Three hundred and fortieth chapters ghosts beat ghosts
Chen Xiaolian looked pitiful and came over with pear blossoms in the rain. She looked like she was about to cry and sobbed softly: "My lord, you have to believe in the slave family. The slave family has really not done anything sorry to you."
Li Shanchang quickly held her in his arms and comforted her: "Of course I know, I have investigated so many times before, can I still not believe you?
There must be something evil causing trouble in the palace, this time I have called for a young hero from Jingyesi headquarters, I believe this matter can be solved."
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "May I ask, madam, have you encountered anything strange during this time?"
Chen Xiaolian blinked and shook his head: "No, everything is quite normal."
"Have you ever left the palace and gone to other places?"
"I have left, but the slave family stays in the palace most of the time. I only go out to relax occasionally. I am also accompanied by many servants of the palace."
Li Shanchang said: "Mr. Gu, you don't have to worry. Every time Xiao Lian goes out, I send a lot of people. They are all my confidants. They have never left their sight. I have asked about these in advance."
Gu Cheng and Yan Beigong looked at each other, and the two of them used various methods to check Chen Xiaolian's body, but they couldn't find anything.
After the examination was over, Chen Xiaolian suddenly threw herself into Li Shanchang's arms and started crying.
"Your Majesty, when a person comes, he has to inspect the slave's house. The slave's house will be treated like that watery person. If you come again like this a few times, where will you put the slave's face?"
Li Shanchang quickly coaxed: "For the last time, I promise this will be the last time, okay?"
After much coaxing, Chen Xiaolian was finally coaxed. Li Shanchang asked Gu Cheng and Yan Beigong, "Don't you two find anything more?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "Not yet, I need to go back and think about it with Brother Yan."
Li Shanchang nodded slightly disappointedly when he heard this.
Taoist Qingsong and the others had previously investigated this matter but found no results. People from Jingyesi in Jiangnan County had also checked but still found no results.
Now that Gu Cheng, who had high hopes from him, came to do the same, Li Shanchang still felt a little disappointed.
If even Gu Cheng couldn't do anything, he could only consider going to the capital to ask the emperor for help and ask the experts from the Taixuan Taoist Sect to come.
But Li Shanchang didn't want to do this unless it was absolutely necessary.
After all, he is also the uncle of the current emperor. To be honest, he still wants to lose face when he begs the emperor for something like this.
Moreover, he understands the character of the current emperor very well, even better than his queen, concubines, and his son.
You can happily accept what someone gives you, but if you take the initiative to ask for it, you may not know what the outcome will be.
So for so many years, no matter what the emperor gave him, he accepted it gratefully, but he never took the initiative to take care of what the capital wanted.
Not only because he knows how to advance and retreat, but also because he knows what kind of person that person is.
Ma Shixiao and Taoist Qingsong on the side looked at each other, with a hint of sneer and sarcasm on their lips.
I pretended to be so professional just now, but wasn’t it just as fruitless?
But this time they didn't dare to continue to openly mock Gu Cheng, after all, the lesson was right in front of them.
Li Shanchang called an old housekeeper to arrange guest rooms for Gu Cheng and Yanbeigong. On the way, Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked with some confusion: "Why are there all female relatives in this palace? Why don't I see the prince's heirs?"
?”
The old housekeeper was told by Li Shanchang that there was no need to hide things in the palace from Gu Cheng. After hearing this, he said honestly: "The prince has no heirs yet."
Gu Cheng was suddenly stunned: "Your Majesty is so old and he still has no heirs?"
The old housekeeper opened his mouth, but it was difficult for him to answer such a question.
Gu Cheng didn't continue to ask, he probably understood.
When Li Shanchang was young, he probably had no heirs because he didn't want to, but now, he probably can't.
Taoist Qingsong's aphrodisiac is not so magical either.
After returning to the guest room, Gu Cheng said to Yan Beigong: "Brother Yan, what do you think about this matter? You have more experience than me when it comes to this matter."
Yan Beigong shook his head and said: "I have never encountered such a bizarre thing. With the strength of you and me, even a ghost comparable to a master should not be able to hide it from us, but in the end there is no clue.
And in other words, if there is something evil beyond our imagination that is causing trouble, do you think it would do such boring things?
So in my opinion, there is only one possibility."
"What?"
"Li Shanchang lies again!"
Yan Beigong said solemnly: "Those dreams were all told by him alone. No one has seen them. Who can prove that this kind of thing is true?"
Gu Cheng frowned and said: "But what's the motive? What's the reason? He's an idle prince who is not busy eating, drinking and having fun but instead torments us. Is he out of his mind?"
Yan Beigong said: "It is possible to have a broken brain. When I was in Nanjiu County, I saw someone whose spirit was stimulated by demons, so everyone who saw them said they saw ghosts. His concubine was so beautiful and charming. He
It is also possible to suspect that my concubine is stealing someone all day long.
