It was almost noon when Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi returned to Qingyun Temple.

The doorway was silent, not even a single bird. When they stepped up the steps, they found two blue-colored baby-buttoned carts parked under the east wall.

Jue Sheng wondered: "Didn't senior brother say that we are closed today, why are there still guests?"

Qizhi followed and looked over, the car was simple and light, with no decoration at all. However, upon closer inspection, both the hub and the balance yoke were stronger than ordinary small cars.

There was a handyman sitting in the car. When he saw the two of them, the man jumped out of the car and bowed his hands: "I have seen two priests."

This handyman was white and beardless, with a smile like a Buddha's face. Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom returned the salute blankly, but he couldn't help speculating in his heart, what the origin of this car owner was, and even the driver under his hand was extraordinary.

When we went inside, Ji Zhi said: "Before we left in the morning, my senior brother once said that Mrs. Anguo's soul has been out of the body for too long, and it is very difficult to find it back. Now there is a way, it just needs another way. People help to set up the formation. The person the senior brother said is probably the owner of the cart."

"I think so too, otherwise, how could Senior Brother let that person in?"

The two hurried back to the scripture hall. There was no one in the main hall. The Prince of Chun'an and Yu Fengyu had already left.

In the eastern ear room, someone was talking in a low voice. The brother's voice was easy to distinguish, and the voice of the other middle-aged man was a little familiar.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, there was a creak, and someone came out.

They leaned back in fright: "Senior brother!"

"What are you looking at, how are you doing?" Lin Chengyou's voice was deliberately lowered.

Jue Sheng and Ji Zhi became more and more embarrassed. Seeing the appearance of Senior Brother, he clearly respected the person inside.

"It's done, it's done."

Qizhi nodded desperately: "Yes, Madam Teng's jade sword has lost its spiritual power."

Lin Chengyou smiled and walked out first, asking, "Did you do as I said?"

The two talked about what happened just now.

Lin Chengyou paused: "That is to say, if I don't put the evil spirit ring in in advance, you will lose a bag of itchy bugs in vain, and you won't be able to deceive the jade sword?"

Qi Zhi said indifferently: "We have worked very hard, but whoever calls Madam Teng is not stupid at all."

Lin Chengyou knocked over: "The two stupidest people in the world are here, and the ones outside are naturally not stupid anymore. Where's the sword? Where is the sword?"

Jue Sheng was discouraged: "The sword is still in Lady Teng's hands."

Qizhi raised his chest and said urgently, "She won't give it to us, we can't force it."

Lin Chengyou laughed angrily: "It's really a headache, how can I have such a stupid junior brother."

Jue Sheng said with a guilty conscience, "But Madam Teng will definitely come to us with a sword. Maybe she will go to Caifeng Tower tomorrow night."

Just as Lin Chengyou was about to go down the steps, he stumbled upon hearing the words: "Caifenglou? You told her about Caifenglou?"

Qizhi said with a sad face: "Senior brother, we are not good at deceiving people. If we let Mrs. Teng come to Qingyun Temple to find senior brother, senior brother may hang her for ten and a half months, reminding her to go to Caifenglou, senior brother can be found immediately. Teng The lady just wanted to get some itch bugs, but we turned her baby into waste, and Jue Sheng and I couldn't bear it."

Lin Chengyou's face turned black: "Okay, you are all bodhisattvas with hearts, and bodhisattvas should practice in a quiet place, why are you still hanging around in front of me, a wicked person, and you have to be mad at me to give up? Get out of here immediately. In the confinement room, you are not allowed to come out for a month."

The two were ashamed and anxious, so they couldn't help sobbing. The voice spread to the back. In the originally quiet wing, someone coughed. The voice was neither loud nor low, and it had a kind of kindness and generosity. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be admonishing Lin Chengyou. .

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were strange, Lin Chengyou rubbed his ears: "Well, before I leave, I will teach you every sentence, but you are still deceived by her. If she is taught a lesson, she will play Qingyunguan's idea in the future. Only if she is fully aware of her fears will this matter be stopped. If you don't say that you will help Guanli to avoid future troubles, and you are stupid to plead for her, are you willing to do it again? How many times have you been deceived by her?"

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi shook their heads together, then wiped their snot and said, "But... Maybe Mrs. Teng just wanted to get a few itch bugs to play with, and she might not lie to us in the future."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "She's not a child, she knows the harm of this bug, what else can a cheater do, only to harm people."

