"Use women to alchemy?" Yu Shizhao was taken aback by Lian Sheng's bold assumption, and he couldn't help but gently pat Lian Sheng's head: "You little brain, where did you get so many wonderful ideas." β
"Isn't this a whimsical idea, isn't there some kind of double cultivation or joyful Zen? There are also women who call them for that, by the way, Dingqi! β
Yu Shizhao's eyes widened: "God, what are you talking about?" You know that! β
Xu Yan also opened her mouth and stammered: "Master...... You...... You...... It's just ...... It's amazing. It's really omniscient. β
Liansheng raised his head proudly: "This is just the basic thing you need to understand." Liansheng looked at Yu Shizhao's surprised appearance, and thought it was really funny: if he knew that there would be meat texts in the future generations, many of which were written by women, would he faint in fright?
Yu Shizhao picked up the teapot speechlessly, silently poured himself a cup, and then drank it, trying to suppress the shock brought by Liansheng, and then said: "Well, what you said is very reasonable, but Xuanming Daoist should not be that kind of person, he practices for His Majesty but never trusts his identity, he is humble and steady, how can he do such a murderous thing?" He has been alchemy for His Majesty and the Queen Mother for some years, and if he had been poisoned, he would have waited until now. β
"Maybe he's waiting for the best time?"
Liansheng always felt that things were not so simple.
"Think about the last time, how good it was, looking like a master outside the world, in fact, people who know people and don't know their hearts." Xu Yan picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite: "Hmm." Tastes good. β
When Yu Shizhao heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I will order the Jinyi guards in Xi'an Mansion to investigate the relationship between Xuan Ming and the Dragon Witch." β
Dinner was a vegetarian dish delivered from a Taoist vegetarian restaurant. It turns out that the vegetarian dim sum and vegetarian dishes in this Qingliang Temple are very famous, and some people even come to climb Taiyi Mountain to buy a package of dim sum in the Taoist temple. Of course, this dim sum and vegetarian dishes are also expensive.
After dinner, Yu Shizhao went back to his yard to avoid suspicion, Liansheng and Xu Yan were tortured in Shangjia Village on the first day and did not sleep well, and after washing and lying down, they fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but Liansheng heard a small sob. She got up. came to Xu Yan's bedside, gently pushed Xu Yan, and asked in a low voice, "What voice are you listening to?" β
Xu Yan slept in a daze, sat up and rubbed her eyes and listened: "It seems that someone is crying!" Suddenly, she shuddered with fright: "Why is this voice so close?" It seemed like it was right outside our window. β
The cry was thin. Sounds a little ethereal. What's even more terrifying is that Liansheng also found that the cry was getting closer. Right by the window.
"Open the window and see." Liansheng walked to the window, and Xu Yan hurriedly shouted, "Don't, I'm afraid." β
"You know how to do martial arts. And with a sword in hand, what are you afraid of! β
As soon as Liansheng stood up, he saw a slender shadow appear in the window. The shadow seemed to cover her face, and the whimpering cry was her.
It's a weird scene. Xu Yan pointed to the window and asked, "Is that a person or a ghost?" β
Lian Sheng walked to the window lightly, pushed the window open, the shadow jumped away, and suddenly turned around, and there was a miserable white face in front of it, and there were no facial features on that face!
Xu Yan screamed in fright, and the shadow gently beckoned to Liansheng, who clenched his fists with both hands and asked calmly, "Who are you!" β
The white-faced woman suddenly laughed bitterly, and a cloud of smoke rose and disappeared in an instant.
The Jinyi guard in the front yard had been sleeping very vigilantly, and when he heard Xu Yan's shout, he jumped up one after another, and Yu Shizhao rushed over first: "What happened!" β
Liansheng opened the door with his clothes on, pointed out the window and said, "Someone was crying there just now. β
"It's not a person, it's a ghost, she has no facial features on her face, it's white!"
Xu Yan had palpitations.
"White? No facial features? β
Yu Shizhao was stunned for a moment.
"Maybe it's because the face is covered with a white cloth, and it's too dark outside to see what's going on."
"It's a ghost, silent, suddenly appearing and disappearing again, and there are no facial features on the face." Xu Yan held the sword tightly in her hand.
Liansheng walked to the window, squatted down to take a closer look, it was dark, the moon was not bright, and there was no rain at night. Liansheng stood up, holding his breath, Yu Shizhao walked over and asked in a low voice, "What did you think of, did you find anything?" β
Lian Sheng shook his head silently, and suddenly sniffed again: "It's a little faint fragrance." β
Fragrance? Yu Shizhao lowered his head, wiped Liansheng's hair, and took a deep breath: "It's a little fragrant." β
"What." Lian Sheng saw that no one was paying attention here, and reached out and gently pinched his arm: "You smell it, it really has a fragrance, a very light aroma, as if you have smelled it somewhere." β
"Is there one?" Yu Shizhao sniffed, and he didn't know if it was a relationship guided by Liansheng, it seemed to be really a little fragrant.
"I remember, it's the smell of incense and candles in the Jiao altar, which means that it was a Taoist priest who pretended to be a ghost and scary just now?"
"The Taoist priest came to pretend to be a ghost? But for what? β
"Let's get out of here, you don't want us to keep looking!"
Liansheng connected the things before and after thinking about it for a while, and looked at Yu Shizhao with confidence: "This shows that the direction of our investigation is right, there are already people who can't sit still, as long as we peel off the cocoon, that person's fox tail can be revealed." β
"You still doubt Daoist Xuanming?" Yu Shizhao couldn't accept Liansheng's idea, after all, Xuanming Daochang was the emperor's stand-in national teacher, questioning him was tantamount to indirectly questioning the emperor, if the murderer in the end was really Xuanming, it would be enough to disgrace the emperor, and the matter between himself and Liansheng would be in jeopardy, how could the emperor have a good impression of the person who rolled up his face in front of the world?
Liansheng never thought about this, she only knew that justice must be served, and the criminal who did evil must be punished, no matter who he is, since he has let himself encounter, he must give an explanation to the innocent.
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. What kind of look you have, like someone owes you money. Liansheng saw that the expression on Yu Shizhao's face was wrong, and reached out to tap his chest.
Yu Shizhao dodged on one side, he needed to calm down.
"What's the matter, since I suspected that there was something wrong with Xuan Ming, your face was not right?"
Liansheng forgot about the era he was in now, and the common thoughts of people in this era.
Having lived in the original era for a long time, the spirit of governing the country according to law and the legal system has been firmly engraved into her heart. What can be wrong with taking the facts as the basis and the law as the criterion?
"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, this sentence itself is a big joke, have you ever heard a sentence that you can't punish a doctor?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"It means don't be so naΓ―ve, and do something after you think about it."
"You're inexplicable." Liansheng was scolded by Yu Shizhao for the first time, so he turned around and left.
"Anyway, we'll leave tomorrow, and everything here has nothing to do with us."
"If you want to go, you go, I won't go."
Liansheng didn't look back.
The next day, they couldn't leave.
Because Miss Chen, Chen Ying died. (To be continued......)
