Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 91

[Chapter 61: “Catch a Worm, Don’t Have to Order” [Ii…]
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan tipped inside, and they saw that the room was full of QiLuo, and under the careful identification, most of them were familiar faces.
Wu Qi has always loved to wear red dresses, and today she wore a pomegranate red silk skirt, and when she saw Teng Du and the two of them enter, she greeted them with a smile: “It’s late, do you say you should be punished?” She acted
in a fiery manner, and her voice was clear, du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi both saluted, and smiled in their mouths: “The punishment should be punished.” Penalty for wine or punishment for poetry, never dare to have two words. Then
he rushed to the crowd, “You have been waiting for a long time.”
The girls laughed and saluted back.
Wu Qi excitedly led the sisters into the table: “We are discussing whether to enjoy the flowers or fight the poems first, this is good, all of a sudden, two eyebrow sweepers have come, or let’s fight the poems first, what do you think?”
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sat down, and the neighbor was Li Huaigu.
Li Huaigu’s dark bun is covered with a gold-encrusted jade bone comb, and the forehead is attached to the jade tin, and the lipstick on her lips is as fresh as a cherry, lining her delicate flowers.
She said, “Ayu, Sister Lan.” Teng Yuyi
smiled and squinted, “Third Lady.”
Li Huaigu looked at Teng Yuyi: “Yesterday I wanted to invite you out to play, but the people in your house said that you were not very comfortable and could not go out, I only saw that the rubella on your face was not good, but today it looks almost good.”
Du Tinglan coughed softly, the sister is not unable to go out, but has already dressed as a “prince” to go to the West Market, yesterday when Li Huaigu’s post came to the door, it was she who let Cheng Bo return.
Teng Yuyi pretended to be surprised: “It turned out that you invited me to go out to play, I got up a little cold yesterday morning, I had to rest in bed, confused to hear the next person come in and talk back, and did not listen carefully.” Lao San Niang was pregnant, and the rash had been fine since eating Yu Yan Dan that day. Li Huaigu’s
face was full of concern, and he had to say a few more words, and someone on the other side of Du Tinglan opened his mouth: “Du Niangzi, Teng Niangzi.”
Teng Yuyi turned his head and looked, “Duan Niangzi.” This person’s
name is Duan Qingying, duan Ningyuan’s cousin, Dan Fengyan, white pure skin, looks inherited the heroism of the Duan family, the face is wider than the ordinary woman, but the small vermilion mole between the eyebrows, adding a little beauty to her silhouette.
Teng Yuyi had met Duan Qingying several times when he was a child, and the last time he met again at Liu Guozhang’s birthday banquet, but because of the retirement of the two Teng Duan families, the Duan family did not treat Teng Yuyi as warmly as before, especially for a junior like Duan Qingying, the attitude was inevitably a little unnatural.
This time is no exception, although Duan Qingying took the initiative to say hello, her smile was a bit far-fetched.
Du Tinglan has always had a good sex, but the practice of the Duan family in the matter of the two families retiring is not authentic, and she originally had a mustard in her heart for the Duan family, and she only smiled slightly when she saw the situation.
Teng Yuyi was calm and self-assured, not salty, not fading back to a salute, and turned his eyes to the people in the palace.
Wu Qi said, “Since everyone is willing to fight poetry, then prepare pen and ink.” Someone
in the hall said sadly, “I don’t know anything about poetry, and if you chant yours, I’ll take a nap next to you.” The
crowd burst into laughter.
Teng Yuyi looked at the past, but it was one of Peng Zhen’s twin daughters.
Peng Huayue grabbed her sister and covered her mouth with a smile: “Sister A is straight-talking and quick, and everyone is smiling, but Jinxiu is not wrong, she is proficient in bowing, swinging, and hitting balls, but she does not love to study, and she wants to write poems on paper and ink, I am afraid that I can’t hold out a word all day.” Immediately someone laughed and echoed: “Today’s
sun is so good, why bother to write poetry in the cloud hall, in my opinion, it is better to go out to enjoy the flowers, there is a swing frame in the peach blossom forest, and you can also play a swing when enjoying the flowers.” The
girls were also willing to move around, so they unanimously agreed.
Wu Qi smiled and asked the maid to pick up the tea fruit and asked everyone to move to the peach blossom forest.
In the peach blossom forest, the ladies strolled along with the flowers, while laughing freely, the spring breeze slowly passed through the forest, blowing the various colored scarves in the crooks of the girls’ arms high, and the brilliant colors accompanied by the melting spring light were more dazzling than the peach blossoms on the branches.
