Chapter 236: White Horse
Zhang Xiuyi wants not a dead person, but a living person, he must be able to speak and move, and he must be able to enter the palace, and his soul is useless. ”
Qu Wu sneered, "If it weren't for that, with me, where would I still need you!" ”
One of the most famous skills of the composer is to summon spirits.
Soul conjuring is a spell that many spirit masters do, there are various methods, and even some ordinary people who have not yet awakened their spiritual consciousness are experienced and can play a certain role through some means, but those are all souls that have not completely left the body, but only lost a soul and a half-soul.
The real soul leaves the body, goes down into the "ghost", wants to open the ghost door in the world, recall the soul, and bring it back to life, even for a moment, that is not something that ordinary people can do.
However, the Qu family once had a brilliant spirit master who recalled the souls of the dead who had been dead for more than seven days and resurrected him.
Although the spirit master paid a huge price, and the dead man was resurrected for less than two days, this kind of thing was still praised by one another, and the reputation of the Qu family also rose to a higher level.
It's no wonder that Qu Wu scoffed as soon as he heard Hongchen say that he wanted to summon spirits.
She had already tried before Hongchen came.
Not only did it not succeed, but it did not even show any signs of success.
That's why I'm 100% sure that this is already a dead man, and his soul has entered the underworld, and it is difficult to return to the yang.
If it weren't for that, with her ability, how could she fail!
Hongchen raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "If the requirements are so high, it does take some effort." But I said yes, I'm going to give it a try. ”
Qu Wu sat down slowly and said no more.
Zhang Xiuyi was silent for a long time, standing in the lobby with her eyebrows lowered. Staring at the 'corpse' on the table, his chest heaving and heaving.
Master Qu summoned the soul just now, and he also had great hopes, but he failed.
So this time, Hongchen proposed to summon spirits again, and he was not too excited, but said: "If there is anything you need to prepare, please just ask." ”
He has a very strange face, his facial features are very inconspicuous when he is scattered, his eyes are a little small, and his eyebrows are not dark enough. Some blue lips. Only the bridge of the nose is straight, which can be combined, but it gives people an indescribable tension, as if he has a fierce beast hidden in his heart. It can erupt at any time. An outbreak. It is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Hongchen looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Then bother Zhang Xiuyi to go to the kitchen to get a handful of rice and a straw rope." ”
There was a moment of silence in the lobby. After a while, Zhang Xiuyi asked, "It's gone?" ”
"That's all."
Qu Wu: "......"
The others looked at each other as well.
Master Qu summoned the soul, just to use the compass to calculate the direction, it took more than half a day, and the preparation of all kinds of rune paper magic instruments is countless, and even used a very important soul bell of the Qu family, now the county lord in front of him, the dignified county lord, I heard that the spirit master assessment is even more top, every time the spirit master is paved with gold, as long as a handful of rice and a rope?
Zhang Xiuyi took a restrained breath: "Go get it." ”
It's just two words, but Hongchen heard a lot of meaning from his tone, not that it was a threat, but that it had its own aura, which made people unconsciously obey him.
Hongchen had heard Senior Brother Lin say it before, this Zhang Xiuyi originally had eight tongues, could speak well, and could turn things around with one mouth, but then he suddenly became like gold, and there was no need to say a word or more.
Qu Wu only looked at it coldly.
Soon rice and straw ropes arrived.
Hongchen didn't hurry and didn't panic to take the grass rope, and after a palm, he tied a hollow small knot and did it himself.
Originally, Qu Wu's mood was not very good, she had not been in a good mood for a while recently, and at this time she had a faint sense of disappointment with Hongchen, but her eyes turned with the other party's knots again and again, and her heart actually calmed down.
As soon as she came back to her senses, she was suddenly startled, and saw that the shadow of the sun was far west, this was out of her mind, I was afraid that an hour had passed, and when she looked up, the lord of Rong'an was sitting on the chair leisurely, her fingers danced, and her fingertips moved, and she brought out a spiritual light, which was always so ordinary.
Qu Wuluo lowered his head slightly, and silently recited the Qu family's family meditation mantra several times.
