Chapter 14: Demons, Take Your Life!
The demon is not the true demon and the road is not the way, and the compass swings the bronze mirror.
But he laughed at treachery and tricked spells, and made a cocoon to bind his life.
"Let's go and see the situation of the princess first!" The Taoist priest took the lead in walking to the door, and the prince seemed to have suddenly found a savior and followed closely.
I heard the princess crying again: "Go away, don't come, don't come... ”
The princess took the Taoist priest into the Fuxi Pavilion, only to see the tables and chairs in the house overturned, the scene was messy, a mess, the princess didn't seem to see anyone come in at all, her hair was messy, and she only showed a pale face wearing a sheet, sitting in the corner of the wall trembling in horror, with words in her mouth but not knowing what to say.
Murong Ningshuang saw the prince and the Taoist priest standing at the door, and hurriedly ran to the prince's side crying and begging: "Father, hurry up and save Shuang'er's mother and concubine, Dao Chief, please hurry up and save my mother!" As he spoke, he knelt down on the Taoist chief and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Miss, please get up! Rong Poor Dao will take a look at it first, and then it will not be too late to save the princess. ”
The Taoist chief pulled the prince aside and said, "Poor Dao looks at the princess is evil, this evil thing is very powerful, you have to act quickly, otherwise the princess will be worried about her life." ”
"Dao Chief, what to do now, you don't have to say it directly, as long as you can save the princess's life, just the pipe chief orders, and this king will do it."
"Good! With the attitude of the prince, Poor Dao has no worries, and when Poor Dao first goes to the courtyard to take a look. ”
The Taoist chief swept the dust in front of the princess a few times, and said that it was strange, but the princess actually quieted down, and seemed to be much more sober at once, and suddenly felt ashamed of her behavior, and felt strange about everything in the house, and began to tidy up her clothes. When the prince saw it, his eyes showed a light of surprise, and he was secretly surprised! He nodded to the Taoist chief and bowed his waist to worship as a god.
The prince accompanied the Taoist chief to walk around the courtyard, and the Taoist chief looked east and west in a pretentious manner, sometimes brushing his beard, sometimes staring at the compass and frowning, and finally suddenly pointed to the west wing with a whisk and said, "Where is the problem." ”
At this time, in the Fuxi Pavilion, there was a ridiculous scene, the princess was secretly eating the food brought by Murong Ningshuang, and Murong Ningshuang was standing behind the curtain and staring at the movement in the courtyard.
In the Ning Xiang Pavilion, Murong Ningyan was sitting quietly in front of the window embroidering, and Liu Wu'er was staring at the embroidery needle in Murong Ningyan's hand, shaking the fan in her hand.
Sensing movement outside, he looked up at the window.
I saw the prince with a solemn face and a long hurried towards the Ning Xiang Pavilion.
Liu Wu hurriedly touched Murong Ningyan with his hand, and said softly: "The prince is here, I feel that the person who came is not good!" ”
"The slave has seen the prince!"
Murong Ningyan put down the needle and thread, turned around and stood up and blessed the prince: "Yan'er greets my father!" When my father came, did he come looking for Yan'er? ”
At this time, the Taoist took two steps forward, staring at the plum blossom on Murong Ningyan's forehead with his eyes, seeing that Murong Ningyan was extremely uncomfortable, he took a few steps back, and thought to himself: This person is indeed not good, could it be that he wants to make a fuss about my plum blossoms?
The Taoist stared at Murong Ningyan with unblinking eyes, and seemed to see the clue, so he pulled the sleeve of the prince and walked out of the door.
Murong Ningyan glanced at Liu Wu'er, and Liu Wu ran out of the door knowingly.
The Taoist chief said: "Let's go to the prince's study to talk in detail!" So the two of them walked quickly to Moyuan Hall.
"Lord Wang! You said that the woman was your youngest daughter? ”
"Exactly, may I ask the chief, what's wrong with my daughter?"
"According to the poor road, the problem lies with this woman."
The prince gasped: "How do you say this?" ”
"She has too much demonic energy, and the prince has to answer the poor question. If there is anything to hide, please forgive the poor road for not being able to do anything. The Taoist chief spoke in a tough and calm tone.
"Whatever the Taoist chief wants to ask, this king promises to answer truthfully."
"Has your daughter been out lately? Was the plum blossom on her forehead born? ”
The Taoist chief asked, and the king said bluntly, not long ago, the little girl unfortunately fell off the cliff, but fortunately picked up a small life. As for this plum blossom, this king is also wondering, how can a good and decent plum blossom be born, it seems that it is there after coming back this time. ”
"That's right, lord, with all due respect, she is no longer your daughter now, and the princess's illness is only because she is doing something wrong!"
"Can't! How could she not be my daughter? ”
"Lord Wang, you want to! With such a high cliff, who will survive if they fall? And what about her? Not to mention that he was not killed by a fall, and he was unharmed, there must be an article in this! ”
"Is that really the case? What should I do about it? The prince gasped, broke out in a cold sweat, and asked with wide eyes.
"Lord Wang, with all due respect, have you ever heard of borrowing a corpse to return the soul? Now she is possessed by a demon, this demon is not removed, not to mention that the princess's life is not guaranteed, even the entire palace will never be peaceful! The Taoist said and raised his voice, which made people shudder.
