Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 79

[Chapter 50: Teng Yuyi’s Courtyard]

Teng Province.

Teng Yuyi held the Xiaoya Sword in his hand and watched as something approached in the corridor.

It was a young woman in her early twenties, her face was unusually puffy, her abdomen seemed to have just been pierced with a sharp knife, and blood stained the entire skirt.

Every time the young woman took a step forward, a large stream of blood gushed out from the gap in her abdomen, flowing down the skirt to her feet, and soon left a meandering trail of blood in the corridor. But the woman seemed to be unaware of the pain, and still hurried forward: “Give it back to me!” The woman’s voice was

fierce, and with each cry, the coolness in the air increased by one point, and Teng Yuyi was disgusted, clutching the handle of his sword while retreating: “What else, what are you?” I don’t take your things, my sword is very powerful, you dare to take a step closer, I will immediately let your soul fly away. But the

woman repeatedly cried out, “Give it back to me!”

Her figure fluttered, and in a flash, she was forced to the front of Teng Yuyi, Teng Yuyi almost did not faint from the extremely thick blood gas, and her footsteps subconsciously retreated, but the sword in her hand stabbed forward violently, not paying attention to the stab, and then turned her head, just in front of the woman’s crimson eyes.

The woman’s body leaned forward violently, and the pale hand was about to pinch Teng Yuyi’s neck, and Teng Yuyi was in a hurry, so that Cheng Bo taught her the Ke’er sword technique, and the sword body was lifted upwards, slashing the woman’s arm.

This move was neat and crisp, and the shot was a killing move, but before she could stab, the woman’s ghost disappeared again.

Teng Yuyi leaned back a few steps against the door and shouted, “Duan Fu! Cheng Bo!

Overhearing a muffled sound after the rockery, like something heavy falling to the ground, Teng Yuyi was stunned, and he heard someone gasping loudly.

Her heart moved, she turned her head and ran along the corridor, and saw a large piece of clothing next to the rockery, carefully identified by the moonlight, only to feel that the figure was inexplicably familiar.

“Duanfu?” Teng Yuyi tried to summon.

The black shadow shook violently.

It was truly a blessing. Teng Yuyi held his breath, took three steps and made two steps down the steps, quickly bypassing the rockery, and couldn’t help but be surprised.

Only to see Duan Fu half kneeling on the ground, four strangely shaped little ghosts lying on his shoulders, Duan Fu’s face was swollen purple, as if his body was pressed against a big mountain, he tried his best to get up, but he couldn’t even stand up straight.

The little devils were blue and quiet, either busy blowing air in Duanfu’s ears or scratching Duanfu’s hair.

Teng Yuyi was shocked, it turned out that Duan Fu had already come, but as soon as he came, he was entangled with these ghost things.

She took the lead in stabbing at the little ghost on Duan Fu’s left shoulder, and the little ghost in the stabbing turned into a wisp of light smoke and dissipated in the fog, and the remaining little ghosts squeaked and screamed, jumped to the ground and disappeared in a flash.

“Did you hear me cry out for help?” Teng Yuyi stepped forward to help Duan Fu. Thanks to the blessing, if someone else has been trapped for so long, he may have died of exhaustion a long time ago.

Duan Fu gasped and got up: “I didn’t hear it, I suddenly felt that the courtyard wall was as cold as ice, and the old slave was worried about the mother, so he climbed over the wall and came in, how did he know that he was trapped by these things.”

After a while of tempering, Teng Yuyi was already surprised by this, took out the charm in his sleeve, and handed it to Duan Fu randomly: “They are deliberate, our small courtyard is now estimated to be like a cage, the news cannot be sent out, these things seem to be not small, I have to shout Out Xiao Ya and ask what’s going on, right, those little devils can ask you for something?” Duan

Fu shook his head.

Teng Yuyi said doubtfully: “That’s strange, the woman said to me vigorously, ‘Give it back to me’ and ‘give it back to me’, as if I took her treasure…”

She was about to summon Xiao Ya out, Duan Fu looked up, her face suddenly changed, her right arm probed behind Teng Yuyi’s shoulder, and quickly took a picture of the charm that Teng Yuyi had just given him.

Teng Yuyi smelled the thick fishy breath in the wind, and knew that the female ghost was probably coming again, so she immediately turned the tip of the sword and stabbed it backwards with force, but before the sword could be sent out, her neck was choked by a pair of cold hands.

