Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 91

[Chapter 61 [Catch a bug, don’t need to click] [Two…]

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan put on their skirts and entered, and they saw that the room was full of splendor, and upon closer inspection, most of them were familiar faces.

Wu Qi has always liked to wear red skirts, and today she is wearing a pomegranate red lingerie skirt. When she saw Tengdu and the two come in, she smiled and greeted them: “It’s late, do you think it should be punished?”

She acted The wind was hot and the voice was clear. Du Tinglan and Teng

Yuyi both saluted and said with a smile, “You should be punished. You should be punished for drinking or punishing poetry. You will never dare to say anything.

” Returning the salute .

Wu Qi excitedly led the two sisters to the table: “We are discussing whether to enjoy the flowers first or to fight the poems first, now it’s good, two talented people who are sweeping the eyebrows suddenly came, why don’t we fight the poems first, what do you think? how?

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan took their seats, next to Li Huaigu. Li Huaigu ‘s jet

-black double bun had a gold-inlaid jade bone comb on his hairpin, and a green tin was attached to his forehead. The mouth fat on his lips was as fresh as a cherry. She made her flowers delicate and tender.

She smiled: “Ayu, Sister Lan. ”

Teng Yuyi smiled: “Sanniang.

Li Huaigu looked at Teng Yuyi: “Yesterday I wanted to invite you out to play, but the servants of your house said that you were not feeling well and could not go out. I just thought that the rubella on your face was not very good, but today it seems to be almost better. ” ”

Du Tinglan coughed lightly. It’s not that her sister can’t go out, but she has already gone to the West Market dressed as “Prince Prince”. When Li Huaigu’s post came to the door yesterday, she asked Cheng Bo to reply.

Teng Yuyi pretended to be surprised: ” It turned out that you invited me out to play. I woke up a little bit cold yesterday morning and had to rest on the bed. I stumbled and heard the answer from the servant, but I didn’t listen carefully. Lao Sanniang was worried, and the rash has been cured since eating Yuyandan that day. Li Huaigu ‘s

face was full of concern, and he had to say a few more words. Someone on the other side of Du Tinglan spoke up: “Miss Du, Madam Teng.” ”

Teng Yuyi turned her head and looked: “Miss Duan. ”

This person’s name is Duan Qingying, Duan Ningyuan’s cousin. She has phoenix eyes and fair skin. She inherits the heroic spirit of the Duan family in appearance. Her face is wider than that of ordinary women, but the vermilion mole between her eyebrows adds to her outline. A bit beautiful.

Teng Yuyi and Duan Qingying met several times when they were young, and they met again at Liu Guozhang’s birthday party last time, but because the Teng Duan family broke off their marriage, the Duan family did not treat Teng Yuyi as warmly as before, especially Duan Duan. The attitude of a junior like Qing Ying was a bit unnatural.

This time was no exception. Although Duan Qingying took the initiative to say hello, her smile was a bit far-fetched.

Du Tinglan has always been good-natured, but the Duan family’s behavior in the case of the two quitting their relatives was really inauthentic. She had a grudge against the Duan family in her heart, and she only smiled when she saw it.

Teng Yuyi was calm, and returned a salute, and turned his eyes to the people in the hall.

Wu Qi said: “Since everyone is willing to fight poetry, then prepare to write.” Someone in the hall said angrily

: “I don’t know anything about poetry and prose. If you sing about you, I’ll take a nap beside me.”

Everyone roared . laugh.

Teng Yuyi looked over, but it was one of Peng Zhen’s twin daughters.

Peng Huayue grabbed her sister and covered her mouth with a smile: “My sister is so outspoken, I made everyone laugh, but Jinxiu is right, she is proficient in Cuju, Swing, and hitting, but she doesn’t like to study, so let her Writing poems on paper and ink, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold a sentence all day long.”

Someone immediately echoed with a smile: “The sun is so good today, why should I be bored in the cloud hall and write poems? In my opinion, it’s better to go out and enjoy the flowers. There is a swing frame in the peach blossom forest, and you can also play a swing while watching the flowers.” The

girls were also willing to walk outside, so they all agreed.

Wu Qi smiled and asked the maid to pick up refreshments and fruits, and asked everyone to move to the peach blossom forest.

Arriving in the peach blossom forest, the ladies strolled while admiring the flowers, while laughing and laughing freely. The peach blossoms on the branches are even more dazzling.

