As soon as Shangguan Qingyue entered, he found that the old duke was the only one in the ancestral hall. Amid the curling sandalwood incense, the old duke looked very serious.
Shangguan Qingyue was not afraid of the old Duke. She loved to provoke and tease her grandfather the most. It was so funny to think about how angry her grandfather would be and how he would puff out his beard and glare at her.
Shangguan Qingyue pursed her lips, glanced secretly at the old Duke, and couldn't help laughing.
The old Duke coughed heavily twice and pointed to the cushion in front of the tablet. The center of the magic circle was right below.
"Go up there and kowtow three times to the ancestors of the Shangguan family."
Shangguan Qingyue nodded obediently after hearing this.
[My mother taught me! I can do it!]
The little guy walked to the futon and knelt down.
The moment her knees touched the cushion, Shangguan Qingyue's body shook and she felt numb all over, but it passed in the blink of an eye, so she didn't care.
However, the old Duke on the side was staring at Shangguan Qingyue's reaction all the time. Seeing that she just trembled, the old Duke's pupils shrank slightly, his breathing stopped, and his spirit became tense in an instant.
Shangguan Qingyue kowtowed three times in a proper manner.
at the same time.
The magic circle is activated.
The huge circle of light, carrying the talisman, curled up towards the center of the magic circle...
Outside the ancestral hall, Master Wugen and his disciples felt the signal, and at the same time they formed a formation and made seals, concentrating all their power on their fingertips. Nine rays of light gathered into one beam and shot straight towards the sky above the ancestral hall.
The beam of light transformed into a large net, trapping the entire ancestral hall tightly inside. Now, not even a fly could fly out.
Any evildoer inside will be burned by the magic circle, struggle violently, and then die in pain.
And these are things that mortals cannot see.
So Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu were outside, not knowing what had happened in the ancestral hall, and were still waiting for Xiao Yue'er to come out.
Even Shangguan Shu was telling Zhao Ying just a moment ago that he had found a Miao doctor who could cure the poison in her body and treat her oral disease, and perhaps even Yue'er.
In the ancestral hall.
The little girl covered her chest and found it difficult to breathe. She gasped for breath like a drowning animal, her eyes filled with pain and helplessness.
【Mother...Mother...where are you? 】
【Yueer feels so uncomfortable...】
【Yue'er is almost out of breath. 】
Shangguan Qingyue wanted to leave, but her legs seemed to be locked with chains, preventing her from moving. As she crawled, her face gradually turned pale, her dark eyes began to lose focus, and she finally lay gasping for breath on the ground.
Seeing this, the old Duke pointed at her and shouted, "Monster! You are indeed a monster!"
"Monster! Why don't you just surrender and accept your punishment?"
[Wuwu… I plead guilty! I plead guilty!]
Shangguan Qingyue's consciousness began to blur, and she couldn't tell whether it was reality or fantasy. She only knew that someone was asking her to admit her mistake...
Just admit your mistake...
As long as it makes her feel more comfortable.
But... what's the point of admitting fault?
The old Duke didn't expect that this little monster was so useless. It seems that he is not a very powerful monster.
Seeing her in so much pain, after all, she was his granddaughter. Even though the old Duke hated her very much on weekdays, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted at this moment.
He frowned and slowed down his tone, "Since you plead guilty, then tell us all your crimes one by one, so that we can atone for your sins!"
Shangguan Qingyue sobbed and stared at the old Duke with grievance, not knowing how to start.
This magic circle is quite powerful. She was affected by it because her power was too low at that time, but her soul was strong after all, so it only made her a little sad.
But she had never suffered such hardship since she was born. According to her master, she was extremely pampered.
Seeing this, the old Duke walked over with a frown and knelt beside her.
He kowtowed several times towards the tablet and said respectfully, "My dear ancestors of the Shangguan family, I hope you will bear with me if my descendants are unworthy."
"Although my little grandson Shangguan Qingyue is a demon, her cultivation is low and her age is young, so she can be educated. Today, she is willing to return to the right path and hopes that the ancestors will lend her a helping hand."
"May the spirits of our ancestors in heaven appreciate our regret and protect us!"
"In the name of the clan leader, I beg the entire Shangguan clan to share the guilt and eliminate the evil together..."
The old Duke thought very simply. This magic circle failed to kill Shangguan Qingyue for a long time, which meant that although she was a monster, she was not a very evil monster. She was similar to what he knew. In this case, he was not so afraid.
He was originally worried about the evildoer's influence on the Shangguan clan, but if he could alleviate Shangguan Qingyue's guilt as an "evildoer", it would also be a good deed...
Besides, her original sins were not that great. Since she was born into the Shangguan family, then as the ancestors and elders, they could share the burden and guarantee for the younger generation. Wouldn't her sins be less?
The Shangguan family, a prestigious family with a thousand years of history and a deep and blessed karmic connection, must be able to support this little evildoer...
The old Duke thought that it would be perfect if he could get rid of the "evil spirit" and save his granddaughter at the same time.
When it's done, I'll have a cute and well-behaved "new" granddaughter...
The old Duke didn't notice that when he said "the whole family shares the blame", all the candles in the ancestral hall trembled.
Outside, the originally clear sky was slowly filled with dark clouds, which gathered towards the ancestral hall.
Master Wugen and his disciples looked at the strange sight in astonishment.
Zhao Ying, Shangguan Shu and others felt that it was going to rain, so they quickly found a pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
As soon as I entered, everything froze...
It was as if it was completely covered in a barrier, and it was extremely strange and quiet.
Master Wugen pointed his finger in the direction of the ancestral hall, motionless.
Seeing this, the "big sister" lying on his shoulder bent his fingers over, pointed them at Master Wugen himself, and poked them into his nostrils.
Then he got off Master Wugen and twisted the eight disciples' hands towards Master Wugen.
One disciple had his belt forcibly stuffed into the hand of Wugen Mage, and another disciple's hand reached into Wugen Mage's robe...
After finishing, he climbed back onto Master Wugen's shoulder with satisfaction.
In the ancestral hall, after the old Duke finished speaking, Shangguan Qingyue was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears.
[I didn't expect that my grandfather, who seemed to dislike me so much, would still go to such lengths for me...]
Grandfather is so kind to me. I must repay him and never make him angry again!
The old Duke felt very relieved after hearing this.
His granddaughter is indeed teachable and not an unforgivable evil person!
For a moment, the grandfather and grandson, who had been at loggerheads with each other, put aside their past grudges, and the love between the father and the grandson reached its peak!
The old Duke said to Shangguan Qingyue, "Yue'er, speak!"
Shangguan Qingyue was encouraged by his grandfather, and nodded seriously with a puffed face.
【Um! 】
[Let’s start with my birth! ]
[Tens of thousands of years ago, Pangu created the world, and the chaos was divided into two energies: clear and turbid. The clear energy became the five paths: Buddha, Dao, gods, demons, and ghosts, while the turbid energy became me.]
[Once upon a time, I was also a little baby that everyone loved...]
