At this time, Shen Yi had already turned around and left the stands.

His main purpose tonight was to see what effect the "ghost-controlling technique" bestowed upon him had.

The results are pretty good.

When facing the ghosts in this world, you can also contract them as "ghost slaves". Not only can you summon them to fight, but you can also use your own body to bear the power of the ghosts. Shen Yi also checked Cheng Yaojin's physical condition just now. Since he can control the consumption of qi and blood, it will not have much impact on his body.

From this perspective, this technique is quite compatible with the psychic properties of this world.

As for Wu Zetian.

Shen Yi is indeed of some interest, and his qualifications are indeed top-notch. Most importantly, he is still young, his character is not yet determined, and he has greater plasticity.

However, the details still depend on the follow-up and fate.

The night passed peacefully without any disturbance.

However, on the next day, when the civil and military officials entered the hall again, evil spirits appeared in the Wu family, and even two sons died. The fact that the tablet carved by the youngest daughter of the Wu family was blessed by the immortal king was reported in the hall.

Naturally, this caused an uproar.

Although the Immortal King had confirmed the appearance of evil ghosts, and even in the imperial palace, the news had only just been learned, and none of the ministers had imagined that the evil ghosts were so close.

Only some ministers whose residences were closer to the Wu Mansion were still frightened.

Last night, they all heard clearly the evil ghost's terrifying howling.

"So, Qing Cheng, you have captured and controlled an evil ghost?" Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin with obvious curiosity in his eyes.

"Of course." Cheng Yaojin said proudly, "As soon as I got the news, I immediately rushed to the Wu Mansion with my son and servants, fearing that I would be too late. The evil ghost was indeed extremely ferocious. I wanted to fight it for three hundred rounds, but I was worried that the evil ghost would escape, so I simply used the magic bestowed by the Immortal King. Now the evil ghost is on the back of my hand."

Cheng Yaojin raised the back of his hand.

For a moment, many civil officials cried out in fear, trying to avoid it.

But the generals all stretched their necks to look.

Although I can't see what's so special about it, I'm still very envious.

"The magic bestowed by the Immortal King is the art of controlling ghosts. Doesn't Lord Cheng already have the ability to control evil ghosts?" Li Shimin asked.

The evil ghost he saw the night before really scared Li Shimin to death. If the fairy palace had not been right above his head, he probably would not have been able to sleep peacefully.

Now that he knew there was an evil ghost on the back of Cheng Yaojin's hand, he felt curious and terrified.

"Of course." Cheng Yaojin was quite excited. "I tried it for half a night last night and confirmed that there is no danger. This evil ghost is more obedient than my dog. If Your Majesty wants to see it, you can see it now."

As Cheng Yaojin spoke, some black mist appeared on the back of his hand.

A chill came over me in an instant.

There was even a faint roar of evil spirits.

For a moment, there was a lot of commotion in the hall.

Some timid civil officials were so frightened that they sat down on the ground and kept retreating.

Although Li Shimin was also a little afraid, he also felt dissatisfied when looking at these civil officials.

"Humph." Li Shimin snorted and said, "Lord Cheng, release this evil ghost and let these people have a good look. Otherwise, if they encounter a real evil ghost in the future, they will not even dare to run away."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin was so happy.

He had long wanted to release the evil ghost and give it a good show.

I was just afraid of scaring the emperor.

Now that the emperor had spoken, he did not hesitate to respond.

In an instant, a golden light flashed on the back of the hand.

The evil ghost's roar suddenly became louder, and a ball of black mist rushed out directly from the back of Cheng Yaojin's hand, transforming into the evil ghost's ferocious and brutal appearance with blood coming out of all seven orifices. In an instant, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply.

He was frightened and screamed immediately.

Some people even rolled and crawled.

Although Li Shimin was also frightened, he felt a little relieved after confirming that the evil ghost was just wandering around the hall and screaming.

He had seen it once after all.

But at this time, his eyes were on the civil and military officials, especially those who behaved the most poorly.

Close your eyes.

Many of them are from the Five Surnames and Seven Families. This is an opportunity to suppress these people.

He immediately acted like he was furious.

"How shameful! How shameful!" Li Shimin even stood up suddenly. "Look at you guys. How can I expect you to fight against this catastrophe in the world? It's just a ghost that has been controlled by immortal magic. It's even lower than the immortal king. It can scare you like this. How can it be used! How can it be used!"

After these words, many people turned pale.

At this moment when the immortal is born and the catastrophe is about to come.

Li Shimin's words almost labeled them as "useless".

"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhangsun Wuji took a step forward. "Your Majesty, we are mortals after all. It is inevitable that we will be frightened when we first see an evil ghost. However, this evil ghost is so cruel. Your Majesty, I think we should come up with a way to deal with it as soon as possible and live up to the order of the Immortal King."

"Of course." Li Shimin sat back down, but his face was still cold. "What suggestions do you have, Lord Changsun?"

"I believe that we should establish a Ghost Controlling Department to manage all matters related to the evil ghosts in the world." According to the discussion last night, Changsun Wuji proposed the establishment of a Ghost Controlling Department.

Later, Fang Xuanling also came up to interrupt.

To supplement.

Even military generals such as Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde volunteered to take the lead.

This time.

The rest of the ministers, especially the civil officials from the Five Surnames and Seven Families, could see it no matter how slow they reacted. It was obvious that the emperor and his cronies had been prepared for it and were just waiting to use it today.

Listen again.

Everyone's expression changed slightly.

The Ghost Controlling Department was in charge of all matters related to ghosts, and its authority was greater than that of any other official. As long as there was suspicion of a connection with ghosts, everything could be investigated. Moreover, all important positions were held by officials who were close to the emperor.

This is clearly an attempt to use the name of the Ghost Controlling Department to gather imperial power!

If such a Ghost Controlling Bureau were really established, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to their aristocratic family.

Maybe even Cheng Yaojin's deliberate release of evil spirits in the hall today was all planned in advance!

"Your Majesty, I think that is not possible."

One person finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke.

It turned out to be Cui Renshi, the Imperial Censor of the Palace.

They were the Cui family of Boling, one of the five surnames and seven families.

The Bo Ling Cui family originated in the Western Han Dynasty and was already one of the most famous families in the world, even ranking among the top among the Five Surnames and Seven Famous Family.

And Cui Renshi is the leader of the second branch of the Cui family.

At this time, he stood up.

The rest of the officials from the aristocratic families were all cheered up.
