Chapter 176: Lost Soul
Before Li Yuntong and Mona walked out of the palace gate of the Potala, they met Songtsen Gampo.
It turned out that Songtsen Gampo heard that Dazan had not been in court for a few days because he had passed out in a coma, and he was a little worried, so he was ready to send someone to see it, and later heard that Mona begged Li Yuntong to make a move, so he changed his mind and wanted to go in person.
Songtsen Gampo didn't want to take the time to stay with Li Yuntong more, for him, Li Yuntong was just one of the many women in his harem, because her skin was like jade, and her beauty was unparalleled at the moment.
Although he is a little tempted by Li Yuntong, this kind of liking is still very light compared to his Jiangshan Sheji, and he is not the kind of king who abolish political affairs because of personal affairs, it is really the previous incident of raising little ghosts that shocked him, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on before he was relieved.
Fortunately, Tubo does not have as many rules and etiquette as the Tang Dynasty, and he has changed his private clothes, and he does not use the king's car, so the travel is not too eye-catching.
The group arrived at the Dazanshi Mansion, and after a hasty dinner, they went to the bedroom of the Dazanshi.
Although he was only in a coma for three days, Da Zanshi looked like a person who had been sick for a long time, his cheeks were obviously sunken, his exposed wrists were also flesh and skin, his green tendons were exposed like chicken feet, and the whole person looked like a skeletal body, as if something was devouring his vitality.
"Why are you thinner than when I went out before?" Mona was shocked when she saw it, she hurriedly walked to the bedside and asked the leading ambassador who had been taking care of her, "I remember that it wasn't so serious before I went out, why is it like this now?" ”
When the ambassador saw Songtsen Gampo and Li Yuntong, she knew that she was either rich or noble, and as soon as she bent down to salute, she heard Mona's question.
She looked sad and said eagerly: "Madam, the slave and maid don't know what is going on, but when she sees the old man, she is getting thinner and thinner, and at noon, the candle that the master has lit suddenly goes out, and then the old man becomes like this." ”
After hearing this, Mona's face suddenly turned pale, and she still clearly remembered that Na Ruomu had said at that time that the candles lit on the seven days were made by him himself, and the magic power was boundless, and someone had to look at it, so he could only change the candle and not let the candle flame go out, otherwise it would be a bad omen.
Look at the side, there are still four candles that have not been lit, why are they extinguished?
The ambassador quickly explained, "The slave maid has been sending people to change shifts to keep an eye on the candle flame, and the window and door have not been opened, and I don't know where the wind comes from......"
Mona didn't care about punishing people at this time, and she was about to shed tears when she took the skinny hand of Da Zanshi.
Although she is not beautiful in appearance, her husband treats her gently and considerately, they have long said that they want to live and die together, how can he ......
Songtsen Gampo coughed lightly.
Mona then remembered the person she had brought back, and hurriedly wiped the tears in her eyes, saluted Songtsen Gampo and them, and begged Li Yuntong to say, "Jiamusa, please take a look." ”
Li Yuntong saw the extinguished red candle in front of the bed, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then looked at the big praise that was dying with his eyes closed, and frowned.
She could feel a stream of air rushing out of Da Zan's body, and that air flow was the vitality of Da Zanshi. Originally, the candle flame could lock his vitality, going back and forth outside his body, but now the red candle is extinguished, and there is no way to stop it, as if there is some vitality to suck the great praise and go out.
Although it is very subtle, it keeps going out, and if it goes on like this, vitality gushes out, and the dark and filthy breath continues to drill in, I am afraid that in the middle of the night, yin and yang alternate, and the great praise will die.
Li Yuntong raised his hand and drew a talisman in the void, then reversed his palm and pasted it on the curtain of the bed of the great praise.
For Songtsen Gampo and Mona, all they saw was Li Yuntong making a few inexplicable gestures into the air.
"The extinguishing of the red candle means that the great praise is not in the soul, and the life is not guaranteed." Li Yuntong said bluntly, "I temporarily used a charm to keep the remnants of his remnant soul, but if I don't find the root cause of his life, he can't withstand the alternation of yin and yang." ”
Mona's tears immediately fell, and she cried and said, "What then? If he has three longs and two shorts, I will not live......"
Crying and about to throw himself on the bed, I want to hug Dazan and cry.
Li Yuntong grabbed her, and there were only a few breaths left in the big praise, but she couldn't stand her pounce, "Don't worry, the most shady place in your house...... Well, go to the ancestral hall in your house and have a look, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”
Because she didn't know what to say about the "ancestral hall" in Tubo dialect, she said Tang dialect by the way.
"Ancestral Hall?" Mona asked, sobbing, apparently she didn't understand the meaning of the word.
Li Yuntong looked at Songtsen Gampo, she didn't know how to explain the word.
