Legend has it that in the Heian period of Japan, it was a time when humans and yokai lived together. At that time, the streets of Kyoto were deserted at night, and all kinds of strange yokai would appear one after another, roaming the streets like a temple fair...... (Department. The column quotes the prototype in "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking", a story written in the air, and the background is ancient China)

Hundred ghosts nocturnal incense

The magical spices in the ancient records, according to legend, will slowly return with the lingering fragrance after being lit -

*

"Ning Guifei, come out and pick up the driver." The internal official urged.

"The emperor forgives her sins, the concubine has not been well in her body recently, maybe she slept too deeply, and the slave and maid immediately went to bed to urge her." Gong E saluted, hurriedly pushed open the red sandalwood carved door, and in an instant, a strange fragrance hit the nose, and everyone was stunned.

"What kind of incense do you use?" Emperor Long Qingyao smelled the fragrance, a little dazed, and a pair of eyes that were already stunned were even more covered with a layer of vast cold river mist.

"Back to the emperor, at the beginning of the month, the concubine went to Biyun Mountain to worship the Buddha, passed by a small Taoist temple, and chatted with the female Taoist in the temple for a while, this spice was given by the female Tao, what is the specific name, the slaves and maids are not very clear."

"Hmm." Long Qingyao walked into the next door, but Gong E, who went in to urge, ran out in a daze: "Your Majesty, your concubine, she, she,"

"She's out of breath......"

There was an uproar, everyone looked at each other, but Long Qingyao had no expression and continued to walk towards the inner bed. The stronger the aroma, Ning Guifei lay on the couch very peacefully, and even a smile was bent at the corner of her mouth.

"Ning'er, Ning'er!" The queen who heard the news threw herself on the side of the bed and cried silently: "It's all my sister's fault, I shouldn't have listened to my father and mother, and let you enter the palace...... Why can't you think about it like this, don't you still have your sister with you......"

The queen was heartbroken, and what she thought in her heart overflowed from her mouth without thinking, and the female officer behind her hurriedly pulled her sleeves, but Long Qingyao didn't mean to blame.

"If you are ...... Her sister was fine. Long Qingyao's voice was faint and almost vain, but the queen heard it very clearly, and her crying paused, compared to him, she could at least have tears, and he, even the woman's name didn't dare to call again.

Long Qingyao saw the sachet next to Ning Guifei's pillow, the black silk was embroidered with an incomprehensible pattern with a gold thread hook, and the fragrance was still intoxicating, but now in the eyes of everyone, it was as terrifying as a life-urging charm.

The internal official was about to take away this hoodoo, but Long Qingyao actually took it from his hand and hid it in his cuffs: "Take care of the queen, go back alone." ”

*

For several days, the internal officials and Gong E kept smelling the strange fragrance wafting from the crack in the door of the study, and they couldn't help but panic.

"Your Majesty, this incense has been checked by the imperial doctor and the warlock, saying what kind of 'soul rejuvenation incense' it is used to summon souls, the yin qi is heavy, you must not use it again."

"And the female Taoist who gave incense to Ning Guifei, the Imperial (Cha) Division sent someone to find it, who knows that it is not a female Tao, and even the Taoist temple is gone, this fact is bizarre, there must be something weird! This incense is not something evil. ”

……

Everyone said horrific outside the door, but Long Qingyao didn't react at all, and when everyone pushed the door in, they found that he had already fallen asleep. What's even more terrifying is that the expression he fell asleep was very similar to that of Ning Guifei, and there was also a dream-like smile on the corner of his lips.

"Hurry up and take the sachet away." The chief officer said. But everyone looked around the bed, but there was no trace of the sachet.

"The aroma seems to come from the emperor." A palace maid whispered.

Everyone couldn't do it for a while, after all, no one dared to touch the dragon body when the emperor was asleep, and no one could afford this great disrespectful crime.

Fortunately, Uncle Guo arrived with the warlock, and the warlock put the peachwood sword soaked in runic water on the end of Long Qingyao's nose for a while, and Long Qingyao woke up slowly, but there were wrinkles between his eyebrows, and he looked frustrated.

"Your Majesty,"

"Uncle, don't say it, you can't mention her, you can't mention ......" Long Qingyao raised his hand to block the sunlight that came in through the pane, just like when he was young, but he couldn't find the shadow between his fingers.

Uncle Guo sighed, motioned for everyone to stand aside, and walked out himself, leaving only the warlock standing beside him.

"Does the emperor know the true effect of this soul returning incense?" The warlock spoke calmly.

"Huh?"

"Actually, the Soul Rejuvenation Incense does not let her return to the yang world, but allows you to get closer to the underworld."

"I know." Long Qingyao's expression was depressed and calm: "Since I went to look for her, how could she come back......

"Even so, I have nothing to say, let it be as it is." The warlock bowed slightly, and walked away.

Uncle Guo looked at the warlock's dashing back, and was at a loss again. He tried his best to put Long Qingyao on the throne, but now he hasn't been on the credit book for a few years, he is good, he actually played misanthropy, what kind of Gu did that woman give him? Shouldn't it, aren't all the methods she knows are taught in her own house, why can't she unlock the lock she put on Long Qingyao?

"My lord, there is a girl who came to the house and said that she is a disciple of the female Tao and knows how to return the soul incense."