Someone said: “It is said that there is a hidden mystery in this Jade Real Maiden’s Crown View. If you encounter military chaos or disaster, you can use the mechanism in the view to escape, but I have been here so many times, but I can’t see anything.”

“Forget it. This Taoist temple was built by Princess Yuzhen with hundreds of experts from Xuanmen, and if any tourists can come to see the clue, wouldn’t the efforts of those experts be in vain?”

Wu Qi chose a place that is most suitable for viewing flowers. , ordered the maids to get married and set up a banquet, and suddenly heard Zheng Shuangyin say: “Yesterday I encountered such a thing in the West Market, I thought you would not come, I don’t know that you are still coming, but today’s face looks much better than yesterday. Peng Huayue’s voice was a little tight: “I made you laugh yesterday .

We are distant cousins to Mrs. Rong Anbo’s first wife, Mrs. Jiang. Sister Jiang has met my aunt in the past, and she has always been called her aunt. Huaixi Road, I don’t have much contact with the Jiang family, but the friendship between relatives is still there, so when we heard about Jiang’s accident yesterday, we were shocked and fainted.”

Peng Jinxiu pouted: “My auntie I heard that Sister Jiang had an accident, and I cried to death. If it wasn’t for the body of Sister Jiang who was still in Dali Temple, I would have taken us to Rong Anbo’s house today to express condolences. My mother was afraid that we would also be sad and forced us to go out. Move around, or my sister and I will stay at home to accompany my mother.”

“I see.” Zheng Shuangyin and the others sighed sympathetically.

A young lady surnamed Lin said terrified: “Speaking of this matter, Marquis Wu came to our house early in the morning to ask if someone in our house was pregnant. I didn’t understand the reason at the time, but after I asked my brother, I found out that Chang’an has been out a few times recently. This is a murder case like this.”

“And all the dead are pregnant women.” Another person answered, “Wuhou also came to our house to ask about it last night, saying that if there is a pregnant woman in the family, you must report it immediately. The government did this because they were afraid that the murderers would pick pregnant women again.”

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan took a seat on the banquet, and inadvertently raised their eyes to see Duan Qingying clutching the woman tightly in both hands, and the knuckles of her knuckles turned white.

Others noticed something was wrong with Duan Qingying, and asked in a low voice, “Qingying, are you not feeling well?”

Duan Qingying covered her chest and nodded: “I was frightened by this case. I don’t understand, how can there be such a vicious person in the world? People.”

At this moment, the maids came over with cheese cherries in glass cups, and Wu Qi had seen the strange expressions on everyone’s faces, and took the opportunity to change the subject: “It’s not good to enjoy flowers on an empty stomach, let’s have something to eat first. ”

Teng Yuyi listened to what she said just now, and was thinking about the mystery behind this female crown view. Besides, she ate too much Sanqing cake in the morning and couldn’t eat anything for a while. She looked around and saw the swing next to her, and she immediately made up her mind. , got up and walked to the swing frame, holding the flower ropes on both sides and sitting on it, only gently tiptoed, the swing took her to float in the spring breeze.

Today, she is wearing a moon-white lotus monofilament flower cage skirt, with a water-colored towel wrapped around her arms. The two light colors are matched together, which is surprisingly graceful and graceful. color.

Everyone saw that she was extraordinarily charming and beautiful, and they sincerely praised: “What a beautiful woman. Madam Teng, the fabrics of your clothes are not unusual, but the color matching and stitching are always different from others.”

Teng Yuyi smiled: “Yangzhou If you like the patterns that the embroiderers helped me to paint, I will show you the patterns next time.” The

girls joked, “Why is it so troublesome, we will take turns every month, Mrs. Teng for several years. I haven’t returned to Chang’an anymore, or I’ll go to Madam Teng’s house next time to make a fuss.”

Teng Yuyi was about to answer when suddenly two cold eyes came over. She glanced at it out of the corner of the eye and

replied with a smile: “I wanted to invite all of you to come to my house for a long time to play, and I will write a post when I go back.”

That scene just now was just her illusion.

Teng Yuyi is an expert in swinging. After sitting and swinging for a few times, he felt that it was not enough. He simply stood on the middle of the seat to help Du Tinglan. After pushing a few times, he swung high into the air. When she moved, the pair of pearl steps above her head swayed, swaying back and forth, casting two trembling shadows of bright light on her tender white cheeks.

