no soul

Chapter 140 Castle in the Air 1 Pillow of Yellow Beam

The smell of blood rushed to the face, it was too strong, like being splashed with blood.

They covered their noses and looked into the coffin.

Inside lay an old man with a thin body, and the blood-stained cloth around him took up more space than others.

Apart from his pale complexion, the old man seemed to be asleep. It has been six days since he passed away, but he has not decayed at all, not even a corpse spot.

Looking at his dead body, Lin Hong felt a bit of distress for no reason, but he clearly didn't know him, maybe it was because the old man was too kind-hearted, with white hair and white eyebrows, and the lines of his face were extremely gentle, without any sharp edges and corners, and the ends of his eyebrows curled down , it seems that nothing in this world can make him frown.

But the smell of blood was too unsightly.

Lin Hong couldn't help frowning, "What is the cause of death, such a bloody smell?"

Yu Tian also stretched out his hand indifferently, "Sword wound. Stabbed on the lower back and eye, died of excessive blood loss."

Lin Hong remembered that some villagers said that Wu's father just had a cough, but he disappeared for no reason. Some villagers also speculated that Wu Niu killed his father. Could it be that they were right?

"Who is it...Wu Niu or Lin Hong?" Duan Yu trembled a little.

When Lin Hong heard "Lin Hong", he always felt that he was being called, so he glanced at Duan Yu.

Dai Xuchen heard it and looked at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu was wondering why the two of them looked at him, Yu Tian also said, "Of course the murderer is more likely to be Wu Niu, Lin Hong came here the first day, and Father Wu died the next day."

Duan Yu looked at her, "But it's also possible that Lin Hong killed him the first day, and Wu Niu was buried the next day. No villager mentioned seeing Father Wu during this period."

Yu Tian also raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the villagers say that Wu Niu was bullied and was always protected by his father? I can't be grateful for that? If Lin Hong kills his father, will he give up?"

Duan Yu was almost surrounded by her, "Then it's even more impossible for Wu Niu to kill his father with his own hands."

Yutian also became impatient, "It must be Wu Niu who did it himself, how could he be indifferent when he saw others kill his father, even took the Jade Tiger Talisman, and listened to the murderer's arrangement to bury his father here?"

Duan Yu got into an argument, and said to Yu Tian, ​​"Your logic is too weird! How could I be able to do it myself!"

"Your logic is strange!" Yu Tian also turned to stare at him.

Now it's an either-or deadlock.

The knife wound was in the lower back, so there is a high probability that Father Wu committed suicide.The suspects are Lin Hong and Wu Niu.

Lin Hong recalled Wu Niu's various reactions... Wu Niu knew about the existence of Yin soldiers, he was very concerned about the jade pendant Lin Hong gave him, he didn't keep his filial piety and buried his father here...

What Yu Tian said was unreasonable, if it was Lin Hong's hands, how could Wu Niu feel at ease?Still let it go?

And as Duan Yu said, is this Wu Niu really insane enough to kill his father?Not to mention his father who has always defended him.

But no matter what, Wu Niu's son has serious problems, either the murderer or the accomplice.

I'm afraid in his heart, Yin soldiers are more important than his father.

Lin Hong still had a glimmer of hope. He hoped that Wu Niu's father had instructed Wu Niu to do this. Wu Niu's father's life was difficult, and it seemed to make sense and make people feel less chilled.

The result cannot be fully finalized yet, because they still don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Lin Hong's gourd.

I'm afraid I have to go back to the first thing he met when he came to Guifang - looking for Lin Hong.

The deceased was the oldest, and they closed the coffin, preparing to let Wu's father rest in peace.

They didn't dare to bury it in the same place. They had just experienced such a horrible encirclement by Yin soldiers, and with the bamboo scattered all over the ground, they had no choice but to find another place.

The coffin was extremely heavy, and the four of them couldn't lift it very far, so they found a clean place nearby and buried it. They simply set up a huge stone as a mark, and when they have a chance in the future, they can help the old man erect a decent monument—— I don't know if there is such a future.

They set off on their way back.

Lin Hong feels that the biggest variable right now is this Dai Xuchen.

He followed them all the way but was almost silent. From his point of view, he should know that the Yin soldiers were created by Wu Niu. Just now he snatched the Jade Tiger Talisman from Wu Niu. He also stood at the door and saw them, listening to them He can also hear the sevens and eights of the conversation.

How would he return the emperor?

Later Wu Niu yelled "It's Lin Hong", and Duan Yu and Yu Tian also mentioned "Lin Hong". ".

So he began to suspect that he was not the Feng Shui master the emperor was looking for?

Lin Hong looked at Dai Xuchen who was walking beside him.

But if he really began to doubt his identity, would he take them back to the palace now?

