I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 286 Assimilation
Over there, the master and servant of the King of Wu responded to Mudao with his tongue-in-cheek kung fu, and his heart was calm. Here, Gu Yao is also very lucky, and he received the imperial edict in Jingyesi smoothly. Since then, Chang'an has had his one-acre three-point land.

Although there is no one under his command, he is a genuine second-rank official. Looking at the big Zhou, there are only a few people who are above him, and there are less than five fingers above him. In addition to the palace, in the future, Wherever you go, you can walk with your head up and your eyes closed, and you have to give way to anyone who sees it.

After stuffing the reward silver for the so-called angel, Gu Yao closed the imperial decree amidst the congratulations, and with a respectful surface, he got out of the gate of Jing Yesi and got into the carriage before throwing it away.

"It's really troublesome. With just such a piece of paper, the eunuch had to recite for two sticks of incense."

Li Jiuhe climbed into the carriage and held the reins. Hearing what Gu Yao said behind him, he yelled and oozes out. He hurriedly turned around and said in a low voice, "Master Gu, be careful, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately. Don't talk nonsense, there are countless gods and ghosts in Chang'an City, if it accidentally spreads to someone who cares, it will be a big trouble."

Gu Yao nodded with a smile: "I was negligent, I will pay attention to it in the future, go home now."

"okay."

The carriage started to move, Gu Yao raised the curtain of the window, and asked via voice transmission: "By the way, how is Princess Changle doing now? Have you heard any news?"

After coming over for a while, Li Jiuhe said with some uncertainty: "I have heard the news, and there is more than one. I heard it just now, but there is still a big difference."

"Big difference?"

"One was told to me by a friend in the palace, saying that the princess has recovered and is now recuperating at the mansion, but there is also a eunuch I know well who just came to convey the imperial decree. I took the time to ask, but he said that the princess Seriously ill, the sage ordered a palace to be cleared out for the princess to recuperate, and no one was allowed to enter."

Hearing this, Gu Yao was also a little surprised: "Isn't the difference too big? Could it be that the eunuch who passed the decree came out early, and I don't know if the princess recovered later?"

"Hopefully."

Both of them fell silent, and returned to Princess Changle's private house peacefully all the way.

Li Jiu and the carriage stopped at the back door, opened the back door for Gu Yao, and said, "My lord, I won't go in. I'll wait here at Mao tomorrow morning. If you have other things that you need to order, let the maid in the house inform you." Officers can too."

Gu Yao responded, bid farewell to him, and then entered the house and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.

Along the way, I didn't meet any maids and servants, it was quiet and desolate.

It wasn't until he got close to the residence that he heard Lu Baihou's meowing.

I went in and saw that Lu Baihou was painted as a spotted cat, meowing on the ground with a displeased expression on his face. Yidie and Xiaohu each held a brush and squatted aside to count its meowing.

"What are you doing?"

he asked aloud.

Xiao Hu turned a deaf ear, still staring at Lu Baihou.

On the contrary, Yidie stood up and saluted and replied: "Master Gu, we are playing a game, Mr. Lu lost very badly."

"play games?"

Gu Yao frowned, looked at the flower paper on the table behind them, walked over and grabbed a handful, and looked at it, all kinds of small animals.

Yidie came to Gu Yao's side and explained: "It's just to guess the characters. There are many animals on it, and here," she picked up a handful again, and turned it to Gu Yao: "Here are all the names of the stars in the sky. Let's guess together."

"Actually, this is a game played in our village in the past. It was really boring today, so I took it out and played it. I didn't expect Miss Xiaohu and Mr. Lu to like it."

Gu Yao nodded and put down the floral paper: "Why are you called Mr. Lu Baihou Lu?"

Yidie smiled softly, her eyes soft and shining: "Mr. Lu taught me a lot of things today, and even taught me how to read. It's very appropriate to call him Mr."

"Indeed, by the way, you are also taught to read in your village? There are quite few women who read books, and your village is isolated from the rest of the world. It's strange that you can still read and write."

"Actually, it's not teaching. The old people in the village will tell us stories. When they are happy, they will pick up branches and write on the ground. Later, after reading too much, they will go to those books and read, and they will gradually learn to write."

Gu Yao exchanged a few words with her again, and after finding out that Die Er and Jing Yin Shitai were in the room, he asked them to continue to smear Lu Baihou and walked into the room.

Jing Yin was meditating in the room, and Die Er was rubbing Xi Yan, protecting Jing Yin while staring at Yi Die outside.

