All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 268 The Empress and the National Teacher

This is not the first time Shen Lingxi has been a ghost.

Compared with the last time when she was attached to the embroidered picture and couldn't move, at least this time, she can flexibly control her own body.

It's a wonderful feeling.

Her soul is still there, but her body is dead.

But her soul is still in her body, which can walk, jump, and even talk.

It's just that she doesn't need to breathe, eat, go to the toilet, taste food, feel pain, and feel neither warmth nor warmth...

It's just... quite novel.

In order to leave conveniently, Shen Lingxi walked around the tomb several times to get used to the corpse and have complete control over it.

Although she fell into a coma for a short time because of the separation of her soul, Liu Meiren and Kui Jiu watched the whole process from the sidelines.

"The person on your body must be that poisonous empress uncle Mei."

Before Liu Mei's life, as a concubine who lived under the eyes of Tai Shu Mei, she naturally knew Tai Shu Mei best.

"After her soul is in your body, her tone of voice is exactly the same as that of Taishu Mei. I will never admit my mistake."

"Your chief commander is also very strange. He is obviously not a national teacher, but when he saw Tai Shumei waking up with your body, he folded his hands together, restrained and excited, but he looked very much like you. National Division."

"Could it be...he also resurrected his soul through a dead body?"

Now that things have happened, Shen Lingxi is no longer surprised that Xiang Zhou was able to resurrect his soul with a dead body.

Just because she vaguely guessed that he had such ability, Shen Lingxi knew that there was something wrong with the jade pendant, but she deliberately pretended to be irritated and followed the trend, wanting to know Xiang Zhou's real intention.

At this moment, Shen Lingxi knew that Xiang Zhou had refined so many ghosts, and the person who "resurrected" was Tai Shumei.

Then think of the "Si Wu Xie" that was placed in the secret room of the medicine palace earlier.

She even felt that if 20 years ago, her birth was really caused by Xiang Zhou's "changing his fate against the sky".

Then he played a big game of chess in order to revive Taishu Mei.

This game of chess has been more than 30 years since the country was subjugated by the previous dynasty. The time is long enough and the layout is deep enough.

"What kind of person was that national teacher in your previous court?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

"He's a ruthless man."

Liu Meiren said with a complicated expression, "I heard that he is a coffin child, he was regarded as unknown at birth, he was spurned and abused by the world, and later he was accepted as a disciple by the master of Taiyi Mountain."

"His appearance is feminine and handsome. When he was 15 years old, the emperor took a fancy to his skin and brought him back to the palace to serve him by his side."

"He is proficient in Taoism and alchemy. One day, in front of civil and military officials, he brought a dead body back to life, so he won the emperor's favor."

"Later, he asked himself to make alchemy for the emperor, and gradually became more and more trusted."

"After the emperor's sudden death, Taishu Mei helped the emperor's youngest son ascend the throne and worshiped him as the national teacher. The people's fat and the people's anointment, under the heavy levies and miscellaneous taxes, the people are in dire straits, and the people suffer unspeakably."

"Later, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty couldn't bear the tyranny, raised troops to rebel, and went straight to the capital. After killing the poison, he joined the national teacher and established the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Liu Meiren paused, "However, when the two of them were alive, one was in the harem and the other was in the front court, and they rarely met. I didn't expect that it would be like this in private..."

Although there are differences between the national teacher in Liu Mei's population and the commandant Shen Lingxi knows - Xiang Zhou, there are similarities in their bones.

Shen Lingxi knew from a young age that Da Si Ming was not an ordinary person.

He has always been taciturn, but he has profound knowledge in medicine and poison. Under his rule, the huge medicine palace is strict and orderly.

Although he is not a disciple of the Puppet Sect, he is very interested in the method of the Puppet Sect, and he is respected by the Sect Master of the Puppet Sect.

Medicine and poison are driven by Shen Lingxi's interest, so he worked hard to practice.

