Chapter 182: Cultivating the Spirit

Shen Qi clicked and finished eating, burped contentedly, and then tilted his head, lying on the table with his feet facing the sky, Shen Bai subconsciously reached out to catch his head, and only after doing it did he realize that his action was a bit redundant.

This guy is a ghost, and he is not a real child, how can he be so easy to hurt?

Shen Bai smiled, withdrew his hand, Yun Sheng took her actions into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss don't worry, I just saw that his soul was a little weak, so I gave him some spices to strengthen the spirit." β€œ

Gu Ling? Shen Bai pricked up his ears and asked, "My uncle said that my eight characters are a bit light, and I am easy to attract evil spirits, is there anything for me to eat?" β€œ

Yun Sheng smiled with crooked eyes and said, "When Miss learns the art of making incense, no evil will dare to approach Miss." β€œ

Yes, this person seized the opportunity to persuade her to learn incense making.

Shen Bai didn't answer, the room was quiet for a moment, Yunshang opened his mouth in a deep voice, and answered Shen Bai's question at the beginning: "There is no power in the world that is born to be righteous, any power is a double-edged sword, whether it is good or bad, it depends on whether the person with this power is evil or good, and there are many people in this world who are more terrible than evil." The four words of exorcism and exorcism are much more complicated than imagined. β€œ

Yunshang's words are quite transparent, although she is a woman, and her appearance is quite gentle, she has a transcendent temperament, but she has more natural affinity than Wei Ruzhao's compassion.

Shen Bai thought for a while and said: "This little ghost caused a bit of a storm in the palace before, I heard that the king asked an incense maker named Yuanjun to exorcise evil spirits, and today even the notice has been posted in the city, will this little ghost be in danger?" β€œ

Shen Bai didn't know if Shen Qi had harmed anyone in the past two hundred years, as far as getting along in the past few days, although this little ghost was not likable, it was not so annoying, and Shen Bai couldn't help but watch him have an accident.

Yunshang lifted her eyes, looked at Shen Bai with gentle eyes, and asked, "Does Miss want to protect him?" β€œ

Shen Bai didn't know what to do, thought about it and said: "Uncle said that I have a relationship with him, and I have to support him for a thousand days, since this is the case, I should be responsible for him in these thousand days, restrain him from harming others, and in the same way, I must also protect him and prevent others from hurting him." β€œ

Shen Bai doesn't care about other things, since she promised to raise this little ghost for a thousand days, she will not break her promise during this period.

Yunshang nodded. said firmly: "Since the young lady wants to protect him, then nothing will happen to him." β€œ

In this way, Yunshang should be more powerful than the incense maker named Yuanjun.

Shen Bai was a little relieved, took Yunshang to find a room to settle down, and was thinking about how to tell Murong Lin about this, someone from the palace came to say that Murong Lin already knew about Yunsheng's coming to Nanxi, and asked Shen Bai to enter the palace with Yunshang after a while.

The words were said to Shen Bai, but the palace people were very respectful to Yunsheng between their words, although the status of the incense maker in Nanxiang was quite high, Shen Bai still felt that Yun Shang's status in the incense maker should be good.

However, the masters have always been very low-key, and Shen Bai didn't ask, seeing that Yunshang didn't bring anything. Find Cha Bai and ask her to help Yunshang buy something.

Yun Sheng didn't have any requirements for anything outside of her body, so she recognized the door with Shen Bai, turned around and went to Wei Ruzhao's room.

Wei Ruzhao sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated as before, and after Yunshang entered the room, he walked directly in front of him, folded his hands together, and said softly: "Yunshang has seen the master. β€œ

Wei Ruzhao opened his eyes, his eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "I'm just a mortal, not a master." β€œ

Yunshang nodded, but still insisted: "The master's eyebrows and eyes are peaceful, and he no longer has the paranoid distractions when he first arrived in Nanxiang, he must have remembered the past to be so free." β€œ

Wei Ruzhao pursed his lips and said nothing. Yun Sheng took another step forward and whispered, "Since the master has remembered everything, shouldn't he also pay back what he owed to the Dongfang family at the beginning?" β€œ

Wei Ruzhao clasped his hands together and said, "The Si people have passed away, everything is a thing of the past, why bother to be so persistent?" β€œ

