[Chapter 50 - Practice or Not Practice] Half-human and half-ghost is better than dead

"What happened?" Chu Yuan asked.

"This matter should have been played a few days earlier, but the emperor has been in poor health, so he thought about handing it over to the magistrate to deal with, but he didn't expect the matter to get worse." Tao Rende said worriedly, "In this city, it seems that someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost and wants to disturb the holy driver. ”

Chu Yuan frowned when he heard this, and Duan Baiyue was also behind the screen, remembering the words he heard the people chatting at the noodle restaurant this morning.

Is there really a ghost in love?

"A few days ago, a husband was killed in this Yunde City, and his death was very tragic." Tao Rende said, "In order to avoid panic among the people, local officials did not make this matter public, but have been secretly investigating. It's just that before the results can be found, another person was killed last night, and it is said that he is a well-known gangster in the city, named Zhou Da. The situation at the time of the death, the condition of the corpse, was exactly the same as the husband a few days ago, with □□ eyes bulging all over his body, and black palm prints on his chest. ”

Duan Baiyue was stunned.

"It doesn't sound like an ordinary murder for money, and I'm afraid it won't work just handing it over to local officials." Chu Yuan shook his head, "There are also people from Dali Temple, let them check." ”

"Yes." Tao Rende took the order.

"Since there is chaos in the city, the rest of the people should be more careful." Chu Yuan said, "If you don't haunt sooner or later, if you don't haunt it later, if something happens when I come, the other party's purpose is the people or this palace, no one can say for sure at present." ”

"Wechen understands." Tao Rende said, "I'll go to the commander to discuss later." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, and after he stepped back, he turned his head and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"For the sake of the gods who can protect you and me, I am willing to give three points, but the ghosts never believe in them." Duan Baiyue came out from behind the screen, "And the deaths of those two people sound a little similar to Lan Ji's white bone claws." ”

Chu Yuan frowned: "She's really not dead?" ”

"It's also my fault." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't worry, you won't throw this mess to the local government." ”

"How can it be your fault?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "The Heavenly Brake Sect Master is not you. ”

"But if it's really Lan Ji, blame me for being too careless and failing to kill her." Duan Baiyue said, "That demon girl's kung fu is extremely evil, even if she is the commander of the sect, I am afraid that she will not be able to block a few moves." ”

Chu Yuan frowned.

"Leave it to me." Duan Baiyue patted him on the shoulder, "I promise, I will never let her cause trouble to the people." ”

"In addition to the people, there is you." Chu Yuan said, "Don't get hurt. ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Okay." ”

"Do you want me to do anything?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Baiyue leaned his side face closer to him.

Chu Yuan: "......"

"Just do this one." Duan Baiyue urged, her voice very gentle.

Chu Yuan pinched his chin, turned it slightly, closed his eyes and kissed his lips.

The summer breeze outside the window was gusting, and it was a rare moment of silence between the two.

Before traveling to the palace, Duan Baiyue went to the remote courtyard first.

The old man was still playing chess, and there was a rice dumpling candy next to him, which had melted away a little due to the hot weather during the day.

"You're in the next life, and you're going to have something to do." Hearing the voice, the old man slowly raised his head.

"It's nothing, just to come and see the seniors." Duan Baiyue said, "If the seniors don't like to be disturbed, I'll go." ”

"Do you know how to play chess?" The old man asked.

Duan Baiyue sat opposite him and said, "No." ”

The old man shook his head: "Since you won't, why sit down again." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "A few days ago, thanks to the reminder of the seniors, the beloved under was able to take out the Moon Ming Gu, and I made a special trip to thank you in the future. ”

"Beloved." The old man smiled, "It turns out that he is still a lover, when do you plan to get married?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "I didn't think about it. ”

"I didn't think about it, so I thought about it quickly." The old man dipped his finger in some zongzi candy next to him, put it in his mouth and smashed it, "Don't be like me, I have exhausted my youth to wake up, but even if I wake up, I can't find the person I was back then." ”

Duan Baiyue nodded: "Thank you for the teachings of your predecessors." ”

"Xuanming Cold Iron, can you take a look at old decay?" The old man asked again.

"Nature." Duan Baiyue untied the sword at his waist and handed it over.

