Li Shanchang took off his jade pendant and went to bed to verify what Gu Cheng said.
Gu Cheng, on the other hand, went back to study the nature of the matter with Yan Beigong.
In fact, there are still many aspects of this matter that Gu Cheng has not yet figured out, such as what the jade pendant was judged to be a mysterious object, but which did not pose a direct danger to Li Shanchang.
Even now, Gu Cheng is not sure whether there is something wrong with Chen Xiaolian or if she is just an innocent victim.
After returning to the guest room, Yan Beigong sighed and said: "Brother Gu, your move is really good, you finally found out the reason.
But I can’t figure it out, why would Chen Xiaolian want to harm Li Shanchang? She’s already so favored, what else does she want?”
Gu Cheng shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be harmful. If there is something that can really threaten Li Shanchang's life or vitality, then the jade pendant will not give an early warning, but will directly kill it.
As for what she wants, if she really has a problem, then she wants a lot of things. People's greed is endless. If you have one penny, you will want ten pennies. When you are fed and warm, you will want to have sex. The outer door
The women at home are always more fragrant than the ones at home."
Yan Beigong sighed and said: "Yes, Buddhism always says that only by eradicating the three thoughts of greed, anger and ignorance can we achieve positive results, but how many people in the world can completely get rid of these three thoughts? I am also plagued by anger.
Sometimes I still can’t control myself.”
Although Yan Beigong was called a Red Hero, he himself never admitted that he was a Red Hero.
What he did in Nanjiu County was more of a whim, but sometimes it was inevitable that his mind would be occupied by anger and he would do many irrational things.
Gu Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "If it's greed, then let's make a hypothesis. What does she want? Li Shanchang's first wife is dead, and she almost has a concubine to spoil. What else does she want?
"
Yan Beigong also closed his eyes and began to think. After a moment, he and Gu Cheng opened their eyes almost at the same time and said: "Heir!"
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility.
Li Shanchang had no heirs.
Regardless of whether it is because he is incompetent or because he has injured his body due to excessive sexual intercourse, he still has no children at his age and will not be able to have one in the future.
Now Chen Xiaolian is Li Shanchang's most favored concubine, but what happens after Li Shanchang dies? She will have nothing. Although Li Shanchang has several concubines who are not favored, they have backgrounds. Yongling
She couldn't get anything from the palace.
And there is no need to wait for Li Shanchang to die. Just look at his current appearance and you will know that if a woman more beautiful than Chen Xiaolian enters the palace, she will be left out in the cold in a short time.
Therefore, only by giving birth to an heir and gaining a status can she keep everything she has now.
Gu Cheng touched his chin and said, "But this reasoning is a bit wrong. If Chen Xiaolian wanted to have a child, how did she do all this?
Li Shanchang, the Prince of Yongling, was unusual. He seemed to be an idle prince, but in fact he was the one who was valued among the royal relatives of Daqian.
Even if Chen Xiaolian really gave birth to a child in some way, wouldn't she be afraid of Daqian coming here to investigate?"
For the royal relatives of Daqian, such a thing as being a father almost does not exist. The Taixuan Dao Sect has many secret methods to verify this problem.
Yan Beigong thought for a while and said: "There are countless strange beings in this world, and some of them may not be able to tell whether they are true or false even if they are from the Taixuan Taoist Sect.
Brother Gu, have you ever heard of someone with evil intentions?"
Gu Cheng was stunned: "This word?"
Yan Beigong shook his head and said: "It's not a word, but a thing that has been circulated in Nanjiu County.
It is said that in the land of Nanjiu County, there once was a young talent from a small village. He became a military general in his early twenties. People in the village were proud of him and even married off the most beautiful girl in the village.
Give him as his wife.
But the girl had a sister she grew up with who also admired the young general. She was jealous that the girl could marry a promising general, while she could only marry a pig butcher and be a village woman for the rest of her life.
The woman secretly cursed her sister every day for not having sex with her man, but every night she dreamed of having sex with the young general.
The thoughts in her heart must have echoes, but sometimes these echoes are not a good thing. She did not know what kind of demons and monsters were attracted by her actions, which actually caused her to secretly conceive a child, and she was left with a child who looked exactly like that young man.
The generals are very similar.
So she took her child and called everyone in the village to confront the young man, saying that he had a relationship with her after being drunk a year ago, and now that she had given birth to a child, she wanted to use the child to force her to have an abortion.
The wife marries herself.
Who knew that the young general had a strong temper, he drew his sword and killed himself to prove his innocence, and his wife also died for her love."
Hearing this story, Gu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head. The world always forces good people to die.
If the young general is of a romantic nature, I am afraid he would like to marry two people. If he is a domineering person, no matter what his reputation, just ignore him.
