104. Chapter 104 It's Her Again



The emperor immediately pricked up his ears, very curious about how Mu Nanjin was related to the Phantom Thief Wanshou.

Unfortunately, Mu Nanjin set up a barrier after entering the room on the third floor, so even spoken voices could not be heard, let alone thoughts.

The emperor frowned, turned to Commander Gu and asked, "Can you hear Mu Nanjin talking? Is she a thief of thousands of hands now?"

Commander Gu shook his head, then pointed to his heart, then pointed to his mouth and said, "I can't hear it here, and I can't hear it here either."

What he meant was that not only could he not hear Mu Nanjin's inner voice, he couldn't even hear his normal conversation.

emperor:"……"

What on earth is this little girl doing? Why is she so secretive?

The emperor's heart felt like a cat was scratching it, making it itchy. He was so curious that he wanted to lie down at the door and eavesdrop.

Moreover, he discovered one thing: after not being able to hear Mu Nanjin's voice for a while, he actually felt a little uncomfortable.

He always felt that some things were out of his control, which made him very uneasy.

Mu Nanjin and the Phantom Thief Wanshou chatted in the room for half an hour before coming out.

She was humming a tune in her heart that the emperor and the others had never heard of before. The tune was quite nice, and one could tell that she was in a very happy mood.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said to Commander Gu, "This is the first time I see her so happy. This makes me even more curious. What does she want the Phantom Thief to steal?"

Commander Gu said: "I am stupid and cannot guess what Mu Nanjin is thinking."

The emperor sighed: "If I can't hear her inner voice, no matter how smart a person is, he won't be able to guess what she is thinking."

Commander Gu saw the emperor thinking for a moment and said, "Should we send someone to follow?"

The emperor asked: "Can you avoid being discovered by Mu Nanjin?"

"Of course not, but we can track the Phantom Thief Manju and find out what they are going to do."

The emperor laughed loudly: "You still say you are stupid, but I don't think you are stupid at all."

Commander Gu went out of the house and asked someone to follow the Phantom Thief Wan Shou.

The emperor already knew Mu Nanjin's purpose of stealing his only copy, and left with him after Mu Nanjin left the tea study.

After Mu Nanjin returned home, he said to Heitan, "In two days, you and Wanshou will go to do something."

Heitan asked: "What business?"

"He will tell you that you must obey his orders this time. If you dare to do anything wrong, your uncle will pluck out all your mane when he comes back."

Heitan is not afraid of anyone except Mu Qinyi: "Then you have to tell me whether you need to leave Beijing for your business, or how many days you will be gone?"

"We are leaving Beijing. How many days it will take will depend on how fast or slow you are."

"You're leaving Beijing? Can you wait a few days? I still have some things to do after I come back. You can leave after I finish them."

Mu Nanjin was curious: "What are you going to do?"

Heitan sneered: "Even what happened last time should be taken back from him."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

That night, the Seventh Prince's screams were heard from the backyard of his mansion.

“Ghost——”

The guards at the door quickly pushed the door open and walked in: "Master, are you okay?"

The seventh prince hid in his quilt and trembled in fear: "There is a ghost, a horse ghost."

"Horse ghost?" The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. "What horse ghost? There is nothing in the room. Master, you must be having a nightmare."

"Nightmare?"

The Seventh Prince carefully pulled back the quilt and looked around. After making sure that there was no ghost, he let out a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death."

"Master, we will stay here, you can continue to sleep."

The Seventh Prince did not want this to be spread out and people to laugh at him for being timid, and then be looked down upon by his father, so he waved his hand and said, "No need, you can just stand guard outside."

"Yes." The guards left the room.

The Seventh Prince lay back in his original position, and suddenly, the candlelight turned green.

The atmosphere in the room became gloomy, and then, the cries of horses dying tragically could be heard, which frightened the Seventh Prince so much that he hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran: "Someone, come quickly."

The guards outside the door remained indifferent.

The Seventh Prince stumbled to the door of the room, but the door seemed to be nailed shut and no matter how hard he pulled, it would not open.

Just then, a severed horse head came through the door, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

"Ghost, there is a ghost horse."

Then, more and more horses that had died tragically appeared in the house. Some had their hearts dug out, some had their eyes dug out, and some had their mouths grinning evilly at him. What was even more terrifying was that the horses could speak human language: "Give me back my life..."

“Ahhhh—ahhhh—don’t come over here. Don’t come over here.”

The Seventh Prince stood up in fear, drew out the sword on the bedside, and slashed with his eyes closed: "If you come over again, I will let you die a second time."

These words completely enraged the horse ghosts, and they pounced on the Seventh Prince and bit him madly.

"ah--"

The seventh prince screamed, but the shuriken couldn't hit Ma Gui's body at all.

