"This time they went to the Holy Mountain, did Uncle Tai Mei and Chu Yan ride in the same carriage?" Shen Lingxi asked thoughtfully.

"Naturally, no." Liu Meisheng was afraid that Shen Lingxi would misunderstand, "Don't worry, Xiao Langjun is riding a horse by himself, and let Mu Xiaolangjun escort Uncle Mei up the mountain." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Meiren covered her lips and chuckled, "Do you guess that Xiao Langjun can recognize her as a fake?" ”

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly.

She didn't care if they could recognize her.

What I care more about is that since Tai Shumei is a "living person" now, why is she still avoiding Chu Yan.

Could it be that the evil qi on Chu Yan's body also has an impact on her?

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Lingxi quickened his pace, "It's not too early, let's hurry up and go up the mountain." ”

*

Yun Yu sent a few cronies to wait outside the mansion to escort Shen Lingxi to the holy mountain.

The carriage galloped out of the city to the foot of the holy mountain, but it was blocked and could not move an inch.

"Girl, today the people of Yunbian City learned that His Highness was going to send someone to burn down the altar and the ruins of the imperial tomb, and they all went up the mountain to petition, I'm afraid our carriage won't be able to get up." Yun Yu's personal guards reported through the car curtain.

Shen Lingxi asked suspiciously, "Go up the mountain to petition?" What would you like? ”

"Many relics of the deceased who have died in recent years have been buried around the altar, and the relatives of the deceased firmly believe that if the altar is burned, the souls of the deceased will not rest in peace, so the people are petitioning His Highness not to destroy the altar." The guard explained.

Shen Lingxi lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the winding mountain road was full of carriages going up the mountain, and many people had abandoned the carriages and walked towards the mountain road on one side.

There are two paths to the top of the sacred mountain, one is the official road for chariots and horses to go forward, and the other is the stone steps that the people walk on foot during the pilgrimage.

"I'll go up on foot, and you wait for me here." Shen Lingxi commanded.

She got out of the carriage and saw from a distance several maidservants walking down from a carriage surrounded by a noble lady in a scarlet dress.

The woman combed her graceful and luxurious woman's head, and her appearance was delicate, especially the apricot eyes, and between the eye waves, there was a kind of charming color, which made people feel shocked at first sight.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that her body would be possessed by Uncle Tai and have a different temperament.

is like two people from before.

"Hey, she's stuck at the bottom of the mountain."

As soon as Liu Meiren saw Uncle Taimei, she hurriedly hid in the car, "I can't accompany you this time, she can see ghosts, if she sees me by your side, she will definitely be suspicious of your identity." ”

Shen Lingxi responded softly, sighed slightly, took out a bamboo cane from the carriage, and walked towards the group of people while "tu, du" probing the road with the bamboo cane.

As soon as they approached them, Uncle Tai's charming and delicate voice reached Shen Lingxi's ears.

"General Mu, this palace has just recovered from a serious illness, let alone walking to the top of the mountain, I'm afraid that I will faint halfway through, and I don't want to go."

The voice was still hers, but it sounded very different.

Mu Huai'an put his hands around his chest and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "Shen Lingxi, what tricks are you playing, I don't know if someone else will lose his memory when he hits his head, can you lose his memory?" It's a joke! You don't have to act like that in front of me. ”

"Bold, presumptuous!" Uncle Tai immediately sighed, "This palace is a dignified princess, what kind of thing are you, you dare to talk to this palace like this, and when this palace goes back, the prince will cut off your head!" ”

Mu Huaian looked at her carefully, and saw that Uncle Tai's face was full of anger.

He changed his tone and said respectfully: "Niangniang forgives the sin, the minister thinks that Niangniang is joking with the minister, and she has lost her sense of proportion, I hope Niangniang will forgive me." ”

"You look for a soft sedan chair and carry the palace up the mountain." Tai Shumei ordered: "This palace doesn't want to walk. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Mu Huai'an said respectfully: "The people who went up the mountain today are all here to petition His Royal Highness, they have already complained about Niangniang's previous behavior, Niangniang sits on a soft sedan chair up the mountain, it will definitely attract attention, if the identity is seen by others, there is a long-sighted collision with Niangniang, and the minister can't protect it, isn't it putting Niangniang in danger?" ”

Tai Shumei wanted to say, "Waste, you can't even do this kind of trivial thing." But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and looked at Xiang Zhou floating on the side.

Xiang Zhou's eyebrows furrowed, and he said to her: "Your soul is unstable now, so it is not appropriate to make extraneous branches, and bear with it first." ”

When the uncle heard this, he reluctantly pursed his lips, took the hat handed by the maidservant and put it on, took the maid's arm, and walked up the mountain.

Shen Lingxi followed behind them not far away, and walked up the mountain with the flow of people.

