Clean, really clean.

Since Shen Lingxi entered the palace, he really hasn't seen a ghost lingering in the palace.

The only snow ball I've ever seen was recruited by the Reincarnation Lamp.

Yuzhu was also newly mourned, and was thrown out of the palace by someone, and was met by her again.

Last time at the palace banquet, I saw those ministers followed by those dead souls, which they also brought in from outside the palace.

The souls of the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, even the souls of the concubines, she has never seen any of them.

I think that in the harem of Yunguo back then, there were people who threw themselves into wells, hanged themselves, and died violently......

She originally thought that the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty was clean, it was the queen mother and the queen who were kind, and the emperor was well-organized, and now she is not like the emperor, she likes to watch people fight back and forth, so there are not so many pickled things in the palace, and there are no dead souls.

Unexpectedly, there was also this lake-center formation.

Su Xian saw that her eyes were groaning, and he knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Even if you have seen the souls of the dead in the palace, they should be newly mourned after all these years." Su Xian pinched his fingers and calculated, and continued: "The Dark Yang Jade has the effect of gathering souls, the bottom of the lake is a formation, to the yin to the cold, it is the best to refine the soul and gather the soul, if what I expected is good, before Yun Xi died, Sheng Kun must use the Dark Yang Jade as a guide to raise the soul of Tai Shumei at the bottom of this lake." ”

He said and sighed, "Later, although he took the jade away, the formation was not destroyed, and now his soul is one with the Dark Yang Jade, and he just used this formation to reunite his soul, and if he wants to catch him again, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Shen Lingxi looked at Su Xian, "Dao Leader also thinks that he is really one with the Dark Yang Jade?" ”

Su Xian nodded solemnly.

It was just Shen Lingxi's speculation before, but now that it has been confirmed by Su Xian, Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan both have their hearts sinking.

Su Xian sighed and said: "Since the ice crystal appeared, I have a bad premonition, this time I went back to Beijing first, and then I went back to the Shangqing Palace to investigate, and the big array in the back mountain ...... It should have been broken, but I don't know who it is, but it is so powerful that it can break this desperate formation. ”

When Shen Lingxi heard this, he hurriedly told Su Xian about the strange situation of the big array in the back mountain that the two concubines had said before.

Su Xian suddenly realized, "I see...... I see......"

Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan glanced at each other.

Chu Yan asked directly: "Uncle, what's the problem with these pigeons?" ”

Su Xian: "When the Dark Yang Jade was burned into pieces, snow fell from the sky, and the jade powder turned into ice crystals when it met the snow, hidden in the soil, and was attached to Sheng Kun's soul. Ice crystals are transformed from fragments of divine jade, which are naturally different from ordinary ice crystals. In the sunlight, the light of the ice crystals is naturally brighter and more beautiful than the things next to it......"

When Shen Lingxi heard this, his eyes moved slightly.

"When I was a child, I was told that most birds like shiny things. That day in Yunjiang, I also asked Liu Meiren to explore the origin of those pigeons, only to find that the pigeons started many years ago, and the princess Xiao of Yunjiang asked people to transport them from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty from time to time, and some would be shipped every once in a while. ”

"Presumably, these pigeons are the backhands of Urda in the name of the Xiao family, and they have long been left for Sheng Kun. As long as they come into contact with those ice crystals, they will be controlled by Sheng Kun's soul attached to the ice crystals, and Sheng Kun will be able to fly back to Dazhou in flocks with ice crystals......"

Su Xian nodded, pointing to the corpses of the pigeons in this pool, "The soul refining array under this Taiye Pool, as long as those pigeons put ice crystals into it, and then sacrifice it with their bodies, they can completely bring Sheng Kun's soul and the Dark Yang Jade together." ”

Shen Lingxi frowned, "So, the black line attached to Ah Wu's soul is Sheng Kun's new soul...... His new soul is now able to suck the souls of the dead. ”

"Black line?"