He couldn't bear it and fainted, then was woken up by Ma Gui. He was tormented by them all night before he fainted completely.

The next morning, the steward saw that the Seventh Prince had not made any movement, so he knocked on the door and went in, only to see the Seventh Prince lying on the ground covered in blood.

"Master, Master..." the steward called out anxiously, "Someone, come and call the imperial physician, and send someone to notify the emperor."

Suddenly, the Seventh Prince's Mansion was in chaos.

In the palace, the emperor had just walked out of the Taijin Palace when he heard that something had happened to the seventh prince.

He hurriedly took a carriage to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and angrily said to the servants kneeling on the ground: "How did you take care of the Seventh Prince? The Seventh Prince's injury has not yet healed and he is injured again."

The next generation is afraid to lower their heads.

The emperor came to the seventh prince's bedroom and asked, "How is the seventh prince?"

“Horse ghost, horse ghost…” The awakened Seventh Prince huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging his body and trembling: “Horse ghost, there is a horse ghost.”

The doctor said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince was not only frightened, but also had many teeth marks on his body from being bitten by horses."

"The teeth marks left by a horse?" The emperor was puzzled. "He was bitten by a horse?"

The steward of the Seventh Prince's Mansion hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the guards were standing outside the door last night and did not see any horses coming in, nor did they hear the sound of horses, let alone the Seventh Prince's call for help. This morning, when I saw that the Seventh Prince had not gotten up, I went into the room to check, and found that the Seventh Prince had fainted on the ground."

emperor:"……"

"It's a horse ghost, father, it's a horse ghost..."

The seventh prince threw himself at the emperor like a madman: "There is a horse ghost who wants to kill me, there is a horse ghost..."

The emperor was frightened by him: "What is a horse ghost?"

"It's a horse that turned into an evil ghost to kill me..." The seventh prince shook the emperor's body excitedly: "Father, please save me, father..."

"Seventh Prince, you must not be rude to the Emperor."

The imperial physician and the chief steward quickly pulled the seventh prince away.

The emperor thought that the seventh brother was possessed by evil spirits, so he ordered the chief steward: "Go find the imperial master, go find the imperial master."

"yes."

The general manager immediately sent someone to Dengxing Pavilion.

The emperor asked with concern: "Grandmaster, how is the seventh son?"

"Haunted by the evil spirit of a horse." Feng Si Nan said to the Seventh Prince, "Seventh Prince, you killed too many horses, which attracted the evil spirit's revenge. Seventh Prince, you should eat less horse meat in the future."

The Seventh Prince said hurriedly: "I will give up horse meat. From today on, I will give up horse meat and never eat horse meat again."

"In addition to abstaining from horse meat, one must also accumulate virtue and good deeds, and the evil spirit of the horse will slowly dissipate."

The Seventh Prince was stunned: "Can't the Imperial Master drive away the horse ghost for me right away? Imperial Master, you must save me, please."

Feng Si Nan shook his head: "This requires you to really give up horse meat, then the evil spirits of horses will not come to you. However, there is one thing you don't have to worry about. They will only hurt you, but they won't kill you. But if you continue to eat horse meat, it's hard to say."

"I won't eat it anymore. I won't eat it again."

The emperor rebuked the eunuchs, "Did you hear me? From now on, the Seventh Prince is not allowed to eat horse meat. Anyone who violates this rule will be executed."

"Yes." The steward and the guards responded hurriedly.

Feng Sinan turned and walked out of the room, then looked back at the emperor.

The emperor realized that he had something to say to him, so he told the steward and the imperial physician to take good care of the seventh prince, then he got into the carriage and left with Feng Sinan.

"Does the Imperial Master have something to say to me?"

Feng Si Nan said bluntly: "The Seventh Prince's affair was done by the Horse King."

"Horse King?" The emperor was stunned. "The horse you mean?"

Feng Simon nodded.

"Isn't the matter between Lao Qi and it over? Why won't this horse let Lao Qi go?"

"Because the Seventh Prince has not learned his lesson and continues to eat horse meat, the Horse King must avenge his companion."

The emperor rubbed his aching head and said, "It was because I indulged the Seventh Brother too much that he brought about such a disaster. I should have issued an edict to forbid him from eating horse meat. It's all because I didn't discipline him strictly enough."

Feng Sinan said no more. After getting off the emperor's carriage, he got on his own carriage and returned to Dengxing Pavilion.

When they were not far from Dengxing Pavilion, two people suddenly appeared and blocked the way of the carriage.

One of them shouted loudly: "I, Jin Yangzi, greet the Grand Master."

The carriage stopped hastily.

The driver said to Feng Sinon, "Master, two Taoists are blocking our way."