Or is he planning not to scare the snake away, and wait until he returns to the palace?

wrong.He shouldn't doubt himself.The emperor had seen them before, Duan Yu behaved very well, the emperor had already believed that they had knowledge of Feng Shui.

Lin Hong thought that if he was asked about "Lin Hong" who had the same name and surname as himself, he only had to insist that he was the real "Feng Shui Onmyoji" and that Lin Hong was just a demon who imitated his name, and he was just a demon who imitated the emperor Longyan. Wu Niu is all in one.

That's it for the identity issue, and there are follow-up questions——

How would the emperor deal with Wu Niu and Lin Hong when he knew about it?

Will the Yin soldiers make a comeback and retaliate even more?

Lin Hong felt that no matter what, it was necessary for him to keep this Jade Tiger Talisman. Although it didn't play any role just now, there must be a reason for Lin Hong and Wu Niu to have one.

——Tell the emperor that the Jade Tiger Talisman was lost in the strong wind.

Sensing Lin Hong's gaze, Dai Xuchen looked sideways at him.

Four eyes facing each other.

Dai Xuchen was stunned for a moment, then showed a gentle smile, "Master Lin, why don't you explain what happened to me? I'll return to His Majesty when I go back."

?This time, Lin Hong was stunned.There is such a good thing?

Dai Xuchen is agreeing with himself?

Lin Hong was skeptical, so he seized this opportunity and told him what he had just thought—Lin Hong assumed his own name, Wu Niu imitated the emperor's appearance, and the two killed the old man, seized the dragon's veins, and created evil soldiers, intending to plot rebellion .

Lin Hong also wanted to stay by the emperor's side, figure out the emperor's mystery, and use the emperor's hand to investigate Lin Hong.

Therefore, his explanation for the eruption of the strong wind that erupted from his body just now to eliminate the Yin soldiers is that he has a special physique, and a hundred ghosts are not close, but the Yin soldiers still exist and have not been eliminated. There is a possibility of a comeback at any time. Your Majesty just needs to follow him You can be worry-free.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the suspicious emperor misunderstood that the Yin soldiers have obeyed his orders and snatched the Jade Tiger Talisman and harmed himself.

"Yes." Dai Xuchen replied loyally after listening.

Lin Hong didn't know if he believed in him... he could only gamble, but he still had to be careful.

Back at the soldiers' quarters, these soldiers were all panicked by the shock just now, but they dared not run away despite the military orders.

The carriage meanders and turns back along the original road.

Passing through the bustling market, Lin Hong stopped the carriage. He raised the curtain and looked at the passers-by, and asked, "Do you know Lin Hong?"

Passers-by stood on the side of the road, already stunned because of this luxury carriage parked in front of them, but when they heard the handsome young man in the carriage ask him if he knew "Lin Hong", they were even more stunned, and they didn't even know what to say or what to say. Know whether you should answer "know" or "don't know".

Lin Hong saw their hesitation, and comforted him, "Just tell me the truth."

"do not know."

"No." Shaking his head.

"do not know……"

With his encouragement, people on the road spoke out.

Lin Hong asked a few more people, and the answers he got were the same - they didn't know each other.

Lin Hong suspected that it was because the village was remote, so the villagers had never heard of "Feng Shui Master Lin Hong", but now even the people in the city say they don't know each other...

So, where did the emperor say "Lin Hong is famous"?

The soldiers who followed were all wondering why Yu Lin Hong asked others if they knew him.Want to test your reputation?

When passers-by said "I don't know", they were all very nervous.But Lin Hong didn't seem unhappy?

really weird.Who knows.A master like this is always a little bit different from ordinary people's weird behavior.

It was dusk when we returned to the palace.

The emperor first summoned Dai Xuchen on the grounds of letting Lin Hong rest.

Lin Hong was a little apprehensive. He couldn't guarantee that Dai Xuchen believed his words and would tell the emperor what he said.

After all, this is a general who is loyal to the emperor, so why should he defect halfway and join them?

The emperor summoned Lin Hong after they finished their dinner.

"Brother Lin..." Duan Yu hesitated to speak.

"Let's go." Lin Hong did not refuse. If the emperor asked about Feng Shui again, he would not be able to answer it by himself.

Duan Yu: "...I just want you to be more careful..."

Lin Hong: "Let's go."

"I'll go too. The two of you can't lift your hands or carry it on your shoulders. If you fight, you might be pinned to the ground." Yu Tian also said coldly while holding the knife.

Lin Hong: "..."

Duan Yu: "..."

As a result, they saw that the emperor could not wear a sword, and they were stopped at the door by the imperial guards.

Yu Tian also refused to hand over her knife, and the imperial guards refused to let them in.Yu Tian was also so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Let them in!" The emperor hurriedly stopped the imperial guards inside, as if he was afraid of making Lin Hong and the others unhappy.

God knows what a privilege it is for them to see the emperor with a saber, the imperial guards are all stupid.

