Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 259 They only have half a night
"The map is easy to talk about. I will ask Yanchuan to study the topography of the Shangshu Mansion carefully tomorrow, and draw a map by the way." Mo Junli nodded, he can still do this job.

The young man hesitated: "But, are you sure we're asking that thing...can you ask?"

Good guy, it's Yan Chuan again, this brother followed this old guy, it's really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

——The old scalpers in the crop fields don't do that!

Mu Xici's thoughts fluttered and wandered strangely, her black pupils flickered, and she subconsciously lowered her head to glance at the leafy old tree outside the wall, and tugged at the corners of her lips: "You just look at the arrangements, anyway, our There is not much time, and we must not lose a moment."

The two of them were not the only ones in the court who wanted to get the pile of criminal evidence in Chao Ling's hands, and Liao Zhen and others must be watching very closely.

According to Qianping's usual practice, the Imperial City Guards guarding outside Shangshu's Mansion will withdraw one after another on the day after Chao Ling was questioned and beheaded, and the matter of ransacking the house and counting the property in the mansion will be completed before then.

In other words, the night when Chao Ling was beheaded for public display should be the most relaxed moment for everyone in Beijing.

When Chao Ling died, the defeat of the Shangshu Mansion was a foregone conclusion, and the imperial guards stationed outside the mansion would definitely not take care of them too closely.

Moreover, the imperial guards outside the mansion have not retreated. To be on the safe side, the rest of the group will not rush to visit any Shangshu mansion at night at this time, so as not to inadvertently startle the snake and make the guards who have just relaxed become stricter again.

Most of them will choose the night when the imperial army evacuates, or at noon of the day, when there are the fewest people on the street.

Therefore, from Zizheng onwards, they have about half the night.

Naturally, they only have half the night.

Once the Eastern Sun was born, the guards on duty were replaced, and the gates of the mansion were sealed off, they would have no chance to continue their search.

"As for whether I can ask." The little girl wrinkled her nose and put her hands on her hips as a matter of course, "You old man can live another life, why can't I find out something from my soul?"

"I've never encountered such a thing before." Mo Junli scratched his head, "You can just pretend that I have never seen the world."

Seeing this, Mu Xici gulped down the last bit of juice in the bottle, got up and patted the hem of his clothes: "Sure, this time Pindao will show you the world——Finish, I'm going back to sleep, you can do it yourself."

"Oh, by the way, remember to take the trash away." The little girl turned her head, and casually pointed to the empty oil-paper bag and empty porcelain bottle on the green roof tiles. After speaking, she turned down the roof by herself.

"Yes, yes, I was the one who took care of these things." The boy nodded his head and pecked at the rice.

——Just kidding, how could he bother Mr. Guoshi with such a trivial matter?

It is this little girl who walks neatly today.

Mo Junli secretly slandered, silently picked up the waste oil paper and small porcelain bottles on the roof tiles, and with a wave of his sleeves, his internal strength swept all the leftovers from the roof into the grass under the eaves .

Mu Xici, who turned back into the room, was not in a hurry to go to bed, she just changed into black clothes slowly, and grabbed the cloak that was thrown on the small shelf again.

The little girl leaned against the window sill, drooping her eyes in silence for a long while, then suddenly leaned over and rummaged in the small cabinet by the table. It took a long time to dig out a section of her old Chen that was half the size of her palm from the deepest part of the cabinet. year willow.

She also forgot exactly where she got it, she just remembered that she bought it at a small stall when she went to the street one time.

At that time, she saw that this thing was old enough and full of yin energy, and she might be able to use it someday after buying it, so she asked the price casually.

The wood seller saw that her clothes were expensive, and thought she was an ignorant young lady, and deliberately said that it was a rare piece of old pine wood, and charged ten times the price.

She was too lazy to talk to him, she directly exposed his intention, lowered the price to the lowest, dropped the money, turned around and left.

The man wanted to argue with her, but when he turned his head, he bumped into the sword in Ming Xuan's arms. At this point, he knew that he had accidentally met an expert and kicked an iron plate, so he had to admit it in a muffled voice.

Harmful, I hope that the wood seller can have a long memory, and stop doing such deceitful jobs in the future.

Otherwise, the next time she meets, she will go to him to lower the price.

Mu Xici was thinking idly, while he took out the bronze dagger that was in the sheath, and cut out a small piece of wood from the willow wood that was about one inch long, one finger wide, and half an inch thick, and then cut the remaining The wood was thrown into the depths of the cabinet again.

Such a big part should be enough, and she is not going to really hold Chao Ling's soul to prevent him from being reincarnated, nor is she going to raise any resentful ghosts, but just ask two questions from noon to three o'clock.

She is a good Kun Dao, and she is determined not to add extra work to the underworld, nor to disturb the normal life of others.

Master Mu lowered his eyes, carefully holding the tip of the dagger, and carefully carved the section of willow in his hand.

This bronze blade is used to cutting iron like mud. She was good at carving talismans and seals when she was in Liuyun Guan before, so she is naturally very handy in carving this thing now.

The little girl's movements were extremely fast, and within a short while she carved out a very small coffin with a lid.

She put the little thing in the palm of her hand, shook her wrist with great satisfaction and weighed it again and again, then pinched the handle of the knife, picked a handful of soil from the small flower pot by the window, and threw it into the coffin.

After finishing these, Mu Xici tilted his head and pondered for a moment, and finally drew two cinnabar talismans with his brush and ink.

After drying one piece, she carefully folded it into small pieces and temporarily pressed it into the dowry compartment, while she lit the other piece with a torch, threw it into a small porcelain bowl and burned it to ashes.

She was not idle when the talisman was burning, and took the opportunity to wipe the dagger clean and put it back into the scabbard. When the talisman flame was extinguished, her bronze dagger had just been put away.

She lowered her eyes to look at the small bowl, and confirmed that the talisman had been completely burned, then took out a pair of tweezers, thoroughly stirred up the talisman dregs in the bowl into ashes, and then put the talisman ashes into the small wooden coffin.

Yep, that's basically it.

On the day of Chao Ling's execution, she only needs to seize the time when the unlucky Shangshu's head fell to the ground, Ma Liu will put his soul into this small coffin, and then find a nearby tree root to bury this thing shallowly, and then she will be able to create a coffin. The illusion of "he is in the ground".

In this way, his soul will be between life and death, and he will not be dragged back to the underworld immediately, and the ghost messenger over there will not rush to find him.

At midnight, she sneaked out of the mansion, summoned ghosts and found out where the physical evidence in his hand was kept, she withdrew the formula, and then recited two passages of the mantra of rebirth, and burned the small piece of wood, everything It can be restored to its original state.

It's a pity that as an ordinary person, Chao Ling's soul strength is not high, so she can't be too far away from the place where she died, otherwise she can take this thing directly to the old guy. It's easier.

In addition, except for the bronze dagger in her hand, she has no magic weapon at hand for the time being, and she will inevitably suffer a lot at that time.

Tsk, when this is over, she is determined to give Mo Junli a delicious meal to comfort her for her hard work.

　This shouldn't be checked by the water meter, right?

　　I'm so empty (cough)
　　By the way, a monthly pass?
　　Next week, I still don’t even have wholesale tweets, so I’m going to cry to my editor QAQ