Some people said: “It is said that there is a mysterious secret in this Jade True Female Crown Temple, and in the event of military turmoil or disaster, you can escape through the Guanzhong organ, but I have come so many times, I can’t see anything.”
“Don’t forget that this Taoist temple was built by Princess Yuzhen and ordered by a hundred Xuanmen masters, and if you can see it with a random tourist, wouldn’t the hard work of those high-ranking people be in vain?”
Wu Qi picked a place that was most suitable for flower viewing, ordered the maids to tie the color curtain, set up a seat, and overheard Zheng Shuangyin: “Yesterday I encountered such a thing in the West Market, I looked at you that you would not come, even if you knew it was still coming, but today’s face looks much better than yesterday.” Peng Huayue’s
voice was a little tight: “Yesterday I let you see and laugh, we and Rong An Bo Shizi’s wife Xiao Jiang is a distant cousin, Sister Jiang used to see my aunt, always known as my aunt, these years our family is in Huaixi Province, but there is no contact with the Jiang family, but this friendship between relatives is still there, so yesterday we heard that Sister Jiang had an accident, we will be shocked to faint.” Peng Jinxiu
muttered, “My aunt heard that Sister Jiang had an accident, and she would have cried to death, if it weren’t for Sister Jiang’s body still parked at Dali Temple, it is estimated that today we would have taken us to Rong Amber Mansion to mourn.” Ah Niang was afraid that we would also be sad and forced us to come out and walk around, otherwise my sister and I would stay at home to accompany Ah Niang. “That’s
the way it is.” Zheng Shuangyin and others sighed sympathetically.
A young lady surnamed Lin said with trepidation: “Speaking of this, early in the morning Wu Hou came to the door to ask if anyone in our house was pregnant, I didn’t understand why, and then I asked Brother A, and I learned that there have been several such murders in Chang’an recently.” “And it’s
all the women who die.” Another person answered, “Last night, Wu Hou also came to our house to ask questions, saying that if there is a pregnant woman in the family, it must be reported immediately.” The government did this because it was afraid that the murderer would pick a pregnant woman again.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan chose a place to sit down on the seat, and as soon as they inadvertently raised their eyes, they saw that Duan Qingying was tightly clutching the towel with both hands, and the joints of his knuckles were actually a little white.
The bystanders also noticed that Duan Qingying was wrong, and whispered, “Qingying, are you uncomfortable?”
Duan Qingying covered her chest and nodded, “I was scared by this case.” I don’t understand how there can be such a vicious person in the world. At
this moment, the maids came over with a glass cup carrying cheese cherries, and Wu Qi had already seen that there was a different color in the faces of the people, and took the opportunity to change the topic: “It is not good to enjoy the flowers with an empty stomach, let’s eat something first.”
Teng Yuyi listened to what she had just said, and was wondering what mysteries this female crown view was hiding, moreover, she had eaten too many Sanqing cakes in the morning, and she couldn’t eat anything for a while, and when she looked around and saw the swing next to her, she immediately made up her mind, got up and walked to the swing frame, held the flower ropes on both sides and sat up, only gently tiptoed, and the swing took her to float in the spring wind.
Today, she is wearing a moon white lotus flower monofilament flower cage skirt, her arms are wrapped around the water color scarf, two light colors are matched together, surprisingly beautiful and graceful, people swaying in the shadow of flowers, there is a kind of water lotus-like bright color.
The crowd looked at her very delicate and beautiful, and sincerely exclaimed: “What a delicate beauty.” Lady Teng, your clothing is not unusual, but the color matching and needlework are always different from others.
Teng Yuyi smiled: “A few embroidery girls in Yangzhou helped me paint the look, if you like it, the next time I will take those tricks to everyone to see.” The
women quipped, “Why bother, we take turns every month.”Teng Niangzi has not returned to Chang’an for several years, and if she does not return, she will go to Teng Niangzi’s mansion to make a fuss.
Teng Yuyi was about to answer when he suddenly felt two cold eyes cast over.
She glanced at Yu Guang and smiled in response: “I have long wanted to invite you to play in the house, and I will write a post when I go back.”
As she spoke, she pretended to turn her eyes inadvertently, only to see the pile of ladies on the right laughing and smiling, as if the scene just now was just her delusion.
Teng Yuyi is a master of swing swing, sitting and swinging a few times feels not too addictive, simply stand on the sitting board Yang Du Tinglan to help, only to push a few times, it swung high into the air. As she moved, the pair of pearls on her head swayed, swaying back and forth, casting two bright rays of light on her tender white cheeks.
