As soon as Ding Xiang finished speaking, Shen Yi's expression changed slightly.
It seems a bit coincidental.
Shen Yi also heard what the old eunuch said just now. In this palace, a young eunuch died four days ago. He was punished with a stick and then froze to death at night.
However, I don’t know how many such things will happen in this era.
The probability of ghosts appearing is still relatively low at present.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence.
Shen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to see something from the fragments of the future, but soon gave up.
"It's really a headache not to be able to see destiny too far ahead."
Ever since he was able to see the future, this ability has brought Shen Yi tremendous convenience. However, in this world, he can only see one or two days into the future at most. The rest are just complex and changeable fragments.
In particular, he now discovered that even the past one or two days were beginning to become less clear.
Shen Yi actually had a rough guess in his mind about this special situation.
But we have to wait until later to confirm it.
However, he still saw some interesting things.
It was the next night.
Li Shimin's insomnia not only did not improve, but became more serious. Even when he occasionally fell asleep for a short while, he would be awakened by nightmares.
So he was extremely exhausted.
"Your Majesty, why not summon Li Chunfeng from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, Taoist Li, to come into the palace and take a look." Empress Changsun felt sorry for her husband and said, "Taoist Li is a disciple of Taoist Zhiyuan from the Jingyun Temple in Nantuo Mountain. He has already achieved great cultivation at a young age. Maybe he can find a way."
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
Keep going like this.
Even if he had a certain level of Qi and blood cultivation, he would probably not be able to handle it.
So Li Chunfeng was ordered to enter the palace.
At this time, Li Chunfeng was only 27 years old. He was wearing a black robe, had a goatee, and looked dignified and had a Taoist demeanor.
Just by looking at Li Shimin's appearance, he seemed to vaguely guess what was going on.
His expression was slightly hesitant.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Li Shimin's mental state at this time was very bad.
With his level of cultivation, it shouldn't have been like this after just two days of not sleeping.
But the problem is that the mental tension and nightmares are too torturous.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the ghosts harming people in Luoyang City?" Li Chunfeng asked with a bow.
"Oh?" Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly, "Has the matter of Luoyang City become known to everyone?"
Although I knew that such a big commotion would spread quickly.
But only two days had passed, and Fang Xuanling hadn't even returned yet.
Has the news spread throughout Chang'an? "Your Majesty, the advent of an immortal has become the most important event in our Taoist sect." Li Chunfeng said again, bowing his hands without saying a word. "A group of Taoist elders have come out of the mountains to look for the immortal. Even my master has probably come out of the mountains and is heading towards Luoyang."
"Okay, okay."
Li Shimin laughed instead.
But how much laughter is hidden in this laughter, perhaps only he himself knows.
Shen Yi, who was also watching this scene from high in the sky, also noticed something.
First of all, although Li Chunfeng was respectful to Emperor Li Shimin, he did not have much fear of him.
Secondly, Li Chunfeng, as an official of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Observatory, called himself a poor monk rather than a subject in front of Li Shimin.
Plus Li Shimin’s reaction at this time.
I’m afraid that the Taoist sect in this world is quite powerful.
now.
Li Shimin seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue.
He asked directly: "I have been feeling that the palace is a bit chilly these days and it is hard for me to fall asleep. Taoist Li is very skilled in Taoism. Can he solve this problem?"
Although the tone was ordinary, these words were obviously somewhat cold and sharp considering his status as an emperor.
However, Li Chunfeng's expression did not change.
"Your Majesty, has anyone died in the palace recently?"
Li Shimin did not reply.
Naturally, he could not reveal that he was unable to sleep because of the death of a little eunuch.
He just glanced at the old eunuch on the other side.
"Master Li." The old eunuch understood and took a step forward. "There are many people in the palace, so it is inevitable that there will be some accidents. However, in the past few days, only one young eunuch caught a cold and died."
"But died at night?" Li Chunfeng asked again.
"Yes." replied the old eunuch.
"Did he have any resentment during his lifetime?" Li Chunfeng asked again.
"This" the old eunuch could not answer.
"Your Majesty." Li Chunfeng did not continue to ask, but looked at Li Shimin with a worried look, "In recent days, ghost incidents have occurred in many places. These ghosts all had grudges when they were alive, and all died in the middle of the night."
"You mean," Li Shimin's eyes turned dangerous, "there is a ghost in my palace?"
"I can't be sure." Li Chunfeng shook his head, then said, "But I have searched through the classics in the past few days and found that there is indeed a saying that this is a vengeful spirit that kills people and is extremely cruel."
Li Chunfeng seemed not to see Li Shimin's gaze, and even emphasized the last few words.
Shen Yi, who had been watching this scene, also had a strange expression on his face.
Was Li Chunfeng trying to scare Li Shimin, or did he really look up the ancient books and find something related to this evil ghost? Or was it just a coincidence?
Shen Yi doesn’t know much about the end of this world.
I don’t know the true nature of evil spirits and the reasons for their appearance.
And the most important thing.
The reason why fate is broken like this.
So, he couldn't help but become curious.
At this moment, Li Shimin stared closely at the eyes of this proud young Taoist, as if he wanted to see something.
But in the end, he still slowly asked: "The Taoist foundation is indeed profound, so have you found a solution?"
"I'll give it a try." Li Chunfeng said with a serious expression.
"Okay." Li Shimin nodded.
Now, he not only wants to solve his insomnia problem, but also wants to see whether Taoism really has any means to deal with ghosts.
And Shen Yi also wanted to take a look.
So, on this day, Li Chunfeng set up an altar at the place where the little eunuch died, and prepared chicken blood, animal blood, and a pile of various talismans.
It was a lot of noise.
All the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace were driven to other places and watched from afar.
Everyone had a look of horror on their faces.
It was obvious that the news that there was a ghost in the palace had spread quietly at some point, and Li Chunfeng's actions at this time seemed to confirm the rumor.
74/105 Today is the third update. I need to adjust my work and rest schedule and stop staying up late. Otherwise, I will stay up late at night and have no energy during the day, and then I will stay up late at night again. It’s a vicious cycle. TT (End of this chapter)