Qizhi and Juesheng thought with tears in their eyes, what the elder brother said seemed to make sense, the itch bug attack can make life worse than death.

In their memory, the senior brother let go of two worms.

Once was to deal with a lewd old Taoist priest from another place.

The thief is a lot of age, but his heart is extremely bad. He cheated people with money and money, and also ruined a lot of women. After the elder brother caught the old Taoist, he released dozens of itchy bugs to the old man in one breath. On the Taoist priests, the ones with the largest size were selected and let them play with the old Taoist priests in the prison.

Another time, it was at Ziyun Tower the night before to deal with Dong Erniang, who was full of lies.

In comparison, Mrs. Teng's deceitful deceitful deceitful behavior was indeed puzzling. She made bugs to harm people for no reason. It was no wonder that senior brother suspected that she was not a good person.

The two wiped away their tears and nodded, "Senior brother taught me a lesson."

Lin Chengyou rubbed his brows and said, "This matter is considered a smash by you, but I'm used to it, Senior Brother. It's just because of the little heads of the two of you. I'll be surprised if you don't do it one day. I'll explain to you another one. What happened? What did Mrs. Du say when she woke up, did she tell you who asked her to go to the bamboo forest?"

Qizhi pouted to express his dissatisfaction, and said sullenly, "Du Yuzhi said that his daughter did tell the truth after waking up, but because it concerns the privacy of the Du family, I can only tell the prince alone."

Lin Chengyou sneered: "Don't they know how many women the tree demon killed? Since the Du family knows the inside story, they should say it right away. What qualifications do they have to tell me the conditions."

Qizhi scratched his head: "Listening to Du Yuzhi's meaning, that matter seems to be very difficult. Now the Du family is eager for the help of senior brothers, but they seem to be afraid of something and insist only on telling senior brothers."

Lin Chengyou vaguely guessed what the Du family was worried about. He thought about Mrs. Du's reputation. He pondered it in his heart, but he didn't bother to say it. He just turned around and walked forward: "When will you say it? Where should you say it?"

"As long as the senior brother is willing to agree to the Du family's request, Du Yuzhi will come to tell him immediately."

Lin Chengyou put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky: "Today, we have to set up the formation in the temple, and I'm very busy at the moment. You send people to the Du residence to spread the word. I'm not interested in spreading the privacy of others, but my patience is limited, and I limit the Du family to send a representative before tomorrow. Come to Qingyunguan and tell me what happened that night in full, without changing a single word."

Jue Sheng dong dong dong ran down the steps: "I will send someone to spread the word."

Qizhi asked, "Senior brother, if Lady Teng goes to Caifenglou tomorrow night, will you meet her?

Lin Chengyou smiled and asked, "Why do we go to Caifeng Tower?"

"Get rid of trouble."

Lin Chengyou patted Qizhi's head: "Since it is to get rid of trouble, how can I have time to pay attention to irrelevant people?"

Qizhi was stunned for a while, is this going to hang up Mrs. Teng? They had good intentions, but ended up doing bad things.

But Mrs. Teng seemed to be different from ordinary women from aristocratic families, and she said timidly, "What if she insists on seeing senior brother?"

Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded: "Come on, let her come. She'd better admit her fault to me, and take the initiative to return the itch bug to me. If she dares to play tricks, it's nothing to destroy a magic weapon. I still have good things waiting for her. "

Qi Zhi was scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry. Senior brother was angry. If Mrs. Teng goes tomorrow night, I am afraid that she will suffer a big loss. Do you want to send Mrs. Teng a letter? I was afraid of being caught by my brother. After thinking about it, I looked up, only to find that my senior brother was stepping on the edge and began to draw talismans in front of the well.

Looking closely, the painting is "The Gate of Xuanhen".

This gate is the root of heaven and earth. After the soul of Mrs. Anguo fell into the nether realm, she lingered and refused to return. The senior brother forged a gate of mysterious females and used this method to lure her back.

Abandoned wisdom flew up to help, and there was an object on the table in front of the well. It was covered with a black square cloth. The square cloth was lifted to reveal a young tree inside. .

Qizhi's eyes widened slightly, it was actually the mother of the tree demon.

Jue Sheng returned to the courtyard, and was quite surprised to see this situation: "Senior brother, since you want to bring back the soul of Mrs. Anguo, why do you enshrine the tree demon here?"

Lin Chengyou said: "Mrs. An Guogong was killed by this tree demon. Who is the person you hate the most now?"

Qizhi blinked his eyes: "The tree demon!"