Su Xian was stunned for a moment, but then, his expression became more solemn: "I didn't expect that this time it was to help Sheng Kun use the power of divine jade to refine the form and cultivate into a corpse dissecting immortal." ”

"Autopsy Immortal?" Chu Yan's eyes sank suddenly: "The autopsy immortal is an immortal?" He can also cultivate to become an immortal? ”

"No, no." Su Xian explained: "Autopsy is a kind of cultivation method in the Xuanmen of Taiyi Mountain, and the world calls it 'immortal', it is not an immortal, but a technique. ”

There is a cloud in "Taiyi Guarding the Corpse" of "Seven Signatures of the Clouds": "The way of the husband to dissolve has ten thousand paths." …… Or sit in the empty valley, or stand on the rock, or the hair is in a bun, or the knot of the clothes is unsolved, and even the water and fire are refined, and they are resurrected after thousands of years, and the staff is disabled, and the limbs are broken and still alive. ”1

"There are many ways of 'autopsy', sword lysis, battle lysis, hydrolysis, fire lysis, military lysis, medicine lysis, etc."

"Sheng Kun's current appearance is in line with the saying of 'fire solution' in autopsy. It was recorded in "The Legend of the Immortals" that Ning Fengzi, a real person on dragon stilts, was originally the Yellow Emperor Tao Zheng. The man of God passes by and holds fire for him, and can produce five-colored smoke. Later, Ning Fengzi accumulated fire and self-immolation, and people saw that there was a shadow of Ning Feng in the gray smoke, and with the smoke rising, it was said that Ning Feng was cremated and ascended to the immortal. ”2

"Sheng Kun died twice, both of which were burned to death by fire." Shen Lingxi pondered, "The two concubines saw with their own eyes, the flock of pigeons flew into the big formation in the back mountain, and there were black lines flying out of the formation and drilling into the pigeon's body. ”

"The big array is sealed with Sheng Kun's charred bones, if you follow the example of Ning Fengzi in the ancient books, those black lines are Sheng Kun's corpse?"

"It should be so." Su Xian sighed and said: "Sheng Kun's two corpses were both sealed in the back mountain array, but I didn't expect that this time, it would help him disintegrate into immortals." ”

"But ......," Shen Lingxi was puzzled, "how could Sheng Kun have predicted in advance that he would be able to use these pigeons one day?" ”

Su Xian sighed a few times.

"Since the pigeons were transported from Da Zhou, Sheng Kun must have planned to use the pigeons early on to break the big array of Taiyi Mountain."

"When Sheng Kun was alive, the Dao was profound, he was a saint clan, the saint clan bloodline was special, the world knew very little about the saint clan's bloodline, the first emperor set up a super magic circle in the back mountain, and sealed Sheng Kun's bones, just to avoid Sheng Kun's autopsy."

"That super large array is heavily guarded, there are many mechanisms, there is a dead formation with no entry or exit, and the living cannot reach the position of the formation eye at all, let alone break the formation in it."

"But the pigeon is a feather insect that lives in groups, even if there is no bureau set up outside Yunbian City, Sheng Kun only needs to attach himself to the pigeon, with thousands of pigeons, all of them crashed into the position of the eye of the formation, and it can't damage many pigeons, and it can break the big formation."

Shen Lingxi's heart was suddenly shocked.

Breaking the formation with a flock of pigeons is a plan that Sheng Kun made early on.

It's just that the soul of Tai Shumei's former uncle was attached to the Dark Yang Jade, and Sheng Kun broke the formation, and he couldn't use the Dark Yang Jade, nor could he cultivate the autopsy technique.

And this time, the Dark Yang Jade was burned and turned into ice crystals, but it just allowed Sheng Kun to use the pigeon flock to get what he wanted.

Su Xian stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the corpse of the pigeon full of ponds, his eyes were full of shame.

"I consulted the classics of the Library Pavilion, there are four divine jade handed down from the Xuanmen of Taiyi Mountain, and the dark jade is one of them. The Netherworld, the Ghost Dao, even if there is no body, there are still souls. ”

"Before, I thought that it would be destroyed by calcining it with incense ash talisman fire, just like the magic vessel next to it...... It seems that I still underestimated the power of Shenyu, and I was sloppy. Su Xian said with annoyance.

