I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 279 Guess
Everyone stared blankly at the mermaid, watching it thump on the ground a few times, then slowly melt, leaving only a pool of water stains on the ground.

"Princess Changle."

"Changle Square"

Gu Yao chanted these two names.

Before that, he had also wondered why the title of princess could be the same as a famous brothel in Chang'an and Luoyang. According to some gossip he had heard before, the royal family also knew Changlefang, and even the emperor would go to Changlefang to have fun.

Using the same name is a kind of slander and contempt for the royal family and Princess Changle, unless it is intentional humiliation, for example, the parents of Princess Changle have offended the emperor, but even if there is such a situation, there is still a "Zongzheng Temple" This institution, in order to preserve the face of the royal family, prevents such behavior.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao was also slightly stunned. He seemed to have never heard of the parents of Princess Changle. You must know that Princess Changle is still famous among the people, and she is still somewhat famous in Taoism. Never a lot, but there is no rumor about his parents.

"Is Zhinu. Princess Changle also from Banyue Lake? Could it be Zhinu made by the royal family?"

Gu Yao couldn't help shivering, and shook his head: "No, I should be too nervous. Changle's second-grade talent was shared by the woman in blue."

"but mermaid"

He turned his head and looked at the other two faceless souls: "Do you want to try again?"

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to take a risk: "Die'er, protect me."

In order to add another layer of insurance, Gu Yao used the method of nine breaths of convincing to connect to Jingyin, releasing a third of the female soul, allowing Jingyin to bear the pure land and restore her sanity.

"Master, I plan to use the Qingming soul method to check their memories. It may be dangerous, and I need you to protect me."

Just as Jing Yin was about to nod her head, Die Er suddenly stood up and held Jie Jian in front of him: "My lord, I just thought of something."

"Huh?" Gu Yao looked at Die Er behind Jie Jian.

Die'er said: "There is a sword spirit space in Jiejian. Although it can't hold the things in the yang world, it can carry the existence of the ghost world. Logically speaking, these souls can be placed in the space of Jiejian."

Gu Yao's eyes lit up: "Ah, Die Er, you are so smart, I actually forgot about this."

As soon as he took the Jiejian, Die'er said again: "Not only that, my lord, Jiejian also has the sword spirit Di Ting, Di Ting this divine beast, which claims to be in the ear of the heaven and the earth, although this sword spirit is not as good as that." Divine power, but if you put these souls into the robbery sword, you may not be able to hear something when you listen to it."

"It's better than you rushing to investigate the soul. In case there are any restrictions or vicious methods in the soul, even if there is a master protecting the law, it may not be able to keep you safe."

Gu Yao looked at Jie Jian, felt the sword spirit in the lower sword, and listened to swimming freely in the endless space, felt Gu Yao's soul, and let out a joyful whining sound.

"You can try it, Die Er, you are really smart."

Gu Yao rubbed Die'er's head, looked at Jingyin: "Master, do you think this method is okay?"

Jing Yin also looked at Die'er in amazement: "I thought I was an idiot, but now it seems that I am very wise and stupid. This method is feasible, at least, it is feasible to carry these souls with your sword."

"it is good."

With a promise, Gu Yao drove the robbery sword, and the sword body glowed with white light. After motivating Di Ting, the sun, moon and stars on the sword body were shining brightly, and black lines were drawn in the white light. The faceless soul entered the space inside the sword.

After the containment, Gu Yao immediately sat cross-legged again, connected to Di Ting, and asked Di Ting to try to hear the origin of these souls.

Di Ting groaned twice, went up to meet him, listened for a moment in front of a faceless soul, and then reported to Gu Yao while listening to the next one.

After listening to everything, Gu Yao opened his eyes and said to Jingyin: "Master, it's no problem, let's release all the souls, I will use the robbery sword to store them, so you can return to normal."

With a promise from Jing Yin, all the souls in the Pure Land were released, a total of 210 and 330 souls, plus the ones stored before, a total of [-] and [-] souls, all of which were placed in Jiejian by Gu Yao.

Just in case, Gu Yao asked Di Ting to listen to them all, in case there was anything out of the ordinary.

But as far as the result is concerned, it is a bit unnecessary.

The memories of these faceless souls are very unified, only sporadic. They were born from a dark place and became a singing and dancing woman. On a man's bed.

But what is very interesting is that these women have no memories of the future, and the front and back are blank. According to the feedback from Truth Listening, the lives of these souls are only half a year to one year.

"No father, no mother, no relationship, no cause, no cause, no effect."

