Jiao Luan

Chapter 407 Evocation

Soon it was night, Cheng Wei got up quietly, pushed aside the green gauze curtain, put on her shoes and got out of bed.

She touched the things wrapped around her waist, all the utensils used to summon the soul of her eldest sister Cheng Ya were here.

It was not easy to carry things into the palace, and she had racked her brains to bring these things in.

Cheng Wei walked out, walked around the red sandalwood mountain and water screen, and was startled: "Cheng Tong, why are you here?"

Cheng Tong was wearing a homely blouse, apparently he had just woken up not long ago, and asked with a frown: "Sister San, are you really going to burn paper money for Eldest Sister alone?"

"Yeah, isn't that what we said a long time ago?"

"In the deep palace compound, it's midnight again, aren't you afraid?" There was no candlelight to illuminate, only the bright moonlight outside and the ever-burning lights came in through the window lattice, making Cheng Tong's face a little pale.

Are you afraid?

Cheng Wei sighed softly.

Even if she is a mysterious talisman doctor in the eyes of the world, she is a girl after all, and she is not afraid of summoning souls in the garden of the Eastern Palace in the middle of the night.

However, there are some things that must be done no matter how fearful they are.

So Cheng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm paying homage to my eldest sister, and my eldest sister will definitely protect me."

Cheng Tong snorted coldly: "The dead duck has a hard mouth."

She paused, and said: "Otherwise, I will ask the personal maid to accompany you."

She has always had a weak relationship with her elder sister Cheng Ya, and she is most afraid of the dark, so she will definitely not go, but when she thinks that Cheng Wei will go alone, she is not at ease.

Why does this person have so many things to do, just add to her troubles!

"No need." Cheng Wei flatly refused. Seeing Cheng Tong's small face tense instantly, she stretched out her hand to hold her cool hand, "Didn't you also say that these things are the most taboo in the palace. After all, your personal maid is not from childhood." The maid who grew up with you, the people in this palace, who is the eyeliner, how can I say it. I can't let the third person know about this matter, it will cause unnecessary trouble, so I should go by myself. "

"But--"

"No, but. Look at my height and my hand strength. There are either women or eunuchs in the East Palace. Is it possible that someone can do something to me?"

"Oh, let go, it hurts to death!" Cheng Tong shook off Cheng Wei's hand and gave her a white look, "Who said there are only eunuchs and women, and there are guards outside the palace gate. You go burn the paper and take care of it." Burn, but don't accidentally catch fire, when the time comes to attract guards to investigate, then the fun will be great."

"Okay, okay, I understand, don't worry, if you waste time, it will be dawn. It's not good to become such a mother-in-law after only taking care of brother Yu for a few days." Cheng Wei raised her hand and squeezed Pinch Cheng Tong's cheek.

Cheng Tong slapped it away, and said angrily: "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, you should go quickly, don't be so scared that you lose your soul and come back!"

After Cheng Wei left, Cheng Tong quietly returned to Luohan's bed, but turned over one after another, unable to fall asleep like pancakes.

She said, Cheng Wei is the most annoying person, bar none!

In the dead of night, clouds floated in the sky at some point, blocking the moon.Starlight was sparse, only the palace lanterns hanging under the far eaves had some light, and when it reached the garden with lush flowers and plants, the light was already very weak.In some places, the vegetation is tall and dense, and it is almost pitch black. The branches and flowers seem to be the withered arms of ghosts, which makes people feel drummed when they look at them.

During Cheng Wei's walk, he didn't dare to carry the lantern, even his steps were very light, and he kept cheering for himself, but his back was gradually drenched in cold sweat.

Stumbling around with the help of the dim light, I finally found the crabapple tree in my memory.

Cheng Wei stretched out his hand, supporting the trunk of the crabapple tree.

The night was very quiet, only the sound of the branches and leaves of the crabapple trees being blown by the wind could be heard.

Cheng Wei closed his eyes, his murmured voice was almost blown away by the night wind: "Big sister, I'm here, I hope you will bless me, so that the soul-calling technique can be performed smoothly."

Book ban is the most mysterious of the thirteen subjects of talisman medicine, and it is even more complicated to learn. Most of the time, to learn a talisman technique, one has to work hard, and often requires a moment of enlightenment.

Cheng Wei has barely mastered [-]% of Spiritualism until now, with a [-]-[-] success or failure.

But she couldn't wait.

The success rate of the soul-calling is also limited by the length of time for the soul-calling person to die.

The longer the time of death, the less chance of being able to successfully summon the soul.

Cheng Wei calculated and calculated, this is the best time to call out the soul of the eldest sister Cheng Ya.

What's more, she and the spirited person are close relatives.

There is also a special point in spiritualism, if you summon the soul for your loved ones, the success rate will increase.

Resting his mind, Cheng Wei squatted down under the crabapple tree, and took out the items he needed from his waist one by one.

Three small white porcelain bowls are used to insert incense sticks, and one small sapphire bowl is used to hold talisman water.

Sitting cross-legged, Cheng Wei was not in a hurry to draw the soul-calling talisman, but closed his eyes and meditated until his heart was at peace, then slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand, and a drop of blood on his fingertips slid in the air, bringing streams of light .

This scene is very mysterious and strange, the surrounding flowers, birds, fish and insects seem to be fascinated by it, and the world is peaceful.

Finally, the last stroke was put away, and all of the streamer was poured into the small sapphire bowl, and the water in the bowl was already pure enough to turn pale pink.

Cheng Wei picked up the small sapphire bowl, raised it up to his forehead, bowed down, and then carefully sprinkled the talisman water under the crabapple tree.

Then, take three sticks of incense sticks and light them, insert them into a small white porcelain bowl, and the pious girl sits on her knees instead, with her eyes slightly closed, chanting: "One stick of soul-returning incense leads to the three realms...then another stick of soul-returning incense Fragrance, straight through the Netherworld... three pillars of soul-returning incense, ethereal to the ten halls..."

When the wind picked up, the branches and leaves of the crabapple tree shook suddenly, and Cheng Wei's ears were full of whimpering.

She opened her eyes suddenly, but her eyes were empty, and they fell on the familiar figure in front of her.

That figure was wearing a red cloak, still dressed in winter, and it floated forward without touching the ground.

Without thinking, Cheng Wei immediately chased after her.

She chased the woman to the prince's study.

Seeing that the prince was not there, the woman walked around to the bookshelf, picked up a book and leaned against the bookshelf to read it.

After an unknown amount of time, there was movement outside the door, followed by the Prince and Concubine Hua.

"Mother Concubine can speak up if she has something to say." The Prince's voice was very cold, and it could be heard that he was extremely dissatisfied with Concubine Hua.

"Chen'er, are you blaming me?"

The prince became excited: "It was like this when my cousin entered the palace, and it's still like this now when I treat brother Yu's illness. Concubine mother, what are you thinking?"

The next two seemed to be arguing fiercely, but Cheng Wei couldn't hear clearly.

She knew that it was difficult for the summoned soul to fully present the scene of that day, so she waited patiently.

Concubine Hua's last words finally came true: "What do you know, what do you know! Chen'er, Xuan'er and you are cousins!"

Cheng Wei was shocked, and the person behind the bookshelf was also shocked, and the scroll in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

　I would like to thank Heshibi who gave a reward a few days ago from Juebanhuo.
