The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng's heart was in a turmoil, but his face was still calm. Fortunately, it was his first time to meet the Holy Spirit. Others only said that he was afraid, so it was common for him to turn pale and sweat profusely, and no one suspected it.

The Son of Heaven smiled and said, "Lu Sheng, don't worry, the master asks, and you answer as best you can."

Lu Sheng clasped his fists in both hands, lowered his eyes and replied, "Observe the decree, the general will know everything and say everything."

Immediately Abbot Yuanjue clasped his hands together, and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask the benefactor, are there any abnormalities in the northeast and southwest directions during the evocation in the middle of the night?"

Lu Sheng said, "I was in the room and never noticed..."

Master Qingfeng asked: "Dare to ask the benefactor, what kind of incense is burning in the room?"

Lu Sheng was ashamed, but still replied: "No, I never noticed."

The two masters looked at each other, Qingfeng still didn't give up, and asked a few more questions one after another, but Lu Sheng couldn't even understand what he asked, so he was unavoidably a little nervous, and lowered his head even lower.

Wei Su got up, stood beside Lu Sheng, and said with his fists together: "Your Majesty, Empress, this disciple of Weichen has only practiced some boxing and kicking skills, and he doesn't know anything about Xuanshi's alchemy. , and it is difficult to understand the meaning. I hope all the masters will understand.”

The emperor smiled and said: "I don't know, why did Xie Rong fall in love with you?"

Lu Sheng thought to himself, not only did he fall in love, but he also liked her very much.But there was a look of sincerity and sincerity on his face, and he murmured: "It's just...a coincidence..."

The queen lifted up the black lacquered cypress fan that opened into a semicircle, and covered her lips with a smile: "Xie Rong is a man who thinks highly of himself and has no dust in his eyes, but he only draws Lu Gongcao as his confidant. place."

Lu Sheng hurriedly responded: "The last general met by chance, and was once favored by Mr. Xie Rong...Mr. Xie Rong has a cold face and a warm heart, but he is actually a gentleman."

The queen laughed out loud, "Forget it, you don't have to cover up for Xie Rong, that young master's reputation is as cold as ice and unapproachable to strangers, and a few good words from friends can't wash it away."

The emperor turned his head and asked curiously: "The empress knows Xie Rong? Seriously... he is my cousin. How is this cousin?"

The queen said: "Heavy waist and pan temples, he is so handsome that no one in the world can surpass him. However, his temperament is cold and cold, his words are sharp and spicy, and he doesn't show mercy at all. I don't know how many girls in the capital have broken their hearts. Your Majesty has What I don't know is that if Xie Rong didn't bear the reputation of Luo Hu's evil son, the concubine would have married him by any means."

Lu Sheng's heart suddenly tightened. The empress, whose mother loved the whole world, openly expressed her love for the man next to him in front of the emperor and his officials. Even though the Dajin society was open-minded, it would be like this... It's shocking to the world.He was terrified, lest he would be wrathed by the thunder.

However, the emperor smiled all over his face, clasped his hands with the empress, and said softly: "Fortunately, the empress is still married to me."

Wei Su has long been used to the tenderness of these two people, leaving everyone aside, but Lu Sheng is quite uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the queen quickly changed the subject and ordered Lu Sheng to back down.

As if he had been pardoned, Lu Sheng withdrew from the hall, followed Wei Su's instructions, and went to the Xuanming Hall to wait. When he was walking with his servant, a man followed him, his cassock rustled with his steps, and he said in a low voice, "Lu Gongcao stay. "

Although Lu Sheng didn't want to pay attention, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in the palace, so he stopped in the corridor and replied, "What advice does Master have?"

Sun Guang said solemnly: "Gong Cao's complexion has improved compared to the previous few days, and the hidden danger has been eliminated."

Lu Sheng couldn't carry a sword when he entered the palace, but Sunshine misunderstood him, and he didn't explain much, he just said: "Master Lu is very much better now."

Although Sunlight smiled brightly and openly, his eyes were thoughtful, looking up and down, Lu Sheng inevitably recalled the muddled incident a few days ago, and his face darkened, but he heard Sunlight ask again: "Young monk, there is another one. Ask me something."

Lu Sheng replied bluntly: "Master, you are being polite, please explain, Master."

Sunlight looked aside, the servant who led the way was very obedient, so he retreated a few feet away to wait, and then Sunlight asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Lu Gongcao, after cooperating with Mr. Xie Rong to summon the soul, have you ever seen snakes, turtles, sparrows, Among the tigers, any phantom?"

Lu Sheng said coldly: "Lu has always misjudged people, but never misjudged things."

The corner of Sunguang's mouth curled up slightly, looking down at him, Lu Sheng did not show any weakness, and stared back viciously.

When the two looked at each other, there was another maid in the distance, leading a woman to come. The two of them had to retreat to the side of the road for a while, but the woman stopped and said with a smile: "Lu Gongcao, I didn't expect to be in the palace. We meet again. Could it be that Gongcao is also called to face the saint?"

Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, before recalling, he hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "Exactly, Lu is meeting the princess. The princess... has been reduced."

This woman is exactly Sima Qian, but after a month or so, this high-spirited noble lady of the palace seems to have changed. On the ground, empty, if not walking in broad daylight, I am afraid that it is almost the same as a wandering soul.

She smiled lightly, with a hint of sternness in her eyes, flicked her long sleeves, and said just now: "It's just a skin, there is no need to worry about it."

However, Sunlight set his eyes on her lovely plain white clothes, and asked: "This princess, is it possible that he is keeping his filial piety?"

