Chapter 225 The Cold Buddhist Girl and the Sinister Young City Lord 21
Cha Jiu borrowed the Shen family's Buddhist temple to pray for the souls in the flag.
The abyss opens again.
Amid the scriptures and the sound of wooden fish, the hostility in the dead souls was completely purified, and they passed away one by one.
The last ghost knelt in front of Cha Jiu and thanked her.
Cha Jiu asked: "Who killed you and turned you into this evil spirit that harms people?"
The ghost said: "The wife of the Lord of Hengzhou, Li."
The dead soul showed Cha Jiu the last memory of his life.
A dozen miles outside Hengzhou City, a huge pit seven or eight meters deep was dug. Innocent Hengzhou citizens were stabbed in the stomach by soldiers with halberds and thrown into the pit.
The flowing blood spread along the patterns of the magic circle at the bottom of the pit.
The dying life gave rise to the strongest resentment, forming an evil aura.
A woman covered in a black veil stood by the pit, her eyes cold and beautiful. She ruthlessly ordered that these living people be buried alive.
Cha Jiu felt that there was something familiar between her eyebrows.
"This person is Li." The ghost said, "She is proficient in some unorthodox tricks, so she is favored by the Lord of Hengzhou. The sudden outbreak of plague in Qingzhou was also her doing."
It is true.
After Cha Jiu sent away the last ghost, he walked out of the Buddhist temple and told Shen Suyuan about the matter.
Shen Suyuan's face turned cold when he heard this: "I never thought Hengzhou would be so crazy that they would sacrifice the innocent people of the two cities just to win this battle."
Cha Jiu soothed, "If this plague is also caused by magic, maybe I have a way to break it."
Just like the military flag, once the source of the evil spirit is found, it can be eliminated.
Shen Suyuan's expression finally relaxed.
Although he kept Cha Jiu not because of her ability.
But at this moment he couldn't help feeling fortunate.
"Thank goodness for you." He couldn't help but pinch Cha Jiu's face. Hmm, it was smooth and tender, and the touch was as good as always.
The corners of Cha Jiu's mouth curled up and his eyes were bright, as if he was very pleased with his compliment.
Since that layer of window paper was pierced, she became more lively in front of Shen Suyuan, happy and angry, and occasionally acted coquettishly and angrily...
In short, she is no longer the Buddhist girl who was calm and free from worries.
Shen Suyuan couldn't help but smiled and kissed her eyes.
…
Earlier in the camp, Cha Jiu had specially collected a few corpse worms from the black blood of Deputy General Qiuxu.
"This kind of cadaver worm feeds on rotten flesh and is extremely evil, so it is easy for it to be parasitized by evil spirits."
While explaining, Cha Jiu released the dead worms from the small porcelain bottle.
However, just a few dead worms the size of a little finger caused the entire yard to emit a foul odor.
Shen Qi and Shen Wu covered their noses and stepped back.
Shen Suyuan quickly covered Cha Jiu's mouth and nose with his sleeves, but he himself was almost killed by the suffocation.
He was originally sensitive to such evil things.
Now, smelling this evil aura born from countless powerful ghosts, I feel extremely uncomfortable.
At an angle where no one could see, Cha Jiu quietly used her sleeve to cover her lips and kissed his thin lips.
The nimble pistil penetrates into the bitter medicinal bush, leaving behind a hint of sweetness.
Shen Suyuan was surprised to find that all the foul and pungent smells had disappeared.
Cha Jiu blushed as she left him, whispering, "In fact, not only my blood, but my... also has the effect of warding off evil spirits."
Shen Suyuan pursed his lips, suppressed his smile, and put his hands around her waist.
"Master Yu Jing really has treasures all over his body." He joked.
Cha Jiu's face turned even redder.
After the dead worm on the ground was released, it couldn't wait to crawl towards the place full of evil spirits.
Several places.
There are Qingzhou’s granaries, wine houses, marriage temples… and a small Buddhist temple set up by Shenzhong in the courtyard.
There is a longevity tablet inside with "Li Yuanruo" written on it.
Shen Suyuan's facial expression changed again and again. He gritted his teeth and remained silent, with a chill all over his body.
"Who is Li Yuanruo?" Cha Jiu murmured.
Shen Qi hesitated and said, "It's... the young city lord's mother."
Shen Suyuan's eyes were cold and filled with hatred: "She is not my mother."
Everyone was silent, no one dared to respond.
Cha Jiu stepped forward and gently held his hand.
Shen Suyuan held her warm hand, exhaled the foul breath in his chest, and said: "She was the one who cursed my brother and me."
Not only Cha Jiu, but also Shen Wu and Shen Qi who were following behind were extremely surprised.
This matter is considered a huge secret in the Shen family.
Even Shen Wu and Shen Qi, who had followed their master since childhood, heard of it for the first time.
It turned out that Li was the most beautiful woman in Qingzhou, but she was frail and sickly, and there was a risk of her beauty dying young.
She began to secretly learn the art of witchcraft and sorcery when she was young, secretly using the luck of others to prolong her own life.
But the luck of ordinary people is just a drop in the bucket, so Li set her sights on the lucky Shen Zhong, and used her beauty and family background to marry into the Shen family, giving birth to two sons, using the luck of her offspring in exchange for her health, longevity, and everlasting beauty.
After Li's conspiracy was discovered, he fled from the Shen family and his whereabouts are unknown.
The more people listened, the more they felt a chill down their spines.
How could there be such a selfish person in the world, who would take the life of his own child and not care about the fate of his mother's family, just for himself!
However, this longevity tablet is covered with dust and is very old. I think it must have been set up by Chenzhong many years ago.
The couple loved each other deeply, and Shen Zhong could only do everything he could to pray for his wife's good health.
Who would have thought that the people around you are so vicious?
Shen Suyuan drew out his cold knife and wanted to split the longevity token that was contaminated with evil spirit into two halves.
But as soon as he got closer, the piercing and explosive cries of the dead came again.
The bloodshot in his eyes became even more frightening.
Shen Wu and Shen Qi also tried to get closer, but they seemed to be controlled by something. When they were three steps away, their eyes were blank and they almost chopped each other with their knives.
Cha Jiu pulled the two people back, distanced them from the Changsheng Card.
Shen Wu and Shen Qi regained consciousness immediately.
"This is weird." Shen Wu held his head and muttered to himself.
Cha Jiu walked over and whispered in Shen Suyuan's ear: "Don't be afraid. If this thing makes you sad, I have a way to destroy it."
Her tone was sincere and full of concern.
If there weren't so many people present, Shen Suyuan would have held her in his arms and kissed her hard.
She always...can bring light to his dark life.
Cha Jiu is not arrogant, but the ability to eliminate evil spirits is Fo Lianxin's specialty.
I saw her twisting the beads with both hands and slowly walking into the control range of the longevity card.
As she took the first step, the entire temple was suddenly shrouded in shadow. A cold and fierce wind rushed out from the dense walls on all sides and rushed straight towards Cha Jiu, making her robe rustle and her hair fall on her shoulders.
The strange thing is that Shen Suyuan and the others looked very normal, as if they could not see the strange phenomenon happening to Cha Jiu.
