Chapter 432(1/2)
There were many shadow guards gathered in the yard in front of the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion, holding lanterns, illuminating the entire yard.
The maid Xiaoyu held a water bowl, dipped her fingers in water, and gently bounced it upwards. Using the light reflected by the water droplets, she found the remaining thin lines. Yuda couldn't see clearly just now, but now, the careful girl had found three or four extremely thin silk threads.
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang walked into the yard.
Bai Yutang looked at the distribution of the thin lines, and Zhan Zhao went to see the cracks in the wall.
Kaifeng Prefecture was the largest yamen in the Song Dynasty. Although it was not magnificent, there could not be much crack on the wall. At this time, the legendary gap that was only as narrow as a small fingernail was drilled into, and nothing was left except for some wall dust.
Xiao Liangzi also ran into the yard. Xiao Sizi wanted to take care of Gongsun, so he was idle and watched the fun.
"Can a person get into this crack?" Xiao Liangzi looked at the crack in the wall, "You can't even get a piece of clothing here!"
After all, the child is quite lively. Xiao Liangzi is good at light skills and naughty. He looks like a little monkey around the courtyard wall up and down, left and right, front and back.
Finally, he squatted on the wall and started to be stunned.
Zhan Zhao looked up at Xiao Liang who was confused on the wall, "What's wrong with Xiao Liangzi?"
Xiao Liang tilted his head and said, "The cracks in this wall are only in front and not in back. Could it be that they are retracted into the wall? Are you a magic trick?"
Everyone looked at each other and understood why Zhao Pu kicked the palace wall when he was young, and probably was the same confused.
Everyone was busy, and Lord Bao came over.
Lord Bao was still calm as always, but he could also see a trace of worry between his eyebrows.
The Shadow Guards have been checking for a long time, but they still can't figure out what the ghost that appeared for no reason just now is. When they see Lord Bao coming in, they are a little difficult to explain.
Lord Bao learned a little about the situation and waved to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and the two followed him to the study.
After entering the study, Lord Bao did not say the haunted thing, but asked, "You two are outside today, do you hear any gossip?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both stunned and asked Master Bao in confusion, "What are the gossip?"
Lord Bao frowned and said, "I am in Taixue and Longtu Pavilion today. I heard someone talking about the haunted palace in the palace..."
"About Qige?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Lord Bao nodded, "It's not the first time that the palace is haunted or something wrong. It usually means no extraneousness, and it won't be spread after the order is not spread... But this time it's spreading the city, which is a bit strange."
"If someone pretends to be a ghost, it is impossible to spread rumors on purpose." Zhan Zhao said, "In addition, the demolition of the courtyard wall in the palace has made a lot of noise, which is even more suspicious."
"I guess someone will be rumored to be haunted tomorrow." Bai Yutang interrupted, "Zhao Pu was attacked by ghosts in Kaifeng Prefecture. This sounds much more terrifying than being attacked in the imperial palace."
Lord Bao browed deeply, "I am just worried about any conspiracy behind it."
Zhan Zhao saw that Bao Zheng was already busy with the Spring Trial, and this time he became even more troubled. After all, he was still old, so don’t worry about doing anything, so he comforted him, “Sir, don’t worry, we will step up the investigation.”
Lord Bao nodded, he naturally believed in Zhan Zhao... At the same time, he had a vague premonition. The spring trial was about to come, and he always felt that something big was about to happen.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left the study room. As soon as he walked into the yard, a red figure rushed over, "Zhao~Zhao~!"
Zhan Zhao turned around and saw that Hong Jiuniang was already hanging on his shoulder, touching her head, "Do you miss me?"
Zhan Zhao wondered, "Aunt Jiu? Why are you here?"
"You can't stay at home." Outside the yard, Wu Yifu walked in with his hands behind his back, nodding to Bai Yutang and greeted him.
Bai Yutang also nodded.
"Kaifeng is not peaceful..." Wu Yihuao seemed to sigh, "I just came and ran into a haunted man."
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang looked at him in surprise.
Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Uncle Xiaofu, did you see that female ghost attacking Zhao Pu?"
Wu Yihuai nodded, and Jiu Niang said, "I saw it too! It looks like it is really like that."
"Can you see the fake?" Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up.
Wu Yihuao shook his head, "I can't see it."
Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang sighed.
"But it is still possible to force it to do it, it's just a little trouble." Wu Yihuai touched his chin, "You might as well try it with the palace master."
Zhan Zhao was curious, "Can grandpa do it?"
"Don't let your grandfather indent the person into the crack of the wall, just let him instantly turn a big candle into the size of a soybean."
Zhan Zhao's eyes were wide open, that's what it means - this is OK?!
"Actually, it's not too difficult. As long as the internal strength reaches that level, it's also..." Before Wu Yifu finished speaking, Hong Jiuniang kicked him and glared at him.
Wu Yifa stopped talking, look aside.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both heard some implicit sounds.
Bai Yutang said to Zhan Zhao, "I'll go and ask Zhao Pu to see if he has any clues."
Zhan Zhao nodded.
Bai Yutang left.
The yard was left with Hong Jiuniang Wu Yifu and Zhan Zhao who was squinting his eyes.
Jiu Niang pinched Wu Yifu, "It's all your fault!"
