All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 244 Catch Him ([-] in [-])

The old man's gaze swept over Shen Lingxi's face, and tremblingly walked to the large desk.

There is a water clock one person tall next to the table, and water drops drip from the funnel, making a constant "tick" sound.

The old Taoist took out the fire folder, lit a burner of incense, and lit the oil lamp on the table.

The aroma of "drunken heart" curls up from the incense burner, mixed with the sound of "tick" clock leak, which makes people's heart strangely calm.

"There are some medicinal herbs in this hall that cannot be seen in the light, so it is inconvenient to open the window. The hall is a bit dark. Please forgive me, the two benefactors."

The old man spoke in a hoarse voice, unhurriedly.With the dust whisk in his hand, he swept the two armchairs in front of the desk.

"Sir, please sit here."

Chu Yan held Shen Lingxi's hand expressionlessly, and sat down opposite the old Taoist.

"Also ask the female benefactor to extend her hand and let Pindao diagnose your pulse."

Shen Lingxi stretched out her hand as she said, and placed her white wrist on the cloth pillow placed on the table.

Her eyes looked at the old man, and unexpectedly, she met his eyes.

Under the light of the candlelight, she finally saw the old man's eyes clearly.

His pupils are hazel.

The flame of the oil lamp reflected strangely in his pupils, as if something was turning in the bottom of his eyes.

If you look closely, the swaying flames seem to be sucking people's souls into them.

Shen Lingxi froze.

It turned out that this was Wuerda's Zhu Youshu.

The old Taoist cut it on Shen Lingxi's wrist through the silk, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I don't know what the benefactor's illness is, why don't you tell me and let the poor Taoist listen."

Shen Lingxi stared blankly, but did not make a sound.

Seeing this, Chu Yan answered for her from the side: "It's a heart disease."

"My wife was born with a heart disease, and these days it's getting worse. I heard that Guanzhu can cure all kinds of diseases. I wonder if this heart disease can be cured?"

The old Taoist smiled when he saw that Shen Lingxi's gaze had begun to slacken.

Most women are sensitive minds and are most likely to be influenced by Zhu Youshu.

Hypnotizing women, he has always been effortless.

What's more, "drunken heart" is still burning in this temple.

The old Taoist withdrew the hand that was cut on Shen Lingxi's bright wrist, pretended to sigh deeply, and shook his head.

"What does Guanzhu mean?" Chu Yan asked anxiously, showing concern.

The old Taoist raised his eyes, looked at Chu Yan, and met his eyes, "The benefactor's blood is stagnant, and she really has a heart disease. This is a disease carried in the mother's womb, and it is an incurable disease. I am afraid she will die soon..."

Perhaps because of too much concern, Chu Yan was unknowingly attracted by the candlelight in his pupils, "I also ask the Lord to save my wife's life."

"Save, of course it can be saved...just..."

"Just how?"

"I want to ask you a lot, but the benefactor really likes her and admires her, so he must have her? Even if he dies for her...will he be willing?"

When the old Taoist asked this question, his voice was a little hoarse, as if carrying some kind of persuasive temptation.

Seemingly being touched, Chu Yan's warm eyes gradually became stiff.

"Yes." He replied in a low voice: "I really like her, I love her, I want her, even if I die."

"Very good." The candle in the pupils of the old Taoist flickered faintly, "Since the benefactor cherishes your wife so much, he shouldn't have brought her to such a dangerous place. If she made a mistake, wouldn't the benefactor regret it for the rest of his life? The benefactor once lost If you don't want to make the same mistakes again, you should protect her well."

Chu Yan was silent for a while, and responded: "You are right, I really shouldn't have brought her here."

His eyes became more and more dumb, and the words he spoke became more and more dumb.

There is no emotion in the voice, only echo.

Seeing this, the old man smiled more and more gently.

He took out two sachets from his sleeve pocket, handed them to Chu Yan, and said gently: "Your lady's heart disease, don't worry about fatigue. This sachet can relieve her a little bit of heart attack, I will put it Give it to the benefactor, and when you go back, you and her will wear it on your body at any time, which may allow her to live longer."

As he spoke, his voice was lowered, and the flames reflected in his light brown pupils flickered more and more strangely.

"Since ancient times, a hero has been saddened by beauty, and the benefactor, the newlywed Yaner, shouldn't waste time on past grievances. It's better to let go of hatred and obsession, and hold hands with your wife. Wouldn't it be happy, so that you and your wife will not be in vain."

"Okay." Chu Yan reached out to take the sachet, and held the sachet in his palm.

