Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path

Chapter 491 Seeking help

Xiangguo Temple.

"Brother, you are back!"

Jingtong waited until Jingheng returned to Xiangguo Temple, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Jingheng still had to sit in charge of the temple so that he could feel at ease.

It's just that there is no way. Every year, Jingheng needs to enter the palace to participate in the royal sacrifice. At this time, most of the monks in the temple will enter the palace, leaving only Jingtong in charge.

With such a big secret hidden in Xiangguo Temple, Jingtong is extremely nervous at this time of year.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a commotion this time, and he immediately ran to the back mountain to call everyone back.

"Nothing happened in the temple, right?" Jing Heng nodded and asked.

"A small thing happened."

Jing Tong told Jing Heng about Sima Qitong drugging the Li family.

"Miss Sima's family has done this for Shizi Yun. I think it's deeply rooted in love?" Jing Heng narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully.

"Men and women in the world of mortals, there are many troubles." Jing Tong shook his head, not very interested in the love between these men and women.

"Has the temple been held accountable?" Jingheng asked.

"That's not true. The Yun family and the Li family only pursued the responsibility of the Sima family." Jing Tong said immediately.

Jing Heng nodded slightly, this matter has been settled, and it has nothing to do with Xiangguo Temple, and there is no need to pursue anything further.

"How about the secret passage?"

Jing Heng's expression became serious. Compared with the matter of Sima Qitong's drug administration, it was obvious that the secret way was what he was more concerned about.

"I tried several directions, but I still couldn't enter the Taihe Palace."

Jingtong shook his head slightly, his face was solemn, and he was not optimistic about the current situation.

Jing Heng frowned, and then asked again: "How about the secret way of Chonghua Palace?"

"The progress here is quite smooth, and we should be able to dig through it in a month or so." Jingtong replied.

Sima Xunqin left the palace and took away most of the palace people. The guards of Chonghua Palace are weak at this time, so it is a good time for them to attack.

"As soon as possible, Concubine Sima will return to the palace soon." Jing Heng nodded.

"Yes, brother!"

Jingtong immediately responded, he glanced at Jingheng, and said: "Brother, it is only a matter of time before the secret passage of Chonghua Palace is opened, the key is that we cannot enter the Taihe Palace, and it is useless to open up other palaces." ah!"

Only the Supreme Harmony Palace has the heaviest guards in the entire imperial palace. If there is no way to directly enter the Supreme Harmony Palace, their plan may not succeed!

Jing Heng frowned tightly and said nothing for a long time, why didn't he know about this matter.

But there is no way!

"Brother, we have to find a way to get the emperor to leave the palace!" Jing Tong said.

"It's easier said than done!"

Jing Heng shook his head slightly, Yu Wenchang would not even step out of the Taihe Palace except for going to court.

In the early years, he occasionally went to the harem, but in recent years, he has never even been to the harem.

How could it be so simple to let such a super otaku leave the palace!

"In the name of worshiping heaven?" Jing Tong asked unwillingly.

"The emperor will ask the crown prince to go on his behalf." Jing Heng shook his head, having been with the emperor Yu Wenchang for decades, Jing Heng also knew him very well.

"What should I do?" Jing Tong sighed heavily, there is not much time left for them!

Jingheng closed his eyes and was silent for a while, before he said: "I will find a way, you lead people to dig up the palace of Chonghua Palace first."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Jing Tong replied with some helplessness.

"Princess will come to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha in two days. Clean up all the rooms on the west side and stop receiving pilgrims." Jingheng instructed.

Both the emperor and the empress agreed to Yu Wenyu's departure from the palace, but they didn't want to make a big fuss and make the city full of storms, so this trip was not announced, but Yu Wenyu was asked to travel in a low-key manner.

With Jing Heng, the number one master in the world, in Xiangguo Temple, there is no need to worry about Yu Wenyu's safety.

"Princess coming?" Jing Tong was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses and replied, "Yes, I will arrange it."

"Well, if there's nothing else, you can go down first."

Jing Heng waved his hand and let Jing Tong go down first.

"Oh, by the way, brother, someone asked to see me today."

Jing Tong remembered what had happened, took out a name card from his pocket, and handed it over, explaining: "The person here is the new Minister of Rites, Master Chu, who came to the temple yesterday and said he wanted to see something."

"The new Minister of Rites?"

A figure appeared in Jingheng's mind, Chu Lianqing presented a golden Buddha at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he naturally knew about it.

It's just that he didn't expect Chu Lianqing to come to him.

"Bring him to see me." Jingheng asked after thinking for a while.

Now that Chu Lianqing has won the sacred heart because of offering the Golden Buddha, he should not be underestimated.

"Yes, brother."

Jingtong left the room to invite Chu Lianqing over.

Chu Lianqing waited in Xiangguo Temple for a day, and when he heard that Jingheng was back, he followed Jingtong immediately.