Songtsen Gampo thought for a moment and said, "The place where the ancestral tablet is enshrined. ”
"Yes, it's the underworld. This soul-sucking spell can't be too far away, it should be located in your house. Didn't Nawakaki tell you when he came to set up the formation? ”
Mona shook her head, took the handkerchief from the handmaiden's hand, wiped her tears, and said, "He was afraid that I would stop him, so he didn't tell me anything, and he only confessed a few words before he was going to 'sleep'." I'll take you there now. ”
Before she could take two steps, Li Yuntong said: "Not only do we have to go, but we also have to choose one of your sons who is less than ten years old to take with us, and choose seven more children and men with strong blood and sufficient yang energy to guard this door, and no idle people are allowed to approach." ”
"Fortunately, the youngest son is not yet ten years old this year, otherwise he would be in trouble!" Mona rejoiced.
When she instructed the people to do things, Li Yuntong whispered to Songtsan Gampo: "After a while, Zampu, don't go over, just go with Mona, there are Qiufeng and them with you, you don't have to worry." ”
Songtsen Gampo frowned and said, "Why can't I go?" ”
Li Yuntong raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You are the king of the snowy region, if there is anything wrong in the past, I can't afford to take it." The underworld is full of dead souls, what the other party has done there, and now I don't know, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the son of the daughter does not sit down, and he does not dare to let you pass. ”
Although she was laughing, her words revealed the danger of this trip.
"Will it be dangerous?" Songtsen Gampo's face became serious, and he suddenly looked a little colder, "Then you are not allowed to go, this king immediately asked people to invite the archmage." ”
When Li Yuntong told him that night about Naruomu's raising of ghosts in the palace, Songtsen Gampo decided not to leak the matter, after all, it is good that the archmage has nothing to do with this matter, but if it is related, it will become a startling snake.
In Tibet, the archmage almost has the same power as Zampu, all the country's political affairs, military, the archmage will participate, since he did the position of stable Zampu, although he tried his best to suppress the power of Bon, promote Buddhism, but after all dynasties, Bon has been deeply rooted and leafy, it is difficult to shake.
Li Yuntong glanced at Songtsan Gampo, after last night, no matter whether this person took the unity of husband and wife to heart, but he could worry about his own safety, and he could be regarded as caring.
She chuckled softly: "It's okay, in case it doesn't work, I also have the ability to protect myself." If I have you with me, I still have to worry about you, and if there is any situation to protect you, it will drag you down. If you don't go, you're not in great danger. ”
Songtsen Gampo's heart was suddenly relieved, but he was not completely reassured, but he no longer insisted, "No matter what, you have to be fully prepared, and you must know how precious your life is." He glanced at the sleepy Da Zan, "Although he is an important minister of Tibet, he is incomparable with you." ”
The implication is that the lesser of two evils is really what, even if he can't save the big praise, Li Yuntong must ensure his own safety.
Li Yuntong nodded, and reminded Songtsan Gan to preach: "The spell I set in front of Dazan can be managed for two hours, once we don't come back after this time, Da Luo Jinxian can't save him, in these two hours, you must take someone to watch the seven people, and don't allow them to leave this door for half a step." ”
As she was talking, she saw that the person Mona had picked had already arrived, and she called two more people to be on the safe side.
As a result, Li Yuntong looked at it, ordered three people to come out, and said: "A few of them are not suitable, one is not strong in yang, one is not strong in blood, and the other is not a child." ”
Mona angrily said to the three men, "What did I just explain? Speaking of boy boys, what are you doing with it? ”
Two of them said that they didn't hear clearly, and one of them said with a stalk around his neck: "The little one is just eighteen, and he has enough qi and blood, why is he not a child man?" ”
The person in charge before said that he wanted seven men to guard the door for the master, and until the master woke up, he would be rewarded with two pieces of money, so much money, he had to mix one.
Li Yuntong looked at him and said quietly: "You have had three women before and after, and you were ...... with women last night."
The man immediately blushed and stepped back, and begged Mona for mercy: "Madam, the little one is wrong, and the little one doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
Mona didn't care about him at this time, but said hatefully, "Go down and get punished by the steward." Go find another man, and be quick. ”
Songtsen Gampo glanced at the few followers who followed him, and said to Baji: "This king remembers that you are still a child, so let you take it......
Li Yuntong looked at Baji's thirty-year-old face, opened his mouth, and didn't say the question in his heart.
Baji wanted to cry without tears in his heart, now, the brothers are going to laugh at him for being an old bachelor, why does Zampu order him in front of people......
He looked at Dorjee's smile again, his eyes widened, and he dared to be affectionate, these few who were smaller than him were all flowery intestines.
Seeing Zampu's gaze looking at him, Badge nodded calmly, his ears a little red.
When he arrived at the door of the ancestral hall on the Dazanshi Mansion, Li Yuntong bowed his head and said gently to the youngest son of Dazanshi: "In order to save your father, you need to use a drop of your blood, don't be afraid." ”
Mona looked at her youngest son and said to him, "Tawang, you Aba is sick, we have to save him, Jiamusa needs a drop of your blood to save you Abba, you are a brave child, stretch out your hand." ”
Dawang was stunned for a moment, looked at Mona and then at Li Yuntong, and obediently stretched out his hand to her.
