Chapter 231: Don't Hurry Up and Kneel Down and Call Master Ancestor (Two in One)
Shen Lingxi's speculation had just come out-ββ
Chunjun came to report with a solemn expression, "Your Highness, your subordinates are not doing their work effectively, and the man who manipulated the corpse has been killed!" β
The faces of the three people in the room all changed slightly.
The entire palace is guarded by black guards on the outside, and embroidered clothes on the inside.
Especially the man in the hood, who was personally interrogated by Chunjun, how could he be killed so easily?
"What's going on?" Chu Yan asked in a deep voice.
Chunjun: "He pretended to be an embroiderer, and when he came in, he said to give you orders." The subordinates knew that there was something wrong, and they originally wanted to plan and arrest him, but they didn't expect to say a few words to him, and when they saw his eyes, they didn't remember anything. When he came back to his senses, the man had been crushed by someone and died. β
"It's Urda's Zhuyushu." Shen Lingxi said firmly, "Zhu Youshu and intoxication, can control people invisibly, even a person with strong martial arts, without defense, it is difficult to resist in a short time." β
Chu Yan obviously also thought of Zhu Youshu, and said with a solemn expression: "He must still be in this mansion, I will personally take someone to arrest him." β
He looked at Shen Lingxi, "To be on the safe side, I'll let Chunjun send you back first, and then pick you up when I catch Urda." β
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Ling's eyes.
She knew that Chu Yan had good intentions, but she was not a fragile porcelain doll, especially at this time.
She bluntly refused: "I have to find them tonight, I won't leave." β
As soon as these words came out, Chunjun next to him looked slightly cold.
No one in Da Zhou knows that His Royal Highness is a man of all kinds.
To date, no one has dared to refuse his orders in public.
Even though Chunjun knew that His Royal Highness doted on the crown princess very much.
But this does not mean that she will be allowed to do whatever she wants.
Sending her out of the dangerous place is really for the sake of her safety.
The crown princess doesn't know what to do like this, and His Royal Highness is afraid that he will no longer indulge her unprincipledly like before.
However, to his surprise -
"Then I'll accompany you." Chu Yan said, raising his eyes to look at Chunjun: "You go ......"
"Your Highness." Shen Lingxi interrupted him for the first time, and said with a serious gaze: "Your Er is cunning by nature, good at Zhu Youju, and good at poison and disguise, Your Highness should know that you can personally lead people to find his traces in the shortest possible time." β
"Your Highness has what Your Highness should do, and I also have what I have to do. I won't do anything I am not sure of, and since Your Highness has chosen to 'marry' me, you should believe me. β
She deliberately insisted on the word "marriage", which was intended to remind him that contract partners should trust each other's abilities.
Chu Yan naturally understood.
His thin lips pursed slightly, but he rarely didn't respond.
Urda was the one who killed his mother's concubine, and even Chunjun could be hit, let alone her......
"Your Highness, don't worry, the crown princess is beside you, and there are officials." Mu Huai'an said positively on the side.
Chu Yan raised his eyes and looked at him sharply.
Mu Huai'an saluted him, and there was a frank look between his eyebrows, "The lower officials will definitely protect the princess's thoughtfulness." β
Chu Yan's jaw tightened.
He was silent for a few breaths, then took out a small Ming Di from his waist and handed it to Shen Lingxi, "Take this with you, if you encounter danger, use it to warn, I will come as soon as possible." β
That's what it means to agree with her and trust her.
The corners of Shen Lingxi's lips curled, and he responded with a smile.
"Let Chunjun accompany you." Chu Yan added, glanced at Mu Huai'an silently, and signaled him to abide by what he had just said.
Mu Huai'an waved his hands silently.
Shen Lingxi nodded, this time he didn't shirk again, and also instructed: "Zhu Youshu is performed by looking at the other party's eyes, if Your Highness meets him, be more careful and don't look at him." β
"Got it. You also have to be careful. With that, he looked at her deeply and strode out.
After he left, Shen Lingxi raised his eyes to look at Chunjun, "Take me to see the corpse of the man who controls the corpse." β
*
Chunjun led Shen Lingxi and Mu Huai'an to a small courtyard not far away.
Because it was late at night and something had just happened, the courtyard and the upper room were all lit with candles.
As soon as Shen Lingxi walked up the steps, he saw a thin white shadow, floating beside the corpse on the ground of the upper room.
The white shadow was none other than the hooded man who had just controlled Yun Hongshan's corpse.
It seems that she decided to come and take a look, and she really came to the right place.
There were several embroiderers stationed in the room.
Shen Lingxi walked to the bottom of the corridor and said to Chunjun: "I want to give this person an autopsy, please clear the scene, you can wait for me outside." β
Chun Jun responded, walked in and explained twice, and the embroidered messengers immediately withdrew from the room.