"Really? Bring her to the palace quickly, and I will question her personally. ”

Uncle Guo looked at the woman who walked in, dressed in white clothes like snow, three thousand green silk like ink, face like the moon, eyes with autumn water, but there was a beautiful fire lotus flower in the center of her eyebrows. Fire and water, love and hate......

"You," Uncle Guo furrowed his eyebrows, and a shadow suddenly hung over his heart, and at the same time, he swallowed all the inquiries back to his throat, waiting for the woman to speak herself.

"I'll go to bed tonight." The woman's cold tone seemed to inform her subordinates.

Uncle Guo endured his emotions and did not have a seizure: "I am looking for a master to detoxify, not a beauty."

"What's so difficult about this, people like the new and hate the old, and the reason why they can't forget the old people is because they haven't met a better new person. Hasn't Uncle Guo always been well versed in this, why is it vague now? ”

“…… What do you want? ”

"In the treasure pavilion of the palace, I can always pick some priceless things, and from now on I can be at ease and rich."

"Heh, much smarter than your two sisters."

"yes, they're stupid. Therefore, if I don't get a sum back from the emperor, I am really unwilling. ”

Uncle Guo looked at the woman's smile, and the luck became stronger, and immediately ordered the internal official to take her to Yuqiong Palace. Take a bath and change your makeup, and prepare for the waiter (bed).

"Girl, this fire lotus between your eyebrows, I covered it for you with incense powder." Gong E said.

"Why?"

"The girl doesn't know that after the accident three years ago, the emperor hated red." Gong E put on a blue veil for women, needless to say, it is also a rule that was changed three years ago.

At night, the woman wrapped in a soft blue veil and entered the study. When the chamberlain saw her come in, he retreated in amusement, leaving only an orange palace lamp illuminated by a night pearl.

Long Qingyao was bowing his head to drink, as if sensing the cold gaze, and slowly raised his handsome face. The woman was slightly stunned, this face was more handsome than she imagined, and a pair of eyes, like stars rippling in the shadow of the water, slowly disappeared in sorrow and coolness.

The woman walked up to Long Qingyao, gently (faded) the blue veil on her body, and soaked it in the wine jar on the side.

"Uncle Guo's vigilance is really strong, he took away all the ornaments, and he didn't even burn the lights, but as long as he didn't hesitate to do anything, he could succeed, didn't he?" As she spoke, she wrapped the blue yarn around Long Qingyao's neck, and the silk yarn soaked in wine was extremely flexible, and Long Qingyao fell to the ground in despair.

She gradually increased the strength in her hand, but Long Qingyao still had no intention of struggling.

"You want to die."

"It makes no difference between life and death."

"Now you are quite detached, why were you so ruthless in the first place." The woman twitched the blue yarn in her hand hard, Long Qingyao shrank, and her trembling moans were like a dream: "Sister-in-law, daughter-in-law......"

The woman let go as if she had collapsed, and the curvature of the faint smile on her lips couldn't suppress the rich bitterness.

The moonlight was like frost, sprinkled on the lonely emperor through the panes, and in the dream-like scene, the blue veil was like an ice-blue soul, snuggling on his shoulder.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I miss you so much......"

Suddenly, the strong fragrance of the rejuvenating incense filled like a fog, and the colorful past flowed away from his eyes like a picture scroll, Long Qingyao looked at it stupidly, but he didn't dare to stretch out his hand to keep it.

"Qingyao, tomorrow is your sixteenth birthday, and my uncle will give you a gift."

Long Qingyao was introduced by his uncle to the courtyard in the back garden, and he had heard from his cousins and cousins early on that there was a mysterious place in the back garden of the house, where there was a high back wall, and the sound of silk and bamboo could often float out, and sometimes there would be a woman's laughter or sobbing.

The courtyard door was opened by an elderly woman with gloomy eyes, and when she saw that it was Uncle Guo and Long Qingyao, she immediately put on a smile: "Hurry up and call the girls to come out." ”

Seeing this situation, Long Qingyao had already guessed seven or eight points. He knew that the princes and nobles all liked to raise doormen and beauties, and the doormen were used to give advice, and the beauties were naturally used as chess pieces and traps.

"These are all superior, you pick one, pretend to be a maid and take it with you, not only can you defend yourself, but you can also offer plans at any time in case you need them."

Long Qingyao looked at a row of stunning beauties, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, he was a prince, and he began to arrange concubines for him in the palace two years ago, but this time the situation was very different. In a way, the woman selected this time not only has the meaning of sharing suffering, but also exists like a weapon, and I am afraid that she still plays a role in prison. The role of vision.

Therefore, even if they have the color of a captivating city, when they think of their complex hearts like vines and poisonous weeds, people can't like it. You have to pick one, it's not easy to get annoying.

"Each of you writes a word on a piece of paper, folds it and hands it to me." Long Qingyao thought about opening his mouth.

After a while, the paper was presented, and he opened them one by one, and there were "heaven", "jun", "loyalty", and "sincerity...... I didn't feel satisfied, until I was about to finish reading, and I saw a "soul" written on a piece of paper.

"Who wrote this?"

"It's me." A woman took two steps forward and answered softly, she didn't look at Long Qingyao, but lowered her head slightly, looking at the shadow on the ground.

The woman was wearing a red gauze skirt, with an agate bead hairpin on the snake bun, and the red and dazzling halo illuminated the peach eye makeup more charming (demonic), but the eyes were cold.

"What's your name?"

"Yan Tao, but ...... My real name is Yan Wan. ”

"That's you."
