Worm Mystery

Concubine Bai looked so calm that I couldn't see what her intentions were, but she smiled at me so hard that my scalp was tingling. She was very calm, but Zhen Shen beside her couldn't sit still, pointed at me with trembling hands, and asked sharply: "You, you actually scolded me for being a dog!"

I looked at her, smiled, shook my head, and said, "No, I didn't say you." What are you angry about? Or do you really feel like a dog and can't wait to admit it. You don't think like that, you can't think of yourself as a dog just because you can't spit ivory out of your mouth, it's not good. ”

I pretended to sigh on one wall, and I was busy giving Yunkang a look.

Yun Kang originally had a solemn face, but now he couldn't help it anymore and covered his mouth and laughed. Zhen Shen was obviously annoyed and angry, but she didn't dare to do anything to me, so she poured her anger on the people close to her and pinched her personal maid fiercely. Hearing the laughter in the crowd, he beat his chest in anger, and angrily raised his hand and pointed at everyone and ordered: "I see who dares to laugh, be careful that I tear her mouth?"

This really worked, and the four were immediately silenced.

Duobu frowned, making no secret of her disgust.

I folded my arms around my chest and sneered: "Miss Zhen, you are really capable, you can tear anyone's mouth if you want." I laughed just now, what, you still want to do it to me? ”

Zhen Shen glared and snorted: "If you force me to be in a hurry, I can't guarantee what I will do, even if you are the princess, please be careful."

I put my hand down and strode towards her, "Huh?" Looks like I really can't mess with you. ”

When I got closer, she was intimidated, and when she raised her hand to block me, even if she was so panicked that she opened her mouth, she still threatened me: "You...... Don't come here, I told you not to come, and I'm not welcome to come over again. ”

It can be seen that she is really not afraid of me.

When I was sad, Concubine Bai suddenly reprimanded: "Shut up for me, what are you, you dare to be so presumptuous in front of Princess Jing."

Zhen Shen put down his hand and said angrily: "Cousin, how can you help outsiders talk."

Concubine Bai stared at her sideways and scolded: "I don't know the heavy things, get out of the way."

Zhen Shen first looked at Concubine Bai in disbelief, and after being stunned for a moment, he stared at me again. This look is ruthless, I'm afraid I want to kill me with my gaze. She was unwilling, gritted her teeth and said: "Cousin, are you afraid that she won't succeed, she is just a foreign woman, and you are the concubine favored by His Majesty, why should you be so afraid of her, she has to see you..."

"Smack————

Zhen Shen was only halfway through his words, but he was interrupted by Concubine Bai's slap, and one could not stand steadily, and the person fell directly to the ground, prostrate on the bluestone slab for a while without relieving himself.

I really can't see that Concubine Bai is soft and weak, and she still has such a palm power.

Alas, I can't imagine that my dignified Princess Beiqiu, the upright Princess Jing, is so undignified in front of these people. Just because I'm a foreign woman, I don't even take a cousin of a concubine seriously. It's really sad and pathetic. My heart is really uncomfortable.

Concubine Bai lowered her hand, her eyes widened angrily, and she shouted, "You idiot, you dare to say anything stupid." The princess has a noble status, even the palace has to be treated politely, what kind of thing dare you be so presumptuous, don't hurry up and kowtow to the princess to admit your mistake! ”

Suddenly there was silence, and the surroundings were as quiet as horror. The few women who were holding Zhen Shen in every possible way before were even more frightened at the moment, and several of them consciously stepped aside, standing motionless, lowering their eyes, and no longer daring to look up at the excitement, let alone supporting her.

"Do you think you're some great identity? The daughter of a mere scholar, do you really think that you are of noble birth? If you want to die for the rest of your life, don't take this palace with you. You and I are just cousins, not sisters-in-law, so don't use my banner to show off your might. If it weren't for Princess Jing's kindness and not caring about you, do you think you would still be able to stand and talk to me? If you dare to speak such wildly to the princess, it is not too much to execute you. What are you doing in a daze, why don't you quickly kneel down and beg the princess for forgiveness. ”

Zhen Shen slowly stood up with his swollen face like a pig's head, pursed his mouth tightly, stood in front of me with tears in his eyes, knelt down, and said reluctantly: "It was Zhen Shen who didn't know the etiquette and collided with the princess." I also hope that the princess will not be like me, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins. ”

I glanced at Zhen Shen on the ground, and then looked back at Yun Kang.

Concubine Bai gathered her anger and said with a smile: "Princess Jing, please look at the face of this palace, spare her this time."

I didn't plan to get into anything, but I was angry that she just said what Yunkang said, and now I want to go down the stairs, and I can still embarrass each other.

I cleared my throat and waved my hand: "Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, Miss Zhen, please get up." However, I would like to advise you to control your tongue and think about what you should say and what you should not say, lest you get into trouble and burn yourself. ”

"Follow the princess's teachings, Zhen Shen will not dare in the future."

I turned my gaze back from her and looked at Bai Fei again.

Concubine Bai smiled at me, and then lightly instructed the others: "There is still something to discuss with the princess in this palace, and all the idlers who have nothing to do with it should retreat first."

After a pause, he looked at Zhen Shen and said coldly: "You also hurry up and get out, so as not to be an eyesore."

Zhen Shen's face was still pale, but he didn't dare to say anything more, he stiffly blessed his body, and then led her group of followers away.

Yun Kang and Duo Bu were still not walking behind me, Concubine Bai smiled knowingly, her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, and she whispered softly: "Princess Jing, can you take a step to speak?"

When the words fell, regardless of whether I agreed or not, I walked into the palace on the left first.

Yun Kang tugged at my sleeve, frowned and shook his head, "No, it's getting late, or don't go."