The bamboo cane in her hand kept making a sound of "tuk, tuk", which attracted the sideways eyes of the people around her from time to time.

Even when Uncle Mei was resting along the road, he turned his head to look at her several times.

Xiang Zhou was the same, and he turned around her a few times, but he didn't see any flaws.

Along the way, the whispers of the people continued to reach their ears:

"I heard that this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to burn down the altar, it was the idea of the Crown Princess. Since the crown princess entered the city in red, the city has not been peaceful. ”

"Yes, I've also heard that in just three or five days, a lot of people have died in the city, even the old man is no exception, and now it is rumored in the city, if it continues like this, I am afraid that it will really lead to disaster."

"I heard from my relatives on duty in the Yunjiang Palace, on the second night of the princess's entry into the city, she secretly ran to the Holy Mountain, and after she came back, her temperament changed greatly, and she moved out of the holy woman's dormitory overnight, and she also kowtowed. Therefore, she begged His Highness to burn down the altar and the ruins of the imperial tomb, saying that there was evil to do. ”

"I think she is the evil one, it must be because she insists on entering the city in red clothes, attracting the wrath of the gods and ghosts, and she will be plagued by disasters."

"I heard that she was in the capital, and she would use some evil magic to bewitch the emperor, and the position of the crown princess also came from this, I think she is a demon girl."

"This time, she provoked the gods and ghosts of our Yunjiang, and she didn't listen to her, and she suffered a loss, so she would destroy the altar and the imperial tomb! She's just revenge. ”

"We ordinary people can't control the heavenly family, in short, this altar can't be destroyed, if the altar is destroyed and the ghosts and gods are angry, who will bear the consequences?"

"If you want me to see, the newly appointed King of Yunjiang is also an unassertive person, and letting the court make such nonsense is not as good as when the previous King of Yunjiang was alive. For so many years, the Xiao family has assisted the king of Yunjiang and made great contributions, but the new king is very unwilling to see the Xiao family. ”

"The new king is a wild seed of unknown origin, but a puppet of the Great Zhou court, what do you expect him to do? He didn't want to see the Xiao family, it must be that the court was planning to take the Xiao family, as the so-called flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, and the fate of loyal generals throughout the ages is like this. ”

"I just pity the Xiao family...... What kind of character General Xiao is, he kindly prevented the demon girl from entering the city that day, and was insulted by her in public, this is a slap in the face of the Xiao family, this is a slap in the face of our Yunjiang! ”

"Anyway, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on destroying the altar of the holy mountain for the demon girl today, I will die on the altar headlong, rather than watching the souls of the ancestors restless, it is better to go to the underworld to serve them. Let the Great Zhou court take a look at it, the people of Yunbian City are by no means soft bones! ”

"What Brother Tai said is very true, since I came up the mountain to petition today, I don't plan to go down the mountain alive, I am willing to die with Brother Tai! As long as this matter can be made bigger, the court will never let go of the demon girl at that time, and if you kill the demon girl to sacrifice to the sky, you may be able to save the Xiao family......"

Shen Lingxi frowned when he heard these words.

If you listen to the previous content, it can be regarded as a majority of false rumors.

Later, he began to praise the Xiao family, pity the Xiao family, and beat her as a demon girl, which means something wrong......

As far as she could see, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it was full of dense people.

The ruins of the altar and the imperial tomb, since Xiang Zhou deliberately laid them down before his death, were used to refine the soul, so naturally they could not continue to stay.

Destroying these two places seems to be Uncle Tai's request, but in fact, Chu Yan took advantage of the situation.

Chu Yan should know very well what the consequences will be if this matter is announced to the public.

He doesn't deliberately spread the word.

The only explanation is that someone secretly leaked the news, which attracted so many people to the mountain today.

In this way, he instigated the people to petition for death, put pressure on the imperial court, and also encouraged the people to kill her and sacrifice to heaven.

It is self-evident who is behind the scenes.

Xiao Rui really hates her.

It's a pity that she is not in the body of the crown princess now.

I don't know if Uncle Mei is full of joy to be the crown princess, but when he gets this book of sacrifices, he is not surprised, he is not surprised.

Shen Lingxi listened to these remarks, all he could think of, how could Xiang Zhou and Tai Shumei not think of it.

Uncle Mei didn't expect that the reputation of the crown princess she possessed would be so unbearable.

She is a superior who has suffered from the people's riots, and when she sees this kind of battle, she can't help but shudder.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, she lowered her voice and asked Xiang Zhou, who was floating on the side: "If today's incident arouses the anger of the people, and the court really wants to kill me and sacrifice to the sky, what should I do?" ”

It's like responding to Uncle Tai's words-

Suddenly, Shen Lingxi, who was not far behind her, only heard heavy footsteps, which suddenly burst out from behind her.

