Ye Miaoyun understood Jiang Xianya's meaning and quickly asked, "Is this talisman... very powerful?"
Jiang Xianya nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, the patterns carved on it have the effect of warding off evil and disaster. As for the human figure on the back, it is indeed not a god or Buddha, but a statue of the Ye family ancestor. This ancestor of the Ye family must have been a cultivator, and an enlightened one at that, so the amulet he personally crafted and passed down can protect the Ye family bloodline."
As Jiang Xianya spoke, she glanced at the female ghost Xu Qianniang, who had already secretly disappeared into the distance.
"Logically speaking, ghosts are very afraid of sunlight and cannot take shape during the day, otherwise they will be scattered. But Xu Qianniang can still appear. Although her power has been weakened and she has become somewhat weak, it is still very difficult."
"I suspect it's also due to the power of this talisman. When Xu Qianniang died, she was clutching the talisman in her hand, and her blood dripped onto it. The moment she died must have been the moment when Yin and Yang intersected, so she gained the power of this talisman."
“This was your cousin’s protective charm, but it ended up in Xu Qianniang’s hands. Although she didn’t kill Xu Qianniang, her death may be related to him,” Ye Miaoyun said in a low voice.
Jiang Xianya nodded upon hearing this: "Let's wait and see how things develop, and go back to wait for news. If this is a frame-up by someone trying to destroy the Ye family, I will absolutely not let him succeed."
Xu Qianniang was clearly not killed by Ye Qingze, yet she hated Ye Qingze to the core.
The moment Ye Qingze appeared, Xu Qianniang had murderous intent towards him, but her power was very weak during the day, and she was unable to cause any real harm to Ye Qingze.
Her soul wandering through other people's bodies only made Ye Qingze feel a little cold, which was quite refreshing in the summer.
What made Xu Qianniang want to kill Ye Qingze?
If I weren't there, would Xu Qianniang, who hates Ye Qingze to the bone, have gone on a killing spree against the Ye family?
There are many ways for people in this world to harm others.
If ghosts are used to harm people, then there will be no way to investigate and no way to prove it since the dead are dead.
Those evil people know many spells and often use evil spirits to harm people.
Therefore, every ten years, the disciples of the Taiyi Sect would go down the mountain in full force to kill those evil people and restore peace to the world.
However, in recent years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become increasingly scarce, and fewer and fewer Taiyi disciples are cultivating the righteous path, and their strength is not as great as before.
On the contrary, those who practice evil arts, and even use human blood and essence to cultivate, have not suffered any loss in strength.
After the mother and daughter left, Qi Jiu, who was standing not far away, gently tugged at Qi Chengshuo's sleeve: "Chengshuo, what if someone sees that the Ye family took me in and deliberately tries to mess with them? Although I have only been in the Ye family for a few days, I have had a lot of contact with Ye Qingze. This young man is incredibly talented and full of righteousness. He is a promising talent. He will be going to the prefectural city to participate in the autumn examination this year. I think he will definitely pass. If I implicate them, I will feel uneasy."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chengshuo glanced at Qi Jiu and said somewhat helplessly, "Uncle Jiu, the Ye family's situation is now more than just taking you in. Don't forget, you've already married Ye Miaoyun and are now the Ye family's son-in-law."
Qi Jiu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment he sighed and said, "Because there was no wedding ceremony, I didn't think of this matter for the time being."
Qi Chengshuo couldn't help but shake his head; his ninth uncle really had a big heart.
But it's precisely because Uncle Nine has this kind of temperament that he's been able to survive until now.
"Chengshuo, can you help me investigate and see if someone is deliberately targeting the Ye family? That old man forbade you to help me, but he didn't forbid you from helping others, did he?" Qi Jiu turned his head and asked.
"His Majesty only forbids members of the royal family and court officials from helping you, but he doesn't forbid me from helping others." Qi Chengshuo paused slightly as he spoke, "However... the matter of Ninth Uncle ordering him to marry Ye Miaoyun will soon be reported to the emperor, and we don't know what decision His Majesty will make then."
Qi Jiu's expression turned somewhat ugly upon hearing this, and he said in a deep voice, "All land under heaven belongs to the king. As long as I remain in the Great Yan Dynasty, I will only be bullied by that old man. If he really provokes me, I will leave the Great Yan Dynasty."
The world isn't just the Great Yan Dynasty; he can go to the western kingdoms. The closest one to the Great Yan Dynasty is the Western Kingdom of Piaoqi.
"This is something Uncle Jiu can think about, but the Emperor won't let you leave the Great Yan Dynasty. If you fall into the hands of an enemy country, they will use you to threaten the Emperor, so..."
Qi Chengshuo was interrupted by Qi Jiu before he could finish speaking: "So... he would rather kill me than let me leave the Great Yan Dynasty."
Qi Chengshuo remained silent upon hearing this.
Qi Jiu shook his head dejectedly: "Forget it, I can't escape it. If I'm really pushed to the limit, I'll just take my head or my life. The Ye family has been kind to me, and I can't repay kindness with enmity and drag them down with me."
"Don't worry, Uncle Jiu, I'll send someone to investigate." After saying that, Qi Chengshuo comforted Qi Jiu for a few more minutes and then sent him back to the Ye family.
The Ye family is in complete chaos. Everyone is worried about the health of the old master Ye Jinghuai, as well as Ye Qingze who has been taken away by the government. Even when a person suddenly appears next to Qi Jiu, no one cares, because they are too busy taking care of themselves.
"Miss Jiang, this is one hundred taels of silver. Please help me with my question." Qi Chengshuo found Jiang Xianya and handed her a purse containing exactly one hundred taels of silver.
Jiang Xianya had Qi Chengshuo squeeze out a drop of blood, mixed it with cinnabar, and then had Qi Chengshuo extend his hand. She drew a special talisman on his palm, and the next moment, a magical scene occurred. The talisman actually emitted a faint light, and through this talisman, Jiang Xianya saw some things that had happened to Qi Chengshuo in the past, and they were related to the bronze mask.
In her previous life, Jiang Xianya was a genius of the Taiyi Sect. She not only created some talismans, but some of these talismans also had special functions.
Take this talisman for example. Once triggered by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it can rewind time and allow people to see what happened in the past.
This tactic further convinced Qi Chengshuo that Jiang Xianya was a member of the Taiyi Sect.
Only the mystical arts masters of the Taiyi Sect are this powerful.
Everyone has their own secrets, and he did not ask Jiang Xianya, as a disciple of the Taiyi Sect, why she appeared in Qingya Village.
As the light slowly faded, the talisman in Qi Chengshuo's palm also disappeared.
In this world, spiritual energy is scarce. Jiang Xianya used her own soul power to drive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into this talisman, which consumed a lot of her energy, and her face was slightly pale.
