The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng walked through the lobby and into the study.

The study room was very spacious. An old man with a clear appearance was standing in front of a tall table against the wall, looking down.There was a two-foot-square wooden box on that side table, red lacquered and gold leaf, festive and rich, but the color was a bit old, and I don't know how long it had been placed.

At this time, the box was opened, revealing the full red wedding dress inside, and the lines of the phoenix's tail feathers were faintly exposed, the brilliance was bright and eye-catching.

Lu Sheng saw that his expression was calm and thoughtful, so he quietly walked forward and said, "Lu Sheng has met King Chu Yu."

King Chuyu was nearly seventy years old, with a tall figure. When he heard Lu Sheng approaching, he still looked down at the wooden box, and suddenly said, "The wedding dress worn by Yunchan originally belonged to my Prince Chuyu's residence."

Lu Sheng knew that there was more to come, so he only said yes, and King Chu Yu sighed softly, but he just asked people to sit and serve tea, and after a while, he said again: "70 years ago, Emperor Yuan was in power. At that time, there was a major case that shocked the court."

He suddenly talked about something irrelevant.

Although Lu Sheng was not familiar with the history of this dynasty, when he talked about the shocking events of the dynasty 70 years ago, he still vaguely recalled some of them, and tentatively asked: "What the prince said, could it be that it was the ink corruption case of Doctor Guang Luxun?"

King Chuyu said: "It's exactly...the daughter of Dr. Guang Luxun Wang Dong, who was originally betrothed to my late father."

Lu Sheng suddenly realized that he was attacked by the red mist, and the two he saw in a coma now finally knew their identities.

The woman who embroidered a wedding dress with a thousand gold, but was forced to become an official slave due to sudden changes in her family, turned out to be the daughter of the doctor Guang Luxun; But the man who married someone else and had a lot of descendants turned out to be the former king of Chuyu who had passed away for many years.

Lu Sheng sighed more and more, but he heard King Chu Yu hurriedly explain the cause and effect, and said: "my late father... knew that he was ashamed of Miss Wang's family, but later he only found this wedding dress, and regretted and lamented it day and night. Leave a will to be buried with the wedding dress."

What's the use of regretting only for a piece of clothing when the lamp is out after death?

Lu Sheng slandered endlessly, but he didn't dare to say it out. Instead, he asked, "Since it was buried with the late king, why was it taken out?"

King Chuyu sighed and said: "When my father died, my mother was still there, but my mother refused to fulfill his wish. When my sister got married, she made this clothes as a dowry and sent it to Yunfu."

Princess Lian An, the younger sister of King Chuyu, is Yunchan's grandmother. However, although this wedding dress is exquisite, luxurious and priceless, it can only be passed down as a treasure. Will be so confused, give it to Yunchan to wear.

King Chuyu said: "I have sent someone to ask my sister-in-law in private, but she didn't even know that the wedding dress was stolen, so she went to the warehouse to check after getting my message, and only then did she find the wooden box containing the wedding dress I don't know who opened the seal, and the clothes inside disappeared..."

The wedding gown was stolen in Yun's mansion, but she appeared in front of Yunchan immediately. Yunchan wore the wedding gown, was bewitched, was seized by ghosts, and wandered around the capital, taking people's energy and killing people's lives.

He had already heard the news yesterday that Mr. Yu Zheng, who met the female ghost in red at first, died at home because of no cure.

It's just that this person's sudden death was like getting rid of a harm, which made those who heard it breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Sheng frowned and said, "Who is it... This naturally needs to be investigated strictly. It's just that the prince will pass on to the future, so what's the matter?"

King Chuyu hadn't opened his mouth yet, but there was a voice at the door who sneered coldly: "What else can I do? Naturally, to trick me."

Lu Sheng turned his head, and saw Xie Rong, tall and tall, wearing a deep coat with pine and bamboo patterns on a stone-blue background, with deep wrinkles between his brows, walking over with big strides.

Lu Sheng hurriedly got up and smiled, "Xie Rong, you're here too."

As Xie Rong got closer, the expression on his face became more and more displeased, and he reprimanded: "When someone called you, you came here. As a Habayashi guard who specializes in investigating cases, you don't even have the slightest vigilance?"