Teng Yuyi’s eyes went black, and his arms could no longer exert strength.

Duan Fu was in a hurry to shoot several charms, and the female ghost did not move at all.

Duan Fu roared lowly, grabbing the shoulder of the female ghost with his bare hands, he was infinitely powerful, under this grasp, he could easily crush the shoulders of the person, but the figure of the female ghost suddenly floated up, so that people could not catch it.

“Give it back to me!” The female ghost said sadly.

Teng Yuyi was subdued, only a pair of eyes could still move, she first rushed to the end of the Fu to make the color of the eyes, and then turned her eyeballs to look down.

Duan Fu immediately gave up attacking the woman, supported Teng Yuyi’s right arm, and helped her aim the tip of the sword at the female ghost behind her, the small sword was useless in his hands, only in Teng Yuyi’s hands had power.

Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth to make a force, and Duanfu helped her fight with the female ghost, the tip of the sword was quickly raised to the shoulder, just a stab back, the female ghost would flee because she was afraid of the sword blade.

But at this moment, several small ghosts suddenly emerged from behind Duan Fu’s body, and it seemed that they were about to clamp Duan Fu’s neck again, and a silver light suddenly flew from the night sky, and the little devils looked up and fled in panic.

The silver light struck Behind Teng Yuyi, and the strength on Teng Yuyi’s neck suddenly loosened, she took a few steps backwards, stroked her neck and coughed, and looked back in a hurry, and saw that the woman was wrapped around a silver chain around her neck, which was already tied.

Teng Yuyi recognized at a glance that it was Lin Chengyou’s lock soul, but strangely Lin Chengyou did not see a person, overheard the sound of the branches and leaves above the bamboo forest, and someone jumped down.

The cold air dissipated, and Lin Chengyou carried a string of sachets in his hand, which seemed to contain living things, and everyone was arching.

Teng Yuyi gasped and thought, Aren’t you carrying those little ghosts?

Lin Chengyou looked around cautiously, but in his mouth he asked Teng Yuyi: “Is it all right?” “It’s

all right, Shizi—” Teng Yuyi said gratefully.

After saying that, I was shocked, and my voice was too hoarse.

Lin Chengyou frowned, listening like a little duck, looked at the purple marks on Teng Yuyi’s neck, took two strange color runes from his sleeve and handed them to Teng Yuyi: “Soak this thing in water and drink it, tomorrow your throat will feel better.”

Teng Yuyi: “Shizi was woken up by Xuan Yin Ling?” “Or

else?” Lin Chengyou glanced at her obliquely, I don’t know if it was because of Yu Yan Dan, half of the rash on her face was gone, and the face under the moonlight was a bit like the snow dew ball he had eaten at night, soft and white.

Looking at her again, she was tightly wrapped in a crimson cloak, revealing only a pair of peony red soft satin shoes underneath.

He retracted his gaze, turned around and walked toward the female ghost: “Teng Yuyi, do you think you have been too unlucky lately, Xuan Yin Bell will not be able to take it down for a while and a half, if you quarrel again every three or five, do I still want to sleep at night?” Teng Yuyi had

a chill on his back, knowing that denying it would appear weak instead, and simply sighed: “It seems to be a little unlucky, and it alarms Shizi in the middle of the night, and it is strange and embarrassing.” But tonight this female ghost must have found the wrong person, just now she kept saying ‘give it back to me’, but I had never seen her before. “‘

Give it back to me’? Did she really tell you that?

Teng Yuyi snorted and hurried to keep up with Lin Chengyou’s pace, only listening to the rustling behind him, and Duan Fu did not make a sound to keep up.

Lin Chengyou walked alongCasually picking up a branch on the ground, he walked over to the female ghost, he bent down and drew a circle around her, and then his right hand was empty, and the lock soul cat flew back into his sleeve like a silver star.

The female ghost did not have a silver chain around her neck, but she was immediately trapped by the formation that Lin Chengyou had just drawn.

She grabbed her hands with both hands and shouted at Teng Yuyi, tearing her heart out, “Give it back to me!” Give it back!

Teng Yuyi: “Listen, as soon as she appeared, it was like this.” Saying

this in her mouth, her heart was panicked, what was going on with the art of borrowing life, she still hadn’t figured it out, it was better to borrow the life of a demon, in case she borrowed the life of a living person…

Could it have happened to be the woman’s life?