Everyone couldn’t keep their eyes open. Li Huaigu took a flute from the handmaiden with a smile, put it on his lips and began to play. Zheng

Shuangyin listened to it for a few times, then nodded and said, “People say that Bai’s and his son’s flute is the best in the world. I think Li Sanniang’s flute skills are no longer inferior to Bai’s.”

They all looked at each other with admiration. It could be seen how outstanding Li Huaigu was playing the flute. Everyone listened silently, and his demeanor was a little more focused than before.

At this moment, a melodious sound of the qin suddenly came from behind the wall not far away. The sound of the qin sounded loose, but it inadvertently suppressed the sound of the flute.

Li Huaigu seemed a little powerless, and quickly put down the Xiao: “This is—” The

ladies looked up at the wall not far away, blushing and said, “Ah, is the sound of the Xiao alarmed? Your Royal Highness, don’t forget that behind the west wall is the Palace of the County King, maybe it was because it disturbed His Highness’s rest that His Highness would play the violin as a warning…”

There happened to be a few older women who came to bring tea, heard the words with a smile: ” It’s okay, the poor people often chanting sutras and hitting the bell in the temple. His Royal Highness is the best temperament, and he will never be annoyed by such trivial matters. I heard that today His Royal Highness is entertaining friends from other places in the mansion, His Royal Highness is also here, and this qin should be played for the guests.”

Peng Jinxiu’s face flushed red: “When I was still on Huaixi Road, I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince is very good at melody, and listening to this qin today, It can be seen that what is said is not false.”

Wu Qi: “Speaking of this, last time I heard Princess Changyi tell a joke in the palace, saying that His Royal Highness was drinking at Zheng Pushe’s house once, and heard someone playing the flute on the wall, His Highness said, The person was sitting on a stone slab and playing. Zheng Pushe didn’t believe it, so he asked his servants to go over and ask the neighbors, and the result was really like this. From this, we can see how good His Royal Highness is at recognizing sounds and rhythms. Princess Changyi also said that the only one in Chang’an The one who can compete with His Royal Highness’s qin tone is a jade flute, do you guess who is playing the flute?”

It seems that many young ladies know about this, but they only blushed and smiled, and Wu Qi’s eyes swept from left to right Once, no one answered the call.

Teng Yuyi was playing on the swing, but her attention was on that side, and she couldn’t help but wonder when she heard this.

I just heard the older female champions say with a smile: “It’s the heir to the prince. In the past, the little prince often came to play in the county palace, and he played the flute in a graceful and unrestrained manner. Unfortunately, I have rarely heard it in the past year. I heard that The little prince has gone to work at Dali Temple, and he is too busy to play on weekdays.”

Lin Chengyou? Teng Yuyi once saw Lin Chengyou holding a jade flute on the eaves of Caifeng Tower. He thought he was just playing, but he didn’t expect him to know this.

The girls couldn’t help looking towards the west wall, but after listening for a while, there was only the sound of the piano, and no flute.

Du Tinglan raised her head and glanced at Teng Yuyi, her younger sister was very skilled in the piano, and she would definitely be able to appreciate the subtleties of the sound. Unfortunately, because of the death of her aunt, her younger sister almost never talked about the rhythm in front of people, and even she couldn’t do anything about her eccentric nature.

She said warmly: “In addition to talent and skills, musical instruments also need internal strength to control the breath. I guess the sound of the prince’s flute can compete with that of His Royal Highness. As far as internal strength is concerned, when it comes to skills, it’s actually not bad at all.”

After everyone’s meal, Zheng Shuangyin agreed, remembering that Du Tinglan won the title last time, and when he looked at Du Tinglan again, there was a little more admiration in his eyes. and tacit agreement.

Li Sanniang said humbly, “I dare not compare it with the two His Royal Highnesses.”

Teng Yuyi looked at Li Sanniang meaningfully, and finally swayed again, and unexpectedly found that there were two towering ginkgo trees outside the peach grove. Ginkgo looked at each other from a distance, and it looked a bit like…

Teng Yuyi let out a “huh” in his heart, people said that the layout of Yuzhen’s crown view is a bit mysterious, could it be this mystery…

At this time, several little ladies came to line up, all raised their heads He urged Teng Yuyi: “Ms. Teng, it’s our turn to play.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and said “Okay”, fixed the flower rope and got off the swing.

