Chapter 268: The Emperor and the National Teacher
This is not the first time Shen Lingxi has been a ghost.
Compared to the last time she couldn't move on the embroidered picture, at least this time, she could still flexibly control her body.
It's an amazing feeling.
Her soul is still there, her body is dead.
But her soul is still in her body, and her body can still walk, dance, and even speak.
It's just that she doesn't need to breathe, she doesn't need to eat or go to the toilet, she can't taste the food, she doesn't feel pain, and she can't feel cold or warm......
Only...... It's quite a novelty.
In order to facilitate his departure, Shen Lingxi walked around the tomb several times to get used to this corpse and could completely control it.
Although she fell into a coma for a short time because of the relationship of soul stripping, Liu Meiren and Kui Shijiu watched the whole process.
"The person who got on you must be the uncle of the poisonous queen."
Before Liu Mei's death, as the concubine of the previous dynasty who begged for a life under the nose of Uncle Tai, she naturally knew the best about Uncle Mei.
"After her soul came to you, the tone of her voice was exactly the same as that of Uncle Taimei, and I would never admit my mistake."
"Your big priest is also very strange, he is obviously not a national teacher, but when he saw Taishu Mei wake up with your body, his hands were folded together, and he looked restrained and excited, but he looked like a national teacher."
"Could it be...... He also borrowed the corpse to resurrect his soul? ”
Up to now, Shen Lingxi would not be surprised that Xiang Zhou could borrow his corpse to return his soul.
It was precisely because he vaguely guessed that he had such an ability, Shen Lingxi knew that there was something wrong with the jade pendant, and he would deliberately act as if he was provoked, taking advantage of the situation, wanting to know Xiang Zhou's true intentions.
At this moment, Shen Lingxi already knew that Xiang Zhou had refined so many ghosts, and the person who "resurrected" was Tai Shumei.
I thought of the book "Thinking of No Evil" that was placed in the secret room of the Medicine Palace before.
She even felt that if she was born twenty years ago, it was really caused by Xiang Zhou's "change of life".
Then in order to resurrect Uncle Mei, he can be said to have played a big game of chess.
This game of chess, counting from the fall of the previous dynasty, has been more than 30 years now, which is long enough and deep enough.
"What kind of person is that national teacher in your previous dynasty?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.
"He's a ruthless man."
Liu Meiren said with a complicated expression, "I heard that he was a coffin, he was regarded as ominous at birth, he was spurned and abused by the world, and he was later accepted as a disciple by the Taoist masters of Taiyi Mountain." ”
"He was feminine and handsome, and when he was fifteen years old, the emperor took a fancy to his skin, took him back to the palace, and served him at the emperor's side."
"He is proficient in Xuanmen magic and alchemy, and one day in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he brought a corpse back to life, so that he could get the emperor's blue eyes."
"Later, he invited himself to make alchemy for the emperor, and he was gradually relied on."
"After the emperor died violently, Uncle Tai helped the emperor's young son to ascend the throne as the emperor, worshiped him as the national teacher, the two joined forces to control the government, cronyism, cruelty to the loyal and good, and also built palaces everywhere, raised many Xuanmen warlocks, looted the people's fat and ointment, and under the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people were not able to make a living, and the people were miserable."
"Later, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty could not bear the tyranny, raised an army to rebel, went straight to the capital, killed the virus and the national teacher, and established the Great Zhou."
Speaking of this, Liu Meiren paused, "However, when the two of them were alive, one was in the harem and the other was in the previous dynasty, and they rarely intersected, but I didn't expect it to be so ...... in private."
The national teacher in Liu Mei's mouth is different from the great priest Xiang Zhou that Shen Lingxi knows, but there are still similarities in his bones.
Shen Lingxi has known since he was a child that Da Si Ming is not an ordinary person.
He has always been taciturn, but he has a deep attainment in medicine and poison, and the huge medicine palace is strict and well-organized under his rule.
Although he is not a disciple of the puppet sect, he is very interested in the methods of the puppet sect, and he is also deeply respected by the master of the puppet sect.
Medicine and poison were driven by Shen Lingxi's interest, so he practiced hard.
