Chapter 135: Are You Hurt?
When everyone heard the three words Shangyinguan, they all had expressions of disbelief.
Shangyinguan is the most prosperous Taoist temple of incense in Chang'an, how can it be related to evil arts?
Hua Wei knew that they didn't believe it, and turned her head to look at Xu Qingwei.
Xu Qingwei said: "Bring people up." β
The two maidens were escorted to the temple together.
Hua Yu took out the rune paper, looked around at everyone, and said solemnly: "Look clearly, I will only demonstrate it once." β
She put the talisman paper in her hand with her palms together, and said in a low voice: "I hope that Sister Xiaocui is safe and will not be affected." β
When her words landed, she saw a fire erupting from one of the palace maids, and all the adults were so frightened that they immediately hid back.
Hua Yu covered her hand to extinguish the flames, and said expressionlessly: "You can believe it now, right?"
Rong Anhou pointed at her and said, "You dare to commit murder in the council hall!
Hua Yu glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "I didn't let you catch fire, what is Master Hou afraid of?"
"You!Someone!Protect Your Highness!" Rong Anhou shouted, but he kept retreating.
Hua Wei stood alone in the center of the hall,
An old man with a very dignified expression suddenly asked, "Dare to ask this Dao Master, as long as you hold this talisman and pray, people will catch fire?"
"Of course not, otherwise a talisman will spread all over the world, wouldn't it be too powerful, in that case, the entire Chang'an will be burned. Hua Wei shook her head.
Xie Zhizhang's expression was a little relaxed, it seems that this little Taoist leader is not talking nonsense, at least her words are reasonable.
Hua Yu explained: "This talisman only has the effect of urging evil arts, and the talisman paper that imprisons evil magic in a person's body needs to be burned to ashes and water clothes, this talisman in my hand is from the palace maid next to me, she and the charm under the water suit made a wish to another palace maid, and tied the evil magic to her, and then, she used this talisman to make a wish to her, which can make her have the effect of fire." β
After Hua Yu finished speaking, she looked at Rong Anhou again, and said with a meaningful smile: "So, as long as this palace maid didn't mention your lords when she made her first wish, then this spell will have no effect on you, and adults don't need to panic." β
Rong Anhou heard her mocking them for being afraid of death, and her face changed color.
Hua Yu said in her heart, hum, I thought I really broke into the palace on impulse, and I wanted to hold my handle, thinking too much!
Nangong Yi walked over from above and asked, "Dao Chang said that this rune paper flowed from Shangyin Guan?"
Hua Yu said: "Yes, please Your Highness order a thorough investigation of Shangyinguan, you will definitely find other charms, if Your Highness doesn't believe what I said, go to the market and ask other people, whether these runes are from Shangyinguan, you will know." β
Nangong Yi looked at Xu Qingwei: "You immediately take someone out of the palace, tell Jingzhao Mansion Yin, send someone to search the streets and alleys, if someone is holding this kind of charm, it must be confiscated, remember not to make a noise for the time being, do it quietly." β
Xu Qingwei clenched his fists and withdrew from the political hall.
"Your Highness, the situation is unclear now, if we seize the Shangyin Temple at this time, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people. An official advised.
Nangong Yi was a little hesitant, Shangyinguan's prestige among the people of Chang'an was extremely high, and the rash seizure would indeed cause a lot of public opinion, once the Cui and Li families got the handle, they were likely to be splashed with dirty water, but what Hua Wei said could not be wrong, she couldn't joke about this kind of thing.
Nangong Yi felt that he had changed a lot unconsciously, if it was in the past, it would be absolutely impossible for him to only consider right and wrong in everything without considering the situation to make a judgment, but since the incident of King Beirong, he knew that Hua Yu was such a person, if he rejected her today, she would definitely be very disappointed in herself.
