Xie Ci set off on the same day, relying on Sikong's appearance for alms all the way, and arrived at the palace five days later.

Wen Renmin had sent someone to wait for him at the gate of the palace early on, and when he heard that he had arrived, he came out to greet him in person.

I heard that the dynasty worshiped Buddha, and monks don't need to kneel down to pay homage to the saints, so they just put their hands together and bowed, saying: "See Your Majesty."

"Hurry up and get rid of the ceremony!" Wen Renmin greeted him, his handsome face could not hide his excitement, "How is the little emperor? Please go all the way, the widow has prepared a vegetarian meal to welcome you, please follow the widow Come."

Xie Ci clasped his hands again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The name of his entry into the palace this time is to preside over a blessing ceremony for the royal family, praying for good weather and peace in the world in the coming year.After all, the breeding of monsters in the palace is a taboo among taboos, which will damage the dragon spirit and destabilize the country, so the courtiers and common people must not know about it.

Wen Renmin was obviously very anxious about this, his eyes were black and blue, but his face was pale, and blisters formed at the corners of his mouth.

Sikong didn't open his eyes, so Xie Ci couldn't tell whether the dragon aura on the emperor's body was polluted, but judging by his appearance, it is estimated that he is eight or nine.

After the fast meal, Xie Ci said that he needed to know what kind of vision happened in the palace. Wen Renmin summoned the witnesses and told him one by one.

Maid A: "This servant is the sweeper of the Leng Palace. Not long ago, I discovered that many wild animals suddenly appeared in the palace, including yellow skins, raccoons, and even wild foxes! ... Where did they come from? The servant doesn't know either. , These things have never appeared in the palace, let alone it is still winter, how can those wild animals come into the palace! The slaves have heard those wild animals howling for several days at night, oh, old man Infiltrating people!"

Eunuch B: "This servant is serving His Majesty's tea in front of the imperial court. That day, my servant was serving His Majesty as usual, and unexpectedly, I saw the "Mountain Ghost Picture" on the wall. The mountain ghost on the painting is smiling at my servant! At that time, I was so scared that I panicked, and even bumped into the holy car, the slaves deserve death!"

Wen Renmin testified: "Indeed, I didn't believe it at the time, but within two days, I also saw that mountain ghost turned his head and smiled at me!"

Xie Ci asked, "Where is that painting?"

"The widow has already ordered someone to burn it," Wen Renmin said, feeling a little uneasy again, "Uncle Huang, is it wrong to do this?"

Xie Ci was not sure, so he had to ask again: "After the painting was burned, did you find any abnormalities? For example, the mountain ghost entered the dream, or can you still see the phantom of the mountain ghost on weekdays?"

"That's not true." Wen Renmin said.

Xie Ci comforted, "Then it's all right."

That painting is probably an ancient relic that is about to become refined, and it was refined in advance as soon as it was affected by the evil spirit raging in the palace.However, if the portrait was burned, the resentment of the painting demon would probably not be small.

"Are the remaining ashes from the burning of the painting still there?" Seeing Renmin nodded, thanking him, he was relieved, and said, "Please also deliver the ashes to the poor monk, Your Majesty, to save it."

Everyone immediately showed reverence, and the emperor repeatedly praised him for his compassion and Buddha's heart.

Xie Ci was so praised that he almost couldn't bear his old face, so he coughed quickly and called the third witness to speak.

The third one is the Imperial Guard who patrols Miyagi. He is much calmer than the first two. He speaks clearly and narrates well-organized, but the content of what he said makes the scalp tingle.