"Persistence?" Yunshang laughed, her laughter was mixed with ridicule, she looked at Wei Ruzhao coldly, and said, "If the master really thinks that everything has become a thing of the past, why do you need to walk in the world, participate in the Zen Rite Buddha and do good deeds to atone for that person's sins?" β€œ

Wei Ruzhao stopped talking again, and Yunshang restrained his sharp temper. Gentlely: "Actually, we don't have any requirements, it's not so much that the master owes the Dongfang family, but that the master owes a person, and the master does ten thousand good deeds to atone for his sins, but it's not worth being liberated by another person, isn't it?" β€œ

Wei Ruzhao closed his eyes and sighed: "Amitabha." β€œ

On the second day, Shen Bai took Chabai to the city to buy things for Yunshang.

Although he has encountered many unbelievable strange things recently, Shen Bai still keeps in mind his mission, and secretly compares the goods of Nanxiang and Zhaoling in his heart when he buys things.

Nanxiang country has strong sunshine, abundant rain, although the products are abundant, but there are few places suitable for the growth of cotton and linen, the silk worn by the nobles is comparable to that of Zhaoling, but most of the people wear coarse linen clothes, and the weaving process is not as fine as Zhaoling, both the beauty and comfort are a lot behind, and it is not cheap.

In addition to clothes, the porcelain craftsmanship here is not very good, not to mention the cups are rough and fragile, and the aesthetics are not enough, but the porcelain is not as good as the clothes, and it also takes huge financial and material resources to transport it from Zhaoling to Nanxiang in good condition.

Shen Bai silently calculated the price difference and various costs, Shen Qi had been sleeping since eating yesterday, but when Shen Bai went out, he spontaneously hung on Shen Bai's arm.

Cloudy today. The sun is not very strong, Shen Bai still holds an umbrella to cover the sun, the first time I saw her so particular, Chabai is still a little unaccustomed.

In addition to comparing the goods of the two countries, Shen Bai also found that there were obviously fewer people walking around the city today than yesterday, and all the people who came out were in a hurry, as if something bad had happened in the city.

Is it because of yesterday's notice?

Just as he was thinking, a pair of officers and soldiers passed by carrying wooden barrels and poured black and red liquid under some of the walls.

Shen Bai asked Gu Si to take a look, and they splashed dog blood.

They are not splashing everywhere casually, but they are splashing in certain directions in a planned way, much like the formation written in the book.

Shen Bai used to be very interested in these Qimen Dunjia, but now Shen Qi was sleeping peacefully with her arm in her arms, and she only felt weird and uneasy when she saw this.

"Let's go back early."

Shen Bai whispered, put down the curtain and no longer looked at the situation outside, Gu San immediately drove back to the post station.

The post station was no different from peacetime, except that Zhou Jue left with the Praetorian Guards, and the people on duty became the personal soldiers sent by Murong Lin.

Gu Sangu Si and Cha Bai moved all the things they bought into Yun Sang's room, Cha Bai made a pot of hot tea and put it on the table and then retreated, Yun Sheng sat by the window grinding a kind of vermilion powder, his temperament was tranquil and quiet, and Shen Bai's restless heart slowly fell.

Yunshang glanced back at her and asked softly, "Miss was frightened when she went out?" β€œ

Shen Qi smelled the smell, snorted twice, opened his eyes, and then jumped on the table and stretched out his paws to eat the powder, Yun Sheng gently slapped his hand away and said, "It's enough to eat once every three days, don't be greedy." β€œ

Shen Qi snorted and stared at Yunsheng, obviously unhappy, Shen Bai walked over and gave him a violent slap directly: "If you can't eat more, you can't eat more, this is your aunt, who are you staring at." β€œ

Shen Qi was shaken, his little mouth was raised high, he moved his little ass, turned his back and ignored Shen Bai.

Just ignore people. It's much better than grinning at a disagreement before.

Shen Bai poked him in the back of the head, and he didn't know who this kid's bad temper was.

