Chapter 542 Crow Spirit
The little palace maids are all afraid of ghosts. They live in the palace, and there are only two men in the palace. The rest are either women or eunuchs. Just as Shi Aiguo himself admitted that eunuchs cannot be considered men.
As a result, almost all palace ladies, whether eunuchs or palace maids, believe that the yang energy in the palace is not strong, and the yin energy is too strong. If the yin energy is too strong, it will naturally lead to ghosts and monsters.
It's okay to be close to the emperor and the prince. The emperor and the prince are masculine and can protect them. However, in places like Lixia Palace, there are only a few women, and the surrounding flowers and trees. Wouldn't it be easier to have ghosts and monsters? The little palace maids are afraid, and they can't blame them.
Wu Meiniang asked them to put the candles on the table, and more than a dozen candles illuminate the room. She said, "Let me find someone to do rituals? But there are rules in the palace that witches cannot enter the palace! Besides, because of our small Lixia Palace, it is impossible for the palace to find someone to come in to do it."
A little palace maid suddenly said, "Sister Wu, isn't your uncle a great sage? He has the ability to understand the world, otherwise he would ask him to do rituals?"
Other little palace maids also said, "Yes, yes, please come to the palace. Once he does this, no matter whether it is a ghost or a demon, he can be driven away. Then will we be safe?"
The little palace maids were all confused, just afraid of ghosts and just wanted to drive them away, but forgot to ask the ghosts why they ran into Wu Meiniang's house and why they called themselves ghosts!
Wu Meiniang looked at the trembling little palace maid around her and asked, "What the hell is that? I was too scared just now and didn't see clearly. Have you seen it clearly?"
The little palace maids looked at each other, look at me, look at you, and shake their heads together. When Li Zhi ran out, the little palace maid who was scared to fall to the ground said, "I didn't see clearly. We came in a hurry and ran in a hurry. We came from the hall again, without lanterns or candles, so we didn't see clearly what the hell was. I just thought this ghost was black and looked very scared!"
Another little palace maid also said, "I saw it a little bit clearly. This ghost has two fangs, white, and opens his mouth and screams strangely, which is so scary!"
Wu Meiniang asked again: "Do you see clearly what kind of clothes he is wearing... what kind of skin he is wearing?" Saying things a little scary, so that they can scare them and make them dare not recall them. They can only talk nonsense based on their imagination. As long as they talk nonsense, they will definitely not be confused by the prince's head.
The little palace maids shook their heads together, it was dark and so panicked. They were all little girls who had never experienced the world. They were just afraid. How could they pay attention to what kind of skin the ghost was wearing? It was scary enough to think about it!
Wu Meiniang pretended to be angry and said, "You are really, why don't you even see what the ghost looks like or what kind of ghost skin you wear? Then even if my uncle is invited, he can't do anything to exorcise the ghost. He doesn't even know which ghost it is."
The little palace maids felt very wronged and thought to themselves: "You didn't see clearly, why are you just blamed us? That's a ghost, how scary, who dares to look at him!"
Wu Meiniang finally put her heart in her stomach. As long as no one can doubt the prince's head, the rest is easy to deal with, it doesn't matter. Just by scaring, others can shut their mouths!
Just as I was about to scold these little palace maids again, leaving a little "unbearable memory" fear to their weak hearts, I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Mei Niang, you died so miserable, I'm sorry for you!" The sound turned out to be Li Yiren who was back!
Wu Meiniang was stunned and thought to herself, "Aren't she leaving? She was taken away by the palace maids, why are she back again? Could it be that she is not at ease with me?" She was quite moved. It seemed that her future aunt was still good to me. If someone else had changed to it, she would just die a palace maid. Who would take her seriously?
This time, Li Yiren ran back without even sitting in the small chariot, followed by a large group of small eunuchs and palace maids. The eunuch leader was still shouting, "Your Highness Princess, don't run away, be careful to fall!"
Li Yiren walked halfway, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt sad. She was not good at learning her skills, and she actually "killed" Wu Meiniang. She had never harmed anyone else in her life, and she had never even thought of harming others. But someone died at her hands tonight. How could she not be sad?