The aura in the world, if you want to use it for yourself, how many spiritual masters temper their bodies, exercise their souls, and work hard, and they may not be lucky enough to get started, but there are always talented people who act normally and can inadvertently do things that others can't do in a lifetime.
She finally understood a little bit of the complicated and strange eyes of her brothers and sisters when they saw her.
Qu Wu squinted, suppressed his chaotic thoughts in an instant, and stared intently ahead.
She's here to see, take a good look.
The whole rope is finished,.
Hongchen stood up and let Zhang Xiuyi and Qu Wu sit together, but handed the straw rope to the masked embroidered clothes who had been guarding the side without saying a word.
"Take it, no matter what happens, don't let go."
Zhang Xiuyi turned his head and glanced at him: "Your life!" ”
This embroidered roof Yushi nodded, silent.
Hongchen smiled: "The time is just right, you can start." ”
Everyone was very nervous, although they didn't mention it, in fact, even Qu Wu was very nervous.
In her heart, she regarded the Lord of Ronghua as an opponent, and attached great importance to it, and she couldn't wait to take her eyes and give Ling Chi away from the red dust now, dissect her heart, and study it carefully.
And then......
Then Hongchen stretched his waist and stood up, grabbed the rice in the bowl and sprinkled it all the way, sprinkled it three times from the lobby, and then tied the other end of the straw rope to the wrist of the 'corpse', took out a piece of rune paper, pasted it to the corpse's heart, and clapped his hands and said, "Okay." ”
It all adds up, just a moment.
Qu Wu's face was furious, and the anger had not yet come out, only a mutter, and the woman who was only angry on the case, and the woman who was not angry actually moaned a few times and woke up.
It's just that he seems to be unsettled and his eyes are hazy.
The embroidered clothes wearing the mask trembled and threw the straw rope in an instant.
It was visible to the naked eye on his hand, and a layer of burning bubbles appeared, Hongchen just didn't see it, and the others didn't have the heart to pay attention to it at all.
Especially Qu Wu, she couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? You didn't even pay for the road! ”
Spiritualism. One of the biggest common senses is that you have to pay for the road, and the longer you are away from the soul, the more money you need.
This money is not the silver money of the world, let alone paper money, but something special.
For example, their Qu family, every time they summon spirits, they use special incense candles made at home, and it takes at least a year to make an incense.
There are other treasures that can be used, but like Hongchen, it is easy. Not even a piece of paper money was given. Just take a little white rice to guide the way, a straw rope, and a piece of rune paper to the maximum input, and you can summon the soul back. Isn't that ridiculous?
But this absurdity is happening right in front of my eyes.
Qu Wu was silent for a long time. Walk over and check on the woman. After looking carefully for a long time, it is all the sequelae of the return of the soul after leaving the soul normally, in addition to that. Nothing else, she was a little suspicious that she was wrong at the beginning, this person only lost a small part of his soul slightly, not to the point of death, if the soul conjuring is really that simple, what is their Qu family!
“…… You really did it! ”
"It's a bit troublesome, and I have to calculate the hours, and it's tiring to weave straw ropes."
Qu Wu glared at her, the expression on his face was slightly distorted, but Hongchen didn't take it seriously, she was still very sure, and it was not easy to take on this obviously troublesome errand if she was not sure.
As early as a few years ago, she found out that other spirit masters treat contacting the gods and communicating with the underworld as the most profound and mysterious spells, which is very solemn, and only a few spirit masters dare to use this kind of method, but Hongchen feels extremely ordinary, and she can't feel the oppression, fear and suffocation that people feel when communicating with other spirit masters, let alone use it once to consume her lifespan, spiritual power or something, so she didn't know how to communicate with other spirit masters about this kind of spell experience.
A layer of dense beads of sweat oozed from the corner of Zhang Xiuyi's forehead, staring closely at the girl who had just woken up.
Hongchen checked it again, and when he saw that there was no problem, he began to pack his bags, and after finishing it, he stared at the mask Yushi and said: "Ghost fire burns, since your hand is injured, it means that you have a covenant with the deceased, but you didn't fulfill it, now I tell you that you listen, this woman can only live for three days, you have to complete the agreement within three days, eliminate the resentment in her heart, otherwise...... At one's own risk. ”
The masked embroidered robe was silent, but it could be seen from his suddenly shrunken body that there was indeed a lot of horror in his heart.
