Ji Rufeng was in front of the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and wrote the word "Gu" neatly.

"This kind of thing is different from the demonic things we usually see. To be honest, it's just a more vicious poison that mortals have created themselves out of the poisons that exist in the world. Even so, it's more difficult to deal with. The poison of Gu worms comes from people's hearts, and even more so from people's hearts. There are many types of Gu techniques, but the cultivation methods and methods of Gu are different. Dian Gu and Xiang Gu, although they are all Gu, but the Gu master of Yunnan Gu may not be able to solve the Gu technique of Hunan Gu, and vice versa. Although our Xuanjing Hall can punish demons and subdue demons, it is indeed not our strength to kill insects and ants. ”

"There are many mages and secret agents in the Xuanjing Hall, but none of them have the ability to break the Gu technique?" Luo Sinan asked.

Ji Jingyang also looked at Ji Rufeng.

Ji Rufeng sighed and said, "The Xuanjing Hall has only been open for decades, and it is only the second generation to me. We have a lot of contacts with monks and Taoists, and our influence has always been limited to the Central Plains. Yunnan, Hunan, Shugui and other barbarian lands, we really rarely set foot in them. Zijing, the only one who may have dealt with Gu masters, is still suppressing demons in Shudi. ”

Luo Sinan sighed: "This is difficult, don't we really have to hurry up and go to the Dian Kingdom to find a Gu master to take care of this matter?" Your Majesty only gave me seven days, even if it was a thousand miles of horses day and night, this Dian Gu Master would not be able to save my head. ”

Ji Jingyang said to Ji Rufeng: "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense, at most you can't save his black yarn, it has nothing to do with his head." ”

Ji Rufeng laughed and said: "Actually, you don't have to go so far to the Dian Kingdom, there is a master in front of you, who may be able to help you." ”

Luo Sinan said happily: "In front of you? Are you going to put on your own clothes, Uncle Ji? ”

Ji Rufeng said: "Of course it's not me. It's Jian Shaolin of Qin Tianjian. ”

Ji Jingyang frowned.

Luo Sinan said: "Jian Shaolin? I thought that Qin Tianjian was more orthodox than Xuanjing Hall, why did they have something to do with Gu art? ”

Ji Rufeng walked out from behind the desk, walked to the door of the study, and closed the door. Only then did he speak: "Jian Shaolin once participated in the war of the first emperor against Yunnan as a general. ”

Ji Jingyang said: "It's the old prince, and now King Jing led the troops to fight and won a great victory in the battle of Dian in the Hui Dynasty." ”

Ji Rufeng said: "That's right. The land of Yunnan is poor and sparsely populated, but the people are extremely fierce and good at fighting, and there are many Gu divisions in the Yunnan army. I heard that in those three months of battle, most of our army fell to the hands of Gu worms. A Lingtailang of Qin Tianjian led his troops to fight for the first time, what do you think his mission in the army is? ”

Luo Sinan said: "Is it just to fight with the Gu Master?" ”

Ji Rufeng was silent for a moment and then said, "I can only say that I think so." No matter what, he must have seen more Gu techniques than all of us in the entire Xuanjing Hall combined. If he had fought Gu Master and could retreat with his whole body, then he would have quite a lot of actual combat experience. It was only fitting to ask him for help. ”

Luo Sinan touched his chin and said, "Uncle Ji is very reasonable. Qin Tianjian was already in charge of the affairs of the palace, and letting them fight Gu to exorcise evil spirits was also their business. ”

Ji Jingyang said: "Jian Shaolin, is this person reliable? ”

Luo Sinan said: "I look at people well. Your sister almost became a relative of the emperor, didn't they solve it for you silently? ”

Ji Jingyang said: "This person has dealt with us in Suzhou, and he is not authentic in his life. ”

Luo Sinan patted Ji Jingyang's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and I am watching, where can he go without being authentic?" ”

Ji Jingyang was silent.