The Holy Sage gave a high five: "I know, using the tree demon's breath as bait can arouse the resentment of Mrs. Anguo's soul. The soul has an obsession, and the chance of getting it back is higher."

"Furthermore, I drew a fake door of the mysterious female here, which is equivalent to setting a target in the Qingyun Temple. Later, I will break the evil spirit talisman outside the temple, and the wandering souls of Chang'an will be attracted. This tree demon will come here. Although it has been beaten back to its original form, the yin evil spirit is still there, and if it is placed in the courtyard, ordinary lonely ghosts will not dare to approach, and when it comes to really attracting the soul, it will save a lot of trouble."

Lin Chengyou said, re-checking the organs in the courtyard, and after careful preparation, he took out the piece of paper An Guogong had drawn in the morning from his arms.

"Later, if there are footprints on the 'Zhichai Fan', it means that there is a soul coming. You should compare it carefully. If the two do not match, immediately drive it away. If it matches the footprints on the paper, try to find a way to bring Mrs. Anguo's soul to her. Lead in front of the well."

"Yes."

Lin Chengyou reminded them: "Be careful, it's fine if you don't pretend to be. As long as you dare to impersonate, it will definitely not be a good thing. It's a rare opportunity for you to experience it well."

"Don't worry, brother."

At this moment, there was an abnormal noise in the scripture hall, the closed door of the wing was opened on both sides, and a red line flew out from the inside and shot straight to the front of the well.

Abandoning wisdom and Juesheng was a big surprise. No wonder the senior brother respected that person so much. This person's inner strength was so deep that he was not even under the master's respect.

This red line is extremely thin, and there is a small bell hanging every few inches. It is strange that this bell is swaying endlessly by the wind, but there is no movement at all.

Lin Chengyou fished back and grabbed the red thread firmly: "Go, tie it to the well."

Qizhi responded, and the man in the wing was holding the other end of the red thread tightly. When Qizhi was about to tie the red thread above the wellhead, the other end suddenly pulled back, and the red thread was as tight as a bowstring.

Cigarettes curled up in the scripture hall, and there was a faint sound of mantra chanting. The bells on the red line rang golden and jingled, and the bells rang.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were shocked, Lin Chengyou went to the edge of the well, swung his sword straight at the east wall, and raised his voice: "Chen Li, are you still going back?"

The rising sun above his head was originally in the sky, but in an instant the clouds covered the sun, a huge shadow shrouded the sky, and the entire courtyard was plunged into darkness.

Jue Sage and Abandoned Wisdom were like great enemies, they hurried to the corridor and sat down. The ground was covered with fluffy chasing fans. As long as the dead souls came, they would definitely show up.

Lin Chengyou stood on the edge of the well holding his sword, holding his breath as he stared at the courtyard, the needles falling around him could be heard, and a gust of wind suddenly blew.

With a babbling sound, the courtyard door slowly opened.

Then, accompanied by a faint smell of filth, a red-golden footprint suddenly appeared on the ground. The footprint was extremely small, and it was obviously not the soul of Mrs. Anguo.

Juesheng and Jizhi's scalps go numb, coming so fast, this thing must be quite fierce.

***

Teng Yuyi looked at the sun above her head, and suddenly it was noon. Cheng Bo went to work according to her instructions, but she was nowhere to be seen until now. , said that the lunch was arranged, and asked Teng Yuyi to hurry over to eat.

Teng Yuyi arrived at Yilan Xuan, Du Tinglan fell asleep after drinking the medicine, the meal was set on the outside table, Mrs. Du and Du Shaotang were waiting for her, Du Yuzhi only told her for half-day leave, and she would return to Guozijian early.

Mrs. Du said: "I should have taken care of you and cleaned up the dust for you. Who would have guessed that such a thing happened. I didn't have time to prepare well in the morning, and I made a few dishes in a hurry. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Teng Yuyi sat down happily, almost all the dishes on the table were her favorite dishes, her eyes wandered on the table, and she asked excitedly, "Are all made by my aunt?"

Mrs. Du smiled and handed the tooth stick to Teng Yuyi: "Try it."

Teng Yuyi took a piece of jade dew ball and was full of praise: "I don't care about anything else in Yangzhou, I only care about the dishes made by my aunt. This time I went back to Chang'an so many things happened, I thought it would take a few days before I could **** aunt's craftsmanship. I didn't expect it to be eaten so quickly, and it's still so delicious."