When Lu Sheng met, he scolded him head and face. He was even more miserable and couldn't explain it. Fortunately, King Chuyu rescued him in time and said, "I invite Lu Gongcao to come, can he refuse?"

Lu Sheng nodded again and again, Xie Rong saw that his face was full of dissatisfaction, raised his hand, after all, he thought that there were other people by his side, and he didn't really hit the kid on the head, just flicked his robe sleeves, turned to King Chu Yu, with a cold face in a hurry After saluting, he glanced at the wooden box and said, "What King Chuyu said earlier is not true. Why is there Xuanqing's soul-suppressing seal engraved on the wooden box containing the wedding dress?"

King Chuyu remained calm, sat back on the couch with the support of his personal servant, and just now said with a smile: "As expected of Daoist Ge, he can see through the mechanism of this peach-wood box at a glance."

Lu Sheng also hurriedly looked at the peach wood box, but he could only see that it was red lacquered and gold foil, with rich textures, carved with peonies, chrysanthemums, and rhododendrons in various colors.As for the soul-suppressing seal, I couldn't find any clues.

King Chu Yu sighed: "Don't hide it from me, it's my family's misfortune, and it won't help if I mention it, so I skipped it, not intentionally concealing it."

Xie Rong said: "My lord first lured Lu Gongcao into the mansion, and then sent an invitation card to Xie. The picture is self-explanatory. It is easy for Xie to dispel evil and subdue it, but he doesn't like to be deceived and played by others. Lu Sheng, let's go."

Lu Sheng heartily thanked Rong for his big tone and crazy aura, and he was overwhelmed unconsciously. As soon as Xie Rong opened his mouth, he immediately responded, "Okay."

He actually completely forgot about the aristocrat Tianhuang sitting on the top.

Seeing him submitting, Xie Rong felt a little happy, and the two turned around as expected.

The old prince was furious, got up and shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Seeing that he was furious, Xie Rong smiled even more happily, like a scorching moon, shining brightly on the room. He brushed the folds of his sleeves, and said with a pleasant smile: "I am the son of the evil star Rahu, and I also studied under Ge Hong. , I have learned supernatural powers since I was a child, do you think I dare to be presumptuous?" He was really presumptuous, and even called you and me with the old prince who is nearly seventy years old.

King Chuyu's long gray beard trembled for a while, and his cloudy eyes turned to Lu Sheng.When Lu Sheng was stared at by him, he thought not to show weakness, so he stood upright and raised his voice, "I, my mentor is General Wei!"

Xie Rong also said: "Baoyang Zong is a nobody, since he was implicated because of me, who dares to offend him, I have a thousand ways to make this person not able to survive or die."

Lu Sheng was backed by Xie Rong, who possessed all-powerful supernatural powers, and suddenly he was full of courage, and the corners of his mouth rose. He recalled that Sima Qian accused Xie Rong of being cruel and heartless. If he had the chance to see the princess again, he would definitely argue for Xie Rong. .

King Chuyu's face was cloudy and uncertain, and even his beard was shaking.Xie Rong said: "My lord, if there is nothing wrong, Baoyang and I will take our leave."

The old man was immediately poked like a frustrated puffer fish by these words, sighed, sat down slowly again, raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead, and said in a hoarse voice: "The case of Doctor Guang Luxun's corruption of ink involves a lot, and it almost Under the wrath of Emperor Yuan, everyone was in danger. My late father didn't dare to act rashly at that time, fearing that if he was not careful, he would implicate the entire clan and hundreds of people's lives. So he abandoned Ms. Wang and ignored... my late father Although regretted endlessly, in the end, only Miss Wang was found as a relic, and she kept it every day. Unexpectedly, she was killed by a ghost attached to it, and she died young. Even her younger sister, Lian An, got married. Never waited."

Xie Rong smiled and said: "First consider the fate of the clan. Such a choice is also forced by righteousness and has to be done."

What he said was reasonable, but there was only sarcasm in his words, even Lu Sheng could hear it.

King Chuyu's face darkened, but he still sighed: "After all, it is not a glorious past. It is taboo for the elders, and I don't want to mention it... But it is true... It is not intentional to hide it. Fortunately, I got a Taoist priest back then. For advice, I refined this peach wood box and suppressed evil spirits with Xuanqing's soul-suppressing seal, and my family has been safe for many years. Unexpectedly, another disaster happened. Now it is Yunchan, but I don't know who will be next... Please, Mr. Xie, save me A whole family."