The crowd couldn’t open their eyes more and more, and Li Huaigu smiled and groaned as he took a pipe from the maid’s hand and put it on his lips to play it, and the sound of the pipe was gentle and twisted, which suddenly drew everyone’s attention.
Zheng Shuangyin listened to a few stacks and said, “Everyone says that the sound of Bai’s father and son is the best in the world, and I see that Li Sanniang’s hand skill has not lost to Bai’s.” Zheng Shuangyin is
extremely good at composing music, and has always been a little arrogant, even she is impressed, which shows how outstanding Li Huaigu’s performance is, everyone listens silently, and her expression is a few points more focused than before.
At this moment, a melodious piano sound came from behind the wall not far away, and the sound of the piano sounded loose, but it inadvertently suppressed the sound of the harp.
Li Huaigu seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and quickly put down the gong: “This is-”
The noble ladies looked up at the wall not far away, and said with a red face: “Ah, is it not the sound of the gong that alarmed His Highness the King of the County, don’t forget that behind the Western Wall is the Palace of the King of the County, maybe it is disturbing the rest of Your Highness, And Your Highness will play the piano to
Just a few elderly female crown people came to bring tea, and laughed and said, “Don’t get in the way, the poor Daoists often chant the sutra and hit the bell in the middle of the temple, and His Highness the King of the County is the most good-natured, and he will never be annoyed by such a small matter.” I heard that today His Highness the King of the County is entertaining friends from other places in the palace, and His Royal Highness the Prince has also come, and this piano should be played for the guests. Peng Jinxiu’s face turned
red: “When I was still in Huaixi Province, I heard that His Highness the King of the County was extremely good at music, and listening to this piano tone today, it can be seen that what I said is not false.”
Wu Qi: “Speaking of this, last time I heard Princess Changyi in the palace say a joke, saying that His Highness the King of the Counties once drank wine at Zheng’s house and heard someone playing a flute on the wall, and His Highness said that this person was sitting on a stone slab and playing.” Zheng Shujie did not believe it, let the next person go over to ask the neighbors, the result is really so, from which we can see how godly His Highness the King of the County’s ability to recognize the sound of the law is, Princess Changyi also said that the only one in chang’an who can compete with the sound of His Highness the King of the County is a pipe of jade flute, do you guess who the flute player is? It seemed
that many young ladies knew about this, but they only smiled red- and smiled, and Wu Qi’s gaze swept from left to right, and no one answered the call.
Teng Yuyi was playing on the swing, but his attention was on that side, and he couldn’t help but wonder a little when he heard this.
Just listen to the elderly female champions laughing and saying, “It’s the son of the king.” In the past, Xiao Shizi often came to the County King’s Mansion to play, and the flute was blown in a spirit and style, but unfortunately in the past year, he rarely heard it, and I heard that Xiao Shizi went to Dali Temple to take up a post, and he was too busy to play on weekdays. Lin
Chengyou? Teng Yuyi had seen Lin Chengyou holding a jade flute on the eaves of the Caifeng Building, and he thought he was just playing, but he didn’t expect that he knew this well.
The girls couldn’t help but look at the west wall, but unfortunately listened for a while, only the sound of the piano, and no flute sound.
Du Tinglan looked up at Teng Yuyi, her sister’s piano skills were wonderful, and she would be able to taste the high and wonderful points of this piano sound, but unfortunately, because of her aunt’s illness, her sister almost never talked about the rhythm in front of people, and her sister’s strange nature, even she couldn’t do it.
She said softly: “In addition to the talent and skill of the musical instrument, it also needs internal strength to control the breath, I guess the flute sound of Wang Shizi can compete with the piano tone of His Highness the King of the County, and it is inseparable from this, only Li Sanniang can’t keep up with the piano tone, and if she loses, she will lose in the internal force. Everyone was
stunned, Zheng Shuangyin was deeply impressed, remembering that Du Tinglan had taken the top spot last time, and when he looked at Du Tinglan again, there was a little more admiration and tacit understanding in his eyes.
Li Sanniang said modestly, “The small skill of carving insects does not dare to be compared with the two highnesses.”
Teng Yuyi looked at Li Sanniang meaningfully, and finally swung a little harder, and unexpectedly found that there were two towering ginkgo trees outside the peach forest, people could not see the beginning when they were under the tree, and now the vision was high, only to see that the two ginkgo trees were looking at each other from a distance, and it was a bit like …
Teng Yuyi “Ah” in his heart, people say that the layout of the Yuzhen Female Crown View is somewhat mysterious, could it be that this mysterious…
At this time, several young ladies came to the queue, and one by one they looked up and urged Teng Yuyi: “Teng Niangzi, it is our turn to play.”
