Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2006 Chuxiu Palace

"Give up?" Rao Shi laughed loudly and said, "If you give up this knife, Master Bu, I'm afraid you won't survive more than three days!"

Bu Zhenxin was shocked, stood up and left the table, clasping his fists and saying: "Why can't you live for three days? Please ask the Taoist priest for advice."

"Lord Bu, Brother Bu... sit down and listen to me slowly." Rao Shi nodded and said, "The knife you have now is no longer your Bu family. How to treat this knife is up to you." By yourself.”

Bu Zhenxin didn't understand and frowned: "What does the Taoist Master mean by this?"

"Everything in the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers. Mr. Bu, as a bannerman, you have received the emperor's favor, received the imperial salary, and received errands from the Ministry of Punishments. It can be said that you and the Blood Swallowing Sword are both members of the imperial court. . Do you understand?" Rao Shi said.

Bu Zhenxin clasped his fists to the north and said, "It is my duty to be loyal to the imperial court!"

Rao Shi nodded and said: "That's right. Prince Li's intention is to let your Bu family be in charge of the blood-swallowing knife forever and serve the court. Even this matter, Long Live Lord also nodded. Master Bu, since ancient times, You are probably the first executioner appointed by the emperor, haha..."

Bu Zhenxin was surprised and happy. He was so frightened that he lay on the ground, kowtowed to the north and shouted long live.

"So you can't give up this sword. The court won't allow it." Rao Shi trimmed his beard and said: "Moreover, there are countless ghosts who died with this sword. They don't dare to seek revenge because they are afraid of the murderous intent of the sword. Once If you put down your sword, I'm afraid all the ghosts will come. When the time comes, do you still want to live?"

Bu Zhenxin got up from the ground, clasped his fists and said, "I see, thank you to the Taoist Master for your advice. But I still hope that the Taoist Master will give you some advice on what to do in the future."

"It's easy to talk about." Rao Shi pulled Bu Zhenxin to sit down and said: "From what I see, Master Bu should regain his power and continue to use the blood-swallowing knife to kill people. The more he kills, the better, in order to condense the murderous intention of the knife. In this way, no matter whether it is monsters or monsters, they will not dare to go against you in the future, and only then will the whole house be safe forever."

After a pause, Taoist Rao Shi said again: "Actually, this is also what the prince meant."

"Please, Taoist Priest, tell the prince that your servant Bu Zhenxin will serve the imperial court even if he dies!" Bu Zhenxin clasped his fists and raised his chest, looking forward to death.

Being able to climb the big tree of Prince Li, Bu Zhenxin will naturally have to show off.

Rao Shi laughed while stroking his palms, and said: "But this blood-swallowing knife still needs to be enshrined so that it can be passed down from generation to generation. Master Bu also knows that whoever has this knife in his hand will have unlimited murderous intent. Therefore, the Bu family also wants to The incense and wedding clothes are offered as offerings, so that the blood-swallowing knife can be imprinted with the mark of the Bu family."

"If someone is stupid, please ask the Taoist priest for advice."

"This is actually easy to do. Just put this knife in the middle of the ranking of the ancestors of the Bu family, burn a stick of incense in the morning and evening, and kowtow three times in the morning and evening, and be in awe." Rao Shi pointed out.

Bu Zhenxin followed the plan and immediately prepared a quiet room to enshrine the sword and his ancestral tablet.Morning and night, don't dare to slack off.

Because he was recuperating from his injuries, Bu Zhenxin didn't go out when he returned from slaying demons in Xishan. He just stayed at home and paid filial piety to his father.

But less than a month later, Taoist Rao Shi came again with a heavy look on his face.

Observing the words and expressions, Bu Zhenxin knew that something was going on and asked: "Taoist Master, is there something going on when you come here now?"

Rao Shi nodded and lowered his voice and said, "Master Bu, this matter is between the two of us. The good and the bad are unknown."

"I don't know what's going on?" Bu Zhenxin asked in surprise.

Rao Shi looked around and whispered: "Something strange happened in the palace. The prince sent a secret order for you and me to go to the palace with a blood-swallowing knife to catch ghosts and subdue demons..."

"In the palace?" Bu Zhenxin was startled and almost shouted.

There is actually a ghost in the palace, and you want me to deal with it?Bu Zhenxin never dreamed that something like this would happen to him.

"Shh, don't scream!" Rao Shi was startled and whispered: "If word gets out, you and I will both lose our heads. This is a top-secret mission."

Bu Zhenxin wiped his sweat, nodded and said: "I understand, but Taoist Master, what on earth is going on?"

Rao Shi sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said: "In the Chuxiu Palace, in recent days, palace maids have been killed violently, and ghosts were heard screaming in the middle of the night. There was also a concubine who called for people in the middle of the night, and a group of people came in covered with blood. The former Ming Dynasty palace maid..."

Let me go, in the palace of the Qing Dynasty, a palace maid from the Ming Dynasty appeared. What is it if she is not a ghost?Bu Zhenxin also felt chills running down his spine.

"Now the Chuxiu Palace has been evacuated..." Rao Shi sighed and said: "Originally, we couldn't handle such a big thing. But it was a very unfortunate coincidence that the imperial court sent a letter to invite people. The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain came to catch ghosts, but the Celestial Master wandered away and did not return for many days, and his whereabouts were hard to find. The head of Maoshan Baiyun Temple suddenly suffered another attack and became hemiplegic!"

Bu Zhenxin thought for a while and said, "Perhaps these Han mages are deliberately trying to push it away?"

"That's not true. Longhu Mountain also accepts rewards from the imperial court, so it's not like deliberately shirking it. As for Maoshan... it's hard to say." Rao Shi sighed and said, "Under the circumstances where the experts from Maoshan and Longhu Mountain cannot be invited, , Prince Li reported us up and asked us to catch ghosts. Master Bu, if we fail this time, I’m afraid you and I will not have a good life."

Bu Zhen didn't know the importance of this matter in his confidence, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to clasp his fists: "Bu Zhenxin serves the court and will not give up even if he is killed. But Taoist Priest, I know nothing about catching ghosts. I only have a barbarian weapon." When the time comes, I can only follow your lead."

Rao Shi nodded and said: "Catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits is originally my profession, but there are many taboos in the palace. Alas... just take it one step at a time."

The two argued for a long time, then went out together to report to Prince Li's house.

Prince Li met Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi in the study.

After being warned, Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi retreated and rested in a courtyard of the palace, waiting for the opportunity to enter the palace.

At dusk that night, Prince Li changed into casual clothes, took a small sedan, and took Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi to the palace.

Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi, each with their own companions, were also sitting in the sedan chair.

The sedan curtains were thick and blocked the light completely, leaving the sedan in darkness.

There were no words along the way, just moving forward quietly.

Because he had been given instructions in advance, Bu Zhenxin sat in the sedan obediently and did not dare to lift the curtain to look outside.

"We're here, stop." Suddenly, a low voice was heard, and the sedan stopped.

Bu Zhenxin and Rao Shi got off the sedan and found that there were several more royal guards and old eunuchs beside Prince Li, and they were whispering.

Looking at the footing, it is a large courtyard, with countless palaces, rich and noble, but not a single person.

It was already dark at that time, but countless lanterns illuminated the yard.
