Capture the Jade:

The emperor and Liu Bingyu stared at each other.

Qing Xuzi stared at his disciple and grandson, as soon as the words came out, the child's expression changed immediately.

Qingxuzi sighed: "You don't have to suspect that Shigong made a mistake. Shigong used Liuren, Taiyi, and Leigong to calculate the three hexagrams respectively, and the hexagrams he got were exactly the same. This child was born with evil spirits and grew up. It is a catastrophe, a catastrophe, and it cannot be resolved or avoided. You don’t have to wait until the age of 16. This child will definitely die in response to the catastrophe. Five, now we have officially entered the year of disaster.”

Impossible. There was a loud ringing in Lin Chengyou's ears, and Shang Yuanjue said that Teng Yuyi's fate was not right, but the abbot's words were more tactful, unlike the teacher who asserted that Teng Yuyi would not live.

He struggled and said: "Your old man saw Teng Yuyi in Zhixu Pavilion that night, didn't you say that she is a blessed face after you came here?"

Speaking of this, he paused in surprise, yes, Abbot Yuanjue also said that Tengyu had a good face, but such a good face had a very fierce fate, and the abbot also said that Teng Yu had a good face. Feel puzzled.

Just listen to Shigong said: "So Shigong thinks that this child is a bit weird. On the surface, he is really a good-lucky person, but judging from his fate, he is also a short-lived person."

The emperor remembered something when he heard the words: "Master, I remember what your old man said before. It is extremely rare for this kind of appearance to deviate from fate. It is usually caused by resentment, a bit like... a curse."

Qing Xuzi murmured: "I will understand with an example. About twenty years ago, there was a rich family in Changle Fang who asked the master to come to get rid of evil spirits. The rich family's surname was Cheng, and they had a son called Cheng Dalang. He was healthy and smart since he was a child, and he never fell ill before the age of fourteen. Unexpectedly, when he turned fourteen, Cheng Dalang suddenly fell ill with a strange disease. Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng tried so many ways to seek medical treatment for their son, but unfortunately no matter what Famous doctors or quack doctors couldn't figure out what kind of disease Cheng Dalang was suffering from. Some people guessed whether Cheng Dalang was possessed by evil spirits, so Master Cheng went to Qingyun Temple to ask his teacher to come to see him.

"After I arrived at Cheng's residence as a teacher, I first looked around inside and out, but I didn't see any signs of injustice. Then I looked at Cheng Dalang's face. He was a long-lived man, but his seal was black, clearly entangled with injustice. The teacher knew something strange, so he asked Mr. Cheng for Cheng Dalang's birth date. After a row, he found that Cheng Dalang would not live for fifteen years. Now it was the year of disaster, and he was afraid that he would not escape. Mrs. Cheng herself Weeping unceasingly, Master Cheng was shocked and hated: it must be, it must be the ghost of that farm slave!

"As a teacher, looking at the situation of the two of them, I suddenly remembered a spell called 'Wrong Hook Curse', and asked the Cheng family if they had offended anyone before. When the couple did not move to Chang'an more than 20 years ago, they made a big enemy because they robbed the land in the countryside. The old farmer was robbed of the land by the Cheng family, and he refused to be a tenant, so he was cornered by the Cheng family. He found a hemp rope and hanged himself at the gate of Cheng's house. Before he died, he was full of resentment, saying that his death would surely curse the Cheng family's offspring, even if the Cheng family was lucky enough to give birth to an heir, they would never survive.

"The Cheng couple have been brooding over this incident, and I don't know if it's a coincidence. Five or six years after this incident, the two have never had any children. They finally conceived, and they will definitely have a miscarriage. Then they took another concubine’s house, and the result was the same. Master Cheng and Mrs. Cheng thought of the curse that the farmer had done back then, and felt something was wrong in their hearts. I got pregnant, and the pregnancy went well, and the child I gave birth will be Cheng Dalang.