Zhang Xiuyi sent someone to send Hongchen back, but Qu Wu didn't leave, looking at her appearance, she wanted to stay in the embroidery building for three days.
Hongchen returned to the county lord's mansion, and Luo Niang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
Both were terrified.
"The county lord is a daughter, how can he go to such a place?"
Luo Niang is still trembling when she thinks about it now.
Hongchen waved his hand and asked them to hurry up and eat something: "Try to be as simple as possible, just be full." ”
She was also so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, and she was embarrassed to shout hungry in the embroidery shop.
Fortunately, the soup in the kitchen is always hot, and most of the things that the master likes to eat are also always available, and after a while, a bowl of noodles will come up, with various cut side dishes, beef, and sauce, and Hongchen will eat a bowl hot, which is finally a lot more comfortable.
Comfortably leaning on the couch, with a windward pillow, Hongchen had the energy to glance at the Yujue space.
The progress of the mission has really improved.
But in fact, this time there is no detailed task description at all, Hongchen really discovered this time, in fact, although she occasionally has serious tasks in this jade jue space, most of the time, she is actually tentatively, according to her mind, what she pays attention to arrange tasks.
It's funny, it's like a part of my own thoughts, not something else, but myself!
She is still used to calling her space a jade jue space, but in fact, now that jade jue and books have melted into her body, she can't see it, she can't touch it, and it has become an illusory thing, but it's called getting used to it, just be casual, and you don't need to change your words.
After completing this mission, you will have ten points, and ten points will buy a bundle of horse grass in the mall!
In other words, she worked so hard to do the task, and when she finished it, it was only worth a bundle of horse grass, and she would have to be angry if she changed others, and she had no enthusiasm, but Hongchen only thought it was very interesting.
After thinking about it, she was still a little uneasy, so Hongchen told Xiao Yan a few words, and asked her to stare at the Ronghua County Lord, and if there was any change, she would notify her immediately.
Hongchen didn't feel that there was a big danger when he saw it that day, even if the masked embroidered Yushi didn't finish his little thing, at most he would suffer a little. Don't worry about your life.
But after all, she has seven or eight points of suspicion, the one wearing the mask is the county horse Wang Guodong, who has been in the limelight recently, if this is the case, she must also take care of the county lord's mansion not to be affected, and it is better to pay attention to it.
For some reason, there is always a lack of mirrors in the embroidery building, as if everyone in the building is in a hurry, rarely stationed, and there is no need for such daily necessities.
Apricot kernels did not use copper mirrors before. Today, I suddenly want to see what I look like.
She has been in the building for fifteen years. Since I started working as a shadow three years ago, I haven't looked at my face carefully once in these years.
Qu Wu took out the bronze mirror in his hand and handed it over, it was a gossip mirror. It can also be used as a bronze mirror.
Apricot kernel smile. Take it carefully. He pulled his hair, adjusted the beads on his head, and touched his face again: "It's not old." ”
Qu Wu didn't know why. Suddenly he was a little irritable: "I ask you, do you want to live?" Keep alive. ”
Apricot pit was stunned: "......"
How can a man not want to live?
"I have a secret technique that I have never used before, it is a method of borrowing life, if you can find someone who is willing to lend you half of your life, you can give it a try."
When Qu Wu said this, he also gritted his teeth, and his stomach turned over for a while.
This is indeed a secret technique, she once heard that Xia Hongchen, the county lord's mother, once continued the life of a person, and succeeded, so rummaging through the classics at home, she also found a method, this method needs to pay too much price, and it is said that it is impossible to succeed, she doesn't think it can be successful, but it is impossible to try it easily, after all, the spirit master has to pay a price for doing such a devolous act.
The...... Just think she's stupid once.
Besides, this is a sample of successful spiritualism, how rare!
Apricot Kernel's eyes flashed: "Willing to die for me?" Until someone said yes. ”
Her gaze fell on the figure that had never left the doorway.
Three days flew by.
There was no movement on the side of the embroidery building.
But in his kind of place, it's a good thing that there's no movement.