He stood up tremblingly, and gave Xie Rong a deep salute.

Xie Rong snorted again, and sat down on the VIP couch, "I made it clear earlier, why bother with all these incidents."

King Chuyu lowered his head, his expression was difficult to understand, but he just sighed: "Yes, yes..."

Xie Rong didn't care about him, and just said: "This resentful spirit has accumulated grievances for a hundred years, and he has some morals, so I can't underestimate him. I will make a list, and ask the prince to prepare the equipment and prepare a small courtyard for me. No one can do it." Enter." He glanced at Lu Sheng again, "It's useful for you to stay, and you don't need to go back today."

King Chuyu naturally agreed, and ordered people to fetch paper, ink, brush and inkstone for Xie Rong to make a list. The servant of the palace moved quickly, and within a cup of tea, the steward came to report that the small courtyard had been cleaned up and arranged properly.

Xie Rong took the lead, listed three full pages and handed them to the steward, and said: "Before the child's hour, be sure to prepare everything."

The steward naturally presented the list to King Chuyu for review. King Chuyu scanned it, sat up straight and said in a daze, "Sixteen pairs of wedding candles, a set of wedding clothes for the groom, and a set of drinking utensils... this, this Do you want to...?"

Xie Rong said, "Get married."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Seeing that no one else opened his mouth, Lu Sheng had no choice but to ask Ai Ai expectantly, "Who...is married to whom?"

Xie Rong glanced at him, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but he only said: "What's the rush, I will know it all later."

Then he turned his head and said: "I am going to discuss with the prince. This resentful spirit has accumulated grievances for many years. The reason is that the marriage is not successful. Now she has fulfilled her wish and weakened the resentment, so that she can restrain the evil and try to subdue her. Therefore, one of the bridegroom candidates must be It is the blood of the prince; the second one needs to be at the marriageable age; the third one needs to be compatible with fate."

King Chuyu pondered and said: "The first two can still be chosen among the children of the clan, this fate..."

Xie Rong said: "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the date of birth of the suitable child. Xie will check it out. This matter is just to subdue evil spirits by getting married. After the matter is completed, you can rest for two days. There will be no future troubles. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

King Chuyu said: "Mr. Xie is serious. It is related to the clan. This is a matter of duty. It's just the bride..."

Xie Rong suddenly smiled, "The secret must not be revealed."

========

When something happened here, Lu Sheng followed Xie Rong into the courtyard under King Chuyu, and asked again: "Xie Rong, what should I do?"

Xie Rong said: "Good life and rest, the success or failure of expelling evil spirits today depends on you."

Lu Sheng's head was huge, and he couldn't help squatting at the door of the wing room and moaning: "The next martial artist is good at investigating cases and arresting talents, and he doesn't know anything about ghosts."

Xie Rong said: "With me here, even if it doesn't work, get some rest. If you get tired later, I won't let you go."

Lu Sheng had no choice but to enter the wing room with a sad face. The room was decorated in a very simple and elegant way, and the bed was covered with high-quality vines. Lu Sheng was not polite, and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Xie Rong watched Lu Sheng enter the door, still standing in the courtyard, and asked with his hands behind his back, "Have you ever seen it clearly, how sure are you?"

The one-legged and bright red flamingo, which is no more than the size of a palm, slowly appeared on Xie Rong's left shoulder, bowed his head and said, "There is a faint wisp of inspiration in the box, but it is still thick and firm, heavy and not falling. The true soul of the young dragon tortoise can’t be wrong. It’s a pity that it was trapped in the formation and lost a lot of energy. If it is ignored, it will perish in at least 200 years. Now that I have the opportunity, I ask you to save it.”

Xie Rong said: "Since ancient times, the four elephants in the world have been guarding against the eight wildernesses. Now Bi Fang and Teng Snake are all there. My teacher has traveled thousands of miles to find the other two elephants for more than ten years but can't find them. Now that I have met them, I naturally want to save them. It's just..." He suddenly broke into a laugh, raised his hand to caress his chin, half-closed his eyelids, playing with his taste, "Originally, he just wanted to bring this kid back, but he didn't want to have an unexpected harvest. He is actually a treasure."