"According to the two couples, Cheng Dalang has been healthy since he was a child. At first, the couple still remembered the curse of the farmer from time to time. As the days went by and Cheng Dalang grew up day by day, they forgot about it , how did you know that something went wrong when Cheng Dalang was fourteen years old. Master Cheng asserted that the matter was related to the old farmer's curse, and cried and begged for a way for his teacher, saying that he made the beam, so how could it be repaid to his son? , as long as his son can live, he is willing to sacrifice his life.

"I didn't wait for the teacher to figure out what to do, and Cheng Dalang died that night."

The queen sighed when she heard this, but Lin Chengyou was secretly shocked. He also knows this kind of curse. The person who casts the curse is often full of hatred. In order to curse his enemy, he is willing to sacrifice his own eternal life. The resentment is also very strong. The so-called wrong hook means that this kind of spell cannot be directly implemented on the enemy itself, but will be misplaced on the enemy's descendants.

The cursed people will be hit with evil spirits within three generations, and either die of accidents or serious illnesses.

No one is immune.

And there is no solution to this curse, because the person who cast the curse has lost all his chances of reincarnation, and has punished himself with the cruelest means.

This is a means of revenge.

The queen said anxiously: "If this is the case with Mrs. Teng, could it be that the Teng family has a big enmity with others?"

The emperor thought about it and said: "The men of the Teng family often cut thousands of chickens on the battlefield. After years of fighting, it is inevitable that they will kill too much, but this kind of fighting on the battlefield will not arouse such deep hatred logically. "

Lin Chengyou thought to himself, no matter in the court or on the battlefield, as long as there is a conflict of interests, Teng Shao will inevitably form a relationship with others, but if he wants to take revenge on Teng Shao, there are other means, why bother to pay for his own life? Come under such a blood curse.

Unless...unless you hate it to the core.

Qing Xuzi obviously thought of this too: "As a teacher, I'm not familiar with the court, what is the character of Teng Shao?"

The emperor showed approval: "The Teng family is full of loyalty. When Teng Yuanhao was an official in the court, his government was strict and strict. Later, when the Hu rebellion plotted against the country, Duke Teng took his eldest son and second son to fight against the Hu rebellion. Martyrdom, this act is even more violent. As for Teng Shao, I remember a sentence that the master taught his disciples to judge a person's character, not by the person's attitude towards the superior, but by his attitude towards the inferior. Teng Shao was invincible in killing enemies on the battlefield, but he treated his subordinates, captives, and common people with kindness and generosity. The place where he marched was not surprised. Countless people can testify to this, and one person can pretend One or two years, there is no way to pretend to be ten or twenty years, but Teng Shao is always the same, so I absolutely do not believe that Teng Shao has done something outrageous."

Qing Xuzi murmured: "That's strange, if the Teng family is loyal and good, how could they invite this kind of spell on their children."

Lin Chengyou was already in a state of confusion, tried his best to sort out the thoughts in his head, raised his head and said to the teacher: "Your old man just found that Teng Yuyi's face does not match her fate. Is there any other possibility in it?"

Qing Xuzi snorted: "Master is about to reach his octogenarian age. It's the first time I've seen such a fierce fate, and it's also the first time I've seen such a blessed face. This kind of situation is really rare. , it can only show that this child was cursed before he was born, even if he was not hit by the wrong hook curse, he must have incurred similar injustice."

"Then—" Lin Chengyou asked unwillingly, "Is there any way to break this wrong spell?"

The emperor and the empress looked at each other in disgust.

Qing Xuzi raised his eyelids: "Why, ask me the way, is it possible that you want to help her survive?"

That's it, Lin Chengyou's chest was throbbing, and he forced a smile: "The disciples think that Mrs. Teng didn't do anything evil, and she shouldn't bear this vicious curse. She died since she was a child." A Niang, if I don’t live to be sixteen years old, it’s really pitiful, if there is a way to save her, I, my grandson, can’t just sit idly by."

