Chapter 71: The Soul Seeking His Life (3)
"It's almost the July Festival, the underworld is wide open, not all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have come out, what's so strange about seeing these things, when the palace died and lay in the coffin, the soul and body were separated, and you can still see you crying, do you believe it or not?"
Drinking the soy milk brought by Banxia, Wei Qingguan said playfully to the stunned two people in front of him, and as soon as her words came out, Concubine Xian was fine, and Lu Furui and Zi Su in the back were already surprised, especially after being frightened just now. Give the power of the literature network
Wei Qingguan was very satisfied to look at their soulless appearance at the moment, she was as usual, very serious and said, "Don't believe it, this palace was a wandering soul at that time, I think it should not be broken, I don't know how to let people pat it and come back like this, maybe Li Zhaoyi and Concubine Min can't find the way back, so I'm here to scare and scare you, it's okay, it's okay, in a while, just go to the Qin'an Hall to find two masters to chant the scriptures." ”
Listening to the tone of the Jianghu god stick, Banxia on the side pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, she said lightly, and Concubine Xian was embarrassed to pull her face, and said, "Niangniang seems to believe in ghosts and gods recently, such a call, but it really scared us people stupid, let's let Niangniang you have an idea, you can't scare us like this." ”
Although Concubine Xian didn't want to believe it in her heart, but in the face of this woman who came alive from the coffin, and listening to what she said, her heart was clenched for no reason, and she was a little creepy, especially the scene of the faint blue beating fire fluttering in front of her eyes last night, which still lingers, making her heart feel empty.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Min's body had already been scorched, she would really be afraid that Concubine Min would open her eyes from the coffin like Wei Qingguan at the beginning!
Over there, Wei Qingguan finished drinking the soy milk in his hand, smiled lazily, and pulled a strand of hair that fell from his sideburns, "To tell the truth, if I don't believe in ghosts and gods, why would I be witched, since that day I suddenly fell ill, this palace can believe this, and now I have put a lot of things in this house to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, do you want it?" Why don't I give you some? ”
Wei Qingguan's appearance at this meeting, like a crazy devil in the rivers and lakes, Concubine Xian originally came, but she just wanted to discuss with her that it was better to bury Concubine Min directly today, but she didn't want to say anything, but let her be scared in a few words, but fortunately she didn't speak anymore, and found an excuse, so she dragged Lu Furui out of Yongning Hall together.
Looking at their figures fleeing in a hurry, the corners of Wei Qingguan's lips raised slightly, and he couldn't help but say, "A little phosphorus powder scared them one by one, just like the three souls lost their seven spirits, they didn't do anything wrong, but I'm really sorry for the amount of effort I spent." ”
"Concubine Xian Niangniang can hold her ground, but Lu Guiren is so young, although she has never seen it with her own eyes, the slave and maid are really scared when she looks at it, if General Su is so frightened again, it is estimated that she can spit out anything, that Zi Su is so dark and blue at the moment, it is estimated that she is scared and lost seven souls, she is braver than the previous incense spike."
Banxia accompanied Wei Qingguan and took the celadon soup bowl in her hand, and said resentfully in her heart, Wei Qingguan reached out and patted the back of her hand, comforting her silently.
"Now that they have been scared once, they are naturally on guard, and they want to know more than anyone what this so-called ghost fire is, what the ghost shadow is, they naturally can't be scared anymore, let General Su take people to spread some rumors in this palace these days, and then create something to catch the wind and shadows, increase the burden on their hearts, and wait until the day of Concubine Min's funeral, the palace will give them a big gift, and there will always be a time when the blow will hit!"
The so-called ghost fire is just some white phosphorus that Wei Qingguan sprinkled in Concubine Min's coffin, as for the ghost in the Yuntai Palace, she asked Su Hao to use a thin wire to make the paper figure coated with white phosphorus swing in the air, a little bit of the things of the gods and lakes to scare them into this appearance, which is also an unexpected gain.
Wei Qingguan expected it well, Concubine Xian has increased her care for Mingguang Hall and Yuntai Hall since she left Yongning Palace, and even her own Hande Hall has placed a lot of people inside and out, but she has not seen anything strange and chaotic, and Lu Furui is there, staring at the palace maid and grandmother brightly, and she has not seen the so-called ghost.
**Sleepless and uneasy, the faces of the two were full of haggardness, and the gossip in the palace did not stop, **, people in several places in the palace said that they saw ghost fires, and some people even spread the ghost story of seeing a person who was burned red floating in the air.
Since then, the rumors of haunting in this palace have made people more and more panicked, that is, Lu Furui is also restless in her sleep during the day, and her mind is full of Lu Furui's resentful and hideous appearance before she died, her heart is panicked, and the whole person is tired, as if she has sucked her essence dry.
Concubine Xian kept watch in the Mingguang Hall for two nights, but there was no result, thinking that tomorrow would be the day of the funeral, so she simply stopped guarding it, and only waited until the funeral.
At noon on the third day, Wei Qingguan and the others all stood in the Mingguang Palace, intending to send Concubine Min on the last journey.