I smiled, patted her hand for relief, and nodded to Duobu: "Don't worry, she won't do anything to me." You're waiting for me right here, and I'll be back soon. ”

After a little hesitation, I decided to follow along and listen to what Concubine Bai had to say.

——

The garden was full of rotten persimmons on the ground, and Concubine Bai chose an open space that was still good enough to wait for me, and the wind blew her aqua blue thin shirt, hunting and moving.

I approached her slowly and asked softly, "I don't know why my mother left me here."

She didn't reply to me immediately, but looked around, as if she was on the lookout for something. After confirming that no third person was present, she said unhurriedly: "The princess must be very curious, why when you enter the palace, the maid repeatedly emphasized that you must enter the palace, and said that it was the meaning of the concubine." But when you come, and you don't see the concubine looking for you to ask, you must be puzzled in your heart. ”

I was surprised, "How do you know?"

Concubine Bai said slowly: "Because, this is not the meaning of the concubine, but the meaning of the palace." It was the palace that told the inner servants to send a message, and you must be asked to enter the palace for a banquet by name. ”

Since I was invited by Sheng, I didn't need to do anything more than Concubine Bai, I would also come. I really don't know what she wants.

Seeing that I was at a loss, she said: "It's because the palace is afraid that there will be any accidents on the way, or the princess will refuse to enter the palace for some reason, then the palace won't be able to ask what you want to ask." So, it's redundant. ”

She couldn't read minds, but she knew what was going on in my mind.

I said, "What does Concubine Bai want to ask me?"

Concubine Bai was silent, and asked solemnly: "Missing, you are from Beiqiu, and you are the daughter of the Beiqiu clan." Then do you know that you have a secret technique called worm in Beiqiu? ”

I was stunned again and asked, "How do you know, what are you asking for?"

Concubine Bai had a gloomy face, nodded thoughtfully, and muttered, "It seems that there really is such a secret technique."

I replied admittedly: "There is indeed a legend of the secret art in Beiqiu, but this is only a legend. In the Beiqiu dialect, the meaning of worm is "the evil thing that eats the skin". It is to use witchcraft to disguise. ”

Concubine Bai hurriedly said again: "Then how is it disguised?"

I didn't want to continue, but Concubine Bai kept begging, so I had to say again: "This kind of disguise technique is not an ordinary face change, just a simple human skin mask and put on the face, but a new face that is really needed." Use the Worm Mystery, which is painful and bloody. When the Gu worms suck the blood on the human face to dry up and the skin begins to wrinkle, they will take off the faces of the two living people, and then exchange them in time. ”

If the face swap is successful, then these two people will be able to live against each other's faces in the future.

The theory of insects and insects began to appear in the period of Xiuzong, the second emperor after the founding of Beiqiu, and it was a kind of disguise secret technique made by the favorite concubine of Xiuzong Tuoba Palace. Even the fine appearance is beautiful, which can be called stunning, and Tuoba Yu was shocked when he first saw her, and he included her in the harem and was pampered. But when the beauty is late and even the thin skin is not good, Tuoba Yu has found a new love again, and he will abandon Lian Xi like a shoe. In order to be favored forever, Lian Xi spent a lot of money to hire a secret wizard in Beiqiu, and used all kinds of hands to restore his appearance and appearance, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to rejuvenate. Unfortunately, she failed. However, even if Lian Xi restores the appearance of the year, Tuoba Yu still will not change his mind. Later, Lian was careful and ruthless, and simply asked the wizard to change her face with Ze Xi.

What is staggering is that such a whimsical and incredible thing really made Lian Xi do it.

After Lian Xi took Ze Xi's face, he let her bury herself in the fire with her face, pretending to be that she was dead. Lian Xi has been wearing Ze Xi's face since then and living as her.

After ten years of peace, Lian Xian's face became abnormal, with red spots beginning to appear, then ulceration, and even gradual atrophy. In the end, that face became more and more terrifying, wrinkled like paper, and everyone in the palace regarded her as a monster. Lian Xi couldn't stand the blow, and since then he has become crazy, and he was disgusted by Tuoba Yu again and thrown into the cold palace. Lian Xi died violently a few days after entering the cold palace, leaving a blood letter before his death, revealing all the secrets of her face change, and presented it to Tuoba Yu by the maid who served her at the beginning, and it was also confirmed by the wizard who helped Lian Xi change his face. Tuoba Yu didn't believe it, so he immediately killed the maidservant, angrily reprimanded the witch for bewitching the people, and intended to kill her. But before he was executed, he changed his mind and asked the sorcerer to reproduce the art of changing his face for him, and if this was the case, he would spare his life.

The sorcerer received the order, and sure enough, he used this method to change the faces of the two female prisoners. Tuoba was shocked, sat on the ground, and sighed that Lian Xi was amorous and crazy, and Ze Xi died innocently.

In the end, the sorcerer was still executed by Tuoba Yu, and the secret art of insects was ordered to be strictly sealed and never to be used.

The art of worming is strange and dark, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I've never believed it. This kind of disguise secret technique is only spread in our Beiqiu royal family, and even the people of Beiqiu are not popular, and it is regarded as a forbidden technique in the palace. As a native of Nanzhan, how did Concubine Bai know.

But looking at her expression at the moment, she should have understood. What the hell is she going to ask me? I really just want to confirm with me that it's as simple as whether Beiqiu has a worm secret technique. Also, why did she ask, didn't she also want to follow Lian Xi and change her favored face?

"Concubine Bai - you ask me what this is......"

My fox stared at her suspiciously, and before I could ask, she fled in a hurry.

The cold wind became stronger, the dead leaves were scattered, and I wrapped my clothes, and I couldn't stop feeling a chill in my heart.

These two cousins and sisters are strange people with nerves.