Not only to observe filial piety, but also to respect filial piety, it is really unreasonable to enter the palace rashly.

Sima Qian smiled frankly and said, "I am here to eliminate harm for the people."

She glanced at Lu Sheng and said casually, "If there is nothing else to do, please step back, Lu Gongcao."

Lu Sheng had no choice but to say yes, Sima Qian didn't even look at him, and turned to Sun Guang, "I'm about to ask Master to help me."

Sunlight originally wanted to have a few more words with Lu Sheng, but now he had to follow Sima Qian back.

Lu Sheng watched the two of them go away. Sima Qian followed closely behind with two attendants, holding a tray in their hands. I don't know what they put on it.

He then followed the servant into the Xuanming Hall, before entering the hall, he asked the servant, "Is this the only way to the central hall?" The servant smiled and said, "Lu Gong Cao Yingming, that's exactly the case."

Lu Sheng felt more and more flustered in his heart, and the ominous omen seemed to be hanging down like dark clouds. He frowned and pondered for a while, then stood up suddenly, clenched his fists on his lips, and said in a low voice, "Not good."

He couldn't sit still any longer, and grabbed the servant leading the way, "Please lead the way, father-in-law, I want to leave the palace!"

The servant stammered in fright, and said, "This, yes, yes..."

"Hurry up!" Lu Sheng shouted, let go and strode out the door, the servant hurriedly followed, and couldn't care less about talking to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng's footsteps were windy, but the servant who led the way trotted along behind him, and only had time to show him the way. If it wasn't for the complicated paths in Taicheng, and guards patrolling from time to time, Lu Sheng would have left the servant behind and followed the way he came. Went outside the palace.

Now that he was patiently walking to the palace gate, Lu Sheng just remembered an important thing.When he came, he was accompanied by Wei Su, so naturally he could go in and out freely, but now he has to rely on his waist card to leave the palace.

Lu Sheng felt regretful and anxious at the same time, but Wei Su was in front of him, and he couldn't disturb him even if he had an urgent matter, so he had to think of another way.

He was lucky today, but after standing for a few breaths, before he could come up with a solution, a carriage stopped beside him, and when the curtain of the carriage was lifted, Sima Yu's suave and suave face with a warm smile appeared, that son of a bitch He smiled and said, "Lu Gongcao, I didn't expect you to enter the palace."

Lu Sheng was overjoyed, and hurried forward to salute, and asked, "Is the prince going out of the palace? I have something urgent, so I beg the prince to give you a ride."

Sima Yu said: "It's a little effort, come up."

Lu Sheng was not polite, jumped into the carriage, and left the palace smoothly. When Sima Yu asked him clearly, he was going to the post station to find Xie Rong, but he said he was on the way and sent him to the post post.Lu Sheng was grateful for his gratitude, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he jumped off and rushed to the post station.Fortunately, all the officers and soldiers at the post station knew him and did not stop him.

Sima Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and ordered: "So he came to look for Xie Rong too, follow up and see what's going on."

A guard agreed and followed into the post.

Xie Rong was reading a book in the wing room when Lu Sheng hurried in and said in a deep voice, "Ah Rong, something is wrong."

Xie Rong didn't even move his eyes, and replied: "I came back too early, so the little emperor didn't make things difficult for you?"

Lu Sheng said: "No... it's just that the masters of Xingshan Temple and Wuchen Temple are all there, and now Sima Qian is also gone."

Xie Rong put down the book, and then looked at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng was in the room anxiously like an ant on a hot pot. Entering the palace. What's more, when she met with me, she asked: "Gong Cao is also a sage entering the palace?" She used a single word. She has a grudge against you, and just now she specially invited Sunguang to go to the central hall, saying that she wanted to go to the central palace. People from harm……"

Xie Rong frowned, "Did you see the sunlight again?"

Lu Sheng was stunned, and suddenly said angrily: "The situation is urgent now, why do you care about these minor details! He was called to face the saint together, can I still avoid seeing him?"

Xie Rong just stood up slowly, and said: "It makes sense, let's forget it this time. As for that eldest lady, no matter what she wants to do, it will be a futile effort in the end, so don't take it to heart. Ruosong."

He only called out, and Ruosong answered in a low voice outside the door: "I obey." Then he went straight away.

Lu Sheng asked, "Xie Rong, do you know what Sima Qian is going to do?"

Xie Rong sneered and said: "Since Yao and Shun, there is nothing new in front of the emperor's eyes. It is nothing more than making a big fuss about the case of King Chuyu's secret use of sorcery."

Over there, Ruosong had already met Sima Yu's bodyguard, and he gave some hasty instructions in a low voice. The bodyguard's expression was serious immediately, and he turned back to report, and Sima Yu's carriage left the station, seemingly leisurely heading for the downtown area.

Lu Sheng wanted to ask again, but Xie Rong raised his hand to stop him and said, "Baoyang, thanks to your warning, he was saved, but it's just a matter of the future, so don't ask me any more."

Lu Sheng frowned and said, "Ah Rong, how can I let you get involved in the incident, but I stand by and watch alone?"

Xie Rong smiled, raised her hand and squeezed the young man's chin, and before Lu Sheng could fight back, she withdrew her hand and left in time, "Are you worried about me?"

Lu Sheng said seriously, "You are my friend, so I am right to be worried."

Xie Rong lowered her face and said: "It's useless to worry, you are not needed here, go back."

He turned his face when he really said that he turned his face, and drove Lu Sheng out of the station.

Although Lu Sheng was filled with anger, he had nothing to do with Xie Rong, so he returned home worried.