"The villain was on duty in the first half of the night three days ago. When he was ugly, he was off duty. It was so dry and freezing. After he was off duty, he drank a few cups of hot wine with his colleagues in the shift room. After drinking, the villain went back to his room to rest and slept on the bed. Next, I vaguely saw a dark shadow beside the bed. The little man thought it was his roommate, so he called him, but the black shadow made a woman's laughter. The little man was mostly sober at that time, and the big man He shouted and hit the black shadow, but the black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"The villain quickly lit the lamp, but there was no one in the room. The villain didn't dare to fall asleep at the time, so he sat on the bed with a knife in his arms. Then he accidentally fell asleep again. In the middle of the night, the villain was woken up by urinating , as soon as she opened her eyes, there was a plate with a big white face hanging above her head. The woman, no, the female ghost's face was very close to the villain's nose, smiling at the villain, and blowing at the villain... "

Everyone around listened intently, the tall and mighty man turned pale, swallowed in fear, and paused before saying: "The villain was so frightened that he fainted at that time, it wasn't until the next morning that the roommate When I came back, I found that the villain was sleeping under the bed, presumably the female ghost dragged the villain to the ground."

A kind of monster called "Paper Dance" immediately popped up in Xie Ci's mind. This is a kind of mischievous little monster that can turn into the most feared things in people's hearts to scare people. Human fear is their food.It's just that this kind of monster can't really hurt people, which is why the guard's experience sounds so horrible, but he was unharmed.

Cough, I just didn't expect that the thing that a nine-foot-long man fears the most is a female ghost...

After listening to the statements of the three witnesses, Xie Ci fell into deep thought.

These three are only the most representative witnesses. In fact, there are even more people in the palace who saw the vision.

It sounds really smoky and overgrown with ghosts and monsters. Those who didn't know it thought that the palace had become a place for monsters to gather and have fun.

However, so far no one in the palace has disappeared or died because of this, but the frequent visions have made everyone in the palace feel insecure and panicked.

It seems that the big monster in the palace is indeed not an evil thing that will cause harm to the world.

Xie Ci asked again: "When did the various visions appear in the palace?"

The crowd whispered to each other for a while, and finally an older court lady stood up and said: "Returning to the holy monk, at the earliest a month ago, the servants saw peony flowers blooming in the imperial garden. The flowering period of peonies should be in late spring, but in the imperial garden But the peonies suddenly bloomed at the beginning of winter, and didn't wither until the end of the flowering period a few days ago."

"A month ago..." Xie Ci pondered for a while, and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened in the palace a month ago?"

Wen Renmin shook his head hesitantly, "I have no impression."

The palace people below also shook their heads.

Since you can't ask why, you can only use a stupid method.

Xie Ci took out the compass for measuring monster energy from his pocket. This thing is very accurate, but it must be measured within three feet. According to the scope of the palace, it is estimated that he would break his leg.

Wen Renmin originally planned to go with Xie Ci, but after hearing his "magnificent" plan, he knew that ten days and a half months would not be enough, so he had to settle for the next best thing and assign his chief executive, Wang Neishi, to he.

"Little Huangshu," Wen Renmin looked tired, although he didn't show his emotions, there was still sadness in his eyes, "Whether the palace is safe or not depends entirely on you."

With such a big hat on, Xie Ci felt a little stressed.

There are many female family members in the palace. Although Xie Ci is a monk, he is also a foreigner after all, and it is inconvenient to walk. He decided to start with the cold palace with few people.

The cold palace has accumulated the grievances of countless women for thousands of years. It is extremely dark, and it is also the place where evil spirits are most likely to gather.As soon as Xie Ci walked under the remote palace wall, a wild fox came from nowhere and rushed past his feet.

"Ouch!" Wang's servant jumped in surprise, and hastily jumped to the side.

Xie Ci hastily reached out to support the 60-year-old man, Wang's servant gave him a grateful bow, and the two walked into the cold palace.

Occasionally, two or two palace people sweeping the snow can be seen in the deserted palace, and from time to time there will be one or two figures of unknown animals jumping by.

As soon as Xie Ci walked into the cold palace, he took out the compass. The compass was slightly hot, and the pointer on it was spinning around like a headless chicken. It was obvious that the surroundings were full of evil spirits, which made this precious little thing lose its sense of smell. .The compass in his hand sometimes didn't work, so he could only walk by feeling as it spun wildly. If the pointer stopped in one direction for more than a second, he would go in that direction.

