Chapter 18: Benefactor

"Let me outβ€”"

The cold dungeon echoed with the shouts of a girl in green clothes, who had been held in this dungeon since yesterday. Since last night, several waves of people have come to interrogate.

"Is this how you treat your saviors?" cried out the girl, clutching the iron railing. The voice was empty, and no one answered.

The girl sat down with her back against the iron railing and sighed three times.

I don't know how Xuanyuan Ming is now, whether his body has recovered. Lan Yi thought.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of footsteps in the dungeon, and turned to look, and the prison warden came to open the door with the key, followed by a team of guards.

"Come with us, girl. The leading guard said.

It was already night in Kyoto at this time, and Lan Yi followed the group, passed through the palace gates, and came to the palace of the Jingxuan clan, the mother of the current Fukuzawa king.

At this time, the hall was brightly lit, and many people were already waiting for her.

Lan Yi was led by the guards and approached slowly, first seeing Jing Xuan's clan sitting peacefully in the middle, a middle-aged man in a white robe standing on the left, and Xuanyuan Ming sitting on the right who had returned from the underworld last night. Xuanyuan Ming's spirit has recovered at this time, and his body should be fine.

There were two rows of men sitting on the left and right sides of Jing Xuan's and Xuanyuan Ming, each holding a pen and paper, and it seemed that they were going to be interrogated again today.

Lan Yi stood in the center of the main hall, and the surrounding circle of people began to question. In fact, the Jing Xuan clan had already arranged for people to investigate Lan Yi's details overnight, and this time the interrogation was done for the sake of prudence.

"This is the mother of today's King Fukuzawa Yue, Jing Xuan, and Prince Xuanyuan Ming. Thou shalt not deceive before the holy chakra, but answer truthfully. A black-clad official on the left said.

"Yes, the folk girl knows. ”

"Report your name. ”

My name is Lan Yi, I am seventeen years old, my family is blessed with people from the north, my father is in business and sells medicinal materials, my mother is in charge of housework at home, there are three brothers and two sisters at home, my father and brother are both brave and righteous people, my mother is virtuous, and my sisters are all fierce people raised as boys since childhood; my father knows some medical skills, so my medical skills are learned from my father; this time I ran away from home in order to come to Beijing to ask for medical skills from famous doctors; I have been out for more than a month, because I know a little bit of fists and feet, and I am a woman dressed as a man along the way, so no one dares to bully me along the way...

Lan Yi answered one by one, and his life history was varied. Later, several royal physicians led by the white-robed man on the left side of the Queen Mother assessed a lot of medical pharmacological knowledge, and Lan Yi answered carefully.

"What kind of medicine did you use to treat the prince yesterday, and what kind of medicine did you give the prince?" Jing Xuan asked in person, his tone revealing great concern.

"This - the use of medical techniques is acupuncture, acupuncture is just an ordinary method of sedation, mainly because the medicine is relatively rare. I got that medicine from an immortal who went down to earth by chance, and this medicine is a soul rejuvenation elixir, which can bring the newly dead back to life. It's a pity that there is only one pill of this medicine, and it has now been used up. Lan Yi replied truthfully.

Jing Xuan's eyes were gloomy, and he was extremely disappointed when he heard "Only this one is now used up". She originally wanted to keep this divine doctor girl to serve by Xuanyuan Ming's side, maybe this girl was the person she had been looking for to save Xuanyuan Ming's life. Now that she said this, it seems hopeless to save Ming'er's life.

"However, when I burn incense and pray every day, maybe the immortal will reappear!" Lan Yi said.

When Jing Xuan heard this, he rekindled his hope.

"Okay, well, I have a sick grandson, and the girl treated one yesterday. Jing Xuan wiped away his tears, "The imperial doctor said that this child will not live to be twenty years old, girl, you are kind and virtuous, and stay in the palace for some time, to help find a way to save the child's life, I don't know if you are willing to girl, your family, someone will personally report the girl's safety." ”

Lan Yi was extremely moved when she heard Jing Xuan's words, and she also shed tears unconsciously. "If it can save people's lives, Lan Yi is willing to stay and give it a try. ”

"Good, good, what a good boy with a good heart. ”

Lan Yi was arranged to be on an errand in Xuanyuan Ming Palace, and Jing Xuan's clan wanted to set up an altar, hoping to invite the immortal monarch again, and seek the immortal method to make Xuanyuan Ming get rid of the dead disease.

From beginning to end, Xuanyuan Ming leaned back in his chair idly, without saying a word, his face was neither happy nor worry-free, without any expression, he just looked indifferently at the kneeling woman in front of him. Although the woman's answer was seamless, he always had doubts in his heart that he couldn't let go.

Outside the Kyoto Imperial Palace at night, in an inn, Prince Izusawa was sitting at a table carefully polishing a sword that shimmered with cold light, and his bodyguard, Dumb, brought him water.

"Expelling evil today, the prince is really wise and brave, and he is clever. Dumb patted the master's ass.

The prince gave Dumb a cold look, and then fell into the memories of today's events.

After encountering a ghost and killing someone last night and painting the face of the deceased, Prince Wen's master and servant took the portrait to visit various markets in Kyoto.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and they first confirmed that the person killed last night was indeed a knife maker.

The master and servant walked to the side of a house next to a vegetable market, and a woman was shocked to see the portrait of the murderous corpse.

"W-isn't this the second expensive?"

"Do you recognize him?"

"He lived near my house, he was a knife maker, and he had been missing for a few days, and when the government came to his house, there was blood on the walls and floor, but the body could not be found. ”

"There's a butcher around here, and he's been dead for days?"

"Yes, yes, there was a butcher who committed suicide a few days ago. ”

"What's the butcher's name, and who's in the house?"