Taking advantage of Chunjun's absence, Mu Huaian turned sideways towards her, and asked teasingly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Can I go in with you?" Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
When Shen Lingxi heard this, his pupils suddenly tightened.
But in an instant, she guessed that it must be that night, all the words she said in front of Ah Weng were listened to by Mu Huai'an, and she would guess her identity.
"Whatever you want." Shen Lingxi said lightly, took a step without changing his face, and walked into the room.
Mu Huaian thought she would be startled.
I didn't expect such a calm reaction, but I was a little surprised, and I also walked in, and didn't forget to say to Chunjun: "I will also perform an autopsy, and I will assist the crown princess." β
After that, without waiting for Chunjun to react, he closed the door directly.
Chunjun innocently ate a closed door, was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, raised his hand and was about to knock-ββ
But he suddenly thought that Shen Lingxi bluntly rejected His Royal Highness......
Chunjun withdrew his hand knowingly, and said through the closed door: "The subordinates also know some post-mortem fur, if the crown princess still needs manpower, the subordinates will stay at the door." β
"Got it." Shen Lingxi's voice came from inside the door.
When Chunjun heard this, he knew that this was Shen Lingxi's intention to agree with Mu Huai'an to follow inside, so he didn't say anything more and quietly stayed outside the door.
*
In the room, Mu Huai'an followed Shen Lingxi's side closely from the moment he closed the door, and his eyes looked around vigilantly.
He knew that since Shen Lingxi had specially sent everyone out, there must be some ulterior "things" in this house.
"Where?" He asked in a low voice.
Shen Lingxi sneered, "Since you are afraid, you are waiting outside." β
"Who said I was scared." Mu Huai'an straightened his back, "Aren't I afraid that something will happen to you, so I will follow you kindly." β
Shen Lingxi raised his eyes, a pair of eyes looked directly into his eyes coldly, and a gloomy voice came out of his throat, and said to him: "You have already guessed it, I am not a person, what can happen to me, Mu Shaoqing......"
Mu Huai'an was shocked by her sudden appearance, and the back of her head was numb.
He had always been afraid of this inexplicable thing.
It's one thing to guess that she is the little princess of Yunguo who borrowed her corpse to resurrect her soul, but in the face of such a "real" her, it's another thing.
He still needs time to get used to it.
"Shen Lingxi, you talk well!" Mu Huai'an clenched the fan bone in his hand tightly, his whole body was tense, and he said with a straight face.
Shen Lingxi's gaze turned around on his face and smiled knowingly.
This is the normal reaction of people other than relatives after knowing her origin.
Therefore, hiding one's origin in good faith, no matter who it is, is the best choice.
"You go find a chair to sit in the distance, and don't disturb me." She said lightly.
The two of them asked each other without a beginning or end, which naturally attracted the attention of the hooded man.
The man's ghost circled back and forth around the two.
Shen Lingxi turned around, ignored his dead spirit, and walked in front of his corpse.
The man's body was still in its pre-mortem state, and because of the interrogation, his body was firmly tied to a scarlet pillar with a rope of embroidered clothes.
The fatal wound was on the neck, with dark purple choke marks on the overlapping hands, which had been strangled to death.
The head is tilted to one side, the lips are open, the tongue is sticking out, and the eyes are wide open.
Even if he had been dead for a while, Shen Lingxi could see that when this person was dying, there was a look of horror in his eyes.
"It seems that he is a person who does not want to die."
Shen Lingxi sighed, and said in a tone of regret, "It's a pity, there are very few people left who can draw silk puppetry, although the craft is a little clumsy, it is definitely not something that can be practiced overnight, it is a pity to die at such a young age." β
The words "clumsy craftsmanship" obviously insulted the self-esteem of the hooded man.
His soul "poofed", floated to Shen Lingxi, looked at her carefully, and said angrily: "Heh, what kind of person should I be, it turned out to be an ignorant yellow-haired girl, I was almost scared to pee at the door, and I dare to say me, bah!" If I were still alive, I would have broken the bones of your little girl and made a puppet. β
His body had never been buried, and the tongue of his soul was half sticking out, just like the tongue of his body.
The voice of the voice, with the tongue between them, is full of saliva.
Shen Lingxi raised his eyes in disgust, looked directly into the eyes of his soul body accurately, learned from his appearance at the moment, stuck out his tongue, and said three words: "No, see, know." β
The man met her eyes in shock, "You...... You ......"
Shen Lingxi grimaced at him, "What am I?" β
She reached out and groped under the jawbone of the man's corpse a few times, and with a "click", her tongue returned to its original position.