Wu Yifu was innocent, "Zhaozhao and Yutang are not outsiders."
Jiu Niang glared at him.
Zhan Zhao looked at them, "What are you hiding from me?"
"Not..." Jiu Niang put his shoulder on Zhan Zhao and said, "Your grandfather has done this before."
Zhan Zhao tilted his head, "What have you done?"
"Uh... turning the candle into soybeans...similar." Jiu Niang looked at the sky.
Zhan Zhao is even more confused, similar to...
Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked Jiuniang, "Are you saying that grandpa used his internal strength to turn people into... lost?"
Jiu Niang looked at the sky.
Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Who did grandpa make that happen?"
"Don't blame your grandfather!" Wu Yifu came over to explain, "The Palace Master is not like that because of his cruelty. It's that the heart-changing person is so hateful!"
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, "What a heart-changing person?"
"Have you heard the most rumor about your grandfather that he needs people's hearts to practice?" Wu Yichao asked.
Zhan Zhao nodded. In the past, all kinds of terrible rumors about Yin Hou were flying all over the sky, and some were simply incredible. Two of them were more famous. One said that he crawled out of hell, and the other said that he needed to eat people's hearts and drink people's blood through practice.
Every time Zhan Zhao heard this kind of rumor, he felt it was ridiculous. In fact, Yin Hou's eating habit is very similar to Bai Yutang. He is most afraid of greasy and meaty. He does not touch the spicy food and does not touch the cold or cold. He only likes to drink some wine. Not to mention practicing martial arts and eating people's hearts, let alone letting them feel sick for a while if they eat a bite of raw fish.
"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied.
"It's really nonsense, but the palace master is actually taking the blame for someone." Wu Yihuao found a stool in the yard and sat down, and told Zhan Zhao in detail.
...
On the other side, Bai Yutang robbed the Tianzun who went out for a midnight snack halfway, and went to Taibaiju's room to ask him for a midnight snack. The fifth master asked about using his internal strength to get rid of the person.
The Heavenly Lord understood as soon as he heard this, and blew the wontons in the spoon and asked, "Who did you hear about the old ghost slaughter changing the inner demon?"
"The inner demon?" Bai Yutang felt that it affected his appetite when he heard the name.
"About decades ago." Tianzun ate the wonton, and then started to recall seriously with the honey chicken wings.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "You have lived in more than a hundred years. How long did it take decades ago? Ten or ninety years?"
The Heavenly Lord looked at him with his chicken wings in his mouth. That's what he meant - if you were so picky, I won't say it! I'm over 100 years old, is it interesting to tell me about my memory?!
Bai Yutang was powerless, so he had to ignore the time and let the Heavenly Lord continue.
Tianzun spoke, "Give me another chicken wing."
Bai Yutang held his forehead and asked the guy to give him a roast chicken, so that the Tianzun could eat it while saying that he would be less trouble.
Tianzun pulled off a chicken leg and put it into Bai Yutang's mouth. If he didn't eat it, he wouldn't say it.
Bai Yutang had no choice but to hold the chicken legs and look at the Heavenly Lord who continued to fight with the chicken wings. That's what you meant - what do you mean!
"That's how it is..." Before the Tianzun could speak, he heard a "puff" sound outside.
Bai Yutang frowned, walked over and opened the window, and Yaoyao squeezed in immediately.
"Oh!" Tianzun reached out and touched Yaoyao's head flying to his side, and scolded Bai Yutang, "Look at you, you don't even bring your pet with you!"
Bai Yutang asked the guy to get some fish again and pressed Yaoyao aside to tell him not to make trouble.
The fifth master closed the door and window to ensure that everything was foolproof. He sat opposite the Heavenly Lord and pointed at him with the chicken legs, "I finished talking in one breath!"
Tianzun scratched his chin, wiped the oil, and said, "Have you heard of someone called "Trouble?"
Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and surprised, "Do you want to worry about the Lord of the Krasun Hall?"
The Heavenly Lord nodded.
"The first hall in Yushan. Youxue was the one who once served as the leader of the martial arts world. He was very skilled... but later he died at the hands of Yin Hou, and it was said that the corpse was not preserved." Bai Yucheng also heard that, "This is one of the most criticized things that Yin Hou has been criticized... He tried to kill him back then, and the entire martial arts general Yin Hou was described as unforgivable. However, some people also said that it was a rumor that the man was not killed by Yin Hou, and Yin Hou could not kill him."
"Puff." Tianzun sprayed out a sip of wine.
Bai Yutang wiped the table with a handkerchief and then applied tea on his chin.
The Heavenly Lord curled his lips and was probably a little angry, so he didn't notice that Bai Yutang used to wipe the table and wipe his mouth with the same handkerchief.
Putting down the chicken bones, Tianzun waved his hand, "I'm worried about the three-legged cat kung fu, so I can fool those people in the martial arts world. How can I compare with that old ghost? Let me tell you, that is, the old ghost Yin Hou is old and has a little temper. I think when I was at this age with you and Zhan Zhao, it's so evil. Who in the world dares to provoke him except me?"
Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun and always felt that the tone of the words was not right. So he silently picked up the jar of wine that Tianzun drank and glanced at it, and saw the jar of wine that it was written on - Three Cups of Drunk.
