Chapter 304: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (VIII)
The young man who was holding the talisman was slightly hesitant in his movements. Occasionally, a breeze blew by, blowing up his sleeves, revealing a thin and weak white wrist, like a person who had just recovered from a long illness, but his spirit was particularly good.
There is an inexplicable sense of strange contrast.
Jiang Feng's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the malice in his eyes slowly faded away due to the pity that surged in his heart.
Oh, he's actually pitying a charlatan...that's outrageous.
But the man opposite him didn't show any cowardice. He slowly shook his head and said, "No."
Expected rejection, unexpected calmness.
Too much pretense...
This was Jiang Feng's first reaction. Not seeing the man trembling, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Even the strange feeling of pity in my heart stopped expanding and slowly showed signs of returning.
Jiang Feng raised his red lips subtly, feigning surprise: "Why doesn't it work if I use a different object to ignite it? Are you a fake sorcerer, deliberately deceiving the king?"
Sure enough, when hearing this, Yue Wu's face became a little gloomy.
“Bold!”
Even if he is a tyrant ruler, he still has a fierce majesty after being in a high position for a long time and will not allow those below him to make fun of him.
The smile on Jiang Feng's lips deepened again. He wanted to beg for mercy and take the person into his hands to play with slowly. However, the other party looked sick, but his little mouth was very talkative.
Yu Huo made an oath pointing to the heavens and loudly protested, "Of course not! My admiration for the king is like a surging river, never ending. How could I do such a thing as to deceive the king?"
The reason I said no is that everything has a spirit, and the tree is also a living thing. How can we burn it to death for no reason? And...”
Yu Huo paused for a moment and smiled, "Besides, I'm not lighting a fire out of thin air. I'm just exorcising evil spirits, so naturally I have to light the talisman."
Yue Wu's furious expression froze slightly: "Exorcism?"
Yu Huo put his hands behind his back and sighed, "That's right. Your Majesty, I traveled here and found that the yin energy here is quite strong, so I got off the car to investigate. I found that there are actually many wronged souls and evil spirits wandering around here.
They are all skinny and full of resentment. If this continues for a long time, they might turn into evil spirits.
I have heard that the king is going to build the Cloud Top Pavilion here. If such a huge project is completed, how amazing and worshipful it will be!
If Your Majesty, a man with great ambitions, comes to stay at the Yunding Pavilion in the future, and is entangled by such evil and his fortune is ruined, it will be a huge loss for our Ningguo!
That is why I have stopped here and lit the talisman to liberate the souls of the deceased. Your Majesty, please do not blame me for taking the initiative."
He spoke so sincerely that the anger that Jiang Feng had provoked in Yue Wu's heart disappeared completely in an instant.
His expression softened, and he pressed on, "Where is the ghost? Has it been liberated?"
Yu Huo looked embarrassed and pondered for a moment: "How many are left..."
During this time, the wind had begun to grow stronger, making his robe rustle, but his back remained straight, like a dagger out of its sheath, sharp and murderous.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed to Yue Wu's right: "There's a ghost right here! He looks only twelve or thirteen years old, with a big head and a thin neck. He's saying... 'Your Majesty, I'm so hungry~'"
Yu Huo's tone when he said this was strangely sharp, as if he was possessed by a ghost, and it made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Even the well-trained guards around subconsciously raised their hands to rub their shoulders, their hearts pounding.
Yue Wu's face paled for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, he saw the young man in front of him raise his arm a little higher, pointing at his head and suddenly exclaiming, "Ah! There's an old woman here. Her face is purple, and cold air is coming out of her open mouth. She keeps muttering, 'Cold, too cold~'"
"There's another one here!" Yu Huo took two quick steps forward in shock, exchanging a look with the stunned emperor. His voice trembled slightly, "There's another male ghost here. His hands are so rotten that they're covered in rotting flesh, and you can see the bones..."
What a coincidence, at this moment there was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground suddenly coming from the opposite side.
Everyone shuddered and looked towards the unfinished building, only to see a soldier viciously whipping the skinny man in front of him, cursing loudly, "You want to die! You couldn't even hold a rock steady, and you almost fell on me! Tell me, did you do this on purpose?!"
The man's expression was dull and numb. Even when he was whipped, his body swayed due to inertia and he didn't even try to dodge.
The palms of his hands hanging on both sides were rubbed by the stones and were bleeding. The appearance of this person seemed to successfully materialize Yu Huo's description just now.
Yue Wu didn't know why, but her heart felt like it was being pinched by a big hand, and it was lifted up halfway.
The next second, a shrill and terrified scream suddenly came from his side: "Ahhhhh—he's going to strangle you, my king, be careful!"
Yue Wu was so frightened that he took several steps back and subconsciously reached out to touch his neck. It didn't matter that he touched it, but the important thing was that he actually felt a chill on his skin.
But he still refused to believe it, maintaining his dignity as an emperor. He didn't fall to the ground, but just stumbled and asked, "Are you deceiving me? I can't see these things, how can you, a blind man, see them?"
Yu Huo regained his composure in an instant, raised his neck and exuded an unfathomable aura.
It was as if the crazy person just now did not exist at all.
"Your Majesty, although my physical eyes are blind, my divine eyes are still there, allowing me to see what ordinary people cannot. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can make them reveal their true forms immediately, and Your Majesty will know once you see them."
After obtaining the emperor's permission, Yu Huo took out a piece of light yellow paper under Xiao Zhuzi's suspicious eyes and whispered softly: "Wandering soul, where can it survive? The boy sends the soul away, and the possession is safe..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Huoteng stretched out his hands and pressed them against the yellow paper. Two blood-red handprints instantly appeared on the paper. Then he rushed to Yue Wu in a few steps and raised his hands to strangle the other person's neck.
The soldiers were all frightened and stood still without reacting. No one moved.
Yue Wu was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with her mouth wide open, staring at the two blood-red handprints, unable to utter a word.
Then, Yu Huo raised his other hand and grabbed his wrist fiercely, shouting in a deep voice: "Get out of here!"
Then after some pulling with both hands, Yu Huo was pulled back by "himself".
Yue Wu seemed to have just reacted, waving his hands in the air as if trying to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything. He could only shout desperately: "Master, Master, save me..."
Yu Huo said "hmm" lightly, took out a handful of talismans from his arms and threw them out. The talismans covered with white phosphorus burst into flames when they touched the paper with the blood-red palm printed on it, and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. The evil spirit that wanted to harm you has been shattered by me, and will never be reborn!"
When Yue Wu heard this, his tense body relaxed instantly, his arms drooping weakly, without any trace of the contempt and arrogance he had just shown.
"Master, why am I still so cold?"
Xiao Zhuzi shivered and thought to himself, it's almost dark, and the night wind is so chilly, how can you not be cold?
Seeing the emperor being deceived by Yu Huo, Xiao Zhuzi had changed his previous fear, and even for a moment he looked at Yue Wu with contempt.
Just when he was about to curl his lips in disgust, he was suddenly met with a thoughtful gaze.
Looking at the handsome man not far away who was not afraid at all, but instead watched them pretending to be mysterious with interest, Xiao Zhuzi's breathing stopped and he looked away hurriedly.