Yun Sheng was amused by the interaction between the two and smiled slightly, and Shen Bai said worriedly: "I just saw someone outside pouring black blood everywhere, like arranging a formation, I haven't seen this, I'm always a little worried, I heard the fifth prince say before, this Yuanjun is the most powerful incense maker in Nanxiang Country at present, does my aunt know about him?" β€œ

Even if others can't see Shen Qi and Shen Bai can see it, Shen Bai still feels that he is just an ordinary person who has been reborn, and things like incense making and exorcism are too far away from her, and she still doesn't know that Yuanjun at all, even if there are two unfathomable people, Wei Ruzhao and Yunshang, Shen Bai is still worried about everything unknown.

Yun Sheng put the powder in a box, took out a rattle for Shen Qi to play with like a trick, and then said softly: "I have been in the Dongfang family all these years and have not come out to walk around, I have only heard of the name of this Yuanjun, I have not seen him personally, his incense-making skills are indeed good, but the incense-making technique originated from the Dongfang family, the Dongfang family has more than two hundred years of experience, in this regard, Miss does not have to worry." β€œ

The art of incense-making originated in the Oriental family, in other words, the ancestor of the incense maker is in the Oriental family, even if the fate of the king is powerful, people who see the Oriental family still can't respect the ancestor?

Shen Bai's heart fell, but when he saw the soft expression on Yun Sheng's face, his eyebrows and eyes were a little cold, and he said word by word: "If he has to be an enemy of the Dongfang family, I will teach him a good lesson for Miss." β€œ

Since we met yesterday, Yunshang has a gentle and soft appearance, but at this time, she is speaking with an awe-inspiring momentum, exuding arrogance from her bones that people dare not despise.

This is the confidence that only the people of the Oriental family will have.

Shen Bai was secretly speechless, and then he couldn't figure it out, this Yuanjun exorcism was only aimed at Shen Qi, a little ghost, why was he making enemies with the Dongfang family?

This thought just flashed in Shen Bai's mind quickly, and she didn't wait for her to catch it. Yunshang said again: "If Miss is still not at ease, I can teach Miss a method, and at a critical time, Miss can use this method to help the little boy calm his soul." β€œ

Shen Bai immediately asked, "What method?" β€œ

Yunshang stretched out her hand towards Shen Bai and said, "I need a hair from Miss." β€œ

How simple a hair is.

Shen Bai immediately pulled out a hair and put it in Yun Sheng's hand, Yun Sheng held it, and asked Shen Bai to pull a hair from Shen Qiguang's slippery head, and then entwined the two hairs together, and when they were halfway through, Yun Sheng asked Shen Bai: "Miss has you given hair to others before?" β€œ

Shen Bai said truthfully: "Before coming to Zhaoling, my husband and I exchanged hair as a token to carry with us, is there any problem?" β€œ

Yunshang looked at Shen Bai unexpectedly and said, "Miss is still a virgin, how can she already have a husband?" β€œ

No matter what country it is. It is not a good thing for a woman to make a private life with others, but Shen Bai was not shy and embarrassed at all, and said calmly: "I complained to him from the bottom of my heart, but there were other things to interfere, and now it is inconvenient to hold a wedding, so I worshiped heaven and earth in private, he is a person with a very responsible and responsible sense, and he will marry me in the future." β€œ

Shen Bai's eyes were clear, full of love and firmness, as if no matter what happened, she would unswervingly be with the husband in her mouth.

Yunshang pursed her lower lip, and after a while, she smiled with relief: "Miss has said so, then it must be a very good Langjun." If the young lady marries him, she will definitely be very happy in this life. β€œ

As he spoke, Yun Sheng pulled out a hair of his own, which was entangled with Shen Bai and Shen Qi's hair, and then put his hands together, blending them in the palm of his hand, a faint fragrance overflowed, Yun Sheng grabbed Shen Bai's hand and drew a circle on her little finger, and a circle of red marks immediately appeared on Shen Bai's little finger, as if it grew out of flesh.

Yunshang said: "Please Miss like me, draw a circle on the hand of the little boy." β€œ

Shen Bai grabbed Shen Qi's left hand and pinched it on his chubby little finger. A circle of marks also appeared on Shen Qi's little finger, but it was pure black.

"This is a heart-to-heart technique, the little boy generally won't leave the young lady's sight, if the young lady can't find the little boy one day, you can urge this sense of the little boy's direction."