Hongchen's mood also relaxed, and he has been writing books behind closed doors for the past two days, preparing gifts for Xue Baiqiao.
She thought about it, and the serious gifts were ready, and when she came to the eldest lady of the Yun family, she especially liked the books written by Hongchen, so she wanted to write a copy for the two of them with the translation in the divine language.
This can be carefully scrutinized, even if you don't use spiritual power, you can't scribble the divine text.
For this, several **** in a row have been closed at home.
On this day, there were two sudden thunderstorms, and the rain was subdued, but the weather was unpleasantly hot.
"County Lord, something happened to the County Lord's Mansion."
Hongchen was writing a book at home, and Xiao Yan hurriedly came in, with a strong indignation on his face in panic.
"What's the panic, what can we do in our family?"
Now that the guards at home are idle to catch mice every day, and she honestly doesn't go out of the house, what can such a big thing happen!
Hongchen raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Yan paused and gasped a few times: "It's not our family, it's the Ronghua County Lord's Mansion...... The county horse suddenly chased and killed the county lord with a knife, and also killed the two little maids around the county lord, I heard that the people in the courtyard were dumbfounded, and even the eleven niang let him cut a knife, just cut at the corner of the eye, and I don't know if the eyes can be saved! ”
“……”
Hongchen slowly put down the pen and ink in his hand and took a deep breath.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth: "This matter has alarmed Your Majesty, and it is said that the county horse drank too much wine and ran to play drunk, Your Majesty ordered not to make a noise, and ordered the forbidden army to escort Wang Guodong into the palace, and now it has not come out, and the queen mother also called the county lord of Ronghua in." ”
"I'll go into the palace and have a look."
Hongchen exhaled and said softly.
Something isn't right!
She didn't care about anything else, she put the pomp and circumstance to the fullest, and the whole set of county lord's honor guards were put out, and she went all the way into the palace gate.
As soon as she entered, she didn't go to the queen's bedroom first, she glanced at it, abandoned the car directly, and went straight to the Qinzheng Palace.
His Majesty the Emperor is taking a break right now.
Even if His Majesty was awake, it would not be appropriate for Hongchen to pass like this, and the palace people who led the way followed closely behind, and their faces turned green.
The guards hurriedly stopped it.
Hongchen is the county lord, and he has never been so unruly, and a group of guards are at a loss.
Fortunately, Hongchen stopped as soon as he arrived at the door, so that he had no intention of breaking into the palace impulsively, but just looked up at Wang Guodong who was kneeling not far away, his face was gloomy all of a sudden, and he turned his head and left, going to the queen mother first. When I went in, I replaced all the furnishings in the mother's house with the things in my box, especially the bedroom, the bronze mirror, and the head of the bed were all pasted with yellow charms.
The queen woke up at this moment, leaned on the head of the bed, watched the busy work inside and outside Hongchen, pursed her lips and chuckled.
Ronghua sat in front of the window.
The sun shone down and sprinkled her head and face.
Her complexion was still so gorgeous, and her expression was slightly numb, but there was not much pain. Just don't speak. Just sit quietly.
The queen didn't persuade her, but called Hongchen to ask, "What did we do in the palace?" Not unusual. ”
In this broken place in the palace, where filth and dirt are hidden, the spirit master is not allowed to clean it up every once in a while, and even they feel cold and sad. Not to mention those palace people.
Hongchen frowned. After thinking about it, he said: "Niangniang must not see that county horse these days." The farther away the better. She really didn't expect that Qu Wu would dare to challenge human nature to borrow his life, and he still used that Wang Guodong. The cause and effect of that person's body are layered on top of each other, maybe it is some kind of debt in the previous life, and he will do it again in this life, and the debts that cannot be accumulated can be untouched!
When she mentioned the county horse, everyone knew which one it was, but the expression of the county lord of Ronghua did not move at all.
The queen's heart was also uncomfortable: "He used to be a good boy!" ”
can be selected to be a glorious county horse, the palace has put a lot of effort into it, carefully selected it, it is not an exaggeration to pick one out of ten thousand, Wang Guodong is naturally outstanding.