Xie Ci and Wang's servant stopped and walked, and after about half a stick of incense, they came to an open place, which was probably a small garden, but now the garden is desolate with few flowers and trees.There were two little servants standing there in the garden, and one of them was holding a long, thin and stiff thing in his hand, and was about to throw it to the ground when he lifted it up.

The compass in his hand suddenly heated up at this moment, and the thin pointer pointed straight ahead.

"Wait a minute, little eunuch!" Xie Ci hastily called out to stop the man.

The two little servants were taken aback for a moment, they didn't recognize the immortal monk in white, but they recognized the chief internal officer next to the monk, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

The thing was still pinched in the hand of the little servant, Wang's servant called them up, Xie Ci approached and saw that what he was holding in his hand was a small green snake, less than two feet long, with a triangular head, stiff and stiff Like a thin stick.

It was actually a bamboo leaf green, or a frozen bamboo leaf green.

Xie Ci was disappointed after seeing it, this Zhuyeqing was at most a little monster with 400 years of practice, maybe barely considered a tyrant in this cold palace, but it was not the big monster he was looking for.

What's more, this "Yiba" who didn't hibernate for some reason was still frozen in the snow, was pinched seven inches by humans, and was almost thrown to death.

The little servant holding the snake looked at Xie Ci uneasily, and carefully asked: "Amitabha, Master, what's the matter?"

Xie Ci originally wanted to ask the servant to let the snake go, but for some reason, it ended up saying: "Little eunuch, please give this snake to the poor monk?"

The little waiter widened his eyes in surprise, and said, "Master, this is Zhuyeqing, it's poisonous!"

His companion hastily shoved him with the shoulder, as if telling him not to talk too much to make the nobleman unhappy, so the little waiter hesitantly handed the snake over with Qicun pinched.

Xie Ci smiled and thanked him for his kindness. He stretched out his hand to take the frozen snake, and brushed his palm over the snake.

Next, Xie Ci did something that neither others nor himself could understand.

For some reason, his brain twitched, and he carefully put this piece of bamboo leaf green into his lapel.

It wasn't until he heard the exclamation of the other three people that Xie Ci suddenly came back to his senses. The cold snake scales pressed against the skin of his chest, and he shivered from the ice.

"God! Master Sikong, this snake is extremely poisonous!" Wang's servant exclaimed, trying to pull the snake out of his body, but he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he could only stare anxiously from the sidelines.

Xie Ci stretched out his hand to hold the cold body curled up in a soft ball against his chest, through the thin white linen monk robe, for some reason, he didn't take it out.

As if he knew the little guy wouldn't bite him.

There is no reason for this feeling. Although Xie Ci is not afraid of snakes, he definitely does not like them, but this poisonous Zhuyeqing, which is likely to bite him back after waking up, made him naturally produce a kind of it Will not hurt their intimacy.

——Probably the farmer who saved the snake thought so too.

Xie Ci began to feel a little regretful, but facing the eyes of the three people around him who had turned to admiration, he was too embarrassed to take the snake out again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to let it stay in his arms.

Xie Ci held the compass in one hand and held the snake in his arms with the other, and turned around the entire cold palace until the sunset was over, but found nothing.

The Zhuyeqing woke up when they walked halfway, Xie Ci lowered his head when it was moving, just in time to see it poking out a small triangular head from the skirt of his clothes.

Xie Ci looked at its golden snake pupils for a moment, those little bean-like eyes narrowed slightly in a very humane way, and then the little snake that woke up from the cold lazily spit snake letters to him.

The author has something to say:

*The mountain ghost is the mountain ghost of Qu Yuan

*There is indeed a kind of monster called Paper Dance who likes to play pranks, but it is my private design to be able to transform

Ah Jiu in this world is super cute, and I don’t know if any little angels see the connection with the previous article. I laid the groundwork a long, long time ago.