***

Lin Chengyou dismounted in front of the Xinghua Building, went straight up to the second floor, and found a private room, where Jiantian and Jianxiguo were waiting.

The two mysteriously got up and closed the door, and whispered to Lin Chengyou: “All the things the prince wants are here.”

Lin Chengyou sat down with his robes up, and saw a lot of things scattered on the table, all of which looked a bit odd. Dilapidated, and at the top are several Random Records.

Lin Chengyou flipped through the pages: “It’s all about Yueshuo Tongjun?”

Jiantian took the lead and said: “Yes, once you become Yueshuo Tongjun, there will be endless troubles. This demon boy has a pure heart, if you recognize someone as Your mother must be—”

Lin Chengyou interrupted the two with a smile: “I know what the two seniors said, but I have searched all the relevant records, and there is no record that Yueshuo Tongjun can cry. However, in the three murder cases so far, some people have heard the cry of a baby when the incident happened, and I invited the two seniors to come here today, just to ask why this is.”

Jian Tian was dumb, but Jian Xi said: “It’s not difficult to explain, think about it, in the past, when Tongjun Yueshuo came out to make trouble, the predecessors only knew after the fact. They were busy eliminating troubles. How did they know the situation when Tongjun Yueshuo left the mother body? Maybe they are I cry when I come out.”

Lin Chengyou raised his hand and closed the record: “Besides this, there are several unexplainable doubts in several cases, why is the first one in Tongzhou and the second in Chang’an? Is there no pregnant woman in Tongzhou, murderer? Why go to two places?” “This—

”

Lin Chengyou smiled: “I almost know the reason for this. I checked the topography of Tongzhou last night. The inn is located in the middle of Tongzhou and Chang’an, and its name is Ju’an Inn. Guess why the inn is called ‘Ju’an’——”

“This name——” Jiantian and Jianxi looked at each other, “Is it for auspiciousness?”

Lin Chengyou: “I asked Liu Fa Cao from Tongzhou. , he said that the place was always violent. As for why it was so violent, Liu Facao couldn’t say why, but only said that there had been a lot of trouble in the local area, and the nearby mountain temple was built because of this. It is said that in the first few years In recent years, accidents have often happened nearby, or someone fell from a cliff, or fell off a horse and died, the inn owner had to name it ‘Ju’an’ for the sake of good luck.

” It’s okay, but there have been frequent accidents in recent years… Maybe something evil is about to break out of the ground.” Jianxi was

shocked: “This is too unbelievable, it is obviously a peaceful and prosperous world, why are there so many monsters?! ”

Lin Chengyou rubbed the teacup in his hand, but looked out the window. The weather is fine today, the street is full of cars and horses, although the house is quiet, the noise downstairs is still incessant.

He pondered for a while and said: “Let’s not talk about this… The first case of Tongzhou Mansion happened near the Ju’an Inn, don’t you think it’s too coincidental.”

Er Dao said in surprise: “The prince means, that is What was done by evil things? But that’s not right, let’s not say that we didn’t detect the evil spirits at the scene, just say that the young couple in Tongzhou, you also said that the husband was killed by a pig-killing knife Yes, since it’s a monster murder, why is it so troublesome-”

Lin Chengyou said abruptly: “What if someone is helping Yaoyi in secret? Don’t forget, that tree demon is only a little demon with a hundred years of cultivation, unless there is any chance, it will never suddenly become a demon; It has been a month since the ground was broken, but Caifenglou has not exuded a demonic aura. That night, I questioned whether Young Master Jinyi had someone to help them out, and he was hesitant and clearly had something to say… This series of doubts has yet to be explained.”

See Tian He Jianxi’s expression gradually became serious.

“When it comes to these few cases of fetal retrieval, there are even more doubts.” Lin Chengyou raised the pot and refilled himself a cup of tea, “Let’s not talk about why someone bothered to concoct Yueshuo Tongjun, the strange baby cry at the time of the case was simply annoying. It’s unbelievable, last night I rummaged through Yaojing and Yizhilu and found a record about ‘baby crying’, and the title of that volume is ‘Naizhong’.”

Jian Tian and Jianxi slammed all over: “Naizhong Impossible, this thing is the king of evil ghosts who command the Yaksha Rakshasa.”

Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: “But don’t forget, Naizhong likes to eat young babies– ” Jiantian and Jianxi

suddenly interrupted Lin Chengyou: “If Naizhong is alive, Chang’an will never be as calm as it is now… No no no no no, this is absolutely impossible. Besides, Yueshuotongjun is different from an ordinary baby.”

“But if you only use Yueshuotong Jun Lai explained these murders, there are too many incomprehensible things, even if people in the past did not have the opportunity to witness the birth of Yue Shuo Tong Jun, they could always hear crying when they were fighting with him afterwards. The relevant records of Shuotong-jun crying. But if you change your mind, the strange baby cry can be explained.”

Seeing the tense voice of the sky: “How do you say this?”

“Some people treat Yueshuotong-jun as food. Dedicated to endurance.”

Jian Tian and Jian Xi opened their mouths.

Lin Chengyou said: “It was said in the demon scriptures that a baby is easy to get, but Tongjun Yueshuo is not easy to get. The difference lies in the mother. Because the mother of Tongjun Yueshuo witnessed the fetus leaving the body before her death, she often harbored resentment towards the sky. The celestial cover of the baby is not closed at first, and when it is hit by this resentment before the navel is broken, it will have spirituality when the baby is born, and then it will turn into a yin evil.”

Jianxi slapped his thigh: “If you say that Yueshuo Tongjun is a yin evil, it has flesh and blood; if you say that it is a monster, it is full of yin energy. Shizi, such a half-yin and half-yang ghost child, you will never look down on it. Although Naizhong is the king of all ghosts, he has always only done evil in the yang realm and never eats yin ghosts.”

Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “What if the last breath of yang energy from my mother’s dying moments was poured into Yueshuo Tongjun’s body? It’s not that everything is different. After passing this yang qi, not only can the baby cry, but also temporarily suppress the yin qi in their bodies. It is eaten as an ordinary meat fetus, and a Moon Moon Boy is often better than a hundred ordinary meat fetuses. After eating it with patience, the skill will be greatly improved. I am thinking, the murderer keeps the victim woman awake , is it just for the woman to keep a breath of heat so that it can be passed on to Yueshuo Tongjun…”

Jiantian and Jianxi were still shocked, but vaguely felt that this was justified, because only in this way can we explain why someone would want to Painfully concocted Yueshuo Tongjun, and why there is a baby cry at the scene.

“…But…” Seeing the sky dryly said, “The latest record on the weight-resistance in the Records of Foreign Records is one or two hundred years ago. Such a big thing suddenly appeared in the world, there must be a reason! It is said that this ghost king is extremely smart, He likes to play tricks on mortals by pretending to be monks, first trapping people in a maze, and then asking the prey questions politely. If you can answer them correctly, you may be able to escape the maze, but how many smart people are there in the world? If you block it, you will be chewed by it on the spot. Moreover, such things that the world cannot tolerate, there will definitely be a vision before the world. It is written in the “Yao Jing” that every time before the life of Naizhong, there will be a flash of thunder in the sky-” The

voice Before it fell, on the bright sunny day outside the window, there was a flash of lightning, and then, a rumbling thunder rolled over his head.

Jiantian and Jianxi seemed to be hit by the thunder at the same time, and they were stunned.

Lin Chengyou was in shock, got up and went to the window to check the thunder and lightning. Seeing Tian and Jianxi were full of unease, and hurriedly ran to the window. The bright and meandering lightning went straight to the city, and then turned into a wisp of light. Burnt smoke, slowly falling into the city hall.

The place is not too far away, Jian Tian and Jian Xi stretched their necks to tell the direction: “Is that – Yuzhen Nuguan Guan?”

Lin Chengyou’s face changed, he turned around and ran downstairs.

***In

the Prince’s Mansion, the guests on the seat heard the sound of the flute coming from the next door, and they were vaguely amazed.

The prince listened for a while, nodded and said: “The skills are not bad, at least ten years of work, but this person has no inner strength, otherwise he will be able to keep up with the sound of the emperor’s uncle.” The

king of Chun’an held down the strings of the piano. “Who is watching the flowers today?” The

steward replied, “I heard that the young lady of Wu Ruyun’s family was holding a flower viewing party in the temple. Many people were invited, including Zheng Pushe’s two thousand gold, General Teng. The little lady…”
