chengyou caught him on the spot, the arrow was smeared with highly poisonous poison, and the poison soon broke out. Lin Chengyou knew that he would not survive, and told his subordinates not to tell Daoist Master Qingxuzi about this. .

As a result, the news reached Chang’an. King Cheng and Qing Xuzi were so anxious that they rushed to Kunfang overnight…

Thinking of this, Teng Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat. The old voice woke up.

She didn’t know what happened to Lin Chengyou later. She thought it was just a dream. After all, she had never experienced all this before, and she couldn’t figure out who would hate Lin Chengyou enough to take his life. But now that I think about it, will that scene in the temple herald anything?

According to the calculation of time, three years later, it will be the time when the sage is about to attack, and the location is in Kunfang, which is far away. In order to save Lin Chengyou, the Chengwang couple and the Taoist priest Qingxuzi are bound to leave Chang’an.

If Lin Chengyou has something wrong, Chengwang It’s hard to say whether He Qingxuzi can come to form in time. In this way, the evil spirit in the saint’s body will inevitably collide with the mind.

When the monarch falls, the court will be shaken.

She hurriedly told her grandfather about the dream.

“The imperial court has successfully put down the rebellion, Peng Zhen’s party has been wiped out, Shuo Fang’s army has successfully repelled the Tubo army, Lin Chengyou has successfully rescued the siege of Kunfang, and good news has been reported from all directions, but suddenly someone plotted against Lin Chengyou. , King Cheng and Taoist priest may not be able to come back.”

Teng Shao was really shocked.

“Could it be a fine work sent by the Tubo?” “I only vaguely heard in my dream that the fine work had been in Lin Chengyou’s army for a long time, and when the fine work was plotting against Lin Chengyou, it seemed that no one was prepared.”

Teng Shao’s heart stirred . Amidst the surging waves, a small soldier suddenly plotted against the head coach, and there must be someone behind the scenes.

After plotting against Lin Chengyou, it is logical to transfer King Cheng and Qing Xuzi from Chang’an.

This is indeed a three birds with one stone. If the daughter’s dream is true, then apart from Peng Zhen, there are very likely people in the DPRK who want to rebel.

Peng Zhen is in the light, and the man is in the dark.

Teng Shao pondered and paced back and forth. Even if he completely believed his daughter’s words at this moment, he still needed time to clear his mind.

“On King Cheng’s side, Grandpa will send someone to remind him immediately. King Cheng is a cautious person, and he will definitely take precautions when he knows it.” Teng Shao said.

Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief.

“As soon as King Cheng gets the news, the imperial court will also make preparations. But now I only know that Peng Zhen is against his will, and there is another person behind the scenes, Grandpa will start to investigate as soon as possible.”

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said, “That person quietly set up such a game, regardless of the city’s government and strategy, you will be admired, grandpa, you—”

“Grandpa knows.” Teng Shao looked at his daughter with relief, and unconsciously, The daughter’s head was almost on his shoulders. The father and daughter clearly talked about the sword, light and sword shadows in their dreams all night, but he, as a father, felt unprecedentedly at ease.

He rolled up the picture: “It’s getting late, go back to the room first. The things you said are very important. Let Grandpa think about it tonight.”

This conversation between the father and daughter lasted for two Shi Chen, when Teng Yuyi returned to his small courtyard, Shi Chen was almost late at night.

The strange thing is that Teng Yuyi doesn’t feel tired at all, and the secrets in her heart have a place to go. Grandpa’s firm eyes make her feel that she is no longer a ghost walking alone in the dark, and the strings in her mind are taut from time to time. At least you don’t have to worry about being assassinated even in your dreams.

Her heart was full and her thoughts were quiet, and this sleep was sweeter than ever before.

She didn’t know how long she had slept, but a slight itching on the tip of her nose woke her up.

“Get up quickly, you little lazy bug.” A sister’s smiling voice came from her ear.

Teng Yuyi opened his eyes in a daze, and in front of him was a pair of clear and gentle eyes.

She turned over lazily: “Sister, don’t be noisy, let me sleep for a while.”

“Still sleeping, the trail master is here.” Du Tinglan fished her sister out of the quilt.

Teng Yuyi’s sleepiness subsided, and she hurriedly got out of bed to wash up.

Juesheng and Qizhi were waiting for Teng Yuyi in the garden, and when they saw Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan coming over, they happily said, “Miss Teng, Madam Du.”

Teng Yuyi laughed so hard that she couldn’t close her mouth: “Oh, I’m going to sleep late, please wait for a long time. Yes. Uncle Cheng has prepared breakfast, let’s have breakfast first.”

This is what the two sides agreed on yesterday, Juesheng and Qizhi nodded happily, and Mrs. Teng didn’t know what she was happy about. Seeing that she was refreshed, they handed the lacquer box in their arms to Teng Yuyi: “This is for Lady Teng’s.”
