Tianlong guards search the palace, which is really different from the ordinary eunuch guards search the palace.

Jinyang Palace was almost turned over by this group of people in official uniforms.

Concubine Ning sat on the main seat where Concubine Cao Guifei sat on weekdays, and Gonggong Zhang, who was kneeling in front of her, trembled, listened attentively to the movements of Tianlongwei behind him, and kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves.

Luo Sinan stood beside Concubine Ning, watching his men shuttle with an indifferent expression, and threw the suspicious things he found in the main hall. His face was gloomy, his thin lips were tightly closed, and his temperament was completely different from that when he gaged with Ji Jingyang and Ji Cunyan on weekdays, and even his naturally slightly curved eyebrows and eyes had no smile.

There were a lot of things found, but they were only some things that men and women had given and received privately, gold and silver jewelry lost in the palace, suspicious pills, forbidden books, etc., and there was no evidence of witchcraft. And in Cao Guifei's inner room, nothing can be found.

Concubine Ning turned around to look at Luo Sinan. Luo Sinan thoughtfully bent down to listen to the order.

Concubine Ning said in a low voice, "Are these things useful?" ”

Luo Sinan also said in a low voice: "Concubine Cao Guifei is not strict with the servants in the palace, but she can take away her title of concubine." In addition, she contradicts His Majesty, and after tonight, she may have to give a salute to Niangniang and call herself a 'concubine'. ”

Concubine Ning was amused by Luo Sinan and laughed.

Luo Sinan continued, "But if you want to nail the concubine Niangniang, I'm afraid these things are still not enough." After all, Cao Guifei's family background is illustrious, and she also has a lot of connections with the Queen Mother. Even if we change the palace maids and eunuchs under her, we can't stop her from using Gu magic to harm people again. ”

Concubine Ning said: "We have already taken a startle, and those important evidences have been almost handled by her." ”

Luo Sinan said: "This is not difficult, under the torture of Tianlongwei, I am not afraid that these people will not be able to spit out anything." ”

When Father-in-law Zhang heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed, but he couldn't say anything.

Tianlongwei's methods, not to mention outside the palace, are also terrifying even in the palace.

Concubine Ning sighed: "These eunuchs and palace maids may not really know anything, so why bother them?" ”

Luo Sinan said: "Look at the things in this place, this group of people is not a good thing. Cao Guifei may not only use witchcraft to harm people, and those little palace maids who died inexplicably in the palace, maybe these people can't get rid of it. ”

When Gonggong Zhang heard this, his head knocked louder, and he said straightly: "The adults spare their lives, the mothers spare their lives, and the little ones are also instructed by the concubines." If there was no instigator of the concubine, how could the little ones dare to commit such a felony! ”

Luo Sinan only waved his hand, and Gonggong Zhang was taken down by Tianlongwei.

Luo Sinan said to Concubine Ning: "Very good, Niangniang, after we cheated like this." Cao Guifei's 'concubine', I'm afraid you won't be able to hear it. ”

Concubine Ning saw that there was probably no more to be gained from searching the palace, so she said to Luo Sinan: "You come with me." ”

The two walked straight to the backyard and stood by the pond.

Concubine Ning said: "The water here is very strange. I think the crux of the problem is still here. ”

"Dare to ask Niangniang, where is this water monster?"

Concubine Ning pointed to the pond and said, "There are no living creatures in this water. ”

Luo Sinan frowned and said: "But Xiao Yan said that she feeds the fish by the pond every day, and also said that the fish in this pond are half a person's length." At night, he dared to devour the Qilin Gu, which was very violent. ”

Concubine Ning said: "Those are not ordinary fish, but the hosts of Gu worms. Once the Gu worms burrow these carp as hosts to parasitize, the movement of these fish will be controlled by them. Infected with the poisonous aura of Gu worms, he can't control his body's actions left and right. Over time, these fish have become walking dead. In the eyes of the Gu Master, these are no longer living creatures. ”

"In other words, all the fish, shrimp and crabs in this pond already have Gu worms in their bodies?"

