Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

Originally they heard that there were evil spirits in Chang'an City, Ye Zi and Gu Yan suspected that someone was secretly playing tricks.Now it seems that that person is probably Wen Yi.

However, why did that person do this?

Wen Yi has always been dissatisfied with Gu Yan and Ye Zi because of the affairs of Princess Changning, but Ye Zi happens to be transformed into a grass and tree. Is all this just a coincidence?

Guang Xuzi was still bragging about how many demons he had taken in and how capable he was, but Ye Zi hadn't paid much attention to it.He thought for a moment and said: "You are welcome, Taoist priest. If you insist on this, can you agree to the next request?"

Ye Zi paused, and said seriously: "I want to get rid of the demon together with you."

Guang Xuzi obviously didn't expect him to say that, hesitatingly said: "This..."

Ye Zi asked, "Can't you?"

Guang Xuzi said: "It's not that it's impossible, it's just that removing demons requires hard work, so what's the point?"

Ye Zi said sincerely: "The Taoist priest doesn't know something. Since I was young, I have been very interested in the theory of ghosts and gods. I admire you the most, a mage who subjugates demons and demons. It is a fate to meet you this time, so I want to see your descending with my own eyes." The heroic figure of demons and demons, I hope Dao Chang will fulfill my wish."

His flattery made Guang Xuzi very useful, Guang Xuzi stroked his beard happily, pretended to hesitate for a while, and then said: "Okay, the poor Taoist will make an exception and allow you to follow."

Ye Zi thanked him again and again, and pretended to be distressed: "It's just that I had some conflicts with little general Wen Yi not long ago. If he recognizes me, it will definitely cause trouble for the Taoist priest. I'm going with you, I'm afraid You have to dress up a bit."

Guang Xuzi waved his hand, and said: "You don't need to be so troublesome, Pindao is the best at disguising your appearance, as long as you change your appearance a little, you are guaranteed to be unrecognizable by your closest relatives."

What he said made Ye Zi a little surprised, and said quickly: "Then thank you, Daoist."

Half a day later, Guang Xuzi arrived at the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Guang Xuzi explained to the gate guard the purpose of his visit, and soon two servants came out, happily leading him and Xiaodaotong who were following him into the main room.The servant retreated to look for Wen Yi, and then Guang Xuzi turned to look at Xiaodaotong beside him.

Guang Xuzi proudly said: "Well, I'm right, no one will doubt you."

The little boy next to him is Ye Zi pretending to be.

The face that Guang Xuzi replaced for Ye Zi had relatively ordinary facial features, only the eyes were still clear and bright, a pair of peach blossom eyes were clean and beautiful.Guang Xuzi looked him up and down for a moment, and said bluntly: "This face is much worse than your own. If you look like this, I will definitely not answer you in the morning."

Ye Zi was speechless, just lowered his head and said perfunctorily: "Master, stop talking."

Guang Xuzi just shut up.

The two didn't wait long, and Wen Yi and Duke Huguo Wen Shuhou arrived in the main room soon.Ye Zi lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the two of them, and concentrated on serving Guang Xuzi, acting as his Taoist boy.

Guang Xuzi got up, and made a Taoist salute to the two: "The poor Taoist has met Duke Huguo and Little General Wen."

Gentle and kind: "The Taoist priest doesn't need to be too polite, please sit down."

When everyone was seated in the main room, Wen Yi said with a smile: "I sent someone to deliver a letter to the Taoist priest half a month ago, and you can be counted as coming today. The evil spirits have been raging in Chang'an City recently, and people are panic everywhere. I am waiting for your rescue."

Guang Xuzi murmured, stroked his beard and said, "Pindao has indeed noticed that there is a lot of evil spirits here since he entered the city. Don't worry, you two, since Pindao is here, he will try his best to help."

Wen Shuhou frowned slightly, and calmly sipped his tea.

Ye Zi groaned inwardly.

If what he expected was right, apart from him and Little Gray Bird, there were no other monsters in Chang'an City. The so-called ghosts and evil spirits were all illusions made by the Wen family.But Guang Xuzi didn't know this, and if he followed Wen Yi's words, it would arouse the suspicion of the two of them.

Ye Zi was worried, and he really listened to the gentle and kind words: "I heard that Guangxu Taoism is superb, can you demonstrate it to me?"

Guang Xuzi showed some hesitation: "This..."