Gu Yao told Di Ting everything he had heard.

"This is not the same as what Yidie said, so she is not Zhinu? Or is she different from these souls? Or, will she become like this after she dies?"

Lu Baihou rubbed his stomach and asked.

No one answered.

Gu Yao was thinking, born in a dark place, where is this dark place?

The news he got from Taoist Jiuqian before was that the ladies of the Six Gods were the inferior versions of Weaver Girls, their bodies and bones were hidden in the ground, and their souls were eaten by gluttons.

If Jiuqian is right, is there such a possibility that that dark place is the belly of Taotie?
Is it just that Taotie spits out what it eats?
Gu Yao told Die'er, Jingyin, and Xiaohu his guess.

All three were at a loss.

"There are so few records and legends about a fierce beast like Taotie, I really don't know about it." Jing Yin shook her head.

Butterfly naturally doesn't know.

The two of them only knew that there was such a one in the ghost world.

As for Xiao Hu, she said that she has been sleeping at the bottom of the water, and has been sleeping with Yu Yourong after she got out of the water. Not to mention gluttonous, she has never seen a living pig that can run.

After thinking about it, there will be no result, Gu Yao pressed the center of his eyebrows with some headaches: "Okay, there are too many mysteries, don't think about it, let's have a good rest today, don't talk about what happened just now, let alone leak it in front of Princess Changle .”

"Also, if the city settles down tomorrow, I'm going to go to the chief, and I'll ask about these things by the way. Keep an eye on Yidie, and don't let her get too close to Princess Changle."

Several people responded.

Gu Yao dispelled the enchantment, came to the tightly closed window, opened the window, and took a few breaths of fresh air under the moonlight.

It's just that the moment the window was opened, two faint green lights swept across in a daze.

Gu Yao looked it over carefully, but found nothing.

Next door is the house where Yi Die lives. Gu Yao's condensed talisman fell on the windows and doors.

Facing the moonlight, Gu Yao circulated nine breaths of breath, exhaled the moonlight, and condensed the golden core. Before he knew it, it was a night.

Early the next morning, when Gu Yao and Die Er arrived at the kitchen and were about to have breakfast, they saw Li Jiuhe who came to deliver the food.

Yesterday, the three of Lu Baihou ate up all the food stored in the mansion, so Li Jiuhe came to deliver the food so early, and after delivering the food, he had to go to Jingye Division to work.

Seeing Gu Yao coming, he smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "My lord, how are you resting?"

There are some heavy dark circles on his face, and his tired expression can't be suppressed. It seems that he didn't sleep much last night, but his eyes are extraordinarily bright, and he looks very energetic.

"Very good, by the way, how is the situation in the city now? Are there still many people blocking me? How about Ying Mudao?" Gu Yao nodded and asked.

"There are still people looking for you, but not many anymore. If you want to go out for a walk, you can do it. As for Mr. Ying Mudao, he entered the Fuyue Xiaoxie yesterday, and came out very angry. Now he is looking for you." People, most of them are his people."

This result was expected by Gu Yao. He looked at Li Jiuhe and remembered that he had said in his self-introduction that he was from the lineage of Princess Changle. Just as he was about to ask about Changle's parents, he heard Changle's voice behind him. the sound of:
"Come to have breakfast?" Chang Le has finished grooming, standing at the gate of the yard, "You can use it in my yard over there, it's quieter and more comfortable."

Gu Yao nodded and turned to leave, but noticed that Li Jiuhe was standing in the kitchen without moving. He understood that he was a servant and was not within Changle's greeting range, so he told Die'er and the others to go first and stay behind. , and waited for them to walk away before saying:
"When are you going to Jing Yesi? Is it convenient to come with me?"

"My lord wants to go out for a walk? That's naturally convenient. My lord, please go to have breakfast, and the officials will wait here." Li Jiuhe bowed and said.

After thinking about it, Gu Yao said directly: "Then go straight, breakfast is just a habit, in fact, it doesn't matter if you eat more or less."

Li Jiuhe nodded with a smile. After unloading all the vegetables, he took Gu Yao into a carriage through the back door and drove by himself. Gu Yao sat in the carriage and drove towards Jing Yesi.

Gu Yao sat at the entrance of the carriage, behind the door curtain: "Master Li, I am curious about something."

"Your Excellency, it's okay to ask, the lower officials know everything, and they can't stop talking."

Gu Yao lifted the curtain slightly, looked at the streets on both sides, and at the same time transmitted the voice: "The Princess Changle has a very famous reputation in Dazhou, and there are many rumors, but there is nothing about her parents, and I have never heard of them. I have heard about the princes of Changle's parents, and I would like to ask Lord Li for advice."