"Master Jingheng, please be polite."

Chu Lianqing clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Jingheng.

"Master Chu, please sit down."

Jing Heng bowed back and asked Chu Lianqing to sit down. He saw that Chu Lianqing's face was haggard, his brows were full of depression, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It seems that Chu Lianqing is in trouble!

"Master Jingheng, to be honest, I want to ask you for help with something."

Chu Lianqing sat down hesitantly, looked at Jing Heng and said.

"Lord Chu, it's okay to say." Jing Heng nodded slightly, but he was also quite curious about what happened to Chu Lianqing.

"Here, I don't know if the national teacher has any way to deal with ghosts?"

Chu Lianqing didn't directly talk about being entangled by the "female ghost", but first asked Jing Heng if he had the ability to solve this matter.

Speaking of it, this incident can be regarded as a scandal.

If Jingheng can't deal with the "female ghost", it's useless to tell him.

"Ghost?"

Jing Heng frowned. What he, the national teacher, was doing was pretending to be a ghost, otherwise it would be impossible to fool the emperor and queen mother.

This Chu Lianqing asked him if he could deal with ghosts, if he answered no, didn't he smash his own brand?

"The poor monk is blessed by the Buddha, and ordinary demons dare not approach him." Jingheng replied.

Chu Lianqing's eyes lit up when he heard this answer, and he immediately said, "Please ask the national teacher to save me!"

Chu Lianqing was tormented by the "female ghost" to the point of nervous breakdown. If this continues, even if the "female ghost" doesn't appear again, he might scare himself to death.

"I don't know what's the matter with Mr. Chu?" Jing Heng asked.

Although Chu Lianqing hadn't said anything yet, Jingheng already had a guess in his heart.

Over the years, many people have come to him to get rid of "ghosts". Jingheng knows some secret methods, coupled with his extraordinary martial arts and his status as a national teacher, he can often frighten people.

He has never seen a real ghost, but it is not uncommon to see people pretending to be ghosts.

He guessed that Chu Lianqing must have been plotted against by someone, and then mistakenly believed that there was a ghost at work.

"It's the way it is."

At present, Chu Lianqing's whole heart is on Jing Heng, and he immediately tells Jing Heng what happened to him.

"After that night, such a mark was left on my body, no matter what method I used, there was no way to remove it."

Chu Lianqing opened his skirt, revealing the bloody fingerprints inside.

"This……"

Jing Heng looked at the imprint on Chu Lianqing's body and listened to what happened in his mouth, his eyes were full of shock.

Throughout Jing Heng's life, he had never heard of such a thing.

Could it be that Chu Lianqing really met a "female ghost"?

"Let me see the bloody handprint."

Jingheng stepped forward to examine the imprint on Chu Lianqing's body carefully. The handprint covered his chest and heart. The color was bright red and looked strange, as if it was really imprinted by a female ghost.

"Is there no way to get rid of it?"

Jing Heng frowned, this time things seemed different from the past, it was a bit tricky!

"I've tried many methods, even I've already cut a piece of meat, but the color is still in the meat."

Chu Lianqing pointed to a small gap in his chest, and said without tears.

He has used many methods, and he even wanted to use a knife to cut off the meat.

But neither worked.

This imprint seemed to go deep into the skin and flesh, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.

Naturally, this tattoo cannot be easily removed. Even in modern society, using special potion and laser can only remove some colors. In the era of Yue Dynasty, it is impossible for anyone to remove this mark!

"This……"

Jingheng pondered for a while, and ordered the novice outside the door to bring a sharp knife.

Without seeing it with his own eyes, he still doesn't quite believe that such a mark really exists.

"Master, you are..."

Chu Lianqing looked at the sharp dagger in Jingheng's hand, swallowed his saliva, and asked in astonishment.

"Master Chu, please be patient for a while, poor monk, give it a try." Jing Heng looked at Chu Lianqing and said.

"Okay, but Imperial Master Jingheng, this position is on the chest, you have to be careful."

Chu Lianqing showed a troubled look on his face, but gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, and at the same time gave some instructions.

"Master Chu, don't worry, the poor monk will seal the surrounding acupuncture points and everything will be fine."

Jing Heng nodded slightly, put the dagger on the candle and roasted it, and then cut off the bloody handprint.

Just experimenting, Jing Heng didn't cut a lot of meat, only a little bit of meat.

The blood burst out, and Jing Heng wiped it clean. It can be seen that the bloody handprint is indeed very deep.

Unless all the flesh on the chest is cut off, there is probably no way to remove this mark.

But this place is above the heart, and the danger of cutting the flesh is very high.

Chu Lianqing covered his chest with a handkerchief, looked at Jing Heng with a pale face and asked, "I wonder if Master Guoshi can remove this bloody handprint?"