Seeing that Feng Sinon didn't come out, Jin Yangzi said loudly, "Master Imperial Master, my husband and I would like to ask you to give us some medicine."

They had arrived in the capital ten days ago, but unfortunately they could not find a chance to meet the Imperial Master. They could only wait until the Imperial Master left Dengxing Pavilion.

Feng Sinan's eyebrows jumped, and he had a bad feeling.

He counted with his fingers and let out a sigh of helplessness: "It's her again."

Seeing that the Imperial Master was indifferent, Jin Yangzi said anxiously, "Master Imperial Master..."

"Go to Dengxing Pavilion."

Jin Yangzi and his Taoist partner showed delight, and quickly pulled their Taoist partner up to follow Feng Sinan to climb the Star Pavilion.

Feng Sinon knew that they were here to pray for a child, so he went back to Dengxing Pavilion and found some elixirs for them to take: "There will be good news in about a month."

Jin Yangzi asked in surprise: "Master, do you know why we are here?"

"Pray for a child."

Jin Yangzi said excitedly: "As expected of the Imperial Master, you know everything like the back of your hand."

His Taoist companion took out a silver note worth one thousand taels of gold from his bosom, and handed it to Feng Sinon with both hands of gratitude: "Thank you, Imperial Master, for the medicine."

Feng Sinan didn't bother to be polite with them. He took the banknote and turned back to Dengxing Pavilion.

Jin Yangzi and his Taoist companion left happily.

They were happy, but the Seventh Prince was miserable.

That night, Heitan went to scare the Seventh Prince again, and he would not be happy until he frightened him to death.

For seven consecutive nights, the Seventh Prince did not have a good sleep.

The guards wanted to protect the Seventh Prince, but they were unable to do anything because they could not see the evil spirit of the horse.

On the morning of the eighth day, the steward suggested going to Jingtuo Temple to burn incense.

"I have heard from the people that the new abbot of Jingtuo Temple, Jiayin, can not only pray for the dead, but also draw talismans to exorcise evil spirits. Many people say that the abbot's ability is comparable to that of the state master, and some say that he is the junior fellow of the state master. Master, I think you can ask the abbot to help pray for the evil spirit of the horse."

The Seventh Prince, who hadn't slept well for seven days, felt particularly weak: "Is this true?"

"Whether it's true or not, there's no harm in us going to see Abbot Jiayin, right?"

"Okay, prepare the carriage and we'll set off immediately."

The steward immediately went to prepare.

At noon, the seventh prince's team arrived at Jingtuo Temple.

When Jia Yin learned that the Seventh Prince had arrived, he brought the monks from the temple out to greet him.

The first time the Seventh Prince saw Jia Yin, he felt that he could be saved. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Abbot."

Jia Yin looked at the Seventh Prince and smiled, "I have met the Seventh Prince. The Seventh Prince came here today because he was haunted by evil spirits, right?"

"Yes, yes." The Seventh Prince was very excited: "Abbot, can you save me?"

Jia Yin made a gesture of invitation: "Please, Seventh Prince, follow me."

"good."

Jia Yin took the man to the backyard and said, "Seventh Prince, you know that you are not only haunted by ghosts, but also by demons."

"There is also demonic energy?" The Seventh Prince was stunned: "The Imperial Master only told me that it was ghost energy."

Jia Yin chuckled and said, "It seems that the Imperial Master has hidden something from the Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince was shocked and angry: "What's going on?"

"The Seventh Prince must have offended the horse demon, which led to the disaster."

"Horse demon?" The Seventh Prince immediately thought of the Horse King and said excitedly, "It is it, it is definitely it. I said it is weird, it is definitely not an ordinary horse."

"Oh? The Seventh Prince knows who the horse demon is?" Jia Yin looked interested. "I wonder if the Seventh Prince could tell me about it?"

"Of course, I hope you can collect it."

The Seventh Prince became very angry whenever he thought of the Horse King.

"If it is a monster that brings disaster to the world, I will definitely exorcise it. Please tell me its whereabouts, Prince Seventh."

The Seventh Prince thought for a moment and said, "It is Mu Nanjin's horse. It should be in Mu Nanjin's mansion right now. You will definitely find it if you go looking for her."

"Mu Nanjin? Please tell me her detailed address, Prince Seventh."

The seventh prince told Jia Yin where Mu Nanjin lived.

Jia Yin memorized the address, then helped the Seventh Prince to reincarnate the soul of the evil horse. He also gave the Seventh Prince some talismans for self-defense, and finally arranged a place for the Seventh Prince to stay in Jingtuo Temple tonight.

After arranging everything, at night he left Jingtuo Temple and came to the Mu Mansion mentioned by the seventh prince.

Mu Nanjin, who was watching TV series in the room, noticed something strange in the yard and suddenly opened his eyes.