Li Jiuhe smiled slightly: "So it's this. It's normal for adults to be curious. Although this matter is a bit secret, after all, you need to know when you become a family in the future. I'll be an official."

"Stop, stop, stop, you misunderstood, I'm just curious, nothing else." Gu Yao hurriedly stopped.

"It's the lower officials who overstepped." Li Jiuhe apologized, although he didn't sound sorry, and then said: "It's like this, my lord, the parents of the princess were the kings of Chu who were entrusted in the Chu region back then, but before the princess was born , There was a severe drought in Chu, and the prince of Chu failed to cure the drought, causing millions of people to be displaced, so he was stripped of the throne and recalled to the capital."

"My lord, you should be able to guess what happened next."

Gu Yao lowered the door curtain and leaned against the carriage.

The emperors of all dynasties felt uncomfortable looking at the brothers who were enfeoffed, and they would always try their best to clean up, especially those princes who were entrusted in wealthy places.

If you are called back to the capital, if you are lucky, you will spend your whole life at ease. If you are almost lucky, you will die of illness. If you are almost lucky, you will be charged with a crime and die on the road to exile.

But judging from Changle's attitude towards the emperor, it is quite intimate, there is a high probability that he lived at ease for a long time, and then died of illness.

But it could also be brotherhood.

Li Jiuhe heard that there was no movement behind him, pondered for a while, and took the initiative to say: "Although the princess is living happily, she is actually very poor. When she was born, Prince Chu had been dead for a year, so she Never met my father."

The sound is very low.

Gu Yao sat up straight.

Li Jiuhe continued: "Concubine Chu also died when she was three years old. After that, she was approached by His Majesty in the palace. Although she is the princess, she is more favored than the princess. So, do you understand, my lord?"

Sensing that there was no movement behind him, Li Jiuhe frowned slightly, turned his eyes and continued: "Over the past generations, the most talented women in the royal family have basically been princesses, and only this generation is Princess Changle."

There was still no movement, Li Jiuhe sighed inwardly, Mr. Gu still doesn't understand what I mean, right? I've hinted in place.

Feeling that Gu Yao didn't intend to speak and communicate behind him, he stopped talking and concentrated on driving the carriage to Jing Yesi.

And Gu Yao in the carriage was also thinking.

If it hadn't happened yesterday, he would definitely agree with Li Jiuhe's statement that Changle's biological father should actually be the emperor.

But now, he thinks it is more likely that Changle was created by the royal family. The perfect Weaver Girl, who is exactly the same as a human being, was created and put under the name of the King of Chu out of various considerations. pot.

The legend of Zhinu has been passed down in Chang'an for a hundred years, and the royal family cannot be indifferent.

In the previous rumors, the emperor and Jing Yesi were unhappy, and would lose their temper and go to Changle Square to have fun. Could this behavior also be exploring the secret of Weaver Girl?
He was absorbed in thinking.

Just as he was about to reach Jing Yesi, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Li Jiuhe yelled angrily from outside: "Are you dying? Standing in front of the carriage like this."

"My master invites Gu Yao, Daoist Gu, to go to Ying's mansion to have a talk." A somewhat hoarse voice came.

Gu Yao raised the curtain, and a gray-haired old man stood in front of the carriage.

Li Jiuhe still wanted to deny it, but Gu Yao felt that the gray-haired old man was not weak, so he reached out and patted Li Jiuhe's shoulder, showing his face, "I have something to see the chief, if there is anything, I'll talk about it later."

The gray-haired old man's eyes were like eagles, staring straight at Gu Yao, what else to say, Gu Yao showed the sign given by the chief: "Why? The chief is not as good as your master? Then let him come to be the chief Fuyue Xiaoxie."

Seeing that the gray-haired old man was not moving, he scolded, "Get out of the way!"

The gray-haired old man turned his eyes on Gu Yao's face a few times, and said grimly: "Master Gu, you can't hide from hiding, the trouble you caused is bigger than you think, it's better to go see my master earlier, Free. Hehe."

With a threatening sound, he stepped out of the way.

Gu Yao ignored him, motioned for Li Jiuhe to drive, and sat back down again.

The carriage continued on.

"It seems that I haven't been able to hide the fact that I hid in the Changle Mansion, but they didn't provoke it."

While Gu Yao was thinking, the carriage stopped again.

"My lord, Jing Yesi has arrived."

Li Jiuhe raised the curtain, bowed and said.