Qing Xuzi looked straight at his apprentice and grandson.

Lin Chengyou met his master's gaze.

He knows that there must be a way, but it is definitely not a well-known way.

The fate is wrong and the curse cannot be solved, so I can only change her life directly.

Guanli has hidden the secret book about the technique of exchanging lives with one's life.

If the master refuses to tell him, he will find his own way.

Thinking of Teng Yuyi's difficult situation these past few months, isn't she fighting like this to survive, if she still dies in the end--

His heart seemed to be pulled by someone.

All right, Teng Yuyi can dislike him temporarily, but it is better to live a long life.

Qing Xuzi couldn't see what his disciples were thinking, put down the teacup, and sighed: "You——"

Hearing this tone, is there a turning point? Now not only Lin Chengyou was overjoyed, but the empress also put her heart into her throat: "Does your old man have a better countermeasure?"

"On the night of her birthday, the master carefully looked at Mrs. Teng. If she had reached the year of the catastrophe, she would definitely have a black face and even a bad breath, but according to what I saw that night, Mrs. Teng had no such signs on her body. It is also contradictory to her fate, after doing the fortune-telling for her today, Shigong finds it very puzzling." Qing Xuzi looked at Lin Chengyou and said, "Well, go and find out what kind of danger Teng Niangzi and Ji have encountered, How did you turn the danger into a bargain, remember, it must be something that happened after you turned fifteen."

Lin Chengyou thought about it for a while, and his heart suddenly shook: "Master, what you mean is——"

"Someone borrowed her life." Qingxuzi's eyes were like a torch, "Master, I have only seen two people who have been cast by the wrong spell in this life. In the year of disaster, no one will face it like Mrs. Teng." There is no clue, so today Shigong thought for a long time, the most likely is that someone secretly helped her change her fate."

"Miss Teng is Teng Shao's only daughter." The emperor nodded blankly, "With Teng Shao's ability, it is not too difficult to find some capable people to help my daughter change her life. There are illegal principles, I think even if the Teng family did it, no one would know about it."

Lin Chengyou not only quickly thought of what his uncle said, but also remembered that Teng Yuyi fell into the water on the way back to Chang'an. The time was February, which happened to be shortly after she passed away.

According to General Teng, after her daughter was salvaged, many ghosts and monsters suddenly appeared on the boat, and since then, Teng Yuyi would have nightmares whenever she left Xiao Yajian.

Teng Yuyi herself told him that she was afraid of water because of that drowning.

Did Master really guess right? That time was Teng Yuyi's death, because someone borrowed her life secretly, so she survived.

That's right, the person who borrowed his life has injustices in his body, so he will naturally continue to provoke evil spirits.

According to this, the catastrophe hit by Teng Yuyi has been resolved?

Thinking about it, his complexion gradually became less ugly, however, the heavy feeling in his heart didn't diminish in the slightest.

Could it be that Teng Yuyi also knew that someone had saved her life, so she refused to confide the truth to her?

In order to protect your grandpa?

It is possible.

He suddenly couldn't say a word.

If the excuse is true, will my uncle pursue it or not.

If you don't pursue it, it goes against the imperial court's strategy of suppressing sorcery.

If you pursue it——

It seems that we can only delay for a while.

At least wait until he finds out what's going on from Teng Yuyi.

"This——" He frowned deliberately, "I haven't heard of any serious disasters that Mrs. Teng has encountered recently. After all, my disciples and grandchildren don't know her very well. Why don't we ask someone to ask about it?" .”

"Inquire as soon as possible."

The queen's hanging heart fell to the ground, and she said gratifiedly: "I really hope that Mrs. Teng will be saved. You'er finally fell in love with a little lady. If she doesn't live to be sixteen years old, it would be too embarrassing." People are sad. Now that Madam Teng has turned danger into good luck, Youer will have no worries."