Seeing this, the old Taoist nodded with a smile: "The disease has been diagnosed and treated. There is no one you are looking for here. You can go back. Don't come here again in the future. Go."

After the words fell, Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi stood up hand in hand obediently.

The old man lightly raised the whisk in his hand, just about to get up--
Suddenly, a cold dagger pressed down on his neck from behind him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but your injury recovered quite quickly, so you can come out to deceive people so soon." Mu Huai'an spoke softly behind him, "You cursed her to be short-lived, but you didn't count it, your own Is life long?"

The old man shrank his pupils, "Who are you?"

He made a frightened look on his face, but secretly reached out and touched his sleeve calmly.

However, his hand just touched his sleeve——

The skinny wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

With a "click", there was a crisp sound from the joints at the wrist bone, followed by severe pain, which made him cry out in pain, "Hiss..."

His hands dropped limply.

The old man turned his eyes in disbelief, and saw the little lady in front of him, who had a dull expression just a moment ago, looking at him with a slight smile.

"Want to use poison?" Shen Lingxi tutted: "It's a pity that you are old and your reaction is a bit slow."

"You, how could you..."

"How can I?"

Shen Lingxi's clear apricot eyes looked directly into his eyes, without being affected by his pupils at all: "You want to know, how can I not be controlled by you, do you?"

She casually picked up the porcelain cup on the table, scooped up a cup of water from the water clock next to it, and poured out the incense in the incense burner.

"Your Zhu Youshu is useless to me." Shen Lingxi said leisurely, "I have neither obsession nor resentment in my heart. Even if you use 'Zixin', you can't control me."

Puppetry needs to be drawn by the soul as a thread, and the soul must be pure, powerful, and focused.

How can it be easily manipulated by others.

The old man turned his eyes to Chu Yan very quickly.

Chu Yan closed her eyes, and her lax eyes quickly returned to normal.

When he was looking at the past, he turned his eyes away and did not meet his gaze.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is how normal people react when they meet his gaze.

In front of unsuspecting people, Zhu Youshu is the best at hypnotizing them by surprise, just like Mu Huai'an last night.

If he had prepared himself in advance and resisted subconsciously, he might escape like Chu Yan.

However, even if he escaped for a short time, under the blessing of "Drunk Heart", if he looked at him again, he would still follow his way.

That's why Chu Yan avoided his sight.

But the woman in front of me——

The old Taoist looked at Shen Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes, and asked warily, "In the whole world, no one can look me in the eyes so directly. Who are you?"

"Of course I'm the one who came to catch you."

Shen Lingxi smiled lightly, reached out to him, and tore off his human skin mask.

Under the mask was a haggard, sallow face.

There is a brown birthmark on his left forehead, which is almost the same as the previous portrait painted in Yongtai Palace.

"Wur answer." Shen Lingxi called out his name accurately, "You are really easy for us to find."

Urda's pupils shrank suddenly, "You know me?"

He has not set foot in the Great Zhou Dynasty for several years, and he just entered Beijing with Princess Xiao not long ago.

At the age of the woman in front of me, how could she know him?
Shen Lingxi saw the question in his eyes, smiled, but didn't answer, and directly reached out to collect the things in his sleeve pocket, and spread them on the table.

They are all porcelain bottles and medicine powder wrapped in oiled paper.

"There are a lot of good things."

She looked at him with a half-smile, picked up those things one by one, put them on the tip of her nose and smelled them.

When she smelled something in a blue porcelain bottle, Shen Lingxi raised her almond eyes slightly, "There is even Qingxin San."

As she spoke, she poured the pills from the porcelain bottle into the palm of her hand and handed them to Chu Yan and Mu Huai'an respectively.

"Eating them will help suppress the 'intoxicated' medicinal properties in your body."

If it was just now, Wu Erda was secretly shocked when Shen Lingxi saw through his identity.

At this moment, when he saw Shen Lingxi, he could easily find "Qingxin San" from those bottles and jars of medicine.

When you can still say its name accurately——

A look of shock was already on Wuerda's face.

"Are you from the Medicine Palace?" He asked in a deep voice, "How did you escape from the holy mountain back then?"

Hearing Wuerda mentioning Yaogong, the smile on Shen Lingxi's face disappeared from the corner of her lips.

"Instead of knowing my identity, it's better to think about how to confess so that I can suffer less in the Beiya." Shen Lingxi said coolly.

"Hehe..." Wu Er replied that when she heard about Yao Gong, her face changed, and she suddenly laughed out loud, and said firmly: "You really are from Yao Gong."

He carefully looked at Shen Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes, and was amazed: "I didn't know that there was such a person as you in the medicine palace. Your disguise technique is so exquisite, I can't see any flaws."

