Chapter Forty-Nine: A Red Dress Leads a Female Ghost
Chen Jing said: "Ah Yong, why do you need to pick me up in person?"
Lin Yong withdrew his gaze from Ling Qian'er, patted his thigh and said angrily: "Something is wrong, Yin Niangniang of Yonghe Palace was killed by evil spirits." ”
Chen Jing was shocked: "Aren't all palace maids and eunuchs who usually die?"
Lin Yong said with a sad face: "As soon as the two palace maids stepped into Yin Niangniang's dormitory this morning, they saw the corpse of the palace maid who kept the night vigil, like a dried corpse dead in the desert, which was extremely terrifying. Frightened, they screamed and ran out, and several bold eunuchs entered the dormitory and lifted the veil on the bed together, only to find that Yin Niangniang and the palace maid had died exactly the same. The emperor was furious, reprimanded the patrolling guards for neglecting their duties, and the palace maid was not effective in supervising the master, and punished all those who should be punished, and scolded me, saying that if there was any more death in the palace, my head would be cut off. I'm really out of the question, Ajing, you're going to have to help me anyway. ”
Min Kong said: "This murderer is not an extraordinary person, and it is not something you can stop. ”
Lin Yong sighed: "This is the reason, but I can't reason with the emperor, right?"
Min Kong comforted: "Don't worry, when I see the emperor, I will explain it to him well." ”
Lin Yong clasped his hands into fists and said, "Thank you, master, thank you, master." ”
Lingqian asked them, "Do the dead have anything in common?"
The eunuch, who had been bowing his head and being silent, suddenly said: "The deceased are all relatively young, and there is no age. At first it was all women, and then there were both men and women. ”
The eunuch thought for a moment, and then said, "I found that the deceased had red clothes, or tunics, or shoes, or belts, and a dead maid wore a big red flower on her head. That's all my guess, though......"
"Interesting. ”
Ling Qian'er waved her hand, and a brocade blocked between her and the others, and after a while, the brocade slipped down, and Ling Qian'er in front of her had already changed into a red dress, and her hair was coiled into a loose bun, and a purple hosta full of aura was inserted into the bun.
This red dress is not as red as the wedding dress, it is a softer carmine, which makes her skin as white as porcelain, which is particularly beautiful.
Several people were stunned again, except for the monk of mercy.
"What are you doing here?" asked her nervously.
"I'm curious, what kind of evil thing is so sensitive to red. Ling Qian'er stroked the little jade flute, with a relaxed face.
"This evil is causing chaos in all countries and killing countless people, I am afraid you will ......"
Lin Yong asked, "The girl is a fairy who knows magic?"
Min Kong hurriedly said: "She can't help you catch the demon, I invited Miss Lin to Changwang's Mansion just to treat her." ”
"It's just a little ghost that sucks essence, and a really powerful demon wouldn't do that. Didn't you say it, fate comes and goes, there is a fixed number, if you can really meet it, it means that I have a fate with this evil, rest assured, I have my own measure. Ling Qian'er said.
"What do I mean?" Minkong was anxious and annoyed, "In case the other party is a ruthless character, I'm afraid I, a monk who can only eat fasting and chant Buddha, won't be able to protect you." ”
Ling Qian'er gently held his hand and comforted, "It's okay, don't worry." ”
She suddenly turned her head to look at the eunuch beside Minkong, just in time to catch his gaze that had just been removed from the back of her hand.
Ling Qian'er let go of her empty hand, held her chin with one hand, and said: "The emperor's woman must be as beautiful as a flower, and this monster doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, maybe it's a woman." ”
Lin Yong panicked: "Ah? Could it be that you killed someone who was prettier than you? Oh no, wouldn't my cousin be in danger." ”
Ling Qian'er said: "Not necessarily, I guessed randomly." ”
The carriage stopped in front of the Chang'an Gate.
Ling Qian'er was the first to jump out of the carriage, dressed in red, and almost blended into the palace wall.
There was a thin eunuch standing in front of the door, and when he saw Chen Jing, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The emperor is waiting for you in the imperial garden." ”
Min Kong whispered: "When I see the emperor, I will take you to find Miss Lin, you are not allowed to run around, we are not here to catch demons." ”
Ling Qian'er nodded, but she didn't think so in her heart.
Far away, I saw two rows of guards with knives, each of whom was more than eight feet tall, with a vigorous and majestic posture.
In the pavilion of the imperial garden, the emperor in the dragon robe sits on the main seat, on both sides are beautiful maids, and more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs are waiting on the side.
When the emperor saw them, he hurriedly said: "Ah Jing is exempt from courtesy, and the master is exempt from courtesy, and he will be given a seat." ”
Lin Yong stood aside, staring nervously at the surroundings, as if the evil would appear at any moment.
The emperor said: "Ah Jing Ke has heard about it, Xue'er ...... her."
Chen Jing said: "I heard Lin Yong say, the royal brother mourns. ”
The emperor mourned: "Is it that I did something wrong, so God wants to punish me, today is Xue'er, tomorrow is the prince, and the day after tomorrow is ......"
A lady said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself, I think she is to blame." ”
Another lady said: "Concubine Yin is jealous, relying on the emperor's favor, she is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and she has done all the bad things, and it is not unusual for anyone to kill her." ”
The emperor wiped away his tears and wondered, "Bad thing?"