Concubine Ning nodded.

"Shhh...... It's not going to be easy. Do you want to drain the lake and burn it all at once? ”

Concubine Ning said: "That's not necessary, my Gu King can solve this pool of Gu worms." However, if my Gu King makes a move, I am afraid that there will be no evidence left in this pool. ”

Luo Sinan said: "Then drain all the water in the pool!" ”

Tianlongwei did things neatly, and when the sky was bright, the water in the pond had already been drained.

Concubine Ning sat thoughtfully in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Luo Sinan stood beside her.

Concubine Ning watched a few big fish with excellent colors stranded and struggling in the mud in the pond, and only sighed and said, "Actually, these fish are very pitiful with these Gu worms. ”

Luo Sinan said: "Niangniang is kind and kind. ”

Concubine Ning stood up, walked to the pavilion railing that surrounded the city with mahogany, and said, "Since the day of its existence, Gu worms have been disgusted and feared by mortals, and they are regarded as the most evil and vicious things in the world. But the Gu worms themselves were only cultivated by people through various means. They did not come to the world of their own free will, and their horrible and vicious actions in the eyes of mortals were merely for the sake of survival and reproduction. They don't know right from wrong, good and evil, and their notoriety is nothing more than the actions of Gu masters. ”

Luo Sinan said: "Niangniang is still so sentimental." ”

Concubine Ning smiled at Luo Si Nanwan and said, "You may not understand my words. After all, I am a Gu Master, and what I think and think is different from ordinary people. I've been facing Gu worms for a long time, and sometimes I think they are more cute and reliable than people. With that, she touched the jewel on the ring on her hand.

Luo Sinan put away his smile and said to Concubine Ning: "Niangniang is cautious." ”

Concubine Ning disagreed, and said, "Your Majesty has long known about this matter. ”

Luo Sinan said: "Your Majesty knows that Your Majesty knows, but no one else in the palace can know about it." If it is heard by the queen mother, the queen or other people with a heart, join the Niangniang book, saying that Niangniang is a Gu master and will do evil magic. Don't say that Niangniang's concubine position is not guaranteed - naturally, the minister also knows that Niangniang doesn't care about this. Niangniang, the generation of the Dian Kingdom is safe, but it is also in the hands of Niangniang. ”

Concubine Ning sighed and said to Luo Sinan: "Thank you Lord Luo for mentioning it." This palace grew up in the Dian Kingdom since childhood, and I really don't understand much about these intricate etiquette conflicts in the Central Plains. ”

The two were talking, when suddenly a Tianlong Guard, who was searching in the lake, waved a torch at the pavilion and shouted: "Lord Luo, there is a discovery here!" ”

Luo Sinan frowned, and before he had time to change into his shoes and pants, he stepped on the railing of the gazebo, performed light skills, and jumped towards the place where the torch was.

It was a corpse.

The body was placed inside a coffin made of crystal. Half of the coffin was sunk in the mud and only half was exposed. The crystal material is crystal clear, and you can vaguely see the image of a woman in the coffin.

"This ...... What to do? Tianlongwei asked Luo Sinan, "I heard that such a thing as opening the coffin and lifting the corpse is very evil." Shall we wait for Lord Ji? ”

Luo Sinan looked up at the slightly white sky in the east, and said, "It's going to be dawn, and opening a coffin won't cheat the corpse, right?" But I can't say for sure, this coffin is placed here to feed Gu, and it must be very evil. Forget it, carry the coffin up first. ”

So, five or six more Tianlongwei gathered, and everyone wanted to work together to carry this coffin to the shore. But several Tianlong guards used their strength to eat, and the coffin did not move at all.