But the silk puppet technique was taught to practice by Xiang Zhou after reading the ancient books of the puppet gate.
In her previous life, when Shen Lingxi was practicing the Silk Puppet Technique, she was repeatedly frustrated and unable to find a way, but Xiang Zhou has always encouraged her.
Now that Shen Lingxi thinks about these things again, he has a faint feeling that he is afraid that at that time, Xiang Zhou was already planning today's things.
The silk puppet technique uses the soul as a silk thread to pull the corpse.
In the process of traction, the soul is like flowing water, which turns into silk threads and manipulates the corpse by touching.
Xiang Zhou asked her to practice the silk puppet technique, although when she was alive in her previous life, she couldn't do it.
But after being reborn, there is no self-master, as long as it touches the corpse, the soul can directly turn into silk threads and go to the corpse.
The soul can flow, but it can be squeezed out.
This is exactly what we are doing today.
It's just that Shen Lingxi doesn't understand, how can Xiang Zhou be sure that she will definitely come back here, with a fresh body, so that Uncle Tai can be charming?
Among them, there must be reasons why she doesn't know.
"Where did Urda go?" Shen Lingxi suddenly asked, "Why is Urda's soul not here?" Could it be that he was also refined by the coffin? ”
Liu Meiren shook her head, "I was suddenly sucked into the coffin, and I didn't see his shadow." ”
Kui Jiu seemed to think of something, and said uncertainly: "The last time I was sucked into the coffin with one leg, I thought I would definitely die, but it was the Great Si Ming who instructed Urda to pick up the Fu Shui, so that the formation stopped and allowed me to escape." ”
"When I was running away, I faintly heard that the Great Priest had ordered your to answer and do something for him, but I didn't hear what it was."
Shen Lingxi frowned and asked suspiciously, "What is the Fu Shui you are talking about?" ”
Kui Jiu floated to the southeast corner of the tomb and pointed to a stone statue of Fang Xiang's clan, "Here." ”
Fang Xiang's is a tomb beast, with a human body and animal feet, like a bear but not a bear, with his eyes open, naked, squatting, and holding a shield.
Previously, at the entrance of the underground palace of Yongtai Xinggong, there were stone bricks carved with Fang Xiang's family.
Shen Lingxi didn't care about this stone statue originally, but at this moment, she walked over and looked in the direction of Kui Shijiu's fingers, and saw that the carved lines on the shield held by Fang Xiang's hand were a Xuanmen Dao talisman.
There is a hole in the top of the stone wall directly above the shield and in the floor tiles below the shield.
In the hole in the top of the wall, water droplets condensed.
Water droplets fall on the shield talisman, and then "tick" along the sharp corners under the shield, and fall into the hole below.
This was the sound of dripping water that Shen Lingxi heard when he first entered the tomb before.
It is a device similar to a water clock.
When Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan went to Yuquan to catch Wuerda before, they had seen a similar water clock in his medicine hall.
"What's the use of this thing? Why does it catch water? Shen Lingxi asked puzzled.
Ghosts are like wind and air in this world, formless, and can be penetrated by the things of the world.
How can a ghost catch a drop of water?
Kui Jiu pondered and said: "This idol is made of special materials, and when the water passes through the Dao talisman on the shield, it will become talisman water, and the soul of the dead cannot catch the water, but it can catch the talisman water." This water drop should be the mechanism activated by the formation, and when the water droplet is caught, the formation stops. ”
Shen Lingxi's heart was suddenly shocked.
Xiang Zhou will not let Kui Nineteen go for no reason.
He asked Ur to answer, took Fu Shui, and let Kui 19 escape, the purpose was very clear, that is, let Kui 19 find her, tell her about the tomb, and lead her to find out.
It's just that he didn't expect that Kui Nineteen didn't go back, but sat in the ruins and cried.
Presumably, this kid has vaguely guessed the other party's intentions and doesn't want to be used by him.
If it weren't for Shen Lingxi who found something unusual in the Mansion and went up the mountain to investigate, Kui Jiu might not have returned to the Yunjiang Palace......
