The annual National Day has finally arrived.
According to ancient legends, when the Holy Kingdom was founded ten thousand years ago, the heavens and earth seemed to tremble. The sun, moon and stars shone brightly, birds and beasts sang in unison, and insects chirped and grass rustled.
A century ago, however, the Holy Kingdom faced an unprecedented crisis. The once peaceful and tranquil nation seemed to be disrupted by an invisible force.
The Holy Kingdom also lost its former peace and happiness in this sudden upheaval.
Every year on the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, countless evil spirits haunt the people, bringing them deep fear and unease.
This day, which should have been filled with joy and peace, was instead shrouded in an indescribable gloom, leaving the people feeling extremely oppressed and fearful.
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties would personally lead members of the royal family to worship the gods on this day, kneeling devoutly under the Kyushu Pagoda for a day and a night.
"Hua Xin, take some offerings to the temple of the goddess to make a sacrifice."
"Take this talisman with you as well."
Hua Xin took the talisman Ye Lanyin gave her and put it in the basket. "Yes, Madam."
"Go quickly and come back before noon."
"Yes, madam."
The sunlight grew increasingly intense, and Ye Lanyin paced anxiously back and forth inside the room.
I rubbed my hands together, a wave of unease washing over me.
"Knock knock knock".
Hearing the knock, Ye Lanyin hurriedly opened the door and saw Huaxin. She quickly pulled her inside.
"Come in quickly."
The sunlight outside was partially obscured, and the courtyard was filled with the eerie sounds of wind and swirling dust.
Whew...
rustling...
Ye Lanyin glanced at it and then quickly closed it.
That's terrifying.
“Madam, I just went to the temple of the goddess and found some traces of incense burning inside.”
"It must have been someone who went to offer incense recently."
Ye Lanyin went inside to check that all three children were asleep before coming out.
"Is someone offering incense?"
No one has been to that temple for a hundred years, so why would someone suddenly go there to burn incense?
"Yes, Madam, I think it must have been a kind person like you who went there."
Ye Lanyin's face warmed. Yes, it would be so nice if someone went.
As a woman herself, how could the goddess not love beauty?
Before she reached marriageable age, she happened to pass by that temple. For some reason, she always felt a suppressed sadness in her heart, so she ignored her parents and brother.
She resolutely ran inside.
Although the temple was clean, it had been lost for many years, and the doors and windows were broken, making it difficult to even find shelter.
She shed tears of heartache, and then personally took the bedding from the carriage to cover the Buddha statue.
The group worked until dark.
Afterwards, he used his own savings to hire someone to renovate the place.
Since then, he would go to offer incense every Spring Festival, and personally deliver some offerings and talismans on National Day.
This year, she got together with Wanwan, which is why she couldn't get away.
At this moment, outside the courtyard, the sky, which had been bright and sunny, was now filled with gloom, and ghostly sounds seemed to be ringing in one's ears.
Ye Lanyin's train of thought was interrupted, and she hurriedly ran to the back to protect the children.
whoosh whoosh...
A series of piercing sounds came from afar, striking each other.
The rain poured down, falling in large drops like a tsunami.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei moved tables and chairs over and tightly guarded the door.
The entire sky of the Holy Kingdom was shrouded in darkness, as if it were trapped in a vortex.
"Look, isn't that the Holy Kingdom?"
"Tsk tsk... How pitiful."
The people of the neighboring country saw dark clouds gathering on the horizon and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
"I wonder how many more people will die."
At this moment, the streets of Bianjing were deserted, and vaguely, clusters of black phantoms wandered and collided everywhere.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The door was slammed shut with a loud clang, striking right at the heart.
"Madam, the wind seems particularly strong this year. I have never seen it before, and there seems to be shouting."
Ye Lanyin nervously picked up Lin Wanwan and held her protectively in her arms.
"Quick, do you have enough talismans? Take some more."
Ye Lanyin took a few more talismans from the table and stuffed them into the two of them.
Before the two could react, they felt the door being pushed open by a powerful hand.
The gate was teetering on the brink of collapse; the two frail women couldn't protect it for long.
After trembling for a while, the door suddenly shattered with a loud bang.
Hua Xin and Hua Mei exclaimed "Ah!" and together they shielded Ye Lanyin behind them.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew into the inner room, carrying raindrops that pelted them, and everything inside was overturned.
Ye Lanyin hugged Lin Wanwan tightly, backing away repeatedly. She bit her lip hard and held her daughter tightly in her arms.
"Don't hurt my lady." Hua Xin opened her arms and spoke in a trembling voice.
Hua Mei drew her sword directly, pointing it at the mist at the entrance.
"Hehe, that's the taste... Hahaha...."
Suddenly, a white phantom appeared, standing out unusually in the darkness. It enveloped Lin Wanwan's small body like a mist and then hung high in the air.
Suspended in the darkness, raindrops fell on Lin Wanwan's chubby body, like needles piercing Ye Lanyin's heart.
"No, no, no, my child!" Ye Lanyin roared.
The white ghost laughed loudly, its saliva mixed with rainwater flowing all over the ground like a waterfall.
While asleep, Lin Wanwan sensed another evil aura and suddenly opened her eyes.
What is this thing? It's so ugly.
Why is it raining?