Since childhood, he has read poetry and books, although he is the son of a family, he has never been the same as the ordinary gentlemen, just waiting to enjoy the inheritance left by his ancestors, studying hard all the way, and also practicing martial arts, both civil and military, deeply trusted by His Majesty, and the future is very good.
It's just a little bit, and the struggle is too much, so that it delays the marriage event.
His Majesty loved him, so he gave him one of the most beautiful pearls in the capital, the lord of Ronghua.
Although the lord of Ronghua is a little unsmooth in marriage for various reasons, he is also a talented woman and a match made in heaven, who would have thought that Wang Guodong would actually change after marriage, lingering in the flowers, and when he saw the county lord, he had a gloomy face, and he was furious, and he didn't even care about face.
The emperor was mad.
Even the Wang family's side couldn't figure out what the sister-in-law who was very important to his family was going to do.
Lord Ronghua almost twisted his hair.
But the two of them have already married, and it really makes the royal family become more and more confused because of the man's greed for flowers and lust, and he is cold and cold in his wife's face, so it doesn't make sense for the two to reconcile and separate.
If it can almost pass, this matter will pass in a daze, men, lust is not a big problem, but now it has developed to the point of killing people with knives, and the emperor can't ignore it.
It can't be said that the court bullied the daughter of a hero.
And the family of Lord Ronghua will not agree.
The father of the lord of Ronghua, King Chengping, died in battle in the early years to quell the rebellion, and now his uncle is in charge of the family, although the uncle also has a son and two daughters, but he treats her very well and loves her very much, which is better than treating his own daughter.
Wang Guodong's matter has not been opened for the time being, so it is calm, but it is impossible to hide this matter for too long.
The queen was rarely silent, sighed for a while, and looked up at Lord Ronghua: "You cry a few times, cry if you can't cry, don't hold back." ”
After a long time, the lord of Ronghua suddenly howled.
"Ink dye, ink dye, ink dye, ink dye!"
She cried heartbreakingly, one after another.
Hongchen hurriedly helped the queen mother cover the quilt.
The queen was choked, and she was smooth for a long time, her old man's memory was still very good, and after thinking about it, she couldn't cry or laugh.
Ink Dye is an old horse of the lord of Ronghua County.
She remembered that when Ronghua was a child, her father gave her either a particularly good horse, very tame, or let her learn to ride a horse, and when she grew up, she would naturally learn to ride and shoot better.
She remembered that Ronghua didn't ride ink dyeing in the morning, and the most commonly used mount was a carmine red cloud.
"Ink Dye won't accompany me."
Lord Ronghua was still crying.
Hongchen watched a particularly vigorous and beautiful big white horse circling around her, spinning around, spinning around, and brushing his tail on her face, shaking and shaking teardrops, feeling a little depressed and depressed, and suddenly dispersed, and almost couldn't help laughing.
It's not funny!
Nor can the lord of the county see this.
She had experience now, and if her master could see it, the horse would never leave.
It will always be by its owner's side.
That's actually not good, life has a beginning and an end, and when it should go, it still has to go.
After staying here with the queen for a while, Hongchen was calm and soothing, no longer angry, looked at the queen's face, and when it was okay, she racked her old man's brains to think about how to appease the county lord, and went home by herself.
When Hongchen returned to the county lord's mansion, he saw a 'distinguished guest' in the flower hall.
"Master Qu has just arrived."
Luo Niang whispered.
This is a rare guest, and I don't know how to entertain him.
Hongchen nodded, entered the door with a straight face, sat opposite Qu Wu and looked at her and said, "Congratulations to Master Qu for reaching a higher level, and the means of borrowing his life to continue his life have been used so perfectly, it is rare and rare." ”
Qu Wu's face also showed a hint of pride.
Hongchen almost laughed angrily, but he choked in one breath, thought about it, sighed, the expression on his face softened slightly, and even his tone became gentle: "Master Qu, you are very talented and lucky, if you had changed before, I would never persuade you, but these days, I suddenly found that it is not easy for women, and it is even more difficult to achieve something, so I want to say, don't go the wrong way." ”
Qu Wu sat quietly, yes, of course she can't take the wrong road, she grew up, and the lesson she learned is not to take the wrong road, and she won't go either. (To be continued.) )
