Chapter 53
Wang Sheng also looked up at the sky instantly. Why did a ghost area appear in the East Palace?
He suddenly thought of the formation he had moved last night. He was in a hurry to control the paper man back last night and forgot to restore the formation. Could it be because of this that it was discovered by the Queen's people?
"Yin Jianyue..." Wang Sheng turned around and was about to ask Yin Jianyue to see if she knew this ghost realm and whether it was someone sent by the queen, but when he turned around, there was no one beside him.
He was the only one in the study.
Wang Sheng was stunned. When did Yin Jianyue and the others disappear? Weren't they all dragged into the ghost realm at the same time? Why was he the only one left? Wang Sheng pondered, wondering if this ghost realm could separate people and deal with them one by one?
However, he quickly rejected this idea. It was very likely that the ghost masters in this ghost realm could separate those who had already entered the ghost realm. Yin Jianyue and the others had probably returned to their normal study room.
This ghost realm is coming for him!
Atop the East Palace wall, Chen Kanglian watched the figure at the study window with interest, but once he saw clearly, he became puzzled. The men assigned to keep an eye on Shi Ye and Wang Sheng reported back that the two had come into contact with the Crown Prince in Pingyang, but Shi Ye had since left Pingyang City alone, leaving no trace of Wang Sheng.
Chen Kanglian thought that the person who returned to Beijing with the prince was Wang Sheng, but the person in the study was not Wang Sheng at all. He was wrong.
But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who it is. It's just a pity that the person who goes against him is not Xia Yue's old acquaintance. He really wants to see Xia Yue lose his composure.
Because of the angle, Wang Sheng couldn't see Chen Kanglian. He was still looking at the sky cautiously. Half a cup of tea had passed, but nothing had happened yet. Wang Sheng became more and more uneasy.
Yin Jianyue said that there were two ghost controllers around the queen, both of whom were very powerful. He didn't know which one was behind this, or maybe both of them were there, and now he only had Han Tan's evil ghost to fight against.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash on the roof. Wang Sheng looked up but didn't see anything. But soon, one crash after another was heard. Wang Sheng looked outside and saw that the raindrops in mid-air changed from water to gold as big as stools and fell down.
The roof was not broken at first, but it could not withstand the gold that kept falling. There was so much gold on the roof that it could not hold any more and it all rolled to the ground. The roof was also shaking and could not bear the pressure.
Wang Sheng quickly moved to the corridor. Although the tiles above the corridor were connected to the roof of the study, it looked more stable than the roof of the study because it was narrow.
As expected, not long after Wang Sheng went out, the roof of the study collapsed, smashing everything in the study into pieces. If Wang Sheng had come out a little later, he would have been shattered like the things inside.
The smoke and dust from the lime in the house sprayed out. Wang Sheng covered his nose and sat on the ground to avoid it.
He hid under the corridor, and the gold continued to fall. It was no use hiding here all the time, as he would be hit sooner or later.
He thought of Han Tan's paper bride. Although Han Tan and he were not in the same ghost realm, they were definitely not too far away. Wang Sheng immediately tried to call out the paper bride, "The candles are extinguished at midnight, and the soul is revealed. With blood as a bond, the spirit obeys my command, Chen Li!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a paper figure appeared in front of Wang Sheng. The paper figure was wearing a red wedding dress and had red circles on its face. It raised its hand to cover its mouth and looked at Wang Sheng frame by frame.
Han Tan, who was outside the ghost realm, also discovered that the Paper Bride was gone. He shouted to Yin Jianyue, "Your Highness, Wang Sheng must have been dragged into the ghost realm, and he's probably in danger now."
The sky before them was still clear.
Yin Jianyue knew about this without him having to tell her, because he knew who was responsible. The only person who dared to take action in the Eastern Palace was his good mother, and the ghost driver must be Chen Kanglian. The other Xia Yue would not take action easily.
"You stay here and guard. I need to go to Changqiu Palace." Yin Jianyue was a little unsure. He knew Wang Sheng would be exposed, but he didn't expect it to happen the day after he returned. He didn't know that the Queen didn't know Wang Sheng's identity at all and thought he was sent by the Prince of Huai'an in the far north.
Yin Jianyue hurried out of the East Palace. In a corner not far away, Xia Yue hid behind a pillar and watched Yin Jianyue leave. Judging from the direction, it should be Changqiu Palace.
Xia Yue walked out of the corner and looked up at the sky above the East Palace. Chen Kanglian had already taken action. Who on earth was in this palace that caused Chen Kanglian and the prince to make such a big fuss?
He continued to hide outside the East Palace, ready to act according to the circumstances.
Inside the East Palace.
Wang Sheng had an expression of disbelief on his face. In front of him was a piece of gold, no, it should be a gold nugget. Under the gold nugget, a corner of a red paper man was exposed.
"Chen Li?!" No, how come Chen Li was knocked down by a gold nugget before he could even get back!
Hadn't it fought back and forth against him and the master in Pingyang? How come it stopped just because of a single gold nugget?
Shi also told him that the ghost domain that entered first would suppress the ghost domain that entered later, making it impossible for the evil ghost that appeared later to use the ghost domain. As long as the evil ghost that appeared later was stronger than the previous one, the ghost domain could achieve counter-suppression, just like the green-faced general and the statue in Fangjia Village.
When Wang Sheng summoned Chen Li, he was already prepared for the fact that this ghost domain was not as powerful as his own. However, he was still not prepared enough. Chen Li was nothing but a piece of waste paper when he left his ghost domain.