But the silk puppet art was taught by Xiang Zhou after reading the ancient books of the puppet sect.

In the previous life, when Shen Lingxi practiced the silk puppet art, she was repeatedly frustrated and couldn't find the way. Xiang Zhou always encouraged her.

Now that Shen Lingxi thinks about these things again, she has a vague feeling that at that time, Xiang Zhou was already planning today's events.

The thread-drawing puppet technique uses the soul as the thread to pull the corpse.

In the process of traction, the soul is like flowing water, through touch, it turns into silk thread, controlling the corpse.

Xiang Zhou asked her to practice the silk puppet technique, although she couldn't practice it when she was alive in her previous life.

But after being reborn, there is no teacher, as long as it touches the corpse, the soul can directly turn into a silk thread and walk towards the corpse.

Souls can flow and they can be squeezed out.

The situation today is exactly that.

However, Shen Lingxi didn't understand, how could Xiang Zhou be sure that she would definitely come back here with a fresh body, so that the uncle could flatter her upper body?

Among them, there must be reasons she doesn't know.

"Where did Wuerda go?" Shen Lingxi asked suddenly, "Why is Wuerda's soul not here? Could it be that he was also refined by the coffin?"

Liu Meiren shook her head, "I was suddenly sucked into the coffin just now, and I didn't see his shadow."

Kui Nineteen seemed to be thinking of something, and said uncertainly: "The last time I was sucked into a coffin with one leg, I thought I was going to die. It was Da Si Ming who ordered Uerda to collect the talisman water to stop the formation. , allowing me to escape."

"When I was running away, I faintly heard that Da Si ordered Wuerda to do something for him. As for what it was, I didn't hear clearly."

Shen Lingxi frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What is the Fushui you are talking about?"

Kui Nineteen floated to the southeast corner of the tomb, pointed at a stone statue of Fang Xiangshi, "here."

Fang Xiangshi is a tomb-suppressing beast, with a human body and animal feet, like a bear but not a bear, with his mouth open, naked, squatting, holding a spear and holding a shield.

At the entrance of the underground palace of Yongtai Palace, there were stone bricks carved with Fang Xiangshi.

Shen Lingxi didn't pay attention to this stone statue at first, but at this moment she walked over and looked in the direction of Kui Nineteen's fingers, and saw that the lines carved on the shield held by Fang Xiangshi belonged to a Taoist sect. Dao Fu.

There is a hole on the top of the stone wall directly above the shield, and on the floor tiles below the shield.

In the hole in the top of the wall, water droplets condensed.

The water droplets landed on the Dao Talisman of the shield, then "ticked" along the sharp corners below the shield, and fell into the hole below.

This was the sound of dripping water that Shen Lingxi heard when she first entered the tomb.

It is a device similar to a water clock.

When Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan went to Yuquan to watch Wuerda, they saw a similar water clock in his medicine hall.

"What's the use of this thing? Why can it catch water?" Shen Lingxi asked puzzled.

In this world, ghosts are invisible like wind and air, and can be penetrated by things in the world.

How can a ghost catch a drop of water?
Kui Nineteen thought about it and said: "This statue is made of special material. When water passes through the Dao talisman on the shield, it will become talisman water. The dead soul can't catch the water, but it can catch the talisman water. This water drop should be a formation The mechanism activated by the method catches the water drop, and the formation stops."

Shen Lingxi suddenly understood.

Xiang Zhou will not let Kui Nineteen go without a reason.

He told Wu Erda to take the talisman water and let Kui Nineteen escape. The purpose was very clear, that is to let Kui Nineteen find her, tell her about the tomb, and lead her to come to find out.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that Kui Nineteen didn't go back, but sat in the ruins and cried.

Presumably the child had vaguely guessed the other party's intentions, and he didn't want to be used by him.

If Shen Lingxi hadn't discovered something strange in the Si Mansion and went up the mountain to investigate, Kui Nineteen might not have returned to the Yunjiang Palace...