When the time came, the little eunuchs who carried the coffin nailed the coffin and prepared to lift it out, the moment the coffin was lifted, the bottom of the coffin of the entire golden silk nanmu suddenly burned, and it was the blue flame again, and this time the fire was very large, and the huge blue flame actually wrapped the entire coffin, and it kept burning.
The little eunuchs of the eunuchs were so frightened that they hurriedly let go of their hands, and the raised coffin was put down with a "bang", and there was a huge bang in the hall, which shook the "dong dong" recall.
The outside of the main hall exploded in an instant, and the screams resounded throughout the Mingguang Palace, and a few timid ones even ran directly towards the door.
Concubine Xian's face also changed color by the way, and the Zisu hand that followed behind pointed directly at the burning coffin, and she couldn't help but tremble in fright...... This ......" exclaimed words but was covered in the mouth of Concubine Xian, and she didn't care much, Concubine Xian only glared at her fiercely, not letting her make a sound, and didn't care how abrupt their movements were at the moment,
And then Lu Furui, who was crowded in the crowd, couldn't stand it anymore when she saw the burning coffin with her own eyes, so she fainted and fell into the panicked crowd.
She had the courage to ignore the obstruction of others, and walked directly towards the burning coffin, the faint blue light continued to beat, but the coffin had not been burned, as if only the outer layer had been burned, she clenched the root of her teeth, closed her breath and pinched the white fingertips, just standing straight in front of the burning transparent coffin, unable to move!
The little eunuchs who reacted found a wet cloth and put it on the coffin to prevent the fire from spreading, and the fire on the coffin was extinguished after a while, and when the wet cloth was lifted, the coffin was not burned at all, and all the people looked at the coffin with unbelievable eyes, and their eyes were so frightened that their eyes straightened.
The Queen Mother and Dongfang Chen, who had already been invited, frowned deeply when they saw the chaos in the Mingguang Palace, and Dongfang Chen protected Wei Qingguan in his arms for the first time, and then commanded the people of the Ministry of Rites to lift the coffin to bury it, without asking what happened here just now.
The Queen Mother was supported by Roufu, glanced at the people who were like frightened birds, and pursed her lips. When the coffin was carried out, she looked around suspiciously, even observing the surroundings of the altar, and found nothing wrong.
The queen mother has been in this harem for nearly half of her life, never believed in ghosts and gods, and when the ghost fire broke out from the Mingguang Palace, Dongfang Jing's nursing mother came and went, she only felt that it was just a little trick played by Wei Qingguan, just because at that time, the first emperor was obsessed with alchemy for a while, and she had seen what the so-called ghost fire was in the alchemy room with her own eyes, so she never took it to heart.
But Shicai's public appearance, the sudden burning coffin burned, this kind of thing is something she has never seen in most of her life, she tried hard to find clues in the mortuary hall, but in addition to the water stains left by the wet cloth of Shicai's coffin, she couldn't find anything else, and she didn't even smell the pungent smell, which means that it was not a little trick like before.
And looking at Wei Qingguan who seemed to be in Dongfang Chen's arms who was greatly frightened, the Queen Mother couldn't help frowning, thinking only about what she was doing!
Concubine Min's coffin was put into the ground, and the people in the Mingguang Hall dispersed in a hurry, but the Qin'an Palace was much more lively than before, but all the palace concubines and palace maids who saw the coffin spontaneously combusted on that day went to the Qin'an Palace to ask for a peace charm, and even more so, they turned ingot incense candles there every day, for fear that they would be contaminated with unclean things.
These days, at night, except for the eunuchs and patrolling guards in the palace, others hid in their own halls early, saying that they didn't dare to go out. (2) mio(2)bi.*(2)cabinet(2),
For a while, the palace talked about the ghost's discoloration, and the scene in the Mingguang Palace lingered for a long time, and Lu Furui, who was stunned in the Mingguang Palace, took a lot of medicine intermittently, but the ghost was born from the heart, and there was a ghost living in her heart, and she was afraid that it would not be good to take any medicine!
During these days, Wei Qingguan lived behind closed doors in her Yongning Palace, ignoring what was going on outside the window, only teasing the children in the hall and recuperating her body, no matter how powerful the rumors outside were, she only waited with peace of mind, waiting for the day she was looking forward to.
Lu Furui's psychological defense line has long been broken and vulnerable, but Concubine Xian is not, Concubine Xian is alert, especially when Shisu screams that day!
Banxia still doesn't understand what happened to the coffin that suddenly burned, if she didn't know that Wei Qingguan could use phosphorus powder to make ghost fire, maybe she would really believe the so-called Concubine Min's soul return.
On this day, when she couldn't help but wonder in her heart and asked Wei Qingguan, Wei Qingguan only took a handkerchief and dipped it in the wine jar, and then lit the fire, the fire was the same as the fire in the coffin that day, until the fire burned out, the handkerchief was already safe and sound, and Banxia woke up like a dream, only sighing Wei Qingguan's wisdom!
In fact, where is it wise, the extremely high concentration of alcohol was hidden under the coffin as early as when the golden silk nanmu was carried into the Mingguang Palace, as long as he moved during the funeral, he would spontaneously combust when he touched that little spark, Wei Qingguan's calculation was just right.
Sometimes, ghosts are no longer in this world, but they are really in people's hearts!