"How is the teacher? How is the recovery of mana?" Gu Yao's movement of coming in could not be hidden from Jing Yin. He had just entered the room when Jing Yin opened his eyes.

"It's recovered pretty well. It's estimated to have eight layers of skills. It's a surprise that those strange women's resentful souls that carried those strange women before have caused wear and tear on the pure land." Jing Yin showed a bitter look on her face. In the end, something happened to the Pure Land, as if the heavens did not grant her enlightenment.

Frustrated for a while, she got up and looked at Gu Yao: "You went to the chief to inquire about information, what's the result?"

Gu Yao considered the sentence: "The chief said that my guess was probably right, and he didn't say anything else."

"However, I bumped into King Wu by accident, and got a little trick out of him. What is certain is that the royal family is also looking for it, but King Wu doesn't seem to know the relationship between Princess Changle and Banyue Lake."

"In addition, I found a map to Banyue Lake by accident." Gu Yao lowered his voice, glanced at Yidie outside and said.

"Map?" Jing Yin came to the spirit, "Can you go?"

Gu Yao nodded and shook his head again: "I'm not sure if the road will pass or not. I was brought here before, and I took the tunnel, and the tunnel should be part of the route."

"It's okay, just try it and you'll know. If it doesn't work, let's fly from the sky according to the map. By the way, where is the map?"

"I haven't brought it yet, I'll get it at night."

"By the way, is there any problem with Yidie? For example, a sudden improvement or deterioration in spirit?"

Jing Yin shook his head blankly: "I've been here"

Die'er interrupted: "I have been staring at her, there is no problem, she behaves normally, and the whole process is under my eyes."

"Is that so?"

Gu Yao told about Princess Changle's fainting.

"Do you faint every month?"

"Looking at it this way, the princess's secret."

The three of them were still discussing, when a servant girl's voice suddenly came from outside: "The princess is here."

Changle is here?Why such a big fight?

The three looked at each other and hurried out, only to see eight maidservants holding signs or lanterns, a nun walking in the middle, followed by Changle.

"This is not Changle!"

The moment Gu Yao saw the woman, he sent a voice transmission: "No, she is not the Changle we know, but another Changle."

It was the shadow Changle who had been pretending to be a female officer before. She changed into Changle's attendant and put on her makeup. Gu Yao couldn't tell the difference. She didn't realize something was wrong until she walked in front of her.

The appearance of the single wheel is already very similar, the biggest difference is the eyes.

Changle's eyes are softer, like a young girl from an ordinary family, but her background is more noble.

As for Shadow Changle, due to his part-time job as an assassin, his eyes are sharp and his eyebrows are raised all the year round. Although his brows are flat at this moment, he still looks fierce.

"Why are you not polite when you see the princess?"

Seeing that everyone in the yard was standing still, the nanny was a little dissatisfied.

Gu Yao said: "Gu Yao is a monk, and he is a second-rank official. His Majesty specially grants him the right not to worship."

Jing Yin said: "Monks only worship the Buddha."

Die'er said: "I'm not a human being, I'm a ghost."

Xiao Hu: "I'm a puppet."

Yidie: "What is the princess?"

Spotted Lu Baihou: "Meow meow?"

Mammy was gnashing her teeth at the crowd's popularity, she raised her fingers, and was stopped by the shadow Chang Le behind her: "Back off."

"Princess."

"I said to step down!"

"Yes."

"You also retreat."

The maidservants were also dismissed by her, and after the nurse and the maidservants had all quit, Ying Changle looked at Gu Yao and said, "Go into the room and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, he walked like a dragon and a tiger, striding towards the house.

As soon as he spoke and walked, the others realized that something was wrong. The Chang Le they knew couldn't make this movement.

After entering the room, Shadow Changle sat down on the stool immediately, seeing several people coming in, he stretched out his hand, the candle flame jumped up, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.

"Gu Daoyou, I think you can also see it." She spoke at this moment, with a bit of fatigue.

Gu Yao sat across from her, looking at her face with some surprise: "I didn't realize that your face is very similar to Chang Le's in the past, no, I just met you in Wu Wangfu, and you are not so similar."

Shadow Changle smiled miserably: "Yes, it just appeared just now. My face and my body are gradually becoming her, and I can even feel that I am becoming a little bit less like myself."

"No, it should mean that Changle is revived in my body and wants to replace me little by little."