Teng Yuyi smiled and said “Good”, fixed the flower rope and got off the swing.
***
Lin Chengyou got off his horse in front of the xinghua building, went straight to the second floor, found a private room, and saw Tianhe Xiguo waiting inside.
The two mysteriously got up and closed the door, and whispered to Lin Chengyou, “Everything Shizi wants is here.”
Lin Chengyou sat down in his robe, only to see a large number of things on the table, looking a little old, and at the top were several different records.
Lin Chengyou turned over: “It’s all about the Yueshuo Tongjun?”
Seeing The Heavens took the lead: “That’s right, once you become a Yueshuo Tongjun, there will be endless troubles in the future, this demon child has a simple heart, if you recognize someone as your mother, you must -”
Lin Chengyou laughed and interrupted the two: “I know what the two seniors said, but I went through all the relevant records, and none of them recorded that Yueshuo Tongjun could make a cry, but so far in these three murders, some people have heard the baby crying at the time of the incident, and today I invited the two seniors to come, just to ask why this is.”
Seeing that the sky was dumbfounded, He xi said: “This is not difficult to explain, do you think, in the past, when the Yueshuo Tongjun came out to make trouble, the ancestors of the ancestors only knew it afterwards, they were busy removing the secret, how do you know the situation when the Yueshuo Tongjun left the mother’s body?” Maybe they just cry when they come out.
Lin Chengyou raised his hand to close the Yizhi Record: “In addition to this, there are several inexplicable doubts in several cases, why is the first case in the same state, and the second case in Chang’an?” If there are no pregnant women in the same state capital, why should the murderers travel between two places?
“This—”
Lin Chengyou smiled: “I almost know the reason for this, I checked the geographical records of Tongzhou last night, and the inn was called Ju’an Inn in the middle of Tongzhou and Chang’an.” Do you guess why the inn is called ‘Juan’—”
“This name—” Seeing the sky and seeing the joy of looking at each other, “Is it for the sake of an auspicious one?”
Lin Chengyou: “I asked Liu Fa cao from Tongzhou, and he said that the place is always fierce, as to why there is a fierce trouble, Liu Fa Cao can’t say why he came, only that there was a demon in the local area, and the nearby mountain temple was built because of this.” It is said that in the first few years there was no trouble, but in recent years there have been frequent accidents in the neighborhood, or some people have fallen from the cliff, or fallen to their horses and died, and the innkeeper’s family has to name it ‘Juan’ for the sake of Tujili. Seeing the heavens, he pondered
: “In the past, there were no accidents, but in recent years, there have been frequent accidents… Isn’t there something sinister about to break through? ”
Seeing Xi Yizhen: “This is also too strange, obviously it is a peaceful and prosperous world, why are there frequent demons?!”
Lin Chengyou held the tea cup in his hand, but his eyes looked out the window. Today’s weather is sunny, the streets are noisy with cars and horses, and although the house is quiet, the noise downstairs is incessant.
He groaned for a moment and said, “Let’s not talk about this… The first case in Tongzhou Capital occurred near the Juan Inn, don’t you think it is too coincidental?
Erdao was astonished: “What does Shizi mean, that is the work of evil things?” But this is not right, let’s not say that we did not detect the evil spirit at the scene, let’s say that the little couple in the same state, you also said that the husband was killed by a pig-killing knife, and since it is a demon killing people, why bother like this——””
Lin Chengyou said coldly, “What if someone is secretly helping the demon?” Don’t forget, that tree demon is just a small demon who has been cultivating for a hundred years, and unless there is any chance, it is absolutely impossible to suddenly become a demon; The corpse evil and the golden-clad prince obviously broke the ground for a month, but the Cai Feng Lou never emitted a demonic aura, and that night I interrogated the golden-clad prince if someone had helped them out, and it looked hesitant and had something to say… This series of doubts has not been explained so far. Seeing
the sky and seeing the joy of the look gradually became serious.
“When it comes to these tire removal cases, there are more doubts.” Lin Chengyou refilled the pot for himself, “Let’s not talk about why someone bothered to concoct the Yueshuo Tongjun, those strange baby cries at the time of the crime were simply unbelievable, last night I went through the Demon Sutra and the Records of Different Zhi and found a record about ‘young fetus crying’, the name of that volume is called ‘Tolerance’.” Seeing
the sky and seeing the joy of the bullet: “Resistant to weight? Impossible, this thing is the king of evil spirits who commands the Night Fork Luosha.