"It's none of the chief's business." Shen Lingxi said with relief: "If you didn't use the Dark Yang Jade at that time, you wouldn't be able to lock Uncle Mei's soul into Yun Xi's corpse, and you wouldn't be able to get rid of her in time." ”

"Xuanmen pays attention to the number of lives, since Sheng Kun's soul can be combined with the fragments of the Dark Yang Jade, it means that his life should not be extinguished, and the top priority should be to find a way to get rid of him."

"I'll figure it out." Su Xianzheng said: "I will definitely find a way to get rid of him completely, and never let him have a chance to resurrect again." ”

Shen Lingxi saluted him: "Then there will be a chief of labor." ”

Su Xian avoided her salute and admonished: "This time is different from the past, you must be careful." There is also the Yin Jade, which must also be put away. ”

"Sheng Kun is now one with the Stygian Jade, and the new soul has the ability to gather souls and absorb the soul of the Stygian Jade, if he gets the Stygian Yin Jade again, he can use the Stygian Yin Jade to drive the living soul away from the human body, and then devour the living soul, so it will inevitably be ruined, and it will be more difficult to deal with him."

Shen Lingxi hadn't thought of this layer before, and when he heard this, he glanced at Chu Yan, and both of them nodded solemnly.

The matter of the hidden formation in the Taiye Pool was told to the emperor by Su Xian in person.

Because the matter involved the previous dynasty, in order to avoid causing panic among the people, the emperor specially pressed the matter and kept it secret.

But once the truth of the matter is covered up, rumors will become flying.

However, in a few days, the news about what happened in the palace on the night of the Shangyuan Festival in the capital was spreading.

said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, fate is evil, the father and the mother are the wife, and now even the palace is not at peace with him, and I don't know who the next one will be." ”

also said, "Everywhere the crown princess Shen Lingxi went, there were people who died, although she was reincarnated as a 'holy woman' in Yunjiang, but the luck of the dead wherever she went, it can be called 'extremely unlucky'." ”

What's more, the "pigeon flock throwing into the lake" is regarded as a "vision from heaven", and I am afraid that the prince is "unworthy of virtue", which will definitely affect the national fortune in the future.

Rumors have been circulating in the East Palace, and it is hard not to wonder what the motives of the people behind them are.

Shen Lingxi didn't have time to care about the rumors in the capital.

She devoted all her energy to asking Liu Meiren and the few remaining concubines to help, searching for places where Sheng Kun's new soul might be hiding in various parts of the palace.

However, nearly ten days have passed, and nothing has been found.

During this period, Shen Lingxi finally found an opportunity to go to Kunning Palace alone, and presented the Pisces jade pendant that Mu Huai'an gave her to the queen under the pretext of asking for peace.

The queen has been sick for many days, and when she saw the jade pendant, her expression was a little trance.

Hearing Shen Lingxi say the "function" of the jade pendant, it was rare for her pale face to show a few embarrassed smiles.

"From such a distance, bring the jade pendant back, I have you to lose." The queen politely thanked her and motioned for Aunt Liu to accept the jade pendant.

After saying a few more words to Shen Lingxi, his face showed tiredness.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi said goodbye and left in time.

When her back disappeared outside the hall, Aunt Liu took the jade pendant and asked: "Niangniang has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and there is no need to use this kind of thing for a long time, the eldest prince seems to ask the princess to return this jade pendant to Niangniang, but in fact, it is ...... I just want to borrow the hand of the mother and give this jade pendant to the crown princess...... Why did Niangniang take the jade pendant seriously? ”

The queen said with a wistful expression: "Today's Mu family is just a common man, Da Lang is in Yunjiang, far away from the capital, at least he can save his life." In the coming days, if they can earn a military merit at the border, the Mu family may not have a chance to make a comeback. ”

The more this happens, the less he can provoke people he shouldn't provoke, or he might lose his life one day. Qi Da is not a coincidence, not to mention that the Shen family has already married the crown prince as a concubine...... Hongu couldn't watch him jump into the fire pit. ”

Aunt Liu sighed and claimed that it was, and asked for instructions, "Then this jade pendant...... The slave maid was also put into the old box that Niangniang brought into the palace from the Hou Mansion, right? ”

"This is the Zhou Zhou gift that his father gave him when Da Lang was one year old." The queen looked sad and stretched out her hand to Aunt Liu: "Take it and put it next to the pillow of the palace." ”

Aunt Liu said yes and handed the jade pendant to the queen.