There was a hint of weakness on her face, and she looked at her hands: "The smell of blood on my hands is gone, it's clearly the hands of two murderers, but after only a few hours, they turned into the hands of those embroidered girls. "

Gu Yao asked: "What the hell happened? How is Changle, and what's going on with you?"

Shadow Changle shook his head and said: "It's a long story, if I talk about it in detail, I'm afraid that I will become Changle before I finish. Although I am her shadow and her substitute, I never wanted to become her. Fellow Daoist Gu, I came out of the palace in such a hurry to find you, and I came here to ask for your help."

"How do I know how to help you if you don't tell me?"

Shadow Chang Le clasped his fists and hammered his own head: "I'll make a long story short."

"Yesterday night, news came from the palace that I was asked to enter the palace as a guard. I don't know why, but this morning, Dr. Zhao—the doctor you saw in the Wu Palace, took me to the Wu Palace and took me to the Wu Palace. I used my blood to treat Changle's illness, I thought it was just Changle's illness that occurred earlier this time, so I didn't care."

"But I didn't expect that Chang Le passed out directly afterwards, and even I became weak. Doctor Zhao asked me to carry Chang Le back to the palace, and then things became unexpected."

"The emperor appeared and asked people to carry Changle into a Bagua palace that had been prepared a long time ago, then sealed the place, and then told me that I will be Changle in the future, and then little by little, I slowly changed. "

Speaking of this, Shadow Chang Le was a little scared: "They didn't do anything, and I started to change. I was so much taller than Chang Le, but all of a sudden, I became shorter, and then my face, voice, and then, I I can feel my body start to feel wrong."

"Gu Daoyou, do you know how bad it is to watch yourself become a stranger little by little?"

Gu Yao's face was gloomy, but after so much time, Ying Changle's face had become more and more refined, and even under his intentional attention, her voice gradually became more mellow and clear.

"Didn't you do anything? Then your connection with Changle should be just practicing the skill of sharing talent?"

Shadow Chang Le shook his head blankly: "Yes, no, she faints one day every month and needs my blood for treatment."

Gu Yao turned around and looked at Jingyin: "Master, you are well-informed, do you know what's going on?"

Jing Yin squinted her eyes: "Are you and Chang Le's birthdays exactly the same?"

"No, it's not the same." Shadow Changle denied it flatly.

"This"

Yidie suddenly said at this moment: "I know what's going on, she was born with part of her soul replaced by someone and the former Princess Changle, that's how the skill of sharing talent is, so now she becomes another person, In fact, the soul is completely integrated."

Gu Yao looked at her: "Do you know that exercise?"

Yidie sat down confidently and said: "This exercise is our exercise. It is originally a sorcery. Two people exchange souls. One is the master and the other is the assistant. They share their talents and they will bless each other when they practice."

"But once the last moment is reached, the deputy's soul will be pulled out and swallowed by the master's side to help him take the last step."

Shadow Changle said: "I am the Lord? How is it possible, I am just a Deadpool."

Yidie shook her head and said: "No, your situation is different. Generally speaking, after the death of the master, the deputy will inherit everything, but for you, the master died and the deputy will be assimilated. This is because the exercises have been changed. In addition, the first time I saw Changle, I felt that she was very close, and she should have something to do with us, if we want to save her, we need to go back to our village and ask the village chief to save her."

Yidie looked at Gu Yao and made a suggestion.

Gu Yao looked at the shadow of Changle, and slowly said: "But it seems too late, her change is faster than expected."

Yidie pouted, looked at her while shaking her head and said: "No, this assimilation is getting slower and slower, just like diving. It was easy at first, but it became more and more difficult as it went down. Judging by her speed, there are still about eight It will take an hour to be fully assimilated."

Seeing Gu Yao's silence, Yidie added: "By the way, I just remembered something. If this is assimilated, both of them will die, and in the end a newborn incomplete soul will survive in her body." .”

Gu Yao let out a long breath: "Why does your village have such evil exercises?"

"Hehe, the technique is evil, but it depends on where it is used. There are few people in the village. To protect the village, this method can only be used to ensure that the strong will continue to succeed."

"Then you know this so well, have you also learned it? You are the Lord?"

Yidie shook her head: "I can't remember clearly, my memory is intermittent."

Shadow Chang Le slapped the table and stood up, saluted earnestly and said: "Fellow Daoist, please save me, I am willing to pay any price."

"I was going to find Banyue Lake, so it was just by the way."

Gu Yao helped her up, and unconsciously frowned.
