The scene in the video was interrupted as the Taoist priest spurted blood. It was obvious that the inner ghost had been swallowed up by Gu Cheng at that time.
Looking at the dark space around him, Gu Cheng no longer knew what to say.
This is a really bad start for me.
The Zhang family was obviously eager to kill herself immediately. To be more precise, 'Gu Cheng' had already died once in this life.
Now as he traveled through time, 'Gu Cheng' came to life again. With Zhang's character, how could he just give up?
Moreover, this world is extremely weird. The Taoist priest practices evil methods and uses the temple of the five internal organs to raise ghosts, killing people without being visible.
It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Hidden arrows are so dangerous. How should you deal with this kind of ghost? Next time, bite it yourself or feed it with child urine?
Before Gu Cheng could think about it carefully, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind. It was as if his energy had been drained out. He was kicked out of the dark space. His vision went dark and he completely lost consciousness.
When Gu Cheng opened his eyes again, a circle of noisy people had gathered around him.
Seeing Gu Cheng wake up, an old lady with white hair immediately hugged Gu Cheng in her arms, wiped her tears and shouted: "My grandson! If something happens to you, how will I live?"
Yo!"
In his previous life, Gu Cheng was already an adult and was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of intimacy from his elders.
He sat up, gently pulled away Mrs. Gu's hand, and said softly: "Grandma, I'm fine."
Mrs. Zhang also stood aside, looking at Gu Cheng with a look of surprise in her eyes. She didn't know how Gu Cheng survived.
But seeing how much Mrs. Gu valued Gu Cheng, she couldn't help but said: "Old Mrs., the person is not dead yet, why are you crying?"
When Mrs. Gu heard this, her face immediately dropped: "What do you mean? Are you happy only if Cheng'er dies?"
Mrs. Zhang did not dare to contradict Mrs. Gu, so she could only say aggrievedly: "What are you talking about? I'm worried that you are old and may cry out."
Mrs. Gu snorted coldly: "I am in good health. As long as my eldest grandson is fine, I will be fine."
Just as he was talking, another person walked in from outside. Seeing him coming, all the servants surrounding him dispersed.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a hawk-like nose and round eyes, and a somewhat cold face, which made him difficult to get along with.
He wore a close-fitting black black armor and carried a long sword with him, but the scabbard was made of willow branches.
What's even more strange is that the patterns engraved on the black armor on his body are actually Tingting.
In Gu Cheng's memory, Daqian had a tradition of engraving various exotic beasts on their armor. The royal family inscribed dragons and phoenixes, and the Imperial Guards Longxiang Guards also inscribed suanni, gluttonous animals, etc. Other common ones included tigers, leopards, lions, and bears.
But Gu Cheng searched through his memories and found that Wendi really didn't listen.
Seeing the middle-aged man coming, Mrs. Gu quickly said: "Master Tie Tianying, have you ever found out why my grandson suddenly fainted, with blood stains on his body despite no injuries?"
Tie Tianying glanced around, and Mrs. Gu immediately said: "Everyone, get out."
Except for Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Zhang and a housekeeper who had stayed in Gu's house all his life, everyone else in the house was kicked out.
Tie Tianying asked Gu Cheng: "Mr. Gu, did you see anything yesterday and how did you feel?"
Mrs. Gu said to Gu Cheng: "This is Lord Tie Tianying of Jingyesi. Please cooperate with me and we can't let anything happen again."
Gu Cheng glanced at Mrs. Zhang. Although Mrs. Zhang was nervous and frightened, she was not too panicked.
Touching his chest, Gu Cheng said: "Yesterday, I only felt a sharp pain in my chest, and then I started to struggle. Finally, I fainted and didn't know anything after that."
Gu Cheng didn't mention Zhang's matter, because it would be useless if he did.
Since Mrs. Zhang still dares to stand here and is not panicking, it proves that she has taken care of everything and cannot be found.
Gu Cheng then remembered that the Taoist priest in the video yesterday also mentioned Jingyesi. Since he knew about Jingyesi's existence, he should have taken precautions.
The most important thing is that Gu Cheng himself is not clean.
The previous Gu Cheng was dead. He traveled through time and should be a resurrected person.
Moreover, there is the black jade pendant, and the inner ghost in the jade pendant space, which looks weird no matter what.
This is not a world that can be viewed with common sense. If he tells everything in the image, then the first doubt is, how do you know so clearly that what others are doing is harmful to you?
If the other party investigates carefully, will his time travel and his black jade pendant ultimately treat him as a possessed ghost to slay demons?
These are all unpredictable things, and Gu Cheng has to guard against them.