The queen rubbed the jade pendant, only to feel that the jade was cool and delicate, and she was reluctant to let go, and fell asleep unconsciously......

When Shen Lingxi was busy looking for the traces of Sheng Kun's new soul, what happened in the Yiyang Marquis Mansion outside the palace, Liu Meiren specially found the concubine to stay in the Li family and stared at it, and came to tell Shen Lingxi from time to time that he knew-

"Li Xiaoqing is a married daughter, I heard the people in their house say that when she was the second wife of the Zhenguo Mansion, although she became a widow at a young age, she had the support of the ancestors of the Zhenguo Mansion behind her, and every time she returned to her mother's house, she was held by the stars and the moon."

"Who would have thought that now that she has been abandoned, the situation after returning home will not be as good as before. Mrs. Cheng, the step-chamber of Yiyang Hou, is mean and unkind, and she prides herself on being a famous lady, and she can't see a cousin like Li. Although he didn't show it on his face, he instructed his subordinates to be weird and sarcastic behind his back, but he didn't do less. ”

Li Huai went to the study when he returned home, and told his father Yiyanghou what happened in Yunjiang to his father, Yiyanghou. Yiyang Hou's face was very calm, and when Li Huai turned around and walked out of the study, his legs were frightened, and he was finally helped by the little maid to go to the Li family's courtyard! ”

"Didn't you see that as soon as the brother and sister met, they closed the door, and neither of them pretended to be there, just pointing at each other's noses and scolding. Yiyang Hou scolded Li Xiaoqing for being stupid, and he could be caught for the next poison, and he ended up being abandoned. Li Xiaoqing scolded Li Xiangyang for being selfish and blind, only caring about his own prosperity, and chose a nest for her who would only pit her own brother to be a husband, causing her to live and suffer for several years in vain. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Meiren smiled, "I happened to be there at the time, and Xu Yuanshan heard Li say that he was a wreck, and his angry face turned green!" ”

Shen Lingxi smiled mockingly, "Xu Yuanshan always thinks that he is a smart person, and now that he is dead and a ghost, he should also see how he was played as a monkey, which can also be regarded as his blessing." ”

"As for the Li siblings...... Li Yuejiao's matter can be seen, Li Xiangyang is a woman who sells women for glory, since Li Xiaoqing can be ruthless and backstab the ancestor, it is not a good thing, the two brothers and sisters are in one place, and it is not bad for dogs to eat dogs. ”

"It's not just dog eat dog."

Liu Meiren shook the veil and laughed: "You don't know, Yun Chong is a troublemaker, he used silver money to buy the people of the Yiyang Hou Mansion, and Li Xiaoqing privately sent a few love letters, and used the spice shop as bait to hook Li Xiaoqing to agree to marry him, when I came here, Yun Chong had already brought someone to carry the dowry and go to the door of Li's house!" ”

1. Autopsy immortal art, a kind of immortal cultivation technique in Taoist legends, the content of this paragraph is from the "Seven Signatures of the Cloud" volume 85 "Taiyi Guarding the Corpse" and "Taiji Zhenren Relics Scattered".

2. Ning Fengzi was passed down as the Yellow Emperor when Tao Zheng (in charge of pottery affairs). It can accumulate fire and self-immolation, and go up and down with the smoke. Its legend was first seen in the "Legend of the Immortals", and later it was also contained in the books "Sou Shen Ji", "Collecting the Remains", "The Records of the Guanghuang Emperor", "Xianyuan Beads" and "The True Immortal Body of the Past Generations".