As soon as the emperor saw Lin Hong, he invited them to the seat, "Immortal Lin really has boundless powers! I heard General Dai say that you repelled the Yin soldiers by yourself!"

Lin Hong was embarrassed, although he deserved the praise, but at least the title "Lin Xianren" and the privilege just now meant that he was not exposed.

Or maybe the emperor and Dai Xuchen are acting?But it's not to the point of risking himself and allowing Yu Tianyi to meet with a knife - the emperor really trusts them.

Lin Hong thought, in fact, no matter whether the emperor believed that he was a real Fengshui master, if he had a way to subdue the Yin soldiers—as long as the threat of Yin soldiers still existed, the emperor would not touch him.

Thinking of this, Lin Hong felt relieved, and followed the emperor's words, "I'm just a mediocre man, how dare I take this honor. It is my duty to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"Hey, Immortal Lin is too modest," the emperor sighed, his expression becoming serious, "The power of the Yin soldiers is so terrifying! I can feel the turmoil on the top of the mountain even in the city!"

That was done by Wan Guchuan. ——Lin Hongxin said.

"I hope that the threat of the Yin soldiers can be resolved immediately! Otherwise, I will not be able to sleep! I...cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

The emperor was agitated, and suddenly began to cough violently. The cough made him bend over. The bones in his back were deformed and protruding. When he bent over, his center of gravity shifted forward, as if he was about to fall off the stool.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Hong got up to help him.

The emperor waved his hand, "It's okay... cough cough cough cough... this is the root cause of my illness since I was a child, I cough when I get excited, cough cough cough cough... it will be fine after a while... cough cough cough..."

Lin Hong was startled.

Yu Tianyi and Duan Yu were also stunned for a moment.

The root of the disease that fell from childhood?

Lin Hong inevitably thought of Wu Niu, and it seemed that he would cough violently every time he was emotional.

Wu Niu looks exactly like the emperor...

Wu Niu intends to rebel...

The rebellion was successful...the whole state was in unison...the emperor...a dynasty that didn't exist...

This seems to be a cohesive timeline?

They are actually the same person!

Countless chaotic details were pieced together in Lin Hong's mind.

Wu Niu's father also coughed—maybe it's hereditary?

No one in the world has heard of "Feng Shui Master Lin Hong", but the emperor said that Lin Hong was very famous, and where did he know Lin Hong—Wu Niu knew Lin Hong.

This gorgeous and luxurious palace, the wealth that can move mountains...

The people in the city, Guangxia Xizhan, Guanxi Lichen, live a prosperous life...

The pastries are exquisite, but hard to swallow...

Excessive gorgeousness is just an appearance.

In the present world, Wu Niu wanted to raise his soldiers to conspire against him. In the end... did he succeed?

——This dynasty should not exist.

He failed.

Everything is directed and acted by Wu Niu alone.

The complaining ghost cannot completely control the ghost party, but the ghost party will bring the complaining ghost's own consciousness.

With Yongsui Mountain as the boundary, one is the dream he doesn't want to wake up from, and the other is the past he doesn't want to think about.

In Wu Niu's vision, Yin soldiers took shape, and under his orders, they swept away the Zhou Dynasty and aspired to the Central Plains.

He boarded the dragon chair and proclaimed himself "Yue".

Ninth Five-Year Honor, worshiped by the world.

But all these are castles in the air, all illusions.

Countless luxurious things are piled up in the palace, whether it's because of inferiority or vanity, Wu Niu still thinks that the heavenly palace is not bright enough, not powerful enough, not enough to deter the world.

He has a full imagination, beautiful palaces, and Feng Shui, but he has never really experienced such a rich life. He has never drank expensive tea or eaten exquisite pastries. Food has its appearance, but its entrance is like swallowing a needle.

It's all flashy stuff.

The people in the city are all rich and noble, and don't worry about their livelihoods—this is Wu Niu's understanding of the prosperous heaven.

But what is happiness?Can the lack of warmth really be filled with money?

Why did Wu Niu's father die?

Occupying a high position and spending recklessly, he is in a state of panic all day long, and the evil soldiers who are afraid of rebellion are actually from his past self.

For a moment, Lin Hong looked at the emperor coldly, without saying a word.

The emperor coughed for a long time, and seemed to have finally calmed down. He took a long breath, picked up his teacup, and took a sip, "I'm sorry, Immortal Lin."

"The body of the dragon is important." Lin Hong's voice was devoid of emotion.

"What should I do next? How to subdue the Yin soldiers? Is there any trick to capture the two monsters who are good at imitating others?" The emperor asked sincerely.

Lin Hong could tell that Dai Xuchen had indeed spoken according to what he had told him.

And this emperor doesn't remember his past, he doesn't think Wu Niu is himself.

"Of course the king is the first to capture the thief." Lin Hong smiled.

The emperor humbly asked, "How to capture? I would like to hear the details."