She asked someone to teach the female doctor in the palace, and she jumped off the chariot. She ignored the ground and did not allow the palace maids to hold her up and run all the way, and came back to see Wu Meiniang!
Wu Meiniang quickly came out of the room and shouted: "Your Highness, Princess, I... I am fine. There was an accident just now, but I escaped the disaster!"
When she suddenly saw Wu Meiniang appear at the door, Li Yiren screamed in shock and was shocked. She thought Wu Meiniang was dead, but she did not die in the end!
As he stopped, Li Yiren asked in fear: "Mei, Mei Niang, you, are you humans or ghosts?"
Wu Meiniang greeted him and said, "I am naturally a human being, but I saw the ghost just now. Fortunately, the ghost ran away. Now it is safe for the time being... However, your highness will come less in the future, so as not to scare you!"
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "Don't come again if you have nothing to do in the future. Even if there is no one under the bed, you scrape me to the extreme pain!"
Li Yi stroked his chest with his hands and said, "It's good that you're fine, Mei Niang! But what the hell, are there ghosts here?"
The eunuch leader followed and shouted in a jealous voice: "Oh, no wonder the people in the Wu Palace just now had their anger. The villain was still strange. How could scraping a person's life be scraped? It turned out that he had hit an evil person and was entangled by a ghost!"
Everything was immediately best explained. Wu Meiniang didn’t need to make up the reason, but the eunuch leader explained it clearly for her!
"Ghost, did you hit a ghost just now?" Li Yiren was also afraid of ghosts. No one is afraid of ghosts these days. She was even more afraid of being young. Looking into the house, she didn't dare to enter the house again.
She didn't dare to go in, so Wu Meiniang naturally had no intention of letting her in. She came to Li Yiren and gestured, "When the princess was scraping the servant, I suddenly felt cold all over. A cool air penetrated in my heart, and then I didn't know the situation. I guess I was being put on the body by a ghost!"
It would be fine if he didn't explain, but when he explained, Li Yiren was so scared that he retreated. The little eunuchs immediately surrounded him and surrounded the little princess to protect her. However, the little eunuchs were also trembling all over and looked at Wu Meiniang timidly, afraid that she would pounce on her and bite her!
Wu Meiniang hurriedly said, "Princess, don't be shocked, that ghost has left. Now Meiniang is still Meiniang, not that ghost, that ghost has left Meiniang's body!"
Li Yiren was still a little scared, and she asked, "What the hell is that? Did he talk to you? How did he scare you?"
Wu Meiniang thought to herself: "If there were really ghosts talking to me, I would have been scared to death and I would have become a ghost!" She shook her head and said: "The ghost didn't say anything to me, but that ghost was dark and looked scary, but she didn't know what it was, and his voice was particularly ugly!"
As they spoke, the little palace maids in the house also ran out to greet Li Yiren. They each used their imagination to speak the black ghost in a terrible way. And they insisted that the ghost's voice was very unpleasant, and just listening to the sound could scare the person to sit on the ground. The little palace maid who fell personally stood up to prove it, which further increased the credibility of what they said.
Li Yiren was trembling and thought to himself: "No wonder, when I was in Mei Niang's house, I always felt something was wrong in the house, as if there was one more person. It turned out that it was not that there was one more person, but that there was a ghost in the house, which was so terrible. At that time, Mei Niang was attacked by a ghost, and I even scraped it to the ghost. Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have to be attacked by a ghost!"
After hearing the description of the little palace maids, the eunuch leader thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "We know what the hell is. No, he is not a ghost, and he is not a dark ghost, unless it is a Kunlun slave ghost, but there have been no Kunlun slaves in our palace before, so it must be this kind of ghost."
Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world at that time, an international metropolis, and there were all kinds of foreigners, and Kunlun slaves were one of them. In fact, Kunlun slaves were black slaves, and those who used Kunlun slaves were all wealthy families in the city. At that time, if anyone could take two Kunlun slaves to the streets, it would be quite eye-catching and fashionable. However, there was no such foreign slave in the palace of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yiren asked, "Isn't it a ghost? What is that?"
The eunuch leader said, "When the princess goes back, according to the villain, it should be a crow monster, with a black body and a bad voice. If it is not a crow monster, what can it be?"