But he just took his integrity too far. Is it worth risking his own life to prove his innocence? Maybe it is worth it in the eyes of some people.
"What happened next?"
Yan Beigong sneered: "If you have evil intentions, you will not be rewarded.
The woman forced a couple to death, but her husband divorced her because she was embarrassed, leaving her to raise the child alone.
The child was not a normal person born from the union of male and female. He had only Yin energy but no Yang fire. He had a dark and weird personality and caused a lot of troubles. The woman beat and scolded him severely.
Finally, when the child came of age, the woman disappeared for more than ten days. Someone passed by her house and discovered that the woman had been dead for nearly a month, and the child was missing.
Later, some people said that the child was neither a human nor a ghost. He had killed his relatives mercilessly and would definitely grow into a disaster in the future. They asked an enlightened monk to get rid of him. However, no one knows what happened next. The village had long been destroyed.
In the flames of war.”
Gu Cheng touched his chin and said, "Brother Yan, do you mean that what Chen Xiaolian is using now is the ulterior motives in your story?"
Yan Beigong nodded and said: "There is a possibility. If she only wants to have children, she will not cause any substantial harm to Li Shanchang, so naturally the jade pendant will not protect the master and kill him.
But even if this method does not rely on ghosts, it is definitely some kind of shady left-handed secret technique. It is an attribute of evil, and what is born may not be something. It is definitely not a good thing anyway, so the jade pendant is spiritual.
Warning."
Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Since that's the case, it's easy to handle. No matter what method she used, let's first find out whether she is really innocent or has ulterior motives."
"What method should be used?" Yan Beigong asked.
"Nightmare, that thing is quite useful. Of course, the premise is to see which King Yongling is willing to part with it."
Gu Cheng's Nightmare Ghost was destroyed in the hands of Yu Pendant, but it didn't matter. There were many such things in the Yinming Land under Yinhuo City. He just asked Xiao Yi to catch one more.
On the second day, before Gu Cheng went to see Li Shanchang, Li Shanchang came to see Gu Cheng.
"Master Gu! No more! That dream is finally gone!"
Li Shanchang could be said to be very excited at this time.
Before, he would dream almost every day as long as he was in the palace, but now that he took off the jade pendant, the dream disappeared. He could finally enjoy sleeping without a cuckold. How could this make him not excited?
Gu Cheng said calmly: "My lord, please don't worry. I've said before that the jade pendant is just a warning. It's actually for your own good, lord. The plan for now is to find out the source."
Li Shanchang hesitated and said, "Master Gu, is my concubine really trying to harm me?"
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, maybe she is also a victim.
Moreover, it cannot be said to be harmful. If it is blatantly using evil magic to harm someone, the jade pendant will be activated directly.
I have a way to test that person, but it may frighten and offend him to a certain extent. It depends on what you think, Your Majesty. Anyway, I have found out the source of the problem for you, Your Majesty."
Li Shanchang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's all up to you, Mr. Gu!"
Although Li Shanchang loved Chen Xiaolian, he was severely tortured by this incident.
In addition, at this time, Gu Cheng had solved the problem he had been having for several months. Li Shanchang also had great trust in Gu Cheng and was ready to do what he said.
Gu Cheng nodded and said: "Since this is the case, please, Your Majesty, secretly dismantle all the formations around Chen Xiaolian's house. I will arrange for the nightmare to enter the dream. Your Majesty, you can also watch from the side.
."
Li Shanchang nodded and immediately went to arrange everything.
After nightfall, Gu Cheng, Li Shanchang and others, Taoist Qingsong and Ma Shixiao also took the initiative to squeeze in.
After Gu Cheng solved the matter by using ghosts to overcome ghosts, Li Shanchang's attitude towards him changed drastically, and it could be said that he had increased trust in him.
In the past, the prince would definitely come to them for this kind of thing, but this time the prince went to Gu Cheng first, which made both Taoist Qingsong and Ma Shixiao feel a sense of crisis. They felt that they were at risk of 'falling out of favor'.
So they came here this time to see if Gu Cheng could really solve the problem and how they could restore their image in front of the prince.
"Your Majesty, are you ready?"
Li Shanchang nodded vigorously: "Master Gu, you can take action now."
Gu Cheng controlled the nightmare ghost to enter the room outside Chen Xiaolian's door. At the same time, he released the inner ghost and sprayed out clouds of blood mist. What was reflected in it was everything in the nightmare ghost's perspective.
Chen Xiaolian's dream was very peaceful, even very big. The nightmare ghost searched for a long time but could not find her body in the dream.
It was not until the end that the nightmare discovered Chen Xiaolian in a pink mist, but the strange thing was that she was actually worshiping gods.