She looked into the woman’s resentful eyes, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was such a possibility. The woman’s death was so tragic, if it really had anything to do with her, she would rather give her life back quickly.

Lin Chengyou looked up and down at the female ghost, and suddenly as if he had found something, he half-crouched down and stared at the female ghost’s abdomen, looking at it, and his face changed.

Teng Yuyi was even more nervous than Lin Chengyou in his heart, and he also looked down and quickly found something wrong under one look.

“What she lost was—” She was stunned.

“The fetus in the womb.” Lin Chengyou’s face was solemn for a few minutes.

He looked up at the woman, and when he got up, a charm popped out of his fingertips, and the rune paper fluttered and fell like a fallen leaf to the top of the woman’s hair, and the woman’s cries stopped abruptly, and her scarlet eyes became clear.

Lin Chengyou’s tone was very gentle: “What are you looking for?” Do you want me to help you find it? The young woman’s

vicious expression slowly loosened, and she looked down at her abdomen.

Lin Chengyou sighed, “Who hurt you like this?” But the

woman cried out again bitterly, “Give it back to me!” When

she shouted this, the rune paper on her head instantly shattered into the end of the paper.

Lin Chengyou frowned, and a few charms popped out in an instant, but the female ghost’s fierce spirit did not diminish at all, and it was becoming more and more intense.

Lin Chengyou was full of doubts, so he had to put the female ghost into the sachet first.

Teng Yuyi looked at the sachet in horror: “It seems that what she is looking for is the fetus in her belly… In the case that the second lady of the Chen family said that day, the death of the wife was somewhat similar to that of this woman, and I wonder if the two have a relationship? Strange, I have nothing to do with this female ghost, why she found me. Lin Chengyou was

also thinking about this question, not to mention whether this female ghost tonight was related to the massacre in tongzhou, and how did the female ghost find Tengfu?

A thought popped into his head, and he looked around, shouldn’t anyone do anything around this courtyard.

Overhearing the movement in the room, Du Tinglan shouted in a panic, “Ayu, Ayu! As soon as the door opened

, Chun Rong took the lead in panic and came out with a lantern: “Niangzi-”

Seeing the situation in the courtyard, several people froze.

Lin Chengyou looked around and walked towards the outside of the wall as if nothing had happened: “Well, I will find out the origin of the female ghost as soon as possible, if there is anything I don’t understand, let the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation Ask You another day.”

Teng Yuyi was embarrassed, originally she was also bent on returning this bell, but she only knew tonight that even if it was covered with runes painted by the Absolute Saint and renunciation of wisdom, it would not be able to stop the real evil spirit, and before Lin Chengyou took away the Xuanyin bell, it was best to ask him to set up a blocking array inside and out.

She said busily and earnestly, “Shizi please stay, I still have one more thing I want to ask Shizi to help, can Shizi drink a cup of hot tea and leave again.” ”

Hot tea?

“I don’t think it’s necessary.” Lin Chengyou did not look back, but his pace slowed down.

***

The handmaidens held the palm lamp, the tea tea, and the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.

Lin Chengyou sat at the group table, looking around boredly.

Teng Yuyi this small courtyard is not big, but the layout is very careful, the first is four rooms, there is another elegant room on the east side, the elegant room and the main house are separated by a winding corridor, the corridor is lined with rare flowers, the front of the elegant room is facing the atrium, and there are spring stones in the back.

Lin Chengyou was sitting in the elegant room at the moment.

He guessed that this was the place where Teng Yuyi read and wrote on weekdays, and the furnishings in the room were far more frugal than he imagined, only a bookcase, a table, a bed, and a landscape ink-colored silk screen, and the only eye-catching decoration was the bookshelf that stood on three sides.

The bookcase is set in front of the window, and above it hangs a plaque with three words written on it: Tan Shang Yue.

Lin Chengyou had already seen Teng Yuyi’s words, so he recognized at a glance that she had written them and inscribed them in the study, presumably the name she had given to her own courtyard.

“Tan on the moon.” Lin Chengyou read it in his mouth, but it was out of chance, and he didn’t know how much more cheerful than the “flowers”, “incense” and “butterflies” that girls are accustomed to.

I don’t know where she has seen this beautiful scenery, I want to come to Jiangnan, she said last time that she was infected with the problem of being afraid of water because of falling water, and now when she sees the waterhole, she will be afraid, this “pool on the moon” situation, I am afraid that she can only wait until she cures this problem in the future to taste it again.

