Chapter 70: Taoist Practice, Soul Comfort
Suddenly I felt like my clothes were being pulled by something from behind. The ground is also starting to sink...... When he also wanted to get involved in a mudslide, he couldn't get up. I woke up in an instant, only to find out that it was a dream, and wiped my forehead, which was full of sweat. The whole body was as if it had been washed, slimy, mixed with the night breeze blowing in from the window, cold and chilling down the spine......
There are so many dreams like this......
During that period of time, whether it was day or night, the fifth prince was nervous, and he was sluggish all day, he was afraid of being alone, and he would not let people leave his side for a whole day, even at night, he would let Xiao Wu sleep next to the bed.
In the later stage, Xiao Wu made a suggestion, asking her to invite a Taoist priest to come to her house to see if there was anything bad sticked, so she could get the consent of the five princes, and hand over the matter to Xiao Wu's office.
A day later, Xiao Wu invited back a Taoist priest, and after this Taoist priest practiced for three days and three nights, he replied to the five princes: "This house is surrounded by fierce spirits, if it weren't for the five princes' true dragon protection, they would have been unable to resist it a long time ago." ”
"What are the spirits?" The Fifth Prince hurriedly asked.
"There are many evil spirits, but they all respect a woman, this woman is dressed in red, not combed in a bun like a woman, but dressed as a man and tied her hair." The Taoist priest shook his head and said slowly.
The fifth prince instantly thought of Li Sheng, Li Sheng loves red clothes, and asked her why she likes red so much, she said that she didn't like it before, but since she entered the army in the back, she likes it, so that others can't see that you are injured, you can confuse the enemy externally, and comfort your family internally.
She never dresses up as a woman, saying that she thinks women's clothing is troublesome, and if she encounters something, she can't use her fists and feet.
When it was confirmed who it was, the fifth prince hurriedly asked, "Then how should this matter be resolved?" ”
The Taoist priest shook off the dust, shook his head and said: "This kind of evil spirit Dao is not shallow, there are two methods, one is to suppress, and the other is to temper. Which would you choose? ”
The fifth prince thought of Li Sheng's past, and said quite lost: "Let's do it!" ”
The Taoist priest carefully explained the process: "It takes three days to collect the resentful spirits, and then chant the sutras for 8891 days to disperse all her resentment, and finally fall into the reincarnation path. ”
The fifth prince was also in poor spirits, so he didn't hear clearly, but just instructed Xiao Wu: "Gather all the things that the Dao Chief needs, and you will follow the Dao Chief in the next few days, and wait for this matter to be over." ”
Turn away.
I don't know if I was really subdued or comforted in my heart, the fifth prince never dreamed of Li Sheng again.
Since then, the fifth prince has become accustomed to the sound of wooden fish chanting from the house, and he will feel relieved when he hears this voice.
The roof of the other cell leaked, and there was a crackling sound on the ground, which pulled the fifth prince back to his thoughts.
He asked in a low voice, "What is your relationship with Li Sheng?" ”
Li Sheng laughed playfully: "Heh! Do you remember her? ”
"Don't forget." The fifth prince paused for a moment and said word by word.
Li Sheng was hit in the heart by these four words, almost completely out of control, and shouted: "Don't forget it? Don't forget it! ”
"She once trusted you wholeheartedly, and even if she came back triumphantly, she never saw you, and she still kept making excuses for you." Li Sheng's tears flowed down his cheeks.
"She heard that she was going to marry you, and she was also full of joy and couldn't sleep all night."
She sobbed for a while, then paused, "But when she was leaving, she saw you laughing wildly not far away. ”
The heart of the fifth prince was twisted and painful.
He was speechless, he had said that he would marry her, it was true, and when he said that, he also tossed and turned all night, he was afraid of her refusal.
It is also true that he has never seen her, because he has been under house arrest since he went to his father to propose marriage.
He was forced to go on a hunger strike, and his father threatened his mother's life.
Until the last day, he gave up, he only wanted to see her, and his father agreed, but in order to prevent him from having more accidents, he asked the Praetorian Guards to take his mother to a pavilion next to the guillotine, gagged her, and put a knife on her neck.
On one side is his relatives, on the other side is his beloved, he can't make a choice, he laughs, he wants to provoke his father.
His smile was arrogant, as if to say: Look, there is nothing that cannot be given up, this time you forced me, there will always be a time when I will return it.
But this last scene caused Li Sheng to have a misunderstanding.
"What you say is true, but it's not as simple as it seems." The fifth prince recalled with painful eyes.
"One more thing." Li Sheng took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Why did you find someone to dig up the grave of Shangshu Mansion." ”
"It's not a grave, it's just a mound of clothes." The fifth prince retorted.
Li Sheng took a step back: "So you really planed." Even when Yun Niang told her, she always wanted to hear him explain.
"It's not me, I just heard about it and went to rebury it." The fifth prince explained, but there was a sentence he didn't say later, and he accidentally discovered the representative of the royal blood of the Mo Dynasty.
Later, he brought that thing back, checked the royal records of the Mo Dynasty, plus the spies in the Mo Kingdom, and finally discovered a secret: it turned out that decades ago, the Mo Dynasty experienced a war, and it happened that the queen was born at that time, and the emperor and queen were deeply affectionate, and the queen did not leave, only let the chaser take away the child who had just gone out, and then the chasing soldiers chased after him tightly, and put the child in the back of a carriage in a hurry, only remembering that the lantern of the carriage had the word Li written on it, and ran in the other direction.
In that war, the emperor finally won a small victory, and thanked the queen for the friendship of living and dying together, so he scattered the harem, leaving only the queen alone. After the war, the emperor and queen were trying their best to find the prince and the prince, but they found nothing, and they were still in the court of the rivers and lakes, and there was a big stir, because their condition was that if they found it, they could get one-third of the fiefdom of the Mo Dynasty and establish themselves as kings. But they all failed, because when the queen sent the prince away, she pricked an acacia flower with a needle on his back shoulder, and took the unique warm jade that the emperor gave to the queen and took it away, just to find someone, and as time went by, others gradually forgot about it, although the emperor and queen had an heir, but the eldest prince was their uneasy after all.
As for the appearance of the acacia flower, it was only because the spies who were far away in the Mo Dynasty took the trouble to find the person who had served the queen before they found it.