Everyone spoke out together and understood. Now they all understood that it was a crow monster! There are many crows in Chang'an and they often fly above the palace. It is a very common thing. If it appears in a remote place like Lixia Palace, it is very likely!
Li Yiren murmured: "It's really unexpected that crows can become spirits and monsters." She pushed the little eunuchs away, came to Wu Meiniang, took her hand, and said: "Mei Niang, you can't live here anymore. You'd better move to my place. Let's be a companion, so that you won't be brought to the crow spirit again."
Wu Meiniang naturally didn't want to go to Li Yiren's palace. She was thinking about how to refuse, but the eunuch leader called out. Wu Meiniang didn't want to go, but others didn't want her to go!
The eunuch leader shouted, "Your Highness, you must not." He pointed to Wu Meiniang and said, "Mr. Wu Palace, this... is not what our family says about you, don't misunderstand it, our family is just talking about the matter. You were put on the crow spirit and had the mark of a monster on your body. Maybe that crow spirit will come to you. If you move with the princess, wouldn't you implicate the princess? This is absolutely not possible!"
Wu Meiniang was happy, as long as someone objected. The eunuch leader saw that she didn't say anything and thought she wanted to move to the little princess. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu Palace, our family will report this matter to General Shi. Let's find the master to get rid of evil for you first, and then say something else!"
Hurry up and pretended to be scared, Wu Meiniang said, "No, don't tell General Shi, what if he thinks Meiniang is an ominous person..."
The little palace maids behind her were also anxious. Wu Meiniang was always so kind to them. They were afraid that Sister Wu would have any accidents. Mr. Shi was cruel and often killed the palace maids. Maybe in order to avoid evil, she would kill Sister Wu again. Wouldn't that be a big mess!
A little palace maid hurriedly said, "Sister Wu's uncle, Lord Wang, is a famous great sage in the capital. Isn't it enough to ask him to do rituals for Sister Wu? Isn't it possible to be killed in Chengxiang!"
Another little palace maid also said: "If it doesn't work, you can go to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva, ask for blessings from God and Buddha, and then invite a magic weapon to put it in the temple. The crow spirit dares not come. Sister Wu is definitely not an ominous person!"
The little palace maids knelt down together and shouted, "Please beg your princess!"
Li Yiren thought to himself: "It turns out that the people in the palace are so afraid of Shi Zhongchen, but what is there to be scary about him? He is a very kind person!"
Of course, Shi Zhongchen was very kind to her, but he was not kind to the palace ladies at all. Even the little eunuch around him was looking forward to his death. When he was allergic to pollen in Furong Garden, no one wanted to save him except Wang Ping'an!
"Then, let Wubian do a ritual for Mei Niang!" Li Yiren thought for a while and said, "If you go to Lingyan Temple to worship the gods, you are afraid that your father will not like it. He doesn't want our palace people to always go to the monk temple. However, after the seventh day of the lunar month, the palace ladies will go to Ganye Temple to worship Buddha. Then Mei Niang will go together and ask for a magic weapon to ensure your safety."
Wu Meiniang said, "Ganye Temple? Can I go to Ganye Temple to worship Buddha? I'm afraid it's unruly."
Li Yiren shook her head and said, "Are you afraid that no one will take you there? This doesn't matter, just follow me!" As she said that, she looked at the house again and said, "But tonight, do you still dare to live here? How many days will you still be before the seventh day of the lunar month? Where are you going to live these days?"
Wu Meiniang lowered her head and whispered: "I was put on the body by the crow spirit. Although the crow spirit has run away, I guess others dare not take me in. I should stay here and light a few more candles. The monster is afraid of light, so maybe I dare not come again!"
Li Yiren nodded, and couldn't think of any other good idea, and said, "Yes, I just think your house is not bright enough. Maybe it's because of this that the monsters that attracted you. Just click a few more candles."
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"
The eunuch leader urged: "Your Highness, it's late at night, let's go back. Don't stay in this place of trouble, it's too unsafe."
Li Yiren comforted Wu Meiniang a few more words, and then he took the little eunuchs and palace maids to leave Lixia Palace.
After Wu Meiniang sent her out, she returned to her house. The little palace maids said they wanted to stay with her, but she said she didn't need it and sent them away.