After waiting for a while, he didn’t see Teng Yuyi come in, but he accidentally smelled a wisp of incense, and the gilded beast incense burner on the table had long been extinguished, and the aroma was emitted from the incense cakes left in the incense burner.

Lin Chengyou recognized this aroma, as early as when he was in Cai Feng Lou, he often smelled this smell on Teng Yuyi’s body.

At first he did not know the name of the spice, last time he happened to smell it in the palace, along the aroma to find the past, accidentally saw a few delicate flowers in the corner of the wall, asked the palace to know, this flower is called rose, the flowers are rich and delicate, the aroma is a must.

This flower originally bloomed in early summer, but due to the warm weather in Chang’an recent days, the gardeners in the palace were good at serving the flowers, and many flower bones had been detected on the branches.

According to the florist, this flower has a very big temper, don’t look at the flower plate so beautiful, the flower branches are full of sharp thorns, you must be very careful when enjoying, because if you don’t pay attention, you will prick your hands.

Chang’an does not plant many roses, and even fewer are used to make incense, presumably it is for this reason that Teng Yuyi loves this flower alone.

Lin Chengyou sat for a while, secretly feeling that the aroma was particularly disturbing, and simply got up and walked to the bookshelf, which was voluminous, not to mention thousands of books.

The books are mixed with old and new, not just for appearance, Teng Yuyi’s intelligence seems to be inseparable from her penchant for reading.

His eyes lingered on the bookshelf, the scrolls were divided into categories, and under each scroll hung a variety of red, white, and blue dental bookmarks, which rang out in the study in the windy weather.

This is consistent with the library in the palace, just thatI don’t know what kind of books the four colors of red, white, blue and blue are here in Teng Yuyi.

He was about to step back to the round table when he accidentally saw a large piece of paper on the bookcase, with a lot of words written on it, and the ink had dried.

He subconsciously looked away, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a few words, one was “Wind in the Fire” and the other was “Happy Sakura”.

It looked like he was trying to make a name, “fire” and “cherry” both implied vermilion, and he wondered for a moment whether Teng Yuyi was busy naming the red flame horse.

He only knew that she had taken a fancy to his little red horse, but he didn’t expect her to like it so much, and looking at her troubled look, it was as if she had a big baby.

He kind of wanted to laugh, okay, the Red Flame Dragon has such a short-guarding master, but he doesn’t have to worry about what grievances it will suffer in the future.

While thinking, footsteps came from outside the door, the maids opened the curtain, and Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan came in.

Teng Yuyi changed into a goose-yellow skirt for the visitor, and his head was also neatly combed with a fallen horse bun.

After she drank the soup, her throat was good, and as soon as she came in, she let the maids put the steaming refreshments on the bed table, smiled and squinted, and said: “Late at night to disturb Shizi, I really don’t want to go, Shizi don’t feel that the dim sum is rude, first just pad your stomach.” As

she spoke, after a room full of people were busy, the maids waited extra carefully, and Du Tinglan looked a little respectful because of her gratitude.

The table was soon filled with a variety of dim sum, each plate exquisite.

Lin Chengyou was a little surprised, Teng Yuyi was looking for all the snacks in the kitchen.

Teng Yuyi carefully paid attention to Lin Chengyou’s look, he was now their benevolent father,The first few times he helped not to say, from tonight’s situation, in the future, there will be trouble lin Chengyou, she must have a good relationship with him, so the reception is particularly solemn.

Lin Chengyou looked up to the left and right, and the whole house was looking at him.

He thought about it, casually picked a few pieces of dim sum to eat, and when he ate it, he thought, no wonder Absolute Saint and Ren zhi like to eat Teng Yuyi’s dim sum, her taste is as sweet as a child, and the filling of the dim sum is a little greasy.

But he still ate it silently.

Although Teng Yuyi sat down on the opposite side, those dark eyes paid attention to Lin Chengyou’s every move, seeing that he had finished eating all the snacks, the corners of her mouth smiled out of two shallow pear swirls, signaled ChunRong to offer the towel and tea soup, and said: “I am still worried that Shizi will not be accustomed to eating the snacks of the southern land.” It was

a little unaccustomed, Lin Chengyou drank the tea and cleaned his hands, and said, “Say, there is something I want to help.” ”