The old man slowly rubbed the mottled sword body and asked, "Where did you find it?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Gifted by the family teacher." ”

"Then you're a good master." The old man said, "How many people kowtow hundreds of heads when they apprentice, and they will take a sword forged by the Sword Worship Villa when they break the sky." It's just that although this sword is good, if you don't have a relationship with it, you can't open it, and it's wasted. ”

Duan Baiyue said: "How is it called fate? ”

The old man said, "Your master didn't sue you?" ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head.

The old man asked again: "Then what does your master have to do with Han Ming Old Immortal?" ”

Duan Baiyue replied: "I have never heard this person mentioned by the tutor. ”

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then your master's sword is afraid that it was stolen." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

It's a real possibility.

The old man shook his wrist, tested his pulse, and said, "Even if this sword is stolen, if it can be held by you, it will not be considered a discount." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Thank you seniors for the compliment." ”

"If you have suffered internal injuries, beware of being injured by sword qi in the future." The old man let go of his hand, "There is still the golden silkworm thread in your heart, I don't want to take it out, I plan to eat and drink well and raise it for a lifetime." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "The predecessors are really peerless. ”

The old man raised his eyelids: "I'm going to ask, where can I find the antidote." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Fei Burmese? ”

The old man said: "If this golden silkworm thread can't be solved, don't delay your sweetheart." At most, it will take seven or eight years to get married, and the days and nights that go from then to future will be long, how can a person survive. ”

Duan Baiyue said: "I will find a way to live longer." ”

The old man sighed when he heard this, and slowly stood up on the table: "That's it, let's go back." ”

"Senpai." Duan Baiyue said, "Recently, there have been demons in this city, and I ask my seniors to be more careful." ”

The old man paused, frowned, and said, "Demon? ”

Duan Baiyue said: "In the next meeting, I will secretly send people to protect the village where Aunt Feng's mother-in-law is located. ”

The old man nodded, and continued to stagger back into the room.

The night is as silent as water.

There is a pagoda in Yunde City, which is said to have been built to suppress demons. Hundreds of years have passed, and it has long been mottled, and the people have to take a detour when they pass by, for fear that they will be smashed if they fall down one day. The government did not dare to demolish it lightly, for fear of releasing evil things, so it could only use a wooden fence to fence it for the time being, planning to invite monks and carpenters from the royal city to renovate it when the weather was cooler. Duan Baiyue jumped to the top of the tower and took in the scene in the city.

Now that the haunting has been reported to the emperor, there is no need to continue to hide it. The government posted the list in the afternoon, and the people were all worried after reading it. Before it was dark, they all returned to their rooms, and the streets were full of patrolling officers and soldiers, with torches, and the sky was half red.

Duan Yao squatted beside him silently.

Duan Baiyue frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

Duan Yao said: "Naturally, it's help." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "There is not a shadow yet, there is no clue, and it is almost the same to say that it is troublesome." ”

That's going to stay too. Duan Yao held his face with his hands and said, "Master asked me to come, and said what if the golden silkworm thread in your body wakes up and dies outside." ”

Duan Baiyue twitched the corners of her mouth: "When you go back to the southwest this time, you and Master will go to Master Wang to learn some poetry and songs, and you may not be so disgusting when you speak." ”

Duan Yao pursed her lips, continued to yawn, looked down and said, "This Yunde City is not small, it is not easy to find a person, let alone such fanfare. ”

Duan Baiyue said: "At least it can also play a deterrent role and make the people feel at ease." As for the people behind the trouble, naturally they can't just look for it. ”

Duan Yao asked, "What are your plans?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "If it is really Lan Ji, then the person she hates the most now is me." ”

"But those ministers in the DPRK and China don't necessarily love you much." Duan Yao reminded, "If you release the news that you are in Yunde City, I am afraid that Lan Ji has not appeared yet, and Lord Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu and Zheng Wang will go crazy first." ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "What does Lan Ji want most?" ”

Duan Yao thought for a moment: "Bodhicitta Sutra? ”

Duan Baiyue nodded.