"His name is Zhao Wu, and he has a wife and a son at home, hey-it's also pitiful, Zhao Wu's family is poor, and this wife and son all died of illness before Zhao Wu died. ”

"Can you take us to this butcher's house?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, that house is extremely evil, go yourself, it's right in front. The woman pointed to the end of the alley.

Prince Wen's master and servant walked inside, and when they reached the end of the dilapidated house, they knew that this was it.

Push the door and enter, there are only two rooms in the house, the entrance is the middle hall and kitchen, and the left side is the bedroom.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a musty smell, and the house was surrounded by walls. There is an earthen stove in the middle hall and sporadic kitchen utensils. There was only a broken bed in the bedroom, a torn quilt on top of it, and nothing else. There is a huge hole in the roof of the central hall, which can be seen to have been broken a long time ago, and it is speculated that the owner of this house has no money to repair it, and is really poor.

The master and servant walked into the bedroom, but saw a black shadow and ghostly cloaked squatting in the corner.

"What the hellβ€”" Dumb screamed in fright.

"What's the noise, don't you see that it didn't pounce on us today?" said Prince Wen, "ghosts are not always terrifying, and there will be times when they return to their nature." ”

"Oooh. Dumb returned to his composure.

The master and servant stepped forward and questioned the ghost.

"Are you Zhao Wu?"

The ghost's eyes glazed over, and he didn't answer.

"Your enemy is dead, why hasn't the ghost gone?"

The ghost is silent.

"Heyβ€”let's check it out for ourselves. Prince Wen turned to Dumb and said.

So I looked for clues in the house. There was nothing in the house, but I was afraid that the house would be sold out for the sake of treating my wife and children, and I was afraid that there was at least something to lie down and keep warm in order to take care of my sick wife and children. Look again, there is a dilapidated rattle that teases children in the place where Zhao Wu's ghost's dull gaze looks, and the drum surface is broken and mutilated at this time.

"I know," Prince Wen suddenly realized, "his heart is depressed by his dead wife and children, and the grudge is too great for his ghost to disperse." ”

"He went to the underworld to report to the king of Hades, and when he arrived, he saw his dead wife and children, and he stayed here for a long time. Dumb asked.

"No, once the ghost is formed, the ghost can only dissipate by breaking the resentment in his heart. ”

"Oh," Dumb said, "but Your Highness the Prince, I don't know why this man killed." ”

"You stupid! I don't know. Don't you see how poor the Zhao Wu family is? Think about his broken pig-killing knife, which has clear inscriptions, and is newly bought, how can the new knife be so damaged? Besides, I am grinding the knife on the ground, and this knife is a blunt object, and it cannot be sharpened. It must be that the second noble knife maker deliberately embarrassed the butcher and deliberately made it bad. If you want to kill a pig, the knife is a butcher's meal, you can't make money without a knife, how can you treat your wife and children without money!"

"Ahh "Thatβ€”what now, my wife and children are dead, how can I resolve my grievances?"

"Now the only thing to do is to ask for the Spirit. ”

Please spirit is a kind of folk witchcraft, please the spirit of the bell chanting incantation, from the Yellow Spring to invite the soul of the dead. Prince Izumi Zewen didn't learn much about the serious things, but he did a little bit of research on the side.

So, Prince Wen took out a witch bell from the Qiankun bag, shook the handle, and recited words in his mouth, the spell roughly means that at a certain time and a certain moment in the residence of Zhao Wu in Kyoto, because of the resentment of the soul, he specially asked the king of Hades to allow Zhao Wu's wife and children to come to speak.

Then, King Wen took out a bottle of silver potion from the Qiankun bag, put it in his mouth and sprayed it into the air. This bottle is a spiritual water that can invite the undead to appear.

I saw that in the place where the spiritual water was sprayed, a woman and a child suddenly appeared.

"Zhao Wuβ€”" The woman ran to the ghost with the child.

The ghost suddenly got emotional, got up suddenly, tears rolled in his eyes, hugged the woman, and hugged the child and kissed non-stop. The warm picture moves the viewer.

"Zhao Wu, the king of Hades said that you have done a lot of evil things in the world, don't be like this, now follow me to the underworld to suffer once, and then wait for the next life to be reincarnated as a human. ”

Zhao Wu hugged his wife and children and sobbed.

Prince Wen opened his mouth to speak, "The way of heaven has its own cause and effect, the enemy is dead, and innocent people should not be harmed again. Go with your wife and children, for you have done many injustices in the world, and you will inevitably suffer a round of suffering when you come to the underworld. But I will pray for you to do the Dharma, and pray that after you have suffered in the earthly world, you will each join a rich house in the next life, and you will have the fate to meet again in the next life. ”

I saw Zhao Wuyin's ghost floating in front of King Wen, and suddenly knelt down, and fell to the ground for a long time. After thanking him repeatedly, he took his wife and daughter to report to the king of Hades. Then the yin in the house dissipated, and he returned to calm.

Dumbfounded couldn't help but wipe away tears and said, "The prince is really a righteous man." ”

The prince squinted at him, "What righteousness, you will do the ritual prayer, from today onwards, you will study the demon art for me, and you will do all the things that please pray for the spirit in the future!"

"I'm doing itβ€”"

Then the master and servant returned to the inn, and the prince sat at the table drinking tea and wiping his sword.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, what will we do in the future?

"No, I'm going to go to the Fuze Palace, the demon clan has appeared, and now there is a matter of summoning powerful ghosts to endanger the world, it was just a rumor before, but today it is confirmed, and I want to report this situation to my father in person. ”

(Recently, a friend suggested that the title of the character be modified, and now it is unified to the king, queen, etc., this novel is a fairy fantasy, no dynasty and no generation, everyone has time to read this book, but Bo smiled, don't be too entangled, haha~~ Happy ^_^ Monday)