"Someoneβ"
Hua Yu suddenly spoke, "It doesn't matter if you don't seal the Shangyin Temple, it's really not appropriate to expand the matter at the moment and let the people know about it completely, but the Unprovoked Daoist and the Yunyin Daoist have nothing to do with this matter, please Your Highness control the Unprovoked Master and send someone to search the whereabouts of the Yunyin Daoist." β
This is a compromise method, the courtiers can accept it, Xie Zhizhang took the lead and said: "The old minister thinks it is feasible, if the two Taoist masters really do something to harm Chang'an, then it is the safest way to hold them." β
Rong Anhou said: "Who doesn't know the virtue of the unprovoked master in Chang'an?" She suddenly broke into the palace and slandered my Daoist of Dayan, Lord Xie really dared to believe it. β
Xie Zhizhang glanced at him lightly, "The old minister doesn't believe in any Taoist priests, I don't know what virtues the unprovoked master has, if he can prove his innocence, the old minister will not be embarrassed with him, Hou Ye doesn't have to worry." β
"Humph!"
Nangong Yi said: "Okay, don't quarrel first, let's talk about it today, let's disperse, adults should also be careful, since this kind of charm can be aimed at the person who is praying, then we are even more difficult to contain, adults should hurry back and take a look, if anyone in the family has this kind of talisman paper in their hands." β
As soon as everyone heard that they could go back, they immediately retreated.
After all, this spell is weird, and no one knows if it will suddenly become the object of other people's prayers, and now that they know, people who have ghosts in their hearts are even more weak-hearted, for fear that they will become someone else's "wish" if they are not careful.
Imagine a man holding a piece of talisman paper and praying to the gods: "I want everyone to die now." "And then that person would be burned alive, and it was horrible.
After Nangong Yi once again reminded the courtiers not to leak the news, he let them go back.
Xie Zhizhang looked at Hua Yu and Nangong Yi before leaving, and left a little doubt in his heart.
The chief of the flower path has not yet returned, but what has something to say to the king alone? What is there to discuss between them?
ββ
Saying that everyone was gone, Hua Yu touched her nose and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let Lord Xu take me into the palace, and I also broke into the council hall and embarrassed His Highness." β
Nangong Yi smiled, with tenderness in his eyes, "No, you can find out the clues of this matter so quickly, it has helped me a lot." β
"Really, really?" Hua Wei was burned by the sudden warmth in his gaze, and felt that her face was reddened.
"But how did you find the trick?"
Hua Yu said: "Your Highness will follow me to see Concubine Niangniang, and you will know." β
Nangong Yi was a little stunned when she heard her mention Concubine Shu, but she still followed her.
ββ
Ninghua Palace.
Concubine Shu didn't know what was going on, and when she saw Nangong Yilai, her face became very ugly, and panic was shown on her face.
Hua Wei is very strange, Nangong Yi is such a kind person, why is Concubine Shu so afraid of him?
"Niangniang," she hurriedly spoke, "Poor Dao and King Huai are here today to ask Niangniang a few questions, and they won't bother you for too long." β
Concubine Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she thought that King Huai suddenly came to inform her that Gao Ning was going to make peace.
"Ikebana chief is polite, please take a seat. β
Nangong Yi stepped aside and sat down silently.
Hua Yu asked: "Dare to ask Niangniang, have you ever sent someone to Shangyinguan to pray for this kind of prayer charm?"
Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, and said timidly: "Yes......"
"But for the sake of Princess Gao Ning's family?"
"Yes......" Concubine Shu glanced at King Huai secretly.
"Niangniang is reluctant to let the princess go to kiss, so she guesses that Niangniang's wish should be to let the princess not go to kiss, and let the prince of Qi go back early, right?"
Concubine Shu closed her eyes and said, "Yes." β
Hua Yu looked at Nangong Yi and smiled, and Nangong Yi asked, "How do you know?"
Hua Yu said: "At the beginning, when I went to save Huaixi, I found that her maidservant was praying with a charm I had never seen, but the fire on Huaixi's body was burning. Your Highness doesn't know, in fact, a few days ago, I, Princess Gao Ning and the Crown Prince of Qi all encountered this kind of sudden fire. β
Concubine Shu's face changed greatly, and she stood up and asked, "Gao Ning also met it?"
At the same time, Nangong Yi suddenly held Hua Yan's hand and asked in a deep voice, "Are you injured?"