"Please also ask the Taoist to hurry up and cast a spell, and give as much silver as you want." At this time, the prince was already in chaos, and he had already lost his master.
The Taoist chief looked up at the sky, and the heavy rain had stopped at some point, so he laughed and said, "Hahaha! God help me! The prince ordered someone to set up a big pot in the courtyard, pile firewood and grass next to it, and tie the demon girl to the firewood and grass pile. The demon girl is too evil to be destroyed by fire. However, when preparing props, it is important to ensure that no one is watching, and the heavenly machine must not be revealed, otherwise you will not be able to capture this demon, remember to remember! ”
The prince hurriedly ordered to go down, and soon, the subordinates set up a large cauldron in the courtyard, and a large pile of firewood and grass was piled up next to it, and a large wooden stake was erected in the middle.
The Taoist priest whispered something in the ear of the prince, and as soon as the prince beckoned, a group of family members took the rope and went straight to the Ning Xiang Pavilion.
In the Ning Xiang Pavilion, the Li family accompanied Murong Ning Yan to practice the piano. Seeing a group of family members suddenly break in with ropes, the Li family was so frightened that they hurriedly hugged Murong Ningyan and said, "What are you going to do?" She is the second young lady, and you are not allowed to come nonsense. ”
"Second lady, please don't blame us, we came to tie up the second lady on the order of the prince, what did the prince say, how do we have to be subordinates, how dare we disobey?"
The Li family begged bitterly, and the leading family member said: "In the past, the second lady and the second lady treated our subordinates well, and everyone acted lightly. ”
After speaking, the leader turned his head away, and three or four people came up and pulled Li to the side, and the other pulled someone and said: "Second Miss, how offended!" He tied Murong Ningyan's hands behind him with thick hemp rope and pulled him out.
In the courtyard, the Taoist dispersed everyone and asked people to bring a large bucket of oil from the kitchen and put it in the pot. At this time, Murong Ningyan was brought, and the Taoist chief ordered someone to tie Murong Ningyan to the pillar on the firewood and grass pile, and then ignite the fire under the cauldron.
At this time, behind the window of the east wing, two heads were dangling behind the curtains, too far away to see it, and they couldn't wait to see a good show.
"Mother, I can't see it, it's still your old plan, this plan is good, even if she Murong Ningyan has great ability, it will be difficult to fly today."
At this time, all the family members were also gathered in the courtyard, and the Li family had already cried into tears, crawling to the feet of the prince and crying: "Ask the prince to be merciful, what mistake did Yan'er make, why did you treat her like this?" Lord, Yan'er is your daughter! Please look at the relationship between our husband and wife for many years, let us smoke, let me go for her, okay? Good no good? ”
Li's crying was terrible, and the grief moved everyone present, but he never moved the prince's iron-like heart. The prince sighed and said, "Alas! Get up! It's useless to beg, the Taoist chief said, she is no longer your daughter, but a demon, if you don't get rid of it, the whole house will never have peace. ”
"This long nonsense said, whether there is any abnormality in their children, is the mother knows best. The prince wants to listen to his nonsense, maybe he will get the benefit of acting here! Lee was devastated.
"Lord Wang, take this person away, here will prevent the poor way of doing things." The man took the peachwood sword and pointed at the Li family.
The prince ordered someone to pull the Li family aside, and everyone saw the Taoist head walking towards the cauldron.
At this time, the pot had begun to be covered with small bubbles, and I saw the Taoist chief swinging the dust on the side of the pot a few times, and then took out a piece of rune paper and pasted it on Murong Ningyan's forehead, returned to the side of the pot, and recited a string of incantations in his mouth: "Heavenly Garden place, the nine chapters of the law, I write today, ten thousand ghosts are hidden, and they are as urgent as the law." ”
At this time, I saw that a large pot of oil began to boil, and the Taoist chief rolled up his sleeves high for everyone to see, and then suddenly put his hands into the boiling oil pot. Everyone, including the prince, was frightened, grinning their teeth, blocking their eyes with their hands, but they couldn't resist the temptation of surprise, looked out from between their fingers, put their hands into the hot oil pot, and they were not fried! Such an unbelievable thriller scene is jaw-dropping.
What's even more incredible is that the Taoist chief looked calm, picked up his hands from the pot, and the hands were intact, which made everyone present sigh, and even Li Shi stared in shock and forgot to cry.
"Let's talk about how the princess suddenly became crazy." The Taoist Chief's move just now has increased a lot of convincing, and it's time to tell a story.
"This demon girl is a fox demon who has been cultivating for many years in the mountains, if it cultivates patiently, it can also transform into a human form after a few years, but she can't stand the pain of cultivation, can't withstand the yearning and temptation of the world, and was enlightened to learn that the second daughter of the prince fell off the cliff, so she borrowed her body, which is often said to borrow the corpse to return the soul."
"How can Hugh prove that she is not my daughter?" Li scolded angrily:
"How? She doesn't even know you, the mother, the people in the house, even the brother who loved her the most since she was a child, she doesn't know the habits, the rules are not understood, and even the embroidery work she has learned since she was a child is not at all, let alone painting and calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Isn't that the best proof of this? How else do you need to prove it? ”