The man touched the chin of his soul body in astonishment, to this point, no matter how dull he was, he could also see that Shen Lingxi could really see him.
"Who are you?" The man asked, furrowing his eyebrows.
Shen Lingxi smiled at him and reached out to untie the rope that bound his body.
The corpse lost its restraints and fell stiffly to one sideβ
Shen Lingxi directly reached out and grabbed the wrist of the corpse.
The moment she touched the corpse, it was as if it had been suddenly injected into her soul, and she stomped her feet and stood up straight.
The eyes that had remained stiff and wide before death blinked slowly, and turned to look in the direction of the man.
"What are you doing?" The corpse made a hoarse voice and said to him, "Don't hurry up and kneel down and call the ancestor." β
When the man saw this battle, almost instantly, he wanted to understand what was going on in front of the mansion today.
His soul fluttered and knelt down in front of Shen Lingxi, and shouted honestly with a crying voice: "Master, it is the disciple grandson who has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please forgive the ancestor." β
This "Master Ancestor" is really not Shen Lingxi's intention to play tricks on a ghost.
Yunjiang's "Silk Puppet Technique" is originally of the same origin.
It's just that a puppet technique like her, which uses the soul as a silk thread, requires chance and talent to learn, and it is naturally from the ancestors.
And the puppet technique used by this man was condensed by later generations according to the classics left by their ancestors.
The puppet sect has very strict rules about the wire puppetry, which can only be used on the corpse of the most heinous criminals, and cannot be used to do evil.
Regardless of whether Yun Hongshan is good or bad, it is obvious that with his royal identity, the corpse should not be made into a puppet.
There should be something else hidden in this.
Mu Huai'an on the side, although he didn't know what was going on, but at this moment, the corpse suddenly moved, and the corpse was facing the air for a while, and he called "Shizu".
The scene is simply eerie.
He sat stiffly in his chair, not even taking care of his breathing.
Shen Lingxi smiled again when he saw his reaction.
She manipulated the man's body, walked to the wooden frame on the ground that was used to carry the body, and lay down on it.
Then, Shen Lingxi turned around and sat on the chair and looked at the man kneeling on the ground, "Tell me, who are you, why did you go down the mountain to manipulate Yunhong Mountain's body?" β
This is the first time in the man's life that he has seen a person manipulate a corpse with a soul, and Shen Lingxi can see his ghost.
In his eyes, Shen Lingxi is not only a "master ancestor", but a god descending from heaven!
She asked, and the man naturally knew everything, and said everything.
"My name is Kui Nineteen, and I am the nineteenth generation disciple of the Silk Puppet Technique, and our puppet sect has always been ordered to guard the holy mountain so that no one will destroy the tombs of our ancestors."
"After the Yun Kingdom was destroyed six years ago, the Great Secretary took the children of the Medicine Palace into the Holy Mountain and lived in the puppet gate."
Shen Lingxi heard that the Great Si had entered the holy mountain, and his heart was slightly relieved.
As long as you hide in the holy mountain, it is impossible to catch them again unless you blow up the mountain with firearms.
But why......
"Da Si Mingyuan is also a puppet man, under his leadership, you shouldn't go down the mountain and use puppetry to harm people." She asked in a deep voice, "You sneaked out?" β
Kui Shijiu's face was sad, "A year later, General Xiao was ordered by the King of Yunjiang to quietly enter the Holy Mountain to exterminate the remnants of the Medicine Palace, and they directly blew up the mountain with firearms, pretending to be a false impression of 'Heavenly Divine Punishment', and even the Great Si Ming died in the Holy Mountain. β
"What!" Shen Ling stood up sharply, his expression was unprecedentedly shocked, "Is Yunhong Mountain crazy, the holy mountain is where the belief of the people of Yunguo lies, how dare he!" β
"This is the faith he wants to destroy."
Kui Nineteen said dejectedly: "The Great Secretary said that the Yun Kingdom governs the country with the belief in saints and gods, which is not tolerated by the Great Zhou. Before breaking the country, Yun Hongshan secretly made a deal with Da Zhou, wanting to kill the saint and destroy the holy mountain, so that Yun Guo was completely in the hands of Da Zhou. β
"Master should know, our holy daughter, little princess Yunxi...... On the day of the break, he was pushed down the city tower by Emperor Er as a human animal that cursed the imperial family of the Great Zhou. Before his death, the chief priest said that this was actually the sin committed by Yun Hongshan, who instructed the ministers and scholars on the eve of the country's destruction to secretly bewitch the emperor. β
"If they hadn't told Emperor Er, 'With the order of the Holy Maiden, curse the Chu family, you can take revenge on the Chu royal family forever', Emperor Lu would not have thought of this, and the little princess would not have died because of this......"