"There are rumors that Concubine Xuan's mother and son were killed by her, and some people say that the evil who is making trouble in this palace is Concubine Xuan's unjust soul, after this rumor spread in the palace, Concubine Yin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to go out of the door. ”
Emperor: "......"
At this time, a eunuch came in a panic to report that many dried corpses had appeared in the north of the imperial garden.
Lin Yong immediately dispatched a team of Imperial Forest Army to escort the emperor away, and then went to check with Chen Jing, and also brought more than a dozen skilled guards.
Lingqian'er followed, but Minkong couldn't stop her, so she had to follow.
The first to find the body was an elderly palace maid, who walked in front with the eunuchs who had come with him from the Changwang Mansion to lead the way for everyone.
Ling Qian'er looked left and right carelessly, and the little flute did not leave her hand.
Turning a corner, Ling Qian'er felt the resentment that filled the air.
On the grass in front of them were more than a dozen dried corpses, scarlet silk scattered around the corpses, and the light red veil danced back and forth against the ground.
Ling Qian'er twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Where did you get so much red satin?"
The old palace maid replied: "It was given to Concubine Ning by the emperor, and it will be her birthday in a few days." ”
Ling Qian'er shook her head and sighed: "I just died of a concubine, and I am in the mood to reward other women, it seems that the emperor's tears are the least valuable." ”
Min Kong said: "Qian'er, don't talk nonsense. ”
Ling Qian'er stuck out her tongue at Minkong, stared at the old palace maid for a while, pointed ahead and said, "Please aunt go over and take a look, how many people have died in total." ”
"Yes. ”
The goddess of the old palace indifferently counted the dried corpses on the ground.
The old eunuch also followed her, looking at them one by one, and the short and fat figure could not tell whether he was squatting or standing.
Ling Qian'er suddenly turned around and said, "Something is wrong with those two people. ”
Lin Yong asked her, "What's wrong?"
Ling Qian'er said: "It's not good, it doesn't feel like a human." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yong was scared.
Lingqian'er said: "Don't be afraid, I will protect your safety." ”
She pulled the goblins from the silver bracelet, and the transparent enchantment formed by the goblins protected them.
Ling Qian'er rubbed her temples and said, "This sky-high resentment gives me a headache, it seems that this evil is not a simple character. Stay honest in the barrier, I can't deal with him and protect you at the same time. ”
"You're still going to catch demons?"
"He must have been stimulated by killing so many people at once, if he doesn't catch him quickly, what if he goes crazy and kills people when he sees them?"
He was stunned, closed his eyes and put his hands together and said, "Amitabha." ”
Chen Jing said: "How can you let the girl go to catch the demon alone? ”
Ling Qian'er said: "If you go into battle to kill the enemy, you will definitely be one enemy and one hundred, but this is a demon and a monster in front of you, so leave it to me, the only thing you can help me is to protect the sky." ”
Chen Jing looked at the thin Ling Qian'er in front of him, and was a little embarrassed: "There are also patrolling Taoist priests in the palace, they should be on the way here, the girl might as well wait for a while before going out." ”
Ling Qian'er walked out of the enchantment, stretched, and said, "It's enough for me to deal with him alone, too many people are bad." ”
The old palace maid came back, she glanced at the little demon enchantment, and replied calmly: "Girl, a total of thirteen people died, four guards, two eunuchs, and seven palace maids. ”
Ling Qian'er said, "Youlao, how long have you been in this palace?"
"It's been more than twenty years. ”
"Is that the first time you've encountered something like this?"
"No, that's a ......"
Ling Qian'er suddenly plunged a wooden dart tied to the blood charm into her chest, and then kicked her two feet away.
Thousands of blood threads stretched out from the blood talisman, firmly tying the old palace maid to an ancient tree.
She looked puzzled, not understanding where she was exposed.
Ling Qian'er tilted her head and smiled mischievously: "An old mother who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, when she sees so many corpses with strange deaths, not only does her face not change, but she can also calmly count how many people have died, who they are, interesting, you are a strange person." ”
She shouted at the eunuch in front of her again: "Father-in-law, who are you sacred? ”
The eunuch hurriedly ran over and defended: "I am the eunuch in charge of Yin Niangniang's palace. ”
"Don't pretend, I began to doubt you when I was in the palace, if you still act with me, I will beat you until you show your true face. Ling Qian'er pointed at him with a jade flute in her hand and said.
The father-in-law froze, the fat on his face was piled together, and he praised with a smile: "Qian'er is still as smart as ever, and she can't hide anything from your eyes, but I don't understand, I hide it so well, why do you still doubt me?"
Ling Qian'er was stunned, how could this familiar voice be him?
The hand that held the flute began to tremble slightly......
The father-in-law instantly became much taller, ripped off the mask from under his neck, and tore off the silver-haired old face, revealing the face that Ling Qian'er once loved the most and now hated the most.
Ghost King Black Cicada!
It's still the same black clothes, but there is less mandala flower on his chest, and there is more golden dragon that soars through the clouds. A pair of deep and cold eyes were embedded in a face without any expression, making him even more indifferent.
He looked at Ling Qian'er, then turned his head to look at the people in the enchantment, and Chen Jing hurriedly protected Minkong behind him.
The smell of death surrounded them, making them shudder.