Wang Sheng hugged his head and sighed. He suddenly felt a little regretful. He should have been more cautious and thought more last night, otherwise he would not have been discovered by others.
But it was no use regretting it now. He fixed his gaze, carefully surveying the entire Eastern Palace. The master had said that ghost riders usually appeared in their own ghost realms. Han Tan's paper bride was merely an accident. This meant that the ghost rider who had trapped him was somewhere, watching him flee in panic.
The ceiling of the corridor above his head was about to collapse. Wang Sheng let out a breath, then got up and started running quickly towards the place that had not collapsed yet.
Wang Sheng hid everywhere in the East Palace. Chen Kanglian's smile deepened when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that the person who dared to make such a trick was so weak that he couldn't even defeat the first evil spirit he released.
Chen Kang snorted and watched Wang Sheng flee with remarkable ease. However, he didn't realize that Wang Sheng seemed to be running aimlessly. Once he checked his location and found no one, he would quickly move to the next place.
When Wang Sheng was little, he and Yin Jianyue played hide-and-seek in the East Palace. Every time Yin Jianyue couldn't find him, she would burst into tears. Wang Sheng was so good at hiding that he knew every nook and cranny in the East Palace. Unexpectedly, what had been a childish game back then had given Wang Sheng a temporary boost of hope.
Just when Wang Sheng climbed over to a house to the upper left of Chen Kanglian, Chen Kanglian thought he would hide there until the roof collapsed and then escape. Suddenly, a man climbed out from the window below Chen Kanglian, and the two looked at each other in an instant.
Chen Kanglian leaned one hand on the wall and looked at Wang Sheng below in shock. When did he appear here?
After Wang Sheng found Chen Kanglian, he stopped and took a few breaths.
He looked at the sinister-looking man on the wall. It was him who attacked him. Wang Sheng wanted to remember this man well. Even if he couldn't take revenge now, he would wait for the master to come and ask him to avenge him. What a despicable villain! Wang Sheng complained in his heart.
After finding the person, Wang Sheng took the paper bride Chen Li back before Chen Kanglian could react. Han Tan, who was outside the ghost realm, looked at the back of his hand. A black line reappeared, and another black line disappeared. A fierce female ghost holding a shovel appeared in front of Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng looked at Chen Kanglian, and a smile shifted to his face. He hid under the eaves that had not yet collapsed, and controlled the female evil spirit to bypass the falling gold nuggets and suddenly pounced on Chen Kanglian.
Chen Kanglian's face changed and became gloomy, but he was not afraid of this female ghost. He turned his neck and suddenly looked at the female ghost. Soon a wealthy male ghost wearing gold and silver appeared in the air.
The male ghost who suddenly appeared was covered in gold. He stood on a pile of gold, turning the string of Japanese beads in his hand. His black eyes were full of disdain for the poor female ghost. He howled and opened his mouth full of sharp teeth. Suddenly, more gold nuggets fell from the sky in the direction of the female ghost. The female ghost directly swung the shovel in her hand, smashed the gold nuggets, and started fighting with the male ghost.
Wang Sheng watched them fight, lowered his head, and slowly retreated to the back, hiding in the darkness. After he left Chen Kanglian's sight, he immediately ran away.
Chen Kang even curled his lips. Did this person really think he could escape? Not to mention that the male ghost was stronger than the female ghost, just the gold nuggets flying all over the sky would sooner or later crush Wang Sheng to death.
However, Chen Kanglian had no interest in such tricks, as they were a waste of his time. His eyes changed, and with a thought, the male ghost instantly changed direction, ignoring the female ghost, and rushed straight towards the direction where Wang Sheng retreated.
The male evil ghost floated in the house, looking for Wang Sheng everywhere. From time to time, a gold nugget with black air would emerge from its body and fall to the ground with a clinking sound.
Wang Sheng had placed a concealing charm on himself, so the male ghost was still some distance away. He could have waited for the female ghost to come and hold him back, but he took a step outward, exposing himself.
The male ghost immediately spotted him and flew towards him at high speed.
Wang Sheng looked into its eyes without moving at all. He saw that the male ghost had flown in front of him and was about to bite him to death. Suddenly, it stopped one step away from Wang Sheng, its black eyes widened, and its open mouth slowly closed.
Wang Sheng smiled, and a contract was generated under his feet.
He initially moved around the East Palace hoping to find the evil spirit, but instead of finding the evil spirit, he found the ghost driver first. The ghost driver could only release one evil spirit at a time, so Wang Sheng used the female evil spirit to force Chen Kanglian to summon the male evil spirit to his side and expose it.
Wang Sheng retreated, seemingly out of fear, but in fact he wanted to lead the male evil ghost to a place where Chen Kanglian could not see him to make a contract. Otherwise, if Chen Kanglian saw him, he would most likely interrupt the contract and attack Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng closed his eyes, and soon, the identity of the male ghost appeared in his mind.
This evil spirit was a wealthy man in his lifetime, with enough wealth to influence the life and death of an entire city. However, such a rich man tragically fell to his death on a rainy night.
This man could not enjoy a few years of good life before he died without taking anything with him. After his death, he watched his accumulated wealth being divided up by his branches, which made him so angry that he turned into a fierce ghost.
Wang Sheng was stunned. That amount of money was probably enough to fill the national treasury. If it were him, he would be so angry that he would die. He had never seen so much money in his life.
