Strange Records of Xijing

rainy night.

The two figures walked quickly under the palace wall, one in front of the other.

There were already people waiting in front of the palace gate. Seeing these two people, they let them go without further questioning.When these two people entered the palace gate, the guards on duty stood up straight in the rainy night, as if nothing had happened.

If there were other people present, they would definitely not be able to help screaming out—the East Palace, the palace where the prince of the Zhou Dynasty lived, actually allowed two suspicious-looking people to enter so easily!

The East Palace was exceptionally quiet tonight. Although there had been no more laughter and laughter in the East Palace since the crown prince fell into a coma and the emperor executed two hapless maids in anger, there was an unusual dead silence in the East Palace tonight.

The two people went under the eaves, took off the rain capes on their bodies, and handed them over to one of them.The man took out a large tarpaulin from his arms, wrapped the raindrop in it, and said immediately, "Master Wan, this way."

The other person was Taoist Wan who came back from the Western Regions with the ghost seal. He straightened his cuffs with a look of determination on his face, and replied, "Please trouble me to lead the way."

The two came to the main hall of the East Palace one after the other. When the maids guarding the door saw the two, the leader took a step forward, put his hands on one side, bent his knees, and said a blessing: "Eunuch Wang, Your Highness has just taken the medicine and has already fallen asleep."

Wang Guofu raised his eyebrows and said, "During this time, Your Highness has become more and more restless at night. This is the Taoist priest who came here to do this for His Highness. Hurry up and get out of the way."

Wang Guofu was an old man by the prince's side. He had been there to serve the prince when the prince was less than one year old. Since the prince became seriously ill, he has become an uncompromising figure in the East Palace.

The maids were afraid of Wang Guofu and didn't dare to say much, so they opened the door and invited the two people in.

In the bedroom, apart from the dying prince sleeping on the bed, there were only two accompanying maids left.When the palace ladies saw Wang Guofu, they hurriedly saluted.Wang Guofu took advantage of the Daoist priest's method to make the two maids retreat on the grounds that all the idlers should retreat, leaving only the three of them in the bedroom.

After the maid left, Daoist Wan laughed: "My lord, it seems that the East Palace is not so strict."

Wang Guofu wiped the sweat off his face, and apologized with a smile: "Let Daoist Wan see it, these maids, except for the grand maid next to the prince, will be replaced as soon as they reach 15 years old. Those four grand maids are all older. Now, I have my own idea, if I hadn't dismissed them in advance, I'm afraid I would have to spend a little more time today."

Taoist Wan didn't care about his explanation, the prince was on the bed, but he ignored him, left his master aside, and sat down on his own.

Wang Guofu couldn't help asking: "Master Wan, isn't this the beginning?"

Daoist Wan waved his hands and said, "We still have to wait for a stick of incense."

Wang Guofu was a little surprised: "Why is it taking so long?"

"Do you think this summoning is eating?" Daoist Wan raised his eyelids and gave Wang Guofu a white look, "The time and place are right and people are in harmony, now it's time to wait for the right time."

Wang Guofu saw that Taoist Wan was confident, he let go of half of his hanging heart, and asked with a smile: "Why does the crown prince take a fancy to this sick man? I think his body is corrupt, and he will have to take care of it in the future. How about Wouldn't it be better to change to a healthy prince's body?"

Daoist Wan sneered: "You think this is picking pork from a butcher's shop? With the power of the whole country, can't it be possible to recuperate a person's body? This is the prince, and the status and status are there. If another prince is chosen, When this man dies, if His Highness wants to regain the crown prince, he will have to fight with other princes, and it will also depend on the intentions of the cheap emperor, so it is better to seize his body at this time."

Wang Guofu slapped his head: "Exactly, exactly."

Taoist Wan said again: "This is also what Your Highness means."

As for another reason, Taoist Wan would never tell Wang Guofu——

At the beginning, he used Shangguan Yun's feelings for his dead wife, Yuniang, to recall Yunniang's soul from the underworld, and brought Shen Hongying's body back to life. At the same time, he stuffed another soul pulled out of the underworld into Shen Hongying's stomach.

Daoist Wan didn't have so much extra kindness. He helped Shangguan Yun, but he used Shangguan Yun to achieve his goal.

During that time, Wan Daoshi observed the changes of Yunniang and the child in her belly openly and aboveboard.He found that Yun Niang completely occupied Shen Hongying's body, and at the same time retained the memory of her previous life, while the soul in her belly went another way, becoming a ghost fetus and extremely unstable.

Now that the deposed prince wants to use the dead body to revive his soul, he naturally chooses Yunniang's method.

