Chapter 11 Forbidden City

A wide Taoist robe, embroidered with Taiji and gossip arrays on the chest and back respectively. He is tall and thin, with long beards and chest. His slender eyes are half open and half closed, looking unfathomable.

Looking at this appearance alone, it is absolutely enough to be called a master.

Looking at the master invited by Yin Zhongwen, Huan Xuan was very satisfied and immediately said that as long as he succeeded in exorcising ghosts, he would add the master named Tiansong Taoist priest as a national teacher and build a Taoist temple for him in the capital and allow him to preach and accept disciples.

Immortals are also human beings! Hearing the emperor's promise, Tiansong did not say a word and immediately rolled his arms and began to do it with his sleeves. He first walked around the palace, asked for some haunted details, and finally came to Yong'an Palace, which was regarded as a forbidden place by the palace people.

He pinched his fingers and calculated it. He didn't know what was in his mouth, and then he saw a sneer on his face.

Yin Zhongwen, who followed him, walked around with Lao Dao and was already a little impatient. Now when he saw Tiansong's confident appearance, he immediately said happily, "Does Taoist priest have a way to exorcise ghosts?"

"Hmm! What a powerful demon, I'm just a group of lonely ghosts who don't know their fate. Don't worry, adults, as long as you follow what the poor way says and keep it back to your majesty's quiet palace."

Yin Zhongwen wanted this sentence and said quickly, "Please tell me, what do you need to do? I'm going to prepare. Oh, by the way, has the Taoist priest seen through the true face of this ghost?"

Tiansong smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Excellency, who did you say this palace used to be?"

Yin Zhongwen is also the most intelligent person. Although Tian Song's words were not clear, he immediately understood what the hell was.

As he was about to ask what else to prepare, he saw Bian Fanzhi coming with a large number of guards. There was also an elegant young man beside Bian Fanzhi. Yin Zhongwen recognized this man and knew that he was the younger brother of Sima Dewen and the deposed emperor Sima Dezong, who had been demoted to Shiyang County.

Just as Bian Fanzhi looked down on him, Yin Zhongwen also looked down on Bian Fanzhi very much. Relying on being a veteran who started with the emperor, he was arrogant, and his tail was almost raised to the sky.

Now Situ Wang Mi and some officials in the court have hooked up with Yin Zhongwen and are studying how to get rid of him!

At this moment, he said coldly, "Lord Bian, what are you going to do? Don't you see that this official is discussing with the Taoist priest how to exorcise ghosts? Take your people away immediately"

For Yin Zhongwen, of course, Bian Fanzhi would not have a good face. He looked at him contemptuously, raised his hand to worship the direction of the Golden Hall, and said, "Honor Yin, I was also ordered by His Majesty to send the Duke of Pingyang County to meet King Pinggu."

Sending Sima Dewen to meet Sima Dezong was decided before Yin Zhongwen entered the palace, and then Huan Xuan only cared about being happy and forgot this, but Bian Fanzhi did not forget that if he could use Sima Dewen to test whether the abandoned emperor had changed, then his credit would be great, so after he left the palace, he did not stop. He was taken out of Sima Dewen's house and went straight to Yong'an Palace.

If the Abandoned Emperor is still the same idiot, everything will be fine. Bian Fanzhi will take the opportunity to speak to Huan Xuan and send the Abandoned Emperor to Jiankang and hand him over to the local care. On the contrary, you have to think about whether to kill the deposed emperor directly, so that he won't make waves in the imperial city.

Yin Zhongwen has always been knowledgeable, and the palace is haunted. His first feeling is that the problem lies with the abandoned emperor, but of course he dares not say such words. He is also ready to take this opportunity to further win the favor of Huan Xuan, so he sent someone to find someone who is said to be very The powerful Taoist priest came to exorcise ghosts.

However, what Yin Zhongwen and Bian Fanzhi did not expect was that the two of them had the same idea in their hearts, that is, to drive the abandoned emperor out of the imperial city as soon as possible. Unfortunately, these two people pointed at Mai Mang, and neither of them were convinced, and there was a scene of competing for success together now.

Seeing that neither of them had the intention of giving in, Tiansong suddenly said, "Lord Yin, poor Tao asserted that this evil spirit is hiding in this Yong'an Palace, so poor Tao intends to go first to inspect it first. Lord Yin can immediately send someone to build an altar outside the gate of this palace. When the poor Tao comes back, he can open an altar to cast spells and exorcise evil spirits. However, adults must remember that the altar must be higher than this Yong'an Palace, otherwise they may not be able to subdue this evil spirit."

Of course, Yin Zhongwen will follow Tiansong's requirements, but the altar is so high, and it is already afternoon. I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to build it in a short time.

It seemed to know that this was something embarrassing Yin Zhongwen. Tiansong stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers to make a good deal. Suddenly, he looked at himself and said, "There is a poor road tonight, and the evil spirits dare not come out, but tomorrow night is a fierce night. The altar must be built before noon tomorrow, otherwise the evil spirits will become evil spirits, and there is nothing they can do."

Tiansong's words have been mentioned. If Yin Zhongwen is still angry with Bian Fan here, I'm afraid Huan Xuan will not protect him.

At present, Yin Zhongwen stared at Bian Fan with hatred, and then turned around to arrange the construction of the altar.

Bian Fanzhi took a look at Tiansong. Somehow, he suddenly felt that the Taoist priest was deliberately helping him.