Duan Yao said: "So? ”

"I am the only one in the world who has practiced the Bodhicitta Sutra." Duan Baiyue said, "The ministers of the DPRK and China don't know, it's impossible for Lan Ji not to know." ”

Duan Yao didn't seem to understand: "Hmm." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "But there are too many people in this Yunde City, if there is a real fight, the people will inevitably be injured, so they have to find a more remote place." ”

Duan Yao reminded: "If a person who practices Gu comes back from the dead, his skill will increase greatly, this is in exchange for Yangshou, and ordinary people can't compare to it." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Worried that I will lose? ”

Duan Yao said: "Even if the golden silkworm thread is counted in a few months, it should wake up, even the master is worried, but there is a mess at this time." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay. ”

Duan Yao's chest tightened: "It's okay?" "I don't know who the person who vomited blood was last time.

Duan Baiyue said: "I poked out the basket, so naturally I have to find a way to plug it, which has nothing to do with when the golden silkworm thread occurs." ”

Duan Yao sighed from the bottom of his heart, what about life, don't you want it.

Duan Baiyue jumped off the Demon Suppression Tower, swept all the way to the roof, and her figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.

In the dormitory, Chu Yuan had not yet rested, and was leaning on the bathtub to be distracted.

Duan Baiyue pushed the window in.

Chu Yuan was a little surprised.

Duan Baiyue frowned: "Seeing the candle flame lit from afar, why hasn't it rested until now?" ”

Chu Yuan said: "When you don't come back tonight." ”

"There are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city, and if the person who pretends to be a ghost dares to come out, he will really see a ghost." Duan Baiyue took the hand towel on the side and wiped the water droplets off his face for him, "But I have a way to lure her to show up." ”

"What?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Baiyue said: "Lan Ji wanted the Bodhicitta Sutra the most before, and now she should want my life the most, and it is all related to the Southwest Mansion. ”

Chu Yuan sat up a little and said, "So what? Do you still want to swagger across the street to lure her out? ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head and whispered two words in his ear.

Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's okay." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, let's try it first." Duan Baiyue said, "The wounds on those two corpses, the family teacher also sneaked into the mansion to see it, and there is a * chance that it is Lan Ji." ”

Chu Yuan said: "You also have to be careful. ”

Duan Baiyue held his hand: "I naturally have to be careful, not only to be careful, but also to live a long life." ”

Chu Yuan smiled: "Hmm." ”

"Shall we go to bed first?" Duan Baiyue asked, "When I came over before, I saw that there were still figures moving in Master's courtyard, so I went to tell him and come back to accompany you." ”

Chu Yuan nodded, his chin resting on the edge of the bathtub, and watched him out of the dormitory.

Nanmo evil is indeed gnawing on roast chicken in the courtyard.

Duan Baiyue said, "Master really has a good appetite. ”

Nanmo said evilly: "If you have nothing to do, and you and Yao'er can't rest assured, you can only buy a roast chicken to gnaw." ”

Duan Baiyue put the saber on the table: "Where did it come from?" ”

"Where else could it come from?" Nanmo spat out the bone, "Stolen." ”

Really. Duan Baiyue was not surprised by this answer at all.

"It's much better than the Cloud Splitting Knife." Nanmo said evilly, "The knife of your Duan family also looks majestic, this Xuanming Cold Iron is an ancient thing, if it is placed in the rivers and lakes, it can be as famous as Qin Shaoyu's Red Shadow Sword, and it can be taken back quickly." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "There is one more thing. ”

Nanmo asked, "What?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Regarding Tianchensha, I will find it no matter what." ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense, human life is a matter of heaven." Nanmo said, "But I'm not in a hurry for a moment, looking at your vein, you can live for seven or eight years, and some time is to find it slowly." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Unless I find Tianchensha, I won't get married." ”

Nan Mo Xie wiped his oil hands on the placket of his clothes and shook his head: "It's as if you want to achieve it." ”

Duan Baiyue asked, "Apart from the Fei Burmese Kingdom, where else can there be such a thing?" ”

Nanmo said: "It is not certain whether there is a country in Fima and Burma, let alone elsewhere. As the teacher said a long time ago, I can't be in a hurry, I have to find it slowly. ”

Duan Baiyue said: "I'm in a hurry. ”

"You know you're in a hurry." Nanmo Xie tore off a chicken paw, "I have to go back to the southwest first." ”

"Don't hide it from Master, it seems that the golden silkworm thread is about to wake up again." Duan Baiyue said.