Seeing that Guangxuzi seemed unwilling, Wen Yi rounded up the situation and said: "The Taoist priest Guangxu is famous far and wide. My father has admired the Taoist priest for a long time. It is rare to see him today, so I want to see the demeanor of the Taoist priest."

Wen Yi paused, and said again: "Before the Taoist priest came, I wrote a letter today, saying that I would invite a Taoist master to drive away the evil spirits in Chang'an City. The Taoist priest will follow us into the palace tomorrow to face the saint. In front of you, it is inevitable to show your profound Taoism, so let us practice it in advance."

He said this politely, but there was a hint of threat.Ye Zi's hand hidden in his sleeve was lightly clenched, and he couldn't help but sweat for the charlatan beside him.

If Guang Xuzi doesn't know any Taoism, if he speaks out as soon as possible, at worst he will be kicked out of the Duke Huguo's Mansion.But if he said no in front of Emperor Jinghe, he might be killed.

Unexpectedly, Guang Xuzi stretched out his long sleeves, stood up and said briskly: "In this case, the poor Taoist should be respectful rather than obedient."

Ye Zi was stunned, and saw Guang Xuzi's sleeves fluttered, and a few paper figurines with delicate features and lifelike expressions fell out.The paper figurine was cut out of ordinary rice paper, and its facial features were painted with paint. At first glance, it looks like a real person.

A few little paper figurines fluttered to the ground, and soon stopped moving.

Guang Xuzi walked around the paper figurine twice, chanted a few mantras in his mouth, swept the dust away, and shouted in a low voice: "Get up!"

The little paper figurines moved, slowly got up from the ground, and surrounded Guang Xuzi.

The eyes of Wen Yi and his son showed astonishment, and Guang Xuzi proudly said: "My paper man has a very high spirituality and can recognize demons and ghosts. In the past, I relied on them to distinguish monsters and catch them. However, they can do more than that. These."

Ye Zi clenched her palms tightly in her sleeves, so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.

Who would have thought that this charlatan could really catch monsters!

However, those few paper figurines just surrounded Guang Xuzi, and occasionally one or two looked at Ye Zi, but they didn't seem to notice anything strange.

Wen Shuhou asked, "What else can they do?"

Guang Xuzi pretended to be profound, and smiled without answering.It happened that a maidservant came in to refill some people's tea. Several paper figurines jumped up and jumped directly into the tray in the maidservant's hand. The maidservant let out an exclamation and dropped the tray to the ground.

But the kettle on the tray was lifted by a few little paper figurines and hung in the air.

Guang Xuzi scolded, and ordered: "I know how to scare people, why don't you come over and pour tea for the two adults."

The little paper figurine floated the teapot, flew to Wen Yi and Wen Shuhou's side, filled their teacups with water, and put the teapot on the table.

Wen Yi looked at the teacup in his hand, but didn't dare to touch it, and reached out to catch the paper figurine.

Only Guang Xuzi said anxiously: "Take it!"

The little paper figurines scattered like birds and beasts, turned into ordinary pieces of paper, flew back to Guang Xuzi automatically, and got into his sleeve.

Guang Xuzi accepted the paper figurine, and then he explained unhurriedly: "You two don't know, this paper figurine is attached to the evil ghosts and monsters refined by the poor, and ordinary people can't touch it."

Wen Shuhou asked: "Did the Taoist priest's paper figurine find out where the evil spirit is?"

Guangxuzi seemed to have been prepared, and replied: "Pindao just asked them, but we just came here, and the scope of the paper man's exploration is limited. It may take a while to find out where the evil spirits are."

Wen Yi said first: "But if it's too late to find out where the evil spirit is, what should he do if he runs away?"

Guang Xuzi said: "What the general wants is for the monsters to leave Chang'an City. If they run away, Pindao will cast a spell on the city gate so that monsters dare not enter again?"

"No." Wen Yi replied without thinking.

Wen Shuhou glanced at him warningly, and asked: "If we know where the evil spirits live, can the priest subdue them directly?"

Guang Xuzi thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

Gentle and kind: "The monster is now living in the Palace of Prince Rui in Chang'an City."

Ye Zi's hands trembled, and the lid of the cup made a crisp sound when it hit the rim.

They... came after him.

It was only then that Wen Yi noticed the little Taoist boy behind Guang Xuzi. He looked at Ye Zi suspiciously, and suddenly heard a woman's voice outside the door: "Miss, the master and the young master are seeing guests, you can't go in."

"I don't care, I'm going to see my brother, he promised to play chess with me, brother, brother!"

