Chu Jingyue’s talisman flew to the old master, she formed a hand seal, and suddenly asked, “Who made the soul-trapping formation?”
“You let me go, I can tell you anything.” The old master was afraid, he could feel the talisman absorbing his life force.
Chu Jingyue’s eyes sank, and she said lightly, “Then there is no need to say it.”
The Taoist seal in her hand was complete, and the talisman shone with golden light.
The old master aged at a speed visible to the naked eye, gradually becoming like a withered tree.
“No, don’t! Those are all my lifespans, mine!” The old master died with hatred, his eyes full of unwillingness and anger.
Wenren Si knelt upright, but his eyes were torn between reluctance and firmness. It was not until the moment the old master breathed his last that he kowtowed heavily.
The room was terrifyingly silent. Wenren Si refused to get up, and Chu Jingyue didn’t call him, but only said, “You can say whatever you want to say now, I can hear it.”
After she finished speaking, she turned and went out. Wenren Si slowly straightened up, his eyes red and wet, restrained and firm.
“Grandfather, I will always remember when you held me when I was a child, and said to me with a smile that I should protect my country like my parents when I grow up. I will always remember this sentence.”
Chu Jingyue stood at the door with the Weizhi sword in her arms, and Pei Feng hurried over and looked at the room worriedly, “Princess, is the King alright?”
“He’s fine, just crying.”
Pei Feng was shocked, the King was actually crying? He didn’t cry when he was injured and almost died.
“I didn’t.”
Before long, Wenren Si walked out with a cold face as usual. Pei Feng didn’t see any signs of crying, and looked around carefully.
Chu Jingyue raised her foot and walked forward, and said lightly, “Yes.”
Wenren Si didn’t want to argue with her anymore with a cold face, so he simply remained silent.
“Go help your mother, there are more physically demanding things tonight, I have to seize the time.” Chu Jingyue walked quickly, her expression as usual.
Wenren Si was shocked, she always remembered his mother’s affairs?
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “She is also your mother, at least for now.”
Chu Jingyue ignored him and quickly came to the small courtyard, which was still fragrant.
“You need to take your mother’s human soul out first, and then find the heavenly soul and earthly soul, and the three souls can be transcended after they are combined.”
Chu Jingyue took out a small ceramic jar that seemed ordinary, and Pei Feng said in a low voice, “The jar is so small, isn’t it too shabby? Our late Concubine deserves a gold and silver jar.”
“Then you come?” Chu Jingyue waved her hand, and Pei Feng hurriedly hid back in fear, “You come, you come.”
The consequence of Pei Feng’s talkativeness was that he and the King were driven out of the courtyard together. Wenren Si helplessly looked at Pei Feng with cold eyes.
Inside the house, Chu Jingyue placed the small porcelain jar in front of the spiritual tablet, and formed a hand seal with both hands.
“Purple micro yellow book, named Tai Xuan. Borrow the moonlight water, nourish the soul and soul. Collect!”
The lid of the small jar fluttered twice, Chu Jingyue stopped, and before leaving with the jar, she swept her long sleeves, and the soul-locking lamps in the four corners of the room fell, and the lamp oil splashed everywhere, and soon the hut burned.
She walked to the gate of the courtyard, and a raging fire had already ignited behind her, and the fire was soaring into the sky.
“I’ll go back to the mansion first, and deal with the bone ghost’s grievances tonight. By the way, put your grandfather in a coffin and carry it to the octagonal pavilion to wait for me.”
Chu Jingyue yawned. The original body was not as good as her former Taoist body after all, and a few small spells made her a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, she wanted to lean on Wenren Si to rest, but it was estimated that he would stay to clean up the aftermath, so Chu Jingyue could only go back by herself first.
“Pei Feng, you send the Princess back.”
Chu Jingyue returned to the mansion and settled the soul jar, and slept soundly for an afternoon before going to the Earl’s Mansion with Pei Feng again.
White silk had already been hung up in the Earl’s Mansion, and several girls who had been on the verge of death had also woken up.
Because the old master was seriously injured and returned to the mansion last night, the people in the mansion didn’t suspect anything about his sudden death. They also claimed that it was an accidental fire, and the matter of the life-borrowing bracelet was kept secret.
During the seven-day vigil, many families in Kyoto who still wanted to have contact with the Earl’s Mansion and the Qi Royal Mansion came to offer condolences one after another.
They didn’t know that what was placed in the mourning hall in the front hall was an empty coffin.
Chu Jingyue sat in the octagonal pavilion and looked at the sky, and saw Wenren Si walking over from the corner of her eye. She got up and said, “Wait, let the dark guards guard this area, I don’t want anyone to disturb me. Moreover, it’s not a good thing for too many people to see the bone ghost, and it’s best if you’re not there at that time.”
“I want to see.” Wenren Si said firmly with a deep look.
Chu Jingyue raised her eyebrows and sneered, “Still don’t believe me? Forget it, you can watch if you want.”
She reached out and gently covered Wenren Si’s heart, feeling the power from the life treasure, in case she had to make a foolproof plan.
But Wenren Si misunderstood, and grabbed her hand, “The coffin is parked next to it.”
He said with gritted teeth, what was this woman thinking? She was actually doing such a thing at this time?!
Chu Jingyue didn’t understand the meaning of his words, and only sneered indifferently, “Could it be that I’m afraid he will jump out and beat me?”
“You!” Wenren Si wanted to pull her away, even if she was powerful, he couldn’t let her play with and humiliate him, “Don’t go too far.”
Chu Jingyue was forced to separate from the life treasure, and her eyes flashed with displeasure. In the blink of an eye, she took out a talisman and stuck it on him, and Wenren Si couldn’t move instantly.
“The matter of the Earl’s Mansion has not been resolved, and you want to turn your face?” Chu Jingyue didn’t know what he was angry about at all. Even if Wenren Si didn’t know about the life treasure, she just touched it, and it wasn’t like she cut a piece of meat from him.
What was there to be angry about?
“The Earl’s Mansion is holding a funeral, and you are doing such outrageous things here, and you still blame this King for turning his face?” Wenren Si had a fire in his heart. If he could move, he would definitely reason with her properly.
Chu Jingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, outrageous things? Which thing was she referring to?
She wanted to ask, but the sky had completely darkened, leaving only a faint moonlight hidden behind the clouds.
A demon wind was blowing around, gloomy and cold, and the dark guards guarding the surroundings couldn’t help but shiver.
Strange, how could summer nights be so freezing?
Chu Jingyue felt the strong yin energy around her and started to calculate, and tore off the immobilization talisman by the way, and said to herself, “I calculated everything, but forgot about the celestial phenomena.”
Swish swish!
A rapid sound of breaking through the air sounded around, and black energy collided with the air outside the coffin, the black energy that belonged to the old master.
Chu Jingyue held the Weizhi sword and jumped out of the octagonal pavilion, standing firmly on the coffin.
Wenren Si’s veins were bulging, even if what his grandfather did was wrong, but since the person was already dead, how could he treat his body like this?
“You get down—”
“Get out of the way!”
Wenren Si’s voice was interrupted by a sharp voice full of coldness.
And this voice came from behind his ear, but it was not said to him.
Wenren Si looked at Pei Feng not far away, and saw that his eyes were full of horror and incredulity, and he understood.
The thing behind him should be the bone ghost that Chu Jingyue said.
Suddenly, something was placed on his shoulder, and Wenren Si’s eyes sank, and he saw three sections of white bones.
“Zong family blood relatives, all must die!”