Shen Bai moved his fingers, didn't feel any difference, and asked curiously: "How to urge this?" β€œ

Yunshang said: "Miss just needs to concentrate and think about the little boy in her mind." β€œ

Shen Bai tried it, Xu is Shen Qi is too close to her now, she can't sense anything, but she intuitively feels that Yunshang won't lie to herself, so she didn't ask again, feeling that the atmosphere was a little dull. Changed the subject and said: "Although ordinary people can't see this little ghost, it's not good for him to be naked all the time, does my aunt know how to put clothes on him?" Do you want to burn him? β€œ

Spirits generally don't need to wear clothes, after all, they are not really alive, Yunshang didn't expect Shen Bai to care about this, and said softly: "The deceased can't receive the things that are burned for them, and if the young lady wants to make clothes for the little son, she must first learn the art of making incense." β€œ

Not again.

Shen Bai was a little big, looked at Yunshang expectantly and said, "This incense-making technique can't be learned in a day or two, can my aunt change a set of clothes for him to wear first, and I will learn it slowly in the future?" β€œ

Shen Bai thought that this was a very simple matter, but Yun Sheng shook his head and said, "The little boy recognizes Miss as his mother, and he will only accept Miss's spiritual method. Close to the young lady, although it is simple to give him clothes, the little boy will think that I am going to hurt him, maybe he will be angry and hurt people. β€œ

Shen Bai frowned and questioned: "He is not just close to me, he has nothing to do on weekdays, he will also lie on his uncle's neck, and there is also a guard named Zhou Jue who sent us here before, Zhou Jue can't see him, and he often lies on Zhou Jue's neck." β€œ

Yunshang said: "That's because their natural aura is different from others, so the little boy likes them." β€œ

Gotcha, it's so troublesome, so let's go bare-assed first.

Shen Bai still didn't plan to learn any incense-making techniques at this time, and after talking to Yunshang for a while, she settled down and was not so worried, so she took Shen Qi back to her room to stay.

The Buddha beads made by Wei Ruzhao have been polished by Shen Bai into thumb-sized balls, and Shen Bai first took one to try his hand, preparing to engrave some Buddha seal patterns on the Buddha beads, so that they can also look better.

Shen Qi was very interested in these balls, and sat next to him and juggled them to spin in the air.

Shen Bai only asked him to be careful not to make too much trouble and didn't stop him too much, children, it's normal to make a little fuss, not to mention that this little ghost has been wandering alone for more than two hundred years, and he finally has a lot of fun, so it's good to have fun.

Shen Bai can't sit still, and the only thing that can calm down is carving.

It's a shame to say that the best opportunity to show her carving skills is to carve a tablet for Zhen Guogong.

Concentrate on doing the right thing, the time passed quickly before you knew it, dinner was brought to the house by Chabai, Shen Bai ate quickly, lit the lamp and continued to carve things.

After roughly carving the first Buddha bead, it was already the second half of the night, Shen Bai's eyes were sore and swollen, he put away the sawdust, and then wiped the Buddha beads clean with a handkerchief, and the lines on the Buddha beads clearly came into view, and now they were not exquisite enough. It also has to be polished carefully, but it is better than Shen Bai expected.

I have been reborn for a lifetime, and the skills that are still in my hands have not been completely lost.

Shen Bai put away the Buddha beads, stretched his waist and stood up, ready to turn off the lights to sleep, but turned his head to see Shen Qi lying on the side of the bed, curled up in a ball, and there was already a layer of hoarfrost on his body, as if he had suddenly become moldy.

Shen Bai was startled, strode to his side, stretched out his hand and touched it, touching a piece of cold, Shen Qi didn't know when he was frozen.

"What's wrong with you, little ghost? Did you eat something? β€œ

Shen Qi closed his eyes tightly and did not respond, Shen Bai immediately picked him up, turned around to walk out, and the melodious sound of the piano came from outside the house.

The sound of the piano is not harsh, but very ethereal, Shen Bai doesn't feel disgusted, but at this hour, no matter how beautiful the sound of the piano is, it disturbs the people.