The emperor and Qing Xuzi looked at each other, this matter may not be so simple, You'er has already reached the year of catastrophe, so I'm afraid it should be on this.

Worry is nothing to worry about. As soon as this matter was discussed, the dignified atmosphere in the hall was swept away.

The ladies warmed up the porridge and brought it up again.

The queen asked the prince if he was still riding horses in the field, and asked someone to send him a midnight snack.

After the meal, Lin Chengyou sent Qing Xuzi down.

Here Liu Bingyu said to her husband: "Your's marriage is a little shadowy, and I don't know when there will be any movement on Ah Qi's side. I have recruited all the young ladies from Xiangxiang Academy to the mountain, just because I want to Let Ah Qi take a picture by himself, who knows that after only one night, these evil spirits appear in the palace, if we start down the mountain tomorrow, we will let down these arrangements."

The emperor looked at his wife tenderly: "It's not just that you have an arrangement here, I also need to discuss an important matter with a minister on the mountain. Although Chikuo is difficult to deal with, it is not as easy to reveal as Naizhong Hey, I have already sent people down the mountain to deliver letters to the city. The Dayin Temple and the various Daoist temples will make countermeasures at night. On the Xinggong side, the formations and talismans have also been distributed. I wonder if there will be a ruler in a while. If Kuo breaks in again, you don’t have to move tomorrow, and you can leave for the city early in the morning.”

Liu Bingyu was overjoyed, nodded and said: "This is the best. Ah Qi is a pure and good-natured child. As a mother, I only hope that he will find a woman who agrees with him in the future. Also, Min Lang is not young anymore, once the two nephews are settled, he is too embarrassed to delay. The young ladies in Xiangxiang Academy look good, but their conduct may not be apparent on the surface—taking advantage of this day They are all on the mountain, I thought of a good way."

The emperor smiled in surprise: "You want to test them?"

Liu Bingyu thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "You can't use the usual method. Recruit these little girls tomorrow morning, and then--"

***

When Lin Chengyou arrived at the dormitory, he hadn't figured out how to ask Teng Yuyi, and besides the current situation of the two of them, it was absolutely impossible for Teng Yuyi to tell her the truth. , he was more tired than playing ten bouts of horse racing on a daily basis. If he hadn’t remembered that he still had to take a bath, he really wanted to fall asleep and stand by the bed with his eyes closed. Your Highness, His Highness the County King, and His Highness the Crown Prince of Nanzhao Kingdom are here."

Lin Chengyou lazily tied the jade belt around his waist again, took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and greeted the outer hall. It happened that the palace people led the prince and others in.

Gu Xian took the lead to salute, but his tone was narrow: "I heard that you have a headache, which is too painful to take part in the marathon, so let's come and see you."

The crown prince also smiled, and even the king of Chun'an County also smiled.

Lin Chengyou was puzzled.

The four of them sat down on the mat next to the moon hole window. The window was facing the flower pond, and the ground was covered with silvery moonlight.

Sitting down, Lin Chengyou glanced around and said with a smile, "What are you doing looking at me like this? What happened?"

The prince said: "I heard that you fell in love with Wu Zhongcheng's second lady?"

"Who?"

Gu Xiandao: "It is said that this Erniang Wu sprained her foot in the garden. In order to please her, you took the initiative to take out your jade card to invite Yu Fengyu. How do you know that Erniang Wu is unwilling to accept this kindness? I would rather put my feet on my back, tonight everyone in the arena is telling how polite and dignified Wu Erniang is, and how you can't ask for her."

Lin Chengyou was stunned. Which song did this come from? He subconsciously looked at the emperor's uncle, and even the emperor's uncle nodded to show that it was true.

"It is estimated that tomorrow the entire palace will know that you admire Wu Erniang."

"Wu Yuanluo has already solemnly stated that it is absolutely impossible for my younger sister to marry Cheng Wang's son."

Wu Yuanluo?

Lin Chengyou snorted and made a mistake, this guy was actually cheaper than he thought.