Mrs. Du was so happy that she could not close her mouth, and she personally served a bowl of millet for Teng Yuyi: "Last night, my aunt was frightened, and she didn't close her eyes all night. You were resting in the next room. Go home and rest for a while."

Du Shaotang sat down on the opposite side and asked curiously, "Cousin Yu, just now the maid next to you asked me for a map of Chang'an, do you want to go out?"

Teng Yuyi said, "I haven't been back to Chang'an for several years. This time I want to take a walk around. I'm afraid the driver is not familiar with the road, so I have to look at the map."

Du Shaotang smiled and said, "Why is it so troublesome, I can go out with Cousin Yu. I am now studying in Guozijian, and occasionally I go out with my classmates. I have long been familiar with the streets and alleys of Chang'an City."

Teng Yuyi took a sip of sugarcane pulp and said casually, "I heard that a Persian restaurant has recently opened in Chang'an City. building."

Du Shaotang pondered for a while: "I have never heard of such a Persian restaurant, but there is a Caifeng Tower, which has become famous in Chang'an recently. Talking about it, I have never seen it with my own eyes.”

Teng Yuyi asked curiously, "Why do you admire that place so much? Is there anything special about this Caifeng Tower?"

Du Shaotang glanced at Madam Du secretly and said, "It's just that the wine and food are very good..."

He immediately changed the subject and said, "Cousin Yu, if you are looking for fine wine, why go to the wine shop outside, my sister made you a jar of sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus last year, and buried it under the begonia tree in the corner of the courtyard, saying that when you come, I'll dig it out for you to drink."

Teng Yuyi couldn't wait to put down the toothpaste, turned her head and looked around: "Where is the wine?"

Mrs. Du smiled and said: "You child, when you talk about wine, you will be very excited. The wine is buried under the tree, you have no legs, you can't run. You sit for me, you are tired these days, don't think about drinking first, Take a good rest today and ask Laner tomorrow."

After eating, Teng Yuyi went to the adjacent room to rest for a while, took out the jade sword and wiped it against the Xuan window, the more he wiped his brows, the tighter he became.

Chunrong and Biluo were unknown. When the lady and the two little Taoists were talking in the morning, they were far away, and they didn't know what happened, but since the little Taoist left, the lady would take out the sword from time to time to see.

"Let's take a nap while there is nothing to do in the afternoon." Chunrong said.

Teng Yuyi slowly lay down on the bed, holding the sword up in front of her eyes and studying it carefully.

"Madam, are you really going to that Caifeng Building tomorrow?"

"Let Cheng Bo ask about other Taoist temples in Chang'an." Teng Yuyi tucked the sword under the pillow, "Or if there is a Taoist priest with profound Taoism, if you want to inquire, let him come over and answer me as soon as possible."

She didn't believe it anymore. Chang'an was so big, and there must be many strange people. Could it be that Lin Chengyou alone can solve the evil spirit ring?

"The servant will go and deliver the message." Chunrong tucked the quilt on Teng Yuyi's behalf. "But the servant heard that Qingyun Temple is the No. 1 Taoist Temple in Tianda. It is not easy to find a match for it in Chang'an City."

Teng Yuyi secretly felt that this was a disappointment, snorted, and then suddenly opened her eyes and turned her head on the pillow: "Hey, where is my puppet."

Qiyun came in with a little gray puppet: "I was washed by Sister Biluo in the morning, and I'm only drying it now. If you smell it, lady, there is still the fragrance of the sun on top."

Teng Yuyi took the puppet, turned over, and hummed, "Be careful, if you lose it, I will never forgive you."

Chunrong and Biluo couldn't help laughing. Although the lady was young, she was used to making up her own mind in everything, but every time she went to bed, she still couldn't leave the puppet left by her like a child. .

Suddenly hearing someone whispering outside, Teng Yuyi hurriedly said, "Is Cheng Bo back? Go and have a look."

Biluo went out for a trip and brought back a map: "The eldest son was sent by someone, lady, are you really going to that Caifenglou tomorrow?"

Teng Yuyi turned over and sat up, took the map and studied it: "Hey, is this restaurant originally in Pingkangfang?"

Shouldn't it be a brothel?

What did Lin Chengyou take the two junior brothers to go to the brothel for?

Biluo and Chunrong also came to the bedside: "Oh, it's not too close to Qinrenfang, it takes more than an hour to come and go, lady, whether you go or not, you have to make a decision at noon tomorrow at the latest. If you leave later, you won't be able to rush back to Du Mansion before dark."