That night, Ji Jingyang came out of the study and saw Ji Cunyan still sitting at the stone table in the patio, holding up his hair in a daze.

He walked over and sat down beside Ji Cunyan.

"Third brother."

"It's late, let's go to bed!"

"How is the case of the demon Gu in the palace?"

Ji Jingyang shook his head, indicating that there was no progress.

"Alas, it would be nice if Zhang Ji was here." Ji Cunyan propped up his chin again and said, "He has a little Gu King, there must be many ways to deal with witch Gu." ”

Ji Jingyang shook his head and said: "Zhang Ji is just a Xiang Gu, now the one in the palace is the Dian Gu, although they are all Gu, but the spell casting methods are different, Zhang Ji and his Xiang Gu may not be good at dealing with the Dian Gu." What's more, the Taoist method has not studied much Gu art. It's better to go directly to the Dian Kingdom to find a Gu master to come over. ”

"Alas, I can't ask Zhang Ji for help now. He was going to travel with his senior brother, and now he was not on Longhu Mountain[Note 1]. Third brother, do we have a copy of "Bai Ze Supplement" in our family? ”

Ji Jingyang frowned and said, "Yes, yes, how do you know?" ”

"What Zhang Ji said, he also said that his senior brother Zhang Yunchu was a real person, and he once asked you to borrow it. Zhang Ji also said that "Bai Ze Supplement" recorded the world's monsters and the method of restraint. In this book, did you talk about how to deal with Gu magic? ”

Ji Jingyang shook his head and said, "Gu is not a monster, but a monster made by a mortal with one hand. Maybe when "Bai Ze Supplement" was written, there was no Gu art in the world. It's just that now it seems that Gu magic is even more terrifying than ordinary demon magic. ”

Ji Cunyan said: "I read Zhiwei novels, saying that Gu worms are to put the most poisonous and poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants in the world in a big urn, let them kill each other, and the last one that survived is the most poisonous and powerful, and it is called 'Gu'." It sounds scary. ”

Ji Jingyang said: "All things are born in the world, and many solutions are just to live. Whether it's fangs or claws, it's just a tool for predation or self-preservation. As a result, he was taken advantage of, and in the end, he was forced to evolve into a monster step by step, which is also pitiful. ”

Ji Cunyan looked at his brother, and suddenly sneered: "Third brother, when you say this, you look like a Taoist monk who cultivates Taoism and learns Buddhism. ”

Ji Jingyang glared at Ji Cunyan.

"I'm going to sleep!" Ji Cunyan stretched and stood up.

Ji Jingyang looked at her and suddenly said, "You...... Lacking jewelry lately? ”

"Huh?" Ji Cunyan blinked.

"Have you run out of money?"

"What?" Ji Cunyan was even more puzzled.

"Don't you start every month and say you don't have any money? Tomorrow, you will take me to the major jewelry stores in the capital. ”

Ji Cunyan came to his senses, so he simply sat down again, approached Ji Jingyang and asked, "If you take a look, is it something I like, third brother, what will you buy for me?" ”

Ji Jingyang smiled and nodded.

"Wow! Are you sure? Great! The third brother is so good! Thank you, third brother! I'm going to go back and look at my treasure trove now, and see what I'm missing. ”

Ji Cunyan jumped back to his room.

On the second day, Ji Jingyang really took Ji Cunyan to visit the jewelry store.

Ji Cunyan pointed to a pair of tender yellow earrings and nodded to Ji Jingyang.

Ji Jingyang glanced at Luo Sinan.

Luo Sinan could only take a piece of silver aggrievedly and hand it to the boss, saying, "No need to look for money." ”

The boss smiled all over his face, took the silver with both hands, and said, "Thank you, Childe." Childe, you see what jewelry this girl likes, our store can give a 20% discount. ”

Luo Sinan said to Ji Jingyang: "You take your sister for a dowry?" ”

Ji Jingyang said lightly: "If you have a dowry, can you be so cheap?" ”

Ji Cunyan sneered, and said to Ji Jingyang: "Third brother, is this hairpin good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful."