Tie Tianying nodded and said: "If that's the case, that's right. Mr. Gu must have encountered an evil ghost. There is a faint yin energy left on his body and in his room.
But for some reason, maybe it was luck, maybe it was something else, the ghost didn't hurt Mr. Gu, it just exhausted his mental energy and he fainted."
Mrs. Gu took a deep breath, clasped her hands and bowed: "Thank God, ancestors for your blessing, everything will be fine."
Tie Tianying suddenly said: "Old lady, it's just okay for now. I can't guarantee whether things will happen in the future."
"Why?"
Tie Tianying said calmly: "Confronting a ghost can happen only once or countless times.
If you bump into a ghost, your body will be contaminated with yin energy, and you will easily encounter those dirty things in the future.
Not every time you encounter a ghost, someone will die. Mr. Gu was lucky this time.
But what about once, twice, three times, four times, eight times or ten times? Do you think you will die or not?"
Mrs. Gu was a little panicked and said, "What should we do?"
Tie Tianying spread his hands and said: "Three ways, one is to let it go and always go to crowded places to avoid being haunted by ghosts. If you don't encounter these evil ghosts again for a period of time, the Yin Qi will gradually dissipate.
Of course, this all depends on luck. If you encounter a ghost during this period, the yin energy will become heavier.
The second is to find an eminent monk or Taoist priest with true Taoism to purify the yin energy for Mr. Gu.
Of course, I am talking about the truly spiritual practitioners, not the monks and Taoists who only accept money for incense and peace certificates.
But for such a person, old lady, please don’t blame me for speaking harshly. With the current family background of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, such an expert cannot be invited."
Mrs. Gu asked: "Are there any such talented people in Jingyesi? I have heard that there are many practitioners in Jingyesi. There should be Taoist monks as well, right?"
Tie Tianying said: "There are indeed many people who practice Taoism, but to be honest, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion cannot invite such people.
Even if I am here, it is because of the face of the old Marquis.
Otherwise, according to normal procedures, Jingyesi in the capital would be in charge of strange things involving murders. Mr. Gu's life was not in danger, so Jingyesi would not send anyone here at all.
If I hadn't been rescued by the old Marquis, I might have died on the battlefield long ago, let alone joining Jingyesi later.
But I'm just a martial artist. I can kill people and kill ghosts, but I'm not good at saving people.
I'm just an ordinary Xuanjia guard in the Jingyesi Division in the capital, and I don't have access to anyone higher up. I really can't do anything about this."
At this time, Gu Cheng asked: "What about the last method?"
Tie Tianying said solemnly: "The first two methods rely on luck, and the last method relies on yourself.
You are the son of a noble prince and have a clean background. There is no need for selection, so I can recommend you to join Jingyesi."
"Is it safe to join Yasushi?"
Tie Tianying shook his head and said: "It's not safe either. Do you know where Jingyesi is?"
Before Gu Cheng could ask again, Tie Tianying said with a slightly proud tone: "Jingyesi is the most important part of the Daqian Dynasty.
Five hundred years ago, ten countries competed for hegemony, and war broke out, resulting in countless killings, rampant ghosts, and lawlessness among evil monks.
At that time, in some places, the streets were noisy during the day, and hundreds of ghosts were walking around at night. There were more ghosts than people.
Emperor Gaozu then ordered the recruitment of talented people and strangers, founded the Jingyesi, and quelled the demons, evil cultivators and those practitioners who violated laws and disciplines.
So Jingyesi spends his whole day either dealing with demons or cultivators who are cruel and ruthless, do you think this will be safe?"
"Then why should I join Yasushi?"
Tie Tianying stared at Gu Cheng: "Because Jingyesi can teach you how to practice and give you the strength to fight against those evil spirits.
The world is in chaos and ghosts are rampant. No one can really protect you except yourself.
Whether you can survive or not does not depend on Jingyesi, but on yourself."
When Mrs. Gu heard what Tie Tianying said, she quickly shook her head: "No, this can't be done!
Cheng'er can't go to such a dangerous place. After he reaches the crown, I will send him to join the army with his second uncle.
The rebellion in Western Xinjiang has been subsided. Cheng'er can go to Jingyesi to deal with monsters and ghosts as long as he has military qualifications.
Cheng'er, don't worry, even if grandma takes away all the property in the Hou Mansion, she still has to find an expert to help you purify the yin energy in your body!"
Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Mrs. Zhang suddenly became anxious.
It cost her five thousand taels to hire an evil monk to kill people. How much money would it cost for Mrs. Gu to hire an expert to exorcise evil spirits? Those are all hers!
After Gu Cheng thought for a while, he suddenly said: "I am willing to join Jingyesi!"