"Let me guess... To pick out 'Qingxin San' so quickly, it must be someone close to the little princess. Are you Baiwu or Zizhu? No, no, they are both dead, so who are you? ?”

There was strong doubt in Wu Erda's eyes.

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that Wu Erda would be so familiar with Yao Gong.

In Yaogong, there is no one she does not know.

But Wuer replied that she had never seen this person when she was in the Medicine Palace.

"Who are you?" Shen Lingxi looked at him coldly, "What is your relationship with Yao Gong?"

Ur replied "haha" and laughed out loud, but didn't speak.

Although the light brown pupils are puzzled by Shen Lingxi, they are more curious about her.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi smiled and stopped asking.

She turned around directly, walked to the corner of the hall, and kicked away the scattered black clay pieces.

Following this movement, a ghost immediately appeared in the black circle in the center of the hall.

It was Mrs. Xie who was accidentally sucked into the formation just now.

Mrs. Xie didn't expect that they would capture Wu Erda so quickly, she felt a little lucky from the bottom of her heart.

The Xie sisters who had been wandering outside the hall also floated into the hall.

Seeing Uerda being captured, they also had gratified smiles on their faces.

But Wuer replied, seeing Shen Lingxi attacking directly and breaking his magic circle, his face changed slightly, and he scolded: "What are you doing!"

"Wherever you go, you put the soul-locking formations there. What is the purpose? Could it be that you are afraid of wronged souls taking your life?" Shen Lingxi asked with a half-smile.

Urda narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I just want to tell you that even though you can't see them, they are all by your side." Shen Lingxi said quietly.

Wu Erda frowned, and sneered: "Little girl, you are still a little tender for playing tricks in front of me."

Shen Lingxi took a deep look at him, and picked again from those bottles and jars.

She slowly opened a pack of medicine powder, twisted a handful, and swung it towards Uerda's eyes!

"Ah!" Wu Erda suddenly let out a scream, "You poisonous woman! How dare you destroy my eyes!"

"Use your poison to destroy your eyes, isn't it justified?"

Shen Lingxi said in a very innocent tone: "In this way, your Zhu Youshu will be useless, and I can rest assured that you will enter the Beiya."

She paused, and said meaningfully: "If your eyes are broken, you will be able to feel the feeling of a wronged soul taking your life."

Urda was trembling with pain, covered his eyes with his hands, and growled angrily.

Shen Lingxi said coldly: "His Royal Highness and I are very clear about what you have done before, this is just the beginning. If you are sensible, go to the Beiya and confess everything. Otherwise, I will leave all these poisons to you Try it on yourself, and you should know how effective they are."

"kill me!"

But within a few breaths, Wu Erda's eyes were scarlet, blood and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his light brown pupils were pitch black, with no light left.

"I have nothing to confess. I killed everyone. If you want revenge, kill me." He gritted his teeth and said.

"It's not that easy to want to die." Chu Yan said in an indifferent voice.

He winked at Mu Huai'an, "Take him back to Beiya."

Mu Huai'an nodded, and escorted him out.

Only Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi were left in the hall.

Shen Lingxi's eyes drooped slightly, and she put all the bottles and jars on the table into her sleeves.

These are all things in the medicine palace, but for some reason they are on Wuerda.

Shen Lingxi originally thought that Chu Yan would ask her about the "medicine palace".

Still hesitating, how to prevaricate this matter.

I didn't expect-

Chu Yan just thought about it and said: "Did you find out that he just thought that he used Zhu Youshu to control you and me, and his first reaction was not to kill us, but to let me put down the 'grudge', stop investigating the past, and let me go Let's leave..."

Shen Lingxi's heart relaxed slightly, "This man has a deep plan, so what he's planning this time must be more important than His Highness's life."

"That's right." Seeing her secretly relieved, Chu Yan tapped the back of his hand with his knuckles: "I thought he was ordered by Princess Xiao before, but now it seems that Princess Xiao may not have that ambition and ability."

"The most urgent task is to find out the origin of Uerda and find out his real purpose. I will personally go to interrogate him. As for the Yunjiang Palace..."

Shen Lingxi looked at him and said: "As His Highness said earlier, if this is a series of events, then we will solve the matter one by one. The matter of Yunjiang Palace, we will solve it in six days according to the original plan."

"As for Wu Erda... release the news about him being captured alive. If he has accomplices, he won't just sit and wait for death. We just need to catch the fish in the urn." She said meaningfully.

*
Six days later.

Sure enough, as Shen Lingxi expected, the capital city was full of turmoil and turmoil...