Luo Sinan said while taking out the money: "You guys are simply Ling Chi's punishment, one knife at a time, it's better to give a good time, let me take Cuiyue Lou down." ”

Ji Jingyang said: "You think it's beautiful. Are we going to visit this one? ”

Ji Cunyan grinned and said, "Brother Luo, do you owe my third brother a lot of money?" ”

Luo Sinan raised his forehead and said: "I probably owe him a life in my last life!" ”

Ji Jingyang turned to the boss and said, "My sister likes peach, what peach-colored jewelry do you have here, like the one worn by a little girl of her age, take it out and let me see." ”

The boss hurriedly asked his men to prepare. In a few moments, a table was covered with peach-colored jewelry.

Ji Jingyang stared at the table earrings, pendants, hairpin bracelets, and finally found the peach-colored hairpin found in Jinyang Palace and Cui'er's baggage yesterday, and picked out a pair of earrings, two bracelets and a jade ring that he had seen yesterday.

"Childe has good eyesight, these are the most fashionable looks this year." The boss waited beside him, and leaned over at this time.

"If these add up, how much is it worth?" Ji Jingyang asked the boss.

Luo Sinan also came over.

"Well...... Although these materials are not expensive, the most important thing to sell jewelry today is style. This set is not cheap, but for the sake of the two sons and girls taking care of so much of our business, Miss Ji is still an old guest. Fold it up—"

"You don't have to give me a discount, you give me a market price." Ji Jingyang interrupted him.

"It's more than twenty taels. Buy twenty taels together, and if you buy it sporadically, you can shout twenty-five taels. The boss said.

"Third brother, do you want to buy so much? I already have some of them. Ji Cunyan leaned over and said.

Ji Jingyang looked at Ji Cunyan and said, "I don't buy these, it's not very lucky." ”

"Huh?" Ji Cunyan looked puzzled.

After all, it was the jewelry that Cui'er once wore that was burned to death by Gu worms.

The three of them left the jewelry shop and came to a teahouse for dinner.

Ji Jingyang changed a plate of bean paste buns in front of Ji Cunyan, and then said to Luo Sinan: "That set of pink jewelry, I have seen it in Cui'er's baggage." ”

Luo Sinan said: "Add more than 20 taels of silver, according to Cui'er, a palace maid with a very low status, she has to save for a few years to be able to afford it without eating or drinking." ”

"Why she was burned to death, the internal reason may not be simple."

"But that person in Jinyang Palace is not a simple character. It's not easy to get to the bottom of it. I think we'll have to send someone into it and make an internal response. Luo Sinan said while looking at Ji Cunyan.

Ji Cunyan looked up at him and said, "I'...... Yes? ”

Ji Jingyang said: "My sister has not been in the industry for a long time, and she is still inexperienced, so it is too dangerous for her to sneak into Jinyang Palace. ”

Luo Sinan smiled: "I know too well how smart and clever your sister is." I think she's up to the task. But you're probably reluctant to let your sister go on such a dangerous mission, right? It's just that the other female spies in Xuanjing Hall are not at the age of the little palace maid, and it is not suitable to enter the palace. Think about it or Xiaoyan is the most appropriate. ”

"I do!" Ji Cunyan said: "I'm not afraid of danger!" Don't worry, third brother, I'm very clever. It's going to be fine. ”

Ji Jingyang frowned slightly, and he was really reluctant in his heart. If it's a goblin next to it, it's fine. This time, he was in the deep palace, and he couldn't protect him. The second is that the Gu technique doesn't even know how to cast and how to crack the method, in case my sister falls into the Gu, how to resolve it?

Luo Sinan saw Ji Jingyang's concerns and said to him: "I will order someone to take care of your sister secretly, and I will also let Qi Yue's father-in-law assist from the side." With the ability of small words, he will be able to get out of the way. ”