"What?" Nan Mo was shocked, threw away the chicken in his hand and stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and after a moment of temptation, frowned and said, "Shouldn't it be this time, several months in advance?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "The Eight Desolation Formations have been resolved, and the barriers outside the country have been broken. If I am poisoned at this time, I am afraid that within a month, the army of Great Chu will be pressed against the Nanyang Sea Realm. ”

Nanmo said: "It sounds really touching. ”

Duan Baiyue sighed: "Since the Eight Desolations Formation was cracked, the armies from all walks of life have moved from south to north to mobilize troops, he thinks I don't know, but I can't pretend not to know. ”

"How many things have you done over the years, why can't you let him be willful for you?" Nan Moyi let go of his hand, pulled his sleeve and wiped the mimeograph on his wrist.

Duan Baiyue said: "There is no Jiangshan Sheji behind me, no matter how willful he is, it is nothing more than a life, he is willful, he is devastated, and he is also infamous through the ages." ”

"How can there be such a strict zhòng." Nanmo shook his head again and again, "I said that back, you don't have to scare yourself." ”

"The country of Fei Burma is located in the depths of the South Sea, and it has been silent for so many years, separated from the Great Chu by more than a dozen small island countries, and no one knows what it is." Duan Baiyue said, "Although there are many Great Chu troops, most of them are only good at land warfare, and the only navy is all pressed on the sea border of the East China Sea, guarding against the Japanese and sea bandits. If we really start a war with Nanyang, not to mention whether the strength of the East China Sea will be weakened, and not to mention what the other islands in the South China Sea think, just a small country of Fei and Burma, if you can't win, it will be useless to lose your troops and lose your pockets, and if you win, you will invade other countries for no reason, and spend your troops to grab a small island hundreds of miles away from Chu State, and you can't eat, wear, or see. So no matter what the outcome of this battle is, the moment the Chu State declares war, it has actually been lost. ”

Nanmo choked up and said, "If you can think of it, others can naturally think of it." Your sweetheart is the emperor, how could he put himself in such a situation in order to grab the cinnabar for you? ”

Duan Baiyue said: "He will." ”

Nanmo Evil: "......"

"He will." Duan Baiyue repeated again, "So Master wants to help me." ”

"How else can I help you, you don't want Hehuan Gu." Nanmo complained, "If you suffer less, you can live two years longer." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "No one knows what Tianchen Sand looks like. ”

Nanmo asked, "And then?" ”

"If the golden silkworm thread is dormant this time, forget it, if it wakes up, the master will send someone to go outside and come back to find something, just say it's Tianchensha." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't let him meddle in this matter again." ”

"Even if the medicine you find is blown up, it won't cure you." Nanmo's evil heart is plugged.

Duan Baiyue said: "If it can't be cured, it means that Tianchensha is useless, at least he won't think about fighting Fei Burma again." ”

"If you don't fight the country of Fei Burma, where does the real Tianchensha come from?" Nan Mo Xie circled around him, "You can think clearly, if you make such a fuss, don't expect the imperial court to help find it in the future." ”

Duan Baiyue said: "More than a year ago, Xiao Yuan wrote a handwritten letter to the Lord of Fei and Burma, what was the result? ”

Nanmo Evil: "......"

"The absence of news shows that the other party is not willing to help at all, and in this case, the name of the court should be useless." Duan Baiyue said, "Why bother to make it difficult for him again." ”

"Speaking of which, you're still reluctant." Nan Mo shook his head, "The rest of the things are easy to say, this matter is about your life, what if you can't find the antidote and die?" ”

Duan Baiyue said: "Master's words are really straightforward. ”

Nanmo thought about the words and said, "Drive the crane to the west." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Master can live for two years after being buried, and the apprentice may be able to try." ”

"Try a fart, the Bodhicitta Sutra is the last time in order to heal the wounds, I barely practiced two tricks, and I still want to live." Nan Mo evil said, "Okay, Tianchensha can think of other ways, but this Bodhicitta Sutra, you must continue to practice, not just those few pages, but from beginning to end nine hundred and eighty-one moves, not a single move can be missed." ”

Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Practicing magic skills, half human and half ghost?" ”

"It's better to be half-human than half-ghost." Nan Mo is a slap in the face, "The golden silkworm thread has begun to be restless, and there is no room for negotiation in this matter, otherwise I will go and sue your sweetheart, saying that you don't have a good yang root, so it's better to divide it as soon as possible." ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Well?