Shen Bai hugged Shen Qi tightly, opened the door and walked out, his first reaction was to go to find Yunsheng, but as soon as he took a step out of the door, he heard Shen Qi's painful muttering.

Shen Bai immediately retreated, and found that Shen Qi's white and pure little face had an extra blood mark.

This little imp was already ruined with half of his face. It's too much to pick the good-looking half of people's faces at this time!

Shen Bai was a little angry, and hugged Shen Qi and shouted to the people outside the house: "Where is Your Excellency sacred, you might as well show up openly, what kind of ability is it to play a black hand on a child who has no power to restrain a chicken?" β€œ

No one responded, but the sound of the piano also stopped abruptly, Shen Bai looked out of the house vigilantly, and not long after, a man wearing a blue and white robe and carrying a guqin on his back descended from the sky, his strings were by no means mundane, and they emitted a smooth and soft pale white light in the night, and the fairy aura was remarkable.

The man's appearance is excellent, with sharp eyebrows. Eagle eyes, straight nose, thin lips, three-dimensional facial features, hanging in the air with strings on his back, clothes flying I don't know how many little girls' eyes will be lost.

Shen Bai hugged Shen Qi and was so cold that he was not confused at all.

She looked at the man fixedly, and asked loudly, "Your Excellency is Yuanjun?" β€œ

The man didn't answer Shen Bai's question, his eyes looked at Shen Qi coldly and said, "Origin and extinction are all destined by heaven, and I will come here because of the evil in the girl's arms." β€œ

Shen Bai sneered and sneered at each other: "You say that he is evil or evil?" This little devil drank my blood and called me a mother. Married to me, this is also the will of God, is the sky above our heads different, why do you follow the principles of heaven greater than mine? β€œ

In terms of quarrels, Shen Bai has never been afraid of anyone.

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he didn't wait for the man to respond and continued: "Besides, you say that he is evil, and you always have to show evidence of his crime of hurting nature and reason, even if you take it out, you have to find the root cause, who didn't even let go of a newborn child in the first place, and harmed him like this." β€œ

This person wants to talk about cause and effect, and Shen Bai will talk to him about cause and effect.

Seriously speaking, the person who caused Shen Qi to become like this is the real culprit.

Shen Bai was straightforward and reasonable, but the man didn't listen, put down the piano on his back, hung cross-legged in the air, put his hands on the strings, looked at Shen Bai and asked word by word: "So the girl is determined to protect this evil spirit." β€œ

What does it mean to be determined to protect evil spirits?

Master is reasoning with you, are you a person who can't understand human words or your brain was kicked by a donkey?

Shen Bai was a little unhappy, seeing that he didn't want to talk nonsense, he hugged Shen Qi and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to see what the Heavenly Dao wants to do with me today!" β€œ

As soon as the words fell, the man began to stroke the piano.

The sound of the piano was still as ethereal and melodious as Fang Cai, but Shen Bai keenly smelled the aura of slaughter from it.

A man who prides himself on destroying demons. When he shows his killing moves, he has no mercy.

This sound had no effect on Shen Bai, an ordinary person, but Shen Qi frowned in pain and snorted in pain.

Shen Bai helped cover its ears and coaxed it gently: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqi, my mother is here, it will be fine." β€œ

After speaking, a sharp whistle disturbed the sound of the piano.

Large snow-white petals fell from the sky, and the fragrance of Luanling flowers spread in the air.

The man pressed the strings and said in a deep voice: "Dongfang Sect Master, why don't you show up since you are here?" β€œ

An oil-paper umbrella appeared in the air, and Yunshang stepped on the oil-paper umbrella and appeared on the man's side.

Her posture is light and agile, looking at her back like a twenty-eight girl, and her clothes are flying beautifully.

Flower petals float around the two, and the bright moonlight pours down, reflecting the scene in a dreamy and beautiful way.

Shen Bai hugged Xiao Qi and shouted: "Auntie, don't be soft-hearted, beat him!" β€œ

"Yes, miss."

Yunsheng bowed his head, raised his hand, and the petals suspended in the air ran at high speed, quickly enveloping the man, and the man immediately stroked the qin to deal with it, and the sound wave was like a thin blade, crushing all the petals, but under a closer look, the man's clothes were also cut by the petals.