Immediately after, a half-sized man of small stature strode past her and rushed forward.

Shen Lingxi's feet moved slightly, avoiding the impact of the man's shoulder, and he supported his body with a bamboo cane, making an embarrassed appearance.

Between the electric light and flint, a cold light flashed in front of him.

Shen Lingxi was extremely keenly aware that the kid who almost knocked her down was holding a short dagger in his hand and stabbed at Uncle Tai's body!

That was also Shen Lingxi's body.

"Eh......" Shen Lingxi subconsciously reminded him.

However, before the words came out, he saw that the short dagger was about to stab Tai Shumei's heart, but Mu Huaian flew up and kicked it away.

The martial maids who were serving beside Uncle Tai Mei swarmed up and firmly pressed the half of the son to the ground.

The man was dressed in a brown stub that had been washed to a whitish color, and at first glance he was not a serious assassin.

It is the people who have been agitated this time.

The man's eyes stared at Uncle Taimei's light gauze hat, and said hatefully: "Demon girl, if you dare to destroy the altar of our holy maiden, you will not die a good death!" ”

Uncle Taimei's face turned pale with fright.

Even counting the years before she died, she hadn't experienced this kind of assassination for a long time.

"Quick! Quickly drag this Diao people down and beat them to death with sticks in this palace! She said hatefully.

When Mu Huai'an heard this, he frowned and glanced at the soldiers who followed him up the mountain.

Two soldiers stepped forward, gagged the boy, and escorted him down the mountain.

The movement came and went quickly, and it didn't cause much commotion.

The martial maids were afraid that there would be another mess, so they surrounded Uncle Tai and hugged her and walked up.

And Uncle Mei was frightened by this, and her heart was uneasy, one hand tightly grasped the jade pendant around her neck, and the other hand covered her lips and whispered to Xiang Zhou: "I finally came back to life, but I don't want to die again...... Otherwise, don't destroy this altar and the imperial tomb......"

"No way!" Xiang Zhou's tone was resolute, "The altar is a small matter, Yunxi's body must be destroyed, the flesh and blood of the saint can nourish the soul, your jade pendant seals her soul, before the soul is refined, if the jade pendant comes into contact with her corpse and lets her remnant soul run into the corpse, it will be difficult to seal her back into the jade pendant." ”

Xiang Zhou was a ghost, probably because he felt that no one could hear what he said, so he didn't deliberately lower his voice.

It was convenient for Shen Lingxi, who was not far from them, to hear his words clearly.

It's a jade pendant again.

The moment her fingers touched the jade pendant that night, she felt a powerful suction force that wanted to suck her soul into the jade pendant.

In desperation, she hid in the corpse to avoid the suction of the jade pendant.

I didn't expect it to be crooked.

Shen Lingxi was a little puzzled, the jade pendant was obviously passed down from generation to generation by the Holy Maiden, why didn't A-Niang pass it on to her before she died, but brought it into the coffin as a funeral object?

It seems that after going down the mountain this time, I have to go back to the Yunjiang Palace and check the origin of this jade pendant.

Shen Lingxi listened intently to the conversation between the person and the soul in the distance, and walked up with a bamboo cane.

I didn't pay attention for a while, and a long figure, a few steps behind the group, seemed to be unintentionally blocking in front of her.

Shen Lingxi lowered her eyes, saw the robe in front of her, and poked the bamboo cane to the side, her steps familiarly avoiding the figure in front of her.

And this action directly led the other party to make a move and grabbed her shoulder.

"Doesn't it seem to be really blind?" Mu Huai'an's voice came to his ears.

Shen Lingxi raised his eyes in surprise and saw his peach blossom eyes, staring sharply into her eyes.

Seeing Shen Lingxi's dark eyes without any light, Mu Huaian frowned, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes.

The eyes didn't move at all, and it looked like they were really blind.

Shen Lingxi turned his head sideways, his dark eyes, staring in the direction of Uncle Tai, and saw that Xiang Zhou noticed the movement on her side and was looking at her.

She waved her hand flatteringly towards the front, pointed to her throat, and uttered a difficult syllable: "Eh...... Belch...... Oh......"

"Blind and dumb?" Mu Huai'an sneered.

He leaned forward, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Don't pretend, the spots on your hands are exposed." ”

There will probably be no spots on the hands of a living person.

Only in the hands of the dead.

Although Shen Lingxi knew that Mu Huai'an was deliberately hinting, he also knew that it was impossible for him to leave such an obvious flaw as corpse spots on his hands.

She was still surprised.

Seeing that Xiang Zhou heard the words "blind and dumb", he turned around without interest and floated up with Uncle Tai.

Shen Lingxi's dark eyes looked directly into Mu Huai'an's eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you recognize it?" ”

After waiting for a long time, Uncle Tai Mei took the script of the sacrifice to the sky, hey