Concubine Ning stood in the pavilion at this time and said to Luo Sinan: "Lord Luo, take a look, is there a root under this coffin, and the coffin is planted on the ground?" ”

Luo Sinan squatted down, pulled out the dagger in his boots, brushed away the mud at the bottom of the coffin, and sure enough, he saw that at the bottom of the crystal coffin, countless dense, earthworm-thick blood-red stems and roots stretched out, and pierced deep into the ground.

He turned back to Concubine Ning and said, "There are indeed roots!" ”

Concubine Ning, like Luo Sinan, stepped on the railing and jumped into the pool.

Her move made these Tianlong guards startled and took a step back.

Luo Sinan said: "It's all silt here, please be careful!" ”

Concubine Ning was dressed in white, but she didn't care about the mud under her feet at all, she just raised her hand to caress the crystal coffin, her brows furrowed. The "jewel" on the ring on her hand suddenly changed from blue to blood-red.

Concubine Ning said to Luo Sinan: "This is not a coffin. ”

Luo Sinan asked, "Then what is this?" ”

Concubine Ning said: "This is a Gu. ”

She said this strangely, and Luo Sinan and his men looked at each other for a while.

Luo Sinan asked, "This whole ...... Both? ”

Concubine Ning nodded, "This is a very vicious Gu technique, called the method of reincarnation. This big Gu, in the belly, should be a living person. ”

"You mean...... What's inside, is it alive? Luo Sinan pointed to the woman in the crystal coffin.

Concubine Ning nodded.

Everyone felt a chill rise from their feet.

"Hey! What are you doing? What is that? Coffin? Suddenly, Ji Cunyan's voice came from the pond.

She was also followed by Ji Jingyang and Jian Shaolin.

Luo Sinan said to Concubine Ning: "Niangniang, can you help us pull this Gu out of the ground?" ”

Concubine Ning nodded.

So, Luo Sinan turned back to Ji Jingyang and said, "Come down and take a look at a strange thing, and see it for a long time." Xiao Yan, don't come down, it's dirty in the mud. ”

Ji Jingyang knew that Luo Sinan would definitely not stop Ji Cunyan from going into the water for this reason, probably the coffin-like thing was a little dangerous. Again, he pressed his sister's shoulder and motioned for her to obey and not go down.

Ji Cunyan pouted, but there was no choice but to wait on the shore.

Ji Jingyang and Jian Shaolin also jumped to the crystal coffin, or the huge crystal Gu edge.

Concubine Ning flicked the ring in her hand, took the Yunnan Gu King off the ring jade holder, and placed it on the coffin board of the crystal coffin.

The Gu King broke through the coffin board and got into the coffin.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt an unusual vibration under their feet. Looking down, it was the red roots that quickly shriveled and retreated into the coffin. The crystal coffin shook a little, then tilted to one side, and sank down a few more points into the mud.

The rhizomes of the crystal coffin had all shrunk and could no longer grip the ground.

Concubine Ning said to everyone: "You can open the coffin." ”

Tianlongwei, you look at me, I look at you, but in the end, they all looked at Ji Jingyang.

Ji Jingyang nodded, signaling that the coffin should be safe.

Lifting the lid of the crystal coffin, there was indeed a woman lying in the coffin. It's just that this woman is described as withered, and her whole body is only covered with a dry skin, which can cover the bones, and she looks like a dried corpse.

Luo Sinan asked Concubine Ning: "Niangniang, you said that this is a living thing?" ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the "dry corpse" suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were blazing. She had been locked up in this coffin for the rest of her day, when a breath of fresh air poured into the coffin, which made her sober in an instant, and she opened her mouth and took a large breath of air deep and greedily, only to fill the whole paper lantern-like chest cavity bulging like a bellows.

This appearance was so weird that even Tianlongwei was so frightened that he retreated again and again.

Where is this ordinary living creature? This is clearly a demon and a monster!

Concubine Ning was not afraid, but her face was sad, she looked down at this corpse that was not human, ghost or ghost, and said, "Concubine, see Concubine Cao Gui." ”