So he should not come to us, he should go to a doctor."
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "That's not right. You have seen the pomp of King Yongling. There are many top doctors in the palace, and two of them are imperial doctors. They also found no problem.
In fact, in my opinion, there is no problem with Li Shanchang himself, and there is no problem with the palace. Both of them are protected by various means, and the one who is most likely to have problems is Chen Xiaolian.
When we examined her, she looked a little unnatural and a little resistant.
The last words she said about being coquettish about Li Shanchang made it clear that she didn’t want Li Shanchang to continue to investigate her.”
Gu Cheng was used to observing words and expressions, but Yan Beigong didn't notice these things.
Hearing this, he touched his chin and said, "Really? It seems that this woman still has some motives, but if it were other people who encountered this kind of thing, I'm afraid they would resist it."
Gu Cheng's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation and said: "There must be some scheming. Li Shanchang's concubine has three hundred or three hundred concubines, including those who have no status. How can she be so favored in front of Li Shanchang?
I'm afraid it's not just about my appearance.
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, she is actually the most suspicious. To be precise, apart from Li Shanchang, the sufferer, she is the only person involved. Of course, we must focus on investigating.
But these things will be postponed to the future. King Yongling invited us here. If we don’t come up with something real, wouldn’t it be a joke?
So I'm going to do something different tomorrow."
"Something different? What do you mean?"
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Before, whether it was Taoist Qingsong or the others, or Jingyesi of Jiangnan County, they had all used conventional methods.
You and I are both from Jingyesi, so naturally we know Jingyesi’s tricks.
Since we can't detect those evil spirits and ghosts, it's better to do the opposite and use ghosts to defeat ghosts. Just because we can't detect them doesn't mean that some ghosts and ghosts can't be detected."
Gu Cheng's words may sound a bit treacherous to some righteous practitioners, but to Yan Beigong, they are nothing.
The land of Nanjiu County is full of fish and dragons, and those who practice ghosts and sorcery may not necessarily be without good people.
In some villages close to the southern barbarian land, some people take the initiative to practice the evil method of refining ghosts, not for themselves, but to protect their villages in that war-torn place where demons and ghosts are rampant.
Therefore, Gu Cheng's suggestion is still very reliable in Yan Beigong's view. Sometimes it is also a good idea to find another way.
Of course, Yan Beigong didn't ask Gu Cheng when he practiced the secret art of controlling ghosts. Anyway, he felt that Gu Cheng had grown and changed very quickly since the two separated in Nanjiu County.
You can come up with some unexpected things.
After nightfall, Gu Cheng entered the black jade space and called Xiao Yi, Wu Zang Taoist and others.
"Brother Gu, have you improved your cultivation again?"
Xiao Yi looked at Gu Cheng in front of him with some surprise.
The last time he saw Gu Cheng was in the capital, but this time he saw Gu Cheng, he could clearly feel that Gu Cheng's aura had changed dramatically.
In the past, no matter how strong Gu Cheng was, he was only a sixth-grade master, but now Gu Cheng has a tendency to develop into a fifth-grade master.
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "I met a good elder who gave me some guidance on how to practice."
Taoist Wu Zang quickly complimented from the side: "That guy should be glad that he is qualified to give advice to the master. Maybe after a few decades, he will still be proud of this matter."
Qin Jian was much simpler and more direct. He said in a deep voice: "My lord, who should we kill this time?"
Gu Cheng touched his head. Except for Xiao Yi, none of these two guys were normal.
"Don't always kill me. This time I'm not here to kill you, but I want you to find something."
Have you controlled all the Yinming lands around Yinhuo City now?"
Xiao Yi said: "That's almost it. As soon as Xu Xiao died, the ghosts in the underworld around him started killing each other.
We took this opportunity to take action, and although we did not reach the level of unifying the netherworld, we still controlled 80% of it."
Gu Cheng nodded and said, "That's good. You can help me find a ghost that can help me dream."
"Dream?"
Taoist Wu Zang asked in confusion: "Is it something like a nightmare?"
Nightmares are the lowest level of ghosts. Strictly speaking, they can only be regarded as level nine ghosts. They do not have any lethality in themselves. They can only create some low-level dreams such as ghosts on the bed. Normally, people with stronger yang energy cannot get close to them.
.
Although there are legends that under certain conditions, nightmares can turn into incubus and kill people invisibly in their sleep, but such existences are only a minority and have almost become legends.
Why are you looking for something like this? You are lonely late at night and can't sleep peacefully, so you want to create some dream hypnosis?
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "It's almost the same, but we need to find a being stronger than the nightmare, otherwise the slightest bit of power will be completely destroyed."