Wen Shuhou's face darkened: "What happened to her?"

Wen Yi looked a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't blame me, I forgot to promise to play chess with her in the afternoon, so I will let her—"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the main room was pushed open, and a woman rushed in.

The woman was wearing brocade clothes, but the clothes were stained with a little dirt, and her hair accessories were messy.She ran to Wen Yi and cried, "Brother, don't you want Zhi'er? Why don't you come and accompany me, Zhi'er doesn't want to be locked up alone."

Ye Zi's eyes fell on her with a complicated expression.

This person is Wen Zhi, Princess Changning.

Wen Zhi's expression is crazy now, her eyes are wandering, she is not at all as quiet and pleasant as Ye Zi saw her before.

If she didn't know that she was pretending, I'm afraid she would have really fooled her.

A well-behaved beauty turned into what she is now, Ye Zi felt emotional, but Wen Shuhou slapped the table impatiently: "What are you doing, didn't you see any guests here? Hurry up and get out!"

Wen Zhi was taken aback by him, and quickly hid behind Wen Yi: "I'm afraid, brother, he's a bad guy."

"I'm your father!" Wen Shuhou yelled angrily, and immediately realized that he had lost his composure, and turned to the maidservant, "Help the young lady down."

"I won't go!" Wen Zhi fell to the ground and said crazily, "Why can you stay outside, but I can only be locked in the room, I want to stay here!"

Wen Yi went to pull her: "Zhi'er, my father and I are accompanying the guests."

Wen Zhi refused to listen: "I don't care, I don't care, I won't leave!"

"You—" Wen Shuhou was so angry that he couldn't breathe well, and was about to raise his hand to slap her, but Wen Yi grabbed her.

Wen Yi said anxiously: "Father, you can't blame Zhi'er for this matter, she was killed by evil spirits!"

Wen Shuhou took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Forget it, take her down."

Wen Yi quickly responded, and helped Wen Zhi out the door.

Before leaving, Ye Zi raised his head and glanced at Wen Zhi, who happened to look back at him and Guang Xuzi.Wen Zhi's eyes were bright and clear, but when those eyes met Ye Zi's, they immediately became stupid and nameless again.

Wen Yi took Wen Zhi away, and then Wen Shuhou turned his head to Guang Xuzi and said: "Master, you saw that the little girl was killed by the evil spirit in Prince Rui's Mansion, you must catch the evil spirit for the old man."

Ye Zi was silent, thinking clearly that it was Wen's family who made Princess Changning "crazy", so why did the blame fall on him.

Guang Xuzi sighed, and expressed his determination to catch the evil spirits and save the princess.

Wen Shuhou didn't say anything more, and ordered the servants to present some silver taels to Guang Xuzi, and said: "The Taoist priest will go back to the inn to rest first, and the old man will take you into the palace tomorrow morning. At that time, you can just tell the holy majesty about monsters." It can be done in Prince Rui's Mansion, and the rest can be left to the old man."

Guang Xuzi's eyes lit up a lot when he saw the reward, without any hesitation, he immediately agreed.

Wen Shuhou sent someone to send the two of them out of the Duke Huguo's mansion.

Ye Zi followed Guang Xuzi out of the Duke Huguo's mansion, feeling a little uneasy.Originally, he just wanted to follow Guang Xuzi to find out what the Duke Huguo's mansion was plotting, but he didn't expect that their target was Prince Rui's mansion.

Was his previous identity exposed?

Ye Zi couldn't figure out what went wrong for a while, but now Wen Shuhou and Wen Yi tried their best to get Guang Xuzi to go to Ruiwang's mansion to collect the monsters, and they came for him.

Moreover, most likely he wanted to use him to avenge Gu Yan for causing Wen Zhi to commit "madness".

The two tricks that the Taoist priest showed in the mansion just now seemed to be somewhat genuine, but if he really knew how to eliminate demons, why didn't he find out his identity?

Ye Zi was thinking about finding a reason to get out first to be on the safe side, when he suddenly saw something slipping out of the sleeve of Guang Xuzi's back.

Ye Zi stepped forward suspiciously, picked up the thing, it turned out to be a silk thread.

Guang Xuzi received the reward, and was in a good mood, not noticing what happened behind him.Ye Zi gently lifted the silk thread and pulled it, a small paper figurine fell out from Guang Xuzi's sleeve.

Ye Zi: "..."

Is that how he manipulated the paper figurines just now?