Bi Fang said: "It's the son's blessing."

Xie Rong laughed mockingly: "Fortune? Good and bad depend on each other, it's still unknown."

Bi Fang lowered his head again and said: "Bi Fang is a savage, ignorant and clumsy, and he said the wrong thing again, sir, calm down."

Xie Rong turned around and said: "You are honest, why don't you learn more about Teng Snake, just follow orders and never say a word."

Although Bi Fang was only a wisp of remnant soul, he also vaguely felt some grievances at this time.

The Remnant Soul of the Soaring Snake is several times weaker than it, and it can't even show a phantom, let alone speak?For comparison, it is difficult to be strong.

It's just that if Xie Rong was reasonable, he wouldn't be Xie Rong anymore.

A few hours passed by, and when Lu Sheng woke up, servants were coming and going in the small courtyard, and they were ordered to decorate the main house as a wedding hall.

After Xie Rong read the horoscopes of the school-age children in the clan, she took a pen around and selected Yun Ye.

King Chu Yu inevitably hesitated a bit, and asked: "This... Yun Ye is a person with a foreign surname, how can he have a stronger blood than my Sima family?"

Xie Rong said: "Princess Lian'an also took the first test, and her descendants can naturally inherit the blood of the first test."

King Chuyu was still hesitant, "But... my daughter's family will eventually give birth to other people's descendants."

Xie Rong sneered, "My lord has been bewitched by the heresy of Confucius and Mencius for a long time, but he really believes it? In ancient times, there were great witches who had the ability to communicate with gods, but this ability was passed on to women and not to men. In fact, relying on women's inheritance is more powerful than men's." It can extend the bloodline. If the prince refuses, just change someone. But if something goes wrong, it's not Xie's fault."

No matter how good the cultivation of King Chuyu was, he couldn't hold it anymore now, his complexion changed again and again. Seeing this, the steward at the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Can it be compared with my civilized country?"

Xie Rong leaned on the soft couch, supported her chest with one hand, but smiled more happily, "Oh?"

When Lu Sheng heard it, he secretly thought it was not good, this young master was going to say some vicious words, and he was resentful instead of saving people, so why bother.

Sure enough, Xie Rong said: "Being shrunk to the south of the Yangtze River by the barbarians in the north, what do you call it..."

Lu Sheng immediately said: "Xie Rong, why are women able to extend their blood more than men?"

He asked abruptly, but put on an open-minded and eager-to-learn face, staring at Xie Rong eagerly.

Xie Rong looked at his eyes that were as black as the night and as bright as the stars, but she couldn't get angry, so she said: "A few words, how can I make it clear."

Lu Sheng said, "It's okay, I'm very smart."

Xie Rong became more and more speechless, but King Chuyu sighed and said: "Forget it, I really don't understand the matter of Xuanming, so I will act according to what you say. Liu Fu, go to Yunfu quickly, so I can invite Mr. Yun over. "

The steward who interjected seemed to be King Chuyu's confidant, so he immediately agreed and stepped back.

The night was dark, and it was already past the curfew time, but with the famous card of King Chuyu, there was no trouble in traveling to and from the capital.The old prince was old after all, according to Xie Rong's order, everyone left the courtyard again, and went back to rest for a while, only ordered people to pay close attention to the movement and report in time.

Lu Sheng was messing around before, but when the crowd left, he felt a little nervous, touched the hanging pot on his waist, and said, "Xie Rong, the groom has been chosen, and who is the bride?"

Xie Rong said: "Follow me." She turned and walked into the side room.

Lu Sheng was shocked and said, "So it's already been chosen? Who is it?"

He followed into the side room, but saw Ruoxia and Ruodei, who were smiling and separated from each other, and said with a happy body: "I have seen Mr. Baoyang."

Lu Sheng was thinking, Ruodie is too young, could it be that she wanted Ruoxia to pretend to be a bride?Xie Rong's face is indifferent, but he really cares about this matter, saving people from distress, he is really a good person...

But suddenly he heard Xie Rong's order: "Put it on for him."

Ruoxia answered here, and took out the bright and gorgeous red wedding dress from the wooden box placed on the flower table, but Ruodee came forward with a smile, dragged Lu Sheng's arm into the room and said, "Young Master Baoyang, please forgive me." Ruodie waits for the young master to dress."