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: “But don’t forget, The most likely to eat young babies- ”
Seeing the sky and seeing the joy of the fiercely interrupted Lin Chengyou: “If the tolerance is in this world, Chang’an will never be as calm as it is now… No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
“But if you only use the Yueshuo Tongjun to explain these murders, there are too many incomprehensible points, even if the previous people did not have the opportunity to witness the birth process of the Yueshuo Tongjun, they could always hear crying when fighting with him afterwards, but after going through the Records of the Different Zhi, they could not find the relevant records that the Yueshuo Tongjun would cry.” But if you think differently, the strange baby cry can be explained. Seeing
the tense strings of heaven, he said, “How do you say this?”
“Some people offered Yueshuo Tongjun as food to be weight-resistant.”
See the sky and see the joy of the mouth opened wide.
Lin Chengyou said: “The Demon Scripture once said that the young fetus is easy to get, but the Yueshuo Tongjun is not easy to get, the difference is the mother, the mother of the Yueshuo Tongjun because she witnessed the fetus leaving the body before she died, often with a soaring resentment, the young fetus’s Heavenly Spirit Cover was not closed, and before the umbilical cord was broken, it would have spirituality when it fell, and then turn into yin.”
Miki patted his thigh: “To say that the Yueshuo Tongjun is yin, it has flesh and blood; Say it’s demonic, and it’s full of yin. Shizi, such a half-yin and half-yang ghost fetus, is absolutely unworthy of weight tolerance. Although he is the king of all ghosts, he has always only done evil in the yang and never eats yin and evil things.
Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “What if the last breath of Yang Qi from the moment of her mother’s death was poured into the body of Yue Shuo Tong Jun?” Isn’t everything different? Crossing this yang qi, not only can the young tires cry, but also temporarily suppress the yin qi in their bodies, the weight can not feel the yin qi on the body of the Yueshuo Tongjun, it will be eaten as an ordinary meat fetus, and a Yueshuo Tongjun is often better than a hundred ordinary meat fetuses, and after eating it, the power will be greatly improved. I wonder if the murderer let the victim woman stay awake, will it be for the woman to keep a breath of hot air, so that she can cross to the Yueshuo Tongjun…”
Seeing the sky and seeing the joy, he was still shocked, but he vaguely felt that this was reasonable, because only in this way could he explain why someone would bother to concoct the Yueshuo Tongjun, and why there was a baby crying at the scene.
“…… But…” Seeing the dry sky, he said, “The latest record of weight tolerance in the Records of the Alien Chronicles was one or two hundred years ago, and there must be a reason for such a great thing to suddenly appear in the world!” It is said that this ghost king is extremely clever, and he likes to pretend to be a monk and play with mortals, first trapping people with a labyrinth, and then asking the prey question in a gentle manner, and if he can answer it, he may be able to escape from the labyrinth, but how many such smart people in the world? Once blocked by it, it will be chewed on the spot. Moreover, such things as the heavens and the earth are not tolerated, there must be visions before this world, and it is written in the “Demon Sutra” that before the endurance returns to the world, there will be thunder in the sky–”
The words have not fallen, and the beautiful sun outside the window has suddenly crossed a lightning bolt, and then a huge thunder has rolled over the head.
Seeing Heaven and Seeing Joy seemed to be hit by this thunder at the same time, and they suddenly froze.
Lin Chengyou was shocked and uncertain, got up and went to the window to inspect the thunder and lightning, seeing the sky and seeing xi was full of uneasiness, busy also ran to the window, the snow bright and winding lightning, actually went straight to the direction of the city, and then turned into a wisp of scorched smoke, slowly falling into the city.
That place was not far away, and Mi tian and miki had a long neck to distinguish the direction: “Is that — the Jade True Female Crown View?”
Lin Chengyou’s face changed, and he turned around and ran downstairs.
***
Inside the County King’s Mansion, the guests on the seat heard the sound of the whistle coming from the next door, which was faintly stunning.
The prince listened to the ear for a while, and said, “The skill is not bad, let alone ten years of achievement, but this person has no internal strength, otherwise he can keep up with the sound of the emperor’s piano.” King
Chun’an held down the strings: “Who is admiring the flowers in the view today?” The
steward replied, “I heard that the young lady of Wu Rujun’s family held a flower viewing party in the Guanli, and many people were invited to come, including the two thousand gold of Zheng Shu’s family and the little lady of General Teng…”