As Wang Guofu's face became more and more sweaty, the time for a stick of incense finally passed.

Taoist Wan stood up, set up a formation in front of the prince's bed, took out the ghost seal from his arms, and placed it in the center of the formation.

There was no need for Taoist Wan to speak, Wang Guofu hid in a corner early in the morning.

Daoist Wan made formulas in one hand, held a mahogany sword in the other, stepped on crane steps, and muttered words in his mouth.

A gust of wind blows, blowing countless curtains in the palace.The only candlelight in the palace hit the figure of Taoist Wan on the curtain. At first glance, it seemed that countless black shadows were stirring.

Wang Guofu saw it in his eyes, kept wiping the sweat that kept coming out, and kept chanting Buddha in his mouth.

Bang!

The door was blown by the wind, and the cold wind howled and rushed in, hitting the person on the bed.

Suddenly, all the candles in the palace were extinguished, Taoist Wan read the last word, turned his wrist, and pointed the mahogany sword at the prince on the bed.

With gusts of wind blowing past his ears, Wang Guofu seemed to hear a voice laughing.

He couldn't help but close his eyes tightly, curled up as much as possible, and tried his best to hide in the corner, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

When the candle was lit again, the person on the bed stretched out a hand from under the quilt.

Taoist Wan took away the ghost seal and mahogany sword, walked to the bed respectfully, stretched out his hand to help the person on the bed up: "Your Highness."

The prince, or the man who should become the deposed prince, gave a faint "hmm" and asked, "What time is it?"

"Zishi three quarters." Daoist Wan replied, "Does Your Highness want to take a bath and change clothes?"

"No need, this body is not strong enough." The waste prince waved his hands, noticed Wang Guofu who was hiding in the corner and dared not speak, and asked, "Who is this person?"

"This is a small yellow gate that was originally on duty in His Royal Highness's palace. Later, by chance, it happened to be on duty next to the owner of this body. Now it is the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace."

Wang Guofu came out, knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed to the deposed prince: "Meet Your Highness."

"You are caring, get up." The deposed prince pressed his temple, "Go get some porridge, this body hasn't eaten for a long time."

"Yes." Wang Guofu didn't dare to be negligent, he could be the chief eunuch in the East Palace, of course he would not lack his eyesight.He knew that the derelict prince had returned to life, and there were still many things to discuss secretly with Taoist Wan, so he went to the kitchen himself and supervised the cook to cook a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

Taoist Wan threw a little powder into the smoke cage in the palace, and the originally cold atmosphere in the palace gradually became warmer, with a faint sweet fragrance.

Seeing that the deposed prince's face felt better, he said: "Your Highness, I have secretly contacted several former ministers of His Highness according to His Highness's instructions. Both Zhou Zhi and Li Xinnu are willing to continue to be loyal to His Highness."

"Oh? What about Lin Yuge?" The waste prince slowly turned his wrist and stretched his five fingers, familiarizing himself with this body.

Wan Daoshi replied without moving his eyebrows: "After he heard this, he didn't answer directly, he just said that he needed time to think about it. But the next day I found out that he wanted to send a letter to the palace, so I killed him."

"Well done," the deposed prince turned his shoulders back and forth, "It's a disaster to keep such a person. Then how did Zhou Zhi and Li Xinnu behave when they found out?"

"Zhou Zhi is just a commoner now, and his life is very difficult. He heard that His Highness could come back, so he agreed to me without thinking."

The waste prince shook his neck up and down, left and right, and said slowly: "Zhou Zhi has a bad temper, and he doesn't care about the head and the tail when doing things. Fortunately, he is still loyal to me. If there are any shady things in the future, let him do it."

"Yes." Daoist Wan agreed, and continued, "Li Xinnu is now the general of the Habayashi Army. If it weren't for his background and ability, he should at least be a general now. After he heard about it, he and Lin Like Yuge, he didn't answer me immediately, nor did he stay behind closed doors. All his actions were as usual. After two days, he met me again and said that if he hadn't been supported by His Royal Highness back then, he might have been sent to the court. Feng was crippled, and because of this, Li Xinnu agreed to assist His Highness to become a great treasure."

"As the imperial guards, the Habayashi Army is convenient to be alone." The waste prince lifted the quilt, and with the support of Taoist Wan, he got out of bed.

He paced to the window little by little, looking at the small piece of night, without speaking for a long time.

Wan Daoshi folded his hands in front of him and bowed his head respectfully.

"Hehe, hehehe..." The waste prince laughed in a low voice, his laughter became louder and louder, and soon spread out through the window, spreading across most of the East Palace.

"Good brother, I'm back alone"