The petals were shattered and sprinkled on the ground, and a small cut appeared on the man's cheek, which was carefully compared, exactly the same as the wound on Shen Qi's face just now.

The man raised his hand, wiped the scars on his face, squinted at Yunsheng, and asked, "I am on the order of the king to drive out the evil that plagued the princess of the Great Prince, is the master of the Eastern Gate going against the king?" β€œ

The man used Murong Lin to oppress people, Yunshang was not afraid, and came to the door suddenly, and said with a calm expression: "Whether the Dongfang family is loyal to the king or not, the king has his own perception. I will make a move, Yuanjun should know that this is the Dongfang family to protect this child, if Yuanjun does not forgive, it will be against the entire Dongfang family. β€œ

The wound on Yuanjun's face did not stop, and blood gushed again, and he froze silently for a moment, the man put away the qin and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Dongfang family has come forward, this matter is not something I can solve by myself, the master of the door will enter the palace on his own and explain to the monarch." β€œ

After Yuanjun finished speaking, he turned around and left, making sure that he was far away, Shen Bai hurriedly said, "Auntie, look at Xiao Qi, he is frozen all over." β€œ

Yunshang walked into the house, glanced at Shen Qi, asked Shen Bai to put him on the bed, and then cut Shen Bai's fingers, and fed Shen Qi with the powder that Shen Bai had ground before.

The hoarfrost on Shen Qi's body quickly dissipated, and his body slowly warmed up, Shen Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly heard Yun Sheng say: "I went around the city and found that the array of the cloth this time was slightly different from the previous one, and I wanted to check it carefully, but I found that this array had been destroyed by someone first." β€œ

Shen Bai immediately asked, "Is it uncle?" β€œ

Yunshang shook her head, maybe because she was there, Wei Ruzhao didn't mean to meddle in this matter, the whistle just now came very abruptly. Let her mind a little.

It seems that someone is secretly protecting Shen Bai and Shen Qi.

Shen Bai couldn't figure out what Yunshang couldn't figure out, thinking of Yuanjun's words, Shen Bai was a little worried, and asked: "Shen Qi hurt the eldest princess after all, will the monarch embarrass his aunt?" β€œ

It is common for the royal family and the family to disagree, but Shen Bai is a person from Zhaoling in the end, if Murong Lin is angry and has any dissatisfaction with Zhaoling, it will not be good to start a war.

Although Shen Bai didn't want Shen Qi's soul to fly away, he didn't want to cause any trouble to Gu Hengzhou because of himself.

If he really wanted to choose between the two, Shen Bai would definitely choose Gu Hengzhou.

Shen Bai's expression was a little solemn, and Yun Sheng comforted: "Miss don't worry, with the Dongfang family here, everything is not a problem." β€œ

Shen Bai nodded, inexplicably feeling that he was hugging a very thick thigh, the kind that could walk sideways in Nanxiangguo.

Early in the morning of the second day, someone from the palace invited Shen Bai and Yunshang to enter the palace together.

Shen Qi woke up in the middle of the night, Xu was scared last night, and he kept hanging on Shen Bai's back, he was still bubbling out of the cold, but Shen Bai didn't feel hot at all.

She washed hastily, changed her clothes, and took a carriage with Yunshang into the palace.

Murong Lin set up a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and Murong Qi and Luo Li were there.

The two walked over, and Yun Sheng only bowed his head and saluted Murong Lin.

Seeing that the monarch of a country doesn't need to bow down, Shen Bai really believes that Yunshang and the Dongfang family have a very high status.

Shen Bai stretched his face without showing his emotions, and was about to kneel down to salute, Murong Lin said, "There are no outsiders here, Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite." β€œ

No outsiders? Isn't she just a living outsider?

Shen Bai slandered, but he didn't insist, and sat down next to Yunsheng.

As soon as he sat down, he heard Murong Lin say: "This king heard that the master of the sect has taken a fancy to that soul, hasn't the Dongfang family always disapproved of raising spirits?" Why did the door master suddenly make an exception, but what was unique about this soul? β€œ

Shen Bai didn't know what it meant to raise a spirit, but Shen Qi, who had been lying on her back and playing with her hair, was shocked, and the cold air around her body instantly became awe-inspiring.
