Chu Jingyue’s way of making Wenren Si believe her was to sneak into the Earl’s Mansion with him late at night.
“You insisted on seeing it yourself, don’t shout out whatever you see.”
Chu Jingyue took out a talisman and stuck it on his back, covered his eyes with her hand, and chanted a spell in a low voice.
“Heavenly gods and earthly ghosts, see them and you will see, hear them and you will not hear.”
The moment she finished chanting the spell, Wenren Si felt a burst of yin energy around him. When she moved her hand away, he subconsciously opened his eyes, and what he saw made his heart tremble.
The Earl’s Mansion garden was filled with black energy, some of the black energy floated away leisurely, and some charged around.
Wenren Si frowned, was it an illusion?
“Hiss…” A pain came from his waist, Wenren Si turned his face to look at the culprit, who had just taken back her hand that pinched him, as if nothing had happened.
Chu Jingyue smiled lightly, “All illusions can be broken by making your pain reach a certain level. If you still don’t believe what you see, why not cut yourself with a knife?”
“Your Highness, what did you see?” Pei Feng was also squatting on the roof, but the Earl’s Mansion in his eyes was no different from usual.
Wenren Si was about to ask him when he saw those black energy charging towards them.
“Be careful.” Wenren Si reached out to grab Pei Feng, but the black energy was scattered halfway.
Pei Feng touched his head and looked around, be careful of what?
Wenren Si looked at Chu Jingyue again, this time with a bit of trust in his eyes, and asked, “What are those?”
“They were all people when they were alive.”
Chu Jingyue counted the black energy in the courtyard, adding up to about twenty or thirty.
“According to what you said, won’t they be reincarnated? Why are they gathered here? Could it be…” Wenren Si instantly thought of what she had said to him during the day, could it be that these ‘people’ were trapped like his mother?
Then could he also see his mother?
Wenren Si’s eyes flickered slightly, and Chu Jingyue clicked her tongue, “What are you thinking? As you can see, even if you see it, it’s just a ball of black energy. Yin and yang are separated, people can’t see the soul, it will only appear in another form.”
Wenren Si’s eyes were a little lost. Even though the Grand Madam treated him like her own son, he also wanted to see the person who brought him into the world.
“These black energy doesn’t dissipate because they have grievances. They died with hatred and resentment, were abused and died from cruel torture, and their souls are difficult to leave and generate resentment. That octagonal pavilion is used to suppress the resentment of the souls, so that they have to be trapped here.”
Chu Jingyue jumped into the black energy, and Wenren Si followed immediately, and asked Pei Feng to stay on the roof to keep watch.
“What are you going to do?” Wenren Si followed closely, and the black energy surrounded him, he only felt cold all over.
Seeing him shivering uncontrollably, Chu Jingyue bit her fingertip and pressed a blood seal on his forehead.
“I let you see, not let you follow, I only temporarily opened your yin and yang eyes. You already have too much yang energy leaving your body due to the seal-breaking formation, and you can’t bear the passage of yin souls.”
Chu Jingyue sucked the blood from her finger, she wouldn’t use her blood if it wasn’t necessary.
Wenren Si turned his face away and said a little uncomfortably, “Thank you.”
“You suspect me less, that’s thanking me.”
Chu Jingyue’s words made him feel even more sorry. Wenren Si wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered in the next second.
“Don’t disturb me, I’m listening to their demands.”
Chu Jingyue closed her eyes slightly, and leaned her ear to listen carefully.
Wenren Si lowered his eyes and looked over, his lips seemed to still feel the friction of the fine calluses in her palm. He couldn’t find a second pair of such hands among the noble ladies in the entire capital.
“I heard clearly, they told me to get out.”
Chu Jingyue opened her eyes a little helplessly, she was scolded by ghosts.
If it were other ghosts, Chu Jingyue would definitely send them to the west with a thunder fire.