There are still Yin Zhongwen around here. Of course, Bian Fanzhi will not say anything to Tiansong at this time. He waved his hands to open the door of Yong'an Palace.

Although it was just January, the winter seemed to be farther and farther away from Jiankang, and the weather had gradually warmed up, and the heavy snow, which was almost a hundred years ago, stopped as early as the day Huan Xuan ascended to the throne.

The melted snow made the ground muddy. It's okay to be cleaned elsewhere, but the Yong'an Palace is another scene.

It's not that the maids and eunuchs are lazy, but Lu Qiang deliberately did not let them clean in order to create that gloomy atmosphere.

At this time, as the palace door opened, looking inside, it was a desolate scene.

The branches and leaves falling from the lonely tree melted in the air with the ice and snow. What did they look like when they fell? They are still scattered everywhere, as if no one had passed by for a long time.

Except for the doors and windows of the hall in the middle, the doors and windows of other houses are almost dilapidated. At this moment, they are rattling with the wind, adding a little strange atmosphere.

Ten days ago, there was still snow on the ground, and I couldn't see anything, so Bian Fanzhi didn't feel anything wrong. Now when he saw this scene, he couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.

I remember that when the Abandoned Emperor came in, several palace eunuchs followed him. Why can't you see any of them now? Could it be...

Bian Fanzhi didn't dare to think about it any more. He was not very bold, but he didn't dare to walk in again, and the guards behind him dared not take a step forward. These samurai, who usually kill people without blinking, are afraid of ghosts and are not much better than women.

Fortunately, there is also a brother of the Abandoned Emperor. If the Abandoned Emperor really becomes a fierce ghost, take his brother first! I can follow behind so that I can escape at any time.

Thinking of this, Bian Fanzhi waved to Sima Dewen and said, "Your Majesty, please allow your brothers to meet. Go in and see your brother!"

Sima Dewen has also heard about the rumors that his brother has become a fierce ghost, which is inevitable and suspicious for a devout Buddhist. However, he thinks that even if his brother becomes a fierce ghost, he should not do anything to his own brother, right?

"I don't know who came to Yong'an Palace? The old slave has lost a long way, please forgive me"

Just as Bian Fanzhi turned his head and talked to Sima Dewen, the old eunuch Zhao Xiu suddenly came out of there and cooperated with his unique negative test voice, almost scared Bian Fanzhi down.

"Oh, my God... What the hell..."

Fortunately, there were his men to help him in time, otherwise Bian Fan would have to sit on the ground.

With Bian Fanzhi's scream, the guards who didn't have time to look closely also retreated, and many people even left the swords in their hands, which also highlighted Sima Dewen and Tiansong.

In fact, many people know Zhao Xiu, and they usually don't think this old eunuch is terrible. However, in today's atmosphere, everyone is extremely nervous by the rumor. With the sudden shout of Bian Fanzhi, it suddenly becomes what it is now.

The old eunuch Zhao Xiu still looked like that, and his turbid eyes seemed to be invisible and clear about everything.

bowed to Sima Dewen and said, "It turned out that King Langya has arrived. My master has always been very good. Does King Langya want to visit him?"

Sima Dewen's original title was King Langya, but now he has been demoted to the Duke of Shiyang County by Huan Xuan.

The situation inside is really strange, but this does not stop Sma Dewen's concern about his brother. He nodded and said, "That's for sure. It's annoying for my father-in-law to lead the way."

Zhao Xiu didn't seem to see anyone else. He made a gesture of inviting people in sideways, and then walked forward tremblingly.

Sima Dewen hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed Zhao Xiu and walked in. Behind him was the ghost exorcist master and the old Taoist Tiansong, but none of them dared to step into the door.

Hearing two people following up, Zhao Xiu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything and still walked forward slowly.

At this time, a more strange scene appeared. Suddenly, the door of the palace, which had been opened, was automatically windless, as if two invisible big hands "banged" closed the door.

At this time, the inside and outside of the palace suddenly became two worlds. Bian Fanzhi and his men screamed again and retreated.

Fear has made Bian Fanzhi forget the purpose of this trip and forget that no one is following Sima Dewen. How can he know what the situation of the Abandoned Emperor is now?

But now with his courage, I'm afraid he doesn't dare to open the palace door and walk in.

The sudden change scared Sma Dewen very much. Just as his legs were weak and he was about to sit on the ground, Tiansong suddenly helped him.

Tiansong smiled coldly and said, "Do you dare to pretend to be a ghost with this little skill?"

Zhao Xiu also stopped at this time and slowly turned around. His originally cloudy eyes seemed to suddenly turn into a sharp arrow and stabbed Tiansong.

Tian Song was obviously not an idle person and looked back at Zhao Xiu without showing weakness, but neither of them did anything or speak.

At this time, of course, the most to suffer is Sima Dewen, sandwiched between the two. Although the two did not move, there seemed to be a sword between them, which made him almost breathless.

I don't know how long it took. Just when Sima Dewen was about to hold on, the door of the main hall suddenly opened, and then he saw a small eunuch quickly come out and came to several people.

"King Langya invites you to come with me"

With that, he couldn't help but reach out and hold Sima Dewen and walk to the hall.

The door of the palace was closed with the entry of Sima Dewen. Only Zhao Xiu and Tiansong stood there like two wooden stakes in the courtyard, and they did not know how long they would stand.