But the resentful souls in front of her—forget it, let them scold.
Chu Jingyue sighed and dragged the person next to her away, Wenren Si said in a low voice, “Really leaving?”
“It’s useless to save them now. I saw signs of a bone ghost forming here during the day, but now the bone ghost is no longer here.”
Wenren Si wanted to ask what a bone ghost was, but he didn’t remember to ask again.
“It’s not good! Come quickly! Something happened to the old master, go and notify the old lady and the Earl!”
Someone shouted in a hurry in the outer hall of the Earl’s Mansion, Wenren Si’s face sank, and he was about to go out to check.
Chu Jingyue pressed him into a hidden corner of the wall, and said in a low voice, “Do you want to tell everyone that you, the dignified King of Qi, are sneaking into the Earl’s Mansion at night?”
“Grandfather, he…”
“If you show up at this time, then I will have to deal with some things immediately.” Chu Jingyue looked up, and the calmness in her eyes soothed Wenren Si’s anxiety.
He pondered for a moment in a deep voice, and said, “What should we do now?”
“Wait.”
Shadows and lights intertwined in the Earl’s Mansion, and the servants hurried back and forth.
The two were close to each other in the dark corner of the garden, Chu Jingyue was single-minded and didn’t feel anything.
Wenren Si couldn’t help but start thinking wildly in his mind.
From Chu Jingyue’s background to the many things in the Royal Mansion recently, to…her person.
Her eyes were bright and clear, and she was as cold as an immortal, but she was also surrounded by killing intent from time to time.
“You should have many ways to solve these things, right?” Wenren Si asked in a low voice, suppressing his voice.
Chu Jingyue’s eyes fell straight on his heart, and she couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.
“Of course, but it’s because of you that I’m taking so much trouble.”
Wenren Si would often stay in the Royal Mansion if he wasn’t busy. The longer she was close to the life treasure, the more spiritual power she could absorb.
If the grievance Gu incident was really related to her life treasure, then the person who controlled the life treasure was also a Taoist, and it would not be easy to deal with.
She could only use the life treasure in Wenren Si’s body to continue her spiritual power. If something happened to the Earl’s Mansion, the Qi Royal Mansion would be difficult to stay out of it. In order to avoid unexpected events, she would take the trouble.
Wenren Si’s face suddenly turned red, and the hands that were originally holding her shoulders suddenly loosened, not knowing where to put them.
They had only known each other for a few days, was Chu Jingyue so concerned about him?
“You, you…” Wenren Si pursed his lips and didn’t know how to ask. If he put the girl’s love on the table, would she be shy?
Chu Jingyue found that the movement in the courtyard was small, and immediately withdrew her hand and walked out, “Go see your grandfather.”
“Okay.” Wenren Si followed behind, seemingly blushing, and looked at her with awkwardness.
Pei Feng, who had been lying on the roof to keep watch, was shocked when he saw his King’s expression.
Oh my god, didn’t the Princess just beat the King?
She beat him silly!
Wenren Si’s mind didn’t rest all the way until he arrived at the quiet courtyard in the backyard, and saw his grandfather lying on the bed with a pale face, covered in bruises and swelling, and with strange strangulation marks on his neck.
“These strangulation marks…are slender with puncture wounds, the strangler has five broken fingers on each hand, and the strength is very heavy.” Wenren Si looked down at his hand. If he only had two or three fingers on each hand, could he strangle someone like this?
“The bone ghost is seeking revenge, or a bone ghost with a lot of resentment, so its strength surpasses ordinary people. It is considered to be half-entered the ghost path, and it must be a ghost messenger if it is sent to the underworld.”
Chu Jingyue could confirm that what she thought was indeed correct with a glance.
The disappeared bone ghost really went to seek revenge, but what she didn’t expect was that it was seeking revenge for Wenren Si’s grandfather.
Was the octagonal pavilion’s suppression of resentment also related to his borrowing life?
